"Nobody should have to give up their voices to be heard."

I know this is not my typical themed-post, but hear me out, Ariel was so important to me growing up and still is to this day. I was so disappointed for each thing that came out for the new movie, I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch it just to get angry.... but.....

Just saw the little mermaid and, against all odds, I liked it. The trailers didn't sell the movie for me and I admit I only watched out of curiosity bc I needed to get my mind off of some things.

Halle made me fall in love with Ariel's character all over again. The movie has flaws that really bothered me, but I am surprised a live action has made me feelt he same connection to a character that made me feel so understood and seen when I was little. Halle's Ariel reminded me of the Ariel from the animated series, which showed a lot more of character to Ariel and made her my absolute favorite Disney Princess.

Overall, I am glad this version finally made some people see Ariel for who she always was: a fierce, loyal, open-minded, intelligent and capable woman with big dreams, caged in a world that for others and her peers might be enough and so magical (even for Eric!) but for her, it restrained her because she always felt like she didn't belong. The fact that they had to spell out the whole 'Nobody has to give up her voice to feel heard', I hope it resonated with future generations whenever they watch this new version or the animated one.

I think the movie came out when I needed it the most, and I am so glad it shut me up with her good, or even better, portrayal of Ariel. I swear, she and Eric are the main reason why I wanna rewatch it once it comes out in good quality.

*SPOILERS!!!!*

The scene when she swims up and finally, for the very first time, goes out to the surface.... Chills. And the facial expression Ariel made right before, it resonated with me so much. She's like: I am sick of 'you can't', 'you shouldn't', 'that's not for you', 'get over this stupid, senseless phase', and she swims so fast yet so unsure, but still does it.

It also picked my attention that when Ursula is trying to convice her to make a deal with her, Ariel doesn't mention her father or sisters, unlike the animated version. In this, she knows she shouldn't do this. She knows it is fishy (heh) but still does it bc Ursula uses how she was belittled her whole life to help her made a rushed/angered decision with fatal consequences.

I was so saddened by this version of Triton, though, it feltk like he was so plain and not layered enough. Just portrayed as this 'angry, very controlling parental figure that doesn't listen to his daughter', for moments, I doubted he loved Ariel at all... Maybe because she reminds him of his late wife so much and it's painful? Even Ariel seems quite surprised that her own dad gave his life for her. Sure they still are on good terms in the end, but I felt the animated version was a bit deeper and complicated than this. Still, I kinda like it? For personal reasons I won't get into, Triton and Ariel's relationship (animated) always reminded me of my own father and me. And this version.... kind of does, too, sadly. It just made me empathise with Ariel a whole lot more, how she was forced on some mentality she deemed very generalized and unfair.

I'm sorry for the rant, Ariel and her story is so special to me, and this movie... I felt like it came out in the right moment for me.

If Lloyd/Ninja ships make you uncomfortable you’re perfectly in the right to think that

If you prefer to see Lloyd and Kai as a bromance than a romance that’s totally cool too

But if you declare anyone who ships Lloyd with the ninja are “proshippers” and are disgusting for simply liking an unpopular ship, then there’s a problem

Oh yeah, and spamming the writers with demands to get people to stop shipping Lloyd with anyone is real shitty too

So I was rewatching season 3 while I wait for the rest of Crystalized to come out and missed Sensei G

Throughout most of the season he's always telling Lloyd about the importance of balance and how he shouldn't focus only on his golden power at the expense of his other powers he can unlock

Now in that new trailer he's telling Lloyd to fully embrace his oni side, anyone else feeling more sad at what Garmadon’s become?

We all hold Misako accountable for leaving Lloyd at a boarding school, but why has no one chastised Lou for pretty much doing the same thing to Cole?

Time for a little review of Morgan Elsbeth's arc in TotE. Disclaimer, I have only seen each episode once so far.

Anyway.

I'm a big fan of Morgan, although her character didn't feel properly established and fleshed out before she died (and returned ... somehow). Perfect to work with for a writer, but still, I got REALLY hyped for TotE when the trailer dropped. I didn't expect Star Wars sharing more of her story with us.

There were a lot of things I loved and will think and write about for a long time:

Grievous was so, so scary. Anyone would be traumatized by what happened during the massacre, and haunted by the memory of Grievous in particular.

We got to meet Morgan's mother! Well, just to see her die, but still.

Morgan wanted to arm the people of the Mountain Clan so they could protect themselves, and she was right to be afraid of the threat that was clearly still looming. My heart really broke for Morgan when that girl died.

I love that they gave Morgan an analytical mind. I like to believe she developed that skill further after leaving Dathomir, and before being recruited by Thrawn (off the top of my head I don't know how much time passed there).

When the New Republic arrived on Corvus, what's-his-name said Morgan had locked herself up/barely been seen in a long time. It was such a metaphor to me of Morgan fully losing herself and truly turning into a villain.

In the end, Morgan became a version of what traumatized her, that's as good a villain story as any, really.

This should be at the top of the list, but here we are: DIANA'S VOICE ACTING. AAAHHH. SHE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK, I LOVE HER, I LOVE HER VOICE. <3

BANGER NEW MORGAN OUTFITS (YOUNG MORGAN + THAT RED OUTFIT SHE WORE FOR HER PITCH).

The quality of the animation, omg. OMGGG. I'm so obsessed with how Morgan's face changed as she got older, among so many other things.

Alright. Now let's talk about what I didn't like:

REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE. I was afraid they would make her entire story about revenge, and they did. BIG BIG HUGE missed opportunity of giving her more than that, because you can! I would have liked to see more canoncial character motivation for the sake of Morgan resonating more with the audience. Also, they could have made her long LONG wish for revenge make more sense. Like, yes, I can make sense of it in my own head canon, but I shouldn't have to do that with such a major part of her story.

Um, and I think that's it? I'm THRILLED we got such high-quality new Morgan content, animation and voice acting wise a bit more than storytelling wise, I wish it could and would have been more/longer.

I hope I can rewatch soon, and who knows, maybe I'll add more points or get back to some.

Exactly. Something about the DTC boys will always want to say things horrible things about people that I normally wouldn't. Which is saying a lot from me.

They're stupid. And they're stupid in a bad way, not the good way either. Which makes me hate them.

Kizzy and Kaito shouldn't even be the only romantic couple. Everyone needs love! She'll help Rocky with trying to impress this girl, and she might help other people who want to be in relationships. She really is a matchmaker. And nosy matchmaker at that too.

Rocky has the cool older brother vibe that everyone wants to be around, Kaito's the quiet middle sibling, and Kizzy's the mischievous younger sister who just gets into trouble whenever the boys are not around.

I don't have any visual boards for my characters, so the best outcome I can do is their actual pictures or videos of the people who happen to be face claims.

I'm still figuring them out. I know, I know.. I keep on saying that. I'm basically a broken record right now.

A tomboy punk who enjoys creating fashion for any person who would want their own clothing made by someone like her. Someone who seems actually like the most authentic person they have met whenever it's about expressing yourself through appearances.

Exactly! Like regardless of the relationship between Orange and Cobra, friends or lovers, people already assume they were together because they do a lot of things like this. Buying twice as much food, sharing the food. Since they have their sweet tooths. Junko is always jealous when Orange is involved, because she's has some weirdly possessive crush on Cobra.. She's weird. So there's probably going be some one sided rivalry between Orange and Junko over him.

