The Bracket
Kate Stewart did not admit to watching television, at least not at work. At UNIT Headquarters, she was all business: alien threats and ancient undersea terrors and psychotic extraterrestrials in Number 10. One had to concentrate on the real things, not television.
Particularly not television featuring women who loved other women, beautiful women Kate's age who could do a sultry look that would have every pair of lesbian or bisexual knees in Unit HQ going totally wobbly.
Of course, that was probably just Kate's knees, but that was enough.
She was surfing the web on her phone, not wanting the browser history of her government computer to reflect her extracurricular explorations.
And what explorations! There was a bracket, a tournament-style voting arrangement for people to select their choice for the sexiest sapphic.
There were more than fifty of them, she saw as she scrolled through the options, and they were all gorgeous.
Well, not that one so much. Not the cartoon duck. Feathers on skin… Kate closed her eyes briefly, then snapped them back open.
No. Just no. Kate kept scrolling, kept enjoying one offering after another.
But… but that woman from the American teen show? The one Kate sometimes caught herself looking at in inappropriate ways when she watched certain episodes alone?
That woman was losing.
Losing two to one, to somebody's mother from a newspaper show from DECADES ago!
Honestly!
Kate shared the poll to several of her clandestine social media accounts, closed her phone and went back to work.
OOO
Osgood did not understand why her boss persisted in using her phone to surf the Internet at UNIT headquarters. It certainly bought her no privacy; UNIT monitored every communication in and out of the building, even the sandwich deliveries.
This, though, might prove embarrassing if it got out. Apparently the boss was a fangirl. A lesbian fangirl.
Osgood knew Kate had been married, and had met her ex-wife Valentina. She had seen her boss get into a lustful gaze with Missy from all the way across the room that had had the Doctor twisting in place until Osgood thought he might screw himself into the floor. Osgood had no illusions about Kate's sexuality, but she hadn't thought poultry would be on the menu. At least, not with the feathers still on.
But Kate was a fan of that long-legged redhead with the sultry voice and the tendancy to alternate the genders of the people she dated.
Maybe Kate liked freckles. Her blorbo certainly had a delightful array of them scattered across her breastbone. Osgood licked her lips, just a bit. Very nice.
But she was losing. She was losing the poll. She was going to be eliminated in the first round.
Well, not if Osgood could help it. She opened her secure browser and started her security penetration protocol.
OOO
"Miss Osgood?" Kate called. "Could you step in her for a moment? And close the door."
Uh-oh. Osgood followed Kate into her office. The images from the bracket were openly displayed on Kate's monitor.
"Network security has informed me that someone has been using UNIT bandwidth for unauthorized purposes, to wit, hacking a fan sight."
"Wow," said Osgood. "Who would do a thing like that?"
"No idea," said Kate. "I'd like you to look into it, though, and make very sure it doesn't happen again."
"Perhaps a certain degree of professional education might help," said Osgood. "Certain employees might not be aware that communications by any device over UNIT's network are open to inspection--tablets, phones, FitBits, everything."
"FitBits?" said Kate.
Osgood nodded sagely. "Some of the guys from IT nag me if my step count gets too low. This, though…."
"This is illicit," said Kate, "and it can't happen again."
"I'll take care of it, ma'am," Osgood assured her. On screen, the freckly redhead was now firmly in the lead in the first round. She would continue to pick up a substantial number of votes until the poll closed, unless someone shut down the worm Osgood had planted.
"She's very pretty," Osgood told her boss, who was looking at the screen.
"Yes, she is," said Kate. They both looked at the screen for a moment.
And then, somehow, Kate was looking into Osgood's eyes, and Osgood was sinking into those dark amber pools and feeling herself swept away, and away, and away.
A few moments later, Osgood came out of Kate's office and pulled the door closed. She held her head high and strode across the outer office, not meeting the eyes of anyone who might have anything to say about the furious blush burning across her cheekbones.

I tried looking up why she hulk was bad but the tags are full of marvel fans (derogatory) would you mind explaining?
SHE HULK SPOILERS? IF YOU CARE? (YOU SHOULDN'T)
The show itself is an awkward mix between mcu trying to make a new disney plus show, and a show with a female lead, which unsurprisingly turned out to be. Okay at best. If you're very forgiving. Or if you are just one of those people that feels the need 5o consume every single mcu movie / show that comes out and you felt line you'd be left behind if you didn't watch it.
It is probably one of the laziest and uninteresting pieces they've put out so far, and there is literally nothing to gain from watching this show. There are "fun" hashtag GIRL moments that the show is relying on to keep its target audience watching, right down until the last episode where it turns out a weird rich internet savy rip off elon musk dude that was introduced eariier turns out to be the villian! Ok! That's an at least entertaining plot point! What happens next!
He has created his own personal website in the same vein of various alt/far-right websites that have popped up, but with the explicit and exclusive purpose of targeting and attacking she-hulk, which leads to somebody eventually befriending and getting close to her and ends up with him stealing her blood, then ghosting her, and then later it's revealed that this blood was delivered straight to this dollar store knock off elon musk guy.
His motive? Is that he's mad that she got super powers for free. Woah. Really compelling. This (doesn't really) make me super invested in seeing how their inevitable showdown happens?
WOAH? HE INJECTS HER BLOOD INTO HIS ARM AND GETS HULK POWERS? THATS LAZY BUT OKAY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THREE TO FIVE REALLY WEIRD CAMEOS? THATS WILD WHAT HAPPENS?
She-Hulk breaks through the Disney+ UI and goes into another blurb and then storms into "Marvel HQ" to talk to Kevin! Yeah of course Kevin Feige! The guy that runs all of it! Ok! What the fuck!
WRONG AGAIN, This is Kevin the robot that makes MCU products based off of an algorithm?
Sorry I got tired of trying to explain this, this literally all happens within the last 20 minutes of the finale and it is absolutely not worth watching I fucking hate this show and I was actually okay with it until it hit this part

First Impressions of RWBY v8e11, “Risk”
Are we all terrified? Because I'm terrified. (Your idea of "momentous" better not involve killing off my favorite characters, Rivas, because I'll....I'll....shake my puny fist and write upset things on the Internet. Let that be a warning.)
Not even the Atlesians look happy about Ironwood's ultimatum. And the soldiers in HQ certainly don't look happy to see their bosses. Winter looks thoughtful and I hope she's thinking about coup strategies.
Harriet thinks it's a bluff? Interesting. I wasn't sure she had any kind of - "Who cares". Never mind...
(Actually I'm pretty sure she does care but is pretending so hard not to that it almost makes no difference. What will it take to make her crack?)
Winter thought he was bluffing, too? That does surprise me. She looked so horrified last episode when the plan was announced.
Go Marrow! He doesn't realize even now how much danger he's in, but I think he'd do it anyway if he did. He's still very young.
Winter jumps in to save his life, because she is *not* a naive kid, and knows exactly what to say to get him out of the room safely. That was definitely an act. It wouldn't surprise me if she's intervened before to get subordinates out of the way of Ironwood's rage.
Elm's expression makes it clear she'll be the next to crack. TBH in her place I'd quietly scarper as soon as backs were turned.
The Schnee dining room hosts another strategy meeting. Weiss is pacing very much like her sister, and Oscar is off by himself in a very Ozpin-like pose.
Ouch, Salem's going to reform already? I was hoping we'd have at least a few days, since she was effectively blown to atoms.
Actually you're in a worse place than yesterday, Ruby - well, I guess that's not true, you are minus a whale and plus the rest of your teammates. And an Emerald, who can cause people to hallucinate. Hint hint.
Oh no, Ruby's hit her breaking point :( There was never going to be a good time for it.
Neat gauntlet effect on Jaune's arms there. Oh, NO, Ren you talk to Nora properly right now because hearing that kind of self-contempt from her is shocking.
....That's a good start, at least. And yes, Jaune, only next time do it less dramatically.
That's a better start. Good job,both of them. Nora is so much wiser than either of them are giving her credit for, though! I never would've thought she'd have the strength to put their relationship on hold after having wished for it for so long. And she's always been good at thinking outside the box. If she were down in that strategy meeting it might have gone better.
Annnd we have an assassination team. I don't think their odds are good like this, but it's not like they have time for a better plan. And at least they've got a better reason for taking out Ironwood now than just Qrow's blind anger.
*facepalm* Why do I say things like that when the next line of dialogue explodes them? Qrow is being an idiot. Again. He hasn't been allowed to have a brain cell since the start of v6, and I hate that, and Liebrecht's voice just isn't doing it for me. There. I said it.
It's like his spirit just died when he turned his back on Oz, and all that's left of the legendary huntsman and spy is a guy who does things like yell loudly about vengeance while sneaking through a hostile military base. Maybe they're planning to pair him up with Robyn, who does have a brain cell and seems to like him, and have him stay behind with her when the team moves on.
But for now I suspect we'll get a Winter-Marrow-Qrow-Robyn teamup. Which I can get behind.
Yang's trying hard. And OOH we're jumping right in to Summertalk, because Ruby can connect dots. Enough dots to see her own possible fate, too. I don't think there's any particular reason to assume Ruby's mother was the first test case for the Hound...but it's likely enough she was one of them.
