Turtles Encounters Her First Full GMMTV Upfronts Experience: A Personal Journey Into GMMTV2024

LOL, I don't mean to be dramatic -- I was around a little bit (?) last November for the GMMTV2023 upfronts, and I honestly did not know what was going on, except to scream about Cherry Magic Thailand. Back then, I was much more of a Japanese BL gal (see: Cherry Magic), but now I'm down with the GMMTV scene, as it were, through my Old GMMTV Challenge project, and I'm ready to wax on deez trailers.

One huge overall note: YES TO DUDES NOT BEING IN BRANDED PAIRS. Your Gawins, your Ohms, your Thors, your Joss-es. YES. This is an exciting line-up to me to see the dudes getting mixed up. As much as I loved Be My Favorite, I don't need to see GawinKrist again.

I am stealing the formats of the wonderful @bengiyo and @neuroticbookworm to offer my thoughts on the trailers! (My list is literally gonna look like everyone else's list, LMAO).

FUCK YES

My Golden Blood: Joss, Gawin, Mond, Neo. Vampires. Blood. Baseball bats. LSKDJFLSJDFLKSJDGLKJSDLGKJSLDKGJLDSKF. The SFX are gonna be SO BAD. Joss sucking Gawin's blood will be SO FUCKING GOOD. I AM STILL SCREAMING. OBVIOUSLY.

Kidnap: Ohm Pawat's next BL. While he had previously said that he wanted Bad Buddy to be his last BL, the bullying scandal that he encountered this past year makes this decision a sensible one to get back on the brand engagement train. His co-star, Leng Thanaphon, is gorgeous looks like he's making a strong debut. I am very happy for Ohm, but I think I am a bit spoiled by knowing his previous non-GMMTV oeuvre so well (Make It Right, Dew, He's Coming To Me), and I'm feeling like GMMTV isn't pushing his acting chops as much as they used to. (Meaning.... I'd be okay if he left GMMTV one day to do more movies.) Time will tell, but I am happy for him -- he is a king of BL, the most prevalent actor on the OGMMTVC list, and this'll let him rebuild his career. He deserves it, and is a personal fave of mine.

Wandee Goodday: YO. So obviously this looks intriguing! But like -- I'd expect Golf Tanwarin to be doing this for another network. Full-frontal, heavy (HEAVY!) sex talk, smoochin' everywhere. I'm impressed GMMTV is going here. It's perhaps because I have Domundi on the mind heavily with my recent ZeeNunew education, but I have been feeling as of late that GMMTV has been choosing fluff and/or crap romance (SEE: DANGEROUS ROMANCE -_-) over... pure sex, as it were, and this is getting closer to a Domundi-style show than even where Only Friends went. I LOVE THOR. I LOVE THOR!!!! I'm excited for this, and me likey the looks of Inn.

On Sale: I am LOVING this new we're-not-in-school-we-are-just-insane TayNew era. And Jan is a FAVE FAVE FAVE of mine, and looks like she's gonna level this show the FUCK up. I'm SO INTO THIS.

Pluto: For sure I am watching this for Film (oh, and hi, Thor and Arm!). I'm not the biggest Namtan fan? I wasn't the biggest fan of her acting in Midnight Museum or UMG. Kinda flat. But she's at the top of the popular actress list at GMMTV, and it's great that someone of her prominence is flirting in the QL space. Film, though -- Film has CHOPPPPPPPPPPS and will likely eat this role. We might never get EarnPear, but this might be close.

My Precious: For NanonFilm, anything. But this is just the movie with more scenes, right? I don't know if it was ever going to get international distribution as a movie anyway. K. I'll buy it!

The Trainee: Tell me where I've seen OffGun do movie shit before -- and I don't mind the slight theme repeat. KapookPiploy, huh? I have not seen Vice Versa, but I really enjoyed Sea Tawinan in that. Gun crying, not surprising, but I officially stan OffGun because of Not Me, and I'll stand by this one.

UMMMM

My Love Mix-Up: See here for my initial thoughts. I came to Thai BLs from Japanese BLs. Kieta Hatsukoi was one of the first JBLs I discovered specifically through Tumblr. Japanese BLs are so varied -- and I think, when one is watching JBLs, to have a gentle/general sense of how sex is perceived/managed/dealt with in Japanese culture. I'm not gonna get into this too much here, but the ways in which Japanese and Thai societies deal with sex is very different. Anyway. I think my own mental dissonance on this conversation is coloring my thoughts on My Love Mix-Up Thailand/Kieta Hatsukoi Thailand. Pairs are not repeated in Japan (unless you have second seasons of the same show), and to have an established branded pair in GemFourth in Ida and Aoki's roles -- I'm just, I'm not sure. I don't want the show to feel pressured to go to a place it wouldn't go to without a branded pair. Will Thailand pay homage to Ida's unique and inquisitive demi identity? Can the branded ship economy manage that? I dunno. Let's wait and find out.

Summer Night: I'm going to be gentle on this one. I like that Phuwin takes on various het roles. I happened to LOVE HIM in The Warp Effect. And I like Bimbeam in here -- she actually showed some firm chops in 55:15 Never Too Late. Only if the schedule allows will I take this one, but I actually like the smell of it a bit.

Ossan's Love: What in the EarthMix. Ossan's Love was often cited as queerbaiting material for early Japanese BLs (EDITING TO ADD: just want to clarify that that statement literally came from my early days in JBLs reading Twitter; thank you to @twig-tea and @nieves-de-sugui for the clarifications in the comments!); I have never watched it, but understand its importance in the Japanese BL repertoire. I'm gonna remain sus on this until we find out more. (Although, I'm VERY EXCITED to see a channel like TV Asahi break out of the Japanese paradigm of not collaborating with other countries to get this on Thai TV air. TV Asahi and TV Tokyo for Cherry Magic are real groundbreakers, and I do dig that.)

Only Boo: When I was talking about this show with friends, and @neuroticbookworm said "Book's in this," I WAS LIKE, WHO'S BOOK? LMAO. Let me see Book away from Force for a GOD DAMN SECOND. I know we don't know anyone in here, but the actors actually seem strong! This was a fun preview.

We Are: Lots of couples. PondPhuwin, MarcPawin, WinnySatang, Aou and that other dude. What is this, a New Siwaj show? I might have enough to watch next year without needing to watch ANOTHER school drama. We'll see.

LIKELY NOT

Enigma 2: Not a fan of Win Metawin, and didn't watch the trailer.

High School Frenemy: I understand this is a K-drama remake of School 2013, which I haven't seen. I... am trying to understand the story here, but happy for View/June/Mark/Prom to be in a show together, and I'll pay more attention when the show's closer to airing.

HARD PASS

Ploy's Yearbook: Did not watch the trailer. I understand there's a storyline with Joong's character romancing his adopted sister. HARD. NO.

﹒SUNNY DAYS ˒ ˓ FILES O2 𖥦 rascalz and their sponsors ! 𓈒 ꔛ ˙ ˖

⋆ NEXT ⫾ kim sunoo is a popular student. so popular in fact that he has numerous fan accounts, but he only cares about one: an anonymous user who posts encouraging messages every morning before school. his goal is to figure out who this mysterious person is but what would happen if one betrayal reveals this user’s “true identity”? would they rather fight for love or stay with the person who has been with them since the beginning?

