TOP THINGS I'M EXCITED FOR IN THE NEW RTD RUN

getting the obvious out of the way, ncuti gatwa

but more specifically, ncuti gatwa is going in with such an exciting awareness of what he got out of doctor who and how that will inform his take

and both he and millie gibson are firmly taking doctor who into the next generation. I don't know a lot about her (and youknow, I'm getting older, so she seems awfully young, but that's really all I know and isn't enough to form an opinion on -- but susan vibes? hoping she won't be a rose!repeat, but I really really don't think that's the intention here), but gatwa is also next!gen whovian (like me), which is very fun. it's a nerdy show, I like it when nerds are involved

the wardrobe is looking so goooood. three also had quite an extensive repertoire especially, and this feels quite closely aligned with that campness (not specifically the exact style ofc, new doctor, but Vibes)

the other obvious out of the way, dtennant and catherine tate

specifically that there's a lot of potential in the 60th anniversary to properly wrap up ten's and donna's arcs in a way that organically interacts with the previous ending they had. some really fun potential to play with theme and genre in that, I'm a sucker for recontextualisation, and for dtennant having a bad time (but then maybe at the end... an okay time?)

I hope this will also more effectively merge the rtd run with moffat's and chibnall's. they did do a bit more of that as they went along, but I think they both went too hard on the reset button (especially moffat). we did then get some more... what I'll call continuity, but it took a bit (look, I know, the continuity is madness on this show, but I like to know it's the same story at least, and not totally excise what came before)

also donna has a kid now, played by yasmin finney. I'm excited for all of that, the fact that she's called rose, casting yasmin finney, another form of bringing it into the present, rather than it being all about the past, the fact that she's teased in the trailer, but there's so much more to see

speaking of casting -- camp and queerness! so many of the casting announcements have been queer actors, and you know rtd loves queering shit up, and he's got soooo much more freedom to do so now than he did in 2005. It won't just be in the casting, it'll be in the stories and the character-writing

references to classic!who and other dw!materials, as always, and of course rtd loves that. I just like how much of nu!who is having fun with classic!who. and updating it of course

I said it before but. I like watching dtennant be upset. he does it very well. perhaps even tears who knows...

EDIT: CONSIDERING THE NEW THEME SONG REVEAL ALSO FORGOT TO SAY MURRAY GOLD'S MUSIC!!!

some things I'm hoping for:

that the continuity of the last series won't be severed, especially in regards to the various regenerations that have been since ten

similarly that ten's arc interacts both with how they died/what happened with donna, and that they've been other bodies since then and so there has been growth and change, but what does that mean to a multi-lifed being?

that ruby and the doctor won't have a romantic will-they-won't-they and that generally the doctor continues to be a character through which those sorts of things can be interrogated (perhaps more deliberately now than in the past....)

that there will be some more ideas about gender, as has been increasingly played with over the last few years

that ncuti gatwa being black influences the kinds of stories being told in regards to what kind of history and future is important

that rose's part in the specials is important (I mean, even the fact that she's donna's kid is already important, but on her own as well -- that she gets something cool to do)!

that UNIT won't be toooo involved. I'm currently watching three from the start and I remember that UNIT does a lot in that one, and that's fine, I get that there's precedent. but also they're not my favourite part of DW, generally the doctor being associated with Institutions of a military nature. makes sense for three, who's relatively trapped on earth, and I like the way it's one of humanity's ways of reacting to alien life both in classic and nu!who, but never trust military. anyway, UNIT's fine for the specials, also ties in previous seasons with kate, but hoping won't be so much in ncuti gatwa's arcs. or that there's more conflict involved with them being involved

that new writers are brought onboard, especially women, black writers, and millennials

that it'll still be sincere. that it won't suffer from irony poisoning and over-reliance on references (don't think the latter is so much the issue), and that the bigger budget won't erode its ability to tell deeply personal intimate person stories, which has been an issue over the last few years and could be a problem in future. this isn't the show of massive explosions and michael by action, it's the show or a bunch of nerds who want to see practical effect aliens and cry about them

#doctor who #dw #david tennant #rtd #russell t davies #catherine tate #ncuti gatwa #millie gibson #the doctor has travelled with minors before -- not that millie is a minor #but we dont know how old ruby is yet do we?#and whether she's 19 playing 19 or 19 playing a 15 or 16 or 17 yr old #there's more im sure but off the top of my head this is it

Any complaints or problems you have with Ahit game (plot/story wise)?

A lot of my thoughts have already been said before but only main complaint is mu, some weird characterization, and cut content:

Not really a secret that mu was done dirty as a character but from a game standpoint her plot feels kinda clunky? You play the game and get so wrapped up in subcon and dbs and the alps that you kinda forget she’s there, I feel like the game would have benefited from the cutscene with mu and snatcher being added back in, as well as the cafe scene so the mu fight feels more natural that the characters like you and wanna be friends because in canon it doesn’t fully hold up with how they act to you in the fights

OH and I think hatties diary should be more prominent to show her POV more, like think of if after every chapter ends you get to read her respective entry about it! It’d be really cute plus add more insight to her thoughts, similarly to the cafe scene for the other characters youknow? also would have loved if giving mu the timepiece was at her fight when you beat her instead, like as an option to either take it back to your ship or give it to her like so SHE fixes things back to normal and it’s not hatkid having to fix her mess it’s mu learning her lesson, plus it would be more sweet, kinda reminds me of undertale when you get to choose to spare or kill flowey or when you hug asriel it’s like that sorta vibe I’m still mad that the ending doesn’t change, though this is a case where I wouldn’t use the cut cutscene bc hat adult doesn’t exactly fit with the canon game to me so this is the only cut cutscene I wouldn’t add back but yeah if I was a modder I would so try to do these ideas because I think it could definitely help with things being less clunky

I also think the third floor of the manor could have been reused/reworked to be more fun instead of just being scrapped, like imagine if it was made into more of a maze type idea where Vanessa chases you? It has a pretty good layout for a maze type thing already well, though it would need to be edited a bit to not have beta lore but I definitely think it would help, my friend was playing it and he said it was too short I definitely think the third floor could be perfect for a more scary final room with just walls to hide with you have no tables or rooms to use like the other floors it could add more suspense I think! Also I’d love for a few more diaries like more stuff with Vanessa as a kid or meeting prince I would have loved for more letters from him besides the one or maybe he gets his own diary just one page extra would be good like with all the papers on the walls theres good opportunity to show Vanessas decent or maybe diaries from prince where he’s worried about her or something I think it’s a cool idea if the second floor is showing her manipulative tendencies in life and the third gets to show the aftermath, it would add to the creepiness definitely

Also: grooves should have been on the cruise too and or whoever is on the cruise is dependent on who you fought, I also think conductors reasoning for wanting the timepiece should have been reworked because it works for grooves he's the one who is best for for being the one you fight, but I feel like conductors motives just are bad it makes him seem like way more of an asshole which yeah he is but he’s not like a straight up bad scummy guy especially compared to how he acts in the grooves fight, it just doesn’t fit to me like maybe there can be a backstory into the specific movie it was he lost, maybe it had a family member acting in it or maybe that family member wrote it so the movie meant a lot to him and had some sentimental value, but it lost because the writing ofc wasn’t up to par with HIS writing so grooves got the award, youknow just something small like that helps so much, plus to make his grandkids in the cruise feel more natural if we are told about them or his kid or youknow just SOMETHING to make his motive work besides “lol I hate grooves and I’m the best” like grooves at least had more substance in his motives for them to work, his was more justified idk it’s just bothered me ig?

like I said No real complaints complaints but mostly just stuff that could be added to make the characters motivations and personality more set in stone and make the story flow a bit nicer is all? I guarantee if the above mentioned stuff was in the game I think it would fix a lot of the fandom issues lol

S5 Ep 24: Just Cure the Ghost by Possessing Him With Even More Ghosts

Been on a bunch of Dayquil because I got sick again (hopefully not a sign of tonsillitis or something dumb) so my brain resembles those little moss balls you can buy from craft stores. So it’s taken me a little while to form sentences into coherent thoughts, and this post was real weird for a while. I made a bunch of nonsense and was like “I don’t think bro’s copy editing can fix this” and decided to just wait until I made sense again.

Luckily, this episode is pretty weird, so it’s fine that I’m weird, too. Half of this episode is the boss fight from last episode, which is card shenanigans so we can skip that.

As you’ve probably predicted, we have to make the Blue Eyes White Dragon bother to show up to the party, which requires this many people to pray to it and...strangely...no human sacrifices?

