- Lego avengers : strange tails : https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt38692893/
I don't know why the shows is focussed on Hawkeye, which despite being good in the role, feel out of place when you see others Avengers available in the first part. The second part, with the catvengers team, is more interesting regarding the cast. It's a silly and funny show, nothing really big or surprising happening but enjoyable. 3.25 barks out of 5

- Gaorangers : https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wik.....ntai_Gaoranger
The next step on me going back in time, I reached the super sentai origins of Wild Force, a season of Power Rangers I quite liked. First season of the 21st century, it shows : the CGI was really hard to watch. I don't blame them, they did their best and didn't cheapen as far as i know, but it was visually difficult at times (i reached timerangers and despite being older, it is less a problem). The characters are good and the stories are ok, but it suffers from comparison to much better modern writing as a lot is trope based. Still it has some really good episodes and is good in general. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Marvel Zombies : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Zombies_(miniseries)
Taking a different take to the original Marvel Zombies comic story to give it a more focussed storyline and basing it on the events of the MCU, this mini-series was really surprising and interesting. I totally didn't expect how things played out and the ending, which is really good. I had a lot of fun watching it and look forward to the announced season 2. 4 barks out of 5

- Peacemaker (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peacemaker_(TV_series)
Doing a lot of heavy lifting to switch from the DCEU to the new DCEU without changing anything to the original season was quite something to accomplish, while also following the storyline of the animated creature commandos and still being a really good and unique super hero series. The struggles of most of the characters are really well written and there is some really good episodes, with quite the unexpected finale. The criticism of the modern American society (and westerner society in more general) is really a good point of this show. 4 barks out of 5

- Beast wars second : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast.....m_Transformers
I have been looking for this one for a long time, having found only a couple episodes before (but still haven't found beast wars neo, the sequel to this one). It's the Japanese sequel to Beast Wars (and so, kinda set between Beast wars start and end with Beast Machines, it's a bit more complicated than that but i'm simplifying) but it has no real link to it. It's a self contained story with really strong japanese values but in general it is really cool and has those really good animal transformers (those are among my favourites, I loved getting Leo Prime irl in the Legacy toyline). It's pretty old and cheap at times, but still a good show. 3.5 barks out of 5

- Kpop demon hunters : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPop_Demon_Hunters
Quite the surprise hit, I was not ready for how good it was. I knew it was super popular (my niece love it) but I didn't think it would go so deep with the Korean heritage and folklore. All without sacrificing a good story, good characters, great animation and banging soundtrack. It's just super good all the way, really well written and paced. I don't remember really being anything bad outside of the really classical predictable story. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Wolf King (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_King
The first season did a great job introducing us to the characters, the world, the backstory and setting up for the second season. But I feel that the second season is too short for all that is happening in it. There is too many characters which all need to get through their arcs with also getting a main plot and a secondary plot at the same time. It's still good, but it is sadly weighing down on the general feeling about the season, which feel rushed and compressed. It is sad, I would have liked to know more about the world. Maybe someday I'll check the book series, but I had never heard of it before this show. 3.5 barks out of 5

- The pitt : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pitt
I stumbled in my youtube feed on doctor Mike's channel and a critic of an episode of this show. Since I loved ER as a kid and this felt like a spiritual sequel (I know, it was originally imagined as a direct sequel but it didn't worked out). It is really well written, great acting, really strong storylines (I know I only did a couple of weeks working in an hospital, but I have seen many of the things seen there) and has such a great pace. I really loved it. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Alien earth : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Earth
I was really excited for this tv show, for I loved Alien 1 & 2 and the Alien Earth and some of the recent comics have been so good. And for most of the series, it is totally deliver. It starts to get less good when the Lost boys started to get over too much of the story and take over the fear of xenomorphs on earth. It is really sad as the last two episodes, especially the last one, ruin the series so much. 3 barks out of 5

- Pupstruction (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupst.....tion#Season_2_(2024)
This really good show is just cute and has such a catchy tune. It's still a really cute and nice shows for toddler (yes, i know, you can do the jokes), with really friendly characters. The stories are most often really toddler level with toddler level solutions that make no sense for anyone older thinking about it. It's just nice cute stuff for a babyfur like me. 2.75 barks out of 5

- Lego dreamzzz (season 3) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Dreamzzz
Introducing a totally new bad guy not related to the first season (contrary to the 2nd season one), it's a criticism of our screen based society, the death of imagination and lack of dreams. Pretty on the nose from Lego which sells toys based on imagination and that aren't on screens. It's full of references to sets and previous season, it is really interesting if a bit predictable. I quite enjoyed it. 3 barks out of 5

- NCIS : Tony and Ziva : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCIS:_Tony_%26_Ziva
Outside of featuring the two named characters and referencing some of the characters in dialogue, the links to the bigger NCIS franchise are non-existent, to a point to which is to make little sense. Still, it's a nice mini-series about a spy story with two interesting characters with a lot of backstory and so many troubles on their way (even if some are a bit too unbelievable). 3.25 barks out of 5

- 7 Deadly sins : signs of the holy war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_S.....ns_of_Holy_War
While I have been enjoying the sequel series the four knights of the apocalypse it is good to have a series that is set right after the original series and let us enjoy the original cast again. I haven't seen all the independent movies but I really enjoyed a return to the series. I really liked the original sins and their support cast and this series is focused on that, finishing arcs and moving forward with the aftermath that is skipped in the Knights. It was really nice if a bit short. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Star wars visions (season 3) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_.....ions#Volume_3_(2025)
As an anthology series, there is always some that you like more than others, for example I really struggle with the last episode of this one (even if I got why they wanted to tell) but it's hard to really be mad about such a project. So many good ideas, great visuals and such different visions of the star wars universe, nearly all that I would consider canon somewhere in this galaxy far far away and the long history from before the movies. The third part of the samurai sith story was as always really good, being a favourite, but there is a lot of others good ones. This anthology is just so good. 4.5 barks out of 5

