i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.

Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

Had to get part 2 for my JD next gen au finished fast lol

Got motivated enough to finish this post lol, I think my next JD next gen au post will be in order of danceverses (based on the JD wiki), starting with Dancity in my next post...probably

Anyways, part two for my jd battlemode fankids is here-

Both Picrews are from naylissah

Khalid

He/Him

15

(Son of Kiss You P2 x Pound The Alarm P1)

Saw MeyMey's art for Kiss You P2 and Pound The Alarm and it made me ship them lol

Recently made him so his summary is gonna be short

Just like his mom, he's a performer in Carnivallium, where he acts as a trainee alongside her and the other Pound The Alarm coaches (aunt figures/hj)

He's always full of energy just like his dad, got his silliness lol (just like his dad, bro got 0 flirting skills/hj)

He's the comedian out of the battlemode fankids, so he sometimes doesn't really take things seriously (side note but he mostly likely talks before he thinks lol), if he does take something serious in a dangerous situation, he's gonna be the one running away first-

Anyways, as for his relationship with the other battlemode fankids, I like to think he would be besties with Lyn (one sided besties cuz Lyn is kinda annoyed with him)

And since Lyn has bad luck (making things around her break) Khalid has definatly got something fell on his head probably 3 times a week lol, that doesn't stop him from trying to be friends with Lyn

Voice Claim: Sokka (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Outfit ideas:

Cordelia

She/Her

16

(Daughter of Super Bass x Love You Like A Love Song)

Made her recently so her summary is gonna be short aswell

Kinda wish we get some lore for LYLALS soon, she most likely has some connections with Cupid (One Last Time)

I hc LYLALS to be a some sort of love goddess, and because of that, so is Cordelia (demi goddess though)

She's the match maker and most calm one of the friend group, she's also the second leader of the group (Lyn being the first)

Although she tries not to lose her cool whenever there's a stressful situation, but she's not afraid to throw hands if she has too (idk Super Bass is a girlboss and so is Cordelia, like mother like daughter lol)

I like to think she's kinda the planner of the group, wanting everything to go to plan, but it rarely does whenever she hangs out with the battlemode fankids (she jokingly has beef with Khalid, since he has a way of messing up things)

Voice claim: Sangonomiya Kokomi (Genshin Impact)

Outfit ideas:

Anyways, I think that's it for the battlemode fankids, I'm still kinda debating if I should make a Frost (She Wolf) and Pele (Where Have You Been) fankid...idk yet

And as always, if anyone is interested in them, feel free to ask questions about them!

Crowded Table: Gratitude and Invitation

In this pre-Thanksgiving homily, the complexity of this moment and the practice of gratitude are both honored. We consider the practical implications of the saying, "when you have more than enough, build a longer table instead of a wall." Rev. Lyn Cox delivered this homily to The Unitarian Society in East Brunswick on November 24, 2024.

My grandparents’ kitchen was the heart of their house. Though it was a little drafty with a window looking out over the hillside and the cow pasture, and the entrance to the mudroom right between the stove and the washing machine, I remember it as being warm from the woodstove and from whatever was cooking. The table in the middle was big enough for the extended family for most of my growing up: two grandparents, three sets of aunts and uncles and cousins, my parents and brothers and myself. I’m not sure how that worked, the math does not seem to add up with what I know about the square footage in that kitchen, but I remember the feeling of being surrounded by love. It was a crowded table. 

That kitchen was a place of acceptance. After the disaster, after losing the job, after the divorce, after the car accident, we came back to that table at the next holiday and sat down to pass the bread and butter once again. My grandfather didn’t say very much. He had a hug for the girls and a handshake for the boys; mostly he sat and listened. My grandmother knew everyone’s story and made sure we were kept up-to-date on the family news. All of her storytelling was in the service of connection, never grudges or cutoffs or putting others down. We brought our brokenness to the table, were strengthened, and were sent forth again with sandwiches for the journey. 

If I can be real with you, I have had a lot of experiences in my life of not belonging. Maybe most people do. I know there are some who never feel like they can have or trust an experience of acceptance. I do not take for granted that I was able to have that formative memory. What I take from that early lesson is a mission to strengthen communities of meaning and purpose. 

