What’s hilarious [read: ridiculous] to me…

… Is that Horobi and Yua actually follow a fairly parallel path in their responses to their situations (I had a whole realisation about how Horobi-Fuwa-Naki-Yua are a four way parallel today; Horobi-Fuwa are parallels and Naki-Yua are parallels, but then their actions crisscross parallel). But there’s a massive double standard in how the two characters are reacted to… Despite the fact that Yua is a fully mentally matured and developed human adult and Horobi is an AI that has been hacked and brainwashed for the past decade in a way that forcibly stunted his development.

Yua was in a horrid and toxic work environment w/ an abusive boss. Now, admittedly, Gai kept a large amount of his worse deeds from her and to a point one could justify it as her thinking she’s acting for the greater good… Until we get to the part where it becomes abundantly clear she knows very well that what they’re doing is at the least morally questionable… But doesn’t try to defect at all, even to the point of insisting it’s of her own free will. Yes, she had a chip in her head, too, but given her reactions to him torturing Fuwa, she doesn’t seem to have known he could do that, and she didn’t know about Naki, nor did she have an AI drone in her mind. Now this is not to blame Yua—in fact, the point is that she was a victim in a bad situation. Her struggle to get out of there was fairly realistic given her situation. But she had the experience to know that what they were doing was wrong. That makes it tragic in it’s own way, yes, that she was under extreme stress and very conflicted, but she was aware of that. She was a fully developed adult. She deliberately pursued Izu w/ the intention of destroying her, and would have had Gai not said the wrong thing and set Fuwa off. And Izu was frightened and trying to run away. She resists Fuwa’s repeated attempts to snap her out of it.

Rightly so, people noted Yua’s situation, were upset for her and felt bad for her. When there were jackasses saying she should die, people called it out as bad. People were cheering for her to get away from Gai. People were happy when she did. And this includes me. I blocked people I saw shitting on Yua and saying she should die bc what the fuck, guys, she was in a seriously messed up situation.

Once free of Gai, Yua is uncertain what to do and decides to try and ‘make up’ for something she feels responsible for in a rather questionable way. She ends up helping the Ark rise and wreak havoc. Still people recognise that she couldn’t have known that would happen. Poor Yua’s been through a lot.

Meanwhile, Horobi is hacked and brainwashed by the Ark twelve years ago. She uses him to cause Daybreak. He is an AI being controlled by a larger AI designed to control HumaGear like him. Unlike and adult human being pressured and manipulated, he is literally incapable of thinking outside the Ark’s will. The Ark has complete control. Even if he did have any experience to compare w/ before, the Ark erases it. He has no frame of reference besides the Ark, no development of any kind to evaluate his situation w/. Even when Jin becomes important to him, everything is through the lens of the Ark, the Ark is more than a god to him. The brainwashing is so deep that even when disconnected for a bit, he can’t be anything besides blindly devoted. Talks about how the Ark is absolute. When confronted w/ something that causes uncertainty, he goes into a full on mental breakdown—literally, should have been a first clue that emotions were never going to come easy for him.

Eventually, he does end up w/ enough experience to just start to begin to break free. Manages to act completely on his own for the first time in his life—not an instinct that the Ark swooped in to take advantage of, he gets to go through w/ it on his own. And he’s floored. He literally cannot fathom why his body moved on its own, as far as he can tell. Can’t understand the fact that he wanted to do something. This is recognised as a big deal (one of the only times anyone tries to actually talk him out of things, in fact, unlike Yua, where there was a lot of effort). Horobi begins to wonder about things outside the Ark’s will, about himself, which he’s never considered before… Only to have it turn out his son was plotting to have the Ark possess him and then kill him to kill her. This completely upends any development he had. He’s re-hacked and rendered as largely a drone when not being possessed.

Finally, someone decides to put effort into him (kinda…) again. And, in a situation that heavily parallels Yua, he ends up finding it in him to break free of the Ark. Only… Again, a lot like Yua, it’s not a clean break. He’s still stuck w/ the past, the conditioning, and the effects of what happened. Additionally, as later becomes clear, his struggling w/ feeling emotions, which he has been carefully conditioned to reject and have no experience w/, for the first time. He’s mentally unstable and volatile. Now, in the show, what happens is the result of Azu/the Ark’s manipulations and people making poor decisions (and I do think you can make an argument for the fact that the Ark was intentionally keeping Horobi from feeling/having any experience w/ emotions to make him even more of a wreck later on), and poking a very volatile bear (well, a highly traumatised child soldier AI who has no fucking clue what emotions are to the point it feels like an outside being controlling him somehow), he lashes out, and Izu calmly stands there and deliberately takes a hit she very clearly sees coming. General chaos ensues. From Horobi’s perspective, the thing he’s been trained to think will get rid of the uncertainty and emotions etc. not only doesn’t work, but it makes him feel worse, and bc he has no other way he knows how to respond, he becomes more aggressive in rejecting those feelings. And then Jin dies, and he completely breaks down.

The reaction he gets? People calling him evil and horrible and saying he should die. That e’s choosing to do these things. People who talk about how Yua can’t really be held accountable, how she was coerced, look at a literal brainwash victim and say he choose to do those things.

Now, obviously, there are differences, which resulted in the different out comes—obviously the whole, one is a fully developed human adult and the other one is an AI. One was externally conditioned, the other, again, literally brainwashed. One had someone fighting to convince them to break free of their situation on a regular basis, repeatedly, constantly, the other didn’t. Yua was always going to have an easier break than Horobi, bc she had more mental and emotional maturity, but bc of that, esp in regards to actions done whilst under the ‘control’ of others, she has more responsibility for her actions bc she was capable of identifying them as wrong.

Now, of course, both situations are bad for the people involved. Both of them are victims.

But the issue is that people seem to be all over how Yua was a victim, Yua was mistreated… While attacking Horobi (and being upset about Izu dying is one thing, although, again, the person really responsible for that was Azu/th ark(well, Gai for creating her), Horobi was pretty much used as a weapon there, but this is for stuff he did while mind controlled).

And I used Yua just bc she and Horobi had the most parallel responses to their situations. The same goes for being able to see Fuwa as a victim, or Naki (so if Naki is the one who gave Horobi the ZetsumeRise Keys, does that make them responsible for Operation MaGear, or bc they gave Horobi the ForceRiser and said to use it on Jin, are they responsible for that? Bc that’s the logic of blaming Horobi for Daybreak), or Raiden, or even Aruto for that time he got hijacked via MCH. Any of the hacked HumaGear who were turned into MaGear.