When it comes to shows and movies, these girls are definitely going to enjoy what interests them so any languages aren't a problem when it comes to media they want to watch. Foreign movies have suspense, they need that suspense when they're watching.

Girl From Nowhere. Is that the one that reminds me of Tomie by Junji Ito? I know it's not, but that's what the main female reminds of. From what I have seen. But I've only watched the trailers, not the show.

That might have been a thought. Since Kuryu really seems like the type of men who are very traditional, they would rather keep the males of the family in on the yakuza family business. And only have keep any females involved to a minimum. Unless you happen to be Ryuko's father. I am only basing this on what I can see from another rewatch. There's not so many, or any, women in Kuryu besides wives or daughters - if they're daughters. But that was definitely one of the thoughts I had for her too. I am slowly watching the movies again so I'll see what ideas come from it by then, for all three of the color coded characters.

I don't blame her. One parent abandons you, for you to be stuck with the other most abusive parent. So.. I don't blame her for rejecting her if that's how you'd get them reunited. I'm curious how that turns out.

I might have to search Yeule.. The only pictures that I have seen of her were the pictures you had posted on here. But I can what you mean. There is only bits piece of her style that would fit your own character.

Definitely. Always save your favorite pieces to these things, especially if those would be your treasures. I can say that I'm easily attached to objects that I will care about. So I might be a bit sentimental that way though.. That's just me. But everyone is different.

That also makes sense. She'll wear any shoes that is able to fix, and if there's only one shoe just because she only needs one shoe. That doesn't surprise me.

Exactly. Mother and daughter weren't in an abusive family, the father died. They both cared about him... And is why they felt like they were betraying him - if they moved on to someone new. So I understand all of that. But Koo will only actually get involved if this situation escalates more than it was necessary. And I can imagine Koo will break Dan's legs next time he sees in the SWORD towns after ruining his vacation though, they ruined his relaxing time so his newest hobby to relax is by breaking Dan's legs this time.

Now I'm just imagining a conversation that includes my characters, and maybe even yours too, about all these characters either got injured or died because they pissed off the yakuza. And I could imagine one of them making a comment like that, in that way. I'll seriously never stop laughing at the comment now.

I've been hearing different rumors about him being the one forcing the abortion. Regardless, if that is a true situation, that is completely fucked up to me.

And exactly. I am strict about loyalty. Which is why I never have relationships that last. I don't know him.. I don't know him, or the situation, and anything else in this entire situation. But if you're truly unhappy in a relationship, just break up or divorce them, then it would be fine to get in a whole new relationship any time after that. Why cheat on the person? Seriously.

Fuck him up, Rocky!

Exactly. Hyuga doesn't care what anyone does with anything.. If it doesn't involve him, he does not care to know about it. They are forced to drink water and eat food so none get sick, like alcohol poisoning is a illnesses that the older Daruma trying to prevent.

Damn. Rocky can never catch a break when Kizzy is around.. She is like his sister. She torments him way too much. She enjoys blackmailing him too much.

Really? That's fine. I'm used to it though... There are so many people I know who are smokers, whether it is cigarettes to marijuana. I can tolerant marijuana a lot of the time, but not any other drugs. But I do not smoke at all. They can smoke, but I'm not smoking.

Then what are you going to do for those characters who smoke? Not trying to cause conflict. I'm just so curious on how you would write their characters.

But I get the asthma though. I never had asthma, at least I don't think I ever did. But I understand why in your situation though. So I can't blame you for that.

I might have watched the trailer for The Glory, since I remember seeing show listed on Netflix. Maybe I'll watch the trailer again to see if I'd watch the show.

Laws in Asian countries are much stricter than in all the other countries from what I understand, at least strict than western countries (like America, Europe, Australia). They're even stricter about drugs, not so sure about alcohol though. But yes.. I won't get into details. But there is a Japanese band that I listen to, this was years ago, but they had to go on hiatus the time their new guitarist got arrested for possessing marijuana but now he's been replaced by these new guitarists who are a lot better. So maybe I'm biased.

I'll summarize what happened with the actress.

"In May 2022, she was driving under the influence around 8:00 am. She crashed into several structures including transformers, guard rails and street trees. In the crash, the transformer broke down, and the electricity supply was cut off for about 3 hours at 57 places including nearby shops, causing damage to merchants."

But yeah. Maybe I'm being selfish. But why would a person, a celebrity of all people, do something even stupider while they're in production of working on a project. I know, I know.. Celebrites are really people too. But they should never be doing things like this.

h&l needed more romance. i know it had a big action and friendship lean, but i wanted the romance aspect too! eight movies and i didn’t get one kiss scene? not even between the literal one couple in the series? robbed!

i need a visual board in addition to notes. it just helps me figure them out. i don’t know how i’d do it without having a bunch of pictures to gather vibes.

junko is pretty weird. it’s a shame h&l didn’t actually develop the strawberry girls beyond being romance obsessed because they could’ve been so cool. the only really ‘cool’ thing was the girls watching over the fights to report back, especially in the ranmaru fight so that sannoh knew to go in and help rocky.

also not to be on my marco/cosette nonsense but i was rewatching the end of sky fight scene to make sure the twintowers were actually there, and there’s a scene during the rascals’ scatter where marco rescues cosette from being beat up and helps him get up to run away. they’re boyfriends~.

girl from nowhere does have a bit of a tomie vibe. it’s an anthology series with different stories every episode but following the same main character, nanno. it’s really fun.

well, even ryuko’s dad keeps her involvement to a minimum, she was a marriage prospect to the other leaders’ sons and would serve drinks and then be shooed away while the ‘men talked business’ (she still managed to overhear some stuff).

i had an idea that she figured out how to fight because of the cruelty of her father’s assassins. they’d pit her against newbies because if they ‘couldn’t beat this little girl’ then they wouldn’t make it in the minamoto sect. her father didn’t really notice the extra bruises since he was already beating her and then ignoring her.

definitely doesn’t turn out well. ryuko yells at her mother and tells her she doesn’t want - or need - her in her life. then just leaves before her mother can get a word in because she doesn’t want to hear it. murayama and hyuga - separately - talk to her about it later.

hinami has a little collection of stuff that she’s gathered up over the years. there’s a couple ohajiki pieces that she really likes and keeps in her room. i imagine she has a few vintage toys and things that she’s collected while digging through the junk around nameless. she probably has a few vintage kewpie dolls.

bleugh. true or not, in general, having an affair and then forcing your affair partner to get rid of the pregnancy, it’s shitty. just get divorced! or just don’t cheat!

so long as nobody on his team’s dying, hyuga doesn’t care. besides, if anything bad does happen, he probably depends on kato to deal with it.

i’m not pushy about people not smoking, weed or cigarettes, i’m just not going to be around it. when my friends would smoke, they’d go outside and i’d stay inside and they never tried to force me to participate (because they’re decent people). it’s just something that i’m not comfortable with.

usually when it comes to characters that smoke i just … ignore it. i can usually get away without ever having to mention it.

that’s so shitty. i’m glad it seems like no one was seriously hurt, but that sucks for the merchants. how many stories does there need to be for it to click with people that they shouldn’t drink and drive?

and to be a celebrity too, like you’re in the public eye! people are going to know! it’s going to be terrible for your reputation and livelihood!! it’s so across-the-board stupid!

