Finished Series, Spring-Summer 2024: Time Patrol Bon (T・P BON)

"Namihira Bon. Just as my name implies, I've always been average at everything. But I'm actually a Time Patrol agent. I neither particularly stand out, nor am I disliked. I'm not in any clubs, I don't have any special interests either. But then, an unexpected encounter led me to become a Time Patrol agent. I had a senior agent, I had my first job, I was recognized as an official agent, and I got a junior. As a team, we went to different times and did lots of Time Patrol missions. Being a Time Patrol agent taught me one thing. Around historically important events, there are always ordinary people whose names we don't even know. They live their ordinary lives, laughing and crying. History is built by many people who don't stand out. I came to love my job as a Time Patrol agent, helping people whose names aren't widely known. Now, I can proudly say... Being ordinary is cool.

Finally finished all ten episodes of Pitch. Started watching the show for Kylie, stayed for the cast and the incredible story. I cannot believe Fox cancelled that show and left so many things unresolved. It should be a rule somewhere that when a show gets cancelled, a finale episode must be shot or in the can that resolves anything left open and unresolved for all of the characters.

It is an absolute crime that we didn't get to see more of this:

or this

or this

or this

And Blip and Evelyn and Oscar and Al and Livan and even Charlie. The whole cast was phenomenal and the story was richly layered. A true ensemble and a treasure trove of impeccable characters. (and compared to Big Sky, Kylie's current show, the showrunner/writing team here knew how to handle episodic arcs in combination with an overhead arc and balancing all of the characters' stories while not diminishing the main protagonist's presence/story line) This should have made the cut, hands down.

seriously though nothing can stop me from interpreting Real Life as canon just for how it progresses the canary curse situation. i'm obsessed with it. the curse gets broken in secret life and then in the very next "series", as much of a joke as it is, you get a situation like THAT. jimmy enters a mineshaft and everyone but him dies. not just his team, though obviously it's more significant because they were all red, but ren/martyn/skizz all get a mineshaft-death apiece. that canary's not doing his job anymore. he escaped his cage and made a break for the surface and everyone else is paying the price for it, and i for one could not be more proud of that little bird.

Instead of the “Jason vs Percy” rivalry we should have gotten Annabeth vs. Jason but instead of a fight for power it’s them having a battle of autism cause their special interests were Greek myths vs Roman myths.

Jason calls a Greek god by their Roman name and Annabeth pops up out of nowhere and goes “erm, actually”

The 7 is talking about some landmark and Annabeth and Jason start arguing about which pantheon it was dedicated to.

“It’s amazing right? It was dedicated to Athena.” “Erm, it was actually built for Mars…”

Can you draw something with Doom Patrol!Edwin and Netflix!Edwin?

Maybe something about Dp!Edwin talking about his feelings for Charles with N!Edwin?

It's just something I've been thinking of, make it a little angsty?<3

Glad you asked

Autumn is about to officially end tomorrow, soooo I'm about to infodump you about things I got into this season, which I might be posting about later on.

1. I finally fell into the charm of BTS. I'm not even kidding procrastinated coming back to them after my mother forbid me listening to them about 7 years ago, pfff. That's a story for another time, but yeah.

2. I watched Wednesday!!! I'll talk about it later but OMG, i really liked it. First i was scared it was gonna be like any teen Netflix series, but I felt like it really delivered.

3. Pinnochio, BUTT BUT, GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S VERSION. You have no idea how amazing✨ it is if you haven't seen it. The stopmotion is devine, and the character designs and puppets are delicious visually, very detailed and captivating!

4. Crochet. Yes, I'm grannygirl aesthetic gal. I might post or even complaint about it in the future.

End of note, pffff.

Grian: OK mumbo for the love of god be really careful resist the impulsive thoughts do NOT get on that strider. Do not do it. You cannot control it and you will get stranded and possibly drown when you dismount. I want you to be safe so do NOT get on the str-

Mumbo: *who got on the strider as soon as he realised it was a possible option* Grian this is your fault.

As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.
