#ep 7 is the crossover episode

Anson Mount in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Exploring Season 2" interview

Not being allowed to reveal much about Season 2, Anson was asked safer questions: he talked about loving Star Trek since he was a child, what makes Star Trek different from other sci-fi shows, the various genres episodes in s1 and s2 are exploring (the cast mentioning "taking big swings" in s2 and pointing to episode 9 in particular), and what it was like sitting in the Captain's chair for the first time.

i need another 911/911 lone star crossover episode but the 126 goes to LA so we don't have to deal with Owen.

need more of the tk x buck x mateo trio, buck meeting carlos (not only because they're both absolute hunks but we can get the "you're the guy that flirted with my husband?" scene) AND maybe they can give us some tk x bobby, would be cool to see a conversation between these two.

and they all looked hot in that episode so there's also that

Who is Peccantum?

Peccantum is an old OC of mine translated into Hazbin hotel! Here he is a sinner, a deer boi with anxiety, trauma and a deep craving for power!

After he died, Peccantum sought out and made a deal with a certain radio demon. Seven years later, it comes to bite him in the ass as Alastor calls upon him to work as Hazbin's hotel bellhop/magician/errand boy! Now he's thrown into these wacky adventures while trying to navigate a rocky relationship with his new boss.

Twig's GL Recs for March-July 2024

[Here’s my rec list for GLs through to Feb 2024 ]

Fake Buddies Korean, YouTube, 7 episodes (one ep BL, one ep GL, one ep crossover, and then 2 more BL prequel eps and two more GL prequel episodes), approx 45 minutes when compiled, Apr 27-Jun 28 2024

At first this was a little three-part series in which it turns out both members of the couple are secretly in a homosexual relationship with their best friends and using the other as a beard. Lots of comedy of errors and puns (“I like lilies better than roses”) as the characters try to make each other understand the situation they’re in. The backstory prequels were really cute friends to lovers, and it was really nice to see these couples land in solidarity! This series is short and cute and pure fluff.  

To the X Who Hated Me: YunO x Jane Korean, YouTube, 3 episodes ~6 mins each, aired May 22-29 [microseries complete, X who hated me series may be ongoing]

When the previous 2-ep miniseries under this umbrella landed (which I wrote about here: ), I had no idea it was going to be a series of microseries! These are all short but good second chance romances. This one has a “reality”-show-within-a-show format, with a frustrating misunderstanding, and a good kiss. Be sure to always watch past the credits for this series! 

You Are My Star, Thai, YouTube, 1ep 37 mins (aired as 3 12-min eps and then they compiled into this one short film), May 18 [complete]

This was a cute Thai GL that I enjoyed mostly because of the very clear cribbing of specific scenes from recent BLs. It was mostly trope-y (both cuteness and drama), with good kissing. See if you can spot the BL references.

Xiao Xiang Yi Jiu, Chinese, YouTube, 7 episodes 2 mins each, May 20-June 3 [complete]

This little microseries is about a girl becoming an intern for her crush/idol. Happy ending, and they do become explicitly girlfriends! No kiss because censorship.

Lonely Girls Korean, YouTube, 4 episodes 8 minutes each (32 mins compiled) May 14 [complete]

This is about a couple that struggles with the closet, lack of communication, and how to make their relationship last in the face of uncertainty. Also there’s good kisses. SukFilm have done other series before and since, but this is my fave GL of theirs so far. 

The Two of Us Deep Night spinoff, Thai, YouTube, 6 episodes, 15 mins each, airing May 30-July 4 [complete]

I was so confused at first, because I didn’t realize this was supposed to be their story during the events of Deep Night that we didn’t get to see. I was excited about this one but bummed that we started the miniseries with a health scare and then a threat by Meiji to marry some guy just to make Freya jealous? I found it a little frustrating that two women in their 40s could not be honest with each other. The couple is so cute, but the storytelling is not, so take this rec with a grain of salt. Still, it’s so nice to see women in their 40s being super cute and in love in between the drama so I’m keeping it on this list! I am very glad to have gotten the dance sequence and the bath sequence. 

******

And of course currently airing right now so take with a grain of salt because i don’t yet know how they end, but 

Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko Japanese, 8 episodes, 25 mins, airing July 4- August 22 [ongoing]

This is a laugh-out-loud funny office comedy in which Akaya flirts desperately with her senior colleague at work, Hiorko, who then spends her evenings complaining to her friends at the lesbian bar about oblivious straights who don’t understand the meaning of what they say. I've written a little more about this show here. It is my favourite GL of the year so far and if it stays this good is on its way to being one of my favourites of all time!

The Secret of Us Thai, 8 episodes, 50 mins each, airing June 24-August 15 [ongoing]

This series starts with the cutest episode of all time and then devolves quickly into serious drama lol but it did a good job avoiding pure “noble idiocy” so I’m hopeful it will continue to hold up. As of ep3 things are happening that I did not expect, so I’m really curious how this one will go. In the meantime, it is also worth noting that these actresses are excellent kissers.

