10 Anti LO Asks

1. if there was ever a short, chubby man in LO it would just be someone to creepy after Persephone and be the butt of the joke about how he's not "hot" compared to Manly™️ Hads. Rachel has the weirdest hard-on to mock anyone who isn't a conventionally attractive, straight rich person and it shows itself way too often.

2. are .. are LO characters supposed to look attractive? is that RS' intent? 😵‍💫 say sike right now because none of them look good

3. I would just be so pissed if I was an Original creator seeing what this WT does. These creators are busting their asses week in and out to make a weekly comic with a tight story and great art with little to no help (some even broke their hands and RELEARNED HOW TO DRAW WITH THEIR OTHER HAND to keep going) but WT continues to ignore them while giving Rachel as much help and promotion as she could ever want or need and she gets to rake in the money for what little she does. How is that ok?

4. I’m just gonna put it out there, but the fact that Eros was confirmed bi/pan in an earlier episode only for him to later be exclusively shown attraction to women is so gross. Especially when he’s the only mspec character which was revealed along with him being very promiscuous. It’s very “pick a side” and “all mspec people are very sexual. As a bi person it’s just way too gross.

From OP: Hera also seems to be mspec as there’s a thing (??) between her and Echo. It’s not 100% confirmed but, let’s face it, RS would face a lot of backlash if she goes back on Hera x Echo after that girlfriend comment Ares made.

That being said, I hate how she’s also mspec and (potentially) cheating, which is something a lot of mspec people get accused of just for liking more than one gender.

5. i feel like there's a big difference between stylization versus whatever rachel is doing. we know she can draw but the style she's chosen for LO is only getting worse even as rachel tries to "improve" it with lineart and attempts of anatomy (despite her being nearly 40? why is she only NOW trying to learn it??)

6. I mean yeah the art in LO isn't the worst thing ever, but the fact it markets itself off being the most unique, beautiful art on the whole app is just like ... really? Based off what? Often the bright colors and "painter" style, especially in the last few years, is a hindrance instead of a strength. I can browse the Canvas Top 30 and see miles ahead better art with only one person doing it, not a team of five or more people.

7. did ... did rachel just slap harpy aesthetics onto eris and call it a day? can she even try to keep any of these creatures straight. even daphne and the other nymphs loses their pointy ears half the time and that's their only defining feature.

8. wait, so RS did a comic for DC and WT wasn't screaming about, even though they have a DC partnership??? Even RS wasn't?? Surely that's far more legitimate than anything else? I'll agree we can see with actual time and effort put into it she can actually draw, but are just going to ignore her depiction of WW and Superman are still the same exact buxom female and just Hades with dark hair now? Also PS, the Circe/hamster thing is directly ripped off from Percy Jackson, so that's not very original.

9. RS would make Wonder Woman be a tiny teenager huh. She's allergic to tall women with muscles. At least we should be glad she's not a repeat of Athena or making them highlighter yellow and blue.

10. RS making Helios be pro-global warming is damn near evil. He's one of the most loving gods ever?? He was one of the few Titans who was worshipped well beyond antiquity because of his love for humans?? I get DC's versions are also different from mythology but even they tend to be framed as good guys, wtf?? She literally can't write them correctly even with it's someone else's version. Talk about a negative team player.

absolute disaster of a boss fight last night <3

the party faced off against Rex the bard's sibling, Ash, who he hadn't seen in 25 years. in the intervening time, they'd been radicalized by a false god, and were leading the local chapter of paladins (the Solaric Order) determined to Light Yagami all crime out of existence (by killing anyone who commits a crime)

start blasting Ten Piedad from the Blasphemous soundtrack

Ash goes right for Rex, putting him on single digits HP with a single turn, and the rest of the weaker paladins rush the party

KAID, the hexblade warlock, dishes out 50 damage a round for a few turns before getting dropped by some of the mooks. it's a running joke that he goes down at least once a fight, and it's holding true here.

they kill off most of the minor enemies with Shatter, Spirit Guardians, and the dragonborn Fighter's cold breath.

Ash is desperate, bleeding, and cornered. So they call down a blast of heavenly light which closes all of their wounds and fixes the gashes in their armor. Begin stage 2.

sike, Rex casts Charm Person

the last few minor enemies are cleaned up by Kirsi, the fighter, and the warlock *instantly* starts a short rest, hoping to finish it before the Charm Person wears off (textbook warlock behavior)

Ash is now real friendly, happily gives away plenty of information about the Solaric Order, and gets into a theological argument with both Rex and Kura the cleric.

