Things I Have Noticed/Remembered from my MCDiaries rewatch

I will be updating this as I continue my rewatch, currently everything listed is out of order, cause I've started writing this as I am on episode 64 of season 1 and I don't feel like fixing it to be in order, so sorry!

What the fuck was Garroth's "plan" he mentions to Zenix in the first episode 😭

Zenix seems to be younger then Garroth in Diaries, considering the way that Garroth talks about him, but I think in MyStreet, Zenix is either the same age or slightly older then Garroth, so far this is like, the only obvious age difference between the series (besides Travis and everyone else of course)

I forgot how entertaining Brendan's character is, he's far less annoying then I remembered

ZANE AS AN ACTUAL BAD PERSON, I LOVE HIM

I love Vylad, but I legit forgot how much he was in Diaries season 1, I thought he was in it far less

Currently at the stage of Diaries where there is no lgbt+ people, i'm very disappointed by this (we haven't even reached the queerbaiting)

KC's character is....not as bad (racist) as I was expecting, still not great though. I'm choosing to believe that KC is from Tu'lu and Maid Cafes are a thing there, and "Kawaii~Chan" is just a stage name for her work.

Y'all know how Cadenza went missing and she was actually turned into a chicken? Yeah, the way Hayden, Castor, & Laurance talk about her to Aphmau makes it sound like Cadenza is a small child. But then it turns out she's the same age, if not older, then Laurance and Aphmau.

Aphmau should've just made Joh and Hayden lovers, I'm so serious, it would make the whole Cadenza and Laurance being "close like siblings" in season 1 to I think actually being called as siblings in season 2 and in MyStreet a lot easier to understand and make a lot more sense.

Why does Kenmur have like, some sort of romance with all the girls from Meteli??? He was engaged to Sasha and is stated to have feelings for Cadenza.

I love when the episodes open from Sasha's POV, and she goes and talks to Gene and there's just no voices. I love having to pause to read what they're saying. (this point is sarcasm)

The way literally everyone reacted to learning Laurance was blind was....icky. Like, I understand Cadenza and Aphmau reacting as like "we need to find a way to bring his sight back", but the fact that it was literally EVERYONE who decided he needed to get his sight back was so weird.

I don't mind Laurance ACTUALLY getting his sight back, but I wish it was done differently. Like, personally, I'd have him like, have to wash his face with the water of the fountain of Lady Irene.

Emma & Corey, Dale & Molly, and Logan & Donna are very sweet couples.

After Zoey and KC were able to turn Cadenza back to her human form, Zoey mentions that she "recognizes Cadenza from somewhere", but I don't think this goes anywhere???? I'm assuming it was supposed to hint at like, Cadenza's backstory.

ngl, I kinda wish we got more of Zane and Kiki's relationship, I really wanna know what side of Zane Kiki actually saw.

Anyway, Kiki is currently expecting.

Nicole (my beloved) has showed up. I've decided I won't question the logic behind her iron fists being able to break bedrock, and instead say that her referencing her iron fists just made me think of Ace from One Piece and Natsu & Gajeel from Fairy Tail.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT NICOLE'S FOX, ROXY, AND ABOUT THE WYVERNS IN GENERAL 😭

I need to mention that in one episode (before Aphmau went to Scaleswind and learned about Lady Irene), Garroth says to Aphmau "by the seven", which I think she was hurt, but the use of "by the seven" is similar to how the same phase would be used in Game of Thrones or to how irl lots of people say "oh my god", so I'm really wondering if there were originally supposed to be 7 Divine Warriors instead of 6.

The way when Aphmau found Levin and decided to keep him and Garroth IMMEDIATLY decided he would be Levin's father figure.

The way when Laurance found out that Aphmau had a kid, his response was to play with Levin and say to Aphmau "you didn't tell me you had this little buddle of joy/energy".

That's all for now, I'll like, update when I have more to add.

Fionna and Cake card analysis

Based on these cards, I wanted to give my thoughts on them since there was not much Fionna and Cake lore around the time the book was published (2016) and I'm forever searching for more. They'll be under the cut since this will get long but some of these things never cease to amuse me.

Note: All cards will be written out in text as well so if you have a hard time reading them, you can read them in plain text.

