i did not return because of bird site, i returned because the only work of fiction i care about right now is the earthsea cycle. tumblr has slightly more frequent posts about it than elsewhere and fewer are about goro miyazaki's earthsea fanfiction (the one where the main character stabs his father with a rounded sword with balls). ask me how many minutes they spend on the sea in the movie set in the big island universe where they sail everywhere; the answer may surprise you.

Not to say that I'm a better writer than Marx, but if I were trying to convince people that communism is something worth advocating for I would not have described it as "a spectre haunting Europe". Not even ironically.
I would've picked a more cheerful and optimistic metaphor. Maybe a tide coming to lift the ship of Europe that has gone aground? A shining city over the next hill if we have the courage to climb it? A treasure lying beneath our feet and all we need to do is dig?

Outfit Ranking Season 2!!!
Here is a link to part 1
We will not rank the outfits that were already ranked in Season 1 and that also appear in Season 2. We will just look at them again because why not? Lets get them out of the way.
Dive suit Rate: Awesome
Mumbai outfit Rate: Sexy
Jammies Rate: Comfy
Red Hoodie Rate: Cool
Red Coat Rate: Hot!
Now that we have seen the already seen awesomeness. Let's get into it.
Number 7: Hospital gown!
...does it count?
I mean, quite unfortunate to be in a hospital. But at least they let her keep her makeup? Cmmon! Those lips are way too red to not be make up. The nurses were like: She's frozen but that doesn't mean she can't be glamorous.
Number 6: Training outfit.
Always protect the face. She will break yours while looking awesome.
Did you notice that triangles are a common thing on her clothes? Should we make a conspiracy theory about it?
Number 5: Russian outfit
A spectre is haunting Europe 鈥斅爐he spectre of communism the Red Ghost! 锌褉懈胁械褌 Comrade Carmen!
She looks fashionably warm!
Number 4: Model dress.
She looks great. Boob window and all. The slit on the skirt. But even more that that: She can fight in heels.
And throw them too. I see she has a thing for throwing shoes.
She looks nice! But if you ask me I prefer the Auction dress from season 1.
Ok now. The three first places!!! But before that, you know it: Three honorable mentions!
Honorable mention #1
The cutest baby ever. My goodness!
She was the best toddler pick pocketer. Probably the only one.
Honorable mention #2
Fashion's latest scream! A very elegant coat made out of... the remains of a glider. Kudos to Carmen for making the best out of an awful situation.
To this day I hate Chief for this. Hate her deeply. Carmen might forgive her but I do not.
Honorable mention #3
Carmen's dream hats. They are imported. They are here because that hat is so iconic it made its way into the subconscious world.
Third Place: Safari outfit.
Oh my glob. Can she look cuter than this? I know it doesn't appreciate here but she is wearing a red belt. Can not be a Carmen outfit without red. Nice very nice outfit. She looks super cool.
And my goodness, those legs!
Second place: Dubai Dress.
This one was difficult for me. I almost gave it the first place, because she looks so damn elegant and sexy! She has a cape, A CAPE! She looks like a woman that anyone would obey at the snap of her fingers.
And a hairdo! And the earrings! Little splashes of red.
Stunning! simply stunning.
First Place: Moto GP
I am biased. I love motorcycles. And I love Carmen. And Carmen in a motorcycle? What else could I ask for?
I may be cheating here because I麓m counting the bike as part of the outfit. She looks super hot on a Ducati, sue me.
Look at her going! Vrroooom!!!
So fast. So skilled. So sexy. AAAAaaaahhh! Look at the technique! The counterbalance! She might not now how to drive a car but she surely knows how to ride.
Rock and Ride!
I made so many gifs and I am not sorry. Brrrrhaaaababababammmm! Rrrrev it girl!
Akira style! So good so good. Hoo baby, that's hot!
I'm just curious about where in VILE island could have she learned how to ride a bike. I'm not complaining though.
That's it folks. See you at Season 3 outfit ranking!