Ash says they should probably dispose of all of these bodies, and begins loading them into a wheelbarrow to take them to the city graveyard

the members of the party who aren't taking a short rest follow. leaving the warlock. whose player is something of a powergamer, and who is the party's main DPS character. Mistake.

about halfway to the graveyard, they realize that the spell will wear off at some point, and it might be better to start the fight now, so that they have the element of surprise.

so everyone preps their spells (Kura casts Spirit Guardians and activates Twilight Sanctuary for temp HP) and then Kirsi walks up to Ash and shish kebabs them. Begin stage 2 for real this time, but it's a 3v1 instead of a 4v1

and Ash, in a frenzy, is using smites now.

Crits the Cleric. 47 damage. He's at 1 HP. DC 23 Constitution save to maintain concentration of Spirit Guardians. Literally impossible. They flicker out.

Cleric casts Cure Wounds at 3rd level, going to an effective HP of somewhere around 30.

Fighter puts attack after attack into Ash, rolling better than she has in the entire rest of the campaign so far. Rex is out of spells so he's spamming Vicious Mockery.

Ash smites Kura again. Does exactly enough to down him.

Kirsi force-feeds him a healing potion before stabbing Ash another two times.

Kura disengages. He doesn't bother healing himself, just recasts Spiritual Weapon. 1d4+5 points of healing won't make much difference against an enemy outputting 30+ a turn.

Ash is on their last legs, at 2 hit points. Rex casts Vicious Mockery. They fail the save. Rex just says "I'm sorry," and catches them as they slump to the ground.

They're buried in an unmarked grave in the city graveyard.

End of session.

#it was SO fun #i was so ready to kill player characters last night but they managed to pull through

Wild N Out - Karlous Miller

Karlous Miller x Black Reader

warnings: none, fluff

{You are the new Wild N Out girl. Fun ensues.}

Wild N Out was never your first option , hell, it wasn’t even really your last option. So, becoming the new Wild N Out Girl never even crossed your mind.

You had met Karlous at an event on a business trip in L.A. where you two had hit off and began dating ever since. You were in school to become a dentist and did modeling in your spare time, but both were becoming something you despised.

After your boyfriend convinced you that you were the funniest person he knew and your manager agreeing with him. You finally caved and went through the casting call process. Fast forward and you were chosen to be a part of Wild N Out: New School vs Old School.

The day had finally come for the first taping and rumours were that Mo’Nique and other well known fans of the show were in attendance tonight.

Karlous massaged your sides backstage and gave you a run-down of how the show would typically flow and run.

“Bae, Keke Palmer said she liked my shoes earlier and asked me where I got em from. Bae she called me a pretty girl and everything, like, I’m really doing this.” you say talking a mile a minute

“I call you that everyday now I’mma have to come up with somethin’ else. Keke just gon’ steal my girl right in front of me.” he jokes. “You gon’ be alright . It’s like a family here so everything gon’ go smooth. You up here worrying for nothing with your fine ass.” Karlous says holding your hands and kissing them gently.

“Okay, you right. I got this and don’t think just cause you my man i’mma go easy on you! You not on my team, Old School.” you say to him teasingly and the stagehand lets you both know that it’s time to go on.

“Alright but don’t be talkin bout “you sleepin’ yo ass right on that couch” when I return that heat!” he calls after you and you just shake your head laughing as you walk out onto the set and wave at the fans. You see a few familiar faces like Tim and Justine and Chico/DC of course. But, there's also a few new faces that you didn’t recognize. Probably people who couldn’t make it to the welcome dinner so you make sure you go by greeting everyone and accepting hugs from some of them.

“Welcome to Wild N Out: New School vs Old School Edition. If you’ve been watching the show you already know what the hell is about to go down. Dj D-Wrek is going to give us some answers and we’re going to come up with some funny questions, and then rush up to this buzzer. Team with the funniest answers wins the game. I am your new host Keke Palmer and this is Hood Jeopardy.” she announces and the crowd cheers before the round starts. You blow a kiss at Karlous and his goofy self catches it and places it in his pocket dramatically.

Your eyes scan the crowd and you definitely seen some well known faces in the crowd. You even flanced over at Dulce Sloan on the upper deck.

You give a small smile to the crowd and then keep your focus on Karlous knowing that he’d either nod his head at you or do something to distract you from your nerves.

“Things Karlous Miller is built like.” DJ D-Wrek calls out

You let out a loud laugh before your team starts ooh-ing and ahh-ing like schoolyard children as you run over to the buzzer at the same time as DC.

“Aww hell naw , bae you just gon do me like that?” Karlous shouts while throwing his hands up in the air and you can hear the crowd giggling already.

“Move DC. That’s my man. You BETTA MO-” you squabble with DC and play fight over the buzzer before knocking him on the floor with your hip and he makes a show of it flying and sliding across the floor yelling “damn she-hulk damn”.

You smile softly to yourself as the bell goes off and a point goes to your team, letting the small victory ease your nerves.

“What is zaddy built like. Well, that’s easy, what is “a beautiful chocolate man” ”. you say in the White Chicks voice before Karlous adds “that’s right baby, that’s right.”

