Thank you, @tv-taught-me-how-to-flail for the prompt:

I could go for some warrior nun angst if you’re up for it (preferably one with a happy ending though) something like it’s the finale battle and Ava tricks the nuns and locks them in a cell cuz she doesn’t want any members of her new found family to get die in the battle, and she says her last goodbyes 😢 Would love of there was some avatrice thrown in there too 😉

So, I’m going to try. I’m not sure if I can write angst, though. I’m also not sure Ava would deliberately plan to lock them and leave them to self-sacrifice. It would be an impulse by fear on the moment. I hope it meets your expectations. You can read it on AO3 if you rather.

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

This is wrong. Nothing is going as Ava thought it would be going. She has been training so hard since the Vatican, she shouldn’t be feeling so defeated already, she shouldn’t be defeated, period. Of course, she wasn’t expecting it to be easy, but this feels like losing. This feels like failing. Like she failed. All she can think about is that she failed and her family is going to die because of it.

She can see Mary, badass Mary, running out of ammo. Sweet Camila panting, scared. Scary Lilith roaring and lashing out. Perfect Beatrice dividing her attention between her own fights and covering Ava’s back. Because she’s frozen in place, Ava is. She promised she was going to be the last Warrior Nun, and she’s going to keep this promise. She’s keeping this promise without letting any of her sisters died. So, she straightens up, looks around. They’ve been cornered inside a sort of closed plaza, surrounded by four walls and the only entrance has been blocked with debris. Adriel is on the other side, Ava sent him flying with a potent burst of the Halo when she saw he had Lilith by the neck.

He told Ava all about how he was going to kill her sisters one by one in front of her. “Starting with the hellhound”, he had said. He’s been whispering about it in her dreams, too. For weeks. Weeks of her waking with screams and panic attacks. Weeks of them talking about those dreams and planing accordingly. And yet, it’s all wrong. But she’s going to fix this. She will not let him kill them. She’s on borrowed time, anyway.

The horde of possessed is almost completely contained, now. But Ava thinks it’s enough to have her sisters occupied while she goes and finishes this. She levitates and uses enough of the Halo to slow the advance of the enemies. She knows she can’t stop them for long, just a moment to tell her final goodbye. They’re all looking at her now, confused, a mixture of frowns that range from bewildered to outraged.

“Ava?” It’s Beatrice, of course. “What’s going on?”

“I... I love you guys. I never thought, even in my wildest dreams, that I would live such an adventure or have a family. And you gave me this.”

“What the fuck are you talking about” Mary’s never been good at feeling out of the loop.

“I promised I was going to be the last Warrior Nun. And I’m going to finish this.”

“Ava, no”

"I’m not gonna let him kill you!”

“Why are you like this? Get your skinny ass down here, so we can contain the possessed and go send your daddy back to hell” Ava scrunches her face at Mary.

“Ew! He’s not my daddy!”

“Are you sure? Because you’re kind of making want to kill you right now”

“Would you both stop? Ava, please. You are not going to go by yourself. That was not the plan.” Beatrice is starting to look pissed.

“That's actually the exact opposite of the plan” Camila says, huffing a little.

“The most important part of the plan is where neither of you die!”

“The most important part of the plan is: trust your team”, ok now she’s officially angry then. But Ava softens.

“I trust my team. But I love my family more.”

“You said you promised to be the last. That doesn’t have to mean you die.”

“Hey, maybe I can beat him by myself.”

“You can, but there’s no need to risk it when you can have back-up. You do not need to do this alone, Ava.”

“He promised he would make me watch him kill you. I won’t allow it, Beatrice!”

“And I promised you that you’d never be alone again!”

Ava can feel her hold on the possessed weakening. So she has to end this. She can feel tears starting to run down her cheeks. She looks at them, one by one.

“I love you.” And she phases through the wall leaving behind a symphony of yells and curses. She takes a moment to compose herself, before going in search for Adriel.

She finds him lying in the ground. If she took a moment she’d see he looks like he can’t even stand up. But she’s blinded by fear. And he can sense this.

“Well, did you finally decide to be a worthy Warrior, then, child?”

“Shut up. I decided I’m going to send you back to hell!” And he has the audacity of laughing.

“Please. We both know how this is going to end. I’m going to rip my Halo from your back, and I’m going to claim my rightful place as master of the world, while you lie there dying slowly and alone.”

“Big talk for a dude who’s not even standing.”

“I could kill you without the use of my limbs!”

“Like the Black Knight?” And he looks so confused, it would be funny. “Monty Python? Oh, wait. You could not know about it... Wait! Was it a real event?”

“Silence! You’ve overstayed your welcome, Warrior Nun. It’s my time now!” In a flash he’s in her space. Her reflex is to swipe her sword at him, which is a testament of the long training sessions with Lilith, and Beatrice and Mary and Camila. They spar for a while. But she’s starting to get worried that her sisters are going to burst out at any moment. And that’s the only opening Adriel needs.

He sweeps her off her feet, and she lays hard on the ground, face first, so he has the chance to press a knee on her back. She’s expecting him to reach a hand, like he did on his tomb, but he’s fumbling for something. And then she feels the cut and heat of divinium on her skin. She barely can avoid screaming.

“It’s over child. Thank you for following my instructions so well. You thought you were helping them? You thought this would spare them? Did you think at all?” She is screaming now, and crying, because it hurts, and she’s alone.

There’s a thunk and thump, and then a very distinctive snort followed by a:

“She never thinks.” And Ava may be delirious because that sounds like Lilith.

“Ava!” And that sounds like Beatrice. And the hand helping her turn and cupping her cheek feels like Beatrice, too. “Ava?” But she doesn’t want to open her eyes, because it will be devastating to realize she’s dying alone on the ground.

“The wound is a little deep, and she’s bleeding a lot. But I can patch it temporarily while we finish here and get to safety.” Her brain is conjuring images of Camila at her back.

