I know there's like 0 possibly of marvel ever letting Peter Parker officially be queer, but what about Johnny? Do you think it's possible that he could be confirmed as bi/pan at some point?

Johnny Storm exists in the weirdest canon sexuality grey area known to mankind. Is he constantly referred to as gay? Yeah. Is there evidence that several high profile Marvel creators think he's queer? Yes. Marjorie Liu confirmed that the intent in her run in Dark Wolverine was that there was a sexual relationship between him and Akihiro. Kurt Busiek retweeted an article I wrote that explicitly discussed the homosexual subtext of Johnny's character. Dan Slott reportedly wanted to write Johnny and Wyatt in a romantic relationship, which is believable if you look at the beginning of his run, but was told no. (Slott's written gay relationships before in Amazing Spider-Man, so I wouldn't find this so surprising.) And John Byrne wrote this:

(FF #251) John Byrne I desperately want to study you in a lab.

But is Johnny canonically anything but 100% straight? No, not officially. Marvel, the conglomerate, officially views Johnny as heterosexual, and if the Dan Slott thing is true even recently blocked an attempt at having Johnny come out. If this is true, it's most likely because of the new movie, because let's be honest, corporate Marvel does not care about Johnny Storm on the same level it cares about Spider-Man or the Punisher or Iron Man.

Because let's be honest. This goes deep. And it's been going on a long time. The above John Byrne panel is not the only example. There is a long-running thread of homophobic comments targeting Johnny running through 616 canon.

(Hulk vs Thing: Hard Knocks #3) "Light in the loafers" is slang for a gay man, for anyone who doesn't know.

(Dark Reign: Zodiac #2. I don't recommend reading this, by the way, not even if you're going deep down the Johnny Sexuality Well, but for the record Johnny, despite not being canonically gay, literally gets gaybashed in this comic.)

(FF #151) Does it get more blatant than a character named "Mahkizmo" referring to Johnny as "an effeminate"? Someone get me Gerry Conway on the phone, I need to know what he was thinking when he wrote this. (I know what Gerry Conway was thinking because Gerry Conway is a very good and very intentional writer.)

Then there's Ben's repeated teasing about Johnny's "crush" on Spider-Man, referring to them as "love boids" and so on. This is friendlier than the above comments, but then, if we assume Johnny is queer, Ben would know about it. He certainly knew what was going on with Johnny and Akihiro.

(Daken: Dark Wolverine #4) "Got what he came for, right?" Real double entendre here, since "what he came for" is both a weapon from Reed and, clearly, sex with Johnny.

The posing here is not subtle, even before you factor in that Marjorie Liu, who co-wrote this series along with Daniel Way, confirmed on social media that the relationship was meant to be read as sexual. (So you can probably add Way to the list of writers who think Johnny is queer, too.)

In fact, I'd say that Liu and Way depict the whole family as knowing about Johnny's sexuality and about the relationship.

(Daken: Dark Wolverine #4)

So if Johnny is in the closet, the way this issue frames it, he's only in the closet to the public. He's not in the closet to his family.

(Deadline #1) "All right, Storm, who were you with last night: Britney? Christina? Eminem?" in reference to Johnny getting caught "with a bottle in one hand and a blonde in another." So he's not doing a great job on that front, either.

Then there's Johnny's tendency, despite the perception of him as a womanizer, to look incredibly uncomfortable when he's kissed by a woman -- even a woman he purportedly has romantic interests in. Take, for example, the following panels:

(FF #562) He certainly is just standing there while Psionics, his one-time bad girl fling, kisses him and invites him to come see her again. Which he doesn't do, by the way. The next time he sees Psionics, she'll kill his close family friend Alyssa Moy right in front of him. Great!

(FF #259) Literally running away from Sharon Selleck. Now, we can say that he just wasn't attracted to her, which is true -- he was very ardently pursuing her roommate, Julie DeAngelo. Except.

(FF #263) That's certainly some kind of posture when she kisses him, and of course as soon as she kisses him, he's "over her."

There's more examples of this, too, where Johnny has a pre-existing connection with a woman only for him to completely freeze up or lean away from her when he's kissed, with no follow through on his part. (This is part of the reason I personally headcanon him as gay and not bi, but that's besides the point.) And it's a totally separate issue from the other longrunning thread of him being kissed as a form of assault. Which also happens. Like a lot. "Johnny Storm" and "consent issues" are basically synonymous at this point, which again is really interesting if we're looking at this from the perspective of Johnny and sexuality, since most of these incidents involve women as the perpetrators.

(Most. Not all. Dark Reign: Zodiac definitely implies some things, and I think it's interesting that Akihiro initiates his connection to the Fantastic Four by shooting Johnny through the thigh with an arrow.)

I've mentioned this before, but again, for a character who has the reputation that Johnny has developed, both in and out of universe, it is deeply bizarre that he does not have sex scenes. He doesn't have them. Peter Parker has sex scenes. Kinky sex scenes! There is zero doubt in my mind that that Peter Parker is attracted to women. I can't even show you Johnny Storm having vanilla missionary honeymoon lovemaking that fades to black. Whenever they want to show you he's had sex, it is always in the aftermath, and he is rarely having a great time about it. What's up with that, Marvel! I know, but do you!

Then there's Unstable Molecules: Fantastic Four, which exists in a metatextual area -- it's a fictionalized account of the "real people" who inspired the Fantastic Four, the story of four people rapidly barreling towards a disastrous dinner party that would be witnessed by two comic book creators. And it's Johnny is definitely queer.

(Unstable Molecules #3) "Johnny, it is the fiery night, and you are a holy flaming flower." The extras for Unstable Molecules even include a love poem written by the beatnik who calls him "a holy flaming flower" that is definitely supposed to be about Johnny.

So that's the grey area. You have all of this content that either implies or occasionally outright states that Johnny is not straight. But according to Marvel, the actual publisher and company, Johnny is straight. Personally, I don't like saying things are canon if they aren't explicitly 100% confirmed canon, but the wealth of evidence here is so substantial that I make an exception. It's just a matter of when Marvel the actual company is going to admit it.

