#Roch: there’s no subs

[saltyfilmmajor]

Assumption: you first got into detective conan as a tween

False: this is a very recent development 😭 when I went to Kyoto back in March I was held hostage (affectionately) by my partner and forced to watch The Bride of Halloween and Then we watched The Crimson Love Letter and I simply caught the heiji hattori bug

@fromthe7thsidelines sent

“Use your words~ What do you want from me?” - for Cloud, from Roche[of the 'nsfw things to say to sub muses', tho feel free to interpret it in a non-nsfw way if you'd prefer!]

Smug bastard, Cloud thinks, as his breath hitches in his throat at Roche's teasing. Telling him to tell him exactly what he wants from him and fuck - Cloud wants so much. So many things that he never thought possible, especially not with someone like Roche.

Someone who should be the enemy. Or at least, was the enemy last time they interacted.

Is she really about to sleep with the enemy? She almost laughs at the sheer ridiculousness of it, Roche has her exactly where he wants her, and Cloud is like putty in his hands. Unable to resist and why would she want to? Unlike all the other SOLDIER bastards, this is a game to Roche, this isn't about killing Cloud but rather a performance and entertainment.

Maybe they should be offended by that, they aren't some toy, but with this burning desire, Cloud can not be bothered to care.

Cheeks burn hot, a lovely shade of pink tainting skin. He doesn't know why he's been rendered into silence, he's usually got no problem mouthing off or being blunt but Roche makes him nerves.

Lip-gloss covered lips part in a shaky breath as her head tilts and mako-infused eyes lock onto Roche's gaze finally. "You. I want you." Is that good enough? It's probably not specific enough but she'll try this first instead of being made to say something entirely embarrassing.

[limerental]

for those concerned, yes I am aware that marina's latest copy-pasted find and replace plagiarism special that she leaves in people's ask boxes with no context is an excerpt of my fic with Roche's name subbed in. if you get a message like that, it's best to just delete it. Nothing to be done!

[eldritch-spouse]

Please tell me Roch is vanilla because I love the idea of his obsession introducing him to the freakiest, craziest kinks (I say that but I just mean like, basic BDSM and probably dom/sub dynamics, LMAO)

It's Zizz all over again........

- Kink blog

- Vanilla character

Come on now, you know better.

You're in HELL, on top of that. There's very few chances you'll find vanilla people running around.

Every sloth demon is into some form of somnophilia, so let's just knock that one out of the park instantly.

Other than that, Roch has a big thing for erotic asphyxiation and sensory deprivation of all kinds. These go both ways, he'll let you make him pass out and you have consent to use his body in that state.

Playing with a new art program (realistic paint studio) that I wanted cause @rad-roche makes some amazing stuff with it.

I did a lil play with a ruined church cause I kinda hate how I draw faces rn.

Tbh, kinda love how the colors mix (It's much closer to my beloved watercolors). It'd be real nice for skin tones. I can already see how i'd do sub-surface scattering. I need to practice anatomy again... but for now, I'm tired.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY INDIE CHRISTMAS (VOLUMES 1-4) COMES TO A CLOSE BY BEING NAMED 'THE GREATEST INDIE XMAS ALBUM EVER' (JOHN KENNEDY - RADIO X).

So there we have it. Three years plus of joyous hard work, curating 208 of the finest original indie Christmas songs in order to raise funds for Crisis at Christmas. The money raised by Have Yourself A Merry Indie Christmas (HYAMIC) will be officially confirmed as soon as the holiday is over (comfortably between £11 and 12,000). I'd like to say a big thank you to the various Crisis case officers who have assisted me, presently Ali Discombe. All have been kind and understanding of my circumstances.

