&Team Hyung Lines If They Were in a Movie?

A/N : What is meant here is their role, genre, story 'class', storyline, or trope in the movie (And all of this is based on my opinion as a writer)

Warnings : Fem!reader mention, grammar error

~~~~~~

EJ

|| Teenage Fiction, Teen Romance || Outstanding Students, Academic Rivals ||

: As we know, the leader of this &Team is an intelligent man and has high logic. If EJ plays the character of an outstanding student, then that role would be very suitable for him. I think, he will not be a geeky high achieving student, but an excellent student who is popular, handsome, and liked by girls, both seniors, juniors and his year mates. If the film takes a romantic direction, then a suitable partner for him (In my opinion) is a student who is equally accomplished like him. Or a lazy student who has bad academic grades, then EJ is chosen to be her tutor, and the two of them end up falling in love. Conflicts of jealousy or unhealthy competition can be added to this role. For example, EJ is jealous when his girl is close to a bad boy who has a bad reputation at their school, or vice versa. The issue of unhealthy competition is where EJ's academic rivals cheat so that EJ can 'drop in performance'. I really feel like this role is very relatable to EJ.

FUMA

|| Thriller, Action || A bodyguard who falls in love with his 'female' boss ||

: And yeah, the role of bodyguard is also really attached to Fuma. If he was offered a role as a bodyguard, then that would suit him. He will guard several important people such as the president or prime minister. Or if the film 'contains' mafia or crime elements, Fuma could be the main bodyguard of the Mafia Head. Action of shooting, running around in parkour style, dodging explosions, fighting really rolls into my head if Fuma takes the role of bodyguard. In the film, Fuma will play a good role in protecting his superiors. If he is assigned to look after a girl, whether the girl is his boss's daughter or his direct boss, he will be extra protective. If there is an element of romance, then his female boss or boss's daughter tends to express her feelings first to Fuma. However, in general, bodyguards 'don't' accept love from their superiors, because their job is only to look after them, not to fall in love.

Kei (K)

|| Romantic Fantasy, Action, Thriller || Alpha and his Luna (his Queen) ||

: As we know (2), Kei plays Khan in the Webtoon Comic 'Dark Moon : The Grey City', where his position is an Alpha. So this role is very inherent in him, his Alpha aura is truly invincible. He will become an Alpha who is truly respected by his followers, invincible, and has the highest magical powers. Alpha definitely needs his Luna, he still needs the Queen as the foundation for his life. I think Luna's character comes from a direct descendant of Vargr, which will make the chemistry even stronger with Kei's role as Alpha. Of course, wolves will never miss a fight with a vampire, maybe in the film, Kei will start acting and fight the vampires who 'kidnap' his Luna. His role will also be strong over love, as a werewolf will only love one person throughout his life. And if the person they love does not love them back, they will continue to love them one-sidedly until their death.

Nicholas

|| Crime, Romance, ANGST || "Mission, not love" ||

: Somehow I think this role is suitable for Nicholas. Where he plays a big-time fugitive who is most wanted by security officials. A detective or intelligence agent will be assigned to search for and arrest him with very thorough mission preparation. But in a crazy way, make him 'fell in love'. Nicholas will be deceived by the girl he 'of course' will love. The beautiful detective will trick Nicholas with her missions and tactics so that Nicholas can be truly fooled. In that role, Nicholas will be deceived by everything and actually sincerely loves the girl who is now tricking him. If the detective doesn't also fall in love with Nicholas, then the mission usually goes perfectly. However, if the detective also falls in love with Nicholas, the mission will be quite chaotic. The detective will feel guilty for fooling Nicholas, even though Nicholas' crime could have been very big. I can't imagine how the film would end.

Teru Minamoto x gn!Reader - 2.7k words

Warnings: none :D

Summary: After staying late in school for student council duties, Teru offers to walk you home and under the street lamp revelations and confessions occur. Teru might shine like the stars but he admires the moon.

Requested by: @sparrowb3nscloset (tysm for the request!♡)

Here's my Masterlist!

A/n: This is my first time writing for Teru so it was quite a challenge but I hope I did him justice! In this fic the reader is the vice president and Akane-kun is secretary. Also I didn't mean it to be this long but man apparently I'm incapable of writing anything below 1k anymore lmao. It wasn't as romantic as I hoped and honestly could be read in a platonic way but let's roll with it lol. Enjoy and please leave comments♡

Golden light seeped through the curtains of the classroom, bathing the room in an almost ethereal glow as the sun set for the day. Cicadas buzzed in the air; a calming silence filled the empty classroom. You sat at one of the tables, shuffling through student council paperwork and writing notes for the next new school event. Akane sat next to you, working through his own stack of papers as the secretary of the council. It wasn’t an unusual sight to see the both of you stay behind school hours working on council duties without the president in sight. You didn’t mind though; you knew how much of a busy person Teru was and you were just happy to help him in any way you could.

Akane, on the other hand, minded it a lot. The boy would have constantly complained about Teru’s absence in council duties if it weren’t for your strict work methods. After ending up one way or another alone with you during late afternoons due to Teru’s ways, he simply sighed and gave into the paper work, pushing his glasses up his nose bridge.

After a song of cicadas, Akane yawned and stretched his arms. He had finished the amount of paperwork due today and couldn’t wait to go home and see Aoi again. The brunette boy turned to you and said your name. “I’ve finished for today. How’s your stack?” He asked, pointing to the significantly larger stack of papers beside you.

You rose your head from what you had been reading and replied, “Oh, I still have some to go through, but it’s fine, you can leave, it’s getting late.”

Akane frowned at the amount you still had left to go through and absentmindedly picked a paper up from the stack. He recognized the file; it was the budget of the cooking club that Teru was supposed to work on and approve! He immediately scowled as his eyes ticked in annoyance. Of course, Teru would unashamedly push all of his work to you. The nerve of that boy.

“This is the budget that President Minamoto was supposed to go through!” He exclaimed, looking at you offended on your behalf.

You picked it back from Akane’s hands and set it back on the stack. “He needed some help and I was glad to offer some.” You shrugged.

Before Akane could respond, the classroom door opened to reveal an out of breath and slightly disheveled Teru. It looked like he ran to get to the classroom with slightly tousled hair and his uniform tie crooked. Electricity seemed to almost spark from him. Teru greeted you smiling before distantly remembering that Akane was also in the room.

“Oh, Akane, you’re also here.” Teru said, slightly less enthusiastic than when he greeted you.

“President Minamoto! How many times have you shoved your work to them?!” Akane asked, pissed off at his senior. He would have had more tact in front of seniors but with the amount of stress Teru has caused Akane for the times they have worked together, it was needless to say that politeness was of Akane’s least concerns.

Teru rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, a slight blush dusting his face. “Ah, I didn’t realize how much I had done that.”

You stood up from your seat, turning to Akane to stop a potential fight between the both of them. “It’s fine, really. Thanks for the concern but I really don’t mind the work and as long as I can help President Minamoto in anyway.” You smiled a small smile, bringing a hand to Akane to placate him.

Teru’s blue eyes flickered to your hand touching Akane’s shoulder and his smile faltered for a moment. “I swear I will make up to you,” He promised, raising his right hand and saying your name. “Starting now, since I’m already here.”

You let go of Akane, sensing his rage slowly fizzling out. “That’s great, I’ll hold onto that promise, President.” You smiled at Teru back.

Akane looked back and forth between the both of you, seeing an almost invisible spark of electricity between the both of you. He grimaced in disgust at the sight of it. The only romance he was concerned about was his long-term (although one-sided) relationship with Aoi. He couldn’t stand being the third wheel for his two seniors and co-council members.

“Yup, I’m leaving.” Akane swiftly took his supplies, dumping it into his bag before heading towards the door.

Teru smiled amusedly at Akane’s disgusted expression, raising the back of his hand to his mouth to stifle a chuckle.

“Good luck vice president!” Akane greeted, leaning in the doorway, raising a hand towards you. “Don’t do anything.” He later added, glaring intensely at Teru before finally leaving to the school corridors.

“Have a nice evening Akane.” You replied back, raising a hand in farewell.

Teru approached the table, standing close in front of you. “Akane is hilarious sometimes, almost seems like he has a crush on you with how he passionately defends you.” Teru distantly mused, smirking in amusement. His eyes on the other hand had a glint of something else, almost interrogative. It made your pulse skip a beat.

You shook your head humbly and replied back amusedly, “Oh no, he doesn’t. I see him as a little brother and I’m sure he sees me as an older sibling figure. Besides, he has been in love with Aoi ever since their childhoods.”

“Right, right. How could I forget?”

You bit back a smile at Teru’s words. His charisma was truly something else, but it wasn’t what made you like him earnestly.

Teru clapped his hands and moved to look at the stack of papers. “Right, let’s get to work.” He said before taking a seat in front of you.

You sat in front of him, taking a pen in your hand before offering another to Teru, noticing how he hadn’t carried any stationary when he arrived. He thanked you and gave you a grateful smile. The two of you steadily worked together through the papers until the golden light of the sun turned into pink dusk. The time had ticked by until it was on the cusp of nighttime and the both of you hadn’t realized it.

Teru sighed, setting his pen down and turning to you diligently writing. “It’s getting late, I’m sure I can finish this later.”

