so what do we do when s3 drops and they canonize daniel's daughters and kate isnt the no-nonsense eldest daughter and lenora isnt the forgiving younger sister

[michaelormewood]

here's my most likely inaccurate finale prediction:

the station house gets set on fire somehow and buck and bobby are trapped inside. tommy is part of a rescue (hence the medal ceremony) and bobby announces he's either retiring or accepting a promotion.

the final minutes of the episode end with buck and tommy on a go-karting date.

Does anyone else think it's a crying shame that this particular Sofia the First WMG was Jossed?

Minor spoilers for the manga but, Donovan Desmond has already met Loid/Twilight in the manga so I think it's unlikely that he's an esper (especially since Loid/Twilight was shown thinking about the mission during their conversation). Although, since he's such a high ranking government official I wouldn't be surprised if he does know about the program that was experimenting on Anya and Bond(psychic dog) and could potentially suspect Anya of being the missing experiment 007. So we could get a situation where Anya tries to read his mind and he addresses her as 007 in his mind, seeing if it causes her to react (the scene with Desmond and Twilight didn't include Anya)

As for the scars, those could also be connected to Project Apple indirectly. It's true that Desmond doesn't trust anyone and is extremely cautious so if he knows about the details of Project Apple and the existence of espers he might have taken precautions to keep telepaths from reading his mind (like Stanford Pines putting a metal plate in his head to keep Bill out of his mind in gravity falls). Meaning, it's possible he could be a blindspot for Anya's telepathy.

This is what happens when you only watch the anime, I suppose. I did wonder if the handshake was from Loid's perspective. Still, I don't think that necessarily rules him out as having his own abilities; his hypothetical power(s) could very well be something else other than what I described. It is a pretty big blow to my concept, though. I really do like your idea that his overly paranoid nature means he's afraid that things could backfire. Given that his biggest desire is to start another war, it's pretty clear he must be good at playing the long game. Would make sense to me if there are still espers under the government's control but what form they'd take is a little less certain to me. It is really weird that no one was sent after Anya since I think it's made rather clear that she escaped from the lab and then went into hiding at the orphanage she was found in. Really like the idea that he'll probably quickly put two and two together once they actually meet. Or it could very well be that it's him who ends up inviting her over to spend time with Damian once he realizes who she is, leading his kid on, making him think he's actually really proud of him (sorry, bud). Getting to know him better as a character is one of the things I'm most looking forward to, actually, since there must be a reason that Twilight - Westalis' best spy, after all - was sent after him in the first place.

Do people say “Jossed” anymore? What did we replace it with?

[chronicallylatetotheparty]

Headcanon Adrien as 1/8 undetermined Asian descent.

. . . Oh, you want me to explain.

Back when we thought some outside force was responsible for the destruction of the Order of the Guardians, I thought that Emilie Agreste was a descendant of said force.

The theoretical people who attacked the Guardians would naturally be from the same general region. IE: Asia. Some of them making their way to Europe over the next two centuries. They'd intermarry until their descendants were more "European" than anything else.

That's how Gabriel got the Miraculous and why there's so much butterfly symbolism going on in the Agreste mansion and why he seemed not to know anything about Miraculous before the start of the series.

Oh! And Emilie Agreste is based off Tara Strong who's Jewish, so headcanoning some Jewish ancestry in there too.

... Of course, Canon threw a wrench in that didn't it? But! That's not going to stop me from headcanoning Adrien as 1/8 to 1/4 non-white. Why? Well, I have 1/8 undetermined Asian ancestry so that probably has something to do with it.

Plus, the Canon "backstory" is kinda lame.

Belated update on the Stitch!Now aliens

I kept putting off writing this, but I need to get to this now before I forget about it entirely.

Recently, I’ve shared a screenshot from the Chinese iOS game Stitch!Now showing a yellow whale-like alien with the number 23 in its description who we thought was supposedly X-023/Cyclo.

And a while back, there was this green amphibian-like alien with the number 15 who we believed to be X-015/Ruggles.

Unfortunately, I’m here to announce that—by word of Lilo & Stitch: The Series writer and executive producer Jess Winfield—they are not among Jumba’s experiments.

In a reply to a DeviantArt comment I left on one of @angoraram‘s DA status posts (I go by ArtJockeyKC over there), @tombola1993 told me that Bricerific43 messaged Winfield on Twitter over the aliens in this game. This is what tombola wrote to me:

“Well, apparently, right, Jess Winfield, the writer of the franchise, says that the design of the one that is supposedly 023: Cyclo isn't really one of Jumba's experiment. Bricerific43 contacted Jess Winfield via Twitter about his thoughts on this experiment and he got back to him saying that it's not one of Jumba's. Possibly because he knows how to distinguish Jumba's experiments from other aliens. Most of which have markings and round noses, but not all of them do.Maybe the company who developed the app just made up a couple of random experiment designs and guessed what they look like based on the names and numbers. Even stranger, this experiment, along with the one that is supposedly 015: Ruggles had two different colours and numbers. The number 23 in the round experiment's description also has a red counterpart numbered as 16, which is supposedly meant to be Malt and the frog experiment had a dark green and blue counterpart numbered 27, which is Plushie's number. So, each one of them could be one or the other.

It could be that they just came up with a couple of simple experiment designs and just made two different counterparts, so that it would be cheaper to reuse the same designs, rather than make new ones from scratch, which I find lazy and confusing.

However, that didn't stop me from making Pokemon fusions of the two and I had fun fusing the two.”

So again, no, these are not canonical experiments. They are just random generic alien designs made for the game and used as palette swaps.

I apologize for having worked up a desperate fanbase in my past posts relating to the game over these designs. Having more revealed experiments would be nice, but accuracy matters more than speculation.

On the plus side, at least we don’t have to worry as much about a piece of non-English Lilo & Stitch media that we will never get. Especially a free-to-play mobile game.

Since his reply to me mentioned this, if you would like to see tombola’s Pokémon-Experiment fusions, including the ones he made with the Stitch!Now aliens, you can view his gallery over here.

Part 9 of the mourning period series

[Spoilers for 4x07; specualtion on 4x08]

Preview: "Elliot blinks several times, and the boy remains there, just like the blood staining Krista's rug. Where once there was a supply of input there is only silence. The boy's eyes, his build and clothes, are unmistakable, closer to a memory than mere reflection.

—he's been waiting to meet you, after all this time—

Krista's hand closes around his own wrist, the same iron grip he thinks a mother would have, and he can hear the sound her voice makes without processing exactly what she's telling him, on the verge of collapse—

—the boy recoils—

"Stop," the word tears its way from his throat, instinctual; Krista gasps, flinches. "You're scaring him."
