What was the last thing you did for play or fun? Once upon a time in the enchanting realm of my daily grind, I decided to embark on a quest for play and fun that would make even the most serious philosophers reconsider their life choices. Armed with the courage of a lion and a humor sense as questionable as a magic eight ball, I set out to craft a masterpiece of amusement that would rival…

Pursuit 🔷

Rolling back to my personal HC of Victory Concent being a space hero that chases and captures outlaws, his most famous targets being Concent Kyo-Fu and Dark Zukin, this is basically a normal weekend for them.

Kyofu and Dark have made a name for themselves, the infamous outlaw couple of DDR space. Made as counterparts to other creations, they took on a role for themselves, seen as troublemakers but if asked, only want retribution for the wrongs the world has done against them. It's not much of an excuse for Victory, as his job is to bring justice to those who disrupt the law and order.

At this point, it's more of a cat and mouse game.

Mickey, Donald and Goofy during the 1990s and in 1990s outfits

I know people tend to object to how Max Goof and Huey, Dewey and Louie were portrayed in the 1990s and dressed in the 1990s, although they weren't bad, but here's Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, Jose, Fethry, Gus and Gladstone who also wore 1990s outfits and were portrayed as teenagers is not a problem. Isn't it? If I were to ask ironically of course.

Joking aside, I am posting these pictures as covers and Disney (whether European, American or Brazilian) is setting up these characters by posing as teenagers during the 1970s, 1990s and 2000s era, as well as wearing those clothes and outfits from the 1990s and 2000s era. Yes, you also have Dance Dance Revolution with Mickey and friends wearing 1990s outfits. Pop music, rock, metal, hip-hop and other types of music that prevailed during that era. There are cringes, but not all cringes. Still, there are some of us who grew up during the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s era, right? Or at least some of us. Certainly teenage Donald and Goofy remind me a lot of Max Goof and Huey, Dewey and Louie from A Goofy Movie and the Quack Pack.

I have yet to see Panchito, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Drake Mallard and other famous Disney characters wearing 1990s outfits, but it would be hilarious to see them too.

If you like it, feel free to like and reblog this.

P.S. Yes, I like how Max and Huey, Dewey and Louie are portrayed in the 1990s and I don't care about other negative opinions, and I like the outfits that Donald and Jose Carioca wear. My opinion.

[yuri-is-online]

My brain is whirring in the blender right now so here are the things I think twst characters would find interesting/horrifying

Atom bombs. Why would they need atom bombs? Wars were either fought with magic or swords if lilias backstory is standard war procedure. And in endless halloween, leona tells a (fake) story about a terrorist group on a yaht party or something that attacked with a magic cube. Also that whole moment with Oppenheimer where he didn't know if igniting that bomb would set off a chain reaction that would ignite all the other bombs and basically destroy the world. AND HE STILL FUCKING DID IT.

Gun. Same reasons as the atom bombs.

French revolution and the reign of terror. What do you mean 40,000 were executed and over 300,000 locked up in the time span if a few years? Why did the "french" switch between so many governments so fast? Who the hell is napoleon?

Russian revolution and Anastasia. that revolution was MESSY. But imagine telling leona or someone about how everyone thought that princess Anastasia and her brother escaped execution cause they couldn't find their bodies with the rest of the royal family. So all these middle aged women just started coming out being like "I am Anastasia", and one of these women was eventually accepted as Anastasia. Until they found out that thr royal family were submerge in vats of acid after they were killed, and because children's bones aren't quite solid, the just. Melted in the acid.

The whole mystery of those villages getting up one day and dancing themselves to death and we still don't know why.

Medieval torture devices. Like the crowd cage or when you get covered in honey and sent away on a boat to be eaten alive by bugs (jamil throws up)

The black plauge. Just. The black plauge.

Early Industrial revolution working conditions. I think even azul would get uncomfortable with those.

Mansu Musa going on tour and giving away so much gold that he collapsed entire economies.

