Water is bad bc in timeline 1, the day they would've found out that Will was at the least gone would've been the day they found El, meaning it would've rained that night.

[andhumanslovedstories]

Hi there, do you exist in the world and have a lot of time on your hands, but also can’t stand the sound of your own thoughts? May I recommend Drawfee, a youtube comedy drawing show which has been the background sound of my life for about two years now. I realize my pitch that hey, it’s better than literal silence, may not sound super compelling so I’ll elaborate: it is a funny and extremely chill show with people who like each other talking while they do art. Fantastic. Exquisite. Feel like a silent fifth party eavesdropping on some people having fun.

Anyway if like me you are constantly looking for online content that gently releases sweet good vibe chemicals in your brain, here’s a shitload of episodes I like. They’re all about 20-40 mins long. Stars next to the ones I particularly like, but I feel like that’s gonna tell you more about me than about drawfee.

*Artists Draw Themselves Into Their Favorite Anime (Speed draw where everyone’s art is very good but frankly we all get distracted because we have to talk about Julia’s wild flex)

Scooby-Doo Drawing Challenge (ft. Simone from Polygon) (you know, scooby doo! like from that episode of supernatural. Simone is great and Nathan could not be more delighted by the art.)

Professional Artists Redraw Their Old Art (Speed draw ft the phrase “Mid-2000s hetero nonsense”)

Impossible Coloring Challenge (art but make it bullying)

Artists Draw Urban Fantasy D&D Characters (ft. Brennan Lee Mulligan) (an Unsleeping City themed episode. A powerful bard is made this day.)

*Artists Draw Their Fursonas (speed draw. This episode made me want a fursona so goddamn bad)

Turning Animals Into Original Characters Challenge (just an extremely chill hangout episode)

*Drawing Dungeons & Dragons Cats (an entire episode that’s about the tv show Columbo)

Drawing Backgrounds For Video Calls (another chill hangout video that features my husband Kaiba)

Professional Artists Redraw Their Childhood Art (Speed draw. Full Moonpaw comic reboot and relaunch when)

Drawing Thomas the Tank Engine Original Characters (body horror. car body horror.)

The Hottest New Board Game (ft. McElroy Brothers) (the first episode I saw! Monster factory energy except the character creator is just two other people drawing)

*Artists Draw Gigantamax Pokémon From Memory (look, the way Julia says “laser eyyyyyyyes” in the beginning is all I’m thinking about 24/7.)

Artists Draw Kaiba in Different Styles (when I was younger I used to walk around and listen to “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “In The End” on repeat because those were my Kaiba songs. I also had an elaborate plot line where he was begging crushed under a boulder and no one could get him out so he was just endlessly suffering. I was 11 and I knew what I wanted my favorite characters to experience. Anyway, speed draw episode.)

Artists Draw MORE Disney Characters As Dark Souls Bosses (boy I wish I could say I’m recommending this for a reason that isn’t “in depth exploration of Gaston/lefou oviposition” but I’m not here to lie to you)

Knock-Off Pokémon Based On Food (look anytime they talk like Joey Wheeler, it’s a good episode.)

Dungeons & Dragons & DRAWING | Drawga Episode 1 (ayyyyyyy plot! Come get ya plot over here! If you want drawings with story. Or if you like Naddpod and you’re like “I want that but only with Caldwell and also Tonathan Tinkle, and also I want to see faces as they talk.” Ten episodes in total. Elyse Willems and Rekha Shenkar are the funniest guests alive.)

Drawtectives: Episode 1 (ayyyyyyyy plot! Come get ya plot part 2 murder mystery edition!! But also friendship? And half orc feet pics? Eleven episodes.)

#drawfee #my gift to people who are looking for something with a big backlog and zero brain cells #much artistic talent! a lot of thought put in! and yet the vibe of zero brain cells

[izzielizzie]

as requested, oouil trailer breakdown (it’s long sorry)

1: first of all, there’s that:

based on the overalls Bronwyn is wearing, I’m going to guess that this is the scene where Nate drives Bronwyn home after Simon dies. Also: there’s a beach and a highway which probably means that A) the Rojas live in a very wealthy and very far away area of town and B) there’s going to possibly be more beach scenes, which means the Jake, Addy, TJ beach scene in particular. And also Nate has two helmets? Who’s he driving around? Or does the show just want to practice good motorcycle habits in which case good for them.

2: next is Simon and Janae:

This specific quote, her bubbly attitude, and the face Simon makes right after she says it leads me to believe that at this point Janae is either totally on board with what Simon’s about to do, or she doesn’t know. Because book Janae hated Simon’s plan from day one. 

and then, of course, there are the shots of the Bayview Four before all the shit that goes down, which probably means that there will be a montage or some sort of their lives beforehand. 

3: also here:

Bronwyn’s crying, but she’s wearing the same shirt as she was at the lunch table which means that either she’s reading a post about herself before detention, or she’s just gotten the call about Simon. The background looks like a school, so maybe she’s looking at her real phone after Simon’s taken away because the fake one was what caused this mess?

4:

again, Addy’s looking at her phone, but wearing something different. This is probably after the big post about the Bayview Four, especially since she’s walking alone and not with Jake. 

5: look how confused Cooper is:

all the other scenes of the B4 show them looking guilty, but here Coop looks like he has no clue what Simon’s talking about. Because he doesn’t, this is about him doing steroids instead. 

6:

you tell him queen. also Bronwyn’s shoulder is next to Addy which means that this conversation happens after the teacher leaves to make sure no one was hurt during the fender-bender. 

7: notice how Simon pouring the water isn’t actually shown:

none of the narrators watched him pour the water either. It’s not very big but it’s clever

8: he’s reaching out to Nate:

looks like Coop was right, he did regret it in the end

9: this is a good callback to Nate calling Addy useless in the books:

I can’t wait to see their friendship grow

10: Bronwyn’s coming back home at night, which only happens once in the book

probably a meeting of the B4? Or she was with Nate? She’s obviously not hiding something from her family though because she’s not being very conspicuous. Although that hoodie is the same from the football game, so maybe that’s where she’s coming back from?

11:

this is the Natewyn stairwell scene right? where he gives her a burner phone? He’s looking up at someone, so I assume it’s Bronwyn on the stairs.

12:

this scene was interesting because Cooper never outwardly accused anyone... but he’s suggesting it with Bronwyn. Also he’s wearing black and she’s wearing black so... funeral? 