Then she’s been lifted of the ground, and now she frowns because, sure, she has a very vivid imagination, product of twelve years of emotional abuse while paralyzed in a bed, but never this vivid. And never as violent as actually feeling someone smack her hard on the back of the head.

“Ow!”

“You stupid, stupid girl. If you think this is all the repercussion you’re going to get for being the dumbest Warrior Nun ever, you’re even more stupid than I’ve just stated.”

“Mary, I don’t believe it’s the time for this.” Even in her dreams Beatrice comes to her defense.

“And I don’t believe hitting her in the head will help make her less stupid.” Ok, so now Ava opens her eyes, because that was definitely Lilith adding insults to the growing pile.

“What?...”

“Oh hey, stupid! Are you done being a drama queen?”

“Mary...” Beatrice sounds tired when she sighs the gunslinger’s name. Then she’s cupping Ava’s face: “Ava? Can you look at me, please?” Of course she does, she always wants to look at Beatrice. “I think she needs a second to recover.”

“Whats’... How...?”

“Did you really think we were going to let you run off like a self-sacrificing martyr?” And wow, ok, Camila has a bite.

“You also forgot I can open portals.” Oh, that’s right. Lilith can open portals, she’s also been training and exploring her new powers. It’s actually one of the ways they’ve bonded a lot.

“But, we were overrun by the possessed”

“Yes, Ava. The plan shifted. But we still had it under control. And if you have stopped to listen to us for a second you would have realized that we were containing the threat of the possessed to then be able to face Adriel together properly.”

“Oh.” Yes, Beatrice is definitely angry at her.

“Yes, oh. Now quit the drama and finish the dude.” There’s what Ava could only describe as an evil laugh coming from Adriel who’s still on the ground, panting.

“You think you children can defeat me? Areala, who was an actual Warrior could only hide me away on a tomb.”

“You said that like she sent you on a cruise, dumbass.” It’s Mary.

“I said that as someone who can escape again, fool.”

“We know we can kill you.” Beatrice.

“And we know we can’t contain you here.” Camila.

“We also know who’s eager to get their hands on you.” Lilith, who then turns to Ava: “Ready?” And yeah. She’s ready to send this demon back to hell. Literally.

“Yeah. Ready” Ava picks her sword with a pained grimace. And before she can take the couple of steps that separate her from Adriel, she feels a strong, delicate hand on her shoulder, so she turns to Beatrice.

“Remember, spend as much Halo energy as possible without depleting it completely. We want it’s signal to be muted, but not enough to put you at risk.” She nods, and proceeds to lift her sword over her head to strike.

“What do you think you’re doing? You can’t kill me!”

“Like they said, we know. But we can hurt you before we gift you away.”

She summons as much as the Halo power as she dares before striking him down. His pained screams fill the open space around them, but she keeps the sword in him until she starts to feel weak. Then she stops, and stumbles back into strong arms that hold her up. That’s when Lilith comes forward and looks at him like he’s a bug she just crushed under her boot and is disgusted to have to clean it up. She lifts her claws, and he flinches, it’s so satisfying to see. But she doesn’t strike as he expects, she opens a huge portal and after a couple of seconds of nothing, they hear a deafening roar, the thunderous approach until the imposing form of the Tarask appears through the portal.

Adriel chokes out a whimpering “No” catching the full attention of the monster, who promptly drags him through the closing portal. Lilith sags into the calm that follows, but Mary is there, ready to assist her.

“All right. You freaks good to go?”

“Mary, I don’t appreciate you calling them that” Breatice is truly a saint.

“Oh, but they love it. Right, Satan?”

“Fuck off.”

“Lilith, language!” But Camila sounds suspiciously like holding back a smile. They bicker the whole way to the van. Beatrice half carrying Ava, and Mary supporting Lilith, leaving Camila to load their weapons inside and start the vehicle.

Mary deposites Lilith in the passenger seat. while she herself takes the cargo section for herself stating that “I’m too old for this shit. Need to stretch my legs.” Leaving Ava and Beatrice in the back seat.

Ava is exhausted and she’s ready to let the darkness take her for a while. But Beatrice is caressing her face and speaking... Oh, right, she should listen.

“Ava? Are you listening?”

“Yeah”

“I know you’re tired, but I need to do quick check, all right?”

“Yeah”

“Good. Tell me what hurts.”

“Everything”

“Right. Tell me what hurts the most, then”

“Uh, my back? My head, too. My face... because I’m so cute.”

There’s a collection of groans from the front and the back, but Beatrice is smiling down at her, and that’s really all that matter.

“We’ll be back home in about two hours, so you can have some rest. But I want you to be properly tended to in the infermary when we arrive. Understood?”

“Yes, ma’am!” But the ma’am morphs into a yawn and it looses all the cool, filtry effect she was going for.

“Please, don’t ever do that again.” Beatrice whispers and suddenly the air is heavy inside the van.

“I’m sorry. I just... He had Lilith, right how he said he would. I...”

“You allowed him get inside your head.” Lilith interrupts. “Which was what he wanted. He knew that was his best shot at getting the Halo.”

“That’s why you talked to us about them and we worked on it, remember?” Oh, good. At least Camila is back at being sweet.

“So, we need to work on your panic attacks and traumas, kid. Get ready for that.” And Ava actually whines at Mary’s words, because that doesn’t sound like fun.

“Not right away, though. First we heal and rest.” God, she loves Beatrice.

“And kid?” She didn’t realize she closed her eyes, until Mary calls out to her. So she opens them and twist her neck a little to look at her pearing from the back. “We love you, too. You know that right? You’re our family, too.”

Aw man, she’s all emotional again. She just wanted to be a badass like the rest of them. She feels Beatrice nod, and turns to see Lilith doing the same from the front seat. Camila is smiling at her through the rearview mirror: “It’s true, Ava.” Camila has such a pretty smile. But Beatrice has the prettiest smile. Beatrice has the prettiest everything.

“Rest now.” Beatrice says as she bends to place a tender kiss to Ava’s forehead. But then whispers in her ear: “I think you have the prettiest everything, too.” And she has the sexiest smirk painted on her lips, so Ava can’t seem to be able to respond. Just a flicker of a thought right before exhaustion claims her:

Wait, did I say that out loud?

