Charmcaster Headcanons since everybody completely forgets her real name is Hope

And I have a crush on her since I first watched Ben 10 as a child

I kinda feel like her mom was a "normal human" / an earth human and that's explains why Hex and Her use to leave in a damn expensive house

But this I will explain in future

Well let's name her mom as Joan because I said so and it'll be better to name everyone in this

Spellbinder now is Geralt because his design remember me of Geralt's from The Witcher

Ok so before Addwaitya decides to be a bitch the humans from Ledgerdomain use to leave whenever they want and this is how Joan and Geralt meet each other

They did college together and no one can change my mind

Again this will be important in the future

Joan's parents were rich's

After college, Joan and Geralt get married and she decided to go with him to Ledgerdomain

Then she got pregnant

It was a risk pregnant so she decided that, since she could die during it, she would let something to her baby

That cool house with a big library that it completely not my dream to live in

Sadly, Joan died at childbirth and that would explain why Hope wants to bring her father back to life and not her mother

'Cause she's closest with him because he was the guy who took care of her

And her name has some meaning such as "the hope between their love"

Then Addwaitya started to be a bitch

And Geralt was like one of the heads of the revolution against that fucking turtle

Hope was between 5-8 years old back in time

Y'all know, Geralt died so Hope and Hex could live

And I'm pretty sure they both saw his death

Now we have a double H in need of therapy

But of course they didn't

Now they live in that house in earth

Hex was going crazy behind those magic things and maybe that's why he end up getting obsessed and power hungry with magic

All of this to try to comeback to Ledgerdomain and get his revenge

But at the same time he had to look after an also traumatized child which he wasn't really ready to

And maybe this is where the abuse started

He put in her head that she HAD to help and obey him because they were trying to save her father

But Charmcaster didn't really got it well because she was only a child

Oh of course she was homeschooled so she could learn the basic things and magic

Which is obviously the most important thing tho

Hex told her that names have power and that's why he give her new name Charmcaster

Which he only calls her in public

It was only to try to keep her safe from the crazy turtle

I mean he lost his brother and his sister-in-law he can't lose his niece too

So they get amoral for a real long time

And he was really rough with Hope's education

And social life

She never get around with people with her own age

I feel like she does like romance movies but it's a secret

Oh and she aways wanted to read/watch Harry Potter but Hex never allowed her to do it because "magic doesn't work in this way"

With the time Hex was like do what you gotta do

And here Hope feels the freedom for the first time

Hex wanted her to go to college what she did in a different city but next to Bellwood

This was 'till she decided to be a ruller instead

Hex really got worried when he first knew that she went back to Ledgerdomain

But he was the first person she contacted when she was done with it

And as humans from other dimensions they never celebrate holidays such as Christmas

Which Hope wish they could

Instead she used to watch christmas movies such as a Christmas Prince

She left Ledgerdomain during a week after her father "died again"

And y'all remember that episode with Michael that it's implied that they had sex?

It may be her first time for obvious reasons

She loved him more than he actually loved her

Witch he didn't

Let's be honest she was weakened because she had all that work to see her father dying again by his own choice

Michael saw that the place was full of mana and that she let him beautiful again

He just took advantage of her in this

What can I say? They could be a good couple if they had any kind of chemistry

I'm way sure she is bisexual

I mean it was okay she get mad with Gwen because of the book in the first five times

As a kid I don't think she ever looked at Gwen this way because you know kids

But then... Maybe

I mean it's not just jealousy

I really think she has a crush on Gwen

Fight me

I think of her as a Ruller that she would have a political to bring people to Ledgerdomain and then become their dictator because she thinks it means love

' cause it was the way Hex created her

I can't blame her for being like that

Actually I can't blame nobody in that whole story

They were just victims of the circumstances

I really believe she is a good girl who only needs an oportunity to show it

And someone who believes that she can be better than she is

Conclusion: Hope only suffers, wish I could hug my girl 😭

9-1-1 4x08 Winter finale

[Warning : I dislike Taylor Kelly. She was okay this episode but I’m the resentful kind. Also my brain works funny at 4am]

