Which auspicious and nimousmiraculous would suit kagami, zoé and the honorable mentions(ali, chloé,aurore,juleka,kim and ivan)the most?
I don't have the Numinous down yet to say why they go where. I could roll out who I think would be good with what, but can't give exact reasons why.
For Kagami, Auspicious wise, she'd draw in the Horse as she does desire to make friends and have more freedom. Potentially could also draw in Rooster as she's infamous and that gets in the way of friendship too. Numinous... I guess Bee. It's going to have her working with others or be alone.
Zoe it'd be Rooster. Help build up a good reputation and discover who she is. Maaaaaybe Crane? Idk if she struggles with love or not, I heard it semi comes up cause she has feelings for Marinette? And maybe a crush on Scarabellea? I'm not sure, and it may not be enough to draw Crane in. Numinous wise, I'd vote Fox to work off being a skilled actress.
Ali... I guess just Horse for the Auspicious as he wants more freedom, which man this comes up along with rich kids. Kaalki's going to be so busy. Numinous... I'd probably vote Tiger, Snake, or Peafowl.
For Chloe, Bear as there are issues with her family, Rooster for her horrible reputation and personality, Crane for her lack of love, Spider for her lack of creativity (which she does semi want to be with her mom being a designer), and Mantis for her lack of wit and foresight. For Numinous, Bee, as it's now harder for her to misuse and more likely to kick her in the ass if she doesn't shape up.
Aurore... I don't know if she'd draw an Auspicious in. There's not enough details given if there's any quality of life improvements she needs. Maybe Rooster? SW suggests she had a bad reputation, but I also wonder if that competition was rigged against her cause there was so much Mirielle merch to be seen in that ep where the winner was to be announced that day. I only saw one thing to promote Aurore. So idk if she'd draw in any of the Auspicious. Same for Numinous. I would kinda vote Bee as I like the punny name Miss Sting, but that's not reason enough.
Juleka... maybe Fish. She is the first character we know is on the poorer side of things, for financial improvement and help, Fish could come in, but they don't seem unhappy with where they are financially so maybe not. They're also well off enough to own a lot of instruments so yeah maybe not. Uh... I guess Rooster to play off Juleka struggling to speak out and needing to get her voice out there. If she's going to be a fashion model she'll need a good reputation. For Numinous, I guess Tiger, Fox, and Snake.
Kim, given the little we have of him, Mantis is the only one I could say for sure he'd draw in. Numinous... nothing stands out to me. So probably nothing.
Ivan... I don't know what he'd get Auspicious wise either. I would've initially said Rooster cause Origins people are scared of him, but that got resolved so that's a no. His confessing to Mylene was resolved quickly so no on Crane. Yeah I can't think of what he'd get Auspicious wise. Too little info on him. Numinous... I guess Tiger? Idk.

Miraculous: Tales in the Opposite Universe (Inversed Personas AU): Chapter Two final part
This story is a fanfiction (Not an official script for an episode of the TV show). Some characters result from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir (original title: Miraculous: Les aventures de Ladybug et Chat Noir). It contains some original characters (OC) but they're fanon. All rights reserved to ZagToon.
Part one two three four five six
Their reactions are mixed. We can heard theses:
-Nino and Alya: Nino: "This dude is wonderful. If the Adrien we know was really cool like his 'twin', if he is capable to be cool with us, I would like to be friends with him." Alya: "This girl Marinette is so different. She is so sweet AND outgoing unlike the other Marinette from Fathom Academy. The crazy thing is there exists some other parallel worlds. There are our counterparts who living here." N: And Rou… About Wayhem ? Aly: After his confession, I feel… troubled. I must recognize… he is honorable (thinking) How ironic, I supported Lycène in the past. But now, I feel sad to our boy."
-Kitty Section gang: Juleka: "Same look. Same silhouette. But she's more beautiful compared to the Ice Queen we know. So rad !" Rose: "That's so crazy to see this girl is not emotionless. She's open-minded. She behaves just like most of us. I would enjoy MDC sometimes acts like her." Luka: "I feel their melodies in them. (smiling) They are full of surprises." Mylène: "These two (Marinette and Adrien) seem be in a date. Are they a couple ? Ivan: "We guess: Just like us two, Mylène." Mylène blushes.
-Nathaniel and Marc: Nathaniel: "If there exists another MDC and Adrien from another universe, there exists some other versions of ourselves from." Marc: "I guess. Meanwhile, these two counterparts are so different. Our other selves must be different too." N: "I imagine." Mrc: "And about superheroes ?" N: "Rouge Chance and Alley Cat are the protectors of Paris. Ladybug and Noir ,who have same superpowers as out two heroes, are the protectors of their own Paris too. That's fascinating." Mrc: "Fascinating ? Hmm… Yeah. I guess you're right, Nath." N: "Another thing: Have you an idea about a name for our two universes ?" Mrc: "Hmm… We would call them: Opposite Universes."
-Alix and Max: Alix (nervous): "Their stories from the two teenagers and other heroes are crazy. Parallel worlds. I wish I will never meet a possible dark version of myself. An evil alter ego." Max: "If I calculate probabilities of your theory, I can assure there's no chance it can happen. You're safe."
-Kim and Ondine and Socqueline: Ondine: "Another parallel world ? I hope our alter egos are a couple, Kim. And you could be a brave boy. Dymanic. Sportier. Athletic. Not exhausted. A champion." Kim (blushing): Do you think that about me ? A champion ? O: "Of course. And I feel you are capable of this." Fascinated by the Marinette's and Adrien's stories, Socqueline is thinking how could be her life in the two latters' world. Socqueline (thinking): "No matter where you came from, I guess you and Adrien are both lovers together. And you, Marinette, I'm curious to find out if you ans my counterpart are good friends. That makes me think our lives between MDC and I could be different for the best."
-Sabrina and Chloé: Sabrina: "What do they casually do in her their world ? I would like to know that." Chloé: "I hope these two aren't utterly ridiculous. (blushing) But sincerely, I don't think at all Marinette is ridiculous… Huh… Not bad about MDC. I like her, of course. The two parallel girls are… beautiful. But only our 'queen' MDC is perfect… for me." S: "You'll talk to MDC about that for an other day. I don't know she's interested by these parallel worlds' stories. She prefers the ordre and the safety." Chl: "C'mon Sabrina. I am certain my counterpart in their world is not ridiculous like me. I hope your alter ego is respectuous toward my alter ego. May we be equal friends. (thinking) Am I a queen according to this world ?" S: "I even hope your alter ego is charming enough for my alter ego making the latter proud of her." Chl (speaking lowly, cringing): "Better opinion: your alter ego is proud as my alter ego's sidekick. Heheheh !" S: "Have you said something, Chloé ?" Chloé startles. C: "Huh… Nothing, Sabrina. I like you, do you know ?" S: "Damn, Chloé. It will be fine. If I am rude with you it's for make you a strong and proud girl with sense of discipline. For prove to everybody you're not useless. You've already succeeded some tasks, right ? So don't be clumsy." C: "I swear." S: "Fine. And now, let's be quiet. Wayhem is going to talk again. For finish he had begun."
------
Holding the mic in his right hand, Wayhem makes the announce. W: "My friends. I express my regrets about the incident from earlier. We resume our rally: A police of robots is in project. And I have a guest from Fathom Academy to introduce to both you like I previously said. She was already late when Lycène had attacked Alley Cat and Ladybug. I warn you too she doesn't like the insecurity but she finally decide to come." In the crowd, we can see Marinette with Adrien, Cerise, Alya, Nino and Socqueline. Marinette (whispering to Cerise): "Is she the girl you spoked me about, Cerise ?" Cerise (whispering): "You'll see what does she looks like, Mari. I know her. She's a friend of mine and my beloved friend. Despite her personality." M (whispering): "Beloved… Friend ?" C: "She's already here. Let's go to listen her." The guest (who us wearing the Fathom uniform) comes on stage, she approaches behind Wayhem. The latter turns and shakes hands with her.
W: "I thank you for joining our movement." Marinette and Adrien are astonished and troubled to see the girl. The more amazing thing about the guest is her physical look: She is blue-longhaired and despite she has a burn scar on the right cheek of her face, she exactly looks like… W: "Can you introduce yourself, Marinette ?" Parallel Marinette/MDC (insensitive): "Of course. (to the public) Hello everyone." This is the Marinette Dupain Cheng's counterpart. The Ice Queen of Fathom Academy and alternately called by most of young Parisians: M.D.C.. M and A (simultaneously thinking): "Is that… her ?"
