Hey, so I was hospitalised for two weeks. I'm so sorry I never posted anywhere, I don't really wanna use Twitter anymore as my main platform and try as I might to get into my tumblr it just wouldn't let me. But, I got discharged today. I'm home and I'm ok!
I don't really remember how much I've posted about it here exactly, but I have a silly little thing called "Ulcerative Colitis" and about a month ago it kicked off, flaring up baaaad. I went 2 weeks trying to push through it before caving and going to A&E, getting my usual treatment to tackle it... But I got worse. I went from "cant sit at my desk" to "cant get out of bed or eat", so I threw in the towel.
Turns out, my treatment before this wasn't actually responding to my body at all. I've been tackling this whole year with nothing really working to put my UC into remission which suuuuuuucks so bad.
But now I'm home, I'm stable again. Of course this hospital trip had a lot of ups and downs. Like... a lot. But I'm back home now! I'm gonna be taking it a lil easy, trying to just get back on my feet.
Other than that, I can't wait to share the simple stuff I made while I was admitted, since I always bring a sketchbook. Love you all, remember to take care guys. Disabilities aint no joke.

Public relations
(Content warning: drugging, second person POV)
7 a.m. classes suuuuuuuck.
Trying to ignore your bad life decisions, you focus on just looking around at the people already waiting for class alongside you. No one too fancy, no one who stands up too much.
With one exception.
Fluffy, long black hair, preppy shirt and skirt in low-key, cozy colors. Such a perfect girl next door vibe, it feels unreal. 
And then it becomes unreal in a different way, as she holds a beaker to her face, swirls it around a bit, seems unhappy with it, puts it to the side, grabs a mortar and begins to energetically pestle something in it.
“I’m sorry. What are you doing?”
“Chemistry.” She answers, with the specific tone of voice that carries a hidden ‘obviously’. “I really need to get this done, so I’m prepping some things before the teacher stops by. My name is Medeia, by the way. Since you kindly asked.”
Oh. You never talked to her, but you’re pretty sure you saw her running all over the place through the previous year. She joined a couple semesters after you did, most likely, but already had quite the reputation. “You’re that magician girl.”
“Potion maker, not magician. The distinction is meaningless, but it matters to me.” She stresses, like you know a single thing she is talking about.
At that point, the professor arrives, and she openly leaves it clear she’ll apply full focus to that. Eh, so be it.
—----------
“Why bother with doing that? Isn’t magic bullshit worthless?”
“As I so kindly keep telling you, and you so kindly keep ignoring, it is not magic. Just potions.” She reaffirms. “And I find your ignorance very interesting when, amongst others such students, one of your underclassmen is a recently shifted werewolf, just as an immediate example.”
“There is one of those here? Gross. Not like that interests me, so I don’t bother to learn about it.”
The girl’s eyebrow raises inquisitively in response to that. “I’m sorry. What major are you doing again?”
“P.R.”
“Ah. Figures. Don’t worry, I’m sure you'll sell yourself off real quick.” She snarks, before opening her bag, picking a small sachet of some mysterious powder, and letting the substance fall into her water bottle. “You should be careful. Ignorance opens many blind spots. Before long, one of them will make use of your confidence in a way you’ll be lucky to live to regret.”
“Is that a threat?”
“It is a warning.”
“Hum. Perhaps if you try to teach me what I’m mi-”
“I have a girlfriend.” She said, shutting down your move with zero hesitation. Tsk. Boring girl. What was up with that holier than thou attitude.
“Of fucking course you do. Well, the faeric shit you seem to like was trouble for my grandma’s time not today. We’re the ones to rule the world nowadays.” She hums while shaking her bottle, leaving it clear she has no interest in the topic. “What are you even doing, anyway? Love potion? Mercury? Magic acid?”
“Lemonade. Non alcoholic. Just water and lemon juice powder.”
You blink. “That’s it?”
“I'm thirsty. The fact I know a thing or two of alchemy does increase my appreciation of it, though. The mundane strengthens the awe of the fantastical, and that inspires the beauty of the former. One way or another, the more you know, the better you see the dangers in both.” She matter of factly answered, taking a sip with joy. “Hum, I should add an extra pinch of sugar next time. Maybe make it from scratch and figure out how to add honey.”
—-------------
Your mouth is salty.
You try to soothe it with some more beer, but it only makes it worse, somehow. Something is wrong. Something is… weird.
You get up from the bar’s table and wobble your way out. The music and cheering feel like howls to your throbbing head, specters hovering around you while you’re unable to make out any distinguishing qualities. Eventually, you’re out on the street, with the cacophony of the party replaced by the all encompassing madness of the moonlight.
The car… I gotta get to my car.
Each step feels heavier and more unstable, as if your blood had turned into pure lead. You turn a corner, then another, unsure of your directions, until you can determine two things.
This street is deserted.
There is someone here.
Your body gives up on sustaining itself, falling to the ground. You probably should be worried about how you felt no pain at all from the impact, but that comes as a relief right now.
… Hrgh… red. 
Looking ever slightly forward, struggling to keep your eyes open as the trail of color goes on, you see someone in front of you. You can't really make any characteristics, but the person's mouth is wide open.
You must be dreaming. No one has teeth that sharp and sparkly white, is all you can think of as it leans towards you.
"Back off!"
A brown object swings towards the mystery person, and you can't quite make sure if it hit or not. You think you see something thrown in its direction, and before long some girl kneels by your side.
"O- ourse- you." Your ears fail you. You're so sleepy… "Drink- ow."
Something is pressed to your lips, reminding you that it still feels like pure salt is coating your tongue. Unable to resist, you open wide and begin drinking.
It's sweet. So delightfully, amazingly sweet. Somehow, all you felt these last couple minutes of pain fade away, shifting into a pleasant dream.
