TDSB: Episode 2, Part 1. Something Fishy This Way Comes...

*Cloud, Richter, and Stevie are in the Smash Bros Lounge watching TV. Cloud is reading, Richter is nursing a glass of wine, and Stevie is playing Candy Crush on his phone with the TV acting as background noise. Wario walks in on them lie this.*

Wario: What's up losers.

Richter: Screw off Wario.

Stevie: Aye mate! We're trying to get our hogwillies a rest 'ere ya humdinginer billabong!

Wario: Once I find out what that means I'll come up with a crushing reply.

*Wario plops down on the couch and grabs the remote, flipping through channels. Cloud looks up from his book, but double takes when he sees something familiar*

Cloud: Hold up! *grabs the remote from Wario*

Wario: Hey! What's the big i-

Cloud, flipping back through the channels: Shut up!

Stevie: Oi mate! What's got your bloomdingers in a sodfeelfen?!

Cloud: Look! It's Ganondorf! He's on TV!

*Sure enough all see Ganondorf on the television, now wearing a gaudy silver suit*

Richter: What the- he's right!

Wario: What the hell is going on here?! ...And why the hell is Ganondorf wearing THAT?

Ganondorf: Last time, on Total Drama Smash Bros! *cuts to the twenty contestants on the dock when they first arrived* Our contestants arrived here in Camp to compete in the greatest Reality TV show yet!

Cloud: That's all the Smashers that Master Hand called away on some secret mission!

Richter: Well now we know that's bullshit.

Ganondorf: *screen cuts to the Smashers joining their respective teams* After forming up and meeting their teammates, it was time for their first challenge, *shot of the contestants playing the game* VOLLEY-BOMB! *shot of Peach negotiating with Pit and Zelda* Alliances were made, *shot of Bonny Janet and Link arguing* strife was founded, *shot of Lucina getting blown away* and days, *shot of Falcon getting blasted* were, *shot of Corrine getting Warlock-Punched* Ruined!

Stevie: Oof, that's a right hard humdinger that is.

Ganondorf: *shot of Falcon getting thrown onto the Boat of Failures* In the end, it was Captain Falcon who was sent home for failing his team when they needed him the most.

Richter: Tough break Falcon.

Wario: But why the hell are they even there?! It makes no sense!

Ganondorf: *the screen returns to Ganondorf on the dock* Can the Goombas learn to trust each other? Will the Koopas learn about Peach's alliance? And who will win this week and find themselves one step closer to winning that sweet, sweet twenty million dollars!

Wario: TWENTY MILLION!?

Richter, clutching his ears: Well, there goes my eardrums.

Ganondorf: Find out this week, on Total! Drama! SMASH BROS!

Wario: I GOTTA GO!

Cloud: Go where?

Wario, jumping out the window and summoning his motorcycle: TO GET THAT TWENTY MILLION!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*The Campers are hanging out in the mess hall, chowing on breakfast crafted by Ridley.*

Robyn, holding up a chunk of “food” with her fork: Are we sure this is food? It seem more like something Godzilla would up-chuck if he had one too many beers.

Marth: I;m fairly certain this substances' mere existence violates the Geneva Convention several times over.

Link, chowing down: Meh. Not the worst thing I've ever eaten. *He takes another big bite as the others of his team look on in horror.* Mmh! Crunchy.

Confessional

Zelda: I know that Link has eaten some questionable things in his adventures, but I had no idea he had such an iron gut! It's terrifying!

Samus, shrugging and digging in: Eat up Koopas. Gotta get your energy up for whatever nightmare Ganondorf has planned.

Roy: Speaking of, where is that Sauron rip-off? *Roy suddenly gets smacked in the face by a Mr Saturn sending him into the wall connecting the Mess to the kitchen*

Ridley: Oi! I'm trying to work here.

Ganondorf, striding into the mess: Sorry my purple friend, but it's time for this week's challenge!

Roy: Everything... is... in pain...

Ganondorf: Move it or lose it Roy boy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Ganondorf has led the Campers to the docks where a series of boats await them. Half the boats are outfitted with Goomba red and the others are painted Koopa green.*

Ganondorf: Welcome to a little challenge I like to call... Man vs. the River Wild!

Samus: Let me guess... some sort of river rafting race with a brutal and sadistic twist to it.

Ganondorf: Eh, you're only half right. No to the rafting race, yes to the brutal and sadistic twist!

Ike: Figures.

Ganondorf: No, you're challenge is something different. *two moblins produce a large blackboard with instructions written all over it.* Ahem, as you can see, today you will be having a fishing competition!

Red: Seriously!? That's awesome! Leaf and I fish for aquatic Pokemon all the time!

Ganondorf: Today, your prize is the rare Spotted Buck-Salmon. *he holds up an example*

Lucina: Wait a minute, that just looks like a regular salmon you super-glued antlers onto!

*King K Rool, off to the side, slides a box of crappy dollar store antlers out of sight whilt whistling nonchalontly.*

Ganondorf: Regardless of their status as novelty items, you have to catch them! But be warned. These waters are filled with piranha, *Petey the Piranha Plant wearing a scuba outfit surfaces and waves at them.* sharks, *a shark pops out of the water and swallows Petey whole, grinning evilly afterward* and other unspeakable horrors from the depths that even H.P. Lovecraft would never be able to dream up! *a massive tentacle rises from the water and grabs the shark, dragging it down and causing it to spit up Petey*

Confessional

Link: Finally! Something I know I'm good at! I went fishing all the time in Hyrule.

Confessional

Ganondorf: In one of my many times trying to take over Hyrule I needed to find a way to delay Link. I tried two different strategies. First, I sent an army of undead after him, led by an Elder Lich. Secondly, I used a shovel to dig out a pit that a filled with water, stuck a “Free Fishing” sign in front of it while spreading the rumor that there was a rare fish inside.

One of those tactics bought me a whole month of time, and the other he beat in an hour.

Take a guess which one was which. Take a wild fucking guess.

Corrine: Okay, what's the horrible bullshit twist you've got for us this time?

Ganondorf: Aww, you know me so well.

*Corrine rolls her eyes*

Ganondorf: The twist? You can either catch the fish yourself, or wait for someone else to catch it and steal it from them!

Robyn: Wow, you're right. That IS bullshit.

Ganondorf, unperturbed: You have ten minutes to pick a partner to fish with and select which bait and tackle you'll use. Whichever team catches the biggest fish wins!

