in my experience i didn’t get interested in kingdom hearts by watching or playing anything first. i got interested by watching people post about cute anime children murdering each other and i was like ‘fascinating. i wonder how this got past the disney censors. let’s find out’
#kingdom hearts#khposting#of course i stayed for all the genuine heartfelt stuff. but that’s what got my attention first#media that is clearly supposed to be dark and is dark: meh. ok#media that is supposed to be fun and childish that dips a bit into dark stuff for delicious tonal whiplash every now and then: LET’S GO#‘why do you only like children’s stuff’ eh. cuz i like when stuff can be messed up and real#but when the creators aren’t allowed to lean on blood gore and violence as a crutch. i like when they’re forced to think outside the box#you tell a kids media creator they aren’t allowed to kill someone and they go ok. got it. i will create a fate worse than death#now that’s what i’m talking about!#not saying all adult stuff is uncreative blood gore and violence of course#just saying that it’s always a possibility and it makes me nervous#i like being personally guaranteed in advance that i wouldn’t be jumpscared by upsetting things and personal triggers bc i’m v sensitive#i get anxious without that guarantee#it isn’t baseless anxiety at all it happens. i have been shown so much awful stuff in one of my film-related classes lately#including one of my own worst personal nightmares#call me cringe idc

What if after the Reunion at M.A.T.A bbb and Ali's friends exchange numbers and make a gc where they rant/rave about all the stupid thing bbb and Ali do.
Like imagine:
Bbb friends or yaya: bbb just did 'insert stupid self sacrificing act that will absolutely give tok aba high blood pressure and make his friends go grey before 20' and I kind of want to hug him and punch him at the same time.
Young Agents will be sympathetic and talk about all the crazy things Ali did that gave them high blood pressure.
Like imagine Fang and Rudy bonding over being kinda rivals/very very civil enemies with Ali and bbb but would still 100 PERCENT fight/kill anyone who dares hurt him.
And yaya and ying would bond with Alicia and Iman about being the only ones in the group with any self-preservation. ATTEMPTING to stop ali and bbb from doing stupid things.
Gopal and Viktor (maybe Kai too) talking about video games together and their best friends kinda worrying mental health slash COMPLICATED home life. Ghazali doesn't know his son is a literal child soldier/unpaid intern. Amato knows his son is a superhero but never showed up for all the traumatic events. (Where his son could've DIED)
Maybe Papa Zila and Uncle Bakar talk about being totally unprepared to take care of a bunch of demon chaos children.
The possibility are endless
Sorry for the ramble
OH this is the good stuff
Their friends be in solidarity, hehe
--------------------------------------------
Group chat:
Ying: God damn it, is bbb with you guys?
Yaya: We've been trying to find him for the past 20 minutes
Fang: he better be close by, he's on bed rest from a recent mission
Rudy: Oh, i saw bbb with Ali earlier. Don't know what they're up to so I've been following them
Iman: Wait what, rudy
Moon: Eeeee why didn't you ask us to join????
Rudy: because
Alicia: just tell us where they are
Yaya: Oh btw how r the others doing?
Moon: they're fine, just a little beat up is all
Gopal: eh u guys were talking without me
Ying: says the one who disappeared from our sight
Alicia: was this group worth it
The others are offline and resting rn
Meanwhile... (boboiboy showing him pictures of power spheres and talking about them):
Ali: Omg omg omg-
Boboiboy: hehe, calm down ali
Ali: how can I calm down that is awesome i
(XD this is the best)
Papa Zola and Uncle Bakar:
Papa Zola: Looks like BBB knows your kid
Bakar: he does, they've been friends for a while
....
Papa Zola(whispering into Bakar's ear): how do u deal these kids
Bakar(whispering back): i have nooooo idea
--------------------------------------------
Their friends will probably notice that bbb and ali act like brothers at some point and try to tease them about it and Ali would get really flustered
Bbb on the other hand would be a little confused at the conclusion(though he should have seen that coming since they literally call each other Abang and Adik sometimes)
--------------------------------------------
Bonus ->
Amato and Dr. Ghazali's friendship is... An odd one.
With added troubles that have been plaguing Amato's life, he hasn't been able to find much time to contact him though.
Ghazali has... kept a few memoirs of Amato, Mechabot, his wife and Aliya. Ali's presence helps with the loneliness(he liked it when bbb visited cuz neither he nor his son had to be alone those days)
#LDF AU#Long Distance Friendship AU#ejen ali x boboiboy crossover au#ejen ali#boboiboy#boboiboy galaxy#hehe boi#:)#amato and dr. ghazali dynamic????#mechabot mention#aliya mention#reeeeee

Something New ft. Demon slayer breathing
Jumping with joy that you finally got you stuff back, no reception but still TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR GRASP hahahahahahaahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
After months with no entertainment other than Mother stuck in your head, you can listen to your saved songs, watch your saved Tiktoks, "wait can Mother and Selena even catch the humor in these Tiktoks, Violet probably gets these but-"
"Oooooo what are Tiktoks?"
"Uuuuuuummmmm- how do I say this, lets just say their for entertainment purposes"
"Ah interesting"
"Y/n, my lady pardon my intrusion but may I ask what do these things do?"
"Oh my, these are some of the many things that Y/n's world has made, their world has made many things that what they call a scientific breakthrough, very commendable"
"You sound like you just found that out"
"Hey! I just made it sound like that so they'd understand"
"Violet I require a puppet vessel immediately, I will take vengeance upon that foolish yaksha that has forsaken my child" mother said in a somewhat eerily friendly tone
"Eh! Already but-"
"How can I protect my sweet beloved child from those hypocrites from their head!!"
"Isn't that a little too sudden, surely you could wait a little more"
"NO MY SWEET PEA CANNOT BE TOUCHED BY THOSE SO-CALLED ACOLYTES HANDS!!!"
"My lady may I ask maybe if there were a faster way to help Y/n's condition"
"Uhh-"
"See Vi even your envoy agrees with me"
"I don't think that's what she meant"
"But some deformations could happen if the puppets body isn't strong enough-"
"I DON'T CARE, IM MAKING HIM SUFFER 10x WORSE THAN THAT KARMA HE ALREADY HAS"
"Fine but may take at least a month to help get used to it even with the deformity"
"The sooner the better"
"Wow Mother's acting out of character with this tantrum and I'm supposed to be the child"
"Well there's no stopping her now cuz the last time she was mad... well she... Uhhh... You don't wanna know"
"Now I'm curious about what happened"
"Ah and before I wanted to give you guys a lil something, lemme just take Teyvat out first"
"HEY!!"
Violet handed you and Selena one sword each, Selena's sword looked very similar to Shinobu's sword, stinger-like and a thick sheath. Yours looked much like Mitsuri's, a flexible and whip-like blade.
"I'll be leaving 2 puppets to train you two individually so you can learn how to fight and not die from of the 7 nations attempt to pursue you two"
Violet left and you were transported to a remote area at the foot of a mountain with what looked like an abandoned mansion but it was still in good condition.
However when Xiao arrived at the abandoned shrine you and the others were gone, he failed his mission to glorify the Divine Creator's name, a sin that can never be forgiven.
"Welcome Y/n- sama, Lady Violet has instructed us to train you both in your reserved breathing techniques"
(I put sama cuz I dunno how to make it gn)
"Lady Selena will be trained in the Insect Breathing technique and Y/n will be trained in the Love Breathing technique."
You were shocked on the two children behind jumpscaring you like that and Selena was poker faced the whole time but her body jolted from the surprising orders of Violet's puppets.
"Hold on a second, breathing styles exist?"
The two puppets nodded in agreement.
"Do we start now?"
"Yes"
1 year later
Selena has mastered the insect breathing and he speed, agility and mobility increased drastically and your natural strength (that came with the puppet body) had heighten to the brim.
It was unnatural for an entire year without Mother even if you've only been talking to her for a few months
After watching Demon Slayer with Selena on your break you were interrupted by a young boy with a tall woman and she was very tall you could compare her to Slenderman, she also had long curly green hair with an intimidating gaze.
"Hey it's been a while"
"That child sounded like-"
"Good Afternoon Master"
"You have trained them well, thank you"
"V- Violet?! Is dat you? And why are you a child"
"Stealth my dear, Stealth"
"Yeah with Lady Dimitrescu the second here"
Before Violet could say anything the tall woman picked you up and hugged the shit out of you which felt like something Mother would do-
The it hit you Lady D the second was Mother and the freakishly tall height was the deformity, that made sense and was probably what Violet was about to say.
Mother was on her knees to get down to your level of height as she was about to say something age saw you in the brink of tears trying not to cry and Selena at the corner looked like she was about to ball her eyes out, Mother just hugged you gently as you cry like there's no tomorrow but still trying to hold back tears because you didn't want your first memory of holding your otherworld mother to be a crying mess. Violet was letting Selena cry her eyes out on her.
-----------------------
Cliffhanger the best way to leave it off and why did I train them to be demon slayers because season 2 baby SEASON 2!!!!!
Anyway should I continue on the more angsty ending at the fluffy ending, yes I planed two endings