To me, this is what abundance is. A gathering of energy and support, a learning ground for ethics and values where mistakes are opportunities for growth, a group of people who are committed to solving problems together, a place where the door is open for newcomers who want to join in that commitment. When there is secure food, housing, and healthcare, we give thanks for that, and we seek ways to share what we have. When one of us is short on one of those things, we find a way forward together. May each and every soul connect with the abundance of interdependence. 

We’re told that this is a time of year to give thanks. I know that, for many of us, our fears and our deficits loom large, and it can be hard to access gratitude. There are valid reasons to be concerned about our loved ones and our future. I hope that we can hold those worries alongside our gratitude and our awareness of the present moment. Perhaps our concerns, even our frustrations, are evidence that we have something worth fighting for, even if it’s a dream not yet realized. Perhaps our fears for our friends and family or our grief for those we have lost points to the love we have in our hearts. That doesn’t negate the grief or fear or anger; rather, we recognize that those feelings have the companionship of love, gratitude, and determination. 

This week, I’ll continue putting the garden to bed now that we’ve had our first frost. I’ll cut back the vines of the warm season crops to give more light to the beets and the chard. I’ll take stock of the cherry tomatoes that I harvested ahead of the frost while they were still green, watching them carefully for signs of ripening in their cozy cardboard box. I’ll gather up dry leaves for the compost bin and gather in my potted plants. My sadness at the end of the season, my chagrin at all that was left undone, my concerns about what future growing seasons will look like all take refuge in my heart alongside my deep gratitude for the abundance of oxygen and color and hospitality for pollinators that the warm season provided. I am grateful that I could spend time with my hands in the dirt. I am grateful that I could bring fresh food to people I love. I am grateful for conversations with neighbors that would not have happened if I had not been outdoors. All of it lives together, the worry and the gratitude and the love. 

And so, as cliché as it is, let us go ahead and give thanks. Let us be grateful for the dream of what might be, for the people who share our values and who work to put them into practice, and for the present moment that gives us the chance to experience all the richness and fullness of this world. In cherishing that abundance, let it move us to actively inviting others to participate in abundance with us. 

We are freshly aware of the importance of finding allies and companions on the path of justice, equity, and compassion. It is incumbent on us to make room at the tables in our lives for the people who would share those commitments. This is more than a passive longing, it is a practice of asset mapping, planning, and implementation. The people in this morning’s story had to do more than open the gate. They set up additional tables and made them welcoming with a tablecloth and dishes. They rearranged themselves to make room. They shared what they had, and they accepted the gifts of the newcomers. If we are to follow that example, what does that mean in practical terms for our congregation, our neighborhoods, and our public life? How do we extend the invitation to abundance? 

We will continue to explore the practice of invitation in the months to come, and we don’t have much time today, so I want to briefly mention some things that are already happening: work toward accessibility, making space for Transgender people, and opportunities to be neighborly to new arrivals in this country. 

First, let’s give thanks for the spirit of accessibility that is sweeping this congregation. The new temporary ramp in the sanctuary is a visible example. The Board is considering bids for improving the railing to the ramp outside the building, lighting in the parking lot and on the exterior stairs, and assistive listening devices. The rearrangement of the front of the sanctuary to comply with fire codes will make all of us safer in case of an emergency, recognizing that people with mobility concerns most urgently need to be considered in our emergency preparedness. There is more we can do, and I hope this momentum continues in the spirit of lavish hospitality and truly inclusive welcome. 

Second, we know that Transgender, nonbinary, gender non-conforming, intersex, and other gender-diverse people are under extreme threat in this country and all over the world. We need communities like this one to welcome us, be in solidarity with us, give us space for our needs and our gifts, and be open to transformation in the service of justice and kindness. It matters that this congregation updated your restrooms to be inclusive. It matters that you normalized sharing pronouns in introductions and nametags. It matters that you display your LGBTQ pride in signage and social media. In addition to the Trans and nonbinary and gender diverse people attending as members and friends, I know there are extremely proud parents of Trans and nonbinary people in this congregation. 

