ok hear me out on this one folks and let me know if i’m cooking

star trek tos episode that revolves around the trope “trapped in tv land”. something technobabbly happens (maybe similar to the musical episode of snw) and all the characters are placed in a sitcom universe, laugh track and all. none of them realize that anything is wrong as if they’ve lived in this sitcom world their entire lives.

kirk and spock are the unlikely roommates that end up becoming good friends (and even lovers??)

bones is the town doctor, with chapel as his nurse of course. he is often at kirk and spock’s house even though he doesn’t live there

kirk and spock have standard 60s office jobs. uhura is a trusty and speedy switchboard operator. rand is the fastest typist at the office. chekhov and sulu are hard workers, when they aren’t pulling sitcom hijinks (and roping in rand)

scotty is the local auto mechanic, but he can fix about anything.

bones is the first to notice that something seems off. this isn’t right and yet he can’t explain why. the disembodied canned laughter that was a normal part of everyday life has turned terrifying. his friends are worried about him but uhura confesses that she thinks something is wrong too.

the cracks are beginning to show more and more. has every building always had a black void replacing one of it’s walls?

bones and uhura are working tirelessly to figure out a way out. and yet bones almost has hesitations. spock and kirk are happy. they are living a lie. this life doesn’t fit them the way working on a starship does. but they are together in a way they’ve never been before. they are living the peaceful, domestic life they’ve never gotten the chance to live. no duty, no obligations to a ship and crew, no vulcan judgement.

bones knows that he has to get them out of there, but he still has a little guilt.

everyone is disoriented after the fact of course. they suddenly have the memories of their real lives back, combined with memories of a fake world and life.

kirk and spock know that they can’t just brush this experience off. things have changed between them, and they can’t ignore it forever. a part of them misses that simple life, where they only needed each other.

Much Depends on Dinner 2024 Showcase

In Winter 2024, students enrolled in Dr. Margot Finn's ALA 264 Much Depends on Dinner worked in groups to research and write captions for food history materials in the Special Collections Research Center's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and in the collections of the William L. Clements Library.

These were featured on the Shapiro Library Screens in Bert's Study Lounge.

Katzen, Mollie & Mermelstein, Catherine B. (1977). The Moosewood cookbook : recipes from Moosewood Restaurant, Ithaca, New York. Berkeley, California: Ten Speed Press. In the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

“The most influential vegetarian cookbook of all time” – Wall Street Journal 

The Moosewood Cookbook consists of authentic vegetarian food and dessert recipes that incorporate various cultures. Seven founders created the first Moosewood cookbook in 1972 in response to the rise of vegetarianism during the 20th century. These recipes range from the Mushroom Moussaka to the Cardamom Coffee Cake – an Indian spice incorporated into the classic German coffee cake. These simple yet healthy recipes are cooked at the Moosewood restaurant in Ithaca, New York. Make sure you visit the restaurant on your next trip!

[Culinary Menu : Travel - Ships]. 1905-1997. In the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

This menu describes the luncheon served in the three-story first class “Grand Salon” dining room of the British R.M.S “Queen Mary” on Saturday, June 14, 1952, on their weekly trip between Cherbourg, France and New York, USA. Although the cruise ship was initially catered to the upper class before World War II, it eventually expanded to include the tourist classes as well. The menu on the ship changed daily and offered some of the fanciest dishes of the time. The “Queen Mary” is now permanently docked in Long Beach and serves as a floating museum and restaurant.

"I love heartland It's been a great show, I just wished they stick to the storyline. For fans that watch, we keep up. Example, one minute there's a pic of their late mom and it doesn't look like the actress who played her. Then one minute Lou couldn't waitress and got fired and the next she owns it and knows what customers want. Then there's Lisa who is rich but is in jeopardy of losing her horse breeding ranch. There's many tiny loopholes, like Ty's mother, she raised him but didn't? The inconsistency of Ashley's character is funny, one minute she's Amy's arch enemy ("Ashley just drives me insane" ) the next their lifelong friends. I just wish they'd keep up with the storyline. Like Val was a villain in the beginning but she's Jack's friend? Bailing out Caleb for the Bartlett family sake. I sorta can't believe no one else has pointed this out. I do love the show though, and Amber Marshall has made it become the hit it is! She absolutely gorgeous with the horses. I think the worst is the Ty episodes, anybody ever think boy this boy, fell off a cliff, had a motorcycle wreck, had a plane wreck, etc and the boy is still alive but partly klutz?? I just know the stories could have been a bit better. Heck I could have written some things in there for a laugh here and there! And Tim please stay with one woman if you're worried about your girls and the dynamics of your relationship with them! Remember the Callie thingy?? Then it's full force to Janice, Casey, Miranda, Jessica like wow!! Womanizers ok??

Jack is great grandpa though!"

Solar Opposites in Mighty Solars Issue #4: “Fighting for Family” Ch. 3

6 Days later…

At school, Yumyulack is getting ready for gym class while the others are chatting over his sister not being here.

Jackie Quilbar: Has anyone seen Jesse lately?

Boy #1: Where’s your sister?

Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: lying Oh, she’s at Prep n Beauty, must’ve wanted a better school.

Katie: What?

Gerald: Why?!

Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Oh, let’s just say- gets hit by a dodgeball thrown by Jayden

The Headphone Guys laugh.

Aidan: Up your ass Yumyudork!

Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Hey! Not cool, guys!

Jayden: Whateves you fucking loser!

Suddenly Human Jesse shows up.

Human Jesse Solar-Opposites: Any problem here boys?

Brayden: Who the shit is this weirdo?

Monica Miller: Uh, the new girl? You got a problem with that?

Jayden: Yeah! She’s standing up for the freak!

Human Jesse Solar-Opposites: Hey you leave him alone! All kids should be valued! You boys get or else! Monica?!

Monica kicks a board in half.

Monica Miller: Krav Maga! shows off her moves to the Headphone Guys as they run off screaming, except for Mark

Mark: Cool!

Mark then looks at Yumyulack and feels something in him like this:

Mark then walks away, but then notices an old batter up locker that once belong to Stacy G as he grows shock. Later, at PE class, Yumyulack starts playing dodgeball but his team misses as they groan. Yumyulack blushes and laugh nervously.

Wendi: Way to go, weirdo!

Ally: Yeah! Way to blow it!

Yumyulack then looks down sadly but, then notices something underneath his pants that made him run to the restroom. Principal Cooke grows suspicious and follows him. Yumyulack heads to the bathroom. Ms. Perez sees Cooke and follows him. Then, Principal Cooke kicks down the door with his feet. Yumyulack screams.

Ms. Perez: Cooke what are you doing?!

Principal Cooke: Ah-Ha! gasp in shock

To their shock, Yumyulack has human legs. Principal Cooke faints. Yumyulack panics and calls Korvo.

Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Korvo! Help! I think I’m turning into a- starts glowing and screams

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Yumyulack! Yumyulack?!

Then, Ms. Perez and Cooke shield their eyes as the glow gets brighter. The glow then disappears. Then, Ms. Perez and Cooke gasp upon seeing unbelievable: Yumyulack is now a human teenage boy!

Principal Cooke: Aw fuck! I knew that your dads should’ve never given you those vintage lunchables and X-Box Live, damn it!

Ms. Perez: Yumyulack?

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Oh god! I’m human. Wait. checks under his pants

Human Yumyulack grins in joy.

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: No way! I got pubes!

Later at the Solars’ house…

Terry Solar-Opposites: Damn Yumyulack, you really did become a real teenage human boy!

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Oh honey. Your clothes!

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Sorry growth spurt must’ve happened during that transformation.

Phoebe MacCarthy: So what do we do now?

Terry Solar-Opposites: I dunno. Wait for Korvo to become human?

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Oh. I’m sure we got extra clothes for you, Yumyulack. And great news! They’re your human size!

Korvo then gave Human Yumyulack a green hoodie with a white t-shirt and a pair of male jeans.

Phoebe MacCarthy: Nice!

Human Yumyulack then change his clothes in the bathroom as he comes out.

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: I kinda like this!

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Great for you kiddo! But I better head to Vegas next week! That’s where the crime scene La Smaragdus started her crime! Wish me luck guys!

Korvo turns into Quasarblast.

Korvo Solar-Opposites/Quasarblast: I must fly! flies off

Terry Solar-Opposites: Kick some ass honey!

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Good luck K-Dog!

Quasarblast laughs and blows Terry a kiss.

Jesse Solar-Opposites: We’re rooting for you!

Pupa Solar-Opposites: Yay! Korvo!

Phoebe MacCarthy: See you in five days or so!

5 days later…

Quasarblast arrives in Las Vegas at the casino La Smaragdus started her first crime and goes up the security guard.

Security Guard: Who the fuck are you?

Korvo Solar-Opposites/Quasarblast: Your worst fucking nightmare!

Security Guard: Hey go easy man! I can tell you everything!

