#angela x tao

[miloonmetis]

Hi!!! If I may request, I was wondering if you could make a Junkrat x reader fic where they’re like- enemies to lovers?? Like they REALLY get on each other’s nerves but then realize when working together it’s like a match made in heaven,, which leads to something else??? Idk if I worded it right but yeah!! Thanks in advance!

|| I'm such a sucker for this trope :,) (+ sorry it took me a bit)

featuring: Junkrat x Reader warnings: cursing, slight angst, anxiety(?), not-proof read, slight cliff hanger?, fluff, wholesome

Being a "hero" was tiring, keeping up with missions and other members of Overwatch. Especially with some of the frequent "guests", Jamison Fawkes was your worst nightmare. His presence was just aggravating, he smelt terrible and was just a loud human being. Every time you'd hear the sound of his boot and metal leg you found yourself running off to hide somewhere, typically you ran to Angela's lab. But, he found out and started to go there as well. It was annoying, the way he was purposefully trying to bother you.

Trying to get work done was a no-go, you’d have to find a more secluded space to even be able to write a sentence. Even then, in struts Jamison. “Heya!” He shoves his nose in every little thing you own, grabbing them and getting soot over everything you had just neatly cleaned. “Jamison.” You responded blankly, you didn’t look up from your work; focusing strictly on it so you wouldn’t get sidetracked and mess something up. again. “Whatcha doing?” He asks, his Australian accent is thick and almost makes him inaudible. “Just a few tweaks to my things.” You respond, your tongue sticking out as you concentrate.

Jamison chuckles as he watches you, his eyes roaming your face; studying every detail and feature of your face. Bringing up his metal hand he pressed the finger against your tongue, “PF-“ you stick your tongue out more and then bring it back in. “Wha.. What was that for?” You asked, your brows furrowing as you looked at the taller and smellier individual. “Just wanted to see your reaction!” He laughs his maniac laugh, bringing his hand down and leaning against your workspace table. “Don’t-“ “What? Cover it all in soot? I’m already here love.” He smirked mischievously at you.

You looked at him with wide eyes before you grabbed his hand and shoved it off his counter, the junker almost lost his balance but quickly caught himself before he went face-first into your desk. He glares at you, “I was just trying to make conversation, you always got be such a nag.” He spoke, rolling his eyes and turning away from you. You turn to look at him, your eyebrows furrowed. “ME? ME???!” You were upset that the person who did all the nagging and annoying was him! “Don’t blame me for shit you do.” You snap back, grabbing your phone and stomping as you stand up.

“Don’t. Follow me.” You point at him and storm off, navigating the halls with ease after practically living here. You found yourself out of Lucios door, he was in due to medical reasons from the most recent mission. You pause for a moment, staring at it before you bring your hand up and gentle tao your knuckles against the door to knock. “Come in!” Lucio yells out, you reach and twist the knob; welcoming yourself into his room. It was covered in music posters, LED lights, and a bunch of his personal creations throughout his music career; as well as the essential couch, bed, and mini fridge. for his convenience.

Lucio sat at his desk, clicking away at his mouse as he edited his new song. He had his headphones on, one side off the ear so he could hear anyone coming. Also since his door wasn’t locked and he didn’t have it on “DND”, He eventually clicked one last time before bringing his hands up and moving his headphones down to his shoulders. He swiveled in his chair to look at you, “What’s up?” He asks, his hands now placed between his thighs. “I just need somewhere to hide, for at least an hour.” You deep sigh, shutting the door carefully behind you and then going over to his couch.

Lucio looks at you momentarily, "Jamison getting to you?" He asked, You looked up at him almost confused about how he knew but realizing how much of a scene you usually make when you want him gone from your sight. "Yeah..." You respond, staring down at your fingernails picking at the skin and peeling it off. Lucio looked down at your hands before grabbing them, "You do know the only way he'll ever stop is if you talk to him about it?" He says You look at him. "How the hell am I supposed to talk to him if he just talks OVER me!" You speak with a bitter tone. Lucio chuckles, "But not just you, everyone. You just have to let him speak and then continue, OR speak louder." He explains to you.

You sigh, he was right. He always was, It's why you always ran to him in moments of need. Especially on missions, being a healer and all.

You took a deep breath, wiping your sweaty palms off your pants. You made your way carefully throughout the base, looking for the tall obnoxious blonde. He was so hard to find for someone who was always so loud. You sighed losing hope that he was even anywhere to be found. About to give up, you turn and find yourself face-first in someone's chest. You look up and see the blonde, "Ah- sorry mate!" He put his hands up in surrender, he was acting different. More calm and respective, "It's alright-" "Alright." He goes to walk off, you froze for a moment as he simply was showing no interest. You took a moment before you chased after him, attempting to catch up with his long legs.