[UPDATE: Of these two that were airing, I ended up thinking I was going to have to retract for The Secret of Us but instead retracted for Ayaka Is In Love With Hiroko. I had way more fun with Ayaka week to week but the ending was really disappointing; The Secret of Us in contrast nailed the ending. I wrote about it a bit here. ]

[buddiebeginz]

Some ideas about the new ep:

So we know Buck is going to be jealous about Eddie spending time with Tommy.

And we know he goes and talks with Chim and Maddie.

There's also that kitchen scene with Buck and Eddie. Which I think most were assuming is at the end of the ep but what if it's not.

I think after the basketball game Buck and Maddie and Chim talk (at least it seems that way from the little bit of JLH's script we saw). But what if Eddie comes over after that and then maybe there's a little more of the episode.

But there's also this shot which no one can really figure out what scene it's from because the shirt doesn't match the one Buck is wearing in the kitchen scene.

If you look close Buck looks kind of nervously hopeful in it. I feel like this is from the end of the episode.

I feel like a multitude of things could be happening here.

Buck has had his Oh Moment and is waiting to tell Eddie

Buck has his Oh Moment and plans to tell Eddie but before he does Eddie tells him things are getting more serious with Marisol. She's moving in maybe. And yeah I know it would be fast but they could come up with a reason. (Not saying I want Marisol to stick around btw just that it would make for good drama temporarily while we get pining Buck for a while.)

Buck is waiting to go on a date with Tommy because he's realized he's into guys or is fully open to dating guys if he's had sex with them before (which I definitely think he has based on his travels)

Part of the reason I feel like we might get a scene like this is because of how this is the 100th ep and it's connected to the Bachelor. The Bachelor essentially being a show about finding and choosing your soulmate. Telling that person I've picked you, I've chosen you out of anyone else I could have chosen. It's no coincidence they're choosing to do something so Buddie-centric during an episode with this crossover.

I also think the show is likely to do something big for it's 100th especially since most shows never make it that far anymore and especially since 911 almost didn't. They've been saying in interviews they're going to give the audience what we want and they know we've been screaming about Buddie since forever. They're definitely not blind to that they even get asked about Buddie in like every single interview.

I don't think we're going to get Buddie canon yet (nor do I think we should) but I do think we'll get some big step in that direction something will have majorly shifted after this.

I think if the show does well for season 7 (as it's been doing) they're going to see how the audience responds to the changes they make to Buddie this season and that will dictate how they're going to proceed. Which is why I think it's more important than ever that we put positive engagement out there on abc's social media about 911 and Buddie.

[bekaterrier]

It's that time of the week again! Happy Audio Drama Sunday! Still traveling so still listening to a bunch of different podcasts.

Residents of @proserpinapark Ep 37 - Devilish Lovers: A quick episode this week! It's interesting to hear about myths and mythical creatures that are so similar across different cultures. It was also good to get even the tiniest mention of the Park in NJ. Looking forward to everyone coming together at some point!

Give Me Away Episode 5 - My Body Is Your Body & Episode 6 - This Is My Home: Ep 4 ended on a cliffhanger so where do we start with ep 5? A flashback of course! It was actually so interesting hearing what had been going on since the beginning with so many of the people in Red Camp. Then in ep 6, finally getting to hear how Graham interacts with his new companion. The Innovator certainly seems like an interesting person, and I'm sure their dynamic will continue to evolve. All the while, Jamie is in the background sowing chaos!

@camlannpod Episode 6 - The Sheep And The Goats & Episode 7 - Under The Hill: All I'd heard about Camlann was its connection to Arthurian tales, so I was not expecting the shift to Greece. It was so good and interesting though! I don't know why, but I hadn't thought about what other stories would have come alive. It certainly makes you think about which other ones might be out there. As soon as Perry started talking about fairies I knew to expect some trickery! They were so adamant about Dai coming back (even though he was not storied) that it made me wonder... Then some of the hints from the fairies... All leading up to to that big reveal!! Ahh!!

@midnightburgr Welcome to the Horizon Part 6 - Back to the Black: I was giggling and kicking my feet for the first 20 minutes... Just let Verge and Deidre be happy!! It's always fun hearing Verge be a badass though. Poor Deidre, constant emotional whiplash over the course of just a few hours. Her whole world just turned upside down several times over. Aside: The music this episode was fantastic!

@starsfellradio S1 & S2 re-listen: When WTSF was releasing S3 last year, my brain would not cooperate and listen. With the traveling I've been doing recently and the burnout recovery, I've finally been able to get back into it! I, of course, had to re-listen to S1 & S2. It's so good. Ed and Lucy's growth and evolution together, the wild incidents that keep happening, the fantastic music that starts coming in during S2, Michael the archangel getting domesticated... Love it all.

Where The Stars Fell S3 Episodes 20 - 23 & Forgive Me! Crossover - Forgive Where the Stars Fell: The countdown to the rapture has started! The first four episodes of the season cover a lot - Ed learning about new abilities, Lucy finding Joseph's coat of many colours which hides her wings, slime mold comes to life, an unconventional evangelist comes to town, a body swap episode, the Dave Matthews Band incident, a chili cook-off, and a promposal! Gosh I love this town. I also wanted to shout out the crossover with Forgive Me! because it was such a fantastic, fascinating episode. We know Ed has been dealing with a lot since finding out she's the Antichrist, and this was such a great opportunity for her to really voice how's she's feeling about it all, especially the Big Guy.

Case Study: IREC-A59 Episode 5 - Contact *Terms and Conditions May Apply: We have contact! They can finally understand each other! And thanks to that, we're starting to get more info about both sides of this story. 13 other intelligent species; humans have developed warp travel! ; the captain is super protective; the council may not be letting the humans go anytime soon...

@starfallpod Act 1, Scene xiv: Hearing the bits of Mariette the Fourth adapted as Candyette the Fourth was fantastic. I would honestly love to see a full version of either performance! I love Fel and Leona together, but it's nice hearing Leona start to speak up for herself. And now we're off to solve a mystery! Who could have done it, I wonder...

WHERE IS HE? - First Thoughts

Hi, hello!!!

So. We literally sat down this morning, hit record on our Zoom call, later Nat did her magic with some editing for a few hours and voila, we have a new pod ep ALREADY out!

If you follow us on Spotify and any other podcast platform of your choosing, you've probably received a notification on the new release from us. It's a very handy tool, that 'follow' button. ;)

This week, we take a slightly different approach because we're already so close to the next episode, picking THREE topics each to surprise the other with. There was a little bit of crossover, but we still managed to cover a good chunk of WHERE IS HE?

After introductions, we kick off with thoughts on Earien (00:02:47), how she's being presented on the show, and her relationship with Elendil. We then jump to discussing Durin's grief (00:16:22) before pivoting to love for Disa (00:20:23) and...well...fear for Disa.

Next, we appreciate the Adar/Galadriel scenes (00:25:41) before diving specifically into the fun framing of Adar/Sauron against Sauron/Galadriel (00:41:23). Then we ponder Annatar's illusion (00:48:18) and go on a tirade about why it's important for evil to be nuanced in fiction (00:55:08).

Finally, we wrap up with DEATHWATCH (01:00:59). This isn't spoiler based, but if you want to avoid speculation, maybe skip this bit and come back to join us after episode 7!

We'll be back with a new pod on ep 7 probably sometime next week!

For now, please hit us up with anything! If there's anything you may want us to discuss that we haven't covered yet, please let us know.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you @maesterchill @danpuff-ao3 and @nv-md for the tag! <333

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

314

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,295,054

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Harry Potter is the big one. I've also written some Captive Prince, Locked Tomb, and one Call Me By Your Name fic

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Right Hand Red; Hung Like a Horntail; Slip Into My Lover's Hands; Weeds or Wildflowers (written with the very talented @unmistakablyoatmeal); and check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try. I'm seriously behind. The truth is, I'll never get around to replying to them all. I will someday die with a thousand unanswered comments. But I do try. And I read each and every one and they touch my heart. I'm so very grateful for all the wonderful comments I've received and continue to receive!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oof. I hardly ever end things badly. But there was one wee ficlet; lemme go hunt it down. (*plays elevator music*) Ah, here it is: Not-Forever Is Still Forever. It's not MCD or anything. Draco just leaves for Argentina for two years. *shrug emoji* But I like to think I've gotten pretty good at baking some realistic angst into the middle of things, if not writing angty endings. I prefer it that way.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All of them except for Burning the Ground, which is an open ending. I'll be honest, I don't like the word fluff. I'm never trying to write fluff, which, to me, denotes a level of uncomplicated sweetness. Maybe others define it differently. But I don't think happy endings are necessarily fluffy. I want my happy endings to put tears in your eyes, to move you. I want to evoke different things with different sorts of happiness for different phases of life. RHR's ending is about a feeling of freedom mostly, of getting to face the next part of their lives without dread. Take You Home has a similar vibe but with them a bit older; they've experienced the painful and mundane disappointments you have to weather in this life that have nothing to do with fighting a dark wizard and everything to do with existential questions about who we are, how we go on, what do you do when it doesn't work out, when you've changed and you don't know who you are anymore. I loved ending it with all their friends, at a march for trans rights. Heart Like Neon has an ending that makes *me* the most happy. I modeled it after an episode of Grey's Anatomy where you find out at the end of the ep that two important characters got married. The whole ep, none of their friends know, then at the end they play 'Bones' by Josh Record, and you go back in time by a few weeks and you see it. When I wrote the end of HLN, I had that song playing in my head from the end of the party at the Weasley's, to jumping three months earlier, to Harry and Draco in Paris. That's a pretty goddamned happy ending. It makes me cry. <3 (Also the art that @bluebutter-art made for it makes me bawl happy tears!!!)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I was going to say hardly ever but then I *just* got some last week! LOL. Still, I'm very lucky that it's not even once in a blue moon. That stuff is so arbitrary too. I'm going to quote my good friend @elrhiarhodan: People... they're fuckin nuts. :D

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

LOL yes. A lot of different kinds? I want to try a little of everything as a writer.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

No. I mean, I probably have a couple times over the course of my literal decades in some fandom or other, but they're not worth noting.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, several, and into multiple languages. I think that's so cool!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Definitely! In HP I've written with sdk, @the-starryknight and @nv-md, plus I once did a wild round robin with a big group of people. I'm not good at round robins, I've realized. Too much of a control freak.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Drarry, totally. But right up there is Harry/Teddy and Harry/Teddy/Draco. Then Ginny/Pansy, Charlie/Teddy, James Sirius/Albus Severus (with Teddy too sometimes). In CaPri, I love Damen/Laurent, but @linecrosser had totally made me ship when Damen lends Laurent out to Nikandros for a threesome and also Auguste/Laurent. I also hardcore ship my own original characters from my novel. <3

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I don't do WiPs really.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Oof, this is tough. Pacing? Interpersonal relationships? Smut, for sure. LOL. I think I do well writing things that are transgressive or maybe even filthy with a lot of tenderness and compassion and deep, deep love mixed in. And I think I'm getting really good at making people cry when I want them to. Readers, that is. :D

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Convoluted plots. Can't do them. I wish I could. I can't write a mystery to save my life. I'm also pretty bad at heavy angst. I also wish I could write something nonlinear, but my brain just doesn't work that way.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

It's interesting that this is a question because it's meaningful to me not because of fic but because of my novel. I have a Spanish-speaking character, fluent in English, but sometimes he says things in Spanish. I'm very VERY lucky that @capiturecs read my novel both as a sensitivity reader for Latinx/Latine/Latino aspects but also to correct my Spanish and make it realistic and conversational! I'll be forever grateful! I also now really REALLY want to learn Spanish! <3

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Sorry, I don't share this publicly.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Oh this is mean. This is cruel. I can't possibly answer this! RHR has got to be in there. Heart Like Neon. Blood and Fire. Phoenix in the Fire. Take You Home. Wonderful Electric (cover me in you). A Pain of Our Choosing. My Name in Your Mouth. Bloom. collarbones like a bow, skin an arrow to the heart. I'll stop there!

Okay, this was fun! I'll tag @corvuscrowned @ruinsplume @floydig @sweet-s0rr0w @lettersbyelise @magpiefngrl @skeptiquewrites and Elr! <3

The Dragon Ball Z episode of JBVO, which aired on May 7, 2000 on Cartoon Network. It is Episode 6 of JBVO.

The full episode was considered lost media until May 14, 2023 when it was uploaded to the Internet Archive by a user named SandersPlanet.

In the episode, a fan request letter was sent by a girl named Jennifer from Sterling, Colorado to air her favorite episode of Dragon Ball Z: Episode 105 (Episode 90 in the American episode order). Johnny explains that due to time constraints the Dragon Ball Z episode can't be aired unless fast-forwarded (both JBVO and DBZ have half-hour long episodes). As the Dragon Ball Z episode is shown, Johnny commentates over the episode with the American dub audio vaguely being heard in the background.

The Dragon Ball Z segment begins at 13:12 and ends at 14:53 in the episode.

The episode also features a crossover episode of Scooby-Doo with Johnny Bravo, and the Rhapsody Rabbit episode of Merrie Melodies featuring Bugs Bunny.

JBVO, also known as JBVO: Your All Request Cartoon Show, was a programming block that aired Sundays on Cartoon Network starting from April 2, 2000 and ended sometime in the middle of 2001. JBVO allowed callers to write into the show to request a cartoon from Cartoon Network's cartoon library to be aired as long the cartoon wasn't a half-hour long or longer. It was hosted by Johnny Bravo and sometimes had guests such as Chicken from Cow and Chicken.

MY FAVORITE THINGS OF 2023 🎆

So yeah.

Jujutsu Kaisen S2 is my favorite anime of the year. It gave me SatoSugu; my new fave BL yaoi OTP. Which in turn got my side blog; Queen Endless, going on here and has shown me more of a boom on here than anything before.

The Ahsoka Series gave us our Anakin Ahsoka reunion with ep 4 and 5 and God Ep 5 gave me everything I wanged and more and yeah Ezra, Thrawn, and much more showed up but TCW keeps on coming back to feed me good.

Spider-Man 2 PS5 gave me Bully Lowenthal, live action kid Ben 10 all grown up as Harry, Venom madness, and was an overall rollercoaster.