KIM SUNOO aka user kimsunoo is the eldest of the rascalz trio and a sophomore in decelis academy. he’s in too many clubs to count which is why he’s so famous you would wonder why he’s not verified on twitter !!! he’s also rly scared of his fans bc they are Crazy™️ which is why he only follows his close friends and sunnydays :p

YANG JUNGWON aka user znwon is a sophomore in decelis academy. he is the class president who lost the treasurer position to haewon :p he tends to give nicknames to people to remember their names … then proceeds to forget their names and only remember their nicknames 😓 would probably plan to hang out with you even if he didn’t know you <3

NISHIMURA RIKI aka user notricky surprisingly skipped a grade and is now a sophomore when he’s supposed to be a freshman &&& no one knows why or how because he only aims for C’s or D’s because he wants to C Deez nuts. your typical ipad kid & literally doesn’t know why his ipad is very oily… and blames the oil from his ipad as the reason why it always gets lost or breaks. loves jay (but it might be because he’s Rich)

PARK JAY aka user notjay is a junior in decelis academy. he met rascalz when riki was looking for his ipad and basically adopted them then and there. he knows riki accidentally sits on his ipad 24/7 but doesn’t do anything about it (even if he’s tired of riki giving him the puppy eyes to persuade him into buying him a new ipad as soon as his old one breaks). always plays video games with rascalz !!! his twitter is always getting “hacked” by the rascalz because he always gets tricked into giving them the password :p

PARK SUNGHOON aka user ireneslover is a junior in decelis academy who studies hard in order to give his “wife” irene a good life. when he’s not obsessing over irene, he’s trying to convince jay that they’re really really distant cousins :p when irene doesn’t post for a long time, he posts thirst traps because he believes it will summon her 😪 … tried to ask yn out once while “babysitting” rascalz but got really badly scolded by heejake lol

Rating Verbal Exchanges I Receive(d) at Work

“Have a good day.” 5/10

Pretty standard. Nothing exciting. I usually say it simultaneously by accident which is always awkward.

“You too.” 5/10

A standard reply to a standard statement. Better than nothing, shows basic reciprocation.

“You as well.” 7/10

“You too,” but shaking it up a little like Barry B. Benson.

“Have a blessed day.” 6/10

Synonymous with #1, usually has religious connotations. Keeps things interesting, easy to say “you too.”

“Oh, that’s mine,” while reaching for pizza. “Haha, just kidding.” 0/10

I will actually try to give you the pizza bc it is heavy, I want it out of my hands, and I have no way to tell whether the pizza belongs to you or not, leaving me no choice but to genuinely take your word for it, making me feel like a fool for believing you. Not funny, rude and annoying wish people would stop doing this I’m just trying to do my job and you are actively inconveniencing me.

“What, none for me?” 1/10

Yes, none for you. +1 bc you’re not getting any.

“Sorry about the dog(s). 7/10

It’s okay, you don’t have to apologize for the dogs. I’ve been barked at on so many deliveries I’d be surprised if I wasn’t.

“Take care, sweetheart.” 10/10

I am blushing.

“Stay safe.” 9/10

Appeals to my values (staying safe) and shows genuine care for my well-being.

“Thank you.” 8/10

The polite thing to say, I expect you to say it in some way.

“Hi, how are you?” 5/10

A little bland. No matter what, the answer will always be the same: “good, how are you?”

“I like your pins.” (They are LGBTQ and non binary pins) 10/10

An ally. A friend.

Visible confusion before looking down at my chest. “A woman.” -100000/10

Wrong. Don’t look at my boobs. Don’t look me. Uncomfortable. I hate it.

Using my correct pronouns without being asked. +1000000/10

You’re perfect. My heart flourishes.

“Thank you for the pizzas and sodas, I’m going to get back to my tabletop game now!” 1000/10

You are literally my favorite customer. I haven’t seen you in forever, table top guy. I miss you.

“Woof!” Sniff sniff 100/10

Good doggy.

“Meow! Prrrrrr” 100000000x infinity/10

Good cat, cat is baby.

“He… or I guess… she… uh.. uhrhrh.” -100/10

Don’t strain yourself, you’re just embarrassing both of us. Seriously, if you can’t figure it out just pick one and stick with it.

“You’re the most popular lady in the neighborhood!” 8/10

Sadly, I am not a lady. I still appreciate the humor, it is very charming. And I probably have a soft spot for sweet older male gentlemen, they’re always so nice to me for some reason.

“Let’s sweeten the pot a bit,” while handing me a tip. 1000/10

Yes, he was an older male gentleman, and I loved him. It made my entire day. I said thank you very strongly. The pot was sweetened.

“So what is this delivery fee? If it’s not a tip, what is it? Oh, I see, corporate greed.” 10/10

I didn’t know what to say, so I just said, “I don’t really know, just for the money, I guess.” But when I thought about it later I realized a part of the delivery fee probably goes into paying for my mileage. But I really like that he was on my side, and also gave me a tip. And he has a tiny frazzled old chihuahua that always quietly greets me when I step out of my vehicle.

“This pen sucks,” while signing the receipt. 0/10

The kid wrote “deez nuts” or some other similar meme quote in the signature and did not leave a tip. Not impressed, teach your child common courtesy or don’t give them the credit card.

I still wish we’d gotten an election storyline in Krakoa - not for the X-Men team, because that mostly got glossed over, but for Quiet Council seats.  Right now they are just appointing people with votes within the Council, which also feels kinda....oligarchy-ish.  So none of the other Krakoan mutants get a vote on members of the ruling council that can banish people and send them into the Pit?

But, importantly, I wanted to see:

Fabian’s no doubt hilarious campaign.  Anne Marie runs against him as “Not Fabian,” on the “Don’t Vote for My Brother” ticket.

Shinobi’s equally hilarious campaign.  He’s not even running to win, he just wants attention.  When he gets too popular, he panics and starts deliberately leaking scandals associated with him and his family (including a sex tape) in an effort to lose.  When even that doesn’t work, he finally drops out and throws his support behind an actual sensible candidate like Dani Moonstar or Callisto.

Dazzler running to promote her new album.  She also drops out, but only after the album reaches platinum.

Mastermind, Selene and the Fenris Twins all run, and their campaigns are as horrible and silmy as you could imagine.

Bobby makes a joke about running, and finds himself on the ballot after his “joke” goes viral.  Despite his best efforts, he is, in fact, elected to one of the empty seats.

Either Callisto (representing the Morlocks) or Dani Moonstar (a leader for the younger generation of mutants) also gets a seat.

Emma plays Kingmaker and decides which candidates to back - ideally someone who will either vote with her, or someone pleasantly weak-willed that she thinks she can control.

Poor Toad runs and never gets high numbers, even though he actually has some very intelligent ideas.  He just can’t work up the charisma, even with Blob as his campaign manager.  He’s happy to at least beat Fenris, though.  Fenris scores lower than write-ins for “Deez Nuts” or “Harambe,” or whatever the cool kids are joking about online these days.