Fionna and Cake Marshall Lee and Prince Gumball Ice Queen and Lord Monochromicorn

FIONNA THE HUMAN GIRL FIONNA is a feisty little fist-flapping female fool who fancies stuff like swordplay, slush-monster deflection, and Prince-Gumball-butt-saving. Fionna has one weakness- a blinding infatuation with yours truly, Ice King, which transcends the boundaries between her and fan-fictional Land of Ooh, in which I don't even exist, and the real Land of Ooo, in which she doesn't exist! Hey for a figment of my imagination, she's a real cutie. I mean, what a backyard, and what a front yard! (Girls, take note of her white bunny hat, semi-ironic athletic stockings and Mary Janes, all designed to appeal to my, AHEM, I mean YOUR predilection for postmodern, anime-stylin' fashion culture. Let it not be said that Ice King doesn't dig Kawaii!!!) But this chick is zilch compared to the incredibly hip ICE QUEEN, into whose frosty embrace Prince Gumball is destined one day to fall, frozen forever in a cryogenic icicle stupor. C'mon, his dopey dalliances with Fionna are obviously just a phase! Just like his flirtations with expressionist gummy sculpture and free-form candy-whistle jazz! But I'll save that Magnificent Wint'ry Wizardess ICE QUEEN till last! See, when I'm excited I get way ahead of myself!

Immediately I find it interesting this book refers to it as the "Land of Ooh" instead of "Aaa", a name that was said to be mentioned around the writers room or by some of the AT writers at some point.

I don't know how to feel about Ice King knowing about Kawaii or anime but it makes sense. I can only assume he enjoys Sailor Moon and eats snacks while saying 'me too usagi, me too'.

I don't know when this book was written but this just proves to me that early F&C stuff was just in very early S1 stuff of AT or at least from Ice King's memory that Finn openly had a crush on PB. I'm going to ignore his comments about Fionna being cute since it was later fixed in "Bad little boy" he wants to be friends with her which funny enough I guess he does in 2023.

He's not wrong that this is just a phase(looks at gumlee), though this is only the START of him going on about Gumball and how he should fall for the Ice Queen and generally bullying him.

This card from 2014 also backs that up. I guess he's just mad and thinks Gumball thinks he's better than IK somehow...despite the fact he's writing the character.

CAKE Fionna's feline funkster gal pal and adopted cat sister CAKE is an insufferable, dulcimer-playing furball floozy and a bottomless dispenser of cheap sassitude. Basically a smelly lowlifer, cake is roughly the size and shape of an overstuffed throw-pillow with legs unless she is, oh, I don't know, ANY OTHER SHAPE AND SIZE SHE WANTS! Because this weird whisker-head has stretchy powers! She can make her legs look like monster mutations made of molasses oozing from her cat torso! But so what, I mean, big deal!!! Ice Queen does way cooler stuff, right? Okay, what else about this fuzzy freaky Friday? Oh yeah. Cake got totally hitched to the majestic Lord Monochromicorn (who's way out of her league, by the way, I mean, lets get real!). But it's no secret that, like her sister, Cake would ditch that weirdo in a heartbeat for one lousy date with that paragon of perfection, the Ice Queen!! Seriously, that annoying cat is all about me, I mean, the Ice Queen. But what Fionna and Cake don't realize is that those two are ALWAYS in danger of obliteration at the mighty Ice Queen's perfectly manicured hands, and I'm tellin' ya, folks, it's only a matter of time until the ice pick falls!

I don't really know what to make of this one since I didn't expect him to be so mean towards Cake. I think(?) its a good thing he's vaguely aware of IQ being a self insert of him and that's some way to feel important while his brain continues to be a mess of hallucinations but at the same time he admits on IQ's card that he'd break boundaries to date/marry her and rule with an icy hand. So I guess he takes it a bit as a personal attack Cake is against her.

Also Simon is showing his age cause only my mom has ever used the word 'floozy' that I know of and that's pretty funny.

The burn out from work is very REAL right now. I think I just need to harness my spiritual energy like Iron Fist and keep moving forward mentally. While things as they are will not last forever and are not ideal right now, I have to remember some things could be worse.

Barrel’s Warhammer!

           YYYYOOOOOO SASHA!!!!

           She really is the epitome, the pinnacle, of gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss! I love Sasha, she’s such an utter mess, morally ambiguous and then downright terrible in so many ways, and genuinely unhinged in just as many! She’s a freaking riot and SUCH an amazing character, y’all!

           In general, I adore how Toads are handled in this show! Yeah, they’re big and brutish and used as thugs… But the show still clearly portrays them as people, and some of them are terrible like Bog, but others are just trying to live their lives, like Percy and Braddock! And how they’re all clearly working with this ascribed role as Andrias’ enforcers and iron fist across Amphibia, how they’re encouraged to be cruel brutes… But they’re still people and they’re still oppressed, which is why Grime is leading his rebellion! Good for him, good for THEM!

