#21 emon

[luddlestons]

I was surprised and delighted to see so much interest in the notes on the last post I did about my silly little AU where everything is perfect and Orym gets so many boyfriends

For those curious about the 'plot' of this AU:

Orym and Will have been married for 15 years; they got married at 21 and moved out of Zephrah to Emon for a bit before moving to Jrusar, where everybody's at nowadays

Orym and Will meet Ash when Fearne invites Ash to Jrusar's local kink club (bc this is FULLY self-indulgent). And of COURSE Ashton is into letting this extremely hot little man tie them up while his husband watches. Orym & Will are poly but have never had another romantic partner before, and they spend a couple months just fooling around with Ash before asking to Actually Date.

Dorian is an old friend of Orym's from when they were living in Emon. He got to know Orym while he was in college, but after graduation, he moved back to his family in the Silken Squall. Much like in canon, he didn't wanna stay there, and he ends up moving to Jrusar as well. He stays in Will and Orym's house for a few weeks while he's getting settled, and meets Ashton at that point (and spends a while trying to ignore that he's slightly jealous that Orym and Will got a boyfriend and it's not him.)

Eventually Dorian moved in w/ Fearne and gets a job at a coffeeshop that's owned by Opal & Ted's dad (Dariax also works there, and eventually Fyr'a and Morri do too probably idk). It's close to where Ashton works, so they get to know each other completely outside of the Orym/Will situation that's going on

Dorian starts dating Ash way before the other two, but after some amount of months I did not determine, they do all end up together. This is mostly orchestrated by Will, who has known about Orym's crush on Dorian for years now (and has been teasing him about it forever) and Ashton, who saw that shit a mile away.

Cyrus also shows up to be his dumbass self

Orym's mom visits one (1) time and decides she is adopting Ashton

[mr-laveau]

1. How did Alonzo react to the fact Uriah and Sherlock were married?

2. What is everyone’s kill count?

3. How long have Uriah and Sherlock known each other?

4. Why did Uriah turn them? (What situation were they in that Uriah felt like they needed to turn Sherlock? What happened with Sherlock?)

5. Why doesn’t Sherlock want Uriah to call them Sherlock?

6. Why is the art so scrumptious?

7. How do you pick the color palettes?

8. HOW ARE YOU SO UNDERRATED????

9. Are we gonna see more of Zachary?

10. Is Zachary Hispanic?

11. How years old is Zachary?

12. Since Uriahs tag is A4A, does that mean she uses any pronouns? Apologies if that is not the case

13. Are/Can D(a)emons be abnormally tall? Like 7ft or taller? Or just normal tall and short people hight?

15. So Seaweed Brains and Percy aren’t dating/together? Not even a little bit?

16. Have they ever been together?

17. So Seaweed brains has a boyfriend named Amun, (I have no idea if that’s really his name or how you spell it)right?

18. Does Amun know about Percy?

21. How did Khaleed go blind? Or was he born blind?

23. Does the glam thing work like an illusion? (I’m guessing it is an illusion since he was an illusionist)

24. How did Khaleed, Joseph and Rascal meet? Did two of them meet separately and then meet the other? Or all three of them meet each other at the same time? I know Joesph talks about how he met Rascal briefly but I wanna know more!!

25. In the “listening to an Energetic Radio-Host” video, Imari mentioned a Popstar (Darius?) and his rival. Are they potentially gonna be new characters?

31. Are we ever gonna get the full story of how Sherlock asked out Alonzo at a crime scene?

32. Are we gonna get a video of Uriahs cookout thing?

Jeez. That was longer than I expected, my bad. Idk if this it better or worse than sending a bunch of different ask. Umm, yeah… have a good rest of you day/night!!! :D

-🐀

Heyo! this was a good bit of questions and I was not feeling to type them all out so I did the more fun option and I've decided to read and answer them. This wouldn't be as clean as my usual audios but hope you enjoy! I loved answering all these but in the future tho, it'd probably be best to send asks with a handful of questions. Regardless, have fun!