The Council appoints Toad to some kind of position anyway, like maybe helping Sage with intelligence gathering over on X-Force because they recognize that he’s intelligent and has good ideas to offer.

Pyro snapping into journalist mode during the campaigns.  Everyone expecting an easy “interview” from Pyro is surprised when the guy with the skull-face tattoo starts grilling them with sharp and intelligent questions.  Except Toad.  Toad’s listened to Pyro complain about “the state of journalism today,” he knows whats coming.

Do you like reading ancient history? I find it compelling, but I have a hard time reading it in large chunks. I read small passages here and there, and sometimes get temporarily obsessed with details in these passages. I used to get Herodotus and Thucydides, both Greek historians, mixed up. But since I fell in love with The English Patient, I now always remember Herodotus as the “father of history," as he came first. (See these posts for more on Herodotus and The English Patient.) The history Herodotus recorded about the Persian Wars was written from oral accounts heard during his vast travels; thus, much of his history is based on myth, rumors, and gossip. This was necessary, as he was writing about events before his time. Thucydides (pronounced Thoo-sid-uh-deez) was more scientific with his histories, writing only about events (primarily the Peloponnesian [Greek Civil] War) that happened during his lifetime. Tacitus is a Roman historian that we can get into another time. 🤓 And what of ancient plays? Many of us are familiar—even if we haven’t read them—with the plots of Sophocles’ plays about Oedipus (collectively known as the Theban plays). For fun, I posted this six-word book review of Oedipus the King: “Accidental MILF encounter leads to blindness.” It got almost 800 likes. 😛 If Sophocles is the Marcia Brady of ancient Greek playwrights, Aeschylus is Jan Brady. (“Sophocles, Sophocles, Sophocles!”) Aeschylus (pronounced Eh-skuh-lus) isn’t as popular or celebrated as Sophocles, but they did take turns beating each other in the drama competitions of their day. (Euripides never won, so maybe he’s Bobby Brady? “Don’t call me shrimp-o!”) 🤔 Anyway, Aeschylus’ Oresteia plays (Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides collectively) are really worth reading. Like many of the plays of this time, they are based on the events of Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey. In these plays, Agamemnon gathers a large Greek army to help retrieve Helen (of Troy), his sister-in-law who was seduced by Paris and carried off to Troy. Agamemnon is told by a seer that he must sacrifice his daughter if his army is to be successful, and he does. This enrages his wife, Clytemnestra, who kills her husband upon his return home. In The Libation Bearers, Clytemnestra’s other two children, Orestes and Electra, murder their mother to avenge their father. (Ugh, not exactly the Bradys.) The Eumenides concerns the trial of Orestes, the ruling, and Aeschylus’ conclusion that royal blood feuds will go on indefinitely unless institutions are put in place to help control anger, hatred, and revenge of individuals. This was a profoundly important and cutting-edge theory of that time. Have you read any of these ancient playwrights or historians? What do you recommend? If you haven’t read them, have I piqued your interest? Come on, the MILF/blindness thing has you curious, no?!? 😉🤓

[fic] A Tragicomedy In Five Acts

Series: Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan || The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Rating: T Genre: Friendship, Humour, Breaking the Fourth Wall Character(s): Akechi Touma, Saiki Kusuo, Saiki Kurumi, Saiki Kuniharu, Saiki Kuusuke Warnings: None, save for the canon-typical shenanigans Summary: Akechi has made a habit of showing up unannounced, uninvited at the Saiki residence. The inevitable "bonding" occurs and Kusuo despairs; the world continues to turn. A/N: A piece I wrote for the Disastrous Life Zine, a charity zine. I wanted to share the uncut version here since I like how it reads more (it's not too different from zine version, though). Leftover sales are currently still live, so here's your last chance to grab some limited items if you had missed the pre-orders earlier! Thanks to the mods & other contributors over at @disastrouslifezine, for all their hard work on this project. Many thanks also to my bro Digi for the awesome beta work and for always being an all-round great pal ❤ Fic can also be read AO3. _______ i. It’s a problem Saiki Kusuo should have—could have—nipped earlier in the bud, when he’d been forced to spend a whole Sunday with Akechi Touma betting on horse-racing. But between Akechi being (begrudgingly) accepted as one of the PK Psychickers to Kusuo having to stop a meteor from slamming into the planet—well, a lot had happened. Akechi had since taken to visiting the Saiki residence at random, with little notice in advance. On his second visit, Mom had invited him in before Kusuo could intervene. If it weren’t for the cupcakes Akechi had brought along—not to mention the terrifying heat of Mom’s demonic glare at the first sign of a protest—Kusuo would have teleported him miles away without hesitation. That’s how Kusuo finds himself now—glowering at Akechi who’s sitting politely in his room and firing a running commentary about nothing and too many things all at once. Resigned, he leans back into his study chair and asks, point-blank: What do you want, Akechi?

