LMAO so funny thing is everyone knows the whole Sonic and Shadow looking alike thing is total bullshit and I totally agree those comments they try to pull in the games and show(s? I'm not technically a Sonic fan I dunno if it's multiple) make basically no sense to me but then my Mom comes in while watching Sonic Prime and says "So what, Sonic has a brother or something?" and this whole other world has opened up to me and I've seen the truth of it all

#so to clarify I do not consider myself a Sonic fan since I have never played a Sonic game and I've never read any of the comics #and idk the lore cuz I've never really bothered to watch other people play it and I have watched some of the shows #y'know my grandma had 4Kids so sometimes I would catch Sonic X on TV #but literally most of my knowledge of the Sonic franchise is just having people talk to me about it #like when I was a kid my grandma babysat these kids who were older than me I forget how old I was like under 10 I think #and one of the kid's big interest was Sonic so I would just sit and listen to him talk about Sonic the entire time I was there #he would play the games too I think but my brain didn't process any of that so I have no actual memory of the screen #I would mostly just pay attention to him talking cuz he would talk about it while playing it was great #so that is the base of my knowledge and then after my grandma stopped babysitting them it was radio silence #until y'know people would occasionally bring stuff up in videos I'd watch and I'd look @ videos about people talking abt Sonic #occasionally and see like memes or YTPs of Sonic or y'know abridged stuff #but I literally never actually watched a Sonic game until Frontiers came out and then The Murder Of Sonic the Hedgehog #and Sonic Prime is the first Sonic show I properly sat down and watched which show is great btw I enjoy it a lot #but yeah and it was vaguely purposeful like I was keeping myself away cuz I know how I am about stuff and I WILL try to learn EVERYTHING #if I get too interested in Sonic as a franchise #oh I did play Unleashed sometime after it first came out and couldn't get past like the first fuckin level but tbf I was like 7 years old #possibly 8 years old cuz I'm not 100% sure how much later I got the game but like I was really bad @ any game that wasn't just like #spamming buttons since I grew up on fighting games lmao #but yeah I dropped the game almost immediated I do not count that for anything #but yeah long story short: all my knowledge is second hand like I still think I know a good amount for what it's worth but #I wouldn't trust my own knowledge

it's so scary visiting wattpad and seeing fanfiction for adult cartoons . aren't you all like 11

#ESPECIALLY for stuff like inside job rick and morty south park camp camp etc etc #like. those are the worst shows for someone barely in middle school to watch #inside job is a bit tamer but y'know . the whole premise of it. and even still some of the jokes and scenes and shit. #(kinda ironic i'm saying this. considering i watched diabolik lovers at 8 years old and that activated an obsession with vampires. and- #am a fan of an adult cartoon as a minor but it's whatever) #i fink we should all go back to writing shitty gravity falls fanfics because that was MY introduction to wattpad as a 12 year old #jeremy hater moment #<- TECHNICALLY???? #this is more me being bewildered but you know how kids are #ok im turning reblogs on i'm ready for this post to be in the wild

Whenever people call the existence of female characters "woke" I just remember when I was a kid and I goddamn wished there were more female characters. Jedi, transformers, any 'boy' property I liked I wished there were more girls. I promise you, little girls don't see Rey and think "oh wow look at the feminist girlboss propaganda what a mary sue", little girls look at Rey and go "holy shit she's so cool"

#also I thought the star wars prequels fucking *ruled* as a kid which is why I will go to bat for them despite their flaws #i hate to admit but jar jar binks was one of my favorites and as an 8 year old I wished he had more screen time in AotC and RotS #and like. I for sure won't vouch for the quality of the sequel trilogy I think they suck ass #but I think Rey's 'mary sue' status isn't *close* to as big a structural problem as people say #maybe I'm biased though because she has a similar backstory to my own mary sue star wars OC as a kid #so I know I would have absolutely *loved* her

rewatching season three i can see why people aged 14 to 17 think they're the target audience for the show they did not write this for adult humans to enjoy

