[plankaren]

wellz i wanted to make this primarily a plankaren shipping blog but i'll talk about other sbsp stuffs too :)

this post here is a thought stream so im just rambling to myself. nothing too fancy. i need to write out my excitement!!

i just finished season 1 and since i have the dvd, there are a lot of bonus features. Theyre all so cute <3 unfortunately, although it was brand new, the case cracked on its own and the first disc had some sort of smudge i couldnt get off, and so a lot of data wouldnt load. i had to watch the latter episodes another way. and theres an audio commentary for plankton! on the disc which made me sad. I'll check that out soon through my other method. but i did get to watch the commentary for karate choppers.... man the cast are dirty xD I'm surprised clancy brown just went ahead and swore in mr. krabs voice on an official dvd. It delights me, but if i was my child self i would have been like "WHAT!!!!!!!! SPONGEBOB IS FOR KIDS!!!!!!!!!" bahahaha.

mmm well on the other end of the sponge history, i have been watching newer episodes with my friend, usually plankton and karen themed ones.

karen for spot is very cute episode. It aired exactly a month ago today! I have a soft spot (lol) for dog episodes because well, i have a hyperactive doggy who i love very much x) to me its very cute that plankton has a dog. and its interesting to see karen struggle with something! i realize now my icon is from this episode... i just download it from somewhere with no context xD

we also watched plankton gets the boot... to me this is a waaaaay better version of karen 2.0. i hate that episode. even since i was a child, it felt sexist to me in a way i couldnt articulate at the time. plankton is more of a plot device than a character there. actually just trying to explain this kinda ticks me off so imma leave it at that lol. The only part of karen 2.0 i did like was when spongebob and mr krabs took karen in, that was sweet. (also karen crying is cute... that feels evil to say but it is true. v.v) ANYWAYS PLANKTON GETS THE BOOT!!! Plankton is immediately punished for being an asshole! Thats already a good sign haha! And spunch helps him to better himself for karen. That part was sweet. I said this to my friend but i think since networks are more lax now they're letting the characters be gayer than before xD patrick kissing spongebob on the cheek is cute. I see it as friendship but waaaaaaa they love each other!!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! the part where plankton is trying to make karen jealous is where i saw the contrast from karen 2.0. she does not care. its funny!!! i can say the only part i dislike is fatphobic plankton. Dx and well this might be more a personal thing, but sometimes when plankton and karen argue it feels too realistic to be funny? at the end of karen for spot it felt fine because Dog, but not relly here.

also patnocchio... I dont have much to say on this but i love the duo of patrick and plankton !!! and i love fairy karen... the end of the episode where plankton just yells KAREN made me hoot and holler a lil. heeheehoo. i am very entertained :)

also hi friend i mentioned in this post!!!! i love you!!!!!!!!!!

[yamikawas]

Hajime Hinata thought, on that fall day, that some things never really changed.

All the while knowing, as he remembered his classmates, who were not unlike broken live wires dangling helplessly over open water, that everything was anything but the same. And yet… Every time he’d close his eyes, he could just faintly see the silhouetted figures of his classmates, his classmates, every motion and every day blending together like time never existed for them; acting as if they were nothing but average teenagers. Hell, by now Hinata knew that they weren’t even teenagers anymore. He’d always see the fall colours behind their silhouettes, dead leaves dancing around their figures though they looked like nothing more than a backdrop in a school play. Or maybe that was wishful thinking on his end. After all, it was their choice, their fault, for losing sight of themselves and giving into despair, wasn’t it? That’s what he’d always tell himself to soften the blow of reality. ‘Close off your heart.’ ‘Don’t think about the past.’ ‘Just keep moving forward.’ That’s all he was ever good for anyways. Or at least now he knows that he is.

