AN 80 YEAR OLD MYSTERY OF THE LOST 52 PROJECT SOLVED WITH THE FINDING OF THE USS GRAYBACK
AN 80 YEAR OLD MYSTERY OF THE LOST 52 PROJECT SOLVED WITH THE FINDING OF THE USS GRAYBACK
It was the summer of 2019, and a crew of modern explorers known as “the Lost 52 project” led by Tim Taylor, were searching the open seas on a mysterious mission. An almost 80-year mystery is laid to rest right around Veteran’s Day with the discovery of the “USS Grayback” (SS-208), one of the most famous and decorated World War II submarines, that disappeared in 1944 with 80 crewmembers…

______________________________________________________________
TWIN RUNES - FAQ
What exactly is this AU about? Twin Runes is essentially a comedic crossover AU between the universes of Deltarune and Undertale. No fancy nicnacs. Just the characters being their chaotic selves. But there might be some darkness lurking up ahead...
When is the next comic? The comic updates most Sundays at 6:30 PM Central European Time.
Why is this AU called Twin Runes? The name is more or less a play on the typical naming format of most AU's by featuring the "Runes" part. There are no literal Twin Runes. The whole name is more of a stand in for Undertale and Deltarune as parallel worlds. Hence the "Twin" part.
When does Twin Runes take place? This AU takes place between a hypothetical Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of Deltarune. On the Undertale side of things, it takes place post neutral route just as Frisk was about to deliver Undyne's letter to Alphys.
Tumblr media
Is the player a thing in this AU? The player lost control over both human children as soon as Frisk entered the world of Deltarune.
When Chapter 3 and 4 are released, will it affect the story? Any chapters after Chapter 3 won't affect the story in the grand scheme of things. If possible, I might make a reference to Chapter 3, but all in all Twin Runes created a new timeline so to speak.
What's up with Kris' and Frisk's hair? The red bits of their hair is more or less a representation of their souls. That in turn is also why Chara doesn't have that feature. They are soulless. It's a stylistic choice.
What's that thing on Kris' chest? It's a scar they got from tearing out their soul.
Tumblr media
And why do they have weird lines all over their body? Both Kris and Frisk's anatomy resemble that of ball-jointed dolls. They appear just as markings across their bodies. Think of them as elaborate birthmarks. Kris and Frisk are still made of flesh and blood, but are in fact hypermobile. The reason as to why they do is still a little secret :) People here like to refer to these markings as "puppet limbs". You can get a better look at them and the scar in this artwork
Tumblr media
Why does Kris have braces? This is why:
Why is Dark World Frisk green? Frisk changes their main sweater colors with Kris when they enter the Dark World.
Tumblr media
Can other ghosts see Chara? (pre Darkner transformation) No, only Frisk and Kris are able to see Chara.
IS KRIS NOW FRISK'S COUNTERPART OR CHARA'S???? :)
So, was Chara in the locket all along? No, Chara possessed the locket to become a Darkner.
Where are Jevil and Spamton? Are they in Castle Town? The Fun Gang have already fought these two in the previous chapters and added them into their inventory. Outside of that little dream sequence, neither will be making an appearance.
Tumblr media
Is anyone from Undertale Yellow gonna make an apperance? Outside of a tiny cameo from Clover (that has no greater bearing on the story) no one from Undertale Yellow is going to make an appearance.
Is (insert character here) gonna go to the Dark World/underground? With the way the story is going to play out, only the main group will be heading to this new Dark World. The rest of the story will be taking place there.
Is the Group Project miniseries canon to Twin Runes? It was made before Twin Runes was conceived and before I had any idea I would make a series. It is it's own self-contained story. So it is NOT canon to Twin Runes, but You can read it here: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
How did you come up with the idea of Twin Runes? Twin Runes is an offshoot of a separate script I wrote. It's a similar concept but turned on its head. The funny moments in that script made me just continue what now is the start of Twin Runes. I pretty much just wanted to see if I am actually capable of drawing a comic to begin with. So... in a way Twin Runes is my first attempt at a comic ever. If I ever finish Twin Runes, then I know I can tackle turning that mammoth project of a script into a comic too. In the grand scheme of things these two projects are sister series. They have A LOT in common and even share similar plot elements. When Twin Runes is over you will automatically also know certain mysteries of The Other Script.
What is The Other Script? As of this moment I call The Other Script: "Lost in the In-Between". At its core it's an inverse of Twin Runes. I.e. Kris falling into the underground and being aided by Frisk on their quest to return home. The story and jokes are a considerably more grounded than in Twin Runes and so are the characters. Though they do have their moments from time to time. The overall mood of that script is a lot darker in nature and it's a 200+ page passion project of mine.
Am I allowed to make fanart? ABSOLUTELY! You are very welcome to make fanart if you feel like it. Please let me know if you do by tagging me, so I can share it with everyone to see so that you get the appreciation you deserve :)
Can I use the funny faces you draw for memes or for private stuff with friends? That's what they're here for :)
Is there x ship in this comic? The focus of the story is not on shipping. If it's in the game it will very likely be mentioned or brought up, but that's about it.
What pronouns do you go with for the human children? I try to stick as close as possible to the games so I use THEY/THEM FOR ALL OF THEM WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONS.
______________________________________________________________
ABOUT ASKS
Asks will open for 24 hours after a new comic has been released. Your questions will then be answered over the course of the week.
Try not to submit multiple asks. If necessary, just keep everything in one post.
Keep in mind that I receive AL LOT of asks, so not every question can be answered...
Questions containing spoilers will not be answered on principle. Wouldn't be as fun if the surprise was ruined, right?
Before leaving an ask (mostly for everyone who's new), please make sure to read the FAQ section above. A lot of times your question might have been answered already :>
I love memes and dumb jokes as much as the next guy, but try not to spam
It probably goes without saying, but please stay civil. I want to give everyone the respect they deserve, and naturally like to be treated the same way.
Please be mindful about drawing requests. It is understandable if you're eager to see a certain character drawn in my style, but I do not like to be bombarded by requests. The more it happens, the less likely I am to do it. Be kind and ask nicely.
Don't use other people's posts that I reblogged to ask me questions! It has happened before and I do not wish to see this!

