Well that's a lie it always tastes like shit. I only eat like that for the protein, not for the taste. Maybe you've got some fucked taste buds.
Rev couldn't have something that didn't come with me to the future considering I only met him after, and I doubt you just stumbled upon that picture when you were up in Woodsboro.
I'll do it, no sweat, no problem.

we finished patlabor on tv recently and honestly like 30+ years later it still feels pretty unique in the niche that it fills
like there's obviously a ton of real robot series, but I don't think there's too many other shows in that style that are *as* devoted to like, near future speculative sci-fi in the same way. like there's a lot of shows filling the role of a star trek or alien, but it feels like there's not as many mecha anime doing stuff along the lines of contact or district nine or whatever, where they're using a setting grounded in relatively realistic contemporary political and cultural contexts, and machines that are meant to feel plausible. I feel like the closest thing I can think of that I've seen is gundam 08th ms team.
but at the same time, it's regularly pretty goofy. in the tv show and ova, the oshii type proto-gits plotlines are often spaced out between lots of episodic plots about kaiju, incompetent minor criminals, or light cop show incidents reminiscent of you're under arrest, that are sort of at odds with the dead serious tone I tend to expect from a real robot series.
in this sense it really does feel like a star trek series- the characters and setting are plastic enough to easily switch back and forth between self serious metal gear in the shell plots and the lighter you're under arrest style cop show sitcom plots at will, without breaking immersion all that much... although I think the ova and TV series might push the envelope more often with wildly silly episodes and directly referential gags than something like ds9 does.
my introduction to the series was the first movie and I still think that's kind of the quintessential patlabor thing in a lot of ways. the overarching cyber-noir plotline features interesting and prescient critiques of the late 80s economic bubble, there's lots of fun with various mecha concepts and designs, and it also spends a decent amount of time fleshing out the routines and personalities of the main cast. part of me is kind of annoyed that most of the rest of the series doesn't balance things out as well as that.
but I think a close second was the episode of the tv anime where they keep trying to get lunch delivered to the sv2 outpost but it never shows up, so they get increasingly desperate until the entire crew drives out and immediately gets food poisoning, and probably a full third of the episode is noa running around trying to keep everyone's orders straight. it hits a really good sweet spot of developing the day to day stuff while also being really fucking funny
#the high point of patlabor on tv was any time anyone was wearing casual clothes#the low point was any time it attempted to discuss east asian geopolitics or depicted anyone from china#also all the girls are really good#noa kumagami nagumo and clancy should... well...

Hey if you could do a crossover with each of your AUs with another AU what would you pick
I want to write crossovers all the tiiiime! I am blessed enough to have made friends in the fandom that I can poke awake in their inboxes and ask what-if’s about; but ACTUALLY writing a crossover is a whole other thing. There’s some AU’s I am HUGE fans of, that I don’t think a crossover would with LSoW, or Portal Panic, or Flipside. (Flipside is my nanowrimo project lmao.)
Obviously I wanted to write an Empathy is Learned crossover with @alicat54cwriting, and we did! And it was super fun and I learned a lot. If I had to pick more fandom creators to crossover with:
@amevello-blue Obviously. GiTS and LSoW would be SO FUN and heartbreaking, and we’ve already talked a lot about it and how it would work, but we’re both busy with projects at the moment. But it’s on my dream to-do list for sure if the stars can align. (Mainly me finishing a couple things to give it full attention, because Ame is an absolute beast when it comes to juggling multiple projects. Everyone go read The Mystic Forest AU.)
@tangledinink and me talk about Gemini/LSoW crossovers all the time because we have a disease lol. Anyone who knows him knows he loves playing with our characters like little dolls. Me giving Yoshi eight kids in crossovers seems to be a running theme and also very funny to me; including Venus and Jenni it would be TEN. Man’s life would turn into a SITCOM. But also Yoshi having daughters would be very funny and sweet to me he is such a helicopter Dad, and being faced with what he truly thinks would be the worst case scenario for all of his children would be uhhhhhh. VERY BAD. (And we love 'very bad' in this house.)

