    They put out a video over Christmas explaining the situation. Peter moved to Germany for a while and has just found out that he and his girlfriend are expecting a child (a girl as it happens) and Lloyd has been making a tv show and released a separate album of his own.

    Their sign was that ERB isn't dead but the hiatus will continue for a while until they're both more in position to work on it again.

    Ah, so that's what happened. Thanks! Well, at least it's for happy reasons.

    Is that Iron Blooded Orphans? I remember starting it but stopping around episode 6/7, I think. What happened?

    >calls into work because he's too sick (flu) and the roads are too slick (freezing rain and mush)
    >manager gets cross with me cuz I didn't call in two hours ago
    >BITCH I WAS FUCKING ASLEEP (I put it more nicely, but still.)

    Fuckers should be grateful that I even tried to go to work today, given how the roads are. I felt a bit bad for not giving them a proper amount of warning before calling, but now... **** 'em

    Crap happens. And if you have the flu, you probably shouldn't be going into work even if the roads are good.

    True. Especially since this year's flu is apparently a bit more severe than usual.

    tbh, the reason I didn't wake up early to call off is because, while I was feeling kinda... not well... last night, I wasn't entirely sure if it was the flu (or a cold or whatever) or just being tired. When I woke up, the burning nose, muscle aches, and general malaise confirmed what it was...

    Combine that with me not wanting to **** them in the arse by calling off with only a half hour's notice, and you've got me trying to get to work, and then being like "Nope" and turning around. And then I **** them in the arse by giving them five minute's notice.

    Lolwhoops.

    But yeah, prolly gonna wake up early tomorrow and call off, if I'm still sick. Which, if it's actually the flu, I will be.

Given what's been hinted about him, this may be a separate ability that he has, much like Ruby's Silver Eyes. Or it could be the other way around or they could even be by-products of his Semblance because as you said, White Mages are known for their healing and defensive abilities. His Semblance could be versatile like Weiss's and to a lesser degree, Yang's.

    I agree.

    New Baki-Dou.

    Everyone continues to job to Musashi. This time it's spoilers:
    Hanayama
    end of spoilers

    I mean, at this point he's got enough feats that the jobbing feels consistent.

    Still - fuckin' Motobe being able to do anything to him feels wrong.

    This manga, given that they went so much time being like; "Lol guns are nothing etc - you fuckin' casuals," and now everyone is amazed by the power of a SWORD. I think there's a video essay in there somewhere...

    I know right? Especially when the opening is just repeating 'man man man human' again and again.

    kenny is just a really big nerd who happens to be one the best wrestlers in the world, seeing as how two best finishers are just video game names (the V-trigger and the one winged angel).

    not only that but he's big into fighting games. he's appeared at CEO 2 year in a row and has a feud with xavier woods of the new day.

    He also apparently became fluent in Japanese so he could watch anime without subtitles.

    I repeat, I'm convinced he's one of those old time "scrawny nerd turns into a muscular jock through this product" ad comics come to life. I wouldn't be surprised if he's low-key member of CBR...

    He is, isn't he? WHICH ONE OF YOU IS KENNY OMEGA?!

    Or is it me? Am I secretly Kenny Omega hanging out on CBR with the rest of the nerds?
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.
