https://rooftop1976.com/interview/240523220000.php (After reading the Google Translated interview...) the recent COTD x BORIS interview mentions that they considered an overseas tour, but visas & stage prep, especially for US, is a big hassle. NARASAKI is working on a maxi single w 4 songs & they'd like to release it before end of the year (Sheep EP?).

Person update (news for what to expect a little different on here from now on as well I guess)

I know I promise to come back on my birthday which was 13th of April, but things didn’t work out the way I was planning. I was still pretty financially unstable, but things are looking a lot better now and I’ll return to posting COTD again soon. For anyone who cares my dog did make a full recovery with no serious issues.

I’ve been thinking though, to keep this account alive until I fully come back to posting daily Crowley photos I’d hop on here every once in a while, just to share random posts. Ideas I have, headcanon, anything and everything. Hopefully that lets me be on here more and be more personal/open so you lot can get to know me better (unless you follow me on Instagram then you know me pretty well lol.)

I’ll be talking about other ships and fandom’s that I’m in besides Good Omens (biggest ones are Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, The Boys, Trolls, Marvel mainly Venom, I’m not a Goofy fan but I do love Maxley. Yes, I fell victim to Maxley I’m absolutely obsessed, Night at the Museum, FNAF. And a handful of other fandoms but those are the main ones right now). Maxley and RadioStatic is everything to me and I mean EVERYTHING. The brainrot is to the extreme.

So yeah, I guess you can expect that to come on here, I hope everyone’s cool with it. Again, this is so it doesn’t feel like there’s a robot behind the account haha. It won’t be a lot just every once in a while to keep this account alive until I return to posting daily again.

Pokemon AG Watchthrough- Ep005- In The Knicker of Time!

We open with Ash fighting a random guy with a beedrill in the woods, standard dull opening tbh but that's okay, because this episode has a rather interesting, eclectic COTD to make up for the lack of. well. everything else 💖 (guys I promise that I adore AG).

A zigzagoon runs across the path after the opening battle and Max apparently has mad beef with zigzagoon??? Why is he frowning lmao.

Anyways, Max is all "Yo, I never knew zigzagoon could get that big!" Note that this zigzagoon was running on all fours in a serpentine pattern on the ground between bushes and such. They're like oh cool it's just a big zigzagoon.

Its pokedex picture..... Baby.,,,,,

So anyways, the big zigzagoon approaches the smaller zigzagoons, and in the words of Digoenes, "Behold, a man".

Anyways, zigzagoon dude takes off the fursuit in favor of his regular clothes, and May assumes that the zigzagoon disguised itself as a human. I love all two of her braincells. Also her limited sense of personal space.

Any PL fans here??? This is basically that scene from Diabolical Box where Luke tries to tear Inspector Chemley's face off, assuming it's a mask.

Anyways, Nicholai introduces himself and his questionable philosophies, such as "We thrive on communing with nature while exposing our knees", quote. We have met the first green-haired freak of AG!

May enters her first real battle with another trainer, which goes badly ❤️

May, quote: "Knickerbockers. Naturalist. What is wrong with that guy?" I love how petulant she is in early AG, I'd forgotten how snarky she can get. She's so easygoing by the later seasons (which isn't a bad thing! I do really enjoy her characterization, but the snark is kinda funny ikdjfhdjkgjkhf).

Anyways, Nicholai made fun of Norman for raising such a shitty battler so Max is on a whole-ass revenge sidequest and is trailing him in the woods. Nicholai wants to catch a zigzagoon to beat Norman with (which. good luck bud), so Max gathers fruit to attract all the zigzagoon to the other side of the woods where Nicholai can't catch them. Good job, buddy. To be fair, this is exactly the kind of plan that I would expect a, like, seven year old to devise.

Ash and co. catch up and disperse the zigzagoon. Zigzagoons are all still pissed off. This guy is now back.

May was right. What the fuck is this dude's deal ljfnkdgjkdf. Pied piper if it was weirder.

His costume is actually kind of terrifying with the hood back??? Zigzagoon's neck is, like, snapped, and his head is coming out of its tongue??????????

Anyways, he catches his zigzagoon and makes more remarks about shorts and then Team Rocket Team Rockets all over the place, resulting in the explosion counter going up to 11.5.

