You're such a Wordshaker~♫

Yesterday, TsuPro announced the supporting cast for the upcoming Ultraman Teo series, and I find myself surprisingly really excited about it!

Info about their characters is all in this press release

I'm not seeing many people talking about it on twitter or tumblr yet, so I figured I'd just ramble about it here 😅 Y'all probably know by now how much I love student characters.

Like the main character Ibuki (Teo), the four new characters are all fellow college students and they're all studying veterinarian medicine (or something veterinarian adjacent). And, my favorite part: they all join the university's astronomy club! I love when Ultraman gives me science-y people instead of military people.

The characters:

Emma: she's the astronomy club president and serves as the leader. And she's apparently quirky about naming things. She's dressed in bright colors in the photo, so I think she's going to be a very fun character. I'm interested in seeing how she pulls all these different personalities together.

Kanna: she's the engineer of the group, and doesn't seem like she wants to interact with people. (It says she joined astronomy club because it was mostly inactive so she thought she could get some alone time! Lol) I have a feeling she'll be my favorite because I do like quiet loners who eventually find friends (whether they want to or not)

Rintaro: he's described as reserved, logical, and realistic. Seems cold but is actually very kind. My first thought when reading his description is that he sounds a bit like Ishido Shu from Arc (at least, early on before he got to know everyone). Will Rintaro be the voice of reason in the group? The description also says he has a weakness he's privately dealing with, so I'm definitely intrigued about that.

Wataru: he's 33!! I'm real excited to see them include a student that's a bit older than the others. (It's never too late to go to college!!) Before signing up for college, he used to be a rescue worker. I'm very interested to see what that perspective brings to the group. He seems like a fun guy too (also dressed in bright colors) and he wants people to call him by a silly nickname 😁

There's also a friendly mini kaiju that hangs out with them, but I find mascot characters off-putting so I'm ignoring that part 😅

Anyway, all these characters along with Ibuki, an alien-turned-refugee after the loss of his planet, make for an interesting combination, in my opinion. The show doesn't air until July but I'm already very excited for it.

(Also, related sidenote: two ladies in the team means Ultraman yuri is back!! I WILL be writing fic 😂)

Lastly, there's a youtube interview with the cast here. No English subs unfortunately. But it was good listening practice for me to watch anyway 😁

Greetings friends. Today I'm recovering from a cold 😩

Let's just get to it:

Nothing is claiming my attention during lunch break today, so here's an assortment of thoughts:

☆ I've been having trouble getting to sleep before 1 a.m. for the past week, which is very annoying, but on the bright side, I used my "I can't sleep yet" time last night to start writing something for femslashfete 😂
☆ last night, I also thought about which fandoms and characters I wanna write for toku100challenge's current drabblethon. One of them is gonna be my first Kamen Rider Amazon fic 😊
☆ in keeping with the subject of fics, I'm in the midst of putting together a rec post for bnha_fans! The problem is that I keep looking through my old bookmarks and subscriptions and thinking "maybe I should reread this before recommending it" but then I don't have time to re-read a 100k word fic right now 😅 The eternal struggle!
☆ Animazement is two weeks from Friday! The schedule is already out 👀 (that's so early for them) I gotta start planning things.
☆ I wish I could catch up on watching some TV shows and movies but my ability to concentrate is at an all-time low right now (it's the lack of sleep). Today I was thinking about watching more Ultra Q
☆ my garden is currently looking pretty good! I will maybe hopefully write a post and share photos eventually

Hope everyone has a nice Wednesday 🥳
