1: The Izu Peninsula is a group of massifs perched on the Pacific Ocean, with a view of Mt. Fuji and Hakone
2: In the center of the peninsula there's the hot spring Shuzenji
3: Since a long time ago, a railway for the hot-springs has been made
4: And it made it prosper as a tourists attraction
5: About 10km east of Shuzenji, climbing a ridge in the mountains
Pag 3
1: There's the sports park circuit for bicycles
Pag 4
1: Ohh, woah.... it's so huge, teh
Waaaaa this is incredible Rokudai!!
2: A huge pylon!
It looks like an hotel from that anime with the cars
3: It's- it's huge, teh
Where should we run, I don't kow this level!
4: You've never come here, Kinaka-kun?
I... I've ran in races, but I only went as far as Saitama, it's the first time I come here!!
Pag 5
1: This is Shizuoka!!
When we in the car, we even saw Mt. Fuji...!!
2: Th-th-th that's Mt. Fuji, teh!!

There's no need to overdo it, you can retire in the middle
2: So we can retire, too?
Yeah
I'm glad
3: However
4: This training campalso serves as a selection for the six members who will participate in the Inter High
5: Those of you who want to run in the national competition, the Inter High
6: those of you who want to make a name for themselves, those of you who want to contribute to the team, and those of you who have the secret ambition of playing a flashy active role....
Pag 8
1: Run with everything you have!!
Squeeze out beyond your limit!!
This training camp's finishing order...
2: The first

4: So I don't have to count them myself?
I'm glad, it'll be comforting
1000km, so, uhm...?
5: You can check after every lap
How many laps you did
6: And how many laps did the others!!
Pag 14
1: “How many laps the others did”..... that means that you can see your own rank on the eletronic scoreboard!!
You have opponents to fight.... in other words, this is a “race”!!
2: During this training camp
A race of 1000km....””
3: It's not just running, it's about how to reach the goal faster than the other members
4: We're being tested!!
5: No!! Wait, Kinaka- the third years are included too, and including both the second and third years, there's no way we can be in the top six!!
Furuya
6: If it's just running... then isn't this training camp is useless?
7: We're too much at a disadvantage!!
It's too much for us first years!!
Pag 15
1: No.... I don't think we have no chances at all!! At the end Naruko-san talked about “requirements”
I think those might become our breakthrough!!
2: Requirements”!!
3: Breakthrough!? How!?
Well.... somehow- I've been thinking about various things...
See, as expected it's impossible
4: As nexpected, Kinaka-kun is thinking about how to make a breakthrough, teh!!
5: The “requirements” for the training camp that the Sohoku racing team organized to work towards the Inter High....
6: How to run during the training camp is basically up to you
Think for yourself and run
Pag 16
1: But there is one “requirement”
Huh? A requirement, what is it!?
Like they'll give us handicaps?
2: Until now, in mine and Hotshot's personal experience in Sohoku training camp
3: many things were used to bind us and made each of us stronger
4: But we talked about it and decided not to use them this time
Those who want to do it can do it on their own accord
5: Instead of that
6: For the next 15 minutes, discuss with each other and choose a partner
Huh, a partner!?
Pag 17
1: The onw you choose will be your buddy for this training camp!!
3: Buddy!?
4: They a partner... who you'lll... run with?
Among us!?
Can I choose anyone?

This is this training camps “requirements”!!
2: Kinaka-kun!!
3: Rokudai!!
Pag 19
1: I'll say it once again!! Will you run with me, Rokudai!?
Okay!! Yeah, teh!! Kinaka-kun!!
4: The stickers on their helmets!!
5: To make it easy to identify your chosen buddy, stick the same stickers on your helmets
6: Ugh... the two who participated in the qualifiers
Furuya, we can't lose either
Nogami!!
Pag 20
1: Being a pait means that we can protect each other from the wind
That's right
2: And we can cooperate with other pairs, as four people!!
Alright!! Let's settle aqnd run!! No, as six people!!
I have a feeling this is gonna be okay
4: The other first years wioll be a bit of an hindrance
"Scar-" Grian started, hand outstretched towards the trembling man in front of him. "I need you to listen-"
"NO!" Scar retorted. "You need to listen, for once in your fucking life just SHUT UP and let me speak!"
Scar was panting at this point, and appeared to be steeling himself for an argument. Grian, however, just drew back his hand with a heartbroken expression on his face.
"'All alliances from last season are null and void.'" Scar quoted, his smile turning into a vindictive sneer. "'Oh, come with me Mumbo, it'll be so much more fun.' 'You'll be fine, you have Joel.' You couldn't have made it more obvious you didn't want me around if you'd tried."
Grian opened his mouth, closed it, and then opened it again. Scar gave a manic laugh, tears threatening to spill over in his eyes.
"You know, me and Cleo are similar in many ways." Scar began, staring daggers into his- friend? Did Grian deserve that title now?-'s face. "Both pretty good in pvp. Both have pasts we'd rather not discuss. Both of us would do anything for those we care about." The elf took a step closer. "And neither of us take kindly to being betrayed."
Grian gulped, but Scar was still not done with his rant.
"We have different ways of dealing with that betrayal, though, don't we Grian? Surely you saw Cleo hunting BigB down until she was able to take his final life. Surely you must've noticed the suspicious lack of Scars hunting you?"
"Scar, that was all in a different server!" Grian pleaded.
"Oh, I know." Scar said. He started laughing again. At first, it seemed like a laugh of intense anger, but to those who knew him well- as Grian did- it was obviously meant to cover up extreme heartbreak. "All relationships ended, huh? Just tell me the truth. I know you hate me, you don't have to keep hiding it." His voice lowered. "It's okay, really Grian. I would hate me too. I just wish you'd say it and stop dancing around something anybody can see."
"Wha- Scar I don't hate you! I never did, how could I possibly hate you? If you'd just let me explain-" He was cut off by a harsh bark of a laugh from Scar. The man grinned, but there was no joy in his eyes.
"It's my legs that don't work, not my brain, Grian." Scar turned around, and started to move away. "I'm dumb, but I'm not an idiot."
Do I have any clue what this was? No. It obviously takes place post-ll, but I was mainly just writing words as they come to mind. I can see quite a few plot hole and things I'd normally fix, but I honestly can't be bothered today. Here's an example of a not even remotely proofread first draft of mine guys! Hopefully I at least managed to capture some of what my goal was, because I know that if I go back and fix it I'll end up spending 20 minutes trying to fix this and I don't have the time to do that. Feel free to critique it, god knows the perfectionistic editor in me is desperately trying to.
Of the glam sisters ¿who do you think would have better romantic quemistry with izuku midoriya? ¿Glitz or Glam?
