theres this post i saw YEARS ago that i still think of on a weekly basis and it was something along the lines of “lol i read so much fanfic that i’m pretty much only attracted to men as a gay man and not a straight woman” and there was like a screencap of it going around with comments saying how it was kinda fucked up and cis people were wild and generally criticizing the fetishization of gay men. and i was just starting to question my gender at that point and i knew i was bi but i was like “wait hold on... i feel like that too... and i’m not a straight woman... and i’m not really cis either.” because i would read fic and feel AWFUL because i just wished that it could be me. and eventually it was that feeling that played a HUGE role in my figuring out i was a trans guy, like wanting to be desired not just by but as a man. and it still breaks my heart that everyone held that up as an example of shitty straight girls fetishizing gay men and i didn’t see anyone saying to the teenager (as far as i know) that hey, a lot of trans people feel like this, maybe that’s what you’re feeling

#reading lou sullivans diaries he expresses like the SAME sentiment #and it's so fucking validating like i had no idea how to say it #but there he was talking about fantasizing about the beatles with no women involved and definitely not himself as a woman #r.txt #trans tag

ok so here’s my weekly disco new ep teaser analysis!

this week actually had far less screencaps than all the others, hmmm, i guess they are keeping this one close to the chest!

well, the episode title is “Red Angel” and it looks like we will finally get some answers!

so this teaser starts with Michael’s voiceover as we see the following scenes: “there are so many reasons to join Starfleet...”

so this looks like Discovery with a Section 31 ship, possibly Leland and Georgiou’s ship? perhaps Admiral Cornwell has been able to get Starfleet to stand down against Discovery and get Leland’s ship to help?

this is the send off funeral for Airiam, similar to what I used to remember from ENT, and it looks like the pallbearers are Bryce and Lt. Nilsson (played by season 1 Airiam actress Sara Mitich) in the back, and Rhys and Owosekun in the front --- so it seems my assumption may be correct, they recast Airiam in between seasons because they wanted to keep Sara Mitich so they brought in Hannah Cheeseman to do a role that they knew they’d be killing off in this plot and gave Sara a new role that they will probably use to replace Airiam on the bridge as the spore drive person

I don’t know if all the people gathered there are the ship’s entire crew though (it looks kind of too small in number to the full crew complement?) or maybe some are still on shift so this section of the shift can do the funeral?

and off they send Airiam’s coffin into space, fair winds and following seas Commander...

Michael’s voiceover picks up again: “...we get to reach for the stars...”

Michael clearly needs a hug, poor thing still shouldering that guilt and pain

I can’t tell if this is Stamets or just some random crew members moving about, but it seems like they are setting up some equipment, i can’t tell what location this is in, but it looks like the wreck of the USS Hiawatha, but it is possible that this is a completely different location as well

here we see Tilly setting up some chair that we see later in the teaser, the wall on the back reads OSS ROOM, but I can’t quite read what’s underneath it

Michael continues the voiceover: “...we get to reach for the best in ourselves...”

so this looks like Michael and Spock are walking towards the chair that Tilly was seen working on, while behind them on the other side of the windows are Stamets and others

Discovery and Section 31 ship both dealing with one of the Red Bursts finally showing up, well, Pike is finally getting his damned red things!

Stamets covering his eyes, something is happening on the other side of the windows

Culber is out on this mission and he looks equally concerned

Stamets and Culber look to be with Mirror Georgiou? And I think that’s Nhan with the phaser she’s reaching for? Notably, they are all in space suits, including Spock, but Michael is not seen with it - I don’t know if this confirms she is the Red Angel, but perhaps? I’m still not entirely sure given this show’s habit of throwing out red herrings and even outright lie.

Michael’s voiceover again: “...we get to reach for each other...”

YAY HUGS AND KISSES!!!!!! I’m not sure where Tyler will be in the episode, but I doubt he will stay in his room, I surmise he will be back on the bridge watching all this go down as we don’t see him in a space suit with the others. And I also assume that Tyler will get cleared obviously, and Michael will probably tell him about Airiam since he probably does not know, and they will seek comfort in each other. Can’t wait!!!!

Pike: “On your mark, Commander.”

The Captain is ready for all the damned red things!

so Michael and Spock heading towards that chair and we see Spock strapping Michael in.