Yes… you can fall asleep, finally… So thick and syrupy… like honey…
—-------
You wake up the next day on your dorm's couch.
Jerks. Might as well have tossed you on your bed.
You react with confusion over your flatmates' tease about your latest fling, and the fact you think your headache isn't as bad as it should be. Your face feels itchy too. Are those scratch marks and bandaids? What the hell went on-
Reaching for your pocket, you feel something in it which most certainly wasn't there before. Taking it out, you see a paper napkin in which, alongside a phone number, was scribed:
Medeia Camille
Potion Maker and student, here for your needs.
You open your bedside table's drawer and throw the paper in, memories of a night that never happened beating from behind a curtain of wood.

the ask meme thing but only prime numbers
asking me to know MATH? a pox on your house!!!!! (if i get these wrong shh no i didnt)
1. Museum date or aquarium date? Why?
aquarium! i just really want to stare at the fishies. also the new england aquarium's octopus is a buddy.
3. Name a subject/topic you know a lot about.
oh god um. i dont know much about anything tbh. but get me to go off about house plants and i can NOT shut up.
5. What’s something most people love that you hate?
this is specific but its on my mind rn. that book 'where the crawdads sing' suuuuuuucked. but they made a movie of it?! taylor swift loved it?! like??
7. If you could create ANY mix-up or mythical animal and have it be brought to life, what would it be?
those little animals in spy kids 2, specifically the pig with wings. but frankly there are so many magical animals currently in our world.
11. What is your favorite Studio Ghibli film and why?
i havent seen all of them but its obviously totoro. wait i want to change my previous answer. i want totoro to be real.
13. Have you ever self-harmed?
ugh, yeah, but in a fake way. its complicated.
17. Is there something you currently want, that you can’t have?
i want to go to the eras tour sooooo bad. i know thats not probably what this question is about but like. i want it so bad. i have so much fomo :( this feels like a historic concert i'm missing
19. Think of the last film you watched. Who was your favorite character in it?
honestly it was mission impossible fallout and my favorite character is henry cavill bc he's my superman
23. What is something you are most confident about?
hm. my legs are pretty good.
How about something you're really insecure about?
ugh i dont do insecurities anymore. i mean i obviously do but i dont give them a voice. so i'm dodging this question.
29. Do you find smoking unattractive?
sorry no but january jones with a cig and a gun is so hot. i dont make the rules.
31. What is the 10th picture in your phone gallery?
all the fabric swatches i was deciding between for my bridesmaids
37. What's the best advice anyone has ever given you?
"life begins at the end of your comfort zone" which is fine advice but i also make a little joke about it in all my interviews and it thus far has a pretty decent success rate. so.
39. What's your favorite lyric from your favorite song right now?
i dont know spanish but shakira's diss track is on repeat rn. that line thats like 'a she-wolf like me isn't for guys like you' (but in spanish) hits
41. Is it true that if you can't love yourself, you can't love another?
oooh meaty. no i dont think thats right. you can absolutely love another even if you hate yourself. but i think its hard to get what you deserve if you dont have some level of self respect. ideally you love someone who will respect and love you anyway and you can build your own self respect and self love on that. but its risky
43. What time of the day feels the most magical to you?
morning. i hate mornings and am not a morning person but when i AM awake early its sooo magical. the birds and stuff.
47. Do you think you'd make a good teacher? Why or why not?
hmmmmm. i have been a good teacher in the past. there was a long period of time that i think i would not have been a good teacher. i think its better now but i still dont think i could do it for real as a career. i need to be able to phone it in sometimes and that sounds hard if you're a teacher.
i think those are prime numbers. dont tell me if i'm wrong

thoughts on shadowbringers so far
holy shit. i thought stormblood was good, this expansion has been simply insane and i'm not even halfway through with 5.0. spoilers ahead.
Tumblr media
the buildup to this expansion is incredibly tense and powerful, essentially watching your friends get picked off one by and not really understanding why at first. then when it all clicks, you're just waiting. waiting for the wol to get ripped away next.
Tumblr media
mostly i just want to scream about how pretty the forest of the lost sheperd is. HOLY FUCK IT'S SO PRETTYYYYYYY
i'm surprised i restrained myself enough to only take two photos lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the intro? rad. really sells the vibe.
Tumblr media
and i also absolutely love how sassy the wol's dialogue can be now???
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
love the personality on display here, the writing for the wol is really coming into its own and i love it so, SO much
speeding along here, i've known about the tesleen twist for quite some time, but that DID NOT remove the impact from the scene in the slightest. it's horrifying, it's in-your-face, it's BRUTAL. and i wouldn't have it any other way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
eulmore too, but for different reasons. equally brutal, but in a more insidious way, like...the entire vibe of of the place felt very cult-like to me, gatetown basically being lied to and kept almost sedated and content with their shitty situation using clown women and bread. also the bit about ascending later on? like 'yeah if we ascend everything will be just fine and dandy' which...No?????
and then it hits you. like, cinder block to the face HITS YOU. THIS PLACE SUUUUUUUCKS.
Tumblr media
i want to beat vauthry up so badly holy shit
the chais are cool, at least
anyway i've been rambling for a while. the ost is incredible, ardbert is a good boy and i love him, the titania jumpscare was terrifying, the lightwarden fights are rad and i love this expansion so far. please please please play ffxiv if you haven't already, it is so worth it.