“Your mother is lovely as always,” Akechi replies instead, dancing around the question. “I’m grateful she’s gone from remembering me as ‘Pee Boy’ to ‘Kusuo’s Friend Who Only Ever Wets His Pants Occasionally’. Surely that’s a sign we have gotten closer.” It sounds just as terrible as the first—only a simpleton would be okay with that as a defining trait, Kusuo retorts. In any case, we’re hardly more than classmates. So, why are you here again? “I thought you would have realized it by now with your telepathy. But I suppose I can explain it for the sake of the readers!” Akechi beams, holding up a small case in his hand. Don’t just casually break the fourth wall, Kusuo frowns, even as he leans forward for a closer look. Akechi pops the case open and turns towards the game console. “I was recently gifted this game by my cousin, who assured me that, while underrated, it’s still a cult hit among fans. I thought it would be fun to play it together.” Kusuo stares flatly at the title OVERWORKED displayed on the disc as it slides into the console drive, already unimpressed. That is such a blatant rip-off. “Oh, no, it's a completely different game from the one you’re thinking of!” Akechi says. “Here you play as the overworked waiter of a cafe who serves multiple orders at once and takes over the cooking whenever the head chef throws a tantrum and storms right off.” How is that different from OVERC***ED? It is totally OVERC***ED! “Regardless, shall we have a play-off?” Akechi offers the controller to him. “Winner gets this box of cupcakes. I got them from the best pâtisserie in town, which is no easy feat. Why just this morning I left home at the crack of dawn to secure a spot in the queue, and even then, there were already about 30-odd people ahead of me! Who knew it was so popular—A-ah!” Kusuo yanks the controller easily from Akechi’s hand towards him with telekinesis, a glint of determination in his eyes now. Best two out of three levels. Loser also has to leave immediately. Akechi grins knowingly and cracks his knuckles, reaching for the second controller. “You’re quick to assume victory, Kusuo-kun. Very well, then!” Thirty-seven minutes later and Kusuo’s left staring at the final scores, appalled. He would have won if his character hadn’t kept freezing in place and glitching at crucial moments, messing up in the kitchens and sending out wrong orders. How is he always losing to Akechi like this? Clearly the universe is still conspiring against him. “You were so close to beefing my lask score dhoo,” Akechi says shamelessly through a mouthful of strawberry frosting. “And my, deez fupfakes are s’per dhasty!” Are you taunting me now? Kusuo scowls enviously at the cupcake in Akechi’s hand before he huffs, slinking back into his chair. Well, I’ll be staring dejectedly out my window for a bit, so feel free to eat your cupcakes and then leave. But Akechi only laughs then and, to Kusuo’s surprise, moves to place a chocolate cupcake before him. “You’re so melodramatic, Kusuo-kun. I never said the winner can’t share.” ... I guess you didn’t. They spend the rest of the afternoon eating cupcakes. _______ ii. This again? It’s been a month, but Kusuo already feels a sense of gloom settling over him when Akechi steps into the genkan. He would have been fine with leaving Akechi outside blathering away through closed doors for the entire day while he pretended not to be home, but obviously Mom is having none of that. “I’m so glad you’ve been coming over to play with Ku-chan!” she greets cheerfully. “I couldn’t believe it when I first heard, but you and Kusuo are getting along well, huh, Akechi-kun!” Dad says with a sagely nod, looking every bit the part of the morally upright, reliable father. Bold of you to believe such delusional notions of camaraderie, or that you even look the part of an admirable adult, Kusuo comments drily, before turning to leave. “We don’t just get along,” Akechi chimes in reply. “You could even say our friendship is super-califragilisticexpialidocious!” GET OUT. If looks could kill, Kusuo’s current expression is pure genocide. But his parents are already fawning and AH-HYUU-!!-ing at Akechi’s words, tears of joy gushing down their cheeks like an endless waterfall. Kusuo watches in quiet despair as Akechi is readily accepted into their fold with welcomed embraces, a key development in this romantic soap opera. Oi, what’s with the misleading narrative?! We’re not in that kind of fanfic right now! Dad and Akechi hit it off well enough, one thing leads to another, and Kusuo suddenly finds himself roped into playing MECH-O ARENA VR on the WAB station in Dad’s study. Seriously, stop it with the terrible rip-offs of actual games already, Kusuo frowns as he watches Dad’s and Akechi’s characters flitting about on the screen to fight off an incoming attack. “I suppose it’s not very original, is it?” Akechi says, punching the controller buttons in a flurry of movements. “But it’s different enough that we can probably avoid any unwanted copyright lawsuits.” That’s completely beside the point. Dad’s wholly immersed with the game now, so it’s impossible for Kusuo to get rid of Akechi without Dad throwing a childish fuss about losing his new gaming buddy. Not to mention Mom’s uncanny ability to appear with coffee and snacks each time Kusuo had tried to inconspicuously retreat back into his room, all while exuding an ominous aura that effectively dissuaded his need to leave immediately. Good grief—everyone’s being such a pain today, Kusuo sighs, before he finally relents to Mom’s cajoling to team up with her against Dad and Akechi in the final round. He figures it can’t get worse than this anyway. That is, until Kuusuke gets involved. _______ iii. When Kusuo returns home from a quick grocery trip for Mom, he walks into a surprisingly empty living room. He can hear Dad and Kuusuke’s voices from upstairs but for some reason he’s not quite able to perceive the atmosphere within—it’s as if his senses are partially blocked by a cognitive fog with the study engulfed in a dead zone. Must be that prototype “router” Kuusuke had installed in Dad’s study yesterday. Kusuo has zero interest in his brother’s tiresome antics, but is compelled nonetheless to check on them, if only to ensure Kuusuke isn’t playing Mad Scientist and coaxing Dad into yet another deranged human project. He opens the door, nearly lashes out in shock with telekinesis when he sees Akechi staring through the doorway with a creepy, owlish expression. “Oh, were you actually surprised, Kusuo-kun?” Akechi says. “My apologies for frightening you like that.” Kusuo studies the room cautiously, only to realize he’s unable to hear anyone’s thoughts with telepathy. He glares at his brother in suspicion. “Welcome back, little brother!” Kuusuke greets him with a Cheshire grin. “I see you’ve got yourself a new playmate. Hmm? Ah, you must think it strange that I've taken to Akechi-kun so readily.” Strange and highly dubious, Kusuo counters. What are you scheming? “Well, Akechi-kun shows the most potential and capacity for mental growth amongst the lesser primates close to you—” What a disparaging worldview. And stop deflecting! I know you can still understand me. “—So, he may yet make a good test subj—Ah, I mean, a good friend! Interesting specimens tend to gravitate towards you, after all. Though his propensity for peeing sure is troubling, isn’t it? Haha!” You can excuse questionable human experimentations, but you draw the line at incontinence? Kuusuke attempts a nonchalant shrug. “Priorities, amirite?” “But this is amazing, Kuusuke-san,” Akechi says, glancing up in awe at the blinking device on the ceiling. “The telepathy canceller really does block our thoughts efficiently!” “It’s child's play compared to Kusuo’s abilities,” Kuusuke says, seemingly modest, but Kusuo doesn’t miss the devious glint in his eyes when he reaches into his coat pocket to pull out what looks suspiciously like a detonator with a giant red button. “Still, with this, Operation SM☆SH can now finally commence—” Wait, Operation what?? Kuusuke, don’t you dare...! But Kuusuke is already pressing the button, and the study is plunged into darkness as the lights flicker off and the blinds draw shut. Alarmed, Kusuo wrenches the detonator away from Kuusuke’s grip with his telekinesis. What did you just do?! There’s an electronic whirr, a blinding flash, and Kusuo finds himself suddenly staring at a large LCD screen as it emerges from the ceiling. Music blares from overhead speakers as a cinematic opening sequence begins to play. “There you are, Kusuo!” Dad looks up from behind the coffee table where he’d been fiddling with the game console. He adjusts the VR headset over his eyes. “It’s time to finally beat you at SUPER SM☆SH BUDS as payback for last time! HII-YAAAH!!” ... Oh. So it’s just another game. “That’s right!” Kuusuke claps his hands together, blissfully ignoring the heat of Kusuo’s baleful glare. “I heard about your horse-racing bet from Akechi-kun and found this as the best way to even the odds for other types of games.” “The idea came to me while peeing in the shower; to find ways you could play and not get bored easily, Kusuo-kun,” Akechi adds in unnecessary detail. “But I didn’t think Kuusuke-san could actually pull it off.” “Here, Kusuo,” Dad says, waving his controller. “Come choose your character—” But Kusuo’s already teleporting away, fleeing the wretched upheaval within his own home to hide at Cafe Mami for the rest of the day. _______ iv. Akechi corners him after school three weeks later. Kusuo is surprised and unsurprised all at once; he had worn the germanium ring to class, after all, in a bid to avoid spoilers for the direct-to-streaming release movie adaptation of a book he’d been fond of. It’s easy to ignore everyone’s spoilery chatter when it isn’t droning directly into his mind—he’d kept his fingers stuck into  his ears each time class ended, oblivious to the strange looks thrown his way, and had even hidden away in the restroom cubicle during breaks, successfully avoiding any interaction with the usual human nuisances. Until now, that is. “Let’s walk home together, Kusuo-kun!” Akechi calls, jogging after him. I’m suddenly deaf and sound has eluded me, Kusuo deadpans as he breaks into a sprint, determined to leave before Akechi starts blabbing spoilers. “I noticed you weren’t quite yourself today,” Akechi continues, catching up with him.  “And I thought it might have something to do with the ring on your left index finger that you’ve fondled precisely seventeen times throughout the day.” What an awful way to describe it. I didn’t fondle anything. “Perhaps the material of that ring works in the same manner as the telepathy canceller—which would explain why you seemed uncharacteristically skittish today since you’re pretty bad at discerning people’s intentions without your telepathy.” What are you? A psychic? But Akechi only persists. “I realized later that you’d always leave whenever anyone started talking about that new movie on Netfl*x—” Can’t hear now, Kusuo slaps his hands over his ears. Gone horribly deaf. “And I figured it must be that you haven’t watched it yet for some reason, like maybe your home internet is down because your father forgot to pay the bills for three whole months and so it got cut—” How did you even..? Kusuo grimaces. N-nope, not listening! 100% deaf! “I know you don’t have a mobile phone to watch it on either,” Akechi continues. “So, that’s why I wanted to invite you to my house today, to watch it together. Oh, don’t worry, I know absolutely nothing about the movie. In fact, I’d only heard Kaidou-kun screaming out the title just ten minutes ago.” Kusuo pauses then, glancing back at Akechi in hesitance. Akechi only meets his wary gaze with a knowing smirk, and says, “We also have strawberry shortcake in the fridge.” _______ v. I don’t suppose there’s a good reason this time either, Kusuo sighs wearily, closing his book. Still, there’s a glimmer in his eyes; he knows Akechi had come bearing gifts—a selection of coffee jellies topped with cherries and chocolate drizzle. “I’ve made a habit of crashing your place unannounced, haven’t I?” Akechi offers a contrite grin, watching as Kusuo helps himself to a spoonful of jelly. “I do apologize, but whenever I get restless, I find myself wandering here by instinct. Admittedly, I was worried about being a bother, but your mother is always so welcoming at the door despite that dreary, constipated look in your eyes—” You are being a bother. Like a persistent mosquito that thinks it's summer all year round, Kusuo grouses with his Most Annoyed Expression, knowing how ineffectual his Feigning Ignorance Face had become over time. Also, have you graduated from pee references to shitty jokes now? Disgusting. But Akechi takes it all in stride, undeterred by Kusuo’s ugly grimace and acerbic jibes. “—Plus, it’d be considered extremely rude if I didn’t come in after that, and I certainly do not want you to think of me as rude. You’re a friend I hold in high regard, after all. I always have, ever since I found out it was you who saved me from the bullies back then.” The earnestness in Akechi’s words stumps him, if only a little. And though Kusuo is careful to keep his surprise from showing, there’s a part deep down in his not-so-granite heart that feels a touch of warmth at the sentiment. Akechi’s already placing the Scrabble board on the floor, so he misses the ghost of a smile that crosses Kusuo’s lips. Did Akechi honestly think he could beat a psychic at Scrabble too? How naive. “You’re probably thinking how naive I must be, believing I could beat you at a board game with your powers and all,” Akechi notes cheerfully, almost as if he’s a mind-reader himself. Kusuo frowns, slightly disgruntled by the fourth-wall breaking once more and wishes they would give it a rest for once. Overusing a trope gets really tiring, you know? Still, he smiles again as he takes a seat across from Akechi—who is now shuffling the Scrabble chips while nattering away about the history of board games and how the loser would have to give up his share of coffee jelly (as if Kusuo would allow it to come to that again). Two Sunday visits per month only, Kusuo says, lifting several chips into the air with a wave of his hand. If you beat me... I’ll allow it. Akechi’s eyes widen, before he breaks into a playful grin. “Very well, then. May the best man win.” Kusuo only lets out a soft laugh. Perhaps it’s not too late to pick up where they had left off in grade school. —End—

