The laziest compilation of thoughts about the mess that was Alice (spoilers)

I finish a lot of shitty dramas. Like a lot. I could review them, but I won’t bc there’s too many and I’m too lazy (when you ff some dramas from 45min to 5 per episode it doesn’t really count as watching too many dramas bc it’s really a commercial break, lol). Some I watch for the so bad it’s good content, or love hate watching or just to have something to watch while I eat, even if they’re boring af. It’s also a tiny bit of ocd bc I need to see how they end (even the ones I drop I check out the finale). I only drop the ones that as Marie Kondo says *Do Not Spark Joy, more specifically...annoy me and make me cranky.

I sometimes bitch about it on DMs with ranty spoilers without structure and that reference other unrelated dramas or shows, because ADHD and my mind refuses to stay on topic, which would make it probably unintelligible except if you are in the niche who happens to have watched the other unrelated dramas, so it’s probably useless as a review.

That said, here are some random disconnected thoughts about Alice.

MAJOR SPOILER ALERTS BEWARE

(this is like partly copypaste of DM rants bc I am that lazy biatch. Also, fair warning I will seem super harsh or this drama because that’s the thing about a bitching dm versus a proper review... I am not bringing up all the points and talking about the good and what I liked as well as the bad, it’s just the bad...and although the drama is imo a mess, it does have some good in it. So if it were a review I’d always argue pros and cons...ranty thoughs who cares about pros? boring..I will not be bothered with devil’s advocate).

This was fascinating to watch, interesting but not good... but like a trainwreck.

I continued watching this mess despite the headache inducing convoluted plot (I watched a lot of timetravel stuff and I love it...encompassing all the theories about it, from butterfly effect, to effectively changing the future (with characters forgetting it or keeping it in memory because “eye of the storm” theory, the “efforts are futile and you can try to change it but the future is set in stone”, to “small changes can be made but big events are fixed points in time”, to “every change creates a new time line” and multiverse, etc... and trust me, all of them can be done well when well written or turn out a confusing illogical mess and that has nothing to do with the theory chosen, but with presenting how time travel works for that story and what the basic rules are and sticking to them...or when something happens that contradicts them, come up with an explanation as to why that happens.

I don’t mean the drama should be an exposition borefest with too much pseudosciency jargon...but this drama gives you too little in the way of rules and the viewers sort of figure out how timetravel works (which is not bad per se, huge fan of show don’t tell...but there’s a limit to how much they cannot tell or the characters chose not to ask just for the sake of plot and not without any logic to it). Anyways, the little “rules” that we gather along the way...the writing doesn’t stick to them and keeps contradicting itself without addressing or explaining it and hoping we’re so confused we don’t notice. Some dramas you just say “eh, forget it, it doesn’t make sense, let’s turn off our brains and enjoy it”, but here if I wanted to try and follow what was going on at all it required “brain on” mode for their convoluted plot twists...which also made me aware of so may plotholes the time road should have looked like Swiss Cheese. I could go into them...but I cannot be bothered and the list would be extensive and still incomplete, so I will just put 3 here bc I can’t help it:

1) Hot Daddy with emotional turmoil the entire drama of “Oh no, I abandoned her in 92 and regretted it, it happened 1 year ago for me, and now I find out she died in 2010. How was she, did she suffer? What did she know? Oh god, if only I were a time traveler eventually going rogue who could show up and talk to her any time in the timeline between 92 and 2010...Alas, I have to live in misery with the consequences of my actions...there is just ABSOLUTELY no way of solving this. I guess I’ll just keep making unauthorized time travel journeys from 2050′s time agency back to the year of 2020 and only 2020 to constantly be blindsided by murder attempts on everyone everywhere without having a clue to what’s going on when I could simply go back to before 2010 and talk to the one person who is proven to know what is going on.” Here is where there could be a bullshit reason as to why he could go only go to 2020 and not before, but the drama didn’t even bother.

2) They say Tae Yi’s mom was originally a time traveler who settled with her physicist dad in the past, eventually making way for her to discover time travel herself. The mom is missing and this is never addressed again.

3) The book...who wrote it? Because I have guesses but they never outright answer it... and if the biatch author knew that stuff why the alice in wonderland stupid analogies?

Coward, or petty, or both.... or maybe just a chaos gremlin godlike entity who wanted to watch them all squirm, like the author from Extraordinary You...and that I could get behind, but sadly they don’t go that metaphysical/theological with the plot...which is honestly the main problem with this drama. It seems ambitious in concept but it’s never explored decently in any way, not in the pseudoscience, not in the philosophical sense of the meaning of time/space/existence, not even in its relationships, with the constant back and forth and weirdness of it.

Besides the timetravel migraine, we had the weirdest directing, that made the relationship between the leads feel a bit too incesty...which was the main reason I kept watching this drama...morbid curiosity of how they wrapped up this mess of a plot AND especially the relationship payoff...would it keep being weird with trope romance drama scenes like the female lead and second female lead facing off and being jealous, or that weird hair washing that felt more sensual than maternal? I knew it wouldn’t happen but my inner chaos gremlin wanted kdramaland to grow some balls and go full “predestination: oedipus edition” with this mess. Alas they sort of did, mostly didn’t. Even that angle was a whole inconsistent mess: there were times where it felt too romantic, then for a short minute I misguidedly shipped the journalist friend, then it seemed the dude was ace, then they calmed their tits with the whole weird romantic vibes and it got platonic cute, then with the memory merge thing finally motherly vibes, then I shipped the journalist again for 1 sec only...and then the ending:

Alice ended with the lead solving every problem by shooting himself (technically) in the head...and that's the second meta perfectly fitting ending for a drama with a good cast and terrible writing that drove itself into a corner this year, after the sleepless princess ended with the leads jumping off a cliff. I don't think it's a self aware choice of the writers, or an admission that they themselves know it was bad, but the irony is delicious.

Spoiler for the ending: he undoes timey wimey stuff from when his mom first got killed in high school and closed the time travel door. So he became an architect and new Tae Yi just woke up in her bed remembering everything, but in reality she had just come back from a conference abroad and had never met him. So mom TaeYi didn't die then, but never got back on screen after the time undo so who the f knows what happened to her.

Also, if new Tae Yi remembers, does that mean hot daddy from the future does as well, but he is just stuck in the future without a time door to ever see them again? The drama doesn’t care answering that and forgets his character is even a thing...I will miss you, my fave who looked emotionally and literally constipated 24/7 (it doesn’t care answering much at all tbf... a little known fact about the time travel paradoxes according to the physics of this world is that besides doppelganger chickenpox it induces severe lazy writing).

Anyways new Tae Yi went looking for architect (? okay...I guess) ML after she woke up, at first he didn't remember her, but it ends with him meeting her, apparently remembering her and they stare at each other... you know, like any bad traditional romantic kdrama finale....so there is still THAT vibe.

Honestly, the usual romantic ballad score for scenes between the leads WAS NOT the most intelligent choice for this drama in specific but boy did they stick with it (not to mention the ending song... that goes, in english “we be like Bonnie and Clyde we ride or die...which...k, sure)...so technically the ending was exactly the cliche post amnesia running back to each other and staring for the final scene while romantic music blasts trope. Take it as you will.

Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna Movie Review

I've seen the film. It was pretty good! Spoilers under the cut.

So, before I watched it, I did read a few bits and pieces of random spoilers. However, I did NOT read the novel – because I wanted to judge the film on its own merits and not be thinking about “what the novel did better”. But I knew things like most characters were sidelined, who the villain was, and how the movie ends. I still have not read the novel.

This is not a “proper” review of the movie -- because what’s the fun in that? You can google actual reviews of the movie by anime websites, if that’s what you’re after. These are just my personal thoughts, impressions and fangirl ramblings (I bias Yamato hard). Plus, a few comments from two others I went to the screening with for a different perspective.

It was like nerd city at the movie theatre, LOL. So. Many. Nerds. Some people even brought Digimon plush toys to the screening! I’ve never witnessed that before. It was great though, being surrounded by so many Digimon fans. I think the cinema was more than half full -- and this was an 800-seat cinema! 400+ Digimon fans? Whoa! I actually thought like only 20 people would show up, LOL.

I tried to put the following thoughts in “order” but some of it isn’t due to the nature of what they’re about . . . plus, I couldn’t 100% remember what order the scenes were in.

Screen time distribution (most to least): Taichi/Yamato, Koushirou, the 02 kids (roughly: Takeru, Hikari, Daisuke, Miyako, Ken, Iori), Mimi, Jou, a hamburger, a whistle, a beer, Sora. (Sora got shafted hard.)

Taichi was exactly just Taichi, which is 1000x better than tri. Taichi. He really did seem like a 22-year-old version of Adventure Taichi, beer-drinking and porn-watching and all. Thank you, Toei. Please don’t fuck him up in the reboot. (Although maybe that’s the idea?)

Yamato is the coolest motherfucker on a motorcycle. He looked SO DAMN GOOD in this movie. There were even a few gratuitous shots of his arse for no apparent reason, LOL. Or maybe that’s just me thinking, whenever he’s bending over or his back’s to us, “That’s a nice arse.” XD (HE IS THE ONLY 2D CHARACTER I THIRST FOR, I PROMISE. I’m actually engaged to Jungkook of BTS.)

Koushirou was the same old Koushirou we all know and love, doing smart stuff and generally being useful. He has no pointed interest in clothes or girls (Koumi began and died in tri., you guys). When it was shown that he was a company president, some people in the audience laughed, lol.

Takeru was pretty bland. I guess tri. Takeru will always be the definitive Takeru to me. This Takeru definitely evolved straight from 02 Takeru (who was also bland AF). But he was fine? I miss overly confident, charming Takeru. Also, where was your crush on your big bro??? lol

Hikari . . . was also fine? I don’t have much to say about her. I like tri. Hikari better (because she was cute? *shallow*). This Hikari was just serviceable. I think because everyone really is just playing second fiddle to Taichi and Yamato, they didn’t really add charms to the other characters. They just . . . serve the plot. And it seemed, at the beginning of the movie, that Takeru and Hikari were going to be in it a lot -- but they have most of their scenes in the first third-ish of the movie before disappearing until the end.

Daisuke was also exactly the same. But I’ve never been a fan of him, nor do I hate him (though he did get on my nerves in 02 sometimes . . .). I just don’t care about him, or any of the 02 kids, personally. :P

I don’t think Ken had a personality in this movie, LOL. He was fine, though. Serviceable. I’m sorry I lack opinions here, but there really wasn’t much to go on. He has no Kaiser issues or anything, he just seems like a normal, well-adjusted kid . . . with no personality, lol.

Iori didn’t have a personality either -- but everyone has always known that. Ha! XP He is just an extra reading lines. I found it odd that he seems so short though? I kept thinking he was still a 9-year-old because of the height difference between him and the others . . . I think Toei forgot that HE IS 17 AND THUS SHOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO FULL ADULT HEIGHT. Puberty is amazing, Toei! (Yeah, he can just be a really short person, I know. I wouldn’t have made that design choice, though. Especially when he’s short compared to Daisuke . . . who is short compared to Yamato . . . and Iori really is a midget.)

Miyako . . . it’s probably due to her voice actress, but she was SO LOUD. And I found her annoying because of it. In fact, she was the only annoying character in the movie to me. Loud people can be charming . . . but I didn’t find her charming. Sorry, Miyako fans. =\

Mimi has an e-commerce startup at 21, lol. OK, you go girl. She was definitely shafted, but she was in it a bit more than Jou I think, and definitely more than poor Sora. Probably a few minutes? Yeah, not a lot, especially compared to Taichi and Yamato. In one of her (four?) scenes, she loses consciousness and ends up in the hospital -- and Taichi, Koushirou and Jou are in her hospital room when Yamato bursts in and goes, “Jou!” You know, instead of acknowledging Mimi, THE COMATOSE FRIEND IN THE HOSPITAL BED. I just found it funny that’s how they chose to frame that scene. :P

Jou only had a few lines, but he was still in it more than Sora. But he is really just a doctor here. He could’ve been an extra hired for a doctor role and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, lol. Oh, Toei, please give all the characters almost-equal screen time in the reboot? Please???

Sora had like four lines and thirty seconds of screen time, TOTAL. I think the decision to hold her back from THE ENTIRE PLOT was SOLELY to have the scene where she reacts to Taichi blowing the whistle, so you know that the sound is going out of Neverland and reaching the real world (or whatever dramatic effect they were going for). I really think that’s it. That, or her voice actress did something terrible to Toei and they’re punishing her. :P

The movie basically opens up with Parrotmon attacking. Takeru was the first to be shown, then Hikari, then Taichi. Taichi is wearing those special goggles Koushirou made for him and he looked goofy AF lol. At one point, Greymon tackles Parrotmon into a building where you see some people inside running away from the rubble. My sister said (without knowing anything about tri.): “Does Tai not care that his digimon definitely just killed some people in that building?” I chuckled because . . . well. ;)

Yamato enters the scene COOL AS FUCK on his motorcycle (most of his entrance is shown in a clip that Toei released) and thank you Toei for doing that for him. He deserves a showy entrance. :) Although I do find it funny that he’s obsessed with motorcycles, given I still remember giggling as a kid at him NOT liking riding on the back of some guy’s scooter in Digimon: The Movie.

The music was nice and nostalgic and I have no complaints.

There is a quick scene of Yamato seeing a kid in a music store getting a harmonica, and watching a street performer singing. Obviously he’s thinking about his passion for music as a kid/teen (and his childhood in general?) and it was a nice touch. I think by the end of the movie you would’ve understood that Yamato was letting go of his past (childhood) and heading towards the future (adulthood).

A friend of Yamato’s makes a comment to him that Japan’s Self-Defense Forces are going to recruit him into the military due to his experience as a Chosen Child. Yamato replies, “that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard”. BUT . . . this is Kizuna telling you EXACTLY what is going to happen, lol. I actually “predicted” Yamato’s career path years ago -- but it wasn’t hard, as there is really only two ways it could’ve gone, lol. Military test pilot or commercial air pilot -- which one, especially given the context Kizuna just gave us, is more likely? ;)

Yamato is shown wearing GLASSES in class (looking nerd-hot AF). Toei Animation must not have researched Yamato’s astronaut career as intensively as I did, and therefore did not know that astronauts need 20/20 vision lol. Oh well, he can get it corrected. :p (Or, he doesn’t actually need glasses but WEARS THEM AS A FASHION STATEMENT. Because I can believe that. XD)

I think Yamato had about three different outfits in the movie? And he looked good in all of them. Are there people out there who think he’s not fashionable? I'd find that opinion strange, given the fact that the staff behind 02 and tri. were actively designing him as the well-dressed cool guy of the group. He wears exactly the kind of clothes the well-dressed cool guys at my high school/university wore. Sure, sometimes they force green tops on him purely for nostalgic reasons and it therefore clashes -- there is only so much you can do with a green top -- but overall, he is supposed to come across as someone who cares about his appearance. If you don’t think so, you’re either not into fashion or you aren’t aware of 2005-2010 fashion as a teen/young adult. (If Yamato was a millionaire, I’m sure he’d dress identical to BTS with super expensive clothes lol. But he dresses very well for a “normal” person. :p)

Taichi was shown with two of his friends who were asking him about his aspirations or something, and the guy looked like an unattractive nerd. My sister said: “I didn’t like how they showed Tai with sloppy friends, but showed Matt with good-looking people.” LOL. Her favourite as a kid was Taichi, BTW. XD;

Menoa and Imura were . . . OK characters. Menoa seemed likeable enough at first, but when her real intentions were revealed she turned into a typical, crazy, possessed villain. Imura was really just there to service the plot, like a necessary extra on set. There was nothing more to him.

