okay listen, it's so damn late and I told myself to leave the next message to your for tomorrow but I cannot help myself. And it's because I saw something interesting you added to your post.

I mean those aesthetic thing. I'm gonna be honest dear, I'm cringing when I look at this...

...because I'm the person who did them.

Damnit, Oreana! you indirectly exposed me in like, third respond to my anon messages??!! I'm beyond angry but in a very good way. In very exciting way.

And as much as I cringe at these edits (cuz I could do better now!), I cannot describe how happy I am to know you still kept that. It's... such an amazing feeling. I'm beyond happy that I might even shed a tear or two. Absolutely amazing. And I'm absolutely thankful cuz holy eff. You don't even know how much. Truly. It can be seen as nothing but thanks so much for having them saved. Although I must say I saw that you still have them on your blog. Amazing feeling, that it wasn't deleted. Ah, I meant I wouldn't mind if you deleted them! After all, it was something made for ac so yeah!

Yes I start to ramble, sorry, but I'm so so so so thankful.

Thank you, dear. Truly, thank you.

But well that should explain to you how I remember that Emmett had the ability to change into the horse. I never forgot, nor I forgot your Oreana. Holy eff, I even remember how I started to simp to her brother (I hope it was her brother) and I requested a short fic with him.

AHGGG this is beyond exciting! Kinda overwhelming too, especially for 2am.

Anyway, don't you dare think I'm gonna ignore the talk about overlord, happy farm and demiurge. I'm gonna get there, I'm just too excited to share this all and expose myself even further.

But I will say that I'm glad to hear you beat the anemia's ass. That's always good to hear tho but yes. Slay!

But truly, damit Oreana. I cannot believe this happened. And I cannot believe I wrote this instead of acting normal.

Love you, dear. Even after all of those years.

- Pandemonium

(sorry if I don't respond immediately to your potential reaction to this. it's truly too late here but I just, couldn't help myself)

So it IS you! ♥ Funny thing... you said Emmett turning into a horse, and yeah—he could in Oreana's version of her world as that was his dream land animal form—BUT...I still remember when you had that Horseman idea, and Emmett would even turn into her steed! Funny story to add onto that one: Cheshire, Demona's NPC in Overlord, actually took some of the ideas from that where his little necklace turns into a shield when he transforms. X”D

Wow. No fooling?? OMG, I'm so glad you're okay! ;~; I sadly couldn't give you a name, because I know you changed blogs so often that I couldn't really give you one! But yeah! I remember you! And of course I kept them! I have ALL those edits. All of them. ♥ Just because the fandom hurt me didn't mean I ever wanted to be rid of the treasures people gifted me. ♥♥ I even have the one you did of Oreana's older brother.

I think it's because I changed my name. It used to be one word, remember? Now it's The-Blind-Geisha (because I swear if I heard someone make the joke 'hate a house' one more time, I'd riot lol). But they are under 'for me' tag:

I also have this one still I know you did:

Yeah! Her brother Emuntin! ♥ We even did a small RP about that, I think?? Goodness, it's been so dang long! Good memories though!

Awwwr, still! It was a joy to read! ;^; Thank you so much again, hon. It was wonderful to catch up with you!

Love you too, hon! I am so relieved during this crazy time you're okay. ♥♥ Puts my mind and heart at ease.

(Sleep, silly! You deserve it!) ♥

#i was hoping it was you!#i only have good memories of our time together so don't you worry none #take care hon!#mod answers #anon #anon: P #anon: Pandemonium

I want to watch the Mandalorian (pt. 1)

Live commenting my experience watching star wars for the first time:

(I really remember episode 1, so I'm gonna start with 2. This will also include the tv shows, and the like, so buckle in all!)

- yoda looks really animated, (future loop: along with Jar-Jar and a lot of the alien characters. it doesn’t look terrible when alone, but when you see them ‘interacting’ with real characters, they look fake and plastic-y. it doesn’t hold up really well in those parts, but elsewhere it blends better)

fury, though, looks super young, much better animation than in Captain Marvel. :p

- I cant tell if the whole backshot of padme’s head is to admire the insane hairstyles, or to have a surprise that one of her handmaidens is actually there, not her.

