Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Would you hug me? I'd hug me.  Let's talk about the week we just finished, my crowd!

 I had a really big, happy day on Friday. I got to go to Starbucks clone, get a haircut, get some new hand lotion that smells amazing, and even try some new foods!  But most of all, I have set things in motion to switch Phone/Internet/Cable services. Things are not looking as cheap as I thought, so I may have to settle for a downgrade in Internet speed. I'm not sure. Point is, things are in motion, and I'm a little nervouscited!

 But there have been some bits of bad news here and there.  Another family member passed away. It was a distant family member, not someone I'm super close to or anything, but it's still sad to hear. Also, my hair is thinning in the back. 👀 ...Okay. I mean, it's not really in a spot where you can tell, and it's not thinning by a HUGE amount. Even I wasn't aware when the stylist told me. So I'll probably forget. But if it does become a bigger thing when I get older, I'll have to look into clinical hair treatments. I don't want to gain a big bald spot on my head like my uncle.

 Let's talk about the foods I tried!  I got this Smores flavored drink at the coffee shop. It was good! I may go back there sometime since they have Pumpkin Spice now. I also tried Albanese brand Sour Gummy Bears. Y'all, this hits different. It's not just sour crystals on the outside, they have sour flavor baked into the gummies, so it's sour through-and-through. I swear, Grape was the most sour thing. Speaking of, they put TONS of different flavors in one bag. Last of all, the gummies are not super firm, they are jiggly and fun to eat. If you can ever splurge an extra dollar or so, pick these up, you will not be disappointed! Last of all, I got to try Mexican street corn. It was so good~! I don't usually have corn, not a fan of it, but I'd go back to this any time!

 On Saturday, there was some kind of holiday, and there were many theaters in America that were selling movie tickets for $3 only. While my mother and I did plan to go, we ultimately skipped. We realized there was no movie we were dying to see; and that we'd be going just to go. Holiday aside, they must have purposefully picked a good time for this, because there's no blockbuster hit movies out right now! If they had done this in the summer or winter, the lines/waiting time would be a mile long! But it's fine. No big loss for us. Just gave us more time to do other, important things. For me, I have more time to catch up on all the anime I missed, and I am making some good progress. Attack on Titan was disappointing, Shenmue was pretty good, and I am still enjoying Yashahime quite a lot!

 ReVice 49: A Drawn Out Goodbye.  This is it. The final moments. It's a delay of the inevitable. It's interesting, though. Just like ReVice has done so many times before, it did things I predicted, but also did other things that I didn't predict. Before this episode, I predicted Ikki and Vice might leave, relying only on each other and whatever the future holds. They did leave, I just wasn't expecting them to actually inform their family, let alone did I expect to see Ikki job hunting. I expected to see Vice pretend to be a villain to reverse the effects of Ikki's memory loss, but he isn't trying to kill himself, he's just trying to make their contract null and void. I almost wish they didn't drag this out to one last episode...

 ReVice 50: Conquering Your Vice!  It's an ending that is done beautifully and also kind of cold. We have a final send off moment, but instead of fighting a final boss at base form, the base form and basic upgrades are used for one last moment of fun between Ikki/Revi and Vice before they have to say goodbye. Ikki sure has made a huge family. In the end, Ikki gets what he always wanted, a happy ending where everyone can smile and relax at the bathhouse, and maybe he has inherited a little of Vice's spirit after all. But unlike other shows that try to end on a hopeful message, they don't try to bring Vice back or even hint at it. They show us how there are no photos of Vice, no hint of his ghost, and no clues that he might return after all. We get many things, but not that. It's sad knowing that his brother and sister get to keep their demons, but as the show says, there is nothing wrong with either of these scenarios. Just means you're at different parts of your life. Some are growing, some have grown up, but we all need to make peace with our inner demons and live the fullest life we can.

