My WORST to BEST ranking for Heaven's Secret 2 LIs
Oh boy I finally did it!!!! never want to read this book ever again, lmao
NOTE 1: We all know that HS2 has its flaws —S1 feels like a fever dream— but personally one that really irks me is not being able to choose whether or NOT you want to marry your LI. I mention this because many LIs routes are (negatively) affected by this sudden marriage imo
NOTE 2: Winchesto you deserve so much better than Rebecca.
7. Dino - He's never been a character I've been particularly fond of, but at least in HS1 he had some narrative importance (the dynamic with Lucifer was a lot of fun too). His relevance in HS2 is, well, zero & I personally don't feel the chemistry between Vicky and him at all. That being said. Of all the LIs, the only one with whom the wedding makes absolute sense is with Dino - he's 100% husband material.
Being good should not be equivalent to being boring… but in Dino's case, it is. 4/10
6. War - His dynamic with Vicky is… okay-ish? I guess??? They are a hot couple (I personally love his design & his laugh is sexy af) but the connection is lacking & there is no emotional intimacy whatsoever. They keep saying they're in love but are theeey? You don't know each other. Also, if you decide not to k*ll him and don't romance him later in s2 he's literally just a background character.
I don't think this man is ready to be a husband - he should get therapy first. 5/10
5. Hunger - If it were a matter of rating characters, Hunger would be in the top three. His first appearance is one of my favorite scenes in the book along with the board game moment, lmao. But if it comes to rating him as a LI… The relationship feels rushed, to say the least. Marrying a character who appears halfway through the second season makes no sense at all - their wedding scene is just weird.
You guys met like five episodes ago. How about we start by dating first? 6/10
his smile is unsettling lol 4. Malbonte - Replaying this book so many times has made me really appreciate Malbonte. A soldier who will do whatever it takes to win. I love how everyone assumes that he always, always, has a plan (he usually does). But as a LI? His main emotion is rage and pure indifference. As a husband for life, I don't understand how that could work: I can imagine Vicky asking him how his day was and Malbonte's only response being '….' 😐🙄 Go boy give us nothing!
Seriously though. I really love him as a character, but he needs to join War in that therapy thing. 7/10
3. Astaroth - The first interactions are awful & personally his sprite doesn't help either (he's literally a male M*ley Cyrus) but he has so much chemistry with Vicky, it surprised me. Their relationship feels organic as you progress, but just like the rest of the characters that appear in the second book, it all feels rushed. The wedding option should ONLY have been available for characters that appeared in the previous book - with new ones it just feels unearned.
Still, it had potential. 8/10
2. Mimi - The only female LI (how's that legal) and one of my favorites. tbh I think she's TOO good for Vicky??? lmao. A character who is impossible not to adore (even judgy Rebecca gives her approval), in-laws anyone would love to have, and a route that is equal parts endearing and passionate. I confess I kinda miss her sprite from the first book tho
The only reason she's not at the top of the list is the motherf*cker below. 9/10
1. Lucifer - Simply put, they feel like soulmates (he was my LI in the first book so that also plays into it). I haate his behavior in S1, but even with that rocky start the dynamic between Vicky and Lucifer is, and will always be, one of my favorites. They have everything: chemistry, banter, passion, vulnerability moments... I love the contrast of the Lucifer from HS1 with the Lucifer in the final episode. That's growth.
I sincerely hope the third book focuses on their married life and, hopefully, Lucifer being a girl dad 😍😍 10/10

Ahasbands/redwood is so tragic actually when you think abt it
Cut cause this ended up being longer than I thought it would lol, expand for a silly little character analysis of my favorite life series ship <3
One of Martyn's defining traits is his loyalty. He finds a cause and commits. He's willing to do anything to protect his beliefs, even if he can be a bit chaotic.
Mumbo, on the other hand, is way more of an enigma than people make him out to be. Sure, he's a bit awkward and nerdy, but he's able to be chaotic for chaos's sake. The thing is, he has no real loyalties. He's willing to betray anyone for the smallest benefit to himself.
When Mumbo goes red in ll, he immediately defects from the Southlands, blowing up the sugarcane farm he built. He actively targets his former allies - even if it doesn't always go well - but he kind of enjoys it. When Mumbo is red, he makes the most out of it. His mantra is practically "not here for a long time, but a good time."
I could honestly talk plenty more about how their individual personalities clash and how that changes their dynamic and yadayadayada but it's almost 3am and I have to be up in 6 hours ://
While Martyn was in the shadow alliance and objectively a traitor to the Southlands, he's still technically the last one to leave the alliance. He lingers, unable to cut the strings that attached him to the base, as seen by his hallucinations of Mumbo and Jimmy in one of his episodes. Even after the two tried to kill Martyn and Grian, he still used the boogey curse to enact revenge because Grian is a traitor who murdered their allies.
That whole scene was kind of fucked, too. Martyn spends the whole time hanging back. He doesn't want to hurt Mumbo or Jimmy, even if he threatens to. When they attack, he doesn't do much to stop them, nor does he really try to stop Grian. He still sees them as his allies, his friends, his husband tried to murder him and Martyn still wanted to protect him.