ALSO, who thought attaching a vase to the back of her head was an excellent fashion choice? I thought we got rid of the elaborate hair-dos padme?

- “dooku can’t assassinate anyone, its not in his character” is that famous last words? (future loop: there’s so many of those lines... - “the chancellor doesn’t appear to be corrupt”, “why do I have a feeling you’re going to be the death of me?” that’s 3 lines in ~20 minutes that are only funny if you know the plot of episodes 4-6, wow, sometimes I forget these are prequels, and then stupid lines like this happen)

- from what I remember of the lead up in phantom menace, the relationship between padme and anakin seemed kind of tense. I always wondered why she went for anakin when obi-wan was in the room, and looked tons better.

I was gonna call her out on it, but DAMN, young Christian Anderson is actually really pretty looking, so, I kinda get it gurl. Wait, he’s got a small ponytail, (early 21st century version of the man bun), against obi-wan’s gorgeous flowing hair. we’re back to questioning padme’s decision.

(future loop: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, really, the whole ‘watching her sleep’ thing is new levels of creepy. it’s like they put all the most objectionable parts of twilight into one person.)

(future future loop: and yoda recommends anakin stay behind. are padme and anakin his OTP, and he’s using any and all possible reason to get them together?)

(FFF loop: add venting at random women he barely knows to the list of anakin’s issues here... ahhhhhh! look at his smirk after she says him looking at her like that makes her feel uncomfortable.)

(FFFF loop: and now I’m pulling a Triton! YOU’RE ONLY EIGHTEEN ANI! YOU DONT KNOW LOVE YET. He’s also very forward, and ignoring Padme being uncomfortable any time he mentions his affections for her. I really want Megamind or someone to come in and just punch him, and tell him to stop.)

(FFFFF loop: and now the infamous sand speech (holy fuck, he used it as an avenue to hit on padme?! and there was some awkward tit staring too.))

(FFFFFF loop: that line actually worked too. where’d this chemistry come from, because she wasn’t interested before. please don’t let this be a ‘woman has no idea what she wants’ cliche.. i’ve seen theories that he’s using the force to influence her, and it’s starting to feel more and more possible)

(FFFFFFF loop: okay, the scene of them in the field was cute)

(FFFFFFFF loop: “I’m haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me.” - one, he started that kiss, and two, what a shitty manipulative way to ‘entice’ someone. just like, dude, no means no. it doesn’t mean have a couple ‘friend dates’ and see where things go. no wonder Obi-Wan doesn’t want him to do the trials, he’s so freaking impulsive, and is practically lead by his dick . and padme is still saying no. and ani is still not listening!)

(FFFFFFFFF loop: the actual admission of their feelings is super cute, but feels like it belongs in a different movie. the first hour or so of the film made me absolutely hate this relationship, and now I think they are super cute. not a fan of rollercoasters like this. all their interactions after were really believable, if you started halfway through the movie.)

- as for Jar-Jar, I remember everyone shitting on him, and having seen some of the more interesting stories about his creation (Sith Jar-Jar, the fact that his voice actor based it on his local dialect, etc), I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. he’s massively annoying, but so were the Minions, but everyone went ga-ga for them. I think if his voice dropped a couple decibels he would have been a lot better. its the squeaky-ness that gets to me, and makes me want to see him off the screen

- i dont know which part was worse, Obi-Wan “lets jump out a window (with glass that actually broke!)” Kenobi, or Anakin “lets slice small bugs with my laser sword around the head of the woman I’m crushing on” Skywalker

(future loop: round 2: Anakin “I’m gonna abandon my post to find my mum” Skywalker, or Obi-Wan “Let’s kick the guy we’re tied to off the landing pad” Kenobi)

- also “death sticks” was almost a good joke as the “You want to go home and rethink your life”

- as a librarian myself, the librarian/archivist makes me hate the profession a bit.

- its an interesting thing, realizing your teaching approach for small children is the same as yoda’s (apparently i also share similar opinions of politicians with ani)

- obi-wan’s reactions on kamino is just the best thing.

