5 “I hate Christmas shopping.” - “I love Christmas shopping!” with chloe kelly.

There are only a few things you truly hate in life and shopping is one of them. You will happily do it online but in person, that is something you avoid.

“What do you mean you haven’t done your shopping?” Chloe shouts from the living room of your apartment.

“I didn’t need to. I found presents for you and your family and mine aren’t coming until the 28th hence why I am going out today”

To you it was simple and you worked better under pressure but by the look on your girlfriend’s face doing your Christmas shopping on Boxing Day isn’t the best idea.

The look on Chloe’s face is very familiar. It’s the one she gives you when you go in for a bad tackle or when you argue with the ref. It tells you that you are wrong and she is right.

“And it’s cheaper!” Your attempt at justifying your decision doesn’t work.

“It’s the Boxing Day sales idiot of course it cheaper. It’s also going to be busy and let me guess you want to go to Trafford centre”

“Yes, I do. If we go there then we don’t need to go anywhere else”

“Who said anything about we? I already have your family’s presents”

“Perfect! We can just add my name to the tag”

“Y/N your parents are flying all the way from Australia to spend New Years in London with us, the least you can do it buy them a gift” you go to interrupt but Chloe holds her hand up “and no, you are not getting them gift cards”

“Fine but please come with me” you give her your best puppy dog eyes knowing that they have never failed you in the past.

“Go get ready” Chloe pushes towards your bedroom.

“You’ll come with me?” your turn around excitedly.

“I can never say no to those eyes”

“The eyes Chica, they never lie” you quote one of your favourite films.

“That doesn’t even make sense. Now go” Chloe playfully smack your bum.

“I don’t care. I’ve always wanted to say it”

A couple of hours later and you are half way round the Trafford centre and it’s no surprise to you that your good mood soon soured when you entered the shopping centre. Chloe on the other hand seemed to be in her element and proved this by picking out most of your families gifts only including you when she needed your credit card at the checkout desk. Chloe had put you on pay duty and bag carrying duty.

After a quick food break and dropping the first load of presents back the car, Chloe is ready to hit the ground floor shops.

In your eyes you were done. Every family member that was visiting had a present, some had two yet Chloe kept telling you that you needed more.

“I hate Christmas Shopping” you were fully aware that you sounded like a child but you didn’t care. Your mood was worsening and your patience was running very thin.

Then you notice the shop that Chloe is pulling you into. Victoria’s Secret. More importantly into the lingerie department.

You watch her try several pieces on and you even get to pick some out. When you leave the shop you are in a much better mood.

“I love Christmas Shopping” you joke as you walk back to the car.

Amber Heard’s witnesses’ testimonies, part 1.

Day 16. Day 17.

iO Tillett Wright.

Wright testifies he lived with Heard between August 2013-June 2014. He says he stopped being friends with Depp in 2015.

Wright tells Depp's attorneys he never witnessed Depp physically abuse Heard. He goes on to say Depp, when sober, was lucid, imaginative, and a kindred connection.

Wright testifies he had a strong connection with Depp after meeting him at a "family dinner" Heard hosted.

He says Depp was very mean about Amber, saying Depp said: "All she's got are her looks, she's got no talent, when her t*** start to sag no one's going to want her for anything, so she'll need to find another way to survive."

He says Depp would become "very demeaning" towards Heard when he was drinking or taking drugs, saying Depp would say: "She was famous just because of her looks and because people wanted to have sex with her." Mr Tillett Wright also says Depp was derogatory about his fans, saying "he called them burrs which are sucker fish which attach themselves to the hull of a ship and make a hole in the side of it".He says Depp was also rude about his mother and his siblings, basically "anyone he felt had crossed him, he would become very nasty".

iO Tillett Wright, friend of Heard and Depp, testifies to hearing Depp say at his wedding to Heard: "We're married. Now I can punch her in the face and nobody can do anything about it."

the pictures of Amber with bruises and cuts were shown.

Heard's former friend, iO Tillett Wright, says he and Heard discussed the poop incident on the phone on 21 May 2016.

Tillett Wright testifies to hearing an altercation between Heard and Depp over the phone on May 21, 2016, in which Depp threatened Heard and Heard screamed, prompting Tillett Wright to call 9-1-1.

Raquel 'Rocky' Pennington

Ms Pennington is asked if she is still friends with Heard. After a very long pause she says: "We are not not friends."Ms Vasquez asks her what she means. Ms Pennington says: "We don't speak, we are not enemies. We grew apart."

She is asked if she ever had a physical altercation with Heard, and she says yes. She's asked to describe it and says: "I believe I pushed her. She either pushed or hit me back. I think it was on my cheek."

She says she witnessed Depp become "angry and aggressive" during an evening event around a campfire when on the trip. She says she had consumed mushrooms.She says it was there Depp became "angry and aggressive" with Kelly-Sue Molano. She says she thinks Ms Molano had also consumed "an amount" of mushrooms.Ms Pennington testifies she heard Depp say to Ms Molano: "Get off my woman." She says: "I think Kelly and Amber were hugging on a chair by the fire. [Depp] came out of nowhere."

she says: "It [the trailer] was trashed, it was torn apart." When asked if she saw Depp cause any of this damage, she says no, she did not.

Ms Pennington recalls seeing cuts on Heard's feet and arms but says she was not in Australia when she sustained these injuries.

Pennington describes a Thanksgiving dinner at the Eastern Columbia Building. She notes there was spilled wine "on the bed and on the ground" and that "there was glass everywhere."

Pennington later describes seeing Heard's head was "raw and red" with a chunk of hair missing. She also notes the area was bloody.

Ms Vasquez draws her attention to December 2015 when Heard called Ms Pennington over to her penthouse to check her injuries.

pictures were shown

Ms Pennington recalls Heard "showing" her makeup artist her lip and her hairstylist the missing hair on her head.

