My Roswell Rewatch liveblog

Episode 2x01 AKA Yikes And Also Ew

starting with this flashback was honestly so fucking evil

my poor echo heart with this physical parallel FUCK

oh so he took a few weeks off work right so this makes his disapperance less weird ok

this is HEARTBREAKING FUCK

watching liz have to step immediately into the big sister role i’m 

i wonder what lawyer is helping arturo with his citizenship stuff now that noah is dead?

this is a really pretty church tbh im a fan

OUCH MY HEART but lowkey it’s really funny how michael shoves into that pew ngl

god lily just killed this

so good. love the symbolism of her removing her hat there AND STOP CUTTING TO MICHAEL AND LIZ IM ALREADY SAD

god that flashback hurt so much

i wonder who is texting her from maxs phone, is that only isobel?

poor kyle

POOR MARIA

babe if only you knew how much he was grieving (you’ll figure it out tho)

uh oh watch out michelle

i know this was staged but like also double meaning feels

OUCH

god every time we get these people in natural lighting i die a little more fuck

i do like that we only hear noah say lines he’s already said

SIDEEFFECTS IS AN UNDERSTATMENT

sibling feelings fuck

ahahaha isobel but also ow

so who exactly knows that max is dead at the start of the season? only liz rosa isobel and michael?

lotta foreshadowing here with mimi given maria’s future

also love the lowkey sibling vibes here between kyle and rosa

and the specification of “physical” when it comes to rosa’s drug use; she’s still an addict

oh my god my heart

alex why were you just sitting there with caulfield files in a loose bag on your front porch?

my hEART

so the aliens DO mark each other yes

this scene with isobel and michael is so powerful shit

“Don’t touch me” OOF

“training” i wonder what that entails

also idk why but lowkey the glass on michaels hat make me laugh

SIBLINGSSSSSS

i like the reference to the fact that max AND michael were involved in finding an antidote

MORE SIBLING ENERGY AND OUCH OUCH OUCH MY HEART

god jeanine was so good here

also again with the repeating lines, it adds a helluva creep factor and i’m here for it tbh

aw shit here we go

ok so clearly someone talked to liz about what went down in the cave but the problem is isobel was unconscious and michael wasn’t there so.....who did?

I LOVE THIS SCENE WITH KYLE AND ALEX SO MUCH OMG

also lowkey is that body racist hank?

gah i just love the looks between alex and kyle

“CAN’T EXACTLY STORM THE PLACE” LMAO

i love rosa for this so much

poor maria

POOR KYLE

also big yikes about michael being here for this

pilot callback love it

i do really like this conversation with liz and rosa

and this moment of unspoken “ok, lets go to work”

ok while i do like the whole “shriveled and weak like he was” i would like to point out its like that because he was killed by lightning

this song is perfect for this, as always

oh my heart hurts for maria

don’t you need gel for an ultrasound?

I LOVE THIS SCENE IT GOT ME SO HYPED YES ZOMBIE MAX HERE WE GOOOOO

[kariachi]

Okay guys, I’m getting a liveblog done today if it kills me. This one is gonna take a bit longer to do, because I hurt my hand so typing is bleh, but we carry on!

Xingo Nation, because my son is the most important thing in this franchise.

Have I mentioned lately that I love the use of music in this show? Because I do. Also, yay Kelly Turnbull! This promises to at least be fun visually then.

“Now we’re not saying it was aliens-” says nerd-on-tv in front of several pictures of America’s Next Top Space Squid.

Oh look, a Mike production. I miss him, he should’ve gotten more and better, wasted potential as a villain and character.

Ben, not impressed by this tv lineup.

Oh lords, he’s not even feeling Xingo? Gwen check his temperature I think the boy may be ill.

Lucky Girl and Xingo run in the same timeslot. No wonder Ben and Gwen are so primed to argue.

And lo, the fighting begins. Watch the feelings show, Ben, it’s good for you. A magical girl a day keeps the toxic masculinity at bay.

Ben’s response to not being able to steal the remote back from Gwen is to go Stinkfly and odor her into submission.

Ooo, Lucky Girl goes for female villains and what looks to be an all female main cast. It is Sailor Moon for Gwens. Takes the color coding to a whole new level though.

Queen Griefenstein, lords preserve me

Lucky Girl: *talks about ‘an insecure heart corrupts the soul’* Kevin: *ruins a display in the process of stealing a remote* ~I love this sort’ve storytelling~

Bystander: It’s so nice to see a little boy in touch with his emotions like that Kevin: *insecure preteen panic*

“Uh, what? I don’t have emotions!” My son

Pausing because I can’t feel my hands, be back when they aren’t numb

If nothing else can we stop and acknowledge the emo poet panicking at the concept that 1) he may have emotions, and 2) he may be in touch with them

Kevin Levin, going from ‘bad mood’ to ‘insecure panic’ to ‘okay, Xingo, this is properly non-feelingsy’ over the span of 20 seconds

“haha Violence.“ My son

There is a character on the Xingo show complaining about said show getting bad ratings. I’m not surprised, I’m just acknowledging the matter.

Kevin: *yet more preteen panic*

Kevin, honey, take a step back, check the internet, confirm before you panic.

...okay, I don’t agree with calling Lucky Girl garbage, but 18 seasons is excessive. Honestly by that point it probably is garbage, nothing can survive that long without devolving into chaff. Quick, somebody get this child the 1st season, stat!

Plus a Japan-only radio drama, a comic to-in, and a spin-off series. Damn. Also Kevin, dearheart, you know a suspicious amount about Lucky Girl and it’s various works for someone who supposedly thinks it’s garbage.

My son, my dear, sweet, insecure, ‘I have no emotions and totally have nothing to do with anything that may acknowledge emotions exist’ son

11-year-olds

Check the fucking internet before you go alien over this, child

My son is a moron. Brilliant, but a moron.

Xingo: *potentially cancelled cartoon panic*

Oh look, the Xingo x Lucky Girl Crossover everyone’s been waiting for

I think I’m gonna have to try muting this and going off subtitles, just to actually get through it sometime before the turn of the next decade.

(Also, can I just say how I love that this decade’s first liveblog includes Kevin yelling ‘I don’t have emotions’. Feels like it’s setting a good baseline for the next ten years of Kevin content (which you will be getting, don’t doubt it))

Queen Griefenstein: *has too high of standards to work with Xingo*

Xingo pies Lucky Girl. To see Kevin’s reaction you would think this was the funniest thing to happen ever.

*snort* Okay, that second pieing was funny.

Ben has successfully gassed Gwen out of the Rustbucket.

Welp.

Max: *explaining the majesty of free hotdogs*

..........double welp. Maybe Xingo needs cancelling.

Max: Maybe they’re doing a crossover Gwen: The audacity to even think-

Kevin: *laughs in the distance* Ben: The audacity-

Honestly the best part here is Kevin has no reason to think setting Xingo loose could go badly. He’s had nothing to do with and heard nothing of the shit Xingo keeps pulling. In his inexperienced 11-yo mind this makes perfect sense.

Ben: *fiercely demands to know if Kevin is the one who set Xingo loose* Kevin: Uh, nope Xingo: Buddy!

Kevin wasn’t even looking for trouble today, he just found it. My headcanon that he is a walking disaster area continues to be supported.

He is not comfortable with Xingo reaching out of the tv to pat him on the head.

“-while I go put marinara in Lucky Girl’s wig“ welp

Mike’s character did not deserve a Xingo smooch, and his character’s love interest did not deserve to have a Xingo smooch their guy. Just because Mike is 100% Immortal Little Shit does not mean they aren’t good people

Oh gods that UAF expy is as painful as the show

Note to self: Do not let Xingo on the news

Operation Change The Fucking Channel is a go

Scratch that, Operation Shut off the Goddamn TVs is a go

I gotta say, at this point at least we really need an Argit. Give Kev a steady friend with limits on the trouble they’ll get him into.

Welp. Better go find another remote Gwen

Ah, yes, the channel change buttons on the tv proper, so handy

“-where two obnoxious boys who can turn into alien monsters have engaged in combat“ That’s it, that’s the show

Also, oo, Max got ice cream. Honestly until told otherwise I’m going to assume the entire reason Kevin is here is for the free food.

Gwen saves the day, holy fuck that was close. We do not need a Xingo the size of a planet

‘Kev-a-lev-a-ding-dong’ good lords

‘Second rate’ goddamn will somebody give this child a fucking break! I swear he’s been appreciated once and a combo of Ben and his own issues screwed it up!

My baby...

Ben, while Xingo is tearing Kevin down to nothing: ....... Ben, when Kevin’s temper starts going: *shocked*

And lo but the boys were on the same page again, because Xingo couldn’t keep his big mouth shut.

I love these children

The boys working together and Kevin hitting Xingo so hard he flew through several shows and right back into Lucky Girl.

‘Constructive criticism‘ somebody hit him again

Hello Lucky Girl, thank you Lucky Girl

And lo, Xingo was no longer an immediate issue

Kevin: *causes problem* Team Tennyson: *celebrate solving problem* Kevin: Bitch, without me-

Huh, it’s a Wednesday. Now I’m even more annoyed I wasn’t feeling up to doing this liveblog yesterday

Lucky Girl: *talks about ‘rattling the rifts between enemies’ and emotional honesty* Ben & Kev: *’not emotions no’ cringe*

Ben is all for the ‘if you can’t talk out your problems, punch a bitch’ moral of the day and now is willing to give Lucky Girl a shot

Meanwhile Kevin is at first confused- or possibly concerned- by the moral, then Ben’s response to it, and then goes right back to ‘I totally don’t enjoy this show, I would never, I Am The Night’

Then slips into the next aisle back and moves a box so he can watch the episode in secret

These children are so cute

10/11, not perfect but close enough

Roswell New Mexico ep 1.09 liveblog Songs About Texas

Listen I don’t care that I’ve never done a liveblog about this show before. I love it. I watched the original. I like this one better. Do not watch if you don’t want my buzzed cursing and spoilers and flailing. Because I curse and flail and spoil. it was an accidental liveblog because I was messaging a friend of mine who watches but was not caught up. So I didn’t want to spoil her until she said it was fine and then it became no holds barred. Do I edit it or let you see my terrible typing while I watch a show and drink a beer in the afternoon? 