- Shmi getting released from slavery: that’s such a slippery slope. as a shorthand, its a sweet idea for her, but do you know if it was ever really her choice. I mean, you’d feel indebted to the person who freed you. (is that stockholm syndrome?) And then she gets fridged, so that’s fun...

anakin’s angry face doesn’t look that terrifying - is it supposed to? this kid is 18 yo rn, he’s still got baby fat on him, which rounds him out. perhaps thats the point. this is where he ‘becomes a man’, as dumb as that sounds. we haven’t seen him be much more than a kid. but this is where he gets his teeth, that ‘first step’, which will colour any further anger interactions. baby faced anakin could not have killed the little ones, but after this, you can see it more likely.

so the characterization coming from the whole Shmi arc is what I wish was apart of the whole film, instead of it being about 1h30min into it

- its interesting to see how the manipulation is evolving. the subtle manipulation of jar-jar. the shades of grey between dooku and obi-wan. (future loop: were there actual shades of grey, or just 1000 IQ thinking saying the truth to someone who would believe it to be a lie. I can’t tell if it was him reaching out, accidentally showing his hand, or intended to happen. that whole ending seemed to be really convoluted, and on par with the Joker’s plan in the Dark Knight, very fridge logic)

- ya kno, the clones will respond to anyone telling them what to do... that seems like an major concern... and playing the imperial march as both palpatine and the clones march is such a nice touch.

------------------

The biggest frustration I found was that the movie feels like two separate movies. the second half was fun and the characters were much more enjoyable. the writing had good chemistry between ani and padme, which wasn’t there in the beginning.

oh, and look, it was written by george lucas AND jonathan hales. the AND means that the script was worked on separately, and it shows.

“The Wiping of the Disciple’s Butt”

The season finale. I’m nauseous. Lets begin.

As always, I’m watching from the perspective of someone who has read the manga and webcomic.

Right where we left off. Again I love the music. I’m just like, really calm right now actually. hhhhhhhhhhhokay. OOF oh god all the crunching sound effects oh no, this is already so weird watching Garou get his ass handed to him since he’s pretty much curb stomped every other hero in battle thus far, or at the VERY LEAST avoided taking so many hits. This. is so uncomfortable to watch. WOAH ????? THESE SHOTS WERE ONLY THERE FOR A SPLIT SECOND BUT??? HOLY SHIT???

GAROU’S HAIR OH MY GOD

Oh god oh god Bang is relentless this hurts please stop guys GUYS PLZ HAS NO ONE REALISED THAT NOT ONE HERO HAS DIED CMON PLZ IT HURTS calm down stop trying to kill him plsplspls OH

I WASNT PREPARED FOR MY FAVORITE DOPEY BIRD MAN THE FUCK PHOENIXMAN PLS NO ILY I know people hate him a lot but I just really dig how he feels like a fleshed out character compared to most other monsters, like he’s legit lookit him being all smart and stuff plz I just,,,,,,,,,,,, want to hug dumb fluffy birb ;-;

Woah again I’m being blown away by the animation??? Garou getting smacked around is really fluid and this just looks really cool in general?????

FUCK I CANT DO FLASHBACKS MAN JUST HEARING THE KID VOICE MAKED MY STOMACH LURCH OH NO

OH NO I SCREAM OH NO I CANT OH NO GIMME 5 MINUTES PLEASE I CANNOT BBY NO I FORGOT ADULT GAROU IS IN THE FLASHBACK WATCHING THIS TIME PLS NO

LIKE???????? I got kinda a comedic vibe watching him comment on it in the manga but the slow music and shit is just FUKKIN ME UP RIGHT NOW I HATE IT THANKS IT HURTS

oh god his face he has the seething thousand mile stare of quiet rage and its burning a hole STRAIGHT THROUGH MY ENTIRE BEING “But me I was the loner kid. Always gloomy and without friends” STOP. YOU STOP THAT RIGHT THIS INSTANT. IM CRYING AT U RIGHT NOW STOP

NO DONT HOLD HIM LET HIM GO S T O P OR SO HELP ME i can’t watch this what the fuck “I was always the loser” SHIT this legitimately hurts me “I dont want to be the monster anymore” GArou hey did you hear that part?? hEY GAROU DID YOU HEAR YOURSELF THERE???

