This forced me to look up the lore on Dark Souls mimics. Apparently they are former members of a lost clan of gods exiled for the sin of avarice.
So, it's not impossible that a greedy princess is one of them.
Fucking princesses. I hate them. Bourgeois assholes. Any girl who wants to be a princess is being failed by the adults in her life.
You can wear one like a hat!
It's honestly weird to store treasure in a chest in the first place.
If you're rich enough to have treasure, wouldn't it be in like a treasure vault or on display?
like a treasure vault
You mean a biiiig chest, a chest so big I can walk in.
amazing chest ahead
I store mine in the middle of my Lego in Rubbermaid bins. Looks legit enough if you aren't digging through it. My vault and treasure chest are decoys!
Rubbermaid full of Lego
You do realize this is worth more than the GDP of some countries right?
Oh, I know it. But it's old school Lego where the pieces were bigger. So, only the smallest countries ' GDPs. Lego today, the average size of the piece is less. They seldom use the classic 2x4 in their builds now.
Joke's on you, the rubbermaids of Lego are the treasure I came to steal
Joke's on you, my Lego is my treasure
And you just throw it around the vault? You also need to carry it, for spending it, otherwise it's useless.
It's the boo box from Hook.
I immediately sent this to my wife.
I'm seeing only one cartoon there, and a bunch of others that ended in 2016 at another site. The "AxbYma9.com" site seems defunct, too. :-(