#if i had to give them a dnd alignment#i'd say martyn's a lawful neutral and mumbo is either chaotic or true neutral#leaning toward true leutral honestly#idk...if you have thoughts please lmk they make me so mentally ill#trafficshipping#mcyt#life series#last life#traffic smp#trafficblr#ahasbands#redwood#martyn inthelittlewood#martyn itlw#mumbo jumbo

Solver discussion, but it contains info from episode 7, so I´ll put it under cut. 1/2
I wanted to organize my thoughts about the Absolute Solver in a written format, because it's still quite a mysterious entity.
This moment, so easy to miss, is when everything started
A broken worker drone, waking up under the pile of robot corpses, getting an offer from a mysterious entity. The patient zero - Cyn.
And I think that's what made her the main host - while we don't know how humans infected drones with Solver to study it, Uzi and Doll just inherited the programming, which allowed them to access Solver powers, they never were offered a deal. Which is probably why they are capable of fighting it, while Cyn seems under it's total control.
We, as viewers, never actually met Cyn - only her imitation by the Solver. And so we can't be sure that we ever saw actual Cyn, for all we know even in this moment in ep 2
it was already Solver Cyn. Another point for this theory: to both Cyn and Tessa, the entity promised to not discard them. And on the first glance it broke that promise to Tessa. But discard also means "to throw away". And Solver did the absolute opposite of that - it's under Cyn's chassis and Tessa's skin, they are the closest they can be, forever. So to Cyn it could have meant the same - "I won't throw away your body".
I specifically written 'Solver Cyn', because I'm not sure that Cyn/Tessa abomination and the Absolute Solver are the same entity. The reason for that starts in episode 2, where we meet the Spooky Holo Crab - who, unlike the now familiar skinsuit cosplaying drone, refers to itself in plural:
It also drops this little gem of lore, that seems to make more and more sense:
Interestingly, it also refers to J as a host as well
Which means all Disassembly Drones are also Solver hosts. Yet not all hosts are equal, since DDs themselves are created by the first host and nerfed to ensure her control over them
And that's why I think the Solver we saw in episode 2 is the closest to it's purest form, since it's host isn't present to affect it, but it's shackled by the directive given to it by Cyn, which is why it tried to repair J.
Thanks to the recent episode, we also know that humans were able to make a patch, which apparently blocked Solver possession, yet the subjects retained access to Solver powers. Which leads me to fortify my belief that Cyn/Tessa host isn't the same as the Absolute Solver.
The Absolute Solver is a hivemind, 'we', the source of those reality hacking powers. While Cyn/Tessa is the most affected host, and that's why she wants to eliminate all other hosts out of her control. Because if Cyn/Tessa was the Absolute Solver itself, this wouldn't be a problem for her
However, what Cyn/Tessa does have in common with the Absolute Solver - she likes to play with puppets, and she has favorites - team JVN.
But all 3 puppets require different approaches:
J's memories are redacted to suit current needs, in the Pilot she follows company's orders to disassemble worker drones on Copper 9, while her later clone helps "Tessa" investigate Cyn's orders, masked as company's orders. But her true character is now at the precipice as we are yet to see what she actually knows and whether she is aware who her actual boss is.
V is the one who seems to retain the most memories, and her obedience stems not from deception, but from fear:
And finally N - the most redacted of the team. Which is now obvious why - he is the favorite puppet, the one with the best reactions. But no-one can keep those levels of cheer under constant torture, so he needs to be reset the most.

Roze episode 3 thoughts
Didn't get around to putting my thoughts on episode 2 down last week but basically Ash Phoenix is easily becoming my favorite character in the cast and also catherine is a little funny i think
Anyways as usual below this line will be spoiler talk
Ok so like episode 3 had a lot going on like WOW. LL's new fit looks better in the scene that he shows up in than the concept art ive seen floating around. I have seen some discussions on the lore discrepancies regarding lelouch bestowing the same geass he had onto sakuya/roze however i'll wait and see how things go before i decide my thoughts on that bit. I think throwing a fit over lore contradictions is a bit silly, personally.
The maid cafe section of the episode really brought back the goofy slice of life elements of code geass that you either dread or cherish. For me personally even if a lot of it leans onto fanservice I feel like the more comedic lighthearted moments are necessary to emphasize the drama that happens later. Having Sakuya be forced to balance working at a cafe and also larping as Ash's brother while also having to deal with Ash crushing on her waitress-sona is an entertaining scenario. Although not as layered as the school shenanigans in og Code Geass, they can definitely work with this for 12 episodes i feel. or 4 movies, depending on how you're viewing this.
Ash Phoenix. This character fucking baffles me, dude spends one episode cooking with the hardest one liners possible ("I'll show you that even iron bleeds" is the hardest shit like dude) and then goes into the next episode bumbling and infodumping over a crush. He's perhaps the most endearing character on the cast in my opinion, he's just a silly little guy who loves taking care of puppies and kittens and he loves cooking however he also is highly trained in military combat and has nearly inhuman reflexes (dude moved that coffee cup filled to the brim with coffee at high speeds and somehow DIDNT spill it) like he's just the funniest guy there at this point.
