#february 5th 1975

[project-sekai-facts]

Only one date is ever mentioned in-game, that being 2021. Considering that the Virtual Singer Fan Festa seems to be a stand-in for Magical Mirai 2021, we can assume that the Scramble Fan FESTA! event takes place in September 2021 (the real-life MM2021 was delayed to November due to covid-19, but the pandemic doesn't exist in-universe and MM Tokyo usually takes place at the beginning of September). There are Leo/need Daily Life social media posts that show them attending Magical Mirai, and do state the year of the event, but these can be considered promotional material for the event itself rather than canon material, especially since the characters address in-game that only one year has passed since the start of the story (despite the fact they have celebrated new year's day 4 times now. Timeloop things).

Based on this date, we can actually place exactly when every main character was born. The cutoff date for Japanese schools is April 1st, making Ena the oldest main character, being a 3rd year with a birthday of April 30th, followed by Tsukasa on May 17th, so on so forth all the way down to Kohane, a 2nd year with a birthday of March 2nd.

Considering when Scramble Fan FESTA is set, Ena, who was a 2nd year at the time, would be 17 years old. That would place her date of birth as April 30th, 2004. Additionally, while Kohane, a first year at the time, should be 15 during the event, the game considers her to be 16 due to using a set age for every grade bracket. Regardless, the event setting places her date of birth as March 2nd, 2006.

Based on this, we can conclude that:

Ena, Tsukasa, Rui, and Shizuku were born in 2004

Mafuyu, Kanade, Airi, Minori, Saki, Toya, Nene, An, Ichika, Mizuki, Emu, Haruka, Honami, and Akito were born in 2005

Shiho and Kohane were born in 2006

This also means that Ena, Tsukasa and Rui are all older than the MEIKO software (released November 5th 2004), and everyone except Kohane is older than the KAITO software (released February 17th 2006). Every main character is older than Miku, the Kagamines, and Luka based on this information.

Using the information around set ages*, we can also work out rough estimates for when the side characters were born. For example, Arata, who was 19 during the first 3 years of the game, is 3 years older than the members of VBS who were all considered to be 16. Since the members of VBS were born in the April 2005 - April 2006 school year range, Arata was likely born in the 2002-2003 school year range.

* based on how characters like Youta and Miu, who are said to be the same age as Leo/need, were both confirmed to be 16 years old before the 3rd anniversary age-up. Also Haruka's age is confirmed as 16 at a point in time when she shouldn't be 16. Timeloop things.

Based on this, the oldest living side character, Kounosuke, who was 55 pre-3rd anniversary and 39 years older than Emu, was probably born between April 1966 and April 1st 1967. On the younger side of things, Hanano, who was 14 pre-3rd anni, was likely born between April of 2007 and 2008. I've put the rest of the estimated side character DOBs under the cut.

assumed age as of 3rd anniversary in brackets (literally just pre-age-up age + 1)

Rakunosuke Otori - April 2nd 1922 ~ April 1st 1923 (98 (at time of death. would be 100 if still alive))

Kounosuke Otori - April 2nd 1966 ~ April 1st 1967 (56)

Jean Riley - 1967~1968 (55)

Harumichi Aoyagi - 1968~1969 (54)

Shin'ei Shinonome - 1973~1974 (49)

Mr Yoisaki - 1975~1976 (47)

Ken Shiraishi - 1978~1979 (44)

Taiga Kotaki - 1978~1979 (44)

Yuuka Kazamatsuri - 1990~1991 (32)

Keisuke Otori - 1991~1992 (31)

Shousuke Otori - 1994~1995 (28)

Tatsuya Okazaki - 1999~2000 (23)

Ayaka Saito - 2001~2002 (21)

Hinata Otori - 2001~2002 (21)

Iori - 2002~2003 (20)

Mio - 2002~2003 (20)

Arata Tono - 2002~2003 (20)

Souma Miyata - 2002~2003 (20)

Kotaro Mita - 2004~2005 (18)

Sakurako Seiryuin - 2004~2005 (18)

Nanami "Nanamin" Hayakawa - 2004~2005 (18)

Futaba Natsuno - 2004~2005 (18)

Ayumi Tabata - 2004~2005 (18)

Hibiki Miyake - 2004~2005 (18)

Shuuta Hayashi - 2004~2005 (18)

Ibuki Taniyama - 2004~2005 (18)

Yuina Uchiyama - 2005~2006 (17)

Shouta Hayashi - 2005~2006 (17)

Miu Takagi - 2005~2006 (17)

Youta Yoshizaki - 2005~2006 (17)

Riho Hasegawa - 2005~2006 (17)

Saku Kousaka - 2005~2006 (17)

Mai - 2006~2007 (16)

Hanano Yoshizaki - 2007~2008 (15)

Ambiguous:

These ages were given in the 3rd fanbook, but there is not really any way to tell if these are the characters' ages at introduction or ages after the 3rd anniversary age-up. Here are both possible DOB ranges.