“Sike, what is Crash Bandicoot. What is Perry The Platypus from Phineas and Ferb. What is-” you blurt out as you hear the crowd and both teams in hysterics laughing and falling over each other as Karlous stands there with his lips pushed out.

The bell goes off repeatedly signaling that your team had won that round as DJ D-Wrek stands there wiping tears from his eyes and Chico comes over to join you.

“What is a small Booker T.” Chico wheezes into the microphone as you two hold onto each other’s shaking shoulders.

“Hold on I’m not done. Who is Thurgoode from the PJs. What is-” Karlous cuts you off by running over and saying “Yo baby daddy” into the mic and your team yells oop.

“Don’t be salty baby. It’s not my fault you built like a Fun Dip stick and a thermometer had a baby. You still luh me though?” you ask and he follows up with hell yeah.

The crowd eats up your dynamic as they watch the both of you interact.

“Alright, Alright , Alright. That round goes to New School. They coming with that heat for the o.g.”

You take a quick commercial break before starting the next segment “Now You Wild Out”.

“Everybody already knows how this goes. We get a topic from D-Wrek and we go in. Team with the best improvs wins the round. Let’s get it!” Keke says before going stepping back onto team New School.

Each person from the team goes with almost everyone being evenly matched with points until it’s finally you and Karlous up next with the category Date Night.

“I got this. I got this.” you tell your team as you strut to the front of the line and Karlous runs over to steal a kiss real quick while the crowd aww’s .

“Aww nothing. Get your milk dud headass over here Lous.” DC says pulling him by the back of his shirt.

“Lemme get a quick wax. Lemme get a quick wax. Now you wild out.” you say and you hear a mhm before a roar of laughs from the women in the crowd.

“Gotta wash the balls off. Gotta wash the balls off. Now you wild out.” Karlous returns with quick fire while his team copies him and dances with one leg up.

You dance to the music before patting your pockets and all over you “Where’s the plan B? Where’s the plan B? Where’s the plan B? NOW YOU WILD OUT.” you say and Karlous stands there with his hands on his hips with his mouth slightly open as the crowd and your teams laugh along.

He was standing there shook at the fact that your lil quiet shy self was standing there talking about it.

He quickly snaps into the character and starts yikin side to side yelling “I sholl did. I sholl did. I sholl did. Now you wild out.”

The audience erupts into laughter at the chemistry and comedy between the two of you.

You push him playfully and return to the back of the line as the bell signals that his team had won that round.

The rest of the episode goes smoothly and your team comes close to winning but Old School ultimately won overall. Karlous finds you waiting for him in the parking lot and in a conversation with some people from your team.

You grab his hands softly as he hugs you from behind. “Damn Justine, I've been thinking bout you too.” you joke and turn around to kiss him deeply for a moment.

“Girl you were on fire. I’ll see later. “ Gabby, one of the new girls on your team says before leaving you two alone.

“I was talking to one of the producers and baby, they loved what they saw from you. They think you add something extra to the show and in they words “you guys were off the chain”. I know you ain’t have nothing to worry about.” Karlous says mocking them and congratulating you.

“Thank you baby, for pushing me to do this. I actually really enjoyed today and can’t believe this is my new gig and my new lil found family. I love it here. I can’t believe freaking Mo’Nique was in the crowd. I got to talk to her. Queen gon’ tell me “You remind me of how comedy used to be. Just spittin’ about life and shit. We ain’t mean nothing by it. Just shooting the breeze. You’re going to go far niece.” I thought I was gonna pass the fuck out or something babe.: you say to him and he just stands there in awe of you while you give him the rundown.

“I told you. You be funny without even trying. Just doing the most random ass shit and I still be in the crib hollering.” he says chuckling softly

“Thanks baby. But the way you was looking at me all night in my lil Wild N Out shirt. You like what seen or what?” you tease as you lean in to lick over his lips and he lays you against the car grabbing your chin and kissing you.

“Where the Plan B? Where the Plan B?” he jokes and you shake your head , chuckling softly.

“Now you wild out.” you say , wrapping your arms around his neck

Little Pistol - Millstone

Chapter 4

First Previous Next

This feels almost like I'm starting a new story and in a way I am. Tim's story. His side of this world in creating. That being said, for those who only got into DC and Batman and the Robins through the Maribat fandom, this actually gives a lot of background on Tim that isn't normally covered from what I've seen. Or at least, not in depth. Sure, I'm giving my own perspective on how canon events could of turned out, but all the way up to Damian taking up Robin is technically canon compliant.