Catherine is another highlight this episode, she appeared with one big scene involving her but I already am enjoying how extra she is. She is like intentionally leaning in to the whole meangirl shtick and yknow what? i think its entertaining as shit personally speaking. like yeah shes a total asshole, everybody in neo britannia is. but that doesnt stop the fact that she is incredibly fucking silly to witness. like one of those characters that you love to shove down a flight of stairs.
Norland had his first speaking role here, I was completely caught off guard hearing Dan fucking Green voicing him. It genuinely took my some time to recognize his voice in the dub but shit man his voice was scary here. I was worried that neo britannia might just be a bit of a pushover going off of how the fights with arnold and the two other guys went, but if anything this episode makes it clear that from this point on, things will only get harder for the protagonists. I hope Norland leaves a lasting impact as what i assume is the main antagonist here.
Callis caught me off guard. His dynamic with Natalia was interesting however I did not expect them to kill him off instantly. Curious as to if this was an inside job or not, either way I expect there to be some moral opposition between Natalia and Sakuya because of this incident, even if Sakuya herself has nothing to do with it.
Also taking another moment to mention Mei because I feel like she's decent comic relief. Her shenanigans when helping Sakuya come up with a fake background for herself at the cafe were really funny to watch.
But yeah, i definitely enjoyed this one more than last week's episode, not that episode 2 was bad or anything I just thing that this one kinda topped it in terms of goofy comedy and also world and character building. I'm really glad the writers managed to recapture that same feel of the original series.

New Life series general spoilers and also a bit of personal taste neg (under a read more just in case u don't wanna see it)
me, yesterday: Yeah last life was probably my least favorite of the 3 seasons. I didn't really like the boogeyman mechanic, I thought it disrupted the players relationships in a relatively unsatisfying way. Similarly the extra lives made the deaths feel less dramatic and less important. Some of the most compelling moments were when people resisted this, Scott taking the life penalty, or Etho refusing to abandon Bdubs when he turned red. Frequently people who were red/boogey and became green again didn't face consequences because they were just following the rules of the system. Bdubs boogey kills Tango and its a VERY funny moment because of how Tango reacts, but its mostly brushed aside by the team as a whole, compared to when Cleo held a grudge against BigB for his boogey kill, leading to the absolutely iconic "do me a favor, die for me". 3rd Life I think also benefited from contrast, everyone was very kind and excited at the beginning before id devolved into chaos and bloodshed, whereas everyone was distrustful from the start in LL. So yeah, I'm glad other people like it but really wasn't my cup of tea like 3rd Life was.
Limited Life (same acronym as LL): Boogeyman is back :] and we did extra rounds of it
me: cool
LL: everyone basically has 24 lives
me: sick.
LL: like 10 deaths already on episode one
me: awesome
#i want to reiterate its TOTALLY COOL if other people love these mechanics and/or have opinions that differ from mine#i am SO glad for you if u loved last life and love where it seems limited life is heading.#its also possible that i'm just a fucking wuss. i generally don't like things with unhappy endings. though 3L didn't have a happy ending#and i REALLY liked it. even though everyone died it felt. kinder. like. the duos. no matter what the world threw at them they had each othe#i dunno i never actually finished double life and its been a while since i've rewatched any of them#Limited Life SMP#Limited Life SMP spoilers#limited life spoilers#last life neg#last life salt#<- just to be safe. i don't hate last life by any means but i get some people might not wanna hear someone critique it#i know i also put it under a read more but shshhshhshhhhh i'm playing it safe#og post#i forgot my fucking post tag

i think ways for players to gain life in Life smp is really a great device for conflict and drama and we have seen it happen 3 times (as of Secret Life) but all in varying ways. and i think some of them did it bad and some did it good, and i think its important to recognize how each of their ways made the season better or worse, or how well they were integrated into the existing concept of that season.
We have Last life- players have a random number of lives and can gift them. Limited Life- players are constantly losing life but can regain it through killing others. Secret Life- rewards from completing tasks adds more health/life.
The way Last Life implemented this the first time turned it to having a pretty heavy social game. it wasnt just about asking someone for a life. Were you asking for a life because youre a poor soul who only got three? are you greedy sitting with seven and not giving them away? making bets, agreements, alliances... for a life? It is simple but created a new kind of vibe based on how people would try and get those lives from others. The boogeyman complimented it well, because it added a threat to everyone- not just that someone was out there coming to kill you but 1) you would have to put yourself at risk of death no matter who you were 2) threaten almost all of your lives being taken away if you failed 3) might come out of this needing to beg someone for another life if you do die. LL was my favorite out of these because the drama was built on social communication. no one was forced to get lives, people did as they pleased, some stuck to themselves and never gave or took a life. This was a great way to do it as it all depended on player's alone and did not leave ways for people to be 'overpowered', or left with way too many players at a high life count to where it was unbalanced. the boogeyman was a good way to cull the herd so to speak, and added tension for the killer and victims + reason for people to want lives because theyd die.
