Amid all that has gone on the past few years, there have been a few missed milestones in our fandom. Hasbro has been a bit lax at anniversaries for Beast Wars, for example -- though we did get Kingdom and the Rise of the Beasts movie. RiD's 20th was a victim of pandemics and rights tangles...

Wouldn't it be the Gazpacho, if it gets that far? All dark humour aside, I suppose the fact that I am (for the moment) beyond the reach of all this has given me some comfort, even if it limits what I can actually do. Besides reminding my American acquaintances (most of whom are toughing it out)...

Taking a break from all of our -- uh-oh.

So, the next arc of the anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man was announced as a theatrical release. (Possibly inspired by how Demon Slayer: Mugen Train revived the Japanese cinema revenues. I'm still largely in the "Aware that the characters exist, owing to various cosplay skits" category, but even...

The comic's hard-right turn started in 2019 (apparently a side effect of 2011's radical-feminist reboot, connected by a trans-woman-phobia pipeline), but the canards and caricatures appear to have taken off more recently, per TV Tropes' capsule summary.

From the subreddit devoted to tracking the Sinfest webcomic's descent, via imgur and Patheos (where I found the image): Considering the logarithmic leap at the end of such a year of ... content, how long before the creator ends up making headlines?

To answer a question with a question... How long have you interacted with online fandom?

How's 2025 so far? Perhaps a delivery for our host will be of help to start the year?

While a pretty egregious example of Later Western Lore From A Different TF Storyline overriding the original Japanese writing (which is cool and Japanese, or so we said in the Before Times), I feel this overlooks the best descriptor Sixshot ever had.... ...I refer, of course, to "Ninja...

I opened it up a few times and had real people in it, but it's unlikely from their post contents that they were living in anything like reality (though they did have a consensus of sorts). And the one who was talking about real things then jumped off a slippery slope, so.... I've been only...

So... a border-case Quadwal/Iocus stream, then. ;)

Charles III could dissolve Parliament without being first asked to do so by the PM, certainly. He could do it exactly once, at which point the UK is in uncharted constitutional waters.

Revenge of the Fallen Devastator: *bong*

And, here's the last Smiley Time bideo of 2024.

So, two years ago when I looked for DDLC New Year's content, I found the whole club in fancy dress making resolutions. Last year, I found the club in formal kimono. This year, I found: Well, even wholesome characters need to cut loose every now and then.... 😉 Hxppy thoughts New Year!

I'm not altogether certain if 2024 can't end fast enough, or if 2025 is a year to watch out for. But for tonight, how about we toast our survival?

Odd that Beast Machines Quake didn't make it into the lineup picture. I mean, sure, it's a toyetic Tankor recolour, but it's also the most distinct look the character had compared to the three shown.

Much like "Darth Old Spice", we may end up with a breakout character who becomes better known by the names that fans give him than any that are actually used in universe. Of course, in both cases the characters have multiple aliases and have reasons to not be entirely truthful....