I know that flight attendant, Molly, from somewhere! Camille in The Originals, wasn’t she?! Eddie flirting over math??? MATH??? whatever rocks your boat man but MATH? I’m don’t like the “Edmundo” thing. Maybe because it seems like only his parents/grandma/aunt call him that. OR just because I’m not used to it. Afterall, for 2 seasons and half everybody called him Eddie or Diaz. THANK GOD FOR THE BEDTIME ALERT. At least, I won’t have to see them kiss until 6 weeks. Buck being very domestic in Eddie's home, saying “You’re late”, welcoming him at the door, putting Chris to bed. “Christopher is already in bed?” gosh that’s such a domestic question. 9-1-1 why do you to this to me?! “You’re a miracle worker” *ugly sobs smearing my clown make-up*

Okay so we have: Chim and Eddie betting with Hen. Buck talking about his problems to everyone now. I like this. Go my boy, talk about your feels. LOL Eddie starting the “jump” thing and the camera panning to Bobby saying it too. Eddie getting parental advice from Bobby and Athena. Buck befriending Taylor Kelly?? "Be patient, let the universe come to you", the same universe that "doesn’t scream" according to Eddie? (if this is a message to us TOO BAD I’M ALL OUT OF PATIENCE)

Does… Albert have a job? (I mean he buys groceries so he has some money) A job that would allow him to get his own place and not bring his date to his friend’s apartment?? Omg no, Buck, you're going to bring Taylor Kelly to the double date? Taylor "Let's film the firefighter captain when he is about to jump off the building and after the illusion of his dead daughter" Kelly? Aww the discussion between Athena and Maddie was really sweet and OH god Karen u okay? I would have fainted! How is the stabbed guy not dead? also Athena PLEASE stop getting alone in a place where potentially murderers are without calling for back up! It always stressed me up but it does even more now, since the assault.

So Eddie likes Ana “a lot”? Okay well, good for him. He deserves nice things.

Okay I’m not being sincere here. Like, hey maybe it doesn’t have to be a girl? Though it’s obviously going to be, cause they are not going to make the two allegedly straight guys date each other, are they? Not the dad who was in the military and the manly lady-killer. What would the viewers think? The cis viewers not wanting yet another queer relationship in their show about badass firemen. Look at what all those disappointments did to me. Made me so jaded. I may be getting a bit bitter here. I just dislike seeing good potential throw out the windows for those kinds of reasons. Anyways, holy shit I didn't expect Chris to get THIS angry. It's gonna be okay Eddie, eventually.

[long post so rest under the cut]

RIP Buck, looking so dejected in his little armchair I dislike Taylor Kelly (for her morality) a lot but she does look good in that red dress... and it seems she didn't knew it was a double date? Yep. #awkward Yeaaah, Buck that wasn't thought through, was it? Also, no Taylor, you and Buck didn't click because you’re here for a hook-up (though he doesn’t seem uninterested in the idea) while he seeks a "more meaningful relationship". [Buck I’m gonna shore you’re head in front off Eddie’s and maybe you’ll have some kind of revelation then.] "You're so needy" how shut up Ma'am "I'd had no qualms wanting to give a bad image of the 118 as long as it gave me views". I don’t like you enough to tolerate you speaking poorly to Buck. It's true, he should have told you, he f*cked up and he doesn't want to not be like (we have his unloving parents to thank for that) and I get your feelings are hurt but hey! I don't care about your feelings. I care about Buck's. (as Hen said to Chim : “She is you’re ex, I’m your friend. You get to move on. I get to hold a grudge until I died.”)

You know Ana is nice, like she is ready to take a break for Christopher’s sake and yet... I don't care about her. Maybe it's because I ship buddie and she pales in comparison with Eddie and Buck's chemistry. But I don't think this is it. I mean we already have a nice caring girl in Maddie (who was more likeable from the start though) so maybe this is why. Like Ana feels redundant, personality wise. I should like her, she is pretty, nice, intelligent, she cooks it seems, she makes Eddie smile, she was an elementary school teacher and yet she doesn’t interest me. I can't get invested in her character or Eddie's relationship with her. She is too much of a satellite love interest. I'm fine with that if she isn't meant to stay. But if she is meant to stay (noooooooo) then you better strengthen her character. You better make her the Maddie to his Chimney, the Athena to his Bobby. Make me like her.