Nobody gets enough time to process trauma this volume (Blake's strategy of deliberately trying to rest after v3 is seeming pretty smart to me in hindsight), so we're on to fighting virus-Penny. And a clever solution! And Emerald being fully on board!
Finally, the long awaited Ozpin return speech. That was what I expected - he apologized, they didn't, but they acknowledged they understand better now. Ozpin still isn't going to contribute much to any plans from now on, both because the show is determined to have the kids do everything and because he himself is determined to fade out. It's Oscar's story now.
Ruby, what are you planning and how does it leverage Emerald? I should be finding Watts, Cinder and Neo very threatening, but the melodramatic posing is making it hard.
- Well, I feel baited now. "Momentous things" must have referred to Renora. But I'll take it! There's still episodes left for horrible doom.

Loki: Every MCU Easter Egg In Episode 1
Loki has officially begun on Disney+, and Tom Hiddleston comes bearing plenty of Marvel Easter eggs in the premiere episode. Here's what we found.
The premiere episode of Loki is burdened with glorious Marvel Easter eggs, from potential future villain teases to skulking Skrulls. Even before the considerable success enjoyed by WandaVision and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, MCU fans were eagerly anticipating Tom Hiddleston's return as the God of Mischief. Now blessed with his own Disney+ solo series, Loki has all of time and space to bother, and the premiere wastes little time throwing Hiddleston from the Avengers' frying pan into the TVA's fire.
After using the Tesseract to escape The Avengers in Avengers: Endgame, Loki is swiftly picked up by the Time Variance Authority - a seemingly omniscient organization overseeing the entirety of time and space. Evidently not ones to take prisoners, Loki's fate at the TVA looks grim, but Owen Wilson's Major Mobius intervenes, handing the silver-tongued variant a reprieve. In the opening episode, Mobius successfully digs to the root of Loki's dastardly ways, breaking him down to (presumably) build him back up, all with the aim of enlisting Loki's services as an ally to hunt down an especially vicious variant murdering the TVA's Minute Men.
Loki's premiere is predictably heavy with exposition, and relatively limited in scope, mostly taking place within the walls of TVA HQ. Nevertheless, Michael Waldron (creator) and Kate Herron (director) pepper the 50-minute installment with an array of references to the Marvel comics, MCU history callbacks, and hints of the multiverse madness to come. Here's every Easter egg we discovered in Loki's "Glorious Purpose."
The Avengers Intro Sequence:
Loki's introductory scene is somewhat of an Easter egg itself, retelling the famous Tesseract heist from Avengers: Endgame. Much of the footage here derives straight from the 2019 box office behemoth, meaning no other MCU stars filmed additional footage or recorded new dialogue especially for Loki. With that said, a few extra Tom Hiddleston moments are spliced into the existing footage to show events entirely from Loki's point of view. The villain's Steve Rogers "search and rescue" gag is zoomed-in, and there's a closer shot of Loki waving goodbye to Hulk in the elevator, as well as fresh reaction shots during the Stark scuffle in the lobby.
An Iron Man Callback:
After commandeering the Tesseract in New York, Loki finds himself falling from the sky above Mongolia's Gobi Desert, landing unceremoniously in the sand below, and this scene might trigger a sense of déjà vu for longtime MCU fans. In 2008's Iron Man, Tony Stark escapes capture by creating a rudimentary suit of hi-tech armor. Flying to safety, the genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist also lands roughly in a remote desert. There's a symbolic correlation in how Iron Man marked the beginning of the MCU, while Loki is now ushering in a whole new chapter, and both begin with their protagonists in matching predicaments. Both characters also crash while evading incarceration, though only Loki immediately finds himself in chains once again.
"Burdened With Glorious Purpose":
As a man who rarely shuts up, Loki has plenty of wry MCU catchphrases, and one of his most famous would be "I am burdened with glorious purpose" from The Avengers. Disney +'s Loki premiere leans heavily into the line's popularity, with Tom Hiddleston repeating the quote on several occasions throughout the episode, the phrase becoming less sinister with every utterance.
The TVA:
The addition of the TVA to MCU canon was confirmed ahead of time via Loki's trailer and, sure enough, the paradoxical pen-pushers play a prominent part in the premiere. Although their motivations and methods are somewhat altered from the source material (as well as their aesthetic, which now sits closer to The Umbrella Academy's Commission), the TVA hails directly from the Marvel comic books. They were introduced by a 1986 issue of Thor that featured several time-hopping agents, one of which picked a random Earthling up for jaywalking.
A Skrull At The TVA:
Given their propensity to shape-shift and assimilate the forms of other races, it's not surprising that a Skrull might be lurking around the TVA's front desk. One of the MCU's green aliens can be spotted in the background as Loki gets marched in, and though it's not clear why the Skrull is present, the distinct lack of guards would suggest they aren't a variant. A timely reminder that Secret Invasion is right around the corner.
The Time Twisters:
As you'd predict, Loki tries running away. With minimum effort, Hunter B-15 (played by Wunmi Mosaku) clicks a device, and Loki is pulled back to where he stood moments earlier, effectively making escape impossible. These time twisters appear to be standard issue at the TVA, and have a vaguely similar counterpart in the Marvel comics called the Retroactive Cannon. Far more lethal than Loki's little clickers, these devices would rewind a person completely until they were unwritten from history. Like The Algorithm in Tenet, but less confusing.
Life Model Decoys:
For someone who spent many, many years unaware he was actually a Frost Giant, Loki probably shouldn't be shocked that some people don't realize they're secretly robots. Heading through the TVA's airport scanner, Loki passes the test with flying colors, though he remains perplexed by the idea someone could be unknowingly cybernetic, Loki's line is a nod to Life Model Decoys, which have appeared in both the Marvel comics, and Agents of SHIELD. These lifelike androids can mimic mankind so perfectly, the LMD itself isn't always certain of the truth.
Secret Wars?:
Whether you've accidentally arrived late for work, or just escaped a group of costumed vigilantes by seizing a glowing blue cube from the beginning of time, being labeled as a variant is confusing stuff. Luckily, the TVA has put together a short animation to fill quantum criminals in on the basics. The helpful Miss Minutes finally provides an explanation of the MCU multiverse, revealing how, long ago, separate timelines fought an inter-dimensional war for supremacy that almost resulted in total annihilation. Since then, the TVA has strictly maintained one single reality - the Sacred Timeline *echoes*. The history lesson bears some similarity to 2015's Secret Wars comic event, in which conflicting universes came together in Battleworld (the setting of the original Secret Wars), and attempts were made to streamline Marvel's sandbox.
The Time-Keepers:
The TVA's infomercial also confirms the organization are led by three Time-Keepers, who oversee the combined reality and dictate the proper flow of history. This big-faced trio were first introduced in the late 1970s, created from the sole remaining survivor of the previous universe's destruction. The mysterious overlords performed much the same function in the comics as they do in Loki, and possessed virtually complete mastery over time.
Kree And Nova's Attack On Titan:
As the animated exposition rumbles on, Miss Minutes (voiced by Tara Strong) uses "starting an uprising" as an example of something the TVA might potentially frown upon. The corresponding image shows two armies clashing, with the blue folk on the left appearing to be Kree, and the force on the right possibly the Nova Corps. Based on the spiky ruins in the background, the battle is taking place on Thanos' home planet of Titan. In Guardians of the Galaxy, Ronan confirmed the Kree and Nova Corps were at war for 1000 years - was the TVA involved somehow?
Nexus Events:
This week's lesson from Miss Minutes explains how stepping off one's designated path can create a "Nexus event," and spiral out of control to spawn countless alternate timelines that trigger another war. This word has cropped up several times in the MCU, first as an internet facility in Oslo (Avengers: Age of Ultron), and then as an antidepressant drug during one of WandaVision's fake commercials. The latter was most likely a reference to the Nexus of All Realities from the Marvel comics, which is essentially a gateway between every possible timeline. The TVA's Nexus events could take their name from the very same source.
The Timeline Diagram:
Throughout Loki's Disney+ debut, the TVA repeatedly use diagrams of a single flowing timeline with branches shooting off to represent unwanted deviations. MCU fans might recognize this from Avengers: Endgame, where the Ancient One drew something extremely similar while explaining the consequences of time travel to Bruce Banner. Perhaps Ms. One has visited the TVA herself once or twice?
Devil In The Church:
MEPHISTO. There, we said it. When Mobius asks a young girl who committed time crimes in 16th century France and the child points to a stained glass window depicting the Devil, Loki knew exactly what it was doing. WandaVision dropped several hints that Marvel's own Satan would appear, all of which proved fruitless, and Loki seems to be heading down the same hellish vein. Alas, there could be a simpler explanation. Mobius claims to be chasing an alternate version of Loki, and it's highly likely the child has mistaken the God of Mischief's famous horned helmet for the demonic horns of Lucifer.
