The Following "Reflection" Review

It seems Ryan Hardy might be working with the FBI again next week. Will there be more Ryan/Mike then? We can only hope!

This week we saw Lily try to lure Joe into her own cult. I don't know why Lily would want Joe but it isn't good. Maybe it's to have his child? That's the only thing I can think of, but I'm not good with mysteries so I'll probably be very surprised at the reason.

I was glad to see what happened to Max after the end of last episode. I loathed last week's cliffhanger because I was so worried.

Emma calls Lily's Cult crazy and that makes sense to me. What makes crazy is all about comparison. Usually you judge everyone else by yourself. Since you are normal it is easy to realize why Emma would call the new cult crazy. Lily's Cult is different from what she is used to.

How Joe is eventually drawn into Lily's arm was creepy. You get to see a professor's warmth doing a killer's work. Plus the whole time I was hoping Joe would resist. Maybe Joe is doing all of this to draw Lily into a false sense of security. Though his reaction before sleeping with Lily makes that theory seem very wrong.

Ryan Hardy realizes how obsessed he is and I think that's why he'll finally agree to work with the FBI next week.

Infected Vials and a New Quest




INFO FROM
HERE AND HERE(only works if you got a random event)

Remember how I was getting nervous that no zombies would appear in this event? This is the Valentine's Day event that NEEDS zombies. As a zombie myself (on the site) I want new undead to join our numbers.

The good news is that you now can become a zombie! You can feel how glorious it is to be counted as an undead. You can run around laughing at how good it feels! And, yes, Steven Yeun is right about what we feel most of the time.

The thing is your glimpse into the Undead Mind is just a glimpse. It will only last a short amount of time. This is great if you're already infected (aka a zombie) since you get to experience another form of the zombie 'virus'.

You can be part of this by completing a Lost Skeleton Quest which you can get to by receiving a random event (oh, and those harvested organs you have now have a use). I've read on one of the forums that you can only get to these quests if you receive a random event and not merely by having the link.

However, don't use the first vial you get (the prize of the quest) as I have read that you only get ONE CHOICE. So keep an eyes on the forums if you don't want to take a risk as others will probably post results.

Almost Human "Disrupt" Review

This is one of the few times I was able to watch the new episode LIVE. Still haven't seen the latest episode of Helix, though. But will catch up soon so don't worry about that!

The episode title seems to be in reference to a hacker group. Yep, this week we got to see a little of the hacking world in the Almost Human Universe. And with such a futuristic setting there would have to be hackers because they exist in this day and age. Plus, with great power comes smart people that will fuck shit up.

I have read a few people bringing up theories of how John Kennex is actually a robot. I must say I like them. Not only would it be great for these thinkers to be proven right, but I would love to see Kennex's reaction when he finds out he's one of the things he hates.

Besides Kennex's humanity being questioned, Dorian's history is being questioned. A human memory (one of a child) has been found. It all ends with the usual "We have to tell him!" (said this time by Kennex) and "It is too dangerous to tell him right now!" (said this time by Rudy Lom).

I know we have to keep up the mystery of Dorian for now, but can't people find better ways of hiding things? I saw this in the recent Season of Supernatural (angel possessing Sam's body plot) and am annoyed at seeing it here.

I'd like for some reason that would make more sense for hiding things from people. Like when Donna's memory was erased in Doctor Who and the reason no one could tell her was because she would die or something.

For Dorian...something bad MIGHT happen. Of course Rudy may be hiding something from Kennex. I really hope that will be the case so this cliche would make sense.

The answer for this week's episode was heartwarming. It showed what the pain of loss can do to a person. That sometimes you get driven into a corner and think that murder is the only way out.

All in all: a very good episode and I can't wait to find out more about both Kennex and Dorian!
This Part Was The Best Thing EVER!

Harvesting Time Change

Info Found HERE
Harvesting has been a lot of fun. It's interesting to see what random item you'll get. You can even get snot! I mean...snot is awesome but why the hell would that count as an organ?

Like in real life: you only have a limited number of organs that you can give to people.

Unlike real life, however, you can regenerate your organs so you can continue to be harvested.

Until 9PM Eastern Standard Time (which is the same as Subeta time) organs will be regenerated after the brain is removed. After that time you'll have to wait three hours for your organs to be regenerated after all of them have been removed.

