Now we move on to things where a crossover line would be the way to go.

Dungeons and Dragons has its own post.

The Thundercats Triumverate

This falls into both the "valid crossover lines" and "do it in that format" (upcoming) sections. But look, everyone wants the Thundercats and the MOTU people in the same size and format (and with good construction) Pot-luck your character selections from the three "Thunderverse" shows: Thundercats, Silverhawks, Tiger Sharks, so you don't get theme overload.

Ideally these would be a permanent fusion thing, but that's not gonna happen realistically.

The Hanna-Barbara Adventure-Verse

Now, this is a wacky one, but stay with me.

This stuff was all in the MOTU DNA, and the parts reuse options are actually pretty good. The majority of characters could be made with stock parts, and those that couldn't would have reuse potential anyhow. If nothing else you could sell a Space Ghost, Moltar, Brak and Modulok-y Zorak on the merits of double-nostalgia.

MOTU Vs Capcom

This would be a "Turtles of Grayskull" style mashup concept, with gear swaps, hybird characters, and reinterpretations across the board.

Your Capcom types are given a layer of barbarian lacquer and MOTU-esq accessories. A slapping-position fisto-fist for E Honda, thematically inappropriate swords and axes, Horde armor for the eviler Darkstalkers, etc. Battle Armor Ken Masters (fist shaped chest-dents), a larger-than-standard (in the Andre-the-Giant buck kind of way) Barbarian-queen Lady Dimitrescu (a mold that will be useful for a later Scorpia and other 'big gals')

Your MOTU guys get to cosplay as Street Fighters and Darkstalkers, etc. An Akuma-like 'Shin Skeletor', a He-Man in Guile/Charlie theme using chunks of the 'military he-man' prototype concept, Catra-by-way-of-Felicia, etc, Beast Man with blanka colors and electric accessory, that kind of thing.

The mashup/hybrid characters, however, are where it's really at. Mega-Man-at-Arms, Soulbinder (Spellbinder/Morrigan style succubus), Lord Scareglow (Scareglow/Lord Raptor), Radd-Blast (Radd Spencer/Rio-Blast), Mek-A-Dhalsim (MekaNek-Dhalism, uses the same arm-extension pieces as Radd-Blast), Dragon-of-Grayskull (Ryu He-Manized), Nemesis Horde (a Nemesis-ized Hordak),

Zangief is just Zangief with furry trunks.

Scooby-Doo

C'mon, everybody's doin' it...

Scooby-Doo has also crossed over with the WWE, so by the transitive property of ridiculousness, it is a viable match for MOTU.

Buff Barbarian Scooby Gang with gimmicks (Triclops for Velma with 'glasses' and 'no glasses', Jitsu-esq chopping hand-weapon for Daph, a 'friendly trap-jaw alt-head for Fred with some trap accessories, Shaggy's got a pizza shield and the power sword jabbed through a giant sandwich), Battlecat-Style Scooby with a mystery-machine themed saddle, some MOTU-ized baddies (Creeper, Ghost Clown, skeleton-men etc) and some hybrid-guys (Roboto-Charlie, Scareglow-Space Kook).

Next up, Stuff They Missed internally.

Guys I think should be in MOTU: Origins

My love of MOTU Origins is not very hidden, and they've hit tons of great points, but there's so much further to go. So, here's my rundown of what I'd want to see joint the MOTU Origins lineup.

Section 1: Give it the Sun-Man Treatment.

Blackstar

The proto-He-Man of yore, Blackstar as an IP is probably well within the price range for Mattel to sweep up to sprinkle into the line the same way Sun Man's universe was.

For advantages, it's VERY aesthetically compatible and has several strong character designs. It's no more obscure than Sun-Man, and I want hordes of those imp-demons, damnit.

BraveStarr

Again, a no-brainer. Find the character rights holders, get the rights. New Texas is out there in space, use it as an excuse to do MOTU:Origins versions of the New Adventures designs ("space travel" He-Man) and Rio-Blast. If they already own all the rights then them not having already done this is toyetic malpractice.

Advantages are obvious. BraveStarr rocks. You have a POC lead hero, Tex-Frickin'-Hex, and Thirty-Thirty, who would be well worth the extra tooling to make a deluxe figure of (you can always do an upgraded Stridor repaint). You would scatter them through waves to keep from overloading with the Space Cowboy thing, but def a winner.

Also, Rio-Blast. Rio-Blast, Yo.

Skeleton Warriors

It was never strong enough to stand on its own. Give Skeletor some friends. 'Nuff Said.

One-Off Guest Stars

This section is a little different, as these wouldn't be permanent integrations, but more fun crossover one-offs rather than being a whole theme. Characters pulled from other Mattel-owned lines of the past:

Mojo Ken and Thunderpunch Barb-E

Here's the thing. This line is dead stupid, and should remain that way. Give Ken two heads (one 'bad' Mojo head and one 80s toy Ken style one) give Barbie weirdly plausible MOTU gear, the joke alone is worth the parts reuse. Best if nestled in with some Princess of Power characters.

Lets give Captain Power a hand, folks.

Its that live action TV show that interacted with the vehicles that landed in the uncanny valley between family TV and advert-traintment that never quite works!

Captain Power and Lord Dread are pretty much the only ones you'd want to hit, maybe the Soaron Sky Sentry. And really, they're not that hard to do. Captain Power could easily be made with Roboto legs and upper arms, any number of gloved hands, a new chest armor and a new head.

Any newly tooled pieces would be useful in MOTU movie and new adventure characters.

The Construx Alien demands your respect.

I know it makes no sense, I don't care, it's my list. He's amazing and needs to be big and buff with a weird hand.

Major Matt Mason has nothing better to do.

This set's a stretch, as it would require a chunk of new tooling, but again, maybe worth it for the New Adventures and She-Ra applications, plus hey, Astronaut prequel Biff Bestman, Evelyn Powers, and Captain Marlena parts!

He-Man's space-man friend is a role that could still be filled.

Next Up... Crossover Potential.

The Skirvin: The US' Most Haunted Hotel?

— By Ross Kenneth Urken | 29th October 2021

(Image credit: Betty LaRue/Alamy)

The century-old hotel is rumoured to be haunted by an amorous Prohibition-era chambermaid.

In perhaps an ill-advised move, I booked a stay with my family at what may be the US' most haunted hotel – and one of its most notorious.

The Skirvin Hilton, the grande dame of Oklahoma City – a sort of Waldorf Astoria in America's Heartland – is an imposing 14-storey, Art Deco property from 1911 that's said to be haunted by Effie, a Prohibition-era chambermaid who jumped to her death with a love child fathered by hotel founder WB Skirvin. Such stories, like the tornadoes that plague the region, have swept through the hotel's English Gothic lobby into the city and beyond, most notably among visiting NBA basketball teams who have overnighted here before playing the Oklahoma City Thunder, only to experience inexplicable creaks, groans, cries and ghostly molestations.

"There's the spooky, sad Effie, and then there's the Effie that wants to get it on to Barry White music," said Steve Lackmeyer, co-author of the book Skirvin, as we sat at the hotel's Red Piano Bar. "And with the NBA it tends to be the latter. This is the most legendary ghost story in Oklahoma City, if not the entire state. You have even these famous people claiming they've had encounters with a horny Effie."

Lakers forward Metta Sandiford-Artest, formerly known as Ron Artest, claimed he was assaulted by an amorous ghost at the Skirvin in 2016. In 2010, Ed Curry, a seven foot, 295-pound centre for the New York Knicks, slinked off to spend most of his Skirvin stay in the room of 5'9, 180-pound teammate Nate Robinson for protection. Kyrie Irving, now with the Brooklyn Nets, has plans to star in a film about the Skirvin's hauntings.

"I don't think it's haunted," said Petra Germany, the hotel's current artist-in-residence who makes cosplay weapons and armour. "I think NBA players are just a bunch of sissies."

The words "HELP ME" have been known to appear on foggy bathroom mirrors

"People will tell us their lights will flicker at night or a closet door will slam unexpectedly or there will be a creaking door," said Don Jackson, the Skirvin's director of sales and marketing. "There are some haunted stories floating around out there about the hotel, but we prefer to stay away from them since they have never been proven to have happened."

I mentioned to Jackson that a guest I met who was attending a conference at the hotel claimed her colleague discovered the words "HELP ME" written in the post-shower mirror fog. He responded: "We've had recent reports that that verbiage may appear in the mirror."

Look closely and even some of the hotel's small details can seem rather creepy (Credit: Ross Kenneth Urken)

Effie aside, the hotel has a colourful past. Its first manager is said to have shot himself in 1913 – a suicide that was later investigated as a murder. A rigged roulette wheel and Prohibition hijinks fomented Wild West-style gun fights inside the place. But for hotel management, the legendary visitors of yesteryear – past guests include US presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan, as well as Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley – is the true ghostly inheritance the property bears.

"The history and grandeur of The Skirvin are palpable," said general manager Skip Harless. "It feels almost haunted by or heavy with the DNA of all those who have visited here and all that has happened in this special, majestic place."

"I'm a see-it-to-believe-it gal," said Kelsey Huber, the hotel's express meeting manager, during an elevator ride. Raised in a funeral home, she said she's seen no evidence of paranormal activity during her 10 years at the hotel beyond the costume-wearing Mary Kay conference attendees infiltrating the premises. "But never say never…" she added as the lift's bell chimed.

To get a more in-depth understanding of the hotel, I sought out Susan Riley, who, until recently, served as its in-house historian.

During Riley's six and a half years working at the hotel, she claimed she often heard a crying baby during her shifts, but later realised that when a side door was opened in blustery Oklahoma, it let in a banshee-like cry from the gust.

Climbing up to the 10th floor, we searched, to no avail, for a bullet hole supposedly lodged near the elevator bank in one of the many Wild West-style shootouts; while up on the 11th floor, a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door handle flapped strangely, perhaps from a draught beneath the door. Riley added that a woman in a red dress, not always detectable as a phantasm, is said to lurk in the halls.

