Oh, well I've never watched RWBY so I can't answer your question unfortunately.

IMO, RWBY made huge retcons because of the writer switch when the creator died.

Anyways, how is everyone?

Jefusion is a joke. I seriously don't know why I somehow keeps visiting the site. Maybe because back in 2010s it was the main site I go to for Toku stuff.

I mean now they're reporting a rumor of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprising their roles as Spider-Man and claim it as legit news. At least put a goddamn rumor tag or something.

My house's fence caught fire last night due to a nearby grid's electrical failure. We managed to put the fire out but we're currently on brown out.

Thank goodness my dad has a backup electric generator.

Holy cow! Glad you all made it out okay!

Oh wow, I'm glad you're okay, hope your power comes back soon.

Thanks for the kind words! Thankfully the electricity is now back to normal.

Pbbbt

I slept for 3 hours and also messed up my leg. Sadly, neither of those are reasons to call out from work, so I have to make myself sick now so I can stay home.

I'm sorry for your leg, I hope you get better.

That aside, please take care of your health. Your life is very important.

Thanks

I just gotta kinda fake-force myself into being sick for a bit, McDonald's is NOT kind to employees when it comes to calling out.

It recently came to my attention that Osomatsu-san is basically what if classic cartoons such as Yogi Bear kinda grew up with the viewers. In the classic original run they were just mischievous kids during the Showa era, now they are jobless grown-ups who still live like they used to in the old cartoons while trying to get with the times. The show's sense of humor aside it is an interesting example of how you update old classics for the times I think while keeping the core elements intact.

What's your first experience with gatekeepers? Mine is with Star Wars. Star Wars is probably the one fandom that has the most gatekeepers.

It was when an article on IGN about Star Wars Droids animated series, I commented that I didn't know it existed, and then gatekeepers told me I don't deserve Star Wars for my lack of knowledge. Pretty fucking hilariously sad yo, these gatekeepers.

Gatekeepers are terrible, unless you're, like, a monarch. Then they're cool. Otherwise, big ol' NOPE.

EDIT: Late at night, didn't really read the question! I guess I'm lucky in that I've had generally good experiences in fandoms? This is maybe the most I've ever participated online, and y'all are the best.

I've never had any real experience with gatekeepers. I've definitely read some toxic stuff over the years but no real experiences.

Word of advice: be wary of Tumblr, especially the Tumblr fandoms of cartoons and anime. Plenty of crazy people there. Not all of them for sure, but the crazy ones are quite prevalent.

Oh and don't get me started on the Tumblr anime shipping communities.

I have been using the worldwide web since 1997 and I do remember people in the anime fandom that would tell kids that they should not like anime because it's a grown up thing. I do hate gatekeeping unless it is being used to block certain people out of their fandom (Racist people, Sexist people, Pedos, etc).

Even in the Kamen Rider fandom, you have people that want the series to become popular because they fear the Internet boggiemen (SJWS) running the series for them. Art is something that should be open for everyone to enjoy. If you don't like certain people in the fandom, just ignore them and carry on with your life.

Tumblr caused me to drop Netflix Voltron.

There are many reasons to not watch Legendary Defender.

The first season was fun. It went downhill after very fast. Never finished this show, never will.

@Topic: Today on: "I'm not buying Nendoroids but kind of want to now", it’s Crash Bandicoot and the Doom Slayer!

I only get Nendoroids when they're either of characters who I know will likely never get 6-inch action figures, or of characters who work really well in that aesthetic. The Winnie the Pooh Nendoroid is really fun, for example. I have a few others too, but probably the most notable one outside of Pooh-Bear is probably MGS2 Raiden, seeing as I seem to be the only one who liked him(yes, I prefer the MGS2 Raiden over MGS4 and Revengeance, fite me).

Yeah - I really liked them giving attention to Okami for example because I love the game but Amaterasu just doesn't work in that cutesy-style for me. She looks like her son instead.

The Doom Slayer is cool but doesn’t work for me either, looks too baby-like with the proportions. Which I understand is what they were going for, but that’s what usually drives me away from buying these.

Crash on the other hand works fine because he always had the large-head-no-neck kinda design, even if it's a little bit more exaggerated here.

Played Among Us for the first time today with my fellow church buddies. Was the Imposter very first round. Got outsed before I even killed anyone.

Bruh.

'eey

Welcome to the John Carpenter game

I had a terrible morning today. I cried—so much so that I gave myself a headache and made myself feel sick. My eyelids are still a bit red. I’m scared of being forgotten about and hated.

So cute! <3

Are you okay?!?

We're here for you if you need a listening ear. Just let it out. We'll all try our best to help and support you.

I know life's tough right now, but please hang in there!

Oh, gosh, I hope you're feeling better now! People here have definitely not forgotten about you, and we want you to be happy.

Honestly, it’s a mixture of things.