Have fun getting all those yummy organs!

Shipping Confessions: Tobias/Marco (Animorphs)

Animorphs was the first thing I really read. I was obsessed with it to the point where my parents had to take the books away from me so that I'd read other things (of course Mom had this idea of making me read shit I didn't want to so I could 'expand my horizons', but that's not a rant for Shipping Confessions).

When I first read the series I wasn't even close to being the shipper I am today. I only went for canon ships (in the main series it's Cassie/Jake and Tobias/Rachel) and didn't explore non-canon ships like I do today. I also didn't really cuss when I read them which should also surprise a lot of people that know me.

But upon my Re-Read (now up to Book #5 The Predator) I noticed a ship that escaped me from my previous readings of the series. It was one that connects to the previous Shipping Confessions (aka Science Husbands) in the way the ship connects.

It is: Tobias/Marco!
Before the Animorphs became the Animorphs and got their morphing abilities from the Andalite Prince Elfangor, Tobias knew none of the other group members. Well...he did know Jake who saved him from bullies, but they weren't close friends at all.

Before Tobias became an Animorph, he was someone who was pushed between two uncaring relatives and beat up at every opportunity. If Tobias' story had been different, he would make a great start for a genderbent Carrie.

When the group met Elfangor, Tobias finally found a cause worth fighting for. He was the strongest supporter in the beginning.

By the end of the first book (#1 The Invasion) he trapped himself in morph and throughout the series he tries to deal with being stuck in the body of a red-tailed hawk. This is also a problem for Rachel (his canon girlfriend) whose relationship with him is strained at points.

Out of all the Animorphs, Tobias is the one that is ACTUALLY TORTURED!
Marco starts off seeming like a person whose sole purpose in life is to joke. He is also the only Animorph to be extremely resistant to fighting the Yeerks until #5 The Predator.

However, Marco's character is much more than the joker he first appears as. He basically believes you can be drowned by the sorrows of life or laugh at the insanity that is life.

Also, while he is reluctant to fight, he is the one to remind the other Animorphs when they would be making a mistake. In #3 The Encounter he tells the group that they should wait since them leaving when they had wanted to would be suspicious.

There is so much I could say about Marco's character but I'll save that for another day.
Tobias and Marco, like Bruce and Tony, seem to be the opposites of each other in many respects. A combination that shouldn't work but does.

Tobias is the outcast who doesn't have a good handle of interactions with other people. When he finally does get his ability to morph back he has a hard time readjusting to his human body (which is now a morph he can only stay in for two hours at a time or he becomes a nothlit again).

Marco is the one ends up with the fame by the end and is the one that created the name Animorphs. I really wish he had been able to get suits for everyone because that would've been awesome!

Since I'm not that far along in my Re-Read, I don't have a ton of examples of shipping moments for this pair. However, the fact is that Marco gives Tobias the ability to cope with being stuck in hawk morph that he needs. Instead of being worried that he'll hurt Tobias' feelings, like the others, he takes a chance with treating Tobias just like everyone else.

Marco tells Tobias, in this manner, that he's not a freak and is just like everyone else in the group.

Oh, and did I mention it was Marco's action in #3 The Encounter that made it so that Tobias' suicide attempt wasn't successful?!
While I'll ship Rachel/Tobias until I die, I have brought in this ship for a Tobias rp tumblr I have.

What will I talk about in the next Shipping Confessions? There is a ship I was shipping before I was a shipper. A ship I didn't realize was not canon but felt so real to me. So I was disappointed, and confused, when it didn't work out. It is from the Jedi Apprentice series and is between a human and a Mon Calamari.

Organ Harvesting Has Started

Info From HERE and HERE
Hey, something great has happened! This event seems to have finally gotten underway!

I mean...it's horrible, just HORRIBLE, that party go-ers are having their organs harvested. This is totally not the time to scream THE ZOMBIES WILL HAVE THEIR DAY AND WILL RULE FOR ALL ETERNITY STARTING NOW! because we don't know why the organs are being harvested.

For those concerned: All of the injured seem to be in recovery now so don't worry!

The rumor is that this is for the black market. As a zombie I will say: hahahaha!

For the Subeta User that doesn't want their organs harvested you go to Personal then to User Dashboard  and then to Options and you can choose to opt out of this.

For everyone who decides to offer themselves up:
