documenting this commentary here because it is that good

“长发且已为人妻的时子在根室纪念馆那一集结尾重新来到学园，为弟弟带来了蔷薇扫墓，不知道学园外的世界已经过去了多久；二人擦肩而过，根室却没能认出心心念念的她来，只是匆匆走在自己的回忆里，想要留住自己回忆中的美好，渴望把它化为永恒。

时子：可是，看着你的人会感到寂寞。”

EP23

[the-ghost-of-a-spirit]

me saying my thoughts as i watch mha, starting at s2ep21, ending at the end of the season

s2ep21

so their fighting the teachers, this'll be fun

also nezu climing out of aziawa's scarf is so funny to me, like he just had a guy in his clothes and was normal about it

i dont trust the purple-headed boy vs lady midnight, like have you met him

cementos looks permanatly grumpy

the announcer sounds weird, idk why though.

ok ep 23 now

wait, what happened with the shadow-bird guy and the dupelication guy, the last ep ended with that, then a new one started. i would have liked to watch it

as it turned out, i was actually just watching 21, and am now starting ep22

i like dark shadow

would like to know more about ida's opponent

why is she making russian nesting dolls, why does she seem like somethings wrong, what is her name

i llike mr aizawa

also like todoroki

also the nurse

todoroki being like that when the girl was crying

decided to do the rest of the season, but thats tommorow, or later (not that it matters, its all one post)

ok its the next day lets keep going, im at ep 23

i did not expect laserboy to be able to do something helpful

so basically nesu is supersmart principle mouseman

"in past humans did experiments on nesu and in times like this he gets his vengane" why is that funny and who decided to make him prinicple, i dont trust him

present mic looks funnier then he is, idk why, he seems like he'd be really funny and isnt. like why isnt he funnier, he should be

i wonder what the invisable girls looks like? like can we get her spray-painted or something

purple dude did not plan that

i think i undersetimated purple-dude, give him some character development

it is the funniest thing when the very hero characters pretend to be vilans (almight and ida in that training thing)

if i was fighting almight with bakugo, i'd just get him to try to fight almight (no point it getting him to not) and while almights fighting him, i run away to the gate and we both win. unless we lose

their going to stop hating eachother (as much) after this

i want to cut of almights hair thingies

i wonder whats with the hand-guy

anyway, next and last episode (istg if it ends with a cliffhanger)

very villan focused start, why does the guy have dark skin sewn onto him, the girl is like incrediply happy, optimistic serial killer.

love how aizawa looks like that, with that background when he says everyone is going

logical deception pt2

i wanted a fluff episode, then we get deku getting kidnaped by Hands(the blue haird guy with the hands)

okay, so hands's name is shigaraki

anway, that was fun, those were my thoughts, i'll do this again with s3, i think i'll do it 1 post per about 1/2 a season, so i think the next will be the summer camp thing.

Silver Talks AniManga (17/09/23)

turns out we actually got jump today after all let's go babyyyyyy also one more new series in this serialization round next week but it's about ice skating so not super interested, but we'll see how it is

blue - finale/completed green - new series/new to me

Anime

Atelier Ryza Ep12 (Finale)

nice and chill finale for a chill anime. no sequel announced or hinted at so I guess that was the point of them adding that plotline with empel and lila hunting down the philuscha monster thing. anime was nothing to write home about, the animation was serviceable and never really dipped in quality because of that, the music was from the game so it was good and the voice acting was good as well. some episodes felt really slow but it just be like that when you're adapting a JRPG let alone an atelier one lol. I enjoyed it overall anyway, ryza is super cute and I love her so this anime was basically just an excuse for me to indulge myself in her cuteness for 20 minutes. they also had a lot of klaudia ryza moments which I greatly appreciate. if you've never played the game and want to know if this is a good introduction/starting point.. you should just play the game. you don't really get anything out of this you wouldn't out of the game and you get the whole story instead of just like half of it.

