PBS kids! The channel I only watched besides boomerang, Nick, and Cartoon network. PBS kids was the only cartoon channel we could catch at my grandma’s house since she didn’t have cable. PBS kids is a big part of my childhood, and I know it’s a big part of some of yours, so I will be talking about some shows that I enjoyed that I barely hear about anymore! This isn’t a ranked list! It’s just in order of what I remember.  

1. Word World

I genuinely loved this show as a child. I was always a kid who liked words I think, I was in spelling bees and had so many story books and maybe word world is a part of that. From the theme song to the delivery of most of the jokes I loved this. I have a memory of this playing in the background while doing multiplication cards. I thought I was Einstein man.

2. The electric company

Truthfully, I don’t remember much from this show other than the theme song and how much it reminded me of fresh beat band at times. This was one of my childhood favorites, maybe I’d remember if I went back and watched some of the episodes, anyways that guy with the hat is kind of creepy,, why’s he looking like that.

3. The Berenstein bears

Ah yes, the show that no one could agree on the name of! I honestly read the books more than I watched this, but I always related to the little girl bear. She was kind of my goat, and I’ll never forget the book where she couldn’t stop biting her nails and they wrapped them up in bandaged. (Was it a book, and episode, or both?)

4. Cyberchase

A show that I still watch to this day, because I think it’s the only one on this list that still runs on tv. (Don’t quote me on that!) I have fond memories of this show and thinking that the bird really sounded like that parrot on Aladin. Anyways, this was a problem-solving skill show. I think it’s mostly math, but all I remember from that show is math. Also, I think Buzz and Delete are my favorites, I’ve always wanted a friendship like they have </3

5. Martha speaks

Ending the list with my GOAT!! I love you, Martha!! (For those who don’t know she’s the dog). As a kid who talked a lot, and who talks a lot now, Martha was always one of my favorite shows, because I love words, and she always made me feel so normal to talk a lot. When I was younger, I always knew big words, I loved spelling words, I loved knowing the meanings so I could tell people what they meant. She was and always will be my idol. I love you; Martha Speaks. Also, guys don’t feed your dog alphabet soup!! They might end up being smarter than you.

Mitski has to be my favorite artist. She got me through my whole tenth grade semester. I’m at the point where I can guess most of her songs just from hearing the first few seconds of it!! I will be naming off my favorite albums from her, why it’s my favorite, and my favorite song from it without going into a deep dive because I have no idea what these albums are actually about! (This might’ve been the hardest thing I’ve ever done.)

1. Laren Hell

Laren Hell is one of Mitski’s more upbeat albums where it doesn’t sound like she’s gonna rip her heart out in the studio (not to say I don’t love that). The first time I listened to this was last year and I wanted to get up and dance! (I was in Geometry.)  This album came out in 2022 and has 11 songs that last for 32 minutes. This is me convincing you to listen to it. My favorite song from this album is Stay Soft!

2. Lush

Okay, everyone has heard a song from Lush rather that be liquid smooth or Abbey, you have heard it before! This album came out in 2012. It consists of 9 songs and is 26 minutes long and it also was a school project for Mitski (I think) So, unfortunately, I can’t add this to my record collection </3. Lush has some of Mitski’s best songs in my opinion, it would be in the first spot, but I enjoy Lauren Hell just a little more. My favorite song from this album is Real men.

3. Retired from Sad, New Career in Business

Retired from sad, new career in business was also a school project! This was released in 2013 and consist of 9 songs and is 23 minutes long. This is another album that had a few popular songs. Strawberry blonde and I want you are the most popular ones I’ve heard. This album makes me so sad, and I love it so much. It genuinely gives me chills because of how well she sings and conveys the emotions in these songs. My favorite song in this album is Shame.

4. Puberty 2

Puberty 2 is one that always makes me sad. This isn’t one I listen to often, but it is still one of my favorites. The songs have so much feeling in them, like there’s so much hope in these songs. It consists of 11 songs and is 31 minutes long. My favorite song from this album is Crack Baby.

5. Bury Me At Makeout Creek

This is one of Mitski’s more popular having songs like Drunk Walk Home, Francis Forever, First Love/Late Spring. You have most likely heard some of these before! It’s one of her louder albums, featuring more screaming or electric guitars more than her others. In this album the music feels like more of the focus over her voice. It consists of 10 songs and is 30 minutes long. My favorite song from this album is Townie.