You looked up at him before turning to the windows, eyes widening that it was almost night time. “You’re right.” You gasped. “I can take this home and work on it—” You offered, hands moving to take the papers before larger hands covered yours, stopping you.

“Please let me finish it, it’s the least I could do after asking you to take over my position far too many times.” He requested.

His pleading eyes made you falter, sighing as you retreated your hands from the stack of papers. “Fine.”

“Thank you.”

Teru sighed and ran a hand through his blond hair, stressed and amused at himself. “Honestly, I should have been thanking you a long time ago. I really don’t know what I would do without you.” He scoffs at himself.

You shook your head. “I mean it when I say it’s alright, President.” You cracked a small smile before continuing, “I know how much you have to do and how many expectations you have as the top student and the oldest in your family. I’ll help you in any way I can, President Minamoto.”

“Please call me Teru.”

You looked at him, taken aback, before blinking back your shock. “Alright, Teru.” You said, testing his name on your tongue.

His eyes sparkled in a way that made your insides flip and turn. You were definitely going to call him Teru more.

“I really am the luckiest to have you as my vice president. Thank you,” Teru spoke not your last name, as he usually would, but your first name. Your heart skipped a beat at the sound of your name from Teru and fought the warmth that crept onto your face by turning away. You didn’t know how much you could handle being this close to Teru.

As the two of you cleaned up the table, returning the chairs to their original position and organizing the papers, Teru spoke up once more. “I’ll walk you back home, it’s dark outside.”

You mulled it around in your head, usually you would refuse if it was anyone else who offered. God knows what nefarious motives they could have to walk you home. But it wasn’t anyone else, it was Teru. You trusted him enough to let him walk you home and you couldn’t pass this opportunity of spending more time with him.

And soon enough, the two of you walked side by side to your home, illuminated by the yellow street lights. Teru walked leisurely, his bag over his shoulder and his steps matching yours. You had expected it to be a silent walk, almost slightly scared of it becoming awkward, but to your surprise you and Teru had a nice conversation about almost anything and everything from his family, especially his little sister Tiara, to your interests and studying methods for especially tricky subjects.

You laughed as Teru told another anecdote about how he almost scared his brother Kou to death the first time he tried cooking. You bowed your head in laughter as Teru told you how he almost burned their kitchen down. Teru glimpsed at you while telling his tale, admiring how the soft orange light of the street lamps made you glow as you laughed without a care.

“Teru!” You exclaimed, “How did you even mess up boiling pasta!”

Teru raised his brows defensively. “Hey! In fairness I was busy playing princesses with Tiara! I couldn’t say no to her.” He sulked, distantly remembering how Tiara attempted to give him a haircut and make over in revenge when he once said no to her.

“It’s shocking, really. I guess no one is really perfect, not even the school’s golden boy.” You teased Teru, nudging his side bravely.

Teru tried not to stutter at the touch, his charming persona slipping for a moment. He bowed his head and sighed tiredly.

You glanced at him again, noticing a bruise on the back of neck as he leaned his head downwards. “You know you don’t have to put an act around me, right?”

Teru raised his head and stared at you in shock, lips slightly apart. “Wha—”

“I’ve noticed how tired you have been lately. And you have a bruise.” You motioned to your own nape.

Teru raised his hand to cover his neck instinctively, cursing it under his breath.

“I won’t pry about it if you don’t want to, but are you alright?”

Teru faltered in his steps, taken aback at your honest question. He opened his mouth but hesitated to answer, not knowing on whether to lie to you or trust you with the truth. In the end, he chose to hide it once more, not out of distrust towards you but a fear on what could happen if you knew the truth.

“I’m fine, thank you for being concerned though, really.”

You could sense that he was hiding something but chose not to pry out of respect, you trusted Teru that he would tell you if he was in danger.

“I’m glad I have someone like you. You said that no one’s perfect but I think you’re pretty close to it.”

You huffed a laugh at his words. “Please, I am the farthest away from being perfect.” You shook your head vehemently.

Teru tilted his head. “Why not?” Teru smiles as you still denied his words. “I’m being dead serious, you’re one of the kindest and most considerate people I know.”

“But I’m intimidating!” You blurted. “And strict and always serious and—and I’m nothing like you.” You weakly motioned to Teru who looked at you in shock.

“You always shine wherever you go, you have countless of people falling at your feet, you effortlessly excel in every subject you take.” You brought a hand to your forehead. You couldn’t believe you spoke everything to Teru but you couldn’t stop yourself now.

“I’m homely and awkward and honestly the one of the reasons why I offered to help with your work is because I don’t really have anything else to do. No friends, no extracurriculars other than the council, I—"

“Am I not your friend?”

You stopped, taking a moment to breathe and look at Teru. You opened your mouth to speak but couldn’t muster any words out.

“I trust you the most outside of my family. And I’m sorry that I’ve been always disappearing and coming back with bruises. I wish I could tell you but I can’t because it would risk your safety. Hopefully one day when things calm down, I can finally be fully honest with you.”

You blinked back the glassiness of your eyes. You didn’t know how to feel. Teru Minamoto, your crush and co-council member, trusted you more than you had expected, he didn’t just see you as an assistant or a fellow classmate. But he was also carrying a burden, a secret that could threaten anyone that knew of it. Under the smiles and polite conversations, he had a weight on his shoulders that you couldn’t even imagine.

“I’m so sorry, Teru, you shouldn’t have to carry the responsibilities by yourself.”

Teru smiled sincerely, “It’s fine, I’ve gotten used to it. Besides, I’m not alone now, am I?” He asked you, hand outstretched towards yours.

“You’re right.” You said, clasping your hands in his. You laughed as he swung your intertwined hands childishly as the both of you continued walking under the street lights.

As you and Teru fell into a rhythm once more, Teru spoke up, “You should laugh more, it suits you.”

You shook your head in embarrassment and amusement at how open and care-free Teru is now.

He raised his hand as an idea popped in his head. “I’ll make it my personal mission to make you laugh more.”

“Really now?” You raised an eyebrow at the boy.

“You underestimate my comedy skills; I had to entertain to siblings throughout my life, still have to, even now.” He bragged.

“Mhm,” You agreed sarcastically, “I’m pretty sure you’re just stressing Kou out. Wouldn’t be surprised if that boy had grey hairs by the age of 20.”

Teru hunched his back, sulking at you. “Hey! I’m not that annoying.” He pouted.

“I never said you were annoying.” You said in a sing-song voice.

“Oh you—” Teru uttered before being cut off by you stopping abruptly.

“Oh, we’re at my house.”

Teru shook his head amusedly, “You’re lucky we arrived.”

“Or what, President?” You challenged him, stepping on your porch steps to stand taller.

“I guess we’ll never now, vice president.” He teased back, squinting his eyes in a light hearted but threatening way.

You laughed once more before turning to pull your keys out of your bag. Your keys clinked as you unlocked your door. “Have a nice night Teru, get home safe.”

“Wait.” Teru interrupted, moving to fish something out of his own bag. You moved from the door back to him expectedly.

He handed you a bracelet made of wooden beads and a charm. “I want you to have this. Consider it as a lucky charm.”

“Teru...” You hesitated, not expecting the beautiful yet simple bracelet.

“Please take it.” Teru extended his hand towards you.

You gently took it from his palms and put it on your wrist, turning it to admire the bracelet. It had an odd energy to it, but it wasn’t alarming, on the contrary it almost felt calming or protective.

“Thank you.”

You watched as Teru walked back into the night with his bag and slightly odd katana in hand. You leaned on the doorframe and watched him leave, smiling wistfully while playing with the beads of your new bracelet. After his back disappears out of view, you sighed and closed the door behind you, entering your home with a giddy heart. A few blocks away, in the middle of the night, Teru smiles as well as his hear fluttered in a way he had never felt before.