Mrs Asahina - 1980/81 or 1981/82 (41)

Yoshiki Shindou - 1982/83 or 1983/84 (39)

Yuuki Akiyama - 1999/2000 or 2000/01 (22)

Asahi Genbu - 2003/4 or 2004/5 (18)

Arisa Higure - 2004/5 or 2005/6 (17)

Additional notes (mod is rambling atp):

Rakunosuke died when he was 98 years old. In the WxS main story, Emu says that he died a year ago. Assuming Emu was 15 at the time, they have an age gap of around 83 years. The year of birth listed here was based on that assumption.

We know that Kanade's mother died aged 30, but we do not know when she died. She is still alive in flashbacks set roughly 10 years prior to the events of game.

We do not have confirmed ages for Nagi, Reki, Sakaki, Ohara, MMJ's landlady, Mafuyu's father, Daigo, Hiiragi, or the members of ReLight, yet

Rui suggests that Reki is the same age as him in A Story Where You Are The Star. However since it's more vague than Asahi, I left it out. However, Asahi was since confirmed as 18 when he was compared to Reki as being similar age, it is likely that Reki is also around 18 years old.

Nagi's age is left blank in the fanbook due to it not being revealed that she was dead at the time of publication. She is younger than Taiga, but we don't know by how much, but nonetheless she was likely born in the early 1980s. It is unlikely we will ever know her exact age.

Ohara is stated to be in his mid-30s, placing his birth year as somewhere in the 1980s, likely around 1986-1989. Sakaki is an old college friend of Ohara's, so he is likely a similar age.

Daigo went to college with Shousuke, so he is likely a similar age. We can assume he was born at some point in the early-mid 90s.

No NPCs are given exact birthdays

Chigiri Hyoma — December 23rd, 2001 (17)* 44. Kunigami Rensuke — March 11th, 2002 (17)* 46. Isagi Yoichi — April 1st, 2002 (17)* 47. Kurona Ranze — September 6th, 2002 (16) 48.

* As Sae has turned 18 after the Second Selection and Isagi has turned 17 sometime during or a bit before the PxG match, it can be assumed that every character with a birthday between was a year younger and has aged up to the ages currently shown on the list sometime in the series.

So basically: Michael Kaiser — December 25th, 1999 (18 → 19) Itoshi Sae — October 10th, 2000 (17 → 18) Aryu Jyubei — November 3rd, 2000 (17 → 18) Kuon Wataru — November 16th, 2000 (17 → 18) Iemon Okuhito — November 19th, 2000 (17 → 18) Otoya Eita — December 3rd, 2000 (17 → 18) Ishikari Yukio — December 10th, 2000 (17 → 18) Gagamaru Gin — January 2nd, 2001 (17 → 18) Tokimitsu Aoshi — March 21st, 2001 (17 → 18) Raichi Jingo — October 11th, 2001 (16 → 17) Tsurugi Zantetsu — October 30th, 2001 (16 → 17) Hiori Yo — November 30th, 2001 (16 → 17) Chigiri Hyoma — December 23rd, 2001 (16 → 17) Kunigami Rensuke — March 11th, 2002 (16 → 17) Isagi Yoichi — April 1st, 2002 (16 → 17) Nanase Nijiro — January 1st, 2003 (15 → 16) Niko Ikki — February 5th, 2003 (15 → 16) Naruhaya Asahi — March 20th, 2003 (15 → 16)

** The birth year and age of these characters are unknown because it is unclear whether these characters have aged into their listed ages or were these ages when introduced, so there is a chance that these ages are now off by one year. Thus, they may be either a year younger and have just turned that age or are all currently a year older because their birthdays have passed now.

In other words: Isagi Iyo — January 4th, 1975 OR 1976 (43 → 44 || 42 → 43) Noel Noa — April 2nd, 1987 OR 1988 (31 → 32 || 30 → 31) Jinpachi Ego — March 31st, 1988 OR 1989 (30 → 31 || 29 → 30) Dada Silva — October 23rd, 1989 OR 1990 (28 → 29 || 27 → 28) Leonardo Luna — October 31st, 1990 OR 1991 (27 → 28 || 26 → 27) Pablo Cavasoz — March 7th, 1995 OR 1996 (23 → 24 || 22 → 23)

Other things to keep in mind:

Blue Lock is supposed to be set in mid/late 2018, and the current events we see take place in 2019. Given that the series has an official setting and official ages with confirmed passage of time with people aging as their birthdays pass, characters should be born during the years listed above.

However, the birth years of certain adults (see above) can be iffy simply because there is a lack of information about them and the exact timeline of events occurring in the series. (E.g. it is known that Isagi turned 17 sometime around the PxG match, but it is unclear whether or not Noel Noa's birthday has also passed despite his birthday being the day after Isagi's.)