Uraraka friends + friendship hc

• Uraraka isn't "The popular girl" but everyone knows her and she knows everyone because she's soft, comforting and friendly. Also just a people-pleasing extrovert who charges by helping others. I wouldn't be surprised if she knew villains, realises it's them mid-fight and stops everything to talk them down from whatever crime they're doing. And even scarier, the villains listen. • She flirts with her friends endlessly but in a really vanilla way since it's all in good fun and it stays within boundaries, if they flirt back she will get very blushy and her forever-pink cheeks go red, but she doesn't stop, she just ups it while her whole face is blushing until she runs out of things to say and ends up shakily blowing a kiss and winking as she's processing all the nice things said.

• After the Sports Festival she asked Bakugou to spar. She wants to get better and she sees him as a goal, if she can solidly beat him in a fight then she can definitely know she's improved.

And I can easily imagine Bakugou agreeing, he wants to get better too and he respects others wanting to get better too. What he did not expect was she was learning to fight with knives and how stubborn she really is.

Well, he knew she was stubborn at the sports festival, if she could still move, even just barely, then she can still fight. He respects that even more. Both of these bitches need to learn to not push past their limits.

They goad each other so much. Uraraka can be mean when she wants to, saying things that probably aren't true but she knows she'll get a reaction out of it. She is terrified as she says it, but she knows this is what makes it challenging and the challenge is what she's here for. But usually she just says stuff like,

"How did I lose to you before? If you fight like this you have no chance of surpassing even Mineta,"

He is the only one who has seen her swear and no one believes him. It pisses him off exponentially.

• Her love language is quality time but also gift-giving which sucks because she is very poor. She actually becomes friends with Hatsune Mei from the support class as they both like to come up with creative and tailored ways to help individual people and come up with stuff they like!

After they become friends, Mei's latest inventions always have a hint of Uraraka in them, be they pink, somehow more adventurous than anything Mei could come up with on her own, or suspiciously some glitter thrown here and there.

When Mei is building stuff, Uraraka just sits there and listens to her ramble and work, she paints little hello kitty faces on desks, machines and even screws, it's basically her trademark.

• She has multiple alarms on her phone. As well as Iida's "good morning" messages at 5AM, she has alarms for 7am. 7:01am, 7:02am, 7:03am, 7:04am, 7:05am, 7:0- curse living far away so she has to take the train, or she'd be able to sleep in longer. but she always lets Iida know she does appreciate the sentiment. • She absolutely steals from the school cafeteria. Have you seen all that fancy expensive food? She won't steal much, just what she needs and it's the extra food that no one misses. Either she makes a deal with the chef about letting her have some leftovers or the chef would have no idea she's doing it. Even if they noticed some food missing, who's really going to suspect the cute pink bubbly friend-shaped Uraraka? Anyone else who's poor. That's who.

• She's not the mum friend, she's the aunt friend who will make sure everyone is safe and sound before doing something questionably illegal but since it's questionable she can plead ignorance.

• She and Iida get on very well despite being very different. They're both very nice, stubborn, emotional and passionate people yes, but Iida has no idea what the hell she is saying when she quotes memes. She's poor and a teenager, of course she goes to the internet for serotonin

"Uraraka I do not recall locating the barbeque condiment on your chest, what do you mean?"

"who is 'Deez' do I know them? You talk a lot about their nut collection, which is it almonds? peanut?"

