Friday 13th November...

I don't like sharing things like this or talking about them because I don't want to push my ideas or beliefs onto anybody. However I feel that this needs to be said a lot more than it already has been. Everyone needs to stop. They need to put down their weapons. They need to just think about what they are seriously doing. Everyone (EVERYONE for those in the back that think this whole terrorism acts are one sided) needs to think and see sense that unless they stop killing innocent people then there are going to be nobody left to continue humanity.

I understand that a ceasefire is not going to happen. The chances of it are next to none. The biggest threat I believe at this moment is ISIS. They are dreadful people that don't just attack other countries but they kill "their" own people. Nobody knows the real figure of how many they have killed. What needs to happen is ISIS needs to be stopped. UK, USA, Russia, China, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Italy and so many other countries all need to come together to squash ISIS before anymore people are killed. I know that this means those involved will be killed therefore there is no end to the deaths but is it right for those people to have murdered and destroyed families. The people forced to flee their homes, their country, everything they know. Why do these people deserve to live?

We need to stop the killing of innocents. Friday night is a horrendous example as to why we need to stop the violence. Paris became under attack with terrorism killing 129 people. They didn't just kill them. They tortured them. Two best friends escaped the horror by hiding in a cellar where they could hear screams of victims but no gun fires. It was later found that they had slit open the victims stomachs. One of the women- Mrs Payne- said "we knew people were being tortured in the theatre because we heard people screaming, but they were not being shot and these were singular screams." These terrorists aren't even worthy of being called human. No-body is safe. We need to all stay united and stop these killers.

Many things are also circulating social media. Something's are not true. For example 18,000 people did not die in the earthquake in Japan. It has been confused with the 2011 earthquake were 18,000 people were killed or are still missing. Nobody died in this earthquake. There has also been no report of injury or damage from the earthquake. The hurricane in Mexico (Hurricane Patricia) happened in October. There is no knowledge of another one on the 13th November.

The attacks in Beirut, Lebanon did happen but it happened on Thursday 12th of November, they became forgotten and were not given media coverage after more than 40 people were killed and 250 injured in two suicide bomb attacks. There is little knowledge of this. This is another reason why I feel everyone should be united because even though people will say "not so many people died. France is meant to be safe. They opened their doors to refugees and now so many are dead. Innocent people." Well those 40 people in Lebanon were innocent. They didn't deserve to die. They deserve to be remembered and acknowledged by the world. Now I know some of you'll say "you can't remember everyone. Too many people die everyday" I know this. That is what the problem is. Too many people are dying and that needs to stop. We need to work together and stop the innocent killing.

Not only was there suicide bombings in Paris and Beirut but also in Baghdad. At a funeral of a pro-government Shia fighter in Baghdad, a ISIS terrorist blew himself up killing at least 18 people and wounding 41. When will the killing stop?

Comment below what you think. Do you agree with me? If not then what do you feel should happen?

Trapped

Trapped. One chance that’s all I had and I lost it. Now I had two options. Die and then she dies or be thrown into the depth of despair that they call prison and be stripped of my magic then she dies. Either way I lose. This is my fault. They warned me but I need it. I needed it. Desperately. I could feel it draining away with each second. The feel of lightness. I needed it. I needed it.

“Well well well what do we have here?” the man in black kicked the body on the floor. “Dead” another muttered. “That’s a shame. We could have used him.” “You still can” called a female voice “move” she muttered at one of the figures. “Now the price” she stated “hm, his life to be bought back in turn for another” “what do you mean” he stuttered knowing exactly what she meant. “A life for a life” she looked down at the boy “such a pretty boy too. What a fine specimen for the Königin.” “He’s a traitor?” she turned to stare into the figures eyes “traitor? Please he is no traitor. He’ll make an excellent sacrifice for our internal greatness.” “Internal greatness? Wait Königin?” the man asked confused then it clicked. “You’re one of them!” he screamed “garrison’s get her” “and to think we could be civil. I only asked for one life but I’ll take more. Last chance” the garrison’s moved slowly around her “no? Okay. Ersticken.” With that she and the boy disappeared. The garrison’s looked widely around trying to find them but soon they could not. All that was left was the gasping for breath then silence.

