Amity bailed on that presentation waay too fast! Thanks for the excuse to get out of there

Also, Camila and Vee, rather than putting buckets in the sink, you should probably start by turning off the water

YOU, reader! Pop quiz! Do you know how to do turn off the water if YOUR sinks turns into a water fountain? Don’t wait until that happens to go looking, now’s a good time to double check!

At least in the US, you’ll probably have two shutoffs under your sinks, one each for hot and cold water. Toilet shutoffs are also pretty easy to find. Bathtubs/showers can be a bit trickier, you might not be able to turn those off directly. Do you know where the shutoff is for your entire house/unit? Some leaks like to be annoying and happen in the middle of the wall

While you’re at it, why not double check your smoke alarms and fire extinguishers if you haven’t done so in a while. Yeah, fire extinguishers need to be checked. See that little needle on there? Make sure its still in the green, or you might have to recharge it to make sure it still has enough pressure to actually extinguish fires

I mean, I don’t think death is possible in the Circus, but go ahead, please do try! It’ll be fun to watch!

(Also, could you please add the artist mention to the title too? It doesn’t have to be exactly the same formatting I use, just mention UncannyVilla somehow. Thanks!)

It will leave you wishing there was a full third season, but in a good way

Even though the writers/producers were dealt a bad hand, that didn’t stop them from making an excellent finale. If you felt the pacing pick up a bit in the latter half of season 2, you’ll still feel that here, and they didn’t get to neatly wrap up all the storylines, but it was a brilliant result imo. You should definitely watch it!

(also take note of the first word of the three episodes 😉)

Uh oh, I think the Lemmy communities are collapsing in on themselves! I just left !digital_circus, but it’s still here!

The tall one (don’t think they have names, right?) gives me more Zooble vibes than Jax though. But they’re also a bit harder to do a cosplay of, so I guess matching-tall-with-tall it is

Welp, it was nice knowing you, Skiney! Good thing you left enough DNA behind on your palisman staffs for the grimwalkers

(Seriously curious how Mark’s gonna have them get out of this though. This ain’t no simple puppetry, this is the stuff that made Luz say “Mama Eda, I don’t feel so good.” Heck, even The Collector struggled against it. And it doesn’t seem like anyone came through for them last second…)

Hey! Hunter might not be a leading runway model, but you do not mess with the wolf pants!

Giraffes were banished to the Human Realm for their untold crimes on the Isles. Platypuses just went for vacation and found such a nice spot they decided to settle down permanently

Well, this just got interesting. Looks like our rescue party will need a rescue party for their own

Honestly not reading a lot off of the community posts, a few small hints yeah, but nothing really significant to look forward to. I’m much more interested in the teaser and music preview (linked above). Going into the episode, I still stand by my thoughts I shared on the music preview post

WeirdAlex03, 19 days ago

After watching:

• Called it! I misplaced the music cue from the preview, but I’m giving myself a pat on the back for putting Pomni abstracting as just a dream/nightmare used to open the episode
• A little surprised there was no opening theme here though, I was looking forward to seeing how the original was going to be revised to replace Kaufmo with Pomni
• Interesting that Bubble (and by extension probably also Caine and all the other NPCs/AIs) can swear normally; only the human characters have that diegetic filter
• I take it Gangle is destined to immediately have her comedy mask broken at the start of every episode, and for Ragatha to be injured in some way?
  • And Jax throws an aside glance to the camera and Pomni gets separated from the others in the climax
  • And apparently the theme will be remixed for the final emotional moment of the episode
• Wow Jax is just an absolute asshole this episode! I wonder if this was meant to counter all the Jax love from Episode 1?
  • Though we do see at the end of the episode he was sad for Kaufmo for just a split second before catching himself and acting annoyed again – it’s clear this whole thing was just supposed to be a distraction for him and it obviously wasn’t distracting enough.
• On that note: overall a much different tone to the pilot here, really putting the “psychological dark” in “psychological dark comedy” here
• Really nice how Pomni got some character development here, being able to open up more with Gummigoo and seeing from the funeral that the other cast members actually care about each other and revising the abstraction nightmare to have them all reach out and grab her
• RIP Gummigoo 😭
  • So Caine absolutely confused a human for an NPC at one point and brutally murdered them in such a terrible way that even he feels remorse … such emotion with so little face…
• Almost no Zooble at all this episode! We could guess from the teasers that they were skipping the adventure again, but I expected at least a B plot with them “hanging out” with Caine in the circus
• I will say there were a few times where the voice acting felt just a little off, but overall it was still very good, especially in the more emotional scenes

In the end: looking forward to episode 3! (and rewatching this plenty more times along the way)

So it’s the ancient Roman blacksmith’s version of Benchy. Got it

Finally had time to back and finish up the Display Links formula, thanks for keeping up with the comics! Google Sheets only lists all links in the cell when you click on it, not the specific link you click on, put the formatting does looks good on the cells. Also Lemmy links are now all run through lemmyverse.link to redirect to everyone’s preferred instance

While dropping in the last few days of comics, I realize we don’t have a Timeline tag for timeskip-era when Luz and Amity are adults but not part of an ongoing storyline. It looks like you’ve just been calling those Post Finale? That might need a little review

Contrast also calls our character listing into question now too. I’m find with listing everyone seen, even in cameos, but what if they’re completely unseen, with no dialogue, but explicitly confirmed to be in the area?

Anyway, next I’ll (hopefully quickly) concatenate the full list of characters into one cell for the Display page, then start building out the Locations section on Data

WeirdAlex03, 2 days ago

I suppose it would be best to use “Next generation” (or maybe change the name to “Adults/Next gen” so that it covers both), as they are theoretically the same time period.

Yeah good point. We already have enough ambiguity for Human Realm stuff between before or after S3 (unless Hunter is seen), we don’t need to think about or draw a line between before or after Ayzee. The Storyline tag can cover that

I’d say no, because that opens a huge can of worms.

Agreed. We’ll just leave those to mentions in the Synopsis.

Tagging only characters that physically appear in the page will also be useful to run some stats on chars appearances after we’re done! I’d be really curious to see the results of a list of chars sorted by number of appearances.

Yeah that’ll be fun! I think the next step after filling out locations will be a general contributing guidelines/notes to explain stuff like Timeskip=>Adult/Next Gen and how we distinguish before/after S3 in the Human Realm (how do we do that? just assume one or the other unless its obvious?). That can then become the main source of data for Series/Timeline/Storyline options, and I can add extra stats there

In other news, Chars and Locs and now listed on the main page, because we now have the start of location data! Same format for both. Haven’t bothered sorting locs yet as we figure out what we’ll need