(Fantastic Four: Marvel Snapshots #1)

Round 1 - Side B

firestar art by @kudos-si-do

Propaganda below ⬇️

Kirei

He fucked up so many people's lives so badly in just one decade (not on purpose) that the universe put him in the summoning pool of all world influencing souls. He doesnt really have any special powers but he does serve as a vessel for rasputin at one point. He's the guy who says "people die when they are killed"

please please please there's literally a type moon character in the gif on the top of this form so it's typemoonphobic if none of them get in but it shouldn't be her it should be kirei bc he's 50x funnier & more iconic than jeanne. funny lil murder priest who's fucking THE gilgamesh (from the epic of) in the church basement and dies in a knife fight w a 17 year old whose dad he wanted to fuck back in '94 before realizing that he was actually kinda lame and he's been bitter abt it ever since. he has an orphan torture factory in his basement but he's also canonically good at being a priest. he's so funny you should def try his mapo tofu i swear it's totally safe for human consumption and not made with any california reapers. did i mention he's a deadbeat dad.

Priest claims to be Pro Life to make Sakura Matou the most miserable girl on the planet, but he dies anyway.

bro became a catholic because he loves suffering

He’s a priest. Kind of. Not a very good priest obviously. There is something seriously wrong and fucked up with that man. It’s so entertaining.

he's gotta be one of the most insane catholic men ever with a very in-depth and interesting relationship with his religion and his relationship with god also he's the sexiest man ever to be conceptualized in the known universe and all of time

Will never forget the 40+ minute monologue in heavens feel being a thinly veiled metaphor for abortion

he wants to torment churchgoers and make them face their failures and suffering but all he ends up doing is motivate them to improve themselves. cringefail moment for him

he's absolutely insane. the coldhearted mercenary that barely reacts to anything is terrified of kirei. he's super fucked up. his ult in stay night is literally him channeling divine power into something called kyrie eleison. he's the vessel of rasputin (on account of being a priest with a huge....no i shant say) the biblical beast in grand order among other things. he gets drunk with and tops gilgamesh from the epic of gilgamesh in the church basement after gilgamesh from the epic of gilgamesh bats his eyes a little too hard at kirei in some of the horniest shot scenes ive ever seen. he also used to be a heretical "fixer" for the church, cleaning up scenes that would expose shit to the public. uhh what else. he holds cool swords between his fingers like a kid pretending to be wolverine but in my favorite route he just squares the hell up with the protagonist and they fight to the death outside planned parenthood

Firestar

Kitty jesus, he believes in starclan which is the kitty version of heaven/god and yea. All the warrior cats characters except those outside the clans or those that are atheist believe in the kitty heaven and would irl be bri-ish and christian as hell so. The authors are all older british christian women and so the way starclan is written is like undoubtedly that.

The main religion in the series is extremely catholic coded. Most clan cats believe in Starclan and the Dark Forest(or heaven and hell). There is a set of rule they must uphold and follow, where following them leads to heaven and breaking them leads to hell. Their religious leaders are sworn to celibacy, and the punishments that "code breakers"(or cats who break the rules) face are extremely similar to situations people with religious trauma have gone through.

OP notes: apparently converted to avoid getting his balls cut?? Idk. The discord yet wild for firestar so I had to include him because it's hilarious hehehe

a few things I noticed watching a lot of the Logan focused marvel movies

as in: x men, x 2, x men origins: wolverine; and Deadpool & wolverine.

also, if any of these are common knowledge/or otherwise well known, I apologise.

#1: Logan does his own hair

in x men I noticed that in the scene just after Logan wakes up after being treated by jean for the first time he is lacking his iconic cat-ears.

compare:

Without ears

Vs.

With ears

difference is subtle but there.

now, this implies one of two things: that Hugh Jackman's stylists forgot OR that in canon wolverine does his own ears, one of these possibilities is far more enticing than the other. the image of Logan doing his hair in the morning, teasing it into the perfect cat-ear shape is too adorable to ignore.

#2: the difference in stance between Logan and Victor in Origins

this one is a little more out there, but in origins Victor operates and fights in a more animalistic nature than Logan, taking lower stances, wider openings, bigger swings/actions, all of these create a more primal/animalistic effect in his fights

(picture is a bit shit, but I digress)

see the erratic movements, very indicative of how an animal would move in a similar circumstance

Contrast this with Logan's running like just a lil guy

the difference is night and day.

and this all plays into the movies extended metaphor on humanity and beastie-ness and the use of each mode of thought, which I found really cool

#3: wolverine is a wolverine

so this literally came to me as I was writing this post, to look at the Wikipedia for wolverine, and well it all tracks.

"The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself."

(Wikipedia, ND)

sound familiar? Tangentially, many non-English names for wolverine literally mean glutton (German Vielfraß, literally devours much) (Wikipedia, ND) however in English and many northern Germanic languages the name probably means something closer to little wolf (Wikipedia, ND) and in old Norse the name was Jarfr, which now lives on in the regular Icelandic name Jarfi, Jarfr being the name of a kickass metal song that I love.

Wolverine is literally, and by connotation with is spirit animal five foot four and full of rage.

(tangent brought to you exclusive by Wikipedia)

#4: wolverine smokes so he doesn't have to smell everyone else

this is probably the most headcanony observation(?) on this list, in that the only evidence I have is vibes and Logan's cigar addiction.

the thought is, Logan has super smell, cigars are smelly, he smells the cigars so he doesn't have to smell literally everything else.

#5: bonus round!! Deadpool time!

more focused on Wayde in origins now,

#6: fox hated Ryan Reynolds so much they sewed his mouth shut as Deadpool,

not much substantive here, but I was availed to the fact that the directors of Origins hated Reynolds being fun, so it would make sense that they would literally cover his mouth as Deadpool so that he would shut the fuck up

#7: Deadpool's Katanas are the wrong way in Origins

notice how the blades curve towards Wayde, and that the cutting edge is on the inside, this is counter productive to the aim of a curved single edged sword, which is to have the curvature of the blade aid in slashing power, this is counter productive against the thought behind having a curved blade in the first place (also the double katanas out of the knuckles is a separately stupid idea, because 1) holding a sword gives you a lot more finesse than if it were just sticking out of your hand, due to being able to manipulate your wrist vs not, and if they work the same as Logan's claws, then whenever they are retracted Wayde would have two walk around with his arms completely straight, like a scarecrow

anywho, rant(?), discussion(?), compendium(!) over all of those movies are Australian man/10 and i will fight anyone who disagrees

oh yeah! I watched Deadpool vs Wolverine last night lol

I had the chance to see it with my crew but it meant going down to hollywood and i didn't wanna do that.

