Amphibia S1E5--Breakout Star--Liveblog
Breakout Star⦠makes me think of an artist having a big breakthrough⦠Ooh, maybe Sprigās gonna get to play his fiddle and sing a bit more!
Although⦠this is probably really out there, but Breakout Star also makes me think of lie⦠and escape artist, like Harry Houdini
Aha, breakout as in a disease breaking out, I see.
ā¦when did this first air again?
Hm. Could be worse timed, I suppose.
(Also, donāt worry about me seeing spoilers, I didnāt read anything or scroll lower than this box)
Phew, okay, not a deadly disease then, just pimples. Thatās normal for a girl your age, Anne. Just donāt pop* them Anne, I know itās tempting, but donāt do it, youāll run the risk of infection and scarring. And given that youāre in another dimension with completely different biology, letting foreign bacteria in to your face wounds might not be a great idea.
I still get pimples occasionally, which I always thought was weird, because Iām old, I always thought that shit was supposed to stop once my body was done with that whole puberty thing. Then I found out that stress can actually cause pimples⦠so yeah. That explained it. Sometimes I donāt consciously recognize when Iāve been stressed out, but then Iāll notice pimples popping up, so in that way, it does kinda work like a warning sing to take things easy for a bit.
Itās kinda funny that Anne burst out from the trap door, screaming at the top of her lungs, startling the others, and when they rightfully panicked, she was like āWhoa guys, calm down, what got yāall hopping??ā As if she didnāt scare them half to death XD
*(Future Lampman here: the morning after I wrote this, I found a pimple on my arm, and popped it without a second thought. Canāt even follow my own advice -_-)
Is it just me, or is Sprigās right arm longer than his left arm in this scene?
Whatever, I wouldāve never noticed if I didnāt pause here to grab the screenshot. The actual important part is that Anne fears these colorful additions to her face are gonna scare the townsfolk. Which, considering the reaction of the Plantars⦠yeah, fair.
So are these⦠actual plants? Or are they animals? Like the doom tree from a couple of episodes ago, which was just a bug hiding inside a tree stump, are these things bugs camouflaged as plants? Or maybe like caterpillars in their cocoons, disguised as beans? Or maybe theyāre parasites that want to get eaten by bigger insects or birds? Or again, are they actually plants that evolved a defense mechanism where they make a high pitched sound when chewed to scare away herbivores?
I kinda like that last idea⦠shit, thatās actually kinda cool⦠I should write that down in my big book of ideas to use if I ever write an original fantasy novel
Liam, a.k.a The Plant Slant if he was really embarrassed about his acne and also lacked any energy or enthusiasm.
