Well, here we are.

If you’re in a battleground state, there are still a few opportunities for knocking on doors, for making phone calls, until not long before polls close. Here’s one in Pennsylvania; scroll down to find more than that specific example. Here’s one in North Carolina, and one in California for Congressional races.

There’s probably more for “ballot curing” if you live in a state that does that. Look around for it. It’ll be more phone calling, mostly, trying to reach people with damaged, errantly submitted, or otherwise problematic but otherwise-valid ballots so they can come in and verify who they are and get the ballots accepted. Look for local efforts if you can.

If you have friends or family you can still talk to, who might not vote or might be on the line or gods forbid might still be voting for the fascist, these are some of the best arguments I’ve put out there. Use ’em if you can, and haul ’em to the polls yourself if that’s what’ll work, because every single vote matters now.

Abortion rights and birth control go without saying.

From yesterday, the Party of Plague going fully against vaccination

From a few days ago, Elon Musk saying Trump will crash the economy, and that’s the goal

The raw, unvarnished race hatred of the Madison Square Garden rally

Trump literally being a Hitler fanboy and wanting what Hitler had, and the GOP being onboard with that

The people who have worked with him the most have the worst things to say about him

The plan to ramp climate destruction all the way up, to keep throwing money at oil companies until there’s nothing left to throw

How to interest the lowest and most passive of low-info voters

The essential misogyny and the raw hatred of women by MAGA

What to tell people who think politics is “boring” and they want to “stay out of it,” which is, in short: an authoritarian in power means literally everything is about politics all the fucking time

Project 2025, of course

And how this election can be the last one under the Baby Boom rules, under Baby Boom politics, and how there is finally – finally – a way to move forward, if we grab it now.

Trump will almost certainly declare victory no matter what the votes are; there are rumours that he’ll do it around 10pm, but that could be leftover from 2020 when he had the same plan. Fuck that, and fuck him, and don’t take it seriously.

There has already been some violence, so it’s safe to assume there will be more, but I don’t think it’ll be enough to matter today; what will matter today will be the rapid-fire disinformation barrage – from MAGA, from Russia, from Project Veritas, and more – and the fleet of legal filings MAGA will unleash, probably before polls even close. They’ll be trying to stop voters, vote counting, and most certainly vote certification.

Of course, we all know that’s coming. And that’s why every single vote, in every district, no matter how blue, matters. It’s because the bigger the margin, the fewer people will join on to the insurrection this time around. If it’s big enough, it’ll fall apart before it can even get started.

So. I’ll be around all day today and into the night, as I have been the last few weeks; I don’t know if I’m going to do a true “liveblog” here, but I might well. If I do, I’ll do it via a root post and replies. If I don’t, look for me on Mastodon, where I will most definitely be active.

It’s election day, team. Whatever you’ve got left, it’s time to deploy it. Good luck – and good hunting.

Now get out there and win this thing.

Election Day is here

[miintsprigz]

I decided to liveblog my thoughts on the new amazing digital circus episode!

Another long post incoming…

But uh SPOILERS!!!

•Oh this is a nightmare…just based on the weird movements…

•That’s such a terrifying nightmare legitimately. I know the “I don’t wanna play with you anymore” jokes will abound but…imagine if she DOES actually abstract at some point. And this was foreshadowing. Also, the fact that she’s so terrified of being forgotten… Oh honey… we could never forget you!

•I don’t ship them (PLEASE DONT KILL ME) but Ragatha and Pomni are so sweet. But goshdangit Ragatha your fEELINGS MATTER STOP FAWNING.

•THE GIANT BUBBLE BLEEP AHAHA

•”Zooby” PFFT.

•LARPING. SO POMNI’S CANONICALLY ONE OF US HUH, GIANT DWEEB (affectionately)

•Idk why but I really like that gummy elephant. It’s so cute!

•”They’ve even got little candy bugs here!” D’AWW.

•So…Caine’s God, huh.

•”I’m not a child you don’t have to hype me up.” Fair point. Still get icked out by r34 tho.

•”I call shotgun!” Ok I admit he’s fun at times.

•PLEASE LET GANGLE HAVE ONE NICE THING I BEG OF YOU

•The graphics did get a serious upgrade. I love it.

•Huh, so the AI have personalities even when they aren’t being watched, if the gummy bandits are AI.

•Ok never mind Jax is a pain again.

•YEAH YOU CUSS HIM OUT POMNI!