- Kaamelot the movie : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaame....._First_Chapter
Kaamelot is one of my favourite tv shows, but I had been so disappointed by the last season that I never got around watching the movie until it was put on disney+ (and it was amusing, since I had actually requested this series to disney+ by the past). It is a much darker than what I came to love, a really silly full of joke version of the Arthurian myth while still using a lot of the most obscure part of it. You can see the original humour from time to time and the story in itself make sense, but it is just not what I was looking for. 2.5 barks out of 5

Talked to my psychiatrist today and mentioned with more insistence about my panic attacks. I was prescribed Alprazolam (Xanax) for them. It was getting to such a point as those paralysing attacks could last hours and put me in so much pain. I know have some in preparation for nordicfuzzcon.org

Just as the title says, trying to see if I can some affordable clothes.

I've got this idea of teenager Loupy in training pants and being told he is not ready for it yet as he had gone through the whole pack in a day. But I haven't found an artist that is available that would do those that I like, if anyone has suggestions ?

Socialising always end with me as a monster, so I'm the problem.

Tried to be helpful. Read what was said, took the problem per what seemed the most important factor. Offered solutions. People get in and ignore the factor and tell me I'm wrong.
Guy ask a question. I answer with examples regarding it, never said my own opinion. Guy complains I'm whining. Yeah, reporting other people's feelings is me whining. Left the two groups and thinking of giving my NFC ticket to Snow's mommy. That way I don't have to fear the convention for 6 months

I can't seem to get a break. Paying for NFC got my credit card blocked, they validated the payment but didn't allow any payment after... I discovered it when paying groceries, which of course gave me a panic attack as I kept seeing my card denied... I had some cash on me so I was able to pay but it was horrible... I headed to the bank, still in panic attack (which I didn't needed after the horrible one two days ago), told me it could be fixed for free on their website... gone on the website, it was impossible to do so... called them and they told me at the bank they were wrong, it can only be done through application on phone (which I don't have) or by them for 12 €... so I paid... This week is really hitting me...

Found the bluey house for cheaper than the first time I bought it, so I bought a second one and did my project of expanding the house, with bigger kitchen, playroom, bathroom with bidet and guest bedroom. You can see the pictures on my bluesky :
https://bsky.app/profile/loupylupin...../3m3a62s7n222z

So I said about my yearly depression period as my birthday and Christmas are coming up. I just got out of a nearly one hour panic attack, with my chest feeling like it had weight on it, crying and a feeling of utter loneliness and that I'm a monster only worth hating. It's horrible but it always end

I joined a rp discord channel to talk to some people there and they gave me a room sub-channel so here is the description I made, even if I don't think it'll be used : Loupy's room is quite different from your usual room for a 25 years old boy. It is brightly coloured with cartoons characters, in shade of pink, which contrast with the poster of anime and others tv shows fitting for a nerdy teenager. There is a bookcase full of nerdy things : boardgames, ttrpg, books and toys from his favourite series which is facing an adult sized changing table with a dresser full of adult sized baby supplies and toys, next to a crib full of plushies (to Loupy's embarrassment). A desk with a computer and a mix of school supplies, anime figurines and transformers and baby toys like a pacifier complete the furniture. A closet is set in the last wall, with a poster of a paddle with "Behave or be brave" and one with "Your rules : be padded, dress up as a girl, be a good princess" which always make the male wolf blush when he looks at it. I wanted to play with the duality of baby / teenager and being a boy and dressed as a girl.

- Haut Potential Intellectuel : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPI_(TV_series)
I discovered this series through the US adaptation, and wanting more I gave the french original version a shot. How gosh how did I regret it, all the characters are annoying, instead of focussing on the investigations, they focus on how none of the characters are redeemable and involve them in completely stupid storylines. I don't know why I kept watching despite it and I watched all the seasons available, but it was never made better. The US version (which just started its second season) is much better. 2 barks out of 5

- Lego Masters Jr : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Masters_Jr.
Continuing trying to find more of the Lego Masters (Can't seem to find some like the german one at all) I stumbled unto this version. The guy who won and said he would take the place of the Brickmaster is Brickmaster here with the usual Amy, but since the former one was coming from Denmark, for a smaller shorter season, it is not surprising they found someone closer. As one aimed for kids, the challenges are much more simpler but it is still cool to see what they do. 3.5 barks out of 5

- Star trek Strange New Worlds (s3): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_.....orlds_season_3
This series has been my favourite live-action so far and this season doesn't change that. It wasn't as good as the previous season, as some episodes (especially the last one) were a bit... not fully baked. Like they had some ideas but didn't fully consider how they didn't worked. The... forced solution of the final episode keep hitting me as how bad it was implemented while everything else could have worked, even if not great. But still, great actors, great star trek and good writing, I still gives it 3.75 barks out of 5

- Bad Guys 2 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bad_Guys_2
Fiona and I were looking forward toward this sequel, which delivered on what we were expecting. It is good that it starts and has a lesson how being good doesn't solve all the problems in your life. The animation is super great and there is so much happening. The story is cliché, it is super predictable but it still works despite the little mistakes (and forced return of some characters). It is so energetic and all over the place at times, it was really funny and engaging. 4 barks out of 5