REFERENCE SHEETS
The following are ref sheets of characters that don't have established Dark World forms yet (as of writing this comic). The list will be updated as soon as a new character enters the Dark World. Here you will also find references of characters that might appear as surprise cameos, or maybe even completely new faces...

Can you believe it? 20dollarlolita Pattern School Step 2!
Only took me a year and a half. For people who don't remember a year and a half ago, we've started a project about learning to sew from patterns. The eventual goal is to help people become proficient enough at reading patterns to be able to tell what's going on in a pattern with instructions in another language, taking a pattern that doesn't fit and resizing it so that it does, and taking a pattern that isn't technically lolita and make it work in lolita fashion.
Step 1 was to make a non-fitted item from a commercial pattern. There were two goals of step 1: first to ensure that everyone was familiar with notches, grainlines, and other pattern markings; second was to give people experience with selecting fabric and trims to help give a non-lolita pattern a more lolita feeling.
Tumblr media
For step 2, we're modifying a commercial pajama pants pattern into bloomers. In this step, we're going to become familiar with how to prepare a commercial pattern for modification, to compare pattern size to body size and to use your tape measure to judge added fullness, and how to do some basic flat pattern manipulation to add in style ease. Bloomers are a great first manipulation/fitted project due to the loose fit and the fact that, in most lolita applications, the vast majority of it is under your skirt and therefore invisible.
For this specific sample, I'm going to use Gertie's Harlow Pajama Pants pattern for this. I'm doing this because I bought a commercial pattern from Green Store and then promptly lost it, and these pajama pants are a free download. If you are printing the tiled version on your home computer printer, you only need pages 41-52 and 58-71, which will save you about 40 pages of printing.
Tumblr media
I highly recommed doing some research and having a good idea of how long the bloomers you want to make should be, as well as how they are decorated. This is my research board.
You can use any pajama pants pattern that has a casing (elastic or drawstring) at the top, and no zipper. In this case, pants with a looser fit are going to be easier to turn into bloomers. If you like wearing your pants at a certain point on your body, I'd check for pajama pants that are at that waistline. The pants that I'm using are designed to sit at your natural waist, which might be too high for some people.
Tumblr media
Your first step is to assemble and fortify your pattern. If you're printing this on copy paper, it's going to be strong enough, provided you use enough tape when tiling your pattern. If you're using a tissue paper pattern, like the kind you'd buy at the craft store, it helps to fuse some inexpensive interfacing onto the back of the pattern. We're going to work with these patterns a lot, so it's important to make them a little bit stronger.
Tumblr media
Now, you are going to need to go into your pattern instructions and find two important things. The first is your overall seam allowance. In most commercial patterns, this is 5/8 of an inch. Some other patterns might have different seam allowance.
The second is how big your elastic casing at the top will be. In this case, my seam allowance is 5/8" of an inch. Because my hem casing is .25"+1.25" (the amount you turn up plus them amount you turn up the second time), I know that my elastic casing will take up 1.5".
Tumblr media
You're now going to mark on your pattern what the stitching line is. Your pattern has seam allowance included. This is very useful for when you cut out the pattern. However, if we take our pattern measurements with seam allowance, we won't have accurate numbers. So we have to clarify where the seam allowance is.
The first thing that I do (not pictured) is to write how much I'm removing along each line. In this case, I write 5/8" along the side and crotch seams, and "1+1/2" at the top where the casing is. Since we're going to drastically shorten these pants, it doesn't matter what the hem allowance is.
Then, I take my ruler, and I mark my stitching line. I do it in pencil, check that I'm correct, and then go back and re-draw it with a red marker. This helps me make sure that I'm following the correct lines.
Make sure you transfer your notches onto your new stitching line. You can see in the picture above how I'm using the ruler to measure where the notch is going to go.
Tumblr media
The next step, walking the pattern, is a little tricky to explain. Here's a post that goes into it in great detail.
Basically, you're going to overlap the seam lines, to make sure they line up. The only problem with doing this is that both seam lines are curved. So, instead of lining it all up at once, you're going to go about an inch at a time, letting the pattern rotate so that it stays flat on the table. At any given point, you're only going to have an inch or so of the line overlapping, but that's all you need. If you run into notches that don't line up, cross one out and re-draw it so that it matches the other notch.
If this seems really complicated, you don't really need to do that on this project. It just is a good practice to have.
Tumblr media
So you now should have a pattern with all the commercial markings, but where you've drawn the stitching line.
Tumblr media
So now, you're going to put your two pieces together along the outseam. Since this is a pretty straight part of a pajama pant, it shouldn't be too difficult to get them to line up. Remember to overlap them on your stitching line, and not on the edge of the pattern.
We're putting them together so that you can measure them both at the same time. it saves us some math.
Tumblr media
In bloomers, there are three major measurements to take into consideration. You need to know how big you want the leg to be, how big you want the booty to be, and how long you want the leg of the bloomer to be. In addition, you need to make sure that the waist of your pants will be big enough to fit your waist. In most pajama pants patterns, this isn't a problem, but checking it is good practice.
So, in this picture, you can see that I've measured the cuff of the pants. These two pieces together make up one pant leg, so I just need to measure the two pieces to know how big the pant leg will be.
Tumblr media
I then take my tape measure and hold it around my leg at the same size that the pattern is at that point. I just use my eyes and judge if I think that'll be enough room to make my bloomers nice and poofy.
Tumblr media
If your pattern doesn't tell you your hip line (mine didn't), it's usually at the point where the two notches on the crotch curve are. One of the reasons why we're doing this on a commercial pattern is that someone did the work for us and put those notches where they should be.
Now, remember, these two pieces are only half of the pant pattern. When we measure the hips of the pattern, we have to multiply this measurement by 2. Half the hip measurement x 2 is the full hip measurement.
Tumblr media
Once again, hold this out next to your body and make sure that you like how much fullness you need. Remember that, in addition to having extra fullness because bloomers are poofy, you need room to be able to move and sit down. This measure between the size of my body and the size of the pattern looked pretty good to me. I could definitely have gone a little bit bigger.
The pant leg measurement is okay to be a little bit too long. You can always make it shorter. However, feel free to chop about 18" off the bottom of a full length pant leg. This just makes things a little easier.
Tumblr media
Now, we're going to move the two pattern pieces until they're the size we like. If both the hip measurement and the leg measurement are too small, we're going to move both pattern pieces apart. To turn pajama pants into bloomers, this is likely to be the most common adjustment.
Tumblr media
If the hip measurement is pretty okay, but the cuff measurement is too small, you're just going to move the bottom part of the pattern apart.
You'll notice that this is still enlarging the hip measurement a little bit. This is fine for bloomers since the style is for a lot of fullness in that area.
Tumblr media
And if your cuff is the correct size, but your hip measure is too big, you can keep the cuff size the same and move the hip line apart until it's the size you want.
This technique of lining up the pattern pieces, and then moving them until they're the size you want, is the basics of flat patterning. As long as you follow the philosophy of keeping the measurements you like roughly the same, and moving the areas that you don't like until they measure what you need, you can easily resize a pattern without having to re-draw everything.
If you had to spread your pieces apart, tape some paper underneath the gap. This piece of paper should bridge the gap between the two pieces, turning them into one piece. Really quickly double-check that these pieces measure how you want. Then, mark a line in the middle of the paper bridge. Draw your notches onto the cut line. Cut the two pieces apart on that line. You've now made both pieces bigger. Tape another little piece of paper onto the cut edge of each piece, mark out your seam allowance, and cut that off.
Bonus points: swap the position of the pattern pieces, so that the crotch curve is one continuous line. Measure the length of that. Then, hold your tape measure along where the crotch curve of your pants will fit, and make sure that you have clearance there. I'm not going to photograph that, andi t's not super necessary with most pajama patterns.
Tumblr media
Go ahead and cut your pieces out.Even though I'd shortened the pattern, mine were still too long to fit on a 2-yard cut of fabric. Since I knew that my pants were a little long, I just let the end hang off the edge of the fabric.
Here's the really magical part about this. Even though you've resized your pattern, you still have all your seam allowance, notches, grainlines, and your pattern instructions. Since you kept all your pattern markings consistent, you can now follow the instructions that came with your pattern. Go up until it tells you to hem the pants, and then try them on.
Tumblr media
In my case, my pants were way too long to be bloomers. I knew that I wanted to do a casing with a heading, which does use s pretty big hem allowance, but even so, I'd need to shorten them.
Check out your bloomer research board to see how long you want them to be. I wanted some long ones that did the old-school bloomer peek, so I made them on the longer side. I also didn't want them to ride up into my butt when sitting in a wheelchair.
Tumblr media
So, time to fold up the bottoms, add my elastic, and call the basic construction finished.