A cool hand gently taps his shoulder twice. Komaeda, he figured from the touch alone. No one else had hands as cold as his. “Hinata-san, I don’t mean to be rude by that gesture, but I really need you to pay attention for just a moment.” Sonia’s face was leaned in a mere few inches from Hinata’s face when he turned around and, undoubtedly, scaring the life out of the boy. It was about then that it clicked in his mind that, yes, it was a colder season now— the winter attire hadn’t come in their newest shipment, so everyone had icicles for hands, and not just the guy who seemed to occupy his headspace more than he liked. Craning his neck back slightly (though not enough to be insulting), he could only try his best to compose his voice. “Sorry, yeah,” He cleared his throat and plastered a polite smile, “What— what’s the matter, then?” Sonia looked away and pressed her lips shut, hesitating on something, before she finally looked back at Hinata with concern laced in her eyes. “I think… he might in the warehouse again.” Ah. A cold sinking feeling dropped like lead in Hinata’s stomach. Hinata knew exactly who “he” was; he didn’t need to ask again, he didn’t even need to ask what the situation was, he simply went as fast his legs could carry him towards the fifth island, only nodding to Sonia before he pushed off the concrete. When it came to the general recovery of the islands, they were doing rather well. The trees were healing from rot and decay, and new branches were sprouting out from the body. Somewhere in the heart Hinata tried to close up, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope. He found it strange that he would even pay attention to something like that, but he’d be lying if he said his outlook on life as a whole didn’t change after everything that happened. Whereas in contrast to his highschool days, he wouldn’t give a damn whether one man or twenty got killed in a shooting on the news; nowadays he finds himself tiptoeing with caution even with the smallest of ant hills. It wasn’t something he talked about, there was no need to open up about something as trivial or stupid as that. Yet, no matter what he convinced himself of, being aware of the life around him, his friends, flora, fauna, whatever else is there in between… that was truly something he couldn’t deny caring about. So what was it like for everyone else, with autumn’s undeniable melancholy, to see everything dying and fading away to dust and dirt in the cold?

Or was he the only one feeling this childish? It was only a few moments after stepping off the bridge that he noticed a familiar green hoodie haphazardly pulled over a mop of white hair, feeling the icy weight in his stomach evaporating into thin air. But it wasn’t the warehouse, like he expected it to be, but rather—

“Ah, Hinata-kun!” A distant but cheery voice called out to him, and this time, it wasn’t a sickeningly sweet façade; it wasn’t even the condescending tone dripping with the venom he’d once heard in the past. Hinata padded towards the ruined administration building, faintly remembering Jabberwock Park being exactly where Komaeda now stood admiring the maple trees. Hinata could only try to smile back despite himself.

“It’s strange, isn’t it?” Komaeda spoke barely above a whisper as Hinata came to a stop beside him, both of them never breaking eye contact with the scene surrounding the them. “It feels like time has gone by so much slower, even though this is already our second autumn together.” Somehow it felt like there was a reason why Komaeda wouldn’t look back at him.

“Sonia told me that you would be at the warehouse.”

“Oh… was there an obligation to be at the warehouse?” He finally broke his gaze to look back with stormy eyes, “Or are you still wary of me?”

“I’m not—!” Hinata bit his tongue down. He didn’t want to say anything unnecessary; not now, not when he felt like… this. There was no reason to fight. “What are you doing here anyway? It’s far too cold out here.” “It’s fine, I think I’ve gotten used to the cold bit by bit.” Komaeda replied, “I just like spending time like this.” Hinata sighed, running a hand through his messy hair, “It’s not fine if you get a fever tomorrow. Tsumiki has medicine stored in the kitchen cabinet, but it’s not worth risking it.” The other boy did nothing but nonchalantly shrug, “I’d hate to be a burden on anyone, but you’re saying that as if I’m as reckless as you are.” He spoke with a slight grin that was enough to adorn his face. Or maybe it was just that seeing Komaeda happy in any sense was enough for him. A cool breeze swept through the island, silencing the two, while making a shiver run up Hinata’s spine and goosebumps line his arms; he could tell Komaeda was cold too, but somehow, more than anything, he wanted to be out here at this very moment with the one person who might understand him.

“Hinata-kun…” The other was the first to break the silence, “What would you say the feeling of setsunai is?”