6. Be the Cowboy

Be the cowboy! I feel terrible having this at the bottom of the list since it features some of her really good songs like Me and My Husband, Nobody, A pearl, Washing Machine Heart. I could go on! The only reason it isn’t is because a lot of these songs are overplayed for me. I mean, I could listen to Mitski alllll day long, but I guess since these are some of the first songs I listened to on repeat I’m a little burned out. I still love all of these songs and still listen to them daily! They just aren’t at the top of my list. This album consists of 14 songs and is 32 minutes long and was the first Mitski vinyl I bought! My favorite song from this album is Pink in the Night.

It’s been a while since I’ve done an overwatch blog, so I’m coming back with some of my favorite characters and the lore behind them. One of my favorite things about overwatch is the backstory they give their characters. In the world of Overwatch, it takes place in the future. There was an omnic war where robots and humans fought. Only some characters actually fought in the war, and there’s also a group of evil people who were in the group Talon. So, I will be yapping about backstories and maybe get more into the actual groups another day.

So, the first backstory video I watched was Hanzo & Genji Shimada

Hanzo ad Genji grew up in Hanamura, Japan. Their family was the Shimada clan, a family of assassins that was established hundreds of years ago. When their father died, he instructed that Hanzo straighten out his younger brother, Genji, who was a troublemaker. During a dispute between the two Hanzo was forced to kill his brother. With a sword, which he had promised to never use again, Hanzo abandoned his brother half dead. Genji was found by Mercy and his body is now mostly robot. After the healing and coming to terms with his new body Genji studied with Zenyatta, who is monk, and learned peace, he forgave his brother. They met 20 years later; Hanzo would sneak into the castle and sit by a shrine that was made for Genji. Genji found him, but Hanzo didn’t know it was him until omgee dragons!! The two brothers have these dragon spirits that only the Shimada clan has. At the end of the fight Genji tells him that he forgave him and all that’s left to do is forgive himself.

Next up! Hana Song aka D.Va

Hana grew up in Busan, South Korea. She was a professional gamer, who was chosen to be a part of a group called MEKA since they claimed gamers would be able to control the mechs easily. D.va was chosen for her outstanding skill. South Korea established the mechanized armored drone unit to fight against a colossal mechanical monstrosity that rose from the depths of the East China Sea. The robotic creature caused terrible damage to coastal cities before retreating back to the city. In her video she is seen overworking herself, fixing her own mech and improving it as the robot evolves. She leaves to fight it on her own when it suddenly rises from the sea due to not having enough time to wait on her team. She fights the giant robot all by herself and ends up breaking a leg where she promises to take more time to rest.

Niran PruksaManee aka Lifeweaver

Niran grew up in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He was the middle child in an extremely wealthy family who always had high expectations for their children. His family believed in perfection, and he did not. He spent all of his time planting alongside his family’s gardeners. Early in his life he was too smart for everything, often getting answers wrong for overcomplicating them. His parents sent him to the prestigious Vishkar Architech Academy, desperate to instill order in Niran. While at the school Niran discovered hard light, something the founder couldn’t share due to Vishkar implementing restrictions to technology. Using the structure, Niran created something new. An unstable biolight that could create organic material and heal the world in a blink of an eye. Niran wanted to gift it to the world, but Vishkar wanted to claim ownership of the invention. Niran ended up leaving the school and his parents begged for him to return, cutting off all of the money he had from them. Niran retreated to the Atlantic Arcology where he stayed and perfected biolight, making it more stable. 

Shop is an album made by Jack Stauber that aired on adult swim in 2019. It consists of 8 songs, and I will be talking about the videos!

The musical begins with the main character struggling to choose a free sample. You can only get one and he’s not sure which on to get. The person selling it tells him to just take one and he walks away saying he’ll come back for it.

1. Milk

In the song milk a guy runs into an old lady saying “Pecan”. She wants pecan cookies, and he reaches to get them but grabs the wrong ones. The lady asks if he’s deaf then asks for him to get the right one, saying she’ll try the other cookies next time. He grabs the box but when he looks down the lady disappears. When he gets his milk, he sees that it’s expired.

The song consists of many questions. Like asking what kind of milk are you? What kind of life did you live? Was your life good or bad? Did you have friends or were you all alone? Did they laugh at you, or did you laugh with them? The song ends with saying your days are gone and the grocery list goes on. The guy eventually finds one that isn’t expired and puts it in his basket.

2. Bread

It starts with the guy looking at artisanal vitamin bread. A man grabs it from him and the guy calls it interesting and asks about it. The man says it’s for his dog, he says doesn’t shop there and practically calls the food inedible. The guy makes a joke about his dog being artisanal bred and the man asks if he’s deaf because he just said the dog ate the bread. He then leaves. 