But man.....that sure was something.

I enjoyed the yaoi. And I enjoyed Blade (when he showed up I almost cried)

But idk if it was my mom's TV or just how movies are in general but I kept having to turn it up and down and I couldn't figure out the subtitles so I couldn't understand half fo what was going on. There were also great big moments of standing around and talking which is FINE but also....made it REALLY DIFFICULT when I couldn't HEAR anything.

But it was a really sweet tribute to the Pre-MCU movies but also kind of.....sad??? Like.....if you kicked someone out of their house and were like "This is a tribute to the people I kicked out of this house. Bless"

Its not that ....severe but it was a weird feeling. And hopefully I don't get in trouble for saying that since ...where I work lmao but I'm saying that as a fan that has been there SINCE Blade. SINCE that first X-men movie. Since the 90s X-men cartoon AND the 90s FF cartoon which my friend made me watch bc she liked Reed and it was...wow.

So Yeah. A weird experience but I also....understood the sentiment.

Also the really long deadpool fight made me really tired LOL Like I get it and they made fun of it as well but I was so zonked at that point (TBF I was recovering from thanksgiving dinner and my mom was juuuuuuuuuust about to start being a nightmare as she's one to do during the holidays)

TBH some of the fights were very........lackluster to me BUT IN MY DEFENSE I WORK IN ANIMATION AND SOME OF THE STUFF WE CAN DO IS SO BANANAPANTS CRAZY COOL (not me I do drama and silly scenes bc I'm just a silly billy that likes crying)

But the Car Fight. I get it. I get the yaoi of it. That was easily my favorite fight LMAO

Lol i think the other thing might be that I've never really been the biggest Deadpool fan. Like he's fine but I've already experienced enough comic con/anime con deadpools who...tested every last nerve in my body.

But I am always here for Wolvie. I will always be here for Wolvie.

And I hate Tom from Succession so much. LMAO

#I also started watching Agatha #and wow i wasn't EXPECTING the lesbian drama but I was definitely here for it #my work account isn't ad free tho so....idk LOL

"Halloween at the Theme Park" pt. 1 Scarecrow Edition

Howdy hey :) Did you guys miss me? Sorry it took me some time to come back around BUT I'M HERE FOR THE SPOOKY SEASON. We're going to do a series of asks based on the same prompt of going to a theme park that does horror mazes in halloween (see: HHN at Universal Studio, Knotts Scary Farm, Fright Fest at Six Flags, etc). I'm going to do Scarecrows, then Rogue Party and finally Wolverine and Deadpool :). Other asks can delve into this prompt more if so wished.

TW: horror, horror mazes, theme parks, villain behavior, drugs, some suggestive content

General

He's an old man. Doesn't this seem to be a night for someone a bit... younger? The idea of gallivanting around a theme park with drunken 20 somethings looking for a thrill at 2 am... Of course he's normally awake at that time, it's more the principle of it. Genuinely he'll be surprised at the diversity of people that go and will cave if you ask sweetly enough.

Absolute curmudgeon about theme park pricing on food and merchandise. If you warned him at all ahead of time, he has wrapped and packed sandwiches he hid on his person. What, you think he's been a criminal this long in his life and he can't fool some minimum wage security guard looking for booze or weapons? Please, give him some credit. Eat your sandwich. Will not buy a souvenir unless it's something he noticed you were PARTICULARLY attached to.

Most places will give him a disability fast pass for mazes on account of him very obviously using a cane. Bum legs and long lines not mixing well and all that. This is a bonus for you given you're his plus one. If anyone has anything to say about him using a cane or in general being rude to either of you... The cane has a multi function of taking out knees. Which he will absolutely put on a routine of just being a clumsy old man to get out of it.

As for the actual horror of the horror attraction... He likes finding a good place to sit and watch the interactions people have with the scare actors. He wants to feel in the moment, listening to the banter and screams in the night. If any jump at him, he's much more likely to "talk" to their characters and interact than he is to jump or show much reaction. At most he gives a pleasant, knowing smile that nothing this person could do could ever compare to the horrors he's inflicted upon the citizens of Gotham.

He'll hold onto you when you go through mazes as some tend to be disorienting with lights (whether effects of a lack of). Tends to like mazes with a strong concept that you can follow the story throughout the attraction. No real preference for themes other than "oh god, not another clown." He's had enough of those in his career.

BTAS

You don't have to do a lot of convincing. Considering his field of study in fears and phobias when he was a professor, he finds horror mazes to be an interesting intersection of your interests and his. It's rather like running an interactive experiment as he's experiencing it himself. He likes to watch and gauge how much is being startled from a jumpscare vs. a true sensation of fear. You can practically see him taking notes in his head. Some of these might be good ideas to play off of for later...

He tends to scoff at the prices for any of it, from the spooky themed food to the merchandise around every corner- He still buys it, though. In his mind, this is a special thing for the two of you and he put money to the side exclusively for it. Seeing you get excited over any of the things he might buy you makes it worth it.

He gets a delighted sort of chuckle when a scare actor can manage to "get" him. For the most part he doesn't react strongly so someone getting his heart rate up is exciting! It makes him feel young again. Seeing you react gives him a bit of glee as well. He likes the feeling of you grabbing him in reaction. It's rather... well. He was never made to feel like a strong man in his life given his physique. It's comforting.

Traumatized from his time at Arkham Asylum and therefore will not want to do any mazes that are hospital or asylum themed. He finds them tasteless given the abuses many patients suffered historically and, in the case of Gotham, currently. And nothing with bats! No bat mazes! Shockingly, if there are mazes based on specific phobias, he's very excited.

He has a very small bottle of what appears to be spray sunscreen on his person, which is a very strange thing to carry since most of these events are at night. You might even wonder why until you see another guest being incredibly rude to a scare actor and security for simply doing their job. Then you see Jonathan spritzing the rude person with "sunscreen" as you walk by. It doesn't take long for the fear toxin to kick in.