4:32 AM 12/11/2022

Yesterday, I was still thinking about videogames since The Game Awards 2022 was so recently. And I think I was thinking about all these new Witcher announcements from CD Project Red and how they premiered a trailer for that new DLC for Cyberpunk 2077. I went from a thought tangent thought about poor CD Projeckt Red, to my own business. CD Projekt Red had such a good reputation because of their work on The Witcher videogames. And then that reputation was all lost, because Cyberpunk 2077 crashed and burned. But I heard about it recently getting better. They patched and patched and patched that thing. Maybe they've achieved the No Man's Sky type of redemption. When I hear about No Man's Sky now, people gush about how good it is now, despite all the disappointments at launch. And now, the YouTube algorithm is once again autoplaying Jenny Nicholson's Evermore video essay. And I"m rewatching it. Again. This video essay is also about a project that floundered and disappointed people, made mistakes, and got people angry. So I began to think, that maybe despite all the mistakes and possible bad reputation that my small art business has gotten, maybe I too could possibly still make a living off of art, if I just fix my mistakes, while going forward, and don't give up.

I really hope so. Because with my lack of basic human socialization skills and common sense, I'm just not cut out for even the "easiest" of "regular" jobs. My last office job, I was crying every Friday, and it didn't even deal with external customers. I don't think I can do any other job besides "small business artist working alone".

Lately, I've been thinking about how maybe my artist alley studio might have a worse reputation than I was aware of. While I was still working artist alley tables at AX, before the pandemic, I had heard maybe 2 people pass by my table and whisper about my polymer clay charms breaking too easily. I thought they were outliers, but what if word has spread so much farther than I'm aware of and maybe people are avoiding my brand like the plague? They were putting my polymer clay charms on their keys, expecting simple crafting polymer clay to stand up against thick jagged metal. I think I heard a person say they put one of my large hanging polymer clay sculptures on their bag, instead of hanging it as wall art, like I expected. I was astounded that people were expecting polymer clay to have the same durability as industrial plastics. Even if big chain stores considered such plastics to be cheap trinkets, it's still a whole other category whose expectations shouldn't be applied to polymer clay. And my sister, who had always been helping encourage my business, assured me that no one would pay so much for my sculptures, only to treat them as roughly as industrial plastic trinkets. I had been selling my polymer clay charms mostly as jewelry. But I after a couple years, I started offering them on smaller charm straps. I had been testing my polymer clay charms as a phone charm for a while, and it stood up against all my phone handling. So I thought my polymer clay charms were suitable for some moderately rough handling. But still, I didn't expect them to be put on keys! I thought people would hang them on pinboard collections. Or at the very least, put only the small charms on their phones or bags. I didn't expect them to treat polymer clay so roughly, especially after spending so much on it. And now, there were people passing by my table, gossiping about my terrible product quality. All my excitement about product concepts, all my designing, all my painful physical labor in restocking, etc. all for naught because my materials weren't durable enough. And maybe there were many more than those 2 I heard in person. Maybe my entire business venture is doomed online. Maybe I have a blacklisted reputation, and I don't know about it.

But I realize now, I was wrong. People expect the same durability as cheap, industrial plastic trinkets. People will put charms on keys. People will take short charm straps and put them on keys. Apparently, my material testing wasn't accurate to how rough people would actually be. And maybe if I had done more research, I would have learned that people don't recommend Sculpey III for durability, BEFORE I had bought sooooooooooo much of it already. x~x;;;; Still, I was bolstered by my own phone charm test. I was encouraged by my sister. But maybe I should stop expecting people to be so careful. All my durability testing after making sculptures turned out to be nothing against what real people would do. Maybe if I had more experience with real people, I would have had a better concept of what to expect the to be like. And I can't keep "sunk cost fallacy"'ing myself into continuing to use Sculpey III, just because I already spent so much money on it. I can't keep having confidence in it, just because it was durable enough for my personal use testing, when my real life customers are expecting more. I can't just blame them for "using my products incorrectly". The next time I sell sculptures, they're going to be made of something strong like resin.

So even though I love sculpting, so much more than illustration, I think I may have to abandon it for my art business. ;_; I'm getting too physically tired for the labor anyway. And no one wants to pay for the actual amount of hours I put into my sculptures. When I underpriced my 8-to-11-hour-labor sculptures at $40-$66, everyone was fine with buying them. But when I started pricing them closer to what I actually should be compensated, no one wanted to pay even $70. (Except for the Sora Wayfinders. But those ended up so labor intensive, that I dread the physical pain I'd have to put into making more, to the point where I just can't get myself to make them anymore.) And then on top of all that, turns out my materials will just never be durable enough. I've lost all confidence and motivation in the art I love. I've lost all drive to make or even design it anymore too. Maybe I'll be able to transition into more durable resin sculptures someday. But until then, polymer clay sculpting will just be for me (DIY figurine accessories) and my family's Christmas gifts.

I've always been envious of illustrators in artist alley anyway. At every event, if they want to restock, they can just send some files to a printer, and get products to stock their tables, 20+ at a time. I've seen illustrator artists go from one big con, to another con they didn't expect, ON SHORT NOTICE, and still have stock! Because restocking is so much easier for them. That's something I've barely been able to do as a crafter. When you don't outsource to anyone, restocking is a multi-month struggle. Each item is starting from scratch all over again. Like, imagine those illustrator artists spending 40 hours to draw one illustration, having to do that for each and every copy of a product they sold. That's what crafters have to do. Getting sold out of one product at one con, means that it may not have more than one item restocked and ready for the next con, even a week later. I have always been so jealous of illustrators just ordering their acrylic charms, stickers, prints, standees, etc. They don't have to push through the physical pain---hunched over desks while sculpting, ruining my neck and back, rolling out stubborn clay like I was working out my arms with a gym exercise machine---of making each and every individual item, ALL OVER AGAIN. So I've always wanted to be able to just restock so easily, just like drawing fanartists. So switching to illustration-based art for my small business---even though I've always preferred the feel and satisfaction of 3D crafting more---may be be a welcome change.

The problem being that I can't draw well. But I've been working on it. I've found that practicing everyday works for me, despite all the YouTube videos saying that daily drawing is unnecessary and maybe even detrimental. It works for me. When I don't draw everyday, I feel this paralysis in my hands and my mind, and it's so difficult for me to start drawing, even the simplest things. And I've finally found a chibi style that comes naturally to me. I've ALWAYS wanted to draw cute chibi! ;u;!!! I'm doing daily drawing challenges every month. And I think I'm getting faster and finding a style that might work for me. And I just got my first touchscreen laptop a year ago, so I can learn digital drawing. And though I haven't had a working stylus for a few months(?), I'm finally starting to learn vector illustration, like the cute/kawaii art style I love from Instagram artists. I'm making breakthroughs. Like realizing that maybe the monochrome, silhouette, minimal faced figures I had been drawing for witch OCs, might be good for fanart too. I'm figuring out that colored ink lines might work better for my illustrations, and that even my purely linework, monochrome, spiral or hatchmark filled drawings are well received too. I feel so close to getting the hang of illustration, so that it's good enough to sell in artist alley or online. Maybe I can finally outsource to printers and make my living as an artist. I have hope now.