End of Chapter Two.

lovely ali @fairydyke-mothr tagged me to post 5 things i can't stop writing <3 i am not much of a writer beyond fics aka half formed fic ideas so this list will be a lil messy. i have the most stuff for ted lasso and svu but ill focus on svu here LOL
1. toxic WASTE eo like love confessions buried in the nastiest arguments ever. im sorry i just love mess. similarly, someone saying i love you and being hit with like "no you dont. die" or "i wish i didnt" also eo as the soulmates who should never have met ive blown apart my life for you and eo from every outside view being the two most infuriating people ever (as explained by kathy stabler to barba, and amanda to liv and to elliot). eo who became a swirling black hole that took everyone with them. i think its easier for me to write eo from like other character povs bc i didnt originally watch the eo seasons so theres always an element of like. ghostly entity elliot stabler coloring my perception of him And i find their dynamic really hard to put into words in like. an interesting way. theyre just insane idk
2. the olivia bensonism of right where you left me and her constant fear of being left behind + her pushing people away + single most important person in my life and you just disappeared i have a few different "i cant do this" lines written and this last ep has obviously only made me worse
i also have elliot getting offered a transfer back to rome and in a moment of pure insanity telling liv he'll do whatever she asks him to. and because shes Her she tells him to leave and hes like okay ? and shes like i am obviously lying what is wrong with you.
a lot of sad liv internal monologues about how she misses elliot every moment that shes with him
3. the girls are fightiiing my list of conversations amanda and liv have never had and my ongoing list of out of pocket things liv has said or done to amanda <3 mess ! and a random fight about kim that leads to kissing lol
also a list of random thoughts about liv and amanda when i was first figuring out their dynamic like "real canon compliant rollivia means fighting and miscommunication"
4. amanda taking eo matters into her own hands. she talks to stabler. a lot. and she yells at liv for not making a move after she finds out about the intervention. more on this as it develops.
5. girl. grief and parental trauma ! the mother wound chile ! olivia bensons slight obsessive jealous homoerotic hatred of other women in non professional settings ! this became a note about how she separates everyone she meets into a kathy stabler or a serena benson and uses that to inform her feelings towards them
uhhhh if anyone wants more of any of these lmk?

• 801 DIAS | BTS JIN AU •
AU onde Jin tem uma namorada e ela tem um surto após saber que ele vai pro serviço militar... e ainda não a pediu em casamento.
Portuguese version | English version
Pairing: Kim Seokjin x Original Character
Genre: Fluff, Comédia, Lovers [um pouquinho de Enemies], um tantinho de nada de angst ((porque eu detesto tristeza))
A/N: Apenas eu fanficando sobre ser namorada do meu UTT [e tendo um surto porque ele vai pro serviço militar]. Os capítulos são curtinhos porque 1. Era pra twitter e 2. Eu nunca cheguei a desenvolver ela mais do que o plot original, apesar de ter algumas ideias.
Postado originalmente no twitter, mas agora que ele morreu indefinidamente no meu país tô postando aqui também... Feliz dia da Independência!!
Anterior | Capítulo 18 | Próximo
Curando um Coração Partido
Hoseok e Jimin estão em uma operação de emergência para tentar ajudar Aurora a vencer a tristeza, mas nada oarece dar certo. Felizmente Seokjin sabe exatamente o que fazer para ser perdoado pela sua namorada...
— Certo, quem quer brigadeiro? — Hoseok perguntou, tentando animar o clima pesado na sala do apartamento de Aurora.
Ele e Jimin estavam decididos a ir fazer companhia para a mesma, apesar dos protestos, e tocaram a campainha de seu apartamento pouco depois de a conversa no chat do grupo ter terminado.
E a situação não poderia estar mais desanimadora. Encontraram a garota com o rosto extremamente inchado e vermelho - um indicativo claro do quanto a mesma havia chorado -, e com um humor ranzinza que em nada lembrava a amiga enérgica e amável a qual estavam acostumados.
— Você não sabe fazer brigadeiro, Hoseok — Aurora retrucou, encolhida sob um cobertor no sofá ao lado de Jimin enquanto fingia estar entretida com o programa aleatório que era exibido na televisão.
— Ow Sunshine! Eu realmente não precisava desse tipo de crítica agora — choramingou fazendo bico, Aurora no entanto, não esboçou nenhuma reação.
Hoseok trocou um olhar com Jimin.
— Rora... — começou o Park, afagando de leve o ombro da mesma. — Você sabe que estamos aqui pra te fazer companhia, certo? Não precisa nos atacar assim.
— Eu sei... Me desculpa Hobi — a garota resmungou, fungando e escondendo o rosto sob o cobertor para ignorar o olhar preocupado dos amigos. — Eu realmente não estou com ânimo pra nada agora...
— É pior do que esperávamos — sussurrou Jimin, se afastando da amiga e indo em direção a Hoseok com uma expressão nervosa. — Eu não acho que podemos resolver isso, hyung.
— Ela negou brigadeiro, Minie... Ela NUNCA diz não pro brigadeiro — o Jung respondeu, tentando manter seu tom baixo o suficiente para que a amiga não ouvisse. — Eu não sei o que fazer!
— Podem deixar, eu sei o que fazer — escutaram a voz baixa e levemente rouca, se virando assustados para encontrar Seokjin parado logo atrás deles, carregando caixas de comida. Enquanto os dois amigos estavam focados na amiga deprimida no sofá, nenhum deles escutou o som da porta do apartamento se abrindo ou o barulho nada sutil de um breve tropeço que quase levou todas as caixas que o Kim carregava ao chão.
— Hyung! — os dois mais novos, ainda surpresos com a presença dele ali, exclamaram, divididos entre comemorar a chegada do namorado de Aurora ou expulsa-lo do apartamento por ter magoado a mesma.
— A Aurora não está bem, hyung, ela está magoada com você. Não sei se a sua presença aqui é uma boa ideia agora — Jimin logo tomou a frente, dando voz aos sentimentos que percebera na amiga enquanto seguia o Kim até a cozinha.
— Sei disso, Jiminie — ele murmurou após um suspiro pesaroso, depois de colocar as embalagens que comprara sobre a mesa. — Mas eu também não acho que me afastar agora vai fazer bem a nós dois ou ao nosso relacionamento.
— Tem razão — Hoseok interveio antes que Jimin voltasse a manifestar seu ponto de vista, sabendo que o mesmo, empático como era, havia tomado as dores da amiga para si e agora as manifestava como se fossem suas. — Vamos deixar que vocês dois conversem e se entendam, mas por favor, hyung, tome cuidado com o que vai dizer a ela.
E assim, Hoseok e Jimin - este último, a contragosto - se retiraram do apartamento, deixando que Seokjin tivesse privacidade para resolver a atual situação de seu namoro.
Seokjin, no entanto, tinha dúvidas sobre o quão efetivo seria seu plano, já que, conhecendo Aurora como conhecia, sabia bem o quanto sua decisão de esconder a informação sobre o serviço militar devia ter magoado sua namorada.
Ele fez o caminho da cozinha até o sofá o mais silenciosamente possível, sentindo seu coração apertar por saber que o pequeno bolo de cobertores sobre o móvel era sua namorada. Poucas foram as vezes em que Aurora se sentiu realmente triste ou magoada ao ponto disso influenciar seu humor, e das poucas vezes em que isso aconteceu, Seokjin sentiu seu coração se apertar por saber que apenas podia envolver seu amor em seus braços para tentar protegê-la de um sentimento sobre o qual ele não tinha poder algum. Mas agora era diferente.
Aurora chorava por sua causa dele.
Com cuidado Seokjin se ajoelhou diante do montinho que o cobertor formava e o ergueu devagar, revelando o rosto inchado e avermelhado pelo choro. Ele sorriu, incapaz de não se maravilhar com o quão bela e adorável era a garota que tinha seu coração, mas o sorriso também continha uma melancolia da qual ele não conseguiria abrir mão enquanto não explicasse e demonstrasse a ela o quão arrependido estava por seu o causador de suas lágrimas.
Sua mão então, leve e trêmula como se tivesse medo de que a garota sumisse no ar, fez seu caminho até uma mecha de cabelo que estava sobre a testa da mesma, puxando-a para trás e sabendo bem que aquilo seria capaz de acorda-la de seu sono - apesar de suspeitar que ela não estivesse realmente dormindo - e sentiu seu coração disparar no peito ao ver as pálpebras se erguerem de forma preguiçosa, dando espaço para que as íris em um castanho escuro se focassem nele com o calor tão familiar a si, apesar de também carregarem um frio que fez sua garganta secar.