*the group splits up, partnering up with each other*

Dark Pit: Hey, dick knozzle! We've got an odd number of people! How are we gonna partner up?!

Ganondorf: Ah yes, well I guess one of your boats is going to have to hold three. *Peach immediately grabs Pit and Zelda, her hidden alliance members* Of course... those boats are only meant to hold two. Better be careful.

Confessional

Peach: I'll admit I'm not good at fishing. I always fail that minigame in Mario Party. But hey, Zelda and Pit both have to have some experience between them.

Confessional

Pit: Oh boy! My first time fishing! This is going to be so much fun!

Confessional

Zelda: Link took me fishing once... I caught something right away but... the poor fishy... *starting to cry* staring at me like that!

Peach: We'll handle it Ganondorf.

Ganondorf: Alright, whatever.

*The rest of the teams form. The Goomba Teams are: Daisy and Ike, Leaf and Red, Corrine and Rosalina, Joker and Marth, Link and Bonny Janet.

The Koopa Teams are: Zelda and Peach and Pit, Roy and Samus, Erdrick and Robyn, Lucina and Dark Pit*

Link: Hey does anyone want to trade? I'd rather not be teamed up with the Scottish Imp over here.

Bonny Janet: Blow it oot yer bagpipe!

Daisy: This could be a problem.

*Peach thinks for a moment and ten drags Zelda away to whisper in her ear*

Peach, whispering: When we're out there, I'm going to bring us up beside Link and Bonny Janet. Find a way to make tensions fly.

Zelda: I don't know Peach-

Peach: Link is the best fisher on their side! You have to, for the team.

*Zelda reluctantly nods. The teams are set! The battle begins...*

Yup.

There are a few reasons I took so long to get to this. The first is that I heard that it wasn’t like Subspace Emissary, which was what I thought we were getting from the trailer. The second is that I much prefer playing Smash multiplayer than single player, so whenever I’d get on, I’d usually play Classic, unlock a character (or two) really quick, then jump straight to Wifi. XD But the biggest reason? Spla2n. Whenever I’d sit down to play a game, I’d usually default to that one. I’m still getting used to balancing between two favorite games, and when one of those games has Splatfests, Salmon Run, and frequently rotating stages and modes, that’s the one I’m gonna wanna play more. XD

But, recently, I’ve really wanted to finally play World Of Light, so last night, I finally decided to take a break from Spla2n and do just that. I know, I know, me, take a break from Spla2n? GASP!! But I’m pretty sure I can handle it. XD I’ll keep up with it in the meantime so I don’t miss any wildcard Salmon Runs, and the next Splafest won’t be for a couple weeks, so this IS a good time for it. Also, I’m gonna play Spla2n on weekends just so I can stay at least a BIT in practice (as charger mains need to do).

But for now, I’m gonna tackle this really massive part of Smash that I’ve neglected up till now...

To get this outta the way, YES, it does bother me that there aren’t any cutscenes of the characters interacting. The one at the beginning was gorgeous, really cinematic, so they coulda made more! But they didn’t. Bummer...but not a complete deal-breaker. This is Smash, after all...

So, this Spirit system! When I first started, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. It kinda reminded me of how in Subspace, you could put stickers on your characters’ trophy stands to give them different buffs and effects when you use them. Except here, it’s not character-specific, and they also put a LOT more emphasis on it rather than having it be completely optional. I like my characters as they are, so given the opportunity I’d just use them completely vanilla, but I figured “why not” and decided to give Spirits a try.

And...I was pleasantly surprised! It’s a good mechanic! It adds a bit more strategy to the fighting while also not being TOO complicated - you just pick a primary Spirit and one or more supporting Spirits (based on how many slots the primary Spirit has) and they stack, simple as that. There’s also a level up system for primary Spirits, so if one seems weak, you can make it stronger!...Or you can be like me and just use your most powerful ones from the start. XD The whole rock-paper-scissors thing they got going on with Attack, Throw, and Defense is also neat, making it so that you have incentive to rotate out primary Spirits instead of sticking to one favorite the whole game. It’s just a very well-designed system, and I like it!

My current favorite Spirits are Octoling for Defense, Tron Bonne for Throw, and Charmander for Attack (though I’d like a better Attack one). Octoling was one I started with, so it’s the strongest so far, but Tron Bonne is catching up really quickly - she has three slots on her, and being a Throw Spirit means that she’s the one I used in....a certain fight I got stuck at, and she kept leveling up from that. XD

As for characters, I’m REALLY happy that Kirby is the one you start with, since I’m....decent with him. Not the best, I mainly use him when I’m not feeling competitive, but he’s a lot of fun, and very user-friendly. I’ve also rescued Villager! I had a choice whether to save him, Marth, or Sheik, and I chose him because he’s a character I use fairly often. I didn’t know that the other two choices get cut off from you, though, so I really should’ve gone for Sheik, as she’s a character I have yet to unlock, but...for now, she’ll have to wait.

So, I’ve been cycling between Kirby and Villager - two characters that I LIKE, but aren’t MAINS particularly, and each Spirit I face has a unique twist. Some matches are stamina matches, which is a mode I barely ever think about, let alone play, and I particularly got a chuckle out of Snake Man puppetting a team of Snakes. XD But, by FAR, the one that stuck out the most to me, and the only one I’ve lost so far, is the fight against Fiora. That fight GAVE ME HELL, and considering it’s in the FIRST AREA, that really gives me a sense of foreboding for what’s to come....I mean, YES I’m gonna save characters I’m better with down the line, but what if the Spirits step up their game at the same pace I am!? It’s game design!

But anyway, Fiora. In her fight, she’s puppetting Lucina and has a Shulk assisting her. I had on Tron Bonne due to her being a Defense Spirit, and equipped a supporter that gave me resistance against melee weapons, and another supporter that boosts my damage when I’m badly hurt. Sounds like I’m well-equipped, right? But the gimmick of the fight was downright BRUTAL - after a while, your defense lowers, and it’d keep lowering again and again the longer you stay alive. IT. SUCKS. ESPECIALLY as characters who are already lightweight! And Lucina and Shulk are no joke either, Shulk especially with his Monado Arts! So I lost about a dozen battles as both my characters, decided to quit and go another way, came back later, lost a bunch AGAIN, and only after I had defeated nearly every Spirit in the area and came back a third time did I FINALLY win. I won as Kirby, and I’m not sure how I did it other than....I adapted. Simple as that. Also Final Cutter. =P

Hopefully my future posts won’t be as rambly as this. I just wanted to explain how I feel about the gameplay and THEN talk about my experiences.