•Aw well at least Kinger is trying to help.

•”Now I have no bridge!” EAT IT RABBIT

•Gosh this really is so silly I like it.

•Jax makes me hate him more almost every time he opens his mouth.

•DID HE JUST SHOVE RAGATHA IN THE FACE?! AND BLACKMAIL POOR GANGLE?!

•Sorry I’ll stop talking about Jax, I just really don’t like him (love him as a character, pisses me off as a person).

•OH GOSH NOT THE GLITCHING VEHICLE

•Oh no that poor gummy dude! I love his Aussie accent too (I think he’s an Aussie)

•OH SHOOT HE GLITCHED THROUGH THOSE ARE MODELS!

•Yeah that must be unnerving. Poor guy.

•There’s our girl!

•”Under the map” makes me think she designed it. “What are you on about?” Makes me think he IS an AI. But he’s becoming self aware. “Where’s mum…” oh no this poor guy…

•Aw Pomni is being nice to him.

•Well I love this fella already. …but I already know…things…hhhhhhhhhh.

•Hah, Willy Wonks reference.

•OH SHOOT ITS A RAGGEDY ANN MOVIE REFERENCE. Fudge is silly, I kinda love him. But also YIKES HE ATE PEOPLE.

•”Is it really murder if it’s delicious?” FFFFFFF

•I STILL HATE JAX BY THE WAY, please don’t kill me for that. Really only cares about himself, I so badly want to see him get his just desserts. I’m sorry if you love him, I love to hate him, I promise it’s nothing personal

•Poor gummy havin a crisis. I wanna hug him.

•See Pomni is actually nice. Imo anyway. She wants to help she’s just nervous. Attagirl, Pomni. You’re trying your best.

•I’m seeing the I Have No Mouth references. And AW she’s inviting him to come with!!! Good lass.

•POMNI DEVELOPMENT!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! BEST GIRL!!!

•Gummigoo, good lad good lad

•Her knowledge on the programming. Her KNOWLEDGE. EEEEE.

•AWWW THEIR LITTLE SMILES

•This is an oddly pretty landscape here, with the teapots.

•Kinger with a bucket on his head HAHAHA

•”I don’t think she really likes me that much.” Honey if only you saw what ONE EPISODE spawned in regards to art of you two.

•KINGER IS THE TEAM DAD. I REPEAT, KINGER IS THE TEAM DAD! “I remember when you were new here too…” And just like that, he lost it.

•OWCH FUDGE GOT BONKED.

•PFFT ya know as a mildly emetophobic person, I normally hate vomit jokes, but these are kind of funny.

•”Good to see you lads.” AWWW.

•Aw the duplicate worked out.

•”I’m so unbelievably disappointed right now” GOOD, COPE SEETHE MALD

•Pomni is genuinely a sweetie. We can see it now. I love that.

•Also the Princess is lovely, I adore her, hope we see her again.

•Oh shoot. Big boom. OH NO FUDGE.

•NO!!!! GUMMIGOOOOOO!!!! I knew it was coming but STILL.

•It’s so sad that she got all this development and now it seems like she’s back at stage one

•Could gummi have been human after all? Is that why Caine looked horrified???

•BRING HIM BACK PLEASE!!!!

•Awww Zooble’s little comfort.

•Oh shoot, funeral for Kaufmo…that’s so sad… aw… that’s good though. It’s how they keep their humanity.

•LEMME HUG THEM PLEASE!!! AW RAGATHA HONEY ITS OK

•AWWW GANGLE’S DRAWING!! THEY WERE BUDDIES… AAAA

•Even Zooble seems sad. Zooble’s nice deep down too I think, they’re just apathetic. And who can really blame them? When you’re stuck in a digital reality, completely disconnected from your own humanity, sometimes that’s how you cope.

•Notice the only one NOT MOURNING is FRIGGIN JAX. What a dingus.

•I really love seeing a resolution to Pomni’s nightmare, where she realizes that people would miss her, and that they would mourn her if she was gone. I think that’s an important thing for her to realize. I guess she isn’t back at stage one after all.

•I WANT A PLUSHIIIIIIE

•But yeah, this episode was absolutely amazing, it made me feel so many emotions, and I can’t wait to obsess over the TV tropes page with all of its new details!

[got-into-worm-by-mistake]

Arc 27, Reflections

So, I was definitely expecting something a little different for this first round of fighting against Scion.

