The series 4 Timlord action figure with robes that do not match any of the Chapters's is a pre .S.W.i.H./.S.G.T.W. and .T.W.i.H./.T.&L.G.T.W. Timelord diplomat. Given Timelord pomp and ceremony and the standard diplomatic tactic of showing a united front they would have a seperate non Chapter based set of robes. What was worn to the Venue Accords.

I’ve been a huge lover of all of your Bridgerton AU’s (The Polin ones are just 🤌) and The Seasonal Wives AU is just so !!!!! I’m absolutely in love with it and already so excited to see how the brothers react to the new priestesses 👀

SEASONAL WIVES MY BELOVED! While Spring's Rebirth is my baby, Seasonal Wives has to be my next favorite of the aus.

Speaking of the au . . . I should add the next part.

The girls' main worry is that the cermonial robes for the companion of the season was more showy than their normal robes. More specifically, their chests where the mark of seasons used to go over the companion's heart. What ultimately ended up being decided was the girls would use makeup to hide Kate's birthmark. Can't risk offending one of the seasons just because your birthmark just so happens to look like one of the marks of old.

For the ceremony, Kate would need to meet the season upon the first day of fall at the border between the world of mortals and immortals. Dressed in the colors of fall, she is to be followed by her three "bride's maids," aka other pristesses, who will sing the ceremonial hymns and act as witnesses.

On the first day of fall, Kate knelt at the border with her friends behind her at three different points, forming a half circle. Her veil covered her face and slightly obscured her vision. She wondered what her friends were seeing from their standing positions. Their faces were also covered by veils, but she remembers other pristesses saying that they could never see the land beyond the border. Often, it looked like you were looking into a foggy mirror or murky water.

Woof! Woof!

Kate blinked. Was that a dog barking?

Woof! Woof!

"Oh!" Kate gasped as a small, fat, mass of corgi ramed right into her. One arm wrapped around the dog while the other flung out to steady herself.

Her friends faltered in the hymn, but she waved that she was alright.

The corgi wiggled happily in her lap, tail wagging, his snout kept trying to lift or remove Kate's veil.

"Newton!" A voice called.

Looking up Kate could see a man she's only seen from a far before. The Season of Fall. He was rather handsome up close with his dark chestnut hair, and a presence that would leave no one guessing who was I'm charge.

The corgi, now dubbed Newton, whined, burying himself further into Kate's lap.

Fall sighed and knelt down. He took hold of Kate's veil to lift up as his next part in the ceramony. "I apologize for him. Usually, he doesn't leave my side."

"It is alright, my lord," Kate said, her vision now becoming clearer without the veil in the way.

Fall froze. "Kate?" He whispered.

The hymn stopped. Kate stared at the season. How did he know her name? One of the final steps of the ceremony was for her to give him her name. Also, there was something familiar? His brown eyes looked scared like he was in a dream, and soon, he might wake up, but also, there was a tiny spark of something else, hope?

A name came to Kate. "Anthony?"

Anthony? Who was Anthony?

Fall yanked Kate into his arms, Newton trapped between them, though the corgi seemed to like it. Kate glanced over her shoulder at her friends who all seemed ready to step forward.

Fall caught the movement and released one arm and loosened the other just enough so Kate could see better. He sent a wave of wind just strong enough to knock off the other veils of Kate's friends.

If Fall looked like he was in a dream before now he looked like he was seeing the dead come back to life.

"You're all alive," he muttered.

What?

New Year, New Character 2: Day 27

Selendti Wayfinder, Emotional Support Mage, Age of Sigmar: Soulbound “Sir, that is my emotional support mage, I'm going to have to ask you put the Aelf back on the ground. Safely.” - Adria Gage Selendti Wayfinder served as one of many Cathallars in the gleaming cities of Zaitrec. It had not been her first calling; insatiable curiosity had prompted her to initially seek purpose as a Loreseeker before it became necessary for her to switch paths. She served loyally, if not with enthusiasm, for many years. Still, never truly at peace with herself and unable to balance desire against duty, she volunteered for Soulbinding. It was, in many ways, a selfish way of avoiding the duties laid out for her. Despite that, she finds she provides much needed balance to the binding. Which, given some of her companions, is quite handy.

A Study of Discworld

Humor (pt 1?)

So one thing I noticed about Pratchett is how he weaves humor into everything, mostly descriptions.