Menoa’s English is terrible. And it’s very noticeable because she inserts random English words into her Japanese sentences, lol. I laughed when Koushirou told her that her Japanese is very good (because SHE IS ACTUALLY FLUENT IN JAPANESE . . . and not so much in English). Yes, I know it’s because it’s a Japanese voice actress -- but it was still funny every time she spoke heavily accented English, followed by fluent Japanese. :P

Menoa’s partner digimon, Morphomon, was cute in design. Eosmon was the villain digimon and was Menoa’s attempt at recreating Morphomon, who disappeared on her. Does this sound kind of familiar? lol

Omegamon devolves into Koromon and Tsunomon when fighting against Eosmon. Back in Koushirou’s office, Menoa explains that you only have a limited amount of time with your digimon before they disappear and that fighting accelerates it. Taichi has a circle of lights on his digivice that lose a bar of light every time he fights with Agumon. When the lights all disappear, Agumon will disappear. Koushirou and Takeru look at their digivices to check if they’ve got it – they don’t, and they are relieved. Yamato then checks his and . . . well. He has it. His eyes start watering and he storms out of the room saying something along the lines of his bond with Gabumon will not be broken. I FUCKING LOVED THIS SCENE. Top 3 in the movie for me, personally. We all have weaknesses. Emo Yamato is mine, lol. I like it when he gets so emotional he cries in front of other people. :3

The “porn stash” scene with Agumon at Taichi’s apartment was HILARIOUS. The funniest scene of the movie. Everyone in the cinema laughed so hard. It was Taichi’s reaction that sold it -- it was BRILLIANT. The magazines actually had girls on the cover wearing bikinis, so, at least Agumon kept his innocence! lol

Gennai randomly appears in Taichi’s apartment to confirm the thing everyone should’ve always known (but that they just made up for Kizuna and which DEFINITELY led to “creative differences” with Digimon series director Hiroyuki Kakudou). This, of course, would be the whole idea that the more you “grow up”, the more your bond with your partner digimon breaks until, eventually, they disappear. Does the idea have problems? Yep. Menoa lost her partner digimon Morphomon at age 14 because she decided to accelerate her learning and go to university . . . meanwhile, Koushirou is the president of his own freaking company and still has Tentomon by his side. Yeah, OK, Kizuna. And, sure, you can argue that it’s about BECOMING AN ADULT -- but I think you’d just be drawing lines where YOU want to draw them. How mature is 14-year-old Menoa to be an “adult”? Is Koushirou really not mature enough at 21? And what about Jou, who I definitely think is an adult in all sense of the word? And so on. So arguments about this I think are valid, but at the same time . . . it’s Digimon. I think it’s a flawed idea but I also just shrug and accept it as it is, lol.

I “love” how Gennai just pops in when it’s convenient to the plot. Hello Gennai, what’s dark Gennai up to? Have you seen him around licking underaged girls anywhere? No? You’re just popping by to confirm shit to Taichi? OK, cool. See you in the tri. sequel, never. (He actually does give Taichi a reasonable answer as to why the growth/bond thing was never brought up before: that it’s like talking about how long you have to live. I bought it.)

Yamato is basically the reason the 02 kids are even in the movie, lol. He asks them to investigate Imura and Menoa for him and they do so. They contact him later on with info and they ask that he take them out for okonomiyaki (which is awful by the way, lol) as thanks and he smiles and says he can do that. This is just a nice exchange between them. :)

Yamato eventually confronts Imura (or is it the other way around, lol) and Imura HAS A GUN. Which was surprising to me because I remember that in the English dub, Puppetmon’s gun was censored, so seeing a gun in a Digimon movie was a little surprising. Anyway, Yamato doesn’t seem concerned by the fact that this dude can just shoot him dead, lol. Gabumon is with him, but still. Imura can still kill you before Gabumon kills him, you know. XD But it’s all good because Imura turns out to be an undercover FBI agent who wants to arrest Menoa, THE REAL VILLAIN. I was spoiled with this so no surprise.

There is a scene where Yamato has his hand tenderly on Takeru’s face because he lost consciousness. It was sweet, but I would’ve liked it more if Takeru had more of a personality in the film so I could actually care about him, lol. Yamato’s such a caring big brother, though. :)

Yamato was perfect in this movie. PERFECT. I had a few issues with his characterisation in tri. (I think he was, overall, about 80% Yamato), but he was ALL YAMATO, ALL THE TIME here. He is my favourite fictional character of all time, so DEAL WITH THE BIAS. I love him and, honestly, Yamato>Taichi all day, every day. I totally understand you, Sora. DON’T @ ME TAICHI STANS. XP

The ONLY minor quibble I had was that Yamato asks Taichi if they should really try to save the other kids, because fighting means it speeds up their bonds breaking. My quibble is: YAMATO IS NOT FUCKING SELFISH. He’s SO selfless. He would fight to save the other kids NO QUESTIONS, even if it meant he’s accelerating the destruction of his bond with Gabumon. But I give this scene a huge pass because it basically had to go like that, because ONE person out of Taichi/Yamato had to be reluctant so that the OTHER person pushes forward and has a “hero” moment. And who’s going to get that “hero” moment? The actual hero and MAIN CHARACTER of Digimon, Taichi, of course. SO I GET IT. I even agree and would’ve written it that way too, for Taichi to be the leader and reassure Yamato that this is what they’re doing (unlike in tri. where Yamato 1000% deserved the mantle of LEADER and Taichi could’ve whinged off the edge of a cliff and I. WOULD. NOT. CARE.). BUT I will still rant about this 30 second scene in my blog and scream to the universe that Yamato Ishida is the most selfless fictional being on the face of the planet and you better fucking know it. :)

Menoa is Maki 2.0. As soon as Menoa is revealed as being behind the evil stuff, she is instantly psychotic. So Maki 2.0 she definitely is. But . . . I don’t really care. Could Toei have been more original? Yes. But I can’t be bothered to criticise them for recycling a plot, because I’d rather criticise tri. for doing it in the first place, LOL. OK, honestly? At least Menoa’s plot had an actual resolution, instead of Maki being revealed and then . . . fucking off out of the entire series so abruptly. Like??? Kizuna followed through with it, tri. did not. That’s why I’m OK with the rehash, because Kizuna did tri.’s plot better. (Maki’s plot would’ve been good if the tri. writers didn’t get lazy AF at the end and just . . . didn’t . . . finish it.) I might also be giving Kizuna a huge pass because it made me feel things, lol.

The movie really picks up after Menoa reveals her intentions and they end up in Neverland (a place she created in the Digital World?) where she claims all the Chosen Children can stay as children with their partner digimon forever. It became a lot more interesting after that. But that’s also near the climax, lol.

In Neverland, all the kids who have lost consciousness are in their child forms (from the first season) and are basically Menoa’s puppets. This was really cool; it not only gave you nostalgic feels to see them like that, but it was also pretty creepy to see them with glowing red eyes. The Chosen Children, as kids, attack Taichi and Yamato. I laughed when Patamon attacked Yamato’s face and Tentomon tackled Taichi, lol. But I have to say though that Sora’s absence was VERY glaring here. Because . . . everyone was there, but her. :(

Other Chosen Children from the past are present in Neverland too. I FREAKING SAW MICHAEL, MIMI’S AMERICAN FRIEND, STANDING BEHIND HER. I was so surprised at his appearance that I didn’t catch anyone else. There were definitely others, but I didn’t make them out at all because I was so caught off-guard with Michael. XD; (I DON’T EVEN GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HIM, LOL.)

Someone said that Taichi called out Meiko’s name in the movie . . . well, I’m pretty sure that Yamato does, and he calls her by her last name, “Mochizuki”. This is when they’re in Neverland and Menoa shows them her “collection” of Chosen Children. Meiko pops up for one second. It was like Kizuna went, “Oh! Hey, tri. existed by the way. Now let’s move on.” lol

While being attacked by the Chosen “puppets” in Neverland, Taichi manages to reach his hand out and grab Hikari’s whistle and blow it -- effectively “waking” them all up from their puppet states. Everyone in the cinema got hit with audible FEELS, because when Taichi blew Hikari’s whistle the screen flashbacked to that scene from the first movie. I found the collective audience reaction more powerful than the scene itself, lol. But I really liked it, too. :)

So while everyone else is in Neverland . . . SORA IS IN HER APARTMENT HUGGING PIYOMON. Thanks, Sora, you’re a real friend. *cough* After Taichi’s whistle blow, she intuitively knows what’s going on and says she believes in everyone . . . THANKS AGAIN, SORA, YOU CHEERLEADER. OK, look: I do think it is pretty selfish of Sora to choose not to fight. I understand all the reasoning behind it, I even think SHE DESERVES TO BE SELFISH FOR ONCE etc., and I am fine with it -- but I still think it’s selfish. Because it is. And that’s OK, nobody is perfect, and people are selfish from time to time. If only it wasn’t glaringly obvious that her selfishness happened only because Toei just wanted her out of the way for most of the film . . . her absence, as stated before, really was noticeable in scenes where literally everyone else was included but her. (I’d also just like to point out that her voice actress was STILL CREDITED THIRD after Taichi and Yamato in the ending credits. LOLing forever -- such little contribution, such big recognition. XD)

But don’t get me wrong, I love Sora. I really fucking do. Taichi used to be my second favourite character in Digimon for a long, long time -- but Sora managed to dethrone him from second place (fucking Yamato probably helped, LOL). I think, screen time-wise, Kizuna did her a bigger disservice than Our War Game did. Yes, let that sink in. Remember how little she was in that movie? It’s worse in Kizuna. But story-wise and character-wise? Kizuna probably did better, because Sora was angry over a hairclip in Our War Game lmao. If you haven’t already, check out her memorial story short “To Sora” that Toei Animation released online. It’s six minutes of Sora . . . which is 5 and a half more minutes than in Kizuna! XD;

There’s a scene where Agumon and Gabumon tell Taichi and Yamato that they like watching them grow up. It was very touching, but also very brief. It was one of my favourite moments though. It made me have quick flashbacks in my mind of itty bitty Taichi and Yamato growing up into who they are now. The enormity of everything they had been through since the first season. THE HISTORY. THE GROWTH. It hit me right in the feels.

Taichi and Yamato’s homoerotic-ness was actually toned down a lot, especially compared to tri.. They don’t have forced disputes where they get angry at each other and the gay sexual tension shoots through the roof. They’re just . . . friends. Two dudes who drink beer together and moan about their lives. The partnership between them and their digimon were the focus of the movie, more so than the friendship between them. I actually liked this, and I usually care more about the human connections over the human-digimon ones.

“Shipping moments” – if you squint hard enough. Takari: At the start, Takeru shields Hikari from harm. Sorato: While Taichi informs Yamato about the lives of some of the other Chosen Children, Yamato lets Taichi know what Sora is up to -- that she’s seriously studying flower arranging. Kenyako: Ken asks Miyako, and only Miyako, if she’s OK (when Daisuke is right next to her). Taiora: Sora says Taichi’s name when he blows the whistle in Neverland and she hears it all the way in the real world. (My sister legit whispered to me: “SHE DIDN’T SAY MATT’S NAME.” BITCH, he ain’t the one whistling! XP) Now, Digimon Adventure tri. shipbaited hard -- but Kizuna did not do this. All of these very small moments felt very organic and passed as if they were a natural part to the story, instead of something shoehorned in with the explicit purpose of shipbaiting. I really liked this approach. The Sorato one in particular (surprise, surprise) said a lot about Yamato’s relationship to Sora without being explicit about it. He knows what she’s up to when her childhood best friend doesn’t? Yeah, those two are definitely hooking up after classes. :P (I jest. But it does tell you with one sentence that Yamato and Sora keep in touch, which I appreciated. You gotta do that if you’re having babies together within the decade, you know?)

There were next to NO evolution sequences. I might remember it happening once or twice? Max. And . . . that was a REALLY lame choice. Especially when Agumon and Gabumon evolve to their newest forms; Taichi and Yamato are just floating with them up into the air and then, poof, the new evolutions are shown. Google tells me they’re just called Agumon -Bond of Courage- and Gabumon -Bond of Friendship- respectively . . . they were not named in the movie. Here’s the thing: I don’t really care about digimon and evolutions. But it was so underwhelming; they really should’ve amped it up with an evolution sequence to be like HERE BE THESE NEW AWESOME FUCKING DIGIMON ‘bout to kick your arse. It seems like such a no-brainer that I really don’t know who would sign off on a evolution sequence not happening. Oh well. As for the designs? They are OK, but definitely could’ve been better. I think “cool AF” when I see Omegamon and all his forms. I don’t think that of these new evolutions lol. (But my sister liked them and thought they looked cool, so . . .)

Also . . . the fighting scenes in this movie were pretty bad. Very underwhelming. Our War Game and Diablomon Strikes Back did a lot better. I both like and dislike the animation style in Kizuna. I do actually like the art of it, like how it looks. But I kinda dislike how it’s actually animated, because it doesn’t really look like they’re moving fluidly enough. It’s a bit too choppy. I just expected the fighting/action scenes to be more exciting (I was hoping Our War Game-level) and of a higher standard. But they are not, unfortunately.

Everyone in the cinema audibly GASPED when Taichi and Yamato were just talking to Agumon and Gabumon after the final battle, and then they turned around and they . . . just . . . disappeared. And then Taichi and Yamato CRIED. SO. HARD. And I actually started repeating in my head, DO NOT CRY, DO NOT CRY, lol. I didn’t cry! Almost, though. :p I really loved this scene. And I really think, narratively, it would’ve worked A LOT better for the movie to end on this scene. The actual ending scene that comes after it felt a little too out of place and tacked on to me. More on that later.

There was a small smattering of applause at the end of the movie, lol. But I did not clap, because I find that weird. :p (Even though I clapped, alone in my house, when Parasite won Best Picture at the Oscars LOL.)

The ending credits showed different photos of the kids. Unfortunately, I . . . don’t really remember most of them. XD; I think I saw Sora arranging flowers? And maybe Daisuke and Ken having dinner? I definitely saw Iori doing kendo, because I thought it was cool. And the one photo I definitely remember for sure: Yamato standing in front of a space shuttle. I stan astronaut!Yamato so hard, you guys have no idea how happy it made me that he’s pursuing his dream omfg my little baby boy. XD;

This is definitely Taichi and Yamato’s movie. Everyone else is just playing supporting/cameo roles -- some more than others, as outlined way above. (Well, except Menoa I suppose . . . and Koushirou to the extent that he’s just needed to be the Digi IQ.) But if you’re NOT a fan of either Taichi or Yamato? I think, though you’ll probably love all the nostalgia bits, you’ll also be really disappointed -- especially considering this is supposed to be the final instalment of the original Adventure continuity. It’s a great “love letter” to Taichi and Yamato specifically, but not for the other characters, sadly.

I saw the movie with my sister (a non-fan who used to like it as a kid) and a friend (a casual fan now, but she used to like it a lot years ago). I’ll refer to them as “S”(ister) and “F”(riend), respectively.

After the movie ended:

S: “Did you cry? Because two guys beside me were literally sobbing. SOBBING.” *Judging.* (LMAO.)

What was our favourite part of the movie?

Top 3 scenes for me were Yamato storming off with his eyes watering when he realises his bond with Gabumon has an expiry; the brief “speech” Agumon and Gabumon give to Taichi and Yamato about wanting to see them grow up; and Taichi and Yamato crying at Agumon and Gabumon vanishing. EMO EMO EMO.

S: “Sora doing fuck-all.” (LMAO.) F: “Yeah! What was up with that? It’s like they forgot she even existed.” S: “Sora is just a cunt.” (Note: S has a dry sense of humour and isn’t really being malicious. BUT . . . I do think most viewers watching Kizuna would have a poor opinion of Sora in this movie . . .)

F: “I liked the 02 kids. I guess it was mostly Davis. And I liked when Veemon was riding on Armadillomon’s back and Wormmon was trailing behind. It was just this random thing but it was funny. Maybe I just like making fun of Wormmon.”

About the idea that growing up affects your bond with your digimon:

S: “What I took from it was that you shouldn’t grow up too fast. Cherish your childhood, cherish your memories. But, eventually, you do need to grow up.”

F: “I don’t understand how this whole “Digimon disappear when you grow up” thing wasn’t known. Weren’t there older people with Digimon before? You’d think they could have made a more specific threat that was just affecting their digimon, not be like, “Yeah this happens to everyone, it’s just a fact of life that we’ve never addressed before.” It felt a bit like they were telling the audience to grow up and get over Digimon.”

What would we rate the film?

I probably have to watch it again to give a definitive score, but at the moment, I give it about a 7/10. It was good, but not great. The last half was pretty great though -- it definitely started out slow (there was a lot of exposition via Menoa vomiting words). Is it better than tri.? Chapter 3: Confession, no. Confession is better, I think, but I also haven’t seen it in years. But the rest of tri.? Probably. Especially the pile of shit that was Chapter 6: Our Future. *cough*

S: “4/10.″ (LOL.)

F: “It was better than tri.. I guess a 7/10 too.”

Sequel?

I think it’s definitely a possibility. I feel like the very last scene of the movie was slapped on just to be like, “Well, if we don’t do a sequel, you know that Taichi and Yamato are definitely going to reunite with their partners eventually for the 02 epilogue to happen.” The scene is of Taichi and Yamato saying something along the lines of meeting Agumon and Gabumon again one day.

And while it’s an uplifting ending, I actually think the movie would’ve ended better with the scene before that -- with the digimon disappearing and Taichi and Yamato crying. It would’ve made a bigger emotional impact and raised the movie up just a notch higher to end on such a ballsy note. But, of course, it would’ve meant a sequel definitely had to happen. So the actual final scene was added on so that a sequel doesn’t need to be made -- but that it leads to the 02 epilogue “off-camera”, in case they really don’t do a sequel.

