A Visual Compendium

Excerpted from the Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine, March 7, 2021

By Joshua Powell

Hiker Haven

IN 2003, JERRY Dinsmore invited three thru-hikers back to his home, thinking they were homeless and in need of help. He soon learned they were hiking the PCT, and Hiker Haven was born. Jerry and his wife, Andrea, hosted hikers every year after that and became particularly adept at helping northbound hikers make wise decisions regarding the potentially dangerous weather north of Stevens Pass.

When I visited in 2014, plastic pink flamingos adorned the yard. Andrea’s license plate read, “PCT MOM,” and next to it was a bumper sticker that stated, “Hug a logger. You’ll never go back to trees.” Hikers did their laundry and wandered about in borrowed clothing. One woman wore a tiny dress, revealing a smattering of tattoos. A male hiker donned a dress as well, the hair on his shoulders and back sticking out in large patches. A German hiker joked in his thick accent, “You look silly … but sexy.”

Jerry Dinsmore, clad in suspenders and a vintage Kenworth Trucks shirt, pulled up a chair alongside me, and we sat and watched as a train rolled past, loaded down with airplanes en route to the Boeing facility near Seattle. They were only fuselages, devoid of their wings.

“There’s a tunnel a few miles back with a pile of wings next to the entrance,” he joked.

Another thru-hiker, fresh from Stevens Pass, was dropped off in the driveway. Andrea greeted him, reaching out her arm to shake hands. He instinctively stuck out his closed hand, offering the customary thru-hiker fist bump.

“Oh, that’s not gonna go over well,” Jerry said, laughing.

The PCT community lost a very special member with the passing of Andrea in 2017. Jerry still welcomes hikers to his home in Baring.

Glacier Peak Wilderness

THE SURROUNDING RIDGES are carpeted in luminous green meadows lit up by the morning sun. The sky is free of haze, and the surrounding mountains are crystal clear as far as the eye can see. Rainier still reveals itself from time to time, peeking over southern ridges. Marmots whistle from the berry bushes, their heads protruding from the leaves like periscopes as they scan their surroundings. The trail at times crosses over snowfields and then past small Mica Lake, which still harbors floating ice. With September drawing near, the ice is unlikely to melt before the snow once again begins to fall — it has been victorious in its resistance to summer.

Glacier Peak seems to be Washington’s forgotten volcano — due in part to its location within a large, roadless wilderness area. From surrounding areas, there are fewer dramatic views of the mountain than there are of Adams, Rainier or Baker. It tends to blend in with the tall, jagged peaks surrounding it. The thru-hiker, however, gets to know the volcano intimately as the PCT skirts along its base and crosses the creeks draining its slopes, gaining and losing thousands of feet of elevation in the process.

Stehekin

FROM SUIATTLE PASS, the landscape seems to gradually tilt downward toward the horizon, and hikers can look forward to a descent all the way to Stehekin, the final trail town of the PCT — famous in thru-hiker lore for its bakery. It sits secluded at the northern tip of Lake Chelan, accessible only by boat, plane or hiking trail. To say that it’s remote is an understatement.

The PCT brings hikers to the end of the single road that leads into town. From there they can get on the National Park Service shuttle or perhaps catch a ride with a local fisherman. Stehekin is small and compact, with an idyllic location amid the lake and mountains. All the vehicles parked at the ferry landing seem at least four or five decades old, only adding to the feeling that time stands still in this lakeside town.

Hikers can set up for the night in a tiny campground perched on a miniature bluff above the water, watching brightly colored float planes land upon the lake’s surface and skim to a halt. When night falls, the view of the Milky Way is breathtaking. Stehekin translates to “the way through,” an appropriate name for a trail town on a thru-hike.

Stehekin’s main road curves around the marshy northernmost tip of Lake Chelan, where the Little Boulder Creek empties into the lake. It is the extreme end of a 50-mile body of water that narrowly snakes through the mountains down to the dry and sun-baked wine country of Central Washington, so drastically different from the often-overcast and rainy North Cascades.

An old Chevy pickup passes by on the road. Owned by the Stehekin Pastry Company, it is on its way down to the boat landing. A girl and dog sit atop the wooden flatbed of the truck. Farther down the road is a beautiful garden full of cabbage, kale and other produce. A row of dahlias lines a pathway, the intricately geometrical puffs of each flower leading the way toward an apiary buzzing with honey bees. On a bench rests a pile of rainbow chard, the leaves bright green and glossy and the stems neatly arranged in shifting hues of orange, yellow and purple.

The bakery truck passes again, headed back in the other direction. This time, the girl sits in the passenger seat, and the flatbed is piled high with boxes and goods that have been boated in. The little dog is positioned atop the huge pile with his chest puffed out, standing guard over his precious cargo.

Epilogue

AS YOU HIKE mile after mile across three states, you imagine that final moment of reaching the border to be an overwhelming experience, assuming the gravity of it will hit you like a ton of bricks. In reality, however, when you’ve lived out every month and week and day and hour and minute and second that transpires between Mexico and Canada, it’s not quite as dramatic as you might expect.

There was no surprise in the end, but the sense of accomplishment was hardly diminished. And with it came the realization that it was all over, and I was headed back to real life, full of its own unique joys and difficulties. I couldn’t stay on the trail forever, nor did I wish to. I simply hoped to find the next big thing to work toward, the next passion that would consume me from waking until bedtime.

Rivers Dream

I dreamed I was talking to Rivers in his dressing room. We’d stayed up all night, it was late, or early morning, not sure. He was waxing philosophical about himself, how he couldn’t sleep and he just wanted someone to sleep with - literally to go to sleep with them, and I was mostly just listening to him (like a therapist but internally sighing and fangirling!!!)

Then I moved closer to him, like real close, his face looked so soft and warm and smooth, as if he’d just shaved or got out of the bath. He was sitting down and he let me climb on top of him and straddle his lap. But his arms stayed by his sides, he didn’t wrap them round me (le tear😢). I picked his arms up and let them fall down, resigned to the fact, saying “so that’s it then?”

He replied. “Girl you maybe the one for me in time but not right now”💔💔💔

It was a gentle let-down😭😭😭

He was wearing that oversized “baker boy” cap from the White era, and the red pants (I’d looked at pics on my insta last night)

Then he sang to me, like a periscope or a live, but his voice was louder than I expected it to be, being so close to him, rather than watching on a screen, but it was raspy and tired from staying up talking all night. It was sad and beautiful.

Thinking about it, although it wasn’t part of the dream, maybe it was celibate Rivers. But not early struggling celibate, more like later, wiser more philosophical celibate Rivers. It was like he was teaching me patience or something. Ohhhh shit, it was like he was Hot Priest and I was Fleabag!!! Except I didn’t get to shag him😩 this time anyway, there’s always another dream opportunity🥲 (dream-ortunity??)

Survey #292

“dear god, let’s make this fucking clear: dear god, there’s nothing that i fear”

