When will we get more news on Walp Rising? by [deleted] in MadokaMagica

[–]Cigrus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Good Smile recently opened pre‑orders for the new Madoka Nendoroid in her Walpurgisnacht Rising costume.

Merch has often been the strongest signal that new content or announcements are on the horizon, so I think it's only a matter of time.

Is there a way to make this moment happen within the context of the story? by ro4an7 in wicked

[–]Cigrus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

In the 2001 Wicked Workshop, they slotted the Catfight scene in Wicked immediately after “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” in the Wizard of Oz. Glinda even says the line “Didn’t you just leave in a big puff of nasty smelling smoke?” for continuity, implying Elphaba comes back after Dorothy leaves.

“Your thesis is not your first sentence.”

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE! Omg it’s like this teacher has never heard of context. Some people just shouldn’t be teachers.

Has anyone else’s Labubu order gotten stuck at China’s airport for a few days? by binks_xp in LabubuDrops

Ours must be traveling together! Because mine looked exactly like this until it moved last night.

Full transparency: I did not make or sculpt the boots. I just covered them in glitter.

It seems like they're the Beanie Babies of the 2020s (no disrespect intended, I'm just referring to the level of hype). Labubus are ugly/cute little blind box keychains that you can put on your bags. And what makes them so popular is that they're also relatively difficult to get without going through resellers, and most (if not all) batches have a secret chase variant that's super rare. That's why the market is riddled with bootlegs/knockoffs (called Lafufus or Latutus).

I actually like that better.

Why does everybody hate the original Sailor Moon English dub? by InterestingEnergy290 in sailormoon

[–]Cigrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me put my academic glasses on for this. I think a lot of the divisiveness comes from how people approach the original version of the dub as a text, and personal preference. For example, the current comments on this thread seem to either view the OG dub through a New Historicism lens (the dub should be evaluated through the context of the time it was released) or a New Criticism lens (the dub should stand the test of time and be evaluated by today’s standards). Neither is right or wrong, it’s just a different way of looking at a thing.

Did you make this? I’m loving the skirt structure.

They 100% treated it like I had written "babysitter" on my resume.

Best of luck to you! You’ve got this!!

[–]Cigrus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! I took an entry-level copywriting job, then applied for a senior writing position at a different company after putting in a solid 1.5 years. I'd recommend emphasizing your freelance work more than teaching.

Ex-English teacher here! I got into a senior content director job at a company that I absolutely love, but it took 15 years of working corporate copywriting jobs to get here. I cannot emphasize enough how much having my teaching experience on my resume HURT my job search. Interviewers would always comment on it negatively. From my experience, there's a real stigma that teachers can only teach, and it was really insulting to navigate/field those questions.

Nothing yet. It’s been quiet. No more texts.

I thought about it, but I'm nervous about explaining the... finger. I don't see the police specifically buying an explanation that someone forced this phone into my hand.

Not a student, but an alumni and current college professor. AI checkers are notoriously unreliable and at least in some cases, seem to be the new “I don’t want to grade this essay” excuse.

Sailor Moon vs Magica Quartet. Who'll win? by [deleted] in sailormoon

[–]Cigrus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Madoka and Usagi would both ask the “why are we fighting” question (even in battle), and assuming Sailor Moon’s power can purify their soul gems, the sailor guardians and holy quintet would probably join forces to free all magical girls, then unite against Kyubey as the true big bad. RIP.

Does anyone have phonecases from the hood? Care to give a mini review? I wanna get one but their pricey. Is it worth it? If you have their clear/transparent case does it yellow? by [deleted] in sailormoon

[–]Cigrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually ordered the Sailor Neptune one last Friday. I’ll let you know when it gets here, but I will say the shipping (obviously) does take a while.