"URARAKA THROWING ME THE PRINTER WHEN I ASKED FOR MY LOCKER KEYS IS RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS."

Poor boy went out "on the town" with her and they stopped at Mcdonalds, he looked completely out of place he had no idea what was happening, he just kept looking to Uraraka for guidance why there was a plastic figurine of a character from a recent movie among his food items. • She snorts when she laughs and she used to be really embarrassed by it but one day Mina and Tsuyu heard it while they were hanging out in her room and they found it so adorable they kept making her laugh to try to hear it again. She snorts more now, everyone is happy with this development.

• She has made plans before to mug Iida. In a friendly way of course. She would mug Momo but Momo loves gift giving and gives Uraraka pretty much anything she asks for anyways Momo is called "Sugar-Mommy in Uraraka's contacts. She was planning to mug Shouto before he joined the dekusquad and she found out he has a piece of shit dad and instead steals Enji's credit card.

She pays her bills with Endeavours money.

She also fucks around with it, like orders an entire truckload of All Might merch to be delivered to Endeavour, she changes every password she can, hires people to "re-decorate" Endeavours room to an All-Might-Stans-Fever-Dream and Endeavour was about to hound Shouto about it until he realises he's been inside nearby all day and would never have had a chance to order any of this.

Any money she doesn't spend on her family or herself, she spends on her friends.

• She probably has multiple part-time jobs. She helps her dad at his workplace, floating construction beams when the machines break down and helping where she can. But she doesn't get paid for that.

She does work at a small shop (Lidl is you're British, 7/11 if you're American) by the side of a gas station and she remembers all the employees birthdays and makes them little glittery cards.

• Eventually she works with Tsuyu at a cafe, they actually learn great communication skills there. They make secret signals that mean a certain table needs attention, "this guy is an angry customer, be careful" or someone needs a refill. All of them are of course subtle and it makes them feel like spies with secret missions it's great. These signals carry over into their training too. Everyone, even Aizawa at one point thought they somehow had a telepathic link, that let them know who was behind them or what was a threat the other couldn't have known about, where to go, how quick to go there it was madness.

They also cover each other's shifts without question when they know the other needs the day off. :3

• She makes a point to be soft, it's friendly and approachable, it helps people trust her. Don't get her wrong, she loves cute things, it makes her feel nice and safe, it's familiar and she wants to replicate that feeling, she wants to be able to walk into a room and have people smile because their hearts grow warm. She wants to laugh and giggle and joke with people, she wants to be a walking safe-space people can go to for comfort. She wants to be the hero you go to not only when you're in danger, but when you just need some comfort. She's a rare hero. She's a good one too.

• And when someone makes fun of her for being soft, she can't help but laugh. She apologises for laughing but she finds their ignorance so funny. It takes a lot to be soft and kind, it takes a special kind of person. In this world? In this world villains are a threat to everyone, heroes get corrupt, families are forced out of homes, quirk injustice and discrimination runs rampant, the kids who are too brave, dumb, stupid or desperate for their own good become child-soldiers/heroes, people, good people who try to provide for others the only way they know how, the only way left since legal society won't help them and then get called a villain for it. She's seen it. The fights, the homes destroyed, the families ignored and hushed, the horrible, horrible world. But she won't let that change her.

The world is harsh and cold, that doesn't mean she has to be. She'll be soft in spite of the world, no matter how hard the laws push to divide and destroy and make you rely on them and only them, Uraraka knows the darkness there is in society, in humanity. but more than that she knows she is too stubborn to let that win.

So she enjoys her pink fluffy pillows, enjoys the makeup that she can afford, the sparkly dresses, the cute hairpieces, the hello kitty stationary, her pink rounded hero costume, she'll be friendly to everyone, she'll be nice and kind and thoughtful to everyone, she wants to make the world a safer but also happier place to live in.

Plus when they mistake her kindness for naivety, the best catharsis she gets is when she knocks that smug look off peoples faces for underestimating her..

GTA Role Players Imagine a Reality Within the Omniverse Where Johnny Silverhand From Cyberpunk Lives in San Andreas

The scene: Grand Theft Auto V’s iconic city of Los Santos. People mill about outside an apartment building, likely plotting crimes. Nothing seems out of the ordinary—except for a lone figure. Clad in suffocatingly tight leather pants and a bulletproof vest, he looks prepared for anything and nothing all at once. He also looks like Keanu Reeves. He approaches a nearby man and asks—practically begs—for a cigarette. “I need my fucking...I need my fix,” he says in a hazy rasp. Then he trails off as he repeatedly slides into a T-pose while repeating the same sentence over and over. “I need my...I...I...I...I...” This is Grand Theft Auto role-playing, and these days, it’s a little different than you remember.

GTA role-playing is exactly what it sounds like: Players run around in GTA V’s massive open world and pretend to be cops, criminals, and everything in between, living out daily stories of their own makings. GTA V’s player-made “No Pixel” role-playing server never went away, but the delirious highs of the 2019 GTA RP boom feel like a distant memory. However, on the back of No Pixel’s 3.0 update (which launched last Friday) and the general popularity of role-playing on Twitch, GTA RP is back and bigger than ever. To wit: In March of 2019, at the height of the trend, GTA V peaked at 304,053 concurrent viewers. Last Sunday, it topped out at 438,350 concurrent viewers. Even yesterday, which wasn’t quite as much of a banner day as Sunday, still beat March 2019's high point by nearly 100,000 viewers.

[...]

The single greatest example of this dynamic is Burn, a streamer who’s spent the past several days role-playing as Keanu Reeves’ character from Cyberpunk 2077, Johnny Silverhand. Like Vader last time GTA RP blew up, Burn is this season’s breakout star. His pastiche is excellent; he nails Reeves’ schmaltzy yet believable intensity, turning even mistakes—like stabbing an ally—into excuses to rant about how he’ll stop at nothing to bring down “corpo scum.”

Burn dials everything about Reeves’ performance and Cyberpunk itself up to 11, liberally spitting phrases like “that’s cyber-fucked” in a perfect Keanu Reeves voice while somehow not breaking character to laugh about how ridiculous he sounds. In what is now his second most-popular clip of all time, Burn takes this joke to its (logical?) conclusion, telling a department of corrections officer the name of a person who can help him bring down the diabolical Arasaka corporation: Howard. The officer, another player, says he does not know Howard.

“You’ve never met Howard?” replies Burn, as Johnny. “What about...Howard Deez Nuts?”

“Oh my goodness,” says the officer, who walks away.

Burn then Burn makes his Johnny avatar turn and face the camera, as the distinctive Cyberpunk 2077 theme music suddenly swells.

“Yeah,” he says, using an emote to make it look like Johnny’s removing his sunglasses, “I’m Johnny Silverhand, and you just got cyber-punked.”

It is the dumbest shit I’ve seen in my life, and it made me laugh so hard that I’m sure my neighbors two floors up heard me.

Burn is not just Johnny Silverhand; he is Johnny Silverhand from the notoriously buggy video game Cyberpunk. This means that he, too, regularly glitches out, barking half-phrases over and over while using an emote to T-pose. It’s not exactly an original joke at this point, but what sells it are Burn’s execution and timing, as well as the game’s willingness to play along. No Pixel, after all, should not exist. It is unofficial and player-made, meaning that it, too, is prone to over-the-top comedic freakouts.

