[kagooleo]

finally got my fluffyrice keychain tests in! these guys turned out much bigger than I anticipated (and after noticing a very specific error on one of these 😅) but they honestly turned out pretty nice!

[wreckedhoney]

MASSIVE SPOILER for one of the endings.

it's been a while since i tried looking, but i did hear that something like this happens last year and over time started to think, "was it a fluke?" bc no one posted footage or caps of it then, and i aimed for a completionist run in my first playthrough. turns out it's real! and definitely shines a new light on a character that, for most other types of playthroughs, will not give this much emotion! EDIT: transcript now included, and some stillshots under the cut

[0:28] Marie: Henry, this is the man who kept you from doing the right thing tonight. Kill him. [0:15] Forrest: Henry, you don’t have to do this. If you’ve not killed anyone yet, there’s still time to make the right decision. [0:05] Out of shot: (Gunshots) Henderson Police! Freeze! Marie: No! Henry, get out of there!

[grantmentis]

IMO my pwhl free agent ranking of who’s still available

Please note I’m only doing players who were under contact last year and not undrafted free agents

Tier One: their phone should be buzzing

Daryl watts, Michela Cava, Hannah Miller, Kateřina Mrázová,

All these players were highly productive on their teams last season and are immediate impact players

Tier two: maybe not the first call, but should be highly sought after

Kaleigh Fratkin, Rebecca Leslie, Lauriane Rougeau, Gabrielle David, Claire Dalton, Abbey Levy, Sandra Abstreiter

These are proven players who had decent years, but may be called after tier one players and some draft picks get settled in to see where they fit in the roster .

Tier 3: building out your roster

Emma woods, Emma Greco, Lexie Adzija, Gigi Marvin, Amanda Pelkey, Sarah Bujold, Liz Schepers, Melissa Channell, Paetyn Levis, Kayla Vespa,

Fits into two groups; those who are Swiss army type middle six / pairing players who can play up and down the lineup. players who will still be third/fourth liners of depth defenders but were extremely effective in that spot, bumping them up a tier.

Tier Four: quality depth players

Madison Packer, Alexandra Labelle, Olivia Knowles, Carly Jackson, Sarah Lefort, Leah Lum, Jillian Dempsey, Madison Bizal, Catherine Dubois, Taylor Wenczkowski, Kelly babstock, Cami Kronish, Claire Butorac, Amanda Leveille, Lauren Bench, Shiann Darkangelo, Rachel McQuigge, Johanna Fällman, Lindsey post

Third/ fourth liners and third pair defender and goalies. Some of these players have a specific niche they fill, a lot are veterans, thus making me think they’ll get some early training camp invites. Unfortunately with a tight cap and limited spaces, it’s possible not all will be signed, but all will be considered

Tier four: reserves

Sam Cogan, Jess jones, Maude Poulin-Labelle, Jessica Kondas, Emma Keenan, Alexa Vasko, Kaitlin Willoughby, Liliane Perreault, Alexandra Poznikoff, Catherine Daoust, Madison Bizal, Brigitte Laganière, Nicole Kosta, Abby Cook, Brooke Bryant, Clair DeGeorge, Dominique Kremer, Nikki Nightengale, Akane Shiga, Rosalie Demers, Sammy Davis, Sam Isbell, Malia Schneider, Emma Buckles, Lauren MacInnis, Carley Olivier, Olivia Zafuto, Alexa Gruschow, Taylor Baker,

A lot of these players here either played little last year or were already reserves, or are playing a position/niche that is overcrowded. Many of these players are talented and could def earn a spot for a team that they gel right with, but likely wouldn’t be until after training camp. This tier is pretty close to tier three and probs a lot of overlap depending on a coaches evaluation of how players fit in their system

Tier ?: the unknown

Sydney Brodt, Mikyla Grant Mentis, Audrey-Anne Veillette, Ann-Sophie Bettez, Caitrin Lonergan, Fanni Garát-Gasparics, Kristin Della Rovere

These players did not play a lot last year due to various circumstances but were pretty impactful / took on high end roles when they did. Because of that, they separate themselves from other players who saw limited minutes and may be ore sought after. The exception is Veillette, who straight up DNP due to injury, but was thought pretty highly of when drafted. Bettez is also a weird one here because though she missed a lot this year, everyone knows what she’s capable of, but I don’t think she’d be willing to leave Montreal

Why I Am Not Coming In To Work Today [abridged], Jess Zimmerman

part one | part two

[fullscoreshenanigans]

When and how did you get into TPN? For me I discovered TPN in 2021 through the Fandom page where I spoiled myself about Conny and some other stuff which I forgot and in 2023 I purchased the first two volumes of the manga and I fell in love. And the rest is ancient history!

Sorry about my little history lesson!