“Wake up” she commanded the boy “You’re no fun if you’re still asleep” and he started to stir. “Good” she commented, nearly fully awake he took in his surroundings. “Where am I?” he asked looking up at the beautiful woman. “You are partially safe and you have two options. One will make you safe. One will well… make you dead. Probably” “what are the options?” she smiled “Option 1- you stay here. Make the Königin happy and expand your knowledge of who we are. Option 2- you leave. Possibly get caught by those monkeys die or be stripped. Your choice.” “What’s the price?” he said thinking it over “ahh smart too” she smiled “your sister” “no.” He stated “nothing is worth that.” “Noble too. How… refreshing. We don’t want to kill her like many want to. We have a child here. Powerful and dying.” The boy just looked at her while she continued “we’ve been watching you both. You come from a long line of magical beings, some with access to their powers. Others didn’t even know they had them. It all started in the old ages. 2015. The first of our kind came from your bloodline.” She paused. “So what?” he muttered “your sister is dying. Without magic she will die. Yours is what is barely keeping her stable soon she’ll be thrown into an oblivion and she will not survive but with our

help we can stop that. Like I said your choice.” She finished “what will happen if I give her to you?” “Good question. She will be infused with the magic of the dying boy and he will die she will survive. A life for a life.” “You said that before?” he asked “yes and your debt has been paid.” “What will happen to her?” “She will be alive that’s all you should worry about.” The woman replied “which option?” she asked “I guess option 1 then.” “Perfect.”

A scream rang out. “You said she would be fine, that she would be alive. You didn’t say she would be in pain!” the boy cried “She is the living death. Everyone that dies goes through her. She is alive I told you that.” The boy looked on sobbing at the sight of her contorted body as she continued to scream. He could not do anything. He was trapped.

The popular girls

Run. Run away and don’t come back. No-body wants you here. You’re just a little freak.


I’ve been at this school for two weeks and you already feel threatened by me. You strut around like you own the place, like you are in your own kingdom and everyone should bow down to you as if you were a queen. Well guess what you’re not and will never be. You’ll grow up; forgetting that you tormented and tyrannized the people that supposedly worshiped you. You were the queen bee of the school, the social butterfly. I’ve seen your species everywhere and you’re all the same. The pretty, wealthy and manipulative bitch that lives through the pain she spreads. What kind of life must that be? To be that damaged that you have to pass on that pain to someone else so that you can be happy, if you could even call it that. Yes I’m different. Yes I have scars. Yes I keep to myself but that does not make me a freak. It makes me, me and if you have a problem with that then you know where you can go. You think sending a little note will scare me? Make me listen to you and collapse at your feet? No it doesn’t. I’m here until the end so deal with it. Do you think I care about your kingdom? Maybe I should. Maybe I’ll stop your little tyranny over the people of this school. Maybe I’ll rule your little kingdom and give freedom back. Give people the freedom to do what they like, sit where they like, wear what they like. Time is running out for you and people are tired of it. I’m tired of people like you so I’m not running. You are. I’ll give you a head start but once that’s run out you best be warned. I have nothing to lose but you do. You have everything to lose. Piece by piece I’ll take it all. So sweetheart, start running.

Imaginary friend

Hey what are you doing? Don't get rid of that, we have so many memories from that! No don't box it up. Hey stop! You're making me disappear. You're forgetting about me. Please stop. I don’t want to go. I know you need to grow up everyone does but that doesn't mean I have to go. Please... I don’t want to go to that place. I don’t have long left but you can change your mind. My time is running short. I understand now. Maybe I'll see you again? please don’t forget...


80 years later...


She closed her eyes and the image of an old friend came to mind. "Hello friend. Not long now."

The three little pigs

I am the last pig in the three little pigs story and this is what really happened.
One day my friends (Jim and Jay) and I were shopping for ways to better our houses. Jim found straw, Jay found wood and I found brick. Later that day we had all finished and retired for the night.

The next day a wolf came through our little town. He sauntered to Jim's house and demanded to be let in. "No chance" Jim called and the wolf ran at the house knocking it over and swallowed Jim whole.
The following day the wolf went to Jay's house. The same thing happened and he swallowed Jay whole. I knew the next day it would be my turn but I had a plan.

The following day the wolf demanded to be let in my house. "No chance" I called and then the wolf tried the way that proved successful before but instead bounced from my walls. He refused to give in and climbed my roof where he climbed down the chimney and at the bottom he looked at me and then down the barrel of my gun. I shot him and there he laid dead.