POV: Me digging for things to talk about in early ag episodes.

😀👍❓

He can fly. Explosion counter is now at 12.5 as TR blasts off.

Nicholai and Ash battle, episode ends. Overall? Not a terrible episode! Still rather dull (it is early AG, after all), but there's enough chaos throughout to keep me from doing something else and giving up on my watchthrough for another ten months. So that's a win. That gets it like a seven I think.

Martell Week- COTD: Oberyn Martell

Tag: @elvinaa @adriennegabriella @morby @candycanes19 @wingsoftheangels @tashastrange89

(A/N: Okay so we had a House Martell music task...well, I want to do that for just Oberyn. So the first ten are songs with my reasoning, while the last ten are certain lyrics that fit him without my reasoning. Plus, this helps me get a playlist for Oberyn started for use. Enjoy the ride! Also am working on Day 2 and 3, so hopefully I can get those done tonight.)

1- “Unholy (Japanese Version)” by: Shayne Orok, Curserino & Ali Orok

Reasoning: Alright, pick any version of Unholy; I don’t care if it’s the OG to a cover or whatever else, this version screams Oberyn. It’s slow and sensual and sexy, to say the least, I recommend this song for any smut/lemon playlist.

2- “Oberyn” by: Daenerys and Targaryens

Reasoning: Please, do yourself a favor! Go and listen to this song. It’s so fun and a bit funny but it’s about him! So enjoy fellow Oberyn fans.

3- “Letter To A Friend” by: Robert Gromotka and Chiharu Bley Violoncello

Reasoning: I feel this would be his theme song back in Dorne. More so when he’s in the Water Garden writing poems for his daughters. It’s just something that would make you think of him feeling calm for lack of a better term.

4- “Bow Down” by: I, Prevail

Reasoning: Basically, this song is could be his theme song when trying to avenge his Sister and her children. I did have this one down in the lyric area but switched it because, of how it just works more so as a whole.

5- “Crossing Over” by: Five Finger Death Punch

Reasoning: So, after watching the Bills game, I was trying to think what else to add and remember this old gem. This song is about loss and grieving and well, he lost Elia. Also you could use this song for Ellaria as well, when the second verse.

6- “Adrenalize” by: In This Moment

Reasoning: If I had to give Oberyn’s “infamous for his sexual appetite” as the wiki puts it, a theme song, it would be this. It’s hard, heavy and well a sex song.

7- “Tonight” by: Fozzy

Reasoning: “Then everyone is missing half the world’s pleasure. The gods made women… and it delights me. The gods made men… and it delights me. When it comes to war, I fight for Dorne. When it comes to love — I don’t choose sides.”

8- “One Of The Girls” by: Jennie Kim, Lily-Rose Depp, and The Weeknd

“We don't gotta be in love, no

I don't gotta be the one, no

I just wanna be one of your girls tonight

We don't gotta be in love, no

I don't gotta be the one, no

I just wanna be one of your girls tonight, oh”

9- “Emperor’s New Clothes” by: Panic! At The Disco

“I'm taking back the crown

I'm all dressed up and naked

I see what's mine and take it

(Finders keepers, losers weepers)”

10- “Love You To Death” by: Type O Negative

“In her place one hundred candles burning

As salty sweat drips from her breast

Her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying

They say the beast inside of me is gonna get ya, get ya, get”

11- “Hangman” by: Rev Theory

“Take your places please

You’ll need to sit for this one

It’s a simple plan

With a mangled conclusion”

12- “Go Girl” by: Pitbull

“I party like a rockstar

Look like a movie star

Play like an all star

Fuck like a pornstar”

13- “The Whims of Fate -King Side” cover by: FamilyJules feat Kuraiinu

“Give into another vice

See where it might lead

Come on, let's just enjoy the spice

Life and feel so free

Give into temptation”

14- “So Far Away” by: Staind

“This is my life

Its not what it was before

All these feelings I've shared

And these are my dreams

That I'd never lived before

Somebody shake me

'Cause I

I must be sleeping”

15- “Young Gods” by: Hasley

“He says, "Ooh, baby girl, don't get cut on my edges

I'm the king of everything and oh, my tongue is a weapon

There's a light in the crack that's separating your thighs

And if you wanna go to heaven, you should fuck me tonight"”