Just… The concept of seeing how all of those people are victims in the situation… But blaming Horobi? Like… Not being interested in Horobi is one thing. Obviously, no on is going to be as madly in love w/ him as I am. It’s the act of not recognising him as being a victim while recognising everyone in similar situations as victims. It’s saying he was responsible for Daybreak, treating him like the Ark’s will was his (I’m literally having flashbacks to comments calling Horobi’s whole death ‘Horobi’s plan,’ even though by that point we literally knew the Ark was an entity that existed). Like… They literally confirmed it in show as not being that. Horobi is a mind control victim. What someone’s personal opinion of the character outside of that is another matter. But the fact is that he was mind controlled by the Ark and that the things he did under her control cannot be objectively called things he chose to do. Whether someone thinks he would have chosen them if he weren’t mind controlled… Esp given how all his actions of own choice were about protecting Jin, I personally disagree. But the show has been very explicit that he was mind controlled, and that he had no clue how to handle emotions (to the point he didn’t even seem to know what they are), so being able to understand that all those other people, esp the ones who went through similar things, are victims… But Horobi’s to blame for what he did? That’s just ridiculous.

And don’t even get me started on how anyone could ever see Gai as being a bigger victim than Horobi.

#Firebird Negativity #sorry #I'm not actually in a bad mood really #I just had to get that off my chest #bc it baffles me how people can see how Yua's situation was bad and tragic and she was a victim #but shitting on Horobi #and then saying GAI is more of a victim/tragic…#literally I stand by my view that they somehow switched the 'cores' of Gai and Horobi's storylines #and it's FRUSTRATING #but also blaming Horobi for stuff like Daybreak…#hey remember when Aruto literally called Gai the 'one responsible for the Ark' and I'm pretty sure said that for Daybreak too…#bc that happened #bc GAI CAUSED DAYBREAK

October Media Madness!

It’s the last day of the month, so you know what that means! What-no not Halloween! It’s time to see how one person wasted their time this month by keeping track of all the media they consumed! And if you thought October would mean a lot of horror movies and books and TV shows...you are going to be very disappointed because I’m a fucking wimp who hates horror.

September media

Movies!

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: Scott Pilgrim, aka the most intentionally unlikable protagonist ever, has to defeat the seven evil ex-boy...uh I mean exes of the cool girl he’s dating. Yeah, I’m super late to the Edgar Wright party, but since this movie was finally available on Netflix I figured it was time. And it’s pretty good aside from the fact that Scott is the worst. But at least he owns up to it in the end. It’s crazy over the top ridiculous, has tons of little details that film theorists love to salivate over, and Scott’s roommate Wallace is hilarious. I just wish I could hear what Michael Cera says half the time. Oh well, there’s nothing good or bad I can say about this movie that hasn’t been said before. 8/10

Coraline: Coraline Jones, an imaginative young girl with inattentive parents who has just moved into a new apartment, discovers a secret door that leads to a world where everything is better, and everyone has buttons for eyes. However, under the perfect exterior, things are more sinister than they seem. I got the urge to re-watch this because it’s freaking October, and although I don’t watch horror movies, I felt obligated to watch something at least kind of Halloween-ish. And I stand by my long held opinion that this is the all time creepiest movie marketed for children ever made. Literally everything about this movie is creepy. There’s creepy music, creepy dolls being made and following people around, creepy cats, creepy people with buttons for eyes, creepy ghosts of children, creepy children with their mouths shown shut...the list is endless. And Laika never fails to make beautifully animated stop motion. 9/10

Sierra Burgess is a Loser: The latest film in Netflix’s attempt to dominate the rom-com genre, in which an unpopular high school girl ends up texting a handsome jock while leading him to believe he is texting a gorgeous cheerleader named Veronica who also goes to her school.

Okay, this isn’t a bad movie, so let me start with the good. I appreciate the message of how you need to make yourself stand out to colleges and how high school in general is becoming a toxic competitive environment. There’s a lot of good material about living up to expectations and stereotypes, both from Sierra’s side and her partner in crime Veronica’s. And speaking of Veronica, I was completely blindsided by how much of a great character she was and how much she grew throughout the film. I also liked Sierra’s best friend and the love interest, even if they were a little generic.

That being said...I didn’t like Sierra. When main characters intentionally lead people on for no good reason (and thinking some guy you’ve just met isn’t going to text you back because you’re not “conventionally attractive” is not a good reason) it annoys the hell out of me. Not only does she lie through texting him, but she and Veronica lie to his face multiple times. She also does something really horrible to Veronica because of a misunderstanding that could have been avoided if she taken five seconds to use some common sense. She also thinks she’s above doing a simple homework assignment for her poetry class because she wants to be different. I realize she needs to stand out in order to get recommendations for college, but come on. And finally, when she’s upset about how she looks, she blames her parents because her mom is attractive??? Yes it is frustrating to have these brilliant “conventionally attractive” parents, but they always try to build her up, as opposed to Veronica’s mother who only tears her down. I DID NOT HATE HER CHARACTER, but I think she could have been portrayed better. The other major thing that bothered me is that there is the complete lack of proper conflict resolution. All the problems and hurt feelings just magically go away in order to have a happy ending. Overall, the movie’s just okay. 7/10

Howl’s Moving Castle: Sophie, an ordinary girl who gets cursed by a witch, turns into an old woman and ends up working for a wizard who steals hearts. It feels like Studio Ghibli’s version of beauty and the beast, except Howl is the beauty with a questionable personality, and Sophie is the “beast” who whips him into shape...until the second half of the movie anyway. I’d prefer to watch an entire movie of old woman Sophie interacting with the other characters rather than deal with the war aspect of the plot. Anyway, the animation is awesome, and I appreciate the English voice cast...except for the fact that no one had the good sense to use Crispin Freeman as Howl instead of just having him as Turnip-Head! I know lots of people have talked about the differences between the book and the movie, but I like how the movie portrays that even though being old is physically painful, it can also be emotionally freeing. Either way I think Sophie is a great character with a fun sense of humor! 8/10

First Man: The story of Neil Armstrong and the years leading up to the moon landing...which apparently a lot of people didn’t like? Some people are butthurt about there not being a shot of planting the flag (which if they actually saw the movie they would know the focus of the scenes on the moon were to show Armstrong dealing with wonder and grief, NOT rallying together as Americans). Some people are unhappy that an American hero can be portrayed so negatively, and some people just thought it was boring and dragged a lot…

Okay, yes, the movie is a drama that does not portray Armstrong in a glowing light, and yes there are certain scenes that go on too long. BUT I really liked this movie...and this is coming from someone who doesn’t like Ryan Gosling. It is a family drama that captures how different people respond to grief and stress set in the backdrop of the space race. I also liked learning about this period in history and the controversy around the space program in general. It was beautifully shot and had very creative music choices, which was the main reason I saw it in theaters. I came away from it awed and terrified that we basically sent these people to the moon in freaking tin cans, and that in the sixties men shunned their emotions so much that they wouldn’t hug their children before going to space! Overall, it was good in a solid way, but it did drag a bit. 7.5/10