Quasarblast goes invisible. Then, he opens the door and plays the security footage as he gasp. He then sees La Smaragdus paying of the security guards

Korvo Solar-Opposites/Quasarblast: This is not good…

As he looks closely, Quasarblast then sees La Smaragdus stealing a priceless diamond and turn some the costumers as the superhero Shlorpian turns towards the guards in anger

Suddenly…

Security Guard: Prim Quasarblast out!

Quasarblast gets into a fighting stance. The guards then ambush and shoves Quasarblast into a cement mixer as he screams and is thrown outside as the block breaks and Quasarblast free himself and flies back home. There, Quasarblast turns back into Korvo and hides behind the garbage pail as it starts raining. Korvo groans in frustration He looks up at the Taco Bell sign and sighs because he is behind a dumpster at Taco Bell

Korvo Solar-Opposites: I have the worst luck today.

Korvo then looks up at the sky as rain falls in him.

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Now what do I do?

Suddenly… A nose appears on Korvo’s face as he grow surprised and confused.

Korvo: What the fuck?

Then, ears appear on Korvo as he grow shock

Korvo: Oh god! No!

Korvo then starts glowing.

Korvo Solar-Opposites: glows brighter WHAT THE FUCK’S HAPPENING?!

The glow disappears and Korvo groans and clutches his head.

Korvo Solar-Opposites: offscreen What the hell was that?

Korvo then feels something on his head that made him gasp. Korvo looks himself in the mirror. Korvo screams in shock, because he has now becomes a gorgeous human as he breaths in and out.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Oh God! I’m too attractive!

Human Korvo suddenly hears something.

Janice: offscreen H’no Hello? Anyone out there y’know?

Human Korvo gasps and runs off. Human Korvo then hides in a empanada truck then Randall from Halloween sees him.

Randall: Hey, sir? What are you doing in here?

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: RANDALL FROM HALLOWEEN?!

Randal: Yeah, that’s my name. Why are you-

Janice: offscreen Mr! Wait! Are you okay?!

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: GET AWAY!

Then, someone opens the door and it turns out be Janice from Korvo and Terry’s old job.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Wait. Janice?!

Randall: Huh?

Randall then looks at Janice and grows lovestruck while “True” from Spandau Balledt plays in the background:

Randall: Oh, uh hi.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Janice, it’s me, Korvo!

Janice: What?!

Then Human Korvo gulps and tries think of a better idea. Then, he sees a magazine cover for LBGTQ+ Models and got an idea upon seeing a name.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Uh, I mean Korey.

Randall: Korey?

Janice: H’no, that’s a good name, y’know?

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Uh yes. I just moved here… notices his ripped apart and ruined robe Oh shit! My clothes!

Randall: Oh, that’s okay! I have some old clothes you can have.

Human Korvo then looks in the box and then suddenly looks at the mirror and began to feel infatuated with himself as he flips his long blond hair with his hand and grows smitten.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Whoa whistles, actually, I think this look might do well. See ya folks. takes a pair of clothes and leave

Human Korvo then sees a nearby gym shower and grins with an idea.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Boo-ya!

Special thanks to @avaveevo, @asikreading, @themagicwolf6677, @king-of-squishmallows and all of my watchers for their ideas and support.

My attempt on FeedingHannibal’s (Janice Poon’s Twitter) protein scramble (the first dish Hannibal made for Will)! It came out delicious and I’m so happy with it! A nice first breakfast of 2023! ❤️🥐🍳🍖

My plating isn’t as pretty as Janice’s, so I have much to aspire to. 😚 I also couldn’t find honey garlic sausage so I used brown sugar sausage, poached it, brushed w/ honey & crushed garlic, then browned it. I think I over did the honey a little so will pull back next time. 🍯

❛    I can multitask,    ❜       Janice didn’t even need to be looking at Christine to know there was a pout on her lips, everything about her tone  —   the grumble and stubbornness that was dripping from it    —     screamed that she was pouting.    She is not very good at staying still, of allowing other to pay the same attention of care she always gives;    she doesn’t mind being the center of attention, welcomes it usually, but not when there is a chance the other person could be pitying her. 

Just because her foot is broken doesn’t mean she needs to be worried about.    She can hop from one corner of the room to the other just fine, and just because she doesn’t want Janice to leave, doesn’t mean she doesn’t think she should.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Christine sighs and falls back into the pillows Janice nicely arranged.    ❛    And you got better things to do playing nurse-maid to little old me.   It’s your free shift, you don’t wanna spend cooked up in here.    ❜

The Au Pair Boy Part 1

Surprise!!! I have six chapters of this and really need to start getting it out, so I figured with Act 1 ending last week and my backlog on this and Of Butterflies and Backstrokes (Olympic Swimmer) being so low thanks to me trying to the Halloween themed sequel to Icarus (Metal Band) that I would put this out until I build that back up and lower the amount of backlog this one has.

Summary: Eddie Munson is a in bind, set to go on a three month reunion tour, he is in need of nanny for his twin girls Janice and Joan since his partner, Ethan blew up their lives a year ago. Enter nanny extraordinaire, Steve Harrington. Both men struggle with treading the line between boss/nanny and their strong attraction to each other. Will Eddie learn to trust again? Will Steve realize that he was always meant to be right there by Eddie's side?

~

Eddie hung up the phone with a sigh. He wanted to do the tour, because of course he did. But he also had two very rambunctious little girls now. Eddie was a good dad, but he wasn’t the nurturing kind the way Ethan was. But sometime in the last year, Ethan had changed.

He had grown distant and cold, going as far as yelling at the girls which he never used to do. So Eddie quit producing music to give Ethan some much needed time for himself. Fat lot of good that did.

Because apparently Ethan was banging...well, just about everyone but Eddie’s friends. The pool boy, the guy who delivered their food, the cleaning lady, their personal trainer, hell even the barely legal dog walker got more of his husband’s dick than Eddie did.

Which he didn’t find out, by the way. Ethan had told him after handing him divorce papers and legally renouncing parental rights to Joan and Janice. He threw it in Eddie’s face the numerous affairs he had. The one thing he wouldn’t tell him was why.

Why was Ethan so unhappy when Eddie had done everything right?

He buried his head in hands. Janice and Joan were only four and they had been adopted at birth. They never met the mother and were only told that she didn’t want them and never wanted to see them ever again.

So how could Ethan look at those two little angels and decide the same?

Eddie was heartbroken and not ready to move on. So he had agreed to the tour as a way to cope with the sudden explosion of his life. His friends knew Ethan had left, but they didn’t know the extent of his ex’s destruction.

He thought about taking the girls with him, but they were too little. They wouldn’t have fun and would be more terrified then thrilled. So live-in nanny it was.

Thankfully he had a month to find someone who would cook and clean and watch the girls. Especially after having to fire all of his help in the wake of Ethan’s destruction.

He had this.

~

Eddie did not in fact have this. He only had three more days until he left and he was at his wit’s end. He had rejected candidate after candidate for a myriad of reasons. One only wanted part-time despite the ad before a live in nanny. Another said she was strict disciplinarian and thought spanking was the only way to teach a child. And even another just gave off weird vibes.

So he called the agency one more time.

“You’ve gone through all of our female nannies,” the woman huffed on the other end of the line. “We only have male nannies left, surly you don’t–”

“Just send the best male nanny you’ve got!” Eddie barked. “I don’t care about gender for fuck’s sake.”

“I’m not sure–” the woman protested but Eddie hung up on her.

He didn’t have time to listen to whatever excuse she was going to come up with. He was running out of time before the tour and needed someone. Anyone.

He got a call back five minutes later from another woman telling him that they would be sending over their best male nanny at 2pm if that was acceptable.

He sighed with relief. “Yes, that will be perfect. The girls will be down for their nap then.”

“That’s wonderful, Mr. Munson,” she said cheerfully. “The gentleman we are sending over, his name is Steve Harrington, and I sincerely hope he will be a good fit for you.”

“You and me both,” Eddie sighed again. “You and me both.”

~

When Steve got to the house, he would have liked to have said that he wasn’t impressed because he had seen dozens of large houses and even larger sprawling mansions in his time as a full time nanny, but he was. Very much so.

It wasn’t a gaudy modern monstrosity for starters. It liked a Victorian era manor that had been modernized for living in today. It gave off a spooky vibe, but in a fun way and not a horror movie way. Like the Addams family or the Munsters kind of vibe.

He really dug it.

He went up and knocked on the door. It swung open almost immediately to reveal a pretty, petite woman with sparkling green eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She had a sweet smile.

He knew this wasn’t the mother, the file said that it was a single father of twin girls. A rockstar of some sort, though Steve didn’t recognize the name. This must be some kind of servant or PA or something.

“Hi, I’m Steven Harrington,” he greeted putting out his hand for her to shake. “I have a two o’clock appointment with Eddie Munson about the nanny position.”

Her smile widened, dimpling her cheeks. “Hi, I’m Chrissy Cunningham, I’m Corroded Coffin’s manager. Come on in, he’s waiting for you.”

Steve followed her through the house. It was just as impressive as the outside. It was beautifully decorated in dark browns, reds, and black. God, he hoped he got the job. He could really see himself living here.