Pokemon Horizons Ep22

nice and action filled episode for once with the return of the original villains and the appearance of this pink chicken. I thought it was p funny moltres is another of the ancient party members since the other is shiny ray and the arboliva which isn't legendary but we'll see how the rest of the party is. also the episode ended on a cliffhanger and I thought that was fucked up since the anime is gonna be on break 2 weeks between cours but that's apparently only next week tehe

Manga

Do Retry Ch19 (Finale)

nice final chapter for do retry, 18 felt a lot like a finale too but this one was a timeskip, all the way to present day, following aozora's grandkid, him going to his funeral and learning about his past. as for the series overall it was...ok. it started with a good impression with some strong art fruit of the author's previous assistant work for matsui but the quality wasn't consistent. the story felt alright at first but as soon as MMA entered the magazine you could really see the gap in their quality. ofc it's not that fair to compare a newcomer to a veteran but still. and then came the cancelation which made the story speed up even more which didn't help it either making it end up as a pretty weak series. I'd say the author could do a better job on their next series but I think they'd be better suit to do some more assistant work for a bit before trying again, but hey I'd rather read another do retry than ichinose so it's not all bad.

Kagurabachi Ch1

hey that was pretty good, I liked it a lot more than mamayuyu last week. the art looked serviceable during the downtime scenes but I really liked how the action looked. also, as is known, I'm a huge slut for swords so having a katana based series like this is like a treat, just for me :). not much to say about the story since they didn't really reveal much either, seems like a standard fare revenge story but we'll see how it goes.

Kaiju 8 Ch93

the hoshina fight is finally over, it was a lot longer than I expected considering the others but it was VERY cool I've always liked hoshina since he's a Swordsman™ and this fight really showed how cool he is. was pogging out my gourd when he went santouryuu. only 2 more fights left now til we get the big climax one with hibino

MamaYuyu Ch2

oh hey would you look at that, I guessed it right last week and their world is getting invaded by demons. we'll see next week how the action goes cause it'll be mc's first time fighting. also gonna take some more time to get used to the weird paneling but it had some neat ones like chap 1 again

Blue Box Ch117

great chap, not only did taiki get his first major w but we also had this cute moment with him saying natsu's name without the honorific

Martial Master Asumi Ch13

great chap too, nito's first official fight started off with a bang and we finally got to see his long teased super move. ofc the next fights won't be so easy but that makes me look forward to them more

Sailor Moon - Thoughts (S01EP13-EP22)

01-12 . 13-22 . 23-27 . 28-46

spoilers! regarding| jadeite's downfall, who the following antagonist is

May all the magical goddesses bestow upon me their smartest magical girls and manifest in me the ability to get through my second semester of college. Please Mizuno Ami, lend me just two braincells.

Jan. 2

Sometime I forget Luna is a cat. Just look at her. So cat-like. Lovely.

When that projection of Jadeite appeared I thought it was so cool, until I deemed it kinda silly.

SAILOR SOLDIERS INVENTED FEMINISM REAL. (What is that team chant though TwT it felt so awkward LMAO, the way they silently go into a little fighting stance.)

I don't. It's. Queen Beryl should've listened to Jadeite. He found out the identities of the sailor soldiers, let him tell you. Get this incredibly important information and then sentence the man to "Eternal Sleep". Jadeite has been for the most part useless and arrogant but he got such imporant pieces of information that Queen Beryl should've utilized because everyone is blind as hell. But whatever. I'm not as pressed about this as my wording makes it sound I promise. It's silly. As silly as "Eternal Sleep" is being put into a large ice shard then electorally teleported somewhere. Dear lord, I love me some good matriarchy.

I thought the Dark Kingdom had uniforms but turns out it's just the Shitennou who had uniforms, which makes sense. I don't think the Shintennou was ever mentioned when Jadeite was the major antagonist, he was called commander a few times if I remember correctly, but the existence of other members on par to his status in the Dark Kingdom was never mentioned.

Nephrite being an astrology boy is funny. Zoisite is very girlypop and he reminded me of Asmodeus from Obey Me.... The moment they started bickering I put in my notes, "Nephrite and Zoisite sleep together on the weekends to relieve stress." But I take it back as I have since learned that Zoisite already has a lover.

Nephrite manifested a forest and a mansion with a struck of thunder and the episode is bombarded with bisexual lightning in his official introductory episode. What an entrance. And then he gets lobotomized.

Usagi not understanding why Naru calls Rui, "Rui-nee-san", geniuely does not make sense realistically. Because not only is it super common for "nee-san" and "nii-san" to be used between close friends (even strangers, though in a slightly different sense), Usagi herself uses it for Motoki!!! Every time she addresses Motoki, she says "Motoki-onii-san"!!!!! So realistically, Usagi should've connected the dots after Naru remained her that she (Naru) was an only child and had a different surname than Rui. Usagi should've understood then that Naru calls Rui "nee-san" as a term of endearment. BUT THIS WAS ALL A PLOY for Naru to explain the relatioinship between her and Rui which would've been unprompted otherwise so we could feel for the upcoming conflict.