Lunatic Parade Subaru Sakamaki– (Chapter 2)
[Chapter 1]
Place: ??? (BG black)
Yui: (nng…)
(Huh, what time is it…?)
(Last night, I was having difficulties in sleeping so I couldn’t sleep well…)
(...? Oh no...I can’t move my body…! Bu- but why…!?)
???: ….Zzz
Yui: (Someone...is here...!?)
Place: ホテル•モーントシュタイン 客室 / Hotel • Mortstein,Guest room
Yui: 一Su- Subaru kun!?
(Lemme think? Why’s he sleeping on my bed…!?)
(Could it be I accidentally fell asleep here…? ...Nope, it’s no way…)
Subaru: nnh…
Yui: (Wa- What should I do! He is about to wake up…!?)
*Subaru gets up*
Subaru: ….ah?
Yui: Err...that’s...Good morn- ning?
Subaru: ...Yeah….hm?
That’s, Yo- you!? Uwaa! Why are you here!? *blushing*
Didn’t I warn ye’ not to enter on the other side!?
*Subaru backs off*
Yui: You misunderstood! This is my portion…!
Subaru: Haah!? That’s not一
Yui: Then look! My Rosary is on this bed-side…
Subaru: ……
Yui: (What can I do, he isn’t saying anything…)
*Subaru stops blushing*
Subaru: Oh...I see now...yesterday…
Haah…
Yui: Subaru kun…?
Subaru: ...How’s your health today?
Yui: Eh…? Health? I haven’t felt anything recently though…
Subaru: ...Then, it’s good.
Yui: (Why does that mean…?)
Saying that...why were you sleeping on my bed-part…?
Subaru: ...kh...that’s ‘cuz…*blushing*
...Shuddup! That doesn’t even matter!
Yui: Eeh...but I’m curious…
(Because...he strictly prohibited not to enter on the other side…)
Subaru: ……
Yui: ……
Subaru: ...Tch! Aaah, damn it!
Got it, if you’ll be satisfied if I say it, then I’ll!!
...You’re...having a nightmare last night.
Yui: Eh…?
Subaru: When I was sleeping on my side, I heard you making painful noises and...
That’s why...I go there to check out your state.
...Was it my bad?
Yui: Oh…
(Last night, it wasn’t a dream that I felt my chest hurt…)
(Because of that, Subaru kun has...slept…)
You were worried for me, right?
Subaru: Wha...I didn’t really worry or something like…*blushing*
Yui: Fufu…
Subaru: Shit, don’t laugh!
*Screen shakes + Subaru gets closer*
Yui: Kyaa…!?
Don’t pull off my arm so suddenly…!
Subaru: Shuddup! I’m gonna sleep twice.
Yui: Eeeh…!?
Subaru: Just be quiet and embrace me…!
*Hugs her tighter*
Yui: (Oh come on. We must have to get up by right now...but…)
(Last night, I am sure he had been concerned for my health all the time…)
(Just a little bit...should be fine, no?)
Place: Glimmer Street Main street / グリンマーストリート 表通り
Yui: The antique art dealer that you’ve mentioned yesterday...do you know where he is?
Subaru: Yeah...but saying the truth, I don’t wanna drag myself near him…
Yui: Is he such a weird person…?
Subaru: Weird you say...He’s a narrow-minded guy who always comes up with a disagreement for some reasons.
Even for the father, he is a damn crap old-uncle who always shows-off around.
Yui: You didn’t have to explain it in such a cruel manner…
Subaru: Hmph…
Subaru: However...this old uncle is the only guy who can resist my father.
By putting it that way, that guy is incredible, I think.
Yui: Oh...I see now…
(The one who can resist Karl-Heinz san...then he should be a pretty amazing right…)
(I wonder what kind of person he is…)
Subaru: I am sure he lives around this area…
Oh, here it is...let’s enter.
Place: Aizen Stahl, Antique Art Store/ アイゼン シュタール古美術商店
Subaru: 一 Oi, Ye’ here?
Antique Art Dealer: Hmm…?
Ooh! You’re the youngest kid of the Sakamaki.
Yui: (This person is the artist of the antique…)
Antique Art Dealer: You were so small in the past…
Now you’ve grown up so much, like walking in the future carrying a woman huh.
...I think she looks like a young girl having a plugged-nose though.
Yui: Pu- pugged nose…!?
(How awful…)
Subaru: Tch…
...Don’t care about him that much. I told that he's narrow-minded and has a disagreement with everything, right?
Yui: Y- yes…
Antique Art Dealer: So, what’s up today? For you coming in this place is rather rare.
Did Karl-Heinz assign you any mission or something? Heheh…
Subaru: Ye’ aren’t even close, that old man has no connection with it.
...Do you know that guy called Earl Walter?
Antique Art Dealer: Hm….
Subaru: I had smashed several furnishings of his castle yesterday.
Antique Art Dealer: ...You did?
Subaru: Yeah.
Antique Art Dealer: Ho...you see...the furnishings of the Walter are…
Pfft….Hahahah! Oh my, I see! You breaked them huh!
That was the masterpiece thing you did!
Yaay, you did well, youngest kid of Sakamaki!
Yui: Eh…
(He seems to be laughing so much…!?)
Subaru: O- oi…?
Antique Art Dealer: What are you trying to hide? I strongly hate that guy.
Yui: Is that so…?
Antique Art Dealer: Yeah, absolutely. For telling the truth, he has stolen my treasures in the past.
Since then, I just continued hating and hating him…
For this, I become overjoyed hearing this, you know!
Yui: (I get it...so that was the reason…)
Antique Art Deal: I think I can repair the implements in his castle other than the goods in his treasure house.
Subaru: You mean it!?
Yui: That’s a relief….!
Antique Art Deal: Since you had blown up the hell out of that guy then...I shall help you.
Which stuff do you wanna repair?
Yui: A jar, sculpture and a painting…
Antique Art Dealer: I get the point. If that's the case then I can manage somehow I think. Hold on a sec.
*Walks away*
Yui: Looks like at the end we can come up with something, Subaru kun…!
Subaru: Yeah, I believe so…
*Pulling something big*
Antique Art Dealer: I appreciate your waiting. What about this thing?
These things are quite similar with those types of implements, right?
Subaru: Yeah, almost like that.
Yui: Then...if we give these to Earl Walter, he may pardon us…!
Subaru: Yup, we appreciate it. Then We’re takin’ out leav一
Antique Art Dealer: Hold ittt!
*Slaps Subaru*
Subaru: Ouch…! What the hell are ye’ doin’!?
Antique Art Dealer: Who said I’ll do these for free!
Subaru: Haah!? Did you say you’re gonn’ help us out!?
Antique Art Dealer: If you sound like having complaints then I won't hand these over to you.
Subaru: Ghh…
...Oh! Then I am gonna go to the human world and get some money from that old father.
That’s why...let us make an exchange with these.
Antique Art Dealer: Hmph, I don’t even slightly agree that Karl-Heinz will take out money for such things.
Subaru: ….kkh….
Yui: Then...what can we do for the charge…?
Antique Art Dealer: Let’s see…
If you can hand me three things that I’ll order, then I am gonna exchange these things.
Well, if I put in other others, those things should be close to my hand-maid things.
Yui: Hand-maid…
Subaru: Tch….annoying but...that’s the only way.
一一Understood. We’ll get them for you.
Antique Art Dealer: ...Told you, right? Then, let’s tie up our discussions here.
Yui: What should we search to begin with?
Antique Art Dealer: ...The head-mask of a clown. That should be an antique item.
Subaru: HAAH!? Why the heck you need such a thing!?
Antique Art Dealer: That’s because I want that, so you can’t blame it.
If you don’t want to then you don’t have to, ya’ know? Since I am not allowing exchange if so.
Subaru: ...Told ye’ that I am gonna do it! I’m gonna search for that right away so wait!...What a shit!
Place: サントノレパーク通り / Saint Honoré Park Street
Yui: It’s much crowded that I’ve thought…
Subaru: Ahh...ear sore…
Yui: (It's a parade after all so we have to endure these…)
一Ah! There is a clown right ahead! I think there’s gonna be a performance onward.
(It was a great decision for visiting the amusement park. Because, after it if we ask about the head-mask to the clown, then一)
Vampire Child A: Oh! It’s a clown! Hurry up and come 一!
Vampire Child B: Hold on一!
Clown A: There, there. Don’t push each other, okay~!
Yui: (Wah, it’s a huge crowd...I can’t get near him at all…)
Subaru: Oi, what are ye’ gonna do? There’re so many kids so we can’t get to him.
Yui: Umm...at this rate, the performance is gonna begin soon…
(What shall we do…)
Clown B: ...What shall we do?
Clown C: I can’t answer even if you ask...it’s a weekend after all…
Yui: (Hm? Over there are…)
Look, the clowns are getting prepared over there. Let’s talk with them.
I think they are having some kind of trouble…
*Walks over there*
Yui: Excuse us…
Clown B: Yes?
Yui: Did something happen? You look somehow troubled…
Clown C: Oh...that’s...the clown who was supposed to play main role in this performance,
Cannot show up for getting an injury…
Vampire Child A: So we can’t start!
Vampire Child B: I am getting sick of waiting!
Yui: (Ah...there children are…)
Clown A: ...Kh, We can’t buy ourselves time anymore! What should we do!?
Yui: Tell us! Is there anything we can do to help you?
Clown B: Eeeh!? But…
Subaru: Ha? Oi, what are ya’ sayi…
Clown C: No...maybe you can. If you lend us a hand in the fountain-show then…
...Certainly...if you do that much then...At this moment, that’s the only way.
Subaru: What’re ye’ thinking? It’s now way...we can help ‘em!
Yui: Sorry for deciding all of these even if you’re refusing to….
But, if we help, then we can have a talk with them as early as possible…
Subaru: ………
Clown A: Can you please do it for us?
Subaru: ...Certainly...we won’t have a delay talking with ‘em if we do so…
...Understood, we’ll do it.
Clown C: That’ll be a great help! But...we’re lacking time so, please get ready right away.
Yui: Yeah…!
*After a moment*
Clown A: Alright, dear people! Thank you so much for your long wait!
Clown B: After a moment, we’re going to show everyone in a fantasy world.
Yui: (Aight...let’s do my best…!)
→Game
Words Subaru said in the game 一
What're you doing? Get started.
Looks like we’re done.
If you win 一
*Audiences’ claps *
Yui: (Have we done it...perfectly…?)
Vampire Child A: Ohh! Wonderful!
Vampire Child B: The fountain-show was so incredible, right…!
Clown A: Thank you very much! You succeed so well!
Yui: Really….!? We did it, Subaru kun!
*Yui hugs Subaru*
Subaru: Uwaah…!?
*Fades to CG*
Yui: (What a relief...we get that right…!)
Subaru: O- oi! Lemme go!
Yui: Eh?
Vampire Child A: Look! It’s a couple, a couple!!
Vampire Child B: Right~! A lovely-dovely one~!
Yui: ...kh…!
(I was so happy that I….!)
Yui: Ah, Subaru kun, that’s...err, I didn’t mean to do it…!
Vampire Child B: Couple~! Couple~!
Subaru: Tch…! Ya’ll are being damn noisy!
Vampire Child A: Uwaa! We got him mad! Let’s escape!!
*Run*
Subaru: Fuck…!
Yui: (Uuh...and also, what was I doing….so embarrassing….!)
*CG Fades*
Yui: S- sorry, I did something weird so suddenly…!
Subaru: Geez…
Clown C: Phew, thanks to you two, the show has ended up smoothly.
Furthermore, you absolutely deserve larger congrats than I’d expected!
Clown B: Honestly, thank you a lot!
Yui: (I’m glad that we’ve come out handy to them.)
Clown A: 一Once again, we’re expressing our gratefulness for supporting us.
Clown B: As a thank you, please recommend to us what can we give you as a present.
Yui: Err...Actually, if you could manage us a thing that we have been searching…
Subaru: 一 This one. Can you recall seeing something like this?
Clown C: This is…
Yui: (Ah...that photo was…)
Subaru: It’s a head-mask used by a clown. If you have it, then please give it to us.
Clown A: Oh...it looks like an old-modeled head-mask. I hope it is left out in the warehouse...
However, you have helped us so much after all, so we’ll search up the warehouse for you.
Yui: You mean it!? Thank you…!
Clown A: Then, we’re gonna go there to search….can we request you to wait here for a while?
Yui: We’re counting on you!
*Goes away*
Yui: That’s good right, Subaru kun…!
Subaru: If they find it, then yes…
Yui: (...Looks like we’re having a freetime. What can we do…)
Oh...tell me Subaru kun. We’re having some time so let’s play something cool?
Subaru: Huh?
Yui: It’s boring if we just wait here plus…
Subaru: ...What do you wanna ride?
Yui: Err...let’s see….Oh, what about Merry-Go-Round?
Subaru: HAAAH!? Which fool is gonna ride such a childish thing!?
Yui: Ah…
(So we can’t huh...I really wanted to ride something together…)
Subaru: ……..
Tch…
*Walks away*
Yui: Subaru kun…?
Subaru: ...What’re ye’ standing like a statue for? Hurry up.
Yui: Eh...hurry up but why…
Subaru: Huh...you wanna ride, no? Come along before I change my mood to ride.
Yui: ...Mhm!
*After a while*
Yui: Haa, it was fun…!
Subaru: Which side was fun….such stuff was just embarrassing! *blushing*
For starters...You ended up choosing that horse-drawn vehicle…
For making me ride on like a clerk...of that horse…!
If ye’ make me do so next time, then I’ll blow ye’ up…!
Yui: (Certainly it was embarrassing of two of us riding together but…)
I enjoyed riding with you, thank you for that.
Subaru: …ngh…*blushed*
Well...if you’d enjoyed it then it’s okay but….I won’t gonn’ face such a ride next time!
Clown A: 一Sorry for making you wait!
Yui: Oh, you are…
Subaru: You’ve found that?
Clown A: It was...expectedly way much old, so it wasn’t left in our warehouse.
Subaru: Haah!?
Yui: S- such…!
Clown A: However, if I take the correct conjecture then you may find it in the dress shop of this town.
Yui: Dress shop…
(Then we should go there I think.)
Thanks a lot for giving us valuable information. We’re going to that shop then.
Clown A: Yup. Take care…!
Place: Glimmer Street, Aizen back street
Subaru: 一Where can we find that dress shop?
Yui: Umm...according to the map we received earlier, that should be around here.
Right ahead of that crowd, I guess…?
Subaru: Crowd….I’m sick of that.
Yui: Ahaha, you’re right…
(By the way, I wonder if it’s just my imagination to have a bad feeling about it…)
Place: Dress Shop /ドレスショップ
Yui: ………
Subaru: ………
Why is it crowded here too…!
Yui: Y- yes…
(The bad-feeling that I was having was true after all…!)
Umm...excuse me. Anything going on here?
Vampire Woman A: Yeah, there’s going to be a fashion show.
Yui: Fashion show!?
If the fashion is gonna start then I bet the workers in this shop are busy…
Subaru: Ahh...crowds are annoying too. So, let’s wait until it’s over.
Yui: Right...let’s wait then…
(Fashion show of the Demon World huh, I am bit interested一)
???: 一Ah! Hey you there!
Subaru: Aah?
Yui: (Hm…?)
???: I want you to follow me!
*She pulls Subaru*
Subaru: Aaah? What’s so sudden!?
Dress shop owner: I am the owner of this shop. I’ll explain everything inside that room. Anyway, come!
Subaru: Oi, hold it!
Yui: Ah, wait….!
(What on this earth going on…? I should just follow them…)
Place: Dressing Room / 試着室
Yui: (She has brought us very inside this shop…)
Dress shop owner: My apologies for bringing you here so suddenly but please get changed into this costume.
Subaru: Haah!? You’re doing these so abruptly! Why the heck is going on!
Dress shop owner: ...Right, I was forcing you way much…
For here on, we’re going to perform a fashion show here, however…
It was frustrating that there wasn’t a single model out there to wear my masterpiece costume.
I was able to find substitutes from the time being but none of them were perfectly suitable.
However, in the meantime you show up! You’re an ideal model for this.
Yui: (Subaru kun….a model…)
Subaru: Stop fussing around! Who’s gonna do such a shit!
Dress shop owner: No refusal! I’ll make you to be the model by any means!
I bet you’re gonna be pleased with the costume that I created.
Subaru: Hmph, what an absurd one. Oi, we’re going back.
Yui: Ah, but….
(We must have to ask them about that head-mask…)
(Above that…)
*BGM stops*
(I am very interested in seeing Subaru kun participating in the fashion show…!)
Tell me, Subaru kun...it’s a great offer so please participate in it?
Subaru: AAAAH!? You’re also saying these!?
Yui: ….Please do!
Plus...please lend me your ear a bit?
*Subaru gets closer + Yui whispers*
Yui: You see, it may be the right chance for us to ask them about the head-mask…!
Subaru: ...gh…
Dress shop owner: I have no clue what you’re mumbling for…
But I am begging you too. Because you can be the supreme model for sure.
Subaru: ………
….Lend that thing. I’m gonna wear it.
*Starts putting on*
Yui: Subaru kun…!
Dress shop owner: Woo! Thanks a lot! Then come here please!
Yui: (I am looking forward to the upcoming…!)
Place: Glimmer Street Main street / グリンマーストリート 表通り
*Shutter sounds of taking photos*
Yui: (Every single model has so cool styles. I can’t help but to admire them…)
(Subaru kun’s turn hasn’t come yet…)
Dress shop owner: Alright, so our last display will be this costume of our pride!
Yui: (Ah, he shows up…!)
*Louder Applause + Shutters*
Monologue一
The appearance of Subaru who modelled was looking so cool that anyone’d get caught in his enchantment.
...It was rather a displeasing mood for me though.
He was in an unusual appearance or for something else, I was feeling like he was refreshed.
The shop-owner who stood by this Subaru kun 一一
She is so beautiful too.
I was just curious that...two of them who were getting captured in photos taken by others, what conversations they were having while having short distance in between them.
End of Monologue
*Shutters*
Dress shop owner: The visitors are congrating us so much…!
Come on, you also shake your hand with these audiences.
*Swats her hand*
Subaru: 一Don’t you freely touch my hand.
||気安い means actually friendly or familliarly. However, I thought ‘freely’ would go smoothly with the sentence. However, the more literal concept would be “Don’t touch my hand treating so friendly / familiar with me.
Yui: (Ah…! Subaru kun just shook off the shop-owner’s hand.)
Subaru: I’m engaged. Hand-shake with someone else.
||Spoilers! 予約済み means engage / reservation. I am pretty much sure he meant engaged. Because it reflects a clue about ‘engaging’ to the dress-shop owner. :p But some translators may also translate like “I am reserved here. Touch other else” x’D However it would sound weird or logicless since ‘reservation’ has nothing to do with ‘touching hand’. The next sentence, it makes it more obvious :’)
Dress shop owner: Oh my…
...Fufu, it’s that girl over there huh.
Subaru: ...Hmph.
Yui: (I hope he won’t fight over this time…)
*After a moment*
Yui: 一Subaru kun!
Subaru: ...Oh, you come huh.
Yui: Oh...you have got back to normal appearance huh.
Subaru: Absolutely! Who’d wear that damn cloth for a long time.
Yui: (I want to...tell him about my impressions of that show...How should I describe that?)
→Selection
面白かった / You looked interesting
かっこよかった / You looked cool (+correct)
Yui: Subaru kun, you looked so cool!
Subaru: I- is that so? I haven’t really done anything. *flushed*
Yui: It’s not like that. That costume also suited you pretty well and…!
Subaru: ...Thanks.
Dress shop owner: Thanks for the earlier. For you, we really hit a huge profit.
Subaru: I’d acted just as you said. This time, listen to our request.
Dress shop owner: What is it? It will be a pleasure to help you with anything I can.
Subaru: ...Have you seen something similar to this photo? We’re searching for that.
Dress shop owner: ...Oh, it’s inside our warehouse. I’m going to bring that so wait please.
*After a while*
Dress shop owner: 一I think it’s this one.
Yui: Yeah, it is!
Dress shop owner: No one has been using it since it was just left there...You can have it if you need it.
Yui: Thank you so much! We did it, Subaru kun!
Subaru: Hm...I have no clue what he's planning to do with this worn-out thing…
That’s fine. Let’s get back to that old uncle anyways!
Yui: Right. Ah, really thanks a lot!
Dress shop owner: Whether it’s useful to you or not comes first. If it’s possible then stop by here again.
Place: Aizen Stahl, Antique Art Store/アイゼン シュタール古美術商店
Subaru: 一Here, ye’ haven’t gotten any complaints right!?
Antique Art Dealer: Oooh! This one indeed! I haven’t imagined you’d really give it to me.
Subaru: Geez, my head hasn’t just got that why do ya’ need such a thing.
But...with this we’re done with one of the assignments I hope.
Antique Art Dealer: Yeah, you sure did. I’ll count on you tomorrow as well.
Place: Diamante Fountain / ディアマンテ泉
Subaru: Haah...I’m tired…
Yui: The first day was tough…
Ah, I got churro from the Wagon. Wanna eat?
Subaru: Yeah….mmn…
...The saying that “Sweet things taste more tasty the time you’re tired”, not a lie after all…
Yui: Fufu…
(But, today we really had to face many things.)
(I hope we’ll be able to hold out tomorrow as well…)
Subaru: Don’t make such a depressed face…I’ll be with you.
Yui: Right…!
(That’s true, if Subaru kun’s with me then we’ll be fine…!)
(Alright, let’s do our best tomorrow!)

@persononplanet replied to your post @persononplanet replied to your post Okay but if...
Oh definitely, being a Dai Li agent that tortures definitely does not help the entire ‘I like walking over people and feeling superior to them’ part XD.
And one of my assessments was quite right! Yay! He likes the power and control he has over others (because of vague handwave yong doesnt know and will not just stop a sec for self reflection)
And yup, i’m very certain yong is overall disliked by the entirety of re-education because of that little stunt he pulled, woop.
And yes, actually, if due to some reason Tuan, Yong, and Shirong were stuck together, then Shirong would out of plain annoyance of them and pure boredom just continue thinking and analyzing the situation and then just sigh and try to solve a bit of the issue.
Cuz your work may be torture and dark stuff, it’s no excuse to be an overall dick. (Which Shirong, coincidentally, is a perfect example of. That man is a psychological torturer. In a way, it’s worse.
He drives people to insanity, watches, pushes his victims some more, and then manipulates them into trusting him so that he can do whatever the feels like. It’s dark, terrifying, and its really underplayed in the overall atla fandom how fucking terrifying and terrible brainwashing is.)
And despite that all, Shirong isn’t an asshole. He can make friends (sure he got like...one...but thats more than actual friends Yong has) and he can treat people with more respect and care than yong.
Plus, shirong is a wholesome godfather. Cuz eventho he overall dislikes to be surrounded by people (like banquets etc etc) he likes that little family so he’ll put up with them and try to be nice to his friend’s little kiddo.
Yong has a family, we see them briefly in that winter solstice party fic, but I doubt Yong would be a good and loving husband and father. He has literally never shown any semblance of caring about anyone or treating anyone with respect,
So i kinda feel bad for her, living with the Head of Investigation, a man who doesnt care about anyone but himself and has a big time hunger for power and, more importantly, a feel of having power, musn’t be a happy home situation.
Then again we’ve never really seen yong’s home situation, who knows, maybe his wife is literally the only person he actually cares about but personally I doubt it. If many, many years of being dai li partners can’t make him care even a tad bit about tuan,
Then why would yong care for the wife that was higher in status than him and - probably - has some wealth and power as well? He probably doesnt. And while thats alright in a society where arranged marriages and political marriages take place, you *are* supposed to treat her with some respect. Which i doubt he does.
But the most sad part would be the daughter. His poor daughter.
Her father is basically the biggest jerk in the kingdom and only the jade emperor knows what she has seen happen between her mother and father...
If yong is how yong always is, even at home, then i feel so damn bad for that child. I know exactly what its like to feel unloved, alone, and forgotten and I wouldn’t wish that to this innocent little kiddo.
At least tuan’s her godfather and her mother -probably- tries her best
*coughs* Actually you don’t have to worry about Yong’s wife and kid at all.
Like you really don’t.
Not like that, anyway. I mean maybe worry about them a little? But not like that.
See I have this thing where I’m not super fond of villains having to be awful in literally all aspects. I don’t like it when creators decide “Well that’s the bad guy so we can use them as a dumping ground for every awful character trait possible.” It’s annoying and uninspired and lazy and pretty much my only exception is Ozai because Ozai is just Bad At Everything, except also I do still headcanon he and Ursa did actually have a romantic relationship and The Search never changed that so never mind Ozai isn’t as much of an exception as I thought.
Anyway, Yong is neither a terrible husband nor a terrible father.
He’s not exactly a great father, either, but like. He’s a dad. It’s part of his identity, which he has carefully built for himself. And sure, in some ways, he sees his wife and daughter as tools and stepping stones to get where he wants, but uhhhhhh....that’s how it works in his society. That’s pretty normal.
Normal to the point that he uses his wife as much as she uses him. They met, had a whirlwind romance, he realized this upper-middle class young woman and her family could definitely help him in his career, she realized this up-and-coming regular-middle class young man was going places and it’d be beneficial to hitch a wagon to his shining star, and they formalized the whole arrangement with a marriage. And welp, that sure did turn out to be a good investment for the both of them! He became one of the highest officials in the government, she gets to be the wife of someone super important, and they both get to live in the Upper Ring and chill with nobility despite being Middle Ring commoners. Also her family gets all sorts of business deals thanks to their brilliant son-in-law’s connections. So everyone’s gotten what they want, and Yong’s wife probably doesn’t know the details of what he does at work, and she probably doesn’t care to, and if she did know about the torture, she’d probably shrug like “Well sometimes that’s just how it goes, isn’t it? How else is my husband supposed to keep the city safe?”
She’s not affected by it, and more importantly she doesn’t want to be affected by it. If you try to bring her attention to the torture, she is not going to be shocked or aghast or even teary over how you’ve opened her eyes to her husband’s horrible practices. She’s going to be very annoyed at you for attempting to throw a wrench into the gears of the privilege machine that is her life. And then she’s going to complain to Yong about you, because she knows her powerful husband will fix it.
She probably knows about his extra-marital activities, too, and she also probably doesn’t care so long as everyone knows she’s his wife and no other partners matter. It’s a small price to pay for the life she’s leading. Plenty of powerful people in Ba Sing Se have lovers on the side! Heck she might too, who knows?
As for their daughter, well, having a kid was part and parcel of the whole enterprise. That’s what you do, isn’t it? Get married, have a kid, pass on the family lineage? Also they just kinda liked the idea of it. So they had a kid, and Thi is growing up to be another privileged little lady. Her father is very powerful and her life is very nice and she wants for nothing and she doesn’t know what her dad does all day but she does know he’s a hero who protects the city.
Yong may not be winning Father of the Year anytime soon, but he’s not a bad dad. If anything he’s kinda like the stereotypical Victorian father who provides for his family and is loved and respected but maybe not necessarily close to his kid, and then proceeds to go to the office where he continues to subjugate the empire’s colonies using the power of coal mined by impoverished children. The main difference is that Yong is a bit more hands-on, but eh. *handwave* Storytelling. Whatever.
There are lots of people out there who got raised by loving parents who were also just...not great people. There are lots of people out there who were raised by their loving parents to be just as not-great. And they don’t even realize it, because to them their privilege is normal, and they aren’t going to be very bothered with changing things. Or they won’t want to because it’ll mean they’ll have to confront the fact that they might not be great people. Or their parents weren’t great people, and the way they were raised was wrong. That can be a scary and hard and upsetting process to go through.
And Yong’s family really has no reason to want to go through it. Why would they? Their husband/father is an important man who protects the city and provides for his family. What else could they possibly want?