Ahh. Get it unfiltered.

Zi-O 14: Raw viewing

Hm. Hmmm. HMMM.

omoshiroi.

Here’s the liveblog for Zi-O 14, pre-subs.

These are apparently taking me several hours to watch now, since I’m taking notes live, and with checking the wiki to get names right and backing up frequently to check images and figure out what I can actually hear. Whoops.

(WOW that phrase comes in handy.)

Woz, where’d you go – oh, so the clock’s not just some sort of Aesthetic Background. It’s actually there.

Okay, I can’t tell if he’s pissed because Sougo’s kinda dead, or because he’s not the reason Sougo’s kinda dead, but Geiz is pissed.

Aw. I think he might actually care.

“Can’t you just tell them that I’m right here?”

“They wouldn’t believe me.”

Urgh, I can’t actually get what they’re saying. I THINK it’s along the lines of:

Takeru: “So, I’m the only one who can see you, and it ‘might’ be because of this.” He pulls out the Ghost watch.

Sougo: “Ohhhh. So Geiz is headed to see the past you.”

Takeru: “Wait, what? The past?!” (oh god no not time travel again!)

(Re: the opening)

HEY WAIT.

Apparently, episode 11 was the last time that the final shot of the Opening had that uncomfortable ‘burning page reversing itself while grainy footage of Zi-o on his bike’ sequence. Episode 12 turned it to being a straight shot of Zi-o Riding his bike straight at the camera between two jets of flame. I only noticed watching 14, just now, but huh. I thought the only changes that had happened so far were the shots of the Time Jackers updating.

I’ll have to check on that later.

Ohh… Another Ghost immediately went after the crane operator… that’s really heartbreaking.

(Geiz, bud, what’s with the terrible green-screen? Your transformation’s usually better done than that.)

Hora: Come on, we need to kick Geiz’s butt in the past.

Tsukasa: Pft. Plebe. I can travel on my own, thanks. (proceeds to open a dimensional portal of his own)

Thank you for not summoning the hoodies this time, Geiz.

Enter Ryuki!Decade… who promptly changes to Ghost!Decade… oh, this could be good. (I paused mid transformation to write, mind you.)

The rules of time travel say that only one version of a rider’s powers can exist at a time. Somehow, the Another Riders count as this, but the Ride Watches don’t, which bugs me. But now… We have Another Ghost present, Geiz is using the Ghost Watch, and Decade is about to use the Ghost Card.

How will this play out… (spoiler alert to 2:00 am samantha from 3:30 am samantha: it made absolutely no difference. drat.)

SURE, you’ll let TSUKASA be spooky, but what about Takeru, huh? HUH?!?

Okay, so Geiz just summoned Musashi and Edison. Another Ghost has Robin Hood and Newton. Tsukasa got Billy the Kid and… um. I think that’s Beethoven? Yup. Beethoven.

OUCH. Geiz’s losing streak continues, with a distressing looking slash from the Gan Gun Saber, followed by a pair of Rider Kicks from Ghost!Decade and Another Ghost.

That red-and-black aesthetic of Another Ghost’s Emblem behind his kick though… Mm. Yes. This is still such a good Another Rider look. … and actually, this is the first time since Another Build and Another Ex-aid that we’ve seen this much of an Another Rider using their bases powers, isn’t it? Build was making bottles and using them, and Ex-aid was summoning bugster mooks. Okay, that’s admittedly actually a Bugster thing, but he was also generating game areas, so it still counts.

Hm. No sequence breaking for us, it would seem. Decade just wiped the Ghost Watch, turning it blank… and tossed Geiz the Decade Watch before taking off.

Interesting.

Or we could have some compeletely different sequence breaking, seeing as how Takeru had to pilot the time mazine for Sougo. Yanno, due to incorporeality. THEY landed just before Mika’s brother dies, as opposed to Geiz landing just after.

I hate to say this, but Nani The F*ck? So clearly, inherently magical Takeru can also force shove objects, because he just deflected the beams before they could hit either Mika or her brother. So now he can’t become Another Ghost, which sends Sougo back to his body… in 2018. While 21-year-old!Takeru is now in 2015. Where spooky!18-year-old!Takeru is supposed to also be.

Oh deary. So Heure pulls out the blank watch he was going to use to make Another Ghost, and summons a bunch of Ganma mooks with it. Fine, good, he’s ticked, makes sense. They attack 21!Takeru. Fine, fine.

Makoto shows up, asking why Takeru isn’t transforming.

He’s asking 21!Takeru – who, being from an altered timeline, does not remember being Ghost (allegedly).

“Oh, right, I’m a Kamen Rider. Makoto, let’s go!”

Mind you, Makoto is played by the same actor as always, and clearly neither of these men have aged a much more than a day since 2015, since they still look pretty much identical. This is for the best, because otherwise we’d have to wonder why Makoto doesn’t catch that suddenly Takeru (who should not be aging in 2015) looks bit older than he ought to.

((Takeru: Oh, man, I’m out of practice, last time I did this was December, one year ago for me, two years from now… I might be stuck here… ~oh well~ ~not like I haven’t gone off script like thirty different ways before~))

I don’t know what just happened in the hospital (2018) but I do not like it. That was very uncomfortable to watch. I can get that the whole Sougo-going-back-to-his-body thing just was undone, since Another Ghost exists again, but. What was Woz explaining? And he didn’t move when he said ‘waga maou.’ That was… that wasn’t a thought sound effect for that, the ‘stylization’ for thoughts and narrative are about the same, and they aren’t as faint as that. That felt like… idk, a telepathy thing?

~It’s not Ghost without sister issues~

Takeru: (oh no oh no I think we pulled it off? Maybe? Oh no Makoto’s looking at you say something)

Takeru: Uh, okay, uh, hey, Makoto, give the other Takeru my regards.

Makoto: ???

(exit: stage future)

Geiz is worried. That is a worried Geiz. And a stressed Sougo. And an uncle who is definitely faking his usual, already awkward laughter.

Sougo’s uncle has too many dishes ready to not have known there were extra people coming.

(Hee, Narita’s got Akari’s Shiranui cannon! And they mentioned her by name! Eee!)

TEAM WORK. THIS IS THE BEST THEMATIC TEAMWORK YESSSSS.

Sougo using the Ex-Aid watch with his mech is cool enough – it gets the same hammers that he does.

And then Geiz comes in with Genm. AND THE PURPLE WARP PIPES YESSSSS!

Is that. That’s the Cross-z watch.

MECHA BUILD AND CROSS-Z UGH YES.

Bottle boyfriend mecha RIDER KICK!

Hm. More mook summoning, by Another Ghost this time, ala Ex-Aid and OOO.

Pft-ahahaha.

I love Tsukasa’s reaction to Woz’s speech.

Tsukasa: What. What are you doing.

And Woz just growls.

NEAT. I knew that the Decade Armor let Zi-o get the Mid-forms of the Legend Riders, but I didn’t think of how that screen variant of the helmet could come into play with it. It shows the Zi-o-with-Decade color scheme before he changes, and when he puts in the Build watch… it’s shuffling, kind of like a character select screen – or cards being dealt. You can see Ex-Aid most clearly going by, but I can tell there were others.

Welcome back, RabbitTank Sparkling!

And Tsukasa just tells Woz to shut up and grabs his book. Was he always like this? Because I’m liking the snark.

I don’t know what this sword is called but I really really like it. Not only are the Ex-aid sound effects back in English, but it let him summon Max Flare, Funky Spike, and Midnight Shadow’s tires! (fangirl squeal)

Welcome back, Grateful!

“Why did I give him my watch? Eh. Thought it’d be interesting.”

(I think that’s about what he was saying? Ish? Approximately?)

Hang on, that screen? The mask for Decade is a Zi-o variant, but RabbitTank Sparkling and Grateful are their usual appearances.

And now Geiz has someone he wants to punch even more than he does Sougo or Woz.

So, overall...

Interesting indeed, Tsukasa. Interesting indeed.

[theythemsam]

spn 1x14 (cause i completey skipped 1x13, cause its a bad fucking episode y’all), liveblog, collected posts (all 12 of them) or as i like to call it: I Am In Hell, Why Does This Show Hate Abuse Surviviors So Much, also i triggered myself so uh that’s always nice, tw for discussions of child abuse and suicide, bc that’s what happens in this piece of shit episode and once again Sam Winchester is the only good thing about this episode & I am so angry. Also Max did nothing wrong and deserves better:

Oh Fuck Yeah, more psychic!sam

#heck yeah i love it!!! #also my beautiful boy max who deserves so much better

also killing abusers. Now Thats A Sexy, Sexy Episode.

#just watching that bastard die is... very... very... satisfying

priest!boys. Nice.

#also sam all styled and stuff #with his hair slicked back it looks great

“so what was your dad like?”

Max, visibly going from bitter laugh to fake sad: “you know, just a normal dad”

#god that poor boy #he deserves so much better #supernatural and abuse victims #its not a good mix 95% of the time #but i think with him they at least did a kinda okay job? #not good bc lmao should have let him survive and go to therapy please!!! #but at least hes portrayed as sympathetic but flawed #something which many other abuse surviviors (bela. the kids in family remains etc) dont get and i hate it

Planting some heads in flower crates. Maybe some nice buds can sprout from that assholes brain.