1 Starting with the mundane stuff (setup) and ending with the most important thing (punchline).

Color of Magic:

"The guard followed the coins that fell one by one along the dark alley. The rest fell on his head all at once, still in the bag."

Light Fantastic:

"Does that mushroom look strange to you?"

"Is it the tall stalk?"

"No."

"The wide cap?"

"No."

"The frilly gills?"

"No, I mean the door and windows."

Equal Rites:

"You could tell he was a wizard because of his long robes and careen staff, and the fact that rain steamed off a foot above his head."

This is an inversion of efficient writing - instead of only using the importaint details to create an impression in minimal words, you intentionally put less relevant stuff in the way to set up a comical twist.

2 Changing the word type, eg onomatopeia into an adjective, or adjectives into adverbs - especially if it ends with -y:

Equal Rites:

"[...] the wizard would sigh, pick up his staff, and continue on his squelchy progress."

Sourcery:

"[Wuffles] waded over painfully, squinting shortsightedly."

3 Not using the first comparison that comes to mind, but digging for an unexpected one:

Color of Magic:

"He had a massive body and a small head with a mop of wild hair, like a tomato on a coffin."

Equal Rites:

"She thrust her hand and the braclets clashed like a percussionist section tumbling down a cliff."

Guards! Guards!:

"[Carrot] raised himself like a barn."

"[Sybil] bore down uppon [Sam] like a glittering siege engine. [...] Her boosom rose and fell like empires."

4 Describing inanimate things as if they're animated:

Color of Magic:

"The words backed up in Rincewind's throat, afraid to go out into the dangerous world."

Equal Rites:

"The storm walked on legs of lightning, shouting and grumbling."

"The conversation wandered off like a puppy."

5 Puns:

"Mazda Fingers, the frst thief, stole fire from the gods. He couldn't fence it. It was too hot. He realy got burned on that deal."

"[Vimes] didn't like cermonial armor. It was gilt by association."

"[Vetinari] didn't administer a reign of terror, just the occasional light shower."

"The Ramkins were more highly bred than a hilltop bakery."

Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers: The Case of the Cola Cult Review: Come Along, You Belong! (Comission for WeridKev27)

Come along, you belong you happy people! If your just seeing this blog for the first time I”m Jake and i’m an aging nerd who reviews cartoons, comics and other stuff 3 times a week. And after a few days off to recharge that ended up being “Me sitting in bed with a cold watching old simpsons, playing animal crossing and getting ready for next week..” it’s time to come back and just in time as sometimes, some films drop on Disney +, but your producer/patron/guy what hires you for work the most wants to do a tie in. Yes today marks the release of the new Chip N Dale film. And granted I COULD just review that day one.. but i’d rather let the film sit for a bit... or more likely for me forget to watch it for some time and still haven’t months later like Turning Red, which you are free to boo me on as you should. 

So instead since i’ve already looked at the pilot, Kev is having me look at one of the series most infamous and most loved episodes: The Case of the Cola Cult. Just in case you thought the movie was insane what with it’s having an evil peter pan clone voiced by bojack horseman as an antagonist, cgi timone or just in general existing, here’s a friendly reminder the orignal series not only tackled cults, but did so mostly straight. I mean it still involves soda jingles, ninjas and a suction cup tank, but the fact the show not only went after such a dark topic but did so brilliantly for the time is amazing. Just amazing. So i’m more than happy to share this milestone of television with ya’ll after the cut! Content Warning: This episode being reviewed was about cults. It’s in the title. So if you’ve had a bad past experince with cults or have a loved one who has best steer clear of this one. 

So the story begins as you’d expect a story about a cult to start.. with our heroes rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go gotta follow their rainbow as they test out gadget’s newest baby: the Rescuemobile, aka a roller skate with some sort of engine. Contrary to what I expected the plot dosen’t kick off because Gadget forgot to install breaks.. but instead the more clever “They fell off about two miles back”. 

Our heroes crash and two towns over a himbo duck feels like he missed something. They’ve ended up in the Coo Coo Cola Factory, where they nearly get attacked by ninjas

And get attacked by Bubbles, a large intimidating rat in a mask who couldn’t be screaming “i’m the bad guy can ya tell?” any harder if he’d come in riding the Jokermobile, blaring “I can’t decide” and throwing the mouse equilvent of a puppy out the window while he did. 