One of the students in my intermediate obedience class is a guy with a Bouvier that I had in puppy class and beginner obedience. They’re doing so well with him; he’ll be a year old soon so he’s at like prime big dumb idiot age and I love it. He’s such a goof, but there’s these glimpses where he just snaps into working mode and ahhhhh I love it so much. Makes me miss having a working breed. The huas are lovely and amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I’ll always have a soft spot for a big ol’ working breed dog. It’s making me seriously rethink Third Dog breeds. The only concern with a larger, working breed dog is I really really really don’t want to have to crate and rotate. I’ve had to do it before and it sucked and I know I absolutely do not want to do it again. And I have two little ~10 lb huas, both of which are very quick to snap at big dumb puppies who are just doing puppy stuff (which Scarlett doesn’t appreciate from any size puppy tbh) but are also like four times their size at 16 weeks old. So yeah. Idk. Idk idk idkkkkkkkkkkkk

January 2, 2021: Mission: Impossible (Part 2)
OK, recap of the recap, let’s go.
The IMF unit is dead, and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) has been framed as a mole.
Ving Rhames and Jen Reno are awesome in this movie, and they’re helping
Jim Phelps (Jon Voight) is the bad guy (WHICH I CALLED 3 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE, BY THE WAY), along with his wife Claire (Emmanuelle Beart, and I called THAT ONE too) and Franz Kreiger (Jean Reno, and they got me there).
There was that really cool dangly break-in scene, I liked it.
Other spy stuff; read the last post to get more info.
Aaaaaaand SPOILERS!
So, after that thrilling action sequence, they get the data, Kittredge gets mad and arrests Ethan’s mom to get his attention, and Ethan FINALLY figures out that it’s Jim Phelps! Which, by the way, GODDAMN IT! DID I NOT CALL THAT SHOT? And how does Hunt figure out that it’s Phelps? He, uh...he brought a copy of the Bible with him to the safehouse.
Tumblr media
Really? You brought a Bible from a hotel you were known to be staying at? Really? Could you not, I dunno, buy one? Or, like, not implicate yourself so very easily? Wow. You guys SUCK at this espionage stuff, huh?
Anyway, Hunt drives to a station and calls Kittredge, making a great point about how much he sucks at this. Just then, Big Bad Bible Boi shows up at the station where Ethan is at, and we get a rundown on how Phelps did it, from Ethan’s point of view. And he gets so very close to figuring out that Claire is Jim’s accomplice, but stops just short of confirming it. OK, whatever. Still calling it though. He also figures out that Kreiger was his accomplice, which, while I didn’t call that one, does make quite a lot of sense in retrospect. Jim basically said that he did this because he feels useless after the Cold War, and that he hates his marriage. Which...yikes, Phelps, martial issues? Weird, seeing as how your wife is totally your accomplice in this.
Hunt goes back to their base, where Claire demonstrates the fragility of her marriage through kissing Ethan on the hand all sensual-like, and we cut to THE TRAIN.
Tumblr media
OK, so this is the other iconic sequence of this movie. The entire (living) cast of characters is seen in this one scene, starting with Vanessa Redgrave’s Max and her assistants, who’ve been given the list of agents and aliases by Ethan, taped under their seat Oprah-style. But, they can’t upload the data online because Luther Stickell, IT Agent, is blocking their signal. Meanwhile, Claire is also seated on the train, when she sees Agent Kittredge looking for Ethan on the train. Ethan is currently in the baggage car, waiting to meet Job, AKA Jim Phelps, who is already in the baggage area, hiding away somehow.
Tumblr media
Good. So, Jim Phelps is waiting in the baggage car, and Claire sees him there, confirming once and for all that she is, indeed, working with her husband, and has been the whole time. But then, whoops, it’s Ethan wearing one of those face masks! Not gonna ask why he had a mask of Jim Phelps just lying around, but sure. Jim then reveals that he’s been sitting in a small compartment in the same car, which brings up, just, SO many questions (mostly, why didn’t he kill Ethan that ENTIRE GODDAMN TIME? Seriously, you guys suuuuuuuck at this).
Jim reveals that he didn’t think to check the goddamn Bible for a stamp (Jeez, man, c’mon), and that he’s “tasted [his wife’s] goods.” OK, I’ve been restaining myself from saying this about their relationship, but I’m gonna do it now. Ew. Just...ew. Thinking about Jon Voight “tasting the-”
Tumblr media
...Guuuh. Well, Jim’s exposed by the spyglasses from earlier, and Kittredge finally gets a goddamn clue. Jim kills Claire (whoof, bad marriage indeed), and escapes to the outside of the train. Hunt follows, and lo and behold, Kreiger, the only missing cast member, appears in a GODDAMN HELICOPTER!
Tumblr media
Yeah, OK, this rules. I’m no prude, I can admit that I’m digging this so far. So, Kreiger’s flying a helicopter to pick up Phelps, but Hunt intercedes. And as if this couldn’t get any cooler, they go into the goddamn Chunnel. YES. This is fantastic, I’ve almost forgot about the dumbass non-twist. I just need something a little more awesome...
Tumblr media
...Yes...YEEEESS...
Tumblr media
HOLY SHIT YES OH MY GOD
That, uhh...yeah. Wow. I don’t even care about the rest of the movie at this point. Like, yeah, Phelps and Kreiger die, Max also loses, Hunt is exonerated, Luther is brought back into the IMF. Yeah, cool, whatever, DID YOU SEE THAT SCENE?? THAT WAS AMAZING!!! Seriously, that blew my mind.
OK, that’s the end of the recap, so time for the review. That’ll be in the next post, though. I need to calm down after that scene.
Tumblr media
See you in the Epilogue!

REDLINE (2013)
Tumblr media
I can’t believe this movie is rated R
This movie sucks.
This movie Fucking Suuuuuuucks.
I can’t believe it was rated R. I didn’t even know it was rated R until I was looking up the movie for the review. It stinks!
Apparently this was made by College Interns, or like 70% of the crew was College Interns and Students who had limited resources and wanted to see how far they can make this movie. But it still doesn’t keep it free from criticism! So criticism I shall! 
