Game Dev Notes:

Beautiful animated scenes

iconic and calming music

stunning 2d art (character and environment)

great range of puzzle difficulty

interactive background and collectibles

different rewards for finishing puzzles

recap questions to see if you were paying attention to the details

great interweaving of puzzles into the story

interesting overall mystery

ability to explore both before the end and after (& gold layton if you solve everything)

Summary:

I absolutely love this game. It's so charming and sweet with a fun story surrounding puzzles. I love the characters and I love their little quips. I love the range of puzzles and how some of them have historical context. It's such a simple concept that was executed very well. Although the story isn't ground breaking, it was still really fun and shocking. It reminds me a lot of an ACD Sherlock story as it's just another one of Layton and Luke's wacky adventures. It is also set up in the perfect way to allow both sequels and prequels (which is what did happen lol). There's a ton of added replayability such as bonus puzzles, finding every furniture piece and arrangements, finding the charms, etc. It's so interactive and doesn't punish the player at all. This is an amazing puzzle game and there's no shame to not knowing the puzzle answers. You don't get full points if you mess up but that's fine as the picarats don't affect main story gameplay. I am so exccited to see how the sequels expand on the characters, especially Flora! She seems like a very unique character and I am so excited to see more of her. I am also just so happy to finally experience the beautiful music I have been listening to for years in the game. The music is so incredible and charming, it makes me want to find a nice, small European town to explore. What a great game and I am excited for what's next! Hopefully in time for the New World of Steam!

All of the stickers I got from Daiso. If you are interested in the materials I use you can check out my pinned post in my blog!

[khaleesiofalicante]

Me: No, I will not take distractions this week. I am busy! I will read lbaf on Friday as a little reward 🥰

Also me after I saw you posted this chapter: yeah, scratch that. I don't have that much self control anyways :))

This will be all over the place bc I am experiencing a lot of emotions right now, I am running on 4 hours of sleep and I am not ok after that end :))

"That name is not cool,” Kit interrupted. “Petition to call them Power Babes. And trust me, some of them are babes.” Power babes is the best name ever and now I will never not remember it. Damnit, Kit!

Rafael made too many promises. This is going to backfire, isn't it?

The immortal gang always leaves me with an existential crisis ngl

God, Ragnor is such a drama queen and I stan him😂

LUCA!?!! LUCA?!?!

I KNEW IT!!! NICO IS LUCIFER'S HEIR!!! I am so proud of my theory dkbdkdjdk. Also Kit figuring out?? ✨Iconic✨

BEN FUCKING CLARK!!! HELL YEAH LET'S GOOO

So, it didn’t matter.

It didn’t matter that Alec Lightwood loved one man so much that he changed the world for him.

Assholes will always be assholes.

Fuck those people, honestly

The detail of Jace praying bc we know that's what he does when he is desperate 😭

How could you forget something that was the core of your existence? just stop it this is hurting so much!!!

MINA IS HERE!! FUCK YEAH, FINALLY!!! She needed to smack him on the head and get some sense into him!! God, I love her💙💙

“It’s literally just finishing one assignment and starting another. Hollywood lied to us about all the booze and the babes.” True. They got my hopes up for nothing 😔

She is a fucking genius!!!!

What a bad bitch Clary is!! It amazes me everytime😍 but also she is so scary and I am concerned:)

“Because you are known for your eloquence?” Mina asked dryly.

Max smiled. “I really fucking missed you.”

///

“Mina Carstairs,” his best friend introduced herself. “Max’s brain cell and life coach.”

Their friendship>>>>>

Ok.... That meeting could have definitely been phrased better... But I'm just too in love with Clary rn to notice 😍

“Hibernating?” Alec asked. “Like a Pola Bear?” I wanted to make fun of him but it was also my first thought 😂

Because they knew this was their truth.

And they liked their strange, painful truth.

Because it was theirs.

Malec are keeping my sanity istg-

Magnus being ready to let Alec seduce him omfg jdvskdndkd

Alec is the only one who seems to have his shit together at this time and he's so sexy for all the wise things that come out of his mouth

“You are a Fairchild,” Ben whispered. “You have the same eyes.” I KNEW YOU WOULD CONNECT THDM TOGETHER SOMEHOW!! That's why Nico told her to go😭

The man grinned over his shoulder. “Get in, losers. We’re saving Idris.” YES YES YES!!! MY MAN IS BACK IN THE GAME!!

The last fucking POV jfc!!! I... I don't know what to say other than:

I FUCKING HATE MALLORY SO MUCH I WOULD GLADLY GET HER OUT OF THIS WORLD

DONT FUCK WITH ME. THE RING. AND THE KISS😭😭😭😭 foreshadowing everywhere huh?

MAX WROTE EVERYTHING ON THOSE DAIRIES!!! FUCK!!

DAVID😭😭😭

THE LIBRARY!!!

THE FUCKING AGONY RUNE HOLY SHIT

HE NOW DOESN'T REMEMBER THEIR FIRST KISS😭😭 AND THE "louder" SCENE 😭😭😭😭

I literally felt the fear. I could feel my heart racing and my hands shaking. No book has ever made me feel it so real. You are an amazing writer💙

I will be sending you my therapy bills ;)

the fact you felt the fear has me shooketh, that's EXACTLY the vibe i wanted the readers to have when they read mallory scenes 👀

AND I AM OBSESSED WITH HOW YOU COLLECT THESE BANNERS HEHE.

EPISODE👏 REVIEW👏 hsmtmts season 2 episode 10: get ready for some enthusiastic writing and a little too much looking into details

first off seb doing the intro made my heart happy i love him

ok i know everyone has been saying it but there is no way in hell they’re winning the menkies. unless the writers just go with the main character favoritism route, there’s just no way. however for the sake of comedy, watching ashlyn give us everything in the transformation scene and ricky being an absolute disaster is SO funny to me. like shout out to joshua because that scene made me laugh so hard. also a trio i need more of is kourt, red and ej. i just feel like they would be dramatic gossipy bitches and i love that for them.

normally i think ms. jenn’s reactions are over the top but after seeing the shit show that just occurred 2 mins before... i think her reaction is very valid because oh god.