Ravonna Renslayer:
Though her name isn't mentioned in Loki's premiere, Gugu MBatha-Raw's TVA judge is actually Ravonna Renslayer, who made her debut in a 1965 Avengers issue. In the comics, Renslayer is a human from the far future, most often a villainous figure associated with Kang the Conqueror. She certainly isn't a legal official sat behind a desk. One would imagine Marvel Studios has something more interesting in store for Renslayer further down the line.
Explaining Endgame:
During his TVA interrogation, Loki quite rightly points out that it was not he who meddled with the timeline. T'was those pesky Avengers who penetrated the Quantum Realm and disrupted the natural course of events in the aftermath of the Battle of New York; Loki merely picked up the Tesseract that fell at his feet. Unfortunately, this excuse falls on deaf ears, as Gugu MBatha-Raw confirms the Avengers' ambitious time heist was entirely sanctioned by the Time-Keepers. This exchange more or less clears up every single timeline wrinkle in the MCU, including Steve Rogers' reunion with Peggy, and Gamora from the past staying in the present. It's not altering time that irks the TVA; it's altering time in a manner the Time-Keepers haven't permitted.
Loki's "Wooing":
After Owen Wilson saves Loki from being "reset," the pair sit down for a more friendly conversation, but when Loki warns Mobius that cooperation isn't an option, the TVA officer retorts with, "even when you're wooing someone powerful you intend to betray?" Loki has betrayed a fair few people during his time, and Mobius' accusation could easily apply to Odin or Thor. Most likely, however, Mobius is alluding to Thanos here - a powerful figure Loki tried buttering up with intent to usurp him once the universe was brought to its knees.
Josta:
While not strictly a Marvel reference, it's worth noting that Mobius is a big fan of an ice cold Josta. Viewers of a certain age might not recognize this soda brand, but Josta is a genuine Pepsi product that was available in the late 1990s before being discontinued. An early variety of energy drink, there's evidently a few perks to hunting down timeline criminals. In Mobius' case, this includes sugary contraband.
Loki's Greatest Hits:
In a twisted version of It's A Wonderful Life, Mobius tries to change Loki by examining his choices in the past, present and future. Unlike the jaunty 1946 holiday classic, Mobius has access to a handy hi-tech screen which displays Loki's "greatest hits." The footage begins with the God of Mischief's defeat and arrest in 2012's The Avengers - perhaps not an entry Loki himself would've picked for the highlight reel. The screen next switches to Phil Coulson's death (which Loki definitely would pick), before moving on to images of civilian deaths from the Battle of New York, the gala eyeball removal scene, and the dictator speech, all from The Avengers.
D.B. Cooper:
More an Easter egg from real-world history than Marvel lore, Loki reveals the truth about D.B. Cooper - it was Agatha Loki all along! In 1971, an as-yet-identified man boarded a Boeing 727, held the aircraft ransom for $200,000, then parachuted out with the cash. Mobius' dive into Loki's past reveals that, thanks to a lost bet with Thor, the God of Mischief descended from Asgard to pull the plane heist himself as some kind of stunt. From Loki's hairstyle matching the real D.B. Cooper artist's impression to the smattering of bank notes left behind, there's an impressive attention to detail in this scene.
Infinity Stones In The Desk:
The Infinity Stones... Thanos would give his own daughter just for one. Entire worlds brought to their knees by their power. Humans turned into Gods at the merest touch. Gary from the TVA's HR department using one as a paperweight. Threatening Casey with a fishy demise, Loki finally gets his hands back on the Tesseract, only to discover even Infinity Stones are useless within the TVA's jurisdiction. To Loki's immense surprise, Casey's desk draw is chock-full of discarded Infinity Stones, most either of the Time or Reality variety (no surprises there). The scene essentially confirms that the power of these fabled jewels has led to more than a few timeline variant incidents over the years, but perhaps also undermines the once-unstoppable power of the Infinity Stones. Well, the Infinity Saga is over.
A 3rd Millennium Kang Hint?:
In its final scene, the Loki premiere might just be hinting at the future villain of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. The MCU will soon introduce Kang the Conqueror, a major comic book baddie played by Jonathan Majors, and "Glorious Purpose" could represent the first step toward his arrival. Called out to 19th century Oklahoma, TVA agents find a piece of technology hailing from the 3rd millennium. Though it might be a coincidence, Kang hails from the 31st century, and is known for using advanced tech in his dominion of the timeline. The mysterious hooded figure is more likely a Loki variant than Kang himself, but since Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania and Loki both deal in temporal themes, it wouldn't be strange for the Kang foundations to be laid on Disney+.

drifting towards you
seungkwan x reader
- astronaut!reader, space au (?)
- no warnings !
- wc. 1265
- definitely inspired by space force hehe
Q: what do you miss most from earth?
A: fresh mangoes.
it’s odd how outside is always dark, and yet, today you swear it looks just a fraction darker than usual.
“hey,” soonyoung calls, pulling his hovering body towards you, “someone has to make a call back to hq later. I can do it if you want?”
“no!” you tell him, probably a little too quickly, a little too eagerly, “I got it.”
“alright,” he hums, a knowing smile painting his face for the smallest of moments, “well, I’m taking a nap then. don’t wait too long to make the call.”
you nod, and soonyoung disappears back to the bunks. you wait 15 minutes before pulling yourself to the screen and dialing the code for hq.
protocol is followed. you have to give updates and report any odd disturbances. there’s not much to say though. the shuttle's orbit has been unproductive since the asteroid complication a while ago. the scientists of hq all file off to their lunch break, dragging feet and murmured voices; you linger on the call.
“hey,” seungkwan smiles, pushing his headphones around his ears and switching you to a private call.
“hey,” you whisper back as if you’re two kids sneaking out. although, you admit, it does sort of feel like that. he laughs, an awkward and shy thing that makes your stomach drop as if gravity has returned but only to your organs.
“is soonyoung up?” he asks tentatively, looking around himself, swiveling slightly in his chair.
“nah,” you respond, “just me.” he laughs again, looks down at his hands, scribbling something on a notepad. you readjust your hovering body. it’s been like this for a while now. it used to be soonyoung’s job to make the calls back to hq but a while ago the lines of leadership on the shuttle began to fade like pencil on old paper. now, more often than not, you made the calls to hq and more often than not, you talked to seungkwan afterwards. funnily enough, you hadn’t known seungkwan back on the base. you met him through the private calls he used to make for soonyoung. the two boys had been close friends back on earth. so it started like that, you and soonyoung huddled around the small screen talking to seungkwan after hq calls. soonyoung later at night, talking to seungkwan alone, and waking you up with his loud laughs. soonyoung calling you over to look at something seungkwan sent. you making the hq calls alone. soonyoung leaving after saying hi to seungkwan.
Q: are you getting supple exercise?
A: yes.
“anything interesting coming up in our orbit?” you ask, fixing the brightness of the screen. seungkwan hums something, and clicks and clacks on his keyboard. you wait for him.
“ah, open the window behind you. you should be coming up on the moon soon.” you do as he says, lifting the shutter to reveal the moon outside. this is your favorite part. getting to see the moon. you hadn’t expected to like it so much when you signed up for this mission. after all, you saw the moon every night back on earth, what could be so different? but the moon proved you wrong. it’s brightness is cool and not as harsh as the sun’s. it doesn’t burn like a star, it shines. and up close, it’s magnificent. the dips and craters, the contours in its surface, the peaks and mountains.
“can you see it?”
“no, it’s only noon here.” he reminds you, tapping something more on his keyboard.
Q: what, if anything, has caused you discomfort this week?
A: the lack of warmth.
“i’m all caught up in that show you told me to watch?” he tells you.
“really? how’d you like it?”
“it’s funny. though, i don’t know how i feel about where they ended season 3. terrible cliffhanger, honestly.”
“tell me about it. i can’t believe i have to wait til I get back to watch season 4. and hey,” you point at seungkwan through the camera, “no spoilers.”
he laughs a little, scratching a spot behind his neck. “actually, i haven’t watched the new episodes yet.”
you frown. “why not? i’m dying to know what happens next.”
seungkwan shifts in his chair. it speaks and squeals as he leans towards the computer. “oh well i was sort of thinking…” he hesitates, looking around but refusing to look directly at you.
“what?”
“i was thinking i wait for you to get back, and then we could binge season 4 together.” he blurts.
you pause, a warmth filling you as if you’re in the direct light of the sun.
“seungkwan, you know that after we get back, it’s another week at base reacclimating—“
“yeah, yeah I know,” he mutters, “after all of that.”
you wait a beat, studying the bags under his eyes and his dark brown hair which he recently dyed. “yeah,” you whisper, and seungkwan looks at you for what feels like the first time, “okay yeah, let’s do it.”
he smiles, already starting to plan which snacks and drinks to bring and pulling you in with another conversation about why one character is his favorite. to which you completely disagree.
“make sure you avoid spoilers on the internet.” you warn.
he rolls his eyes, leaning back in his chair, laughs then says, “alright, i will.”
Q: has your heart rate experienced any unusual spikes or dips?
A: yes.
“have you done your survey for this week yet?” seungkwan asks you, waving a piece of paper in front of the camera.
