Low key this was probably my favorite part of the episode
#this was an actually funny fucking joke I’m so happy#also a good reaction gif out of it#this and where alastor freaks out at the end where probably some of my favorite parts#like seeing alastor actually slipping I guess and showing fear was the one thing I felt had great buildup#idk just seeing a powerful and mysterious character terrified and panicking for the first time after establishing their like#unwavering mask is a recipe for good tv#although him seeing them as friends or actually caring about them I don’t buy#it just felt like him calling them friends came out of nowhere man.

gonna start naming out the song lyrics i've been using as titles
loveable ~ jo yuri <3 ~
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────
Robin's recent comeback- a miserable failure.
Robin's new EP 'Welcome To My World' has been nothing but a colossal failure. With each new album, Robin continues to disappoint- fans are sick of her low effort songs and lack of stage presence. Her comeback stage shows her clearly lack of passion. Just because she has made a name for herself does not mean she can now slack off on stage when fans pay thousands to see her-
You closed the article before you finished reading it. If you continued, you probably would've ended up throwing your phone across the room or do something along the lines of that sort of stupidity that you would end up regretting later. That article was like a knife through the heart for Robin but for you it was a knife through the author's decaying and bleeding out body as you stab that fucker over and over again. Okay, maybe that was too violent but fuck you can't stand to see people say such bullshit about your girlfriend. She called you at work, crying and saying she couldn't do it anymore. You could barely make out her words through her sobs and the bad signal (which led you to believe she was hiding in the bathroom).
"I worked so hard, I don't know what they want from me. I can't-"
"Robin, baby, deep breaths- okay? I'm right here, it's okay."
It infuriates you, how people can run their mouths and say whatever bullshit that comes to their mind just because they're not satisfied with their own miserable lives. Just because they feel like dragging someone down would perhaps make themselves feel better about the fact that someone half their age is more successful than they will ever be. You want to tell her that you'll fucking find them and make their life a living hell but that's definitely not what she wants to hear right now.
"What do they want from me? I'm so tired, I don't wanna do this anymore."
All you really could do was continue to comfort her, hoping that she can pick up what you're saying through the static and cut offs due to bad internet. You just stayed with her until her cries became sniffles and she stated that she has to go before they suspect anything. You swallowed back your worry and just nodded.
"Okay. I love you, Robin.
You can feel her smile from across the phone.
"I love you."
That night you spent the entire evening in the kitchen, prancing around and trying not to burn the eight things you have going on the stove as you flip through your phone to find that recipe for the thing in the oven that looks horrifically bad.
"Ah fuck..."
You check the time- 8:03, she should be back soon. You finally find the recipe page and you feel your heart drop. Fuck, you were supposed to bake it for 30 minutes- not 50! No wonder that shit looked so wrong! You scramble to pull it out of the oven, the timer with 5 minutes left. You groan when you see how it looks- first it looked wrong and now it was probably burnt too. So much for making your girlfriend's favourite dessert.
"Love?"
The soft voice startles you, yelping as you dropped the cake pan.
"Shit!"
Robin stands there in all her glory. She looks exhausted, eye bags worse than before and shoulders sagged but to you she was still the most beautiful woman you have ever laid your eyes on.
"Everything okay?"
She tries to smile at you but it looks so forced. You feel your heart clenching in your chest as you pick up the cake pan from the ground, moving it back onto the counter.
"Baby, just let me take care of you tonight?"
You pull her in close, hugging her tight. She freezes at first, before completely melting in your grasp. She lets out a shaky sigh as she buries her head in the crook of your neck.
"I missed you."
Her voice is muffled against your shoulder but you just smile as you tiptoe to press a kiss to her forehead.
"I missed you so much, baby." You pull away, cupping her face with your hands as you brush your thumb against her cheek. "You look beautiful."
"Don't lie."
She gets flustered so easily, face turning pink as she looks away but she can't stop the small smile from forming on her face.
"I'm not. You look beautiful."
She sighs as she looks back at you, and the tired expression on your usual warm and happy girlfriend really does hurt you. The way the media can tear people down into nothing but the most insecure parts of themselves has always rubbed the wrong way with you but watching it happen to the one you love most is absolutely heartbreaking.
"I made you dinner?"
"I saw."
Her smile is not as forced now as she looks around the kitchen, a soft giggle escaping her lips.
"Quite a mess you made."
You just shoot an embarrassed grin at her as you tried to hide the cake pan behind your back.
"Well, I'm not a good cook."
"I think you did amazing."
She steps forward, caging you between the counter and herself.
"You make the worst days brighter, you know?"
"You make each of my days better. It's only fair I do the same to you."
Robin looks down, playing with her hands.
"I don't deserve you."
"Oh shut up."
The kiss was soft, gentle and loving. She cups your cheeks as she steps closer, bodies pressed against each other as you pour all the love you can convey through a simple act.
"I love you. I really love you so much, Robin." You say breathlessly to her when you pull away. She doesn't say much, only resting her head on your shoulder as she takes your hand into her own, lacing your fingers together.
"And I'm so proud of you for your new comeback. You've worked so hard and it paid off. You keep outdoing yourself and the people who don't see that can fuck off and die."
She sighs.
"No need for the violence, yeah?"
"Violence is always the answer."
You feel your heart flutter when she lets out a soft laugh, like a songbird's first melody of a new spring.
"You do whatever you want." She says, resting a hand on your chest as she leans in to press a quick but soft kiss to your lips. "Thank you- for this."
"Always."
The food you cooked was mostly inedible- resorting to the two of you ordering takeout together but you couldn't care less about the burnt cakes or undercooked mac and cheese. Robin is smiling again, and that's all you wanted to achieve for the night.
Response to: Robin's recent comeback- a miserable failure.