That being said, here we go. (Song is Millstone by Brand New. All songs are featured on my Timinette Angst Playlist)

~---~

Traveling downhill seemed so much easier than trekking up. In truth, it all depended on how you went. Slowly making your way on foot could end in braced, straining joints and burning calves from the effort of keeping balanced on steeper angles and rougher terrain. You could bike down faster, but you might miss everything that happens along the way or hit an edge and end up crashing to never see it through one way or another. Taken out of the race too soon. Running proved dangerous and much the same as a bike. One could always roll down the slope, but that leads to veering off course and coming up dizzy and disoriented. Falling was easy, but there was no control on how you went or how fast and many end up injured or lost by the time they hit the bottom.

Tim decided to mark his own path. He hadn't necessarily meant to find the bottom, it sort of found him to be honest, but nevertheless, he chose to make his way slowly down from the start. Twisting and winding carefully, every step deliberate and calculated until he stood where he is now, living in the brownstone with Jason Todd of all people. His would be murderer.

Funny how that worked.

It started early on, far sooner than most would guess, with his blackmailing his way into the mantle of Robin. Sure, it was ultimately Bruce's decision, but what else does one do with a kid with photographic evidence of your identity who saved your skin and insists on helping any way he can? Train him, send him around the world, and hone his skills under the nose of his parents, apparently.

Then his mother died and his father went into a coma. Bruce feared he'd fall to anger and vengeance, bringing up Jason as a reminder of what not to do.

It was interesting, the amount of times Jason was brought up as a form of warning. As a guidance for what not to be. It came to a point where he resented hearing the name, equated it to disappointment and idiocy. To brashness and brute strength. To death. His opinion of Jason was similar to that of a dumpster fire. Contained and expected, but needing to be put out before it could do any real damage to something actually important.

That was in part due to being a child who'd grown up watching Dick fly in the Robin colors and seeing how his successor performed afterwards. In some ways, the magic of the Robin suit transferred with its new owner, still amazing Tim with its ability to make Gotham a little brighter, a little safer. But the disconnect between Robin and Jason was too strong for him to see them as the same person. He still thought of Dick as Robin, despite knowing he wasn't in that suit. Then Jason died and soon after he began his training, not really out of desire to BE Robin, but more for knowing someone had to do it.

Then Bruce and in parts, Dick himself, kept reinforcing the story of Jason as something bad. As something to be avoided and better than. Jason was no longer a person at all in his mind. More of an urban legend told in bedtime stories to scare children into being good. It only furthered the disconnect he felt between looking at the case with the old Robin suit and hearing the name Jason Todd.

It was a while afterwards that his next step down occured, with his return to no man's land, his rescue and finally, his father barring him from Robin and Stephanie taking up the title. He didn't mean to feel resentful, but it happened nonetheless. He fought so hard to be good enough, to hold the Robin title and be worthy of it only to have it ripped away by Jack Drake's form of blackmail. Oh, the irony of it being the same as his own from long before.

It took manipulation and carefully working from the other side, but soon he convinced his father of his need to be Robin. Of how Gotham needed him. And Jack let him. Too bad it led to him being killed.

He faked an uncle to avoid being completely under Bruce's thumb. Wanted a say in his own life and felt adoption wouldn't be the way to go about it. Didn't want to replace his dead dad so soon after losing him.

Things went faster after that. Stephanie died. Then Kon. He switched his colors in remembrance of his fallen friend. Became a little darker. Colder. Distant. Bart died. He fell further. Stephanie was alive. She let him think she was dead. Batman knew and felt no need to tell him. She lied to him. Bruce lied to him. Everyone he loved left him one way or another. Jason tried to kill him. More than once.

Surprisingly, almost dying at his hands was what began to help Tim see Jason as he truly was. A human being. He opened up the files on Jason and began his own research, no longer taking his mentors for their word. If Jason was alive, he needed to know who exactly he was up against. And he did, now. He knew who Jason was. A guy who'd been just a kid, taken off the streets and thrown into the nightlife of Gotham. A kid who loved his mother and did what he could to keep her alive. Who did what he needed to keep himself alive. Who loved school and maintained perfect grades and read classic literature. Jason Todd wasn't some punk who died because he was a brash idiot who got in over his head. No, he was just a boy who found out his birth mom was alive and went looking for her. Who died trying to protect the woman who birthed him, despite being the one who betrayed him. The Robin costume wasn't magical. Wasn't it's own living thing. The mantel was only as strong as the one who wore it and Jason had worn it well.

Funny how the resurrected version saw who filled the suit now and decided to try and kill him. Guess he couldn't really fault him for it, though. Talia threw Jason in the pits and practically siked him on Tim. If only she had kept Damian to herself.

Tim took the child's attempt on his life to heart, despite the pardon to Jason for much the same. See the difference there was that Bruce didn't treat the two attempts the same. Both tried to kill Tim. But while Jason was condemned and seen as the enemy for it, Damian was barely punished. Sure, Bruce expressed anger and disappointment, but all and all, that was it. Quite frankly, Tim thought Jason was more justified and yet, he received the harsher treatment.

