Happy Birthday Montana/Shocker!!!

Montana's birthday cake is a small carrot cake shared between him, Dan, and Ox. They bought it for him knowing it's his favorite. They came around late on the 8th after closing time for Montana's bar and surprised him both with their presence and their little cake. It's been a long while now since they last were all together. Sharing a drink or two, enjoying the cake, and playing a few rounds.

Fun Fact! Yesterday (dec 8) and today (dec 9) marks the release dates of Montana and Shocker's debut comics! :D

Fancy Dan may be a black belt but he's playing in a totally different arena. Judo doesn't teach you how to throw a man with superhuman flexibility, the ability to stick to walls and the strength to juggle oil drums in one hand. Amazing Spiderman 10

save me cowboy trio,,

very simple versions of em, but i've been meaning to design them for a while now (random notes below)

ox is supposed to be big (and hairy) and buff, DUH, i just used a simple base i made so i can visualize em fast

i considered using cow patterns for him, but oxen tend to be one color or just two shades of brown or black so to stay committed to the animal i did two tones for his vest and pants

he's very quiet, kinda like tssm where he only speaks once or twice (when he does talk, i imagine he has a deep but quiet voice)

and fancy dan is meant to be short but toned

i decided on keeping his suit bc,, he's FANCY dan so yeah ofc he's gonna wear a suit ... also i noticed he's kinda dressed like freshman year green goblin but that's ok

he most definitely would fix his outfit if it got ruffled in a fight (or just rip off his jacket before a fight)

finally montana's outfit is literally a picture i saw when i searched tasseled cowboy shirts bc i KNEW i wanted him to have tassels

he doesn't become shocker in my au, since i don't wanna do too many villains (i still have a lot of baddies tho, don't worry) ... but i do give the enforcers a good amount of cameos bc these silly guys are growing on me

he also has big spiky spurs on his boots that i couldn't really draw at the moment (they do make the silly noise when he walks)

they all have southern accents, i'd imagine montana's is the thickest

My peak TV Journey: *Girls5Eva*

I am generally pretty strict with myself about trying to finish tv series  before starting new ones, but I made an exception for Girls5Eva. I had been meaning to try since it debuted. It was exactly as delightful as I hoped it would be. I immediately loved all four leads in the show. It is sort of n the trend of revisiting female celebrities treatment in the early 2000s. But the show’s story is also about now. It’s about the revisiting of the 2000s that we’re doing now, and it is also about how the streaming boom is one of many things that destroyed the mainstream as it existed then, creating new niches and making it harder to gain momentum. Given that, it is appropriate that it was created for Peacock, cancelled after two seasons, then renewed by Netflix before the strikes delayed it indefinitely. Will there be more? I have no idea, but, I’m glad that the two seasons of it do exist.

Watching this reigniting my enthusiasm for Sara Bareilles, which had waned after being disappointed by her 2013 album, The Blessed Unrest. (I have since re-listened, it’s too long but mostly fine. Also between that album and watching this show I saw her on Broadway as The Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods and she was great.) She’s hilarious here, as Dawn, the aspiring song writer who has been doing odd jobs in family businesses since the group’s original end. The groups aspiring song writer, some of he best moments come with singing songs that will never work. Dawn is also the only happily married member of the group and the relationship with her husband and son is delightful. Her husband, Scott, played by Daniel Breaker, is a middle school guidance counsellor. Far out enough from show business to be grounding, but also crazy in his own way. The second season ends with Dawn realizing that she’s pregnant with her second child and trying to figure out how to balance that and her firstborn with the band’s attempt at touring. There are jokes about her being a female Ted Lasso, leaving her child at home while she’s away for her career. (The final season of Ted Lasso proved to be very conscious of this aspect of the set up.) The end with an attempt at a mini tour was a good way next steps for her. 

Busy Phillips played Summer, the member of the band who was also a member of Christian purity cult who starts the series with a learned passivity, and a lot of enthusiasm. This feels like semi-subverting her character type in other shows from Freaks and Geeks to Cougar Town where she is the more sexually experienced than significant characters she’s paired up with and generally pretty aggressive, where she's the opposite here. But these type’s have to exist together. The types also are bonded through loud taste in fashion and very limited experience, making them ignorant of a lot of common knowledge, but experts on some esoterica. At the start of the series she is unhappily married to Kev, who is the same cult and as she, and is a deeply closeted homosexual. He’s played by Andrew Rannells in a way that you can understand why their marriage only worked as long as it did because they lived apart most of the time. It’s sad and funny. Summer does get to grow. Her excitement about learning how to make a salad was adorable. Her pain on realizing that her parents didn’t live up to the celibacy standards they had for her was poignant and funny. I still smile thinking of the time she explains that since separating from Kev she’s joined “Christian Kringle” a dating app for Christians who love Santa. 