There is more to do. The work of unlearning gender essentialism and internalized transphobia is lifelong, even for those of us who are Trans and nonbinary. Legislative attacks are increasing, and this congregation’s active response would communicate sincerity in your welcome. We can explore some of this in our four-session study group this winter, when we’ll be reading Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families every other Wednesday in January and February. 

Third, our commitment to welcome new neighbors who are immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers matters. This congregation raised money for the I-RISE walk, and the congregation is currently renting the parsonage to a newly arrived family through I-RISE’s Affordable Housing Corporation. I-RISE is Interfaith Refugee and Immigrant Services and Empowerment, a coalition of which we are a part that operates a network of services at four centers in New Jersey. At the I-RISE community meeting this past week, Pastor Seth Kaper-Dale said that the outgoing federal administration is fast-tracking services to refugees to try to help them secure legal status before mid-January. I-RISE expects to serve 400 new arrivals in the next month and a half, which is half of the total number of newcomers they expected to serve in 2025. This will be a sprint, after which I-RISE will return to long-term strategies to help our new neighbors to make their home in New Jersey. 

During this sprint, there are many opportunities to connect with I-RISE. If you own an AirB&B unit that you can reserve short term for refugees, or a ground-level storage unit that can hold incoming donations of furniture, they want to hear from you. Students home for holiday breaks can find short-term employment picking up families from the airport and performing other tasks. Volunteers who are good at filling out forms and being patient will be needed at paperwork clinics for clients who will be self-filing asylum claims. As always, they need warm coats, as many of our new neighbors are arriving with very little from places that are warmer than New Jersey. As Pastor Seth says, immigrants are a blessing, not a burden. Welcoming the stranger is a fundamental ethical principle in many spiritual traditions, including Unitarian Universalism. 

There are other ways this congregation is building a longer table. Your work in dismantling racism and white supremacy is ongoing, and there is more to do. Members have put a great deal of commitment into welcoming families with children, and we can keep going on that path. The investments you made into technology and multi-platform worship continue to bear fruit, making worship accessible to people near and far. The spiritual practice of invitation is calling us onward. 

May we find reasons for gratitude in this season of change and preparation. May the abundance in our lives overflow into practices that put hospitality and inclusion into action. May we all be blessed in our pluralism, our interdependence, and our generosity. 

So be it. Blessed be. Amen.

TWIN PEAKS: THE MISSING PIECES (2014, Lynch) x PERSONA (1966, Bergman) - near the end of both films

A nurse, in a distinctive nursing cap, cares for a largely mute patient in bed, & at some point is seen to take on some element of her identity...

Though the scene at the end of THE MISSING PIECES is short, it also parallels 3 other distinctive moments or elements from PERSONA: One, the nurse waves her right hand in front of Annie's face, just like the boy in the prologue to PERSONA waves his right hand in front of our face.

Two, we see Annie and the nurse reflected together in a mirror, just as in PERSONA we see Alma and Elisabet together in a mirror, in one of the most iconic sequences of that film. Notice also in the TP:TMP image above that there is a crucifix conspicuously hanging over Annie.

This crucifix brings out a third parallel, its Christian iconography echoing the Christ-like elements of PERSONA's symbolism, from that film's repeated imagery of a nail driven through a hand, to its moment of blood-drinking, to its mention of eternal life, & more...

The distinctive nursing caps/uniforms worn in each film further draw out these Christian parallels by arguably evoking those of nuns' habits, a comparison underscored both in PERSONA by its nurse being referred to as "Sister Alma," & in TP by Annie's past life in a convent.

In addition to the world of religious symbols opened up by each work's implicit or explicit monastic references, the nun allusions also tie in themes of sisterhood, silence, and renunciation that are relevant to both works.

Indeed, Annie's situation at the end of MISSING PIECES seems to intentionally be suggestive of a type of return to this monastic state of silence, seclusion, and an absence of men, one steeped in Christian symbolism.

While neither Lynch nor Frost are practicing Christians (both seem more drawn to Dharmic religions), Annie's Christian faith is strongly emphasized in the series, carrying on a streak in TP's symbolism stretching back to MIKE's "face of God" soliloquy & forward to FWWM's angels.