continuing with the theme of friendship dynamics we haven’t seen a lot of but we absolutely need more of, ashlyn and ricky!! that scene was so sweet and wholesome. i’m so so so glad the writers didn’t fall into the trap of making characters take sides after a break up. i just feel like it’s been done a million times before. but seeing ashlyn being so genuine when checking up in ricky made me so happy. the caswells remain being the superior characters (including gina obvs)

ms. jenn and mr. mazzarra are cute don’t get me wrong but they should’ve spent more time developing that relationship instead giving ms. jenn like 3 random love interests and that’s all i’ll say on that.

i love imagining what characters are saying when they’re just ad libbing. like what could ej, gina, ricky and red be talking about before carlos shows up to start the scene?? my guess is they’re all gushing about how amazing ash is and no i don’t take criticisms on that.

alright i’ll say it. the seblos drama is weak at best. they didn’t spend enough time developing it and kind of pushed it to the background so when it was one of the main focuses of the episode it was kind of like ok?? HOWEVER i did love the resolution to it and the deeper look into their individual characters. (i’ll talk more about this later)

carlos calling ms. jenn mother and everyone immediately knowing who he was talking about sent me omfg. but also who the fuck let these high schoolers try to figure out this transformation scene by themselves?? they collectively have 2 brain cells and they just bounce around between the 9 of them depending on the scene. but playful sleepover competition!! also gina nudging ej when he goes a little too ej 1.0 was everything.

i hate lily and i love sassy red. that’s all.

(im going to talk about the boys/girls sleepovers like they’re each one continuous scene respectively because it’s way easier than switching back and forth)

fun new friendship dynamics!! the boys!! sebbie and the girls! iconic. i know that the show is meant to be in a mockumentary style so we only see parts of the characters lives but i would give my left arm to see the boys getting closer and becoming friends. this is also the first scene where i really noticed ricky’s shirt. ricky is queer disney are just cowards. i’m not a big ricky/ ej shipper but the pretty boy had me feeling some type of way. carlos being worried about seb and their relationship and then red being like well this is why. bc he’s got a spy on the inside was peak friendship. but seriously disney?? just say gay. it’s not a bad word. now imma freak out about PORTWELL OMFG I WAS ALREADY FREAKING OUT DURING THIS SCENE SO YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW WELL I WAS DOING LATER ON. but ej just being like im not ready to put myself out there because of nini i don’t wanna get rejected... again. my heart went out to him. you can really see how much he’s grown as a person. but sure ej y’all are “buddies” also him saying the one thing i’m proud of from my time with nini was letting her go and ricky’s reaction to that hurt me to my core.

alright let’s talk about the girls and seb. first off i love that they’re actually working and the boys are doing fuck all LOL. seb actually talking about how he feels?? good for him. i hate that he thinks that carlos is only with him because there’s limited options but at least he’s talking about it. a moment of silence for ash’s scissor bucket (i won’t make a gay joke. i won’t make a gay joke. i won’t-) anyways... i really thought that maybe ash would know about portwell but it’s fucking EVERYONE. like y’all are that perceptive about other peoples relationships but not your own?? that’s why all y’all have relationship drama. gina not wanting to put herself out there because she’s afraid of getting hurt?? ouch. gina thinking ej is just being nice?? ouch but also gina, sis?? what. also nini reacting that way to the chocolates is so out of pocket. like 1) y’all aren’t dating anymore so what’s got you so pressed? 2) gina made it clear that they weren’t actually from ricky 3) nini you know they had some sort of chemistry before you and ricky got back together so this really shouldn’t be that surprising.

anyways the scene with ricky and carlos broke me. the decision for ricky to not show nini the song was so mature. despite wanting to get her back, he KNOWS that that would only drag her back and that’s not fair to her and he knows it. but his awareness of seblos’s relationship and wanting to help carlos work things out with seb was so wholesome and so sweet and is kind of a big moment of character development for him this season. like he was generally very selfish this season (again i’m a ricky apologist til the day i die but he was so selfish) and seeing him take the focus away from his problems to help carlos out was so sweet. also i need more ricky/carlos friendship moments.

kourt talking about howie learning her love language?? bitch you mean espionage?? i mean me too but that’s so fucking funny

ALRIGHT THIS IS THE PARAGRAPH WHERE I SCREAM ABOUT PORTWELL!!! i am so so so so happy right now about this. the fact that ej asked about risotto but for real was so satisfying and was blatantly like him saying i know we faked being in a relationship but what about it not being fake and omfg that’s so amazing. also gina being skeptical and asking if ash put him up to it and him saying not that i know of?? THE PARALLELS?? also gina this whole season has been talking about signs and finding reasons to stay, finding signs to know if someone is right for her and you can literally see the moment she realizes she said the same thing about the duke sweatshirt to jack. SHE KNOWS THIS IS HER SIGN and that’s so special to me. also ej’s nervous laugh after she says yes?? omfg. let’s look at ej’s character. historically he’s confident, cocky and generally puts on this facade of having his shit together but gina makes him nervous (in a good way). he doesn’t feel like he has to pretend to be confident around her. he’s showing her that he’s just as nervous as she is about this and that is just *chefs kiss* honestly not to be an andi mack stan but ej’s little nervous chuckle and ok after she says yes sounds like he’s letting out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding which seriously parallels tj after the tyrus confession. i’m just saying. ALSO GINA’S LITTLE EXCITED WALK BACK TO THE GROUP AHHHHHH

the seblos song?? i have no notes. it was incredible. frankie killed that shit. it was such a good song. so sweet. so wholesome. also ricky and carlos’s hug was so fucking meaningful to both of them and you can tell. ricky was absolutely beaming because he helped the two of them and it feels like a little bit of season 1 ricky shining through.

WHO THE FUCK LET A BUNCH OF HIGH SCHOOLERS RIG A KID IN THE AIR COMPLETELY UNSUPERVISED?? of course ricky fucking fell. that group shares 2 brain cells. obviously some dumb shit was going to happen

Highlights from the “All I’ve Got Is a Photograph” live stream with Phil, Joe, and Ross

DISCLAIMER: towards the end in the last half hour, my computer was lagging a lot, so I probably missed up to a solid five minutes in total. That being said, some things on here may or may not be clarified.