The cold War. "Yeah so the US and the USSR were in a war-not-war because of paranoia of nuclear atom bombs but they couldn't actually go to war because if they actually went to war that would just be the end of the world so they just had a massive dick messering contest. Oh yeah! That's actually why we got the space race!"

The space race. ("The fucking moon in the sky!" "Yes azul, the moon in the sky. And Mars. And there are satellites that literally went to the cold cold edge of our solar system" "...why are you guys insane?")

American prohibition laws and the outlawing of alcohol that everyone hated so much that the government legalized alcohol again and now we have this thing called moonshine.

Mexican revolution and the solid century where their presidents just kept getting assassinated.

The greatest night in pop "we are the world". Just as a treat for the pop music club.

The entire age of exploration honestly. "What do you mean half your world didn't know the other half of the world was there until a few centuries ago?" "Oh you're gonna shit yourself when you find out what Europeans did next"

What the Europeans did next.

The world wars. Lilia has a fucking stroke while listening to it. But some of it was funny! Not really but yk! A polish bear loading an artillery Canon, an unsinkable cat, that British guy that carried a bow and arrow and played bag pipes when the nazis found him only to be the most unkillable yet unserious guy ever, a US naval captain that literally FLOODED HALF HIS SHIP on D-Day just to tilt that bitch back so they could hit the Germans better, and the US just converting a spare ship into a massive ice cream machine is pretty fucking hilarious.

The coups of the ancient past. I don't really remember who but I think this Indian (?) Prince literally threw his brother out a window, dragged him back upstairs, only to throw him out again for good measure is fucking hilarious.

The mono Lisa wasn't famous until this Guy™ stole it from a museum. The museum employs didn't even realize it was gone until someone asked where it went 💀

The way we name our countries tbh. Most of them translate to some ancient language (Spain translates to "rabbits" and Columbia is "dove"), but twst really has countries like. "Scolding Sands ✨️ and Queendom of Roses ✨️. So our country names are probably really weird to them. Especially the full country names. Do you know Hong Kongs official name? It's long as shit.

The first chainsaw was invented by two socttish doctors in the early 1800s to help with childbirth

I have many more historically rambling I could go on but this shit is getting long.

If anyone at any point wants to ramble about history they are very welcome to do so in my literal dms and not just my ask box. I love history and I love talking about it!!!

I think out of all of the things you listed the atom bomb, the space race, and the Cold War would probably be the what I think the various twst boys would find most interesting. Even in the history of our own world those things were extremely unusual, the sheer scale of something like a world war is really hard to grasp and I doubt Twisted Wonderland has had a similar event. I think the concept of such a thing would really scare the cast, though I imagine Idia, Leona, and Lilia would be grimly impressed at just how creative people can be when it comes to destroying each other. Magic isn't required to make a mess of things, sure they already knew that but oh wow. Now they're really thinking about it.

Now you know who would want to talk about all of these things? Professor Trein! He'd be really interested in learning anything and everything Yuu can remember about the history of their world. As an educator it allows him better insight into his student, and as a lover of history he gets to learn a lot of new things no one else knows.

[writer-reader-skater]

Skates that I think the modern AU characters would used based on vibes alone

and a little bit of canon

Tech: Riedell Aria 3030

Grew up using Edeas but once Lux convinced him to try Riedells he never went back. Very picky, keeps his boots polished and gets very upset when he accidentally gashes the leather. Replaced them every season, on the dot. His blades have his nickname etched in them because it’s never used on competition. Refuses to let anyone but Crosshair sharpen the blades and has the slightest of pronation on his dominant left foot. Started with Pattern 99s but they were too wide for him and he looked like a newborn foal trying to skate.

Crosshair: Edea Pianos and MK Pro revolutions

Baby boy needs that narrow foot and extra ankle support. Tells people to deal with him mixing brands. Doesn’t jump, like ever, but if he needed to he is a toothpick and would not manage to get off the ground if he tried anything with non revolution blades. Still almost floats away though. Hardest thing he does is keep up with Tech. Ironically, doesn’t sharpen his blades like ever despite being the resident sharpener (then complains when he can’t do anything).