Really thought the rule was you had to sacrifice that dragon girl, but I dunno, maybe Blue Eyes was feeling extra nice and decided it wasn’t necessary. Or maybe it was never necessary because none of these NPCs are real? Don’t think about it.

So, the Blue Eyes White Dragon does a magic girl fashion fusion with Pharaoh and makes...what I like to call an over-designed outfit.

Just youknow, it’s hard to think that this look is canon to Yugioh is all. Which is already a show that has a lot of weird looks--but this look is real freakin weird. Has the vibe he’s made out of ice cubes that taste like blue raspberry.

(more under the cut)

It sure is a design that will show up in one single episode and never be seen again, and that’s about how much thought they put into it. Make a shoulder a head? Sure. That’ll be fine. And then giant ass wings? Yeah, whatever you want. It just feels like every person in a table drew a part of Yugi’s outfit, and then they edited none of it, put an overlay filter on there and they were done. So much detail for diminishing returns, IMO.

Someone out there loves this, I’m sure. I’m just...not the target audience so take my shade with a grain of salt. We all like different things, and I’m glad the artists for this got paid for their work because like, realistically--how much time did they have to make this outfit? Not enough? There was like a different over-designed outfit for every episode of this arc and then they had to animate each over designed outfit that was covered in a billion lines. It’s a lot that they expected from this team.

He also shot a laser at the dragon but I personally feel like the suplex was the important part. Shortly after, Pharaoh reminds us that despite what his armor currently looks like, he actually does have an aesthetic with some sort of relatable foundation in the real world.

Which is a very beige lookin’ Egypt. Really hoping the team does some research and sticks some paint on Egypt for that Egypt arc or I’m going to have some words.

Alexander the Great gives Pharaoh some warm words as well, but of fatherly encouragement, which is just really bizarre coming from Alexander the freakin Great. Trying to get me to like him. This guy assassinated so many people. Like this freakin guy. What a suck up.

And then the dragon decided it was better to merge back into a wall than sit in Yugi’s belt pocket.

The dragon saw an opportunity to spend time with Yugi Muto, or put himself into a card, and was like “Bye.” You’d think that since Grandpa was the original inheritor of the Blue Eyes it’d at least be chill with him but nah...Blue Eyes doesn’t have time for this. She peaces the hell out, just like Kaiba’s voice actor did to this arc.

Now that we’re finally done with the trials and riddles, Alexander informs us that there’s One More Thing that he forgot to mention, mostly because we all should have figured this out by now.

Dr Brisbane, if you don’t recall, being his twin outside of the pyramid who’s painting his eyeliner like Bakura and cackling to himself. The “evil” half of Alexander the Great just having the time of his life just being a weird-o in the dark.

So like...Bakura is already 2 people, if you count his 2 halves, Alexander the Great is 2 people, then you got his descendant who just has zero idea he’s related to a famous Warlord and probably doesn’t want to know that, and then of course, don’t forget the Bakura bits that are lodged into Yugi’s necklace.

Bakura is split into so many different people (and yes, he was hanging out in Tea’s bean once so like--he could split it even more!) that it does help explain why he’s so freakin tilted all of the time. What’s also interesting is that this ghost didn’t activate until Brisbane walked into the premises, so for most of his life Dr Brisbane was just a dude who had no interest in Mac eye products. Then he got possessed, tried to murder Yugi’s Grandpa, and started burning the ends of his pencils until he could get a real snatched line.

I say only 2 because I mean...you could say there’s only 2 but...you could also there’s up to 6. I don’t really want to do the math and end up having to make a google doc to rival the deathcount doc in length. I think honestly, that we’re not supposed to think about it.

Anyway, they hold their hands, think happy thoughts, and then boom, they are out of the game. Just like that.

Indeed everyone is still in the Protoss armor so like...we’re probably no where near the real world. Also, off screen Grandpa got possessed.

Really says a lot about your show when this is just not a big deal and no one asks how this is possible. This is just a normal Yugioh day, honestly.

Anyway, in comes Dr Brisbane, who is somewhat giving himself away since he’s walking around and vibing in the dark.

As he’s getting more suspicious, the animators drew his lower eyeliner growing slowly longer and longer, which is a hilarious touch for this derpy archeologist in this hilariously 3/4 sleeve cropped wizard outfit. In fact, I need to discuss it for just a moment, but I don’t understand where the wizard robe came from. I don’t understand why you would wear it with khakis and a belt. He buttoned his top button on his slightly whiter khaki button up shirt, and then said “I better put on the cosplay now.”

Goes without saying that this is the least sexy of all the Bakuras, honestly. Incredible because the other Bakura is very gross and was bleeding out half of S2.

For some reason, the other half of Alexander had to wait?

He had to wait until AFTER Alex tried to take the necklace. I have no idea why this had to happen, but youknow...in the end we had this ghost pop out of Grandpa’s body to inhabit another dude who’s already got a ghost and it’s a little bit of a musical chairs situation and man it was great. I love it when Yugioh does weird ass stuff like this.

After wrestling with the ghost, Alex passes out, seemingly dead on the floor of this old ass pyramid.

Like this arc really backlogs the best parts of this arc but I’m happy we get here. I’m happy that this guy passed out in front of all this children and Yugi was like “Huh.”

But once they start wondering if they should bother burying a corpse in a perfectly good pyramid, he just pops up again, perky and happy.

And so of course they give it to him because...I dunno, the plot demanded it? We didn’t give Bakura back the ring did we? No. We stopped giving Bakura necklaces! Just because this one has a college degree doesn’t mean we should be giving him necklaces of unlimited power anymore. It’s like...that’s the first thing we learned about this asshole and yet here we are, just shoving more necklaces at the Spirit of the Millennium Ring as if this time there will be any different outcome.

Like actually...

...lets say this guy succeeds. That won’t happen, because this is a stand-alone arc, but lets pretend he did.

What would happen in the next arc?

Like then you’d have 2 Bakuras, both of which couldn’t possibly get along. Holy crap, that would be actually pretty wild, and I’d be here for that.

Sending my energy to the past to make the writers of Yugioh make the 2 Bakura’s fight. I want a fight against nasty boy and khaki man.

Anyway, the good side of Alexander the Great starts fighting with his evil half. I guess Alex Brisbane proper is sort of 3rd wheel to this situation and just doesn’t say anything.

So he just kinda books it up to the tippy top of this pyramid, where the Ultimate Power lives.

Tea helping to hold up a grown man with two other boys hanging off of him, with just the one hand. Joey and Tea together could carry a car like a tiny Lizzo handbag.

Anyway, Alexander does a little wiggly maneuver to get free and then they all just jump in together. Because why not? You’re already deep in at this point, so even Grandpa just gets in there.

Luckily, there was no Cthulian moon to haunt our nightmares, instead, just Shadi, who looks like he’s been bored as hell waiting for thousands of years for these people to just show and finish his damn game.

Lots of DM’s have this same exact feeling all of the time, I’m sure.

So next week we find out what the ultimate power is.

My bet it’s friendship. Which sure would suck for Alexander the Great, who probably didn’t have a true friend other than that horse who hella died in India.

Next update is...some time? I may take a break after this arc is up just to make a little bit of a buffer and also because I got a bunch of other things I’ve been doing, and getting sick and traveling has made a dent, and like it is the holidays coming up. But, I’ll be around! We’re going to finish this series! (and get to that Dark Side of Dimension’s movie)

OKAY BUT in reference to the ice skating TikTok...which landing is each disaster trio member and WHY. unless that’s your plot bunny in which case....😏👀

ooOOoooOH abi, i’m so glad you asked!!! (and,,,,it both might and might not be a little related to my plot bunny it’s......it’s a wild ride that’s for sure and it’s so ridiculously self-indulgent but i won’t close any more of the details let’s just say i’ve been watching many ice skating videos now)

as for which landing is for each disaster trio member and why:

#BeerLeague: totally anakin and / or ahsoka. they just crush whatever soda cans / beer cans (probably soda cans though because anakin’s lightweight af and ahsoka’s a child), chuck it to the side, make all the younglings go “WHOAAAAAA”

#Bae. is. watching: i mean, anakin probably, just because of the fancy trick and the overall sluttiness of the behavior. i mean but i guess because it’s so slutty it would also be obi-wan, but idk this gives me more anakin vibes because of the flip thing

#Every kid ever: also anakin. i will not elaborate. this boy swings from “totally cool bastard” to “chaotic dumb bastard” on an hourly basis.