Mmm, good question! I'm already digging this!
Glitz:
Considering that she's the more bubbly, silly, and energetic one, she would definitely be more open and enthusiastic with Midoriya about her feelings for him. Glitz would most likely flirt with him when they first meet, making all kinds of sexual advances towards him, but he insists on being her friend and politely ignores her come-ons. Slowly realizing that Midoriya is a true friend and gentleman, always complementing and encouraging her, she quickly fell head over heels for him. When Izuku becomes her boyfriend, Glitz can't help but get all giddy and excited whenever she sees him. Always intensely smiling at him, staring at him unblinkingly for uncomfortablely long periods of time, pulling him in for tight hugs, and calling him cute pet names. She's definitely a love-sick puppy with him.
Glam:
Considering that she's the more serious, aloof, and smart one, it would definitely take her a bit to warm up to Midoriya. Glam would most likely be hostile towards him when they first meet, but he keeps trying with her until at least they're kind of "friendish," where she is now more reserved around him and more calm, and then it would get to a point where feelings she kept bottled up burst and she confesses her feelings for him that feelings he returns, and their relationship would be the same only she's more possessive and affectionate—not openly affectionate, only when they're alone does she allow her walls to come down; she would only be nice to him; hell, she'll be nicer to him than her own sister.
Midoriya is the only one to know Glitz and Glam's full given names, which are Glamantha and Glitzandra.
Both Glitz and Glam treat everyone else so horribly, except for Midoriya. They take him everywhere they go—to parties, clubs, shows, et cetera. They also like to pet him and run their fingers through his bushy, green broccoli hair.
They both lavish him with expensive gifts and practically claw and bite at each other over him. He tells them that there is no need to fight over him because they are both equally good friends to him and that he already has a girlfriend, whose name is Loona, and they're very happy together.
Glitz and Glam: Waaaaa?! 🤯🤯😭😭💔💔
— The end~ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Since this is a post about sisters, I decided to consult my sister about this ask and end it with a joke.

Idea I’ve had rotating in my brain… Zevlor has been building up the courage to at least try to make amends to the tieflings, Halsin planning to help vouch because he’s also familiar to them and can attest to how powerful the enthrallment of the Absolute was given his studies on mind flayers—Zevlor’s old and wise enough to not expect they’ll forgive him, but he at least wants to let the survivors know he’s willing to face his wrongs and let them decide what to make of him.
What nobody expects though, is when they do gather all the tieflings remaining so Zevlor can finally say his piece face-to-face, he’s in the middle of talking to them when it becomes totally apparent the longer he goes on… he’s regressing. Hard. Doesn’t help that some of his people are understandably less willing to be diplomatic about things than others, but suddenly Zevlor just isn’t in the mindset to handle that anymore. And suddenly Halsin has a very tiny baby tiefling to comfort and a lot of explaining to do to the other refugees… not to mention a very impromptu introduction to babey mode Zevlor for his people.
I think about the story idea so much oughghugughhh
Waaaaa oh my goodness ;o;
He wants to make amends or at least start the journey of that- he wants to try and explain himself to those who will listen to his words. He's certainly done more intense things, but, in the sense of battle filed,,,not owning up to your wrongs of how he left his people for dead for what felt like a very compelling offer from the cultist- physical battles can be easier than mental/mutal battles.
The other tieflings are rightfully angry at Zevlor- they stand there, arms folded as they glare at the elder tiefling as he speaks. Zevlor's tail is slowly but surely tucking itself between his legs, ears lowering as his words seem to fumble out the longer he speaks, his eyes continuing to look over to Halsin (who is inching his way closer and closer to the paladin with a worried expression as he realizes what is happening) - it's obvious to anyone who has seen a young tiefling try and speak about naughty actions that Zevlor isn't exactly the elder tiefling that had betrayed them in the cursed lands, at least not right now.
Of course it's very confusing to the group when Halsin sorta puts himself between Zevlor and the most upset tieflings as he scoops up Zevlor- of course there are some who are willing to listen to what Halsin explains to them about itty-bitty Zevlor (those tieflings probably are able to momentarily set aside the anger they have and see that Zevlor really was trying his best to explain to them that he knew he had done a horrible thing. Maybe even be able to slightly coo at the elder as they watch him hide his face in Halsin's chest when they step a bit closer as Halsin is explaining to them how tiny Zevlor can be quite the shy baby xD)
@/khuukhurii had a dream where we were dads and my hormonal ass is all sappy over that like waaaaa I want a kid (I would be a horrible parent) so project: project onto characters that would never work as parents because of the world they live in is a-go.
I think if X and Zero were to have a child X would want to name them Y because. XYZ. But also if the kid goes "why??" ..."Yup! That's your name :3" and Zero would look at him like
every time. Intense fucking death stare. Fallout NPCs when they talk to you.
Idk I'm just spitballin here I'm gay and sappy and tired and gay did you know that I'm gay we can just ignore the ongoing never ending war in the X series shhhh that doesn't exist now they have a baby how baby??? Who knows............ I'm not the person to ask for the logistics of how it works. Reploid baby from OFF THE STREETS!!! Sonic Underground baby!!! It explodes. (No it doesn't)
Have you seen the amphibia finale?? Your thoughts on the show are so interesting! what did you make of it? :-)
Managed to catch it live! Glad you think my thoughts are interesting, I'm autistic as shit and love to talk about anything people throw at me. That being said, my thoughts on how Amphibia ended are... extensive, I guess. I'll keep this under the cut to spare my followers.
I've honestly had a very mixed experience with Amphibia as a whole? I originally was not interested in the show, then got very interested in it, and then the tail end of season 3 kind of... lost me. Maybe not entirely, but it definitely didn't capture my attention the same way the first two seasons did.
A lot of people say that season 1 and a fair bit of season 2 is "filler," but honestly? It felt like it was all (or most of it anyway) important for establishing the cast, the tone, and the overall liveliness of the show. If the majority of the first 2 seasons was episodic adventures with an overarching narrative, then it did an excellent job at delivering on that status quo.
Then, of course, True Colors aimed to change the status quo in a really interesting way. Things were getting more intense, consequences were becoming more tangible- so you'd expect the writing to pick up in the same direction the end of season 2 leaves you on. In some cases, this works. In others, it doesn't.
It's, unfortunately, another example of a show stretching out of its established expectations and then failing to deliver that same new quality consistently. It's trying to be dark and high-stakes and fantastical but it's also trying to be... a TV-Y7 cartoon with episodic antics contained in 20 minute time slots. Namely I don't understand why the finale felt so stretched out when most of it was recruiting different branches of an army that ultimately contributed very little to the final fight.
