just finished prodigal son season 1 here’s some thots and feelings

yesssss unhinged women….. yessss deranged berserker women…. the father’s daughter and the mother’s son that’s the Good Shit!!!

the show’s not good. stylistically, aesthetically, ethically, or otherwise. objectively mediocre. the writing is clunky and contrived to the point of parody even for a procedural drama. extremely predictable and derivative. tries to be a “good show about cops” and succeeded only in making me absolutely certain these types of shows are more insidious than their less-liberal siblings. the dialogue sucks unless one of two things are happening: 1) malcolm decides his trauma and its lingering effects are best utilized as Jokes, and 2) jessica whitly is talking about her bitch-ass ex

now. i Love heavy psychological stuff. that was why someone recommended the show to me in the first place. did it deliver? not exactly. i adore the whitly family who run the Entertaining Mental Health Fuckery spectrum from utterly heartbreaking (malcolm bright) to The funniest shit i’ve ever seen (ainsley whitly). that being said it just didn’t lean into stuff the way it could have. it could have gone Heavier, it could have gone Deeper. and i don’t mean the thing where it kept like… heaping more trauma onto malcolm lmaoooooo poor kid. i mean we could have Stepped Back. WHY did the girl in the box affect malcolm this way. WHY was this SO damaging that it’s implied to be the main instigator for malcolm’s condition. even after recovering other traumatic childhood memories (ones which, as is common with cptsd, were lost. it’s not at all common for those memories to return) it is still the girl in the box who haunts malcolm. i would have loved to go on a deeper dive with that.

that being said. this show handles malcolm’s condition well. he expresses symptoms of his disorder constantly, often without the narrative calling them to attention, which was surprising to me. most obvious are malcolm’s issues with insecure attachment, manifesting as Colossal trust issues, somatization aka his hand tremor, and issues with self-perception. would have liked to see more emphasis on his issues with physical intimacy. i have a lot of Thoughts about his relationship with sex.

i’m willing to bet that ~90% of fic for this show is tagged some variation of #malcolm bright whump

best characters are jessica whitly and edrisa tanaka. jessica is the funniest human being to have ever lived and and edrisa is imo utterly unique. both of them should have killed someone and been utterly unrepentant.

idk if i find malcolm attractive? more than anything he activates my Twink Protection Protocol

i find dani fascinating and think she was completely underutilized. she’s introduced as someone who is stoic and competent and unflappable but who has a seemingly bottomless well of empathy and patience. I Am A Fan Of This. i am so very much a fan of this that i was excited to get like, a complete picture of her. maybe some flashbacks like we get with the whitly family. instead we get three tidbits of personal information: she’s from the bronx, she struggled with addiction, and her father died when she was young. i’m Thinking that she was sidelined on purpose, to keep her whole vibe intact? like, she plays things super close to the chest. but i wanted More. ): one does not just…… drive their new coworker home and help them strap themselves into bed. that’s not like,,,, normal. but she gave no indication she thought anything of it. if it’s JUST because she thinks he’s pretty i’ll accept that explanation because i think it’s funny.

michael sheen was of course delightful. by far the best actor in the show, really just a super fun character. he was obviously having a great time and i love that for him. i like when he was doing the surgery on the cameraman and talking all calm and educational-like :) very scary.

malcolm bright is actually incredibly refreshing for being a Good Boy. like just an all around nice guy. genuinely empathetic and friendly and sweet and kind. and this is from someone who likes when guys are Terrible. he loves his mother and his sister and his father (gil) and he Tries to take care of himself. he Tries not to worry the people who love him and he understands that the best way to do that is to really genuinely get better.

now GIL is attractive. THAT is a man.

eve getting fridged was so funny i’m sorryyyyyy

the slow progression of jt and malcolm’s friendship was sweet :) i want them to have to rely on one another in a life-or-death situation and i want the whole thing to be FRAUGHT with tension

malcolm was mentioned to have narcissistic tendencies at what point and that’s stuck with me because… literally where. being a cocky little asshole isn’t narcissistic. ainsley absolutely has narcissistic tendencies though which is fun.

i might be reading a bit too much into things because that’s what i am good at doing but i could Swear that the writing was nudging towards csa in malcolm’s childhood. i feel like that might even have been the original plan, but that it wouldn’t get green lit for the network, leaving the narrative with… disconcerting hints.

it’s copaganda and it’s not good. if you want a really excellent, well-written, satisfying show about childhood trauma and psychology, Please watch mr robot. i promise it’s everything you could possibly be looking for if prodigal son was the kind of thing that interested you. also it managed to finish its entire planned runtime, 4 seasons, so it’s a complete story and an incredibly thought-provoking narrative.

i'll be annoying about season 2 as well

That will be excellent

i became a legend a decade later after telling my comrades to leave everything to me and retreat first manga manga - Hefty gore as well as Extreme nudity! The tale of i became a legend a decade later after telling my comrades to leave everything to me and retreat first manga follow a cameraman employed by the Film Research Club aka the major character, Machiya Tomohiro. The something he really wishes in existence to flick and report. He bumps in to a lady called Mashiro Mai, that needs him to report her day-to-day life oneday. Being the guy that Machiya is, he remains to movie her for that next couple of times and permits. Something causes an additional and also abruptly Machiya sees that Mashiro is just a bitch.

i became a legend a decade later after telling my comrades to leave everything to me and retreat first manga really beams upon itself onto it's art, due to Kitakawa Touta, yet my issue is just how tough it tries to be to, "get to be the many edgiest manga" within the story-line. I'll touch out that every little thing past section one is simply a dissatisfaction although I will certainly not be messing up something that takes place after section one. The framework of the story definitely will do something for this, as well as is merely remarkable, demonstrating exactly how ridiculous people can be only for popularity as well as bundle, however it'll provide you down that it just type repeats itself for that next numerous areas. All-they do and also require is murder as well as sexual intercourse, giving a that it simply duplicates itself consistently to you. After section 15, it just palls as well as ridiculous, trying to keep up itself. For me, for that art supplied that you do not relate only to the tale as well as only normally remain. Something that really grinds my things may be the numbers.