#Youknow: obi-wan to a t. it’s the bae is watching but a lil’ classier. blow a kiss, you stupid jedi man. also just overall very dramatic. he would wink and blow the kiss. but also. but also, i can totally see ahsoka following her dad’s shoes and being all beauty and grace. 1000/10.

#TheDrama: all of them. all three of them are like this. all three of them are dramatic bastards.

#Penwing: anakin and ahsoka, but ironically. they’re just doing it to bother obi-wan. they see obi-wan skating gracefully or just standing at the center of the ice, and anakin and ahsoka just bellyflop and shove themselves right for obi-wan’s legs to knock him down.

#It’s my first time: idk probably bby anakin,,,,,,,,,,sand boy,,,,,learning how to ice skate,,,,,,,,,ver soft

Hello my sweet!! I was wondering if maybe I could request a lil Dewey headcanon about the reader asking dewey to go and see the infinity war/Endgame marvel double bill at the cinema?? And at first he’s like noooo but then he actually loves it and wants to watch them all??? Lotsa love my angel!🥰💜

Of couse darling!

Suuuuuuperfluffy Dewey Finn x reader ahead!

Marvelous Marvel Movienight.

"PLEASE!!! Dewdrop! You gotta see marvel at least once okay??!! Its just so gooooood! " you pleaded to your boyfriend, tugging at his shirt like a 5 year old toddler would do, to get what he wanted. Anything to watch Marvel with the love of your life.

Dewey had been stubborn and wouldnt budge... you had been whining and begging him to join you to your favorite movie in the world, but Dewey just deadpanned: "Darling... listen... This might seem shocking... but shirtless superheroes with tight abbs, aren't doing it for me..."

You chuckled a bit at his dramatic floppy hand that matched his scentence. What a man...

You sighed, pulled out your phone quickly... typed something with the speed of lightning, and turned the screen to the unimpressed face of Dewey Finn. His eyebrows shot up and he smirked a tiny bit more then he had before. He hummed: "Well... youknow im not into redheads... but... this certainly makes it better."

You grinned back at him: "Yeah... should have known Black Widow wouldn't be your cup of tea... but hey... What about Scarlet Witch?"

You turned the phone towards him again and he hummed approvingly at the picture you showed him.

"Hmmm.... Yeah... okay... thats... okay."

You glanced at him happily over your phone and watched him nod once.

You squeeled a high pitched note in happiness and victory and bounced into his arms. "YESSSS!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!! Yaaaaay Dew! Its gonna be great!!!"

Dewey looked at your stoked happy bouncy form and his eyes softened when he spoke: "Yeah... allright champ... But the witch isn't nearly as gorgeous as you are."

You bounced into his arms and pecked his lips happily.

You told him: "Im gonna call the cinema for spots..." you turned away, phone in hand ready to call for seats this evening when Deweys hand around your waist stopped you.

You whipped your head around in confusion, frown on your face as you looked to Dewey again.

He kissed you again and whispered between kisses:

"Tonight....

okay....

i...

will...

take...

care...

of....

it...."

You hummed happily in the kiss and combed your fingers through his hair, he moaned in pure bliss. His hair always had been his weak spot. And you loved touching it. So. Match made in heaven.

Dewey deepened the kiss with a small growl when you scratched the hair on the back if his neck. But when his hands slid lower onto your back you pulled away.

You chuckled when you saw Dewey trace after your soft lips as you removed your mouth from his.

Always so needy for more.

"Hey HoneyDew.... Better get your rocking ass take care of those seats okay?"

Dewey was slightly frustrated and grunted through a tight jaw: "Anything for you my angel..." his lips kissed yours one more time before he swiftly turned on his heels.

Phone in hand he walked away, yelling over his shoulder: "On it!"

.......

Dewey wouldnt tell you where the two of you were heading tonight, and you weren't having any of it tonight. He promised you he would take care of it.

After a 10 minute drive he passed your usual cinema. Passed it...

You had been driving for about 50 minutes now, and Dewey was on the wheel, with a stupid satisfied smirk on his face the whole drive. He wouldn't tell you where you were going. Or what you two would do when you got there.

You just wanted Marvel movie-night damn it.

Through your ranting thoughts you didnt notice Dewey was parking the car.

You were just about to give your boyfriend a lecture and ask him where he was taking you for the 100th time this drive, when he stopped the car and looked you in the eye. He smirked and bounced his leg in excitement when he exclaimed: "WE'RE HERE BABY!"

You were gonna ask him: where the fuck that was....

When you heared the familiar tune of a marvel movie behind the car.

whatthehell?

Dewey cheered, jumped out of the car and rushed towards your door to open it.

You hadn't even time to ask him where you were, because in a heartbeat he had pulled you out of the car enthausiastically. He tugged you towards the back of his van, and threw open the door.

Cozy pillows and 3 blankets where spread across the back of his van. Dewey even hang up actual fairylights.

When you tore your amazed gaze away from the back of the van, Dewey was standing in front of you with some cozy home-socks in one hand, and some popcorn in the other.

A happy but insecure smile tugged his lips upwards and he stepped aside to show you where the Marvel Theme was coming from.

Behind your happy DewDrop there was a giant screen, where Civil-war just started to play.

It...was a drive in cinema.

Of course! What a fool you were.

You squeeled happily and just in time saw the glint of relief in Deweys eyes when you hugged him as tightly as possible. Dewey chuckled and couldn't actually hug you back, cause socks and popcorn.

He watched you get cozy inside the van and handed you your popcorn and fuzzy socks.

A smile crept up his face as he took in how adorable and utterly happy you looked.

*gosh... how much he loved you*

Dewey crawled into the fluffy pillows beside you and tugged you closer to him. Craving you. Your happy vibe. Your absolute beauty. And your cuddles. It was never close enough for him.

Deweys eyes lit up when he watched your entranced face, your eyes glued on the screen before you. He kissed your cheek lovingly, but let you be after that. You were *so* keen to watch the movie, he didn't want to disturb you.

Dewey couldn't care less where he was with you. He didnt even watched the movie. His eyes were as glued on you, as yours were on the Marvel movie before you.

He would go anywhere... do anything... anytime...

As long as you would be there with him... it was allright with Dewey.

.....

When the movie was halfway, the lights went on for a little while.

Break-time.

Your stoked face turned to Dewey and he beamed a happy smile your way.

Deweys hand started to scratch the back of his neck and he started to mutter somewhat insecure: "Listen sweetheart... iknow... i-it... i-is... isnt quite an a-actual cinema... bu-but... erhm... you... i..."

You shut him up in the kindest way possible. You pressed a gentle, loving kiss on his soft lips, and his muttering faded away.

You breathed against his lips between kisses:

"Thankyou Dewey.... its perfect. I love it... but I love you even more..."

Your hands found his hair again and started to scratch his scalp as you deepened the kiss. You smirked in the kiss as you heared Dewey produce the slightest, quietest moan. Almost like he was embarresed by the sound he produced in public.

Deweys hands roamed under your sweater and brushed lovingly circles on your sides.

This time it was Dewey who broke the kiss. And you pouted instantly when his lips left yours. You scooted closer to his body to compensate the loss.

Dewey brushed his calloused fingers against your cheekbone and he muttered with his nose against yours: "Happy to see you this happy. Are you cozy enough for round two after this one?"

Your eyebrows knitted together in confusion and you said confused: "Wha.... what? Dew... round two?"

Dewey chuckled and kissed your nose before humming: "Yeah love... half of Infinty War to go. And Endgame later...?"

Your eyes turned wide in amazement and you squeeled loudly in excitement again.

"No way!! Both???" You yelled happily to Dewey and he nodded. His eyes beaming as he took in your glee.

Dewey continued after: "...Wanna do a marvel-marathon at home after?" He scratched the back of his neck again and flipped his hand through his own locks. A trait that showed you he was nervous about something. Dewey spoke again: "...they... erhm... are... actually... Marvel is... kind of good? I enjoy... it? I would like to see the rest too if you're into that?"

Your hands found Dewey's scruffy cheeks and you held them firmly when you kissed the boy senseless.

Dewey's grin turned into a smile, his smile into chuckle, his chuckles turned into a full on hollering laughter. As you continued to kiss every inch of his beautifull face.

You smirked towards your rockstar: "I... Dewey Finn... would love nothing more..."

Dewey looked absolutely beautifull, laying on his side against you in the back of the van. A single bit of pocorn was stuck in his messy brown locks. He held his scruffy cheek with one hand, and the other was on your waist. Holding you as close as possible. Deweys brown eyes seemed to glow into the fairylights... admiration and love for you was seen in them.