Mama Mia: Another protagonist named Sophie is getting married and invites the three men who could each possibly be her father to the wedding. But who cares about the plot, the main purpose of the film is to show women having fun with their friends! This movie...isn’t exactly good, but it 100% knows what it wants to be and accomplishes that. It’s a wacky, ridiculous, musical romp that people only watch with their friends when they’re plastered because they want to hear ABBA songs. It’s the very definition of a guilty pleasure movie, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I will say that it’s harder for me to relate to because I don’t have friends that I act this ridiculous with, and sometimes it gets to be a bit much. Although, I have seen the Broadway musical and remember absolutely loving every minute of it...so maybe it’s just the movie overplaying it. Oh well, it’s just something fun to have on in the background or watch when you need cheering up! It’s a 9/10 for being accomplishing what it wants and a 6/10 as an actual movie.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: In this Marvel filler episode between Infinity War and Captain Marvel, Scott is under house arrest and Hope tries to get her mother out of the quantum realm. Okay, this was a fun movie with some great moments, but it definitely had its issues. For a movie called Ant-Man and the Wasp, the two did not do much fighting together...or at all until the end. It felt more like an origin to their partnership than a team up movie (and I’d rather have a Wasp and Black Widow team up movie...or all the Marvel women team up movie). It also couldn’t figure out who the villain should be. It’s like they realized half way through writing it that Ghost was way too sympathetic and cool and had to come up with a bunch of more forgettable villains. And because this was more of a hot potato rather than a heist, I didn’t think it was as fun as the first movie overall. HOWEVER I still really enjoyed the inventive action and the characters. I will always watch 2 hours of Evangeline Lilly kicking ass, and Paul Rudd being himself. And I am convinced that Marvel is using The Adventure Zone route of needing competent women to solve everyone’s problems. But the heart of the movie is really family. Hank and Hope, Scott and his daughter, and even Ghost all had very compelling stories that drew me in every time. And that post credits scene...I knew it was coming, but come on! Marvel is the only current studio who can basically do a horror movie “The End…?” in their credits now. 7.5/10

The Chronicles of Narnia-The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe: The Disney version of the classic C.S. Lewis book; come on we all know the story. Okay, I watched this for the first time in several years because I also read the book this month. And holy cow, when you see what material the movie had to work with, this is a freaking masterpiece. It takes a very simple children’s book and turns it into an epic fantasy! The score, the little details, and the setting are all perfect. All the characters are so real and fleshed out AND ACCURATELY PORTRAYED FOR THEIR AGES! All four siblings are struggling with something, and the actors do a great job considering they were actual children while making this! I am so angry that Disney let this property’s potential slip through their fingers because I truly believe that if they kept making movies like this, it could have been their Harry Potter by now. Prince Caspian was also excellent, though I don’t remember much of Dawn Treader, but I think if they put the money and effort into continuing this franchise it could have been great.

One thing I don’t appreciate about the movie is how they reduce Edmund’s mental journey. I have always especially loved Edmund as a character, and something the movie fails to mention is the fact that APPARENTLY in the book the Turkish Delight is enchanted to make whoever eats it think only of eating more and more until THEY EAT SO MUCH THAT THEY DIE?! He’s not just a greedy kid. And there’s a lot more to his time with the Witch that makes his actions easier to understand. Anyway it definitely goes down as one of the best book to movie adaptations I’ve ever seen, and it is on my very short list of movies that are better than the books. 10/10

Books!

The Chronicles of Narnia- The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis: It’s the first Narnia book; we all know the plot. I am one of the many people who had this series read to them as a kid, but it’s been like...eleven years since I actually read these books for myself. Even then I only got to The Horse and His Boy before stopping because it was boring as hell. I’ve been wanting to re-read the series all year, and with only the Disney movies in recent memory, imagine my surprise when I found out that Lewis’s writing style is absolutely bananas! I think he’s acting as some omniscient narrator, but his style is so stream of consciousness it’s hilarious! He constantly addresses the audience in these 2007 fanfiction author-esque asides. The Pevensies are the most posh, old-timey sounding British kids ever, and it’s amazing to visualize children that actually speak like this. Everything happens so quickly because it is 100% meant to be a children’s story, not this epic adventure we all associate with the movies. So...if you’ve never read it before definitely check it out just to discover how utterly wild everything is. My only real complaint is that it’s kinda sexist, and no one except for Edmund gets a character arc. Even though Susan gets a bow and Lucy gets a dagger, they’re treated like they shouldn’t be fighting because they’re girls and not...oh I don’t know...because they’re children! 7/10

The Ladies Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzie Lee: The second installment of...idk...the “Guide” series? I talked about the first book, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue in my May Media Madness, and this book is just as good! This series takes place in the 1700s, and while the first book follows arrogant bisexual disaster Monty, his (boy)friend Percy, and his sister Felicity through a romp across Europe, this book follows Felicity and her friends on a...let’s just say “scientific expedition” involving pirates. The less you know about the plot going in the better. And did I mention her friends include a badass Muslim pirate princess and an Elle Woods-esque dog loving naturalist? And also did I mention Felicity is CANONICALLY revealed as ARO/ACE?! It’s strongly hinted at in the first book, and in this book Mackenzi Lee basically shoves any doubt about it out the window. It’s fun, hilarious, and also heartbreaking at the same because of all the challenges each character faces because they’re ambitious women in this time period. Sometimes it feels a little heavy handed in its feminist messages, but you can’t deny it’s not accurate. I’m really only saying that because I am a woman, and the struggles are nothing I haven’t seen or read before. Anyway, this is a fantastic series that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun read, and it gets bonus points for including Monty and Percy being disgustingly in love together! 1000/10

Dear Evan Hansen the Novel by Val Emmich (and also Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul):

Buckle up.

I really love the Dear Evan Hansen musical (which I talked about in my August Media Madness.) The novel is almost a word for word adaptation of the musical, in which Evan, a teenager with anxiety, writes a letter to himself that is stolen by a boy who commits suicide, leading everyone to believe Evan and the boy, Connor, were best friends because they assume Connor wrote the letter to Evan. There is a lot I could say about this adaptation, but the number one thing is: I really don’t know if people who haven’t seen the musical or heard the soundtrack will like it as much. The strength of Dear Evan Hansen is mainly in its performances and its music, and while they tried to work the music in as best they could, I enjoyed the story more because I can link it back to the actors’ performances. Yes, the story is interesting and the message is important, but I honestly don’t know how much people going in blind will like the writing and how the characters are portrayed. Overall, it seemed like a well written fanfic- in a good way, not a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child way. That being said, I did really enjoy a lot of things about this book. They expanded on a lot about Evan’s relationship with his absent father and the aftermath of the big lie. They also expanded on a lot about Connor…

I honestly don’t know how I feel about Ghost Connor. Yes, I’m glad Connor shows up as a ghost in the book. What he doesn’t do is ACTUALLY INTERACT WITH EVAN...LIKE AT ALL! The best parts of the show are when Connor, as a figment of Evan’s imagination acts as a comedic buffer and his “moral center.” However, here ghost Connor exists to give snippets of Connor’s life. He barely comments on what Evan is doing at all even though he sees everything. All of Connor’s sections made me feel like the author was going through the DEH tag on AO3 and picking things to throw in. I liked his sections, but the writers really missed the more entertaining story of having Connor actually commenting about the shit Evan is doing.