The song starts with talking about everything artisanal. A house, a wife, a car, an artisanal life. Just to see what people would think of him. He asks, “What’s an artisanal me?” Which people are his artisanal friends? Does he impress you? Can he hide behind his success? Is it really success if he lets his things talk to him? Then they all go away and he’s on his own again. He then grabs a bread branded ‘WOWZA’ and puts it in his basket. (I just think it’s a fun name.)

3. Paper towels

This starts with a couple across the aisle looking for vegan hotdog buns. Something falls on the man’s head and it pans back to the guy where a glass falls in front of him. The employee asks if he just broke that, the guy says no. He then gets down and starts picking the glass up before cutting his finger. The guy asks if he’s okay, but the employee starts yapping about how the glass shattered instantly but it would take weeks to put it back together and it’ll never be the same. The guy keeps trying to talk but the employee keeps going on how even with his finger, it cut so easily but it’ll take years to heal. Then he tells the guy the paper towels are on aisle 8. He even says the more paper towels you use the more of a mess you make.

The songs start with saying messes are irreversible, unraveling, unstoppable. How can you contain it when it’s nonstop and endless? Can he put a halt on his? There’s an infinite gain but there’s a break in the chain. It’s out of his hands, the universe will expand! It ends with him finding and indestructible washrag. He even says, “No downside to mass producing these.”

4. Oatmeal

Starts with a man asking to guy to move out of the way. The man is clearly troubled and in a rush. He’s on a tight schedule and needed to be in the frozen sections 3 seconds ago. He won’t be able to have peas with his dinner this Wednesday! He says your body is like a clock and in you don’t plan accordingly you could, y’know. He stops explaining due to the fact he was behind. He then walks away, and the guy looks at oatmeal. A whole box isn’t expensive, for 100 bowls. He could eat it for the rest of his life!

The song starts with him saying he could have oatmeal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He could have it when he wakes up and brushes his teeth. He could have an oatmeal job, and oatmeal home, oatmeal sleep. An everyday oatmeal routine. Life could have rhythm and harmony! The vibe of the song changes and talks about unexpected circumstances. How could you know what will happen? Is routine human? Is it a master? It’s disastrous without one, but you can adapt to chaos faster. The guy just grabs a mystery flavored oatmeal.

5. Coffee

He thinks he has the whole aisle to himself until a lady appears out of nowhere with a cup of coffee in her hand. The lady talks very fast before just stopping, her entire face drops, and he’s confused. She fell asleep and all it took was a sip of the coffee to wake her up. She looks at the time and says she forgot her son at daycare. She asks his name, and he sits in silence, so she asks if he’s deaf, she then leaves and says she’ll pray for ears before he spaces out.

The song starts with asking is it needed? The coffee. How it makes you feel alive, but do you really need it to survive? Just a sip, the coffee is coaxing him into having more, but he’s conflicted on if he needs any more. The coffee is turning into an addiction, he spends money on it and not anything important. He says maybe he needs a cup of self-control. The song ends with him just getting decaf coffee. 

6. Cheese (and all of the cheese puns)

In this song he doesn’t meet anyone. Instead, it starts by saying, “A dark walk through the five aisles of grief.

In the song he is overwhelmed by choice “This can’t brie”. There’s so much cheese and he doesn’t know which on he wants. “You gouda be kidding me. I can’t make these decisions on my provolone.” He’s conflicted and unsure on which one to chose. It’s a throwback to the beginning where he’s indecisive. “Could someone else select my cheddar?” He’ll just look the other way and let the universe choose for him. He did! Dairy free maple coconut water cheese. He says I could’ve picked something better than that.

7. Finale

In this song he realizes that he can make his own choices. He could pick something better for himself than anyone else could! His decisions make him a good go-getter. All milk expires and sometimes your oatmeal/routines need to be tossed and something new can come out of it. Moderate your coffee! Life gets messy and the things you own do not define you. 

The musical ends with him going back to get the free sample. He tries strawberry and thinks it’s amazing! He asks to try the other and the man tells him no. 

1. Don’t Wanna Know 1:03

This song starts with Bo asking a bunch of questions and then saying he doesn’t want to know the answer. That’s about it! He starts to have a crisis asking if anyone else is out there, saying he thought it would be over by now but there’s still a while to go. “Never mind, I don’t wanna know.”

(Skipping the next song!! It’s just Bo talking about feeling like poop.)

3. All time low 0:54

In this song Bo talks about his mental health and how it is approaching and ATL. He says he’s okay when he sleeps, but as soon as he wakes up, he has a feeling deep inside. “A few things starts to happen. My vision starts to flatter. My heart, it gets to tapping, and I think I’m gonna die.”

