Harbinger Halloween headcanons bc I want to and you can’t stop me

Pierro-

He doesn’t dress up bc he’s old and boring. The other harbingers try to trick him into it, but he’s too clever. Dottore resorts to dumping a creation of his (bright pink hair dye) on his head. This year he decided to wear a polar bear fur cape and call it a day.

Dottore-

His clones dress up as various things, but sometimes they all dress as the other harbingers bc they find it funny. They sometimes resort to stealing clothes and shoes.

Signora did not find it funny.

They also leave fun ‘surprises’ around the palace. For legal reasons, they are fake and no one was harmed in the creation of the decorations.

Columbina-

Biblically accurate angel. She’s more interested in dressing up everyone else than wearing a costume, so she usually teams up with Sandrone and Pantalone to torment Tartaglia

Capitano-

Varka

Pulcinella-

Usually some sort of fantasy creature. He takes suggestions from Childe’s siblings when he brings them candy for Halloween. When Childe was younger, they used to both dress up so you couldn’t see their faces and Pulcinella would make Childe go trick-or-treating so he could “feel like a normal kid”

In more recent years, it’s been to entertain Childe’s siblings since he’s usually out of the country.

Scaramouche-

Refused to dress up until he saw Pierro‘s new hairstyle. He claimed he “refuse[d] to look like that pink fox bitch”

After that, he started dressing like people he didn’t like as a type of threat. Dottore has been the victim most years.

Sandrone-

She has a very cute gothic style. She enjoys dressing up, but is usually more interested in dressing up her puppets. She, along with Columbina and Pantalone, always tries to trick Tartaglia into whatever outfit they’ve planned.

Years of her trying to gauge his measurements has led Childe to believe that she hates him and is always glaring at him.

Signora-

She would always commission high fashion masks and jewelry. She claimed she didn’t care for Halloween, but she always wanted to be the spectacle.

She and Pantalone would compete for who had the most extravagant costumes.

Pantalone-

Like Signora, he always felt the need to go all out. He throws a ball every year for those of high stature across the seven nations.

Allegedly, a noble from Mondstadt was once banned from Snezhnaya after accidentally getting drunk and lighting Pantalone’s expensive cloak on fire with his vision.

He usually makes a dramatic show of flaunting his wealth and making sure rumors of his grandeur spread to Liyuen merchants. He claims it’s coincidental, but the invitation to a Halloween ball slid under the door of Yansheng Teahouse was not.

He works with Sandrone and Columbina on a ‘project’ every year around this time. What the project is is classified, but the “”NFTs”” he sells on the Snezhnayan black market are more than enough to fund his parties.

Arlecchino-

Columbina is responsible for getting her to dress up most of the time. If you asked Arlecchino was her outfit was, usually she wouldn’t be able to tell you.

Her costumes tend to be sexy-died versions of ancient beings, but that’s for only Columbina to know.

Tartaglia-

For years he claimed he only dressed up to amuse his siblings, but his first Halloween outside of Snezhnaya he was forced to admit that he just enjoyed doing it

Some part of him enjoys feeling like a kid again, since he lost his childhood so quickly, though he would never admit it.

His costume last year was a werewolf courtesy of Liyue’s number one ghost expert.

The past few years, he could’ve sworn Pantalone was following him around with a kamera, but he can’t prove it.

He also sometimes gets costume suggestions taped to the inside of his door, much to the chagrin of Pulcinella.

I’m bored so here’s what I think each non 50 blessings hotline Miami characters mask would be.

Biker- ik he is in 50B but if he did choose a traditional mask I’m 100% sure it would be a peacock. For one thing it’s a very elegant bird and would serve as a great foil to jackets rooster mask. For one a male peacock has very vibrant colors that match bikers (pink jacket can metaphorically match the flashy eye-feathers a peacock has). This would also complement bikers “guns blazing” play style. Showcasing how he’s more willing to question his part in 50Bs plot rather than put his head down and mindlessly obey their will (kinda like a chicken would). Bonus points for also mirroring the “cock joke” with richards mask. (Figure it out yourself)

Next is beard- a cat. Not a big cat but a regular orange tabby. Not only does he have chill “leave me be and I’ll be V. Cuddly vibes” like a cat but I 100% believe he would let a stray cat crash and live In his gas station. He’s just chill like a house cat and I respect that about him.

Evan wright- a vulture Lol. This one kinda explains itself, with some of mannys dialogue about “the press being vultures” aswell as Evan sniffing around dead bodies as opposed to killing the Russians himself. Not much else to say.

Onto the funny thicc skin man himself

Manny pardo- I’m more of the opinion that if he did have a mask, it would be a puppet mask (basically just phantoms face in mask form). Not only does him being a puppet suit him, with his actions mearly puppeting the fame of the masked maniac, he’s also a very hollow man. He chases fame to fill the void (it never works though). But if I 100% had to pick an animal it would be a German shepherd. Not only are they the dogs favored by the police but they also parallel the dogs used by the Russians. This club as a possible reference to manny being in kahoots with the son.

Speaking of which for the son- I’m torn between a panther or a shark mask. But Leaning towards a shark. As we can see he owns his own pet shark (I always assumed one given to him by his father) and I could definitely see his personality being compared to a sharks whole aesthetic. But a panther mask could work better as a reference to his fathers legacy. Aswell as showing how he lives in the shadows of his dad. Always wanting to win his approval but never getting it due to his death. All in all I’m more fond of the shark, as it is a mask not already in game (apposed to the panther) and it goes to show more of the son’s personality aswell as being his own thing not too connected to his dad.

Onto the henchman- he would be an eel all the way. A small fish with big Dreams only able to succeed at them by stealing the sons profits/hard work. He’s slippery and didn’t make too much of an impact outside of his bosses escapades. (No hate to the guy but he is unmotivated to work for what he wants. Floating in the middle rather than choosing his own destiny)

And for fun here’s a some bonus masks

Daniels- gives me big polar bear vibes. (An no not because he fat)

Barnes- coyote. I know it’s not a wolf but at least one of the “ghost wolves” had to be a canine.

#hotline maimi 2 #hotline miami #evan wright #manny pardo #biker hlm #henchman Hlm #the son #beard hlm #barnes hlm #Daniels hlm #ik I probably forgot someone #let me know if I did #cross posted on Reddit

Gif Credit: @spidermanisthegreatest

Peter stretches across his bed lazily feeling his joints pop and muscles pull tight with his movements. He’s splayed out across his bed with his history homework spread out on his pillows. Ev has been teaching him hand to hand combat like her Dad showed her, so that she could defend herself, and he’s starting to feel the strain it’s having on his muscles. But he’s also noticed that with all of her rigorous training he’s getting better at it and it’s starting to feel second nature now. When he goes out at night still searching for Uncle Ben’s killer he doesn’t have any doubts about his fighting style anymore.

There’s a loud pop from his shoulder area and Peter groans loudly as his muscle relaxes. He’s gotta tell Ev to ease up on the training so that he can recover from it and not hurt. Peter yawns widely as his body begins to settle into his comforter, his eyes are quickly closing as sleep tries to pull him under.

Suddenly his bedroom swings open and Peter is startled out of sleep so abruptly that he nearly falls off the bed, only able to catch himself when he catches his bearings. Ev is standing in his doorway panting heavily as she holds a reusable shopping bag in her hand.

“Get up, I brought you a present.” she tells as she drops the shopping bag on his desk chair and begins digging through it. Peter’s grumbling as he tries to settle back into his bed when suddenly something hits him in the face as Ev laughs happily at her aim being perfect.

“What is this?” Peter asks, confused as he looks down at the red and blue cloth she had thrown at him. As Peter’s eyes focused more on the cloth he realized what he was holding and gasped loudly before whipping his head up to stare at Ev with wide eyes. “Is this what I think it is?” he asked, surprised and overly excited now that he knew what he was holding. Ev nods her head at him with a wide grin on her face.