The read manga characters are basic slogan, plain and not interesting as high as I expected. And while analysis i became a legend a decade later after telling my comrades to leave everything to me and retreat first manga, you can discover that the main character doesn't have definition around and also just continues to be there for item convenience. Afterwards, you have a side character, who's an insane yandere bitch that'll do anything for the cash and fame(or merely downright outrageous). Every other character released may merely make you inflamed to the stage you are asking yourself 'when can they die?' as well as the series would certainly drop entirely if that thought in fact arose from my mind. You launch the water entrances or don't feeling for that figures yet rather to just throw a camping tent.

The setting of the story in i became a legend a decade later after telling my comrades to leave everything to me and retreat first manga is relatively prominent as well. You have actually the high-school, the MC home, occasionally the SC house likewise it just really does not give much in the direction of the table. Although adhering to the so or 12 areas, the environment changes absolutely that will be excellent in methods nonetheless the fact does not change that the story itself is sort of dull.

Poor tape-records the art is merely terrific although apart, I Have been mentioning this a great deal within the examination. Exactly how a expressions are, the gore as well as additionally the activities really gives an exceptional experience worrying the history to you. It may show up usual as well as typical concentrate a good deal although the extremely first numerous structures about it is fairly sensible and the figures experiences.

It has actually been my examination if every little thing is around the area and so I say sorry or there's grammar errors however I thanks for studying and also obtaining your very own time this much! I'll offer my general consensus.

As someone who absolutely likes reading manga online, I'm offering this manga a 7/10. The key reason why it's any raise is because of the art alone. The account is exclusive in methods but it doesn't soft to create it appear one-of-a-kind and also unique in its' method and remains to check so challenging to come to be edgy it's an entire block. The figures are boring and boring also it merely does not make me wish to continue analysis.

kyokou suiri manga - Hefty gore and Severe nakedness! The story of kyokou suiri comply with a cameraman employed by the Movie Research Club aka the primary character, Machiya Tomohiro. The one point he actually wishes around to flick and record. He bumps in to a female called Mashiro Mai, who requires him to report her day-to-day life oneday. Being the man that Machiya is, he continues to be to motion picture her for that following few times and permits. Something leads to one more as well as quickly Machiya sees that Mashiro is simply a bitch.

kyokou suiri truly shines upon itself onto it's art, as a result of Kitakawa Touta, but my problem is how hard it attempts to be to, "reach be the many edgiest manga" within the story-line. I'll touch out that whatever past area one is simply a disappointment although I will certainly not be wrecking something that happens after section one. The structure of the tale absolutely will do something for this, and is simply terrific, showing just how crazy individuals could be only for popularity and package, yet it'll offer you down that it only kind repeats itself for that next a number of sections. All-they do and also need is murder and also sexual intercourse, providing a that it just repeats itself on a regular basis to you. After area 15, it simply palls and also absurd, attempting to keep up itself. For me, for that art provided that you do not connect solely to the tale and also only usually stay. Something that in fact grinds my things may be the figures.

The manga online personalities are fundamental adage, level and not intriguing as high as I anticipated. As well as while analysis kyokou suiri, you can observe that the main personality doesn't have meaning in existence and also merely remains there for item convenience. After that, you have a side personality, who's an insane yandere bitch that'll do anything for the money and also popularity(or just downright crazy). Every various other character released may merely make you irritated to the stage you are asking yourself 'when can they pass away?' and the sequence would certainly drop entirely if that assumed in fact arose from my mind. You launch the water gates or don't sense for that numbers however rather to simply toss a camping tent.

The environment of the tale in kyokou suiri is rather prominent as well. You've the high-school, the MC home, sometimes the SC house also it only really does not offer much towards the table.

GOT7 Newscaster AU

They're the morning show, and have a love-hate relationship with it 

At the beginning of the day, everyone is already dead. Wake up time is 2:00 AM, and Youngjae and Yugyeom always whine about their job choices 

First brodcast is at 4:30, and they barely rest during commercial breaks because of changes in script and touch ups and it's hell 

After the first brodcast, there's another at 5:30, and the last is 6:30, but there's always work afterwards. It's a truly hectic job, but it's Their Job so it's okay- most of the time

Jaebum is the floor director, and is part of the unofficial morning hype crew. He doesn't show up on camera, and the rest of them hate him for it

Jaebum knows everyone's coffee orders by heart and massages his poor babies' shoulders when they're half asleep and getting make-up done. A true dad bro

Jinyoung and Yugyeom are the main newscasters, who inform the general public of the things happenin and so forth

Jinyoung does "Word of the Day" and Yugyeom mimicks him with a funny face to lighten it up because literally No One Cares Bro (but Jinyoung is so into it it's cute) 

They do local news, so it's more light hearted in general- no one wants to watch depressing news when they wake up! And Jinyoung and Yugyeom are good at making people at home happy

Yugyeom always asks people at home what they're eating for breakfast, and playfully scolds viewers "you better be eating! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and it's the cutest thing ever- even though he never eats breakfast, which his twitter followers never fail to point out 

Because of their relaxed broadcasts, funny interactions with each other, and allaround handsomeness, each person (sans Jaebum, who doesn't even use social media) has a mass following on Instagram and Twitter. Jackson and Bambam being the most popular follower count-wise

Mark is the traffic informer guy and Bambam is the meteorologist and both use the green screen, which is next to the front of the building- which has like giant windows instead of walls

Bambam is always interacting with people passing by and he's become a local internet meme- #weatherbamselfie #NewsBam #IDABBEDWITHTHEWEATHERMAN, etc 

Mark is more chill, and knows that nobody really cares about the traffic. Even so, he's no stranger to the mass following on social media. He "doesn't believe" Bambam when he says it's because of his looks (tho he knows it's the truth)  