It may have been a second, half a second, but it changed everything

The man, his wrists bounded behind him and his ankles tied in many loops; laid on the floor in a foetal position after collapsing for what seemed like hours ago. “Where is she?” he yelled kicking the man on the floor with every word. Coughing and spluttering
he tried to speak that he did not know. He thought she would be here by now but he was wrong. However he could not state this. He could not stop his torture. Another kick to the stomach caused more shooting pain up his chest. “They’ll be nothing left of you by the time she gets here” he stated pulling a knife from his pocket. “No” the man whispered. Kicks hurt but they were temporary what would happen next would destroy him. “Bring it” he yelled at the two standing behind the man on the floor as he tried to stand. “This will hurt you more than anything else will” he whispered leaning down and striking his leg with the knife causing a cut across his thigh. He was then handed a bottle which he proceeded to pour onto the wound. The man screamed in agony. “I’ll ask you again. Where is she?” The man just shook his head the pain had dulled but was still there. “Hold him down” he spoke to the masked two “I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me or you’ll start losing body parts” “I don’t know” the man whispered petrified
on the knife that was centimetres from his cheek. “Fine” the man took the knife and slammed it down on to the floor, slicing his finger off. The man screamed and screamed and screamed. “Shut him up” the masked men picked him up and shoved a gag into his mouth.
“Now that is nothing to what will happen if you don’t tell me where she is hiding” “I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know” the man repeated crying behind the gag. “This is endless” he muttered “how can you not know where she is? You were with her this morning
so WHERE IS SHE?” the man screamed into the man’s face. His face contorted in pain as the man pulled the knife back blood dripping from it. The masked men dropped him on to the stone floor as his life began to drain away. “You can still be saved. Just takes one call” he suggested calmly. The bang of a door was heard “hm interesting” he stated pulling a gun and aiming it at the man dying
slowly on the floor. “You’re too late” he stated to the figure coming closer to him, he smiled wickedly and pulled the trigger consecutively shooting the man first in the leg, then arm then finally the chest. “NO!” she screamed and ran forward trying to block the last bullet but it entered his head before she even moved a step. Collapsing by him she held him in her arms as his eyes stared blankly up at her.

It may have been a second, half a second, but it changed everything.

Little Red

Down a long and narrow path through the dark and twisted forest stood a cottage. Surrounding the door to this cottage was ivy and black roses. Through the front window next to the door, a little old woman could be seen in her rocking chair. She stared at the blank TV screen as she swung back and forward, back and forward waiting. Waiting for the knock on the door that promised her freedom.
A young girl sauntered into the dark and twisted forest following what she had been taught to do. The name of who she was visiting was tied to the woven basket she held in her hand with a death grip so not to drop the bottle of wine or cake. The girl was known as little red. She got her name from the cloak she wore which was the colour of blood; her face never seen due to the hood that shielded her from the world.

A snap of a branch alerted the huge beast to it's next meal. The girl continued along her way dodging the cracks and missing pieces of the path when the beast leapt in front of her with his teeth baring. "Lunch" he growled stepping closer to the girl yet she did not even flinch. Instead she pulled down her hood and stared into the beast cold black eyes. Fear rose in them as he realized who it was, turning he fled from the path. The girl put her hood back up and continued along the path.
After the long walk little red reached the cottage with the ivy and black roses surrounding the door. Little red knocked on the door and the quiet voice called out "little red please come in". Opening the door she saw the little old woman sitting in the rocking chair waiting patiently. Little red walked to the tiny table that stood next to the chair and placed the basket on it. Taking out the wine she poured it into a glass and handed it to the woman. "Thank you my dear" the woman whispered and downed the wine. Little red then handed the woman the cake. Little red then took down her hood and declared "you're free". The woman looked up at the ceiling and shut her eyes. Forever at peace.

Carrying her basket which held the empty bottle the girl strolled back through the forest when the beast again leapt in front of her. The beast stepped forward into the light and was seen for the first time not a beast but a wolf. "You will be my last meal because then I will be free." The girl only sighed in response, pulled down her hood and stared again into the wolfs eyes "you're free". His eyes slowly lost the light in them and the wolf collapsed on the path in front of her. Little red stepped around the corpse of the wolf after all her job wasn't over. She was the angel of death.

the Little Princess Trust

A few months ago I decided to do something for charity, to give back. What I decided was to cut my hair short seeing as it was long enough to be donated to make a wig. I decided to donate my hair to the 'little princess trust' who make wigs for children who have lost their hair to cancer or other illnesses. It costs roughly £350-£400 to make a wig so I also set up a donate page so that I could raise money for them as well.