Joe is VERY TAN HOLY SHIT it is very attractive

Phil getting Mike Wazowskied by the chat when he first came on

all the implications that Joe is not in Dublin right now

“My name is Ross Halfin and I’ve been photographing Def Leppard for about... oh, five minutes?”

people cutting out, leaving an awkward silence, and Joe giving a solid English “Wot?”

the way Joe pronounces the word “mosquitos”

in Holland 1984 Joe left his window open and when he got home there were mosquitos all over the fucking ceiling, so he had to vacuum them off and put the trash bag like 4 blocks away so they wouldn’t come back

Joe saying that Heinz baked beans are an “English delicacy”

^^Furthermore, saying he’s eaten cold baked beans sandwiches on butter bread before

literally all three of them PLUS THE GUY WHO WORKS FOR THE VAULT seeing a photo from Euphoria era and collectively agreeing it’s from the Slang tour and no one corrected them

^^meanwhile everyone in the chat is ripping their hair out saying “IT’S EUPHORIA OMFG”

As per the infamous story where their plane dropped 2000ft in 3 seconds: there was an ashtray floating right in front of Sav, and when the plane got back to normal, it smacked him in the face

^^Joe and Phil laughing a lot at this

Joe saying he loves the bathtub photos of himself: “the shot of me in the bath has always been one of my favorites because it’s just so goofy and it sums up my personality”

Ross’s small black fluffy dog on the couch in the background

Ross saying the bathtub photos had a purpose because Joe was “hunk of the month or something”

^^ Joe laughing at that

I have yet to find out if this is true but- Joe said Slash is Bowie’s godson...??

Joe further regretting his early 90s outfits

Joe being embarrassed by this photo:

^^ (while trying not to look embarrassed) “there’s not a lot you could say about it”

^^^ furthermore explaining he was only doing that because Rik Mayall from The Young Ones was in the pit at the foot of the stage doing that at him during a rehearsal, so Joe did it back to him “sadly, Ross just so happened to be there and captured it”

Ross being the mom friend, trying to get them to behave and pay attention in order to take photos

Rick being the worst one to pay attention during photoshoots

Sav taking the longest to get dressed before a photoshoot

Phil talking about how his pants ripped onstage on the Hysteria tour and “stuff” was “hanging out”

me being once again reminded that that iconic photo of all of them in their Union Jack booty shorts and tank tops was taken less than hour away from me ;-; (not important but anyway)

Joe saying he would wear the Union Jack shorts again next year

Ross getting overly excited whenever he remembered when/where/why something was taken

Joe’s memory still being super accurate and oddly specific

Joe has one of Phil’s old guitar straps and it’s rusted from sweat, plus it’s in a drawer in his studio in Dublin

Joe retelling the story of how they met Brian May:

“hi boys, I’m Brian from Queen :D” Joe, right into the camera: NO SHITE, M8

Bri in ‘83: *plays the opening riff to photograph* Joe, internally, watching him from afar: *level up* :o

Joe- “I will forever go down in pub quiz history as the first person to sing with Queen after Fred died”

Joe eating “a bunch of greasy vegetarian food” then traveling with Robert Plant on his private plane, then “going through the most horrendous turbulence, then about ten minutes before we landed, I just BARFED all over the place”

^^Robert laughing because Joe puked everywhere and all over himself

^^Robert giving Joe one of his shirts to wear instead of the barfy one

^^It’s a black long sleeved illuminati shirt

^^Joe still has it

Joe said he recently had a knee replacement and will “probably have to get the other one done soon”

^^He blames his constant air splits for his knees being fucked up now

Joe reenacting neutral photoshoot poses and staring right into your soul through his camera

Ross confirming the “pissing into the sink” story from ‘79

Joe saying they can’t afford Ross anymore and that he needs to lower his prices and Ross cackling at this

Phil recalling a photoshoot where a seagull shat on his head and he had to go wash it off

^^Joe absolutely fucking LOSING IT it at this. I’ve never seen him laugh so hard I swear he was almost CRYING with laughter it was so adorable

Joe acknowledging how tan he looks because “I’ve been spending a lot of time in the sun these past few months- as you can tell”

^^Joe brushing his hair back so you could see his tan face

Joe saying they (the band) were “fortunate enough to avoid the virus”

Joe stole the “don’t forget us and we won’t forget you” line from (big surprise) Ian Hunter

we ALMOST got through this hour and a half live stream WITHOUT Joe advertising Mott the Hoople we were SO CLOSE GUYS

Joe blowing a kiss at the end of it

Phil thanking the fans UwU

Joe waving goodbye as the Vault closed and sounding sad when he said “cheers, see ya”

ENORMOUS thank you to @ballistic-lipstick-dream-machine​ for paying for a ticket and letting me watch it in real time even tho she couldn’t ilysm ;-;

#def leppard #the vault #joe elliott is a fucking dork #joe elliott #phil collen #ross halfin #all i've got is a photograph #i'm so fucking happy it was such a soul cleansing thing to watch #rachel may or may not leak it in a while #highly recommend watching #it was like 90 minutes fyi #if you don't feel like watching it then well #that's why i made this post #you're welcome #these are all the important/funny bits

[kyurilin]

The simple and soft asks, ANSWER THEM ALL!

Omfg Gabby you waited until I had forgotten you did stuff like this and then struck out of the blue with a vengeance BUT FOR YOU I WILL GLADLY ANSWER THEM ALL

1. What did you dream about last night?

It was either some kind of stress related dream or family related dream but I can't actually remember I just remember yeeting myself out of bed mid dream because I woke up to a leg cramp so

2. What is your favorite color?

Red, like my car

3. Do you feel more connected to the moon or the sun?

The moon, really. The sun's too bright and the moon is just like friends with the stars so I vibe with that

4. Have you ever wished on a shooting star?

Oh absolutely, anytime I see one I make a wish. That's my favorite thing about shooting stars, they just seem magical and capable of wish giving.

5. Name a movie that makes you genuinely laugh.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie from 2004, hands down. The Simpsons Movie is a close second. But the SpongeBob one is just so near and dear to my heart for many reasons and it never fails to make me crack up.

6. When’s the last time you felt like you were floating?

That span of a few weeks where I was getting new comments for my Present Mic story pretty much every day, since that's the most attention anything I've ever written has gotten at once. I'm still a little bit nervous most times to share anything I've written but fuck if that wasn't worth it and the occasional comments I still get for it make me ascend every time.

7. Already answered this one so I'll skip it

8. Do you believe in guardian angels?

Oh absolutely, somebody better be out there watching my dumb ass so I don't do something stupid and get yeeted off this mortal coil

9. What’s a smell that reminds you of home?

The ocean, since our house is partially beach themed and because the ocean always makes me feel like home.

