Podcast

Vironica: Hello everyone, and welcome to a nee episode of Formula One talk!

Sara: Hi guys!

Vironica: So today, we will talk about something that you guys have waited for for quite a while.

Sara: Yes! We will talk about Y/n Y/l/n! She is, currently, the only female driver on the grid, and we don’t know a lot about her, but today we will begin this episode with discussing her and her performance on the track!

Vironica: I couldn’t have explained it better! So if you slept under a rock, or if you are new to f1, this year is the first year in a very long time that a female driver on the grid. That female being Y/n Y/l/n. She made it where she is now quite fast, she is currently 21 and this is her first year on the grid.

Sara: Yes, and that is also basically everything that we know about her. She is a very private person, so the only thing we know is her age, how she got up to f1, a few of her close family, and the things she shows us on instagram. Which is not a lot, and a lot less than that we know about the other drivers.

Vironica: Yes, and I think that that is what started the negative opinion on her. With not a lot known about her, people are, obviously, going to think things. And that is what happened. Because Twitter immediately began spectating a lot of thing, and Sara, you have a few examples.

Sara: Yes, alright, I won’t say who tweeted it for privacy reasons. So here we go! ‘The reason that Y/n is so private is 100 percent because she did some shady things or whatever’ and ‘the only reason we know nothing about Y/n’ real stop shops is cause she never had a real one and only has one night stand like a sl*t’ the next one is ‘Y/n is so weird to me, like she loves all these nerdy things and loves all these geeky things, so how could she possibly be good at driving?’ And the last one ‘there finnaly being a woman on the grid and it being Y/n is such a disappointment, like we finally get some one that can maybe make a difference and it is the girl that is too scarred to say anything, yet alone stand against an entire group of people and speak up’

Victoria: Okay so there are some very mean things said, but there is also a layer of truth to some of it. And also, the only other thing that is known about her is that she loves movies, reading and baking. Which is totally different than formula 1 racing, so that raises the question of if she is really fit for her spot and this life. And a lot of people see her as wierd, we included, because how in the world can a girl that for not care at all about her public appearance, is now a very public figure, more than the other drivers because she is the first women in many years to be on the grid.

Sara: exactly! And then to top it all off, we haven’t really seen her interacting with the other drivers, so it could go both ways, either they all hate her, or there is something going on behind the scenes that we don’t know. And fans have been speculating about how the WAG’s thing about her, with them not saying anything, so would they be jealous, and is there a reason to be? We will be going further into it in this episode along with other things F1!

F1Fanatic valid tbh

User I think it is kinda mean but some points are valid, because why enter F1 if you don’t want anything from your life public?

User7 I hate girls being mean to girls

It might be a bit mixed up but I started writing when the last season was still going on, and I changed it to the current season…

[lolli-popples]

Obviously, the Limited Life teams are all incredibly iconic, truly unforgettable, however, being one of the smaller Life Series, not everyone got to BE on them.

So, here's my personal take on what teams Lizzie, Gem, Ren, and Mumbo would be on if they had been in Limited Life. And we're ignoring the butterfly effect because this isn't an AU it's a thought experiment.

Lizzie: While I could absolutely see her on the Nosy Neighbors, she'd fit perfectly (and technically was on that team as Pearl), I have to pick the Bad Boys for Lizzie. Because you can't convince me that Lizzie wouldn't love going around with sunglasses and a leather jacket bullying everyone and telling them how Bad(TM) she is. She'd be amazing at that bit. Also, I just generally think Lizzie would just generally fit well on a team with Jimmy, Joel, and Grian. She adds to the comedy of that trio really well. (And 3rd of all, *insert that one Last Life clip*)

Gem: I think Gem would be on TIES. (GEIST, if you will.) She has a really good dynamic with all of the people on that team, also I think she'd have a good time bossing them around while also being a pretty great deterrent to any of their enemies. Also, I think she would absolutely bully Skizz about dying 3 times in the first episode and that would be really funny.

Ren: I know what you're thinking "Is Ren on Mean Gills?" NO- he'd be a CLOCKER. And he'd be a better father than Etho ever was!! Or Cleo ends up with a 3rd child, IDK. Ren would absolutely insert himself into this made-up family dynamic. Also, Ren kind of already looks like a Clocker. His Double Life skin especially is very similar to Scar's Limited Life skin.

Mumbo: Okay so I struggled with Mumbo. I considered the Bad Boys, but I'm not sure Mumbo could pull off that energy. I feel like he'd try, and then there'd be a funny clip of that. I also considered TIES, but again I don't super see it. So, I'm gonna go with the Nosy Neighbors, because I think Mumbo would enjoy the snooping. I think they'd be like "We should get spyglasses" and Mumbo's like "I think I know where to get those" and it turns out 'where to get those' is asking Jimmy to make one for him. Also, I want to see Mumbo's reaction to BigB because I feel like that would be hysterical and I don't think we've seen it before.

[tellmegoodbye]

Welcome back! This is the second installment of our monthly rec lists, where I round up my faves at the end of each month and tell you why I loved them.

The shortest month of the year was quite busy. I have 26 incredible fics to share with you, and that isn't even everything! I encourage you guys to make your own lists and tag me in them if you want. I love doing these, but I can't possibly keep up with all the wonderful fics in our fandom on my own. And as always, please show these writers some love!

---

Season Five Codas

First up, we have a few incredible codas for the last Lone Star episodes. As always, our wonderful writers worked their magic and wrote some beautiful fics.

No Goodbyes - @carlos-in-glasses

For our first fic of the month, we have a coda from the lovely Cig, who always does an amazing job at mixing complex emotions and showing us the humans behind the characters. They're never just sad, or just angry, or just happy. Sometimes, it's so many things at once, and Cig does a beautiful job of capturing that. This fic in particular gives us a glimpse into the aftermath of 3x08 and shows us a potential origin story for the phrase "no goodbyes" and I love it so much because you can feel the gravity of everything that happened, the way Carlos is processing all of those emotions, and the many ways in which he and TK love each other.

Brighter Than All This Lightning - @paperstorm

This was the first finale coda I read, and I loved it a lot! It has several moments from 5x12 that we didn't get to see, like Tarlos' reunion hug, the uncertainty while the 126 are all in the hospital, and TK telling Carlos about his decision to quit his job. This fic does a great job exploring all of those emotions, and I love the way Carlos comforts TK throughout all of it. It's a small period of both relief and worry, and a slowed-down moment in between all of the chaos.

No Regrets - @carlos-in-glasses

No goodbyes, and NO REGRETS! What a perfect way to conclude this story (for now) and what a perfect coda to read after the finale. It has such a creative format, showing us snapshots throughout TK and Carlos' lives, and at the end we get to see how Jonah's life looks now that he's with them. I love the dynamics we can already see developing in their family. We see all of the different ways TK and Carlos are loving Jonah, and all of the pieces of themselves they're giving to him. This is such a sweet fic and a beautiful glimpse into this family.

Towards The Sun - @theghostofashton

Another amazing 5x12 coda! I really loved how this fic not only focused on Tarlos, but we also get to see how Nancy is struggling waiting to see if Mateo will be okay. And we get to see how TK and Carlos are there for her as well. Neha does a great job at expanding her fics and showing us so much more than just Tarlos, and it's always enjoyable to read them with that added element!

Oneshots

This Little Moment - @everlastingday

If you're looking for Jonah fics, start with this one! As far as fics focused on this family go, this is a favorite. I love the concept of looking at how the relationship between Jonah, TK and Carlos evolves overtime when we see how they interact in the future. I love all of the detail that was included in Jonah's personality and the dynamics between the three of them, as well as all of the little things that show how TK and Carlos are incredible parents. This was such a sweet and emotional fic, and I love that this story is being told through Jonah's perspective.

