What’s Out This Week? 11/2

We say goodbye to Spooky Season this week, but welcome lots of new titles to get us through the end of Fall!

Fruiting Bodies GN - Ashley Robin Franklin

Frances, her brother, and his annoying friend Trent have their Pacific Northwest road trip derailed when a wrong turn strands them in the rain-soaked woods. Luckily, they're found by a beautiful, friendly stranger who is eager to help them-but is her convenient arrival their salvation, or something else entirely?

World After The Fall GN Vol 1 - Singnsong, S-Cynan &Undead Gamja

A mysterious tower one day appeared in the skies - a beacon of chaos and apocalypse. The heroic Walkers cleared its floors to save humanity, until the Regression Stone was discovered and slowly everyone left. Once the last Walker reached floor 100, he no longer knew what to believe...

Behold, Behemoth #1 (of 5) - Tate Brombal & Nick Robles

Greyson's world is crumbling following his brother's sudden and mysterious death... His sleepless nights are haunted by vivid nightmares of a terrifying monster, pushing him to the brink of losing both his sanity and his job as a social worker. But he's truly shaken to the core when his newest case-a young orphaned girl named Wren-is found at the scene of a brutal murder, just hours after first meeting Greyson. The line between nightmare and waking life blurs as Greyson soon discovers that the monster from his dreams might just be real-a mythical, ancient beast that is bringing about the end of the world, with shocking connections to both him and Wren...

The Wonderous Wonders GN - Camille Jourdy

It's perfect weather for a family picnic, but Jo is in a bad mood. Hurt by her parents' divorce and struggling to accept her new stepfamily, she decides to run away and live alone in the woods. But she soon discovers that she's far from alone! Jo stumbles into a magical world populated by weird and wondrous creatures. Her new friends are on a mission: rise up against the devious Emperor Tomcat. Can Jo find the courage to vanquish an evil empire and get back to her family before dinnertime?

Hell To Pay #1 - Charles Soule, Will Sliney & Dave Johnson

The Shrouded College will give you magic... but you'll incur a debt. Until it's paid, you belong to them. Married couple Maia and Sebastian Stone took that deal. They have worked for the College ever since, using their new abilities to track down 666 cursed coins: qurrakh... aka, the Devil's Dollar. Only a few remain. The Stones are almost free... but the devil's in the details.

Nature’s Labyrinth #1 (of 6) - Zac Thompson, Bayleigh Underwood & Filya Bratukhin

In the middle of the ocean lies a remote island complex lined with traps and an ever-changing landscape. Created by a mysterious man known only as "Ahab," the island was designed to test the wills of the world's most notorious criminals. In a battle royale style game, eight violent felons will fight for survival and to the death over the course of three days of relentless action. The winner receives a wealth or riches and complete anonymity, but at the cost of keeping their silence about the island's existence. What Ahab doesn't know is that someone is on to him. Someone has infiltrated his island with the intention of revealing the truth about this twisted game.

Blue Box GN Vol 1 - Kouji Miura

Taiki would have done anything to get closer to his crush, Chinatsu. But now that they are living under the same roof, he may have gotten more than he bargained for. How will he be able to focus on badminton when the girl of his dreams is only a room away?

The Ones #1 (of 4) - Brian Michael Bendis & Jacob Edgar Every single person in every mythology that was told they were THE ONE are brought together for the first time to defeat . . . THE ONE. The actual one. The real actual one. This amazing new vision is brought to life by wunderkind artist and cocreator Jacob Edgar (Batman, Army of Darkness). Watch as he brings explosive comics splendor to this big new world! Think Good Omens meets Ghostbusters meets The Adam Project meets The Goonies meets Everything Everywhere All at Once meets, um, anything else you've ever liked!

The Purple Oblivion #1 (of 4) - E&E Plissken & Diego Simone

From the creators of Heavy Metal Drummer. Jessica Knot: Dominatrix, Disciplinarian, Fetishist, Sadist, Goddess... or at least that's what her business card says. Enter Peter, a young man whose just found this card and is about to let his curiosity get himself into a situation with that begins with a cult, but ends with something much more sinister.