As long as I can get past my bad reputation. But I think I just have to be like CD Projekt Red and No Man's Sky. If I can just move forward and do better, maybe I can fix this. Maybe I can still do this. My sister said once, that she doesn't want to see me give up being an artist because of one bad experience with a customer. And I really considered giving up art over it, especially because I was at fault. My art broke, my art wasn't durable enough, I promised to replace it, I felt too much physical dread to make it all over again to actually make a replacement, and when I tried contacting the customer again, they didn't want to deal with my products anymore. I failed. I'm a failure. But maybe even a failure can still keep trying. This isn't "do or do not". My life is all about just TRYING. And trying again.

Though I don't know how much longer I can try. I'm going to be honest here: I've been living off my parents. My mom said that unmarried "good Asian girls live at home", and I was fine with that. I'm antisocial and can't have friends, so I don't have the peer pressure of being "ashamed of myself" for living with my parents. I have a lot of social anxiety, so I don't have many mental/emotional secure places besides my parents. I'm certain the only reason I was able to pay off my student loans and my car so quickly, was because I don't pay for rent or groceries, because of my parents. And I wish America didn't have this culture of "kick the kids out at 18", because I hear too many horror stories of people running themselves ragged, trying to pay for rent, and student loans, and groceries, and their car, all without help. I wish more parents helped their kids for their whole lives, the way mine do. …But that also means that I'm really worried about what to do when that support disappears. My dad has not been vaccinated against COVID, even once. He has this history of strong reactions to vaccines, that have gotten him almost killed before. And he's talking almost like an anti-vaxxer now. And this is on top of him being in 2 high risk groups for COVID: elderly, and chronic illness (diabetes). It took me a while to finally accept that I can't stop him from living his life as risky as he wants, and my past attempts to talk to him about this were disasterous. My social anxiety can't stand up to be a child trying to lecture your Asian parents. My sister has encouraged me to accept that he's just going to die. I mean, even without the pandemic, it was going to happen anyway. But I can't just be only sad about that prospect, because I also don't know if I can financially support myself alone without him. I don't know if I can afford to keep trying to make a living as an artist.

My art business has been so dismal. I don't put enough effort into it. I'm so afraid to try new things. I'm afraid to try commissions or even opening an online shop. It's been 10 years and I still don't have an online shop! I don't have enough confidence in myself. I don't have confidence in my art. I already have so much failure in my art reputation among customers, that maybe I've been blacklisted already. I haven't succeeded in making a regular income with art, even after 10 years. What makes me think I can make a living off of it?

I've always been dealing with my own suicidal ideation and aversion to thinking about the future or even acting like I have one. Everything reminds me how I'm just not cut out for this whole "being alive" thing. That's why sometimes I think about going back to an office job. …But then I remember how that exasperated my suicidal ideation, even though I had everything everyone said I needed to be happy: excess money, a healthcare plan,… And yet, I still found myself self-destructive (with money and physical self-harm) and thinking of dying, for seemingly no reason. That's why I decided that art needed to be my career. If this office job stuff left me too tired to do things after work and after my commute, to do things that made life feel worth living, then the only solution is to make my job the activities that make my life feel worthwhile. I HAVE to make art my job. I don't' want to return to that self-destructive path again. I remember thinking back then that if the only thing I get out of that job is money, then I had no choice but to try to get my self fulfillment through money. Hey, consumerism seemed to be what everyone else was using for self fulfillment anyway. But I just ended up financially self destructive. I wasn't even happy with the things I bought. I was buying $40-$90 plushies for series/characters I didn't even care much for. I was buying $50 jackets just beause my sister told me to buy it as a joke. And I wasn't happier with any of it. I need to make art. Even if I'm bad at it. And I need to make it my career, because I don't have the any other time or energy for it. And trying to squeeze it alongside an unfulfilling job for financial reasons was mentally putting me in mortal danger. I haven't got much choice:

I have to keep trying and moving forward with my art business. Even if I'm bad at it. Even if I've been too afraid to make much progress for 10 years already. Even if my reputation is shot. I'll rebrand. I'll keep trying. Because even if I financially die from this attempt, how is it any different than if I become financially sustained but suicidal anyway? I have never been happier than this past 10 years of my life. No more school meant no more regular suicide attempts twice a year (then twice a month during college). No more office job meant no more waking up and wishing I never had, trying to think of a reason life is worth living and getting up for, but lying in bed for 3 hours and coming up empty, only to trudge to work, cry every Friday, get bullied for the first time in my life, by supposed "mature adults", and end up emotionally unfulfilled and (financially and mentally) self destructive. Art as my job is the only path for me besides death.

PicardPositivity Day 13: Seven of Nine Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One The Ex-Borg Fenris Ranger from the Delta Quadrant

I have definitely talked about our Chaos Trio before, but on this our Seven's day, I really have to talk about how much I adore Seven.

She has been my favorite character from my favorite Star Trek for years, and I literally squealed when she was revealed to be in Picard, and I never do that. I get excited, but never involuntarily scream. I remember the first time I saw that trailer with her in it. I was not expecting it at all, and I was watching the preview before showing it to my family. I was planning on mentioning it to them later that a new trailer came out, but that "later" turned into "immediately" after I saw Seven and literally squeaked trying not to actually scream, because they didn't know the new trailer existed, they were in the same room, and I didn't want them to know I had watched the trailer without them. That "immediately" was so immediate, though, that I didn't actually finish watching that trailer and totally missed that very last clip with Data at the end (the first clip we'd seen of Data, too, if I remember correctly, although we already knew Brent Spiner was in it but we didn't know about Jeri Ryan), and only saw that part when I rewatched it with my family a minute later. I did tell them I had watched it, though, it was literally just a momentary "oh I shouldn't make too big a reaction because they don't know what's happening and I don't want to explain it to them" reflex.

Anyway, this is the preview in question:

youtube

And I adore how our badass Ex-Borg Fenris Ranger from the Delta Quadrant turned out, although I hate that things have been so hard on her, and I am devastated about Icheb. Raffi/Seven at the end there was a surprise and a great one, and I adore every interaction she has with Rios. I need Rios giving her the "you hurt Raffi I hurt you" protective sibling speech. I need Chaos Trio bonding. It looks like we'll get some more interaction in s2 and the hints are tantalizing. I can't wait to see where Raffi/Seven goes. I can't wait to see Rios and Seven's bond developing. I can't wait to see more of Raffi and Rios's friendship. I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait.

You know what I need? Actual interaction with Seven and the Holo Squad. She had that bond with Doc. I just. Really want to see Emergency Holograms of all kinds just automatically gravitating towards Seven. I want to see Seven and Emmet snipe at each other. I want him to tell her to her face that her ship was hideous and her to snap back and for him to just be like "damn I guess she's alright. Still has terrible taste in ships though." I need her to see elements of Doc in each of the holos and I need it so much.

And I love her and Elnor. And I love that Elnor and Raffi bonded and Elnor and Seven bonded and, well, he's Their Kid now. He saw badass warrior women and went "alright new moms!" and they just went, "yeah, I guess you're right!"