10. What is something (or someone) you’re in love with?

Oh I'm definitely in love with writing, it's the main thing in my life that I enjoy doing continuously so I very much love it

11. Describe the memory of the last time you felt true happiness.

Today when I found a kid wearing a Kirby shirt that I didn't have while at my job lmao. Working in school photos is interesting for a lot of things and video game shirts are pretty common but seeing a Kirby shirt is rare as fuck and I was stupidly happy to see one in the wild

12. Name a song that makes you feel ethereal.

I just found this artist recently and it's aesthetic as fuck

13. What’s your ideal summer aesthetic?

Being inside with the AC. Summer is the worst cause it's too hot and too bright

14. Talk about one of your most cherished childhood memories.

When I was 6/7 I was fucking obsessed with Britney Spears, to the point that one if the things I remember reading repetitively was some special edition magazine about her life because she was the Icon of that time. In 2000 when I was actually 7 my dad took me to see the Oops I Did It Again Tour because of course, he was a big concert person and knew it would make me happy. So there I am, this teeny tiny little seven year old with casts on my legs because they were trying to correct this walking problem I had, being held up by my dad to see this pop singer that I would not shut up about who I idolized. We left in the middle of the concert because I got tired but I wouldn't trade what little memories I have of that for the world.

15. Talk about something exciting or good that happened to you this year.

One of my close college friends I hadn't seen in about seven years started working at my job and getting to see her again has been a treat!

16. Where do you feel most at home?

The beach since we've moved so much in the last seven years that the beach is just more familiar

17. What is something you own that is important to you? What makes it so important?

I have a lot of answers for this, that are all kind of self explanatory. I have some ponchos and a cape that my great aunt Iris crocheted, a homemade doll my great aunt Norma had, some costume jewelry from my grandma, and a fifty cent coin from my grandpa. All of these people have passed away, and these things all make me feel close to them. I miss them a lot.

18. Do you believe dreams have meanings or are they completely random?

Honestly considering how many end of the world dreams I have I really hope they don't have meaning because I'd really like the world to end after I'm gone

19. Do you believe in love at first sight?

Not particularly no, I mean for others yeah but I don't think I could ever look at a person first time and be like MY LOVE

20. Answered this one already

21. Do you believe in mermaids?

Absolutely I do mermaids would be cool as hell

22. What do you like most about nature?

The animals, like seeing any animal just chilling out in the wild doing their thing is the best

23. What’s your zodiac sign? Do you think you fit the general characteristics of that sign?

I'm Capricorn and all I remember about it is that we're supposed to be stubborn and I absolutely fit that so I got that going for me

24. Are you more of a hopeless romantic or realist?

I guess realist? I'm not really sure tbh

25. Already answered this one

26. Do you usually remember your dreams?

Usually I do yeah, and I have some weird ass dreams that just stick with me

27. Have you ever written a love letter?

I have yeah if I'm remembering correctly lmao, that was ages ago though

28. Name a book you don’t mind reading over and over.

Oh like literally all of my favorites, but if I had to pick one i'd say the hunger games because it's something I've already reread it so many times

29. Do you collect anything? And what are some hobbies you have?

Well I have my collection of Cars diecasts, then I also collect Kirby games and Kirby figures, and then seashells. My main hobby is writing which is like wildly obvious cause I never shut up about it.

30. What do you do to feel at peace?

Watch videos of people exploring abandoned places cause it's fascinating as fuck

Gabby thanks once again for having me answer every single question in an ask game it made me laugh to see you pulling me that again lmao

Stargirl 1.13 “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part Two” is out now on DCU and I’m here to talk about it.

This is it y’all. It’s the season 1 finale. That’s crazy to think about, and it’s crazy to think about how after tonight I will officially have no way to keep track of what day it is anymore, I’ve been using this show (and these little recap chats) to remember when it’s Sunday and base my week off that. 

So before the episode actually starts, I wanna take a sec to just talk about what kind of stuff I’m expecting (or want but doubt we’re gonna actually) from this finale. One, I’m expecting some real emotional weight. We’re going to see a throw down between Pat & Courtney, that’s gonna carry a lot. If Pat can even land a hit on her, it doesn’t matter that he’s being mind controlled, that’s gonna be really traumatic for the both of them. I’m expecting at least one person in the ISA to get away to be a returning villain next season. I’d like Grundy & Rick to get a fight but I doubt we’ll get it. I’d also definitely love to find out Joey is alive somehow, or even Henry (but I do feel like both of their deaths are important so conflicted feelings), but I highly doubt it. Maybe in season 2 (I mean, it is the CW). I really need to see what the fallout of the actual plan from the ISA, and how it affects the Starsquad. It’s about 20 seconds left before it goes live, so let’s get to work.

What a crazy way to start off this finale. The crazy anger on Isaac’s face is definitely unsettling. I wanna know how the ISA managed to make this massive, retractable football field with a massive cavern under it with nobody noticing. Like, I know the principal was in on it but seriously? What the hell?? Clearly not everybody in the school’s staff was in on the plan, so what is going on here? Moving on, how does Jordan manage to sound like a creepy shit even when he’s trying to be reassuring?

It’s cool to finally get the chance to see what the S.T.R.I.P.E. suit can actually do, we’ve never really gotten the opportunity before. Awwwe Court said “your daughter” how sweet. I wonder if there is a way to fight Brainwave’s control without the blockers that doesn’t kill them? Like, what if we got another telepath involved? Say one of the Martian’s, or even Henry Jr? Maybe some form of magical interference, say from Dr Fate? Idk but it’s interesting to think about. But Beth comes up with a great little plan, and now I have to ask, if the ISA’s goal is to better the country and shit, why aren’t they already using their clearly great wealth to do that? Why go through the effort of taking complete mental control of a good chunk of the country, knowing that ti could kill at least 25% of the people effected? There has to be a better way to do that. Sounds like they don’t give an actual shit about the betterment of the country and more about control. 

I love these hero and villain team shots, those are always moments that I appreciate. And the choreography for the fight is excellent as always. Every fight scene in this show so far has been great. I’m still impressed by how well they’ve been able to show how the ISA really has the JSA outclassed, even with the JSA winning in the end. I wonder if Dragon King letting Cindy out was actually an accident or not, and her killing him was just an unintended consequence of it. And wow we get my wish for Grundy v Rick and Grundy looks awesome! No perfect, he’s definitely CGI (obviously but you know what I mean), but he looks better than I would’ve expected. And holy shit that Henry Jr fake out, omfg. That was awesome. And Yo just straight up murdered Brainwave, wow. Fucking crazy. I’m super excited to see the fallout of that for her next season.