Lady C Tea YouTube 1/25/24 (a few nuggets paraphrased by me)

Greetings from Castle Goring,

Lady C, the gruesome twosome made an appearance for the Bob Marley movie premiere in Jamaica. I am hoping you have something spicy to say about it. A friend of mine saw Harry and Meghan at the Half Moon hotel on Monday. They were being trailed by one photographer so I am sure we will see paparazzi photos of them. According to my friend who saw them, Harry had a scowl on his face and looked miserable. Meghan was loving everything and spoke to my friend. I don’t think Meghan knew who they were. My friend felt pity for Harry. Can you imagine….Harry has said many times he hates photographers yet everywhere they go, a photographer follows them. They were there for the Bob Marley biopic film which is backed by the Bob Marley estate. I hear the movie is very good and worth watching. This film is very important to Paramount Pictures. They had their CEO there, Brian Robbins and his wife, Tracy James. Brian is also the President of Nickelodeon. I understand Meghan was very eager to be photographed with them. Also there was Andrew Holness who is the Prime Minister of Jamaica, who we know was also photographed with Harry and Meghan. Shall we take the gloves off and discuss the nitty gritty? First of all, I was told she looked several shades darker than normal. Several people commented how fake tan she looked and felt she did this deliberately to showcase her African heritage. Many people were offended by their presence. Harry and Meghan were the President and Vice President of the Commonwealth Trust and felt Harry and Meghan could do nothing positive for the Commonwealth – only race bait. I have covered in a previous video how Meghan’s race baiting ruined William and Catherine’s trip to Jamaica. This placed Andrew Holness into a difficult position. Meghan and Harry only took a photograph. By the way, Meghan was not invited to the premiere. She was #6 on the call sheet for Suits. #1 on the call sheet for Suits would have been invited. Harry was invited. Anyway, people are up in arms about this visit – in Britain and Jamaica. People were wondering why there were there at all? They had nothing to do with the movie. Did you notice how Meghan was a good mother for her kids on the night of the Living Legends award? <parody begin> “I am not getting my closeup, you aren’t getting my presence. Just make sure you put John Travolta in his place for dining out on Mom’s memory. Who does he think he is? He is not a star. Saturday Night Fever? Grease? I was the star of Suits. <end of parody> I have spoken to a lot of people. Harry was invited to this premiere – not Meghan. Ironically, this is what the QEII wanted Harry to do. She wanted Harry to visit the Commonwealth and encourage racial inclusivity. The people in Jamaica used to really like Harry and they still consider him a member of the Royal Family. Harry was viewed as a member of the Royal Family attending the premiere. Meghan’s mixed race heritage is helpful for the Royal Family. So very oddly, this came off like a Royal visit. In the 1950’s, Jamaica has at the head of racial inclusivity. Andrew Holness is a politician and politicians like to be #1. He has to take the view that Jamaica should be a republic. He is a centrist and we don’t know what he really thinks about things privately. Most Jamaicans don’t care if the country is a republic or a monarchy because they will still be in the Commonwealth. And the Royal Family is very supportive of Jamaica either way.

This Redditors Note: Lady C went into tremendous detail about the people she knows in Jamaica, the politics, and Jamaican culture. She is very proud of her heritage so please watch the video if you would like to hear her entire remarks.

Lady C, there is a comment on Quora that Harry and Meghan are no longer living together. Well as I said, Harry was seen on Monday and he looked miserable. Meghan looked very happy. I don’t like to listen to gossip. I think they are two peas of the same pod. “They are bound by their failings and it’s not that easy to escape from them when HIS children are involved.”

Lady C, so a sick child did not stop them from flying to Jamaica? When will they realize people can see through their lies? People like them never learn. People with their disorders are incapable of learning, it is part of the sickness. People like Meghan think they are so clever and so able to hoodwink everybody. Harry and Meghan are an exhibition in dupes who think they are duping but really they are only duping themselves and each other.

Lady C, are Harry and Meghan trying to undermine King Charles with the visit to Jamaica? It seems they are trying to get work with Nickelodeon. Does think mean they are not able to get work from WME? I suspect Harry and Meghan would have open delight if they could damage the monarchy. I don’t think they could ever destroy the monarchy and I think what is happening is they are only destroying themselves. I don’t think they do anything unless there is something in it for them. They didn’t attend this premiere to hurt the King, they did it to enrich themselves in some way. William Morris Endeavor hasn’t been able to get Meghan anything have they? Nickelodeon knows they can’t turn nickel into platinum. It is a diminishing level for both of them. Don’t think they didn’t go to Jamaica without incentives. And the incentives are becoming less and less. The incentives they would have had 4 years ago would have been much higher.

Lady C, at the Living Legends dinner there is video of Harry being shown his table and you can clearly see him say, “I am expected to sit here?” Could it be that he acted out on the podium? Quite possibly. He was definitely off his demeanor and upset about something. We don’t know exactly why Harry was off that night. Could have been a combination of things including Meghan’s absence. <Parody Begin> H - I have to stay home and take care of the babies. You know the babies that I carried for 18 months a piece. I am a wonder of nature. I carried the babies for 18 months each and returned to the figure I had!!! <end of parody>

Lady C clarified a story that (on the night she danced with John Travolta) Princess Diana really wanted to dance with Mikhail Baryshnikov but he had surgery on his knee and could not dance. Nancy Reagan arranged for John Travolta to ask Diana to dance. She also danced with Clint Eastwood, Neil Diamond, Tom Selleck and President Reagan that same evening.

Lady C says Harry colludes with Meghan for publicity whether he likes it or not. And their appearance in Jamaica created publicity for the movie which is why they were invited. Their presence does not impact Jamaica positively or adversely. Harry and Meghan are all about publicity.

Toodles Sinners!

Azul points out that not one of them has finished changing. Epel seems to be having trouble putting on his clothes. The vice president laughs and tells them to ask if they need help.

Rollo comments that it’s really noisy. Trein approaches him, and Rollo addresses him as “Mozius-senpai”??? Such familiarity! Anyways, Trein thanks Rollo for his hospitality. The dress is important because it helps teach culture and history. It’s a very good opportunity. Rollo says “Don’t mention it.” But he realizes it’s rude of him not to have also prepared a costume for Trein. Trein tells him it’s fine. At his age, if he wears a costume, the other teachers will laugh at him when he gets back to NRC. Rollo asks if that just means Trein is close with the teachers. But, Trein is like “No, it’s noisy and embarrassing.” They both start laughing. Obviously, these two are like two peas in a pod.

Silver announces he’s ready. Comes out wearing his outfit. After him, Rook and Riddle come out wearing their costumes. Rook notices that Rollo and Trein are hitting it off well. Riddle says he thought there were two Treins outside.😆 Ruggie comes out next and says Rollo is too grown up.

Deuce apologizes for taking too long. Says there’s too much cloth, and wasnt sure how to wear his costume. Epel notes that the costume is heavy, but he doesn’t feel hot in it. Jamil adds that it’s very breathable, and comfortable to wear. Sebek says it looks practical and strict. He likes it a lot.

Grim comes out laughing, asking how he looks. Asks Yuu that he’s better dressed than them. I decided to be nice to Grim and picked that he looked great. The other choice had Yuu say “I don’t know what you mean.”😂 Grim tells Yuu that their cloak doesn’t look as good as his, but it’s not bad. Deuce notices that Grim’s ribbon is also spread out against his back along the cloak. Also that Yuu and Grim are dressed the same.

Trein says they look spectacular. Riddle comments that the costume looks like a classic design. Rollo explains that the original pattern is more than 500 years old. People of the time had a custom to prepare new coats and new socks on the day of the festival. Over time, the costumes got flashy and gorgeous. From aristocrats, royalty, merchants, and knights, the clothes have been imitated by people in those positions, and became the present form.

Ruggie comments that even though he’s poor, he thought to dress up just for the day. Rook adds that he’s looking forward to the festival since it’s a much loved event. Rollo quietly hisses that it’s a deplorable thing. Sebek asks him what he said just now, but Rollo tells him it was nothing. Rollo doesn’t like festivals!😩

Malleus finally comes out dressed in his outfit. He says the clothes are calming, and would like to bring them back to Briar Valley. Azul comes out next saying he too likes his costume. He comments that it’s dressy and of good quality, and that it has a classic feel. Lastly, Idia… He cries that he doesn’t want to come out. The vice president tells Idia that Rollo is strict about time, and gives Idia a shove telling him to hurry up.🤣 Idia ends up stumbling outside with a yelp. Idia says he unexpectedly became a bird.😂 Trein declares that they’re all present now.

Sebek is thrilled. Over the moon. He has tears in his eyes upon seeing Malleus. My dude is absolutely going wild over his dear waka-sama.😂😂 It’s absolutely the best. Like, perhaps this is his dream! He’s all like “Humans! Do you see Malleus-sama’s precious figure!!??” And Jamil is like “Yeah, we see him.” None too impressed, lol.

After fangirling some more, Sebek gives his compliments to the “City of Flowers.” The vice present is like “Thanks…?”🤣 Sebek goes on to say that black really suits Malleus. Malleus reminds him that he always wears black. Sebek explains that he looks impressive with his usual attire. But, in this costume, Malleus exudes not only strength, but overflowing elegant beauty. Sebek shouts to Silver to say something. Silver says he held back because of Sebek’s fangirling, but he tells Malleus the costume suits him.

Idia mutters that those “normies” are so quick to praise, it’s scary.😂 Azul is amazed by how calm Malleus is with all that. Malleus notices that both Silver and Sebek are dressed similarly. Silver explains that their costumes were prepared so that while they stand at Malleus’s side as his guards, it would look beautiful. Sebek gives his gratitude again to the “City of Flowers”, which again, has the student council like “Um, thanks…?”

Malleus tells them they look just as impressive as the guards at the castle. He then remembers that he should send Lilia a picture since he can’t be the only one to admire them. However, for some reason Malleus says his phone is broken??? So, he says Yuu will have to take the picture instead. (Seriously, why is your phone broken, Malleus??)

With Sebek’s loudness, Trein says it’s enough to deduct a point, but overall, he’s glad everyone got to wear really nice clothes. They look really good. Unfortunately, Idia thinks otherwise. He sighs, questioning if their costumes are flattering, and pretty much says “Sorry for the consideration.” Like, NBC shouldn’t have troubled themselves. Trein is like “Why are you so self-deprecating? Don’t you have any confidence?” Azul asks Idia if he can’t take a compliment obediently. Even if it’s troublesome, it’d be a waste if he’s always gloomy.