#i feel literally 0% empathy #i cheer when the father & uncle die #like hmmm yes more pls

ughhh i hate that episode so much, it makes me so angry

#like not only did the stepmom do nothing and honestly? she deserves to die for that #but the police never helped even when they were called a shitton of times by neighbors #the system very rarely protects abuse surviviors #anyway what im saying is: max did nothing wrong

like I get it, there’s a lot of cases where the woman can’t stand up for a child, cause they are also abused or they don’t see a way out, and in real life I would definitely treat that a bit differently, but the fact that she stayed, that she’d didn’t stop it, that she didn’t take the child and run away, makes her complicit and nearly just as a bad as the actual abusers and that’s the tea and also why she deserves to die

#i have 0 tolerance for that #like... if you notice something like that and youre not willing to fight like hell to protect the victims... youre not a person i'll like #and she deserves whats coming for her #FUCK i forgot how angry that episode makes me

also the fact that she stood by and watched… like it wasn’t like she wasn’t in the room or didn’t notice it, she just… didn’t care.

#kill her max youre doing amazing sweetie #fuck me i hate abusers so much

Dean: “it doesn’t justify murdering your entire family”

me: 

#it does #anyway hot take of the day: all abusers deserve to die #its ptsd Oh Hour for me over here folks lmao #and dean then just going: we gotta kill him #like... dean you lay a finger on my boy and im gonna tear you apart limb by limb

that fact that sam knows so well how to calm abuse surviviors down (giving them the choice of what’s going to happen, being calm and non-threatening) etc is definitely also one of my fav things about him

#like hes just so gentle and good #and fuuuuck im still angry #cause max deserves so much better

god, Max makes so much sense to me and honestly? i support him wholeheartedly

#'it wasn't about getting away. it was about not being afraid' #like sure... you know.... getting away is healthier in the long run but #knowing your abuser is still out there? maybe hurting others? maybe planning to at some point come after you? its fucking terrifying #theres a kind of relief you can only get knowing that they are gone for good #Max Deserves Better

also like… you know… of course killing your abusers is not going to not make you scared anymore, but… especially if somebodies been forced into that situation for such a long time, never knowing when the next beating was coming, never knowing how long you’d be safe and never able to feel safe? fuck, i get why he thinks it’s the only way, no matter how illogical it seems from the outside.

#i only care about max now #this is now the max blog #like not only does that child have cptsd for sure #i dont think he ever knew what safety felt like #not being safe in your own home must be the worst #cause you have no where to turn #especially as a child #and the fact that there were so many people who could have helped but /didnt/ or where nothing came from it #hell im bitter and its just a story to me

i’m still angry that she got to survive and max killed himself because honestly? she deserved worse and he deserved better.

(also her going: “I lost everyone.” does not make a single bit more sympathetic to me)

#hell im always on the side of abuse victims and surviviors and she was part of the abuse #i think im gonna take a break cause i think i actually triggered myself so uhhhh.... yeah....

all right time for Scorpion King: Book of Souls Liveblog Part 2

we last left bootleg xena and zach mcgowan’s abs in ancient egyptian jello narnia with a mostly naked lady who is also a book and her wildly unnecessary comic relief rock golem friend and there might even have been hints of a plot. I have a feeling it’s only downhill from here.

we’re back to the people who gallop around menacingly on horses and their completely normal bird that keeps getting screentime for some reason. their specific objectives remain unclear, as they have been for the entire movie.

oh hey they found the mad max tribe, maybe there actually was a point to the interlude earlier

shut up mediocre henchman 5 I still hate you

hm, nope, still no point to this. they just rode away again. menacingly.

please someone make the cockney rock golem stop talking

she has been trying to seduce matthias since she first came on screen and despite the fact that they’ve known each other for five minutes I have a sinking feeling that it’s going to work before this movie is over

ookay the rock golem is afraid of fire, that makes sense.

WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS BIRD IT’S A NORMAL GODDAMN BIRD IT HASN’T DONE ANYTHING

oh thank god they’re leaving the rock golem behind in jello narnia

living the dream, book lady

yep here we go with the romantic subplot nobody asked for between two people who met like three hours ago at most

is he the only man she’s ever seen because like. talk about setting the bar high

here come the menacing riders, riding menacingly

NOBODY LIKES YOU, MEDIOCRE HENCHMAN 5

oh yes I think xena’s finally gonna kill this fucker

and now we can just watch zach mcgowan kill people which is really what 90% of the movie’s content should have been in the first place

HE KILLED MEDIOCRE HENCHMAN 5 WE ARE FREE.

oh fuck the rock golem is back and they’re bringing him to a market

this movie’s plot is so vague as to be on the verge of doing a full 180 into “dadaist masterpiece”

now I’m not saying I expected better from the direct to DVD fifth sequel of a spinoff of a reboot of The Mummy but it needs to be said just once: why is the scorpion king a white guy

okay there we go back to killing people don’t worry about things like plot and why they all have vaguely british accents

ah he has learned from the last time he beat up a bunch of ninjas, no getting shot this time

[Black Sails theme playing on a single kazoo in the distance]

at least the boat’s too small for them to get any time alone together and progress the unneeded romance

oh hey it’s glowy eye dude who we haven’t seen since the prologue despite his being the main antagonist. I like that dude. mostly for his rad aesthetic.

ooooh glowy eye dude killed bootleg xena’s brother who we’ve literally never seen or heard of before book lady explained it

and apparently she’s the last remaining heir so we’ve got the queen of nubia, the king of... scorpions, I guess, a human book, and a golem all on a boat. I feel like I’ve literally been in this D&D party.

there’s that bird again seriously why, there had better be payoff for this. maybe the bird is secretly anubis or something. which would be weird, since anubis is the one with the jackal head, but I can’t think of another reason to keep drawing this much attention to it.

there had also better be a damn good payoff to the golem being afraid of fire because it’s getting really annoying

OH MY GOD A GIANT ROCK

they very clearly didn’t give zach mcgowan any direction regarding what accent he’s supposed to have because he’s just trying them all out

imagine if he’d just smashed the head clean off that stone sphynx and it turned out there was nothing in there

book lady has taken over for prologue narrator I guess

what is with this anubis, this is like a deviantart anubis. this is just “abs for days: the movie”

okay evil xena, “men are simple” isn’t really a fair thing to say considering you shot him with a poison dart. falling over after someone shoots you with a poison dart isn’t really a gendered thing. and like she didn’t try to seduce him first or anything she just walked in, shot him, and said that as if it was somehow relevant.

oh it’s the mad max tribe yet again. maybe THIS time they’ll have a purpose.

nope they’re just here to comment as the plot coincidentally passes them on the way to somewhere else. okay.

okay so maybe the blacksmithing and hunting and badass fighting and full on nudity haven’t been enough to distract you from how bad the writing is. don’t worry fam we’ve got you.

it’s like they’ve got a checklist or something

at least the ugly and useless leather armor thing is gone though

okay know what as an aside, shoutout to this random ass bird that gets almost as much screentime as the actual protagonist yet has done nothing except completely normal bird things for the entire movie

“before I kill him let’s see how he fights” well you just signed your own death sentence. see even your wife who can see the fourth wall knows this is a mistake.

glow eye dude is entirely too good of an actor for the lines he was given, this is like watching jeremy irons in eragon

wow I mean you could just kill book lady, setting her on fire seems excessive.

uh I was joking before but he appparently actually is the literal king of scorpions. and getting stung by them is I guess what activates his powers. being the scorpion king SUCKS.

wow it didn’t half work though, he just samsoned right out of those chains. good thing it wasn’t a bamboo and string cage, or he would have been trapped for good.

hell yeah finally a showdown between glow eye dude and zach mcgowan. this is why I’m here.

wait, the mad max tribe is back. maybe THIS time they’ll do something relevant!

yeah there they go. finally. killed psychic wife

random bird approves.

and now it’s just everybody fighting everybody so in other words the movie is looking up

evil xena vs good xena FIGHT

I can’t believe the fucking golem was the one who finally destroyed the sword.

so now the mcguffan is just freaking gone and matthias and evil guy are just punching the shit out of each other for the hell of it and I’m not even mad

I mean I guess one of them still has to be defeated but still

he just fuckin Simba’d that guy right into the fire

like can we please take a moment to appreciate that this is the exact fight choreography and aesthetic from the lion king

to the point that there was a literal lion roar sound as the guy died??? I’m not even kidding what the hell

“and we helped!” - the mad max tribe

oh the sword wasn’t destroyed. but at least the rock golem is gone so that’s something.

“remember who you aaaaaare” - the mad max tribe

ooooh he must choose between destroying the evil sword and the life of book lady, his true love who he met yesterday

I mean don’t get me wrong I’m sad to see her go she was one of the least annoying characters, but still you could have cut out the mad max tribe and developed her more so this would have more impact

aaaand THERE’s the obligatory tragic kiss

honestly though know what I can’t begrudge her this, it’s not like I wouldn’t do the same thing if I were a human book living alone in a tomb and some absurdly attractive dude just showed up one day and was like “climb on my horse so we can gallop sexily across a beach.” that’s completely reasonable.

matthias... I don’t feel so good...

(I’m sorry I had to)

that looks like it should be the cover of a drug store romance novel. maybe after the cowboy fad dies the next one will be “white guys who are kings of ancient egypt for absolutely no discernable reason”

NARRATOR! I missed you my dude.

he never forgot his destiny again. still no mention of exactly what his destiny is or even what exactly he’s king of aside from about two dozen literal scorpions

but seriously “getting stung by scorpions” is the absolute worst superpower ever. no wonder he abandoned his destiny to be a blacksmith, I would too.

there he goes

well that was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be but somehow even more so. gratuitous fanservice and absolutely no substance or meaningful plot, 10/10 would not watch again but had a great time watching it once. roughly on par with Eragon but this time ancient egypt flavored.

that bird never ended up doing anything, by the way. 10/10 completely useless but extremely photogenic bird.

