What vehicle do the RO's all drive?

Oh what a fun question!!

Beck:

Motorcycle, they do not have a car. When winter hits they typically either a) walk, b) risk driving their bike, or c) ask for rides.

Croft:

Brand-new (the year they left the real world) jeep. And also a moving trailer that is probably in a field somewhere so they don't have to deal with it.

Jay:

Big red truck :)

Perri:

Something a little whimsical, like a bug. Absolutely papered in bumper stickers.

Ravi:

He drives his hearse almost everywhere. He thinks it's funny. Also technically owns his dad's old station wagon (well. he did.)

Yasmin:

Little blue car, cozy and compact. Can also be seen driving the big-ass library van but she hates it.

'wah wah everywhere is falling to the right wing the whole world is doomed' literally like 6 months ago we were talking about how there was a trend in countries getting rid of their right wing governments. poland at the end of last year, france voted in a unified centre left/left alliance, even the UK finally got rid of the tories after 15 years (right wing splitting be damned, it still happened). outside of europe, bangladesh removed a dictator in like 2 seconds, india may have reelected their Evil Guy but on a DISTINCTLY reduced majority, theres been queer rights successes in thailand, with gay marriage set to be legal by 2025, and thereve been positive court cases on it in japan. and this is just stuff i vaguely remember hearing about. im sure theres more if you care to look for anything aside from more reasons to make yourself miserable

the US has a distinct effect on everyone, so this won't be fun for anyone (least of all its population. sorry guys), and there ARE a lot of people sliding into right wing extremism, but presenting this like its an unchallenged worldwide phenomenon is inaccurate, its damagingly bleak, and all it does is encourage despair and apathy. you DO have political power, and you shouldnt forget that just because of bad election results and the media's desperation to make you lose hope

Update 3 (Final/wrap up):

I forgot to say but yes the boba candle came in a clear jar and it has these round black balls to mimic boba. So it’s pretty cool (and it smells nice).

If I go again I will definitely be saving up to buy one of the more pricey pieces of jewelry as it was gorgeous. (Real metal too—I got silver but they also had white gold and 18k plated gold (quick note as far as I could tell that gold was real. Spend enough time with gold and/or plated and you can tell the difference (it’s a big one) between what people sell as gold and what’s actually gold)) Anyway rant ok hold aside, we also went exploring and it seemed that they had other cool panels/workshops.

The food was kinda sucky tho. I got a beef and broccoli fried rice and not only was the vegetables cold, the rice was severely undercooked so I definitely do not recommend doing that lol.

Fun fact: I averaged 10,000 steps today.

I also saw one more Chuuya cosplayer (this time as fem Chuuya). If I go again I’m definitely going to dress up (as Chuuya lol).

But anyway it was really fun and I enjoyed going!!

I didnt know that about gold!! (though tbf i also never wear gold so I probably wouldn't notice at all lmao) but YES one thing i can recommend for any con is definitely you want to save cus there is SO MUCH PRETTY STUFF and I always want to buy it all but can't afford it djsjdjdjf

Rip about the food, that sucks, hopefully you got some better food later tho!! perhaps not at the con is the best bet (im pretty its ATL that has the good Ramen place?? or Columbia but I think it's ATL)

that's a LOT of steps oml

definitely I recommend cosplaying!!! there is always a need for more chuuyas in this world. we will create an army (<- is also working on a Chuuya cosplay rn)

Im glad you had fun though!!!! I hope you get to go to more cons in the future as well, cus they can be so much fun, especially when you find cool panels and workshops to go to :3

[bonus: here's what I was up to tonight!]

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

im sorry but i cannot stop thinking about isha's pastel memories that play during her sacrifice scene.

look at how full of colour this beautiful fuckin shot is:

it's been well established in episodes 4-6 how grim and dark the undercity has become under cait and ambessa's new rule. but look at how isha sees/remembers it - because of jinx.

jinx, who went through a severe childhood trauma that has carried over into her present self - she covers extremely destructive weapons and grenades in bright pinks and blues, neons, childlike doodles, graffiti. (joy and destruction, powder and jinx, a contrast so striking it becomes like a signature for her).

and then we see the world through isha's eyes. when we meet her in episode 2, she's running through sewers, from goons dressed in black; it's grimy and grim. and then all of her recent memories are done in these childlike pastel, almost crayon-y sketches. because what isha saw was jinx covering a dark and grim world in colours.

and so isha covered her world in colour, too.

because jinx made her world bright.

isha looked at jinx and saw the child in her. she saw powder and she saw jinx. she saw joy and destruction. and that's why jinx gave isha so much hope. isha knew the world was grim and dark - but then she watched jinx, and she learned that you can paint over all that grim darkness with neon blue spray paint.

that's why isha believed in hope. that's why in her final moments - in a scene that is lit dimly and dramatically - she sees nothing but a bright world coloured in pastels.

never underestimate the hope of a child.

need to post my favourite tweet in the entire world

I hate it when actors talk about an animal they had to work with on set and it’s obvious they were not patient with the animal at all. You especially see this with non cat people who had to work with cats and are like “Working with that cat was the bane of my existence, never on cue, scratched me once, always seemed afraid of me.” Like yeah, she’s a cat. She could probably sense you hated her. It’s hard enough to be an animal in the entertainment industry without some guy being a dick to you. Are you that uncharitable with human costars (and particularly child actors) or do you just hate animals?

Conversely, it’s so heartwarming when an actor speaks positively about an animal they worked with and/or there are behind the scenes stories of the crew genuinely trying to make the animal comfortable and giving them grace.

One of my favorite examples of this is Mad Max 2 (1981) which was made on a budget of $4.5 million AUD (about $13.5 USD in today’s money). They ended up casting a dog from the pound that was scheduled to be put down and by all accounts the dog was a nightmare to work with. But most of the cast and crew loved him. The dog’s name was Dog so his character’s name was also Dog. He was difficult to train but super food motivated so they kept writing dog food into scenes for him. He kept freaking out on set and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Eventually they realized part of the reason he kept acting out was because he was terrified of the sound of cars and motorcycles so they had special doggy earplugs made. His character was supposed to be aggressive but real Dog was very affectionate and could not be made to behave aggressively so they had to use selective editing to make him seem more menacing. When filming was done multiple crew members wanted to adopt him because he was such a good bad boy. He was adopted by one of the stuntwomen and got to live out the rest of his life doing actual blue heeler things. That was his only film role.