WHAT DID I SAY WHAT THE F DID I JUST SAY STOP HOLDING HIM STOP STOPPIT THE HELL MAN What if……….. I just go BACK IN TIME AND ADOPT BB GAROU CAN I DO THAT IS THIS POSSIBLE IS THIS ALLOWED ? ?? ?

oh my god it keeps getting worse. I mean. I already knew garou was being disproportionately reprimanded for what he supposedly did, but watching this scene just fucking kicked me in the teeth. As if my stomach wasn’t already in knots. The fuck . why does this hurt so much more watching than reading the frustration in seeping into me ffffff.

This looks really cool but, i can barely focus on that because im pretty much being exsanguinated on the floor over here by this whole sequence look at him crying. do it for me cause I sure as hell can’t

“I want to strike a blow for the little guy”

Fukkin GETTEM GO GETTEM

HOLY SHIT HIS VA IS GOING T F OFF

He’s an angel. A literal angel. Look at that and tell me he doesn’t look like a fucking angel in the sky with the rays of light casting shadows around him.

Genos you are too good and pure for this world but that DOESNT MEAN TRY TO GET YOURSELF KILLED

Shit they really made it look like he was gonna self destruct there for a second which MADE HIS LAST STAND EVEN MORE INTENSE OH MY GOD SWEETHEART Y’all ever get into a show because you keep seeing one character that catches your interest, and you keep seeing them pop up on your dash or wherever until you finally decide ‘well fuckit, this is the asshole that’s gonna get me to finally watch the show’, cause you’re already invested in them anyway? Genos did that for me with OPM. If this fool didn’t exist Who knows how long it would’ve taken me to get to watching OPM, if ever. And shit like this is why I STILL love him. I usually move on to new faves 90% of the time but nope. Genos earned his spot and is keeping it. Look at this insane shit. My heart. Uhg

Enough gushing asdfghjkl ok but Genos, you just went INTO THE DAMNED THING’s STOMACH,,,,, and you’re SURPRISED that there’s STOMACH ACID?? But real talk. What the EVERLONG FUCK is that thing’s insides made out of? How did it NOT DIE. the FuCK

asdfghjkl Phoenixman’s chuckle???? I love

Oh Bang no, this is wrenching my heart like I know that he doesn’t actually use his power but its built up so intensely like,,, would he be ok if he did??? and actually more concerningly since it even WAS brought up that he has some hidden true strength, will we EVER get to see that??? Oh Shit well when they word it as “All the power left to me in this life” then yeah, that seems pretty life or death ish???? THE FUCK

Oh thank god comedic relief is here I feel like i’m about to have a heart attack my chest is so tight hhhhhh ok breathe WAIT THIS ISNT COMEDIC THIS IS BADASS AS HELL JEEZUS witht he flashbacks to the Saitama encounter and THIS LOOK

The Anime is really fucking with the audience huh??? Making it look like KIngs about to throw hands like???????????? OH SHIT AND THIS MUSIC IS DOPE AS HELL TOO IM JUST laughing I have so much excessive energy right now???

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHZAHAHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASDFGHJKLJHGFDSWERTGYHUIUJHGFDFGHJKJHGFRE THE FUKKIN SONG THEY BROUGHT IT BACK THE ULTIMATE SONG I GOT THREE NOTES IN JUST THREE NOTES AND I KNOW IM SCREAMING I GOTTA GO RUN BRB

KING WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT REACTION ASDFGHJKL W H A T

WAIT THEY ARE DOING THE OPENING THEME AT THE END NO I CANT HANDLE SEEING EVERYOONE NOW OF ALL TIMES GOD DAMNIT WHY ok yknow what. I knew it would be king. I dont know how but i did

Wha

fkin cliffhanger no please no

I.. I’m kind of at a loss for words. I’m. That’s it, huh? It’s really over. It doesn’t FEEL over. There’s so much unfinished business. Well, the only way to really neatly wrap everything up as neatly as S1 did would have been to get ALL THE WAY through the Garou arc, which obviously wasn’t going to happen, but this is not a great spot to leave off if we’re going to endure another few years hiatus. My hope is that, with biweekley manga updates, we should wrap up the Monster Association/Garou stuff (assuming it doesn’t diverge from the web comic too much) some time next year, and I’m HOPING that s3 is already being planned accordingly along side manga publications. So MAYBE it will at least be announced around that time 2020. That’s my wishful thinking at least. I don’t think I can survive 3 years. anyway

You could really tell JC Staff poured their hearts and souls into these last 2 episodes. Absolutely gorgeous, paced well, so completely satisfying and making every second of s2 worth while. For me, at least. I’ve already seen people still complaining and I’m just sorry they didn’t have as much fun as I did.

