So the line about 'cutting his arm off before he could shoot' from the opening was a throwback to their first meeting...

The sister's name is Alana.

Ahh the LP player made a mistake again whyyy. 😭

Lmao Luke cuffed him and Beast together to stop Beast from running off rashly. 😂

If Beast hadn't been convinced after Luke's speech about saving Alana and not losing family no one could've been.

So when Beast refuses to tell Luke his name, Luke can pick from these as nicknames:

-Luke No. 2

-Kitty

-Partner




It would've been hilarious to see his reactions to the first two. The LP player chose 'aibou/partner' but apparently that was the wrong answer, maybe you were supposed to tease him with 'Kitty' since he calls Luke 'Doggy'.

In any case, he did reveal his name as 'Aaron', though that's still apparently not his real name.



This happened after Aaron was chosen to deal with a situation, too funny. 😂

The bar scene where Luke acts out being a big fan of Kaitou Beast!!! And Aaron's reaction! Waait does Luke not know Aaron is Beast??

If picking the wrong answer lead to this I'm okay with it: Aaron punching the detectives is all of us, the players, sick of their bullshit. I've only seen two detectives worth anything and that's Luke and his father. Oh, and the guy who was with Luke at the funeral.

Luke picked their infiltration clothes but did he mean for Aaraon to wear the collar so open like that? 👀😆

...So the boss' actual name is AZIN and he made it sound Japanese with Eijin.. Am I right in thinking it's supposed to make you think of 'Asian', and his rapping and style in general, maybe he's doubly appropriating??

The way Aaron talks really is amusing. It's worse than Bakugou.

A third party sent that email that got Luke to help, Aaron was really going to go in all alone. Luke really helped with all the planning, Aaron was mainly good for the blunt force stuff;;

Seems like Aaron has decided to trust Luke, he's telling him about DISCARD wanting the 'chip'. He and his sister are from ハスマリー (I have no idea how this is written in English), a country in the Southern continent that's had ongoing conflict since ancient times. Years ago a research facility blew up there, but recently it came to light that there was a chip containing the previously thought lost research data - inside of the famous gemstone currently in the news. DISCARD found out Kaitou Beast was sending money and supplies to Ajito, the hideout that Alana is the 'surrogate mother for the kids' at. They kidnapped her to use her as bait.

Luke trying so hard to convince himself that Aaron isn't Kaitou Beast. 😅

Luke got Aaron to laugh his head off, cute! (Even if it was at Luke's expense hahah.)

I bet Luke got that bracelet Aaron stole from his dad? I'm glad he gave it back, though he did lecture him;; I think Luke is growing on him.

Uh-oh, the two are the suspects now?



Holy shit this scene was insane. The message over the radio about the suspects started off with some really eerie music and then Alana went crazy attacking them with crazy strength! She was clearly being controlled but WTF, how?!

...The punches keep coming. The same mark that was on Alana's neck was on his father's, meaning DISCORD got a hold of him somehow. T_T And it seems the guy at the funeral knew? I wonder if Luke can contact him?

Well, Luke's in custody, Aaron escaped with Alana... Aaron used あばよ, what a classic farewell...for now.

I'm worried if the LPer I'm watching will do the side-content, there's buddy episodes and side-stories plus a drama cd...

4x11:

Kyle protecting Lonnie from Catra - he's gotten braver. :')

And Glimmer wants to force Adora to be this weapon, would she change her mind if she saw how much Adora doesn't want it?

Aww Entrapta's smile and blush. I hope it sticks this time, I want to see her happy with research and friends.

Oop, Double Trouble spilled the beans about Entrapta. Oh damn, Hordak's crying.

Did I know Double Trouble and Glimmer were working together now?



4x12:

Lmao at Scorpia's obliviousness. "I don't remember it looking like this, but it has been a while since I was here."

And Kyle's group leaving. Hope they'll be okay.

Welp, Scorpia connected to her crystal.

So Light Hope is the one who brought Adora there, not Hordak?!

Well Adora managed to stop the weapon but now Horde Prime is here.



5x1:

I feel like the princesses should've lost their power but what do I know.

Aww Swift Wind and Scorpia getting along, I'm happy for them. :')

Can't Horde Prime just look into Catra's memory to learn about the weapon?

Just what are those visions Adora is having??



5x2:

Even with being so exhausted, it's a miracle Adora can sleep through Entrapta's shenanigans. I wonder what fandom's feelings on Entrapta are? (I thought this episode did a good job showing her different sides.)

It's too sad to think of all the destroyed civilizations thanks to Horde Prime. T_T

I think if Mermista wants Entrapta to understand her than she needs to at least stop calling her passions by derogative names...

Aww Swift Wind and Adora saying goodbye. And Micah staying behind but saying 'see you soon baby girl'. 😭

Both Catra and Glimmer's only comfort is their enemy and it's complicated by each of their hangups. 😟 But for a moment, they comfort each other the best they can through the prison panel...

Used my manga TBR boardgame.

I finished 4/4 on my last board, it went mostly okay. In a 'let's just see what happens' mood for this one lol

Skill: Re-draw prompt once

Roll #1:

An 11. Prompt: gender bender. I usually chose Ame Nochi Hare for this prompt but I'm reluctant... I'll pick a oneshot from my to read list: A Story About a Boy Scouted to Be a Model.

Roll #2:

A 6 aand the trap tile. I think I've become desensitized to it lol. Went back, re-rolled, got a 3. Prompt: enemies to lovers, interesting. Huh, why is Shugo Chara! tagged that way? I thought I read that Ikuto isn't endgame. Oh well, I'm taking it!

Roll #3:

Another 3, generate from CR tile, hoo boy. I spent way too long on this one, it was 820 and that was one in a part of series that I apparently haven't written about before though I thought I did so I searched around... Whatever, this is one of those 'completionst' moments for me and not necessarily 'the series is good': Fujisaki Kou's 'Kemono' series. I've read two parts of them but will be rereading.

Roll #4:

A 6, prompt: geikomi. The oneshot Akuma no Kare.

Roll #5:

A 9, prompt: collection of stories/anthology. I don't know what happened here but it says I stopped at 6/7 for 'Renai Nenrei' so I guess I'll reread/finish it??
Roll #6:

An 11 and the end. The physical BL manga this time is Alcohol, Shirt and Kiss. I rated it low even the first time I read it so this should be interesting...

I also moved a bunch of stuff back to the to-read list since I'll need to reread them anyway (waited too long).

Most looking forward to: Renai Ninrei, since it's Naono Bohra?
Least looking forward to: Alcohol, Shirt & Kiss