When asked if she ever personally saw Depp cause Heard injury, Ms Pennington says: "I didn't see it."

Asked if there was a name she used when referring to Depp's different self, she says: "We called it the monster."Mr Rottenborn asks Ms Pennington to clarify who she means by "we" and she goes on to say the term was used by herself, Heard, Depp and those in their inner circle.The lawyer asks: "You heard Johnny refer to this other version of himself as the monster directly?""Either heard or saw it written in a text," Ms Pennington responds.

"Towards the end when the physical abuse was more evident I was worried. I was worried for her physical safety, I was worried that when he turned he might do something that was worse than he intended."

She describes injuries on Heard's face. Pennington notes photos of the injuries were taken the night before she appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden. (December 2015).

She often had to cover bruises and injuries on her face with makeup. Rottenborn: Did you see her cover bruises on her face with makeup? Pennington: Yes.

I saw injuries on her body from the time directly after they happened throughout the next night, the next day and as they continued to heal.

May 21, 2016. Pennington testifies Heard yelled for help, which she had never done before. Pennington said she put her hands on Depp's chest and he pushed them away.

May 21, 2016 incident, saying Depp was "irate" and that she feared for Heard's life.

time for ep 7

where is sucy

studious akko is here

creature from the black lagoon refs

just a random screenshot cuz i noticed diana and barbara are at the front but kinda removed from everyone else, or at least diana is. wonder where hannah is

iconic diana shot (not gonna lie, i dont actually like this frame lmao)

akko moment

fuck off lady

imagining being thrown into a language class with a bunch of heritage speakers of that language and you’re the only one who’s never spoken it once in your life

all this rewatch is doing is making me really really appreciate akko lol

was about to say if a C is her worst grade shes not actually that bad of a student but then realized this is probably based off the japanese academic grading system wherein a C falls between 60–69% and thats a D in the US and i’m not even gonna bother trying to understand all the different UK-based grading systems lmao

akko face

lmao this is so stupid and yea its played up for laughs but like she did good! like cmon shes never tried magic before coming to luna nova so this is actually commendable

wish we could have seen what diana did lol

imagine going to witch school just to become a plastic surgeon

can we talk about alic kelly

imagine if we actually got an episode where amanda dragged everyone to a club lol

mushroom juice

good akko faces... also this scene was basically me in college any time i told myself i’d take a quick nap while pulling an all-nighter lol

yea

pipe bomb akko

akko just pissed off astrology girls everywhere

gotta wonder in which way diana’s prediction was supposed to go. like imagine if she was fucking around and meant it quite literally in that she would just leave campus versus hannah and barbara saying she’s gonna drop out

hell, imagine if diana saw her own shared future of akko going after her at the manor lol

still don’t understand how only akko gets in trouble here

lol akko

this is so dumb

how to uplift your students and definitely not bring down their self-esteem, a book by anne finnelan

ok a little admission to make here - the first time i watched this episode i was high and i could not stop laughing at the professor pisces reveal. this whole episode is def one of my favorites

the premise of this whole episode is just so absolutely ridiculous, i love it so much

akko you gay baby

like cmon this is probably the funniest fuckin scene in the entire series

just some looney toons level shit lmao

and props to asenshi for making this pun

do you think ursula thought she might lose her job during this episode?

this episode really solidified this as one of my all-time favorite series lmao

this is why she’s akko’s mom

she did it

esteemed luna nova professors

this episode is just one of the best episodes for showing off what a good little bean akko is. like they’d been screwed even worse if akko had listened to lotte and left the fish family to the poacher

ursula could’ve coward’d her way out of this like later on when akko goes missing, but...

... she stood up for her and despite everything else later on. and look at akko’s face at that 🥺

i didn’t notice for the longest time that every time we see a newspaper after episode 3, we get an update on the shooting star

get owned finnelan

not so fast

this must have been the most hellish week in entirety of akko’s life at luna nova

🥺 🥺 🥺

ok and thats it

i said it above, but this is for sure one of my favorite episodes of the series and it just encompasses a lot of what’s fun about lwa. idk to me when i first watched it, it was like a massive dose of serotonin while i was going through a bit of a very hectic and stressful time and just everything about the show was just something that made me happy

lol wow can’t believe the girl who strove to make people happy with her magic… makes people happy… with her magic

#gayanimeweed lwa re-watch party #ep 7

Elle’s Unsolicited Thoughts on BOSJ 30 Night 2

I finally finished watching it XD!

Pre: No hate to Kevin Kelly, but A) no Chris Charlton :( and B) single person commentary always sounds weird to me. Glad he at least has the onion with him so he doesn't get lonely!

Match 1 - Kushida vs. TJP: mostly skipped 😞 Kushi loss sad

Match 2 - Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Dan Moloney: skipped

Match 3 - Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Lio Rush: I'm gonna be honest, I refuse to skip this match mostly because I need to see if Taguchi stays serious or not, I'm hooked. Otherwise I would have skipped it simply because I only have so much time and there is so much wrestling. During Lio's entrance they mentioned him being attacked by Evil yesterday, and like this is the oldest of news but I still can't even that they just have a wrestler named EVIL. Oh. Okay we have TJP on commentary idk if I can do this. He just irks me as a character. 😞 Poor Taguchi. TJP did not annoy me as much as I thought he would, at least so far. The continuing building lore of the onion lol.

Match 4 - Clark Connors vs. Robbie Eagles: Seriously need ZSJ's son to stop being cute on the ring apron.

Match 5 - Sho vs. Mike Bailey: Hehe, I hope Bailey kills him. HAHA I'M GOING TO FIGHT SHO FOR ATTACKING BAILEY WITH THE CHAIR BEFORE THE MATCH WHY ISN'T ANYONE STOPPING HIM HAHA GIVE ME A HAMMER, PAC. I'm going to shove Sho's wrench up his ass for attacking Speedball with it. DO Y'ALL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER REFS THAT AREN'T BUSY RN BECAUSE THIS GOING ON ON A LONG TIME WITH THE CHEATY CHEATING. Speedball still wins!!! YEAH!! Young Lions can we get the ref some ice please? Speedball using the chair as a cane 😢.