“no.” you sigh, dragging the video call to the corner of the screen and pulling up the survey before seungkwan can make a fuss about you not doing it. “the surveys are so pointless.” you complain to him. he brushes you off, explaining for the umpteenth time their importance.
“i can monitor your answers and help you through it. it’ll take like two minutes. don’t be dramatic. in fact, I’ll type out the answers, you just float there.”
you laugh and push yourself a little ways from the screen, taking him up on the offer. you turn onto your back, floating as if you’re in water. oh how you miss water.
“okay, question one,” seungkwan hums, “has your heart rate experienced any unusual spikes or dips?”
you check the band around your wrist. the answer is yes. your heart hasn’t been beating properly from the moment the call started. but you read the numbers on your band, and they tell a different story. “no.”
“good. next question. what, if anything has caused you discomfort?”
“same as last week. lack of warmth.”
he types it out quickly, and then scribbles something else on his notepad. “are you getting supple exercise?”
“i skipped the mile yesterday.” you hear him sigh over the call. “can i still say yes?”
seungkwan shakes his head disapprovingly. “absolutely not. i’m putting no.” he types something out, then adds: “and when we’re done with this call, you better go run.”
you agree halfheartedly. already dreading the idea that this call will come to an end.
“last one.” seungkwan announces. “what do you miss most from earth?”
you think for a long moment. about fruit. about the moon outside your apartment window. about the subtle shine of the sun under the shade of the earth’s atmosphere. about the show seungkwan watched because of your recommendation. about seungkwan waiting for you to finish it.
“the thing i miss most,” you say, with a small smile, tapping on a corner of the screen, “is you.”

Anon said: How are those doodles?? Your "doodles" are a million times better than any of my finished drawings (i love them btw they are so f*cking cute!!!!)
AHHHH THANK YOU!!!! They really are doodles though haha
Anon said: What are your OCs' names?? They are so cool I'm in love with them ♡♡
If you’re talking about the four in the latest original art post I made, then they’re Chris (with the undercut), Josh (with the long hair), Max (with the scarf) and Leo (with the eyepatch)!! I’m so so happy you like them, they’re old enough to be part of me by now so seeing them liked is always such a warm feeling!!
Anon said: Do you take prompts/suggestions? Sorry I don’t know your policy but would you consider drawing Bokuro ft jealous!Bo? I’ve always headcanoned that Kuroo is really popular with both boys and girls because of his confidence and effortless charm; whether he’s oblivious to this attention despite his intelligence or aware of it yet ignoring it is anyone’s guess~ I always look forward to your art and recently got into Haikyuu!! And damn, I do ship Kuroken too but you have me addicted to Bokuro now *_* || Aah finally got the FAQ open (blame mobile tumblr for being a bitch), and yup my last ask is def a suggestion and I hope you’ll consider using it~ Somewhat unrelated, do you regularly add stuff to your red bubble? I love your Kiribaku art but I’m a huge fan of Momo (&Todomomo) and Kuroo (&Bokuro), is there any chance you have something in the works with them up for sale soon? Thanks
GOSH thank you so much for liking my old hq stuff enough to ask for more!! I’m not sure if I’ll get back to drawing bokuro soon, honestly? So I can’t promise that if I’ll go through with the suggestion it’ll be soon, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind for when the mood strikes!! And about the shop, I add to it whenever I feel there’s enough stuff piled up to? Though I plan to start adding more often than that from now on - I don’t really have anything for momo and kuroo to add on rb that isn’t already there, but as soon as I’ll have more of either of them I’ll remember to put them up! Thank you so so much for the interest in buying from me!!
Anon said: Ok but that Kirishima art was absolutely amazing
THANK YOU!!!!!
Anon said: Hi! First I really really love your art and I make this little muffed scream every time I see your stuff pop up on me feed. You’re amazing!! Second, can I ask how you do shadows? I can never make them look right or lay across my character correctly. Yours always look so amazing
Thank you!!!!!! I actually used to have that same problem with shadows? However much I kept track of where the lightsource was and the shapes I was working with it always looked wrong, somehow - the way I fixed it was by adding more shadows, actually. If you’ll pick any of my colored pieces you’ll see I don’t really put down lights all that often, which means the base color ends up being my light color too, and everything else is just shadows getting darker the further I go from where the light hits the object I’m shading - generally, I use a soft tool like a brush or a marker to very roughly put down where I want the shadows to go, and then using the same tool I smudge and darken it till it looks right to me. I can’t really explain it any better than this? But I have a small tutorial for how I do this in my art tips tag, if you wanna give it a look!
Anon said: I come back to look at your art almost every day, especially when I’m feeling down; so I’d just like to thank you for posting your beautiful art for all of us to experience. On behalf of all of your followers, Thank you! :,)))
Anon you’re gonna make me cryyyyy!!!!!! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; thank you so so much, both for this ask and for liking my stuff to begin with! <3
Anon said: Your anatomy is so so so so good! And don’t even get me started on your colours! Perfection
GOSH I still have a long long way to go, but thank you so much for thinking so!!! It makes all the effort feel worth it! ( TT^TT)<3
Anon said: I love everything about ur art! from the sketches to the full colored pieces, it's the highlight of my week whenever you post! I was actually wondering where you get the ideas for clothes! I always see the variety and was wondering if you came up with them or are they from somewhere ^v^ keep up the amazing work!!
It’s a mixture of both, actually! I like to look at clothing, both irl (on people I see, or stuff in the shops I visit, or even pics and movies and tv shows!) and drawn too - in anime and illustrations and manga and cartoons! I look at them and try to remember how they’re made, and then when I draw I think about it all and come up with my own by mixing stuff I liked from all those things - unless I see a piece of clothing that’d work just right as it is on a character, in which case I just draw it either as best as I can from memory or, if I have it, using a ref! It’s one of the things I find the most fun when drawing, I’m glad to hear you like what I come up with!! Thank you so much!!!
Anon said: Thoughts on KiriTodo? Because I. Am. Hooked.
I like it!! I don’t actively ship it, since my only actual ship for Kirishima is kiribaku, but I like the look of him with todo, aesthetically, and their friendship is highly entertaining to me, which means their potential relationship in a romantic setting is too - and, as we’ve seen with my very random dip into the non-existent kirijiro fandom, that’s more than enough for me to decide maybe I’ll wanna go and draw for them, one of these days haha
Anon said: Haven't seen KiriSero or KamiSero Fusions yet! Got some ideas for those? (Filling out the Bakusquad pentagon XD)
I really never got around to drawing those, did I! That’s actually surprising, hadn’t you pointed that out I’d have never realized - I’m not doing fusions anymore right now, but maybe I could make an exception for these two............ if the inspiration strikes, why not!
Anon said: Did you see the newer bnha episodes?! Miritama made it feel like a shoujo... (In a good way)
THIS IS SO OLD OH GOD sorry I didn’t get around to answering this sooner!!! The miritama relationship is really wonderful, isn’t it? They make me cry so much, soft warm boys, so in love............. TT’’’TT <3<3<3
Anon said: This whole year has been a trainwreck for me and your blog was one of the few things that stayed constant, so thank you for being my favorite spot on the internet. Hope you keep drawing and I love your art so much!
AH, THANK YOU! I really really hope I’ll keep on drawing too!!! I’ll do my best 💪💪
Anon said: Some days I’ll just sit in bed at 2 am and be like “I need a hug” and then I read ur blog and it’s like a safe mental hug. So thanks for that.
That’s!!!!!!!!!! so sweet oh my god!!!!!!!!! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I’m so glad my stuff can make you feel warm like that, anon!! <3<3
Anon said: So it says you don't do requests in your faq does that include commissions as well
Not right now!! Maybe sometime at the beginning of next month, ✨Stay Tuned✨
Anon said: Hellooo hope you are having a good day. It's always so fun to scroll through your blogs and enjoy your art 💕💕 Idk if it's a little weird to ask but I also love your old aokaga art and I was wondering if you had any interest left in that fandom or would ever consider drawing for it again? xx
Gods, I really don’t know? It’s been so long since I’ve last engaged with anything related to knb........ I still do love the ship though, so, maybe? I really have no clue, I might though!! Thank you so much for liking even such old things from me!!!!
#fran answers#................i'm deeply ashamed of how long it took me to answer some of these#in my defense i was taking an unplanned break#but also it shouldn't have been unplanned so#i'm very sorry about leaving you all hanging so long orz#let's try to not have that happen again any time soon

The episode starts off with the narrator explaining the plot. After the opening credits, the main characters arrive at the abandoned DBF headquarters. Ricky explains that Kyo had relocated his HQ, so this building was abandoned. They decide to turn the old DBF HQ into their base of operations. During their conversation, Chase reveals that Ricky’s birthday is coming up. However, they needed to do some serious renovations, and the first thing they had to do was turn the power back on. Ricky showed them the DBF’s unique generator, which needed a jolty—an evil spirit styled like a living ball of electricity—to power it. They decide to search the area for a jolty. Hikari finds one hovering on the roof and telepathically contacts Ricky while she jumps it.