"The acoustics are alive," she said, snapping her fingers, as we reached the Venetian Room, an ornate ballroom on the top floor. "This room has the most ghostly activity." She explained that she'd set up banquets here only to return the next morning to find tables and place settings inexplicably disorganised. She wondered whether it could be explained by a recent uptick in earthquakes instead.

Dr Bryan Farha, a professor and director of applied behavioural studies at Oklahoma City University and the author of Pseudoscience and Deception: The Smoke and Mirrors of Paranormal Claims, told me he surveyed the Skirvin in 2004 to search for ghosts.

My wife claimed she heard ghostly laughter some nights

"I walked every inch of every floor and found nothing of substance," he said. "And I did so under the creepiest of conditions – before the restoration, below freezing with the electricity shut off, so a flashlight was the only means of visibility most of the time. Still, nothing was found. Just an old, empty, cold hotel."

After my wife claimed she heard ghostly laughter some nights, Tanya McCoy, a ghost hunter who founded the Oklahoma Paranormal Association – which offers murder mystery dinners and ghost walks throughout the state – came by our room with her husband to investigate.

"You can just lay your hand on the wood downstairs and feel the energy," McCoy said. "It's crazy."

McCoy wielded her phone as she used the GhostTube SLS app to capture a green stick-figure outline sitting in the baby carriage, which was unoccupied to the naked eye. A spirit, she said, was sitting in our stroller. My daughter slept in the next room.

McCoy scrolled through her various apps with care, as she'd recently popped a tendon in her right pinkie after falling in The Raven's Gate, her occultist shop. "Possibly the result of a push from a demon," she said.

She ran through tools to monitor electromagnetic fields (EMF) and record electronic voice phenomena (EVP): a parascope to track static electricity, a device used by fire departments to find hot spots and an REM Pod and a Geo Pod (to track disembodied footsteps).

Stepping into the hall, McCoy had her husband pull up his Ghost Hunting Tools app that, he claimed, allows a spirit to attach itself to different frequencies and communicate intelligently in slow drips of language through a text box. She used her phone to scan the hallway for visuals.

It's a ghost

"Get out," read the words on the Ghost Hunting Tools app. A shiver ran down my spine.

We walked through the hallway on the hunt and felt a temperature shift. Could it have been a draught?

"It's a ghost," McCoy said – an adult one. She noted that she felt a shiver from the top of her head down and showed me the goosebumps on her arm as we moved towards the elevator bank.

The outline of a tall figure seated on the hotel's chairs appeared on the Ghost Hunting Tools screen (Credit: Betty LaRue/Alamy)

"Seat", appeared on the Ghost Hunting Tools screen. McCoy, using GhostTube SLS, showed the stick-figure outline of a tall figure seated on the jade-green chairs in front of the lift. McCoy said it was a man in his late 20s named Charles who was a contractor downtown pre-1950. She told me she felt a pain at the back of her head – often, she explained, ghosts will want to indicate to the living how they died.

Back down the hallway, we passed another cold spot in a slightly different location. I felt a shiver, and goosebumps again appeared on McCoy's arm. "It's coming from 813," she said, pointing to the door in front of us.

"Pen" appeared on the app. Lowering my pen from my notebook, I then became sufficiently uneasy and decided I'd had enough.

McCoy handed me a small perfume sample-sized glass container of protection potion – an olive oil base with a hodgepodge of herbs.

"Your own shield in a vial," she said.

That night, I kept a watchful vigil over my wife and daughter – the neon glow of the nightstand alarm clock throwing eerie shadows around our room as I stayed alert for signs of Charles and, yes, Effie.

@blackestnight asked: 🎀 and 🎮! for any of your gals!

( 🎀 will be answered separately)

🎮 to see my character in a cosplay of my choice

“The flames guttered around Abigail Pent. She looked terrified, uplifted, and openly astonished; she looked faraway, as though she were no longer even truly with them. Her spectacles had slipped off her nose, and in that blazing blue corona her eyes were dark and liquid and—feral. The House of the Fifth always skinned itself over with such airs of civilisation, with so many manners and niceties, but they were spirit-talkers, and speakers to the dead. And the dead were savage.”

For all of five minutes I was cussing Cyan out for giving me the goddamn cosplay option on the meme, and then I glanced at her blog and saw the Dulcie cosplay again and goblin brain sat up screaming GHOST MOM GHOST MOM GHOST MOM.

So: Synnove, as Abigail Pent, Heir to the House of the Fifth, Lady of the Koniortos Court, Speaker to the Dead, historian and most terrifying of giant fucking nerds, who is hands down one of my most absolute favorite characters in the whole of the Locked Tomb series.

SPOOKY TIMES ON THE GALAXY!  SUPER ARTICLE BY THE GALAXY GUIDE TO LOVING GIRLS

Hello to all my babies!  The galaxy is a big and scary place. But even then, there is no reason to forget about everything and just have a jolly good time! Halloween is an amazing holiday that everyone can take part of. Candies, parties, drinks and costumes! There's a little bit of fun for everyone. Today i bring you a few random tips about pretty much everything to do in these spooky times! Food, drinking, candies and of course; COSTUMES!

To everyone doing scary sith costumes. We recommend using some ink in old sheets for your cape, a  vest with a course for the chest and some scary coal looking makeup. That being said, we also recommend to stay away from a few particular costumes. Darth Malgus and Darth Maar are known dangers so be careful. If you are planning to do a slutty or sexy Emperor make sure there are no diehard supporters in your party! In the opposite spectrum, we highly suggest Cosplaying as Darth Vowrawn! Our friendly Dark Council member has put on a fun competition! Whoever has the best costume about him will get 10.000 credits worth of candies! Renditions like, sexy and slutty are their own category! So don't be afraid to go crazy. 

Next up, for our jedi followers. Master Satele Shan has asked us to keep the Slutty Satele Shan Costumes to a minimum! She is all aboard with the sexy ones but she has asked for people to protect her image a bit more. As for the rest of the Jedi Council ,as long as those with customers do not break any rules or laws, they have given their blessing for people to use their image! Hurray! 

To all our girls planning a happy halloween with their sneaky smuggler family, we recomend Corellia Sweet Rancors, Tatooine Sour Worms and the usual Bantha Chocolate for everyone planning to drink themselves stupid. We know smuggling parties are 90% drinks and games so these sweets are good to keep around as they will keep most alcohol in your belly instead of on the floor. As always, both empire and republic officials have tasked us with remembering everyone that alcohol and blasters or ships are a bad combination! Be responsible people!

Moving on to our amazing and beefy mando’s, if you have landed yourself a mando GF, we recommend going all the way with candy shopping. Mandalorians have taken a liking to dressing up in scary beast costumes or even just go and kill one and wear their pelts. They are the most fearsome candy predators in the galaxy, so you better be ready to see them going all the way with costumes and candy hunting. Of course, in true mando fashion, whoever gets the most candies will get an amazing prize! This year the price has been provided by none other than Mandalore The Avenger! She has put together a 20 feet statue of a Rancor! 

For everyone else having a happy time planning parties, we have come up with some extra ideas for you to decorate around. Of course, many of these ideas are from our Sith Gals, as they are the queens of scary things. The top ideas of this year are, Rakghoul holograms on top of astromech droids to make them look even more scary, old hologram displays are perfect to make the appearance of a scary sith ghost and last but not least, we recommend big and loud speakers to play the top scariest laughs and screams from the former sith emperor! Nothing like seeing someone run for their lives over some fun scary prank!

Ayesha Liveblogs Cardcaptor Sakura S2-S3

“If you had called me, I would have fixed it for you” Get u a man who wants to fix ur bike’s flat tires

“I wonder which teacher will be in charge of us this year” I’m going to hazard a guess that it’s the one that you keep having prophetic dreams about battling in the moonlight

“Ms. Mizuki is kind, is pretty and she makes me all dreamy” lmao @ this criteria for justifying whether ur sensei is up to no good

U know, Sakura melting like 10 feet of snow bc she lost a present from her crush is exactly the type of emotions I expect from these preteens

Syaoran liking Sakura is also very funny because she’s very observant of other people so it’s like [Syaoran blushing and glancing at Sakura] [Sakura glancing back in befuddlement]

“But when you do, it means you’ll see him as well” WILL U STOP THIS OMINOUS MOONSHADOWING 

Does EVERYTHING Mizuki says have to be some kind of prophecy

Syaoran is really just becoming progressively more infatuated and embarrassed with every scene

“You’re always watching over Sakura, aren’t you?” Tomoyo doesn’t need a voice to call people out LOL

You see this is exactly my point what is the reason for having a voice card if you have a song card or vice versa what’s your logic Clow

LMAO I SHOULD’VE KNOWN:

Sakura: Why r u both here

Toya: It’s Take Your Boyfriend to Work Day

“Sakura is cheerful as usual today” “That’s all she has going for her” Very older brother kind of statement

That shot of Syaoran showing his strawberries to Yukito (and Sakura, by extension) cutting to Toya, cutting to Ms. Mizuki.... the interpersonal dynamics at play here

“You know her from before, right?” THAT’S ONE WAY TO PUT IT

**Go to jail Mizuki

“I’ll tell you in a little while” Toya is not prepared to have discussion about his Relationship History at this time

I mean I’m not an expert but isn’t Sakura’s main magical item a key wouldn’t that help with this Lock situation

YFDHSKHFKJSHFK Mizuki could you be more threatening

I assume the wind will cover up the noise of this loud magical chant

“Don’t tell dad I have a fever” 😭😭😭😭😭 Sakura you’re so little someone needs to take care of you

“If I do [stay home], I’ll trouble everyone else” SAKURAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“It was about Sakura” TOYA’S BIG BROTHER MODE ACTIVATED

LOL TOYA’S SUSPICIOUS GLANCES ARE EVERYTHING JHDJKHFKJ HE CAN SENSE THE “GHOST” IN KERO

Well if the living plush toy didn’t give it away, the fact that Toya has already met and identified Mirror as a ghost will

Ddfhjkdhfkj Toya didn’t even pause he was just like [Sigh] ‘Guess I’m gonna feed a ghost now’

“I have a vague idea of what she’s up to” OH MY GOD TOYAAAAAA

Awww Meilin holding Sakura up to capture the Clow Card you know what that is? Growth

This kind of domestic shopping nonsense is the shenanigans I NEED

Syaoran is physically winded from running away from his feelings

OMG STOP THESE PRE-TEEN DREAMS ARE SO CORNY AND GREAT LMAO @ SYAORAN FANTASIZING ABOUT HIM AND SAKURA BEING THE LEADS IN A MOVIE TOGETHER WITH HIM GIVING THE CLOW CARDS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR A WEDDING RING

Gljlgkdjlkgjlkf I still cannot believe they let 11-year-olds roam this freely they don’t need an adult to BOARD A TRAIN??