Limited Life imo is a very special one as it does the gimmick most differently and in such a specific way to its concept. and i think thats neat! i wasnt sure about it when i watched it my first time, because honestly it was very chaotic to track. but it works well for its specific setting. Limited Life did not use regaining health in a social way. Everyone was losing their life constantly. it created a different feeling to losing life and wanting it back: desperation. you cant stop it. if you dont kill someone to get your time back you will keep losing it. the jump in losing an hour versus standing around as the time ticks is significant once you get lower, and it hits more and more as time goes by. i think the initial chaos of it works with the theme of time as much as the actual technical in game side was messy... but it does what it should do. it fits with the time theme and creates a unique environment. players adapted to finding the easiest and deadliest ways to kill so they could get their time, creating the paths in the sky that spiraled more and more as time got lower. putting aside any technical issues ive come to appreciate the idea for how different of an emotion it evoked, and how differently people interacted because of it. while there was a boogeyman, basically anyone was a threat the moment they had the okay to kill, because everyone wants to kill, because theyd get time back and live longer.
ok i know i am a Secret Life disliker but i am here to criticize so i wont act like i have loads of good stuff to say. putting aside Secret Life's other random unneeded mechanics, the regaining of life/health was done as a reward for completing tasks. the immediate issue: everyone is expected to complete a task every single episode. that means everyone gains life/health. of course people get hurt and die through the season despite that but the fact is, everyone is guaranteed to regain something every episode and it puts no balance to it and no tension to the survival (and dont even get me started on keep inventory too). the series ends up focusing on the books being the Content and not the social or survival elements, and after a bit the rewards being items and health takes away a lot of in world interaction. because of the fact red lives were the hostile lives but people stayed yellow-green for so long because of the health rewards, there was no one able to 'cull' the numbers like with LL's boogeymen. theres bits of SL that had books hand pick/hand written for specific players or events and it was pretty obvious the balance issue existed when Gem had to carry out a purge to deal with it. i can recall a single time feeling anything about the ability to gain health, they didnt do it to make friends, they didnt do it out of desperation early on, etc. they werent even required to do a task technically, and there was no consequence health wise to that. there was no well integrated reason or drive and it was balanced very poorly.
i think the ability to regain life in some form can be a great tool for interactions in the Life series but you need to be careful and do it right. it is a survival game at its core. if you suddenly survive too easily then... whats happening? LL was heavily social focused while LimL was heavily combat focused. both were driven by fear of survival. was SL's encouragement to complete the gimmick driven by fear? truly? LimL used keep inventory but i warmed up to it making sense due to how many times people could die in that season each session. in SL it just minimized the stakes even more, gave barely any consequences to dying, and took away almost all anxiety around dying because there wasnt any 'starting over' to make it harder to survive.
i do hope going forward we wont always see some gimmick to make players stay alive longer. oddly it seems like they dont want the series to drag on but at the same time want it to be long enough for them to push more content..? in SL it felt like an after thought. if you get a reward why not get health? which made it backfire because it added up to being too generous. if "story" is to feel natural and realistic, there needs to be a drive for them to actually want more life over and over, and part of that is making sure its not overabundant. in LL there were only so many people with so many lives. in LimL there was only so much time before everyone eventually ran out.
anyways i love how these kinds of things can drive players differently but also need it in moderation. people can just keep trying to stay alive for no reason, in a survival series about dying. i dont want it overused and i think its neat to look back at previous examples

1, 5 and 12 for the drag race ask game? :)
Q1: I'm Filipino so it has to be one of the two DRPh seasons and I flip flop constantly.
S1 was amazing, the competition always felt fierce between the queens and they were firing on all cylinders minus the length of the episodes. 1 hour 30 minutes is insane and while the season makes it work, it hurts the seasons rewatchability.
S2 is an easier watch but there is a sense in the first half of the season of the producers scrambling to set up and conduct the season but around the middle of the season it finds its footing and becomes a top tier season. Also S2 has M1ss Jade So and on her own she elevates this season.
Q5: It would be wrong not to mention the Madonna rusical but my favorite is "Hi Arparporn", the rusical from DRT2.
Every single role gets the spotlight and has the chance to win and every queen sells it and performs the hell out of it.
I'd highlight in specific Vanda Miss Joaquim and Kandy Zyanide. Vanda didn't speak the language but still slayed and Kandy just chewed up and destroyed her role, she was amazing.
Q12: I feel like answering Down Under S1 is too obvious so I think I;ll go with UK4. (For context I've only watch US 1 - 16, AS 2 - 8, UK 1 - 5, Canada 1 - 4, Thai 1 - 2, Phil 1 - 2, Espana 2, France 2, Espana All Stars, Down Under 1 - 3, UKvTW 1 - 2 and CvTW).
It's not a horrible season. Objectively it's fine but there are certain things about the season that pisses me off and it commits the worst sin for me, it was boring.