The injustice and unfair treatment of the Robins was never more clear than in that moment.

The true fall of Tim, however, was after Bruce died, leaving the others as orphans to battle over the cowl.

He never wanted to hold the title of Batman, but Dick was so reluctant and then Jason started posing as Batman, so Tim took him up. Just to put an end to it. To make the madness stop for just a second.

And finally, finally, Dick took his rightful place. After the loss of his father and adopted father and so many friends and teammates, Tim was ready for a semblance of normal. He'd worked under Dick before and it'd gone so well, he knew this is what they needed. What the city needed. Something was finally going to be okay.

But then it really wasn't. Dick gave his position to Damian. To the kid who killed, who tried to kill him. To an ungrateful, insubordinate, murderous child who held no morals or standard for anything that wasn't an animal. Dick took the only thing Tim had left and gave it away to the person who hated him most.

Well.

It should have come as no surprise that when Jason showed up, offering him refuge, a place to belong, a place at his side. He took it.

He took it on his own terms.

Taking up the mask, not behind Jason, but at his side, as his partner, Tim took over the Brownstone building and created his perch. His and Red Hood's basis of operation. Dick thought Gotham needed a cruel, brutal, ruthless Robin? Fine. He'd give it one.

Sipping on his mug of hot chocolate and looking out into the night, he couldn't help the twinge of a frown that creeped onto his face. The downhill descent was a difficult one, yeah, but one way or another, he found his way to the bottom.

DC say sike right now. Damian and Raven can't be a thing. Isn't she much older than him? Like Dick and Starfire age?? Also they are both so emotionlly constipated I don't see it happening between them. He looks like a baby next to her 😂 . He is 13 here and she is in her 20′s....DC why??

Eh, just another canon I will ignore.

Really, what have we Superman fans done, and not Lois's, not only does Batman constantly humiliate him, but the woman also degrades him socially and emotionally. I'm siked of seeing how they have lost respect for a character who is or has been my favorite character in the comics. Because I don't even recognize him anymore. Hopefully and I wish it really closed DC, I feel ashamed how they have turned Superman into a clown. From 5 comics I see of Superman 3, I am horrified by how they treat him.

I’ll try to answer both your questions here.

Humiliating Supes has been DC favorite sport since 30+ years ago. Incapable writers has to simplify the character not because of the difficulties the public had to understand him, but for their own lack of competence to grasp such hero in its whole. And by simplifying I mean degrade him, taking him to a level their little minds could encompass: making him “human” by putting him under the authority of the all mighty Batso, under the high heels of Lois, chaining him to a city, a job and a family, reducing his mental capacity to that of the most stupid of humans, when he was once a genius intellect, elevating every mortal he’s in contact with so they can surpass him in every discipline he should be the best at by default.

Sadly, fans all over the World were okay with all of that or, at least, didn’t say a word until it was too late to come back.

The problem is, after all this degradation and humiliation, the incompetent editors and writers still don’t “get” Superman, because they are too busy making his human friends and lover awesome. They are human, Superman is still a filthy alien with no connection to humanity unless the awesome humans teach him how.

Funny how he’s supposed to hear everything on the planet, but failed to detect Batso sneaking behind him in the issue of JL you mentioned. Funny how he’s fast like the Flash, or almost, but couldn’t dodge in time to avoid been stricken by Bruce and his energy knuckles. Also funny how an energy discharge from the Spectre could knock out every member of the JL, included Batso, who should’ve been disintegrated by a force capable of knocking Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Flash down. That’s an occasion where being a smart asshole doesn't amount to much.

Funny how Batso accused Supes of looking down on us, when he dismissed the apology of Clark, as if he was just an annoyance, and always treating everyone on his team like idiots. And Supes has to always act reverent towards Bruce, even though he looks at him like a good for nothing alien scum. Being a good guy it’s okay, but that is just being a submissive idiot.

DC started mistreating Superman coincidentally with the beginning of their own decline, which we are witnessing at its peak right now, as if their destinies are, somehow, bonded: if Supes is okay, the company is okay, if he’s facing his downfall, also is DC Comics. The company started with him and will fall with him too. They should take better care of their foundational character.

2019 in animation - very selected summary

So, I dunno if anyone’s noticed, but this year was crazy strong when it comes to animation, both in terms of amount and quality of it. No matter what type you liked - traditional...

...3D...

...cell-shaded...

...hyper-realistic...

- oh, wait, wait, no, my mistake, that’s clearly live-action.

Anyway, no matter what type of animation is your favourite, this year gave you something. and I’m gonna go chronologically, listing those that I have been able to see. Keep in mind, day only has 24 hours, so I couldn’t see every new season or premiere (for example, I had no interest in OK KO, or She-Ra). Some spoilers below. And Gifs. LOTS OF gifs.