HeliosR - Dino Albani Character story - part 2
Translation of the second part of Dino’s character story from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’.
Junior: FFFFUUUUUUCK!!!
Faith: You’re loud, Ochibi-chan
Junior: HAH!? Making me shut up now or what!
Junior: That shitty mentor….. He’s fucking lazing around during patrol AGAIN!
Junior: Saying it’s all ‘cuz of a hangover, hasn’t he changed at all!?
Faith: People don’t change that easily now.
Junior: I don’t give a shit!
Junior: Here I was thinking he’d quit gulping down alcohol…. Like, if we look at the reason why he started binge drinking----
Dino: Oooooi. Junior-kun, Faith-kun
Junior: Dino!?
Faith: What’s wrong? I thought you went back with Keith to the Tower
Dino: Keith went on ahead. He couldn’t fight off the sleepiness….
Dino: Thanks to this “something” I came across during patrol, I got a flash of inspiration….. Which is why I came searching for you two~
Faith: Something? Inspiration?
Dino: Tadaaaah~~♪
Junior: ? A glove and a ball….
Dino: You two got some time now, right? So let’s go play catch for a bit!
Faith & Junior: …...Catch?
----
Dino: Alrighty! I’ll throw at Junior, Junior to Faith, and Faith back at me…. that’ll be the order!
Junior: Just hold on for a sec! Why the hell are we playing catch!?
Faith: I’d like to know too. You kept saying that “it’s fine” and forcibly dragged us into it but… just, why catch?
Dino: It’s simple, I got in the mood to play with you two
Junior: Hah? What the hell
Faith: That reminds me, I had noticed there’s a glove and ball lying around somewhere in your room…. Are you a fan of it?
Dino: Yup♪ It’s simple to play which makes it fun… and you can easily move around, doesn’t that make it awesome?
Faith: “Awesome”... I wouldn’t get that excited about it, like, totally not
Faith: Playing catch during the broad daylight in a park… isn’t this more of a thing for noisy pipsqueaks?
Junior: Ngh!? The fuck, shitty DJ! This ain’t me making happy in the slightest!
Faith: Sorry but, I was referring to children. It’s not about you, no need to get this mad about it
Junior: !? Bastard, that’s absolutely NOT it! I know you’re goddamn making fun of me!
Dino: C���mon you two. Let’s play instead of fighting
Dino: Leisurely throwing a ball around in this nice weather, kicking back and taking in the calmness, and making you forget about to things to fight about
Dino: All of it makes catch about love and peace☆ …..Juuust kidding♪
Faith & Junior: ………
----
Faith: Ah, sorry. Kind of threw it in a weird direction without meaning to…..
Dino: It’s all good! And… got it♪
Dino: I feel like you two haven’t really played that much catch before?
Junior: I sometimes played with my older brother. But not since we started the band
Faith: Totally not. Don’t like playing outside and getting sweaty…..
Faith: Honestly when I entered HELIOS and Keith told us to go play it, it was the first time for me
Dino: Eh, Keith told you to do that?
Junior: Yeah. And not just catch, but video games and billiards, even trampoline, all that kinda stuff….
Junior: He always made me do whatever he half-mindedly came up with on the spot, just for his own enjoyment!
Faith: I comparatively enjoyed it though, it let us have some fun
Faith: But somewhere in the midst of all that Ochibi-chan was going on about thiiis and thaaat, and Keith was forced to come up with a training menu against his will
Dino: I see, that’s what it was….
Dino: Ahahah. The fact that Keith made you guys play catch is putting a smile on my face
Junior: Huh? For… what?
Dino: When Keith and I were rookies, we were made to play catch just like you two right now. By our mentor at the time, Jay
Dino: This kind of training that at first only looks as if you’re playing with others, is probably a similar way of acting out Jay’s methods
Junior: Eeeeh!?
Dino: Keith would act the same as Junior right now, complaining about how we’re only made to mess around
Dino: But, Jay had properly sat down to think it through….. Like for example, catch brings communication out
Junior: ? Communication?
Faith: Like how we’re conversing while we're busy playing, it has to be that, right
Dino: Oh, correct♪ Nice one, Faith-kun
Dino: You know, back when we were rookies, Brad was the one that quickly understood what Jay thought about too
Faith: ………….
Dino: And well, I’ve been going on about it so much it’s probably obvious but, I’m copying Jay’s methods just as Keith is doing
Dino: I’ve just come back and I want to communicate with you guys more, which is why I wanted to invite you two to play with me
Junior: What the, was that really it. We’re living together, this communication thing is always possible for us
Dino: You do have a point there…. Maybe it does just come down to how I wanted to play catch
Dino: Though, I’d be happy if you two will keep on accompaying me like this. Maybe next time I’ll even invite Keith♪
----
Junior: Tch, damned Keith… He drank and fell asleep in the living again
Faith: Aha, same as ever. I told you change doesn’t happen that easily. Consider thinking long-term?
Junior: You’re right
Faith: …...Mh? Did you just agree?
Junior: You heard me. Dino’s back, and whether you’ll like it or not there’ll be change one way or another
Junior: That’s why, maybe I’ll overlook it just a bit now…...
Faith: ……….
Faith: Puh….. What kind of point of view is that?
Junior: Wha-!? The hell you laughing for, Shitty DJ! S-stop it!
Faith: Yes, yes- Anyway it’s already late in the evening and you’re being a nuisance to our neighbours, if you wanna be a good boy then go to bed or else… Pffft
Junior: GHHHH----------------------!!!!!!!!

thinking more if my funny little rewrite thoughts so like. here's an entire run down of what I'd do with season 1 of my pride
under the cut cuz its long and like. warning for like. everything that already happens in the series anyway
starting first! with the naming conventions. so the whole naming scheme is appropriation of indigenous culture. and I'm white so take this one with a grain of salt but replacing that mess with instead the mother naming the cub after a trait after getting to know em would. probably fix it? Like naming a cub Power or Tenacious and. stuff
the names could not only be personality based but just general descriptors. Quick for someone fast, Golden for someone blonde, Cherished for someone especially loved by their mother. Names could also be based off something they want the child to be, like Fearless or Perceptive. naming a child after something they don't start as, but turn out to be instead would make everyone to regard the mother as an especially good one for knowing her child so well. Being wrong would have the opposite effect. Waiting too long would bring scorn, implying you don't spend enough time with your child to think of any name at all.
Prideless lions wouldn't be named by their parents at all, instead given the right to name themselves based on what they think. This leaves room for them to rename themselves as grow and change, something pride lions cant do. Until the cub names themselves, the mother will refer to them with affectionate nickname.
and I think that. fixes that issue. onto plot
I think episode 1 is fine left alone, though all three children would be left unnamed. though I think its weird how quick managed to rip off the skin all around nothing's eye but didn't actually damage it. Like at all. so she's half blind now too.
So they go on lion trial, power saying quick is unfit because he was bested by a cub, so there's no way he could've beat star fairly. sharp calls forth the currently unnamed fire to ask his opinion as a supposed witness. even though I'm pretty sure he ran away before star died? eh <3
despite having the chance to get rid of quick, he says it was fair and quick has earned the pride. whether or not that's true, fire is a devout believer in pride law and a pride without a mane would be worse than a pride lead by a cheating mane.
because nothing and quick each half blinded each other, they go with the law of equivalent exchange. one each gets something from the other. nothing asks for her and her brother's lives to spared, and quick asks that she always takes as little resources as possible
instead of like. skipping 2 years. it would instead actually like. show the childhood. how nothing is ignored by her on mother, and doted on by fire. specifically because he think she's weak. despite doting on her, he also generally ignores her opinions.
even as a little wounded baby she gets the least food and water, enforced by quick and even fire sometimes, rules are rules. some of the unnamed adults will try to cheat this tho and get her more food and water cuz Holy Shit? Dude?
when she's a little older and not. covered in open wounds. the adults more or less stop trying to protect her. she's on her own now, and they have cubs of their own to worry about anyways.
since time is also a resource she gets the least of that too, most notably the least time being trained in anything. hunting, fighting, tracking, she's taught the absolute least.
despite that, she always tries.to do the absolute most. first to volunteer for anything she could theoretically do, last to get picked for any minorly important task. getting ridiculed for doing things slower due to her limp, to the point where she starts trying to just power through the pain to walk normally. it only slows her down and she gets mocked more. fire generally doesn't stand up for her, just makes her lay down
eventually she starts getting out a bit. The younger cubs mock her, their parents don't stop them, her mom never speaks to her unless its to antagonize her, and quick is downright terrifying. despite being healed up, fire never leaves her alone and disregards her when she wants to be alone.
this is how she meets hover, who is now named insightful. bc I just inexplicably cant stand the name Hover for a lion. she thinks she's insightful, but she's kind of just snarky and a little mean without saying anything w real depth, probably bc they're all prepubescent
despite being snarky and a little mean, she's a breath of fresh air to nothing cuz she's yk. not ableist and calls fire out when he starts acting ableist. its a short interaction, and when they're home fire immediately goes to tell his mom there's not only a prideless lion in their territory, but a cub, implying her mother and possibly siblings are around. cuz he's a little bitch
nothing gets into an argument with him over it, she could've been their friend after all, and both fire and her mom yell at her for even thinking about disobeying pride law
not sure what else to do here, so skip to when they're 2 and fires about to be kicked out. they're both still nameless, bringing a lot of bad opinions power's way. she's also required to name at least fire before he leaves. so she sits down, rolls her eyes, and half asses the name fire. quick is about to push him out but nothing interrupts, saying she still needs a name.
power gets annoyed and demands what she could even be named after, her injury? her disregard for the law? her ability to butt in at the most annoying times? nothing sputters, shocked and unable to come up with a response for a moment. before she can, she's named nothing
she protests, and even fire thinks that's a lot. they're both shut down, by power and quick respectively. most of the present adults are shocked, some of the older ones even appalled. none step in though. fire has to go, and nothing leaves toward the watering holes so she doesn't cry in front of her mom. all that stupid shit is internalized though so she starts trying again to support her full weight on her leg no matter how much it hurts. thinking maybe it broke and healed so wrong that it can barely support her now. idk I'm no doctor
she ends up laying down by the water, feeling all bad and in pain. then she notices the crocodile and some other lion and yada yada saves her life. insightful immediately recognizes her and that stops nothing from chasing her off. they catch up a little until they hear someone coming. insightful runs off and farleap, now called jumper comes out of the grass.
she questions nothing, she heard something and she can definitely smell a stranger. nothing lies and said she just chased off a prideless. jumper doesn't seem convinced, but doesn't push it because the stranger is gone, at least. so she just gets her drink and nothing goes home. and that's the day.
next day we can be introduced to feather, now named light. he's the runt of his litter, the lightest color of his siblings, and the light of my life. his name has nothing to do with the reincarnation stuff, which ill get into later. he gets teased for being smaller than his sisters, but keeps up an over energetic, happy mood that children have. he prefers hanging out with nothing though, seeing as she's not gonna be mean to him for being short.
he refuses to leave her alone to the point of finding out when nothing starts sneaking out to see insightful. their little dates go all nice and cute until light jumps out of the bushes scaring the life out of them. nothing freaks out a little because holy fuck? quick's son just found her out? oh god oh fuck! insightful is just amused though, because children are funny.
they make light swear to keep it a secret, and he promises. as long as nothing lets him go with her whenever he wants, because its fun breaking the rules and being out at night. it's a little less fun third wheeling on your cousin's date when you're like 7 but its fine cuz insightful plays with him
everyone thinks its pretty weird how both nothing and light are getting exhausted in the middle of the day, and jumper is still on that "I don't believe that you chased that prideless off" stuff, and eventually convinces power of increasing like patrol or whatever, and everyone keeps their guard up, making it harder for nothing and insightful to meet
this spurs nothing to ask insightful to join, to which insightful asks her to leave the prides and go with her. nothing says she doesn't want insightful to just have to take care of her and it goes back and forth and its a whole thing. it turns into an argument and they part ways for the night before it can escalate further.
the next morning, insightful has shown up and is asking to join. mostly so she can spend more time trying to convince nothing to leave the prides with her.
they get convinced and she is stripped of her name immediately. either quick or power will rename her when they come with something suitable. of course she is. upset as all hell. she swallows it though, since she's never seen nothing so happy. light is ecstatic, also, cuz he thinks she is cool.
go through some time showing insightful being worn down by pride life, nothing still continuing to practically destroy her body to make herself palatable, and light being downright bullied because he's still smaller than his everyone his age. quick even starts looking down on his son cuz Why Is He Still So Small? light begins to resent his father, and pride life a little.
jumper is rude as hell, naturally. except this time insightful actually stands up for nothing by cuz holy shit? that's your girlfriend why wouldn't you help her?
we can also implement the homophobia rule here. because of course power is a homophobe. would you expect anything less??
and yeah that's the vibe until nothing is left with some unnamed lion to look after the children while everyone else is off doing things that are important. she goes off for a drink and light follows her because of course he does. yadda yadda fire is back for a visit cuz he thinks nothing is like. useless and can't survive without him. their little visit goes down light thinks its so cool to meet a bunch of prideless men yk yk
on their way back they run into quick, who is followed by power and insightful. that unnamed lion with the other children said nothing and light had been gone for a long time and quick is pissed off cuz that's his only son n she just took him off for a jaunt.
he's yelling at her and insightful is about to interject before she's stopped by power, and light interrupts his dad to tell him about fire's group. cuz hey it'll make him leave them alone so like? go off??
nothing gets pissed off at him though because he just sent his murderous father off to kill her brother. rude or not he's still important to her. she and power have their interaction, power whining about how much she "loves" her children, you know. except nothing disowns her. power gets called out and yk yk. its a whole thing and gives nothing some of the agency she lost over the years
then she goes off to find quick, insightful follows her to help, and light follows them because he feels bad.
quick is dead, proud is a dick, light is hidden away in this scene. it goes much the same except light is seeing his father's corpse for himself and insightful is there negotiating their lives alongside nothing. also threatening proud
they yet away with their lives and run as far away as possible just in case he comes after light. nothing may be annoyed but letting your small cousin be murdered isn't cool
so they go off to find fire. its important to nothing cuz ykkk he's her last living sibling and as far as she's concerned, her remaining immediate family. he treats her how he does cuz he loves her, right? right. right?
nothing lives on the stretch how she lived in the prides, taking as little as possible of everything. insightful starts trying to get her to eat more before she like. drops dead. but its hard bc yk internalized self hatred is a vibe. they stay hot on fire's trail, until they come across some bones, a lot of blood, and the eaten remains of tangle. I'm making that plot point more fucked up.
everyone is of course freaked out, and insightful immediately takes it on herself to make sure nothing and light have some skill in fighting cuz Oh My God! they each play to their strengths, and it's like typical training montage. I like to think that with nothing's bad leg opponents would naturally try to take advantage of her balance, and which point she could rear up on her hind legs and then unexpectedly just crash down onto her opponent with her full weight. idk I've never seen a lion fight.
so yeah they eventually find fire and light and insightful are like. not trusting him at all, they suspect him. nothing isn't so hasty with the blame, cannibalism is a lot to accuse your brother of. fire says that if he takes over the nearest pride, he can change her name due to her time as a prideless lion.
as discussed, light objects. he thinks she should be able to choose her own name. pride or not. fire the devout follower of pride law didn't like that
they kill that old man, fire demands the pride, moonstrike (now striker) denies him and he's like. "You cant do that. That's illegal" and striker claims he couldn't have beaten her mate in fair combat after getting his ass kicked the first time. plus he's got some random child that isn't his
he takes that as "kill the kid" and yk. goes after light. nothing's reaction time is normal now though and barrels into him before he can rip lights throat out. he's still gravely wounded though, so much so that insightful is fully occupied trying to keep him alive.
nothing and fire square off, fire is ableist, nothing challenges him. You know. except this time she kills him. she gets him on his back and cuts him open, guts everywhere. no Ghost scene.
Injured and horrified, she lays down. she's like. going to have a breakdown. she just killed her brother, light may be dead, these strangers won't quit staring at her, its not good. episode end.
cut to like next morning and nothing's injuries are being taken care of at the same time as light's. insightful is in there with em talking with striker. noticing she's up, striker asks her name. I'm still not sure what I'd want her to change it to but she does change it. perhaps Enough?
idk idk either way, she doesn't get the pride. she beat fire but it wasn't his to give. however, striker offers them all a place there, including light. boom season 1 end

Does anyone know who this woman is? Find out & let me know please, it connects to my life somehow. Reminds me of Liz Smuck, a Santa Rosa girl I knew when I was on Triton swim team Red Bluff California. She was nice to me & so beautiful. Flies are clustered today. My 365th entry across web today. Whatever, eh? Everybody has left. Pinterest has my record epoch “Miracle of the amERiCAN Dream” my effort with God to heal humanity. Do you care? Everything is donated so it won’t be taken away before the needy can use it to make money cuz that’s the unfortunate world we live in now: WE the PEOPLE do not count, only money does to our government & it only adds more ways to take from us all. Taxes continue to grow as WE the PEOPLE feed all immigrants, middle class carrying the burden. Think the government is looking to see how far they can go before WE the PEOPLE break? That’s the game they are playing against me right now: lies & cheap little tactics to trick me into volunteering to leave the Promised Land which God led me to, here in ᏩᏯ[Ꭶ] ᏟᎾᏌΠᎢᎡᎩ.

What they don’t know is my past…I was the primary grademan on the Chico Sewer Plant renovation years ago…You wanna know what it’s like? Flies, constant flies. You fight when outside to eat your lunch. I can deal with it. What’s sad is that it does not need to be this way at all. People don’t sort their trash right.♻️ Flies only come for food because they thrive on the garbage, even the💩poop. They are God’s answer for elimination of food wastes. You see it all connects, pests have purpose; each and every single one. Scientists know this, children know this, just ask any grammar school kid cuz they observe life. When you don’t know about all the stuff around you, you watch. But adults in their pursuit for money only learn what they need to know to make money, then stress out over it, seeking escape and spending more money on the things most heavily taxed: pot…now, alcohol, exercise equipment, fuel to visit friends & family so they can complain together. It’s all a vicious circle. That’s why that law bill (HR 1043 §1078) made such a difference to all of the world. Americans were never subjected to propaganda before and we all fell for it, hook line and sinker…I began to notice when I started searching for answers on how to heal humanity. I asked one simple question and found a highly complicated answer. “What can I do to change all the stress in the world to heal humanity while leaving my mark in history to better life for my family?” Then I asked who I was and examined myself for a while seeking an answer. Problem was, there was no good answer. I can’t change the world, only myself. And I only know my history, not truly who I am as a person. I am made up of parts, connected yet disconnected. One part talks to people, one part is a voice in my head, one part thinks and another is my physical body. Yet there is also a spiritual side and that is the greatest mystery, one which I can only partially understand. God comes at the last moment because people finally ask for God to come in their most desperate moments.