Peter stands from his bed quickly and lets the suit fall to his full height and he can see all the details she had put into the suit. The black webbing she added to the red chest area and the black spider emblem that had stitched into the suit made Peter’s body tingle with excitement to wear the suit. He couldn’t wait to get into it and see how it fit.

“I went with spandex because that’ll make you more aerodynamic, the webbing and emblem was just a fun touch I figured would be nice for you.” she began to explain and Peter nodded in awe at her words. “Oh! I made you a mask too.” she said suddenly before turning back to her bag and pulling out a red full coverage mask and handing it to him. “The lenses are polarized so that you don’t burn your retinas with all the swinging you’re gonna be doing.” she explained and Peter grinned widely at her.

Stepping up to her he wrapped her tightly in his arms while burying his face in her neck. His grin formed from one side of his face to the other and Ev flinched away from him as he tickled her neck with his nose.

“Thank you so much Ev.” he said into her neck and Ev chuckled softly.

“You’re welcome.” she replied to him as her arms wrapped around his waist.

“But Ev it’s missing something.” he said teasingly as he pulled away from her. When she looked up at him she twisted her mouth to the side knowing that he was going to say something to tease her about the suit.

“Where’s the cape?” he asked as a grin burst on his face, not being able to keep a straight face.

“No cape.” she responded quickly and Peter burst into laughter causing her to start chuckling at him. “Go try it on. I need to know if it fits alright.” she insisted and Peter nodded his head before quickly heading to the bathroom.

He quickly got undressed to his underwear and slipped the suit on. His excitement level rose as the suit easily fit over his body. When the suit was covering his lower half up to his waist he looked up in the mirror before sliding his arms into the suit and pulled the zipper up the back. Staring at himself in the mirror with the spider emblem on his chest Peter took in a deep breath feeling as if he was doing something great. He slipped the mask over his head and grinned widely underneath it. The suit fit perfectly and he couldn’t wait to go out fighting crime in it.

Walking out of the bathroom into his bedroom Peter is distracted as he rushes over to the standing mirror he has in the corner of the room. He doesn’t hear the soft gasp from Ev as she watches him walk into the bedroom in his spider suit. Her eyes dance up and down his form and she feels a hot blush creep up her neck as she realizes how skin tight the suit actually is. All of Peter’s muscular form is on display for her and she guiltily looks away when she feels as if she has been staring at him for too long.

As she’s dragging her eyes away from him Ev catches him turning from side to side checking himself out and suddenly her eyes land on his perky ass in the suit and she feels her cheeks explode with heat. She’s gasping for breath suddenly and she stands from his desk chair quickly nearly knocking it over on the floor. Peter turns to her concerned and she’s face to face with the large lensed eyes and feels herself falling into them and getting lost.

“Ev? Are you okay?” Peter asks, sounding only slightly muffled through the mask. He steps closer to her and Ev feels her eyes widen knowing that he’s going to reach for her to make sure she’s okay. She takes a step back and nods her head raising a hand to keep him at a distance.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” she tells him quickly before she turns from him and begins to gather her things to leave. “I just forgot I’ve gotta go take care of something. Let me know if there’s any problems with the suit!” she calls out before rushing from his room.

Peter is left standing there in front of his mirror confused, he had heard Ev’s heartbeat pounding in his ears as soon as she got a good look at him in his suit. He hoped she didn’t think he looked bad, because Peter thought she did a really good job on the suit and he was so happy with it. He figured he would just catch up with her later and make sure she was okay. He turned back to the mirror to check himself out again feeling too ecstatic with the suit.

washing mondo owada’s hair 😃

warnings: swearing, suggestivity if you squint really really hard

a/n: sorry i died school was piling up

i’ve been thinking of this exact scenario since like february 🧍🏾

no spoilers below the cut!!

★ 彡 ★ ミ ★ 彡 ★ ミ ★

“hey, mondo?”

“oi.”

“can i wash ur hair 😃”

he’s not necessarily against the idea but he’s hesitant

his pompadour is his trademark and the only other style you’ve seen him in is a manbun for when he sleeps or it’s early in the morning before he gets ready

so basically, you’ve never seen him with his hair down in it’s natural form

“uhhh, i dunno, doll.”

he caves after like two minutes

what? he luvs u

anyways

you drag him over into the bathroom and have him get his hair all wet n stuff

and you bring out the shampoo

he completely relaxes under your touch

you can hear him sigh contently and smile as you continue to lather all of his hair

it’s all so nice and domestic to him and he can’t believe he didn’t let you do this sooner

when you massage his scalp he physically relaxes every muscle in his body and pushes his head closer to you

you are

very good at this

you make sure the shampoo is evenly all throughout his hair before rinsing it off and grabbing the conditioner a few feet away

once again, squeezing the bottle into your hand and rubbing them together before placing your hands back on his head

you start by coating the top of his head before trying to rake it through the rest

you can’t quite reach around so you move to stand behind him in the bath and he leans back into you

he gets ur shirt a lil wet but it’s alright

once you finish raking it through his hair, you let it sit for about two minutes before rinsing and wringing his hair out

(and u add a lil conditioner at the end as a leave in since his hair is curly)

you get him a towel and return to the bathroom where he’s still sitting on the edge of the bathtub, playing with a loose strand of his own hair

before handing him the towel, you kneel down and cup his face

“you’re so pretty.”

he just looks at you lovingly before going “tch.” and turning his head away

ok damn bitch be like that then 😕😕

———

A BONUS FOR ALL MY NEGROS OUT THERE ‼️‼️

wash day together!! :)

you had been encouraging mondo for a little while to wash your hair together

you really wanted to rake your fingers through his hair while it’s wet and down and you had nothing against letting him help you with your routine either

when he’s finally convinced, you pull him to the bathroom and start running the water, having him put his head under it

he hesitantly does and you get to work, making sure all of his hair gets wet

you tell him he can stand and give him a moment to stretch his back before asking him if he has any preferred products or anything like that

let you find out he’s been using some 2-in-1 shit

here you come pulling out a whole damn beauty shop from the cabinet

you choose some of your stuff that seem like they’d be compatible with his hair

(and that you also don’t really use because as much as you may love him, products are expensive and we ain’t wasting shit here)

but he sits on the edge of the bathtub and just watches you as you deck up the products you’ll use on him

just admiring you

but he snaps out of it when you turn to him with the bottle in hand

you squeeze some shampoo onto your hand and tell him to rest his head back, putting your knee between his legs and leaning forward to apply it to his hair

ur chest was like

right in his face

damn ma

anyways

you lather his hair and massage it into his scalp

he almost falls asleep on the spot

ur head scratches are unmatched

“mondo.”

“mooooondo.”

“hm?”

“you can rinse it out now.”

HELP HE’S SO EMBARRASSED LMFAOO

he just kinda

nods abruptly and puts his head under the running water

just muttering to himself as he’s turned away from you 😭

he sits under the water for much longer than he needs to before sitting up again

and you put the shampoo back under the cabinet, grabbing your conditioner

you need to get access to his entire head of hair so you move to like straddle sit in his lap and he just holds onto your thighs

he keeps averting eye contact

i think u might make him a lil nervous

you coat the conditioner on the surface of his hair before raking your fingers through and sighing contently with a lil giggle

this was nice

once all his hair was finger detangled, you reached back for your comb/brush

(personally i use a brush bc its easier but i know a lot of black ppl prefer combs)

you began to detangle his hair with the tool, your fingers following behind it

he winced every now and then but you quietly apologized and kissed his temple/forehead everytime

after the first few times, he started wincing on purpose lol

anyways

you started to get off him bc you were gonna let the conditioner sit for a few moments but he pulled you back down

he just kinda wraps his arms around your waist and hopes you get the message

n so you rest ur head on his shoulder and just quietly talk to each other

he thanks you for making him do this but like begrudgingly lol

you enjoy being in each other’s presence before you finally take a deep breath and get off him

you help him rinse it out and keep abruptly moving his head to stay under the water and you brush through it

you guys are laughing like some mfs LMFAOO

it’s so wholesome

but you finish combing through his hair and get two cotton t-shirts

bc you wanted to do a deep condition treatment with him as well

so you wet your own hair and put the product in, helping him as well

you manage to convince him to do a face mask with you too

you guys take those corny ass white peepo mirror pics together but u guys are both hot so i mean

you lounge around for about half an hour before washing your hair out

(and rinsing the mask off too)

and you wrap the t-shirt around your own head and mondo just watches you do it like “. w hat”

you have to help him put it on but it’s cute

ok this is getting unnecessarily long lemme finish this up

you let ur hair dry for a while before taking the tees off and putting in your actual final finishing products

he kinda smells like u now and he’s lowkey here for it lol

n you play with his hair for the literal rest of the day before falling asleep together and appreciating the domesticity <3

