Furthermore

To be fair, the theme song for RWBY volume 3 did tell us exactly what we were in for, no joke. One thing that still bothers me is Velvet, particularly the way she was introduced. In volume 2 she is older than the main cast, but in volume 1 she was in the same class as them and was getting bullied by Team Cardinal. Her team should have (and would have) come to her rescue, even though she was just the set-up for Blake's reveal later (which came as no surprise to anyone watching). Speaking of volumes 1 and 2, if they were like the first two Harry Potter books, then volume 3 skips right to Half-Blood Prince in terms of how dark it got. Also, I just realized how RWBY is like Halo, thanks to Cortana being the narrator/big bad now (since almost everything in volume 3 came right the fuck out of nowhere). The Huntsmen and Huntresses are the Spartans, the White Fang is the Covenant (sort of), and the Grimm are the Flood.

I'm actually really enjoying Dino Supercharge despite the stupid name. The last thing I expected was the guy who played Colonel Truman in RPM coming back to play Shelby's dad. It's too bad they have a limited number of episodes, since Hekyll didn't stay on their good side long enough. If they had stretched it out more, though, he might have started to grow a conscience, and that wasn't going to happen. The actors continue to do a great job and really seem to be enjoying themselves in their roles as always.

Endorsement

I had a weird Power Rangers dream. There were five Rangers, and they were powered by Gatorade. Anyone could be any color, of which there were red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. They could only summon their powers either by drinking it or pouring it over their heads. It may even have been Powerade for all I know, if they were going to be literal with it. Then I also had a dream where I had to mix different drinks for the characters from Final Fantasy Type 0. I don't remember much of it except talking to Nine and making a spicy red drink for Queen. Then I got an idea to draw Lexaeus as a minotaur and Xaldin as a centaur. I won't actually do that though because I'm not good at drawing, especially animals or animal crossbreeds.

Cinnamon Oreos are the best. I don't like the idea of Lay's swapping out flavors, though. Gouda and chives is good, but I wouldn't vote for it to replace cheddar and sour cream. Same thing with Korean Barbecue; it's nice, but I'd rather have honey barbecue. I couldn't care less about the other two match-ups, but my boyfriend says he'd rather have habenero and olive oil and herbs. Pringles has a hot dog flavor I've only seen at Walgreen's. I don't know how I feel about that, as they were all buried at the bottom of the display underneath stacks of original and sour cream and onion. I'd rather just eat a hot dog if they weren't so bad for my heart, which is too bad since Burger King just started serving hot dogs. Urgh.

I wonder if RWBY volume 3 was always supposed to be that dark, what with characters getting killed and limbs being severed and all. It took way too sharp of a turn, in my opinion. Yang is done, which is understandable. Blake running away again is also understandable since she feels responsible for what happened to Yang, but running away only made things worse between them. Penny can probably be rebuilt eventually (though she wouldn't be Penny), but other people are definitely gone. We didn't even see Goodwitch's face when she was trying to fix a broken building only to have it fall apart again; she must have been in agony. I don't hold out much hope for Ozpin being missing and not dead. We saw what Cinder did to Phyrra. It was a nice surprise to hear Burnie voicing Tai, and just as surprising when Qrow seemed to turn into an actual crow when he was following Ruby and the rest of JNPR at the end.

Thanks to Facebook, I was reminded that the game show I was trying to think of a long time ago was called Get the Picture. It was on a list of obscure Nickelodeon shows. I knew almost all of them. Those were some good times.

RWBY and Critical Role have both gotten very dark. Some very well-timed nat-1s saved the campaign from being worse (when Scanlan's daughter wanted to kill him and when Grog wanted to free the litch). It's cool that Laura and Travis cameoed in RWBY as well, since they met RoosterTeeth at a Halo convention. I liked watching them try to play the Starwhal game too. It's funny when Laura doesn't do well and starts swearing. I even did some Critical Role fan art. I drew the group in bunches watching in horror as the ancient dragons arrived. I know better than to scan it and send it in, though. As for a campaign I play, we have been reunited with an NPC we thought betrayed us. Next time, we have to try to save her from some goblorcs - half-goblin half-orcs.