One of the most popular clips on all of Twitch in the past several days sees Burn crash a truck into a mailbox, at which point Lengyel, who was riding in back, goes flying out into the street.

“What the fuck?” Lengyel yells.

Burn begins to say “You cyber-fucked up, kid,” but cuts himself off and starts T-posing while saying, “You, you, you, you, you.”

“I think we broke him,” says Lengyel.

But then, without missing a beat, Burn resumes walking normally and moves to get back in the truck. “I’m perfectly fine,” he replies in a tone of venom-filled petulance. “Just get in the fucking car.” His character then sits down outside the car and floats in place. Burn set up the joke, but it was the game that delivered the punchline.

trying to figure out when ‘Camp Camp’ takes place

Warning: half way through this i think i started to lose my mind and get really tired and frustrated

Warning 2 (Edit): I sent this to my friend and she corrected me on a few things, so this post has been heavily edited, and as of editing i changed my default font to comic sans, so sorry if things are in comic sans

so the first episode came out in june 2016, but im not sure if thats when it takes place.

so we know it takes place during the three months of summer vacation, meaning it most likely starts in late may and ends in early august

but i dont care about that, i care about the year, i thought i’d start at the beginning when David was a campbell camper

(s2 e5 ‘Jasper Dies At The End’)

according to Jasper, the stars wars prequels had just been announced, we can assume that this happened when David was ten, seeing as he said he was a campbell camper “Just like yourselves!” to the ten year old campers

the star wars prequels were announced in 1997

that was 14 years ago to the events of the show, meaning it takes place in 2011

but something about that didn’t sit right with me, so i did some more research

in s3 e14 ‘Culture Day’ when Max calls Neil out on his fake Hanukkah he makes a reference to ‘Game Of Thrones’

‘Game of Thrones’ came out in.....2011

shmsjhsdfalkjadsfjkhl OKAY- well i did some more r e s e a r c h and in s1 e7 ‘Romeo and Juliet II: Love Resurrected’ David says he’d been framed after the agents look through what Max had looked up on his phone saying he was “Just like Steven Avery!”

Steven Avery is a character in a Netflix show called ‘Making a Murderer’

but that show came out in 2015!

however, my friend has informed me that Steven Avery is a real human person and his file was released in, you guessed it 2011!

in that same episode, its revealed that David has a Tinder account

Tinder was created in 2012

so i looked at the cultural reference tabs on the wiki  did some more research!

in s1 e8 ‘Into Town’, the graffiti on the flag David is wearing says ‘Campe Deez Nuts’

the deez nuts video was popularized in 2015, however the phrase has technically been around since 1992

the book ‘50 Shades of Gray’ is referenced on two different occasions, in s2 e10 ‘Space Camp Was a Hoax’ Gwen can be seen reading a book titled ‘50 Shades of  #808080′ 

#808080 is a color code for gray

and in s3 e8 ‘Something Fishy’ Gwen states that “[She’ll] just write [her] fanfic when [she’s] a housewife with too much time on her hands. Like that chick who wrote ‘50 Shades’”

guess what year that book was written- no dont it was 2011

IN ‘A Camp Camp Christmas, or Whatever’ MAX SAYS THAT HE ‘Expects a fidget spinner at best’ AFTER LEARNING DAVID’S GETTING EVERYONE GIFTS

(((i was too lazy to make a gif just trust me on this one)))

while fidget spinners were popular around 2017 they were made in 1993 so we’re going with that because its easier, screw you

in s3 e1 ‘The Fun-Raiser’ Neil makes a reference to bitcoin, dodgecoin, and ethereum

bitcoin was released in 2009:

dodgecoin, 2013:

ethereum, 2015:

HOWEVER, ethereum was proposed in 2013

my conclusion:

i think it takes place in 2013, it seems the most logical to me with all the references to the real world. and, coincidentally, its two years away from 2011 and 2015

let me know what you think! thats all from fif, bai! 🍓✨💖

HERE’S WHAT YOU MISSED THIS WEEK (11.27-12.3.19):

NEW MUSIC:

Rock out with 15 Years of Samurai Champloo!

15 years ago today, Samurai Champloo burst onto the anime scene. Its anachronistic mix of hip-hop aesthetic, chanbara action, and slick animation made it an instant classic. Director Shinichiro Watanabe has continued to bring his own unique vision to more and more titles since then, but the Edo-period piece remains his most down-to-earth yet... literally.

  As with anything Watanabe creates, a lot of different visionaries and inspirations contributed to the entire package. From classic Japanese artists to modern musicians, they're all a part of why we love Samurai Champloo. Today, as we look back on the decade and a half since (and forward to Watanabe's other work), we're taking a moment to investigate some of the individual assets that helped put together the bigger picture.

    As with anything Watanabe makes, we can only ever hope to scratch the surface when it comes to his collaborators and ideas. Any other favorite creators or themes you've noticed in the series? Let's keep the conversation rolling in the comments to celebrate the show's longevity!

  Music: Nujabes

  The late Jun Seba began his career in music as a record store owner, before kicking off his own indie label in 1998. By 2003 he was creating tracks under the name Nujabes, wowing crowds around the world with his nostalgic blends of hip-hop and jazz.

  Nujabes contributed an impressive number of tracks to the Samurai Champloo soundtrack, including the iconic opening theme "Battlecry" (a collaboration with Shing02). This was in addition to his own prolific output. Sadly, Seba's life was cut tragically short in a car crash in 2010. Several albums were released posthumously, and a massive concert was held this past February on the ninth anniversary of his passing.

  Head on over to Spotify for more music from Nujabes, including the full Luv(sic) Hexalogy.

  Music: Fat Jon

  Watanabe loves to come West to find musical talent for his projects, and Samurai Champloo was no exception. Another prolific contributor to the show's soundtrack was Ohio-born Jon Marshall, a.k.a. Fat Jon the Soul Physician. The rapper and producer is another major multitasker, serving as a member of Five Deez, 3582, Rebel Clique, and Beautiful Killing Machine.

  Fat Jon's many contributions to the Samurai Champloo soundtrack include "How You Feel" and "1st Samurai," the latter a collaboration with the aforementioned Nujabes. He's still making music to this day, which you can check out on his official website, ample soul.

  Music: Force of Nature

  Rounding out Samurai Champloo's Big 3 (or is that Big 4?) contributors—though by no means the last of the musicians attached to the project—are Force of Nature. The Japanese duo consists of KZA and DJ Kent, a duo bringing together their talents, unique styles, and massive vinyl collection together to create lo-fi beats to watch anime to.

  You'll recognize their sound in tracks like "Just Forget" and "Same Ol' Thing," blending calm vintage tracks with more modern dance and hip-hop beats. They also teamed up with Tsutchie (formerly of Shakkazombie, featured in Cowboy Bebop's Session XX) for the Samurai Champloo soundtrack album Masta.

Fans wanting more of Force of Nature will reach a dead end attempting to access their website... but their MySpace is still up and running with some sample tracks.