Fives- Jackson premier fusion 

Thinks it’s absolutely hilarious that his boots have a stiffness rating of 69. Hasn’t replaced his boots no matter how much Lux and Tech tell him to. These bad boys are held together by duct tape and a prayer. It’s no wonder he hasn’t landed a double axel yet. Stubborn as hell. Secretly wishes they had pretty gemstones like Edea. Has no idea what blades he has and that may be part of the problem, but at least they’re blue. 

Lux- Aria 3030s and Pattern 99s

Same model as Tech. Refuses to be in the same vicinity as Edea, calls them overpriced pieces of leather but admits the gemstones are kind of cool. Swiss to the core (Riedells are a Swiss brand). Has his old pair mounted like a trophy because it’s the pair he landed his first quad jump in. Has to replace boots every 9 months because he can’t stand the slightest crease in the tongue and says it affects how he lands (Fives says ‘skill issue’). It’s a good thing he’s sponsored.  Also has his name engraved on them because most international competitors do.

Tup- Jackson Debuts and Riedell Eclipse blades

Absolutely DESPISES high cut boots. Technically these are dance boots but he couldn't care less. Has special skate covers to prevent smudges because he’s a diva. Begged for the Riedell selene blades because of how pretty they are, and stubbornly insists he will still be able to do everything. All about the aesthetic

Omega- Edea ice flys, legacy 8 blades

Saw the amount of gemstones and decided there wasn’t enough. Now there are RAINBOW gemstones. Keeps all her old skates because they are masterpieces. Outgrows them like no one’s business and is praying for the day she can upgrade to pianos, then she will have MORE room for gemstones. Legacy 8 blades because she is babey and needs more muscle before she can get anything heavier. Once she’s at an 8 foot rocker she will be unstoppable.

Thanks for the tag, @birdofmay!

Okay, so I don't actually have any playlists of my own; I entirely use playlists made by other people/generated by Spotify/actual albums, so I had to improvise. I stuck all six Spotify "Daily Mixes", my top 100 songs of 2021, 2022, and 202; my "On Repeat" playlist, and my "Repeat Rewind" playlist into a brand new playlist that contains 563 songs. I'm not good about favoriting songs, so I thought this was the fairest system. Some songs I don't actually know may come out of the Daily Mixes, so if that happens, I'll listen to it for the first time. Okay, cool.

1. Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran do a cover of the "Thriller/Heads Will Roll" Glee mashup.

Well, Taylor and Ed are two people, and this is a duet, so that's a good start. However, that's as far as my enthusiasm goes. Taylor has a *good* voice, however, she's not really a belter, which is all the "Heads Will Roll" part is. And Ed Sheeran covering Michael Jackson is not something that needs to happen.

2. The Warblers from Glee cover "I Feel Pretty/Unpretty"...also from Glee.

This is a song a female insecurity (arguably with lesbian undertones). I do not want an all male a cappella group involving themselves. Terrible idea.

3. Johnny Cash covers "Girl on Fire". Specifically the Glee arrangement.

This is so stupid that I love it. Johnny "Ring-Of-Fire" Cash covering a 2010s pop song about a woman being metaphorically on fire is hilarious to me. And the Glee arrangement is the icing on the cake.

4. Johnny Cash covers "champagne problems" by Taylor Swift.

Interesting that I got Johnny Cash twice in a row. Anyways, I think this just might work. I can't explain why. But it would.

5. Brittany from Glee covers "Million Reasons" by Lady Gaga.

Brittany can only really pull off heavily produced dance pop, and this song is a belting-heavy ballad. Sorry, Britt, but it's a no for me.