Okay quick break from the serious, gotta say. Battle Rick?? That’s real fucking hot, like shit.

Jordan killed Chuck, what a fucking bitch. I can’t believe they made us listen to a death scream from him too, what the fuck Stargirl? I’m excited to see Beth becoming Dr Mid-Nite in her own right. 

Hey, fuck yeah Barbara, call Jordan out on the murder of Joey, and Henry, and all the others. I love how Jordan thinks he can actually convince Barbara to take Courtney and come with him in taking over the country, what a fucking creep. Not at all surprised that he was going to throw her off the roof. I would’ve been surprised if he didn’t actually. 

It’s really great seeing them actually give Grundy clear feelings in this fight with Rick. While he is a literal zombie, he’s not usually some mindless creature from how I know him, and I’m glad the show didn’t really fall into that trap. While I think Rick deserves the chance to get his revenge, I think it does more for him and his character by letting Grundy go (not that Grundy really dies, that’s kinda his thing). 

I wonder if Courtney’s “you can never save America, you’re filled with too much hate” intentionally has as much commentary as it does (keep in mind this show was originally set to come out last September). ALSO MIKE??? EXCUSE ME???? One, holy shit, fucking fantastic. Iconic. Two, talk about poetic justice. One of Jordan’s first kills in this show was getting Joey hit with a truck and now he’s taken out by Mike with a truck (I’m unfamiliar with whether or not Jordan is one of those ice characters who can’t really die in their ice form, hence why I’m not saying Mike killed him). Yay for Mike getting have a moment in this finale. And take that all the people in the live chats eagerly waiting for Mike’s murder (which btw what the fuck?). 

I like how even though the Starsquad has won the day, it’s not exactly a true happy ending you know? Court & Rick are ending in a pretty place but Beth just lost her best friend and Yolanda just killed a man (a irredeemable, evil man who definitely deserved it but still). These are really heavy places to end on. 

Oooooh the Shade?? Hello??? I know we’ve already heard that he’s a big villain for next season but I wasn’t really sure we’d see him here. 

Why is Cindy looking through the Zarick’s stuff? ECLIPSO?? HELLO??? EXCUSE ME??? WHOMST???? (Also fuck you Stargirl not using this moment for a good news for Joey. No I’m never letting this go). 

With this Christmas ending, are we finally seeing what was in that gift from episode 1? Yup we are, Courtney is giving it to Pat. How fucking sweet, I love her. I love their relationship. I love how cheesy it is, and I love how it clearly originally said “world’s greatest dads” and Courtney just crossed out the “s.” Cute as shit. And they whole family takes a Christmas photo with the rest of the Starsquad, so cute. What a cute way to end, I’m soft. 

STARMAN!??!?!?! HELLO?!?!??!? WHAT!?!??!?

I don’t. I. What??? I can’t. I have genuinely no idea what on Earth to say here. Sir where have you been all this time???

Okay I will definitely need to be talking about this finale again at some point but for now I’m gonna take my leave and collect my thoughts (and emotions wow). With this finale having come to an end, that makes it the last of these little chats until at least next summer when season 2 is likely to be coming out (I’m sure they’re going to be going into production within the next month or so, and are probably already going through pre-production). Before I close out, I just wanna say that I know that people have their (very fair) reservations about this show going over the CW full time, but we should remember that no matter what, this show is for us. And we should love it for what it is, was, and will be. No matter what.

That’s me signing off of this recap for the last time, and I will see you guys for season 2.

grad thoughts bc i am nothing if not someone who documents everything i think

“your kind and benevolent DM” travis ily but i do not trust you or your school for shit!! nope!!!! no way sir!!!!!!! the boys’ items are collected for the school and that seems suspicious!!!!!!! hieronymous wants to meet with them specifically and i so do not trust him!!!!! something shady is going on and i do not trust like this!!!!!

(but “not trust” in a fun way. like i love all of this but i feel like something is def up)

jackle though? i would trust him with my life but we’ll get to that

ANYWAYS FITZROY

i’ve been dying for villain fitzroy since grad started and thank u travis for this blessed food

the music was fucking amazing during that scene

“argo, get the door for me” ngl that part Got To Me bc this whole arrangement is gonna get complicated and messy (probably) and i love it

thundermen!!!!!

the pegasus!!! that scene was really getting to me omfg

and demons!!!! nice cool great wonderful!!!!!!!!

the library scene. iconic. i was losing it laughing omfg

i also lost it at the thundermen theme and “griffin how much did you make on bandcamp last year”

OH ALSO HEY WHY THE FUCK WAS HIGGLEMAS IN FIRBOLG’S DREAM

THAT’S A LOT TO UNPACK

BUT NOW THE BALCONY

jackle has legit become one of my favorite characters

his entire thing abt the difference between being good and doing good??? i love that so fucking much

sabreeze? sabris? anyway the moment jackle mentioned her i almost started crying

the mariah!!!! is a ship!!!!!!!!!

me before meeting kiri in critical role but knowing jackle: okay but is the kenku voice mimic thing even relevant

me after meeting kiri and the m9 going through deliberate lengths to get her to speak: SO HEY JACKLE WHAT’S GOING ON

literally tho the moment jackle was like “what do you know abt the kenku” i immediately went like “he’s a mimic!!! he’s a mimic!!!!!!”

it’s fucking why argo recognizes his voice!!!!

holy shit wait were jackle and argo’s mom villain/hench

also when jackle tossed argo the coin even after saying that he already invited someone, but “he wasn’t the one inviting argo” and then going on abt how he was waiting to get the coin back to argo’s mom so that she could give it to him herself........... i really did almost start crying like That is the shit that really gets to me

also “in my dreams, i fly” ............. good shit

also do you ever hear a line and you’re like “that’s gonna fucking come back later, i know it”? i had that reaction like 5 times this episode. two of those being what jackle said abt goodness and what someone (cut me some slack i heard the episode once and immediately made this post) abt names and their meaning.