Still, Idia sarcastically apologizes for the mockery saying “Oh no, lol, it’s so flattering, I’m serious, lol.” Idia, pls…🙃 To add insult to injury, Idia tells Azul he looks good too. Azul tells Idia not to get caught up with the “flow”. But, Idia is like “Really. Really. It feels 10% more fishy than usual.” (Lowkey shots fired…)

Ruggie comments that Idia and Azul are suited to their costumes. They look classy and match well. He feels like his costume makes him itchy, but overall, the merchant look isn’t so bad. Jamil agrees that it suits him. It’s shrewd, calculating, and makes Ruggie look smart. Ruggie is offended, of course. Because Jamil said so, he plans to return the costume.😆 We’re just throwing insults left and right…

Riddle tells Deuce he looks dignified, like some painting that has come to life. Deuce admits he didn’t think it suited him, but now that Riddle praised him, he feels more confident. Deuce tells Riddle he looks good, too. (Ok, I truly have no idea what the hell Deuce said. If I were to pick a word that equates what Deuce said, the closest I can use is the word “drip”. I’m too old for this, y’all…) Riddle accepts his compliments.

Epel approaches them looking sad, saying their outfits suit them too. Deuce tells Epel he looks good, as well. So, why does he look upset? Epel is like “That’s because…my outfit…looks really cute, right?” Showing off his cute boyish charm he obtained in Book 5. Deuce says it does, and Riddle adds that it looks very lovely on him.

Epel says even though he and Rook were dressed the same, Rook looks cool and slender. Epel wanted to look just like that. Rook jumps in telling Epel that he’s the only one in the world who could pull off such a charming look, though. Deuce agrees saying that the outfit is practically made for Epel, so he wants him to be confident. With his confidence restored, Epel thanks everyone and says he will brag to Vil later.

Rook mentions that the costumes seem to have been carefully prepared as if the person accurately portrayed their personalities. He notices Azul, and asks if he changed his glasses as the gold frame look elegant. Azul says that the glasses were prepared along with his costume. Although, Azul finds it a bit unpleasant that they even know his eyesight.

Anyways, the vice present is pleased that everyone liked their costumes. With this, they can fully enjoy the City of Flowers now. I had Yuu answer with the second option as they’re looking forward to walking in the city. Rollo agrees that they should head to the city as soon as possible.

The vice president suddenly remembers that there’s a stage show planned later in the evening at the festival, and wants the NRC group to see it. Rollo’s face darkens, and presses his handkerchief to his mouth. Time is running out.

Can we seriously stop talking about clothes now? Everybody looks great! Amazing! Beautiful! Spent a whole chapter on clothes🙃

Moving on, Trein announces that he has already divided the boys into groups on 3 in advance. He wants them to go into the city to do their fieldwork. Group A is Azul, Deuce, and Epel. Star☆Team is Idia, Rook, Silver, and Ruggie. Team 1 is Malleus, Sebek, Riddle, and Jamil. You can really tell who named the groups as such🤣

Rollo feels guilty that the harmony has been disrupted now that the NRC group is divided. However, Trein tells him it was decided as such during the meeting because they argued about it.😂 He basically relented so long as he got his three groups. Rollo looks over at Yuu and asks about them. Trein replies that Yuu and Grim will be with him, so he doesn’t need to worry about them, but he isn’t so sure about the others. He addresses the boys reminding them about what he always says in school about using magic in the city.

Azul replies that having a fight is not allowed. So, no violence in the city. Idia follows it up by saying that they are good and gentle people with common sense~. Malleus finishes by asking if they look like rogues who are disrespectful to strangers. And the NRC boys all collectively declare that they will be fine.

Trein isn’t so much convinced. Even though they’re in a peaceful city in the Land of Pyroxene, he finds it hard to let the students roam around freely. He can’t let the people of the city come to harm. So, Trein declares that they meet up from time to time, and should they run into trouble, to contact him immediately. He tells them they can find his cell number at the bottom of the itinerary, and to immediately register it in their phones.

Ruggie says he’ll register the number later, and Trein yells at him to do it now. Rollo notes that Trein is very strict.😆 Anyways, Rollo tells the group he has to attend to the people from other schools, so he won’t be able to join them all the time. He’ll be going around the city later, so he invites them to freely talk to him then. With that said, Trein tells the boys to head out as they give a resounding cheer.

To be continued in episode 2!💖

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls- Season 2, Episode 22 (Last Episode of the Season). "I Can't Get Started" Part 4

Aaaaand we've finally arrived at the finish line for Season 2. I began recapping this season on November 25th, 2022, the day after Thanksgiving...310 days ago. SaltyGilmores! SaltyGilmores! Can you tell us a little about how you're feeling as you prepare to begin season 3?

You ever watch a Stars Hollow crowd scene on Gilmore Girls and go, who the hell are all these people and where did they come from?

This is so ridiculously corny and cute. This is what we live for. This is what Gilly Girls is all about. You ever see some of the spicy tight and low cut blouses Lane wears on this show and wonder how Mrs Kim ever allowed her out of the house? I'm asking the important questions today.

R: I'm about to cheat on your ass so hard your head will spin. I am gonna kiss my stepcousin so hard.

D: (pointing to Miss Patty, Babette, and the Stars Hollowans gathered around the piano) How many cocktails caused that? R: None, but when they start drinking we're going to have to hide you. One of ASP's favorite recurring jokes is the one where Miss Patty, left to her own devices, would inevitably try to force herself sexually onto Jess and Dean; it's unclear in this scenario whether that is the threat or if it's "we're gonna have to hide you or she'll make you sing.". But I can take a guess here.

There's another sexual predator who loves tall pretty teenage boys lurking around this wedding that you should be more concerned about.

Dean gets a "We're calling to discuss your car's extended warranty" call and pretends it's someone important on the line so he can keep fooling Rory into thinking he actually has a life. Uh, anyway, it's Paris? Calling Dean's phone? Alright.Rory asks Paris how she got Dean's number but It's never explained. Paris is a wizard.

Sookie is having her wedding on a Friday afternoon. It is a Friday and Rory is not in school (AGAIN!), Dean, Lane and Jess are not at school (AGAIN), Rory is missing ELECTION DAY at school where she may potentially be elected Vice President, Lorelai is not working and making Michel fill in for her, there are dozens of other people attending this wedding who are not working, IT'S A FRIDAY AFTERNOON NO ONE IS WORKING (EXCEPT MICHEL) OR GOING TO SCHOOL THEY'RE ALL AT THIS WEDDING. Also, everyone is DRUNK on a Friday afternoon. Well I can't hate on that. What else is there to do in the Hollow besides drink away your troubles? Headmaster Charleston: Miss Gilmore, would you care to explain these multiple unexcused absences? Rory: Well, two weeks ago I ditched school to take a bus to new york city to eat wieners with my cousin and this week I skipped school to go to my mother's friend's wedding which she scheduled for the middle of the afternoon on a Friday, and I had to stick to my agenda of going to the wedding and kissing my cousin. Paris doesn't directly say that GellerMore won, but Rory thinks it's implied (and we already know they win). She proceeds to notifiy Dean. Who is just...over the moon upon hearing the news.

Well...okay. Fine. I'll take it. Where's the angry posseiveness? Like the time Rory wanted to spend time away from him volunteering? Or spend one night away from him doing her laundry? Or spend an hour eating lunch with Jess? Or.. It's probably because this time there are witnesses around, although that would imply Dean actually has some level of self awareness that his behavior is inappropriate. Speaking of Inappropriate...

Well, that answers THAT question.

...Says the sexual predator, as she drools over him like a dog eyeing a well cooked 6'4 steak.

Don’t drag my girl Babette into this, she's devoted to her Morey. Unlike you two beasts, Lorelai and MP, she has some standards).

Chris Hansen would have a field day at this wedding with all these predators in one place. Why does Crusty's suit look like it's incredibly ill fitting? Maybe it's just me.

STOP IT!!!! I COMMAND YOU TO STOP IT!!!

Lorelai and Crusty are shamelessly swapping spit in the middle of her friend’s wedding reception, sullying the virgin eyes of Rory and a minister and Sookie and God and Lane and everyone else. Lore to Crusty: Stop looking at me like that or everyone here will think we did it! Pretty rich coming from soneone who looks at Dean Forrester the same way. I HATE that I'm recapping this FILTH and don't know WHY I'm doing it. Crusty (before Lorelai's parents walked up and mercifully interrupted them) Do you feel embarrased about last night? Sorry about it? Want to repeat it?

IN FRONT OF HER GOSH DANG MOTHER/GRANDMOTHER OF HIS CHILD. Disgusting, filthy, shameless psychopaths.

Dat's a good question.

I mean, it's a half truth, at least. Now you wanna tell your Mom how he used his daughter's medical appointment as a springboard to dive straight into your pants?

Has he now? Golly gee whillikers, I must have missed that part, must've happened in between all the rounds of projectile vomitting I've been doing.

Lorelai, with the world's worst poker face as she daydreams about her next Crusty Porking, convinces Emily that Christopher is only here to spend more time with Rory and Emily is like well isn't that nice. Are we really supposed to believe Emily is that fucking stupid?

Let's check back in with some of the more non-loathsome residents of the Hollow. Take it away Kirk! Then take ME away. Please.

