#brendan~chan

[eyesoffthemaud]

Maybe I'm having this thought because I'm early in the series. But I feel like Kawaii~Chan and Brendan should've gotten together in MCD.

Like, bro literally built her a house...A HOUSE GODDAMMIT

HE ALSO DRESSED UP AS A MAID MAN TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER AFTER SHE HELPED CADENZA!!

[dilftesbiggestfan]

Brendan is who people think Dante is (Mystreet)

Brendan two timed Nana and Lucinda, helped her out only because he had interest in getting with her and dating her, and only started working at the beach so he can see her in a bathing suit, he objectified her and was a creep.

Meanwhile Dante canonically hasn’t been on a date since Highschool most likely since Nana, genuinely enjoyed spending time with Nana, comforted her after seeing her cry and offered to help her rebuild the house after it burned down, even offering her a place to stay, in love love paradise he was eating brunch with her and Lucinda and just hanging out as friends, helped her set decorations up, without the intent of wanting to date her or objectifying her, he just enjoyed spending time with her cause he genuinely liked her as a person. :)

Still cringe, still free

I got reminded of how much I liked this scene of all the villagers panicking because dark magic is happening

[lucky-guess]

What some dynamics between the characters?

Dorian and Zenix were practically father-son and/or brothers with a large age gap in dynamic.

Dante calls Aphria his sister, but they can't agree on who's the older sibling for a while so they say "twins". It isn't until the 15 year timeskip that Dante is officially the older brother and it hurts. I can go on for a while about these two but that's for another time.

Cadenza acts like Aphria's adoring sister-in-law in all circumstances.

Malachi is an overprotective big brother(and son) to his whole family.

Kiki and Brendan also claim Aph as their sister. They will argue with Dante over it.

Aaron and Laurance have a one sided hatred situation. It's not hard to guess with side hates which.

Laurance and Katelyn started off not trusting each other and ended up as besties.

Zoey is Malachi and Levin's second mom.

Sasha and Laurance were best friends that teased and flirted before... they can't stand eachothers presence for long anymore.

Kanna and Nicole consider each other family. I will not be specific here.

[duin-i-guess]

Its that day.

I don't have much to say, its valentine's day I guess.

So I'll just put some ships I like, you've already seen some but whatever.

:Aaron x Jeffory, because obviously:

:Kacey x Vylad, It just makes sense to me:

:mcd Dante x Nana, i'm a sucker for blue and pink being together, I also find the ship Wholesome:

:Ein x Blaze, purely from mini games and Angelsville:

:Table x everyone, because:

:mcd Brendan x Laurance, cuz I want it to be less of a joke ship now:

Song Review(s): Blues Traveler - “Run-Around,” “Things are Looking Up” -> “Optimistic Thought” (Live, Nov. 21, 2023)

Ever iconoclastic, Blues Traveler got the necessary out of the way first, opening its Nov. 21 concert in the Ryman with “Run-Around.”

With that taken care of, John Popper and company got down to more-serious business, pairing “Things are Looking Up” with “Optimistic Thought” in a seamless transition that found Traveler nodding to the Blues that is its first name.

While Popper’s voice and harmonica are the band’s indispensable qualities, this paring, shared as a free, livestream sampler from the band’s tour closer, belonged to bassist Tad Kinchla, whose funky plucking and slapping gave “Things” and “Thought” the drive they needed as the band launched into “Moby Dick.” This, unfortunately, is cut after the opening measure, proving what they say about beggars and choosers.

Zep or no Zep, this giveaway from the band’s tour closer left Sound Bites wanting more. And that’s the sign of show-biz professionalism, with iconoclasm on the side.

Grade card: Blues Traveler - “Run-Around,” “Things are Looking Up” -> “Optimistic Thought” (Live - 11/21/23) - C/A-/B+

MOVIE REVIEW: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)

Review written Nov 9 2009, rediscovered 2023, and posted unaltered. G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra (2009) Directed by Stephen Sommers I am a hardcore GI Joe fan, but only Real American Hero and its continuations. As such I am very critical of some of the liberties taken with the characters in this movie, but in the end I was pretty satisfied with the movie. Read on! Rise Of Cobra is interesting in…

MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS 2018

We have a scourge upon our land. 'Tis worse than pestilence and famine. 'Tis a woman with a crown.

[techspeed]

I really recommend checking out some old silent films! The medium was very new, but the language of film that we still use today was already developing. Comedy especially holds up really well. Buster Keaton films, in particular his short films such as One Week (1920), or Cops (1922), are a great place to start.

i really can’t stress enough how much i recommend regularly engaging with older art– movies, books, whatever. like, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it” and all that, but also, there’s just something really fascinating and kind of beautiful about reading something written by someone who lived so long ago and really connecting with it, recognizing the humanity of people who once seemed like abstract concepts to you

A comprehensive thought dump by two idiots about MCD season 1 upon recent rewatch 9 years later.

Aphblr has lied to me.

for years I have been told that Jessica Bravura’s Minecraft diaries is the superior watch to her other main series Mystreet which is just simply untrue as of my rewatch of the series 9 years after watching it for the first time.

true to the art form and writing style popular at the time MCD is a jumbled mess of things just happening with no clear connection and in some cases direction.

so many wasted opportunities because we are put promptly into the perspective of Aphmau. A character with very little substance and is shaped by the characters around her rather than the characters own actions.

the most interesting characters and concepts remaining firmly in the background. Such as Dale and Molly’s struggle with their daughter being turned into a shadow knight.