An abrupt question, one that Hinata had no clue how to answer as they both fell into thoughtful silence; yet, it was exactly what he needed to hear. Komaeda hesitated, opening and closing his mouth before he finally took a deep breath and spoke, “If you don’t mind me answering my own question… I think, it feels like autumn itself.” Gently holding onto the leaves that were burnt orange and red, Hinata noted, was how he grounded himself as he talked – even if his already pale fingers grew deathly pale in the freezing wind. There was something that resonated in Komaeda’s words. Setsunai, at least… was a rather peculiar feeling. Something akin to nostalgia, pain, like a bittersweet note plucked in one’s heart. Watching time flow like a never-ending sandglass was all Hinata could do while the days passed, seeing the sun dipping into the horizon night after night, as the world revolved around the sun like it was a promise; though some things never changed. He never changed. He could never change, but only could watch as the world around him continued to evolve. Or rather, the world around them continued to evolve. Winter lead to spring, spring lead to summer, and summer died and bled into autumn. Just like the orbiting earth, it was a promise to nature itself, that it would always come around. But it would always beg the question…

“Do you miss it? Our youth… being free from this pressure?”

Feeling his chest tighten up, Hinata gazed at Komaeda, hoping, pleading for him to understand. However ironic, considering this was the boy he distrusted the most in the past, but deep down he knew where his real feelings lay. He didn’t know why he was so desperate, but he wanted to know, just for once, if his heart resonated the same tone. Komaeda turned towards Hinata, shoving his hands in his pocket at long last. “I can’t say that I miss it, because we never lead the same lives.” Hinata held his breath and braced himself, he could never tell when the coin was flipped when it came to Komaeda; whether it was holding his hand without question or bashing him for his lack of talent, he was worryingly unpredictable. Though he continued, “I never once felt that I’d be deserving of being free but… in another life, I would long to be as ordinary as I could. I would long to be like you.” His words caught Hinata off guard, making him feel as if his lungs were being squeezed though he tried his damndest to shrug it off, “Ordinary isn’t as great as you make it out to be. Sometimes, it feels like you’re stuck. Like nothing is moving except the people around you, and sometimes…” He trailed off, hesitant. Komaeda’s fingertips gently touched his wrist, eliciting something like a static shock in Hinata’s chest, while the other only beamed at him, “I’m listening, but only if you want me to.” Hinata pushed back the urge to roll his eyes at that response and instead took a deep breath. “Sometimes it feels like, now those feelings I carried with me back then are affecting my friends. All of you. When I look at everyone, it feels like something’s missing. Something’s missing from our lives and I can’t even pretend that I don’t know what it is.” Hinata felt like the lead was back in his stomach, “Sometimes I just wish we could all be stupid, innocent teenagers, unafraid of losing time. I wish… I wish I didn’t have to feel afraid of change anymore.” ‘Sometimes, I feel like I’m nothing but cursed.’

‘I don’t want to lose anyone else.’

‘I’m afraid of caring too much again.’ A low hum came from Komaeda’s chest, as he lifted a finger to the bridge of his nose, when he suddenly made a distressed expression, “Ah…” He mumbled, “I forgot my glasses in the warehouse” Sighing, he shoved his hands back into his coat pockets with a little more force than needed. Whiplash aside, Hinata on the other hand, did nothing but gawk with wide eyes at the other, “I’m sorry, since when did you wear glasses? And why are they in the warehouse?” “Well… long story short,— because I would rather die than bore you with my antics— I realized my vision was going bad because I was reading at night, or maybe it was just bad luck— anyway, I didn’t want to bother anyone, so I’ve been trying to craft a pair of glasses with the materials in the warehouse.” Komaeda smiled warmly at Hinata, “I’ve been keeping people out so they wouldn’t see how atrocious my handiwork was!” Hinata scoffed, turning his head away so he wouldn’t think about the warmth he felt from Komaeda despite the biting cold. Feeling his lips go dry from the wind, he touched the tip of his tongue on his lips before speaking, “…So, all those times in the warehouse then, they weren’t—?” Komaeda shook his head, knowing what would come next. “It wasn’t that I was feeling suicidal…” He paused, braving a glance in Hinata’s direction only to find that he held his solemn gaze to the dying trees once more, “In fact, I owe that peace of mind to you… still, those lingering feelings of throwing my life away still hold me down, so, I take solace in this withering season. It reminds me that, despite everything… I’m still alive.” Hinata holds his breath, listening to Komaeda as he smiles to himself, just barely brushing Hinata’s arm with his own, “I don’t know what comes after this, or if I’ll even want to be around for that but… I’ll take that I have in this moment. This peace is what I long for even if it’s temporary. This is what I want to call hope.”