What internet browser do you use? Chrome. What brand water do you drink? (Smart Water, Dasani, etc) Mom just grabs the Great Value jugs. Do you have a job? No. Are you full-time or part-time? N/A Are you watching TV right now? No. Or are you listening to music? Yeah, "Mr. Crowley" by Ozzy. Such a great song. Would you go to jail for 3 years for $1,000,000? No. I would NOT survive in jail. When's your birthday? February 5th. I cannot fucking believe I'm almost 25. Thoughts on kids? Too impressionable for me. Even with my niece and nephew, I feel like every single word I say just like... stamps into their brains, and what if I say something that negatively affects them? I feel like it's my responsibility as an aunt to be a fountain of wisdom when I'm definitely not. I just get nervous around kids. Worst punishment you've ever received by your parents? I wouldn't call it a "punishment," but when I skinned the everliving fuck out of my knees and Mom was patching me up while I was just sobbing away, my dad literally roared "SHUT UP!" from my parents' bedroom, and it's stuck with me forever. Honestly, I think it may be a root in my extreme fear of men yelling. Worst punishment from Mom, probably this time where she smacked the shit outta my arm as a kid and left a clear handprint for a while. Are you the type who is completely against abortion? Why? No, I am firmly pro-choice, despite being pro-life most of my life. I don't feel like writing a moral essay, but basically, I absolutely cannot agree with forcing a woman to carry a human they don't want for whatever reason for nine fucking months, endure one of the most traumatically painful things known to man, and then properly and adequately care for that child. That is such a huge fucking responsibility that should be forced upon *nobody*. "But adoption!" Yeah, go tell that to the thousands of children waiting on you. This is leaning on exactly what I said I wouldn't do, so moving along. Have you ever read a book that actually changed your outlook on life? "I’ve read some books that were phenomenal, but I wouldn’t necessarily go so far as to say that they 'changed my outlook on life'." <<<< This was Johnny Got His Gun for me. Does your favorite flower hold any meaning to you? No. What would you do if your favorite animal became endangered? I would fucking freak. Have you ever owned an expensive eyeshadow palette? No, but I honestly do want at least one, primarily with a deep black and then some nice grays and neutral colors. Do you own a tripod for your camera? Yes. Are your nails always painted? Quite the opposite. What's one thing you've had a toxic reaction to? A breakup. Which holiday is your favorite to decorate for? I honestly don't really decorate because I just don't have the motivation, but Halloween is the best. Were you popular in school? Nope. Are there any foods that often give you heartburn or indigestion? BANANAS, dark sodas (like Coke or Dr. Pepper), peanut butter can... It's hard for me to tell much now because I have chronic heartburn and am medicated for it. Works great, so I don't experience this much. Is there something you intend to buy in the near future? Yes. Once my tattoo is done (I'm setting the appointment the next time we leave the house, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH), what I have left is going towards Venus' new terrarium. She really needs a 40 gallon. Is anyone in your family artistically talented? What about musically? I was the art kid, and family still insist I should be an artist. What cute behaviors or characteristics does/do your pet(s) have? Omg, Roman has so many. He nuzzles me all the time, will collapse into my hand to pet him, he insists on being the little spoon at bedtime (no, really), he literally tries to groom me with his teeth, licks my face... He is just a doll. My little buddy for sure. Now onto Venus. She loves to chill next to me in bed or find a cozy place under the covers, and omgggg does she love to slither around the bed doing the periscope thing. So curious. What's the screensaver on your computer? I don't have one. What’s the sexiest thing about a guy? I am WEAK for nice shoulderblades/muscular shoulders ok. What’s the sexiest thing about a girl? I am an ass bitch and I will not hesitate to admit it ayyyyyeeeee. Who were you with at midnight on January 1, 2021? Nobody. Who was the last person to send you a message on social media? My sister Misty. She's planning to surprise Mom (her stepmom, anyway) by showing up in a few weeks with her fiance and all her kids she's never met but desperately wants to. My mom is the only "real mom" she's ever had, and she just feels so bad that she has a by now teenage daughter (among three other younger ones) that has never met her "grandmother." It's just an expensive and long trip, but Misty's finally called it enough and is just driving down here with everyone. Mom is going to fucking sob. ^ What qualities does this person have, that you appreciate? Nice timing for this, since her fiercely anti-mask bullshit is all I can focus on about her lately... but there are good things about her. She truly is a very loving, passionate woman that, just like me, feels deeply and expresses it. What was the last thing that caused you to scowl, or frown? Does grimacing count from a sudden bodily pain? Have you smiled at any point during the last hour? Yeah. I'm watching the VOD of Arin Hanson playing Kingdom Hearts 2 for charity, and he went on a total fucking laughing fit. His laugh is so precious, so I just couldn't stop grinning. What was the last thing you consulted Google for? Ensuring "grimace" was the right word for my former expression, even though I was pretty positive it was correct... I don't know if anyone's noticed, but my English skills are degrading, particularly in spelling. It's concerning me. I was an English whiz my whole life up to now. My only guess is it's related to how godawful my memory is also declining. So, did anyone send you a "Happy New Year" message when midnight hit? No. When was the last time you were on a carousel? Probably not since I was a teenager being goofy with Jason or somebody. What is the closest you have ever been to an elephant? I have a picture on my dA of a beautiful elephant walking RIGHT by its fence at the zoo. It was pretty amazing, considering just how incredibly immense their enclosure is. Have you ever played Halo? No, it's not my kinda game. Have you ever read a National Geographic magazine? Oh, I'm positive I've read sections while in waiting rooms of various places. When was the last time you had a pillow fight? I have no idea. Realistically it was probably w/ Jason since that sounds like some cute playfighting thing we'd do, but I don't remember a particular instance. Name somebody who you think deserves more respect: "Retail works. The horror stories my mom has on the daily is absolutely ridiculous. People can be so incredibly rude." <<<< I absolutely agree with this; what friends and strangers alike rant about is just depressing. Nobody, especially those working through a goddamn pandemic that's killing thousands, deserves the disrespect that comes their way. Have some goddamn decency and know half the issues you bring up to retail workers isn't even their damn fault. Ohhhh, I could rant about this. In your own words, define what the word sexy means. So you mean like, what I think is considered sexy, not just the general definition? If that's the case, uhhh. Self-confidence (but absolutely not arrogance) is very attractive to me as a bitch who lacks it entirely, as well as good manners, being outgoing, and just... charm. I don't quite know how to describe that "charm" other than I'm really drawn to people who are unique and happy with it and just seem to have an aura about them that feels good to be in. What is the most popular tourist attraction where you live? I'm going to look at this question as if you're asking about my state and not general location because 1.) there ain't shit here and 2.) I'd prefer to keep relatively where I live quiet on the Internet. Looked it up and apparently NC's biggest tourist bait is the Biltmore Estate. Never been there myself, but it'd be pretty dope. Without looking - do you know what brand your underwear is? I'm in my own home and pjs, who the fuck wears underwear with that criteria lmao. Are you any good at volleyball? NOOOOOOOOO. I went to a volleyball camp thing once when I was younger and that shit hurts the hell outta your hands. I didn't stay long. Have you ever had a water balloon fight? Why of course. Do you think some babies are ugly? Quite honestly, probably most, especially newborns. Don’t you miss Chuck E. Cheese? I do; going there was one of the most exciting possible things to me as a kiddo. Do you think Fall Out Boy is gonna be a classic band, like Queen or AC/DC? Possibly. I mean they sure are pretty successful and well-known. Do you love stuff-crusted pizza? Eh, it's not my preference, but I'll eat it. Do you apply lotion after you bathe? No, but I really should, given how dry my skin is. What’s your favorite color? Pastel pink. Who did you have your most amazing kiss with? I'd like to not think about this. Has a YouTube video of yours ever gotten over 10,000 views? Lol definitely not. I think at least one on my older channel hit 1k somehow???? It was a birthday gift I made for someone. Would you ever get a tattoo on your collar bone? lol I already have one there. At some point I'm getting it covered, though. Do you like Robert Frost poems? I do! Do you go to church every Sunday? I never do. Have you ever been in a relationship on-and-off for more than a year? No, I don't play that game. You want me or you don't, so I'm not wasting my time on your uncertainty or just our lack of stability for whatever reason. If you had to get famous for one of the following, which would you choose: music, acting, writing, modeling? Absolutely writing. What do you think of girls with huge boobs that don’t wear bras in public? ?????????????????? i don't?????????????? care???????????????? they're not my tits??????????????? What is the last thing you tried on in a store? I don't know. I avoid trying shit on like the plague. And then it ends up being too big/small. I wonder why. Is sleeping naked more comfortable than in clothes? I've only ever fallen asleep naked once, and accidentally at that, so I really don't remember how I felt about it? Consciously though, I would feel very, very vulnerable so don't have plans to when I have my own place. Have you ever had a dream in which you were making out, or more, with someone? HAHAHA Y'AAAAAALLLLLLL THIS WAS DEADASS THE ONLY LUCID DREAM I'VE EVER HAD LMAOOOOO Do you feel as though you have a good memory, or are you forgetful at times? Do you feel that your short-term memory or long-term memory is better? My short-term memory is absolutely atrocious, like to the point it seriously affects my ability to get shit done. You can give me something that needs to be done and I will forget in a heartbeat. Now, my long-term memory is astonishing. I can remember many things from my childhood in incredible detail. Have you ever had a concussion or some other sort of brain injury before? Did you need to have surgery for it? I've had a concussion or two. I can't remember which. I didn't need surgery. Do you have any sort of mental illnesses or disorders? What do they involve? Yeah: chronic depression, crippling social anxiety, generalized anxiety, avoidant personality disorder (AvPD), obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD, bipolar II, and I think that's it. My head's a mess and a half. What’s the longest that your hair has ever been? How about the shortest? When is the last time that you got it cut? About to the small of my back; how it is now, which is pretty much shaved on the left and fades to near my chin on the right. I actually got it cut last month; we've gone to a family friend for years whose shop is just an extra building by her house and very rarely has more than two clients in it. We had masks on, of course. At what age did you start getting gray hairs, if you happen to have any? I don't have any. Somehow, given my stress level at all times, haha. What are some ways that you style your hair? Do you use any sorts of products in it? It's too short to style. I don't use any products in it but obviously shampoo. Who was the last person to truly get on your nerves? What do you think caused you to feel that way? Probably my mom. I think she was in a rotten mood for one reason or another and just being snappy and generally rude. Do you recycle? Is this through choice or do you live somewhere where it’s compulsory? We do; it's by choice, and it'd be immensely ignorant not to where we live considering it literally gets picked up with the other garbage. Do you prefer plain, carbonated, or flavored water? Do you think you drink enough water throughout the day? I've never tried carbonated water, and flavored water rarely works for me due to artificial sweeteners giving me beastly headaches. So I'll just take really cold, filtered water. Have you ever needed to call the police, ambulance, or fire department? I had to call the ambulance for my mom right before her cancer was discovered because she was literally immobile and in ungodly pain. When was the last time you visited the library? What was the purpose of your visit? At my old college, as the newspaper photographer, I took some artsy pics up there. I will probably forever worry that leaving school resulted in the biggest career opportunity slipping through my fingers through that newspaper. Do you see a lot of wild animals where you live? Are any of them dangerous? I guess about the normal amount you'd see in the country. Some dangerous animals live here, sure, that's probably everywhere, but you very rarely see any. Aside from when you were born, have you ever had to stay the night in the hospital? For suicidal thoughts and one attempt, yes. Have you ever experienced a panic attack? Ahhhh, do I know those well. Thankfully, it's been a long time since I had an all-out panic attack. Would you ever want to go into the medical profession? Was your answer different pre-COVID? Nope. Well, besides being a vet, which I haven't wanted to be since I was a kid. Where you live, are people paying attention to whatever restrictions are in place to help control COVID? Many? No. Because it's apparently a fuckin hoax or not as bad as the government wants us to think. Fucking cretins. Do you get a real or artificial Christmas tree? Artificial. Real ones aren't worth the money nor mess. What’s your favourite type/flavor of popcorn? Caramel corn. Do you drink oat milk? No, but I'm interested in at least trying it. The dairy industry is absolutely repulsive if you look into it, and I'd love to do what I can to take as little part in it as possible... even though I am a dairy fiend. I seriously wish I could go vegan, I am just WAY too picky for it. Do you love thrifting? Oh fuck yes. I've been very few times in my life, but I'mm all about it. Do you consider using only lowercase letters your aesthetic? I do find it visually appealing; I like the flow of similar letter height. I never do it for "serious" things, but on places where it's "for the aesthetic," it's likely that's how I'll write something. Do you say “mood?” Way too much lmao. Do you own fairy lights? No, though I would like them if it wouldn't look stupid in my room. Do you own glass straws because the metal ones kind of gross you out because you can’t tell if they are clean or not? ... I didn't know glass straws were a thing. I have a handful of metal ones though, but I always forget I have one in my purse when I go out... Have you made a TikTok? No. Do you own airpods? No. Are you afraid of Mercury in retrograde? I don't believe in a planet's position or whatever having any effect on people. Do you make life choices based on astrology? Definitely not, considering I don't believe in it to begin with. How many pairs of converse shoes do you own? Maybe like, five? Number of jeans in your closet: Zero. What accent do you have? Not really any, but sometimes I sound kinda southern with specific words. Do you have a big butt? Yo I got a Hank Hill ass, so no. Do you count how long you and your gf/bf have been together? In my past relationships, yes, I assigned our anniversary to memory. I don't really... know why, like it doesn't really matter how long you've been together, I just do. Have you graduated? From HS, yes. I dropped out of college three times lmao. Rihanna or Lady GaGa? Ohhh, not sure. Maybe GaGa, but both ladies have songs I love. "Disturbia" doess beat all of her songs, tho. The fuckin BEAT. Do you use fake eyelashes? Never tried 'em. Which was the last book that really captivated you? The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. What makeup brands do you use? I'm not loyal to any, really. I would be if I could afford expensive shit, but yeah, that ain't my life.

Battle of Baydor: Chapter 4

Masterlist: 1│2│3│4│5

Marching in the dense jungle with their men, Anakin's posture was hunched as he hardly utters a word from his mouth. His Togruta apprentice's eyes glanced sideways towards him, frowning. This isn't like Skyguy at all, she noticed. He must be having a lot of doubts about the plan.

He couldn't help it. Worrying for Eva and Lira's safety. As the adult in charge of watching them, he couldn't control his feelings. If anything goes wrong, it's all on him. Obi-Wan and Vanya would lecture him for putting the kids at risk, or worse. He crossed two of his fingers, hoping things will go as plan.