Also, after I finished for the night, I got challenged by Peach, and beat her pretty easily as Villager (I’m yellin’ TIMBEEEERRRR!) so, yeah, I got another unlock, and I didn’t even free her, I just got her by PLAYING WoL. Eh, not that it matters to me. I don’t use Peach. She’s fine, has some good tools and all, but my distaste for her as a character is why I don’t use her.

Progress so far:

#lauri plays smash ultimate #galeem has a really AWESOME design by the way #really cool looking #big step up from tabuu who was kinda weird

Astra 4

How does anyone wash their hands with a spacesuit on?

Those exaggerated faces (reaction to candy plants) weren’t in the manga. Good thing too – they improve on the source.

Hey, man (Ulgar)! “Big girl” is offensive. (I’m probably saying that because I’m not too big myself.)

The *ding ding ding!* was pretty hilarious…LOL.

I remember this was pretty harsh to read for me the first time…because y’know what they say about representation mattering in feminist studies/articles? Yeah, that. (Exactly how I’m represented? That I’ll leave to your imagination…)

Aw, the Gruppie sounds adorable!

I think I’ve said this already, but Kanata uses the word “zetsubou” – despair, not necessarily “hopeless” – to say what he says.

Demon Slayer 17

I was a bit confused as to why Inosuke was majorly angry all the time, but then I realised that he’s not necessarily angry, per se - he is just majorly competitive.

*head on spider legs appears* ARGHHHHHHHHHHH! That reminds me of that head on spider legs from Toy Story…I seem to remember that freaked me out to some degree. I’m actually not afraid of spiders, but show me an image for “trypophobia” (fear of tiny holes) or stick me somewhere high up without secure footing…and I’m gone.

This episode is…great! I’m cursing as I watch, but it’s great! The CGI is adding to the creepiness! Also, I so didn’t expect Zenitsu to have black hair.

I agree with Zenitsu’s master, he is a moron…

…but truth be told, I think I see myself in him. That’s probably why I find him so annoying. Lately, I’ve found there are periods where I resent myself more than anyone else…and that’s the scariest part about living life. But I can’t complain, because I put my name down to help others in the same situation.

Z-Zenitsu! I-I’m sorry I ever doubted you! I’m so sorry…! I promise I’ll stop thinking you’re annoying, because you remind me of meeeeeeeeeee…! *sob, snivel, sob…*

Ukogiiiiiiiiii! Wahhhhhhhhh!

Hmm…you can smell rain. I’ve smelt it before. But thunderclouds…? Not so much.

Demon Slayer 18

“Rookie Mizunoto join the battle!” – The Smash Bros intro is a fun way to introduce people, no?

I thought Shinobu Kocho was Naruto running, but instead she has her jacket on her shoulders…so it only looks like Naruto running.

CG models are back to being awkward again…

“If you can’t slash something with one sword, you just gotta pound it with another sword!” – Basically, the philosophy of the entire shonen genre when dealing with swords.

“I’m gonna die.” – Well, there’s some words I thought I’d never hear from Inosuke…

Oh yeah…I forgot Inosuke’s never met Giyu.

Hmm…I’ve been suspecting Rui is the member of the 12 Kizuki as a demon with lower possibility of being so (but being raised by Ply’s hint during our collab and Tanjiro’s fight), but I’m more certain of the father being the 12 Kizuki based on what the series has shown us already. Hmm…so who is it???

*starts watching Taisho Secret* Wait, where did Giyu come from??? *watches again* Oh, he appears from above…! Interesting…

Hmm…I like salmon onigiri myself. I also like tuna…most flavours, really.

Cop Craft 4

The man (?) with the purplish hair who called Kei over is meant to be a gay stereotype or at least close to one. Aside from his (?) appearance, you can tell by him (?) nding his sentences with “wa”.

Marth’s post for ep. 4 said “And Suddenly, Vampires”, so…I’m thinking about how Cop Craft actually does the horror vibe really well as I watch.

Aw, these cliffhangers suck! I’m starting to thank myself that I ran behind on every show but Demon Slayer.

Cop Craft 5

O-Oh, the CG is getting worse…

Who was the 2nd person dead? The 1st was Chapman…

Astra 5

As I’m laughing at the reactions from the makeover (because I knew this was coming), I’m simultaneously wondering…holding those scissors in the way you’re doing is dangerous, Luca!!!

Oh great…midseason animation slump. This is only the 2nd show to suffer from that this season…and I’ve only caught up on 3 shows so far.

“Mine is bigger!” “No, mine is!” – Ah, anime boys and their ability to make things vaguely Freudian when out of context…*slight sweatdrop*

*slow pan, with a final shot on Aries’s boobs* - Oh, really…? *grumpy*

*…then proceeds to do boob shots of all the girls* Oh, really?!? You wanna go, show?! You were doing so well, up until this episode!!! I didn’t read past volume 2 of the manga, so this beach stuff is all new to me!!! Plus, it sucks because boob shots are everywhere!!!

“…approach him like that…”

People have been pointing this out, but McPa = Camp, Shummoor = Mushroom, Vilavurs = Survival…so Arispade = Paradise.

Ulgar really reminds me of Tooi, even though he came first…

Dr Stone 3

Taiju’s ugly tears make me go “d’aww” now that this scene is animated…it was nice in manga format, but even better when it was moving and with colour.

Now that I think about it, Tsukasa’s “benefit of the new world” talk reminds me of Death Note.

Senku trying to steal Kamakura Buddha bronze looks like Bart Simpson…

Boueibu should’ve taught you that Hakone is home to hot springs.

Dr Stone 4

You don’t fire a smoke signal…

Oh wow, Mecha Senku! Wouldya lookit that! *points at him* He answers questions in the manga, so I didn’t think he’d get adapted!

Are those…CGI trees? Oh great, why does all shonen these days need CGI trees???

Fighting over established interests means a Thucydides trap (a mini version of which seems to be playing out here with Tsukasa)…that’s basically the only thing I remember from my old politics classes.

I just noticed Yuzuriha refers to all the boys with –kun. She wants to stay friends with all of them…I guess even Tsukasa’s on that list, huh?

Hmm…Senku’s eyes are a reddish colour, but otherwise he’s normally representd with blue to Taiju’s red…

I just realised Senku has a red pen and a black pen in one of his breast pockets.

