Time Drops #84: Week of December 22, 2024

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. the Ticketmaster

Christmas is almost here, Ticketholders!
And despite my efforts to be SMART about my plans as 2024 rushes to an end, my denial persists in expecting time to go slower for the sake of my future so I can figure out what the hell it's going to be. 
Financially speaking, said future continues to be bright for now. I still have terrible sleep habits, low energy and motivation on the days I don't work, and anxiety about the future, but my work hours have improved, so I'm feeling...better? More essential, maybe?
I'm slowly but surely retooling my resumés (one for the service industry and one for copywriting because I can’t catch a break with the resumé I have now, and it feels like I have to lower my expectations because the job I want doesn't want me), so all I can really do now is push through No Hours Winter and hope my financial hardship relief will get me through until my hours get back to normal or I find supplemental income.
This next part is just a reminder of everything anime-related that I plan to release next year, so skip it if you have it committed to memory by now.
I have the first part of my new Dragon Blog Z What If finished and scheduled for release next April, with a second concept kicking around in my brain, and my other projects still floating in the pipeline, including a work of original fiction, multiple Anime Spotlight and Anime-BAWklog updates, including Natsume's Book Of Friends (which not only dropped its sixth season dub all at once, but started releasing episodes for the seventh season on a weekly basis, giving me a lot to binge when the time comes), and two One Piece Multi-Piece entries now that I've finally finished the Fishman Island arc of One Piece. Expect me to have things to say about it...eventually. Also, I've decided to hold off on the RWBY comics until next year.
Also, as I did for October, I decided to be SMART with my time and plot out the entire rest of December (and 2024) here, for my benefit as much as for yours. As of now, I have no concrete plans beyond what you'll see below.

The year-in-content list has worn thin, but it will make a return at the end of these posts in the new year. In the meantime, please remember to comment at the bottom of this post, Become A Ticketholder because I know you haven't already, help out my ad revenue as you read, and follow me on social media at the links below to like what you see and to receive the latest news on my content and calendars thereof.
Here it is:

  • Thursday (December 26) - TBT Anniversary (on Tumblr, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn): The Grudge, movie rental guide typos, The Five-Year Engagement, The Magic Of Belle Isle, and Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding

  • Tuesday (New Year's Eve) - State Of the TicketVerse 2024
Here's what I have definitively scheduled--pending any unforeseen circumstances (like deaths, compromised transportation, financial complications, etc.)--for the year so far (updates pending in future Time Drops as I make more decisions):
  • Weekly Regulars:
    • GFT Retrospective / Zenescope - Omnibusted
    • DB What Ifs / Anime Spotlight / One Piece Multi-Piece / Dragon Blog DAIMA
    • TBT Anniversary
  • Thursday, September 4, 2025 (Jason David Frank's birthday) - Just the Ticket: Legend Of the White Dragon
I would like to get Zenescope's blessing first, but I'm considering compiling my GFT Retrospective reviews so far into an e-book form. Let me know what you think about this idea down below.

Ticketmaster,
Out.

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my...

Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the ser...

One Piece Multi-Piece #7: Impel Down

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. Master Of Tickets Before we set sail for this short issue of the One Piece  Multi-Piece , please chart a course by remembering to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read, and joining my Crew on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest snail transmissions of news on my content. I rarely post anything on YouTube, but I'm a frequent commenter and content supporter, and I recently commented on one of Doug Walker's videos as follows: It's not just you, Doug; Buggy the Clown didn't land for me in the anime at first. But he is AMAZING in the Impel Down arc (not going to spoil it, but the basic idea is the "Lock Up" episode of BTAS in Dante’s Inferno with One Piece characters, done as a full season). And that's pretty accurate. With no crew to help him fight, find his way, feed him, or...