— Eu espero que você seja o Seokjin do meu sonho, porque se for o Seokjin de verdade, é melhor sair da minha casa agora... Antes que eu pegue a vassoura pra te colocar pra fora eu mesma — Seokjin foi incapaz de conter seu sorriso ao ouvir aquelas palavras ásperas e ameaçadoras que ressoavam de maneira tão adorável. Mais uma vez ele constatou que estava realmente perdido e condenado a passar todo o tempo que Aurora permitisse a amando, ou então teria que se contentar com uma eternidade desejando ter seu coração.
— Se você realmente me quisesse fora daqui, teria me expulsado quando eu abri a porta... E eu pensei que eu já fosse o Seokjin dos seus sonhos — provocou, rindo ao ver a garota revirar o olhos em desdém, mas não parecendo verdadeiramente incomodada.
— Você é... Quando não me esconde coisas que sabe são importantes pra mim e que afetam a nós dois.
— Eu não escondi nada de você, meu amor!
— Mas também não me contou!
— Eu não consegui!
— Por que não? Nós contamos tudo um para o outro! Eu te dei algum motivo pra não confiar em mim?
— Não é isso!
— Eu te impedi de contar?
— Não!
— Então por que-
— Eu fiquei com medo, ok?! Eu fiquei com medo de que você desistisse de mim!
Os dois se encararam com os olhos marejados. O silêncio parecia entalar em suas gargantas e Seokjin pensou por um segundo que talvez tivesse falado demais.
— Eu te amo.
Foi tão simples e ao mesmo tempo pareceu que o mundo havia deixado de existir. Seokjin sempre gostou do quanto Aurora era reconfortante por sempre saber o que dizer na hora certa, às vezes achava que fora esse um dos maiores motivos de ter se apaixonado por ela. E ali, naquele momento, ele sentiu que apaixonara novamente.
— E eu juro que às vezes queria não te amar tanto — Aurora choramingou, o fazendo sorrir ao ver o bico que se formara inconscientemente.
— E eu juro que às vezes me surpreendo por não saber que poderia te amar ainda mais — respondeu, sentindo-se sugado pelo calor nos olhos dela.
— Não sei por que achou que precisava sentir medo, mas acho bom que você entenda de uma vez por todas que não existe nenhuma possibilidade de eu desistir de você. Nem se você desistir de mim. Você quis namorar comigo, agora é pro resto da vida, Seokjin — Aurora apontou o indicador no peito dele, estavam tão próximos que ele tinha certeza de que ela poderia ouvir seu coração acelerado.
Sentiu vontade de beijá-la, mas precisava ter certeza de que havia sido perdoado primeiro.
— Me desculpe.
— Desculpo sim — Aurora murmurou, os cílios batendo sobre a pele de seu rosto de maneira lenta, antes de ela focar o olhar novamente no dele. Seokjin engoliu em seco, sabendo que a próxima frase selaria o destino daquela noite. — Mas acho bom você cozinhe pra mim todos os dias até que você vá pra lá, entendeu?
E então ele sorriu, um sorriso ladino que trazia consigo mil promessas de um homem completamente rendido ao amor.
— Seu desejo é uma ordem, minha dama.

Series Review: Sausage Party: Foodtopia is more cynical, irreverent and more than a sequel
Some things go unnoticed by some but not by others, the animation genre has come very far in recent years and went from traditional to digital, from classic stories to redefining with original ideas a product that was also exclusive for adults. In this case, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Hill, Bill Hader, Michael Cera, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Paul Rudd, Nick Kroll, David Krumholtz, Edward Norton, and Salma Hayek who joined a project in 2016 anime that would break the mold, while some liked the fun of its plot, others thought it was uncomfortable and inappropriate, and we are talking about Sausage Party. Its story based on an original idea by Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill was successful at the box office and was listed as the highest-grossing R-rated animated film of that year, this animated comedy film for adults, the work of giving life to these characters was run by Nitrogen Studios and its directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan were very clear about what audience it was aimed at. After talking for several years about a sequel, it is finally that in 2024 we can once again enjoy the adventures of Frank and Brenda Bunson in a series that follows the same line and parameters of its base material, taking things to a higher point. and of course more adult.
What is the series about?
After confronting the human race following the events of the film, Frank and his friends establish a haven called "Foodtopia." After a storm causes a massive flood that destroys their dream they have no choice but to partner with humans to ensure the survival of their race. Sausage Party: Foodtopia has new characters and is loaded with swearing, violence, and explicit sexual situations and philosophies about food and the relationship we as humans have with it, but it needs to be a little smarter when presenting broader situations that make references. to their source material, although the idea is good and we already know what their line is, this time they take things beyond the limit. This is a sequel that could seem unnecessary to us where there was much more to expose and more stories to tell with fun subplots with totally and completely cynical humor very American, mocking everything that has been considered politically correct, mocking many of current situations such as technology and the relationship it has with online food sales and deliveries in various services, but the most important thing is that it makes fun of itself. It is clear to us as viewers that this is not a serious work that takes things more squeamishly and wants to educate the public aware that thousands of tons of food are wasted every year, which in this case is the United States The main country where this happens does not think about how expensive its production and distribution is, it simply goes into the trash and while a meager percentage of this is what is donated to charitable institutions or ends up in the hands of homeless people, no no no, it is simply a series that amuses, entertains and leaves you thinking not about a moral message but about who came up with so many stupid things and why they show them this way. In this new plot, we can see the confrontation between a big orange with an evil smile faces Frank, Brenda, and all the survivors of the supermarket for the leadership of a new society of Foodtopia, this is a clear example that creativity can not have a specific limit, screenwriters Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffir, Ali Waller, Dewayne Perkins, Jennifer Kim, Laura Krafft, Jeremy Levick and Rajat Suresh are very clear that this must have a central story that also develop and present new characters, increasingly raising the sarcastic and ruthlessly cynical tone that characterizes it. If we stop to think for a moment what would become of this series or the movie if we removed all the swearing, irreverent sexual situations as well as the explicitness of its violence and restructured it for all audiences, the result would be a failure, every single thing in this food universe It is strategically planned to work as it is, each character has their personality and motivation to make this something funny or uncomfortable, advocating the maturity and judgment of its viewers. The idea that foods have little eyes, little hands, little legs, and the ability to think and reason things sounds extremely cute and at the same time falls into a very stupid cliché in which all this would be the perfect pretext to "educate" and "get closer" to the new generations who, rather than seeking a long-term benefit for the planet, only think about how fun it is to be a so-called famous influencer who can monetize what is simply stupid in their lives without contributing what is necessary to themselves or their social environment since Let's not talk about educating and self-educating themselves to become aware of things and the drastic changes that humanity has had in a very short time. It's hard to imagine what it's like for someone to spend millions of dollars to computer-animate an obscene parody of Pixar films. Sausage Party from 2016 has never tried to compete or be better, it simply is what it is, a film that criticizes both organized religion and that which presumes atheism, differences in race, color, and sexual orientation, conflictive world politics, political leaders as well as intolerance and homophobia, he shit on everything that he It seems that there had to be a limit within a false and ridiculous morality in the country that is hypocritically called a world power. Seeing several anthropomorphic foods again in Sausage Party: Foodtopia, it is inevitable not to make a comparison with the film in question in terms of animation, here we can see that everything apparently remains the same but it is not like that, on this occasion they have not only used traditional animation but They have also used artificial intelligence that together with a more polished CGI make this take on a completely different appearance and feel more real, every detail of how these foods should look has been extremely careful to look more human and less food creating with this a new universe where everything can be possible. A hot dog bun, a sausage, a marshmallow, a bunch of baby carrots, a doughnut, a taco, some grains of rice, a tomato, a banana, and a can of beer are just some examples of how this series is taking the lead. very high things and at a level in which very few would dare to compete and establish something that enriches the genre of computer animation, if we focus only on this then we can understand that each dialogue and each situation has a reason for being.
Amazon Prime Video already has 8 episodes of the first season, which are:
1. First Course. The food war is over. Food has triumphed over humanity, and now they are free to create their utopia but here nothing is as it seems.