I think there’s a 50/50 chance of a sequel. The movie actually does close the Adventure story pretty well -- it has all the ingredients to lead to the 02 epilogue without actually taking you there. But it also keeps the possibility of a sequel open, where they can show you exactly how Taichi and Yamato reunite with their digimon.

And, honestly, the only “barrier” I see to a sequel happening is that the reboot is airing next month -- and it’ll be confusing for the next generation of kids to follow one continuity, and then have a movie released with characters they recognise, but in an entirely different continuity. Unless, of course, the sequel comes out in another two years and the reboot has finished after one season (though there’s always a possibility it goes on beyond one season).

S: “Yes, I think there’ll be a sequel.”

F: “It seemed quite final. But obviously if the 02 epilogue is accurate that can’t be the end. Unless Matt finds Gabumon again on the moon I guess. “Oh hey yeah we don’t really disappear, we just go to space!” Yeah, it could go either way. Maybe they are saving Sora’s big part for the sequel!” (XD)

And that’s a wrap! I’ll probably read the novelisation of the movie eventually . . . and it’ll probably be like 95% the same, lol.

Into the Abyss (and back into you)

Chapter 1: First Day

Pairings: A LOT

Warnings: none atm

Summary: After being rescued, child soldier survivor Bucky Barnes tries his hardest to have a normal, ordinary high school life despite the terrors that still haunt him. One day, he receives an email that he thought would never come -- the private investigator he had hired found his mother. He has to make a plan and act quick if he doesn't want to lose her again. Sam Wilson, aspiring therapist, loves his family and his friends. After his best friend Bucky cuts off communication from their friend group, his sister goes missing. A hashtag, a social media movement, a nationwide search. But there's no trace of her. After finishing high school, Bucky contacts him once more, telling him that he knows where to find his sister. With the help of his friends, they all travel throughout the United States to find Sam's sister and Bucky's mother. And perhaps love in the way, too.

“About time,” Bucky says as he reclines in his seat and pulls down his beanie with a huff, almost fully covering his eyebrows. Sam looks at the backseat through the rearview mirror as Erik lazily opens the door and sits on the middle of the backseat with a groan, his black hoodie still pulled up and hiding half his face.

“Sorry.” Erik says, sounding annoyed and not sorry at all. Both boys can hear the loud trap music coming from one bud of his gold earphones while the other hangs low down his neck. He leans back and closes his eyes, already looking drained of energy before the day even starts. “There was a problem.”

Sam starts his car while keeping both of his hands on the steering wheel, “What happened?” he asks.

“Is Valentina okay?” Bucky also asks, peeking at him over his shoulder.

Erik rolls his eyes at him. “The goddamn cat is fine.” He sighs and sinks further into his seat. “Nah. Do y'all remember my cousin?” Erik taps Bucky’s shoulder to make him fully turn around, as though he wants him to see the pain in his eyes as he speaks. “The one in Wakanda? Annoying, quiet, and thinks he’s better than everybody else?”

Bucky wrinkles his nose in confusion and looks to the side as he tries to remember, but comes up empty. He shrugs.

“Ah,” Sam says, nodding. “Yes, I remember you fondly telling us about him.”

“Well,” Erik says, putting extra emphasis on the word by rolling his eyes once again. “He moved here. Has been at my house all summer. And I have to share my room with him.”

Bucky nods in silent understanding and Sam keeps driving in silence, expecting Erik to continue talking about how his life is full of struggles. But instead Erik sits there with his arms crossed, his eyebrows knitted together and his lips forming a pout like a child. Bucky would call him cute, but starting his morning with a black eye isn’t on his to-do list.

“And um,” Bucky starts, uncertainty in his voice. “That's it?”

“That is it.” Erik scoffs, sliding further into his seat. “I don't want to share my room with him. Shit, I don't want to share it with anyone! Both him and my little cousin, Shuri, are here. They are filthy fucking rich, I don’t get why they gotta live with us.”

Bucky frowns and nods, trying to understand his unique situation. Sam instead feels the need to nervously scratch the back of his neck, but he doesn't want to let go of the steering wheel thanks to his road anxiety preventing him from even looking away. They know that Erik’s mom has been in a… feud of sorts with Erik’s paternal uncle. Erik wasn’t too specific of course, but they remember it made him upset enough to cry. And while they know he’s a soft guy under all the tough facade he puts on – he can’t say he doesn’t cry when watching the pet adoption commercials (“they are all alone, and sad, and the music doesn’t help, you assholes! Stop laughing!”) or that he doesn’t sing his heart out to the opening of his favorite anime – they also know that Erik loves his father, and he loves his mother, but one of them is gone and he has been too overprotective over the only one left. Erik’s hatred for his uncle has not stopped growing since that fight with his mom.

Remembering this, both boys feel an ache in their chest for their friend, wanting nothing more but to make him smile again.

Bucky is not much of a touchy person, so when he stretches to place his hand on Erik’s knee and shakes it in silent comfort, it doesn’t go overlooked. Erik smiles at him, and when he looks to the side of Bucky he sees Sam looking at him intensely.

“What?” He spats out on impulse under the sharp scrutiny.

Sam blinks once, twice, and finally he speaks. “You’re a better person than that old man is, you know.” He slowly says in that therapeutic, soothing voice of his, causing Erik to pause. “You’re a better person than your cousin, who didn’t stand up for you or your dad. You're kind, and you care so much. You— you're not afraid to fight for what's right. You’re way better than them, Erik, don’t you forget that, okay?”

Looking at him with wide eyes, Erik then slowly smiles, thankful for his best friend’s words. It might not fix it all, but it helps, even if just a little bit. He will be caught dead before he ever admits that, though, so instead he says ‘that’s kinda gay’ and laughs when Sam tells him to get the hell out of his car.

“We're here anyways!” He yells out, laughter still present in his voice.

Sam frantically locks his car and rushes to catch up with Erik and Bucky as both argue excitedly about an anime episode that streamed the night before. “Can one of y’all speak English, please?” He pushes them apart to be in the middle of them. “Or Patwah? Me kno ou to speak dat at least.”

Erik playfully elbows him and answers him with that smugness his teachers hate. “Amabini anokudlala oko umdlalo, uyazi,” he answers back, which makes Sam smile brightly and whisper ‘alright, okay, alright’ while elbowing him back.

Bucky, though, smiles and just watches their friendly bickering, finally feeling at home. He missed this feeling. He missed them both so much.

Somehow, they're already in front of their lockers, all three of them stopping together in order starting from Bucky to Sam to Erik. In fact, that’s how they met in middle school. They happened to have been assigned lockers right next to each other when school first started; Erik arrived first and mistook his locker for Sam’s, and when Sam got there Erik wouldn’t let him get close to it. They almost got into a fistfight until they both saw Bucky trying to open the locker they were both fighting for.

Of course, after all three of them were sent to the principal's office, they’ve been best friends ever since.

Erik starts to fumble with his lock, reciting the combination under his breath like he always does with important things he has to remember, until he hears Bucky whisper to Sam to turn around and look.

“Okoye! Koko!” The voice of some girl catches their attention. They turn their eyes to the row of lockers in front of them to see Okoye ‘Koko’ Milaje turn to her girlfriend just in time to catch her as she throws herself at her. Her girlfriend, Nakia, excitedly throws her arms around her middle, burying her face in her girlfriend’s chest. She says something that only Okoye can hear because she laughs brightly, leans down, and presses a kiss to her forehead.

Sam smiles at Bucky, who smiles back at him and says “girls” as though that explains everything and turns to focus on opening his locker. From the corner of his eye he quickly realizes that only two people stop to stare at the couple, and only one looks like they’re disgusted… though they don’t do anything about it, instead opting to turn away from them. Good, Sam thinks. He doesn't have the time for that bullshit so early in the morning. He turns to mention it to Erik, and his friend’s expression is not the annoyed one he expected for witnessing the kiss since he says to hate ‘corny romantic bullshit’ (which is a lie, because he once caught him intensely watching a telenovela in the middle of history class) but instead his expression is just one of...pain.

Sam frowns, confused. Pain...?

“So that’s why he’s here…” Erik whispers, looking away from them.

Bucky peeks over his shoulder and turns to Erik while Sam orderly puts his belongings inside his locker, who is still looking at Erik from the corner of his eye. “Who?” Bucky asks.

“Huh?” Erik stops harshly throwing his books inside his locker to look at him askew. He comes back to himself soon enough though, and he quickly closes his eyes, shaking his head with a sigh. “No, nothing. I was just talking to myself.”

Both Bucky and Sam look at each other, and suddenly, they feel the need to ask him about it again because the troubled look on their friend’s face bothers them, but the ring of the school bell interrupts before either of them can say anything.

“Well, gotta go.” Erik sighs irritably, slamming his locker door closed. “See y’all later – ah, wait. Both of you have art first period, right? With, uh, Ms. Minako?” He asks.

Sam nods. “Yeah, why?”

“Okay, so, my cousin.” Erik says, adding an eyeroll for extra measure. “He’s coming to our school.” Sam and Bucky both raise their eyebrows in surprise, and Erik nods. “Yeah, he’s gonna come to school here, sadly. For some fucking reason. Anyways, he’s probably going to be late since his dumb ass didn’t wake up on time ‘cuz he was busy moping around and I wasn't going to wait for him. He’s in the same class as y’all, I believe, so if y'all could, you know, show him around… or whatever… I’d be… uh,” he coughs into his fist. “I, uh, I’d appreciate it. Seriously.” His voice turns quieter and softer as he finishes, eyes cast away. He leans from one side to another on his heels like he always does when he’s impatient or nervous.

Bucky raises an eyebrow and decides to tease him. “Hold up,” he quickly leans over him, causing Erik to step back. “You’re asking us for a favor?”

“And does that mean you actually care about your cousin?” Sam asks, wrapping his arm around Erik’s shoulder to join in on teasing him too.

Of course, it’s a trick question. Both Bucky and Sam already know that Erik cares a lot about his family (except for his uncle) and that includes his so called ‘frigid ass cousin’, despite… current events. Erik is simply not an openly affectionate person and he would never admit that he’s not the ‘cold-hearted ass bitch’ he claims to be. He would rather dump all of his anime-inspired clothing than admit to having any sort of normal human feelings whatsoever.

“Fuck off!” He yells, pushing Sam off him as Sam laughs at his little tantrum, and Erik is suddenly thankful that his brown skin masks the heat rising to his cheeks. “Just – will you do it or not?!”

“Sure,” Bucky smiles. “He’s uh, quiet—”

“Full of himself—” Sam adds.

“Aaaand he’s annoying. Not hard to spot.” Erik scoffs.

Sam laughs and waves him goodbye. “Okay, you should go before you’re late.”

The smaller teen nods and turns around to head to his class, the sound of his boot heels echoing in the empty halls. While they walk towards their art class, Sam wonders what kind of person Erik’s cousin is and if he's as much of a jerk as Erik makes him out to be. Is he just as grumpy as Erik? Just as smart? Does he also say what’s on his mind without a filter? Does he smile? Is he just as direct? Does he care as deeply, but doesn’t show it? Is he just as soft when he wants to be?

… And is he straight?

“Good morning, Sam! Hello, James!” Ms. Minako welcomes them as they enter her room. “You guys are late.” She’s sitting on the same table as the rest of the students there, with a bunch of different colorful objects laid on it.

“Good morning, ma’am.” Sam greets her, Bucky greeting her too with a wave of his own as they make their way to the farthest seats at the other end of the table. Sam sets his backpack to his right with a pleased hum, while his best friend sits to his left and he takes comfort in the fact that nobody will sit by his right side. There’s plenty of other empty seats around so maybe he’ll have some peace of mind this year (last year he had the misfortune of being seated next to Tony fucking Stark). Besides, it’s not like anyone would decide to sit next to Bucky either, because last year the girl that did so ended up being his designated art partner… and let’s just say… not that many people can handle Bucky’s emotional outbursts. So, it’s a win-win that he gets to be with his best friend. Bucky can be a little weird, he won’t lie. But he knows his friend, he knows who he is, he knows his life and he knows what really happened during those years (news media be damned), so he's more than happy to deal with this so called 'trouble kid’ of the school. They don't know him like he does.

Ms. Minako checks them off the attendance list with a smile and counts the class again. It seems there’s students missing, judging from her confused face and her nervous pencil tapping. “Well, I guess most of you are here. Only two students are absent—”

As if on cue there’s a knock on the door, suddenly halting all talk.

“Oh! Must be the new student!” Ms. Minako declares cheerfully. Sam twists anxiously in his seat, leaning over to see who it is. Is it him…? “Open the door for him, please.”

One of the students next to her stands up and opens the door, returning to her seat quietly. From his spot, Sam can see him stride in.

The first thing he notices is his hair, his short fro perfectly shaped and adorning his face like a crown. His clothes look like they are from a quality brand -- elegant, but simple. Sam’s eyes go back up to his face and he finds warm brown eyes staring right back at him. He jumps slightly in his seat and feels his face warm up at getting caught staring, but Erik’s cousin doesn’t seem to mind because he smiles instead, winking at Sam with a tilt of his head.

Sam swiftly turns his eyes to his lap, repeating in his mind ‘STARE AT THE TABLE STARE AT THE TABLE STARE AT THE TABLE’ as he fidgets with a strand of his shirt. This definitely wasn’t on his to-do list either.

He winked at me?!

“Yo,” Bucky whispers to him. “Was it just me or did he wink at me?”

Sam blinks. “I thought he winked at me,” he whispers back.

“... Maybe at both of us? Probably you, though. I’m a mess.” He sighs, laying his head down on the table.

Sam snickers, playfully dragging Bucky’s long wavy hair to cover his face. “You wouldn’t look a mess if you used a damn brush, you lightskin 2-b Rapunzel.”

Bucky flips him off.

From across their seats he hears a couple of girls commenting on the new student’s appearance, one in particular making colorful comments in Spanish to her twin. Sam can recognize her voice without looking. Her name’s Chal, and her sister’s name is Ime. They all hang out together occasionally since their mom is good friends with his mom. They usually play video games when good ones come out and sometimes decide to have some impromptu language classes – the twins teach him Spanish, and Sam tries to teach them Patois, and they more or less manage to learn a couple of words since they use most of their learning time laughing hysterically at each other’s accents instead.

“El diablo,” Chal whispers to Ime. “Papasito… que guapo, no?”

Handsome. Sam hates that he understood that. Seems like those Spanish classes they gave him paid off.

Ime laughs and nods, saying something else to her sister’s ear. Chal giggles in response, patting Ime’s puffy hair bun until her sister pushes her hands away with a smile. Suddenly, Sam wishes he had a close relationship like that with his own sister, but he shakes the thought off as soon as the teacher speaks. Let’s not start the day with a gloomy thought.

“Hi!” Ms. Minako says. “You’re T.… challa... Uda… koh…?”

“T’Challa Udaku.” T'Challa smiles. “It’s okay. Just T’Challa is fine.”

“T’Challa?” Ms. Minako tries again, with a concentrated face.

T'Challa smiles again, and nods. “That’s right.”

Chal elbows her sister, whispering loud enough for Sam to hear. “Suena Africano, no? O quizás del caribe?”

“Africano, me parece.” Ime whispers back.

“Nah, es caribeño.” Chal shakes her head.

“Africano.”

“Caribeño, coño.”

“You have a slight accent.” Ms. Minako asks T'Challa, interested. “Where are you from?”

“I am from Wakanda.” He answers.

A tiny ‘fuck!’ is heard from Chal, but only Ime and Sam seem to notice. He tries not to laugh as Ime elbows her sister in the stomach. These girls.

“New to the country or the town?”

“Both.” T'Challa laughs. “It’s a lovely town.”

If only you knew, Sam thinks, you wouldn’t be saying that. But he shakes the thought off, again, trying not to be negative… again. It’s hard to not to be a pessimist. But enough is enough. He wants to be a therapist when he grows up, goddamn it, so he needs to get it together.

“Well, T'Challa, welcome to the country! Come on, choose a seat. Let’s start the class!” Ms. Minako gestures towards all the empty seats as she checks him off the attendance sheet. T'Challa turns over where a group of loud white boys are seated together, but his eyes pass right over them. He looks at the seat next to Ime and Chal (the latter batting her eyelashes dramatically, making T'Challa smile) and considers it, until he looks over at the end of the table where Sam is.

There’s one empty seat right next to his.

He looks decided then, walking past everyone and stopping right next to Sam with a click of his heels. Not quite believing what’s happening, Sam can only stare at his own hands and ask to whichever god is listening to make T'Challa sit somewhere else. Next to Bucky, even. He’ll do anything. Hell, he’ll stop eating his gran’s mac and cheese! But please, god, don’t let him sit next to him. T'Challa’s too… too…

“Is this seat taken?” T'Challa’s soft voice comes from his right, and Sam makes the mistake of turning his head towards him.