Dtoons Team Teen Cartoon Heroes Unite gave me Ben, Bloom, and Yugi all in the same episode/screenshot and yeah a congregation of cartoon and anime characters galore. Imma try to draw some inspired fanart for it soon. Hopefully.

Anigomi, making character audio x listerner content on YouTube, covering guys and gals from anime and etc. My favorite VA of theirs is Han who voices Gojo, Hawks, Dazai, Tamaki and probably more. They do commissions, they're EXPENSIVE, but their content is great and they have Patreon for the MATURE stuff so there.

Five Years Later by The Ink Tank, the Ben 10 Danny Phantom crossover webcomic turned motion comic/dub with professional VAs and we're getting the next 3 episodes coming right around the corner and it's ALL SO GOOD!

Scream 6. My favorite horror series. Which makes me sad cause Scream 7 ain't happening cause our two lead girls were fired/quit along with the director of the 6 cause of stupid BS. So reboot? It just won't be the same.

Once Upon A Studio, a homage to the House of Mouse in my opinion. The Disney crossover of all time that was wholesome and funny tied up in a bow.

The Pink Popcast is hilarious. Benji and Rizzo are great commenters/people you can vibe with well. For first time reactions to watching them react to my fave stuff is all around entertaining. Especially when they talk about musicals, Scream and Disney.

That is it. Here's to a new year.

My Ranking of TVD Seasons

*spoilers ahead*

NUMBER 8 - SEASON 8

I mean…do I need to even explain this? We all saw season 8. It was a mess. I felt like I had to drag myself through this season, just because I wanted to see how it ended. The only highlight for me was the ending.

NUMBER 7 - SEASON 5

The characters going to college was always going to be a strange transition - as it is in any tv show that starts with the characters in high school - and I just didn’t like the change. I can’t even put my finger on a specific reason why. It just felt different. This season also had the Travelers and Markos, who were just boring villains. The whole Silas/Qetsiyah plot was interesting at first, but fizzled out for me. The only highlight I could maybe pick out is Katherine’s arc. The show just didn’t fill the hole that the Mikaelsons left behind imo.

NUMBER 6 - SEASON 7

I didn’t completely hate this season. Ngl it was weird without Elena. That being said, I actually liked the time jumps in episodes. I wasn’t a fan of the Caroline pregnancy storyline, but that only happened because Candice King got pregnant irl. It just seemed to me like Caroline felt so bad for Alaric & everything he went through in S6, that she continued the pregnancy out of pity for him. The whole Alaric & Caroline “romance” (if you can call it that) was disgusting too. What were the writers thinking. I enjoyed the Damon and Bonnie moments though and Bonnie finally found a good love interest in Enzo. The Heretics weren’t all terrible either. I liked Nora. The Originals crossover ep was a highlight too.

NUMBER 5 - SEASON 6

Season 6 was a mixed bag for me. I really loved the whole prison world storyline. I thought it was unique and an interesting way to keep Bonnie and Damon alive after the S5 finale. It completely changed their relationship for the better too. Kai Parker was a great villain, one of the best in the whole series. I remember when he first told Bonnie and Damon about what he did to his family, that was the first time I was genuinely disturbed by a TVD character. Liz’s death was so emotional. Elena’s storyline this season was dull and I didn’t enjoy the whole Lily Salvatore thing. The season finale at Alaric and Jo’s wedding was crazy though.

NUMBER 4 - SEASON 4

Hope Mikaelson tutorial above 👀. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I actually liked Elena’s transition and then her no humanity arc. I seriously didn’t like the sirebond thing though. That felt icky to me. Her relationship with Rebekah from enemies to kinda friends was nice. Going to Silas island for the cure was interesting. Did I love the cure storyline? Not really, but it wasn’t the worst.

NUMBER 3 - SEASON 1

So many great moments. I just love this season. I will say, the pilot is a little rough, but most pilots are, so I don’t hold it against the season as a whole. While I’m not a Stelena shipper, I do think Stefan and Elena were very sweet in S1. Elena was also at her best in this season and season 2. When I say I like Elena, it’s this one I’m referring to. Damon was in his villain moment. The arrival of Katherine at the end was just perfect after all the talk about her throughout the season. I will say, I didn’t love S1 the first time I watched it, but when I went back and rewatched it, it became one of my favs.

NUMBER 2 - SEASON 2

This season? Oh this season keeps you on your toes. Elijah’s first appearance was so damn good. The moment at the school dance where Bonnie looks at Elena as she fakes her death with the sparks falling around her was a beautiful shot. I was so stressed the first time I saw it because I really thought Bonnie died. The build up to Klaus’ arrival and then him taking over Alaric’s body, so we kind of got a sneak peek of the character before Joseph Morgan fully entered the show was fantastic. I wish he didn’t kill Jenna, but he wouldn’t be the villain if he didn’t do horrible things.