[FILE OPENED: SUNBOUND_ultraviolet_TEASER-IV]

So, You’ve Never Heard of Sunbound Wolves!

VOLUME I [DAHLIA VER.]

{Pamphlet written, provided, and distributed by the Department of Uniform Magical Practices (D.U.M.P). All sources courtesy of the Dahlia Academy for Magical Novices (D.A.M.N) Archival Library and Anya Buchanan, a sunbound wolf of the Shaw Pack.}

☀︎ Origin

Location: Nearly all sunbound wolves live in Aria, the magical realm.

Population: There aren’t many of them—there’s a central village in a plane of Aria where they are primarily located (there is no Elegian or Arian name for this village).

Recovery: Their numbers are still small due to most of them being wiped out during the Sol'Arya Dynasty.

☀︎ Abilities

Immortality: They are biologically immortal—however, they do not have this immortality until the Elegian age of 25. In order to gain their immortality, they have to consult the Oracle, an ancient deity located in the center of their village.

Shifting: Sunbound wolves have the ability to shift between a human and wolf form. On average, sunbound wolves are larger than moonbound wolves. Some sunbound wolves also have horns, similar to d(a)emons, but they are rare, usually only being seen on members of the Ruling House. — While in Aria, sunbound wolves are constantly in wolf-form and cannot shift into a human form.

Enhancement: All sunbound wolves are granted with enhanced speed, strength, and senses. However, these abilities are dulled while under the following circumstances: if they're in human-form, if they have not gained their immortality, and/or they are located in Elegy.

Charm: The Charm ability is possessed by all sunbound wolves, and it is similar to Trancing (see A Guide to Vampires! Volume I, chapter 23, pg. 21, section 23.2) in nature. Charm allows the user the ability to physically and mentally control the target receiver. Unlike Trancing or d(a)emons, sunbound wolves are not able to induce memory modification using Charm. Charm is less invasive and inherently weaker than Trancing. In Arian history, this ability was taught to sunbound wolves by moonbound vampires during the Sol'Arya Dynasty in order to protect them. It eventually evolved to take on its own name, abilities, and restraints.

☀︎ Weaknesses

Connection to the Sun: If a sunbound wolf does not have access to an Arian or Elegian Sun for an extended period of time, they will become more and more ill until death occurs.

Need for Human Sustenance: Since sunbound wolves are naturally in wolf-form, it costs them a different kind of energy to maintain a human-form in Elegy—a type of energy the Sun cannot provide. To remedy this, sunbound wolves also rely on human food and need the required nutrition of any other human to remain healthy.

Vulnerability: While they are immune to the effects of aging once they gain their immortality, they are still vulnerable to death by external causes.

Weakened Healing: Unlike moonbound vampires, sunbound wolves possess no enhanced ability to heal themselves while in Elegy and in their human form.

Weakened/Revoked Magical Abilities: If there is a circumstance in which a sunbound wolf is in Elegy under the Elegian age of 25, they are physically unable to use any of their magical abilities to their absolute fullest extent, including Charm. For reference, their overall powers are reduced to the same level as that of a weak Freelancer. This measure was put into place millennia ago in order to keep young wolves from hurting unempowered humans or themselves while in Elegy. On the other hand, if a sunbound wolf is in Elegy and is the Elegian age of 25 or older, then they have free reign over all of their abilities, albeit slightly weakened as mentioned before.

Blood: Sunbound wolf blood is harder to resist by moonbound vampires, meaning a sunbound wolf is put more at risk while possessing open wounds around moonbound vampires. If a sunbound wolf finds themselves in an altercation with a moonbound vampire for whatever reason, it is important for them to remain cautious.

Shades: Unlike d(a)emons, sunbound wolves are not immune to Shades. While Shades are not able to consume life force from them as quickly as they are able to to humans, they are still able to take life force from sunbound wolves in both Aria and Elegy.