- The sandman (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(TV_series)#Season_2_(2025)
Thanks to a friend, I had listened to part 1 & 2 of the Sandman audiobooks, so I knew the first story arc of this season but not what happened after it. So I was able to notice a lot of changes, as sadly they fused together so many stories together. It is still a coherent story and really interesting, but it is hard to recognise at times (like Fiona thought one character was another one, since she had the storyline of the second one but also of the first one), and the second arc was totally new (and the special final episode which is set as a spin-off story). There was so much they could have done to improve, but having to close at the second season was a big mark against it. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Creature commandos : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creature_Commandos_(TV_series)
I had skipped this one when it was released because they weren't much talk about it. It was not a good idea, as it ended being really good. The writing and songs is really fitting as a Gunn series and set up stuff for Peacemaker season 2 and in general for the new DCU. It is really short and a bit all over the place, but it has an interesting storyline and even more interesting characters. 3.5 barks out of 5

- Futurama season 10 or 13 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurama_season_10
A nice season, it is the same hard hitting humour and criticise of our society that I like so much. Quality, as always, is a bit up and down (the zoidberg episode was super annoying) but in general I had a lot of fun. It is always quite a surprise to see more episodes of that show, which was cancelled so so many times, so I'm always happy to watch. 3.25 barks out of 5

- Hurricaneger : https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wik.....i_Hurricaneger
Continuing going back in time with super sentai, it is getting really really hard, as the old stuff is so... old... The writing, filming and special effects are all set to values that modern cinema has moved away. I know it but sometimes it is hard to ignore it and relativise. It's getting even harder with Gaorangers, which I just started after finished this one. But it was still good and interesting. Super sentai knows what they want and even for a by-the-numbers season it was still quite a delivery. The ninja aspect is much better delivered in the original even if the Power Rangers adaptation did better on the story. But the anniversary movies do so much for the world building too. 4 barks out of 5

- Lego Star Wars : rebuild the galaxy (s2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_.....ild_the_Galaxy
Changing the title for the second season made it hard to find it on Disney, because it has a crappy search system, which stumped Fiona and I when we decided to watch it. It still really good, working out a lot of the odd stuff of Lego Star Wars and the real Star Wars universe together in a really amusing and silly way. It sadly suffers from being only 4 episodes long when they clearly had enough material to do much much more. As someone who has a Lego Star Wars collection and that make stories which are like Rebuild the galaxy, a mix of all eras and such, I really enjoyed it... I also would like more toys from this series but they sadly don't release many (I bought all but the Black Falcon). 4 barks out of 5

- Superstore : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstore_(TV_series)
I found this on Disney+ as I was trying to find something to watch, as I have much more free time to myself those days (even when I have a full day at unemployment, they are less than 10 minutes away from my home so I can go home for lunch and relax there). It was not great at the start, but I was willing to give it a chance. It did quite improve and all the struggles of low wage workers was something I related to quite a lot. There is bad storylines and a lot of not great jokes, but in general I had plenty fun and it was time to end by the 6th season. There is one character that look like Snow irl that I loved to have jokes with. It was nice. I gonna need to find something else to binge. 3.25 barks out of 5

- The red ranger become an adventurer in another world : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_R....._Another_World
As a super sentai and power rangers fan (you'll find a super sentai review later in this journal), the concept of a super sentai hero ending in a D&D like environment was super appealing (amusingly enough, I read a couple decades ago an article in a rpg magazine using the same concept). It was really silly and amusing. The fact the heroes are based on band-aids and relationships still work as a sentai, and there is a lot of great world-building and funny moments. I loved it. 4.5 barks out of 5

- Predator : killer of killers : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preda.....ler_of_Killers
Since the original two Predators movies, I have been following the franchise sparingly. I haven't seen prey, for what I read about it didn't interest me and the two AvP movies haven't delivered on what I hoped (but Aliens Earth is delivering so far on it) but this one seemed to be more what I expected. And it did. It is really nicely made, really interesting and give some good world building. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Reborn as a vending machine, I now wander the dungeon : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebor.....er_the_Dungeon
The concept of a guy being reincarnated as a vending machine and then ending in a D&D like universe was too silly for me to not try (hey, see up for another izekai ) but i thought it would have a hard time keeping the concept going for long. But we are an handful of episodes in season 2 (but this review is of S1) and it's still going strong. I really enjoyed the silliness (i want to see the bear as a caregiver and the 4 Tasmanian devils in diapers too) and the world building. It has a lot of original ideas and humour. 4.5 barks out of 5

- Belfort & Lupin : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfort_%26_Lupin
A lot of people have been asking me about this tv show when it was first announced, but I didn't really looked it up until recently. It is beautiful, really nicely animated, all characters are super cute and it's a really nice kid show and it has a little historic blurb at the end explaining how was the lives back then. As a wolf, I always would like an orphan wolf pup, but it is good by itself. The main problems I have with the series are the sometimes weak and that it shows the court of the french kings are really nice place, forgetting all the arbitrary suffering it created (for a french show, that is surprising). 3.25 barks out of 5

- Fantastic 4 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_F.....r:_First_Steps
After the awful previous movie and, while I enjoyed the campy duology that precedes it, nothing really good on cinema screens for Marvel's first family, this movie changes things. Skipping over the origin story, as they assume that people know enough that giving you the basis and their first steps into learning their powers will be enough, and for me it worked. That let us go onto a deeper story with more interesting challenges and in depths relationships. It was really nice and fun, I loved the alternate world based on the 60's but with more advanced technologies than ours. It is quite an interesting worldbuilding and serve the characters really well. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Go go loser rangers (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!_G....._Loser_Ranger!
I know I made a review of this season, but Disney messed up the season release so much, adding episodes at the end of season 1 at various moments, so I thought I watched them all and such... only to discover I was missing the last 3 episodes which is the finale. So the finale battle deliver on a really nice battle, with challenges and good actions. It close all the plots (to an extent) but as I said before, the second season feel rushed and damn, this shows here. Still a good show. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Transformers Earthspark (season 3) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans.....rs:_EarthSpark
Earthspark has been a mix bunch in general, with some episodes being quite good and others not so much. Targeting a younger generation and having much more human characters than usual while taking a totally different setting than the usual Decepticon / Autobot war, the general story works pretty well and there is some really original ideas that are really enjoyable. I have really enjoyable some of the new characters and some of their most wild ideas, while also adding some new stuff to transformers mythos. It doesn't have great toys, sadly, due to the younger audience, but still. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Austin powers (franchise) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Powers
So, I was spending a week-end at a friend's place and we watched Austin Powers 2 & 3, since I had never seen any of those movies before. Since they had watched the first movie before I arrived, I watched it once I got home. I never touched this franchise before because of all the memes going on, which made me think nothing in it would be of interest to me (especially this horrible this is shit austin one) but it proven different. While I find that many jokes aren't funny to me or last too long (the peeing statue for example) it is in general silly and fun. I enjoyed it overall and I can see why some people really love it. 3 barks out of 5 in general (sadly, too many overly long jokes).