[orrtala]

Don't take this the wrong way but you watched Camp Camp and the mere thought you could have just livrblogged it makes me kinda sad.

Iwouldn’t have liveblogged Camp Camp anyway; this blog is meant for cartoonsthat are children-friendly. Well, mostly children-friendly. And CC isnot children-friendly at any point sans maybe the animation stylewhich I personally really love. Also with my weird eye phobia I don’tthink I’d be able to keep making screenshot through that long eyescream scene you know the one.

Butif you’re really interested under the cut I put my thoughts thattranspired during my watch - well as much as I remember them. Beware of spoilers, obviously.

Iwas internally screaming at Max’s parents since first episode and hislack of confirmation what was he going to do after escape just mademy suspicions grow. And I’m pretty sure 85% of the liveblog thatnever happened would be just being mad at them and few other parentsas well.

YesI’ve noticed Max’s camp wasn’t talked about although I did entertainthe idea that he might have had knitting camp given the dolls andDavid’s comments. But still it wasn’t presented to newcomers andhonestly how David did not know the truth through all this time?Unless Max talked him out of checking his papers but also he wasapparently here at least second year (both David and Max separatelymention a kid from previous summer holidays in later episode) soshouldn’t a freaking counselor know about his kid’s activities? Plothole for the sake of revelations, I guess.

WhileDavid was annoyed and worried about children escaping in the firstepisode he ultimately kept happy face on and told Max he was proudabout the knitting thing. First time we can see him slightly losingit was rather early though, because in second episode he got angryfor few seconds. No wonder, just lost a mascot and heard that the it was supposed to get rid of him instead. And yet hequickly got back into his happy persona, Mhmmmmmmm, the S1 finalerevelation in nutshell.

Thatwhole sequence with Quartermaster and squirrels made me laugh way toohard.

“That’swhy I’m here” okay Harrison, what exactly you made disappear? CueS2 finale. …Oh.

Ofcourse they would give Dante Basco a character with honor, even if,ah, twisted (honestly who would like to be a woodscout anyway.)

Tabiiis more artistically inclined than Sasha and Erin if her drawing andpillow are any indication.

Binarysale is a great joke why was it on the screen for half a second again?

I knew the point of David’s character, but. That S1 finale still hit pretty hard. Camp Camp can get pretty serious when it wants to.

Guyfrom electronic shop apparently is looking for Neil if newspaperarticle is any indication. But he was in jury two episodes earlierand saw the kid so how did he not find him yet?

Also missing wolf and missing child. Uh, child-werewolf and they wanted to cover all their bases? Overreading mode is on!

Forsomeone so untrustworthy of adults Max has shown a lot of trust inDavid by going into the sauna. Or, errr, at least put a lot of trustin his fears and love of Camp Campbell. But progress, I guess.

WhyDaniel didn’t blink through the whole episode I’m scared.

I’m so in love with the camp song-off you have no idea.

…Man that Quartermaster episode.

I honestly find it hilarious how David ran to Max for help. “Listen it’s the most messed up situation we ever had, help me ten year old boy!”

Also Quartermaster shack had a lot of background stuff that was neat and…And…

…I could really use bleach after Quartermaster episode.

Listen, David, I love you, and I know you weren’t looking at it this way, and violence in this show is rather prominent (kid fights grown-up woman, kids fight with drug cartel members,) but you just beat up black man. Not sure if there was supposed to be a commentary how easy it is for white people to get of it or not but still.

Ofcourse Max was particularly vicious towards Gwen in her episode; helost his trusted possession partly thanks to not her intervening.Granted blackmailing person with anxiety who hates her life was alittle too much but then again it’s Max and it’s Camp Camp we’re talking about.

ManI felt like punching pretty much everyone’s’ caretakers in there or atleast shaking them a little. Except Nerris’ and Ered’s parents andPreston’s grandma. And I guess I wouldn’t punch Buzz even if, youknow, he doesn’t beat women.

That hug at the end of Christmas Special really got me because Neil is smiling the whole time but Max is genuinely surprised and only lets himself smile fondly looking away at later point. My? Heart? CC apparently decided I don’t need it?

Also some thoughts about next season(s) and general stuff:

Maxnot being annoyed by David in S2 as much as he was in S1 was rathersubtle, but noticeable change. I’m guessing David’s attitude towardsMax will change as well, he’ll stop trying to make him happy byinsisting he should be and will go for more natural approach. Youcan’t fight pessimism with optimism, you fight it by being there forpeople. And with pizza, there’s always pizza.

Jasperis going to be major plot point. Ghost of the boy who knew David as akid stuck on the island and apparently no one knows where his bodyis? Let the child rest. The only thing I’m not sure about if theheroes will learn the truth, if David will even get to meet Jasper,or will they solve the problem by accident. Maybe a mix of bothbecause knowing this show it’s possible.

Ilove observing body language in this show, everyone has their thing;Max is guarded and spends most of the time with hands hidden inhoodie pocket, Gwen is usually tired and Done, David just moves with his whole body “Well theeeeeen kids” *hands on hips and sways around* 

I like how kids, while not a unit as it once was, wear yellow shirts, just with their personal additions. They are still campers and they are in this together.

Igot really used to Voltron treating its characters with respect (yesthey do treat them with respect fight me @vld fandom) but with Camp Camp Ikind of knew it’s a comedy show, I didn’t expect much. And I waspleasantly surprised with the care they have for show’s characterseven if it’s not perfect – but, again, it’s primarily a comedy witha lot of dark humor.

Woodscouts trio has a kid with an eyepatch, Flower Scouts trio has kid with an eyepatch - show, please, leave my main children alone.

Learninga theme song in its entirety is a new goal for me. Wish me luck.

Geostorm Liveblog

It’s been a hot minute ( many many hot minutes, actually) since I liveblogged here, and that’s because The Core fucked me up so bad that I still haven’t finished it. Yeah. That was a year ago (or longer, because I picked a theme that doesn’t timstamp my posts). I got as far as the geode and noped the fuck out, but to this day I am still pondering the velocity and force needed for a pigeon to break windows. Just saying.

Anyways, it’s Superbowl Sunday and I could care less and Redbox had a deal so I picked up Geostorm. I will tell you how much I know about this movie.

Gerard Butler is in it.

Gerard Butler controls the satellites that control the weather.

The satellites get fucked up.

They fuck shit up.

There are giant tsunamis.

I think there were like six tornadoes in NYC or something IDK I watched the trailer months ago.

I think he has a daughter because they always have daughters in disaster movies right?

Let’s get started.

This movie is rated PG-13 for destruction and violence.

Annnnnd we start with the child voiceover because Drama™. Climate change!

Actual quote: “They called it extreme weather. They didn’t know what extreme is.”

(I am not even 30 seconds in this is gonna be great.)

Okay I’m now like a minute in and I have two things to say.

1. These are excellent videos of natural disasters 2. I hope they got permission for the videos

So they’re essentially using explosives to control the weather. Yup. That’s totally gonna work. And they called it Dutch Boy. Yeah. Great.

Ohhhh Gerard is gonna be snarky to the senators. Nice. I like him.

The senator is clearly gonna be the bad guy in this movie. I can’t wait for him to die.

Also Gerard is not really aging very well. He still looks good just not as good as 2005 Gerard.

His brother is clearly a politician because he’s all “you fucked up and I gotta fire you” but at least he kinda cried about it too.

Anyways we’re headed to the desert where shit is about go down I can just feel it.

Who the fuck came up with this

Oh there’s a town completely frozen over OH his hand came off well shit

THE PRESIDENT ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF

Little brother has redeemed himself by caring more about the 300 people in the village that froze to death

fuck you, Mr President

Ed Harris knows what’s up. He says get Gerard up on that space station

meanwhile, in space, a foreign guy (of course, because America is full of racists) is stealing information, and does every single country have its own satellite? even Djibouti? that seems excessive to me.

Nevermind the guy is dead. I 100% thought he was doing normal shit until he stuck the… uh… datapen? whatever. until he stuck it into the binder all sneaky-like. Not entirely sure wtf just happened on the ISS but we’ve just cut to the country where Gerard’s daughter is brainy and fixing something all by herself.

Awww her name is Hannah I have a sister named Hannah

oh now the brothers are fighting

guilt trippingggg

Ohhhhh so there’s another guy on the ISS fucking shit up. I bet he made the airlock open to kill Makmoud. Why the fuck people gotta fuck shit up?

(The answer is that people are fucking awful)

no wait I lied this guy is on Earth, in China, where it is very hot

CAT THERE IS A CAT IT IS PURRING STOP EVERYTHING

Oh um the ground is so hot you can fry eggs on it WHY IS THE PIPE RED HOT OH LOOK AN EXPLOSION

FIRENADO ALERT

what the actual fuck is going on

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

okay I’mma try and wrap my head around this… it got so hot that the gas pipelines turned red hot, overheated, exploded everywhere, and toppled buildings

1. NOT PLAUSIBLE 2. Pipes run at least 3 feet underground which is not gonna get that fucking hot and I’m pretty sure the gas would expand and destroy the lines before they actually get red hot 3. Whether actual fire explosions (and not superheated gas) happen would be up to whether there are sparks or not

okay so it was indeed gas main explosions, thank you Hannah for explaining

still doesn’t excuse the TERRIBLE SCIENCE

Hannah is a smart cookie I like her

still using fucking space shuttles I see and he’s not even in a space suit what kind of space movie is this (okay he’s kind of in a space suit but really)

can u not with the dizzying space images? I’m still fucked up from Gravity

THE Jake Lawson

Also Gerard’s American accent is riddled with Scottish which is likely why he just said he was born in the UK (I like the Scots better than the American anyway roll those r’s baby)

Okay anyway apparently the satellites are getting fucked up by someone IN THE WHITE HOUSE how surprising is that (not at all)

SOMEBODY’S COME TO FUCK WITH CHENG

THE BROTHERS ARE FIGHTING AGAIN

THIS IS NOT THE DRAMA I SIGNED UP FOR

AHHH THERE IS THE DRAMA

I suspect Dassite(?) has something to do with this. But I am worried something’s gonna go wrong on this spacewalk.