What is certain are the birth years of the U-20 players and the Blue Lock participants because U-20 players cannot be older than the maximum age of 20 in the year of the competition to qualify, so their oldest has to be born sometime in '99 to be able to play. As for the Blue Lock participants, the original 300 players were selected from a pool of high schoolers, so they have to be between 15-18, as Japan only has three years of high school, with each grade having a specific age range due to how the school year is arranged to start in April and end in March, as such, 1st years are always 15-16 years old, 2nd years are always 16-17 years old and 3rd years are always 17-18 years old, so everyone had to be born between '00-'03.

Extra things that came to mind as I wrote this:

— As it is currently April in Blue Lock, the 3rd year boys are technically graduated from high school, and the 1st and 2nd years should be the 2nd and 3rd years now. — Depending on how far into April it is, Yukimiya could be or turn 19. — The boys would be around 20-25 years old irl rn.

Thunderchiefs at Hill AFB (cupido)

1970s: The F-105 and Reserve 508th Tactical Fighter Group at Hill AFB

May 21, 2020

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah --

Editor's note: This feature is part of a Hill Air Force Base 80th anniversary series. These articles will feature the base’s historical innovations and achievements, and will highlight mission platforms that have been operated and supported throughout the decades.

During the 1970s, several Hill Air Force Base tenant organizations made various changes. Formerly assigned to the 452nd Tactical Airlift Wing, the Air Force Reserve 945th Military Airlift Group was reassigned to the 301st Tactical Fighter Wing on July 1, 1972. Resulting from this reassignment, the first of 18 newly assigned F-105 Thunderchief aircraft arrived at Hill AFB on September 24, 1972, for the 945th.

Shortly thereafter, on November 27, 1972, the last C-124 Globemaster assigned to the group departed Hill AFB. A few months later, the 945th inactivated. Concurrently, the AFRES constituted the 508th Tactical Fighter Group and activated the unit at Hill AFB. The new group received the F-105 aircraft which had briefly been assigned to the 945th. Three months later, AFRES inactivated the 508th on March 25, 1973, and in its place activated Detachment 508 of the 301 TFW in order to provide the wing’s organizational structure conformity with other units in the command. Subsequent requirements, however, necessitated the reactivation of the 508th Tactical Fighter Group on October 17, 1975, at which time Detachment 508, 301 TFW, inactivated.

On October 10, 1978, AFRES activated the 405th Combat Logistics Support Squadron at Hill AFB and assigned the unit to the 508 TFG. Prior to this, on October 1, 1977, the 508th lost three of its assigned squadrons: the 7th Supply Squadron, Mobile; the 7th Maintenance Squadron, Mobile; and the 5th Augmentation Squadron, Wendover Auxiliary Field.

The AFRES inactivated the 508th Tactical Fighter Group at Hill AFB on October 1, 1982, concurrently activating the 419th Tactical Fighter Wing. Despite the fact that the 419th Fighter Wing’s 466th Tactical Fighter Squadron continued to fly the F-105 until March 1984, the 508 TFG was the last unit assigned the F-105. In June 1983, the 419th TFW, assigned the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, began retiring the F-105s it inherited from the 508th TFG upon the unit’s inactivation.

Shortly before beginning this process, the 466th TFS flew a 24-ship “diamonds on diamonds” formation with the F-105 as a salute to the aircraft’s many contributions. The F-105 flew and fought in the skies of Southeast Asia during the conflict in Vietnam. On February 25, 1984, F-105 combat veterans reunited at Hill AFB and conducted the final F-105 missing man formation.

During this ceremony they dedicated aircraft 62-4347, the F-105 with the most air time, as a monument to those who served with F-105s and especially those who gave their lives while doing so. The last F-105 (aircraft 62-8287, an F model) departed Hill AFB on March 10, 1984, for Chanute AFB, Illinois, where it was put on display.

Tim's home in San Francisco

Based on his address, seen here:

Neighborhood:

20th Street is located in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. It is "serenely nestled in the middle of the Mission District". It is on the eastern side of San Francisco.

During the 1960s, Potrero Hill became a hub for many artists and members of the LGBT community. It was desirable for its location and affordable rent at the time. It was a thirteen minute bike ride from 20th Street to Castro-Mission Health Center.

Also, just some fun information: 20th Street is also a six minute car ride to San Francisco General Hospital. By foot, it's eighteen minutes. By bike, it's five minutes. I'll bet Jerome let Hawk borrow a bike so he could get there as fast as possible.

Congressional Districts:

From February 18, 1964 to January 3, 1975, his congressional district was the 5th district.

Then, due to redistricting in 1975, from January 3, 1975 to January 3, 1993, his congressional district was the 6th district.

During the 60s, 70s, and early 80s, his congressmen were brothers Phillip and John Burton. From 1983 and onward, his congresswoman was Barbara Boxer. All three of them were democrats.

State Senatorial Districts:

From January 2, 1967 to November 30, 1976, his senatorial district was the 9th district.

Due to redistricting in 1976, from December 6, 1976 to November 30, 1984, his senatorial district was the 5th district.

Due to redistricting again in 1984, from December 3, 1984 to November 30, 1996, his senatorial district was the 3rd district. His state senator was Milton Marks, who served as both a republican and democrat.

𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆.

August 21st 2023.

That was the day Calypso was set free.

Ever since, one question permeated through her mind. It refused to grant her sleep. It wouldn’t allow her peace. For every hour of every day, it ate away at her psyche. Would it be so bad if she never found out? Would she be selfish for avoiding an answer that might leave her grieving for the rest of her existence?

If her two children passed away without a mother, would she be able to forgive herself?

— December 28th, 2023 —

Celio had always been a brave boy. His mind was made up that he was going to be a hero. Calypso always tried to warn him of the horrors that ensued during war on account of living through the upheavals of World War II. A trench was no place for her son to live in. Celio used to hold her hand and say, when he grew up, he’d protect her from all the bad things in the world. It was only when he stood at her grave that he understood some things were bigger than him .. so he’d have to be the biggest. As an adolescent, he was dedicated to having muscles like Doug Hepburn and when he was called to fight for his country, he did, going as far as to lie about his age. Years in battle never broke his unwavering spirit, his burning passion to protect others which led to his eventual death during a raid.

Celio Morozova

1955 - 1975

Vietnam

That’s what his tombstone read. A simple gray slab in a sea of tombstones. Knees sinking into the grass beneath her, Calypso knelt by the grave with a pale hand covering her mouth. She couldn’t breathe. She felt sick. They didn’t even have the decency to add a photo of him. He was more than a name and war. That strong kid who’d climb furniture and play with bugs. The little boy that she blanketed in her arms at night, twiddling locks of his hair between her fingers as she consoled him from a nightmare, died somebody’s target? It was all wrong.

A mother should never weep by her son’s grave like this, wondering what his final moments were like. Her little hero needed protecting and it should’ve been her.

— February 5th, 2024 —

Celine was a timid little girl, always stood behind her brother in her doll-like dress with knees pointing inward as she played with the ruffles of her gown. However, when the needle hit her favourite vinyl, she blossomed into the most elegant dancer. Calypso had enrolled her for ballet classes, attending every show at the end of the month without fail — she sat in the audience with the biggest grin on her face.

A nursing home in Graz, Austria.

That’s where she resides.

There was a chance to ask for forgiveness, explain herself or even make up for lost time if she isn’t turned away at the door. Her little Celine-a Ballerina. Would she even remember that nickname? It didn’t matter. All that mattered was their future. However long that may be, they could go on walks or share an ice cream just like she did when Celine was a little girl. The flight felt like it lasted weeks, the knot in her stomach tightening with each hour passing. As she stood at the reception of the home with a bouquet of Scorpion Grasses, her heel tapped against the floor with anticipation. A nurse walks over with a soft smile, guiding the brunette into a room.

There sat her daughter, slightly hunched over with sunlight pouring through a window and against her wrinkled skin. There were multiple framed photos propped up by a mirror. One of Celine dancing, a poised smile across her face .. another of Celio in the army, a gun propped up atop his shoulder. In the center was a photo of the two of them, grinning and either side of their mother who was leaning down to meet the camera’s height. Their gazes lock as Calypso hesitantly approached, placing the bouquet on the table before carefully cupping Celine’s cheek in her palm.

A flinch.

Celine’s empty expression barely shifts as she leans away from Calypso’s touch and eyes clouded with confusion scan her face. A weak voice pointedly utters: “Who are you?”

There was a physical ache in her heart at the sight of the blankness that met her gaze. Calypso’s smile faltered as she stepped back to pick up the photo of the three of them. “It’s me, darling.” She cooed, placing the dusty frame onto her lap. “It’s.. your mother.” Vacant eyes were staring down at the photo, eyebrows furrowing in distress as she grew afraid of the strange woman’s presence.

Who is this woman? Why is she crying?

I’m afraid. I want my mother.

Where is Celio?

I’m calling for him but he isn’t answering.

After the nurse pries Calypso out of the room, she began to explain her daughter’s condition. Late stages of dementia? She was barely able to take in anything the nurse said as Celine cries for her brother behind the door. She had nearly forgotten everything, everyone that was important to her. Gently pushing the door with her hand, Calypso took another glance at her daughter from across the room. All she saw was a shell of the little girl that used to sing and twirl around in her bedroom in the morning. All the dreams of making up for lost time seemed to shatter in front of her completely. The apology she thought over in her head a million times during the flight—- Celine would never know or understand what happened to her mother.

— March 19th, 2024 —

Celine’s condition tore apart the fabric of their bond and left her without recognition or solace for the years of absence. It was too selfish for her to hide away, grieving the loss of her daughter despite the fact she was still alive. Returning to the home was a feat in itself but she refused to allow her little girl to remain alone in that room with the company of strangers.

Calypso stormed into the nursing home, walking past the reception and halting at the door that read Celine Morozova. Taking a moment to gather her composure, a thumb hesitantly traced the rim of the doorknob before she steps forward and enters the room. A large brown box was sitting atop her bed. It didn’t seem like she was in here. The brunette opts to check the box which was full of Celine’s belongings. A nurse slowly entered the room and offered Calypso a seat with a gentle voice.