2. Second Course. Frank, Brenda, and Barry embark on a mission to save the food they are holding hostage and prevent everyone from dying, Sammy fills his inner emptiness with a new art form: comedy but not everything is as it seems.
3. Third Course. Food pride is at its peak and they decide to organize the "Man on Fire" festival. Frank and Brenda must keep a secret from Barry, unfortunately, nothing is as it seems.
4. Fourth Course. A new currency forms a class system in Foodtopia causing discontent among different sectors of society that are now more defined and want equal conditions. However, not everything is as it seems.
5. Fifth Course. Julius the Machiavellian and very son of a bitch orange has gained more popularity in Foodtopia while Frank and Brenda fight to maintain control but not everything is as it seems.
6. Sixth Course. Election day is already in Foodtopia to find out who will be their leader, Julius against Frank and Brenda, but the problems they now have in their relationship threaten their chances of winning, and not everything is as it seems.
7. Seventh Course. Julius is now the new popularly elected leader and Brenda sets out to find the good that can come from her now dictatorship, Frank ties up some loose ends and discovers something that could allow him to return to save them all but nothing is what it seems. .
8. Eight Course. When things don't go well, Barry and Sammy are in charge of clearing Frank's name and saving Foodtopia from falling back into the slavery imposed by Julius' dictatorship, but not everything is as it seems.
Each of these 8 episodes is hilariously funny, let's be aware that this is a very intense product in which food celebrates each victory obtained in the fight to form a new society with a massive pansexual orgy, even beyond the sexual part and the many jokes in which food or humans are butchered for laughs, the series is much more than that. Each episode lasts approximately 20 minutes, but since not everything here is what it seems, it also has some flaws, the excess of characters makes each one trip over themselves in their attempt to stand out and have more time on screen, although their good Stories are lost in moments, their narrative, despite being agile, falls into comfort zones with easy and repetitive jokes that do nothing to contribute and much less to entertain, shameless mockery is very common but the nerve is so much that in moments it becomes boring and flat. The constant flirtation of admitting that the relationship that Frank and Brenda have begins with wanting a society free of the restrictions that have governed their lives for so long reaching the point of realizing that their initial vision is not so compatible with their current reality which completely unbalances the idea we had of them and the cause of their fight, the series goes so far as to betray itself by letting things just happen without justifying or having a more specific reason for them to happen. The best part that everything can have together is the fact that it is very similar and respects what the original film addresses such as religion and mental awakening, now adding the destructive criticism of society and how they have been built and evolved. Over time, we can see first-hand what happens when this incipient utopia knows the currency, the law of supply and demand, politics, tabloid propaganda, and the application of laws, this is exactly where all this takes sense and feels more inspired serving as an example that being a sequel series improves on its original. One of the strongest points it has is the direction of Conrad Vernon, in each of the episodes he tries to put everything in its place and make everything make sense without leaving aside that this first season is a self-contained mini-story which opens the possibility of having more seasons that address other topics with this same structure. The voice talent is provided by Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz, Will Forte, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Richardson, Yassir Lester, and Edward Norton among others. They do a great job recreating the acidic, sarcastic, cynical, and fun of each of the characters, providing a completely authentic character of themselves. The music composed by Christopher Lennertz has interesting pieces that contribute to making everything we see on the screen an authentic audiovisual spectacle, being one of the composers of the film along with Alan Menken, he does not fall into the comfort zones of using samples that remind us what they did together, here everything is newer with different chords for each moment and situation. In conclusion, Sausage Party: Foodtopia is more than just a sequel, it is a series in which you may or may not have previous background and perfectly understand what is happening, it is a clear and concise example that everything here has been strategically planned to have fun while allowing itself to make fun of everything and everyone, the result is more than acceptable for all those who are looking to see something different that can fulfill what it promises, it is more pleasant to know that its second season is already in development to premiere at some point from 2025. Sausage Party: Foodtopia is now available on the Amazon Prime platform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrmC2uJXsMM Read the full article

Somebody Fix This School Already
Another of my one-shots for Miraculous Ladybug. Includes more of my original characters that can learned about from my post Originals. Please support me by becoming a patreon of me. Thank you.
*****
"Can one of you explain to us how this place is even considered a school," Mason asked the class in front of him.
The group of visiting Greek students had been talking during lunch the day after the Zombizou apocalypse. Mason, Lena, and Apollo had been sent to Ms.Mendeleiev's class while Lyon and Vallia were in Ms.Bustier's. So the other three did not know how one of the sweetest teachers in the school had been akumatized.
To say that the three were shocked by what the twins had told them would be one hell of an understatement. So Mason asked the very first question that came to mind to the nearby class that his friends belong to.
"What do you mean, dude," Nino asked, confused.
Ms.Bustier's class was all sitting together that day, except for Chloe and her minion... I mean Sabrina.
None of the class really knew the other three very well. They only really heard some passing things from Aurore and Mirelle. Nathaniel had been told that the three were nice by Marc when he asked him.
"Well, from what we know, Marinette, Adrien, Lyon, and Vallia are the only ones not to be akumatized in your whole class," Apollo says. "The fact that your teacher has now been the victim to one of those moths makes it more of an anomaly."
"Butterflies, not moths," Marinette corrected.
"We're still not convinced about that," Apollo said. "But that may be more because Beautifly is a hero from our own country so butterflies do not come to mind when evil is being spoken of."
"Anyway, there just has been a lot of akumas from this school, and your class in particular," Lena says. "Even your principle has been akumatized."
They did have a point. Their class, alone, had Bubbler, Stone Heart, Lady Wifi, Antibug, Princess Frangrance, Vanisher, Refleckta, Horrificator, Dark Cupid, Gamer, Robostus, Evillustrator, Timebreaker, Volpina if Lila ever comes back, and now Zombizou. Even outside the class but still in school was Dark Owl, Stormy Weather, Syren, Riposte, Magician of Misfortune, and even the school fencing instructor as Darkblade.
Marinette and Adrien were probably the most aware of what the Greeks were talking about. Marinette actually kept a list of all akumas on her computer to keep track of them all.
"Even if Ladybug always fixes the damage done to the school, that doesn't always stop what has caused the akuma in the first place," Vallia said.
"I don't get it," Kim was confused.
"We figure that Ms.Bustier was not the type to really feel negative emotions, especially after what she tried yesterday," Lyon said. "I mean, Chloe vandalizes Marinette's gift for our teacher out of pure spite and she tries to give Chloe credit and say that she will think of both girls when she looks at it."
"Say what," Lena did not know about that. "Why would anyone on Demeter's green earth try anything like that?"
"It's Chloe being Chloe," Alix huffed. "Half the city has basically been akumatized because of her."
"From what I know, Nino and Max are the only ones in class that haven't been akumatized because of her," Lyon says. "That is excluding myself, Vallia, Marinette, and Adrien as we have not been akumatized at all."
"After how this guy has been basically feeding off of negative emotions for so long, that is an impressive feat to have never been a victim of it before," Apollo said.
"Hold on one second," Lena halted everyone. "I have one question. How long has Bourgeois been acting like a... um..."
"Spoiled brat," Marinette offered.
"Nightmare," Alya suggested.
"The biggest bully in Paris," surprisingly offered by Juleka of all people.
"All of the above," Adrien shrugged.
The class looked at him weirdly. Whenever anyone has anything bad to say about Chloe, he is usually the first one to defend her after Sabrina.
"I guess even the humanized sunshine has his limits," Mason snickered.
Adrien sighed. "More like Lyon really knows how to harshly, but necessarily, give someone a very needed slap of reality."
"Parakaló," Lyon said. Translation: You're welcome.
"What did you say to him," Marinette asked the icy teen. "Adrien can be as stubborn as Alya, and that says something."
"Hey," the Ladyblogger protested, making the class laugh.
"I basically force-fed him a few facts," Lyon crossed his arms, as stone-cold as ever. "Mainly how this girl enjoys making the people around her miserable and is always the first person to put them down."
"You probably needed more than that to talk some sense into him," Nino said. "No offense, dude."
"None taken," Adrien shrugged.
"Trust me when I say that when my brother verbally slaps someone, he doesn't hold back," Vallia said.
"It was just a few innocent questions to those like Marinette, Nino, and Kim that got my wheels turning," Lyon says. "They all said the same thing when it came to Chloe. They all shared a class with her for ten years and the girl has been a bully for all ten of them. Did she even stop when there is a psycho out there taking advantage of negative emotions? No, she did not. All for one simple reason. She. Does. Not. Care."
