I guess the adventure is over. After all, The Detective is Already Dead.

iirc, in Australia this was only shown on free tv at around 1am. So, that sucked. Else I really wanted to check it out.

The Assassination of a High School President is a fun neo noir comedy, too.

Pretty much going allll the way back to the first arc. >.>
But yeah I enjoyed it until the time-skip, then it goes up and down until I just gave up.

Ok. Just doesn't seem fair to call it weird. (Unless you're referring to some of the more sexual parts of the fandom)

The sequel is pretty great, too, but suffers from being fucked over by Nickelodeon, most clearly in season 2. But you'll still enjoy it overall.

Give it a try. It's cute, funny, and has some great messages. I've only seen a few episodes but it's really nice that a show that teaches important lessons on friendship and health is available to all ages. Especially when some of those lessons are things you wouldn't pick up until a teenager or young adult.

I don't see how they're the same as having Yhwh in a sci-fi story with multiple pantheons.

Any good story recs that deal with multiple pantheons including yhwh? Only one I can think of off the top of my head is Doing God's Work, which I haven't gotten around to, yet. (besides DC)

Reply to comment by HaikuBotStalksMe in [EU] as the first gym leader, you'd had enough of going easy on challengers only for them to brag and act tough afterwards. And so, for the upcoming gym season, you decided to make it harder with your best pokemon. Is it uncustomary? Probably. But is it breaking the rules? Only one way to find out. by nohopeforhumanity666
Ah, that's where the author of Pokemon: The Origin of Species got it from.
I think the gym leaders in that fanfic also modify their pokemon/strategies based on the number of attempts you've made.

Reply to What are some techniques used in books that you just love for some weird reason by shorttompkins
When I was 11 or 12 my friend introduced me to Max Barry through his book Jennifer Government.
Over the next few years I'd read Max Barry's works as I found them/as they were released and I ended up adopting his writing style to a small extent because I found it easy and enjoyable.
I would employ em-dashes for asides or to separate clauses, I would make my writing conversational and, most notably, I would use sprinkle in short sentences and paragraphs. Some of my paragraphs would just be one sentence, I liked how it looked and flowed.

Did you colour the wig to have that white line as if it's reflecting the light like the anime? That's a level of detail I for some reason did not expect..

I think the general perception of tim Burton is he did a lot of great great things in the 20th century. Not much in the last decade or so.
EsquilaxM t1_ixvu5kf wrote
Agreed. Jenna Ortega killed the role. Making the dance herself?? So much respect for the work out in. Insists on doing her stunts, too.
The series overall is just ok, but her performance elevates the whole thing because she's just a delight to watch.
I read/watched a couple.interviews, turns out they filmed out of order. And so she went back and forth between directors, because Burton only directed the first four. So sometimes the other directors would tell her to portray herself differently and she had to figure out how to insist to them to keep things consistent.

Kinda reminds me of Shane (or Sean?) from SuperPowereds in that his power is perfect for surgically killing/maiming but inside he's a gentle guy.