Aww…it’s nice to have rivals who aren’t 100% evil for once. Sure, pure evil rivals are easy to write but hard to justify. Good guys with one morally wrong aspect to them are harder to write, but easier to get behind. (Plus, at least they’re not Sasuke-style angsty.)

Dr Stone 5

So…I went searching…and I was wondering why I wanted to claim Tsukasa as husbando (but man, he’s a bit more stereotypical for a gal to fall in love with – all girls like bad guys, amirite???), but as it turns out, Senku and his buds from our era (Tsukasa included) are 18 and so are ripe for the husbando/waifu picking (not to mention they’re technically over 3700 years old, which more than makes them legal for things like drinking alcohol, as Senku himself pointed out a few eps back).

D’aww…this was in the manga, but now I find Tsukasa inserting himself into Senku’s flashback cute.

Notably, Gen Asagiri appears on the front of the book this student is asking the question from. Who’s Gen Asagiri, you ask, my dear anime-only random nonexistent entity I type these notes for? You’ll find out…soon.

Hmm…Yuzuriha is more observant than we give her credit for. Also, Senku pulled a Gen Asagiri right there…LOL.

LOL…those ‘shrooms seem massively symbolic. They were also in the manga, IIRC.

Why does Yuzuriha wear a neck scarf, anyway?

Hey, they even managed to get the game-like text box right! Awesome! (It reminds me of Little Alchemy, to be honest.)

“Himo” translates to rope…or a cord. Just FYI.

Astra 6

Eyyy…this show is calling me out.

Eyyyyy…Toi vibes from Ulgar!!!

Eyyyyy…wut? I can’t believe Anime Feminist was on the money here??? (Context: The reviewer for Astra said Luca was “one ambiguously-gendered character”.)

Hey…I once read a book with a 50% similarity to this plot. (There was a gay character – not intersex - and all the characters are adopted.)

I think Xenodude said this, but…in space, nobody can hear you scream.

I’m laughing so hard…why are Kanata’s abs the thing that hurt the most? (It’s because he’s got the harness in that region…forget I asked. It’s still funny though.)

“MILD THING” – Yep, Ulgar’s gonna be mild after what happened this episode…

Ohhhhh, I didn’t understand the “hairpiece” thing until it was revealed it was a toupee through context.

Ooh, 50% chance of lying here. Who to trust, who to trust? Charce or Aries? (I trust Aries, by the way.)

Dr Stone 6

The alien explanation etc. was in the manga, but…why do all the attackers look like Senku???

Senku does his best Thinker impression.

Eyyy! Fighter vs. fighter. I love this scene, even if only because Tsukasa (and his muscles) have the upper hand in both the visual angle and the power balance, although [BLEEP <- no spoilers!] has the surprise factor.

I remember learning once blonde hair is recessive…so does that mean most of the community is blonde? (I know the answer to that, but you, my non-existent anime-discussing entity, don’t.)

I’m tempted to hear Senku scream, “This. Is. SCIENCE!!!”

Fruits Basket 15

For some reason, videos run much faster on my phone than my laptop…

Hmm…this is the first time I’m properly listening to the 2nd ED…It’s kinda like how you’d expect an ED to be: quieter than an ED, but still serving up cuteness.

Fruits Basket 16

This episode’s visually very dark…

Middle School!Tohru reminds me of Hitori Bocchi.

Smol Uo looks like Kyo.

Fruits Basket 17

(nothing this time, sorry!)

Fruits Basket 18

Oh! I remember the matching scene in the manga (where Kisa bites Tohru for the first time).

I also remember the manga Hatsuharu is reading is called “Mogeta and the Ant” (Ari).

Now you see why Tohru is Kyoko’s daughter…

“…what her hair and eye colour were.”

Fruits Basket 19

The ep is called “I’m So Sorry!”…I think I know who’s going to star in this episode, alright…

For some reason, when I see Ritsu and Mitchan apologising to each other, I think of me and Astral…(LOL…?)

…Or maybe it reminds me of Zenitsu…?

Eyyyyyyyy, A-ya is A-ya…

This overly-apologetic character of Ritsu…this is why Martin was my favourite character back in the original Ro.Te.O days…*sighs while basking in nostalgia*

Demon Slayer 19

This episode’s been hyped since last week. Let’s get on with it!

Ooh, no pattern on this title card…

Wow (sarcastic), talk about infighting…but amazingly, I found Inosuke’s art shift to be funny for once in my life! (Amazing!...and yes, the exclamation of “Amazing!” is sincere)

Using terror is…well, Machiavellian. Hard power. You get my drift, right?

So basically, Rui breaks down the nuclear family for us.

Wait a flippin’ second…Hinokami (god of fire)? Charcoal selling? Water Breathing??? One of these is not like the others, for sure.

I get the feeling the father’s dance was recorded as video then converted to animation by ufotable staff…that’s what they did for YoI, no?

“The cold won’t bother you, either.” - Well, due to his fire theming, the cold never bothered Tanjiro anyway…*echoes of “Let It Go” suddenly play in the background*

Go for it, Nezuko! Be the Bakugo of the Demon Slayer world!

According to the credits, Tanjiro’s dad’s name is Tanjuro…that’s confusing, to say the least…

(Sorry Astral, the background noise while I was watching meant I did’t watch it with sound on…Also, is it wrong that I think the dad is hot??? Another thing: why do Tanjuro and Tanjiro have matching scars on their temples…?)

One of Tanjiro’s bros looks like Zenitsu??? Wuh???

Ooh, insert song “Kamado Tanjiro’s Song” by Go Shiina ft Nami Nakagawa. I’ll have to listen to it when I can. (Ever since SGRS, I’ve loved Go Shiina’s work…guess I didn’t expect it here, though.) Update: Misattributed the work. Go Shiina does videogame work, Sheens Ringo did SGRS stuf.

Given 3

I never knew that asking someone into a band was like asking someone out…(probably because I’ve never been in a band).

Given’s a frickin’ riot – that’s one reason I stuck with it.

I forgot Mafuyu was underage…!

Cop Craft 6

That car chase was basically Need for Speed…with worse graphics…

“Prayboy”…hmm…

I followed Kei’s advice to Google Jeffrey Dahmer…and I regret it.

The text says “Someone from the Semanian gang of thieves made contact.”