The class was thinking the same thing. That when Lyon gets icy, he really gets icy. It was one thing when Marinette and Alya would stand up to her, but Lyon took the cake when it came to verbal beatdowns. Vallia was not kidding.
"Do any of us even need to bring up the fire alarm incident," Lena crossed her arms.
That got groans out of everyone, even Lyon and Vallia. When Chloe had been the only one not to be punished that day, Mason and Apollo had to basically force Lyon to be cleaning on the second floor so that he would not shoot the brat with an arrow.
The Greeks were half-tempted to allow him. Especially since it was obvious to everyone that she had been the one to make the false call in the first place yet only got out of the punishment because her father is the mayor. The Greeks were sure that anything he does to make his daughter happy and so unpunishable would be considered abuse of power if anyone bothered to look.
"Has any teacher ever tried to actually punish her," Mason asked.
"Actually punish Chloe," Alix snorted. "It is more likely for Ladybug and Cat Noir to willingly surrender to Hawkbutt than for Chloe to ever be punished."
"I think most of us see akumas going after her as the punishments that she deserves," Alya said. "I certainly went after her when I was Lady Wifi from what Marinette told me."
"When I saw her being chased by a giant hairdryer, I thought that my birthday and Christmas had somehow both had been happening at that moment," Marinette giggled.
"I may have been the Evillustrator, doing that, but you're welcome anyway," Nathaniel said.
"When Sabrina was tormenting Chloe as Vanisher, that was certainly some karma coming back to haunt her," Ivan commented.
"From what Ali had told me, I managed to make her pretty repulsive when I was Princess Frangrance," Rose added.
"I would have paid so much money to see that," Kim laughed. "Especially after she posted that humiliating picture of me that got me akumatized as Dark Cupid."
"I wish I could have remembered Chloe's face when I made her look like me when I was Reflekta," Juleka said.
Each of the students that had been akumatized by the brat all shared their own similar thoughts. That they all wished that they could remember getting her back while they were villains, even if they didn't want to remember anything else.
"Hold it," Lena halted the class, silencing them. "How many of these akumanizations happened while on school grounds?"
Alya, Ivan, Juleka, Nathaniel, and Mylene all raised their hands. All of their torments by Chloe had happened at school, only Mylene's happening after hours though.
"So even with all of you being akumatized because of her bullying or abusing her father's mayoral status, no one in this school did a thing," Mason clenched his fists.
The silence was very telling.
"Unbelievable," Vallia pinched the bridge of her nose. "If anyone behaved like that at our school back home, they'd be expelled faster than you could say Olympus."
"Athena is most ashamed of them," Lyon says. "She is not the goddess of wisdom for nothing."
"It is not like we can do anything about it," Max wiped his glasses. "After ten years of Chloe getting away with her behavior and attitude, the odds of her changing or the school staff doing anything about her is about a quarter of a billion to one."
"Leaving the math to Max, I do still agree with him," Marinette said. "Chloe has always been like this and the teachers have always allowed it. They think that just because her mom left her and her father that she gets to act as horrible as she does with no risk of punishments or any sort of consequence."
"Why not do something about it," Lena asks. "Force a much-needed change."
"What could we do," Alya did not have a plan for once. "They never listen to us and we're just a bunch of teenagers."
"The best thing about being teenagers is that we grew up during this time," Apollo says. "So that means we know what needs to be fixed. The reason why those our age do better than their predecessors is that we have seen the problems they never bothered to fix because they are so set in their ways."
"There is a reason why people say that children are our future," Mason smirked. "That isn't some insane prediction that children will one day rebel and take over the world, you know."
"We... uh... we could all demand to be transferred to another class," Adrien suggested. "Like Ms.Mendeleiev's or something?"
"Would that even work," Mylene wondered out loud.
"If anything, so many students wanting out of the same class at the same time for the same reason should raise some red flags," Lyon stated. "Does this school have a Board of Directors or not?"
Marinette actually had a better idea. She pulled out her phone. There was a look on her face that even Alya was was a little scared of.
Fate chose that moment for lunch to come to an end. The bell rang for everyone to pack up and get back to their classes. Lena, Mason, and Apollo gave the class a look.
"Don't let adults make you think you have no power," Apollo advised. "Everyone has the right to stand up to a bully and to those that won't punish her."
With that, the three of them left, joining Kagami, Marc, and Ondine on their way back to class. Aurore and Mirelle were waiting for them at the top of the stairs.
"You, Greeks, don't hold back, do you," Alya rhetorically says.
"Alya," Marinette scolded.
"Just be happy that none of us are from Sparta," Lyon stated.
"So, what do you guys think," Alix asks them all. "Class or principle's office?"
They all got up as they put their things back in their bags. They were all looking between the two rooms.
"Now or never, right, dudes," Nino said.
"I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we have had enough of Chloe Bourgeois to last all of our lifetimes," Marinette says.
The rest of the class did nothing but nod in agreement.
*****
"You all want to WHAT," Principle Damocles yelled.
"Did you not hear us," Vallia crossed her arms. "We want to transfer out of Ms.Bustier's class."
Vallia proved that Gardens did not hold back even when dealing with authority figures. It was a bit of a shock that it was the Flower Princess saying things like that and not her Ice Prince of a twin brother. Not that Lyon's silence and ice-cold stare was anything less scary. If anything, it only terrified them more.
Ms.Bustier had also been called in when what they wanted had been made perfectly clear. Chloe and Sabrina were behind her, as the teachers did not want to leave the two students alone in the classroom.
"A...All of you," Damocles stuttered, the students nodding. "It...It isn't possible. There isn't enough room in the other classes for all of you, even separated."
"Then make room," Lyon stated as if it was that simple.
"Why would all of you even want to leave," Ms.Bustier asked.
Their teacher, soon to be former-teacher, did look hurt. The students felt guilty over being the cause of her feelings being hurt, but it was also her own fault for never punishing Chloe.
"I think it's quite obvious," Marinette says. "We want to be as far away from Chloe Bourgeois as possible. We are sick and tired of her bullying us and getting away with it."
The rest of the class all voiced their agreement with the bluenette. To say that the two adults were shocked would be one hell of an understatement.
"Just because you are all jealous that you aren't as rich or beautiful as me..." Chloe started.
"SHUT UP, CHLOE," they all yelled at her.
"You can't talk to me like that," Chloe took out her hone with a huff. "I'm calling Daddy to stop you all from being mean to me."
"Call him all you want, we don't care anymore," Nino yelled, shocking the class as he had never yelled at anyone before.
"You have been destroying our work, bullying, and insulting us for ten years and we are no longer just gonna lie down and take it," Nathaniel sternly stated.
"Destroying work," Damocles was confused.
"How have you not noticed," Marinette snapped. "What about last month when Chloe destroyed the children's book that Alya was working on about Ladybug so she could read it to her sisters. Or a few months ago when Chloe dumped all that red paint on a dress I was designing in the art room."
"Well..." Damocles tried, but Marinette was not done.
"What about last year when Chloe ripped apart one of Nathaniel's sketchbooks," Marinette continued her rant. "Or that same year when she stole, and then snapped, a CD that Nino made of his DJ music. Or two years ago when she stuck a bunch of Juleka's and Rose's pictures in a bucket of paint."
"When I first heard about her doing that, I started keeping all my spray paints in a locked box that's in my locker," Alix crossed her arms.
"Which I saw Chloe try and break into more than once but you refused to do anything about it even when I had pictures and videos of her doing it," Kim glared at the authority figures.
"She tried what," Alix yelled. "And you didn't tell me!"
"Hey, even with proof, they didn't punish the brat," Kim responded. "You punching her would not have helped, even though she would have deserved it."
"Chloe would NOT have deserved it," Sabrina defended her 'friend.'
"She would have deserved that and so much more," Alya glared at the minion. "The rest of us see akumas going after her as karma coming to bite her in the butt."
"She's worse than Hawkmoth," Alix said for the second time in two days.
"She's caused so many akumas that you can almost call her Hawkmoth's sidekick," Ivan says.
"The fact that no one in this school seems to care about her victims speaks volumes about the staff," Lyon said. "There were a lot of spoiled brats back home, but at least our teachers and headmaster punished them when the punishment was deserved."
"After all this, Chloe should have been expelled a long time ago," Vallia put a hand on her hip. "Just because her victims don't remember what got them akumatized doesn't mean that the act did not happen at all."
"She even effects what other people think about those that hang around her," Adrien finally spoke up.