“Miss Morozova, I’m afraid your daughter passed away shortly after your visit last month.”

She goes on to explain that without Calypso’s contact details, they couldn’t let her know sooner. Everything else, however, was entirely tuned out by a ringing in her ears and a sinking in her chest as trembling hands gripped onto the mattress beneath her. The thought of her little girl passing away without anyone by her side on this very bed made the ordeal weigh heavier on her shoulders. Tears well up and spill onto her dress as she shook her head in denial. How could she lose Celine twice? How could she be so thoughtless? Was she calling for her mother the same way she called for Celio during her visit?

All that’s left is a dusty box of old belongings and permanent guilt she’d carry in her conscience for as long as she lived—- for she had failed at being the mother those children needed not once, but twice.

How many full moons did Remus Lupin witness?

There is no better way to make yourself cry than joining the Marauders fandom. Its autumn (nearly), my summer depression is gone and in a week my exams are finally over. What a perfect moment to get back into my Marauders phase.

Before i proceed to write the most heartshattering and depressing fanfiction ever i keep myself busy with eliminating potential embarassing mistakes.

Therefore, here goes a breakdown on all full moons that Remus Lupin ever witnessed and experienced in his life.

Remus Lupin was born on 10th March 1960. He spent roughly 63-64 full moons as a non-werewolf.

He was bitten shortly before his 5th birthday (10th March 1965) by Fenrir Greyback. Based on this I am assuming that he was bitten on January 17th or February 16th 1965.

Following this, his first transformation was either the 16th February or the 17th March.

He lived through 80-81 full moons before he started Hogwarts.

Remus Lupin started Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1971 alongside the other Marauders, Lily Evans, etc.

The first full moon that he experienced at Hogwarts was the 5th of September 1971. The Whomping Willow was planted shortly before.

In 1971, one of his transformations fell on the 31st of December. This full moon started at 8:19pm meaning it took place over New Year.

In 1972, one of his transformations fell on the 30th of January which was Lily Evans' birthday and also a Blood Moon.

He spent 14-22 full moons at Hogwarts before the Marauders found out he was a werewolf.

In 1974, one of his transformations fell on the 1st of September which was the day that all students took the train to Hogwarts. Moonrise was at 8:25pm, how this was handled is unclear.

In 1974, one of his transformations fell on the 31st of October which is Halloween. Moonrise was at 1:20am meaning that this full moon took place in the night to Halloween.

In 1975, one of his transformations fell on the 27th of March which was James Potter's birthday.

During their fifth year, the Marauders managed to transform into animagi. Remus Lupin spent 27-37 full moons with the Marauders knowing he was a werewolf but without their company during full moons.

In 1977, one of his transformations fell on the 25th of December which is Christmas.

The Marauders graduated in late June or early July 1978. Remus' last transformation at Hogwarts took place on the 20th June 1978. He spent a total of 19-33 full moons in company of the Marauders (37 if you add the summer holidays).

During his seven years at Hogwarts, he spent 72 (assuming he never went home for holidays except for the summer holidays) to 85 full moons at Hogwarts (assuming that Dumbledore let him stay at Hogwarts during summer).

Such an exception to stay at Hogwarts had to be approved by the headmaster. Tom Riddle is a prominent example of a person that did not get an exception. Considering this it stays unclear if Remus was allowed to spend the summer holidays at Hogwarts. It was never mentioned somewhere.

The Wolfsbane Potion was invented in the second half of the 20th century, some time between 1978 and 1984. In 1984, it was described as "newly founded".

On Halloween 1981, the Potter's died. Sirius was arrested on 1st of November. Until then, Remus could have spent 41 full moons with the Marauders after graduation. The last full moon they spent together was the 13th October 1981.

In total, all four Marauders could have spend 60-78 full moons together.

The first full moon Remus spent alone was the 11th of November 1981.

Between 1985 and 1986, he received the Wolfsbane Potion from Chiara Lobosca a handful of times.

Between November 1981 and September 1993, he spent 146 full moons alone and outside of Hogwarts.

Sirius witnessed 145 full moons during his time in Azkaban between November 1981 and late July 1993.

In 1990, one of Remus' transformations fell on the 31st of December again. This again, was the fullmoon between the New Years Eve and New Year (moonrise was at 6:36pm).

In 1991, one of his transformations fell on Lily's Birthday again (30th of January).

In 1993, Remus Lupin became the DADA teacher at Hogwarts. The 1st of September 1993 was a full moon, meaning that if the train would have been delayed, it would have been a big fucking problem, right?

Actually, not. I have seen this being discussed on Reddit and would like to clarify this now. Moonrise on the 1st of September 1993 in Edinburgh (Scotland) was at 3:33am. This means that this fullmoon actually took place in the early morning of the 1st September (the night from August 31st to September 1st), not in the evening of September 1st. How he was functional already again is a riddle to me but appareantly he got his shit back together enough to take the train at 11am.