While the Nurse-Annie scenes in TP:TMP may arguably be viewed as somehow less important to TP canon, given that they were originally deleted, it's important to note the very strong ways that scene parallels Laura's critical, Annie-featuring dream sequence in FWWM:

Consider the ways the Nurse-Annie scene mirrors the Laura-Annie scene. In each: 1). Annie recites the same statement. 2). The jade ring is then passed on to a new person 3). The ring-bearer then sees a reflection, looking back over their right shoulder into a room with a bed

Indeed, as regards the "mirroring" moment, the construction is remarkably similar: we see a rectangular frame with a ring-bearing blonde looking over her right shoulder into a room with a bed. In the case of Laura, her outstretched right hand touches her shadow's hand; in the case of the nurse, her outstretched right hand (as seen in the mirror image) touches her left hand.

(Like the Annie-Nurse scene in TP:TMP, the Annie-Laura scene in FWWM arguably evokes moments of PERSONA as well, albeit here the parallels are more tenuous...)

(It's also perhaps worth noting a connection between Laura & a nurse made in the pilot episode, where a nurse stuffed-animal (a sockpuppet monkey?) can be seen in her bedroom.)

Other minor observations:

-In one of the few other notable elements of mise en scène in the TP:TMP scene, a painting of a lake in a forest can be seen behind the Nurse as she stares down at the ring (just before looking in the mirror), arguably evoking another iconic PERSONA image

-The design on Laura's lamp post seen in several shots of Annie distinctly resembles a divided heart (much like the wreath on the Palmer House door, both suggesting Laura's "divided heart" necklace).

-Note also the 3D "flower" scrunch-flourish on Annie's dress evoking a blue rose.

Much more could be said about all of the topics herein, including especially the links between PERSONA & TP/Lynch generally, as well as the links between the Annie-Laura scene and the Annie-Nurse scene, each of which is deceptively deep.

To end, here's a 2018 quote from Lynch on what motivated his choice to return to TWIN PEAKS: “For a long time, no itch. But at the same time, there’s a thing in FWWM where Laura is in her bed and she's visited by Annie. Annie says, ‘I’m in the Black Lodge with the good Dale. Write that in your diary’. That little bit right there held a string of dreams"

A Swiss Escape

Characters: Daniel Miller x Courtney Roeber

Lyn's Writing Event - Week 4 - Day 24 (late submission)

The chalet was made of sturdy wood, with a sloping roof to let the snow slide off. The windows are framed with wooden shutters, and smoke gently curls from the chimney, indicating a fire inside. Outside, the snow blankets the ground, creating a serene and picturesque scene. The surrounding trees are frosted with snow, and the only sounds you hear are the soft crunch of snow under your feet.

Part 1:

May 24th: Week 4: Blizzard

Characters: Daniel Miller x OC Courtney Roeber (Swiss French)

The character of Daniel Miller was created by Olen Steinhauer, Bradford Winters and Zach Craley for television.  

Fandom: Richard Armitage – Berlin Station – Daniel Miller

Word Count: 1.9k (part 1)

Warnings: extreme weather, blizzard, potential smut, survival, no electricity, stranded, escape scenario, international spies, CIA, guns, knives,

The chalet was made of sturdy wood, with a sloping roof to let the snow slide off. The windows are framed with wooden shutters, and smoke gently curls from the chimney, indicating a fire inside. Outside, the snow blankets the ground, creating a serene and picturesque scene. The surrounding trees are frosted with snow, and the only sounds you hear are the soft crunch of snow under your feet.

As glasses clinked in an open bar, Daniel scanned the room for his contact. When his eyes landed on a beautiful blonde woman at the bar, he cursed under his breath, “God please don’t be her”, he shook it off and made his way towards her, his suit was a warm grey, his tie was missing, collar unbuttoned. His smile was warm, and Courtney’s cheeks flushed when this dark haired and tall man approached her. She was conversating with a colleague and was momentarily silent. The other women looked at Courtney puzzled, “Please go on, and the minister would like to address, what?” the women asked.

Courtney looked at her again, being taller than some, she was used to looking down, but eye to eye with this man was in a word, intoxicating. Daniel stood at the bar a few chairs away, sipping his gin. And side-eyeing her with a quirked expression. Courtney continued with the women, “Yes, he wants to address concerns of the constituents on that matter, I’m sorry will you excuse me, please?” her softened Swiss accent could be caught by Daniel’s perceptive knowledge of dialects. Daniel did his best Swiss dialect impression when he asked her to ‘sit down with him’.