“They’re foretelling dreams” So if we believe this, here are the future facts:

1. Sakura’s gonna do a fashion show for Tomoyo 

2. Syaoran is going to give Sakura all the Clow Cards and maybe propose 

3. Yukito and Toya will definitely know Kero is a living creature and they’re gonna be chill with it

4. Normal battle prophecy stuff

“Seeing Ms. Mizuki... it makes me all dreamy”

*Sakura really only crushes on people that her older brother had feelings for first this is like when I was into Yugioh and Beyblade bc my brother was into them first 

**Go to jail Mizuki

“I don’t want to be the prince” Will u want to if it’s u and Sakura tho

This was pointed foreshadowing I could not have predicted

[Chanting] ALL DRAG FAIRSTYLES ALWAYS

“I just woke up” u LIAR Toya you wanted to make your baby sister breakfast

SYAORAN WHERE WERE YOU EVEN KEEPING THAT BIG OLE MAGICAL SWORD TASSLE

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS TEAMWORK COMBO ATTACK WE LOVE A PARTNERSHIP OF POWERS

“Isn’t that a guy playing the Queen” are you in any place to make a judgment Toya

“Please, seal us together” Light and Dark confirmed as Lesbian Icons

“The final decision rests with Yue, but please do your best” LMAO IS THE REASON THAT YUKITO IS ALWAYS CHILL HANGING OUT WITH HIS FIFTH GRADE BEST FRIENDS IS THAT HE IS SCOUTING THEM OUT FOR YUKITO’S NEXT DRAG SUPERHERO

U know if I did not have very hazy memories of who Yue is I could be tricked into thinking it was Mizuki lol (but then again TSUKIshiro soooooo maybe it’s obvious always lol)

“That bath sponge” “Kero is at Tomoyo’s house” ‘BATHSPONGE’ MEILIN PLS

AW rescuing lost birds turns out Syaoran has always been a sweetheart

Meilin finally gets to use her martial arts skills and help again!! Good for her

“I’m your fiancee until you find the girl you like the most” Not to put a damper on ur cousin marriage dream (stop) but that ship has sailed twice over Meilin 

“There’s another person” WELL WELL WELL HOW THE TURN TABLES MOON MAN

“Being with you is rather useful when capturing Clow Cards” is Syaoran’s way of saying “<3 <3 <3″

Syaoran is really conflicted bc he likes Yukito and he likes Sakura but when Sakura likes Yukito he wants her to like him instead this is truly a broad range of emotions for Fifth Grade Romance

Ddfjhdskfhk Kero looks so serious scouting out the intentions of the Toya’s Magical Exes Club but his face is like “>:[”

“You’re the one that uses the powers of the moon” What does this MEAN that’s supposed to be Yukito???? I am confused

“There’s no such thing as a coincidence...” “...There’s only inevitability” So now Toya’s joining the prophecy game? This is A Lot

Omg I do love the big lion version of Kero I forgot what he looked like

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BIIIIIIIIIIIITCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Too lenient as always” “And your personality is as bad as always” I don’t think I care for Magical Yukito he’s being a little harsh

“He completely cuts all ties between his disguise and his consciousness, so that the candidate doesn’t sense him until the Last Judgment” so his subconscious just happened to feel like being a 17-year-old boy who wanted to date Sakura’s brother LOL

DON’T BE A BITCH YUE YOU’RE FIGHTING AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD WHO PERCEIVES YOU AS SOMEONE SHE CARES ABOUT

Oh my god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DON’T WANT ANYONE TO FORGET WHO THEY LOVE

This is so fucked up kjhgkfhdg Sakura’s family forgetting her mother, Sakura and Toya forgetting Yukito, Tomoyo forgetting about caring about Sakura, Syaoran forgetting about caring about Sakura ahhhhhhhhhhh

WELL WELL WELL MS. MIZUKI CAME THRU THANKS WEIRDO

**Still jail tho

OH SHIT NEW MAGICAL STAFF I LOVE THIS AHHHHHHHHH

“I want you to be friends with me, nothing like Masters or stuff like that” SAKURAAAAAA

“You knew that Mr. Tsukishiro wasn’t a human” “Yeah” TOYA WHAT!!!

The fact that Yukito doesn’t know his other half is kind of a bitch has very Yami Bakura energy I can’t believe what I needed in my life was Yugioh but less Heterosexual

iii

“If you leave that early, Yuki won’t be there yet” So... is Toya just chill with the fact his boyfriend is the moon

I don’t want Syaoran to leave!!! He is a sweetheart and I love him

“He seems like a nice boy” is thiiis the rude boy I remember from watching this when I was a kid bc ngl I was confused when Syaoran was nice bc I remember someone being a little shit

“I didn’t mean to surprise you” said Eriol, after popping out suddenly from behind a tree

Syaoran said ‘I will only share Sakura’s affection with one (1) boy and that is Yukito’ 

“I’m not going back. I’ll be here for a while.” I can’t tell if this is a New Magical Person thing or a ‘I love my friends and don’t want them to forget me’ thing

DHJKGHKJHG this random girl just clinging to Toya’s back and eyeing Yukito like “WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT MISTER”

I guess since Meilin’s gone Nakuru’s going to fulfill the role of Unrequited Crush Gal Who Cannot Read The Emotional Room

Clow Reed really appearing to just throw Sakura’s entire life in disarray

“This is the first chance to film you in a while!” Tomoyo you have filmed Sakura going strawberry-picking and playing whack-a-mole since when do u need an excuse lmao

“I don’t think we made plans like that” again Toya since when do u and Yukito need plans aren’t you together like 22/7

Syaoran refuses to show Sakura that he’s feeling anything beyond blushing and yet he gets mad when other people are more forthright with their emotions and honestly what a teen mood

“I.. you” rude I can’t tell if Nakuru interrupted a love confession or a I Know You’re the Moon confession but either way rude 

“You don’t know? Then I’ll take him” WHAT DO U MEAANNN THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS

“Eriol is a kind person” [Thor meme voice] Is he though?

As much as the jury is still out on Yue I really do love these magical girl transformations

These group meet ups have gotten even less subtle you might be able to hide some cosplay and a plush toy but a full grown man and a lion with wings??? Gjkghkjdhgk how did they get to Penguin Park with no one noticing

There is some satisfaction in there finally being an adult (or at least a kind-of-18-year-old) on their team

Oh my god??? OH MY GOD? WHAT A POWER-UP I LOVE IT SAKURA GETTING HER OWN CHANTS AND CARDS GOOD FOR HERRRR

Poor Toya it’s worrisome when ur baby sis is a magical superhero

It’s interesting and hilarious that Yukito’s appetite is proportional to his alter ego’s use of magic

“Because she’s like you” Toya IS trying to tell Yuki that he’s a moon person awwwwwwww

If we’ve learned anything from Tomoyo’s choir recitals it’s just that perhaps singing is more dangerous than any of these kids would prefer it to be

Nakuru aside from the fact I’m pretty sure you’re a new Big Bad leave Toya alone he doesn’t want to be touched and he’s with someone already

I like that no matter how many times Yamazaki lies, Sakura always takes it in good faith

I have given up on this show having anyone have a normal relationship with their teacher (except Wei who has done nothing wrong ever in his life)

“I’m sure that the person you like is happy” shout-out to Tomoyo for being semi-well-adjusted I guess 

“The kid is being controlled by something” GUESS WHO JUST BOUGHT STRINGS FOR PUPPETS IT’S SUSPICIOUS NEW KID 

If I know my shojo manga tropes it seems like this Friend vs. Friend battle is going to lead to a Hug of Passionate Restraint

Psych it was a Hug of We Are Tired From Magical Force

Who are you British Bitch Boy with your Bitch Cat haven’t they been through enough

“I’m surprised you’ve held out this long without a single bite” do NOT eat TOYA

“And I’m not a human in the first place, so gender doesn’t really matter” I am so tired of anime creating non-binary characters only to make them evil and/or inhuman blah

I DON’T CARE FOR ANY OF THIS WE DON’T NEEEED AN EVIL ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD AND AN EVIL KERO AND AN EVIL YUE NOBODY ASKED

“Why did I buy this thing anyway” u know why Syaoran 

LMAO YUKITO DRINKING OUT OF A FULL SIZE MILK CARTON KILLS ME

“The only times I turn red or feel like my heart will explode is when I see him” Incredible it has taken Syaoran like... 18 episodes to realize his feelings for Sakura. Bisexuality be like that sometimes

SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM DID YUE COME OUT JUST TO GIVE SYAORAN BACK HIS TEDDY BEAR

“The reason why you are confused when you see Yukito is because of the magic powers from the Moon that you feel from Yukito” did Yue just say ‘ur not bi ur just confused’ kjhkjdhdgkj Yue confirmed for biphobic

Really how many things does Eriol have to ruin before Sakura realizes he’s evil? The piano.... thread... a teddy bear

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG SAKURA HAS WINGS IT’S A REAL MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION AFTER ALL

You know if Elementary School Clow is NOT evil this is a really fucked up way to be teaching a lesson

Toya come help ur boy Yukito is exhausted and he doesn’t know why :(

Ahhhhhhhh this tree leaning scene is the exact and only thing I remembered about the interactions between these two before watching this now

