#Showgate

[happyfunballxd]

Okay, I caved...

Some outfits changed more than others xD I really only had Krem, Gid and Twig in mind when I started. Torbek's clothes actually got NICER. And Frost got the short end of the stick cuz I don't think that hat goes with the vibe, but not giving him something to flop over his head feels weird. Maybe he lost his proper hat, and Gricko gave him his or something idk

So I've got the barest form of some kind of verse under the cut.

Basically, witchlight is some kind of secret chemical, and through experimentation, Torbek winds up infused with it. Somehow Garou gets ahold of him, and Kremy, who works for him as a showgator, but wants out, breaks Torbek out so he can use him for cons. While trying to escape, they steal an old airship that happens to belong to Gricko, with his daughter and their mechanic, Gid. Eventually Professor Frost gets wrangled into this when they go to him for info on witchlight, and Twig come in somehow I haven't decided yet.

More villains to be added, probably the hags and KoH at some point.

Property Brothers is my shit

[bridgettcains]

I’m almost ready to head to Melbourne Fringe to perform with the After Hours Cabaret Club, and with Cirque Nocturne. Nocturne’s only running the first four nights of the festival, in the same venue, immediately following After Hours, so you should definitely grab tickets to both and spend an evening watching my talented friends and I doing fun things in a Spiegeltent. Also, After Hours has different guest performers each night, and the core cast will be switching to new acts halfway through the season, so you should aim to see us at least twice! (It’s ok, nobody ever spells my name correctly).

My all-time favorite shows in no particular order: Xfiles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Psych, Spartacus, Law & Order: SVU, Trailer Park Boys (on netflix, you guys gotta watch it), The Office, Arrested Developement, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Those are just the ones that I can really think of off the top of my head but they are definetly the ones that I can watch all day nonstop

Showgate?

I’m a basic bitch.

I stayed through Teen Wolf through it’s messy 6 seasons (I don’t ship that white St*rek trash nonsense). I also watch a lot of superhero shows, even though they’re trash too (Supergirl, what you doin’?). But if you wanna know my “pick me up when I’m feeling down” shows:

Psych: Greatest show of all time with the greatest cast of all time.

Happy Endings: One of the best cast chemistry around and shame on ABC for letting this gem of a show get cancelled.

Monk: Psych’s more serious older sibling. Good content, funny lead, quality show.

Sex and the City: No comment other than I just love Samantha’s realness and Carrie’s messy love life.

Nostalgia Glasses: Canaan - Part 1 (Background + Eps. 1-3)

This was one of the series that really got me into anime back when I was around 14 years old. It introduced me to the action genre of anime and got me into scenes of fluid animation for the sake of making the fights look really cool. And honestly, as far as the first few episodes go this series still holds up really well. I mean we all like things that aren’t good when we’re 14 but this was the first real time when I liked something that was really well done.

So much so in fact that two characters from this series, Santana and Hako, were major inspirations for Kali and Aria from my writing, which isn’t currently published or available for reading. I actually had to change Aria’s character to having her black as well as only having a weaponized voice when she sings because she was a bit too much like Hako. Kali’s death scene was also originally a shot for shot remake of Santana’s death scene. The death scene has been removed now that I’ve rewritten a few characters.

My first published work was in a school magazine that was sold to people outside of the school that we wrote in collaboration with the school paper. it was a Canaan fan fiction centering around Hako and her own inner monologue. it got a couple of my classmates to watch the series but was otherwise shitty, that’s actually up on my fanfiction.net account currently here:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9212506/1/Tormented-Thoughts 

It was also the anime I introduced my younger brother into anime with. So it holds a special place in my heart because of that.

I also got a copy of the series on bluray for by birthday yesterday, so that’s a good reason to jump into doing this now.

Episode 1: Evil, Flood-Colored City

Going into this series I’m remind of how well it sets up it’s tone. It’s an action series and it starts off with a series of shots introducing us briefly to both Canaan (one of the two protagonists) and Alphard (the antagonist). Canaan is shooting balloons with real bullets, which serves to show that she doesn’t really have a concept of value or currency. She’s a mercenary and that’s all she’s really know. Her professionalism is shown off with the fact that she’s wearing a military cap to keep the sun out of her eyes while she shoots and by the fact that she doesn’t miss a single shot. Alphard is being taken into custody by the military, this establishes that she’s not on the good side of the law and insinuates that she’s either grown sloppy or got captured on purpose to gain a strategic advantage against the government.

We also get a monologue spoken by Andrew Love, as his character in this series. About how Canaan and Alphard came from two very different worlds and that Canaan shouldn’t be using her negative emotion to move her forward when Alphard is doing the same thing. So without even giving us an inciting incident in the first 10 minutes of the series they’ve already given us Canaan’s inner conflict; the fact that she has to defeat Alphard through compassionate means rather than hateful ones.

So enough on literally the first two minutes of the series.

On to the main characters of the first couple of episodes. Maria Osawa (which has to be a reference to the porn star Maria Ozama) and how Mino. I honestly like both of their characters. Maria is both naive and optimistic yet it doesn’t come off as overly annoying, like a lot of other overly happy anime characters come off as. Mino is a more stereotypical male character but at the same time he’s quite likable. He’s a down on his luck journalist just trying to get a good story for his paper while on a trip to China. He’s pulled into all this stuff against his will. He follows up on any lead he can and shows a great dedication to his job. And he’s doesn’t come off as a pretentious jerk like Frank West from Dead Rising.

