Marina blatantly says in one scene "I think it's because you like me" or something to that effect, it's not that she's open with her feelings, but that she's aware that Jimmy has feeling for her, in the following few seconds, Jimmy fails to convince anyone that he doesn't.
Vincent made me facepalm. Marina and Jimmy are having a moment after the day has been saved and Marina survives a massive drop just by landing on Vincent (both are miraculously unhurt) Jimmy and Marina say some things, they close-ups of eyes probably and Vincent's all like, "Yeah, so I just saved your life, no no, don't get up, I'll leave you two alone." then he's crushed so thoroughly that he changes his name to Jackson to forget the pain of lost love.
Yeah, I don't know why Brendan and Lucas got completely shafted in terms of screen time. They seriously couldn't have an episode where the gang help Brendan do some research for his dad? I can understand that they have Ash as the main male protagonist, but Brendan and Lucas are so different that they won't cramp his style, might make a few Ash/May and Ash/Dawn shippers mad though ;D
I'd probably accept it if they said that he was thirteen years old, that's about as far as my disbelief will suspend. I know for a fact that not every thirteen year old is thinking about girls, perhaps they come to an agreement that girls aren't actually icky.
I'm not sure about the origins of the picture, someone linked to it on some random board that I was linked to by a picture on google image search. I thought, this could come in handy for my journey fic. The art is really good and the designs make sense, they are all girls though, so maybe it is the same one you're thinking of.
One question, is it weird that I want to start writing the sequel to my unreleased journey fic when I'm only fifteen chapters and three badges into the first one?