You slowly moved towards him and let his upper lip slip between your lower lip, kissing him softly.

When you pulled back you both muttered in sync: "Iloveyou."

Best date night ever.

You loved Marvel.

But you loved your marvelous rockstar even more.

hi sari! for the ask game, 4, 19, and 29. love you! :D

ILY!!!!

4. do you like your name? is there another name you think would fit you better?i didn’t use to like it mostly bc in finland it’s such a middle aged name youknow? like it was super popular in the 60s and 70s so all my friends have mums named sari (also my mother in law oof) but tbh i’ve grown to like it! especially since apparently it means a noble maiden or a princess so i’m basically namesakes with arwen uwu

also idk if this makes any sense but i kind of really like it when it comes to my tumblr identity and stuff? like it’s a unique name in the sense that i’ve never came across another sari online jkhksdh and here no one associates it with a middle aged woman so it’s just a pretty name lmao

i also adore the name scarlett and used to dream that it would be my name but nowadays i 100% associate it with @ravencycle lol but i also love the name shanley and that’s the one i’d go with if i wouldn’t want to go with sari for some reason

19. which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?slytherin! once upon a time i used to think i’d be ravenclaw but then pottermore sorted me to slytherin and after a lot of introspection i realized that it is the house for me, like yeah i was good at school but that doesn’t make me a claw yet lol i’m definitely a snek

29. three songs that you connect with right now.halsey’s entire manic album tbhmarie antoinette by ellinooraalso i must say your love (deja vu) by glass animals, not bc i’d relate to the lyrics or anything but i’ve just been listening to on repeat A Lot this week and i loooove the vibe of the song

n'doul ASJKDLJASKLDk okay but actually-- Straizo, Enrico Pucci, and Esidisi. *Maybe also Lisa Lisa and Rohan*

send me a muse you’d like to see me play!

nAMI YOU’RE GIVING ME A WORKLOAD AND A HALF. OHMYGOD.

youknow what lets do this shit, might be a good brain workout trying to do differing Bastards. small video watch or reading on a wiki and lets see how I do ya’ll.

N’Doul (I’m doing OVA cause.. *ugly cries* it was so short but the way it was handled and his final words to Jotaro just … hurt so good.)

⥊“ Oh what Fools you are for daring to believe you are a match for the Great N’Doul.. ” The man’s weathered voice rumbled, bemusement clear in tone as the scattered footfalls painted a clear image of where every single person was in the colorless expanse of his mind, his ear never far away from the golden handle of his Cane. Sound.. was a most useful tool indeed for the Blind Stand User.. allowing him the advantage of knowing where each and every one Fell from the onslaught of Geb. The heavy bumps of bodies crashed to the floor, never to move again.

How ‘tragic’, they never figured out how their Assassin had been tracking every single movement until Death had taken them all.. “ Lord Dio will be pleased knowing these bothersome Agents have been dispatched..”

Straizo ( He was kinda cool for the small screen time he had, I dont really see anything remarkable in him but he’s a good bastard still. )

✢ “ Hamon, ” Straizo began, a refined tinge clinging to his words in much the same fashion he held his dignified chin up as he overlooked the students watching in silence. Clasping his hands behind his back, nothing dared to interrupt him, continuing on as such, “ Is Life Energy, Pure, and Radiant as the sun’s own rays casting down from above. It is our weapon to battle against the Stone Masks and their Creators, though our numbers are few now after the terrible atrocities that befell the practitioners of Hamon; you will be our Future but I warn you in this very moment that you must be willing to die for this Art. Those of you who choose to leave may do so now.. the rest will follow my instruction. ”

Enrico Pucci ( Father Poosy. kinda gives me Father Anderson vibes lowkey. NVKL;DSAGLKSDGJDSNKGLDSJ tbh i dont know Jack about Shit on him. i never read anything about Stone Ocean. )

✥ “ The intricacies of God’s Will concede with that of Humanity’s Fate, it is a Gravity to behold for without the Lord’s Guiding hand; we are but Nothing than dust to the Wind. It is my vow to attain the reaches of Heaven through following the path that has been set forth. It does not matter the methods required, for the End justifies all. ”

Esidisi ( nami ur not fooling me. i see right through u but there does need to be more pillarmen honestlynvlknlsdnkgjsdg HOT MAGMA DADMOM SIR)

♨ “ You puny humans are nothing but fodder, lambs fit for the slaughter at our whimsy! Do you really think you’d be any match for the Burning King? I’ve felled hundreds of warriors and you will only add one more coal to the Scorching Inferno. ” These Hamon warriors were steadfast in their attempts to bar the three of them from taking that Stone, body after body either torn apart, consumed, or brought to a boiling End by the Might of the Pillarmen. Soon.. Soon the Red Stone of Aja will be theirs and the gift of Conquering the Sun itself will be in reach. “ Come on then, if you humans still think you have any Chance of defeating me; I’ll be more than happy to send my Boiling Blood straight into your meaningless husks! ”

Lisa Lisa ( She gives me such Eileen the Crow vibes and i will die for her.. and I will. )

❂ “ JoJo, your form is off. ” Lisa Lisa hardly needed to take a glance towards the young man to know his stance was off. “ You waste quite a bit of your Hamon displacing it as you do and we have much to learn if we are to transform you into a capable fighter for the war against the Pillarmen. I know you’re used to simple brawls against normal people but you must focus and strive for perfection in your form and stance; a single misstep, a moment of hesitation and they will Kill you without a second thought. ” Her teal gaze befell the other two, hearing Jojo’s whines and grumbles met with Caesar’s harsh snaps to take this seriously failed to earn a single flinch of her slender, stoic, features. A lone brow arched up expectantly, the silence between them more than enough to act as an Order for her Students to redo the entire sequence again.

“ Waste not of your potential, your execution must be effortless and free of squandering your energy needlessly. Now. Again. ”

Rohan ( And the horns of Rohan in that hour were like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. / Toothpaste hair man that acts like the complete gremlin bastard he looks like despite the fact i’ve not watched DiU either. uwu

✒ “ I will not humor your fruitless attempts to get me to sit with your group of Brats. I have far better things to do than sit here doing nothing than listen to you all talk like a bunch of fettering seagulls! Unless you have something worth my time or skill, I refuse to associate with your paltry little games. ” Children were nothing short of a complete waste of his time and patience, their whining grated at the Mangaka’s ears worse than nails to a chalkboard. With nothing to hold his attention, Rohan turned upon a heel, canvas tucked neatly in his arm and strode off without another word.

#kindersturm #★ Answered from Beyond the Void { Mun Answers }#( this took me like four hours. Rohan and Pucci were the hardest cause I never seen them/read them before. )#( oh my god that was a workload but it was fun to get into a different mindset and perspective <3 )

liveblog: yugioh! s103

we need a recap on what happened in the last two episodes

i have to say, that for 20min episodes, the last two episodes FLEW by

i'm trying a new perfume from a discovery set and this specific one i'm wearing is just a bit too floral for my tastes

i'm multi-tasking, clearly

in case it's not obvious, i am OBVIOUSLY watching the dub

netflix doesn't even have the japanese hahahahaha

i know yugi and the gang are supposed to be in high school but it's really hysterical that yugi is, seemingly, 4'3" haha

serenity!!!! oh shit joey's sister that's my girl

laughing at the flashback because thats dead the grown up faking a kids voice in a shitty way haha

i understand that the way this show was dubbed was actually full of shitty, near-illegal work, but fuck me if it didn't create a hysterical dub

$3M! i wish i had that onhand would be nice

wow yugi asked for a real friend when he completed the puzzle

joey really trying to act like he's a tough guy but he's far from

i, too, would be laughing if ihad some 4'3" dude tell me he could beat my ass

this actually makes me want to read the manga. i've only read a few volumes of it, and talk about a fcking 180 on the vibes and storyline

joey trying to get onboard the exclusive ship but got caught immediately

wow yugi using a loophole in the rules - smart

tea: making noise as a stowaway; tristen: be quiet!; tea: don't tell me to be quiet

joey getting slaughtered by mai, straight up

weevil andrexare also 4'3"

weevil trying to be all evil and intimidating and yugi just like okay

rex has the voice of a smoker

this dub is killing me

tea is a shitty stowaway

bakura!