           Also… GRIMMITY?!?! Beatrix?! Grime LORE! I like how Beatrix and Grime have blind eyes on opposite sides, and Sasha roasting Bufo by naturally connecting his name to Buffoon, WONDERFUL! Aldo’s also a legendary, killer design, he reminds me of VLD Zarkon, old and decrepit and fanged and clearly has seen a LOT of stuff, a real warrior of his time… Honestly, getting a look into the Toads and THEIR complicated role in this story, as the ‘bad guys’ but not really, there’s more to them; It’s such a fit to Sasha’s character, and I LOVE how she’s such an utter brute for someone who normally seems accustomed to using honey over vinegar to attract flies (to feed her Toads)! She’s nuts, she’s great.

           I love the explanation for the eye symbol, I love Sasha really getting to appreciate Percy and Braddock, and for a moment I thought she really was learning her lesson… When she gave them an out, I thought maybe she took what happened with Anne to heart, but now…! Maybe this is what she’s always done; Made empty promises. God, I love this little arc for her character, how she wants to be a good friend, but she keeps valuing power and control over all else…

           AND HER RAGE! HER JEALOUSY! At Anne and Marcy being with each other, leaving her out, Sasha’s mind jumping to all of the worst conclusions, and how THAT anger is what unlocks her gem power, not heroism or anything else! Sasha’s such a complex and messed-up character but you can’t help but root for her, she really IS a Problematic Fave! God, with how she’s going to meet Anne in a volcano, and the whole “Sasha is Anakin and Anne is Obi-Wan” just WRITES itself, with Sasha angrily accusing Anne of turning Marcy against her, Anne retorting that Sasha did that herself, etc.!

           God Sasha’s such a complicated mess and ball of unresolved emotions and contradictions, denial that’s insisting everything’s fine when it’s really not… She’s a manipulator who prefers to be hands-off, yet is also somehow the raw brute with unthinking, unyielding strength! She’s utterly terrifying, no wonder all of the Toads are in awe of her ferocity and power!

           Also, I like how Barrel’s Warhammer was included; At first I wondered WHY the Narwhal Worm would guard the weapon used by the Toad who fought it, but as we can clearly see… Barrel must’ve conked it out BADLY with his Warhammer, knocking it out, and the hammer has been stuck since! And once more, the hammer has been slammed into the worm… And in general, I love seeing the Toads just ROOT around Sasha and Grime, I love seeing villainous characters get to go feral and unhinged as you root for them, as THEY rise up and fight against all odds as the underdogs!

           Percy and Braddock and the gag with the kawaii poses was great, but it’s also sad to see them go! They’re definitely a wake-up call for Sasha and I like it, I wonder if you could parallel them, one-by-one, to Anne and Marcy respectively? Perhaps Anne and Marcy were initially not taken seriously by Sasha at first, but ultimately she DID grow to care for them and not just as ‘tools’, who knows? With Anne and Percy and Braddock, I think Sasha’s going to have to reconsider things… And GRIME, how he just sort of accepts that, yeah, you gotta lose people to achieve a goal! I could see him being a bad influence to Sasha, unintentionally- Like her, he means well, they’re really great parallels to one another!

           Like, Sasha and Grime are both brutes, power-hungry, and wanting control, but Sasha prefers subtlety and manipulation, appeals to both her and others’ emotions, while Grime prefers to be raw and unthinking strength, he’s a seasoned veteran from combat, while Sasha is likely a rich kid, young and learning… They’re such a dynamic duo with a lot to teach one another! Maybe Grime sees himself in Sasha; Himself when HE was a kid… Maybe when he was a gladiator, he had friends but left them behind to be promoted to Captain? I wonder if Beatrix has anything to say on this, too…

           Could Beatrix provide insight to Grimmity? Did Grime leave her behind in a sense…? Does SASHA have a sibling, and that leads to her weird power complex, as another parallel to Grime! Either way it’s sweet, I adore the dynamic of two horrible people who are good friends and bad, enabling influences to each other… Being problematic faves, you can’t help but cringe at their mistakes but also cheer as they win as underdogs and turn the tables on their enemies! I like how Sasha is still supportive of Grime and vice-versa, Grime’s guiding this kid, but Sasha’s fully supporting Grime as the de-facto leader and backing him up, not trying to seize control!

