Round 1, Group B: Matchup 3

Makoto Naegi vs Kirito

Reasons for being generic + Propaganda below

Makoto Naegi

Reasons:

BOOOORING GENERGIC FLUFFY BROWN HAIR. BOOOO. BORING!

Lol he is literally normal in a group of weirdos . His only defining traits are an ahoge and green jacket. If you put him in a room of generic anime boys he would Not stand out. He would be lost :(

sorry for submitting a danganronpa character but his whole thing is that he's average. he says at the beginning of the game that even among the average, he's completely average. he's the one character in the game who doesn't have a real talent, having only have gotten into hope's peak academy because of luck, being the ultimate lucky student

Look at him. His talent is luck. Literally. Only normal person at the academy because he's literally just some guy and everyone else is "the best of the best" at something. Spends a lot of the first chapter (and a little of the next ones) being like "I'm literally just some guy"

He is a highschool student who describes himself as average in everything, liking whatever's popular, has messy brown hair and a hoodie, and is the protagonist despite only getting into the situation in-game out of luck. He gets two female love interests, he is the ultimate generic anime-style protagonist. He does become less average in the finale of danganronpa v1 and danganronpa v2, but until then he is the most generic boy one can be, and that generic boy swag is what somehow gets him women.

That's the #1 thing people know about him. His whole thing is that he's just A Guy. He's what you think of when you think of generic anime protagonist. He's got the power of friendship. He's handheld by the smarter/more powerful characters to a point where it's unnecessary but still ends up the leader because he has Hope and Believes in his Friends. He's just a decent guy! Also, my favorite character.

I mean. C'mon. His entire introduction is surrounding the fact that he's so average and boring that even among average people he'd be considered too average, his character development is the usual "With the power of friendship we can overcome anything!!!!", and his personality is that "nice mc with no backbone" type. He even has that generic anime dub voice

Propaganda:

he's pretty funky

he's so silly tbh that's all also i actually like him more than hajime

He's bisexual and a short king (who is unfazed by the fact that he is short; unlike many characterswho are short he never mentions it once and I'm 98% sure that if someone else brought it up he'd just be like "ok...?"), also a very decent guy

He acts pretty adorable, and I find it hilarious how other characters outshine him in protagonist potential, which makes him an even more fun protagonist in my opinion.

His whole thing is that he's just A Kid in a peer group of what's basically super-kids. He's the epitome of what you think of when you think of generic male anime protagonist: - He's got the power of friendship. - He's handheld by the smarter/more powerful characters to a point where it's unnecessary. - Acts as the polite straight man to the insane personalities around him in an "well... whatever you say then 😅" kinda way. - Obviously in way over his head but still ends up the leader because he has Hope and Believes. - Also because he is the main/POV character and so inexplicably gets to figure out and survive things. - He has a little sister and parents who look just as generic as him.

he is also portrayed to be clumsy and flustered easily. Which feels like a very Generic Anime Teenager trait to have.

Kirito

Reasons:

He is mr short black hair audience insert power fantasy himself. There isn't really that much to him aside from being strong in the game and a "lone wolf" who attracts multiple girls.

Look at him face, completely plain black hair, completely basic face. He doesn’t even have like a cool scar or anything.

progenitor of the entire species

KIRITO GOTTA BE HERE KIRITO IS THE MAN YOU'LL SEE EVERYWHERE HE'S THE MOST AVERAGE GENERIC LOOKING BOY EVER I DIDNT EVEN WATCH SAO BUT I SEE KIRITO EVERYWHERE IT'S UNCANNY MOST ISEKAI ANIMES HAVE KIRITO IN HE'S MANDATORY

I've watched all 4 seasons of the show and I genuinely would not be able to pick him out in a lineup of other black haired teenage anime boys

Every season a new isekai comes out and every season the main character looks just like kirito. I can’t tell em apart. Truly just some guy.

THE cookiecutter anime boy MC ever. he INVENTED generic anime boy (unsourced claim)

I don't like him but he's literally just a stand-in for any gamer ever lmao. "Yeah I was in the beta test" "If I were put into a VR MMO that could kill me i simply wouldn't die" etc

You literally CANNOT get more generic than this man. He's got the generic messy bowl haircut. He has black hair. Black/grey eyes. He's the main character. He has no personality. He's got zero emotions. But all the girls love him. He is LITERALLY the introductory character to the isekai genre for an entire generation of mediocre white weebs.

Main character with secret op ability. Hero of the game. "Lowkey" got a harem. Wears all black cuz he's the black sheep/ostracized. He's 16.

Look at him. He's so boring. Hes just the edgelord protagonist. Throw him in a bowl with the others and i doubt i could even pick him out

Look at him. All black outfit , the generic harem lead self insert haircut, also no personality but that’s irrelevant.

I mean look at the man! I'm literally just here seconding what i assume are tons of other votes.

Literally THE generic isekai protagonist. Has no real defining features, no distinct personality aside from being edgy and """badass""" and having a love interest. He is notorious for this. Not an asshole, but not really likeable either. Standard messy black hair, high schooler (I think? its been a while since ive watched SAO and i dont plan on watching it again), looks like any other plain dude. He is so boring and he sucks as a protagonist because of this.

Literally just some dude with black hair who ends up in a harem somehow

They are the blueprint for generic anime boys made for viewers to project onto

Short black hair, black eyes, pale skin- average Japanese teenager

Propaganda:

Kirito swordartonline my beloathed >:(((( He and his show inspired so many generic isekais with even more generic main characters

He’s so plain. When I was into sao at 12 years old, I would routinely mistake fanart of other characters for him. Very basic design. Terrible show but his ggo design was the best, and that’s because they gave him long hair! But then they immediately took it away, so he could remain a complete blank slate.

I think I accidentally wrote the propaganda above. I actually never watched SAO but Kirito... Kirito is an archetype y'know?

He's dumb and boringly OP but loves his girlfriend and pseudo daughter very much so good for him

I never watched sword art past episode 3 but I couldn’t Not submit him

i have none, honestly im not even a fan of him he is literally just the most generic man i have ever seen in an anime

he was pretty cool in ms/hs

I love him and he's perfect just don't watch past the first season shhhhh (i mean i actually liked the whole show, but you have to look past some very questionable writing decisions). He is sweet and badass and cares so much for asuna and their relationship is the shining star of all isekais. I love him. Vote for him

Just... extremely bland. The white bread of anime protagonists. He's perfect for this poll imo.

There are some good characters in SAO like Asuna, Sinoh, Alice, and Eugeo but this man gets more boring as the show goes on. Like he's okay in the first season but the girls literally had to save him during Alicitzation.

I don’t even like him but I still think he’s significant <3

Idk SAO was my first anime so nostalgia

honestly doctor who! ahsoka having her own companion is very galaxy brain. i actually have some other suggestions for ahsoka time travel companions:

1) sabine

(she just becomes increasingly smug as the mission goes on and ahsoka keeps failing, then increasingly frustrated because she realizes that she is stuck with ahsoka. i do think she would shoot anakin or palpatine in at least a couple of the timelines.)