"Jamison!" You shout out to him, he pauses and turns around. He was shocked to see and hear you, chasing after him? but why. Oh, probably to go off on him about everything. You watched as his expression saddened, you frowned back at it. "I just wanted to talk to you about everything." You talk with your hands, looking down at the ground almost regretting this as he seemed to be already off and in a weird mood. He looked at you, "Yeah, I'm sorry about all that. 'is jus that, I think you are really smart... and really good-looking. Haven't really, yknow felt that way towards anyone before." He rambles on, Your face snapping up to look up at him. "Wait.. You..." You were Awestruck.

You stood there for a moment, debating on what the next right thing to say was. You opened your mouth to speak, "Maybe we can start over, yeah?" You ask, sticking your hand out to shake his. He looks shocked, he stares at your hand before taking it. "Yeah, I'd like that." He smiled.

Why the Politics of Carole and Tuesday are Important to the Narrative and Themes

“Media shouldn’t get political” is a phrase that’s being thrown around more and more now-a-days. People are saying media should not try to convince a person to take a certain political stance. Now to be frank this is blatantly bad take often coming from people who don’t understand that good art has themes it tries to address, but one might look at Carole and Tuesday and provide a simple counter argument to my statement: “Carole and Tuesday does have a theme, but that theme is the conflict between genuine music and artificial AI music which it focuses on in the first season but then in the second season it throws all this out the window to ‘get political’ and focus on immigration policies.” So basically the argument is that media does have themes, but the politics gets in the way of those themes. Okay, sure, now let me explain to you why that’s total bullshit and, at least for Carole and Tuesday’s case, the politics actually interwoven into the theme as opposed to it. And for the record, what are the themes of Carole and Tuesday? The people who are saying this shit about media “getting political” (conservatives) actually have more in common with this “political” show than they realize!

Just so we’re all on the same page the thesis of Carole and Tuesday’s earlier episodes is that music created artificially by AI in this future lacks a “soul”. Carole and Tuesday as a band making music on their own infuse this soul back into the industry and they’re remarkable success is an indication that humans want this kind of music. Also, several characters we know to be wise protagonists come right out and say this, like the singer Desmond. 

The thesis of the second season is that the anti-immigration policies of presidential candidate Valerie Simmons as well as the media censorship policies enacted to protect these anti-immigration policies are both wrong. Honestly when key characters the audience knows to be good people start getting arrested and deported by “MICE” there isn’t much complicated analysis to be done is there?

So how are these two sides of the show connected? If we look at them from the lens of modern day politics, one of them is a conservative thought (gee wasn’t music better back in my day), and the other is a progressive thought (gee wouldn’t it be cool if stopped racially profiling immigrants). However, these are both connected by the concept of “motherhood” that defines the last song in the show and the “7 minute miracle”. Even mothers as horrible as Tuesday’s and Angela’s are given redemption and eventually seen as good in the end despite what they did (need I remind you Angela’s mother mentions beating her earlier in the show). 

This concept applied to the first half of the show makes a lot of sense: motherhood is an obvious symbol of connecting to the past. Your mother is quite literally the farthest in the past any person can go. They are also your family and provide warmth for you in the same way the human-created songs provide warmth and soul. 

To look at the second half lets look at when Tuesday initially brings up this idea to Carole: She describes Earth as Mother Earth. Remember, these are not just any immigrants, they’re immigrants from Earth. Earth is the original home of humanity, and so this title of “Mother Earth” makes a lot of sense. Earth is our origin. With that being said, the anti-immigration policies can be viewed as cutting off Mars from its origin and doesn’t that sound super familiar to the first half’s message about music? So in a weird way, being pro-immigration in Carole and Tuesday is thematically a conservative idea.

Censorship also factors into that conservation Carole and Tuesday had. They said “you are born free”. What this implies is that we can obtain freedom by connecting to our roots. The new age of technology is actually stripping away our freedoms by taking away tasks that were previously human such as driving, delivering packages and of course composing and singing songs. Technology is also used multiple times for surveillance and stalking. Oddly enough the only technology that is posed in a good light is social media like Instagram, whatever YouTube equivalent Carole and Tuesday’s first performance was uploaded to, and whatever they used to stream the “7 minute miracle” to the world. I think all these technology are seen as good because they let people express themselves.

So, yeah, turns out Carole and Tuesday has pretty conservative libertarian show despite themes despite what you might think from the latter half. Of course I still think the pro-immigration message is a very very good thing. You see, the only fault is that the show thinks pro-immigration is good because that’s what we did “back in the day”. That’s obviously not true for modern politics and in fact that reasoning often lead to anti-immigration politics. 