Rory, for your own sanity and wellbeing, please keep your mind unsullied and pure and don't ask your crusty father questions like this.

Oh Rory. Oh my poor sweet innocent bubs, Rory.

Nobody owns calendars in the Hollow, I suppose. Please see my throbbing, rock hard photographic proof above that this wedding is happening on a Friday. (Not to mention, if it was Sunday...Paris is at school?) I will have to squeeze the remaining four minutes (The Jess Minutes) into one final post. After I mop up my barf. Toodles.

prompt: decoration

Heartbeat and pressure rising steadily as papers crossed his *tableless* office floor, 4ever gripped his suit to not tear off some floorboard, all furniture in most active bases simply *gone*. Culprit was clear as day, and Cellbit was really clamoring for something to be done, but 4ever sighed away his communicator, pressing his hands in his temples to alleviate to rapidly coming headache, he should try wrangling something out of the shadow entity.

and *yet*, something made him hesitate to follow the plan his vice laid out in private messages and Richarlyson cross communication. It wasn't the prospect of jailing some resident surely, but... 4ever skin itched, maybe he could settle this in some other form, that didn't also want to make him tear his hair off.

Pulling his warpstone, it is easy to get near Bad's base, but 4ever does loudly swear as the papers accidentally come with him in the teleportation, spreading in a mess against the terrain.

Kneeling down, the sound of someone coming near made his hands shake, but 4ever didn't stop. Some papers waive on his vision, making him stop and look.

"Hello president, what brings you here?"

Bad smiles down at him, and the part of his mind that howls at the moon wants to grind his teeth, but 4ever only cracks a teasing smile at the demon before taking the papers and gets up to face him.

"Can't i visit a friend to detress, Bad?"

"Uhum."

Bad crossed his arms, squinting the light dots of eyes up to 4ever. His skin itched under the layers.

"So? can we go inside or we just gonna stand in this field..."

"Aren't there more important things for you to worry about?"

"Hum?"

"You know, with the whole... disapearance of things."

"So you want to talk about that?" 4ever felt his smile widen, teasing ready jab at his friend.

Bad turned. "C'mon, do you want to see the aquarium?"

4ever smile dropped, something strange in the air between them, but yet. "Of course!"

They trudged along, silence both comfortable and making 4ever mind think over the strange air, maybe Bad was already onto him and his intentions? the demon couldn't possibly overlook that he was the most likely suspect after all.

Entering the halls full of chaos of mobs and backpacks is somehow both a delight and despairing feeling, the chaos was a delight, and 4ever heart ached for the mess and how to clean it up, o how they need a sorting system, maybe he can have a world with-

"4ever... what you think about a black sofa?"

He blinks and looks up at the demon.

"... Some specific place or just, their general look??"

"Like, here, exactly, Let me just..." And then there it was, a two seat sofa laid out from one of the demon's backpacks.

It almost made a vein pop in 4ever head.

"The... the wood work is intricate!"

"Right? tho i thought the dark color could be swapped for something more fun."

4ever watched Bad smile, and god he **cannot** not be fucking with him, holding his breath for a moment and let go, and decided that yeah, let's turn this game a bit.

"How? skinning out another sofa?"

Bad tilted his head at him. "Hum... i don't know, maybe i have some dye-."

"But that would be boring wouldn't it?"

4ever took a step forward, leaning into Bad's space as he squinted more at him, fangs peaking between lips.

Perhaps 4ever shouldn’t focus so much on his mouth.

"As boring as leaving furniture not rescued would it?"

"Are you accusing me of something, president?"

4ever's face opened in a toothy grin.

"Did you leave the server furniture-less, Badboy?"

He watched as the demon expression twitched, his tail whipped two times, his hands pressing and smoothing the fabric he could reach naturally.

Intrusive thoughts would say to 4ever make sure to crumple that part extra more.

"What are you talking about?"

The blond pounced quickly, holding his arms and taking both of them down easily, slamming the demon onto the sofa is an exhilarating feeling that also makes him bear his fangs

"I'm not up to that game, so what about this, if you don't give me an answer, I'll paint this sofa with *your* blood, huh?"

4ever almost wanted to laugh, seeing a blush spread bellow the light eyes, of course he would like this, because he always got along best with the more fucked ones.

"That’s an... interesting offer~"

With a more tight grip, 4ever had to breath out, ok then, they were going to play this game then.

That's totally not what I was expecting you to with the theme but I loved it!!! Forgive me for the lack of words it's 2am over here. But. Know that I loved it!!!!

Spacesuited Snoopy doll floats in zero-g on moon-bound Artemis 1 mission

By Robert Z. Pearlman, 16 November 2022

"When NASA was identifying what the ZGI would be, it just seemed to make sense that it was Snoopy."

Snoopy, "the world-famous astronaut," has made it into space — again.

The white-spotted dog, who became "the first beagle on the moon" in a series of Peanuts comic strips in 1969, is now on his way back to the moon aboard NASA's Artemis 1 mission.

Snoopy, in the form of a small doll dressed in a one-of-a-kind replica of NASA's pressure suit for Artemis astronauts, is the "zero-g indicator" or ZGI on board the space agency's now lunar-orbit-bound Orion spacecraft.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Snoopy. They had to put you on a leash because you're hanging in the Orion capsule right now," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said during an August photo op with the beagle (in this case, a costume character also wearing the bright orange spacesuit).

"Snoopy was the last person to be put in Orion when they closed the hatch."

Snoopy's leash, or tether, was to keep the doll in view of a camera inside Orion's cabin.

Traditionally, zero-g indicators have been flown on crewed spacecraft as a visual sign for the astronauts that they have reached orbit.

The Artemis 1 Orion is flying without a crew — other than Snoopy, four LEGO minifigures, Shaun the Sheep, and three instrumented manikins — so the doll was flown for the benefit of the public watching the launch on NASA's television channel or website.

"When NASA was identifying what the ZGI would be, it just seemed to make sense that it was Snoopy," Melissa Menta, senior vice president for marketing and communications at Peanuts Worldwide, said in an interview with collectSPACE.com.

"Snoopy has been part of the NASA history for so long."

Snoopy has been associated with NASA since 1968, when the space agency approached Peanuts artist Charles Schulz for permission to use his comic strip dog as a safety mascot in the wake of a fire that claimed three astronauts' lives.

That same year, NASA introduced the Silver Snoopy award, an honor presented only by astronauts to members of the NASA workforce whose outstanding achievements contributed to mission safety and success in human spaceflight.

"Sparky always said that he was very proud to have worked with NASA and to have had them choose his characters," Jeannie Schulz, the widow of Charles "Sparky" Schulz, said in a 2019 interview with collectSPACE.

In 2018, 50 years after Snoopy first entered service for the U.S. space program, NASA and Peanuts Worldwide expanded the use of the beagle and the Peanuts gang to help promote NASA's Artemis missions and its ongoing efforts to engage students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities.

Since then, Peanuts has licensed companies like Hallmark to produce spacesuited Snoopy dolls, including one that was flown to the International Space Station.

The ZGI on Orion, though, is a custom creation.

To create the doll, Peanuts turned to Martin Izquierdo, a noted costume designer specializing in miniatures, who had previously made the outfits for a Snoopy-themed fashion exhibit.

Izquierdo came out of retirement to fabricate the Snoopy-sized pressure suit for the Artemis 1 mission, working together with Ted Southern, the president and CEO of Final Frontier Design, a firm developing spacesuit parts for NASA and private spaceflight companies.

"NASA sent us reference materials and they sent us the cloth," said Menta.

Over the next 25 days, Snoopy will float aboard Orion as it makes a close flyby of the lunar surface and then soars well past the moon, traveling farther away from Earth than any spacecraft made for astronauts (or beagles) in history.

He will then return home, protected by a heat shield designed to survive a reentry from lunar-return velocities.

Snoopy will splash down on December 11, having added another space mission to his credit.

It is not clear what will happen to him after that, although if returned to Peanuts Worldwide, the doll will be destined for the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.

(A pen nib used by the late comic strip artist to draw Peanuts is also on Orion and will be going to the museum as well.)

Other 2022 Recommendations

I often find a fascinating piece of media with at least one Asian or Hispanic/Latin American entertainer prominently involved, but don’t end up blogging about it. Sometimes, I feel too far from the target demographic to properly discuss it. Other times, my admiration doesn’t feel as deep as it does for the likes of Everything Everywhere All at Once. Yet other times, the subject seems too intricate for me to blog about, especially if I check it out beyond its time of relevance. Still, some of this media felt entertaining and/or noteworthy enough for at least lip service. For brevity’s sake, I’ll limit my recommendations to works released this year. Each section lists them by order of release date.

Most of these works have more Asian, Hispanic, and/or Latin American cast and crew members than listed.

Honorable Mentions

Various Disney Channel cartoons: The Owl House (episodes #30-41 aired this year) and The Ghost and Molly McGee (#11-20) deliver charm and emotional appeal, best appreciated when watching the respective shows in whole. The Owl House probably would've risen into the Recommended TV Shows section if Disney didn't force everyone involved to rush the story.