Washington White GN - Adam Griffiths

In the District of Columbia, the President authorizes covert testing of a mind-control disease, a greedy developer gentrifies the universe within the disease, and the black owner of a local tabloid threatens to expose the corruption-because his evil, white tycoon dad is the one behind it.

Vampirella Vs Red Sonja #1 - Dan Abnett, Alessandro Ranaldi & Joe Quinones

It's a monumental clash of titans that had to happen, from master storyteller Dan Abnett! Both Vampirella and Red Sonja were recruited by the Project, a cosmic collection of superheroes sworn to protect all known universes. But Vampirella is now considered a murderous criminal - and she's capable of defeating any hero. Unfortunately for her, Red Sonja is no hero...

Whatcha snagging to kick off November, Fantomites?

"#加速主义#Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were photographed together at the fashion show for their line, The Row, during a rare joint appearance at Paris Fashion Week.

The twins were photographed alongside model Rosanna Ovalles Robles, and the picture was posted on IMG Models scout JD Moran's Instagram account.

The former child stars turned fashion designers were wearing all black outfits featuring oversized black coats. Mary-Kate accessorized her outfit with a few necklaces, deciding to wear her hair partially in a bun, while Ashley wore her hair down and accessorized her outfit with a black ring.

The last time the two were photographed together was in December 2020 when they were spotted having dinner together in New York City. While they lived very public lives as children, they have become very private since leaving their acting careers behind and focusing on the fashion industry."

Was lucky enough to have this piece published earlier this month on Grub Street Literary Magazine. Wraps up so many of my insecurities and anxieties that still surround my queerness and that have unfortunately only gotten worse in the current climate. BUT that's enough sad stuff, had to get that out before pride, June is for healing 🏳️‍🌈

I don't know if you said this before, but do you have any fancasts for sonic characters in the movie universe?

*laughing hysterically* BOI DO I HAHAHA

So first off, i put up a mycast.io in order to keep track of my thoughts. mycast is a collaborative site (aka: other people can submit stuff) so not every cast suggestion on there is my idea but that just means i welcome participation everyone submit ur filmverse fancasts

But second, here are the ones I'm v passionate about:

Facecasts for the humans:

Alyvia Alyn Lind as Maria. She would literally be perfect let's do it

Sophia Lillis as Elise but like. if Elise was written well

Karen David as Shahra the Genie. "she probably wouldn't show up in filmverse" this is for FUN brent we have fun here

Voices: Okay so I would prefer people who DO have VA experience but we're fancasting for fun under the assumption that the studio is like "pick film celebrities" so

KITANA TURNBULL AS AMY. Amy's gonna be like ~10 years old in the filmverse timeline so Kitana's voice would work great, also Kitana can pull off both sweet helpful girl (The Rocketeer) and "going to kill you" (Series of Unfortunate Events) sidenote but she would also be a really good live-action Seira from the OVA

I have a couple for Blaze but my main one is Kelly Marie Tran. Listen to her emotional lines in Raya and tell me she wouldn't be perfect!!! But other options: Jennie Kwan, Saara Chaudry, Amita Suman [idk if Amita has VA experience tho?]

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES AS ROUGE THE BAT OR WE RIOT

Jenny Slate as Sticks, for two reasons: 1) comedian, 2) SPECIFICALLY SO WE CAN HAVE STICKS AND SONIC DO THE "DON'T BE SUSPICIOUS" ROUTINE ONSCREEN

John Boyega Shadow pls

Sally Acorn - Cristina Vee is a Sally fan! Otherwise Zendaya did a good Kath Soucie impression for Space Jam, and also. Aimee Carrero.

Also. Cristina Vee as Honey the Cat pls.