Whether you agree or disagree with Carole and Tuesday’s politics, what I hopefully proved here today is that those politics are incredibly important to the theme of the show and not some kind of tacked on message. And, you know, that’s often the case for these shows that “get political”.

My top ships this 2019

1. Joker x Makoto Niijima (even if Persona 5 was launched 3 years ago, but because of Persona 5 The Royal I will make an exception for this list)

2. Callum x Rayla

3. Naofumi x Raphtalia (even with how fucked up their relationship began)

4. Angela x Tao (are they related?)

5. Carole & Tuesday (in a platonic way since both have shown romantic interest in other people)

6. Senku x Kohaku (I ship it, but because I haven’t seen the manga yet I don’t know if it’s canon)

For stories from previous years that I discovered

Hero x Demon Lord (the anime is short, but heartwarming)

Some shenshens from exactly one yr ago today (/▽＼*)。o○♡ [x]

Highlights from the livestream: 

Timestamp 1:00 -

Lan Tianyang: “With Zhou Shen’s performances [on Singer], you could feel how developed his musical expression and artistry is. This is so hard to find in a singer, really so hard to find. He’s a masterful musician, to be able to control so many different styles of music—an extremely skilled professional singer.”

Meanwhile, Zhou Shen: *fidgets* *makes faces* *bows intermittently* *breathes nervously* *gets visibly more and more awkward/uncomfortable as he goes on*

2:23 - ZS: [about his different music styles in Singer] “I don’t know, I think it’s actually more styles I would play around with in private with people I’m familiar with […] before, singing a lot more ballads… probably… because I didn’t feel secure enough on stage, and I didn’t really dare to try things out.”

17:31 - ZS, reading from the livestream chat: “’Have you gotten taller?’ I also ask myself this everyday.” (T/N: rip lmao)

6:00 - ZS’ outfits in Singer were carefully designed by ZS’ good friend Demon lao shi; ZS says, “yeah they [shengmi] all know her” (T/N: she also designed all of the C929 concert outfits, everyone say THANK YOU DEMON LAO SHI ੭ᐕ)੭*⁾⁾ )

9:00 -

Guo Tao: “Yesterday when I came to Singer, the first msg I got from my dad was ‘you got fatter.’” [*ZS bends over laughing*] “Nothing about work or anything else lol”

ZS: “Don’t worry, I stayed at home for 7, 8 days and others told me I got fat *laughs* but it’s fine, I think the most important thing is that you personally feel comfortable, [...] not whether others think you’re fat. Health comes first.”

18:00 - Staff member asks about ZS’ weight, someone guesses 94 lbs in livestream chat

ZS: “That was before—no wait, before it was around 92 or 93.” (T/N: ??? ???? ????? wtf)

LTY: “I think among everyone who’s competed in Singer, the skinniest was Angela Zhang.”

ZS: *O: face* “Even thinner than HuaHua?”

LTY: “HuaHua isn’t considered thin”

ZS: “????? HUAHUA ISN’T CONSIDERED THIN?!?!? ?? [*Guo Tao laughs*] I feel like every time I see him standing, its just like two sticks” *gestures with fingers*

LYT: “HuaHua fans are going to come after you lol”

ZS: “All I mean is that he’s really too skinny”

LYT: “No, Angela was the skinniest. *whispers* She was 88 lbs.”

ZS and GT: *pikachu shock face*

ZS: “Everyone, health comes first, really, don’t blindly chase after an ideal.”

16:10 - ZS and LYT both talking about how they have to eat before singing, unlike the traditional saying “play when full, sing when hungry”; ZS: “if I don’t eat rice I won’t be able to find my diaphragm, won’t have any strength.”

19:23 - Staff member asks how he was acquainted with the New Pants band; ZS: “I wasn’t, I met them on Singer.” Proceeds to mention how he thought of other people he knew before, but anyone he was familiar with would be too predictable. (T/N: *eyes emoji*)

22:25 - GT brings up how ZS did a duet with Jike Junyi’s guest Xu Weizhou before (T/N: wmdg getting cued :D) and talk about his heavy metal screamo technique and not to try it at home or your voice will be like this

Tag Tuesday - First Fic

I thought it was only fitting that the first Tag Tuesday should feature the "My First Fic" and its related tags.

I think, in retrospect, writers tend to look back on our first works and cringe, but I also think there is a lot of love, joy, enthusiasm, and beauty to be found in first fanfics. The whole process back then was new and exciting, and I remember having a kind of almost manic energy and excitement while writing my first fic that I've never been able to recapture since then. So lets take a moment to shed some love on some of the fandoms' first forays into writing fanfiction!