Oh, and I only have one Seven meme that I've made, somehow, so I'm just adding it here:

L M A O mora that teaser really was a trap💀 no but really i don’t even know where to begin? this show has been such a breath of fresh air from beginning to end and that just warms me to my core. and it’s like, if we got angst or an actual breakup this ep i still would’ve ate it up cuz it’s p’aof and i doubt he’d let us down w his storytelling, but we got happiness instead! we got to see that they spent those 4 years still very much together and very much in love and i just!! to know that pran & pat faced their problems together, to know that after getting together they stayed a healthy couple, even through the tough times? i’m soaring rn i swear. and i love me my angsty dramas (especially when they’re done well) but we need more of these feel good shows too!! shows where the couple is happy and don’t have to lose more time/years to misfortune or hurt or whatever! ahhhh😭

and inkpa! ink’s basically a part of their family at this point like seeing how comfortable she looked in their home?? my heart! also side note but pran looks so good!! i mean he always does but this hairstyle on him! cuz when they were in the bar? idk what they were feeding him but he looked Good As Hell i’m losing my minddd.

and???? that scene in [4/4] when pran’s playing guitar for pat had me ready to collapse like they’re so in love i can’t do this! there’s literally only so much i can take! i’m also glad we got to see one last episode of Pat Wants to Sleep Over cuz the work he puts in whenever he’s being kicked out of pran’s room lmaooo and that chaotic ending is so Them like truly an a1 way to end the series alskdjlsk

p’aof really delivered w this show because the bar he set is high! if it wasn’t late already i would’ve had my own little rewatch party cuz my heart needs it lmao. and i’m gonna miss reading your responses😭 i loved reading them so much and getting to understand your take on each episode, literally so comforting (esp your rants!!) thanks for indulging my ramblings and for keeping me company these past weeks🥺 i’m sure i’ll come screaming back to you eventually~~~ hope you enjoyed the episode and you’re have an amazing day/night~~ <33 -🥞

Pancake!!! Aahhhhhhh! I feel you so much and my brain can only keysmash and be happy and giddy and so overwhelmed!

They really gave us this trailer and it shouldn't have surprised anyone that it was a trap all along lmao I do hope P'Aof had some fun time reading some freak outs XD But yeah, even if they'd been apart for 4 years, I would have taken it, bc as you said, I trust P'Aof and it would have made sense as a decision. But to know that they decided to MAKE the world accept that they're in love? That they'd stay together no matter what? The way they spent all their important moments with each other? Aaaaaaaah, this is making me so happy!

P'Aof truly delivered and set a new standard. Tbh even if the last episode hadn't been so beautiful, I would have still loved the show because of all those moments they gave us. And they still topped that!

I do love my messy gay cockroaches and if a couple has a hard time finding to each other but you're right. Pat and Pran showed how it's done. How you can stay true to yourself and stay together and not break with everyone else. Their parents lied to them their whole lives and have left any right to be told the truth. Gosh, their faces when they lied so expertedly XD also, this makes their goodbye right before they fake broke up, so damn dramatic! Ohm shed his fucking TEARS for that! Q.Q

InkPha still going strong was so beautiful to watch and I loved how good it was, how Ink was a part of the family, as you said it. And she's now also a force against the dad. Like, he has everyone on Pat's side and they all have fun together while he tries to stay grumpy. I also think that once their parents realised there was still more going on, over the years, they also realised that if they made a big deal out of it again, they'd lose their kids. And this time for real.

The ending was truly deserving of them and their horny but chaotic love story, omg. Loved it. What a great way to go XD

You're making me emotional, ah! I love seeing them be happy, but I'm sad that it was the finale now. Maybe the rewatch can start next fri-gay and it will never stop? I'm also going to miss your asks and rants and I'm so thankful you honored me with those and enjoyed my rants. Thank you so so so so much! <3333

I wish you a wonderful day/night and hope the finale happiness will stay some more with you =^^= take care and feel free to come by to rant about whatever show you want to <3

#ask #pancake #now I am truly emotional #aaaaaah #you're the best #also all the 3wbf gifs today #not sorry #Bad Buddy

Hey there, umm I was just, y’know, making my way downtown, walking fast, as you do, and I suddenly wondered ‘hey, moo seems like someone with superior tv knowledge, I should ask moo if he has any movie/show recommendations’ and so here I am. Asking for movie and/or show recommendations. 👍

Babe you KNOW I be watchin tv (and movies)

This is gonna be a long post so I’ll make a Read under Cut to save your dash 🙏

Let's gooooo!

Movies first:

Swiss Army Man- R | Moo's rating: 10/10

This is my all time favorite movie. My comfort movie, if you will. Its WEIRD though. It has a lot of gross/surreal comedy, especially in the beginning so its not for everyone! Don't feel bad if you try to watch it and decide YIKES no thanks. Trust me, I understand lmao. But if you can make it through the gross stuff, I promise you a movie that is unlike any you've ever seen. I think its worth going into it completely blind but if you fancy watching the trailer, here it is:

Trailer

Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe are SPECTACULAR as the main characters and the soundtrack is hands down my FAVORITE movie soundtrack to date. I listen to it all the time in my free time because its that good. There are so many lessons on what it means to be alive, to be open so that others can understand and love all of you and it just GAH makes me cry every time.

Trigger warnings: suicide attempts, nudity (asscheeks), sexual humor, one of the characters is a corpse so uhhh whatever that trigger would be lol

Kimi no na wa/Your Name- PG | Moo's rating: 10/10

Amazing, spectacular, perfect, yes. This is my faaaavorite anime movie. The animation is mind blowing and paired with an OST by Radwimps???? Ahhhhh so gooood. This is the movie I share with my non-anime fan friends/family because its that gorgeous 😍 I cry EVERY time

Trailer

TW: dubious character death? Hmm I dunno how to warn about it without spoilers so just uhhh... death but like... not... death lmao

O Brother, Where Art Thou?- PG-13 | Moo's rating: 9.5/10

Based loosely on the Odyssey by Homer, this movie USED to be my all time favorite. I've seen it like a million times by now. Its a Coen Brothers film so OBVIOUSLY its a total banger. Its a funny, wild ride from start to finish with a FANTASTIC cast and another perfect OST.

Trailer

TW: Racism/ scenes involving the KKK, some animals are killed (cows and toad). As someone who is sensitive to animal death in movies, I'm not too bothered by the scenes so take that as you please

School of Rock- PG-13 | Moo's rating: 9.5/10

I mean.... I feel like I shouldn't even have to say anything about this one. If you haven't seen it then what're you doing??????? Go watch it!! Its literally Jack Black playing Jack Black, what more do you need?