13:

this is probably Simon’s room? Not sure why they’d be in there but also it seems like it’s an early episode because they’re all accusing each other. And Addy says she knows everyone but Bronwyn, which probably means that the show might be going on a Bronwyn and Nate vs Cooper and Addy path until they work together. 

14: okay so Cooper just goes to abandoned parks now?

maybe to meet someone? Maybe Kris? But Kris has an apartment. 

15: the next few scenes are confusing. Addy’s taking,,, a pill. Idk what pill because she never did drugs. And Nate’s standing over a person. Maybe his dad? He’s very frantic so I think it is his dad

16: kind of unrelated but is that the funeral house or the Rojas’ house?

17: Oh wow there’s really some animosity between Cooper and Bronwyn huh? “Why should we trust you”? Cooper never really had an opinion on Bronwyn. Also, they never explicitly said they needed to work together this early on, I’m intrigued if they’ll follow through. 

18: they’re making Detective Wheeler a real enemy here and you know what? They should she outed Cooper

19: 

Also this is the cardigan Bronwyn wears when she tells Maeve that telling the truth won’t help anything, so I’m interested to see what causes Maeve to say that. And look at Nate looking at Bronwyn 🥺

20: again with the trunk scene what does Bronwyn keep in her car???

21: So Nate’s leaving that’s interesting. Either he’s packing his stuff when arrested but there would be more officers if that happened, or he’s running away? Not sure

22: Janae? And Maeve? In the same scene? That’s gonna be fun.

also if Maeve doesn’t yell at Janae about how awful Simon was then what’s the point? But also why does Maeve look so sad? I get that death is sad but she hated him. 

23: look it’s an Evan sighting. Yuck

24: Look it’s Jake dressed up for what I have to assume is their homecoming

25:

is that Addy’s mom, Nate’s mom, or Simon’s mom? Judging by how broken she looks it’s either Simon’s mom or Nate’s mom.

26: Vanessa and TJ at a party together suggests that this is pre Addy drama, but also she looks really cocky.

27: I get why someone would assume this is prom, but also prom happens at the end of the year, it’s more likely this is homecoming.

Also Keely looks like... a lot. 

28: What’s up with that safe?

29: Cooper’s chasing somebody that’s cool

30: 

judging by the high heels I’m assuming Addy is spying on her old friend group?

31: Okay detective Wheeler is spying on Nate now? And also those people looked unfamiliar so the fight probably is a drug transaction gone wrong, which is why Det. Wheeler looks so pleased. 

32: also mask? What? Is that Vanessa or Addy?

33: Nate, at a pool? Talking to a girl with dark hair? Vanessa and TJ at a pool? Is this a flashback type scene where Nate hooks up with Keely? Because in the teaser when Nate was kissing another girl he was wearing the same thing. 

34: 

okay so look at Addy’s face. She’s upset. Cooper is confused. Everyone’s looking at them. So I’m assuming that this is another post with the stuff about the Bayview Four, but it’s before Cooper was outed because you can just tell that he has no idea what’s going on. 

honorable mention to Bronwyn untying that bow-tie btw

S5 Ep 15 Pt 1: The Gang Gets Lost in India

Ah, back to Yugioh classic. Sort of. We’re going into the second filler arc before Bakura, which I have been told is kind of nonsense. And youknow what, from the first scene--this is the first scene by the way--yeah I can see the nonsense.

We got Yami cosplaying as the Chrysler building, we got Yugi saying WTFWTF, we got...this thing?

This thing tells us “Join my game, Yugi!” and then the demon just kinda bounces.

K, bye, I guess.

(read more under the cut)

Waking up from this nightmare, Yugi reveals that he has outgrown his good pajamas. Or maybe he just overused them like I did to my favorite pajamas during quarantine (which, not gonna lie, I hand sewed my favorite pajama pants back together 2 or 3 times like they were the Velveteen Rabbit. Quarantine pajamas and me were like best buds for a year there.)

RIP Yugi’s good pajamas.

It’s fine. I’m fine.

I can get used to Yugi in his normal ass old man pajamas without any cute stars on them. I can accept this. He’s getting older. So much older that for a second I thought he was learning Hebrew, by the looks of his books on his counter. I thought...wow, is Yugi actually attempting to learn a language spoken around the time of ancient Egyptians???

But uh...I went a searching and unfortunately that’s not Hebrew, and if that is a language, I don’t know what it is. Pretty sure it’s just random marks because this show has to be translated in so many languages. Man. For a second there that looked like really sneaky world building, but nah, Yugi is still kind of a dumbass who has yet to attend a solid year of school.

Also, I got to take in this mustard yellow as if I’ve seen it for the first time.

It has strong building blocks energy. It’s...so much yellow and it’s extremely the vibe of that one set of animal crossing decorations that I have because it’s a very common recipe, but, can’t figure out for the life of me how to fit into any room.

What am I supposed to do with these, Nintendo? Other than recreate Yugi’s Muto’s haunted game store/house?

Like I live in the Bay area and we have wild painted houses so you can see them through the fog (back when we...still had fog, RIP California) --but this is a little much. This is such strong Protagonist energy but as a house.

Also, I’ve don’t think I’ve brought this up before, but like...Yugi is loaded, right? Like he’s way too good and humble to ever say he’s loaded, and they sort of make it seem like he’s not (when compared to Seto Kaiba) but damn, this location of his real estate sure is something. That and Grandpa’s tiny shop seems to run on a constant deficit and his family just doesn’t care.

We flash back a bit to Gramps sneaking out, and Yugi is like “oh great, my only Father figure I ever talk about is getting a backpack together and just...leaving without any notice, huh? Without telling me you were going to go? Didn’t think that would maybe be a little off putting?“ and Gramps is like “Yes?”

Like Gramps nearly died going to an amusement park a few episodes back so I can see why Yugi is a little bit concerned.

Down the street at a little town lottery, Joey is getting further into gambling (I don’t know what those little street lotteries are called, it’s in a lot of anime--but kinda looks like mom lotteries for moms.)

I’m not sure why India is on Joey Wheeler’s bucket list, seems a little random, but he went to Pegasus’ country, after all and that’s barely even a country.

Joey going nuts on a lottery machine instead of going to school was pretty peak filler, so I’m not really minding this stuff so far.

And then, just to spook me, check this out:

I can’t believe they even let them back into a classroom. In my nerd school, if you missed one too many days, you were sent to the bad schools to be someone else’s problem. But in Yugi’s case...that either IS his school or...Yugi is failing International School, which is just a thing he’s allowed to do, because, as I said before, this kid has got to be loaded. Even Seto Kaiba was like “I’m not spending money on this school anymore. That outfit is like 50 bucks a jacket.”