"bah-coo-rah"

always remembered it as "back-u-rah" haha

joey showing off the new cards he got that become a staple of his whole deck

oh fuck me weevil's about to be the biggest asshole

yugi being the beiggest fucking idiot

just handing over his fucking exodia cards

i mean yugi HAS been bullied he really should no better

hello joey literally played keep-away with his puzzle when they first met like why would yugi think that everyone else is so upstanding

also do youknow how tall a fucking cruise ship is and actually how fast these ships move? yugi and joey would've been left in the dust

i went and read through all the scorecards and commentary you’ve written so far, and i just have to comment that i think you’ll have a much better time rewatching twelve’s era - it’s got its own problems, of course, but it’s such a breath of fresh air. i think m*ffat actually took some of people’s biggest criticisms of s5-7 to heart - the hamfisted sexiness is toned way down, and he did away with the whole “the doctor is the center of the universe and the most specialest guy ever” angle almost entirely. honestly, i almost have a hard time believing both eras were written by the same person.

hahaaa thank you, and idk why the below got so long, when your ask was relatively simple, blame it on the hyperfixation!

I acknowledge I tend to write m*ffat (mainly because im not trying to put stuff in tags to be a buzzkill but also as a joke about censoring him), but I do think he got... better

in the sense that he was overall less sexist and more character-driven later on and seems to have really run with a lot of what people wanted set up in terms of genderbending Timelords and queer lead characters, although I am finding s6 has some really good stuff... not.... his episodes so much lol...... but I'm liking it more than s5 which runs contrary with my assumptions/memory of his era, which is pleasantly surprising

I don't think he's egregious in the way writers like, say, Joss Whedon were, I've not heard stories of him being an asshole on set (except for that one story about him throwing a hissyfit about not getting the horse through the mirror in GitF back in s2), which may just be me missing stuff, so can let me know, BUT... nothing I know of. and while he's said some... Highly Dubious Shit About Women Especially and also asexuality, I genuinely think he's been working on some of those biases and fucking nonsense

we went from the Doctor kissing a lesbian without her consent to Bill Potts (who has some flaws -- the fat joke I've been seeing mentioned on Tumbls, the somewhat off-centre flirtation with the one-night stand she doesn't get to have that seems more like it comes from girl-on-girl porn than like a way lesbians might speak with one another)

from writing Rants about the dullness of asexuality that assumed a cis- and heteronormative perspective of the Doctor (he's a bloke of course he'd want to have sex was a lot of the Vibes of it) to in a "confused but got some of the spirit" writing about how the Doctor wouldn't understand human definitions of sexuality and monogamous relationship structures (there's a post about that somewhere in the depths of my blog @fabiansociety made some excellent points)

from describing the original first casting for Amy as "wee and dumpy" to... well, actually can we have some clarification there sir, also the shit you said about Karen Gillen basically just being cast because she was hot (I'm not saying I am super Yay Moffat after all), but at least toning down the sexy sexy talk on the show from what you say!

also maybe a smallish thing, and idk how much power he had and and and, buuut I appreciate how he went from the way he talked in GiTF about how Reinette was "worthy" of the Doctor because she was cultured and educated and whatnot... when Rose is literally the companion of the season and semi-textually Created Ten (regardless of youknow, reads of the relationship and all that, definitely important to the narrative and the Doctor), to having Rose appear as The Bad Wolf in the 50th anniversary special... haunting the naaarrative baybey

and I remember feeling like "Missy" when introduced was just a rehash of River Song rehash of Irene Adler (or whatever way around those characters existed) but then Gomez is actually amazing as The Master, to the point that she's the Number One thing I remember from that era of the show

and he's not an asshole about trans people, which, low bar perhaps, but not in this flipping country, especially not saying so out loud, which, like... Doctor Who is a big deal in this country and RTD is obviously a big ol' queer who's been yelling from the rooftops from Day One, but to not just have it be him, to have a cultural institution firmly in our corner, it's good feeling-wise, and Moffat is a part of that too

and what you're saying, which I cannot quite remember the details of but will eventually reach, the pivot from how the Doctor is portrayed in the Eleven arc vs the Twelve arc, and what the core of that story is, and the glory of Capaldi!

the limitations of this praise then come in the fact that he was learning this stuff while running two of the biggest British institutions, a version of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who, and so the above Things that he was a dick about, alongside the mocking of fandom during Sherlock and the weird "queer but not queer" stuff with Sherlock/Watson (look, the fucking... BBC marketed it through the lens of a ship, and then there was a whole idk... campaign to make fandom seem weird and over-invested, and then of course Sherlock actually sucked as a show for so many reasons...) means that he's managed to be a prat in real time and it's meant that what should have been fun engagement in storytelling wasn't so much for many of us wincing through the shit he was saying and writing in his shows

... that time he was like "people are accusing me of being sexist, but I love strong, sexually confident women who can step on me, and having a dominatrix kink that I'm projecting onto my female characters onscreen is the opposite of sexism actually Check Mate" (that paraphrasing was mean, sorry not sorry, but also.... I could find the quote or just a handful of handy videos that have aaaaalll of the quotes... because they were happening.... in national newspapers and in interviews and panels and twitter and.... like.... not in private... there's more I'm vaguely remembering but not sure enough to just throw out there, so yeah... but he did not shut up!)

also I will never think he's a good writer so much as Very good at thinking up cool concepts that others might be able to run with or work with him on, and he should never ever be left to his own devices and encouraged to do whatever he wants (... Sherlock..... Jekyll.... from what I've heard, Inside Man....) AND I think generally and hope that RTD2 is going to be about heralding in the next gen of creators, including perhaps... a future showrunner who didn't grow up when Classic!Who was in its infancy (I don't mean that as a diss, I just mean that we've had three of those showrunners so far), and perchance isn't a cis man, because I think a lot of cool shit that could have been better might have been if moffat wasn't learning the ABC's of third wave feminism at the same time

Gosh and he's the least sexy writer I have ever come across... maybe not ever, but considering how confident he was being about allosexual alloromantic Doctor, that man is as sexy as getting slapped by a wet fish (unless you're into that, in which case insert something else here)

ALL OF THIS TO SAY... yeah, I'm excited for Twelve. and I'm enjoying Eleven more by watching the way I'm watching and being able to set criteria for worse and for better!

I don't know what it is

I don't know what it is that makes people act so shit to me. This dude, on tinder, yes I'm trying tinder and I set very clearly in my bio that I'm looking for friendships. If you're laughing at me now, check the title of the app. So many people were just looking for friends on a super popular app that they changed the name into 'Looking for friends, dating, meet new people' something like that. Anyway, this dude... Works and lives really nearby but opposite directions. Like 1 kilometer towards one side and 1 towards the other. We clicked, I thought. We've only been talking for literally maybe 2 days and he wants to meet up. And honestly sure yaknow, if I feel like I can I will. Lately I'm really fucking uncomfortable with literally fucking everything, so doing this tinder shit I was waiting to disappoint someone and therefore disappoint or annoy myself. So the story is, we talked about meeting up and I told him Wednesday that I was up for a smoke the next evening because I hadnt slept that night. Wednesdaynight I was up again. Couldn't sleep. It's normal, since I was a kid I had these days/nights where I wondered if time even was correct since my days took so long being awake for so long. But I hadn't slept in 2 days and I told him that I was too tired and really needed my sleep that evening and that I was sorry etc. He was like don't worry, I have ADHD myself so I get it, have the same problem. My ass: *friendly connection feelings, +1 level up in friendly vibes* But then today, Friday, I had a tiny photoshoot thingy with a friend of mine which was planned for the day before but I was so sleepy and my mind was just not there that we moved it to the next day. Me, not wanting to scare another person away by canceling twice, cancelled anyway to the tinderdude. His reaction... What the fuuuck. I told him I was again tired and last night slept, but it was 4 hours and I didnt wake up fresh and shiny. Now that I think about it, I woke up at 5:30 something 30-something. I slept like short so short that my brain is like skip this shit Z, (I'm calling myself Z just for privacy shit or whatever) but my brain just is not working with me rn. Still so tired. ANYWAY. The PHUCKing dude. Mister 'wee i work at a vintage store hihi i am funny and cool or whatever and totally not pushy also *pushes* hihi hihi hihi', he had some fucking audacity man jesus christ. I literally thought we were vibing on the same level ish youknow. But no. I told him I couldn't meet him tonight because I'm pudding. I'm literally potato pudding. Microwaved and baked, I'm over. Im gonna just fukcing type the convo we had:

Me: Do you mind if we hang out tomorrow instead? I'm so tired man I slept 4 hours. Still so tired rip Dude: Lololol Me: Tomorrow evening, does that suit you? If the weathers shit we can hang at mine Tomorrow during the day my bed is gonna be fixed omfg Dude: No And we can hang at mines too you know. No hard feelings Ok ok ok Me: Sunday then? Dude: Nope Me: Aaa So when can you? Dude: Yea well until thursday next week I can't any day. Me: Ohh...

and here's where my sketchy vibes kick in, the No, Nope, like, you seem to really want to chill yet you seem like ?¿

Dude: So yeah. Just come tonight :') Otherwise there's gonna be something every time *arrogant kinda questioning frown emoji* Okay byeeeee (I didnt respond in 30 minutes because yaknow household chores and shit but hey) Me: I told you I didn't sleep in 2 days, that I'm tired as hell, so now you suddenly can't hang other days hoping my energy will just appear? But good to know you're programmed like that. And disappointing too.

