#ive only seen about 9 episodes of season 3

[kari-go]

What potential did you think canon Adrien had that was squandered when you quit watching in early season 3? What could canon have done better to make you care about him? Is there any overlap with your original salt au?

They could've done so much but did nothing. There was the conflict with Lila, with Marinette and Adrien teaming up together to do something. It would've made the love square stronger, with them becoming friends and trusting each other. There could've been so many Adrinette moments!

Also, Gabriel, his dad, is Hawkmoth AKA THE MAIN VILLAIN. And there's nothing for basically the entire series.

They could've had Adrien bond with Master Fu, it's kinda unfair that Marinette knew so much more and Adrien basically didn't know about his existence (I think he already knew about him in season 3 but there was no content of them, I think?). This would've been a good way to put in some lore, something about Emilie, Adrien noticing the weirdness about her death, or something about past holders and the miraculous in general. This also could've helped Ladynoir, with them bonding over their miraculous and their kwamis.

Just making Lila a bigger threat (and smarter, because she is so so dumb) would've made the show better or at least interesting.

I'm honestly not sure? I think he was always uninteresting to me,,, I used to read a lot of LS fanfictions because it was clearly endgame and the main ship and I think that's just where my interest in him ended. I cared about him because he was associated with Marinette.. I remember being kinda confused as to why everyone was obsessed with him xd So I honestly don't know, but I guess just having a bigger role in the story would've helped.

No, in basically everything. And I'm really happy about that.

[olberic]

ranking anime i’ve watched in 2023:

as expected, here’s this year’s top 10 for how much i personally enjoyed the anime i’ve watched this year. ive watched more than this, but god i watched so many bad ones…. even number 10 sucks but everything else was worse. sad!

as always thank u gifmakers for ur service 🫡 the world would be nothing without u all

10. the legendary hero is dead! (2023)

dont watch this show. it sucks and its bad. hey. come here. hold my hand. now lets just watch and enjoy the OP ok? don't worry about the rest.

9. my daughter left the nest and returned as an s-rank adventurer (2023)

i have to admit this show charmed me. its not the best thing ive ever seen but its nice. comfy. yknow? i haven't finished it but it's enjoyable. can't rank it higher until i finish it

8. sabikui bisco (2022)

if it werent for the positively nonsensical jump in the middle of the show and the way theres just like. a lot of gaps? it’d rank higher. it’s a very cool premise for a show and i like the bisco/milo dynamic, and [SISTER] is fun as hell. it didnt wow me though overall, and while i enjoyed it i was hoping for more.

7. trigun stampede (2023)

im sorry trigun stans i simply didnt love it. i see the appeal i really do but it just didnt hook me. i really liked the animation and the storyline. im intrigued by whatever the fuck is going on with those plants and yall have said theres a tallgirl in the next season? so i’ll keep watching. i just didnt love it

6. that time i got reincarnated as a slime (2019-2021)

in contrast to #7, i can see why this show is weak HOWEVER i just enjoyed it. i like it. huge fan of how much gender the protag has. i love how they get new powers. i enjoy that it can be interpreted as an extremely bisexual show. it was well paced and the slime diaries OVA was a great addition. a lot of the characters really stuck with me too and its like. idk. one of my favourite isekais i guess

5. buddy daddies (2023)

this should rank higher. its so fun. its SO fun. its silly and it doesnt take itself seriously. i laughed in every episode. the dynamic between the guys is great. the dynamics between them and the kid is great. just a really solid show if you can stand the queerbaiting. i dont even care

4. bocchi the rock! (2022)

the bocchi side of tumblr is right this show rules. i like how real bocchi’s social anxiety feels (literally how it felt when i had it). the characters are entertaining, the show’s well done, they even have solid music (which band-based shows dont always do right!). its really funny and its really earnest and its a joy to watch

3. demon slayer: swordsmith village arc (2023)

i included the entertainment district arc in last year’s list so this arc makes the cut. im always late getting around to watch the new stuff and i dont want to read the manga but god DAMN does this show hit different. incredible fight scenes. i loved everything they did for the hashira backstories. i love whatever the fuck is up with genya. it even gave me some akaza to sustain me for the next year or whatever. ik this show gets overhyped but its normal hyped. to me.

2. frieren: beyond journey's end (2023)

oughhh frieren… ive only known this show for a few months but it means to much to me… i dont even wanna talk about it because its so good i just wanna watch it again. go watch frieren if you havent already its anime of the decade. to me

1. gundam: the witch from mercury (2022-2023)

ive never seen a gundam before but i will be watched them after this! what can be said about it that hasnt already been said on this site. the romance storyline is impeccable, the fights are awesome, the moral questions it posed were excellently covered. by the end of the first episode i was speechless. by the end of the last episode i'd cried like 4 times over the course of the show. this thing made me cry to happy birthday. what the fuck

#t #i dont main tag these on principle but i do want to find these later so im using my tag system. sorry main tag browsers #tensura #buddy daddies #bocchi #kny #frieren #gundam

Top 10 isekai?

okay since nobody ever sets the parameters for what sort of top 10 theyre looking for, im going to do it for you. in this list, we will be looking at emily's personal favorites, not any sort of objective criteria or anything else. this is just things i personally liked and thought were good. additionally, we will not be looking at any pseudo-isekai OR any legally-isekai (i.e., no shows that are by genre an isekai but no other world plot is involved (like danmachi), or shows that involve an other world plot but are not within the isekai genre (like the wizard of oz)). We will only be looking at True Isekais, shows which fit the isekai formula and also heavily involve characters from another world. This DOES include voluntary game isekais like bofuri and most of sword art online. and now, without further ado, i present to you emily's definitive top 10 isekai list, subject to change as more isekai come out!