… Too pretty.

T'Challa’s eyes shine like the sun, his hand resting on the table. Sam’s breath hitches as dark brown eyes lock on his. His face is a little too close for his comfort, so Sam scoots back. T’Challa tilts his head to one side in confusion, waiting for him to answer but Sam can only focus on those lovely brown eyes of his, not even caring that the silence is getting a little bit too awkward, but he just doesn’t know what to say because T'Challa’s way too close and—

Bucky elbows him in the ribs, bringing him back to earth.

“Are you feeling alright?” T'Challa’s face turns to one of worry, somehow inching even closer to Sam. “You look—”

“I’m okay!” He blurts out, laughing nervously. He looks at Bucky from the corner of his eye and sees the bastard stifling a smile. Fucker.

T'Challa’s eyes widen in surprise, waiting for him to continue. “I’m—um, the seat isn’t taken, so…” Sam's eyes slide down to the empty chair while fake coughing and pressing his lips into a thin line, trying to play it cool. Oh my god this is too embarrassing why am I acting like this.

“Alright, thank you.” T'Challa’s face lights up and Sam can’t help but smile as well, despite how nervous he feels. T'Challa drops his bag to his side and sits down gracefully on the chair with a smile. “Nice to meet you,” he says with a radiant smile, while offering his hand to him like a proper gentleman.

Sam’s brain has the decency to remember to dry his anxiously-damp hand on his jeans before he shakes T’Challa’s with an equally anxious smile. It’s kind of odd, it almost feels like they’re finishing a business meeting. Why yes, sir, I’m glad we’ve come to the mutual agreement that I’m awkward as hell, let’s shake on it. But it could be a Wakandan thing, who knows. T'Challa has a strong grip on his hand as soon as they touch, and he shakes Sam’s hand with confidence, taking Sam by surprise as the strong shake dips him forward. He has no time to be embarrassed because T'Challa smiles at him and the guy giggles as though stumbling into someone else’s personal space is charming. He lets go of Sam and instead rests his face on his hand, two fingers up to support the crown of his head.

“What’s your name?” T'Challa asks, eyes filled with curiosity.

And it’s at this moment when there’s another knock on the door, catching everyone’s attention.

“Oh!” The teacher exclaims. “Must be the other missing student.” This time it’s her who stands up to open the door, blocking the view of Sam’s eyes to see who it is.

“You’re a bit late, mister.” She reprimands the student. “But it’s the first day, so I’ll let it slide this time, alright?”

“I appreciate it.” Says a deep, and… quite attractive masculine voice.

Ms. Minako stands to the side and shows him the way. “Come on in!”

As soon as the student enters the room he can see exactly who it is. M’Baku walks into the classroom with that confidence Sam is so jealous of, looking as handsome as ever. His dark brown skin glows despite the unflattering light of the classroom, as though M’Baku is the exception to little things like physics. His clothes, of course, always carry a Wakandan theme, showing off the beautiful African patterns and combination of colors.

Sam looks over to the twins and finds Chal fanning herself while looking at M’Baku, who suddenly has a distasteful look on his face when his eyes fall on the only acceptable empty seats in the room. The one next to Bucky, and the one next to the twins. His eyes soon fall on T’Challa, and he falters. He recovers quickly though and walks around the table to sit down right across from him – next to Bucky’s seat.

Sam’s eyes go back to T’Challa, who seems to be… frozen in place while looking at M’Baku. He gets it though. One time, he got to seat behind him in math class and every time the teacher called M’Baku’s name to mark him present, he would stand up and give Sam a great first row view of that—

“So, uh,” Bucky’s voice brings him back to earth. He turns his head towards him and sees him talking to M’Baku, who can’t look less interested. “Guess we’re art partners now, huh?”

M’Baku finally looks at him with a neutral look on his face and says, “I am lactose intolerant.”

Bucky freezes.

Sam completely loses it. He can’t help but laugh out loud, making a spectacle even though he tries his damn best to keep it in. Naturally, he attracts some of his classmates’ eyes, but he just can’t stop. He’s trying so hard, but Jesus. The look on Bucky’s face, he keeps remembering it and can’t help but laugh again.

“Mhm, keep on laughing, man. Just let it all out, you dick.” Bucky tell him as he claps Sam on the back, which only makes it worse.

Ms. Minako finally looks over at him, looking confused and quite annoyed at the noise. “Excuse me, Sam? Are you alright?”

“Yeah, Sam, are you alright?” Bucky repeats, faking the worrying tone in his voice as he scoots closer to Sam to look him right in the eye.

“Y-Yes, miss, I’m— I’m fine,” Sam tries to tell her while desperately trying to ignore Bucky’s stupid face. “Thank you. Sorry about—” and he laughs again.

“Do you need to go to the nurse, Sam?” she asks, sounding annoyed.

“Yeah, Sam, do you need to go to the nurse?” Bucky repeats again with that dumb look on his face and it makes it harder for Sam to stop laughing.

“No! N-No, I’m alright. I’m so sorry, miss, please uh, please carry on.” He coughs and bites his lip, mustering all his energy into having a poker face. It doesn’t work, it just makes him look weird with his bulging eyes, tight lips and puffy cheeks… but the teacher is satisfied enough with it to let it go.

“So, uh,” Sam turns to Bucky, a smile threatening to slip past his lips but still desperately trying to look neutral. “Wanna change seats?”

Bucky licks his lips, also trying not to smile, and nods. “Yeah, that’s— yeah, let’s change seats, man.”

Once they’re at their new seats, Bucky turns to T’Challa. “Soooo, guess we’re—”

“I’m also lactose intolerant.” He tells him with a mastered poker face.

Sam lays his head down and covers his head with his arms to tone down his loud laughter, shaking and softly smacking the table with his first a couple times. Bucky can’t hold it in either, leaning forward on the table and shaking his head as he laughs with Sam. M’Baku joins in with a loud and deep ‘HAH!’ and nothing else. T’Challa smiles ever so slightly, and the sight almost makes Bucky stop, feeling charmed by his smile and the soft crinkles at the corner of his eyes. He couldn’t quite get a look at him at first, but now he understands why Sam froze when T’Challa talked to him.

Sam coughs, and looks towards T’Challa, trying to frown in order to cancel out the dumb smile on his face. “Hey man, um, do you— uh, do you… wanna change seats?” He fake coughs into his fist, and Bucky feel his lips twitch. “Or, uh, or something?” Sam bites his lip again, praying to any god that is listening to make him stop laughing.

“I don’t see why not.” T’Challa calmly answers, picking up his stuff and changing his seat with Sam.

Once they’re finally seated, Sam speaks. “Don’t worry, Buck, I got you man. I, uh, you know, I take them lactaid tablets—”

Bucky whizzes out a small laugh, and nods. “Oh yeah?”

“Yes, sir,” Sam nods as well, patting him on the back. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you ain’t gotta worry about that.”

“Thanks, Sam,” Bucky says, smiling at him. “I know I can always count on you.”

“Nuh-uh, uh!” Sam shakes his finger on his face. “Only as long as I got my lactaid tablets,” he adds, and after a second of dead silence they both laugh loud and hard, Sam leaning on Bucky and Bucky flinching for half a second but relaxing quickly enough against Sam’s warmth.

Sam looks up at him from his shoulder. “Stop making me laugh, man, fuck. My face hurts.”

Bucky shrugs, Sam’s head moving with it. “That’s karma, asshole.”

Sam shakes his head, and closes his eyes, smiling softly. “I hate you.”

Bucky snorts. “And I hate you too, sweetheart.” Sam smacks him for that, whispering ‘gross!’ to which Bucky replies ‘but you like it!’ to which the teacher replies ‘both of you boys better shut up unless you want to be sent to the principal’s office’.

Half way through the class, their phones both vibrate at the same time, and they instantly look at each other. After making sure the teacher isn’t looking at them, they look down to check who texted them from under the table.

Suda Masaki’s ‘All Night Nippon’ radio show, Aug 21st, 2017 (feat. Kento) (episode 20)

☞ v long awaited translation that’s 2 weeks too late but better late than never right??! hope u enjoy it’s long af bc the show is 2 hours long um i divided it into 8 parts so its like baby chapters & you can pretend you’re reading a book or something. i also added audio links to some parts of the conversation as “(listen)” bc 1 audio is needed in some parts bc it wont make sense, 2 some parts were funny & 3 they’re cute as hell. so go grab some popcorn and your favorite beverage or s/ cuz i’m warning you it’s v long. enjoy!!

Part 1: Where and how did they meet?

❋ Masaki started the show talking about summer vacation and the weather. After a while he read some fan mail demanding him to bring Kento already. One of the fan mail was rlly fuckin weird and basically the girl was begging for Kento to go on and I guess she was moaning??? (WTF), so of course, because Masaki is Masaki he read it while moaning, which eventually lead him to introduce Kento. (listen to masaki moaning at your own risk) ❋

Masaki: This is Yamazaki Kento, everybody!!!!

Kento: *starts moaning* I’m sorry to have kept you guys waiting. I’m Yamazaki Kento, your leader and saviour, and I’ll be in your care today. (again, listen to kento moaning at your own risk. disclaimer! its grosser than masaki’s)

Masaki: Hey, are you okay? What did your manager tell you earlier?

Kento: Hmm… before I came here he told me, “I believe in you.”

Masaki: Won’t you get in trouble for what you just did?

Kento: I think it’s fine. I haven’t actually said anything bad.

Masaki: Oh, okay. Well, when was the first time we met each other?

Kento: I think it was when I was 16 years old at the set of the movie ‘Kirin no Tsubasa’.

Masaki: Oh, yeah. But why did we get closer after that? From what I remember, after that I went to a baseball field where there were a lot of actors playing and you were there. That day you were wearing a New Era cap with a short sleeved t-shirt and shorts and you were wearing Hello Kitty sandals, and you came up to me and asked me, “Suda-san, what kinds of clothes should I wear?”

Kento: Yup.

Masaki: I think that that conversation was when we actually met and I thought to myself, “Wow he’s so adorable” And I responded to you telling you that you had a great body and your face was cute so you didn’t have to worry and that you should just wear simple clothes.

Kento: Yeah, I agree.

Masaki: What?

Kento: I have a great body and my face is cute. I’m an amazing person.

Masaki: *laughs* You’re right. How long ago was that?

Kento: I was wearing really hideous clothes back then and Suda-kun was so fashionable. I was even wearing a Hello Kitty New Era cap that I had gotten from a friend.

Masaki: Where do they even sell a Hello Kitty New Era cap?

Kento: Maybe in Harajuku?

Masaki: Oh, okay, so that’s how we met.

Kento: And then yeah, I thought you were very fashionable. I used to think to myself, “Why am I the only one wearing Hello Kitty?”. So I went up to you and told you, “I want to buy clothes.” I think that’s how it all started.

Masaki: Oh, yeah. After that, your manager was mad at me for taking you around.

Kento: Right. We went to eat ramen and bought clothes in Harajuku.

Masaki: Kento was the one who asked me to show him around, but I was the one who got in trouble.

Kento: I think that that was my manager’s way of saying that he trusts you.

Part 2: Kento used to steal Masaki’s clothes

Kento: I used to go to your house and you used to give me a lot of your clothes.

Masaki: Yeah… Wait, no, that’s not true. It’s more like you didn't stop stealing them from me.

Kento: You’re right. I always stole them.

Masaki: The legend that is Yamazaki Kento that I remember was that he would take off the clothes he was wearing and leave them there, and he would leave wearing my clothes.

Kento: Right.

Masaki: But the other day, recently, you came to my house. That day I was so proud of you. You stopped stealing my clothes. I mean you still came over and wear my clothes, but you put it back on the hanger and you folded it. So when I saw this new side of you, I was like, “What? What kind of change is this?” You've become an adult, haven’t you?

Kento: Well, you see, it’s actually very simple. I have more um… money now.

Masaki: SHHH STOP! DON’T SAY THAT!

Kento: Since I have more money, I’m able to buy my own clothes.

Masaki: Right, you've become an actor now so you can buy your own meals.

Kento: Exactly.

Masaki: You have a point.

Kento: I do have a point.

Masaki: You’re right.

Kento: I’m right.

Masaki: You don’t have a reason to steal them from me anymore.

Kento: Yeah, I can buy my own stuff now!

Masaki: But do you even remember those times when you used to steal my clothes?

Kento: I do.

Masaki: Why did you do it? Did it occur to you for a second that maybe it would bother me that you would leave your dirty jeans in my house. Didn’t you feel a little bad for making me wash them? A normal person would think that.

Kento: I guess.

Masaki: What was your intention back then?

Kento: Back then I wanted you to give me your clothes. I was like, “Senpai, please give them to me.”

Masaki: So before you realized it, you were leaving with my clothes on?

Kento: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you were the one who was like, “Kento, it looks better on you.” And I would be like, “Really? Are you serious? Does it look good on me? Okay, then I’ll have it!”. So that’s why I always brought it home.

Masaki: Okay, but why didn’t you wear your own clothes when you went back home?

Kento: I always forgot.

Masaki: You would forget? Wow…. But yeah, I probably offered my clothes to you.

Kento: Yeah, one time you came to my house a few day after I went to yours and you went through my closet, and you were like, “Well, actually this is really nice,” and you took them back.

Masaki: Oh, yeah I did do that once. I went to your house and I was like, “Wow, this is actually dope. I’m going to wear it,” and I stole it back from you.

Kento: It was really sad.

Masaki: Do you still have the clothes you stole from me?

Kento: The clothes I stole from you?

Masaki: At least you admit that you stole them. But do you go to other people’s houses and steal their clothes?

Kento: No, I don’t.

Masaki: Then why did you steal them from me?

Kento: Well, it’s because you are such an open-hearted—

Masaki: I bet you threw them away.

Kento: I-I didn’t throw them away-

Masaki: YOU DEFINITELY THREW THEM AWAY!

Kento: *jokingly* N-n-no I didn’t…. I h-haven’t thrown them away.

Masaki: So you stole my clothes and you threw them away.

Kento: No, seriously, I haven’t thrown them away.

Masaki: Oh, really?

Kento: Um… it’s just that um…

Masaki: What is it?

Kento: I gave them to my cousin.

Masaki: YOU BASICALLY THREW THEM AWAY!

Kento: No, no, no, no. The clothes I got from you—

Masaki: WHY WOULD YOU GIVE MY CLOTHES TO OTHER PEOPLE. WEAR THEM!

Kento: I’m honestly very sorry for that, but I couldn’t wear them anymore. But I didn’t want to throw it away so I asked my cousin if he wanted them and he said yes, so I gave it to him.

Masaki: So why did you stopped stealing my clothes?

Kento: The reason? I don’t know… I mean, one is that I have more money now and the second reason is um…..eh?

Masaki: Wait, is this your first time on radio?

Kento: I’ve done it a couple of times for promotion.

Masaki: But you haven’t talked this much about yourself, haven’t you?

Kento: Yeah, I always talk about my movies and its plot.

Masaki: Right, right. You usually never talk about the times you stole clothes-

Kento: I haven’t stolen them!

Part 3: Manga live action adaptations

Masaki: Well today, the two actors who have done too much manga live action adaptations are reunited.

Kento: Don’t you think you’re doing too many live adaptions?

Masaki: Well, if you think of it number wise, I thought you had done a lot of live actions, but now that I think about it I think I’ve done too many. Weren’t you thinking that you’ve done more than me?

Kento: I was definitely thinking that, but when I thought about it, I was like, “Wait, what? I’m getting constantly attacked by everyone.”

Masaki: *laughs* What are you saying? It’s not like that!

Kento: I really am getting attacked, but like Suda-kun’s-

Masaki: Don’t say that. I also get attacked a lot.

Kento: Really?

Masaki: Of course.

Kento: …..

Masaki: You don’t look the least pleased right now.

Kento: No, no… But I am seriously getting attacked..

Masaki: Why do you feel that way?

Kento: Umm… Probably society’s opinion.

Masaki: Really? By the way, I watched “JOJO”.

Kento: What did you think?

Masaki: It was great and really funny. It was 100% “JOJO”.

Kento: Oh, thank you.

Masaki: Hey, but have you watched any of my movies?

Kento: I’ve watched “Death Note”, “Teiichi” and “Gintama”.

Masaki: Oh, so you’ve been watching a lot of the recent ones. Did you watch them in the movie theatre?

Kento: Yup, in the movie theatre-wait—

Masaki: You really suck at lying.

Kento: No, no, no, no, no.

Masaki: You really suck.

Kento: I watched “Death Note” in the theatre. And “Teiichi’s Country” as well. Also “Gintama”.