Here’s how the movie sets it’s stage: US FBI TERRORISM HAPPENING AFTER 9/11! IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE TRAIN STATION! HERE’S THE UGLY GREEN FILTER OVER THE MOVIE BECAUSE WE ARE SERIOUS!
And then after like 3 minutes of seeing people just sitting on subway, EXPLOSION! And scenario starts.
The point of the film is supposed to be this locked room scenario where people are slowing getting to each other’s throats as they try to figure out “who the evil one is.” But the problem with that is I DON’T KNOW THEM! At least give me like, a line or two of them talking (HELL, INTERACTING) before everything turns to shit.
Hey also, this movie just hates couples I guess. Not to say you can’t have couples being torn apart by accident. That is a good source of drama. But there are at least 2 Couples here in the movie, both have a partner get super injured in the crash. And wanna know who dies immediately? The black guy. Yeah, the black couple gets killed off first. Like, I get it’s a mix of people with different backgrounds because that’s the point, but honestly I’m getting tired of that shit.
It also sucks because there was an interesting scene early on. The only known medical person is a Hispanic woman who only speaks Spanish. So the two uninjured partners are fighting over her to try and save their lovers. It is touching and desperate. But this ties back into the I DON’T KNOW THEM. My heart doesn’t LEAP because of the specific person being hurt. It is leaping because of the situation they are in. There was no moment given to figure out who these people are outside a minute. Honestly I think the most screen time was for the couples before the explosion JUST for this scene. Because everyone else I couldn’t give a shit about. And the movie didn’t let me give a shit about anyone else.
I wrote in my notes “Rescue Snuff Porn” which I think fits this movie well. 
We didn’t really know anyone’s name until like 20 minutes in where we get one guys backstory as an actor. And OOPS! He dies. Moral of the story: keep that backstory shit a secret.
This movie is, I guess also into showing off people’s prejudices here. Like the “Better rethink your racist views” kind of way. The medical person they have? Yeah she was a nurse, but now...Cleans Houses! Oh Le Gasp! Like the dude’s face looks affronted and I can’t tell if this was supposed to be “don’t judge housekeepers” moment but all I can think about is that I didn’t give a shit if she lost her license by killing someone, if she’s the only one with medical knowledge then let her do her damn job.
Then we get the Big Show of showing prejudices by having one guy Mason The Army dude who served in Iraq target another guy Al because stereotypical terrorist look here. He was also saying bs about how statistically terrorism is middle eastern and had other nonsense to make him look like an ass. Basically what happened is that they found another Bomb and now everyone is on the hunt for the bomber. And the first thought is Al because racism. Though it did leave for an actual Deez Nuts moment.
“What’s your name?”
“Al”
“Al What?”
“Al-Qaeda“
Then he rapid explains that he is my boy from Michigan. Is an engineering student from UoM. Roots for the Pistons. Like, My Boy!
Then they fucking torture my boy by beating him and moving his broken arm. That, is the ONLY reason I can accept this is was Rated R because everything else was just tame as hell.
Fuck Mason I literally didn’t give a shit he died. He died. Oops. Army vet got beamed with a rock. Alexa play Taps.
Oh and I guess Tori is the only one that can actually think and get epiphanies on “oh shit this isn’t right.” She thought “what if the bomber is here” She thought “oh wait where is the gun” She thought “wait let’s have a plan to out the bomber!” Like, I get shes the “lead lead” but still at least let other people get some other thoughts here.
And throughout all of this, the makeup sucks. The students spent all their budget for the blood death of the one guy because literally NO ONE ELSE has blood on them! Barely a scratch. HELL! The women’s make up was intact! They just smeared soot blush on and called it good. The clothes weren’t even stained or torn. This might just be me nitpicking but if you were in a tunnel for hours on end the makeup isn’t going to be perfect throughout. And if the movie didn’t want me to notice the makeup they should have made a better plot.
BS BS Found the original Bomber BS BS Wants to punish America for being bad and not prepared I guess? I literally zoned out as he tried to explain his stance of terrorist to a 10 year old girl because it only made him sound crazier by explaining it as training a dog. How I guess America is selfish and needs to be knocked down a peg.
Oh! And after they got rescued and Tori the Psuedo-Lead convinces the girl to NOT shoot the bomber when they win at the end, the Bomber had the fucking audacity of being “lol I’m a good teacher, I taught virtue.” With Tori going “No, fuck off, I would have been like this without you.” And Bomber-Man just says “You sure about that?” Dun Dun Movie End.
Like, Bro. Broooooooo what kind of bullshit is that?
First off: No. He didn’t teach shit. There was no learning moment here. The people learned things internally through themselves and their actions. He might have caused the situation in hand, but that is not the same as actively teaching. Virtue would only reveal itself in events like that because it isn’t something that people can prepare for and go to survival-mode, whether protecting yourself or others. He can just take his bomb and shove it straight up in his ass.
With that kind of logic, you’re saying JIGSAW from Saw has the moral high ground too. And that, my friend, is also bullshit.
Second off: How dare the movie end with giving the villain justification like this. What, is it supposed to be a thinker? Let the audience stew in this and ponder if the bad guy was indeed right in all of this?
No. Fuck off. He bomb people. There is no moral justification in that. Bye Bye. See you later.
Yeah this movie sucks. Do not recommend. At All. Only watch it if you are drunk and with friends so you can make fun of it, and even then don’t. There are other better options here.

dd once you're a decent ways drunk - who's your favorite side character off the top of your head?
What the fuck counts as a side character?!?!?! Does Law count as a side character anymore, cause he’s been around a fuck ton these days.
Fuck it. We’re doing this by category.