10. GATE: Yes, i know this one is just JSDF propaganda and an excuse to beat off over modern military equipment, but i just really love to see rory mercury kill people and lick blood. its very easy to rewatch and in the isekai genre, theres much worse shit you could consume.

9. Overlord: overlord is the longest running show on this list by far, so quality is not always consistent. but i do enjoy that the plot is "japanese salaryman gets peer pressured into world domination by his friends' OCs". the show really shines when it steers away from him, though, because the characters in the world who aren't wildly overpowered are generally pretty good and interesting! even if shit gets pretty dark for them.

8. Fabiniku (Life with an Ordinary Guy who Reincarnated as a Total Fantasy Knockout): fabiniku is good. it's fun to watch that girl realise shes a girl, and its fun to watch that guy realise hes actually into her. i want a second season. the most valid het romance in anime.

7. Hamefura (My Next Life as a Villainess): catarina claes is the dumbest bisexual on earth. shes so fun. i wish the show let her kiss the girls instead of the boy and the egg. but its fine, i know in my heart the true endgame is the heroine.

6. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear: This one is just really casual and really cute. a girl dressed as a bear fucks around in another world. theres not really anything more to say about it. shes a good girl and the show kind of refuses to sexualise her, which is nice.

5. Arifureta (From Commonplace to World's Strongest): this one is very much a guilty pleasure. its cringe as hell and edgy as hell and very unnecessarily horny but god do i love it. it doesnt try to lampshade the cringy aspects or tone them down, it just kinda owns them and thats very good for me. i love edgy cringy chuuni bullshit.

4. Reincarnated as a Sword: this is a show about the world's cutest baby catgirl who has violence and killing in her heart. the fight scenes are surprisingly well animated for isekai, my sweet daughter is a joy to watch, and its like. just a good show.

3. Virgin Road (Executioner and her Way of Life): this show has like. some of my absolute favorite dynamics on earth. menou's absolute dedication to her cause juxtaposed with her growing love of akari. momo's writhing hatred of the whole world and everyone in it held at bay by her love of menou. akari's desperation to die at the hands of her love despite her inability to do so. the warrior princess who just wants to fight. oh my god. genuinely one of the best casts ive ever seen. i love them all so much. Very yuri

2. Eminence in Shadow: okay so hear me out. this is one of the most wild shows ever released. absolutely DEDICATED to the bit. takes itself extremely seriously, to hilarious effect. forgot for about 8 episodes that it could sexualise the female characters and then remembered halfway through and overcompensated. the main character has NO interest in anything except for pretending to be Extremely Normie in public, and leading a double life as the most overpowered chuuni character ever created. they changed the name of a character in the last 30 seconds of the entire show and then the credits show her new name. its like. an absolutely wild ride and DEFINITELY not for everybody. but god what a show. weeb ass shit rating of 10/10/10. i loved it. cant wait for s2.

1. No Game No Life: frankly, another 10/10/10. no game no life is, in my opinion, the most perfectly executed version of the overpowered protagonist trope. the main characters say at almost every opportunity that they will not and cannot lose. but by god they are the most sad wet dog type characters on earth. you know in your heart that they'll win, sure, but the stakes and the tension and the characters' inability to be fucking normal keeps you wondering if they might actually lose after all. possibly my favorite thing, as ive talked about before on this blog, is the fact that like, the main character is super jaded and doesnt trust others, but he's possessed of an indomitable belief in humanity that i wish to god i could have. and thats like, such a pervasive theme of the show, is the potential of humanity. i really appreciate that. anyway, this was fuckin, 2013 or something, so be warned that there's some uncomfortable sexualisation of a young girl. but if that doesnt bother you, its definitely a good show!

[sitcom-thoughts]

just watched episode 9 of only murders in the building!!

oh my goodness was it an action packed one lol, lets talk about it

spoilers for Only Murders in the Building season 3 under the cut!

I WAS RIIIIGGHHTTTT YEEESSSSS I CALLED IT SO EARLY ON AND I WAS RIGHT!!! now that my celebration is out of the way, i will explain: i called it that in the footage of Ben speaking to someone in his dressing room, he wasn't actually speaking to a person but to a cookie that he knew he wasn't supposed to eat. i fucking knew it dude. For reference of how early i knew this, i have attached a picture of my episode four notes for proof (sorry about the handwriting), and a link to this post where i mention it.

Now that my bragging is out of the way lol, lets talk the rest of the ep.

It seems Donna is the killer?? idk if im fully on board yet, i'm gonna stick with my guesses of maybe Loretta, Kimber, and Dickie but the show is really breaking down my confidence on those answers lol

i simply did not see the sewing circle thing coming, very out of left field but i have done some sewing in my time and it is enjoyable (when your sewing machine cooperates with you of course, it is a beautiful and temperatmental creature). One of the ladies played Madame Gao in the Daredevil TV show, I recognised her immediately.

i think thats all i have to say right now, it is late at night and playing Crash Bandicoot for many hours fried my brain so im having trouble thinking lol

before i start the last ep im gonna make a post with my definitive predictions and then go from there. im sad for it to be over but i can always go back and rewatch, its been a while since ive seen the first season. besides, there's a world full of murder mystery <3

Ok im a teeensy bit late to Heartstopper s2 coming out (no pun intended) but i just binged the whole thing and Wow.