NUMBER 1 - SEASON 3

The best of the best. The absolute pinnacle of the series. Season 3 was non stop action. It never got boring. And of course one of the main reasons why this season is number one for me is the introduction of the full Mikaelson family. The Originals brought so much to TVD. This was THEIR season tbh. They were the best villains ever in the series, and watching the Mystic Falls characters try to take them out never got old. From Stefan’s ripper arc, to the Mikaelson ball episode, to Alaric being turned by Esther, and then finally, Elena’s death and transition in the final episode; it was just simply a perfect season.

On Their Way to Gotham?

Season 2 Ep 3 Spoilers!

My stream of consciousness after watching the most recent episode.

Lois is offered that job in Gotham and they are slowly leading up to Supergirl this season. I wonder if there will be an episode dedicated to Clark and Lois going on a trip or even Lois going alone to Gotham because she probably is going to be hesitant about revealing the job offer to the others.

I hope the small mentioned of Gotham and the main cast being drawn to it will be an intro to another series but focusing on Batman! I'm not too confident they will because of the show's overall vibes though. It fits perfectly for the lovable himbo Superman but Badman would need something darker. The show airs on adult swim so I think it would be interesting if they did a series that was noticeably darker and more serious than MAWS. Though it would be difficult to have crossovers because the producers would have to settle on either making superman face the maturity Batman's day-to-day involves or watering down Batman's vibes. The only thing really giving me hope for a crossover/entire series dedicated to Batman is the scene when Parasite was basically getting his insides disintegrated.

Either way, I really want to see what this show will do with Bruce and his first interactions with Superman/Clark. If they are more than ok showing and hinting at future DC villains/allies, then why not more explicitly other superheroes? There was that brief moment with the Helmet of Fate, the mother box, mace, (wielded Hawkman and Hawkwoman), green lantern power battery, T-Sphere, and the book of destiny (not super clear if it really is but that's my best guess?) all in Season 1 ep 7. It was a super lore heavy ep basically introducing the DC multiverse. I just feel like they are taking too long to introduce other key members of the justice league when they are so comfortable bringing in things that surround the league. Why not a mention of a prodigy forensic scientist Berry Allan while Superman is trying to investigate something, or wealthy business man Oliver Queen/ Brice Wayne when Superman is asked to investigate a white collar crime? These small easter eggs and name drops don't have to only be for villains and lesser allies!

20 questions for fic writers

I was tagged by my dear, talented friend @mihrsuri Thanks, friend! 💜💜💜💜 1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 13 at the moment 😅

2. What's your total Ao3 word count? 28,823

3. What fandoms do you write for? The West Wing.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? The First Lady - my ongoing fic where I answer the most important question in the world: what was Abbey Bartlet doing during the episodes she didn't appear in?

Josh and the Jackass - what happened right before Governor Bartlet decided to follow Josh to the airport in In the Shadow of Two Gunmen.

Breathe - a post-ep for Dead Irish Writers. Her birthday party is over, and Abbey Bartlet must face the New Hampshire Medical Board.

A Bit Desperate - part three of a series of three-sentence fics about Abbey and Jed in the aftermath of Zoey's kidnapping.

Anything Else I Need to Know - Five times the staff of Bartlet for America interrupted a barbecuing session and one time CJ interrupted a different kind of session. Takes place during the First Bartlet Campaign.

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes, I do. I do my best to respond to every comment I get, as fast as I can. It's a two-way street, we, as fic authors, often complain (and rightly so) about the lack of feedback, the lack of comments and kudos, but we don't respond to comments. As a reader, I am more likely to comment on a fic from an author who's replied to my comments earlier. But I guess I get so few comments that I can easily respond to all of them 🤷‍♀️ and since there are like 7 people who care about what I write, the least I can do is respond to their very kind comments 💜💜

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I guess it's Anything Else I Need to Know. The ending isn't too angsty by itself, but if you put it into context and you know the overarching plot of first few seasons of TWW, it's definitely angsty. Honorable mentions: With Pomp and Parade & And the Silence Haunts our Bedchamber - they both deal with the aftermath of Zoey's kidnapping.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? White Christmas. And Something for Us to Remember too also qualifies. You have to read them to know why 😊😉

8. Do you get hate on fics? Luckily, I'm not popular or interesting enough for that 😅

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes! Oh, all kinds! The worst thing I've ever written came before I started my fanfic writing career (I used to be involved in forum RP, I'm less active there now) and... nope, I'm not going to write about it here. Too cursed. 🙈🙈 If you want to see some sane smut I've written, check out Game On, Boyfriend! I hope I'll write another barbecuing fic soon, so stay tuned.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I don't. But I'd love to see a TWW/NCIS crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I hope not.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? No, but if anyone's interested, go ahead.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, I haven't. The closest thing to co-writing fics was RP-ing which is sort of similar, but not really lol. It might be fun, so if anyone's interested in writing with me, let me know.

14. What's your all time favorite ship? Abbey/Jed! There are many ships I love, but I have to go with my horny nerds.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? There was a WIP I started last year, the first fic I posted, but I ended up deleting it, so it's not very likely that I'll ever finish it.