Pixie Polite, Dakota Schiffer and Le Fil were all in some way overlooked or mistreated throughout the season.
Jonbers Blonde getting pushed to the top 4 was frustrating to watch espescially when the gap between her and the other finalists was clear.
By episode 4 the only queens who get a win are Danny and Cheddar. It was just kind of boring to watch.

Hello, if Armin had been as a route in mcul how do you think the process of dating Candy again would have been? If they did not have to be fixed in 3 chapters like AL. I hope I have explained well!
Hey!! You putting me to work those days, anon, but I'm having fun so-
I wouldn't really change much cuz to be honest their teasing kinda bitter dinamic is what I wanted since hsl and I am here for it, I like the idea they annoy the hell out of one another - but they can't get enough of that little game so they always come back for more.
Maybe they should just also have a really honest and ugly fight on the start, when they just vent everything. At the end of it, they will both realize that they we both BOTH wrong (forget the Disney thingy, they were just human, they grew apart and this is okay), and decide they could at least try to be friends - because BOTH will apologise for what happened, sincerely, WITHOUT kissing, we can do fight and then kiss later.
Even so they will still be at odds with one another, trust needs to be re-build for sure, so let them cook for two episodes or so (thinking that we have only 20 episodes to work here).
But then they will "bump" into each other, y'know, casually, not at all because Armin is chasing after her cuz he still have feelings for her and not at all cuz she realizes it and also starts to "bump" into him more often too.
From those they will realize how they still have feelings for one another, how being together is relaxing, how Armin more often breaks his comfort zone for her and actually likes to listen to her problems and worries, how after he makes her laugh and how that's precious to her. She will try to fight it. But he will break her defenses softly and slowly, understanding that it will take more than just words to make her realize he's being trueful.
I guess we can follow the main old story? Ep 10 first date? Then episode 11/12 deciding to date? We still have like 9 episodes for the relationship and then Love Life???
In love life I would ban the police all together, I swear, I cannot see another of my favorite getting arrested OR nearly getting arrested? Like, Armin, Rayan, Marius (Tears of Themis) STOP, do I have to ban the police for y'all to behave? But yeah, the police is ban on LL. I will allow Nathaniel keep his job because I kinda like the cop roleplay with Candy, we can be chill about it, but it's only him. OKAY maybe Eric too. What I don't do for the fandom?

NCIS: Los Angeles aired its final episode on May 21. One day later, fans learned that would not be the last time they saw at least one of their favorite characters.
LL Cool J reprised his role as Sam Hanna in the NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 finale, to help out Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and Kate Whistler (Tori Anderson) in Caracas. Though he offered further assistance, Tennant insisted she’d be OK. Immediately after the episode aired, CBS announced that LL Cool J will be recurring in Season 3.
But even before that, we couldn’t help but wonder if we’d see any of the LA characters again, especially since members of the three teams — in D.C. (NCIS) and Hawai’i — teamed up earlier in the 2022-2023 season. There are the other shows. There’s the possibility of a revival of some sort, especially given what’s happened with other shows. (Just look at Criminal Minds; it lives on at Paramount+ with Evolution.)
��I think that’s very possible. Since we have done a crossover, some of the characters have appeared on the other shows, so it’s quite possible that they end up making appearances there,” NCIS: LA executive producer R. Scott Gemmill said when we talked about the finale, but added, “That’s sort of, at this point, a decision beyond my capability.”
And would Daniela Ruah, who played Kensi Blye going back to the NCIS backdoor pilot episodes, be up for reprising her role? “Technically, I’ve actually played Kensi in two extra episodes from those that we’ve counted on our show, and then it’s actually a third one if you count Hawaii Five-0 as well. This woman is such a huge part of me,” she told us. “In regard to me showing up on another NCIS, it hasn’t been discussed, talked about, or looked into. Obviously, I don’t know. I guess I’ll cross that bridge if it comes my way.”
We’ll have to wait and see for now, but at least we know we’re getting more Sam Hanna!

1. Deception definitely.
2. Megatron all the way. He tends to be the more interesting character in most continuities.
3. My favorite autobot is Whirl. Love my crazy bird. A close second is Wheeljack, cause blowing shit up is cool.
4. Soundwave: Superior
5. This one’s a bit tricky. Right now perhaps Velocity? Either her or Náutica.
6. Arcee. She’s a classic and is a total badass. Especially in IDW and Prime.
7. Prime hands down. I love the animation, characters, and the action is loads of fun.
8. IDW 1 MTMTE. It made me laugh, it made me cry. I love it so much.
9. IDW, for reasons stated above.
10. Probably Agent Fowler from prime. The Burns family comes very close though.
11. My favorites are Brainstorm/Perceptor and Tailgate/Cyclonus. I’m also a fan of Soyndwave/Megatron in most continuities I enjoy. I’m a multi shipper in general though.
12. Honestly I don’t really hate any ships. Maybe anything involving Getaway, but I don’t really see that. I’m not like a super big fan of Starscream/Megatron like a lot of the fandom is though.