Easter Sunday: Reportedly the first major motion picture with a predominantly Filipino-American cast, this comedy draws laughs from satirizing FilAm family quirks and celebrity worship culture. Unfortunately, while the characters' exaggerated demonstrations of admiration for Manny Pacquiao formed the plot line that I enjoyed the most, they wouldn't amuse viewers who never belonged to his fanbase - as I once did - and/or wish that the movie gave his role to someone non-homophobic.

Toon Makers' Sailor Moon pitches: The long-awaited unearthing of a cheesy, unfaithful, and failed attempt to adapt Naoko Takeuchi's beloved manga for American children deserves acknowledgement in this year-end retrospective, as well as at least one viewing from American Sailor Moon fans.

Recommended Movies

Turning Red: The nostalgic feature-length directorial debut of a future Pixar vice president of creative proved objectively nice enough to become one of my top 10 favorite movies from the studio.  It also became the first Pixar picture from this decade that I would purchase on Blu-ray and digital.

Starring Rosalie Chiang as Mei Lee and Sandra Oh as Ming Lee

Co-Starring several other Asian actors, including Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Priya Manga, Hyein Park as Abby Park, and Wai Ching Ho as Wu

Directed by Domee Shi

Written by Domee Shi and Julia Cho

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent: Delightfully expert comic timing and a wide emotional range help develop passionate cinephile Javi Gutierrez beyond a wish-fulfilling self-insert.

Starring Pedro Pascal as Javi Gutierrez

Father of the Bride: Among all the movie adaptations released so far of Edward Streeter's novel, the humor and drama of this one feel the most up my alley, though I felt I needed at least one more viewing to fully grasp the worth of the added divorce-related storylines.

Starring Andy Garcia as Billy Herrera, Gloria Estefan as Ingrid Herrera, and Adria Arjona as Sofia Herrera

Co-Starring Isabela Merced as Cora Herrera, Diego Bonita as Adan Castillo, and Pedro Damián as Hernan Castillo

Directed by Gary Alazraki

Written by Matt Lopez

Bonus Features

Embrace the Panda: Making Turning Red: As with Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, Turning Red's most insightful extra feature remains exclusive to Disney+.

Almost Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Everything Everywhere All at Once: The Everything Everywhere All at Once Blu-ray and DVD contain the most comprehensive extras platter I've found in quite a while for a brand-new movie, especially since this 41-minute documentary runs longer than every other documentary I've seen on an A24 Blu-ray.  One of the other bonus features even reached the big screen, when EEAaO's critical and financial successes convinced A24 to theatrically distribute a version of the film with the gag reel tacked onto the end.

Recommended TV Shows

Our Flag Means Death Season One: While not the main character, incognito assassin Jim Jimenez and their vengeful plight form some of this charming show's most intriguing subplots.

Co-Starring Vico Ortiz as Jim Jimenez and Guz Khan as Ivan

Guest-Starring Fred Armisen as Geraldo

Directed by Fernando Frías (#5: "The Best Revenge is Dressing Well"; #6: "The Art of Fuckery"; #7: "This is Happening")

Written by Eliza Jiménez Cossio (#4: "Discomfort in a Married State"), John Mahone (#5: "The Best Revenge is Dressing Well"), and Zaye Ferrer (#7: "This is Happening")

Amphibia episodes #50-58: The most widely-appealing Disney Channel cartoon I've seen with a female lead of color aired its last nine episodes this year, and managed to stick the landing in the finale.

Created by Matt Braly

Starring Brenda Song as Anne Boonchuy

Co-Starring Anna Akana as Sasha Waybright, Haley Tju as Marcy Wu, On Braly as Mrs. Boonchuy, and Brian Sounalath as Mr. Boonchuy

Co-written by Jenava Mie (#52a "Sasha's Angels"; #54a "The Root of Evil"; #57 "All In") and Gloria Shen (#50 "Return to Amphibia"; #52b "Olm Town Road"; #55a "Newts in Tights"; #57 "All In")

What We Do in the Shadows Season Four: This offshoot of my favorite Taika Waititi movie deftly pulls off a literally monstrous premise with strong comedy and pathos.  Season Four's changes to the status quo resulted in some worthwhile revelations and storylines, even if not all of those changes will carry over into Season Five.

Starring Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless and Harvey Gullién as Guillermo de la Cruz

Co-starring Anoop Desai as the Djinn and Parisa Fakhri as Marwa

Directed by Tig Fong (#36: "The Wedding")

Written by Marika Sawyer (co-wrote #36: "The Wedding"; wrote "#38: "Go Flip Yourself" alone)

Patagonia: Life on the Edge of the World: This miniseries delivers some fascinating insight into various types of South American wildlife, and their relationships with the environment and humans.

Narrated by Pedro Pascal

Starring various South American scientists as themselves

Andor Season One: Due to my preference for Star Wars chronicles that instill a sense of accomplishment and/or hope, episodes in which the Empire inflicts realistic despair only appeal to me if I can bunch them with ones in which Cassian and his peers achieve rousing and immensely satisfying, yet either small or incomplete, victories.  While this condition and the relatively low view counts could call into question Disney+'s decision to release Chapters 4-12 at a rate of one per week, the season's grounded insight into the Rebellion, captivating performances, and high-quality production values still turn this into one of the most exemplary Star Wars TV shows.

Starring and Executive Produced by Diego Luna as Cassian Andor

Co-Starring Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, Varada Sethu as Cinta Kaz, and Andy Serkis as Kino Loy

Guest-Starring Antonio Viña as Kassa

Discrimination towards Asian-Americans has reached alarming levels.  I would like my readers to donate to The AAPI Community Fund, even if I personally take no share of the funds.

[cinnabundolly12]

Hi, I wanted to say that your art style is super cute, i love how bright it is, snd I wanted to ask if you have any particular headcanons for the fnafhs cast, any ideas or relationships (of any kind, to be clear) you have made! Things that you changed from the source material, kept, expanded on, anything! Id love to hear how you interpret these characters

For example, you drew bonnie snd fred working at an ice cream place, and il thats a trend going around but do you have any hesdcanons for anyone working in particular places or any coworker dynamics ?

So sorry if this is too much at once or unintelligible!

Thank you I tried sticking to edo's color pallets while also fixing them to fit my color picking choices XD the style for the series was changed to being chibi like to draw easier and faster (due to my hand pains I have been recently having these past months) I wanted to try cartoon like style but I haven't picked a decent coloring style yet which is why everything hasn't been rendered so well worry guys ;v;

Yea ok the team and I decided that some characters desperately needed a rewrite so all the headcanons and some of my comics jokes are canon to the au they're not just my ideas but mostly are

Here's some stuff I've added/kept relationship wise

Golden x Fox

Owynn x Fred x Joy

Toddy x Onnie

Meg x Spring

B x B?

Fede x Felix

Eak x Town Trap

There's most likely more ships in the future but they're extra characters from the rest of the fnaf franchise c:

In my au Bonnie's mother is having troubles paying bills so bonnie gets a job to help out and the animatronics offer to help take a shift so they take turns (still a process being looked through) it's a small workplace that I haven't finished designing yet so more on that later but the animatronics are like siblings so there will be chaos >:3c

Spring would take on small jobs like he did in the series except he will be getting his money because he needs to feed the household somehow XD

The au has the bands working to get 1st place so they'll get the prize money so not many of them are job focused uwu)b

The villains are kind of a mess atm since there's 2 villain groups and they themselves are fighting each other because of their goals (and the meddling of fred/dy and joy)

My favorite thing which I have not shown yet is owynn and vanny hating each other so much they want to get physically violent but their solution has been nerf gun fights in the student council room xD (vanny is president and owynn is vice president) others in the council are Mai, Puppet, eak, TownTrap, Moon (other positions being looked at aka no more spoilers lol)

The world of shadows is being included in a different kind of form if you've seen the glitches in fnaf world then you'll probably understand and the locked door from help wanted is being turned into a thing which is where security puppet is placed in which is why I have had her interacting with fred/dy and joy (joy is sorta having this big role along side the boys so her character development is supposed to be made with their help)

Ann and bonnie are going to continue getting bullied but I'm going to try to expand on it a bit (I've also been bullied before and I ended up becoming friends with one bully but I'm not pulling that deltarune card xD)

I made Freddy's emotions a bit more dramatic and he ended up being a little depressed I'm not sure how far to censor that tho but Fred has been showing his scars which Freddy does not like since he's still trying to "play normal" and their role of their friendship with the animatronics are flipped from the original Fred wants to hang out with the animatronics to be normal and Freddy wants to be by himself not talking to anyone trying to pretend to be normal especially since Fred keeps getting more out of his control and taking over the body by force

I gave Fred a pet to help balance out this human thing which is also playing the part for the "magical girl" thing where the creature helps transform the person but Fred can be human at the cost of being a pet owner to a very hungry monster xD the problem of this creature is trying to balance out how long Fred can be human since I don't want it to be like a Fred can turn whenever he wants to he actually has to make sure the pet has energy up so that Fred can continue being human at school all day

The problem with golden being "the golden boy" has definitely been looked into and his rank position will very much effect the band especially against upcoming rivals I have written down UwU

I'm still debating which things get drawn into a side comic for fun and which will actually get put into the series as I'm writing down future episodes but if there's any questions about specific characters (existing fnafhs characters/ fnaf franchise/ fnaf fazbear frights/ fnafsb tales from the megaplex/ fazbear fanverse) I don't mind answering especially since most are still being looked into or being made as background characters c:

The Continued Consolidation of Hak Ja Han's New Theology

▲ Myeongdae Kim, a senior FFWPU leader in Korea

Myeongdae Kim's lecture "Mrs. Hak Ja Han, the Only-Begotten Daughter, and Substantial Holy Spirit" delivered at Whasun Church on November 27, 2022, has been spread around in the form of a video (though only audio of the lecture exists) recently by Hyun Jin (Preston) followers and Hyung Jin (Sanctuary) followers alike. Kim is the former National Leader of FFWPU Japan and the current Vice-President of the Committee of Elder Pastors in Korea.