Match 6 - Kevin Knight vs. Francesco Akira: skipped

Match 7 - Titán vs. Taiji Ishimori: Pretty pretty Taiji, pretty Taiji. Can he not look directly into the camera I am FRAGILE. Why does his hair look so soft. I'm feeling so normal about him. Sidenote, TJP's comments on Titán were interesting to hear. TJP and Kevin Kelly memeing about Finlay sitting in an office, going over BC's paperwork to evaluate them lol. KEVIN KELLY POINTING OUT THAT GEDO IS THE ONE RUNNING BC.

Match 8 - El Desperado vs. Bushi: skipped

Match 9 - Hiromu Takahashi vs. Douki: Well I made post about how I DIED during his entrance, so let's just pick up from there. He took the jacket off and it's worse now because his pretty arms are out. He is bouncing around so full of energy it's so cute. I love seeing the Daryls and other Takahashi family in the crowd during Hiromu's entrance. I miss not having Chris on commentary to tell us what Hiromu's book says. OH MY GOSH SUDDEN CLOSE UP OF DOUKI SO PRETTY. I"m fine this is fine. Can we never let him wear my favorite color again please? The way he MOVES. Douki Chokey!! MAINTAINING WRIST CONTROL AND TRANSITIONING SO SMOOTHLY. Okay like I KNOW they're not gonna put Douki over the champ on night 2 BUT THESE NEAR COUNTS HAVE ME OUT OF BREATH TRULY I CANNOT BREATHE. Gosh, like Douki did SO WELL and fought SO HARD and I knew he wouldn't win against the champ on night 2 but OH MY THAT WAS INTENSE.

Just the main event. Wato and Yoh. Not sure I can handle it right now. OOPS HAHA POST MATCH ANGY DISHELVED DOUKI okay we're good now.

Match 10 - Yoh vs. Master Wato: If Yoh can stop with the cocky facial expression and put his tongue away that would be appreciated. The fact that his "ring jacket" atire has THREE SEPARATE LAYERS he has to remove before the match is so Yoh. OH MY GOSH HIS. HIS. And he's so. Is he. The LIKE. SASS? THE BRIDGE ALDKFJALDKJFA . Wato's tights are so elegant and intricatnly patterned. YOH IS POSING TO TAUNT. Still can't believe he's bearing his calves. DOES WATO HAVE A SCAR ON HIS SIDE? Gosh Yoh's movemensts are just so fluid. These two are really fun to watch work with each other. WHERE IS YOH GOING LOL HE JUST JOGGED OFF. He's talking a stroll alkdjaldkj. Is Yoh gonna turn heel (maybe it's already happened since I'm only on Night 2), I'm not sure I'll survive that. THAT TAKEDOWN. 🥺🥺Yoh patting the little boy's head🥺🥺 TJP referred to Yoh's arm/shoulder that Wato was targeting as his "hurt wing" and now I'm imagining bird Yohhhhh Sidenote: I love Red Shoes Wato lying in pain on the mat😞 I'd like a dozen more of these two against each other please. Yoh just did the most dramatic drop sell, I love him. WATO DON'T PULL ON HIS CUSTOM JEAN TRUNKS. THAT POISONRANA. OKAY THAT'S A STRONG HIT ALKDJALDKJ. DIRECT DRIVE THIS HAS GOTTA BE IT. Love a cover where the winner is JUST AS EXHAUSTED AS THE OPPONENT THAT MAN IS DED. Gosh he's so pretty. They're both so talented and I love them, amazing main event!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOH FREAKING ROLLLING BACK INTO THE RING WITH THE MIC AND JUST LIKE. FLAILING AROUND LMAO WHAT ARE YOU DOING. Oh he's standing now OH HE'S SCREAMING NOW LOL "Eloquently put" -TJP lol. I wish Chris was here to translate what Yoh was yelling about, but from what I can tell he's being a bit of a diva lol. He sure does love to yell this boi. He's walking to the back so sassily aldkjaldkja.

"For TJP and the Onion, I'm Kevin Kelly" lmao

Two updated refs for my oc Nicole Reyes a.k.a. Pierrot! I'm also going to include a bio of them as now I have come up with a more detailed backstory.

Age: 15 years 3 months (by the time of season 3)

Pronouns: they/them

Occupation: supervillain apprentice, high school student

Nicky was an orphan and a pickpocket when they first met Sirque at the age of 9. The latter saw herself in the child due to them having a habit of stealing, and that their upbringing was unfortunately similar to hers, and so she decided to take it upon herself to take care of them with Hobby, her roommate at the time, and teach them acrobatics and some martial arts while she was at it.

Nicky's training continued for five years until Sirque decided to leave for San Fransokyo to become a full-time criminal. But, Nicky didn't want to go to San Fransokyo, so Sirque went alone, but made it clear that they are welcome to stay with her should they change their mind.

Three months later, Nicky went to San Fransokyo to check on their mentor. But shortly after their arrival they got into an accident, which landed them in the hospital for a good while and resulted in them losing their left ear's hearing. It is also that moment when Sirque decided to teach them sign language for communicating with different people. And both mentor and student knew that the new skill could also come in handy when they commit heists in the future as the melancholic clown thief in purple, black and white: Pierrot.

Asides from Sirque, Nicky made a number of new friends upon arriving at San Fransokyo. Their mentor's teammates Momakase and Cobra, and also Hiro due to him receiving training from Momakase. Nicky's relationship with the boy genius is full of banter, bragging and pranks, and they would sometimes go as far as to scam small amounts of money from Hiro (Sirque does not approve, Momakase encourages it, Cobra really encourages it) or to speak French on purpose as an attempt to mess with him. However, as time passes, Nicky eventually came to see Hiro as family the more they get to know him. And Hiro also knew more things about his sibling that they don't usually like talking about.