On that same note... I'm kind of getting really tired of the same formula of "big finale" that a lot of cartoons seem to be following lately. Everything has to end in a big fight with marvel-level theatrics even when it's completely tonally off from the rest of the show. I liked the Darcy fight! I thought Sasha and Anne teaming up to act as co-leaders was a very cool culmination of their dynamic! ...But ultimately it felt like it was all getting away from what was actually important in this show in the first place. Big, dramatic, precure-esque magical girl fights completely take away from the soft fantasy charm that made Amphibia endearing in the first place. It felt like the Plantars suddenly came second to everything else, despite their family unit being so important previously. It felt like Marcy and Sasha existed to fulfill a prophecy rather than as... people? And I enjoyed their development for the most part- but namely, Marcy was almost entirely shelved until she was important for the prophecy.
The Marcy issue could be a totally separate post, actually, thinking about how disappointing the conclusion to her arc was.
Anyway, I'll just make a little list.
Things I enjoyed seeing:
-Yunan and Olivia are canon yaaay gay people #Win
-darcy's fight with sasha felt like a great conclusion to Sasha's arc specifically
-the weird space house with that god taking domino's form was... unexpected... but cool? i mean, it mostly seemed cool as like... a setup for a completely unrelated video game, but it was still cool.
-sasha bi flag <3 we finally did it. sasha finally likes women.
Things I did not enjoy so much:
-The fact that Andrias... lived? and was largely meant to be seen as sympathetic because WAAAAA IVE HURT SO MANY PEOPLE :< SPECIFICALLY MY FRIENDS </3 like man I don't care about you losing your friends because of your own actions. what about all the people who suffered from you Choosing to be a genocidal colonizer. Dude. Marcy destroy this man.
-I think it's boring when characters suffer very intense injuries and there's no repercussions or lasting effects because making a character visibly or noticeably disabled is too confusing of a change for children or whatever but that might just be me being... beyond the age demographic for this cartoon
-the fact that they waited up until the very last episode to even remotely confirm yunan/olivia. was their romance entirely off-screen? when the hell did they realize they like each other? and i actually really Like yulivia so i don't know how they managed to fuck that up so bad
-same principle as before but bi flag on sasha's rearview mirror. you had to wait..? until now........?
-I don't understand how sasha and anne could have possibly drifted apart or why that's supposed to make sense Sorry if that's me not liking a "mature" writing decision i don't think it's realistic though. or even like... lines up with what they established. Weren't we supposed to come to the conclusion at the tail end of season 3 that they were deeply important to each other? yeah, normally people drift apart after middle school, but these are clearly not... normal circumstances. They went to traumaworld together. same thing with marcy like even if you move you have Phones and computers just make a groupchat damn
-I don't understand the moon thing. I know they've been leading up to it since season 1 supposedly but it's just so funny. the final boss is the moon.
-powerpuff calamity trio looked bad. it was cute in like a pretty precure way i guess but my god it was so power of friendship in a show that was supposed to be like... a little less generic.... than that.... i thought....
-the biggest complaint im seeing is the complete saying goodbye to Amphibia thing which.... yeah i'm going to have to agree. I know the show has kind of been leading up to the girls going home and i think THAT is good, they've always been meant to go home, but i don't necessarily think growing up = abandoning all the things that were fantastic or "magical" about your childhood? this is supposed to be the Realistic ending i guess but it's just depressing. very "growing up sucks and you will grow apart from your friends Get used to it." maybe that wasn't the intention but i don't understand how they could just separate everybody like that after All the shit they went through. crazy to me.
anyway that is enough out of me i hope you didn't expect a super glowing review but i think... amphibia may have just not been for me in the way i thought it was. I really enjoyed the writing of this show for the most part so i can appreciate that but it's going to take a while for me to sit with this finale before I can come back to it probably. not the WORST finale i've ever seen but not great either.
... on another note, very excited for the new owl house next week.
waaaaa I can give you some tips that helped me alot with getting better grades SOOO HERE <3
- some teachers actually really care for their students grades and like to help out! dont be too shy to ask if you didn't understand the first time!!
Since I didn't improve at all in history class I asked my teacher if there was a way to pass her class and she gave me the option that whenever we have a new topic that I do intense researching about it and give her the notes for them which she will grade!!
Most teachers will most likely ask you to do a free presentation tho which can be scary for certain people but you can try asking if you could present to them privately instead infront of the class if that happens!! idk maybe your teacher will find solutions with you that suit you!!
- on YouTube there can be alot of tutorials on how to do certain math stuff (and other topics ofc) In my native language (german) we have an amazing teacher that explains almost everything in math for free for so many years!! I bet theres some teachers/people that can explain it just as easy in english/your native language!!!
- another one with teachers but you can ask if you could be able to sit next to someone who is really smart and nice!! it helped alot for a student in my class who is struggling with alot of topics and has been improving ever since!!
- get to know learning methods!! I cant explain how important they are!! It takes some time until you find something that suits your type of learning cause everyone learns differently <3 (as an example blurting method, active recall, promodoro technique (good if you can't focus very long/need alot of breaks, very helpful for me since I have ADD), and many more!!
you can look up these techniques on youtube and even tiktok! (ik that the place where you always want to learn things but it definitely explains them really well!)
- highlight stuff in your notes!!! it works so well for me cause I keep forgetting what is really important and which is semi important for a test
this is all that comes into my mind for now I hope this helps ALSO SORRY THAT IT'S SO LONG HELP
ALSO WHOA I HAVE MY OWN TAG WOOOOO
WOHH TYSM THIS IS SO HELPFULLLL!!!!!! I rlly hope things improve soon, and tysm ahhhh T^T
Hiii! It’s me again, I hope your day is going well <33
I had this thought of closeted perv!Soobin & you’re friends with him and sometimes sleepover with him and the boys and because of how often you sleep over your things will be ranging from clothes to a hairbrush & perfume. He’s too shy to admit this to you because he doesn’t want you to think of him as a weird friend, but he loves your scent & he secretly likes to subtlety sniff you every time you hug him & he feels so gross & dirty for being happy to be able to smell you, but your scent makes him feel comfortable. Like I mentioned earlier you’ve left some of your perfume & he decides to spray it on his fav pillow & then goes on with his day & forgets he even did that. So, imagine his surprise when he’s like on that edge of waking up, but still being really sleepy and he smells your scent on his pillow & he just instantly gets hard & starts humping his pillow and he feels like he’s dreaming because he can smell that you’re there, but it’s just his pillow and baby has the most intense orgasm that leaves him a little shaky & teary eyed after and it felt so good, but he feels so bad for thinking of you while pleasing himself, but he does it again this time with a shirt of yours that you’ve left behind & his face is buried in it and sniffing while he fucks himself with his fingers imagining it’s you fucking him 🥵
waaaaa this is so cute i love perv soobin so much 🥺 and he's definitely the type to get turned on from how you smell :( and he's also definitely a pillow humper :( sleepovers with you would literally drive him insane, especially when you accidentally leave stuff behind. i also think he's a panty stealer and would bury his nose into your panties while he touches himself :(
Oh no! Anything but this!! Now I shall stand here consumed by the awkward air, avoiding making direct eye contact with the singing guests by staring intensively at the cake!!!!!!!!