4. Welcome to the internet 4:35

One of the most popular songs in this whole album. Bo sings about the internet and everything you can see and do! There’s a duality from calmer things to more drastic incidents that can occur. From straining pasta to someone dying, there’s everything! It’s everything, all the time and there will only be more the more people feed into it. He speaks about how not even that long ago everything was different until the newer generation who was exposed at such a young age. The younger people who were easily drawn to iPads and phones. At first it was meant to be a breakthrough, we were meant to be in power, but we’re just controlled by our devices. “Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime.” 

5. Bezos II 0:45

Unlike the first song, Bo doesn’t really talk about Jeff Bezos, all he does is say his name over and over with little adlibs like. “You did it!” and “Congratulations!”. “Jeffery Bezos”

6. That funny feeling 5:01

In this song Bo sings an acoustic song about a funny feeling. He uses many statements explaining what this feeling can be. Some things more serious than others like “Obeying all the traffic laws in Grand Theft Auto V” or “A book on getting better hand delivered by a drone.” Bo sings about how we were overdue, but it’ll be over soon. “There it is again, that funny feeling.”

7. All eyes on me 5:02

Bo starts this song by singing and telling everyone to put their hands up and get out of their seats. All eyes on him. He starts asking the listener questions. If they’re nervous or having fun. Bo then talks to us about how he quit five years ago due to having panic attacks on stage. He spent his time improving to get better and says that he did. He decided to preform again in January of 2020 but “the funniest thing happened”. He continues to sing saying it’s almost over, but it just begun. He tells the listener don’t overthink it. But then goes on to say the ocean is rising and the world is ending. For the rest of his song, he repeatedly says get your hands up, get out of your seats, all eyes on him. “You say the whole world’s ending, honey, it already did.”

8. Goodbye 4:09

In this song Bo starts off bidding his farewell. He talks about how hard it is to joke with no one laughing in the background. Is this how it ends, he asks before he promises to never go outside again. He talks about losing power, how time is passing by slowly. He tells the listener next time they should be the one entertaining and he’ll sit on the couch and watch. He wants to hear you tell a joke with no one laughing in the background. He feels like he’s even crazy, he feels like he’s right back where he started. All he ever wanted was a little bit of everything all of the time. He goes back to the song comedy, saying if he wakes up in a house that full of smoke he’ll panic. So, call him up and tell him a joke. Is this really the time for jokes though? “Well, well, look who’s inside again.”

9. Any day now 0:57

A short song of him saying it’ll stop any day now. That’s it! “It will stop any day now.”

That’s concludes inside! I may do the outtakes if I dare to rewatch it and not cry from the chicken song.

Inside is an album that came out in 2021 made by Bo Burnham. It captured the attention of many young people who were trapped in their home due to quarantine. I will be talking about the songs from it as someone who is a huge fan of all of his work!! This will only be disc 1. I’ll do the rest another time.

1. Content 1:36

Content is the first song of the album where Bo speaks on being back online after disappearing for years. He starts off saying that he didn’t expect to be inside of his home all of the time. He talks about not being able to leave and being a bit depressed about it, doing little things to get back into the swing of things. “I’m sorry I was gone, but look I made you some content.”

2. Comedy 5:19

Bo Burnham starts this song off saying how everything is changing, and no one knows what’s happening. Everything is happening all at once. Politics and climate change are overwhelming and it’s getting harder to be a comedy in such serious times, who wants to joke at a time like this? He wants to make a change but feels like comedy isn’t something that can make a change. He says he should use his voice, but also says that white men have had the stand for at least four hundred years so maybe he should just step out of it. But no! Bo wants to help without standing on the sidelines, even though he really knows he can’t. “Should I be joking at a time like this?”

3. Facetime with my mom (tonight) 2:20

In this song Bo starts by saying he’s dropping everything to FaceTime his mom. He speaks about their conversations and dynamic. His mom is clearly an older woman who enjoys The Blacklist. He speaks about the odd relationship between him and his dad, the two barely talk with one another. His mother covers the camera with his thumb and Bo gets frustrated, we see him literally yelling at the phone. We never see his mom or dad. “I’ll waste my time facetiming with my mom.”

4. How the world works 4:15

This song takes the view of a show that is clearly meant for the children. He speaks about how the world works and that it can only work when everything works together. He speaks of thing in a very childish way, speaking about animals mostly and how they all give and get what they need. He then pulls out a sock puppet named “Socko”. The sock is more realistic than Bo, the way he speaks of things is devastating. Bo asks, “What can I do to help?” Socko tells him to educate himself and Bo makes a statement saying that he’s the one in control here. Socko argues against this but is almost pulled off of Bo’s hand. He begs to not go back to where it is he is when he’s not on his hand which is a state between not being dead, but not alive either. They end the song normally, but Socko gets taken off his hand anyway. “Remember who’s on whose hand here.”