6. Simon & Garfunkel cover "obsessed" by Olivia Rodrigo.

I can't * f a t h o m * how this would sound. I am intrigued to hear it, but I sense it would be terrible. But, then again, Paul Simon is a musical genius and I could listen to Art Garfunkel sing anything.

7. Natasha Bedingfeld covers "Last Kiss" by Taylor Swift.

Natasha Bedingfeld is one of the never-heard-of-this-person-before-in-my-life musicians I warned you might appear on this playlist. Having heard one song, she's a generic pop artist. Sort of a Beyoncé vibe. I'm sure she'd do just fine covering Taylor.

8. Avril Lavigne covers "Operator" by Jim Croce.

Avril is another person I don't actually listen to (I actually know who she is this time). Uhh.. this cover would be wack, but I'm not sure if it's wack in a good or bad way.

9. Darren Criss covers "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" by Tracy Chapman.

(Yes, this was a DC original song, not a Glee cover.) Okay, so, having been on Glee, Darren knows how to do a killer cover, and I'm sure this would be no different. Kind of a tone deaf song selection on his part, however.

10. Olivia Rodrigo covers "Heaven Is A Place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle.

I do know this song, and it's not *out* of my taste range, but I don't think I've ever listened to it on Spotify before, so. Anyways, I think this is the best combination I've gotten! I really want to hear this now! Best for last!

Well, Sina, and these the crazy combinations you expected from me? Very Glee heavy and most of the combinations would be horrid, which seems in character.

I would like to see what @doctor-whu @porcelainvino @wheresurboytonighthelookslikeenj @katyobsesses @angelhummel and @hevanderson get if you want to try :))

Statue Seal au prompt: MK learning there might be more to his birthday gift than meets the eye

Today had been a great Gotcha Day.

Much to his surprise, Tang and Pigsy had rented out a private room at the Anti-Gravity Arcade and had made a gorgeous cake. Long Xiaojiao had provided the full bar, both drinks and snacks. He had the delight to watch Tang absolutely master Dance Dance Revolution and Pigsy discover Cooking Mama VR. It would be absolutely hilarious to track down the videos of Pigsy cursing out Mama later.

Now, stomach full of cake and food and feeling slightly tipsy, Xiaotian giggled as Pigsy guided him out of the van. “Hey…Xiaojiao! Xiaojiao, let’s have a sleepover!”

“HELL YEAH!”

“Sounds fun!” Sandy said, shutting the van door.

“FUN!” Xiaojiao repeated, grinning at Sandy.

“Xiaojiao, please,” Tang sighed, adjusting his grip on her. “You know my ankles are weak- Hm?” He looked up, adjusting his glasses. “Hey, Xiaotian, did you leave the light on?”

“Huh?” Xiaotian craned his head back. There was a light upstairs, yep. Except he was pretty sure he didn’t leave a light on. If he had, Pigsy would’ve caught it. “Pigsy, did you leave a light on in my room?”

Pigsy was already shaking his head. “No, I didn’t- HEY!” Xiaotian yelped as he was nearly dropped so his dad could point. “LOOK! LOOK, SOMEONE’S INSIDE!” All of those faces craned up. As if Pigsy’s yell was a cue, Xiaotian could see something shift inside.

Suddenly the tippiness suddenly stopped.

Someone was in his apartment.

“I locked the window,” he managed. “I know I did-!” He pushed away to look down the alleyway with the fire escape. The window that led into his room was closed. “But- how-?!”

There was a yelp. “The door’s locked!” Pigsy yelled, pulling out his keys and yanking up the door. Xiaojiao pushed Tang down and went over his head to help him shove up the door. She led the charge through the shop and Xiaotian followed her. Based on the footsteps and the cry of “Wait!” Pigsy followed close behind as Tang hobbled behind.

Xiaotian was the one to shove the door open.

He came to a stop at the light.

His entire room was filled with light.

The epicenter was where the little statue had been standing, right where Xiaotian had left it. However, the statue laid in pieces. Floating above Xiaotian’s desk was a monkey.