(I don't think Kayson would mind me posting a snippet of our convo because we are so smart and correct all the time.)
I also love @mudlarkspur's Catchyou!AU. I think xir Donnie in my AU would be very fun! She's still a kid in the fic (I love their 'assigned girl by gargoyle' Donnie it's very funny and sweet, but xir more grown designs for Donnie and the plot that's to come is super exciting to me, and I think either would be so fun to play with in an AU. Also, the science in this fic I am obsessed with.
I'm not sure if a CROSSOVER with @thedawningofthehour would necessarily work, but they have a lot of OC's and turtles I would love to kidnap and play with. Their world is so rich and well made I feel like I need to study them like student would, it's crazy.
And needless to say a Discord Ronin Admin AU crossover would be just. Clenches fist. So. Perfect. But @melonpalooza is singlehandedly holding the entire crossover multiverse together through sheer force of will, and if our schedules and inspiration ever aligned it would be a miracle.
OBVIOUSLY me twirling my hair and thinking of crossovers is absolutely just introspection and fantasizing, because everyone's schedules are crazy and a lot of fic authors are already (I PROMISE YOU) juggling multiple fics. So nobody go bothering them about it, because I promise you I am NOT shy about contacting people, and chances are I've already gone into their inbox like a shy cat to give them the dead mouse of my AU and already talked about crossovers.
I also have about four different works i really want to get out before more crossing over, because some things like 'The Hidden City Trial' and 'Red King' are pretty integral to understanding how the world of LSoW is going to work moving forward!
If anyone ever wanted to contact ME for a crossover I'd be perfectly fine with it! I've read a LOT of fics in the fandom so you never know what I might have read, and the worst I can say is 'no'. It's the finding time part that's really hard.
Sorry for the long answer! There's just a lot of AU's and fan creators that I'm a huge fan of. ;-;

Happy 51st Birthday to Marlon Wayans.
Born July 23, 1972, He is an actor, comedian, screenwriter, and film producer, beginning with his role as a pedestrian in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka in 1988.

We are nearing the end of submissions everyone, but there's still a little more than a week left if you're wanting to get in on the first round of Corrupt-a-Wish fest! Prompts and claims are all open through January 31st with Submissions due by 5 PM MST February 1!
To keep some inspiration going, we've got another prompt jump start, this time for 'Basilisk on the loose'. Just a reminder, you are welcome to take the jump start and run with it, take the prompt and do something entirely different with it, or anything in between, these are just to help get creative juices flowing!
It wasn't his fault, none of it was ever his fault. Things like this just always happened to him. House elves turned up in his bedroom to drop pudding on his uncle's boss, zoo enclosures failed until they didn't, he discovered he was fluent in languages that were utterly useless for anything beyond convincing everyone you were secretly an evil git who wanted to kill your friends. Harry's life was just an endless string of bad sitcom episodes and stories that made everyone around him sad and uncomfortable. Which was probably why he was now running down the halls after an apparently ill-advised trip to the loo in the wee hours of the morning, with water spraying everywhere from a broken toilet behind him and a great bloody snake in pursuit that kept calling him 'Master'.

使用 git 發生的蠢事
最近為自己的部門規劃了���段 git flow,在設計要開出新分支時,是採用「Feature_#票號_功能名稱」這樣的命名方式。
但當同事推上這個 branch 後,我卻怎麼樣都拉不下來,我一直在想是不是我拼錯打錯指定或是弄錯了什麼。直到我想照著這個命名邏輯自己開一個新的分支來修改東西的時候發現,原來當中的 # 會讓這個指定變成註解,我必須要用引號把它包起來,終端機才會認得這個指定...
到底,我為何如此瞎搞自己呢。