My target was £150 which was raised within the first month of putting up the post. I soon watched the amount rise to what stands at roughly £800. Last Wednesday was the day booked for the cut, roughly 10 inches was cut from my hair and will now be posted to them along with the cheque. Money is still being collected so I don't know exactly how much I have raised however I will post how much has been raised for this good cause.

Update: On the 16th of September I counted up all the money that had been collected and the amount was £854. An amazing amount for this charity who make wigs free of charge for children who have lost their own.

the pixar theory

(DISCLAIMER!!!! this is not my theory, I did not come up with it even though I would have loved too! I have however added my own evidence that I found to back the theory even more)

This is what is believed to be the Pixar time line

Brave is the first and last movie in the timeline. Obviously, this movie about a Scottish kingdom during the Dark Ages is the earliest time period covered by the Pixar films, but it’s also the only Pixar movie that actually explains why animals in the Pixar universe behave like humans sometimes. In Brave, Merida discovers that there is “magic” that can solve her problems but inadvertently turns her mother into a bear. We find out that this magic comes from an odd witch seemingly connected to the mysterious will-of-the-wisps. Not only do we see animals behaving like humans, but we also see brooms (inanimate objects) behaving like people in the witch’s shop.
The flaw- The animals in Brave gradually regress back into an animal state, disproving the idea that this is the source of animals acting like humans however the reason for this is simple. They regress because the magic wears off. This could be because the magic isn't strong enough.

Centuries later, the animals from Brave that have been experimented on by the witch have interbred, creating a large-scale population of animals slowly gaining personification and intelligence on their own. There are two progressions: the progression of the animals (which I'll talk about first) and the progression of artificial intelligence. The events of the following movies set up a power struggle between humans, animals, and machines. The stage for all-out war in regards to animals is set by Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, and Up, in that order.

In Ratatouille (2000's), we see animals experimenting with their growing personification in small, controlled experiments. Remy wants to cook, something only humans explicitly do. He crafts a relationship with a small group of humans and finds success. Meanwhile, the villain of Ratatouille, Chef Skinner, disappears. What happened to him? What did he do with his newfound knowledge that animals were capable of transcending their instincts and performing duties better than humans?

It’s possible that Charles Muntz, the antagonist of Up (after 2010), learned of this startling rumor, giving him the idea to begin inventing devices that would harness the thoughts of animals, namely his dogs, through translator collars. Those collars indicated to Muntz that animals are smarter and more like humans than we think. He needed this technology to find the exotic bird he’s obsessed over, and he even comments on how many dogs he’s lost since he arrived in South America, but then Dug and the rest of his experiments are set free after Muntz’s demise, and we don’t know the full implications of that, but what we do know is that animosity between the animals and humans is growing steadily. Now that humans have discovered the potential of animals, they are beginning to cross the line. To develop this new technology, the humans begin an industrial revolution hinted at in Up.
Flaw- Many argue that up took place before ratatouille however the evidence to disprove this comes from toy story 3 where andy has received a postcard that has Carl and Ellie’s name and address on it (including their last names to confirm). This confirms that in 2010, the time of Toy Story 3, Ellie is still alive or hasn’t been dead long. This supports the idea that Up takes place years later.
In the beginning of Up, Carl is forced to give up his house to a corporation because they are expanding the city. Think on that. What corporation is guilty for polluting the earth and wiping out life in the distant future because of technology overreach?

Buy-n-Large (BNL), a corporation that runs just about everything by the time we get to Wall-E. In the“History of BNL” commercial from the movie, we’re told that BNL has even taken over the world governments. Did you catch that this one corporation achieved global dominance? Interestingly, this is the same organization alluded to in Toy Story 3.

In Finding Nemo, we have an entire population of sea creatures uniting to save a fish that was captured by humans. BNL shows up again in this universe via another news article that talks about a beautiful underwater world. Lines are being crossed. Humans are beginning to antagonize the increasingly networked and intelligent animals. Think about Dory from Finding Nemo for a second. She stands apart from most of the other fish. Why? She isn’t as intelligent. Her short-term memory loss is likely a result of her not being as advanced as the other sea creatures, which is a reasonable explanation for how rapidly these creatures are evolving. The contrast to this is that she is in fact more intelligent due to her ability to read and communicate with whales. This would actually show signs of how the animals are beginning to change in intelligence gradually. It’s likely that the sequel to Finding Nemo, which is about Dory, will touch on this and further explain why. We may also get some more evidence pointing to animosity between humans and animals.