2) bo katan

(bo katan spends most of the time fighting with ahsoka and obsessively trying to obtain the darksaber. this backfires when anakin begins to suspect bo katan of being the secret sith lord. ahsoka and bo katan are forced to fake a relationship in order to get him off their back at one point. they accidentally become jedi-mandalorian married in at least one timeline before a humiliated ahsoka resets the timeline anyway. now bo katan is uoset because their fake marriage isn’t real anymore and brings it up saltily at least once every reset.)

3) kaeden

(no coherent thoughts just kaesoka 😔)

4) mace

(at first he is shook because of how truly degenerate some of the timelines get, but also he manages to kill palpatine in at least one of them and he’s pretty pleased with himself. other than that, i feel like he would take a “we should stay and fix the damage we’ve inflicted” approach as opposed to ahsoka’s “hit the reset button now” mindset. he would also pick up at least one hobby along the way, like idk crocheting or fishing)

5) yoda

(ahsoka spends most of the time miserably trekking around with a little green gremlin in her swagpack, aka swag backpack. he keeps giving her cryptic advice on how to deal with the situation until she realizes the best action is inaction. by the end, they decide to sit on the beach and just eat sandwiches together while they watch anakin throw a tantrum over the sand while obi wan sighs because he just wanted to try out surfing)

6) luke

(this is actually the canon backstory for how ahsoka and luke met. dave filoni just didn’t tell us because he didn’t think it was important enough to mention.)

7) count dooku

(this one doesn’t really have any explanation, i just thought it would be funny. bonus points because count dooku approves of obi wan but fucking hates anakin and so this is basically his personal hell. he nearly tries to kill ahsoka at one point, thinking that he will be freed, only to realize he’ll be stuck in the timeline with anakin and obi-wan forever. thus causing him to rescue her and hit reset. while ahsoka tries to matchmake anakin and obi wan, count dooku is constantly trying to break them up. at one point anakin accuses him of being homophobic and obi wan attends a support group for lgbt adults whose parents won’t accept their marriage and count dooku gets offended because he is NOT homophobic, he is just a hater. if anakin and obi wan have 1 opp, it’s count dooku. if anakin and obi wan have 1 million opps, it’s count dooku + an army of 999,999 droids. if anakin and obi wan have 0 opps, count dooku is dead. etc etc)

Note: I would put also R2 or Chopper as candidates but they don’t really seem like good companions to me on account of them being aggressively Dalek-coded.

i think all of these work in different ways and you have put it together so beautifully - i think it makes so much sense!

in my mind since none of this is really happening, ahsoka's companion could definitely change every so often as the Force pairs her with different people in an attempt to show her a different lesson....it's not actually the person but an aspect of their personality that could help ahsoka heal and maybe even appreciate the love obi-wan and anakin share

(except dooku. dooku wasn't supposed to be there and it's his actual force ghost. he's just such a strong hater that the force could literally not keep him out of this liminal space)

#asks #time traveler ahsoka au #all great thoughts here a plus

with your recent art posts I'd just like to say that I REALLY love ur fanfic Damage. I read it a bit ago but like its like so super awesome. I really love the robot characters in sonic especially Mecha mk2 and Metal (I found the fic around when the scrapnik short story came out thats what made me obsessed with with mecha). I also have read all the other short stories you wrote with the bots. they are like my comfort characters and i think out of the few fanfics ive read Damage is probably like my comfort one idk its uh i dont remember what the word is but like something thats not happy necessarily but it still makes you feel better is it cathartic? idk well uh um. bascially efskjffhrfherjjrdkgrdjgvgzrfgbeghufchsfrjlgdfjbgignjsfdsdj (me im happy so joyus ur fanfics are so cool and also I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I LOOKED AT UR TUMBLR AND YOU WERE A BUG AND SNAKE GUY I LOVE BUGS AND ULTRAKILL AND IM ALSO TRANSMASC SO LIKE I THINK UR PRETTY COOL!!) also sorry if i am like weird or something i dont know how to talk to new people

waghghgGHGH THANK YMOU SO MUCH???? this means so much to me <333 and it's funny i've heard the same thing from other people about the story, as in that it's a comfort in a cathartic way? hashtag relatable robots i guess SDFNN. they're my comforts too but in a "they make my heart hurt when i think about them" way. maybe it's being the eldest sibling of 3 irl. maybe its the daddy issues irl. maybe its the fact that i see my childhood self in silver my teenage self in neo and my current self in mecha a little. who knows but they hurt me

it's also funny that people have found it after the whole scrapnik island comic came out because - i had someone come to me like JAUY THE MECHA IN THE NEW COMIC IS SO MUCH LIKE YOURS!!! ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY READ YOUR FIC!!! which is actually so nice because it was like... confirmation that i wasn't being crazy insane with my characterization?? it can be tricky to write a character who doesn't have much characterization in canon in the beginning because there's this worry that people won't like your take on them but turns out its all good :> i just hope people realize i wrote the fic before scrapnik came out because i wouldnt want ppl to assume i copied ASDHNJ IF UR A BUG AND SNAKE AND ULTRAKILLING GUY TOO THEN BIG LOVE TO U.... i am high fiving you x100000 and no ur not weird i love this ask so much, stay swag comrade

#asks #<333 #tysm this brightened my morning x1000

Chapter 170 Expert Review

Garou said he liked a woman. People died.

Not me though lmao y'all take it easy!! I wanted to die earlier this week though because I got a haircut and they fucked my shit up severely but I'll get through it ok. I won't get any bitches but it'll be okay, I just gotta stay strong. (<- typed with tears in my eyes)

My schedule in doing these reviews has gone to shit because a lot of the time I just have absolutely zero opinions on new chapters... or entirely negative ones. And I don't wanna make a post that's just 100% negativity, y'know? Gotta balance it out. Gotta have the vanilla and the chocolate.

With that being said,

fuck the MA arc lmfao so glad that shit is over god bless amen i love you jesus!!!!!!

Nice cover. The perspective bothers me a bit, especially since Genos' feet are exactly the same size when one is below the other but it's FINE, okay. (<- also typed with tears in my eyes) (for legal reasons this is a joke i genuinely like this cover and i think it's swag)

But I'm being dramatic. The MA (Monster Association) arc wasn't all bad. There were little pockets of joy in between the seemingly pointless fighting chapters and that kinda solidified my opinion as this being the most "meh" arc in this manga thus far, and I'll elaborate on that. If you don't wanna read my neckbeard rant on the MA arc, you can go ahead and scroll down to my next bullet point. It's nothing I haven't said already. Just wanna preface it with the fact that these are my opinions and you're entitled to your own feelings. Hell, if you love the MA arc, I'll suck you dry right here right now! Just don't suibait me for disliking it hehe thnx <3

I think the manga is at its best when it's character-centric, as I'm sure that's why so many people love it to begin with. Those little chapters with Badd and King slingshotting themselves to the fight and the tanktoppers and other heroes running out of the hospital were honestly some of my favorites!! Everything else was just... kinda muddled together. A giant fight filled with smaller fights in an arc that takes up over half of the manga's current 170-chapter run yet takes place all in one night. So much happened, but it also feels like nothing happened. And in a way--nothing did, because ONE is allergic to committing to whatever hole he's dug himself into.

