So, about the movie...

At long last, a week after it came out, I was finally able to see the Sonic movie. The Daytona 500 being held across the street from my favorite theater and conflicting work schedules had been keeping me away, but now I’ve finally seen it. And it was...

Decent!

Which is way, way, way, way, way better than a movie with this awful premise has any right being. That’s for damn sure. I enjoyed my time at the theater. I don’t know how they did it, but they did it. If you like Sonic and haven’t already seen it, you will probably get a kick out of this film. If you don’t like Sonic (or Jim Carrey), there is very little in this movie for you

Okay, now that that’s out of the way, it’s time to break that whole movie down. This will contain full spoilers for the Sonic movie

This movie kinda gave me deja vu because it’s set up so similarly to the Bumblebee movie. Both open with a slavishly faithful CGI sequence on another planet to ensure long time fans that the creative team gives a shit, but a conflict sends the title character to Earth. There, they form an emotional bond with the human lead as they’re pursued by the bad guys, who are working with the US government and tracking the energy signature of the title character. This setup worked extremely well for Bumblebee, because it’s so similar to the usual plot of Transformers. For Sonic, it was... a mixed bag. But it worked better than I expected

(This shot does not happen in the movie.)

That opening though, huh? Green Hill Zone looked great, and I was pleasantly surprised to see they did, in fact, use the Hyper Potions track from Sonic Mania in the actual film. (The piano rendition of the Green Hill theme used later was also lovely.) Longclaw was also interesting. I’ve seen one person bring up all the bird-themed ruins in Sonic 1 and 2 as a possible source of inspiration for the character, and I think that’s a valid take. And man, the echidnas! I wasn’t expecting that AT ALL. I guess that was probably the Knuckles Clan or something? I would never, ever picture them being alive during Sonic’s lifetime, but like... I guess Knuckles had to come from somewhere, right? If they do another movie with Knuckles, will the rest of his kind have died out?

Sadly, though, this sequence felt like it was over in a heartbeat. We barely see Sonic’s life on his home planet, and we’re expected to feel emotional over Longclaw’s sacrifice when she only gets like three lines before Sonic is sent to Earth. This is a common theme with the film--it goes for these big emotional beats that it just does not earn with its rapid fire pacing

Anyway, then we fast forward and Sonic’s a teen. This is actually kind of an interesting one if you’re constantly neck deep in Sonic Character Analysis like me, because it’s a pretty different take on the character. It’s hard to give them credit for doing something somewhat fresh with the character, though, because like... how much of that was intentional, and how much was just Hollywood writers trying to squeeze a generic action-adventure movie out of Sonic? (Honestly, it’s probably mostly the latter.)

The closest other piece of Sonic media to the movie would probably be Sonic X, a story in which Sonic isn’t really the protagonist. The Sonic of the anime is fairly emotionally distant. He cares deeply about his friends, and does nice things for them, but he’s totally fine with running off on his own for extended lengths of time, and he doesn’t really talk about his feelings. He’s not the character the audience is meant to sympathize with, but is instead this cool older kid who Chris wants to impress. This is pretty much in line with how Sega likes to depict the character. He cares about his friends, but he’s also cool with being a loner. It feels like he only runs into them incidentally, usually when Eggman is causing trouble, and then when the crisis of the week is taken care of he’s back to going on his own adventures. There’s a reason why one of his catchphrases is “long time no see”

The Sonic of the movie is the polar opposite. His main conflict is that he’s lonely and desperately seeks friendship. He’s also an overly-eager, extremely earnest goober. He literally flosses twice. (Which I loved.) I’ve seen him compared to Silver, and honestly, that’s not a bad comparison. I did like it, though! I don’t mind Sonic being a more emotionally open character, like he was in a lot of older Western media. I mean, he cried in like the second or third episode of SatAM

It’s just that, like many things in the movie, it feels less like a deliberate creative choice and more like a logical string of decisions to make when writing a generic action-adventure film for general audiences. Sonic’s the only one of his kind on Earth, so of course he’d be lonely. He has to have some sort of arc for audiences to connect with him, and if he’s gotta be accompanied by James Marsden for the whole movie, well, his arc’s gotta be about them becoming friends

I’ve gotta say, though: Ben Schwartz is great as Sonic. As much as I like Roger Craig Smith, I wouldn’t complain if he became the new main voice of the character. And thanks to the redesign, he looked great. I can’t imagine how nightmarish this movie would’ve been if Sonic wasn’t cute

My main fear with this movie, though, was that Sonic wouldn’t really be the protagonist. As a fan of Transformers, I know all too well that the cost of doing a full CGI character usually means that said character can’t really be the star of the film. Optimus and Bumblebee aren’t the stars of the Transformers movies--they’re supporting characters who are primarily present for the sake of the action scenes. The humans are the real stars in those movies, and the robots are barely even characters. I was terrified that Sonic would be the same, with the actual character I paid to see taking a backseat to James Marsden The Cop

I’m not quite sure if they struck the right balance there, but they did better than I worried they would. Sonic is central enough to the film and gets enough screentime that you can easily say he’s the protagonist. BUT there is absolutely too much of Tom and his family. The human cast is fine, the performances are fine, and there were a few good jokes, but every time the movie tried to get me to care about Tom’s life I was bored out of my mind. It’s just so trite and passionless. The other characters barely felt fleshed out at all, including Tom’s girlfriend (wife?) and Agent Stone. The little girl who gives Sonic the shoes had some cute moments, though

I do, however, love the part in which James Marsden is walking around in a San Francisco t-shirt, to remind us that he’s planning on moving to San Francisco... which then becomes the excuse for Sonic to think about San Francisco and accidentally send his warp rings there, which becomes the excuse for the buddy road trip aspect of the film. And as much as that was a focus of the marketing, the actual road trip part is like... maybe 20 minutes of the movie? There’s like three scenes with Sonic and Tom on the road and then they’re in San Francisco for act 3. The movie tries to act like they’ve formed this deep bond and I just did not give a shit. I don’t care about the cop. All Cops Are Bastards, and that absolutely includes Tom, whose dream in life is to join the extremely corrupt San Francisco PD

The whole excuse for Sonic having to sit in the passenger seat of a car going the speed limit for a good chunk of the movie is also, just. Stupid. If he doesn’t know where San Francisco is and time is of the essence, just... give him a map?

And then there’s Jim Carrey. I was worried about this one. The previews tended to highlight his most Jim Carrey Being Wacky moments, and as fond as I am of movies like The Truman Show and Bruce Almighty, that’s just. That’s not Robotnik. I was pleasantly surprised by the actual movie, though! I thought he was pretty good. I’m not sure what incarnation of Eggman I’d most compare him to, but like... it was close enough, and he was entertaining enough. I’d pay to go see another movie with him as Robotnik. Sure. (Especially with how he was looking at the end of the film.)