You're good! (If anyone else wants to share how they got into the series on this post I'd been down for that too)

My sister and a friend recommended the anime to me at some point (I want to say after it was on US Netflix) as something I might like. I did not pay any attention to this at all lol. They did lord this over me when it became one of my favorite series. But I managed to avoid all spoilers for it other than the orphanage being a farm, which wasn't a big deal to me since it happens so early on.

Fast forward to March 2021, within the ballpark of a day or two of the season 2 finale airing in Japan. I finished watching another series on Netflix, and it recommended TPN to me. I thought, I vaguely recognize this title, the description sounds interesting, and the thumbnail looks cute, so why not check out the first episode.

(dmotta3's blind reaction lives rent free in my head and inspired this post)

I got to the end of episode 6 and realized that my idea to just check out one episode at 1am was terrible because it was now 4am. But I had the day off from work, so after going to bed and doing everything else I needed to do that day I wrapped up the rest of season 1 because was hooked. I had to know what the fuck is up with these little babies with the mental fortitude and emotional maturity to handle this fantastical dystopia they found themselves in so well. And the final six episodes delivered and then some for me.

Me within watching the first ten minutes of S1e01: oh this kid with the black emo hair is going to be my favorite :)

Me upon watching S1e11: LKJFSDLKFLKDFJL OMFG?? OM?FG?? 🥴🙃🥴 THERAPY! THERAPY FOR A THOUSAND YEARS FOR YOU!!!

I noticed the second season wasn't on Netflix, so while avoiding as many spoilers as I could I took a peek around and discovered that a lot of people were unhappy with season 2. I asked some friends who had watched it if they liked it, and they said it was all right, but not as good as season 1. So what I ended up doing was figuring out where the first season left off in the manga, and then read a few chapters before watching the corresponding parts in the anime to see where it really diverged. By the time I got to the bunker in the anime and saw there was no dad to go in it, I dropped it entirely to focus on reading the manga. It took roughly four days from me putting on the anime on a whim to me reading the bonus chapters and epilogue, and I was initially kind of bummed about it for reasons I've discussed here.

(Chart I made to explain to a friend group my personal enjoyment of the series by arc because it's one of the silly things we do with each other, while avoiding some spoilers by removing the names of the last few arcs. I'd rank Cuvitidala and the human world arc a bit higher now and Return to Grace Field arc lower, but the rest is still largely the same.)

But even with my gripes with the series, it had nestled itself inside my heart and mind, and I was endeared to it enough to buy the blu-ray of season 1 and import the soundtrack.

Another crucial aspect for me was that @1000sunnygo was translating the mystic code book around this time as well as a plethora of other content that wasn't receiving official English releases. This kept me engaged with this silly little shounen that had endeared me so deeply, as I had new official content and information to look forward to every now and then in addition to latching on to some fanfics that proved to be foundational for my personal interpretation/enjoyment of the series. It also helped explain some of the issues I had with it, one of them being the pacing toward the end due to Shirai trying to salvage his health after being in serialized publishing for almost four years while still maintaining his sense of artistic integrity by ending the series on his own terms. I don't think this frees said choices from critique, but it helped me personally accept them more.

And then after almost ten months after first watching season 1 on a whim, I made this blog, though I didn't really start using it until February 2022. It was a first for me since I usually just keep everything on main in a random hodgepodge, but the brainrot wasn't going away, and I couldn't put my mutuals through another major interest, so here we are roughly 2.5 years later.

[tangledstarlight]

people who leave kudos on ao3 sparingly are an enigma to me. i leave kudos on every fic i finish. i'll make my way through 20+ of someones fics for one fandom and hit that little heart button on every single one. i want them to wake up to that ao3 email with my ao3 name 20+ times on every fic they've written idc

bitter coffee forrr …. Viv and Rory 😇😇😇

Bitter Coffee AU

☆☆☆

Viv scrubs her hands down her face in an attempt to shoo off the sleep still lingering around. She finds an empty table near the back of the mess and hunkers down to wait for the rest of her girls to catch up.

She sips her coffee, black but for a touch of sugar, the bitterness smoothing over her tongue amplifying tenfold as she looks up to see Captain Rodriguez heading towards her table. She reigns in her scowl at the smug little smirk that graces the other pilot's face, and what it tells her about where this interaction is headed.

It's not that she thinks Rodriguez's crew didn't deserve the lead position on their last mission, but it still raises her hackles that they were chosen first over her own crew.

Rodriguez sits without asking, setting down her own cup, which looks like it might be more cream than coffee. "You look tired, Savorre."

"Six in the morning. Everyone's tired, Rodriguez." Rory nods, acquiesing the point.

"Mm. So it's somethin' else that's got you sour so early."