--------

And last but not least, voice actor meme time.

Nicky's VA is Kelly Marie Tran. Why? Because Nicky is amazing, and Kelly is amazing.

Have a nice day folks!

5.18 So that was a lot!

Posting without editing, so apologies for any errors. I am running on barely any sleep, but really wanted to get this written while I could.

Overall impressions were great episode .... but again there were issues for me. However I will address them as I go through my thoughts on it all, and please don't think I am trying go bring this episode down. I'm not. It really was great! I just still see things that haven't been done that could've easily occurred to appease fans further or are examples of why 5b has been so problematic for me.

The opening was good, in that they actually explained that Leviathan were no longer at the location they'd used in Earth 38 before Crisis. These little pointers are what have been missed a lot this season (a couple of examples later ref Kelly). Too often it's been, we need to find their location; no explanation as to why that is.

Now onto the whiplash with Kara and her anger towards Lena.

Kara is angry over Lena being at the fortress and the reaction over her use of Myriad. Alex is the one actually acknowledging Myriad is a trigger for Lena.

Alex, who suddenly starts defending Lena? Then Kara is convincing herself Lena is involved with Lex. Look, I get that she would feel suspicious, I get she has the right to feel angry. But it is this sudden, seemingly out of nowhere anger, not recognising the good in Lena she has staunchly defended until now. With Alex understanding Lena's position.

As I say, I'm not saying Kara doesn't have a right to be hurt and angry. But to see such a quick role reversal in the Danvers sisters in how they're talking about Lena? That is what I find difficult to get my head around.

I don't expect Kara to be there fully defending Lena as she has done. But this just feels OOC yet again. This really isn't normal for Kara. We've seen her angry and feeling betrayed by those closest to her before, but you could see how it built. Understanding as to why those actions left Kara feeling like she did (Astra and J'onn anyone?)

Did I mention whiplash? Because, whiplash.

But it is good to see Kara once again around a table brainstorming with most of the Superfriends. Using her intelligence and skills to try and figure things out.

Nia is also finally able to be involved properly. I still feel annoyed Nia isn't really in CatCo at all these days, because as much as I love seeing her as Dreamer, I want to see Nia as more than just a Superhero. I want to see her continuing as a journalist, and like Kara, use both skills together when feasible.

The Tower is actually getting used (those computers aren't simply sitting there looking pretty). How many episodes has it taken to see this used properly for more than a brief scene? Too long.

M'gann is back. I love M'gann, and despite still feeling angry that they had J'onn throw her into a DEO cell, with no due process simply for being a White Martian, I've always enjoyed the dynamic between the two characters, and it wasn't a surprise they kissed. Although god damn it, where was our Dansen kiss. Even a hug? But onto Dansen in a bit.

Alex got into some action. That car hood slide?! Phew. It is suddenly very hot in here. We certainly wouldn't complain if they throw a few more of those hood slides in future episodes.

This is the sort of thing a lot of fans love Alex for. Her kick ass, throwing herself around best.

Plus the scene with Kara in the library just before that, also had the Danvers sisters vibe we have just missed a lot this season, especially 5b.

The DEO being destroyed. Of course we knew it was coming, but it was still good to see the whole sequence of action leading up to it. Kara jumping through that window! Day. Made.

The Nia and Brainy scenes though. My poor Brainia heart. Actually the way Nia and Kara turned and walked away outside after the collapse of the DEO .... oof. Understandable but still gut wrenching. The parallels to Lena and Kara, with Brainy and Nia are also there. God damn it, what is with all this pulling apart relationships and friendships on the show this season.

Kelly, while still frustrated she is working with William, in this episode it made more sense, as Nia and Kara were out doing Superhero things. I've said for ages though, William really isn't needed to simply stand over Kelly's shoulder as she does her thing. Okay, so he realised an image inducer was being used, but if Kelly was working this on her own, (with the Superfriends at The Tower), you can't tell me she wouldn't have been giving the footage the same level of detailed going over that William was. Nothing in those scenes couldn't have been done without him. Kelly is far more capable to do this. She is ex-military for gods sake.

Which leads me onto Dansen, but also Alex.

Once again we had them acknowledge that as ex-military Alex was finding it difficult to adjust. I broached this in an earlier piece I wrote when J'onn and Alex were talking about it. I would've far preferred Kelly had that conversation with her girlfriend, at home. That end scene with Dansen was great, but the dialogue with Kelly's ex-army buddy - that should've been Kelly when Alex says her actions led to it happening. That whole segment had Kelly and Alex talking written all over it. Another wasted opportunity of so many this season. It is especially galling as we've had so little meaningful Dansen content. That small change would've made a huge difference. Plus no hug? No kiss? M'gann and J'onn get one, but once again Dansen don't, and they don't even get the intimacy of a hug. It is ridiculous. And people wonder why fans have had increasing issue of the LGBTQ storylines. Or rather lack thereof.

Which brings me to my other bugbear from this season. Does Kelly know Kara is Supergirl? I mean I think she does after last weeks episode, which I've covered at the time. But that is only conjecture on what we saw, not what we know for certain. Where is Alex getting her income from? Is J'onn paying her, and if so, where is he getting the income from? Are Kelly and Alex actually living together? Because Kelly sure as hell looked comfortable in Alex's apartment, and Alex certainly looked as if Kelly not only was expected to be there, but belonged there. I know we can't get every minute detail about their lives, but these aren't small things. Plus it would only take brief dialogue to explain what the situation really is.