It is said that Snape replaced Remus during one DADA lesson "shortly after Halloween" 1993. Remus had a transformation on October 30 1993, one day before Halloween. This was a Saturday, meaning Halloween was a Sunday. This suggests that Snape taught the Third Years in DADA on Monday, the 1st of November in fifth period (DADA class took place on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays for the Third Years).

In 1994, one of his transformations fell on James' Birthday again (27th of March).

The transformation that is shown in Prisoner of Azkaban fell on the 23rd of June 1994. I am not entirely sure what the exact moment of transformation is bound to but it works for this transformation. Moonrise during June in Scotland is around 12:32am.

In total, Remus spent 11 full moons as a teacher at Hogwarts and with access to the Wolfsbane Potion.

Between July 1994 and June 1996, Remus and Sirius could have spent a total of 24 full moons together (not counting the one shown in PoA).

In total, they spent 84-102 full moons in eachothers company.

Sirius died on the 18th June 1996. The last full moon they spent together was the 1st June 1996.

In 1996, one of Remus' transformations fell on the 24th of December, 8:41pm.

Between June 1996 and April 1998, he spent 21 full moons alone.

Remus' last transformation took place on the 12th of April 1998.

He was killed in the Battle of Hogwarts on the 2nd May 1998. His next transformation would have taken place on the 11th May 1998.

In total, Remus Lupin experienced 472 full moons and 408-409 transformations in his entire life.

Bonus: 29 of these transformations took place during a Full Blood Moon which means nothing in canon but in my opinion, it has great potential for some fanfics.

The Tomorrow People Master Post

Previously on Cult TV Blog...

I did just a handful of posts on the 1970s children's series The Tomorrow People (you can see them here: https://culttvblog.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Tomorrow%20People?m=1). I also did this 'master post' about the series purely to try to get my head round it. Since I'm no longer blogging on blogspot I thought it would be useful (hopefully for others too) to copy the post here.

This 'master' post is therefore predominantly an attempt to get a grasp on the amorphous mass of the series in my own head and keep track of what I have already written about. One of the difficulties that have stopped me writing about this show is that it is basically a different show from beginning to end, and is at best patchy. Additionally as said above some of the things on the show would not appear in TV today and I can't begin to think what they were thinking. If I have some personal rude remarks to say about an episode which don't deserve a full post, I may put them here.

Another thing which has always confused me is that although I now have the complete set in one box, region 2 releases have taken two different trajectories, one released in series and the other released in adventures.

Series 1

Slaves of Jedikiah (five episodes) broadcast 30th April to 4th June 1973.

The Medusa Strain (four episodes) broadcast 11th June to 2nd July 1973.

The Vanishing Earth (four episodes) broadcast 9th to 30th July 1973.

Series 2

The Blue and The Green (four episodes) broadcast 4th February to 4th March 1974.

A Rift in Time (four episodes) broadcast 11th March to 1st April 1974

The Doomsday Men (four episodes) broadcast 8th April to 6th May 1974.

Series 3

Secret Weapon (four episodes) broadcast 26th February to 19th March 1975

Worlds Away (three episodes) broadcast 26th March to 9th April 1975.

A Man for Emily (three episodes) broadcast 16th to 30th April 1975.

Revenge of Jedikiah (three episodes, but with such a similar name no wonder I was confused) broadcast 7th to 21st May 1975.

Series 4

One Law (3 episodes) broadcast 21st October to 5th November 1975.

Into the Unknown (four episodes) broadcast 7th to 28th January 1976.

Series 5

The Dirtiest Business (two episodes) broadcast 28th February to 7th March 1977.

A Much Needed Holiday (two episodes) broadcast 14th to 21st March 1977. This is the one with the slave children and the Jimmy Savile impression. 😳

The Heart of Sogguth (two episodes) broadcast 28thMarch to 4th April 1977.

Series 6

The Lost Gods (two episodes) broadcast 15th to 22nd May 1978.

Hitler's Last Secret (two episodes) broadcast 5th to 12th June 1978.

The Thargon Menace (two episodes) broadcast 19th to 26th June 1978.

Series 7

Castle of Fear (two episodes) broadcast 9th to 16th October 1978.

Achilles Heel (two episodes) broadcast 23rd to 30th October 1978.

Living Skins (two episodes) broadcast 6th to 11th November 1978.

Series 8

War of the Empires (four episodes) broadcast 29th January to 19th February 1979.

The reason for my confusion will be readily evident from the names of the different adventures. Some have similar names and others have names similar to other series and fictional works, including H P Lovecraft. The show evidently gave itself an ability to venture into all sorts of subjects and times, real and fictional. Looking at the titles it comes across as a less orderly Dr Who. No wonder I'm confused!

