Beautiful friendship

#iasip #dennis reynolds #mac mcdonald #This is actually recreating a dream I had a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it functions on its own merits? I genuinely can't tell at this poin #The dream involved something of this general description happening in an episode #The episode itself did not appear in the dream but I was looking at LENGTHY tumblr posts about the heartbreaking tragedy of the Bong Scene #Like HUGE analysis posts on the Bong Scene (being called 'Bonggate') and the 'lawnmower motifs' (I don't know) #And dream me was like 'OK whatever can we please talk about how they referenced that 'Ariel Needs Legs' comic?' #(the 'Ohhh I can't not fuck him' bit was apparently in the episode) Like I was REALLY upset no one was talking about it #This was only half of the dream before it shifted focus to me crawling through drainage tunnels in search of a pot dealer #'Bonggate' came up again later but it stopped being a tv show fandom thing and had shifted into being about #a major political scandal involving the Bush family apparently? Which resulted in the federal recriminalization of weed? anyway #sketches

ep12: why doesn't anyone ever gif the manure scene?

I had such a great time watching this episode. it may be one of my favorites. it's funny. there's important relationship beats between the wens and wwx. there's drama. there's foreshadowing. the kids are not having a good time, but it's not so dire as to be painful to watch. lwj being wounded adds a flair to his character. and it has some nice wwx moments

he says this, and I believe he means it. he just can't help himself I fear

STAY AWAY FROM HER

ohhh bundled herbs from the ceiling

maybe one of the first Great Wei Wuxian Moments. god this was so funny. starting with the smirk at lwj like 'look what I'm about to do baby' such a showoff. and then the stretching. sob. I can't believe more people weren't in love with him

I read somewhere that wwx reciting the lan rules was like an injoke to the rest of the kids - they all shared this experience together than wen chao didn't. it's a reminder of a happier time, a reminder that they're all in this together. it makes jc roll his eyes, but jzx fights a smile

see, wwx complained about CR being strict and unfair, and it was, but they weren't at risk of this kind of physical violence or threats against their family. the food was apparently good. the lans were highly respected and the students learned important lessons about cultivation. although it seemed stressful at the time, it was probably the last extended period of time they were all safe and in a stable position. I mean, compared to being at the mercy of wen chao? man's a maniac. in CR they got to go to lantern festivals and weren't locked in their quarters

he's just very funny in this pose. and then they get called for MANURE DUTY and they're all like

THEY'RE ALL SO UPSET. LWJ IS SO MAD. HELP. wwx is like 'oh my god lan zhan. omg im sorry baby I never planned on this' lmao it's just manure. these rich guys could do a lot worse. it doesn't even smell that bad. and yeah I know I said in the past wwx is a sweetheart guy well now I think he's a baby guy

this visual is so funny

wwx standing up for himself 🥰🥰🥰🥰 god he is so badass he just grabbed that whip out of thin air. that would be a defining scene for a minor character but he does cooler shit on a daily basis so it's just a footnote

JZX STANDING UP FOR WWX! I seriously think in an AU where things didn't go to shit, they would have gotten along after growing up a bit

lwj was so ready to go into that dungeon with him but wwx refused...

HELLO ANIMATRONIC DOG!!!!!

you can't tell in a screenshot, but these walls are shaking as wwx pounds them in a way that makes it clear they're cheaply made and very thin irl. this adds to the charm I think

wq showing up to jc's prison/house and all either of them care about is wwx but then jc is like 'ummmm lady wen are you okay 🥺" and wq is like 'im fine gtg' it's so funny

WEN NING!!!!! HERO!!! I love seeing how early wn and wwx's bond became very strong. bc wwx and wen ning are both people who do the right thing no matter what authority tells them not to

Hellfire Palace....cool name

it is so sad to see wwx pretend like his injuries and mental trauma are nothing but even sadder is seeing jc yelling at him for not taking it seriously enough? dude, I think he knows how horrific it just was. HE WAS THERE. and if he won't take it seriously, doesn't that mean you just want to keep a closer eye on him instead of adding to his stress? god he sucks so bad as a caretaker and emotional support. I swear. I know jc cares about wwx but he constantly disregards his suffering even when he knows it has to be bad. there's being emotionally constipated then there's just being extremely emotionally neglectful of someone who you're supposed to care about. fucking jzx showed more defense and concern for wwx than jc did this episode

here's wwx holding jc back as wc threatens LP. he does the same for lwj, way later on

wen ning standing up to his sister!!! go wen ning!!!!