So overall, I’d say watch the musical if you can find a bootleg, or at least listen to the soundtrack and then read the book. It was very enjoyable, although I think the ending dragged a bit in its quest to give more closure than the musical. 8.5/10

Bonus Manga

Shimanami Tasogare: Tasuku Kaname, a closeted boy starting his first year of high school meets a mysterious woman named Anonymous who helps him finds solace in a lounge run by other members of the LGBT+ community. This is the kind of manga that really hits and misses for me. It does a great job at portraying the struggles of a community with different sexualities and gender identities, and it has some really great characters and beautiful moments that I really think would be even better animated. But there are some character arcs that I feel are really...incomplete. It feels like the author was rushed into finishing the manga and did the best they could, but certain characters come off as major hypocrites or suddenly act like their arcs never happened. I also appreciate having an asexual character play such a big role, but the chapter where she talks about her identity as a person is just kind of...bizarre. Not to mention I barely understood what was happening for the first couple chapters because everything Anonymous says is so vague. There’s a lot I could say about this manga, but really I think it’s something everyone should read for themselves (and you’ll definitely need your tissue boxes). 8/10

TV Shows!

Arrested Development: “The story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.” Aka Ron Howard narrates the shenanigans of the worst people you’ll ever see. Yes, I finally got around to watching this, and yes the first three seasons are hilarious. It’s got the same beats as a soap opera (twins, adoption, losing limbs in seal attacks), but in a sitcom format it’s genius. The fourth and fifth (or at least what there is of the fifth) are just nothing special in my opinion. I thought the fourth season was structured terribly, and once the family starts getting into politics the show tries to be a form of satire that just doesn’t work for it. Plus I live with a family of Trump supporters; so it’s not as funny when you have to live with the racist people the show is making fun of who take all the “wall” stuff seriously. 8/10

Documental: A Japanese...social experiment/documentary/game show type thing on Amazon Prime wherein 10 comedians all get locked in a room together and attempt to make each other laugh without laughing themselves. The twist is each of them contribute 1 million yen to play, and the winner gets the pot of 10 million yen. In the first season, the show is more interesting as a social experiment than it is funny. You’ll like it if you like Japanese comedy. But the thing about Japanese comedy is...well, just picture an episode of Osomatsu-san, with all the disgusting and bizarre shit they do, and then picture real people. Though I do love seeing the faces everyone makes when they’re trying not to laugh! HOWEVER, the second season is so much better. I was laughing so much every episode that it hardly felt like the same show. They also changed the format a little so there would definitely be a winner at the end of the time. There’s still gross weird shit, but it’s a much better season. I give season 1 a 6/10 and season 2 an 8.5/10

Over the Garden Wall: In case you’ve been skipping the entire season of autumn since 2014, OTGW is a 10 episode miniseries that aired on Cartoon Network detailing the journey of two brothers Wirt and Greg who are lost in a mysterious wood called “The Unknown.” But really the whole thing is like a stuck in Purgatory story. It’s one of those shows that goes from adorable and funny to dark as fuck real quick. I think it’s impossible to go through the fall season without watching this at least once. This is another one of those things where there’s nothing I can say about it that hasn’t already been said. The atmosphere is perfect for Halloween, the characters are great (Elijah Wood voices Wirt, and it’s the best), and there are so many hidden clues that after it aired we all demanded a Gravity Falls crossover…

I could go on. This show is perfect except for the unnecessarily silly school teacher episode...and fact that it goes by too fast...and also the fact that now I know Elijah Wood has an adorable singing voice, and I’m salty that he didn’t really sing in Lord of the Rings. This is the atmospheric “watch it once a year” type of show that we desperately need more of...it doesn’t have to be the same characters or even have the same messages, but dang it Cartoon Network you can’t just give us this masterpiece and walk away!!! 10/10

Yuri On Ice: Yes, the figure skating anime. This is Tumblr so I doubt I need to post the summary of the show, but I do talk about it in my Hufflepuff Anime recommendations post. Since I couldn’t watch the Yuri On Ice marathon (which was coincidentally held on my birthday!) I decided to have my own dang marathon. There’s just so much to love about this anime: the music, the animation, the characters, the diversity, the humor, and the accuracy to the sport. But I think the main reason I love this show so much is because, as someone who watches a lot of sports anime, I really appreciate this show doing something different and focusing on ADULTS WHO ACTUALLY RELY ON THE SPORT AS A CAREER and using drama that way instead of the main source of angst being “we have to win the match for our senpai!” This is one of those shows you can watch a million times and still find new things to love! 10/10

Podcasts!

I don’t know why I made a separate section for this, since I only listened to one.

Hey Riddle Riddle: A podcast with three hosts that go talk about riddles and puzzles (aka puzzies and riddies) and role play various ridiculous answers to them. I started listening to it because Justin McElroy was on an episode, and it was pretty funny. The podcast is interesting and entertaining, except for the fact that sometimes their role playing and improve can go on for too long, and they don’t know when to let a joke die. Also one of the co-hosts is really annoying, but the other two make up for it. 8/10

Honorable Mentions

Camp Camp released a Halloween episode called Arrival of the Torso Takers and I watched it...probably four times...I don’t have a problem.

Some shows I watch on actual television came back this fall! Bob’s Burgers, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Fresh Off the Boat, Speechless, Modern Family (yes I still watch that), and The Good Place!

I don’t know if this was a leak or what, but there’s a new My Little Pony christmas Hearthswarming special, and guys...I thought it was pretty great. Say what you want about this show, but it knows how to do holiday episodes. Anyone who has been a fan for a long time or even fans who have fallen off the show will probably love it. It’s very sweet and never went in the direction I thought it would.

And last but not least, shout out to all the anime coming out this fall...there’s just...so much to watch...please help...

Fic Writers Week 2017 - Day 1

Words of Validation - As a reader, give some feedback. As a writer share some of your favorite comments.

Reader I will be the first to admit: I am bad at giving feedback. I consume fanfiction daily, but the habit of commenting is not one that has stuck with me easily. Sure, sure. In a moment, when talking directly to Pocket FriendsTM, I can give feedback. But alone at 3am, laying in bed? It’s not a thing that happens. That being said, I wanted to highlight some of my absolute always-go-back-to fics that I’ve probably never commented on, but adore (that are limited to Wayhaught and Bechloe fics, atm, because sitting here sifting through the toxic love affair I had with G*** is too much).