hey amy.txt, i just watched the finale of lower decks. if you feel like it, would you share your thoughts on it? the action was great and the payoff of a whole season of little bits of foreshadowing very satisfying but Mariner forgiving everyone so easily felt a bit iffy to me. also... oh jennifer. i liked you. you feel like there's any future to their relationship?
Aw, thanks! I'm flattered that you want my opinion! Short answer: I basically agree with you. Long answer: well, it's been a while since I talked about this show...
I really enjoyed Season 3. I even liked that I didn't like the Peanut Hamper episode, because it was a truly authentic Weird Bad And Slightly Too Horny Episode Of Star Trek, and those are part of the experience whether we want to admit it or not.
And I certainly didn't dislike the finale—as you said, some supremely satisfying payoffs in there. I especially felt like the climax was a beautiful and crystal-clear execution of Mike McMahan's own personal vision of Star Trek: a bunch of smart people who like each other, solving hard problems together for the greater good (plus jokes). I think they're 3 for 3 in absolutely slamming it home.
Now here comes my great big but, lmao. The S3 finale was also the first episode of this show that felt too ambitious for a half-hour. Dare I say "overstuffed." They had so many things to pay off and so many threads to pull together, and while I think they did a good enough job... again, as you said, some of it felt pretty rushed.
I personally didn't have a problem accepting how quickly Mariner forgave everyone, because I was satisfied (...enough) with the explanation: she had a pattern of impulsive, destructive behaviour for a long time, and while she's turned over a new leaf, she recognizes it was recently enough that she still has trust to rebuild, and she's grown enough to look past her hurt feelings and commit to reconciling with the people who are most important to her—who, importantly, all just almost died, which tends to put things in perspective.
But that explanation I just wrote is three or four times more detailed than what's actually in the script, and what's there goes by very fast. (And, to be fair, efficiently! It's not bad writing by any means.) Especially compared to how long Episode 9 made us sit in the awful stomachache of everyone wrongly judging her... yeah. It doesn't feel balanced, emotionally, does it?
As for Jennifer... idk, I never got that attached. I heard an interview with Mike McMahan right after S2 in which he said (in so many words) that Lower Decks isn't a show about romance, it's about Mariner's personal growth and her friendships, and Jennifer's role in the story would mainly serve those purposes—and he said it with a real "yeahhh, don't get your hopes up" tone, lol, so what we got is about what I was expecting. (I also pretty much stopped caring about Jennifer as soon as Petra Aberdeen showed up, but that's just me being a shallow lesbian, ahem.)
I guess if Lower Decks has a "problem," it's that it's a very good Star Trek series, and a pretty good sitcom, and when it drifts too far away from the latter and towards the former, it's bound to collide with the strictures of TV animation, where 30 extra seconds in your episode adds an actual million dollars to the budget, minimum.
Now, it's not like CBS isn't shovelling more and more money at this show every year. A whole season of hour-longs is never gonna happen—so they'd better git gud about colouring inside those lines—but adding an 11th "episode" to the order, for a double-length season finale? Purely wishful thinking on my part, sure, but weirder things have happened in TV.
So yeah. No major complaints from me, but they definitely need to get this under control:
Thanks again for asking! This was fun!

My Fic List
A very wise anon suggested that I pin TLAT so...
Hi! I'm writing fic of Jules's beautiful classic James/Lily fic The Life and Times, which everyone in the fandom should read because it's a masterclass in dialogue, characterization, and romantic build-up, and her Lily and James are both so wonderful and so distinct and grow so much as people, and...guh. I could gush about Jules all day. Whether or not you read my stuff, please please read TLAT! But it is unfinished, and Jules said she was not writing it anymore, so...
Potter and Evans—This is my TLAT continuation fic! I wanna give Jily a first kiss, but won’t go much past that/through the prologue. I love constructive criticism, requests, anons, theories, anything about this fic because this is an act of catharsis for me and I want it to feel the same way for readers, so I want the characters/world to feel as true as possible to Jules's! WIP (2/3 chapters published)
Saving Seats and Sugar Quills—Slice of life of TLAT!Jily six days into their relationship. In which James is a git, and it is very high school but also...if I do say so myself...kinda hot. One-shot.
I also have a couple established-relationship TLAT!Jily drabbles here (Christmas Eve) and here (Christmas morning) and here (afterglow...utter nonsense) and here (post-Quidditch final). And my personal fav TLAT scene I’ve ever published is a “deleted scene” of James writing his letter to Keepdown here.
Also, I have done other stuff!
Professor(s) Potter—Jily Lives AU where both Lily and James teach at Hogwarts during Harry’s second year. 80% fluff and smut, 20% intense war angst (I swear I was just trying to write a sexy sitcom. James decided to make it angsty) WIP (2/~6)
Dear Tuney—This is my first attempt at smut, which I inexplicably wrote in 1st person. LOL. We all make mistakes. James and Lily try to get sexy at Petunia and Vernon's stuffy dinner party, but they keep getting bloody interrupted. WIP (3/4)
Ginger Bread Girl—Lily Evans is working for Petunia's bakery (and having a crap time) when James Potter walks in with a terrible pun and a twinkle in his eye that screams Mischief. Two-shot.
And from long, long, Long Ago:
Meeting the Potters—James has invited his girlfriend of six months home to meet the parents, but the more Lily thinks about it, the more this seems like the world's worst idea. One-shot.
Howlers and Nail Polish—This! Was my attempt at a Jily epic from many moons ago, and there are future scenes from it that I'm genuinely really, really excited about, but I can't say with confidence I'll ever pick it back up. Fair warning. WIP (6/many many)
Eclectic Like a Thunderstorm—James isn't exactly fluent in Muggle, but that doesn't mean he's not going to try. Jily fluff! One-shot.
For Surfing Purposes—"Right, right, right. I'm a surfing instructor. Obviously. Because why else would I be standing behind this counter? It's not like I'm some weirdo who just has a compulsive need to break every single rule I see," James muttered, eyes darting to a sign on the counter that read, "EMPLOYEES ONLY". One-shot.