He was beautiful.

He looked to be made from sunshine, given how his fur was a beautiful gold, long hair spreading out like the wings of an angel. A peaceful look creased his peach mask. He wore an elegant azure blue hanfu, the fabric spreading like the blue of the sky. Xiaotian couldn’t help but gape even as Pigsy swore and he heard a faint click from a camera.

The glow finally faded and the monkey sank down to the floor. The moment his feet touched the floor, however, he fell back, right on his butt. Xiaotian finally found it in him to take a step forward, even with Pigsy’s warning hiss of “Kid!”

Golden eyes opened. They were hazy as though he had just woken up.

Xiaotian had the feeling he did.

Sun Wukong blinked. He blinked again and craned his head, looking around. He seemed to jolt when his eyes met Xiaotian, who knelt carefully next to the monkey. “Um, hi?” Xiaotian waved. The king blinked and his stomach twisted. What should he say next. “Are you okay?”

Sun Wukong blinked.

“No.”

His eyes rolled back and he fell back.

reading again so soon?

DAY 8: APRIL 22, 2024

STATS: read for 1 hour and 20 minutes pages read: 1683-1903. 220 pages. NICE! slur count: 13 + 0 = 13 silly count: 13 + 0 = 13 piss count: 2/3

THOUGHTS: today was largely uneventful but we did get to [s] shut up and jam

today john went through gate 2 and saw rose sleeping and i literally cant believe how unreal he was about it all. i mean yeah its JOHN EGBERT but come on you crash land in your wonderful friends house and you dont even wake her up or wait to say hi. whats your problem dude. he was really devious about the whole thing (pestering kanaya under roses name; snooping in roses books; pranking her by putting a bucket on her ajar door).

what IS a realistic interpretation of how i would interact with my online friend if i met him in real life is how rose and dave interacted for the first time on derse (which includes shut up and jam). imagine as follows: 1. i lean mischievously on your window sill. i throw a ball of yarn at your head and you wake up. hello. its me from the internet 2. you show me your awesome music gear and we dance and its awesome 3. i throw your creepy puppet out that has been giving you nightmares for like ever 4. you show me your computer. apparently our mutual friend is at my house. huh! 5. i disappear like yeah i would do that. rose is awesome

and of course the john (under the guise of rose) and kanaya conversation. i think its hilarious that was never explained and i like to believe none of them know any wiser except for john. kanayas like wow that was a weird first convo with rose haha and rose probably knows what happened to be honest. but kanayas left in the DARK. i love her. WE SAW SOLLUX TOO! kanaya is so cute. i literally love her. hassling sollux "You Used To Like To Talk More" fr girl. "I Dont Have An F1 Key" and then she throws it at his head. shes so awesome. ohh my god

another thing i was thinking about this session was hussie's use of tone. there were a few instances the tone was like crazy and they are as follows 1. john discovers roses gift for his birthday and reads the note. its like hes goofing off and is like "ok. im gonna look in the box now." and then theres this panel of the knitted con air bunny and its silent. and then he reads roses sentimental note. and its silent. and then he SLAM DUNKS THAT BUNNY BACK IN THE BOX!!! BOO YAH!!!!!!!!!!!! i guess it shows how john buries his feelings. no time to feel good! need to DO SHIT! 2. when john is ectobiologizing. and exploring the lab. its so... desolate. so disconnected. so silent. "A meteor ahead looks unnoticed." its like. it really sets a mood. its really. clinical. vague. abrupt. its SOMETHING. i really like it. especially for john. it fits him

rose and daves alchemizing parties were this session and they were only ok. daves is full of bangers like the brain in a jar and the swords and tuxedos. roses was just ok