Silence wrapped the two of them like a blanket, where not even the wind could over power the white noise; but, like always, this kind of silence with Komaeda was never an uncomfortable one. Even if his very existence was unpredictable, even when they were trying to numb their feelings for the other, there was always a sense of mutual understanding amidst the silences.  

“So, don’t you think we both understand what setsunai is in our own ways?” Komaeda smiled, a genuine one that even in the context of melancholy and hope overlapping each other like ocean waves, felt like a breath of fresh air. Both the sadness and joy intertwined of time flowing created this feeling— a chord of emotions twisting their strings into one, but it was one strong enough to create a bond between those he cared for and loved and that maybe, just maybe, that was alright for now.

“I don’t know. It’s still so strange… I always thought I’d be the one supporting the others in their time of need. But now that I myself feel lost in my own ways, it’s you who’s helping me.” And now Hinata was sure of it; the brushing of each others’ arms wasn’t accidental, when Komaeda leaned into him just a little more. “Hinata-kun, more than anything, I hope we both can remember that there is both good and bad in time passing, and that if you ever feel like you can’t keep up then… I hope I can be there for you too.” The swelling feeling in his chest was unbearable at those words. “Yeah, well—” “I’m glad I met you, Hinata-kun. I’m glad I’m still here with you.” He couldn’t pry away Hinata couldn’t stop staring into Komaeda’s eyes. “I-I’m so sorry interrupted, you aren’t mad, are you?” Komaeda panicked slightly, taking the situation otherwise.

But now Komaeda could be sure of it too; that when Hinata grabbed the edges of his hood and pulled him closer, that the way their chapped lips clumsily brushed together, that they felt the exact same way. About their common ground when it came to change, and even their feelings. Even as the leaves continued falling to the ground below them.

Parental Jitters

At the hospital...

Yang: GRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

???:  WAAAAAAAAA!!!  WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Doctor: Mr. Arc, Mrs. Xiao Long.  Congratulations, it’s a girl.

Jaune: A girl?!  It’s a girl!!  Yang, it’s a girl!!

Yang nods tiredly.  The nurse comes over with the baby swaddled in a blanket.  She hands it to Yang who looks hesitant.  Yang then tucks her hands under her armpits, surprising Jaune, the nurse and the doctor.

Nurse: Mrs. Xiao Long, don’t you want to see your daughter?

Yang: I...I’m good; I can see her from here.

Jaune (realizing what’s going on): Give me a second; I’ve got this.  (kneels next to Yang) Sunshine, what’s wrong?

Yang: N-Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine.

Jaune: Yang...

Yang: *sigh* Look, I get that I should be loving and caring about our daughter.  But now that she’s here, I don’t know if I’m ready.  I mean, I can’t cook, I can’t get laundry done right, that’s all you.  And what if I did something wrong?  What if I accidentally dropped her and hurt her?  What if I screw up her lunch?  What if-

Jaune (placing a hand on her cheek): Shhhhhhhhh, it’s okay.  Look, I get that Raven wasn’t the greatest mother in the world.  And I know that makes you nervous that you may not be a great mother.  But do you know who was there for you to teach you how to love like a mother?  Summer; it’s because of her that I know you’ll be a great mother for our daughter.

Yang still looks nervous about the whole situation.

Jaune: How about this?  Just hold her for a few minutes, she deserves to be held by her mother.  If you still feel uncomfortable, I can take over for you.

Yang: ......Okay.

The nurse hands Yang the baby.  Yang looks down at her daughter in her arms and all doubts and fears wash away and she smiles lovingly and sweetly.

Jaune (to the doctor and nurse): I think we’re good here.

The doctor and nurse nod and leave, giving the new parents some alone time with their daughter.  

Yang: *sigh* She ‘s so beautiful.’

Jaune:  She sure is.

