This is a blog that focuses on Nico Robin, One Piece, and other series. I do RP's. When all I want is to learn of a history, there are too many enemies within my dream.

A-Team Military Uniforms

One of these things are not like the others! So through the series of the A-Team we see our boys (sorry Murdock, I know you don’t like anyone referring to them as such) wear their former uniforms in a VERY limited capacity. By that I mean Murdock only wears his uniform once, in A Nice Place to Visit while the others wear it in both that episode and during their Court Martial in Trial by Fire. Now I’m not claiming to be an expert in military uniforms, especially those from Vietnam era. Seriously, the only experience I have with military uniforms from that time is looking at my grandfather’s uniform. However I do want to look at the four members uniforms and go over various parts of them. After all a military dress uniform is almost like wearing your resume on your chest. I thought I would take a stab at looking at some of our favorite characters through the series in their spiffy uniforms.

COL Rodrick Decker

COL/LTC John ‘Hannibal’ Smith

MAJ Ray Brenner

CPT H.M. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock

1LT Templeton ‘Face’ Peck

SFC Basco Anthony ‘B.A.’ Baracus

Each of these go into detail with the uniforms. However I would like to point out that while Hannibal, Face, and B.A. are all Special Forces, it is VERY VERY obvious that Murdock is NOT

Watching The Sheep Detective again, and I’m stuck on the part where Mopple is talking to Lily about the butcher coming for them. Because Mopple will remember if Lily chooses to forget, and yet he says that if Lily and the rest follow ‘we’ll all die’. He won’t leave his flock. He implies he will follow the rest into the slaughterhouse and die alongside them because they are his flock!!! Like why?!?!

I find Death in Doctor Who such an interesting character

Death isn’t in a whole lot of stories but they are really fascinating. They seem to have a particular interest in The Doctor and the Master, and other beings associated with Death like to say they follow the Doctor or shadow them.

In Time’s Champion, we see one idea was for Time to want to claim the Doctor as their champion but Death tries to do the same. In the audio ‘Master’, Death is looming to make a deal with the Doctor. Death would of course be fascinated with a being that causes so much death and saves so many lives at the same time. One who has cheated Death so many times.

Today I rewatched Enemy of the Bane from the Sarah Jane Adventures.

First I gotta say, when I first watched this I hadn’t not seen Classic who and wasn’t very sure who Sarah Jane’s friend was. I only figured out who he was supposed to be after he mentioned Peru and recalled the mention of him in Sontaran Experiment/Poison Sky. On the other hand, having seen Classic Who and having come to love the Brigadier, I was so happy to see him! And the fact he got to meet Luke alongside Clyde and Rani was fantastic!

As for the actual episode. The set up was rather believable. The fact that we already established the Bane kill failures, that now they were hunting her for her failure, and that she was reaching out to Sarah Jane for help. Yet Sarah Jane keeps a healthy skepticism of her. I also loved Clyde and Rani’s reactions to the Bane.

Luke definitely takes a heavy focus in this story, as Wormwood is his creator but Sarah Jane is his mother. I loved the moment where Clyde was able to connect with him as a biological parent, or an equivalent of such, has put them through the worst experience they had. And that they didn’t have an obligation to that parent but instead the one that stood by them.

The whole debate with UNIT was great too. Because I love classic UNIT but I’m not a fan of them so much in modern who. Sarah takes a very similar stance to them as the Doctor. She believes they can be useful and do some good things but they will just as often attempt to use violence to solve the problem and create even worse problem. She also knows they have taken a more dangerous look at aliens in recent years and she won’t risk Luke. Once Kate takes over, UNIT seems to take a stance closer to her father’s approach. All that said, I was fairly glad the MAJ wasn’t actually part of UNIT.

Kaagh was probably the most annoying part of the story. He kinda came out of nowhere and his comments about women were very grating (compare him to Strax for example just makes him look even more annoying and frustrating). But, and maybe this is because of Classic, I always love stories of Sarah facing off with Sontarans. I kinda wish she could have met Strax. That would have been funny.

good omens hq letter from Crowley:

Your order was getting in my way in the bookshop so I've put them in a box and miracled them to you.

Honestly it's time that could be better spent enjoying a glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape or working out how ducks work

Or dolphins

Or angels for that matter

What was I saying? Oh yes, ducks

It's terribly important you give them peace pease peas because bread is... something.

I was a duck once, briefly. You have to move your legs a lot more than you'd think just looking at the top 80% of the duck, and duck politics are very convoluted you'd never guess from looking at them, they're all twisty just like a duck's, well never mind but anyway... And that thing about ducks quacks not echoing is total codswallop you can't trust a duck politically but you can trust an echo, ducks are just as echoey as other birds, just politically over-ambitious

Why are there so many Jeffery Archer novels in here? I can understand why people don't want them but what possible reason does the angel have to hold onto tehm it's a contraducktion i don't even have bread anyway

I don't have a duck

I might get a duck and call him Terry

A.C.