There's two dogs on set- Coco and Miho. Miho sometimes interrupts Bambam when he's giving a forecast and Bambam ends up both giving the weather and throwing Miho's toy- only for the puppy to come back to him. You can hear laughing in the background 

There was once a bug on the Live Traffic Cam, and the green screen showed it and Mark SCREAMED and will never live it down, ever 

One time Yugyeom couldn't wake up enough to put in his earpiece and ended up fumbling with it on Live Television while Jinyoung laughed at him 

Another time, Jinyoung accidentally said "food fuck" instead of "food truck" and the rest is history

"At least I'm not into foodplay" 

"Oh I heard about this good food fuck that's stationed down the street" 

Bambam wore a black and white stripped turtle neck one day, and will never wear one ever again. Reason: when Yugyeom and Jinyoung transitioned from regular news to the forecast, Yugyeom announced with such a serious tone "And Now, Weather, with The Hamburglar." And Bambam had to be forcibly reminded by Mark that he couldn't tackle a news anchor while they were Live

Mic check usually includes things along the lines of "I want to kill myself, one, two, but first I'll kill Yugyeom, one, two" "I want to go home, one, two, and get away from this abuse, one, two" 

Jinyoung constantly flirts with the makeup artists and Yugyeom fake barfs 24/7 

Sometimes to mess with Yugyeom, Jinyoung and Youngjae bribe the people in the script office with lunch to make slight changes to Yugyeom's script. The shade of red on Yugyeom's face is one of the greatest things on earth

Jinyoung and Yugyeom are the most busy, having to do promo videos and prerecordings, and while the rest of the boys wait for them to finish up, they take Snapchat videos of them with filters and try to make them laugh. Yugyeom is weak

There's a running joke that when Mark does his report, he keeps his left arm glued to his side and only moves his right arm, but barely. Even though he's more free flowing now, when he first started he was so awkward. At random times, one of them (mainly Jackson) will stiffen his arms and waddle around and EVERYONE LOSES IT except Mark ofc 

To mess with both anchors (because what else is there to do, honestly) Mark and Bambam convince the stylists to have Yugyeom and Jinyoung wear matching suits, and it's always too late for the two to change anything and they're always so??? Flustered about it. It's hilariously adorable

One time Bambam forgot about the green screen and wore green pants to work... nobody said anything because everybody's an asshole, and Bambam didn't realize until he saw himself on screen. He was so embarrassed he flattened himself against the wall, but in the end, told the forecast "like a ninja" and only covered his face when he finished 

Being the floor director, Jaebum is constantly moving around the studio, in and out of rooms, up and down different floor levels, and always on his feet. There's a sense of respect for him, because before, during, and after each broadcast he's telling everyone what's happening and waving his arms around and pointing at cameras and making sure everyone has their scripts and earpieces and the field reporters are where they should be- it's crazy for him. Though this doesn't stop the boys from messing with him lol. He's constantly Stressed(tm)

They make it up to him, though, and always treat him to things after each workday is done

Youngjae and Jackson are field reporters, who go out on the street and to local events like fesivals or parades, and the occasional farmers market. The inside workers envy their freedom, but only slightly because of the things they go through 

Youngjae once had to go interview miniature pony handlers, and while he was talking to the camera, Live, a pony came over and PEED ON HIM. It was traumatic

Jackson once got yelled and lectured at by an old lady because his hair was bleached, and took all with a smile, though he was constantly makin eye contact with the camera 

Youngjae was at the beach interviewing a group of surfers, and a really hot dude came over and slung an arm over his shoulder and he Couldn't Stop Messing Up His Lines Holy Crap 

Both Jackson and Youngjae are afraid of the "Runners"- the people who go behind field reporters and yell things like "OH MY GOD IM ON TV" or run by them shirtless or something. Once one of them accidentally crashed into Jackson and he continued his report from the ground

There was a grand openeing to an amusement park, and both Jackson and Youngjae were sent to go and report together. In the script, they had to ride the "FALLEN ANGEL: DEATH DROP" and Jinyoung and Yugyeom from base phisically tore their earpieces out because the screaming was so loud. Jinyoung still whines about his wounded eardrum

Once when Youngjae was out doing a market brodcast, he didn't hear the cameraman say it was Live and couldn't hear the anchors calling for him, and Twitter EXPLODED because he was singing along to the random street musician and "Well, instead of hearing about fruit stands, I think we all would rather like this." 

Youngjae didn't notice until he saw the cameraman crying 

When Jaebum got sick (from when he "visited his parents" aka overworked himself) the studio was IN CHAOS because the stand-in, Jae, was still under the title "floor director-in-training" and holy

Jaebum watched the morning news from his place and almost cried when Yugyeom messed up and looked up to where He usually stood and frowned when it wasn't Him, because He is on His couch and Couldn't be there for Yugyeom :( he got emo over his favorite bub

After the workday, everyone practically ran to Jaebum's apartment, only stopping to say hi to people who recognized them lol, and demanded he get better!!! But jokingly ofc 

They made him soup and treated him like a king for the rest of the day. Youngjae and Jinyoung stayed after everyone else and because of their care, Jaebum was back on his feet in no time. (He wishes he stayed out for longer tho, he loved getting the attention) 

Mark accidentally swore on Live Television because as he was walking to the other side of the green screen, he tripped and fell with a loud "SHIT" and it got so quiet he thought if he laid there long enough he would disappear 

"There seems to be some trouble over at the traffic center, Yugyeom, how was your morning so far?" 

"It was good, though I could have gone for a longer rest. I'm tired." 

"Me too." 

"..." 

"I think our traffic center is back to normal, what do you think, Mr. Tuan?" 

"I want to die, thank you, and now on 6th street-"

Hoenn Saga Team Maqubi's Journal Day 27: WAKKA WAKKA!