I looked up on my research board to try to find a good way to decorate these. One of the nice things about bloomers is that you can wear them with a wide variety of coords. This makes them one of those items where you can add some extra lace, and then use that lace in multiple coords. I feel like, since these bloomers are a good way of adding detail in multiple coords, it's a good excuse to add a little bit extra lace. You can see how much of a difference it makes in this picture. It really turns them from baggy shorts into real bloomers. I really recommend sometimes investing in a couple of big purchases of lace. If you have lots of lace on hand, you're more likely to include it in your projects, which can really help push a meh project into proper lolita fashion territory. I have a rule that I don't spend more than $1.50 a yard on lace unless it's really fantastic, and I manage to find things at that point on Aliexpress and sites like Cheeptrims.

Now go on and let them peek out of your favorite skirt. And remember, definitely don't press that skirt before putting this picture in your tutorial.

Personal work for a world building project
Meet the fenstokes! A domestic breed of pet popular for its coloration, disease hardiness, and friendly disposition.
Notes:
The fenstokes are a species of small domestic pet found all across civilized space. Through the centuries it has been selectively bred for its coloration with over 52 recognized distinct breeds. They are most popular as pets within former Truatari territory as a low maintenance and hardy pet for desert planets. Fenstokes also boast religious significance in many of these regions.
HISTORY: Despite its popularity much of the species history was lost following the red sun collapse. What system or ecosystem the fenstokes originally belonged to is completely unknown as related species have yet to be re-identified. What is known is that they became a popular hobby pet among spacefarers during the early stages of colonization. These pioneers selectively bred for sociability and looks among other things. Regions quickly began developing distinct fenstokes that were in high demand for a booming population. Fenstoke fanciers became increasingly common, and with them, conformation shows. Demand drove high prices for elite winners of these tournaments, that subsequently drove even more diversity within the species. This diversity pushed the species further in to the dependence of sentient races.
During its height, an estimated 119 breeds were recognized. One of the most famous fenstokes of all time is a north summit pygmy sunspot named Suzu, who survived the red sun collapse and is living out her senior years under a compassionate caretaker. Other such notable breeds include the mellow baldiva, the vaseneck zaggler, and the majestic lock-neck breeds who were said to be able to knot their own necks, twice!
However, even before the collapse the popularity of fenstokes was beginning to wane in favor of more refined pets such as the ghorlen and huji laten. Fenstokes also became less popular due to the increasing association with the estranged affluent, their inability to survive without being catered to left a bad taste in the mouths of many.
Today fenstokes are a semi-common sight in most wealthier cities and towns. They are not found on any planet in the wild with one exception; Archola. There the wealthier denizens respect the fenstokes and their spacefaring history as a symbol of Omelian religion and regularly provide food, water, and shelter to them. This in turn has become a sort of tourist attraction for wealthy pilgrims and their families.
BIOLOGY: Fenstokes are rather small, averaging just 1ft (0.3m) in length with a similar wingspan. The giant fenstokes clock much larger, at around 3ft (1m) in length from beak to tail. They have a six-part beak that is able to move food towards the gullet. They are slow movers and cannot fly, but they are decent climbers and gliders. Their movement is bat like with back wings and front arms being used to facilitate locomotion. Because of their lack of competitive traits fenstokes rely completely on others to survive. They will eat most foods as an opportunistic omnivore but have a notable preference towards salty street foods.
Reproduction is semi-slow. They give birth to live young that are mostly developed and ready to glide and eat within hours of being born. They will only raise their young for a short period of time before abandoning interest.
DOMESTICATION: The species is naturally non-aggressive and readily social towards sentient creatures. They imprint on those that provide for their needs. Being non-social with their own kind, fenstokes don’t display any aggressive or defensive behaviors towards others and are readily kept together. They can be taught simple tricks and recall.
Although not the smartest or the most graceful, they are notoriously loyal to their owners.