Christopher sneaked out?! WTF?! How? And he went to Buck's house? Called himself a uber?! (hmm this was in a fanfic I read) Did he manage to pass Eddie without getting notice or did he go through the back door? Anyway, here comes the talk and this is not going where we hoped it will. I knew, yet I’m still disappointing. This is why I’m a clown. To be honest I wished tv writers could just spoil us about ships to come, at least when it concerns queer ships (you know, like Roswell New Mexico did, Roswell New Mexico where a soldier date a ladykiller cowboy hmmm). Should I keep hoping for buddie or not? Tell me. I'll wait if I should and move one if I shouldn't. I just don't like wasting my time and energy on queerbaiting, if this is what it is.

OH NO CHRIS! He thinks everybody leaves! (Btw where IS Carla? Who keeps watch on Chris when he is homeschooled and Eddie is at work?) Damn! Buck is DEFINITELY the right person to talk about those feelings! (wow you two have so much in common, you could be related! By law. Through your dad. A June wedding for buddie). Awww Buck promised to be there for Christopher! OH MY GOD FORGET EVERYTHING! RIGHT NOW NOTHING MATTERS! MADDIE SAID "I LOVE YOU" !! THREE TIMES! I'm so happy for her and Chimney!

So was the tweet alluding to Buck moving in Eddie's house playing with us OR are we going to get it later this season? Doesn’t seem like it. I’d me more hopeful if I hadn’t been queerbaited so many times before or seen perfect gay ships never come into fruition because of the “no homo” rule. And why Taylor "Walsh"? I like seeing Eddie as a medic. OMG NOPE TAYLOR KELLY YOU DON’T PULL OFF YOU MASK ON A VACCINATION SITE TO KISS A FIREFIGHTER ON THE CHEEK. YOU TWO HAVE BEEN AROUND PEOPLE ALL DAY! SOCIAL DISTANCING! THAT MASK STAYS ON TO PROTECT OTHERS FROM YOU!

As expect, we've been clowns! Buck didn't, and won’t, move in (he doesn’t need to since Albert and Veronica broke up), Eddie did introduced Chris to Ana. Chris is now okay with it (his reaction was cute) although STOP HUGGING PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF YOUR FAMILIAL CIRCLE, VICE-PRINCIPAL. YOU DIDN’T EVEN WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE HUGGING HIM! SOCIAL DISTANCING DAMMIT!

We really are in for Eddie/Ana to stay this season (I mean he introduced her to Chris, so it is pretty serious) and maybe Buck / freaking Taylor Kelly (like hook-up to friends to lovers). Buck you can date anyone but please find yourself someone better.

OH HELL NO! This is the mid-season mean cliffhanger? Don't take cutie Nia away from Karen and Hen. I mean, sure this is what they signed up for and if the mother is now a decent person she should see her daughter again, but the baby doesn't even remember her mother (she was too young) and she is already calling them "mom" !

And now we wait. 6 weeks.

Watch "I'M BACK! WHY I LEFT YOUTUBE FOR TWO YEARS!" on YouTube

youtube

This scared me so badly, because this is EXACTLY what happened in my life, except it was all in The Reverse.

I graduated with an Associate Degree in Music Performance in 2018, but instead of running TOWARDS my dream/calling I ran hardcore AWAY from it. My pride in graduating only lasted a month before I declared myself Utterly Unmarketable and sought to go after a "real degree" and get a Big Girl career.

Between 2018 and 2020 I had major life changes.