Tikal’s VA NEEDS to be indigenous she is HEAVILY indigenous coded. I personally like Madeleine Madden but Auli’i Cravalho is a popular one that could work, also this next gal doesn’t have VA experience yet but. Kiawenti:io Tarbell would sound great

random but I could see Rhenzy Feliz as Silver. [i’ve known him since marvel runaways but y’all would know him as “sEVEN FOOT FRAME, RATS ALONG HIS BACK--”]

I know in my heart there's little chance of Shade appearing but. Eden Espinosa my beloved.

Got quite a few for Tangle actually- Brenda Song, Sarah-Nicole Robles, Abbi Jacobson, Ashley Burch... also this one doesn't have VA experience but if they wanna hire an actual teenager, Emmy DeOliveira would work [Kate in the Disney+ Mysterious Benedict Society]

My idea of a Whisper voice seems to be different from everyone else but uh. Karen Fukuhara or Kimiko Glenn sound like how I picture her in my head

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic cinematic universe #mine

Dead at how the woman with the Tim plushies just never returned, and the Jimenez + Robles thing is looking to be like something for June after all. The most amount of teases in the last week and for what!!

Like honestly the Shea + Jimenez + Robles thing not getting announced doesn’t shock me tht much but that Ashley Robinson person had said she’d have some announcement for Friday (she didn’t specify Tim in the text but the pic of her with it had all the merch ya know) and uhhhh… nothin’ that I’ve seen? So who knows

OK, so 2021

Year two of the pandemic, and it settles in that this may be a long-term thing. It’s weird because it almost feels like 2021 is just more of 2020, and not until getting fully vaccinated in May did it start to feel different. You kind of hope that this is just a weird blip in our lives, and we can only do the most of it while keeping safe. But overall, I can’t be too mad as we are still doing some fun stuff and continuing our California Adventure. Let’s begin:

January

We start with a fun one, driving up to Little Rock/Mendocino area. First off what a beautiful drive just before getting there, and the actual hotel/resort was one of our favorites. The coastal views were amazing, perhaps one of our top favorite locations in California. Other than that, we moved into our current apartment in Emeryville, where we will find ourselves long term (relative to previous stints). A nice location not too far from anything and allowed me to start biking to work which was a nice change in pace.

February

Had a chance to cross off a couple things off my list, such as Snowboarding and Skiing for the first time in Bear Valley. I’ve always wanted to try Snowboarding, but man did it hurt! I would end up busting my ass every trip down the practice slope. A bit discouraged, the second time going out there I went with Skiing, a much nicer first-time experience. Enough to try an actual slope, which the first time I caused quite a crash, but the second time a very aggressive pizza got me down the slope safely. Safe to say I’ll probably lean Skiing for next season. Besides the winter sports, we had a nice trip to San Jose, with great fish and chips and staying in the hotel. While there we explored this neat little Japanese garden, I hope to check out a few more spotted around the bay area.

March

Not a lot of travel here, but a couple memorable things happened. One was getting my first shot of the Covid vaccine, feeling like a small step back to normal. Another interesting thing that happened; we ordered my Bronco. Now, let’s be honest there is a long road ahead and I’m not sure I’ll see my Bronco until the end of 2022 or beyond (if at all?), but it’s been an interesting swing to get into 4x4 this year.

April

One huge update here, Ashley gets her job at Nuro! What a journey she went through, but man is it paying off. It’s a cool and fun company to be working for. A major hurdle and accomplishment for our journey to the west coast, I’m glad she made it. The month includes a quick Bronco poke around event, and Francis’ rooftop birthday party

May

Here strikes a true feeling of turning a new leaf, as we are fully vaccinated and feel more comfortable out and about. This of course starts with a trip back home, where we conclude one year away from family, something I’ve never done before. The welcome back home was refreshing, albeit a bit overwhelming. Jam packed 10 days of nonstop family and friends. Festivities included Kobe’s Baptism (I am a Godfather now), going to a Heat game, and driving through Orlando, Ocala, Broward, and Miami to get all the hugs in. It was a long time coming, and much needed check in back home.