5. White Woman’s Instagram 4:00

In this song Bo talks about just what the title is! In the song he names out very simple things. An open window, a novel, and avocado. Nothing that we all haven’t seen on Instagram before! The song is mostly repetitive, but in the video, we see Bo doing many poses of pictures I know I’ve seen on there before. At the end it gets a bit sad, speaking of the prospective from this woman. Apparently, both of her parents have passed. A lot of people think that it’s Bo’s actually story. I’m not very sure the condition his parents are in, but Bo made a bunch of jokes in the past about his parents being deceased. “Is this heaven? Or is it a white woman’s Instagram.”

6. Unpaid Intern 0:34

In this extremely short song Bo sings about being an unpaid intern, running around and not having any time for yourself at all. Questioning how most of the people there can even work there, but who cares? You’re just an intern. “I’m an unpaid intern.”

7. Bezos 1:58

This is one of out the five Bezos song Bo Burnham made and I’d say it’s the most the popular one. He tells us that Jeff is an entrepreneur, and he was born 1964. He’s above them all! Zuckerburg and Gates and Buffet can suck it, he says! Also has a crazy piano riff. “C’mon Jeffery, you can do it.”

9. Look who’s inside again 1:23

It might seem like it, but this isn’t the most popular songs! Almost everyone has heard this title before, but it actually comes up in a latter song, singing the part we all know and love. Bo talks about how it is to be funny while being stuck in his home. How hard it is to make a joke and feel funny without an audience in front of you. “Trying to be funny and stuck in a room.”

10. Problematic 3:13

So, before Bo Burnham disappeared from the internet, he had a bit of controversy attached to his name. During the times of 2020 we had people using their voices for things no one really needed it for, a lot of people who didn’t even have the authority to cancel him did try to! It didn’t go too far after those two years. He speaks about how times are changing. Is anyone gonna hold him accountable? He talks about the awful jokes he made when he was younger, but he isn’t using his age as an excuse. He did those things, but he does regret them. He ends the song saying sorry over and over “Isn’t anybody gonna hold me accountable?”

11. 30 2:34

In this song Bo talks about how he just turned thirty. We his birthday pass as we watch him make this series. He talks about how he got used to being so young, but now he’s thirty. He also speaks on how his granddad did so much at the age of 30 and he’s not doing anything, and everyone is having children except him. “Now I’m turning thirty.” (Not putting a picture. He was half naked for like most of this album, man.)

Dhmis is a show that most kids found and probably weren.t supposed to watch! The show has these three puppets who live together. Yellow guy, duck, and red guy. (Idk if they’re actually called that!!) The three of them were introduced to very educational creatures, who turned out to either be evil or very evil! I will be yapping about their songs.

1. The creativity song

The song starts with the three sitting at their kitchen table. A little notepad opens and sings about the idea of creativity. It’s her favorite idea, and she thinks creatively. She tells them all to think how she does, that she sees things differently and expresses herself different. She begins to convince to see everything like she does. Clowns are bad and green isn’t creative, of course!! Listen to the rain, and your brain, and your heart! They took a bit too far though.. (Literally covering a heart in glitter.) Anyway!! They all agreed to never be creative again!

2. The time song

This episode starts with red guy being excited about their show that starts in five minutes, Duck says there’s not enough time. The clock on the wall speaks and says, “There’s always time for a song!” He then goes on to explain what time is. You can put it on the wall or wear it on your wrist!! The past is far behind us and there is no future. It only goes forwards and no other way. The clock encourages them to learn more about time. Times flies by when you’re having fun, but there’s a time and a place for mucking around! Now it’s the future, and there’s so much more stuff you can do! Fish everywhere. The three begin asking questions about time, is time real? Is it just someone humans made up? This angers the clock, and he makes yellow guys ears bleed. The clock then ages all three of them rapidly making their bodies decay, all except yellow guy. He’s only a clock though, eventually everyone runs out of time!