“I don’t want you to disappear” THE ROMANCE RETURNS

“Are you doing this on purpose” Toya has had it up to here with his confessions being interrupted

BOOO Toya was right I don’t want Yue-kito to disappear either

“There is someone suited to this, but Yukito...” KJHGKJDHGJHDKJ IS TOYA GONNA BECOME THE SOURCE OF YUE’S MAGICAL POWER I’D DIE

“You knew this would happen if you called Tomoyo” I mean... Kero’s right

I don’t know that Erase in particular was necessary for the sheep but it does make me giggle to see Sakura lift playground structures

I was gonna say I’d wager ten dollars something happens to that bike after Eriol touches it but then I remembered this episode is called “Sakura and the Panicky Bike” so it’s not really even worth betting

Of course your family members are going to worry if you suddenly develop magical narcolepsy Sakura 

I LOVE that Toya’s magical powers seem to be developing more as well

I feel like not enough people are giving Sakura credit for the fact she is like 11? She hasn’t had a lot of time to work on this stuff

“I can’t let [the cards becoming ordinary] happen! I finally got to be friends with all of them” 😭😭😭😭😭 Sakura’s good heart always gets me

“What are you going to do?” SHE’S GONNA PUT HERSELF IN A MAGICAL COMA 

Cell phones are a hilarious addition to the plot and I love that they are like top of the line bc it’s the 90s lmao and that Li is include in the phone tree 

“If you collapse, I’ll catch you” KERO NO. 1 SAKURA STAN (tied with Tomoyo and Syaoran)

Lmao these siblings would be born on a Leap Day and April Fool’s respectively

SCREAM at least it’s on brand for Eriol to be a pathological liar (also RIP Sakura and Syaoran for their gullibility still)

TOYA PLAYING HIS MOTHER’S SONG REST IN PIECES MY HEART

Sdkhkhkjdhkd Toya failed confession count: 4 this time feat emotional piano ballad

Also also I will say it’s not like Yuki doesn’t come to your house VERY frequently Toya couldn’t you just tell him what you need to say the numerous times he is visiting or going with you to school

Oh hey! I share a birthday with Sakura’s great-grandfather that’s funny

“Nadeshiko was only 16 years old” YEAH SO WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING GRANDPA UR NOT THE ONE TRYING TO DATE TEENS U R TEACHING

I know Kero being seen on the TV is for giggles but the implication that magic makes you playable on VCR... incredible

I want to know what Toya’s gift was!!! 

Hahaha I guess that the Alice and Wonderland size-shifting would have more of an impact on Sakura’s empathy than most people 

“Two-thirds of all cats on earth right now are aliens” I mean... if we go by the cats we have met in this show.... Yamazaki’s right

“Actually, I have a rather mischievous personality” NO KIDDING ERIOL

“Where are you going” “To where the queen is” I will DIE if the Queen is Toya but I assume the Queen of Hearts will be Sakura’s mother actually since that’s the kind of anime trope that u should expect

Yue dropping Sakura like a hot potato is a little funny he can stay 

What is more ridiculous Syaoran hiding the sword behind his back or the fact it worked

“Then... it’s not Yukito?” that was one whole crush ago keep up Sakura

“I am the Queen” WELL THAT’S NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING AT ALL KJFHGKJHGJHGJKFHG

Current list of things that Eriol has ruined: Pianos, threads, teddy bears, sheep plushies, bikes, leaves, 

The transition to Eriol’s deep adult voice always trips me up

“Don’t hug me” “I’m going to hug you” Respect! Toya’s! Boundaries! Nakuru!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL @ Spinel’s drunken tirades I won’t lie I love this erratic behaviour

Guess Syaoran is over his Yukito crush for real but boy cannot stop running away from his feelings for Sakura poor guy

AWWWW THIS TEDDY BEAR MONTAGE OF SYAORAN BEING AT PEACE WITH HOW HE FEELS NOW

LMAO DID ERIOL JUST TRAP THESE TWO IN AN ELEVATOR TO WORK OUT THEIR INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS THIS SHOW IS IN SUCH A WEIRD EMOTIONAL PLACE

“I’m glad for you,” said Eriol/Clow, who has repeatedly mildly traumatized these kids but seems to be like ‘it all evens out if I do some preteen matchmaking’

“Hey, can I call you Syaoran too?” Awwwwwwwwwwww that’s cute also it’s wild that in the pacing of this show despite like probably at least thirty episodes of them being friends THIS is the first ep (Ep 57!!!) that they address each other by first name

HJGJHGDHGFHJG AMAZING HOW IS SAKURA GOING TO HIDE A FULL GROWN MAN (WHO SHARES A BODY WITH THE PERSONALITY HER BROTHER LIKES!) AND A WINGED LION IN HER BEDROOM

OHJFKJSDHFKJSHDKJFHKJHFKJHKJHDKJHF I CANNOT CONVEY THE COMEDY OF THIS MOMENT IN WORDS SO:

“So that even if [my dad] was reincarnated, he would still fall in love with [my mom]” Interesting reveal that Yue was actually in love with Clow (makes sense; he’s the ‘I’m gay I’m homophobic we exist’ meme) but the only romance I will accept for Yue is if he ends up in a Greedlingfan-esque triad with Yukito and Toya and that’s that on that

Poor Yukito he must think he’s going nuts he just appears places with no memories 

Well this is hardly a fair match up Syaoran can’t be expected compete with a reincarnated ancient wizard

GOOOOOD WHY DOES ERIOL DELIVER HIS CRYPTIC MESSAGES OF ADVICE THROUGH SPORTS GAMES

“It feels more like [Eriol] is watching over someone very dear to him” Tomoyo correctly discerns that Eriol is the bearer of fucked up magic lessons

Wow Tomoyo is really here to talk Syaoran through a whole journey of emotions 

“I.. you...” OH MY GOD SYAORAN AND TOYA START THEIR CONFESSIONS IN THE SAME WAY JHHJSGFDSGJH WOW 

It’s okay Syaoran you did your best no one in your immediate social group can finish a confession it seems

“You were trying so hard so hard to confess your love for Sakura last night” Tomoyo really doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to her romantic pep talks huh

Awww Syaoran wants to tell Meilin how he feels about Sakura first 

Uh oh post-battle Meilin has taken note of Syaoran and Sakura’s use of each other’s first names

“If something happens, please think of me” AWWW Tomoyo looking out for Meilin’s feelings that’s my girl

“What makes me even madder is that I still can’t grow to hate Ms. Kinomoto” awww Meilin  

“You’re a tardy little monster” suspicious Toya is one of the best parts of this show   

The fact that Sakura doesn’t think Toya knows because he’s not making fun of her... tru sibling energy

Failed confession count: 

Toya: 5...6

Syaoran: 2

TOYA IS SUCH A SWEETHEART BUYING PRESENTS FOR THE CARD THAT PROTECTS SAKURA AHHHHHHHHH AND OMG HOW DOES HE KNOW WHAT MIRROR LOOKS LIKE

Sakura loves the cards and the cards love her I love one (1) Cardcaptor

“But now, he helps me out a lot” “That’s why I don’t like him” AWWW TOYA 

“I will see you again in your dreams tonight” could you be a bit less creepy Eriol

OH NO CURSE OF THE DISAPPEARING BOYFRIEND TOYA YOU GOTTA HUG THE MAGIC BACK INTO YUKI

Tomoyo is an impeccable wingman for Syaoran she has had his back at every step

WE LOVE A POOL PARTY EP YEEHAW 

"I don’t ever want you to disappear” Toya’s declarations are getting more passionate with each failed confession (also I see that when he grabs Yuki’s wrist he stops fading)

“If you use magic in here, you don’t know who might see you” so they’ll notice her hiding behind a half rock wall but somehow a glowing waterslide will escape their notice???

“If Sakura had used her card any later than when she did, you were going to stop your magic” I feel like that is the LEAST Eriol could do

“Do you dislike swimming now” OH HOW NICE TO CHECK IN WITH RIKA AFTER YOU ALMOST DROWN HER

“You’re just lacking experience now. I’m sure that you will be able to do it. Skiing... and other things.” “You said that before! What does that MEAN” Syaoran is tired of Eriol’s Cryptic Sports Advice too

Dghgfjdgfjhg Sakura crossing herself in preparation for hearing a scary story lmao

Current failed confession counts:

Toya: 7

Syaoran: 3

Eriol confirms he will not kill preteens in an avalanche just to teach them magic I guess they had to draw the line somewhere

“I know the truth... that in reality you are...” Does it count as a failed confession if it’s for a scene?? Also are they the leads of this student film bc if so wow

“I know what’s really going on. That you are...” Well we’re definitely up to 8 now

:(((((((((((( It really hurts Toya to see Yukito like this SAVE HIIIIIIIIM

“At this rate, Toya’s important thing will be taken away” like what his love virginity LMAO

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT’S HAPPENING THE FACE TOUCHING THE REVEAL HFDUHFKJHFJDHFKJHDJGHJKHGJHG

“If I don’t see you, I can’t give you what I want to give you” a kiss?? LOL

“I want you to protect Sakura, and also protect yourself” OH OH OH 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TOYA YOU’RE SO SELF-SACRIFICING THIS IS SO SWEET U WANT TO PROTECT UR SISTER AND THE LOVE OF UR LIFE SO UR GIVING UP SOMETHING THAT’S A PART OF YOU THE MELANCHOLY THE INTIMACY I’M WEEPING

“It’s obvious that you, a child, can’t support all of it” Ahhhhhhhhhh so many reveals at once poor Sakura, Toya was only helping

In truth I did not think the power exchange would happen all at once I thought it would be like recurring boyfriend whack-a-mole:

Yukito, sleepy: I’m off to battle

Toya: K bye Yuki [intimate embrace]

Yue: [Catches sleepy Toya]

“I want Yukito to know my true feelings” I mean I’m gonna tell you right now Sakura I think he’s in love with your brother and also you’re like 11 but u do u I guess

“It doesn’t matter what you are. As long as you don’t disappear and are at my side, I don’t care about anything else” Toya ur so romantic

“I’m all right. Just a little sleepy.” Oh how the narcolepsy turntables.....