NHS EPIC FAINTING MOVE!!! love how we are never told how he gets back to qinghe. we just don't see him after this for a while and then he's back home. how? who knows. its nhs

WANG LINGJAO MY HORRIBLE QUEEN

um okay this is so funny. you can see lwj in pain trying to walk, wwx is watching with his heart clearly aching, wuji is going all gently. romantic moment incoming. but the thing is...everyone in this scene is just wandering very slowly in circles. wwx and jc are just standing there. lwj could also just be standing still like wwx is. there is no need to walk anywhere legend <3

jc going 'stop helping people!' kind of makes sense from the paranoid mind of a 16 year old boy, but in a moral, personal, AND political sense it doesn't. wwx sees someone he clearly cares about in need and wants to help them, and it's a sect heir! of course this is a good idea! jc knows that wwx won't walk away from something important to him, and it's just wrong to ignore him anyway when he could be disabled for life

jc seems to grasp at straws to keep wwx from leaving him. he leans on 'he doesn't like you' and 'focus on our family instead' even tho they are literally just standing there and I def think part of it is jealousy. he can tell wwx likes lwj and he's uneasy about wwx being pulled in another direction. also, panicked about their home being invaded and wanting all the support he can get. but wwx stands firm. there is something that needs doing! he will do it! I always liked this about him

oh, wwx removing jc's hand from his arm. the symbolism...

when he said this the first time I lose my mind, I was like "that's what YOU'RE always doing you dork!!!" on my first watch I hadn't known how the general caretaking dynamic would be between them and I still quite like wwx looking out for and protecting lwj. this is something they share, and something wwx mentions about wq too, early on

I just think this is a sweet and genuine smile

Hazbin Liveblog Episode 7

And here we go!

Huh, so the rest of the crew knows already? I wonder who told them- or if Vaggie and Charlie had an argument where everybody could hear.

Classy as always, Angel.

Harsh as it is, I can't really blame Husk- he's been dead something like 50 years and suddenly things have gotten way worse in the last six months, twice. Vaggie still is sticking up for her, though.

PENT AND KEEKEE... there's a theory that the death Viv reiterated in the qna may be KeeKee due to the cards depicting it destroyed, but I'm glad the kitty trusts snakeman now.

I wish we had time to see more of Razzle and Dazzle, I know they weren't in the pilot proper much either but if they were gifts from her dad, it would have been nice to have a bit of focus on them, since I think they've only shown up with that one line from Lucifer and giving her tissues here?

And here's the preview from yesterday! He's so slimy, I love it.

Her hair all messy... dare I say, A Look.

You can just tell whoever boarded this bit had a blast with Alastor in it.

Her little hoofies....

The animation of him kicking his legs like a teenage girl and then moving his head in over from the right like it's a slideshow image is so fucking funny.

I don't know if it's just the lighting in this scene, but I like how their colors look- her skin's more of a peach than white, and his is darker, closer to the tone he probably had while alive.

His animation here is SO good,- the spindly fingers like spiders, how he manhandles her face with his fingers to force her to look up and slides his fingers in his mouth to force up a grin, how he's basically telling her he's putting on a front and he's not actually always happy while he's still being unnerving enough and with such conviction it probably won't sink in it's technically vulnerable... I love it.

With 'years', I really do wonder how long ago Vaggie fell. Five years? Ten?

Oh man, that's the sting from the pilot, isn't it? Or at least it's very close. Have they used that before with him in the series proper?