Somewhere Off The Coast Of Santorini - @alrightbuckaroo

Are you a fan of AUs? Well, you're in luck if you are, because Ada is doing an event that's all about AUs that you should check out, and you should also read this fic as well! It has everything you want in an assassins AU: tension, humor, and hot sex. I love the aspect of AUs where they're different enough, but still maintain the charm of the characters, and this fic does a great job with that! We get to see Tarlos in an entirely different career, we get to see them be as infatuated with each other as they are in every universe, and we get to see their friends teasing them about it!

Swing For The Fences - @strandnreyes

Sometimes we learn little pieces of lore about our favorite characters that are like hidden treasures that are just waiting to be explored, and that's exactly what Jen does here! We know TK plays softball, but now we have a whole other world to play with and another aspect of his and Carlos' life that comes into play. I love how this fic follows them through season 5 through this lens, introduces new characters for Tarlos to befriend, and includes Jonah being adorable!

Welcome Home, Jonah - @lemonlyman-dotcom

This fic takes us on the journey of Jonah finally coming home. It's beautiful in the way it shows all of the emotions everyone is feeling, as well as showing some realistic, early parenting hiccups that TK and Carlos run into. Lemon really knows how to deliver a sweet fic, and this one is perfect for if you're looking to read something with beautiful family moments and feel the endless love TK and Carlos have for Jonah, and for each other.

Carlos Reyes And The No Good, Horrible, Very Bad Day - @the-126-family

This is the first of two fics that emerged from this post, which was already hilarious, and I love how this fic expanded on that idea. The combination of the serious stress of the asteroid aftermath and the more lighthearted stress of Lou getting out (and of course, being more frightening than the end of the world to Carlos) made for a really enjoyable fic!

Moka Pot Monday - @daggerandrose

Similar to the previous fic, this one also gives us some post-asteroid Lou shenanigans! It also does an amazing job at balancing all of those emotions, and I love the soft Tarlos moments as well! This fic shows the beauty and domesticity of their relationship in the way they interact with Lou, and in the way they comfort each other after a near death experience.

The End Is Near - angstk

Paging all whump lovers! We love tension, we love danger, we love angst, and this fic gives us all of that. TK and Carlos are in a hostage situation (because of course they are) and I love how this fic shows how the fear affects them, as well as how they take charge and try to save the day. It's action packed, it's high-stakes, and it will absolutely break your heart before putting it back together again.

You Wanting Me Tonight Feels Impossible - @emsprovisions

Our favorite original character is back: Lizzie the dog! This time, it's a universe where TK and Carlos are in Oregon, dealing with their strained relationship and the hardships of a brutal winter storm. The vibes are perfect for the angst this fic delivers, and the resolution is so beautiful! No matter what happens, or where they go, Tarlos are always going to get through it together.

We're Gonna Be Just Okay - @lemonlyman-dotcom

The title speaks for itself, because they really are going to be okay, aren't they? Lemon is back with yet another beautiful Jonah fic, and this time it's from the perspective of TK and Marjan, who are both entering parenthood together. This fic, like many of Lemon's fics, does such a good job showing the strength of TK and Marjan's friendship, and the moments with Jonah are absolutely precious.

Through Thick And Thin - @chaoticbug

This is another fic that dives into TK and Marjan's friendship, and what better way to do that than to have TK being there for her as she takes a pregnancy test and waits for the biggest news of her life. The 126 is truly a family, and this fic is a perfect representation of how strong that family is and how they support each other in moments like these.

Lost - @denizoid

This songfic (based on this song) is so good! It's so simple, yet it really shows just how Carlos and TK fall for each other so quickly after meeting for the first time. It's sweet, it's a beautiful meetcute, and it's a very enjoyable read. If you're into the "meeting in the middle of nowhere" vibe, then you'll definitely love this fic! I also recommend listening to the song while you read.

💞 Valentine's Day Fics 💞

Holiday themed fics are always fun, and y'all went all out for Valentine's Day!

Famous Last Words - @captain-gillian

TK and Carlos' first Valentine's with Jonah is nothing short of eventful! They have a three-year-old in the house now, and they'll do just about anything for him, which doesn't end so well for them here. This fic is so fun, and I love how it shows some of the more lighthearted ways in which things can go wrong. Overall it's a beautiful fic where we get to see more of this new family, and one of the many interesting situations they'd find themselves in with Jonah.

A Taste Of Something Sweet, A Window To Your Soul - @everlastingday

An AU where TK is a chocolatier is something I didn't know I needed, but now that I've read this I am so, so happy that this idea was brought to life! It's not just a simple Valentine's meetcute, it's so much more than that. We see Carlos and TK falling in love because of the care TK puts into his chocolates, and the way the flavors are described is so evocative. This is such a well written story, and it's perfect for those of us who have more than one kind of sweet tooth!

Like An Ocean In Love - @alrightbuckaroo

This is such a lovely 5+1 concept, and Ada did a fantastic job with it! I love all of the moments she chose to dive into, and each of these soft, special, and romantic moments is beautifully brought to life. Ada's writing is so gorgeous, and I highly recommend reading this if you need more of TK and Carlos being undeniably in love!

For One Weekend Only - @no-goodbyes-no-regrets

This was written for the @tarlos-secret-cupid event, and I am so, so thankful to have been the recipient of this beautiful fic! Bijou did such an incredible job with the alternative meeting prompt, and I absolutely love the dynamic between Carlos and Luisa here! There were so many things about this fic that were sweet and fun and overall this was a very lovely read!

Of Your Kiss And Your Warm Embrace - @carlos-in-glasses

Not directly a Valentine's fic, but this fic was also written for the secret cupid event and Cig did such an amazing job (as usual) with this! I love the prompt of TK saving Carlos from a horrible date, and Cig worked wonders with it. As usual, it's silly and hot and we get to see Tarlos' soulmate-ism at work once again. If you're looking for something sweet and fun to read, this is the fic for you.

Chaptered Fics

You're Still The One - @strandnreyes

Did someone say Sweet Home Alabama AU? I've been obsessed with this concept ever since I saw the first snippets, and as usual, Jen has been giving us an amazing story! This exes to lovers fic is giving us the angst we all desperately crave. Or maybe it's just me craving it, but this story is definitely delivering! We know Tarlos will find their way back to each other, but the process of unpacking their past and confronting those emotions has been both beautiful and heartbreaking so far.

This fic is currently ongoing.

The Widow's Bite - @henrygrass

The writing in this fic is just so incredibly evocative, and it's everything I would have wanted from a spinoff. With Carlos and Sam working together while their families are in hiding, there's so much tension and so many twists and turns that have me on the edge of my seat. Every time I sit down to read a chapter, I physically cannot pull myself away! I can't wait to see where this story goes, and I highly recommend reading if you're looking to dive into a gripping nail-biter that also offers plenty of angsty and emotional moments.

This fic is currently ongoing.

Something Worth Waiting For - @carlossreaders

An AU where Tarlos are divorced parents was an intriguing concept to say the least, and the way this story came together was beautiful. We usually wouldn't see TK and Carlos dealing with something like this in fics, but I think that's what makes this one so good, because it shows just how strong their love is. We get heartbreaking flashbacks of the loss they faced and the struggles that came with it, we get to meet their two kids whose personalities are big and whose hearts are even bigger, and we get to see how Tarlos come back to each other and confront the pain that separated them to begin with. Love, loss, Parenthood, and TK and Carlos being soulmates: all of these elements came together to create an incredible story.

This fic is now complete.

The Lone Ranger - @rangersoup

Do you want more Ranger Soup? Do you want to see more of the dynamic between Sam and Carlos? Then you should read this fic! It's intense, and it shows just how strong the bond between Sam and Carlos is when Carlos is injured. It moves fast and slow in all the right moments, it gives us perspectives from different characters, and we see how TK surpresses his fear in order to stay professional and attempt to save Carlos. It's full of the action we all crave, and I can't wait for more!