I know all I want to talk about is Toya right now but he is so PATIENT and GENTLE with his sister’s feelings god

“But the person that you like the most isn’t me, Sakura” why do both halves of Yukito feel the need to moonsplain people’s feelings to them jkhfgkjjhfjhfjkh

HAHAHAH I was wondering how Yuki was going to handle this preteen love confession and he just went ‘No. Family-zoned.’

“You realized this because you have someone you like the most as well, Yukito?” 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

“Is it my big brother?” “Yeah, it is” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Though I think that Toya is my number one, I’m not sure of his feelings” HE GAVE UP HIS MAGICAL POWERS FOR YOU TO BE AROUND HIM FOREVER YUKITO HOW MUCH MORE REASSURANCE DO YOU NEED

Omg the vowing to yell at each other’s future boyfriends khkdhfkdhfs I love this friendship good for them 

Eriol really DOES trap people in enclosed spaces to work out their interpersonal problems this reincarnated 11-year-old relationship therapist my god

“But if I cry or make a sad face, I’m sure Yukito would be troubled” poor sad Sakura but also I’m kind of glad she didn’t abide by Yukito like... telling her how she felt? It would’ve felt a little insincere to walk ALL of it back but I think she was mostly doing it so Yukito and Toya could be together in peace

“It’s all right. I’m sure you will find him” SYAORAAAAAAAAAAANNN

Awww Syaoran is so happy about this Grand Gesture scarf <33333333

“I knew that Sakura’s feelings for me weren’t completely the same as her feelings for her father... But I can’t delay her finding her true number one because of her feelings towards me” no shit Yuki but also maybe it was an okay call it gave Sakura a simple out

Toya’s gentle head touch as he gives Yukito reassurance aaaaaah

“He’s going to steal away something that I’ve been cherishing all this time” this is Toya’s weird way of saying he gives Syaoran and Sakura his blessing lol (lot of these blessing going around lately)

Toya’s love language is touching Yuki somewhere from the shoulders up

“I feel like he’s still alive and he’ll come to make fun of us at any moment” ur not wrong Kero

“But I’m still not you, Mr. Clow” U JUST BE URSELF SAKURA!!

What we have learned from this trip to the past so far is that Mr. Clow has always loved to give people cryptic messages and then disappear

I DID NOT EXPECT A MONTAGE OF BLOOMING FLOWERS TO BE WHAT MADE ME SHED A TEAR IN THIS ANIME BUT THE SYMBOLISM - CLOW’S WORDS - SAKURA UR SO GOOD THIS IS A NICE SHOW

“It’s Clow Reed’s fault,” said Clow Reed, eleven years old, about himself

“Why did he have to trouble Sakura so much?!” Kero said FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH CLOW REED SAKURA IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND

I appreciate that Yue was like, ‘Gotta bring Toya with me to the battle I can’t just leave him in the street’ 

Sidenote: What made them start running in the first place was it the loss of light or was it just Yukito/Yue going ‘MY SAKURA SENSES ARE TINGLING’

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FINAL BATTLE KERO VS. SPINNEL, YUE VS. RUBY MOON, SAKURA VS. CLOW???

OH SHIT TRANSFORMING EIGHT CARDS AT ONCE WHAT A POWER UP 

Make that six cards but STILL

“Light and Dark are the first cards under our jurisdiction” I AM RIVETED 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

SCREAM THE TEAM SUN MOON STARS GROUP HUG MY CHEST WILL BURST

OH FINAL WAND!!!!!!!!! MAGICAL FRIENDS EDITION

SYAORAN HELPING HER TRANSFORM THE CARDS TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK

“We are friends with you, right Sakura?” KEROOOOOOOO YUEEEEEEEEE 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

“I like you” [Cut to classroom] Oh awkward seems like Sakura kind of verbally left Syaoran on read for that one

“Wouldn’t conversation be more pleasant when there are tasty sweets around” Sdfhkjshfkjshfkj unbelievable Eriol-Clow wants to have his final words of wisdom delivered via tea party

“There were a couple of things that happened that weren’t expected by myself or Clow Reed” LOL he means Syaoran and Sakura and also probably Yukito and Toya jhjhdfjkh fair it’s just the never-ending charisma of these siblings 

Oh hey Ms. Mizuki what are you doing at this weird tea party (go to jail)

If Mizuki was in college when she met him he was what???? A baby??? How old ARE you Eriol

“You’re not going inside, Yue?” I was WONDERING why Yue wasn’t part of this ridiculous gathering lmao

“But I can talk of old memories... If it suits your fancy, I will talk whenever you want me to” Ahh Eriol trying to provide Yue some closure 😬

WOW ERIOL EXPLICITLY EXPLAINING THAT HE DID NOT EXPECT THE ROMANTIC DYNAMICS AT PLAY JDHJHFDGHKDHGKHDKFJ 

Omggg Sakura created a new card for Syaoran ahhhh they’re really very cute

“That bear... Can I have it?” The way these confessions were written is really VERY GOOD

What a WEIRD SHOW but u know it did something to my heart 

[oleanderblume]

This is a very odd request and I hope it doesn't sound as awful as it does in my head but I am an author, im writing a book series that centers around a trans kid (which I have covered lol, cause i am trans) but the other prominent characters in the book are a girl named Cassidy and a guy named Douglass.

Cassidy is black, and has a dual citizenship with both the US and South Africa, she is very smart and caring and sort of motherly, but has a HUGE love of all things conspiracy and mystery, ghosts, aliens, government spies and all that stuff. She is trilingual, speaks English, French, and uses ASL. She is a really good mannered gal with a strong desire to break the rules every now and again. Her mom Naya used to be a police officer, and her other mom Jennifer (who is deaf) works in the peace Corp.

And then Douglass, he is also a pretty good kid, he is Jewish and an incredibly kind and understanding dude who is big into romance, anime, and sews his own cosplays on the side. He is Oliver's (the protagonist) og friend and also like, has a huge crush on him. He is patient and mild mannered but can be ridiculously talkative at times. His dad Chris, is a scientist and a colleague of Oliver's dad, Jon, and he is recently divorced with his wife due to the emotional fallout after the unfortunate death of their youngest child and daughter, at the hands of Leukemia.

I am, ostensibly, not a part of these two characters ethnic and ethnoreligious backgrounds, but I want to be realistic and as respectful as possible to people from those backgrounds so, im kindly asking if anyone from these communities would like to help me and give input on these characters. They are two very big parts of the main four characters and I love them a lot, and I want to add more about their backgrounds into the story without relying on possibly incorrect information from Google lol.

So..if you want to help, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

Review: Disney Attractionistas

So I realize it’s a bit of a fools’ errand to review a doll line that’s been out since 2015, but I just got my hands on four of the Disney Attractionistas and I wanted to give my 2 cents on ‘em. They’re still selling them at the parks, AFAIK, soooo...

nota bene: I got these dolls used. Some of my gripes amount to “these dolls are used and were clearly played with at some point. also this review is for GROWNUPS not CHILDRENS these dolls cost LOTS OF REAL MONEY YES. </topical joke> 

So here are the four Attractionistas I got. Each Attractionista, in case you don’t know the doll line’s gimmick, is a gijinka for a Disney attraction. From left to right, we’ve got Gracie/the Haunted Mansion, Nellie/the Jungle Cruise, Pearl/Pirates of the Caribbean, and Celeste/Space Mountain. 

Each doll comes with sundry accessories, including a Cute Animal Friend and a hat. Nellie is missing most of her accessories, including her hat, her messenger bag, her Cute Animal Friend, and her shoes- these are random witch boots that I thought belonged to Gracie at first. 

The obligatory size comparison, with Queen Amidala standing in as our default Barbie. The Attractionista looks much taller than the regular Barbie, but she really isn’t- most of the size difference is the neck and the giant noggin.  

Amidala has a TNT waist for some ungodly reason (and I feel old now!), so I switched to Nolee, my OOAK My Scene, for the next few comparison pics... 

Attractionistas can wear Barbie clothing just fine. (to be one of my dolls and be loved, you MUST submit to the mortifying ordeal of wearing Godawful Vintage Barbie Cutoff Jorts.) 

Barbies can more or less wear Attractionista clothing- the tops and the boots fit okay-

Buuuuut the pants don’t fit so good. I think if I struggled a lil I could get them to close over the butt, but Barbies seem to have slightly wider waists than Attractionistas. 

Going back to the dolls themselves: 

This is what Nellie looks like with her outfit “taken apart”. That bra is not standard, it was clearly painted on by her previous owner. Three of my four dolls have this. 😒The only one who was spared was, for some reason, Pearl. At least it makes this review less likely to get flagged...

These gals have 5 points of proper articulation- depressingly small, I know. Their heads are hard vinyl without much squish to it- kinda like Bratzillas. Their bodies are hard plastic, and so are their arms- their legs are that annoying rubbery Vintage Barbie Plastic, and they have click knees. I hate hate HATE click knees. 

The clothes are nicely detailed, and while the tops are only one piece (even the more complicated ones like Pearl’s corset/blouse), everything fits well and is mostly sturdy enough for play. The one exception to this? Sleeves. 

See, Attractionistas have big weird hands...

They look more like Monster High hands than Barbie ones, and are spread out much wider. Unfortunately, unlike Monster High, their hands aren’t detachable. And with no articulation and fairly narrow sleeves... getting their hands through is a bit of a chore. 

Their legs are also pretty rubbery. Some dolls with click legs still manage to have the ability to hold a pose- these ones don’t. 

Moving on to the other dolls...

You can probably guess that Gracie is my fave, for the obvious reasons- she’s a Victorian Goff, she has a top hat, she represents the Spoooooky Haunted House...

But also: BUSTLE DRESS. I want to reverse-engineer this thing. 