SOMEBODY FUCKED WITH JAKE’S SUIT

DAMMIT I SAID NO MORE DIZZYING SPACE SHIT I’M STILL FUCKED UP FROM GRAVITY

FUCK CHENG NO

Really we need this brotherly–ohhhhh it’s a fucking coded message hell yeah Jake

FUCK NOT THE GIRLFRIEND

oh okay Dana is my fave

OMG the girlfriend’s name is Sarah helllll yeah

THAT WAS THE MOST STRESSFUL FIVE MINUTES I CAN REMEMBER

oh no Ute is gonna die isn’t she

wait she’s still going

okay they’re in the satellite that should be okay right

HERNANDEZ

yay happy ending

Okay so um.

Final thoughts: I got way too emotionally invested in the movie but at this moment (despite what some conspiracy theorists believe) we CANNOT control the weather satellites. We do not yet have this capability and I fully believe that we will not have it by 2019 or even 2025, especially if the US government and public opinion stay as they are right now. This movie was likely based on conspiracy theories surrounding HAARP, which I won’t get into, but it’s safe to say that we can’t control the fucking weather and we’re not going to for a long time.

So uh… nice concept, nice drama, the science fucking sucked. Definitely sci-fi rather than actually fucking plausible. The end.

Science 0/5 Plot 5/5 because fuck this movie Special effects 4/5 because some of the scenes in the space suits looked kinda fake but the rest was A+

Haru arc

[[MORE]]

Oh...? Are you hung up on Wakaba, too, Doctor?

Oh, Rumi. ...Who's Rumi?

IS IT KASUMI'S SISTER??? bc you know there's weird stuff going on there

Probably not but this is for wild guessing anyway

If we can believe Kasumi then her sister is younger than her

And that'd be pretty weird to talk about in a romantic context

The problem is if kasumi is to be believed

she's dead I know she's dead I don't think she knows she's dead but she's super dead

Or in a coma I guess but let's be real here

I don't trust Shibusawa in the slightest. He's definitely going to try to take that research. I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of those men in black suits, either. He's rich - he goes to the Wilton on a whim, with his "buddies" - he could definitely be one of Shido's men.

OMFNDJD THIS LES MIS KNOCK OFF FILLS ME WITH JOY

Hoo boy. Maruki... I don't think you'll be very pleased with our answer. I do think you have good intentions, now, but you will definitely be an antagonist here.

I'm still really impressed with Chihaya. She really thought that the protag would hate her once she told her story, that her fortune said he was supposed to hate her, and she "never thought [he] would overturn even that fate". And yet, she told him anyway.

A Yusuke & Ann showtime!! : D I wonder what it'll be like?

THATS SO INCREDIBLY ANIME I LOVE IT

Haru idolizing superheroines vs Ann idolizing lady villains fight

I cannot waittt to see what they do with cognitive Haru, if they decided to make her this time around

YUSUKE CAN DUPLICATE IN PALACES?!?!?

A Will Seed with lasers barring the way? Interesting.

FUTABA FINISHING TOUCH FUTABA FINISHING TOUCH!!!!

Huh, it's kinda goofier than I was expecting.

"When a person is continually faced with oppression, they come to welcome its presence." Yusuke : (

"Such psychological trickery is being used here. I... experienced it first-hand for many years." YUSUKE : C

It's kinda nice that those workers are being blocked by lasers instead of us being too intimidated by their number to just go after them. ...Am I remembering this correctly?

Oh, Noir... I'm glad I get the option to ask if she's okay.

The Yumizuki High uniform really does suit Yusuke.

I wonder if there's a way to talk to people about their outfits.

Does Futaba's thing happen in place of Joker's, now? That's kind of a shame

HEY DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE FUTABA SHOWTIMES?!?????

Airlock time.

Man I want to see robot/cyborg Haru so badly come on Okumura I know she's here

This stuff about being okay for 30 sec as long as you close your eyes and mouth sounds wrong but I don't know enough about the condition of the human body in space enough to dispute it so okay I fuess

Anyway this is run by clap your hands if you believe kinda magic so it doesn't really matter anyway (also, thank god for Futaba saying that it'd work)

It's interesting - space factories/stations aren't a typical heist target (nor are castles, tbh, but museums, banks, pyramids, casinos? Naturally) (space stations in general can be, in the right genre. But this is set up a bit unusually for that). Corporate offices of shady companies, however...

Spaceeeeee ahdskdjs this is SO COOL

what the fuck what the fuck was something else going through the airlock?!?!

Ugh, how aggravating. I had been able to get the Will Seed the entire time until I pulled the lever that allowed me to progress

What is this shadow???? I'm not sure I know it! "Pagan savior", huh?

No, guys, there's another airlock room. Stop saying 'the treasure is just beyond that door!' when there is a whole other area/floor to go through. Especially since you have a map

Futaba gets motion sickness...oh no I'm so sorry ;u;

I...actually remembered the first half of the solution to the transfer line. I got out of there in practically no time. Heck yeah!

"Thou hast to awakened to the ultimate secret of the Sun, granting thee infinite power..." Yoshida...! TAT

I always end up maxing him right around the end of Okumura's Palace. I feel so bad. His newfound popularity is gonna absolutely tank soon. ;-;

Man, who even gets elected after the populace starts caring again? I don't know how Japanese politics works, really, like at all, honestly, but probably he has a subordinate who can take his place. But like, his whole crew's gotta be corrupt, right? Especially someone who'd be his replacement. Though honestly, considering how paranoid he got by the end, he probably chose someone weak-willed in order to prevent

Oh wait hold on I just looked up how this works. Apparently, uh...

Huh. I'm not sure if the cabinet resigns if the prime minister does usually or if that's just if the house passes a vote of no confidence. But, the prime minister appoints the ministers, so if the prime minister changes then there could be an issue there, probably?

But anyway. Looks like the Diet would immediately try to vote for a different person once the prime minister seat is vacant.

Huh, I wonder who gets voted in, then. Well, we only know of 2 candidates other than Shido, and Yoshida doesn't have the funding or even (yet) the popularity to become prime minister, so Matsushida is really the only other choice unless they pick someone we haven't heard about.

Oh my GOD I hate the school. They're being such assholes to Kasumi. She got 3rd place!!! That's amazing!!! This isn't even a school specializing in gymnastics!!!!!! YOU SPECIALIZED IN VOLLEYBALL AND EVEN IF THAT WERENT THE CASE YOURE TERRIBLE

*ahem* Anyway.

You can tell that Maruki is quietly pissed and honestly? Valid. Super valid. Same, Maruki, same.

She's not gonna get that text, with how her phone is.

"we took in those sisters to improve Shujin's standing, but at this rate, we're only going to end up suffering for it." Oh??? Oh??????

"not only have we lost one of them, but the other ones not doing us any good. Talk about a waste of effort..." Hooooly shit you asshole

Wait, hold on, it's October already????!? November's just a month away!! I have less than 3 months for social linking! And I still haven't maxed knowledge or kindness! (Or guts, but whatever) I've only maxed 1 person! Although I'm close to maxing Ryuji & Ann & Yusuke. And some npcs

AHHHHH CUTSCENE CUTSCENE!!!!

So the keywords - lab, stadium, and ... Either Maruki or Kasumi for the person. OH MAN AND EITHER WAY IM ALREADY IN MY PHANTOM THIEF CLOTHES

ONE OF THEM DOESNT TRUST ME

It's probably Maruki, right? Bc of the lab... But also I thought the whole wish fulfillment thing was going to be his cogpsi project... With the help of Jose, maybe...

Speaking of Jose, Jose looks like a toy, especially with that hair and those ears. I wonder what material he's supposed to be? Based on the ears I'd say plastic, maybe, but the hair looks more ceramic to me.

Anyway, back to the relevant FUCKING PALACE WOOHOO

I haven't even sent a calling card for Okumura yet so we're not dealing with this anytime soon

Ooh, this music... <3

Oh man, I totally forgot I had Morgana in the maid costume. I gotta get him into something more serious

Why is dancewear not the p5dsn costume??

This is...really empty...

I am suddenly really scared at what the people are going to look like

There are pigeons here...

But wait, if this is Maruki's Palace, then this is bc of all his grief... He doesn't want anyone to hurt, ever again. The people will be their ideal selves, probably...

...I'd love to see a cognition of myself, tbh. That won't happen, but I'd love it.

This place is really beautiful... With the music it seems like a sad place...

Look at all these wires

That's probably the sister, right?

Unless that's the cognition of Yoshizawa when she was alive and her current self is her ideal self.

The shadow attacked the cognition???!?!

YUP this is definitely Maruki's Palace

Hmm. Interesting.

Oh, Cendrillon really is perfect for her, huh.

SHES DOING A MAGICAL GIRL TRANAFORMATION WHAY

WHAT

WHY????

IM NOT UPSET ITS JUST A LITTLE WHAT????

Does her outfit look like mine a little bit bc she's using me as a role model for her source of confidence - confidence that she is using/interpreting for her inner rebellious spirit?

Wait, lost my train of thought

Aww, I mistimed that. I was hoping to get a Kasumi finishing touch

MORGANA-SENPAI

It is definitely an unfair consequence

Oh, so that's why, narratively, her phone sucks. It's to prevent us from figuring out whose Palace it is.

Yeah, this time it's entirely on you, Morgana.