That sydcarmy montage in the end of ep 8 will never get out of my mind, like he literally says: I'm gonna call my girlfriend and then Claire and Sydney are shown after shots of carmy making bolognese which I've seen in some analysis here that is the recipe Syd told carmy about and like when the song says something abt "I've tried to forget" it shows syd and then the lyrics say another suspicious thing and show Claire being like the opposite LIKE WHAT THE HELL WHO DID THIS MONTAGE WHO THOUGHT ABT DOING IT?????????????
And in the very next episode we see Carmy and Claire having some intimacy but then syd shows up getting dressed???? Like what are u guys up to? What do u mean by making this sequence???? And like why carmy looks worried right after having sex with his childhood crush, the girl he "loves so much"? I CAN'T 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Herbalism 101: Lemon
EP. 7

Fun fact
Lemons are technically berries!
Properties : clarity, friendship, happiness, protection
Uses in the kitchen
Lemon is used for its tart flavor. It can be found in many desserts, pastries, and cocktails. They can also be used to clean or make a simmer pot, leaving your home smelling fresh.
Uses in healing
Lemon has been found to have anti microbial properties and is a great source of vitamin C. Some say that drinking lemon juice can get rid of hiccups as well!
Uses in witchcraft
If you work with the moon, leaving lemons or parts of lemons on your altar to honor the moon is a great use. I often use the dried peels, dehydrated in the oven, in spell jars and charm bags. Another common use for lemon is in protective work. Things like a cleansing bath, a protective jar etc. are great uses for lemon.
Tips for growing at home
Lemons are not particularly difficult to grow, however if you live in a place with a harsh winter, chances are it will not thrive. Don't forget, lemon trees will take around two years to bear fruit, so be patient! Finally, you can grow these trees in a pot indoors, but they will need full sun.
Recipe
This is technically a repeat of an old recipe I have posted before, but I am changing out lavender for lemon because I make these all the time and they are a crowd pleaser.
Lemon shortbread cookies
4 cups flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1lb salted butter
2 drops lemon extract
Lemon zest for the looks
Combine the ingredients with the butter still a bit chilled. You can make little balls or roll it out to cut out shapes, you may need a little extra flour for this. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.

Last Twilight Ep 8; Thoughts
We're at the 2/3 mark of the show, and the episode honestly felt surreal. Last Twilight is continuing to parallel iconic moments of Bad Buddy, this time with running away and scenes on the beach. However, it never feels like it's boring or repetitive, because while the parallels are clear, the shows are also distinct. It's clear that the characters in the two shows are pushed by different things.

I was yelling at the screen when I realized Mhok and Day were going off on their own, because ditching Night = recipe for disater (he'd obviously call Day's mom!?!)

But then this happened, and I had to pause and take a moment, now that my fears had been resolved. We know so little about Night, and yet so much. Understanding his character requires a lot of reading in between the lines, and until we know what happened between the brothers, the picture won't be complete. I did, in fact, breathe a huge sigh of relief when I realized that Night was in on it, because while Mhok and Day are capable of handling themselves, if Day's mother found out, we all know that it wouldn't make for a pretty situation.
Which calls in something else I'm curious about. Is Day really naive enough to believe that they can ditch Night with no consequences? Or is there some trust left in Day, that Night will let them go. Has he figured that Night is likely in on it, and is choosing to remain quiet?
There's a number of possibilities, and I'm curious to see how it plays out. It's highly likely that his anxiousness to get away from Night, and trust in Mhok meant that the though simply hasn't crossed his mind too.
On that topic, if we rewind to the beginning of the ep

I just love how much Day trusts Mhok. It's obvious, but I felt it was worth pointing out. Mhok tells Day that there's no one there, and Day accepts. Mhok having played the caregiver role for Day for so long is definitely the main reason for this, and it's beautiful to watch.