Was your first fic in the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons universe? Send it our way! We'd love to see them!

Beauty and Disgrace (Poetry Collection)

Deleted wattpad post under the pseudonym: goldiiblox

🦋 angela's note: To the friends that I wrote these poems to in the past, thank you for the memories. I wish you well, even if we all fell apart. And on second thought, I really think these poems are so strange. What was on my mind while I was writing these and making rose lollipops out of paper? There are also two poems I did not include here because.. I just don’t want to remember them anymore. I don’t like the ideas.

Synopsis:

A 'collection' of poetry that I wrote for two weeks sometime in January to give to my friends whom are special to me on Valentine's Day.

"For writers always have their heads up somewhere. When we think of somewhere, we look up at the sky. Maybe we're thinking where, or asking it for an answer."

Kamusta? (A written introduction for the website)

Ang Simula

Ang mga tulang inyong mababasa ay isinulat ng isang dalagang maraming tanong sa mundo. Ito ay mga tulang isinulat ko para sabihin ang mga nararamdaman ko. Nagkakaroon tayo ng mga kaibigan, kahit pilit natin itong iwasan ay darating sila sa mundo natin upang patunayang hindi tayo nag-iisa. Hindi ibig sabihing mahina ka kapag may katulong ka, ipinapahiwatig lang nito na malulungkot ka lamang kung mananatili kang naglalakbay na mag-isa sa mundo.

May nakapagsabi sa akin, na pakaunti nang pakaunti ang oras na nabubuhay ang isang tao. Palala ng palala ang mundo, tila may isang malubhang karamdamang walang lunas. Masakit man at hindi katanggap-tanggap, ngunit tayo ang dahilan ng paghihirap na kanyang dinaranas.

Naisip ko na, bakit nga ba minahal natin ang isa't-isa? Kung ikaw lang naman sa atin ang nasasaktan ng malubha? Isang tanong na binulong ko sa langit, na parehong nilulunod ang paningin ng mga bituing na kailanma'y hindi ko masusungkit.

Patawad, mundo. Mahal na mahal kita. Patawad dahil hindi ko alam kung mahal ka pa rin ba ng iba.

Ang mga tulang ito ay hindi man ang pinakamahusay sa lahat, ngunit kailangan pa bang alamin kung ito ay binuhos ko mula sa aking pusong maraming linalaman?

Magkikita tayong muli pagkatapos ng labing-isang tula.

(Paalala para sa mga banyaga: Labing-isa, maghintay ka bago mo maintindihan ang iyong binabasa.)

Pag-uulit

Siya ang gabi, at ikaw ang buwan.

Dumating ang araw

Iyak

Sa isang lugar na kung saan

Mga tanong na hindi nasagot

Hardin

Isang inang nagaabang nag pag-asa

Ang anak, naghahanap ng pagmamahal

Namatay na ang hardin

Pag-aalangan

May mga bagay akong kinatatakutan

Ang mga bisyong hindi ko matakasan

Hiling ko sana'y hindi na ako matakot.

Nakakalito

Pag-ibig sadyang nakakalito

Sapagkat napakatulin ng iyong pagtakbo.

Pag-asa Para sa Mga Bulaklak

Pakiusap, sana diligan mo naman sila.

Hinawakan ng iyong daliri

Sumpa

Hangin, tubig, lupa at apoy

Biniyayaan sila ng misteryo

Ang lupa at apoy

Panaghoy

Nakatutulog ako tuwing may bagyo.

Nagagalit ako tuwing nakakaramdam

Diyamante

Madalas hinahanap ng mga babae

Naadik sa kanya ang isang perlas,

Buti pa ang mga bato

Tamlumpu’t Isang Pahina

Sinabi nilang mahusay ako.

Ano nga bang meron sa hinaharap?

Ako ay dapat nakasulat sa ika-tatlumpu't isang pahina.

Paalam! (A written post to section the Filipino poems and the English poems)

Sa nakaraang pahina ay nagtapos ang parada ng mga tula. Masaya na ang aking kalooban dahil nailagay ko na rin sila sa lugar na kanilang dapat paglagyan. Sa ngayon ako muna'y mamamaalam, dahil ako naman ay magsusulat sa ibang wika ng isang liham na mayaman din sa tula.

Hindi naman ako kagalingan, ngunit wala na akong ibang pinaghuhugutan. Ang pag-ibig ay hindi ko man nailarawan sa mga tula, naipahiwatig ko naman ang aking naintindihan dito. At dahil sa pakikinig ko sa kwento ng iba't ibang tao, marami na din akong natutunang aral galing sa kanila.