Seriously, thank each and every one of you guys. This has been a wild ride, I’ve barely had this blog a few weeks before season 2 started airing (and honestly just got into opm maybe a month before that?), so I owe a lot of the success on the blog to the anime I bet. This was the first series I’ve never tried live bogging, and I honestly can’t believe that they were as popular as they were? Especially since I never have any idea what I’m doing but yall listen to me ramble anyway?? Yall are crazy thank you so so so much. Now my tuesdays are gonna feel really empty… next week is gonna be weird as hell. Though I’m gonna get mad nostalgic good vibes rewatching this season in the future in no small part from sharing my experience with everyone who's stuck around. I can’t say see yall next week this time, but, see you next season whenever it may be for sure.

Chapter 87: Boy Toy

Oh boy, this one was a trip for me. I’ll start out by saying the main problems I have with this chapter are primarily with the start because that is so...ugh. We start off with Daisy caring about Paulo, and Abbey being a jealous little fuckboy. But that’s not what we’re here for is it? No. We’re here because of this

Oh boy. Yeah that is definitely gay behavior that would totally bring someone’s sexuality into question. I mean just look at this. Who the fuck does that? I mean someone’s up in your face, and acting all tough and stuff. So in order to show how much it doesn’t care and just to piss them off you kiss them? Jesus christ that would make anyone question their sexuality!

I mean god, just look at those fucking gays! My god.

Okay, but in all honesty this really is stupid, and when I heard and saw this shit it left such a sour taste in my mouth because it’s so ignorant to imply this is gay given the context of both of these characters and the situation. Because this to me doesn’t make me believe that Paulo is starting to act gay or in a way that would make him question his sexuality. It’s actually the opposite, because to me this is an act of defiance, it shows Paulo’s comfortable enough in his sexuality that he’d kiss a guy to piss him off and not even think twice about whether or not it’s gay.

Then we move on to the immediate next page where there’s another thing to bring up because

First of all, Mike where the fuck have you been? Look at this scene composition:

Who the fuck was talking to you Mike?! No seriously, who was talking to you? This is the same scene, same place. I know it’s the next page, but seriously was there a time skip in-between pages? Was there cut dialogue? Why is he saying that? No one seemed to be talking to him before. This is weird composition, and it’s messing with my head a little. But that’s just probably a rewritten bit of dialogue from trying to write and rewrite this scene to make it more presentable and less clunky.

Unfortunately it didn’t work, because these bits of dialogue seem clunky as hell. First of all what is Mike even talking about with “I’m not against guys, uh...” I guess he means “against guys kissing” so it’s clear he’s insinuating Paulo has The Gay(tm). But this just seems like such an awkward thing to say, maybe “Hey, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with you...y’know...” or something like that. Why is he being broad about it “I’m not against guys...” and not “I’m not against you...” what do other guys have to do with it? It seems like even he doesn’t know what he’s trying to say. And I don’t get the point of “It doesn’t seem like something you’d normally do” like, I guess yeah but if Mike’s earnestly trying to be supportive here, wouldn’t he say something like “I mean if that’s what you wanna do, that’s what you wanna do...” or “Hey I’m not judging or anything, I mean you do you man.” Why would he say it like that? As if this would be something out of.. character...

OH HA HA HA VERY FUCKING FUNNY YOU SON OF A BITCH

Oh yeah, and Paulo’s reaction is just ridiculous. Guy goes from zero to one hundred, and jumps to the conclusion that he’s being called gay even though Mike’s language has been pretty vague and not really even saying “gay”. I guess maybe that’s what Taeshi was trying to accomplish here, but it just comes off as weird. And according to the author’s notes Paulo’s reaction was actually supposed to be even MORE overblown than this.