"Everything alright, Skyguy?" Ahsoka questioned her master, both hands by her side. The hazelnut-haired Jedi glanced at Ahsoka, giving her a slight smile. "I'm fine, Snips."

"Is it the plan?" she guessed, letting Anakin sighed and nodded. "Unfortunately so."

"I know those girls will pull this off, master, " she reassured him. "They've been cheating death more than once and have each other's back."

"I know they do, Ahsoka. It's just that if anything bad happened to them, you know how Obi-Wan and Vanya will react."

"Oh, yeah. I can imagine that right now in my head."

"You do realise we're both standing right beside you, right?" Lisa glared at Anakin and Ahsoka, her arms crossed. Ahsoka snicked as she rubbed the back of her white and blue montrals, baring her teeth slightly. "Sorry about that, gingerbread."

Eva let out a soft chuckle and covered her mouth, signing with her fingers. "Oh, they'll be in for a surprise."

"Can't wait to see the look on their poor faces, " Lira gestured back, giggling. Anakin raised one of his eyebrows at the twins, puzzled. What are those rascals up to now?

As they arrived at Point 4, they found themselves standing in the opposite direction of the huge Separatist Army. With an entire legion of B1 battle droids and Super Battle Droids, followed by a huge spider droid and tanks. "That's a whole load of them, " Rex exclaimed.

Commander Tori looked through his binoculars to searched for the tactical droid, in no avail. "I don't see the tactical droid."

Eva smiled as she stood up, taking a deep breath. Looking at her reflection in her compact mirror, she adjusted her blue ribbon on her hair and cleared her throat, lifting her head and straightened her posture. "Looks like it's showtime."

"I'll accompany you, Evie, " Lira spoke, holding her hand. "Just in case you get super nervous."

"I hope you girls know what you're doing, " Anakin's voice screeched. "It's too late to back out now."

"Just give'er, eh?" Tori placed her hand on Eva's shoulder. "We will, Tori. Just make sure to stand-by just in case things go wrong."

The pink-armoured commander gave a nod as she watched the sisters walking into a wide-opened field, hand-to-hand. Eva felt her heart pounding a little faster than usual as she squeezed Lira's hands tighter. I hope Obi-Wan's teachings paid off, she thought, glaring at the enormous armies. I can't disappoint him, or the Council.

Reaching to the other side of the field, Eva waves at one of the battle droids on the tank, giving them a warm smile. "Good morning, " she chirped. "How are you?"

The B1 battle droid scratched its metal head, glancing at each other. "Uh, we're fine, I guess, " it answered. "What are you doing out here?"

"Oh, that's good to hear, " she replied at their answer, raising both her hands in mid-air. "We're here to surrender."

The B1 tilted its head downwards, rubbing its thin neck. "And why would you want to do that?"

"Because we can't win against your army, " her eyebrows drooped downwards, shedding a few tears from her eyes. "Your droid army is much more superior compared to the clones so we've both decided to give ourselves in."

"So, what did you want us to do?" it asked, lifting its shoulders up. "Could you take us to your commander?"

The droids pondered for a few seconds before they gave a nod to the twins, lifting up the barb wires for the both of them. The girls smiled at each other as they followed them inside the enemy line, and were led to the olive-painted tactical droid.

"What is it now, Sarge?" the tactical droid glanced at the droid, speaking in a monotone voice. "The Jedi wished to surrender, sir."

The tactical droid froze as it stared at Eva and Lira, before shifting his focus towards his underlings. "This is highly irregular, " he told them. "I calculated that the Republic should be here by now and attack with the clone forces."

"I assure you that we want to give ourselves up to the Separatist, " Eva convinced, breaking into tears. "We were outnumbered by your great glorious voices and we can't stand to lose more lives to you."

"Are you being truthful right now?"

"My sister and I are terrible liars, " Lira told him, frowning. "We can't even tell a white lie, really. You can ask my friends if you don't believe me."

The tactical droid placed its fingers on his chin and looked up for a few moments, before giving a nod and invited the girls to sit down, facing him.

Eva gave a wide smile and placed both her elbows on the table, clasping her hands together. "What is it you want to discuss in these terms of surrender?"

"As your prisoner, we would like a fair treatment under the Separatist, along with the clones as well, " she told him.

"What else can you offer us?"

"We would also like to offer you all the intel we know about the Republic, " she gleamed, giving a quick glance at Anakin and Ahsoka's forces. "I know Count Dooku would want it so badly to win this war."

"It's a very tempting offer, " he pondered, uncertain whether he would want to give in so easily. The younger twin crossed her legs and smirked to herself. This is going pretty well just as planned, she thought, feeling her clammy palms. Maybe I should be more generous.

"As an agent of the Republic, I am extremely skilled in espionage missions," she continued to boast, hoping to win its trust. "While my sister can not only repair and fix droids, she can even build one out of scraps, like the hummingbird droid."

Lira opened her backpack and took out the hummingbird droid that she used moments ago. "That is impressive," he praised, as he held the tiny thing and studied its feature. "Could you demonstrate for me its function?"

She gave a nod of acknowledgement and let it hover around the droids with her controller. "This beauty can not only fly, but it can be useful as a spy droid, monitoring every transmission made by our enemy and collect data from them."

"That is really impressive, actually," the B1 droids chirped. "Roger, roger," they said in unison. The commander's gaze was fixed on the Jedi Knights for a while, unable to speak through its voice modulator.

"So," Lira broke the awkward silence between them. "Now could we surrender?"

"Yes," he agreed to her words. "But you must give up all your weapons to us first."

Eva and Lira gave a quick look at each other before taking off their lightsaber from their belt, slipping it on their table, along with their comlink. "You have our words, commander," Eva smiled, as she and her sister dropped on their knees and placed their hands behind them.

As the droids chained their hands together, Anakin slowly lifted the barb wires with the Force and allowed Ahsoka, Rex, Tori and the others to go through as quiet as a mouse. Tori raised her left hand as her men loaded their blasters and aimed at the droids, waiting for Lira's signal.

The tactical droid ordered the twins to stand up after being cuffed from behind, poking them in the back. Lira closed her eyes and connected herself through the Force, igniting her lightsaber. It lifted by itself from the table and flew through the commander's head, giving it a clean cut on the neck.

"Now!" Rex yelled, as his men fires at the droid army. Eva uncuffed herself with the Force and grabbed her lightsaber, deflecting their blaster fire. Sonic and Boom dashed towards the tank and shot down the pilots, taking control of it.

Fives and Echo took over the other tanks and fired at the droid army, crushing them into pieces. Cowboy lassoed one of the droids by its neck and yanked it with great force, tossing towards the others.

"Yara, get in position," Bungee told her, as he took a few steps backwards. She gave a nod and kneel on one leg, spreading her palms together. "You ready?"

Bungee bobbed his head and ran, stepping on Yara's both palms. She threw him up in the air, watching him take down the Super Battle Droids with his blasters. "Yippee ki yay, you motherf******," he cried, landing on the ground.

"Language," Tori scolded him, gesturing to Eva, Lira and Ahsoka. "We have kids here, Bungee."

Jesse and Hardcase cheered for him as they tackled a couple of droids with Steel taking them down with her fists. Anakin and Ahsoka stared at each other and nodded, as they sped towards the spider droid and sliced off its head with their lightsaber. Before it could blast towards the Republic army, Ahsoka jumped on it and stabbed its eye, deactivating them. "That was a close one," she sighed in relief, wiping her forehead.

The two tanks ran over the entire army while blasting them, clearing the way for Rex and Tori. "Eat that, you kriffing clankers," Fives laughed, as Echo looked at the periscope and take down as many droids as he can. "Oh, Hardcase is missing all the fun."

"Yeah, I agree," Echo answered. "I wonder what are the others up to?"

Tori jumped on the B1 and kicked its weapon out of his reach, shooting it. She turned around and noticed the Super Battle Droid pointed its blaster at her head, only to be shot down by Rex. "You alright there?" he gave his hands. Tori nodded and took his hands as she got up. "Thanks, Rexy."

"You're welcome, Princess. Now come on, we have to finish this mission."

She gave a nod as she and Rex leaned on each other's back and fired at the droids coming from left to right, leaving them into bits. As Minnie blasted the last ones, she exhaled and took off her helmet, scanning her surroundings for more enemies. Eva and Lira cheered and high-fived each other as Anakin's nose crinkled, his lips curved upwards.

"I have to say, girls, that was awesome!"

"Any doubts it would fail?" Eva winked. Ahsoka tilted her head sideways, lifting her shoulders. "Kind of."

"Hey!" Lira gave a light punch on her shoulder. "So, what do we do now?" Rex asked.

"Now, we rest," she told the captain. "Tomorrow, we'll be storming Point 3, with the tanks and the droids we've obtained."

"Sir, yes, sir," Tori saluted, as she followed the twins into the jungle.

The Librarians Periscope Live

Since I can’t watch UPtv because I live outside the US (not salty about that, not at all), I’ve watched the Live on Periscope that was supposed to be on Facebook, but Facebook was dead, so here’s what happened:

UPtv has given us a new home and said that if they get enough “love” they might do something for either a new movie or season 5

Dean had an ear piece to hear the questions and was playing FBI/CIA agent

First “on screen” was John Kim to “talk behind the girls’ backs” (they were all behind the cameras)

Dean would have loved to explore the Mayan Mythology in season 5 (and again said it still might happen)

John was asked if he thought that Ezekiel would have changed had he picked up the Apple of Discord in season 4 since he didn’t change in season 1, and he said absolutely no and Dean added that there’s a freaking reason why the answer is a big fat no and it’s in the special that they did so, hey, those of you who can watch UPtv will find out! (n.d.a. Not salty at all, really). Also he said that Ezekiel is always both the best and the worst version of himself, so really, no.

John said his fave memory is his first day because he knew nothing, where Portland was (”it’s west of New Hampshire, right?”), what he was supposed to do etc., but everyone was really welcoming

Dean said that the actors really helped shaped it all (the show) because they had lots of great ideas (like Lindy’s idea of having Cassandra smitten with Jenkins)

John was asked if Ezekiel kept any of the werewolf’s traits and he said that even though the “fetch the ball” scene with Christian at the end of the episode was hilarious, no, he’s just himself, “Ezekiel’s superpower is that he doesn’t know what he’s doing”

Here an alarm went off and, hilariously, it was the sound guy’s alarm

Here came Lindy “on screen”

MY SHIPPER SISTER WAS MENTIONED: they asked a @jenksel ‘s question (I’m so proud??) where she asked if Casskins was going anywhere and Lindy was all “Listen here, I AM THIS SHIP’S CAPTAIN AND IMMA GO DOWN WITH IT!” so she certainly hopes so, she loves the idea that the thing keeping them (Cassandra and Jenkins) apart was their mortality/immortality and when Jenkins became mortal “it was... maybe maybe maybe!” and Dean and John echoed her “Maybe maybe maybe” and she concluded with: “I would be interested!”