In January: we were still riding on the Spiderverse bandwagon from last year,, which culminated with an Oscar in February. And though as I’ve said, the movie would have worked better imho as a, say, Netflix series, as only two of the spider-people were properly fleshed out, I have to admit, it was a well-earned prize.

Then we were hit by the finale of Steven Universe, and while some complained about the another redemption of cosmic regime, it was an incredibly satisfying ending to a great cartoon... so much so that a whole movie and an epilogue series was made.

plus, it had a segment animated by James Baxter, so it’s automatic win..

January also blessed us with a reboot of another old-forgotten property, Carmen Sandiego, with her second season arriving in October. And it proved that reboots do make sense, but only if you actually do something with it. The story was fresh, creative, and yet, similar in its serialised form to capture the imagination of viewers. Also, grappling hooks for the win.

February was the month of dragons. Not only we got the conclusion of How to Train Your Dragon franchise, but Netlfix gave us second season of The Dragon Prince. While I still consider HTTYD 1 as the best movie of the franchise, as it cleverly told the story of a conflict without any obvious villain, HTTYD 3 was a satisfying conclusion, strengthened by the Homecoming special in November.

TDP S2 on the other hand, did everything season 1 did, except better. For once, the studio finally broke their piggy bank and bought a new graphics card, so the choppy 15FPS animation of S1 is gone. The story got darker, more mature, yet whimsical, and it only made us hungry for more. Luckily, S3 was just around the corner.

March gave us season 2 of Craig of the Creek. I have to admit, I missed out on this cartoon in 2018, and it was a humongous mistake. CotC is quite possibly the most wholesome cartoon out there, telling amazing story about a boy, his friends, and his family, glorifying the mundane adventures in the creek to truly epic proportions. The family is especially important part, I do not remember a cartoon where bonds between family members were as well written as here. Definitely a must-watch if you have missed it as well.

On 8th of March, the International Women’s day, DC Superhero Girls 2019, aka My Little Pony But Humans And With Superpowers, started, and it was a blast. Creator. Lauren Faust, has once again proven that whatever she touches turns into gold. The shorts were funny, clever, and changed just enough of the DC universe to feel familiar, yet show us new, interesting scenarios.

In April, Missing Link had its premiere, showing that traditional, stop motion animation not only has place in modern times, but it can deliver spectacular scenes, though of course, we expected nothing less of studio Laika.

In May, one of Disney’s long-running series, Star vs The Forces of Evil had its finale, and that brings us to the first screech of the list. Many people complained about the direction the show has taken, some claiming it has gone off-track in S3, some saying it was S4 that dropped the quality. Some, like me, saw nothing wrong with it, but the finale let people dissatisfied. If anything, it was too short, and definitely could use an epilogue movie that would tie some of the remaining plot threads in something bigger than one single pan-shot.

Rest in piece, laser puppies

Wait, they’re alive? Well, then... rest in piece, Hekapoo and her puppies.

This month also presented a first contender for this Summer’s line-up, Twelve Forever. The cartoon took us into wild, bizarre land of imagination, and offered quite a few very mature lessons about growing up and acknowledging one’s responsibilities. It also provided much needed representation, both in terms of colour and sexuality.

Sadly, amidst scandals with its creator, the show was canned, though it’s also Netflix’s fault for not marketing it enough.

A-and maybe the show was just a tad too... creepy....

Also somewhere in May some Games might have been lost and some Thrones burned, but no one cares about it anymore. i think it was popular for a while, though.

However, 12 Forever was just a start. June gave us Amphibia, my personal top-bingeable cartoon of the year. Disney has hit a jackpot, giving us an incredibly creative fantasy show with rich mythology and enough emotional conflict to create fantastic storytelling. The only slight complain was the scheduling, as episodes aired daily, meaning the season was over by the end of the month. But honestly, the amount of humour and adventures with Anne in the forg world we got compensates that thousandfold. Book 2, coming in 2020, can only makes thing more interesting.

Going for a hat-trick, in August we got the premiere of a cartoon that I was betting would be my personal favourite, Infinity Train... Until I learned of its schedule, even weirder than Amphibia’s. While Amphibia took a right turn, and gave us 20 episodes, a perfect amount for both plot and filler stories, Infinity Train... turned out to be a mini-series with just ten episodes, airing daily, two per night. And that, in my opinion, was a fatal mistake. Not only we now know that the story is not over, as Season 2 arrives in January, but the short episodes and its density gave very little time to leave an impact on us. If it was at least spaced out, then maybe I wouldn’t be so judgemental, but for me it was a blow that deflated the balloon I was clinging to since 2016 pilot. Still, there is more to come, and the story was more than interesting, so we’ll see if I get used to the pocket mini-story arcs.

