- Larisa: Landon, I find it hard to put into words how much you’ve hurt me with your behavior.
- Landon: I’m sorry, Larisa, please…
- Larisa: I thought you were my soulmate, the love of my life. Apparently, I was wrong…
- Landon: I can change, I swear!
- Larisa: Maybe I’ll be able to forgive you one day, Landon. But first, I need some time alone.
- Landon: Larisa, you know that I love you…

Landon, you may still fix it: “It’s because I want to be his supervillain, Meltman! and then burn everything he defends, MWA HA HA HA”
@ Peace:
I think Larissa likes the old German classic from Extrabreit: “Hurra Hurra Die Schule Brennt” (“Hooray, Hooray, the School Is Burning”)
As I could not find an adequate translation … I can totally see Larissa in this song.
Hurra, Hurra, die Schule brennt
(Hooray, Hooray, the School’s on Fire)
Die kleinen Mädchen aus der Vorstadt
tragen heute Nasenringe aus Phosphor,
(Today the little suburb girls wear nose rings made of phosphorus,)
die Lippen sind blau, die Haare grün,
Streichholzetiketten am Ohr.
(lips blue, hair green, match labels as earrings.)
Aus den Jackentaschen
ragen braune Flaschen,
(Brown bottles in jacket pockets,)
so sieht man sie durch die Straßen zieh’n,
(they roam the street,)
überall wo sie vorrübergeh’n,
hangt in der Luft ein Hauch von Benzin.
(and where they pass a wife of petrol hangs in the air.)
Das ist neu, das ist neu,
(This is new, this is new)
Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt.
(Hooray, Hooray, the School’s on Fire)
Die kleinen Mädchen aus der Vorstadt
schlagen alle Feuermelder ein.
(The little suburb girls smash the fire alarms.)
Die Sirenen heulen,
(Sirens are howling,)
alle Glocken läuten,
(bells are ringing,)
die Kinder fangen an zu schrein.
(the kids start to yell.)
Tatü tataa, tatü tataa,
(NEE NAA NEE NAA NEE NAA)
die Feuerwehr ist auch bald da.
(the fire brigade is on its way.)
Es brennt so gut,
(Fire is going so well,)
bald sieht man nur noch Glut,
(you only see embers,)
wo eben noch die Schule war.
(where just now stood the school.)
Und sie singen:
(And they sing:)
Das ist neu, das ist neu,
(This is new, this is new)
Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt.
(Hooray, Hooray, the School’s on Fire)
Das ist neu, das ist neu,
(This is new, this is new)
Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt.
(Hooray, Hooray, the School’s on Fire)
Die kleinen Mädchen aus der Vorstadt
tragen heute Nasenringe aus Phosphor,
(Today the little suburb girls wear nose rings made of phosphorus,)
Radios mit Batteriebetrieb
und New Wave Musik am Ohr.
(battery powered radios blaring New Wave music.)
Sie stehen zusammen
dicht bei den Flammen,
(they stand together in front of the flames,)
bis die Sonne untergeht.
(until the sun sets.)
Die Feuerwehr
hat es doppelt schwer,
weil der Wind sich dreht.
(The fire department struggles, as the wind turns.)
Und sie singen:
(And they sing:)
Das ist neu, das ist neu,
(This is new, this is new)
Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt.
(Hooray, Hooray, the School’s on Fire)
Das ist neu, das ist neu,
(This is new, this is new)
Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt.
(Hooray, Hooray, the School’s on Fire)
Two things: One, Aquarius while being the water-bringer is an air sign in the Zodiac and
Two, it takes fire to make water; which is after all merely hydrogen ash.
That’s a good break from the arc
@ Leomon:
Curses, if only I had thought about we t-shirt contests before making that comment.
Silly Larisa, water is just the most convenient way to store hydrogen and oxygen for future ignition.
You’re still young, so you may not understand but in this world, the truth is…Everything is already on fire and always will be.
it’s worth noting that:
a) Aquaman can control both aquatic creatures and water itself- how powers are actually similar to Percy Jackson’s in that regard
b) there are a lot of aquatic creatures that can actually be very dangerous- Orcas, for example, have killed their trainers with some regularity. ( which should not be a surprise when you realise that, in the wild, if an orca is hunting, sharks will decide it’s time to go on holiday.)
c) It has been said- in the comics themselves- that humans know almost nothing of what si down there.
d) Do YOU want to irritate someone that can likely control crocodiles and aligators?
e) the same goes for is Godzilla exists- he is, after all, aquatic.
f) depending on how much control over water he actually has, he may well be able to cause a Tsunami.
Aquaman’s issue, if he has any, isn’t necessarily that he is useless. It may be that he doesn’t have many options between ‘love tap’ and ‘wipe out everything in the area’ so he cannot do a great deal in most day-to-day situations. ( aka, he’s a good guy to call up if you have a threat t the world- but for your ordinary supervillain, he’s overkill)
Ohhh!!! now it makes sense, oh come one Larissa, girl he’s a keeper there, forgive him dude.
Larissa should love water… especially when used on grease fires and pure sodium.
But still, to prefer Aquarius over Jimmy Squall, The Human Lantern…