Trailer

TW: nothing comes to mind tbh its just innocent fun

Kung-fu Hustle- PG-13 | Moo's rating: 9/10

This one ALSO used to be my favorite movie. Absolutely hilarious and great quality kung-fu action! Stephen Chow is a genius 🙏🙏🙏 (Shaolin Soccer is also good but Kung-fu Hustle is iconic 😘👌)

Trailer

TW: violence and minor character death, also a CG cat dies but its not graphic at all

Moulin Rouge- PG-13 | Moo's rating: 9/10

Obviously this movie is in my top list of fave movies. Great music, dynamo cast, beautiful setting and direction mwwwwah 😙🤌

Trailer

TW: major character death, sexual assault

Guns Akimbo- R | Moo's rating: 9/10

Talk about EXCITING. This movie is a RIDE. Daniel Radcliffe honestly might be one of my fave actors these days tbh because he fuckin rocks in this one too. Very very actiony and violent but there are some super cool and pretty shots and scenes like wow I love it and need to rewatch it

Trailer

TW: Graphic violence, blood, death, etc of that sort

Hunt for the Wilderpeople- PG-13 | Moo's rating: 8.5/10

Listen, I'm a big sucker for the "grizzled old man adopts child" trope AND Taika Waititi's brand of humor so this movie is just mwah chef's kiss. Its set in beautiful New Zealand so theres plenty to admire 😍 I was gonna rate it a 9/10 but there ARE a few parts that drag a tiny bit. Still though, it's spectacular and worth a watch for sure

Trailer

TW: minor character death, and one dog dies :(

50/50- R | Moo's rating: 8/10

Ahh this movie makes me EMOTE. Seth Rogen's role as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's best friend in this movie was SHOCKINGLY sweet and heartfelt. He’s literally such a good friend its crazy. Very good, very nice story about dealing with a tough ass situation 👌

Trailer

TW: sex, drug use (cannabis), cancer/hospitals/sickness

Honorable mentions (recs that I'm too lazy to talk about but are still good):

Secondhand Lions

Palm Springs

Ready or Not

Wild Target

Monster in Law (HUSH I just think its funny)

Airplane

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Jesus Christ Superstar

Ocean's Eleven (12 and 13 are also good)

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (Bogus Journey is great as well)

🖤

Now for TV!

I'm gonna split these up in 2 categories: Live action and animation, because I watch a lot of both 👌

First, Live Action:

The Good Place- TV-PG | Moo's rating: 10/10

You KNOW imma always recommend this show its perfect and I rewatch it ALL the time. AMAZING ensemble cast with a ton of chemistry, hilarious, heartfelt, ugh its just fantastic in every way. Its also such a treat to look at like mmmm Ted Danson, Manny Jacinto, William Jackson Harper, Kristen Bell- LITERALLY ALL OF THEM CMON

TW: none? I mean, i would say death but its about the afterlife so thats kind of a given, ya know? So uhh just some sexual stuff and like... alcohol? Less of trigger warning and more of a content warning i guess

The Nanny: TV-PG | Moo's rating: 9.5/10

This show awakened some things in me as a kid, yo. Fran is a fashion icon, I was literally IN LOVE with her back then. Still am tbh.

TW: its pretty innocent, some sexual content of course but thats about it

Malcolm in the Middle- TV-PG | Moo's rating: 9/10

I've lost track of how many times I've rewatched this banger. Its wildly entertaining and depicts a family that loves just as hard as they fight GAH the cast is so quirky and the moments when they come together for a common goal (especially when they defend Lois???) is just so sweet. 🥰 its also surprisingly progressive! There's an episode where both Malcolm and Reese think the other one is gay and it genuinely made me so soft how they were trying so hard to be supportive agsgshdgsh I love it (also Hal is Bryan Cranston's best role ever, no competition. Everyone deserves a husband like Hal)

TW: some rough family situations, military school

My Name is Earl- TV-PG | Moo's rating: 9/10

This show would be a 10/10 if it didn't get canceled and also have that weird coma stuff in season 3. Even with that though, this show is amazing. Soooo funny and full of super sweet life lessons. Its genuinely heartwarming to watch Earl learn lessons and navigate his new way of life 🖤

TW: crime, violence, infidelity, sexual content

Raising Hope- TV-PG | Moo's rating: 8.5/10

SO CUTE CUTE CUTE. Single father and cute daughter?????? You KNOW im all for that shit!!! Gah this show is adorable and sweet as friggin syrup

TW: violence

3rd Rock from the Sun: TV-PG | Moo's rating: 8/10

I love me a "fish outta water" premise man hnnn I used to watch this show every day after school its great. I was in LOVE with Sally. Oof long legs extreme help 🥵 (wow this has become a thirst list)

TW: sexual themes

Good Girls- TV-14 | Moo's rating: 7.5/10

Like watching women commit crimes? Then this is the show for you! Honestly this show is just fun. And the soundtrack is BANGING

TW: crime, violence

Dead to Me- TV-MA | Moo's rating: 7/10

Christina Applegate is SO GOOD in this show. And paired with Linda Cardellini???? 😙👌 honestly if I was rating the first season alone, I would rate it a 9/10 but the second season brought it down a little. The characters and their relationships are so complex, its so consuming 🙏 (also bi representation wassup)

TW: sexual content, death, grief, recreational drug use

Okay let's move on to animated shows 👍

Bojack Horseman- TV-MA | Moo's rating: 10/10

This is SUPERIOR writing. I dont even know how to talk about this show because it has EVERYTHING. Its socially conscious, hilarious, dark, depressing, hopeful, EVERYTHING. I never expected to connect to or be affected by this show the way I have been. The characters are deep and all go through their own personal arcs throughout the 6 seasons and it is honestly the first show I've seen to accurately depict SO MANY THINGS. Stuff like depression and ptsd and addiction and the strain fame puts on people, especially young people GEE IM GETTING EMOTIONAL ALL OVER AGAIN. Anyway, its amazing, ill stop now

TW: all of them. All the triggers. Well maybe not all of them. There's a lot of substance abuse and addiction and driving under the influence. Character death, violence, real world issues like gun control and sexism... its pretty chock full of stressors, so if you're someone who is sensitive to that kinda thing, make sure to look up a complete list of trigger warnings before watching! 🖤

Bob's Burgers- TV-PG | Moo's rating: 10/10

I probably don't need to explain why this is here. Great original music, fun characters, life lessons. Its the best, the end

TW: nothing comes to mind 🤔

King of the Hill- TV-PG | Moo’s rating: 10/10

I do a rewatch of this classic at least once a year.

I always tell people that Bob from Bob’s Burgers is my ideal of a perfect (white cis male) Democrat and Hank from King of the Hill is my ideal of a perfect (white cis male) Republican and I’m so so right. Hank is so conservative in his attitude about literally EVERYTHING, but not in the horrible Confederate flag waving, woman hating way. He’s a reserved, private guy who constantly LEARNS and GROWS, and is always open to other people’s lifestyles, even if he doesn’t understand it or if it makes him uncomfortable.

This show tackles a wide variety of people and topics and never fails to make it funny AND sweet. There are times when Hank can be bullheaded and infuriating but he always comes around to make the right decision by the end of the episode 🥰 He also reminds me SO MUCH of my dad. Literally his mannerisms, his voice, the way he says “Whhat?” when he’s shocked... it’s just my dad in cartoon form, I swear lmao

TW: republicans, guns, depression, Hank’s dad is abusive af (though he does have moments of sweetness)

The Amazing World of Gumball- TV-Y7-FV | Moo’s rating: 10/10

This show NEVER gets old. When I just wanna watch a quick something while I eat lunch or if none of my other shows are doing it for me, this is my go-to. It’s a kids show so it’s definitely more lighthearted than the others but it’s straight up HILARIOUS and has some adult jokes sprinkled in here and there.