I think part of it is that I ended up kind of mixing up the Arc 25 and Arc 27 Cauldron meetings, just a little - people talked about 'The' Meeting At Cauldron, but there's two, and each time I saw it may have been about the one, but they each said, or implied the 'The'.

The biggest thing is I honestly wasn't expecting for a big quasi-organized effort to be tried at all. Given the running theme of Worm about Parahumans being unwilling to work together, the fact that they were able to organize this coherent, organized effort to try and fight Scion at all is kind of unexpected. Logical, for once. Understandable, very, but unexpected for the story.

I really got the vibe that like, every group or cluster of groups was trying their own thing and Eidolon is rushing in all his own so sure he's gonna be the one to do it.

My perspective on Eidolon is now significantly different from where I started - sort of hinted at it in earlier liveblog posts, and we'll see more of that change in a bit as the details are revealed to readers not thoroughly spoiled like me, but we'll save the full exploration of that for the retrospective when I'm done reading. (I intend to do a whole 'here's how my opinions of various characters changed from before reading Worm to after reading Worm. And also what didn't change' section of that retrospective).

Scion is almost... pointlessly OP, but that's rather the point, and also just more of a me thing. It's not that I really want every conflict to be resolved by who can conjure the bigger boom but like - Worm really does spend a lot of time on the fight scenes, for all that they are often almost irrelevant in actually resolving the major conflicts of the story. They're both really well written, but also like... do we really need them, in some ways?

I am probably going to be a bit exhausted by Scion's OPness by the time he's finally dead, but we'll have to see.

Knowing what I know, the 'run away and reduce down to village level without trying to fight Scion' approach seems honestly rather silly? Like, can humanity really run and repopulate fast enough to outrun Scion killing them? I really doubt it. And he's got to have all sorts of powers that will let him find where people are hiding, whatever Earth they go to. Once he's out of obvious targets, he's not gonna just stop, one assumes?

(Though really, fuck if anyone knows, because the idiot doesn't really have any purpose in killing either, he just... kills because Heroing wasn't making him feeling better, so let's try killing. Would he eventually realize that won't make him feel any better? How long would that take? For that matter, is there any way Scion could have felt better, ever? Or was him feeling better always going to be impossible? Inquiring minds want to know.)

(I joked over on an SB fic thread that maybe getting a pet would have helped Scion... after suggesting that a well spoken parrot would probably be as good at manipulating Scion as Jack Slash was, because Scion appears to be both incredibly easy and incredibly hard to manipulate. He also seems to have a fondness for listening to complete and utter fucking losers, since Norton was... well, Norton, and Jack is... well, Jack.)

That's all sort of off topic, but anyway...

The return of Sophia was... weird. Taylor is sort of over her, but there really is no narrative resolution to her here and there's no real narrative resolution to Emma. Which like... yes, fine that's realistic, but reality isn't a fucking story? Stories do actually have to follow certain general principles reality doesn't?

It's not so much that I think it's impossible to have a story that doesn't really resolve every detail, and a lack of narrative resolution for Emma/Sophia/Madison is, overall, fine, but like... I am baffled by the people who don't get why a lot of fanfic writers take the time to provide a resolution the canon doesn't.

Cauldron's just... absolutely terrible management of... everything continues to be both hilarious and sad. I just... this is not a group qualified to decide the fate of the world, guys? Granted, you never really can construct a group actually qualified, but the insistence that Doc Mama had on not bringing more people in is weird, and saying that it's out of fear of another Manton feels incredibly weak. She had over a decade of operation before Manton went rogue, why not anyone else?

(Also, How exactly did Mr. Numbers end up working for Cauldron? His interlude didn't really explain that).

But, in Cauldron's defense, they are trying and they are trying hard here. I have no real objections to what they're doing in the 'present day' of Arc 27, broadly speaking their strategies are the best they can do, beyond perhaps their slight overparanoia about drawing Scion's eye too early, I think that was too much concern, but that's a fairly minor quibble by this context.

Thess liveblogs TLOVM S3, Ep 11

Tonight is not a Silent Hill night. Tonight is a "TLOVM, House Flipper 2 or something, and then bed" kind of night. So here we go with the penultimate episode. I fully expect to be shrieking about feeding a writer bees at the end of this.

(Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees…)

Oh dear. Keyleth's not coping very well here…

You couldn't have explained that to her before she tried it?!? That feels like a pretty big fucking caveat to leave vague!

Lady, bullets were not helpful against dragons. Not even in quantity.