She also comes with a cute animal friend who I think might be my toysona... 

(seriously it’s a lil purple bat in a top hat, how can you not love this friend?) 

In fact, now’s a good time to talk about the animal buddies: 

I got three of the four - like I said, Nellie’s tiger was missing. They’re super cute and loaded with Disney Charm (TM). I especially like Gracie’s bat and Celeste’s dog- they’ve stolen my heart. 

Speaking of Celeste.... She came to me decapitated. Maybe she was cosplaying in honour of Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy’s demise. :( 

It looks like her neck peg broke and her previous owner couldn’t fix it. If I try to recapitate the girls (TM) onto new bodies then Celeste will be the first attempt. 

She’s very cute, though. I get kind of a Miku vibe from her. SPACE MOUNTAIN SAID TRANS RIGHTS!

As for Pearl, the Pirates of the Caribbean doll:

I’ve said most of what I wanted to say about the line as a whole, so I don’t have that much to say about Pearl other than- yeah, I like her. Her Pirate Outfit is cute and I’m a sucker for dolls with giant manes of curls. Her hat doesn’t want to stay on, and her parrot can’t really sit on her shoulder- gotta work on that.

And here’s The Gang together on my shelf!

final verdict:

These dolls have some of the cutest designs and some of the worst construction I’ve ever seen from a legit doll. I can’t tell who the target audience is- these are too cheaply made to really appeal to collectors, but too delicate and with too many fiddly pieces to appeal to children. 

I’d rate these 6.5-7/10- they’re good dolls if you can get them for cheap like I did, but they’re not worth paying full price. (Especially not if “full price” requires a trip to the Disney parks, good lord!) 

And I fully intend to customize them- maybe even do a head shrink, if the acetone can handle it. >_> 

[lenv4-cosplay]

your cosplay is phenomenal!!! I saw the kitty one and I'm just in awe! I am a sucker for green hair and leather jackets also so there's that. but it just looked really true to the character! very cool

AWWWW thank you!!! That makes me happy!!! I’m glad you like it!! I’m actually REAAALLY happy with that one so I’m super glad it seems to have been received well.... I can’t wait to do more ghost gals ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Letter 1.0.1

><

I'm writing this to you on Thanksgiving Day, it felt fitting despite us not celebrating it, so instead I will be wishing you a merry Christmas. A tad bit older photo added for depth, immersion and personalization while reading. None of it is scripted in any way, the idea is to make me emotional & it will all be written on the go. Make sure you read it all, and you will never hear from me again. Please do respect my terms also and do not under any circumstances share this letter or it's contents with anybody. Remember, only you will truly understand the context and true meaning of this letter. Quite likely it will change your whole perspective on me, but it won't matter anymore. If you think you're the bigger victim and believe you've had it worse than me & that you've suffered more and dealt with more... well, a bit of a free of charge reality check for you... you're dead wrong. I'm the one who is being tormented maniacally and brutally every other night, to the point where I simply don't know what's real and what's not. Scared of living life, kind of. It's clear to all I made a mistake last year. No weasely lies and fabrications in this letter, this is the Me you've longed to finally see. Anxiety through the roof, among other things/issues. I'm deeply sorry, Annie. Bless you & bless me, more importantly. Please tell me you forgive me. Do not dare to share any of the contents of this said letter with anybody, be a grown-up and act like one for once, you live all alone, now try and impress me, it's far too personal, a glimpse of me, and meant for you alone. Only you will understand the context of this letter. You're not exactly the golden carrot of the yield, but this one should be fairly easy to follow - Keep it to yourself, and stay quiet about this, I'm begging you. You're not legally obligated to do anything, this is your life and you make the rules, you're a good and kind gal, you're by no means a bloodthirsty vampire like some of them, and as I made very clear it wouldn't be fruitful & would shortly after turn into a proper clown fiesta, and possibly a meaningless waste of government resources. You wouldn't gain anything at all from this. I was going to say let me know if you need anything, and I'll gladly donate a fair sum to your PayPal, and it kind of made me realize that is something that would be morally and legally wrong of me to do, it wouldn't feel like a donation, it would almost feel like I'm trying to buy you and win you over, after causing this much pain to your heart, which I deeply regret. (I'll pay for your nsfw future cosplays maybe? Jkjk, leave that avenue to the twonks who'd actually find pleasure in doing that.) I don't donate much anyways online, if I'd donate it'd have to be an actual animal charity, I feel like when people think of charity they instantly think of like some Cancer Foundation or elderly/orphan fund, not that those are not fair causes, it's just that some dying/sick animals really need our support too, and they're just as worthy. After this i'm doing my own thing & staying away from you, promise. I'm a great citizen, mind my own business and never cause trouble. I just needed for my own sake to send something meaningful and pure your way. Everything that you will see here comes from the heart & I will do my best to be as honest as humanly possible. Whenever I begin working on these long 50,000 word essays I always tend to fear that I forget something crucial or run out of time, so let's hope it doesn't happen this time around. The writer usually spends 10 times the time and effort the reader does, so please do sit down, get comfy, and please read all of this letter. This is going on your SC and Tumblr & will be deleted once the timer on my stream deck reaches zero, you have a tendency to take photos and eventually show them to outsiders, this will ensure it's a one-off, and for your eyes only. It is mainly to apologize to you, among other things. To make you realize that in just 3 years time I'll be completely "reformed", as they say. If you must know "breaking the law" to say sorry could be considered as... noble, in most countries at least. Without a doubt in my mind they'd love for us to bury the hatchet and shake hands, but after this "letter" to you I am actually done with you altogether, and you'll not be hearing from me ever again... unless fate says otherwise. Do remember that this and me apologizing to you for being an awful male, this was mostly done so I can live, function and mentally function like a normal human being again, I will get to that later on in the letter, all you should know now is that it was more of a ME thing, and less of a YOU thing, if that makes sense. Needless to say I have 8 VPNs total with unlimited data running on all of my systems including 2 iPads, laptops, and even phones, to ensure that my IP is impossible to find and non-existent. Just a quick pitch, you could've used common sense to figure that one out yourself. Naturally somebody as wealthy as me would be untouchable, at least in the virtual world, where everything is simple and made easy. I am quite clever, yes, yes I am indeed. But I would not use it for evil deeds, deep inside I am a shockingly kind and nice guy. Oh, you were looking for a bad boy? We can talk, my dear, you know full well that I'd be/become anything for you. No candlelit dinners so I can compliment your cheekbones? You have kept your eyes open, and tonight your knowledge of me is getting greater and greater. You could write a book about us. It almost feels like deja-vu, I've been here studying and doing research on you, now I'm giving you the sheer opportunity to do the same. And 4 years after first talking to you online (in 2014), I, I touched your cat's black fluffy tail once, and catbug, she ran right away, it almost looked like she did a tiny leap forward before running. Yes, it was her 100%. I'm a shining star, just waiting to unlock my full potential, it will happen when the right time comes, you can never rush such things. My financial status would only indicate I have great things waiting for me and a brimming bright future ahead of me, should I play all my cards right, I do adore graveyards, but there is no reason at all why I should perish in the next 5-15 years. I can only hope that you're smart enough to not mention any of this to your mom, I realize you two are close, but being a grown-up means you know what to mention to somebody and what is better left unsaid. Wiser to let this one go and keep it to yourself, no need to waste government resources, and do understand that being fortunate and getting me potentially taken to a mental asylum for 3 weeks would not benefit you in the slightest, I've made it very clear that I don't associate myself with social outcasts, and we of course are done for good after this bit, so let's make it count. Being respectful is calling you a lady even though I full well know it's a girl in sheep's clothing I've been dealing with, hard to tame, always needs to have it her way, borderline blunt at times.. how come Annie the girl does not have a feminine soul, a bit odd, perhaps I do rest my case. You certainly are special, as your mom would say, she means you're not like the other girls. You're way different & not necessarily in a good way. Wanted you & Nora for the experience... Do find you both quite boring, even on the dating spectrum, she's the snappy one, you're the calm one. Will surely do better in the future. As far as I go... I'm your little ghost. I'm a spirit, roughly 500 years ago people like me were considered as and called witches, simply since we were ahead of our time. As you know there are good and bad spirits, I would stand somewhere in the middle as a classic inbetweener I've always been, casually swaying towards either or, but ultimately staying put in the middle. Some days I hate you, other days I love you... Yet here I am ending this "letter" to you with the words "I Love You", and perhaps "Muah" on top of that should I feel classy enough, as always, on the cheek, one final time. Do remember that I will always remain near you & overseer your doings, we don't need to interact, in fact it would be silly to think we can't co-exist in eachother's hearts. When you get the strange feeling that you can't find the explanation for, perhaps it's just me, and nothing more. It's been a sheer clown fiesta witnessing the names and things you've called me thus far. What's new, right? At the very least you don't take me for a joke anymore, which is wise of you, since I'm not. The casual 21st century term "stalker" simply insults me. Even somebody with as little intellect as you would know that stalkers are for years, spirits are for lifetime. I'm nothing less than a S-P-I-R-I-T, one with high capability & intellectual intelligence. I've never commented on your idiocy or your weird friends (90% of them are weird), I'm awfully passive and neutral. I've never insulted/talked-down-on the soyboys, e-slags, pre-mature losers, weebs, memers, or entitled punks you interact with every now and then. No point including the 16-21 year old boys and girls in that category, as I understand how these underage and barely of age children follow you, and you see yourself as their "mama" and friend, not strange in the slightest, not the harvest of living inside of a box for the majority of your life, when fantasy is taking over, sis. Those kids are the only community you have left... surely it would be cruel to let them off the hook, you can't let them go, some of them still see you as a role model! ~ I suppose you could say I'm on a whole different level, and people like me tend to not notice people who are "less". But good luck to them, perhaps some day they too will get themselves out of their holes and start moving towards things that actually matter. Speaking of which... God bless Great Britain if you actually end up scoring an actual decently paying job after all your studies. I would donate a fair few braincells to you... If I didn't have such a bright future ahead of me. In a universe where employers and companies actually did background checks on people before hiring, a silly bean like you would never score anything worthwhile. Personal assistant for a single individual would probably be your peak. Back to me... I am a millionaire, as you expected, seeing as how doors just open and close for me and my kind. I never worked even a day for what I have, but the people before me certainly did. Even more wealthy now in fact, as of last year, now that my professor and casual alcoholic of a grandpa is finally under ground, he was respected by many, but his lifestyle choices were hilariously fractured. See? We (are) similar, kind of. Ah, how I hate drinking and alcohol, I literally drink only twice a year and always feel guilty after, I hate people that consume alcohol in the spirit of the party at clubs or live concerts, and those who tend to constantly drown their sorrow and unhappiness into the bottle. I adore a good coffee and tea though. Living a promising life of luxury, hence the 3 years I will take to improve myself, improve my body to the maximum for the sex appeal and quality of life, get your name 'Annie' with a mini thorny rose underneath tattoo'd on my left arm, so I can take you to places and talk to you, enjoy your company & so I would never forget you (not that there is a chance in hell I'd actually ever do, of course, hahaha.), dye my hair pale/pastel color, purple in 2020, letting it heavily fade to soft pink, After that focus on the pastel spectrum of colors, re-do my driver's license, own a 40k car, but have not driven anything in 3-4 years, begin buying land and potentially own more land, farmhouses, households, countryside villas and mansions than some of the more wealthier businessmen in my area; as you can tell "owning" things & writing are two big passions of mine, the latter for expressing myself and influencing others, and so is real estate, country and marketing to an extent, legally change my first name to something sleek such as Jed, Jed Nei... or you know whatever else that feels unique and not-so-common; pick a powerful name that people will remember (and fear, jkjk), basically get my life on the line/on the rails and get a woman who will massage my strong pectorals with oil every Sunday morning only to ensure I will be more than ready to take on the next week. I adore romance, but still feel that death is the most romantic thing out there. Now of course she could cook for me just fine, but i'd actually really want to taste something you've cooked, as long as you do the cooking with just an apron on and absolutely nothing underneath. Oh Annie, unlocking your true potential would be a really easy task for me. You like cherry blossoms, I on the other hand like 400 year old oak trees. However our worlds could of collided & you could of been my sweetheart under the bright sun and moon. Currently own 2 countryside 2 floor homes and plenty of actual land around them, looking to expand in the future of course. Imagine leaving your silly big city life behind. Imagine laying there (on a hill) naked on the grass in the middle of the day, or relaxing in the bikini, depending how confident you are with your own body, and breast size, I also would not be totally satisfied if mine looked so "below average", but god does your bottom/bum make up for it. Loads of flowers that I can gather and give you, or put in your hair, plenty of forests nearby perfect for mushroom picking, hiking or picnics, loads of plants, fruit bushes, ponds, fruit trees, acorn trees ideal for climbing, farmland, greenhouse, ponds big enough for swimming, cyan blue skies large and wide enough for any balloon or kite you may want to play around with. Or if that’s not entirely your cup of tea then we can plan our big vacation to the Canary Islands in Spain, whatever you like, as long as you stay with me forever. You're a sweet creature and I'm certain we could of started something unique & exciting together, but that's all gone now, i'm still certain that I could of loved you right and shown you extreme passion, to go to bed with you and make you feel happy, loved & excited for the next day, our next day together in paradise. This is not a fantasy tale/dream, this could of potentially been our reality, assuming I would accomplish all my goals, and you willing to leave your current life for me. But why dwell on what could of been, I will never feed you fresh strawberries straight from the greenhouse, I will never "own" you, you will never be my girl, my companion, my life's purpose. I see now why I felt so heavily against friendship with you... being your friend considering the things I had planned for us, that would only lead to romance and love, that friendship would be over so quick you could not even call it one. Oh, and, I can be very sensual and passionate at times. And possibly start a IRL vlogging channel on Youtube in 3 years time, just to influence & motivate others and to portray my lifelong journey to greatness with the dozen obstacles I had to face and overcome along the way, making it all even more bittersweet, especially the main final goal, which if you can recall is to become the biggest standalone landowner/businessman in my area. Maybe you'll randomly stumble across the channel one day & wonder what could of been & what you missed out on, not only that but you'd also visually see the beautiful landscape and things I talked about earlier. Oh and I'll definitely purchase at least one or two more expensive cars, driving around with just one specific car all the time, obviously being somebody who clearly is able to afford another one, it feels kind of lame. P.S I've never ever actually been obsessed with you. You were just a girl I liked because of a few key factors/reasons. Plus we seemingly have dozens of things in common.And we have reached the part where I'll try and explain why writing this was needed for me, and my mentality; Are you a demon baby/girl? If not keep reading and don't even think about showing this letter to anybody else. If you are however... Come with me & with the assistance of our genitals let's try and produce a demon child. A bit NSFW, but we're 25 and nobody else is going to see this (Right? Good gal.), so I'd so-so-so take you raw on the floor in every single position imaginable, your front hole would naturally be so loose afterwards that no guy would want to or feel comfortable with doing it with you anymore. White stuff would go in both 'A' and 'V' holes several times to ensure pregnancy is triggered. Jeez, having and making a baby with you would be so unbelievably sexy. Anyways, back on the topic we go, so me and my issues I've been dealing it... I mentioned it at the start & will do it again... If you think you've been affected by this or you've had it worse/suffered more than me... Well think again. Ever since earlier this year I've had horrible anxiety, hearing unnatural beings and things talk to me and gradually hearing their voices around me. I don't think I'm losing my mind or going crazy, but this does all feel very real to me. Always closing my door at night, not even trying to, it just comes naturally to me to do it, much like a habit. I fell in a deep pit, and I'm so sorry to you, I really do apologize, my dear. My darling Annie. now my situation is being abused and i'm being taken advantage of by these demons/ghosts/shades, I'm now shaking for no reason, it's not even cold in here, it's awful. Psst, I'm not a monster. Imagine being too messed up mentally to go to the grocery store/supermarket alone & having to call your mom and tell her to bring you some food and supplies - telling her that the reason for it is that you have a massive headache right now & that you're unable to get out of bed. Yikes, that does sound bad. And to make it even worse, it has happened more than once. I feel like I need a 12-hour nap after sending this letter your way, feel a bit odd all of sudden, please read it all, it's a glimpse of me and my story and life. I can only hope that I will feel better and be able to go back to living my life like a normal human being now that I threw everything out there and apologized to you. I will leave you be now. It's a peek into my life essentially. I really do adore your tight little pale pink p*ssy, and Nora’s all the same, you gals are & stay important to me. Please do respect my terms and do not under any circumstances share this letter or it's contents with anybody. All the best to you and your family. I Love You. Muah. 💞

