Episode 127

Honorable mentions:

So is pink haired girl Abby? I must knoww

Even if she’s not, she’s gotta be the cutest character yet

Is Illena pronounced eye-lena or ill-lena

While writing this and doing the necessary research, I realized that in my analysis of episode 125, I had some incorrect info. It doesn’t affect the theory at all, but when I said that Arlo made Isen head of the newspaper in episode 110, it was actually 109.

Im dying at the fact that the whole school left Isen bleeding on the ground because they were so s h o o k by John’s powers

Meili is so strong wth, she just picked up Isen

Arlo progressively gets more and more guyliner throughout this episode

Arlo is mad that John is a nuisance after refusing to help him… -_-

The pictures of Illena, Krolik, Wenqi, and Hower… who the heck takes school pictures like that. Smh haha

First up: CECILE

    Cecile basically said she was going to team up with John in this episode. I’m really excited about this because I predicted this last week ;). Also because that is SO COOL. I’m imagining Cecile and John working together and oh my god they would be the BEST DUO. I can really see them working together though. Cecile understands why John acted up. He did it because Seraphina went missing. She gets his motives and still wants to help him. Nobody has done that yet, granted most people who know about John’s powers have gotten beaten up or threatened. Cecile’s mindset works like John’s does. They believe only people who are worthy should be in charge. Cecile said (about Arlo), “He keeps preaching about order while sitting on a throne he doesn’t deserve.” John and Cecile really have complementary morals.

    The main difference between the two is that John doesn’t want to be a royal, which is understandable as he doesn’t deem himself worthy after what went down when he was king. Cecile wants the throne, she feels cheated out of hers. This doesn’t drive them apart, this is actually a perfect solution. When they defeat Arlo, Cecile can become queen and basically act as unofficial king, whilst John, the king, just does what he wants. Cecile gets to be in charge and John gets someone he likes in control of the school. Of course it would work better if Cecile could just be king and John is nothing, but due to uru-chan’s desire to make fun of anime tropes, only a male can be the main leader.  So otherwise, great solution.

    So basically, I’m all for a John/Cecile team-up

Next up: Why did Abby speak up?

    Before I get into this, I want to be clear. When I refer to ‘Abby,’ I mean the pink-haired girl with pigtails. I’m too lazy to explain if you don’t know :/

    Elaine is asking around about Seraphina, right. So she asks this group of probably low-tiers and all of them say that they haven’t seen her. They probably lying, but that’s not my point. Right after this, Abby approaches Elaine and says that she saw Seraphina yesterday. She gives Elaine some helpful info and later, figures out who the four students that took Seraphina were. She’s helpful and informative, which is actually very strange. Here’s why:

    Abby is a low-tier. Along with her peers, she was treated close to trash by anybody higher up. She was mocked and made inferior. Also, if she’s a low-tier, there’s a good chance that she knows what’s going on in the abandoned house. I would say most low-tiers were present, even more know about it. Giving up Illena and friends’ identities is betrayal. So why does she want to help Elaine and Arlo? I have three reasons.

    The first one is that I think Abby feels indebted to Seraphina somehow. Sera was helping her when she got into that fight. Abby told Elaine of this. Later when Abby is talking about her experiences as a low-tier, she makes the point that most high-tiers don’t pay attention to what happens to lower ranks. Seraphina was probably the first high-tier to help Abby out (even though she’s technically a cripple now). Abby seems to treat Arlo and Elaine with awe and blind obedience, probably out of fear. Due to this, I think that she would feel, more than any other low-tier, obligated to helping Seraphina. She could possibly be worried that if she didn’t Seraphina would smite her or something, but yeah that’s possible reason 1.

    My second reason is that Abby really hates Illena and company. This reason probably has the most support. In this episode, Abby is real clear about how the stronger mid-tiers mistreat the low-tiers. She says they gang up on weak kids and make others do their assignments for them. She also says that anyone that complains is basically punished. So basically how the high-tiers treat the low-tiers but the effort it doubled and it’s intentional. Abby could see this as an opportunity, a way to escape the abuse of the mid-tiers. If she tells Arlo and Elaine, she could sick them on Illena, Krolik, Wenqi, Hower, and everybody else. Nobody would know that she was the one who snitched and she would be free. Probably why she looked so nervous in that panel of Arlo confronting Hower, she didn’t want Hower knowing about her helping Arlo. So yeah, that’s about it for reason two.

    I would like to apologize in advance; this theory is completely reliant that the pigtailed girl is Abby, a reporter that has been mentioned only in name. She was the reporter that wrote the article about seraphina returning from suspension. So yeah… ;-; (I know I said I wouldn’t explain, but I feel I owe you some explanation).

My FAVORITE REASON (and probably most unlikely): reason 3. Abby actually isn’t aware of all that is happening to Seraphina. This sounds simple enough, but the reason for my reason is the real reason (I lost brain cells writing that).

    So Abby is a reporter. She writes articles for the school newspaper and stuff like that. Because she’s written about Seraphina drama in the past, there’s a chance that she could do it again. The low and mid-tiers probably know this, hence the exclusion.

(before writing this, I was certain I would rant about this for like a page, but honestly, that’s all I have to say)

Moving onwards

Isen

    I decided to make this a whole section even though there’s not much. I feel that the honorable mentions don’t get read all the way through.

    WHEN MEILI FOUND ISEN HER FIRST WORDS WERE, “ISEN, HEY WAKE UP. WE STILL NEED YOU.” sksksksksksskskskksksk

    She has no regard for Isen’s actually wellbeing haha. Even when she carries him, she is like so nonchalant. She even has her phone out.