Arkham games

He's unsure at first. It's not because he won't enjoy any of it, he's just positive he could do it better. What if it's disappointing because he's seen the city of Gotham bow their knees in terror to the master of fear? People going to this place for kicks? You and he should be the ones getting the only real fun out of other people being scared. (He will not admit that it's because he horribly dislikes being scared himself)

He'll say how expensive everything is but the moment there is a crow or a little scarecrow, there is a significant chance he's going to purchase it. It's for you, of course. He can rag on Edward for narcissism all day, but he can have his moments. It's cute, right? If you really didn't like it, he wouldn't. However, if you do, you have a new little friend. As for food... he might try to sneak something in. Either that, or he's scouring the park for the cheapest thing he can find.

Genuinely a little sore if any of the actors manages to spook him. It's so cheap, you know, just jumping at someone to elicit a surprise response (as if he has any place to talk). He could do it better. He could make this entire PARK QUAKE with fear- and you have to sort of put him back on topic this is fun. Is he having fun? Yes, he admits despite being embarrassed, it's fun.

It's when another guest is rude, bumping into you and laughing it off out of drunkenness. That's when it stops being fun. He couldn't exactly bring his glove set up to the park without raising many questions to security. He's also not ready to get his ass kicked by trying to hit the nitwit while he's unarmed. Yet you see him dig within his pockets and produce a small white bundle. Barely the size of a teardrop pinched between his fingers. Then he tosses it. It makes a loud crack on the ground behind the guest and sizzles a sickly green, releasing just enough fear toxin as the person turns around to give them a deep inhale. The two of you slip out into the crowd as they begin to have a panic attack.

In contrast to BTAS, will be a sucker for a maze that's set in a hospital given his own adventures that night in Arkham Asylum. Gives him all kinds of happy feelings seeing the ideals of that place twisted at the beck and call to fear. Sure, some might find it distasteful, but he finds it thrilling.

BTAA

You don't have to approach him, he already checked your schedule and bought the tickets. Likely to several parks. There is a faint chance he might be more excited to do this than you are. Absolutely offers you "product" to heighten the experience but isn't put out if you don't want anything. Oh, so you want to feel all of it raw and with clarity, hm? Sure, he wouldn't deny you that.

He can and will drop stupid bank on expensive souvenirs if either of you likes it. Talking about the kind of money he makes is so... gauche, so distasteful- But he's definitely making that kind of money so he'll tell you not to worry about it. In addition, being the weirdo gourmand he is, he's going to be trying themed food if there is any. Some kind of pumpkin concoction with fake eyeballs? He's on it.

Giggly when someone jumps at him. You can't tell if he's actually startled or overjoyed, or a combination of both. Either way, he's certainly having a good time. He'll absolutely try to get you in a situation where you get startled, whether it's by an actor or by himself. Hearing you shriek or gasp, oh it's delicious. There is going to be some very sneaky fondling there in the dark. There is a fair chance he'd have you there within some hidden spot in the mazes if he thought he could get away with it.

There's a group of young 20-somethings that cuts fast in front of you while you walk. You almost trip and one of them makes a smart comment to watch where you're going. It's annoying, but before you can say anything else, your partner tells you to wait back for a second while he talks to them. He speaks to the rude group and it looks like it's all smiles for a moment. You can't make out exactly what it is Jonathan is saying to them. Yet you can see their reactions turn from smug grins to uncomfortable and perturbed frowns. All while Jonathan continues to look so pleased with himself. It doesn't take long for the small group to disperse. He doesn't tell you what he said to them.

To be fair, he's going to like most horror mazes unless they don't meet his standards of story, sets, actors, scares, etc. HOWEVER, he will have a fondness for anything that has the hint or whiff of classic horror. It's a little too obvious to say he'd be thrilled at an interpretation of Basil Karlo's films in a maze format, but it's the truth. Unless it's done poorly of course, and then you'll hear about it for the rest of the ride home where he nitpicks the entire thing. Anything 80's slasher themed will also have him pick up TREMENDOUSLY. He's a little too excited. Expect a make out session afterwards.

s7 episode 6 "the goldberg variation" thoughts

woohoo! last night’s episode was pretty enjoyable, so i’m excited to see where we go tonight. hopefully they’re still all honeymoon-y and basking in that glow.

so, today we might be dealing with the luckiest person alive. hmm. i wonder what sort of nefarious deal made this happen. or maybe there will be no evil behind the scenes pulling the strings. maybe he just really is lucky.

i have no real predictions, except that there will be some sort of dramatic fortune reversal.

i’m very curious about the next episode… could be really hit or miss. fingers are super crossed for a hit.

but first, we must tackle this one!

(post-episode thoughts: aww! this episode felt similar, vibe-wise, to some of my favorite episodes- like humbug, detour, jose chung, etc. i do enjoy a silly one, it must be said.

i think it's so funny that they're at this stage of being openly infatuated with each other- they kissed ONE TIME- and are now able to (mostly) communicate with each other with such clarity. less time fighting about science vs ghouls. less intense arguments (scully tells him what he did was wrong and why very plainly- nothing explosive like they're gotten into in the past). constant flirting. it makes you wonder in retrospect how much of their previous bickering came from unresolved tension. lmao.

a solid ep, one that shall be added to the rewatch list!)

we open in chicago. a game of cards occurs. this dude- who looks like, i don't know, scary john travolta?- has 4 kings in his hand. damn. what are the odds?

another fellow puts down and asks for 5 cards. scary guy with all the kings (later revealed to be named jimmy cutrona) says to let it happen, even if 4 is normally the limit. i assume that mr. weems, who requested the cards, will be the main character of today's episode. he doesn’t seem to know wtf is happening, but he puts $8,000 on it. other guy raises him 15! “i wouldn’t do that. this is all i need” <- a man with principles

hmm…. “now we show each other our cards?” <- bro has no idea what is going on

ahhh! 4 kings from scary guy to a straight flush from weems! now, you may be like me and not know this, but a straight flush beats 4 kings. he declares it beginners luck.

they don’t want to let him leave- they want to earn some money back. but he says sorry and leaves, LMAO. they’re trying to trick him. he keeps saying he thinks they're going up instead of down, LMAO

they’re going to throw him off the building!! and they do!!! he lands in some sort of pit? and crawls out! somehow not dead! he walks away….

who is this man… how did he get into some mafia poker game? and then survive being thrown off a building? he doesn’t even seem to know how to play poker.

mr. weems, i want to study you…

intro time!!!! the full one!!! the truth is out there!!!

i wonder how he ended up being a case for our agents.