MARINE SIDE CHARACTER
MY SMOKEY BABY!!!! I love him. He’s absolutely my Marine husband! Gorgeous, intelligent, powerful. Anyone else notice that Luffy has never actually beaten him? Their fights have always gotten interrupted (usually right before Smoker legit kills him). Such a tsundere~~
SUPERNOVA SIDE CHARACTER
MY SURGEON OF DEATH!! My heart weeps for Law, cause his life fuckin’ suuuuuuucks. His aesthetic is kickass, his power is kickass, and I would def let him cut me up, cause not gonna lie that looks super awesome (assuming he’d put me back together afterwards).
EVIL PIRATE SIDE CHARACTER
KATAMOCHI!!!!! This giant hunk of mochi deserves so much more. He’s just the fucking best, and I’m prepared to lay a smack down on anyone who says his mouth is anything but perfect!! And holy fuck, did y’all know that those scars are cause as a kid he stuffed too many doughnuts in his mouth and his cheeks burst? He’s such a glutton. I love him. Everyone thinks he’s this super serious soldier praying to war gods, and the poor guy just wants to lie back and do nothing but eat sweets and drink tea. Bless him.
WAIT! YOU KNOW WHAT! NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, THERE IS TRULY ONE CHARACTER THAT PRETTY MUCH CONSUMES MY EVERY WAKING THOUGHT.
PORTGAS D. ACE!
How did I not think of him first? Fucking christ. He’s even my phone screen. I can’t even begin to explain why I’m utterly obsessed with this man, but I shouldn’t even have to. He wins. He wins everything.

ok im watching Maurice, ill liveblog my stupid reactions and then maybe say something of substance at the end (but probably not)
-the teacher in the beginning is cute, love his little speech -omg is the blondie the main character? LOVE a blonde -their uniforms  -he’s practicing greeting this greasy ass dude?  -tfw u try to help a guy carry stuff but u drop it = /  -the way this dude rocks playing the piano lmfao cute -he rolled him up in ? is this? is THIS gay culture?  -love the shot of those shoes and socks *kisses fingertips* perfection -what’s up with these SCHOOLS why do they look like that!!!  -strok-STROKING! RESTING! CARESS???? SLOWLY EMBRACI NG -holy shit the feeling in my chest just then sent my head through a 6 second turmoil. that fear and distrust when they hold you? the desire to squeeze them to youu making you lightheaded? the necessity of tentativity? the doubt? the anxiety? -seriously, that hug? the emotions in blondie’s hand movements drove me to the precipice of weeping -oh my god the drama = / -laying in a field? with a lover... -oh ope he got kicked out? -oh flirt flirt flirt -these ppl are so fuckin rich it’s painful to look at -tag yourself, im the guy the rich lady doesnt remember the name of eating off someone else’s table -don't fall for it don't fall for it, the navy guy is gonna kill him oh god no no no -ohhhh my god  -im sorry I called u greasy risley I didn't realize u were one of us = / -this is awful -i’d faint too -i’d have a breakdown too -this is awful -whole thing is very sad but these outfits are phenomenal  -haha...    haha...….. ……. -oh Maurice!!! of course you didn't want to hurt him! oh clive couldn't you be more gentle about it? -this SUUUUUUUCKS why do u guys like this absolute horrorshow? Maurice's fucking face, this sucks -like I totally get it, I 100% get it, I understand, but also, fuck im so upset with clive. still I get it. it’s just so hard. but god, clive! but I know. -”for two people in love to marry”..... -I don't want maurice to cry anymore, it’s really getting to me...… -”I rang the bell and the servant brought a saucer” jesus -”we had to ring twice. twice” Christ -clive wait you. is clive not? is clive bi or something?? or like only sexually into women? is that why...…????? what the fuck is up with this guy. oh shit is he only lying? like is he so deep in denial he wont even admit it was real to the man he was with? oh clive... -this hypnosis scene sure is nightmarish as well -oh my god is the scudder kid who he ends up with?!?!??!!? -oh my god they had sex -haha theyre so cute playin their lil cricket game -oh oh my god he thinks the kid is gonna do something!! -OH ben kingsley, that’s his name -oh my god alec don't freak out man oh my god PLEASE alec ohhhhhh -awwwww teacher! I love teacher -theyre so sweet, tryna blackmail each other. they made up tho -alec’s leaving too holy shit!!!! I hate this movie!!!! -IS ALEC OK??????????????????? -OH HE’S- HE’S NOT GETTING ON THE BOAT!!!! I GET IT NOW!!! OH MY GOD HE’S AT THE BOATHOUSE -why is Maurice not at the boathouse! why is he going to clive! HE’S AT THE BOATHOUSE! -clive is a bit of a fuck -UUUUUUUUUUUUGH BOATHOUSE -n-...….. “now we shan’t ever be parted”? D’‘‘‘: oh have mercy -ahhhhh….. so Maurice opens windows, and clive closes them. I didn't mean to call u a fuck, clive, I understand = / 
OH ok it’s over! so it was very good! it’s a majestic, respectful, emotional film, and it depicts its characters with such raw honesty and frankness, it’s impossible to not be enraptured and sucked into it. the acting is off the walls, so many smart decisions and pretty subtleties and heartbreaking drama. and so handsome! the attention to detail makes it such a pleasing film to just look at. I love that Maurice really only seems to want to change in response to his heart being broken- when he finds alec, he goes right back to being intensely brave and audacious about his homosexuality. and a happy ending!!! how kind!!! how ahead of its time- how ahead of OUR time, even! I adore it.

Study Session
Author’s Note: Aaaaaaand Deltarune trash
Series: Deltarune
Pairing: Slight Kris/Susie
Length: 1378 words
Rating: Safe
You’re having a minor panic attack.
You only say ‘minor’ because you’re just that good at hiding it. You’ve always been. Sure it seemed creepy to just about everyone else in town (they’ve even told you straight to your face on occasion), but right at this moment, that skill was a blessing in disguise.
“Sup.”