(Garrett Hedlund giggling)
[0:03] Oscar: Are we trained animals?
[0:05] (Translating On-Screen Text to English: Triple Frontier)

[0:07] (On-Screen Text: Charlie Hunnam)
[0:08] (On-Screen Text: Oscar Isaac)
[0:09] (On-Screen Text: Garrett Hedlund)
[0:10] Charlie: Hello SensCritique!
[0:11] Garrett and Oscar: Hello SensCritique!
[0:13] Ben: Bonjour SensCritique.
[0:14] That's French.
[0:15] Charlie: There you go! Wha-cha-cha!
[0:18] (Translating On-Screen Text to English: CAN YOU SUMMARIZE THE FILM?)
[0:20] (Translating On-Screen Text to English: IN ONE SENTENCE)
[0:22] Oscar: See, the thing is one sentence can be veeeeery long...
[0:24] Garrett: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:25] Oscar: So you can put commas!
[0:26] Garrett: Just commas.
[0:27] Ben: A group of ex-Special Forces soldiers...
[0:30] Oscar: come together to... carry out a heist in South America against a narcos traficante.
[0:39] Ben: Turns out, it wasn't that hard.
Charlie: Right?
[0:40] (Ben and Charlie laugh)
[0:41] (Translating On-Screen Text to English: HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THE PROJECT?)
[0:45] Ben: It was a combination of genres: it was strong, compelling, pure action heist story, but so was also a morality tale, and sort of-kinda a parable about military intervention.
[0:57] Charlie: Between the cast and the script, and me being excited for J.C. as a filmmaker, it was a no brainer for me. He was looking at a friend of mine, Garrett Hedlund.
[1:04] Garrett: And he had no idea about that, and got really excited about that. And then I got excited about that. And then Oscar called and said -
[1:10] Oscar: Got excited too.
[1:11] (Garrett laughs)

[1:22] Garrett and Oscar: Inside Llewyn Davis!
[1:23] (Translating On-Screen Text to English: (they both play/star in it))
[1:24] (Garrett and Oscar are in a giggling fit)
[1:27] Charlie: I like The Town a lot, there was Argo, Gone Baby Gone. You know...
[1:31] Ben: There we go.
[1:32] Charlie: Really really really...
[1:33] Ben: Oh wow.
Charlie: Spectacular stuff!
[1:34] Oscar: He's an iconic guy.
[1:36] Garrett: And he's says that! He's got that! He's Llewyn!
[1:38] Oscar: Yeah, yeah.
[1:39] Garrett: And that's iconic.
[1:40] Ben: And I like Charlie as a person.
[1:42] Charlie: Yeah (and then laughs)
[1:43] Ben: So... Hard to pick a favorite!
[1:45] (Charlie laughs and then Ben laughs after)
[1:47] Charlie: I'm not gonna help ya. Come on!
[1:49] (Ben leans towards the camera and continues laughing)
[1:50] Charlie: We're all waiting!
[1:52] Ben: I would say...
[1:54] (Take a shot of water every time Ben and Charlie laugh LOL)
[1:55] Ben: Did I tell you I watched The [Lost] City of Z.
[1:57] Charlie: Oh no you didn't!
[1:58] Ben: Yes, it was quite good! After I haven't seen it initially, and then when I got to know him - I've seen Sons of Anarchy, it's great. That's the thing everybody knows! And I've seen the King Arthur movie too! He's a first class actor.
[2:09] (Translating On-Screen Text to English: WHAT IS YOUR NEXT PROJECT?)
[2:11] (Translating On-Screen Text to English: WE WANT THE EXCLUSIVE)
[2:12] Ben: Wow, that's a tall order.
[2:13] Charlie: (chuckles) Yes, it is!
[2:15[ (Ben chuckles)
Charlie: You don't ask for much, do ya?
[2:16] Garrett: Ed Harris did the adaptation of a book called The Ploughman with myself and Robert Duvall. It's a two-hander, like a 70s deputy outlaw kind of thing.
[2:26] Charlie: I just did a thing - a movie with Justin Kurzel. The next thing that comes out is a film about Ned Kelly. This is the first time on camera that I'm talking about it, and that's all you get.
[2:37] Ben: I did a movie, it doesn't have a title, but with the Gavin O'Connor who is the director, he's the director of The Accountant. Yeah, that'll be out late summer, early fall time.
[2:45] Oscar: I'm also doing a small sort of sci-fi movie. It's called Star Wars Episode 9.
[2:51] Garrett: It's kinda - It's a smaller budget kinda thing.
[2:53] Oscar: Yeah.
[2:54] Garrett: It's very hard in cinema: you know, if it's not a very big budget thing, you know it's a small budget thing. The... the... Space Wars.
[3:02] Oscar: Space Fights?
[3:03] Garrett: Space Fights.
[3:04] Oscar: (chuckles) Yeah.