Throughout the latter half of the episode we’re introduced to the relationship between Canaan and Maria. Whereas Canaan is merciless when fighting she shows a really soft side toward Maria because of their history together. She comes off as socially inept.

I’d actually venture to say that Canaan has high functioning level 1 autism. She’s completely capable of functioning as a part of society but doesn’t like being a part of society. It could be the fact that whenever she goes outside she gets a literal sensory overload, which is common for people with autism. Though the sensory overload is caused by her synesthesia, rather than a disability. It’s just interesting to bring up those similarities between how her synesthesia affects her and how autism affects a lot of high functioning individuals.

This is coming from an individual with autism who’s done quite a bit of research into his own disability.

Episode 2: Worthless Games

The second episode gives us a lot more information about the world this series takes place in. Alphard leading a terrorist group named Snake. The nature of Maria and Canaan’s relationship. And much more.

Throughout this episode you start to get this feeling that a lot of the terrorist attacks are linked through a common group, though you still don’t know who they are. You know Liang Qi has something to do with it but it’s not completely clear if Alphard has any knowledge about it. You also find out a lot about Maria’s past, her amnesia that doesn’t turn her completely stupid like it seems to do for every other character that falls under this trope and her relations to synesthesia and the Ua virus, a virus with a 100% mortality rate that she’s the only person to survive, due to the valiant efforts of her Doctor father.

This episode mostly serves to give us exposition and develop the characters a bit more before sending us further into the plot. it also serves to set up later events and give Alphard a reason to let herself get captured by the Chinese government. She mentions something about an anti-terrorism conference, what better place to commit an act of terrorism. Security will also be relatively lax if there’s a lesser threat of terrorism, what with Alphard being olut of the picture and her organization being without proper leadership.

Liang Qi shows that she can’t take rejection from Alphard by taking her anger out on her coworker... Well, I’d more so call Cummings her submissive even if she does act as his assistant. it’s made very obvious by that fact that he drops an important call when Liang Qi needs to take out her anger on somebody and just takes the abuse. Alphard seems to share a mutual respect with Cummings at this point and Liang Qi probably hates this.

This was also the episode where I was kind of struck by the fact that this anime still looks really good 8 years after it started airing. Anime today all kind of looks the same, and that’s not me being some grumpy old man, I’m only 22. A-1 Pictures created this face template that’s used in all of their series. That make most of the anime in Japan right now so that same facial template is in more series than it isn’t in. Seeing a stylized series that looks like it could have been hand drawn with amazing fight animation is really refreshing. Style-wise this is probably my favorite series of the last decade.

We also get to hear Maria’s inner monologue, and experience how depressed and self conscious she really is. It’s a really nice contrast between her outward and inward personalities.

Episode 3: Trivialities

So we see a more sarcastic side of Maria’s personality in this episode when they go to a cosplay bar. Yes Hako is extremely sexualized in this part of the series, but she works at a cosplay bar. We also get a comic relief scene of Mino trying to get information from Hako but failing due to being nervous, because she’s a gorgeous woman with her breasts outside of the shirt. At this point you do start to get this feeling that maybe the Japanese writers are portraying Chinese people as a bit too aggressive and going into a bunch of Japanese taboos. Though the joke about Chinese cab drivers in the last episode was actually pretty funny because of how true it is.

And then we get a scene of Canaan doing a cats cradle with copper wire. Showing her immense, yet still human, physical strength. It’s interesting to note how she’s designed as a teenage girl because she hasn’t yet gone through puberty even though she’s in her twenties, her synesthesia stops her from having a period so she can’t go through 

Liang Qi continues to show her hatred for Canaan and an obsession with Alphard. In fact, much like how Cummings acts as her submissive and takes her abuse (which isn’t good by the way), Liang Qi takes the insults from Alphard and continues to show complete devotion to her, being submissive to her while still taking her repressed anger out on Cummings.

Going further into this episode there’s a noticeable difference between the sound mixing int he prior episodes of the dub (suck it up) and the 3rd on.

And, just through her conversations with Maria I think my theory that she has autism stands a bit more ground. The lines for the other characters are written relatively normally, you can picture a normie talking like Alphard, Maria, or Mino. But Canaan’s dialogue is written strangely when compared to the other characters. She’s socially awkward, doesn’t understand more advanced social situations, and gets really excited when going out with friends. Most people wouldn’t outright say that it’s their first time having fun with a friend or rudely interrupt other people to repeat something she’d said before. I know it could be argued that she’s just weird and with good reason, but in what situation could she get a diagnosis. So she may not be diagnosed by I think she might be an autistic character. She’s sociopathic, a lot of people with autism are sociopaths, which are commonly mistaken for psychopaths (sociopaths can still feel compassion and empathy but only for a select few people). I myself an not a sociopath, as not all people with autism are, but a good portion of us are. The way she walks away from Maria at the end of the episode speak volumes about how she’s still capable of becoming emotionally hurt by another person’s actions, and her lack of understand of Maria’s own moral compass also shows that she doesn’t fully understand other people or societal norms, as most people view murder as wrong.

So that’s the first part of my Canaan retrospective, I hope you didn’t get triggered when I talked about autism and I hope you enjoyed the rest of the analysis of the first three episodes of the series. So far this series really does stand out.

Showgate

Shameless: literally this show is hilarious and frank is savage Jane the Virgin: funny, sad, and romantic Reign: drama filled and each episode feels like a season Game of Thrones: you never knew tv to be so good until you've seen this show.