As for Alex becoming a vigilante. I will be honest, I've never been overly comfortable with vigilantes in shows, however they are littered throughout The Arrowverse. In fact, without them most Arrowverse shows wouldn't exist. As for the support of Kelly, that was a pleasant change. She understood the difficulties Alex faced, and offered a solution. After all, she has the Guardian shield. Whether she becomes her own version of Guardian I guess we wait and see. But since Alex needs to try and stop both Lex and Leviathan and has no other means to do it effectively, a vigilante is the most logical step. After all, isn't that what they've all been doing since Alex left the DEO? They just haven't placed a name to it until now.

Time to go onto Lex and Lena. Possible trigger warning here.

"You're a monster. But that doesn't mean I have to be one to."

First off. Jon Cryer and Katie McGrath were masterful in the scene where it all came to a head in the prison. Despite my misgivings of the overuse of Lex this season, there is no doubt this is why he is so good! His emotional range just came shining through. Just as Katie McGrath's did.

Him getting up into her face like he did, and her flinching. Here is what I tweeted about it: "Listen, I've been in an IPV relationship. I can't speak for victims of family abuse and if they grow up in the same way, but the way Lena flinched in this scene. That was me when my ex did what Lex did. That was real.

Katie McGrath's shone in tonight's episode."

Katie just completely nailed it. This is when I wish I could just stand there and tell her just how amazing that scene was. The same for Jon.

Those who have denied time and again Lena wasn't a victim of abuse, or it didn't excuse her for her actions in how Lex manipulates her, this is why we spoke about it. This is the victim of abuse. If she wasn't expecting that to escalate into a violent reaction, then that scene wouldn't have happened like it did. She was expecting the blow. That whole scene was visceral. I'm still trying to get to grips with how once again, the acting just brings through a depth so often lacking. So please spare me the excuses of she isn't a victim of abuse. That scene is canon now to the story. Between Lex last season, and this leaves no room for doubt, and if you do - you're not doing it for any other reason than to simply hate on Lena.

That last scene with Kara and Lena. Fucking finally! It's only taken 18 episodes to get there. Again I am still frustrated Kara is being so defensive against Lena, but I also do kind of understand it. She is also feeling hurt and no doubt worried. Is Lena trying to trick her again, like she had earlier in the season. Will she get her heart ripped out if Lena is presenting her with an act. Trust goes both ways, and both of them have found it difficult to reestablish it. I get that. I really do. Again though I just wish it hadn't taken until 5.18 for any kind of resolution between them to begin. Even if it had gone to the 20 episode season as planned, we couldn't get time to really get this sorted. Kara needs to let Lena explain why Lena did what she did with more than that speech. She needs to understand just how abusive the relationship is between Lex and Lena, and why to some degree Lena fell back into old habits like she did. Much like we had Lena and Andrea get that backstory, to really help show why Lena has trust issues, Kara and Lena now need to lay those cards out on the table in a similar way. No more hiding. Sadly I doubt we will get anything of that depth, and we certainly won't this season. But it is a start and that's more than I could've hoped for before the episode began.

Lastly, William getting black bagged by Eve. I wonder if her anger at Lex will make her use William as a pawn to gain revenge? Or will she let William know Lex was the one who has fed William those details, or activated him? Still a weird ass way to describe it by the way. But we will see. Honestly, William as a whole holds absolutely no interest for me. So I didn't even find myself reacting to what happened. It was ... meh.

And that's it for now. I've almost certainly forgotten something, but it was a lot to take in this episode.

Overall, I felt this episode was far better than some of what we've seen so far this season, particularly in 5b. It certainly leaves me looking forward to 5.19 with less dread than of late.

Hermione for the character ask! 🧙‍♀️

Hi!! Tysm for the ask :)))

Hermione Granger, aka my idol in my teen years.

Favorite thing about Hermione

So, a generic response would be something like "oh her strength" or "oh her brains" and while those things are really great parts about her, the thing that I like most about Hermione is that she's not afraid to stand up for herself when she faced bigotry. If I remember correctly, she had always stood up for herself and never took anyone's crap -- in the same vein, she always called everyone out. I feel like this is a really important and amazing part of her character because it's really hard to always be ready to confront others and stand up for yourself, she makes a really good role model.

Least Favorite thing about Hermione

Oh see, I have two right off the bat answers to that - what least favorite thing? She's great? (Keep in mind I did read the series when I was quite young, everything is put through rose-colored glasses, so to speak). My second answer was her relationship with Ron or in general, the way it developed. From the way I remember it, Ron constantly made fun of Hermione on multiple occasions, this going to a point where Harry was exasperated in having to deal with their drama, and then in the Half-Blood Prince, it turns out she actually has a crush on him? I don't understand it. And honestly, I don't like it.

Favorite Line/Quote

So this took quite a bit of sleuthing but I remembered the general gist of the quote I wanted to use.

“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have!”

Or something along the lines of this.

Obviously, Hermione's had many more impactful and meaningful lines that I could've chosen - why did I choose this one?

It's just so funny. And like extra points to a person who could slip this quote into a bit of conversation.

BrOTP

I actually don't have a brOTP for Hermione - I love her friendship with the Golden Trio but it just doesn't hit the bar for me: some really good brOTP's I have are Matteo and Gaston, Percy and Grover, Jason and Nico, Meredith and Christina (Soy Luna, PJO, HoO and Grey's Anatomy, for those confused with the refs). If I did have to pick a friendship of Hermione's I liked and wished was explored more it would be Hermione and Luna, Hermione and Ginny, or Hermione and Neville.

OTP

Again, for Hermione, none of her major love interests really stick out to me, but if I did have to choose - Harry.

This, I've learned, is quite an unpopular opinion, so let me explain.

Even as children, Harry respected and thought of Hermione as his equal and friend, and often came to her for advice. He respected her knowledge whereas Ron (I'm not currently counting Krum as a contender, sorry) ridiculed her in the beginning.

But okay, going on - I just loved reading their friendship scenes, and when I watched the movies, again, loved the scenes.

and going on, I feel like (this is movie-specific) that there was always more chemistry with Harry and Hermione, rather than Ron, and again (move specific) the tent dancing scene was so adorable.

nOTP

Dramione.