After s1 last year I had really high expectations for season two and it did NOT disappoint

I tried not to keep it too spoilery lol ⬇️

First of all the recap was really enjoyable with all the cast members and i watched the whole thing even though i was all caught up. Usually recaps are just a bunch of important scenes from the last season but i really liked what they did!

After last season i really did want to see more of the side characters, Issac in particular. I feel like season 1 mostly focused of the relationship between Nick and Charlie but season 2 had all these side storylines that gave so much more depth to the side characters.

One of my favourites was Imogen getting explored more with her friendship with Nick and her relationship with Ben. In season 1 i didnt really care for her, but now i think she's definitely one of my top three characters, the others being Elle and Darcy

And can we talk about Darcy?? The ending of episode 9 and throughout 10 they showed how her relationship with her mum was.

I think it was really important to show that because Heartstopper is a show about queerness, and while i love that all if not most of the other characters have supportive parents, it's important to show that not every queer experience has that. I didn't, and i really empathized with Darcy right then.

Another thing about Darcy, the birthday present she gave Tara was actually iconic. Love that for her <3

And Charlie's parents make an appearance

Charlie's parents' reaction to him telling them about Nick was kind of surprising tbh, i thought they'd be more happy for him.

Im so glad his family got to meet Nick's, and that scene where Nick told off his dad really just. Hit in the heart. He really doesn't give a fuck anymore and that's amazing.

It was also really satisfying to see Tori kick David for saying that stuff about Charlie lol

I loved the scene of Tara's birthday. It just felt really fun. And Nick gathering the courage to come out to everyone!! It got a bit awkward, but I'm really proud of him for that <3

Elle and Tao have happened!! I really loved seeing Elle so happy and successful, getting accepted to Lambert. When she came out in her prom dress she looked so pretty i just wanted to go into the screen and hug her. It's just so liberating to see another trans person so happy. My dysphoria's been really bad lately, mostly because of me being sent to a religious school. It's comforting to know i might be her one day. Seeing trans rep on screen is just. Fuck i love her sm.

That last scene had me crying actual tears. I don't wanna say too much bc im trying not to spoil too much!! But wow. That hit so much harder than any seasin finale ive seen before, except maybe The Good Place. Im so happy to see Charlie overcome all his past traumas and be so happy. Because I used to do that too. And i can really resonate with Charlie, because I also got past that. And those last few frames dude??? Fuck. Yes. I've come to love Charlie so much. And i just. Yeah.

I could go on abt Heartstopper forever lol. I hope s2 hits the media as hard as s1 did. And season 3 is official!!! September 2024, only a year from now. The actors have done amazing, and im so looking forward to s3!!!

10 Anti LO Asks

(Note: All of these asks are before episode 206 (Season 2 finale) so some may be dated.) 1. ok but I love Rachel spent the latter half of 2021 being like ooooh Kronos is coming back!! this is a big deal!! only to timeskip ten years and NOTHING happened. like wow even Kronos isn't a big deal when it comes to how totally not pathetic Persephone is as a 30+ year old doing no work and only being obsessed with a guy she knew for a month. literal masterclass in awful writing. It's almost impressive how bad it is.

2. Deadass I don't even get why RS is like oh yeh nymphs and other creatures should be second class citizens but they're also all "trash" and thus its good and even encouraged to abuse and mistreat them. like yeah that's what was missing, racism where the marginalized group are evil and "deserve" to be abused and mistreated by those with all the power over them. THAT's what mythology was so sorely missing.  jfc. I know a lot of the WT staff are white people and so is Rachel but wtf???

3. It's quite funny how a woman old enough to be my mother cannot draw or write worth shit and there are literal teenagers on this website who are a thousand times the artist and writer she could ever hope to be.

4. This isn’t me trying to be mean but like, why is everything from the book covers to the official merch so ,.. cheap looking? Like these are supposed professionals, not Rachel, doing it, yet they’re still so poorly designed and crafted. It doesn’t help the images Rachel gives time to work with are all in the rushed, ugly style now either 😪

5. I just find it funny that every time an LO fan or even WT promotes it its like ... they ONLY use art from the first 10-ish episodes at best. Like yall, that was over four years ago, why aren't you using current art to be more accurate? Like it's kinda telling on themselves they know the quality declined rapidly after the first few months but are like "just ignore that! look at this three good panels from 2018!"

6. I HATE those panels where RS tries to be anatomically correct to IRL humans and its like omg they look even worse (and are still wildly wrong anyway?? She cannot draw heads to save her life for real). Like lady just work within your stylization, there's a reason people picked up your work off what it used to be versus what it is now.

7. this isnt necessarily LO based but I do find it crazy how people like RS and her fans viewed the original hymn like ugh Demeter is such a bitch why wouldnt she be happy Hades married her daughter like .... you guys are aware ancient brides tended to be married at 14, right? maybe that's why Demeter was pissed and creeped out by him. They're so blinded by their fantasy of this "perfect Hades" that never existed over the truth of a mother defending her literal CHILD.

8. Zeus is objectively the only hot man on cast because he actually has a personality, fashion sense, and pretty hair meanwhile Hades just looks like a dusty old man with zero drip and a million and one red flags 🫣

9. "This style of story telling" what style? just lying and making everything up to where it matches nothing in mythology? my god, she's so concerned over looking like a clever writer who has everything planned out and knows more than anyone else (including actual greeks??? ma'am) over actually telling a decent story. ive never seen someone so self conscious about being perceived as a "real writer" before.