Come oooooon, Keyleth - listen to your father!

Oh. Ooooooooh is that why she found the twins?!?

Yep. Yeeeep-- HEY!

No no no no…

C'mon, Korrin! …And you know, don't, you-- waitWUT.

WUT?!?

Nonononono-- Ohthankthegods.

...What the fuuuuuck?!?

Oh.

WHOA.

Aaaaaaaand antlers.

Whoooooa-- wait. Where is she?!?

He … didn't move, did he? At all. I CALLED IT.

No, it isn't an improvement, Kaylie.

Oh, we had to make that pun, didn't we.

N'aww…

YEEEEEES!

Nice flying-- OW!

Oof. That was … a shot.

Oh, the Orthax-arm is baaaack.

They literally stole a shot from Pirates of the Caribbean. Curse of the Black Pearl, I mean.

WaitWHAT?!? NO!

NONONONONO! I'm glad to see Keyleth is okay, but I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WITH THE BLAZING BOOM!

Oh, Grog, ewwwwwww…

Don't say that-- Yeaaaaaah…

See, this is … better. I like this better. NOW SHOW ME-- Yeah. Thank you.

Oh FUCK I forgot about that part of Cabal's Ruin--wait.

Wait, was that--?!?

SHIT NO VAX I KNOW BUT DON'T GET DISTRACTED!

OH SHIT NO.

Nononononono…

Oh. THAT arrowhead.

Now. That's the one through the heart…

…and one through her mouth as she screams.

Did … did they just poke fun at the whole Jack/Rose thing about the Titanic movie?!? REALLY?!?

You figured it out, Vax! Awesome! But … grim, yeah.

Oh, that's gonna be a conversation-- GAH WHAT THE FUCK?!?

…Yeah, Vax, that's another really good way of putting it.

CAN WE ALL CALL IT A DRAW?!? …Or that, thank you, Pike.

N'awww.

"I … don't remember. Words … not working…" And Vax turns into my D&D group's cleric.

Okay wait where the hell is this?

This place is creepy as shit.

…and now we've upped the creepy! Yay!

Is … is that blood?

…Yes. Yes, it is.

Aaaaaaaaand that's the Meteor Swarm.

Erm … no. No, Keyleth. Nonono. Not in the middle of that ritual. Nonono.

Yeaaaaaaah that's gonna be a probleeeeeem…

Ah. Eugene Son again. Hi, Eugene. I won't feed you bees because I saw this coming. And you cannot have killed the entire rest of the party because otherwise Ep 12 would be very short.

Also, I'm sensing a pattern. Every story arc seems to end with a big-ass battle and saving Percy from having his soul eaten. It's a thing.

So. Omn1, then House Flipper 2 probably, then bed. I did have curry, though. And there's even leftovers - partially because I ordered from a different place this time. Older favourite, but that's because the more recent favourite got way more expensive than the other place and stingy with its portions to boot. If I'm going to pay for takeaway, it's going to actually feed me.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - Start!

This is my very first liveblog! I'm replaying the series, so there will be spoilers. Hope you enjoy the ride with me~

I played this game before I even knew anime existed so replaying knowing that Future Luke is Yuri Lowenthal got me PUMPED

I wonder what the beginning of the day was like for Luke and Layton before they headed to the clock shop. "Good morning, Professor! I picked up your mail today, why do you have a letter from me? I haven't even done my 'letter to my inspiration' assignment yet!" No wait that would be so cute if he wrote an anonymous letter to Layton about why he looks up to him.

Wait does Luke even go to school or does Layton homeschool him. I hope it's one of those options KEEP THE CHILD EDUCATED

"I think this mystery might be the oddest one we've ever encountered!" Are. You sure about that, Luke? I dunno, being on a group drug trip in a town with vampire rumors was ODD. And the entirety of the Azran plot...yeah, this mystery may be only an 8/10 on the Oddness Scale.

Layton's expressing how comforting Luke's presence is aww. I wonder if Luke was already showing signs of his uneasiness with having to move away?

I FORGOT LIAM O'BRIEN IS IN THIS GAME. I'm imagining Akihiko with a fake English accent now this is bad for my heart.

PUZZLE 001 OKAY. Only 10 Picarats, ez.

The switch-up in Bill Hawks's voice when speaking to the public?? He puts on a big, booming voice and makes some bs speech about believing in the time machine. Oh brother, this guy STINKS!