There were some other little interesting tidbits here with Eggman, although again, a lot of that is less “let’s do a new take on Eggman” and more “let’s do a marketable movie with Eggman in it, which requires us to explain some stuff.” Like him straight up just being a normal human from Earth, with none of the confusion present in the current “two worlds” canon of the games. Or him apparently being an orphan who was bullied in school, and who trusts machines more than other humans. It’s a safe way to depict the character in a Hollywood movie, but I thought it worked

The way they got to his nickname was kind of funny, though. Like, obviously they didn’t put Jim Carrey in a fat suit, and thank god for that. So instead of mocking his weight, the nickname is derived from the egg-shaped robots he uses. Which made sense, I guess. It at least felt logical for this incarnation of Sonic, who had annoyingly been calling Tom “Donut Lord” the whole movie, to make up the nickname “Eggman.” (Said robots, by the way, were a weak point of the movie to me. They just didn’t have that Eggman whimsy and felt very safe and very Hollywood. Honestly, though, if they had just made Robotnik’s ship grey and slapped some hazard stripes on it, it’d probably be fine.)

As a whole, I thought the humor of the movie was... okay. Sonic had a lot of good moments thanks to Schwartz’s great performance, as did Robotnik. There were just so many weird lines, like James Marsden telling Robotnik that he was breast fed, or the agonizingly long child trafficking joke with Sonic in the duffel bag. Stuff like that

The action was great, though. They definitely owe a lot to the Quicksilver scene in that one X-men movie (I forget the one), but they had a lot of fun with Sonic’s powers and it felt extremely true to the character. Seeing him do one of his Smash poses during the San Francisco fight was great. The action scenes were an absolute delight

And then the ending. Oh, that ending

So, I had already heard that Tails shows up in the stinger before I saw the film. And when I heard that, I expected it to be like, the classic Tails origin story. Maybe Sonic would return to his planet, and run into this precocious kid who decides to follow him around... but no! Not at all! Tails is already the Tails we know and love. He’s already an inventor, he’s already tracking down Sonic. I’m shocked that Sonic actually stayed with Tom instead of running off to have new adventures, but hopefully this is a sign that more characters will be brought into the fray if they make a sequel

And boy, they better make that damn sequel. This movie had a great opening weekend and a positive reception. They have no excuse not to. GIVE US SONIC AND TAILS GOING ON AN ADVENTURE

Other stray thoughts

Holy shit they put Sanic in the movie

The Sega logo animation meant that Kiryu from Yakuza was in this movie for a few seconds

The pixel art credits sequence, which featured both the Sonic 2 special stage and Get Blue Spheres as well as the Eggman logo screens from the Studiopolis Zone boss, was cute

The Saturn logo could be seen on the diagram of the other habitable planets

Robotnik had a label for “Badniks” on his circuit breaker. I wonder if the drones in the movie are intended to be Badniks, or if we’ll see actual ones if a sequel gets made

Also, was it implied that Robotnik committed war crimes for the US government

One of the government guys who I think only got one line was played by Garry Chalk and as such sounded exactly like Optimus Primal

I can’t tell if Sonic getting a red race car bed was an intentional shout out to the Archie comics or if it’s just a coincidence, but I loved it

A dude about my age wearing a Sonic Mania t-shirt literally stood up and clutched his head in shock when Tails showed up

After the movie a very excited kid got his mom to take his photo with the Sonic display in the lobby. Afterwards he was so excited that he flossed

I can’t believe they talked about Olive Garden so much

To Do List:

What's up, my Herd of Nerds?

Anyway, as you can tell, tomorrow is AU Sunday. But, because it's one after a 'my input' one, it's a follower input AU day! Yay!

So, send me your AUs and I'll put all of em in a hat to pick one randomly. The winner is picked and posted and we'll all try and make headcanons about your AU.

Done:

Zombie Apocalypse AU :: (https://hermitcraftheadcanons.tumblr.com/post/618314308275863552/zombie-apocalypse-au-masterpost)

Pirate AU ::

Currently In The Raffle:

-Toy Story AU.

-Ever After High/Descendants/Vaguely 'nex gen priness' AU.

-Eldritch Horror AU :: Or if that's a bit too out there, a more normal Monster AU. I don't care, but in my heart, I know Cleo is some kind of eldritch horror. Zombie is far too easy.

-Eldritch Monster AU! Hermits are all Lovecraftian horrors who all individually decided that they wanted to pretend to be normal and are all trying to hide their otherworldliness. I also feel like Mumbo or X or someone as the one actually "normal" player on the server would work well. Most hermits don't know that everyone else isn't normal either, but some find out about friends maybe.

-Rabid Debate Club AU :: Random weird au idea where it's basic hs/uni au but like two of them try to start a debate club, then invite some friends just so there's enough people; cut to like two months later, it's all the hermits just fighting over whether or not pineapple should go on pizza or not lol it isn't very good i'm sorry but ya know rabid debate club AU.

-Animal/shapeshifting AU :: (Suggested Twice.) Every hermit can shapeshift into one token animal. (If it's something like "dog," they can only turn into one breed and color of dog, EXAMPLE: doc can shift into a black sable belgian malinois, but not anything else.)

-Wedding Planners AU :: Hermits work in various unrelated businesses such as a bakery, flower shop, etc., but see each other semi-often bc they're semi-often called upon to work together by another hermit's wedding planning business (obvs if you couldn't tell i know absolutely nothing abt wedding planning & businesses n shit lol but it's the /concept/ of it yannknow)

-Avatar: The Last Air Bender AU. (Suggested Thrice.)

-Fusion AU :: (Also suggested by Anon.) (Suggested Twice.) What if Hermits could fuse with each other? (Viva and Jumbo fused into MumboJumbo.)

-SCP AU :: The hermits have spooky powers and are kept locked up bc of it (or they have to keep the world safe from monsters and cursed objects!)

-RPG AU :: I feel like someone already thought of that but I am just wondering about it lately :p -🍋

-Adventure Time AU :: The hermits live in a post-apocalyptic world and the Lich (bad guy) is making everything decay. They need to gather all the gems (belt colours) to unlock the Enchiridion (a book) and have one wish each granted from Prismo (multiverse wish granting dude) before the Lich does. Only 4 elements can enter the multiverse: Slime (The Lich & Jevin), Redstone (Tango or Mumbo?), Ice (Stress), and Dirt (Grian, much to his dismay). Only the elementals can see the book. Grian's the protagonist with his sidekick Scar. He originally started collecting the belts because they were shiny but eventually decided to read the book and find out what they were for when Scar said he didn't see it. Doc, False, and Iskall are major obstacles because they don't believe the book exists.</p>

-Total Drama Island AU.