What was your favourite running gag and why? obvi piper’s established license
What was your favourite one-off throw away gag and why? it was in a few episodes but didn’t carry through nearly as consistently as piper’s license, so i’m gonna go with it: whenever one character didn’t hear something correctly or was pretending they didn’t and was like ‘what?’ and then the person who said the original thing would repeat it in the exact same way..does that make sense?? i can’t be the only person who remembers this lmao

What was your favourite Chensper moment/episode? how could you not go with dystopia i mean honestly people
If you could go back and change one element of the show, what would it be? i swear to god ray needs something stable in his life and i just wanted him to have that in the WORST way 😭 so i would’ve added in some sort of plot and character for that.
If you could say one thing to each main character in the pilot, what would it be?i would tell every male in town to listen to charlotte bolton bcuz she always right, and i’d tell the females to just keep on keepin’ on cuz they’re already perfect.
If you could say one thing to each main character in the finale, what would it be? i’m still too busy crying at kid danger’s funeral to say anything tbh
Were you satisfied with the finale? What part was your favourite and what part was your least favourite? yeah i actually was satisfied with it. we finally got the family content we wanted. my favorite part was how everyone was literally saying i love you too everyone ;u; and my least favorite wassss how we never got to see henry with his mom and dad at the end. idk. i just felt like it was missing a teeny bit.

What was your favourite part of the show and why did it initially draw you in? i’m literally a sucker for adult characters somehow finding themselves adopting a child?? and this show de👏li👏vered👏 with four while children a schwoz AND top class humor.
What was your favourite part of the fandom and why did it initially draw you in? honestly everyone is just so kind and genuinely funny and talented and i was dying for a place to get more hd content when i first got into the show.
Describe your overall emotions/feelings regarding the show being over and the show in general, looking back on it as a whole, with one quote from the show: i know @henrydangerismymiddlename did this one, but ‘i love you, buddy’ is too perfect not to use. although i was thinking ‘i’m not okay’ also.

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day Three Hundred Forty-Nine: He Walked Past ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata ] [ SasuHina ] [ Verse: A Light Amongst Shadows ] [ AO3 Link ]
Every day, without fail, Uchiha Sasuke walks to the training grounds on the outskirts of Konoha to practice the shinobi arts. He’s done so since his release from the hospital, and even before the massacre, his habitual training was intense for one his age. But as the years have passed, and his graduation date grows ever nearer, his hours at the dusty, well-worn swathes of ground have been growing.
...but he’s not the only one.
Since the loss of her title, Hinata has also called the training fields home more often than not. Her clan, of course, has several of the nicest dojos in the village, thanks entirely to their rather hefty coffers. The Hyūga want for very little, and their pride means investing in having the grandest of any comparable object.
But there’s a few reasons why Hinata prefers the training grounds of the village itself. Mostly is the privacy. No risk of being walked in on, and no feeling of being constantly watched: hard to avoid within the Hyūga compound...especially given that judgemental gazes have only increased upon her over the years since her defeat by Hanabi.
Partially, however, it’s a feeling of being...unremarkable. She’s hardly actually here alone, after all - plenty of shinobi come and go through the multitudes of training spaces day by day. But here, she isn’t just the disgraced Hyūga ex-heiress. No...she’s just another Academy student here to practice her taijutsu, maybe some bukijutsu if she feels up to it. No one’s eyes linger on her, judging and sneering. Here, she’s unnoticed. Just how she wants it.
Sasuke, on the other hand...doesn’t have that respite. Instead, it’s here, among the rest of the village’s population, that he’s the most recognized.
The last of the Uchiha.
Even Hinata can’t help timid glances when he walks by, pausing in her routine to subtly follow him with her eyes. Unlike most of the girls in their class, she isn’t as charmed by his appearance or cold exterior. She’s never really understood why they seem to romanticise it. After all, she can still remember when they first met, when the Academy began that April several years ago. He’d been a bright, if not slightly shy boy eager to learn, and full of hope for a future as a shinobi like his brother and father.
...but now, his only drive is vengeance born of a loss so monumental, Hinata doesn’t even dare pretend to comprehend it.
...why the other girls suddenly found him so alluring once he’d suffered so much...she just can’t understand.
Of course, she has her own fallacies in logic: like trailing after a boy who wants nothing to do with her. But she can’t help but find Naruto’s resistance inspiring. While she only knows bits and pieces of why he’s so alone...she also knows that - in spite of it all - he keeps his head up. And with her own challenges to face, and her own insecurities to overcome...she can’t help but idolize him.
Him. Not his losses. It’s about his perseverance, his tenacity, his refusal to let what ails him drag him down into their depths...as she’s so often felt tempted to do.
But that’s not how the girls see Sasuke. They don’t offer sympathy, or empathy. They all want something from him. Attention, affection...neither of which he seems in any way wanting to give. Their shallow vying for his time grates on her...but she’s never had the courage to say anything. Sakura, Ino...they’re popular. Loud. Assured. If they were to turn on her...well, it wouldn’t be pretty. And Hinata already has the weight of her clan’s disappointment resting on her shoulders. She’s not sure she can bear much more.
All of this goes through her head as he goes by, her stance losing its rigidity and instead just...wilting loosely, somberly. It’s all so unfair, isn’t it…?
...but what can she do? What can any of them do? Children with burdens beyond their means tied to their ankles as they try to stay afloat. Those like Ino...those like Sakura...they don’t know that weight. And though Hinata finds herself frustrated with them...she could never wish that knowing upon them.
It would be cruel.
“Oi.”
Startled from her thoughts, Hinata actually staggers back half a step, heart leaping up her throat with a gasp. Wide, pearly eyes stare openly at her addresser.
It’s...Sasuke?
“S...Sasuke-kun…?”
“You have the Byakugan, right?”
“Um...y-yes…?” Why does her reply sound more like a question? He’s never really spoken to her directly before.
“I need your help.”
Blinking, she watches him turn around and start walking, not even giving her a chance to acquiesce. Not...that she has any reason not to, but he seems to just assume she’ll help.
After a brief pause...she follows.
He leads her to a training ground several over from her own. Like her typical spot, it’s partially nestled in the treeline, hidden from most angles (and other training nin). It’s a spot with several targets set into the trees for kunai and shuriken training. “I was trying a new technique that got out of hand. Several of my knives went off-course, and I’m having trouble finding them in the underbrush. Can you see them?”
There’s a moment to take in his words. They’re so...blunt and to the point. It reminds her of her father’s speech, wasting no time and inflected with little to no emotion. “...um...I-I should be able to…” Taking a steadying breath, she lets chakra build, rushing to the pathways leading to her eyes, which swell with energy as her dōjutsu activates.
Immediately, the world is shifted into an inverted black and white, images and energies outlined and layered. Without moving her eyes in her sockets, Hinata scans the area.
There’s...actually a lot of random gear out here. Kunai, shuriken, senbon...even a sai blade lost and abandoned in the overgrowth. Hinata can’t help but blink in surprise.
“...well?”
“Um...there’s q-quite a few. I...I’m not sure which are yours? There’s...weapons everywhere…”
That gets him to frown. “...really?”
“Yes, a-all sorts. Um...I guess I’ll just...s-show you the kunai…”
“Wait.”
She pauses.
“...we can pick it all up. Someone might get hurt.”
Shock holds her in place for a long moment. He...he wants to…? But it’ll take much longer than just finding what he’s lost.
Understanding then gets her to soften.
...maybe parts of him are still the same.
“...all right.”
With Hinata’s eyes and both of their hands, they scavenge up every piece of equipment in the area, ending up with a rather impressive pile. Some has been here so long, it’s all rusted over. The pair bend over their hoard curiously before glancing to each other.
“...w-what should we do with all of this…?”
Sasuke seems to mull it over. “...dunno.” He reaches in, taking up a few senbon, having already claimed the kunai he recognized. “Is there someone we can tell about all this? People might be looking for their gear...or at least someone might be able to use most of this if no one claims it.”
“T-that’s true. Um…” Reaching into her leg pouch, Hinata withdraws a scroll gifted by one of Neji’s teammates. “We could seal it in here, and t-take it to the administration building.”
“You know about seals?”
“Just...just a little bit.” Tenten hasn’t exactly given her private lessons, given the strained relationship between the cousins. “It’ll be easier than carrying it all by hand.”
After a short while sealing up all the blades, needles, and stars, Hinata stands awkwardly for a moment. Is she...supposed to take it by herself? Or is he going to invite himself along? There isn’t much left to do but turn it in, and...surely he wants to get back to training.
“I don’t know what department to take it to…”
“M-me neither. Is there...a lost and found?”
“No idea...guess we can ask.”
‘We’. Not ‘you’, implying she won’t be going alone. Well...all right then. Scroll in hand, Hinata just...makes her way back toward the village and into the administration building. An obliging chūnin listens to their story, and he points them to a desk for missing items.
“So, this is all unsorted weaponry?”
“Y-yes. We, um...we found it all in the training grounds. Some might not be...worth anything. But we didn’t want it to injure anyone unaware.”
The attendant tucks it away after giving the scroll a label. “Good thinking, you two. We try to do sweeps for lost or forgotten supplies, but things always get missed. Guess we might have to start relying on some Hyūga to help!”
At that, Hinata goes a bit pink, bowing sheepishly as they retreat, deed done.
“Thanks for the help.”
“Y...you’re welcome. I’m glad we found them, and...all that other stuff.”
“Least the lady seemed happy about it. And no students will fall and hurt themselves on a dropped blade.”
“That, um…” Hinata pauses, seeing him glance to her. “...that was a g-good idea.”
“Just trying to think ahead.”
...an awkward silence blooms.
“W...well, you probably want to get back to training, so…”
“Not heading back?”
“It, um...it’s getting a little late. I don’t want to get in trouble.” She avoids directly mentioning her father, conscious of how it might make Sasuke feel. “I can always go back tomorrow.”
“Mm…” He hums in response before adding, “...I’ll probably see you there.”
“Y...yeah.”
“Maybe one of these days we could spar.”
“...eh?”
“Never gone up against someone who can use Jūken,” he replies, a hint of a grin on his face. “Might be...interesting.”
At that, Hinata can’t help but go a little pink. “I...I’m not the b-best at it…”
“Then consider it practice. If you want.”
She hesitates...but then nods. “...a-all right.”
“Cool. See you then, Hyūga.”
“Y...you can call me Hinata!” she calls after him, earning nothing but a wave over his shoulder.
...well, that wasn’t how she expected today to go.
.oOo.
I keep telling myself to make these a little shorter to make it a little easier...and yet I keep overshooting my word count goal xD Anyway, some canon verse stuff! Genin era (or...right before it) cuz I love writing them as kiddos. This'd probably be in my team seven!Hinata AU. I just...I'm thirsty for Sasuke and Hinata interacting in canon. Like at all. YOU LEFT ME HANGING, KISHI. ...*sighs* Anywho, I gotta get to bed, so...that's all for now - thanks for reading!

Yugioh Season Zero: Yuugi Gets a Tomagachi Pt 1
Hey you know what? Lets look at Zero again.
For those new here, I’m also going through Yugioh Season Zero, which is not the anime we got in the States, but the anime that came before it. It’s got all sorts of issues that 90′s anime tend to have, so, consider yourself warned.
You can read my recaps of just Season Zero by clicking on this link right here.
Anyway, it’s been kind of a while since I did one of these, and part of the reason is because I need to use a fandub in order to not have subs across the bottom. And that’s normally not a problem, but as you see in the corner of this next cap here, of the villain introduced this episode, this 3-Stooges-all-stuffed-into-one-body-suit-lookin guy, who has a realllllly weird tradition he does after beating people up,

We have an uhhhhh watermark situation in the bottom right hand corner. As an artist I have a hard time releasing anything with someone else’s watermark on it, but I have literally no other options, so forgive me, Team Millennium, you will probably never see this post because we’re a very smalltime blog. You can find their dubs on Youtube.
Anyway we’re here for pocket toys.

TAMAGACHIS. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve thought about Tamagachis.
(read more under the cap)
Mine are all gone now, I think I tossed them a year after I got them, the fad was pretty strong but short. Since most people got their Tomagachis second hand, (they were just impossible to buy because they were sold out everywhere), none of us had any freakin instructions so I had no idea at all how to use them and it died like 30 times. Usually several times a day.
Honestly Tamagachi’s are both the best and absolute worst child’s toy ever made.

And so Jounouchi’s going to go off about what a Tamagachi is (Tamagatchi? Eh doesn’t matter) but first lets just address the fact that...they’re in History class.
I mean....
...It had to happen eventually.
I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine.
I’m just...
...
I’m fine.
Anyway, lets dive into Tamagachi (tomagachi?) physics. I think I spelled Tamagachi incorrectly in all of these caps and hell will freeze over before I fix them all.

These kids are WAY to old to be playing with a freakin Tamagachi, but I dunno, maybe it was different in Japan? My older brothers were playing with like Gameboys and the odd hacky sack during this time period. And then my one brother who refused to play video games that weren’t Basketball related got super into rapping into a mixer table (he is half deaf, he was v bad). That was it, that was their portable digital hobbies.
They saw my Tamagachis and were like...no thanks.
Anyway, the Yugioh Tamagachis have a little twist to them that no Tamagachi on earth has ever had the power to do. Like maybe this seems like pretty low tech to the babies out there who don’t remember these things, but listen--Tomagachis barely functioned. I don’t think they were capable of basic math. That is the only explanation to me at least of how they died so freakin often.


WOW Yugioh. I mean guaranteed, I would have been suuuuper into this when I was 10-11 but also...kind of WEIRD right?
And I mean, no worries, this is Yugioh, so not even Yuugi’s Tamagachi is going to score, but it’s not like they won’t try. TBH, Yuugi’s Tamagachi dates more than Yugi. Yuugi’s Tamagachi goes on more dates than Yugi has in 3 seasons.
Anyway, Jounouchi get’s rightfully scolded out.



And Honda is still a freakin weirdo, something I tend to forget every time I tune into Season Zero, much like this girl, who I also completely forget is a main character on this cast. Hi, Miho.

Of course, Anzu does bring up a good point...
...maybe Spanish is NEXT period?
Headcanon restored.
Miho seems entirely inept at life, to the point that she cannot both attend school and occasionally sweep up the feces of her pocket pet. She was kept up apparently all hours of the night, gazing at a little one inch screen and pressing one of three buttons.

(Anzu’s face trying to understand Miho)

Like I joke that I think Miho could easily be the super villain of this show but this episode she just pumps up the bastard like 200%.

(this is how I ended up with 2 Tamagachi’s, before I burned out and got rid of the little assholes)

So Honda, so horny he can barely think, decides to take care of this pocket pet because he’s pretty sure he can hightail it out of the country with Miho on a romantic trip to Sydney. It sort of makes me kinda miss when Yugioh was vague.
Sensing awkward romantic stuff, Yuugi gets the hell out of there, because weird stuff is happening in this bathroom with his friend, Haiyama, and while most people would leave the bathroom stuff alone, Yuugi has never been able to leave anything alone. Especially if it’s gross and riddled with collusion.

He finds out that Haiyama is giving money to the giant 3 Stooges guy who’s name is Kujiwara (Kujirada) or something like that. I’m hella bad at names and I had to look it up like four times. I’ll get the names spelled wrong like so, so many times.
All in all, the small little Haiyama is divying up money to the current class bully and Yuugi feels a very strong affinity with Haiyama because of it.

Sorry I just had to imagine for a hot minute what the Kaibas would bring to a bake sale.
Anyway, like, this is off topic but also on topic, bear with me, so you know how in Evangelion, they show up to class, and they’re like “weird that we’re in the same class with all the kids who man the robots, weird.” and it’s like “why do they all go to this class if they’re living in completely different parts of the city? Like this one kid is covered head to toe in bandages and then this other kid is the son of the head of the robot illuminati and this other kid lives in like a tent a lot of the time? Like wtf is this weird ass class?” and then, basically near the end of Evangelion you get this reveal (spoilers for a 20 year old anime, look away) that everyone in the class has been hand selected to be put inside of giant robots and that is why so many of them are just screwball beyond reason.
I feel like Yuugi might have a little bit of an Evangelion problem, because we’ve got this class of like maybe...20 students, and they all come from completely different walks of life in this city, and they’re all just a bucket of disturbing psychosis’. Like it is just so crazy that Anzu got completely possessed by Shadi, but this class is filled with so many assholes that no one noticed until she started choking Yuugi to death in the medical ward.
I’m just saying, I think Yuugi’s class was hand selected by the government for scary ulterior robot illuminati motives, and if I were to write a Yugioh spinoff, it would still be Marik’s Boat Time, but in the background of Marik’s Boat Time, these dumb asshole children would be finally forced by the government to use their inner asshole powers to mitigate WWIII against the space aliens (or WW IV, since I figured by that point Kaiba’s already pulled a III just by accident)
Anyway back to little Haiyama, who’s name I cannot spell right to save my life.


This part was real funny to me because when Yuugi went through this similar problem at the beginning of the series, he turned to a toy (or what he thought was a toy) in the Millennium Puzzle. Maybe in his mind, he’s giving Haiyama a gift to help him make friends like the Puzzle did with Yuugi. Thing is, uh.....this Tamagachi isn’t cursed with darkness or anything, so nice try Yuuge, this is a sort of pointless offering. It is nice, though.
Anyway, cute little Haiyama patiently takes the Tomagachi and walks the other way, as far as he can possibly get away, from Yuugi Muto.

DAMN, HONDA. THE BALLS ON THIS MAN.
This note is a note Honda wrote on like a permission slip, and then handed to a dude in class, to hand directly to Honda’s Spanish teacher.
How many jokes have I made that Tristan is the Mom Friend? Wow.
Anyway, this version of Tristan is about as bad at life as Miho is, so he’s going to just peace out in his bedroom playing a pretttttty boring Tomagachi game.

It really takes like just nothing at all for these kids to skip school, wow.

Anyways, they come across a rival game shop storefront, so Yuugi can’t help himself but admire the competition. Surprise, it’s just a different color of Tamagachi.

Before I can contemplate on why this one podunk shop in Domino is selling the only digital pet that is the best in the whole wide world, this happens.




So...that happens. That just happens.
And then we get this weird, very spooky sort of stalker footage of Kujirada, being developed on this amazing set of old timey software, check this out. Please admire how much 1999 is in these next frames.