(bonus bonus bc i thought of this and didn’t wanna scrap it)

if you wanted to braid it then he’d be like “yeah sure ok” but immediately regret it LMFAOO

he’s not even tenderheaded but dAMN MA YOU GOT THE GRIP OF A POLAR BEAR 😕

he winces and flinches a lot

“quit movin yo damn head.”

yeah LMFAOAOAO

Cloaks, 1: The humble cloak has a rich history in tabletop roleplaying games, D&D especially with it having its roots based on Lord of the Rings and medieval fantasy. A heavy dark cloak with a deep hood is perfect for instantly creating a mysterious stranger at the other end of a tavern, their face obscured by the deep cowl. A cloak is often a cornerstone of a PC’s appearance and enchanted ones even more so. The following is a collection of unique descriptions of cloaks for DM’s to give to their players as magical or mundane loot and for players to use during character creation to help flesh out their personal style.

A dark grey, military style shoulder cloak clasped by a silver brooch in the shape of a bridge of stone, lit by ruby flames. The back of the brooch bears an inscription that reads: “First in, last out.”

A tattered red cloak that patches itself up whenever the bearer sleeps in a graveyard.

Cloak of the Aardvark: A nondescript light brown cloak, which causes the bearer to develop a slightly longer tongue and a mild but persistent craving to eat ants.

A beautiful cloak whose tattered silk designs resembles the dusty wings of a moth in flight.

A sturdy leather cloak with a large number of interior pockets. Every day at noon, a random worthless object appears in one of the pockets. The item vanishes back to whence it came if not removed from the pocket within one hour. The items are never worth more than a few coppers, never quite useful and are always small enough to physical fit into the average pocket. After inspecting a few of the objects the cloak produces, the bearer experiences the nagging feeling that the cloak is just stealing junk out of other people’s pockets. ---Note: The items that appear are always at the GM’s discretion. I personally recommend making use of the many Worthless Trinket Tables from this blog to get ideas.

A cloak comprised completely of gleaming iridescent feathers. It is heavier and much more durable than a cloak of feathers has any right to be.

An iridescent blue cloak the color of the sea that appears to ebb and flow of its own accord.

A worn patchwork gleeman’s cloak. Each brightly colored square patch is unique and the cloak sports a dazzling array of combinations of colors, patterns, fabrics and symbols.

A well-made black cloak that is completely waterproof. But looks as if something is occasionally...writhing beneath the cloth. This is disconcerting to observers, but the bearer never sees it.

A Randomly Colored oilskin cloak with the phrase “Random Motto” stitched along the interior of the tip of the hood. With the hood pulled low, the bearer can feel the spirit of the motto press against their consciousness, attempting to guide his decisions. The influence is subtle and never forces the bearer to violate any firmly held beliefs.

—Keep reading for 90 more cloaks.

—Click Here for a complete list of every trinket table

—Note: The previous 10 items are repeated for easier rolling on a d100.

A well-made black cloak that is completely waterproof. But looks as if something is occasionally...writhing beneath the cloth. This is disconcerting to observers, but the bearer never sees it.

A luscious bison fur cloak with horn buttons. The style seems to be that of a backwoodsman bachelor who had more time and energy than actual skill.

A Randomly Colored cloak that always flaps gently, as if pushed by a slight breeze.

A tan leather cloak that writhes as though alive and screams when damaged.

A thick hide cloak lined with a strange blue fur. The fabric is cut to hang on the bearer in a traditionally Random Humanoid Race style.

A feathered cloak which changes its coloring to match whatever bird is closest.

A double lined cloak. One side it is a dull, dreary brown; the inner lining is black. The cowl is particularly capacious.

A full yellow cloak with large silver clasps and symbols of the divine aspect of Random Neutral Domain boldly presented in dark green.

A once-fine cloak, maroon colored with a gold trim, now somewhat torn and worn from age. Careful examination reveals a hidden pocket containing a signet ring with a gold wyvern crest.

A reversible cloak. The outside is black while the inside is a gaudy gold color. The wearer can flip the cloak from one side to the other in just a few seconds using both hands.

A leathery grey cloak made from stitched ghoul skin. This unholy garment is cold to touch and causes revulsion in living creatures that see it.

A dire bear pelt fashioned into a cloak fit for an ogre, bound by a large, crude pewter clasp.

A cloak of griffon feathers set on black velvet. The material is warm, wind resistant and lightweight, perfect for a griffon knight.

A voluminous cloak with a large hood that comes halfway down the bearer's face. The cloak’s exterior is completely waterproof and the wool inner lining is snug, warm and removable. The exterior of the cloak is covered in a whorled camouflage pattern of green’s, brown and blacks. The interior has several pocket of varying sizes making the cloak perfect for wilderness travelling and adventuring.

A heavy cloak made from the fur of a polar bear. The material is ridiculously warm and will keep its bearer alive and moving despite frigid artic conditions.

A black cloak embroidered with a web-like pattern in white silk

A brown robe covered with an embroidered pattern of dozens of open eyes. Creatures around the bearer always have the disturbing sensation that they’re being watched.

A blonde cloak woven from human hair, that weeps softly for an hour if blood is spilled in its vicinity. The hair is always clean, silky and shiny no matter what happens to it.

A reversible linen cloak that has an outer layer of fabric in a mottled black pattern and an inner layer of a bright Random Bright Color. Reversible cloaks are worn for the sake of fashion, in theatre performances, or to aid a quick appearance change as part of a disguise. This cloak in particular was most definitely used for the latter as knowledgeable PC’s will notice that the cloak’s clasp has the emblem of a notorious thieves’ guild worked into its design. A practiced bearer using both hands, can undo the clasp, flip the cloak and redo the as an action equivalent to drawing a weapon.

An audaciously red cloak that if worn around certain seedier districts in town might attract the attention of lonely individuals looking for a date for the evening. Their treat of course…

A brown and tan cloak that resembles a massive, flat slug with a bronze clasp covered in patina. When worn, slugs, snails and any creatures resembling them are non-hostile toward the wearer of the cloak until provoked.

Normally a cloak of this type muffles it's bearer's movement, however this one does not reduce the sound of the bearer's movement in the slightest, in fact the whispering is noticeably distracting.

I don’t understand where this need for diverse artistic expression in themes comes from? Like WHY? Why would you need to draw and paint 457495 or even 20 different things? Why can’t you just paint and draw the few things you really like?

Seriously! Let’s see some artists:

Pepe Shimada paints cats with bright colors and from a front or side view. Sometimes there is a polar bear, but 98% of paintings it is a cat.

Maud Lewis painted the same black cats with yellow eyes, countryside landscapes and animals with flat colors.

Boris Groh mainly paints the same gigantic Gashadoguro-like skeleton. He is most well-known for it.

Tetsuo Takahara painted cats looking at you with earthy colors. Sometimes there’s a tiny dog, but 99% are cat pics.

Mark Rothko painted just squares and rectangles, most often on a single color background.

Jakub Rozalski paints werewolves, soldiers of the same time line, monsters and mechanical machines again and again.

Yoshiro Takahashi has made his decades long mangaka career with dog manga only. He just draws dogs, with the same style, year after year, story after story.

Yves Klein invented his own blue color (Klein’s Blue) and just used it over and over again.

Miss Monster has made her career out of monster mask, monster items and monster designs. She has worked with Guillermo del Toro.