June

A little quieter after the eventful May, but along with some small local excursions (which I’ve compiled down below) we had a few fun nights playing Sherlock Holmes with cousins and friends (including a nice little summer BBQ at Brannan).

July

Continuing our Vaccine summer, we went to Paso Robles with some friends. A little controversial trip but there were a few bits of fun including getting out to the beach. Other than that trip, we did Karaoke one night (which is hard to imagine it’s been so long since the last time we did that).

August

August was a fun one. We went up to Sacramento to watch a couple NBA Preseason games and ended with a fabulous trip to a Hot Pot restaurant with ayce hot pot and appetizers. Cousins came into town, and we did a quick trip to Napa along with some city eating. Later in the month we went to LA, meeting up with AJ and Candice to watch H.E.R. at the famous Hollywood bowl amphitheater. Back in SF we took a pottery class which was really fun (and managed to come out with 5 usable items!), and I took a surfing lesson the next weekend. Although I didn’t quite manage to get up for a full surf, it was enjoyable to be in the water. I also managed to finagle my way into a remote workday in the city with the SF friends which was a fun experience, and ended with an SF Giants baseball game, my first baseball game I’ve ever been to (as cheesy as it was, it was quite fun buying cracker jacks and singing “Take me out to the ball game”). At the time we saw it as a sneak peak of what the future would be like once we moved into the city (unfortunately that may not be the case).

September

Coming off of the eventful August, September was quieter (although I’m sure I’m not taking account of any small hang outs with the SF friends or cousins). One fun thing we ended up doing was the Lexus drive event, where I got to drive around a few cars including the Lexus LC500, an aspirational car of mine.

October

This month was fun, including two big trips. First was a work trip to Bethlehem Pennsylvania. A quaint little town with little things to explore (including an old college campus with some neat buildings). A little reminiscent of my Milwaukee trips, it was nice to explore an atypical location and meet some people from my work. What else happened? Well, I ordered a Maverick. Again, I won’t be seeing this until next year, but given the times you have to put in your orders and wait a long time before getting it. I’m not sure how this will end as far as Maverick vs. Bronco, and I’m thoroughly torn between the two, but that’ll be something next year will have to figure out. Last, we took a trip to South Lake Tahoe. Although quick (and cold/rainy) we had a good taste of the area and ate at some nice little places (including a great breakfast spot and an Oyster Bar a la Las Vegas). Making the loop around the lake with autumn leaves was fun to see. I definitely want to come back in the summertime.

November

So November was another one of those jam packed months. Let’s start with more car adventures, including a test drive of the Maverick, followed by an off-roading event with the new Bronco (ugh this thing is awesome) and my cousin’s Gladiator. Then we took a trip to Seattle for an extended weekend. Although it rained most of the time, we had a good time at Pike Place market (including a fun food tour). We also saw Hasan Minhaj which he was as stellar as ever. We also took a day trip up to University of Washington from Seattle, solely because their library looked like we were in Hogwarts. Last but certainly not least, we spent Thanksgiving break back home in Florida. We held Justin’s Bachelor Party, Kai’s birthday party, and saw the rest of the family in Orlando, Broward, and Miami. It was both too short and too long, just a non-stop experience but how else are you going to do it? I compare it to those times you go on a Disney trip, and do your best to be there all day to take it all in? It’s kind of like that. One neat tid bit on this trip is that we splurged on first class tickets, which got us food/drinks on the plane, and a 3-hour layover in Alaska Airlines’ Seattle flagship lounge. Neat way to end the trip/month.

December

Ah, end of the year. As Omicron is ramping up, we unfortunately have to pull on the reigns a bit. We did see the Nutcracker early in the month, one of Ash’s wishes. I thought it was neat, and interesting to hear where these classic Christmas songs come from. We did a quick trip to Monterey before Christmas, mostly so we can hit Gold status on Hilton. But we had a good time and surprisingly good eats there. Christmas (much like last year) was quieter, but honestly I completely enjoyed it with just us two in our apartment. As we approach the new year, this weekend will be most likely be something similar.