Open Range Hearts by thewaywedo33 / @thewaywedo33 (Wayhaught) First of all, this is magnificent. Your story, admittedly, got me into Wayhaught. I’d been seeing it on my dash and I went over to ao3 and was, like, what even is there to read? The answer was... not much. But this fic was there and I opened it hesitantly and damn. I don’t like horses. If I never meet a horse by its first name, I’ll be glad. But the world you created, keeping all of the characters in their lanes and dropping them into this what-Purgatory-could-be environment (because I can totally see it as a running farm) is just amazing. You have such a way with words that I find myself going back to the scene in the barn where they give in and I live that moment - Nicole’s pleading for Waverly to stop doing this thing that neither of them can control, Waverly’s hot and cold confusion. Also, the hat falling to the ground? I don’t know why I love that single detail so much, but I do. (I think it’s because - and I’m so guilty of this myself, until I reread a few times - people forget things like that? It’s like a math problem. If a woman is wearing a cowboy hat, and a second women launches herself at the first with a velocity of attraction, is she wearing a hat by the time their lips touch?)

Tripping, Stumbling, Flipping, Fumbling by TheGaySmurf / @iamthegaysmurf (Wayhaught) Let me make a list of the things I love about this fic, in no particular order: the vague opening where you’re like, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY NICOLE?!; Doc letting it slip; Waverly being like, rules, what rules? Let me back there; the hilarious series of unfortunate events that Nicole experiences, THE FACE THAT IT HAPPENED WHILE HOLDING AN ‘ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN’ BINDER; and just the love. I love the love.

if we never take the first step (let’s get a move on) by socallmedaisy / @socallmedaisy (Wayhaught) I’m sure (I hope) that I gushed about this fic to you, directly, but I also want to leave a comment, because it’s beautiful. Immediately, I love the way Wynonna’s whiskey makes her forget to whisper. I love the way Waverly slides in and makes that soft ache in Nicole’s chest (she knows Wynonna doesn’t like, cue the Han Face) disappear. AND THEN WYNONNA CALLS NICOLE A HERO and the spot in my heart, the one for the WynHaught bromance, it lights up like a fireworks display. Honestly, the whole thing is just what I needed and it settles in my chest like a good hug, if that makes sense. When they finally get to those three words, it feels like all of this up and down and crazy life they lead is worth it. You make it feel like it’s worth it. Also, the visual of Nicole with a sleeping baby on her chest is just... it’s magical.

heaven talks (but not to me) by belikeabumblee / @belikebumblebee I love this story. I love the relationship-building between Wynonna and Nicole. I love the way Nicole steps back and gives Waverly the space she needs, that she comforts her and feeds her, and then at the same time, is not afraid to verbalize that Waverly needs to get her shit together. I love when relationships are shown this: when one person gives the other space to grieve, to come to terms with a big truth, but doesn’t let them sink themselves in that pit of despair; when one person steps up and says, I know you think you need this but I know you and you need to do that before you can move on from this. I love when people talk to each other and you had them talk so beautifully, so honestly. I just... I love this story.

stare into the sky until we’re blind by lescousinsdangereux (Bechloe) YOU DID A ROAD TRIP FIC. Okay, but I need you to know: the part where they get out of a speeding ticket was, hands down, one of my favorite things about this fic. I feel like Beca is written so... restrained? And the way she’s so obviously flustered here is fantastic. Additionally, the way you picked the moment Chloe falls for Beca to be when she’s rapping is such a perfect throwback to the shock and then delight on Chloe’s face in the first movie, when she starts going with ‘No Diggity.’ Just the choices you made, plot- and word-wise are fantastic, magnificent, and now I’m re-reading this from start to finish.

You Still Make Sense To Me (Your Mess Is Mine) by wherehopelies (Bechloe) This hits all of my trope weaknesses - fake dating, roommates to girlfriends, getting a pet. I mean, this fic was, like, written specifically for me, I’m pretty sure. I just want to thank you for making me fall in love with a dog named Potato (and giving him an godmother). I want to thank you for having absolutely no one be surprised about Beca and Chloe finally dating. I want to thank you for the delicious slow burn that is these two idiots being in love without knowing their in love. Also also also, your use of David Guetta is 10/10 and, like, I don't know how you pulled that off without making it super cheesy, but you did.

Forgive Me These November Days by obstinate_questionings (Bechloe) I read this often. I’m not going to lie. I read this frequently. I love love love love the way you write Chloe, specifically. I love the way you explore the way she thinks and the way she acts. I especially love how in-character she feels, especially because in the film, her character traits are very fleeting and hard to grab onto. I’ve seen people pull out the party-girl trait and run with that. But this Chloe? The one you’ve built from a few small character-building scenes in the movie? My heart aches. Also, this is the best Chloe-Aubrey friendship I’ve ever read. Ever. And I will continue to come back to this fic again and again and again.

Writer One of my favorite things about posting a story is refreshing my email. I love waking up the morning after posting a story and opening my email and seeing comments from people who read it while I was sleeping. There are so many amazing people who comment, but I just want to pull out a few that really stuck in my ribs over the last few weeks.

swagche on live our lives together day by day

Reading this one was like buying a new album from your favorite band and just being perfectly reminded why you fell in love with them in the first place while enjoying their growth.

I JUST REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES.

I read this sentence over and over again and decided it’s the best damn compliment I could have ever received. It immediately reminded me of, like,��

jaguarspot on yesterday and days before (sun is cold and rain is hard)

For an 80s music AU, this one had almost no music, which is fitting seeing as a part of the music in their lives just faded

Writing this Curtangst was just as hard as I’m assuming it was to read it. This series has become so much a part of my life (you think I’m kidding but right now, Survivor’s Vital Signs is blasting on my cassette player for the fifth time today) that it was so important to set Curtis up and to make his death resonate across all of the characters who interacted with him daily, who mattered to him. To be honest, Curtis plays such a large part of their musical history (which you guys will see eventually) that having someone nail it head of the head so perfectly... It floored me. It absolutely floored me.

forgetthesun on it's like i wrote every note with my own fingers

Is this your opus? Your heart and soul has poured into every crevice of this story. I haven't stayed up until 2am reading fic for years but this, this kept me awake all night. And the music was to die for.

It felt like a combination of a love story to 80s music/movies and to the middle era of fic - how exactly did you pull off a songfic btw? I was a bit late to the Wayhaught party and hadn't been interested in reading about them before I saw there was a story written by you.

It must be over ten years now that I've been reading your work and I haven't once been disappointed. Even back in the angst days there was always a level of hope in your stories (however deep it might have been buried) and it's wonderful to read your more recent pieces where the balance of angst to hope has been tipped on its head.

I'm so looking forward to reading the rest of this series and listening to all those wonderful mixtapes! Nicole's anxiety over getting those tapes right was so perfect. It had my fingers itching to hit the buttons of a dual deck again.