This fic is currently ongoing.

Are We In The Clear Yet? Good. - @liminalmemories21

This series of season five codas is, for lack of a better description, fucking beautiful. There is so much love that has clearly been poured into this, and each moment that was expanded on is so thoughtfully written. I loved all of the angst, joy, and every emotion in between that I got to experience while reading, and this fic genuinely made me want to go rewatch season five afterward. There's so much detail, so many complexities, and so much love for these characters and their story. If you're looking to ride the rollercoaster that was this season again, look no further than this fic.

This fic is now complete.

Somewhere In A Song - @paperstorm

Returning from the January rec list: This is a beautiful Musician AU, and it keeps getting better! I also highly recommend listening to the playlist as well. The way each song is woven into the story is so thoughtful, and being able to dive into the lyrics and relate them to these characters makes the reading experience incredibly enjoyable!

This fic is currently ongoing.

[birdsaresubmarines]

Okay does anyone else think that Arthur is going to die this season? Because the death flags keep piling up...

In ep 50 Alia mentions Arthur and the 'final act', which probably refers to his death. While it could refer to an act of a play, aka this season, imo there aren't enough references to theatre to justify this reading, plus Arthur sacrificing himself would be a firm resolution to s5 and set up some juicy conflict for season 6. Also the description for ep 50 includes the phrase 'one last time', which doesn't bode well at all.

I actually believe that Arthur's death has been foreshadowed since as early as ep 43. The story goes out of its way to establish that if Arthur is dead, then John cannot move, which is an important rule for the episode's plot, but also one I beieve will come into play later on, which is why it's explicitly pointed out in this episode. While this information may just exist to raise the stakes of the story, there's a fair chance that it may be foreshadowing conflict as a result of this in s5/6.

Another element introduced early in s5 that I think will be important later on is The Waylay. We see a glass of blood and sand ordered for Arthur, which heavily implies Parker is in the Waylay and waiting for Arthur to arrive, which, if Arthur does indeed die, can act as an emotional climax for the season. I don't see why the Waylay would be introduced in such detail if it doesn't appear for longer later on in s5/6, and Arthur's death would be an apt vehicle to explore this new setting.

My current theory (mostly speculation on my part) is that S6 will take place in/heavily involve the Dark World, since it's mentioned literally every season despite never appearing first hand. It would make sense for the series to end where it all began, and would make sense as a setting given the increasing involvement of the gods as antagonists. I also reckon Noel will return, since if he wasn't going to then he'd probably have been killed 'onscreen', and the Dark World seems like the sort of place Kanye would have sent him. Hopefully Arthur won't be dead permanently (I feel the talisman might save him somehow), but it is a horror podcast so who knows ;)

Feel free to respond with your own theories/speculations! Unfortunately the only people I can theory craft with at present are strangers online, so I'd like to hear all of your thoughts XD

(on an unrelated note the cowboy stuff is worsening my Malevolent x Dark Tower brainrot severely)

[anpanman95]

Okay so I couldn’t wait for this I’m sorry. I need to talk about it because we might not get any answers any time soon — so I’ll create them.

Bear with me for a little while

Who is behind this?

My first suspect is Boss, for obvious reasons, but let’s think about it a little more.

Aside from the fact Yinwar are not that predictable, Boss has literally no motive to go after Jack/Joke at all, even if he hates them. He shouldn’t have any reason to want to hurt them cause his main desire is power. Money and power. How will he get power and money by kidnapping/keeping Joke hostage?

So here is my other guess. I’m sorry if this ruffles some feathers, but literally anyone could be behind this, knowing what Yinwar are capable of.

Apologies in advance, I’m gonna be brutal.

I suspect Nang and Rose

I know, I know, just hear me out

1. No auspicious date? Tragedy? I stand with Joke when he said “this is simply ridiculous”

Do you remember the last time Yinwar introduced a crazy, ridiculous idea (The Ring and its “power”), that ended up being false? (It was all a game from the Four Horsemen).

“you are also enemies” ?

My friend, they have literally never been enemies. Joke has never seen Jack as his enemy, not once. And Jack had never stopped caring for Joke, either. He had just been driven by anger and pain.

I understand they care a lot about this kind of thing in their culture, but the reasons P’Nang gave were simply not good enough. Telling them their union might become in tragedy? Why? Because they are enemies? They are NOT. They are literally NOT.

(my poor baby Jack fully believing it and Joke being outraged is the most accurate thing)

“You can’t be together” ?!? You’re telling me they’ve been engaged for a YEAR, and you choose this moment to tell them not to do it? Why are you dragging this out? Are you staling, perhaps??

I SAY SUS.

2. Rose not being helpful AT ALL.

I know she doesn’t really have any power, but what the fuck has she done to help them in this episode?

Girl did not lift one single finger except to try and hug Jack (yes that bitchy face did not escape me, Khun Rose)

My girl, I love you, but you could have done SO much more to help them. She didn’t do SHIT. Not ONE single useful thing.

Besides, everyone is talking about their loved ones being invited to this place, and then she casually says:

“It belongs to someone POWERFUL. Scarier and richer than Alice” — why would you say all that? Are you perhaps trying to pull them into a trap?

HUH? This brings me to the next one, actually.

3.How did everyone end up at the casino?

Let’s start with Nang’s scene learning how to drive. This scene irks me. She plants the “death” idea in Hoi, scaring him, unchaining the rest of the events.

Now, the rest of them:

Arun’s connection is his dad

Jack (and ultimately Joke)’s connection is grandma.

Hoi’s (and coincidentally Tattoo’s) connection is Nang.

Hoi is now scared

And loops Joke in to it.

More importantly, Nang gives the invitation to Hoi. Why did she give it to him?

Perhaps so he can show it to the rest? Tattoo, who eventually not only connects the dots for everyone to realize it’s a dangerous place, but also makes duplicates for all of them; to Joke, who realizes this might be the place where the stolen files went to, after Tattoo tells them it’s the same address Save sent them.

Also, did Nang go to this place, though? She was invited. Did Hoi tell her not to go? (I assume Jack stopped his grandmother from going. Arun might have done something similar, but then again, I’m not entirely discrediting boss as guilty)

Or did she actually go and we did not see her? You know, driving herself, as she now knows how to?

And WHY does she need to learn how to drive in the first place? And why didn’t we see where that ended? It felt so random, somehow. Does she need it cause she’ll be driving someone somewhere? Huh? Maybe to a house in the middle of nowhere? huh?

Last but not least,

4. Nang’s reaction to Joke ‘dying’

“If he didn’t die then it would have been you, Hoi” Excuse me, again, but why did anyone have to die? This is what I’m not getting.

How did Jack and Joke’s wedding result in someone dying? Is it because you don’t want this wedding to happen? Why could that be? Hmm?

It makes me wonder.

She also officiated the saddest, most depressing wedding of the century, and girl did not shed a single tear for a tragic dead of a friend. Not one single tear. That’s a biased opinion though.

….

Okay, now, why would they do this?

Well, Rose has a very obvious motive, everybody knows she might still have feelings for Jack.

Nang? Well, Nang will always be there for Rose. She cares for her, and let’s be real. They had a whole year to plan this out. Nang is always there for Rose, that much is clear. Even if that means breaking two people apart in the most horrible way.

Maybe they intended Joke to die and worked with carbon. Maybe they didn’t work with carbon and simply took advantage of the events to their benefit. Maybe they intended to abduct Joke all along.

Remember, it could be as simple as the person behind it being Boss, but Arun lives with him and how would he have not noticed his absence? Arun would have told his friends if his father disappeared or left somewhere.