Huh... he picked up a leaf off the plant and it didn't wilt. I wonder if that's because it was already fallen off the plant, or if that was just a gag from the comic.

Ohhh yep. Called it was going there- she's desperate.

I love the fakeout there- he probably knew that, like it or not, if he made a deal for her soul Lucifer would curbstomp him.

I LOVE the animation when the deal goes through and how both of their true demon forms peek through, I'll have to watch it back closer later.

I wonder if deals between powerful demons are always this 'obvious'? The fact that he said 'right on cue' makes me suspect he pushed it outside the room on purpose.

He must have transferred the info during the process of the deal, I doubt he shouted it over all the Magic happening, lmao.

I'd make a comment about the condescending 'good girl' headpat but I think every one of you knows what it is.

Perfect comic timing on the 'they say insane shit all the time!' 'bank accounts are created by the shadow government!' 'SEE?!?'

Even the bow wilted. I love little touches like that, where clothes carry the mood.

Three years, huh! That makes sense- long enough it's clearly an established relationship, not long enough that it would feel ridiculous that she'd be able to hide it.

So... there are kids there? I can't imagine that boy that couldn't be older than six or seven sinned enough to go to Hell, so they must be Hellborn of some kind. (Plus, it would add to the 'hellborns are safe' thing if it's not just Charlie, since they made no indication that imp dude from Happy Day wasn't just a sinner.

Charlie, you waltzed through the cannibal town during your song a few months ago. How do you not know about a fairly sizable and distinct group apparently not far from the center of the city?

Oh, I love Rosie already. It makes sense she's an Overlord if she runs the cannibal town.

ACE IN THE HOLE, I love it. She's probably been waiting years to use that joke but he never brought anybody back to make it work. (Even if he ever did bring Stellaluna around, the first time would have been back when she was a teenager.)

I imagine he probably brings back extra meat when he takes down enough people, and she offers him any opportunities for good deals in exchange.

Very steady head on your shoulders there, Charlie.

I mean, if I was talking to the leader of a cannibal colony, 'you help us kill people, you can eat all the bodies' is the pitch I'd use too.

The interior design of Carmilla's fortress is gorgeous, and her cool demeanor is so good.

Yesss she's using the shoes as weapons!

THE GIRLS ARE CALLED CANNIBETTES, that sounds like something from girl scouts.

Just had to get that dig in, Alastor. Thanks.

Susan mentioned... and she got a second swear out of Alastor. I'm assuming she's not actually his mom or he wouldn't react like that, ah well. I love how she clearly gets under his skin but Rosie probably tells him he's not allowed to eat her, lmao.

To be fair, she does have big-ass eyes.

Oof, Charlie's definitely stressed.

Great music choice for the fight.

Taking her hair down as soon as Vaggie says she's not used to fighting with long hair just to prove that she's still fine doing so is a power move.

HA, I was wondering if anybody would point out the reasons they made it easy enough to guess if you thought about it enough.

Hey, she's still helping!

I didn't super love Carmilla's voice in Whatever it Takes, but I liked it in Respectless and adore it here. The choreography is great too.

The little smile as it switches to playful and confident, eeeee.

I like Charlie sort of talking herself through this once she gets past the immediately frustration, and how Rosie is clearly very good at helping- which makes perfect sense, as she's helped keep cannibal town a nice place for who knows how long by helping mediate interpersonal problems.

Hey, maybe she was just pitching to the wrong audience!

Giving her his mic is really sweet, since it's sort of like a part of him.

It's... really, really nice getting to hear it in context, since I rewatched the trailer a bunch of times.

She's getting Susan on board and it just took encouraging violence!

He's helping!

I love the detail of one of them having a fox skeleton instead of a full fox on her hat.

C'mon, Charlie, you're getting the cannibals willing to fight for you. Does it really matter how they do?

I'm suspecting that Alastor's plans to guide her are going to be something we grapple with more in s2.

Aww, the little head from the trailer was a gift for Vaggie, that's sweet.

Everything was worth it for Pent's pusssssssssies.