10. Why even use mythology when you won't keep any of the stories true to how they were, change all the relationships, and just make up whatever else instead? At that point just go "this was inspired by the greek myths" and use your own OCs, not claiming you're telling an accurate story with a ton of research put into it. Rachel really just wants to have her cake and eat it too, huh?

[doppelnatur]

youve convinced me. drop Star Trek recs what do i watch (ive been told to avoid the movies? are they bad lol)

Ok I've not seen all of trek, I've mainly seen ds9, tos and tng so I'm only gonna talk about those.

I think ds9 (deep space 9) is like. The most Genuinely Good show out of all the ones I've seen. I'd just start from the beginning and watch it all but if you aren't ready to commit to 7 seasons of queer antics with a seasoning of war time baseball (unrelatable but ok?) The best episode of ds9 and probably the best episode in all of trek is the one directed by Avery Brooks (the actor of Sisko) "far beyond the stars" (my icon is Fanart of that episode specifically) you can totally watch it as a stand alone💕 heavy Triggerwarning for racism, police murder and brutality, and institutionalization. To be clear the episode isn't racist, it depicts racism, specifically anti black racism. Maybe more light-hearted fun is "bar association" where quarks employees unionize. I think a few people have said ds9 only starts to be good in like season 3? I don't think that's true it's very good from the start and i do recommend watching it from the start.

The movies are a good time if you wanna put something on with friends and get drunk tbh! Wrath of Khan is also the only Moby Dick adaptation I've ever seen and it's such a classic. Like it sucks but it's also very good. And the whale movie (journey home) is genuinely a banger of a movie!

In general TOS (the original series) I wouldn't really recommend unless you're already kind of sold on star trek. It's beautiful, it's strange, it's homosexual, it's DEEPLY sexist. But there are some very fun episodes and it's the ideal show to put on while painting your nails. It kind of starts being a strong show in the second season, Amok Time ofc being a classic (but an odd episode to start with) The Changeling I think is a good episode that shows what tos is like from it's best side and fairly representative, and mirror mirror is the way better than average episode where the mirror verse is introduced which is very cool. I also like doomsday machine and the devil in the dark! Devil in the dark is one of the last episodes of the first season so maybe a good place to start from? Tho you wouldn't wanna miss The Naked Time!!! Tos is a banger of a show it's just very 60s.

TNG (the next generation) is kind of hit or miss and starts off slow but it has like the best horror episodes out of all of star trek I'd say. Absolutely will HAUNT you, scarier than most actual horror shows. Schisms is... An episode of a Nice Family Show FOR SURE :))))) Frame of mind also fucked me up.. idk man just. TNG. Geordi and Data are so lovely and then Fucked Up Shit happens.. For sure.

Both TNG and TOS are very "it's trekking time", ds9 being a space station treks very little. It's less of a star trek than a star kinky war time sex. Hope this helpss have funnn!!!

#gif #i don't usually put gifs but i found this gem of a worf gif and I couldn't resist adding more #(the roller coaster one) #theyre all really fun. I'm enjoying voyager too so far Janeway's voice is so nice! I've heard good things about the new animated show also! #the new movies idk I liked them when I was 11 and haven't seen them since. but I thought they were pretty gay back then and I didn't even #know I was gay or what gay meant so like. i think that's in the spirit of the show #something else that's cool about ds9 is that the aliens are allistic but the humans are autistic. like bashir and Sisko? #pure unrestrained autism #quark has allism but in a way that's so sexy? #oh I guess worf brings the alien autism rep

misc thoughts about my winx club au

so i wanna ramble about some loose ideas for this cause ive been ruminating on it for a long while.

first is that roxy isnt a believix fairy in this. she gets her base form (which im working on) and shes going to alfea and will be the new 'main character' of this au. debating on if i wanna kinda racebend her into being mixed (like ngl i thought she was supposed to be half asian when i was younger but that wasnt true lol, this is an au tho so ill do whatever i want).

the OG 6 winx will be moving on with their adult lives (and in this idea theyll get like movies in this idea to tell more stories about them, but its not in the main continuity ig).

roxy is the fairy of animals, but really shes really only good with domesticated land animals at this point and struggles with wild land animals (like dogs are domesticated even if theyre feral while like, wolves are wild even if theyre tame). isnt that good with birds and def not great with sea creatures. yknow im really trying to think how roxy can grown in understanding of her powers and i think this is an easy way to do that. shed also probably struggles with certain animals in the magical dimension for various reasons.

roxy is in a room with 5 other girls but she really only becomes close friends with 2 of them, brianna from callisto and zari from dolona. the other 3 are just around not really involved, they arent mean or rude to the other 3.

brianna would be the fairy of art, though i havent quite figured out how that works out. and zari would be the fairy of paper (okay listen LISTEN if youve seen the papermasters from read or die, or kubo and the 2 strings its like that i just dont know what to call it).

this is gonna be a 26 ep season, so the first 9 eps would be focusing on roxy, brianna, and zari learning things (things we didnt see with the OG 6) and becoming close friends and taking the name Winx Club for themselves.

then theyd meet 2 witches. agatha from solaria and lana from andros. agatha is the witch of sweets and lana is the witch of the deep. i want to have some witches in the new group because im tired of witches only being viewed as evil, lol.

the remaining 17 eps will be about the group getting to know each other, their powers, and becoming close friends. theres no big bad for this...1st season. its very episodic and focused on character development and more worldbuilding.

then season 2 of this little au would essentially be season 5 which, from memory, had been about andros and environmentalism, 26 episodes again.

its be focused on roxy and lana mostly in the development department i think, i think theyre powers and the fact that lana is from andros. aisha and flora will show up a bit later in the season.

im not writing stuff, just throwing out ideas. this post is really long so ill make another post about the magic and stuff and transformations later on.