ONE purposefully backtracks on character-defining moments like the two fake-out deaths: Tanktop Master and Genos. Aside from it just being cheap, he treats death like a corner to write himself out of instead of an opportunity to shift the narrative and add a major risk factor, to which there was none. It was boring. Borderline infuriating, actually. Why even have so many fights just to show the good guy winning in a slightly different way every time?

It was especially jarring when Saitama time-traveled back and forgot all the shit that happened in the fight with Garou (which took 8 giant chapters, by the way). So why even do all that just for Genos' core and the Ominous Future to MAYBE crop up as a plot device later? Why elongate an already stupidly long arc with something that could've been achieved in a much shorter, simpler way?

There were over 20 redraws. Some of them were just Murata fixing some things he wanted to, which is fine, but then you have things like bringing back the mercenaries, bringing back Do-S, and retconning the Saitama sit-down arc, and it's just... confusing. It's confusing as a reader and I'm sure it was also confusing as a writer because it definitely gives the impression that ONE was in the office throwing darts at a board to see what happens next. It's like... does he even know what's going on? Why are we planting so many seeds for future plot points now, when the current plot is already plenty convoluted (yet, simultaneously lacking substance in favor of pretty pages)? CANT THIS FUCKING WAIT TILL LATER--

Whatever. It's over now. I hope it gets more ironed out in print. I'm just frustrated with this because OPM is supposed to be a satire of the shonen/seinen/whateverthefuck genre, yet ONE keeps allowing it to have the same narrative pitfalls as most others. (Also the same homophobic and racist tropes--can't just do like 80% of the same things as the genre you're claiming to satirize and say you're any different, ATP.)

Murata said he'd be taking a month-long break and good for him. Hope he parties hella hard.

TLDR: I think the MA arc is too long, the pacing sucks, too many fights, not enough substance. also drive knight is still a punk ass. also I think the time travel was stupid and I'm afraid ONE is gonna use it to weasel his way out of more consequences for his characters in the future but anyway,

In my rant about the MA arc, I completely forgot about the actual chapter I'm making this review about. I had to go back and re-read it. Anyways, fuck yeah character interactions! I love when people be talking to each other n shit! fuck yeah! woo! characters! love em! love guys!

this makes 0 sense but this is the most Garou that Garou has looked in years. I mean, over time Murata's art style has changed and that's just groovy, man! But I kinda missed his stupid little evil face. I wanna hit him with my car.

I was waiting and praying and creaming my pants to see him with short hair but that just... never happened. I'm not mad. We got to see him and Silverfang be the most dysfunctional pussy-eating uncle/bitchless nephew combo ever and that's just priceless, but it makes me curious how his whole redemption thing is gonna turn out, if it even happens. Because if this is it then... it's a bit underwhelming. I thought there'd be more introspection and humbling other than Garou just saying "Fuck y'all, I'm suicidal!" in front of everyone before leaping fifty feet into the air, meditating under a waterfall for an undetermined amount of time, and getting bonked over the head with a closed fist (which is illegal everywhere, btw. Silverfang prison arc when? /j)

What I mean is, Garou did a lot! A lot of bad stuff! Lots of bad things! And for that to be mended offscreen is... a weird choice. But I guess this is where Genos' core is gonna crop up later, my man's gonna make the callout post of the century: Garou Whooped My Ass In The Multiverse: Part 1 of 97, which is gonna send Garou spiraling and then he's gonna get humbled the only way he can be humbled! Working minimum wage. Because beating his ass to the point of him wanting to get laid out like carpet in the ruins of City Z just wasn't enough.

I like Garou. He's a cool character. I wanna kiss him on the lips.

I give ONE a lot of shit for his dubious writing decisions but he did well with Garou. That's it. That's all the praise I'm giving him.

This dude really tried to give Bang the ol' "you're not my dad!" Nice try, fuckhead. He's still got legal custody of you until you're 35 because you can't go 10 minutes unsupervised.

lmfao this dude's parents dont love him lmfaoooo what a loser lmfaooooooooooooo

I was right when I said Garou had mommy issues in that one fanfic I wrote over a year ago that I forgot the name of but I was right and everyone needs to know that for some reason or else I'll die

Anyways, it's nice to see Bang be a nice parental figure. I would call him a father figure but that ship sailed 50 years ago. My man is a grandfather figure. My man's an ancient figure. My man's an archaeological-find figure. My man's a 2-years-from-the-urn figure.

This dude beat so many of his own disciples' asses I was worried his first instinct upon finding Garou again would be to whoop him into silly putty, but I'm glad he's approaching it with kindness. This kinda goes in line with why Garou likes the girl he likes (whether it be as a crush or as a role model-esque kinda admiration, I don't fucking know nor do I care) because she's kind. I guess deep down, he knows it must take true strength to be kind in a world full of cruelty.

Also, I love how absolutely emotionally constipated he is to where he doesn't even know how to reply to Silverfang waxing poetic about being a parent. Motherfucker just yanked that shit right out before it sunk in and went "Ha! This is gay." I love you Garou. Never change-- actually, please change. On GOD we gonna get you therapy bro on my MOMMA you are gonna grow as a person !!!

Additional observations:

-Garou is so dorito-shaped here smh where's my slim-thicc king at, huh. Where's my wide hip representation?

-Adding on to what I said about Murata's art style evolving over time, one thing I'm kinda iffy on is how he's been drawing Garou a lot buffer on the top half lately. I also don't really like his shoulder muscles looking like padding lmfao. I mean, that could also be attributed to the extra training he got (and maybe Silverfang is actually feeding him 3 square dog kibble meals a day now since he wanna act a furry) so idk, take me back and shoot me between the eyes if I'm wrong.

-I know Silverfang is hunching over (probably from playing too much League of Legends, smh) but Garou is still so tall!!!

I know this fuckhead's immune system has gotta be benching 480 just from the monster arm he ate that one time, but how he is not worried about some kinda infection crawling up his bare asshole underneath that nasty ass river water just amazes me. Maybe that's why he's always clenching.

Garou: hey, fuck off you old shit! I'll kill you!

Garou: let me in ur house though? and train me? and feed me? pls? pls pls pls?