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! DO NOT FIGHT AGAINST YOUR FAVE SUBJECTS! DRAW AND PAINT AND SCULPT AND WRITE THE SAME FRIGGING THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND COMES NATURALLY FROM YOU!

Every artist has their own special genre/style/theme/color palette. Do not try to be 100 different artists at the same time (unless if it your happy calling). Just be you. Unironically paint 56869 birds with green feathers, make 100 werewolf high school comics, draw dogs with collars, use flat colors, paint clouds.

BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU.

Dreams, wtf

I had a freaking weird dream last night that was like... a new Sonic Mania style game? But for some reason there were bits of dialogue w/ banjo-kazooie style voice blips and sometimes they’d pop up during gameplay (but not interrupt it) for ~character building~. And in one level, for some reason, Tails could sometimes use the bubble shield bounce, and sometimes he’d swim, and then suddenly the game’s logic corrected himself so he couldn’t do the bounce. Though at first the gameplay was Sonic in a water level with this kinda stony temple. ...but then it was Tails. And then there was a part where Bark the Polar Bear and... I wanna say it was Espio or Mighty made chase after Tails and contemplated his skills and the morality of doing this, and then they got to some night time stage w/ like. A sorta city vibe, kinda? And then it became a CG cutscene and Supporting Me was playing on instrumental and then Tails was like “THE ULTIMATE SHADOW” and somehow this segued into what was supposed to be his backstory... Except it turned into some CG anime opening on the high seas with a fast moving motor boat that might’ve been some warped version of Sonic Rush Adventure (???) until for some reason Tails was singing an anime OP from some series that looked like a bootleg amalgamation of One Piece, Zatch Bell, and... maybe SOUL eater? And then it wasn’t Tails singing anymore and one of the character designs was like an old man’s head with bushy silver hair and horns with a blue mask on but on four legs with blue crocs over human-like feet and it was FREAKING WEIRD... And then it cut to a manga shop and some guy was like, “Okay, but how did the Rugrats end???” And... I was like, “It just kinda ended. But All Grown Up is a thing.” And then I woke up and was like wtf.

//And now for the final question: your thoughts for Crash 4?//

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time

Such a cool thing we finally have a new game, not counting the N. Sane Trilogy this is the first new game for Crash in 12 years.

Now there is a lot to unpack here, so first there is the new art direction imposed by Toys For Bob which was a surprise as I said before the NST designs will be missed but I do really like this new style and might even prefer it a little, the cartoony style just feels like it works with Crash for not only their models and environments but for the animation which is beautiful in this game.

Now that I’ve actually played it for myself I found it to be really good, felt like the controls were a bit better than even the N. Sane Trilogy and I thought the design of the levels was beautiful especially something like “Off Beat” which might now be one of my favorite Crash levels. It also includes a cameo of Ripper Roo, and a Spyro and CTR reference.

The addition of more playable characters was really cool too, not sure who my favorite besides Crash/Coco was but maybe Dingodile, and I think the game made me like him even more than I did. It’s interesting to see him become a neutral and basically reformed trying to enjoy retirement, then actually fight alongside the Bandicoots against the Tropys which I neve thought I’d see this former pyromaniac do.

I can also say I liked the Quantum Masks, even though Lani-Loli is the one with the most screentime, Kupana-Wa being the second. I thought they were pretty great and I found their powers and what they add to the game to be a nice inclusion. I feel like I had a hard time trying to get used to Ika-Ika though, took some time but I eventually got it down.

I found the inclusion of skins just like what Nitro Fueled did to be great, there are a lot of cool skins in the game but I wish that Dingodile, Tawna and Cortex had some too because there is a lot that could’ve been done for them.

There is also those new Flashback tapes, which are much more difficult levels that you play through that are set before the events of Crash 1 and with a retro filter over it. The cool thing about these is how there are little bits of lore in it because of things Cortex, N. Brio or N. Gin say over the intercom which are nice little inclusions.

On to the main story, which has a bit more focus than the previous games rather than it taking a backseat to the gameplay like the older games with the exception of something like Twinsanity. I thought it was decent enough, nothing groundbreaking or super ambitious but it was something to try and invest in along the way.

The game isn’t without it’s flaws however, such as aspects of the story.

The story isn’t awful or anything, but it feels like there is a few holes and parts that should have had cutscenes in my opinion for context sake, Like when Crash and Coco get captured in Salty Warf and then the AU Tawna doesn’t really have an introduction she’s just sort of there. Same for when later she and Dingodile meet up off screen. Who for instance, Dingodile has an introduction to him he doesn’t just appear out of no where unlike her.

Would have been nice if the other playable characters had full levels to themselves besides their introduction levels rather than just going halfway before their segment ends. Then replaying the same level with Crash with box placements being the only difference, to give the other playable characters more time to shine too and fulfill the small arcs they have.

For the boxes it feels like it’s difficult to get them all on your first run of a level because in many levels at least one or a couple boxes are extremely well hidden in places you might not even think about. As if TFB saw the memes of people missing 1 box and then made it so it would happen in many levels. Stuff like that makes it take a bit longer to reach at least 100%

The 100% ending, which is the reward for completing the game, getting all the gems in the game and completing all the Flashback tapes with a Platinum gets you an epilogue showing what all the main characters got up to after the events of the game, a fun little cutscene.

I think I might never beat it to 106% mostly because of the time relics which traded in the minimum requirement from Gold to Platinum which for some of these levels feels incredibly difficult, especially without the running dash from NST.

As of writing this I currently have 100% and only one gold time relic, and quite a few of the N. Sanely Perfect Relics. Although I feel like levels such as “Bears Repeating” are gonna be one of the things that prevents me from reaching 106% due to the controls on Polar or “Toxic Tunnels” which is a monster of a level, they’re evil for putting boxes in the gem route. XD

Overall however I thought the game was really good and just as I thought with the trailer it was promising. I feel like Crash’s future looks bright with this game and just work out some of the little things with this game to make a possible Crash 5 better, because they do tease what I assume is another sequel in the 106% ending.

Ayesha Liveblogs Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card S1

Not to be someone born in the 90s but wow this is a change from the more simple animation style new anime truly likes things shiny, intensely bright and round lmao

Ah I guess the prologue is just a reanimation of the original anime finale? That’s fair it helps you reintegrate if it had been nineteen years for you

“That way, you’ll realize who you consider to be your Number One” Eriol’s advice has gotten less cryptic since he stopped lying

“The person I love the most... is you” Lmao didn’t Syaoran ALREADY do this confession in the final battle this is like in Naruto the Last where Naruto just forgot that Hinata had already said she loved him

Fdshkfjhkjdfhksjhfkjh wow Yukito appearing with a flower background and shine effect and softened face is this a style choice or is this just Toya Vision™

I think Toya’s voice IS different rest in pieces I still respect u bro

“How do I feel about Syaoran” [Pan across Syaoran in floral background] It is a style choice how very shojo manga of you

I’m really very confused by the references to Tokyo Tower bc I’m pretty sure they were battling at Tsukimine Shrine did I miss something??

