XINA: What the shock happened to you? MIGUEL: I'm not sure. What're you doing here? I thought you were heading home. XINA: I hit a roadblock. MIGUEL: That being...? XINA: My picturing you out here alone, trying to make it without me to hold your hand. After all, Miguel, you're so frail. You know how I worry about you.

20 years ago, on this day the first volume of Durarara!! (デュラララ!!) was released in Japan. This volume contains the Dollars/Mika Harima arc, which is the start and readers' first meeting with such a well written plot, complex characters and artsy language.

Happy 20th anniversary to Durarara!! It will be forever my favorite media; no book, anime or manga can come close to the place that Durarara!! has in my heart. It will remain as a unique and one of a kind work, not only to me but to many other readers as well.

HEAD HEART HANDS

The trio in Dystopia; the red and blue color scheme crosses city lines.

[ Henry stares at a distant focal point with an unreadable expression, flanked on both sides by silhouettes of Charlotte and Jasper, both of whom sport one visible red eye. Henry’s hands are loose at his sides, with no visible weapons. His clothes are worn, with ambiguous scuffs and tarnish. A pair of sunglasses is hooked into his waistband. Above their heads hang a bright blue sun. ]

When the interviewer asked when we should expect s5 to be coming out, that’s when Shawn mentioned that a little bit of an answer to that might be out there soon.

He actually mentions that this answer could be out by the time the video for this interview comes out, and since this interview was filmed mid-May and it’s now mid-June, I’m assuming we could be getting something soon or within the next couple months, potentially about a release date aka possibly a small teaser with 2025 stamped at the end…

Spockanalia #1: Excerpt from the Young Vulcan's Handbook of Emotional Control

Excerpt from The Young Vulcan's Handbook of Emotional Control

translated by Shirley Meech

(The following is an excerpt from a Vulcan book-tape, obtained via the Baggins method, from the possessions of Commander Spock, on his recent visit to Earth. The tape is well worn, and sensor readings show that it is nearly as old as the subject himself, suggesting that he made frequent use of it from an early age.)

Historical fact: Actions based on primitive emotion nearly destroyed our race, our culture, and even our planet. Actions based on reason and logic prevented this catastrophe.

Sociological fact: The preservation of our civilization depends upon the suppression by every individual of all emotions. One uncontrolled emotion leads to another as a spark leads to a roaring inferno, and one person's unrestrained emotion can lead to the breakdown of control in many others. Therefore, it is expected that every person shall do his duty in upholding logic and eradicating emotion.

The standard instruction in logical behavior will teach you many techniques useful for developing and maintaining the controlled personality. The following instructions have been found useful in the acquisition of these skills.

When at all possible, avoid or withdraw from situations which will place your emotional control in jeopardy. When this is not possible:

Keep in mind these Basic Ideas

You are not an infant.

You are not a savage or a predator.

To give in to emotion never improves a situation; it can only create greater difficulties.

Each instance of successful control makes the practice easier; any lapse makes future control more difficult.

Civilization depends upon your logic and emotional control. You must not fail.

Use these Basic Techniques

Check first impulse to emotional action.

Control physical reactions such as tears, laughter, trembling, etc. Breathe deeply; keep your hands at your sides or behind your back, or turn away; use pain control when necessary.

Mentally repeat the Basic Ideas.

Concentrate on positive action which will improve the situation.

If no positive action can be taken, divert the mind from dwelling upon thoughts which will produce undesirable reactions. Count to ten, repeat the multiplication table, verbalize your personal strength, etc.

Emotions cause premature, uncontrolled release of physical energy, which must be suppressed until it can be channeled into constructive activity or released in an acceptable manner, such as extra calisthenics.

Specific Emotions

In addition to the Basic Ideas and Basic Techniques, the following specific dangers must be remembered in dealing with emotions.

Anger—Those who succumb to this most illogical of behaviors often injure persons or objects. They may be so gauche as to shout or use abusive language. Therefore, confine your words to statements of fact and do not raise your voice.

Grief—You must not give in to tears. Remember your age, your responsibilities, and your duties.

Fear—Remember that you are a Vulcan. There is never any cause to demonstrate such a weakness.

Love—Care must be taken to avoid showing this emotion by words, and especially by touch. It is best to avoid touching other persons entirely except for specific, acceptable reasons.

Happiness—This is a much overrated emotional state, which leads to such unsophisticated behavior as laughter. This is undignified and unacceptable. A silent smile may be permitted on rare occasion, but never laughter. However, when you are engaged in subduing all the emotions, the temptation to indulge in this state will greatly diminish.

(TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: You bet your pointed ears, it will.)
