Please see this image: https://66.media.tumblr.com/ea9a5a0dbb676a13ce7728b1840433a1/tumblr_n5cn0sbEny1rmqykso1_500.png

It was found here: https://www.tumbral.com/tag/ozma%20furbanna

Who is the last character in the list? (the one that seems to have blonde hair sticking from a conical hat) Thanks in advance. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 02:15, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Daniel Carrero,  Sorry for the wait - I'm working on it now... Thanks, Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 21:17, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

It's alright. Let me know if you find anything. :) --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:37, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Daniel Carrero, this looks quite like her. Do you think that this is correct? Thanks, Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 01:18, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Nope, she's already on the picture. I'll keep looking. Thanks, Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 01:26, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for looking. I agree with you, that one looks a lot like Gravitina but appears to be someone else. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 01:38, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Daniel Carrero, would you mind giving me the username of the person who posted the photo? The link you gave has stopped working for me. Thanks, Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 03:43, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

"ashleybenlove" would be the username. Both links are currently working fine with me.

Interestingly, the image itself is hosted on Tumblr (the first link), but I found it in an image gallery in a website named "Tumbral" (the second link). The username I told you (ashleybenlove) was found in the "Tumbral" page, which is the image gallery. I'm not sure if "ashleybenlove" is or even was an actual Tumblr username, since the websites are different.

Let me know if I can help with anything else. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 04:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Daniel Carrero, there is a tumblr username for ashleybenlove. Would you also mind telling me when the photo was published? Thanks, Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 06:12, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately the "Tumbral" page doesn't seem to have a date anywhere. I've also checked the source code of that webpage, and the metadata of the image file itself, but it seems there is no date even in these places.

Web Archive links:

• Image file (Tumblr - 10 December 2018)
• Image gallery (Tumbral - 22 December 2019)

So, according to the Web Archive, that image file already existed in 10 December 2018. Maybe the image already existed prior to that date, but was only crawled on that date.

I see that Tumblr username ashleybenlove is huge, it has 24,000+ pages.

I tried to search on that Tumblr blog using keywords like "buzz+lightyear", "ozma+furbanna" and "disney", which have some random posts, but I didn't find that post in particular.

I also checked all articles in these wiki categories but didn't seem to find that character: "Category:Characters" (BLOSC wiki) and "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command characters" (Disney wiki). --Daniel Carrero (talk) 16:06, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Me too. It's starting to seem slightly desperate now. Thanks, Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 19:55, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Daniel Carrero, after hours of sleuthing, jumping from website to website and even asking ashleybenlove as to where she got it from, it may be time to call this a  unfinished request (for now). Deepest apologies, but I'll let you know on your talk page if anything interesting happens. Thanks, Thatoneweirdwikier Say hi 19:00, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

It's alright, no need to apologize. Thank you very much for taking your time to check this. Your efforts are appreciated. :)

It seems this was a difficult request. OK, I don't mind that this turned out to be an unfinished request. Let me know if (by any chance) you find anything at any point in the future. Thanks. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 20:07, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Terminator 1984

Why did the terminator kill the gun shop owner?(2601:204:D980:9640:8106:883E:F07B:C6DA (talk) 17:42, 22 December 2019 (UTC)).

Because that's what the people who wrote the script decided to do.--Jayron32 20:22, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

I thought You remembered the Scene clearly.

Terminator was Loading Bulet but Owner said “U canot Do that”

Terminator said “Wrong”

Wat did Terminator do Exactly that caused Owner to say “U canot Do that.”?(107.77.213.216 (talk) 20:53, 22 December 2019 (UTC)).

What would lead you to believe that a particular user would remember a particular scene in a particular movie, let alone to obsess over it? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:07, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Funnily enough, you actually answered your own question. It was illegal for the Terminator to load a gun in a gun shop: thus why the owner said: "You can't do that [in here ... load the gun]". Why did he kill the owner? The Terminator had a mission: save John Connor; all other human lives were expandable - including the shop owner. Hope this answers your question. It was a great scene! Thanks for asking! Maineartists (talk) 12:22, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

One of the rare questions from that OP that has a factual answer. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:14, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

If "save John Connor" means "terminate Sarah Connor", then yeah, you can "take it to the bank". InedibleHulk (talk) 03:07, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