Hello everyone, Ivan Ooze aka Melvin Tooz here to continue recording Maqubi's adventure. Today Maqubi returned to Mauville from New Mauville and talked to Wattson. As a reward for shutting off the generator the other day, he gave Maqubi TM24 Thunderbolt. Maqubi checked on the Egg and it would occasionally move. My younger sibling will be born soon, it's quite the excitement. Maqubi was also eager to see who would hatch, so she got on her Mach Bike and made continuous runs from Verdanturf to Route 118 to hatch the Egg sooner. Soon the Egg was hatching, I wonder who my younger sibling will be? The Egg shook a few times, cracks started forming, the cracks got larger, and the loudest crack could be heard. We all stared at the little Wynaut in her little pile of eggshell. Maqubi thought for a moment and decided to name her Wakkawakka... because Wynaut? 

Maqubi decided that the Day-Care would do a better job of raising the newborn than she ever could. I could understand, Maqubi is still a LITTLE GIRL after all, definitely not ready to be a mother yet. Kenorith joined us instead of little Wakkawakka who Maqubi gave the EXP Share to after taking it from Cotton Jim (poor guy lost his first gift from Maqubi). Maqubi also decided to give The Game a little break and brought along Skrunchh. This is Maqubi's first time raising a Voltorb... I hope she doesn't teach him/her/it Self-destruct... that would be self-destructive. Maqubi made her way to Route 118 and had Skidds use Surf to get across the ocean. She ran into a Tentacool on the way and decided to catch her. Maqubi ended up naming her N ASS T... (*chuckle*) I mean... Maqubi's... UNIQUE naming strikes again! 

Maqubi landed on the other side of Route 118 where she spoke to a Fisherman. He asked if a Good Rod is really good... WHAT!? Oh... he meant a Good FISHING Rod... DON'T LAUGHT AT ME SKIDDS!!! Maqubi ran into the Reporter and Cameraman again where they challenged her to another battle. They had a Magnemite and Loudred... oh dear, looks like Skidds is being reminded of Audie. The battle still ended up as Maqubi's victory. Skrunchh did pretty good for its first battle. The Reporter asked Maqubi an interview again and Maqubi's thoughts on the battle was "See Ya"... haha good ol' Maqubi. 

Maqubi continued exploring and ran into Steven Stone. He exchanged a few words and left as quickly as he appeared. He's a mysterious fellow... but he has got some nice hair! Maqubi battled a few trainers and made her way to Route 123. Maqubi battled a few trainers and I even got to battle. Maqubi freaked out whenever I took the slightest bit of damage however. I know she cares, but it's not like I'll get bitten by another snake Pokemon right? ... right? Anyways, Maqubi is going to take a break here. Wonder what else is on this Route?

‘Nashville’ Recap: He’s Seen Fire, He’s Seen Rain

Warning: This recap contains spoilers for the “Fire and Rain” episode of Nashville.

Rayna James was buried in last week’s episode of Nashville, but she’s truly laid to rest in the closing moments of the show’s spring finale, “Fire and Rain.” That’s when the entire main cast assembles to help Deacon finally complete the duet-centric album that he and his dearly departed wife embarked on with the intention of celebrating their happy marriage. Now, though, that record has become something more: the lynchpin to the future of Highway 65, which is awash in red ink after making a deal to purchase Luke Wheeler’s old label. That’s Luke for ya: still causing headaches for Rayna even though he isn’t a character on the show anymore.

So what we’ve got here is an old-fashioned stand-off between art vs. commerce. Taking the “art” side is Deacon, who sees no creative value in singing along to Rayna’s solo scratch tracks. (He’s got a good point; remember back in the ’90s when the surviving Beatles “reunited” with John Lennon for “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love“? Admit it: You always hit “Skip” when those songs pop up in your Beatles playlist.) Meanwhile, billionaire Zach Wells — who is spending an awful lot of time in Nashville for someone who manages a Silicon Valley tech empire — suits up as the “commerce” heavyweight, pointing out that he’s well within his rights to want this business enterprise he has a sizeable stake in to be successful. (Again, a good point! After all, while “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love” were creatively dubious accomplishments, they did replenish the coffers at BeatlesCorp, aka Apple Records and its many off-shoots.)

What’s so painful for Deacon, beyond the thought of finishing this album without his professional and personal partner, is the fact that so many of his fellow artists initially seem swayed to the commerce side. Will, Juliette, and Gunnar all have livelihoods to consider, and that makes them susceptible to Zach’s pitch, which can essentially be boiled down to: “Yo Deacon, I’m really sorry for you, and I’ma let you finish crying about Rayna, but hurry up and finish the album!” It’s up to Avery to talk some sense into all of them, strolling in to the James/Claybourne abode and laying down a good, old-fashioned guilt trip. “We all write about heartbreak for a living, and now that it’s staring us in the face, it’s like we’re afraid of it. We judge it like it’s strange or weird.”

Properly chagrined, the musicians go to the recording studio and create proper tracks that Deacon can accompany without feeling like he’s singing to a ghost. (And Connie Britton did become a bit of a ghost in this episode — beyond those snippets of audio tracks, she’s heard murmuring the thoughts that Rayna scribbled into her diary, in addition to appearing on-camera in the footage that heroic Cameraman Gene shot a few episodes ago.) Finishing that last song gives Deacon the fortitude to hand the tracks over to Zach, narrowly preventing the power struggle from blowing up in everyone’s face. Of course, Deacon’s artistic tantrums are bound to clash with Zach’s business snobbery when the show returns and does a three-month time jump. That’s just enough time for the record to be released, and for everyone to be settled in to their post-Rayna lives, before our favorite dramatic hurricane kicks up again.

