So as I’m writing this we’ve only found out the very basic premise and title of the new series; Digimon Adventure Psi is about Taichi and his friends (as 5th graders) dealing with Digimon causing issues in the Human World. It’s going to start airing on TV in April

So basically Hunters/Appmon but with Taichi and co

Currently it is unclear if: 1. Is it an AU/reimagining or a midquel 2. How much of it borrows from Adventure and how much of it is original (like is really all the pieces from Adventure just suffled around or is it an entirely new thing but with Taichi slapped on top of it) 3. How long the series is going to be 4. If the series is going to use the tri. cast or recast the Chosen since they’re little kids again

Among many other things. Since this info was leaked from V-Jump it’s unclear if that’s all the info in V-Jump or if that’s just the gist of it, but whatever the case we’ll find out more when the issue actually releases on top of the live stream a week from now.

Right now, I just wanna do a quick wishlist for this series because as you might’ve figured from my previous posts, this really isn’t what I wanted the new series to be but I want to be happy and excited anyways. (Like NGL, when I read the news on WtW all I could feel was this severe resentment towards the franchise and Adventure, and I don’t want to feel like that. I want to find something to enjoy and I absolutely will)

Now ideally, if the stars aligned to make me, specifically, happy then Psi would be a 12 episode mini-series, working as a midquel, taking place between like, Adventure and Zero Two (probably closer to Adventure since they’re supposed to be that age still).

The more I think about it I don’t think that’s what Psi is going to be about; I’m assuming Toei wants to just kind of reboot Adventure to make it new and shiny for kids to enjoy so Bandai can sell a ton of toys. Sequels like tri. and Last Evo could only happen because those were aimed at an older audience, cashing in on the nostalgia. While I’m sure Psi is also meant to kind of tickle our nostalgia buds, if it’s meant to be a kids show for current kids... Well they don’t know what Adventure is, they’re not going to care about a midquel miniseries for a 20 year old TV series, they’re not going to want toys from it.

So if Psi is going to be a kids’ show, then Psi is probably going to be a 50~ish episode series, and it’s probably going to have little to nothing to do with old Adventure

That does still leave us to wonder how much of Psi is going to be familiar to us and how much of it will be new; like are they just taking the basic plot of Adventure and turning it upside down*, or is it going to be ALL NEW? Like nothing familiar?

*Like during Summer Camp the kids don’t get sucked into the DW but instead a ton of Digimon start invading the Human World and do trouble and maybe the kids go visit the Digital World to beat up Vamdemon (maybe he kidnaps a bunch of kids to find the 8th Chosen IDK) before they come back and realize the Dark Masters fucked up the Human World

Depending on the execution, I might be more interested in Adventure Upside Down; it could kind of be like the Vamdemon/Human World arc but extended and that could be really interesting to watch. Or it could be really repetetive and boring and in that scenario I might prefer new villians and struggles and whatever

Like I had mentioned before, the one thing I absolutely didn’t want the new series to be was Adventure Part 5. That was the only option I hated more than an Adventure reimagining, so yeah, I’m not fond of Psi as a whole.

But after Zero Two, I, personally, don’t want to loathe a single season of this franchise. Y’all don’t have to like it at all.

So I’ll happily say that there is potential here for an interesting story maybe. There’s potential it could be good, or it might have some very specific fanservice for me (look all I want is 2 minutes of Piemon looking cool, okay). And I’m excited to see how it’ll go, because I want to like it, because I want to have a good time

2018 pop culture ranked

(highly subjective!)

MOVIES:

10. hotel artemis- everyone who didn’t like this movie is wrong. i know they advertised it as a john wick, but it’s not and that’s okay! accept it as-is, and it’s Good.

9. sorry to bother you- do i really need to explain

8. hereditary- i’m STILL mad at those last ten minutes for scaring me! toni collette is god

7. overlord- exactly what i wanted it to be. gross and fun! uglass wyatt russell COULD

6. the favourite- pls never let yorgos lanthimos write a movie ever again just stick to directing good scripts buddy!! bc i loved this!

5. spider-man: into the spider-verse- lissen. i know this should be higher. it’s near perfect. but

4. mission: impossible- fallout- i’m glad tom cruise has some weird danger fetish so he keeps making these. and that bathroom fight?? i’m still [redacted]

3. widows- name one flaw in this movie, i’ll wait.

okay okay okay. we all know what belongs at the top of this list. we all know what the best movie of the year was. but. it’s so close for me i’m gonna call it a tie

1. black panther- obviously

1. U P G R A D E - the first fight scene alone is better than every other movie on this list? give lmg an oscar for this; he’s got a Face and he USES it. and the cinnamontography?? what even is everyone else doing with cameras?? fling them shits around to make it look cool ppl. NOTE: i went into this movie knowing only -not tom hardy is in it -something about cyborgs. that’s it. don’t watch the trailer. go in knowing as little about it as possible. as a matter of fact, forget everything i’ve said about it up til this point. blacklist it on here bc i’m gonna post about it more. just watch it.

honorable mentions: the night comes for us (hot), game night (fun, and better than it needs to be!), ant-man and the wasp (hella bad science, but i enjoyed it a lot anyway???), death of stalin (iannucci), pacific rim: uprising (boyega is a star. eastwood is a good token white guy. A+ villainy tbh)

ALBUMS:

(not including scores/soundtracks!)