Masaki: You’re so annoying. So you actually watched all three in the cinema. Oh! Of the three movies you mentioned, we both starred in “Death Note”. I mean isn’t it crazy that you played ‘L’?

Kento: Yeah, I worked very hard for it.

Masaki: Not only was it cool, but it’s a role that every actor would envy playing.

Kento: Did you watch it though?

Masaki: Yeah, I actually did. Actually, while I was watching it, I remember during commercial break there was an announcement saying that they were going to make a movie version of the franchise and I was like, “Wow, they’re doing a movie as well”. And then it turned out I was going to be in the movie and I was so surprised. I was like, “I'M DOING IT?”

Kento: Oh, I didn’t know. Talking about this new era where a lot of manga live action adaptations are being done, I think we’ve both done so many.

Masaki: True, true. But it’s something that we’re both very grateful for. In spite of the fact that we’ve done so much, there are lots of different types and genres of mangas.

Kento: Yeah….. But I think I did too many shoujo mangas. It’s as simple as that.

Masaki: DON’T SAY THAT ABOUT YOURSELF.

Kento: You’re right. It’s not that I did too many, it’s more like I had the opportunity to do that many.

Masaki: How many times have you done kabedon?

Kento: Actually, I’ve only done it once.

Masaki: What?? Really???

Kento: I had only done it the movie “L♥DK”, but recently I did a parody version on “Saiki Kusuo”.

Masaki: Oh, yeah. I watched it in the commercials. When you did it, your broke the wall.

Kento: With that, I feel like it all became full circle. Suda-kun, have you’ve ever done kabedon?

Masaki: I actually never have. I’ve really wanted to do it for the longest time for a romantic film. And when I got casted in “Oboreru Knife”, I was like, “Yes! This is my chance”, but I ended up grabbing the girl by the neck and spitting in her face. It turned out to be a crazy story. I kind of wanted to play a character who did kabedon while saying, “I’ll always protect you”, but I just choked my lover.

Kento: I think that’s the major difference between you and I.

Part 4: Fan mail

Masaki: We’ve gotten some messages from the fans. Radio name: ryounerutouch, “Suda-san, Yamazaki-san, good evening!”

Kento: Good evening!

Masaki: “I have a T-shirt that says ‘Shimanchu’ in hiragana and a Pikatchu New Era cap in my room. Do you want to steal it?”

Kento: HEY, I DON’T NEED THAT! I’ve already graduated from character styled New Era caps! (listen)

Masaki: We received more messages. Radio name: dorodoro, “Yamazaki Kento-san, my leader and saviour, an incredible commander and ruler who’s magnificently wealthy, I want new sneakers that’s made out of a weird material. Please give me money.”

Kento: Hmm, that’s a little difficult. The contrast between the beginning of the message and the end is so big. It went from a Teiichi-kind-of-spirit, kind of like “I’M GOING TO CREATE MY OWN COUNTRY” to “I want new sneakers that’s made out of a weird material.”

Masaki: More messages. Radio name: baccars, “Yamazaki-san, in which part of Harajuku do they sell the Hello Kitty NEW ERA cap? I coincidentally want to buy that same exact cap. Would you like to go out with me to shop for it together?”

Kento: You’re just making fun of me, aren’t you?

Masaki: “Actually, I’m free next Saturday.”

Kento: Next Saturday, huh? I don’t think I can make it. By the way, that cap was a present from a friend. I didn’t buy clothes when I was younger. All my life before, I was just living off of clothes people gave to me. Either I was getting it from Suda-kun or I was getting it from another friend.

Masaki: I see. Right now, do you have things you wish to receive from people?

Kento: Well, the other day I went to your house, right?

Masaki: Did you find something you want?

Kento: Yeah.

Masaki: What was it? Dude, stop considering my closet as a base for your fashion inspiration.

Kento: It’s just that your closet looked more of a clothing store, than any other clothing store I’ve ever seen… I really wanted something… What was it? Um…… JUST GIVE ME EVERYTHING! (listen)

Masaki: Hey, everyone who’s listening. Isn’t this Yamazaki Kento different from the person you see on TV?

Kento: I agree.

Masaki: Kento-kun is actually a really funny person in real life.

*both start laughing*

Masaki: Okay, we got more messages. Radio name: nerikeshi. This seems more of a serious question. “Do you feel a lot of pressure filming live actions?”

Kento: *purposefully* Yeah, I definitely feel it. I always feel a lot of pressure when I do those types of things. I mean of course there’s that, but I think it’s very important to take that kind of pressure and try to think of it positively. I mean acting with that much pressure is-

Masaki: Dude, don’t you think you’ve suddenly become outgoing or something.

Kento: ?? Wait, what??

Masaki: Can you stop talking as if you’re on a TV programme right now.

Kento: Oh, have I made a mistake?

Masaki: Stop talking like that.

Kento: No, but seriously, I definitely feel a lot of pressure…. yeah, that’s it.

Masaki: Anyway, do you have any types of movies in mind that you would want to do with me? You know, since we haven’t filmed together in a while.

Kento: Yeah, the last time was when we did ‘35-sai no Koukosei’.

Masaki: In that drama, during one of the climax scene, there was a scene where you character freaked out holding a knife, while my character was there. You were all like, “I’m going to kill you!” It was such a scary scene for my character, so I had to act as if I were freaking out, but Kento wouldn’t stop laughing while we were filming. We couldn’t even film properly that time.

Kento: It’s because you were all like, “Ah, ah, oh my god, oh my god.”. It was hilarious. (listen to kento’s impersonation of masaki moaning)

Masaki: Yeah, it also probably had to do with the fact that we were closer friends back then. If we were to film right now, things would be a little different.

Kento: I feel like I play the hero role a lot, so I would like to play a villain for once.

Masaki: So like a Batman X Joker kind of thing.

Kento: I would be the Joker and you would be Batman.

Masaki: If any of the producers are listening to this right now, let’s make it happen.

Kento: Yeah, so I would be the villain and Suda-kun will play the hero.

Masaki: Okay.

Kento: Yeah.

Masaki: Was that your intent of trying to make a conclusion or something?

Kento: Yeah.

Masaki: If you have nothing new to say, you don’t have to say it.

Kento: Okay.

Masaki: Another message. Radio name: asakaraniku.

Kento: OKAY! What is it?

Masaki: You 100% ate something with garlic before this, didn’t you?

*kento starts bursting out of laughter* (listen)

Masaki: Hey, dude. Like suddenly it started smelling like garlic. I didn’t think that THE Yamazaki Kento ate meals with garlic in them.

Kento: Did you really smell it?

Masaki: Yeah.

Kento: Well, before this I had work related to “Saiki Kusuo” and I was with the director, Fukuda Yuuichi-san. When I told him I was going on your radio show, he invited me to go out to eat jingisukan (a japanese grilled mutton dish prepared on a convex metal skillet or other grill).

Masaki: Fukuda-san, why did you do that?

Kento: So we went to a place where the more garlic you put in your meal, the better it tasted. Because of that, we basically made our entire booth (private room) smell entirely of garlic. It was really intense.

Masaki: Stoooop it. When Kento leaves, I won’t be able to talk.

Kento: My plan was to breathe as much as possible right now.

Masaki: Okay, we got a message from asakaranikusan-san, “In your day-to-day life do you ever think to yourself, “Wow I’m so hot”?”

Kento: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Masaki: “If I were Yamazaki Kento I would definitely think so about myself.”

Kento: Well, yeah, I do think that about myself.

*masaki starts laughing*

Kento: No, seriously, I really think so.

Masaki: When does this thought occur to you in the day?

Kento: I guess the moment when I wake up and get up from my bed and look at the mirror-

Masaki: THAT EARLY?

Kento: Well when I’m thinking of brushing my teeth, I look at myself and think, “I’m so hot.”

Masaki: Are you serious?

Kento: No, I’m just joking. I don’t think about it at all. How about you, Suda-kun?

Masaki: I think about it every single day. Every second. I’m always like, “I’m so hot. I look great in every angle.” I always check myself out, all 360°, every angle.

Kento: Yeah, we’re both really hot.

Masaki: We’ve got more mail. Radio name: gorron, “Huh? What? Wait? Huh? This isn’t the Yamazaki Kento I was imagining earlier. Wait? Huh? I might like this version better. Wait? I have a strong feeling that his status as the “hot actor” is soon going to fade away (insinuating that he has the potential to be a comedian). My initial intention was to attack and hate on him, but I feel different now. What’s happening?”

Yeah I’m sorry. It seems like my fan doesn’t really like hot actors like you a lot, but it appears to be that a lot of people are feeling differently about you now.

Kento: I really like how I am today.

Masaki: Don’t say that about yourself!

Kento: *quoting “Teiichi’s Country”* I AM GOING TO CREATE MY OWN COUNTRY MYSELF! (listen).

Part 5: ‘100% Manga’ scenarios

Masaki: The next segment is called…… 100% MANGA!!! In this segment, our listeners are going to send us typical characters, their behaviours and situations that 100% occur in mangas. Today’s theme is “High School Mangas”.

Radio name: kamura, “The hottest guy in school who is very sadistic, who falls in love with a random girl in school that has no interest in him. He makes a move on her, but she ends up getting mad at him telling him to stop and go away. He looks down on her and responds by saying, “I can’t believe you don’t show the least bit of fascination towards me. You may be interesting.”

Kento: This situation has 100% continuously been done before. I mean this is something I’ve even done in my movies.

Masaki: Which movies?

Kento: If we’re talking about the movies I’ve done where this situation has appeared, to name a few there’s “L♥DK” and also “Wolf Girl and Black Prince”.

Masaki: Okay, so can you finish this part off with one final sentence?

Kento: ………………. “I can’t believe you don’t show the least bit of fashcin—fascinsh-”

Masaki: Okay, you’re done. (listen) Next one. Radio name: tonpicchon.

Kento: Tonpicchon! Picchontee~

Masaki: Wait a minute. I want to apologize to everyone for putting this show on hold, but I’m going to warn Kento for a second.

Kento: Okay.

Masaki: Can you stop bothering me when I’m reading the messages?

Kento: What?

Masaki: Like can you stop saying things like ‘picchontee’.

Kento: Choppintee~?

Masaki: Choppintee is also prohibited. The problem is not the actual word. Okay, I’m going to start over. Radio name: tonpicchon.

*kento laughs*

Masaki: I’m serious, stop. Time is running out. (listen)

Kento: Sorry, go on.

Masaki: “The setting is a study session. The main girl goes to her crush’s house for that reason. When they finally have some alone time together in his room, they lean over to kiss, but in that moment his mother comes in the room to bring tea or his siblings come in to disturb them. Because of that, they quickly step back and move awkwardly and the boy moves his hand on the wall and is looking at his feet.”

Kento: I don’t really feel it.

Masaki: Really?? I mean you’ve never done a scene where the characters are doing a study session, right?

Kento: Nope.

Masaki: It might be because of that. Okay, let’s go on to the next message. Radio name: natsuki, “The situation consists of a new hot male student changing schools. Soon the entire class finds out that the girl, who is the main character, knows this new student and, apart from the fact that he sits next to her in class, she is assigned to show him around school.”

Kento: This 100% has happened. I’ve done this type of scene in my movie “Orange”. Basically, wait. I probably shouldn’t say this. It might be kind of rude.

Masaki: You shouldn’t say it if you think you shouldn’t.

Kento: Well, “Orange” is an amazing and a very well written movie, and since it has a very sad plot it’s kind of hard for me to say this, but in the movie I play a student who changed schools and on his very first day he is assigned to sit next to a girl, who he’s kind of interested in. And from then on sparks fly.

Masaki: Now that I think about it, you’re so lucky. You’ve done so many romantic movies. I never get those types of roles.

Kento: I’m sure you have.

Masaki: No, not at all. My roles are either virgins or (japanese) yankiis.

Kento: No, but I always play virgins as well. They don’t seem like it, but they’re actually pure.

Masaki: I see.

Kento: We finally have something in common.

Masaki: Stop, don’t say that. It’s going to be on the news tomorrow: “Suda Masaki and Yamazaki Kento share in common their virginities.” Don’t try digging up something that’s not true.

Okay, next message. Radio name: anohinorieko, “A second male lead character who throughout the movie is supporting and helping the female lead, but in the doesn't make a move on her or taking their relationship to the next level. All through the movie he is seen to be having her back pushing her to finally be with another boy. After that, he 100% leans on the wall and slowly sits on the floor and says as he looks at his ceiling, “What am I even doing?”

Kento: I haven starred in this, but that’s literally the plot of the movie “Strobe Edge” by Yamada Yuki, who plays Ando-kun.

Masaki: STOP SAYING THE TITLE OF MOVIES THAT ARE NOT YOURS (psa: I don’t think he’s allowed to talk about it). But have you done a movie like this?

Kento: I actually have. Can I try imitating the second male lead character?

Masaki: Sure.

Kento: “Ehhhhhhh…… What am I even doing?” (listen)

Masaki: Are you sure you’ve done this type or role? What even was that “ehhhh”?

Kento: I was imagining my character in the bathtub saying that….. Can I do it again please?

Masaki: Okay, do it again.

Kento: “AHHhhhhaHHH. WHAT am I even doinG?” (listen)

Masaki: I see, I see.

Kento: Can you do it now? Do it with the intention of giving me butterflies.

Masaki: *whispers* “Ahhhhhh. What am I even doing?” (listen)

Kento: It felt great in my ears.

Masaki: Well that’s it for the “100% Manga” segment.

Kento: What? I’m so sad.

Masaki: We do it every week so it’s fine. Have you even listened to this before?

Kento: I’ve liste—I’ve never listened to it.

Masaki: *laughs* It’s fine.

*outro music starts playing*

Masaki: “What am I even doing?”

Kento: “I guess it’s fine if she’s happy.”

Part 6: More fan mail

Masaki: How are you, Kento-san?

Kento: I’m having so much fun right now.

Masaki: We got new messages for you. Radio name: houdoman, “Kento-kun, it’s so funny! Yeah, yeah. Today’s show is so funny. The only this is that I think that you’re too getting to cocky right now, just a teeny bit. I mean, you’re doing such a great job so just continue by being a little bit calmer.”

Kento: I-I’m so sorry. I’ll be sure to read the atmosphere from now on.

Masaki: I think you’re fine. Don’t worry.

Kento: Really? Am I okay? Am I still alive?

Masaki: You’re still alive, don’t worry.

Kento: If you say so….. I’LL CONTINUE THE REST OF THE SHOW LIKE THIS! (listen)

Masaki: Next message. Radio name: mall, “Kento, dude, you’re getting too fucking cocky by the minute. Since you’ve gone on the mikoshi (divine palanquin), it looks like you’ve been enjoying yourself quite a lot and you’ve been acting so arrogant. We’re not afraid of letting you go and dropping you. Were you not aware that we have dedicated all our lives to celebrate and carry amazing people on our shoulders You dumbass!” (obv this a v exaggerated joke)

Kento: My deepest apologies. I was doing it because I wanted the listeners to enjoy today’s show, but I didn’t imagine the reaction to turn out like this. From now on I—I’ll-

Masaki: Kento, it's fine. Calm down and drink a little bit of water.

*slurps*

Masaki: He doesn’t feel bad at all.

Kento: IT TASTES SO GOOOOD~ IT’S DELIIICIOUSS~~~ (listen)

Masaki: Radio name: moromoro, “I personally love all of Kento’s work, but I also think that he gets attacked a lot for it as well. But I love your work! I think “Your Lie in April” is the best!”

Kento: Umm… you could of left it just as “I love your work”. It hurts more when other people tell me that I get a lot of hate, than me just admitting to it.

*masaki starts laughing*

Masaki: Well you were the one who started saying those things about being attacked.

Kento: I shouldn’t have even mentioned it.

Masaki: After this segment finishes, we’re going to have to say goodbye to Yamazaki Kento-kun.

Kento: Ehh, I’m sad.

Masaki: What are you going to do? Are you going to stay here?

Kento: I think I’m going to leave once.

Masaki: What do you mean you’re going to leave once? Does that mean you’re coming back?

Kento: I think I’m going to go to the bathroom and stuff.

Masaki: There are more messages coming in. Radio name: omoshirosugiman, “I have a line that I want both of you to say: “Let’s go watch the fireworks next week. Just the two of us.””

Kento: “Let’s go watch the fireworks. Just the two of us.” (listen)

Masaki: Wowww.

Kento. I think I did a really great job right now. Now it’s your turn.

Masaki: “Let’s go see fireworks next week. Just the two of us.” (listen)

Kento: Ohh… That sounded really nice.