Speaking of transparency in their relationship, can I take a moment to talk about just how much I loved this scene? Mhok was upset about the prank, and Day wasn't taking it seriously. Mhok could have clammed up, creating tension between the two. It would even be expected, given his role as Day's caretaker and the 'put Day first' mentality that we've seen so far. But he doesn't, and oh my god, this calls for aplause. He calls Day out on it, and gives Day a taste of his own medicine. And, this is something that perfectly shows that things are not the same now that they're boyfriends. Mhok gets more agency, more say, because he's one half of the relationship. I've said thia before about the subversion of faen fatale, and I'll say it again; Last Twilight has a very strong identity as a show, and a very strong grasp on what it's doing. Time and time again, it has shown us opportunities that it could have taken to create drama, and veered in the opposite direction entirely. The subversion is intentional, and clearly so.
While we're talking about characters standing up for their feelings..

I feel like someone should create a masterpost of everything we know about Night, and we can add on every bit of new info we get and compare it to the rest, because everything tells us so little yet so much. It seems that Night is still willing to push against Day's hatred. But of course, he's more willing to allow Day to live happily, as we see him letting the two go off on their own. It seems that every time Night does something for Day, he prefers to do it anonymously, such as showing up to the race. We've seen that he's accepted the villain image. Is this why he seems keen on upholding that villain image in front of Day, while helping him behind his back? P'Aof isn't one to write conflict for small or petty reason, so I'm starting to be more and more convinced that Night genuinely did something wrong to Day. He regrets it, but he also knows he can't take it back or heal their bond, so he's simply keeping the status quo, helping his brother behind his back, while only allowing himself to be selfish on occasion, like this one. I'm so intrigued by Night and his mannerisms, his actions.
Back tracking a bit again, (this is a mess)

This scene was a pivotal moment. I've previously mentioned that Day was living in a fantasy, and I've also briefly touched on Day's sence of normalcy in a post, how he was relying on things to go back to 'normal' and how he's been able to build a new normal with Mhok. He'd get the transplant eventually, and things would go back to 'normal'. Mhok helped Day redefine his 'normal', but the hope that his sight would return one day was still present. Here, it's shattered. Up till now, Day was living his life as if he were biding his time till he got his eyesight back. Now he's going to be living as if he has to wrap up a lifetime of memories in three months. He's feeling as though time is running out.

I think this is one of the first times I've seen Day talk back to his mom, which is fair, because it's ingrained in asian kids to not talk back to your elders. Day is, in the end, a rich kid. On top of that, he has a single mom. 1+1=2, Day didn't get to see much of his mom growing up. @waitmyturtles talked about this a bit in a post, mentioning how Day's mom's career always came first. She didn't have time to attend a game because she had an event, she couldn't come to school for something because she had a meeting, etc etc. (I don't know how much of an age gap there is between Day and Night, but anyone thinking that Night had to fill in on occasion..?) He's making a jab at his mom, that she's far to busy to be there with him for stuff, and she's far too overprotective to let another be there with him for it. Again, typical rich family dysfunction. Day and his mother's dynamic will be an interesting thing to watch as the episodes progress, that's for sure.
Alright, onto the last one

When I'm not sure if there's a deeper meaning behind a scene, music is always a great clue that there is something greater behind it. As episodes progress, we've seen Day slowly reassimilate himself in society. This is such an important theme, because being a part of and engaging with society is a huge part of asian culture. I view this dance as a sort of culmination of the progress that Day has made over time with Mhok. Would the Day at the beginning of the series have danced with a stranger at a party while having worse eyesight that before? No way in hell. Also, paying respect and interactling with older people is, again, a HUGE part of asian culture, so this was essentially the perfect way to depict this culmination. When the first episode had aired, @twig-tea had first introduced in a post the theme of liminality in Last Twilight. One of the definitions given was "of, relating to, or being an intermediate state, phase, or condition : IN-BETWEEN, TRANSITIONAL". Since Mhok entered Day's life, he's been in a liminal (transitional) state, as he moves closer to rejoing society. In this scene, we see what I'd like to say is the end of this liminal state. Of course, this isn't to say that Day is no longer in a state of liminality. Liminality presents itself in various ways throughout the show. This is simply a culmination of Day and Mhok's efforts to reintegrate Day into society. While the battle is far from over; disable people often find themselves outcasted and removed from society; it's a sign of hope, a sign of growth, a sign that their efforts have a result.
#every week these posts keep getting longer#and i dont know what to do about it#this show is brilliant#last twilight#last twilight the series#last twilight meta