Huwag tayong mawawalan ng pag-asa. Hindi natin kailangang pilitin masagot ang lahat ng ating itinanong, dahil may mga katotohanang magdadala pa sa iyo sa mga mas mapanlinlang pang kasinungalingan.

Hearts (An Overheard Conversation)

"Can I touch your heart?"

"Well, no, you cannot."

"Why so?"

"You have to open me up first, an you will never know how painful it is."

"Oh. I apologize for being rude."

"You know, people like you are rare. People with genuine care are rare."

"How could you say that?"

"People who came were crows who opened me up and touched my heart. Some even have nails too sharp that it left a scar."

"What's worse is that they spoke no words while tearing me open. I reckon the times I feel nothing, my cries for mercy withered away, and I heard my own silence."

"I feel really sorry. I shouldn't have asked. It's my mistake. I sincerely apologize."

"It's natural for you to feel sorry, but don't be. After all, you won't like the hideous sight I've been keeping inside me."

"I should stay away from my ignorance. A treasure chest doesn't always contain luxury."    

The Chase

"Perhaps hopeless isn't a place."

Embroidery

They were series of dreams

Define

The fish swam in the sea

Fear crept in its veins

Flight

Sometimes, it's good to be free.

Oh no, there is an approaching storm

Promise

I sat at the back, feeling discouraged.

L O V E

I haven't found it yet but still searching.

Is it really love?

Is it love when we only think of bliss?

I see the paper.

Questions From a Mutual

Is the flower pretty?

I love you dearly

Hesitant

Silence is asking for a dance.

Aurora spoke in eloquence.

"I miss silence"

The existence of silence, my heart beating

Tsunami

If pain is never permanent

Asking

Troubled lots of times

The clouds are speaking the truth.

Strangers

Timid was my perfect profile.

We are two celestial bodies embracing.

Gradient

Why are we distant?

Cashmere skies, reflected your dreamy eyes.

Abundance

I woke up from my bed of roses.

On The Shelf

"Hey moon, please forget to fall down."

Tearing worlds apart, crossing the black hole

Just In Case

This world, a chaotic place.

Now just in case,

Alive?

Sometimes, it's good to be alive.

I wrote during the midnight,

The Good Side

Wasteland became a home.

Dreams have fallen

How Could I?

Should Valentine's last long?

The chase is pointed at me

But they didn't.

Pieces of You

No, I can't fly without wings.

You thought you fell on clouds,

Question: Are you the lost fallen angel?

Delete

Delete the sea in your mind

You sat, barely listening

Tired?

A house built from cards.

There are at least three questions

Saints

Here they are, dancing.

Their lips spoke a prayer.

Evocative

Honestly, I feel tired

Who knows when I'm writing this?

Haven

When I was a star, I loved being warm.

100 Letters

The crack of dusk

Feels like slowly spreading ink.

The rising sun

Is she blinding someone?

I wanted everything to be perfect.

There's a list of wishes

But they feel like I'm becoming more

Hopeless.

Voiceless at 9 o’ clock

Moments, rooms, voices

The house is filled with voices.

It has such clear windows.

But once destroyed by hopeless

All these shows

Are gone by morning.

Perhaps even late in the evening,

Where wild hearts are sleeping.

Voiceless, hopeless is screaming.

Swimming Pools

Things hit rock bottom.

It feels heaven to be in love

Why does it feel hell to break in half?

The swimming pools are calming underneath.

Morning

Parties are fun, do you want to lose your mind?

I tainted my mind with lust.

The throne is made of gold,

Torn in Two

I believed that in this world,

My hopes are as high as a tower.

The cards have cut a slit in my chest.

Misinterpretation

Even if I don't want you to expect much,

Hello, this is me.

I'm a stranger.

Play

She loved the mystery of love.

Why is love serious with their games?

Nemesis granted me a pill.

I wished to be in love.

And now I'm aware that I'm included in this mystery.

Solitude

Pardon, I know you're getting tired.

Sunny, happy, and care-free

We both need rest.

February

Could be as sweet as honey

February, could be a common name

Be safe in playing with the cards.

They are dangerous, all the time.

Wishing Wells

Wishing wells are one of our old spells.

Possibly, we fail.

It's for you to be happy.

H a l f w a y

A variety of poems.

I.

Bubbles float in the virtual world.

I couldn't care less.

My mind, a deep chasm.

Our hearts, disconnecting

But our dreams, slowly forming.

II.

Crimson filled the cloudy afternoon.