And it doesn’t feel right. To me it wouldn’t make much sense that boss is the one behind this. I don’t think Yinwar will go down that route as it’d be too obvious. And so far, whenever they were obvious about something in the plot, they put it RIGHT on your face.

And another thing:

Joke’s reaction.

Joke looked both shocked and sad.

It leads me to believe it’s someone he knows and hadn’t expected to be there.

Look, I may be obviously wrong and they might be innocent, but I’m going out of my mind with grief at the moment and I need to analyze this shit to the bottom as a way to cope.

So, I know I might be missing a few things as I only watched properly once, so do let me know what you think. There is A LOT MORE to it, but my brain is all scrambled cause I only got these revelations an hour ago.

Do you guys think it makes a least a little bit of sense? Can you guys think of anyone else that might make sense other than Boss?

We can never be 100% sure, truthfully.

But if there’s one thing I do know, it’s that it’d be fucking awesome.

[sugarandspite05]

im sure this theory is frequent but i got my friends to start yellowjackets (yippie!) and one of my friends said that adult taissa looks "robotic” in the scene where they’re taking family photos. and i don't know why it took me this long to realize, but when she mentioned that i was like….

okay, so the lines between other tai and normal tai just have to be blurred. it’s clear that adult tai doesn’t have control over other tai and it’s ruining her life…. or is it?

but anyway other tai doesn't just come out when shes asleep, its when shes awake too. and i get that, but i guess my friends comment just woke me up to the fact that when adult tai is on screen it could rlly be other tai or normal tai at any given moment, you have to really focus to see a switch. that’s if the switch is even noticeable?? i think it will get to the point of no one being able to tell. and tawny cypress is sooo good at showing the subtle changes in her face when needed, so honestly im feeling like ive been very dense this entire time😭 and now that im looking over these old scenes it rlly just shows me that other tai and normal tai are just coequal.

and then that also makes me believe that at some point tai is gonna fully release herself and embrace other tai. i mean, that’s what these recent s3 episodes are showing me.

(taivan appreciation coming out here now) i 1000% believe van is the catalyst for tai FULLY accepting and embracing herself… good tai and evil tai alike.

now thinking back to shauna telling tai about her affair, tai says what she had with simone was good, stable, but it’s clear that the “spark” she felt was referring to van, the relationship that’s messy and the inherent bad choice based on their shared trauma. but tai has always wanted van. and i think taissa’s demeanor change in season 2 really exemplifies the exploration of other tai, and that correlation to van. it always has. i mean, she goes to find van because of it.

but focusing on tai’s character, it’s also noticeable how her appearance even changes too, how her dress becomes more laid back and more masculine as she strays away from being a politician and keeping up her self image (she literally hires jessica robert’s for this very reason). jesus, i adore taissa’s character so much… but that’s more yapping for another day.

but overall there’s this freedom now that current tai is experiencing that she was heavily lacking before, and i believe the last time she felt it was the wilderness. so, i do think tai will eventually kill someone for van and other tai will take complete control. but then again, who knows with this show anymore… my faith in the writing is very very slowly weaning but i still have hope in this show

Episode Eight: Close Encounters

Series Masterlist Next Episode

The door clicked shut as Caleb and [Reader] stepped into their apartment, both exhausted from a long day at work.

With a sigh, [Reader] plopped onto the couch, kicking off her heels as she leaned back against the cushions.

Caleb chuckled at the sight before heading to the kitchen. "You look dead tired."*

"I feel dead tired," she muttered, rubbing her temples. "Long day. You?"

He took a swig of water before joining her on the couch. "About the same. But I just got off the phone—the passenger from earlier is okay. Stable condition."*

Relief flooded her expression. "That’s good to hear."*

The tension from the day slowly melted away as they sat in comfortable silence.

Until she noticed—

Their faces were close. Too close.

Her breath caught in her throat as she realized there was barely an inch between them.

Caleb was watching her, gaze flickering between her eyes and lips, his own slightly parted.

For a second, time seemed to slow.

Then panic kicked in.

Flustered, she shoved him lightly. "Y-You should go change!" she blurted, sitting up straight. "I-I mean, you just got home, and uh—we should watch a movie! Yeah, let’s do that!"*

Caleb blinked at her reaction before smirking. "You’re acting suspicious. Did I almost steal a kiss just now?"

"W-What?! No!"

"Hmm…" He leaned closer, as if testing her resolve.

She grabbed a pillow and smacked him in the face. "Go change, you idiot!"*

He laughed, standing up. "Alright, alright. I’ll be back."*

By the time he returned, freshly changed into a loose t-shirt and sweatpants, the lights were dimmed, and a movie was playing on the screen.

Except—

[Reader] was fast asleep.

She was curled up on the couch, her face relaxed, the soft glow of the TV illuminating her peaceful expression.

Caleb exhaled a quiet chuckle. "So much for movie night."*

Grabbing a blanket, he carefully draped it over her, making sure she was warm.

Just as he was about to step away, a faint ding echoed in the room.

He glanced at the source—her phone, which was sitting on the coffee table.

The screen lit up with a message.

Senior Officer Lee: [Reader], a few of us are going for hotpot tomorrow. You in?

Caleb frowned slightly, an unfamiliar feeling stirring in his chest.

It wasn’t like she couldn’t go out with colleagues, but something about the casual invitation from another guy—a senior at that—made his brows furrow.

His jaw tensed.

What is this feeling?

He shook his head, rubbing the back of his neck as he stole one last glance at her sleeping form.

Was he… jealous?

The morning light streamed through the kitchen window as [Reader] settled into her chair, idly munching on a slice of bread with scrambled eggs.

The apartment was quiet.

"Caleb must’ve left early again…" she mumbled, absentmindedly poking at her food.

Her brows furrowed as she thought back to last night.

The last thing she remembered was watching a movie with Caleb on the couch, then—nothing. But now, she had woken up in bed.

"Wait…" she muttered, realization dawning. "Did he carry me?"

Her face warmed at the thought.

Shaking her head, she picked up her phone, noticing an unread message.

Senior Officer Lee: [Reader], a few of us are going for hotpot today. You in?

Her lips curled into a small smile. Knowing that Tara would also be there, she quickly typed out a reply.

[Reader]: Sure! See you there.

Meanwhile…

At the airport, Caleb was walking toward his aircraft, phone in hand, typing out a message before his flight.

Caleb: Heading out for my flight now. Will be back late tonight.

As he hit send, his co-pilot, Mason, peeked over his shoulder. "Texting your wife?"

Caleb slid his phone into his pocket with a nod. "Yeah. Just letting her know I’ll be back late."*

Mason grinned. "Smart move. My girlfriend gets upset if I don’t check in. She says if I don’t update her, she starts feeling insecure."*

Caleb raised a brow. "Really?"

"Yeah, women like to know they’re being thought of. Trust me, it helps in the long run."*

Caleb thought for a moment.

Would [Reader] feel the same? Would she get upset if he didn’t check in?

Maybe.

With that thought, he figured keeping her updated wasn’t a bad idea.

However, when he checked his phone before takeoff, his message had been left on read.

No reply.

His expression darkened slightly.

Did she just ignore me?

For the rest of the flight, an unshakable irritation settled in his chest.

Later that Night – The Hotpot Dinner

The restaurant was lively with chatter, the scent of simmering broth filling the air as [Reader], Tara, and a few of their colleagues enjoyed the meal.

Across the table, Senior Officer Lee had been subtly paying attention to [Reader] throughout the evening—refilling her drink, making sure she got the best cuts of meat, and nodding along attentively whenever she spoke.

Tara, ever the observer, leaned in close to whisper, "He’s been paying a lot of attention to you tonight."*

[Reader] blinked. "Huh? That’s just how he is. He’s always been polite."*

Tara gave her a look but let it slide.