Youknow, I have seen all the other characters knock on Tea’s choice of cute ass monsters for the last 5 seasons, and she has never once changed them out. She is holding onto this scary seraphim thing with the many wings like every child with their first Pidgey. She does not care.

Also how is this thing cute?

like the front of this orb has a face with hearts on it but like...it is kind of remarkable what Yugioh decides is cute. Magma golem: not cute. this thing? This thing that looks like it’s a chibi version of the last chapters of the bible and will sound the trumpets of the second coming? So cuuuuute.

Tristan used to be the Janitor/hall monitor/square archetype. Like hell he can walk around with that 00′s R+B soundtrack.

Joey appears in order to get us the hell out of school, and the art team retires this school background for the rest of what I assume is this entire series.

Goodbye school. Maybe you’ll come back with Bakura. Which would be weird, since rumor is that arc takes place in ancient Egypt.

On their walk home, Tea lets out in an inner monologue that no one could hear that after 5 straight seasons of his BS, she’s sick and tired of Pharaoh being the center of attention all the time and she needs a freakin break.

TBH, as she was thinking in her head like “Pharoah is just so freakin much” Yugi switched over to Pharaoh and was like “WHATS UP TEA, THINKING ABOUT ME??” and I thought for a split second maybe he read her mind with his Pharaoh powers.

And like...maybe he did? Seems like a thing he can just do but chooses not to tell anyone about. I mean would you tell anyone? I wouldn’t.

So, unlike Miho in Season Zero, who at least had the decency to try to take her Mother to Australia, Joey Wheeler has wisely decided that the 3 other ticket holders will not be the 3 other members of his immediate family. That would have been the most awkward trip between Serenity, his mother he hasn’t really spoken to in 7 years, and his absent father who was written out of the series for being a raging alcoholic. They would have not even made it to the plane.

Instead he’s gonna take the ghost in Yugi’s head and call that an adult (two tickets in one, really). It’s honestly not that bad of a plan, since his only other father figure, Grandpa, is MIA, and his only other, other father figure, Roland, charges like 300 dollars an hour and wants stock options and health insurance.

And honestly they should have taken Roland because he’s one of their best plane guys.

So they take the smallest little Amelia Earheart plane in the world, going from Japan to (checks map) India...which 2 times the distance this plane can go and it crashes...which is exactly what would happen if you took a teeny tiny plane over the Himalayan mountains without refueling that thing.

We call this a magical incident later in the episode, but this is just basic math.

So, fun fact, (and probably why I discuss planes so often on this blog) two of my Grandfathers were pilots (well, three, since my grandmother remarried another pilot), which sounds like a crazy coincidence until you recall that their generation was in WW2 and we just shoved children in planes for 20 years and called that normal.

Anyway, to save on travel costs, my engineer Grandfather built his own plane out of junkyard parts, which, as you can imagine, is a living nightmare, and it was held together by like duct tape and gasoline (which at one time used to be cheap). Tempted God every day that Howls Moving Castle touched the sky.

And while I only know it from photos since I wasn’t exactly born yet, it looked exactly like this plane. So looking at this, all I can think is...yeah...that’s what you get for flying to India in a tin can car. To this day I cannot trust any plane of this size.

So, they climb out of their wreckage virtually unscathed and into familiar Californian territory.

At least Joey thought about bringing a tent.

It’s interesting how our cast has become so accustomed to this that they’re not even all that shell shocked. It’s just another day in the life.

So next time we shall find out what India has in store for us. Or if we’re even in India...because again...feels a lot like this BG team doesn’t do any research into their landscapes and every place feels a whole lot of the same. But...at least they didn’t put any Arizonan mesas in India.

The Episode of Lost Opportunities AKA 2x16

SO I wrote this before watching the promo, then I did and now I know most of us are just FREAKING out about next week (and I’m freaking out the most because ummm they’remakingmyfanficintoanactual EPISODE!!! How does one deal with this????)  but if you want a break from freaking out, here are some thoughts on last night’s episode!

So even though 2x16 was perfectly enjoyable, I’m going to have to officially re-name it “The Episode of Lost Opportunities” because there were so many plots and just tid-bits they could have done great things with.

So yeah not really a review today, instead I’m going to (in true Jenny Nicholson fashion) make a numbered list of things I think they should have added /done something with, in no particular order.

Miss nr. 1. Not having Higgy tease Magnum back with British pet names. I’m honestly devastated by this. Like what would a little sarcastic “come on luv” or a “Dearie, come here” from Juliet have cost them? The closest we got was Babe take our selfie.

Nr. 2. Not having Mr. Dorky Helpful But Cute guy ask Higgy out. I really thought this was where it was going with him being all “it’s just our second date, we met online” and yeah even though he looked about 12, it would have fit the episode. 

Plus they could have had Magnum standing to the side gesturing like “go for it” and her either saying yes or no and later her and Magnum having a little chat about it. The Yes with him being all “I convinced you to do it” proud and also mildly jealous. The No, with her being all “he’s a suspect” or “he went on a love bus tour!” or “I’m not ready, bc of the dead fiance, remember him?”

Nr. 3. Which takes us neatly to - drowned guy should be bringing up some feelings for Juliet as I’m fairly certain back in Day of The Viper they mention something about how Richard washed up on the shores of something-something (I mean obvs he was shot before but I’d still imagine some associations there).

Also her own almost drowning in 1x19 (even if this episode’s dude wasn’t drowned, it did seem so at first and he was still in the water). I just feel maybe there could have been some feelings here that our favorite duo actually talked about. Just a nice little call back to either one of those would have been great. One line! Is that too much to ask for?

Nr. 4 on the list of missed opportunities is for me going to be Theresa (Teresa?). TC’s old flame. And this is a big one! 

I honestly would have loved it if they went with this - as in have him not be so damned noble and let the childhood sweetheart go. Like, why not have them actually try to make a go at it?

Maybe she could have been there with just her boyfriend rather than husband to make it less of a thing and then maybe give it an episode or two and have them talk over the internet before she comes back and they get back together! Because why can’t anyone have a girlfriend? Like why do all of the guys need to be such lone wolves? 

I mean, I get it, because they are a family/brothers, but having even just one more minor female recurring would be interesting and would add dimension to the gang and characters!