As a music writer, and as somebody who likes to talk about great pop music almost as much as I like listening to great pop music, curating the album has been thrill-a-minute stuff. I still can't quite believe that some of my all-time favourite artists appear on the albums, including The Wedding Present, The Lucksmiths, Suzzy Roche, The Pearlfishers, Pete Astor, Tot Taylor, BOB and Armstrong. Equally, I was thrilled to discover scores of new bands that now rank alongside those favs mentioned above. I could list a 100 here, but will settle for - Sunturns (I played 'III' on Boxing Day morning and it blew me away!), Alpine Subs, Les Bicyclettes de Belsize, St Lenox, Hanemoon, Charlie's Hand Movements and Pale Sunday. There are songs on the HYAMIC albums that I would now rank in my top 20 Xmas songs of all-time - I absolutely fell in love with 'A Pretty Good Christmas' on first listen' (The Disappointment Choir Tr4 Volume 1).

I want to thank all the writers/broadcasters/podcast hosts/presenters/label bosses that got right behind the project, including some names of true international renown. Take a bow -

John Harris, Pete Paphides, John Kennedy, Adrian Goldberg, Gareth Jones, Andy Von Pip, Huw Stephens, Adam Walton, Ken Kessler, DJ Indi, DJ Oscar, Mickey Bradley, Bill Cummings, Alice Peter-Burns, Dr Art Jipson, Matt (Sarah), Tom (Fika Recording), Sandra Zettpunkt, Kat E, Josh Meadows, Tony Hardy, Gideon Coe, Vic Galloway, Geraint Evans, Gary Raymond, Alex Rawls, Francis (New Sound Wales) Wayne (Sunshine music I Radio) and Darrin (subjangle). A special mention for Jim of Christmas Underground, a trailblazer who made an album of this type possible. I spent many, many happy hours reading his always illuminating thoughts on some of the extraordinary songs that he was uncovering. Huge apologies to those that I have no doubt missed off the list somewhere along the way.

Thanks to Karen, Jenny & Becky for all their love and understanding throughout the HYAMIC years!!!

The albums remain on sale here - https://v4velindre.bandcamp.com/music

Look out for the final figure raised on New Years Eve.

Episode Six - Family Picnic

A series dissection of Digimon Adventure 02, a nerd talk for nerds.

SPOLER ALERT FOR DIGIMON ADVENTURE 02 EPISODE SIX

Part Two

Part Three

Part Four

Part Five

This is part six of the episode title dissection of Digimon Adventure 02. if you want to see part one click here. Part one has the rules and tells you about what this series is and what its doing. So read part one if you want to know but lets get right into this.

English Dub - Family Picnic

Sub - Dangerous Picnic

Now, I think both of these make pretty good tiles, but which one if better?

In episode six the new Chosen Children decide that they should have a brake. They've fought every time they've been in the Digital World so why not have a picnic.

So they all sneak into the school on a weekend to head to the Digital World. When they get jump scared by Mimi, who returned to Japan for a day.

She decided that she would also like to go on the picnic with the other kids. All is going well until Mimi and Miyako fall into a hidden world with a dark tower.

Mimi meets Palmon again, they see some old friends, and with the help from some Roches they mange to destroy the tower and free the captive digimon.

Now, this is why I think both titles work so well. They keep the picnic part of the title, because that is what happens and it's what causes everything else.

It's the front part that's different. But both work for the episode. Family Picnic just sounds more fun, more chill. It makes me feel nice, I like the idea of the Chosen Children being one big family. (daisuke says those works in the English dud exactly).

They are one family having a picnic on a week end. Yet the sub title is a little worse. While Mimi and Miyako do get into danger in the episode, its not the picnics fault.

Armadillomon throws and sushi roll and Hawkmon goes running after it. Then Miyako goes running after Hawkmon and Mimi goes looking for them.

That's how they all fell into the hidden world with the dark tower. While this sounds a little petty to me, it's technically Armadillomon's fault that the three ended up there.

If Armadillomon didn't throw the sushi then they wouldn't have gotten into danger, it wouldn't have been dangerous. But you could argue that if they hadn't gone on the picnic at all they would be fine.

So my opionon is that the dub if better, Family Picnic.

But while one do you like better.