- Love, death and robots (season 4) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_.....odes#Volume_4_(2025)
I was not expected a return of this show, since the last episodes date back 2022, so much i feared I missed a season in between, but no, it was a surprise come-back. And they did a great job there, since it's really good and really funny (the other large thing, the prequel to the robots episodes that are in each other season, is hilarious). As an anthology, not everything was to my taste (400 boys) while others are too short (smart appliances, stupid owners) but in general it is a really enjoyable moment. 4 barks out of 5

- Kung Fury: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fury

- Abarangers : https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wik.....ntai_Abaranger
Continuing travelling back in time, I have now reached 2003 super sentai, Abarangers, which gave us Dino Thunder which I love (RIP Tommy Oliver's actor). Age is again a problem, and will be more and more as I keep going back (I don't know how long I'll be able to keep going as the old style writing and special effects grate me too much). Again, the bad guy is linked to the destruction of the dinosaurs, here being part of the meteor who extinguished them (which means it was likely summoned by one of the later bad guys, either from the boukengers or the later dinosaur sentai's enemies), but from there is a really weird stuff. But it works, just weighed down by the old age. There is also a 20th anniversary story and it's really good to see that the stories of those characters keep going in a shared universe. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Superman (2025) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(2025_film)
I wasn't eager to watch this movie, for man of steel killed all of my interests in the DC movies (also, I'm a Marvel guy, outside of Batman, most DC comics and such aren't great stories to me), and of course, Batman vs superman was one of the worst movies I ever seen with really little to excuse all the BS going on there. Going back to an hopeful superman, which actually care about saving people was really good. There is also a lot of named characters there, but they are all in the story organically and it works out. It's a nice movie, not really anything I would really remember, but nice enough. 3.25 barks out of 5

- Kill lupercal : https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt37276143/
A sadly really short little mini-series, it shows the dark future of WH30K and how the titans works. It's really short but intense and really capture the past of WH40K. I can't really say much as it is really short and really linked to the universe, but good. 3.25 barks out of 5

So, here it is. I had my severance appointment, I'll be jobless on august 15 officially. I am supposed to get a couple months pay in mid-late september for july + severance pay + not taken vacation. After that, I should have a year of unemployment at nearly full pay... after that will be left at what laws applies then, since such things changes nearly every year. Seems they lost some of my papers, I hope I can find them again ...

People tells me I should be doing that, as nobody really read my written one. While I could edit some of my art into a vtuber, outside of reading my review, I don't see anything I could put in a post as I don't want to talk or move on camera, and I don't really much pictures of me wearing the diapers anyway... so it would be a still picture of the diaper while I read the text ? I don't have a fursuit to entertain while I review, nor have a place (nor the diapers) to make a long deep reviews, so I don't really know what I could put in a video...

Reusing the characters from the Potty Monsters diapers in which they are now allied with soldiers to face the Soggers aliens that seem to want you to leak... it’s not that clear from the printings and package. I really like the science fiction look of the bottom of those diapers but otherwise the design, like the Potty Monsters, is pretty bland. They seem to have quite the absorption and are pretty comfortable.

LNGU Dragoonz
https://www.diaper-minister.com/fr/.....-dragoonz.html
Those diapers are really cute, I picked them up because they were sissyish and I felt letting this show at the time. They have 4 really cute printings on the theme of dragons and video games, and as someone who is a geek and called a princess, dragons keeping me in diapers for sure appeal to me. I have grown to like that non-plastic front and I was really comfortable in those. Like all LNGU diapers they have the same advantages of being re-tapable easily and really nice form fitting.

Potty Training Dropouts Beddy Byes
https://ptdropouts.com/products/beddybyes
A new company that I just discovered when my friend put me in one of those diapers for my trip back home from his place. It was really comfortable for the 5 hours drive, and it was able to take all of my leaks without any problem. As such, I don’t really know fully how easy they are to get here in France but it seems to be a bit limited. In general it was a really great diaper and I wish I would have been able to try them more than I did.

Those are super cute and comfortable; they really have this babyish look of the diapers I wore as a kid in the 80’s. Here goes the nostalgia kick. They seem to be really super absorbent and in general really well made. But getting those in France and price in general isn’t friendly at all for what you get.

Those scented diapers are looking just so adorable, really perfect for a sissy. They are really good quality overall and the design is really great. But the price for a pack of 8 (yes, 8, when a pack of crinklz is about the same price for 15 !) is just so high, I can't really advise those diapers for general use, just for special occasion.

The diapers, has diapers go, are quite good but for the cuteness they aren’t. The printings are really small and dark, so you don’t really see them (as you can see in pictures) when you wear them. Outside of the package, I don’t really see the link between those 4 monsters (it seems a family, each have its own printing) and the potty outside of them wearing diapers. The best printing is on the bottom, because it is large enough you can see it fully and it look nice.