Fakemon Ideas

If anyone would like to draw any of these or use them in a fan game feel free to do so. All I ask is credit for the idea. By the way I came up with most of the ideas before Gen V was even an idea.

New Type is Strong against - S, New Type is Weak against - W, Neutral - =

LIGHT

Pokemon with this type can emit, control, and absorb the element of light. Many if not most pokemon with this type exhibit an honorable personality Examples of existing pokemon who would get this type are the Musketeer Quartet (replaces fighting), Shinx line, Volbeat/Illumise and the Mime line Examples of moves with this type are Flash, Light Screen, and a move I thought of called Prism Parade (the pokemon rushes towards the foe and splits as if they were filtered through a prism and strikes the foe anywhere from 1-7 times) Normal- = Fighting- = Fire- = Water- W (water scatters light) Flying- S (Light blinds them) Poison- = Grass- = Elec- = Ground- W (Light doesn’t reach that far underground) Rock- = Psychic- = Ice- S (Light heats and melts ice) Bug- S (Bugs are drawn to light) Ghost- S (Light dispels ghosts) Dragon- = Dark- = Steel- = Fairy- = Sound- =

SOUND

Pokemon with this type can emit, control, and absorb sound waves Examples of existing pokemon with the Sound type are the Jigglypuff line, the Whismur line, Chatot, Meloetta, Examples of moves with this type are screech, supersonic, perish song, and others Normal- = Fighting- S (the loud noises distract the fighter) Fire- S (the shockwaves put out the fire) Water- S (Water increases sound so it backfires against the water pokemon) Flying- = Poison- = Grass- = Elec- = Ground- = Rock- = Psychic- S (the noises prevent them from focusing) Ice- = Bug- = Ghost- = Dragon- = Dark- = Steel- W (the sound bounces off the metal) Fairy- = Fakemon under the cut PLEASE READ THEM

#92 Labyrinth (1986)

Right out of the Muppets and into the Labyrinth... I am very glad I watched this movie before I dug into that project, because I think I would have rage quit this whole thing. This list has a Jim Henson bias, which is semi-understandable, but like... 8 movies? Out of 100? There aren’t better musical movies than these?

Family Video rents most old movies for like .50, but because of the world slowly ending, the one by my house was closed and I was forced to pay $3.99 to stream Labyrinth. It was about $3.49 too much. I don’t understand how Jim Henson, George Lucas, Terry Jones, and David Bowie could get together and make such a mediocre film. Like, honestly, the entire time I just wanted the movie to end so I could watch Flight of the Conchords and laugh at some truly ridiculous Bowie-related content.

A self-involved teenage girl named Sarah is politely asked by her stepmother to babysit her little brother. Sarah decides to take her angst out on a literal infant by offering him up to a goblin king, freeing up her time so she can wander the streets reciting dialogue from a play to herself, which is super important, guys, there’s no way she could have done that in her own home.

Jareth, the Goblin King, who is also David Bowie, is in love (!?) with 15-year-old Jennifer Connelly, and shows up to steal her little brother, leaving a glitter trail behind him. Sarah decides suddenly she wants the burden of being an older sister, and follows him to the Goblin City to get the kid back.

She is immediately greeted by Hoggle, a puppet that simultaneously looks like the animatronic tree trolls in Maelstrom and Mel Brooks dressed up like Yogurt.

He tells her the only way she can get to the castle of the Goblin King is to first make her way through the Labyrinth. In an effort to save money on sets, they have Sarah run the same glitter herpes infected stretch of it for 5 minutes, complaining it goes on forever, without having the thought she could use any of the trees to climb up the wall and jump over it. An actual adorable worm takes pity on her and tells her to walk through the wall, because he’s sick of seeing her pace back and forth. Sarah learns that everything in the Labyrinth is not as it seems.

David Bowie, observing how slowly Sarah is making her way through the maze, does a preemptive “I’ve stolen a child to raise for nefarious purposes and there’s no way she’s going to get him back” celebration dance.

youtube

I discovered Sting was Jim Henson’s first pick for Jareth (presumably because he saw how excellent his acting was in Dune) but his son talked him into approaching David Bowie for the project. I would give anything to know what that conversation was like.

“Now, picture this... you are a goblin king, and you’re going to steal a kid. The great majority of the movie you’ll either be trying to entertain an infant, lust after a teenager, or dance with creepy fucking puppets. Also, we need you to write all the songs. We cool?”

I should probably take this moment to mention that I’m not a huge David Bowie fan (I know, I know... it’s terrible), so it’s hard for me to consider how appealing these songs are to those who like his type of synth-pop. They fit the mood of the film, but I don’t feel like they add anything particularly special to the narrative. Labyrinth easily could have not been a musical and nothing would have been lost.

Anyway, Sarah continues to truck her way though the maze and runs into Alice in Wonderland-style talking playing cards that ask her to pick a door, and then assist her in falling through a rabbit hole. She is accosted by nightmare-fuel hand faces that ask if she wants to be molested up out of the pit, or down into it.

She decides to go farther down into hell, where she runs into Hoggle and convinces him to help her get through the maze in exchange for a fancy plastic bracelet. It’s about around this time where Jareth intervenes to grab some constructive criticism about her experience.

Not very much, David. Not very much.

Being frustrated with her answer, he sicks the cleaners on Sarah and Hoggle, which is a drill driven by two guys on a bicycle. After avoiding certain death, they are greeted by a series of verbally abusive rock faces, who apologize for just doing their job.

Here’s the thing about this movie - The sets and the puppets are awesome (although super fucking creepy), and they are used for some really great visual gags. But all the craftsmanship is crushed under the weight of a truly unremarkable, low-stakes story. I tried to write this summary for over a week, and every time I tied, I got bogged down trying to come up with what the fuck I’m going to say. The plot is like if Monty Python and the Holy Grail and every Disney movie fairy tale cliche had a puppet baby, and I’m just bored. Let’s fast forward through the rest of the Labyrinth, shall we?