16. What are your writing strengths? I'm really, really good at research lol! If I'm writing a fic set in the 1960s, I'll make sure that they're eating food, wearing clothes, listening to music etc. that was popular in that period. You won't catch any of my characters wearing historically inaccurate shoes. I'm also really good at digging up random canon details and writing thousands of words around them.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Plot lmao. I write fics about nothing, it's just banter and nerdiness, with the characters and/or the author showing off 🤣🤣

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Hmmm... I don't know, don't think I've ever needed to do it, but I guess it depends on what I want to achieve, I might write it in English and add a dialogue tag like "she said in French" or something.

19. First fandom you wrote for? The first fandom I published a fic for was The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, but the first fandom I wrote for was Harry Potter.

20. Favorite fic you've written? Can't choose only one, so have a few of them:

Breathe: Once again, Abbey is reminded how cruel the world can be towards women. 

No one asked Jed what he was wearing when he took the censure. 

Anything Else I Need to Know: Josh finally opens the door to his room and slumps on his unmade bed.

Next time, he’s going to pay attention. He’s going to pay attention to Mrs. Landingham’s notes on the Governor's schedule. And he’s going to pay attention to Mrs. Landingham’s instructions, so he’ll know what her notes on the Governor’s schedule actually mean. Next time, he’s going to pay attention.

Had Josh been paying attention, he would’ve noticed when the Governor dashed across the hall and up the stairs right after lunch. Had he been paying attention, he would’ve noticed Leo’s smirk that followed the Governor’s departure. Had he been paying attention, perhaps he would’ve noticed the soft, rhythmic squeaking of the bed and muffled gasps and groans coming from the Bartlets’ suite right before he opened the door.

Well, too bad that Josh wasn’t paying attention.

And Something for Us to Remember too: “I take it your conversation with Doug didn’t go well?”

“I spoke slowly and I didn’t use big words, but I couldn’t talk him out of marrying Liz. Maybe I should’ve taken him on a hike. A six-hour hike through Vermont wilderness in the dead of winter would’ve changed his mind.”

“It wasn’t a six-hour anything! I was there, Jed, you were only gone for two hours.”

“You weren’t there, Abigail, you were baking with your mother, while I was fighting for dear life, braving the cold and wolves and bears.” He sighs and adds, “Guess it’s too late to take Doug hiking now and leave him for the bears.”

White Christmas: “’She – New Hampshire – is one of the two best states in the Union. Vermont’s the other’, said Robert Frost, your favorite poet, who also happened to be the poet laureate of Vermont.” Abbey made a dramatic pause and gave Jed a pointed look.

“She’s one of the two best states in the Union. Vermont’s the other.” She continued her performance. “And the two… the two lie like wedges, thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end.”

Jed chuckled.

“Sweet Knees, we’ll lie like wedges, thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end any time you want,” he leered at her, “on our bed, in front of the fireplace, on the kitchen table…” his smirk grew when Abbey’s lips curved into a little smile and her cheeks flushed, “but Robert Frost named his poetry collection New Hampshire, not Vermont.”

“Well, I’m going to write the words ‘Freedom and Unity’ on the pie and you’re going to eat them!”

The First Lady: “Mrs. Landingham withholds food from me,” he complained.

“Because I asked her to.”

“Yeah, cause you don’t want me eating real food like steaks or hamburgers. She won’t let me have a banana.”

“I’m sure you did something to piss her off.” Abbey shrugged.

“Do you two enjoy torturing me?”

“Yes,” she said innocently.

Tagging (no pressure!): @claudiajcregg @onekisstotakewithme @hondagirll @miabicicletta @librarianmouse @holy-ships-x-red-lips

OUR SKYY 2 x BAD BUDDY x A TALE OF THOUSAND STARS – PA AMONG THE CALLBACKS

So how's everyone doing now that two of the four OS2 x BBS x ATOTS episodes have aired? 🥰 I'm treating this as a four-part miniseries because it's just easier for reference, although the fourth episode may possibly be solely an EarthMix vehicle (but I'm hoping it'll be crossover BBS x ATOTS all the way to the end 😍).

Ep.1 and much of Ep.2 were a really fun romp while Director Aof and his writers laid the groundwork for developments to come, and part of that fun was all the callbacks to the original series, lighting up the screen every time they made reference to scenes, plot points, themes and ideas in BBS and ATOTS.

These were loving gifts to loving fans, recreating some of the beloved originals' magic, while also distracting from the story-seeding going on. Some were visual callbacks, using similar onscreen vocabulary to recreate almost verbatim beloved tableaux from the original series, while others were more abstract, requiring you to think about the reference.