Jaune and Yang kiss before their directing their attention back to their baby.  Suddenly, the doors fly open to reveal their friends and family.

Ruby: Where is it?  Where’s the baby?

Yang tilts her arm a bit so that everyone can see the baby.  Immediately, the rest of Team RWBY and Nora rush over and start coddling the baby.  Meanwhile, Ren, Tai, Jaune’s parents and a few others congratulate him about becoming a father.

Ruby: So what’s her name?

Yang is about to answer when Jaune whispers into her ear.  She smiles and nods in agreement.

Jaune: Everyone...meet Summer.

Dragon Ball Z 202

Last episode, Gohan created a superhero persona to disguise himself while he fights crime.   By acting as the Great Saiyaman, no one at school will find out that it’s really Gohan.

This episode, he blows the whole thing on the second day, because some girl is on the roof when he switches out of his costume.   Hijinks, as they say, shall ensue.

Gohan isn’t sure what to do here, so he just sort of walks past the girl and worries about it.

He gets so wrapped up in the problem that he doesn’t pay attention in class, so the teacher makes him stand outside.  

Meanwhile, the girl is in the same class, and she’s doodling Gohan in her notebook.    This looks pretty good, but I always wonder if when cartoon characters sketch someone in the house style, is it supposed to be photorealistic, or cartoony? 

Anyway, the girl, Angela, is so consumed with thoughts about Gohan that she doesn’t pay attention to class either, and she breaks down in tears when she gets in trouble.

But she uses this as an excuse to go stand outside, where Gohan is.   The teacher didn’t actually tell her to do this, but what’s he gonna do?   Punish her for pre-emptively punishing herself?  

So, out in the hall, Angela asks Gohan if he has a girlfriend, and when he doesn’t answer right away, she gets all upset.   Then she threatens to tell everyone his secret unless he takes her on a date, so Gohan agrees.     Angela tells him to meet her in town tomorrow on Sunday.   Wait, so they’re in school on a Saturday?    That’s bullshit.  Also, why does Gohan have to hold pails of water but Angela doesn’t?  

Gohan tries to deal with this properly, so first thing’s first, he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do on a date.    So he asks his mom, who probably isn’t the best person to go to for advice on this, but who else can he ask?   Piccolo?  Krillin?  Yamcha?   These guys all have no business giving out advice.

Chi-Chi fondly recalls the time she and Goku hung out alone while Emperor Pilaf and Colonel Silver fought over a Dragon Ball.   I want to say this was Dragon Ball Episode 31?   This isn’t a flashback to that episode, though, since this is all-new footage, so I sort of wonder if Chi-Chi might not be embellishing things somewhat.    In any case, she tells Goku they’re on a date, and when Goku doesn’t know what that is, she tells him that it’s the most fun thing a boy and girl can do together, so he naturally assumes she wants to spar with him.  

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

So yeah, none of that helped Gohan at all, so he just asks Angela not to reveal his secret, and she tells him to take her to see a movie.  

Here’s a nice shot of the Satan City Theater.   I guesss this movie is about a volcano?   Anyway, Gohan falls asleep in the middle of it, and Angela gets upset and thinks he doesn’t want to spend time with her.   Well, duh.    You’re blackmailing him, remember?

Gohan follows her outside and tries to patch things up, and she immediately cheers up and tells him to take her to a cafe.  

There, she instructs him to ask her how many sugars she wants in her coffee, so he can add them for her.   

So, I get the sense that Angela really wants to have a paint-by-numbers romance, hitting specific moments that she’s seen in books and TV shows.    But she needs a boy to actually execute all of these spots, so she strongarmed Gohan into doing all of these things, but it’s never going to feel quite like it did when it happened on TV, because it’s not spontaneous.   Right now, she’s only enjoying this because she’s experiencing it firsthand, but it’s a hollow fantasy.

I say this because I’ve seen men over the years pining for similar fantasies.    Well, maybe not similar, but the same formulaic approach.   Like, “I gotta get me a girl who will dress up in a red wig and a yellow dress and a white vest and ask me to tell her how many sugars she wants in her coffee, so we can re-enact this episode of DBZ.    Yeah, that’s hot.”  Or whatever your thing is.    The reality is that even if you found someone to humor such a specific request, it would never quite hold up in real life.    You can’t manufacture this stuff.    