[S] WV: Rise up IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! COOLEST FLASH EVER! I LOVE THE CARAPACIANS! i love to see his revolution its so awesome. ohh my god. its got beautiful music and beautiful frames its all so good. i love unity and revolution

complacency in the learned was pretty ok. rose is a great writer it sounds like wizardy herbert but more wordy though. which is pretty much what it IS. so whatever

i think thats it. i want to put some panels that i really liked in here cus there were a lot of beautiful ones so here goes. act 4 is so beautiful probably the most beautiful act. ok bye

London Theatre Review: Les Misérables (Sondheim Theatre)

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Plot: It's the early 1800's in France, tens of years after the French Revolution during a time of economic hardship and opposition towards the monarchy. Jean Valjean was jailed for 20 years for stealing a piece of bread, in his youth. Upon a stranger's act of kindness is able to build a life for himself, he breaks the parole order upon he was released. He gets old and established, comes into contact with a poor young woman (a harlot) in the most unfortunate of circumstances. Promising to raise the child of the harlot as his own, he lives as the French Revolution unfolds, and the viewers get to watch as the characters decide what it is they're willing to die fighting for.

My thoughts:

Oh wow... standing ovation! Standing ovation! Applause, applause!!! Les Mis was the most incredible performance that I've watched live, maybe ever!

First of all, the acting and singing were incredible. Jean Valjean's full immersion into the character and Éponine's voice, so strong yet feminine, and the little boy, his cheekiness till the end. Many a times I got chills, with the hairs rising on my cheeks, and many more times I got moved, with tears pooling in my eyes. Oh wowwwwww....

The staging as well, the scene where the Inspector falls in the water, and how he moves into the projection of rising water behind him, is so genius. I was so moved by the songs themselves as well, I will be listening to "I Dreamed a Dream," "Do You Hear the People Sing?," as well as "On My Own" on rotation! At no point did I lose trust in the ability of the performers, they're program was so tight and rich.

"Master of the House," however, was my favorite scene in the musical! The innkeeper couple (that owns Corvette in her mother's absence) are the most hilarious characters, and every action they do is so perfectly scum-of-the-earth greedy and hateful. However, far from just serving as a comedic relief, they are the underlying baseline of bad upon which rests the musical's discussion of good vs. bad people.

I found the main theme of this musical to be: an act of kindness is very powerful and can touch the hearts of both "evil" and "good" people, and through them spread more acts of kindness. For example, Jean Valjean is touched by the Priest's generosity even when he stole from the church, the harlot (Cosette's mom) is cornered to a desperate life of prostitution after bullied and fired from her previous job but dies in the care of Jean Valjean, Jean also takes care of Cosette and even goes into barricade to save her lover who in turn pledges to protect her forever. He is a propagator of good in his lifetime, ever since he was touched by the Priest.

And thus, the musical pushes its viewers to be more sympathetic of the poor and dishonorable (i.e. convicts and sex-workers), and to understand that difficult circumstances (both the law and other people) might push any good person to this state. Going back to the innkeeper couple, they remain constantly evil, deceptive thieves and nuisances to Jean Valjean throughout the musical, representing a force of evil that is perfectly comfortable in their evil ways, creating difficult circumstances for the people around them. In the words of J. Cole: don't save them, they don't wanna be saved.

In a completely selfish turn of thoughts, I must learn from the way this performance moved me, to take to my own performance directing in dance. In my very literal observations, I believe it is the character's immersion and acting, how realistic their response is to the plot: each line and stage action felt rooted in realism, like as if despite every line being sung, the production was never clouded by some writer or director's desire to make art. And second of all, I think the blocking was good at directing the view of the audience: up! Center! Everywhere! I think, it'll be key to think about where I want people to look.

In conclusion, this performance was super inspiring to me, and I recommend everyone go watch it as soon as possible!!!

