My New Attempted Schedule (As It Pertains To All Of You)

All “schedules” are set to how frequently I’d like to accomplish a task, and not a day or time that that task will be accomplished. See here for more personal blathering. I hope for this to be a bare minimum, and to hopefully be able to do MORE sometimes, but to at least do this much. 

LIVEBLOGGING

Once a week.

I hope to do at least one liveblogging session a week. Ideally that would be a complete half-hour episode of something (probably HxH, but maybe also Haikyuu!!, which someone has requested), but if a session has to end early because I don’t have stamina then that’s what happens. Sorry to those waiting *checks watch* SIX DAMN MONTHS for me to get my shit together. 

STREAMING VIDEO GAMES

Once a week. 

This one is less strenuous than liveblogging, so it’s maybe sliiiiiggghtly more likely to get a bonus. This is the kind of thing that would be GREAT to have a set day and time, but I know I can’t do that right now. If you want to follow me on twitch, my handle there is taleasoldastimemachine. Right now I’m playing a lot of The Sims 4. Specifically a legacy challenge based on Sailor Moon. I imagine I’ll be playing a LOT of Animal Crossing when the new one comes out. 

MOVIE NIGHT

Once a month.

This is a patreon reward I promised 900 years ago and never fulfilled. This I want to defer to my patrons on. There are so few of us - it’s supposed to be an exclusive to a higher paying tier, but I feel like opening it up could make it more of a party? Regardless, I do want to try to do this. This might be a while before I’ve nailed exact details down, so if anyone has suggestions or thoughts, I welcome them. 

RECORDING PRETTY CURE PODCAST

Once a week, as usual.

For those who listened to the episodes available of Pretty Sure It’s Pretty Cure, what if I told you we never really stopped recording? We’ve had some unplanned recording breaks, but we’ve also had some good long runs of recording just as regularly as when we started. My co-hosts (hi @drasnianfrank and @theneptuneviolin!) have been really good at working with my BS, and so...um... I know we left off our releases at like.... not even the halfway mark of the first season? But we’ve finished watching Max Heart. >.> those episodes are just waiting in the vault for me to edit. 

Sorry to those waiting *checks watch* A ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR for another episode. 

(It is now a constant source of anxiety to me that I will get to those files and they will be broken in a way I have no way to fix now BUTTTTTTTT that probably shouldn’t happen and it’ll be fine hopefully probably oh god it’ll be fine.)

ACTUALLY EDITING THE GODDAMN PODCAST 

Weekly, but we’ll still be behind.

I’m not going to commit to editing an entire episode a week. I’ll shoot for it! But I’m not going to commit to it. Instead I’m setting myself up for One Simple Editing Session a week. Like a minimum of 70 minutes total time spend editing, split into one or two sessions. If I feel like I can do more I will! But if I don’t I won’t push it. This means new episodes SHOULD start to trickle out (and if they do, I think we’ll go for Mondays as usual). But they won’t be every week, as editing 3 hours of audio (which... we record sometimes) down can take five or more hours just by itself.

they’re literally children why are all the adults in this show like this

[timemachineliveblogs]

watching Hunter x Hunter is like reading Victor Hugo or Tolkien like oh? you thought this was going to be a narrative story with a plot? But have you considered the architectural history of Notre Dame? Do you ever think about what this minor character’s great uncle was up to and how he got seventeen different Elvish names? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF FRENCH SEWER SYSTEMS?

Do you wanna see how these Good Boys grow up big and strong and fight the bad guys? FIRST. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THIS FLUTE MAN’S SOCIOECONOMIC UPBRINGING?

[timemachineliveblogs]

THIS IS A GOOD CHILD AND I LOVE HIM

[timemachineliveblogs]

THIS IS THE BIGGEST PLOT TWIST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS SHOW

[timemachineliveblogs]

that’s fucking hilarious

okay you know how Goku, like I’ve seen like barely any DBZ but it used to be on right after Sailor Moon on Toonami, and there was like this whole long arc that I remember watching because I caught one episode and Goku was building up his Kamehameha or whatever and it was like “the world’s gonna end in five minutes” and I was like “oh shit, next ep is gonna be good, better watch” but then the next day all he did was stand there powering up and then at the end of the ep it was like “The world is gonna end in 4 minutes 50 seconds!“ or something like that and I was like WHAT and then I watched every single day not out of excitement but out of a weird morbid curiosity about, like, how MANY episodes can they have the protagonist just STANDING THERE in a row and I don’t remember the exact number but I do know it lasted into a second week and anyway, that exact arc, you change nothing, except instead of fucking standing there, Goku is just winding up his arm like a cartoon pitcher the whole fucking time lololol

[timemachineliveblogs]

I literally never know what’s about to be on screen next in this show

[timemachineliveblogs]

Togashi: hey, so we have an entire season based on the body horror of being eaten by a giant insect and then unwittingly reincarnated as a giant monster insect yourself and the resulting psychological trauma, explorations of sentience and self, and what is truly monstrous

Togashi: you know what that needs?

Togashi: MORE BODY HORROR

Togashi: UNDEAD BODY HORROR

[timemachineliveblogs]

Exposure therapy can be among the most traumatic ways to work through a phobia or trigger. It can backfire spectacularly. It should only be undertaken with intense motivation, and carefully and slowly.

All that being said, when it works, it can also be one of the fastest ways to break through.

Killua is doing so much here, and under the worst possible pressure.

[timemachineliveblogs]

This is also what I think when a fist is approaching my face.

[timemachineliveblogs]

Also was there somehow Not Enough Happening, Togashi?!? Was the several political plots and splits not enough for you??? The possessed dictator? Kite? The boys vs neferpitou? A bunch of incel terrorist ants rampaging? Not enough?!? NOW ALSO

ANOTHER ANT KINGDOM

AND HUMAN TRANSMOGRIFICATION.

TOGASHI.

TOGASHI.

WAS THERE NOT YET ENOUGH BODY HORROR TOGASHI? NOT YET ENOUGH EXPLORATION OF SENTIENCE AND SELF AND WHAT IS A MONSTER? YOU GOTTA DO THIS?

YOU GOTTA GO AND DO THIS?

[timemachineliveblogs]

At this point I need to make an all-purpose “Time To Kinkshame Togashi” reaction image

[timemachineliveblogs]

One time on, I don’t remember which show? Some adult comedy cartoon on cartoon network. I wanna say it was Space Ghost but it might’ve been Rocko?

Anyway, one time they showed a jar of mayo on TV for like a full twelve minutes. And they said they were gonna do it. And they did it. And I watched the whole time waiting for SOMETHING to happen. And the longer nothing happened, nothing absolutely at all, the harder I laughed. Until my mom came into the room to find me absolutely dying of laughter and all that was on the TV was a picture of mayo.

Anyway that one DBZ arc was like that except the people doing it didn’t realize they were being, to my mind, hilarious.

[timemachineliveblogs]

oh, no wait, I remember you! You were here before. Did you have that hat before?!? I have to say, it’s quite the statement piece.

[timemachineliveblogs]

I say the fuck word so often. Do your parents see you reading this blog. Fuck, I hope not.