The sun cries with vivid tears.

They chose to escape this disaster,

The stars became blind.

Now I see, that the night is gone.

III.

Obsessed with perfection

Obsessed with the passion

Is this the place where they belong?

Or is this another illusion?

IV.

Wistful, I pride for my ocean.

Why do I feel like I'm inside a whirlpool?

I wonder what is going on.

V.

Instead, why am I receiving worlds?

VI.

We are finally on the first lap.

How can I say things

You're halfway.

Can you offer time to stay?

His Story

I | Sculpture

It is a sculpture of a heart

II | Squares

It is a Polaroid

III | Barrier

It is a wall

IV | Puzzle

False discoveries.

Carole: “Too bad we still got thrown in a jail cell for a week.”

Crystal: “Hi, Skip.”

Skip: “Hi.”

Ertegun: “Well, I can add being in the slammer to my curriculum as a musician. Maybe I can join an environmentalist protest later this year.”

MD3 watches Carole & Tuesday season 1 part 2

I didn't write any reaction notes while watching eps13-14 because I wasn't at my laptop at the time.  And I didn't write any during ep15, because I was trying to not be so distracted.  By by ep16, I couldn't not write reactions anymore.  ^^;;;;

Also, I watched this half of the season mostly in English dub.  I thought if I did, I wouldn't get so distracted. And it did help me be able to watch while I ate.  Yet I ended up marathoning the rest of the series all day.  ^^;;;;;  

2:26 PM 12/27/2019

Carole and Tuesday ep16

"Where can we find a band that will play for free?"  *Turns corner and finds a band playing for free*  LOL  I love this show!  LOL  ^o^  No, but seriously, I love how virtually conflict-free it is.  Whatever obstacles there are, get resolved quickly or by the end of an episode or 2.  ^o^  I used to be the type who was all about the "demon hunter" subgenre and Shonen anime.  But yesterday, I had to admit that maybe I'm not that anymore.  Yesterday, I had been trying to get myself to catch up on Dr. Stone and Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba, but instead I watched more Ascendance of a Bookworm and Carole & Tuesday.  ~.~;  For a few years now, I've found myself unable to watch anything outside of the iyashikei genre: moe shows, slice of life, "feel good" series, etc.  Hell, Natsume Yuujinchou is one of my top 3 favorite anime.  And now I can't stop watching Carole & Tuesday...but I can't get myself to watch more of a good show like Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba.  x~x;  I guess this means my anxiety has gotten really bad if I have to exclusively watch soothing series with no traumatic drama.  I recently heard a movie reviewer (reviewing Uncut Gems and) describing the Drama genre as supposed to make you tense and uncomfortable, and I was like, "Nope.  Not for me.  No wonder I can't watch dramas."  But I don't want people to mistake me as saying series like Carole & Tuesday and Natsume Yuujinchou are "shallow".  I cry at every episode of Natsume Yuujinchou.  Carole & Tuesday constantly move me inside.  It's just not the manufactued drama and glorification of meanspiritedness that seems to be on display in the Drama genre (for dramam series/movies outside of iyashikei category).  

"She was born poor.  Her parents both died when she was young."  What?  I saw this clip subtitled before Netflix US was able to premier it.  And the translator said that Flora's parents died because they couldn't afford their hospital bills.  And that really struck me.  It's a real thing going on in the US.  So I'm sad that Netflix didn't have the same translation in their subtitles.  

Oh, wow.  The dub translated it as "She lost both her parents at a young age, becuase they couldn't afford a hospital."

---------------------------------------------------

Carole & Tuesday ep17

Ertegun is so stupid.  LOL  He doesn't even realize that the one thing he has left is his name, and he could use that to make money.  

I was so sure Aaron was the black_knight.  Well, at least we can ID the stalker by his fingernails.  

LOL  They both thought they could get away with playing the same song.  LOL  

You tell her, Spencer.

Woah.  It just turned into Perfect Blue.  

6:51 PM 12/27/2019

Continuing the ep.

Well, you sure ARE going to die soon. I don't care if Ertegun has been mostly an antagonist during the first half of this series.  That Pinocchio needs to get pummeled.  lol  But don't kick him into the air!  Take him to jail!

-----------------------------------------------------

6:57 PM 12/27/2019

Carole & Tuesday ep18

They're not going to try to interrogate Aaron?  Sounds like he has an idea who the stalker is.

They didn't ALREADY tell the police?!????

Hofner!  I like when Gus reconnects with his old friends.  Even if it is business. It's like a glimpse of these guys being rag-tag musicians back in the day, contrasted against them now, is kind of amusing.  