The Young Ones - Summer Holiday 🌞
Original air date: 19.6.84
Reviewed by: @postpunkpontypandyphantomthief
Summer Holiday, the final flash in the pan, while The Young Ones had become a comedy sensation, all good things must come to an end “as they say” and the writers of The Young Ones made sure that this would go out with a bang, because they ran out of ideas.
The title Summer Holiday is a reference to a Cliff Richard song and film of the same name, this will be relevant later.
One of the details of Summer Holiday that makes it stand out compared to other Young Ones episodes is the emotion, while the cast of chaotic characters were definitely not devoid of that. In the previous episodes their reactions were always comedic and tongue in cheek, (ooer), this episode has some surprisingly serious moments for a British sitcom finale.
Scenes like when Rick has to process the fact his parents are dead, the lads realizing that they have nowhere else to go but the streets and Vyvyan, who sobs upon realizing SPG died in a brief car crash, some of these scenes still have 4th wall jokes thrown in but it’s still a surprise to see these characters acknowledge the dreaded reality of “the real world”, the fact that Thatcher was as ruddy terrible as Rick made her out to be, that the smug posh tory students had no idea about what it was like for working-class university students in the 1980s, being told and trained to enter adulthood only to have to deal with unemployment and bastard landlords.
Apathy is referenced quite a lot in this episode, there’s Mike being an inconsiderate git to Neil about his birthday, there’s Mr Balowski making the characters homeless, Dawn, the one-off university friend of the lads saying that surely their exam results will help them forget about the fact that they don’t have a place to live anymore and SPG, even in death as he rises up to the golden cage in the sky, he remarks that Vyvyan is a “wimp” for crying in his grief.
Part of what made The Young Ones stand out to other sitcoms was that it was anarchic and angry, with characters who hated each other, this is usually played for laughs, but in this episode, we see that realistically they have a lot of communication problems.
For starters, Mike the so-called “dad figure” for the group ends up not being the cool, voice of the reason that he was perceived to be, he’s a selfish tory who cares about nobody but himself and even when the lads are evicted, he’s only whining about the fact that he has to deal with it.
He is such a nasty git to Neil, when Neil was just trying to find the silver lining and celebrate something positive he had to just shut it down, more like Mike the cold, cruel person.
Neil isn’t as gloomy as he usually is, he ends up getting the top exam results out of all the lads, he has a few funny quips about the BBC’s music choices and getting his wig snatched, but he still moans which is mocked by someone drawing silly faces over him, to be fair he has a reason to moan, he wants to just celebrate his birthday party but the spirits are down, which makes him very “heavy”.
Not as heavy as when he briefly turns into the Hulk, throwing Rick and Mike over the grass like a wrestler, quite the change from his typical pacifist attitude, until it’s revealed it was merely him being shirtless and “presumably” high.
Vyvyan is lacking stimulation, he is very bored and sober which he makes everyone aware of at the start of the episode, even his meaningless violence feels less extreme than usual, he likes pondering about silly stop-motion ants being at discos (complete with sequins) and playing a bit of cricket which is really "let’s play swing the bat into rick’s face", while he gets top marks like Neil, he can’t celebrate for long because soon he crashes his car and kills his hamster (accidentally), his crying shows that he did actually care for SPG, they just had the typical snarky like/dislike relationship that some people can have with their pets.
Vyvyan also remarks that Rick is a pervert when Rick asks about gender in his Botticelli game, would this imply that Vyvyan is trans or transphobic, who knows, but people can make their own interpretations, he is quite offended when Rick mentions about Vyvyan being a girl's name, but let’s not forget when Rick said “I’m not a girl at all” snarkily in the interesting episode, and when he remarks “I am a boy” after making an insistent remark about blue aeroplanes on his bedroom wall, some say Rick’s a trans dude, most of the early fanwork depicts Rick as transfem, it depends.
Speaking of the transvestite sapphic with a cartoon worm on his y fronts, Rick is one of the few characters in the episode who is being somewhat sympathetic about their situation, he complains about his parents, and he tries to come up with distractions for their boredom (despite some tone miscommunication), he complains about being evicted, about fighting the establishment, referencing the Red Army Faction, issues that are relevant to left-wing/anarchist circles, while some usual performativity does show when he talks about his parents, thatcher and the unemployed, the eviction is quite a wake-up call, he’s still a bit of a pratt to Neil but not as much as Mike is, it’s implied that Vyvyan fancies him, he could be messing with him but also why else would he choose to mess with the prick so much? Why else would he go rummaging through his things?
"He was the punk and Rick listened to Spandau Ballet"~
Another actually “anarchist” thing that Rick does in this episode is that he manages to successfully steal a bus.
There are a few typical young ones regulars and tropes, Helen Lederer speaking like a robot clerk at the bank robbery, Jools Holland in the queue and John Otway singing Body Talk, if you look closely you can also find Norman Lovett of Red Dwarf fame, Ben Elton appears in a beer advert parody referencing the sexist stereotypes of adverts at the time, Vyvyan mentions Keith Harris the puppeteer, Mike mentions a Gone with the Wind quote and there’s a cutaway sketch of a dysfunctional “nuclear family” being gross and deviant, a mocking social commentary of the “family-friendly” 70s sitcoms that the young ones were up against, this reminds me a bit of a monty python sketch of a similar premise.
This might seem like just one of the many satirical cutaway gags made in The Young Ones about its mark in the comedy world at the time and how subversive it was, but it’s also symbolic in how comedy was moving forward, it wasn’t just a technical transition but a metaphorical one, as this was the last Young Ones episode aired and produced.
As the Lads drive off away from the city, they suddenly feel happy and energized, they’re just singing along to cliff Richard songs while Neil plays guitar, determined that they can still have a good life without silly o level results, Rick briefly mentions Una Stubbs, one of Cliff’s brief love interests, before they realize a Cliff Richard billboard is in their way, they then crash, turns out Rick was right, there were now at the gates of oblivion before the bus combusts into flames as the credits roll.
For some fans of the ratty britcom lads, this episode is more sad than funny, and as you read this analysis I’m sure you can see why, from 1981-1984, Britain had gotten used to these punk students on the television screen, they opened people’s minds and made a few knob and bum gags but they changed comedy and the world, highlighting the political issues of thatcher’s government aswell as the social issues teens were dealing with, complete with topical references to the popular shows and films like The Good Life, Dallas and The Hulk.
So to see these characters that we had gotten so used to, suddenly dying in a comedic bus crash, was quite a shock for some viewers, but it had to happen, how else was comedy gonna progress after that?
There was more comedic chaos to come both on Rik’s end (ooer) and from Britain’s alternative comedy circuit, but even today in modern shows like IT Crowd and Derry Girls, the influence and impact that The Young Ones had left can still be seen to this day.
The Young Ones would appear once again for a comic relief special cover performance of Cliff Richard’s Living Doll, it ended up being top of the charts for three weeks in March 1986.
Showing that their song shall always be sung.