My dad died of stomach cancer

I broke up with my neglectful boyfriend

I turned down a Full Ride to a major college

I hospitalized myself for Suicidal Ideation (Sept 2019)

I quit my job of 5 years

I started working for my best friend and became her Office Manager

I started dating the Love of my Life

I lost my friend group and peer support

I lost my mind and left college due to COVID-19 (but not before making one of my best decisions in taking a Screenwriting class because I WANTED not NEEDED it)

Started distancing myself from the toxic women in my life and definining Womanhood/Adulthood for myself

Visited my brother's grave after over a decade of waiting and got closure

Fully acknowledged my childhood trauma/abuse

Rediscovered my sexuality

Was disowned by who I erroneously thought was a close friend of 17 years over my political views

Joined and exited Unity2020

Turned in my car for repossession

Spent a week in the hospital after having a severe, paranoid psychotic break, but came out completely free of the vice of self-consciousness I was living under

You know what is nuts? I feel in many ways, I have completely reverted to who I was in the summer of 2011. I was off my meds, and it WAS mania, but personality-wise, the tempestuous, gum-chewing, cigarette-puffing, flirtatious, humorous, free-spirited ball of fire that drove all the way to Colorado on a whim wasn't rebellious, SHE WAS ME.

I just wasn't Me around the right people, and it wasn't the Right Time.

My inner Sagittarius moon would remain in a dormant state for almost a full decade. I would spend the next 9 years heavily sedated, sleepwalking through life, only alive at The Sound of Music.

It was Torture to feel so much but be afraid to express myself. I had to Hide while doing a major that demanded that I Command Attention. I am by nature "dramatic", "theatrical", "emotional", "expressive" but that part of me was so suppresed that I was frequently told I sang with excellence but without emotion.

Aside: During my 2011 manic episode, I spoke a lot about Doppelgangers. Without going into excessive detail, this is a German word that means "Double" and it is considered bad luck to encounter yours.

In the past 2 weeks, I have encountered people that look/sound like me (Josephine is Nigerian-Canadian and I am Nigerian-American and I kept thinking about her work even though I initially disagreed with her lot) and a woman with my name (different spelling) who was NOTHING like me and I also think might've had malice in mind for me.

I was DEFINITELY an agnostic atheist when I started this year, but as a result of undergoing so much weird shit I almost certainly believe in God, and yes, "God is a Woman." (More on that later)

Also, I realized that I really DID, as many teenage girls, "lose interest in math and science" but that was because of the terrible, unfactual way it was presented in my homeschool curriculum and by my mom, who was a Math major but whose disinterested detachment made every algebra lesson an excercise in torture.

I have always loved biolology and anatomy and I remember so much more chemistry than I thought. Geology class in community college was amazing and also helped me understand-- even more than the Theory of Evolution-- why young earth creationism was completely impossible.

As for math, I spent 15 years thinking it was my greatest weakness when I have had to use arithmetic in cashiering, my managerial work, and my monthly budget for the last 7 years. Also, as annoying as it was to hear constantly, my mom parroting "What you have to do to one side, you have to do to the other" (but in reverse) gave me the ability to do Algebra quickly and (mostly) effortlessly. I could never get A's, but I got a B in Quantitative Mathematics with no real help aside from occasional teacher input and the "Help me solve this" function of MyMathLab.

Here is where it Gets Weird. I am a Creative. I have been writing stories since I was 6 years old. I have loved Story all my life. My parents were in math and science fields and they completely lacked any creativity. COMPLETELY. It was part of why they were so religiously rigid, authoritarian, and draconian. There was no room for spontaneity or childish imaginativeness.

Looking back, I had major sensory and processing issues. I was likely speech delayed, I learned to read late, and I recently confirmed that when I am stressed my dyscalculia kicks in bad (it IS real). Numbers and symbols get really interchangeable (like an 8 and infinity symbol become kinda the same) which is why I had to recite phone numbers out loud to remember them or write them on colorful backgrounds so I can see them in my head as an image. Also explains my aversion to math but my ease with fractions (1/2 is half a sandwich, etc).

My spatial awareness is also shit when stressed. Before I turned in our car, I had earned the nickname "U-turn" from my boyfriend because on that Floating Death Machine left and right got completely crossed, frequently.

By the way, I struggled with right and left until I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD. I literally didn't understand the concept of a mirror and 3D space, meaning that the basic understanding that my right is someone else's left didn't come into play until I had an argument with my [now-deceased] brother about it.