BLOOD AND BONE, RAIN AND STONE

also tbh the one thing i’m worried abt w/ grad is the pacing (mostly bc i want another very long campaign) but also i trust travis (+ the other mcelroys) to keep it all on the rails, and he did confirm today on twitter that this (and the next episode?) are finishing off this first chapter of grad, so i think these first 6/7 episodes are still very Establishing some of the major stuff. like, yeah i wish there were some more scenes we could’ve seen (like i would’ve love to see firbolg and the pegasus interact once more, along with maybe even one more jackle and argo scene), but i also trust the mcelroys, you know?

also if my 11th grade AP english teacher making us read “how to analyze literture like a pro” or whatever the fuck taught me anything, it’s that shit is going to go down at rainer’s birthday party

(literally one of the chapters was just about how a dinner party is never had just to have one, it’s almost always used to make conversations that are needed happen and/or put the characters in a situation that they can’t just easily leave)

(that isn’t me flexing, it’s just me trying to at least make something useful out of the book i read four years ago and then never touched again) 

me, holding griffin and travis by their lapels: release the fucking graduation music or else i riot

mtmte liveblog issue 15

death awaits!

oh god the cover. I aint ready 

the cover of overlords open mouth w/rodimus floating inside or w/e,,,,the overlord mouth fixation continues i see

and of COURSE its by nick roche. of course

oh god the tension and dread in the first page, as we get overlords sinister promise to murder everyone, starting with rewind, and then seeing chromedome rush over to open the door, and knowing that 30 minutes have passed already...

that full page spread of everyone vs overlord is amazing

also I always thought that ambulon was trying to kick overlord but now that I look closer he’s actually jumping away from overlord, having just crashed one of those hover...thingys....into him...which is honestly cool as hell. also I'm never over the fact that ambulon kinda looks like he’s smiling here, just having a grand ole time as overlord tries his best to murder everyone

and chromedome just seeing this and saying ‘rewind?’ is fucking killing me thanks

PIPES NO DONT DO THIS. YOURE JUST RUBBING SALT IN THE WOUND. PLEASE don't talk about how much fun you're having on your wacky space adventure oh god, that’s just asking to be murdered,

GOD AND THERE HE GOES, DRIVING TO HIS DOOM. PIPES NO

AUGHHHHHHHHHH AND THERES OVERLORD WITH HIS GIANT FOOT. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PIIIIIPES ;_; 

his messed up goodbye thoughts are brutal...plus the final shot of him laying all busted up....god :( 

that guy seriously had some awful luck this trip. rip lil guy

BUT he sounded the alarm!!! so good for him!! that's a pretty amazing final act right there

oh my god I forgot abt this scene where rewind is like ‘so brainstorm why is my husband saying your name in his sleep :))))’ and brainstorm is like ‘haha idk its certainly not because we’re working on a secret project together, so jot that down!’ lmao brainstorm....

also dw rewind brainstorm is not fucking ur husband, just look at his evidentially extensive collection of perceptor-style microscopes...my man is microscopesexual 

I forgot abt the metabomb omfg

‘some of my favorite words are monosyllabic’ rodimus ily, himbo of my heart,

fort max :( rung :( 

oughhghghg I forgot abt the scene of tailgate making cyclonus a new horn ;_; and then cyclonus materializes menacingly bc tg dared to volunteer their room for movie night hvbfshdjkfbaskj cyclonus anti-social icon

AUGHHHH GOD THE PANEL OF RATCHET TALKING ON THE COMMS AND OVERLORD IS JUST, RIGHT BEHIND HIM, WITH HIS BIG STUPID LIPS, OH MY GOD

what the fuck, is drift a flying car??? hello??? what the hell????

seriously he’s got like, rockets and shit, what the fuck

anyways, the entire exchange b/w ratchet and drift here kills me, for multiple reasons.... ‘my faith and my sword’ lmao love it. and then ratchet refusing to leave drift and calling him his friend ;_; aughhh

rodimus w/the squad like ‘lets go gays!!!’ 

also I guess cosmos WAS on the lost light lol, totally didn't remember that, I'm guessing he left at some point to go be in the other series lmao 

I'm sorry but ‘amazing. you speak entirely in name’ is so fucking funny, but also like stfu overlord you're not allowed to be funny

MAGNUSSSSSSSS

now I'm confusing myself lmao, rodimus DID know abt overlord, didn't he??? wasn't that the whole thing???? I don't remember if he was involved w/the whole mnemosurgery plan but he at least knew that overlord was there...but we haven't been told that in-story yet so now I'm questioning that lmao

oh god I forgot that overlord almost kills magnus, jeeeeesus. good thing he’s a russian nesting doll otherwise he probably would've died fr 

also damn that's gotta be scary for everyone else, bc magnus is The Big Guy, and a renown fighter...plus drift got all fucked up...yall are in for a bad time 

tailgate gettin his panic on I see

swerve w/the meta narration lmao 

cyclonus ily sm.......

rodimus charging at overlord....ohhh my boy not your best idea

cd and rewind both saying ‘I thought you were dead!’ HHHHHHHH I'm destroyed fuck it all

rodimus (inadvertently) saving the day by saying ‘til all are one’...iconic!!

FORT MAX IS HEREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

drift just casually chillin w/no legs

chromedome going into extreme detail about all the mnemosurgery he’s been doing on overlord for WEEKS while rewind is Right There....my dude.

this issue has a LOT of completely white backgrounds but I cant even rlly blame milne bc this seems like more drawing work than usual

oh god cd don't say ‘we’ll finish this conversation later’ at a time like this, that’s never a good idea,

rewind no don't do it :( :( :( 

that panel of cd’s arm getting cut off...AUGHHH

GODDDDDDD IM FUCKING CRYING. AUGHHHHHHHHHHH I.....

so incredibly fucked that cd does what’s best for rewind by blowing the pod up....hhhhh god 

and then that last panel of cd laying on the ground....fucking destroy me!!!!!!!!

also I love that at the beginning of the issue we see whirl with the missile launcher thing, and that’s what cd uses at the end here....good bookends. jro is really great about putting stuff in the story that just seems like innocuous filler/fun character building but turns out to ALSO be plot relevant later

HOLY SHIT I forgot about the cast page with the big red X’s thru the dead people’s profiles....jesus christ 

AUGH this issue was a rollercoaster, phew...and the emotionally devastating conclusion to this arc is still yet to come! 