3. The love song

This episode starts with the trio on a picnic. Duck has prepared a chicken picnic!! Yellow guy sees a butterfly, but Duck squishes it which makes him run away in tears. A butterfly (a little baby pigeon) sees yellow guy crying in the tree and says, “Makes you sad, doesn’t it?” The butterfly begins to sing about hatred and darkness, and that it doesn’t have to be that way. We could live in harmony! He takes yellow guy by the hand and tells him about love as they fly through the sky! Love is everywhere, it’s a feeling inside that everyone has. Red guy and Duck are left at the picnic, after they finish their chicken, they go look for yellow guy. The butterfly continues to speak on love, and everyone names what they love. Yellow guy loves everything, and they tell him that he’s doing it wrong. He must save his love for his “special one”. They tell the story of Micheal, the loneliest/ugliest boy in town. Everybody called him a freak, so he lived on his own underground, but everyone has a special one. Including Micheal. They begin speaking of pure love, that is protected with a ring. They worship a king named Malcolm who they feed gravel, or he becomes angry. They begin cleaning yellow guy’s brain and telling him to join their king. The episode ends with yellow guy waking up in a tree and his friends apologizing.

4. The computer song

The computer song begins with the trio playing a board game, it asks a question. “What is the biggest thing in the world?” They don’t know the answer, so they look at a globe! The globe turns and starts to sing but is interrupted by a computer. He’s a computery guy!! He speaks of his digital life and offers to show them. He speaks of how clever he is, and he can print pictures. He’s a clever smart boy, who can do it all digitally! The three agree to use his help and starts asking tons of personal questions, red guy tells him to shush over and over eventually yelling at him to shut up and trying to turn him off. The computer screams at him to not touch him, and they are transported inside of the computer. He introduces them to his digital home, and all of the different things that can be done! There’re over three things to do like pi charts, digital dances, and digital style. This sequence repeats multiple times before red guy begins spiraling. He tries to turn the computer off, following the cord to a room where he sees everything behind the scenes of dhmis. The episodes ends with his head exploding like a balloon and confetti coming from it!!

5. The healthy song

No more trio! Red guy is gone now. Duck and yellow guy sit in the kitchen and yellow guy speaks, “Something’s different!” He says, Duck replies, “Something’s missing.” As if they don’t remember their friend, despite pictures of him everywhere. Yellow guy points to something asking was it him, a piece of bread singing a intro to a song. A can begins singing to them asking if they’re hungry. She says, lots of people get hungry. A piece of steak then begins to sing about hungry coming from your body. It must be hungry, but not all tasty snacks are good to eat. A phone begins to ring which stops the music, Duck goes to answer the phone. When he says hello, he wakes up in a hospital bed. The song continues. The steak talks about the body, it’s like a house and food goes through the chimney. If the food is good, it stays for a party, but if it’s bad then it has to leave through the cat flap. Duck says it doesn’t make sense and the phone rings again. He answers it and they’re at the kitchen table again. The song continues speaking about what you can and can’t eat. Duck is distressed the entire time they’re explaining it all.  The fridge begins singing to Duck about food tasting great, Duck says he doesn’t want to do this anymore and knocks down the camera as he runs away. Again, he’s in the hospital bed. The can and the steak continue to sing to yellow guy about what he can and can’t eat. Again, we see Duck in the hospital bed, his organs being pulled out and eaten by a giant giggling can. They begin chanting that you shouldn’t eat food from a stranger’s plate. The episode ends with yellow guy stuffed with food and cans with Duck’s face all over the table. The phone rings again. We also see red guy in the credits, walking with a briefcase. 

6. The dreams song

This episode starts with yellow guy in his bed, crying. The three of them shared a room. He says, “Goodnight, guys, I miss you.” A lamp begins singing to him about dreams, yellow guy says no and turns the lamp off, laying back down. The light comes back on and continues, yellow guy refuses but all he can do is listen to the lamp. The lamp says you can dream about anything! Riding a horse or drowning in oil.  Yellow guy wakes up and sees the lamp who begins singing about bad dreams. He begins sinking into his bed which is now made of oil. Then we see red guy, who wakes up in an office room. Someone asks him to file files, and red guys says, “Wouldn’t it be funny if these files came alive?” He begins singing and everyone starts at him, saying “That sounds really boring.” (the same thing he said to that notepad). We see his life; how boring and repetitive it all is. So, what does he do? He takes off his clothes and gets on stage and begins singing the creativity song. Everyone boos at him, but one person is interested. Yellow guys father, Roy, who is a businessman who showed up a bunch of times throughout the series. It’s Father’s Day after all!! All of these songs take place on June 19th, which is a day that Father’s Day took place on. The curtains behind him falls and he’s in a dark room. he hears the dream song and follows the noise. He sees multiple screens and one displays the lamp singing about yellow guy who’s is sobbing. Red guy presses buttons which begin to show everyone they’ve came into contact with along with other things. This contains for a while and yellow guy sobs; red guy keeps trying to fix the problem and he feels Roy touch his shoulder. He turns around and is frightened by the man. Red guy follows a cord and says, “I wonder what will happen?” He unplugs it and guess what? Everything starts over and the day is June 20th.