No I just checked it was definitely at the shrine in the anime did THEY not check or were they like ‘hmmm not enough drama only Tokyo Tower for our battle backdrops pls’

This is the third or fourth flower backdrop in the first ten minutes jkhkdjhg the floral effect artists said ‘I WILL BE SILENT NO LONGER’:

I DO NOT understand the chronology of this the bear exchange was the last scene in the anime is this before or after the finale???? If it’s after then why is Syaoran still in town

Rjhkjhgkj is the entire point of redoing this episode so Sakura could also give Syaoran a bear

“Toya was too embarrassed, so he had me bring it over and went back to his room” Lmao @ Toya sending his boyfriend to be nice to his sister in his place

If this show does not stop the floral cutaways I will not be able to take it seriously it is Ouran High School Host Club levels of intensity jdshfkjshdfkjhsdk

“Will you wait for me?” “Yes! I’ll wait! I’ll be waiting!” I think they threw out all continuity just so they could establish that these feelings were for sure mutual for the setup of the sequel series

That, or the original series so heavily discarded manga continuity that they are trying to walk it back to something more accurate without any real explanation

Rffkghkfghkdfhgkj if they’re referencing the original anime bear scene what was the point of that stupid prologue SO WHAT IS THE TRUTH

“My name is Mike. I’m from Portland” LOL references to Americans in anime are always so funny

“Now I can stay in Tomoeda forever” did u bring ur mom and sisters orrr

Gosh I’m actually quite thrown by how quickly this romance escalated it took them 57 episodes to just use each other’s first names and now it’s taken them one (1) episode to Commit 4Ever At Age 13

HAHAHA do they have smart phones now? Always on the cutting edge

“I Am a Stuffed Animal” some of the quirky captions ARE worth it

“Make sure you tell him... even the smallest things” Yue has become more of a romantic since he got closure and a part-time boyfriend

“I never knew! Thanks for telling me!” “Never change, Li-kun” kjhgkjhdkj STILL MY GULLIBLE BOY some things don’t ever change

Is that a dragon?? They are really expanding this magical universe

It bears repeating the polar opposite levels of pacing from the two shows it’s only episode one and they’ve already established so many new rules and powers

I don’t blame them for it though bc they have to put forward some kind of plot progression

There were so many visual effects in that scene I couldn’t even tell what was happening lmao it’s like reading manga battles

“But why are these things happening in Tomoeda again?” I mean not to point fingers but Syaoran’s arrival is fairly recent

“Did Wei-san come back with you” “No, just me. But he said he’d come to check on me in a while” HE’S 13?? CHILD. WELFARE. LAWS!!!!

“I wish that I could’ve used it as a reference” “For what?” “To make something that would look wonderful on you” LMAO now that Syaoran and Sakura are a thing He is Included in the outfits

“’Great to have you’ so you can do what?” don’t bully ur sister Toya, u r both happy with your respective relationships now

WHAT ARE THE STAKES OF KERO PRETENDING TO BE A PLUSHIE TOYA IS LITERALLY DATING THE MOON

I understood “Gale” but what exactly is a “Siege” card this feels a little abstract

“We managed to keep him in the dark” did u tho? Again. Moon boyfriend

“So it happened in her room” Did u put a protection spell on that bear or something Syaoran

I genuinely do not tire of Syaoran and Sakura’s shared gullibility this couple is morosexual solidarity

How convenient that Sakura’s new key just announces whenever there’s a new clear card to collect lmao

I meant what I said about Toya’s love language being touching Yukito somewhere above the shoulders

“You’ll find out when the time comes” Dfddjhfjkdhf Toya what are you going to DO

Two cards in one episode is quite a bit for ep 3 I guess they’re trying to give her some more fighting options lol

Is the implication of the way Sakura just happens to be coming across magical phenomenon that Clow Reed didn’t make his cards but just harnessed magic that existed in nature

For no reason other than my own suspicion I think that something funky is going on with Syaoran’s powers

“That person was almost the same height as me” I mean so was Eriol

“Sakura and the Lovely Transfer Student” we know by now transfer students mean that shit’s about to get real

“And then you slept with your belly uncovered” “I did not!” Toya’s gentle bullying to distract Sakura is always weirdly sweet

“Your brother is so funny Sakura” CHIHARU’S RIGHT STAN TOYA

SHINOMOTO ARE YOU SHITTING ME JHDFGHDGDFDD WHY DOES IT RHYME

“I hope we can be friends” if I know anything about this show this means she’s going to do something very shady immediately

I wonder if this will be the season that Tomoyo’s filming of everything Sakura does finally becomes plot relevant

I do think it’s weird that Sakura trusted a new key without questioning it

“I’m changing back” LOL @ YUE TRANSFORMING INTO YUKITO JUST TO AVOID PEOPLE I’M STARTING TO REALLY LIKE HIM

DGSJGSJDGDJGSFFSJDHJS YUKITO APOLOGIZING FOR YUE LEAVING RUDELY THAT’S MY POLITE AND HANDSOME MAN WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG IN HIS LIFE

I KNEW Syaoran was being suspicious!!! Talking about Sakura with Eriol in secret phone calls

“I came here to be ready for that time, when it comes” current theory is that Syaoran has NO powers and that’s why he is not running out of his classroom for teenage battles with the Forces of Nature

“How much has Yukito-san been eating?” “Not as much as he did when you were in elementary school, but he still eats a lot for his size” This must be a strange conversation for their dad to listen to but I like how this is code for Does Yukito Have Magical Chakra Exhaustion

“Um, I just... Phone call” said Sakura, as she was forcibly moonwalked away right in front of her friends’ eyes

LOL is Tomoyo being unable to film Sakura going to be a recurring joke

“Don’t worry about it” “I have to, when it’s about you” Syaoran really going Full Boyfriend Mode huh

I’ve never questioned it in until precisely this moment but who pays Kero’s phone bill?? Is it Tomoyo? Who is the account holder for this stuffed animal did she establish Kero as a legal person

“Momo-chan, let’s be friends okay?” I feel like this has to be immediate foreshadowing for Momo being alive

[Cucumber cut incorrectly] “Gotta show Yuki” hjkfhksjdhfkjhd rude of Toya but the caption kills me

Ddjkhfkjdhfjkdhfkjh the pure juxtaposition of this energy:

Tomoyo: They have other things to do

Chiharu, thinking that it’s a romance thing: [Winks]

Syaoran and Sakura: [In the shadows while threatening music plays]

“I didn’t feel... anything” oh NO why r their magic senses NOT tingling

I feel like I have been had, they had an episode called the “Song of the Moon” and Yukito didn’t even show up?? Rude

SCREAM this magical FaceTime call is much funnier than I could’ve imagined

“Yukito is in a recitation club, which he takes very seriously” GDGJFGJGJHGDG Yue very respectful of not occupying Yukito’s time with magical shenanigans LMAO

“And we’ll make them the cutest oxygen masks you’ve ever seen” Tomoyo, like the background effects artists in this anime, will not be stopped

Well colour me inaccurate I guess Syaoran can use his powers and he can do a fancy new sword thing

I like this flying scarf it’s the first of the new cards with a personality

Poor Syaoran always so serious to being a Teenage Wizard is hard

Wow I bet there’s NOTHING weird about the fact Akiho lives in Eriol’s house it’s just pure happenstance (said no one)

“Could we um, go out together?” I think this is the first time someone has explicitly scheduled a date in all 80+ episodes

I really do enjoy Toya’s never-ending list of temp jobs lmao

“Still going on, huh?” Toya’s older brother senses are unparalleled

LMAO IS THIS A 15 YEAR OLD BUTLER

Ghgjhfjfjhfjh what is the scale for these heights why is Kaito twice the height of these 13-year-olds

Unsubtle shot of this man’s pocket watch echoing Sakura’s dream

I’ve never seen a more Rich Person Reaction than Akiho getting upset that Katio, a service worker, stated that taking care of her was his job hfkjdhfkjh

“I came to Japan because there was a book I wanted”

1. VERY Rich Person thing to say

2. Wow I wonder which of you has a MAGICAL BOOK that’s been doing weird things lately

“What language is it” “I don’t know, but I’ve learned to read it” me when I hear people speak South Asian languages LMAO

Why does everyone keep referencing the Time That’s Coming? Toya, Syaoran, Eriol... they’ve all caught Mizuki’s affliction of vague and unhelpful prophecies

*One more go to jail Mizuki for the road

I hope that these stupid FaceTime calls with Yue are in EVERY episode from now on

Does the fact that he’s listed as Yue-san in Sakura’s phone mean that there’s a phone for each personality omg

OMG I just realized the ep title (Sakura’s Thrilling Aquarium Visit) must be a throwback to “Sakura’s Heart-Racing First Date” which was not a date but took place at an aquarium. Cute!!