Wondering if Tuxedo Mask has a time limit regarding how long he can stay transformed, which would explain why he always dipped after doing the bare minimum.

That ^ was episode 14, and in episode 15 it would technically be made known to us that Mamoru himself doesn't even know he's Tuxedo Mask (more or less confirmed in episode 19). Having finished season one, we still don't know the details of how Tuxedo Mask came to be and why he gets a headache when Usagi transforms. I hope it gets explained at some point because I'm very curious TT.

Speaking of Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru, you find out he's IN COLLEGE. I won't talk about this too much right now, mostly because I'll probably make a post solely about this topic later on, but you bet I was shocked and in disbelief. I am aware of the changes from manga to anime, and I believe there are also major changes from the 90's and Crystal versions of Sailor Moon? I'll do more web surfing when it comes time to do so. Ultimately though, the "analysis" will be based/on account of how Usagi and Mamoru's relationship is protrayed in the animes. Allow me to preface that the goal of the post won't be to bash anyone for shipping them! As far as I can tell, there is a little bit of discourse surrounding the ship, and I simply wish to explore the opinion of others' and come to my own conclusion which I hope anyone who reads it will respect just as I would respect theirs even if we were to disagree.

Rei's been crushing on Mamoru for a couple episodes at this point, and at the time I noted that if Rei asked Mamoru directly if he was Tuxedo Mask, it would've cut the series down by 100 episodes. Clearly, I was wrong. I will say, Sailor Moon did surprise me by its speed of progression. I had anticipated it would drag on much longer since it was around 230 episodes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And it turns out Zoisite can also do illusion message magic. Jadeite isn't special.

Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Mars each have merch now. So, Tuxedo Mask is popular and well-known enough to get merch made but not popular enough for any of the girls at Usagi's school to know who he is? A little background, this was episode 19. All the girls in Usagi's school were sent a love letter, allegedly from Tuxedo Mask (it was sent by Nephrite), and none of them but Usagi knew who Tuxedo Mask was. Fast forward to a scene at Game Center Crown within the same episode, Mamoru is playing a crane game, trying to get a Tuxedo Mask plush. Naru knows about the exisitence of Sailor Soldiers, so it's not preposterous to assume the girls at school do too. You'd think Tuxedo Mask falls within that category of known/famous superheroes? Especially with his mysterious look, he should theoretically be popular with teenage girls. Or is it because he retreats so quickly that no one even sees/notices him? Then why does he have a plush? Why would companies make something with no demand??

I've rambled for too long. None of this matters??? I'd like to get a Sailor Mars and Sailor V plush from a crane machine.

Also, fellas, is it more gay to kiss a homie on the lips or more gay to buy a pack of expensive limited edition drawing pencils and splitting it with your friend while you guys are in high school, on the path to becoming pro animators, making a pinkie promise to not use them unless asking the other first and it can only be used for special occasions so that they can draw anime that will "never disappoint the dreams of children"?

It's 5AM. I didn't realize I've been working on this for so long... (since 1230AM). I'm going to give shorter comments about episode 22, then hopefully go to bed (update: I went to bed at 7AM).

There are so many things I could say about Naru and Nephrite, but since their situation continues in episodes 23 and 24 I will save it for the next part. What I will say right now is that the whole thing infuriates me. Even more so when I can't tell if that's what was intended or if it actually wanted me to feel sad for the outcome. I am sad. In a disappointed way. More on this in 23-27.

And. Well. Don't kiss a minor. Don't kiss someone under the influence. Don't kiss a minor who is under the influence and barely conscious. Can you tell I'm not happy about the kiss? I have genuine hatred and icks for this episode.

Be safe. Drink water. Get up and stretch if you've been in the same position for a while now. This is a threat.

EP22 - Tumblr Trans - with Helena Kerschner

Helena (age 23) identified as non-binary and transgender throughout her teenage years, transitioning with HRT from the age of 18 - 19 before detransitioning. In this episode, she reflects on the social and online influences that led her down the path to transition. 