GUYYSSS HE INTENTIONALLY WENT TO THE WATERFALL BANG SHOWED HIM BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE FOUND EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! He wants to be loved so bad ouuuugghhh he just wants affection ouuugughhhghhghuuhuh

And then he's emotionally constipated about it again because he tells SIlverfang he just wanted to perfect his "fist" which like, sure okay buddy you definitely didn't wanna freeload off air conditioning and dog kibble and perhaps even receive the parental affection you were starved of. okay yeah sure whatever.

"I'm gonna do the same" yeah until your ass gets EXPOSED in a 5-hour youtube documentary Genos is gonna upload to his 3 billion subscribers, you little scrub.

All the kids are friends! They're friends and they're besties and they're so nice to each other and I'm gonna dunk em all in my coffee.

I read "sentai" as hentai at first and almost went into cardiac arrest.

This page is so funny. "So, Garou, you've been normal for two days. you got a bitch yet?"

This whole thing reads as him pulling out some random name just to make Silverfang shut up. I've said this already but someone on Twitter said he brought it up so he can infodump about his favorite show, and that seems really plausible because he soon goes "Lemme tell you some shit about sentai, old man."

Also, the way he says "...or something?" to make it seem like he doesn't know literally everything about his favorite actress in his favorite show like, okay. We know you've got her horoscope and birthday bouncing around in that tiny ass head, you fucker. We know you read all the nerd-equivalents to those Cosmo mags about what kinda people she admires.

I love that he's a nerd, but we already knew that. He absorbed his entire worldview from cartoons and got relentlessly bullied at school--what's nerdier than that? And it's certainly no secret that he's pretty juvenile. Garou's just a lonely little kid in a body too big for his brain.

And the people saying Garou "liking" a girl (which again, it isn't even made clear which way Garou likes her) makes him straight are 1. incorrect (bi, ace, aro, etc people exist) and 2. unaware of the fact that I will draw him kissin boys until that little fucker turns to dust okay. I do not give a shit. Every time someone complains about it, I imagine him kissin a boy 5 more times. Suck my ass.

In conclusion: Kiiro ("...or something?") is actually pretty cute haha mrow. trust me girl, whatever you got lined up aint nothing to me haha i can treat you RIGHT (after my hair grows out)

In conclusion 2.0: Rover is definitely showing up again soon also, which is cool. Good chapter. Love characters! woo! love it! Finally, the evil is defeated (MA arc) woo! yay! yeah! fuck!

Thanks for reading! Tomorrow's my birthday (august 21st)! I'll be 21! You all have to wish me happy birthday or i swear to god ill start crying

#opm #garou #saitama #tareo #genos #silverfang #one punch man #meta #suicide mention

Jimmy is not loosing to wilbur soot in a cringefail competition. Of all things. Let me provide you some reasoning as to why traffic jimmy should win, or at least why you should vote for him.

Also this post is directed at EVERYONE. Not just trafficblr and fandoms adjacent to trafficlr. If you watch mcyts not related to the life series i would hope you would read, for i wish to sway your vote in favor of our sopping wet cat.

THE POINTS (very long btw)

1) He dies first every single game

For those who don't know, the smp that he's from is essentially minecraft hunger games with a twist. And of all people, it's this guy that dies. But not just dies. The twist is that you get three lives. And jimmy is the one who dies first. But. It goes for all three series (thus far). And he dies first every single time.

2. He gets a total of maybe one kill throughout the whole series

He has a comically low kill count in comparison to other players. I think he got maybe one kill in all three games? And that was on someone who killed him five minutes earlier. Said person is also his sister (kinda).

3. He has terrible luck with deaths and lives

Aside from the first point, aka the canary curse, he has awful luck with this stuff in general. In the second series, a twist is that you get more than, less than, or just, 3 lives before the game even starts. Jimmy is one of the most unlucky players in the entire game, as he hets only 2 lives.

In the third series, he had the default three lives, but instead, he shares deaths (and a health bar) with another player. Said player promptly gets blown up in the first 20 minutes. They then go on to die first (as usual).

4. He gets bitches, but not too many bitches

In the first series, pretty much as soon as it begins, he marries Scott Smajor. No, they do not date beforehand. Yes, it is less than 10 minutes into the first episode.

In the second series he is pathicly lonely (L)

In the third, as previously mentioned, the way he meets his mystery soulmate is because the guy kills him before they can meet properly. BUT. The twist here is that they actually have a healthy relationship. That being said, the couple with one of the most toxic relationship wins while these two get out first, but. They are failures after all.

5. Everyone makes fun of him

The first death thing makes him a laughingstock. Everyone makes fun of him all the time. Including his husband, sister (kinda), and brother (also kinda). He is pathetic and everyone knows it.

So yes, vote jimmy solidaritygaming. He is cringe and fail. He is pathetic. He is a wet paper bag of a man and has that loserboy swag. Vote for jimmy below.

#long post #traffic life series #mcytblr cringefail #mcyt cringefail #life series #life smp #traffic smp #jimmy solidarity #solidaritygaming #traffic!jimmy #mcyt #fuck it im maintagging this took so long #vote guys i beg #fox fails writing #fox fails tasks #team rancher fans #flower husbands fans #you know what to do #vote

I have received a vision while catching all the starters in the new Pokemon dlc and so it must be shared. It's time forrrrrr.....

WHICH POKEMON STARTERS EACH OF THE BALDURS GATE 3 CHARACTERS WOULD HAVE

I am basing this off the final evolutions of each starter, for example infernape instead of chimchar

1. Wyll: I believe in my heart of hearts this man would be best fucking friends with an empoleon. Not only would empoleons steal and water typing make it very effective as a shield for the week, especially against demons, but empoleons personality generally is very proud and upstanding. Like Wyll, it is proud but not prideful, not full of arrogance or superiority, but the pride of responsibility and leadership. I feel like they both represent something more than they are.

Also I think both Wyll and Empoleon are extremely cool and swag. Thats just me tho

2. Lae'zel: I think Lae'zel would love a Feraligatr, and not because of any fucking jokes about what githyanki look like! I think she would deeply appreciate the ferocity and power that feraligatr has, with its incredible bite force and powerful legs. there isn't a lot in the pokedex about its personality, but I like to imagine it as a creature with a lot of loyalty, it sticks to those it has grown close to and will fight by their side until the bitter end. I think they would "spar" (read: play fight) often, with Lae'zel trying to give it more formal training, especially since totodile is known for having little control of its incredible jaw strength. I don;t think she would like that uncontrolled strength.

3. Karlach: Karlach is the genesis of this stupid idea. I caught a tepig and thought, 'man, karlach would love an emboar' and I am fucking correct. Karlach obviously needed a fire type, and nothing suits her more perfectly than one of the Fire/Fighting types. Emboar not only fits her personality, but also her fighting stye, with its Black and white 2 pokedex entry saying "A flaring beard of fire is proof that it is fired up. It is adept at using many different moves." literally perfect for 'set my engine on fire and i am a master of killing diffderent varieties of demon' karlach. Not only that, but its original pokemon black entry has the line "It cares deeply about its friends." Emboar is Karlach the pokemon.