Video Description:
Le plus beau cast de toutes les interviews SensCritique. Pour la sortie de "Triple Frontière", le nouveau film de J.C Chandor, aujourd'hui sur Netflix, nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam et Garrett Hedlund !
La fiche SensCritique du film : http://bit.ly/2HwvcEG
Disclaimer: None of the videos I transcribe belong to me. They belong to the content creators and the crew behind the videos. Please keep in mind that my transcripts may not be 100% as I am not a professional. I'm just someone who wants to provide video transcripts for people like me to understand and enjoy these videos.
For this video, I focused on the speakers while translating some of the on-screen text from French to English. I used the French captions in the video as a guide for the timestamps. I did also use Google translate for some of the French captions, so I apologize if some are incorrect. For the rest of the transcript I just followed whatever came out of the guys' mouths.
If there are any corrections you would like me to make, let me know in the comment section of the post.
If you like this video or any other videos from SensCritique, please support them by watching their videos on their YouTube channel and/or through other means by them. Also, if you want to support the film, it's on Netflix and apparently the sequel is in the works with Charlie as a main producer. Also, if you'd like, check out the filmography of the cast like Charlie Hunnam, Ben Affleck, Garrett Hedlund, Oscar Isaac, and Pedro Pascal (who's not in this interview but is in Triple Frontier interviews).
Personal Notes: So I got distracted while editing the mera video transcript and found myself back into the Triple Frontier fandom. I haven't been here since 2019 so it's been a hot minute. I transcribed this video because there is a section in the middle that is so funny to me that I almost had to hold my breath transcribing it. Rewatching these interviews really shows the golden retriever personality of Garrett that I didn't fully notice until like a few month ago when I got distracted back into the Triple Frontier and Garrett fandom. The video is funny because it literally cuts Garrett off because he got excited that Charlie was excited and Oscar was excited and -
Anyways, I don't know when I'll finish the mera video I have been working on. I think it's been maybe half a year. When I finally finish it, I'll probably schedule a series of reblogged posts that'll hint to it. In the meantime, I think I did transcribe a Triple Frontier-related video that has Pedro in it so keep an eye on that among other videos.
That's all for now. I'll catch you all in the next post. See ya!

Index of Enhanced Edition Con Videos
I'll maintain this index in a pinned post for easy reference. Click the links to go to the YouTube videos, or click here for a more readable Google Docs table which includes these links plus a tab noting which events I skipped, temporarily or permanently, and why.
2007-11-11, Chicago - J2 Breakfast (00:23:42)
2007-11-11, Chicago - Jensen Solo (00:21:55)
2007-11-11, Chicago - Jared Solo (00:29:44)
2007-11-11, Chicago - J2 Main (00:38:24)
2008-07-27, San Diego Comic Con - SPN Panel (00:50:52)
2008-11-16, Chicago - J2 Breakfast (00:26:16)
2008-11-16, Chicago - Jared Solo (00:26:20)
The main panels from CHICON 2008 are up next. They'll have better video quality (for the most part) than the Breakfast panel from that event.
Thank you to everyone who has shown an interest in these videos. The reblogs and likes all made me very happy, and I especially appreciated the kind comments some of you left in your reblog text and tags. I'm unsure of the proper Tumblr way to respond directly to that in a way that won't annoy people, but I've definitely noticed and appreciated it!
An explanation of this project and my tentative plans for it are listed below the break. A lot of it will be familiar if you've read my earlier posts, but it's more detailed -- and excessively long! There's also some info on how you can help, especially if you have any old videos or audio files that you'd be willing to contribute.
Why Do You Call These "Enhanced Editions"?
The videos I'm using are not my own, but I've spent many hours adding enhancements to them. Credit and links to the original videos are in the video descriptions. These are the typical enhancements you'll see:
I'm upscaling the videos as best I can. It isn't remotely perfect, but it's a little more watchable than the originals. I'm not experienced with this and the videos I'm working with are very low quality by today's standards. They were also recorded under difficult circumstances. Video taking wasn't permitted at most of the earlier cons, so the people who took them did so at the risk of getting kicked out. They couldn't exactly come waltzing in with a tripod, so the videos are shaky, they don't always have a clear view of the stage, and sometimes they cut off at unfortunate moments. They can be frustrating to watch, but we owe these people a debt of gratitude for capturing this footage because otherwise it would have been lost altogether.
The original videos are usually in multiple parts, but I'm editing them together into a single video as cohesively as possible. I may use videos from multiple sources to provide the most complete video possible, and I'll select the ones with the highest video quality available. Sometimes there just aren't a lot out there, though.
I'm adding extra content to help clarify references people make during the panels. The videos I've worked with so far don't take up the full width of a modern video frame, so I've taken advantage of that extra space to display the extra content to the side where it's less obtrusive. There are explanations for obscure references that are way funnier when you understand what they mean, plus episode references to help jog the memory for those of us who haven't rewatched the show a million times. In rare cases where I think it will enhance understanding, I'll insert brief episode clips that highlight what they're talking about.
I'm putting a LOT of time into adding good, color-coded English subtitles that can be turned on and off with YouTube's CC button. These videos can be frustrating to understand because the audience often drowns them out and Jared and Jensen tend to talk at the same time when they're together. I can't always figure everything out, but it's far better than the crazy, auto-generated nonsense that many videos have. The color-coding helps with telling who's saying what: red for Jared, blue for Jensen, green for the general audience, yellow for the current fan at the microphone, and white for other people such as staff.
If there's missing footage that I can't find anywhere, then if I can find a source that seems to have reliable details about what was discussed, I'll add still images with a brief summary and a link to my source in the video description.
What Conventions Do You Plan to Enhance?
I don't want to make grand promises that I'll enhance videos for every old convention, although I definitely love the idea of doing so. How far I go with this will depend on how much sustained interest there is from other people and how much spare time I have myself. My output speed will probably be erratic depending on what's going on in my life at the time.
My general plan was to start with the oldest conventions and work my way forward. For now, I only plan to enhance the panels with Jared and/or Jensen since they're my main interest. I may temporarily skip over conventions that they didn't both attend, but with the intent to go back and fill those in later.
One big constraint will be whether I can find enough videos to work with for a convention, and just how bad the quality is. I've found that some videos are too poor of a quality to upscale, at least with my limited skill. Since these videos are painful to watch in their raw form, I suspect people will be less interested in watching "enhanced" videos that don't include at least some noticeable improvement in visual quality, but please do let me know if I'm wrong. For that reason, I'll probably skip past cons if I can't upscale the videos, at least for now.
As I work through the old conventions, I'll make a good attempt to upscale the available videos. If I don't have much success, then I'll skip over that convention with the hope that someday either the technology or my skills will improve, or maybe a more skilled fan will be able to accomplish more with it. If I make it through all the low-hanging fruit, I might come back to those problematic conventions and just create a cohesive edit with special content and subtitles even if I can't substantially improve the video quality.
These are just my general thoughts right now but the project is young, so my strategy may change.
Can I Help?
If you have any old convention videos or audio files that you're willing to contribute, please message me! For now, let's limit it to content from 2010 or older. Maybe I can use them, maybe I can't, but the more I have to work with, the better chance I have of creating something more complete. If I do use your material, I'll credit you in whatever manner you prefer.
My main source of videos has been the Supernatural Wiki convention pages and the playlists that sil9800 has put together on YouTube. If your videos can be found there, and if the links to them still work, then I've probably found them already. There are a lot of dead or private video links on the Wiki though, and also dead links on various LiveJournal pages linked to from the Wiki, so there were more videos out there at one point. (If you have any videos you don't want me to use for this project, let me know and I'll respect your wishes.) I also run keyword searches on YouTube, but I rarely find anything that I hadn't already found from those other sources.
Even if your video looks terrible, you might just have a missing piece of footage that I couldn't find anywhere else, or your video might upscale more easily than another. If nothing else, I might be able to hear something in the audio that will help me fill in a subtitle I couldn't figure out.
Likewise, audio files can be helpful even without video. If nothing else, they may help me fill in some subtitles. If the audio file is consistently easier to understand than the audio on the videos I'm using, I can also substitute the audio from your file in place of the video's audio. If you have audio of sections of the panels for which no known videos exist, that could also help me fill in those gaps.
If you're watching my enhanced videos with the subtitles turned on, please do let me know if you catch any errors or if you can clearly understand something I marked as [inaudible]. I can't change the videos themselves on YouTube, not without breaking the links and causing confusion, but it's pretty easy to update the subtitles because they're a separate file. It's important to me to try not to put words in their mouths that they might not have said, so I'm trying not to guess based on context. However, there were times when I felt like I should have been able to understand what they said but I just couldn't manage it, and I'm sure someone with different ears may be able to figure out some of the parts I couldn't.

NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Phones Home The intrepid rotorcraft may head skyward again within the next couple of weeks. The 52nd flight of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is now in the official mission logbook as a success. The flight took place back on April 26, but mission controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California lost contact with the helicopter as it descended toward the surface for landing. The Ingenuity team expected the communications dropout because a hill stood between the helicopter’s landing location and the Perseverance rover’s position, blocking communication between the two. The rover acts as a radio relay between the helicopter and mission controllers at JPL. In anticipation of this loss of communications, the Ingenuity team had already developed re-contact plans for when the rover would drive back within range. Contact was re-established June 28 when Perseverance crested the hill and could see Ingenuity again. The goal of Flight 52, a 1,191-foot (363-meter) and 139-second-long flight, was to reposition the helicopter and take images of the Martian surface for the rover’s science team. “The portion of Jezero Crater the rover and helicopter are currently exploring has a lot of rugged terrain, which makes communications dropouts more likely,” said JPL’s Josh Anderson, the Ingenuity team lead. “The team’s goal is to keep Ingenuity ahead of Perseverance, which occasionally involves temporarily pushing beyond communication limits. We’re excited to be back in communications range with Ingenuity and receive confirmation of Flight 52.” Sixty-three days is a long time to wait for the results of a flight, but the data coming in indicates all is well with the first aircraft on another world. If the remainder of Ingenuity’s health checks are equally rosy, the helicopter may fly again within the next couple of weeks. The target for Flight 53 is an interim airfield to the west, from which the team plans to perform another westward flight to a new base of operations near a rocky outcrop the Perseverance team is interested in exploring. More About Ingenuity The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was built by JPL, which also manages the project for NASA Headquarters. It is supported by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley and NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, provided significant flight performance analysis and technical assistance during Ingenuity’s development. AeroVironment Inc., Qualcomm, and SolAero also provided design assistance and major vehicle components. Lockheed Space designed and manufactured the Mars Helicopter Delivery System.