13. Hmmm… Perhaps Overlord. I don’t really get the hype some fans give him, and he killed some characters I liked too. Also I don’t get why people think he’s hot.
14. Getaway. Fuck that guy. He was rather well written but I still hate him for what he put everyone through.
15. There aren’t really that many neutrals in the first place, and I haven’t finished IDW 1 yet.
16. Of the shows I’ve seen it’s probably combiner wars. I also tried to watch beast wars but I got three episodes in and I did not like the characters much. Cheetor was annoying and I couldn’t stand rattrap. I’ve heard it got better but I couldn’t get through it myself.
17. I don’t really have one. Maybe Arcee’s first spotlight. At least they retconned it later.
18. I find the human villains of Animated to be boring and annoying. I’m here to see transformers not humans.
19. I really love Bulkhead. He’s such a great guy, but he doesn’t get enough love.
20. Overlord. I just don’t like him.
21. Cyclonus/Tailgate/Whirl. I love Cygate on it’s own too, but I also love it with Whirl.
22. I don’t hate Megatron/Starscream, I think it’s rather unhealthy considering their interactions, but a lot of people absolutely adore it.
23. Velocity! I love her design and her character but she’s not as popular as the other LL medics.
24. Do the Rescue Bots count? I love them so much they’re so wonderful.
25. Devastator is a classic. I like the constructions as a group and devastator is just a big version of them.
26. That newer blue and red one? I forgot her name. Just not a fan.
27. I want to hang out with Drift. He’s such a chill dude and he’s a great friend.
28. Optimus Prime is a fantastic mentor. Who doesn’t want to learn from him?
29. Getaway. Glad he gets eaten by Whirl’s scraplets.
30. I don’t like sparklings. I honestly don’t like young children in general, real or imaginary.
31. Rumble and Frenzy. The chaos gremlins.
32. Seekers. Fast Jets are cool.
33. I’d hope for something that flies, like a jet or helicopter.
34. I’ve got a knock off masterpiece Soundwave that’s really cool.
35. The only one I’ve played is devastation. It was a lot of fun though.
36. Probably IDW 1 or Aligned.
37. Bayverse.
38. I watched the live action movies and then found Prime on Netflix. I was hooked ever since.
39. Abso-fucking-lutly.
40. I would problem be super hyped and be hard to understand from how excited I was.

Now, liveblogging something that I do like :) [I decided to throw everything in a single post just because:)]
"you are here to play a game on which your lives depend" getting serious and we're just getting started ʘ‿ʘ
"what did you do to us?!" "nothing in particular" "then what is this pain?!" "I was very clear... in this game your lives are on the line" i kinda love Decim ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
"Sorry! My hand slipped!" [👁️👁️liar]
I had forgotten how dramatic this episode was [i kinda love it tbh]
.....
"of all the emotions that humans exhibit, which is the most primal?" "i don't know" "fear"
"pain is a part of this game"
"everyone makes mistakes. but people's feelings can manifest through the most subtle of expresions. you're an arbiter, don't brush them off"
....
i remember about this episode :D
🧍
"and so it starts.." "how so? what does that mean?" "nothing" (...) "as such, the two of them may not be facing a favorable outcome." "no way..." "however, whatever the outcome may be, we must accept what happens"
Decim my beloved showing his sense of humor🫂
"Life really is a mysterious thing... Each and every life spins its own totally separate tale, yet they become intricately entwined in each other and no one knows how they will end up" "that´s true, you´ll never know until you die... you may not even know after you die... but you know what? that´s what makes it interesting, right?"
I honestly don't know how to feel about this one, because if we ignore some details it could be considered cute, at least the ending imo but idk
....
Lady... what kind of tv shows are u watching? [I know she's confused and in denial but still]
"How is that fair?!" "Life is never fair. I´m sure you´re aware of that" Decim triggering trauma ◉‿◉
i didn´t remebered this episode at all and now i'm like o.o
this is the saddest one so far to me. am i weak? maybe
"You did everything you could... both of you... did everything you could." okay, now i'm crying...
why did i forget about this one?
edgy ed
...
i'm starting to realize that from ep 4 onwards my memories about this show are a blur (i´ll take that as a good thing)
yep, definitely a good thing that i didn´t remembered all of that, it made me go "wtf's going on here?" all over again c:
dude, do you really want to do that?
see? u got ur ass kicked and for what?
that makes sense i guess
oh we´re on Jimmy again
.....
wait, i do have memories about this one (not many but)
Ginti looks so done and the game hasn´t even started
mmm... if only you knew..
show off
no. what part of freezing to death is romantic to u? at least in titanic there was a love story before the freezing to death part
show off
u piece of trash
so this guy has feelings after all
such different ways to go
Claviz looks so excited about this xd
Oh wow, I was i hater during most of this xd
...
She remembered!!
Maybe he's not there much, buut i kinda like Claviz, he's just a little guy 🫂
"third: arbiters cannot feel emotions, for they are merely puppets" neat...
edgy ed makes more sense now
how are u still here?