☀︎ Relationships and Backgrounds with Other Races (Both Elegian and Arian)

Moonbound Vampires: You might be thinking, “Moonbound vampires and sunbound wolves are on complete ends of the magical race spectrum—shouldn’t their magical relationship be strained?” It’s quite the contrary, actually. Think of it like two opposite magnetic poles—they are naturally attracted to one another. This sentiment can be applied to relationships between sunbound wolves and moonbound vampires. For example, in a perfect world, moonbound vampires would have constant access to sunbound wolf blood, as sunbound wolf blood provides the most sustenance and nutrition for them. However, in order to somewhat remedy this issue, sunbound wolves living in Elegy are required to donate their blood to D.U.M.P blood banks in exchange for D.U.M.P services. — {More of their connected backstories will be provided in the next volume of this pamphlet}.

Moonbound Wolves: We can apply the opposite magnetic pole metaphor with the relationship between moonbound werewolves and sunbound wolves. Essentially, moonbound werewolves and sunbound wolves do not have a positive magical relationship. To provide an example, it is usually recommended by D.U.M.P specialists that sunbound wolves who move to Elegy should refrain from joining moonbound werewolf packs. However, some sunbound wolves go against this recommendation. — {Once again, events during the Sol'Arya Dynasty have caused a centuries-long rivalry that will be discussed in the second volume}.

Sunbound Vampires: Sunbound wolves’ relationship with sunbound vampires is slightly more muddied and not as clear as the two species mentioned above. Indifferent and cordial is the easiest way to describe their relationship in Aria, as sunbound wolves do provide energy for sunbound vampires to feed off of, but their relationship to one another does not extend far past that.

D(a)emons: D(a)emons and sunbound wolves rarely interact in Aria—lesser is known about Elegy. Their relationship is mostly neutral.

Empowered Humans: Neutral.

Unempowered Humans: Neutral.

☀︎ FAQs

“Are sunbound wolves ‘werewolves’?” — Sunbound wolves are not werewolves or wolf-shifters. Sunbound wolves are wolves, and their human form in Elegy takes energy from them instead of the other way around. If anything, sunbound wolves could technically be labeled as human shifters.

“Why haven’t I met or even heard of sunbound wolves before?” — Nearly all sunbound wolves continue to live in Aria—most only visit Elegy once in their lifetime. This is due to the fact that many sunbound wolves do not feel safe with the extreme prevalence of moonbound werewolves in Elegy.

“Are there any sunbound wolves in Dahlia?” — There are. There is Anya Buchanan, who was mentioned previously. There is also another sunbound wolf in the Shaw Pack, but they wish to remain unnamed at this time. So far, these are the only sunbound wolves we are aware of in Dahlia.

“How are sunbound wolves able to shift and use magic? Isn’t that impossible?” — It is not impossible, at least for Arian races. Sunbound wolves have both an extrinsic and intrinsic core, otherwise known as a bitrinsic core. This specialized core allows them to physically exert magic while retaining the ability to shift between human and wolf form. For reference, d(a)emons have a similar type of core.

Doraemon Short Film: What am I for Momotaro? (1981)

Starting to go through the Doraemon short films from the 1979 anime series. Most of them premiered in theaters as bonus films alongside full-length Doraemon movies, though this one accompanied 21 Emon: Welcome to Space!, a film from a different Fujiko F. Fuijo series.

What am I for Momotaro? was based on a story from the Doraemon manga. As I have mentioned before, in the manga this story was a crossover with yet another Fujio work, Bakeru-kun. The basic premise is that Nobita and Doraemon help Bakeru investigate whether there's any historical truth to the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. In the film, the roles of Bakeru and his alter egos from the original story are instead filled by regular Doraemon characters, mostly Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo.

As with the Doraemon manga volumes, I don't plan on writing detailed reviews for the short films. These posts will mainly consist of disjointed thoughts and observations. For what it's worth, there are moments in this film that I felt were unpolished or contrived, but overall I think it's a cute story that does what it needs to do.

May contain spoilers below the break.