Question: “We know Flynn has a special bond with Excalibur, what would your character choose?” (As something to bond with) And both Lindy and Dean had to suggest Stumpy to John, and Lindy said that Cassandra bonded with no objects, but with her power.

Lindy started making fun of Dean for his ear piece

Q: “In an hypothetical s5, would Cassandra and Jenkins remember the stuff from s4 that was erased when they went back and flipped it?” Because, Dean explains, we know that Flynn remembers and we think that Baird remembers. Lindy said that Cassandra and Jenkins’ relationship is so special that maybe it was imprinted on their hearts ”If I can be super romantic about the entire thing, and I think that kind of thing never goes away, and so maybe, if the details of it had gotten away, they still would have had a sense of that” (n.d.a. Lindy is our ship’s captain through and through, gotta love her)

Q: John and Lindy, what was you fave scene together? They both went “The Minotaur scene” when they are inside the Labyrinth (n.d.a. I’m not crying, go away), John said that it was beautiful because up until this point we see Ezekiel not caring for anyone but himself, and here and throughout all the seasons we see how he has a soft spot for Cassandra and he opens up to her before, and then to the rest of the team (n.d.a. my Casekiel babiiiies), he loved shooting with Lindy because they felt really at ease with each other; and then the final scene of the Morgan episode where Ezekiel gives her the trophy

Q: What was your (Lindy) fave costume? Lindy loved this question. She loved many of her outfits, creating them as well, but if she has to pick one, it’s the Cindy’s episode costume, where she is really colourful, yellow skirt, striped shirt underneath, a blue vest, an extremely short tie and a lovely big bee brooch on it. She doesn’t know why, but this outfit just makes her happy.

Dean made fun of Christian before he came on screen “don’t know if you can hear it, but there was the sound of a motorbike and a horse running, so that tells me that Christian Kane is in the house”, Christian acted as if he was winded and didn’t know what was happening (he truly didn’t know it was a Periscope and not a Fb Live)

Q: What was your (Christian) fave myth? Was it in the show or not? Christian loved the Frankenstein thing, he was jealous of John Kim for this, he knows that Flynn has killed Dracula so that’s out of the table, but he would have loved more Frankenstein.

Question for Christian: Which series required more stunts? Leverage or The Librarians? Leverage. And Dean is still salty about the fact that Christian makes him hire stunts for him and then goes and does the stunts himself.

Question for Christian: did you have to watch The Librarian movies or did you just wing it? He said he was lucky because the role was written with him in mind, so no, he knows what Flynn did in the past, but he didn’t

Q: What was your fave interactions with the fans of the show? Christian likes that both 5yo kids and 100yo watch the show together and can both be fan. For John it was at the DragonCon because two girls went up to them (Christian was with him) dressed as Eve and Cassandra and he was like “I know those outfits”, they (the girls) told them they were Eve and Cassandra (Prince Charming Cassandra and a jumpsuit for Eve) and John couldn’t believe he hadn’t recognised them. For Lindy all the girls who thanked her via Instagram or Twitter for representing them, the “weird ones”, who said that Cassandra really meant something for them and that helped them through a difficult time. Lindy herself said she “was always a weirdo” never fitting anywhere, so it was really special, “for all of you ladies out there, hiiiiii” and waved.

Question for Christian: how did the character of Jacob help you evolve as an actor? He said that he was really lucky to work with amazing people (said all the cast’s names, but paused before John Kim’s name lol), and he said that Jacob was smarter than him, so he kinda had to get smarter.

Q: how was it to work with Rachel Nichols? They all said she was really nice.

Q: what was the funniest behind the scenes moment? They couldn’t really pick one, they loved playing UNO together, but turns out they gave a nickname to John Kim at 2 a.m. because John Kim is a really common name for korean actors and... they brainstormed. Lindy, laughing, said “and then he said he wanted a traditional Australian name!” and... they came up with Koala Newton John. They all agreed it would have been a hit

Q: would you (Dean) have liked to have an episode with all the villains together? Yes, Dean would have loved it, mainly because they all like the actors who played them, Christian was like “yeah, man, we can take ‘em, bring ‘em in!” and Dean “We got Baird, we can win anybody”

Rebecca arrived on screen

Question for Rebecca: what was your fave action and fave emotional scene? She loved the bar fight with Christian in the very first episode because they had played brother and sister in a previous show and had a fight together, so she liked that as the action scene. As the emotional scene she said Jenkins’ deathbed was tough, everyone chimed in saying it was so very emotional, but she added the scene in s4 where she is trying to make them remember The Library and she forgets it herself (in the alternate reality).

Q: we want to know everything that happened with those bunk beds from the summer camp episode. They said that there weren’t many funny outtakes, but that Ezekiel was bunking with Jacob and that Cassandra was under Eve’s bed. They had funny pj’s (”sleeping bonnet” for Lindy, alien pj’s for Ezekiel). But, on Rebecca’s Instagram there are pictures of them in bunk beds, it’s from the time loop episode. They said that maybe they liked bunk beds so much that they (the characters) sleep in bunk beds in The Library.

Dean said that the location for the time loop episode is an actual prison, never used before, but still a prison. John then said that, talking about emotional scenes, the one where Eve tells Ezekiel the WW2 story was really emotional, he didn’t want to know the story ‘till their close up and it worked well because he was genuinely tearing up when Rebecca/Eve told him for the first time during the shoot.

Question for Rebecca: fave memory from working on the show? Probably The Silver Screen episode because she likes that it’s not, as usual, Flynn explaining things to Eve, it’s Eve who knows this world and explains it to him. And then the fact that they (Rebecca and Noah) were really beautifully dressed as noir movies want and they (Lindy, Christian and John) showed up dressed up as anything but. They started laughing, John’s fond memories of Jab Jab, Christian was really embarassed because of his cowboy outfit so out of context with their beautiful world. Then everyone laughed because Dean brought up Christian’s yodeling in that episode.

Q: what was something you wanted to see your character doing/going that we didn’t get to do in s5? John likes that he (Ezekiel) was almost at the point of being responsible and he would have liked to shoot that. Lindy would have liked to know more about her past, her parents etc. She has so many ideas because we only got a glimpse of her goth phase in high school, she would have loved to have a particular actress as her mother (n.d.a. sorry guys, I didn’t catch her name, did you?) because she thinks she could portay the same energy Cassandra has, and Christian said he actually often visualise the same actress as his mother and thinks she’d be perfect. Rebecca would have loved to see an immortal Eve. Christian said that Jacob has found his family in s3, so he thinks he just wants to be like Eve, not in any romantic way, but he wants her to have to focus only on protecting Cassandra and Ezekiel, he wants to be able to fight at the same level, he wants to be great in a fight.

Dean reveals (to them as well) that he knew what the opening scene of s5 would have been: right back in the middle of the Tethering Ceremony with Nicole barging in and yelling “Stop! If you tether the world ends!” and end of teaser. He knows nothing after that, but he wanted to “screw everything up”

Q: if you had to do a body swapping episode, who would you like your character to body swap with? John, without a second of hesitation: “Baird.” And then “Aaaaaah, to kiss Noah Wyle” and everyone started laughing. Because he likes the idea of changing the Librarian-Guardian thing. Rebecca agrees that watching her as Ezekiel would have been fun. Lindy to Christian “Does that leave you and me?” Christian would be ecstatic to play Cassandra, he thinks he’d be great with his hands (for the visions), “I think I’d be fabolous!” and Lindy said she’s be impressive as Jacob because no one expects her to be able to fight, but she actually, in real life, is, Christian knows this and was “yes, she can throw a punch, I believe she knocked me back 3 feet”

Q: in tribute to John Larroquette who’s not here, your fave scene with John Larroquette. Lindy made a whining pained sound (she can’t choose one, “All of them!”). Dean: I think as a group, you all agree on his death scene. Everyone: yes. Dean: that was a rip-your-heart-out scene. But what about your one on one scene? Christian: the episode where Jenkins and Jacob had the talk after the stuff with Jake’s father. Christian went up to John (Larroquette) and told him, before they even knew about that episode, “<You have to understand something, man, you’re going to be my dad in this>, and I told John that, and you (Dean) before that episode with my dad, <I’m looking at you because I have nothing, you know what I mean? I don’t trust this guys (points at the others), so you- you’re the guy>” and it went exactly as he imagined it, and said that just getting to have a cup of coffe in the morning with John is amazing. Lindy: it was the entire episode she directed (Some Dude Named Jeff) because she says that what he gave her during that episode is so incredible. Her fave scene between him and Cassandra is “the vampire episode”. Christian: “At the very end?” Lindy: “No, no, at the beginning! Where she confesses her undying love to Jenkins! And asks him out on a date! And I just remember John (Larroquette) being so awkard about this and was like (tries to deepen her voice to speak like John) <Ooooh, nooo, I don’t think you would ever ask me out on a date!> and I was like, <Listen John, don’t tell me what I wouldn’t do>” and everyone laughs. She said that she likes their fight over mortality and immortality (same episode) and “he’s just a dream to work with” and stares dreamily into the void. John Kim says it’s when Ezekiel confronts Jenkins when he’s going away in the Apple of Discord. Dean said that his fave scene between John Larroquette and Rebecca was in the second episode, under the bridge, when he gives her the pep talk. Rebecca agrees, but also like the scene just before his death, when Eve has brought them all back and “he was there and gave me the biggest hug in the world”

Christian: “If I can speak for the panel, none of our tears (in the death scene) were acting, I was crying”. Everyone: yes. He (John Larroquette) was powerful.

Question: which episode was the funniest to film? Or which moment? Rebecca can’t pick, but said that the episode when they know they can work together, the four of them, without Flynn, the fairytale episode, they had lots of fun then, especially at Eve being mad for being a princess. Christian remembers going up to Rebecca: “as someone <that claims to know about stunts> I said <you’re in high heels, be careful with them> and she looked at me and she goes <Christian, there’s nothing I can’t do in high heels>” and everyone started laughing. Christian “and you know what? She’s absolutely right”

Question for John: can you actually pick a lock and have you ever stolen something? Yes, he can actually pick a lock, he learned, he can do it in under a minute. Christian “what did you steal that’s worth the most money?” Lindy at John “Nooooo! Do not admit to that!” Chaos ensued and Dean calmed them: “I’ll answer the question for him” then looks in the camera “A million hearts”.

Q: if there could only be one Librarian, who would make the best Librarian? Dean is sure this will start a fight. John: Ezekiel Jones. No questions, no hesitation. Everyone laughs. Lindy raises her hand and goes: “Guys, like, who else’s ever read a book? Who else could it be?!” Christian “I’ll be honest with you: it wouldn’t be Jacob Stone” and “sure as hell wouldn’t be Ezekiel” and “It would have been Cassandra. Because she thinks about things before jumping in and because she has the power of magic”

Dean thinks Captain Marvel stole the idea from them: the fact that Cassandra has powers, then gets rid of the brain grape and her powers go boom.