Costume Ideas for Halloween 2018: Boom! Studios edition (Power Rangers 25th anniversary)

It is that time of year again and we are going to start off with Power Rangers since this is their big year. Boom! Studios has blessed fans with a ton of new options for trick or treat this year to dedicated cosplayers, so we are going to start off with a few of them before moving on to the usual fare.

First up, of course, is...

Lord Drakkon (Evolution I, Evolution II and III)

One of the deadliest threats to the Power Rangers thus far, Drakkon made a lasting impact on the franchise. Having some good looking upgraded forms is definitely going to leave a lasting impression on fans. He starts out as a MMPR-Samurai hybrid, then evolves further with the Red Zeo subcrystal before attaining godhood by becoming one with the Morphin Grid. 

Female fans can do the standard Gokai Change method if they wish by adding a skirt or do an even wilder alternate take where Ranger Slayer Kimberly kills Evil Tommy and takes the powers for herself, adding the Bow of Darkness to the costume. However fans go about it, if done well, you will look like a badass when entering a room or going door to door for those elusive Snickers, M&Ms or other goodies.

“Super Zack” (or a variation) from “Forever Mighty Morphin Black”

Superheroes are all the rage these days, in movies, tv and in merch. So what if Power Rangers were a more traditional western style superhero team rather than an adaptation of a Japanese superhero show? You get this guy from a short story in one of the MMPR Comic annuals!

This version of Zack can fly like Superman and sports a variation of the classic MMPR Black Ranger suit with a full black cape, Superman-like boots that have a single black diamond with a white outline and elbow length gloves with black lining on the hand and finger parts of it. Or, if you have time, you could design a variant of the other colors. Imagine how cool a White, Pink, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue or even a Zeo version could be!

Zombie ‘69 Rangers

Let’s face it, these poor guys didn’t get enough “screentime” for our tastes. So, what if there was a “Blackest Night” scenario?  Zombie Power Rangers! Admittedly, a bit too gruesome for the kiddies, but scares are part of what Halloween is for right?

This would be an easy one, just wear tattered 1960s-ish clothes, a little make up and carry a Power Morpher or go crazy and make mangled Power Ranger suits. Daniel’s would have the shattered helmet visor with scary zombie eyes peering out of it, Jaime’s would have bloody entrails sticking out since she was crushed to death and Nikolai’s would be a singed Blue Ranger suit with exposed burns and some skeletal make up. 

Silver Space Ranger Sentry

A fan favorite among shows in the Power Rangers lore is Power Rangers in Space. So it stands to reason that a representative of what could go wrong if evil got that team’s Ranger powers should be present on this list. 

The Silver Space Sentries are vastly different from their original counterpart, equipped with a combat utility belt with the (Mega)Ranger symbol in the center and a few bulky pouches on each side of the hips, a jetpack with shoulder padding, kneepads and some kind of device on the left shoulder (energy gage?). Some kind of breathing apparatus tube flows into the helmet and they are equipped with twin blasters. 

Honestly, I chose this one out of the recent ones not cosplayed yet because the White Jungle Fury Rhino and Gold Dino Charge are way more complicated to replicate from scratch due to all the armor. But if you can pull those off, I’d love to see you complete the challenge!

And lastly for now, our recent lovely morphin’ lady, since Ranger Slayer is all the rage and cosplayed quite a lot, it helps to go for the less mainstream.