GJHGSHJGFSGH Yue is me whenever people talk about video games:

Kero: Hey, Yue, play an online game with me

Yue: [Hangs up immediately]

“I made you wait” “Nah, I got here too early. It’s still twelve minutes before our meeting time.” I think she and Yukito had this exact exchange in that early ep

“She doesn’t have magical powers, but she’s oddly perceptive” I hope that Meilin’s one and only magical power is precognition lmao

Omg every time someone in this show speaks English I am so thrown

“I wasn’t sure how I should look at him” awww Syaoran trying to re-establish himself in the family

I guess this aquarium HAS changed in that it developed a security system for when the tank breaks [youknowwhathatisgrowth.gif]

LOL I guess it’s convenient to have an invisibility cloak when ur breaking and entering I was wondering how they were going to deal with their criminal behaviour in the age of cameras

Ep 10. Sakura’s Unbelievable Juvenile Detention Centre

Weel weel weel looks like Sakura isn’t the only one with new powers nice ice Syaoran!! I missed their tag team fights

OH MY GOD IF THIS PHOTO ALBUM ACCEPTS THE CONTINUITY OF THE SECOND MOVIE THEN SAKURA AND SYAORAN HAVE ALREADY! DONE! THEIR! CONFESSIONS! WOULD YOU PICK A LANE

“You want the person you like to eat good food” Besides the fact Kaito is twice your height and therefore probably an adult... u should not make advances on people u employ - this is all very bad-vibes-no-jutsu

I am shocked that it took this long for Sakura to notice that her new cards paralleled the old cards

Syaoran is staring at Kaito like he murdered his spouse in a previous life

“So he has Moon magic too?” UHHHH WAS SYAORAN’S MAGIC ALWAYS MOON-BASED I FEEL LIKE THAT’S NOT CLEAR

Also very unclear why Eriol keeps leaving her on read if he’s talking to Syaoran what

I love how Kero has independent friendships and communications with both Yukito and Tomoyo lmao

How many times has Penguin Park been destroyed by now

“Perhaps your dream is gradually progressing” Progressing into what exactly the Battle of the Nice Thirteen-Year-Olds

Why is it that magic in this universe comes with above-average athletic ability LOL

Once again, without a body/personification, these cards seem harsh

Kaito seems like too much of a red herring a la Mizuki so I’m going to assume the other presence we see is someone we either haven’t met yet or smth really fucked up with the rest of the main cast

I’d lose my mind if it was Toya but I genuinely hope not he’s too nice

I honestly missed Meilin ever since she chilled out a bit she’s very fun

“The emoji in her message definitely looked thrilled” [Bob Dylan voice] For the times they are a-changin’.....

“I don’t know when it’ll happen, but when it does you’ll know” Toya.......

Toya’s absolutely nonplussed reaction to his Moon Boyfriend never ceases to amaze

Yukito: [Sighs and floats into the air to wrap in a wing cocoon]

Toya: [Sitting and staring unfazed]

Also am I crazy or was that transformation on purpose bc it really had the energy of ‘Fine if you won’t talk to me maybe you’ll talk to Rude Magical Me!!’

“Did I change again?” GUESS NOT LMAO

Also it’s fun how as different as Yukito and Yue are, their shared brain cell says ‘TOYA COMMUNICATE WITH MEE’

“But ever since Syaoran came back, he’s had something important on his mind” People don’t give Sakura enough credit for her emotional intelligence

Can we take a minute to appreciate Sakura’s outfit fashion ICON

What is this Furry card that makes u dress up in ears and a tail lmao

“I’ll treasure [these cookies]” “I’d rather you ate them” LOL

My Furry card prediction gets more and more accurate with each passing second (even a broken clock’s right twice a day)

Uhhhhh Syaoran what did u sell to the moon devil to be able to cut through the space-time continuum

Sakura: NO THAT’S MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT SYAORAN

SCREAM this family and their circle of hair cutting (also if Yukito cuts Toya’s hair, does Toya cut Yukito’s? Or does it not grow bc magic jfhkfh)

“I’m pretty sure that was middle school English” Sakura hearing English is me hearing French LMAO

“Sucks, doesn’t he?” MEILIN PLS

Djhfjkdhkjfhjk Tomoyo’s immediate rage at being the centre of attention

SAKURA DOING MAGIC RIGHT IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE OMG

“Surround the entire mansion” Very subtle Sakura I’m sure no one in your whole town will notice

“I hear her father specializes in archaeology, so he might have some interesting books” “Have I mentioned Sakura-san’s father to you before?” [Dramatic cut in music] WELL

Oh my GOD did Kaito just turn back time bc he regretted what he said immediately? Honestly a mood

Also: BITCH

“You’re so alike, and not just because of your names” I have to say I’ve been thinking since her first appearance that Akiho looks like Nadeshiko so if they’re not related I will be surprised

“Sometimes watching good people makes me feel sad” well damn Meilin

I’m going to guess this Teenage Robot is the equivalent of the fight card that Meilin fought upon her introduction

Aw HELL YEAH SAKURA AND MEILIN TAG TEAM FIGHT WOOOO

“Aren’t you and Syaoran doing too much for those you care about, and forgetting to care about yourselves?” WELL DAMN MEILIN U R THE NEW TEENAGE SUPERHERO THERAPIST

“Can I call you ‘Sakura’ from now on, too?” AHHH THESE KIDS

LMAO AMAZING IT TOOK 13 STRAIGHT EPISODES FOR MOMO TO EVEN TWITCH

“We are indeed progressing... toward that time” I feel THREATENED

Once again I cannot stress strongly enough how much I love physical comedy

Sakura: They don’t seem to be causing any harm

The dessert rolls:

GOD the roll cakes eating each other to form one giant monster Babushka doll roll cake jhfjkdhgkdjhgkj incredible

EXCUSE ME MA’AM WHY WAS THERE A DEMON GIRL IN THE REFLECTION OF THIS SHATTERED CARD

“Please laugh again” Akiho is v nice I really hope Kaito isn’t mean

“Once a magical contract is formed, it can’t be broken, unless something really serious happens” [Quirrel voice] Can anyone tell me what foreshadowing is?

“What do you feel” “I think it’s a card” Very observant Sakura I think they gathered that

When Sakura gets all four of the base elements is Momo going to turn into a 200 pound giant rabbit

I like that every time Toya is concerned about Sakura, Yue appears suddenly to discuss the matter seriously with him [Gay and Wondorous Life of Caleb Gallo voice] He’s in this relationship!!

“When you’re angry or upset, it shows on your face, even if you don’t say it” Yue IS in this relationship woooow

“When humans realize they’re talking to a fox, they won’t sell you mittens. In fact, they’ll catch you and put you in a cage.” UH who is the fox in this metaphor not Sakura I hope???

Years later Syaoran is still winded if Sakura makes too much eye contact khgkghkjg

The fact that Yukito reads at a children’s hospital... truly one of The Nicest Not-Humans On Earth

Well with each passing episode we have less and less reasons to trust these cards and Kaito the Young Magical Butler

Ever since Kaito reversed time, I cannot shake the persistent thought that Akiho IS Nadeshiko. That’d be weird but u know... I’ve seen this show do weirder

“Your sweets look better” “No, yours!” Grandpa witnessing this date

“Also if Sakura-chan goes to college or wants to do something else, he wants to help” TOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

“Any further, and you won’t be able to return” NADESHIKO BE MORE SPECIFIC

“It was my robe” Wait what ur family is a magical society or smth and somehow u don’t know Akiho??? How in the whomst

Everyone in this anime is like, ‘Haha Yue looks mad’ as if Yue does not look mad every second that he’s alive

KHKJHKFJHKJFHJ GRANDPA MASAKI REALLY GONNA GIVE SAKURA A HOUSE AND TOYA NOTHING LMAO WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE THE LEAST FAVOURITE GREAT-GRANDCHILD LOL

“Nadeshiko would talk to things that weren’t there, and try to reach an understanding with things that couldn’t talk” 91 EPISODES LATER AND MR. KINOMOTO FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGES MAGIC?? OKAY

AND HE KNEW BOTH SAKURA AND TOYA HAVE HAD MAGICAL PROBLEMS FOR 3 YEARS!!! MR. KINOMOTO WHAT KIND OF HANDS-OFF PARENTING

“I want me to tell me [about your pain] too” wow this is the CALL-OUT EPISODE

“The house they live in was once torn down and replaced with an amusement park” were the continuity errors of accepting the second movie... A PLOT POINT?!?!?!