[ . . . ] ARMY FANDOM BREAKDOWN
while main BTS stans refer to themselves as ARMY and are often viewed to stanning all eight members, there are however several solo stans or fans who bias one member more than the others. Y/N has referred to her fans as GRLANDRITES. this comes from a combination of her stage name GRLZILLA + ALEXANDRITE, a gem that is labeled as one of the ugliest in the worlds.
NICKNAMES : uglies, little shits, gems, worms
LIGHTSTICK : ARMY BOMB
GRLANDRITES EMOJI : 🪱
Tumblr media
OO. FAN DEMOGRAPHICS
AGE RANGE : while ARMY come in all ages, your fans are mostly in the age range of early teens to late 30s.
GENDER : when you originally debuted in 2013, bighit had it so you were geared to bring male k-pop stans into the fandoms. and up until around 2016, most of your fans were male. beginning at around 2018 you have gained a plethora of more female and nonbinary / genderqueer fans. this spike has remained constant in recent years from 2020-2022 and while you still have male fans, your female fans have outnumbered them.
REGIONS : you are most popular in east asia, north america, oceania, and europe. your largest fanbases are found in korea, america, japan, england, france, germany, australia, new zealand, and scotland.
OTHER FANDOMS THEY ARE CLOSE TO : ixluvs ( exile her ) revluvs ( red velvet ) moas ( tomorrow by together ) engene ( enhypen ) fearnot ( le sserafim ) carats ( seventeen )
Tumblr media
OO. FAN REPUTATION
ANTISOCIAL : it’s a known fact that you are antisocial. it’s often seen during interviews and when how very rarely you are seen out when in korea. this trait is often shared with a number of your stans as many have voiced that the reason why they stan you is because of how you don’t talk much in interviews, always avoiding talking on red carpets, and how you don’t leave your home.
COMPETITIVE : this is trait shared with the rest of the ARMY fandom. GRLANDRITES are often competitive when it comes to voting for you specifically especially in the BEST FEMALE category. it’s not often you get placed into that category so when you do, your stans work harder than the devil himself to make sure you win.
OBSERVANT : your stans have became observant when BTS started becoming extremely popular. this trait is often used when they watch videos of you during interviews. some of your longer stans mostly have this trait as they can tell by your body language if someone is making you uncomfortable or not.
CREATIVE : GRLANDRITES are probably some of the most creative people you will ever meet. they have been known to create several different types of art works and projects dedicated to you. when GRLHOOD was released, one specific stan did a whole series of painting dedicated to the mixtape. you found out about this and even bought the pieces and they can still be seen hanging up in your apartment today.
HUMOROUS : your stans love making jokes. especially at your expense. they are the ones who started the “disappointed y/n look” meme back in 2018. if you do something meme worthy, they are the first ones to turn it into either a meme or sound on tiktok.
Tumblr media

OO. FAN TRIVIA
GRLANDRITES do not get along with jungkook stans for some reason and can always been seen fighting with them on twitter
their nickname “worm” comes from when some fans asked you if you would still love them even if they were worms and you just replied with “but you guys are already worms, aren’t you?”
GRLANDRITES have a good relationship with exile her’s fandom, IXLUVS.
a notable moment for GRLANDRITES was when one of your long time stans since debut was getting married and her fiancé had invited you. you flew back to korea just to attend the wedding and even sang as a song that you had written just for the couple.
in 2017, a fan bought you a star and named it GRLZILLA. you then bought a star that looked to be right next to yours in 2019 and named it GRLANDRITE.

Yoonmin Run Ep Project: Week 1
Welcome to Week 1 of our fun little Run ep viewing project!
This week, we watched Run ep 53. This was the picnic episode, which was released in 2018 (part 1 of 2). Please go watch it if you have time!
I don’t want this to turn into an episode recap, so I’ll just mention some things that stood out to me. I’d love to hear what you thought of the episode. Feel free to comment or send an ask. You’re also (obviously) more than welcome to write about it on your own blog. Let me know so I can make sure to stop by; I’d love to read it.
First of all, how cute that yoonmin sat together on the drive. They looked so cozy in that front row all by themselves.
Tumblr media
Also…I just have to take a moment to appreciate how adorable Jk looked in those glasses!
Tumblr media
Ok, back to yoonmin! I loved this moment when Yoongi and Jimin shared a laugh.
Tumblr media
And then of course there was the egg-peeling incident. Jimin was so sweet to offer! Yoongi teased him, but we know that was also self-deprecating since he’d already said that he finds peeling eggs difficult.
Tumblr media
For someone who was not directly involved in peeling that egg, Yoongi sure was curious! Cute.
Tumblr media
The first stop was the grocery store:
Tumblr media
That’s when we saw the back-scratching moment. Yoongi had been wearing a black coat, but he flung it low around his arms and lower back briefly:
Tumblr media
Jin lost a game and had to complete the last part of the journey on foot. Jimin volunteered to go with him.
I didn’t catch Yoongi’s reaction until the second time I went back and watched the grocery store portion: start at 16:52 for context; at 17:00, Yoongi waves his hand dismissively and then says, “I won’t stop you,” I assume directed at Jimin.
This is a small detail and I don’t want to speculate too much. But…⚠️ Yoongi seemed a bit disappointed that Jimin was offering to do the punishment with Jin. The guys had been warned that it was an uphill walk. Maybe Yoongi was worried that it would make Jimin tired. Maybe he was already sore from dance practice or performing. ?? I found it interesting that Yoongi had an opinion on what Jimin does. And his comment—“I won’t stop you”—implies to me that Yoongi feels that he has the right to express an opinion on Jimin’s decisions. This seems, to me, to be inconsistent with typical friends and it’s certainly inconsistent with bandmates/co-workers. Would Yoongi have expressed his opinion if it was Joon or Jk who had volunteered? Perhaps not.
Tumblr media
(The text next to Yoongi says, “I won’t stop you if you say you’ll do it!”)
Anyway, Jin and Jimin completed the last leg of the journey on foot, while the others rode in the van. We were treated to this adorable pic:
Tumblr media
Could they possibly be any prettier?!?!
The members riding in the van arrived first. At one point Yoongi walked toward the window and asked, “When are they coming?” I thought he seemed a little distracted until Jimin and Jin arrived.
As Jimin approached, he made a sound like a crow, and Yoongi remarked that the bird sounded like “Park Jimin” (does anyone else love it when Yoongi calls Jimin by his full name?).
Yoongi couldn’t get over the fact that Jimin had been making bird noises and he brought it up again.
Tumblr media
The picnic continues in part 2 (ep 54), but that is a topic for another day!
While watching this episode, I was struck by how often Yoongi and Jimin were together. However, they were pretty subtle. The back scratching is a perfect example. They were in the background and not at the center of the conversation. As you can see from my screenshot, Jimin wasn’t even fully in the shot!
So…those are my thoughts for now. I’d love to hear yours.
Yoonmin Run Ep schedule
Just a note: this is a yoonmin blog, so I’m focusing on them. Of course they also interacted with the other members. Of course Joon looked gorgoeus. Of course Hobi was pure joy. Of course Tae and Jk danced at the grocery store because they were excited about ice cream. Of course it was adorable when Tae fed chicken to Jin during the drive. Please watch the full episode so you can enjoy those moments too! 💜