The jolty runs away and Hikari chases after it. Hikari and the others chase it all over the building, but they eventually manage to capture it. They stick it in the generator and the power returns. They then start making plans to renovate the building into a livable home. Amy says she can rent some moving trucks from a “no-questions-asked” company, so they can move furniture into the building without drawing unwanted attention. Ricky reveals that there’s a warp ring in the building they can use to go to and from town. He also states that there’s a motorcycle left behind in the garage he’d like to work on later. Chase says they’ll need to do some painting. Jenny says she can get some tools and junk from her father. They then start their project.
Some of the things they do include: Moving furniture and other personal belongings from their homes to the base; getting the supplies they need to renovate; restoring the security system; setting up the computers and an untraceable network with internet access; construction; destruction; getting keys made; painting; and so-forth. As they do this, they all talk to and get to know each other more.
Jenny’s mother died when she was twelve. Her father is an archaeologist, and inspired her to pursue a career in archaeology herself, which led to her research of the Zeactpher Spheres. She has a lot of interest in the Zeactpher society, as she finds it fascinating that a society was once able to span the entire world. Chase is a professional surfer. While they’re trying to find the Zeactpher Spheres, he’ll have to keep up with attending surfing competitions. His mom and Ricky’s mom were best friends since high school, which is why they are so close themselves. Amy’s parents own a national hotel chain, Haru Valley Hotels, which was started by her grandfather, whom she really respects, as it was mostly him who took care of her—it was also her grandfather who gave her the magic ring that lets her control wind. However, he did not know it was magic at the time, and neither of them know its origins.
It takes seven days to complete the renovations. When everything is finished, the others surprise Ricky with a birthday cake that Jenny bought—since it was Ricky’s 22nd birthday. After the end credits, the narrator gives a preview of the next episode.

Long Vento Aureo shitpost incoming
This is a result of me trying to think too hard on the background of the characters I cosplay, and coming up with too many headcanons as a result.
Plus, I have annoyed @auralime with this theory for too long and it’s time for someone else to suffer through this now I guess.
Anyway, the culprit for this little essay/study is, in this instance, no other than Giorno Giovanna from Vento Aureo. I will also mention some events and characters not shown in the anime yet, so this is the warning. Anime-onlys, avert your eyes now.
Actually, the previous paragraph may be somewhat incorrect, since in the course of this post I will try to make the following statement: Giorno’s legal name is still Haruno Shiobana; he never changed it.
It felt strange for me when, in Episode 1, it came as a surprise to Koichi (and by extent, Jotaro) that Haruno now went by Giorno, even though Jotaro had gotten plenty of information on him beforehand. If you look at a HQ image of the reverse of the photo Koichi has at the airport:
it reads 汐華 初流乃 (Shiobana Haruno), (then some kanji I can’t really make out but probably 住所/address), Via Bosco di Capodimante, 75/b 80131, Neapolis NA, ITALIA, Dormitorio della scuola media Neapolis, 304. The address is one of an actual middle school in Naples, too. I’m guessing 304 is a dorm room number. The scene in the anime shows that Jotaro also has plenty of recent-looking pictures of Giorno, still with black hair but already rocking the pink suit, as well as of his mother, step-father and school. This is a lot of information you have on a guy. Therefore, why would the fact that Haruno is now Giorno somehow slip past Jotaro&Co?
If Jotaro had gotten his information from some national register, it would have the documents on the name change. If he somehow got his hands on school records, there is no way Koichi would have been sent to search for Haruno, because the school wouldn’t have a student with that name. This seems to indicate that whatever was the source of information Jotaro found, it still listed the youth that had moved to Italy 11 years ago as Haruno Shiobana.
We are never told when Haruno apparently changed to Giorno. In the anime scenes, his stepfather initially calls him by his Japanese name, but by the time he appears to be in elementary school, both him and school bullies are calling him Giorno. However, ‘Giorno’ could just as well be a (not necessarily positive) childhood nickname, that ended up being used all the time, up to the point that Giorno himself is only introducing himself exclusively with that name.
Haruno’s last name would probably not change simply because his mother is now married and has a different last name herself. Experts in 1990s Italian law are free to correct me, but usually a child’s last name will only change if they are officially adopted.There is no information on whether Mr. Giovanna actually adopted Haruno/Giorno. He did not seem like a particularly pleasant man, so it’s not unfeasible that official adoption papers were never filed. The anime makes no secret that school bullies gave Haruno a hard time for being half-Japanese, so he could have started using his step-father’s last name as a protective measure, even if it didn’t really work. It doesn’t look like he is particularly proud of his Japanese heritage. The airport security mention how Giorno doesn’t look Japanese at all, so apparently Padre’s genes proved to be dominant after all.
If ‘Giorno’ really is a nickname Haruno got as a child, there is no information where it came from. His family is not particularly affectionate towards him, so unless it initially was meant to be mocking, but Haruno failed to pick up on it. We are talking about the guy who thinks “Gang-Star” is a cool title, after all (GioGio I love you but please don’t pun).
There is another interesting little bit of information. Let’s say that Jotaro had an extraordinary moment of incompetence, so after somehow finding out that DIO had surviving girlfriends, making mental connections and deciding these relationships were probably rated NC-17, finding information on at least one of these lovers that had given birth... he then did not bother to check what the child’s name was? Okay, we can imagine that. Except, there was actually one more time when someone else failed to get correct information on Giorno.
In Man in the Mirror arc, Illuso pulls Fugo into the Mirror World and proceeds to read him a short summary of his wiki page
and then he gets to Giorno and goes “Nope, I’ve got nothing.” Apparently he’s even unsure of his last name. Now, Illuso is hinted to be the intel guy of La Squadra. Gathering information and ambushing the targets based on that is, quite literally, his job. We don’t know how long he had tracked the Bucci Gang, but it would still make sense if he at least knew some basic things about Giorno: age, the fact that he’s from Naples, is a middle schooler, anything? I know it’s 2001 and Google is still young, but there must have been other databases Illuso could check. (Alternate theory: Mirror World has no Internet. A truly horrible Stand power...)
Unless he was searching for the wrong guy all along. It makes sense he found nothing about Giorno Giovanna if he should have been looking for Haruno Shiobana all along.
Long story short, the new Don of Naples has a really embarrassing school ID somewhere in his wallet.
Did anyone even bother reading all the way down? I’m surprised. If anyone feels like adding something, please do.

The iptv Diaries
IPTV lets you create and share your content. You can think of IPTV as your personal version of Netflix. They are offered in a wide range of countries they offer a variety of options for providers and formats they also have an enormous number of pirated material. These services offer numerous advantages, so they are not a good idea to make the leap to these services just yet. For a better understanding of whether IPTV is right for you, review these cons and pros.
IPTV is changing rapidly how people consume media. Internet's global nature makes it hard to send reliable data, which is why IPTV service providers make use of the content delivery networks. These networks make mirror copies of data and send it to users across the world. The result is that people in California are able to watch TV in Germany as a person in Frankfurt will be able to stream a show from Europe or United States. In order to access IPTV, or an IPTV program, an individual has to connect their device to the internet.
In IPTV the TV shows that are recorded are converted to digital format and then transmitted through Internet protocol. The conversion process is possible because of bandwidth constraints. This is why digital TV content is reduced in size to make them smaller. IPTV also integrates ads which means that the contents are less likely to be corrupted. IPTV is more secure than prior IPTV service, and customers will experience minimal interruptions to their network. It is also more secure than its predecessors. IPTV service is also cost-efficient, so a low-cost subscription might be a smart choice.
A second useful IPTV software is Channel PEAR. It lets you create playlists of channels, export these to IPTV, and find content through the Internet. Upload your own content, and even customize your channel's icons. Channel PEAR is free and can be used to build up to five channels. However, the app is best used on a Mac and PC and requires users download an application. iptv offers a large variety of IPTV video content.
Even though IPTV was not designed to replace OTA TV, it's an ideal streaming technology for films or TV shows. IPTV has many other features apart from video content. Additional options include music-on demand and personal video recorders. Internet-on-TVand social applications like messengers, video chat. This IPTV experience is more convenient than the OTA equivalent. You won't be obligated to watch an episode just because the IPTV is available.
IPTV can allow you to view multiple shows simultaneously and all at once whenever you need to. This is one of the benefits that makes IPTV an ideal choice as a home entertainment system. The ability to watch multiple TV shows concurrently on multiple IPTV devices, and prevent the issue of buffering and technical issues due to network overload. IPTV also allows viewers to skip commercials and can be able to run multiple shows. IPTV provides many benefits that make it a popular choice for primary television.
IPTV is becoming more popular in developing countries, and even being offered in new markets, such as India. The global market for IPTV is valued at $40 billion in the year 2019 and is projected to grow at an annual 7.1% rate through 2025. This increase is driven by the increasing number of users who are interested in customized TV content and the increasing demands for integration services. Additionally, it is able to boast an increasing number of subscribers, which makes it an integral part of every IPTV company's offer.
With IPTV you don't have to wait for you to sit at the television. Live sports events, news, matches as well as many other shows which are streamed over the internet. IPTV is one of the most popular ways to view live sports events. A few of the most loved IPTV platforms for watching sports consist of FOX Sports Go, CBS Sports HQ and CBS Sports HQ. You can also access TV shows and video in the form of on-demand content from streaming providers like Hulu and Netflix.