Considering how Kamen Rider jingles are getting longer and longer, coupled with the fact that there are some sounds in the DX toys that are never used on screen, I'm considering beginning a Kamen Rider translation project.

I've already started a Rider Gashat translation project in my spare time just for fun. Anyone interested in the idea?

Had another terrible morning. :cry

Seriously, are you okay?!?

Hang in there!

Again, we'll try to help you in any way we can. We all want you to be happy.

Feel free to share, if that'd help!

Hey it might not help much but it could be worse, you could of woke up to seeing my face a foot away from yours just staring down at you.

First off all, waking up with anyone's face staring down at you is terrifying.

Second, I don't think this is an appropriate time to say this. If you had good intentions, well thanks for trying.

How was Kamen Rider Saber so far? Haven't started it, planning to do so next year but I'm itching to watch it already if it weren't for final project.

Very fast paced. Not so serious. It's definitely a lot of fun.

#RuleOfThree

I suppose it’s only fair I go into detail.

We’ll be moving to London next year. It sounded fun and exciting at first, but I didn’t think we would actually move. I thought it would be a “what if” scenario and that’s it. The more I thought about it, the more I realised I didn’t want to go. I can’t stay with Nana because it would be too hard for her to look after me (I have anxiety, don’t go outside very much and need help with things like washing my hair), plus it would be a drain on her money.

Another thing that worries me is that we can only stay in the house for a year, then we’ll have to move again. Whether we find somewhere else permanently in London or go back home, I don’t know, but it’s likely we’ll be staying in London. We’ll be taking our essential and important belongings with us and everything else will be put in storage, but the thought of relocating again scares me. Knowing me, I’ll have finally gotten used to the place and then it’ll be time to move. Also, the decorating, the rearrangement of the furniture—all that rigmarole.

We already live in the North of England, so it’s not like we’ll be moving to another country—just a different part of the same country. I think I’m just sad to be leaving this house. We aren’t exactly friendly with the neighbours but we aren’t enemies either; we just don’t have much interaction with them. But we’ve been living here since 2004. As morbid as it’s going to sound, I think I expected myself to die while living here.

Mam said she wasn’t sure if we should put any Christmas decorations on the window this year because of the move, and I said something like, “Why not? We aren’t moving until March. Different if we were moving in early January.” I then asked on what date we’ll be moving, she said the first, which is earlier than I thought. I thought we were moving at the end of the month. That set me off. I tried to hide that I was upset, but Mam caught me crying. We talked about it. She feared I was going to do something to myself.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm sure it was tough, but for people who are worried about you, it helps to know a little bit about what's going on.

I'm sorry you're having to move, and then move again down the line. I'm doubly sorry that it's creating so much additional uncertainty and stress. Feeling comfortable in a place, having that place be a part of your identity (Kamen Rider Lolita Lives Here), and then knowing it's coming to an end... sure, that sounds rough, and it's the proper response to feel overwhelmed by it.

The good news is, I guess, that you've got people who are supporting you. Your family, for one. I don't want to toss something trite in here, like What's A Home Really But The People You Live With, but there's maybe something to that. A lot of times comfort is just you forgetting about the things that stress you out, or bother you, and that just takes time. Having the people you care about around can make new places feel less new. A new place can be home quicker than you think.

I'm honestly sorry that this is such a tough time for you. If there's anything else someone who lives very far away can do for you, even if it's just lend an ear, please don't hesitate to reach out. Us Kamen Riders have to stick together!

I keep forgetting how wholesome this place can be.

Ah yes the moving experience. I remember when me and my family moved so I know exactly how you feel.

I used to live in the Philippines with my large family (my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins) until all of a sudden my mom and dad got better jobs in Singapore. So off we went to Singapore. I remember being very confused by everything and, as a person with autism, caused me a great deal of stress at first.

I eventually became accustomed there after a few months and befriended a lot of people in the streets (yes you read that correctly)...until my dad got a job offer here in Australia.

So off we go moving again, once again the usual dance of stress and anxiety hitting me. Unlike Phillippines to Singapore where the Asian culture and religious/superstitious atmosphere made transition bearable, the move to a Western-influenced country with secular ethics created a large culture shock.

And even here in Australia we moved again from our first house to the one we live in right now.

So yeah change and moving places is stressful, I know because I've moved 4 times (Philippines -> Singapore -> Australia house 1 -> Australia house 2), but let me assure you that the stress is only temporary.

And you say that your mother worries that you'll do something to yourself? She sounds like someone reliable you can talk to; I advise talking about your problems if you two are close, it helps much more than you think. It sounds like you have a great family!

I know it's not much, but I hope it helps. Hang in there, and we're always here for you.

A big reason why I like these boards. Y'all are awesome!

Can't wait. Having a hiatus on Rider is actually a good thing because I'm itching to start it already.

Good luck Lolita! Moving can be a hard experience, especially when it comes to the inevitable homesick.