He didnt respond, I don't know if he will but I fucking hate these things. I'm so far gone. All those grouphomes really fucked up the way I connect with people. I never randomly did something spontanious to others. I'm scared of others. I don't know what anyone things or wants to do and what their intentions are with me. It terrifies me and I have no idea how to fix me. I feel unfixable, because every time I try to connect I fail. I can't always tell if its me or if its someone else. Or just an apparently not so great connection as I thought. It might be the last one, but is this the whole kissing frogs until you find your match thing about? What fucking frogzilla's do I have to kiss before I meet my person. How much damage can I take from just people not seeing me as a person. I feel like the only way is to try not feeling like I am a person. I keep telling myself, I have an ID, a body, but inside I'm nowhere. I'm long gone. And guess who took some extra diazepine and elbow called tinderdude on whatsapp. Me. 'Sorry accident' After he didnt respond to me. I look greater and greater every fucking minute. I'm so embarrassing man.

But besides that I had a tiny photoshoot today! I'm very pro boobies and that's a whole other story. But I'm comfortable with my boobs and if ÍF I'm at the beach I dont wear a top. Freedom as hell. And I dont wear bra's. It's uncomfortable, it just looks sexy. So he found me on Onlyfans and literally just politely asked if I wanted to talk about taking pictures with him as he just started this series of photo's. And he is nó creep at all I wouldn't have let him in if I didn't triplecheck his vibes. And he's pretty shy too when it comes to taking pics. At least he seems to appear shy, I learned everyone can set up an act and do crazy shit for their own crazy needs. But it was fun. It was a first time but it was really cool having a testround, or like a demo version of what were going to do. Were swapping photo's of poses or pictures that we like and then we talk about outfits and stuff and locations, it's fun. He's 4 years younger but it's crazy as a 27 year old to have 4 year difference with someone and still vibe. I used to feel like that was a lot, but the mid to end twenties rocks man. I just wish I was idfk gained the fucking blessings to find nice people, and that when I do that not some crazy fucked up shit happens that causes me to want to plan my suicide but first get rid of friends and make them dislike me so they don't really have to miss me because I was a bitch to them. It's so painful to miss someone you really liked. Dead or alive I mean I miss so many people and I try not to. I really wish I could give less fucks about everything. Life sucks. But yeaaaaaaa that was it. I hope I'm gonna just keep posting my shit here instead of nowhere or in word.

If you relate feel free to contact me, I'm more comfortable with online friends than irl ones. Thanks for reading <3

Yugioh Season Zero: The Yo-Yo Crimes of Jounouchi Pt 1

It’s been a while since I visited the many times Yugi should have gone to jail, AKA season Zero, and I’m excited to visit it again.

If you just got here, this is Season Zero, which is very different vibe and a different direction plotwise than the other seasons and you can read the season zero recaps from the start in chrono order here: https://steve0discusses.tumblr.com/tagged/yuugi%20muto/chrono

So be warned, this is a 90′s anime, and it will do 90′s anime things, and I expect y’all reading this aren’t like 12.

Like I said in an earlier post, I wrote this out fully when I was going through the symptoms from my second dose--which PS, is worth it--but those symptoms knocked me out for 10 days. I was kind of a space cadet, and yo, I made some mistakes. Including writing this post out in full and then not clicking “save” on this post and then not realizing I had done that until several days later.

So long story short, I don’t remember what I originally wrote here, but lets all assume it was weird, and didn’t make sense and wasn’t funny. We’ll just assume this was for the best that it was deleted forever.

So this episode is about 2 things: Yo-yos and Jounouchi. Both get used as a tool for violence, and both need to get just a little bit cursed by Yugi to scale it the hell back. So, understandably, we start off this episode with Jounouchi, who has eagerly identified with this off brand yo-yo he apparently got out of a dumpster for being just a huge ass defect.

(more Yo-Yo crimes under the cut)

I see you dodging copyright infringement, Yugioh. Eireboy.

Also whenever I read “Eireboy” I do it in my mind in the same pacing and vocal tones that Pegasus uses to say “Kaiba boy.” Something about it’s conjunction to Yugioh, I see anything with “boy” at the end of it, and it’s voiced by a weird guy with one eye.

So I wrote these caps under the influence of my second dose, just assuming y’all understand the life I lived, but I realized writing this episode...traveling bands of yo-yo performers that go to your school and shill yo-yos with yo-yo shows in the hopes that it will get you so obsessed with yo-yos that you will not join a gang and do drugs and have sex may be just an American thing.

So when I saw a yo-yo episode I was like “Tight! Clearly, the yo-yo clowns have come to town!” and I assumed everyone in this class would be draped in yo-yos, because I just assumed that at some point at School you will get MAD OBSESSED with yo-yos for about 2 weeks.

But in this episode, everyone was like “Jounouchi, why are you playing with a random yo-yo?” and it didn’t occur to me until typing this out just now: only Jounouchi is doing this. He did this unprompted, without the encouragement of a bunch of middle aged performers doing tricks to techno music.

So instead, I have to think of Jounouchi as Ralphie in this scenario, and he just got a official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time for Christmas, but he’s gonna shoot his eye out.

Because yo-yos in this episode are basically guns.

...Kind of like a duel deck was also just a gun...

...or the wands in Harry Potter...

...which honestly...I’ve probably said this before but where I’m from, we just use straight up guns in these elaborate analogies because we freakin have to make the point crystal clear. The moment Ralphie finally got his hands on a bb-gun, he very nearly shot his eye out and broke his glasses. And that scene will haunt me until my dying day...

...but fine, we can use yo-yos, I guess it works, although to me, yo-yo’s are just teachers hoping you’ll become such a dork that no gang will accept you (and then in this universe, it does the opposite? So freakin weird).

The beginning of this episode is Jounouchi trying do his best to impress with his skills, but in actuality, getting very close to clubbing Anzu with a yo-yo. And, while Anzu is the strongest person in Yugioh in the later seasons, I feel like Season Zero Anzu is another level. It’s a serious tempt of fate that Jounouchi is doing, so Honda wisely cuts him off from doing any more of that so she won’t end up strangling yet another person in broad daylight in the middle of school.

Remember your yo-yo safety, children.

Straight up, Honda’s version of yo-yo safety is to just Never Use a Yo-Yo and that’s the most gun safety thing ever that they’ve slipped into this Yugioh Episode. I almost expected Yuugi to pull a “well, actually, I use a hunting yo-yo to get enough venison to feed my family.” But youknow, he lives in a city, so while Yugioh is pretty weird and Yuugi has to worry about a lot of things--he doesn’t have to worry about that.

This is actually foreshadowing, which I only realized in hind sight, mostly because I just can’t associate a Yo-yo with crime. Joey knowing how to use a yo-yo was foreshadowing that he was absolutely part of this gang in a past life.

Yeah that one went completely over my head the first time and the second time and it really wasn’t until just now that I finally caught it. Hoo boy, sometimes I wonder why y’all let me analyze this show.

Jounouchi decides to confront the yo-yo bandits and everyone else is like “Silly Jounouchi, he’s not gonna do that. That would be stupid.” And...in S0, they don’t know him well enough yet to know that he really is that much of a well meaning dumbass.

I think a S1-5 Yugi would have been sprinting out the door to keep Joey from killing himself (again), but Season Zero Yuugi had hope that Jounouchi would just naturally tucker out and fall asleep or something.

And he was so wrong.

Anzu’s “New Tricks” line was from the dub itself and man that’s a good line. I love Anzu’s sass in Zero.