(But seriously, thank you so much for the wishes waaaaa!!! LOVE COMING YOUR WAY!!)
cripes I don't know how to shut up about Fitzy at all fksajfhksa rewatching S2 I'm like riiiight he's an asshole but it hasn't diminished my love for him at all fkahfdkhakds me screencapping him as he beats the shit out of two kids (18 and 20 iirc not KID kids but you know) wow hun you're so terribly but also terribly hot so uwu
I also forgot ;w; he cries just a bit in this episode. Talking about what happened to his daughter and wife and I remember being ABSOLUTELY unsympathetic before but this time I saw the single tear and I was like ): omg no no no don't cry please I love you waaaaa ;w; I want...to comfort him...
okay pic spam time now
soft
(rest under the cut)
hhhh,,, handsome
HHHHHHH KISS ME????
SCREAMS
H E L L O?!?!
Concern? He just looks really pretty here,,, the messy hair,,,
S...sir...the intensity...
there were...more...but this is enough for now kjdshkjdsaj
DREAMCATCHER will release their 3rd single “Endless Night” on March 11th.
Last September they released their 1st album “The Beginning Of The End” which concluded their “Nightmare Story” concept that they had been showing off up until this point. Their new track “Endless Night” will start their 2nd story and was worked on by guitarist Kuboty (ex. TOTALFAT). The song still showcases their intense rock sound.
Contact with hard rock
DREAMCATCHER’s music has very strong hard rock and heavy metal elements. Do you guys listen to this kind of music in your day-to-day lives?
Siyeon: I love that hard band sound. I think ONE OK ROCK is the best in particular. When they held a concert in Korea I bought a ticket and went to see them by myself. They really make you scream “WAAAAA!” and wave your arms in the air. Thanks to them I sweat a lot too (laugh). ONE OK ROCK is really popular in Korea too. Because they have an intense sound.
JiU: Since the beginning, I’ve always liked the mood that acoustic songs give off, but since joining DREAMCATCHER I’ve wanted to experience more intense rock. So I started by watching videos of BABYMETAL and I’ll never forget how surprised I was. I was shocked, they were so…fresh. I thought it’d be great to be cool like them.
Dami: I didn’t really specialize much in metal, but I’ve probably listened to a lot of rock bands. Even though you can say ‘rock’ in a word, aren’t there also ballad and hip-hop elements that can make more intense rock? So I can easily listen to those things.
Yoohyeon: I don’t really listen to much rock or metal. However, I do listen to WaT a lot. I like Koike Teppei. But WaT has a nice tight band sound, so they’re easy to listen to.
Gahyeon: Well, I suppose I like Day6. They’re a group with a band style that’s unique in K-POP.
SuA: Day6 has gotten popular among the youth in Korea.
Are the youth in Korea listening to rock in the first place? Because there are a lot of R&B and EDM elements in K-POP.
Siyeon: I think there are a lot of people that listen to it. Anime has gotten really big there. “NARUTO” and other anime songs and soundtracks are mostly rock. Personally, when I listen to anime songs I feel a little nostalgic.
Having a concert with a band someday
In Japan “hard rock & heavy metal” is a genre that has a pretty consistent fan base. Some of them have probably never listened to K-POP. How do you want to show the appeal of DREAMCATCHER to those people?
JiU: For people that don’t know us, I’d like for them to listen to “PIRI” first. That’s because “PIRI” is addictive and the hook gets stuck in your head. Even when we perform it abroad, everyone simultaneously starts singing it loudly. So I think “PIRI” is the best introduction to DREAMCATCHER because it really brings a sense of unity.
SuA: I recommend “Mayday”! We made a special video clip for this song. We recruited people who had experience in a band and they performed together with the members. The live session in the studio was completely different than how it usually is and the intensity was amazing! You should be able to see us scream-singing in the video.
Normally DREAMCATCHER doesn’t perform with a band?
SuA: We performed with a band set at a rock festival once. Aside from that, there’s not many other times. If I could have a wish granted, I would like to have a band style solo concert.
Gahyeon: Yeah, that’s a really big goal of ours.
Memories from tour abroad
DREAMCATCHER had a world tour and went to places like Europe and America. Did anything unexpected happen while you were traveling through different countries?
JiU: During the first day of our second European tour in London, I got really impatient because I couldn’t hear my voice in my in-ear monitor. When you’re on stage and you can’t hear your voice, it makes it very difficult to sing. Unfortunately, we had to delay the show by an hour even though our fans were waiting outside in the cold rain…
Dami: And even after we started the show, the condition of the monitor was still bad.
JiU: I was really anxious about it at the time, but somehow with willpower I got over it.
SuA: When I look back, getting through those troubles brought the members closer together and gave me the confidence to fight through problems.
Siyeon: Something really touching happened during our recent American tour. We have a ballad called “Polaris”. When we sang that song our fans put star shaped stickers over their cellphone lights and shined them at us. It was a romantic scene, because the meaning of our song is the North Star. I REALLY thought I was going to start crying.
Moved by fans
Yoohyeon: Also, one of the most regretful things is that our member Handong wasn’t able to participate in the European or American tours. So our fans brought life-sized cutouts of Handong to the venues.
Dami: I was really surprised by that. Our fans’ feelings are amazing. So we brought the life-sized Handong cutouts up on stage.
Which country did that?
Gahyeon: Several countries. That’s because fans from different countries prepared their own life-sized cutouts. So each place had a different Handong. The sizes were different as well. I was touched that they did this by hand…
SuA: Also, the characteristics of fans varied from country to country as well. There were a lot of female fans in Europe. In Helsinki, Finland the ratio of female to male was like 8:2. In Korea the ratio is closer to 5:5.
JiU: I think it’s about 5:5 in Japan too.
What kind of characteristics do Japanese fans have?
JiU: They’re SO polite. For example, in other countries when we have a hi-touch event the fans are like “Yaaay!” smiling brightly and then abruptly try to hi-touch. In Japan, our fans bow first and then will hi-touch. We have mutual respect with our fans and I think that’s ideal.