But moving on from this awkward exchange, we go to the next page where Paulo is now in a tissy, and

HOLY SHIT ffffff god I just got visual whiplash! Is that even a thing?! Like the whole big head style is whatever, but jesus christ Rachel, what are you? 3 feet tall? Reminder: Rachel is at least a year older than Paulo, and is also a chubby puppy. What the heck is this? Remember kids: If you base character size based on how short they are comparatively to the people around them and not based on how tall they are from the ground, you can find yourself falling into the trapping of making your characters dwarves. And if you have a style that gives them big anime eyes, and petite bodies, you might accidentally turn them into lolis. And if you’re not okay with that, then you must quickly reevaluate your stylistic choices.

But anyway, I know this is long but don’t worry kids I’m not gonna roast every single page. Just every page that I got problems with. And there’s nothing as bad with the next few pages. Matt invites Paulo to a party, and Paulo being an angsty confused little shit is rude to him at first. But luckily the best character in this entire comic is here to set him straight

Have I mentioned how much I love Rachel? Cause I do. A lot. And this is a big part of my reason why. She’s not one to put up with other people’s bullshit, even those that she loves.

She’s not gonna let that shit stew for months or shit, nah she’s gonna call you out the moment she sees it, and she’s gonna set you straight. She’s not gonna put up with anyone’s shit, and I fucking love her for that. You fucking go girl!

...

And don’t tell me about what’s coming up...I already know...

I got a bottle a jack ready for it, but I don’t know if I’m ready for it...

anyway I guess this isn’t so bad, I mean my only real problem with this chapter is how Paulo’s sexuality is being handled here. I feel like it could definitely have been handled better and more naturally, especially if it wasn’t spurred on by him fucking with Abbey, maybe if it was another character like...

Oh yeah! David! Hey, that’s a good point! David would’ve been perfect for a chapter like this. I mean, if I had to write Paulo questioning his sexuality his relationship with David would be an obvious go to. I mean they’re practically inseparable, and it’d be easy to use that to be how Paulo would start to question his sexuality! And while I hate to put myself in Taeshi’s shoes, because I would never want to be her; if I were writing a chapter where Paulo starts to realize he’s bi or starts to question his sexuality, I’d start with his relationship with David. I mean it’s pretty much all but confirmed that David is gay if not bi himself, and from an outsider’s point of view one would easily presume that they were gay together. So what if Paulo’s talking to Matt or something, like when he’s getting invited to Matt’s Aunt’s house. And Matt says Paulo can bring David as well. And Paulo would laugh about it and be like “Hey, I don’t have to bring David everywhere it’s not like we’re a couple or anything. I got Rachel!” And Matt would be like “ha, could’ve fooled me~” or something like that. Just off-handedly joking about it, but it plants the idea in Paulo’s head that maybe his relationship with David is kinda gay, and that’s what makes him start to overthink things. And he could start acting out against David, like trying to push him away which causes him to get upset and figure out what’s wrong eventually getting him to open up about it. Man David would be perfect for this chapter! Maybe he can help show Paulo how being gay isn’t bad, or show him that his behavior is nothing to be worried or upset over! Maybe by showing an actual platonic friendship with someone who is gay, Paulo can realize the nuance of being gay an-

Oh that’s all that we get out of David for this chapter huh? Okay, that’s cool....

Well after this nothing really happens in this chapter. Paulo sees Daisy again, and gets flustered/scared? And decides to go watch a movie because...he told Daisy he’d do that. It’s pretty contrived.

In fact the whole movie part of this chapter is contrived, and doesn’t serve any real purpose besides giving us 6 pages of Paulo just overthinking things, and being confused. There’s not much to comment on, besides this scene composition

First of all, indeed WHAT DO YOU MEAN NC-17?! Movies don’t get released into theaters with an NC-17 that shit’s straight to DVD. That’s the unrated cut, with titties and shit. What the heck kind of theater is showing that? What cinema is this?

AMAYA!

AMAYA, ARE YOU FUCKING SHOWING NC-17 MOVIES?! YA FREAK! WHAT KIND OF PORNO THEATER SHIT ARE YOU RUNNING HERE?!