scully is exiting a taxi in chicago!!!! calling mulder

“i’m on the northeast corner of 7th and hunter, just like you asked. only you’re not here. so where are you?” her voice and the teasing way she said that is so funny. LMAO, BRO IS ASCENDING BEHIND HER, WHAT THE FUUUCK

“oh…. around. hey, nice outfit!” <- BAHAHA, he thinks he’s so funny and she’s like "wtf is going on"

so the top of the building above them is leased out by a mafioso named jimmy cutrona, whom the FBI have been after for a while. there were agents staked out watching the place last night, and they saw the guy fall 30 floors, and into this shaft! but he walked away! hmmm….

they descend down the shaft thingy. it’s like an elevator but into the ground, i guess. idk. and they have no idea who this dude who miraculously survived is. mulder thinks he might have some sort of regeneration skill

“so, we’re looking for wile e coyote” <- LMAO, i thought she was going to say “wolverine”, but that is also good. and she recounts a story of a solider who fell 4,500 feet with only a broken rib- maybe there was an updraft

“i don’t know, maybe he just got lucky” “what if he got really, really lucky? that’s your big scientific explanation, scully?” LMAOOO

BAHAHA, why is her voice so funny? he’s going on and on about how many variables that would take and she just goes “i dunno” <- you heard her! she doesn't know!!

WAIT. i replayed that because it made me laugh, and i noticed her shining the flashlight right in his face and he giggles <- LMAO!! she’s in a silly mood today!!! i am so happy to see this in her!!

maybe he fell and broke this cart thing. mulder digs in the cart and finds an eyeball! a glass one, to be specific! so maybe they have to find a guy missing an eye.

the way she looks at him when he tosses the eyeball in his hand, LMAO

shoutout to that extra on the street scene who was acting the FUCK out of those 3 seconds of screen time. gesticulating hard af.

“there’s got to be at least 600 people with prosthetic eyes in the greater chicago area” says scully- a rather outstanding sentence, may i add- as they stand wayyyy too close together, buzzing an intercom. but only one henry weems made an appointment to get a new one this morning, says mulder! the man gets results!

“maybe he can’t see his way to the door” <- SCULLY, STFUUUUU (said with SO much love and a stupid grin on my face) OHHH he looks at her... and he SMILESSSS... stop. this is so funny

an old lady exits and mulder catches the door behind her to sneak them in, bahahaaa

oh, it’s been a while since they’ve just barged into a building. they were pros at that in the early seasons. so this feels like coming home in a way. i will someday have to make a list of all the times they just walked into places without waiting for an invite.

they walk in, but someone asks for help, saying it’s an emergency. well! how lucky that this lady stumbled right into a doctor!

oh. well. she wants her pipes fixed?

“ma’am, we’re not plumbers” “i didn’t say you were” <- LMAO, she’s fed TF UP and demands mulder tighten the pipes!

mulder climbs in, asking if weems, who is the building supervisor, can’t be here. this lady says you might as well wait for jimmy hoffa.

A CHILD COMES OUT AND SAYS HE’S TURNING THE PIPES THE WRONG WAY, BAHAHAAAA!! listen!! he is a fancy new england boy!! what makes you think he’s ever touched a pipe before?!

he yells that he knows that and scully bites back a smile (it’s so CUTE) but noooo! the pipe bursts in his face!!! oh, look at scully covering her mouth, oh my god…..

NOOOOO, HE FALLS THROUGH THE FLOOR!!!! smile has been REMOVED from scully’s face as she LUNGES for him

“you okay, mulder?” “yeah, it’s alright, my ass broke the fall” <- LMAOOOOO, poor sopping wet man. finding himself in such a situation. falling down a hole in front of the love of his life. but! he found weems!!

LEAVE HIM ALONE, WEEMS!! DO NOT BE MEAN TO HIM lmao mulder whips his eyeball out and asks him “want to try this on for size, cinderella?” <- yeah!! get his ass!

poor mulder is still patting himself dry with a towel… aww.

weems was hiding from “you people”, refusing to testify against jimmy cutrona. fair enough.

BAHAHAHAAAAA, MULDER GAGS WHEN HE PUTS HIS EYEBALL BACK IN THE SOCKET..... LMAOOOO, he smiles and turns to scully who is just watching him, not looking very interested at all

weems says maybe he just got lucky- except this bruise- “aww”, says mulder, turning to scully and pretending to pout- and he didn’t get to keep his poker winnings!

mulder is investigating his contraption. it’s a marble thingy… he presses the button and watches as the balls follow a series of really intricate tubes until this wooden dude gets hanged. and mulder says “ah! that’s craftsmanship” <- NERD!!! but weems denies it has any greater meaning.

scully asks him to please reconsider testifying- jimmy will definitely try to kill him again, and mulder adds that they can protect him! which he refuses.

“so, here’s the plan as i see it: we inform the chicago field office about weems, leaving it to them to secure his testimony, you change your clothes, we fly back to DC by sunset, and all is right with the world” <- BAHAHAHA, she wants to go hooooooome!! and she’s blatantly hitting on him. at least, it seems that way to me. oh my god. i used to pray for times like these.

but mulder thinks the case is just now getting good! “interesting, mulder, was when we were looking for wile e coyote” <- this mfer and her cartoon metaphors 💀

she gives up waiting for the elevator, declaring they shall use the stairs instead. but just as they leave, some gangster guy emerges!

noooo! mulder gets locked out of the building- and he lost the car keys when he fell. can he get in there and find them before this guy kills weems??

scully’s little hands in the air motion when he tries to grab the door is so cute, BAHAHAAA

he buzzes for weems just as the gangster bursts into his room and shoots his lamp!

they get inside, somehow, to do a sweep…. and the gangster somehow hung himself on weems’ contraptions!

very lucky guy, indeed.

somehow, weems seems to have vanished. and, just as it seemed, the dead guy was an enforcer for the catronas! his name was angie the animal.

mulder does a little recreation of what he thinks went down, including a fun sound effect to go along with busting down the door- i love a guy who is a loser! scully is smiling at him while he walks through this, and then angie the animal falls from the ceiling. everything seems to react in weems’ favor.

scully sees the kid from before, richie!!! she introduces herself as dana, which, while very sweet, feels so strange to hear. and she asks if they can go back to his room, subtly getting the child away from viewing the dead gangster. that’s a responsible adult!