Lindy: “I actually think that not one of them can be The Librarian, even Flynn admitted it, after muuuuch discussion, that they are all better together.” Dean: 100% agrees with Lindy

Q: would any of you consider being a librarian as an alternative career? Rebecca volounteers at her kids’ library Lindy spends lots of time with children literacy causes, she wouldn’t be a librarian, “but the library is my happy place” Christian “I don’t wanna have to do with any card catalogue whatsoever!” (he’d only be a Librarian, capital L). John: nope, his fondest memory of a library is him behind other children scaring them.

Dean: can any of you actually use the card catalogue? John: NO. Rebecca and Lindy: yes, no problem. Christian: it’s the easiest thing in the world. Then to John “of course you can’t” And Christian Kane is an actual honorary librarian, because he made some publicity for the show and the NY Library gave him an honorary position.

Q: What do you think The Librarians have been doing since the last episode? Christian wants everybody to know that Jacob Stone has perfected and probably marketed his own line of beef jerky - everyone explodes in laughs - which is called Chupacabra. Lindy (n.d.a. who totally wanted to say “Jenkins”) says that Cassandra is probably re-organizing everything in The Library. John thinks Ezekiel is being lazy, sleeping in, getting bald.

Lindy directed an episode, John asked what she did for it and she said she normally just reads the script and thinks what would Cassandra wants, here she had to do it with all of them, mostly Jenkins. Christian said she was amazing, especially because it was her idea the opening scene (when they come into The Library, it’s shot all in one, no room for error, they are shouting news of the escaped animals at each other)

Dean asked: Did directing changed the way she acts? (Lindy) Not really, just made her want to be better.

Q: if you could use the Magic Door to take you anywhere in the world, where would you go? Lindy: can we travel in time? Rebecca: No, it’s not a time machine. Lindy: I kno- Rebecca: Do you even remember the show we were in? The thing escalated when they asked Dean if they could swap the magic doors for a time machine. Christian: magic door, same day, same time. Go. Lindy: Ok. Becca? Rebecca: ahm.......................... Christian: John Kim? They laugh. Rebecca: Come back to me! Dean: I’ll tell you where I would go! Rebecca: ok Dean: I would take all of you and we’d go through the Magic Door and we’d arrive at The Library. Everyone: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww!

And that’s it.

Now it’s almost 6 a.m. here and I want the extended episodes of The Librarians. No, I don’t need sleep, someone gives those episodes to me, please

Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’ Tour Documentary Is A Tribute To The Massive Joy Of Pop Concerts

CHLOE GILKE January 8, 2019

The best concert movie of all time doesn’t cut away to show the audience at all. Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme’s 1984 documentary about new wave legends Talking Heads, simply films the band onstage — no tricks, no complicated camera gymnastics. “Hi. I got a tape I want to play,” David Byrne tells the audience as he strolls out in his iconic giant suit. For 90 minutes, he and his band play to a silent crowd we never see onscreen. Stop Making Senseis praised by film nerds and music geeks alike for its singular ability to make you feel like you’re there at the show, capturing Byrne’s frenetic energy just as you’d witness it from a really, really good seat.

Stop Making Sense is a great movie, but it’s also a lonely movie. Watching a concert film with no crowd cutaways lets you see the whole performance without interruptions, I guess, but I buy tickets to concerts to get to dance in a room with people who love something as much as I do. The distraction of the crowd is the whole point. In the film, Byrne’s energy is rendered in full, but enjoying his performance without the feedback of the crowd feels deceitful.

Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour isn’t just full of incredible cutaways to the crowd. Swift’s Netflix special is a love letter to the audience at her shows, and to her fans in general. The special, filmed October 6 at Swift’s last US tour datein Arlington, Texas, is a masterful documentation of the magical energy at a pop show.

Swift didn’t come to my city for the Reputation tour — the closest show to me was the Arlington one, four hours away. Having just drained my concert funds following another pop artist around this summer, I couldn’t afford the cost of a ticket to Swift’s show. Since Arlington was the last stop of the US tour, some of Swift’s most devoted fans traveled from out of state (or out of country) to see her there, driving resale ticket prices sky high. And I certainly wasn’t the only Texan who wished to be there.

Not all fans can afford to go to shows, or live in cities where acts tour, but fans in the digital age have found ways to take care of each other and make sure that everyone can enjoy the thrill of a show. Through taking photographs (many of which are professional quality), taking videos of songs, and even streaming shows on Periscope (the biggest heroes of all), the lucky fans who are able to go to a performance share memories with their sisters who can’t make it. Phone cameras are so good now that the fan-shot videos often look like they’re professionally filmed, and the audio is good enough that you don’t feel like you missed too much by not being there.

youtube

Still, the fact that Swift decided to release a professionally shot film of her tour is incredible. With free reign over the whole AT&T Stadium, director Paul Dugdale is able to capture the massive scope of the production from every angle. For a lot of the show, he keeps a Stop Making Sense-esque medium close-up on Swift like the jumbo screens at concerts do, so you can see her facial expressions and watch the minutiae of her choreography. But sometimes he films from the tip-top nosebleeds of the stadium, making Swift and her dancers look like ants three stories below, and from the back of the floor, where Swift is dwarfed by the thousands of fans that stand in front of the camera. You could make the argument that the constant switching of POV is obtrusive, but if Dugdale just set up a camera right in front of the stage and let Swift dance in front of it, you wouldn’t get a full sense of how giant the stadium she’s playing in is.

There are plenty of neat visual tricks to satisfy fans who were at the shows, too. Each member of the audience had a light-up bracelet because Swift said she “wanted to make sure I could see every single one of you” from the stage, and Dugdale sweeps around the 50,000+ matching lights with a sick aerial shot, making the crowd look like a whole city. When Swift walks down the catwalk mid-show, it’s cool to see the camera trailing her from behind as she says hello and touches everyone’s hands. (If you’ve ever been on the catwalk at a show like this, your view is usually of the inside of someone else’s armpit.)

Because this is a professionally filmed concert special, the audio is crystal-clear and beautiful, with the crowd quieted down so viewers at home can hear Swift best. But during her B-stage performance of fan favorite “All Too Well,” even the best audio efforts can’t cut out how loud the fans were singing along. Swift, practiced and gracious in her stage banter, is genuinely moved by how much people seem to love the song that once was such a fresh wound. Swift marvels at how many people have lyrics to the song inked “underneath their skin,” and shares her thoughts on how other people’s interpretation and co-optation of the song has given it a new, less painful, meaning for her. “You turned this song into a collage of memories watching you scream the words to this song,” she says, before her voice is swallowed up by the crowd.

The end credits of the movie show Swift and her crew hugging it out backstage, cross-cut with fans wiping their melting glitter and mascara and walking through the emptying stadium, back to their cars and real life. The footage of Swift, an intimate backstage peek, appears onscreen next to young girls hugging one another, mothers pulling their children out of seats, friends saying goodbye until next tour. The people who filled these stadiums were just as much a part of the magic as the people who made the incredible stage production happen, and the concert film is a tribute to all the joy they experienced in those rooms. For the people who were there, I imagine it’s a beautiful rendering of those memories. For those of us who weren’t, it was a lovely way to experience the Reputationtour and see Swift perform without breaking the bank.

Because, however grand the spectacle of the Reputation tour was, the real spectacle was seeing 50,000 people who all love the same thing gathered in one place, loving that thing. Anybody can set a bunch of cameras up and film a performance, but it’s harder to capture the scope of a feeling and the energy of a room. Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour honors the sacred joy of her performance that night, and the people who made it happen.

If you have a Netflix account, check out the film here.

Uproxx

Suzy’s recording for KKG and playing Jackbox with Arin!! And live-streaming on twitter/periscope

She pointed the camera at Arin so they could get in the room and she was saying how beautiful Arin is and he got all shy aww

He also replied quietly, “That means a lot coming from the cutest girl in the world”, aww!!!

Then when they did show the room code, it filled up super fast and Arin said “of course”, and she asked if he tweeted it out and he said no, and at her being surprised that so many people are here, “a lot of people love you”

It was sweet 💜

Also Suzy used the nickname Morty (for Mortem3r) and Arin used the nickname “Suzy’s Boo”, “because that’s what I am, I’m your boo~” and they each said they love each other and I’m just

They’re so sweet and I love them

Fear and Loathing in FS thread or What’s Wrong with Eteri Tutberidze

Disclaimer by me: Sports.ru is a fan web resource full of very toxic people who move from love to hate very easily. They are ready to spend their nights on the site writing mess things about athletes. Why? I don’t know. This article is about disappearing Russian skaters and the faults of Tutberidze, written as reply on the article “What’s wrong with Medvedeva” and also as reply to all toxic haters in fs fandom. A lot of sarcasm here. Please, beware.

«Hate is easier than love. Hate can be explained.»

Prehistory. For those who joined fandom during the Olympics, and do not really understand what’s happening.

In the previous series:

ep.1. On the eve of the Olympics, the story of one cycle. Pre-Olympic seasons 2015-2017.

In the lead roles (titles and age as for May 2018):

Elizabeth «she smoked live on Periscope, ew!!!» Tuktamysheva, World Champion 2015, triple Axel, 21 years old.

Sports.ru hates her for «disgusting programs» , «extra weight» and laziness.

Elena «fat cheeks, left Goncharenko (her coach), ew!» Radionova, 2-times junior world champion, holder of the badge of CSKA school, 19 years old.

video

Sports.ru hates her for her lifestyle and her «mushroomed» CSKA. [Mushrooms (Russian fs slang) – high PC scores. To get mushrooms – to have high PC’s scores.]

Anna «unstable and injured, ew!» Pogorilaya, bronze medalist of the World Cup 2016, skater with the most unusual programs and stunning looks, 20 years old.

video

Sports.ru hates her less now because she doesn’t skate.

Adelina Sotnikova — episodic role, the Olympic gold of Sochi.

video

(she had such jumps, oh).

She is hated on Sports.ru for everything.

Maria «woman-underotation» Sotskova.

video

Well, obviously, it's hard to hate a person you do not remember.

Team «Tutberidze’s monsters»

Evgenia «LICEMERIC MEAN SHIT» Medvedeva, 18 years old. The winner of everything in the seasons of 2016-2017.

Polina «totally injured» Tsurskaya, 16, owner of the most beautiful « hunged» jumps and talent, yet unrealized.

Alina Zagitova, 15 years old. Olympic champion 2018 had not yet annoy anyone in her first season at the adult, so no nicknames on Sports.ru.