ROOP AISA SUHANA MERA CHAAND BHI HAI DEEWANA MERA

☾♔; March 12, 2024 ☾♔; 12:19pm ☾♔; sotd: Chammak Challo (iconic forever Akon) ☾♔; cotd: Artizea Rozan Evron ☾♔; Thistle Grove Academy ☾♔; Audition

𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: adapted lyrics from Bole Chudiyan, the original lyrics are "roop aisa suhana tera, chaand bhi hai deewana tera", basically translates to "You're so pretty, even the moon is crazy about you", and I just changed the you to me.

urg, remembered why I do not like making sets on urstyle. the page fucking AUTORELOADED, got stuck, had to reload my draft and of course, items shifted. luckily I only finished one tiny corner and didn't have to start over. what bakwas yaar. and I forgot to do the zoom trick the first time I published! I can't see it, but shit probably shifted somewhere. 😩😩😩😩😩

https://urstyle.fashion/groups/thistle-grove-academyhttps://urstyle.fashion/groups/thistle-grove-academyhttps://urstyle.fashion/groups/thistle-grove-academy

a not insignificant amount of my inspiration came from the Ambani wedding, because holy fuck. you might be rich, but are you not THAT rich. And fr, it really highlighted a lot of vieux vs nouveau riche differences, cause the richest man in the world is again Jeff Bezos, but he would not be able to get celebrities to pile onto greyhound buses to attend AND perform at his wedding.

𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: Peony 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: Laila Raichand (hindi: लैला रायचंद, arabic: رايشاند ليلى) 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞(𝐬): Lulu, Laddo (not a fan of either, use of the latter is limited to Dadi and Daddy) 𝐀𝐠𝐞: 17 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: cis-female 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬: she/her 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: heterosexual 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲: Feb 19 𝐙𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜: Pisces

𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬: her family. asoiaf (always with daenerys, the one true EMPRESS). dior. cold coffees. caramel. journaling (she does exchanges with her cousins, it's fun and cute watching bade bhaiyah try). red lipsticks. seaside views. karan johar films. yash chopra films. FROZEN (lovesss Elsa, though relates more to Anna). villainess manwha. sailor moon. chanel. disney.

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬: game of thrones. the goddamn patriarchy, like come on. america (just as a whole, she's written it off, just become a new country and try again). western perceptions of south asia and the middle east. culottes. bugs, just no. oversharers, like people who've known you for only 10 minutes and proceed to dump their WHOLE tragic life story on you, buddy, I don't know you, I don't want to know about your traumas.

𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭: Recruit.

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Laila is headstrong, opinionated, and very stubborn. She knows what she likes and doesn't like, and has no qualms about making those feelings known. She does not believe in "giving grace" to people's bullshit, you can have grace if you're a kid, if you're old enough to know better, you should act better. She can seem mean, and that's not unfair, she's VERY biased towards everyone who she considers as part of her circle, if you're outside of that, she can be extremely vicious, especially if you dare to hurt even a hair of one her people. She's not a big believer in forgiveness or second chances. One and done, hun.

Laila is very much the spoiled youngest child, and spoiled only child. She's the only child of her parents, and the youngest of all her cousins, thus getting double doting, and that shows. She's always done whatever she's wanted and gotten away with it very easily. She can be a little (a lot) narcissistic, and vain, but she's not naive nor does she live in a delusional, la la land fantasy where everything is about her and she's the centre of the universe. She does not think that, HOWEVER, she is very aware that due to her very lucky circumstances, a loving, powerful family, she can do whatever the fuck she wants, she doesn't have any pressure to do anything, there's no "you must marry a good/rich man, you must do this job, you must inherit this magic or this business", she's the baby princess, and she knows well how to take full advantage of that.

Laila is a little aloof and not particularly easy to get close to, though she can get along perfectly fine with people, she doesn't really bother to get to know them herself, and considers anyone outside of her circle as simply an extra in her life. She's not interested in being the centre of everyone's attention, except of course when it comes to her family, but that's just youngest child things. She has no problem speaking up in class, but prefers to do her own thing with her friends, and can be a little snobby, especially towards strangers. While she's not inconsiderate, she also won't act to spare someone's feelings. If you're not her friend, you're not her friend, she'll absolutely help a girl out in a sticky situation (always be a girl's girl), but you don't need to have brunch with her afterwards.

𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞: Laila's personal style is "whatever I like", but in general her wardrobe tends towards classic, chic, and preppy clothes. When it comes to "ethnic" wear, she generally prefers Pakistani salwars, and relies on big brands like Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra for more oppulent event wear. She also prefers salwars and lahengas over sarees, they're pretty but a hassle to wear. She can wear it so long as someone puts it on for her. She also HATES that the culotte trend is back and cannot wait for it die again. Laila is also very much a heel girl, from the first moment she ever got a pair. She's tiny, she needs that feeling of power.

𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲: Daughter of Turkish business woman Aleyna Burakgazi and Indian RAW Agent Vikrant Raichand, Laila is a djinn through her mother, though her father's family is no stranger to the supernatural either. While her father is by all means a normal (aside from his abs, they are not normal), her grandmother is an Astradhari, the bearer of an astra, a divine weapon, specifically the Agneyastra, the astra of the God Agni. She is also deeply knowledgeable about Kala Jadoo (black magic), but claims she does not practise it. It's a very unreliable claim 'cause it's well known that Dadi (paternal grandma) will fuck you up. While their grandmother has not yet decided which heir to make her successor and pass her astra on to, she has made sure to educate all of them of the power of Astras, the Gods, and kala jadoo.

Laila lived with her mother and more immediate extended paternal family (so her father's brother, his family, and their mother) in India until she was about 7, at which point she and her mother moved to Dubai, where her mother took over Raichand Industries Middle East interests. Her father often travels for work, and cannot maintain contact for extended periods of time, so his presence wasn't as constant as his family's, but whenever present he is always doting and spends time with her and her mother. She is definitely a daddy's girl, he's not the whole cause, but a significant amount of her being spoiled is absolutely his fault. But she is also very close to her mother and admires her very much.

Laila does not exactly have the best track record of controlling her djinn abilities, especially when she's angered. It wasn't too much of a problem growing up, she's mostly a homebody and surrounded by family, and people who know about the magical world, so losing control could be easily covered up and often didn't even need to be. However, one time, she, her best friends Kiran and Isabella, and some other friends went to a concert and as they were leaving, some grown ass adult kept hitting on Kiran, and they were literally 12 years old at the time, how disgusting. It was a kids concert too, like what is that guy even doing? Trash. In her annoyance, Laila exploded his hands, she wasn't aiming to do that, but she has no regrets either. That was a little bit harder to cover up, since it was in public, but ya know, it's Dubai, they're rich, buh-bai pedo. This was not the only time she lost control, but she assumes it was probably this incident that got her on the academy's radar.

Before getting the email, Laila was all set to continue her high school level education at the private school she was attending. Honestly, at first she thought it was spam, all the magic training she's received so far has been passed down generation to generation within family, so she wasn't even aware of Thistle Grove Academy's existence. She was unsure of whether or not to attend, she's already got her dadi and taiji (paternal aunt-in-law) for deeper magical instruction, her mommy for the basics, and she's a Raichand, she can get anything she needs at any time. Ultimately, she was convinced to attend by her one of her besties, Isabella, who is a legacy at Thistle Grove and also got the email.

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬: Djinn (also romanized as jinn, anglicized as genies, as a being can also be analogous to an angel, demon, or fairy, but none are entirely accurate)

𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜: Laila has a number of abilities as a Djinn, such as shapeshifting, mind control, astral projection and body possession, however, ultimately each distinct ability is governed by the same factor and all of them can be classified under the singular power of "Essokinesis", the ability to control reality, though Laila was taught that her power is to make HER wishes come true. Some guy touches her friend and she wants his bones to explode? Okay, boom. Papa's work trip is taking too long, oops, suddenly he's back in India. She wants Valyrian silver-gold hair, she got Valyrian silver-gold hair, that one can at least be hidden easily, you know how awkward it is when you're in the middle of a gun fight in an undisclosed location, and then suddenly poof into the centre of a massive Diwali celebration?