Even if I hate him how does he have the most lax security ever. If some guy was like "I want to make the leader of our country go through time with no way of bringing him back" then NO, you don't let him be part of the demonstration!

Oh wow that was all before the Prologue officially began. I think that's enough for this post, though. Until the next one!

Sonic Prime Liveblog For The Same Reasons:

i totally did not stop midway through season one of sonic boom to watch this because i missed my boy ok shut up

—

IT'S BIG!!!!!!

"And then there's Shadow." MY BOYYYYY MY BOY MY BOY HIIII "It's... complicated." HAHA THEY'RE GAY HE'S GAY FOR MY BOY "Sonic! Where've you been?" "Got a little sidetracked" WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND? WITH MY BOY YOUR BOYFRIEND?

Edit: I WAS RIGHT IT WAS WITH MY BOYYYYY

OH THAT CHROMATIC ABERRATION WAS SO GOOD

can't say i'm a huge giant fan of knuckles' original world voice

"That's no whale..." ...that's a space station

—

MY BOY HE'S SUCH A BADASS

—

man, that- the proximity tells such a good story with them. the way they wove together when they ran. the way they ended up standing comfortably side-by-side but stood apart while facing each other. the way they were just close enough to reach out and touch each other while having a [insert synonym for "close-rivally banter/argument" ...bantergumental?] exchange, but each still took a step back to talk more seriously. the way sonic clutched shadow to his heart, when the only other times they've been that close thus far is while they were fighting/when sonic was glad to see him after a traumatic time and he could've easily held him over his shoulder instead. man even. even when shadow was falling away and sonic was chasing him desperately. and after shadow was saved, the way their proximity went from that comfortable "business" distance to a mutually-initiated friendly one. their dynamic is so important to me. i need to sleep

—

also i haven't mentioned but i love how the animation actually feels like a cartoon (as opposed to sonic boom) and also the lighting is my favorite part (especially since light itself is a big symbol associated with what sonic stands for) (also it's just a good mood) (ok i'll sleep now)

—

gonna be honest when deep said they'd be recycling i thought they'd start roboticizing people

—

"You know, after all this time, I think I finally understand you, Sonic." "Whatcha see is whatcha get! Just a guy that loves adventu-" oh wait wrong line

—

falling in the black is such a good song for this

—

man but can i just say: sonic's doublethink about this whole situation has been crazy throughout the whole series

anyway that was hella epic

Ahh sorry your first day at the office is off to a bad start 💔 Hoping that at least you’ll get to work some days at home :)

aw that's super sweet of you but ACTUALLY my first day back in the office was last wednesday. this is just first (and honestly, hopefully only) monday!

the way we've scheduled out the fall semester is that we'll all be in the office 2 days between mon–thurs and then everyone will work remotely on friday's. so my schedule (at the moment, unless it changes) will have me in physically in the office on tuesday's and wednesday's. these first weeks back are just a little different bc we're providing full coverage mon–fri for the start of classes.

Hasan and Karl FINALLT playing it takes two and we’re having. Impromptu family game night this is so fucked up

[mandareeboo]

If you don't mind me asking, since you're about half way through the season, do you have any big theories for Dead End so far?

Hmmm, nothing I can really say that I haven't mentioned in the liveblog- the stunt double was used as fodder to whatever was chasing "Pauline" in episode one, Courtney's home isn't the demon realm/she had another found family before, I assume that the disappearing lookalikes are something Pauline did to keep her youth or smth idk.

I DO have a joke-theory that because the Night Hag didn't technically undo her magic (just left) all the affected characters are just perpetually fighting insomnia now. Like went from sleeping normally to BOOM insomnia.

[katierosefun]

convoluted superheroes but make it disaster lineage au, some thoughts on their origin stories and how they would become a team: 

“caroline shouldn’t you be writing or reading for your irish lit class” 

“yes but i had a thought” 

no, this isn’t necessarily a marvel au because i feel like crossing.......the mcu and star wars, which are already big franchises, just messes with my head? plus,,,,the mcu just has such distinct character archetypes that i can’t really fit neatly with the clone wars, so here’s just a super convoluted au that could honestly just work as an entirely different story on its own and probably only has enough in common with tcw by like,,,,a thread, but ANYWAYS I AM HERE WITH MORE THOUGHTS OF AN AU AND YOU JUST HAVE TO SUFFER WITH ME!