Something that stood out to me about this one is that Doraemon is written to be strangely clueless and incompetent. A lot is made of Doraemon being far from flawless in typical Doraemon stories, but he is especially so here, from being entirely ignorant of the story of Momotarō (giving the film an excuse to recap it for viewers) to initially taking everyone to the completely wrong time period (which seemingly serves no purpose in the story other than to pad out runtime).

It was interesting to see a short scene with Suneo speaking in English. He does pretty well!

In the Doraemon manga, a passenger limit was established for Doraemon's Time Machine, which is a plot point in Nobita's Dinosaur. However, this was ignored in later stories, presumably to facilitate plots where all five main characters went on time travel adventures together. From what I remember, the manga never directly mentions this restriction being revoked, but in this film, Doraemon explicitly says that the Time Machine was upgraded to accommodate more passengers.

In the film, the question of what happened to Doraemon's Time Camera after it was sent into the past is apparently abandoned. In the manga, the Time Machine broke down (which doesn't happen here) and the main characters instead used the Time Camera to return to their present.

It didn't escape me that Shizuka turns into a male pheasant.

🥀 alternate universe. critical role (vox machina).

the basics.

lady secret of house ranne, first born twin, but not the heir to the house, in the ivyheart thicket, between emon and kymal.

born in 786 PD (22 years old at the start of campaign i)

soulknife rogue/hexblade warlock.

infiltrates the clasp at 15 (lying about her age) in a misguided attempt that turning herself into a weapon would be the best way to help the house of ranne.

loses an arm in a fight aged 17, has a magical porcelain prosthetic (which is her focus when she casts magic through her warlock pact).

dies and is resurrected, no longer a tiefling but as a hexblood now, at 21, due to her parents making a deal, their lives in exchange for secret and her brother's. the memories of their deaths have been purged from their minds, and they were instructed not to pry.

the twins travel and begin adventuring for a time, until her brother returns to rule over the house and secret continues adventuring.

would consider herself a private investigator, but realistically, her skillset falls under spy (and the honeypot to her own information gathering exploits) just as much.

Menemui generasi si Boy

Pemutaran film Catatan Si Boy II meledak. Siaran Radio Prambors mencapai sukses, di antaranya Catatan Si Boy yang difilmkan. Pendirian dan perkembangan Prambors. Peranan Si Boy diidamkan kaum remaja.

Dia tampan. Dia jantan. Dia sopan. Dia beriman. Dia hartawan. Dia diperebutkan. Dia menawan. Dia idaman. Waduh, panjang sekali, tapi begitulah si Boy pahlawan dalam film Catatan Si Boy, hasil duet Marwan Alkatiri dan Nasri Cheppy. Film ini meledak dan Boy jadi idola.

Menurut catatan PT Bola Dunia Film, pemilik Catatan Si Boy, film Catatan Si Boy I yang diproduksi pada tahun 1987 menelan sekitar 400 ribu penonton di Jakarta. Cabo II diperkirakan lebih unggul. Sampai saat catatan ini diturunkan, film bernilai hampir 400 juta itu telah menjerat 100 ribu penonton di Jakarta--400 ribu untuk seluruh Indonesia. Menyaingi Saur Sepuh yang mencatat 575 ribu penonton sampai September lalu.

"Film ini kemungkinan besar menjadi box office," kata M. John Tasmadi, Ketua Umum Pantap FFI. Pada malam terakhir di bioskop Studio 21, Jakarta, 7 Desember, film Cabo II memang hanya mencatat kurang dari 40 orang penonton.

Tetapi Minggu sore tanggal 4 Desember, di bioskop kelas satu yang lain, Kartika Chandra, terlihat antrean ular panjang. Para pemuda berdandan keren, dengan mobil mentereng, nyaris tak tertampung di pelataran parkir. Dengan bernafsu, mereka menanti pertemuannya yang kedua—bahkan ada yang ketiga—dengan si Boy.

Budiati Abiyoga, produser film PT Parsidi Teta Film, sampai heran. Ia mengaku kepada Budiono Darsono dari Tempo, anak-anaknya sampai tiga kali nonton Cabo II. Padahal, mereka terhitung punya selera dan mengakui film itu tidak bermutu. "Bagi anak muda, menonton Cabo II dianggap mengendurkan saraf," kata Budiati. "Ya, sekadar rame-rame mengikuti trend."