Aaron Terrell: So we are hoping to talk about the cultural aspect of transgenderism or transgender ideology, and more like the social justice -- what we commonly know in academic circles as like queer theory, but as it's applied in more like online youth realms, more commonly known as basically like social justice theory, or a social justice framework, and how that's probably the primary driver in so much youth transition today, or even 20-something transition today. And Helena knows that stuff inside and out, so she has joined us to shed light so thank you very much

If you want to introduce yourself for the people who don't know you, which I doubt is anybody but, yeah, introduce yourself.

Helena: Well, if anyone has not seen me rabidly go off on the timeline yet, I'm a de-transitioned woman, I'm 23, and I started identifying as trans when I was 15 after getting very involved in Tumblr fandoms. And with that came obviously, the social justice stuff which I believe played just a huge, huge part in my trans identity and eventual decision to transition. When I was 18, I went on testosterone, and I was on testosterone for about 17 months before I desisted, and after I desisted I kind of identified as non-binary for a few months. And then eventually I just said.. I'm a girl. So, yeah, that's the short version of my story.

Aaron Terrell: It seems like for a lot of people, the non-binary identity is either kind of like sometimes an on-ramp or an off-ramp from full-on trans identification.

Helena: Yeah, and I think like, I know we'll definitely get into this more, but I think the reason for that is because when you're immersed in these social justice spaces, that's a very strict, almost like moral code with your peers that basically says that if you're privileged, then you're responsible for all of this pain and suffering and wrongdoing in the world. And for someone like me, who at the time was a cis, straight, white girl from a middle, upper-middle class upbringing, I felt a lot of guilt about all of this privilege that I had. And obviously you can't change your race, you can't change your sexuality, you can't change where your family comes from, but one thing that you can change is your pronouns. So it's really easy for girls who are in the situation - or boys too, I think especially boys, who are young, they're not socially adept - and they're faced with this very strict, kind of unforgiving moral framework. It's so easy to just to say "you know, I'm gonna try going by they/them pronouns" and then you get this positive feedback loop.

So, we'll probably talk more about that, but that's my opinion on on that.

Aaron Terrell: Well, we can even talk about it now. What I've noticed, slowly over the last few years, kind of clued into, is it's almost if you don't choose to identify as non-binary, it's almost like you're actively choosing to be an oppressor, to participate in these oppressive structures where you're on an upper ledge. It's almost like there's - it's so much farther beyond peer pressure - that you you feel compelled to adapt a trans identification in some way. And like you're saying, this is often people in your kind of demographic range: white people, typically middle or upper class, where you have this guilt, and this lack of an existing cultural kind of community to identify yourself with. And so it has this twofold appeal is that it comes with this sense of personal differentiation and a community to belong to, as well as getting you out of the oppressive class you exist in, if you're cis and straight.

Helena: Exactly, and I think teenagers are already in a state where they're so vulnerable to social rejection and so when you've already been rejected a lot of the times just for being more introverted, or more nerdy, or having autism, or being gay, anything like that - when you've already kind of been rejected from your in real life social circles, whether that's your community or your school, and then you seek refuge from that in these online spaces, and then you're hit with "once again we will reject you unless you change this, or unless you fit into this, some kind of oppressed group in some way.” Not that it's explicit, but it's very much the cis, straight, white people are the ones who are constantly the butts of very negative jokes. You'll get told, you have no right to speak on this, you have no right to be depressed or struggle with anything, because you're so privileged. And so I think that's an incredible incentive.

Aaron Terrell: There's a lot of cultural forces and incentives to adapting it, and then it seems like - and I don't think this was your experience as far as when you started testosterone, but something that I've seen that seems to be the case in a lot of that kind of understanding - is that transition is almost seen as  something that you do to demonstrate how committed you are to the trans moral code. It's not so much that you feel like there's a problem with your body that you need to fix, but more like by transitioning, it's like you're demonstrating a commitment to this moral code. Is that something that you saw?

Helena: I do relate to that, and I think it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with having body image issues. I think that it's kind of like eating disorders, you know, where it's like someone with an eating disorder is going to have genuine torturous angst over their body and disliking their body, but at the same time, there's also the socially contagious communal aspect where it's like you want to be the sickest, you want to be going the furthest, you want to be showing your commitment. So I think that does exist almost in a direct parallel in some of these young FTM or non-binary circles.

[...]

Helena: So I just pretty much from the get-go started using Tumblr a lot hours and hours and hours a day, and anyone who's been on Tumblr knows that pretty much as soon as you get involved in any kind of community, you see the social justice kind of posts popping up. So, in between everything, you have with whatever you're interested in, your fandom, you'll see posts just all over the place talking about social justice stuff all the time. And a lot of the times it's very emotionally charged. It's not just some kind of educational post, it's like "white people need to shut up," just really emotionally charged stuff.