Because her magic is linked to her thoughts and desires, it's hard for Laila to control her abilities and prevent herself from making the silliest thing reality, to forcibly keep her powers from manifesting, she usually wears a simple gold taweez (amulet) given to her by her aunt-in-law's father, Zafar Khan Qadri, who is a Sufi of an Indian branch of the Qadiri Order (as a VERY quick, oversimplified explainary, a Sufi is basically someone who practices Islamic mysticism, honestly of the ones I've met and have been told about, they're more like nerds about magic in relation to Islam rather than a magical priest, but whatever, also Sufism is divided into a bunch of orders which all eventually trace back to Mohammad cause he the OG of everything).

𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Turkish, English, French, Portugese (Brazilian), Italian, Russian

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲? Pretty chooses pretty? She honestly doesn't know, the general meaning of Peonies is shame, bashfulness, and anger, and like, anger makes sense, but shame? bashfulness? Laila is opposite of that, she's not cinderella, she's the Prince, what does she have to be ashamed about? The meaning of Peonies in China however fits her more, or rather her family, prosperity and honour certainly vibe with the Raichand's and how they value and market their family name.

So next week will be its 3rd anniversary of this meme I made back then. Well, not knowing what Minun ACTUALLY means in Finnish (means "my" lol), let me tell you my lore of Finland and its 3 month chaos.

Well, excluding Brawl Stars cuz idk what happened lol, on April 9th 2021, the Plusle and Minun handymen episode was aired in Japan. With COTD like Devi (Minun) and Multa (Plusle), guess who injured after he/she got tripping: Devi.

Finnish fans were ok but they weren't ok with the episode, because it's boring and shit. 2 months later, Eriksen got injured really bad and almost died in the Euro 2020 match Denmark vs Finland. 15 minutes later, Finland scored. It ended 1-0.

American hours after the match, Kira posted this comic featuring Odette for her #ViserLeagueTournament thing. While Mana releasing her Minun (or being like a following Pokémon ig...), 25% of fans was mad because Minun means "my" in Finnish and it's not a coincidence.

The 75% believed everyone didn't knew this until now, and it was a coincidence. Finland loses to Russia 1-0 and didn't make it to the playoffs.

Like, ik other shit just happened but idc. I ONLY need these because it's near and during Euro 2020.

C'ya!😃

Some character notes and episode notes for HZ042, writing them down for future reference.

Liko and Roy spend some time at the beach with Landau. Meanwhile, Friede and Murdock go shopping together for a barbecue (thus depriving us of seeing shirtless Friede, greatest tragedy of the show etc). Murdock was being thoughtful there too, praising Mollie and Orio for their hard work (and how they deserve a treat once in a while), advising Liko and Roy not to wander too far off on their own (which I like, how they keep stressing the fact that the kids have to be watched over), and encouraging Roy to play a lot so he can work up an appetite.

Liko invited Dot to come with her to the sea, but Dot declined (and explained her reasoning too). It's nice how they keep showing that Dot is okay with some things, but not with others. In ep 27, she participated in the curry with everyone, but in ep 34, she didn't want to attend the party and participated in her own way (making the video for Diana). Later on, she was okay with going out shopping (ep 39) and even told her mom that she started enjoying the outside world but it doesn't mean she is suddenly okay with going to the beach. Yet, she attended the barbecue at the end because she is learning to enjoy food more and more. She has her boundaries, and everyone is accepting of them. It's all good.

Liko and Roy and their Pokemon play around a lot too. Nyahoja is always doing her thing, like running around and interacting with other Pokemon, she even played with Landau too. I feel like it's possibly the first time we saw Nyahoja being close to anyone else than Liko as she usually doesn't accept just anyone in her space. She is opening up. Hogator is also enjoying time on a float (and the sunglasses from ep 37 came back).

Liko and Roy meet Irukaman after he saves someone. Some group of snap kids want to take pictures of Namiiruka's transformation sequence as no one has ever seen it before. Liko thinks about how she doesn't mind not seeing it and guesses that if no one has ever seen the transformation sequence, it's probably because Irukaman doesn't want anyone to see it and she wouldn't feel right trying to see it in this case. She understands Irukaman's feelings (who can sense Liko's thoughts too) and the way it wants privacy. Liko was really good this ep (her empathy was highlighted, and I felt she had fun tsukkomi moments, I like when characters like her have these kinds of moments).