Best Storyline: Chip Esten reconfirmed his status as Nashville‘s best crier when Deacon experienced a complete and total breakdown while he’s sequestered in the bedroom he once shared with Rayna. Since he’ll presumably be the center of the show going forward, the poor guy had to shatter into pieces so that he could rebuild and move forward. In that respect, keeping the album from Zach wasn’t as much about holding onto his artistic purity as it was holding onto his wife. Watching Esten’s sensitive portrayal of his deep grief provided the perfect final chapter to this whole “Death of Rayna” arc. Now, let’s allow the guy to flash some vintage Deacon grins when the show returns, ‘mmmkay?

Worst Storyline: In a plot thread so unpromising, they saved it for the final moments of the episode, Scarlett reveals that she’s pregnant and doesn’t know whether the father is Gunnar… or Damien. Can we just fast-forward to the part when she figures it out? This isn’t a mystery that needs to be belabored.

Maddie Watch: It’s taken a little while, but Maddie has finally experienced the consequences of making everything all about yourself. Acting on Juliette’s well-intentioned (and, as with last week, completely misjudged) advice to seize the spotlight while she’s in its glare, the teen books a round of talk show interviews. And, on one of them, she makes the casual suggestion that maybe some good things — like a reboot of her stalled music career — can come from tragedy. The online reaction to that from places like Vulture is swift and vehement, and sends Maddie directly back to Nashville nursing her wounds and thinking of others (like Deacon) for a change. At least she gets a new manager out of the trip: In a partnership that could very well backfire in spectacular fashion, Juliette is going to oversee Maddie’s next professional steps as a way to repay Rayna for all of her guidance. Pray for Mojo (and Maddie).

Best Bit of #RealTalk: Connie Britton’s final spoken words on Nashville (barring any yet-to-air flashbacks) are pretty great: “The best part about it is that I know he’s never going to give up on me or on my girls — or on our record or on any other damn thing I drag him into. He’s going to be there. Pretty lucky.”

Cameo Alert: Here’s a clear sign that Nashville has left the ABC ecosystem behind for the Viacom family: Trevor Noah enjoys a sizeable guest appearance that, in the past, probably would have gone to Robin Roberts. Too bad that the Nashville-verse Noah is rather inappropriately pushy, all but strong-arming a reluctant Maddie into a singing a cappella at an after-party.

Standout Song: Hard to top the all-star jam session at the end. That should tide you over until the summer.

Nashville airs Thursday at 9 p.m. on CMT.

Japanese Nats: The Aftermath

This recap is almost 3 weeks late but fwiw I judged the event on The Judges’ Table. If you’re interested in my (serious) opinions about the competition, you can read them there. If you’re interested in my less censored opinions, I will include as much as I can in this post. 

So what happened is that Japan crowned their tiniest champions ever, Satoko Miyahara (her 3rd title) and Shoma Uno (his 1st title). But some people were less interested in that and more interested in receiving updates on Yuzuru Hanyu’s recovery after he decided to withdraw from the competition in order to prioritize his health, thus generating earthquakes among his sensitive fans. Other people (those who attended the competition) went just to see Mao Asada but they were polite enough not to get up and empty the arena while Mao wasn’t skating unlike what happened at the Sochi Olympics when Evgeni Plushenko withdrew from the men’s event. 

Now I’m not pretending to be some advocate of justice and I’m not intending to preach. But I believe this is a good opportunity to highlight frequent problems in the skating fandom so you won’t be tempted to fall into their traps. 

DISCLAIMER: I do realize I’m already in a very high risk of getting attacked by some Yuzu fans via anon asks or salty replies/reblogs but I’m gonna say this again: it’s okay if you’re not into my kind of “”””humor”””. You can ignore me and I promise I won’t get a boo-boo. GETTING TO THE SUBJECT NOW!

THE LADIES EVENT aka Game Of Thrones

Satoko Miyahara waltzed into this event giving negative fucks and the results showed: when she gives negative fucks, that 3Lz-3T combo in the second half of her SP is miraculously rotated. As a consequence she got 76 for her program and further established her new position as one of the most overscored skaters currently competing (don’t believe me? Ask the Russian ubers and Mao ubers). I also thought “damn, this empty program actually looks nice when neither she nor I have to worry about rotations”. But the key here is to make the program look like that when you give a lot of fucks as opposed to negative fucks, and Mie Hamada knew that. So the next day before Satoko skated her FS, Hamada annoyed the crap out of her and pressured her as a strategy to make her get used to skating clean when she gives a lot of fucks, such as when she’s thinking she’s gotta get a medal in a relevant event, including the Olympics. For now, Satoko is still failing that test because she had a step-out on the 3Lz-3T combo and a couple of carrots. 

Wakaba Higuchi finally - I repeat - FINALLY skated a clean short program and it was so adorable to see her get all excited and happy about it. Except it wasn’t a squeaky-clean program because she got a wrong edge call on her flip. What can ya do, if ya got a good lutz ya gotta lip and when ya got a good flip ya gotta flutz. She’s gonna have to follow Satoko’s example and replace that lip with a loop and be done with it. Other than that, damn this girl got huge jumps. Everyone loves some huge jumps. However, the disadvantage of huge jumps is that you gotta have very good control of the landing and you have to know how to manage your speed, when to speed up, when to slow down, otherwise you’re doomed to pull a Midori Ito and land your jumps over the cameraman outside the boards. (Have you imagined Evgenia Medvedeva landing one of her 3-3-3 combos on Tarasova’s table cause I did and I cracked myself up really). 

Another skater who is fast as crap and has great technique on top of that is Mai Mihara who won the bronze medal and got herself a ticket to Worlds. Just a year ago around this time she was watching Nationals on TV from a hospital bed having been diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Doesn’t that make a great Cinderella story? She is, actually, skating to Cinderella but her style is still stuck somewhere on the road between junior and senior (she was pretty good as a junior but I didn’t like her skating then and I’m not necessarily warming up now) but she seems like a very sweet girl and if there’s anyone who deserved going to Worlds aside from Satoko and Wakaba, it’s this young lady. 