On top of that, they use a huge mix of animation types. From 2D to CG to claymation to puppetry WOW it’s so cool

TW: cartoon violence

Futurama- TV-14 | Moo’s rating: 9/10

Maybe I’m just simple but this show is just laugh after laugh after laugh. So witty and quick. It’s another one that I rewatch constantly. (honestly all of these shows are 🤷‍♂️)

TW: violence, sex, drugs/alcohol

Archer- TV-MA | Moo’s rating: 8.5/10

Like Bojack, this one is very mature and not for everyone. It’s one of those shows (like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) that has a full cast of degenerates and bastards. Archer is an alcoholic douchebag, Mallory is a greedy bitch, Cheryl is clinically insane, Cyril is a whiny sex addict, Pam is an obnoxious pervert, Lana is a naggy wet blanket, Kreiger is a mad scientist, Ray is gay.

But it’s funny as fuck. It’s definitely one of those things where you’re like “oh no i can’t believe I’m laughing at this” but man I just love it. The dialogue is FANTASTIC and the wacky shenanigans they get into is always entertaining. If adult humor is something you’re into then this one is perfect 👌

Pam is my fave 🙏

TW: uhhh everything again. lots of violence and death, sex, drugs/alcohol, addiction, just straight up terrible human beings doing terrible things

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack- TV-Y7-FV | Moo’s rating: 8/10

Another cartoon for kids that I got endless joy from as an adult. It’s weird af and sometimes disgusting but the brand of humor is RIGHT up my alley. I dunno how to explain it, just give it a watch

TW: gross-out gags, cartoon violence

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts- TV-Y7 | Moo’s rating: 8/10

Want to see some representation? Watch Kipo! The three main characters are POC and one is gay! The animation for this show is so nice and pretty too 😙👌 And the soundtrack??? Yes. Spectacular.

I would rate it higher but it felt a little short 🤔 even though it has 3 seasons, once it finished I felt like there should have been more.

TW: cartoon violence, some dark themes

Hilda- TV-Y7 | Moo’s rating: 7/10

This one is just nice and wistful and cute. Little adventures in a magical world of trolls and witches and other interesting mythical creatures.

TW: none 🖤

okay okay i’ll stop there because this post is already super long. Some of these titles might seem really obvious because they’ve been around for a while or they’re just wildly popular but if you haven’t seen them then this is your reminder to watch them!

Hope you find something you like from this list 🥰🥰

Thoughts journal for season 13!! 😎😎 (2/4)

Here we go with another four episodes! I'm enjoying myself A LOT and I do hope we will continue this way! I can't wait to know more about Rock Mom and who really is the Skull Sorcerer and ENOUGH LET'S GO TO THE EPISODES!!! 💕💕

Here we go!!

QUEEN OF THE MUNCE

For this one I already saw the Nya's knight suit already... and she was gorgeous... I mean she always is but COME ON 💙💙💙

These munce are too much 😂 They are kind of adorable in their stupidity really

Jay going full "we're never going to get out Imma get overly pessimistic because YES" is always a familiar sight, almost as him spazzing out during a difficult situation... that could still happen 🤷‍♀️

Good thing Nya gets the brain cell most of the time 👌

Of course while I'm waiting for the third part of Tales of Arcadia, something so similar to the Trollmarket comes my way 😂 Very nice thought, a bit dark. I hope it doesn't get in the way of seeing the good fighting scenes

Okay but THIS

IS PLAIN CURSED, PLAIN BALD HEADS😱😱😱 Well I'm guessing Tommy doesn't have excuses anymore to become a LEGO character 😂

Well Murt, that was one breathtaking story, you should be a storyteller 👍

Ah, there we go, with the Jay and Nya and queen situation 😒 It's not that bad really, considering I thought it was going to be just a weak way to include Jay with just another triangle. It didn't last long so that's kinda fine, but it is annoying that Nya is pushed away. But overall better than I expected

Also it is nice the reminder that she is his yang 💙❤💙❤

And they are still adorable 😂😂 I like that you can tell immediately here who's the strong one of the couple 😎😎

So there is a drawing of the Millie Gillie guy/gal on that wall, huh... was I in the wrong about that being Cole's mom? I thought they said she, but English is not my first language so I could be wrong 🤷‍♀️

Ninja Jay could be the new Kai Ninjago 😂

Aww, that part with the lightning and the crystals was so pretty 🤩🤩

And there we go with the confrontation 😛 I did snorted seeing Jay kinda offended at Nya not wanting to fight for him, but she is still super adorable saying that they belong 💕💕 Also Lloyd just being there trying to calm everyone down, le poor baby 😂😂

Yep, the fire instinct kicking in, Nya is the daughter of Ray after all 🤷‍♀️

AND SHE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS WITH THE ARMOR 🤩🤩

Oh, apparently the queen of munce can do spin dash 😱

Woooo, that preparation for the spinjitzu was so cool 🤩 And of course she kicked the HECK out of her, THAT'S MY GIRL!!!

And now she's the queen, great, more problems to come 😅 We'll see how this plays out, and I am kinda curious to see queen Nya at work ☺

Not my favorite episode, but still enjoyable, let's keep getting better and better!

So... WHERE IS MY FLAME BABE?!? ❤

TRIAL BY MINO

THERE HE IS 😍😍😍

I don't know if it's because it's a very obvious but convenient thing to do or I just love Kai THAT much, but I love when there's dark and he just lights up his hand. Idk, I just think it's neat 🙂

There're the Geckos! They are cute too 💜 Also chanting about the Millie Gillie guy, I'm still convinced that's just Cole's mom! Also I'm kinda guessing the Skull Sorcerer is the king of Shintaro. He is the most suspicious for now, we'll see how it goes 🤷‍♀️

Poor Kai got the awful thing in his mouth... AND HAIR!!! Look out sweetie, your beautiful chocolaty hair!! 😱

OMG ZANE CALLING OUT KAI ABOUT HIS BLABBERING AS HE DOESN'T HAS A SKELETON 😂😂 I laughed too much at it, I'm sorry Tin Can 😅

Again

Really like the crystal vibe 😍 This one is blue, the other was green, is there a reason?

I missed Kai and Zane together, I missed anyone with Zane in general! It's always a nice contrast and always amusing, especially if hotheadTM is involved 💕

So they throw rocks to show approval, I'm loving this society for some reasons 😂

Okay, vengestone is literally everywhere, there is no way all this stuff was not on purpose. It would make sense that a place studied to weaken an elemental master was meant for something more. Wooooo, ROCK MOM ROCK MOM 🖤🖤🖤

Awwww, I don't know why but them acknowledging the elemental masters is super satisfying 💜

Oh so Kai is not a king, he's a chancellor... and he didn't want to 😂😂 Vincent definitely had fun voicing this episode 👌

Okay, so there are three explorers involved? I'm guessing the muscular one in the trailer was one of them. I wonder what will be their part in the story 🤔

Poor Kai, his encouragement speeches used to be the key of convincing, here it's harder. Let's see how they will deal with this... also how Kai will react with queen Nya of the munce 😂

Pff, Zane throwing the rock of encouragement, that was so adorable 🤍

I really missed these two ❤🤍❤🤍

THE SKULL SORCERER

Seriously, even talking to herself and thinking about the worst situations like Bluebell? If Cole and Vania do end up together, I'll still hold onto the fact that Rocky is into the loquatious type 😂😂

Okay, a sweet princess' paranoia towards a little white cute dragon named Chompy?