She opened the door to the office allowed him to walk through, closing it behind him. Which normally wouldn’t have been a problem for Steve but now he was in a room with the hottest guy he had ever seen in his life and he really didn’t need an erection at a job interview.

Eddie looked up, and yup. Steve was done for. He had the biggest brown eyes he had ever seen outside of a Disney cartoon.

“Mr. Munson?” he said, reaching out for a handshake, mustering up every ounce of professionalism he had. “Steven Harrington, how do you do? You can call me Steve.”

Eddie grinned back. “Hey, Steve. Thanks for coming at such a short notice. I understand you’ve been brought up to speed on everything I’ll be needed you to do?”

Steve crossed his legs and put his hands on his lap. Shit, even his voice was sexy as fuck.

“Yes, I’ll be watching the children twenty-four/seven,” Steve recited dutifully, “with doing all of the cooking and some of the cleaning.”

“That’s right,” Eddie said. “That normally wouldn’t be the case, but I’ve had to recently fire all of my staff. In fact, if you are hired on, you’ll be working with Chrissy over the next couple of months to help bring staff back on. I would be putting a lot of trust in you not to fuck me over.”

Steve nodded. It was a bit like Robin’s period dramas. He would be running the household while Eddie was away.

“Wouldn’t Chrissy be needed on tour with you?” he asked, not sure what her role actually was.

Eddie shook his head. “She usually does, but I need her here to help to get this house running again. It was hard enough trying to explain to the girls why everyone had to leave. Especially their other dad. She just has her own place and a very demanding job. And the other people I trust with my kids are going on tour with me, so...”

“Yeah, I can see that,” Steve said huffing out a chuckle. “I’m willing and able to take the job. There is just one more thing we have to do first.”

Eddie cocked his head to the side. “I don’t think I offered you the job yet.”

Steve burst out laughing. “No, I don’t suppose you did. But you really should. I’m really good with kids, I’m great cook, my references are impeccable, I have a degree in early child development, and you’re desperately out of time.”

“I noticed that all your previous families had older kids,” Eddie said picking up Steve’s resume. “Can you explain that?”

“Yes,” Steve said with a sigh. “Unfortunately, despite being practically perfect in every way,” Eddie huffed out a small laugh, “if I was a woman I would be the most sought after nanny in the whole god damned state. Even more so if I was older fifty. But because I’m a young man not even thirty yet and all they see is a predator.”

Eddie winced. He held up a finger. He picked up his phone and called the agency. “Hello? Hi Nancy, this is Eddie Munson. Yes, I will be taking Steve Harrington on as my nanny. Thank you so much for sending him over. Can you tell me who it was the first person I spoke to this morning? Yes, yes that’s the one. Kindly inform her that pushing harmful stereotypes only makes you look stupid. Mhmm. Yes. Yes. I want her fired. Thank you. Goodbye.”

Steve looked at him in awe. “Oh wow.”

Eddie grinned at him but before he could open his mouth to say something more, Chrissy poked her head in. “Sorry to disturb you but guess who woke up?”

“Janice?” Eddie replied with a fond smile.

“And guess who woke up her sister because she wanted someone to play with?” Chrissy said.

“Also Janice.” He sighed and turned to Steve. “You want to meet my little monsters?”

Steve smiled and stood up. “That was the one thing I was going to suggest we do before you hire me, is meet the girls. But having met their dad, I can already tell they’re going to be a handful.”

“Hey!” Eddie protested. But Chrissy laughed.

“Come on,” he said grumpily, “let’s go see the munchkins.”

Chrissy opened the door all of the way and Eddie and Steve followed her out. They reached the kitchen and there seating at a table were two of the cutest kids Steve had ever worked for. They both had light, curly brown hair and deep brown eyes, but that was where their similarities ended.

The one of the right had her hair pulled back in a messy ponytail with a denim overalls over a pink shirt. The overalls had a cute pink kangaroo on the pocket on the front. The girl on the left had her hair carefully braided and wore light blue shirt and a black pleated skirt. They were both munching on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

“Meet Janice and Joan,” Eddie said brightly. “Janice is the one on the right and the other is Joan. Janice is the oldest by seven minutes and she never lets Joan forget it.”

Joan stuck her tongue out at her dad around her sandwich and then went back to munching on it. Janice looked over at Steve and cocked her head to the side.

“Who’s that, Daddy?” she asked. And suddenly Steve was struck by how much the little girl acted like her dad.

“Girls,” Eddie said sternly, “do you remember when I said that Daddy was going to be gone for three months and you were going to be looked after by a new friend?”

Joan scrunched her nose and Steve was endeared. “Is he like one of those nannies that were so mean to us?”

“No, of course not, Joanie,” Eddie said, “not a nanny...” He looked to Steve for help.

“I’m what’s called an au pair,” he said brightly. “I’m here to watch over you and do a little of the cooking and cleaning, too. A nanny wouldn’t do that right?”

Joan and Janice shared a glance. And Steve was struck for the first time that they were really were twins. They acted so differently that he had already put them in separate boxes. But they moved in unison as they both shrugged.

“I guess not,” Janice huffed. “Are you going to be fun like Chrissy or strict like Daddy?”

The adults laughed as Steve walked over to the table. “My hope is to be somewhere in the middle. But I guess we’ll just have to see.”

He turned to Eddie and Chrissy. “If it’s all right, I’d like to get started now, give the girls time to get use to my presence while you’re still here, Eddie. That way we can smooth out any real problems before you go.”

Chrissy and Eddie shared a glance.

“Yeah,” Eddie said, “that’ll be fine. Great even. I’ll give you a couple of hours to get your things and come back here. Would you be okay making us dinner?”

Steve beamed at him. “Sure, give me an idea of what you guys like and I’ll find something to make you. Let’s consider it part of the interview.”

Eddie smiled back. “Well I think you have yourself a deal.”

Steve and Eddie shook hands.

This was either going to the best decision of Eddie’s life or his worst. Currently the jury and his brain were still out on that one.

The FTC has Big Pharma’s number

On November 27, I'm appearing at the Toronto Metro Reference Library with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

On November 29, I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

The most consistent bright spot in the dark swirl of US politics is the competence of the Biden Administration's progressive enforcers: people like Rohit Chopra, Jonathan Kanter and Lina Khan, who keep demonstrating just how far a good administrator can go. Anyone can have a vision, but knowing how to execute is the difference between hot air and real change:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/23/getting-stuff-done/#praxis

Take a minute to contrast Biden's administrators with Trump's: Trump's administrators had an ideological vision just as surely as Biden's do, and Trump himself had a much more pronounced and explicit ideology than Biden, whose governance style is much more about balancing the Democratic Party's blocs than bringing about a specific set of policies:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/06/personnel-are-policy/#janice-eberly

But whatever clarity of vision the Trump administration brought to DC was completely undermined by its incompetence (thankfully!). Apart from one gigantic tax break, Trump couldn't get stuff done. He couldn't deliver, because he'd lose his temper or speak out of turn:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/14/when-youve-lost-the-fedsoc/#anti-buster-buster

And his administrators followed his lead. Scott Pruitt was appointed to run the EPA after a career spent suing the agency. It could have been the realization of his life's dream to dismantle environmental law in America and open the floodgates for unlimited, wildly profitable corporate pollution and pillaging. But the dream died because he kept getting embroiled in absurd scandals – like the time he sent his staffers out to drive around all night looking for a good deal on a used mattress:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/epa-s-pruitt-told-aide-obtain-old-mattress-trump-hotel-n879836

Or his insistence on installing a CIA-style "Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility" (SCIF) so he could play super-spy while reading memos:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/26/politics/epa-administrator-scott-pruitt-sound-proof-booth-scif/index.html

Or the time he sent his security detail to the Ritz-Carlton to demand that they supply him lots of little bottles of his favorite hand-cream:

https://www.vox.com/2018/6/7/17439044/scott-pruitt-ritz-carlton-moisturizing-lotion

There were other examples in the Trump administration, but Priutt is such a good case-study. He's like a guy who spent his whole life training to compete in the Olympics, and finally got a shot, only to be disqualified for ordering too much room-service in the Olympic Village. Priutt was wildly ambitious, but he was profoundly undisciplined – and wildly incompetent.

Compare that with Biden's progressive enforcers and agency heads, who showed up on the first day of work with an encyclopedic knowledge of their administrative powers, and detailed plans for using them to transform the lives of the American people for the better:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/18/administrative-competence/#i-know-stuff

The Biden administration's competence translates into action, getting stuff done. Maybe that shouldn't surprise us, given the difference between the stories that reactionaries and progressives tell about where change comes from.

In reactionary science fiction, we enter the realm of the "Competent Man" story. Think of a Heinlein hero, who is "able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly."