Michael: “Ready.”

now the episode synopsis goes like this:

Burnham is stunned when she learns her ties to Section 31 run deeper than she ever fathomed. Armed with the identity of the Red Angel, the U.S.S. Discovery goes to work on its most critical mission to date.

my guess is that Michael learns about Section 31 or Leland’s involvement in her parents’ death? or perhaps that her parents were working for something for Section 31 that she never knew about? it could be them working on Project Daedalus?

it is my assumption that Project Daedalus is the exosuit that the Red Angel uses to travel, so maybe Michael’s parents were involved in the design for that and they were killed by Section 31 and Leland because of that?

the synopsis seems to confirm that we get the identity of the Red Angel this episode, and it is after learning this identity that they go on this mission, so i can only surmise that by the time the crew got Michael ready in that chair, whatever it is, that they already know who is the Red Angel? or maybe this is a mission to draw in the Red Angel so that Spock could figure out who it is?

it’s very possible the Red Angel is Michael, but I’ve also got about 7 other possibilities as well just because the show could always pull a fast one on us and do something completely unexpected - and there’s nothing to say that there may not be a legion of Red Angels running around either...

whatever it is, this looks like a all hands on deck mission!!

Let’s Watch HeartCatch Pretty Cure, Episode 3

Alright folks, nothin big to say here, let’s dive right in!

Episode 3 starts with another dream sequence. I get the feeling this is going to be a recurring element in the series. Namely we’ve got Tsubomi (as Cure Blossom) swooning in a moonlit garden. I am starting to think that our girl perhaps is nursing a bit of a crush.

Episode 3 - "The 2nd Precure is raring to go!”

She wakes up (accidentally smacking around the fairies in the process) and has a bit of windowside banter with Erika. She promptly does an “oh no, I’m late!” while Erika makes this absolutely incredible face.

After the OP, they meet up at school and talk a bit about how Tsubomi is trying to change her personality by starting with her looks. A reasonably solid strategy I guess, though I hope at some point the show addresses that how you act is more important than how you look--as that’s a message that little girls always need to hear.

Erika, being a possible baby gay, frames Tsubomi’s face and does this cute thing.

Imagine I posted that meme of Snoop Dogg with the “this is the cutest shit I’ve ever seen” caption.

Now, I wonder what this episode will be about.

Yeah they really do not waste any time getting to this plot point. There’s a cut to the girls eating lunch on the roof, Erika mentions she’s having weird dreams, and then

I suppose I’m glad we’re not beating around the bush? Erika takes much of the ensuing exposition remarkably in stride, being a-ok with the existence of fairies, but a little shocked that her friend Tsubomi is Cure Blossom.

The blue fairy (look, you try keeping their names straight) tries to persuade Erika to become a Precure, but is interrupted by the sudden appearance of this androgynous boy.

Who we in short order learn is the student council president. He mentions that Erika’s Fashion Club needs a member list by week’s end so the student council can draw up the club budget, and promptly departs, having successfully derailed the plot. This also happens.

Tsubomi has now blushed at 3 different people in the span of 6 minutes. Truly a maiden’s heart is an incredible thing.

There’s a small aside in here where we’re shown Sasorina back at her lord’s Evil Lair (which is by the way a gloriously ridiculous thing that looks like something out of a Tim Burton work) where she gives the usual “I only lost because I was taken by surprise” villain spiel, and then we cut back to the *truly* important plot.

Erika and Tsubomi attempt to recruit members for the fashion club around school, largely to no avail. The translators also decide to have some, erm, fun, with the subtitling.

I feel like “pansy” is kind of strong language for a middle schooler? Maybe it doesn’t have the same connotations everywhere. We promptly get some context for this girl’s refusal just a few minutes later, and

Well that’s quite sexist.

The somewhat wonky art in this shot aside, I do feel for the girl. This makes me wonder if sex-exclusive sports clubs are the norm in Japanese middle schools. *My* school had separate boys’ and girls’ sports teams but I also went to a Catholic middle school, I didn’t think it was the norm. As she sulks, a familiar face makes itself known.

The only ones who play soccer are saints....and true villains. Yes, Sasorina is back, and ready to capitalize on more girls having bad days. Charming lady, she is.