Why is she interviewing him?  I thought Tuesday wanted to ask him what he's been covering about her mom.

I should look up Kyle's voice actor.  He sounds familiar.  

Now that I think about it, Angela has been really preoccupied by this stalker stubplot.  Usually she's more of an antagonist towards Carole and Tuesday.  

Well, the phone is bugged.  ...Or is it the car?

"Anti-Mars" terrorists?  

Please don't tell me Jerry caused the exploison.

Well, I didn't expect Tao to get pulled into this political subplot.  

I kind of wish I hadn't seen this clip of "Threads" beforehand.  Then I wouldn't have been reading for when Tuesday was crushing on Kyle.  Still, even while watching it, if it wasn't for Tuesday's blushing, I probably wouldn't have gotten the hint that she was forming a crush on him, because I didn't really see why anyone would crush on him for the few interactions they've had.  I mean, Tuesday finally talked about her mom and even fears that she's afraid to burden Carole with.  So maybe she confused "friendship-like therapy sessions" with a deep connection?  

---------------------------------------------------------

7:33 PM 12/27/2019

Carole & Tuesday ep19

I hope Alba City's infrasstructure is built for snow and whatever run-off water it might cause.  

They don't have money for a big stage show!  LOL

I wonder if Tao and BlackKnight know each other from past programming industry.  

Bilboard status!

Aw, don't call Ertigun a traitor...

I'm surprised Carole recognized Amer.  Boys' facial bone structures can change a lot as they grow.  

Whenever Angela and Carole&Tuesday have their little stand-offs, it reminds me of a "battle anime".  lol

"If you tell us, maybe I'll stop calling you a traitor."  Oh, poor Roddy!  LOL

I actually really like this idea of Tao's programming skills, how the analytical psychology programs apply to both music and politics, all this AI, and hacking.  If they made a whole series about that, I'd be very interested.  

Dun dun DUN!

Even though Ertigun is an idiot and can be a jerk, it still is sad to see someone sad.  

I wonder if the Black Knight set up this hoodie guy---and there we go.

Oh!  So that's why that lcip I saw of Carole & Tuesday's song from this ep seemed like most of their electronics were out of comission.  I'm surprised Tao's microwave emitter didn't blow out Ertigun's electronic equipment too.  ----Wait.  So all their equipment wasn't blown out?  They chose to go low fi?  Good.  It's like what that Chinese cinema movie critic said: It's better to contrast a superstar vs trying to copy cat Bruce Lee; that's why Jackie Chan was able to stand out.  But it's really sweet that Carole & Tuesday prefaced their performance with "this is how we play at home for each other".  ;u;  Even if it's quiet, it's cool to see the crowd so perfectly captivated.  

---------------------------------------------------------

7:58 PM 12/27/2019

Carole & Tuesday ep20

Jeeze, this is getting serious.  As in uncomfortably plausable in real life.  Big companies being behind a political candidate, so they can manipulate laws to get away with whatever they want...  Yeek.  

"Popcorn Bomb"?  ^o^

Wait a second...  I switched to Japanese dub so I could check out his seiyuu...  Is that...Keiji Fujiwara?  No way...  Wikipedia says Subaru Kimura.  

I like that this series is discussing how rap is used as a protest tool.  I'm not that familiar with the genre, so I wasn't aware of how entrenched it is in politics until I saw some reports recently.  Apparently, there are even authoritarian governments trying to create their own rappers, in an attempt to drown out all the dissident popular rappers.  

I know "I don't have time to be sad" is framed as some kind of "admirable" resilience, but it seems kind of sad to me.  

It's funny how little characterization their band is given, other than their character design and a few short moments, but I guess this series doesn't have much time for that on top of everything else.  

Well, that's a target on Amer's back.

Angela's adopted?  

Maybe I haven't noted this yet, but it's really creative all the ways this series finds to save its budget. Like keeping Angela in essentially the same outfit as one of her previous standard costume designs, but just changing the color of her strapless top.  And they get away with it; it really does look very different, just by changing the color (and probably symolizes the darker turn her story is taking.)  It's impressive.  It's how studio Bones can afford all this rotoscoping and so much more animation that other series.  

--------------------------------------------------------------

8:25 PM 12/27/2019

Carole & Tuesday ep21

"Nevermind the serious darma going on in Angela's B plot.  Let's get on with our A plot."  LOL

Y'know there's a lot of anime where a girls says, "Will you go somewhere with me?"  And she's framed really cute.  Then cut, and there's supposed to be some kind of scene of them hanging out that the characters say isn't a date, but the direction/framing and the male protagonist treat like a date.  Is that phrase "Wanna go somewhere with me?" like a common phrase in Japanese used to ask someone out on a date?  