           I think it really parallels Anne, how she just wanted to get back home… But somewhere along the way, she realizes how much she loves and enjoys this, and values her friend! And maybe it could lead to Sasha not wanting to head back home after all, especially if there’s nothing there for her; Which could play into her keeping all of her gem powers as she opposes Andrias openly, while Anne has some of her power because again, she’s more neutral, and then Marcy has none because she’s fully bought into the Newt King’s schtick!

           Also, it’s funny that Sasha is no doubt feeling betrayed, like her trust has been jeopardized by Anne and Marcy, considering she did the same to Anne in Reunion! Lying to her about what she intended to do with the Frogs… It’s wonderfully hypocritical and this kid does NOT want self-awareness, she’ll toy with it for a bit, but then immediately backpedal! Get better and well Sasha, for everyone’s sake… The confrontation and paranoia as she loses her friends and only has Grime, who means well but isn’t so great himself, is also nice!

           Honestly, there’s even a parallel to the idea of Sasha meaning well, only to be ruined by her own toxicity… And Grime wanting a better life for Toads in his revolution, but still allowing a hierarchy to exist by the end of the day, instead of abolishing it for all! They both have good ideas and initiative, but it’s ruined by Sasha and Grime not backing down on certain things and not listening to others, being SO sure they’re right… Very compelling stuff. Now I’m starting to wonder if Sasha will be open to Anne about her suspicions, if they WILL get along for the Third Temple…

           …Or if she’ll try to manipulate and fool her again, thinking that SHE’s been betrayed herself! And maybe Sasha will realize her faults in the battle of Newtopia, only for it to be too late, Anne has been too betrayed, Sasha has only herself (and, well, Andrias) to blame! In the meantime, as Sasha no doubt embraces her role as a rebel, but also unknowingly as a hero against Andrias and his master… I can see her tapping more into her gem powers and actually using them as part of her rage, hence the shots we see from the Third Temple! She’s going to be terrifying, y’all, and even more of a match for Yunnan at this point… And Anne, poor Anne’s going to be caught between TWO toxic friends!

           Both mean well, but both have other bad points… And it just means Anne’s gonna have to forge her own path, make her own decisions and group and faction, be her own person and take initiative once more! But it’s also gonna be lonely and could contribute to more trust issues along the way… And maybe she’ll think she can only trust herself, only do things on her own, and how this might pair badly with her selfless martyr-complex. We’ll have to wait and see, though… We’ll have to wait and see.

Lili De Rochefort- La Vie En Rose Chapter 2

The comedy begins here.

"Let us go through what she currently has." says Athena as she goes through Lili's suitcase. The gang decided to head to Athena's house. "Ah...all the clothes are cut up."

Lili then sighs. "Asuka did that to get back at me." she replies. Kyo frowns at that. "Why?" he asked. "Thing is, Asuka and I were rivals at the King Of Iron Fist Tournament. I kept on challenging her to fights which she often refused."

"The thing sis yes I was bitter about losing to her but at the same time, I wanted to be her friend. I guess I went about it the wrong way hence why she punished me by kicking me out of her house despite paying off her family's debt. I guess when you are a sheltered rich kid with no sense of reality, you do all kinds of foolish things." she says.

"King of Iron Fist? Wait....do you mean Asuka Kazama?" Kyo asked. Lili nods. "Wow...so you are Lili de Rochefort?!" Lili smiles sheepishly, a far cry from her usual arrogant haughty persona. "Unfortunately I am her."

"I know Kazama as I have had some unpleasant encounters with her. Not a very nice girl." says Kensou.

Kyo scrutnized her closely. "I do not see any arrogance in you." he said. "Yet I act that way. I guess I did that to protect father's image. I don't know."

"No need to fret!! You can always start all over." says Athena. "We will get you clothes no worries."says Yuki. "Yeah. Cheer up. We've got you covered." says Kensou.

Lili is surprised. "Why are you being so nice to me? I do not deserve it." she says. "You are being too hard on yourself Lili. Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect. Do not let anyone put pressure on you. Live your life according to your own rules and not what some idiots dictate." says Kyo.

Lili smiles softly and nods. "Okay guys. If you say so."

"Ah...I have the perfect outfit for you to wear!!" Athena chirps and dashes off, dragging Lili along with her.

A couple minutes later, Lili comes back out wearing a cute pink floral dress and some white slippers. Her hair was packed up in a ponytail. "Kawaii." says Kensou. "Not bad." says Kyo, giving a thumbs up.