Now this is like one of those random side plots that don’t really do much because in the end nothing has changed. Other than us learning a little more about TC, which is nice, but it doesn't seem like it will actually impact future episodes and didn’t really connect a whole lot with the episode. TC is just off getting closure to a relationship we never knew he needed closure for. Which means we’re not super invested.

I feel like this is a bit of a problem with the show in general. We get really nice and moving and character developing stuff for characters we haven’t been shown to need, as with Kumu last week and now TC. Rick and his dying “dad” Ice-Pick and even Shammie with his lying army buddy. Even Gordon and his son. Jin and his sisters and that’s why he steals.

These things could all have had 100 times more impact if they’d established these problems/ relationships earlier. Like if we had learned Kumu's husband had cheated on her and had a child with another woman (or maybe that Kumu is a bit sad she never had kids on her own) sometime before - over the past 30 episodes, wouldn’t last week’s episode, where she finally reaches out to the husband’s kid, would have been so much more emotionally satisfying? 

Same if Theresa had been mentioned as TC’s great love and maybe him being sad some episodes ago (or even back in 1x19 when his dad doesn't come to visit - that could have been about him seeing a post about her getting married and him being upset about it and connecting with Rick about that.) 

Like I get that maybe sometimes they just throw random things in there but at the same time why do they need to do that? Want to do that? Isn’t there someone keeping track of the big picture? Giving characters long running story arcs over a season or even multiple ones should be someone’s job. 

If it’s not, I volunteer! 

Seriously Lenkov I’m currently unemployed and totally up for it, just give me a call! I already know we think the same... (Marriage of Inconvenience). 

Nr. 5 Not having Gordon comment something on the fact that he’s been called to a murder scene on a Island Love tour bus site by his favorite PI duo. Like yeah they’d have told him why they were there but he still should have teased them about it! Like “What were you two doing here anyways? Something going on?” and both of them giving a horrified “NO!”.

Nr. 6 when the guy says “is he crazy?” after Magnum jumped into the waterfall pool thing, not having Higgy be all “Yes, he is”, then jumping in after him, was a huge miss. That would have been so funny and shown how much alike they are (even if Higgy will always be the sane one...)

Nr. 7. Not having Magnum and Higgins try to pretend to be together when the bus driver catches them. I mean come on! At least some more hand holding! Snuggling? I’m not saying to just kiss already okay maybe I am saying that.

Nr. 8. Not one real Miggy moment in this episode? I mean lots of bickering and maybe for a moment with her being all “well done” when he tells the cheating a-hole he’s an idiot for having an affair. And if the camera had stayed on him for a few seconds more when they’re toasting at the end we know we’d have gotten a Mangum looks had Higgy soft heart eyes moment. But we didn’t. But other than that, not really much feel-y moments even if we got plenty of cute stuff.

Nr. 9.  Sandy and how they find out Sandy is the killer! Like what? She cut the bus’s fuel line  which makes no sense, she’d wouldn’t want to trap herself right?  Sandy if you’d just not cut the fuel line and stayed with the group, you’d have been taken back to civilization and no one would have figured you out! Or you should have left right away on car/4-wheeler you must have prepared for escape, not stayed around! You could have left down long before the cops got there or the autopsy revealed anything. Same for why does she give her knife to her date? Why not just throw the knife away? She’s in the jungle, big chance it will be found. Not.

And why kill someone in the middle of nowhere, making yourself one of the, like, 8 suspects? Like come on girl, for a hit woman you’re not that clever. Also if you had a gun, why strangle a guy 2x your size? That’s not a smart plan either. Just get a silencer and shoot the guy when he’s on his morning jog back in the city or something! I feel like the only reason they had her be the baddie was so Magnum/ Higgins could say “Shot through the heart” // “How is that for poetic” all dramatically after Gordon took her down.

Problem nr. 10. Tied in with this I just think Sandy as the killer should have not happened. 

In fact, I think having the sweet loving wife as the killer would have been wonderful. 

It would have been a much better twist! Dead guy could have been poisoned (traditional how wive’s kill their husbands… just saying) and then he fell off the cliff. They could surely have found some weird clue to that, like maybe his throat is all swollen and stuff to make them think foul play and then when they’re moving the body towards the end, Magnum realizes it’s poison.

But Higgy stayed back with the ‘grieving’ asthmatic widow and oh no! Must rush back to save my one true love platonic partner. 

We could have had some sort emotional moment where the Wife got Higgy with a knife at her throat and is all “He was supposed to be my best friend, my partner, my everything and he did X” and Magnum being all “Well that woman you’re holding a knife to is my (best) friend, my partner and she didn’t do anything so please put the knife down!” Or something. 

I mean I know that sounds like I’m off in Miggy fanfiction land but honestly I think they could have made it work (this is hilarious when re-reading after watching next weeks trailer). She could have teased him about the best friend bit but then she could have been all soft, “Thomas. Thank you. I’m glad you're my friend.” And the episode could have ended with how love just never seems to end well for anyone which would have been way more on theme for the vibes in this episode (and frankly whole show because no one gets to have a romantic relationship for more than, like, 3 episodes).

Nr. 11. Higgins hair. Not putting it in the fluffy “Blood In the Water” style was a big miss because that hair made her look so freaking adorable. Just saying. I mean both my babies are always adorable I just love the poofy fluff hair from that ep!

Anyways, those were my 11 missed opportunities for episode sixteen!

My fave bits were Magnum and Higgins fake couple thing at the start. Magnum being all like “While we’re up here we might as well take a selfie!” and then when talking to the old couple his, *I’m just gonna keep my hand here, on your waist! I’m real smooth* move. 

I enjoyed the fast action pack-ed-ness of the whole ep and the pretty Hawaii scenery we got. The more I watch Magnum PI the more I want to visit Hawaii (one day when there is no Corona, I’m much richer and 20h airplane rides are suddenly comfortable, I will!) and just enjoying all the amazing natural beauty and stuff.

The Rick and TC’s interactions were also highlights, I loved the whole “just pretend to walk by”. Like so middle-school yet so relatable because who hasn’t done that when we’re like, is that Lisa from second grade? And just we walked down the cat food aisle perusing cat food (when we most def. don’t have a cat), just to check if it is indeed Lisa.

Also this made me crack up so hard.

Magnum: Muffin? 

Higgy: Could you please not refer to me as a breakfast pastry.

That’s just so on point for Higgy I can’t even!

You guys agree with my missed opportunities? Or have any of your own for this or any other episodes?