✧ priya diwani as your girlfriend ✧
note: here i come with priya as ur gf headcanons. gosh i cant wait to continue her route, shes so *screams*. all these are sfw but dont worry nsfw ones are coming soon too wksksk enjoy candies!!!
she’s usually waking up earlier than you and enjoys making you breakfast. sometimes she’ll wait for you to wake up by its delicious smell or, when she wants to spoil you, she’ll bring it to your bed.
and not only she cooks breakfast, but she’s the one cooking most of the meals! she’s learnt so many recipes from all the places she’s been at and she’s a great cook. it’s one of her love languages.
it’s impossible to get bored with her, she always has something in mind to do. during the weekends she loves organizing dates, something different for every week: a concert, a pic-nic at the park, a shopping day are just a few examples. she also loves surprising you, so it won’t happen rarely for you to reveive a “get ready at 8 pm” text from her without further explanation.
steals your clothes all the time. not necessarily to wear them, she mostly does it when you’re not together and she misses you– not once you got home and found her asleep while hugging one of your shirts. your perfume is such a weakness for her.
jealous. oh, she’s so jealous and she’s deeply aware of it. that’s why she tries to hide it, however it’s just so obvious sometimes. she’ll see someone flirts with you and immediately join the conversation, wrapping an arm around your waist and asking you to introduce your “new acquaintance” to her with the biggest, most strained smile ever.
provokes you a lot. she’s a tease who loves making you blush, with her witty remarks and self confidence that, sometimes, can be intimidating. she also has no problem putting you back in your place when you fuck up. but you don’t really mind, do you? :)
she has this habit of brushing your hair when you’re stressed. you’ll be venting up about your bad day, and she’d begin to run her fingers through your hair while nodding at you to let you know she’s listening.
gets whiny when you don’t mind her. if she’s talking and you keep doing whatever you’re doing without really listening, she’ll become a little bit of a brat; tugging at your clothes, repeating your name, doing anything to catch your attention, really. so give her attention.
im so weak for her i cant even put it into words. those bitchass APs of mine better accumulate fast istg i need ep 9 illustration of uni life.

YAKAR: Yet another Kirby Anime Rewrite - Episode Arrangement and Changes
Okay, let's get talking about the episodes
One issue I have with the episodes is not just how they were written, but the arrangement is just
OOOUGH.
Like, most of the huge important main lore episodes are like, what, IN THE FIRST 4 EPISODES???
Which that could be fine if the rest of the series made up for that and included that same level of importance those episodes had. But news flash!
Most of the episodes are filler outside of a handful.
And that's bad.
So, I decided to rearrange the episodes and keep the important lore episodes out of the early series.
Additionally, I picked out some episodes that I felt were a bit repetitive and nothing would change if I removed them.
With that out of the way, here are the changes I made to fix these issues
Reasons for keeping an episode
Lore introduced
New characters
Character arc
New copy abilities
New monster
Personal reasons (I love this episode so much that I cried)
If this episode is gone, there is no ending
Episodes keeping
Ep 1 (Rewrite) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Ep 2 (Rewrite maybe?) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Ep 3 (Rewrite and move the episode placement) [1, 4
Ep 4 (Rewrite and move the episode placement) [1, 2, 5 (Kirby starts to talk more here)
Ep 5 (Rewrite) [2
Ep 7 Reasons [2,
Ep 8 (Rewrite and include new scene, move episode placement) [3
Ep 9 (Maybe a rewrite but move episode placement) [1, 5
Ep 10 [1, 2
Ep 11 [1, 2
Ep 12 (move placement) [3
Ep 13 [4, 6
Ep 15 [3, 6
Ep 18 (Rewrite) [3, 6
Ep 19 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Ep 20 [2, 3, 6
Ep 21 (Rewrite) [2, 3, 6
Ep 22 (Rewrite and move placement) [1, 2, (This episode is our introduction to the star warriors)
Ep 23 (Rewrite) [1 (Tokkori backstory briefly mentioned here)