Going to be getting a new phone and also....idk i havent made any big plans but i look forward to the little moments of joy and indulgence that will come. 20.What’s something you learned this year?

Oh man i was just stoked to visit Tasmania and see friends! I need to travel more bcs i love seeing new places. 23.If you could send a message to yourself back on the first day of the year, what would it be? Do not catastrophise when someone upsets you. Just sleep on it and then act. People sometimes are stupid and thoughtless,not secretly malicious. 24.Did you keep any New Year’s Resolutions? I usually have a few and some years i end up completing them, other years i dont. This year my only resolution is to comment on people's art more. Thats fucken it. 25.Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one. Many actually bcs aside from various ocs, i run some trp games where i make 10+ npcs for. I guess one would be Winnie an npc i made for a game who i put so little thought in. Like i needed a character to fullfill a certain role so i recycled an old oc design and gave her like 2 personalty traits. Then though as we played, we all ended up liking her way more than id planned so anyway now she's in the queue to be an upcoming pc for a dnd campaign (with a slight redesign)

Madame Nu, the stereotypical archivist of the Jedi Temple in the "Clone Wars" animation [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

Looking at "Lightsaber Lost"

Moving onto a later episode in the series. There is only a small mention of the Jedi Archives and Madame Nu in this episode, as most of it is about Ahsoka trying to get the lightsaber back from a thief, helped by an older Jedi who was sleeping in the archives at the beginning of the episode. Again, like Fini's writing in Holocron Heist, Drew Z. Greenberg, a writer who got a political science degree from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) and a law degree from Santa Clara University School of Law, confuses archives and libraries yet again. Yikes!

Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally posted on Aug. 3, 2020.

This leads to a number of questions. For one, the fact that an older user of archives helps Ahsoka is the only one we as viewers see in the archives, does this imply that users of the archives are old people? If so, that's laughable and a silly stereotype to say the least which needs to be debunked.

Looking at "Assassin"

Moving into the third season of the animated show, this episode, like Lightsaber Lost, this episode only briefly mentions the archives with Madame Nu almost seen as a sort of "motherly figure," yet another stereotype. Couldn't the writer of this episode, Katie Lucas, have done better? The 1.85 million people who watched this episode were further done a disservice.

And are Jedi anti-intellectual? Because Ahsoka seems that way. If her sentiment is that widespread among the Jedi, perhaps it explains why the archives is basically deserted every time we see it in the past episodes mentioned in this post and in Attack of the Clones.

Despite these downsides, this episode is interesting, although the parts focusing on archives are an utter mess.

Looking at "The Lost One"

This episode comes three seasons later in Season 6. Madame Nu explains the records that the Jedi Archives has on Sifo-Dyas, the Jedi Master said to have authorized the creation of the clone army, with the Sith trying to cover up their plan to, ultimately, kill the Jedi:

And that's it. She gets no other mention in the episode. Christian Taylor, who wrote this episode, gives her perhaps a better role than the other episodes, but still, she is a bit a stereotype in and of herself.

P.S. I also realized that in Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan revises a record of some sort in the Jedi Archives, although we do not see Madame Nu, as she is presumed dead of course.

© 2022 Burkely Hermann. All rights reserved.

Notes

[1] According to Wookiepedia, Madame Nu is mentioned in the following comics: Star Wars: Purge: Seconds to Die (with Vader killing her because she won't give him access to the archives!, although this is part of the expanded universe, with other comics being considered "canon"), A New Dawn (book), Kanan 7: First Blood, Part I: The Corridors of Coruscant, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 6: The Chosen One, Part VI, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 7: The Dying Light, Part I, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 8: The Dying Light, Part II, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 9: The Dying Light, Part III, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 10: The Dying Light, Part IV, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 11: The Rule of Five, Part I, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 12: The Rule of Five, Part II, and Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 25: Fortress Vader, Part VII.

[2] She also appears in a cut scene from one episode, R2 Come Home, where she "warns Ahsoka of the Temple alert status."

P.S.S. There are a number of other mentions of archives and libraries, like in "The Hidden Enemy" when Anakin and Obi-Wan fight Asajj Ventress in a library of some kind, "Cargo of Doom" (S2, e2) when Anakin speaks of returning the stolen holocron to the "library" (should actually be the Jedi Archives). There's also fights over records in "Senate Spy" (S2, e4), "Children of the Force" (S2, e3), "Downfall of a Droid" (S1, e6), and "Duel of the Droids" (S1, e7).

In this blog , you will learn about the team’s favourite movies, why they enjoy working in the video production industry, and a little bit more about their career background! Lotty Wiltshaw , Director, formed Shot Blast Media in 2012 with one purpose in mind: to produce corporate videos that would go above and beyond a simple portrayal of what her clients do.