Hoggle and Sarah run into a large dog-looking thing named Ludo (not Pluto), who is being attacked by a bunch of things that look like the naked mole rat anti-christ from South Park’s Woodland Critter Christmas. They save him, work their way through another set of doors, listen to a musical number by a group of demonic Crash Bandicoots, and trudge through a bad smelling swamp. They are then introduced to the only cute thing in the entire movie, a fox-looking puss-in-boots that pulls a Gandalf and a black knight.

Sarah convinces Sir Didymus and his big Hammerlock energy to help them reach the castle, and he joins their group. She then gets poisoned and trapped in a dream bubble, where she wears a gown that looks like it would melt if exposed to an open flame and lusts after a grown-ass man who yanked her brother out the window like the Lindbergh baby.

She escapes from the dream, reunites with her party, and storms the castle. They are immediately confronted by the coolest monster ever to be made out of a door, and Hoggle Shinji’s his way into the mecha and takes it down from the inside.

Seriously, this, and the battle that ensues afterward, is peak Jim Henson. From Ludo opening up the wall to enter the house, to the exploding cannon, to the goblins going down like bowling pins... I was increasingly impressed by the work and care that clearly went into creating these scenes. If only the rest of the movie were this captivating.

youtube

Sarah finally confronts Jareth in the castle, and the big climax of the movie is... David Bowie whining that Sarah is ungrateful that he stole and babysat her brother for a few hours, while she runs through an M.C. Escher painting to grab Toby. No, seriously.

Sarah jumps out of the rabbit hole and returns back to her house to find Toby in his crib. She celebrates by throwing a party with all the puppets in her bedroom, while Jareth turns into an owl and buggers off to make some other teenager walk through a maze for 2 hours.

Now to prepare myself for some 1950s Baltimore camp, because Cry-Baby is next.

617: "Caesar's Defeat! The Powerful Grizzly Magnum!"

Basically Caesar: “REEEEEEEEEEEEE, SCIENCE!!!”

Only had time for one episode today but caught a snippet of the preview and it seems like posting for one episode here will fit in terms of the story arc.

Caesar is down and out, Law has done what he came to do, and Luffy has executed step one of his plan to kick ass and kidnap! Now all he needs is the fantastically badass Usopp to come through with the cuffs and step two will be on the cards!

It’s all a matter of escaping Punk Hazard with Caesar in tow, plus Law, the Strawhats, a bunch of kids and maybe some surviving Minions and the G5 and Smoker and Tashigi and Foxfire and Momonosuke and Brownbeard.

Yeah, I hope Franky has some extra bed rolls hidden away in storage because that is a lot of extra bodies on Sunny.

Sanji will be fine. He worked at Baratie. He’s used to mass catering.

Law Tries Out His Stand Up Material On Vergo

In other news, Vergo is still alive. I kind of hoped Law might have taken him out but this is One Piece and you guys have always said that Oda sees a future for most of his characters. (Even Wapol. Yes, I am still salty about Wapol.) Smoker was on the ground, breathing hard. Getting fresh air for once, instead of dat tasty tobacco.

Vergo is also still shit-talking. “You broke the gear? There’s no turning back? That’s hysterical.”

Brave for a guy who was (at that point) in two pieces with a building crumbling rapidly around him. Not to mention the noxious clouds of gas.

Then he used his hands to spring from the ground and attack Law. He was Roomed and doomed in two seconds, chopped into fractions and hung on the railings. (Approaching Nightmare Fuel territory if you think too much about it.)

Vergo totally reminds me of the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Life of Brian. If you’ve never heard of it, he’s basically this dude who keeps getting up and shit-talking his opponents even after the removal of all his limbs. It’s funny. Vergo even made a joke about it. “How will I eat breakfast tomorrow?” Yeah, he almost went full Black Knight there.

Except for the little serious turn when he threatened Law with Doflamingo’s past.

“How dare you, Law? This is an upset. But I know you’re going to regret it. Keep that in mind. You don’t know Joker’s past and that will cost you your life. Upstarts like you can’t hope to take over the world. It’s filled with those who are much stronger. Tell him, Smoker!”

First of all, why was he appealing to Smoker to back him up like a kid in a playground? The brazen cheek of it. As if. I’m glad Smoker blanked him and sparked up a fat Cuban cigar.

Secondly, what is all this about Doflamingo’s past? Why would that matter to Law? I’m trying to think what could possibly affect Law as much as Vergo says and I’m drawing a blank.The only thing that might be a bit meh is if Doflamingo was once a Marine. We already had that twist with Vergo.

At any rate, Law had had enough with Vergo running his mouth, and chopped his head into two pieces.

“Don’t worry about me. Just worry about yourself. This room will explode soon. Goodbye, Vergo the pirate.”

I ain’t bothered about Vergo. That guy is too arrogant for his own good and Law gave him a well-deserved taste of defeat. I just hope Law took Smoker with him.(It’d be hilarious if Law carried Smoker over his shoulder and they ran into Zoro carrying Tashigi over his shoulder. xD)

Speaking of Well-Deserved Tastes of Defeat...

This guy...

I love a charismatic, melodramatic, total piece of crap villain, but Oda did a great job of making me loathe Caesar here. I think Luffy lamping him square on the chops unhinged him a little. Law destroying the SAD factory and the labs as a result probably finished Caesar off. His arrogance and cruelty was off the charts! I thought Spandam was bad. Caesar makes Spanda look like a playground bully.

I loved how when he realised Law had unleashed merry hell, Caesar’s reaction was, “Damn! Who caused that? I bet it was Law. What is Vergo doing? You Strawhats RUINED MY PARADISE!”

His paradise. Wow, that sure does give you a little peek into this dude’s mind.

And it gets better.

Caesar had a last-ditch plan to defeat Luffy. He called his Minions in the Secret Room. “R-Building, can you hear me? Secret Room, come in! Open the air vents now! Let Shinokuni flow into this room.”