Brian’s sudden and barely built up betrayal of his family.

Kiki’s daughter being Zane lets be so real that child is literally just Zianna 2.0 (oh but Madi she’s a werewolf! Idc Cope.)

to Logan and Donna’s love story.

Most characters in the for front don’t talk about there own trauma’s or really anything there feeling outside of there love feelings for or about Aphmau.

Even as the production value went up I find the most interesting arc is the pikoro arc. As it showed genuine comradely between our main characters and established a clear dynamic. Only for the Scaleswind war arc to completely ruin that by making Garroth lose all rational thinking and an extreme entitlement to Aphmau. Writing it as if Zane brainwashed it doesn’t make the uncomfortable and frustration go away.

Zane was a good villain, while motives are fairly unclear he had a genuine presence and had fairly smart well executed plans. (Ein is definitely not a better villain.)

Something that stuck out to me; was how much of the plot probably could’ve been solved with the poorly thought out magic system, specifically Kawaii-Chan.

Kawaii-Chan practices forbidden soul magic and is able to give inanimate objects a conscious. So Lion point out something interesting; couldn’t she just trap parts of the main characters soul in a doll and just, save them incase the worst happens? Imagine what she could do with relics.

Every time Lucinda is on screen I fear what comes out of her mouth. Because I’m just going to ask later “why can’t she just do this?”.

anyway here’s a list of our favorite characters in no particular order;

chicken shamen

Brendan

Logan

Yip

Donna

Katelyn

Things I Have Noticed/Remembered from my MCDiaries rewatch

I will be updating this as I continue my rewatch, currently everything listed is out of order, cause I've started writing this as I am on episode 64 of season 1 and I don't feel like fixing it to be in order, so sorry!

What the fuck was Garroth's "plan" he mentions to Zenix in the first episode 😭

Zenix seems to be younger then Garroth in Diaries, considering the way that Garroth talks about him, but I think in MyStreet, Zenix is either the same age or slightly older then Garroth, so far this is like, the only obvious age difference between the series (besides Travis and everyone else of course)

I forgot how entertaining Brendan's character is, he's far less annoying then I remembered

ZANE AS AN ACTUAL BAD PERSON, I LOVE HIM

I love Vylad, but I legit forgot how much he was in Diaries season 1, I thought he was in it far less

Currently at the stage of Diaries where there is no lgbt+ people, i'm very disappointed by this (we haven't even reached the queerbaiting)

KC's character is....not as bad (racist) as I was expecting, still not great though. I'm choosing to believe that KC is from Tu'lu and Maid Cafes are a thing there, and "Kawaii~Chan" is just a stage name for her work.

Y'all know how Cadenza went missing and she was actually turned into a chicken? Yeah, the way Hayden, Castor, & Laurance talk about her to Aphmau makes it sound like Cadenza is a small child. But then it turns out she's the same age, if not older, then Laurance and Aphmau.

Aphmau should've just made Joh and Hayden lovers, I'm so serious, it would make the whole Cadenza and Laurance being "close like siblings" in season 1 to I think actually being called as siblings in season 2 and in MyStreet a lot easier to understand and make a lot more sense.

Why does Kenmur have like, some sort of romance with all the girls from Meteli??? He was engaged to Sasha and is stated to have feelings for Cadenza.

I love when the episodes open from Sasha's POV, and she goes and talks to Gene and there's just no voices. I love having to pause to read what they're saying. (this point is sarcasm)

The way literally everyone reacted to learning Laurance was blind was....icky. Like, I understand Cadenza and Aphmau reacting as like "we need to find a way to bring his sight back", but the fact that it was literally EVERYONE who decided he needed to get his sight back was so weird.

I don't mind Laurance ACTUALLY getting his sight back, but I wish it was done differently. Like, personally, I'd have him like, have to wash his face with the water of the fountain of Lady Irene.

Emma & Corey, Dale & Molly, and Logan & Donna are very sweet couples.

After Zoey and KC were able to turn Cadenza back to her human form, Zoey mentions that she "recognizes Cadenza from somewhere", but I don't think this goes anywhere???? I'm assuming it was supposed to hint at like, Cadenza's backstory.

ngl, I kinda wish we got more of Zane and Kiki's relationship, I really wanna know what side of Zane Kiki actually saw.

Anyway, Kiki is currently expecting.

Nicole (my beloved) has showed up. I've decided I won't question the logic behind her iron fists being able to break bedrock, and instead say that her referencing her iron fists just made me think of Ace from One Piece and Natsu & Gajeel from Fairy Tail.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT NICOLE'S FOX, ROXY, AND ABOUT THE WYVERNS IN GENERAL 😭

I need to mention that in one episode (before Aphmau went to Scaleswind and learned about Lady Irene), Garroth says to Aphmau "by the seven", which I think she was hurt, but the use of "by the seven" is similar to how the same phase would be used in Game of Thrones or to how irl lots of people say "oh my god", so I'm really wondering if there were originally supposed to be 7 Divine Warriors instead of 6.

The way when Aphmau found Levin and decided to keep him and Garroth IMMEDIATLY decided he would be Levin's father figure.

The way when Laurance found out that Aphmau had a kid, his response was to play with Levin and say to Aphmau "you didn't tell me you had this little buddle of joy/energy".

That's all for now, I'll like, update when I have more to add.