-Magical Girl AU :: Zedaph's the lead magical girl and rounds up a bunch of other magical girl hermits.

-Pokeman AU :: What are the Hermit's roles in this world? Who's the Champion, Elite Four. Are they scientists? Trainers? Do they compete in competitions, do they specialize in types? Who's everyone's starter? Has anyone encountered any legendaries?

-College AU

-High School AU

-Wizard101 AU :: I (🦊) recently got this AU idea and recently started going off somewhere with it in terms of writing, but, like, Hermitcraft meets Wizard101. Tons and tons of magical shenanigans, monster hunting, and idk what else.

-Magic AU

-My Hero Academia AU :: Headcanons can be about which hermits would have what quirks and occupations based on them.

-So I'm writing an AU where there's a second game of Demise but 5 years later. So far the first 2 hermits (Joe and Xisuma) have died, and their dead forms are cracked with an arrow in his chest (Xisuma) and cyborg (Joe). So since it's Saturday, I'm looking for what some skins would look for.

-City AU :: I mean this is really just a normal everyday AU.

-School AU.

-Terraria-Minecraft Fusion AU :: Who chooses what class? what events do each hermit prefer? how to they deal with the world infections? preferred biomes? Favourite NPCS? It has potentiallllll.

-70s/80s Teen Horror AU :: (like Stranger Things, Carreie, The Lost Boys, Halloween, etc.) -🦇

-Demi-God AU :: Sort of like percy jackson (everyone being the children of different gods from all different cultures.)

-Supernatural AU

-Marching Band AU :: Xisuma is the band major and all the show music is the remixes. I need to come up with some ideas for uniforms. Outfits and flags for the colorguard too.

-Different Eras AU :: (Suggested Twice.) All the hermits are from different time periods or eras. Like Wels is from the mediveal/dark era, Mumbo is from 1890-1920's, Iskall is from 2030, TFC is from 2020(?), Cleo is from 2130, etc!!! Like the mobs/animals became feused with humans, is when the mob players came from.

-Star Trek AU :: Like maybe they could be on one ship and each have different roles like engineers or doctors? I don’t know if this has been suggested but hope you enjoy! - 🐦

-House Mates AU :: ApartmentAU but scaled down?

-Atlantis AU :: (Could be merged with Mermaid AU???)

-Fighting Game AU :: Some influences would be Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Ultra Instinct, that kind of stuff.

-Time loop AU :: The hermits each have to deal with their own time loop.

(All those above in red are from our community's lovely Anons!)

-Superhero/superpower AU :: They each have a unique power/powerset that is in some way connected to their personality. (ie Mumbo *could* control electricity because of his love of redstone) Some Hermits may even choose to be "villains" and prank their other servermates. If you need power ideas, I've got a couple. (12u3ie)

-Daycare AU :: The recap peeps are the caretakers :P (-@tikauniverse.)

-Incredibly Long Cross Country Train Ride AU :: they all are in the same train car, telling stories of where they’re going, backstories.)

-Stuck In An Airport AU :: pretty similar to train au but they can be going diff places.

-Doctors AU :: they’re all doctors working at the same hospital.)

-Circus AU (Also suggested by an Anon.) (Suggested Twice.)

-Spy AU (Also suggested by @shadeswiftdraws.) (Suggested Twice.)

-Runaways AU :: The hermits are all teenagers who have run away from home, they all live on the streets until TFC takes them in. Head canons can be about backstories, living on the streets, or when they’re with TFC.

-Criminals and Police Officers AU

(-@lookitsspacekween)

-Dancer AU :: I mean, I already got a list kind of planned out, but headcanons for why specific styles are chosen would be appreciated! :) (usedtobelucythefallenangel)

-Broadway/Musicals Hermits AU :: The hermits are all casts of various musicals and when this newly-built theater opens up they all fight for which musical gets to play in it first (they have a riff-off maybe?) musicals mainly included are Hamilton, BMC, DEH, SiX, Beetlejuice, etc (feel free to add more!) (-@heyitsroby.)

-DnD AU (Also suggested by Anon.) (Suggested twice.)

-Mermaid AU :: In honor of the end of Mermay

-Space exploration AU :: There could be different ships, command centers, aliens.... Maybe someone could even get stranded/crash on a new planet? Who knows, could be fun.

-Paranormal/ghost hunter AU :: A couple Hermits could be the ghost hunters going to haunted locations to prove/disprove their hauntedness, others could be camera crew, owners of haunted buildings, or even the ghosts themselves.

-Camping/Vacation AU.

-Summer Cottage AU :: They all spend summers/weekends along the same shoreline and do different summer activities together. Outdoor fun and shenanigans!

-Space AU :: like star trek or similar.

-I would say evil clone au but I think that's pretty much the entire Hermitcraft tumblr right now lol. (Suggested twice.)

(-@shadeswiftdraws.)

-Magic AU :: Magic exists and all the hermits have powers. They can also summon a weapon but what that weapon is depends on the hermit. I'm thinking it'll take place in a sort-of Demise 2 in S7 with a big war. So far I've got: Grian - Cloning himself to his different personas (each has a different power). Xisuma - Making barriers, teleporting, and transforming into different mobs. Scar - Making mutant plants & boosting other hermits' attack & health. (-@datsaltyperson.)

-Demon AU :: Something enters the overworld and turns into a supernatural style-demon through Dimentional Distortion. Who gets posessed first, who goes crazy, and who actually kills it? Honestly I think that, if anything, Tango would know how to gank it, for obvious reasons. (-@fireflower-dusk.)

-High Street AU :: Everyone owns a different shop on the same street or some run a shop together (-@violets-arepurple.)

-Cat AU :: Either they're were always cats, or Hels turned everyone, including himself, into a cat, and they have to survive and overcome challenges in the Season 7 world. An example of a challenge would be Cub's a Sand Cat(the cats that always look like kittens no matter how old they are and live in deserts), and everyone's not sure if he can actually swim, so they have to find a way for him to get around without involving water. (-@scp10000.)

-How about a secret AU.. Every hermit has their big secrets and when Grian joined. He doesn't really know anything about those secrets even till season 7. Not many hermits talked to him in S6 anyway.. Mumbo was the closest to him so they would have regular chats For Iskall is mostly business related things Grian wants to know why so he set out on a quest to force the others to at least talk to him so he wouldn't be lonely. (-@babylightstudentbiscuit.)