okay, so anakin’s story is kinda bizarre: 

i mean, he’s the chosen one in star wars and all that with all these freaky far-reaching abilities with the force so i’m not gonna take that away from him--so idk in this universe i’m just gonna say that he’s gonna be like....a mimic. i feel like he would be the kind of person who just steps into a room and absorbs / can mimic the abilities of any other powered human in the room, only like,,,amplify it. he’s tricky to catch because of that, because no one knows what power he might absorb next. 

but i feel like while anakin can certainly show off with this, i think he’ll also at least attempt to be a little private about this? (lmao we know he’s gonna fail though, because  ily anakin  but you’re the worst at keeping secrets). i feel like he would compensate for all the fancy gadgets + stuff, or sometimes just swing into rooms and be like “anyways guys i came up with a new thing” and everyone always stares at him because for some reason, everyone forgets that anakin skywalker is, in fact, a genius who doesn’t necessarily need his powers to be extraordinarily powerful. there’s more to him than just his weird powers, you guys. 

right, so obi-wan: 

every superhero team needs the wise intellectual, and i feel like obi-wan will always be that one person. i feel like his powers would have to complement anakin’s rather well though, since they’re,,,y’know. the team. oh wait shit-- 

okay okay okay (sorry, this is me really just kinda liveblogging my stream of consciousness), but like?? if anakin can amplify powers, i think of obi-wan being the one to muffle them. like, i feel like just touching someone and suddenly boom, no more powers. you’re now forced to fight obi-wan on even ground (lmao). obi-wan doesn’t necessarily absorb the powers like himself, he just...knows how to quiet them enough so that for the next little while, the opponent is absolutely useless. 

i feel like a lot of people wind up underestimating obi-wan that way,,,at first. everyone makes that mistake, but then everyone realizes that oh yeah, anakin skywalker? dangerous dude. but obi-wan kenobi? if you don’t catch where you’re looking, you could very well end up dead if he wanted. 

our feral gremlin ahsoka: 

well, every team needs the youngster who everyone on the team loves, right? idk maybe it’s because of the togruta biology and something about togruta being more balanced than like,,,humans that makes me want ahsoka to be the ultimate stealth person. when i say this, i mean like duh she’s got incredible balance, but i think it would be super cool if she was able to just like.........move through walls. no one ever sees her coming because first of all, she’s kinda small, but second of all,,,,again: you could just be chilling at your computer and suddenly there’s a short girl standing behind you because she just phased through the wall what the-- 

like most teenage superheroes, ahsoka def. seems kinda excited about being the superhero? also mildly exhausted. idk dude, you try doing calc homework and writing a history paper when you’re also trying to keep the world from being taken over by....robots or zombies or whatever. 

some other thoughts that i have but have yet to flesh out because i should probably actually get back to work now: 

rex also absolutely has superpowers, but don’t you dare call him a sidekick. idk why, but i kinda want rex to be one of those people who creates literal earthquakes, kind of like quake from agents of shield. 

cody’s sole superpower is putting up with all the bullshit the rest of the team has. he doesn’t really care he doesn’t have powers, and tbh, everyone’s mildly terrified of the day cody ever gets hit with a freak accident that might make him have powers. 

well, every superhero story needs some reporter of some kind, right? ceo of some big news company padme amidala, who occasionally talks to anakin skywalker and absolutely knows his secret identity within like 2 minutes. 

actually, i totally forgot about whether the superheroes in this world would have secret identities.

i’ve decided. they all have secret identities. 

anakin’s the disaster engineer research person. no one really takes him seriously at work because he’s so freakishly young, but joke’s on them, because he’s saved everyone from evil robots at least ten times now. 

obi-wan by default is always going to be the tired english professor. he knows anakin because anakin’s research facility is literally within the same radius of the university campus. 

ahsoka goes to the high school nearby the school. she absolutely did not mean to meet anakin and obi-wan and rex, but okay, she just saw the fire in the school library and someone had to pull the students out, so it had to be her, and she might have tried to pull obi-wan and anakin out before obi-wan accidentally muffled her powers and then anakin got her powers, and then they were all SCREECHING AT EACH OTHER BECAUSE 

“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO” 

“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING” 

“WAIT YOU HAVE POWERS?” 

“WAIT DO YOU?” 

“CAN WE DO THIS LATER???” 

[themetalvirus]

im basically liveblogging sonic boom rn sorry but DAMN s2 apparently had a big bump in animation quality, must have had a bumped up budget or something