What is so weird, is that because of years of correcting for these issues, my sense of direction, ON FOOT is good, if not better than most people. Also, once I realized that, given the opportunity, I very much do whatever I can with my left-hand, and that my hearing is MUCH better than I even thought, I am far less clumsy. Depth perception is still crap, but that is probably also because I was forced to spend years without the glasses I needed (and got earlier this year after living with chronic eye strain)

When I talk about these "issues" it is in line with female autism, but you know what? If really do have adult autism, then I am a Complete Boss because I have pwned that ho.

After being rehospitalized, a kind nurse suggested I may have PTSD and suggested medicine for insomnia and nightmares. It was extremely helpful. I had been looking into C-PTSD for a while, because I didn't think I had "suffered enough" to have "real" PTSD. But that isn't how diagnoses work.

Btw, I still have Bipolar I, Psychotic Features. Another kind nurse told me I don't need anti-psychotics, and no, I don't. I was given Zyprexa by a bitch nurse and it was like getting drunk. I stumbled the halls, almost fell over (possibly did) and woke up with a neon "Fall Risk" bracelet. Anti-psychotics also fucked up my menstrual cycle for years and I have had lingering hormonal isssues. Haha no thanks.

Anyway, I digress. Of course I am fucked up. I lived under family members who questioned my reality, attempted to crush my dreams, threatened me with physical punishment any time I behaved in non-neurotypical ways, violated my rights and interfered with my treatment even though I was a full legal adult, undermined my relationships, tortured and socially isolated me, etc., all under the guise "of knowing best."

In minority cultures, our darkness hides in plain sight, and ESPECIALLY in the Bible Belt, with its supeestition and idolization of familial hierarchy/patriarchy, victims of financial, spiritual, emotional, and physical abuse have no where safe to turn. The Long Arm of the Law is often Short when it comes to "breaking up the family", and women and children are victimized openly with little to no intervention.

On top of doing my Creative Work, I plan to create legislation to make sure that what happened to me and my siblings isn't allowed to go unpunished. We lost my older brother, and I almost died, too, but Enough is Enough.

The Time is Now.

P.S. If Josephine is an Air Nomad I identify as a Water Bender. I basically have no water in my astrological chart, but water signs bring me great comfort in times of need (and make bad romantic partners for me obviously)

Also, this is one Bad Biyatch.

I also found out I am an ISFJ, not INFJ. Yep. Gonna be a Playwright and Director. I want to be a part of the action, not just writing about it.

Welcome to A Cup-pella, Sadie! We’re excited to have you and Harmony Simmons in the game! Please go through the checklist to make sure you’re ready to go and send in your account within the next 24 hours.

OOC INFO

Name + pronouns: Sadie, she/her Age: 22 Timezone: EST Ships: Anything with chemistry! Anti-Ships: N/A

IC INFO

Full Name: Harmony Alexandra Simmons Face Claim: Lauren Lopez Age/Birthday: 23, October 14th, 1995 Occupation: College student and theater performer, volunteer for April’s Growers. Personality: Confident, driven, competitive, empathetic, honest Hometown: Columbus, Ohio Bio: Ever since she was growing within her mother’s womb, Harmony was on the fast track to stardom. Her parents made sure to get her resume started right off the bat with her ultrasound being featured on a Murder, She Wrote episode. Not to mention her infant headshots being used for the Gerber Baby commercials. Her parents had laid out her life for her before she even knew what life was about, and Harmony never once questioned it. Growing up she was always singing, always performing. In her younger years it was at the direction of her parents who only wanted what was best for her and wanted to equip her with the skills to make a name for herself. As she got older, though, it was clear that she was becoming a perfectionist all on her own.

While her parents refused to put their only child through public school they, couldn’t afford any of the local private education so they insisted on homeschooling her instead. Harmony’s days were spent mastering every lead in every musical, singing scales until she could do them in her sleep, and becoming well practiced in most dance styles. As the years went by into late childhood and her early teens, it became evident that she dealt with obsessive compulsive issues. No longer did her parents watch her practice over her shoulder—they knew she would practice every detail until it was perfect. When she wasn’t rehearsing for local roles, she spent her time cleaning and reorganizing her bedroom multiple times a week—especially in times of high stress. Any time her loved ones tried to get her to stop, they were met with a meltdown. Worried for their daughter and how this would affect her future, they took her to a psychologist who diagnosed her with OCD and got her properly medicated with some bouts of trial and error.