-Hermit Family AU :: Xisuma is very busy dad but when he isnt busy the kids and younger hermits annoying the hell out of him. Grian once asked to use Xisuma's computer and crashed the whole thing trying to download illegal gamesites and get money off the internet. Mumbo and his trains run through the entire house and Xisuma trips on them daily. (-@gamerutx.)

-College AU!! But they are not students. THEY ARE THE TEACHERS (-@ivi-prism.)

Ones I planned to do anyway but Hermitblr Hivemind and all that:

Battle of The Bands AU: i believe u once mentioned a bands/ battle of the bands au... thats my jam... (Anon.)

❄️ murven

who spends hours putting up lights only to get tangled in them and storm off?Raven. She knows she can set up the most elaborate lighting design with her engineering know-how and can put the rest of the lights on their block to shame but she never gets far enough in untangling the lights to be bothered.

who accidentally eats a whole box of christmas chocolates in one sitting?Murphy. Raven gets the box as a gift at some science banquet and leaves it on the kitchen counter, where Murphy finds it and desperately tries to find a caramel. He goes through the whole box looking for the one chocolate he wants (and doesn’t find it).

who insists on watching the cheesey hallmark christmas movies?Both of them. It’s become a Christmas Eve tradition to watch dumb Hallmark movies and make fun of the characters while throwing popcorn at the screen. It’s one of their favorite parts of Christmas.

who insists on playing nothing but michael buble in the few days running up to christmas?Murphy, not because he particularly likes it, but because he knows it drives Raven insane.

who gets their presents wrapped at the mall so the other cant go snoopingwho insists on making snow angels?Surprisingly, Murphy. He might be the shady one, but even he recognizes the sanctity of Christmas surprises. Raven, on the other hand, does not, and tears the house apart looking for her gift prior to Christmas (but she never finds it).

who put christmas outfits on all the pets?Murphy. He says it’s an homage to the best Christmas movie of all time: Jim Carrey’s live action Grinch movie.

Do they go to family’s or have a quiet day in?Neither of them really has any family, but they do like spending time with their close friends like Clarke, the Blakes, Emori, Monty, and Harper during the holidays.

who insists on wearing matching ugly christmas jumpers?Raven. Harper and Monty do it first, completely unironically and then buy matching sets for Bellamy and Clarke the following year. Raven and Murphy think they look at atrocious, but decide that they can’t be bested in this unofficial couples competition, so they get the most outrageous, over-the-top hideous Christmas sweaters and completely outdo their friends.

Who waits up until midnight to give the other their present?They both stay up late anyway, so the gift exchange starts promptly at midnight.

Who insists on hand-made presents only one year?Raven, because she thinks she can blow Murphy out of the water with her gift (their gift exchange is always at least a little bit of a competition), but she forgets that Murphy is a crazy good chef and he makes them an amazing Christmas dinner.

Who puts mistletoe on every door frame?Murphy puts it up thinking it’s strategic, but Raven just uses it to make Murphy kiss the dogs.

Who gets too drunk at the work christmas party and has to be picked up at 9:15pm?Raven. She went to the party already trashed from drinking with Murphy beforehand and has to leave early.

who gets angry and almost tells kids that santa isnt real?They don’t have kids, but Raven starts screaming it at the dogs and Murphy covers their ears so as not deceive their sense of childhood wonder.

(SEND ME A ✵ + A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU WHO DOES WHAT AT CHRISTMAS!)

Pretty please, would you ship me (BoRhap and Queen)? I’m a girl 😀 It may take me a bit of time to open up and so I come as shy initially, but these are just my trust issues and insecurities kicking in. I love listening to music with Queen, Metallica and Rammstein being my top artists, but I’m not fan of concerts because I don’t like crowds. It may seem strange but I adore pigeons and have some coming to me every day to feed. I daydream a lot m, but don’t mind the hard work at all. Sarcastic...

god i’m finally getting some things out jesus trist on a tross

i also wish i knew more about allen so i could include him in these things but alas i am a dumb

ships below the cut!!!!1!1111

For BoRhap, I ship you with Ben Hardy!

The main reason I chose Ben is because of your music taste (it fucking rocks tbh i love ur music taste), but I also think you have a duality that is far more similar to Ben’s than to any other BoRhap guy.

Ben outwardly seems like a very cookie-cutter masculine type, but just like you, he has his insecurities and moments where he craves being alone/not being overwhelmed by the masses.

I think you two would meet when you’re feeding pigeons!

Hear me out - you’re in the park, early in the morning, seated on a lone bench. It’s a bit foggy, and the occasional stranger strolls by, but none really take notice until a guy in a cutoff and shorts comes jogging by. He slows to a stop when he notices the bag of bird seed in your hand and the flock of pigeons just chilling around you, completely ignoring him while one fed rather calmly from your hand.

You register his presence, but only give him a quick, lopsided smile, assuming he was just stopping to gawk for a moment before moving on like everyone else. But he makes his way to the bench next to you instead, transfixed by the sheer amount of pigeons just waddling around you and briefly flapping their wings angrily at the stocky, broad blonde who’s pulling his earbuds out as he takes a seat.

“Have you, by any chance, seen Ace Ventura: Pet Detective?” he questioned, still breathing a bit heavily from what seemed like a pretty intense jog. He was flushed, very red in the face, but you could see that he was handsome, well-built, and his voice was enchantingly deep.

Green eyes met yours as you looked up from the birds, and you began to put up your guard, biting your lip for a moment before replying in the affirmative. “The one with Jim Carrey? I have. Quite good. Though I prefer The Truman Show more.”

“The Truman Show?” The strange man next to you mulled over it for a moment, then chuckled once as he nodded. “That’s a good one too. But I was asking because it seems like you should have been the star of that movie instead, considering... all this,” he observed, gesturing towards the pigeons.

“Oh, me?” you reiterated, nervously smiling and sitting the bag down between the two of you as you looked out to the birds. “Not a chance. These little babes only like me for my food, if I’m honest.”

Watching the way one pigeon nonchalantly landed next to you and settled in, only ruffling its feathers a bit and not pecking angrily for food that didn’t exist, Ben nodded, completely unconvinced. Then, he looked down to the bag, pursing his lips. “D’you mind if I....”

When he trailed off, still looking at the bag, you giggled softly and nodded, pushing it towards him gently and retracting your hand shyly when he reached out for the bag. Wordlessly, you watched as he took out some food and held it out for a bird that was in front of him. It regarded him warily, only taking the food when he finally dropped it on the ground.