... it's because of gymnastics? And not because you disagree with us on an ideological level? ...okay. sure. Whatever.

Hoo boy. This is gonna suck when Okumura has his mental shutdown. I wonder how she'll react.

She is of the Faith arcana, whatever that means. Maybe she'll keep faith in me? I did max her half-confidant

It's cool, Kasumi. I really didn't do much. You may have a debt of gratitude or whatever but like you don't actually need to repay it. Just keep being my friend and maybe one day you'll quit keeping score

*sigh*

If only. Too bad you're probably dead.

SHOWTIME WITH HARU? SHOWTIME WITH HARU? PLEASE?

Oh, Mona-chan. I figured as much, but I was still hoping...

Anyway, Haru&Mona showtime still very good!

Man, I would kill to hear their explanations for what they're doing.

...this is incredibly violent, isn't it? I anticipate it with bated breath

Oh man, can you imagine a showtime with Kasumi? Maybe with Akechi, if Atlus isn't going to give me one

Which, fair enough, from a gameplay standpoint

Still. : (

"the Phantom Thief Basic Training"?

Oh, good, we're actually addressing cognitive people with Haru.

Oh, this is either gonna suck if they address the implications, or we're gonna see cognitive Haru. >: 3

Dream world, huh...

THE YUSUKE-HARU FRIENDSHIP IS SO UNDERSTATED AND UNDERRATED I WANT MORE CONTENT

THERE SHE IS!!! THERE SHW IS!!!!

Oh, man, I had a lot of feelings during that fight. That time limit though

I like how they updated this fight

Although I think I'm a little underleveled, potentially. I could not destroy her before she self-destructed, and it took me a while to beat the chief directors and executive director. Oneshotted Okumura himself, though.

OH MAN I SHOULD HAVE READ THIS BILLIARDS BOOK EARLIER

I DIDNT REALIZE I COULD INCREASE MY TECHNICALS????

I already thought that technicals were beefed up from how they were - I guess this is part of that!

Wish I had another book on kindness, ugh.

SO THATS HOW THEY CHANGED POSITION HACK

Ann & Haru have such similar colors. I wish they would have darkened Haru's a little bit more

Wait I never got to see the Haru-Mona showtime

I even had both in my party : (

GOD IWAI YOU'RE SO SHADY

I forgot to start his social link until now whoops

Although I've only had my guts high enough for past ~2ish weeks so there's that at least

Guh, I have to get to Mementos and start up Shinya's...

How many part-time jobs does this have? Like, 5? Maybe 6, if you count him helping out Sojiro? The convenience store, the beef bowl place, the flower shop, Crossroads, and now the gun shop. Anything I'm missing? I feel like I'm missing one.

Desire & Hope is really pretty. The Desire underneath is kinda weirdly desaturated compared to the hope, though. Not sure if it actually works as well as Desire did by itself. Idk. They're both good, but I liked how Desire looked a bit more. I understand that D&H has personal meaning, though. Who knows, maybe in person I would feel differently

I kinda really like that Yusuke tends to go more abstract with his stuff, even if he does try out a bunch of different styles

Maxing Yusuke. And thank god for Affinity Readings. Finally got Ryuji at a point where I can max him.

Oh. I had forgotten how Kamu Susano-o looks. ...

[llimerrence]

hey buddy,,,,whatcha doin there?

Worm Liveblog #25

UPDATE 25: Moments of Respite

Last time there was an interlude featuring Gregor the Snail, and Faultline’s crew was fleshed out a bit more. Rather good interlude, in my opinion. Now let’s go into the sixth arc, ‘Tangle’.

I’m not sure why I foolishly expected the assault where Lung was taken out to be the one where the villain team’s plans would end. Of course that wasn’t going to be enough. That’s why the very first thing to see here in the arc is Skitter fighting what seems to be a civilian with a knife and a katana. This guy is already doing mistakes, you can’t use a knife and a katana at once. Something about the weights of the weapons will make it very difficult, and unless this man is a trained gang member and not a civilian, then he’s at disadvantage already. That’s why Skitter has no trouble defeating him.

The ABB has been using small apartment buildings as barracks for their members – mostly civilians, I’d say. That’s the main target today, and looks like the same teams from before are still here, or at least Kaiser is here. He’s still taking the helm of the operation, apparently.

We were outnumbered twenty to one, but I doubted any of us were really breaking a sweat. There was nobody with powers fighting in the ABB’s defense, since only Bakuda was uninjured and we had an idea of where she was holed up.  That meant that all we had to worry about were their rank and file gang members, and we’d already taken out the guys with guns.

Sounds to me like the ABB are as good as defeated. Bakuda is dangerous and someone not to underestimate, but the fact she’s hiding – and they know where she may be – does hint she doesn’t have the upper hand and won’t have it for quite a while. There’s a chance she’s preparing something big, though, better be careful.

Spitfire, Gregor the Snail and Grue are mentioned. I was wrong about this being the same team than before, alright. Faultline’s mercenaries are a good choice, I definitely don’t mind seeing more of them around. I’m also rather curious how Gregor can fight, I know he’s pretty resistant to weapons and the such, but this could be a chance to find out about his attack skills!

Skitter fights another guy. Nobody’s surrendering, they all have to be convinced to stop through some physical punishment. It’s a tough situation for all of them, hard to not try your best when Bakuda installed a bomb in your head. Those who face Skitter are lucky, better her than anyone else, even if this one was knocked out with Grue because he proved to not be scared of the bugs and all.

Oh, Tattetale is here too! And she’s giving information such as how many people remain inside, tht kind of intel. All in all, nobody here’s having any trouble at all! Spitfire and Gregor are working in tandem, too. Spitfire burned the building where the ABB members are at, Gregor makes sure it doesn’t extend to other buildings.

He’d informed us before the fight started – he could concoct a variety of chemicals in his prodigious stomach and project them in a stream from his skin.  Adhesives, lubricants and strong acids, among other things.  The one he would be using now would be something fire retardant, as we’d planned.

Oh, ew. That’s disgusting yet impressive at the same time. Where do you get these ideas, Mr. Wildbow? This is definitely not a power I’d have ever imagined! So that’s what Gregor can do...yeah, I can see the many practical uses he can have, that’s for sure. Nice to see this power is up to my expectations!

“So this thing with the ABB is almost over,” he said, “And I was talking to Fog, one of Kaiser’s people.  Sounds like he’s not going to press the issue over Bitch and the dogfighting thing, like you suspected.”

That’s one heck of a dodged bullet, isn’t it? I doubt Wolfwhatever was happy at all that this isn’t going to be pursued at all, but then again, Skitter defeated Lung almost by herself and saved Kaiser’s life by virtue of knocking Lung out. Kaiser is not the kind of guy to be intimidated, that much I’m 100% sure about, but if I were him I’d be careful about picking a fight with Skitter.

While Grue and Skitter are tying the gang members, they have a casual conversation about their plans for tomorrow. Hah! As if there was more proof needed this is an easy fight for them.

Technically, I could or should be going back to school, but I still had the tentative excuse of the concussion, so I could get away with missing another few days. After the way the meeting with the school had gone, I was glad for the excuse.

Chances are Taylor would be targeted by the bullies again, right? Sure, there was a meeting and all, and if she’s lucky it may make the bullies think twice before doing something, but it also could make the bullying campaign turn more covert, do stuff that can’t be traced to them.

It sure says a lot of Mr. Wildbow’s talent that the whole deal with the bullies is almost on the same level than the cape stuff. It’s two completely different things, but to me both have the same feelings of ‘what can Taylor do, I dunno’. I thought the bully thing would start feeling superfluous, but no, it still feels like a worthwhile thing to read! It’s awful to read about, but it’s worthwhile!

Grue asks Skitter to help him with some furniture he has to assemble, and of course, she accepts. As he left, Tattletale joined me, taking a few wrist-ties from me, and helping me with others.  She was grinning. Oh, really now? Are you saying you see a relationship blossoming between those two? You know, I can actually see that happening! It’s too early to say, but they do get along, and it’s not farfetched to think Grue may have romantic interest on Skitter! Wouldn’t be a bad thing to see, I’d support that!

The building collapses – with nobody inside, most likely – so the job is done! Assault complete, the ABB may be more or less defeated by the end of the day. I still await what Bakuda will do, though. I won’t be convinced this is over until I see by myself she’s giving up. Grue’s pretty sure the ABB is done for. Oh, definitely not.

Lisa commented, “It’s like I was telling you, Taylor, someone breaks those unspoken rules, the community protects the status quo. Now that Lisa points that, she’s right. If someone upsets the balance then yeah, everyone bands together to make sure the continuous, hm, ‘game’ the capes take part of keeps going. It’s what works, a gang going crazy and blowing up a quarter of the city doesn’t work. And now, it’s done! Status quo should return in matter of days. I doubt the ABB was as destroyed as they think it is, but chances are it won’t try to get as dangerous as they got.

During the way back Lisa prepares to deliver exposition about the powers of some of the new capes. Oh boy, I better start taking notes. Trickster can teleport anything he sees, as long as they have roughly the same mass. He had ABB members hitting their own guys, he was disarming them like it was a piece of cake He must be really experienced, then, because the drawback about the same mass part is rather big. The shapeshifter, Genesis, isn’t a shapeshifter, she actually makes projections from a distance. I can see the uses of that, yeah. And Sundancer, well, we know what she does. Just like Brian says, they all are “Heavy hitters,” I especially like Genesis’ power.

“We can be glad they’re on our side,” I said. “For now,” Brian pointed out, “We still don’t know why they’re here and why they’re helping.” Why do I have the feeling Taylor may have jinxed it a little? I’m not saying the Travelers will turn against them right now, but thanks to this I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future they have to fight the Travelers.