Masaki: Since it’s summer, I tried a sexier kind of tone. We got another messages from jamuoojiobasan, “Excuse me, but I realized in the middle of the show that something was wrong, but Kento Yamazaki…. are you really that stupid? I apologize if I’m in the wrong right now, but are you stupid?”

Kento: Nooo. My name means ‘clever person’ so there is no way I’m stupid. It’s impossible. To write my name, you literally have to write ‘clever human’ (賢: clever; 人: human). *masaki is dying of laughter during this* It’s a name that my father and mother chose and took their time to think over. They named me that because they believed in me and thought it was the best fit for me. But that’s my opiniooon.

Masaki: We got more messages from jeankeijean, “Suda-san, Yamazaki-san, please let me request a line for you guys to say. Please say, “Do you want to come over since I’m good at making rice balls?”” (It’s kind of a tongue twister when you say it in japanese)

Kento: I’m going to go for a natural kind of way to say it. *does the exact opposite* “Do you want to come over since I’m good at making rice balls?”

Masaki: Hey, hey, hey. You’re just fooling around.

Kento: It’s really hard to say it, just try. Do you want to—do you want to- What?

Masaki: Okay, I’ll try. *says it perfectly* “Do you want to come over since I’m good at making rice balls?”

Kento: Wow, you’re so good.

Masaki: Why don’t you try saying it again?

Kento: “Do you want to come over……. since I’m good at making… rice balls?”

*starts laughing*

Masaki: Why can’t you do it?

Kento: I don’t know. (listen)

Masaki: But wait, what kind of line is this? WAIT. Why did this person make us say this?

Kento: She probably wanted us to make rice balls.

Masaki: Why would someone go to another person’s house because of their rice ball skills? Anyway, radio name: shindome, "I want you to guys say this line-”

Kento: “Hey, let’s go catch it… THAT BIG ASS BEETLE TOGETHER!” (listen) ….. I was aiming for that whole “battling each other” kind of scene. It wasn’t really that good… Can you say it next?

Masaki: Kento- kun, you want me to do it?

Kento: Please ♥︎

Masaki: Let’s go catch it… that big ass beetle together ♥︎ (listen)

Kento: That was kind of sexy.

Masaki: Is anyone even enjoying this?

Kento: Is this okay for you guys?

Masaki: I feel like the only thing we’re doing is pouring our heart out for this.

Kento: Yeah, I’m sweating in weird places right now.

Masaki: What even was this segment? Kento-kun, do you want to rest a little?

Part 7: Even more fan mail & Kento’s mannerisms towards Masaki

Kento: “There’s this person I like that doesn’t look at me nor pay much attention to me. Are you asking me what I should do? Do you know why giraffes have long necks? It’s to eat the leaves of tall trees. What am I trying to say is that, in order to be with someone you can’t reach, the only possible way to reach them is to be a giraffe. All you have to do is make your neck longer slowly and steadily, and you’ll be fine. Any person would look at someone who has a long neck. I’m sure she’ll look at your neck. So the only thing left is to wait for your neck to get long. THIS WAS YAMAZAKI’S KENTO ALL NIGHT NIPPON!”

I was so annoying just now.

Masaki: Yeah, you sounded really stupid. By the way, we forced him to say this.

Kento: Exactly, it was in the script.

Masaki: Sure, but no one told you to read it like that…

Kento: It was really fun.

Masaki: We have more messages! Radio name: soshitarasoredekekkoudesu. “Recently Suda-san —although he really doesn’t have to— has been training to get a little muscular. Has Kento-san been training as well?”

Kento: I have. I’ve been going to the gym a lot.

Masaki: Wasn't there a time long ago when you suddenly became so big (fit)? It was right in the moment when I was training for the boxing movie.

Kento: But didn’t you get so thin right after that?

Masaki: Yeah, that was for ‘Teiichi’. In terms of getting fit and gaining weight, do you do it because they tell you to or do you do it on your own will?

Kento: Well, for ‘JOJO’, when I read the manga, my character is obviously so big and muscular, so I know I had to do it.

Masaki: Yeah, he’s not even full Japanese.

Kento: I ended up gaining 10kg.

Masaki: Wow, really? I also gained 10kg for the boxer role, but it’s so hard to gain weight. It's way easier to lose weight than to gain.

Kento: I agree.

Masaki: Are there any other roles that you feel that you put a lot of effort in?

Kento: Yeah, all my roles. No, but in all seriousness, for example, for “Death Note”, when I was filming the drama, I was still filming “Mare”. I was already thin when I was filming “Mare”, so I decided to lose more weight filming “Death Note” because I thought it was better for the appearance for my character. How about you?

Masaki: The only times I changed my weight for a role was for “Princess Jellyfish” and for the boxer. I haven’t trained much for my roles. Until what age do you think you’ll be able to wear a school uniform? When it was announced that I was going to star in “My Little Montster”, I commented that it was going to be the last time that I was going to wear a uniform for a movie. I remember you said a while back that you weren’t going to do more roles wearing uniforms, but…

Kento: I definitely think I’ve worn a lot of uniforms in my career.

Masaki: Up until now, what color blazers have you worn for your roles?

Kento: There’s a lot. Green, black, navy blue, brown, black.. But I’ve also worn jackets, chouran (”JOJO” style uniform)…

Masaki: For “My Little Monster”, my blazer was orange. And when I looked at myself wearing the blazer, I thought that that would be my last high schooler role. I thought that because I used to wear Gakuran (a type of Japanese school uniform with a stand-up collar, a long jacket and loose pants X) back when I was in high school. People who used to wear Gakuran get embarassed when they were blazers. Do you feel that?

Kento: When I was in high school, since I wore a blazer, in my first role where I had to put on a blazer, it felt good.

Masaki: How old are you? You’re 22, right?

Kento: Yeah, I’m almost 23.

Masaki: What do you want for your birthday?

Kento: I want you to take me to a thrift-store that you go to often. We haven’t been to one in a while.

Masaki: Oh, yeah, by the way, I want to confront you about something. One day, suddenly, you started talking to me in tameguchi (In japanese depending who you’re talking to, you have to speak in one way or another. Obviously if you’re talking to someone who’s older that you, you talk in a more respectful and formal manner aka keigo and if you’re talking to a really close friend or a family member, you talk in a informal manner aka tamego). I really don’t care what kind of way you talk to me, but—

Kento: *talking in tamego* Oh, really?

Masaki: STOP THAT!

Kento: Suda-kun, suda-kun.

Masaki: Stop pointing at me… Anyway, one day, you were like, “It’s okay if I just call you Masaki, right?”

Kento: Oh, yeah.

Kento: You always called me Suda-kun, but one day you asked me that. Actually, when you started calling me Masaki, I was really happy. I mean, technically, age-wise you should be talking to me in keigo, but I didn’t really care. But recently, when we’re texting, you always talk to me in keigo.

Kento: The thing is… *in tamego* Listen, okay, so… *in keigo* Please listen to me.

Masaki: Stop!

Kento: Well, you’re my senpai….. You’re not only my senpai in my life, but you’re my…… you’re just my senpai in my life, basically.

Masaki: Oh, so there’s no and?

Kento: *in tamego* If I become too friendly with you, I’ll end up talking to you in tamego. *in keigo* I’ll end up talking to you in tamego. So, before I was like, “I’m going to talk to you in tamego!” But then I realized that you’re my senpai.

Masaki: So when you started using tameguchi, you felt weird?

Kento: Yeah, I don’t know why. *in tamego* But Suda-kun, you’re um… you’re…

*masaki laughs*

Kento: You’re the eldest.

Masaki: You mean between my brothers? Yeah, I’m the eldest of three.

Kento: Between your siblings, the youngest is Kento, right? I also happen to be the youngest.

Masaki: Oh, so the same “Kento” connection. You see, this is really confusing. My younger brother’s name is also Kento. How about in your family?

Kento: I have an older brother. I’m the younger one.

Masaki: I see. So what you’re trying to say is that I, Masaki, the eldest of my siblings, whose youngest brother is called Kento, and you, Kento, the youngest sibling, who has an older brother, is the reason why you use keigo with me.

Kento: Well, kind of. But other that, you’re really good at cooking.

Masaki: Have I made you food before?

Kento: Yeah. I'll never forget the curry you once made me.

Masaki: You’re such a liar.

Kento: The avocado cream curry that you made me—

Masaki: That's so nostalgic. You had so many refills that day. You told me that you wanted the sweet version and the spicy version, so I had to use two frypans to make it for the day after.

Kento: Exactly.

Masaki: I remember being like, “Aren’t I your senpai? Why do I have to make two types of curry for you?”

Kento: It’s because you’re nice.

Masaki: I remember in one plate you had on the right side the sweet version and on the left the spicy one.

Kento: Well, Suda-kun, apart from being my senpai, to me you’re kind of like an older brother figure to me. I can’t call you Masaki.

Masaki: I guess. I mean, if anything you should call me by my real name.

*and in that moment your heart skipped a beat. “his rEAL NAME?????”, you must be thinking. he’s right. his name is fake. now you guys are probably screaming. “but i thought his name was suda masaki” BITCH IT AINT. DONT WORRY LIL FELLA IM GOIN THRU THIS RN. AFTER 11 MONTHS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, AFTER WATCHING 10 MOVIES, 3 DRAMAS, BUYING 2 SOLO SINGLES & MANY MAGAZINES AND WATCHING HUNDREDS OF HIS INTERVIEWS I NEVER KNEW THAT ‘SUDA MASAKI’ WASN’T HIS REAL NAME. THE WORLD IS QUAKING, THE DINASOURS ARE RESURRECING & SATAN HAS RISEN WE ARE ALL SHOOK. ARE YALL READY TO HEAR HIS FUCKING NAME OH MY GOD ITS (no offence ily bb) but iTS THE UGLIEST THING YOULL EVER HEAR (im totally kidding) ITS… ITSS….. SUGOU TAISHOU.

and this is my queue to jump off a cliff :))) antiways here are some text posts i made when i found out about this fake ass lil bitch x x x x x

ok lets get back to the show*

Masaki: It seems like the show is coming to an end.

Kento: Are you serious?

Masaki: We have a new message. Radio name: mokemokestudio, “I’ve never seen such a ridiculously free-spirited actor in my life.”

Kento: Thank you.

Masaki: “You were really great, but you were also really annoying. Kento, good job! Thank you.”

Kento: Thanks, mokemoke!

Masaki: But wasn’t this a surprise for everyone? You know, this raw-kind-of-Kento. You’ve never had the opportunity to talk like this before, right?

Kento: Yeah, it was so much fun. I don’t want to leave. I think you’re amazing. Just thinking about the fact that you do this every week alone is amazing.

Masaki: *laughs* I would appreciate it if you tell me these kind words after the show ends.

Kento: Bu—but you’re my senapi.

Masaki: Stop! Don’t pretend like you meant what you just said. Just leave.

*outro music starts*

Masaki: Today’s guest was Yamazaki Kento! Thank you so much!

Kento: Thank you so much! Suda-kun, thank you so much!

Masaki: Any last words you want to say?

Kento: Ok….. Suda-kun, I love you.

Masaki: Are you okay with that being your last words?

Kento: Um… What should I say?……. *quoting “JOJO”* This was great! (listen)

Part 8: Last & final goodbye!

❋ masaki now alone ❋

Masaki: Yamazaki Kento really is gone now. He’s a really funny guy. We have received a lot of messages concerning him. Radio name: moufu, “Just before the commercial started, right after his embarrassing confession, he ended with an A+ comment. Kento is really amazing.” Right? He started saying, “I love you” and all that nonsense and ruined the mood, but he ended with “This was great.” It was like BAM!!! He’s the type of guy that when he puts his heart into something, he does it perfectly. Let’s hope that he comes back in the future.

. . . .

❋ while Masaki was finishing the show, Kento started bothering him ❋

Masaki: Guys, wait a minute. I’m so sorry, but I’m going to put this on hold for a second. While I was reading your guys’ messages, Yamazaki Kento-kun just came back and is next to me with his arm around me, and he won’t stop taking pictures of me. You can hear the shutter right? He's so annoying. When are you going to seriously leave?

Kento: *starts laughing* I'll leave, don’t worry.

Masaki: No, no, no. Don’t say “I’ll leave, don’t worry.”

Kento: Suda-kun.

Masaki: What?

Kento: Suda Masaki’s All Night Nippon!

Masaki: Yeah, and? Earlier you ended it so perfectly with “This was great!”

Kento: Oh—oh, okay. I’ll leave then.

Masaki: You smell like garlic! LEAVE!

Kento: Bye, Suda-kun!

Masaki: Bye!… Are you seriously going to end it like this?

Kento: It was great.

Masaki: Hmm? It’s a bit different…

Kento: Bye!…. Thankyousomuch!

Masaki: Stop!

Kento: Good morning!

Masaki: Even though it’s past midnight don’t say good morning.

Kento: Thank you so much! (listen)

Second Topic: What would you tell your past self?

D. M. Production’s Social Initiative is a movement that makes up the base of DMP. We trade tips, advice, and share information that could help one another. A very introspective topic that pulled a ton of responses was "What would you tell your past self?"

Many of our members had a lot to say. Varying from "Don't do this" to advice about the lifestyles they once led and are currently leading. Some of the things we wanted to tell our past selves included: (All quoted. Please excuse any language, we are all grown here. Also this was all gathered in a safe social space, grammar is not our concern.)

○ Get your license before grad school. Don't take caffeine pills to pull all righters. Don't skip prom for the avengers premiere

○ Don't be afraid to speak. Don't flirt with everyone. Don't take things so seriously

○ DON'T LET THEM CUT YOUR HAIR

○ Don't be afraid to do what makes you happy.

○ Don't let pride take over

○ Stretch always!

○ Start a saving fund asap

○ Don't be afraid or ashamed to feel. You aren't in love and you won't be for years and years. You are gonna have bad days, and everyone will tell you that you're just lazy. But your feelings are valid and it's okay. You aren't crazy. You'll learn soon that you're just mentally ill, and that doesn't make you any less or more important than everyone else. Learn from your mistakes, because you will make them. Insist on being taught how to drive, and don't let anyone tell you no because you don't pay attention. Be annoying until you learn, cuz it's important. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

○ It's okay to walk away from toxic people.

○ Fuck them. If it makes YOU happy do it.

○ Real talk.. its ok to try and let ppl in. Your "spartan pride " is goin to drive ppl away. Paranoia will smack u in the mouth and u will feel like everyone is out for you. Some are some aren't females will come and go. Even tho they hurt you ot doesnt mean everyone else (regardless of gender) will. Most problems can be solved without use of fists knees elbows etc. Try to talk it out first. Some ppl soon will try to get you to open up. Let them. Take one day as it comes. You put more pressure on yourself than anyone else

○ Patience is a virtue but don't let people abuse it.

It being yours

○ You need to speak up. Or you finna get cursed and fussed while still being the bad guy. It's okay to say something it doesn't make YOU the bad guy it's makes your feeling valid.

○ Don't get so attached to your friends that you can't make new ones

○ You like girls baby it's okay your friends and family will still love you and accept you

○ Step out of your comfort zone, it's how you grow as a person.

○ You don't have to have black friends to be black. Your punker friends are genuine and will stick around much longer then everyone else

○ Stop trying play on that knee, rehab and get it looked at

○ The world will only see you as black first so it's ok to listen to trap music in white neighborhoods on full blast. Their gonna call cops even if your not

○ YOU GO THROUGH ANOTHER PUBERTY AFTER 21 YOUR NOT DYING AND STOP LOOKING SHIT UP ON GOOGLE AND GO TO THE DOCTOR

○ Just because they are giving you "attention" doesn't mean their intentions are right.

○ If you don't want to be what others want you to be. Don't.

They aren't living your life, you are. At the end of the day, you gotta live with the person you become.

So aim to be the best version of yourself.

○ Don't try and make a situation work if you know it ain't going anywhere. It is okay to walk away, even if you put so much emotional effort into it.

○ Don't fuck her

○ Fuck Him

○ Don't get caught up in the positive reinforcement of social media. Don't look for likes and comments. Look for things that'll help you grow.

○ Don't let others judgement/criticism of you being a virgin beat you up mentally. There is nothing wrong with waiting to have sex. If people keep putting you down because you're waiting, they aren't your friends.

○ No homie tats or piercings

○ Don't be so insecure about your body. It's going to change, you're gonna have fluff and rolls and marks. You're still beautiful, you'll still be riding faces.

○ Mind ya business. You can't save everybody. Focus on yourself.

○ *tells self the lottery numbers*

○ Your lazy af stop making promises that you'll help people when you know you won't

○ SAVE SOME FUCKING MONEY

○ Be more open minded.

