#babble
remind me to post my ren faire getup because i feel Very Cool in it

nothing says “urgent care” like board shorts, the flipflops you take the trash out in, someone else’s flannel, and a journey tshirt you cut the sleeves and neck off of for pajamas
nothing says delicacy when you have a sore throat like applesauce slushie
its applesauce and ice in the blender with enougjt water to make it drinkable it is so warm today and i am beplagued. this is healing me
wait you know what i feel awful and it is hot as hell and I have applesauce and ice and a blender. I’m going to make this, I’ll be back
it does not have. like. any flavor. i am drinking this for pain and temperature ONLY godspeed maybe throw some green grapes n cucumber or sliced apple in there if you have them
I have apples I’ll do that. will update you
okay this is. Really fucking good thank you so much. I had to search for my blender for ten minutes (it was on top of the fridge) and I was a little worried bc the only applesauce I had was the cinnamon kind but it worked, it worked so well and my mood has improved by like. a good 70%. I owe you my life and I mean this genuinely
FUCK YEAH always glad to share a treat :D it does take the edge off
nothing says delicacy when you have a sore throat like applesauce slushie
Yep, I’ll put them under spoilers, but I’ve been ruminating on Mei’s observations last chapter.
Of course it’s interesting to me that Mei picks out Eijun and Miyuki working together to try and bring him down. But I think he’s maybe…wrong.
I don’t think Eijun and Miyuki alone are trying to bring down Mei. I think the whole Seidou team are working together to try and bring down the whole Inajitsu team.
There’s been a lot of connection in this game. Furuya gave up the mound to Eijun without complaint, just as one example. They all understand that the rival here is Inajitsu, not each other. I don’t ever feel like Inajitsu play to connect with each other, or really build momentum. They all play to show off. So I can understand Mei’s interpretation, I’m just not convinced he’s right about it.
The only Inajitsu player I think who understands ‘team’ is Itsuki. It’s interesting because it’s that fact which means Mei can do what he does.
Next week is the Inajitsu battery vs Miyuki, according to the end note. So it will go to Miyuki’s at-bat. But I wonder if it’s that simple. I don’t really feel like Inajitsu’s players talk tactics in the dugout in the way Seidou do. (Even at the Tokyo senbatsu, it was Miyuki who was giving out tactics in the dugout, so). So I think it might be Inajitsu battery vs Miyuki, but I won’t rule out what Miyuki’s already taken on board from watching Mei and the others playing as individuals. I think it will depend a lot on whether Itsuki can hold things together.
It’s strange to think how long it was since season 1 of T&B. Even though I didn’t watch it when it came out, it just doesn’t feel like there’s been a lapse or a major change in style between the original 2011 series and the new.
I’m going to babble, but under tags in case people either don’t care or don’t want to be spoilered. Because I love this series, the babble may be long and rambly. Read at own risk.
Tiger and Bunny
What do I say about these guys. I adore their partnership. I love how Barnaby can go into a sulk over Tiger drinking his drink and yet they still perfectly coordinate to take out a villain. I love them being awkward ‘senpai’ to the others in the teaming up department. I love how Barnaby is no longer so easy to sway on Tiger’s loyalty. I love that Barnaby has filled his house with plants and that he talks to them constantly. I just love the two of them. Nuff said really. Though their partnership has clearly evolved, it’s a beautiful thing. And of course, now Kaede knows everything, it’s like Barnaby is part of her family, too. Not that I’m suggesting anything. Even though sometimes I think the animators are, when they have Tiger say things like, ‘yeah, we’re friends, but it’s not just that’…
Also, it’s absolutely not at all suspicious that Tiger has his wedding photo, his picture of him, his wife and Kaede as a baby, and then a picture of him, Barnaby and Kaede lined up on his shelf together in that order. Like, not at all.
Ryan and Blue Rose
So in the movie, I wasn’t really sure what to make of Ryan. He didn’t seem like a bad guy, but he also seemed a bit full of himself. However I really like his character in season 2. Getting a bit of backstory, seeing his insecurities as he works out his partnership with Blue Rose, and also him getting on Subaru’s case over Barnaby’s reasons for becoming a hero…I feel like he really fitted into the team well now and he belongs. Karina is still hung up on Tiger but she does seem more mature this season. She still has the towel though. Nice detail linkup there from season 1, as was the stalker guy.
Origami Cyclone and Rock Bison
Bison is always a bro, even if he doesn’t get the highest results. He and Kotetsu have a great friendship and it’s fun to see him in this role all the time anyway. But I love his really clunky partnership now with Origami. I loved Origami anyway, he’s really evolved since the start of season 1.
Mr Black and He Is Thomas
Who on earth decided that second name. It may win the most ridiculous hero name and it’s up against some big competition. I actually quite like both Subaru and Thomas although they need to learn to communicate, both with others and each other. I feel like at the end of the cour they may be getting there. Thomas’ past is so sad but the point where the couple take advantage of him is worse somehow. I hope he finds his sister. It’s also weird because although I’ve heard Shimozaki Nobunaga voice umpteen characters, this one sounds THE MOST like Furuya of all of them.
Magical Cat and Dragon Kid
I don’t have strong feelings about Kid as a character, I think she’s fine. I think Cat needs to give her mother a stern talking to, but seriously, what is a fourteen year old girl doing out fighting bad guys anyway? And that it’s Cat that impales the warp guy at the end. Ouch. That’s a pretty big deal burden. I don’t hate Cat but she probably needs to be more useful. The cutesy magical girl thing doesn’t really work for me. I prefer Blue Rose, even if she does have adolescent attitude problems ;)
Fire Emblem and Sky High
These two as a partnership amuse me. There’s a lot of Fire Emblem’s background in the movie which kind of makes me view them in a more informed light. Up to this point I might’ve said ‘she’, based on season 1, but after the movie, I now feel like ‘they’ is the correct pronoun here. Fire is really smart, Sky High is…not. But he is genuine and earnest and they do work together well. Sky High admitting his own personal failings - he hates celery! - was also cute.
Lunatic
…I kind of don’t understand the lack of Lunatic as Lunatic in this season, mind you. Especially since Yuri has been given particular responsibility overseeing the hero system in its new form. In fact, Barnaby and Tiger using him as a sounding board, and especially Barnaby telling him some pretty personal stuff about his feelings since Maverick’s downfall is a bit ironic. I was surprised he didn’t get involved in the conflict with the twins, but spent the whole of the first part of the season simply as Yuri and not as Lunatic. Lunatic did get mentioned in front of him a few times, and he did burn some notes…but that’s all. Is he giving up his vigilante side to be a proper judicial overseer instead? I don’t know how I feel about that - maybe he’s been converted to heroes as an entity after all. I thought his inclusion in the movie was basically pointless and jarred with his efforts to help Tiger escape Maverick’s web in season 1. Maybe him pulling back from his vigilanteeism is good continuity for that. I don’t know, though. I kind of missed him. Maybe in part 2, if it comes in the autumn?
Barnaby’s friend Mattia…
Who I spent the whole series being a bit suspicious of, seems to be an innocent guy caught up in bad stuff. I guess it’s good for Barnaby to have an actual friend that isn’t a superhero or a plant. So I’m fine with it.
And the ending…
Well. I can see Ryan’s going to have some more unpleasant things to deal with in the second part of this series. I really hope it genuinely is coming in the autumn.
