For a moment I read that as SEELE. :rolleyes:

"Space: the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship SEELE. It's ongoing mission: to seek out new idiocies, new failures, new atrocities. To boldly f@#k up like no would-be immortals have f@#ked up before."

Space: The Final Frontier
These are the voyages of the Maiden Asari.
Their eternal mission: to explore strange new worlds.
To seek out new life, and new civilizations.
To boldly screw what they have never laid before.

I mean, seriously, that's young asari in a nutshell. ^^:;;

Reading this gave me an idea for a small Mass Effect omake style fic where some unknown hacker hacks into the codex database and replaces the entire asari entry with this. Not gonna make it though cause I'm a terrible writer. Also to bring this back to the story When's there gonna be another cape fight?

At Parian's Doll House, on the afternoon of April 1st​, 2011.
Dashing Spaniard cape vs. Dread Pirate cape. :)

Seriously, the last 4 chapters of arc 5 are Cape Fights.

Arc 6 starts with the E88, and ends with Endbringers.

Plan my next workstation upgrade (codenamed : Sol Invictus - Threadripper 3990X, and all the ram I can afford, 1TB SSD + 4TB RAID 1+0, plus a pair of RTX2060's.).

I'm assuming from the above that you thematically name your machines?

My current machine is Hephaestus. Previous one was Ptah.
My current laptop is Skirnir. Previous one was Hermes.
Routers get names such as Naglfar and Gjallrhorn.

'Course, it still boils down to "my work machine", "my laptop", and "that ^)#&*@)^ router".

Dinah shrugged. "I've got no clue. That's one of the things they're hashing out. Because this," and with that, she reached into a pouch she carried at her waist, pulled out a domino mask, and put it on, "would be silly."

Missy smiled, then began looking around, a grin on her face. "Hey, strange new cape who has suddenly appeared, have you seen my friend Dinah? She was here a second ago…"

This made me think of this comic: Mild-Mannered Unicorn

If you read earlier and later ones, you'll see why. Though it's heavily implied in this one, itself.

Figure out what the last episode for this season of The Owl House means... Nah, I'll let the crowd over on Youtube do that.

I need to find a good place to watch that. Where's it airing? I found the first ep on youtube, I think, but I haven't seen the others.

It airs on the Disney Channel, which is part of our digital TV/Internet package. New Episodes are on Saturdays at 7:44pm CDT; a repeat of the previous week's episode usually follows. You can watch some episodes on the show's website.

*edit* Ooops, I forgot the day... mea culpa.

Is Sun Wukong going to make an appearance anytime soon? Because the Monkey King is pretty much badass made manifest, and he'd fit right in with a war among gods and their champions and armies as a power unto himself.

    • "...And this is Miurna O' Meadhra of BBTV-45's news at 6! Reports in from China : Interviews from refugees in India, Vietnam, Korea, and Russia all paint a rather strange picture; A Cape resembling a man-sized monkey riding a cloud projection has been thoroughly trashing the YangBan and People's Liberation Army over the course of several days. Who is this strange cape..."

    With that, a rip and space-time opens and a monkey-like head pops through. "Hey! I'm not one of your whimpy capes! I'm Sun Wukong, the one and only Monkey King, champion of Heaven, and Great Sage Equal To Heaven! I ain't been likin' how these YangBan clowns have been runnin' my ol' stompin' grounds, and when they decided to trash one of my favorite temples, it was on! Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to got collect some royalties due for about 1000 years of Journey to the West productions..." The head withdraws, but your can still hear his voice. "Hey. Doormaker, thanks for the portal, have a peach..."

    The news anchor shakes her head as if to clear it. "You know, Chris," she states to someone off camera, "that was weird, even for Brockton Bay. And now, the weather..."

    That's... actually, no, now that I think about it, that's about right for Sun Wukong, at least as far as I know.

    It's a pity Coil is dead, actually. I just had this sudden image of him surrounded by Sun Wukong, Coyote, and Loki.

    Because the thing he could least handle is losing his dignity, and I'm pretty sure he would have lost even the concept of dignity by the time they were through with him....

    Wait, are you saying that Coil, a man who wears a black skin tight body suit with a white snake coiled along it (who is already freakishly skinny) has dignity?!

    Well, he thinks he does, anyway.

    ...Am I missing something here? Are we talking about a figure from Chinese myth? If so, why would he be siding with the Yangban? And if it's just some cape, why would he matter in the face of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

    Edit: Thanks, @MaimakteriAnn

    Nope, it's a reference to this comic from Great Briton. The 1995 movie staring Stallone as the title character has the line "I am the Law!" He uses it multiple times throughout the movie.

    Because they have Judge "I am the law!" Dread on their side?

    Wukong is immortal 5 different ways, including 2 that are explicitly "unkillable" and not just "ageless," and was able to beat the ass of the Jade Emperor's entire army singlehandedly.

    Judge Dredd would likely either be mocked or taken out with a casual sack-tap with a super dense magical staff weighing multiple tons.
     
    Oh, I'm not saying it's a good judgement call on the CUI's part. I was just making light of things. Judge Dredd is an interesting comic and character, and the character (along with his comic) are a social commentary on totalitarian authority.