OH. she tucks richie into bed. probably waiting to tell his mother he just saw a dead body. and asks him about the sports posters all over his room. OH. SHE SAYS SHE LIKES BASEBALL. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD.

hey guys. i’m gonna have to do something drastic here.

she notices a contraption in his room that weems made for him, and it tosses a ball in a net. she smiles, thinking it is very cool. ohhh! he made it for richie when he was in the hospital!!! this poor kid’s liver doesn’t work. somehow, scully figured that out and i didn't, but then again, she's a doctor and i'm not. and he says that since he got sick, weems hardly ever leaves. HMMM… is he like an uncle or something? or perhaps the kid’s dad?

as scully asks why the world’s luckiest man would work as a building superintendent- why not go get a lottery ticket and be a millionaire- weems is hiding in the vents!

ohhh. weems is with richie. asking how he feels. aww, he tells him not to worry about the cops looking for him. but he says he has to go do something he’s been putting off.

scully is calling around, and she seems frustrated….. there are no records on this weems fellow! not even a driver’s license. but mulder finds a newspaper clipping… he survived a plane crash in 1989! where he was the only survivor! that’s how he lost his eye.

mulder thinks that maybe the crash altered all of his luck. she wants to know why he dropped off the face of the earth, and he wants to know why he has chose now to resurface. much to consider here.

weems heard scully’s suggestion to go get a lottery ticket. OH! he says he only needs 100 grand. OHHHH, he needs to get help for richie, huh????

he buys a ticket…. scratches it right next to someone….. and wins…. but the police are looking for him on the news, and he learns he will only get the money over many months!!! he says it’s too long. throws it away. and the other guy picks it up- but weems says to leave it in the trash, because something bad is going to happen.

AND THEN THE GUY WHO TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY GETS HIT BY A CGI BUS, BAHAHAHAHAAAA

i saw that coming, but the CGI caught me so off-guard that i had a hearty chuckle about the whole thing

scully asks the cashier some questions- and he claims that the guy hit by the truck wanted him to have the lottery ticket, haha.

LMAOOO, mulder ponders why weems would choose to now go get a lottery ticket. “actually, that’s exactly what you said, about an hour after you said it” (cutscene to mulder investigating the vents in the apartment building)

they divide and conquer to explore the apartment and its many vents- but another gangster guy approaches, looking for weems! he’s not in his apartment, so he crawls in the vent.

weems hears someone approaching- he’s carving a little wooden guy- but it’s just mulder here to find him. somehow, he hides. mulder finds him in the vent and pulls him out!! HAHAHA!! he grabs him to have a very serious talk- but the other gangster guy is here!

gangster guy shoots, but the bullet somehow bounces off and kills him!!!! because weems had his knife in his pocket!!

poor mulder got hit in the arm, though. it is NOT his lucky day at all.

mulder is getting his arm bandaged up in the hospital- he says it stings a little- and weems is here, too, when scully comes in with a deck of cards. he shuffles them…. which i liked watching. not sure exactly why. he tells weems to pick a card. and he picks a higher card than him both times!

mulder asks how it feels to be the luckiest man in the universe- and weems says it’s a nightmare. “something good happens to me, and everybody else has to take it in the keister” aww, poor guy :( and poor mulder actually DID have to take it there when he fell through the floorboards. not fair!

scully clocks that he needs the money for richie. he is on every donor list, but has a rare blood type. “and he’s cn- something” “cmv negative. cytomegalovirus” <- okayyyyy, medical doctor!!!

they need 100 grand to get him into an experimental program in england :(

scully says weems needs protection from cutrona and his men. then he draws a king- and says they need protection from him.

scully is mad at mulder!!! “i’m sorry, mulder. that was utterly irresponsible. you’re feeding the delusions of a man who has had three attempts made upon his life” <- (i'm nodding along) you tell him. i have to agree with scully here.

mulder says he would agree- but he doesn’t think weems is in any danger. in fact, he’s currently doing a better job dealing with cutrona and his men than the FBI seems to be.

but no!!!! there are men here to get him!! scully does not like how much faith mulder is putting in luck- he's betting a man’s life on it.

she picks a card and she beats his, which prompts mulder to say they have to go right now.

weems steps in front of a bus as mulder runs to get him!!! his eyeball is knocked out. mulder checks for his pulse, and looks up at scully. bro. did he not make it?

richie is playing with a toy. ohhhh shoot, he is super yellow. this is not good.

weems made it through the bus crashing somehow. and he’s agreed to testify against cutrona. cutrona is hearing this news. “who says we have to get to him?” ... now what do you mean by that?

richie is being taken to the hospital- he asks for the toy weems made him, and his mom stays behind to grab it. ah! the gangster guy is here looking for his mother! we hear a grunt!

the toy is on the floor…. will it hang this guy somehow???

weems is watching richie in the hospital, and mulder and scully are here to tell him they haven’t found the kid's mother- he thinks they took her to keep him from testifying. her name is maggie, btw. not sure if i knew that before.

mulder asks him if maybe his luck hasn’t changed. weems runs out. scully says the kid is not doing well. he needs a donor within a few hours.

mulder wants to find maggie. they've relied on luck so far for this case, so he opens a phone book and finds a random number- muhayamin daycare. then grayson’s linen services. they call the second one.

ahh! weems is brought to cutrona. he wants to tell him there is no hard feelings, he isn’t testifying against him- just let her go. he says he doesn’t care what happens to him. cutrona says he will.

they take him down in the basement of the linen place and tie him up!!! he’s on some sort of electrical wire!!! it is an elaborate trap that is hard to explain in words!!

and it zaps the other gangster guy instead!!! and then smacks cutrona in the head!!!

scully is waiting with richie as all of the city's electricity goes haywire- and the hospital lights spell richie’s name!

mulder is here to see the dead cutrona- who has the same blood type as richie!

awww, richie is able to get the transplant. and scully smiles at his little basketball toy.

the end.

well! this was a silly one.

i will say, i enjoyed it thoroughly. but after last episode, which was fairly lighthearted, and this one, which was very much so, i do fear what will happen in the next one. still, we can’t critique that yet if it hasn’t happened.

well, i guess it did happen 20-ish years ago. it is just new to me.

they’re so openly flirty with each other... it’s gonna make me sick, lmao.

scully taking richie back to his room :( scully making polite talk with him and saying that she likes baseball :( stoooop :( do you think her and mulder have gone to a game together yet? how do you think that went? do you think he was explaining everything the whole time and getting really excited and she was watching him nerd tf out and laughing?

as always, i request that someone drop the fic.

and then she was waiting with him in the hospital while he was hours away from dying :( oh, scully :( she makes my heart ache :( she's just so kind :(

GOD, and her reaction to mulder getting sprayed in the face by the pipe being to hide her smile so he wouldn't get upset... versus throwing herself at him when he fell through the floor because she was worried!! and then teasing him about getting new clothes... he was looking all embarrassed, trying to dry himself off..