I remember seeing this kind of stuff and at first - I had one friend in real life at this point, and he was a gay boy using Tumblr as well and I remember we would be calling each other late at night and making fun of these social justice warriors, because we just thought it was kind of ridiculous. And then I had a falling out with that friend and we kind of stopped talking. So then I was just left to Tumblr. And I remember just always having this kind of deep resentment of like, why are you talking such shit about cis people, what's wrong with being cis, what's wrong with not wanting to transition or be trans or think I'm a boy, there's nothing weird about that. I had this intense resentment of that.

But over time that resentment I guess. turned into okay fine, I guess I need to not be cis. Like, a subconscious process, this wasn't like a decision to like, I'm not going to be cis anymore. But I think it was a subconscious process of just giving in and being like, look I don't want to feel this resentment, I don't want to feel like I'm constantly the butt of every joke, I don't want to feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells because if I say anything, a billion people are going to come at me because I'm cis and I have no right to talk. So, I remember there was a few days where I kind of mulled over it, and then I was like, you know what, maybe they/them pronouns do feel better than she/her pronouns. I've never felt connected to being a girl anyway - what does that even mean?

So, I made my little post being like, I'm just trying out they/them pronouns to see how it feels. And then obviously immediately everyone was like, oh that's so awesome, that's great, we'll call you they/them, we accept you, blah, blah. And so I was like, cool. And it just kind of kept going from there where I would acclimate to the they/them pronouns, not doing any of this in real life, this was all on Tumblr, but then again my mind was all on Tumblr too, I wasn't really connecting with the outside world at all.

I would acclimate to the they/them pronouns, and then I would be like okay, well you know what, I think I'm actually a demi-girl, that's my gender identity. And then I would kind of acclimate to that. People would be like, yay, so proud of you. And then I would say, you know what, maybe I'm agender. And then people would be like, yay, yay, congratulations. And then I would acclimate to that. And then I'd be like, well maybe my pronouns are xie/xir - I remember I used that at one point. And again, everybody is like super happy about it.

And yeah, it took me from feeling like, oh I've been rejected in real life and now I'm getting rejected again, and I'm really angry about it and but I don't feel I don't have the confidence to just continue being myself so I'm going to change myself. And then when I changed myself, there was all of this social reward.

Aaron Kimberly: That's the point that I was picking up on in your story, right, is every time you announced a change in identity, you were getting the reward of the approval, and the support. And then it makes me wonder, that really reinforces a constant changing of identity, because I could see a person getting - especially if a person is really isolated - this, if every time you change your identity you're getting that kind of hit of that reward, it does seem to - it makes sense to me anyway, that that would lend itself to people kind of experimenting with a lot of different identities and constantly shifting identity.

Helena: And another thing is that, obviously when you're first learning about all this gender identity, pronoun stuff, it seems like this massive world of stuff that you've never considered. And so I think that when in your real life you feel like people don't accept you, but then in this alternate reality of Tumblr, you feel like people accepted you for they/them, you start to think like, could I push this further, could I test to see how much people accept me based on how intricate my pronouns and gender become. I'm sure you guys have seen this online where people write in their bios or in their card or whatever, they'll be like, my pronouns change depending on blah, blah, blah, blah, and my gender identity is different depending on blah, blah, blah, I'm a girl during the full moon, and I am an androgene agender, blah, blah, blah when it rains. People kind of do that.

And I think that, at least for me, because I didn't go that far but I did use the xie/xir pronouns, and stuff like that. I think that it's kind of like you're feeling acceptance for the first time, and that it's conditional, but you're so hungry for that feeling of acceptance that you keep changing things and making them more complicated and digging the hole even further, to test if people will continue accepting you. And they always do, because it's not real acceptance, it's conditional, and they just continue cheering you on. And it's so easy to get your perception warped that way.

Aaron Terrell: Do you think that there is some social currency in that worldview where you're essentially separating yourself further and further from like, mainstream understandings? Is that where the praise is coming from, that you're kind of distancing yourself more and more from like, cis-het society?

Helena: Absolutely, I think that it's there on like the political level where in the worldview it's like, cis heteronormative, post-colonialist, white society is this evil, horrible institution that's killing people and blah, blah, blah. And then so, what you want to do in response to that is to separate yourself. And in this particular worldview, a lot of that is done through identity and through language, and so you want to separate yourself from that, you know, cis, heteronormative, white hegemony or whatever they want to call it. So, there's that.