______

(And who is desperately searching for a time machine to steal so it can be next week - right this minute!! LIKE!!! I’m still freaking out from the trailer.)

Despite Dean's loving care, the 1967 Chevy Impala (AKA Baby) has taken a lot of damage during Supernatural's fifteen seasons. Hunting monsters is a dangerous gig, after all. Aside from the usual dents, dings and scratches, the car has been totaled nine times, with major wrecks occuring in various seasons. Attacks on the Winchesters often coincide with damage to the Impala, as monsters bombard the car in an effort to get to the brothers.

The biggest wrecks tend to happen during season finales as the boys go up against big bads like Azazel, Crowley or Dick Roman. The brothers usually come out the winners in these confrontations, but not without some collateral damage. The Impala acts as a symbol of the losses the Winchesters suffer, with blemishes on the car reflecting emotional trials and tribulations. One certainty of the series, however, is that Dean will never give up on the Impala, always building it back up no matter how destroyed it is.

In many ways, the Impala is another major character on Supernatural and has suffered almost as much as her owners. Let's take a look at some of the car's nastiest wrecks.

The Impala is featured heavily in Supernatural's pilot as the Winchester brothers investigate Constance Welch, a hitchhiking ghost who kills unlucky drivers. At one point, Baby is hijacked by Constance - starting up on its own and barreling towards the Winchesters. Dean is able to regain control after he and Sam escape its assault, but is visibly annoyed, setting a series-long precedent.

Constance again takes control of the Winchesters' car during the climax. When Sam is driving back toward town to meet up with Dean, he's stopped by the ghost. Per her M.O., Constance tries to seduce Sam and implores him to "take her home." When he refuses, she hijacks the car and stops it outside her old house, attacking him. Sam realizes the key to stopping Constance is to truly bring her back home. Trapped in the car, Sam revs the engine and drives it straight through the front wall of the house, crashing into the living room. The maneuver is successful in dispelling Constance, but the Impala is left significantly damaged.

The Impala remains mostly intact for the remainder of the first series as Dean and Sam traverse the country to find their father. It's only during the finale - after the three Winchesters are reunited - that the car is totaled again. Following the family's confrontation with Azazel, they flee the scene in the Impala. It's a moment of relief for viewers as the worst seems to be over. Just when Sam and John are resolving their issues, however, an 18-wheeler slams into the car.

The collision, caused by a demon-possessed driver, is abrupt and shocking, ending the season on a tantalizing cliffhanger. Jared Padalecki later confessed that since the car was set to be destroyed, he stole the center cap of the steering wheel as a memento. When the Impala reappears in season 2, episode 1, "In My Time of Dying," it's totaled. Sam's first response upon seeing the damage is, of course, "Dean is gonna be p***ed."

Sam asks Bobby to tow the car back to the salvage yard so Dean can fix it up, but Bobby argues there's nothing to fix as, "The frame's a pretzel, the engine's ruined. Still, Sam is in favor of restoring the car, which, like Dean, is near death. Dean is later seen restoring the car in episode 2, "Everybody Loves a Clown." Following John Winchester's death, Dean uses the project to process his own grief, hammering out dents and repairing the engine. Throughout the season 1 finale and the start of season 2, the Impala is representative of Dean's own physical condition and emotional state.

The Impala sustains some minor damage over the rest of season 2. The next major wreck, however, isn't until season 5, episode 4, "The End," when Dean travels to the year 2014. It's unclear what's happened to the Impala, but as Dean sneaks into Camp Chautauqua, he finds it a rusted-out wreck. The car has been left abandoned by his future self, who seems to have lost all hope he'll ever rescue Sam from Lucifer. The sight of the Impala is shocking to Dean and the audience, who have become accustomed to the idea he would never let it fall into disrepair. Having lost Sam, it seems Dean's future self found the Impala a painful reminder of their fractured relationship.

There's not much damage to the Impala during the rest of season 5, although it plays a pivotal role during the season finale, "Swan Song," When Dean refuses to abandon Sam, Lucifer starts beating him up against the car, cracking the windshield with his blows. The sight of the car helps Sam shake off Lucifer's control, allowing him to save the world.

Supernatural repeats a trope in season 6 when the Impala is again possessed by a ghost in an attempt to kill the brothers. The morbidly funny episode 14, "Mannequin 3: The Reckoning," sees them discover a girl with a haunted kidney. When they meet up to make a plan, the ghost of Rose Brown possesses the Impala and tries to run over Dean. He ultimately lures the ghost-possessed car into a trap, sending it crashing through a building, much to his own dismay.

The Impala is used as a form of shelter in the season 6 finale, "The Man Who Knew Too Much." In an attempt to stop Castiel and Crowley from opening a door to Purgatory, Dean and Bobby track down Crowley's hideout. As they're surveying the building, however, a massive cloud of demons appears on the horizon, forcing them to flee back to the car. When the demon cloud hits, it flips the Impala with Dean and Bobby inside, crushing the roof and breaking the windows. Dean is later seen repairing Baby in season 7, episode 1, "Meet the New Boss." Unable to help Sam or fight the Leviathan-possessed Castiel, Dean decides he's going to "work on her till she's mint," he says.

The Impala is missing in action for much of season 7 as Dean and Sam are forced to put her in long-term storage to avoid FBI detection. Near the start of the season, Leviathans impersonated the Winchester brothers and went on a killing spree, putting them at the top of the most-wanted list. On the radar of law enforcement, the Impala is simply too recognizable. Dean is angry and irritated by the change throughout the season, but the car returns with a vengeance when the Winchesters decide to fight Dick Roman head on. Having procured a weapon with the ability to kill Roman, they sneak into SucroCorp headquarters. The Impala is used to create a diversion, with demon Meg driving it straight through the front gates and a giant glass sign.

The Impala is the center of the action in season 11, episode 4, "Baby," one of the most beloved Supernatural episodes ever produced. The title refers to Dean's affectionate nickname for the Impala, "Baby," which he uses throughout the series. During the episode, every frame is shot from inside the Impala. Over the course of 45 minutes, viewers see the Winchester brothers hit the road, hunt down monsters and drive back home. By the time they are on their way back to the Men of Letters bunker, the car is significantly battered.

Most of the damage to the Impala comes from a crash into a roadblock. When the car is stolen by a nachzehrer - AKA were-pyre - Dean is handcuffed in the backseat. He eventually escapes, attacking the driver and crashing them into construction pylons. The accident crushes the front of the car, damages the engine and shatters the front and back windshields. A fierce battle ensues, and although Dean manages to kill the alpha nachzehrer, the fight breaks another window and leaves the car soaked in blood. By the end of the episode, the car is smashed up and battle-worn, but still able to carry the brothers home.