I've been watching the enstars anime and it is so hilarious to me, especially after watching much more normal band animes. It's highschool shenanigans mixed with band performances mixed with death note level drama and schemes. I love it so much

at some point the main girl gets snatched by two random guys out of nowhere, and the guys are singing and throwing her up in the air and they bring her to a guy that's lying in a coffin???? No idea what that was but I am utterly captivated

The main characters are trying to overthrow their student council and the show gives it the same treatment as them actually going to war. I don't know if that was just the translation I watched being weird, but at some point someone says they're "ready to risk their lives" for this, like dude you are in high school

The student council president comes back to school and there's dramatic lighting and music that makes it seems like the devil has just risen, meanwhile the guy himself is like "hey guys I'm back from the hospital:) I liked your show:)"

Literally all they're doing is like. glorified dance-offs and rebellion against high school policies but they're talking about it like "we need to defeat the enemy" "let us battle fairly" "I will assist in your revolution"

at some point a band really doesn't want to lose against another band so one of them decides to solve their problems via actual honest to god kidnapping?? can't you just like shove someone in a locker or whatever normal highschool bullies do

and to be honest, highschoolers in situations like this would probably also see their situation as a matter of life and death, so props for the. realism. question mark?

Oh, this part's different.

Or possibly it's not. It may have happened in Loop 1 but nobody called Kyon. That's a possibility.

Nope, this is new. A symptom of the loop, presumably.

There we go. Itsuki's back to his job of explaining the plot.

Confirmed! Loop 1 was not, in fact, Loop 1.

That's the trick with time loops. A potentially infinite number of revolutions can be made without anyone even noticing if nobody is aware that it's happening.

Wonder why it took this many loops before Mikuru tried to time travel, though.

Also bringing up the way things are arbitrarily changing from loop to loop. Probabilistic effects, most likely. Something something quantum mechanics, people won't necessarily make the same choices when put in the same situation under the same context twice.

Rude. That means there were 435 trips to the Bon Dance where Mikuru got snubbed. What the hell, 2.82% of all Haruhi repetitions!?

In any case, we know the rules now. Time is repeating but the loops are imprecise, because Haruhi has something or other she wants to do this summer but that, for some reason, didn't make the list.

Probably that, yeah. Like the world-cramping, this is likely about Kyon. She's giving him infinity chances to get his shit together and say or do something romantic towards her. And 15,498 attempts thus far have gone by unfulfilled because he is aggressively disinterested in her.

I don't know why you want the trash boy, Haruhi. But I was young and stupid once too. I get it. You go get your trash boy. Even if it takes a billion tries.

Oh. Fuck me.

The fate of time itself depends on Kyon's ability to interpret the plot. We are all doomed.

I doubt this is going to be it but it'd be hilarious if it turns out that what Haruhi wants is for Kyon to ask for her help with his homework.

That comes up in conversation during the fireworks. Kyon's like, "Have you done the homework yet?" and Haruhi's like, "PFFT I got that shit done first thing this summer. You didn't!?" At which point he whines internally about how unfair it is that she's smarter than him.

It takes three days by her estimate and he hasn't even started by the final day of the loop. He's completely screwed because he spends all of his time doing group shenanigans.

How funny would it be if Haruhi's been looping time because she's waiting for him to set aside his pride and just fucking ask her to help him?

The Test

So.... Alone Together was one of the best episodes of the show so far. So to have one of the best episodes immediately be followed up by another PERFECT episode is...whew. I just got hit with peak twice.

Pearl experiences 'Gamer Rage™'.

Y'all.....how the FUCK is Garnet SO FUCKING COOL?! I swear she must be like a sponge for coolness & naturally absorbs all the coolness in the universe because that's the only logical explanation for how she's THIS FUCKING COOL ALL THE TIME.

Okay Pearl was just being Pearl here & as you all know, yes, she's peak. As always.

That's My Pearl!™

She was just trying so hard to make him feel better & it just went so bad. She's a fucking wet cat. I love her. In fact, all 3 gems were just at their best this episode. Amethyst was fucking hilarious & Garnet was somehow even cooler than she was before. No seriously I swear she actively gets cooler with each episode it's weird. How is she getting even cooler. HOW CAN SHE BE THIS COOL SHE'S SO FUCKING COOL.