The Minions, understandably, were reticent to do this because they are the kind of people who, like the Strawhats, look after their own. They asked, “but wouldn’t it kill our guys?”

Caesar was like, “Well, I’m a gas man. I’m not gonna die. You’re just guinea pigs. No one would care if hundreds of you died. You are just the dregs of society! What are you doing? Hurry up. I can find replacements for you fools so easily.”

Uh oh.

The mask came off. Caesar must have been so riled that he didn’t care if everyone saw his true nature. The poor, deluded Minions still clung to their vision of Caesar as their benevolent Master, their saviour.

“Oh, the Master is trying to fool the enemies. He must have a plan to do with the gas. It would hurt him to know we suspected him.”

Hurt him? Mate, Caesar has no feelings to be hurt. He has an ego the size of Laboon. That’s not the same thing.

So, of course the Minions pulled the lever. Shinokuni flowed into the room. And I had a facepalm moment at those poor, brainwashed Minions.

Caesar Does A Moria

“Yes! About time,” Caesar shouted. “Dregs shouldn’t think. Now, become my power, Shinokuni. Look, Strawhat! Look at his amazing appearance. This is my scientific power. Through this experiment, two countries have already expressed interest in the weapon. They are both quite peaceful but when humans get serious about defending themselves, they’ll look for any way possible to kill their enemies. Everybody needs me! I’ll spread weapons all over the world and become King of the Land of Death.”

There are a couple of things to unpack here.

First of all, Caesar is completely demented. I mean, that was always obvious. But that ambition of his is twisted and terrifying. Worse, that Doflamingo gave him the traction to actually make it happen.

Secondly, he’s insane but he’s not stupid. Caesar has an eye for business and is, weirdly, able to charm people into believing his bullshit. He also knows the darker side of human nature and how to exploit it, like he has done with those peaceful islands. He is also smug in the knowledge that big shots in governments everywhere will always want him in their corner, so there will always be a place for someone like him. That was a definite Art Mirroring Life moment right there. Harsh but true, I guess. The guy who first split the atom and invented the atomic bomb was a hot commodity, right?

Third, Caesar basically did a Gekko Moria. Caesar took it a step further because he actually gleefully killed all his Minions. Moria just took the shadows back from already dead bodies. This was the logical conclusion of Caesar seeing other people as objects or commodities to be manipulated, used or destroyed as he sees fit. The way he happily killed them all was just nasty. “It’s amazing, if I do say so myself. Look at how fast it acts on their nerves. It’s almost an art!” And when they begged him to stop, “I am your saviour and I can make efficient use of you good-for-nothings. You are just crumbs. You should not stand against your Master. Die like dogs!”

Crumbs. Dogs. Guinea pigs. Caesar always uses dehumanising language on his poor Minions. And everyone else for that matter. He really is a psychotic, nasty piece of work. If this guy is working for Doflamingo, I cannot wait to see what a horrible bastard Doflamingo turns out to be. xD

Caesar’s Off The Deep End Behaviour and his treatment of his own people caused Luffy to have the veiniest, super frown I have seen on his face so far. Luffy does not like people who betray and used their own crew/soldiers/comrades.

Luffy said to Momo, “Look after Brownbeard.” Then ran in the opposite direction. Of course, I knew Luffy was just looking to gain some distance. Caesar, of course, mistook it for Luffy chickening out all of a sudden.

There was one person who knew with absolute certainty that this was not the case.

Usopp Was Awesome Here

Can I just talk for a moment about how awesome Usopp was here?

All through this arc, he’s been ridiculously brave. He volunteered to split up with Brook and Foxfire so he could work on his own to find the Sea Prism Stone cuffs for Luffy. He was creeping round the labs on his own and when he found the Secret Room, he did not run upon being confronted with a full squad of Minions. He simply used his smarts to evade capture. Because he knew there was something in there of value and Luffy needed his help.

When the Minions saw Caesar’s true nature over the DDM feed and were finally like, “OMG this guy is awful.” Usopp just walked up to them and said, “I know you’re all broken hearted here but could I sit in that control seat for a second? I wanna save my friends from the gas.”

See that? Usopp’s loyalty to his friends trumps all sense of fear.

When the Minions tried to shake Usopp by saying, “Yeah, you’ll never escape because your Captain just cut and run. He left you guys behind.“ Usopp was Not Having One Bit Of It.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa... Are you dissing our captain right in front of me? If he were the kind of person who’d betray us, this whole thing would’ve been much easier for me. I would’ve just run away with my tail between my legs. But he never, ever stops believing in us. So we have no choice but to support him. We pledged to live up to his expectations as long as we can breathe!”

There you have it. Right from the horse’s mouth. Luffy’s faith in his crew inspires them to greater heights. And in Usopp, this is bravery. Absolutely beautiful.

And when the Minions said, “But what can we do? We can’t beat such a powerful man?” (Referring to Caesar) Usopp replied, “Yes, you can. You guys should just believe in our Captain. Caesar is the type of person that Luffy hates the most. Luffy won’t forgive Caesar.”

Usopp knows Luffy pretty well.

That Grizzly Magnum was really something else. I was expecting it to take out Caesar straight awayt but I liked that it didn’t. Caesar is the kind of villain who needs to have his pride thoroughly broken and to taste bitter, bitter defeat. If not, he’ll just tank the hit, pick himself up again and it’s back to his same old tricks.

The best portrayal of that was when Caesar was wrestling with Luffy, the Shinokuni slowly turning his hands to white powder, and he screamed, “Kneel before my power!”

Luffy will never kneel to anyone. Now, I’m not sure what those pulses of power were that drove Caesar back (Conqueror’s Haki?) but Luffy’s hit finally landed and, in a perfect moment of symbolism, Caesar’s self-made crown shattered.

He is no longer the tyrannical ruler of Punk Hazard. Caesar’s reign has come to an end.

And I can’t wait to see what happens next, because Doflamingo sent one of his lackeys to help him out.