In the video, Kim boldly states that Moon’s words were mostly false:

"Regarding Father's words, please listen to me carefully. If you do not understand this correctly, trouble may befall you. 95% of Father's words are not true."

Kim revealed that Han had been making clear among the highest leadership that Father had original sin, like his siblings, and that she was the one born without original sin. 

Since Jesus never found a wife, she was the First True Mother, a role long awaited for 2,000 years, and the one who would restore a man to be true father in order to create a true family and initiate the kingdom of heaven on earth. Kim says that Han chose Moon, and had many options, as there had been many leaders with messianic aspirations at that time. He said there were "dozens of people just like Father" and that Han watched them, and carefully chose Moon. It was through Han's wedding to Moon that he was engrafted into God's lineage. Han had made it very clear: God had prepared many. Moon was her choice. 

She also made it clear that Moon had failed his portion of responsibility. He failed to educate his children in the fact that their mother was the Only Begotten Daughter. In her eyes, because of this, and a series of his own failures, which she had previously referred to as his tail, the movement is now divided.  Apparently Han openly received negative feedback from some leaders who claim that the church will lose members over these teachings. Han is trying to be careful about how she is disclosing these doctrines, but last spring she made it clear that the church had a year to “cut the tail of Abonim.” The new theology is now being more rapidly and widely taught in FFWPU churches all over the world.

Gazing Skyward, and Awaiting a Moment of Awe (NYT) On Monday, millions of people are hoping for a sun-powered experience of awe. A total solar eclipse will sweep across North America, from Mazatlán up through Indiana to Newfoundland. More than 30 million people live in the path of totality, where for a few brief minutes the moon will entirely block out the sun, and darkness will swallow the light of day. A halo will glow white behind the moon, the sun’s corona. The eclipse evokes for many a sort of mystical moment and childlike wonder, as awareness of the celestial encompasses the earth. It is a present reminder to everyone, on the same day, that life can be magical.

Travel Will Add a Record $11.1 Trillion to the Global Economy in 2024 (Bloomberg) The travel industry’s global economic impact continues to gain ground. This year, it’s expected to reach a record-breaking $11.1 trillion, surpassing its prior high of $10 trillion in 2019. In another decade, tourism is forecast to become a $16 trillion industry, at which point it would make up 11.4% of the global gross domestic product. Today, 1 in 10 people are employed in jobs that relate to tourism; by 2034, that will climb, with an estimated 12.2% of global jobs contributing to the sector. All this is part of the 2024 global Economic Impact Research released on Thursday by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).

Amid explosive demand, America is running out of power (Washington Post) Vast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid. In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of new electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently. Arizona Public Service, the largest utility in that state, is also struggling to keep up, projecting it will be out of transmission capacity before the end of the decade absent major upgrades. Northern Virginia needs the equivalent of several large nuclear power plants to serve all the new data centers planned and under construction. Texas, where electricity shortages are already routine on hot summer days, faces the same dilemma.

Mexico severs diplomatic ties with Ecuador after police storm its embassy to arrest politician (AP) Mexico’s government severed diplomatic ties with Ecuador after police broke into the Mexican Embassy to arrest a former Ecuadorian vice president, an extraordinary use of force that shocked and mystified regional leaders and diplomats. Ecuadorian police late Friday broke through the external doors of the embassy in the capital, Quito, to arrest Jorge Glas, who had been residing there since December. Glas sought political asylum at the embassy after being indicted on corruption charges. The raid prompted Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to announce the breaking off of diplomatic relations with Ecuador on Friday evening. Glas’ attorney, Sonia Vera, told The Associated Press that officers broke into his room and he resisted when they attempted to put his hands behind his back. She said the officers then “knocked him to the floor, kicked him in the head, in the spine, in the legs, the hands,” and when he “couldn’t walk, they dragged him out.”

UK lawmaker admits passing colleagues’ numbers to stranger met on dating app (Reuters) A senior member of Britain’s governing Conservative Party has admitted supplying the personal details of fellow lawmakers to someone he met online, saying he had felt compromised after he sent them intimate photos of himself. William Wragg told the Times newspaper he had handed over the phone numbers of colleagues to a man he met on a dating app, part of what is reported to be a wider operation targeting people working in the British parliament. The Times said those colleagues were then sent unsolicited flirtatious messages and two lawmakers had responded by sending explicit photographs of themselves. News outlet Politico said 12 men including a serving government minister were known to have been targeted in the suspected operation, receiving flirtatious messages and pictures from people who called themselves Abi or Charlie.

Christiania, Copenhagen’s hippie oasis, wants to rebuild without its illegal hashish market (AP) The now-aging hippies who took over a derelict naval base in Copenhagen more than 50 years ago and turned it into a freewheeling community known as Christiania want to boot out criminals who control the community’s lucrative market for hashish by ripping up the cobblestoned street where it openly changes hands. Over the years, there have been many attempts to halt the illegal hashish sales which have often ended in violent clashes between criminal gangs and police, with trading then quickly resuming. On Saturday, residents started digging up Pusher Street, after which they can receive government money earmarked for the area’s renovation. The plan is to create “a new Christiania without the criminal hashish market,” said Mette Prag, coordinator of a new public housing project in the enclave. Prag, who has lived in Christiania for 37 years, likened it to “a village.” “We don’t want the gangsters anymore,” said Hulda Mader, who has lived in Christiania for 40 years.

Farmers in India are hit hard by extreme weather. Some say expanding natural farming is the answer (AP) There’s a pungent odor on Ratna Raju’s farm that he says is protecting his crops from the unpredictable and extreme weather that’s become more frequent with human-caused climate change. The smell comes from a concoction of cow urine, an unrefined sugar known as jaggery, and other organic materials that act as fertilizers, pesticides and bad weather barriers for his corn, rice, leafy greens and other vegetables on his farm in Guntur in India’s southern Andhra Pradesh state. The region is frequently hit by cyclones and extreme heat, and farmers say that so-called natural farming protects their crops because the soil can hold more water, and their more robust roots help the plants withstand strong winds. Experts say these methods should be expanded across India’s vast agricultural lands as climate change and decreasing profits have led to multiple farmers’ protests this year. But fledgling government support across the country for these methods means most farmers still use chemical pesticides and fertilizers, making them more vulnerable when extreme weather hits.

New Zealand tightens visa rules amid near record migration (Reuters) New Zealand said on Sunday that it was making immediate changes to its employment visa program after a near record migration last year which it said was “unsustainable”. The changes include measures such as introducing English language requirement for low skilled jobs and setting a minimum skills and work experience threshold for most employer work visas. The maximum continuous stay for most low skilled roles will also be reduced to three years from five years. New Zealand, which has a population of about 5.1 million, has seen a rapid growth in its migrant numbers since the end of the pandemic, raising concerns last year that it was fanning inflation. Neighbouring Australia, which has also seen a big jump in migrants, has said it would halve its migrant intake over the next two years.

After six months of war, Israel’s isolation grows with no end in sight (AP) When Israel declared war against Hamas last October, it stood unified at home and enjoyed broad backing from around the world following an unprecedented attack by the Islamic militant group. Six months later, Israel finds itself in a far different place: bogged down in Gaza, divided domestically, isolated internationally and increasingly at odds with its closest ally. The risk of a broader regional war remains real. Despite Israel’s fierce military onslaught, Hamas is still standing, if significantly weakened. The offensive has pushed Gaza into a humanitarian crisis, displacing more than 80% of the population and leaving over 1 million people on the brink of starvation. Yet Israel hasn’t presented a postwar vision acceptable to its partners, and cease-fire talks remain at a standstill.

Rwanda’s Ruler Holds Tight Grip (NYT) Blood coursed through the streets of Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, in April 1994 as machete-wielding militiamen began a campaign of genocide that killed as many as 800,000 people, one of the great horrors of the late 20th century. Thirty years later, Kigali is the envy of Africa. Smooth streets curl past gleaming towers that hold banks, luxury hotels and tech startups. There is a Volkswagen car plant and an mRNA vaccine facility. A 10,000-seat arena hosts Africa’s biggest basketball league and concerts by stars like Kendrick Lamar, the American rapper, who performed there in December. Tourists fly in to visit Rwanda’s famed gorillas. Government officials from other African countries arrive for lessons in good governance. The electricity is reliable. Traffic cops do not solicit bribes. Violence is rare. The architect of this stunning transformation, President Paul Kagame, achieved it with harsh methods that would normally attract international condemnation. Rwanda’s tragic history makes it an “immensely special case,” Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, once said.