HOw did Roddy make that promise without already knowing how much a natural Christmas tree costs?  lol

Wow. So many pills. This escalated quickly.

-------------------------------------------------------------

8:43 PM 12/27/2019

Carole & Tuesday ep22

I"m so glad we have protagonists who can worry about their "rival".  

"You don't have time to be worrying about other people."  But that's why I like Carole & Tuesday!  ;o;!

Now that I think about it, isn't it weird that they're meeting and having this complicated discussions with Crystal in a hotel lobby instead of a conference room?  But hey, if it saves studio Bones money to reuse the same set designs, rather than design a whole new conference room and hall to a conference room, then it's an impressive budget cutting technique.  

They're so cute!  Jumping up and down and giggling.  ^o^

Look how flabergasted Carole looks while Tuesday sings "happy birthday" to her! ^o^ And Ziggy is so cute!  Cooing/singing along too.  ^o^

Professor Zeeman?  Who's that?

Whole scene stopped so Roddy can compliment their dresses...  Dawwwwww.... ^___^

Omg someone really studied US award ceremony monologues.  All the cheesey cringe and shout-outs to the audience and everything. O_o

OMG  The host is outsing Tuesday's relation to Valerie?!  Did peopel know that before???

-----------------------------------------------------------

9:04 PM 12/27/2019

Carole & Tuesday ep23

Aw, Angela's #1 fan/manager is back.  

Dang.  Skip-tachi getting arrested for just walking down the street.  I know I started off watching this show because "nothing really bad happens", but as these last few episodes come up, it's sure escalating into "real world problems" territory.  o_o  I can't even look at the "MICE" on the cops' backs and this whole subplot about refugees and immigration being used as a political talking point for an election more than as anything else, without thinking of real world problems right now.  

Just a second ago, I thought it was really cool that Spencer was actually in Carole & Tuesday's apartment.  But now EVERYBODY'S there!  LOL

I like that they mentioned "scaring people into self-censorship" and not just banning freedom of speech.  

At first, this speech sounded like unrealistic slice of life fluff.  "Saving the world through a song"?  Isn't that what won the war in Macross?  That level of unrealism.  But when Tuesday said, "If we can all sing freely, none of us will be silenced," then it all made sense as a unified protest song.  Like, "I dare you to arrest the entire industry".  

"But a person who's not idealistic is nothing but a slave!" turned into "Although, if you don't defend what you believe in, then what's the use in living."  o.o

Well, I didn't expect Valerie to confront Jerry about the bombing.

Well, now we know why the first episodes introduced the Immigration Hall.

Wow.  there's a whole cyberpunk corporate espionage movie going on in the B plot.  lol

Oh..."Mother Earth"...I saw spoilers of that song before I actually watched this episode.  That was the one interpretation I didn't consider.  

I love when the cuts go to Ziggy with the sleepy eyes.

I'm really glad they brought back Angela's #1 fan/manager to be there to listen to Angela's emotional breakdown.  

I like that Tao and his AI exchanged some semblence of "human"/empathic concern in saying goodbye to each other.

Is Tao really going to disappear?

----------------------------------------------------------

9:34 PM 12/27/2019

Carole & Tuesday ep24

So Pr. Zeeman is a designer baby creator.  

Oh, wow.  Tao and Angela are like siblings.  

Don't people die by jumping off bridges?????? O~O!

LOL  Scream from the rooftops then "SHUT UP!"  LOL

The landlord finally spoke!  ^o^

Aw, their idol Crystal is fangirling over their other idol Flora.  And then Desmond appears to overshadow them all.  LOL

AW, they even brought back Carole's friend working security at the Immigration Hall.  ;u;

Finally watching this song in context.  ;U;

Well, if Shinichiro Watanabe wanted to make a series about the music industry and all its tropes, he did it.  It's got that "We Are the World" moment and everything.  

The lyrics of "Mother" really mean something different after realizing they're protesting for freedom of speech.  o.O

9:56 PM 12/27/2019

And now, done.  That was Carole and Tuesday.  ^___^

The Works

The Unfolding Pavilion has invited the most unique members of the Little Italy network to create works capable of reacting to both Gino Valle’s building and the specific space occupied by the Pavilion.

The invited architects were asked to produce original objects/installations, that puts in dialogue their personal body of work to the Giudecca Social Housing - to one or more of its elements/spaces/representations, to the whole building, to the relation of the project with its urban surroundings, etc. - and so to use the Venetian condominium as a sort of tool to reflect on their own practice, just as the representations of Renaissance ideal cities served as tools to experiment with the new technique of perspective.
