Anyone whose has seen most of the Studio Ghibli films will find this very interesting. Prepare to have your mind blown. 1. Princess Mononoke (1473) Being the first in the timeline, Princess Mononoke shows us that spirits used to dwell in physical forms in the physical world. This changed suddenly and drastically, as we see how close to death the Forest Spirit was. Seeing how the boar gods and the wolf god were corrupted, other spirits began to retreat into the spirit world, away from the scrutiny of humans. 2. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (1555) The Tale of the Princess Kaguya shows us our only glimpse of the inhabitants of the Moon, where Kaguya comes from. They have strong connections with the spirit world, and we have our first evidence of wizards and witches in the spirit world. We also get our first taste of the dream world, when Kaguya and Sutemaru fly together. 3. Porco Rosso (1930) Some centuries pass, and Porco Rosso comes next. Though we are not given evidence how, we can infer that Porco was cursed by a witch/wizard in the spirit world, perhaps Yubaba, who changes people into pigs. Porco’s plane also has evidence of being a design of Caproni, but was built upon by Piccolo. 4. The Wind Rises (1918-1945) The Wind Rises demonstrates the dream world at its fullest. Jiro Horikoshi and Caproni are able to mold the dream world into what they want to see. At an extent, Jiro also shows other people snatches of the dream world. The dream world can also connect to the spirit world at an extent, which explains how Naroko is able to contact her husband. Jiro also catches a glimpse of the future, when he first enters the dream world. It shows him airships from the time period of Howl’s Moving Castle. 5. Grave of the Fireflies (1945) This film begins in the spirit world, and shows us the train, where spirits can ride to their ultimate destination. Seita and Setsuko are able to watch through the last months of their lives as they ride. 6. From Up on Poppy Hill (1963) From Up on Poppy Hill does not show anything very important to the timeline, but does show how much the war cost Japan. 7. Only Yesterday (1966, 1982) We are introduced to Taeko, who is able to use the dream world to review her past actions and determine what she would like to do with her future. 8. My Neighbor Totoro (1988) My Neighbor Totoro is evidence that not all spirits retreated. Totoro is shown as the guardian of the forest, and it is obvious that he misses human company. He is delighted to help Satsuki and Mei. Totoro stills retains precautions, as he only shows himself to the girls. We also see soot spirits, who have taken residence in the house when the girls move in. They retreat to find a new home. 9. Pom Poko (1969, 1994) Pom Poko shows us tanuki, raccoon dogs, which are the first witches and wizards. They are masters in illusions and are able to pass down these skills to humans. Some tanuki arrive in the human world, disguised, to continue life as normal. Tanuki will later be an instrumental asset during the war between the two kingdoms in Howl’s Moving Castle. 10. Whisper of the Heart (1995) Whisper of the Heart shows us yet another shaper of the dream world, Shizuku. In it, she creates her own story, and meets the Baron, an anthropomorphic cat, given life by his artist, Nishi, who is secretly a wizard. The Baron is trapped in the dream world, but is able to leave due to Shizuku’s actions. 11. My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999) The Yamadas are shown as masters of the dream world, shaping it to their will without any lasting consequences. 12. Spirited Away (2001) This film is the only one that primarily takes place in the spirit world. Chihiro discovers a new world, where spirits, witches, demons, and others have taken up residence. Yubaba and Zeniba, in particular, play an important part in the spirit world. The soot spirits also return. 13. The Cat Returns (2002) An older girl named Haru, who has been affected by the spirit world, shows a skill for talking to cats. She saves the life of the Cat Prince, and meets the Baron, who has been dwelling in the Cat Realm. This shows us the Cat Realm, which is closer to the spirit world than the physical. 14. Ponyo (2008) Ponyo shows us yet another spirit who dwells in the physical world, Granmamare, the Mother of the Sea. She is married to Fujimoto, a once-human wizard. They have many daughters, one of which is Ponyo. Being the child of a spirit and a wizard, she is able to use magic and enter the spirit world. This also shows us the difficulty of turning into a human if you are a spirit. 15. Arrietty (2010) This depicts the Borrowers, a species of small human who have learned to forage to survive. It also shows us Shawn, who has a special connection with nature. 16. When Marnie Was There (2014) Anna, a foster child, is angry because she cannot find her past. She then sees a mansion, and it is obvious it has connections to the spirit world. Through the mansion, Anna is able to talk to Marnie, who is her grandmother. Anna is also able, at one point, to contact Marnie in the dream world. 17. Kiki’s Delivery Service (2026) Some years after, it shown that wizards and witches are now openly showing their powers. One such is Kiki, who has a cat named Jiji, who she can communicate with. Jiji can be shown to be from the Cat Realm. This also shows that you must have confidence in order to use magic. 18. Howl’s Moving Castle (2099) Technologies have advanced, and the world is at war. Sophie is thrown suddenly into the world of magic, being aged by a curse. She meets Howl, who is shown to be able to change shape, proving he is a tanuki in human form. She and Howl later marry, which will lead to the creation of Laputa. 19. Castle in the Sky (2345) Howl and Sophie created Laputa, a floating castle that supports life. Through the power of Calcifer and other fire demons, they transfer their powers into crystals, which are passed down through the royal lines. The prime examples of Howl and Sophie’s line are Muska, bearing resemblance to Howl, and Sheeta, bearing resemblance to Sophie. 20. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (3450) As technology advances, the actions of the human race disgust the spirits, who unleash the Giant Warriors. The Seven Days of Fire follow, leading to the creation of the toxic jungle. Only hundreds remain, and the spirits leave a Giant Warrior deep underground, for precaution. We are introduced to Nausicaa, who seems to have a special connection with nature, like Shawn. In the events that follow, the Giant Warrior dies before it can fully develop, Nausicaa discovers a way that the forest can grow, and the humans begin to repopulate. This timeline includes all Ghibli films except Tales from Earthsea, as that does not take place on Earth. In the Ghibli storyline, there are three worlds. The physical world, the spirit world, and the dream world. Each of the Ghibli films show what the worlds can do, and what happens when they interact with each other.