Solar Ranger

This shy-but-kinda-maybe-evil little sunshine gal is still very new, having not even uttered a word yet in the comics so far. And while her full costume hasn’t been given a lot of time to show off, we can tell that the costume has a purple hoodie with gold lining, bandages on her wrists and boots, some kind of star like pattern, gauntlets or morpher on the gloves and seemingly takes heavy inspiration from Kamen Rider Ghost and Kyuranger with a touch of SPD thrown in. She wields some kind of discus weapon that may or may not be made of purple crystal or just energy.

It is a challenge to translate to real world costume given the cosmic pattern of stars in her suit. But for the helmet, I recommend a purple or violet Maziora or Chromaflair paint and a few custom flakes to bring the “star” effect to life. Just be sure not to hurt yourself when applying and wear a mask when spraying. Since her costume is gender neutral like Trini’s suit, a Rule 63 is pretty simple to pull off, just make it fit your body with no add-ons needed.

And there you have it! 7 costume ideas to kick off the spoopy-spooky season.

Day 887

At lot has happened since I last spoke with you T. I started college and went down hill very fast. I was lonely and too emotionally dependant on my boyfriend. The year kinda started off very hot and I lived in basically what you would call a brick oven. Inside and out I was deteriorating. But eventually I started making friends!!

Probably a month or two into the school year I come into my room and find one of my roommates sobbing on the floor. She had been trying to kill herself. And I thought of you. What if someone had walked in for you? What would have happened? Would you still be here? Or would you have gone on anyway?

Christmas came around eventually and I got to return home. I wish I never came home. My family has been going through very rough things with a court case involving my sister in law and the father to my niece. I got to sleep on the couch for a whole month though so I guess that's good.

You may be my biggest ghost, the one that will haunt me the most for my entire life. And there was a kid who looked just like you and I forgot how to breathe. All I could think was that everything that happened had been the cruelest of jokes. But deep down I know he wasn't you, that no living person would ever see you again.

The year year anniversary of your death showed up, the day I was traveling back to school. I felt so broken the whole day, because on one hand I got to get away from my family, but on the other I knew that there was a family hurting so much because of you. You're a real shit head, you know that?

Bruise Buddy came back into my life again, literally went to my house while I was away and helped my family out some. I was incredibly thankful, but it brought up feelings that I had been keeping under lock and key for about five years.

Those feelings are what have gotten me into the mess I'm in now, and I have no one to blame but myself. I've been talking one kid out of suicide for about a month because P.S. broke up with him. It was a horrible relationship and she did what she had to do, but I'm wearing down.

I wish I could have been there for you. Why wouldn't you open up to me, or even anyone else? Was it the drugs? Something else?

I haven't been able to sleep very well tonight because my whole world just exploded, metaphorically of course. It was the first time in years I had considered self harm, and I'm worried about myself. But I won't be able to get help until this godforsaken summer is over and I go back to school.

Speaking of school again, I'll tell you some about my new friends. You get to listen to me drone on about how great they are and can't do anything to stop me mwhahaha.

So first there's B.D. you know her already, she went to school here and was friends with your friend group. She's still firm on her choices, but she's more willing to negotiate with things now, and I think that's great character development. She's wild but she has depression and it's biting her in the butt. She came out as bi and I think that's amazing cause she gets to be who she is.

Next up is Q Daddy. Think of my appearance. Now think of the literal exact opposite. That's what he looks like. You never know when he's joking or not, but he is hilarious either way. He's a soft kid who doesn't always open up to us but that's alright. People are allowed to keep things to themselves. He's got this laugh that can make everyone around him smile, and he is so laid back. I miss his company terribly.

Then there's the Absolute Embodiment of Rage. You would have loved him. He's so driven and talented, loves math, hates french, and plays a mean toaster. I'm not kidding. He plays the toaster. Sometimes he'll give you the worst advise possible but he does it out of love. Oof nevermind let's not talk about love today.

Anime Queen. An Actual Demon. Whatever you call her, she is so very cool. She can tell stories for days and redneck fix anything you need. She's great at cosplaying and she's so very immersed in what she does that I envy her sometimes. She's a great gal, but I'm not as close with her as B.D. is.

Trying to think of a new name for the next one is hard, but only because everything I want to call her is so specifical everyone would know instantly who she is. And I don't want that cause this is my soap box. A place where I can talk. For now let's call her...YeeYee. One of the sweetest yet most ferocious girls you have ever met. She loves animals so much and could tell you facts for days. She's so open about sex and everything and I appreciate it more than she could ever know. She's open and honest and I couldn't ask for a better friends.

Gay Pride and All That has been a back and forth game. Sometimes he is so nice and other times I want to actually reach over and strangle him. He had a lot of problems in the beginning of the year, including being sexually asulted. And it's worn down on all of us. But he is so himself that you (mostly) want to help him.

Last and certainly not least is Clock Tower. I want to squish him I miss him so bad wow. He's an amazing writer I want to actually drown in his stories. He's opened up to us about a lot and it's really made me question my outlook on life. Those are the best kind of people though. He is probably the purest person I have ever met. And I'm not saying he doesn't have hormones or anything. He's like a light and I think I'd follow it forever, in a platonic sense.

I have more friends but this is the main group who have stuck by my side this year. I love them so much. I wish you could have met them. I wish you could have went and made your own set. But you're forever young and no one can change that now.

I called you the other night and nearly sobbed at the sound of your voice. The voice of you, so young. Your voicemail was from 2012. I bet you hadn't even hit puberty yet. It was the T I knew. I'm sorry I was so weird and that we drifted? As we did.

I know drifted isn't really the right word there, but I'm not sure exactly what to say. Maybe you understand, maybe you don't. Maybe I'm just talking to no one at all.

I miss you every day. Take care of yourself, wherever you may have went.

THE TEN GIRLS YOU DATE BANG IN COLLEGE

~ *~ a list of wanted connections/exes for jemma sterling ~*~

an ooc note from leigh: this list of connections is just a list. there are some i thought would fit off the top of my head, there are some that i left open to interpretation, and there are some that i’ve discussed/plotted out. if you’re interested in one of these (or tbh, if you want your character added to the actual softball team that is jemma’s love life) then pls hit me up xoxo

THE PRINCESS: NICOLA DE ROCHA

These two were basically doomed from the start. Jemma’s never quite managed to get over the grip that Nicola held on her. The two became roommates after a series of incidents at NYU, and everything with Jemma and Nicola were great. They had plenty in common, they worked well together. Jemma even got along with the majority of Nicola’s friends, most of whom will also end up this list because oops. When Spencer Porter, another of Jemma and Nicola’s mutual friends, broke Nicola’s heart, Jemma swooped in to do what she does best: rebound and take advantage of someone with a broken heart to get her rocks off.

What wasn’t in the cards, though, was Jemma falling for Nicola-- and falling hard. To this day, Jemma doesn’t know why. What resulted was a fall out like none other-- in her pettiness, Jemma moved out. Things are still a little weird for them, but only a little.

THE ARTIST/MUSICIAN: open

TBD

THE JOCK: REGGIE CLIFTON

Know what’s fun? Hot girls with soccer bods. Know what’s even more fun? When they’re on the opposing team. Am I implying that Reggie and Jemma fucked after a soccer game? Never. Yes. Jemma and Reggie have been friends since they both got to New York, and considering they both love a ship with no strings attached, it was only too easy for them to fall into a pattern.

However, when things started getting complicated for both of them with other people, Jemma and Reggie stopped seeing each other in that way and were solely on the Path of Platonic for a solid six months. Now that both of their love lives are in shambles again, it’s only a matter of time before they fall back into old habits.

THE 2 COOL 4 U KID: open

TBD

THE GHOSTER: open

TBD. This person is someone who “dated” Jemma but then dropped off the face of the earth and left her ghosted. Know who doesn’t like it when she doesn’t get attention? Jemma. Know who’s going to be a total brat to this gal? Also Jemma.

THE STAGE FIVE CLINGER: SCOUT SOLANO

After Scout broke up with an ex-girlfriend, she was on the rebound. What did she do? Tinder. Enter Jemma, and we’ve got outselves a messy ship, folks. Once Jemma realized that Scout was in this for something other than casual sex, she noped the fuck out of there. Scout had a hard time getting the memo, and Jemma feels pretty bad about it to this day. They’re both still pretty cool with each other, and it’s not awkward. That’s implying that Jemma can feel awkward. She can’t.

THE DON GIOVANNA: BEATRICE SMITH

Considering Jemma and Bea are both ladies who’d consider themselves well versed in the ways of other ladies, it was only a matter of time before they fell into step with each other. Jemma really likes how Bea was the one who made the first bold move, and while their affair was short, they had a grand time with it. Jemma liked being the person who was sought after for once, and she holds Bea in very high regard because of it. Jemma’s fully aware that Bea is on her way to monogamyland by stalking picture of Bea and Sam on her instagram, but she’s going to try and not hold it against her. Time breaks up all couples.

THE HBIC: open

TBD. Sometimes, and only sometimes, Jemma likes it when someone’s mean to her. But she’d like it way more if this outwardly nasty person was a total softie when it comes to cute blondes who draw you with three boobs.

THE FREAK IN THE SHEETS: EVIE MILLER

Evie just screams “I’m cute, make me yours!!!” to someone like Jemma, which could go one of two ways. Both of these ways don’t end well, mind you, but let’s pretend for a second. Evie is adorable, she can talk comics with Jemma like the best of them. Their friendship started out as something totally sweet and pure and based on cosplaying. They went to conventions together, movie preimeres together, and nerded out together. It was a grand time.

Fast forward to recently, when things have been starting to get a little less platonic between the both of them, initiated by a kiss that Jemma gave her after she scored one of her many goals during the Showers indoor soccer season. Suddenly, Jemma’s looking at Evie in a whole new light, and she’s totally aware of all the kinky roleplaying they could do in the bedroom. It’s only a matter of time.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY: ARIA ABRAMS

Stay tuned for agony.