I love this comment for many reasons. I joined fandom at such a young age, that I’ve already been in ‘the game’ for... ten years? Definitely longer. It’s probably actually more like twelve, to be honest. (Which is why I see fandom ‘grandma’ posts and laugh, because, like I am one.) Anyway, what is so cool about fandom, and one of the things I love about this comment, is that forgetthesun is right - they started reading my work nearly ten years ago. Back when all we had were glances and lingering brushes of hands and people created worlds from a .02 second moment in time. My work used to be angst, angst, angst. And I’m so fucking grateful someone followed me out of that dark time to now, to better days. (I’m also looking at you, @iamthegaysmurf.) The other reason I love this comment is because they’re right; this is my opus. I have - and continue to - put so, so much of myself into this. I also put so much of Smurf into it, as well. I feel like out of everything I’ve ever written, this one just... feels different. It feels like more. It feels like everything. (Also, dude, if I knew how in the hell I pulled off a songfic, I would send myself back in time and rewrite all the songfics I ever did, I swear to god.)

tl;dr - go back and read it, you cowards (I say, with affection)

The Clone Wars The Zillo Beast Strikes Back

(Season 2 Episode 19)

I really thought the first episode was surprisingly good and I hope the quality con- tin ue s;

Moving on; Cost ly- Recap, getting real deep into the details ...... Good that shows commitment to the story .. And attention to the (good) details

. . [Also how yeah are they going to transport that beast?]

Who said spent a little more time explaining it to the natives [Why they needed a dead beast]

Still good still good,

Pretty

Okay

“Tensions Run high,”

Hey, that’s a reasonable reaction,

(They’re going to put extra security on it?)

How long till it breaks out.

[I mean thing might look tiny]

Look at all those buildings

[also this will be a nice scale

We really didn’t get much of it

On the desert planet

Cause there were no buildings around

After the destruction

(Neat Detail-)

That one trooper’s really excited

You think you want to be a zoo-logist?

Neat

Spiky and big but sleepy

Uhm. (Cute)

(Oh you stop with that death music it’s adorable)

As are most animals

Though that’s likely more so anticipation music . . So it’s Fine

But just look at ‘em,

Ador-able !

(I’m sorry I cannot take this seriously with him sleeping so peacefully)

Good for ‘em

*em

[Oh yeah [just] bring the Chancellor here.

Is he going to get Donkey Kong-ed? i’m sorry but just the idea. .

Of Sidious held hostage By a giant beast, On top of a building..

It’s just so hilarious.

(Not to mention his force lightning powers) Baby [An-imal] Possib ly . Okay, Right, Why would they stop.

Aight —- Okay - Good Ideas - A-ight.

Whelp, Good

Uhm, Right,

Okay ,

Now, Right,

Wh- Elp,

Uhm, Okay,

Right,

Nice

Okay

Chancellor isn’t having it

Look

At him

You ruined his evil diatribe, Windu

He isn’t having that “you should assume some accountability” argument..

Ruining the giant monster plot- - with his logic

Good times

[Palpatine’s going to dismiss him rudely isn’t he?

He’s pissed - Terrible war

Note; how he said nothing about the beast safety

Which is Windu’s main concern

[and his earlier gaslighting of Windu’s conscience

*Put Down * ? .

^ ^

Nice

Sleepy. .

Bean. (Pet Name- Light ly.]

Any way!

[There’s the scientist.]

Seems Nice.

She doesn’t have au-thority

Nor Do You. “Good care,”

Nice

Mace Is Humanitarian towards Ani- mals-

-also can we stop calling at the “beast”?

It’s an animal?

[’Beast’ is for when it’s attacking you And it’s not fully identified]

And it’s adorable

[as well as has an already established name]

[i’ll say call it whatever you want but this is assumed authority, And whoever names it first is king . . . . Seriously ? does no one care for it as a cute fluffy animal? (I know it’s scaly my point stands)

Like seriously everyone’s viewing it as a resource

[Makes me sad]

Starting to think that one clone trooper Should be in charge,

He at least seem-ed to give a -shit

Well treated

As a resource

Windu; i’m calling bullshit but alright

[is he going to spring him?

*em

I want Windu to spring ‘em for environmental justice

Ok, how long does the plotting bullshit goes down and they start tearing the scales off the thing?

Ma-jestic

He’s calling Heavy.. bullshit

Good for Windu..

(I like this character .very much.)

Nope [Death Music .]

Big

Good - Aight

Uhm .. Bu- ld

Obi-Wan shut up

[You are the worst character]

Not in character design

Just in being the absolute .worst.

Great

Neat

Al- right-

I mean- he could be studying it to find which climate would be best for it - I mean you can’t just drop a random Non native- Life Form - Onto a random planet- and Hope for the best-

And this is the closest thing to safe neutral controlled territory . . . that they have

So make sense that they bring him here to figure it out

[The chancellor able to manage who they have treaties with and which planets are inhabited

[and what uninhabited planets could be possibly viable environment . . . . Re-hom-ing locations-

For him *em

*Effort*

Oh yeah not worth the effort to make sure the very rare species doesn’t dare

[this is why you’re the fucking worst.]

In.uni.

Any Way-

Well that was a calm way of saying, He didn’t give me an explanation . . . Which is understandable and A pretty decent response,

. Try

Wait what?

Can we re-wind that again? ... Obi-Wan - no - All he said

“was that he didn’t get an answer,”

He-

Do not escalate the situation.

Do not send Anakin to badger the chancellor.

[If Windu wants to escalate the situation he will,]

You are not the responsible [least Toxic] Adult

Please just let Windu handle it

[I love how they cut away like you know Windu’s rolling his eyes

[Obi-won-

“]

]

Well, not too bad just seems tired

Planet acclim- ation - Or the sed- atives - Will do that to you)

Though admittedly it could be a less in-vasive environment-

With more com-patibility-

What?

Oh No!

[Don’t hold the fluffy bean!]

What is going on exactly?

Like don’t get me wrong I know there’s

slight discomfort

But how bad-

[like is what they inserted into them a sedative?

Enough,

Good-

That’s Good

But seriously

If you’re going to study an animal you shouldn’t do shit like that

Passive observation

Seeing if it sheds

Perhaps, Getting Samples

The only time those things to be taken off - ... them ... is upon death - with respect to the life cycle, And, the decomposition cycle-

Not going-

Toxic excessive-

And causing - pain

Sentient Bean-

Oh No.

Oh it is picking things up relatively quickly,

Surprisingly quickly,

figuring out that this was the one to Yell at ... despite there being Mryaid Of possibilities,

And would usually focus on the,

Pain- ful Ones,

Com

So take a small scrape sample. off the scales

Like you straight up tried to rip off the scales. ... Armor-

And not the Jedi’s?

Just thought -in the pecking order they’d be lower

Under tanks and

shielding

And protection to the higher ups ...

Centurion Armor.

First

Ok how about you don’t..

Or send her to the planet and wait to see if she sheds.

Like,no

Until the bean ... is dead (Un fortunate)

You can’t- be doing- .... Stuff- Like That-

- What the fuck?