Because she was here.
Outside of school.
In your house.
Susie was at your house.
You had no idea why that was such a surprise. You invited her over. What, did you think she’d say ‘yes’ and not come?
…Well, you might’ve before the both you became friends.
“You gonna invite me in or what?”
Susie’s flicking of your forehead snapped you back to reality. She did that often, sometimes to mess with you, other times to poke you out of those daydreams you constantly found yourself in. You wordlessly invite her in with a goofy presentation pose that caused her to snicker.
Susie tentatively glanced around the place. The house was as clean as it always was. Mom always did keep the place looking spotless although it wasn’t as if you were capable of making much mess.
Susie whistled casually. “Cozy digs.” She nonchalantly eased herself onto the couch. You heard her emit a sound you swore you never heard before. You halt your first instinct to make a sarcastic jab about her actually seeming happy for once.
By all means, not an easy task.
You were reluctant to interrupt her relaxation time but you remembered that you invited her over for a reason.
Upon hearing the news, Susie groaned out of boredom as expected. “Aw come on, Kris.” She complained, lounging further on top of the couch. Toriel certainly would not have approved of feet on top of the furniture but you decided to leave it be. “It’s not like either of us are on the honor roll or some crap. Can’t we just brush off the homework and play video games?” She eyed the particularly interesting looking game console that was recently hooked back up to the TV.
You remind her that Ms. Alphys basically passes her students just by at least handing something in. Susie scoffs in reply but finally decides to roll with it anyway.
An hour passes by of comfortable silence. So far, your pencil scribbling was the only sound in the room washing over both of you. You occasionally saw Susie scrawling something down on her own paper but it was only when your hand moved away from the answer you just wrote.
This was nice. Normally, you found doing schoolwork at home was too much of a chore – at least without your brother. You recalled when Asriel would often help you with math equations you were certain weren’t real. Long division was the spawn of demons and no one could tell you otherwise. At least with Asriel there, it seemed less like a chore. You would even play Super Smashing Fighters afterward.
But then he left.
You mentally chastise yourself for bringing up those repressed feelings. Yes, he was gone but you knew that moping about it wasn’t going to do anything. And besides…
“Hey, you got anything to eat here? I’m starving.”
At least you weren’t alone now.
You inform Susie that you put a platter of cookies to bake not too long ago. Double chocolate chip, just for those moments when single chocolate chip didn’t cut it. Man, your stomach was growling just thinking about it.
“Oh…is that what’s burning?”
Burning? They can’t be burning. You only put them in the oven before you started your home…work.
SHIT
You really hope Susie didn’t see your eyes nearly popping out of your skull as you stumbled over your own feet making a beeline for the kitchen. You know for sure she’s gonna laugh at you for that.
It was too late. The cookies you stuffed in the oven were entirely unrecognizable, merely pitch black remains of what they were intended to be. You wonder how Mom makes baking seem so easy, having some sort of six sense as to when food was finished baking.
Then you remember that you forgot to set the timer.
The crusty burnt smell only served to make your walk of shame seem worse. What kind of host serves burnt snacks? And to your best friend? For shame, Kris Dreemurr. For sha-
“Oh, shit are those the cookies?”
You hardly have time to respond before your guest snatches a black cookie from the platter. You stare at her in awe for a solid minute, watching her snarf down the piece of charcoal down whole before going in for seconds. You then remember that this was the same person who ate chalk.
Out of curiosity, you decide to try your handiwork.
Only to hack it back out the second the crusty black flakes touched your throat. Your stomach felt betrayed. Deceived by the promise of chocolate and met with the bitter taste of disappointment. You didn’t answer when she asked if you were gonna finish it, merely handing the half bitten snack to her in defeat. You wonder just how tolerant monster stomachs are for a brief moment before returning back to your homework.
Eventually, it was getting frustrating staring at the same question for the better half of 15 minutes.
You could tell Susie was feeling the same way. She was mostly waiting for you to finish just to copy. You felt the urge to remind her that that method wasn’t exactly helping you. You really wanted to get this over with so you could properly hang out and play video games but you felt the itch reaching you sooner than you anticipated.
…You figure you deserve a little break.
--
“You suuuuuuuck.”
Susie’s salt-coated insults were almost music to your ears. Somehow, you realize that this was what your brother must have been tasting after all those years of straight up destroying you at video games.
It felt wonderful.
You cheekily asked Susie if she was up for a rematch. The monster’s pride of course never failed to disappoint. As you prepped to pick your usual main, the dread pink gumball, you heard the door open.
“Kris? I’m home!”
Smiling, you greet your mother with a wave which she sweetly returned. Her expression froze however when her eye caught sight of your guest.
“Uhh, hi Ms. Toriel.” Susie awkwardly responded. Seeing a teacher outside of school. You’ve been there. It’s beyond weird. You didn’t blame her for feeling a bit out of place.
Your mother, on the other hand, looked like her brain had just exploded and was putting itself back together. “Oh Kris, you brought…a friend?! A girl?! Friendgirl?!? Girlfriend??!??!”
Somehow Toriel pieced the whole thing together in the worst word association possible. You were speechless (which wasn’t entirely surprising). It took a moment to search for a proper response but luckily Susie did all the talking for you.
“Girlfriend?! Wh-Heck no!” You were impressed at how well she censored herself. “It’s-it’s nothing like that, I mean…Tell her, Kris!”
You attempted to back up her claim but in a tiny moment of weakness, your lucid imagination worked against you, planting a not quite unpleasant scenario of you and Susie.
You and Susie.
Engaging in only the most heinous of all debaucherous acts:
Holding hands.
The controller dropped from your hand. No words left your mouth. Even more mortifying, your face was now a shade redder. Susie looked at you with total betrayal, though from the corner of your eye, you could’ve sworn there was a light tint of pink along her scaly cheeks.