"See Lili? You look great." says Yuki. Lili blushes bright red. "Uhm...thanks." she replies shyly. "Let's go. Benimaru and the others are waiting for us." says Kyo. With that, the gang left the house and head out.

"Now where did they go?!" Benimaru grumbles. "Relax Beni. They will be here." says Goro. The blonde sighs as he sips some sake. The two were at the Kusanagi house waiting for Kyo to arrive.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." says Kyo as the gang walks in. Benimaru spots Lili and immediately gets up from his seat. "Ah. Miss Rochefort. Been waiting all my life to meet you. Such a precious beauty!!" says Benimaru.

Lili raises an eyebrow at that. "You say that to every girl you meet right?" Kyo snickers at that comment. Benimaru is taken aback by this. "Oh come on Mademoiselle!! Is it wrong for a guy to express his feelings to a pretty rose such as you?"

Lili simply giggles. "Oh what a charmer." Kyo places a hand over Benimaru's shoulder and says in a low voice, "Dude she is not that into you." Benimaru growls. "What do you mean by that?! Oh is she taken?!" Kyo rolled his eyes. "Anyways, Lili is going to be staying here so best be on your best behaviour Beni."

"Got it!!" says Benimaru. Goro nods and smiles. "Nice to meet you Lili." She nods. "Nice to meet you too."

At that moment, Saisyu walks in. "Ah hah, was looking for yo-" He stops when he sees Lili. "Wait....is she not the girl that Asuka Kazama kicked out of her house yesterday?" Kyo stares at him. "How did you know?"

"The whole town has been talking about it. People even saw her on the streets." The gang stared at Lili who looks down at the ground. "I...I am leaving.." Just when she was about to turn on her heels, Shizuka Kusanagi, Kyo's mother grabs her hand. "Please stay. I will help cover your expenses."

Lili looks at the others who all give her encouraging smiles. Lili then nods. "Fine. I will stay." Shizuka smiles. "Let me show you to your room." With that, she leads Lili away and takes her into the house.

Lili was amazed by the vast size of the Kusanagi residence. It is way bigger than the Kazama house and despite the traditional Japanese feel to it, there was something modern and classic to the house.

"Here is your room." says Shizuka. Lili gasps at the massive room they were giving to her. "It is a little bare but we can add more to make it more homely for you Lili." Lili turns around and hugs Shizuka who was shocked by this. Still, she returns the girl's hug.

"Don't let anyone determine your worth. You are as worthy as any other person." says Shizuka. Lili smiles. "I will bear that in mind." With that, Shizuka leaves the girl who walks towards her bed and sits down on it. What did I do to deserve all this?

She was so lost in thought that she does not notice Kyo walk in. "Here. Some soda for you." he says, handing a bottle over to her. "Thanks." she says as she takes the bottle. He then sits down next to her.

"Say, where are the others?" she asked. "Athena has to head off to band practice for her concert."

"Wait...she's an idol?!" Kyo nods. "Yeah. Kensou is a bodyguard of sorts though Athena can handle herself just fine."

"What about Yuki?"

"Her mum asked her to come back home and sort stuff out." he says. Lili nods and takes a sip out of the soda. "My dad disowned me. I am sure he found out about the money I used to pay off the Kazamas' debt. That plus the fact that he keeps saying that he hates fighting and disagrees with me participating in tournaments."

"Maybe you should stop using the Rochefort name."

"That is what I have been thinking about." A light bulb goes off in her mind. "Instead of Rochefort, I shall now use my mother's surname De Winter. So now I am Lili De Winter."

"That sounds regal." Kyo jokes. "Well...I am called Hime-sama for a reason." says Lili. They both laughed. "Funny because you resemble Karin Kanzuki."

"I get that a lot." she says. "I have never met Kanzuki before and wish to meet her at some point. Have you met her before?" she asked. Kyo nods. "Loads of times. She is a sweet girl deep down."

"Your house is so huge and your mother is nice." she says. "Ah mum is awesome but she scolds me a lot since I tend to slack off in school." Lili giggles. "I often do that too but I try my best so that my old man does not lock me up at home or something."

Kyo stares at the girl. She seems so nice and not like the stereotypical ojou-sama at all. Or maybe she used to be like that but the Asuka thing changed her.

She yawns. "Aish....I am feeling sleepy again." she says. "Right. Will leave you to rest." With that, he gets up and leaves, allowing the girl to rest.