As the dinner wrapped up, the three of them walked toward the car park. Tara was in the middle of making another playful remark when [Reader]’s phone rang.

Caleb.

She answered, "Hello?"

His deep voice came through. "I’m outside. Come out."*

She glanced around. "Wait, you’re here?"

"Yes. Come now."*

[Reader] looked up and, sure enough, Caleb’s sleek black car was parked near the entrance, his figure visible in the driver’s seat.

Before she could react, Officer Lee stepped forward slightly, an annoyed crease forming on his forehead. "Oh? Seems like you won’t have time to stay for a little more fun."*

Tara noticed the shift in his tone and side-eyed [Reader], already sensing the tension.

But [Reader] wasn’t paying attention. She was already jogging toward Caleb’s car.

Tara and Officer Lee stood there, watching as she opened the passenger door.

What they weren’t expecting—

Was for Caleb to suddenly pull [Reader] into a kiss the moment she slid inside.

Her breath hitched, her hands instinctively gripping the front of his shirt as his lips moved against hers, firm yet teasing.

Flustered, she pulled back, eyes wide. "W-What was that for?!"

Caleb leaned back, a satisfied smirk tugging at his lips. "What? Can’t a husband greet his wife?"

Outside the car, Officer Lee clenched his jaw.

Caleb, still holding [Reader]'s gaze, glanced in the rearview mirror, noticing the senior officer's lingering stare.

His smirk deepened.

Yeah. That’s right. She’s mine.

[keepcalmandcarriefischer]

Buckle up cuz it's storytime.

Okay, so

When I was a kid, The Kingdome was demolished. This was a stadium in Seattle. My father was a baseball fan and ,without a team in Oregon to cheer for, his "home" team was by default the Seattle Mariners. And, it being 1998-2000 kinda time range, this was the Seattle Mariners who had Ken Griffy Jr who is still a name people know even if they care nothing for MLB.

When my dad heard that The Kingdome was to be demolished, he immediately organized a family vacation to take his kids to a ball game in that stadium before it was gone forever. And that's how as a kid I saw one of the last games in the Kingdome ever AND sat above where KGJ played and got him to wave at me by simply shouting "HEEEYYY KEEEEN!"

And so. The replacement field was marked forever as a work of the devil by my father and by extension, his family.

Safeko Field. Spit noise. Gross. Bad. This is what's wrong with this country! The corporations are taking over everything! No local stadiums with names loved by the locals! No! You have to be part of a "brand" nowadays! Everyone is loosing their culture!

Heck, even our local stadium, The Rose Garden, was bought and renamed The Moda Center.

It's to hell in a hand basket for all of us!

Ok

So

All of that was backstory to why I just had a random episode of rage that took me about 3 minutes to understand what triggered it.

You wanna see?

I never once in my life realized that the evil corporation from my childhood was a real company, much less that they made products or what those were.

Hidden Surprises Pt 1

Summary: After the explosion that killed your grandmother figure and the man you loved, a little surprise comes in an unexpected form.

You heard some beeping noises. Your head is throbbing like crazy. You slowly wake up, looking at your surroundings and realize you're at Akso Hospital.

What happened? My head” you wondered trying to recall how you got here.

Just as you slowly sat up, you saw Zayne enter your room, with his eyes widened in concern.

“Oh, good. You’re awake. How are you feeling?” his voice was laced with concern.

“I feel …disoriented… but Zayne…what…happened?”you asked deliriously. “Why.. I'm in the… hospital ?”you continued, still trying to figure out what’s going on.

He drew his breath, trying to find a way to approach this sensitive topic. “What is the last thing you remembered?”

You try to recall earlier events, remembering coming home to see grandma and Caleb… and it suddenly hits you, the explosion that occurred at your childhood home.

No..no…NOO!!!

You start panicking, causing the heart rate monitor to rise up in response.

Grandma…Caleb…

Caleb

“Zayne, is Caleb alright? Where is he?”you cried hysterically at remembering that last thing you saw was Caleb entering the front door right before the explosion.

“Y/N” Zayne called out to you, taking his hand into his to calm you down.

“Please…they didn’t … they’re alive, right” hoping this is just a nightmare.

“ Miss Josephine and Caleb…” he stops before he continues, “they didn’t make it out alive” he reveals to you, looks at you with a tinge of sadness.

You broke down after hearing the news from him. You should have told Caleb the truth of your encounter at the mart, when you were looking for the evol fluctuation source and the suspicious man you encountered.

Maybe…

they wouldn’t be dead in the first place.

——

Even after you were released from the hospital three days later, you still didn’t know what to do. You swamp yourself into work and even went overtime, hoping you wouldn’t break down emotionally from the stress eating you inside.

Even as the few months had passed, the event was still fresh in your mind. You nearly broke down at work when the news channel showed the explosion at the neighborhood but Tara turns off the TV after seeing you having your mini-episodes. You hold onto Caleb’s necklace to calm you down but your heart still beats erratically just re-witnessing the explosion at your childhood home.

Any traces of your fond childhood memories have burned within the flames of the explosion. The house is now nothing but rubbles. The only family you had and known were also burned away within the rubble. Grandma… Caleb…

Caleb

The boy you loved is no longer here.

You remember the tense conversation you had with him before the explosion. Luckily it didn’t escalate into an argument.

“…I don’t want you to worry about me. It’s not often you get to come home these days, so ruining the mood is the last thing I want to do” you answered, when you noticed your wound from the incident.

“Also, I’m a grown up now. I need to be the one making sure I stay safe. You can’t protect me forever” you embrace him, resting your head on his chest, before you stand on your toes to peck his lips.

“Besides, no matter what, you’ll be the first person I go to for anything, even if it’s just to talk about our days. That won’t change” you cupped his face tenderly. “Just believe in me, okay?”

“Alright, alright” the two of you shared a kiss. “We’ve been outside too long. Gran’s going to be worried” as the two of you continue your walk back home together.”

“y/n, y/n..Y/N” you break free from your reverie, realizing Tara was calling you for you.

She looked at you in worry, “I’m worried about you. How about we grab something to eat? my treat” she pleaded.

Just before you could answer, you heard a knock and saw Captain Jenna coming in.

“Captain…I’ll send you the report soon.” Tara answered back, as she noticed her.

“Thank you. I just got one about a Protocore analysis. Who sent it?” Jenna asks as she turns to you.

“Oh yes! Sorry about that. That was me…” you attempted to stand up but only to feel dizziness, causing you to stumble.

Why now? Pull yourself together, Y/N

You have been feeling dizzy for the last few days and even nauseated to a degree. Even now, that nauseated feeling hasn’t disappeared and dizzy spells occur more whenever you stand up.

“Uh, you okay? I bet you haven’t gotten enough sleep. Rest and don’t be too hard on yourself” Tara’s anxious tone gently chastises you.

‘I’m…”

“Take care of your health first. Then you’ll have the energy to do other things. You’ll be taken one week off for the time being” Jenna ordered.

“But-“

“You have been overworking a lot lately ever since the incident to a point of burnout.”her tone softens. “I noticed you weren’t feeling well and that you weren’t getting enough sleep. Give yourself space and time to grieve for your loved ones” she motions to the door.

——

As you glumly left the Association’s building, you noticed Xavier leaving as well.

“Hey” greeted Xavier.

“Hey… you leaving too” as the two of you walked towards the apartment complex.

“Just finished up some work” he noticed your eye bags and fatigue appearance. “I heard what happened, how are things holding up?”Xavier asks in concern.

“I don’t know…anymore” you answered weakly, once again feeling sick.

Xavier's concern for you deepens, “Do you need any help, I can cover your missions for you, if that’s okay?”.