Yoohyeon: When a show starts and we start singing on stage, they look at us very seriously. I wonder if that’s a unique trait to Japanese fans.
Siyeon: Surely. Their reactions are also really great. Like they’re moved by what we say on stage.
DREAMCATCHER’s “real sound”
You will be releasing your new single “Endless Night” on March 11th.
Siyeon: This is our first work since the release of our album “The Beginning Of The End” last year. It closed out our “Nightmare” story concept. In short, this single is the beginning of a new story. The specific concept of this story is still a secret, so I’ll leave it up to your imaginations. Please look forward to it.
Kuboty, former TOTALFAT member, offered the title track “Endless Night” to you all. Is this your first time having a Japanese composer?
Siyeon: No, we also have “My way ~Kono Michi no Saki e~” (from our album). So we’ve worked with Japanese people before.
Yoohyeon: But, this will be our first time for a single.
JiU: When I first heard the song, I was like “This is intense”. Our sound has been heavy and hard from the beginning, but this seemed to go even further.
Dami: Yeah, that’s true. It gives a feeling of DREAMCATCHER’s “real sound”.
The best as usual
I think a main point is that the lyrics are in Japanese. In a previous interview with you guys you stated, “We’re still shaky at Japanese pronunciation, so kindly watch over us”, do you think you have grown since then?
Gahyeon: Mochiron (of course)! Isn’t it obvious?!
Siyeon: We’re studying Japanese and thanks to work we’ve been given more chances to use it. When we come to events in Japan we’re able to speak more with our fans.
SuA: All of the members should have gotten better since before. I want to show how much we’ve grown.
Speaking of which, what is the latest Japanese that you’ve memorized?
JiU: “Doushite” (why?). “Doushite ~kimi wo suki ni natte shimattan darou?” (Why did I fall in love with you) is a phrase in Tohoshinki (DBSK)’s song. It won’t get out of my head. The meaning is great, but I simply just like how it sounds.
Yoohyeon: For me it’s “yareyare……” (omg…). I started watching “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K./ 斉木楠雄のΨ難” on Netflix and the main character says “yareyare…” a lot. It got me completely (laugh).
Siyeon: For me, it’s “ANKEETO” (questionnaire). I took questionnaires from everyone during our fanmeetings. Asked things like, “What is your favorite DREAMCATCHER song?”. So, I memorized the Japanese for questionnaire.
ANKEETO isn’t Japanese by nature, isn’t it French?
Siyeon: Eh! Really!? (laughs) Well, in Korean it is often called seolmunjosa.
SuA: The latest thing I’ve memorized is, “tabemashita ka? (have you eaten?)” For some reason I always get “tabetakatta (I wanted to eat)” and “tabemashita ka? (have you eaten?)” mixed up. I’m always like which is it which is it, I never know…. I’ve been able to use them correctly recently (laugh).
Gahyeon: Since it’s winter right now, I’ve recently learned the word “yuki (snow)”. My birthday is in February, so I love winter and snow.
Dami: While listening to Gahyeon speak just now, I learned the new word “Fuyu (winter)”. I’m proud I could put it to use (laugh).
Indeed (laugh). Please share a message for your fans.
Gahyeon: Our Japanese fans! We can’t wait to see you again. We’ll prepare extra hard to show you guys a great version of ourselves. Aishiteru yooo (I love you)!
JiU: We received SO MUCH power from you guys last time we were in Japan. After that, we were able to return to Korea and work energetically. We’ll continue doing our best, so please look after us!
Comment from Kuboty
Thoughts on “Endless Night”
The theme of this song is to fight against and overcome your difficulties. The message is to continue down a path you believe in. This theme also applied to me as I had left a band I had worked with for 15 years in order to continue on my own and restart as a musician. It’s DREAMCATCHER’s song but it overlaps with my own feelings. It ended up being a powerful song in the end.
Things you thought about while working on this song
I thought that a live groove was necessary to bring out more of DREAMCATCHER’s heavy sound and worldview. So we got coldrain’s drummer Katsuma to participate as the band has played on stages throughout the world. With that, I was able to get the sound that I wanted. I am grateful to Katsuma who participated despite his busy schedule.
A Message to the members of DREAMCATCHER
I’m rooting for DREAMCATCHER from the bottom of my heart so that they can have even more activities. I’d like to perform on the same stage as them one day. Keep working hard!

Here's the "how Karkat adopted Equius and Horuss" ! It's the last part of Karkat's adoptions (for now because I'm planning something with the Strilondes).
So. Context. The Zahhak family is composed of Darkleer, Horuss and Equius. Darkleer's a mechanic (also archery world champion or something. People are always very surprised when they discover this) and Horuss, while being a multi-talented guy, likes to build robots. Equius is in the archery club (he's not the best, but he can shoot). He's also trying to build robots, but it usually doesn't go very well.
So Darkleer has a car workshop (that's how it's called, right ?). That should be a very useless detail. It's not. Karkat had an habit to come hide in the workshop and watch them work when everything is too much (that's pretty often : Karkat's emotions are something intense). Nobody would even think to check if he's here. Not for a particular reason : it's just that the Zahhaks, despite being *vague gestures to all of them* are very unnoticeable (spoilers it's because they're Void. There's no aspects in Humanstuck but the "unnoticeable" part of the Void always fascinated me). Some of the Trolls (urgh it bothers me to say trolls since it's humanstuck but what would I call them ?) don't even know that Darkleer has a car workshop. So yeah that's a great place to hide.
For years Karkat will hide in their workshop when he wants some calm. Despite said years of watching them working, he still doesn't even knows how to fix a watch. It's a talent (but like, the opposite of that). Sometimes he will talk a little to Equius or Horuss. Equius and him have built this weird friendship like they almost never talk to each other but they, like, understand ? Kinda. It's complicated (or extremely simple).
Not gonna lie the first reason why Karkat adopted Equius is because Nepeta asked him to.
Went like this : "... NEP, THAT'S NOT HOW MY" ADOPTION THING" AS YOU CALL IT, WORKS." ":33 purrlease ?" "... WHY AM I SO WEAK. OKAY, FINE. "
But the thing is, he adopted Equius as, like, a cousin. Not a sibling for sure, but... He's in the family now. Honestly this adoption is always kinda, not a joke but a "you only adopted him because Nepeta asked you to" like they laugh about it but it's not a mean laugh...