I don't know. What do I look like?

Oh. For a second I thought you were talking about But I guess not. But welcome to the Shard!

Jeremy decided at that moment, as unspeakable terrors chased him through bowels of Hal's Hardware, that he would never again wear plaid. He of course should have known that people wearing plaid are stereotyped as thieves or from Scotland. Or both. This is ridiculous, he thought. How will I get out of this one? He turned the corner to find a dead end. Jeremy frantically looked along the shelves, looking for a weapon. A glint of sharp metal caught his sight. He pulled away a tarp to reveal the newest model of chainsaw. High efficiency. Diamond edged. Ultimate perfection. Jeremy seized the chainsaw, pointing it forward. The unspeakable terrors turned the corner. Principal Person and Mr. Wilkes, the truancy officer began to walk slowly toward him. "You know better than to run away during a school trip, Jeremy," said Principal Person. "Come quietly, and we can work this out." Jeremy backed away, hand nearing the cord. "Get back," said Jeremy. "I'm not going back to school. I'm getting out of this hellhole." Mr. Wilkes pulled out a tranquilizer and aimed it at the runaway. "Don't make me use this, boy." he growled. He had always hated Jeremy. Suddenly, Principal Person made a dash for him. Jeremy revved up the chainsaw and sliced the hapless principal's torso. He keeled over, eyes staring at Jeremy with hatred and shock. Mr. Wilkes now was cautious, circling him. Jeremy did the same. They glared at each other, deep hatred in their eyes. Then Mr. Wilkes leaped at him. Jeremy leaped. The time had come. The premium clash of mortal enemies. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, just like in those big blockbuster movies everyone loves. At the final moment, they moved their weapons toward each other, ready to strike. Hal's Hardware exploded, killing everyone within a eleven and a half kilometer radius. ************************************************************************************************************ There Irwin was, in front of the class, no pants, dawning with the realization that he had forgotten his pack of gum.

For being an ascendant of darkness(and not sending us heartfelt PM's)

Sometimes, I worry about the mentality of studio executives. They are the ones who approve new movies. But lately, more and more sequels or remakes have been coming out. I'm seeing less and less original movies. Even Pixar is being affected. Let's see, who approved Fan4stic? That movie was terrible? Four more Fantstic Beast sequels? Splitting The Hobbit into three movies? Rebooting Batman after 4 years? Rebooting Spider-Man after two??(Okay, I admit, I'm glad they did that) Giving the Doctor a new set of regenerations? Cars 2? The Mummy remake? The Magnificent Seven? Wait, they're making a Top Gun sequel??! And the new Jumanji movie is a sequel too!?? A Mary Poppins sequel? And Disney is remaking classic Disney cartoons into live-action?????? AND REMAKING ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED TV SHOWS OF MY CHILDHOOD INTO A CRAPPY NEW SHOW?????? NOO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I love MacGyver, but that new show was made for the sole purpose of making money, and it is crap. Sooner or later, we won't see any new films. All we will get is remakes or sequels.