Just before you were about to answer, another dizzy spell hits you, causing you to black out.

The last thing you hear is Xavier calling out for you, as he catches you in time.

—

You woke up once again in Akso hospital, this time Xavier is there to greet you when you regain consciousness.

“Xavier…what happened?” you asked sloppily, as you tried to sit up.

“You fainted on the way. Looks like I was right, you weren’t feeling well. I brought you to the hospital soon afterwards ”

“…Thanks Xavier” you looked embarrassed. “Sorry for causing you some trouble” you looked away, rubbing the back of your neck.

Just then, Dr. Zayne came in to check on you

“You have to stay over at the hospital overnight for observation” he answered in a factual tone.

“I’m sorry.. Probably I just needed to stay at home and…”

“Well about that, we run some tests to indicate if there were other factors that led to you losing consciousness ” Zayne stops as he turns to look at Xavier. “If you don’t mind, this is a private issue between me and the patient”.

Xavier was about to argue but you looked at him, “Xavier, thank you but knowing Dr.Zayne, it will be fine”.

Xavier looks at you and stands up, “if you need any help, just call me since I’m just one floor ahead of you” he leaves the hospital room.

“So what did the test results say?” you turn to Zayne with your eyebrows furrowed in worry, hoping it is nothing too bad.

“You're pregnant” he continued calmly.

You looked at him in shock, as you subconsciously touched your stomach from hearing the news. “Pregnant” you looked at him in shock. You were still registering the news. You then broke down crying knowing who the father is.

“It appears you are around six weeks” he continued tentatively, not knowing how to continue on for much longer.

As the tears die down, you look at Zayne. “There are other options…” Zayne started to offer

“I’ll keep the baby” you answered with finality.

The little life in you is the combination of you and Caleb’s love for each other.

You smile to your soon to be bump, “Don’t worry my love, mom’s not going to let anyone hurt you”

[cheekybirb]

toh in general is such a poorly written show that had so much potential but doesn't really live up to it. like tbh i think the idea of the owl house is better then the show was. in hollow mind there could've been the chance to explore belos' character more or his past with caleb and instead it's just? surface level stuff??? and i understand disney cancelled toh and they only had a certain amount of episodes left but they seriously could've done better with the time they had left to write it. i realised while trying to write smth about belos before that he doesn't actually have much of a personality???????? like he's just a very empty character that's only really there to serve the role of a villain and nothing more. which okay fine whatever but also most of the other characters also have the same problem where i can't really tell what their personalities are supposed to be. and maybe that's just me being autistic but i seriously think it's just badly written? idk sorry for rambling here im insane but do u understand

That is super true. While I do understand how heavily Disney likes to censor the show overall, it is kinda made to be a slap in the face to Disney and because of that being the focus it made a lot of very important characters very dry when they could have easily done more research and made it show how the queer community is treated rather that "Oh its a queer show! How you like that Disney??"

Like Belos as a character could have been a much scarier and bigger threat if he wasn't a joke. I understand why they kinda wrote him without a personality because many Christians fall into line with the same personality and interests. But that wasn't even explored and therefore was unforfilling.

I really wish they went with a narrative that could really hit home with a lot of people. Like if they made Belos more realistic as a heavy conservative Christian in power. Or even Odalina as an abusive parent and have her drive a wedge between Luz and Amity rather than have her easily beaten and in the background.

The Owl House lacks a story. Like Belos was a villain since s1 without even showing up until later. Like Luz saw the coven system and was like, "This is wrong" with knowing nothing about it or why it's there.

Heck, even Eda could have had better writeing like if she was written that she became against the coven system for a much deeper reason rather then she was just a rule breaker. Instead, maybe have her sister cursing her be the reason. The covens drew a huge wedge between her sister, and that's why she didn't like it rather than "I was just gonna give it to you and I just don't like covens"

Raine could have had a showing in s1 to explore their character more especially their tension with Eda and them wanting to be a coven head.

Luz and Camilla's Hispanic heritage could have had a better representation other than they speak Spanish occasionally.

Gus having a greater impact on Hunter much slower. And overall him having more screen time.

Hunter slowly healing and taking new friendships and relationships slower as he heals from his huge amounts of trauma. (Yes I know the show was canceled, but Hunter immediately had a crush on Willow when they met)

Willow and Amity taking slower to repair their friendship.

Willows design showing more of her half Asian heritage. And show her power getting stronger over time.

Lumity was my biggest upset because they were rushed so quickly. With no flaws or bumps either. I wish their enemies to lovers held more character development for Amity as well as Odalina getting more in the way, maybe isolating her more. Amity also not knowing how to love either because she was treated like a business object.

I also think that Caleb in FtF should have a better effort to haunt the narrative. Like instead of just stare try one last time to convince Belos to stop but Belos doesn't listen.

I also wished Eda and Lilith had more tension with Belos and that they knew about Caleb.

But yeah those are just my thoughts. I still love the show I just wish it could have done better (as someone who is going into film and writing as a career)

[tobiasdrake]

Dragon Ball Daima 01x20 - Maximum

Final episode of Daima, here we go.

I am, of course, still totally checked out of the fight with Gomah. Like.

Like. That looks cool as hell but it's also just the 87th instance of Goku or Vegeta hitting this guy and doing no damage. Since it's been established that he's completely invulnerable and takes no damage from anything ever, this animation is wasted on what amounts to Goku and Gomah playing paddy-cake until the arbitrary moment when Piccolo shows up to end the fight.

Yeah, the pretty lights and flashing colors are cool, but they'd be cooler if they were doing anything to advance the fight.

Gomah summons a magic scepter at one point that just starts shooting blasts and I have no idea what this thing is even supposed to be. Has a Demon Scepter of Shooting Ki Blasts ever been brought up as a thing?

I totally thought Piccolo was going to use the Beam Struggle as his window of opportunity to get in and start bopping Gomah. But I guess he didn't want to get in the way of Goku's Kamehameha and end up double-KO'd with Gomah. That's fair. XD

The animators clearly thought that Goku's Kamehameha ripping a brand new hole between all three demon worlds would be the coolest thing ever but I'm just left like.

Uh.

Holy shit.

People live here.

Imagine if Goku hit Cell with a Kamehameha so powerful it cross the world, tore straight through West City, and then wiped the Sacred Land of Karin off the map. That would not be a triumphant celebration moment. Literally the tension of Vegeta's Final Flash was the fear that he would do exactly this.

Just because this isn't our planet, doesn't mean it's okay to wreck everything. This may be a spicy hot take, but I think Saiyans are very inconsiderate of other people's worlds.

Anyway, the time finally comes for Piccolo to end it.

He hasn't gotten to do anything for this entire show but now, at the eleventh hour, it all depends on--

--AND HE FUCKING BLOWS IT.

Piccolo gets one opportunity to finally justify why he's even in this series when he doesn't get to do anything to contribute ever, and he immediately eats shit. Piccolo was a complete waste of a character inclusion.

I think after two episodes of fighting him, we all kinda figured that the Third Eye was healing him rather than him simply resisting everyone's attacks. Every time it pulses, it's undoing all the damage he took while he was getting shitstomped a moment ago. But it's nice to see it confirmed.

The ultimate secret of Gomah's power is that he's just another regenerator like Cell and Buu.

Fortunately, almost immediately after Piccolo eats shit, Kuu solves the plot for us. Arinsu family is best.

This could at least have been like "Piccolo did the first two hits but then Kuu lands the third". But no. Gomah's weak point reset. Kuu has to do all three. Piccolo literally accomplished nothing in his one and only spotlight moment.

And Glorio gets the kill on the Third Eye, which was the real enemy for these last three episodes of fighting. Good for him.

Oh, Panzy. You were a cool concept but they ran out of ideas for anything to have you do a while ago. I still can't believe Panzy's one job in the entire Makai #3 arc was babysitting Dende.