DAMN U KAITO I REALLY WANTED THINGS TO BE OKAY FOR AKIHO

“But I’ve got a great poker face” “Yes you do. But Yue does not” JKHDKJGHKJSHGKJHDKJGHSDJGHKJH BY DIALOGUE ALONE IT’S LIKE WHENEVER ANYONE SEES YUE’S FACE TWITCH IT MEANS HE’S HAVING AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN

Yue: Evil magic looming overhead is bad for your wifi signal actually

“I will obtain these new cards. So I can use the relic I took from the association to activate that magic spell” Kaito really laying out his motivations out loud in a library. Insensible. Vague and probably misleading. 1/10 villainous monologue

Sakura’s powers are WILD she can duplicate the strength of her magic

“Power that’s too strong will bring unhappiness to its owner” SYAORAN :((

I feel like the only way this can end is Toya giving Sakura magical noogie so she doesn’t have to carry all of her powers like the reverse of what he did for Yue-kito

THERE IS TOO LITTLE TIME LEFT IN THIS SHOW FOR ALL THE ANSWERS I NEED THERE’S ONLY 20 MINUTES AHHHH

THERE ARE 12 MINUTES LEFT AND STILL NO ANSWERS!!! WHAT HAPPENSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I GOT ABSOLUTELY NO ANSWERS OH MY GOD?!?!?!?!

Untamed Winter Fest Day 14: Star

It’s Lan Zhan first time experiencing a Jiang Christmas.

Lan Zhan tried not to give himself over to hyperbolic statements, but he considered it more of an observable fact that the backyard of the Jiang vacation home, Lotus Pier, could be seen from space. He felt his statement accurate because of the sheer amount of lights. From all the lights wrapped around the property’s outdoor evergreens (he was not aware that was a thing for personal homes this time of year), to the near forest of inflatable Christmas yard decor (each with their own lights), the tennis court turned into some facsimile of an ice rink also with bright lights, music, singing penguins, and a fake snow machine.

That didn’t even account for the inside of the house.

He couldn’t imagine how much energy they were wasting. Or how no one had complained about the light pollution in this very exclusive neighborhood on Martha’s Vineyard.

Of course, Lan Zhan couldn’t imagine anyone complaining about Madame Yu to her face and surviving unscathed for very long.

“We have solar panels,” Wei Ying said, wrapping his arms around his waist as they stood looking at the property. “And Uncle is looking for a company to invest in for supplying wind energy.”

He nodded. That was good. They were still using enough power to run a small town, but at least there were solar panels. He was a guest in this home, it wasn’t his place to criticize their traditions or decorating styles or drain on the environment.

“It’s an eyesore,” Wei Ying said. “You can say it. You won’t, but you can. The younger cousins love it though. Madame Yu can’t decorate like this back in Boston, so she overcompensates here.”

“Yes,” he said. There was no point in lying.

Two hours here and he could honestly say he preferred their medium-sized fake tree and lights that didn’t blink in obnoxious patterns and the more classic--Jiang Cheng called it vintage--holiday decor of their apartment back in Cambridge. And how now also understood why Wei Ying, usually the first to gravitate towards things which light up and made noise, preferred what could only be termed ‘classier’ Christmas decor. How could he not, growing up with the spectacle before them.

It was just all too bright and too shiny and too much.

He could only hope their room here, which was still in the process of ‘getting decorated’ didn’t have its own army of singing, dancing, santa-hat-wearing, jingle-bell shaking anything.

“I love you,” Wei Ying said, pressing a series of soft kisses to his nose and cheek.

“I love you too,” he said.

He turned his eyes towards the beachfront part of the property where everything remained untouched by the excess on the other side. It allowed him to breathe and to focus and to try and prepare himself for whatever came next.

**********

The bells in the hallway played music every single time someone walk under them. There were caroling floor mats scattered throughout the house. Mistletoe hung from nearly every available surface (to be fair and honest, he didn’t mind Wei Ying using this to their advantage). The back parlor had an entire stage of animatronic singing polar bears. The basement was dressed up to look like a miniature indoor version of a Dickensian Christmas Village. Even the bathrooms hadn’t escaped Madame Yu’s holiday wrath. Something felt wrong about a toilet seat cover with Rudolph's face on it and at tissue cover on top of the toilet tank with a snowman staring right at him as he stood there. And, of course, each bedroom had their own themed Christmas tree. Lan Zhan had no idea Coca-Cola had that many tree ornaments and yet the one in his bedroom for the next two weeks was proof they very much did.

And then there was the star on the main Christmas tree.

Madame Yu couldn’t have a standard tree topper of course, not for the tree most of the Yus and all the Jiangs saw and stood in front of to take various family portraits throughout the holiday season. No, no normal star would do for photos that would be shared across social media and possibly published in newspapers and magazines. She could’ve gone with the large Moravian star that hung near the backdoor, but no, Madame Yu had found something else entirely. Something Lan Zhan didn’t even know existed until today.

The tree topper, in addition to being a very large star, had an attachment which allowed Santa and his sleigh and his reindeer to ‘fly’ around the top of the tree in constant rotating circles.

The tree topper was nothing compared to the one piece of Madame Yu’s decor he truly despised. In truth, it was a delight to see the smaller cousins in awe over the tree topper. And he supposed, anything on top of such a large tree had to be large and obvious and eye-catching, if only to balance out its sheer size. The tree topper could be excused, this though? This could not.

Lan Zhan thought he’d prepared himself well for this trip. He’d heeded all of Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng’s warnings. He’d packed ear plugs and a sleeping mask per Jiang Yanli’s advice. He’d watched as many holiday films as he could find, including borrowing some of Huaisang’s extensive Hallmark Christmas Films collection.

Nothing had prepared him for the pure creepiness of the infamous Elf on a Shelf. Or Elves on all the Shelves and in the trees, in the corners of rooms, on top of the fridge. Everywhere. Their beady little eyes staring him down. Even if the voice in his head currently sounded like Wei Ying, he did, absolutely, believe that this was the start of a horror film.

“I’m so sorry,” Wei Ying said as he swept through their room, collecting at least five of the plastic and cloth demons and throwing them out into the hall. “She’s never been this bad about them before. I swear, she’s sitting in her bedroom right now, sipping some wassail and cackling.”

“Wassail?” he asked.

“We’ll keep you to the regular apple cider,” Wei Ying said. “I’m pretty sure Madame Yu pours an entire barrel of bourbon into her wassail.”

He was fidgeting, and talking too fast, and looking everywhere but at him.

Lan Zhan reached out and stopped his pacing, pulling him close.

“I’m with you, will stand by you, for everything,” he said, cupping his cheek. “And that includes this house possessed by the spirit of Christmas commercialism. I’d rather be by your side amongst all this, than without you again during this time of year. I want to spend Christmas with you, in all your traditions. And I want to kiss you as this year ends and the next one begins. And not just for Chinese New Year. I am greedy, Wei Ying, I want them both.”

“So selfish,” Wei Ying teased. He kissed Lan Zhan’s palm, and then his wrist, and then came closer, pushing him down, flopping on top of him in a tired sprawl. “I was so worried you were going to call your brother to come get you.”

“Never,” he vowed.

And not only because he would never, ever, want to force this upon his big brother. The color clashing alone would upset him, not to mention what he would think of all the lights--everywhere.

And he’d wanted this for years now. Ever since their freshman year, it hurt to go back to the Berkshires, knowing he wouldn’t see Wei Ying again until the start of the spring semester. Now he finally got to spend his entire winter break with him and nothing, not even creepy elves and gaudy decorations were going to stop him.

Something above his head caught his eye and he started to laugh.

“Found the mistletoe?” Wei Ying asked. “That was my contribution to this year’s decorating.”

“I love you,” he said, kissing the words into his Wei Ying’s mouth.