Sending you a knowing look, the blonde straightened back up and swiped his hands together, wiping off the excess food and letting the other birds flock in for the scraps. “Uh huh. It’s definitely the food,” he deadpanned, making you blush lightly and look down at your lap as he called you out on your excessive modesty.

“Off day?” you suggested weakly, but that only made him roll his eyes playfully, and you sighed in defeat. “Alright, you got me, mate.”

“You can call me Ben, if you’d like,” he offered, and you chewed on the inside of your lip as you looked up to see his green eyes still watching you inquisitively, the wondrous look in them absolutely captivating to you. “What should I call you?”

“Y/N,” you murmured, fiddling with your hands in your lap as the bird next to you cooed quietly, distracting you for a moment. And when Ben shifted a bit, moving to tuck in an earbud that had fallen out of his pocket, the bird ruffled and flew off. You watched it go, and Ben’s eyes never left yours, the dreamy, far off look that passed through your eyes having only piqued his interest in you.

“I’ve never seen you around here before. Not a big neighborhood, feel like we would have ran into each other sooner or later, and I’d remember if I saw a pretty face like yours.” You blushed even more at the fact that he was interested in getting to know you/flirting, which simultaneously set off slight alarms and wedding bells in your head at the same time, utterly confusing you. But you composed yourself as best as you could, trying not to show on your face how conflicted you were. “Are you new around here?”

“Yes, just moved into the flat complex east of here, across the street from that corner store that always has the cat sleeping in the window.” You smiled as you recalled the image of the sleeping cat, how it always swatted at the birds that flew by the window.

“The orange cat?” Ben asked, suddenly seeming excited, and you furrowed your eyebrows as you nodded, both of you saying the cat’s name at the same time.

“Jean Grey!”

“My god, I think we live in the same complex! Now we really have no excuse not to know each other,” Ben laughed, and your heart started racing as you realized what avenues this opened. The gears were whirring behind Ben’s eyes, and that simultaneously excited and terrified you. But maybe it wouldn’t be that bad, you thought as you looked into the fit young blonde’s eyes.

It wasn’t. After some convincing on both your part and Ben’s part, you actually went out with him a few times. You found out he was an actor, and he had a prospective role in the area (thankfully) that he couldn’t tell you about until he’d for sure been cast, but he kept telling you how much you were going to love it when he saw your Spotify playlists abundant with Queen.

By the time Ben had definitely landed the role as Roger, you had already agreed to be his girlfriend. He was charming, attentive, protective, and read you very easily. So, he knew when you were off in your own world, or when large groups of people made you uneasy, and he was able to easily shift the situation into something closer to ideal, if not perfect.

And he was a damn good cuddler. That alone was enough to tempt you to say yes.

He wanted to surprise you with his role as Roger, so he refused to tell you until it was time for the first day of table reading - the only hint you had to go off of was his incessant drumming/absences for lessons.

Of course, it would be hard to hide much from you past the table read, as he’d be reading the script in your presence quite a bit as he usually spent inordinate amounts of time with you, watching you feed pigeons on your balcony.

So when he dragged you to the upper end of London on an early Monday morning, making you take the day off work, you were bubbling over with anticipation. All kinds of dreams of what this could possibly be could never prepare you for the absolute shock when you walked into the building and saw the sign on the door that read “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY”

“So... what d’you think?” Ben asked, noticing the mind-blown expression on your face as you stared at the sign. You were so shocked, in fact, you didn’t even hear him at first, taking a few moments to even register than he’d spoke.

Looking over to him, you slowly broke out into a huge smile, jumping on him with a hug and squealing quietly. “You’ve got to be fucking joking? This is the part you’ve been hiding from me? I heard that there would be a movie about Queen in the works, but God, I never expected...” Trailing off, you stared at him in amazement.

Ben wrapped you up in his arms easily, picking you up off the ground for a moment and kissing the side of your head before letting you back down, but keeping you in his embrace as he rocked back and forth with you. “They’ve picked me to be the drummer, Roger. I get to meet him sometime this week. I’m pretty stoked, if I’m going to be honest.”

“God, I’m so stoked for you!” you agreed excitedly, taking his face in your hands and pressing a quick congratulatory kiss to his lips. “Queen is such an iconic band, I can’t believe you get the chance to work on this project! Might I say, I’m quite jealous of you.”

“Don’t be too jealous, you’re not the one that’ll have to wear a long ass wig to play the part,” he reminded you, and you swooned openly at the thought, making him frown playfully. “Hey, you don’t like my hair now?”

“Oh, shut up, you know I love it,” you dismissed quickly, grinning as you wrapped your arm around his waist, starting to walk in with him. “I just.... send me lots of selfies with the wigs on. For science, I swear. Nothing else.”

“For science? You’re full of it, love.”

And for Queen, I ship you with John Deacon!

Uh, two sarcastic queens together? Hell yes.

You and John Deacon were made to be together. John’s gentle, non-abrasive demeanor pairs well with your shyness and tendencies towards introversion. He is a homebody just like you, and craves isolation over big crowd settings in almost all situations.

For this reason, I think you would have met Deacon through Brian. Brian seemed like he was a very grounded, introverted guy when you first met him, so you quickly befriended him and realized upon doing so that there was an extroverted side to him that was often overwhelming for you. He didn’t mind crowds too much, so when you tried to turn down a party at Fred’s in favor of studying, Brian basically forced you to go, not understanding your aversion.

So that’s how you ended up on a fire escape outside Brian, Roger, and Freddie’s apartment, leaning forward against the cool metal and wishing you hadn’t agreed to stay over on the promise that Brian would sleep on the floor and you’d get his bed. It was late, and you were contemplating going home as you stared at a pigeon the floor below you, perched on the metal and only moving every so often when the breeze nudged it sideways.

You were so focused on the bird, you barely heard the window slide open, but a surprised ‘Oh’ from a stranger lulled you out of your daydreams as you looked back to find a long-haired brunette man you recognized as the new bass player peeking out at you.

“No vacancies,” you teased, laughing when he flushed a bit and apologized. “I’m just joking. I don’t mind if you come out here.”

Crawling out of the window carefully, the unfamiliar man joined you on the fire escape, sitting on the steps opposite you as you turned around to face him, seeing partial recognition light up on his exceptionally young face.

“You’re Brian’s friend, Y/N, right?” When you nodded, he smiled a bit, holding out his hand and shaking yours firmly when it you took it. “I’m John Deacon. Brian was just trying to find you to introduce us, said he was afraid you’d hit your social quota for the night already.”