4: Gale: This man needs a Delphox in his life fucking immedietly for a multitude of reasons. First of all, psychic types are genrally supposed to be smarter than your average person, so hopefully another companion like tara who would be able to keep with his smart ass. Speaking of his intelligence, we all know, despite this man's vast fucking intellect, he does not have the best foresight, making decisions that seem good in the short term, but not so great long term. Delphox can fix that! According to its X entry, it can literally see the future! let this man know if fucking with strange magic will go well or not. Also, its hidden ability is magician and its basically a witch. All in all, solid companion for Gale/

5. Shadowheart: This one was a bit harder, but if we are talking about early game, still devoted to shar shadowheart, its got to be incineroar because it dont think any other starter matches incin for sheer drama value. Its literally and on fire cat that is also a pro wrestler. Also the secondary dark typing and edginess fits. If we are talking late game, Selunite shadowheart, Meganium. Maganium's whole bit is renewal and healing, giving life where it was previously taken away. The only starter that could be better at healing is primarina and that doesn't fit shadowheart as well as meganium does. I think the whole evolution line fits shadowheart pretty well as well. Starting with Chicorita, a barely sprouting flower, through Bayleef, where you can finally see the beginnings of the vibrant flower that is Meganium. I think that is somewhat mirrored in shadowhearts process of growing into herself throughout the acts, as she finds who she is without shar.

6. Astarion: I think this one was the hardest for me, but I think it has to go to Decidueye. A ghost type archer whose signiture move is about taking control the battlefield by locking their opponents down? seems to fit with Astarion pretty well. The dex entry holds pretty true as well, stating that "Although (Decidueye is) basically cool and cautious, when it’s caught by surprise, it’s seized by panic." I am unsure if Decidueye is the perfect fit for astarion but the only other one I could imagine him with is greninja, but i dont think it fits as well as decidueye.

Anyway! thats the main six. I might do additional ones later. The Shadowheart and Astarion ones are definitely the weakest, but I think they are still pretty good

homestuck rereading post #3: hivebent part 2

(im adding this part when im done with this whole thing but most of my text is referring to the image under it unless stated otherwise. but i think you can tell based on the spacing when that isnt the case)

im beginning to think these titles are too long. anyway LETS FUCKING GOOOO I LOVE TAVROS NITRAM

one thing about him is that he loves fiduspawn. which as we all know is an allegory for pokemon. is allegory the right word? sources say: probably not

:) hes clappingggg

do not answer that message. keep looking at your posters. if you know whats good for you you wont even look at your computer . throw that shit away

whats her deal????

⬆️ okay well that was actually a pretty tame first interaction. she was just like haha tavros im gonna beat you at this game L and tavros was like uhhh i think we shouldnt talk . but you know him. he continued talking to her anyway. like a chump or something

what is her deal!!!!!!!!!!!!! why does the story keep framing kanaya as this bugger/meddler/fusser . she is so cool though and Normal.

tell me why this is so scary . what is this a horror story. relax

/ROLLS EYES

me on the overwatch grind every damn day

karkat wishes he had even an ounce of the swag and rizz nepeta has. you will never be her.

this is kinda funny. but he is lame its true

TAVROS GAHH YOU KILLED YOUR LUSUS. FUCK

foreshadowing.... this is like in dragon ball z when goku and piccolo are fighting raditz and goku is like "well strength isnt the only thing that matters in a fight!" and raditz is like "you are a fucking moron LMAO"

it actually isnt a real thing to say. so

oh man this is so fucked up

man he cannot catch a break right now

this interaction between karkat and vriska is interesting to me cause its karkat being like a really awful person to vriska and i would feel bad but i JUST watched her paralyze tavros while berating him and laughing at him. so its like damn. i dunno how to feel ...

okay well . this is a little bit rude but whatever

this is so awesome . you love to see a girlboss winning

what is she waffling about

i have nothing to say about the equius stuff. anyway check out this particular interaction. ⬇️

⬆️surely no more stabbing in the back between these two.

me when someone tells me vriska has w rizz. idk . this is crazy though

oh Wow

she is fuh reaking out right now . someone please get her some therapy. also all of them? all of them need it

tavros is on that no hate grindset i love to see it

i wonder if i had different color blood if my fans would turn on me. some fans they would be.... i actually have no idea what im talking about right now but i love to ramble on and on about inane bullshit so

handshakes all around to those who made it this far.

WOOOO RESIDENT LESBIAN INTRODUCED. the crowd goes fucking insane

ROSE MENTIONED!!! gosh it feels like its been so long since ive seen her.....i miss those damn kids....

im being forced to end this one here (i hit the image limit) but im coming back with a vengeance soon because we are just getting started with this DAMN SESSION

#joff hs reread #i think im gonna make these super long because otherwise there would be way WAY too many parts

ok heres my album ranking for fact check right now!!

space > parade > je ne sais quoi = misty >>> fact check > real life > angel eyes >>>>>>>>>>>> yacht

space: this and parade are fighting for first place constantly but space is suuuuch a nice song i love the jazzy background and it just has such a nice vibe and the vocals <3

parade: the bass is so sexy and usually i hate this kind of switch into like cool bassy prechorus and happy major chord (?) chorus but this time i think its so fucking sexy. the johnny part is awful though :(

je ne sais quoi: this is so fun i love this type of song. the prechorus is kinda eh but the rest is so good

misty: this one gives me goosebumps. the beginning of this song is fucking insane it sounds like i am in some kind of mysterious forest at night in a video game or smth. would def listen to just the instrumental. its so gorgeous

love is a beauty: LETS GOOOO TAEILLLL this is a very pretty song everyone sounds so nice aaaauuuuughhhhhh

fact check: ok this song is super fun but i both hate parts of it with a passion and love parts of it with a passion so its mixed. not amazing but its jammy and fun so good enough

real life: GOOD MUSIC! just not as swag as the others but its such a sweet sounding song

angel eyes: honestly altho it sounds kinda cheesy i rly like the chorus, not a bad song overall imo. its fun <3

yacht: um not horrible but i do not love this song its meh to me. will probably never listen to it on purpose

#lu.txt #heeheeeheeeheeeee #OVERALL I LIKE ALMOST EVERY SONG THATS SO SWAGGGGGGG #nobody care but i love ranking thingsssss

Saigoku,,,

Im assuming you meant both of them so !!