AND how he snuck up behind her at the beginning and hung up the phone to yell "nice outfit". SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.

my initial thought upon seeing the last scene was: do you think that bracelet on cutrona meant he was an organ donor? or do you think they just stole his kidney. i mean, that is frowned upon, but... richie was dying, so. hmm!

maybe part of weems' luck is that cutrona just so happened to be an organ donor. maybe some gangsters have a little bit of a heart. but only when they're dead.

so, a good episode. i still have some questions about the overall plot, though, that came up in my head while i was editing my notes. we haven't seen spender or marita in a long while- are they really dead, or plotting a comeback of some sort? i feel like marita's character could have been used in so many other interesting ways. what was going on with her and krycek? is that over and done with now? was it a double crossing on both sides, or do you think either of them had feelings for each other?

are we still operating under the assumption that CSM was telling the truth when he claimed to be mulder's father? i don't buy it. but we haven't heard what mulder personally thinks, or his mother, who we left off last seeing in a strange place- on the hospital camera footage with CSM nearby- so i'd like to know if she is doing alright. we haven't heard any updates on the real or fake samanthas, either. i assume they're all fake and always will be to save time. and i guess that mulder had all the alien removed from him now, which is why he is better. but now CSM has the alien in him? even though i thought he already had the alien in him from when they thought they were going to be colonized a few weeks before? girl, idk.

in scully land, we also haven't heard from her family for a little bit- i'm curious about her brothers. i don't think we have seen anything from or about her younger brother at all, have we? i keep my eyes and ears open, but i don't recall anything. we only have seen bill who hates mulder, and we haven't seen him in a while, either. not that i'm complaining- he is a nasty guy- i'm just chomping at the bit for any and all family lore from our beloved characters. we haven't heard anything else about if her newer implant is continuing to make her want to drive strange places, either. i wonder if she will deal with that forever, or if the failed colonization attempt made that stop. and what are those alien rebels up to these days, anyway?

we also haven't heard much from skinner- you know, it's been a few years now, but we never heard if he actually went through with the divorce or not. but now he's got this remote control disease, so maybe reconciliation is not on his top list of priorities. he was staying alone in the episode where he got sick, so i kind of assume he isn't back together with his wife. i wish him well, for we all know that skinner is dear to me.

and i'm not expecting any of these questions i am raising to be answered, either- not necessarily now or ever, because i'm used to how this show works. just want to keep a bit of a list of what is going on.

well, i am expecting some angst in the next episode, which i am hoping will be well-written and not incredibly fucking disturbing like that one episode last season was (shivers at the mere thought). that one WAS well-written- at least partially- but it made me feel sick, so i couldn't take much enjoyment from it. i hope it is a scully-centric episode! a real meditation on her character!

#went on a bit of a mytharc rewind at the end and i know we will never get most of those answers. i just need to speak my truth.#this was a very cute episode on multiple levels and i cannot complain :)#i am actually really good at complaining... but even i found nothing to voice negatively here!#so yay!#7x06 #the x files #txf #juni's x files liveblog

Ode to Short Kings of Fiction + A List of My Favorites

I'm not going to lie… I'm a real sucker for a perfectly proportioned short man. In real life, I’ve never dated a guy taller than 5’9"—and at 5’2", that’s still plenty tall for me! They’re always tall to me, honestly. But when it comes to fictional characters, I constantly see them getting sized up or bumped to ridiculous heights like 6’2” or more. And you know what? Let these short kings live! Let them love! Let them stand proud in all their 5'7" (or less) glory.

They're confident, they're charming, and they’re fine as hell just the way they are. So here's an ode to the short kings of fiction: the ones who stand tall in spirit, no matter what their height says.

Here’s to you, love, to the boys who stand just close enough that when we kiss, our eyes lock like summer sunsets, lazy and burning all at once.

No need to tiptoe or lean down— we fit, just like this, perfectly aligned in a tangle of breath and skin, as if the world was made for us to collide. Your hands, wrapped around my waist, pull me in, and it's like the heat of July, slow and sticky, the kind of warmth that never lets go.

Your lips meet mine, no chase, just a seamless touch, like we've been doing this for a lifetime, like the air was always this sweet, ripe as stolen fruit.

And when we lie together, bodies pressed close, I swear we create a rhythm all our own, synchronized and soft, like the hum of crickets on a summer night.

They say there’s something in the way you hold me, how we fold into each other without effort, no stretch, no space left untouched. We’re the same height when we fall into bed, and when the morning light spills across our faces, I see it again, that fire in your gaze, level and burning, like we’re still chasing the sun.

Here’s to you, love, my short king— perfectly matched, perfectly mine, in this endless season of youth and heat.

My Favorite Fictional Short Kings:

Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII) – 5'7": A brooding short king, Cloud Strife wields his iconic Buster Sword with strength and grace, while grappling with his identity and emotional scars beneath his spiky blond hair.

Peter Parker (Spider-Man) – 5’7”-5’8”: A nerdy and lovable short king, Peter Parker embodies brains, humor, and a heroic heart, effortlessly transitioning between the awkward challenges of adolescence and the confident feats of Spider-Man.

Link (The Legend of Zelda) – 5’6”-5’7”: A quiet yet brave hero, Link’s piercing blue eyes and unwavering courage make him the ultimate mysterious heartthrob, symbolizing hope in every quest he undertakes.

Scott Pilgrim (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) – 5'6": Endearingly clueless yet determined, Scott Pilgrim is the lovable underdog who fights for love, blending genuine heart with an irresistible mix of awkwardness and sincerity.

Inigo Montoya (The Princess Bride) – 5'7": At 5'7", the charismatic Inigo Montoya wields his sword and thirst for revenge with flair, famously declaring, “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

Logan (Wolverine) – 5'3" (often portrayed as 5'6"-5'8"): A rugged and fierce short king, Wolverine’s fierce loyalty and intense personality make him an unforgettable character, regardless of his height.