He’s stopped by Pop Top whose our cult leader for the episode. Pop Top is voiced by Dale’s VA Corey Burton while Bubbles is voiced by Disney GOAT Jim Cummings pre taking over as montery again later in the series. Sadly he did NOT show up on Amphibia before it bowed out, but he might have some time for Owl House. We still got 5 episodes to go.... god we have only five episodes left...

Anyways Pop Top, love the name, shows them around and as one article pointed out, the cult’s design is based heavily of the ranjesshe cult from the robes, which get colorful during a cermony using soda, the way they operate and just general design. When asked about this one of the writers of the ep said it wasn’t WRITTEN that way.. but he can’t speak for design, and given said cult was one of the more promient at the time, i’m thinking this is less a concidence

Speaking of which while the episode’s anti cult message is about as subtle as a Ralph

There is a nice little consmuerum dig at how marketing can sometimes go to extremes, with a WHOLE ASS CULT forming.. because a bunch of mice saw a catchy jingle that says “come along, you belong” and that you “belong” to it. It honestly dosen’t sound that out of bounds for the 80s, especially given Spuds McKckenzie exists.. and in case your wondering who that is here’s the webcomic something positive to fill you in

So yeah cult like cola commericals are entirely plausable. It’s only a small jab but it works. 

The Rangers are naturally suspcious because unlike most cults they don’t even bother to hide the name. They literally just call themselves the cola cult. Even fi it dosen’t hlep them get more cultists I gotta admire their honesty. Most cults take the side door, this one comes up front and knocks. The fact it’s various cola cultists give up everything just sets off more alarm bells but with nothing other than 

They depart, though Pop Tart offers to let them come back any time. 

So at home Gadget works on another new invetion with low saftey percuations: a really big magnet. Perfect for fighting Rom, Space Knight. The boys razzing her abou tit naturally going haywire gets to gadget a bit, and as you can probably tell this is a gadgetcentric episode: while the others have plenty to do this focuses on her and does so VERY well. It takes what seems to be a common trope, her invetions having some flaw to them and deconstructs it: for one science is built on trying and trying again... but it can be hard when you have two voices in your ear telling you your a screw up. The boys don’t mean anything by it, paticuarlly Dale whose just always like this. But you can only hear this sort of thing so long before it brekas you a bit and this episodes going to break gadget hard. 

But first one of the cultists shows up, needing their help. Said magnet incident distracts them and this is par tof WHy the episode works: our heroes do’nt snap at gadget for no reason or to be dicks. Her invetions have geninly backfired and put a client in danger. At the same time though she coudln’t of KNOWN a client could walk in and testing these things out is important. It’s not some one sided making a character dick for funsies nonsense. It’s well thought out. 

So naturally the fall comes when Bubbles, as we find out later, sabotages her rescue rover, her new baby that’s basically a giant wheel with plungers on it. 

Causing them all to tumble and barely be saved by Zipper... who at least shows himself to be a true badass by stretching a blanket himself, with all his strength across bottles to make a makeshift parachute. 

Like I didn’t expect zipper, who I frequently forgets exists, to be THIS badass. 

Gadget is crestfallen and retires... and her depression is just.. heartbreaking. To see this vibrant young lady just.. broken, feeling useless, and the next day planning on LEAVING, feeling she has nothing to offer without her invetions.. it’s heartbreaking and once again Rescue Rangers avoids the pitfalls other shows have slammed into with this type of plot: the rest of the team is devistated, feels bad for what they caused, and TRIES to cheer her up. She leaves not because of any silly misunderstanding but because their man on the inside of the cult shows back up and Gadget slips out because they HAVE to tend to him, and even then it’s clear they’d rather make sure she stays. 

So our heroes plan to sneak into the cult as Cult Guy Whose Name I Forgot And didnt bother to look back up leads them. Meanwhile we get at truly heartening scene with Gadget as she mopes in the rain.. and right into the arms of the cola cult who are capering with music outside in the rain

And take her in. And this again shows how the episode gets cults: They take in people who need to feel they belong, who need to fill the void in their lives somehow, and often they find the people most lost in some way and fill that void. Granted in the case of this cartoon Pop Top is GENUINELY trying to help her, more on that in a minute, but it still works: a lot of cultists often bring people deeper without realizing what their doing till it’s too late. 

So she goes in and her friends are geninely shocked she’s doing this.. but have no way to help her. Their sneaking in and hopefully what their doing will stop this. It parallels how many people feel helpless to help their loved one incults.. or maybe it’s just mildly sloppy writing in a children’s show that’s already done this well so far out of their depth. I dunno. 