The warm features of the bar and lounge created an ambience of leisure and comfort. Wood and glass surrounding the whole room. Intricate features on walls, and doorways. Open beams hung above them, with pendulums of light hanging in midair it seemed between the large caber beams. Guests were jovial, but not loud, it was a relaxed Sunday evening after a political conference. Some retired to their rooms, and some stayed in the lounge.

Courtney stood against the bar, and looked at him, frankly, “You are supposed to ask me something, no?” her voice came up at the end in a classical Scandinavian way. Daniel smiled shyly, setting his glass down steadily.

“Ya, Du sollst sagen: Mochte ich etwas Schokolade?” (you are supposed to say, would I like some chocolat?)

Courtney warmed with laughter, “Na, geht es dir?” (Well, do you?)

Daniel looked at the bar, and then back at her, “If you’re offering.” (he switched back to English).

Courtney blushed again, slightly, and Daniel tried not to notice. Courtney knew he would be charming, they usually are, but she didn’t trust him.

A storm was due to hit the resort tonight, but living in this area it was all or nothing. Sometimes the cell passed you by and sometimes you were buried for days. It was Sunday evening, and most were leaving for home, so the resort would be all but deserted come Monday morning. Maybe that was why he was here, to tempt her into staying past, and revealing the secrets she had. Though she wanted a cozy snow tryst, she wasn’t sure, he was the one to do that for her. Oh, he was enticing to be sure, clean, handsome, nicely dressed, trying his best to act German, but that American confidence was too obvious to hide behind some simple dialogue.

Daniel saw her mind working overtime as they sat in silence momentarily, “Whatever you know, I can protect you,” he said boldly. Courtney chuckled at that, “Oh, really? So you think this is a state secret then, not just a rambling?”

Daniel looked at her in all seriousness, “I’m not here for ramblings, your intel is good, and I am here to collect you,” 

Courtney looked at him shocked, but she tried to conceal it as she sipped her drink, “I see. Well, I don’t think I will agree to leave with you. You can take the information I have, that is all.  I will make my own way.” Daniel held his breath not wanting to make a snide retort. His hand drifted towards her on the bar, a paper concealed under his palm. Courtney, put her hand on his, and that spark seemed to get stronger, like a pulse of current running through her. Daniel drew his hand away, and she palmed the note.

“Just come find me when you are ready to talk.” He said, he finished his drink and stepped away from the bar, leaving Courtney by herself at the bar.

She found her coat at a table of colleagues and put it on as she exited onto the loggia. It was dark out on the snow, but silent, as the door closed behind her. Courtney shivered, but she wasn’t cold. A breeze kicked up her hair against her parka, and she pulled up her hood around her face framing it in fur. Courtney opened the note Daniel had given to her. It simply had his room number on it, and a code for something else, but she wasn’t sure what. It was a 4 digit code. 4152. His room number was 209. She noted that and tossed the paper into the air watching it catch in the breeze and float down to the snowy path below her. A car pulled up to the entrance below and pressed the paper further into the snow and gravel drive. Courtney amused re-entered the lounge through the glass door. She moved through the bar and headed to her room.

---

Daniel had retired to his room, to wait for her, though he wasn’t sure if she would come that easily. He knew what room she was in, but thought it was best to just wait and have her come to him. As long as she did it tonight. Tomorrow morning would be too much commotion when everyone from the conference leaves, including her.

He paced in the suite between the bed and the seating area, not sure what to do with himself. He hadn’t been this anxious in awhile and it drove him mad. He went to his duffle and took out his gun, clicking it, and checking the magazine, making sure the safety was on. Just busying his hands. A soft knock fell upon the door and Daniel looked up, sharply. He disengaged the gun, set it back into his bag on the dresser and stepped to the door.

“Yes?” he asked the door, looking through the peephole. Her golden locks flashed in the tiny lens, and Daniel’s eyes dilated instantly. Daniel unlocked the door and opened it, lazily hanging his hand at the top of the door, “Come in, I wasn’t sure you would stop by.” He ushered her in, checking the hallway as he closed the door and stood against it. Courtney turned to him, “I had the room, so I figured, it was worth a look”, she tried for a smile, but it looked more nervous than she actually was feeling.