The plot chickens.

Well, you’re gonna kidnap him, so that might be a tough one to get round.

A gallant knight with an incredible talent for art and evil cackling! It is of course, Kaenith! (Kaenith couldn’t record their transcript so I’ve included one of my fav Shadow lines so far) Name: Kaenith Character(s) you voice: Shadow Link Are you in any way like those characters? We both wear a lot of black, and like dragons? :D One of these days I definitely want to dye my hair purple, too. Favourite/least favourite thing about voicing your character? Favorite: Shadow’s so dramatic, voicing him is a lot of fun xD Plenty of opportunities to cackle like mad, or snarl in anger, or act cajoling and sneaky. Least favorite: Sometimes if I try to do his voice for too long, it starts making my throat sore. It’s not too bad, though - I just need to remember to take breaks and drink plenty of water ^^;;

Which characters did you audition for? Primarily Shadow, since I felt my voice was best suited to him. But I also read some lines for Green and Blue, in case the director felt I’d be better in a different role. How did you react when you got the part(s)? I was thrilled! Shadow’s one of my favorite characters, and the role I wanted most. Plus, I was just excited to see this project happening at all! It’s great to see activity like this in the fandom ^_^ Who do you wish you could voice? Honestly I’m happy with Shadow! Though I’ll admit a bit of envy over all the awesome creepy monster voices Alex can do – I wish my voice could do that too! Had you read the manga before taking part in the dub? Yep! Four Swords is one of my long-standing favorite fandoms. Any past voice acting experience? Not anything on this scale. I’ve recorded a few voiceovers for a couple different school projects before, but nothing like this. Who is your favourite FS character (if any)? I can’t choose between Shadow and Vio, they’re both my faves! (I love all the Links, really… but especially those two. How do you warm up/get in character before recording? I try to sing! (“try” being the key word here, haha) Shadow’s voice is fairly different from my normal speaking voice, so sometimes I have to use it for a while before it sounds right. Singing’s a good way to get a bunch of words out!I also sometimes re-listen to my own parts of previous episodes, to try and stay consistent and not have my Shadow-voice shift over time. Along those lines: Asked by Grimm Fate FS Dub I actually would love to ask a question for Kaenith: How exactly she gets into the mindset when it comes time to voice Shadow Link. I'm curious about the process. I generally have the manga open in front of me as I record. I look at Shadow’s expressions in the panels I’m voicing and try to imagine what he’s feeling and thinking, and why, and based on that, how he would say the lines. Sometimes I even try to mimic his body posture and expressions.

Favourite chapter to voice so far? Favourite scene? Ooh, good question… I enjoyed voicing the confrontation with Link’s father. I think that Link having a family and people who love him is one of the things Shadow is especially bitter and envious of, so I tried really hard to put as much venom as I could into “what a good father you are.” It’s also been a lot of fun collaborating with the other voice actors for bloopers and other projects – like the Monty Python parody that Riley wrote, or the time Swiss (and Riley!) responded to and built on one of the bloopers I’d recorded. Some of my favorite chapters and scenes in the manga are yet to come – I’m looking forward to Volume Two!Also: Asked by Anon What was the funniest/most humorous line you guys have had to say? Hm… not quite a line and more of a… vocal reaction? but I sure had fun voicing the part where Zelda slaps Shadow in the face xD I even acted it out a bit, jerking my head to the side as though I’d actually been struck. I really wanted to make sure it sounded like she hit hard; because, frankly, much as I love him, Shadow deserved it at that point in the story. (Karen: I was convinced Kae had slapped herself when I first heard this XD) Lines you dread voicing the most (screaming, crying, etc): Any time I have to laugh and speak in the same line xD Getting Shadow’s laugh right can be tricky, so trying to switch from speaking to laughing or back very quickly is a challenge. What are your biggest worries when it comes to voicing your character? At first I was really nervous that people wouldn’t think my voice was a good fit for Shadow. As I mentioned earlier, I hadn’t done much voice acting before so I wasn’t very confident in it. But a lot of people have been really kind and supportive, which helps a lot! (Karen: I can’t imagine Shadow sounding any other way now!)

Would you date your character (if they were of age)? Nah. Shadow’s great – definitely one of my favorite characters, and if he were real it might be cool to be friends with him (post-redemption) – but I don’t like him that way.*cough*besidesI’mprettysurehe’staken*cough* I mean what? I didn’t say anything. Do you have a favourite voice actor on the dub? I don’t think I could choose ^^;; Many of the other voice actors are my friends, and they all do a great job!

Also too, Hobble's phone still being connected to the human internet, she gets to show Bump the wonders of the human realm.

It feels SO bizarre and otherworldly to him, its exciting but also slightly nauseating, realizing there really is something so vast and intricate out there, a society just as varied and complex as your own that you had no idea existed until recently.

Like, before Luz arrived to the Boiling Isles, humans were nearly mythical, in the way humans think of lost civilizations. You find artifacts of theirs from time to time, but nothing that feels too tangible, and yet, here he is, seeing actual human stuff happening in real time on the internet.

Quick, show him this video/j

(Or even just the source)

No. But

I love that too

Especially the whole "humans seen as mythical" since we know how limited their knowledge on humans are (eg. Gus saying luz has dorsal fins, and boscha saying luz has venom; alongside the various misrepresentation(?) Of objects, like paperclips and phones)

They don't know

ANYTHING about humans, their anatomy, and history and all that

So to have a human just there to

Spill it all

Would understandably be mind boggling; basically what luz went through when she first arrived to the BI but reversed

Anyways

Sits

I hope you know i will now be pondering on this for the next few hours

Toys R What?

Just like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, apparently bankruptcy was but a mere flesh wound. Toys ‘R Us is not dead yet.

In what may be one of the greatest last gasps ever (and perhaps funniest, but we shall see), the lenders who helped Toys ‘R Us navigate its store closings earlier this year have hatched a plan to revive the brand names and mascot, but this time as a wholesaler of toys. The goal is to open specialty stores-within-stores at other retailers under the name Geoffrey’s Toy Box, while somehow leveraging what’s left of the brand equity in the names Toys ‘R Us and Babies ‘R Us. Of this I am uncertain and scratching my head.