But then I think there's also just the kind of normal teenage tendency to - for some teenagers - to want to be part of an alternative group, an alternative lifestyle. So, I think there's that too. I remember feeling that way when I was in high school, when I had to go to school and interact with the normies, I would just kind of cope with the fact that I wasn't fitting in by being like, these idiots, they don't even understand that we live in a cis, hetero, white patriarchy, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that was just kind of my way of not having to really come to terms with the fact that I didn't have many friends, or that I wasn't fitting in with the normal people. I think that's pretty normal for certain teenagers, but there's definitely that at play too.

[...]

Aaron Terrell: So, you also had a really interesting experience at that clinic, because as I recall, you're telling Sasha and Stella on "Gender: A Wider Lens," you basically told them, oh I've got big boobs and big hips, and therefore I need extra testosterone, and they're like, oh yeah, totally that sounds legit.

Helena: Literally, I shit you not, that is what happened. So, usually they start you off on a dose, from what I've heard from other women who have been on testosterone, usually 25 milligrams is kind of where you get started out. I've heard from a much smaller group of people that 50 milligrams is where they started out, but usually it's somewhere down there.

And so I originally was getting prescribed 25 milligrams - and this is a week - and I expressed that I was concerned that it wasn't going to have any effect on me, because I feel like I produce more estrogen, because I have big hips, not even big hips, big thighs and big boobs, which is crazy to me every time I tell this story, I'm like what the, why did she listen to me? You can look at me, I don't have abnormally large boobs or thighs, what the fuck?

But yeah, basically she was just kind of like, okay so do you want to go up to like 50 milligrams? And I was like, I might need it to be higher. And so she was like, okay so where do you want to start at? And I was just like, what's the highest? And she said, usually we don't go over 100 milligrams. And then I was like, can we do that? And she agreed to it, and so that's what she prescribed me. I have the records and everything.

Aaron Kimberly: Just to put that in perspective, I'm on 65 every week. Have been for years.

Aaron Terrell: I started at 25 and was on that for six years, and I've been on 50 for the last four. It's interesting when you talk about the kind of mental turmoil, the emotional roller coaster that you went on, it makes a lot of sense when you realize how just how much testosterone was flooded into your system.

Helena: With no gradual build-up to it. It was just one day I had normal female levels of testosterone, and the next day I was injecting 100 milligrams into my flesh.

Aaron Terrell: It's likely about 50 times what your body was used to, somewhere between like 30 to 50, I would say.

apo//thecary diaries rant

i finally watched ep22 and 23, and up til now i liked the anime and the small changes they did. i thought jinshi's slow walk with maomao in his arms was a strange change, and perhaps they wanted it to seem more somber or realistic for the time period. but it was a weird choice imo

recently they finally did maomao's mom reveal and i AM FURIOUS at the changes. it was just completely different. it was like they didnt even read the original material, EVERYTHING was changed... lakan didnt even say his ICONIC line, when he saw fengxian's face for the first time... nor did it even SHOW her expression properly. which was the eNTIRE POINT OF... THE SCENE!!!

also lakan mentioned how cutting off the pinky finger was meant to be a curse, but it was more meant to be a promise between lovers... which is what he'd said in the manga. i'm fuming rn LMAO. i hate this. im mad that this is what the anime watchers will see and then not realize the absolute beauty of what this scene SHOULD'VE BEEN!!! even the stylistic choices they made with the music and lakan's flashbacks/memories... they felt so bad tbh. it felt like they just gave up and didnt know what to do.

今日はアメリカ ペンシルバニア鉄道のEP22形（E8A形） 全盛期は本当に先進的な鉄道会社ですごかったけど すごい勢いで衰退していった…

[the-chessboard-is-personal]

yeap

ep5 6:26 - p. PENISLAND. nice one Pen

ep7 3:45 - hmmm I wonder if there's perhaps a contestant that was once human until they tried a product from a random commercial...

ep8 9:44 - an entire two minutes of Ice Cube being tortured. why lmao?

ep9 1:00 - Bomb?? wait this is from before ii.. woah. crossover

ep11 2:16 - well that was very Thirteen Years Ago of you

ep12 6:18 - Taco ii 🤝 Rocky bfdi seemingly armless character that doesn't talk much and also vomits stuff. hmm I wonder if Rocky will end up being actually really smart and pretending to be dumb to not get votes..