So this is another two-pronged response.

Draco Malfoy is a horrible person. In the books, he called Hermione slurs, bullied her numerously, and was just horrific to a lot of people. To want Hermione to be with him, with all of this in mind is really hard for me to fathom.

Now for the second prong of the response.

Dramione could've worked, in another world in which the HP books went a different route. If Draco had gone the same way as Sirius Black did - realizing that his family's values were not his, and running away, Dramione would've worked. In this universe, we could've acknowledged Draco's home life and family life, watched him unlearn the bigotry ingrained into his life, and start a friendship with Harry and Hermione. This way, Dramione would've been a good contender for one of my OTP's. Alas, this is not the case, and Draco's storyline went a much different route.

Random Headcanon

Hermione really likes Gilmore Girls & Autumn.

I can't explain why but it just feels right to me.

Unpopular Opinion

See above: I don't like Romione

A song I Associate with Them

Behind these Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson

So, if you've never heard this song before, please go listen to it!!!!

I think this really fits Hermione because she has to always be strong but she is also vulnerable - it also fits her anger that I think she would have.

Also, There Are Worse Things I Could Do - Grease.

I just think it really fits.

Favorite Picture

I don't want to repost any fanart, so I am going to put in a picture from the movie that I really like.

I feel like this is self-explanatory as to why this pic is superior.

*this got so long sorry!!!*

#this was so fun!!!#sapphire asks #:)

Personality: Jora is described as a super sweet if timid and shy young woman with a deep respect for life. However she bottles up a lot of her negative emotions which sometimes makes her a doormat or she ends up being really icy. She learns to beyter express her negativity, though she does retain emotional sensitivity time to time.

In the OS Jo had to overcome one of her biggest flaws, Bystander Syndrome, in order to protect herself and her friend. Throughout thr series she becomes more assertive, though she dislikes sounding too mean.

While she adheres to the theme of second chances, she has little tolerance for faking and betrayals and wants people to actively work on making amends or changing their ways. She knows that some people can't change, so instead of active revenge she would rather let the person's actions catch up to them, or hold them accountable. She despises assumptions that she's evil just because of her powers. She admits to harboring some resentment, but over time she learned to accept her condition and adapt to it rather creatively.

Likes & Hobbies: Designing her own costumes, watching trashy TV programs, reading, mycology, nature walks, flower pressing, DIY projects, casual/virtual pet gaming, fashion design, Green Cleaning, apple pie, chocolate and strawberry milkshakes, tea with sugar and cream, travel, meditation, quiet time

Dislikes: False accusations and slander, being picked on, people touching her hair without her permission, senseless destruction of nature, animal abuse, forcing someone to tell the truth if they're not comfortable, being pitied for her condition, spicy food, arguing and being made fun of for girly traits

Powers and Abilities

- Rot Inducement

- Fungi Manipulation

- Poison & Toxin Immunity

- Self Regeneration

- Minor Chronokinesis/Acceleration

- Athleticism

- Empathy

- Self Defense/dagger fighting style

Items: Amanita Staff & Pixie Daggers; handmade costumes

Strengths: Can regenerate limbs, slow the rate of decay, empowered by Phoenix Element, controls intensity of powers, incredibly strong against plant/nature elements, tenacity

Weaknesses: Powers are incredibly weak on glass, metals, rocks and minerals, and generally any type of syntheric or inorganic material. She also cannot complete shut this power off

Relationships

Family: Jeremy (father), Mavis (mother) Latasha (sister) Pattibelle (cousin) Ginger (family friend); Kendrix & Kenny and Belle (future kids), extended family

Friends: Team 10, Cooper, Substitute Plumbers (future), Zak, Wadi, Rex

OC Friends: Myra Hopewell, Azura, Kelly Arbol, Richard Mortis, Temika, Mama Gia, Shadé

Enemies: Pretty much the canon villains XD

OC Enemies: Kudzu, Mara Winters/Ice Queen, Cinnabar Rojo, Forever Princess, Mycopath/Cora Holiday, Guardians of Light, Supernatural/elemental threats

Love Interests: Ben Tennyson

Ship Name: Cosmic Toadstool or BenJo

Ben Tennyson is her major love interest, starting from a brief tense rivalry from their first meeting. Over time they began to see they had common ground and developed more friendly relations by the end. The Ben 10000 episode is particularly amusing in that BOTH of them were quite disgusting at the implication that their older selves dated each other. Ironically it was their older selves watching their example that lowkey led to them getting back together.

They restarted their friendship in Omniverse albeit clumsily as both hadn't seen nor heard from each other in several years. Not to mention new problems: Jora hadn't quite got over her shyness and was socially awkward, and Ben swore off romance after too many failed relationships ego and wanting to focus on his hero career. Layer seasons would see the two began to grow a romantic attraction to each other, with them getting together post series. I kinda didn't want them together right at the end of s8 to drive home the point of them navigating a romance and not just "fighting fate" or what not. So they'll get together on THEIR own terms.

Backstory: Jora appears in the original show as a recurring character and ally to the Tennysons. The joke is that her family, who were also on a cross-country road trip, would often show up at the exact same city or town the Tennysons would be in.

Original Series: Unlike Ben and Gwen, the timid Jo was born with her powers but was afraid of them as she could barely keep it in check. She also didn't start out friendly with the two having been put off by their constant quarreling. It wasn't until an encounter with Kevin Levin (hint: KIDNAP) where she tried using her powers to defend herself and Four Arms for the first time. It didn't exactly work out leaving her ashamed for being a bystander, and decided to remedy this by practicing her powers for better use. This leads up to the Camp Fear event where she played a huge part in containing and eventually purifying the corrupted Mycellium (and yes corrupted; there's something bigger going on).