September. Remember Steven Universe? That cartoon that ended? SIKE, HAVE A TV MOVIE. And by gods, old and new, what a phenomenal movie it was. A musical telling its own, contained story of betrayal, trust and finding yourself, based on Rebecca Sugar’s mis-adventure with a phone that reset itself... I have seen this movie at least ten times, and its OST is one I come back to constantly on Spotify. The songs are amazing, catchy, incredibly-well written, deep, and, as usual, send very adult messages about growing up and finding one’s identity, which SU was already famous for. Must watch.

Continuing the theme of reboots that actually make sense, Ducktales finished its second season after duck-bombs in March and May, with a heart-breaking story of Della Duck and humongous finale, extending DT’s universe to other Disney Afternoon shows. Season 3 promises even more, and DT is a golden standard of making a reboot that stays faithful to a more than half-a-century old material, while adding enough material to keep things fresh and funny for modern audience. What I’m saying is, Disney could really learn from Disney (pictured below).

But while some things start, some have to finish. October saw the end of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, a show that has taken Internet by the storm in 2010 and...

...okay, cringy brony things aside, this was a clever re-imagining of the decades-old property, and its popularity, especially amongst the people outside the target demography is a proof of its quality. The ending was perfectly serviceable, nothing that stood out, in my opinion, but it definitely didn’t disappoint either. MLP FiM will live in history as the cartoon about pastel tiny horses that made adult men cry and gave them enough passion to create years of of visual crack. And porn. Lots of porn.

November: Just In case if one season of human and elf adventures was enough, The Dragon Prince Season 3 arrived in November, and it provided a thrilling conclusion to its first smaller story arc. Though I wish the season was longer, and it dived into the history of Elves’ and Humans’ animosities, I would be lying if I said I didn’t binge-watch it all in one sitting, gripping my chair.

Do you like Green Eggs and Ham? Yes, yes, I do, Sam-I-am. Question: how do you take a classic poem, made purposefully of limited vocabulary, and turn it into a thirteen episode series with a beginning, middle, and end? The answer: You add bunch of weird stuff and the mother of all complicated backstories... at least by the original’s standards. And here’s the thing: this is the first Dr Seuss’ adaption where it works. Somehow the writers were able to stretch each verse of the famous poem into a surprisingly emotional story about friendship, losing and restoring hope, as well as following your dreams. Plus, it gave us Fargo-esque team of Bad Guys. Come on.

And just in time for Christmas season, we were blessed with Klaus, a clear contender for a Christmas classic in my opinion. This STUNNINGLY beautiful traditionally animated original Netflix movie is a very, very clever reinterpretation of St. Nick’s mythos, telling a deep, and very realistic story of greed and selfishness, and how can one turn their life around by changing their life, one present at a time.

We’re about to end the year, so HOW ABOUT SOME EMOTIONAL TRAUMA, KIDS? Yes, Steven Universe Future is here, and from the looks of it, Steven’s problems are just beginning, since they mature with him. The show’s too real, man. However, it also provided much needed levity, giving us a familiar taste. Nothing more to say, as the show is still airing, and it will surely give us more emotional moments.

And that’s a wrap for 2019. As I’ve said, it is not exhaustive by any means, and from the looks of it, 2020 is gonna be as packed as its prequel. So yeah, the world might be on fire, but at least we got some nice cartoon to binge-watch.

Happy new year everyone! At least I have time until 6th of January when the first episode of Infinity Train Season two arriWHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S OUT ALREADY

Your recent post talked about the Classic Media library that DreamWorks owns, so am I right to assume that whomever owns the licensing rights can do what they want with the story without WEP getting involved or focibly changing something?

Hi Anon, thank you for the Ask!

Questions regarding the Voltron IP, and who owns what, are on a lot of folks’ minds right now, and they are questions that I’ve discussed in private with others quite a bit.

The first thing to clear up is that owning licensing rights are not the same as owning the intellectual property (IP). Copyright is a form of IP that protects the expression of the IP in visual or audio form. The phrase “All Rights Reserved” that appears in copyright notices means that the copyright holder reserves all rights for their own use, all the rights provided by law.

An IP holder can enter an agreement (money is involved of course) with another entity to grant them: (1) An exclusive license; (2) A sole license; (3) A non-exclusive license. There might be other forms of these types of IP licenses, but those are the basic types that I’m aware of. Classic Media (now DreamWorks Classics under DreamWorks Animation) has the rights to manage-and-oversee the licensing of IP for the Voltron franchise. That is not the same thing as owning the IP itself. Thus, owning the licensing rights does not mean that the one who owns those rights can do whatever they want with the story.

Here are examples of copyright notices from different Voltron things that I own:

“Voltron: A Legend Forged. April 2009. Published by Devil’s Due Publishing, Inc. Voltron and its logo, all associated characters and their respected likeness are ™ and © 2009 World Events Productions, Ltd. Used with permission.”