Zimbabwe introduces new currency as depreciation and rising inflation stoke economic turmoil (AP) Zimbabwe on Friday launched a new currency to replace its previous one that in recent months has been battered by depreciation, and in some instances rejection by the population. Authorities hope the new measure will halt a currency crisis underlining the country’s yearslong economic troubles. Since January, the Zimbabwe dollar lost over 70% of its value on the official market, and was plunging even further on the thriving but illegal black market. Inflation increased from 26.5% in December last year to 34.8% this January before spiking to 55.3% in March, according to official figures. Friday’s announcement is the latest of a cocktail of currency measures undertaken by the Zimbabwean government since the initial spectacular collapse of the Zimbabwe dollar in 2009. The period saw the country at one point issuing a 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollar banknote before the government was forced to temporarily scrap its currency and allow the U.S. dollar to be used as legal tender.

(OPINION) Vote "Violent J" and "Shaggy2Dope" of I.C.P. for President of the United States. Fuck America, what has it done for me?

I can't say for certain that this is a call to arms of the youth, but what I will say is this: All those bags of bones in government offices will either govern you into varying degrees of misery, or they won't fucking govern at all. American politicians only care about two things: money and themselves. A bunch of losers in suits down in Ohio offered to overturn a landslide marijuana legalization vote (somehow?????) all for the sake of their make believe fucking fairytale sky dictator. Cunts. The Insane Clown Posse, and their fans were put on Earth to spread joy, positivity, and freedom of expression in many an art form. They are the polar opposites of piece of shit, 1%-er, bald, white dipshit politicians, and anyone born and raised in San Antonio, TX.

We have a president currently in office that's used the "N" word on live TV meetings in the late 80's early-ish 90's, has a hate boner for Haitian people and their country, and is actively funding and supporting Palestinian apartheid. The dude running against him in this years POTUS race is a conniving rapist, gun ho "white power" enabling, bat-shit stupid convicted felon. Go back in time and tell Teddy Roosevelt that a man whom brazenly told the world he hid felony-level-classified state documents from FLOOR TO CEILING in his golf home shitter is actively running for president in 2024, and he would pull out a .22 derringer, shoot you in between the eyes, and have your corpse dismissed as "extra-terrestrial." So fuck it. We the people can do write ins.

None of the misery I listed above would happen in an Insane Clown Posse U.S.A. Nuh uh, no siree. Just think about the policies we could get passed with a couple of juggalos in the oval office huh? New prints of the bible have disclaimers on them, letting them know that god is indeed, not real, and that they should delegate that love to the people they, oh I don't know, gave birth to! Kid Rock banned in all 50 states. Faygo now has a 0 calorie option and is only 99 cents.

John Fetterman gets guillotined live on CNN. Free healthcare.

Defense budget spending is reduced to half of it currently is.

The Juggalo College Loan Forgiveness Program (in order to have all your debt erased, suck some whippit out of a balloon on a beachfront balcony office.)

Mardi Gras is celebrated nationally in every major city in all 50 states and is broadcast live on MSNBC like the new years eve ball drop, only everything is uncensored including all the ass-holes, dicks and puke. And we have people from the news studio go down to bourbon street, get shitfaced, and moon the camera live on TV. Rent reduced by like 90%.

Home ownership is possible for over 75% of the younger generation, for the first time ever. Israel isn't recognized as a country anymore (finally) 3/4's of the NYPD are fired, blacklisted, and can never serve even the simplest security job ever the fuck again. Lest their hatred for colored skin erupt again and take it out on the dude corralling carts into Target. All IOF fighters are extradited to the U.S. , tried and charged for war crimes, mass murder, etc. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Nemathatyou or however the fuck you spell that dogs name, is chained by his ankles to the hitch of a 2002 Chevy Silverado, then dragged and beaten within an inch of his worthless life through the poorest, most poorly paved city in the entirety of Mississippi.

Both tumblr and twitters CEO's disappear and is replaced with non-transphobic and generally friendlier leadership Would you believe me if I said that this is the short list?! What on this list isn't there to like? If this sounds like the America you want, then just write-in "Violent J" as president, and "Shaggy2Dope" as vice president this November. Fuck homegrown and nepotistic politicians. It's time for some real change. Change for the better. We can also make Boeing change their name back to "McDonnell Douglas."

VOTE I.C.P. FOR PRESIDENT, BITCHES!!!!!!!!

How I think it would go:

Yeonjun and you would have been childhood friends like the iconic duo that always manage year after years to be in the same class. Yeonjun proud to be the chill class president students can rely on rather than fear and you his loyal vice president. When you were little that was something you enjoyed also since Yeonjun was quite popular you benefited from it too. He saw you as a little sister tho and growing up you felt like you wanted him to treat you as the woman you were and not just a “sister” or a “friend”. He was totally unaware of that and thought the situation was already perfect and hoped like a child it would last forever. Torn between wanting to affirm yourself leaving old responsibilities behind to find time for what you truly enjoy and your feelings for Yeonjun, that’s when Beomgyu a student Yeonjun and you often clashed with for his lack of seriousness at school and his dreamy,reckless,bold(dumb to you) attitude ended up unexpectedly tutoring you when your grade went down in your

//chosen subject// and he turned out quite as an hidden genius! His jokes weren’t so lame and taken aback by his patience and willingness to assist you, you started opening up to him faster than you thought! Thanks to him you told Yeonjun you didn’t wanted to be his vice anymore and your feelings for him at the same time, but as expected it didn’t went well and Yeonjun was persuaded that it was Beomgyu influence that made you have weird ideas like that, hurt by his words you stormed out yelling how could you being in love with him a weird idea and he was left shocked. The next day Yeonjun tried to act like nothing happened but infact you made him understand it wasn’t just a phase by firing yourself and finding a new vice the same day. Weeks passed and Beomgyu made helped you not miss Yeonjun one, you were over him in more or less than a month (romantically) but still missed his friendship. Yeonjun on his side realized he needed you in his life and that he was jealous of Beomgyu so he asked by message to hang out again as friend even if you were changed now he would adapt to it, when Beomgyu knew about this he felt Yeonjun could steal you again from him (infact he crushed on you since a long time) and you two argued about you telling Beomgyu that if he wanted to control everything for you he wasn’t that much different than Yeonjun. In the end for the next months it was a ping pong between Beomgyu and Yeonjun for your attention that you just ignored since your feelings were really clear now, to make them get along you even had to force them to hangout. Yeonjun confessed to you even tho he knew your choice was already done. One day Beomgyu was fighting with Yeonjun about who should hang out with you on that Friday (they divided “group hang outs” and “dates”equally so they could both have chances) and Yeonjun that lost his patience but promised to not expose you hinted at Beomgyu making him listen to an audio where you said “I already made my choice long ago” then he asked with a serious stare “You understand now? So let me go with her Friday night” And Beomgyu thinking the audio was about Soobin answered “Very well! She’s all yours i guess..” with a sarcastic smile to hide the tears. The next day Saturday you should have hanged out the three of y’all since on Sunday everybody would leave for the summer break and each one of you would go to different places for 2 whole months, you would have confessed to Beomgyu with Yeonjun help to surprise him and that’s why you met up with Yeonjun the night before. He didn’t showed up, you weren’t even angry neither surprised it was typical of him and you decided to enjoy your day with Yeonjun but that’s when he realized he must have thought wrong of the audio he immediately told that to you and you were at loss of words..you both took back your bicycle and ran to his home but you already lost time hanging and arguing and losing yourselves you arrived in his neighborhood and you could recognize his house cause you saw his car leaving for the station. Yeonjun and you were both too heavy to got fast so he told you he would get off. You arrived at the same fast than his car and tried to make him notice you by the window and finally he did but you didn’t saw the turning point and fell while his car fastened up since he was late and his parents didn’t stopped to his request. Yeonjun that ran after you eventually arrived with the surprise and yelled at you why you didn’t get back on the bicycle but you cried and whined it was too late he took your bike and made you hop in behind him trying to go the faster he could while you thought it was the end. You arrived, late, too late Beomgyu couldn’t convince his parents to wait and as you saw the train leaving with him it pierced your heart but Yeonjun even more heartbroken to see you like that started running after it and by miracle found Beomgyu window and Beomgyu seeing him outside yelling opened it and that’s when Yeonjun threw the surprise..

In the new things you tried out there was photography and you got a Polaroid, you told Yeonjun that found it useless that it was to catch the happy and special moments and keep them in an image so he sometimes tried watching trough it and find them..and that’s how he realized you chose him infact he captured all the little moments unconsciously between both of you and watching at the photos he kept, he could feel what you talked about..he gave you the photos (because he originally wanted to confess with yours with him) and you took his idea deciding to write behind each one of them a part of your confession.

Beomgyu opened up the little box and couldn’t believe it.

He convinced his parents to stop at the next stop to have break and you had time to join him here to say bye. Yeonjun told you to go alone cause it was about you two even if the truth was that he was hurt.

Back from summer you became a couple and Yeonjun had his happy end too falling for a girl in vacations than then came as a new student to your class and she became his new vice.

You ended high school as an iconic couple quator.

THE END

You ended with: Beomgyu