This episode is particularly weird, but the whole thing with the photo taking is just...it is SO weird.
And like sorry to do this to you, but we’ll go over the rest of it in the next update, cuz this episode had a lot of stuff and so I made just so many caps but...holy hell this episode went completely off the rails. Like this first half is a whole lot of weird stuff but then the next half is just...there’s absolutely no way to predict the next half from the first half of events. It just goes completely wild.
Like this episode further proves my theory that everyone in this class has no choice but to destroy all life with giant mechs. There’s no other way. All of Yuugi’s classmates are here to end the world. Him included. This mess of a class.

G1 Episode 26: Transcript
Episode Show Notes
[This can also be found on AO3!]
S: It's a Megaman rock opera and a Megaman rock opera prequel.
[ Intro Music]
O: Hello! And welcome to the Afterspark Podcast, an episode by episode recap of the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon. I'm Owls!
S: And I'm Specs!
O: And today we're gonna be talking about episode number 26: Attack of the Autobots. Let's talk about giant robots today, shall we?
S: Sure.
O: Today we open at the Ark, with the Autobots preparing something when the Decepticons attack. Prowl has a confrontation with Laserbeak.
S: Buy Prowl now, kids! He comes with a rad grappling hook accessory. You know you want it.
O: Tubular! [Laughter] Thundercracker and Skywarp shoot at Optimus and he tries to save Ratchet bridal style but the explosion throws them both face-first onto the ground.
S: No one’s having a good day here.
O: No one is having a good day here.
S: Rumble then, like, does his thing and sends Optimus and Ratchet into a crevice.
O: Elsewhere, Megatron and Starscream prepare to storm the Ark by spraying each other with invisibility spray.
S: Alright! Stuff that they'll never do anything with ever again. Does no one ever think of using these things, like, seriously? Do they ever think this stuff through?
O: We both know they don't. Soundwave is the only one capable of planning ahead and no one listens to him enough, obviously.
S: I guess, and then these two. They just walk smack-dab into the Ark.
O: The Autobots don't have any sort of scanning crap for their front door based on weight, heat signatures, something?
S: I mean, I thought they had a camera when Nightbird turns up or something. They had a camera at some point, but it looks like they just got rid of their anti-ninja floor which would have maybe helped here?
O: Possibly, but then Megatron and Starscream enter the main Teletraan-1 room and press a button, revealing two beds or recharging chambers, rather.
S: Oh, what does this tell us about the Autobots? Rather too much, I think.
O: [Laughter]
S: Megs tells Starscream to hand him the personality disrupter-
O: Oh god.
S: And then he just, like, plops the thing into the machine.
O: We’re in the Teletraan-1 room, right? Like this- this is really the plan we're going with instead of blowing it up or something?
S: Or sabotage?
O: Sabotage, yeah! I mean, I guess this is sabotage of a kind, but- but, boy in a roundabout way.
S: Everyone just wants to fuck with each other's heads, we already know that.
O: I guess. We were talking about Megatron and Starscream. It's like their MMO or their IMO- modus operandi.
S: Yes. And then these two just, you know, trot off outside and then take off. Megatron is laughing maniacally about the Autobots experiencing a “transformation” they won't expect the next time they go to sleep.
O: What is he, Freddy Krueger, now?
S: I guess?
O: [Laughter] The crossover no one asked for.
S: Well, someone might have asked for it.
O: Eh…
S: I don’t know. Back with Rumble, he's kneeling at the edge of the crevasse he created earlier wondering why he didn't hear Ratchet and Optimus hit the bottom.
O: Optimus and Ratchet come out magically flying and say, “Because we'd rather hit you!”
S: Okay.
O: It's so dumb, I can't I hate it.
S: Unfortunately, the mental image that I have of this because I don't actually remember what happens is that they’re doing side hugs as they fly out-
O: [Laughter] No, I think they both come out punching or something but I don’t remember.
S: Yes but what I’m seeing is like a side hug with punching.
O: Oh my god. [muffled laughter]
S: I’m sorry, it’s been so long.
O: It really has been awhile since we watched this.
S: And so, um, Megatron orders a retreat and the Decepticons follow suit.
O: I love that Laserbeak gets away from Prowl in like five seconds flat despite being caught by Prowl’s grapple hook thing. It really makes it seem like he was just toying with Prowl the whole time. He probably was, cuz Laserbeak is actually intelligent.
S: Yeah and distracting Prowl, or the guy who might wonder why the hell they did this seems like a smart thing to do.
O: Well, or the person who's going, “Golly, where’s Starscream and Megatron?”
S: Yeah.
O: So, yeah, go- pretty good planning, there.
S: For someone, which was probably Soundwave.
O: Or Laserbeak. I would, I think either one would be capable of this.
S: Yeah. Brawn yells that, “Soundwave didn't finish his nickel-plated knuckle sandwich,” as Soundwave flies off.
O: Say it with me kids, “Fuck Brawn.” [Laughter] Ratchet tries to chase Rumble but Rumble turns into a tape to escape his grasp. So he falls to the ground and then he turns back into a robot when Ratchet tries to pick him up off the ground and then he flies off, turning back into a tape and hopping into Soundwave’s chest.
S: And the good chunk of this is happening while Ratchet is knelt on the ground trying to pick him up in tape mode.
O: Which is just a wonderfully ridiculous sentence. Anyway, the Autobots watch the Cons fly away as the moon chills in the background.
S: And this, it honestly just looks like a magical girl anime shot for some reason.
O: Okay, I'm just like, how do you turn, like, the Transformers theme into a magical girl theme and and, uh, has that been done?
S: At this point, all that's coming to mind is, like, crossing the Transformers theme and the Sailor Moon theme.
O: I feel like Sailor Moon’s not a good fit. There's got to be a better- a better magical girl theme that's a little bit more action oriented, because you've heard- you've heard Sailor Moon, it's a love song.
S: Yeah, but the thing is I don't really watch a lot of magical girl anime, so I have a limited amount of experience.
O: Touche. I feel like Utena- crossing it with Utena would actually work better. Utena’s weird as balls, guys.
S: Yes, but I haven’t seen that yet.
O: I need to lend it to you, because it’s weird. It's, like, my kind of weird. [Laughter] Anyway, Ratchet comments that, “It's kind of weird that Megatron ran off so quickly,” but Prowl thinks that perhaps they were so quick to respond they were able to make their goal impossible to achieve.
S: Unfortunately, Prowl, you are extremely wrong here. You're so very very wrong, you're on a different continent.
O: [Laughter]
S: You're on a different planet. You're ice cold, buddy.
O: [Laughter] You can go south, you're, like, in the North Pole.
S: But Optimus just looks very squintily into the camera and says that, “Megatron always has a method to his madness.”
O: HE DOES!?!
S: Yes!
O: I think it depends on the day and the writer. Is he a moron or a genius? The world may never know!
S: How much crack is involved.
O: Also true. The next day we see the Autobots using the recharge chambers.
S: Oh, and our first victims are Ratchet and Optimus. And this honestly makes me think of- okay so the positioning of- [groans]
O: Okay, with how the beds are positioned, it looks very, very similar to- to the 50 sitcoms like, you know, the ones. Like, uh,I Love Lucy, uh, Flintstones is not a good example because they did sleep in the same bed. Just, 50’s sitcoms, yes?
S: Yeah, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, probably. Um. So basically because of, you know, morality codes or something they couldn't show couples sharing beds because- sex. You couldn't imply sex.
O: Basically, despite if they have children. I just can't get over that these are the ONLY two beds on the entire Ark.
S: It’s share and share alike here, I guess. All the minibots pile in. I don't know.
O: “Ah, nothing like a good recharge to give the old bolts some volts.”
S: Some pep in your step!
O: I really hope that's what they meant.
S: I don't want to debate the robot physiology HERE, okay.
O: Not here, not now, uh-huh. The stars! The stars are not aligned!
S: [Sighs] Optimus tells everybody to recharge after he hops out because they got some shit to do, man.
O: Teletraan-1 informs the Autobots of a rocket launch and Optimus orders everyone to the air force base because the Decepticons will obviously be trying to steal it.
S: [Sighs] It’s the only air force base in the continental United States, obviously. It's the only thing the Decepticons can pay any attention to.
O: Apparently, but this is not before his eyes turn red and he starts to sound real evil, though.
S: Yeah, everyone else appears to be bitten by the evil bug, too, as their eyes also start glowing.
O: We have confirmation that Optimus, Skyfire, Prowl, Bluestreak, Brawn, and Hound have been affected. Teletraan can apparently sense evil now as it blasts out about an evil presence being di-tected- di-tected? Detected!
S: Honestly, why couldn't Teletraan-1 tell there were evil presences there earlier with Megatron and Starscream, or any of the other damn times the base has been infiltrated because-
O: [Whispering] Who the fuck knows? Who the fuck knows? [Normally] Megatron appears to be talking to Teletraan-1 directly now and he kind of begins to monologue to it-
S: How the hell is he aware of any of this?
O: The personality thing had a camera/communication device on it or something?
S: Well, I mean, I guess Laserbeak could have planted cameras.
O: He's a good birb.
S: Yeah, either that or maybe he's there, considering that in the movie we see him, like, filming stuff.
O: That's also true, but we don't see him in there at least as far as the cartoon was concerned.
S: That's true, I mean, the Decepticons didn't even see what he was filming until after he turned up, went into Soundwave, and Soundwave showed them or...
O: True. However, for that matter, why the hell didn't they just send Ravage for all this? He- he can turn invisible!
S: He was off doing something else?
O: Getting a college degree? In what?
S: He's taking a course in oil painting.
O: I hate you, and I hate that this the obvious answer here (is because of you): he's getting a degree in Russian!
S: Because he's always a-rushing.
O: [Groans loudly] It's the only excuse I have for Beast Wars. It’s definitely your fault, though!
S: [Laughter] The camera pans out as Megatron blabs some more. Additional bot’s that are infected are: Ratchet, Sideswipe, and Trailbreaker. So we did cover it.
O: We did cover it. Megatron orders the Autobots to silence Teletraan and Optimus just punches the fuck out of it.
S: I guess that's one way to handle that, you can't turn it off. But, I mean, well maybe you can turn it off. But I mean, someone's gonna be real unhappy about that, later.
O: Possibly. Whoever the poor sod is that's gonna have to fix it.
S: Also, Optimus is probably gonna feel like a bit of a heel.
O: I imagine. Outside we see Bumblebee and Jazz returning back to base with Spike and Sparkplug.
S: Sparkplug was feeling very, very posh today so they took the Porsche.
O: Apparently, they've been updating Jazz's sound system.
S: I find it really funny that the humans have a better quality sound system than the giant robots.
O: Well, I mean, if high quality sound wasn't something they needed or wanted during war than it may make kind of a certain amount of sense.
S: That is a good point about, like, resource management.
O: I mean like, it wouldn't be highly on the list of priorities. Can we hear what they're saying? Yes? It's good enough.
S: Yeah, granted I don't know- Decepticons are the only ones who seem to use bugs or anything.
O: Also true. Otherwise it’s Bumblebee overheard it. [Laughter]
S: Yeah. Bumblebee overheard it or, possibly, Hound getting weird radio transmissions ‘cause I think that happened too.
O: Oh right, right when, uh, he jacked into Megatron's head.
S: Yeah.
O: He didn’t, but that’s really what it looks like.
S: It really is. He had a stupid little radar dish.
O: Pretty much.
S: Yeah, so Jazz stops and they proceed to test out those new speakers but Bumblebee’s just like, “I’m- I'm done, I'm going back to base.”
O: I love that Sparkplug complains about the volume as Bee’s driving off, too. Like, Sparkplug, like, you could have gone with Bee. [Laughter]
S: Yeah.
O: Uh, but Bee arrives back to base and somehow initially misses the giant hole punched into Teletraan-1.
S: He rolled a one on this passive perception.
O: And that’s a whiff! [Laughter]
S: He got distracted by something else.
O: [Laughter] Bluestreak?
S: Maybe. Because Bluestreak’s being all creepy here and trying to drag Bee back to bed.
O: I love that Bee’s reaction to this uh, because Bluestreak picks him up. He's like, “No, wait-” But he doesn't sound afraid, he just sounds confused.
S: Now’s not the time Bluestreak and I mean, this just makes me wonder whether, like, the other Autobots just like, occasionally pick up the minibots?
O: Yeah. Like, do they- do they carry them? Are they like, “We need a nightcap and someone to hug.” Bumblebee is very huggable, obviously!
S: I don't think Brawn would be especially-
O: No-
S: Brawn- or Huffer or Gears.
O: No,no, Brawn is going to sit in the robot playpen, for being mean to Perceptor.
S: Yeah, I don't think Brawn, Huffer, or Gears would be especially, uh, popular with that but who knows?
O: Huffer would just whine all night. He would not be fun. But Bee is very popular as a cuddle buddy. A cuddle bug if you will.
S: Yeeeeeaaaaaaah!
O: Yeeeeeaaaaaaah! [Laughter]
S: [Sighs] Jazz manages to get some rock and roll with real rocks with his new speakers.
O: Which Sparkplug calls an avalanche but wouldn't this be a rock slide?
S: I don't know, maybe he's got different parlance, but I think it would just be a rock slide. Who knows. Jazz and the two humans head back to base, arriving just as Bluestreak shoves Bee into one of the infected recharge chambers.
O: Bluestreak fires on Jazz but Jazz beans him in the crotch by throwing something.
S: What did he throw? Who knows. Do they need it later? Also, who knows. Bee seems fine, I guess? I guess the chamber didn't turn on or wasn't on that long enough but-
O: He's fine, he's not evil. Eh.
S: And Sparkplug is able to fix Teletraan-1, so I guess he's the one who regrets everything.
O: [Laughter] I hope he gives Optimus a good talking to later.
S: Yeah, and Teletraan-1 then displays a video of Megatron shoving the thing in the thing, so I guess Teletraan-1 knew?
O You couldn’t have said something sooner? You had all night, Teletraan. Really?
S: Teletraan-1 has just the shittiest priority's, I guess.
O: Apparently, Sparkplug asks how many other Autobots are infected and Teletraan-1 just says, “All of them.”
S: Those beds got an awful lot of use and Teletraan-1 has no excuses-
O: No-
S: For not telling anyone.
O: No, none excuses.
S: The Autobots crash through into- through into the air base.
O: Welcome to this 30 second interlude. Now back to Spike and Co.
S: Teletraan-1 warns them about the attack on the base and Bee and Spike drive off.
O: Ratchet and Hound are in the front of some building, under orders to retrieve the plans for the solar satellite. Inside we see a female scientist chatting on the phone.
S: She's literally the best human in this episode, and I have a question. Is this the first we’ve ever heard of the solar satellite or it's-
O: I think they might- I can't remember. I think they said it earlier in the episode when um, when teletraan one was like, “A solar satellite is going to be launched-”
S Oh, yeah, it’s to do with a launch or whatever.
O: Yeah because that's what they're launching.
S: Alright.
O: So I think Teletraan-1 might have mentioned it earlier when the Autobots were like, “Oh, we have to go there and protect it from Decepticons!” and then, “Oh no, we're actually evil right now.”
S: Okay, okay.
O: But she is definitely the best human in this episode.
S: She's alerted to the two Autobots attacking and then grabs the blueprints for satellite and books it. Meanwhile we cut to, um, evil Ratchet and Hound stooped over, stalking through the halls.
O: I love that, even, evil they aren’t just destroying everything, right now.
S: Even evil, Ratchet’s got a delicate touch.
O: Not too delicate, and he does smash through the wall slash door to get to the scientist.
S: I guess you do what you’ve got to do when you're-
O: Evil?
S: Evil or mind controlled or whatever. So the lady scientist, who’s name is Dr. Harding, breaks a window and then jumps out, cushioning her fall with a convenient table umbrella and then hoofing it off into the distance.
O: Cue scenes of destruction, as the Autobots are just breaking all of the shit back at the Air Force Base.
S: They have Optimus smashing things and shouting, “Destroy, destroy, destroy!”
O: Bee and Spike arrive on scene with Bumblebee trying to talk some sense into Prime but he gets punched in the face. He says, “Prime, it’s Bumblebee, I'm one of you're-”
S: I’m one of your whats?
O: What am I, anyway? Am I your son? Is that how this works?
S: Eh, who knows? Megs busts uh, into Mission Control like he's the freaking Kool-Aid man, you know, again, threatening a scientist who tries to stop the launch.
O: Then he destroys a bunch of computers and tells Soundwave to hack the main computer which looks suspiciously like the bank of computers he just had destroyed.
S: They wanted to- they wanted to save some money. Got to reuse that stuff. Soundwave’s just got this itty-bitty little Jack in his finger that lets him jack into the computer immediately and, honestly, I'm kind of entertained that somehow... the robots are compatible with human computer systems.
O: I mean, I wouldn't put it beyond Soundwave to have like purposely thought that far ahead-
S: Yeah-
O: Either but- but, yeah.
S: Going backwards compatible for something as primitive as a human computer-
O: In the 80’s.
S: -in the 80s.
O: Yeah.
S: Verses, they're giant robots from outer space.
O: I mean, when we could make the argument about their tech isn't super as advanced as you'd think considering maybe they've been stopped since the start of war but ehh?
S: Maybe, it's just they're like 4 million years old, at least. Who knows what tech they had and also they're obviously a hell of a lot more-
O: Tech savvy than- than humans, yes.
S: They should be. Umm, and then afterwards he espouses about how “The launch can't be stopped now and in two Earth hours they'll be on the rocket, on their way to Cybertron.”
O: So let me get this straight. You went into Mission Control, blasted a bunch of stuff that apparently didn't matter, then had Soundwave reprogram the thing so it'll go to Cybertron. Do they even have enough fuel for that? Do they know?
S: That's really what I was wondering too, or is there even going to be enough room for all of them on that considering that, you know, that sort of thing. It's like a rocket but most of that is just to convey this satellite into the upper atmosphere and then it just stays there.
O: I don’t even know if this is supposed to be manned. Like, if they were just launching a satellite I don't even know if there should have been room for people, period.
S: There shouldn't have been any sort of room there. Whatever room there might be is supposed to be, like, fuel tanks or rocket engines.
O: But, but yeah! A lot the rocket gets dropped off in pieces during liftoff. Do they know that?
S: I think they just don't give a shit. I don't know, they don't give a frag, cuz they're robots. I mean, I assume that they scope this stuff out but I don't know.
O: If Soundwave or the cassettes did recon they're gonna be fine. Seeker’s did it, they’re all going to die.
S: Yeah.
O: That- that's my take on it.
S: Back at the Ark, Sparkplug says a bunch of gobbledygook about a thing he made to revert the Autobots back to normal.
O: I call bullshit, sir. But we all know it's gonna work because that's how this show works, so carry on. Uh, Jazz simplifies this as a “goodness transfusion.”
S: Oh, Jazz, we love you, we do.
O: We do, you're great. Bluestreak gets back up and Jazz seems to think they've found their volunteer test subject.
S: How did they not tie this dude up while he was unconscious?
O: Good question, it's not like Jazz didn't have time while Sparkplug was fixing Teletraan-1 and making his goodness transfusor thing. What was he doing?
S: For that matter, why the hell didn’t Jazz just- just, like, sit on him or something, so they didn't have to- didn't have to tie him up. Or have anything to tie him up.
O: An even better question. [Laughter]
S: I don't know, they probably could have locked him in one of the recharge chambers or-
O: Something.
S: Jazz distracts Bluestreak while Sparkplug runs up and sticks the device on Bluestreak’s leg.
O: This works as Bluestreak’s optics change from red back to blue.
S: And he informs Jazz that- and Sparkplug about Megatron's orders to take the airbase and steal the plans for the satellite.
O: The three of them set forth to make more attitude adjusters. Apparently, they're not multi-use.
S: I have a number of questions, including why they're stealing the satellite plan but they're literally going to be stealing the satellite?
O: Megatron wants to cover all of his bases.
S: I guess? Maybe they wanted to like review if they're going to adjust the satellite or something-
O: I suppose.
S: I don’t know, or just make copies of it but if they have it they could just- I don’t know.
O: I don't know.
S: Meanwhile, Dr. Harding continues to be a fuckin badass, climbing into a dumpster to hide from Hound.
O: In heels. I’m pretty sure she’s in heels.
S: Yeah.
O: Seriously, I’m in love with this woman. Why isn’t she in the series more?
S: She and Carly would have gotten along well.
O: I would have loved to see that.
S: She, Carly, and Chip.
O: Yeah! Yeah! Science buddies!
S: Mm-hmm. So Dr. Harding’s, um, hiding attempt almost doesn't work as Hound begins picking up dumpsters and crushing them, but Jazz shows up just in the nick of time.
O: Sparkplug and Jazz are able to return Hound to normal but the doctor runs off and right into the still-evil Ratchet.
S: Jazz is a very on point today as he stops Ratchet just in time, as well.
O: Back at the Air Force base, the Autobots are continuing their rampage continuing to blow up all of the shit.
S: Yep, tired of watching this Bee jumps on a plane and tells Prime he'll have to destroy him, too.
O: And commercial break! Buy the toys, kids, Bumblebee’s gonna die!
S: And back to the show, Skyfire is in the air, blowing shit up.
O: I just feel really bad for him, he's gonna feel super bad if he remembers any of this when he wakes up.
S: Um-hm. Sparkplug, Dr. Harding, Jazz, Bluestreak, Hound, and Ratchet arrived on the scene. They're just collecting people-
O: Yeah, this is like the superhero movies where you have to go collect each superhero. I also kind of love that Dr. Harding was riding in Ratchet, who was tried to kill her a few minutes ago. Respect, madam, respect.
S: Yup, they see Skyfire and then Scarf- eaugh-
O: [Snorts] And then Scarfplug-
S: Sees Skyfire and Sparkplug wonders how they're going to get one of the devices way up on him. Hound offers to shoot it with his vertical beam gun.
O: Patent-pending.
S: They're able to shoot him once they get him to come a bit closer and then Skyfire returns to normal and then, now that he’s there, they load up and roll out.
O: Still the taxi service, buddy.
S: The scale is incredibly off here because Skyfire just looks like he's bigger than the Ark.
O: Big boy! Bee is still holding the ground against Optimus but gets lifted up in the air, just as the others arrive in Skyfire.
S: They show up just in time to interrupt the evil Autobots’ arts and crafts lesson.
O: With aircraft!
S: There's so much you can do with aircraft.
O: Obviously. Look! I can make pretty flowers.
S: Yeah. You can give yourself wings.
O: [Laughter] Look Optimus! I’m a Seeker!
S: Hound is able to shoot Prowl and Brawn with the personality things but misses Optimus. Who proceeds to chuck Bumblebee across the tarmac.
O: Prime splits into three, by way of his trailer, Roller, and himself. So, the Father, Son, and Holy Trailer? [Laughter]
S: Yeah.
O: Hound nails the trailer and Roller in short order.
S: They missed their chance to hit the three for one deal and now they have to get them all separately and, oh no! They're down to their last attitude exchanger.
O: They apparently only had time to make one extra.
S: I'm kind of amused by the fact that they acted- so the thing is, technically, I think they made three extras.
O: I guess you're right, because they missed with one, and then they had to hit two or- for the trailer.
S: that- four.
O: Yeah, they had- so they had to hit his trailer and Roller and then him. So you’re right. Technically, they made four.
S: Which, that is actually a pretty good margin of error, I think.
O: Yeah, I’ll give you that one. You're right, they were like, “Okay, we know this many are infected, presumably,” and then they made four extra and probably ran out of time, which, fair. Okay, fair.
S: So they- they made an attempt.
O: They did. I got to give Jazz and Sparkplug more credit here. And Bluestreak, I guess, he was helping, too.
S: Yeah. Bee yoinks the uh, remaining attitude adjuster out of Ratchet’s hands and books it on over to Optimus.
O: Optimus is able to fight the control for just long enough for Bee to get the attitude exchanger on him.
S: The Autobots realize they must stop the rocket launch to stop Megatron's plan and Dr. Harding says that it must go into orbit and that earth needs the energy that it'll supply.
O: Why didn’t the Cons just steal it from orbit?
S: Because they're dumbasses and we've got to have something so, you know, have drama here.
O: Do they not have object permanence? Like, “Oh, we can't see it anymore, it's not there anymore.”
S: I guess, I don't know they've made so many fucking spaceships at this point that they just have-
O: This shouldn't be a problem! [Wheezes] Hell, Starscream is apparently space worthy! They could have just- I don't know, waited a couple weeks and chucked Starscream into the atmosphere?
S: I imagine all the Seekers are space worthy. I mean, have we gotten to the episode where Shockwave just rides Starscream in-
O: No, not yet.
S: -in space.
O: No, no, not yet. But- but yeah like we have proof that, at least, Starscream is space worthy and presumably both the other Seekers are, too.
S: I don't think, shoot. What's-his-face? Astrotrain has come in yet but he's definitely space worthy.
O: Like, yeah, yeah! Fair, fair.
S: And we know Megatron’s space worthy.
O: Oh well, yeah, right! He can fly, why am I arguing with this?
S: Yes, he can fly and, I mean, we already saw him survive a planet explosion or whatever happened with that.
O: I would still- don't know how that worked but, uh, they all load up into Skyfire again, and head over to the rocket launch.
S: Megatron rips a door off the rocket and the Cons pile in and-
O: That's not gonna cause problems at all here, huh?
S: Oh, it should. I mean, it doesn't mean that it will.
O: This ship doesn't operate on reality... right.
S: It- Yeah, it ignores so many things.
O: It does. The rocket blasts off and Ratchet and Optimus bail out of Skyfire to land on it.
S: They, um, they're go- they're the go-team, apparently. Where's Wheeljack in this? I feel like Ratchet’s missing his buddy.
O: Wheeljack hasn't been in this entire episode so I have to assume he's taking the Dinobots somewhere, otherwise I'd assume they would have all been smashing stuff up, like with everybody else.
S: At this point, I just think Wheeljack, Perceptor, and Beachcomber took the Dinobots out for some enrichment and missed the whole thing.
O: I mean, probably just so they didn't have to fight the Dinobots uh, is why they're not in here but, uh, yeah, no, I agree with that. That's much nicer.
S: Yeah, they're all out doing swamp science or something.
O: See, I'm just imagining - they took the Dinobots to the beach.
S: [indistinct]
O: Beachcomber’s with them, right?
S: Yeah.
O: So, they're all on the beach. Uh, Wheeljack is there with whatever a robo pina colada is, uh, Perceptor’s taking sand samples, Beachcomber is corralling the Autobots- er, the- the Dinobots close to shore. It's a very, very heartwarming family vacation. So Ratchet could get a bit of a break, you know, not having to babysit the dinosaurs and then they come back and it's- it's like that gif where the guy walks into the room and everything's on fire. That- that is what Wheeljack came home to- and he's, like, “Probably a good thing I left although, boy, do I hate coming home.” [Laughter]
S: Yeah, yeah. Meg- Ratchet and Optimus have been trying to separate the rocket and the satellite so Optimus can take it into orbit and Megatron doesn’t like this plan.
O: Nevermind how this rocket is fucking GINORMOUS for some reason because the Cons are so! Tiny! [Laughter] Specs just keeps, like, shrugging in more exaggerated motions, I’m sorry you can’t see it.
S: Yeah. The other Autobots want to help but aren't sure how- with how to do it without hurting Optimus and Ratchet, until Jazz gets an idea, and I wonder what that idea’s gonna be.
O: He gets on the outside of Skyfire and I love Skyfire so much here, he's like, “Watch the first step, it's a doozy,” and, of course, all I can think of is, “Watch the first step, it's a dooooozy!”
S: And then Jazz transforms into car mode, so we have a car... riding a jet. Specifically, a Porsche riding a space jet.
O: I'm pretty sure that Skyfire’s, ah, model or whatever was not big enough to do that in Macross but alright. [Laughter]
S: Who knows? And about that Chekhov's gun or, in this case, Chekov’s speakers.
O: Jazz uses his new sound system to create a musical sonic boom.
S: Jazz weaponized music to take out a rocket.
O: Of course he did. Megatron orders the Cons to, “Abandon rocket!”
S: Ratchet and Optimus land safely on Skyfire who takes them high enough for Optimus to yeet the satellite into orbit.
O: [Laughter]
S: Honestly, why don't they just get Brawn to do this?
O: I- do we even see Brawn? Is Brawn here? I don't remember.
S: I don't know, it's just no- I mean, why don't they just hire out Brawn’s services to toss things into orbit?
O: [Laughter] Well, or, like, Perceptor. I know he's not in this episode but he's in the next episode as like- I could see Perceptor shooting something into space with an amazing degree of accuracy.
S: That’s true.
O: Probably would take less fuel, too.
S: Yeah. So, yeah, Optimus yeets the stupid satellite into orbit and it's just goofy as hell. Back at the Ark, Ratchet’s yanked out the personality displacer from the recharge stations.
O: This would not have fucking happened if you had more than two beds! In the entire Ark!
S: And if they weren't controlled by the same damn thing, like, if you had separate control systems.
O: Right, so you couldn't just shove the thing in Teletraan-1. But! Everyone decides to fight for credit for saving the day.
S: Ratchet has a fit of temper, as he does not want to share and begins to argue with Sparkplug,
O: “You wouldn’t know a microchip from a potato chip!” The Autobots know what potato chips are.
S: Well, Ratchet does, and presumably Spike has eaten potato chips in Bumblebee so he might have had to deal with-
O: -Crumbs.
S: [Laughter, indistinct] -crumbs!
O: “Hey, Ratchet, I need a good vacuum.” “You need a what!?!”
S: And we have a total on the number of Air Force jets destroyed by the Autobots.
O: Jazz says it's 47.
S: How much is that gonna cost the Autobots, anyway?
O: Nothing! Optimus says Ratchet, Sparkplug are gonna fix them!
S: Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy. Uhhh, I’m not sure they're gonna pass muster for safety tests and Spike says that they're gonna be doing it for weeks.
O: Weeks? Just weeks!?
S: Well, I guess when you have giant alien robots doing all the heavy lifting it's not that bad but rather they shouldn’t be putting those back together, anyway. They should really just make new ones at this point because planes have a lot of safety requirements-
O: Yeeeaaaah.
S: -and stuff. Uh, I don't think anyone's gonna want to be in those planes.
O: I wouldn't blame them and join us next time for episode 27: Microbots! Get ready for a fantastic journey, into Megatron???
S: Oh, it's into a world of imagination.
O: Like nothing you’ve ever seen. Also Perceptor! It is a Perceptor episode and I am delighted.
S: Yessss.
O: Also fuck Brawn.
S: And we have some fanfic for today but I think Owls’ gets to be the one to give the recommendations.
O: So, I've mentioned this before, but I have a whole uh, sheet of fics, just in case Specs forgets to do the fics. And Specs forgot to do the fics, so I get to do it today.
S: A lot- A lot of stuff happened recently.
O: It's been a busy month, guys, it has been so busy. I am so tired. The first recommendation is “Quiet” by LittleMissSweetgrass. Continuity is IDW, the rating is G. It is slash, because it is Cosmos/Soundwave. Our characters are Soundwave and Cosmos, and “Soundwave gets a virus and suddenly it is very loud.” It's a one shot. It is part of a series. It is very short but cute and uh, Coswave is one of my favourite ships ever, which is why they got added to this because it doesn't exist in G1 and I’m well aware it doesn't exist in G1 so I was, like, look I gotta put ‘em somewhere.
O: And then our other one is “Here Be Monsters” by Lush_Specimen. Continuity is IDW, it's G, its slash, it has Hoist/Trailcutter, Rodimus/Thunderclash, and uh, Minimus Ambus/Megatron- Our characters are Megatron, Hoist, Rodimus, Thunderclash, Riptide, and Minimus Ambus. In summary, “A late-night visit from Hoist forces Megatron to confront the overwhelming personal tragedies created by his legacy of violence. As he contemplates the long reaching consequences of his words he begins to wonder if he truly deserves a second chance.” This is multi-chapter but it has been completed. Um, it's just kind of nice. I'm always- I'm always here for ah, Lost Light Megatron actually having to think about things and being forced to consider, basically, his actions. So I really like this one.
S: Nice, thank you. And that just about wraps it up for us today. Remember to check us out on Tumblr or Pillowfort as Afterspark-Podcast for any additional information, show notes, or links we may have mentioned. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter @AftersparkPod (all one word), and various other locations by searching for, “Afterspark Podcast,” such as AO3, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and Youtube, just to name a few. Until next time, I'm Specs.
O: And I'm Owls.
S: Toodles!