I didn’t make sense of “I hate being McCloud” until I rewound a bit and found that’s a disguise or alter ego of Tony’s.

“Shift the transmission into ‘Reverse’. The car will begin to roll backward sharply…” - The driving instructions are real, at least.

Given 4

Ehhhhh…still shots…

Kaji sure looks tough for a violinist…but a music major? Never thought he’d be one…(I saw some spoilers saying Kaji was a violinist before I watched the episode, hence my lack of surprise in that department.)

Not everyone’s in a band, y’know…

$120…? Nasty…

$70…

Ah, a layby? I don’t actually know what other countries call it, but where I am they’re called laybys, not layaways. (At the charity store I volunteer at, they call ‘em “holds”, though…which makes things even more confusing.)

Watching th first ep at the anime club made me realise that one had a piano version of Marutsuke, while this one is standard Marutsuke.

Given 5

Ooh, I see English-translated lyrics! Nice one, subbers! By the way, the title of the OP “Kizuato” sounds like it should translate to “Traces of Scars/Wounds” in English, but it’s in katakana, so I can’t confirm that…

It seems joining a band is a metaphor for love in this show…(see ep. 3 notes for more on that)

Holy moly! I’m still fairly new to BL/yaoi in general, so two-timing the boyfriend is not a trope ‘ve seen before, let alone dealt with in my head…

Ooh, more translated lyrics! That (ED singer) does sound like Mafuyu, come to think of it…

8 Foods That Can Boost Your Metabolism

Watching your waistline? Reach for these foods to crank up your fat-burning potential.

When it comes to losing weight, metabolism plays a key role. Put simply, metabolism is the process by which your body converts food to energy and, thus, burns calories. While it’s unlikely that a slow metabolism is to blame for steadily-increasing numbers on the scale, what you eat and drink—in addition to your level of physical activity—does have an impact.

As it turns out, choosing certain foods can help put you on the fat-blasting path.

“When you eat foods that contain protein, your body expends more energy to metabolize this protein,” says Amy Gorin, RDN.

Tea

If you’re looking to rev up your fat-burning potential, reaching for a cup of hot tea—specifically the green variety—could be the way to go.

“Regularly drinking green tea may increase metabolism because of the caffeine and catechins it contains,” says Gorin.

Research published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that green tea extract may provide a small boost in metabolism for up to 24 hours.[1]

“Green tea contains a particular type of catechin called EGCG that contributes to the tea’s ability to promote fat oxidation and increase metabolism beyond just the effects of caffeine alone” Gorin says.

However, results could differ on a case-by-case basis.

“Catechins may have different effects on metabolism depending on your ethnicity,” Gorin explains. “For example, research suggests that Caucasians are less sensitive to the metabolic effects than Asians.”[2]

Eggs

Jumpstart your metabolism first thing in the morning by including eggs as part of your breakfast. Not only can they be cooked up in a variety of ways (meaning you’ll never get bored of them), but the protein-packed yolks can give your metabolism a nice little boost, while keeping you satiated.[3] In fact, a 2008 study found that participants who included an egg breakfast as part of a healthy weight-loss diet lost significantly more weight than those participants who ate a calorie-matched meal without eggs.[4]

Chicken Breast

We know that eating—the act of chewing, swallowing, and breaking down food—expends energy, but not all calories are made (or spent) equally.

“When you eat foods that contain protein, your body expends more energy to metabolize and store this protein,” says Gorin.

In comparison to the 5-10 percent of total calories it takes to break down carbs and the 0-3 percent it takes to break down fats, protein takes the most energy to digest. A whopping 20-30 percent of total calories that come from your protein source are used to digest it. Chicken breast makes for a great lean protein source, and it can be prepped in a variety of ways: Throw a pound in the crock pot for shredded tacos, dice it up with some veggies to throw on the grill for kabobs, or bake it in the oven alongside a tasty sweet potato.

Red Pepper

Research shows that eating spicy foods may help keep your metabolism humming. Several studies have shown that adding red pepper (anywhere from 6-10 grams) to your meal can increase energy expenditure, while also decreasing appetite at subsequent meals.[5,6]

Pick your heat of choice. The capsaicin found in chili peppers and paprika has been shown to boost metabolic rates and decrease cholesterol absorption, while increasing fat-metabolizing enzymes. Looking for other hot ways to give your metabolism a boost? Reach for some Tabasco sauce, add a chili-powder rub to your chicken, or dip your chips in hot (not mild) salsa.

Beans

Next time you’re looking to turn that side salad into a full meal, or looking for a quick dish to add to your meal that won’t come at a high calorie cost, think beans. Beans are a good source of fiber, protein, and B vitamins.

B vitamins play an important role in converting food into fuel, allowing us to stay energized throughout the day. With 15 grams of protein, 15 grams of fiber, and only 227 calories per cup serving, a helping of black beans will help you feel full longer and come at a low-calorie cost.

Coffee

“Drinking a cup of coffee in the morning can do more than just keep you awake, it can also aid in healthy weight management,” says Bodybuilding.com science editor Krissy Kendall, PhD.

Caffeine, the active ingredient in coffee, has been shown in multiple studies to boost metabolism and increase the rate of fat breakdown.[7,8] Consider replacing the milk or water in your overnight oats with a cup of coffee. It’s definitely a case where two is better than one.

“In addition to the energy and metabolism pick-me-up you’ll get with the coffee, the fiber in the oats can help slow down digestion and keep you full longer,” Kendall adds.

Greek Yogurt

Not only is Greek yogurt packed with protein, but it’s an excellent source of calcium.

“We often think of calcium as a bone-building mineral, but it can also provide a small increase in thermogenesis, allowing your body to burn more calories,” Kendall says.

Multiple studies have shown that diets higher in calcium can lead to greater reductions in fat mass when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.[9,10] If Greek yogurt isn’t your thing, opt for regular plain yogurt, low-fat milk, or cottage cheese.

Salmon

This fatty fish is an excellent source of omega-3s, which is key if you’re looking to crank up your metabolism.

“EPA and DHA, two essential fatty acids found in omega-3s, can have a positive effect on leptin—a hormone that regulates metabolism rate,” Kendall says.