Horuss, honestly, is a mystery. Karkat always tried to include him on conversations or activities (because seriously If this guy stops moving he becomes invisible) and defended him when someone said he was gross and... Yeah nobody knows exactly when Karkat adopted him... Not even those two. If you ask to Karkat and Horuss when they adopted each other they'll squint their eyes and go "hmmm... It waaaaas... After Damara and Aradia for sure... But..." yeah they don't even remember. But they don't really care, because well, Horuss is Karkat's brother, why should he worry about how long he has been ? (Honestly here Karkat is closer to Horuss than Equius. I'd like to add more, but I'm not inspired. Maybe later...)
Hi! I've been wanting to send this request for a while, but I can't choose the character... So I'll let you choose instead! I'd like a scenario or headcanons for a member of La Squadra being "saved" by someone from the Zeppeli family who has a bubble ripple similar to Caesar's. He was just pretending to be off guard so his target would come to him instead, but the Zeppeli person legit thought he was in danger and helped! How will the stand user react to that and what will he think of the ripple?
Helloooooooo :3 Waaaaa this was such a wonderful request ** I’ve a GIANT soft spot for the Zeppeli family and the Ripple, hhhhh :,) Anddd, since I had free choice, I chose Prosciutto. Eheh :3 Here we go, hope you’ll like it!!
Prosciutto is “saved” by a member of the Zeppeli family who’s a hamon user
(Under the cut for length!)
Even who wasn’t born in Naples knew the name of the Zeppeli family. Once a powerful and rich noble family, now a fallen family mostly dismembered all around Italy and various countries, mostly France and USA. Even so, their name was still pronounced with respect and every Zeppeli was treated with courtesy and, from the old people, with almost deference. It was said around that the Zeppeli family had a sort of mysterious power. Someone said they could do miracles, that they could heal and even walk on water. Someone watched them with awe, as they were a sort of superheroes, someone with suspect, as they were a threat. That was why most members of the family abandoned their surname to pick up another one, being it their partner’s one or their mother’s. It was easier, this way, all in all. They knew they were Zeppeli and this was enough.
Prosciutto too had always heard stories about the Zeppeli family, since his early childhood. His father sometimes told him about that one time when a Zeppeli saved him, when he was in a really troubled situation; he always said that the man seemed to emanate light, that there was something, a sort of energy all around him that made him shiver and have goosebumps. It was like being in front of some kind of pure energy, but it wasn’t a bad energy: it was warm and brilliant, like sunlight. Prosciutto had always been fascinated by this kind of stories and, when he was a child, it was even a sort of game among kids: a group was formed by the Zeppelis and the other by the evil guys. Still, growing up, Prosciutto found those stories more and more unbelievable, or, better, badly interpreted. Maybe the man who saved his father’s life was a stand user and maybe a lot of members of the Zeppeli family were so. Maybe it was a visible stand, as Melone’s Babyface. Or, even more, the Zeppeli family didn’t even exist anymore and that man from the past was just a random kind stand user who thought about doing a good action and saved his father. All in all, he never heard about anyone with Zeppeli as surname, in the long years he was first roaming the streets with his big group of brothers and sisters and then in Passione as hitman.Nothing happened without the organization, and his team in particular, knew it. And in all the many reports he and the team read, not even once that surname popped out.
That was why the last person Prosciutto thought to have to meet was right a member of the Zeppeli family.
The mission wasn’t difficult, he didn’t even need a backup. If he played with smartness, he would have be home in time for dinner. The best way to do so was to lure his target into a fake sense of safeness and glory and then strike back .There was nothing more lethal than having too much confidence, all in all. It hadn’t been so difficult: he took some blows, of course angling himself to get them on non vital points where he would have healed fast, and withdrawing, withdrawing again, more and more, to lure his dumb target right where he wanted to: a cornered point where they would have been trapped and where his Grateful Dead could have worked in total tranquillity. His plan was proceeding perfectly, it was all going as he wanted. The target was gaining more and more confidence, even boldly insulting him. Prosciutto didn’t even flinch, but, oh, he was already savouring the moment when that dumbass would have been just a pile of dry bones. Just a bit more of patience. The perfect spot was, by now, just few meters far…
Prosciutto didn’t take in account someone else’s presence, nor that this someone could at the same time completely screw his plan up and “save” him.
“Hey! Hey, what’s going on?! Leave him alone!” Prosciutto froze, hearing an unknown voice screaming not so far. Oh shit, good, he really needed a civilian right now, when he was about to unleash his stand. Sweet nice, really.
He was about to fake a pained voice and tell them to run away and save their ass when, to his utter stupor, he felt a shiver running down his spine and intense goosebumps, as when you’re near to a great energy. But it wasn’t an evil energy… it was bright, it was full of life, it almost smelled of clear air and those white clouds which seem whipped cream. That energy… it seemed to come directly from the sun.
Prosciutto’s eyes widened, as in his mind his father’s words resurfaced, after a long time. It couldn’t believe it. It couldn’t believe… but it was right as his father said. The shiver, the goosebumps, the feeling to be in front of a great benevolent power, something totally different from a stand power, now he can recognize it. There was no doubt about that stranger’s identity.
“Zeppeli.” he murmured, watching them walking in front of him, a determined gaze in their eyes, as they stared at the hitman’s target, who was studying the new arrived with incredulous and mocking eyes. Not even one of the legendary Squadra Esecuzioni could stop them, what does that civilian think to do? Scream at them to go away? Beg them not to hurt the hitman anymore. Oh, whatever. This just meant that the corpses to make disappear would have been two instead of one.
Before the target could do anything, however, the civilian united their palms in what seemed a prayer gesture. The enemy almost wanted to laugh, as Prosciutto, instead, observed closely. What were they going to do, now?
Prosciutto’s azure eyes widened in surprise when, as they broke the praying position, a trail of bubbles came to life. What the hell?! This was the famous Zeppeli power?! Bubbles?! He wanted to groan in disappointment. And he thought god knows what…
He had to eat back everything, however, when the bubbles spun at very fast speed towards the laughing target, hitting him with an unbelievable strength. The bubbles came in great quantity and they seemed to glow… and not a soap-like glow. Prosciutto widened his eyes, instinctively feeling that those bubbles were coated in the same energy that emanated from the Zeppeli. Ingenious…
His breath almost stopped, as he was completely astonished, when the enemy flew back, landing at least five meters behind. They coughed, wheezing, as surprised as the hitman. What the hell…?!
Well, those bubbles were a pain in the ass, but this wouldn’t have stopped them. They slowly got up, injured but now, oh, definitely mad. They charged for the Zeppeli who, anyway, was more than ready to welcome them. This time they created a barrier made with one lucent layer of soap water. It was like crushing on a gummy wall; the soap barrier resisted, bending, following their movements, ‘till they were engulfed and blocked in the soap. Just now, as a rubber band too stretched, the barrier sprung back, sending flying the target way more than just five meters behind. With a clap of their hands, the soap water barrier vanished, falling on the ground, leaving behind just a nice soap smell.