And that is the furthest movie in the “animal” side of things so we turn to the progression of artificial intelligence.
That starts with The Incredibles

The main "Villain" could be Buddy (Syndrome) as he basically commits genocide on all super powered humans, however Buddy didn’t have any powers. He used technology to enact revenge on Mr. Incredible for not taking him seriously. Seems a little odd that the man went so far as to commit genocide. And how does he kill all of the supers? He creates the omnidroid, an A.I. “killbot” that learns the moves of every super-human and adapts. When Mr. Incredible is first told about this machine, Mirage mentions that it is an advanced artificial intelligence that has gone rogue. Mr. Incredible points out that it got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders. The omnidroid eventually turns on Syndrome, and starts attacking humans in the city. Why would an A.I. want to just attack randomly? Do machines have an inherent hatred of humans? The movie even shows clips of the superheroes with capes being killed by inanimate objects, such as plane turbines.

Then why would machines want to get rid of humans in the first place? We know that animals don’t like humans because they are polluting the Earth and experimenting on them, but why would the machines have an issue? This then leads to toys.

Welcome toy story. Here we see humans using and discarding “objects” that are clearly sentient. Yes, the toys love it Uncle Tom style, but over the course of the Toy Story sequels, we see toys becoming fed up. But wait, toys and inanimate objects aren’t necessarily machines, so how do they have some kind of intelligence? Syndrome points to the answer. He tells Mr. Incredible that his lasers are powered by Zero Point Energy. This is the electromagnetic energy that exists in a vacuum. It’s the unseen energy we find in wavelengths and a reasonable explanation for how toys and objects in the Pixar world draw power.

By the events of the Toy Story movies, we are in the 90s until 2010. It’s been 40-50 years or so since the events of The Incredibles, giving A.I. plenty of time to develop BNL.

Meanwhile, Pixar is hinting at dissatisfaction among pockets of toy civilizations. The toys rise up against Sid in the first movie. Jesse resents her owner, Emily, for abandoning her. Lotso Huggin’ Bear straight up hates humans by the third movie. Toys are obviously not satisfied with the status quo, providing a reason for why machines and objects alike are ready to take over.
So, by the 2000s, the super-humans all but gone, and mankind is vulnerable. Animals, who want to rise up Planet of the Apes style, have the ability to take over, but we don’t see this happen. Also, A.I. never takes over humans by force. Why do you think that is? It’s reasonable to assume that machines did take over, just not as we expected. The machines used BNL, a faceless corporation (which are basically faceless in nature) to dominate the world, starting in the 1960s after the Omnidroid fails to defeat the Incredibles. In each of the Toy Story movies, it’s made painfully clear that sentient objects rely on humans for everything. For fulfillment and even energy. It’s hinted at that the Toys lose all life when put away in “storage” unless they are in a museum that will get them seen by humans.

So machines decide to control humans by using a corporation that suits their every need, leading to an industrial revolution that eventually leads to…pollution. When the animals rise up against the humans to stop them from polluting the earth, who will save them? The machines. We know that the machines will win the war, too, because after this war, there are almost no animals left on Earth. Leading to only one species left on earth.

due to the machines they tip everything out of balance, Earth becomes an unfit planet for humans and animals, so the remaining humans are put on Axiom (or Noah’s Ark if you want to carry on the Biblical theme where Wall-E is basically Robot Jesus and his love interest is aptly named Eve) as a last-ditch effort to save the human race.

On Axiom, the humans have no purpose aside from having their needs met by the machines. The machines have made humans dependent on them for everything because that is how they were treated as “toys.” It’s all they know. Meanwhile on Earth, machines are left behind to populate the world and run things, explaining human landmarks and traditions still being prominent in Cars. There are no animals or humans in this version of Earth because they’re all gone, but we do know that the planet still has many human influences left.

Some argue that cars cant be before wall-e due to the lack of pollution however it’s possible that the machines sent humans away to curb overpopulation and fix the environment without them, but the world was drained of resources as a result of machines populating the Earth. That would explain why the machines abandoned Earth entirely, leaving only Wall-E behind. In Cars 2, the cars go to Europe and Japan, making it plain that this is all taking place on Earth as we know it. So what happened to the cars? We’ve learned by now that humans are the source of energy for the machines. That’s why they never got rid of humans.