Maybe that was the point of Chi-Chi’s story earlier.  It was romantic for her because it actually happened, and it wasn’t just Goku doing whatever she wanted him to do.   They were both being themselves, and they hit it off, and that’s why she thinks so fondly about that time he punched a tree.   Krillin’s first date with 18 was probably nothing at all like he had in mind, but he probably loved it because it ended up cementing his relationship with the love of his life.   And I’m sure he would have loved to take 18 to a movie and a cafe, but not as an end unto themselves.    You can scoop your own sugar, and if you wait your whole life for someone else to do it for you, you might miss out on something better.    I’m not sure where I’m going with this analogy.    I take my coffee black, so maybe I should move on.   

Anyway, Angela wants thirteen sugars in her coffee because of course she does.

Over coffee, Gohan tries to get some sort of reassurance that she won’t tell anyone his secret, but that’s the furthest thing from her mind.   She mentions that “it” is cute, but that’s about all she has to say about it.  

Then there’s a fire at Satan Tower.    Well, I think this was supposed to be Satan Tower, because that’s where they were going to go next, but maye they saw this building on fire while they were on their way.   

So, little bit of trivia here, this episode didn’t air on Cartoon Network because it was originally scheduled for September 19, 2001, eight days after the 9/11 attacks.   That sort of flew under my radar at the time, because I had already seen this episode on VHS a couple of months earlier, but when I heard about it I wasn’t sure what to make of it.   Were they just not going to show any TV program that featured a tall building on fire?   I think for a little while, that’s what the networks did.   At the time, no one really knew what was appropriate and what wasn’t.    I have to admit, seeing this screencap does remind me a lot of the footage of the towers burning.   But at the time, that was a very distinctive image, and no cartoon of an unrelated incident could compare. 

Anyway, the episode finally aired on Toonami about eight weeks later, but this is a filler ep, so it’s not like anyone really needed this one to keep up with the story.

So when Gohan and Angela find this, they hear that there’s people trapped on the roof, and Gohan realizes that he needs to change into Saiyaman and save them.

But Videl’s already on the scene.    Her aircraft can’t land because of the thermal updrafts, so she jumps down to the roof herself and tries to open a valve on a water tank, figuring that flooding the roof will at least buy time for a rescue.    There’s a whole sequence where she consults a team of computer guys about it, and this dude checks the building’s schematics and runs a simultation to see what good the water will do.    But Videl’s not strong enough to open the valve, and her fingerless gloves don’t help matters.    They’re stylish, but not much protection against the hot metal. 

But then Gohan rushes in, despite Angela’s protestations, and Saiyaman shows up to save Videl when the water tower falls over.    He punches a hole in it, which I guess does more than Videl had counted on?    Anyway, he saves all the people on the roof, including Videl.

Afterward, Videl spots Gohan in the vicinity, and she wonders if that might mean something.   Remember, she still harbored suspicions that Gohan is the Golden Warrior, and this is the second time she’s seen him at the scene of a crisis.   

Then Angela finds them and assumes that Videl is Gohan’s girlfriend.   Uh-ohhhhh!

Funny thing is, despite knowing Gohan’s secret, she seems to have no idea why he ran into a burning building a minute ago.   She thinks he was just trying to save Videl, or maybe she thinks they like to make out in burning buildings?  I dunno.   

Heartbroken, Angela tries to play her best card, and tells Videl Gohan’s secret.   Gohan’s horrified, but he can’t really do anything, so he just starts screaming, as if he can drown out the truth.   Then again, screaming usually works pretty well on this show, so I can’t fault him for falling back on the basics. 

But between breaths, Angela gets the secret out: Gohan wears teddy-bear underwear.   Wait, what?

In perhaps the stupidest flashback ever, we see Angela wandering around after gym class, only to find Gohan pulling up his pants.    I guess he was changing out of his gym clothes?   Why would you do that with the door open?   