Transformers Spotlight #1: Shockwave

Read Date: July 15, 2023 Cover Date: September 2006 ● Writer: Simon Furman ● Art: Nick Roche ● Colorist: Josh Burcham ● Letterer: {uncredited} ● Editor: Dan Taylor ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● if Shockwave had Soundwave’s g-1 voice, he would be the most terrifying Decepticon by far to me ● it was initially cute that the mammoths are following Shockwave around, but their plight is sad

● 👏👏👏

Synopsis: Six hundred thousand years ago, the Great War on Cybertron rages between the Autobots and Decepticons — a state of affairs that Shockwave can no longer abide. Having extrapolated from the data that constant fighting between the two factions will cause an energon shortage and eventually leave Cybertron a dead, energy-drained planet, Shockwave initiates a new plan: a project that he dubs "Regenesis." Raw energon is distilled into special warheads and fired at suitable planets — one of which is prehistoric Earth.

Never telling Megatron about his plans, Shockwave bides his time for many years until his samples bear fruit. Arriving on Earth as the very end of the last Ice Age, Shockwave begins the next component of his plan: regulating the planet's wild energon reactions. Shockwave knows that his fellow Decepticons will brand him as a traitor for his unauthorized experiments, but no longer cares; ultimately, logic is his only master.

Unbeknownst to the Decepticon, the Dynobots have tracked him to the planet aboard their vessel, the Skyfire. Having once lost face to Shockwave after he foiled a vital energon-gathering mission, all five Transformers are hungry for revenge. Team leader Grimlock is eager to land and mete out some vengeance on their enemy, but Slag advises caution: the unchecked energon radiation on Earth's surface is causing energy fluctuations dangerous to unshielded Transformers, and while Shockwave is safely insulated against its effects, the five Dynobots possess no such protection.

As Shockwave plants a series of special energon dampers to rein in the energon storms, he observes a herd of dying mammoths, and further mulls on his plans: as cold-climate organisms fail to adapt to changing climates, so too must the Cybertronian race continue to evolve, a process that will only succeed if Shockwave is allowed control of the balance of power…

Aboard the Skyfire, Slag has come up with a novel solution to their dilemma: by using the on-board CR chambers, they will be able to adopt beast modes based on the native creatures, protected from the energon radiation thanks to artificially synthesized flesh. A hesitant Grimlock agrees to go ahead with the plan… but only if Slag can find him better organisms to scan than the "pathetic" mammals who roam the Earth. It doesn't take long before Slag discovers creatures more to their leader's liking: the fossilized remains of ancient dinosaurs.

Having finished his business on Earth, Shockwave prepares to summon his ship and leave… but is momentarily confused when his ship fails to arrive. His concerns are well-founded when, seconds later, the five Dynobots, now clad in new, saurian alternate modes, arrive via orbital bounce and lay into the Decepticon scientist. A creature of logic and rationality, Shockwave is unable to comprehend the savage, chaotic behavior of his foes before having an epiphany: their mission is one of pointless revenge for his actions.

As he is consumed by another barrage of enemy firepower, Shockwave realizes that his core logic will not be of any use in the fight against his irrational foes and retaliates as only he can: by simply shutting down his higher functions, allowing a synthetic form of rage to take over. In this primal sub-routine, he brutally retaliates against the Dynobots, quickly stripping them of their protective synthetic flesh and thus forcing them into stasis lock. The battle seemingly won, Shockwave returns his neural cortex to normal operations and, with his ship disabled by the Dynobots, prepares to steal the Skyfire to escape Earth. Before he can do so, however, he discovers that Grimlock will get the last laugh after all: the Dynobot ship acts on a command pre-programmed by Grimlock and uses its onboard weaponry to open fire on a nearby volcano. The mighty blast provokes a volcanic eruption, and all six combatants are swiftly entombed in a pit of molten lava.

Elsewhere, Shockwave's absence hasn't gone unnoticed. A suspicious Megatron, wanting to learn more about Shockwave's pet projects, assigns the loyal Bludgeon to investigate the errant Decepticon's findings.

And, many thousands of years later, in the year 2006, a team of archaeologists digging in Eureka, Nevada, unearth a massive, metal, purple hand…