Survey #205
forget picking song lyrics, i’m going the hell to bed now.
Do you live by yourself? I live with my mom. Do you like cleaning? Does anyone???? Who is your favorite character from Harry Potter? I've never watched the series; not even a single movie, actually. So I don't have an opinion. Do you watch PewDiePie? Extremely rarely. He's funny, but I'm not interested in his channel's content anymore. Do you like "Despacito?" My sister showed it to me once when she learned I'd never heard it, and I found zero appeal in it whatsoever. Do you play Pokemon Go? It's a brilliant idea, and I really do wish I could play it, but here where I live, there are like ZERO PokeStops (where you get Pokeballs), even in cities, so it's pretty much impossible. Did you ever color your hair pink? No. Do you like Dr. Phil? I don't watch the show and don't know him as a person. Do you prefer to be inside or outside? Inside. Do you eat meat? Sadly. I'm HOPEFULLY quitting when I get to the weight I want; I wasn't getting the nutrients I needed when I was vegetarian to where my body was desperately clinging to what it had or something like that (basically, my weight wouldn't budge in a couple of months), but even still, I don't know if I could do it without depriving myself again. I'm just such a picky eater. Do you need to do the dishes? Yeah. Not desperately, but. Are you scared of clowns? No. Do you have any subscribers on YouTube? *checks* A very impressive 66. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Do you salt your popcorn? Yes. Do you like McDonald's? Don't even lie to me, you'll eat there. I don't mind it at all. Do you have a Steam account? Yes. Do you like gaming? Not as much as I used to, but yes. Have you ever played Five Nights at Freddy’s? No. I don't consider jumpscares to be genuinely "scary," but rather a natural reaction to surprise, but FNAF's are intense, and I know they'd have me jumping like crazy. That aside, the games aren't of my personal appeal to actually play (though it's a fun game to watch). Do you like horror movies? Yes. Do you like chicken nuggets? I love me my chicken nuggies hunty. Have you ever tried Akinator? Yes. Can you twerk? I don't know and don't care to. Do you like dabbing? It looks stupid to me. The meme of it makes me laugh, though. What was the last country you visited? I've never left the country. Do you know your phone number? No, actually. It is incredibly difficult for me to memorize sequences, and besides, it's not like I give out my number almost ever. Do you swear in front of children? No. What’s your opinion on Brexit? Shit, I don't even remember what it's about. So obviously I can't have an opinion. It doesn't affect me, anyway. If you want children, what are some of your reasons for wanting them? N/A When you cook a dish that has beans in it, do you prefer to use canned or dry beans? I don't cook, and you'll never see me willingly eat a bean. What were some fun experiments you did in science class as a kid? The two that sharply stand out to me are dissecting an owl pellet in elementary and a frog in middle school. Both were SO cool. What was the last strong emotion you felt? Excitement. After finishing a bowl of cereal, do you drink the leftover milk? Only ever if it's Cinnamon Toast Crunch that I ate. And even then, only sometimes. Do you use dry shampoo between washes? No. What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done? Overdosing. What’s the most severe allergic reaction you’ve ever had to something? Nothing severe, besides pollen allergies flaring up. What’s your favorite sub-genre of rock? Hard. Who was the last person to get frustrated with you, and why? Mom, but she was more than frustrated. We were having a serious fight about her attitude towards Dad and his wife. What’s something that makes absolutely zero sense to you? Anti-vax shitlords. What’s your phone background? Lock screen is Darkiplier, home screen is Sara kissing my forehead. :'> Have you ever lived with someone you didn’t get along with? No. Do you have a fitness tracker? No. What types of animals have you had as pets? A billion cats, dogs, snakes, lizards, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, box turtles, hermit crabs... and probably more. How well do you understand economics? Have you ever taken an econ class? Not well at ALL. I had one my senior year. What was the last fruit you ate? I had two bites out of a watermelon 'cuz I was really hungry, but we didn't really have anything as a snack. (I fast daily, so I have to watch when my meals are.) I'm not a big watermelon fan, but I hadn't tried these cubes before, and at least it was something. Can you remember your first day of school? I believe I can very faintly... very faintly. I think I had a complete breakdown because of my insane separation anxiety regarding my mom, or it was the complete opposite... alskdfjaweiajr it's like I can kinda see it in the back of my head, but it's super blurry. What’s your favorite movie? The Lion King. It was my favorite as a kid and became so again as an adult just truly acknowledging how damn good and meaningful it is. Plus the soundtrack was a banger. Would you rather jump out of an airplane or go scuba diving? Scuba diving. Do you get bored looking at other peoples’ holiday pictures? Eh. If it's a whole lot, yes, but as a photographer, I enjoy noting which ones I like and why I favor them. Do you give money to charity? Not currently, no. I have no money to give. When I do have a paying job, I plan on definitely donating any time Mark does a charity stream. Are you more into music or movies? Music, easily. When was the last time you went to a swimming pool? WOW. It's been years. Either when I still lived in the apartment or once at Colleen's in-laws', I can't remember which was last. Would you rather have a pet snake or a pet turtle? I have a snake, and I'll take another for sure. Have you ever seen a band live? Who was the last you saw? Just Alice Cooper. Ma and I are seeing Ozzy next year (if the poor man ain't dead), tho!!!! And he's gonna be with Judas Priest and Megadeth. We are NOT going to survive. Do people who use massive amounts of emoticons annoy you? Yes. Emojis, more specifically. If you're writing a sentence and you use an emoji after each and every goddamn word, it drives me up a wall. What was the last clothing item you bought? Underwear, I believe? Or a bra? What does your washing powder smell like? Idk. Normal? Do you have a dishwasher or do you do dishes by hand? By hand, which I cannot explain how much I loathe. It feels disgusting. Are there any cobwebs in your room? I don't believe so, no. Have you ever used a pick-up line and had it work? Ew, I'd never use one to begin with. Have you ever entered a modelling competition? Would you? No to both. The current modelling industry is so, so harmful. Did you keep any drawings/stories from when you were younger? Like around two years ago, I remember going on a mass destruction episode of those super old things, as they embarrassed me horribly, even though I know it had no real reason. Just everything I create embarrasses me. My mom has old school stuff, though. Who did you last have an argument with? Mom today. When was the last time you cooked for yourself? If you include putting things in the microwave with few steps... not that long ago. Maybe two days back. Do you have a safe? Mom does. When was the last time you saw a relative? Mooonths ago when Grammy and her husband were driving through. My brother and his son are visiting real soon, though!! Do you shout out the answers at quiz shows? Yes, lol. Have you ever been in a TV audience? I've been to like three-four hockey games, so yeah. Have you ever entered the lottery? Won anything? No. Well, Mom or Dad would rarely get those scratch-off tickets at random, but the most we've ever got was just like five bucks or so. Do you prefer crosswords or word searches? Word searches. Have you ever drawn on a wall in your house? No. Do you like making collages? No. Have you ever kept a scrapbook? Yeah. What’s your favorite video-game? Silent Hill 2 and Shadow of the Colossus. Sigh, I want a PS4 SO bad to get the SotC remaster. I actually teared up when I saw the opening cutscene for the first time, and I just marveled through the EEEEEEENNNNtire playthrough I watched. It's unbelievable. Do you remember any inside jokes from childhood? Not off the top of my head. I'm tired, don't make me think. Have you ever made up a word? Well, as a writer, I've made up names and places. A word itself, I don't think so. Do you get nervous speaking to people you don’t know on the phone? VERY!!!!!!!! Are you scared of anything irrational? You mean like, half my fears? Do you have a passport? What’s the picture like? No. Have you ever had a full fringe? (bangs) As a kid I did. Is there anything you would never admit to liking? Don't think so. What’s the weirdest craze you can remember? Fidget spinners. Do you use bug spray or fly swatters? Fly swatters. Then we also have this hanging cylindrical sticky... thing that flies and gnats are apparently attracted to with the smell, I guess. Works like magic, though I agree it's pretty cruel. Just stuck there until you die. Are you a clumsy person? Boy, am I. Do you have tiled floors in your house? In three rooms. Do you listen to any movie soundtracks regularly? No. Do you bruise easily? Way too easily. Like normally something simple won't leave behind an obvious one, but even a normal poke in the arm hurts a lot and leaves the spot sore for a good while. I was tested for anemia, but apparently, I don't have it. What would you love to learn to do? Play the electric guitar. Do you prefer monkeys or lemurs? Ehhh... lemurs as far as cute goes, monkeys overall. Do you watch movies based on the actors or the movie plot? The plot. Do you have any phone charms on your mobile? No. What is your opinion on sex without emotional commitment? That's a big 'ole honkin' nope. Last time you puked from drinking? Never. Have you ever gotten drunk and danced on a bar? No. What is your favorite simple ice-cream flavor? Vanilla. Though sometimes I prefer chocolate. Do you pay attention to calories on the back of packages? Only for dinner. I forgot the science behind it, but one of my meds for bipolarity only works to its full effect after ingesting at least 350 calories; I only get about a 20% effectiveness of the medicine when eating less. I know it sounds weird, but my psychiatrist is a goddamn genius, and I trust every word that comes out of his mouth. When was the last time you slept on the floor? Two years ago when I was living with Colleen and I didn't have a blow-up mattress yet. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos? When???????????????? do I?????????????? not???????????????????????????????????? Do you wear flip-flops? That's pretty much all I wear just about year-round... I remember in 7th grade, one of my teachers asked me about it a lot and I just told her I didn't mind the cold, which was true. Pretty sure she thought I was lying and was too poor to buy new clothes or something, as she gifted me socks one day, which I thought was incredibly sweet. I miss my 7th grade teachers. Best school year. Who was the last person to kiss you on the cheek? Pretty sure my niece Aubree when saying bye. What is your favorite sauce to eat with spaghetti? Normal Prego sauce, I think. Have you ever seen a magic show? A little one as a kid. When was the last time you vomited and why? Months and months ago when I was testing a medication. Quit that shit real fast, as it made me sick so many times. Where do you usually sit when you eat dinner? Uhhh I eat in my bed usually, lmao. We almost never sit at the table. I normally do if Mom's there, though. How often do you get headaches? Ugh, often. Why did you call the last person you called? I was calling back about my job application that I was supposed to hear about yesterday. How many windows are in the room you’re in? Two. Do you have Facebook friends that you’ve never actually met? Yes. When was the last time you had your photo taken professionally? Not since senior pictures, pretty sure. I hated how it came out. I have a lazy eye when I smile, gah. How long does it take you to get to school or work? Currently N/A. Let’s say you had a baby with the last person you kissed? We're both female, so. And neither of us want kids anyway. When was the last time you completely broke down? A couple weeks ago in a totally random and severe panic attack. Do you have someone you can spill your heart out to? Yeah. Is there a person that you would do absolutely anything and everything for? No. I'm not gonna, say, murder someone just because they want me to. What’s something you really want right now? To go and get my tattoo cleaned up by a more professional artist alsdkjfalwei. I got the approximate cost, I just have to wait until I can afford it. This tattoo is so so so important to me and it needs to be perfect. What is your relationship status? Taken. What was the longest time you’ve wasted on a certain person? Not even two weeks lmao. I said yes to dating mostly out of fear of hurting his feelings, and he QUICKLY proved he was NOT for me. Are you listening to music right now? Yeah, my iTunes is on shuffle. Anyone you would like to get things straight with? I wouldn't want to be friends I don't think, but I REALLY want to see Jason one final time to tell him how sorry I am. I recently acknowledged just how fucked up I treated him after the breakup; he wasn't the only one who made mistakes. I sure as hell did. He deserves to hear it badly. I do believe our last talk was a good ending, but I feel me finally admitting that I fucked up would be the perfect one. What was the best thing that happened to you today? Seeing Dad for his birthday. When was the last time you did something for the first time? I talk-talked to some WoW friends a couple days ago, though very very briefly.