Last Twilight Finale Thoughts
Had to go back to my clown checkpoint from ep 10, which I originally wrote in response to a conversation between @lurkingshan and @my-rose-tinted-glasses! How did the Last Twilight finale stack against my wishlist?
We got 6/8:
Mork opens that $@#&&#&# glove compartment (ie finally process his grief around Rung)
Mork speaks to Rung at her grave
Mork has workplace satisfaction and stability (ie we get something on canon to show that he's not afraid of being fired at any moment, and enjoys his new career) ['m counting the way he's shown trying out new recipes after the second timeskip towards this]
Day making plans for his future and acting towards them (enrolling in university or courses of some kind, most likely)--this is necessary whether or not he can see in future
Day's mom unclenches (we see her proactively stepping away from controlling Day's life)
We get Day's mom's perspective on what happened with Day's dad [honestly at this point this is a nice to have]
Night is perceived and happy (by Porjai most likely but I'm flexible)
Porjai feels safe and cared for (by Night most likely but I'm flexible)
And yet I was unsatisfied by this episode. Why? Because it did so many other things that I didn't even think I'd have to guard against in my wishlist, and the execution of what we did get was muddled!
I'm so mad about the glove compartment. They mentioned that thing at least three times, it was teased that Rung used it a lot and kept all kinds of stuff in there, and the last time it was mentioned, we heard that it had been fixed, and yet. AND YET. The glove compartment stayed closed and unseen.
This is how I feel about all of the important growth that happened for these characters. Mork's processing his grief for Rung, Day's building his life as a blind person (including using his cane), Day's mom moving past her internalized ableism, Mork learning how to be a partner rather than a caretaker, Day's father realizing he needs to be a better dad, Day and Mork learning how to navigate their social class difference in their relationship; we didn't really get to see any of that. We were just told it had been fixed now, off screen, like the glove compartment.
We did get to see the brothers reconcile and work on being brothers again, I will give the show that.
Also just to say, wow this aged poorly (from the same post linked above, written after ep10):
Mork, in contrast to Day's mother, has always been interested in encouraging Day to learn independence from him, even though Mork's situation in Day's life is potentially so much more precarious than Day's mom is.
I'll say the same thing I said after the ep 11 fight--it isn't the plot points themselves in the latter part of this series I have a problem with, it's how they've been executed. Characters don't feel consistent, what the show tells us happened doesn't seem to reflect what we saw in the show itself, and what the show says is important is then retconned or not addressed.
TL;DR even though the finale hit the bulk of my wishlist it still fumbled the execution and so I found it unsatisfying despite giving me most of what I asked for.

for no reason whatsoever my brain immediately assumed that the halloween party would happen towards the end of episode 8, or at least in the second half
the police arriving at the party and the problem with the drugs, along with all the theories about who called the cops and if anybody's gonna be arrested, feels to me like an end-of-episode moment. classic cliffhanger, right?
and maybe that's really how things are gonna happen but maybe not, because I noticed that some scenes in the preview for next ep can only make sense if we consider them happening after the party
that's way I have a little theory based on that:
1. this specific topmew scene


we can see them in their university clothes (idk how to call them, is there a better term?), in what kinda looks like a bathroom to me but that's not really important, so maybe they meet after class? I'm focusing on this because top's sentence leads me to believe this is after we get to actually see mew's bad state at the party


2. the nick and papang interaction


we don't know yet if nick's scenes with papang are actually related to nick's plan to earn boston's forgiveness, that's what the preview makes me think but the only friends previews have always been pretty deciveing on purpose. what really matters to me anyway is the shirt nick is wearing in that second scene tho, and the assumption that it also takes place after the party
3. sand starts to take some distance from ray


after the raymew dance scene, and the talk with ray outside yolo, we can see that sand is actually starting to walk away from ray– he's finally setting some boundaries, not letting ray walk all over him. those two scenes, both taking place at night, are the only sandray scenes we are shown– sand and ray are the only ones that don't have a daytime scene in the preview
now to my final theory, after considering all the above (and in case you're wondering, yes, the previous ones were points to give my main theory context and recipes) :
that sandray scene from the series' trailer


if the halloween party happens relatively early in the episode, and if the scenes we see of the guys in university are after that, we could finally have this 0:02 seconds scene from the trailer in our hands.
it all makes sense to me: ray showing how selfish and possessive he truly is as soon as he notices sand getting away, not caring at all about how he's been hurting him all this time– and we can see that from sand's expression.
also thinking about sand being like "we cannot be friends we were never friends" / "fuck it I'm gonna kiss this guy just because he's also dressed as freddie mercury" / "i'm not one of your options ray", at which point ray could start to realize sand really means it and be like "you're not going anywhere".
now, I don't know if anyone else had the same initial thought as me or if from the start it was pretty clear to everybody that some scenes are supposed to happen post-party– that wasn't my case tho so i wanted to share it even if in the end I might be totally wrong
#here's my monday theory#only friends the series#only friends series#ofts#only friends#sandray#raysand#topmew#bostonnick#ofts sand#ofts ray#ofts top#ofts mew#ofts nick#only friends spoilers#only friends meta