The overhang of his loggia in his room created a looming shadow to the storm that was now well underway outside. The doors rattled in the wind a bit. Courtney was nervous now, she could be delayed getting home tomorrow if this storm didn’t let up by morning. Daniel watched her expression change when she looked out the glass doors to the patio.

“Is there something you want to tell me?” Daniel asked, curiously.

Courtney met his eyes this time, “Yes, you wanted me to tell you what I had for information, correct, and then I can leave, right?”

Daniel stepped towards her, she moved back a half step, even as she was nearly his height, he could still be intimidating. Daniel gave her a glowing smile to ease her apprehension, “I just need to hear it, and then I can let you know what is best for your safety, if we think you will be compromised by releasing the information to us, then I am assigned to protect you”, he smirked, looking at her hungrily, as his hand drifted towards her coat sleeve. Courtney tensed, mildly, “do you want me to take your coat?” he offered, trying to be hospitable, as he stepped clear of her and towards the makeshift bar he had made with a countertop and a mini fridge.

“Can I get you a drink?” Daniel asked her. Courtney shook her head, but realized that he wasn’t looking at her, “No, no I’m fine. Let’s just do this”, she gathered up her courage and sat down at the desk opposite the seating area.

Daniel turned to her, sipping some wine, from a tumbler glass, “Go ahead, I’m all ears.”

Courtney sighed, “Ok, my name is Courtney Roeber, I work for the Swiss Minister of Police, and I think he is involved in a scandal involving trafficking of youth from Kazakhstan,” she paused as Daniel’s eye brows furrowed, “As you probably know, Kazakstan is home to many different ethnicities’ so many different, well from a beauty and fertile standpoint, women and girls can look so very different and so very pretty, so I think he is importing them.”  Courtney, clutched her key card, rolling it over in her hand. Daniel sat down on the bed, closer to her.

“Look, I know this is a delicate matter, and I want to handle it as best I can. What made you make this link between Jans and the girls?” Daniel inquired.

Courtney looked at him and sighed, shoving her hand down her shirt and producing a thumb drive on a lanyard, “I have it in his correspondence, I run his books for him and too much money was going for “aid sponsorships” and then disappearing and reappearing into his personal holding accounts. So I copied the files, and ran them against his travel. Several dates matched up. It cannot be coincidence”. Daniel reached for the thumb drive, “Can I see it for myself?”

Courtney pulled on the lanyard and it broke free from her neck, she handed him the drive that dangled the end. Daniel took it whispering thanks, he smiled warmly and placed it into his tablet, clicking on files and scanning the data. He took out his phone and sent the files to HQ.

“Well, this all looks in order. And I see why they had to hire outside the scope. Im sorry if this compromises you, even morally”, Daniel said, placing a hand on her arm. Courtney still didn’t trust him, but he was being very nice. He wasn’t slamming her up ahainst walls or threatening her, or trying to kill her for the information. He just, asked. She smiled back at him.

“So I can go now, yes? I really should get packed up for tomorrow,” Courtney stood and Daniel stood too. His hand make it to her arm again, this time it squeezed a little.

His breath was near her face, “I don’t think you should go back to your room tonight. There may be someone out looking for you. I tracked several suspicious men on this floor just before you left the bar. Courtney froze a second, “Wait, how did you know when I left the bar?” Courtney rolled her eyes, “spies, all of you,” then she swore in German and moved away from him. Daniel let go of her. Courtney walked out of his room and into the hallway, towards the stairwell to her own floor. Daniel stared as the door closed, and chuckled to himself, “She’ll be back, but in the meantime, I have the intel.” Daniel called into HQ and gave his report, sent the files, made sure to copy them and then discarded the thumb drive in the room safe punching in the code, 4152. It clicked and locked with a beep. He closed the closet door and sorted himself out for the night. Tucking his gun under his pillow. He laid in bed and stared up at the ceiling.

Hunter was less than surprised to find Lyn crashed on his couch when he got back. She was sprawled under one of his blankets with a bag of Frosted Flakes watching some grainy, yellow vintage movie and she barely turned to look at him as he threw his coat on the chair.