I have been eager to try those diapers. They looked really cute. And I haven’t been disappointed. They are really comfortable, with a great printing and shape. I have worn them for many hours without any problem, keeping me protected and comfortable whatever happened. They have such nice printings going all the way over to make them more babyish looking. They are sadly a bit hard to find in some areas (like France) and rather expensive.

Another super adorable, super comfortable great heavy duty ABDL diaper, but with one main problem for people like me : it is not available outside of USA and Canada.

The multiple printings reinforce this feeling for me and they have really great packaging to go with reinforcing the babyish feelings.

While cleaning Fiona’s place, I found this old diaper (they aren’t sold anymore as far as I could find) from back in the days (when ABDL diapers were really rare and expensive) and that I wore for a long time alongside many Tena diapers. They are absorbent and basically what a good medical diapers should be (good medical diapers are uncommon, because administrations aims for cheap diapers, a plague for people stuck in them in such places).

I don't know why, but since I lost my job I have been having more nightmares... I was already having some regularly those last few months as Snow and I have been planning for NFC. One of the most vivid one was Snow and I deciding to change our species to otter for some reason, and going to be an otter themed party at the convention... only for only Snow allowed in because he was the only one of us two with a fursuit. Showing how I feel I'll not be able to fit in. There were others in which people offer to babysit the plush and he goes with them, leaving me alone ; or he decides to stay with me and regret it as no-one want to come near me at all.

I don't remember much of the others nightmares, but I wake up in the middle of the night with a feeling of inequation and that I'm not good enough to find a new job and build things again. I accepted my previous job and suffered for nearly 8 years in it because, as an handicap worker with a mental illness, I was struggling to find a job and it was the only serious offer I had. I knew it would be crappy (the employer lied to me during the hiring interview all along)... I knew my place would close sooner or later but I hoped I could make it last until NFC and have less money worries about the convention.

Friends have been supporting, especially Snow, but I'm feeling I'm just abusing of their patience and that I don't give anything back to them. I'm not feeling suicidal any more, thanks to my medicine, but I feel the little voice at times telling me people would be happier if I wasn't around any more.

- Asterix the big fight : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aster....._The_Big_Fight
Based on the French graphic novel series that I grew up on, this French animation tv show works many stories into one (but centred on the album that it shares the name of) and has good quality. The modern humour doesn't always work in the general style of Asterix, but in general it is still silly and mostly funny. I was really surprised about how they would make an entire series of one album, but as I said before, they added some others albums' storylines there too. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Dr who (Disney season 2): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_series_15
I have been really enjoying this 15th Doctor, being so different yet reminding me of many of my favourite doctors. The stories have been a bit all over the place, there is no bad episodes but the quality is not always there to make them great episodes. The acting is never bad, it's all about the stories. The whole magic is introduced works at time and doesn't as others. I really wanted more of out of that doctor, it's a shame he leaves so soon. The season also feels a bit rushed at times, like they wanted to say more but couldn't, as some plot points are really glossed over. Still, i give it a 4.25 barks out of 5

- Thunderbolts * : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolts*
I expected a pretty by-the-numbers movie but still really enjoyable, and some part of it really feel like it, like the underusing of Ghost or the really short time with Taskmaster. Some really important stuff like Bucky being a senator are really skipped over but then you have really good character development scenes, deep interactions, heavy storylines and a general good humour until the movie need to be deep and dark, in which it usually deliver. The story in itself is pretty predictable, especially when you remember most of the characters present here, but it still work pretty well. I don't know about the twist at the end, need to see how they'll build on it. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Watson : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_(TV_series)
So, made Sherlock Holmes a medical show and make it about Watson after the famous detective felt in the falls in Switzerland was a really original idea. So we get House, MD but with Watson in the role of House and he is a way nicer guy but it's the same kind of out of the hospital investigation to solve medical problems with a bit of conspiracy. It's a bit unbelievable at times (no, not all illnesses have a genetical solution) but I like the characters and the investigation. 3 barks out of 5

- Go Go looser ranger (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!_G....._Loser_Ranger!
Disney tricked me by putting season 2 as the second half of season 1 on their websites, but I looked it up and found it. A really good follow-up to the first season, taking right away on the storylines and giving us a lot of world building. The world is way more than we thought it was and there is way more intrigues that one could imagine. I was enthralled and I really enjoyed everything that was happening, with really great fights and interesting bad guys (and there is a lot of bad guys in this show and really little good guys... even those who seems to be the good guys are really bad). I'm told the third season is the last, which is a bit sad, there was a lot to explore with this world. 4 barks out of 5

- Superkitties (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperKitties
Sporting new powers and costume out of nowhere, the second season explore a bit more in depths stories and develop on the relationship. It's toddler stuff but toddler stuff I am here for. I quite enjoyed all the silly scenes and attitude even if a lot of the plots are just toddler logic. 3.25 barks out of 5

- Sherlock & daughter : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherl.....k_%26_Daughter
I was surprised to not found one, but two, Sherlock Holmes based tv shows. I know the character is public domain, but two shows released at the same time ? Anyway, this one is totally different since instead of the modern era, it's the original era, set after the main era of the books and involving a daughter and bad guys coming from the usa (it was impossible to not have any American connection since it's an American tv show). The actors are good, the investigations done really nice, the overarching plot is a bit too convoluted but in general it delivers pretty well on the adventures of an older Holmes and his young daughter that he just discovered. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Blood of Zeus (season 3) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_of_Zeus
Delivering on the huge epic that was set up with season 2, we got a huge battle going with dangerous world threatening quests. The really good writing is still here and the good animation delivers on the challenges. Still a bit upset on the free gore at times or the weird design choices (typhon looks like a mix of a dragon and a demon, not really much Greek aesthetics) and it is really sad in general, but that gives much more weight to the challenges and the epic. 3.5 barks out of 5