Savorre does not outwardly bristle, but it's a close thing. Somehow Rodriguez has never been spun by her charm, never fallen for her acts. It irks her.

Rory cocks her head, a performative display, and Viv's guts churn as she sees herself in the motion. "Bet I know what it is," Rory says.

They've been pacing around each other since stateside training, opponents in a ring waiting to see who will make the first move. Both aware of the tension between them, left unaddressed for the sake of civility. Viv always had a hunch that Rory would be the first to break, but she'd thought it'd be because she was the one winning. (Rory had always thought so, too.)

Rory smiles, knowing she's gotten under Viv's skin already. "You know what I think?" She says, slowly stirring the spoon in her mug.

Savorre holds for a beat, weighing Rory up in her mind. She gestures lazily, faux-boredom lacing her tone, "Indulge me."

Rory's lips quirk minutely at the bid for control. "I think," she says, voice low as if she's confessing a secret, "I think it bothers you that Suzy got to fly lead first."

Savorre's nails tap the side of her mug, belaying the irritation hiding behind her cool expression. "Don't know why you would think that, Rodriguez," she says breezily, chin pushed forward in challenge. "I'm glad we're finally being taken seriously around here."

Rory can see the beast that prowls just under her skin, the one Savorre keeps in check by keeping people at arm's length, distracting them with pretty eyes and smart quips so they don't look too close. But Rory has been little more than a wild creature confined in human skin since she was a girl; she knows a starving animal when she sees one.

"Right. Of course, my mistake," Rory replies, taking a sip of the watery mess hall coffee, the sweetness on her tongue from more than just sugar and cream. "Although, Veal did tell me somethin' interesting the other day..."

Rory plucks the spoon out of her mug, lifting it to her mouth. She watches Savorre watch her, sucking the remnants of coffee off the spoon in an exaggerated motion.

For being the Captain of a plane dubbed The Mouse Hole, Savorre does not enjoy being the prey in their little game of cat and mouse. It's a feeling far too intimate for her. "Spit it out, Rodriguez, or go yap at someone else."

Rory laughs, pleased at how aptly she tries to switch their roles. A cat languidly sharpening their claws on a scratch post. Rory is content to be one; everyone needs an outlet, and she was made to be a scratch post that keeps the cat from tearing up the furniture instead. Makes her feel alive.

"Well, if my yappin' bores you so," she pushes up to leave. Viv's hand shoots out quicker than her eyes can track, wraps around her wrist like a vice. She doesn't say anything, won't bear the humiliation it'd cause her to ask or even demand answers, she just digs her short nails into the flesh of Rory's arm.

Contrary to popular belief, Rory knows when not to push her luck. She sits.

Viv's claws retract, but her hand stays wrapped around her wrist. Rory likes that. She can reward good-ish behavior.

"Rumor has it the next mission's gonna be a long one," Rory turns her wrist still in Viv's hand, letting her palm come to rest against the back of her forearm. "Now, Suzy ain't flyin' that one, and I heard that the lead might be goin' to someone..." She trails off, tracing a feather light finger over Viv's skin.

About damn time, Viv thinks, but doesn't say. She flexes the fingers around Rory's wrist as one of Rory's nails lightly scratch her arm, a delicious rush following the movement.

"Maybe even somethin' about a promotion, but what do I know?" That has Viv freezing in her seat. Would they...?

Like a ripple effect, Rory freezes, too. She had expected a flare of ego from Viv, something she could use to get both of their blood boiling over, not...whatever this is. She feels guilty all of a sudden, cruel, like a childish bully. She knows that Viv believes she doesn't like her, but she does, it's just that it's horribly muddled up with jealousy.

They're both nervous, ill-treated dogs. But Viv hides it, gets people to like her in a way Rory never could. Too full of ambition and vitriol and never good at lying.

They spring apart, as if the places where their skin touched had become a live wire. Viv glances over Rory's shoulder to see Willie and Bianca approaching; Willie with an expression of fondness accompanying a raised brow, and Bianca with what Viv thinks is exasperation on behalf of her pilot.

"C’mon, Rabid, eggs are waiting," Bianca says.

"Sure," Rory says, picking up her mug and avoiding Viv's gaze. "Just catching up. Neumann," she nods to Willie as she leaves.

Willie slides into the seat Rory vacated, stealing Viv's mug to take a swig.

"Bleh," she sticks her tongue out. Viv rolls her eyes and takes her cup back, wrapping her fingers around the base.

"Go get your own coffee then, freeloader."

"In a minute. What was that all about?" Willie asks, jerking her chin over her shoulder.

Viv traces a finger around the rim, brows furrowing slightly. She sighs, raising the mug to her lips, "I don't know," she says, taking a sip.

I can't believe Emmrich is scoring higher than other characters in polls, l didn't realise so many people with good taste existed.