I should dust and vacuum, but the latter doesn't currently work. List all the countries you’ve visited. I've never left America. At what age would you allow your kids to dye their hair?

Wendy's or Sonic. When was the last time you weren’t lonely? Jesus fucking Christ, who knows. What kind of movies do you like? Horror, fantasy, Disney/kids' films, comedies, rom coms, and emotionally moving ones. Bats are not spooky or are they? They're adorable, omg. Do you think blue is a gay color? Fuck off. What's your opinion on gays? Fuck off harder. Do you like the song "Womanizer"? Don't even talk to me if you don't. Where is your favorite place to get fries? You can't live your fullest life without having Bojangle's fries at least once. Do you know anyone who was raised by their grandparents? Idk. Have you ever made your own pie from scratch? No. Who was the last person you had an in-depth conversation with? Sara. What was the last fast food item you ate? A hot dog. What is your favorite gaming console?

My niece and nephew being born. Meeting Sara. Getting Teddy. First time hanging out at Jason's. 16th birthday. Alice Cooper concert. Putting Dale and Cali down. There's a lot. What was the last thing you took a picture of? Some crazy shit on FB to show Sara. Something you're looking forward to? Getting a goddamn job. What is God teaching you right now? Lul. What does Notre Dame Cathedral mean to you, and how has its fire affected you? I was devastated to hear about it; it was the one event that actually got me paying attention to the news. It is a monument of incredible art and history, and for Catholics, a house of their god. I am so thankful the damage wasn't too tremendous. What’s the last dumb decision you made that you beat yourself up over? I dunno. Surprisingly. What’s your favorite version of the Bible to read? N/A If applicable, do you underline verses in your Bible? N/A When was the last time you went to church? Not since Colleen had her extreme Christian phase two years ago. What’s the last song you listened to on repeat? "Radio" by Rammstein. That new album's gonna be bangin'. Does your town’s hospital have a good reputation? NOPE. It sure does not. I have no issue with the psychiatric care unit there, though. Every time I went to the ER for suicidal thoughts or the attempt, they were sweethearts to me.

What is your hometown known for? Crime. Are you longing for and missing a toxic person? I honestly miss Colleen sometimes, but I can't go back to her. I can't.

Do you live near the woods? Yeah, there's woods across the road. What do you want to be for Halloween this year? List 1-3 ideas. I wanna be the dumb blonde witch from Hocus Pocus, lmao. A pastel vampire would be pretty cool. And Rhett from the "Sleep Tight" video has instilled in me the great desire to be a steampunk toothfairy at least once. List five things people have been jealous of you for. Idk. List five things you have felt jealous of other people for. More than anyone, a friend of many friends' photography success when I can genuinely and modestly say I really think I'm better than her. That is easily the worst envy situation I've dealt with (and still do), as this is the one that is actually almost spiteful, wrong as that is. Then I have another friend who is a FANTASTIC photographer as well and is now a professional one in the fashion industry, I believe. Then there was a girl I went to school with called Cailin whose drawing skills were naturally INCREDIBLE since elementary school, and I remember back then, me and her would always get the most attention for our work, but she did moreso, but I wanted to be the "best" artist. Once I hit high school I just had great respect for her talent. Next, one of my former best friends Hannia was a natural GENIUS that got perfect scores on LITERALLY almost anything; she had the highest GPA in the entire school, while I was right behind her. And uhhhh five... I have been and still am jealous of my sisters for being proper, successful adults. What is your favorite shade of brown? Like a caramel tone, I guess? What color is your toilet seat? White. Would you rather live in an apartment or a house? Definitely a house. What’s one thing you had growing up that you miss now? Energy. Do you prefer kale, lettuce, or spinach? Lettuce. Do you listen to instrumental bands such as Hammock, Trentemoller, etc.? No. Have you ever gotten a manicure or pedicure? Just because my sisters went and Mom wanted me to hang out with them. I may have with my old friend, too. Have you ever self-harmed? Yeah. Never the answer. Do you have any eating disorders? No. I'm afraid of developing one once I (hopefully) get to the weight I want, though. Have you ever met a celebrity? No. Do you like Monster Energy or do you prefer other energy drinks? I hate energy drinks. They taste like poison. Do you plan on getting married? Yeah. Do you want kids? That's a big fat nope. What’s your sexual orientation? I don’t judge. Bisexual. At what time of day do you normally feel the best? The morning. Name one reason why someone should not commit suicide. YOU. CAN. GET. BETTER. Seek professional help if you feel suicidal, and after what I understand is a serious struggle, you truly can go into the light at the end of the tunnel. You've got, to our understanding, one shot at this. Don't end it when there is a possibility for a beautiful future. If you’re unhappy, what would it take to make you fulfilled? Have a job and be in school. Name someone you know who is a cancer survivor. My mom. Are you friends with any cancer survivors? I don't think so. Do you wish the sunrise and sunset lasted longer? Hm. Sunset, maybe. Idk. Name a country whose history you know nothing about. Lmao most. What is your favorite store at the mall? Hot Topic. Do you have a bed or do you sleep on a mattress on the floor? I have a bed. When was the last time you went for a run? Shit, not since high school gym. Do you keep Christmas lights up year-round? No. What did you win a scholarship for? Nowhere. What type of bug do you see the most often in your home? Flies. Do you put off things until the last minute? I tend to. Is your mom the same size as you? No, I'm smaller. Do you know any Christians who aren’t judgmental? No shit. Do you still think of that Gwen Stefani song when you spell bananas? Ha ha yup. Do you like the way your hair naturally is, or do you change it? It's fine. But I want it dyed badly. Do you know anyone who died accidentally by doing something stupid? Yes. How many different languages have you taken in school? Latin and German. How tall is your father? (Estimate?) Idk. Over six feet. Would you meet Miley Cyrus if you had the chance? No. What is your favorite slow song? Oh yeesh. Idk. Maybe "See You On The Other Side" by Ozzy. Do you believe in karma? No. Do you constantly check your cell phone? No. Only Sara or Mom ever text me, and I pick it up just if the green light is blinking (means I have a message). If there were aliens on earth, would you be afraid? Well yeah. If you could spend 1 hour 20 years in the future, would you? Yes. I want to see where I am, so long as I can change my behavior to improve that future if needed. Otherwise, I don't wanna know. Are your pets asleep? Teddy probably is, Bentley might be, idk where Roman is, but he likely is, I can't see Mitsu from where I am currently, Venus may be (no eyelids, so you never know) as she's in her rock, and Kaiju is awake. Have you ever wished you were an only child? Never. Have you ever hurt someone on purpose? Yes. Have you ever gotten hurt while sledding? No. Do you enjoy going through old pictures? It depends on the subject of them and my mental state. Kid pictures I'm always up for, high school ones are okay, though they can make me really upset with how healthy and skinny I was, and I deleted all photos I had on Facebook of Jason and me last year so I couldn't even risk looking at them ever again, as there's a good chance some would trigger my PTSD. Of all your exes, who do you think you had the deepest feelings for? Jason, obviously. Do you tend to have a lot of drama in your life? I have the most uneventful, bland life. No. When’s the last time someone was disappointed in you? Idk. What song are you listening to right now? Is this one of your favorite songs? "Alone I Break" by Korn. No, but I love it. What is something you have to explain a lot? My sweating issue. Gross to talk about, but I sweat seriously excessively, like you would not believe. It can be 70 degrees and I'll be sweating in seconds. People worry about it, and in VR, I've had to explain it so many times due to it affecting suitable jobs (I think we can all agree being drenched in sweat at work looks extremely bad). Hopefully I won't have to anymore when my doctor decides what to do about it. It's most likely a thyroid issue, which I have no clue about how to subdue symptoms of. There's really a shitload I have to explain lately between doctors and VR... Which compliment do you receive the most? From those that know me/see me, that I'm losing weight. From people in general, "I love your hair" or something like that. Who were you last on the phone with? My sister. What is one thing you have always wondered? Uh. Idk. I'm sure there's a lot, just nothing's coming to me atm... What do your friends think about the music you listen to? Your family? My friends and I like similar stuff, as do my parents, especially Mom. My sisters are the total opposite of me and don't enjoy metal and the like at all. Has anyone ever told you to grow up? Essentially. Do you believe people when they say they don’t judge people? Hell no. How many true friends do you have? Excluding family and my girlfriend as they're more than that, like... one or two, it feels like most of the time. Can you honestly say you’re happy right now? No. What is something you are exceptionally bad at? Doing math in my head or spelling up there. AND READING LIPS. Do you have a house phone? No. Who do you love more than anyone right now? Don't make me choose between Mom and Sara. How much money do you have saved up? I literally have $11. Do you like bright/neon colors? Yes, but I prefer pastel. What is your favorite wild animal? Meerkats. Do you ever eat breakfast? I almost always do. Do you remember who your first grade teacher was? Yes. Have you ever won any trophies? What for? Yeah, for A honor roll all through elementary school (save for 5th grade; I got one B and was so upset, lmao), then in all kid sports I played, everyone got lil ones, some from dance I believe, and I think there's one or two others I'm not thinking of...