I will say that it’s super interesting looking back on this, in the sense that rewind & chromedome are introduced as the first ever gay tf couple, and a few issues after we get told this explicitly, rewind is killed. this doesn't really end up being an issue representation-wise bc literally everyone is gay and there are a bunch of other significant gay characters/relationships later on, AND rewind comes back later 

but still! it’s interesting to think about how, at the time this came out, the phrase/concept ‘bury your gays’ wasn't really something that was talked about a lot (or like, it was, but not as often as nowadays, and not really under the term ‘bury your gays’ iirc), but at the time of publication this would have fallen under that trope (though rewind coming back later negates it imo). I think it would've been tough for this story to come out nowadays due to the backlash that would've occurred from rewind’s initial death (it also makes me wonder if there was any backlash when this DID come out) 

to be clear, this isn't a writing criticism - in fact, the reason this is able to work at all is because of the crazy amount of representation mtmte has. it’s like, youre able to kill off gay characters without it being ‘bury your gays’ if literally all your characters are gay by default, and there are a bunch of significant gay relationships happening - technically speaking, any death in mtmte is bury your gays lmao 

this is a completely disjointed rant but my point is like, if this issue came out in 2020 people would probably be pretty put off by rewind dying (understandably), but in the context of the series as a whole I don't consider this to be bad writing/bad representation/bury your gays 

and like, WERE people really mad about this in 2013? I am curious now, bc I would definitely feel kinda betrayed if I didn't know all the stuff that happens later 

but its pretty nice, because now I'm free to enjoy the writing and be emotionally devastated by rewinds death in a normal way, and not a ‘I'm angry at the writers for killing off one of the only gay characters’ kinda way

anyways I'm tired as hell so I'm going to bed, ill continue the emotional devastation later, phew

The Purple Game

A few days ago i wrote an “analysis” about The Purple Game on our rottmnt discord server while I was watching it, and I thought it would be nice if I collected everything in one post...

-you know what? i'm gonna rewatch the purple game for the umpteenth time and i'm gonna try to pinpoint why it makes me so damn sad every time

-ALRIGHT HERE GOES

-first thing i notice now, the purple dragons made this game so specifically to cater to donnie there's the giant mech, the competitiveness, exclusiveness, even his favorite color, its kinda scary how well they know him

-the montage of donnie gaming is super unsettling, the way you see the hours fly by,, the close-up shots,,,,

-"yes this is the greatest game of all time stop talking to me" god the way he delivers that line 😭

-i love the way raph nudges donnie here, its such a soft gesture

-HHHHHH THIS BIT, THIS TINY SEQUENCE,,, THEY KNOW DONNIE ISNT FINE

-the way they leave in total silence, with just the music and donnie's frantic clicking in the background,,,

-my heart 😢

-THIS FACE,, there's probably a little voice telling him its a very bad and dishonest idea to steal his brothers' money,, that its not worth the trouble

-raph mikey and leo had such a good time together, and even tho donnie had chosen to stay home they STILL brought him a gift cuz they wanted to share the good times with him 😢😭

-also mikey on raph's shoulders

-although this bit is mostly played for laughs the aggressiveness donnie shows is really accurate for this kind of toxic obsessiveness

-also he says the word 'hiss' out loud, dumbass

-AHHHH the way leo begs donnie for an answer,,, donnie at this point being so numb and detached from reality,,,,

-he destroyed mrs porkycoin

-"what do you do when someone you love is obsessed with something thats bad for them?" we dont deserve raph

-donnie wants to be the best at this game so badly he literally cheats his way to the top,, he wants be good at something,, also what a sharp contrast to leo in minotaur maze :0

-bonus points for the outfit, what an icon

-such a meaningless victory, and yet he's so blissful

-raph leo and mikey are so set on helping donnie out they did what seemed obvious for them, reading every article on the internet about game obsession

-they might not be the smartest but damn do they try and care 😭

-"donnie we need you"

-donnie send shelldon as a replacement because 'he couldnt make it' B I T C H

-raph is SO DONE with donnie,, his soft concern has made place for pure rage and disappointment

-the mech is SO BIG AND VIOLENT OMFG

-THE MUSIC WHEN MIKEY IS RUNNING UP TOWARDS THE MECH,,, ITS SO INTENSE AND I LOVE IT

-the stark contrast between the fight we just saw and the way the game shows,,, its so sharp 😥

-the way mikey says "donnie is... controlling the mech.." is so heartbreaking

-"HEY DONNIE ITS US YOUR BROTHERS" leo i love you so much 😭

-THE GAME ENCOURAGES DONNIE TO KEEP ATTACKING THE BEARS AKA HIS BROTHERS THATS SO CRUEL

-"we gotta get a message to donnie" "how? he doesnt respond to anything" AHHHHHH

-raph really is done with being a softie towards donnie, like what a change he made in this ep in comparison to donnie's gifts

-"Donnie the mech is real, STOP PLAYING THE GAME DONNIE" there's something so eery about the way raph basically begs donnie to stop

-"or should i call you... donnie" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

-"...watching you watch us smash them will be JUST AS NICE"

-AHHHHHHHHH INTENSIFIES

-AND RAPH LEO AND MIKEY STILL THINK DONNIE IS THE ONE ATTACKING THEM OMFG

-"BROTHERS"

-oof its so great to see leo and raph using their mystic weapons so much better than before, i'm so proud of them

-what a badass shot, the trinity themselves

-"donnie you gotta stop this, i love you, and you gaming is hurting me, like literally hurting me" WHILE DONNIE IS FORCED TO WATCH HIS BROTHERS BEING CRUSHED BY THE MECH NOOOOOO

-the amount of focus in this face,,, also donnie being able to escape with the help of the gift his brothers bought them is good kush 👌😔

-i love it when he does this expression, his shits-about-to-go-down face

-AHHHHHHHHHH THIS BIT, THE TURTLES LOOK SO BRUISED UP, THE WAY THEY'RE LYING, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY FUCKING DIED

-and donnie??? he doesnt even take the time to free himself first, his brothers are his biggest priority now

-the hug,, the fucking hug,,,, how he uses his spidershell arms to embrace them,, the way he straight up apologizes,,, this hecks me up real good every damn time 😭😭😭

An Occasional Attempt to Read, Discuss and Review the Wonders of Comics By: John Rafferty, cranky old man, and Fan of All Things Comics

Dark Nights: Death Metal #1

Writer: Scott Snyder Artist: Greg Capullo

‘Hex, they’re all yours.

Yeehaw, sir.

Finally, a party where I’m the @#$% pretty one.’

Gentle Readers, I have been totally blown away.

I have been trying to write this for a week, now. I have given this book to several people to read. The least comment I’ve received back is:

‘WOW. Holy Crap! Damn!’