I know what I wanna ask. Tell me what my chaos boys Ghirahim, Zant, and Vaati are up to in the city, and if they ever hang out.
Ghirahim, Zant, and Vaati
They absolutely hang out. Constantly. Some wish they wouldn’t because when they get together it almost always results in problems but that’s the way it is, baby
They also make problems for each other. Because that’s funny.
They would make the perfect leading trio for a sitcom about bad guys in their down time, seriously. They have a kind of Always Sunny dynamic going on
Vaati ends up playing Third or Fourth Wheel whenever Ganondorf shows up though. Poor guy’s always left out of Mr. Ganon’s schemes.
Ghirahim’s kinda into Zant but Zant’s completely oblivious to it.
Catch the boys prank-calling Fi. Not Midna, though. She’s scary when she’s mad.
They’re basically the “Me and the Boys” meme when they get together.
A family can be three guys. That’s it, just three guys and no kids.
Ghirahim has a job teaching fencing. He’s flirty and tongue-waggly with all his students, you kinda just have to get used to it. It’s pretty good motivation to git gud, though.
Vaati works at a book store. If you annoy him it starts a secret boss battle.
Zant is employed as a full-time problem.
Their respective Links and Zeldas don’t really have a problem with them anymore. It’s been long enough that there isn’t really any bad blood between them anymore. They’ll still get involved if their bad guys start causing too much trouble, but otherwise they stay away from each other.
Vaati’s still not cool with Ezlo.
Midna and Zant both want to make amends with the other, but it’s gonna take a lot of work.
Ghirahim is still pestering Fi. He always insists on being the one who gets to pester her though, and doesn’t like it when anyone else does.