Okay but all jokes aside, after this Paulo reassures his sexuality for a moment when he bumps into a girl and...

flirts? I dun get it. Is this all it takes to remind him that he is also into chicks? Well that was easy, and...

wait...DID YOU POP A BONER? I-is that what’s going on here? What’s going on here? This feels really contrived, like it needed to be expanded upon more to make it organic. Anyway speaking of contrivances

Hello Mike, I see now why all this is happening. You see, I have a theory about this chapter and its purpose with having Paulo be bi. Actually, I have a few theories on its purpose, but one of them is that, this...all of this...is wind in the sails. Because, it may be too early to say this but I’m like 99% that this whole Paulo questioning his sexuality thing, isn’t going to lead anywhere. And before you fucking @ me about Jordan, let me ask you...did that really need to happen? Did it really change his character? Does this change Paulo’s views on his relationships, or potential relationships? Do you think this is going to affect his personality or actions in a non-hamfisted way? Cause call me cynical but I don’t. I don’t think it will. What I think this is for, and especially why Mike is going to be the one explaining to Paulo why it’s okay to be gay is because...

Taeshi wants to blow wind in the sails of people who ship Paulo with Mike...

And somewhere, somehow, in some dark secluded corner of the earth...A man named Raxki Yamato just had the biggest, sloppiest, most intense orgasm of his entire life...only a select few of you will probably get that joke.

Anyway, Mike takes Paulo to his house to tutor and...

W-was Paulo checking out Haley? That’s...admittedly weird.

Anyway, the story rears it’s face in again and imma keep it real with you chiefs...

I actually like this page. This part with Mike talking to Paulo about Sandy is really nicely done. It brings up a dynamic I actually didn’t quite realize between Paulo and Mike in that they both have had relationships where their girlfriend is often too busy to make time for them. And I really like this. I like their dialogue, it feels very in character, especially Paulo’s snarky quip in the above picture. I just love it.

aaaaaaaaaaaand we’re back on that gay shit again! But don’t worry, because I actually like this part.

This back and forth between Mike and Paulo, is exactly what I was talking about with the beginning of this chapter. This whole exchange works, having them going back and forth between uncomfortable conversation to light hearted banter is precisely how this whole thing should’ve been handled. And I really like how it’s handled here.

But anyway we finally end the chapter with a follow up scene with Rachel and

For real look at her. If I showed you this picture out of context, what would you guess her age? 12? 10? 8? Like for real, this shit is ridiculous.

But anyway, Paulo apologizes to Rachel for being stupid and taking it out on Matt, coming to the understanding that he doesn’t understand and that’s okay. And Rachel reistablishes herself as the saving grace of this comic once again and all is well.

Overall I give this chapter a 3/10. After all the shit I’ve heard about this chapter, I kinda expected it to be completely bad, but Taeshi didn’t shit the bed completely and there was some actually good moments in this chapter. But I still give it a 3 because 70% of this chapter was still bad. The beginning of this was insultingly convoluted, the middle bit was dumb and kind of pointless, and if it weren’t for the end bit where the characters actually felt like their characters I’d rate this even worse. But all in all, not all bad at least it’s not too insulting. The worst part of it is just that it feels pointless if not redundant. Because another theory I’ve heard spread about this chapter is that it was done to explain away Paulo’s homophobic behavior in past volumes, which to me is what really ruins this for me. Because, it is such a trope to have the homophobic character be homophobic because he’s secretly gay/bi. It’s fucking stupid, especially since you could’ve easily had a natural way of showing Paulo break away from his homophobic tendencies through Matt! In fact, that’s what I presumed was happening.

Paulo would just naturally not want to piss off Matt cause Matt’s a pretty cool guy, and friends with Rachel, so he’d try to not say homophobic shit, or maybe Matt would call him out on that stuff and Paulo would realize the pain his words cause and would learn the error of his ways, and naturally try to stop saying those things. But alas, this is how it goes, and in the end it gets a 3/10 it’s not like December bad, but it sets a precedence for this character that I know isn’t going to matter. And I guess TL;DR the best I could say about this chapter is:

(I was also gonna do the interlude here, but this shit is fucking LOOONG so I’ll do it for the next post. See you guys then)