The unknown Zeppeli peeked at the now unconscious enemy, all sprawled on a couple of trash bins now overturned on the ground. They wrinkled their nose as the putrid smell of trash reached their nostrils.
“Are you fine?” Prosciutto snapped back, hearing them now talking to him. His azure eyes studied them, still in awe. It was like… like a legend, a tale from his childhood was just come to life. He felt a pang of guilt, thinking about how many times he lebelled his father’s words as fake or just silly stories. Well, they weren’t fake and silly stories, as he could see now.
“Uhm- excuse me? Sir? Are you fine?” they asked again, when they didn’t get any answer. Prosciutto quickly nodded, getting up and dusting off his tailored dark blue suit. Luckily, not even a drop of blood stained the luxurious fabric.
“I am- thank you. Even if there wasn’t any need to intervene.” the Zeppeli puffed their cheeks out, outraged. What, they had just saved his ass and this well suited man brushed off their help like this??
“Well, excuse me if I did, but you didn’t seem to have the upper hand, you know.” they replied, acid, making him subtly smirk. Not a legend… just a human being like everyone else, it seemed. With a strange power, but still a human being.
“It was all scene. I had that scum on my hand.- he smirked a bit, amused by how their face was reddening in indignation. -Still… thank you.” he concluded, politely. The Zeppeli blinked a couple of times, surprised, before brushing off it all with a huff that hid a smile.
“I never met a Zeppeli, before.” at those words, his saviour paled and abruptly turned to him, surprised. How…?
“My father talked often about the Zeppeli family. One of them actually saved him, one time, but I thought he invented everything. Still… here you are. What’s your name?” reading the surprise in their face, Prosciutto quickly explained how and why he knew so many things. That power… oh, it intrigued him to no end. How could someone have a similar power and not being a stand user? How did it develop? Was it natural? He had heard about some born stand user, but never about a similar power. It was like a stand power but without a stand… as the person themselves was the stand and the stand user at the same time.
“I’m Y/N. Y/N Zeppeli.- they added, pouting a bit. It was silly hide their real surname, by now. They watched him, curious. -And you?”
“My name’s Prosciutto. Now… what kind of power is yours? It’s not a stand power.” Y/N toyed a bit with their fingers, before answering, with a sigh. ‘Till now he had been honest and, well… it wouldn’t have hurt anyone if they said how their power was called…
“It’s called the Ripple. It’s… a form of energy use that my family treasures since generations. By now, the Zeppeli is the family with the most Ripple users.” they explained, choosing wisely their words. Prosciutto nodded, while discreetly checking the enemy, to be sure they’d not get up anymore.
“It seems to be an élite ability.” he observed, intrigued. This Ripple… learning it would have been fantastic. A stand power without having to call out the stand? Amazing.
“Uhm, well, in fact everyone can produce a small Ripple, but just someone, through practice and training, can actually use the Ripple to heal and fight, as the Zeppeli family does. You can say we, well… are naturally prone to be Ripple users.” they replied, still carefully selecting their words. Prosciutto was absolutely amazed. This power… incredible and beautiful at the same time. Ferocious but delicate, a power that could evidently hurt but also heal, hearing their words… as the sun, all in all. Their power really was like the sun, like his father always said.
And he wanted to know more about it, about the Ripple. Even… even try to learn how to use it, if he would resulted suited for it, why not. He didn’t feel like this since long, long time. For once he was… excited about something. The Ripple was attracting him like a magnet. For once… for once he wanted to be involved in something beautiful and linked to life. No one to kill or torture for the Boss… something for himself. Something positive.
“I’d like to know more about the Ripple… and you. What about continue this conversation in front of a coffee?” he proposed, with his best half smile. Y/N blushed, frowning a little. Well… a coffee wasn’t something bad, all in all, right…?
“Hm… fine. A coffee. Tomorrow, 2 p.m., at Rinaldi. Don’t be late.” they almost ordered, gruffy, before withdrawing, with a last look at the still unconscious man, and then turning around and quickly walking away, to hide the blush. Prosciutto stared at their back, still feeling a sensation of awe and marvel in his heart. The Ripple… oh, that evening really revealed itself full of surprises.
He called out Grateful Dead, sending it to finish the target, without even watching as his stand concluded the job. His mind was already thinking about the day after, when he would have seen again that talented Zeppeli… Y/N. Oh, he wouldn’t forget such a name.
Had lunch at Wendys – terrible bathroom, great food. Checked in at Inn afterwards, but did a check of the Stone Pony Summer Stage to see how it looked. Chilled at the room until a little before 5PM.
Was dropped off and got in line. At the time, it had almost completely circled around the whole area (building and outdoor stage). Doors opened a little before 6 because the line soon went all the way around TWICE. Talked with the guys and ladies in line and made friends with them. There were folks as Danny Sexbang, Arina, and Daniella. Got in around 615-ish. Got water and waited over an hour in line for the merch table.
A ‘burgie’ chant started up at one point. Lots of awesome music played – Rush, Queen, etc.
There was a chopper circling around and many of us joked that Dan and Arin would make an entrance from it. Cheers always happened when someone came on-stage, one point tossing water into the audience.
Got shirt and poster and left my drawings at the table. Then hit the bathroom. By this time it was 740-ish and the screen suddenly pulled up the Wii-U main menu. A voice came on and started to hype the crowd that the show will be starting a few minutes later. By this time, the sun was setting and nearly gone.
Show started around 8 with Vernon coming on-stage to hype the crowd. He notes that this was the biggest Game Grumps Live ever – 4 thousand fans. To prep everyone, a fan – Chris – is brought up from the audience to play Super Mario Bros world 1-1 blindfolded. Chaos ensues, but Chris ended up beating it after two game overs and on the last life of attempt 3.
Afterwards, Vernon joked that he was out there stalling for time due to Arin pooping and joked about making an attempt of standup comedy. Before he leaves, he gives some homework to everyone: make a new friend at the show – it’s easy. He also tells everyone to be kind and tells everyone to get loud and do the theme song.
V: Hey, I’m grump.
Us: I’M NOT SO GRUMP! AND WE’RE THE GAME GRUMPS!
Coming out to music (Pour Some Sugar On Me) Arin and Dan ate up the applause. Dan was extra-hyped due to the show not only being the first outdoor show, but also in his birth state of New Jersey. “Welcome Home” chants ensue. There’s also a joke from Dan about how Arin would make cracks at live shows about the place they’re doing it, but Arin refused to do one due to fears of being beat up by Jersey folks.