SHUICHI:

favorite thing about them: I really like how calm and sweet Shuichi is. He's my favourite of all 3 main protags for this reason, he has an air of calm introvertedness that Makoto and Hajime don't, which I find really relatable and endearing. least favorite thing about them: Every protag does it, but the little somewhat rude quips he can have about the other students in his head. Be nice to them!! Youre just as weird of a guy as they are favorite line: My freaking BLOG HEADER!!!! "We stand with one foot in fiction, and one foot in reality…" This struck such a strong chord in me when I played the ending of v3. Just thinking about this line makes my heart flutter.

brOTP: Shuichi and Rantaro should've had more time to hang out together. I think they would've really gotten along

OTP: OH MAN... It has to be saimota!!! Close contenders are saigoku and saimatsu! (holding myself back from naming 5 more ships)

nOTP: None that immediately come to mind??

random headcanon: Shuichi is trans, ace, and biromantic! He's one of the few V3 characters I have very specific queer headcanons about

unpopular opinion: Shuichi doesn't listen to punk rock or MCR or anything like that. He's not that kind of emo. To me, Shuichi is a VOCALOID emo!! Specifically early 2010s vocaloid emo. He's been listening to Rolling Girl, Lost One's Weeping, and Tokyo Teddy Bear on Repeat since he got trapped in the killing game

song i associate with them: (hilariously not vocaloid or emo) What's Wrong by Half•Alive

favorite picture of them: Probably any of the training ones!! Transmasc swag

GONTA:

favorite thing about them: His earnestness!! I love the way Gonta is genuine whenever he speaks, be it about the things he loves or feels passionate about or the things that upset him. least favorite thing about them: The whole... reptites..... backstory thing. In general I'm not the biggest fan of a decent amount of his FTEs. Thankfully if I don't look at it it can't see me. Gonta was raised by wolves <3 favorite line: Gonta has some great ones but two that are standing out to me right now that Occasionally get stuck in my head are "Smile like Gonta! :D" from the bonus event with Himiko or "You make mistakes a lot... A WHOLE lot..." From a backroute towards Miu ghdsjkfsd.

brOTP: GONTA AND RANTARO OH MY GOD!!! I think they would get along so well!! Back in ch1, during big group discussions, its usually Rantaro responding when Gonta speaks to begin with. I think Rantaro would love to help Gonta look/talk about bugs and Gonta's energy would be really refreshing to him.

OTP: GOKUMOTA. On a surface level they are both athletic with science talents, who are loud and passionate about what they love, but on a deeper level I think they could really help each other and be a shoulder for the other to lean on. Gonta is extremely self deprecating, and if he got close to him there's no way Kaito would let that stand. Gonta is also very expressive, so I think he could help Kaito learn that its okay to not be okay, and to express that to the ones who care about him.

(I also like saigoku!!)

nOTP: I already talked about not liking Kokichi and Gonta, Im also not really into Romantic Miu and Gonta or romantic Kiyo and Gonta, though thats to a lesser extent. Im pretty picky about Gonta ships

random headcanon: This is one I go back and forth on, but I do have the headcanon that Gonta Might have a little sister. Her name is Tsugiko and she was either extremely young or hadn't been born when he got lost.

unpopular opinion: Not really an unpopular opinion, just something random I guess? Lots of people draw Gonta with blue butterflies, which look very pretty, but I never understood why it was always the same type of blue butterfly. I think Orange matches his colour scheme a bit better, so I'm wondering if there's any symbolism I'm missing here

song i associate with them: The Room is Filled with People Who Love You by Foresight

favorite picture of them: Probably the bonus event with Himiko and Shuichi!! That one's very very cute

ehmmmmm. papyrus undertale for character ask game?

you didn’t specify a question. so i’m answering all 30 of them >:D nyeheheheh!!

first impression: super silly skeleton! love him!

when i started to like him: it’s hard to remember but probably from the very beginning. specifically? umm probably the lamp scene haha he’s so <3

song that reminds me of him: this is such a copout answer i know but i always think of papyrus makes a mixtape. such a formative song to my childhood

how many people i ship him with: 0! i hc him as aro!

my fav ship: again probably none… i’m not a huge fan but i feel like the most ok in my book is papyton

least fav ship: literally anything else all of his friends are either children or his brother or a lesbian

a quote i remember: if you see a shop, you should stop… drop, and roll… into some great deals!! because we’re having a fire sale!! at my imaginary store, which sells flames.

fav outfit: AHHH i love the battle body for the comfort fit swag but. my heart belongs to the cool dude fit <3

least fav outfit: NEITHER they both fit him so well!!!

describe him in one sentence: he’s funny and silly BUT i swear he’s so much more mysterious than people realize!

first thing i think of when i think of him: the papyrus knight theory, and how excited i am for him to be in deltarune >:3

sexuality hc: mm i think gay aro

fav friendship: FLOWEY!!!!! they are besties ok i’m so glad more people are realizing this

best storyline: ahhh hmm. again i think his friendship with flowey! they’re characters that are perfect for each other and their dynamic has a lot of crazy implications. without the post-canon content and some of the harder to find dialog it’s easy to assume flowey’s messing with him but they really are friends!

worst storyline: i’ll be honest the date 💔 i do like it from the perspective of an aro guy forcing attraction but i still prefer the hangout way more for. obvious reasons

childhood hc: i think he’ll be a child/teen deltarune! and i think he was a lonely (bonely) kid, which is why he wants to be popular so much

what i think his first word was: sans :]

what i think he was like as a child: i already kinda answered this but also. i’m an otherworld sans truther and i really have no idea what ut papyrus’s deal is. if the skeletons just showed up one day i really don’t know what that means for papyrus

most random ship i’ve seen: well other than the obvious. i would say papyton is pretty random since they’ve never met? but he does canonically have a celebrity crush on mettaton so i guess i get it haha

weird hc: cat person (or at least says he is) because of the annoying dog lol

when he was at his happiest: obviously post pacifist when he can feel the sun on his skin and wind in his hair 🩵

when he was at his lowest: tbh before meeting frisk he was really lonely. in deltarune it’s probably worse since he doesn’t have undyne or. any other friends

future hc: i love the hc that he designs escape rooms on the surface!!!!! i think he (and a lot of other monsters) start taking anthropology classes

a secret he’s never told anyone: he actually loves the annoying dog 🩵

when he acted most ooc: ohh i don’t know. hrm. i don’t think there is one off the top of my head!

when he was himself the most: before and after saving him in the asriel fight! copout answer for all the characters but i stand by it!

most fun character for him to meet: ohhh i have to think about this. maybe tome of mob psycho fame. monster obsessed with humans + human obsessed with the occult would be the perfect autism duo

most unnecessary thing he did: when he turned the puzzle into his face and couldn’t figure out the solution. when he summoned a billion bones for his attack and let you fly right over them. when he kept asking about your outfit and kept giving the wrong answers to undyne. when he jumped out undyne’s window. he’s so <3

how would he be as a parent: carlyraejepsans has a great post about this but i think he’d be the fun uncle who loves kids!! also all the monsters are communally raising frisk anyway <3

funniest scene: OH THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE. umm i love the lamp scene, when he first sees frisk, the mettaton tile maze, umm a lot of his phonecalls especially the fire one, and the winter newsletter. he’s just so!