“That man knows me too well,” you laughed, mainly to yourself, and you looked out towards the city for a moment before glancing back at John, who was playing with his hands quietly, small callouses evident on the pads of his fingers. Furrowing your eyebrows, you were suddenly curious. “Why are you out here?”

“Afraid I’ve hit my social quota as well,” he chuckled, ducking his head a bit before looking up at you. “M’not great with crowds.”

“That makes two of us.” A small grin spread across your face, making Deacon grin back as he bashfully dropped his gaze to his hands again. “So, John Deacon, if you’re not great with crowds, why’d you come tonight?”

“Roger dragged me here.” You made a noise of sympathy as you recognized the situation as being painfully similar to your own. “He thinks I should be more outgoing and chaotic if I’m going to fit in the band better.”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t worry too much about what Roger thinks. He doesn’t do much of it, anyways,” you remarked sarcastically, earning a snort out of the brunette opposite you, and the genuine smile on both of your faces signaled the start of a long friendship that would effortlessly transition into more.

Deacon was remarkably good at making the slow-burn transition from friends to lovers as comfortable as possible for you. First, it started out with heads on shoulders, leaning against each other, and then he’d let you rest your legs across his when you were lounging on the couch with him.

Then, there were innocent cuddling moments, turned into extended cuddle sessions, which turned into moments spend on Deacon’s lap while the boys worked in the studio, all sharing knowing looks about how aloof and oblivious you were to the clear partial feelings you had for one another.

So, when John suddenly sprang the question on you one late night at the studio, it didn’t seem so sudden at all. You were curled up against his chest on the couch in the engineer’s booth, listening to Freddie go over his vocals for what seemed like the millionth time, and your eyelids were getting heavy.

He could feel your heart rate slowing, your breathing softening as you slowly drifted in and out of consciousness, and the peaceful, dreamlike state that you were in had his heart swelling so much that he couldn’t stop himself before he asked.

“Y/N, would you like to be my girlfriend?”

Of course you reacted, but not in the way that people usually react when they get asked out. To any of the men inside of the recording area, it could have just looked like John had mentioned that you need milk back at your flat since you’d drank it all, the way you smiled lazily and wrapped your arms around his neck.

“Yeah. I’d like that... Can we go home soon so I can cuddle my boyfriend?”

Deacon laughed at that, running a hand over the back of your head and nodding when you glanced up at him sleepily. “Yes, we can go home soon. Wouldn’t rather be anywhere else.”

oops that one was kINDAa short OHW ELL

Sonic The Hedgehog Film Review (2020) - Everything you need to know

Sonic the Hedgehog is a 2020 action-adventure comedy movie based on the online game franchise published by using Sega. The movie is directed by Jeff Fowler in his function directorial debut and written by means of Pat Casey and Josh Miller. Development for a movie commenced within the 1990s, however did no longer go past the making plans stage till Sony Pictures received the film rights in 2013. After Sony put the task in turnaround, Paramount Pictures obtained it in 2017. The majority of the cast signed on by way of August 2018, and predominant filming befell between September and October that year in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. Following the negative reaction to the primary trailer in 2019, the movie's release became not on time through three months to redesign Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog premiered at the Paramount Theatre on January 25th of 2020, and changed into theatrically released in the United States on February 14th of 2020. Critics praised the performances, Sonic's design, and its faithfulness to the source material, but criticised its plot and perceived lack of originality. The movie set the report for the most important starting weekend for a video game movie inside the United States and Canada. It grossed $306 million worldwide, turning into the second highest-grossing movie of 2020, even as also turning into the highest-grossing online game variation of all time within the US field office.Sonic, an out of world blue hedgehog who can move at supersonic speeds, finds himself in trouble after after a tribe of echidnas are after him for his electricity. His guardian, Longclaw the Owl, offers him a bag of earrings that may create portals to other planets, the use of one to ship him to Earth at the same time as she protects him from the echidnas, and also offers Sonic a map to a planet packed with mushrooms to apply if he finds trouble on Earth. A decade later later, Sonic enjoys a mystery life close to the town of Green Hills, Montana, but is finding it difficult to make friends. He looks up to the neighbourhood sheriff (Tom) and his veterinarian wife (Maddie) unaware the couple are planning to relocate to San Francisco soon. One night, Sonic turns into dissatisfied over his loneliness when gambling baseball through himself, and runs at supersonic pace as a result, inadvertently triggering an electromagnetic pulse that knocks out strength across the Pacific Northwest. Roboticist and clinical genius Doctor Robotnik is enlisted with the aid of the United States Department of defense to discover the source of the outage. Robotnik manages to track Sonic, who hides within the Wachowskis' shed. Tom discovers Sonic and by chance shoots him with a tranquilliser, inflicting him to ship his bag of jewellery thru a portal to San Francisco. Tom reluctantly concurs to assist Sonic before Robotnik arrives on the Wachowskis' residence and the two flee. As the pair keep far away from Robotnik, who labels the sheriff a terrorist, they slowly bond, with with him mastering about Sonic's desire for a actual friend. Robotnik comes throughout one in all Sonic's quills, coming across the strength in it has the ability to gasoline his robots, and turns into captivated with capturing Sonic. As he tracks them down, Tom reveals his previous plans to depart Green Hills, which Sonic disapproves of. Shortly after defeating a robot despatched via Robotnik, an explosion injures Sonic. While Tom explains approximately their scenario to Maddie, Sonic gets a new pair of shoes from Maddie's niece. The group soon head to the roof of the Transamerica Pyramid, in which Sonic's bag of rings landed, and get better them. Robotnik finally arrives in a hovercraft and attacks them, forcing Sonic to use a teleport hoop to send Tom and Maddie lower back to Green Hills. Sonic flees from Robotnik, who makes use of the energy of Sonic's quill to healthy his pace. The two have interaction in a chase across the world, in the long run returning to Green Hills. Robotnik incapacitates Sonic, however Tom intervenes, allowing Sonic to regain his energy and reclaim his lost energy. Overcoming Robotnik, Sonic defeats him via sending him to the mushroom planet. Following the recent incident, Tom and Maddie decide to stay in Green Hills and lets Sonic live with them. Meanwhile, Robotnik, nevertheless in possession of Sonic's quill and having misplaced his sanity, starts off evolved plotting his revenge. On Earth, Tails, a twin-tailed fox from Sonic's world, emerges with a quest to find Sonic.Read more about the Sonic the Hedgehog Post credit scene hereParents want to recognize that Sonic the Hedgehog is a kid-focused action/adventure film starring the enduring Sega online game character. The well-known blue hedgehog is also an alien with unique powers that put him in threat in his world. While he is being pursued, his mama bird is shot with an arrow (she appears OK). For Sonic's safety, she pushes him via a portal to Earth with a warning that he must hide and stay at the run. Sonic never feels abandoned, however he is lonely. And the movie's messages, which include they are, revolve round the importance of companionship. Language is usually mild ("hell"); it's more jokes about "butts" and "farts" than any actual swearing. One scene may additionally enhance eyebrows: Sonic and human hero Tom (James Marsden) forestall at a roadside bar/restaurant in which they get into a brawl (in most cases punches), and Tom is seen ingesting a beer and driving soon afterward, without incident. In general, the movie's violence is cartoonishly explosive, like an unrealistic video game: It's in general drones taking pictures fireballs, lasers, and bullets. There are some moments of peril, but the target audience is by no means in doubt that everybody may be OK -- even hysterically evil villain Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey).