Di Bandung, sejak pertengahan bulan sampai laporan ini diturunkan, bioskop terus kebanjiran pemburu si Boy. Tak hanya remaja, seluruh keluarga datang. Apakah mereka datang karena kebetulan Vera, pacar si Boy dalam film itu orang Sunda, sehingga kata-kata seperti kumaha damang, aya naon masuk dalam dialog?

"Saya senang dengan film ini karena mampu menghibur. Nggak perlu mikir, dan lucu," kata Ny. Dody, 34 tahun, kepada Gatot Triyanto dari Tempo. Lain lagi komentar Pak Rahmat, 48 tahun, yang berkata terus terang: "Saya senang karena Meriam Bellina nampak seksi sekali. Permainannya menggairahkan dan orangnya energetik."

Djoefri Palurang, ketua Perfin (Peredaran Film Indonesia) Cabang Jatim memberi kabar dari Surabaya, Cabo II adalah film remaja paling laris tahun 1988. Di jajaran bioskop kelas A2 (harga karcis Rp 4 ribu-Rp 5 ribu) film ini bertahan dua minggu. Ketika memasuki jajaran A1 peminatnya juga menggebu.

"Habis, bintangnya keren gitu, sih," kata Armita, 17 tahun, kepada Zed Abidien dari Tempo. Ia dan teman-temannya mengaku sudah tiga kali nonton si Boy. Mengapa? "Di situ Boy kan berperan alim," kata Armita, yang agaknya bosan melihat film-film remaha selama ini pacaran melulu.

Sementara itu, di Semarang, diputar serentak di lima bioskop. Cabo II sakti. Bahkan Plaza Studio 2—berkapasitas 200 kursi—yang jarang menyentuh film nasional, ikut terlibat. "Belum pernah gedung Plaza sampai beberapa hari penuh seperti ini," kata penjaga loket kepada wartawan Tempo Nanik Ismiani.

Sore hari penotonnya remaja, tapi kalau sudah malam bapak dan ibu pun ikut penasaran. Banyak yang terpaksa pesan tiket lebih dulu. Apakah semua ini karena di radio Chandra Taruna antara bulan Juli dan September lalu dibawakan cerita bersambung Catatan Si Boy?

"Adik-adik saya mengagumi tokoh si Boy," kata Permatadewi, seorang mahsiswa Undip. "Ibu saya sampai bilang, kalau punya mantu, pingin seperti di Boy, tambah Permatadewi sambil tersenyum. Ia sampai kehabisan karcis dua hari berturut-turut. Hari ketiga ia nekat pesan, itu pun pakai antre beberapa jam sebelumnya.

Sebenarnya, bukan hanya Boy yang jadi jimat film itu. Didi Petet, yang memerankan si banci Emon, juga memiliki daya tarik tersendiri. Lagak lagunya yang konyol memang menggelitik. "Terus terang, gue nonton Cabo karena ada si Emon," ucap Yanti, yang menonton Cabo II di bioskop Kartika Chandra. "Habis, dia itu konyol, sih," tambah cewek manis ini sambil tertawa ngakak.

Lain lagi kata temannya. "Semula gue nggak tertarik. Tapi setelah nonton, eh, lucu juga," kata Yayan. "Pokoknya gue nanti punya cowok, pinginnya kayak Boy. Gue demen pribadinya. Pokoknya, dia itu idola gue, deh," ujar Erina Elisawati, 13 tahun. Pelajar Kelas 1 SMP Al Azhar yang tinggal di kawasan elite Pondok Indah, Jakarta ini tak cukup hanya nonton satu kali. Ia menonton tiga kali berturut-turut.

Bermobil Baby Benz, si Boy memang pantas digandrungi. Ia tak jijik memungut anak kucing belepotan lumpur. Sembahyang khusyuk, ketika telepon berbunyi dari fans cewek. Menjotos roboh pemuda-pemuda berandalan yang mengganggu kekasih adiknya. Memenangkan reli mobil. Bergoyang di disko, tapi sopan santun terhadap wanita.