#undertale #papyrus #dialogue #THANK YOU for asking the perfect infodump question this was so fun. ily

69 for stras and aeon :-)

man. thisll be a long one. Stras first cause itll be a little shorter

aelwyd cannot be trusted. she's self serving and will sell out anyone if it gives her any sort of edge, no matter how small. he's pretty sure she can be trusted to hate bela but he does not trust her with literally anything else. everytime he's given her a chance to prove herself trustworthy she's immediately betrayed it

blank is so fucking naive and so easily manipulated its embarrassing. theyll listen to literally anything anyone says and that makes them so easy to use as a tool for ulterior purposes, and as such, cannot be trusted. also theyre obviously getting used like a goddamn puppet by probably vecna. whatevers going on, theyre not in total control, and as such is even MORE of a threat

chini is a threat fullstop. bela's in her fuckign BRAIN. absolutely cannot be trusted. he'll try to help kairii break her out of it but. man. whatever happens happens. if that means working with her, if that means getting rid of her. stras knows things will most likely break bad

kairii is... interesting. stras did not really think much of them except as a good fighter, but now that he's getting to know them, hes realizng theyre WAY more similar than he thought, and is kind of vibing?? they both know what theyre about. stras is beginning to think. there might be someone here who actually understands him

ira is. as she's always been. a nice, comfortable enigma. she's nice and helpful and he has no fucking clue what's up with her. he doesn't know where she will fall when the chips are down, but knows she helped him get the truth from that shadow thing in the last battle. he's hoping they can reach a consensus but. she's a mystery to him

Aeon time.

Thyme is... odd. theres really no other way to put it. aeon just categorically does not understand thyme at all. they dont understand thyme's priorities, thyme's motivations, why thyme cares so much about making things fancy, about being the one to win people over... thyme is. weird. theyre also not helpful with literally anything

sylvas!!!! bugboy. uhm. whats happening with you <3. aeon is confused by sylvas but in a different way than thyme because aeon does not know or understand what academics are and why sylvas cares about it. aeon wants to be supportive but is. confused. and also maybe theyre a teeny tiny bit a little jealous that they can get along with uo so well when aeon feels like they barely know how to interact with uo on a good day despite caring about them so much. the social anxiety swag

ymira is fun! she's really interesting and cool to talk and hang out with and is a nice cook. but also. aeon doesnt really. know how to talk to her. they feel like everytime theyve tried, its petered out and theyve just. completely failed to talk to her. plus when aeon asked her advice and she couldnt help at all they just. felt so dissappointed and they dont want to blame ymira for that. its not her fault. but there's a bit of bitterness that the one person he thought would understand. didnt

aine is some kind of creature of some sort. another one that aeon. doesnt really know how to interact with. but also aeon feels some solace in that. aine the most feels like someone aeon could sit in a room in silence with for hours and not feel like the silence is awkward or uncomfortable. which aeon just. really appreciates? aeon sort of likes not knowing much about aine because it means he can maintain this sort of. communal silence without worrying about personal shit interrupting

uo is aeon's first friend, and as i alluded earlier, aeon has no idea how to interact with them and feels very very embarrassed by it. they should know! they were in a similar environment, they have similar builds and fighting styles, theyve got similar interests... but aeon just. does not know how to talk to uo and it feels like uo says things that are important and necessary but aeon doesnt understand them at all. so. aeon feels. awkward. they care about uo a lot and appreciate them greatly. but it sucks not knowing how to talk to them. also there's some lingering issues with getting such a stark reminder of Woods Time but he's. mostly over it

echo goldaline. man. what a card. aeon has such a myriad of feelings about echo that he has no fucking clue what to do about. theyve been trying to like. sort and dissect their thoughts but everything keeps happening always and forever. so they never get a chance to just. think. and put their feelings into words. so its just a mess of confusion and bitterness and affection that cannot build into something concrete. they think theyre friends with echo. they dont want anything else. but beyond that. they dont know

#aeon #stras

My Top Posts in 2022:

alright all the irl people who know anything about this actually LIKE the man so this is the only place i can say it, but

harry styles gets on my nerves. the REASON he gets on my nerves is that he gives off the vibe of like—he’s like the human embodiment of being gay but not queer. i don’t think he’s even gay (he may be, he may not, i don’t even really care) but that’s what it feels like to me. it’s like the essence of the thing people are upset about, with pride being commercialized and becoming hollow and meaningless.

oh! i know. seeing harry styles speak (or sing. or apparently do some fashion icon thing) and people get excited about it, is like watching other queer gay people go up to the amazon booth at the pride festival excited for free swag and thinking its cool that amazon is here. that’s what its like.

“Because the unavoidable truth here is that the system is already rigged. And its rigged in a way that has allowed a party without popular support to drastically reshape an entire branch of government for the foreseeable future by appealing almost exclusively to white voters in some of the least populous regions in the country. That is not a mandate, and its not democracy. It’s a fucking travesty!

“We are at the end of a generational battle, and the heartbreaking thing is, we lost.

“And that hurts. It’s going to hurt for a long time, for a lot of people, in ways that could take a while to fully comprehend. But the next battle has to start right now; and it will be long—we didn’t get here overnight, and we won’t get out of here overnight. But we must be willing to fight tirelessly and with every tool and tactic at our disposal.”

As always, John Oliver says it better than I ever could. This is his episode from just after Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, which was the point of no return on the path to overturning Roe v. Wade. We were always going to end up here, but got does the knife still hurt slipping into your gut, even if you saw it coming.

to be honest i feel like both AOS canon and aos fandom don’t treat the vulcan genocide in the first movie with enough gravity. like. 80-90% of the time people don’t even call it what it is, let alone focus on what the effects would be on the remaining vulcans. we actually spend way more time talking about tarsus iv as a fandom than nero’s destruction of vulcan. and the more I write for AOS the more that wigs me out a bit.

the WHOLE PLANET is GONE. SIX BILLION PEOPLE were MURDERED in a matter of HOURS. it’s mass death on the largest scale in what I assume is recorded federation history. we could uh. dwell on that. a bit more. there’s probably something there worth talking about.

next steps re: lizzy biting the big one

starting with india, kenya, pakistan, grenada, or cyprus, countries begin to leave the commonwealth

liz truss tries to do some diplomacy about it and it doesn’t work

charles the third of his name or what the fuck ever tries to do some diplomacy about it, says something BREATHTAKINGLY RACIST and actively makes it worse. countries start leaving even faster.

australia peaces out

scotland announces a new independence vote before the end of the year

wales, not to be outdone, announces an independence vote before the end of the MONTH

canada peaces out

someone starts a conspiracy theory on tiktok that liz truss had the queen poisoned just after their official meeting

Ireland announces the affirmative results of the reunification vote it held while you motherfuckers were distracted via the Sinn Féin twitter. britain pulls a spain circa 2017 and tries to prevent it

king charles III dies of a heart attack from stress, smh guys he just wanted to live out the remainder of his life in peace while directly profiting from the imperial and colonial violence of his mother ancestors, he wasn’t expecting to actually have to WORK for it

king arthur returns, sword in hand, to reclaim his rightful place as king. the tories, desperate at this point for some kind of miracle, let him do it.