I was watching the credits for Toy Story 5 in the theater and I actually gasped at one point because Sammy the Lizard.

In the movie when Woody notes Sammy was bigger, the other toys express that it's Sammy 2. Forky, thinking Woody doesn't understand the implications, explains that Sammy died and was replaced so Bonnie wouldn't notice.

In the credits, the 2 is covered up by a 3!!! Sammy 2 died?!?!?! And is replaced by Sammy 3. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, please stop giving Bonnie lizards!!!!

[sollunaastra]

Oh ok just the GOmens HQ making me feel my own feelings no big deal

They also included a lil free bookmark and now I’m crying thanks

And finally the stuff I actually bought

The stickers are SO SHINY irl and the pins are lovely quality

I’m so glad I managed to get stuff from the pride collection tbh, it’s hard to overstate how much the joyful queerness of this show, season’t 3 not included bc who cares about THAT, means to me, even after NG rubbed his grubby nihilistic hands all over my favourite ineffables.

[starmaker-astral]

Im crying it's perfect 😭🤍 and the bad french omg.

(This is what you get with your order from the shop)

[5thhorsemnftheapocalypse]

My Good Omens Hq package just arrived, it came with this very cool and mysterious letter.

The french reads "do not come to the bookshop".

The actual postcode in the letter is a dentist in Soho :)

[starmaker-astral]

That letter is insane ??

(Pic from bluesky)

Drunk Crowley, handling orders for Aziraphale (so domestic omfg), talking about ducks and how to feed them properly, the lil sketch with "A.C" on a poorly printed letter hastily scribbled next to an overfilled wine glass, and crying (??)

"I was a duck once" Duck Crowley and its canon

This is the BEST letter I've ever read

Please I need to know how to get it

Critical Role C1 E29 // The Legend of Vox Machina S1 E7

I know ‘Time’s Champion’ is unlicensed but I loved it so much!!! Especially as a Benton fan! It takes place on his 70th birthday (given as January 6, 2008 in this book) and he gets to go on adventures to Gallifrey, to future, and to the past as the Doctor’s companion!!!

First, I loved that the Brig, Mike, Jo, and Sarah Jane all came to his birthday

He got to meet Romana, K9, Mel, and the Valeyard.

Benton got complimented a lot all through the book, which is especially fascinating since this is Six. And Mel comments a few times about how he must be important to the Doctor

Even the Valeyard has an almost fond opinion of him!!!

I just love any positive attention my boy gets!!! And again my boy is 70 in this and he is still running around helping the Doctor, pulling people out from bomb wreckage, fist fighting bad guys…you go Sergeant Benton!!!!

[robinchan-hananomi]

So today I read ‘Time’s Champion’, an unlicensed book for Doctor Who. I am not proud of how much I had to spend to get this book, but Benton is a major character so….

January 6, 2008 we have Benton (whose wife recently passed) celebrating his Seventieth birthday. He has invited many friends to come over (including the Brig, Mike, Jo, and Sarah Jane who all said they were coming and he’s very excited to see). He has two people living with him, Arlene and Paul. After breakfast they have their first two guests arrive, the Sixth Doctor and Mel! They were happily planning to come and help celebrate. The Doctor even gives a toast about how Benton is a very dear who friend who they all owe a great deal to. Sadly things aren’t all great in the day.

George Mackenzie-Trench is the an overarching figure, who we see spanning from 1908 to 9908. Because of his meddling in time, Arlene goes into labor and the Doctor, Mel, Benton, and the couple are cut off in Benton’s home due to winter storms. Due to Paul being a construct of Kronos the Doctor has to find a way to save the baby that shouldn’t really be in reality. Benton moves into the role of companion to assist in their efforts.

As Mel has her own adventure, Benton goes to Gallifrey with the Doctor and meet Romana, and with her assistance they learn the Valeyard is involved. I did love reading about Gallifrey, the Time Lords, and the Matrix (both outside and in) from Benton’s point of view. The story picks up in Gallifrey, with chaos and travels both forward and backwards in time (Happy Birthday Benton!) and was a fun ride.

One of my favorite things in the novel was an art gallery in the TARDIS where the Doctor had tributes to all his companions, a special area for the ones who died, a tribute to all his enemies, and a section of all his past selves. I also liked how much focus we got on the Valeyard. Mel and Benton were both fantastic, supporting the Doctor and assisting their friends through all the chaos.

The whole book has so much going on, so many references and actions. I tea wish it had been an official book in the end, but I am so glad I did get to read it.