Team «former Tutberidze‘s monsters» + episodic male roles:

Yulia «she leaved Tutberidze because she was lazy and fat» Lipnitskaya. The one «in a red coat» who «beautifully put her leg up».

Adyan «lazy! (not fat because he’s not a girl)» Pitkeev, the former hope of the dead now men's figure skating.

Sergei Voronov, episodic role.

Team «very former Tutberidze‘s monsters»

Polina Shelepen’ was «lazy and ungrateful» along before it became mainstream, oh, wait, I mean, before Medvedeva, Lipnitskaya and Tsurskaya. The first student of Tutberidze, who stepped at a high level.

video

(it turns out, she was a swan before the mainstream too!)

Brief content of the 1st episode:

Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova opens the beauty salon, visits talk-shows, posts in Instagram — in short, goes into the shadows, but sits in the care of the federation. Olympic champion Yulia Lipnitskaya does not cope with eating problems (not confirmed) and injuries (confirmed). After leaving Tutberidze's group (accompanied by scandals), Yulia tries to pursue a career, but the Rostelecom drama and the flow of dirt on Sports.ru come to see her soon.

To replace the champion here comes Liza Tuktamysheva and her triple axel (the same one, for whose performance Mirai Nagasu will become the hero of the US, despite the modest final place), but a year later the axel leaves, and together with him Liza leaves too. Well, she is still here, but there is no chance for her at all.

On the place of leader comes 15-year-old Evgenia Medvedeva, who dominates everywhere for next two seasons. A new world record holder, which guarantees the talented Russian team what it lacks – the stability.

At the pick up Zhenya has Lena Radionova and Anya Pogorilaya, who leave at the end of the episode right before the Olympics. Lena — because of coach changes and sharp growth, Anya .... Anya is a theme for a single episode.

Quintessence of the state of the Russian women's team in 2016-17: World Cup 2017, where the fate of the Olympic tickets was determined. The hellish fight at the Russian Nationals and ... the deafening failure of the 2/3 team at the decisive moment. Medvedeva and her iron nerves pull out 3 tickets for the Olympics. «School Tutberidze» , they say. «Iron nerves» , they say.

youtube

Only one problem, «evil, dirty» tongues whisper quietly behind their back that Tutberidze can not coach adults. If Zhenya will have a hard puberty, her career will be finished: talented Yulia Lipnitskaya left after the Olympics. ET has no students who perform reaching the age of 18 years. The coach is credited with the hellish methods of weight loss (which cannot be sustained after puberty) and indifference to injuries. As confirmation — the trauma of the Main Tutberidze’s Monster, «indestructible» Medvedeva. But Zhenya goes to the starts. Behind her back — the whole team. Problems? First, not everyone agrees with the PC — this is a clear premium from the Federation for stability. Secondly, lutz. A clear technical problem.

At this time, a girl named Alina Zagitova wins the junior world championship. Tutberidze took her in group recently. She’s still in the shade.

ep.2. During the Olympics (All of you has watched this episode)

Prologue: Medvedeva's speech in Lausanne at the IOC meeting, where the issue of Russian team’s admission to the Olympics was decided. Zhukov's gratitude for Medvedeva and her knowledge of the language.

Main action: Olympics. Drama. Technical superiority of the younger rival. The unofficial prohibition of Tutberidze to call «stepdaughter» Zagitova Olympic champion. A stream of mud in the comments: The Sports.ru's troops, of course, begin to protect the defenseless and disadvantaged minors, watering the aging old generation with mud.

ep. 3. After the ball (You are here).

Starring:

«Supernew monsters of Tutberidze»

Alexandra Trusova. 13 years old, 148 cm, quads in official competitions.

Alena Kostornaya. 14 years, 146 cm, triple axel.

Anna Shcherbakova. Broken leg, but now jumps everything, including quad lutz, hello, Misha Kolyada.

«We were in the shadows, but we are also monsters of Tutberidze»

Darya Panenkova. 15 years old, the only one who passed puberty, but not very «danceable, according to the coaches themselves.

Anastasia Tarakanova. 13 years old, according to rumors all the same dropped out of struggle due to injury.

Evgenia Medvedeva as the main villain.

In this episode: Supernew Monsters of Tutberidze «stamp» the quads in Instagram. Zagitova is in the shadows.

Evgenia Medvedeva after months of rumors leaves the coach. The coach shows on the air of national channel a private conversation in Viber and pretends that she learned about the transition only from news. Medvedeva leaves for Orser, perhaps the world's most famous coach, who just has a free places in group.

There is a lot of gossip and mud: they say, the coach from the group of Tutberidze himself says that the quads of the Supernews will leave soon; someone gloats.

A photo appears where Eteri hugs Zagitova like a mother. From this day Alina can be called the Olympic champion. Now, Alina is the New Hrustalnaya Daughter.

[Hrustalnaya means Crystal; Tutberidze’s rink is called Hrustalniy.]

The main part. What’s Wrong with Eteri Tutberidze?

Before the beginning:

Eteri Tutberidze is an excellent coach. Yes, she does not have athletes over 18 years old. But the successes of Lipnitskaya (in her few seasons on senior) and Medvedeva (under 18 years) cause respect. Yes, the junior coach. But the sport is changing, and Eteri enjoys this very well.

But with all due respect, here are the tense moments collected in one post.

1) The methods of training are clearly not designed for long-term athletes.

About nutrition of Lipnitskaya:

When she needs to lose weight, she eats only powder «Squid» — it's fiber, which gives energy. It's hard, and the weight goes down very slowly — 100 grams a day. But she copes, thank God.

via

It's not very surprising that Yulia started having weight problems, right?

Of course, it's much easier not to put the girls on the weigher during puberty, not to take food from them, not to force running crosses... Of course, the child is hurt, and he very often seeks whom to complain. Not everyone understands that if the coach screams at you, it means that he loves you.

via

Athletes of Tutberidze have usually very small height and weight (Medvedeva is 159 cm and 41 kg according to Tatler). It is purely physiologically impossible for 18 years. She’s even smaller than her mother. And by the way, screams mean love?

2) Medvedeva — not the first one who left Tutberidze like this.

Lipnitskaya and Medvedeva left without saying goodbye. It's not polite. But, whatever one may say, this is an indicator of fear and a general atmosphere in group. Why does Eteri say that all her leaving athletes are beasts? Why along with Medvedeva Tsurskaya left, which in another version may become the second number in the strongest group of the country? Why Shelepen’ left the same way? Are they all «ill-mannered, lazy and ungrateful» , while Eteri is one there who’s the right?

If the young girls were not afraid to go to the Olympics, why did the fear to write to the coach turned out to be more of a fear to go out in front of millions of spectators and give out a skate of the life? Perhaps the famous methods in the style of «wagging on the ice» had the opposite effect, when the athletes become more mature. Adulthood inevitably leads to the appearing of critical thinking.

And by the way, is it possible to speak so loudly about love and family relations, when...

3) Unethical statements about the left (and even not yet time to leave) athletes.

…when after you talk about them in bad manner, giving wvwryone all the small details of the leave? Why do we know everything about the leaving of athletes? Is it necessary for public? What is this for? Eteri has no one to share, and a strong woman does not want to cry near the window alone?

Adyan Pitkeev.

Before leaving:

He is always focused on himself. The presence or absence of several practice mates does not reflects on him. There is such a type of athletes.

After leaving:

At that time, several guys were riding at the same level, but the coaching staff had to prove their love to him on a daily basis. He had sincere tears when he thought he was not needed. The guy ran away, threw the skates into the garbage can. Of course, he didn’t want to leave skating. But he wanted someone to get these skates out of the can, wipe it, bring it back to the locker room and say to him "Adyan, come back.”

He shouted on trainings: “Withdraw me, I do not want to go there as a tourist.” How is it to «withdraw» ? Why «tourist»? Before this European Championship there was a chic Russian Championship. Why does he suddenly start acting like this? We persuaded him with love very long. But in the end we literally forced him to go on the championship.

Polina Tsurskaya.

Eteri says the one of the most talented female athletes had a bad season because of the rare genetic disease.

The mother of Polina denies.

A year later, Polina leaves the coach. She says that she doesn’t know for who she’s going. Clearly cunning.

Yulia Lipnitskaya.

all about her leaving

The main reason for the transfer according to Tutberidze's version:

Yulia is very driven. She does everything her mother says her to do.

Zhenya Medvedeva.

Well, you know. Publishing of the private chat, loud complaints for the fun of the public.

The full list of athletes who «for some reason» do not greet Eteri — here.

You know, when people constantly leave that way, even those whom she calls «her children» (Shelepen’, Medvedeva, Lipnitskaya), are you either a very naive person or a very complicated person? And not all coaches of the group share the negative attitude of Eteri to the «defectors» :

I can say only one thing: every person chooses his own destiny. If Evgenia decided this, then it remains to hope that she will succeed. I have known her since childhood, I accept her any decision. Is it wrong or not — time will show.

via the choreographer of the group, Zheleznyakov.

Is it possible to blame a person for leaving without saying goodbye the place where people are called pets? Yes, sure, it is. Do we know all the details of the conflict? No, we don’t.

4) Pay attention to the recurrence of the scenario:

From Medvedeva's sincere faith that «we just need to work harder and to not eat» to the beautiful Alina’s phrase:

Talking about puberty, when you become fat, it seems to me, that this is all fiction. You just need to close your mouth and not eat! Or, at least, eat a little. I eat, but in small quantities.

via

It’s impossible not to grow up ever. In modern Russian (and world) sports, only Medvedev succeeded. Well, Tursynbayeva and Miyahara too, perhaps. Where is the guarantee that Tutberidze's school will release an adult athlete into life?

5) Choreography.

Daniil Gleichengauz is a wonderful young specialist. The Tutberidze’s group has excellent specialists, but… There are some questions to the choreography.

1) Why did Medvedeva really has the same program every year? It's not she herself who made herself the program with her mouth open.

2) Why do the students of Hrustalniy have such, um, strange topics in their skate? Escape from an asylum for 15-years girl?

Coming out of a coma for Medvedeva? Red lipstick of Panenkova — it's absolutely something weird that will appear in nightmares of fs fans all their life.

In total. The main questions we have to this whole situation.

1) Could Medvedeva progress further in the Tutberidze group? Is her leaving the reasonable step? Was it necessary to wait for another brilliant program in the same style with same elements?

Obviously not. Leaving is a great solution. Was situation ugly? It was. But why we are on the side of coach? Why the fact that the change of coach is an absolutely casual story for figure skating takes the second plan? Radionova left Goncharenko. Gubanova left Turenko. Sotskova and Tarakanova left Panova. All these coaches didn’t throw the skates in the backs of leaving athletes.

The difference is that all that people left because of a lack of ice or PC. And here? Why did Tsurskaya leave? Yes, silent leaving is terribly ugly. But why does everyone leave from Tutberidze without saying goodbye? How did it happen that this talented coach this season will have only adult women? Why all this people are so ungrateful? Is the spreading of information about the leave of each athlete ethical?