In Overwatch there are countless numbers of characters, but only a few have been added since Overwatch 2 came out and I will be talking about them!

1. Juno- Support

Juno was just added in season 12, the most recent season! She’s from mars and is currently the only alien in the cast. She levitates and has a speed boost and uses a burst gun that can heal and do damage. She also has an ability called pulsar torpedoes that auto locks onto everyone and either heals or does damage. Her ultimate orbital ray heals the teams and increases their damage.

Their ultimate tectonic shock sends shock waves towards the enemy team.

3. Mauga- Tank

Mauga was added in season 8 and he’s probably the biggest tank on the cast. He has two guns, one that shoots regular and one that shoots bullets that set you on fire. One of his abilities is called cardiac overdrive which causes nearby allies to gain health when they do damage. His other ability called overrun makes him run into the enemy team, and stomp! His ultimate cage fight traps everyone around him in a big circle, if you walk into it your trapped and you can’t do damage if you’re outside of it because it’s a big shield. 

4. Illari- Support

Illari was added in season 6! She has a gun with the ability solar flare that can shoot rapid fire or charge up and do more damage. She heals a decent amount with it, but has to reload frequently, but she has a healing pylon which she can throw out and it can heal until it’s broken. She also has an ability that makes her launches her away and enemies back. Her ultimate is called captive sun, she goes into the air and if she hits you, you’ll get sunstruck and explode!!

5. Lifeweaver- Support

He has a healing blossom that heals about 70 or 80 health back at a time, he also has thorn volley where he shoots thorns from his hand. He also has a dash, and an ability called petal platform where it lifts you into the air. His main ability is a life grip where he could pull you out of battle. His ultimate is called tree of life, anyone standing near the tree gets extra health and is healed. The tree can be broken.

6. Ramattra- Tank 

Ramattra was added in season 2, and he’s one of the few omnic characters. His weapon is called void accelerator which shoots a stream of projectiles. He has a really lame barrier that last like six seconds, and another ability called ravenous vortex. It slows you down and if you fly it pulls you to the ground. His main ability is his nemesis form where he just starts punching you. His ultimate is called annihilation where he goes into nemesis form and has a deadly swarm that attaches to nearby enemies.

7. Sojourn- Damage, Junker Queen- Tank, and Kirirko- Support

All three of these characters were added in the first season of overwatch 2!! Sojourn has a rail gun, that can shoot a high impact shot that can pierce through enemies. She has a sliding ability, and another called disruptor shot that launches an energy burst and deals damage if you stand in it. Her ultimate is called overclock where her rail gun takes less time to charge up.

He ultimate is called kitsune rush where she summons a fox spirit that rushes forward, increasing movements and decreasing cooldowns of allies in the path.

Ride the cyclone is a musical about six teens who died on a roller coaster accident. In the music they talk about what they were perceived as and sing about what they dreamt to be. I will be yapping about some of these songs!

1. The Uranium Suite

This sing gives me chills so bad?? The song where Karnak explains their deaths, saying he even told them to ride the cyclone? It gets me so bad, especially hearing them explaining what they felt while dying. It was confusion, since they had no idea what was going on. They felt strange, but they felt so many other things at once. It also gives me the feeling that they’re realizing nothing really even mattered, especially in such a small town like uranium, there’s also the shock that they’re finally out of that dead end town. 10/10 I love the choirs’ voices together.

2. What the world needs

Ocean made my blood boil! This song is so catchy, but it’s really sad to see that’s how she viewed these people that were supposedly her friends. She was extremely full of herself, just bragging about what a good person she is when she actually isn’t. Imagine your friend since pre-k calling you and your entire group zeros? Anyways, 4/10 for being catchy.

3. Noel’s Lament

Imagine being the most romantic boy in town and this is your song? It’s pretty inappropriate, so I cannot go into full detail about this song. Noel wants to be in another era, he wishes to be Monique Gibeau in post-war France. Pretty crazy place, right? I love hearing his dreams, because it’s odd, but it’s interesting. He wants to live passionately, even if it’s rough. 10/10 this was the second RTC song I knew, and it still gives me chills. (I’m a little biased.)

4. Talia

Hearing how Mischa talks about Taila always makes me melt. “I want to take all of the pain from your soul and in the passion factory of my heart, transform it into functional joy.” Like what? That’s beautiful. He wants to marry this girl, that’s he’s never met, and he’s so passionate towards her. Since as Mischa says Ukrainian men only have two emotions, passion and rage! His voice is so beautiful, I have no idea what he’s saying, but it stills sounds good man. Also, I love the switch up since Mischa enjoys more music with techno like his previous song. Anyways, 10/10 the note at the end was angelic. 