Marin Honda is another skater who finally - I repeat - FINALLY skated a clean short program after burying herself in competitions right from the start. The poor girl has been under so much constant pressure this season I feel like she’s always on the verge of having an emotional breakdown. It’s not only the fact that she’s cried a number of times after her performances, but this season she always looked like she was terrified of her results no matter how she skated. I’m not a fan of either of her programs this season (SP is similar to last season’s and the FS is a hot mess combo of Yuzuru’s Romeo & Juliet 1 and 2) but she has excellent skating skills, musicality, expression, projection to the audience for her age. She doesn’t have the best jump technique but she is one of the few lucky ones with a clean lutz AND flip. After a smooth short program, a popped jump in the free prevented her from stepping onto the podium but that’s how it is in competition; it’s not about what you’re able to do, it’s about what you end up doing when it counts. 

Rika Hongo has been in serious trouble ever since the beginning of this season - or maybe as far as the previous Nationals - and the worst case scenario happened. She finished 5th and now the juniors ahead of her are old enough to go to Worlds in her place. While she was 2nd in the SP with the best performance of the season, she went down to 6th in the FS and finished 5th overall despite bringing back Riverdance, a program that worked for her last year. Unfortunately the spark, the freedom and the joy that was present last season was absent in this competition as she was very nervous even before she took the ice. 

Yuna Shiraiwa on the other hand... I’m only going to say this. Clean 3Lz-3T and (second half) 3F-3T combos in the FS. No UR calls. Highest TES (71.74) of the evening. She’s the real MVP in Hamada’s team. 

THE OLD(ER) GENERATION

This was Mao Asada’s worst result at Nationals but instead of having retirement thoughts (like she had last season at Nationals even though she skated better), she’s still determined to come back stronger next season. An old knee injury prevented her from landing the 3A and rotating a lot of her jumps but at this point she’s obviously not skating for the medals as much as she’s skating for herself. No skater wants to leave the competitive world with regrets so who are we to judge Mao’s decision to continue in spite of physical difficulties? With Yuzuru absent due to influenza, most fans attended the competition to see Mao and it was obvious just counting the number of flowers that were thrown on the ice for her compared to the other skaters. 

Redemption from Kanako Murakami, who is also nearing the end of her career but managed to deliver the first clean FS she’s skated in ages. That’s all she wanted from this competition, she got it, and she awarded the audience with her signature Kanako Smile.

Painful competition for Haruka Imai, former Japanese Jr National Champion and 4th at the 2014 4CC. No GP assignments this season, she was plagued by inflammation of her hips and knees but she fought to land the 3Lz and 3F. This was also the first time we got to see one of her new programs (the FS, which is Primavera by Einaudi) and she’s still beautiful to watch. 

SHOMA UNO & CO.

It was kind of depressing to watch the men’s event this year because only a couple of years ago it was the fiercest event at Nationals. Keiji Tanaka seized his chance to grab onto the silver medal while Takahito Mura’s bronze was (once again) useless - as harsh as it sounds. Shoma wasn’t at his best here but he showed that he learned a new lesson (tag a 3T to a different jump if you screw up one of your planned combos!!) and he came out of this alive and well. The added pressure of having to “live up to expectations” in the absence of Olympic King Zuzu was another thing he suddenly had to put up with (good job Fuji). But there’s an old saying; “better here than at Worlds”. 

CONTROVERSIES 

While Satoko and Shoma are the tiniest champions Japan has ever had, they’re also the most criticized. They both have to skate under the shadows of two skating giants, Mao and Yuzuru, who have hoards of fans. Among those hoards of fans there are ubers, people who have made a habit out of bashing their favorite skaters’ successors. In Japan there already are Mao ubers whose jobs are to tear Satoko apart and the disease has long spread worldwide. You can see it on forums, you can see it on comment sections of YouTube videos, you can even hear it on television (looking at you Simon Reed). People who write passive-aggressive, sarcastic remarks, calling Satoko names and whatnot. Shoma gets similar (though mellower) treatment from overseas fans, but not from Japanese fans, possibly due to the fact that he’s a Daisuke Takahashi fan so most of Dai’s fans are now supporting him. 

These two young skaters (and not only) deserve all the support in the world. It’s not easy to become Japan’s supporting pillar and leading lady after the great Mao Asada, but Satoko is doing an incredible job. Appreciate more, bash less. Don’t let the judges cloud your judgement. There’s also a massive amount of PR in figure skating; Mao has so many sponsors you can see her in commercials, you can see fluff videos about her because that’s what the general audience wants. She’s been advertised as a child prodigy (which she was) and people consider her part of their family. Satoko doesn’t benefit from that kind of treatment so people tend to be cold and judgmental towards her because she’s nothing compared to Mao-chan (oh dear those jumps, oh dear the way she bends her knee, oh dear her face). 

Recently Marin Honda has been getting the “heir of Mao” treatment, getting sponsorship from JAL, shooting CMs for Ghana and stuff. I feel like I have to point out the fact that all of her siblings, including herself, are managed by a hugely influential management company. If you’re into Japanese entertainment, you might have heard of it. It’s called Oscar Promotion and it’s a talent agency whose famous names include actresses Emi Takei, Aya Ueto and Ayame Gouriki. She’s been promoted and modeled by a talent agency since she was a young child so she’s an expert at working with the camera, the audience and the reporters. As a result she’s also been gathering - well, pretty scary fans who are downright infatuated with her and will start arguments if you dare criticize her. Similar to idol group fans, I’d say. 