Traditional television sends analog signals through cables. IPTV stores the content of its programming on servers. Every program is able to be requested by the users. It is transformed into digital format and then delivered in packets via an Internet Protocol. The video content is then made optimized for streaming and in no way affected by physical limitations of the connection. The result is that users can watch IPTV at any time and from any location and without waiting for broadcasts. It works differently to traditional TV.

aikatsu friends episode 41 + 42 + 43 spoilers (so close to finsishignh.. .gh)
I can’t believe I still have the internet tonight. I can watch HQ anime again. this is so exciting, I love living in 2019 and having modern technology
Aine... is cute.
HOLY CRAP it’s Mirai on a bike?! she’s too cool for aikatsu, oh my god....... all of her casual coords are really neat though. I wish we’d gotten that pink harness one in the game...
oh that’s right I guess I’m gonna find out what the LOVE ME ZONE is in this ep... what is it... why did they name it that
the Aikatsu Zone... it really is just Kurobas. did they think no one would notice but also, that is a hilarious thing to pull from for aikatsu of all things,,
Karen wants to climb higher than any other idol before, to warm hearts and send love all over the world... might I suggest an Aurora Rising?
the idols LMT were competing with in the past said they had no right to perform, and left the world of aikatsu.... yeah, sure they did. but that makes it seem like Hibiki and Alicia’s beef is with LMT, so wouldn’t that mean LMT is going to have to have a big-ish role in the next series...? but I guess I gotta see how PP beats LMT first before I speculate lmao
Karen, that’s a bathrobe, not pajamas. you brought 10 cars full of pjs and you still managed to pick the wrong one
little Karen had Yumekawa Yui hair...
hhhghaghghfhhh I’d forgotten how cute the animation for aifriends is... everything’s so adorable.... even Aine dragging her nails down the window.
hhhhhhhhhhhkhkhhhh Mirai touching Karen’s face tenderly as she pretends to sleep....!!!!!! I’m going to die
wow!! this aura!!! it keeps getting more and more... MORE.... oh my gosh there’s the actual Miracle Aura like we have on the game!! I had no idea it showed up in the anime, wow!! everything’s so colorful and the lighting’s so cool and Pride is such a good song...!! ! I love Love Me Tear!!!!!!
(clapping alone in my apartment)
everyone in the audience has an expression like they just got hit by a Shin・Infinite Hug
oh my god it ended... thank god I can watch the next episode immediately after!!
even after seeing that performance this ed still kicks my ass though
lmao Coco is so excited about the Miracle Aura
ep 42!! alright kids, how the heck do you manage to win this thing
I like Coco’s unbridled delight whenever she’s about to deliver a really unhelpful line.
oh that’s right, Mio had already written their new song lyrics. I’d forgotten in the last two months... I was wondering how they were going to pull a new song out of thin air.
｡：ﾟ(｡ﾉω＼｡)ﾟ･｡ t-take my tomodachikara, Pure Palette!! oh--damn, they got me. so that’s how they win: tomodachikara theft.
aww, they got their Miracle Aura too... so sparkly... I still think LMT had a better performance and should win, but I knew what was going to happen (like. even before it happened, you know) and it was just a nice feel-good ep about being good friends, so... it’s fine. it’s fine. It’s Fine
still I hope they only win by like the tiniest barely-visible sliver, I want and need the possibility of LMT beating them in the future haha
“The winner is... PURE PALETTEEEE!!” (a bomb is dropped on PP, instantly killing the new Diamond Friends in a bubblegum-pink explosion)
LMAO @ Mio getting scared when Mirai swooped in hawk-like to get a high ten
Love Me Tear.... even though you didn’t win the Diamond Friends Cup, you’re still the winners in my heart... and in Aine and Mio’s, it seems. I’m looking forward to them coming back stronger with their Moon Dresses or whatever next season.
haha, even Ken and Tamaki and Koharu Chiharu are all talking like ‘yep, LMT are the best idols after all.’ all I’m saying is watch out, Pure Palette
the Pure Palette Monogatari is gonna be so... gay
and with that, their dream has come true. aikatsu friends is over. huh what theres more
HMMM ok I guess I can stay awake for one more ep to see Diamond Dresses. ep 43!!
did Aine and Mio steal LMT’s pink limo...? or do they just get another one made for every new Diamond Friends unit??
Mio’s mom was able to combine her designs for jewelry and clothing into one project... could it be... A S2 JEWELING DRESS.... oh wait it’s the Diamond Dresses hahaha I instantly forgot about them
Maika and Ema dropped out of the Diamond Friends Cup first and then immediately announce a world tour. why weren’t they the winners again...?
I don’t mind Pure Palette singing Aikatsu Together bc it seems more like a generic aikatsu song rather than a song written specifically for Coco, but it is weird that we don’t even get one performance of Soko ni shika nai mono in Diamond Dresses first?
it is kind of cute that they’re doing this low-pressure dance where they just hop all around the stage right after becoming Diamond Friends though.
ahhh I can’t wait to see the Diamond Dresses Chiharu will design for the next main characters after Aine and Mio... (I wish)
this would’ve been a great final ep of the season. and yet... there’s several more after it... . I’m scared haha, what’s gonna happen ;;
the lyrics for Pride are so... cool
boys? a confession?? I knew I was right to be scared

Rockman.EXE Episode 36 Review.
This new comercial bumper is the cutest I’ve seen!
Isn’t Japan like in the north?
We open the episode with Netto dying from the heat in the middle of a hot day when a robotic penguin walks in to cool him down.
It was just Meiru trying to brag about her newest toy, an “Adelin-kun” penguin, named after the Adélie species of penguins.
Not a 100% identical, but pretty close.
Apparently, having these penguins is the newest trend in Densan city, especially during the summer. After getting a few shots of people walking around the city with their own penguin coolers, we go to something that looks like a freezer somewhere in Internet city where we see today’s navified robot master, Freezeman.EXE.
I honestly don’t know why he is like that, I inicially thought he was hibernating or something.
We cut to Midorikawa talking about the newest trend of having a robot penguin slave following you around 24/7.
There is no way that this thing is gonna end up gathering dust in a closet during the winter.
We then cut to the Ex-World Three that finally decided to open a curry restaurant named Number One Curry aka Maha Ichiban, where Madoi and Count Elec are complaining about the heat. Luckily for them, they still get a customer who seems to be more interested in the fact that they don’t own one of those penguins.
I wonder if this guy will have an important role in the future.
Netto and friends are heading over to Yaito’s mansion who decided to build a pool because of the heat, figures. We see Yaito waiting for them in her bathing suit as she decides to go for a swim with her personal army of Penguins behind her.
As always, nothing is too excesive for the rich.
Meanwhile, at the Net agents HQ, Saloma and Miyuki are inspecting an Adelin-kun where they discover a strange chip with Gospel’s logo on it.
Why would they start doing this now when the penguins have already been release to the public? There are like hundreds all over the city!
Of course this is the perfect time for Gospel to put their plan in motion. For some reason there is a display of giant penguins in Internet City that Freezeman turn into a super ice tower that begins to emit electronic waves.
Seriously, why is there a display of giant penguins?
This somehow affects the weather in the real world making it suddenly snow in Densan. The robot penguins are shown to be feezing the entire city, Netto and the others try to escape the cold with Meiru forgetting her penguin, but Dekao and Tohru are mysteriously frozen.
Hmm... Iceman’s operator has been frozen... Isn’t that ironic in some way?
Looks like Meiru’s penguin doesn’t like being left behind a second time and ends up freezing her. The penguin plans to do the same with Netto but he gives it the slip on his ice skates, yes, ice skates.
Why is Netto packing ice skates in the middle of summer? Plot convinience!
At the Net Agents HQ, Commander Beef tries to warn Saloma and Miyuki but they are all surprised by a penguin that came in after the Commander.
See? This is what happens when you inspect it late.
The whole city is covered in snow and the tempetures are decreasing fast, as told by Midorikawa who ends up frozen by some penguins that snuck up behind her.
As Netto is skating trying to figure out what is going on, unaware that Meiru’s penguin is following him, Rockman tells him that the network is cold too and that maybe it has something to do with what’s going on in the real world.
Funny, when Iceman froze the Water Works computer back in episode 6 you didn’t mention anything about it being cold. Can Navis even feel cold?
Netto decides to go to Yaito’s mansion to plug-in, but we interrupt this Rockman.EXE episode to bring you an evil robot penguin drama that was cutted from the dub.
RIP, Penshirou.
Yeah, for some reason Maha Ichiban is the only place in the entire city that isn’t frozen because something is keeping the penguins from getting closer. I don’t know why they cut this from the dub, maybe it was to avoid making kids feel bad for the evil penguins?
Netto arrives at Yaito’s mansion where he finds everything frozen, including Yaito. He also discovers that the penguins are the ones freezing the city.
I’m glad Yaito got what she deserved for being super materialistic and excesive, but as we’ve seen before, she is probably not gonna learn anything from this.