Lotty is always looking for a new city or country to explore, taking in the scenery, enjoying the food and getting involved with the local arts and music, as well as spending quality time with her family. What is your favourite film? My favourite film is Shawshank Redemption. It’s a fantastic story. Very moving with compelling characters and sends out a message of hope. Well written, well acted and well filmed too. All round perfect movie in my eyes. What do you like about working in the video production industry? We get to tell lots of stories, our own and other peoples whilst getting behind the scenes of businesses and seeing things we don’t often get to see. That’s exciting! Steph Taylor , Sales & Business Development Manager, has more than 14 years of experience working across sales and business development in a variety of large corporations, such as Experian and Virgin Pulse. Steph joined Shot Blast Media in 2023, and works towards promoting our video production packages and other popular video services. What is your favourite film? My favourite film is Shawshank redemption because the story is gripping yet heartwarming. The main character alongside Morgan Freeman works so well and I love a happy ending. I do enjoy a good underdog story so my second favourite is Erin Brockovich. What do you like about working in the video production industry? Early days into my experience here at SBM, I enjoy supporting companies to bring their products and culture to life via video production. Video’s tell the story so well, bringing creativity and personality together. Short, snappy and engaging!!

He has been working with Shot Blast Media for the past 6 years, bringing to life every client brief, from script to screen projects of all shapes and sizes. What is your favourite film? I hate this question! So lets put a spin on it, what’s the 1 desert island disc I would take… The Simpsons Season 5. The peak of the golden era! I’ve seen all these episodes countless times, the opening 5 episodes are all 10/10, it’s hard to find another 5 in a row this good. Homer’s Barbershop Quartet, Cape Feare, Homer Goes to College, Rosebud and the best, Treehouse of Horror IV, including the segment Terror at 5 and half feet, where a Gremlin attacks the school bus. This was the inspiration for a short film I made with a puppet and CGI Gremlin a few years ago called Turn Around When Possible, which had over 2 million views. Go check it out! This series also includes my favourite all time episode. Boy Scoutz ‘n the Hood. I could recite the entire script for you if you wanted. It’s just one hilarious gag after another. Homer is in fine form. GET ME 700 KRUSTY BURGERS! The Simpsons in general has always been one of my favourite things to watch (only season 3-9, that story is for a different day). Huge sense of nostalgia with every watch. Themes of family values mixed with a bit over the top mayhem with countless brilliant characters is just bliss. What do you like about working in the video production industry? Going to all sorts of places and meeting all sorts of people. Every week is different which keeps everyone on their toes. I’ve travelled to places far and wide across the UK, Europe and North America on projects. Places I would have never gone doing another job.

I would have to say that Madagascar is my favourite film. Madagascar 2 is a pretty close second though… It’s my go-to film on my birthday and it never fails to make me laugh. I also cannot wait to watch the stage musical of Madagascar soon…. Some may say that this is a kids film, however these people would be WRONG. What do you like about working in the video production industry? I have wanted to work in the video industry since I was in school, so it’s fantastic that I’ve been able to fulfil that dream. I absolutely love working in this industry. There is something different happening every week and I’ve learnt a whole bunch of new filmmaking skills since working at Shot Blast Media.

Their comedic brilliance and on-screen chemistry have never failed to put a smile on my face! And let’s not forget the icing on the cake – Edgar Wright, the genius director behind this cinematic gem. Here’s a fun tidbit about me: When I was younger, I dreamt of joining the police force! And that’s precisely why “Hot Fuzz” resonates so deeply with me. It’s a perfect blend of thrilling action and hilarious comedy, all within the context of law enforcement.

10 Underrated Quotes from Season 2 of The Mandalorian

As previously seen with season one, I’m here with another list of underrated quotes from The Mandalorian—this time, from season two. I’m going to highlight some of my favorite quotes from the season or quotes that stick out to me and why I think they’re noteworthy.

I don’t own any rights to content from The Mandalorian and, if you haven’t watched season two yet, potential spoilers are ahead!

1. “Pay attention when a superior addresses you.” (Chapter 15: The Believer)

While this scene certainly isn’t underrated, I believe this line spoken by Valin Hess when he finally catches Din Djarin’s attention by the Imperial terminal deserves some reflection. It’s interesting to think about how responding to Hess’ first call of “Trooper” is something Djarin just... wouldn’t think to do, or is something he thought he could get away with. It seems that Mandalorians, while they value their leadership, don’t focus on hierarchical structures in their society, so Djarin isn’t used to having to obey orders like that. It’s even worse that he has to deal with this unfamiliar situation without his helmet for the first time since he was a child. It really draws our attention to how little Djarin knows about the Empire and other organizations outside of his covert.

2. “This is the Way.” (Chapter 11: The Heiress)

I think many of us can agree that the first time this statement is uttered in this episode, we’re less than pleased about it, thanks to Bo-Katan’s ridiculing tone. When it happens later on, however, there’s so much meaning packed behind the words. First, from Bo-Katan, who has witnessed Mando’s bravery firsthand and has likely realized how wrong she was making assumptions about him based off his covert and his traditions. In return, Mando’s response of the phrase is strained. Why? Well, it’s up to interpretation—but to me, I think it’s because Mando’s in awe of the idea of these Mandalorians who have already proven their abilities to him actually coming to respect him and the Way he’s known ever since he was a child. It was a great moment of reconciliation.

3. “Is he speaking? Do you... understand him?” (Chapter 13: The Jedi)

Something I love about this line in particular is the way it’s delivered. There’s such desperation concealed behind Mando’s modulator that tells us so much about what he’s been thinking while pacing the forest floor nervously. This desperation also tells us how eager he’s been to communicate with his child. Mando and Grogu have been together for a long time, now, and we know they’ve had plenty of one-sided conversations. I’m sure Mando has longed to know what Grogu’s been thinking in return, and now that he might have an opportunity to, we can really hear that sheer curiosity and desperation in his voice with this line he offers to Ahsoka.

