I should rewatch ML S4 in order, now that all twenty episodes released to date are out in English

(no idea when any more episodes are coming in any language, and in particular the joke that 4x05 will be the last released of the season is sounding less and less funny. also 4x05 and 4x20 not being out yet means 4x22 is only the one hundredth episode if the New York and Shanghai specials count as episodes.)

All seventeen currently extant DVD sets of Miraculous Ladybug as sold on Amazon France, with a handwritten note reading "Enjoy!" with a smiley face.

Thea-kitty has climbed into the empty box in which the DVDs arrived.

And hey, these have audio description tracks! Solely in French, I imagine, but my US season 1 DVD set does not have any audio description at all…

update: I have found the Blu-ray drive!

I have done math on inadvisable expenditures, and it looks like the Miraculous Ladybug DVDs for the French market, there's currently seventeen covering the first three seasons. I could acquire two-thirds of those on Amazon dot com right now (yay stimulus), for like 350 USD, not counting tax or shipping.

I could instead Paypal somebody in France enough money to buy all seventeen volumes of DVD on Amazon dot FR (12–15 as a box set, the other box sets being unavailable), plus enough money to mail those directly to my US address, plus idk 40 EUR for that person's time and trouble, and it would cost me distinctly less than 350 USD. because the DVDs—which would be new, not in whatever condition the Amazon dot com resellers happen to have them in—total 129 EUR.

(mind you this is only worth it if I can rip those to my hard drive, French subtitle files openable in Notepad and all, and if the French subtitles are based on the French audio, rather than being the translations of the English subtitles Netflix has stuck us with.)

I don't know what I was expecting to write tonight—I know what I was planning to write (firelight), but I don't know what I was expecting to—but I'm pretty sure neither more like spears than hearts chapter 2 nor nine lives, snake's eyes fragment 10 was it

I have now an essay of sorts on [community profile] allthemiraculous about Miraculous Ladybug canon queer, written to introduce someone entirely unfamiliar with the show to how very queer its cast is. it's on Dreamwidth now because that is too many words to exist only in my Discord PMs.

me: This episode transcript stops several minutes before the part of the episode I wanted to check.
me: I'm fix this.
me, two hours later: Done! Still needs some cleanup, but all the dialogue is there! …I think.
me: —I have no idea what I was looking for in this transcript.

I know I have stuff on Dreamwidth I haven't looked for yet, but this here is about as progressed as I'm likely to get re Tumblr unless that "find your reblog comments" tool magics itself up.

number of times I've marked the Lila anon's verbatim-identical† comment on today's fic as spam: ||||/ ||||/ |

thinking about going through and clicking Spam on every comment she's ever left, because it's one thing for AO3 to do fuck-all because her unwanted roleplay comments that aren't associated with an AO3 account are annoying, another for AO3 to do fuck-all when the said comments are spammy. timestamps of these comments, per Gmail, are 1:14a, 1:30a, 1:39a, and 1:43a, as of 1:44a when I post this post; you will please to observe I opened Create Entry at 1:40a.

illustrative examples of previous Lila-anon comments: "you're full of something", "go on and sound your horns", "the ball's in your court now"

as far as we know, the Lila anon—I think we're assuming there's only one, excepting cases of people trying to troll her back and also taking the Lila persona—is the same person we were talking about in July. turning on comment moderation does not stop her; at least four of the times she hit [archiveofourown.org profile] P_Artsypants's Longest Night ch 31 were after turning comment moderation on. archive-locking the fic and turning off anon comments will both stop her, but I am among the writers who really wants to do neither.

*cranky*

ETA: per advice from [archiveofourown.org profile] HopefulNebula, leaving this one up and reporting the escalation to AO3 Abuse

† attempt 6 added a line; 7 added a word; 8 changed a word and fixed a spelling error; 9 added a word; am done with this footnote now unless future editions of the comment are significantly different

Me: I should watch the last three eps before working on any of the current projects; where the firelight fades is absolutely not changing for the finale and probably isn't for "Felix" either, but at least one of the current projects I should know what canon is on certain things before deciding whether to ignore it. Also watching "Chat Blanc" in English dub and "Ladybug" in production code order would be a good thing.

Also Me: I can't watch any episodes right now.

Me: …why not?

Also Me: not allowed!

Me: …why not?

Also Me: stuff to do first!

Me: …why? what stuff?

Me: *wracks brain*

Me: Literally the only things I can think of I have to do today are (1) watch for a delivery (2) canon consumption/review (3) fic.

Me: and I bet I'm not allowed to rewatch the other two canons either.

Also Me: nope, not allowed, stuff to do first

Me:

Me: aaaaugh

Miraculous Ladybug Secret Santa sign-ups!

(the exchange is being run on [tumblr.com profile] mlsecretsanta (Google Forms sign-up), not AO3, which I find bizarre, but this is also like the third or fourth year, so I guess it works?)