Burn This First Preview: 3/15 Show Report

OKAY it’s 3 AM and I’m writing this on my phone so the format might be weird, but I have SO MANY thoughts and feels from tonight I’ve got to let the tidal wave out!!

First off - Yes, he looked gorgeous at stage door and he was so kind trying to sign for everyone he could! (The line was longggg.) I GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH AND THANKED HIM FOR SUCH A MOVING PERFORMANCE AND HE SAID “OH THANK YOU VERY MUCH” AND LOOKED UP AT ME WITH HIS GORGEOUS EYES AND GORGEOUS FACE AND THERE IS A PIC OF THIS MOMENT THAT WILL FOREVER LIVE IN MY HEART:

This is my new OTP, folks: Adam/The back of my head!

I attempted to ask for a pic but was hesitant and security had already half pulled him away so he was like “I don’t know if I’ll have time” sounding so nervous about getting to the whole line. BABY <333

Aksjsknsm I can’t believe I was this close to him - It hasn’t fully set in and omg I better just keep writing before it does set in and I lose my shit completely!

Play Highlights! (This list is Plot-Spoiler free.)

Alas, sadly there is not that much nakedness. He takes his pants off in Act 1 but has underwear and a long shirt on. The BEST is when he comes on wearing one of Keri/Anna’s kimono-style purple silk robes in Act 2 - I nearly DIED and cannot believe I saw that with my own eyes!! When he first steps onstage the robe’s open and he’s only wearing underwear so you get a nice chest glimpse, but then he sadly ties it. (Then proceeds to hilariously struggle with getting one of his arms through the complicated sleeves.) Oh, and did I mention the robe was paired with knee-high socks?

Adam is HYSTERICAL. He doesn’t come on stage for about the first twenty minutes, but when he did, it took all of 5 minutes for the audience to be in the palm of his hand, laughing at every other word he said. His delivery of all of Pale’s curse-laden, barely-logical rants and complaints is just masterful in comedic timing and effect. He’s a literal hurricane when he enters the show, flooding the stage with this frenetic, chaotic energy so intense he’s practically vibrating. He keeps everything at break neck pace, through 0-100 highs and lows where he’s bitching about parking one second, then animal-wail crying the next.

His character’s not likeable. Really, this is a testament and praise to Adam’s acting. After his first couple minutes on stage, there were stretches when I literally forgot it was him. When I was so taken in and then repulsed by this character in turns, his acting prowess overcame even my instinct to love him and everything he does on sight. I’m about to get deeper into the weeds on his character in the next section, but suffice it to say Adam’s performance is stellar and completely, convincingly transformative.

How heated does it get? The only intimate scene that happens in front of the audience includes some slow kissing, a bit down Keri/Anna’s neck, and wandering hands. The rest is implied off stage.

The play is set in the 80s, so while Keri looks KILLER in every single outfit, Adam’s suits are all big and baggy as was the style then and they’re not exactly flattering. His costume look is just a bit weird, not nearly as smolderingly hot as how they styled him in the promo pics. But even with that said.... The scene where they’re both close on the couch, talking softly before kissing happens? I would have still gone for him too. ;_;

The rest of this report is going to dive into and attempt to untangle some of the deeper elements and themes of the play. Stop reading here if you’re avoiding spoilers!

To my perspective, this wasn’t really a play about a smoldering, ill-advised love affair. Yes, that’s the main event, but this play is about so much more.

Anna and Pale are star-crossed lovers. No, not in the Disney or destined interpretation - I mean the proper, tragic meaning. Whatever is between them should not exist. Whatever is between them threatens and harms them both. Whatever is between them is not long for this world, and doesn’t belong in it.

But why doesn’t it belong? Sure, there are the technical, superficial reasons: Anna has a boyfriend; Pale is married with kids (though technically separated); They are polar opposite people - Sharing no visible common interests and with temperaments that couldn’t be more opposite.

What is the one thing stronger than all of that, which first brings them together? Their grief; Their shared (yet deeply personal and divergently different) senses of grief; The solace and understanding they can only find for that grief with each other. The loss they’ve both experienced is life-changing, and has no place to fit into or even exist at all in their normal lives.

And so, they hurtle into an affair that also has no place existing in their normal lives. By the end of the play, they both assert “I don’t want this.” To a certain degree, it’s the truth. It’s unlikely either of them would have willfully chosen to pursue the other, had they met under different circumstances. They would likely never have opened or even tapped at the floodgates of their attraction, unless they had both gravitated towards this dark, abnormal part of life outside the realm of everyday lives, jobs, rational behavior, and decisions.

To me, this play was really about confronting that abnormal, primal, and sometimes unfathomable level of being that exists below the everyday. Pale has a memorable remark about all the little lies people live with and show to the world each day. Sometimes - when it is cut open and its value or sense thrown into question by some great tragedy such as a loss like this - you lose touch with that everyday life and the person you think you are within that everyday world. It becomes painfully juxtaposed and shrunk tiny, in the face of something all-encompassing and all-powerful, like grief. It becomes exposed as paper thin; Everything within it questionable and perhaps useless.

There is something of the profound in an emotion like grief. When it’s shared with someone, it’s no wonder that that also unlocks some profound connection. Anna and Pale don’t like each other as people, and they certainly take no enjoyment in the grief that brought them together. Yet, the relationship that blooms from it contains a compulsion and truth neither of them can deny. Even though they “don’t want this” (the rational, everyday side of their minds talking), they both admit they’ve never felt anything like it before, and they keep finding themselves drawn together. They don’t want to want each other - It’s painful and frightening for both of them, and yet their attraction wraps them both just as completely as their grief.

Anna’s boyfriend Burton is the epitome of the everyday. He earns a lot of money, he’s a well-dressed gentleman. He’s a writer, and fancies he can capture and portray the entire spectrum of human emotion. Even “great love,” as he fumblingly attempts to describe towards the play’s beginning. Yet all his talk is vapid and empty; As is his relationship with Anna. Theirs is one of the everyday, rational variety. It belongs with the small lies we live with and put on and speak and perform each day - To keep our lives square and tidy and comprehensible.

Then - There’s the chaotic, unpredictable, bordering violent being of Pale. He is every sincere, larger-than-life emotion and base instinct most people tamp down and deny voice to. He represents the terrible, uncontrollable, threatening Truth of everyday masks, dark desires, and empty identities of performativity.

Their attraction is not something Anna can bear to look in the face. She throws Pale out and ends the relationship because that deeper truth of true emotion unlocked by her grief cannot coexist with her reality. Her ability to continue dancing, to continue the everyday life she’s trying so hard to believe in and trust the purpose of - It cannot contain Pale. He represents and unlocks profound, unknown feeling that casts the waking world as a shadow.

And yet for all that discomfort, she has an artistic breakthrough after the affair with Pale. She is inspired to finally choreograph Robbie’s final send-off piece. And with Anna, Pale unlocked a part of himself that was calm, gentle, and soothed - A version of himself totally incongruous with his own reality and the identity he wears. Both of them are changed through their journey together through the Profound. It is a deeply uncomfortable, destabilizing place that neither of them wish to remain in. And yet its power is undeniable; Its impact unforgettable. The very experience of it is something they seek comfort for and can only find from each other.

Is it better to tell little lies each day so the world will make sense? So you can understand exactly who’s looking back at you in the mirror, and the quotidian will shade your perception of the invisible and unfathomable depths of human experience? So everything will remain neat and in control?

Or - Does it give meaning to abandon control? To surrender to grief and undesired passion, for the sake of a reality that is uncompromisingly, viscerally, heartbreakingly genuine? The harsh, infinite light all the rest of life seems to be constructed to blot from our eyes?

I really hope that as more people see the play, people will start posting their interpretations as well! I would love some good analysis dialogues! In the meantime, I will now slide right back into flaily, trash fangirl mode.... Thank you for reading all this, if you got this far! Go see this marvelous, haunting play if you’re able!!

All the love to my fangirl besties!!! @reylonly Thanks for making it an amazing night! :’)))