So they end up getting fizzed, while Gadget decides she dosen’t belong.. and then gets kidnapped by Bubbles. Our heroes naturally find everyone’s stuff and assume pop top did it.. as did I. 

Yeah turns out Bubbles is behind it.. because of course he is. 50% of all Jim’s roles have him playing some evil bastard. It’s in his resume: Jim cummings, plays evil bastards and also a duck. This is mixed for me. On the one hand the swerve, having the Cult exploited is neat.. but it also kinda muddies the message. Cults.. arne’t innocent. They take people’s lives away, scam innocents, and generally are predatory scum. Simpsons got this with the movementarians episode while still being hilarous.. in part because they made the mistake of trying to recruit homer and had to put in the extra work. That and it has Hans Moleman getting eaten by rover. Some things you don’t know you need til lthey happen even when your a 12 year old who has no idea what the prisoner is and as an adult still hasn’t seen it. 

So he plans to drown their asses, this time putting them in bottles but gadget escapes.. and then gets EXCEPTIONALLY badass as she procedes to make her gyrothing into a FUCKING TANK SUCTION CUP TANK, armoring it and arming herself to the teeth with her gadgets, mowing down the cult’s ninjas with her magnet, other gadgets and sheer badassery. There is only one god.. and it’s her. 

It’s also cathartic as hell after an episode of watching her beat up. It helps bubbles.. is a very stupid villian. He has no real plan for a smooth transition of cult leadership, outright TELLS GADGET WHAT HE DONE DID, and looses the tape.. thanks to gadget I feel or just it going out but still... the only reason he got as far as he did is he’s voiced by jim cummings and that only gets you so far. 

So Gadget exposes bubbles and kicks his ass and then she fucking kicks his ass, and Pop Top wonders what now, while the rangers say you don’t need a cult as long as you belong somewhere. 

Final Thoughts: 

This was a REALLY good episode. The concept is both silly and really nicely takes cults apart and I supsect pop top being innocent was simply the need for a more black and white morality in these types of cartoons. There wasn’t room for any moral greys in a cartoon like this.. yet. Still it’s a great episode and Tress really gets to show off her range as gadget, the koo koo cola song is now embeded in my head and it eased me back into work nicely. All in all a solid review and if you’d like to comission one just like it, hit me up in my ask box and come along with coo coo cola.

Azul would have been Jade bc I have two SSRs to work on for him but I just cleared all Jade’s class missions so... Azul’s Halloween and Cermony Robes cards are going to get some love lol

Other two are working on their Birthday SSRs.

[sofibeth-arts]

Kinda wanted to give shot at redesigning this class. I luv the concept but man I really don’t like the design much. (also Claude and Dimitri reactions lol)

More Detail under the cut:

Moreso female Byleth’s outfit compare to Male felt lazy to me with just plattering the holy stuff on her merc outfit. (compare to Male getting a priest robe). However I still wanted to keep the battle hard war priestess angle they were prob going for so I kept the base and added from there. Male Byleth is actually fine for me minus the giant white robe so I switch to a small cape with Jeralt symbol cause why not. (I could see the robe being used for cermonial but in battle nope that’s gonna cut your view!)

Also Rhea’s flowers, just cause it looks nice :)

The words are ‘cold feet’

The figure slowly approaches walking calmly the two earrings dangling from his ears the cermonial robe shifting slightly in the wind a smirk on his face. “What did you think i wasnt going to show. Hmph maybe you have little faith in statera and uccidere backing out last second but not I. You may call the fusion of statera and uccidere as uccatera.”

66 Hands on 66 Bibles

The United States was founded in opposition to monarchs, whose coronations are quasi-religious ceremonies heavy on jewels, crowns, robes and scepters. A president, chosen by the people, from among the people, requires no props other than a plain English Bible, and swears his allegiance to the Constitution. It’s been that way for 224 years, a tradition that even this least traditional of president-elects wouldn’t dare break. (Jerry Adler/Yahoo News)

Extra explanation for the cermonial robe

I heard the art book has explanations for cermonial robe cards, so imma make something like that too

Carole is seeing Riddle going to catch Grim. He turned his head and reached his hand as if saying "Huh? Riddle, wait!" But stopped reaching as he knew he can't stop Riddle

Reve is seeing Grim having havoc in the ceremony. He is surprised, but is trying to keep cool. He has this "Hm?" expression as he sees the weird situation