After the new cute comercial break animation, we see that Netto managed to escape from Yaito’s army of penguins and is now walking through the blizzard finding somewhere else to plug in. Unfortunately, Netto discovers that he dropped his PET somewhere and goes back to try and find it.
“I was wondering why you were suddenly so quiet”
After this, we cut to another report from Midorikawa, wait, what?
Weren’t you frozen by the penguins earlier?! How many times do you have to perish in this episode?
We then cut to Maha Ichiban where they all seem to be talking about something that will help stop Gospel’s plan, so Mahajarama, Madoi, Count Elec and the customer from earlier run out of the shop, but they all slip on the ice causing the man to drop a strange PET that is melting the snow around it.
They are suddenly surrounded by the penguins who freeze them all together.
It’s nice to know that Penshirou was avenged.
Netto keeps looking for his PET in the snow, luckily, Rockman calls out to him and is found.
Netto! Do you kiss you’re useless mother with that mouth?!
Netto digs Rockman out of the snow, but is too tire to stay awake, he falls on the snow with the blizzard starting to bury him alive. Rockman tries to wake him up with no avail, Meiru’s penguin appears and tries to freeze him before he is buried until Rockman yells his cyber lungs out to finally wake him up causing the penguin to fall off.
In the dub, Megaman notices the penguin, but I think the original gag was that the penguin was trying to freeze Netto the whole episode, but was never noticed until the end.
After successfully waking him up, Rockman reminds Netto that they have to find somewhere to plug-in. Coincidentally, Netto discovers the unfrozen Maha Ichiban and goes inside where he finds a connection behind the counter. Netto plugs-in Rockman and he finds this.
I think that is suppoused to be the gate to Internet city, but wouldn’t that mean that the whole Net is frozen? Or is it just that part?
Anyway, Rockman blasts it with his buster and enters Internet City where all the Navis are frozen too. He sees the giant Ice tower and figures that it is emitting strange waves, Rockman is suddenly surrounded by viruses, but its nothing a few cutted buster shots can’t handle. Oh hey, a Ice Bear virus, long time no see.
Rockman races to the ice tower where he comes across a blue dragon virus, he manages to the avoid its blizzard attacks, but his buster shots are inefficient. Thankfully, the battle chip rule doesn’t include instant win programs, so Rockman activates the Style change and uses the Wood Shield style to defeat the blue dragon.
Now Rockman faces the ice tower, but Freezeman finally makes himself known.
Butt shot! XD
Freezeman introduces himself as a commander for Gospel, he says he wants to test Rockman’s power and creates an ice stage that allows them to use Battle chips in Internet City.
Well, about that, Rockman defeated Shadowman quickly because Yaito passed Netto a bunch of rare chips, and with Cutman they used the Elec Brother Style combined with Woodman’s power, so I doubt you’re gonna get any of that in this battle.
The battle begins and Rockman is having trouble to get near Freezeman, the animation for this battle is pretty good. Something I want to point out is that the art style for this episode is knowen for showing shots where you can appreciate Rockman’s muscular body (and some butt shots), thats why I call this style “bulky Rockman”.
It is no surprise that I learned to draw bodies from watching Rockman. Also, guys have anime girls with mini skirts and jiggly boobs, we girls have moderately muscular anime boys in spandex.
Freezeman immobilizes Rockman with some ice spears and begins to freeze him slowly, while Netto is just watching from the real world waiting for Meiru’s penguin to freeze him.
Seriously, Netto, what are you waiting for? Did you ran out of chips?
However, Freezeman is interrupted by a new fire Navi named Heatman.EXE.
Heatman attacks Freezeman causing him to drop Rockman, and the penguin to break down somehow. The fire left by Heatman’s attack melts the ice covering Rockman allowing him to regain conscieness while the two Navis battle.
As a final attack, Heatman summons an insanely giant flame tower that melts all the ice in both Internet city and in the real world. Netto protects Rockman from the giant flame tower by sending him a Barrier chip.
New butt shot! This art style does not dissapoint in the butt shot deliveries.
After everything goes back to normal, Freezeman has escaped and Heatman tells Rockman that they will be enemies the next time they see eachother.
“No, I’m Rockman”
Netto remembers that the Navi’s name is Heatman and leaves the curry shop after noticing Meiru’s dead penguin behind him.
Finally, now Meiru’s penguin can join Penshirou in evil penguin heaven.
And the episode ends with the revelation of Heatman being Hinouken’s new Navi as he delivers Curry to some random house.
My thoughts?
Before you say anything about the title joke, the title actually alludes to the fact that penguins only live in the southern hemisphere of the planet.
We spend the mayority of the episode following Netto around the frozen city, along with shots of the penguins and the World Three’s restaurant with their mysterious customer, but the animation for Rockman’s battles against Freezeman and the viruses was the best part.
The scene where Penshirou breakes down when getting glose to the curry restaurant was skipped in the dub, along with the shot of the girl penguin avenging him after freezing the World Three. I’m still not sure why, the scene contributed to the plot because it let us know that the curry shop was unfrozen because the penguins where afraid of getting near, it wasn’t explained why, but at least we knew there was reason why it was the only place not covered in ice.
The Curry Restaurant is called Maha Ichiban and it translates to Maha Number one, in the dub, it is changed to Number One Curry since Mahajarama’s name was changed to Yahoot.
This episode introduces Freezeman, a Gospel comander who, just like in the game, covers the net with ice. The mysterious customer is also an important character, but I will talk about him later.
Heatman is Hinouken’s Navi in the second game, we never learned what happend to Fireman during that time, but something tells me that we are finally gonna get the answer to that and many other questions in the next episode.

BoJack Horseman: 5.2 The Dog Days Are Over
Kay, we ended episode 5.1 with the Goldfish Ladies doin’ their thang in BoJack’s pool. Aside: if their water ballet team isn’t called the Goldfish Ladies, I’ma be disappoint.
Fish Fridays have gotta be like The Purge for these ladies.
We also left off, at the tail end of the episode, with Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter. He was dropping her off at her new, um, let’s just call it “not a mansion in the Hollywoo Hills” after a trip and giving her a set of signed divorce papers.
“Take *that*, our marriage!” she joked awkwardly before leaving.
So, Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter are friendly but awks around each other. As tends to happen when exes who’ve seen each other nekkid many, many times try to stay friends with each other.
The episode starts with Diane crying in her car, mascara running down her face. She is wearing an outfit that is very unDianeish and she has cut her hair short. AKA the post-breakup haircut all girls know and eventually come to regret.
As poor Diane is cryin’ her eyes out over her canine ex-husband, uh, this happens:
This couple must be transplants from the underwater land BoJack went to for the premiere of Secretariat in season 3.
Still crying, Diane heads to the airport and asks to be taken as far away from Los Ageless as possible. She demands this of the airport attendant, who is an emu.
After the title sequence, Diane lands in Vietnam, and as she is walking through Hanoi, dodging people and reptiles alike (look, conspiracy theorists! lizard people!), Stefani calls, salivating for fresh content. Diane, if you remember, is a contributer at the website Girl Croosh, which I guess is a site for, like, everything.
She promises to write something up from there, the article of which becomes the Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Travel To Vietnam
I, personally, do not have ancestral roots with Vietnam...as far as I know. I took one of those Ancestry DNA tests a few weeks ago and am waiting on the results. As far as I know I could be 15 percent Tongan, which would be awesome.
I should visit Germany. Or Austria. Or Russia. Those I know I have roots to. Really close roots. Munich-y roots. My dad’s side of the family were from a valley near the Caucasus Mountains. I am literally Caucasian.
Sometimes, I don’t know whether to interested in the rich history or saddened and embarrassed at how white that is.
In VO, Diane explains that her family wasn’t much help in explaining to her where they came from when she was growing up, or their family history. We are shown a flashback of pre-teen Diane inquiring to her dad about just this, but he is busy with baseball. Likely a Red Sox game. Or a Red Fox game.
Furthermore, many of the stores and billboards bear her last name.
I know. Many people in Vietnam share surnames. One of my friend’s last name is Nguyen.
Everybody she passes, Diane continues, look like her (except the flamingo in the nón lá hat).But then a woman bumps into her and speaks Vietnamese to her and she has no idea what she’s saying.
At the gorgeous (cartoon) hotel, Diane checks in just as a gang of American filmmakers bust in; they are filming a movie in the hotel. It stars Laura Linney as a recently divorced woman who comes to Vietnam to find herself.
So much for escaping the LA life.
Diane puts on the dress she bought and the rice paddy hat but she still feels like a tourist.
Speaking of tourist--
Cut to Diane in her usual clothes plus the rice paddy hat appearing to take a selfie in front of the Thien Mu Pagoda.Then everything zooms out.
Pretending to be somewhere more awesome than where you actually are to make other people jealous of you on social media? The hell you say, that never happens!
Diane eats her chicken in the park when Mr. Peanutbutter calls, and, in his usual Mr. Peanutbutter way, inquires as to why she left his party early. He was gonna ask earlier but he was distracted by Todd getting his tongue stuck to the ice sculpture. Todd’s tongue swelled up, and Mr. Peanutbutter had to interfere between him and a mob boss when Todd started talking to him all muffled, the mob boss thinking he was making fun of his deaf sister.