- November 25th 2018 -
Can you name a uniquely named crayon in the Crayola 64 pack? I haven't used Crayola crayons in probably over 15 years, but for some reason I still remember the medium-blue color that was called “cornflower."
What kind of car did your parents have while you were growing up? They got new cars every few years. I remember them having a Saab sedan, a Chrystler minivan, a Honda Odyssey, followed by a newer Honda Odyssey... and my dad always had a company car from his workplace.
Do you tie your socks together or roll them up? Neither. I fold them.
When's the last time you had peanut butter? I don't remember.
What was your last bad date? I've never been on a bad date... because my husband is the only person I've ever been on a date with.
Do you ever wish your birthday was on a different day? I wish it wasn't only a week and a half after Christmas.
What holiday would you want to have your birthday on? It's already too close to a holiday... I wouldn't want my birthday to be on the same day as a holiday.
Have you ever gone snorkeling or scuba diving? Yes, both.
If yes, what's the coolest thing you've seen? Tons of beautiful fish, many of which swam right up to us.
Do you sunburn easily? Ohhh yes. Very easily.
What's your favorite filling in chocolates? Caramel.
When's the last time you had a smore? A few years ago, as far as I can remember.
Have you read the Twilight series? Nope.
Does your best friend have any phobias? No.
What's the last thing you said to your mom? A bunch of stuff. We were on the phone for about an hour yesterday evening.
Why couldn't you go to sleep the last time you were up all night? I was having bad muscle cramps that made it hard to sleep, and I had taken too long of a nap so I wasn't super tired to begin with.
What breed of dog do you find the most annoying? Chihuahuas, or any other tiny and yappy breed.
Do you prefer the taste of lemon or limes? I like them both about the same.
What do you think about Sarah Palin running for president in 2012? It's 2018 now... and she never did actually run for president in 2012... but either way, I think she's a moron.
What would you name your first born son? I don't want children.
Do you cook anything you don't like eating? Very rarely. I made my husband homemade macaroni and cheese a few years ago, even though I personally don't like it.
What's the last picture you colored? I don't know. I haven't colored a picture in many years.
Do you make out sentences out of the little Vday candy hearts? No.
What is the cheesiest way a guy could propose marriage? Eh, I don't know. Maybe by doing something overly-dramatic, or making it super public to try and show off or something. I've always gotten a bit of an attention-seeker vibe from people who plan their proposal to be in a time/place where it'll be seen by a ton of people. I like how my husband proposed - just the two of us, at home.
Do you watch any reality shows on MTV or VH1? Nope.
Would you have a better chance of surviving in the Sahara or Alaska? Alaska, definitely. I know some survival skills that would be useful in that climate, but I know nothing about deserts, and I've only been to a desert once in my life.
When's the last time you pet a cat? About 5-6 years ago. Before I discovered I have a mild allergy to cats.
Were you missing your front teeth as a child? Of course... every child has their front teeth missing at some point, as they lose their baby teeth...
Do you remember Eureka's Castle on Nick JR? I looked it up since I wasn't sure what it was, and even though I was a pre-schooler when that show was on in the early 90's, I still have no recollection of ever watching it. Granted, I didn't watch much TV at that age anyways.
What's the last song you hummed to cuz you didn't know the lyrics? One of those old Gaelic folk songs I've had stuck in my head for a few days. I don't know the lyrics since I don't speak Gaelic.
What would you say is Paris Hilton's occupation? Model or actress, I guess?
If you could have a body like any celebrity's, who would it be? I have no idea.
If you could have any celebrity's baby, who would it be? Big fat NOPE to this whole question. I don't want children, and the only person I'd ever have sex with is my husband.
Do you know anyone whose name starts with Sh? I went to school with a few Shannons, a Shana, and a Shawn.
What's the worst Christmas present you've ever received? I'm not sure.
Are you wearing a necklace? No.
Do you have any noticeable moles or birthmarks? Yes, moles.
Is there a salon you religiously go to for beauty care? No. I've given up on going to salons. Even when I would show pictures of the haircut I want, they'd still fuck it up. They never layer it enough and I'm convinced that the average stylist has no idea how to handle very thick hair.
Count to ten in another language. Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix.
Do you feel uncomfortable telling friends they have boogers in their nose? I guess it would depend on the friend.
What do you remember from sex ed class when you were younger? I don't really have any specific memories of it. Sex ed wasn't just one separate class, it was a section of every health class from grades 5-9. Starting with learning about puberty and “where babies come from” in 5th grade, to more in-depth stuff at the higher grades like STDs and birth control.
What's the first instrument you ever played? Piano.
Are you a mommy's child or daddy's child? I was more of a daddy's girl when I was little, like pre-school aged, and more of a mommy's girl when I was school-aged.
What's the last thing you wore around your neck? I think it was binoculars on a strap, back when my husband and I went on a birdwatching hike a few weeks ago.
Would you ever eat rhino meat? Never.
Who do you think deserves an award? No one specific comes to mind right now.
Have you ever had a friend break up with a bf/gf for you? Nope.
Do you own any books with a red cover? I'm looking at the books on the shelf on the console table in here, and I don't see any red ones. I can't think of any red ones on the bookshelves upstairs, either.

So like what is the point?
(see above) Like for this the entire sections after the beginning section ended and where the ending started, like was there any point? O_o Because it didn’t seem like it to me. Could have easily just said. “No why should it? You have your own ideas and thoughts. Just have fun with the things you like. No one had any right to tell you that you liking fan ideas is wrong. A lot of people like seeing what their creations inspire others to do. So just have fun, find people who like the same things and try not to worry too much about it. Sound good?”
Umm Lily who cares if someone finds Josh more attractive than you? Why should you care? You have a girlfriend right? Why not respond. “Eh whatever. I already got someone so I’m not in the market anyhow. Also everyone has their own things they are attractive to. I don’t expect people to all find me attractive. *shrug*. He’s not my taste anyhow.” Like you know a civilize person..... -.-
All I can say is, Lily only you would suggest this -.- Like seriously? Next thing you’ll suggest is a massive comment deletion just being like “clearing out weeds” ....
For the Anon saying to leave Ink Rose alone.... Lily how paranoid are you!? O_O You realize there are more people in the world that dislike you than InkRose, SegaSister, Eliora (?), ThoughtBubblePony (Brittany), Josh (?), and other people from the mlp fandom right? I mean I can name quite a few people who REALLY dislike you. How are you so sure it was Ink Rose? O_O Like what bubble do you live in?
For the politics one.... Lily please tell me you are joking -.- Totalitarian = a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state
Socialism: depends the country if it can work honestly. It’s really hard to implement in larger countries....
Umm no Lily you are the one providing all of this salt...
Seriously what proof of homophobia? I don’t want people shipping me with a girl but that doesn’t make me homophobic! Hell any of my female OCs with girls. I honestly am not all that into girl x girl. Some of it is really cute Sailor Uranus x Sailor Neptune, Kureha x Ginko, Chiho x Uzume (it’s very pure even with age difference), not official but heavily implied Mimori Togo x Yuna Yuuki.
Honestly he doesn’t necessarily have to fly out there. Also Lily wouldn’t he need your address for him to mail it to you? Or a business email? Oh wait you don’t have those -.-
Why do you guys post these comments on Lily’s tumblr instead of Josh’s you know so he can see them? Lily blocked him so he can’t go on her tumblr unless he makes another account....
One.... seriously like you have any room to talk with “Reals over Feels” you’re acting like a child Lily....
Really? Because from what I understood Lizzy found out about you because you put her on your “Good Stuff” thing and they you two eventually hooked up. Since when did Josh enter the equation -.-
Ummm anon seriously? And Lily WTF is wrong with you! He is NOT endorsing a freaking pedophile you asshat!
Hideki-Nishi seriously? I seriously can’t tell if you are a fan of both Lily and Josh or what. Also what was the point of your comment? No seriously what was it? Cuz it seems like something you should say to JOSH not LILY. Alaso Lily could we get screenshots? Because you know you have your subscriber count unlisted for crying out loud. You say you lost 2,000 subscribers, how would that be Josh’s fault? Wouldn’t that be your fault for not engaging your viewers or explaining your side of the story appropriately? You can’t blame Josh for you loosing subscribers unless you have proof that he like deleted subs from you o_O
Why should he be embarrassed for finally standing up to the woman who bullied and harassed him and possibly emotionally abused him?
Also backfiring? Explain....
.... Okay yes he should have gotten someone who knows law to help him. But seriously Lily. We can find archives and archives of your harassment from over the years. Also what do you have better to do? I know Josh has school but don’t you have a full time job? Oh wait YouTube is your full time job.... if it’s not then what IS your job exactly? -___-
Umm are you saying watching a brain dead puppy pee itself is funny? or sad? because honestly it’s hard to tell with you. Also if you felt any pity for Josh why not just leave him alone instead of continuing this stupid crusade at mudslinging Josh?
Anon did you ever think he just doesn’t know a lawyer? Or rather one that is good enough to help him with cyberstalking/bulllying/harassment who would be willing to do this as a international affair because it is USA vs Canada? Laws differ between countries you know. -.-
Of recent videos... honestly who would look there? -.- No seriously who would look there if you never use to do it Miss Lily Orchard. I sure as heck wouldn’t think about looking there...
Found it after she wrote:
Wanna send me fanart, undying pledges of worship or ransom notes? Send it here - [email protected]
Really I would like to give Lizzy the benefit of the doubt anyhow because she’s obviously being manipulated into believing her darling is innocent. (Wow it’s almost like how Toon manipulated his friends into thinking he was innocent. But Lily is obviously too kind and nice to do that *there is some sarcasm here somewhere*) But seriously Lizzy doesn’t sound kind. She is coming off as condescending . This is what an overly religious person does to make themselves seem faultless. No joke.
Lily did you ever go to college -.- ? No? Then you’d know it’s a C- and also in order to practice law here in the states you have to pass a state certification exam. Oh wait you’re from Canada! I don’t know how law school works there please tell me the certification standards? -.-
*slow clap* Wow Lily look at you talking about yourself and trying to make it seem like Josh is the one who lives in an Echo Chamber. Where are your criticisms then hmm? You delete them that’s right! So you can never be wrong! Wow it’s almost like you’re the one runinng a smear campaign with the endless amounts of Community posts that are essentially telling your loyal cult followers to “Go spam his comments sections with dislikes and slander”
Umm anon how is he dragging the victims in? This is his personal statement saying “Lily I’ve have enough of this. I’ve ignored this for too long. YOU NEED TO STOP!” It has nothing to do with the victims. =__=
Okay last one. Seriously Lily? A non-profit organization where people can learn about sexual predators that works with the Centers for Missing and Exploited Children is sketchy.... WTF Well do you know of a better one? No? Umm then can you talk? Also a quick google search like that’s legitimate! That wouldn’t even hold up in class in a college/university as sufficient evidence. Seriously girl who put bleach in your brain
And to this Anon... what message of them still needing Toon? Prerecorded videos, that would be very difficult to either voice over, text to chat, or cut out? Having him out of all their newer projects? having older videos still up because of story and possibly to review his behavior so they can spot manipulative people like Toon? Also besides pedophilia he had a lot of other issues which none of you guys and girls seem to remember right away: sexual harassment, black mailing, emotional manipulation, harassment, etc. don’t forget about all of these too!
@lily-peet you think Josh’s fans are crazy? Look at your own. They say more bull than anyone I have ever seen. I question their moral intelligence, and I question your emotional intelligence too.
#screenshots#of#lily#lily orchard#lily-peet#the moron is still around#josh needs a break#Lily aren't you the lazy one#I dont think having victims have to pay to get on your discord as charitable#seriously you have to pay 1 dollar on patreon to be part of her discord#have to pay higher to be part of specific groups too#last time I checked charity meant you do it without expecting compensation#cant exactly say you are a saint for helping these victims if they have to pay you#last I checked I can pay for an actual therapist who actually would have to care about me

Prompt: Winter and Qrow have a super-hot-chili-eating contest. Winter, meanwhile, is comically bad with spicy food.
A/N: So uh… I kinda did my own thing…?
Thai Yang’s
“You said that your brother-in-law runs this place?”
It was almost a hole in the wall, Winter concluded. It was located in one of the odd corners of Patch, which certainly said something since patch was already a bit of an odd corner on the world map. But Qrow had wanted to take her here both for a meal as well as to see a bit of the rest of the family. What kept it from such a classification was that the decorations and atmosphere screamed of posh and polish.
“Yeah, close enough you could say,” Qrow scratched the back of his head. “I mentioned that I wanted to meet him off hours so he wouldn’t feel rushed, but he insisted so here we are.” He took her hand and looked into her eyes. “You ready to go in?”
“… Let’s go then.”
As they walked forward and opened the door, a small bell rang and a tall man with short curly hair popped up from the kitchen view.
“Qrow, you made it!”
She could hear the smirk on his lips as he spoke. “Yeah, and I would have gotten here sooner if you weren’t placed in some sort of backwater town.”
“Yeah, yeah, can it.” The head disappeared before walking out a side door, presenting himself in a white apron and wiping his hands on a damp towel. She could feel his blue eyes sizing her up, looking over the rest of her body not in a way that seemed hungry but rather-
“Taiyang Xiao Long. Nice to finally meet the lady that’s caught my friend’s fancy.”
Like he was scanning her.
She decided to use her full name. That was the point of it all, wasn’t it? “Winter Schnee.” And besides, the place was almost empty - the lunch rush had long passed, after all.
“Come in, take a seat. I’ll get some soup started.”
With that, Taiyang disappeared into the kitchen and the noises of cooking began to fill the air.
“So. Thai food.” Winter began, taking a seat in a small booth deep in the corner of the restaurant.
“Yeah,” he grunted as he slid next to her. “Mexican would be too obvious.”
“Thai food, Qrow.”
“Eh, he likes the stuff, so why not let? Less apparent than your family’s ‘German’ restaurant, anyway.”
Another person left the side door to approach them, and while the white apron was still in place, she was just a tiny bit short with dark brown hair. “Hello! I’m Summer.” A hand shot out to greet Winter, and while she gave it a short lookover she just as quickly gave it a shake. As abrupt and mildly tactless as it might have been, this was a time for her to make acquaintances, after all.
“Winter Schnee.”
“Good to see you two!” She beamed a wide smile, one that seemed to take the edge off of the air. “Normally we’d have one of the waiting staff to do this, but since it’s for you and Qrow, I’ll be handling it. Anything to drink?”
“Got any beer?” Qrow asked, but before Winter could shoot him a look Summer was doing it for her.
“It’s not even three in the afternoon, Qrow,” her voice was almost monotonous, but it was as if she was responding to an old routine that still retained its humor.
“Fine, fine. Some coconut juice if you have any.”
“Alright then!” she jotted it down on her notepad and turned her brown eyes to Winter. “And for you?”
… She really shouldn’t be saying this, buuuuuuut-
“Got any beer?”
The woman froze in her spot. Another moment passed before she blinked her eyes and shook her head. “Ugh, you’re so perfect for each other.” She wrote another line in her pad. “Okay! I’ll be right over with your drinks, and the soup will be coming up shortly. Apparently Tai has a whole meal planned out for you already, so just sit tight and enjoy, okay?”
As Summer walked away, Qrow looked over to the kitchen again, but then scanned over the few heads in the dining area. After a moment, he leaned over and whispered into her ear. “See anyone you think you recognize?”
“Wrong person to ask, don’t you think? Not my city,” Winter said shaking her head.
“Good,” he leaned over and kissed her cheek. “I don’t either.”
The bell on the door rang out again, and suddenly a rush of footsteps dashed up behind them.
“Tío Qrow!”
“Sobrinas!”
Suddenly there was a blur of blonde and brunette hair dashing around the two of them, hands latching onto Qrow. A deep and throaty laugh bounced from the walls, and before she knew it he had two teenagers hanging off of him. “Winter, say hello to my nieces, Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long.”
She wasn’t sure how much the two teenagers knew, so she kept it minimal in the end. “I’m Winter Schnee.” She extended her hand and the two of them shook it briefly. “Qrow talks about you two a lot.”
“Cuz we’re the best!”
She winked and continued. “He also said one of you isn’t really his niece.”
A pause. And then-
“It’s her!”
“She’s not the real niece!”
Both of the girls pointed fingers at the other, and Qrow rolled his eyes. “You’re both my nieces, and you’ll both have to deal with my drunk ass anyway.” He gave them a soft jostle, “Now go ask your dad to see if you can eat with us before doing your homework.”
With one last quick squeeze from the girls, the both of them hurried over to the kitchen. She could hear them already asking for permission and how long they could put off their homework for.
Summer exited out the kitchen again, this time carrying their drinks. “In English! He doesn’t speak Spanish!”
Ruby’s head wasn’t visible, but Winter could already imagine how the girl might have looked as she spoke. “Mom said to use Spanish!”
Even more Spanish came from the kitchen and she could hear Summer’s sigh all the way from their table. “I’m glad that they enjoy learning another language, but it’s no good if all they want to do is just annoy their father.” With a few more quick steps she was in front of them, and she expertly placed the drinks down and began to pour Winter’s beer. “One coconut water, and one beer. Anything else for now, or can I send out the-”
“Summer!”
Yet another new voice came from behind Winter, and when she whipped around she was greeted with a woman almost as tall as Qrow and with a black unruly mane reaching down her back. Her eyes covered by a pair of sharp designer sunglasses, and there was a confidence in her stride. She was a woman of power, not unlike herself.
That, and she was impeccably dressed in black and reds.
“Oh, I was wondering where you were.” Summer looked up from their table, taking Raven into a quick embrace. “Thanks for bringing in the kids for me.” As she was drawn in, Raven placed a peck on her cheek.
“Traditional greeting. She might try to kiss you like that somewhere down the line too, if this all works out,” Qrow whispered under his breath. Winter wasn’t exactly new to the concept, but she still nodded her head in acknowledgment. It was mainly a cultural thing, one that she happened to have read about when she was first examining the Branwen crime family after meeting Qrow.
“They are as much my children as they are your children, Summer. And Ruby is so cute, how can I not wish she was also mine? De nada. You remember what that means, right?” Raven said as the two parted. With a quick hand, she straightened out the apron and clothes before leaning back in for a quick kiss on the lips, making Summer giggle.
“Careful - you might make Tai jealous.”
The taller woman scoffed, and she probably rolled her eyes, too. “And you can tell Tai all about it back in the kitchen.”
Qrow leaned in to whisper again, sniping her question out of the air. “They’re all sleeping with each other.”
That made a lot of sense. “Ah.”
Her tiny utterance, however, caught Raven’s attention, and once Summer left to bring out the soup, she took a seat across from her and Qrow. For a moment, there was silence. The two women stared at each other, and she could feel Raven doing the same thing Taiyang had done earlier.
Scanning.
“So,” the sunglasses came down, and Winter found herself staring into red eyes that matched Qrow’s. “You are Winter Schnee.” Her voice was lower than before.
“That would be correct. And you are Raven Branwen.”
The woman nodded slowly, eying the beer in front of her. “Do you drink like my brother?”
She reached forward and brought the vessel to her lips, feeling the bitter liquid go over her tongue before swishing down her throat. “Not always.”
“Good to see that the Schnee family is doing well then.”
“Exceptionally, thank you.”
Summer slipped out in front of them again, this time carrying three bowls of soup. Quickly placing them on the table, she quickly hurried back and away from them. Perhaps she recognized that they were on business and wanted to keep her presence at a minimum. Raven and Qrow had begun to eat, and Winter followed suit. Bringing the hot broth to her lips, she gently started to drink.
“Normally us Branwens would not entertain the idea of mixing with criminal families. Most of them offer nothing of value to us and only get in the way. However, the Schnee name is not without their proper respect in our household. And you have the fancy of my brother. Quite a combination.”
Winter, however, heard nothing of it after the first sentence. All she knew was that her tongue was on fire. Her cheeks started to flush red, and she could already feel beads of sweat beginning to gather on her brow.
This bowl of soup was delicious, but it was also incredibly spicy. In fact, it was the spiciest thing she could recall having in her life.
“I have to say, we’ve come to an unusual situation where the two families can offer a mutually beneficial service to one another. You Schnees are known for more financial laundering while-”
Nothing else came through to her in the end. With a swift hand she grasped her beer and started to down it, feeling the heat die down in her mouth. But when the bottle was empty, it still remained and burned away at her.
“Hey Winter, you okay there?”
“Yeah. Yeah, it’s-” she grabbed the napkin and brought it to her face, wiping away the sweat. “It’s just really spicy,” she nearly choked out.
“Ah, god damnit, I thought-” Qrow stood up from his chair and yelled towards the kitchen. “I thought I said keep it mild, Tai!”
A voice boomed from the kitchen. Surprisingly, it was from Summer. “That is the mild!”
And thus began the start of the Branwen-Schnee crime syndicate.