In season 12, episode 1, "Keep Calm and Carry On," the Impala is hit by an SUV driven by a member of the British Men of Letters. The attack, made by Toni's assistant Ms. Watt, is an attempt to prevent Dean from rescuing Sam. After the latter is kidnapped from the bunker, Dean, Cas and Mary Winchester track him down in the Impala. When they approach the hideout, Toni sees them coming and sends out Ms. Watt to stop them. The Impala is dented in the crash, but not completely wrecked.

The final culprit guilty of damaging the Impala in Supernatural is a hellhound. In season 12, episode 15, "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell," the Winchesters hunt a hellhound gone rogue in an effort to prevent it from killing an innocent woman. Toward the end of the episode, it attacks Sam and the intended victim as they are sitting in the Impala. Jumping on the car's hood, the hellhound dents Baby and cracks the front windshield. Sam is eventually able to kill the beast, but when Dean arrives on the scene, he's not happy. "This is why you don't drive," he says to Sam.

Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 7

Jerry is wearing the same clothes as he was when he was in the woods listening to Dr. Amp. Does this mean that he has been lost in the woods this whole time?  People have been known to disappear for a day or two in those woods without knowing how much time has passed. Has Jerry had one of those experiences? We shall have to see if any strange markings have appeared on him, as with the Log Lady and Major Briggs.

Hawk says that the 3 pages are definitively from the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer that Harold Smith had. He also suggests that it was Leland who had stashed them in the door of the men’s room stall, perhaps when they had brought him in for Jacque Renault’s death. Here is the problem: In Fire Walk with Me, we do see Leland/Bob tear some pages out of Laura’s diary. We previously assumed that these were the four pages that were missing. When Laura discovers these pages have been torn out, she takes the diary to Harold for safe keeping. Later, after she has taken the diary to Harold, she has the dream about Annie that is described on these pages that Hawk has found. This means that the pages we saw Leland/Bob tear out of the diary earlier can not be the ones that discuss the dream about Annie. That dream came later. Right away here, this makes a second problem. It means that if these pages were missing as well, then there are more than a total of four pages altogether torn out and missing from Laura’s diary. Even if Leland/Bob had somehow gone to Harold’s and torn out those pages later, there would be more than four pages missing. From Leland’s look when he was told about the Secret Diary at Harold’s in the original series, however, it was pretty obvious that he had known nothing about this “second” diary. The pages he had torn out earlier in Fire Walk with Me were the ones he showed Laura in the train car and said that he thought she had already known. Now it is possible that Laura had written about the dream of Annie in her other, non-secret, diary and that Leland had torn out those pages and stashed them. Hawk is pretty adamant that these pages came from the Secret Diary at Harold’s, however. This is also information that she would not likely write in the non-private diary, as these pages also contained the fact that she now knew who Bob really was and she would not want Leland/Bob to find that information.

So now we have two problems. The first is that, with these found pages along with the ones Leland/Bob had already ripped out, there should be more than four pages missing from the diary. On a side note, Hawk says here that there were four pages that were ripped out of Laura’s diary and the fourth one is still missing. Well we know from the original series that Harold had ripped out a page and left it for Donna. So would this not be the so called “fourth” page that had been ripped out? Cooper had been with Donna when she received it, so why would it be still considered missing? Did Cooper not tell anyone about this page? Or, again, are there actually more than four pages missing? The second problem is that Leland/Bob could not have been the one to stash them if he did not know about the diary being at Harold’s and therefore could not have them to begin with.

Now it could be argued that the Annie scene in Fire Walk with Me was shown out of sequence and that it had actually happened before we saw Leland/Bob rip the pages out of the book. I will have to go back and re-watch the movie to see if there are any other problems with that interpretation. Now if that scene was shot in this third season, I could see a precedent for that argument as we have already had a number of scenes shown out of sequence during this season. From everything we know, however, every other scene in that film was shown in sequence. It just makes no sense from that perspective that Lynch would have chosen to show this one scene out of sequence. It would also serve no purpose to the telling of the story.

The Giant had mentioned four-three zero to Dale in Part one. The farmer and Andy arrange to meet at 4:30. Right now, this does not appear to be related at all. There is a question, however, of what happened to the Farmer. Could something significant have happened at 4:30 that we are just not aware of yet?

I know that Lynch and Frost had wanted to show Warren Frost on screen. It is even more significant as this Part was shown on Father’s day and Warren Frost was Mark Frost’s father. This is probably why the first four episodes were released in twos. But they really could have found a way to make it serve the story. Now don’t get me wrong here, I loved seeing Doc Hayward, but there was no reason for Frank to talk to him on Skype when he already had him on the phone. It was not like Frank had something that he wanted to show the Doc. Everything that they discussed could have been done right there over the phone. This scene did disappoint me a little as a result.

Absolutely loved the wood paneled computer screen in Frank’s desk, though.

Evil Cooper could have been visiting Annie (I don’t know if she would have been in the ICU, though), or even retrieving the ring from the nurse that had stolen it from Annie (according to the Missing Pieces). The fact that Doc Hayward specifically mentions Audrey in her Coma, however, suggests the one thing that I did not want to think about. I had previously heard the theories that Richard was the product of a sexual relationship between Audrey and Evil Coop, and I had previously said that the only way that could have happened was if Evil Coop had taken advantage of her when she was in the hospital. That she was in a coma somehow makes this even worse to me, though it could be argued that at least she did not have to be awake for it. We do not know how long she was in the coma for. Perhaps she had the child while she was still in the coma and it had been given away to be raised. Who knows? From her point of view, however, she would have to think that the child was actually John Justice Wheeler’s.

What I would love to see, if Richard really is Audrey’s son, is for Audrey to just rip into him and chew him out for his behavior.

Because the body was around 40 years old and had only died five or six days ago, there are only two possibilities that I can come up with. First of all we know that Briggs could not just have been in the Lodge for all this time as we see that others, such as Cooper, do still age in the Lodge.

1) There is time-travel involved. Now we already know that real time travel does exist in this universe as Cooper had traveled through time when he went into the glass box (see my previous notes for further discussion of this). We also remember that in the original series Major Briggs had shown up in an old war-time flight outfit, which suggests that he may have gone back in time.