So that’s the secret Angela’s been holding over Gohan’s head this whole time.    So what about on the roof?   Didn’t she notice Gohan wearing the Great Saiyaman costume there?   No, she didn’t, because she didn’t have her contact lenses in at the time.    Womp-womp-waaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Videl is not amused.    I’m pretty sure in the dub, Angela wonders what Gohan is talking about, so she asks him if he had his pants down on the roof too, and Videl tells him to keep his pants on, or else.

Of course, Gohan could care less about how many girls see his sexy undies, so he just laughs the whole thing off and claims that his mother bought him the wrong kind by mistake.    Really?   That’s the best you can do?    She bought the wrong kind, and you just keep them in your rotation anyway?    My mom bought me this shitty tank-top looking thing when I was in seventh grade and I absolutely despised it, but she wouldn’t listen to me and bought it anyway, so I knew she’d probably try to make me wear it and I wanted no part of that, so I stuffed it in a box in my closet where she wouldn’t be able to find it.    Out of sight, out of mind, right?   Well it worked.    I still don’t know where that fucker went.    I probably threw it in the trash one day just to be safe.    That shirt sucked.   Not just because it looked stupid, but because my mom wasted money on it rather than just listen to me, the only person who was ever going to wear the thing.   

Sorry, I went off on a tangent there.  That’s what this liveblogs are all about, though.    If you just wanted a dry recap of the action, you’d watch these yourself, or look it up on the wiki.   Point is, Gohan wouldn’t wear teddy bear underwear unless he wanted to.     He killed Perfect Cell.    He wears a vest.   He does what he wants.

So Gohan’s secret is safe, but he still feels terrible about hurting Angela’s feelings, so the next day he goes to apologize to her, only to find that she’s moved on to some other boy, and she’s got a date with him next Sunday.   Badda-bump da-da-bump!

Sailor Sailor

A Sailor Moon parody I wrote for fun. Warning it’s pretty long and badly formatted because I wrote this on some website that has weird formatting and yeah. It also includes some Chinese in pinyin.

I walked out of the school, breathing in the windy air that lay all around us now, it was so nice to finally be out of school! Better yet, it was Friday, so now I can relax at home! My friends were chattering about stuff I didn't really care about before Yuèliàng mentioned something about a scalpel. "I was able to sneak this scalpel past my kēxué lǎoshī!" Yuèliàng exclaimed pulling the sharp blade out of her skirt pocket, this was probably the fifth time she had stolen from one of her lǎoshī's and got away with it. But at this point I don't think they cared.

"Yuèliàng! That was a very dangerous thing of you to do, you know?" Tiffany; a transfer student from America; exclaimed, trying to snatch the sharp blade from her precious friends hand. Yuèliàng just moved the scalpel away from Tiffany, snickering at Tiff's failed attempts of retrieveing this sharp and shiny object. We continued walking until we got to out split; Tiffany and Yuèliàng lived on the same street while I lived on the opposite street. I waved to my friends while saying goodbye and walking down the road, not paying any attention due to a text I had recieved. It read something about..... Well I couldn't understand it, and before I could translate it to Chinese I tripped and fell down a long and steep hill.

"W-WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I screamed out as I fumbled down the hill, hitting my body on every rock, stick and crevice that layed on the steep hill. It was a short ride as I abruptly came to a stop, smashing into a long and thick tree. I think I may have cracked a rib.I stood up gripping my waist, groaning out in pain; that's definitely gonna leave a mark. While looking around my surrounding (I didn't see much other than trees, bushes and the dirt I was standing) I saw something that sticked out from the nature environment that I was in. A very bright pink heart charm... How feminine, I wonder who owns this, whoever it was they were probably a massive girly girl. I picked up the charm which unbeknownst to me, was a big mistake. I found myself being engulfed in a bright pink light of beam, with many sparkles accompanying it. I think i'm gonna go blind if I continue looking at this with my eyes opened, so I shut them as I felt the clothes on me transform into well... A completely different outfit.

I soon fell onto the ground as I snapped open my eyes, thanks for giving me a safe landing charm. As I looked down towards my body, I was now wearing a completely pink and girly outfit, wow this is... Almost disgusting from how pink this is. I heard a twig snap, looking up I saw no one. I looked around, still nobody... But I feel as though there is someone around, somewhere, just anywhere. Maybe they can help me get out of this stupid forest!

