#it minseries

[seratlantisite]

one piece live action worked bc actually they instead threw out the original plot and instead kept the heart of every arc, and rebuilt the story to capture those plot beats in a new way that suited the new run time and medium

they accepted they would never be able to make it 1:1, and honestly we didn't need them too because the manga and anime already are. and because they accepted that from the start they were able to look at what each arc was saying, how it was saying it, and instead were able to capture each emotional core in a different but very fitting way

Daily ‘Min #10, Circmin!

I bet he’s lemon scented. Maybe I should have called him Lem’min or something like that. Anyway this guy would be useful in many ways during a game of Pikmin. You could use them like bowling balls to knock over bulborbs before moving in for the kill with the rest of your pikmin squad.

We all know Aki is your favourite yugioh character in 5ds

My question is, if you had to do an anime mini series focusing on her, how would you do it, and what would the plot be about?

This has been sitting in my inbox for an unfortunate amount of time and idk when it's going up, but I wanted to answer it before the year is over!

So.I'm going to assume that by "miniseries" you mean a tiny spin-off with Aki at the centre that's still loosely connected to canon, so I'll base my answer off of that.

If I were given the reigns to a miniseries where Aki gets to be the protagonist, it could go either of two ways: Either I make a plot-heavy arc to tie up some of her loose ends, or I do something more light-hearted that focusses on the less important shenanigans she gets up to when she's not on screen.

If I gave her a plot-heavy miniseries, I would focus, as one might expect, on the Arcadia Movement. Canon left a lot of loose ends and a lot to be desired on that front and it's just begging to be adressed in-depth. With a miniseries, probably situated during the timeskip between the DS and pre-WRGP arc, I'd try to properly adress the fallout of the movement. There's a good chance I'd reuse elements from Fields of Arcadia for that. I'd dig into how Aki's readjusting to normal society, how her re-enrollment in duel academy works out, and how Arcadia's sudden, violent downfall is probably still on her mind. She'd probably start digging through files in this one, too. But for a miniseries, I'd probably go beyond that and maybe let her seek out some former members, too. Really get to the bottom of what Arcadia was doing behind the curtains and who was involved in it. Who knows, maybe I'd let her track down Carly's help (or Carly involves herself by accident because she can't help her curiosity) and they try to chase down as much information as possible. The rest of the usual crew would be the supporting cast, helping out with occasional enquiries. To give the whole thing some tension, let's say Aki gets "inspired" to dig into the movement by hearing that someone is trying to revive it, hoping to take Divine's place as the new leader. It follows that after countless hours of tiring research and probably a couple of scrapes with the "new" Arcadia Movement (with Aki gratuitously learning to appreciate her powers by using them to defend people, naturally), the minseries would conclude with her taking down the person trying to revive the movement and becoming comfortable with her new life outside the movement and her powers. (Meaning she would mostly be in the same position we meet her in at the start of the pre-WRGP arc, just proooobably without the later nonsense of her losing her powers and then declaring they were a curse before regaining them anyway. Yes, I still have beef with that.)

If I went with the funnier, but less intense option of making a miniseries about Aki's off-screen antics, however, I would absolutely stage something like a duel academy tournament. Same timeframe, and for some tenser elements, I would also add the idea of Aki trying to readjust to normal academy life back in. It's a familiar environment, but it has bad memories attached to it, and Aki wouldn't immediately have a good time adjusting. What better way to get her from weird outsider who comes back to school with some strange rumours attached to her to star student who can duel every bragging bully into the ground than an academy tournament? It wouldn't be as massive as the WRGP, of course, but I could see it going from at least a round of sixteen down to the finale. Aki might even hesitate about entering at first (because she doesn't want to garner negative attention again), but her new friends encourage her to. And again, the signers would probably make for the supporting cast. Rua and Ruka would obviously be right there in the academy with Aki, giving them some more attention, too. Rua joining the tournament (depending on whether or not it's an academy-wide or older-students-only tournament) is optional. (But would make for a fun match where they're both giving their all and Aki doesn't have to worry about being judged because he likes her, leading to her showing off how fucking good she is at duelling and how much fun she can have with it if people allow her to. Added bonus of being able to show how much Rua has progressed.) Throw in some bullies Aki puts in their place along the way, and some students (or even other tournament participants) she befriends, and bam. A fun time for everyone involved. (I think it goes without saying that Aki wins the tournament.)

So there you go! Two very different ideas that would make for two nice miniseries for Aki to star in. (They would also make for pretty good fice ideas, lmao.)

7, 10, + 19 for the comic book ask game!!

Referring to this comic collection ask game...

7: The comic you searched for for the longest?

Robin plus Impulse (1996)

When I started collecting Robin (1993), I knew that it would be a long haul to get them all. I mentally fortified myself to getting the main series, but I didn't even let myself think about getting any of the specials, because I thought it would just Take Too Long. And yet here this was on my latest trip to my discount comic store! It was meant to be.

10: The prettiest cover?

Nightwing (2016) #81 - Travis Moore Variant

Okay, the cover I think is the actual prettiest is the pride variant of Superman #32, done after Leyendecker. But it's currently hung on the wall of my office, and not accessible. Moore's pride variant for Nightwing is a close second. I love how vibrant the color is, how dynamic the pose, the way Moore rendered the light... gah, I just love this cover.

19: Best dollar bin find?

Robin II: The Joker's Wild (1991) #1-4

Definitely the entirety of Robin II! Of all of Tim's minseries and self contained stories, I think this one is my favorite. You can tell they're a little beat from how often I thumb through them! But they feature a newly-Robin Tim who has enough training to know what he's doing, patrolling Gotham without a Batman around to look over his shoulder, going against the Joker. Plus, it has one of my favorite panels in all of Batman-comics--the one of the Joker screaming that he killed Robin.