10. starcrawler - starcrawler - cut the sleeves off your t shirts, let your black nail polish chip, don’t clean your apartment for a couple days, put this on and channel your inner amanda brotzman

9. nobody’s watching - steady holiday - i know we’re all sick of whisper-singing breathy ingenues, but she’s my fave okay.

8. prisma tropical - balún - don’t you wanna feel like you’re in like a digital caribbean dreamscape??

7. dirty computer - janelle monáe - again, i know this should be higher, but. it just doesn’t have the hit rate i want it to. does have some instant classics tho. miss monáe invented pussy with pynk and we have to respect that

6. isolation - kali uchis - She!!! this album is a PARTY

5. 7 - beach house - when black car comes on my consciousness instantly leaves my body to undulate in some dark starlit ether until lose your smile gradually brings me back to earth but i’m only approximately 60% corporeal until last ride finishes and i go to bed (yeah this is a nighttime album only)

4. soil - serpentwithfeet - bruh i was like six months late to this but holy shit. like multiple times during my initial listen i had to be like HE REALLY. when he said “i’m annoyed with clothes today / i’d rather swaddle myself in sorrow today” i FELT that

3. smote reverser - oh sees - jams all the way down

2. tu - alien weaponry - BANGERS ALL THE WAY DOWN

1. hive mind - the internet - morgan rhodes said this whole album makes you wanna rollerskate and that’s it. that’s the feeling. so good. smooth. fun. perfect.

honorable mentions (be the cowboy (i know, i know), acrylic, saturn, the hex, el mal querer, mozaik, the calling, double negative)

BONUS- EPs: (all of these would’ve made in into the top ten if they counted as full albums)

- the beauty of everything pt. 1 - alex isley - what a follow up to luxury!! i put this on in the morning a lot, set a good vibe for the day.

- conexão - amber mark - so good so good. this is a self-care soundtrack. put it on. light some candles. do a face mask. take a bath. braid your hair.

- crush - ravyn lenae - bops on bops. listening to this makes me feel like a girl in a way that is inexplicable??? like night song comes on and i’m. oh yeah! being a girl IS good and fun!

BOOKS:

(these are NOT all from this year, but i didn’t actually read many from this year, so this is just ~1/3 of what i did read, my faves, and the order’s only kind of correct, i didn’t put a ton of thought into ranking them but)

10. the shadowed sun by n.k. jemisin - loved it, but has one trope i HATE.

9. the hundred thousand kingdoms by n.k. jemisin - loved it. and the whole naha thing... made me feel some type of way (that #5 reinforced)

8. consider the fork by bee wilson - look. it’s a book about kitchen utensils. not for everyone. but i thoroughly enjoyed it.

7. the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson - oh man!!! spooky (idk why but my brain automatically fancast eleanor - nikki amuka bird, theo - tessa thompson, luke - billy magnussen)

6. don’t panic by neil gaiman - i read it THROUGH getting a tattoo. like lying in an uncomfortable position, exposed in a public space, with lots of people chatting and loud music. it’s that interesting and amusing (esp considering it was written before the trilogy was finished). but i’m a douglas adams nerd.

5. all but the bloody mouth by becca de la rosa - i read this all in one sitting on a rainy day when i should have been doing other things but i could not put it down. and i cried and i don’t even know why?? p sure i just got possessed by a swamp demon or something. would recommend

4. kindred by octavia butler - auntie octavia was that bitch

3. of things gone astray by janina matthewson - i would literally die for this woman. between this book and wtw she’s gotten more individual shoutouts in my gratitude journal than any other person (i think she’s second only to gus for 2018) (seriously though listen to within the wires s1 might be my single favorite piece of fiction in the universe)

2. the killing moon by n.k. jemisin - this is everything i want a fiction book to be i think. i forced myself to slow down on this just to enjoy it for longer.

1. the cooking gene by michael twitty - i would make this book into a horcrux.

honorable mentions: alice isn’t dead (great monsters!), gulp (gross but cool), the patternmaster series (wild seed is my FAVE, but i read that one last year), sing unburied sing (ghosts), children of blood and bone (fantasy!), the shadow cabinet (the shades of london is my ya guilty pleasure i just fucking love ghosts okay and the first one is legitimately Scary)

#i'm putting a read more break at the top but for some reason they don't always seem to work esp on mobile #so if this all shows up on your dash i'm sorry #but i had fun doing this!!#i don't even know how i managed to keep up with so much media this year with school and all but wow