Yup.

This song is a tribute for Disney, but also a tribute to Bridge Four. ( @Faceless Mist-Wraith still working on Cold as Ice) Let’s get down to business, to lift up the bridge! Are we to be martyrs, when we run the ridge? You’re the saddest bunch I’ve ever met But you can bet before we’re through Bridgemen, I’ll make a man out of you. Slaving for the lighteyes but rebel within Once you find your center, you are sure to win You’re a storming, pale, pathetic lot And you haven’t got a clue Somehow I’ll take the slave out of you I’m never gonna lift the bridge To Damnation go those lighteyes Storms, was I a fool in war for cutting lords Kaladin’s got me scared to death Hope he doesn’t see right through me Now I really wish for some ale and gin Bridge Four! We must be swift like the racing Fleet! Bridge Four! With all the force of an Everstorm! Bridge Four! With all the strength of a chasmfiend! Mysterious as the dark side of the Plains! Time is racing toward us till the next bridge run Heed all commands, and you might survive! We’re unsuited for the rage of war So kneel down, and pray to gods How could I honor men such as you! Bridge Four! We must be swift like the racing Fleet! Bridge Four! With all the force of an Everstorm! Bridge Four! With all the strength of a chasmfiend! Mysterious as the dark side of the Plains! Bridge Four! We must be swift like the racing Fleet! Bridge Four! With all the force of an Everstorm! Bridge Four! With all the strength of a chasmfiend! Mysterious as the dark side of the Plains! Hyaa!

@Silverblade5 Who's doing it then? Rodel? Bayle? Both of us? None of us?

Lift and Wyndle Kaladin and Sylphrena Shallan and Pattern Dalinar and the Stormfather Sebarial and Palona Sebarial and Shallan Lin Davar and Malise Gevelmar and Alcatraz and Bastille

Well, here we go again. Wyatt Oleff as Alcatraz Smedry(he's pretty young, and he can pull off the attitude needed.) Christopher Lloyd as Leavenworth Smedry (okay, honestly, he is PERFECT. The first time I read the book, Grandpa appeared and in my mind, I immediately thought, Christopher Lloyd.) Mackenzie Foy as Bastille (kind of weird, but it fits. Kind of.) Natalie Portman as Shasta Smedry (It works) Paul McGann as Radrian Blackburn (YES!! YES!! YES!!) Matt Damon as Attica Smedry Richard Dean Anderson as Dif/(I forgot the villain name) Cate Blanchett as Draulin Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Sing Sing Smedry Auli'i Cravalho as Australia Smedry Peter Dinklage as Kazan Smedry(Who else??) Brenton Thwaites as Folsom Smedry

For denying a request and mentioning pumpkin spice.

Man, this is fun! Jennifer Lawrence as Ivy Jeremy Irons as Tobias or Arnaud Tom Cruise as JC Gal Gadot as Kalyani Michael Fassbender as Stephen Leeds Next challenge: Casting Epics with Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughey, Octavia Spencer, Timothy Spall, and Evangeline Lilly

@Queen Elsa Steelheart Can we be Iroh?

For being a budgie who likes tea.

What do you think Nazh's real name is? Personally, I think it is Sagacious.

So, uh, I sinned and read The Alloy of Law before the original trilogy. I ended up really liking it and went back and read the original trilogy.

Iwan Rheon as David's Dad or Obliteration Stephen Amell as Fortuity Jessica Henwick as Newton Robert Downey Jr. as Cody Zendaya as Mizzy How about Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians: Cate Blanchett Christopher Lloyd Richard Dean Anderson Wyatt Oleff Jason Momoa

For really bad jokes.

If you've read my review of the Hobbit trilogy, you know that I do not have a high opinion of them. I just was....disappointed in the result. Captain America gets an honorable mention, it is definitely the best of the MCU trilogies so far. Iron Man, well, only the first movie is good.

I'm still not sure if I can make it but I'll get you a confirmation soon.

"Sick of tea?! That is like being sick of breathing!" -Iroh

Will Discord work?

Hmmm, all right! I will get on it!