In Competent Man stories, a unitary hero steps into the breach and solves the problem – if not single-handedly, then as the leader of others, whose lesser competence is a base metal that the Competent Man hammers into a tempered blade:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/RobertAHeinlein

Contrast this with a progressive tale, like, say, Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry For the Future, where the Competent Man is replaced by the Competent Administration, in which people of goodwill and technical competence figure out how to join forces to create population-scale architectures of participation that allow every person to contribute their skills and perspective:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/12/03/ministry-for-the-future/#ksr

The right's whole ideology insists that the world can only be saved by Competent Men. As Corey Robin writes in The Reactionary Mind, the unifying factor that binds together conservative factions from monarchists to racists to Christian Dominionists is the belief that a few of us are born to rule, and the rest to be ruled over:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/05/25/mafia-logic/#mafia-logic

The Reaganite insistence that governments are, by their very nature, incompetent and malign ("The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I’m from the government, and I’m here to help'"), means that conservatives deny the possibility of a Competent Administration.

When conservatives take office and proceed to bungle the most basic elements of administration, they're fulfilling their own campaign narrative, which starts with "We must dismantle the government because it is bad at everything." Conservatives who govern badly prove their own point, which explains a lot about the UK Tory Party's long run of governmental failure and electoral success:

https://apnews.com/article/uk-suella-braverman-fired-cabinet-shuffle-7ea6c89306a427cc70fba75bc386be79

There's a small mercy in the fact that so many of the most ideologically odious and extreme conservative governments are so technically incompetent in governing, and thus accomplish so little of their agendas.

But the inverse – the incredible competence of the best progressive administrators – is nothing short of a delight to witness. Here's the latest example to cross my path: the FTC has intervened in a lawsuit over generic insulin pricing, on an issue that is incredibly technically specific and also fantastically important:

https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/ftc-blasts-pharmas-abuse-fda-patent-system-sanofi-mylans-insulin-monopoly-lawsuit

The underlying case is before the FDA, and it concerns the dirty tricks that pharma giant Sanofi used to keep Mylan from making a generic version of Mylan's Lantus insulin after its patent expired.

There's an explicit bargain in patents: inventors can enlist the government to punish their rivals for copying their ideas, but in exchange, the government demands that the inventor has to describe how the invention works in a detailed patent filing, and when the patent expires, 20 years later, rivals can use the patent application as instructions for freely copying and selling the invention. In other words: you get 20 years of exclusive rights in return for facilitating your competitors' copying and selling your invention when the 20 years are up.

Pharma doesn't like this, naturally: not content with 20 years of exclusivity, they want the government to step in and punish their competitors forever. In service to that end, pharma companies have perfected a process called evergreening, where they dribble out ancillary patents after their initial filing, covering minor reformulations, delivery systems, or new uses.

Evergreening got a moment in the public eye earlier this year, with John Green's viral campaign to shame Johnson & Johnson out of using evergreening to restrict poor countries' access to TB medication:

https://armandalegshow.com/episode/john-green-part-1/

The story of pharma is that it commands gigantic profits, but it invests those profits into medicines that save our lives. The reality is that most of the key underlying pharma research is publicly funded (by Competent Administrators who apportion funding to promising scientific inquiry). Pharma companies' most inventive genius is devoted to inventing new evergreening tactics:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/19/solid-tumors/#t-cell-receptors

That's where the FTC comes in, in this Sanofi-Mylan case. To facilitate the production of generic, off-patent drugs, the FDA maintains a database called the "Orange Book," where pharma companies are asked to enumerate all the ancillary patents associated with a product whose patent is expiring. That way, generics manufacturers who make their own version of these public domain drugs and therapeutics don't accidentally stumble over one of those later patents – say, by replicating a delivery system or special coating that is still in patent.

This is where the endless, satanic inventiveness of the pharma sector comes in. You see, US law provides for triple damages for "willful patent infringement." If you are a generics manufacturer eyeing up a drug whose patent is about to expire and you are notified that some other patents might be implicated in your plans, you must ensure that you don't accidentally infringe one of those patents, or face business-destroying statutory damages.

So pharma companies stuff the Orange Book full of irrelevant patent claims they say may be implicated in a generic manufacture program. Each of these claims has to be carefully evaluated, both by a scientific team and a legal team, because patents are deliberately obfuscated in the hopes of tricking an inattentive patent examiner into granting patents for unpatentable "inventions":

https://blueironip.com/patents-that-hide-the-ball/

What's more, when a pharma giant notifies the FDA that it has ancillary patents that are relevant to the Orange Book, this triggers a 30-month delay before a generic can be marketed – adding 2.5 years to the 20 year patent term. That delay is sometimes enough to cause a manufacturer to abandon plans to market a generic drug – so the delay isn't 2.5 years, it's infinite.

This is a highly technical, highly consequential form of evergreening. It's obscure as hell, and requires a deep understanding of patent obfuscation, ancillary patent filings, generic pharma industry practice, and the FDA's administrative procedures.

Sanofi's Orange Book entry for Lantus insulin listed 50 related patent claims. Of these, 48 were invalidated through "inter partes" review (basically the Patent Office decided they shouldn't have allowed these claims to be included on a patent). Neither of the remaining two claims were found to be relevant to the manufacture of generic Lantus.

This is where the FTC's filing comes in: their amicus brief doesn't take a position whether Sanofi's Orange Book entries were fraudulent, but they do ask the FDA to intervene to prevent Orange Book stuffing because "improper listings can cause significant harm to competition and consumers."

This is the kind of boring, technical, important stuff that excellent administrators can do. The FTC's brief is notice to the FDA that it should amend its procedures to ban (and punish) Orange Book abuse. That will make it possible for you, a person who needs medicine, to get that medicine more cheaply and quickly. In America's pay-for-use privatized healthcare hellscape, this could be a life-or-death matter.

There's plenty of things the Biden administration is getting very, very badly wrong, but we shouldn't lose sight of how its progressive wing is making real, lasting change for the better. Competent Administrations are the true peoples' champions. They beat Competent Men every time.

Obesity: The Science, Culture, and Politics of Fatness in America 

In Fall 2023, students enrolled in Dr. Margot Finn's course on the science, culture, and politics of obesity worked in groups to research and write captions for food history materials.

Most of these items were from the Special Collections Research Center's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

These were featured on the Shapiro Library Screens in Bert's Study Lounge.

M. L. Holbrook, Eating for Strength (New York, M. L. Holbrook & co. [c1888]). Library of Congress. 

The 1888 edition of Eating for Strength, a popular 19th century work on diet written by Martin Luther Holbrook approaches food in a scientific manner, outlining the dietary needs of various classes of people and looking at the healthfulness of various foods. This book includes information about food and diet in relation to health and work, together with several hundred recipes for different foods and drinks. All of these tables illustrate the protein, carbohydrate, and fat content of some of the most common foods that characterized the diets of that era. This underscores how even over 100 years ago, these three macronutrients were seen as important to monitor in order to curb obesity.

Keeping Your Weight Down (Westfield, N.Y. : Welch Grape Juice Co., [1921?]). Janie Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

Published by Welch Juice Company in 1921, this recipe book called Keeping Your Weight Down suggests that Welch's Grape Juice can aid in weight maintenance, and emphasizes its importance in influencing desired health benefits with their beverage. The monochrome-purple book cover showcases an idealized “thin” model covered in loose night clothing, examining a weight scale. Inside, “Pudding and Desserts” recipes are listed in sections with the usage of Welch brand ingredients. Framing grapes as dessert, often eliminated in dieting practices, allows for the luxury of sweets within the strictures of losing weight.

Ruth West, Stop Dieting! Start Losing! (New York : E.P. Dutton & Company, Inc., 1956.). Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive. 

Although Ruth West’s Stop Dieting! Start Losing! was a dieting recipe book published in 1956, the artifact has a startling resemblance to modern attitudes about weight, despite the huge body of research conducted on obesity since this time. Today, It’s easy to laugh at slogans like “how to lose 2 to 3 pounds a week” and “16 foods for sex appeal and vitality,” but how different are these claims from those we hear today from diet magazines, social media and even our own medical professionals? Is the rigor of evidence from then to now all that different?

heres my human classic freddy band

I just made them this week, so I don't have much but... Heres some ideas I have for this band:

The Freddy crew is a concept/brand made by Willy & Henry, so the performers for each restaurant is different. But these are the most popular ones, because they were from the first diner that opened.

Henry, just like his home life, is kinda neglectful on the business. That means William is more on the management of everything. But when Willy isn't checking on things, then Freddy's actor is in charge.

The performer that plays Freddy seems like a very scary guy by looks (like a mob boss) but he cares ALOT. About the kids, the business and his band members. He's the ONLY one willing to talk up to William. He keeps the band's spirit up and put that bad Foxy in his place when he's going too far with his bully. In return, Foxy reminds him that the reason his top hat is so big is that he's insecure of how short he is. Freddy's actor name is George, and he is 55 y/o

The performer that plays Bonnie is a woman. She doesn't talk, to not break the emersion of Bonnie the Bunny being a guy, but that and the name combine leads kids to this day to think Bonnie was the first character to get a female variant. Bonnie's actor name is Janice, and she is 27 y/o. Her quiet act also converts to an everyday thing, which lets her find out about any work drama. A lot of the time, Janice tries and get mentoring from Willy to be the best Bonnie she could be; It doesn't really work. But as long as Bonnie is this his goofy self like the old fredbear show days, she'll be just fine.