Yessssssssssssss

Respect the Kuu.

I'm just so happy every time these two are onscreen. I'm glad they've found acceptance with the Third Worlders.

The funny thing is, Arinsu could totally claim the throne right here and now. With Gomah and Degesu out of the picture, doesn't she kinda... win by default? Plus she's got Kuu and Duu to be her muscle. I'm not sure what's stopping her from declaring herself Demon Queen.

She doesn't want to live in fear of assassins for the rest of her life. You know what, that's fair.

You know what, I can accept that. XD Arinsu Family forever.

I love him! I love his stupid magic cape he made out of excitement! And I love this family!

Dr. Arinsu turned down the throne for pragmatic reasons but we're still keeping it in the family.

And now he's just handing out cabinet positions to everyone who fought Gomah.

I like that Neva and Kadan get Minister roles. Kuu's administration will have representation from both the Second and Third Worlds, which means no world of Daimakai will simply be a vassal state.

They really said at the very end of this that actually Neva shooting Goku full of magic beams didn't do anything. Goku invented Super Saiyan 4 between series, has had it this entire time, and also secretly had it for the entirety of Super too.

Fortunately, Super Saiyan God very quickly obsoletes all other forms in DBS so this retcon doesn't really cause any problems for it. Though this does finally put an end to the "Okay but which is stronger, Super Saiyan 4 or God?" conversations. Super Saiyan 4 is, canonically, dogshit compared to the God forms and that's why it never appeared in Super.

Also fully decanonizes GT. I know there's been some back and forth in the fandom over whether GT can still happen in the future of Super, since it takes place after the end of the manga while Super is prior to said endpoint. Super doesn't seem to care about trying to build towards GT, but it also never explicitly decanonizes GT either.

"Super Saiyan 4 DOES exist but actually Goku invented it independently right after the end of the Buu arc" is the kind of detail that explicitly decanonizes GT.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Panzy waving Vegeta's arm while he does not give a fuck is the perfect visual to end the series on.

Nope, never mind. The reveal that the Third Eye is just some shit Abra bought at a travel shop a long time ago and there's actually more of them is the perfect thing to end the series on. It's a product. XD Oh, I love that.

1 Year anniversary of Boonboomger episode 1 premiere, The series that I never had any single thought that I gonna love them that much when I saw them at first

This time of last year, My life was pretty good. I enjoy my multifandom fangirl life as always, Taking with local friends, Discussing with western friends on discord, Playing some games, Building gunpla, It was a normal life but good. For tokusatsu that I love (and usually have a main focus on Kamen Rider) for more than 10 years now, I was on the hype train of Kamen Rider Blade 20th anniversary event. It was so happy that my favorite series had a spotlight again and still love by the communities. But in fact, I was pretty much on a faraway position from toku fandom since a long while now. I knew that Kingohger was a peak (I have some goods too) And Gotchard came to the half of series. But that time I was too faraway to ride on the hype train. Maybe because toku fandom wasn't my main focus fandom like I used to be. I was just enjoy some information about them when it come to my timeline and go to check if something fun happen.

When I heard a news about Boonboomger at first. I laughed a little from how funny the name is and made fun a little. Like Boom Shakalaka or Boom-Boom Shake (I'm in D4DJ fandom too). After I made a joke, I went back to my main focus fandom again because I thought "Well, Nothing gonna change. Know some news and look at them from far place like always. And my focus in toku fandom are usually Kamen Rider anyway" And when they appeared officially, People laughed at them because how funny the tire heads are. I was surprised too. Yeah... It was crazy design. But I always think that design isn't the most important thing. The story are. So I was waiting for the next information. Then February 18th, The cast revealed. I giggled again, For the third time. Because how the character name are too literally car-related names. Tire, Chassis, Mirror, Lock, Work site. But yeah... Still a normal thing in anime or media that sometimes the character names will bring from something that match the theme of story. So I was like... Okay lol. But the casts visual are so good. I admit.

Finally, First episode premiere. I looked at them from faraway position as usual. I knew that people still so impressed of how Kingohger was that much epic. So I assumed that Boonboomger that go back to simple way might not able to catch their attention that much at first... Or maybe not? How Sentai decided to go back to simple way after all of the craziness for many years might be a good thing, Let us rest for something more simple like a good old days. And after I checked a feedbacks, I was surprised and happy that how the audience like them after many laughs on them. Well, Simpleness aren't bad thing at all. But I will end up just checking on them from faraway again, right? Well, On the same day production blog was update too. As I checked a feedback from audience on Twitter, One tweet that captured one part of that blog caught my attention and it tickled my curiosity. That sentenced said that the blue "loves" (大好き) the red. Since I'm also long time fujoshi for many years that have lots of ships in toku fandom too, I was wonder a lot. Why they put that word so blatantly? Normally about shipping in toku, Just put something like have a strong bond, Strong interesting on other, Or trust that person a lot, is enough to gain an attention from fujoshis. But "Love" Huh??? This caught me off guard. I was like "Well, I'll keep check on them because I'm so curious right now"

So, I went back to main fandom like I always do. But keep checking on Twitter and Facebook every week after the on-aired. I found that they really keep caught me off guard. Outside of how normal but fun to watch story. The dynamics of the characters that interesting. And as my curiousness was on that certain blue boy, It kept escalated lmao. The "Unfair", "Trust your judgement", "Don't leave me behind" all of them came after the word "love" on production blog. They caught my attention and won't let me go because my fujoshi sense was tingling so bad. And his character settings have lots of my favorite tropes too. That time I still thought that "My interesting on them might be not that hard". But then, My local friend that I knew for many years but didn't talk to each other that much for years started addict to Boonboomger. She drew lots of BBG fanart. And of course since she's fujoshi like me, She drew fanarts and spicy fanarts of red and blue too. And those fanart kept come into my timeline. Lots of male friends joking about them too. Everything was too perfect for me to... Maybe comeback to toku fandom again? One day on May, That local friend decided to make a first Tiremeter doujishi. And when I saw that announcement, Even though that time my interesting still wasn't on the super high level, But I was like "I have to get one!" So I DMs to her since many years. We reconnected from the love for them. And then after that for a bit while the plushies was on sale and I decided to bought it. That time I was like "Well, Point of no return for me. Maybe I love them now."

I went to Japan for Kamen Rider Blade 20th anniversary event on August, But I enjoyed Boonboomger stuffs too like watched the on-air real time, Went to eat at Sentai Restaurant and buy some merches. After that I checked on the latest episode every week and enjoy the overall aspect of the series. The lovable characters, The simple but fun story. And they lit my fire to back to toku fandom for real since that time current main fandoms was on stable (and had too little things to enjoy) status. So yes, Toku fandom became the main fandom again since many years. And after that Gavv was able to caught my attention from the design and how cute Gocizos are too so, Fever time! I connected to lots of friends who have the same interest. Even in JP communities too. Since that local friend help me (or drag me) to this rabbit hole, I have to help her access to JP communities to buying doujinshi too. And with our power, It was successful (But our wallet are completely defeated)

The fire that Boonboomger lit inside me wasn't only the feeling of excitement since long time, But my development and improvement too. I already got lots of confident boost about my drawing from previous fandom. When I saw my friend made a second doujinshi, I said to her that I wanna join drawing the extra pages too. That was a first time in my life that I could break the limit of my drawing and the old thought of "My work will never be able to sell" and I was so proud when I saw my arts as a form of doujinshi in my hand even though it was just an extra pages. After that my will to improve my art skill became stronger and I keep on going until now. I even think about what if I revive my fiction writing skill that I left it dead for 8 years too? Well... Maybe. And another one is... Yep, Me came back to Tumblr because I wanna yap about my bois! This maybe a little improvement of my English skills.