    Art: Kazuto Nakazawa

  Fans of Kill Bill will recognize Kazuto Nakazawa's style at work in Samurai Champloo. The artist pulled double duty as both character designer and chief animator, adding to the show's distinctive look and wild chanbara-inspired action scenes.

  Nakazawa's work on Kill Bill—the anime sequence depicting O-Ren Ishii's back story—premiered just one year prior to Champloo. In that same year, he did key animation for two short films in The Animatrix: "Kid's Story" and "A Detective Story." You'll also see his animation at work in the video for Linkin Park's "Breaking the Habit."

  Inspiration(?): Spike Spiegel

  Perhaps we should say "anti-inspiration," because Watanabe's goal was to create a character who was Spike Spiegel's polar opposite.

  The character of Mugen—the rude, reckless member of our lead trio—was dreamed up as Watanabe was working on the Cowboy Bebop movie, Knockin' on Heaven's Door. The idea was to create an antithesis to the space cowboy: where Spike was mature, capable, and cool, Watanabe wanted someone "young and a little stupid." We're not sure if he succeeded in making Mugen not cool, though... in spite of (or perhaps because of) his wild style, viewers love him.

  Funnily enough, Steve Blum served as the dub voice of both Spike and Mugen. 

  Inspiration: Historical Luminaries

  Samurai Champloo pulls a lots from Japan's Edo Period; but if you're looking for historical accuracy, you'll be either very disappointed or extremely confused. If the slew of R&B and hip-hop artists populating the soundtrack didn't already clue you in, the series loves anachronisms and prefers entertainment over accuracy.

  That's not to say you won't get a tiny bit of a history lesson as you watch. Take Fuu's unexpected modeling job for Hishikawa Moronobu, one of the first artists to popularize the style. (He may have taken some liberties with her likeness, but she sure didn't seem to mind!) They also have a run-in with Alexander Cartwright, the man credited by some with inventing the modern sport of baseball. Just be sure to take everything you see with a huge shaker of salt; we're guessing Cartwright didn't challenge random samurai to baseball games, though we could be wrong.

  What are your favorite things about Samurai Champloo? Let's keep celebrating in the comments!

First Snow

Anonymous asked: 17 on the christmas prompt list with albert x finch

17. “Do you wanna build a snow-“ “no don’t you dare finish that”

A/N: Albert, Finch, Crutchie, Elmer, Buttons, and Henry are all roommates in New Jersey. Crutchie really likes cooking. Jack lives in Manhattan (but visits often) and has a service dog to help with PTSD and anxiety. Her name is Molly and she isn’t fully trained, but they all love her to death (except Buttons, ‘cause he’s allergic.)

Albert and Finch were the only ones at home. Crutchie, Elmer, Buttons, and Henry had all taken Crutchie’s van into the city to go shopping for some decorations after the other ones got, uh, destroyed. It totally wasn’t Albert’s fault. Molly, Jack’s service dog in training, was just sneakier than he expected.

Albert was putting the finishing touches on his email to NYU, and checking over to see if it sounded professional enough. He really wanted to get accepted this year, instead of having to go to the community college again.

He took a break, rubbing his eyes and face. “I hate this so much.”

Finch snorted from his seat on the other side of the room. “So you’ve said.”

“Shut up.”

Albert sat for a few more moments, reading over the first paragraph three times. “Alright, fuck this I’m taking a break.”

“Have fun.”

Albert stood, putting his hands on his hips and arching his back. Several pops and cracks resounded throughout the room and Finch made a face. “How can you stand that?”

Albert smirked. “You’re just mad ‘cause you can’t do it.”

Finch shuddered. “I can assure you I am not.”

Albert did some stretches, kicking his legs out and taking giant steps around the room. He glanced at Finch’s laptop to see what he was doing, only to roll his eyes when he realized it was Tumblr. “Aren’t you supposed to be doing something productive?”

Finch spluttered. “I was! I was just - taking a break!”

“Mmm hmm.”

Finch slammed his laptop shut. “Know what? I’m hungry. I’m getting food.”

“An excellent idea, darling.”

“I know. I’m a genius.”

The two made their way into the kitchen, Albert throwing the fridge open while Finch looked through the cabinets.

“So, I’m no Crutchie, but what do you want?”

“Hmmm. Toast?”

“What kind?”

“Honey and avocado?”

“This is why we can’t afford a house.”

Finch snorted. “Yeah, that’s it. I’m sure it has nothing to do with student loans or how shitty the economy is. It is definitely because I enjoy avocado toast.”

“Or the fact that one of us is the Cortez heir and has thousands laying around, just waiting to be spent.”

Finch sighed. “Albert, we’ve talked about this-”

“I know, I know.”

Finch pulled bread down from the cabinet, and honey from the cupboard. Albert pulled out the avocado and some butter, setting them on the counter beside the loaf of bread. Finch placed the toaster on the counter and put two slices in.

Albert crossed over to the window. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room were closed and the curtains shut to help with the heating cost. It was December 12, and they still hadn’t had the first snowfall. Elmer swore up and down that he could smell the snow when he woke up that morning, but Crutchie’s leg disagreed. Of course, Elmer’s nose had never been wrong, and Crutchie’s leg was a finicky as the man himself.

Albert propped his elbows on the sink, looking out the kitchen window. Dark clouds had rolled up over the course of the day and made the day outside look as cold as it felt. As Albert was watching, a single snowflake fell from the sky.

“Finch! Snow!”

“Mm. Nice.”

“Finch! It’s snowing!”

“You said.”

Albert bent to find a plastic bowl from under the sink. “I will never understand how you don’t get excited about snow.”

“I will never understand how you do get excited about it every year.” But Albert hadn’t heard him, instead slipping and sliding back through the living room, flinging open the glass door that lead onto the balcony. Closing it behind him, Albert set the bowl on the table to collect some snow for snow ice cream. He leaned on the balcony, watching as snow fell and blanketed the city in a cover of white.

After a few minutes, enough snow had landed on his shoulders and melted into his shirt that he was beginning to feel the chill. He turned back to open the door, but it was locked.

He knocked on the door. “FINCH!”

Finch looked up from his seat on the couch, avocado toast hanging from his mouth. “Wa?”

“Let me in!”

“Nah.” He took the toast out.

“Finch!”

“Albert!”

Albert did his best attempt at puppy eyes, but Finch just laughed, picking up his phone and opening Snapchat. Albert knocked on the door four times in succession.

“Do you wanna build a snow -”

“NO! Don’t you dare finish that!!”

“THEN LET ME IN!”

“Fine!”

Finch put his phone down and opened the door.

“Frozen’s a good movie. I don’t understand why you hate it so much,” Albert said, pushing past Finch into the living room.

“I don’t hate Frozen, I hate how popular it became and how it over-inflated the market.”

“Ah yes, like Hamilton.”

“Hamilton is art.”

“So are DEEZ NUTS.”

Finch sighed and pinched his nose. “You’re ridiculous.”

“No, I’m Albert.”

Finch screamed in frustration as Albert laughed. It was weird, but it was their relationship. It was them, and neither would trade it for the world.

1/3 cup granulated sugar.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract, store-bought or homemade.