2) This body is not that of the original Major Briggs, but was manufactured. This gives further credence to the theory that Evil Coop had stolen the body’s little gold ball and replaced it with the original Dougie’s gold wedding ring so that he could manufacture the new Dougie.

Hmmm . . . the Woodsman shows up again, but we do not learn anything more about him.

I’m glad that they explained the reversed lettering along with the reversed fingerprints.

It was also nice for Cole to reference the backwards word spoken by Evil Coop, and tied in to the finger, which he had hinted about when he had told Albert that Cooper had not greeted him correctly.

HA! The girl from Ipanema. I wonder if Albert took her dancing.

So it seems that Evil Coop may have had his way with Diane as well as Audrey. Did Diane have a child as well? Is Linda her child? Two birds with one stone.

So now we have a Joe McClusky to go along with Mr. Strawberry. Unfortunately it appears that no one will hear about Joe McClusky or the late Mr. Strawberry again.

A part of me had wanted to see Cooper’s instinct kick in when Ike came after him, and I’m glad to have seen it, but a part of me also wanted to see Battleing Bud punch Ike out when he came after Cooper. Ike is still out there, though, so it could still happen.

Why does the arm show up here and tell Cooper to squeeze Ike’s hand off? Very strange for the arm to show up outside the Lodge.

Odd that we had the little circle of light area around the piece of flesh being taken off the handle of the gun. It was almost as if it were being shot by one of the news crew, though it really did not feel like it.

My first thought is that the sound was coming from the hidden passageway behind the walls. Because the sound seems to move, however, I’m wondering if it isn’t Josie still trapped in the wood of The Great Northern.

The key to room 315 returning to The Great Northern Hotel through the mail is in fact the final Key, the Lynch Pin if you will, in the puzzle that links all of the story lines to the same time period. There are still individual scenes that are shown out of order, but all of the events of the story now appear indeed to be happening in the same year.

We saw Ben trying to turn over a new leaf in the second season of the original series and it seems that he is still trying to fight his urges and to be a good man. He obviously senses Beverly’s attraction, but does not give in to the temptation. Good for him. We’ll just see if it lasts.

Yes, Lynch is known for his long, drawn out scenes. The sweeping scene in the Roadhouse, however, seems to go on for so long that it really feels as if they are stalling for time because they do not want to get into other information that fits better in the next Part. This is the first time that I have actually skipped ahead on re-watch. He did, however, have the presence of mind to film all of that in the first place.

Speaking of the Roadhouse, it is nice to finally have someone refer to it by name in this season and officially put an end to the idea that it is called the Bang Bang Bar.

We must remember that Ray is still under orders to kill Evil Coop, and that Evil Coop knows this.

Additional: I had not caught this one myself, but some of the customers at the counter of the RR actually change between the time when Bing pokes his head in through the door and he asks if anyone has seen Billy. Shelly actually shakes her head as if she senses that something is off, although she may just supposed to be reacting to Bing.

Yugioh S2 Ep 28: Marik Ishtar Canonically Only Weighs 121 lbs

Yo, I got hella sick this week and slept for what felt like 3 straight days, so because I’m still not fully functional (like I just found french fries in my front pocket of my sweatshirt and I have no idea when over the past three days I put that in there), in celebration of finally being awake, lets watch a lucid dream put to the screen, that’s right, it’s time for Yugioh.

Last we left off, Yugi has decided to throw this heavy chain and anchor over Joey’s neck--referring of course to the golden cursed necklace and not the actual chain and anchor that is hanging above them and about to kill them (but probably weighs the same but we’ll get to that realization later). I was really hoping that we’d get to see Pharaoh pull up in the corner like a little shoulder angel and just start shouting at Joey, but apparently you can’t catch the Pharaoh Dad curse that easily.

So apparently I missed THIS the last two episodes--but there’s a huge ass Death Clock above the anchor? Seriously, there’s been a time limit this whole time!?

I would be jumping into the ocean the moment I saw this clock, I just cannot even fathom the thought of playing a 20 minute card game. Like once my older brother--a different bro than my younger bro who edits this blog, this is my Chaotic Neutral bro--decided to shove 5 different Uno decks together to create an ultimate deck that was almost entirely wilds and draw 4′s and it was such an excruciating experience, that my Mother secretly threw the game away. Forever scarred.

Anyway, now that he’s strapped with Pharaoh in a Box, finally things got weird enough that Joey snapped out of it. First time he snapped out of it was because of a dragon...second time was the puzzle...he has yet to even kind of recognize Tea strapped in a bondage chair with a giant storage unit threatening to crush her--that one doesn’t seem to bother him.

Joey has a very selective memory, but he only seems to come to for about 10 seconds at a time and mostly just sweats a lot whenever he does.

(read more under the cut)

And as Joey pulls out the same piece he once threw out a school window and into a really fancy fountain, he has a very quick flashback to Season One. Or Season Zero, depending on which version you like better. (What school has a fountain, PS? Was that a quick donation from the Kaibas so the principal could shrug off some demerits?)

And so Joey puts the puzzle back together and back over his neck.

It’s fine. Go back to throwing fireballs at your best friend, but if you litter, then that’s just way too far. I mean the show has to stretch this out four episodes anyway, so despite their endless friendship love--Joey is still possessed and we have nothing left to give him unless Yugi just starts unloading belts.

Really confused at how this magic even works or operates when the puzzle is so far away from Yugi, but maybe Pharaoh has a battery life like a wacom tablet.

Man, so there really is no way to have any privacy when that guy’s in your head huh? Like can’t even hang up the puzzle when you’re on the toilet--no--he’s just...always around. This is the worst curse.

Back on the boat, the story boarding team realized that Marik is an underage teenager and cannot drink alcohol on TV.

I mean he didn’t even have a bottle of whatever he’d drink to fill that glass (milk, I’m assuming. Marik seems like the type of person that’d put ice in his milk.) But all that was drawn next to him was just one bucket of ice. Marik’s just back here stress chewing ice like a pregnant woman.

PS I just looked up Marik’s age with a quick Google Search and can we talk about something real fast--just real fast--JK I’m gonna talk about it a lot.

+++++RATHER LONG WIKIA WORMHOLE WEIGHT DISCUSSION FEEL FREE TO SKIP++++++++++

Age‎: ‎16 <---which seems a little young, but OK, it’s an anime

Weight‎: ‎121.254 lb <------- EXCUSE ME, WIKIA!?

Height‎: ‎1.8 m ; 5.906 ft 

He is nearly 6 ft feet tall and 120 lbs!?