The performer that plays Chica name is Shirley, and she is 34 y/o. She's a damn great back up singer and is good with a tambourine and trumpet. Shirley would love to be on stage more if Willy wasn't rushing her to get back to the kitchen to make the next batch of pizza. Because of the last cook quitting in short notice and the business being low on cash from fighting some recent lawsuits, Shirley, once the head chef, is now the ONLY chef. She has a pet dog, because of her work hours she decided to keep her dog in the back where storage is. One day her dog escaped to the front but was stuck in a little cupcake prop, after that incident, Henry heard of it. Though, it was so funny and interesting that he made her dog apart from the performance.

The performer that plays Foxy is an angry, functional drunk SCOT man. His name if Francis, he's 41 y/o and he'll talk to anyone the way he wants to because to him, he only speaks the truth. Foxy and Bonnie hate each others ... but the actors are cool with each other tho (as long they don't say something offhand that's not on script). He's a snuggling actor who FINALLY got his big break at this diner. He friends with the rats in the back of storage which helps Shirley alot.

^ my friend helped me on the foxy one cuz i had nothin on him.

Not a human au exclusive but the band plays songs like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the good swing jazz.

Solar Opposites in: Ultra Opposites Episode #14: “New Ultra Opposites” (by @avaveevo)

One morning, the Ultra Opposites came home after an exhausted as they wipe the sweat off them

Terry/Solar Flare: Boy. What a day.

Yumyulack/Psylock: I’ll say

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Well, even though being a hero is hard work, it sure is worth it

Yumyulack/Psylock: I agree!

Terry/Solar Flare: But boy, was that stressful!

Jesse/Electra: I know right?!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Jesse, calm down.

Jesse/Electra: Ugh! I sometimes hate being a superhero! It’s too much pressure! gets cool down hug by Legendary Super Shlorpian Thanks Korvo… sorry…

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: It's all good.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Hey look! The news!

News Report: This just in, the Ultra Opposites save the day again! Thank you so much! And in other three planets are having a peace summoning tonight in GeenaDavisville!

Terry/Solar Flare: Aw...

Janiz/Lady Super Shlorpian: Hmm… you know since nothing bad is happening, we could all use a break from being heroes.

Yumyulack/Psylock: I agree. Nothing bad is happening right now…

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Plus, Ophelia is gone. No villain sighting lately.

Terry/Solar Flare: Good point. Stress had gotten to us lately.

Jesse/Electra: Yeah. Boy am I exhausted…

News Reporter: In other news, Evil Empress Ophelia who was assumed to be dead has come back to life!

Ultra Opposites: SAY WHAT?!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: But how?

Terry/Solar Flare: Yeah! We defeated her! She's gone, right!

Korvo/Legendary Super Sholrpian: Hmm… that strange. That powerful blast we all combine should’ve destroyed her… what is she upto?

Suddenly, one of Ophelia’s minions attacks the news reporter.

News Reporter: Oh shit! This not good! Ultra Opposites, where are you?!

The screen shows static and the Ultra Opposites gasp. Meanwhile, Cherie, who was playing with Pezlie, sees the news in her new home and gasp as she went up to Montez, Nova, Jamie and Darcy.

Cherie: Guys! Ophelia is back!

The others gasp.

Jamie: What? But we defeated her!

Darcy: We have to stop her!

Montez: I agree!

Nova: We better go get the others!

We then cut to the festival where Ophelia is undercover.

Ophelia: Hmmm, sees Princess Chloe meditating a princess?

Princess Chloe: Ooommmm. Oooommmmmmy GOODNESS I CAN’T HANDLE THIS!

Princess Chloe takes a deep breath and runs out.

Princess Chloe: Ooh! Nothing is working! I just have to get it together! Just go in there! And ask! This is your Festival! Everyone’s happiness rests in your hands. facepalms Ohhhh!

Ophelia smirks. Then Princess Chloe comes in and sees Queen Sabine, one of the rulers of one of the three planets

Queen Sabine: Chloe.

Princess Chloe: takes a deep breath Good morning, your highness. Thank you all for seeing me. I have an idea that I think will make our Festival the most wonderful celebration Earth has ever seen!

Queen Sabine: I’m sure everyone will love it.

Princess Chloe: Oh and I am sure everyone will love it! Hopefully with the speech tonight too, by… sees the name on the list Mia?

Queen Sabine: Why yes. She has been practicing lately. I met her last week. She did great

Princess Chloe: I see.

Queen Sabine: Mmm-hmm

Meanwhile with the Ultra Opposites.

Terry/Solar Flare: There’s the school come on! We have to tell Frankie and Cooke!

In the school, Mia was busy getting ready for her first time being teach in language learning.

Mia: takes a deep breath Make those kids proud.

Mia comes and sees her new students.

Mia: Morning, students! speaks in Spanish

Students: Huh?

Mia: Oh! It means “It’s good to meet you���

Students: Oh. Wow. Nice.

Suddenly, Solar Flare and Electra come barging in.

Terry/Solar Flare: Sorry to interrupt students. But, everyone head home immediately. You’re all in danger. Ophelia is back.

Mia: What?! Oh my God! Kids, get home to safety quick!

Students: Uh oh! I don’t wanna die! I’m outta here!

As the kids leave, Mia looks at Solar Flare and Electra in worry.

Jesse/Electra: Sorry to barge in here Mia.

Mia: It’s all good. Thanks for the warning… gets lovestruck by Ms. Perez walking by

Terry/Solar Flare: Uh, Mia? Mia? Mia!

Mia: Huh? What?

Terry/Solar Flare: It’s true. Ophelia is back and you have to get for safety. Quick.

Mia: On it!

Meanwhile with Legendary Super Shlorpian and Psylock.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Psylock, tell the rest of the school to get the safety! I’ll go get Cooke and Frankie!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Got it!

A few seconds later…

Miss Frankie: OPHELIA IS BACK?!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: I’m afraid she is.

Principal Cooke: Oh fuck! We better go stop her! I hope the others got the message!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Hopefully they did!

Then, the other Ultra Opposites bust in through the walls, much to Legendary Super Shlorpian, Principal Cooke and Miss Frankie’s surprise.

Miss Frankie: Well that was fast…

Nova/Lady Roseus: Hey, Korvo!

Sherbet/Violet: Hey guys! What’s up?

Cherie/Agent Red: We saw the news! This is not good! We have to get to the festival!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Well, thank god you’re you’re all here.

Montez/The Master: Us too!

Psylock and Dark Matter appear.

Kevin/The Flamethrower: Uh, is Solar Flare and Electra here too?

Daryl/Dark Matter: We think so?

Yumyulack/Psylock: Yeah, they’re here. They’re just-

Solar Flare and Electra then flies in there after warning everyone.

Jesse/Electra: We did it, Korvo!

Terry/Solar Flare: We got everyone in the school to safety! Now, let’s head to that festival!

Back at the festival. Thunder cloud and green lighting appear as everyone froze in shock.

Camerman: WHAT IS THAT?!

Eric: What the fuck is happening now?!

Ophelia’s fortress appears.

Ophelia: Hello GeenaDavisVille! I’m baaaaaacccckkk! laughs evilly

People starts screaming and running away. Princess Chloe comes with Queen Sabine and gasp in terror.

Queen Sabine: Ophelia?!

Ophelia: Well well. If it isn’t my old friend Sabine.

Queen Sabine: What are you doing here? You are not getting your hands on the cosmic blast!

Ophelia: It’s too late! It has already chosen some worthless defenders last year!

Princess Chloe: Your majesty, what is going on?!

Queen Sabine: I’m afraid the old empress is after us again. But did you say it chose defenders on this planet?

Ophelia explains everything.

Ophelia: You say, when I try to obtain the orb, it was sadly propel to earth. Then, it shatters into pieces and have chosen a group of pathetic super heroes known as the Ultra Opposites, led by four aliens who are also a family!

Queen Sabine gasps.

Queen Sabine: Defenders? Amazing? By what did you say there are four aliens on this planet too, that leads the new warriors?

Ophelia: Exactly! Those four ruined my plans!

Princess Chloe: Wait? Who are these four aliens? What species are they?!

Ophelia: Shlorpians!

Queen Sabine: gasp You mean the ones who always have their planet destroyed and search for new homes?

Ophelia: groans YES!

Princess Chloe: What are the names of the four champions?

Ophelia: Solar Flare, Electra, Psylock, and The Legendary Super Shlorpian

Queen Sabine: Well, I think these orbs chose them for a reason. And I believe these warriors will stop you!

Ophelia laughs.

Ophelia: Nice try! I’m sure these heroes are not powerful enough anymore! They can’t stop me!

Terry/Solar Flare: Stop right there!

The town gasp in joy and cheer because the Ultra Opposites are now here!

Ophelia: YOU?! UGH!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Stay away from those rulers! Or else!

Ophelia: Or else what?!

Randall/Ultra Man: Or else this!