So, Honda decides to help them find Jounouchi so all of them together could give Jounouchi an intervention for skipping school. This is the same Honda that once skipped school to babysit a tomagachi and said it was because of “Maternity leave,” but don’t worry about the hypocrisy, because from this episode we learned that Jounouchi needs a very short leash.

So this episode is a great Jounouchi episode to explain stuff that still hasn’t been explained in 5 seasons of Yugioh. In S1-5, we don’t get much about his home life other than his Mom left and his Sister lives far away and is like sickly as hell. We know nothing else. But this is the episode where we finally get to find out why Yuugi and his Grandfather decided to basically adopt him from S1 onward.

Yugioh is tackling some pretty heavy territory, but I respect the show for not trying to magically change Jounouchi’s parents like they did to Dartz. Instead, the crew decide to reach out and try to find their friend who clearly didn’t go home last night (and won’t be going back for a while), by checking every alleyway in Domino.

Fun fact Yuugi drops this episode, Domino is one of the biggest cities on Earth. This makes the Battle City Tournament even more crazy when you realize Kaiba shut down several blocks but, it also makes a tiny bit more sense how we have so many Millennium items in one place. (Yet...it still doesn’t explain Bakura and Joey’s accent.) And, I guess if your city is just extra large, you get an extra large warehouse district, too.

Speaking of, they eventually find Jounouchi at his new (but also old) crime antics mugging some random stranger next to this Game store that I just realized was cropped so it looks like it says “GANG.”

Say hello to our crime clown. He’s sort of like a discount joker, and that beanie is...man it is green.

I forget this green exists sometimes, but Season Zero has it as one of their prime colors. Good ol’ Retro Kaiba green.

I’m a little tempted to swatch Season Zero a bit and figure out their full color scheme--it’s really saturated, which is interesting when you compare it to the later seasons which are a lot more muted since...the 00′s were like that, they greyed a lot of colors out. But I’ll do it later if I do, maybe another post for another day.

Jounouchi and Honda, before they moved to the school with Yuugi in it, used to go to the same school and up until now I just assumed they were close friends. But apparently they were a lot more distant than that. I’m sure they met up several times as Jounouchi destroyed stuff and Honda came along in his volunteer janitor outfit to put the stuff the hell back, and maybe that’s how they got to know eachother better?

But basically, Jounouchi was the freakin worst, and Jounouchi’s best friend was Hirotani--this 45 year old 15 year old with the blue pony and turquoise fade--and Honda has SO MUCH hot goss to say about it.

I really get the gist that Honda may not have liked anyone else at his old school, like at all. Like maybe Honda likes cleaning up trash so much because his school was just trash top to bottom.

As is tradition, Yuugi got his tar beat in by Hirotani. Another concussion to add to his list of issues to tell his future therapist that lives in that puzzle he wears around his neck.

I still expect him to do a double cross, but it seems they wanted to keep it a relatable and more realistic fall-out, where Jounouchi has just bounced on them without even a goodbye. He and his Dad had a bad fight, and Jounouchi was like “well so long to all of this and everyone that has anything to do with it.”

In later seasons, Joey is the one trying to save other people. He’s saving his Sister, he’s saving Mai, he’s saving Yugi, but in this season Jounouchi’s friends had to save Jounouchi from himself a few times now.

I like this depth to his character, I’ll be honest. I can understand why S1-5 don’t touch on it, and I don’t think it’s because they didn’t want to have an abusive Dad storyline, because they did that several times over with Seto Kaiba (man the Dad situation in Yugioh is DIRE.) Instead they probably just felt like Season Zero already did it, so why do it again?

It’s just a shame that it wasn’t talked about in the other seasons. Joey makes a lot more sense to me now because we get to see why Jounouchi is so hard set on saving people. S4 Mai Valentine, who ditched everyone and joined a gang? That’s basically a Joey move, and that was why Joey Wheeler was all over that.

Really would have added a lot to that particular arc if the show...actually talked about Joey’s history at all rather than assume I would have watched something that was never released in the States. Instead...it just looked a lot like he had only romantic motivations, which may not have been what they were going for.

Speaking of romantic, check out this sunset. Like the sun is exploding for some reason--just a wild sunset you only see for a still frame before a commercial break.

As Joey, youknow, takes on an entire rival gang single-handedly.

Hey guys, I lived near a pretty big city most of my life and I have been on a roof...once. Just the one time when I was doing an internship in SF with a painter and we needed to take a reference photo of his painting for a gallery (and it was hella sketch, and we weren’t exactly allowed up there). Who are all these people giving teens Roof Access? It’s so hard to get! Even if you live in an apartment of a tall building, I can count on zero of my fingers the amount of times I was allowed on that roof. But TV shows and movies--they freakin love roof gardens and roof hangouts and roof fights.

Am I missing out?? How did y’all get on the ROOF? I know I’m on S5 of Yugioh now and I have seen a lot of roof stuff, but like...is this normal for everyone else? I know there’s schools that have roof sport--that’s common in the city everywhere--but that’s like...specialized roofs with 30 ft chainlink fencing and really good supports to your body doesn’t fall straight through it when you jump too much. The hell is using their normal ass roof?

This gang should have their legs swinging halfway into the floor below them, is all I’m saying, if my roof couldn’t handle our solar heating, then a normal ass roof cannot support a gang fight.

But it does look really, really cool.

Anyway, Anzu does some offscreen snooping and finds out where the crime hangs out, and suggests that we step right into crime zone and just yank Jounouchi out of there. Which is something you would only do and say if you were Anzu and cannot fear death.

If it were Jay’s it would be with an ‘s. That’s how you do a plural Jay. But it’s the 90′s, so we put a “z” on the end of everything that should have been an “s” and that’s how you get the...

I mean, thank you, dubbers, for not saying “Jizz” but for reals...that be Jizz.

Please don’t flag me, Tumblr. (which, PS, I think they turned off the flagbot, Tumblr hasn’t flagged me in forever and I’m so thankful. Mods are asleep, we can talk about anime again)

So even though Honda decided that he was fed up with Jounouchi and didn’t want to save his ass, he decided to give it another go but complete with some new sash. He also did this without telling any of the others, who just kinda spectated him for a little while.

Honestly, if they weren’t laughing at him, I wouldn’t have known that this sash was any weirder than any of his other sashes. I don’t know really know what a school uniform should look like. It’s a shame, I feel like this series has a lot of jokes and puns probably soaring right over my head.

A little bit embarrased he was caught being vulnerable, Honda decides to give us a little more context to why he ever decided to give Jounouchi the time of day in the first place.

They had PE class once, and Honda apparently loves the hell out of PE. Jounouchi ran really fast in a straight line that one time, and that is why he’s trustworthy friend material. He just needs to stop joining gangs, and he’ll be solid.

I have no idea if the fandub put that in there or if that was native to the show, but Miho legit stans Honda/Jounouchi and acts as if she’s off to write some fanfiction about it. Honestly if she did, it would make her so much more interesting of a character.

And so, until next time, we shall have to wait and see exactly what Yami Yuugi is going to do with a freakin Yo-yo and I’m sure it’s all sorts of real effed up. Excited to get there, honestly. A shame it had to happen on the part that isn’t dubbed yet, but I’ve done these subbed before, it’ll be fine!

#Season Zero #Yuugi Muto #Jounouchi #Honda #Anzu #yo-yo #Jounouchi joins a gang #Gotta go save Jounouchi's ass I guess #Miho #she was here too I guess #Just a great Jounouchi episode for the Jounouchi stans out there

Coming back to this laaaate, but @brilliantfantasticgeronimo hope it's okay I pull this onto a post, because it's easier for me to focus on than in replies!

this idea that the Doctor lands someplace and ruins everyone's day by being so Badass and Awestriking isn't really a Thing in Nu!Who "is also contrasted with the theme of the doctor inspiring *others* to do things (v Explicit theme in s1 but it's present in all those other CoDs you mention)... re:2, i think the one exception would be 7 but i think with 7 the chess-god-manipulator thing works bc we see the consequences of it thru ace. we also see it w/ amy and river but (cont) but i feel we never quite grapple w/ it emotionally (they adore the doctor anyway in the end) (except for a handful legit, hard-hitting eps like the girl who waited or town called mercy). .. and altho in both classic who and rtd who the companions function as a very important role *in the text*, u can still find fandom completely ignoring that and treating doc's 1-10 as power fantasies as well. so it's smth always there but that moffat rlly made literal also i've really liked your posts on asexuality on dw and idk if you've written this but just in case, i think it's also relevant to the very specific way some het guys are so protective of the doc's asexuality/aromancy(+the show's): "asexuality" as it functions in dw is celebrated by those guys ( i suspect) bc it gives the fantasy power over the "womanly wiles" - it's a proof of how the doc is so "enlightened" and "above" the temptress or seduction trope. (cont) (csdkjf sorry for going ott on replies rip) and it's also why i think in moffat's who the doc's sexuality is kind of tied to the idea of it like... """humbling"" or ""humanizing"" the character (as problematic as those ideas are,,, i think there's a basis to deduct that they come from before in canon)

OKAY SOOOO HI!