There are far too many to list in entirety (including some up at Pha Pun Dao after the crossover got fully going), but here's a sampling of callbacks to BBS from only OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1, that came in thick and fast one after another:

Kicking off the series with Wai, panning upwards from his shoes to his face – the same in both BBS and OS2xBBSxATOTS;

The Archi-Engine face-off at OS2xBBSxATOTS (that isn't quite what it seems) references a similar face-off at BBS Ep.1 [3I4] 7.38;

Louis crashing into Wai with news of Pran's (purported) fight with Pat (OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 3.51) is an inverted replay of Safe crashing into Pran with news of Wai in a fight, that Pran at first thinks is Louis getting into trouble (BBS Ep.1 [1I4] 2.22);

PatPran's discussion behind the red backdrop at OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 5.32 is of course a callback to their reconciliation backstage at the end of BBS Ep.8 (complete with red curtain drop);

Pat going "I signaled you to punch on the left, but you punched on the right" (OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 8.46) of course echoes his "I offered you this cheek, but you punched me on this cheek" (BBS Ep.1 [4/4] 5.14);

Pa interrupting PatPran's kiss (OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 9.45) calls out to BBS Ep.7 [2/4] 10.76 and Ep.7 [4/4] 7.50, and in turn gets called out and captioned by Pran at OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 9.51; 😂

Pat, Pran, Ink and Pa's in-room sukiyaki (OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 10.25) is callback to their hotpot in Tinidee (BBS Ep.9 [2/4] 0.17);

Ink peeling and feeding shrimp to Pa (OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 10.28) is not only a Thai BL trope semi-subverted in its appropriation for GL 🥰, but is also a callback to their hotpot semi-date at BBS Ep.8 [2/4] 0.59.

But really Ink and Pa (especially Pa) turning up with the sukiyaki at OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 9.47 was also a callout to Pa's own treatment as a character in Bad Buddy.

(above) Our Skyy 2 x Bad Buddy x A Tale of Thousand Stars Ep.1 [1I4] 10.04

It bears repeating that Ink as a character in BBS subverted the evil ex-girlfriend trope, turning out to be a supportive bestie instead of vengeance-bent villain. Pa's character also subverted another stereotype, but a lot more subtly.

Pa's line at OS2xBBSxATOTS Ep.1 [1I4] 9.47 especially ("Sukiyaki delivery!") brings us back to all the times she turned up to help her brother and the storyline along in Bad Buddy, usually by providing some help and/or delivering something. A list of examples:

Doing chores for Pat (highlighting his princeling status in the family), including delivering his laundry (Ep.1 [3I4] 2.40);

Driving Pat around in the earlier episodes (more spotlight on Princeling Pat), which then turned into a rescuer role when she and Pat saved Pran from Korn, Mo and Chang (Ep.1 [3I4] 1.49);

Delivering contact lenses (and the gift of clear vision) to Pat at Ink's photoshoot (Ep.4 [2/4] 4.02);

Delivering Pat's ranat ek mallets to him just in time for his audition as Riam (helping to clear the way on the road to PatPran's couplehood, Ep.7 [3I4] 1.38).

The extraneous character, who exists only for exposition and in service of the main couple's storyline, plagues many a BL drama (and this is a fate that falls particularly to any female supporting characters in the cast list, since they're mostly unnecessary to the romantic narrative of a BL, which is romance-driven). Director Aof certainly started off Pa's portrayal looking like she would be destined for a very similar trajectory. But as BBS unfolded, this set-up (like so many others) got rapidly turned on its head, and Pa, just like Ink, got to tell her own story too.

There's more in there than they had time to recount (e.g., Pa's refusal to help Ming in the family business, despite his recognition of her talent there) but most importantly Pa got to play Ink's love interest, iconoclastically breaking so much new ground. In 2023 GL drama is now a thing, and we have InkPa (and Director Aof) to thank for a lot of this.

Ink and Pa also saved Bad Buddy from failing the Bechdel Test, which (it must be said) isn't the best measure for how successful a show is at representing women – it's a rather low bar for that, but shamefully so many shows (especially BL ones) fail it regardless (KinnPorsche comes to mind). But I think BBS passes with flying colors, not least because Ink and Pa's characters were treated with such respect when they could so easily – especially Pa's character – have been given perfunctory template treatment, and turned into cardboard dispensables instead of the believably-rounded characters we got in the final product.

BBS draws a line under this within itself at Ep.5 [2/4] 4.42 when Pa cheekily says "Use a delivery service" with reference to Pat's new drumsticks, because she was not much more than a delivery service herself in the first five episodes, supplying information to aid the unfolding story of PatPran's relationship.

Thus, Pa calling out "Sukiyaki delivery!" in OS2xBBSxATOTS is a reminder of how she was lifted from the usual purgatory of flatly-rendered supporting characters, and given a story arc of her own. Symbolized by her glow-up at the start of BBS Ep.7, Pa was eventually unveiled to us as more than just a colorless wheel in the works, and given her own bit of spotlight as a character worthy of attention in her own right.

Just another example of Director Aof doing something quietly revolutionary within the 12 episodes of BBS! 😍