���Mind if I stay over again, tonight?” I asked. Again?! Taylor, you haven’t been back home since that day? Well, that bruise she has is really noticeable and that’s no surprise at all, but staying away from home for several days in a row is bound to raise suspicions, isn’t it? Dad Hebert will start asking questions. Uh...I’m not entirely sure, but maybe Taylor should consider investing in some make-up, or concealer, or something to hide the bruise. It’s going to be a few days more before the bruise is gone!

And just like I expected, Dad Hebert is getting worried. I saw that coming several miles away.  “I’d like you to come home, Taylor.  It worries me that I haven’t seen you since you left the meeting at the school.” I have to wonder what exactly Taylor’s been telling him. It’s not like he can force her to talk to him, but Taylor really doesn’t strike me as the type to not begrudgingly tell a lie to keep Dad Hebert calm. This is not going that well. He hesitated.  “Okay, just tell me you’re going to school.” Hah! Take a guess. I don’t think Dad Hebert believes for a second you’re going to school, Taylor! He won’t argue with you about that, but I really doubt he thinks you told the truth.

The chapter ends, looking like Taylor will go home to see Dad Hebert. I’m not particularly worried about how this meeting will go, it should go well. It all depends on how well Taylor can conceal the bruise, though, because if Dad Hebert sees it then there’ll be a lot of worrying. Don’t err now, Taylor. I’ll go to the next chapter now.

Taylor sure is enjoying her life without parental supervision. Hah! I think it’ll be a while before you’re completely independent, dear. But yeah, she’s sticking to her routines the best she can, still going for runs, for example. Also checking the news. There’s a scoop. The headline? ‘VILLAINS STEP IN’. You can do better than that, journalists.

Now that’s accuracy. There’s even a photo of many ABB members strewn in the floor, and with the villains doing classic villain poses, ominousness notched to the max. Look and tremble at their power, general public.

The heroes are the ones that will deliver the final nail to the ABB’s coffin, so looks like the villains’ job is over. Congratulations, everyone.

The article ends with a photo of Lung’s state once everything was over, being led away by some of the ABB members. Indeed, he has no eyes, and he won’t have them for a while.  ‘Decisive blow?  Brockton Bay authorities have turned a blind eye to local villains enforcing their own brand of justice.’ Oh, pfffft, you totally wrote that on purpose, unnamed journalist. This isn’t a good time for puns! Oh man.  Was I digging myself in deeper and deeper? Judging by how you say he got away, I don’t think you have to worry at all about that, Taylor. Nobody will know you’re the one who carved Lung’s eyes out, and it’s not like he’s going to spread the word about it. All in all, I think the tatters of your heroic reputation will live on for a while longer.

Lisa arrives. I glanced at the TV, and sure enough, there was a little girl in a pink wig with a pirate costume. For some reason, my immediate thought was ‘Lazy Town’. The girl I remember from the little I absorbed through cultural osmosis is nowhere close to being ‘a little girl’, though.

It’s time for Taylor to leave and go help Brian with his stuff, the furniture and all that. After getting a cold shower, she’s pretty much ready to leave. “It’s so very you, how you use perfect punctuation and capitalization for your texts,” Lisa grinned as I headed for my room. Is there really any other way? Punctuation and capitalization makes the world spin, as far as I am concerned, hah.

Lisa still believes Taylor and Brian can be an item, even though Taylor denies it. I agree with Lisa on this one, it can happen. Lisa tells a bit of how her power kind of destroyed her interested in romantic relationships.  “Give me a few years, maybe I’ll lower my standards enough to be able to overlook what my power’s telling me about the guys’ more disgusting and degrading character quirks and habits.” So Lisa is bound to stay single, because I can’t see her willing to lower her standards just to get into a relationship. She’s going to stay single and she won’t mind it.

There are several paragraphs of Lisa giving Taylor some clothes to get Brian’s attention, because she thinks he doesn’t even know what he feels for Taylor. Yeah, maybe not. Besides I’m kind of sure that Taylor could go dressed like she just woke up from under the bench of a park and he’d still be okay with it. He doesn’t strike me as the type to care about how other people look.

A relationship with Brian was, obviously, a terrible idea.  I was only expecting to be with the Undersiders for another two weeks to a month.  Any longer than that, and I’d probably assume I wasn’t going to get the dirt on their boss, at which point I’d take what I had to the Protectorate.

Still deluding yourself about that, Taylor? You can’t convince me that’s something that will happen, Mr. Wildbow. Better save words and stop mentioning that. Yep. Totally the reason I was avoiding thinking about it.  Nothing to do with the fact that I was feeling increasingly lousy and ambivalent over the idea of turning friends in to the authorities. Now that’s better. Face it, Taylor, you’re not turning anyone to the authorities. You’re even starting to get along with Rachel, even if it is in a tense way!

Taylor delivers more of those descriptions Mr. Wildbow knows to write so well, and finds Brian sleeping beside one of the trees. This guy has guts, sleeping in public in a place where the E88 is around. Taylor guesses it's because nobody would really want to mess with him. Golly.

Brian is really against buying a car, for several reasons. A license plate may get traced to him, he wouldn’t use a car for much anyways, and if it gets stolen then Brian may as well have burned the money away.  I smiled at the word ‘hideout’.  “I get it.  Car bad.” I kicked myself.  Why did I keep lapsing into caveman-speak around him? Guess why, Taylor. She even starts staring at Brian’s strong body, because looks like Mr. Wildbow is serious about hinting there’s a chance of a relationship forming here. Nice! This can work. I don’t know what I can expect in terms of romance, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a minor plotline in this whole thing. I don’t think Mr. Wildbow is the type that’d let the romance overtake everything. Then again, I didn’t think Andrew Hussie would do it either in Homestuck, yet romantic shenanigans were the focus for quite a chunk of that webcomic. I’m just hoping Mr. Wildbow won’t make the same mistake.

I think this is a good point to stop. It’s the end of the chapter, they’re entering Brian’s building, and overall it’s a calm and nice moment. I’ll continue with the next chapter next time.

Next update: next time

[kariachi]

Okay, y’all gave your approval, so I’m doing a partial liveblog of King of the Castle. Can’t get all of the episode right now, but I’m gonna do what I can and then redo the episode for a proper liveblog when it comes out in the states and I can, ya know, watch all of it.

This one won’t be rated, because I’m missing like 10% of the episode and so can’t judge fairly.

As someone who was once a young girl, it is incredibly nostalgic watching Gwen daydream about being crowned Queen of England. That is just how it be with some girls. Also Ben is just not having shit.

Lady Wilhelmina Warrick of Castle Bishopbrooke, nickname Willy. Huh. And apparently a cousin of some sort.

Gwen is going to die of joy for she is related to a Lady. Ben is going to die of horror for they’re going to a haunted castle. Sounds about accurate.

Ben running for the haunted castle for the sake of proving it’s haunted.

Kevin, lurking on either a roof or a balcony, waiting for a certain small Tennyson. Do we ever get an episode where he appears just, dive-tackling Ben from offscreen? I feel like we need that in our lives.

Gwen disappointed that the castle is in shit shape. I’d say just rough but, part of the floor is missing, including the area of rug that should be hiding it. Willy needs to step up her game, pick up a hammer or something. It’s called DIY.

Willy’s got some upper body strength. Also refers to Max as Cousin Maxie, so I have to assume the two are actually somewhat close. How close of a relation is it, I wonder?

Gwen curtseys and Ben tries to copy her but doesn’t have the balance for it. This is why we practice, Ben.

Gwen wanting to know everything about being a noble.

“There’s always work to be done” that’s putting it mildly.

The only thing here out to get you Ben is Kevin. Although I wouldn’t put it past him to be behind that, though I do think Gwen is right about it just being how bad of shape the building is in.

I’m fairly certain Willy’s about to put Max to work helping clean shit up (you brought it on yourself Max) while the kids escape, but given we lose some bits right here this is just an assumption. We jump from Max offering directly to Ben and Gwen wandering around.

Ben goes Heatblast to light a load of torches to keep ghosts at bay, and immediately the wind comes through and blows them all out again. And Heatblast himself while it’s at it.

More Kevin, sneaking about the halls. Child are you honestly behind this? I wouldn’t be surprised, you totally would, I just wanna know how. Also the fucking chord when he appears, it’s not Norman Bates fucking chill.

Ben is too scared of ghosts to wander around without his cousin.

Willy drinking tea while Max mops up and mice run about. I am not shocked.

Well Gwen, this is what happens when you go someplace labelled ‘haunted’. They tend to be very dusty and also a lot less elegant than the not-so-haunted castles. Besides, Willy’s a Lady not the Queen.

The Warrick family crest is a bear playing a harp like it’s a fucking electric guitar. Have you ever had that moment where you wonder where a character gets it and then the show just, answers you in the most unexpected way?

And Ben lights the tapestry on fire because an end curled up when Gwen went to look at it and so it is clearly evil and possessed. Gwen leaves, Ben panics, and the tapestry crumbles to ash after he throws it out a window. You know Kevin is behind one of those bookshelves going ‘this is why I bully him’.

Ben does not like being alone in a haunted castle.

Ben: “It’s clear what happened here- Gwen was eaten by a ghost, and you’re next if you aren’t careful! It’s too late for Gwen, but you have lots of options!” Followed by an imagine spot depicting him not being able to do shit to defend himself against a ghost with Gwen clearly visibly in it’s belly. 10-yos everybody.

I just love that as the imagine spot goes on eaten!Gwen gets more and more tired of the whole situation, ending with her kicking back and reading a book inside the ghost. He doesn’t half know his cousin, does he?

Also confirmation Ben knows he can’t go Wildvine or Overflow.

Gwen is very good at this ghost prank thing, though Ben does make it very easy. And the reveal the ghost is Gwen is where we leave off on this portion. Only one more clip to go and that seems to cover most of the rest of Kevin’s existence in this episode.