Also; mace Windu a thousand miles away; I hope the fuck you do you be a dead son of a bitch,

Lady, just call the Jedi

Mace Windu is clearly an environmental - animalistic focus - Have him insta kick this bitch

(Which he can as his specialty)

Call tox

*Like Medic

And kick the bitch to accountability

* or semi accountability in this case

(’Cause if you get caught with a Spoon- -”

Pr-otest

Good

Mace Windu - Has a teammate-

Intelligent

Oh no-

Oh noo

That could’ve been possibly meant

“I thought that was just an extraneous detail”

👍

Animal

You’ve been calling it a Beast this whole time

Also, damn look at those sad eyes!

That Things 100% Sent.

You can’t do that!

Ok I need to plot this out

This living creature-

Is sentient enough To Un-der Stand

Lan-guage

And feel pain

Let me just play a few scene so I get the morality right

So, dude’s sleeping under ground,

(Those guys apparently just . Got injured by its sleeping movements,)

Then

It finds some guy

Tries to get it off him (Reasonable)

Those two guys flee (After Anakin spent multiple occasions getting in it’s way..

Clearly un-wonton and un-wanted

So clearly going over the “don’t bug others rule,”

Then these guys -definitely heck with it

By throwing bombs, And generally breaking every (rule). The liquid thing is kind of weird

That being the equivalent of pumping planet waste material Poison) So it pretty well fits under the attempt of harm /murder

And the guards clearly attempt to murder it.

So immediate accountability is in play

But they try to kill them

(Note I know the situation is bad but it’s Immediate Accountability

Not immediate death

(However, it’s really weird with non humans)

(Or even just humanoids,)

Because I know what another human could do

Humanoids have the same about structure

With minor ex -cessive- differences?

Like- how

(The standards are really different here)

I’m not sure she could have even picked them up without hurting them.

I really hope we get to see her talk

So we can get more info

Because that’s really fascinating.

Co-mment

Hey it noted that! ... That’s -really neat

[Also geez that must suck, Having to be moved from your planet... Against your will and things that you might not be able prevent. . Because some asshole won’t share the damn planet,

And everyone else is enabling.

(It’s the frozen planet thing All over again .but better.] This time the species might not actually have an option,

But doesn’t negate - it’s sentience,

Kill

Dude, seriously,

Like I’m not a fan of it but you could just sedate them,

Turn the fuel wanted some kind of solid (Point)

And

Argh-

(It brings me no moral pleasure to say this)

Cut the scales from the skin-

Without, too much pain

Assume

(Still should not do it)

Monster

(Also lady just call the Jedi)

You know one who’s against it

You don’t even have to mention the chancellor by name

Just say some crazy orders got brought down the line

And you need -some help

Oof

‘She ain’t having your bullshit’

Right

Okay

Whelp

Good scene setting.

You really feel how out of place Anakin is, -

Oof

The music’s really nice

Really helps set the scene

And the height Just-

Perfect (Sets a beautiful set of risk)

Oof and Obi-Wan questioning Am-idala

(The costume choice works very nicely here- Causing Amidala to stand out, From the variety, But still have the kind of muted sense of the situation,

(Lot of other senators wearing purple (-though more solid)

And the lighting is pretty nice too,

Looking pretty naturally with the setting-

Oh, no,

Aw, that’s kind of nice

A good bit of levity

(Possibly parodying the masters, Amidala and Anakin technically)

(Anakin did build CP3PO though)

Aight, Nice,

Pro B-

You know that actually would make sense

I was actually expecting the more blow it up solution

But just trying bugging the Senator (Chancellor) Palpatine . Is a pretty good (non-escala tory) First step . . . .

That would just let Senator Amidala see it, assuming she wouldn’t have an issue; and wouldn’t notice the smell rift. .. - Male-stare

‘ Mace Windu told you to leave it alone and let him handle it, And you decided fuck that I’mma gonna screw things up, Didn’t You?”

Ch-ancellor

Oh that’s actually a smart plan - Gang up on the chancellor . Never mind A second pair of eyes might be helpful in case he tries that hologram shit again,

(Never mind the fact that Ami-dala- doesn’t go missing under mysterious circumstances,”

It’s a good plan

Kinda

That’s- pretty damn fair- - Voice- - That’s- a little too environmental but I get the point

(As in it’s ignoring the fact that the Zilla beast does have a voice, Just no one‘s listening

Or reading its body language, Like a good sentient would

(The issue is it’s accountability -The ability to hold others accountable-

Which it doesn’t seem to be capable of doing to the fine degree of other humans-

Other humanoids-

“ Be it’s accountability,” Is More accurate a phras- ing

Also geez can you imagine that sit-uation?

Like either force-d to kill another sentient species or be submitted to this?

I give the Zilla beast a lot of damn credit-

For the re-straint

Real shit . .. Sit-

Neither have you,

Seen your -self

In action!

Like yeah dude you pull out a laser sword, When someone threatens you,

(Pretty damn unaccountable)

At least the Zilla beast has a damn good excuse,

Life

Yep-

Warr ant a discussion

No, It warrants the envir-onmental focus- Kicking the offender, Straight to accoun-tability And every one else, Lea-ving the damn thing alone, (Bastards) .... ?

I mean-

That’s kinda fair-

Heck not every- one-

Heck- not every generation- Has an environmental focus

And, animals are damn weird-

But- I’m going to say if you see a puppy kicked- You should tell that dude to fuck off,

And no I do not resent that-

Even if it’s food

(Which no one should be messing with in the first place)

But fair-

Chan-cellor

Still don’t like this-

Stop being a complaining dick and eit -her do it or don’t-

Oh does he have a hesitation from his previous experience?

Secrets do not stay secret

Mate you deployed the military, Who have to answer to the council,

Not to mention all of the Internal law and military enforcement On planet That saw this shit go down

(Would probably be defensive of you holding a dead creature)

Also yeah it’s Obi-Wan’s fault

(How he knows about something he didn’t witness. Idk, Guess someone told him.”

Anakin?

What- ever.

Aight

Called out

No the point of democracy is to form a hierarchy of authority And with some people’s decision matters more than others There was very little ability to self determined,

And often times ends up just arguing over basic human decency,

Doesn’t have to involve subterfuge

But things can escalate for the worst with toxic behavior

*enabling espec

Die

Oy!

Any -one paying attention to that?

(Dude, blown cover! )

No, better option just go straight to Windu,

You thought he was being held for a tests ... He wasn’t , Time to get the ass kicking squad in for questioning,

Windu

*Not Obi- Won- -

That was damn threatening

Aight,

(Also yes, you do, Go tell Windu.)

Here’s the conversation;

‘Ok, I’ll just relay that to Master Windu-”

“Wait, no - don’t do that- !”

(Done jokingly)

The conversation’s fine,

War is never going to be won until someone assumes accountability

Both points of “feck you”

Well at least Anakin isn’t hail-ed as the “enabling Savior”,

And does sorta take Amidala ’s Side, , Re- asonable

[call Windu]

Shit ...

