  • beaded Totoro

    “My Neighbour Totoro” is one of my favourite Ghibli films. What I like most about this film is its heartfelt story. The worrying about the mother as well as the disappearance of the younger sister are both relatable situations. Though it is slow paced, the film is filled to the brim with joy and wondrous situations and also has its fair share of excitement.

    In the scene where the younger sister takes a nap lying on Totoro’s belly I have more than once wished for a life-sized Totoro just to do the same. Totoro looks really fluffy and comfortable 🤗

    When I stumbled upon a pattern for a beaded Totoro I just knew I want one. The only drawback: that one isn’t quite big enough for me to lie on 😆

    EXT.
    Optimus Prime and Megatron stand opposed.

    Optimus Prime

    Hold! Megatron, you have fought well but stand on the cusp of defeat. Stand down so we may end this day without slaughter.

    Megatron

    Fool! You think me defeated? You’ve only shown me you are strong enough that I must at last use my ultimate weapon.

    Optimus Prime

    What?! It cannot be! Do you speak of …?

    Megatron

    Yes! I have here the AllSpark! Victory is lost to you. You have no hope of defeating me now.

    Optimus Prime

    How could this be? Is that the end of the Autobots?

    Megatron

    Hahahahahahaha … huh? What is there to grin about?

    Optimus Prime

    There is one thing you haven’t thought about. There is a way to trump the AllSpark.

    Megatron

    What… you cannot mean?

    Optimus Prime

    Yes! I have here the Matrix of Leadership! The only thing in the universe that can withstand the AllSpark. Bow to your fate.

    Megatron

    But how … no matter. You may have the Matrix of Leadership but I can always summon a greater power. Behold! The Pillars which I’ll use to summon Unicron. You have no chance with your puny Matrix of Leadership.

    Optimus Prime

    It can’t be! I am not strong enough to overcome Unicron. But wait! If I use my Transformium, I may be able to create a weapon more powerful than Unicron.

    Megatron

    How do you have access to Transformium? It is the rarest element in the universe. As it happens though I have a Seed, with which to produce even more Transformium. Which will overpower anything you can create.

    Both opponents use their Transformium to fashion new weapons.

    Megatron

    You are doomed, Optimus! For I wield Merlin’s staff with which I will transfer the core of this sorry planet to another dead planet for some reason.

    Optimus Prime

    Your wickedness knows no bounds, Megatron. But seeing your evil I have no choice to try and stop you with this Excalibur!

    Megatron

    But how did you know the only weakness …?

    Optimus Prime

    Kame-hame …