There were a couple of more adventures: goinf to Chicago to meet up with her cousins Patti and Ginger for a music fesitval; time travel shenanigans, fighting Rojo and her niece Cinnabar, & battling the the Negative 10. Her relationship with Ben and Gwen also greatly improved to the point where they became genuine friends near the end of the show.

UAF: After the road trip ended, she parted ways with the Tennysons and headed back to her hometown of Anneville,S.C. While not fully copinf with her powers she had a rejuvenated sense of self confidence and decided to find more uses for her powers. This included clearing away invasive plant species around town, going into homes and clearing away toxic molds, and dabbling into the scientific side of her powers. She maintained contact with the Tennysons until a few years when life started to get too busy for any of them to remain in contact.

It was also at this point Jora would learn about the scorn "dark" elementals would face, as well as a conflict between dark elementals just wanting to live their lives in peace and a group called the Temple of Light. The Temple's goal was to rid the world of all evil but took rather underhanded methods to do it. Jo would also briefly battle a faction of Forever Knights led by her contemporary Forever Princess, and villainous entrepreneur Kudzu.

Omniverse: Six years passed and Jora got a request from Max Tennyson to join a new "initiative." She turned it down, feeling that she wasn't suited for actual superheroics and wanting to focus on her studies. She was also afraid of seeing her old friends; a small part of her wondered if they'd still recognize her after so many years.

A few weeks later Patti planned on moving to Bellwood for her new job. Jora came with her to help her move in, & it was that trip where she and Ben reunited, and met his new partner Rook Blonko. Ben mentioned about his grandfather picking out new teammates to protect Bellwood. Jora admitted that max sent her a letter but she turned him down for personal reasons. Feeling rather disappointed Ben states that there's always an open spot for her.

During her stay Jora and Rook were taken around town to get familiar with each other and the sites. Rook was curious about her relationship with Ben which she replies that they go way back but hadn't really talked to each other in years. Much of season one and two is spent with her and Ben awkwardly reconnecting. Eventually she becomes a bit of a consultant for the Plumbers and a major member of Team 10, further developing her friendship with Rook, and something much deeper with Ben.

Post Series: Jora's experiences leads her to try to form a villain rehab group, succeeding by forming the Substitute Plumbers. She also begins to use her status and fame to raise awareness on multiple issues from gentrification to widespread Plumber corruption. After a brief breakup and working solo, She and Ben 10000 reconciled and within a year of two married and had three kids over the span of ten more years. Jora became a consultant specializing in Earth customs.

Trivia

- Voice Claim is Kimberly Brooks

- Her theme is nature to contrast with Ben's aliens and Gwen's magic

- Also a bit ironic: she's a good character who protects and values life yet has a power linked to death/dying.

- Doesn't really have a signature color though she does wear a lot of white accents as white symbolizes death in some cultures

- She was made 1) because I'm salty B10 didn't have a named black girl character & 2) to give Ben a compelling/fleshed out love interest

- Jora has a Reboot counterpart! Largely the same except now she's a main fixture right from rhe beginning and has a slightly different power set

- She's not present in every single episode of the original; those times she'd be off with her family doing their own thing

- Her verse is called the Joraverse since it's a complete rewrite of the OS and OV as a whole (not strictly related to her btw but I'm also salty at more than a fee b10 things)

- Her alternate counterparts has different elements, personalities and even designs!

- If she existed her theme song would be the Japanese cover of Say So by Rainych

- Much of Jo's character is based on Card Captor Sakura since I've always been a fan of that show

- Just like how Ben has different aliens Jora has different costumes with different themes.

- In OV her costumes signify each color of the rainbow and has a pun of some sort. She even earns special items with different properties (elemental spells, alien tech, token of peace).

- While Jora appreciates all of Ben's forms she has a certain fondness for Four Arms and Grey Matter (he rescued her as Four Arms and she finds Grey Matter adorable)

The Masked Singer Season 4 Episode 8: Group B Finals with *GASP* a Double Elimination (Commentary and Guesses)

Hello my fellow fans of the Masked Singer! Welcome (or welcome back) to Ana’s Masked Singer Recap where I, Ana, recap every episode of the Masked Singer. It’s that time again, Group B Finals time... so last week I changed up the format for these recaps due to the smackdown but this week there is no smackdown but there is a double elimination so we will be talking about 2 eliminated contestants instead of 1 this time, and oh boy I have a lot to say about one of them in particular, but we’ll get there when we get there. Anyways, let’s just get started, shall we? (please remember to like, comment your guesses/what you think, and follow for more Masked Singer fun)

The Group B Finals was a bit different with 4 contestants instead of 3 battling it out for 2 spots in the Super Six...

The 4 contestants were Whatchamacallit 👁, Serpent 🐍, Seahorse 🐠, and Crocodile 🐊

First, the 2 who got eliminated were:

* DRUMROLL PLEASE*

Serpent 🐍 and Whatchamacallit 👁

Ok, so let’s start with the unsurprising eliminatation aka:

Whatchamacallit 👁

Performance/Commentary: Ok, even though he isn’t my favorite of the 4 (he’s actually my least favorite), he did a great job, it was a fun performance ngl. It was great, even though I predicted that he would leave, I still enjoyed his performance of Lean Back by Terror Squad.

Having said that, the Whatchamacallit was revealed to be (as I suspected):

Lonzo Ball

Yayyyy I knew it (by the way so did Ken, and he went NUTS, it was hilarious).... So here are the clues that gave this guy away lol:

High school prom thing: he actually met his gf/baby momma as the package said when he was a sophomore and she was a senior and she was his prom date

The Friend/Family was a high school teacher dressed as a whistle = reference to what a ref would use in Basketball since he is a 🏀 player

(Ok so there was a clue from a mask from the past with a connection to them.... so I will showcase both the mask from the past of MS and the clue delivered aka the game changing clue) Mask from the past: Ice Cream aka YouTuber/streamer Ninja who Lonzo Ball beat playing Fortnite in a live stream

Game changing clue: he has won a championship = um, yeah self explanatory, he has won basketball championships in UCLA and as an LA Laker

Ok, now elimination #2 aka the elimination I have a lot to say about:

Serpent 🐍

Commentary/Performance: His performance of Cool by the Jonas Brothers was a change of pace for him I am not gonna lie. It was fun and upbeat, something he hasn’t done before on the show. I honestly don’t think this was his best performance, because his voice is more well suited for ballads, and powerful ones at that. I still really enjoyed this tho.