Yes, I heard the capitalization. I saw the sense of wonder, shock, insane glee in the person’s eyes. I watched as he sat down again, and reread it, asked if the Comic Shop was open so he could go buy his own copy... then said lots of words I would get smacked for putting in here.

In short, the duo of Snyder and Capullo are on fire...again. And they know it, by the names they gave themselves... Scott ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ Snyder, and Greg ‘Painkiller’ Capullo. And these bastiches do live up to them! (heh...heh heh)

So, we start off with Sergeant Rock ( yes, Easy Company’s Sergeant), explaining the situation ‘ta this flyboy’. And he does this, in the colorful, typically melodramatic style of Jack Webb, in ‘The D.I’, or R. Lee Ermey in ‘Full Metal Jacket’ giving the ‘flyboy’ the rundown on then tire meal of ‘turdburger and turd fries’ being served up in the new DCU...

Yes, the Next Page, the Second Page is a map labeled ‘the DCU’... complete with the Arkham Wastelands, the Fall of Captain Atom (can be taken two ways, hopefully this will be explained), Themyscira, Megapokolips, The Hellscape, and Castle Bat...

This is the map of the area around the Castle Bat, home to the Batman Who Laughs, and his minions, the various corruptions of the Bat, and the Groblins. And so much more...

This is the End of All Things, the Dark Matter Universe has permeated everything, and the Corruption Abides. The Green is poisoned, as is seen by the condition of the Protector of the Green, Swamp Thing. He is a walking putrefaction, more a rot thing than the robust Emissary of Parliament of Trees he had been.

Diana of Themyscira is reduced to gaoler for the Master, overseeing his dungeons, and the Pit, which he reserves for his special ‘interests’. Her mother and sisters, used as the method to keep her from tearing the Castle from the heights it reaches, and pounding it flat into the foundations, far below, in the bowels of Themyscira, where we find the gates to Tartarus, the new prison for the Batman who Laughs.

We open on Diana, wielding a chainsaw, taking apart her iconic Invisible Plane, and melting it down into Invisible metal. More punishment, more humiliation.

She receives news of a new prisoner for the Pit, from the corrupted Guardian of the Green, Alec Holland. The Prisoner is being escorted by 3 Bats (the Red Death, a Bat that is the Tyrannosaur robot with Bruce Wayne’s mind uploaded into it, and a BatMage), an unheard of number, so this must be a formidable prisoner indeed.

As they proceed toward the Pit, the reader is updated somewhat with the ongoings since Metal...

What, there are some reading this that never read Dark Night: Metal? Ok, show of hands, how many... one, two,...seven... nineteen... well. I’m going to stop here. Go on, go get a copy of the collected Metal. And the crossovers. And the One Shots. NOW! I’ll wait (have to use the Men’s Room, anyway...)

Done? Good. Hey, YOU! Finish up! Damn... Ok.

So, where were we... Oh, yes, Castle Bat. the Check-in, Harley is in charge of hunting the Wastelands, with a Bat controlled Dr. Arkham, Wonder Woman, well, she basically runs Hell with a Batmage, who could be a Dark Multiverse Bat Zatara (I originally thought Fate, but, no Helmet of Fate), Aquaman and Bat-Bathomet (a Cthulhu looking Elder demon), and Megapokolips is presided over by a manacled, and subdued Scott Free, with his overseer, DarkFather, who bears an unkind resemblance to Darkseid’s son, Kalibak.

And, we can see Free and the DarkFather are monitoring an Anti-Life infected Superman, waiting for his change into a controlled Darkseid.

Holy Crap, that’s 8 1/2 pages in... and the action hasn’t started!

We’re introduced to all the Bat-Knights - The Bat-Etrigan, the Bat-Clayface, Bat-Deathstroke, Bat-Reaper, the Bat-Plastic Ma... Plastic Man??? Along with the Drowned, the Red Death, the Dawnbreaker, the Devastator, the Murder Machine and the Merciless, and some more interesting mashes... A Bat-cowl wearing Penguin, Jokerized dragons (words I never thought I would ever write, after once writing Joker fish - Thanks Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers!), and the return of the Black Lantern Ring... WHAAAAAA???? OMFG!!??!!

Again, we aren’t halfway through the issue.

Snyder and Capullo have set a standard so incredibly high, it will be absolutely amazing if they can maintain the pace and intensity of this 32 page issue. Snyder’s dialogue is measured, direct, with not a wasted syllable, much less word. His script is extraordinary, well done, descriptive, amazingly vivid.

Capullo’s pencils, Dear Jeebus, this man’s pencils bring Snyder’s word to life, or as close to life as the Dark Multiverse will allow. He brings an intensity to the work which drives the reader forward, pushing onward from panel to panel, barely allowing the reader to recover from the

last surprise before gobsmacking him with the next graphically intense page.This is a meal, each panel to be savored as a tapas course, building on the flavors of the last visual mouthful, until the reader is so overwhelmed, he is unaware he has finished the meal, is full, but wants to go back to the first course and start all over again.

Gentle Readers, please understand, on a book such as this, I am a horrid reviewer. I have no filter, no concept of Spoiler Alerts, and no care for posting the alert. I WANT to share all the action, all the nuance, and little points that make this story amazing.

I also want, more than this, for you, the Reader, to go out and read this book on your own. That is more important, for it is YOU, the reader who will ultimately make the determination whether this reviewer is credible, or as full of crap as a Christmas Goose.

So, if you do nothing else, take the time to visit your local Purveyors of Four Color Sequential Periodicals, and slap down the $5 necessary to purchase this book. Give me the benefit of the doubt.

I promise you, there is no disappointment here.

15, 17, 19 & 21 🥰

15. Which historical figure would you like to be?

Nellie Bly. She was so fucking badass look her up if you don't know her!

17. If you could time travel, where would you go?

I answered this one earlier, probably the 70s or 80s! don't know why, I just really vibe with the aesthetic 😂 I do love the early 1900s too...

19. If you could be a cartoon character for a week, who would you be?

She doesn’t even have powers or anything exciting, but Vanessa Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb is just so iconic I just gotta go with her

21. Who would play you in a movie of your life?

Hmmmm... People always say Cate Blanchett because we have the same skin tone, but I’d like for it to be David Tennant purely for the chaotic energy and that I look A LOT like Crowley irl... like im not kidding I have a collection of sunglasses, red hair, and im always wearing black jeans I was forced to watch Good Omens when it came out and absolutely fell in love with it (the book’s so good too omfg!)

Thanks for the ask, love!