NBA Scores 2018: Happy MLK Day and 16 other things from Monday in the NBA

Russell Westbrook didn’t have a great Monday and more

Every year on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, the NBA puts together a showcase of matinee games and marquee matchups to bring us all together to watch this sport we know and love. It’s an awesome thing and a great moment to share with our loved ones.

But what this day truly represents cannot be lost on us. Today is the celebration of King’s birthday 50 years after he was killed. He was a true freedom fighter who stood up against racial inequality, poverty, hunger and injustice across America — issues we still struggle with today.

It’s important that we recognize that. People across the NBA did, including Gregg Popovich.

Popovich on playing on MLK Day: "If someone says that they're not a racist, you know that they are." http://pic.twitter.com/0s3uyW0Pzq

— KL Chouinard (@KLChouinard) January 15, 2018

His persistence, as I look back, at unbelievably young age, when he started peaceful protests, it wasn’t just for the black population. He understood that racism was our national sin, and if we didn’t come together, it would bring everybody down — including white people. And that promise that he basically demanded everyone fulfill from way back when is what put us on the road to making American great.

And LeBron James.

LeBron on MLK’s legacy: http://pic.twitter.com/CnJvyCSe6B

— Michael Singer (@msinger) January 15, 2018

He had a vision and he took a bullet for all of us, literally. For us to stand here even though we’re trying to be divided right now by somebody, today is a great day for people to realize America was built and how we have to stand united.

And Russell Westbrook.

— Russell Westbrook (@russwest44) January 15, 2018

Basketball is fun, but it’s great to see our favorite athletes and coaches put things into perspective. A little bit of that perspective goes a long way in causing change and we need plenty of it today.

Now, let’s talk some hoops.

The Rockets tried to fight the Clippers after the game

I present to you two pieces of evidence:

A)

And B)

Houston Rockets’ players James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green pushed into Clippers locker room post-game looking to confront Austin Rivers, league sources tell ESPN. Security escorted Rockets out before anything turned physical.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) January 16, 2018

Yeah, you can read our entire round-up of that post-game altercation here.

The Cavaliers lost, but LeBron was still incredible

Are we sure this dude isn’t a cyborg? You shouldn’t be able to make the plays he does at 33 years old. He’s out here pinning Stephen Curry’s floaters off the backboard.

HOW CAN HE STILL JUMP THAT HIGH. LOOK AT THAT.

Just totally unnecessary and disrespectful. The Cavs might have lost, but LeBron won.

Stephen Curry also had with his first dunk in fifty-leven years

I can’t believe he did this.

He called it a “unicorn sighting.” LOL.

Steph Curry on his two-hand dunk: "Unicorn sighting" ... ... ... "This is like 7 dunk questions. That's crazy." http://pic.twitter.com/bDWbkqs8Nk

Look, before you say anything else, I know that’s the rim grazing dunk package off of 2k. Curry ain’t gonna get up there in some crazy way — that’s not his game. I’m just impressed that he even attempted this.

Let’s chill on this though, Steph? Gotta keep those ankles fresh.

Chris Paul returned to the Staples Center to play the Clippers for the first time this year

And they gave him a great tribute.

Thank you, @CP3. #MLKDay http://pic.twitter.com/3hOnuwKsrC

We often talk about how the Clippers fell short in their run with Paul, but he accomplished a ton while he was there. He’s unquestionably one of the best Clippers of all time after his six season stint there and was more than deserving of this tribute. Good on the Clippers for doing it.

Russell Westbrook got ejected but, honestly, he wasn’t wrong

Westbrook was on his way to the rim when he got hit in the eye. Instead of going to the line, he was called for a travel and then he went off.

Westbrook wasn’t wrong about the call he should’ve gotten, but he also didn’t have to get in the ref’s face like that. Because he did, he got double technicals and was ejected from the game.

Tensions between players and officials aren’t going anywhere anytime soon

First James, then Anthony Davis, then Kevin Durant, then Carmelo Anthony and now Russell Westbrook. There’s something brewing here and it’s not good for the game. Anthony commented on the no-call and was fed up after the game.

Carmelo Anthony, being asked about what he said last week about communication with referees, cut off the question: "I'm done with them. I'm done with the refs. No disrespect, but I'm done with those guys."

I’ve never seen anything like this before, but hopefully cooler heads can prevail at some point this season. This tension makes the game less fun.

Speaking of cooler heads, why are the showers cold in the Q?!?

Cold showers are the worst! The Warriors had to take some after they beat the Cavaliers because, apparently, there’s no hot water in Quicken Loans Arena.

No hot water in the Cleveland visiting locker room. You can hear the players shrieking as they enter the cold showers.

The Warriors are better than me. If the shower is cold, I’m just going to stink. Whoever is around me just has to deal with it. Sorry.

Wesley Johnson still has hops

We just had to show y’all this block. It’s important.

That’s on Clint Capela, too! Get that weak sauce out of here, fam. Shoutout to Wes Johnson — he’s still got it.

The Cavs are Cavs-ing again, this time with Ty Lue instead of David Blatt

Gregg Popovich reflected on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and he was amazing, as always.

So was LeBron James, of course.

Speaking of MLK day, the Grizzlies wore these incredible jerseys to honor the great doctor.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: Multi-sport athlete, apparently.

Chris Paul was back in L.A. and it was so bittersweet just like we thought it’d be.

Today wasn’t all great, though. We hope Tyler Johnson is Ok. Injuries stink.

Plus, Kyle Lowry and Ben Simmons got into it — smh.