I just watched The God Complex right after The Girl Woman Who Waited so I'm riding that high of Consequences! Emotional Follow-through! Mmmm good plots!

I have not actually seen 7 yet outside of cute clips with Ace and ofc when he died due to the American healthcare system + gang warfare if I'm remembering correctly? and became our beautiful bouncing boy Eight, so iiiinteresting that this is a Thing, I didn't know that 👀👀👀👀👀

again, God Complex + Girl Who Waited feel like the most this era has explored Eleven's kinda... vibes around in terms of being some big Machinator who ruins peoples lives by dragging them into his shit, because he cannot Not: "I stole your childhood and now I’ve led you by your hand to your death. But the worst thing is I knew. I knew this would happen, this is what always happens. Forget your faith in me. I took you with me because I was vain. Because I wanted to be adored. Look at you. You’re glorious, Pond, the girl who waited for me. I’m not a hero. I really am just a mad man in a box. And it’s time we saw each other as we really are." Mmmm good stuff

we'll see how the next episodes do/season 7, but I've heard good things about Town Called Mercy which is an episode that I was not taking in at allll last time, because I was kind of... annoyed... by then.... and not really taking in good stuff (unlike this time)

ASEXUALITY ON DW IS LIKE! LOOK I'M WRITING OUT A SCRIPT FOR A YOUTUBE VIDEO BECAUSE IT'S SO FASCINATING RIGHT??? BOTH IN TERMS OF HOW THE CHARACTER EMBODIES AN AROACE IDENTITY AS ALIEN AND AS OTHERED WITHIN THEIR OWN SOCIETY AND AS A PERSON WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE THESE THINGS --- AND IN HOW FANDOM THINKS ABOUT THE WORD "ASEXUALITY"

(will I ever actually put together a youtube video, who knows, but I could, I edit professionally for parts of my job, and I have the Receipts!) (but the energy of it all youknow)

I am so pleased you spelled out the "womanly wiles" trope, because yes, I hadn't quite seen that, but had been circling around like... the Enlightened Asexual (or the Celibate Monk as I believe M*ffat once called it with reference to Sherlock) (and then someone like Irene Adler is the epitome of that Temptress in his version of the story...)

and what you're saying about "humbling" and "humanising" is so fascinating, because ofc to a bunch of us aces and aros and aroaces the part where the Doctor struggles to form normative relationships is one of the the most humanising factors, and ofc M*ffat especially likes the "Godlike" Doctor quite a bit but it comes back to these ideas of allosexuality and alloromanticism

but then also rejects a lot of those ideas, from memory, for being too simplistic after all, because people struggle to write the Doctor as simply alloromantic and allosexual (I've heard because the Doctor is alien, because the Doctor is more compelling when lonely, because the narrative couldn't sustain it, etcetcetc, but in the end it all comes back to "the Doctor as Character cannot get into these relationships for... reasons...." and that becomes compelling character)

(also Gomez!Master is like "we're so beyond this, we're the best thing ever, we're nemeses, we're besties, my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my silly rabbit," etcetcetc... paraphrased. but that's in M*ffat era)

(the more the show flirts with allosexuality and alloromanticism the more nuanced the Doctor becomes to me as an aroace character! because no longer is it an Enlightened Mightier Than Thou Cannot Be Touched Celibacy type Concept, it's someone who's being affected by deep relationships and very often unable to equate them using simple terms!!!! arghhh it's sooooo!!!! SOOOOOO!!!!!!!)

#doctor who #dw #the doctor #and now i go to beeed #doctor who meta #aroace doctor #acespec doctor #need to change my aroace doctor tags to acespec doctor tags #to be more precise... I hate being imprecise

I’ve watched “as time goes by”

which leaves “goodbye, farewell, and amen”

which I will be watching tomorrow

and then I will be a mess the following week at least

but before that, maybe it’s time for a quick review of the last episode + overall the show for me at this point

1. as time goes by

I really enjoyed this episode, and add it to the list of ones that fit well into this final season. We heard three names: Radar, Blake, Frank Burns, and there’s something interesting about the nature of leaving something of Radar’s and Henry’s in the time capsule, but not for Frank

on the one hand, of course it was because none of them liked Frank and didn’t want to give him the respect, but on the other he’s the only one that got to leave without some symbolic loss (I say that, he fully lost Margaret, but she’s more than a symbol and will not be buried in the ground for 100 years!)

Radar’s innocence and Henry’s life, left in Korea. Interesting that they didn’t leave anything of Trapper’s or mention his name. It would have been Hawkeye’s job to do so, and sure, I’ll read too much into it

youknow, I was almost kinda saddened that Charles was just messing with Rizzo, for a moment I genuinely believed him -- not that I don’t think he’s a far superior gremlin to BJ, but youknow... imagines if he’d genuinely had that instinct

Hawkeye ending up genuinely helping Margaret was good for me personally -- I do think, now I’m near the end of the story -- that they definitively have my favourite friendship on the show and I was missing seeing it much after s8. They get each other better than anyone else + bring out better, more thoughtful people, when they want to

I knew Rosalind Chao would arrive at some point! and here she is! I assume she’ll be sticking around for the finale too, which is interesting. My guess is she’s going to end up with Klinger, but who knows with this show, it doesn’t tend to take the romantic happiness route. But if anybody has that sort of character, it’s Klinger!

funnily enough, she’s one of the only things that’s making me a little more relaxed about the finale, because she’s a brand new character, which means for her the finale is more like the main gist of the narrative

I’m pleased that this is the second-to-last episode -- not so intense overall (although with Soon-Lee for a bit there), gives a lot of callbacks to the story and the characters, Margaret is giving me that “I need to get an A+ in being remembered in 100 years, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve” vibe that makes me love her, and Hawkeye is both ribbing her, but ultimately there to support

and Radar’s teddy-bear stays in Korea

2. s11

Overall s11 happened very much like I expected it to -- it relatively continued to be one-off episodes with the odd wrapping up of little things here and there (the time capsule, Hawkeye vs that general which is gonna be stuck in my head forever, potter’s mortgage being paid off) and both Kellye and Rizzo got to spend a little more time at the forefront, which was nice to see

it was hard for me to engage with the episodes that didn’t have some kind of thematic or character furthering device I could latch onto, because I was so fixated on how near the end this is, but alas, that’s syndication and you’re meant to just be able to watch them, I get it. Maybe on my second go-through it’ll be easier for me to focus on s10+11 without the countdown of episodes left in my head running (but also... maybe not... I always react strongly to endings -- I watch lotr every year and cry the same amount every time)

3. all of it

may end up just making a whole other post about all of it, and probably not until me head’s on a little straighter and I’m not still stuck in the middle of feelings, but what a strange experience to watch something that’s been around for quite awhile and isn’t exactly an under-appreciated show, but at the same time was never really on my radar until this year -- I feel like I’ve been let in on the world’s worst kept secret

I’m also currently rewatching it and am near the end of s4, so I need to get on with the single-season rundowns of s2+3, which I haven’t gotten around to yet. what can I say, my process is to write out how I feel, so many more words will happen

there’s also something interesting about watching this right now in the landscape of tv, in which the ability to make anything -- never mind something that’s 11 seasons -- is severely curtailed and monopolized. I’ve watched a fair few things pre-2000s (mainly star trek), but really getting to spend time with a theme, watching it get poked and prodded and dealt with in so many ways throughout the story (and thinking that there are things I wish I had seen more of, like more perspectives from Korean characters, more episodes about Margaret’s increasingly complex relationship to the army, any episode that gives us a new Charles detail, idk... couple more with Sid, RIP we’ll never get that deep-dive into wtf is wrong with BJ) is something you don’t really get the opportunity to do these days.

I have been somewhat exhausted by every time a new show is the Biggest Best Most Exhilarating Thing lately, so I think I’ll stick around the 60s-80s for a bit (I haven’t watched Columbo since I was a kid and I’ve never seen Magnum P.I.)

what an odd time this has been. think it was the exact right moment for me to watch this.