the general roller coaster of my thoughts today after the 'Paradise Lost: Wonder Woman' project announcement:
me: "I'm terrified, this could go REALLY well or REALLY badly. Paradise Lost is fantastic but it's an insanely difficult story to pull off because it relies so heavily on prior events and a fuckton of pre-established lore...and frankly it should never be a story you go to as the first Wonderfam story in a new universe."
them: "oh it's not a Paradise Lost adaptation, it's a pre-Diana Amazon history/lore story focused on political intrigue on Themiscyra. Also James Gunn specifically tweeted that he liked Wonder Woman Historia."
me: "I WON! EVERYTHING IS GREAT AND SUNSHINE AND ROSES!"
them: "ok but they announced it with that one New 52 panel depicting evil Donna Troy leading the (rapist) Amazons as they kill a bunch of men and called it a 'Game of Thrones-type story'"
me: *head in hands* "and I'm back to being terrified"

Golden Touch
Pairing: Kenny Omega x Reader Prompt: 50. "I'm pregnant." + 52. "Hi baby, you're so tiny. Don't worry though, I'll keep you safe until you're big and strong."
Kenny's excitement over fatherhood had taken you by surprise. Maybe it was your own fears about being a mother projecting onto him, but you had expected more apprehension from him. However, as soon as you uttered the words "I"m pregnant" he had begun planning to make changes. Kenny had shown up for every single doctor's appointment until the two of you learned the sex, and then he set out on a two month little "world tour" of wrestling. You were jealous that he got to go out and travel, but it gave you a good opportunity to get the nursery ready while he was away. Whenever Kenny came back and saw how you had decorated the room, he had been moved to tears. With his momentary goodbye tour out of the way, Kenny was able to dote on you like he wanted to for the duration of your pregnancy.
He promised you that he wouldn't miss a thing, and you believed him. There was something in his eyes whenever he had seen the first ultrasound pictures of your baby that told you he'd do everything in his power to be there. Kenny wanted to be the perfect dad, and while it was very sweet, you were a little stressed about the potential pressure he was putting on himself. You trusted Kenny to do a good job, but you weren't sure how much Kenny trusted himself. It wasn't until the hospital that you realized you had absolutely nothing to worry about. All of Kenny's reading and preparation had amounted to him knowing the trick to being a good father was being present and making sure that the baby knew how much Kenny loved them.
"That's our little guy in there," Kenny said as the two of you stood at the NICU. If it wasn't for Kenny's seemingly level head, you'd have lost your mind when they took the baby away. The baby had been born a little early, and needed to have an extra eye kept on him for a week or so, but the hospital had assured you that things would be okay. Still, you were beyond worried that they were just saying that to placate the two of you. "He's got your little hands."
"I hope he has your hair," you said with a small smile. "Especially since he's gonna look like me."
"What are you talking about? Aside from your tiny hands, this guy is all me," Kenny said. Truthfully, the baby didn't look like either of you yet. He sort of looked like an alien or little old man. It would be another couple of months before you believed he'd actually start taking on the physical attributes of one of you. And when that happened, Kenny would see that the baby looked like you. "He needs a name," you said as you leaned against the glass a little. "Do you still have the list?"
"No, you told me to scrap it like a month ago," Kenny said. You had assumed that the moment you got to hold your baby, you'd know who they were meant to be. However, you hadn't gotten to hold him yet, so you still had no idea. "It's okay though, maybe tomorrow when we come back, you'll get to find out."
"This sucks, I'm sorry you don't know who you are yet man," you said to the baby. He just made a little noise at the sound of your voice, moving his hands towards you. Kenny moved you away from the room and walked you out of the hospital. Things at home didn't feel like home yet, but you knew that once you got to take your baby home, that'd change. Kenny left you downstairs to get ready for bed while he sat up in the nursery. You didn't know why he tortured himself by sitting up there and waiting, but you let him be. You just wanted to go to sleep so you could go back to the hospital with the hope that the doctors would tell you that your son was ready to come home, but you found yourself in a waiting cycle for another few days until Kenny finally got the call.
You didn't know what wearing a suit would do for your newborn baby, but Kenny had been insistent on dressing up for the occasion. The doctor had allowed you to hold the baby first, and you had expected some big universal shift the second he was in your arms, but there was none. You didn't feel anything new that you hadn't been feeling throughout the duration of your pregnancy. It was disappointing in a way, but you were glad to finally be able to hold your baby in your arms. Kenny hovered over you as he watched, just waiting for his turn to hold his son. The moment he touched him, you could tell that your special moment had happened with Kenny.
"Hi baby-," Kenny's voice cracked, "-you're so tiny. Don't worry though, I'll keep you safe until you're big and strong. There's a whole world of people waiting to meet you, and they'll make sure you're always supported. If we're lucky, there won't be a day in your life that you ever feel alone little guy."
"He really needs a name," you said as you placed a hand on Kenny's shoulder. He tilted his head to press a kiss to the back of your hand before glancing up at you. "Got something?"
"Midas," Kenny said quietly. It was different, but you liked it.
"Welcome home, Midas." You liked it sounded, and if the way that tiny eyes met yours was anything to go by, he liked it too. "Looks like he has my eyes."