And there you have it. An odd year for sure, a mix of 2020 continuation but with more experiences here in California. We continue our Cali adventure with additional explorations, including Golden Gate Bridge, Napa, SF City Hall, Golden Gate Park, Peony nursery, Jack London Square, Reinhardt Redwoods, Hayes Valley, Walnut Creek. Making the most of the trip that we can, taking in the more local affairs. I’m happy that the vaccine allowed the world to open back up a little more, and gave us the opportunity to take advantage.

What will next year bring? Not completely sure. Looking back at my ok2020 I think 2021 delivered what I was hoping for: chance to get back together with friends and family, see more stuff, go to concerts. It all happened post April, but we did get all of that. I had known we probably wouldn’t be completely out of the norm, although right now it does feel like we are back tracking a bit. I’m happy that we continue to explore new places and do new things, and I hope that continues next year. Ashley finally got a great tech job as we sought after for so long, and so what does that mean for me? Well, I actually put in my resignation notice already, and in the middle of interviewing for potentially something new. So of course, leave it to me to make next year a big mystery and big change. I can’t really tell you what next year could bring. And as chaotic as that seems, I’m happy that I’m willing, able, and confident enough to take on such unknowns.

I do hope that we find a world where we are comfortable being close to people again, perhaps without a mask. Ash and I tend to be the most conservative on breaking down those barriers, so I hope we come to a point where that feels ok. I’d love to go back to smaller venue concerts, conventions (especially now that we are dabbling in D&D playthroughs), and the like.

Coming back to California from a visit back home in Florida, I still get the sensation “we are still on our adventure,” and I don’t think that feeling will leave anytime soon. Let’s see what happens.

Now for more notes:

Best thing I Drove: Driving the Lexus LC was short and sweet, also probably the most expensive thing I’ve driven. But this year is the start of the 4x4 interests, so I have to say the short stint in the Bronco off-road was a great experience, along with supplementary experience with the Gladiator and Wrangler to round out what it may feel like living with these machines. It’s interesting to move from sports cars to off roaders, but hey while in California I can only try to make the most of it.

Best thing I Ate: I always have a hard time pinpointing the best, and I always feel I forget in the moment, but what comes up for me is Pike Place Clam Chowder, Ashley’s butternut squash pasta, and the Sacramento Hot Pot. These were the things where conversations were made afterwards about it.

Best thing I played: I’m blanking here too, but a lot of not of the norm games for me (thanks Game Pass): Hades was stellar fun, SnowRunner I did not expect to enjoy, but with my growing interested in 4x4 it was exactly the kind of game I could want to play. Wreckfest deserves a mention as that too I did not expect to enjoy as much as I did.

Best thing I watched: I can’t believe I didn’t say Schitt’s Creek last year, I wonder what I’ll forget this year. I think it is Dimension 20, D&D playthroughs which were new to us this year and man did we sink a ton of hours into it. It’s fun to get into a new fandom, and hopefully in the years to come we can have chances to see them live.

Other things: it’s kind of cool to have ski, snowboard, surf lessons all this year for the first time, just more Cali checklist items. I look forward to getting more chances to practice in the coming year.

The Hoskins: Valentine’s Day

Collin and the reader celebrate a special Valentine’s day.

Pure fluff that no one asked for. Also, the world needs more Collin Hoskins.

Valentine’s Day was always special for you and Collin. For starters, it was the day you met. Someone stood you up on a date, and Collin was at the restaurant with Miles and Ashley. When he saw you sitting by yourself, he couldn’t stop himself from approaching you. Your date never showed up, but having Collin there was so much better.

Even as your relationship took its time going from just friends to dating, every Valentine’s day you and Collin made plans to do something together. One year it was a walk around the Rose Garden and the new bakery you wanted to try. The year after, you took him to see E-40. That was a night to remember.

Last year, after being together for four years, things got a little interesting. Collin planned a small trip for you to Paso Robles. Needless to say, you were very excited for the mini vacation and the first half of the trip you showed him just how much you appreciated it. A month later you found out you were pregnant with Junie.