Leon Kennedy – 5'9" (Original Height): Controversial, I know. But, in my heart, Leon’s a short king at 5'9", radiating charm and awkward sweetness as he balances heroics with vulnerability, proving that it’s not about height but heart.

My media this week (19-25 Jan 2025)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰 The Doorbell Rang (Nero Wolfe #41) (Rex Stout, author; Michael Prichard, narrator) - NW & co vs J. Edgar Hoover. Always makes me laugh.

😍 😍 The One Where They're Stars on HGTV (earlgreytea68) - 466K arthur/eames series - what it says on the tin: they're stars on HGTV but also so much more. I don't know how to express how marvelous this series is. The first fic (Fixer Upper) is 8K and is their getting together and could absolutely just stand alone. But then there's another 458K just showcasing their lives for the next 2 years, the shows they do, the entourage/found family they acquire (plus their original family) and it's all just SO FUCKING WELL written and delightful that you never once feel the weight of almost half a million words. Instead I couldn't wait to dive back in and spend more time with them. This is all I read with my eyeballs this week and I am so satisfied with that.

Round 1 - Resurrect Bracket (Losers Bracket) Side B

ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to [make it to the finals]

Propaganda below ⬇️

Kirei

View on Twitter

Priest claims to be Pro Life to make Sakura Matou the most miserable girl on the planet, but he dies anyway.

bro became a catholic because he loves suffering

He’s a priest. Kind of. Not a very good priest obviously. There is something seriously wrong and fucked up with that man. It’s so entertaining.

Will never forget the 40+ minute monologue in heavens feel being a thinly veiled metaphor for abortion

he wants to torment churchgoers and make them face their failures and suffering but all he ends up doing is motivate them to improve themselves. cringefail moment for him

Soap

Religious trauma coded. Popular hc that his family is Catholic.

He's gay and has a funny hair cut. Is that not enough to be Catholic?

he was such a bad bitch they had to kill him off in the third game bc he would've mopped the floor with the main antagonist otherwise. rip soap keep thotting it up in heaven we miss u every day

`!!!6ths -- propaganda by my kitten

Media Log 2024 End-of-Year Recap

Hey! After making so many entries this year, I wanted to go back through them and give some additional thoughts or edits to them. I also feel like stuff like this needs a capstone, y'know? Anyway, on with it!

Entry 1: Angel Hare: In the time between watching Angel Hare and now, I got a plush of Angel Zaggy! They also made a third season of Angel Hare, which I haven't watched - part of me wants to watch it specifically because I feel the second season wrapped it up well.

Entry 2: The Ray'z Series: I got really into shmups this year. Seriously, play some, they're great fun!

Entry 3: de Blob: It was really nice to replay this game and finish it after spending a lot of my childhood replaying the first level because the first level didn't have any enemies in it. Harder than I expected, to be honest.

Entry 4: Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night: Udonge udonge udonge udonge. Mariali supremacy. Touhou good.

Entry 5: Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith: Still not huge on using a level of shot power to bomb. Kappa's Pororoco is my least favorite spell card. I play Reimu C!

Entry 6: Bang Brave Bang Bravern: It is still insane how gay this was, and it was very funny how this made it parallel G-Witch from last year. I miss Bravern Thursdays.

Entry 7: Isle of Dogs: Stop motion is such a beautiful method of animation. Just... wow, man.

Entry 1X: Games I Gave Up On: I think next year I want to do more of entries like these, about things I chose not to finish or didn't finish by the end of the year. Eschatos would be on the docket for this year. I fucking hate Biomutant so much.

Entry 8: Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers: I need to get back to this game. I loved doing time trials in it. Shoutout to Joypolis.

Entry 9: Neon Genesis Evangelion: I kind of can;t believe it really is as good as everyone says. Kawoshin has been the template for all this time.

Entry 10: The End of Evangelion: I don't have much else to say. I like the mass-production Evangelion units a lot, they have a very neat design.

Entry 11: Evangelion 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone: It's so weird that this covers like, six episodes total. Asuka isn't even in this, but Mari is.

Entry 12: The rest of the Evangelion Rebuild movies: My opinions of these movies soured in real time. I think 3.0+1.0 is probably the thing I disliked the most out of everything this year I finished. Don't wait up for the essay.

Entry 13: Poképark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure: It's hard to overstate just how cute I think this game is. It felt so nice to go back to. I started the sequel, but didn't finish it this year.

Entry 14: Portal 2: Shorter than I thought I would be, but still fantastic. I need to play the co-op campaign now...

Entry 15: Deadpool vs. Wolverine: Just... really disappointing. Such a nothingburger of an emotional core.

Entry 16: Gundam Breaker 4: I was so hyped for this game I remember where I was when it was announced - I was at my community college, waiting for a class to begin. It was so worth it.

Entry 2X: Minecraft but I survive in PARKOUR CIVILIZATION [FULL MOVIE]: Mass psychosis event. If you told me this didn't actually happen, I might believe you. What the hell happened?

Entry 17: Mobile Suit Gundam: Still kind of stunned at how... normal this anime was. I was sort of expecting it to be life-changing because of its legacy. Guess not.

Entry 18: ATLYSS: This game is seemingly getting some new content soon, excited for that. Some of my non-furry friends also love this game. It's that good.

Entry 3X: Gundam Breaker 4's DLC: Mid. Like, really aggressively mid, and so few missions too!

Entry 19: Settlemoon: I completed this game back in July, but I started an NG+ run and doing a media log entry slipped my mind. Here's my town right now:

Entry 20: The Emperor's New Groove: Shoutout to this movie's singular musical number. Very funny thing to open a non-musical with.

Entry 21: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (movie): I watched this movie in theaters with a few friends with Spanish subtitles. We all bought tickets for the wrong day, but the incredibly nice person behind the ticket counter gave us vouchers for free seats to any one movie... and they had a showing that night with Spanish subtitles.

What a year! Overall, my highlights of this year were probably ATLYSS, Evangelion, and Gundam Breaker 4. I also technically have, like, eight or nine written works I could include on here but didn't because they were assigned by classwork. Read Giovanni's Room. Get sad.

Of course, the media log will return in 2025... stay tuned!