I, Who usually mainly attract to Kamen Rider and enjoying Super Sentai from a bit far away compared to Rider (I grew up watching early Heisei Rider before knowing Sentai for a pretty long while so), Finally found Sentai series that I really love, Found actual oshi that I stan a lot, Found OTP that made me excited and brainrot so damn bad since Build. (As I said before that I'd never into toku ships that hard since the best match bois) Found the 3rd IRL person that I stan a lot since last time that was 10 years ago. And I feel really thankful to meet them and everyone that came to my life because of them.

I'm a person who have to take lots of time to like something a lot. But if I really into that thing I'll keep into it and never change. Since my fever time on Boonboomger still strong so maybe I need lots of time to find another series that made me crazy like this again. I don't know if Gozyuger gonna be another wave of my craziness again or not since I need a time to know them a little. But I think I'll enjoy a new series from a little faraway position like always. And I'll never forget how Boonboomger changed some parts of my life. Because a fire of passion inside me already lit.

I'm really glad to meet you guys, Tire person.

2x19

the type of episode i like. all about the girls and a dude with a pretty sad backstory

shit it's "Alex" !!!!

maggie doing her job and being very good at it oh yay

kara comes in and becomes maggie's vulture oh no

17 HOURS??

"you never look before you leap" "because i can fly" i like that kara isn't on the right in this argument

mon-el shut up

also i like that maggie separates kara from supergirl. it's a nice touch to her character

lena has a ted talk ???? i desperately need to see it

"we could transport food and water [...] solve climate change" best billionaire to ever exist, except she doesn't exist

why are all the agents just like 🕴️🕴️🕴️

reading too much into things, identity edition: what happened between now and s4 that only like, 5 agents, other than alex and brainy, know kara is supergirl? did they all get fired? did they die. no one is trying to hide that at all... she literally just said word by word "they know kara danvers is supergirl" for everyone to hear, so what changed

"he met this horrible girl" "oh no who" "kara zor-el" "oh thank god, i thought you were going to say kara danvers"

lena should have stolen her

ok so saying "thank gods" is a giveaway to being an alien (you couldn't possibly be polytheistic) but "i flew here... on- on a bus" is totally normal?

losing-her-calm kara

the desperation. the stakes

OOOH that rick. from the s1 flashback

i thought kenny was her only friend back then, as brief as that was

they went dark with his character background

starting to think red kryptonite wouldn't do that much for her this season. she hasnt really been hiding her anger

people being able to lie counter: i should have started this one way earlier

reading too much into things, lena edition: she just wanted honesty and transparency i think and it just so happened that what rhea was hiding is that she's an alien. but the script communicated that poorly... if you only watch this one scene it's possible to misread the situation in a way that just makes lena look like a xenophobe: "you're an alien so i don't want to work with you" instead of "you were lying so i don't want to work with you". which is why it sounds so similar to what she will say to kara when they fight; it's not about being an alien, it's about being a liar

he did his research

smart and badass alex

smart and good cop maggie knowing how to read people and that there's more to the situation

smart rick. he really thought about all the possibilities

good cop/bad cop

i had so much hope they would be endgame 😭😭😭

this isn't really an entrance, you know

rhea is lucky that lena found it out this fast and by herself. imagine if she found out after they had been working together for 3 years and through her dying brother's last words

but maggie was right tho

i love the tension in this episode. have i said that already

crazy that the paragon of hope has gotten to a point where she needs a lesson on how to use her words

"are you okay?" "im not the one who just got blasted by her greatest weakness" "did they hurt you?" "who cares?!" "i do!"

"i love you" 🥹

she anna'd him, as in punched him the way anna punched hans. frozen

maggie receiving the credit she deserves + super-sawyer solidarity = me happy

rewatching and commenting SG because it's leaving netflix soon, s2

season 1 was satisfying overall, not that frustrating

lots of lena

2x01

why another location? whatever, it's fine. i like the old place too, alex

I 100% believe that kara thought the online quiz would be accurate, just like she thought the dating app in 1x01 would be, bc the algorithm cant possibly be wrong right? bc that's how it was on krypton

"kiera danvers"

eve !!!! i love her so much

"MISS TESSMACHER" counter: 1 (lex stole that from ms grant)

the striped one looked better

i just wanted kara to be a space nerd. is that too much to ask??? "yes", the cw responds

thank god cat and lena weren't there

oh look it's him. so inoffensive

super cousins save the day together counter: 1

new and upgraded title card

in s1 j'onn didn't seem to have beef with clark when they mentioned him that one time

her skirt has pockets. i want it

ok so crushing on kryptonians give badass CEOs prosopagnosia, got it

LENAAAAA 🚨🚨🚨 KATIEEEE

"and who are you exactly?" does she not recognize her gf?

a fic where cat and lena are friends and talk about their crushes on clark and kara to each other and the other is like "you do know that their are a super, right?" and the other is like "pfft nah"

"mr. kent" she says as if she doesn't know who he is. as if he wasn't lex's best friend once upon a time. as if they're complete strangers. but after everything they might as well be

kara's unwavering belief in lena counter: ∞

they should stop talking about super stuff in the middle of a croud

another partnership ruined bc of kryptonite

another batman reference. they said gotham this time. improvements

"i was thinking italian, I could fly there" not gonna say it, not gonna say it. there's four seasons to go still

her dress also has pockets?? amazing

"MISS TESSMACHER" counter: 2

im gonna miss her

"who would want lena luthor dead?" j'onn. my man. who doesn't want her dead? have you met her family? they hate her! and the luthor-haters also hate her

kaznia mentioned

you know what? her face does look different with glasses and her hair up

not them casually talking like they didn't just meet today

alex's fight scenes are so good

lena with a gun counter: 1

Kara's brain turning into mush when lena talks to her. mood

cat is already proud of her protege

she's leaving

"miss tessmacher" counter: 1

she really said "something has changed within me, something is not the same. im through with playing by the rules of someone else's game"

winn rambling is cute

cousin banter. cute too

i wish kal-el had been more present in kara's life for her sake. but for my sake, im glad he is not so present in the show

ugh lillian

[startokkie]

lost to the sea 🌊

[mauvity]

Did some subtle fanart for class once. Maybe too subtle… Honestly, I don’t know how identifiable it is without knowing it beforehand lmao.

[cream-and-tea]

what she says: yea i’m fine

what she’s thinking: the story brought both carpenter and faulkner to their inevitable end points that have been foreshadowed from the v first episode of the show ambiguity of carpenters death aside she stood on the banks of the river singing like her nana glass and was gunned down by the military and faulkner was drowned dragged delivered by the god and story he had let devour him but. but. before those things happened right before the narrative reached its end both of them stood up and said no! i want to go forward! i want to find something past this whatever it might be i don’t want it to take me yet im going to keep on walking! and it was too late! the thing is it was too fucking late!!!!!!! the aquifer was already flooding the soldiers were closing in she was to hurt to run he can’t swim. the chance had come and gone at the beginning of the episode for any hope of them reaching each other ever again but even though it was too little too late never ever going to be enough they both looked the site of their doom in the eyes and said i do not accept this. not here. not now. i am staring at you– the thing that will eat me — and resolving to pry open the jaws and choose to use the last moments of my life (whether i know it or not) to run and stumble and crawl and cry and sing in the hopes of reaching the people who matter to me more than being made your meal. and of course they got fucking eaten anyways. of course they did bc they were walking towards it from the beginning. but there is a way out, there is a way forward, there is a land beyond the storm that is possible to reach if you choose to step out of the story that has been built for you to find it. we walk on, with a rough and tarnished hope, and a tangled, ruined love. it can end with love, and it can end with kindness. even as the jaws are closing. ours is a world of miracles.