Studies have shown that diets higher in omega-3s can have favorable effects on body composition by increasing metabolic rate, energy expenditure during exercise, and lean mass.[11-13]

The Spirit of Nirn CH3 P03

Some music to go along with the reading xD

youtube

« "I have no idea what this stubborn Nord told you, but I bet half of it he read off the stones in the cemetery." » Marthe told the guards with a smile, before her fingers again nervously around the fabric of the green dress. After all, she confessed Kust to be able to read, what in the world in which the people lived, did not belong to everyday life. As far as she could find out, it was reserved for the magicians and priests, as well as for the rich, to afford books and the teachers who taught them to read. Marthe had already made this discovery a few years ago, for Saarh had always been sincere and honest when she had told her of the world of men, from whom Marthe has kept away since her birth. It was unthinkable what would happen if she were to meet her father. She had not learned anything about his whereabouts so far. The angelic smile remained intact as she watched the guards of Falkreath still unimpressed and melt their warnings precisely on her tongue. «" The reason why I'm here is, I promised a sweet roll and a salmon to someone with a great hunger, and since it's too late to bake and fish, I thought maybe I could find it there ... "» She showed the guards in her innocent way the tavern of the city, in which one could buy both to secure the little conundrum waiting for her would be happy after all. «" ... that I might buy it there. You must know, he will be unpalatable if it is not enough, and it will terribly affect his stomach and his impetuous mind."» She stayed with the truth, even though the guards, stupid as they were, saw quite different images in front of their inner eyes. They probably had not the slightest idea that the young woman was talking about a bear cub and not of a man she has to warm at cold nights. Her golden gaze raises to the sky at one point and she saw Masser and Secunda wandering around the horizon and she let a helpless sigh flowing over her poppy-red lips. If it weren't the guards that would stop her from following this unknown path it would be the time, that flows like sand through spread fingers. The young lass caught them off guard with this sad look into the dark night sky and with a growled warning they let her go, though they don't want to and don't have to. Aware of this circumstance, Marthe offers warm thanks to them, not sure why they won't let her wandering the streets all alone. A hungry growl accompanied her when she finally entered the Dead Mans Drink. A growl as loud as a debate between the legendary Dragons which had returned to Skyrim a very long time ago. A soft shiver run down her arms, feeling sorry for Rumper and that he has to wait for so long now. Not even the Luna Moth's, sitting on his fur were able to bring him some joy. He was hungry. So hungry. And another growl echoed from the mountains which surround Falkreath. «" I'll be back in a hurry, little One."», Marthe whispered when the door closed behind her. Like a sandstorm, the flowing gold of her eyes began to dance, when she takes a good look around. This was far from everything she ever had expected. Flickering candles draw spooky shadows on the walls that began to dance with every breeze that reached them. Smells, as intense as fresh from a pig's stall, made the young woman briefly stop at one of the support beams. Within a second she closed her eyes for just one moment and a gentle smile could be seen on her lips when Marthe saw a picture of the Matron Grove she called her home. Grown up in the wilderness of the Ancient Forests and the safety of Saarh's Sanctuary, Marthe never visits a house like this tavern before. Just her curiosity to learn more and more about the foreign world of men had forced the Spirit of Nirn to tell her what she wanted to know. Her golden eyes try to find Masser and Secunda through the small windows and a disappointed sigh left her lips. She has to be careful. Very careful to not miss the time to go. But again Ya'els words come to her mind and pushed the insecurities away. At least for one moment. After approaching the innkeeper she was heavily surprised to talk to a woman and not one of those drunken men. Strong, tough but in her own way kind, the innkeeper tells her a story of a bunch of hunters she missed now for days. She told Marthe that they went out on a hunt for bears and one of her red brows raise higher and higher when she learned where they want to hunt.

Mossmother Cavern was a sacred place and far from being a hunting ground for mere humans. « "The men you are waiting for have invaded a sacred place of Kynareth. Make sure to pray for their return, but don't ask me to help you in this matter." » Soft, gentle and calm sounded her response to the innkeeper's sad story, but Marthe wasn't willing to help her and her friends. No mere human was supposed to enter this cave, hidden deep in the Ancient Forests. Within this small conversation, she missed the moment when her small and fragile silhouette was mantled by a large; a very large shadow and a massive hand, or maybe a predators prank was put on the counter. The moment, Marthe turned around was a moment of shock. Close to her, with a voice like a bear, the giant she has seen before was now hanging around, talking... better asking the innkeeper the third time for the belayed delivery of Black-Briar-Mead and something similar to drink. He was supposed to meet his Captain here and kept waiting for him for he had no clue how long it would take for Sayid to accompany the High-Priestess of the Company back to her Sanctuary when they left the Old Chapel in Riverwood nearly one day ago. Mealy poppy-red lips had formed a perfect "O", while she was busy to behold him from his feet... up to his legs which were as thick as young trees, up to his arms which were stronger than her own legs and the whole way up to his face. A very long way up and a damn long way down to watch. It wasn't an attracted gaze but a very impressed and curious one for sure. The first thing that comes to her mind was a bear. Not sure why, but that seems to fit for him.

What she hasn't noticed thus far was a small detail which one could overlook very quick. It was a small ring he was wearing on his right hand, which showed his boundaries and ties to the Black Wolf Company. It was the same ring, Sayid and most members of the Company were wearing. Stranger and foreigner may think, that the Wolf the small ring showed was related to the name of the Company, and maybe they were all right. But there was more to this small odd. When Marthe's gaze crossed his finger, a small vision came across her thoughts like a flashlight. It was the image of Fenrir, the patron of the Company and Lord of the Canis Lupus. Not sure why she shook her head and let the vision fade away. There were no boundaries noticeable to Hircine as far as she could see for this moment. So Fenrir was the only deity possible for what she suspected. And when his attention reached her she grants him a courageous and gentle smile. Not sure what to say, a lot of options come to her mind. She could invite him to go fish and bake with her. Well, he would bake the Sweet Roll and she would fish the salmon, but that doesn't seem a perfect start for this conversation. She could ask him if it hurts to be so strong and tall and if the air was better all the way up there where he was breathing. « "This isn't the time to devote yourself to your playful and curious nature, young Guardian... so let the moons help you for today." » The soft singing in her mind caught her completely off guard and a rush but intense look around told her, that she was the only one able to hear Ya'els beautiful voice.