2) Why is there such a hype around the phrase «keep Alina one season in juniors» ? Medvedeva should refuse to translate for Zagitova at press-conferences? Where is the line between «hypocrisy» and professional ethics? Is it possible to judge a person for emotions?

3) Yes, the comments of Tarasova and others were incorrect. But what does Medvedeva have to do with it? Why is it so fashionable to hate winners, especially on Sports.ru? Why everyone here is hated?

And the very main question.

Why do we not appreciate our athletes, knowing well that between 10 talented at a high level will hold 1-2? Of the talented list of Sotnikova, Tuktamysheva, Lipnitskaya, Proklova, Sakhanovich, Pogorilaya, Radionova, Medvedeva, only one potential revealed her potentional. And God forbid it will open further. We do not have many of them.

For the next season, Zagitova, Gubanova, Konstantinova, Panenkova remain competitive, not injured and inclined to struggle. The oldest (and hated by public) of them is 17 years old. The rest are 15 and 16. Our list of hopes: Shcherbakova, Trusova, Kostornaya, Tarusina, Panova's school. Changes in the rating rules from the next season will somewhat «skew» the advantage of the Russian school — jumping in the second half and technical complexity. It will become more difficult.

«Tutberidze’s conveyor» is an ambiguous phenomenon, but it deserves respect. In any hero there is a hint of villain. In any villain there is something human. This is about both sides of the conflict.

But in the argument «girls should be grateful to Tutberidze for who they are» there is one significant omission — Eteri should also be grateful to those who worked for her name. And we too should be grateful if we demand moral superiority over the mortals from the athletes.

And nationalism and general hatred against athletes is bad.

Please, think about it.

CR: ~VE~ Chapter 20

The syringe shatters when it hits the pier.

“That’s...”

I walk towards the source of the noise. In the shadow of the submarine stands Nemo, and in his arms--

“Pauline!”

I run towards them before I can fully comprehend what happened.

“What happened?!”

Nemo is gently petting her hair, murmuring something. When he finally registers my presence, he turns his head towards me so slowly that it looks unnatural.

I take a deep breath, then repeat: “What happened?”

Nemo’s expression is blank for a few seconds, then he slowly, forcefully smiles.

“I suppooooose it was wise of you to keep an eye on me.... ‘Doll’."

He gingerly lays Pauline down on the pier, taking a moment to brush a few stray hairs away from her face.

“I’ll leave the good Professor to you, then... it’s time for me to leave.”

“No.”

He looks a little surprised at my defiance, but I’m certain of one thing: this is an act.

I take a step towards him, my face firm. “Nemo, I want you to tell me what happened.”

Nemo sighs and puts a hand on his hip. “I doubt you’d understand, little doll, but I’ll humor you... and keep it as simple as possible.”

The corner of his mouth twitches when he sees that I have no reaction to his cruel nickname for me. I stay silent, waiting for him to speak.

“I’m keeping my promise to her. I’m making her happy, the only way I can.”

I furrow my eyebrows and wait for him to continue. He doesn’t.

“That makes no sense. You saw how happy she was on the Harper! What kind of happiness could she possibly get by the man she loves leaving her?”

Nemo sways for a moment, then grimaces. “W-What would something like yooooooou know? A heartless homunculus who doesn’t even understand looooove?!”

He waits for me to have a reaction, but my stare is even.

“Every time you call me ‘doll’ or ‘homunculus’, you’re telling me that this isn’t how you actually feel. The real Nemo would never be so unscientific.”

I see the whites of his eyes behind his goggles. He curls his lips back as he takes a threatening step towards me. “How daaaaaaaaaaare--”

I interrupt him. “You told me earlier that hypotheses can change based on new evidence. What kind of scientist would turn his back on that evidence? Nemo... tell me how you really feel. What you’re really trying to accomplish, because I know that this isn’t you!”

Nemo throws his head back and shrieks in frustration, covering his face with his hands. He staggers backwards and balances himself on the Harper, his entire body shaking. I take this opportunity to run over to Pauline.

As I suspected, she’s sleeping soundly.

“Ehehe...”

I turn around to look at Nemo. He’s still holding his face, but I can see his delirious smile.

“Ha... hahaa... haaaahahahahaaaaAAHAHAHAHA!!!”

I’m rooted to the spot, unsure of whether I should go get help or if I should continue to try to reason with him.

I’m starting to think that Impey would be better at this when Nemo speaks:

“Don’t you remeeeeeember, Car~di~a~chan? Don’t you remember what Aleeeiiister saaaaid? My very exiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiistence is a pile of lieeeeeeeeeeees!”

I do remember that. I had thought that it was throwaway commentary at the time, but clearly Aleister had known everything that Nemo was hiding behind his ridiculous facade.

“HOW-E-VEEEER!” Nemo points a finger at me. “I would never, NEVER lie about scieeeeeeence. ... I’ll give you that one... Cardia-chaaan...”

He lowers his hand and looks past me, down at Pauline.

“And I would never, ever lie.... about my love for my professor.”

He then turns around and scrambles onto the Harper, frantically opening the hatch and leaping inside.

“No!” I run towards the submarine, but it begins to shift before I can get close enough to hold on.

“Impey...”

I take another look at Pauline before I begin to sprint back towards the barracks.

-----

The rocking of the water only comforts Nemo a touch as he begins driving the Harper out to sea. He’s focused on the expanse ahead of him, ready for it to swallow him whole.

Everything is muted below the surface- color is drowned, sound is nothing but a mournful cry and a distant echo, and movement is deadened by resistance.

Yes, this serenity is what he needs in his life now. A solitude to dull the ache of reality. A place where no one can--

BANG!

Nemo looks around, raising an eyebrow. “Hrrmm~?”

Where was he? Oh, right. A solitude to completely envelop him and--

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Nemo frowns. There is most definitely someone or something on top of the Harper. He quickly pulls the periscope to his height and peers into it, rotating it until it lands squarely on the orange fabric covering Impey Barbicane’s posterior.

For once, Nemo is at a loss for words, and all he can do is watch as his eternal rival crawls along the top of his submarine and begins to... slide down the front.

“HEY!!!”

Nemo doesn’t want to turn around, but he does... very slowly...

Impey Barbicane is upside-down, staring angrily through one of the large portholes as he hangs onto it like a deranged orangutan.

“Nemo! Turn this submarine around, I mean it!”

Nemo walks up and peers through the porthole, examining his precariously hanging friend.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” Impey continues to pound on the porthole.

Nemo idly glances at the mechanisms on his bridge and taps his finger against his chin.

“Engines, standby~” he muses. “Prepare to dive~”

“NEMO I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU MAKE THIS THING DIVE I WILL HOLD A MAGNET TO YOUR FACE!”

Nemo furrows his eyebrows and points to his face. “GOLD HAS NOOOOO MAGNETIC ATTRACTION YOU NITWIT!”

“Yeah, well congratulations, because this nitwit is your so-called eternal rival, remember?!”

Nemo takes a step back from the porthole and inhales before focusing his intense stare at Impey.

“Swim away, Impeeeey Barbicaaaane...” Nemo’s voice is dark. “Swim away like a good little fish or you will be dragged doooooooown!”

“Fine! Time for me to show you what this genius engineer is really made of!” Impey grunts and scuttles around before beginning to climb back up to the roof.

Nemo hopes against hope that his friend is smart enough to dive into the water and make it back to shore. No, he’s plenty smart... at this point it has to do with sheer stubbornness.

And stubbornness is something that Impey Barbicane has plenty of, because he’s stubbornly opening up the hatch!

“I-- IMPEY BARBICAAAAAAAAAAANE!!”

“Move, I’m coming in!”

Nemo presses himself against the console, watching in horror as the hatch opens up under Impey’s incredible strength. He leaps down and looks at the scientist with narrow eyes so bright that Nemo’s afraid he will be burned.

“Mind explaining what you’re doing, Nemo?” asks Impey.

Nemo crosses his arms and smiles. “Exaaaaaaaaaaactly what it looks like, Impeeey Barbicane! I’m taking the Harper out to seaaaaaaaaa!”

“You know this thing can’t be manned by just one person!” Impey raises his voice.

Nemo shrugs his shoulders. “I don’t seem to have any trouble soooo far... buuuut, if you’re offering to join me on my voyage, I would be happy to accept~!”

“Tch, I don’t plan on joining any coward running away!” Impey snaps. “And that’s just what you’re doing, Nemo. You’re running away because you’re afraid to fall in love again!”

“HAAAAAAAA----HAHAHA!”

Impey jumps back when Nemo suddenly bursts out laughing.

“Is-- is thaaaaaaaaaat what it looks like, Impey Barbicaaaaaaaaaane?!” Nemo’s entire body is shaking from the force of his laughter. “It’s too late for thaaaat!”

He shakes his head, his face suddenly turning serious. “I took that shot of pain back when we escaped Buckingham.”

“Then why are you running? Nemo, do you know how hard Polly-chan is going to cry when she realizes that you’re gone?! I can’t stand men who would make a girl cry like that!”

“I knoooow... I know she’ll cry,” says Nemo. “But she’s having a few tears now instead of a lifetime of isolation.”

Impey raises his eyebrows. “What... what are you talking about?” He turns around as Nemo walks past him, through the bunks and into the salon. “Hey, I’m not done talking yet! Nemo!”

When Impey reaches the salon, he sees Nemo standing in front of a map of the world that he’s pinned to one of the bookcases. He reaches up and traces his fingers over Asia, finally to that beautiful country that he can never see again.

“My home doesn’t exist anymore, Impey Barbicane,” his voice is pained. “It’s still on the map there, see? But it’s... it’s not the same. Colonization has destroyed that land, and its people are eternally suffering under that damned Empire’s heel!”

He leans his head forward and rests it against the map. “But there are other ways to lose your home.”

Nemo reaches up with his other hand and drags it across Europe until it hovers over France.

“What do you think becoming an enemy of the Empire would do to you, Impey Barbicane? Becoming a willing accomplice of the man who lorded over the skies in a chariot of metal-- Impey Baaarbicaaaane, do you think she would ever be able to go back home?!”

Impey can only watch as Nemo digs his fingertips into the map and rips through France, shreds of the paper falling to the floor.

“What’s worse than your home being destroyed--?! Only thiiiiiis--!! Having your home turn its back on yoooooou! That rejection--- I could never wish it on heeerrr!!”

Nemo leans back before slamming his head into the bookcase, a pitiful moan rising from his throat.

“If I leave-- if she believes I’ve taken her dream and left-- then she can still go hoooooooome! She can go back to her family, to the friends that are still living---!”

His moan turns into a hysterical sob.