Ultra Man punches Ophelia, who lands towards a tent and growls.

Ophelia: How dare you!

Terry/Solar Flare: Nice punch Ultra Man!

Randall/Ultra Man: Thanks S.F.!

Daryl/Dark Matter: Now, it’s me and Psylock’s turn!

Violet then changes color and grabs Princess Chloe to safety. Psylock and Dark Matter uses brain waves that blast Ophelia but she got out a strange orb as she growls.

Queen Sabine: gasp Ultra Opposites! Go! Quick! I got this!

But then, the orb petrified Sabine into a statue at the Ultra Opposites gasp but then they notice something glowing in Ophelia’s pouch.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: An orb piece!

Ophelia grins evilly and shows the heroes three orb pieces, and the colors are neon green, peaches n cream and orange.

Montez/The Master: Oh no! We have to get them away from her! Quick!

Yumyulack/Psylock: On it!

Terry/Solar Flare: Korv! Look out!

Luckily, Legendary Super Shlorpian turns into his Super Shlorpian and flies up before Ophelia could for an attack.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Eat brain waves!

Ophelia flies into a wall and growls.

Ophelia: That does it!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Psylock! Wait! The blast might blew the-

Just as Psylock sues his mind wave, it ends up blowing the three orb pieces out of the pitch as they split up and flies towards three different area in town

Yumyulack/Psylock: Uh oh.

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Oh shit.

Princess Chloe: Oh no! These orb pieces might fall into the wrong hands!

Ophelia: Grr! That’s it! This is war Ultra Opposites! Once I found the three orb pieces, I’ll destroy you once and for all!

Ophelia then leaves as the Ultra Opposites began to think of plan. Princess Chloe however starts panicking.

Sherbet/Violet: You okay, your highness?

Princess Chloe breathes in and out.

Princess Chloe: Oh no! All that hard work! It’s all for nothing! What do we do now?!

Terry/Solar Flare: Don’t worry. We’ll handle it!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: We go find the three orb pieces that’s what!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Then let’s split up!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Violet, you go to that area where the orange orb is at!

Princess Chloe sighs sadly.

Sherbet/Violet: On it!

Terry/Solar Flare: Psylock and Electra! You two along with Shadow Lady, Super Cooke, Princess Chloe, Ultra Man, Dark Matter, Darcina, Firey and Flamethrower goes to where the neon green orb is at!

Jesse/Electra: Yes sir!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Agent Red, Master, Lady Roseus, you’re with me!

Randall/Ultra Man: Actually I should go with you two! Someone is gonna need muscle!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Hmm. Very well!

The group splits up.

Terry/Solar Flare: Alright! Guys, let’s move out!

Back with Janiz, she then hears a beeping going in the ship’s communicator and gasp.

Janiz: Another orb piece?! checks the view on the location Alright! Let’s do this!

Janiz transforms into Lady Super Shlorpian.

Janiz/Lady Super Shlorpian: Look our world! You’re about to meet…. LADY SUPER SHLORPIAN!

Lady Super Shlorpian does a pose and turns into her Super Shlorpian form and flies off. Back with Legendary Super Shlorpian, Solar Flare, Agent Red, Ultra Man, Master and Lady Roseus, they manage to track down where the peaches n cream orb is at.

Cherie/Agent Red: Where could it be?

Montez/The Master: Found the location?

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: There it is!

Terry/Solar Flare: Yep is at the…: finds the location and gets upset Oh no…

Nova/Lady Roseus: What is it?!

The heroes look up and it turns out to be at the Rake Company. Legendary Super Shlorpian faints.

Terry/Solar Flare: The rake company?! God damn it! sighs We’ll explain later… right now, we need to detransform and disguise ourselves in the meantime.

Montez/The Master: Okay?

Nova/Lady Roseus: I like that plan!

Cherie/Agent Red: Great idea!

Legendary Super Shlorpian wakes up and hears the plan as he nods. The group detransforms.

Terry: Okay! Randall, do you have the perfect disguises?!

Randall: Yep, right here.

Randal gives his friends disguises as they put them on. Later, the six heroes head inside while Terry and Korvo are shown wearing their old office clothes and wearing fake moustache and two wigs.

Korvo: I look ridiculous.

Terry: Relax. You look great, boo.

Korvo: Aw…

The two husbands kiss. Then, Cherie disguise as a janitor, nods for the signal.

Terry: Let’s go.

Korvo leaves with Cherie, Montez and Nova while Terry leaves with Randall. A few seconds later…. Terry and Randall sees an office and sneaks in there

Randall: Are you sure we won’t get caught?

Terry: opens a vile cabinet Relax, we’re on a low profile. digs through What’s the worse that could happen?

Suddenly, Janice appears.

Janice: H’no is someone there y’know?

Terry: Shit! I know that voice! Get down!

As Randall and Terry get down, suddenly, Janice sees them and gasp.

Janice: Terry?

Terry: Oh god. It’s Janice.

Randall: Who?

Terry’s fake mustache falls off.

Janice: H’no hello Terry, I haven’t seen you y’know

Randall: Hi-I-I gets awestruck upon seeing Janice

Terry: Uh, Randall? Are you okay?

Randall: Oh uh clears his throat ahem. Nice to meet you uh-

Janice: Janice.

Cue the song “Dreamweaver”:

Randall: Whoa blushes

Terry: Dude. Don't tell me you're in love with her.

Randall: But she seem so nice

Terry: Well, she was my co-worker.

Randall: Wait? She is?

Janice: H'no, he's not wrong, y'know.

Randall: Wait? You used to work here Terry? What happened?

Terry sighs sadly and explains everything.

Terry: The Pupa had a huge meltdown!

Randall: He did?

Terry: Yeah. It turns out he wanted attention and we were forced give up sci-fi for our lives, which made our lives fucked up miserable! Our boss Mr. Sarner was even a dick!

Janice: H'no, I'm so sorry you had to go throught that, y'know.

Terry: It’s okay Janice. And the worst of all, Sarner is now now dead. I become the boss. But it went badly because it led to me and Korvo having a big fight. But we made up and we decided to give up our jobs because the Pupa doesn’t need all that.

Randall: I think you did the right thing.

Terry: Thanks. But, you don’t wanna how Sarner died

Randall: What happened to Sarner?

Terry starts crying.

Terry: tearfully A ping pong accident!

Randall gasps.

Randall: Oh my god! How?

Terry wipes away his tears.

Terry: Korvo and I wanted a ping pong table to make work less boring. So, we got people to sign a petition to have it under the boiler room and then, Sarner died playing ping pong!

Randall: If you don't mind me asking, how does someone die from playing ping pong?

Terry: Oh. You don’t wanna fucking know man! notices his fingers turning black Oh no! Not again! starts growing bigger and muscular and his skin starts turning black as his clothes rip into pieces while his wig falls off

Randall: Terry?!

Then, Randall realizes that Terry is turning into his Mundane form because he got emotional and stress and backs away with Janice. Terry’s eyes starts glowing orange as he turns into his Mundane form and roars while banging his chest.

Janice: H'no, Terry, what happened to you, y'know?!

Mundane Terry breaths in and out while Korvo, comes in with a disguise of his own with Cherie, Nova and Montez and sees his husband transformed.

Korvo: Terry!

Korvo comes up and hugs his overwhelmed Mundane husband as he began to calm down.

Mundane Terry: Korvy...

Korvo: Oh I think this work place has brought up terrible memories of us working here huh?

Mundane Terry whimpers. Then, he breaks down crying while Korvo comforts him by soothing his face and gets out a tissue to dry his tears away.

Korvo: There there. It's gonna be okay, Terry.

Janice: H’no I had no idea Terry could do that y’know.

Korvo sighs.

Korvo: Actually he is half mundane. It runs in Terry’s family for years and as for my side of the family, we turn into monsters too.

Korvo turns into his super Shlorpian form and roars as he rips apart his robe.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Ah...that's better.

Janice gasp.

Janice: What the fuck? points to Montez, Nova and Cherie Wait a minute are these three people?

Cherie: Oh, we’re friends of Korvo and Terry.

Nova laughs nervously.

Janice: What is going on and-

Janice suddenly sees a white board falling and suddenly lifts it up. The others gaps in horror.

Montez: Oh no. The peach n cream orb piece. It chose Janice!

Janiz: coming in What?!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: What are you doing here?!

Janiz: I was sensing the orb piece! Why?

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Just asking.

The orb piece fuses with Janice

Janice: Huh? There was a crystal under my outfit?

Then Janice starts glowing and she gets her own super suit with a superhero mask on her.

Janice/???: H’no what happened to me Y’know?

Janice then notices that she has her hair down for her super suit

Randall: blushes Whoa.

Mundane Terry and Super Shlorpian Korvo look at each other nervously, realizing it’s time to tell Janice the truth.

Mundane Terry: Holy shit. Did she just-

Super Shlorpian Korvo: sigh Yes. We have to tell her

Korvo and Terry turns back into their Shlorpian forms and transform into their superhero forms. Janice, or whoever she is now, flies in and gasp.