In Wall-E, they point out that BNL intended to bring the humans back once the planet was clean again, but they failed. The machines on Earth eventually died out, though we don’t know how. What we do know is that there is an energy crisis in Cars 2, with oil being the only way society trudges on despite its dangers. We even learn that the Allinol corporation was using “green energy” as a catalyst for a fuel war in order to turn cars away from alternative energy sources. That “clean” fuel could have been used to wipe out many of the cars, very quickly.

"All in all" and "by and large" is also said to be the same company furthermore showing the links throughout the Pixar films.
Which brings us back to Wall-E. Have you ever wondered why Wall-E was the only machine left? The movie begins 800 years after humans have left Earth on Axiom, governed by the AutoPilot (another A.I. reference). One of the reasons that wall-e could have been the last machine on earth could be due to his fascination with human artifacts. The fact he collects human items could be the fuel he needs to survive.

After Wall-E liberates the humans and they rebuild society back on Earth, continuing life. During the end credits of Wall-E, we see the shoe that contains the last of plant life. It grows into a mighty tree. A tree that strikingly resembles the central tree in A Bug’s Life.

When life returns on earth it's more intelligent, The reason no humans show up in A Bug’s Life is because there aren’t a lot left. We know because of the cockroach that some of the insects survived, meaning they would have rebounded a bit faster, though the movie had to be far enough in the timeline for birds to have returned as well, though they’re noticeably less intelligent than the bugs.
There’s something strikingly different about A Bug’s Life when compared to other Pixar portrayals of animals, which leads me to believe it takes place in the future. Unlike Ratatouille, Up, and Finding Nemo, the bugs have many human activities similar to what the rats in Ratatouille were merely experimenting with. The bugs have cities, bars, advertisements, their own machines, know what a bloody mary is and even have a traveling circus. This all assumes that the movie is in a different time period. The other factor that sets A Bug’s Life apart from other Pixar movies is the fact that it is the only one, besides Cars and Cars 2, that doesn’t revolve (or even include) humans.

Humanity, machines, and animals grow in harmony to the point where a new super species is born. Monsters. The monsters civilization is actually Earth in the incredibly distant future. Some people have pointed out that in Monsters University, the college is said to be founded in 1313. If we’re really in the future, then that means the monsters could have reset society and begun using their own calendar. That could mean Monsters Inc. takes place up to 1400 (or more) years after A Bug’s Life. (I agree with the fact that it is very likely that the calendar was reset as the humans were on the Axiom for so long and they were not very aware of time or life so it would be very likely that they reset time.)

The one question is where did they come from? It’s possible that the monsters are simply the personified animals mutated after the diseased earth was irradiated for 800 years. Whatever the reason, these monsters seem to all look like horribly mutated animals, only larger and civilized. They have cities and even colleges, as we see in Monsters University. So what happened to humans? I believe they simply couldn't survive the new world due to environment and the fact that the monsters thought that humans were toxic to them so they didn't try to save them.

In Monsters Inc., they have an energy crisis because they are in a future earth without humans. Humans are the source of energy, but thanks to the machines, again, the Monsters find a way to use doors to travel to the human world. Only, it’s not different dimensions. The monsters are going back in time. They’re harvesting energy to keep from becoming extinct by going back to when humans were most prominent. The peak of civilization, if you will. Though a lot of time has passed, animosity towards humans never really went away for animals/monsters. Monsters must have relied on anti-human instincts to believe that just touching a human would corrupt their world like it did in the past. So they scare humans to gather their energy until they realize that laughter (green energy) is more efficient because it is positive in nature. Some evidence of this is that Andy's monster is in fact Randall. The evidence of this is first shown in toy story where on Andy's closet door there is a sticker of a newt.

showing that Andy is interested in newts which could resemble a childhood memory of a huge creature coming into his room at night. The second piece of evidence is when Randall is practicing the wallpaper of the children he scares.

This could show that Randall is Andy's monster which again shows all Pixar films are linked and that the monsters have to go back in time.
Not only this but also the fact that boo has many different figures from toy story in her room.