But this is figure skating and crack commentaries aside we’re talking about real, young people with feelings who are training every day from dawn till dusk, who get injured, who sacrifice their childhood and adolescence. We’re also talking about real fans behind the computer screen who like who they like and no one person is entitled to criticize or ridicule the things that make them happy. At the same time, no one is entitled to attack fans who criticize your favorite skater(s) as long as they bring valid arguments and they’re polite about it. And no one is entitled to attack another fan whose way of seeing or perceiving things is either more or less intense than yours. Be nice to each other. #PEACE

journalist au

aka the au no one asked for

so

there’s this city idk where called Empire City

the major news company is Empire City Herald

their rival is the smaller Alliance News Daily

Cassian Andor is the freakin best journalist Alliance News Daily has ever seen

like he exploits all the business men and politicians

yeah, he’s good

his trusty, yet snarky intern cameraman is named Kay

Jyn Erso is this free-lance photojournalist trained by Saw Gerrara former Alliance News reporter 

he killed

literally

she’s got a website called EscapetoReality.net

she’s brutally honest

Empire City Herald doesn’t like her or Alliance News one bit

Papa Erso works for the City Herald

So Alliance News learns of a tech support guy from the City Herald who went to Saw Gerrara with a message from him

Cassian Andor is sent to retrieve Jyn

Alliance News wants her to work for them find Saw Gerrara

she is dragged in kicking and screaming

no one had ever heard of her crazy martial arts skills

but she’s kinda forced to get on Cassian’s plane

Cassian Alliance News tracks down Gerrara in Israel

“where’d you get that gun?” “found it” “i find that answer vague and unconvincing”

so they show up

Kay who knows how to fly a plane stays behind

they wander Tel Aviv, Israel for maybe half an hour when Jyn bumps into a blind Chinese monk and  his guardian

he spouts nonsense to her before Cass drags her away when suddenly

oh no a terrorist attack

they shoot at the people shooting at them

there are the Israeli rebels and the Palestinian attackers, well the Israelis attacked first, but that’s unimportant

Jyn darts out in all the crossfire to save a little girl, but has to take cover behind a truck

Cass shoots an Israeli rebel to keep him from blowing up the truck

so they get away from the main fighting, but then a group of Palestinians see them and try to attack them

Jyn takes out all seven of them, while Cassian looks on with heart eyes

she whirls around and shoots a guy with a headscarf covering his face, that looked a lot like the one Kay was wearing

speak of the devil

Kay comes around the corner, pulling the scarf down to bare his face, looking indignant

“did you know that was not me?” “...of course”

they run into the blind monk and his guardian husband

literally

they’re rounded up by the Israeli rebels and taken to Gerarra

Jyn is brought to him, while the boys are carted off to a cell

they meet the tech support guy, says his name is Bodhi

Jyn get a poor quality video from her father, says that not only the City Herald, but the entire City Council is in on this plot to get rid of Senator Mothma

like really get rid of her

but she can stop them if she hurries

but then Palestinians attack Gerarra big house base

Cass picks the lock and grabs Jyn, so is still shaken up from seeing her father, who she hadn’t been in contact with since she was like nine

they dash onto Kay’s plane with the tech support, the blind monk named Chirrut, and his husband Baze

Bodhi knows where her father is

he’s in Zurich, Switzerland

 and Jyn needs to get to Papa

so off they fly

so here’s part 1 part 2 will be along shortly

and I’ll probably flush it out into a real story on ao3, but this is all for now

[apairofcrepeswiththerarestape]

Do you humans remember the website theawl.com? They published some pretty great stuff over the years (though they did reject the one thing I ever pitched to them, a review of every issue of the New Yorker as it came out. This was a project I did on my own in fits and starts over the years) and in their last days they put out a very short piece about a very short part of my favorite Orson Welles movie, F for Fake. F for Fake is a weird kind of documentary that is INSANELY pretentious and about, obviously, fakery. It starts Welles doing magic tricks in full on all black with a cape I'm just about to be very drunk doing Paul Masson commercials in a couple years regalia on a train platform for some kids before introducing the cameraman for crying out loud. If you can handle that level of bs then you will enjoy it deeply. ANWAY, the part that Rick Paulus (who is someone I have probably read before but because I'm intellectually quite lazy and do not necessarily take note of whom I'm reading in a magazine or on a website (with a few exceptions, I'm looking at you Jill Lepore and David Roth)) I do not remember reading) writes about takes place, in pretty late period Orson Welles style, while he's eating lunch in some mediterranean cafe. He interrupts himself making a point to the people he's at the table with to ask the waiter to take away the bowl of mussels he consumed and "bring me the steak au poivre, thanks a lot."  This moment lodged that phrase "steak au poivre" in my mind for years, that moment was a better advertisement than Paul Masson or those poor people who asked Welles to sell peas ever got,. So when I discovered that steak au poivre was a thing in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking it was a no brainer, I had to make steak au poivre. SO I DID IT, I MADE THE STEAK AU POIVRE OR MORE BORINGLY, PEPPER STEAK WITH BRANDY SAUCE, AND THE FAT PRETENTIOUS GUY WAS RIGHT TO ASK FOR IT IN THAT MOVIE BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

When shopping for a dish where steak is in the title, no doy, the main thing you need to get is steak. As I've said in the past I like to go to the fancy supermarket to get meats because at least I have some idea where it's coming from and that assuages my guilt about eating meat (unforch it also accentuates my guilt about gentrification so it's kind of a wash!). All this guilt assuaging and accentuating made me forget the steak types that were suggested in Mastering the Art of French Cooking so I just went with three pieces of steak meat that did not involve the word "chuck" or "stew" or "round". I also picked ones that were only medium expensive, though they did also have a rating of 4 next to them in the parlance of the fancy supermarket so that means that I got to feel 4 times as superior as someone who bought regular meat. This dish also features cognac, a substance that I've avoided ever since going to a mid 2000s birthday party focused on drinking a beverage called an "Incredible Hulk". It was a very fun party.  The next day, however,  I felt like my brain had been put in a food dehydrator while my body had spent the night strapped to the rear wheel of a city bus. With such limited expertise in the subject, purchasing the cognac was a but of a puzzle. I went to a fancy liquor store but wasn't going to pay $70 for a bottle of fancy stuff that I probably wasn't ever going to drink but then I went to a more regular place and they only had hennessy. The hennessy at least came in smaller, less expensive portions so that was the choice, even if I never used the stuff again $12 wasn't much of an investment. I also purchased a shallot and that was that.