5. Space age bachelor man

I love Ricky so much, he’s such a weirdo. In RTC Ricky didn’t talk while he was alive, he was a mute, but after he died, he began to talk. The point is Ricky couldn’t/wouldn’t talk. So, how does one cope with being mute? Imagining that he was sent from aliens evolved from cats. He was the savior of the zolarian race. This is also a pretty inappropriate song, but Ricky talks about how we should all just love each other. Life is hard enough, but being negative only makes it harder. 10/10 for the lessons and the cat people.

6. The ballad of Jane Doe

Honestly, top one song for me. The way the song starts makes you feel worse for her in her situation. She had no idea who she was, she wasn’t anything but a body with a doll head. She was begging just to know who she was. She talks about death, someone pointed out how when you lose your head it’s alive for a few more seconds after. She heard the anguish of the street. Then, it feels like anger. She feels rage over being the one who doesn’t remember anything. She doesn’t know anything and doesn’t have anything. Not even her friends remember who she is. 10/10 Imagining singing upside down with those notes?

7. Sugar cloud

Constance realizing that she has a good life. When she was alive, she despised her parents for being happy in Uranium city, but dying showed her that all of the good things that happened to her happened in Uranium city. She was the nicest girl in town, and there was nothing wrong with that.  9/10 her voice gives me chills, point deducted for that stupid recorder.

Overwatch 2 is a live game that lets you team up with friends across platforms and devices. It has a diverse number of characters to pick from and here are some duos that I’ve played in the game!!

1. Ashe & Cassidy.

Truthfully, the only thing is that they’re both from Texas and have lor! Nothing about their gameplay is particularly made for duos, but it’s an honorable mention due to being the first one I ever played. They do both have ultimate’s that are terrifying to hear at the same time. Ashe has B.O.B, a big robot butler that she throws out and he eliminates everyone in his path. Cassidy has Deadeye, which means he can auto lock on a few people and eliminate everyone in his sight (Also, there’s a tumbleweed.)

2. Reaper & Sombra.

Probably the most fun of all of the ones I can name, but definitely the most annoying to play against. This duo makes it very easy to sneak behind teams, since both characters are stealth characters. Plus, their ultimate’s work together really well. Sombra’s being EMP while hacks the enemy for a short amount of time. Reaper’s being death blossom which pretty much eliminates the entire team, especially when they can’t use abilities.

3. Mercy & Brigitte.

One of the most efficient support duos! Brigitte heals when she does damage, so having a mercy pocketing her the entire game isn’t necessarily that bad. Mercy damage boosting Brigitte while she’s healing the entire team is a great strategy!

4. Moira & Ana.

Moira and Ana can both do amazing healing if needed, but Moira does a lot of damage for no reason! They work well together due to Ana’s ultimate which is a nano boost. Moira’s ultimate is coalescence which allows her to shoot out a huge beam of healing for allies, and damage to opponents. Moira being nano boosted while doing that is bound to eliminate a few people.

5. Bastion & Mei.

Two of the nicest people in overwatch probably. Mei and Bastion make a great duo, their sitting emotes together make me so happy. Mostly their ultimate’s that go together. Mei can freeze the entire team if positioned correctly, her ultimate being blizzard. Bastion is able to take out however many people she froze with his ultimate Configuration: Assault which allows to drop three missiles. 

6. Hanzo & Widowmaker.

Despite Hanzo being the best character ever and Widowmaker being the worse person in the game (I’m a hater), this duo works pretty well if you’re good at them. Both characters take a specific amount of skill to play them. Imagine having that much aim on your team? Then their ultimate’s, Widowmaker’s is Infra-sight, which gives the whole team the ability to see opponents wherever they are for a short amount of time. Hanzo’s ultimate is called Dragonstrike. He shoots these two huge dragons out of his bow. They only go in a straight line which isn’t a problem if you can see through walls, right?

7. Symmetra & Echo.

Honestly, their color palettes match and so do their sitting emotes, but that’s kind of it. A lot of duos are mostly for appearance wise for me, including Ashe and Cassidy. Echo does so much damage and her ultimate, duplicate, allows her to duplicate anyone on the opponent team. Symmetra’s ultimate is Photon barrier which puts up a giant shield, the team can walk through it, but it is definitely useful at time. Plus, her turrets are very useful and do tons of damage. Other than them being fancy that’s about it.