When the primary trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog turned into released in 2019, fans had been horrified by way of CGI Sonic’s beady tiny eyes and human like teeth — an uncanny valley horror. He had a face that became asking a variety of a mother to love, not to mention moviegoers. So Paramount pushed returned the film’s launch date and taken in animator Tyson Hesse, artwork director for Sonic Mania Adventures, to guide the redesign. Not most effective did the animators pass above and past in fixing Sonic to look more like his online game origins, however they may’ve stored the film. The new Sonic is so adorable that it nearly makes up for a quite conventional plot and a human forged that play the jobs of “heroic” and “bad” so straight, they may be extras in The Good Place. To run faraway from villains after his amazing velocity power, Sonic (voiced by means of Ben Schwartz) leaves his planet thru magical portal jewellery to discover himself on Earth in the small city of Green Hills. We find out that his fast-speaking personality is essentially a end result of 10 years of excessive isolation, having to hide from the townspeople and maintain himself entertained through speak me to himself. After inflicting an strength surge that shuts down the city’s power, the authorities sends Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) to investigate. Sonic companions up with good-hearted sheriff Tom (James Marsden), and the 2 broaden a bromance the way guys are prescribed to in movies, through a road experience and a bar fight. Ultimately, Sonic is a children’s movie that recognises it could be kids’ first introduction to the hedgehog, so it makes minimal references to the video game global he comes from and spends extra time alluding to things they may get. Unfortunately, the gags appear a few years too late, at once dating themselves: there are a couple of jokes about Olive Garden’s unlimited pasta. Sonic does the floss dance no longer once, however twice. They make jokes approximately Vin Diesel in The Fast and the Furious. (Actually, this one will possibly stay applicable for as long as they maintain making FF films, which is forever.) The movie shines when it remembers it’s based totally on a video game, and there’s some in reality amusing stuff; like whilst Sonic makes use of his time-preventing special powers or Robotnik’s elaborate “evil-plott” montage that makes you marvel why more films don’t characteristic bad men with choreographed dance sequences. Carrey plays up Robotnik as the caricature villain he is, and it’s a true pleasure to watch him in his element. And — spoilers ahead — the give up credits hint at a sequel presenting Tails and an even extra unhinged Robotnik going full-on Eggman. But whilst maximum of the film takes place in nondescript city-ville (comes in flavours: small metropolis and big concrete buildings ‘n streets), it’s difficult to now not to suppose returned to the luxurious Emerald Hill Zone planet the film showcased for perhaps 30 seconds. I wish it took place there instead. Sonic the Hedgehog ought to have long past from an excellent to a extraordinary film no longer by means of bringing Sonic into the human world, but by bringing audiences into his. Maybe we have to simply be grateful that the film turned into watchable at all. Sonic’s fulfilment hinges on the person being likeable, and the redesigned Sonic is straightforward to love. Get the full review here.

“Sonic the Hedgehog” is the worst type of movie a viewer can watch: it is too inoffensive to be hated and too 'wishy washy' to be enjoyable. You may think that this movie’s unhappy limbo kingdom has some thing to do with the giant and publicised last-minute animation redesign that made titular woodland creature Sonic (voiced by using Ben Schwartz) look greater like Sega’s well-known online game character. You’d be wrong: “Sonic the Hedgehog” is rotten because it, like too many other present day blockbusters, was seemingly made by means of an imaginatively bankrupt innovative committee with extra ideas for jokes than real jokes to tell, and extra cookie-cutter, place-holder talk about the strength of friendship than something (anything) to say about that boilerplate quality. “Sonic the Hedgehog” is a horrific action video game character adaptation and friend comedy. It feels almost completely impersonal, store for on every occasion James Marsden, gambling Sonic’s human companion, attempts to rescue the film through being assured and graceful in the face of an otherwise dire send-the-magical-critter-back-home kiddy fantasy. I hope that everybody involved inside the making of this film got paid nicely and on time. Nobody else has an excuse to see “Sonic the Hedgehog,” in particular now that without difficulty defeated dad and mom can park their kids in front of a pc or TV and allow them to watch some “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” gameplay films on YouTube. Trust me: your kids’ happiness does not depend on them seeing this film. Still, if you must take your children to see “Sonic the Hedgehog,” there are a few things you would possibly need to realise. Sonic, a paranormal critter who can run fast, groups up with fine guy/small-metropolis cop Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) to regain the whats it—on this case, a pouch of gold jewellery that open portals to any vacation spot Sonic can assume of—as a way to assist him to escape goony mad scientist Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey), who desires to dissect Sonic. So Tom and Sonic cross on a cross-country street journey from fictional Green Hills to San Francisco, due to the fact that takes place to be the town on Tom’s shirt while he, in a panic, shoots Sonic with a endure tranquilliser, and then Sonic, now greatly surprised on powerful natural world drugs, by accident throw his rings onto a Golden City rooftop. San Francisco also happens to be the metropolis in which Tom desires to flow to, given his absolutely original dream of locating reputation and exhilaration past his quaint hometown. But genuinely, the set-up for “Sonic the Hedgehog” hinges on a endure tranq and some horrific timing. The relaxation of the film’s non-existent sense of urgency is supplied by way of Dr. Robotnik, a hammy antagonist who loves to yell approximately how much smarter and more effective he's compared to anyone else. Dr. Robotnik controls expensive-looking robot drones and has a flimsy waxed moustache that looks like one of these celebration favours you see each third wedding guest carrying on your Facebook friends’ wedding ceremony reception photos. Dr. Robotnik isn't very exciting, but he’s in the “Sonic” video games, so he’s on this film, too. Also, there are some stupid stranger-in-a-strange-land shenanigans involving Sonic’s bucket list, whose bullet points include “tame a wild animal,” “begin a bar fight,” and “make a pleasant friend.” Your child could probably write a better scenario, given a little awareness and the right motivation, two features that the makers of “Sonic the Hedgehog” appear to lack. I don’t imply to be unnecessarily harsh, however based on the film I saw, “Sonic the Hedgehog” doesn’t need to exist. Marsden does quite a few heavy lifting simply by reacting to a computer-generated individual whose handiest distinguishing characteristic is his resemblance to a beloved video game man or woman that changed into by no means definitely interesting unto himself. But Marsden can’t keep this movie from a deluge of uninspired chase scenes, dumb plot twists, and disposable pop culture references (wow, he’s doing the floss dance again, terrific). “Sonic the Hedgehog” is best as a hit as the quantity of time you need to spend looking its animated protagonist move on instantly forgettable adventures, and boy, is that unfortunate. If you really want to recognise why you have to skip “Sonic the Hedgehog,” try and watch the film’s trailer, and spot how plenty of Jim Carrey’s aggressively joyless performance you may take. Like Marsden, Carrey does a variety of acting, however not like his co-star, Carrey is in no way as exciting as he's energetic. Watching Carrey in “Sonic the Hedgehog” is like watching a drunk try and jumpstart a celebration that was properly and certainly useless upon his arrival. Unfortunately, Carrey’s arduous efforts most effective make things worse. I don’t recognise that “Sonic the Hedgehog” was ever salvageable, due to the fact ultimately, the whole thing in it, including the best stuff, is depressing.View more first hand reviews at HERE and watch the film for yourself and let us know what your thoughts are.