ep12 7:00 - Lightbulb, Paper, Marshmallow, Nickel- oh that's Quarter. and Candle (kinda)????

ep13 1:13 - hmmm remodeling the elimination area multiple times in quick succession, where have I seen that before.. /silly

ep14 7:02 oh fuck that's a lot. Spoon (close enough yeah?), Paintbrush, Cherries, Balloon, Suitcase, Taco, Box..y, Apple and actual Nickel are the ones seen in ii I think. did I get them all?

ep15 1:18 - ._. ...Blueberry, Cheesy, Knife, Pickle(kinda), Microphone(kinda), Bomb(kinda), Snappy as an honorable mention bc of the cameras in ii, Box(kinda), Apple, Cherries(kinda)

ep16 0:10 - wh. what. why. please no- oh okay good

ep16 2:43 - Nickel, honorable mention Camery, Cheesy(kinda), Bomb(kinda), Orange, Fan(kinda..?), Ipad is kinda like MePad? ..I have a feeling I'm going to have to do this every episode-

ep17 1:24 - yknow what I'm not doing this anymore I have a costume to make. if I see YinYang in a crowd though I will say so

ep17 9:06 - Balloon(kinda), Bomb(kinda), bHUH- um. Fan(kinda), Nickel, Nonexisty, Taco,

ep18 1:33 - Baseball, Balloon and hey hold on why does Elimination Contestants look like that not all of those guys have been eliminated- ......hey I have a theory. Pencil is gonna win. because Elimination Contestants consists of everyone else. huh.

ep19 0:23 - well that's

ep19 4:56 - what the fuck is Announcer's diary about-

ep20 5:45 - no YinYang but Sepper and Danny kind of look similar a little bit

ep22 6:34 - well that was a neat episo[steven universe related flashbacks] uoh

ep23 3:46 - ohh the final competition being all of the previous ones.. tbh I genuinely really like how similar bfdi and ii are.

ep25 0:28 - ........................................sigh. skipping 1b, it's "yeah what is it now I see you are taking the word with the place of the episode number this is is (a or message, depending on if hup is a word) no coincidence". great

ep25 1:56 - wait. enhance. slow it down. bring it back. do I see..

perhaps? kinda?? who these are I will never know, as they are not labeled.

CHESS MENTIONED

lmao- oh hey it's MePhone 4

overall, eh. maybe it's just that I've seen ii recently so it takes a lot of Angst to get much of a reaction from me, but it's alright

probably about the reaction I had to ii s1 idk i don't remember things

I'll watch s2 later maybe

watching bfdi and I gotta say. this is just how ii started but with different characters /silly

might turn this into a liveblog idk (<- has just finished episode 1)

Full MLB S4 episode list and air-dates released!!

First, the S4 episode list:

(Credits to: Miraculous Ladybug News)

P.S: The ticked episode names mark the episodes that have been aired so far. This list shows the episode names in English.

Click here to view the episode names in French and here to view this list in Portuguese.

S4 EP15 (EP415) is titled Glaciator 2, S4 EP20 (EP420) is titled Qilin, S4 EP 22 (EP422) is titled Ephemeral,S4 EP 23 (EP423) is titled Kuro Neko and S4 EP24 (EP424) is titled Penalteam .

S4 EP25 (EP425) is titled Risk- ShadowMoth's last attack-Part 1 and S4 EP26 (EP26) is titled Strike Back- ShadowMoth's last attack-Part 2.

Now, meanings of certain new episode names, which might stir up new and fun theories in your minds! :

If u don't wanna see those meanings, feel free to scroll down to the air-dates!

(S4 EP 20) I think this episode is gonna be related to Marinette's Chinese background, or Gina being in China, or maybe is gonna be about the comeback of Fei! Cuz it was implied that the 'girl' Gina was referring to in Simpleman might be Fei ! Let's see!

(S4 EP22)Well, no theories abt this from my side!

(S4 EP23) I have no theories about this except for the inkling that this might revolve around Cat Noir, or the Black Cat Miraculous, or purr-haps, a Past Black Cat Miraculous holder! Or maybe about Plagg or his past too! But let me clear one thing, Kagami is NOT going to take Cat Noir's Miraculous. This has been confirmed by @Anita on Twitter.

Now, onto the Air-Dates!