- 7 deadly sins : 4 knights of the apocalypse (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_.....the_Apocalypse
Another season taking over from a continuing arc from a previous one, we get to learn more about the characters, the world and the general intrigue. The characters are sadly not that interesting in general, and the overall plot is going even more bonkers than the previous series with the reveal for the main character's origins (yes, that the third reveal of his backstory). This is a bit annoying at times but still some pretty good moments. 3.25 barks out of 5

- Dekarangers : https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wik.....tai_Dekaranger
Going to the counterpart of my third favourite power rangers series, Dekarangers is really big as we see them in a lot of crossovers. The main character is really annoying and really improve only at the end of the series but I love the investigations (they are more a cop series than SPD) and the characters' interactions (their Doggie Kruger is also a really cool character and his design works for me too). The main bad guy is a bit of a disappointment, he is a really dangerous and all that (i mean, all the bad guys have genocidal level of victims in this show) but he is so little involved in the plot that it is hard to really feel involved when he finally come for the finale. The movies and specials after the end of the series are much more interesting, and i'm sad that they didn't go further with the crossovers with Metal Heroes. 4.25 barks ouf ot 5

- Ironheart : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironheart_(miniseries)
As expected for a series that has LGTBQ+ and a woman of colors, this was review bombed and a lot of those negative reviews are still weighing down the critics if you look online. But this short mini-series is pretty cool and build up from the introduction of the character from Black Panther 2. The character development and the whole thing about PTSD and the challenges with the villain were really interesting. I loved how it expanded at street level the MCU like the old Defenders show did and there is a lot of cool scenes with a lot of emotional moments. A lot of twists are really surprising and hint to something much bigger to come. I wish for more episodes to explore more the characters. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Gundam : witch from Mercury : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobil.....h_from_Mercury
So, another rehash of the colonies VS Earth fight, which is a bit repetitive with so many gundam iterations, but this one does take a bit more original take. The question of military technology used to help disabled people is a current questions, with a lot of exo-suit technologies being applied to disabled, and a good one to ask and explore. There is always the really great fight scenes that you can find in any gundam series, and there is plenty of it. The high school drama is a bit slow but in general it is a really good show. 3.25 barks out of 5

- Nicky larson et le parfum de cupidon : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky.....fum_de_Cupidon
This french movie is based on the City Hunter anime's french translation, Nicky Larson, which I watched as a kid. And yes, the french translation, since the characters make references to others famous series from the same show, have the host of the saturday morning cartoons of said show make a cameo, use all the tropes and references from the silly censored cartoon (the Mokkori, the sex part of the anime, are all removed from the french translation but a character is named from it). I watched it with a friend which is also from that era and it was so cool to get all the references. I was expecting something pretty crappy but it was actually pretty ok, having humor, an investigation and a lot of silliness. I don't think people who didn't watched the show back in the 80's can really get the movie, but it's ok. 3 barks out of 5

- Minecraft the movie : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Minecraft_Movie
I watched this with Fiona, which was helpful because there is a lot I wouldn't have gotten without a bit of explanation. It is otherwise super predictable and by-the-numbers. It is ok. Just ok. There is nothing I'll remember in a couple of days, but it was an ok movie to entertain an afternoon. 2.5 barks out of 5

I learned this morning that I have no job any more. My employer revealed that we had been in foreclosure for 6 months but he kept lying about it and harassing us, also we kept coming to work we nothing to do which was really depressing. We are relieved from all the psychological damage we were taking

Today I took my 13 years old dog, Rex, to get euthanised and, while yesterday he was still OK, he was unable to breath today. It was no surprise has he had leukaemia and it was better to stop his suffering.

In short, Employer tried to reduce our pay for taking vacation days. Result : not taking this vacation day if he doesn't change his mind, so he will have to pay us our normal (and earned salary). He is trying to scam us because he is running out of money and want to force us to quit.

- Daredevil born again : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dared.....il:_Born_Again
A big surprise, as the Netflix Defenders universe, while canon, was not really touched much by the MCU outside of some references and cameos, this series is a direct follow-up. With a big budget and people who seem to really care about the universe and what was told in the Defenders shows (2nd season already said they were bringing back Jessica Jones), we get a really well written and well choreographed series. I really enjoyed the series, which really delivered on the character with really interesting stories. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Kamen rider Zero-one : https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/.....Rider_Zero-One
Another Kamen Rider series I was looking forward to, because the setting of a world in which cyborgs are living among humans is always a cyberpunk-related interesting setup. The main character is a bit annoying at start as a comedian, but he grew up and get more interesting at times passes. His secondary and tertiary riders are a bit underused in general (poor Valkyrie) and the bad guys are a bit weak, but the social commentary is on point, with real good discussions about AI and non-human intelligence. I had a lot of fun in general with this series. 4 barks out of 5

- Ghosts : fantômes en héritage : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost....._h%C3%A9ritage
A french adaptation of the series Ghosts, the quality is really not there. The first half of the series deliver on the premises but the second half see the second half of the comedic duo Eric et Ramzy join the first half (which the male lead) and they start doing their own thing aside from the ghost thing... and that ruin it. 2 barks out of 5

- NCIS: Sydney (Season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCIS:.....dney#Season_2_(2025)
I have watched everything NCIS related (but the non-crossover JAG episodes) and I was looking forward to the one that is actually out of the USA. The Australian aspect is always interesting, especially as a friend of Bluey, and it deliver on good stories and good acting, with taking advantage of the Australian background. The characters are ok (but not as good as some from the original show and the other spin-offs) and really quirky (a bit too much at time), so I am always eager to watch the episode and the seasons are short so it doesn't go too annoying. 3.5 barks out of 5