It was a shock to say the least, but after making a few adjustments, you and Collin fell perfectly into being parents. Things were a little different now that you both had a new love in your lives.

Valentine’s day was vastly approaching and your boyfriend had yet to say anything about your plans. You wondered if there was a plan because now you have an almost four-month-old.

Collin sat next to you on the bed, cradling Junie in his arms, humming a song you’ve never heard of.

“What song is that?”, you questioned

“It’s E-40″, he gasped, “You know I’ll love you even if you ask me insane questions like that”

“That was a valid question”

“June bug is gonna know all the classics from E-40 to Mac Dre”, he beamed proudly

“There’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll make it happen. I remember waking up to you rapping to my stomach”

“And she loved it”

“She wouldn’t stop kicking”

“If you don’t throw in some seventies funk, I don’t think you can stay here”

“Noted. I won’t forget you love for Parliament”

Collin’s infectious smile got to you. It didn’t take long for one to appear on your face too.

“Is Valentine’s day different now that we have a baby?”, you asked before it got too quiet

Collin was already on the other side of the room, kissing Junie on the forehead before placing her in the basinet. You heard him softly whisper that he loved her before turning around.

“Just a little”, he started, “Most babysitters probably have their own dates. Miles and Ashley are going out, so my mom agreed to take Sean”

“Don’t want her to have to watch both of them plus your brother”

“We can still have Valentine’s day and have Junie with us. Sure, we’ll have to stop our evening every so often to change diapers and feed her and hold her when she cries, but it’ll be fun”

“Not too fun. We know what happened last year”, you smirked

“Come on. We can give Junie another sibling”, Collin said with a suggestive wink

“I think not. It’s way too soon”, you laughed, “Another year or so”

Collin never lied. Valentine’s day turned out to be fun after all. You opted to stay inside that Friday. He was a little tired and so were you. Junie, on the other hand, had all the energy the world had to offer. She finally went down for a nap just as Collin left to pick up dinner up the street.

You tidied up the living room before he returned. While cleaning the room, you somehow lost the remote. You looked under the couch, between the cushions, and behind the TV stand before looking into the drawer of your coffee table. You sat on your knees in shock.

There was a small black velvet box sitting in the middle of the drawer. The sound of the TV faded out as you stared at the box that was now in your hands.

“That was for after dessert”, Collin chastised you from behind, “You would look in the one spot I thought you would never look”

When you didn’t turn around, Collin placed the food on the table, sat down, and wrapped his arms around you. He rested his head on your shoulder after kissing your cheek.

“On the way back, I kept trying to think of what to say to you, but I don’t think anything can accurately describe how much I love you and how much I’ll continue to love you. I think about it whenever I look at June bug. She’s perfect”

“She’s got us wrapped around her little pinky”, you managed to get out

“She does”, Collin laughed, “I’ve never felt this way before and I didn’t know that I could have all of this--”

Collin could feel a tear a touch his cheek, but it wasn’t his. You didn’t even attempt to wipe your tears away. Collin wiped them before kissing your cheek again.

“Yes”, you blurted out

“I didn’t get to ask yet”

“You don’t have to. My answer will always be yes”

Collin squeezed you tight, then placed the ring on your finger. You turned around and tackled him to the floor, pulling him into a hug. You kissed him all over his face before pulling him in to a kiss.

“I love you (Y/N)”

“I love you too Collin”

Just as you fell into his warm embrace, Junie started to cry. You pulled yourself away to pick up your baby girl.

“Did mommy wake you?”, Collin cooed from your side

“I did not”, you giggled as you cradled her in your arms

Her cries stopped as Collin started talking again.

“Guess what, Junie pie? Mommy and I are gettin married”

When Junie happily gurgled, kicking her feet, Collin talked back to her as if she could understand him. You sat on the couch with your fiance by your side and your baby in your arms, listening to Collin tell her about the day you met.

Valentine’s day, as always, turned out to be special after all.