When she was about fifteen years old, Harmony was met with her first professional rejection. It was a local production of Annie which, of course, was the role Harmony insisted on playing. That was until a girl she had never seen before had auditioned—she was beautiful, wildly talented, and a worthy opponent to Harmony’s skillset and experience. After her audition she spoke with her, but couldn’t bring herself to deliver her usual over-the-top confident energy in an attempt to intimidate her competition. Instead she stumbled over her words, complimented her classical training she had obviously received, and proceeded to choke during her own audition in comparison. Harmony ended up with the role of Miss Hannigan, but she couldn’t bring herself to care—she was simply too taken by her and was happy just to work alongside her. It was then that she realized she was attracted to women, which explained the lack of male attention she craved. She hadn’t told anyone, however, figuring it wouldn’t matter anyway. This line of work had no room for romantic relationships—she would be married to the stage.

By the time Harmony graduated, there weren’t a lot of lead roles she had yet to play and, truthfully, they were becoming tiresome. She knew she was better than the local theater, but was afraid that wouldn’t change once she went to New York for college. Much to her parents’ disapproval, she strayed away from chasing massive roles once she started taking classes. Instead, she focused on mastering the parts of theater she hadn’t gotten to explore. The improvisational classes had been among a few of her favorites. That caused her to seek out the stage in a less conventional way than she was used to. She began to crave less-known, more dynamic and even characters a little more on the unusual side. She was invited to join a theater troupe that a few of her improv friends had started years ago, and she happily agreed. As of late, she has been learning and mastering various original comedy roles—those roles met with her same professional intensity.

Harmony has taken a liking to the city, just like she knew she would. While Columbus was a big city she was used to, it lacked the thespian atmosphere she craved. She finds herself homesick for her family often and keeps to herself in the small amount of time she isn’t rehearsing for something, but has managed to make a few acquaintances in her classes as well as the time she spends volunteering. She’s very aware that her personality can be hard to swallow, but she doesn’t mind and treats her peers with her odd version of kindness, nonetheless. While her OCD is much more in control than it was when she was younger, she still has flare ups where it is very hard to deal with, but with her strong family support system she has trained herself to find healthy ways to cope.

Relationships:

Hunter Clarington (Roommate): While their personalities typically clash, they are actually quite a good balance for one another. They don’t see each other very often because Harmony spends very little time at home, but the time she is there she spends happily cleaning and organizing, which she knows Hunter doesn’t mind. She knows that her constant singing can get under Hunter’s skin, but other than that they get along just fine most of the time.

Lola, Lacey, and Rowan (Volunteering): Volunteering had always been something that brought Harmony great joy and a sense of fulfilling—other than putting on a show, of course. It had always been very difficult for her to feel she belongs in any setting that wasn’t a theatrical one, but April’s Growers had welcomed her with open arms from the beginning. Feeling like an outcast was something Harmony had dealt with her whole life, and she didn’t think that would end any time soon. But while she wouldn’t say it out loud, the acquaintances she’d made in this group she wouldn’t trade for anything, even if they thought she was annoying.

harmony/@harmonysong/description: actor since fetal stage

Five latest tweets:

@harmonysong: One of my greatest feats in my career so far might just be pulling off this updo with only two hairpins and no hairspray @harmonysong: Should I get a puppy? Maybe a little baby kitty? Two puppies. A TINY SNAKE. @harmonysong: Today’s challenge: do my singing scales but while sounding like Chewbacca @harmonysong: …I might have compulsively made three batches of gluten-free monkey rolls because I couldn’t sleep. Monkey roll, anyone? @harmonysong: I had to wear a fake moustache for rehearsal today, and I have to say… I looked kind of hot?

Finally got to watch Ninja Steel!

A few thoughts on the episode:

Brody:

It looks like our Red Ranger will be the main focus of this season. Not terribly surprising, and luckily, it seems like there are a lot of places for his character and story to go.