One of the cutest thing ever seen 😍 Also I am a firm believer that everything improves if you put a dragon into it, another reason why I love Ninjago so much 🤍🤍🤍

Pff, seeing Vania talking about call then the cut on the black ninja makes me think about that one vine with the guy hanging with his phone saying "Yeah I'm okay mom, bye (phone down)... I AM NOT OKAY!!" 😂

SOLO MOMENT WITH COLE!!! Freaking yes, and it looks like the little tic of talking to himself when stressed from March of the Oni got stuck 🙃🙃

Lava punches back! Big bad bats!! Spiders!!... wait- AAAHHH 😱

Okay, forgive my skepticism when I doubt that a simple spider web could stop one of the strongest ninja of the team. We needed Vania to the rescue, alright, still sounds a little easy but eh watcha gonna do 🤷‍♀️

SHE HAS HER HAIR DOWN!!! SHE LOOKS STUNNING!!! Golden hair girl 💛💛

And Chompy is a big good boy 🤩

CALLED IT!!! CALLED IT FOR THE KING!!!... I mean it was kinda obvious 😅 Still, happy I thought about it before it actually happened. Although it's curious that the reveal happens now, halfway there, unlike in Prime Empire where it took almost all the season to build up the reveal. What's left for the finale?... ROCK MOM?!?!

There's a customer for all that vengestone? That... actually makes a lot of sense. Anyone who is against the ninja would want it really, and that only considering past villains. And if we think about possible elemental masters coming back, uuuhhh, I like where this is going!!

YOU CANNOT HURT A BABY DRAGON IN THIS SHOW AND NOT PAY I HOPE YOU GET THE WORST DEATH/DEFEAT OF ALL THE FRANCHISE 👿👿👿

Wait, so they don't naturally have wings? Oh, that's why she didn't have them in the trailer, I see 🤔

This is probably the only moment when I think they rushed a bit. Not too much, I iust feel like we haven't seen enough of Vania and her father to truly feel that decision moment as fundamental. Still cool, still intense, but kinda light. Anyway GO PRINCESS GO!!! 💕💕

THE REAL FALL

Oh Garmadon... that title... *flashbacks The Fall while realizing this is indeed Cole's season* NOT AGAIN 😱😱😱

I mean they are already falling so... uh, let's see how it goes

HE EVEN FRAMED CHOMPY HE MUST DIE SO HARD 😡👿😡👿

Okay the fall here is actually kind of hilarious 😂 Or is it because I love that Kirby gets to be on the center of the attention and he is giving his all? Idk, I love all the voice actors of the show really 🤷‍♀️

Hey, you people watching this

Am I the only one getting emotional here?? 😢 ... just me, huh 😅 I mean come on, it's Cole and Wu! The first leader and the sensei! The used to be dad and his son Cole Jr.! I headcanon that Cole was the first to arrive at the monastery and this feels like the old times... EMOTIONAL PEOPLE

Lol, sensei taking the time to compliment Vania about her behavior, he's gonna adopt her when this is over 😂

I mean, you kinda faced worst yes, you fell into the Underworld on dragons you used to be afraid of, you fell from a ship with an anchor, you fell into a junk compactor that almost squashed you against your rival now best friend, you fell from SPACE towards THE EARTH, you fell from a ladder... THE LADDER COLE 😱😱😱 (this fangirl will never recover from that)

Aaaand a giant web. Of course. Classic Ninjago lack of luck right there 👈👈

Clutch Powers still lives 😂

Okay, seriously? She freaks out when things gets out of hand and talks about staying calm by making vocal exercises! Freaking, it might be me trying to find an excuse to think about Bruise, but they are making it a little too easy for me 🖤💙🖤💙

I am kinda loving her being so genuine, Idk, I really like Vania. She does her best 👍

Falling > Dying, life lessons by your master of Earth 😎 Wu sounds so done, they can never go anywhere without something crazy like this happening 🤣

Why is this so funny, the sequel of The Fall shouldn't be 😂 Meh, not complaining

That was one very mad Lapras

YES THANK YOU SENSEI!!! Finally he acknowledged it, Cole is literally surrounded by his element, OF COURSE he is crazy strong in here. I needed this scene, heck yeah, I love elemental powers 🖤

Oh they must be the explorers... Merlin, Assassin's Creed and Conan the Barbarian 😅 So we hit rock bottom, literally apparently, and one of the spider's name is Adam... OKAY

So the real fall was in fact Cole falling asleep for the shock 😂 Lol if Cole and Vania really don't end up together, I can joke and say that in this season Cole has never fell harder 😉😉

This was very amusing, I liked this episode, I would rewatch it only for the comments 😂 I'm curious to see what else will happen, especially with these three now involved! Who are they?

KenHina angst no one asked for

Do people even still read Haikyuu fanfiction??? Idk

Anyways I was rewatching season 2 and it became abundantly clear that Kenma is very gay for Hinata but Hinata is very VERY gay for Kageyummy so it's completely one sided and it HURTS IT HURTS A LOT.

Anyways have some KenHina angst.

***

I don't care.

Oh, but he did, it was all he could care about, it occupied his mind completely, everywhere he went, everything he did, it was there, hovering in the back of his mind like a shadow. It was there.

Kenma hugged his pillow a little tighter, hoping the image of Hinata would go away if he squeezed his eyes shut, repeatedly telling himself he didn't care. He didn't care that Hinata was such a good volleyball player, he didn't care that he had gotten so close to Kageyama, he didn't care that Hinata was kind and attractive and funny, he didn't care about how bright his smile was when he spiked the ball or how excited he was when there was a particularly difficult opponent in front of him, he didn't care about how he would text back immediately regardless of how late it was, and he really didn't care about the way he called his name after they hadn't seen each other in a while, and he certainly didn't care that Hinata didn't feel the same way about him.

Absolutely not.

Kenma bit his lip, trying to think of anything else besides Hinata, literally anything at all, maybe even try to fall asleep since he hadn't gotten a solid couple of hours in ever since the training camp had ended, which Kenma had decided was ridiculous. Why did he care so much anyways--

No. I don't care. I don't.

Kenma sighed and rolled over onto his back, still hugging his pillow close, thinking about school, the movie trailer he had seen on tv, the new toss Kuroo wanted to try out, the homework he decided to put off, the new game he has just bought a few days ago, Hinata's smile, the way he waved goodbye to him when he left. The thought put a smile on his face, though Kenma was quick to remove it.

He shouldn't have fallen for Hinata, they were rivals, they lived in different cities, completely different people, different interests, different hobbies, different likes and dislikes, and yet...He was so perfect.

I don't care, I don't care.

Kenma searched his mind for anything else he could think of, even going so far to bring up embarrassing things he did in junior high, which worked! For a second anyways. Soon enough though Kenmas ran out of things to think about, he had nothing left to distract himself from the fact that he did care, he cared a lot.

When Hinata saw how close him and Kageyama were he was jealous, when he saw him do that new quick attack he felt his heart skip a beat, when he asked Kenma if he had eaten enough or gotten enough sleep he was happy someone had asked, when he left Tokyo he was sad to see him go, and when Hinata and him stayed up late on the phone the other night and Hinata talked about how he thinks he likes Kageyama he cared.

He cared more than anything, in that moment he felt his heart break, he felt tears prick his eyes as Hinata giggled softly and apologized for talking about something so embarrassing, he cried when Hinata hung up, he pulled his pillow close and wished things were different, he tried thinking about all sorts of other things, he tried convincing himself that he didn't care, but somehow the thought of Hinata came back.

And he did care.