Amidst the embarrassed air of the living room, your mother grinned widely at Susie. “I’ll just leave you two be for now. Would you like some pie? Oh! How about some tea? Why don’t I set the table for you!”
She bolted right over to the kitchen faster than she rambled. Total silence fell over both you and Susie, neither of you even playing the game. You dared to glance at her, only to be met with an expression you could only describe as an unholy blend of anger, embarrassment, and…flattery?
You shoot her a sheepish smile.
She shot you a punch to your arm.

Dragon Ball Z 138
Tumblr media
Last time on Dragon Ball Z, Krillin was alone before the overwhelming might of the artificial humans.  
Tumblr media
Piccolo’s sick of the androids beating everyone up and killing Goku and making out with Krillin, and whatever other damn thing they’ve been up to, so he heads to Kami’s Lookout to merge with him.   They used to be one Namekian long ago, until that Namekian purged himself of his latent evil to become Kami.   Said latent evil became King Piccolo, who fathered Piccolo Junior, blah blah blah everyone knows this by now.
Tumblr media
Piccolo is pretty blunt about this.    This isn’t a union of equals.  Kami is just going to provide a power-up for Piccolo.  
Tumblr media
And it won’t matter much that Kami will be gone, since the only thing he does anymore is sustain the Dragon Balls.  
Tumblr media
That’s harsh, but Kami gets it.    The irony is that Kami was once the strongest being on the planet until Goku and Piccolo surpassed him in the final arc of Dragon Ball.   In Dragon Ball Z, he’s been an afterthought.   The other characters have trained and become more and more powerful, but Kami’s probably about the same as he was when he first appeared. 
Meanwhile, even Super Saiyans are helpless against the current crop of androids, so it’s pretty clear that losing Kami to boost Piccolo’s strength would be a bargain.
Tumblr media
However, Kami wants to observe the situation more before consenting to the fusion.   This decision will be permanent, and he’s not yet convinced that the androids represent a sufficient threat.    Piccolo finds that insane, because he’s seen how powerful the androids are, and Trunks has told of the devastation they’ve caused in his future.   But Kami reminds Piccolo that his group picked a fight with the androids, and the androids spared their lives anyway.   Trunks himself has admitted that they’re not the same as the ones he fought in the future, so the situation bears watching.
Tumblr media
Piccolo is disgusted with Kami’s reluctance to act, so he plops his butt down and waits right there for Kami to make up his mind.   
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Tien heads off to pick up Chiaotzu from Master Roshi’s, while Krillin and Trunks go to relocate Goku to... Master Roshi’s.  I feel like Tien could have just accompanied them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meanwhile, at Goku’s house, Yamcha reads one of Goku’s books.   At least, I assume it’s Goku’s, since it’s about punching and kicking.  
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the androids steal a van right in front of the guys who drive it.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Vegeta’s still mega ultra pissed about losing his fight with 18.  
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, a biker gang harasses the androids, who decide to play with them for a bit.   17 hits them with their van, and he drives like a maniac, basically daring the gang to follow them.  
Tumblr media
I don’t know what these guys are supposed to be called.    Their leader refers to them as the “Lords of the Highway”, so maybe that’s the name of their gang.   
Tumblr media
This whole scene is pretty fun.   There’s like a dozen guys in this gang, and they all look pretty cool.  One of them is a dead ringer for Fangs the Vampire Man from the Fortuneteller Baba Saga.  
Tumblr media
This dude looks like Van Zant, the guy who shoots Majin Buu’s dog about a hundred episodes from now.    For all I know he might be Van Zant.  
Tumblr media
The main thing about all of this is that the androids do not sweat these guys at all.   At one point 17 drives on railroad tracks towards an oncoming train, then swerves away at the last minute.  
Tumblr media
Eventually they get the androids to face them directly, but they can’t hurt them, of course.   Just when it looks like 18 might really get serious, the cops show up, and the gang use that as a handy excuse to withdraw.
Tumblr media
Oh, cool they have a girl in the gang.    I didn’t notice her back there.   She kinda looks like Teen Bulma with purple hair.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway, the police are even more baffled than the gang was.    18 picks up their car and chucks it into a mountain.

So I’d like to take a moment to talk about the music for this show.    One of the problems people have with the Funimation dub is the fact that they used a different score.    The Ocean dub episodes (1-67), had a truly awful music, composed by Shuki Levy.   The Levy score suuuuuuucked.    I won’t deny that.    Every track sounded the same, and it all kind of sounded like someone was just sort of slapping stuff together to get the episodes ready for broadcast.   This may be the case, since I’m pretty sure the reason Funimation didn’t use the original score was because they didn’t have the rights to use it.   If that’s the case, they were probably in a hurry to get some music laid down as quickly as they could.  When Funimation re-dubbed Episodes 1-66 for the Orange Brick box sets, they used music by Nathan Johnson for the score.   This music is also unlistenable.   
But, from Episodes 68 to 291, Funimation used music composed by Bruce Faulconer, and most of it kicks a lot of ass.    Purists hate it because it’s not the original Japanese score, but Faulconer composed a lot of memorable themes for several characters and situations.   When I watched all of  Dragon Ball from start to finish for the first time in 2009, I watched the English dub with the Japanese score, right up to Episode 67 of Z, and then I immediately switched over to the Faulconer score.    This time, I’m watching it in Japanese, so I don’t really have a choice.   The Orange Brick sets let you chose which score you want when it’s in English, but you can only listen to the Japanese voices with the Japanese score.  
So this is really the first time I’ve watch the show with the Japanese score for the post Ginyu Force episodes.    I’ve heard all this music before, though, because a long time ago I bought a copy of “Dragon Ball Z: BGM Collection,” which is a three-disc album of the original score by Shunsuke Kikuchi.   Disc One has all the stuff used in the first 117 episodes and the first five movies.   Disc Two covers Episodes 118-199 and Movies 6-9.   Disc Three covers the Buu Era and the last four movies.  