his first act as king is to demand the abolition of the british monarchy, because “strange women lying in ponds and distributing swords is no basis for a system of government”

someone calls a vote of no confidence in liz truss. she fails it (in large part due to the conspiracy theory), they hold an election

Christopher eccleston becomes the prime minister

diagnose me ^_^

OKAY WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CROWDSOURCE THIS A BIT bc truth be told uhmmmmm. I am not very good with charts that aren't my own </3

Working backwards we have the same Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, which ARE all signs that mostly represent generations rather than you as an individual! Gonna add a shitty screenshot to this response with what mine says (ignore anything to do w houses) once I finish typing the rest of this up <3

your Sun sign is your fundamentals, so basically who you are at the core of yourself. Yours is Cancer which tracks so hard and also means our bdays are super close together (I think we're born the same yr in which case u are only a lil older than me ^_^). Cancers are water and cardinal signs; water signs are deeply led by their emotions, and cardinal signs are signs of leadership and new beginnings. This is basically the epitome of you having friendly boy swag, and you're pretty passionate albeit sensitive. Again keep in mind these r generalizations of the sign

Your moon is the sign when u are most deeply comfortable, or just how you view yourself when u are alone etc. Geminis are air signs and mutable, which means they are generalized to be the most indecisive or unpredictable sign. Mostly this just means that you are consistently led by a duality of light heartedness and good humor, and a layer of seriousness. Which is true of everyone but is heighted for Geminis. Would have to guess that one of these sides gets more presented when u interact w people (whichever aligns closest to your Cancer or Ascendent, which u didn't include in the pic bc it geets put in the other column for some reason idk why) and the other is a more internalized thing. This again ties into how much you value ppl too; Geminis aren't super keen on being alone in a broad sense, so this with your Cancer makes me think that you like people as a whole but tend to latch onto specific people to which you are extremely loyal to.

Speed time: Mercury is how you communicate, which is Gemini, I'm not sure 100% how to relate that but again co star is a good place to find descriptions thats what Im tryna go off of here HAHA. Venus is love in cancer, again w the feelings you find love through your emotions most principally and there is a level of vulnerability when you approach people you are interested in rather than obscuring it from them. Mars is aggression, yours is Leo, going to assume that you assert yourself confidently and a little dramatically only when necessary. Jupiter is idealism, optimism, and expansion, which in Capricorn I'm guessing means that the way that you change and grow happens in a more practical and grounded way, again not sure. Saturn is responsibility and such, which with a Virgo I assume means that you can be a bit overanalytical in that sense but you take that stuff super seriously. Again this is MOSTLY just guessing which is how all this works n stuff I hope this is semi helpful!!! Heres the rest of the signs

#not super famiar w the others so ignoring them srry #long post

Recap of Stage 16 in Foix

Lourdes > Foix and back again

Our first day in Lourdes was spent on the previously mentioned "petit train," learning the layout of the city, eating gelato, and collecting a few necessities from various shops in town. I needed another pair of shorts due to the heat and Cat needed some better socks to help with her nasty blisters she kept shoving my face because she never wore the right shoes compliment her wardrobe.

Cat had been asking how I thought I would be referred to by everyone one on our trip in the weeks leading up to our departure.

"Do you think they'll call you "Mar-teen," she said with her best French accent (or maybe she was going for Spanish).

"I think they'll just call me Garrett."

Our tour guide, Jacinta, worked very hard to memorize our names before the tour began. Jacinta was very disheartened when Cat refuted the checking in of "Martin" Lively (said in an English accent), and insisted I be called "Garrett." I suddenly became "Martin who now goes by Garrett" as if I were some disciple of Prince.

We began connecting to with a few of our peers. Chris and Susan are a engineer and therapist respectively. Chris had been attempting to learn French before the trip just like me. Also just like me, he quickly gave up upon arriving in France and experiencing the relentless pace at which the locals speak to you before just deciding to speak English. We had dinner in the hotel with Kevin and Rebecca, a lovely couple who are certainly Cat's favorites because: 1. Rebecca and Cat are what we in the biz call Type A, II. they had great recommendations for traveling abroad and C. you can certainly see the complementary roles the two play in each other's day to day life (which Cat and I like to think we exhibit as well). Kevin and Rebecca liked us because we were given two bottles of wine to share. Cat had 3 oz.

After the warm afternoon and evening in Lourdes, we were instructed to meet in the hotel lobby at 7:45 am to begin our 2.5 hour ride to the stage 16 finish line. The French countryside was very beautiful to drive through. It was the first of many times Cat would fall asleep on the tour bus (will post photos if she lets me). We mainly stayed in the valleys of the Pyrenees, before coming to the medieval castle town of Foix. Our charter bus has to navigate the last 10 or so km of the day's course, including the fun turn into the finish (pictured below).

It was (and has remained to be, so far) surprisingly hard to find cafes serving breakfast or even coffee. We browsed chalkboard menu after chalkboard menu before a server waiting near one lured us inside with air conditioning. Cat had a cheese omelet. I had the plate du jour, which turned out to be a pan fried steak.

We walked around the medieval circuit recommended on our map before deciding against climbing the stairs of Castle Foix. We retreated to the race area instead. For this stage we were guests in the "Izoard," a moving VIP area setup near the finish of each stage. For this stage, we were about 800 meters from the finish.

The Izoard was home to an open bar, several food making demonstrations showcasing local food, hors d'oeuvres, televisions to watch the race, and a private viewing area up against the street that the racers would be coming down. Even the oppressive heat couldn't dampen the excitement as we awaited the cyclists.

The hours passed pretty quickly. A caravan of cars and floats precedes the riders by about 2 hours. The caravan drives the entire route and throws swag like polka dot shirts, green hats, candy, and laundry detergent to fans lining the route from start to finish. (Cat’s note - It’s sorta like Mardi Gras in that most of the stuff you get is garbage.) Fortunately for us, we really needed some detergent to wash a few outfits to make it to the end of the week.

When the cyclists finally come by... Well, you better hope you're paying attention. They fly by. It is such a rush to watch them come through with a procession of team, official, and press vehicles. Stage 16 was won by a Canadian cyclist, in the breakaway, and there were no real shake-ups in the overall competitions. But it was a spectacle to behold.

We quickly left the Izoard to trek back to our bus before the caravan could leave. Even still, we didn't get back to Lourdes until 9:30. Fortunately, we had a later start and a shorter drive awaiting us the next day. We had a lovely dinner with Bill, a retired senator and the only member of our group who had also attended the previous legs with our tour company, and Denise, a huge cycling fan and fellow podcast lover who threw on her Mellow Johnny t-shirt knowing we were from Austin.