- Bluey's big play : https://www.bluey.tv/blueys-big-play/
I have never really watched any stage show, as the puppets are usually really creepy to me. I watched some of the Paw Patrol ones because they were on some of the episodes I watched and they were really creepy. But here the puppets are done much much better and in general, it is a normal episode with just a different medium. It was pretty cool and amusing as always with Bluey. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Young Jedi adventures (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_.....odes#Season_2_(2024%E2%80%9325)
They seem to have listened a bit to my complaints about the lack of character development, story progression and totally lack of actual threat as they have actually did all of this. It is still not really good, even for little kids, but at least there is some world building for the star wars fan that I am (and which is the only reason I watch this). 2,25 barks out of 5

- Andor (season 2) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andor_(TV_series)#Season_2_(2025)
The first season has been a banger, setting up the birth of the rebellion from the point of view of a random guy and we continues on this trajectory. The parallels between the three different stories that combine at the end for the finale was really good, it is written so well. There is so much world building while the characters are way more human and realistic than in most series. Also, it is so full of references, expanding the Disney Star Wars with lots of good ideas from the Legends Star Wars and works on creating a better and more coherent universe. It is so nice to have such side stories but that build up on the big movies. It only made me enjoy more Rogue One which only made me love more Episode 4 (which is my favourite movie). 4.75 barks out of 5

- Wolf King : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_King
A surprise find on Netflix, I had never heard of the book series this is based on (and I do know a lot of wolf-related content) and I was really interested in this tv show. The art style is sometime really good for the story it is covering, and sometimes sound like really creepy and maybe a bit uncanny valley. The story and characters are really predictable but the world is interesting and there is a lot to the were-creatures that I am interested. It's a really classical heroic fantasy for me, but still worth it. 3,25 barks out of 5

- Jurassic world : chaos theory (season 3) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juras.....eory#Season_3_(2025)
Continuing to deliver on the premises that the last movies should have done, Chaos Theory follows the Nubar 6 in a world in which the dinosaurs have spread among modern society. While sometimes the characters are a bit grating with the way they keep going back and forth about some stuff. The world need a bit of disbelief to be suspended at times, but it works. A character from the movies is brought here, but they keep teasing you about the male lead being there but he never shows up. I did like they are bringing feathered dinosaurs in. 4 barks out of 5

- NCIS season 22 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCIS_season_22
Continuing to work with a new team without Gibbs, this season is way more on personal stories and they are somewhat up and down. They have some good stuff but sometimes it is a bit too far fetched. It is quite enjoyable (go Macgee, love you) in general and there is some interesting stories that do leave you hooked. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Magiranger : https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wik.....tai_Magiranger
Power Rangers Mystic force being my second favourite Power Rangers series after RPM, I was looking forward to see what the original material looked like. Sadly, it was not as cool as Mystic Force. Until then, Super Sentai has been better (or at worse, equal) if not in such a totally different range it couldn't be compared (Overdrive wasn't as good as Boukenger, RPM is too different from Go-onger they can't be compared, Gekiranger and Jungle Fury are pretty equivalent) but here, I found Mystic Force better. The story is better written, the world building is more coherent (so much of Magitopia makes no sense and is hard to fit in the general world) and sometimes the Japanese stuff doesn't work with the western style magician. It was still a pretty cool show, and I still love Wolfzard fire (I mean, a magic based wolf power rangers? What not to love?!). But magic and phones has a theme ? What's up with that ? And it's phones, the ending song says so and they aren't disguised wands like in Mystic force... 3.75 barks out of 5

- Star wars Tales of the underworld : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_Jedi_(TV_series)#Tales_of_the_Underworld_(2025)
After the Jedi and the Sith, we get the third major faction of the universe in the form of the gangsters and others criminals. It's again split into three episodes about the Light side and three about the Dark Side. Here we have Ventress and Cade Bane and they give us a really different view about the life of those who lives on neither side of the conflicts. Despite being short (each episode is 15 minutes), it works really well to tell their compelling stories. There is a lot of worldbuilding there and you want to know more, to see where this go. 3.5 barks out of 5

- Flow : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(2024_film)
A really touching and visually beautiful movie. It was so wonderful to watch, without any sound outside of the animal sounds, with lots of such great storytelling on the visual aspect. It does get a bit confusing at times, which is kinda to be expected with a visual storytelling only movie. Quite some make more sense once you known it is an allegory of the flood from antique stories. It is such a great movie, really worth watching. 4.25 barks out of 5

- Superman and Lois (season 4) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super....._Lois_season_4
I have been struggling with this series since they got past season 2, as the stories started to get really convoluted and mental, with far fetched ideas and loosing a lot of the fun and charm that made me interested in it originally. There is still some great emotional moments and the epilogue is really cool, but it is still really long and boring. 2.5 barks out of 5

- I saw the TV glow : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Saw_the_TV_Glow
I can really see the transgender references everywhere in this movie, and also the Buffy but also the horror vibes. I don't watch much horrors, for I tend to have plenty of nightmares about some scenes for horror centric stories (but to me Alien or the house in the hill, the one with deconstruct all horror tropes and end with a Cthulhu entity destroying the world at the end, aren't horror movies) and the storytelling at times was super confusing. But I quite liked the general confusing vibes and a bit of the alternate realities concept. 3 barks out of 5

- Gogo sentai Boukenger : https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wik.....ntai_Boukenger
The counterpart to one of the weakest power rangers season, Boukenger is much more interesting, with much deeper characters and stories. The treasure hunters stories are pretty similar, but there is more to the characters and their story arcs (especially for all but Pink and Blue, which are a bit behind, especially since BoukenBlue is identical to BoonBlue and the second one did it much better, thanks likely to more money and experience). The bad guys are in general interesting, and the final battle take over the last 4 to 5 episodes depending on how you see it. Despite being an anniversary season, they don't really do anything about this (only one movie connect it, I don't count the skits at the end since they are OOC). I would have linked all the precious to previous seasons myself, an easy and cheap connection that didn't required people to know about said seasons. 3.75 barks out of 5