J2 Gold Panel DC Con 2023
To start off the panel Jared notices that a fan's shirt says the only thing they're putting jeans and boots on for this weekend is food, whiskey, and Jensen Ackles, and he says he takes his jeans off for Jensen...sir in front of everyone 👀
First question comes from a fan who got them candy but Jensen throws Jared's so Jared has to go get them 😆 For anyone confused this is because the fan got Jared Twizzlers since he said he liked them at the last con but Jensen doesn't like them and prefers red vines.
What snacks do they eat when watching the football game?
Jensen answers chips and salsa.
Jared says he has a funny story, when they worked together they did an ep about a lucky penny, and one Sunday Tom Welling who was still doing Smallville went over and they did a BBQ, and Tom brought some family salad recipe that had Doritos in it and some maui ribs and some other stuff, so they eat then a couple days later Jared comes home late from work or something and he's a little hungry so he goes to the fridge and sees the Maui ribs that Tom had brought over. He snacked on them, went to bed, and didn't realize until the next morning that the ribs had been raw. I literally screamed when he said this, as y'all can guess he was dog sick.
And Jensen says the problem is that Jared didn't realize they were uncooked until he asked him about them! They lived together at the time so Jensen got home looking for the ribs cause he wanted to cook them and when he asked Jared about them Jared replied he ate them well he knows Jared and he knows he isn't going to fire up the grill when he's hungry he just eats but he still asks how he cooked them, and that's when Jared tells him he didn't cook them he just ate them.
How do you make a mistake like this??? 😭
So, poor Jared is sick as a dog, and the next day they're filming in Squamish, the whole ride there he's trying not to throw up. He gets there, they look at him, and send him to his trailer. Then they call a nurse to give him a shot of vitamin B and some other stuff so most of the coverage of them when they're in the booth talking to each other when Jensen is talking it's not to him he was in his trailer for like 8hrs throwing up and with diarrhea.
Jensen says he was like "I don't want him projectile vomiting unto me, get him out off here and get a stand in and put a wig on the guy."
Then he jokes that he realized how much better the experience is so for the next 8 seasons he didn't work with the guy and Jared quips but they still lived together. x
Something interesting is that Jensen says they were roommates for all of s4, but Jared says 5 as well and Jensen's like no, it was only one season but that if Jared wants to stretch it into 2 that's fine and Jared goes 4 to 12. Like seasons 4 to 12. And I just find it a very interesting exchange especially Jared's reaction when Jensen tries to deny that they lived together for more than one season he throws his hands up and goes 'fine, fine' like how one does when you know someone is lying about something or remembering incorrectly but you're not gonna argue with them about it.
If they could give each other stripper or porn names what would they be?
Jensen and I had the same confusion cause we both thought this person was saying board games 🤣
Jensen first understood board games, then it was porn games and he was like who ordered an extra sausage on their pizza to which Jared raises his hand and Jensen goes "it's a spicy meatball" and Jared replies "two of them". 😂
Jared says Moosetacular has a certain je ne sais quoi and Jensen says Mooseknuckle. Jensen asks if there isn't a certain formula to figure out your porn name and the fans give different answers but Jared says they're doing the name of their first pet and the name of the street they grew up on so he is Booty Montclair. That's actually fantastic. And Jensen is Pudgy Midway. x
Did Jared ever get his knee fixed?
Jared says no but he's there and loving it. He's treating it with physical therapy and rehabbing it. Jensen says Jared is learning to live with it much like he did with him. And can I just say he does not look happy he even kind of cuts Jared off when he's finishing answering the question and picks out the next fan to ask something. I think he wishes Jared would take care of it which is understandable, he's probably worried about him, but I gotta say I understand where Jared is coming from for not having the surgery sometimes the remedy is worse than the sickness. x
Is cereal a soup?
Jared says no. Jensen says technically yeah, it's just grain soup, or multigrain soup.
Jared says that you cook soup but the crowd points out gazpacho which is an uncooked, cold soup.
Jensen says he doesn't know if there are milk-based soups, there is cream sometimes in soup but it's traditionally in a broth base, there has to be some sort of broth but someone mentions clam chowder and that has a cream base so Jensen says the fan is right.
Jared asks the fan what they think and they say it is a soup like a hot dog is a sandwich and that's when he loses the crowd and also Jensen who says no. And Jared pats Jensen's chest to calm him down. x
How often do they think about the Roman Empire?