Despicable Me AU - info (part 2)

In my AU Gru wasn't 11¾ years old during the "Minions: The Rise of Gru" movie - I moved his birthday to June;

Birth dates, zodiac signs and sexualities of canon/existing characters (note: some info is from wiki and some of it is by me - info from wiki is even a little changed, so it fits the timeline which I slightly changed):

Gru - 19th June 1964; Gemini = the Twins; heteroromantic gray-asexual 

Dru - 19th June 1964; Gemini = the Twins; homosexual 

Lucy - 8th March 1978; Pisces = the Fish; heterosexual 

Margo - 27th August 2002; Virgo = the Maiden; bisexual 

Edith - 13th January 2004; Capricorn = the Sea-Goat; aromantic asexual 

Agnes - 29th April 2007; Taurus = the Bull; heterosexual

Marlena - 6th February 1931; Aquarius = the Water-Bearer; heterosexual 

Dr. Nefario - 28th July 1931; Leo = the Lion; heterosexual 

Victor "Vector" - 15th February 1975; Aquarius = the Water-Bearer; heteroromantic asexual 

Mr. Perkins - 23rd December 1943; Capricorn = the Sea-Goat; heterosexual 

Eduardo - 29th July 1973; Leo = the Lion; demiromantic demisexual

Antonio - 3rd November 2001; Scorpio = the Scorpion; heterosexual 

Balthazar - 19th July 1973; Cancer = the Crab; pansexual 

Silas - 16th February 1946; Aquarius = the Water-Bearer; heterosexual 

Valerie - 26th March 1969; Aries = the Ram; aromantic asexual 

Scarlet - 1st August 1928; Leo = the Lion; heterosexual 

Herb - 2nd October 1927; Libra = the Scales; heterosexual 

Henry "Wild Knuckles" - 29th May 1902; Gemini = the Twins; heterosexual

Heights of canon/existing characters were added and/or changed (sorry, we're not using feet and inches in our country):

Gru - 186 cm

Dru - 188 cm

Lucy - 196 cm (190 cm without shoes)

Margo - 170 cm (currently; formerly 152 cm)

Edith - 165 cm (currently; formerly 127 cm)

Agnes - 160 cm (currently; formerly 108 cm)

Marlena - 158 cm

Dr. Nefario - 180 cm

Victor "Vector" - 178 cm

Mr. Perkins - 200 cm

Eduardo - 170 cm (formerly 187 cm)

Antonio - 155 cm

Balthazar - 195 cm

Silas - 193 cm

Valerie -  193 cm (187 cm without shoes)

Scarlet - 187 cm

Herb - 205 cm

Henry "Wild Knuckles" - 206 cm

Bob - 50 cm

Stuart - 59 cm

Chubby minions - 61 cm

Middle-height minions - 62 to 64 cm

Otto - 120 cm

Tall minions - 125 cm

Minions are actually very intelligent creatures but the male tribe has a tendency to hide it with their language  and with playful, childish and frolic behavior;

The female tribe doesn't hide intelligence, most of the minion girls is still playful and frolic, though - sometimes even more than the boys;

Some minions (in both tribes) are serious and less frolic, of course;

Balthazar has a daughter he never met - despite his megalomaniac personality, he had a girlfriend who he eventually left behind on his villainous way;

Her name was Roselle Moreau and she didn't tell Balthazar she's pregnant when he was leaving because she felt he wouldn't stay anyway;

Balthazar's daughter is named Colette Moreau, she's 21 years old (b. 5th October 2002; Libra = the Scales) and she's a shy and reserved yet very talented hobby dancer and a university student of Philosophy (Toronto university);

Colette doesn't know exactly who her father is/was because Roselle doesn't want to talk about him - she only told her daughter her father was a jerk and a criminal, so Collete isn't looking for him;

Fact: Balthazar is Canadian, was born there and was living there until the age of 11 - I made this headcanon because of how he spoke French in Despicable Me 3 without any problems. My first thoughts of why his French is so good were that he's either somebody who's good at learning languages or somebody whose native language is French (which appealed to me more) - however, I would expect him to have at least a slight French accent if he was meant to be from France (which is characteristic for one of my OCs of this AU). That's why I decided to put Balthazar in a country that has two official languages and one of them is French (so the accent doesn't have to be there) - I eventually chose Canada;

After 'Despicable Me 3", the male minion tribe divided - a bigger part of them ran away with Dru while the rest of the tribe, those who weren't willing to become villains again, stayed with Gru;

Mel (full name "Melvin" in my AU) is the actual alpha of the male minion tribe and the one who's in charge of Dru's group of minions;

Kevin, the second in charge, stayed with Gru and became an alpha of the smaller group of the minions at Gru's house - his reasons for it were simple: he developed slight PTSD after being in prison, he didn't feel any anger towards Gru anymore and was able to renew his loyalty and the most important, he himself wasn't interested in crime anymore and just wanted to have a nice and calm life;

A small chicken minion from "Minions: The Rise of Gru" is still alive - he lost almost all his feathers (except some feathers on his head and arms), his beak reformed into normal minion mouth, his teeth grew and even his arms and legs became more minion-like;

He also talks normally;

My headcanon: Stuart named his "child" Chico - it means "kid/boy" in Spanish and it also sounds like "chicken", a little. Chico is a complete opposite of his father: silent, shy, gentle, polite yet filled with energy. He stayed with Dave after Despicable Me 3 while Stuart ran away with Dru - Chico misses his dad but doesn't feel any anger towards him.