 So, my final thoughts on the TV series Kamen Rider ReVice... I loved this show. From Zero One, to Saber, and now ReVice. I am happy to see that the first three shows of the Reiwa era have only been getting better and better! ReVice ended up being many things; a fun ride, a tale of suspense, tragedy and hope, a collection of many surprise plot twists, a story about self-discovery and making peace with who you are, and a coming of age story at the end. Truly this series has something for everyone, and it does so in such a sincere way that it tugs at the heart strings episode after episode. Some may compare Ikki/Revi and Vice's dynamic to that of Ryuta and the Imagins from Kamen Rider Den-O. It's been too long and I saw Den-O under a less-than-favorable translation, but I honestly don't think it's fair to compare. I've seen people who love Den-O end up hating ReVice, so the same is probably true the opposite way. If you hated Den-O, you might like ReVice instead. I like it because it gave me the story and character development I wanted to see when I was watching Den-O. Not that I want to imply one show is inferior, they did different things. I am just saying that for me, this brought things to an even more personal and sentimental level that I had always been looking for. No offense to Den-O and it's success, but I'd rather have 1 Vice than a bunch of Imagins any day. This show was great. I loved it from beginning to end; and I was afraid I might not. The only problem is that this sets a high bar of expectation for what's next. Good luck, Geats.

 Sadly, I won't be watching Geats right away.  Sadly, just like with ReVice when it began, there is now a sub war going on in the fansub community to see who will sub Kamen Rider Geats and who will stick with it. So far, only 3 groups have stepped up to sub the first episode, and I have reservations about all of them. I wish Over-Time, the best in the community, would step up and sub it, but they may be done with Kamen Rider. I have my 2nd choice picks, but we'll have to see what happens in the coming weeks. May the best fansub group win.

 DonBrothers 26: Don Bother.  Yawn. A recap episode, and they don't even advance the story, they just play it up for jokes. Lame. Skip this episode; it's not worth watching.

 MLP TYT 26: Pup & Stuff.  Not much to say here. Dog goes missing, and everyone comes together to find it. Solid filler episode. Nothing super exciting happens, but there's no bad writing or immersion-breaking either. Surprised that dog is still alive after eating soap; so I am guessing this magical creature is just built different. It almost made Hitch look dumb, but I think it was just a brain-fart moment for him. Even the episode itself tries to paint it as such. However, Zipp shows that she really does have detective skills through and through. And Pipp manages to really show the benefits of an online following! Way to go, ladies.

hat's all for now, my crowd.  Take care, and check your wires.

Ever wanted to know more about vintage anime giant robots? Ever wanted societal context for the super robots, real robots, and so on? Something that is balanced and well researched? Well here is the perfect video for you! I certainly appreciated learning about this stuff. This is "The REAL History of 70s SUPER Robots" by MercuryFalcon.

Here’s to hoping the forum upgrade fixes things.  
 

I haven’t made an update in awhile.  
 

My weekend was lovely. I went to EverfreeNW and it was lovely.  Best con experience I’ve ever had, and even got to talk to my favorite brony musician (4everfreebrony)

I also had two drunk women shut the elevator on me at the hotel so I couldn’t get in with them cause I had pony plushies and they thought I was a creep cause of that.  They literally ran to the elevator when they saw me,  and pushed the button over and over again.  
 

Hope everyone has been doing good lately.

Morning

I'm missing a lot of users right now.

It has been feeling pretty empty around here lately even before things like school starting etc. 

I know  they'll be back soon/someday but I still miss seeing My Friends. 

              It's patty

olol

my pony friends just got married and I have got the cutest card for them :3

only problem is I've only just bought it and I already can't wait to tell them about it  

Heya, finally weekend

Good morning everypony.  How's it going? 

Happy Friyay to all! 

Good morning everypony! How has  your week been going so far? Mine has been pretty great, though it's had its ups and downs for sure. I choose to focus on the upsides though. What fun is life if you don't grab those opportunities to smile as they come by. Let's all do that today, catch those opportunities to smile, hold onto them, and share them with friends and everyone around you. And here's the first one of the day... it's Friday!

Happy Friday everypony! 

I think I'll go back to posting pictures here...
