My wife was talking with me yesterday about how there needs to be more magical girl shows with mecha and I just started thinking how cool a Precure-style Magical Girl x Yuusha-style Super Robot story would be.

Like, the story starts out as a fairly normal magical girl type deal. Like there's three girls who are all daughters of people working a co-op vehicle start-up, and the initial episodes are about them becoming vehicle-themed magical girls to fight against an aristocratic villain group that wishes to turn back the pages of transportation development. During these initial episodes, there would be television news reports occasionally referring to scientists detecting unusual energy waves getting closer to Earth.

Then after the magical team is fully set up, the source of the energy waves appear. A group of mechanical space pirates (like the Geists from Exkaiser; love those guys) appear in order to loot the Earth of all its valuables. This would include the aristocratic villain group, so the episodes' fights would be three-ways with the magical girls only emerging victorious due to a telepathic voice informing them of the pirates' weak points.

Eventually the voice (a life form composed of energy that has come to Earth to arrest the pirates; much like Exkaiser) arrives on Earth and chooses to inhabit an experimental vehicle developed by the co-op. This also allows him to transform into a super robot. He develops an initial bond with each of the three girls, and becomes a sort-of teacher-like figure to them, although they're quick to realize that although this guy is great at giving advice and analyzing others, he's an absolute dodo head when it comes to himself (i.e., someone who would make for a great coach but a poor athlete).

Then a few episodes later, the conflict between the aristocrats and the pirates reach a climax with them causing an incident where they horrifyingly fuse together. This leads to the magical girls and super robot having a desperate battle against them where they're initially terrified to realize they can't deal any damage to the fused aristocratic pirates until one of the magical girls and the super robot accidentally do a team attack, which does inflict damage.

From there, one of the girls jump into the super robot's cockpit and starts charging him with energy. This inadvertently brings forth one of the other vehicles the co-op was working on, which then combines with the super robot, bringing forth a new form. They're still struggling in the fight however, so the super robot decides to switch control over to the magical girl, and the combination of the girl's battle tenacity and the super robot's analysis allows them to emerge victorious.

From there, it would be revealed that the other two magical girls piloting the super robot grants him two different forms as well, with him also having a super-form when all three pilot him. Then mid-way through, a rival duo of a dark magical girl and a super robot could be introduced, with the two being the daughters of the heads of the aristocratic group and the space pirates who wish to undo the fusions that occurred to their families. The rival duo eventually decides to side with the good guys, realizing the two of them alone aren't able to undue their families' afflictions. This then, of course, leads to a final form gattai composed of the two super robots, all the auxiliary vehicles, and the four magical girls piloting it together.

Yes, at 31...

Albeit with some asterisks.

I'm the solo donut maker of my household, and we're able to get by with some support from my parents for vet bills and car repairs.

But that's for just right now. Like I think we would be able to get by without my parents' support, but it would involved far stricter budgeting, reducing my retirement deductions, and the rest of the household doing emergency art commissions as needed.

In a few years though, I'll be making a larger amount of money through promotions due to really fortunate retirement timings at my workplace.

Speaking of work, I love my field and my workplace is pretty great. Worst I can say is that sometimes my coworkers rib me about not having a kid yet, but aside from that, there's not really anything to complain about. Everyone's pretty mission based, so there's no doubts or anything.

"A Love Letter to Donbas" by Serhii Korovayny

"Not once did I see a representative of the Red Cross", says Maksym Kolesnykov, who spent a year in russian captivity, lost over 30 kilograms and could not walk due to a severe injury.

Most Ukrainian POWs have never been visited by the representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) while in russian captivity. Instead, they faced starvation, torture, and humiliation.

Both the U.N. and the ICRC did not provide sufficient or even existing responses, including when russian troops blew up the Kakhovka Dam in June 2023, instead celebrating the "russian language day".

The active part Red Cross is taking in the forced deportation of Ukrainian children from the occupied territories is also worth noting.

North Carolina had some snow recently and our driveway is completely iced. It's taking some time to melt because it keeps dipping below freezing. We also don't have enough money to buy more supplies until my next paycheck next week. We are running low on food.

If you can donate a little bit just so my family and I can order something so we can eat for the next few days while I try to make something to eat by next paycheck, that would be really helpful and we would really appreciate the support.

They should make another sad robots toku show. Metal Heroes save me.

Normal brain: The introduction of the internet has had a negative impact on story telling, as the power of modern technology can significantly reduce the tension and lead to the audience thinking "why doesn't the protagonist just call for help on their phone."

I gotta say, this show so far is really adapting the spirit of the original Wataru into modern times really well. Like yeah, Wataru might be a gen alpha brainrot boy now, but he's still a good kid.