"What is this?"

"Dead Poets' Society. Like I'm always telling you about." She didn't look away. "The first unmanned flying desk set."

Hunter watched long enough to see the desk set go tumbling off the bridge before he cocked an eyebrow. "You hate this movie. You said it was insufferably sad."

"Oh, it is. But just like, the last forty minutes. So I turn it off before then." She looked at him like he was stupid. "I like everything about it but the sad part."

He rolled his eyes and declared that he was going to bed.

Hunter startled awake, at Lyn's nudge. She stood there next to his bed, two evident tear tracks splitting her face in half.

"You didn't turn it off," He mumbled groggily.

She laughed wetly. "I wanted to see the part with Todd in the snow. I thought I could handle it."

He huffed irritably but pulled back the blanket enough that she could slide in next to him and curl under his arm.

"I won't do it again," she whispered.

"Yes, you will."

"Yeah, probably."

They both laughed sleepily and Lyn almost said something else, something like thank you or i love you, but she knew it wouldn't mean anything to him, not the way she meant it.

So she didn't say anything at all.

Masters of the Universe (which was worse, this or The New Adventures of He-Man? Let me know in the comments!), Part 1

(Thanks to Warner Bros.)

[All images are owned by Mattel and The Cannon Group MGM. Please don’t sue me]

In the 80s, one of the hottest cartoons in syndication was He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. It was so popular that not only did he get a spin-off series starring a previously unknown twin sister named Adora (AKA She-Ra), but the 5-part series that introduced them was made into a feature film!

Naturally, someone would get the bright idea to capitalize on He-Man’s popularity by making a live-action film.

Unfortunately, as you will see, not much thought went into how to put together such a film.

The film starred Dolph Lundgren (previously known as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV) as He-Man. While he certainly looked the part, Lundgren sadly didn’t have the acting chops to pull off a Leading Role (which he proved again a few years later in The Punisher)

On the other side is Skeletor, played by Frank Langella (best known for playing Nixon in Frost/Nixon) in a horrible-looking mask. Langella did a great job chewing the scenery when he spoke, but was not up for any major action sequences, especially while wearing a horrible-looking face-covering prosthetic (which may explain why his screen time was very limited)

The rest of the cast I’ll reveal as they’re introduced (including two who would go on to better things)

Now, on with the show! If you would like to watch the film, it’s available on Tubi or behind your favorite paywall.

We open in the throne room of Castle Greyskull, where Skeletor’s forces have taken the Castle and have all but conquered Eternia. Unfortunately for Skeletor, He-Man is leading the resistance against him.

Unfortunately for He-Man, Skeletor’s taking of Greyskull means he has the powerful Sorceress under his control (though she resists his efforts to use her power)

Skeletor then broadcasts his declaration of victory to all of Eternia.

He-Man is less than impressed with Skeletor’s gloating. He spots a squad of Skeletor’s forces with a prisoner tied up in a net. He makes short work of the goons…

…with a little help from Duncan (Eternia’s Man-at-Arms) and his daughter Teela, and frees the prisoner…

…Gwildor (played by Billy Barty in another bad prosthetic mask. Did this film not have a costuming budget?), who is the film’s comic relief. Personally, I’d rather have Orko as the comic relief, but I’m guessing he would’ve been more than the special effects budget could’ve handled.

He-Man wants to know why Skeletor wanted Gwildor, so takes He-Man and the other to his home and shows them…

A device known as the Cosmic McGuffin Key, capable of opening a portal to any place in the universe. Skeletor’s lieutenant Evil-Lyn stole the only other copy of the Cosmic Key (which explains how Skeletor breached Greyskull’s defenses)

He-Man prepares to do the same to take Grayskull back, but Skeletor’s forces find them first! Fortunately, Gwildor has a secret back door that leads under Greyskull (HOW CONVENIENT!) and they escape before the front door is breached. Hopefully they remember to shut the back door.

Inside Greyskull, the group see the Sorceress trapped inside Skeletor’s magic field.