- High Potential : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Potential
I was not convinced at first by this show, didn't wanted to give it a shot. It is based on a french show that I got bad reviews on but Fiona told me it was nice and we watched all the episodes available at the time when I was in Scotland. I really like the interesting characters interactions and the intrigues, even if the actors are a bit weak at time and the reveals a bit forced. It a nice procedural show and a different thing that the usual NCIS ones I watch. 3.25 barks out of 5

- Wicked : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_(2024_film)
Ok... I didn't liked the general idea of Wicked, of a guy changing all what the book series is about just to fit his own agenda wasn't seating well with me. I watched videos explaining the world of Oz and how the author of Wicked had to bend backwards to fit his rhetoric and removing the fact women ruled in the original author's work to put men in control in their place to support his story... This destruction of the original stuff really weighed on me and I ended not liking the movie. It has really good actors and visual, and really great song (and this puppy love musicals, still sing often to Disney renaissance songs when alone) but that can't cover all the weaknesses of the movie and how it betrays the original wizard of Oz. Now, using an original world would have redeemed much of it. 2.25 barks out of 5

- Secret level : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Level
I didn't knew it was an anthology series are first, just that the first one was about D&D and thought it was a story about D&D party finding a secret level in a dungeon. But it was interesting enough that I wanted to watch it, and after the first episode I was sold. As an anthology series, quality and interests are really variable, since the story style, background and references changes with episodes. Some are really surprising (the Pac Man one is really far from what I could imagine), those super interesting with their concept (like once and future king) while some are exactly what you expect and really good (D&D). It's a really must watch for nerds, I was interested in even those about games I have never heard of. 4.5 barks out of 5

- Pokemon concierge : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C.....9mon_Concierge
I haven't watch anything pokemon since the original tv show (and didn't really play any games after it), so I wasn't really interested in this show but Fiona said it was cool. The art style is really great and lovely, making all really look like those characters are real thing being animated with stop motion. The stories are really cute and use pokemon lore very well. It's simple, chill and enjoyable. 4 barks out of 5

- Dog Man : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_Man_(film)
Fiona wanted me to watch this movie and I'm still confused about it. The humour at times seems to be targeted to preschoolers, but sometimes go really dark or really adult, so I was really confused about what it was aiming for or where the story was going. But in the end, it is a cute and really silly story, with touching moment and really comforting characters arcs. I can't really say much more about this really weird movie, you should check it out to really know. 3.75 barks out of 5

- Sonic 3 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic.....he_Hedgehog_3_(film)
Since I didn't play any Sonic (outside of Sonic Mania) after the megadrive era, I know nothing of Shadow outside of that he is a boring edge lord with nothing to him that compensate by having guns from what the memes says. So I wasn't really sold on the character. Learning he was played by Keanu Reeves, I knew he was going to be made to act and talk like another character played by the same actor, John Wick. All of this was true to an extent, but the movie made sure to give him more depth, a great character arc, to play with the others characters. The movie is the worst of the three movies in general, but it is far from being bad. I really enjoyed it in general and learning about Shadow. Visually it is beautiful and the humour is there. 3 barks out of 5

- Helluva Boss : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helluva_Boss
I was totally against watching that show, because it looked to be insulting to Hazbin hotel. The first two episodes confirmed that point of view, and that its existence pushed the original show from getting a second season. But I was told it become better after the second episode, and I must agree. I started to care about the characters, their backstory and struggles. I still find the storytelling and visuals a bit all over the place and the free violence and gore doesn't always really bring anything but the humour, silliness and the character stories I really enjoy in Hazbin was there. 3 barks out of 5

- Captain America : brave new world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capta.....rave_New_World
From the trailer and all the controversies, I expected this movie to be pretty bad. The fact the secret of the red Hulk was already out pretty much out for everyone (I knew it from the comic) and that there was really little surprise in general. It was an ok movie. It works well in general, there is just... nothing really big happening. It aims to be consensual, to not offence anyone (especially about the fact the new Captain America is black) and resume quickly what happened in the Falcon and Winter Soldier tv show. A sequel to the original Hulk movie (which was much needed) but doesn't have the Hulk in it (so much fail with Ross and Bettie there), it's... ok. Nothing more. 2.75 barks out of 5

- The dragon prince season 7 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_.....#Book_7:_Dark_(2024)
Continuing on their great storytelling, character development and world building we finally get to the end of the story with the 7th season. There were a lot of surprises, really great character moments and well played dilemmas. The bad guy start to get a bit boring with his plans at the end but it is a minor problem in general. I was really invested in the characters and the stories and they get a proper ending with all this. It was quite a ride but I'm happy it ended, for it was good all the way. 4.25 barks out of 5

I got home safely (but not dry). Assistance at Amsterdam helped a lot to get through the stupid airport. Problem was luggage got lost in paris for 30 minutes but still got an earlier train. Took laptop to warranty, since it stopped working on my last day, told me the battery got a bit of a overcharge and it took 2 days for it to reboot, something that do happens with electronic stuff you don't use regularly.

It was a long trip to get there. Registering for Assistance was really helpful at many steps to help with the stress (the diaper did too). Amsterdam's airport was as bad as I remembered, but having assistance got me through. A change and a cuddle waited for me when I arrived at Fiona's.

I'm leaving for the train tomorrow at 6 am to get to Paris and then subway to the airport, from there it's Amsterdam then finally Aberdeen after 11 or so hours. If everything works out. I am super stressed about it, as always. We'll see how it goes. I'll not really have internet once I leave France until I get to Fiona's place, and after that my availability will depend what we do.