Preston:

Preston is a beautiful cupcake that needs protection at all costs. A precious, magic obsessed dork with a smile that warms even my shriveled husk of a heart. Also, we get to see him in his boxers in the very first episode, so A++ writers.

Sarah:

Sarah is the new kid at Summer Cove High. From what we see of her, she’s quite sweet, though her dressing down of Victor after he crashes her board through Preston’s magic show proves that she’s not one to be messed with. She also built her own hoverboard, so she’s probably pretty smart. She’s probably my favorite thus far, and I can’t wait to see more of her.

Hayley and Calvin:

Not much to say about these two, since we sadly only see them briefly in the episode. We can gather that Calvin is mechanically inclined, since he’s fixing his truck in their brief scene. (Calvin and Sarah=Wrench Buddies?) I assume that they have some sort of connection, since they drive to school together, but we obviously don’t know the nature of that until next week. Are they BFF’s? Dating? Siblings? Cousins? Or are they just Carpool buddies?

Also, there is a dog. I hope we get to see lots of this dog. Riley had a dog, and we only got to see it in like, two episodes, which is some bullshit.

Victor and Monty:

Ehh... We’ll see. Never been a fan of the Dumb Jock and Beleaguered Nerd stereotypes, but they could get some laughs, and if done well, maybe even some character growth.

And I know that the guy playing Victor is probably roughly the same age as everyone else, but he’s kind of unconvincing as a teenager. I’ll get used to it, but man, that took me out of the episode for a moment there.

Preston and Sarah:

Preston becomes Sarah’s first friend at her new school. They click pretty quickly, so much so that they seem like old friends by the end of the episode. They have good chemistry, and while I like their friendship, there is definitely room to take the relationship elsewhere, if they felt so inclined.

Galaxy Warriors:

This was the thing I was most interested in this season, and it is pretty cool. I loved the concept from the first press release, mostly because it’s so damn unique. If used well, it could really help make the villains more interesting than their rather generic motives. If not used well, then hey, it could still be a lot of fun.

The Villains:

We sadly don’t get much from the villains in this episode, either. Big Bad Galvanax wants the Ninja Nexus Prism, but why? How did they get mixed up with the Galaxy Warriors show? Why does Madame Odius seem to know so much about the prism? And why doesn’t Ripcon trust Madame Odius? There’s a LOT of potential here, and I really hope it isn’t wasted.

The Backstory:

There is clearly some pretty deep lore that needs to be explored here. From the origin of the prism and the Ninja Nexus Star, the ‘Legend’ of the Power Rangers hinted at by Madame Odius. What exactly is ‘Ninja Steel’? Why was it encasing the Prism? How did Brody’s father know it was special, much less what it was called?

There’s also a lot of questions raised that aren’t necessarily lore related.What happened to Brody’s father? What happened to his brother Aiden in the last 10 years? One might bet that he’ll turn out to be the Gold Ranger, but I don’t know. It feels like a red herring to me.

Also, why was Brody’s dad training him and his brother to become ninjas? Like, what purpose does that serve? Is this the homeschooling alternative to the Wind Ninja Academy? And why are mother’s such a rare creature in this show? We have yet another POC child with white dad, but no mom to indicate whether the kid is meant to be mixed race or adopted.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, I liked it. Had some clunky moments, mainly in dialog, but very fun and sets up some interesting story possibilities. I can’t wait to see how the characters and story develop, and I can’t wait to see more of the game show element. It’s such a unique concept, and I hope it isn’t regulated to just an afterthought.

I give it an 8/10

Zoie-Lynne Interview

I decided to interview Zoie!

The idea came from listening to this week’s Ear Biscuits episode where they interview their kids. I thought it would be fun to take some of their questions and add in some of my own.

To preface this interview we’ve been at home since March 13, I’ve been working full-time at home, she’s been homeschooling full-time, and she’s 6…

I wasn’t surprised… I’m not the best mom and I’ve lost it a couple of times.

What is something cool you’ve learned while being in quarantine?

I learned that a platypus is deadly and is a mammal

It was a pretty fun activity to do together, and I learned a little more from her point of view. My goal is to balance a little more, learn from what she’s said, and maybe interview her again after this is all over.