Naturally, He-Man doesn’t care. Gwildor works on attuning the Cosmic Key to the field imprisoning the Sorceress as Skeletor’s goons approach…

…with Evil Lyn directing the charge, and Skeletor not far behind. Skeletor then monologues about his plan to steal the Sorceress’s power at moonrise (which one? I thought Eternia has two moons), then unleash his fury upon the universe! Then Evil Lyn spots Gwildor.

With the jig up, Duncan tells Gwildor to set the key to take them away, but doesn’t specify where (you’d like working with Orko all those years would teach him to be specific) Gwildor punches a bunch of random buttons and a portal opens. Unfortunately, the Cosmic Key is shot and damaged as they jump through!

Skeletor, naturally, is livid.

And where did they wind up?

So not even Gwildor knows? Greeeeeaaaaaat…

Even worse, when they landed, they lost track of the Cosmic Key!

Then they encounter a native to this strange world they’ve landed on.

…a cow? Yes, He-Man and his friends have landed on Earth. I guess they didn’t have much of a set design budget either. Anyway, the four split up and look for the Cosmic Key so they can return, fight a few thousand of Skeletor’s goons, and free the Sorceress before moonrise gives Skelertor Absolute Power. No pressure or anything.

Later, at a nearby rib and fried chicken shack, we are introduced to Julie (played by Courtney Cox, who would later be one of the Friends) on her last day of work and preparing to move to New Jersey after her parents were killed in an accident (I’m so sorry…both about losing her parents and moving to Jersey)…

…and her sorta-kinda ex-boyfriend, a musician named Kevin (played by Robert Duncan McNeill, who would go on to play Tom Paris in Star Trek: Voyager), who Julie broke up with since she was leaving. As they drive off together…

(Thanks to Phuck Yiu)

(So Eternians don’t eat meat? Then what the hell do they feed Battle Cat?)

Back to Kevin and Julie…they’re visiting Julie’s parents’ graves and we get some backstory on her parents’ death (they died due to changing plans after Julie “had to study” wanted to spend time with Kevin. However, as they leave…

…they find the Cosmic Key. Kevin thinks it’s some sort of synthesizer (I mean, it does make music as it works) and plans to incorporate it into his gig that evening. They then activate it.

…giving Skeletor a signal to trace. He orders Evil-Lyn to open a portal to the Cosmic Key’s location the next time it’s activated and send a squad to retrieve it (and He-Man)

Later at the local high school, as Kevin does his sound check for the school dance (with Julie offering emotional support. I thought they broke up?)…

With that, he once again activates the Cosmic Key. With that, Skeletor sends Evil-Lyn’s hand-picked squad (and a few mooks) to retrieve the Cosmic Key and drag He-Man back so Skeletor can gloat.

(Left to right: Blade, Saurod, Karg, and Beast-man)

Back on Earth, Kevin wants to show the Cosmic Key to his friend Charlie while Julie wants some alone time. Three guesses what happens while Kevin’s gone.

The Goon Squad rush in to capture Julie (since she might know where the Cosmic Key is). She escapes, but…

Man, Kevin’s gonna be pissed when he gets back!

Fortunately for Julie, He-Man is in the area looking for the Cosmic Key as well.

He-Man stashes Julie in a secluded spot and hands her his pistol while he deals with them.

(Thanks to Action Cut)

With Skeletor’s goons chased off, He-Man asks Julie about the Cosmic Key.

Speaking of the Key, Kevin talks to Charlie (played by Barry Livingston, who played Ernie on My Three Sons) about his cool new synthesizer.

Suddenly, Charlie sees police cars and fire truck whizzing by and he checks the police band to see what’s happening (three guesses)

Kevin rushes back to the high school and is confronted by…

…Detective Lubic (played by James Tolkan, who played the principal in Back to the Future) Kevin demands that Lubic look for Julie, so Lubic packs him up and off they go!

Meanwhile, Duncan and Leela report that the Goon Squad got away. They hear a banging and turn to attack!

…but it’s only Gwildor in a car that matches his hair. They all pile in and off they go!

WILL He-Man and his friends be able to RETURN to ETERNIA?

WILL they defeat SKELETOR before it's TOO LATE?

WILL someone give the producers a budget for...ANYTHING?

These questions and MORE will be ANSWERED in the exciting CONCLUSION!