I love the fact that Soccer Girl’s (her name is actually Sayaka but let’s save calling her that for if she ever shows up after this episode) heart flower is a different species than Erika’s. It makes total sense, but it shows an attention to detail that I don’t think you’re necessarily guaranteed in a show like this. It’s just a nice way of showing that whoever was in charge of such things actually cared about putting some thematic coherence in here.

Now, that may be slightly undercut by the fact that the Desertrian this time around is what I am going to go ahead and call a Soccer Golem, because look at it, that’s a Soccer Golem.

The fact that there are not significantly more shows that feature Soccer Golems in minor antagonistic roles is frankly an indictment of the imagination and storytelling ability of our species in general.

Anywho, Tsubomi transforms, and Erika kind of majorly fangirls out in what might be my single favorite frame I’ve captured of this series so far.

There’s a bit of the general back-and-forth, a type you’re well acquainted with if you’ve ever seen a kids’ action series ever. I want to make special mention of Sayaka’s voice actress **really** hamming it up as the Soccer Golem, she really reaches into what sounds like the upper register of her range to make the thing sound truly griefstricken and half-mad.

Which is a bit of a lot to put in when you’re playing, again, a Soccer Golem, but serious props for commitment.

Sadly Cure Blossom doesn’t quite seem to be able to quite cut it on her own this time. Which Erika, watching nearby, just cannot stand.

When your friend is being beat on by a Soccer Golem.

So with minimal convincing, Erika takes the plunge.

God I love this franchise.

I will of course embed Erika’s transformation into Cure Marine right here, but there’s a specific part I want to talk about. During her transformation sequence, she briefly cradles her own head and smiles. I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but it’s A) really friggin’ cute and B) a visual sign of self-love from a girl who we well know feels inadequate compared to her beautiful older sister. So the idea that Cure Marine’s transformation helps her accept herself is really actually quite sweet.

youtube

And it’s good to get that sweetness in before Marine promptly kicks a ridiculous amount of ass in a very short amount of time. Seriously, the fight scene is maybe half the length of the prior episode’s just because Marine stomps out the Soccer Golem so efficiently.

Have been roundly defeated yet again, Sasorina falls back, thus ending the main part of the episode. Also, this happens again, so I suppose this is going to be a recurring image on this blog.

Will I take a screencap every time it happens? Time will tell.

Blossom I love you but you didn’t do shit this time around.

The two console Sayaka as she awakes from her magically-induced post-transformation coma. Though the adult part of me does wonder how long this particular genre of excuse is going to hold up.

Sayaka’s solution to her earlier woes is to found a girls’ soccer club. Which, well, it doesn’t really solve the fundamental problem, but it’s something, and probably about all a student in her position could reasonably be expected to do. Anything more realistic (a parent raising a fuss or something like that) would be well outside the scope of this show, and it does fit in with the apparent theme of self-empowerment we’ve got running here.

There’s also a little coda tying up a minor plot point at the very end of the episode. Where Erika presents the repaired doll that Sasorina used to turn her into a Desertrian to Tsubomi. By the power of miraculous plot coincidence, the little girl who lost the doll in the first place happens to be walking by with her mom. This would be objectionable only if it didn’t lead to this irresponsibly cute frame.

It’s been a brisk three episodes--less so for me than a regular viewer given that I’m pausing and rewinding to take screencaps, but still--and I wonder where the show will head from here on out. I’ve yet to reach an episode that I felt comfortable covering in a post that wasn’t dedicated solely to it--a new Cure being introduced is of course a major event--perhaps we’ll get to episodes that aren’t quite so relevant to the main narrative through-line soon.

“And as much as they hurt me, I don't want to change a thing.

How about you, Caleb Widogast?"

Imagined screencap for C2E141, Fond Farewells. The wizards travel back to Aeor for Caleb’s epilogue.

Done as part of Weekly CR Screencap series. I’m working on a masterpost for them all 💜

I might actually comic this scene, I picture it so vividly. If I can see through the tears that is.

For anyone new, I draw weekly (obviously unofficial) illustrations for each new Critical Role Campaign 3 episode. As both a challenge and treat to myself, I use them to practice making imagined screencaps of the Hells animated. Tentatively working towards learning to make actual concept keyframes.

And for off-weeks I treat them as a free-for-all to whatever CR scene I wanna draw 😆

Bare with me as I figure out the best way to share / organise my ridiculous amounts of art and projects over here, so for now have the art for C3E40 “Compulsions” 💜
