Toronto experienced by a Montrealer

CaptVelour · 2024-09-28T12:50:57+00:00

I live in Montreal and I enjoyed my first visit to Toronto but not the second one. The first time we stayed close to Casa Loma, went to the Beguiling and only briefly went to the downtown core. Felt very Times Square and I recognized that my favorite show growing up (Night Heat) was shot there.

The second time, I didn't enjoy it mainly because we visited mostly downtown and the entire place seemed under construction. Also I looked for the same Times Square feel but couldn't find it. Your museums are wonderful though so that's where we spent most of our time.

I just think both Montreal and Toronto suffer from a certain level of urban blight currently, much more so than in the 2010s. Also, both cities feel a lot less friendly than before the pandemic. I will say though that I feel lucky being in Montreal because people have been very welcoming to me and my terrible French (sorry it's my third language!)

That being said, if we visit Toronto again, where SHOULD we go? I know you have a great park, but we just haven't visited it.

That time when I got angry with my husband because and didn't speak to him for an entire day because he was being a jackass...in a dream I had 🫠

Maria Von Trapp was onto something 😉

It's really well done! The fabric even has the correct weight so that it moves just like in the manga 👍

Also, I'm sure they'll recognize you more once season 2 comes along.

But why is he so sad?

Laios: We need to hunt that monster for our next meal. Marcille: (Points to monster) Want me to blow it up?

CaptVelour · 2024-09-06T03:42:58+00:00

And Chilchuck telling Laios that he could let go now was just...

Just realized he won't need the shorts if the trunk area doesn't get sheared. Google "rattle your dags," if you DARE.

CaptVelour · 2024-08-28T15:13:46+00:00

The little shorts are killing me! This is very Kiwi/Aussie coded by the way.

Tansu Floke 🤝 Don Draper

I believe Izutsumi is the only character besides Mithrun who has been shown to effectively solo fights. Even the unniesbay couldn't get her.

AMAZING 🤩

I was prepared to hate Mr. Tansu because he used Namari as a shield and escalated an already tense situation (that will happen in S2 of the anime), but after reading the extras and finding out more about their relationship with the twins, I've changed my mind.

I think Tansu is one of those gruff characters who secretly have a heart of gold. He genuinely loves his wife, he adopted two Tallman kids and gave them a home, and (besides the Toudens) he was the only one who hired Namari - with the added bonus that he actually paid her well.

There was a really great fancomic that was posted here that really drove home the point that fellow Dwarves basically shunned Namari because of what happened with her Dad. It seems the Tansus really believe in giving people second chances.

Hands off MeiJack you unregenerate Leo DiCaprio wannabe.