Janice/???: What? You’re Solar Flare and Legendary Super Shlorpian?

Solar Flare chuckles nervously.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Yes and the truth we didn’t move. We had to turn into humans to establish civilian identities so no one can find out it’s us.

Janice suddenly hugs Legendary Super Shlorpian.

Janice/???: It’s okay. I know you were trying to protect yourselves, but what do you mean by human forms?

Solar Flare and Legendary Super Shlorpian turns back into their normal selves and turn into their human forms. Janice gasp.

Human Terry: Okay. So now we need a plan.

Janice/???: What do you mean?

Janiz turns into her human form which made Janiz gasp.

Human Janiz: Hey, Janice.

Janice/???: Wait? You’re an alien too?

Human Korvo: Yes. She is also my older sister.

Janice/???: H’no, I think I’m gonna faint, y’know.

Randall however turns into Ultra Man and catches Janice as she wakes up and grows shock. Janice and Ultra Man blush.

Janice/???: Oh you too?

Randall/Ultra Man: Yeah. points to Montez, Cherie and Nova So are these three.

Cherie, Montez, and Nova turn into their superhero forms.

Janice/???: Wait? So I’ll one of you now? Oh dear I need to think about this

Nova/Lady Roseus: Take time Janice. Right now, we have to find the other orb pieces before the Princess and her people gets hurt! Come on!

Janice begins to think about it. Back with Violet, she starts search around the school for the orb piece while growing worried.

Sherbet/Violet: Where is it?!

Princess Chloe suddenly came and sees Ms. Perez

Princess Chloe: Excuse m’am?

Sherbet/Violet: Princess Chloe?

Princess Chloe: Ssh. Keep your voice down.

Ms. Perez: Princess Chloe? Oh it’s nice to meet you, heard what happened?! You looking for something!

Princess Chloe: Yes. An orb. Have you-

Ms. Perez: Whoa whoa. An orb? What are you talking about? Is everything okay?

Suddenly the orange orb piece appears.

Princess Chloe: Um ma’am I really appreciate the thought but I can handle it on my own.

Ms. Perez: Well let me help you. I know about changes in the ecosystem and human body. I might be able to help you find what you’re looking for.

Violet notices the orb and gasps.

Princess Chloe: I’m sorry but you can’t come with us. You’re just ordinary. You could get hurt. I think it’s best if you stay here… besides it’s not a vacation y’know

Ms. Perez sighs and starts to feel hurt by this

Ms. Perez: Okay. I understand…

Princess Chloe: Thank you. Now if you excuse me I got an orb to find… leaves

Violet notices that Ms. Perez is sad.

Sherbet/Violet: Excuse me?

Ms. Perez: Huh? the orange orb starts to head to her but she didn’t notice

Ms. Perez turns to Violet

Ms. Perez: Violet? What are you doing here?

Sherbet/Violet: I’m here looking for a-

Suddenly, the orange orb pieces shines brighter as it heads towards Perez.

Sherbet/Violet: WATCH OUT!

But then, the orb fuses with Perez as she gasp.

Ms. Perez: What’s happening to me?!

Suddenly, two of Ophelia’s minions break through the windows and grabs Perez as she gasp.

Sherbet/Violet: Ms. Perez! No!

Ms. Perez lets out a loud scream.

Ms. Perez: What?! Huh? What did I just do?!

Ophelia: No! You have sonic screaming!

Ms. Perez gasp upon seeing Ophelia. Ms. Perez tries to run but Opheia captures her.

Ms. Perez: Grr let me go!

Ophelia laughs.

Ophelia: Minions, take her to Queen Romelle, she hadn’t gain trust of those humans yet. So make this little skank her prisoner

Ms. Perez: No!

The minions escape with Ms. Perez who struggles to break free! Violet watches bad gasp in terror.

Sherbet/Violet: I gotta get the others!

Meanwhile, the others arrived at Romelle’s castle where the neon green orb is at. Then, Princess Chloe meets up with them.

Princess Chloe: What the hell are you guys doing here?

Yumyulack/Psylock: To find the orb piece. The neon green one.

Princess Chloe sighs.

Princess Chloe: Look guys, let me handle this. You all stay here, okay?

Darcy/Miss Darcina: What?!

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: But everyone is counting on us!

Jamie/Firey: Yeah! We’re superheroes!

Princess Chloe: Look! Romelle is a serious person! She doesn’t trust us yet! So wait here! Please…

Solar Flare arrived and sees his friends and children.

Terry/Solar Flare: Guys!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Hey Solar Flare!

Princess Chloe: So please wait!

Princess Chloe heads in while the heroes watch in disgust.

Darcy/Miss Darcina: Can you believe her?

Jamie/Firey: I know right! Solar Flare, please tell us that you have found one of the orbs!

Terry/Solar Flare: Yeah. About that…

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: What?

Terry/Solar Flare: The orb fused with Janice, my old coworker!

The others gasp.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Aw man. Well, how was I supposed to know? I didn’t know our friends will get powers!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Well guess what?! Our friends have uncontrollable powers!

Jesse/Electra: Hey! Lay off him guys!

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Well, your brother caused our friends to have powers! They are freaking out!

Darcy/Miss Darcina: And to make matters worse, so does big stupid Janice!

Daryl/Dark Matter: Hey lay off my boyfriend will ya?

Jamie/Firey: He started it.

Yumyulack/Psylock: gulps Um, maybe we should just calm down? laughs nervously

Everyone, except for Psylock and Solar Flare, then starts arguing. Psylock looks at Solar Flare nervously and says sorry silently. Solar Flare then finally have enough as he puts his foot down and says…

Terry/Solar Flare: ENOUGH! flares up

Then silence fell as the others look at Solar Flare in shock and Psylock squint nervously. Then, Legendary Super Shlorpian, Lady Super Shlorpian, The Master, Agent Red, Pezlie and Lady Roseus arrives as Solar Flare breathes in and out.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Guys! We came as soon as we heard and… oh.

Montez/The Master: Um… what did we miss?

The Ultra Opposites look at their friends. But then, Legendary Super Shlorpian then theorize what happened.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Wait a minute. Are you guys… facepalms are you serious right now?

Jaime/Firey: Uh…

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Not one word Firey! Firey squints nervously You guys are seriously playing the blame game while our friends are in trouble?! They have powers now! What’s the deal? You should all be ashamed of yourselves! We’re friends here! And frenemies slightly… but that’s not the point. Us heroes have to stick together. No matter what. Because, sometimes heroes get on each other’s nerves. But, we always make up and talk things out. So, why are you acting like this right now?

Rest of the Ultra Opposites: Uh. Well, maybe. We just thought they might…

Cherie/Agent Red: sighs Look guys. Right now, you are all exhausted and terrified. We don’t know what’s gonna happens plus, I’m sure Psylock didn’t know either. Did you?

Yumyulack/Psylock: ashamed Yes.

The rest of the Ultra Opposites look down remorsefully.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Okay. So, what do you all have to say for yourselves?

Rest of the Ultra Opposites: remorsefully Sorry Terry and Korvo.

Solar Flare, Agent Red, Lady Super Shlorpian, The Master, Lady Roseus and Legendary Super Shlorpian look at them sternly and firmly. Then, Solar Flare calms down and takes a deep breath as the flame cools down.

Terry/Solar Flare: Sorry for yelling.

Legendary Super Shlorpian puts a comforting hand on his husband as he smiles at him.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: It’s okay. You were just stressed by this whole tension. Turns his attentions towards his children and friends and frenemies But look, guys. I know our friends got powers by accident. But, it was the orbs that chose them for a reason. And now you are all freaking out like they’re gonna die fucking die or something? the rest of the Ultra Opposites look down sadly

Agent Red: Just give them time guys. They might wanna get use to having their powers.

All: remorsefully Okay.

Solar Flare looks down for yelling at his friends. But, the Master puts a comforting hand on Solar Flare’s left shoulder as the two exchange brotherly smiles. Then, Violet came.

Sherbet/Violet: Guys! Guys!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: What is it?! What’s wrong?!

Sherbet/Violet: Ms. Perez is in trouble! We have to go help her!

The rest of the Ultra Opposites gasp.

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Oh no! We didn’t know! What have we done!

Jesse/Electra: Aw geez. We suck.

Kevin/The Flamethrower: We’re sorry guys. This would’ve never happen if we hadn’t freak out. We suck. looks down along with the rest of the Ultra Opposites

Terry/Solar Flare: No. You guys don’t suck. You were just feeling out of sorts. We can still fix this.

Nova/Lady Roseus: Of course. Ms. Perez is our friend and we must go rescue her and Princess Chloe.

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: He’s right guys.

All: Yeah. I agree. Let’s go save her. As a team. Let’s work together.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Good. That’s better! Now let’s go save our friend!

The rest of the Ultra Opposites cheer and follows as L.S.S. turns into his Super Shlorpian form while carrying Solar Flare and flies to save Ms. Perez.

Meanwhile the princess heads in while the Ultra Opposites follow her.