Game time – Mario Party 10! Dan was Yoshi and Arin was Peach. The crowd was split into two sides – side one was Player 3, Waluigi and side two, my side, was Player 4, Toad. We were given chants to shout out (“Wa-Lu-Igi!”/”Go Toad! Go Toad!”)
Danny: (after giving each team their chants) I’m drunk with power!
To compensate for Player 3 and 4’s rolls, Arin would do that. When Dan told the crowd to boo Arin when he rolled wrong, the crowd started to boo anyway.
Arin: Don’t boo yet!
Dan: Your Jersey hate is like vitamins(?) to me!
For Mini-games, someone to represent for each player team would come up onstage to play alongside Dan and Arin. Mini-game 1 had Jonathon for team Waluigi and Devon for Team Toad. When asked for something to get their respected teams hyped up, they said “Waaaaa” and “We’re the video game boys” (Us: We’re the ones who win!) The game was a memory-esq game, which was gonna be bad for Dan (because of the weed he smoked in the 90’s killing his memory) and Arin (because he’s “an idiot”, in his words). The game was intense with Jonathon winning. This was when Dan noticed that, for some odd reason, Waluigi had ‘boob physics’.
Mini-game two came soon with Marcus (wearing a Dream Daddy T-shirt) and Kirsten (wearing the sexy Sonic costume) for Team Waluigi and Team toad respectively. The question asked, by Arin, was which sandwich is the favorite – Dan jokingly said that was the stupidest question ever asked… then asked “same question” for the other player (something similar happened later) and it was Tuna Melt VS BLT. We were also asked to do a giant Golf Clap during the mini-game shenanigans.
The post-Golf clap comment from Dan: You have given Daddy the ASRM tingles.
Daddy Chants ensued. Dan would do another “Daddy” comment shortly afterwards – “So many stars for Daddy”.
When it was time for the third Mini-game of the night, Dan and Arin noticed some cool stuff in the crowd – A “Bienvenue Power Bottoms” sign and a “Burgie” paper craft being held up. Player 3 and Player 4 were Divan and Chris, who was dressed like Danny Sexbang, and their question was to say something to badmouth the opposing team. Divan’s was “Boo, Toad, you suck!” while Chris was “This is why you weren’t in Smash!” Burn comments ensue. Mini-game turned out to be a three on one battle… everyone vs Arin.
Dan: It’s New Jersey VS Arin!
Arin eventually won that game and during and after the game, there was a “Fuck You, Arin” chant from everyone. Dan “OK! OK! Hang on! Hang on! Hang on! Don’t get me wrong… I love it…,” but he asked if they should do “Heck you, Arin” but decided nope and let the crowd continue. He then joked about how the folks on the boardwalk were probably wondering what the hell’s going on at the show.
Mini-game four was with Erid and a tall guy named Roger. Dan also noted that his dad, Avi, was in the audience. I began to chant “Avi” and pretty soon a large chant for “AVI” started. Team Toad/Roger won the mini game.
Mini-game five was Bowser related with a lot of stars up for grabs. Both players were ladies – a female Danny who, like Dan, was Jewish, from Jersey, favorite color was light blue, and loved dinosaurs, and Renee, who had an LED helmet and had apparently been there since 6AM. There were 6AM chants for her. Dan noted that he smelt weed in the audience, which I thought was a stupid thing to go. Dan then picked the wrong mini-game chosen for that round. His reasoning for the screw up? “I HAVE GIANT THUMBS!” Team Toad won that round again.
Final mini-game was up and it was Sophie and Bethany as players 3 and 4. They were asked to say something to hype their teams. Sophie said “Mycaruba” (a old-school Game Grumps joke) while Bethany’s was “We got this, dude!” Team 3 won and the finally tally was Waluigi/Team 3 victory.
For the last bit of the show was a Q and A with the audience. Ground rules were laid out: No selfies, no hugs, not songs, and you can’t touch Dan’s hair… so Dan touched his hair for us.
Q: Favorite Cartoon Network cartoon?
A: from Dan, it was Aqua team Hunger Force and, since it was aired on CN, Starlight Brigade music video while for Arin, it was “Mighty Magisword”, which he worked on.
Q: Favorite game they got into via Grumps?
A: Dan went with House Party while Arin couldn’t think of one. They hyped the new version that was going to include them as characters coming soon.
Q: for Arin, favorite voice to do around the office?
A: the Grubba voice and the “Ball-sniffing adventure” one.
Q: A request for some more Snipperclips, which they would love to do.
Q: For Arin, it was about the frequency of his pooping and asking the “Yum to Dump” ratio.
A: Arin talked about a incident from eating at Whataburger. He pulled off at an exit and ate a burger from Whataburger. Got back on the interstate… and pulled over at the next exit to do a 2 at that exit’s Whataburger.
I think I’m gonna avoid Whataburger….
Q: Can Claud come back? (I have no idea who Claud was, but they want him to come back. I think they meant “Claudio Sanchez”, who had appeared on Guest Grumps.)
Q: For Arin, favorite 3D Zelda game?
A: first game he said was “A Link Between Worlds”. When asked for a second, he picked “Wind Waker”. Good choice.
Q: A request for more Dog Island and Princef Taaanx.
The next question was right by me and I managed to get two pictures of Vernon, who was out in the crowd getting the questions from the crowd. I thanked Vernon for the second one, which he smiled for. Before the question was asked, there were some “Furry” jokes and Dan went into a long rant about being a Furry in reference to the running gag about him being one. The question was about Starbomb and hopes for new stuff in relation to it. Dan and Arin threw around some possibilities like a boxed set for the CD’s/vinyls.
Q: What’s gonna be the new format for live shows. They have no idea.
Q: An offer to do later framing for CDs/Vinyls/etc.
Q: for Danny, since he and the asker are from Jersey, is it Pork Rolls or Taylor Ham? Dan picked Taylor ham, prompting booos.
Q: the original asker game his question op to his friend, who asked since they looked alike and had similar likes, does Dan know who the doctor was that cloned the two of them?
Dan thinks it was Def Leppard’s lead singer Joe Elliot (?)
The last question: "the band bowling for soup...are they bowling to receive soup or are they bowling on behalf of soup?" Dan thinks they’re bowling on behalf of soup while Arin thinks it’s the former.
To end the show off, Dan notes this show meant a lot for him since it’s in Jersey and the best night. “Danny”/”Jersey” chants. Dan and Arin thanked everyone and left with a message: They don’t care what your race/religion/gender/political stance/etc. is, they love us.
Show ended a little around 950 and I got my ride back to the Inn to chill.