Why, it’s almost like being in business again, but without all the baggage of enormous store leases and tons of inventory. News has been leaking out rather intentionally this week at the annual toy show in Dallas.

I will concede the point that the brand names may still have value, as they have successfully been implanted in the memories of practically every person alive in the US. They are not limited to the nostalgic feelings of only one generation like some stores, as shoppers have been patronizing them for decades. My memories are just as strong as those of my kids, for whom Toys ‘R Us was heaven on earth.

But if the lenders who have ownership now want the company to be reborn, why focus on Geoffrey the mascot and not the brand names themselves? Geoffrey may have been a strong mascot, but he (it?) doesn’t hold a candle to Tony the Tiger or Ronald McDonald.

For this to succeed, though, just like efforts to revive the long-defunct name Circuit City, it’s going to take much more than just a retail presence in other people’s stores. It’s going to take a strong online presence, one that can provide consumers with valid reasons to redirect gift buying budgets away from Amazon, Walmart, and Target, and in their direction. After all, high prices were one of the most commonly cited reasons why sales were so poor at Toys ‘R Us in the later years.

Toys ‘R Us may not be dead, but settling for stores-within-a-store is a lot like the Black Knight wanting to call it a draw. It’s not a draw. It’s a recipe for more disaster, because they have missed the point of this debacle.

And that is this: Toys ‘R Us had begun to suck at retailing. This still sucks. It’s a limbless attempt to try to keep fighting, and they have to hope we get close enough for them to bite us.

Not happening. This fight is over.

Your always so opena md curious about Ocs! Tell me about YOURS

They’re all garbage.

Every one of them.

Especially fandom ones. All awful.

But there are a few I’m genuinely proud of so I’m gonna talk a little about them. ((This became a bunch of headcanons I’m so sorry))

Shiloh Varela/Xiong Feng ((Put them together because I also love this pairing))

Once upon a time Feng’s name was Freddie and the ship name was Shreddie. But then I changed Feng’s nationality/ethnicity and lost the greatest ship name of all time. I guess now they’re Sheng, or Feloh.

Literally Bob and Linda Belcher from Bob’s Burgers. Shiloh is Bob, Feng is Linda.

Due to having schizophrenia, Shiloh has terrible short term memory. He would forget to brush his teeth, shower, go grocery shopping and make dinner if he didn’t write little notes to himself that are stuck around the house. He’s still the more responsible and mature one between the two of them. When they eventually have a family he’s definitely the stricter parent and the glue holding everyone together.

They first met when Shiloh had to visit the hospital for another counselling session and Feng was a nurse just starting his first day. Feng was nervous and making some mistakes and forgetting which nurse/doctor was who and Shiloh helped him out. Mostly because internally he was like what the fuck are you doing???? Do you want to lose your job????? Stop????? And Feng asked if he wanted to grab some coffee sometime, not being subtle with the flirting on who he thought was an off duty doctor or another nurse because of how much he knew but was later told nah that’s a patient, how embarrassed are you? A patient could do your job better than you.

Feng nearly drowned as a kid and was declared dead for a full minute before reviving. Ever since that day he could see what he believes to be ghosts. He’s also terrified of large bodies of water, like oceans, lakes and swimming pools. The very thought of swimming makes him physically sick.

Feng also enjoys music and keeping fit. He plays piano and the guitar and can sing really well. His parents kind of hoped he’d get into the music business seeing as their family did comprise of a lot of successful musicians and artists, but Feng is nervous around large crowds and suffers from stage fright. Literally the only people he can perform in front of is his family, which includes Shiloh. And with Shiloh it took a full two years before he became brave enough to sing for him.

Feng still wrote songs and poems for Shiloh though, keeping them all in a small journal until he felt ready to share them. Shiloh keeps every single one and whenever he feels especially shitty he takes them out to read.

Shiloh was severely abused by his parents as a child, resulting in him being distrustful and closed off from people, especially from figures of authority. He was also later disowned by them after his diagnosis of schizophrenia, them saying they didn’t want a nutcase in their home. He legally got his name changed and never ever talks about them.

Feng has colourful tattoos over most of his body, particularly his back, both of his arms and torso.

Feng dresses “smart casual” whenever he leaves the house. You know the whole suit jacket over printed tee and dark skinny jeans sort of look. But when he’s home it’s mostly pajama pants/sweat pants and Shiloh’s hoodies and there’s no colour co-ordination. This wasn’t a look he bombarded Shiloh with by the way, it crept in slowly over time.

Feng is the best cook. Shiloh is alright, like he knows not to burn things and does what the recipe tells him to, but Feng knows how to balance spices/herbs and cooks everything to absolute perfection. Despite his godlike powers over food he’s not the one cooking most of the time. That’s Shiloh. And Shiloh fucking lives for the nights when Feng is in charge of dinner.

They’re engaged and it was Shiloh who proposed. His brain sort of short circuited when he realized he had that option. He literally stopped everything he was doing to find Feng and be like, “We could get married! We could be husbands!”

Shiloh is pretty much the house husband. His mental illness means he can’t find regular work. He attends a public college for art and does commission work when he can. Feng and Feng’s family help support them financially.

Shiloh’s biggest pet peeve is people who tell him his commission prices are too high. His response is always go find someone else then. He makes free art pieces for Feng’s family because they help them out so much to begin with. His clothes are always covered in some paint or chalk or oil pastel. They also always smell like the inside of one of those art and hobby shops.

Artemis Hale ((Thief OC))

Is a trans man and has successfully hidden that fact from practically everyone around him for years.

He’s around his early to mid twenties.

Rose up in the ranks of the Watch rather quickly due to his successful arrest record. This makes him pretty unpopular among his fellow Watchmen and the criminals of the City. He does not give a shit.