I love how this calls back to an earlier episode with the sea spire. Like holy shit: So them having Steven 'fail' all the way back in that episode was done so they could set up another episode later on? THAT'S SO FUCKING DOPE HOLY SHIT. THE WRITERS ATE THAT SHIT.

Amethyst is apparently a big fan of that marble madness game on NES. Wow. Amethyst is such a 'Gamer™'.

The first thing I thought of when I saw Pearl's music puzzle dungeon should probably have been like, Dance Dance Revolution or something. But no, the thing that came to my silly mind instantly was that one part of Battle For Bikini Bottom in the mermalair stage. You know the one.

Even her dungeon is fucking cool.

Okay ngl I saw this plot twist coming the second they said they designed the dungeons but I didn't see the scene of them talking about feeling like failures coming. Seeing even Garnet, fucking GARNET, even her being so unsure? That legit fucking hits so much. And then Steven being there to give THEM the comfort? This ending made me tear up. Like actually got my eyes watering. This episode & the last one have easily been the best episodes so far. Holy shit.

alphabetical order!

Okay, we're gonna do down the whole list, uh, some happened once and some I do regularly but fuck it we ball.

Absolutley fucking crushing him at Dance Dance Revolution one time and he got so mad that he stuck his finger in my face and accused me of cheating even though I don't really think there's a way to cheat at Dance Dance Revolution but you know. He was definitely annoyed, but I haven't done it again, so there's that.

Blowing bubbles in my drink with a straw, seriously, he hates when you do that, it's so fucking funny. 'Course I stop when he asks, though, I'm not a dick. Clicking a pen so much one time that he chucked it at my head. Fun times. Actually clicking anything in general gets him annoyed. Doing my bit where I narrate everything he's doing like I'm fucking David Attenborough. I put on a posh accent and everything and he gets so mad over it and it's always hilarious.

Erasing all of his progress on Minecraft because I somehow ended up corrupting the save file (I apologized for this later I have NO IDEA how I managed it).

Flung the wadded up paper that he tossed over his shoulder in his lab back at him and he swatted it away and I swatted it back and then it became the world's angriest game of ping-pong.

Gagging at him when he says he likes grape licorice. Usually this turns into him throwing the fact that I used to like pineapple on pizza before I found out that I was fucking allergic to pineapple back in my face, which....okay, fair.

Hogging all the blankets when we have turtle piles.

Ice cubes. Specifically crunching on them. He actually went "are you a goddamn trash compactor, Leo? Just SUCK on them like a NORMAL PERSON" at me once.

Jello. I put his lab tools in jello once. Once he got over being annoyed he did admit it was kinda funny, though, so I stay winning.

Keeping his stash of granola bars hidden from him once.

Lying across his work table and refusing to move whenever he's been awake for too long working on something.

Making references to things he doesn't like, seriously, I got him with the "and then he turned himself into a pickle funniest shit I've ever seen" so much.

Never really cleaning up after myself sometimes (sorry Don).

Once telling him that he looked like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. Although that didn't really annoy him so much as.....make him get in my face and threaten to strangle me in my sleep if I ever compared him to "that walking Autism Speaks stereotype of what autism looks like" ever again.

Playing bass-boosted music over the Bluetooth in his lab to wake him up once.

Quite frankly I'm not doing q, that letter's just an o trying to look trendy.

Really doing my level best to convince him drop bears were real once. But in my defense he almost fell for it.

Singing "I'm Just Ken" at the top of my lungs until he throws something at me.

Touching his stuff without explicit permish.

Using those tiny brushes in his lab to clean my skateboard with.

Very loudly burping right in his ear once (to be fair, though, that wasn't intentional).

Waking him up by asking whether ketchup technically counted as a jam once (it doesn't and I also got a pillow smacked in my face so).

X is a shit tier letter, get fucked.

Yeeting dust bunnies that I find in the lair at him.

Zzzzz. Honk shoo a mimi.