4. “Jet back, you’re faster that way.” (Chapter 12: The Siege)

I’m sure we all have our mixed opinions about the season one Nevarro crew, but this moment in particular really strikes the depth of their friendship and companionship. Once they’ve all heard about Moff Gideon’s return and his request to get the child once again, there’s no doubt in anyone’s minds that Mando wouldn’t be going back for him immediately. Even though the job isn’t completely done and Greef, Cara, and Mythrol all still need a way out, they don’t even try to ask for Mando’s help. Instead, Cara insists that he gets back as fast as he can, even if that means the three of them don’t make it out themselves. I really love how that shared understanding and dedication to the child in all situations shows their deep friendship amongst the trio (and Mythrol).

5. “I’ve spent much time on Tatooine. I never saw a Mandalorian there.” (Chapter 9: The Marshal)

Mando’s response to Gor Karesh insisting that he knows of a Mandalorian on Tatooine could potentially be telling us more than we’re aware of. As far as we know, Mando’s only been to Tatooine once—and it was only for two days, tops. But here, he’s saying he’s “spent much time” there, which means it’s possible that Mando lived on Tatooine for a time while the Bounty Hunter’s Guild still operated out of there. If you think about it more, Mando knew exactly where to go for some work in Chapter 5, another hint that there’s more to Mando’s time on Tatooine than we’re aware of. The same thing could be said about his knowledge of Tusken and his friendship with the Sand People. Any time we get a potential hint of Mando’s backstory, I’m excited about it!

6. “Am I under arrest?” (Chapter 10: The Passenger)

This line comes quickly in the midst of Mando’s conversation with the New Republic pilots in Chapter 10, but I really love it. These few words say a lot about Mando’s character and how he responds to praise. He’s just been told all about his heroics in Chapter 6, when he risked his own life for Lieutenant Davan and reprimanded Mayfeld, Xi’an, and Burg—and when asked whether it was true, Mando offers no confirmation. He doesn’t even own up to his good acts. Instead, he simply acts this question, remaining the practical man we know him to be. This truly shows us the humble nature of Mando and how he tries his best to focus on the present rather than dwelling on things he’s done in the past, good or bad.

7. “... talent without training is nothing.” (Chapter 16: The Rescue)

On the surface, this seems like a very practical statement that many Jedi make throughout the series (see Ahsoka talking to Mando in Chapter 13 and Obi-Wan talking to Luke in Episode IV: A New Hope). When you think about it more, especially in context, you might be able to see Luke hinting at something much deeper. Luke heard Grogu’s cry for help from the Seeing Stone where it’s very possible Grogu was talking about his desire to protect his father by strengthening his abilities. Luke knows all too well what happens when you abandon training in an attempt to protect those you love—as for him, it didn’t go well. Yoda tried to warn him but he didn’t listen. Now that he’s learned his lesson, Luke can offer this wisdom to a Grogu who wants to keep his father safe. He knows that training first will then allow Grogu to protect himself and his father to his heart’s content, just as Luke was better able to protect his friends in Episode VI after he finished his training.

8. “Okay, I’m gonna protect you.” (Chapter 14: The Tragedy)

The scene in which this line is delivered is what truly establishes this episode as a tragedy. Mando’s tried three times to break through Grogu’s Force-field—not because he wasn’t thinking, but because he was so desperate—and now he has to come to terms with the fact that he’ll only hurt himself more if he keeps trying it again and again. Mando’s voice is pretty shaky if you listen to it closely enough in these lines, reluctant to leave his child atop the mountain alone but eager to protect him somehow. We know Mando doesn’t like to feel helpless, but we can sense he feels that way in this moment. He doesn’t even know if Grogu can hear him, yet he keeps speaking to him with such fierce protectiveness and reassurance. This is a promise he doesn’t fall through with, even if Grogu does fall into the Imperials’ hands for a time.

9. “Give it to me.” (Chapter 15: The Believer)

This is the moment where we all really knew what was about to go down. What I love about this quote is that Mando says it with no remorse. He says it firmly, insisting upon doing whatever it takes to get those coordinates and get to Grogu. He’s already made up his mind. Despite the fact he gave his word earlier about not showing his face, Mando’s going to do what he has to for his son. The firm way this line is delivered proves that, especially when he shifts from taking a backseat to Mayfeld to taking charge again as he pulls the data stick right from Mayfeld’s grip. I just really love Mando’s determination in this scene, despite the circumstances.

10. “I’ll see you again. I promise.” (Chapter 16: The Rescue)

Do I particularly think this line is underrated? No, not the direct meaning of it. But when you watch Star Wars Rebels and think more about the genius of Dave Filoni, there’s a whole new layer of meaning attached to these words. For those who may not have watched the show yet (you definitely should!), Kanan and Hera are two people who care very much for each other (wink wink) who once had to exchange a goodbye very similar to Mando and Grogu. Kanan was about to go on a very dangerous mission without Hera, unsure of what would happen to him, when he delivered these words: “We’ll see each other again. I promise.” This is almost exactly what Mando says to Grogu in the face of their temporary separation. The good news is Kanan and Hera did get to see each other again—but Kanan was changed forever. Will this happen with Mando or Grogu? It’s possible. But it’s just another one of those moments that makes me yell “FILONI!” in Darth Maul style.