[areyougonnabe]

It's polycule powerpoint anon. How've you been? Also if it is not breaking any rules to ask: who is Roland and why is he not Allowed Here?

lol hi nonny, roland is Roland Huntford who wrote The Last Place on Earth, the book that permawrecked scott's reputation in the late 70s. he is... an interesting character..... his amundsen standom was very powerful and so was its flipside of scott haterism, and both allowed him to do a lot of research that nobody had bothered to do up to that point. but in the interest of promoting amundsen's (legitimate and impressive!) achievements he promoted the "scott was an incompetent bumbler" trope which soon became dominant in the 80s during a broader trend of re-examination of imperial attitudes.

hilariously the guy was like... a conservative thatcherite..... he was also more importantly a big scandiboo who just wanted everyone to know that norwegians rock. BUT his book was adapted into the Last Place On Earth minseries by Trevor Griffiths, a radical socialist playwright who turned the incompetence huntford saw in scott into political commentary, emphasizing scott's sentimentality, anxiety, and (i daresay) femininity as representing imperial hubris, during a the time when the falklands war was at the top of the headlines.

despite a ton of work being done since huntford's book to rehabilitate scott, new pro-scott biographies up the wazoo in the 90s and 2000s, the damage was pretty much done, especially as shackleton's star began to rise. huntford also wrote a big shackleton biography that is just as detailed as LPOE, but i don't think shackleton's ascension had quite as much to do with huntford as scott's downall—it was probably the self-help industrial complex kicked off by "shackleton's way" which was more to blame... anyway what's insane is that huntford and griffiths are both still alive and i think someone should make them fight to the death.

‘Min #6, Kickmin

Although Kickmin are not any stronger than the average pikmin, they attack twice as fast with their feet to melt the health bars of any passing bulborbs.

The colors are kinda based on Ryu from Streets. I know Ryu's barefoot in-game but just pretend RFS has foot gloves too.

[racefortheironthrone]

If we think of "House of M" and "Age of Apocalypse" as line-wide AU events: are there any other similar stories in Marvel? "What if" stories that stretch across multiple titles for multiple months?

Just to be pedantic a bit (because, you know, that's what I do), I don't think Age of Apocalypse is a line-wide event, because it only took place in the pages of X-books and the rest of the Marvel Universe was continuing as per normal even as their Earth-295 counterparts appeared in Age of Apocalypse.

By contrast, House of M had tie-in minis and the like from Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, and so forth - as well as the main event book which was very much an ensemble of the whole of the Marvel Universe.

I can think of other events that are similar - while Secret Wars wasn't a full-AU, there was this time gap that had a big impact on the status quo of Spider-Man, the Avengers, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Thor that was a big mystery as to what had exactly transpired, as well as the main 12-issue mini. (What an irony in that contemporary Marvel has ongoing series that are shorter than their first big event minseries.) Also, Hickman's Secret Wars is set in an alternate "universe" of a sort and a lot of the cast weren't really aware that Doom had engineered this "timeline."

YAKUZA MINSERIES!?!?!?

[superblysubpar]

we'll call it love masterlist

Hey, thanks for being here - whether you binged the series or have been here the whole year or you're literally just reading this and don't care to read the series. I know it's a little (okay a lot) cheesy to make a whole post saying thank you for a silly little fanfic but I've had a tough year, and I didn't want to make the post longer and well, here we are. Don't read it if you don't want to or you think it's cringe.

I wrote the "Rocketman is Dingus. Dingus is Steve. Steve is Rocketman" scene on November 25th, 2022 in the back of my mother in law's car while shopping. I had no real vision other than Friends With Benefits, modern AU, use the songs off of the Uncanny Valley album by COIN, reader hates love and duh - Steve falls in love with everything that moves. Over the course of basically an entire fucking year, a short, 4 "parts" "minseries" turned into this. This lovely, wonderful, infuriating most days, pain in my ass series that I'm going to cherish for the rest of my life. I learned and discovered so much about writing and about myself while creating it. We're truly almost at a year, and originally, when this idea came to me, I was back on my old blog and I just can't even express to you how crazy it is to know the notes I got on first fics to this journey to the new blog and this series...I feel like I can't say thank you enough or express how crazy it is to me and how truly grateful I am. While writing this I was thoroughly broken down to just a sobbing mess multiple times by comments, messages, and love left for the story - I have your messages saved, and they mean more to me than you could ever know. I made new friends while writing it, I daydreamed about these fucking idiots while on my first international trip, I'm chasing crazy dreams and it's truly all because of this story and you guys. All because of your patience and encouragement as I strung you along for almost an entire year just for a silly little fanifc.

A special and specific thank you to @sweetsweetjellybean I love you I love you I love yoouuuu and I know this was a way bigger commitment than either of us foresaw when I asked you to beta for me. Hours, days, and months of friendship and encouragement can't be acknowledged with a simple thank you, but it's the best I got. And another special thank you to @loveshotzz who not only is also an avid supporter, editor, and encourager, but gave me all the Chicago daydreams and sightseeing tour that literally is at the heart of this entire series. Red Hot Ranch idiots, Steve's apartment, Replay, the train, and many more things wouldn't exist without her.

Thank you for your endless support, for literally taking my hands and dragging me across the finish line, I don't deserve either of you 💛

thank you all for your constant patience, encouragement, and love. And thank you for letting me tell Rocketman and Y/N's story 💛