(Random, did y’all know CN Aus has the whole of Escape from Aggregor up on youtube? I’m not gonna liveblog it because I already did a few years back, but in case y’all wanna watch it, it’s there.)

We begin this next section with a Ben and a Gwen and a hedgemaze.

Ben has been eaten by the hedgemaze, it’s Rose Red all over again.

And Ben is panicking, not helped by Kevin taking full advantage of his fear of ghosts to be all eerie voice from out of sight. Because this child.

“Gwen is that you again?” Ben asks of the very Kevin voice. Like seriously, this kid isn’t even trying to hide it’s him. It’s wonderful.

Oh look, it’s, Thornblade I think? Kev’s Wildvine equivalent? Taking full advantage of location. I’m going to assume Kevin watches a lot of horror movies because he’s playing it well so far.

Dodging blows being thrown at you from the hedges right up until Thornblade forms himself out of vines in front of you while you weren’t looking.

Nobody would’ve expected Ben to be happy to see Kevin, but Kevin he can at least fight, unlike a ghost.

I admit, the way that was going, I was expecting the argument to devolve into yeah-huhs and nuh-uhs. Don’t know whether I’m sad or not that it didn’t. Although Ben claiming he’s fought houseplants badder than Thornblade is both hilarious and stupid given he is in Thornblade’s clutches at the time.

Ben goes Four Arms, surprising Kevin which I wasn’t expecting. But then Ben gets to be surprised when he knocks Kev over a hedge and it look like he times out, only for sudden- Undertow was it? Eh, I’ll probs find out in a second.

Ooo, nice use of the water powers, focusing on the ground so he can trap Ben in mud.

Okay, now Kevin is just showing off. ‘Look at what I’ve got and can do’. Seriously, Kev, 1) how did you get these aliens, and 2) stick with a shape child. What did you just add this feature? Oh my gods that’s exactly what’s happening isn’t it? You added the switching feature like, yesterday, and are having too much fun testing it out.

Okay, can I just say I really love Dark Matter’s design? Just, we went from a smol frog with no physical capabilities to speak of to balance out the brains, to an actual fucking horror movie monster with brawn as well. And I mean it, look at Dark Matter and how Kevin moves as him, that wouldn’t be out of place in something like Alien or Pumpkinhead.

Seriously, Dark Matter just, kicks ass. Never was big on Grey Matter but this is a frog I can stan.

Seriously those movements are just, exquisite. Also the crystal power? I don’t know what the fuck that red crystal he caused to overtake Ben is or how he managed it as Dark Matter, but it’s cool at fits the horror movie aesthetic.

Trying getting Kevin to monologue for those last few seconds before his watch times out. Not that it works, but it was a valiant attempt.

Not that it mattered anyway because it was literally seconds left. Also the look on Kevin’s face when he realizes he’s timed out and Ben is still Four Arms- you can hear the ‘fuckfuckfuckfuck’ going through his little head.

Exit, stage right, pursued by alien.

Ben, having timed out: Alright Kevin, it’s time to ask question and get answers, and I’m all out of answers. Kevin: This boy is a moron

(I know that’s not the line but still.)

Also immediately reminding Ben that in their normal forms he is bigger, smarter, and stronger. Which is true on all counts, given Kev is apparently a tech whiz and definitely older than Ben is.

And teasing Ben for being scared of ghosts just before they both get jumpscared by an inanimate object, the bear statue sending them both fucking bolting, complete with screams.

And Kevin tumbles through a hedge, poorly, just in time for his watch to time back in and an ominous shadow to appear over him.

Forever Knight is here and complimenting Kev. Apparently he ‘shows promise’ (on this we can agree). Kevin, meanwhile, responds to a stranger in full armor appearing out of nowhere and striking up conversation with glares and mild sass.

And while the Forever Knight is touting that old-ass ‘work with me and we shall crush our enemies’ line Kevin has walked away, scoffed at him, shut him down, and called him a nerd and a creep. I’m so proud of my child, he’s a shit but he’s so good.

Willy is gonna miss the fam, though the kids were a delight, Max was a big help.

Willy gives Gwen an antique family heirloom music box as a parting gift, because some people are cool like that. Ben gets forgiveness for all the damage he caused. And Max gets some quality tea to help him chillax after what was apparently the worst day of cleaning ever to look at him.

And we end on Willy having just gotten some contractors in to patch the place up. Good on her. There’s more to the episode but, well. Bits & pieces.

Ok starting ReMind liveblogging now

please have your tags filtered

Ok....if ur on mobile sorry for long post?

😍😍😍😍😍😍 there he is, first again!

Xig: “oh my god shut up.”

the xiglux content I wanted

nowkiss.png

Honestly.....Nomura did always say Luxord was his favorite way back in Days....so no surprise he’s getting a bigger role too

OOOOO he’s so cute when he’s pouting 😍😍😍😍😍

So....this is Xehanort’s trip mentioned in his reports? But...

I’m so confused, this is Xehaort before he was “corrupted” but he’s.....is this taking place in the past instead? Why is the Master there in the past if he wasn’t suppose to be around til after the war?

Ooooh yeah that’s Christopher Lloyd alright...I like his voice more, sorry Hauer :/

It’s really weird just hearing them officially refer to them as “Riku Replica” instead of “the riku replica,” “young xehanort” and so on...

So we have a reason for WHY Xion was chosen but not HOW and also why SHE agreed to it...

*weird cat noises*

oh OH The. The Sleeping Realm theory got part of it right????

Oh they’re actually explaining THAT weird scene

ARE WE GONNA GET CANON STATIONS FOR EACH GUARDIAN???

oh shit, Darkness?? THAT Darkness???

The...Dark Inferno again?

This was much easier this time...

Oh shit we are! Why....is Xehanort and Vanitas there in Aqua’s but not Eraqus?

uh...Light Form > Darkqua...

Ugh...I’m gonna have to read a recap of this cause I’m still confused....

DO I GET TO PLAY AS LINGERING WILL???

nvm he died :/ that’s extremely disappionting

Lemme....play as Mickey here....please...  :/

Whyyyyy are we redoing the fights? Most of us replayed the game just before the DLC dropped :/ I just finished it YESTERDAY

WHAT....Why do I get the option between Sora and Riku but not Sora and Mickey????? HE WAS PLAYABLE IN KH2!!

Wait...Xigbar’s dying phrase was different...I couldn’t hear what he said but I know it was different because it was shorter

DEMYX I KNOW YOU’RE THE MASTER

Oh my god he has a gummiphone....from Ienzo....Zemyx is canon......

“If you damage Namine’s vessel I’m gonna beat the shit out of you.”

Did...did they fix...oh my god they fixed Vanitas’s voice to be less gravely

I’m confused, so Vanitas isn’t really Ven? So is he actually Darkness then?

Aww I don’t get to play as Ven :(

Wow ok Terranort/Vanitwas was hard, mostly the former, wth

Oof Vanitas’s voice uses the old voice clip here :/

LOL I completely forgot about the earlier new terranort scene

Oh...yet again Eraqus is missing from a Station of Awakening??? that’s his dad! why is there so much Eraqus erasure? It’s kinda annoying

Ok so the Toy Story thing was connected to Xion after all.

So...is this a plan by Saix to bring Xion back then or just coincidence? Seems like it, Saix is getting mad that Lea isn’t remembering

Booooo fuck off Sora let me play as Lea now since Kairi is later

Riku is in Roxas’ Station but not Namine? Ok....wait why did Xion disappear from it just now?

oh shit Kairi vs Xemnas, no wonder he took her

Oh neat, Roxas is still OP

....So “Roxas” was actually Sora possessing his vessel? Or...

Oooooh the light is Sora possessing each of them

Man I’m getting a loooooooot of max MP increases, which is fine by me since I picked Mystic/Wisdom and spam Firaga in boss fights

They....redubbed Xehanort’s speech before the Nort Court but not Vanitas’s lines? The uh, lines by Lloyd don’t quite match up with the movements. Ok they even redubbed his lines during the fight too. Can they just...have him redub the rest of the base game lines too?

Ansem, you have depression

Still don’t care about Xemnas, it’s ya own damn fault you bitch

S....So Kairi didn’t die after all? If he just crystalized her then why do all this??

Doesn’t he still need 2 more hearts befre he can find Kairi though? He only has 5.

I thought I somehow missed this chest twice, but no, I get to actually explore Scala now

Oh no....they added like 10 chests....I must have their contents...nvm most of them suck

Lol....Sora isn’t even in Riku’s Station

This is interesting. Don’t like how the 2 girls and Mickey are relegated to Defense though :/

Oh god, Ven and Roxas talking to each other

Mickey in the with save!

the return of MickeyRiku

Donald and Goofy didn’t get to do anything huh

playing as kairi and roxas was super fun, riku and aqua not so much. the team attack sphere thing was kinda neat.

Chirithy: *Sees Sora and Kairi holding hands* “Uh oh, that’s dirty...”

But...does Ven even remember Chirithy?

Oh my god...they’re just going on a bunch of dates now 😭

SORA’S BEEN DEAD FOR A YEAR?!

KAIRI’S BEEN IN A FUCKING COMA?!?

This is so funny....considering I didn’t.. actually... do the original Data Fights 😥😥😥

i gave up on xion, so i know i wouldn’t be able to do master xehanort. only xigbar and marluxia were any fun. several, many, tons of times i came very close to breaking something. who in the hell thought making fights this hard on the standard difficulty was a good idea? if people want to have a rough time they’ll play fucking critical mode. don’t gatekeep the goddamn story behind rng bosses with ridiculous mechanics and a shitty camera.

the bad end of the secret episode surprised me. i don’t care one bit about yozora so....idc about this otherwise.

this wasn’t worth $30. Just go watch the scenes on youtube and spare yourself and your wallet. Most of the good shit was in the free update anyway.