"Adrikins..." Chloe tried.
"No, you are not going to steamroll me this time, Chloe," Adrien actually glared at her. "I spent so much time defending you to everyone, but you just used that to hang off me no matter how clear it was that it made me uncomfortable. People already had bad opinions about me before they even met me because you were my childhood friend. They thought I'd be like you. Marinette did when she saw me messing with that gum on our first day of school."
The mentioned bluenette blushed, remembering that she did think he was a spoiled brat like Chloe when she saw that.
"Sorry about that," she said quietly.
"No need to apologize, Mari," Adrien says. "But that doesn't mean Chloe's attitude did not almost keep me from gaining friends. I've tried to get her to change for years, but she seems to only get worse. Every day she bullies, insults, and torments everyone around her and all we get told is that we need to be the bigger person or that there is nothing you can do. There is EVERYTHING you can do. Give her detention, lower her grades when she forces other people to do her work, scold her when she insults someone, act like you are TEACHERS!"
By the end of Adrien's rant, everyone was staring at him like he had suddenly grown two more heads. This was Adrien Agreste, who people have called the Sunshine of Paris. He hasn't talked to anyone like that since... he's never talked to anyone like that.
"What Chloe does to Adrien can basically be considered harassment," Lyon said. "I had a girl once try what Chloe is doing to Adrien. One phone call later and she was slapped with both a lawsuit for harassment and a restraining order before she could say Olympus."
"The look on her face when our lawyer handed her those papers was worth more than an entire family's jewel collection," Vallia giggled.
"Maybe not worth that much," Lyon says, making his sister roll her eyes.
"The point is, we are putting our feet down," Kim said. "If you won't punish Chloe, then we don't want to be in the same class as her."
"She has already been the cause of all our akumazations, other than myself and Nino's," Max pushed up his glasses. "Taking in my calculations of Marinette, Adrien, Lyon, and Vallia never being akumatized, the result of Chloe being the cause of any of us being akumatized again is roughly ninety-nine point nine-nine percent."
"How does he do that without a calculator," Vallia whispered to Rose. "Or a supercomputer?"
"We have no idea," the sweet blond whispered back.
"Have I ever mentioned I hate math," Vallia shook her head. "I'll always prefer geology to geography."
"You just need to forgive Chloe," Ms.Bustier tries. "Set an example for her to follow."
"I can let the anger go but I will never forgive Chloé Bourgeois," Marinette said. "We shouldn't be held accountable for the stuff Chloé pulls because we have to be good role models. You've only been our teacher for four years but Chloé and I have been together for ten years. She's been like this for a decade and nothing has ever changed."
"It's because of people like you," Adrien says. "Adults like you who look at Chloé and think her mother leaving her is enough of an excuse to act like a horrible person. You're better than the people who just want to be on her dad's good side, but not by much. You keep giving her second chances when she's already gotten long past the point of no return. You're enabling her behavior instead of punishing her even when she's been bullying everyone for years. Even I know that and I only started public school this year."
"Now, I wouldn't say bullying," Mme. Bustier says, trying for a smile. "That's a bit too far."
"She's been the biggest bully in the entire school," Alya says, arms folded, eyes firm. "We told you how she destroyed Nathaniel, Juleka, Nino, Marinette's, and my work several times. She's vandalized everyone's work. She's insulted and personally attacked every person in class too many times to count. There's always evidence and several witnesses every single time."
"But what have you done? Nothing," Nino took his turn to rant. "You've never once stepped in because you coddle her and think she'll eventually change even though she's proven she is never going to change . And do you want to know why? Because of stuff like this. Chloé vandalized the purse Marinette made you out of pure spite yet you had the nerve to try and give her credit for it."
"You want us to fix Chloé when you should be doing that yourself," Marinette took the baton. "Instead of doing something a responsible teacher would. Like, suggest a counselor work with her, talk to her dad, or detentions when she acts like a horrible person. You throw the people who care and respect you under the bus. Beyond preaching about love and trust, you do nothing to help us deal with Chloe. Chloe doesn't respect anyone but herself."
"The akuma that turned you into Zombizou was only even here because it was most likely going after Marinette," Lyon was not happy when he figured that out. "We can add nearly getting the human embodiment of a cinnamon bun akumatized to her already very long list of bad things she's done."
"We are the victims of Chloé Bourgeois's bullying and you expect us to understand and excuse her behavior when she hurts us," Marinette continued. "But you will never think about it from our perspective and never when this is reversed. We're sorry, Ms.Bustier, but we don't want to be a part of a class with a teacher who has no respect for us and continues to let a bully hurt every single one of us."
Silence washed over the room after they were all finished. They were all just so done with the brat of Paris.
"Now that you have all gotten that off your chests, I find that it is time you all go back to class," Damocles tells them.
There were about five seconds of silence for the students to process what their principle tried to just make them do. They were about to blow their tops and start yelling and saying that he had lost his mind if he thought that just because they said all that means that they want to get away from Chloe any less than before.
But Marinette's mother, Sabine, came walking in. The look on her face and the way she simply sat down in the visitor's chair like she was supposed to be there in the first place was a little terrifying.
"You, kids, should go and wait in Ms.Bustier's classroom," she told them in a sweet voice that brought chills down their spines. "Your principal, teacher, and I have much to discuss."
They did as she said, everyone quickly leaving the office.
Seeing her mother like that made Marinette remember a time a few years ago when she was told about the Chinese zodiac. Her mother had told her that she, herself, had been born in the years of the tiger. Marinette never truly believed that until now.
"Marinette, your mother is awesome," Alya cheered. "How did she even know to come?"
"At that exact moment, too," Nino says. "That was perfect timing if I have ever seen it."
Marinette smirked as she held up her phone, that she had brought put earlier.
"My parents were listening the entire time we were in there," she snickered. "I figured that Principal Damocles wouldn't listen to us, so I brought out the big guns."
"After seeing your mother's wicked skills with a baking slab during that one time someone tried to break into the bakery last month, I do not doubt that," Vallia giggled.
Marinette slightly shivered as she remembered the beatdown that her mother delivered against a man that tried to rob their bakery. He had arrived just after closing time after nearly a week straight of having a line out the door after the debut of Marinette's Ladybug and Cat Noir baked goods line.
The robber thought that after such a long time of good days, they would have a lot of money lying around. While they did, he had no idea of her mother's past of being very well trained in the martial arts. She grabbed the nearest thing to her, a baking slab used mostly by pizza makers to put pizzas in their ovens, and he was a bloody mess on the floor by the time the cops came.
When Marinette put her phone away, the rest of the class seemed to catch on to her actions and decided to add their own pressure to the principal.
Alya whipped out her phone with a speed that only all of her blogging would have given her. Mylene was very theatrical with her phone call, doing a lot of talking with her hands as her arms waved around as she spoke. Rose and Nino were also quite enthusiastic with their phone calls, not that anything less was expected out of them. Ivan, Juleka, Nathaniel, and Max were a lot quieter when they made their calls. Kim and Alix, of course, were basically yelling into their phones.
When Marinette looked at the twins and Adrien, their phones were not out. It made sense with the twins, having told them that their dad, who came with them, did not speak any French. He was usually very confused whenever they went grocery shopping and one of the twins always had to come with him as a translator. With Adrien, with his very absentee father and non-family bodyguard and assistant/manager, he had no one to call for something like this.
"If you want, I could drag your father here by his hair," Lyon says to the blond. "Or threaten him with an arrow to get him here."
"Lyon, as much as I would appreciate that, both of those things are illegal," Adrien sighed, but Marinette could tell that he was tempted.
"Hasn't stopped me from threatening Chloe with my bow before," the Greek boy smirked. "And that was only when I had a very long breadstick notched in it, not even an actual arrow."
"As the daughter of a baker, I can tell you just how dangerous a stale piece of bread is," Marinette giggled.
One by one, other parents and guardians of their classmates came running or walking into the school.
Otis and Marlena Césaire were the first ones there. Otis was too angry to greet the kids, but Marlena happily gave her daughter a basket of food to give out before both parents vanished behind closed doors. Fred Haprèle, easily recognized from his movie roles, tipped his signature hat to the class before entering the office. Claudie Kanté was next to arrive, giving her son a hug before vanishing behind closed doors. Mr. Kubdel arrived with Jalil, both men looking angry as they passed the class, but Alix was given a thumbs up from her brother.