[true-autistic-tales]

welcommee back to my review and ranking of my forever slowly dying hyperfixation, ive left a link on the top to the previous post incase this is your first time seeing this, but anyhooo onto the first half of season 3 under da cut >:D

forced family fun part 1

the hecks go camping, hijinks ensue while also being partly a flashback episode. i enjoy brick and mike bonding while fishing, it's cute. even ray romano makes an appearance at the end and almost entirely throughout the next part. also i found an error with the subtitles, when brick and mike go fishing, brick says:

"my pole is all bendy."

but the subtitles put it as:

"m pole is all bendy."

forced family fun part 2

i love how they make jokes of nicky, ray romano, and frankie, patricia heaton, cuz they were also on everybody loves raymond together, also playing as a married couple with two sons and one daughter. when i first watched this though i was very confused why this nicky dude was in it but now since im cultured, aka watched 2 seasons of everybody loves raymond, i understand. i love how axl angrily trots off to his tent, it's hilarious. i kinda love nicky, he's a funnyman, also ive noticed how many depressing characters are in this show like they all got problems. good episode, above the first half.

hecking order

after countless annoyances by sue, axl decides to get his revenge by suggesting sue should try out for swimming which is on the other side of their campus, while brick has issues with his new teacher even though his teacher is really cool. the ending was very sweet, good episode, above forced family fun part 2. off topic but i just want to note while in writing this one of my besties is explaining chuck e cheese lore to me.

"may i be excused to go step in front of a moving train?"

"it's a family dinner, stuff with the rest of us."

major changes

after frankie accidentally eats axl's toenails while trying to watch wheel of fortune, frankie leaves the hecks, never to be seen again. this episode foreshadows pam staggs, who we seem later in... season 9. see? this is how you do a somewhat funny mental breakdown, especially when it shows frankie in the car, even more of a reason to hate the royal wedding. good episode, above forced family fun part 2.

the test

brick gets harassed by a bully, sue tries out to be a cheerleader, and axl attempts to do his psats. brick "getting out" of the trash is hilarious. i love how they forshadow really weird things like axl's dragon dream being his collage's mascot later. brick is such a smart kid, i love when he explains why bullies bully and how mike starts actually thinking about it, he's a smartass. good episode, above hecking order.

"oh, the bully might be winning right now, but my time will come. [whispering] time will come."

bad choices

axl fakes being sick so he doesn't have to do a test, sue and brad start a play and brick quotes shakespeare. my bobby apears for a bit to suggest frankie to hickory arms, a place he also lives in... with his mom, and is it only me or does his outfit in this episode reminds me a lot of shaggy? frankie being impressed by the most basic of shit at hickory arms is funny but also kinda depressing. i adore the don't text and drive song from sue and brad, it's always amazing even after countless rewatches. i love this episode, it's so good, the top of the list.

"that's democracy in action, jackson!"

halloween 2

sue grows up for a halloween party, brick and frankie got trick-or-treating with his support group, while axl, sean and darrin also go trick-or-treating for a money scam. i adore the ax-men in this episode, they're literally ed, edd n eddy with their level of scams. i also really love the scenes with brick's support group, it's fun as hell. i absolutely love how mike still isn't ready for sue to grow up, and tries to tell her how he feels but fails constantly. another really great halloween episode, top of the list.

heck's best thing

a recuiter for east Indiana state comes to interview axl while sue and brick accidentally gets aunt edie's phone. this weird obsession sue and brick get over this one jesus lighter is humorous. also bob randomly apears again for frankie to vent to while he's trying to put something up for ehlert which just shows how smol he is, i love my short boy. good episode, above hecking order.

"what would jesus lighter say?"

the play

mike grounds axl for being an idiot, brick and rusty bond after rusty stood him up, while frankie, sue and bob try out for a wizard of oz play. i adore all scenes at the play, maybe only because of bob but still- i love the scene where rusty just lets brick drive his automobile, dude, i love rusty, he's absolutely hilarious. great episode, above the test.

"dad let us drive, we turned out okay."

"you wanna rephrase that?"

"okay, uh, dad let we drive, us turned out okay."

thanksgiving 3

the hecks stay over to frankie's family side's place for thanksgiving. axl basically faceplants when it comes to flirting with the registrar girl and it's hilarious, i love it, especially when mike tries to teach axl how to flirt only to look like such a creep. i don't personally like the scene with frankie and janet fighting, it's a bit too realistic for my taste but other than that, good episode, below major changes.

a christmas gift

after frankie sends out an drunken invitation, the hecks with a bunch of other random people celebrate christmas eve while brick becomes an atheist after finally reading the bible and sue tries to stop him.  i really really enjoy all the scenes with reverend timtom, he's so unbelievably cool. i absolutely love loVE LOVE all the scenes with axl and bob, how bob processes the fact that axl calls him bro once and then thinks that they're besties, i love him so much, i love him so so unbelievably much, i would say more but then this would turn into a fictional other gushing post instead of a somewhat in depth ranking post. great episode, above the play.

"[screams quietly]"

year of the hecks

for the new year frankie suggests that everyone should make a new year resolution for each other. i love brad becoming a wrestler, im not even surprised because wrestling is probably the most gayest sport i can imagine, that's not an insult. also in this the wrestlerettes become a thing, i love how they just completely block the view of the actual wrestling. mike trying to smile reminds me of those "cursed images" of weird cats smiling. rereading this i realize how much of a boomer i sounded, i am 15 im not out of touch yet- i love ashley wyman, she's a phineas and ferb stan. axl handing in his late homework thingy and being asked to spell "there" is very hilarious. i absolutely love when frankie and brick hang out at ehlert motors and actually start to bond, it's very nice even if frankie accidentally leaves him at work. another really great episode, above the play.

ranks so far

this season so far has been good, not much else to say, just hopefully the stream will keep on going for this like it has done for the past two.