○ Don't fuck with close minded people you will never be understood and you will have a constant headache

○ Get out of your room and make friends your freshmen year of college

○ Adult DO NOT know everything

○ Change your major

○ Your are not to short to model babe do commercial or print and show tf off

○ Your imagination is the right direction to shoot for

○ Make peace with your Dad's side of the family.

○ You have a natural talent for literally anything you wanna do.

○ You don't have to respect your parent or parents if they didn't do anything to deserve it.

○ Do NOT be friends wit a coke dealer

○ Don't stop playing that instrument. You'll regret it tremendously.

○ You gone be one of the weird kids in school but it's okay you finna be popping later

○ Niggas well say anything if it keeps them from being the bad guy

○ Get your hoodies back

Party foul! Why you snatching back hoodies?!

You ain't getting hoodies back. Should have bought two of the same.

DEF GET UR HOODIES BACK

NO HOODIES BACK

You forfeited those hoodies my guy

You aint gon get em back. Somewhere in you, you knew they was gone

But take their rompers!!!! REVOLUTION

let me see u try

#RunThemRompersRevolution

Viva la romper revolution!!!

Clearly we went off on a tangent, but we got back on it. But as you can see there was tons of advice people had for their younger selves. And this is not even half of the things people had to say. People clearly led lives they learned from and we hope that others can learn from their experiences as well, especially if you happen to be going through anything at the moment.

We leave you with this:

Be confident and be open. Not everyone will do what's best for you, but you can so be smart and make decisions you can be happy with. But don't forget to live your life! We only got one, enjoy it!

Impromptu post, thoughts during 5.05

I'm so pissed I literally lost an earring at some point today and just realized. So I ripped my dorm room apart looking for it (no luck of course) and now it's 9:30 so I already missed half of the new episode of Jane the Virgin. Also my earrings are from Tiffany's, they were a Christmas gift a couple years ago & I can't afford to replace it😭 whatever you guys don't care about this, I'm so tired but I refuse to fall asleep at 9:30pm because I'll wake up at like 5am. So I decided to watch a random episode of Call The Midwife and share my thoughts.

Ok I'm going with 5.05, since we just saw 6.05 lol, idk If there's any logic but just go with it alright

ah the old credits, I really like the new ones though. Especially the color

"We were moving from a time of guessing.." I love how the show explains & shows that times are changing

The health report! Littt

"I feel a drumroll is in order" Shelagh is so precious!! 💖 I love her Scottish accent && side note I still wish they would mention one day how she got London. It literally does not matter at all but we know next to nothing about her past and im curious ?! More of Shelagh’s past pls

WAIT ONE OF MY FAV SHELAGH LINES IS COMING

"Patrick Turner, GP License to Practice Medicine and Secret Agent Shelagh Turnova save Poplar from ill health and disease!" I LOVE ITTTT😂 ONE OF HER BEST LINES EVER DONT @ ME, her laugh at the end is priceless ah! Shelagh is lowkey funny af she just rarely gets to opportunity and again Laura Main is an actual gem 😍

KEEP FIT

Trixie looking so good😍 i need her to whip my ass back in to shape. i havent worked out in like 3 months yikes

but seriously is this really my train of thoughts if i dont mention how perfect Helen George is?

yea its fuccking cancer, cigs are no joke

lol did they really not notice Tim reading Freud?

Also why did Shelagh ever think smoking cigarettes was a good idea after she freaking had tb? i forgive her though shes my bby💕

phyllis! my mother and hero

oh yea this lady cant read

forgot she was a ex-prostitute

vi and fred doing jumping jacks im dead, theyre a cute couple

Where did frankincense come from??

lol violet didnt wanna give up the bathroom door "we may be married but i still have my dignity"

Mrs Dooly? Is that her name (idk)

I can so see Shelagh delivering her baby herself like this lady did, but obviously she’d know what’s happening. You think Shelagh is going to freak out while giving birth though? hmm

"I do like a milky brew" WHY IS THAT FUNNY😂😂 I like the Delia & Sister MJ interaction

PHYLLIS TRYING TO RIDE A BIKE IS SYMBOLISM FOR ME TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS SEMESTER #barelymanaging

does laying on a door really help a messed up back?

Those awful sleeves on Delia's uniform *cringe*

"I am not trusted with medical emergencies" I TRUST YOU SISTER MJ💕 lowkey hope the delivery sister MJ is involved in is Shelagh's

If I had to deliver my own baby I'd be freaking the fuck out too, like I'm not Dr Quinn

The Nonnatus Fam all at the table makes me happy😭

Sister Winifred rolling her eyes in the back 😂😂😂

"I'll be washing my hair and reading magazines from now on" yo sister Winifred is growing on me tbh?? Wow lol

"Ive always assumed the results of the male organ to be more rewarding than the organ itself" 😂😭 love sister MJ

Everyone in the convent shook😂 again sister W has the best reactions 😂 dick jokes are 100x funnier when they're made in a convent & 1000x funnier when they're made by a nun

Shelagh's "percussion" on Tim's back I'm dead lmfaoo

I don't remember if she has post partum ?

Fred taking over the shop😂 I miss when Fred used to scam though😭

"I'm missing my monthlys" "monthly whats?" Oh Fred cmon 😂

Tim snatching those cigarettes

Barbara trying to measure this lady😂😂 she's so awkward, love it

She leaves her baby outside smh

"Gosh James knows how to show a chap a nice time" ANOTHER GREAT SHELAGH LINE😂 give my bby more great lines 😭😂

I LOVE CHEEKY SHELAGH, I LOVE SHELAGH ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN SHE HAS NO LINES OR IS CRYING AND SAD (WHICH IS TOO OFTEN & WE NEEDA CUT THAT OUT)

Laura Main and Helen George calmly ruined me, I never was like this? How did I end up literally crying every week for fictional characters ??

Shelagh and Patrick's faces were so smug just now I love it

Yikes those lungs

Reminds me of all the gross anti smoking commercials. Also Patrick is shook but I'm not too surprised

I love that Phyllis is so understanding and doesn't judge any patient 💕

"You have the rest of your life to get the hang of it" I NEEDED THAT TOO PHYLLIS THANKS

LMAO FRED "Because hell will freeze over first"

so yes post partum??

Phyllis is annoyed bc she wants to work on her Spanish and babs is taking too long with the dishes 😂😂te querio mucho phyllis

Tim sparking up lol 🚬

Here comes trouble

I wanna rip Patrick's index finger off. Remember that time he wagged his finger and Shelagh and I was ready TO FREAKING FLIP

but yea wtf you knew this would happen Tim

Shelagh's just like "Tim no" I love u Shelagh but what does that do lmao your husband is exploding

"You'll what, light it for me!?" BOYYYY ARE YOU BRAVE KID

If I responded like that my parents would've flipped, there most likely would've been a chancla coming at me 😭😂

But seriously Patrick should know better not to smoke lol

What does Roxanne mean this isn't real??

Aw cute Patrick and Tim moment, and a year later they're getting drunk off one beer and throwing darts into the wall😂

I want to see more of Phyllis with babies aww

Also not really related but I hope Phyllis has some good lines defending the pill when it comes back up. Remember when she had babs shook when she told the story of the soldier she spent a weekend away with😏 imagine her telling the other nurses?

Used to hang out at a Jazz club Patrick?? lol interesting

damn get that radium treatment man

"The real magic is keeping on when all you want to do is run" Phyllis Fucking Crane spilling the tea as always. How did I not like her once upon a time??

Could Shelagh get any cuter eating biscuits? No she could not

lol biscuits aren't just for fainters!! Ah I don't miss sister Ursula 🙃

that's not your mother😐 (I knew where she was going though but you know I'm gonna say it anyway)

More Shelagh and Phyllis interaction yes pls

How much is a shilling? #ignorantamerican

Fred hiding from the costumers 😂😂

Yes Vi! Defend ur man & kick this rude ass lady out

Lol now Patrick telling other people to quit smoking. Don Draper tried man, it's gonna take u a while 😭

I'm here for the Phyllis and Sister W dynamic (more now that Phyllis is teaching her how to drive 😂)

Ah I love going back to old episodes when I know what happens in the future, also I notice things I didn't notice before and make connections and yea, you catch my drift lmao

"We don't choose to be unloved by those who should love us"💔

we truly don't deserve Phyllis. SHE'S TALKING ABOUT HER MOTHER AND IM CRYING

"Shame will keep us in all kinds of prisons if we let it" 😭😭😭

Patrick has a puppy face rn

Wait they went this long without naming the baby??

omg speaking of that, I really want to know what the gender of baby Turner is going to be and what it will be named😭😭

Vi is precious lol & Fred lifting her is cute. Patrick never lifts Shelagh😂

Aw speaking of my bbys💕💕

So precious it’s almost strange Turner family moment

Why do so many people hate that couch? Like it doesn't bother me or maybe I don't care enough about the background?

Angela has grown so much in a year wow, she looks a lot younger here

lol Shelagh and Patrick are like "um wtf psychology??" 😂

Wait Angela made a noise😂 when will she actually speak??

Haha Shelagh you're going to need new dresses but you don't know yet 😭😂💕 I still can't believe she's having a baby. I Love it.

"You're my world" lol that was so cute but also I still think Tim is too perfect of a child?? what teenager is so pleasant with his parents all the time 😂 plus he's always with them and his baby sister? #givetimalife2k17aka1962

Aww all the cute concluding moments & Vanessa Redgrave saying something profound and we are done.

#call the midwife #my rambles #thoughts #you tired of me yet #?#I will never run out of comments #I have too much to say #all the time #lets get it 1962 #protect my bbys at all costs though

Interesting message to wake up to:

“ I have a bit of a random question. I am not trying to be rude or accusing, just genuinely curious.

Why are you so vocal about US politics? I understand what happens over here effects everyone (though largely I think it's because we can't keep our hands to ourselves or shut up), but a lot of the people I follow who aren't american have added tags associated with our politics to their blacklist (can't say I blame them, I'm sick of hearing about it and I live here).

You are easily one of the most vocal and prolific bloggers on my dash when comes to US politics (Mark Ruffalo outranks you in that regard, unsurprisingly). You could easily get annoyed and leave it be; you can't vote or influence our government directly beyond assisting awareness.

So I can't help but wonder, why?”

- - - -

If you have to ask that question, then I do not think you understand the gravity of the situation.

Every country has political concerns, ours is a Prime Minister that keeps lying and keeps money in off-shore bank accounts so he doesn’t have to pay tax on it. Still, a slight step up from budgie-smuggler boy and his incredible feats of racism, misogyny, and onion-eating.

But the US tends to set a benchmark. America had Obama, during a time when the rest of the world was in chaos. Australia’s PM position was reduced to a game of musical chairs, the UK had the whole Brexit thing, human rights were being violated in other countries every second of every day and you don’ want to know what was happening to animals.

Obama, despite the blatantly racist haters, did a lot for that country; a lot that Trunk is now undoing, like a spiteful child that just moved into their cool older sibling’s room and immediately trashing anything that reminds them it was not theirs to begin with. Healthcare, human rights protections, unemployment decreasing, etc. And the man basically took over the presidency while everything was on fire; you know, like that one COMMUNITY gif, where the dude turned up with pizza for a party.

He, and his family, were always under attack; but he still did his best to protect the citizens of the country. Overturning quite a few fucked up laws, and those are just the ones the rest of the world knew about. I have no doubt he got a few bills across his desk that he laughed at as he set them on fire; or the political equivalent.

Fast-forwards to now.

Apart from the fact the US has the weirdest fucking voting system ever, where the person with the most votes can still lose; and no one is legally required to vote, but has to register every election, which means that their votes can be discounted with ‘computing errors’. The country made a mistake.

The hypocrisy of not wanting a Jewish man with heaps of political experience, or a woman with years of political experience, for President... is telling; considering what you elected anyway. I was very loud then, too. Why? Because it was blatantly obvious to everyone from the outside how dangerous the Repubic-lican candidate(s) were and are. Think of it like standing on the beach, noticing a shark heading towards the surfers; you are calling out, “Look, there’s a fucking shark, move your ass mate!”, and only a few of them decide to swim in. The rest tell you that the shark has the right to be there, and that the shore’s emails are probably more of a problem.

It was seriously concerning how many people were pro-Repub, pro-trunk. How they could not hear what he was saying; not understand that the rest of the world saw him as one hell of a dangerous practical joke being played on you all. And he was a joke, right up until he was elected and people realised, ‘Well fuck, he’s a problem now that he’s infringing on our white rights?’.

Which the POC, LGBPTA+, disabled, and other communities could have told you from the start. (Which is why it’s so confusing to see people still at his rallies with ‘Women for Trunk’ and ‘Blacks for Trunk!’ signs... do you not know what he’s doing or are you getting paid?)

And the worst part is that if you remove this man, it’s like a matroyshka doll of bad decisions, trying to replace him. You have the ‘let’s electrocute the gays straight’ Pence, next in line... and he’s the tip of the racist/misogynistic/homophobic conservative iceburg, right? Everyone else after that is equally problematic.

He bragged on live tv that he doesn’t pay taxes... like, at what point does your privilege run out?

Average peopl would fail to file taxes one year and lose everything. But not Trunk, oh no.

The man in charge of everything, not only has no actual understanding of what he’s doing or basic legislative powers... but he’s a god-damned pedophile, racist, rapist, scam/conartist, and probably a dozen other things we don’t know about because he’s papered over it with money nd fancy lawyers.

His 13yr old victim had to give up prosecuting the injustice done against her, bc people were sending her death threats on his behalf. The man openly says on multiple occasions, he’d like to fuck his daughter (including sexualising his newborn in an interview about her birth, which was downright creepy, and more recently saying that what he has in common with his daughter is ‘Hopefully sex!’). The man bought beauty pageants to perv on the women involved; and has groped people inappropriately, then joked about it on stage.

What he did to his former wives is horrific; and he used gag orders to keep them quiet.

The fact he, not only mocked a disabled reporter so disrespectfully to the sound of Repubic-lican applause... but ALSO bragged he could kill someone in the middle of a public street and get away with it??? to further applause??? That has so many red flags, it’s hard to understand why people still supported him?

The amount of lawsuits against him, for his various scams and cons, was ridiculously high. There are multiple stories (with evidence) of this man taking advantage of businesses and ruining them.

‘A businessman is exactly what america needs!’ THE MAN BANKRUPTED A CASINO. How do you do that? Also, he was given a million dollars and the business to start with; like, he’s pretty much done nothing except open a string of failed side businesses, and fucked them up.

And he believes ‘hard work will get you places’ ironically.

He doesn’t like poor people, and yet a lot of his constituents make up the demographic of people living near or below minimum wage. He doesn’t believe in universal healthcare; Obamacare/ACA is close enough to our Medicare system, and it keeps us alive. It’s imperative to the functioning of such a large country? but he doesn’t like the idea of it taking money from the government.

Not to mention, the man flat-out stated he would refuse to use existing services (white house, security), meaning that he’d found a loophole wherein he could pay himself millions of dollars a fucking day in order to be President. The security, trunk tower, etc.

And he claims his business has an impartial trust board in place, to make certain he can’t be accused of financial interests contrary to those of the american people... but, whoops, that’s not happening. Not to mention he came right out and was using his presidential platform to bitch about Nordstrom dropping his daughter’s brand. Commercial interest, much?

What did he have on Hillary? Emails. She and her staff used private emails to send a few political memos, some fucking lolcat memes, and more than one altruistic email about rendering aid to someone. And apparently that made her shadier than him??? Since he was elected, the presidonk went out of his way to tweet from his private account, his entire staff (and wasn’t hiring a debacle?) uses private emails to send important messages, and he has a very strong online presence which seems counter-intuitive to retaining some degree of secrecy. (E.g. as seen by the man taking a classified briefing at a dinner party, wherein people had the opportunity to freaking get photos of the secret service members and documents).

The WALL. He said he was going to build a big wall, and make the people he was keeping out, pay for it. And people felt that was a stroke of genius. ???????????????

Claiming he would ‘ban all Muslims’. By which he clearly meant, ‘anyone who is any shade of brown or black, because I don’t know what a Muslim is, but I sure don’t like them’. People during segregation would probably side-eye this man for his odd views; also probs bc he’s perpetually orange.

The russia affair. Everyone with two brain cells to rub together can see something shady af is happening there. There’s a connection, there were long-standing deals, and suddenly russia hacks election results? Like... it makes total sense. Trunk is like a parody or himself, a big old puppet that any world leader could manipulate with the right words. And what an opportunity, for whomsoever got their words in his ear first.

Not to mention the whole #AlternativeFacts bullshit. Dude can’t lie well; small children are more plausible.

‘But her emails’.

You ever noticed that almost every single world leader appears physically repulsed when meeting him? That kind of person you get that, ‘be ready to run or fight at any second’ feeling from? Its on their faces, and yet they have to play nice.

It was just interesting.