Mr.LêChiến, a military man, was very intimidating as he walked by after giving his son a pat on the back. It was very easy to see where Kim got his strength from. The same could be said for Ivan as Mr. and Mrs.Bruel greeted their son, as both parents could be compared to WWE superstars. Rose's mother, a keen gardener, was as bubbly and kind looking as her daughter and it was easy to see where Rose got her love of pink from. Mrs.Lahiff did some motherly things to her son after she arrived, also telling Marinette and Alya that they were welcome anytime before she too went into the office.
Madam Kurtzberg, Nathaniel's grandmother, was last to arrive with Captain Couffaine. Luka, having come with his and Juleka's mom, helped the elderly woman up the stairs.
"Rise and rebel, land lovers," Captain Couffaine cheered in the students as she passed them, making her two kids slightly embarrassed.
Luka just joined them in the classroom, sitting next to Marinette.
"All Juleka would say was to come to the school as quickly as possible and to not allow mom to bring her sword," he said.
"If I was Juleka, I would have let her bring her sword," Vallia snickered.
"Considering that I've seen you use your bo staff against an akuma, I can see why you would," Adrien said.
"You two have slight violent tendencies, don't you," Alya asks, only getting shrugs in response.

So, as you can see, we now have an avatar, one that started as a pen-sketch, was coloured in pencil crayons - twice - to failure, until I spent an hour looking for a digital colouring App... and another 8 hours and 42 minutes making this picture. This was a lot of hard work. I hope it shows.
I should probably add: I coloured everything within this picture by paintbrush, not by bucket, because the lines weren't clear. And I only used my INDEX FINGER TO DO THIS ENTIRE THING. So, yes, I'm gonna be fucking proud about it!
Working on it
At the moment, I’m working on both an icon and a background for this page; I want to colour it, myself, traditionally, so it will take time. Forgive the mess!

Their parents have deep rooted issues with their own parents so they have a hard time showing how proud they are of their children
Because of this, Yvette and Jordyn have superiority complexes and put others down so they can feel like winners. Chanel is often their go-to
Chanel wasn’t noticed a lot by its’ parents because of their jobs and it didn’t have many friends
Aurore was their first friend and is a product of ‘The Aurore Effect’
Yvette and Jordyn can be assholes, always putting it down, but they supported their sibling when it came out.
Has called Lila out, gets threatened, but still calls her out because it has the class backing it up.

Squid Game: Best of the Cast’s Shows and Movies to Watch
https://ift.tt/39n8nzK
This Squid Game article contains some spoilers, though not the outcome of the game.
There are so many things to like about Squid Game, Netflix‘s Korean-language series about a group of desperate people competing in a deadly game, but one of the major ones is the stellar cast. Featuring some well-known Korean actors, as well as some relative newcomers to the acting scene, Squid Game‘s ensemble is more than ready to elevate the clever script and sharp direction. If you’re interested in checking out other projects from this cast after finishing Squid Game, here are our recommendations!
Lee Jung-jae (이정재) as Seong Gi-hun
Squid Game character: Leading the cast of characters is Lee Jung-jae’s Gi-hun, a man who has fallen on tough times after losing his job and his marriage. We are first introduced to Gi-hun in the context of his gambling addiction, as he desperately trues to get out of crippling debt in order to be a better father, son, and friend.
What to watch next: Lee Jung-jae is a 48-year-old actor who began his career as a model before transitioning into TV and later film. Notable projects include Il Mare, the 2000 film on which Hollywood’s The Lake House was based and 2013’s historical drama The Face Reader, in which Lee has second-billing as Grand Prince Suyang.
Jung Ho-yeon (정호연) as Kang Sae-byeok
Squid Game character: Jung Ho-yeon plays Kang Sae-byeok (aka the one who looks like ENHYPEN’s Ni-ki), a North Korean defector who decides to play Squid Game in order to get the money to get her mother out of North Korea and to create a stable life for her younger brother, who is currently living in an orphanage.
What to watch next: Jung Ho-yeon will no doubt be one of the breakout stars of Squid Game. The 27-year-old actress is a successful model, and has previously appeared on Korea’s Next Top Model. Squid Game is her first on-screen role, so we’ll have to wait to see what she does next. In the meantime, you can rewatch Squid Game or check out Season 4 of Korea’s Next Top Model.
Park Hae-soo (박해수) as Cho Sang-woo
Squid Game character: Cho Sang-woo grew up with protagonist Gi-hun, and is the success story of his neighborhood after going to a prestigious university and making it big as a businessman. Unbeknownst to Gi-hun and Sang-woo’s mother, Sang-woo has stolen money from his clients and is wanted by the police. He enters Squid Game in an attempt to make back the money so that he can save his mother’s business and house, both of which he risked to back his illegal activities.

Squid Game Ending Explained
By Kayti Burt
TV
Squid Game: What Could Season 2 Look Like?
By Kayti Burt
What to watch next: Park Hae-soo is a 39-year-old actor who is perhaps previously best known, especially to international audiences, for his starring role in 2017’s Prison Playbook (one of our Best Korean Dramas to Watch on Netflix). In the drama, Park plays a baseball player who unexpectedly lands himself in jail days before his major league baseball debut. The show follows his life within prison, along with the lives of other inmates and guards, including his former best friend, who is now a corrections officer. Prison Playbook is one of the most popular K-dramas ever.
Wi Ha-joon (위하준) as Hwang Jun-ho
Squid Game character: Wi Ha-joon plays Hwang Jun-ho, who is a bit of an outlier character in a series that mostly features characters in the game as protagonists. Unlike Gi-hun or Sang-woo, Jun-ho is a cop who is investigating Squid Game after finding one of the game’s calling cards in his missing brother’s apartment. He does a pretty good job too, infiltrating the operation in diverse ways.
What to watch next: Wi is a 30-year-old actor with a solid filmography. If you’re a horror fan, check out Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, a 2018 found footage horror film that takes place in the former Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, considered to be one of Korea’s most-haunted places. You could also check out Midnight, a 2021 thriller in which Wi plays a serial killer. If you’re looking for something a bit softer, Wi has a supporting role in 2018 romantic drama Something in the Rain, in which he stars as one protagonist’s younger brother and the other protagonist’s best friend.
Oh Young-soo (오영수) as Oh Il-nam
Squid Game character: Oh Young-soo plays Oh Il-nam, the oldest contestant in Squid Game, and someone Gi-hun feels some responsibility for as the game progresses.
What to watch next: Oh Young-soo is a 76-year-old actor with a filmography that mostly includes monk roles. His previous work has mostly included playing supporting roles, but if you want to see him in something else, check out 2003 feature film A Little Monk, about a generation of three monks living in one temple, or Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring, a 2003 film about the life of a Buddhist monk.
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
Heo Sung-tae as Jang Deok-su
Squid Game character: Heo Sung-tae plays Jang Deok-su, a gangster who enters Squid Game to settle his gambling debts, and who refuses to trust anyone in the process.
What to watch next: Heo Sung-tae is a 43-year-old actor with an extensive filmography. If you’d like to see him in a very different project, check out Racket Boys, a recent Netflix K-drama in which he appears as the coach of a boys badminton team in Episodes 10-12. If you’d like to see him in another dastardly role, check out 2021’s Beyond Evil, in which he plays a cold-blooded businessman.
Kim Joo-ryung (김주령) as Han Mi-nyeo
Squid Game character: Kim Joo-ryung stars as Han Mi-nyeo, a woman who will say or do whatever she has to in order to find her best chance at winning. Originally introduced claiming to be a new mother, we never actually learn that much about Mi-nyeo’s life outside of the game.
What to watch next: Kim Joo-ryung is a 45-year-old actress with an extensive filmography, though mostly in supporting roles. (Hopefully, her impressive turn in Squid Game will lead to more opportunities for the actress.) If you’d like to see her in a minor role in a successful drama, Kim appears in Episodes 16 and 17 of 2018 historical drama Mr. Sunshine. If you’d like to see Kim in a central role, check out 2012 feature Sleepless Night, in which she plays one half of a married couple working to get through daily life.
Tripathi Anupam as Abdul Ali
Squid Game character: Tripathi Anupam plays Ali, a 33-year-old Pakistani man who joins the game in order to get the money to support his family, including his parents and brother back in Pakistan and his wife and baby son, who traveled with him to Korea.