I feel new to Paula Pell as a performer. Looking at her IMDB page I can see that she has had small roles in things I have seen, but I don’t really remember her. She plays Gloria, the only member of the group who has successfully pursued an alternate career since the band’s end. There are some good jokes about her continuing to work as a dentist while the group tries the relaunch.  Pell is the oldest of the actors and in the flashbacks and archive footage her character is played by Erika Henningsen. Henningsen’s role is mostly to show how repressed Gloria was then, as an in the closet lesbian.  She doesn’t really stand on her own, which does work towards Gloria’s present day neurosis. In the time between Girls5Eva’s first go round and the present Gloria’s been married and divorced to a woman named Caroline. Caroline is both the only woman she has been with and not good for her. (She’s also played by Paula Pell’s real life wife Janine Brito.) This puts Gloria in more or less the same boat as Summer and they have a great rapport. I also want to say that at the beginning of the second season Gloria has a fantasy musical number about being on Percocet while delaying knee surgery.  It was hilarious and I can’t find it online.

The supposed break-out star from the band Girls5Eva is Wickie, played by Renée Elise Goldsberry. Between the original run and the relaunch she creates the impression that she has an international star powered brand business. She doesn’t. But the show makes clear she’s the one who’s been pursuing a career in music the longest, including a stint on Star Search, and is the most enthusiastic about fame. She left the band first to pursue attempt at a solo career, which is best dramatized by a scene from an episode of Cribs. Despite not being in any high profile projects for decades, she in intensely aware of the possibility of fan interest, including with foot fetishists. Early on she moves in with Dawn and her family. She brings with her a see through piano, the last remaining thing from her failed shot at the A-List. She is a wonderfully awful houseguest, barely learning Dawn’s husband and son’s names. But she’s hilarious in her oblivious behavior and her passion for fame and music has an interesting frisson that is great for comedy. The diva faking it after her failed career wouldn’t be funny without these qualities. 

The fifth member of Girls5Eva is Ashley played by Ashley Park. At one point Wiki says Ashley was the only other member of the band she respected as a singer. Between iterations of the band she mysteriously died while taking part in a magic act involving an infinity pool. Or did she? At the end of the first season Gloria announces that she thinks Ashley faked her death. This leads her to suspecting a mysterious singer who always wears a bee keeping mask might be Ashley. While that turned out to be wrong, I hope it turns out Ashley’s not dead. 

The first season included some songs Girls5eva and their fictional contemporaries. They are wonderfully awful. Filled with poorly aged reference and regrettable world philosophies. The fact that we only hear a couple of bars from them is even funnier. But as Dawn and her bandmates take over the song writing, the songs get better. They still include some really goofy lyrics, but they work. It makes sense that they find an audience amongst their contemporaries.

Some fun info I've been cooking up about my Enforcers:

Montana "Shocker" Schultz: American through and through, might have some native in him somewhere in his genealogy, but it's not a major presence in his appearance nor life. He's highly skilled with a lasso, sharpshooter, can use a whip. He prefers to utilize a pair of special gauntlets that he crafted himself, a preferred weapon of choice. He's not the strongest, not fastest, but he's definitely the most strategic. Sticking back and keeping watch before making his moves. He's the brains of the whole operation, but is more than welcome to allow the other two to make the occasional command. Sees the other two as equals. VERY good friends with them both, even after they disbanded when it came out about their boss not being who she said she was.

Daniel "Fancy Dan" Brito: Hispanic, lineage spans a mix of mostly spain and a little of mexico. short king with speed. The first to attack in a fight, . Tied with Montana on their joining of The Enforcers. Prides himself on his speed in a fight. From a young age and a large family, Dan's had a lot of practice and training in fighting. Knowing how to fend for himself. Warmed up pretty quick to Electra/Maxine when Montana introduced them to her when they dropped back in New York to visit.

Raymond "Ox" Bloch: Canadian roots. big burly brick house of a man. He's the foundation of the trio. The oldest member of the group. Probably the last one you want to deal with in a fight. Powerhouse of muscle, can tank some decent hits and dish out his own tenfold. A man of few words, but he isn't all brawn and no brain like most may think of him. He's a simple man.. and a big heart for his friends. Usually he doesn't go all out and use all he's got, but if you hurt his friends? He'll start getting real serious and stop holding back.

(it wouldn't be a fair fight, but I would love to see Ox go up against Clark Kent in some farmhand competition or something. I think Ox would put up a great fight tbh kinda like the barn raising scene from the movie "7 brides for 7 brothers" but it's Ox vs Clark. I'd LOVE to see that.)

[nitpickrider]

Well Pete's involved one way or another now, and the Enforcers won't know what hit them. Amazing Spiderman 10

pitiful

[heckcareoxytwit]

Since Misty Knight and Colleen Wing were arrested, poor Miles Morales was left to deal with the Cape Killers alone. And things get more complicated when Prowler and the Enforcers interrupt them as they start fighting Miles and the Cape Killers. Then, luck comes by when Starling, Kamala Khan and Shift come in to help Miles.