The Questions a Former Shipper Asked Herself That Helped Her to Leave the Ship

This post was submitted by “anon.”

Hi CO,

Loyal follower here and former shipper you helped jump ship.

I wanted to contribute something that helped me additionally leave the ship. I asked myself questions, e.g.

1) Why would Tony a 40ish UK bar owner travel around the world at any time for a friend? He does not benefit from attending these events and Cait has girlfriends and industry friends like Karolina or Gisella that would benefit more from these networking chances.

2) Why would Tony celebrate holidays with Cait’s friends that she’s known for over 10 years. Why would he befriend her US crew? He must have UK friends to celebrate with.

3) Why are Sam and Cait never seen together? With all these fans and journalists etc. in the know but keeping quiet, nobody slipped up?

4) If Sam and Cait are so private but wanted to hide their relationship, why would they show this OTT behavior at public events?

5) If Sam and Cait are so private why would they trust fans that met them to keep quiet about having seen them together?

6) If Sam and Cait are so private and don’t post personal stuff on social media, then do they banter and post stuff of each other on social media?

7) If Sam and Cait are so private, why would they share with a small group of fans and send them breadcrumbs?

8) Cait worked very hard for her career. Why would she risk her reputation by denying a relationship with Sam by saying she is not single and basically saying she is with a non-celeb in The Times?

9) Why would Cait a strong, outspoken feminist sign a contract that dictates her private life? Would she really let her private life be ruled by the mysterious TPTB?

10) What would the ramifications be for Sam and Cait if they didn’t comply with TPTB rules? They can’t be fired. TPTB would look foolish.

11) Where is the PR for Sam and Mackenzie if it’s just for PR? Where is her MPC involvement? If she was a fake gf, why not choose somebody from the UK and one who hadn’t just shortly before ended another relationship? If they were just friends, why no social media interaction? Why would Sam allow her to be bullied over untrue rumors? Why would Sam all of a sudden travel the world for that friend, spend holidays/vacations with her (and her family) and why would her family and Sam’s friends follow on social media?

12) Why would a relationship between actors who were not even A listers be so important for a merger? What about actors on the other shows? Especially if this relationship could be outed any time because everybody has a smartphone and pics can be taken any time.

13) Who do they think Cait is that she is the only celebrity who needs a PA at every opportunity? Where are all the other stars’ PAs at these events? Why can they handle themselves but Cait can’t? She is not a diva a la Mariah Carrey. It’s super insulting to Cait’s character that they think she is unable to go to events alone and always needs a companion (preferably Sam) or a PA to order around.

All these things didn’t make sense and I didn’t even need information from Purv to come to my conclusion that Sam and Cait are not a couple. I didn’t need Sam being seen with Mackenzie or K’s experience at Tony’s bar.

Personally I think that many use the vilification of Purv as an excuse to not believe in Cait and Tony. But I think that even without Purv, Tony always showing up at private events and business events would have raised questions and people would have come to the conclusion that they are very likely in a relationship.

Anyway, I hope these questions might help some fence-sitters not buy into the ES lies.

contemplatingoutlander responded:

Thanks so much anon for writing these excellent questions! Maybe they will help others to leave the ship or to stay at the “wishful shipping” level. I hope many newbie fans and fence sitters read this.

NOTE: Anon sent two more “asks” to me and asked that they be integrated into her post. Items 12 and 13 came from those “asks,” with minor editing.

“There is a saying that a journey taken by two lasts longer than the one travelled alone.” Cho told him that Seoul believed the Pyeongchang Games “will become a peace Olympics as most valuable guests from the North are going to join many others from all around the world”. “The people have a strong desire to see the North and South move toward peace and reconciliation,” he added. It was a radically different tone from the rhetoric of recent months, which have seen Kim and US President Donald Trump trade personal insults and bellicose threats of war, while Pyongyang has launched missiles capable of reaching the US mainland and carried out its sixth and most powerful nuclear test to date. Seoul has been keen to proclaim the Games in Pyeongchang, just 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of the DMZ, as a “peace Olympics” in the wake of missile and nuclear tests by the North — but it needs Pyongyang to attend to make the description meaningful. If the North agrees, one of the top agenda items will be whether the two Koreas’ sportspeople make joint entrances to the opening and closing ceremonies, as they did for Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and the 2006 Winter Games in Turin. The size and membership of the North Korean delegation and their accommodation — widely expected to be paid for by Seoul — will also be discussed. The group may stay on a cruise ship in Sokcho, about an hour’s drive from the Olympic venue, which would enable their movements to be closely monitored and controlled. With only two winter sports athletes qualified, North Korea is likely to bolster its presence by sending significant numbers of cheerleaders to the Pyeongchang Games, which run from February 9 to 25, analysts say. Hundreds of young, female North Korean cheerleaders have created a buzz at three previous international sporting events in the South. “For North Korea to achieve its desired effects and to attract attention, it will have to dispatch its beauty cheering squad,” said An Chan-Il, a defector-turned-researcher who heads the World Institute for North Korea Studies.
