#this just tells you how strong my willpower is y’all LOL

[im-no-jedi]

I have this weird relationship with the laundry chore. doing the laundry is honestly the most tolerable house chore to me, however there’s one aspect of it that’s borderline sensory overload for me cause I cannot STAND the feeling of wet fabric (any wet fabric, doesn’t matter what kind). so for the majority of the chore, I’m perfectly fine, downright vibing honestly. but then I get to the part when I have to put the wet clothes from the washer into the dryer, and my brain is just constantly screaming “BAD SENSORY!!!! BAD SENSORY!!!!” until it’s over ROFL

Work guy stuff:

Glad y'all are rooting for me lmao. I got his number and it's been kind of slow. I wasn't sure what to send him so I sent him a meme I told him about and he thought was funny. I was all "Here's the meme I know you didn't ask for. Hope you enjoy" and he responded with "Yeah, thanks!" And even though it was simple I still smiled like an idiot at my phone 💀💀

Yesterday he seemed really tense? So I kind of kept quiet. Then I did something dumb, idek what and I cracked a joke and he laughed and opened up a bit more. I asked about the motorcycle and how he learned and he didn't offer to teach me but he did give me some suggestions!

Then I told him if I ever got too annoying that he could tell me to be quiet and all he said was "oh no, you're fine." So??? I assume I don't annoy him?

Hoping he's a bit less tense on Wednesday when we work again. I wanted to ask if he was alright but I didn't wanna step on toes and cross a boundary 😭😭

He told me all about his pigs he owns yesterday though, it was so cute fr 👹‼️‼️ he keeps body shaming himself tho so I might end up fighting him, idk yet. Might be all "mf you're extremely handsome and strong, stop rn," if he keeps it up 😤😤

ALSO HE LIKE KEPT WATCHING ME WORK??? I WAS SANDING A DOOR WOTH HIM, HE WAS ON ONE SIDE AND I WAS ON THE OTHER. HE'D STOP AND COME AROUND AND WATCH ME 😭 BUT HE KNELT DOWN THE ONE TIME AND I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED HIS HAIR AND IT WAS SO. FUCKING. SOFT. I wanted to run my fingers through it, but I stopped myself 🙄

Also he doesn't want kids 😌 we were talking about his crazy cousin who wanted a kid all through highschool and I stated I didn't want kids and he was all. "Me neither, little crotch goblins." And I chuckled and told him how my dad one day was all. "Man, it's a good thing I have six other kids, because I know for a fact you probably aren't gonna give me grandkids." And I told him "bingo bongo, you might get some grand-dog-kids but that's about it." AND WORK GUY WAS ALL "Hey, nothing wrong with that." And his face was a little red??? Idk man, I thought it was something 🤭🤭

Yaaaas more work guy stuff we are truly blessed this day 🙏🏻

Of course we’re all rooting for you! This all sounds promising 😌 I’m glad you have each other’s numbers and you’ve broken the ice a little more with a meme!

Oh man, sorry he was tense. I hope everything is alright at home for him. I’m sure it’ll clear up by Wednesday but if he’s still down, maybe try to cheer him up a little? You don’t have to pry or anything, just be your nice self 😌 I hope one day he’ll at least take you on a motorcycle ride!!!

He owns pigs?!?! Omg I love that so much. Tell him you want pig pics because that’s enough to make any one’s day! And if he keeps body shaming himself tell him he’s wrong 😤 he’s big and stronk and handsome and that’s just how we like em.

Ooooooo if he’s watching you there must be something he likes 😉 and omg it must have taken all of your willpower to not pet his hair like a damn dog lol, I’m a sucker for boys with soft hair.

And hey it’s always good to be on the same page about kids! Y’all are compatible since you both want to be child free and that’s important! This is overall very promising and I’m interested to see what happens next!

Reacting To: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Season 2 Episode 10)

Episode Title: Heroes on Fire

Spoiler Warning: Kindly proceed if you’ve already seen the episode or are able to handle spoilers.

*Apologies for the tardiness. I meant to post this a few days ago but I was busy sorting out other things. Hope you understand 😊

1. 2 days earlier? I didn’t think we’d get another flashback lol. We go back to the moment where Kipo managed to find her mom (Song, the Mega Monkey) tied to a giant tree. We already saw this but what we didn’t see was the fact that Mulholland was inside the water she fed to her mom. I’m guessing Mulholland will try to reach into Song’s inner thoughts?

2. Mulholland gets inside her brain and creates a vision for Song, where he introduces himself to her. He then tells her that he freed her from her mind control and will continue to help her stay that way. That’s a really smart plan; I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Song asks Mulholland to tell Kipo that she loves her. OMG, why am I about to cry this early on? Also, it’s a nice little touch for the writers to make it so that Song is struggling to speak since she hasn’t done that in 13 years. 

3. Back to the present and the predicament at hand; Scarlemagne has already started to spray the humans with his pheromones all throughout the stadium. We also see the Timbercats plus Troy, Asher (who is just confirmed to be non-binary btw) and Dahlia hiding themselves in their oh so fluffy tails. Troy spots his dad, Roberto in the crowd. Wait, why is Roberto there? Shouldn’t he be back at Dr. Emilia’s hideout? Am I missing something?

4. Oh! It’s been a trick all along. DUH! It makes sense because Kipo had poured Mulholland into Scarlemagne’s vat of pheromone and that’s the reason why all the humans aren’t being mind-controlled at the moment. Song proceeds to flick Scarlemagne away (literally) and she then breaks off a dome so that everyone can get on it to escape. 