They both know they're being asked this for a reason but Jared doesn't know what the reason is, Jensen does because he had been asked this the previous night for the first time. He answers several times a week. But he hadn't thought about that until he was asked.
Jared says he doesn't think about it unless maybe if he's in Rome but Jeensen tells him to think about all the things that he does think about that are related to the Roman empire so he might not even realize that he's thinking about it.
For context, the reason they were asked about this is because it's a TikTok trend right now to ask men how often they think about the Roman Empire because apparently, men think about the Roman Empire a lot. x
Have they ever been star-struck meeting another celeb?
Jensen says Jared is a big fan of Pearl Jam, and they went to a charity concert where the lead singer of the band, Eddie Vedder was performing and they got the chance to meet him, after he played, in a very intimate setting probably no more than the people in the room at that moment. So they walk up and someone introduces them, and Jared just stiffens up and Jensen's trying to play it cool, and Eddie in true rock and roll fashion is smoking a cigarette. Jared, who does not smoke, asks if he can get a drag of the cigarette, Jensen just turns to look at him, and Eddie slowly hands him the cigarette so Jared grabs it out of his hand, takes a puff of the cigarette, coughs, and goes to hand it back and Eddie goes "you keep it" so Jensen told him it was nice to meet him, walked Jared to the parking lot and they left.
Jared says he left, went home and flew back to Van at like 6am and was like "I always wish I wouldn't act like that" x
If there were a movie made about their lives who would they want playing them?
Jensen jokes Barry Watson would play Jared. Jared shares the story about how one time Sandy was flying from LA to go visit him in Van and the guy she was sitting next to asked what she was traveling for, she said she was going to visit her boyfriend, guy asked what the boyfriend does she tells him he's filming a show called Supernatural that just started, and the guy says he has seen it and asks if her boyfriend is the short one or the one from 7th Heaven. He thought Jared was Barry Watson.
Jensen goes Meryl Streep cause she can do anything.
Jared says Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis could play Jensen better than Jensen. x
Next fan challenges Jensen to rock, paper, scissors.
Jensen wins with scissors. x
What is a sports moment they wish they could go back and change or are still mad about?
Jensen says he has two. First, when he was in the 9th-grade basketball team there was a very important game and they needed a win. He stole the ball and had a breakaway layup on the other end, he thought he was gonna be king of the school but he airballed it which means he missed the shot. He wishes he could take that back. The second moment was in his senior year he was on the baseball team and he was batting against a guy who went on to have a very long career in the major leagues. The guy was Kerry Wood, he's a pitcher and he was throwing 90 mph as an 18-year-old.
So they have a runner on first and he looks down the third base coach to get his signal cause they give him a signal on what to do and basically through signals they told him he was gonna send the runner to steal second but they needed him to swing away to rob the catcher from throwing him out on second base so he was supposed to swing the ball but Wood's threw a 90+ mph fastball that he never saw. The runner got thrown out on second base, Jensen struck out, and the coach was not happy.
Jared says he thinks it says something about them that they don't remember game-winning goals cause what he remembers is when he was like 11 or 12yrs old- if you get fouled in basketball while shooting you get two shots but sometimes the foul count is at like 8 and you get a foul dribbling which means you get a one-one so you get the first shot and you can get a second shot so he got a one-one and shot the free throw and missed which meant the ball was still in play. But everybody is standing around waiting for him to make the second shot which he wasn't entitled to but he realizes nobody was aware the ball was still in play so he tells his team mate who the ball had bounced over to to pass it to him and he drives straight down the lane and he missed the layup so the other team got the score.
As somebody who knows nothing about sports this was very confusing.
Also, Jensen was trying to ask Jared a question about this and Jared wasn't understanding so Jensen just slaps his arm to get his attention. x
And that was the Gold panel! Real quickly I want to mention that according to the fan who recorded this panel Jensen was checking up on Jared prior to going on the stage to make sure he was okay because this is a very emotional con.
For those who may still not know Krista, also known as Kreespa, who has provided the fandom with wonderful panel recordings over the years was sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer and this was the last convention she was attending so it was dedicated to her. That's why you'll see them wearing a green shirt that says Kristacon on it.