Here’s the thing about the original Japanese score for Dragon Ball Z: It’s not that great.    The music itself is fine, on the same quality as the music from the original Dragon Ball.     The problem is that there just isn’t very much of it, and it’s spread very thin.    The three disc set I mentioned isn’t a best-of collection.   It’s the entire score (minus insert songs) for all 291 episodes and 13 movies.   It’s only about three and a half hours’ worth of music.  
To make matters worse, the music isn’t even distributed very evenly across the series.   The movie scrores are fairly long, and these eventually got incorporated into the TV soundtracks, but only after each movie was released.   In other words, the music on the Movie 5 score didn’t start creeping into the anime until well after episode 99.    And for the first 117 episodes, all they use is the music from Disc 1, which is only 70 minutes long.    About half of that is movie scores, the opening and closing themes, and the music they would play during the recap.    That leaves maybe 40 minutes of music that got used across over a hundred episodes.   You want to know what that sounds like?

The video above is Track 14 from Disc One of the BGM Collection.   The title is “ Kyôfu no Ginyū Tokusentai” or “The Fearsome Ginyu Special Corps”.   It’s actually two songs.   The first one is about thirty seconds long, and then at 0:35 the second one starts.   You might assume that one of these songs is used when the Ginyu Force first appears in the show, and you would be correct.    The second, longer portion is played when the Ginyus first arrive on Namek and do their poses for Frieza in Episode 62.  
However, the music was first used in Episode 31, when Goku attacks Vegeta while using the Kaio-ken Times Three.    After that, Toei used it for various tense or exciting moments, or important battles, including:
Vegeta vs. Cui.
Vegeta vs. Dodoria.
Vegeta vs. Tsuno’s village.
Vegeta vs. Zarbon.  
Krillin vs. Dodoria.  
Anybody vs. Anybody.  
Pretty much anything even remotely exciting
No, they basicaly used this music in almost every episode.
The Namek Saga gets pretty dry, music-wise, because by that point, it doesn’t really fit to use a lot of the early tracks that were composed around Gohan training under Piccolo.  At the same time, they didn’t have a lot of movie scores to draw upon either.    So for a long stretch of episodes, the Ginyu Force song was pretty much the go-to music for almost any situation.   I got kind of tired of it, is my point.    It’s a good song, but it wore out its welcome.   
The nice thing about the Androids/Cell phase of DBZ is that now Toei is finally utilizing music from the second disc of the BGM collection, and they have disc one to draw upon as well.    The reason I say all of this here and now is because this episode used the Ginyu Force song once again (for the part where 17 and 18 face the biker gang), but it’s been about twenty or thirty episodes since I hear it last, so it’s not nearly as irritating.   
The point I want to make about the Faulconer score is that Bruce Faulconer actually tailor made some music for this episode.   There’s a song specifically for the androids messing with the biker gang.

Now, it might not make for great listening in your car, because the song keeps switching back and forth between leitmotifs.   The hard, metal sound is the bikers, and the easy-going kettle drums are the androids chillaxing in their pink van.     Then at the end, you get this kind of old timey western saloon music that accompanies the hapless small-town cops who try to handcuff the androids.
But it made for good TV, because the music actually reflected the action happening on the screen.  To be sure, Faulconer would use bits and pieces of tracks like this to score other moments in the show, but they still worked, because he wasn’t just making a one-size-fits-all action song and applying it to every single situation.  
I think it’s telling that Bruce Faulconer’s collection of DBZ music is something like nine discs, and there’s a lot of his score that was never released, and he only did the music for about three-quarters of the show.    I’m not saying you have to prefer his score or even like it, but I think he deserves some respect for the greater variety and depth.    He clearly put more work into making the music work with the footage.

Moving on, Krillin and Trunks arrive at Goku’s place, and Krillin asks if the androids really are pure evil like Trunks has said.    Trunks assures him that they were terrible in his world.
Tumblr media
Of course, Krillin is only asking because the girl android kissed him and he kinda liked it, but he doesn’t want to go and just say that, so he plays down the question.
Tumblr media
From there, the boys fill Yamcha and Chi-Chi in on the situation, and then Gohan shows up and they fill him in too, and everyone piles into the air-bus-vehicle thingy to head for Master Roshi’s place.
Tumblr media
Now, maybe this is dumb how their big idea is to move Goku to Kame House, since that’s the next place the enemy would think to search.   The thing is, the androids aren’t exactly in a hurry to get to Goku’s house, so it probably doesn’t matter where they hide him as long as they can stay one step ahead until Goku’s well enough to hide himself.    One thing I like about the androids is that 18 thinks it’s stupid to drive the whole way, and yet she insists on stopping somewhere to get herself new clothes.    And 17 is basically the other way around.   16 is fixated on killing Goku, and yet he seems to be in no hurry either.    They all seem happier to have the company than they would be to save time. 
Tumblr media
Of course this whole saga is kind of circling the drain at this point.    Once the Androids beat the Z-Fighters and declined to kill them, it just sort of sucked all the tension out of things.    Everyone’s just sort of casually moving around from one place to the next, with no particular urgency.   The bad guys aren’t very bad, especially when the good guys include Vegeta.   
As much as I enjoy this leg of DBZ, I can’t help but feel that something’s missing.    The arc really could use a stronger villain.   Someone more motivated.   Someone more dangerous.   But where are you gonna find one of those at this late hour?  
Tumblr media
As it is, this episode ends with Bulma getting a phone call, like that’s going to lead anywhere.   It’s probably just a robocall trying to tell her she won a free scam cruise to the scam Bahamas.