5. Kipo asks Mulholland to get inside Lio to snap him out of his mind-control but before he goes in, he tells Kipo that he doesn’t think he’s able to get her out of her Mega Monkey form since she’s been that way for a long time. I think Song needs her own anchor. Eventually, Scarlemagne gets up and orders his primate nobles to attack Song and stop the humans from escaping.

6. Benson, Wolf and Dave are fighting off Lemieux, Gerard and another noble that looks like Lemieux (what’s his/her name anyways?). Wolf is handicapped since she doesn’t have Stalky with her and Dave isn’t fairing well either. Where’s Benson? Oh right, he’s grabbed by Lemieux’s flamingo. Lucky for him; Dave molts into his super strong form and defeats both Lemieux 2.0 and Gerard. 

7. As Benson is about to be dropped into the gold fountain, Dave rescues him by delivering a solid punch to Lemieux’s face. Unfortunately, at the same time, Benson’s backpack was dropped into the fountain. He thinks that Song’s journal was inside the backpack but I swear I thought he left it back at Dr. Emilia’s HQ? Now they’re worried for Kipo since her anchor is gone supposedly. 

8. We switch things over to Kipo and she’s fighting off Scarlemagne with her two jaguar paws. She was about to fully transform until Benson stops her and tells her he lost the journal. Am I crazy for thinking he didn’t put it in his backpack? Back to Song; she puts down the dome and all the humans exit from it. Mandu then shows them an entrance that would take them underground. 

9. I find it strange how Kipo is having a hard time beating Scarlemagne. Is he that strong? I kinda figured she would be able to beat him even without fully transforming into a jaguar. Well, at least she won’t have to do it alone because Wolf, Benson and Dave arrive to help. But still, that isn’t enough because he’s still whipping their butts, even combined! Wow, he is really strong. 

10. Troy, Asher and Dalia and the Timbercats notice the fight and they decide to help Kipo out. Well, that should help. But isn’t that like 30 against 1 lol? Wolf takes Scarlemagne’s crown and drops it into the fountain, angering him as a result. He then accuses Kipo of pretending to care about him and proceeds to break the lever that controls the gold fountain. Next thing we see is a huge rush of liquid gold flowing into the stadium. The Timbercats rush to help them.

11. Scarlemagne is flying away to make his escape but his flamingo’s wings get caught by a stream of the liquid gold and they both fall into the audience section of the stadium, causing Scarlemagne to hit his head and become unconscious. 

12. Oh and our boy, Benson gets reunited with Troy again. Yayy! And the same song that was played when they first met last season is playing here once again. Benson is definitely a disaster gay; He couldn’t form proper sentences around him; How cute is that?!

13. Lio notices that Scarlemagne is lying on the staircase and he makes the decision to save him. It’s a good call in my opinion. However, the others mutes (that can’t fly) are stuck in the audience and they can’t escape the rising liquid gold. Kipo tells everyone that she has to fully transform so that she will be strong enough to knock a tree down to stop the liquid gold from rising further. Therefore, she is willing to risk losing herself to her Mega Jaguar form to save the mutes. I now have a feeling that the anchor is with Dr. Emilia. Let’s see if I’m right. 

14. Despite everyone’s objection, Kipo proceeds to quickly transform and with the help of her mom, Song, both of them combine forces to try to push down the tree. However, the tree isn’t budging over. As she’s seeing the gold rising closer and closer to her friends and family, she somehow gathers enough willpower to uncover a new transformation and becomes an even stronger jaguar with 3 tails and 6 legs. Dang, that was sooo cool. And so, the both of them are able to push over the tree to stop the liquid gold in its tracks. 

15. Kipo is trying to turn back into a human but she isn’t able too. Meanwhile, the humans bump into Dr. Emilia in the tunnel and she gives a speech about humans needing to rise up and mutes needing to be cured and be turned back into animals. I would be so disappointed if they decide to join her.

16. Lio assures Kipo that their relationship with her isn’t going to change despite her being a Mega Jaguar. Wolf then tries to remind Kipo of all the good things that she has done and how much she means to her. I’m getting teary y’all. And on top of that, Wolf starts to sing “Heroes on Fire” to Kipo and she’s then accompanied by Benson and Dave.

17. It does manage to get through to her somehow and we then see Kipo’s inner head-space, where she comes face to face with her own jaguar form but it starts to chase her. She then suddenly hears her friends singing and it reminds her of all the amazing moments they shared together in the past two seasons. And Wolf’s idea is a success because Kipo manages to transform back into human Kipo. OMG I’m crying so bad right now. What about Song though? *sniffs. Well, Kipo reassures her mom that if she can turn back, so will she. 

18. We’re approaching the end! Yumyan happily agrees to let EVERYONE stay with the Timbercats back at his village and we also see Scarlemagne being taken away by them. Is he going to be imprisoned at the village? He seems like he was impressed by Kipo’s brave act to sacrifice herself for the mutes. I really hope he joins their side in season 3 (if there is one). 

19. Troy reunites with his dad but Roberto tells everyone what went down with Dr. Emilia just now and I was right! She has the journal and she plans to use it to reverse all the mutations in the mutes. The season ends with Kipo announcing that she and everyone else are going to stop her.

20. Well, that’s the end of my episode to episode review of Season 2 of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. I must say; this season trumps the first season in my opinion. I absolutely love all the backstory we had gotten, especially regarding Kipo, Lio, Song and Scarlemagne. I also plan to make a couple of video essays about this particular season that will be posted to my YouTube channel (peterstanslizzie). So please check that out for when I have them ready for you to watch. Thank you all so much for reading my reviews. I absolutely can’t wait for a Season 3 to be announced. *Fingers crossed. I’m pretty confident it will get greenlit. Till next time; Bye!