He isn’t afraid to die and he views people who rely on violence and intimidation to gain respect as cowards and assholes. This makes him pretty much immune to the Thief Taker’s fear tactics.

He’s good at reading people and has no problems handing control over to another person when they need it. Such as with Garrett and Orion, two people who had reasons to suspect, fear or hate him. He willingly gives them control over their interactions, making himself submissive to them. Something he never does for the Thief Taker.

Loves researching about the old religions. Pretty much hides his copies of the books the Baron had burned several years before.

Is a very patient and calm person. Like nothing can rile this fucker. On the rare occasion that it does he just walks away to be pissed in peace.

He and Madam Xiao-Xiao are close friends, bonding over their shared love of history and the old religions and being transgender. They talk shit about the Thief Taker over tea. Sometimes wine too, it depends on how bad the week was.

He shares Garrett’s views on murder. Hale will never even consider killing someone unless they have him backed into a corner and he’s got no other options. And every death rests on his conscious. He’ll forever wonder if there was something he could have done differently to prevent it.

Is a descendant of Artemis from the original trilogy.

He suffers from resting bitch face and has a one dimpled smile. I see him as something like the Black Knight from Monty Python.

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

Custom Toonami Block Week 65 Rundown!

Oh boy this is a big on this time we have an unprecedented three finales this week! I absolutely did not plan this but it’s pretty neat to see three stories wrap up at the same time and be ready for three new series on the block next week!

Code Geass: Despite Zero reappearing right after Lelouch disappears in a terrorist attack, the government people monitoring Lelouch still aren’t sure that it’s him just because Zero was making a speech while he was in class, like it’s not like Zero’s a masked figure that anyone can just put on the mask or anything. Still Lelouch takes Shirley on a date to cover up his actions while Gulford threatens to execute the rest of the Black Knights and Kallen yells at C.C. while naked. Lelouch corners Rolo but he has Za Warudo so it doesn’t work and suddenly Xingke wants the Black Knights dead.

Inuyasha: Naraku makes an incarnation out of the most evil thing about him… HIS FEELS. Dude’s seriously done with feeling shit about stuff so he’s just like “okay feels, time to die” and it takes the form of a horny masked man with the personality of FMA’s Greed who abducts Kagome as soon as she gets back from her quirky modern day adventure because despite not knowing who he is, he’s part of Naraku and being a simp for Kikyo is engraved in his soul.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Hiei outsmarts the booby trap for the smashy smashy ceiling by figuring out it and the off switch were bugged not like he couldn’t outrun a huge boulder anyway. Kurama fights Pica from One Piece and pulls a Killua and rips out the dude’s heart while he’s still alive while showing off his cool flower power whip. So that’s one beast down in half an episode, good pace so far.

Unlimited Blade Works: So two years have passed and now Rin and Shirou are going to Hogwarts together and have this weird almost-relationship where they live together and do everything together but act like it’s weird that they do that and aren’t affectionate at all so idfk what this relationship is supposed to be. Rin has a Foxy Boxing match and Shirou tells the Ministry of Magic can go fuck themselves because he’s the main character and doesn’t play by anybody else’s rules even though he has no clue what the fuck he’s doing. Rin does a pinky swear with him about how they’ll get a fairy tale ending but he still ends up as Archer in buttfuck nowhere but is slightly less edgy about it, making this basically an exact replica of the ending of Madoka Magica (I’m not sure if this is actually the homage PMMM was going for or not because the ending is the time traveler back where they started walking through a desert anyway so idk)

Panty and Stocking: Panty goes through some shit because Heaven slutshames her but also takes away virgin angels’ powers so you have to be the specified amount of slut I guess. She has a farce of a workup arc and gets to fucking Briefs’ deus ex cockina to get her powers back just in time for Stocking to show up and have them take on Demon Frieza’s Penis Ghost ™. Garterbelt dies twice but he gets better and they use the Bat Credit Card to order a giant heaven railgun but shoot it the wrong way so Monty Python God has to come down and stomp Corset herself, also Stocking’s a demon and kills Panty as setup for season 2 which it’s been like ten years now so don’t think that shit’s gonna happen, god this series was weird.

FMA Brotherhood: The Epilogue finally comes and we get a good grasp on what everyone does with the rest of their lives. The main couples get together and Ed and Al set out on new journies to gather as many perspectives as possible to help solve the world’s problems. Decent amount better than Ed and Al being stuck in Nazi Germany and leaving Winry behind for no reason but to suffer like the last anime. I like how Ed and Al basically become the reincarnations of the golden sages from the West and East that were Hoenheim and Father originally bringing alchemic knowledge to those regions while the brothers are ones trying to gain knowledge from everywhere, good parallels all around.

Durarara!!: Masaomi gets his spotlight episode which can basically be summed up as “I keep trying to get out but they just pull me back in” while we begin the Saika arc and Masaomi goes through his whole philosophy while trying to keep Mikado from joining the Dollars (boy is he in for a surprise) also there’s a knife-wielding maniac going around slicing people up but that’s just a B-plot in a city with motorcycle riding dullahans and vending machine throwing waiters, you know how it is.

Gonna be a shame to see FMA Brotherhood go, it’s the last anime from the start of the block left aside from Inuyasha, but the finale was sweet as always. Fate was weird and confusing but I’m willing to give it another shot with the next series. And Panty and Stocking... was weird, I feel like if I was watching it in 2010 I’d like it a lot more, I didn’t hate it but the constant irreverence made it a bit hard to get invested in the plot. Like I like that Panty and Stocking are complete bitches but there was absolutely no moment of realtalk where we don’t have them be the most horrible people on the planet for a bit, feel like it was just lacking that contrast that makes rooting for assholes more fun, it’s like eating all-marshmallow cereal, it sounds fun but it’s probably going to make you sick. Anyway get ready for the announcement of the new serieses for the block next week!

Fakemon Ideas

If anyone would like to draw any of these or use them in a fan game feel free to do so. All I ask is credit for the idea. By the way I came up with most of the ideas before Gen V was even an idea.
