In the past, shows used to create “clip episodes” which were made up of segments of other episodes with a brief wraparound story. This was usually done to save money, extend writing time, or cover for the absence of a lead character.

Is this something you miss? Is there one you've particularly liked? Given currently shorter seasons, are these still being used in any shows you’ve seen?

Come join us at

seasons_of_fandom! It's the landcomm formerly known as

lands_of_magic. A landcomm is a super fun community where the mods post challenges that you complete for points. Challenges could be related to writing prompts, art/graphic prompts, or just general meme-type questions/games. It was a blast last round, and you can use any fandom(s) you like. This comm reminds me of how participatory things used to be on Livejournal! I'm on team Summer. Tell them I sent you :)

I'm also super excited for

sunshine_revival which starts on July 1!

Ophie Dokie released us from the requirement to have one of these, but then linked to a video I thought was quite good (

BryonyClaire: Sabrina Carpenter has divided the internet - is satire dead?), and then I saw how it's been rolling out across the Internet. So here goes. ( cutting for the sake of people who are sick of this discourse. )

Surprisingly sapphic for Raye (who usually sings about relationships with men, but maybe she's bi?). I guess she was at World Pride? Hmm...

Summary:

"Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.

Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—

Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.

Here are the answers for the music meme. Thanks to

likeadeuce

adastreia

scintilla10 and

svgurl for the questions!

4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.

7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?

No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P

8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?

I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).

10. Favorite solo artist?

Halsey or Demi Lovato.

The rest of the questions:

14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:

21. A song or album from this year or last year:

Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.

22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?

28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?

Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.

35. A song you like in a language you don’t speak:

No idea what's being said, but it's so lovely!

38. Which was the first concert you went to?

I'm not entirely sure but probably a band that was playing for free at the Fair. Maybe Tower of Power?

40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Fall Out Boy was super fun - that also had a lot to do with the crowd but they sounded so good. Brooks and Dunn had such an impressive stage production - even from the cheap seats it looked fantastic and every song had a cohesive theme, plus I loved their banter. And then I have to mention the very first Jonas Brothers show I ever went to, when they weren't famous and Joe jumped into the small crowd and serenaded everyone with "Mandy" and it was totally incredible.

42. Your favorite(s) “no skips” album(s):

Badlands by Halsey (2019). Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer (2018).

49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?

Of course the original (1975) is great, but The Chicks cover of Landslide is SO epic imo (2002).

56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again:

A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers in 2008. This was the album that launched their career into superstar territory and I really remember every single song on that album. It came at just the right time in my life and it made me feel so understood. That album was so important to me, it's hard to capture how amazing it felt to listen to it for the first time but I'd gladly feel all that again :)

As it's Pride month, what are your memories of LGBTQI representation in TV shows? Do you have favorite characters, episodes, or shows that were significant in their depictions? How have you seen audiences responding to broader views of the population?

Since last time - I did not do very much on my vacation besides write (I had grand plans to do a lot of house cleaning but let's be honest here - I can only clean about one thing before I'm wiped, and should probably look into hiring someone to do actual cleaning one of these days), and I am even more into The Pitt.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning was very fun - not my favorite of the series, but had some moments I really enjoyed, some moments that broke my heart, and some moments that I could have done without. (And some moments that should have been in there but McQ and Tom have this thing about only including the things they think are absolutely necessary to entertaining the audience.)

We are short-staffed at work yet again but so far it hasn't been too bad (knock on wood), unlike the last time we were down the third shift position - we have enough part-timers to fill in right now. Tomorrow we're interviewing people for the job so hopefully someone will be in that slot sooner rather than later.

( Karate Kid: Legends notes, in list form, since I went tonight. )