Ok so Serpent was revealed to be:

Dr. Elvis Francois

Ok, I kind of figured it out last minute. Here’s my piece: I said it was Leslie Odom Jr and I really wanted it that to be the case (yo Leslie you better do it next season... I would die if you did), a bunch of people in the comments on YouTube told me it’s Dr. Elvis and I was like nope not him I bet... and I was wrong, I kind of got it this week with the clues & the preview where Ken was crying (here are the clues):

Good Mayo clue= he works at the Mayo Clinic as an orthopedic surgeon

Multiple medical clues= again I say, he works as a surgeon

Peanut butter, banana clues= his namesake, Elvis, like Elvis Presley who is known to like peanut butter and banana sandwiches

Mask from the Past: Eagle aka Dr. Drew = honestly, do I gotta explain this one? DOCTOR 👨‍⚕️, hello?! He’s a Dr as well

Game Changing Clue: he sang with one of the judges before = he actually did sing with Nicole on After the Mask at the beginning of the pandemic

Alright now that’s over, time to celebrate/guess the remaining 2 going into the super 6:

1. Crocodile 🐊

Performance: ok, I feel like Crocodile has kind of fallen under the radar but this was honestly his best performance yet! He sang Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis, a classic early 2000s song, and it was amazing. It showed off his vocal range that he hasn’t showed off before and it really made him a very great competitor, it was so close between him and serpent

I am still guessing that Croc is...

Nick Carter

Reason I think this is because of the clues:

New Kids on the Block clues (Step By Step reference) = Backstreet Boys toured with them all over the world

Mask from the past: Bee aka Gladys Knight = they collaborated together on an album, Knight and Carter

Game Changing Clue: was in a cult classic movie= he was an extra in Edward Scissorhands

2. Seahorse 🐠

Performance: As you guys probably know from watching my previous recaps, she is one of my favorite contestants on the show, I love her so much, and her performance of Baby One More Time by Britney Spears didn’t disappoint. Omg it was the best performance of the night for sure! She really knows how to impersonate Britney Spears so well, it’s crazy, I loved it

As for my guess for Seahorse, I am gonna stick with...

Tori Kelly

Here’s why, cue the clues:

Gospel, Spiritual Advisor, Church Clues= she’s a very devout Christian

Guitar, Nashville chicken= she plays guitar all the time when she’s performing (hell that pic of her I used above, she is legit holding a guitar, how obvious could that be) and the Nashville thing is because she does write a lot of country songs there

Christmas Wreath= she just released a Christmas Album, A Tori Kelly Christmas, earlier this year in October

2 Babies= she sang the song Baby Baby with Amy Grant

Mask from the Past: Astronaut aka Hunter Hayes = she beat him when she won the show America’s Most Talented Kid back when they were kids and I think she might have performed with him, there is a country connection between the 2

Game Changer Clue: Never been in a girl group = yup, Tori Kelly never has been in a girl group (look it up... that was a Ken impression if you didn’t get that)

Alright so that’s it, whew that was an interesting recap right there, anyways I can’t wait to see Group C next week! I’ll see you all then, bye guys! Don’t forget to like, comment, and follow for more Masked Singer content (and any other pop culture content you want me to do... when this is over, The Masked Dancer would be next so be on the look out for that late December 😆)

RELEASE BLITZ

Title: The Scout

Author: Carina Rose

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Single Mom/Second Chance/Small Town

Release Date: October 3, 2023

My GR Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5881516156

My Amazon Review: https://www.amazon.com/review/RN5JSMO0522D4/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv

BLURB

From Carina Rose comes a sexy second-chance, single-mom romance.

Hannah

I suppose it was unfair of me to assume Cash Jameson would be my forever. The golden boy of Blossom Berry Falls went from high school baseball star to the major leagues. Then he broke my heart.

So many times I wanted to tell him about our son, but fate stepped in, and years went by. Being a single mom has been my biggest accomplishment. Though it hasn’t always been easy, the joys of being a mom have granted meaning to the pain of losing Cash.

Now, fifteen years later, we meet again thanks to our high school reunion's alumni baseball game. Cash had no way of knowing that the young pitcher who struck him out was his son. But after he showed up at the door scouting the ace for the major leagues, I have no doubt he experienced the shock of his life.

Cash

Saying goodbye to Hannah was the hardest thing I’d ever done. Afraid of causing more pain, I never intended to set foot back in Blossom Berry Falls. Yet the draw of the alumni baseball game . . . and the chance to see Hannah again . . . were too powerful to resist.

After spotting Hannah in the stands, my heart sparked to life. I’d thought of her over the years but heard she’d moved on. Rather than harp on what could have been, I focused on the future—namely, the kid with the nasty curveball.

His control reminded me of myself at that age. Turned out there was a good reason for that . . . the young prodigy was the son I never knew I had. I’d missed so much of his life and refused to miss more.

Could the three of us to be a family? Or were the wounds of our past too deep to heal?

AUTHOR BIO

Carina Rose loves everything about romance. She loves writing about swoony heroes and feisty heroines. Her sweet romance books were in the top 100 on Apple Books and Barnes & Noble (Nook).

She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband who she knew was “the one” the day she met him. She also has two sons who own her heart. When she’s not writing, her pastimes include spending time with her family, traveling, reading, golfing, cooking, and baking. Carina also enjoys watching sports and is especially passionate about the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys.