« "Little lass, is everything alright?" » Garulf Wild-Blood, a warrior by heart and trusted member of the Black Wolf Company had noticed her when her eyes rushed around the small and not so cozy inn. And when he bowed his head to have a better look at her, her golden eyes sank deep into Whites and soft Shades of Grey. How could she miss his eyes? How could she even forget Ya'els words? With a slight and surprised, swallow she decides that it'll be enough to keep her eyes straight in his chest when her soft voice reached his ears. « "The One you're waiting for ... he will not come." » He wants to laugh, give it try and with a second look on her face he knew that she was right and draw the sword he was carrying on his back....

post #203

main points:

- work on final command/understanding architecture

- 1:1 with mentor

- lunch at my desk

- spend all afternoon fixing presubmit tests

- melee with alex at 5pm

- melee with shang, mansfield and eric

- dinner + megalo box

- pool + melee tech grind

- chill at home

(writing this on tuesday july 31)

today i:

- woke up. snoozed cause i was tired af. ubered to work with damien

- went to work on updating my weekly todos. got a better sense of what command i need to build and understanding the architecture. figured out what i didn’t understand and prepared to ask my mentor in my 1:1

- had a 1:1. asked my mentor some questions i had to double check i understood everything fully. also planned out the rest of the week and what the rest of my internship will look like

- grabbed takeout from downstairs and brought it back to my desk to eat. i got my code working but i broke all the relevant unit tests. i thought it would just be diff’s in the tests but i realized that it was because of how i was implementing my code. i guess that’s why tests are helpful huh. it was cause there were multiple inputs but actually i should just redeclare the inputs. spent most of the afternoon going back and forth on this until it finally worked

- had to skip bboy session cause i was working on this :’( haven’t gone in two weeks now. but at least i practiced last monday after work and sunday at the office

- went to play melee with alex. who saw us playing melee last friday and suggested we should play. i was like hell yeah. he plays sheik and said that he played some in college. he’s good at matchup knowledge from experience, but he said he never really got into the tech grind. shortly after we started playing, shang, mansfield and eric also came to play. i lost most of my games to alex (we played like maybe 5 games) and then alex peaced out shortly after

i played shang and mansfield played eric. then john came to join and he played rotations with mansfield and eric. shang was playing all the characters and rekt me with all of them. mr. game and watch, luigi, mario, falcon, fox, falco, i think even bowser? not sure if i won that one. the guy’s got a wide arsenal. briefly chatted with eric about our common friend gary and karl

shang, eric and john peaced out so mansfield and i played for a while from like 6-7 ish? mansfield played puff which was interesting to go up against. then he played marth. he helped give me some feedback on my play style and what works and what doesn’t. one thing i can definitely improve on is working on is being too aggressive. like when i’m being pressured, i can be aggressive with falcon and then punish. but when he’s standing there in the corner, i get baited really easily and just run up and nair to try to hit him. mansfield suggested i throw out some bait nairs that don’t have any intention of hitting. i also go for style when it isn’t necessarily guarantee (like spiking). it was some good advice, i feel like i can definitely work on it

- went downstairs to grab dinner before it closed at 7:30pm. also the lobby is under renovation. the entire tile flooring is gone o-o they’re renovating the entire thing from scratch. they had salmon for dinner and it was delicious. mansfield had to catch a shuttle after eating for like 5 min but i got takeout cause i was planning to go back upstairs anyway. we chatted a bit about our music tastes, mine in edm and lowfi, his in trance and edm ish

brought the rest of my food back upstairs to eat and watch megalo box. i watched S1E10

- at that point it was like 8:30pm ish. i decided to go home but wanted to practice pool. played a game of pool with myself. then decided to play melee. did some tech grind until like 9:30pm...

i did a bunch of shield drop practice. i think i’m getting more consistent with it. and just general wave landing, wall jump practice

- ubered home and chilled from like 10pm - 12am. made a pb&j sandwich when i got home cause i was hungry for some reason. umm.. i think that was it. just chilling on youtube and stuff, the usual

that’s about it

the end

Total Drama Smash Bros: Episode 2, Part 2 Something Fishy This Way Comes...

*Wario wanders around a dark and fog-filled campground by a lake, looking in vain for the tell-tale signs of the Camp in question, unfortunately it seems like he's in the wrong place*

Wario: Welp, that's it, I'm lost. Sakurai damn it! What's a guy got to do to steal a measley twenty-million around here!?

*An unknown 1st Person POV shot begins tracking Wario through the abandoned campground while breathing heavilly*

Wario: Dammit Ganondorf! You couldn't of hidden your summer camp of torture somewhere more accessible?! And what's this shit about not inviting me to help in your revenge fetish story?! And what the hell is up with this place?! Camp Crystal Lake?! What kind of bullshit name for a camp is that?! You might as well name it Camp Super Happy and be done with it! Why I outghta-

*Wario is interrupted from his rant by the 1st Person POV approaching behind him. Wario turns to see a massive mountain of a man in ragged clothes wearing a hockey mask and wielding a machete.*

Wario: Oh, hey there buddy. You okay? You're breathing kind of heavy. You need a cough drop or something?

*The man does not respond, merely continues breathing heavily and glaring at Wario*

Wario: Hey, buddy! I'm talkin' to ya! *More silence* Look buddy, you're kind of violating Wairo's personal space, so I'm gonna have to ask you to back off.

*The man does not respond, merely lifting up his mask and allowing Wario to see his face before replacing it*

Wario: Woah! Buddy, that's one hell of a condition! I've got some skin cream in my bag, here let me get it for ya. *The masked man raises his machete as Wario fishes through his pack.*

------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------

Back at the Fishing Grounds

*The boats have shoved off and the teams have departed. Some are doing well! Others are doing... not so well.*

(Erdrick and Robyn's boat)

Erdrick: I got one! We're eating good tonight!*Begins reeling in his line*

Robyn: Wow. That was fast.

Erdrick: Almost here... almost here...! *he reels it in revealing it to be... an old boot* Aw, tartar sauce. *he glumly throws the boot into the boat*

(Roy and Samus' boat)

Samus: Jeez, how do you use this thing? It's so primitive!

Roy: Well, how do you usually go fishing?

Samus: I get on a aqua terrain suit, load up my spear-gun, and take the offensive. None of this waiting around crap.

Roy: Right, future, forgot. *sighs* Here, let me show you.

Samus: Right. So, where's the prime interface so I can load up the targeting system?

*Roy facepalms*

(Link and Bonny Janet)

Link: *staring at the water thoughtfully, surveying the whole area*

Bonny Janet: Oi! Elfy! Ya goona let ma in oon tha' big secret?