#every subplot sounds more ridiculous than the last i know it's only barely enjoyable from a character development and stuff standpoint but #that's all it has going for it to me because the supernatural plot is just so? did they have children brainstorm and give them their best #ideas because what #russian terminator guy i owe you an apology i wasn't really familiar with your game #when people complained a little while ago i was #agreeing with them but i forgot just how bad it was it's SO BAD...russians under the mall is a classic of course. mean william being #possessed instead of nice william this time is a little funny #i was 17 when it came out and i enjoyed it. #not to do the whole age thing again but it really is funny that they're like how dare you you're an adult like you were 8 when season one #came out do you think they made this show for you. #the crazy thing is they do just because there's KIDS IN THE SHOW like omg. there's kids in the shining was that for 7-year-olds #not saying people under the age of 40 can't enjoy the show seeing as i am as you all know under the age of 40. as are the duffers for #another six months #and i started watching the show when i was 14 i don't think they're crazy for liking it obviously i think they're crazy for thinking they #were the intended audience #i'm sorry i don't even remember disliking season 3 that much the last time i watched it. and i'm actually having fun watching it i just #also think it's stupid #and like i say: brf slt

[trans-xianxian]

the kids like to tease me about always wearing the same clothes and outfits and ask why I've worn things multiple times and I don't really care so I never really shut it down but it's gotten to a point where these very well off children are stepping over a line and today I had to be like hey. you aren't hurting My feelings but questions and comments like that generally aren't appropriate and can make ppl uncomfortable let's not comment on other people's appearances

#sometimes I forget that I'm teaching these tiny people how to be humans #and things that don't bother Me because I am adult secure in myself and they're like 8 #are actions that could be hurtful to other people and need to be redirected #before they like go into middle school asking their classmates why they don't have a lot of clothes #and make some poor insecure 13 year old cry #like how they kept making weird comments about my body hair and I don't care so I was like whatever #but it got to a point last week where I had to be like hey these aren't kind or appropriate things to say about another persons body #and I know you're being silly but if you said these things to someone who is insecure you could really hurt their feelings #working in a very. affluent neighborhood is very strange because while none of our kids are like entitled or snobby #their life experience is in such a tiny bubble that I have to be like hey. different people exist in the world #ghost posts #text

the hilarious thing about my mom is that she’s almost never disappointed in me. she’s not perfect, but she’s mostly always been more concerned with my happiness instead of my achievements. 

so imagine my surprise when i tell her i have not, in fact, ever watched the classic korean drama the coffee prince, and she makes the most disappointed, shocked sound, and goes, “YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE COFFEE PRINCE? THE CLASSIC OF KOREAN DRAMAS? MY OWN DAUGHTER?”

anyways, my homework is now to watch the coffee prince in the span of two weeks.

#caroline talks #i'll do it in a week because i'm crazy like that <3 #my mother has NEVER sounded SO insulted in her ENTIRE LIFE #she was like 'HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE WATCHED THE COFFEE PRINCE??? HOW??' #'MY OWN DAUGHTER???' #she was like 'YOUR AHJUSSHI LEE SUN KYUN FROM MY MISTER IS IN IT' #me: oh yeah and gong yoo #my mom: hush yeah i know about gong yoo but LEE SUN KYUN #and that's how i learned my mother developed a crush on lee sun kyun #because of coffee prince #she has a thing for the smart-looking guys i think #she also was like 'oh lee sun kyun .. . . . he always looks like he has a grey cloud over his face' #anyways! she's very insulted that i've never watched coffee prince #and i'm just like 'UMMA YOU MADE ME WATCH BOYS OVER FLOWERS' #and she goes 'yeah i don't know why i thought you would like that' #you think i'm kidding but when i was 8-10 years old #my mom would just. take her laptop. #sit me down in front of it #and go 'watch this kdrama' #and like a good little girl i would #and she'd be so disappointed whenever she'd find me watching american tv shows later #she'd be like 'aww :( are they more fun?' #and my clueless ass would be like 'sometimes! not all the time tho' #fast forward to literally. 10+ years later. #outside of succession i cannot remember the last time i actually watched a non-korean show

Also look I watched Oklahoma this week for the first time. Like, the 1950s cowboy musical about murder Oklahoma, which is incredibly easy to find on Disney+, and okay.