Princess Chloe: notices the Ultra Opposites Oh, for God’s sake

Terry/Solar Flare: Sorry, but we had to come in. Our friend is Romelle’s prisoner. Violet told us everything!

Princess Chloe: What?!

Sherbet/Violet: We’re sorry but Perez is our friend!

Princess Chloe has an idea.

Princess Chloe: Follow me!

The Ultra Opposites follow Princess Chloe and then gasp upon seeing Romelle, who looks like a elegant mermaid.

Queen Romelle: Who dares come here?

Terry/Solar Flare: Uh, hi? We are the Ultra Opposites and-

Queen Romelle: You are not allowed to be here!

Chloe then notices the neon green orb in a glass container.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: It’s okay. We’re defenders of Earth. We help save lives

Queen Romelle: How do I know I can trust you?

Princess Chloe: Because your highness we could require an army to help us

Queen Romelle: Hm? For what?

Princess Chloe: Or an object if you may? Something powerful enough to stop Empress Ophelia?

Queen Romelle gasps upon hearing Empress Ophelia.

Queen Romelle: You mean this orb piece we found

Princess Chloe: This is amazing! With this, I could use into to transform at home into something powerful enough to face Ophelia!

Queen Romelle: Or it could end up in her greedy hands!

Princess Chloe: her jaw drops But...

Queen Romelle: Honey, I'm sorry about your home. I truly am. But my responsibility is to protect my subjects. The orb piece... is not going anywhere.

Legendary Super Shlorpian sighs.

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Wait um excuse me? You have prisoner here right? Someone send her to you? We would like to see her!

Queen Romelle: You mean this burden?

The guards pull down a curtain and is revealed to be a muzzled Ms. Perez down with her hands tied in a cage.

Jesse/Electra: Ms. Perez!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Ma’am please let her go! Ms. Perez is a good person! She would never hurt anybody!

Princess Chloe: But we've come all this way. And you can't just hide down here! Trapped forever! There's so much you're missing!

Queen Romelle: We’re hundred percent okay with that!

Solar Flare groans. Then a guard whisper something into Queen Romelle’s ear.

Queen Romelle: Yes, Seymour?

Seymour: whispering

Queen Romelle: Ooh! Time for my seaweed wrap. Later, skater!

Seymour: Oh would you require a massage?

Queen Romelle: Yes, a massage, too. Mama needs her deep tissue.

Cherie/Agent Red: There’s gotta be a way to earn Romelle’s trust if we want to get the third orb piece and Ms. Perez to safety

Nova/Lady Roseus: But how?

Jesse/Electra: What if we throw a party?

Terry/Solar Flare: No. We’re gonna need something better than that

Princess Chloe however thought of something as she looks at the orb piece.

Princess Chloe: Oh, no. No no. You guys got this.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Are you sure?

Ultra Opposites: Huh?

Kevin/The Flamethrower: Really?

Darcy/Miss Darcina: What are you talking about?

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Are you sure?

Princess Chloe: Well, we still need to come up with a plan to get back. A few minutes won't make a huge difference. And if there's anyone who can cram a lifetime of fun into a blink of an eye, it's Solar Flare!

Solar Flare chuckles.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: You know, you're right Chloe.

Cherie/Agent Red: We won’t let you down!

Princess Chloe: looking at the orb piece I’m counting on it.

As Queen Romelle comes our newly dress, lights came on suddenly as she gasp. Cue the song “Flesh and Bone”:

[Legendary Super Shlorpian ]

Hear it getting louder, a call for revolution

Yeah, we came for what was ours, it's time for restitution

We'll protect our own, take back the stone

No, human nature cannot hold us down

[Solar Flare]

Stranded at the bottom, but we're more than a whisper

No, we'll never be forgotten, our blood's thicker than silver, yeah

When worlds collide, it's do or die So tell me, is it wrong to stand your ground?

[Legendary Super Shlorpian and Agent Red]

Hear us howl, all or nothing

Fangs are out, we ain't running

Hear us howl, it's all or nothing

[All]

Oh oh oh oh

This is a declaration

Oh oh oh oh

Of a new generation

It's now or never, we're in this together

We'll fight through the highs and the lows

No, we won't break, we're more than flesh and bone

Meanwhile, Janice hears hear friends singing with her super hearing. Then, Mia came by and gasp upon seeing Janice in her new super suit.

Mia: Excuse me, are you an Ultra Opposites?

Janice looks at her reflection, then thinks about this new path. She then gets determined in her eyes. Janice nods. Later back with the song…

[Electra]

The world has gone crazy and no one seems to listen

Gotta step in, no more maybes, and stop the demolition

Is it hope or fear?

Look in the mirror

Everything we built is coming down

[Lady Super Shlorpian]

No more hesitation, it's time we start to realize

With all this separation, silence is still taking sides So use your voice, make a choice

And tell me, are you standing with the crowd?

[All]

Oh oh oh oh

This is a declaration

Oh oh oh oh

Of a new generation

It's now or never, we're in this together

We'll fight through the highs and the lows

No, we won't break, we're more than flesh and bone Ayy, ayy, ayy ayy

We say no more bad blood, no more bad blood

Ayy, ayy, ayy ayy No way, they can't stop us, no, they can't stop us

Ayy, ayy, ayy ayy

We say no more bad blood, no more bad blood

Ayy, ayy, ayy ayy

No way, they can't stop us, no, they can't stop us

[Solar Flare]

History changes, but we lost the pages we wrote When you lose direction, can't see the reflection you know

We came from the bottom then became the problem

Now everything's out of control

So hey, are you with me?

Let's go!

[All]

Oh oh oh oh

This is a declaration

Oh oh oh oh

Of a new generation

It's now or never, we're in this together

We'll fight through the highs and the lows

No, we won't break, we're more than flesh and bone​​​​​​​

As the song ends Queen Romelle smiles

Queen Romelle: Well, I do have one solution on how we can stop Ophelia…

Suddenly, Solar Flare sees Princess Chloe trying to steal the orb as she lifts the container and he screams. Suddenly, the alarm goes off.

Jesse/Electra: Aaah! What is happening now?!

Terry/Solar Flare: Chloe?!

Queen Romelle gasps and growls.

Princess Chloe: Your majesty! I can explain!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Look you don't understand what really happened! We tried to-

Queen Romelle: All of this so you could sneak in and take the orb piece?!

Janice hears her friends while carrying Mia and the two women gasp in horror as they fly to there.

Darcy/Miss Darcina: What?! No!

Terry/Solar Flare: We are not trying to steal it! We would never!

Yumyulack/Psylock: We’re just here to save our friend and teacher!

Queen Romelle: Silence! You don’t deserve my help!

Ultra Opposites: WHAT?!

Nova/Lady Roseus: But, it’s not our fault! Chloe tricked us!

Queen Romelle: This is why we don't bring strangers into our home! to Chloe You don't deserve to be one of us.

Just before Romelle could throw them out, Janice barges in her with Mia.

Janice/???: Stop!

Mia: MRS. PEREZ!

Ms. Perez: Mia?!

Terry/Solar Flare and Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Janice?

Yumyulack/Psylock and Jesse/Electra: Wait, what? Who’s Janice?

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Long story.

Miss Frankie/Miss Shadow: That’s Janice? She looks cool!

Darcy/Miss Darcina: I agree girls!

Cherie/Agent Red: Yeah. Nice outfit!

Jesse/Electra: I love your hair!

Janice/???: H’no Thank you. But, call Master Smasher, y’know?

Master Smasher dos her own pose while flying up and helps free Ms. Perez by bending the bars.

Terry/Solar Flare: Welcome to the team, Master Smasher.

Ms. Perez: Thank you!

Mia hugs Ms. Perez.

Mia: I was so worried about you!

Ms. Perez cries a little because she’s happy to see Mia. Suddenly, the neon green orb pieces breaks out of the container and it floats to Mia, who gasp in awe.

Mia: What the fuck is that?

Ms. Perez: I don’t know.

The neon green orb then merges with Mia, who gasped in shock as she grows amazed but then feels something from her hands.

Mia: What’s happening?

Suddenly, her fist then creates a beam that shoots through the castle, much to everyone’s surprise and shock

Mia: Wow. I didn’t know I could do that. Oh sorry Romelle.

Queen Romelle: Oh for Christ’s sake.

Janice/Master Smasher: Come on guys, let’s flee!

Princess Chloe: No! Wait!

The Ultra Opposites leave.

Princess Chloe: quietly No… now what do we do?

The scene then cuts to Ophelia’s fortress as she growls. We then see Ophelia in her fortress.

Ophelia: GRRRRR! There is more of them! Ugh! That is it! I’m gonna crush those fucking Ultra Fucks once and for all, and if that means killing them out of cold blood, so be it! That idiotic woman!

Ophelia presses a button and a door opens, revealing to be a robotic version of Korvo, Robo Korvo.

Ophelia: Robo Korvo! Take care of them!

Robo Korvo nods and leaves.

Ophelia: Be afraid Ultra Opposites, for your end is near! laughs evilly

To be continued…