Link: Just determining the best place to fish. Have to take into account water currents, sunshine, and a whole bunch of other- fuck it. *Link jumps into the water and reemerges a minute later with a Spotted buck-Salmon clenched between his jaws*

Bonny Janet: BLOODY HELL! Do ya always fish like thaat?

Link, spitting the fish into the boat: My ancestors used fishing rods, but Mipha taught me to fish like a Zora. Lots more efficient.

Bonny Janet thinks for a moment before an evil grin comes over her face: Oi. Ya think ya could get moore tha' way? We git moore, oone fer each oof our team... an' wee've goot a good chance o' winnin'!

Link, pulling himself into the boat: Huh. Good idea Bonny.

*The two look over to see Marth struggling to thread a fishing line through a hook and Joker shooting into the water with his gun, trying to hit one of the fish.*

Bonny Janet: Oi! Princey! Witch-son! *Bonny throws the fish Link caught at their boat, smacking Marth in the face, knocking him down*

Joker, picking up the fish from an unconscious Marth: Thanks Bonny!

*Link and Bonny Janet give a thumbs up which Peach sees and grows frustrated*

Confessional

Peach: This is bad. Link and the imp working together?! This is seriously bad news.

(With Erdrick and Robyn again)

Erdrick: Ooh! Ooh! I know I got one this time!

*Erdrick reels in his catch only to be another boot.*

Erdrick: Gods dammit! *tosses it beside the other boot*

(With Lucina and Dark Pit)

*The two are sitting in silence together*

Lucina: Hey, DP, you want some? *holds up a bag of chocolate covered peanuts*

Dark Pit: Sure, hand 'em over.

*Lucina gives DP some*

Confessional

Dark Pit: I appreciate Lucina. She's knows that sometimes people just don't want to talk.

*Lucina suddenly gets a bite on her line*

Lucina: Shit! It's a big one! *Lucina does her best to reel in the catch. Dark Pit comes up behind her and helps her haul up on the line* Almost! There!

*The catch finally breeches the surface and they see that they have hooked a massive shark. All three simply stare at each other for a long moment before Dark Pit slowly reaches forward and cuts the line. The shark disappears beneath the waves and Lucina slowly puts down her line, curling into a ball*

(With Peach, Zelda, and Pit's boat)

*Peach, Zelda, and Pit have carefully followed Link and Bonny Janet as they've fished up a small pile of their prey to distribute to their team.*

Peach: Okay Zelda, now's your chance. Drive the wedge! Drive it!

*Zelda looks reluctnant but nods*

Peach: And Pit. I need you to sneak over and steal all those fish while they're distracted!

Confessional

Peach: I hated to drive Zelda and Pit like that, but I need this prize money! Bowser's conctant kidnapping of me, destroying my kingdom over and over, and the subsequent repairs and reparations have left the royal coffers practically empty! The Mushroom Kingdom needs the financial boost.

Confessional

Pit: I'm not sure I like how Peach is running this alliance. I want to win too, but Link and Bonny seem to be finally making friends. I know I'm not very smart, that's why I let Peach and Zelda call most of the shots... but I don't know about this.

Zelda: Oh, Link! You're real good at this!

Link: Thanks Zelda! It's good to know we're still friends even though we're on different teams

Zelda, looking even more guilty now, continues: You probably could have caught more if Bonny had contributed more.

Bonny Janet: Oi! Where do ya get oof ya pastel pint! Ah've helped more than ye've helped yer team!

Link: Hey! Lay off Zelda! She's not used to doing stuff like this.

Bonny Janet: Ooo ya! She joost sits in 'er castle 'an let's folk like ye do all the werk! Didn' know ye were soocha doormat Elfy!

Link: Zelda's done lots to help Hyrule! And I'm not a doormat.

Bonny Janet: Soonds lake soomethin' a doormat would say!

*As they argue neither notice Pit surfacing from the water beside their boat*

Red: Hey!

*Bonny and Link turn to see that Red and Leaf have come up near them*

Leaf: Both of you, cut it out! You're on the same team! You can tear each other apart AFTER we win. You're teammates aren't you? Act like it!

*Both Link and Bonny shift uncomfortably*

Bonny: Aye. Ah' suppose ah' woos a wee bit harsh.

Link: And I think I spoke rashly.

Bonny: Aye... peace? *she offers her hand*

Link: Yeah, pea- HEY!

*Both turn and see Pit swimming away with their catch*

Bonny Janet: YOU DIRTY THIEF!

Link: Dammit!

Red: Sorry guys.

Bonny Janet: Oi! Elfy! Can ye catch more?!

Link, frowning: I don't know... maybe?

*Peach, meanwhile, grabs her team's bucket of bait, a load of chum, and hurls it into the water around Link and Bonny's boat*

Link: Oooh, that's not good.

*Instantly over a dozen sharks surface around them with evil grins on their faces*

(With Erdrick and Robyn)

Erdrick: Oh boy! Finally!

Robyn: If it's another damn boot.

Erdrick: No way! It's way too big to be a boot! *Begins to reel it in* We're... guaranteed... to win! *Erdrick hauls up his catch... only to find it a massive crate full of boots*

Robyn: I don't know why I expected any different.

*A massive whistle suddenly sounds out and they all turn to see Ganondorf on the shore*

Ganondorf: And that's it kiddies! Time's up!

Corrine: Time's up! But you- You- uggh. I'm not even going to bother.

Ganondorf: Good call! Now haul in and let's see what you've caught!

--------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

*The Campers are all assembled. The Koopas all hold fish distributed to them by Peach's team's ill gotten gains. Link and Bonny, bruised and beaten from their shark attack, glare at the three offenders. Pit and Zelda look down guiltily.*

Ganondorf: What a fishing trip that was! Way better than I thought it was gonna be.

Red: Yeah. *Glaring daggers at Peach and company* A lot more theivery than I expected too.

Ganondorf: True, but not against the rules. *Ganondorf takes in the teams* Now, only Marth and Joker managed to bring in a fish... but it's the biggest one! Goombas take this one!

*There's a bit of shocked silence before the Goombas start cheering and the Koopas look on in shock and anger*

Peach: But! B-but-

Ganondorf: If you'll recall, I said only that the team “with the biggest fish wins”. Not how many. Quality over quantity.

Bonny Janet: Boo yeah!

Link: Hell yeah! *the two high five each other*

Ganondorf: That mean that the Goombas will have the advantage in part two of today's challenge. We'll be right back with the exciting conclusion of Episode 2... of Total, Drama, Smash Bros!