What to watch next: Tripathi Anupam is a 32-year-old Indian-born actor, who is another standout in Squid Game and a rare actor of non-Korean descent in the Korean TV and film industry. Anupam had a small appearance in Netflix’s Korean sci-fi feature Space Sweepers, in which he appeared as James Sullivan’s secretary. Most of Anupam’s previous roles have been minor, with Squid Game being a breakout role for the actor.
Lee Yoo-mi (이유미) as Ji-yeong
Squid Game character: Lee Yoo-mi plays Ji-yeong, a young woman who we find out entered the game immediately after having been released from prison for the crime of killing her abusive father. She becomes close with Sae-byeok, who recruits her to join her team for tug-of-war.
What to watch next: Lee Yoo-mi is a 27-year-old actress who has appeared in many TV shows and films, mostly in supporting roles. If you’d like to see her in another drama, check out 365: Repeat the Year, a time travel drama that sees 10 people given the chance to travel back a year to “reset” their lives, only to find themselves in danger.
Gong Yoo (공유) as The Salesman
Squid Game character: Gong Yoo appears in a minor role as The Salesman, aka the man who recruits Gi-hun into Squid Game by playing a game of ddakji with him on the subway
What to watch next: Gong Yoo is a very successful actor in Korea who is also known internationally. The 42-year-old actor’s most well-known movie role is Train To Busan, in which he stars as the divorced father and businessman protagonist trying to escape the zombie apocalypse on a high-speed bullet train. His most well-known TV role is in the uber successful Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, one of the highest-rated dramas in Korean TV history. In it, he stars as a 939-year-old immortal goblin and protector of souls. Longtime K-drama stans, however, probably know Gong from his starring role in Coffee Prince, a romance about a woman pretending to be a girl in order to get work and a young food empire mogul, played by Gong.
Lee Byung-hun as The Front Man, aka In-ho
Squid Game character: Lee Byung-hun plays the Front Man, aka the masked man who runs the day-to-day operations of Squid Game. He lives in a fancy apartment within the game’s facility, and maintains contact with the game’s supervisors via a landline.
What to watch next: If you’re looking to see more of Lee Byung-hun’s face than Squid Game offers, then you have a lot of options. The 51-year-old actor and singer has been a part of the Korean entertainment industry for decades, and has been one of the most successful Korean actors in that time, with five films on the 50 highest-grossing domestic films in South Korea list: Joint Security Area; The Good, the Bad, the Weird; Masquerade; Inside Men; and Master.
Lee is the only Squid Game actor to have some substantial Hollywood credits on his filmography as well. American audiences may recognize him from his role as Storm Shadow in the G.I. Joe franchise; he has also appeared in Red 2, Terminator Genisys, and The Magnificent Seven. A member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, he was the first South Korean to present an Oscar at the Academy Awards.

Star Trektrospective:Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country
Next on the Trek reviews is Star Trek VI ......Which is my second favorite/perhaps most favorite Trek movie
Plot :PEace seems to be on the horizon between the Federation and the Klingons ,which Kirk(William Shatner) is uneasy about ,however when high ranking Klingon official ,Chancelor Gorkon (David Warner) is assassinated ,and Kirk and McCoy (DeForest Kelley ) are accused by General Chang (Christopher Plummer ) it is up to Spock(Leonard Nimoy ) and the Enterprise crew to find the true identity of the assassins
So this movie is great .Its basically a political thriller just in space.It is very tense with some good twists and turns.I also like that the film has multiple villains,with a twist villains and a traditional scenery chewing heavy who is our main focus
The direction in this film is great ,by returning director Nicholas Myer .The film had to cut costs (Using a lot of sets from The Next Generation and models from previous films ) but yet its one of the most cinematic looking Trek movie,with an excellent use of shadows ,and there is also some brilliant editing
Now this is a very political film by design.Yes there is the obvious allegory about the fall of the Soviet Union ,which I think works,the Klingons were originally stand ins for the Russians(Before becoming Viking Samurai in later iterations ) and frankly I dont think allegory must always be subtle ,and it makes for a good story.The other political aspect is just the main thrust of the story....It is about changing times and really the fear of change ,as well as prejudice .A thing I really like about the film is while the villains are definately preguidced ....So are most of our heroes ,especially Kirk,and they must grow ,they have to accept change .Plus I just like that our heroes ARENT paragons ,they have all too human flaws they must overcome ,which is refreshing after last movie,where Kirk is right all the damn time
Lets dive into the cast .....And where do I start .This film is loaded with great performances from W Morgan Shepherd as a Klingon warden,Kurtwood Smith bringing strength to the Federation President , Michael Dorn gets a fun small role as the grandfather of his character Worf from The Next Generation and Deep Space 9,and even a cameo by Christain Slater (Also have to point out in some versions of the film Rene Auberjunois has a role too,but not in the DVD version I watched for this review.I only bring him up cause a few years later he would really make his mark in Trek as Odo in Deep Space 9 ).
So before we get into the really important characters.....I need to discuss a character who doesnt quite work for me :Valeris .She is a Vulcan protégé to Spock and yeah she is a stand in for Saavik ,but they couldnt get Kirstie Alie and no one asked Robin Curtis ,so they made up this new character .Now she is not a bad character ,she is played by Kim Catrall who is a very talented performer ......But the fact she is clearly supposed to be Saavik,mixed with her place in the story ,combined with the fact she doesnt feel that Vulcan ,I dunno she doesnt work for me .
As for the rest of the new characters they are all great :Rosanna DeSoto brings a strength to Gorkons daughter Azetbur ,and Iman is wonderful as the shapeshifting inmate Martia .David Warners casting as Gorkon is inspired ,for Warner is most well known for playing villains,and one would assume a Klingon (The big bad guys of early Trek ) played by Warner would be a villain....And yet Warner brings a warmth and wisdom to Gorkon ,making it clear he is a good man with noble asperations,tragically assassinated for his views ,Warner is so great in this role I wish he was in the movie more .
Now lets get to our villain ,the General Chang played by Christopher Plummer ,who is an utter delight . One it is really cool to see an actor as great as Christopher Plummer in a role like this,adding a bit of gravitas and intensity to this Klingon Warrior who has his own agenda ......While also clearly having a ball . There are moments where he is legit menacing ,but other times where he is just gobbling up scenery ,especially during the climax .Added awesomeness : The role was written for Plummer ,a well respected Shakesperian Actor (PRobabbly most notable for his protrayal of Hamlet ) ,so Nicholas Meyer made Chang a Shakespeare fanboy ,so we get Christopher Plummer as a Klingon SCREAMING Shakespeare qoutes mid battle and it is glorious .He's just a really awesome bad guy and one of my favorite Trek villains.I honestly wish he was in the film more
As for returning characters we get Mark Lenard being awesome as always as Spocks father Sarek ,John Shuck reprises his role as the Klingon Ambassador from Star Trek 4 bringing a hammy flare to it ,and the always amazing Brock Peters is excellent as Admiral Cartwright ,also from 4 ,with an expanded role in the story,though I wish he had a bigger role in the story . Also without giving away plot stuff , I should not Peter role is a direct refrance to his performance in To Kill A Mockingbird
As for the Enterprise crew.....This is the best use of them .SCotty,Chekov ,Sulu and Uhura all get a chance to shine (With Chekovs big moment being friggin hilarious ) and they all are working together to solve the mystery .Hell Scotty and Sulu help save the day near the end.I especially like the fact SULU IS A CAPTAIN NOW ,THATS JUST AWESOME
The core trio are great ,with Bones having some great moments (I especially like him cracking a joke that makes the Klingons laugh during his trial ). Shatner gives a phenomenal performance ,with one bit of bold acting that is actually kind of chilling and he has an amazing arc through the film .However I think this is Leonard Nimoys best performance in the movies,as this is really the end of Spocks arc that has spand well 25 years,he has gotten to the point he is not afraid to embrace his human side ,he really takes charge in this film ,and there is a powerful moment where Spock actually briefly shows his anger
So I do have one scene I dont like though in the movie where the heroes do something....Dubious.Now I dont mind the heroes doing something dubious ,but this specific thing is VERY unfcomfortable and feels like a line .I dunno it doesnt work for me
If I have any other gripes....I'm not a fan of the alien makeup ,they just dont look that good .....However the acting is good,the plot is good the effects are good ,it looks good ,the music is good,its overall a good movie
Also I must admit due to it being the final adventure with the TOS crew,and with the final scene combined with the way the credits are handled.....I get a little choked up watching this one
Overall I love this movie,I think it is a truly great movie ,and up there with Wrath of Khan