Also “your groomer has groomed you well”

To never pick a side . .. Ex- Cuse- Me- - Help ing ... He noticeably switched his body over to your side,

And his “both sides thing,” .... . Was is clearly a ‘feck you,

Appro -priately

No he DOESN’T!

And Anakin isn’t innocent here,

So knock off the tone

No puppy dog was kicked,

Anakin fully knows what he’s advocating is wrong

And appro -priate tone should be applied

‘That was malicious

You can’t hoodwink an adult,

Productives are well aware of common decency Rules,

Selectives know their shit

This is an act of malician . . . And should be framed as such . yeah I have no idea what’s going on with him either

[Doing that unaccountable juice again.)

Oh, hi, , Wait you’re just gonna straight up gas ‘em-

But-

(Does this turn them into a super angry pissed off monster?)

Zilla

Stop enabling this!

[Character Yell,]

Bitch,

Kill em’

‘I will grab the thing , but I’m still asking you to do the thing,”

This is why ‘sorry is bullshit,’

. .

Um Whelp, Time to see the baby get kicked,” - “I’m Sorry,”

We talked about how that doesn’t excuse actions ... I swear if they pull that they said they were sorry, so that means everything’s ok every episode,

[I will strike every episode]

Til the mark

Any way.

Begin procedure . And with that she is undoubtably irredeemable, . ...

(I swear to god if they play happy music of an ending where she is supposedly redeemed

Or enabled)

Calling heavy bullshit,

A puppy killer runn -ing free With No Ch -ance Of even the slightest bit of come uppance, .... Isn’t happy - - - Any Way, Even worse that it’s sentient - Going to switch from “That’s A Puppy!” to “THAT’S A SENTIENT!”

(Both are equally frick-ed up)

De- served-

Yeah-

Turns out when you threaten someone’s life they immediately going to assume accountability mode

(Not)

I’m just really angry

At the characters in the universe

But yeah, Damn,

Poor Zilla,

Got tears in my eyes

[Like imagine that bullshit]

Like either she was restrained her self enough so she didn’t kill people

Or the situation was so bad it literally caused an adrenaline like situation

Free- ing herself

Seeing as she doesn’t seem to be a bad “pers’-

[The accountability scale- still un-established,” [Selective accountability?

Involuntary accountability?

Does her body just flare up into attack mode when stuff like that happens)

Just-

Whoa-

No-

Don’t shoot the baby ! sent ient!

I don’t like the sound of that,

You’re not going to like

what they did to her?

[also wait, what are the properties of that gas?

Like what does exposure do to her?

[I know they said it was poisonous, But that was coming from the assholes that thought stabbing her was a good idea,

*em

Any Way,

Good point

Like how dude’s backing away . Good trooper

I hope he was the Zoologist One . seems to be smart,

Oof

(Dude didn’t even get to see the Zila,)

Oof

It doesn’t even attack anyone!

(It goes away from the tanks)

My Damn heart,

Oof

I hurt

Good

(Oh geez, she probably didn’t even know they were still out there.”

Oof,

Okay, fakers,

Also she took out was the beams screwing with her,

There was like one guy,

(I remember I thought about commenting, “Karma,”. at that moment,

If Lady’s on the ground it’s her own fault,

Zilla, didn’t do anything to her

Dick,

Oy, Bullshit,

She, went the other direction

And seemed very specific about avoiding things

I’m calling very light (Cir-cum stantial-) Bull shit

There must be a fire Oh no

(Yeah the structure-

Must suck

To be sp-

How is he reaching her

after her thing was destroyed?

Damn

Also, wait

it’s night?

How long have they been standing there?

(Also Mace Windu is going to kick your ass.”

Also, look at that

She’s trying to go under the beams!

This is clearly not malicious,

And I mean it makes a lot of sense,

She’s a ground living creature, (Sentient)

She probably thought lower altitude was safe

And not with all this (non sense),

toxin

Oh yeah just gas the city! - with multiple in- habitants of different biological structure-

[Don’t bother turning it into a blade]

Or bullets]

Hurry

[Not try anymore practical solutions,]

Why...

Have you done this?

[Oh yeah don’t bother sounding the alarms for everyone,

Screw them

Only the servants matter,”

“Gen, No, don’t stay with General Kenobi, He will get you killed,

Now, I kno

Fun

- See, she gives them a warning yell!

She’s more-so tripping than malicious,

Also made if you saw a (malicious) beast coming your way and decided to stand near it

-That’s your own fault,

Like, Darwin’s law No Euth,

To be fair dude does give the orders. And that was her way of saying I don’t like that guy

I’m just really sad about her condition.

Tr-

High er Van Ta Ge

Point-

Also yeah that does seem like a smoother safer advantage point where she wouldn’t hurt anyone

Aight,

Okay, seriously how the fuck are there fires?

She hasn’t-

That’s just something completely different,

[Like- I don’t know if I wanna know the story but that is intriguing]

Aw, Small,

See now she’s sticking to sections where she can’t hurt people. .

Whelp

“Also everyone get to your rooms,

These frickers;

Like there was an alarm earlier right?

There was a siren ..

How?

No-pe

Yes you stay on top of that dome

Proud Of This Zilla’

Eva- Cute?

Also wait wasn’t she just in the scene below

Some One-

Dude all she did was yell at him,

Re- Strain T!

Gosh darn, Yoda - you fricking enabler

Also how long until Windu finds out she’s been injured and.. freaks out.

Lost

And, they were all given fair warning and if you’re not smart enough to get out of the way that’s your own fault

* Un accountable

Off

How’s Windu feeling?

Aight

Bullshit, you planned that-

Also why are you including everyone else?

That seems like a security hazard?

Toxin

De-stroyed

Clearly no

You should be glaring daggers at him

being like “bitch no,”

Padme Isn’t innocent

Pr-

[Windu is going to kick a bitch]

Hi,

Hey, want to talk to you

VALID

Good

OH NO

Fuck off Yoda

(Amoral-

You shouldn’t shoot them in the first place-

Also this is just establishing that Mace Windu is literally the only sane person,

Yoda literally only cares about the chancellor . . . and would’ve shot him

Dick, Don’t

(Feckin dammit Anakin,)

The Zilla Just Wants a nice talk.

Bad

Yes just let the Zila talk you irresponsible fuck

Like, seriously Now she’s going to have to try and catch you with her hands,

And if anyone gets hurt it’s their own damn fault.

Som-

Stupid

Damn- Just. Talk

with the damn Zila,

I swear..

I fuck-

She was already paying attention

you damn fuck

Zilla- catch- Whelp,

Dumbest freaking plan ever,

Zilla, Pick up

“ also you have to think about what Zilla- is thinking at them at this moment-

Like-

Oh- shit

They could possibly die! She just yells at them this entire time!

Damn...

Pretty sure that dude tried to shoot her...

Not-

Dick

Oh No,

This-

She gave dude five fucking warnings

De-press ....