The Jessie doll and the bouncy ball this shows that again they are in the same time zone.
We even see a connection between A Bug’s Life and Monsters Inc. via the trailer we see in both movies. As you can see, the trailer looks exactly the same, except the one in A Bug’s Life is noticeably older and more decrepit, while the one in Monsters Inc. (where Randall is sent via a door) has humans and looks newer.

On the left is the trailer from A Bug’s Life and the one on the right is from Monsters Inc. The one on the left looks older and more rundown. Even the vegetation is noticeably dryer and there’s less of it. The trailer on the right has humans and the frame even includes tall grass and a tree hanging overhead.

That said, Monsters Inc. is so far the most futuristic Pixar movie. By the end, humans, animals, and machines have finally found a way to understand each other and live harmoniously and then there’s Boo. What do you think happened to her? She saw everything take place in future earth where “kitty” was able to talk. She became obsessed with finding out what happened to her friend Sully and why animals in her time weren’t quite as smart as the ones she’d seen in the future. She remembers that “doors” are the key to how she found Sully in the first place and becomes…

The witch. Boo is the witch from Brave. She figures out how to travel in time to find Sully, and goes back to what she believes is the source: The will-of-the-wisps. They are what started everything, and as a witch, she cultivates this magic in an attempt to find Sully by creating doors going backwards and forwards in time.
The evidence: first is the drawing of sully in her work shop,

the second piece of evidence is the few figures of newts. This again relates to Randall who we know is Boo's (mary) monster.

the third piece of evidence is the pizza truck where in the 14th-15th century there is no way she could have known about it unless she had seen it before like in the future.

Many people have speculated how the easter eggs are scattered throughout all the Pixar movies. There are many ideas but a great theory offered by some that is that these easter eggs are planted by Boo either intentionally or accidentally as she travels through time to find Sully. The question is, is how did Boo travel in time in the first place, and why is she obsessed with wood? Boo must have discovered that wood has been the source of energy all along, not just humans. The machines and monsters in Monsters Inc. use doors because they’re made of wood and found a way to use that energy to travel in time.

Many have pointed out how the door that banishes monsters is metal. That’s probably because wood is used to harness this magic, and using a metal door would stop a banished monster from going back through it. Obsessed with finding Sully, Boo travelled across the Pixar universe using doors. So Boo went back to the Dark Ages, probably because she could use plenty of wood there for her experiments or to study the will-o-wisps. We know that her first encounter with Mor’du ended with her turning him into a monstrous bear, but he regresses. She probably wanted to turn him into a bear because Sully resembles a bear, and she is still trying to figure out where Sully comes from.

Some people like to believe that she did find sully in the end however I don't think she did. I think she travelled through the Pixar universe trying to find a way to find sully but due to the pollution of earth and wars between species, she went to the 14th-15th century ie. brave and tried to create sully using the will-o-wisps but because her first attempt failed and there was no way to get back to her own time she went crazy in the work shop creating more and more bear figures. Her love for Sully is, after all, the crux of the entire Pixar universe. The love of different people of different ages and even different species finding ways to live on Earth without destroying it because of a lust for energy.

And that is the Pixar Theory.

8 Facts about the hunger games series
1) The plant that is Katniss’ namesake is also known as “arrowhead.”
2) Collins got the idea for Katniss’ story when she was channel surfing one night and kept seeing different reality TV shows on some channels, juxtaposed with footage from the Iraq War on others. She said that “these two things began to sort of fuse together in a very unsettling way.”
3) While on set, Jennifer Lawrence told Josh Hutcherson she could kick all the way over his head, but when she tried, she accidentally kicked him in the head and gave him a concussion.
4) Banks’ favorite Effie costume is the monarch butterfly outfit she wears at the reaping in Catching Fire. It’s made of feathers that were hand-painted to look like butterflies.
5) Jennifer Lawrence’s favorite Katniss costume is the gold dress she wears during the Tribute Parade in Catching Fire.
6) As a child, Lawrence’s nickname was “Plays With Fire.” When she was older, her parents told her it was because they had decided not to have any more children when she came along, and “they got burned.”
7) Jacqueline Emerson, who plays Foxface in the first film, accidentally gave herself a black eye during training. She wasn’t allowed to tell anyone she’d been cast in the film so she had to lie to her friends at school about how she got it.
8) Ultimately, Collins hopes people who read or watch the series will ask themselves “questions about how elements of the book might be relevant in their own lives,” like not taking your next meal for granted and being politically aware.