Fact: Minions can breed in my AU;

Mel is the oldest male minion and has seven younger brothers, (including Steve and Stuart, who's actually the youngest brother), as well as a big number of cousins;

This also means Chico is Mel's nephew;

Lucy left her relatives (those who are alive) because she wanted to take revenge on that villain who murdered her parents, grandparents and great-grandmother;

Her relatives didn't agree and one of them (Lucy's aunt, specifically) even got in an argument with Lucy, which ended up by Lucy leaving;

Lucy still feels guilty for leaving them behind and would be happy to meet them again, she doesn't have enough courage to return and fix the relationship with them, however;

Fact: Gru knows only a part of Lucy's past because she doesn't like to talk about it - he respects her and doesn't ask about it but he also told her if she ever needs to tell him, he will listen and help her;

Minions are almost immortal - they can't be injured by a lot of common things, they can't die of old age, however, there are some ways they can injure themselves and even ways they can die (for example beasts created by PX-41 serum can make them injuries they can't heal completely and they can even kill the minions);

Bonus fact!: Minions Mike and Ken (from "Panic in the Mailroom") survived the attack of three mutated kittens and currently lives with the female minion tribe;

They're covered with scars, one of Ken's eyes is missing, Mike is limping on his leg and they both also have PTSD, but otherwise they're doing pretty well;

Both Mike and Ken got married to two beautiful minion girls named Coco and Caroline "Carrie" - there are also some rumors among the female tribe saying Carrie might be pregnant;

POSSIBLE LONG POST INCOMING

I did the MC character sheet! Here are Lizzy and Jane Lady Florence and Lady Sophia Acer!

Florence and Sophia are identical twins, and were both born with Ancient Magic. They’re English.

With the power of both twins’ magic combined, the UK could be wiped off the map.

The girls unintentionally wear their hair similarly when going to classes.

The twins were both hatstalls: Sophia between Slytherin and Hufflepuff, and Florence between Ravenclaw and Slytherin

The Acer family is dizzyingly wealthy, having been prominent since the 11th century.

The Acer family has always been close to the Malfoy family, since they came to England together.

Florence:

Florence doesn’t take the big sip, but she studies Isidora’s methods to further her knowledge of Ancient Magic and improve Anne’s quality of life, if not completely curing her.

Florence is close to Poppy Sweeting, and becomes good friends with Imelda Reyes in 7th year.

Florence becomes something akin to a wizarding attorney instead of an auror, quickly rising through the ranks to become head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at 27. She maintains the position until the defeat of Gellert Grindlewald by her former schoolmate Albus Dumbledore in November 1945, after which she retires.

Florence had a huge crush on both Sirona Ryan and Sebastian in 5th year, only realizing the romantic nature of her feelings for Ms. Ryan years after the fact.

Florence and Sebastian marry in 1895 at 20, after a 4-year engagement.

Florence and Sebastian have four children, who take a hyphenated last name (Sallow-Acer).

By the time 3 generations pass, the family name returns to Acer, since Florence’s name is more famous due to her time at the Ministry and her history as the Hero of Hogwarts. (Sebastian supported his grandchildrens’ decision to give their children the Acer name, stating “I’m not the one with the chocolate frog card”)

Florence passes of old age in December 1995 at 120. Sebastian only lives another two months, dying of a broken heart in February 1996.

Due to the marriages of her descendants, Florence was an ancestor of some of 1990’s Prewetts, Ollivanders, and Blacks.

bonus: Florence’s betrothal portrait— specifically the miniature given to Sebastian

Sophia:

Having never wanted such huge fame or any fighting, Sophia tries to ignore the events of Ranrok conflict in the years following. Those who don’t know her think this is even cooler than what she did— being seemingly indifferent to her power and achievements.

Sophia’s closest friend is Amit Thakkar. They bond over their attention to astronomy, since both potions and herbology are impacted by the sky.

Sophia and Ominis elope, causing a bit of scandal.

They have only one child, a daughter born in 1897. Ominis insists that the surname “Gaunt” not be passed on to her.

Tired of the attention in England and not wanting to deal with Gaunts any longer, the family moves to Paris, France.

Sophia opens a potion shop in Paris, becoming a household name, as well as a legend in the potioneering community.

Despite her dislike of the fame that came from 1891, her career as a potioneer only makes her a bigger name. Sophia also gets a chocolate frog card.

In France, Sophia meets the Moureaux family, whose future half-veela granddaughter marries Sophia’s great-nephew in 1970.

Sophia outlives Ominis by 10 years, passing away in 1975 at 100, 5 years after her great-nephew Tom Riddle begins his reign of terror in the United Kingdom.

bonus: Sophia’s betrothal portrait, taken for her parents’ benefit.