“If oooonly she didn’t feel the same way as I did--! If only she failed the experiment, if only-- if only she rejected meeee! Then, none of this would have happened! I wouldn’t-- I wouldn’t want to spare her this lonely faaaaaaaaate!!”

Nemo sinks to the floor and clutches his head in his hands, trembling.

Impey looks at his friend, his “rival” collapsed on the floor. He sighs and shakes his head.

“Have you tried talking to her about it...?” he asks, his voice gentle. “I mean, look, I know I’m not the greatest example-- I clam up when I even think about talking to my angel about my real feelings, but... man, you’ve gotta talk to her. Tell her what you’re afraid of. Be honest with her, you know?”

Nemo just hugs himself tighter, sobbing louder.

“I’m putting the Harper back in port,” says Impey. “If you’re intent on making Polly-chan cry, then you’re going to have to be there to see it. But, if you talk to her... Nemo, I really think you might have found something special.”

Nemo hiccups and slowly looks up at Impey from the floor.

“Sometimes, what people call ‘home’ isn’t a place. We’ve both lost our home, you know? But, Nemo, my new home is Cardia-chan, Saint-chan, Lupin, Fran, the others... and you. Never would’ve thought this when we first met, but you’re part of my home now. And I hope that you’ll let all of us be part of your home, too.

Impey rubs the back of his head and laughs. “I mean, you kind of don’t have a choice at this point. You’ve put us through so much-- so you’re stuck with us, right? Okay, then... let’s go ‘home’, Nemo.”

Impey extends his hand to Nemo, and Nemo stares at it for a long time.

Finally, he reaches out to Impey, and Impey helps him stand back up. Then the scientist leans on the engineer, and they hobble to the bridge to send the Harper back home.

Can you get French immersion through French social media? Of course you can! In fact, using social media such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in French. Think about it this way: Cost of a round-trip ticket between New York and Paris by plane? $500-$2000. Cost to open your favourite browser and click on YouTube? $0. Granted, you have to pay your Internet subscription or buy a coffee to use the wi-fi at a local café. If your goal is to learn French, you can either spend all your money on a plane ticket and hope for the best, or save your money and start right now. With social media, it has never been easier to create an immersion environment at home. I’m not talking about passive learning here. No, I’m talking about serious active learning and engaging with online communities in French. By taking part in French social media, you can: Take part in French conversations with Facebook comments. Make connections with French people all over the world on Twitter. Share French videos on Snapchat to practise your speaking skills. Tag your French-speaking friends on Instagram and speak French in the comments. Comment on the lives of French native speakers and ask direct questions with Periscope. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best French YouTube channels, French Facebook Pages, and French accounts on Snapchat, Twitter and Periscope. Plus more! I recommend you start your French immersion on your favourite social network. No need to overwhelm yourself by trying to use them all at once. Keep in mind that the French social media accounts I’m sharing here are only the tip of the iceberg. As you start digging into French online communities, you will discover more and more resources, and your learning experience will become more and more enjoyable! French YouTube Channels [caption id="attachment_20620" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Les Tutos is a funny French YouTube channel.[/caption] Why pay for Netflix or download illegally when you have access to hours and hours of French video content on YouTube for FREE? To me, YouTube is probably one of the best places online to get immersed in a foreign language without breaking the bank. Get started with these three popular French YouTube channels, all of which have the option of French subtitles on at least some of their videos. And if you are a very beginner, I included two other options. You can start learning with these two and then go back to the French YouTubers. Natoo Natoo is a French woman who started on YouTube in 2011. She makes skits and comedy vlogs about common situations from everyday life. For example, she made a video named [La recherche des clés](https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=x8vyGHWRXyo) (in English: Looking for keys). Her channel has French and English subtitles on almost all her videos. SolangeTeParle Solange talks about culture, girl problems and depression among a lot of other things. She called herself a poétubeuse: a mix between poète (in English: poet) and YouTubeuse (feminine for YouTuber in French). She went viral with her video about the differences between French from France and from Quebec in 2015. Some of her videos have French subtitles. Les Tutos This is probably one of my favourite YouTube channels ever. Jérôme makes tutorial videos (tutos is a French short word for tutorials). But you have never seen something quite like this. He uses absurd humour, high energy and exaggeration. You can even cook with les tutos, for example with this recipe for crepes. This channel was first a mini TV show that ran on French television in 2013/14. Nowadays, there are new videos once or twice per year. But don’t worry, there are around 50 videos already uploaded. They are ideal for people who have an intermediate to advanced level of French. The good news is that most of his videos have French and English subtitles. Easy Languages Easy Languages interviews native speakers in the street. You get access to raw content with French and English subtitles. This is one of the best options to start learning French. They also have simple and easy-to-understand videos to teach you the basics. Take a look at the different playlists to find the ones you like most. Disney Songs in French Another option for beginners is to start with Disney songs. You probably have already heard most of them in your mother tongue. This playlist has more than 40 Disney songs in French with French subtitles. Choose a song, listen to it several times and start repeating what you hear. Little by little you will improve your listening and pronunciation skills while learning vocabulary with the subtitles. The Insider Trick for Finding More French Videos on YouTube Now that you know a few French YouTube channels, you can easily find an infinite number of other channels in French. How? Well, I’m glad you asked. Go to the About page of any of the channels I mentioned above. On the right, you will see a list of featured channels. These are channels recommended by the YouTuber. Et voilà ! Now you have access to even more French YouTube channels. French Facebook Pages After reading this section, you will be able to watch funny videos and learn more about French pop culture at the same time. Now that’s how to make the most of your time on Facebook. Say goodbye to cat videos! [caption id="attachment_20621" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Les Lapins Crétins are the French version of Raving Rabbids - and they have their own Facebook page.[/caption] Fallait pas le dire This Facebook page, whose name loosely translates as “you didn’t have to say it”, features questions and thoughts about everyday life and random facts. This way you will learn common words you can use on a regular basis. Les Lapins Crétins Les Lapins Crétins are the French version of Raving Rabbids. Lapin is French for rabbit and crétin is an informal word for stupid. On their Facebook page, you will find short phrases with funny pictures or short videos to illustrate them. Quotidien avec Yann Barthès Yann Barthès became famous in France with his entertaining news show Le Petit Journal (“The little newspaper”). It featured skits and videos making fun of politicians and French society. A few years later, Yann left Le Petit Journal and created a new show, Quotidien (“daily”) on another television station. The concept is the same and on the Facebook page of Quotidien you will discover funny snippets from the show. Random fact: Le Petit Journal team made a banner with the name Cassoulet (a French recipe) and displayed it on Times Square when Obama was first elected. Eric et Quentin Eric et Quentin are two French comedians. They became very popular when they were at Le Petit Journal, but also followed Yann Barthès when he left. Now with Quotidien, they keep doing what made them famous: funny skits during the show. Nowadays, they also make very short videos (like Snapchat stories) called La Story d’Eric et Quentin where they make fun of the news. Martin Weill Martin also was part of Le Petit Journal and then went to Quotidien. He is a young reporter who became famous for going to places like Iraq or dangerous neighbourhoods in Mexico. Rémi Gaillard Rémi is the most famous French prankster. He made videos of himself recreating Mario Kart in real life, playing soccer in the street to annoy cops and even organising a party in a store. You can find his pranks on his Facebook page - and they come with English subtitles. French Twitter Users If you are an absolute beginner at French, I recommend that you start with the first two accounts in the list below (Thomas Pesquet and Cyprien). The other Twitter accounts aren’t as easy to understand. But once you’ve reached an intermediate level, go back to these pages, follow them and get ready to laugh! Thomas Pesquet Thomas is a French astronaut. From November 2016 to May 2017, he is part of the International Space Station as a crew member. On his Twitter account, you follow his journey in space. If you’re a beginner, this page is perfect to start your immersion experience on Twitter as Thomas translates his French tweets into English. Cyprien Cyprien is one of the most popular French YouTubers. On Twitter, he communicates with his audience and shows his everyday life with tweets and pictures. Nain Portekoi Nain Portekoi is a Twitter account that features black humour. He makes fun of the news and politicians with satirical comments. His name can be read as n’importe quoi, which means ”anything” or ”nonsense” in English. Jean-Moundir Jean is another satirical Twitter user. He makes fun of politicians and invents jokes with random pictures. Sam Sam often talks about French grammar with humour. But most of all she retweets lots of funny posts from various accounts. You will be able to see French humour in action from a lot of different people.

Disney+ UK Star Launch: Complete List of New TV Shows and Films

https://ift.tt/2P7STsN

We came for The Mandalorian, stuck around for WandaVision, and, as we wait for The Falcon and Winter Soldier and Loki to arrive, there’s now a huge pile of new catalogue additions to work through, courtesy of Disney Plus’ Star brand.

Star launched on the Disney Plus streaming service in territories outside of the US (where Disney already has a home for adult drama in Hulu) on the 23rd of February. It’s added over 75 TV shows and 280 feature films here in the UK, including the entirety of Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Glee, Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy and Scrubs as well as cult favourites Firefly, Flashforward, Terriers and more. There are also some UK debuts in the form of the Star Originals listed below.

Film-wise, there’s ample reason to go back to the 90s in the form of Arachnophobia, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Con Air and a host of others, plus…well, it’s almost 300 films. Chances are you’ll find something to tickle your fancy. Households with kids should know there are new parental controls to set too, ensuring that nobody gets any unwelcome surprises.

Here’s the complete list of titles so far:

Star Originals

Big Sky

From Mr TV himself, David E. Kelley (Doogie Howser, Chicago Hope, Ally Mcbeal, Big Little Lies) comes a nine-part crime thriller starring Ryan Philippe and Vikings‘ Katheryn Winnick. Based on the 2013 novel The Highway by C.J. Box, Big Sky is the story of a series of missing girls and a private detective/cop trio with a messy personal history who team up to find them. It aired on ABC in the US last winter.

Helstrom

There’s very little fanfare for this comic book show‘s UK debut, which met with mostly negative reviews on release and was cancelled after 10 episodes, but Marvel completists will want to take a look. Tom Austen and Sidney Lemmon play the Helstrom siblings Daimon and Satana, the children of serial killers who hunt down the worst of humanity.

Love, Victor

Another Hulu original making its UK debut, this teen drama spins off from celebrated gay teen 2018 film Love, Simon. It’s narrated by Nick Robinson, who played Simon in the original film, and follows the story of a Puerto-Rican/Colombian-American teen living in Atalanta. Reviews for the 10-part first season were strong and it’s been renewed for a second.

Solar Opposites

Rick and Morty‘s Justin Roiland and Star Trek: Lower Decks‘s Mike McMahan are the creators of this adult animated comedy series about a family of aliens (pictured above) forced to seek refuge in middle America. Season one was enthusiastically received, and a second run is due to air in the US in March. Read plenty more about it here.