...
"not that different" huh?
oh, it's over and i didn't write anything about this one... uhm... well... it was good...
...
"I bring out as much of the darkness in their souls as possible and take it in, then i pass judgment... that is what it is to be an arbiter" damn
oh now they're serious
PLOT TWIST
sir, u are disgusting
fuck, this guy is insane!
i hate this guy
nufofnhdiewwwwww *dies*
SHUT UP ALREADY
wowuwhihweeirundu *dies again*
this one was heavy...
...
i-.. i don´t have much to say
...
he's just messing with her, isn´t he? [I genuinely don't remember]
this scene is making my skin crawl afsydrs
i'm trembling idk how i survived this the first time
definitely one of my favorites
...
Decim... no... that... no...
cryiiiiiing agian
Deciiiiiim
THE MANNEQUIN, THE SMILE ಥ‿ಥ
it's 3 am btw i should be sleeping rn but instead i'm here sobbing
.....................
I love this anime so much ♡
I definitely recommend it!!! [If you are comfortable with the mention of themes like death of course:D, i mean it's called "Death Parade" xd]

Ok since this is where I post my fandom stuff now, I'm just gonna write it here. But I miss Sumikeke from LL Superstar so much lol
I just finished rereading one of my favorite fics ever about them and it's such a masterpiece. Still so amazing today. It contains so much yearning and feelings and depth that even though it's like at least 30k words long, it ends way too quickly and I'd happily read more and more.
It's not like I can't keep shipping Sumikeke now, but I was going through the tag again and another tumblr user put it really well: their dynamic and characterization was absolutely ruined in season 2, which is also why I felt really unpleasant watching it and had no idea how to react to the canon confession scene. It's nice that it happened at all, sure, but by that time, my love for the ship had already begun to fade (for reasons) and s2 seemed to just confirm my annoyances, frustrations, and fears.
I loved Sumikeke though. Don't get me wrong. I actually don't regret any of the time I spent on them at all, and I truly had so much fun indulging in this love of mine. They were great and brilliant, and I know people have different feelings about it (even going as far as calling it abusive :c ), but in my opinion, there was a method and an art to smkk that I tried to convey when I spent those times in college writing actual fanfiction for them lol.
First of all, and this is a big reason why I fell out of love with it, smkk is a bickering couple, but there's a line and nuance you need to have, otherwise it does turn abusive and boring and not romantic at all. When I first watched season 1, I was drawn in by how kind and gentle Sumire could be (big sister-like, taking care of Keke or giving her soft looks) and I latched onto that immediately. I dunno how fast it took to show up, but maybe by like episode 3, I was already eyeing them and wondering what kind of dynamic we'd have there.
As for Keke's antagonism towards Sumire, there was an obvious reason for that. Sumire was looking down on and using Liella to bolster herself, but to Keke, Liella and school idols were everything. It's a natural conflict that arises from people whose goals and opinions differ and who obviously clash over ideology and dreams. Keke would tease or snub Sumire, but it never crossed into actual bullying or anything, last I saw. Just the expected bickering between someone who actually might not like the other and Sumire, who knows she messed up and tries to make up for it, but it's fine if relationships aren't all sunshine and rainbows. Actually, I used to really love the tsundere trope and tsundere-like couples, so when I shipped smkk, I liked them in a more tsundere way. As the anime progressed, their relationship clearly improved and even had plot relevance and all that, and I was really impressed by all of it and fell in love and wanted to give back as a fan by making as much delicious smkk content as possible.
The method to the madness is Keke is childish, demanding, and even annoying maybe (I liked Keke tho lol), but Sumire loves her and since they're teenagers, they eventually grow out of such childish behavior/bickering but the fact remains that they love each other and it's really sweet and cute to see. Sumire was my fave Superstar chara (probably still is? idk), and I just looved her love for Keke and completely enjoyed coming up with story ideas that would showcase that. It's liking someone and having a crush on them even if they're kinda annoying but since you like them, you can look past that. It's that kind of love...!
But anyway. To be quite frank, the fandom ruined smkk for me, and I'm sad I let it happen. If smkk is like 50% arguing and 50% fluff (which is kinda a high percentage, I'll give you that), the fandom kicked it up a notch where it was like 90% arguing and 10% just deciding to make out after saying super cruel/dumb things to each other. I saw a lot of unpleasant things I really disliked (including straight-up immoral SA stuff) and I saw that my excitement from checking the tag eventually turned into aversion and eventually dislike/annoyance/irritation/frustration/anger.
Season 2 having them continue to bicker for bad reasons didn't help things and it felt like the anime was on the fandom's side in that regard. It's fine to give the fandom fanservice, obviously, but that's when I kind of lost interest for good and moved on.
But I truly had a fun time loving smkk, and it had so much potential and was so good. I really truly enjoyed it and that's why I miss it. I think with the release of SIF2 and seeing smkk in there, I was reminded a bit of my old fire (my old love), but in short, it's really unfortunate when fandom (or the show itself) ruins something for you.