The copyright notices above are chronological, and you can see the changes in how they are worded over time. You’ll note language like “under license to” with respect to Classic Media and DreamWorks Animation.

#8 is a little different, as “under license to” does not appear, and that might be because that copyright notice was for a thing that is specifically Voltron Legendary Defender, whereas the preceding one, #7 was for this:

Above: a re-packaged and re-branded GoLion SuperMiniPla set by Bandai released in the US in 2018. In Japan, the packaging used the GoLion branding. In the US, they put the Voltron Legendary Defender logo on the box even though this is the DotU Voltron. The copyright notice in the lower left corner of the box reads as described in #7 of the list above.

Now, the matter of “forceably changing something” isn’t quite clear, nor is the line where DreamWorks Animation’s copyright begins and WEP’s ends. Same goes for Dynamite and Devil’s Due Publishing when they published Voltron comics. In those comics, new characters and concepts were introduced, but whether or not they are owned fully by the publishers isn’t clear without knowing more about their licensing agreement. One can look at the long history of artists and writers getting into court fights with Marvel and DC to see how complex creative control and licensing is. WEP has gone to court a few times over rights as well. Toei’s letter to WEP over a live-action Voltron film, and what happened when the film producer looked into Toei’s claim is hilarious.

So the long answer? Sure, the licensee could get creative, lawyer up and fight “forceable changes” (which is too vague but I get what you’re going for here), and it will probably go to court in order to more clearly define the initial agreement. Is it worth it? Probably not if the licensee ever wants to work with WEP’s IP again.

In the example of VLD—if their agreement allows for it—then at the very least, anything wholly new created by DreamWorks Animation for VLD is theirs. Their agreement may not allow for this, but it seems short-sighted of DW to not have something like that. Owning the right to license the IP of the franchise isn’t enough because that is not a copyright.

Hypothetically, if DreamWorks wanted to do a MFE spin-off series, then—if their agreement gave them ownership of new characters/concepts/etc created for VLD—they should be able to do so without interference so long as nothing of WEP’s IP appears. That means no logos, no Voltron robot, no legacy characters, and no references or concepts of any kind that could be construed as conferring WEP’s permission and approval of the content.

The minute anything related to Voltron, legacy or otherwise appears, that’s when WEP has to be involved. There’s no way around that unless you want to risk a court fight. If DW and WEP have a good relationship, then, as owners of the licensing rights, DW might be able to do what they want without needing to get permission for every thing that they do, but that seems legally risky. Everyone involved needs to cover their ass.

In a traditional licensing agreement, permission/approval is granted after designs/concepts/plans/etc are submitted to the IP holder. If approved, then the licensee has to execute what they submitted in good faith. The licensee can’t drastically change what they submitted, even though changes do happen. It’s a matter of how different the changes are, and if those changes could damage the IP. If the licensee is “slipping something past the higher-ups”, they better pray damn hard that the IP holder likes what was slipped by when they’re surprised to see it and wonder why it wasn’t shown to them to begin with when they gave their approval.

For their part, as IP holder, WEP has to abide by the agreement and approval they’ve given as well, or else they risk a court fight. Showing up 6 months after giving approval during production and saying “Sike! We want to make changes!” isn’t going to go over well, and they’d have to prove that what was being produced is different enough from what they approved to be a legal issue of some kind. That doesn’t mean that they can’t ask for changes, or make noises of disapproval, and really, as IP holders, that’s their right—Voltron is theirs. It doesn’t matter if the licensee has a better idea, if WEP doesn’t like it, too damn bad. Others are not entitled to do whatever they want with WEP’s IP, if they have a license, they have to abide by the agreement in the license and honor the integrity of the franchise. That’s a big responsibility, and the licensee needs to do their part to not damage the reputation of the IP or drastically alter the perception of the IP.

It would be like Mattel granting a license to someone involved with Heavy Metal magazine (or whomever owns the right to Taarna) to design a Taarna Barbie doll, using the classic Barbie mold, with the Barbie logo and everything.

Above: Taarna and a Beach Bikini Barbie.

Could it happen? Yes. But how’s that going to look for Mattel and their Barbie brand?

If a Taarna Barbie figure is marketed as a convention or online-exclusive for a collector’s audience (and using the classic Barbie mold would be a selling point for that), and if the marketing and so on is tailored for that audience, then it probably wouldn’t impact Mattel and Barbie’s image.

That marketing and packaging still needs to avoid things like nudity and gore from the movie, and then what you’ll end up with is a white-haired Barbie wearing a bikini with a sword. Barbies have worn bikinis before, no big deal. But if the Taarna Barbie figure is positioned in the packaging like her nude scene on the rack when captured by the barbarian chief, with the barbarian chief’s severed head as an accessory, then that’s going to damage Mattel and Barbie.

May as well skip working with Mattel and make your own mold for a Taarna doll.