Especially when you add in the look on his current wife’s face whenever he’s not looking directly at her. Fear, or something more complex.

Trunk is infringing on basic human rights. Like Hitler.

He singled out a specific race/ethnic or religious group/minority to target in his campaign speeches. Like Hitler.

He’s calling the media false, and telling people to only listen to him. Like Hitler.

He was a joke to start with. So was Hitler, right before he killed several million people.

People are going to die, if they have not already. He doesn’t like free healthcare/the Obamacare system because why should he pay for poor people to keep living?

We’ve established he’s very... racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, etc. These are known facts. Not #alternativefacts, these can be proven.

He’s dangerous, like a toddler in a tantrum with their hand on the nuclear launch button. There is no one in his staff to tell him ‘No’, or ‘That’s fucking stupid, try again, you great big orange wanker’. He’s surrounded by yesmen with even more dangerous/radical conservative belief systems. A good leader must have someone who will challenge them on their edicts and ideas; e.g. the way our PM can say, ‘I want unicorns for everyone’, but it has to go through the Parliament, who can then say, ‘Fuck you, how will you fund it you ludicrous bogan bastard?’ and it becomes a conversation-slash-argument. At the moment, the Repubic-licans own the President, and the Senate; which means that bad ideas are just going to become reality and a lot of people are placed in danger.

Just, you know, not anyone Trunk cares about.

He didn’t even have a staff when he goddamn came into power. Like he didn’t want the win, just the notoriety of running and suddenly he had to do Things and Stuff, with all those icky Responsibilities, he’d been using money to keep away for years.

And now? He’s chosen a series of terrible people for the most inappropriate positions possible. The Education Minister believes kids should work instead, and has no idea how the education system works at all. The head of security fucked up so bad he had to resign within a fortnight of employment.

He fired the Attorney General for DOING HER JOB.

The CIA don’t want to tell Trunk anything, bc they know he’ll have a long dreamy phonecall with his russian bff.

He’s got a defence minister out there threatening to leave NATO, unless other countries put more effort into a war no one wants.

He’s antagonised hostile countries.

He actually tried to build the fucking wall.

He literally instigated a Muslim ban, and threw a tantrum when the court said, “Bruh, the fuck? Did you even read the constitution? Or do we need to hire someone to read it to you???”

He’s just done so much shit in under a month, it’s obscene, and there’s u to four years left of this. And people still support it?

His fanbase are largely: > rich and relying on his affinity for affluence to keep them safe, >obscenely conservative, and want him to enforce their ideologies (including removing bodily autonomy from predominantly ciswomen & transmen in relation to pregnancy/birthcontrol/abortion access, etc.) >uneducated people from low socioeconomic backgrounds who believe in the promises he makes about mproving things >neo-n*zi/racists who would love nothing more than to have free reign to remove anyone not ‘white enough’ for their liking (inclu. POC, jews, gay people, etc.) >Misogynists, Rapists, Pedophiles who see him as president and think, ‘If he can get away with it to the point he’s elected head of country... then who is to stop me?’ >And various other problematic groups.

Why should people who are not american care?

It does affect us to a certain degree, but the reality is... this is a thing that’s happening right now, to people, and none of them can leave. It’s called empathy, it’s called keeping a spotlight on him, and exposing the shady shit he’s up to.

Hitler was a joke, until things got real.

The difference was that social media and the internet didn’t exist. People got their information from specific hitler-approved media (you know, how trunk wants everyone to get news from him and fox alone?), but today... there are hundreds of thousands of eyewitnesses to everything. They can reach out and share it with the rest of the world, who are paying attention. He can’t make shit up without a thousand voices + downcrying it as the falsehood it was. There is global opposition to his nonsense, and it sends a message.

He’s not getting away with what he wants to do. He can try. But history has its eyes on him; and so does the world.

It is important to be vocal about it, to never let him forget that he can buy people to shout at his rallies, but people around the world and in his country, KNOW the shit he’s up to. Know what he is.

Right down to the second he makes a bad decision, the world will know. Because social media exists, because vigilant people exist and can mobilise. Did you see the Women’s March? That was the power of being loud, being organised, being ready to respond. That’s a good example of why it matters.

As long as people are suffering, someone should be paying attention, drawing attention, and seeking ways to help. In the US, in other countries that have far worse happening; and many do. But for now, the reality is that a world powerhouse has a foolish, dangerous man at the helm; who is making everyone nervous as to what ridiculous thing he will do next.

To answer your question: No, I cannot vote in a US election, but I sure as hell can try to influence the perceptions of those who live there and follow me, provide resources to help them cope when some ridiculous edict he makes stresses them out, and remind the rest of the world what is going on.

What is happening is not normal, and sometimes you need an external contrast to perceive that. E.g. when you work with clients in DV situations, their perception of ‘normal’ is skewed to mean ‘whatever the abuser has normalised’... rather than what societal perceptions of normality entail.

What all dictators want is for complete control, taken through manipulation and people having their rebellious thoughts burned out into weary resignation.

TL;DR - History is watching us, waiting to see what happens, and every dissenting voice from any corner of the globe adds to the resistance. Especially if their goal is to support and empower the people directly facing the danger on a daily basis.

4.05 Tinder Box

In which I make 6 references- 5 numbered and then Wizards of Waverly Place- a few jokes, and a prediction that I think is SPOT ON. Join me on this reactionary journey (in chronological order).

Abby, Jackson is relaying the science info for the audience, not you. I know that you know, but we, the audience, do not. give him a break.

Oh, the Mt. Weather parallels. BUT Abby checks herself. To all the haters: this means Abby is good. She’s NOT doing what was done in Mt. Weather. Dr. Tsing is a foil; they are fundamentally different.

I too hate molecular biology

At least Helios is a good horse and stays with Octavia when she falls. Unlike that dog vid. (reference 1 here if you don’t immediately get this)

Hey it’s Niylah! Not on the show in the way I predicted (Octavia going to her) but she’s still playing the healing role so I’m proud I pulled that out of thin air.

Oh no Ilian I don’t trust you yet because you hate tech but thanks for saving O.

Miller’s dad is ranking officer. Yeahhhh boyyyy. So many speaking lines, such as: “the radiation’s our enemy, not the ice nation” awwwww so proud of you.

Clarke’s poker face about all things Bellamy needs some work.

Her come the prisoners. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. its Kane and Bellamy. THE MOMENT CLARKE’S BEEN WAITING FOR. (reference 2, keep playing!)

[I had to watch commercials on this rewatch and why are there commercials for books? You don’t want to cast your character so it’s just a bunch of moving dark figures over an abstract background. Pointless. Plus this Riverdale show looks unrealistic.] I learned how to use line breaks and they please me.

Riley stop it. Only like 4 more episodes until your likely death.

“They knew you were coming”- Bell so hopeful. This is lovely. But I would have preferred a little more anguish and suspense before he and Kane know she’s alive. Some good acting and character development could have come from that instead of them finding out the next day.

Octavia knows she’s not lucky Ilian brought her in. Who didn’t question his taking all these explosives? Where is everyone?

Raven and Abby love and concern <3 they are the best. Hand holding throughout their scenes this week. I dig it.

I thought we all knew Raven had the upgrade and thus still has ALIE in her head? Jackson and Abby are just figuring this out, fine, but I knew. The people I watched with did not? They just thought Raven was really smart? When did I learn this lil’ bit of information?

Abs we gotta go back to space! Raven’s looking at the gas lines and floor map to figure out there’s a rocket ship! She didn’t know where it was, but she knew what to tell the computer to do. PURE JOY! I AM SO HAPPY RAVEN FOUND A SHIP. This seem dangerous too though…

[Commercials are only acceptable in the actual air time. OMG THERE WAS A REALLY CUTE SHELTER DOG COMMERCIAL I TAKE IT ALL BACK cwgood.com if you want to see it. Omg no I had to watch 6 commercials wtf]

Riley you suck. I want to feel nothing at your death in 4-5 episodes.

P sure Costa was just on the island with doctor tech squad? They have to be more careful about where their quaternary-and-beyond(!) characters are.

Clarke is the only one who Roan listens to. Their cave scene was v good. Don’t brag about your lack of heart about your mom to someone who literally had the worst mom. Clarke, your mother cares about you. Roan’s mom used him as a tool in her ploy for power. Telling him that you care about your people more than your mom brings up some ethical values questions. Sacrificing one to save the many seems like a fine moral argument. But when you put faces onto those people things change: A ton of strangers vs your mom? That makes the decision harder. One stranger vs your fam and closest friends? That seems like an easy decision. I don’t know if it makes you a better or worse person for being willing to sacrifice your mother, but it’s definitely not an argument I would want to make. Especially with Roan. He let Lexa spear his mom. I cheered at that scene- it was badass. It was also clear she was a villain. And a completely different relationship dynamic. Clarke could use some advice from Selena Gomez and the Wizards of Waverly Place Theme, “you might run into trouble if you go to extremes because everything is not what it seems.” You know, with the whole list thing and promising Roan safety in the Ark and taking Jaha’s advice. S3 Clarke could have used the line “be careful not to mess with the balance of things” when she was trying to change grounder culture. Season 4: “The end will no doubt justify the means” or, alternatively, “That’s what I said” in which Jasper goes around making that’s what she said jokes but about himself. This didn’t directly relate to what I was talking about. My head just went there.

“Riley shouldn’t be here” Good Bell! AH-chers (Kane).I don’t understand why they all have to have American accents? Like let Ian’s lovely accent out. Let Bob’s vocal cords rest. A bunch of accents would have been initially present on the Ark because it was an international force. If English became the dominant language, fine. It’s an American show I don’t care enough to argue that point. One language across the stations is understandably necessary. BUT. Accents don’t disappear. I grew up with this guy whose parents are both English- a lawyer (now head judge, whaddup) and a professor. They’re all super cool. His sister taught me how to pop-lock-and DROP it on a mission trip and went to Oxford. Anyways, both kids have accents because their English parents taught them how to speak. I don’t know for sure if by high school this guy could turn his accent on and off, depending on the social setting, but he may have left it on for maaayyyybbeeeee pretentious reasons. He’s not pretentious, but he’s charming af and flatters my grandma at the Christmas Eve service and like. He’s a little posh. A kind, good person, and probs not posh in England, but he’s posh here. The point is I’m not an expert and don’t know. HOWEVER. It is possible that he can’t turn his accent off and I’m being a dick because I’m relating his ability of turning on/off his accent to my ability to turn on/off a southern accent. The difference is that I was not raised by parents who have the southern accent- I just took one on because I rode a redneck bus and was trying to assimilate. The moral of the story is this: accents, even over 100 years, would not have homogenized to the point that Ian and Bob and Eliza and Ricky and Alycia and everyone else have to lose their accents. It’s a skill but if we follow the English guy I grew up with not losing his accent despite being around other people (and not me singing ZBB’s Chicken Fried with my friends) logic, the different accents should still be there. But then that creates issues for the show runners of having to determine which countries has people in space. There were flags at the Unity Day ceremony, and I’m pretty sure I remember there being an Indian flag, so where are they? Put Dev Patel on the show. Jk he’s too good they could never get him. How did they even get Ian? I’m happy he’s here though. Isaiah can’t get larger roles because no one likes him. I may be projecting, but I also feel like Shonda Rhimes burned that boy.

Bellamy (and a reluctant Echo) to save the day. I hope by the end of the season 1) Echo is still alive, and 2) they’ve forged some sort of trust. They’ve had a cool bond since Bellamy saves Echo from the cages™ in Mt. Weather. Then Echo “saves” Bellamy from the Azgeda assassin who blows up Mt. Weather by tricking him into going to polis. She’s like I saved you, dude. And he’s like no, you lied to me and made it possible for a bunch of my friends to die. Then she’s like hey, be my friend, I’ve had sooo many chances to kill you and still haven’t, that’s friendship right? Bellamy’s like. No. I don’t trust you. Boom. Echo captures (? She brings them into the throne room, idk if she captures them herself) Bell and Stevens (rip, tattletale) and could have killed them both. She doesn’t kill Bellamyyyyyyy… Then this scene with Riley. There’s obviously trust issues on both sides- She doesn’t remove Bell’s chains. “so much for building trust” Bell. She’s worried her king is going to be shot. This is not the moment to scold her But I think she still wants to be friends. It must be rough to be such a badass spy and not to have just one friend. Bell seems to be the Chosen One™ and I hope they can work out their differences. Post Riley they share a secret, so they’re working on itttttttttt.

[I had to reload the page and I’ve now watched 8 commercials. The girl at the booth next to me is talking about her authentic (highly not-authentic) Irish pub experience and all the musicians playing their “banjos and fiddles.” Shut the fuck up. The page timed out again. Enough. I have to watch another 6 commercialssss. I’m tired of this proactive commercial, but at least the CW knows their target audience #annoyed]

SHA-BoO0M GOES THE ARK. Well that bad deal Clarke just made is over. She may have promised Azgeda protection from radiation, but what about Trikru? You’re going to help Roan and not Indra? Not a fan of that deal. Glad it went up in smoke. Da dunn tsssshhhhhh. Puns are fun. (reference 3, same as 2). I now know why the episode is Tinder Box. It all makes sense.

Bellamy and Octavia reunited. Another shot of the shoulder tat. Clarke and the Blakes holding hands (well Bell’s holding O and Clarke’s holding her hand. Poor Kane has no one to hold. Where’s awk bff David Miller? Hold him. The Blakes could at least invite him over.

Back at Doctor Tech Squad- Raven has a stroke! Possibly fatal, who can say? Raven’s just excited to go to space, and I’m happy for her. Abby also at risk, but doesn’t want to be tested until she’s showing more symptoms than those she already has from being sleep deprived. This is pretty normal for people whose parents get diagnosed with genetic diseases. Some people want to know, but not knowing can give you hope for things that can’t be cured. Abby wants to focus on helping adorable Raven save the whole world. But. Hey, how ya doing, well I’m doing just fine, I lied, I’m dying inside my brain and starting to have hallucinations of my daughter dying from radiation. (reference 4. I couldn’t find the one I wanted but imagine a vine of that over this) So now we’re worried about Raven and Abby. Will Abby tell Jackson? My thoughts- No. she’ll try to hide it as long as she can, working on a cure for Raven, then help herself. Yet I don’t see either of them dying? Raven is too important plot-wise and the writers and viewers lovelovelove the character. My argument for Abby living is more of a personal one and then behind the scenes of Paige Turco being a parent who’s very forward with her scheduling (why she doesn’t typically do up fronts etc so she can have separate work and son time) and probs has her contract locked down.

Not my fave episode, lots of callbacks to earlier seasons, but generally not super satisfying plot. Mainly because 4.04 set up these storylines- Octavia on her way back, Doctor Tech Squad reaching the lab, Bellamy and Kane as prisoners. The Polis/ Arkadia plotlines fell short somehow of their build. There were conflicts, but it lacked drama? If that makes sense.. I enjoyed the lab plot because all Raven x Abby interactions have great energy, not to mention they found a rocket. That story still feels like it’s still advancing and keeping the drama up. Props to Miller Sr. for getting more speaking lines in one episode than he did in the entirety of S3.

OMG- A THOUGHT-

what if. they send. Thelonious frickin Jaha. into space instead of Raven?

Stay with me here: Raven could have a seizure which is a risk. Jaha was an engineer and is capable- they’ve been slowly using that in the story and I was wondering when it would actually become plot relevant. BTS: Isaiah Washington finished filming his stuff before everyone else. I doubt he’s dead, but if all his stuff is him by himself/ him video chatting in from the ship, this explains how he could have wrapped up so quickly without dying. Additionally, he needs a big redemption for people to like him again after the CoL. Holy cow I think I’m on to something here! He and Kane S1 were rivals both trying to become martyrs/ find salvation. Thelonious wins, Marcus goes to Earth. But then Jaha makes it to Earth too because he knows how to run a pod. I am heartbroken for Raven, it’s really going to suck getting benched if I’m right. More so when I know Abby and Jackson are probably going to be the ones to tell her and they’ll get so much hate. But Raven and Abby can coach Jaha through some of the medical/ technical stuff (a la Apollo 13-reference 5- and Lieutenant Dan. I don’t remember the dude’s name in that movie- the actor is Gary something p. sure, but he’s in Forrest Gump with T.Hanks too so I don’t feel that bad. He also got benched for a medical issue (back to Apollo 13) that he didn’t get so this tangent was not a waste. He was needed to problem solve and figure out how to save the men on Apollo 13. Raven could parallel this.) and still be a team, which I like. I just want Raven to be happy, she deserves that. I don’t want Jaha to have a lot of glory for doing this either. If it was Raven hell yes. But for him it’s the least he can do. That’s wrong of me, but their histories are incredibly different.