I absolutely love this song and after watching mockingjay part 1 I could not stop singing it. The lyrics are amazing and if she was singing it to Peeta then the words fit perfectly. 'If we met at midnight' of course reference to catching fire and their plan to meet again at midnight. 'In the hanging tree' could have been when Peeta saved her from starving when she was curled up under a tree outside the bakery. Also was the line 'dead man called out for his love to flee' really a coincidence that it was sung at the same time as when Peeta told her Snow's plan to bomb district 13?

10 facts about district 12
◾All the living victors of District 12: Haymitch, Katniss and Peeta have killed Careers sometime in their Games. Katniss killed Glimmer, Marvel, Cato, Gloss, and a female from 4, Peeta killed Brutus, and Haymitch killed four unnamed Careers in his Games, including the District 1 female.

◾All of the living victors of District 12 have competed in a Quarter Quell.

◾All of the living victors of District 12 won their first Hunger Games at the age of 16.

◾All three living victors have comforted someone in their last moments: Katniss comforted Rue in the 74th Hunger Games, Peeta comforted the female morphling in the 75th Hunger Games and Haymitch comforted Maysilee Donner in the 50th Hunger Games.

◾According to The Hunger Games Adventures, District 12 is located on the East Coast of Panem and is the smallest district by size.

◾Each of the known victors from District 12 has done an act that makes the Capitol look foolish. Katniss and Peeta both almost ate the berries, knowing the Capitol need their victor, therefore both of them won. Haymitch used the forcefield as a weapon, because when the girl from District 1 threw her axe towards him, she didn't know it would come back, thereby getting an axe in her head, resulting in Haymitch's victory in the 50th Hunger Games.

◾Although it was one of the most targeted districts during the 2nd rebellion, District 12 never had an officially organized rebellion against the Capitol, as it was fire-bombed and destroyed early into the war.

◾In the film it is recognized that District 12 only has 3 victors. However in the first book it is said that District 12 has 4 victors. In the first chapter of The Hunger Games on page nineteen, Katniss states "Then he reads the list of past District 12 victors. In seventy-four years, we have had exactly two. Only one is still alive." Due to the first victor being dead, and Haymitch having been the only one for many years, it can be assumed that the first District 12 victor won a very early Hunger Games, and was possibly alive to mentor Haymitch.

◾According to the Capitol.PN, District 12 has 15 mines in operation with a population of 7,935, making it the smallest of the twelve operational districts, in terms of population.

◾It is considered the poorest district of Panem.

Haymitch sober

Effie no makeup or wigs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4e-qJdEAXo President Snow, Peeta and Johanna- peeta has a point pushed to his throat and Johanna is wearing a 'wave' dress both the same as their torture.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrPy1hTQtVI this scene makes me feel so depressed every time I see it but watch Katniss and how relived she looks. "I don't want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I'm not." Foreshadowing I believe.

I wish there was more explaining about Cinna's death and I feel that Katniss wrote him off as soon as she found out about his death after all he played a big part in her being noticed in the first place which started the whole revolution and the saying "the girl on fire".

This has to be my favourite quote in the whole series. It's so simple but it means so much for them. Even in peeta's hijacked state he remembers it and it turns into a symbol of their love.

This has be one of my favourite parts the whole series and its sadly the last part in the trilogy.

They play in the Meadow. The dancing girl with the dark hair and blue eyes. The boy with blond curls and grey eyes, struggling to keep up with her on his chubby toddler legs. It took five, ten, fifteen years for me to agree. But Peeta wanted them so badly. When I first felt her stirring inside of me, I was consumed with a terror that felt as old as life itself. Only the joy of holding her in my arms could tame it. Carrying him was a little easier, but not much.
The questions are just beginning. The arenas have been completely destroyed, the memorials built, there are no more Hunger Games. But they teach about them at school, and the girl knows we played a role in them. The boy will know in a few years. How can I tell them about that world without frightening them to death? My children, who take the words of the song for granted:

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.

Here it’s safe, here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

My children, who don’t know they play on a graveyard. Peeta says it will be okay. We have each other. And the book. We can make them understand in a way that will make them braver. But one day I’ll have to explain about my nightmares. Why they came. Why they won’t ever really go away. I’ll tell them how I survive it. I’ll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because I’m afraid it could be taken away. That’s when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I’ve seen someone do. It’s like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years.

But there are much worse games to play.