Ya, don’t blame the mob boss.
She makes up an excuse about having a plane to catch to Vietnam while Mr. Peanutbutter literally catches his newspaper in his mouth like a good boy and he promises to pick her up like a good boy/ex-hubby. He is also glad that he is not paying for her phone bills anymore because that international call is gonna be bazongers
Wah wah wahhhhhh as joke falls flat.
In flashback, a still longhaired Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter, recently separated, are celebrating how friendly their separation is by having a divorce dinner. Their waitress turns out to be an excitable young pug by the name of Pickles and I need to call my next dog that. Not fit for a pug, tho. Maybe a dachshund.
She and Mr. Peanutbutter seem to hit it off right away, much to Diane’s annoyance. They both like water! And food scraps! And are full of boundless energy! Amazing! Diane just wants to know if he’s signed the divorce papers yet. Then suggests a housewarming party to curb his loneliness.
Back in the Bojackverse present, a family of American tourists dressed in American flag shirts and polos mistake Diane for a Vietnamese citizen and talk to her like she’s an idiot.
Yup yup yup. Reminds me of the tourist from California who carved her initials into the Roman Colosseum and then took a selfie.
I can go a few streets over and meet new people, Diane!
This is a bad reason to travel to Vietnam, Diane!
The internet exists, Diane!
At the hotel bar, Diane meets one of the only other Americans staying there, a dude working on Laura Linney’s movie about the recently divorced woman going to Vietnam to find herself. He appears to be a bald eagle, but we do not know that he is indeed bald because he is wearing a hat.
He is likely bald, tho.
I mean, unless people start fake tanning and fist-pumping there. Then I’d feel right at home.
In flashback, Diane hangs a painting of the gorgeous Te Huc Bridge at the Hoàn Kiếm Lake in her crappy new apartment just as BoJack stops by. While helping her move, he, in true blunt BoJack fashion, informs her that this place is a shithole and invites her to stay at his place for a bit. She likes the shithole though. It may be a shithole, but it is her shithole.
At Girl Croosh HQ, Stefani is signing a contract outside of their be-tented building. It seems that the “cockroaches at IT tried to unionize” so Stefani called an exterminator--ahem, “negotiator”. The exterminators, natch, are flies. She also requires that listicle from Diane of 5 Empowering Roles For Women Over 40 Who Would’ve Been Better Played By Jennifer Lawrence.
Somehow, I predict that role opposite that (now 58) year old actor Maggie Gyllenhaal didn’t get because she was told she was “too old” to play his love interest at the shocking age of 37 will go to JLaw. She’s, like, 28 now! That’s almost thirty!
Still in flashback, Diane’s trying to get work done in her shithole when a pipe leaks and a stray cat meows and someone burps. She shows up at BoJack’s door intoning “I’m a sad, sad girl with a dirty apartment” as was the phrase agreed upon she needed to utter if she ever needed a space.
Diane finishes her article there and has a glass of wine with BoJack before going back to her shithole. But it turns into...
Keep saying it, Diane. Maybe if you utter it enough times, it’ll actually come true! like the Darling kids shouting “I can fly!”
Diane mumbles drunkenly how weird it is that they are both single at the same time. BoJack knows why he thinks it’s weird, but why does she? It is just weird, they can totally make out and it’d be okay. But that is gross because he’s BoJack and he’s gross and she’s getting a divorce and allowed to be mean. Then, just as BoJack is ruminating on the last time Diane stayed in the guest room, when he went to New Mexico *andtotallydidnothookupwithateenager* she passes out on the couch in a drunken stupor.
In all my years of seeing therapists, not once has any of them advised me to fly to the capital of Vietnam.
Diane’s therapist also gossips about the non celebrities she sees. Including Demi who had a first husband named Bruce and a second named Ashton. And a client named Angelina J., who does not think of herself as an actress anymore.
An actress, a director, a humanitarian, a savior of all mankind, all in a painfully obvious attempt to keep the spotlight on her.
Yeah, I am not much of a Jolie fan.
Diane meets American Bald Eagle working on the Laura Linney movie at the bar and helps him order a drink. He thinks she’s a Vietnamese citizen. They walk through Hanoi’s market area, he tells her about his life in America, thinking she cannot understand a word he is saying, and she kisses him.
I have no bloody idea how you tongue a dude with a beak. There must be some particular angling involved.
American Bald Eagle takes her to Ha Long Bay...the set. It’s actually a backdrop for the Laura Linney movie. American Bald Eagle is the executive grip on the crew. He is Very Important. Or so he claims. But then, as they are perplexedly kissing again, a klieg light falls beside them and Diane curses. In English.
The jig is up!
Diane tries to defend her actions but American Bald Eagle ain’t havin’ it. She’s the bad guy here!
Diane is NOT having it, y’all.
Oooh, mic drop!
Number 9 reason to go to Vietnam:
She worries that this is similar to reason #5, which is Get Out Of Your Natural Habitat, but it’s whatever. Diane is getting divorced, she is owed a whatever.
In flashback, Diane has just chopped off her hair and she is wearing a kick jumpsuit looking all fly ready for her ex’s party but when BoJack arrives and compliments her she flies off the handle a bit, accusing him of trying to take advantage of her when she is vulnerable. He sighs and leaves, telling her that Mr. Peanutbutter will love her new hair.
At the party, Todd is wearing what he always is and eyes the ice swan greedily. Yes, he will lick it tonight. Oh, yes he will.
Oh, Todd. You are a delight.
Diane wanders into the library that used to be hers (her Belle-room) and bumps into Mr. Peanutbutter dressed in a tuxedo shirt and what look to be electric blue plastic pants. Carrying a dog bowl full of nachos.
Mr. Peanutbutter mumbles that she looks good. The new haircut really brings out her...neck. It is all really awkward and uncomfortable and Mr. Peanutbutter quickly finds an excuse to greet someone else.
PC hugs Diane and cries that she saw the whole thing; she will be her rock as long as it does not interfere with being Mr. Peanutbutter’s rock because they are both her friends and it also cannot interfere with her work, which is keeping her very bizzay.
There are a lot of heartbreakingly awkward moments in this episode. I kinda sympathize with PC, though. It’s always a fragile position to be in, being a friend of both parties in a divorce. There’s a fine line you have to tread.
In the present, Diane gets on a plane in Hanoi and calls BoJack to apologize for how shook she’s been post-divorce. She really just needs a friend right now. Get that, BoJack? A friend.
No more yanky your wanky, BoJack.
Or maybe do.
On the plane, none other than Laura Linney sits down beside Diane.
After she gets over her initial star struck reaction, Diane asks her how her movie ends. Does Laura find herself in Vietnam? Well, yes. Literally. She finds her clone sleeping with her ex. And they team up to take down the government.
Someone call Alex Jones!
But those, Diane says in VO, are not the real reasons to go to Vietnam. The real reason is because you see your ex-husband kissing someone else at a party.
Mr. Peanutbutter picks Diane up from the airport, we are shown the uncomfortable exchange from the first episode in his car, and just as she is about to leave with the signed divorce papers, Mr. PB admits that he is seeing someone. Who is not her.
Flashback to the party. PC is still rambling on about being supportive while talking on her phone about work related stuffs when Diane spots her ex and Pickles through a window. She kisses him, and, at first, Diane waves it off as just Mr. PB being drunk. Then, the golden retriever and the pug kiss more thoroughly, and poor Diane is crushed.
There. You can fully see the shock and heartache in her eyes, rendered perfectly through simple animation. Another reason why I heart this show so much.
Because even though she left him, even though she knows she made the right choice, it still frigging HURTS. Like shards of glass pricking her heart.
The heart is an unreasonable muscle.
Diane spends the next few frames drifting through her days. At her shithole apartment. At BoJack’s. On the plane. Even in Vietnam. In VO, she tells us she had hoped the vacation would give her some perspective, but it doesn’t. When she returns, she feels worse than ever.
And that is okay. It’s okay to ache. It’s okay to be confused. When your heart is crushed, nothing makes sense.
So, back in the present, Diane takes a deep breath, smiles a little, and says--
Wow, that was a great episode! I mean, they are all great, but this one was particularly awesome. Took FOREVER to cap, tho. I loved the artistry of the animated Vietnam, how beautiful Ha Long Bay and the Pagoda looked even rendered in animation. The attention to detail is exquisite.
The emotions were so real. When our hearts ache, whether it be after a horrible break up or a divorce or any kind of tragedy in our lives, we tend to be erratic like Diane was in this episode. We lash out at our friends. We try to doll ourselves up when we know we’re going to see ex boyfriends or girlfriends. We feel as if we’ve been stabbed when we glimpse them moving on when we cannot. Sometimes, we take unplanned trips. Or some of us spend a lot in lieu. I could not take such a trip as Diane took after the worst breakup of my life because I was in the middle of a semester...so I spent money at the local mall. Everything I earned. My paycheck was GONE as soon as I got it. I think I spent over a grand in one month alone.
We find ways to cope. And eventually, we start on the road to becoming okay again.