The big thing about Steak Au Poivre is the pepper, otherwise it would be just a regular french style steak with a slightly fancier pan sauce. It is not whole pepper nor is it ground pepper, for Steak Au Poivre you want cracked pepper and cracked pepper must be something you make by hand. Now we do not own a mortar and pestle, the optimal pepper cracking instrument that is also a signal that someone has a little too much money to spend on kitchen stuff (look, I'm sure some of you have them because they were gifts or whatever but nobody uses a mortar and pestle more that like twice a year), so I just used a bowl and the bottom of a bottle, it was fine. The cracked pepper acts as like a delicious caramelized crust for the eventual steak, ground pepper is too fine and whole peppercorns will break your teeth apart. Once I was done cracking my pepper (2 tablespoons worth) and drying my steaks off with paper towels, I coated my fancy steaks in my not cracked in a fancy way pepper. I did not sprinkle it on, I did not rub the steaks into it, I got that cracked pepper in my hands and massaged it into the steak. The book says to do it with "your fingers and the palm of your hand" which like just say your whole hand but whatever, I really got that pepper on there. I then covered the pepper encrusted steaks with wax and let them sit for a half hour, which is the minimal amount of time allowed by Julia Child who suggests 2-3 hours optimally which I would've done if I hadn't decided on this dish sometime in the afternoon before I cooked it. While the meat was getting all pepper flavored I minced the shallot and then read some blogs about baseball and then half hour was up and it was time to cook.

The french style of cooking steak is pretty simple, heat up a bunch of butter and oil (1 1/2 tablespoons each) till it pretty dang hot then throw the steaks in there for 3/4 minutes on each side, then you are done cooking your steaks. This is what I did and holy moly it made my house smell insanely good, which made me happy the rest of the prep was short because living in a home that smelled that good without being able to eat would have been torture worthy of a Black Mirror episode (if like your phone made that smell because you didn't get enough likes or something, I don't know, I saw four episodes of the show (the pig humper one, the one where the lady goes to jail for not getting enough likes, the video game one where like a dude's mom calling him kills him or whatever, and San Junipero (which was actually really good!)). After the steaks were done I set them aside and sprinkled them with just a pinch of salt each. Then I dumped all the leftover fluid out of the pan and threw the minced shallot and another tablespoon of butter in there, scootching them around to mix with all the leftover steak cooking chunks that were left in the pan. After that I dumped a half a cup of beef broth (I will win my war with the thing of beef broth I bought two weeks ago!) to loosen up more of those chunks and cook down. This cooking down went on for a couple of minutes before I dumped 1/3 cup of hennessy in there to finish the sauce. I cooked that whole mess for about 4 minutes till the booze burned off and then took it off the heat and swirled in 3 more tablespoons of butter. Then it was time to eat the steaks until I died.

Though it is possible that I'm the first ghost who writes about food on social media, I did not, probably, die from eating Steak Au Poivre, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PRETTY GOOD WAY TO GO! That steak was aokdaiofnaonsunurfnnfninsdkfnjh, like I was incapable of making regular known language words and just turned into a mewling ball of meat enjoyment. I don't think I could eat this after eating an entire bowl of mussels but other than that it lived up to and surpassed the expectations I had based on the way Orson Welles said it (which makes me think I have a pretty messed up expectation system when it comes to food!). So go forth and make and eat the Steak Au Poivre aka Pepper Steak with Brandy Sauce! It's so much easier that it's fancy french name would have you believe! BUT FOR SURE CALL IT STEAK AU POIVRE AND NOT PEPPER STEAK WITH BRANDY SAUCE BECAUSE YOU STILL WANT CREDIT FOR MAKING SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS HARD TO MAKE!

[themangaguide]

It has been my evaluation

futari ecchi manga - Heavy gore and Extreme nakedness! The tale of futari ecchi comply with a cameraman employed by the Film Research Club aka the major personality, Machiya Tomohiro. The one thing he really wants out there to film and also report. He bumps in to a woman called Mashiro Mai, that needs him to report her day-to-day life oneday. Being the person that Machiya is, he remains to film her for that next couple of times and allows. Something leads to an additional as well as quickly Machiya sees that Mashiro is just a bitch.

futari ecchi truly radiates upon itself onto it's art, due to Kitakawa Touta, however my worry is just how difficult it tries to be to, "reach be the several edgiest manga" within the story-line. I'll touch out that everything previous section one is just a dissatisfaction although I will not be messing up something that happens after section one. The structure of the story definitely will flatter this, and is just remarkable, showing exactly how insane people might be only for appeal and package, however it'll give you down that it only type repeats itself for that following numerous sections. All-they do and also require is homicide and also intercourse, offering a that it simply repeats itself regularly to you. After area 15, it merely palls and also ridiculous, attempting to preserve up itself. For me, for that art provided that you do not relate entirely to the tale and also only usually stay. Something that really grinds my points may be the figures.

The kono oto tomare personalities are standard motto, level and not intriguing as much as I anticipated. And while reading futari ecchi, you can see that the major character does not have significance out there and simply stays there for item comfort. Afterwards, you have a side personality, who's a crazy yandere bitch that'll do anything for the cash as well as popularity(or just downright ridiculous). Every other character introduced may simply make you irritated to the phase you are wondering 'when can they die?' as well as the sequence would certainly drop totally if that thought actually developed from my mind. You release the water gateways or don't feeling for that figures but instead to simply toss a tent.

The setting of the story in futari ecchi is rather preferred too. You've the high-school, the MC home, sometimes the SC home additionally it just truly does not supply much in the direction of the table. Although complying with the so or 12 sections, the atmosphere modifications totally that will be terrific in ways nonetheless the reality does not change that the story itself is sort of boring.