Cinta tidak dikotori seks

Boy ini bagai "anak dewa" di belantara Ibu Kota. Ia menampilkan sebuah jendela emas buat orang kaya. Cerita manis, yang tak peduli konteks sosial. Walhasil sebuah nyamikan yang segar, lancar, sedikit nyentil dan lucu, khas untuk masyarakat kota sumpek: Jakarta.

Dimulai dengan kedatangan Vera (Meriam Bellina) bekas kekasih Boy (Onky Alexander), bersama rekannya Priska (Venna Melinda) dari Los Angeles. Tak tersangka berkat gosokan Emon (Didi Petet) kemudian Priska akrab dengan Boy.

Sementara itu, Boy pun diam-diam kembali ke cinta Vera. Dalam sebuah reli mobil yang dimenangkan Boy dan Emon, Vera mulai mencium hubungan segi tiga itu. Ketika Vera memergoki Boy dan Priska ajojing, ia meledak bak mercon, nyaris menggilas Boy dengan mobil. Toh akhirnya Vera-Boy bertaut kembali, setelah Priska bicara dari hati ke hati. Sutradara menutup filmnya dengan adegan ciuman di dalam air.

Bagaimana menyuguhkan cerita gombal itu menjadi tontonan yang menarik, bisa diusut dari skenarionya (Marwan Alkatiri) yang dinamis, lalu penuangannya yang berselera. Cheppy, sutradara dan juga terlibat dalam penulisan skenario, ternyata terampil dan fasih. Onky, yang kentara belum bisa bermain, dituntunnya sehingga selamat.

Cheppy tepat memilih peran-peran pendukung, penata musik, dan penata artistik. Ia menciptakan gambar yang berhasil menghadirkan citra orang kaya. Dengan latar belakang sebagai pemain Teater Kecil dan sutradara teater dalam Festival Teater Remaja, ia melahirkan film manis yang tak ada isinya, namun memiliki tempat tersendiri.

Di sana-sini kita sempat mengurut dada mendengar percakapan para remaja yang terasa enteng dan kampungan itu, padahal mereka mahasiswa. tetapi inilah satu jenis lain dari anak orang kaya. Meskipun suka pacaran, Boy digambarkan santun dan taat sembahyang.

Peranan Didi Petet sebagai gelandang, yang keluar masuk adegan sebagai bencong, adalah kunci lain. Aktor panggung lulusan IKJ ini bermain dengan otak jernih. Ia cermat memperhitungkan perkembangan penampilannya dari adegan ke adegan lain. Kontrolnya baik sekali. Guruh Sukarnoputra memperkirakan orang menonton Cabo II, pertama karena ingin melihat Didi Petet. Setelah itu, baru pameran kekayaan dan kecantikan

"Bagi anak mufa yang suka ngeceng, film ini merupakan bagian dari mereka. Tapi bagi remaja di daerah, ini merupakan bagian yang diingini dan diimpikan," kata Guruh. "Daya pikatnya antara lain pada ritme itu, yang membuat kita hanyu," kata Teguh Karya pada Ahmadie Thaha dari Tempo.

Daya tarik Cabo II yang lain mungkin pada pemakaian idiom remaja, seperti kata rumpi, sebutan bagi yang demen gosip, atau sosot buat pacaran. "Anak-anak sekarang males nonton film Indonesia, yang kebanyakan menggunakan dialog-dialog yang kaku. Mereka pingin yang sudah akrab di telinga mereka," ujar Onky Alexander, si Boy.

Kita lupakan saja isi Cabo II ini. Tetapi lihat—seperti kesaksian Marwan Alkatiri—banyak anak muda keren-keren sekarang ikut salat Jumat dan mencantelkan tasbih di kaca spion mobilnya, seperti si Boy! Jiwamu bersih, pikiran jernih... Boy... Boy... Boy...