Y’all.

Marik HAS NO BONES.

As a reviewer, it’s not my job to go around saying if drawing Marik way too skinny for a normal human being is right or wrong, because that’s a discussion that you can find plenty of info on. I’m pretty sure the people who made this show never expected when they first drew Yugi’s crazy eyes and horrible hair that we’d have a generation that would point to it and say “that’s hot”

And I’m not saying any of these characters have eating problems either, because we’ve seen all of them eat healthy meals. The shocking thing is that they gave these fake characters--remember these aren’t real people, they are cartoons--a specific numeric weight.

Blood type I expect, other random anime tidbits I expect--but weight seems super duper random and so awkward. Like, why do we have this information? Was it on a card or something? Like did the intern who came up with this weight number even research like...how much a normal human weighs??? Did they pull this number out of their ass???? None of these numbers make any sense, and they have these for apparently every single person who has appeared on the show. It’s incredible.

Man, Marik’s still wearing Baby Gap over there. Which...that explains the very small hoodie.

...one sec, let me look at the stats on Yugi.

Weight‎: ‎92.594 lb Height‎: ‎1.53 m ; 5.02 ft

OH NO. Who did this!?

He can’t even ride a roller coaster yet! Well, that explains a lot of the need for so many belts on this show. Yugi hasn’t hit the big triple digits yet.

Oh, Yugi.

And since we’re talking about numbers, lets talk about that puzzle now that we’ve talked about Yugi’s body weight. And like, lets be real--this is a cartoon and so of course it weighs magically nothing in the physics of the show...but lets just see, using math, how much this is if a 7 inch isosceles pyramid were made of solid gold (assuming that there is no gap in the middle, because that’s the way I’ve personally interpreted it.)

Now I’m gonna throw out a number and if you disagree, that’s cool beans and I don’t care, I was an art major, leave your math in the comments. But my math: It’s roughly 60 lbs. Some people online say it would only be 2 kilo’s but I don’t know what planet they’re from. Gold is .7 lbs a volumetric inch

Of course this weight also depends on how heavy the chain is, but I mean...the chain is stronger than Joey Wheeler and Tristan combined hitting it repeatedly with a pipe. It’s gotta be a car-towing/superlock chain.

a 20 inch heavy duty tow/lock chain is like 15 lbs, from what I see on Ebay.

So that pyramid necklace, indeed, is 75 lbs--4/5 of Yugi’s weight.

Now lets say you think there’s a gap in the middle and each piece has about a half-inch thickness, we’ll subtract about 43 lbs.

That’s still a 32 lb necklace guys, it’s about a third his weight!

Now lets say this was gold plated--first off, it’s not. But, lets say it’s entirely copper AND it’s hollow. That necklace is still 7 lbs with a 15 lb chain which is 23 lbs.

So, in all, Yugi actually weighs more than most people on this show--but it’s only because of the necklace, meaning the strongest thing in Yugioh, other than the endearing power of friendship between Joey and Yugi, is Yugi’s neck.

I also looked up Seto Kaiba and it didn’t say his weight right away but it did say this

Favorite Food‎: ‎Filet Mignon with Foie Gras Sauce

Damn.

Why does Seto Kaiba crave freakin ducks? Someone please give this poor child some candy. Give the whole cast candy.

+++++++END RANT OF EVERYONE’S WEIGHT ACCORDING TO WIKIA. I’M NOT EVEN SURE WHY WE KNOW THIS?+++++++

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the boys are still babysitting Serenity, who has the pure muscle mass of 108 lbs, which is nearly 20 lbs more than Yugi Muto and only about 10 lbs less than Marik Ishtar.

She could probably lift Marik Ishtar. TBH with OP buff Wheeler stats like that, Serenity could probably punch out half the cast and does not need babysitting.

Duke Devlin is still following them around. I don’t really know why. No thugs are after Duke. Duke can just leave whenever he wants to, but he’s either so fascinated by Tristan’s predicament, or so enamored by Serenity’s soft hair and beautiful bandages, that he’s decided to follow along like Bakura in Season 1.

Except Bakura in Season 1 followed along because he wanted to screw them all, I’m pretty sure Duke won’t be doing that because I’m fairly positive that dice earring he got off of Etsy isn’t a millennium earring. I’m fairly positive he isn’t going to randomly kill everybody. I don’t know if this show could handle yet another villain dead set on destroying the world.

This love triangle between Tristan, and a girl who I didn’t think was real in S1, and Duke Devlin, the guy who was in a one-off at the end of S1 when the season should have already ended. So this is happening now. Interesting choice, show.

Serenity is like 12, right? Like her brother’s 14-16 and she’s like 11-13?

This show has a cast mostly full of people who are all the same age yet they keep shipping the few people that are either too young or waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too old. (except for Yugi and Joey, of course, who are the same age)

Duke Devlin, with this newly found responsibility, immediately walks a blind person into the street.

Anyways, speaking of ships that are way too old for this show, look who’s here and driving the dumbest convertible I’ve ever seen drawn.

And on the other side of town, the show edited out most of this violent nonsense for me.

Mai’s car, straight from fisher-price. I can’t stop looking at it.

So um...in the time it took to get Tristan, pick him up, turn around, and then drive here it was like...a 2 minute drive?

But, youknow, consider the Kaiba’s perspective. You’re watching this effed up duel straight from the bowels of Satan, and you hear a car pull up, and you’re like “oh finally, someone’s come to help us” and you turn around, and it’s a blue clown car full of Mai Valentine, Tristan, that random horny kid from the class across the hall, and some blind woman?

So Mokuba, who weighs less than one millennium puzzle at 61 lbs, actually makes an attempt to explain everything as quickly as possible and this is like the fourth time this kid has had to explain to someone else what the hell is going on.

Ah, and now everyone’s a bystander.

Almost the entire cast is here now, right? At least Yugi will die with an audience.

Bandit Keith weighs 187 lbs, PS. He is, so far, the only character I’ve checked who weighs more than Yugi with the necklace on.

Anyway, their weights are all awkwardly available online and I’ll probably go back to forgetting that this random info exists (much like I consistently forget that Seto is only 6′1″ although he’s drawn like he’s 8 ft tall)

Next week on Yugioh:

So how much does Yugi’s hair weigh when all that product is on there? Does Seto ever eat that Filet Mignon he craves so bad? Is Mai in fact renting that car and does it get busted here in the Abandoned Warehouse neighborhood?