"Hey!! I heard you!" I yelled out looking around me, still no response. Fine, if they wanna play hard to get then we'll play that game. "I said hey! I know you can hear me, come out of hiding!" I yelled out walking towards where I heard the twig snap, still nobody. What... Did they just come to look at me and then leave? How inconsiderate! Stupid people leaving strangers they don't know to die alone, I mean, what have they got to loose to not be able to help me, stupid world, stupid economy! I kicked a tree, making it shake but also hitting my foot way harder than I was supposed to."OW FU-" I was shortly cut off by finding a man standing opposite of me. Something about him felt strange and... Unnerving. He smiled before opening his mouth to say something that I didn't want him to say. "Sailor Sailor, you've really changed since last time I saw you, you got younger! That's good to see, also you dyed your hair black, how lovely. Anyways, I still want those Warrior crystals, for I need them to power my empire! Hahahaha-" He started to ramble and then laugh, but I cut him off. "Listen dude you have the wrong person, my name is Ushaung and I just got lost in the forest, i'm not this "Sailor Sailor" person you're talking about, in fact. This Sailor Sailor person probably doesn't exist you lunatic, you must be some teen who forgot to take their meds! Empire, Warrior crystals?? What are you on!" I yelled before storming off in the opposite direction of him, before bumping, or well slamming into somebody else. I fell backwards before looking up towards the bit- uh person who could've been in my way. I didn't know who she (or that delusional man) was, I just dusted myself up before trying to pass, ahem, emphasis on the try. She seemed to block my path and actually punched me, can you believe it? The A U D A C I T Y-

"Give us what we want Sailor Sailor and we''ll leave you be!" The girl who resembled the man said, casting out a gloved hand. It was icicle like; pointy, sharp and a nice light shade of blue. I stared at her as if she was insane, because well... She was!! "I told you! I don't have any 'Warrior crystals' you lunatics! I just want to go home!" I yelled at her before shoving her to the side rudely, I just want to go home and eat dinner, is that too much to ask now-a-days? I didn't get far before the man who wore completely iced out clothing (and not iced as in cool and fresh, ice as in literal ice looking clothes) blocked my way. Wait... How did he get in front, wasn't he just-? "Sailor Sailor~" The man cooed, ew. "It seems you've forgotten all about my powers, I guess that just makes it easier for me then!" He exclaimed before doing your typical evil villain laugh. Were these guys really actual villains? Or maybe he just walked in front when I was distracted by this... Mess of a woman. The man smiled, man I really need names for these guys.. Okay. The man will be named Dá mǔ and the woman will be named Bèn. Perfect names for lunatics like them.

But as of now, I was cornered by these kuángrén, and there seemed to be no way out. Oh no, i'm doomeeeeeed! Too bad I don't care if I die or not."LEAVE SAILOR SAILOR ALONE!" A woman's voice yelled as a figure came flying in, trying to slice Bèn but missing, slicing a big chunk of her hair off. "MY GORGEOUS HAIR!" Bèn yelled out before rushing off to fix that mess she now has on her head. Dá mǔ cursed under his breath before yelling out something, "I'LL BE BACK SAILOR SAILOR, I'LL ALWAYS BE BACK!" What a cliche thing to yell out, i'm not scared what so ever. He's just a man who's probably taken way too many drugs.The girl who had saved me sported a similar outfit to mine, only being coloured green; I would take that dress over mine any day, mine's so pink that Pinky Pie would be jealous of how pink I was, bleugh. She smiled at me before going to talk, but I got outie right away, i'm tired and hungry, I don't want to deal with another annoying person. I ended up finding my way back onto the path and getting home. My mother was still at work, my father as well so they couldn't see me wearing this horrid outfit. Oh how excited they'd be to see me in something girly, gross. I looked at the charm that had connected to the bow on my outfit, I pulled it off with great force, it came off easier then I expected, woohoo! I chucked the charm out of the window, no more worries anymore haha! I grabbed a plate of jiǎo zi and then went to sleep shortly after. I never want to deal with that ever again!