Ensues a whole sequence explaining the way Irukaman works after the latter saves Hogator from drowning as he was washed away on his float. It clarifies things about the Pokemon, and shows how Irukaman goes on about saving people during the day (some random CoTD he saved was voiced by Ootani Ikue, I think, the voice was similar to Shouta's). The snap kids once again lament the fact they can't catch the transformation sequence, and decide to make (fake) trouble so Irukaman could show up to save them.

Back in the ship, Dot is reading some messages from her fans and wonders what could possibly be fun about the sea. Someone asks her if she knows about the hero of the seas, and Dot thinks about Irukaman (though the person who asked wasn't referring to the Pokemon, but someone else). Dot seemed to think that Irukaman's Mighty Forme is cool, and I kind of appreciate seeing these sides of her a bit more. During chapter 1, when it came to Nanjamo, she was acting more as an equal to her as they were both streamers (even though she wanted to catch up to her in terms of popularity), but I feel like HZ041 and this episode shows that Dot also has people or Pokemon she admires, just like Liko and Roy (she was embarassed about Nanjamo reading her message, and she openly says Irukaman is cool). Roy also admires heroes, and Liko is a Gurumin fan, etc.

Back to the snap kids, the one who pretended to be in danger actually ended up being in danger and asked for help. Irukaman didn't want to transform as the snap kids were ready to take pictures of it, but Liko took action (encouraged by Nyahoja) and used Magical Leaf to distract them so it allowed Irukaman to transform without anyone looking. Though, Liko's actions earned his trust and Irukaman decided to transform in front of her (making Liko the only person who has seen the transformation sequence).

Irukaman struggles against the Gakegani, and the one coming to his rescue is none other than Landau... who also has a secret form, Mighty G (feels like it's a nod to All Might, especially since Landau's hero form has a time limit too). Landau casually revealed that he has another Pokemon (which makes me wonder if he has any other Pokemon, he initially didn't mention anything about Nuoh until HZ011 back in chapter 1) and saves the day with a deadly hug to calm the Gakegani down. Honestly, the whole scene was funny and gave me both Precure and Sun and Moon vibes (Precure because cheering on Irukaman to give him strength is just like the whole "Precure, do your best" cheers that help the characters, and Sun and Moon because the specific style change for Landau and the crack tones reminded me of the humor in that series.. specifically the baseball episode. Anything reminding me of SM is good.)

After everything is solved, Liko and Roy talk to the snap kids. Roy kind of "scolds" them for lying about being in danger and they promise not to try to see Irukaman's transformation sequence anymore. Liko tells Nyahoja that they should keep the fact that they saw the transformation sequence a secret. Liko and Roy go back to Landau whose back is hurting (the only thing stopping this grandpa is back problems, honestly ww). They tell him about Irukaman and Mighty G and wonder if they'll see Mighty G again. Roy is certain they will, which makes Landau think his secret was out (I wonder if Roy has suspicions though, since he already guessed Dot was Gurumin before). Liko and Roy don't suspect anything though. Nyahoja might have guessed since she kept staring at Landau.

At the end, Roy is showing Friede the pictures the snap kids shared with him. As they look through them, Landau notices a strange building in one of the pictures and the swim trunks guy explains that a bunch of suspicious people recently put that in, which makes Friede suspect it's connected to the Explorers.

This episode was the second one written by Kimiko Ueno, btw (first ep she wrote was HZ037).

COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS tweeted that they will make an announcement on November 27th 5PM (Japan time)! https://twitter.com/u_desper/status/1331910004480241665 Time for Lostman and me to spread the word. We are self-proclaimed COTD ambassadors. I edited the meme in 2018 (original post: https://haetae.tumblr.com/post/180760784060 ).

YUSH, we’ve reached Ula’Ula Arc! One of my favs! ♥ really excited to rewatch that arc tomorrow, Acerola is such an enjoyabe character and freaking love what they did with Rocket Gang and Kuchinashi here. Shame we didn’t get deeper info on Kuchinashi and Sakaki connection :p