I could say the same about my immense love of Shioriko and how I was really disappointed how they wrote and treated her (in the anime and side materials like Nijiyon too), but part of that's personal bias. The true Shioriko I like is probably SIFAS Shioriko and the other Shioriko's exist as their own entities, but since they're all supposed to be the same chara, it's hard to love her in the exact same way if you get what I mean, especially when I had such high hopes and expectations. It's ok though: such is life.
Anyway, I obviously like loving and affectionate ships a lot more than, like, bickering ships. Smkk was just special to me because when two girls act like that canonically, it's a lot easier to claim they're into each other or hiding feelings for each other. I also want to add that I liked the idea of Keke being embarrassed of her feelings for Sumire and that translating a bit into aggression-- obviously as Keke gets older or her feelings are reciprocated or her friends accept her for who she is, she gets less teenage-y about it.
That was a trip down memory lane though. I really care for LL, even though it breaks my heart sometimes. "Expectation leads to resentment", they say, so maybe I shouldn't expect anything at all?
I miss these girls and hope they get better writing. I'll still love yuri and shipping girls for as long as I live xD

OH COME ON MAN!!
I EVEN ASKED NICELY!!!
I said DON'T touch Ethan and Kali!!
And now I feel bad for saying you could kill Aiden, because he was super ready to defend Lydia and I'm sorry that I said I wouldn't care if he died, because I do.
I do care. I really really do.
So please heal.
Please don't be dead.
Somehow.
Magically.
Please be okay.
That said.
That WHOLE sequence, dude.
First of all, we f*cking stan Ethan so much.
That man literally took the initiative to come to our little pack for help so that his own pack wouldn't kill Derek.
Also, the way he grabbed Lydia and held her when Jennifer dropped in from the ceiling was so sweet. (Also side note: "I think he said he was going shopping?" We love you, Lydia. XD <3)
I love him so much.
SO HE BETTER NOT BE DEAD!
We also f*cking stan Aiden, because as much as he tried to deny it, he really does care about Lydia, and he was ready to fight his own semi-pack leader to protect her and I love him for that.
SO HE BETTER NOT BE DEAD!
And honestly, I just feel bad for Kali at this point. Even she didn't deserve that.
However, the WAY THAT WAS SHOT AND EDITED!
OMG!
With the glass being lifted off the ground.
And the hole in the ceiling highlighting the moon and the brewing storm.
The "I should've ripped your head off" right before the glass just shoots at her in shards.
And then my favorite part.
When that one glass shard shows the reflection of Ethan and Aiden finally forming into their big powerful Alpha.
Sooooo cool.
SOOOO well shot.
The cinematography in this show, I swear.
...except now I'm super terrified for Lydia, so that's freaking awesome.
Thanks for that.
In other news, Scott's dad can go to h*ll, please and thank you.
But I love all of the sass our three teens are throwing at him ("Mine are both dead"), because f*ck you, dude, we have bigger issues.
Way to get all of you out of there, Allison. We love you, girl. <3
In other other news, Stiles crashed into a tree and that's not okay.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO WIN IN THIS EPISODE GOSH DARNAT!
Update: THEY ARE NOT DEAD THANK GOD!!
(I mean, as upsetting as this scene was, the filming of it was INCREDIBLE. I wanted a gif of the reflection, but I couldn't find one, so this will have to do.)
#ethan steiner#aiden steiner#steiner twins#i feel so bad for them#i hope they're not dead#okay seriously though#who is the cinematographer for this show?#because d*mn#i'm gonna look it up#okay so i guess for these episodes#it's david daniel#but like#early season cinematography was good too#so we also gotta give credit to jonathan hall#let's appreciate our crew here#they do so much for this show#and like obviously#there's a lot of cgi in this scene#but the cinematography has to set up the shot#so that the cgi works#and david nailed it#anyways#teen wolf#teen wolf season 3#teen wolf spoilers#3x12#teen wolf 3a

Thank you for everything Toriyama-san ! You 'll forever have the entire art world on a chockhold T_T Your influence is immeasurable and words fail... I grew up waking up to catch Dragon Ball at 6am and tape it on VHS (sometimes over already filmed stuff). Always expected the episode Buu transforms everyone into cookies would continue but it was static.. was collecting the chessboard pieces that came with a magazine every week and talked about it w my brother some days ago T_T copying your mountains, palm trees, fabrics and majin vegeta.... no one ever will create such organic and fun mecha designs.. passed by a manga themed restaurant only yesterday and froze and screamed "AW!! GOKU EATS!!!" (a panel was on the wall)....... Im so sad... my morning was musicless save for my favorite opening of all times.... everything is close today so i cant get a volume to read where i am..... i'll close myself in later... i shall go and have a big meal in your honor and enjoy the last 2 hours of sunshine......... cant even begin comprehend.. this sounds stupid but seeing these pictures of you i can only think funny thing like.. your inimitable futuristic alien funk swag is eternal... <3
the year of the dragon took you from us... hope you are in heaven <3 :)))