Here's How I'd Fix S1 Ep5.5 of Link Click
I originally posted this outline on AO3 some time ago, but I wanted to share it here as well.
Link Click is one of my favorite animes/donghuas. For the most part, the show's writing is spectacular, but not everything is perfect. This is my attempt to constructively rewrite certain aspects of Episode 5.5 “Marrying by Contesting.” I’ve also reordered the episode to appear sooner in the series for a couple of reasons.
If someone has already figured this out, please feel free to add your thoughts and/or direct me to where this has already been said! I'd also love to hear your thoughts!
Warning: I haven't renewed my Crunchyroll subscription so I don't have access to screenshots right now, and the other sites I know of don't have Ep. 5.5 listed at all fsr.
Here’s how I’d rewrite this episode:
1. (Timestamp: 8:36) Delete or rewrite this line calling the Nokia an “antique.” For instance, just change it to, “Put that away!” Let’s say CXS dived to the year 1990. This year is plausible for two reasons: Nokia phones were common, and Xu Wen has aged since then. Let’s also say that the current year in the present timeline is 2020. (Worldwide pandemics obviously do not exist in this world lmao)
2. (Timestamp: 9:25) Remove this shot of Qiao Ling entirely. It could be a flashback, but it mostly looks like she’s watching them use their powers in real-time when she shouldn’t know about them.
3. Change Xu Wen’s and Ouyang's present ages to approximately 50 years old, not 70-80. Change their appearances from all gray hair and hunched backs to brown hair with subtle grays. Making them look middle-aged makes the situation and timeline feel more believable. If they’re approx. 20 yrs old in 1990, they’d be approx. 50 yrs old in 2020. (Still a hella long time to stay unmarried because your gf’s dad beats you up every year lmao, but that’s the point.)
4. Retitle/reorder Episode 5.5 to Episode 3 for two reasons.
Reason 1: It wouldn’t suddenly interrupt the Doudou arc as an abrupt filler.
Reason 2: The callbacks to Emma’s death make more sense and would line up like this:
Same — Episode 1 — “Emma”
Emma dies.
Same — Episode 2 — “Secret Recipe”
CXS looks through noodle lesbian photos and asks, “I wonder… if we were ever to disagree, would we still be friends?” Lu Guang thinks back to the news of Emma’s death, but does not answer the question.
Change — Episode 3 — “Marrying by Contesting”
Qiao Ling hears the news about the serial murders and wants to protect herself. She meets Xu Wen at the dojo and hears his story about how he’s fought his lover’s dad for approval for years. (Side note: Although she hears about the news, neither she nor CXS can know that Emma was one of the victims.)
Change — Episode 4 — “To Lose, Not To Win”
The basketball episode becomes Ep. 4, not 3. Opens with Qiao Ling jogging. She may or may not be listening to the news again. It’s not necessary because both she and the audience know about the serial killings as implied at the beginning of Episode 3. It doesn’t hurt to add it in either because it adds the signature Link Click tension, though that in itself may be laying on the tension too thick.
In the present, Chen Xiao approaches her, and the scene alternates with the gang training with Xu Wen. This is another reason why I’m more inclined for her to not listen to the news in this episode’s present because we already see the tension build up by showing Xu Wen’s dojo as Qiao Ling and the others are training. The characters could even have a conversation in which they briefly mention the serial murders, and there could be a single frame showing Lu Guang’s subtle apprehension over Emma’s death.
Xu Wen is tough on them but supportive. Qiao Ling needs to fight her way to be strong. She and CXS progress at the same rate. Neither is more overpowered than the other, which would demonstrate the status quo for both sexes and not pander for just one or the other. (We need to show Qiao Ling’s development, not a live-action Mulan situation.) This would also offer an opportunity for more sibling dynamic behavior as Qiao Ling and CXS make mistakes and tease each other together.
Back to the present. Instead of Lu Guang protecting Qiao Ling from Chen Xiao, Qiao Ling protects herself. Leads to funny interrogation—Chen Xiao is truly harmless, and Qiao Ling hasn’t fully harnessed her self-defense skills yet.
Putting ”Marrying by Contesting” before this interaction also explains why Qiao Ling is able to fight both in this scene and later in Season 2. The only flashback we see of the gang learning from Xu Wen in the dojo (excluding that one mini short) is right before CXS sucker-punches Aunt May as Doudou. So having an additional flashback of Xu Wen’s dojo in “To Lose, Not To Win” develops Qiao Ling’s abilities and even CXS’s when he dives as Xu Shanshan twice and defends himself.
And the rest of the Season 1 episodes carry on as usual. Basketball -> Earthquake -> Doudou -> Xu Shanshan -> Liu Min’s capture -> Finale.