1) I have one of the songs stuck in my head and it’s A BAD ONE and I can’t get over it because I want to talk about this musical for approximately 85029402 hours but also I cannot stress enough how much I don’t recommend watching it. It’s so complicated? It’s - ok it’s almost exactly the same way I felt when I read Ian Fleming’s entire collection of original Bond novels in a single summer, which is to say: it’s a deeply unsettling encapsulation of the profoundly racist, sexist, and homophobic normativity of the 1950s without intending to be.

It’s fluffy “fun” pop culture! I the viewer am expected to feel entertained and carefree because this is a puff movie or a campy spy novel. But the baked in values - the clues the story includes to imply someone is weird, the casually demeaning language, the overt racism - are so jarring that it’s impossible to experience the fun without interrogating the time in which it exists. (And, I think also, with Oklahoma it feels so much like the basis for a lot of the modern hard-right ‘values’ that I can’t look away)

2) Like, ok. Right off the bat I’m going to say half this movie is PROBLEMATIC AT BEST there are in theory two intertwining romantic arcs and one is A Man In Brownface Being A Racist Caricature Of Someone From The Middle East hooks up with The Town Idiot Woman Who’s Too Dumb To Understand Sexual Consent (she sings a song about it) and they’re in a love triangle with Local Idiot Man Who Can’t Count To Fifty; we go downhill from there.

3) Assuming you decide to handwave that AND THAT IS A BIG IF the OTHER half is: cowboy wants to date girl. But she lives on a farm! And the Local Farm Hand is into girl and he’s Gross. We know he’s Gross because it’s implied in the first scene that he purchases pornography and is probably a masturbator, and that is going to set us up for the scene in the finale where he tries to kill everyone THIS IS A REAL MOVIE I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS A REAL MOVIE.

4) But also as the setup to this romantic conflict, the cowboy sits down with the farmhand and sings a duet that’s basically: hey jackass you should kill yourself for being Gross. WHY IS THIS -

ON THE POSTER THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE SMILING IN A FIELD. THIS IS A FAMOUS MUSICAL.

ANYWAY THEN LATER VARIOUS THINGS HAPPEN AND WE SING A LOT OF SONGS THAT ARE PRETTY FUCKING FRAUGHT, ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD ALL GET ALONG BUT IF WE CAIN’T GET ALONG WE SHOULD SHOOT EACH OTHER

AND THEN THE COWBOY MURDERS THE FARMHAND

HALF AN HOUR AFTER HIS WEDDING TO THE GIRL

AND THEN THEY GO ON THEIR HONEYMOON

AND SING A SONG

ABOUT HOW OKLAHOMA IS A STATE NOW AND THEY’RE SO GLAD TO BE PART OF

AMERICA NOW?

AND NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE MURDER BECAUSE THAT GUY WAS A GROSS PORNOGRAPHY PURCHASER WHO DIDN’T FIT IN WITH OUR COMMUNITY

Anyway it’s so fucked up you guys it’s so fucked up IT’S NOT EVEN ONE OF THE MOVIES ON DISNEY+ WITH CONTENT WARNINGS ABOUT HISTORICAL CONTENT THAT NO LONGER REFLECTS SOCIETY’S VALUES.

#to clarify this is not a callout post #this movie was made in 1955 we don't have to cancel it #i am mostly just flabbergasted #like i know who this musical is for but also who is it for #you know? #it's like trying to parse the worldbuilding of the descendants dcom cinematic universe but it's real #oklahoma: the musical: the fuck #and i know this is also like #look i watched the 1988 version of annie probably a thousand times as a kid bc my little brother really liked it #and i went back to it as an adult and it is eye wateringly problematic #in ways that 8 year old me just did not understand #and i'm sure it's the same for this #but STILL

[welcometogrouchland]

Bee and puppycat lazy in space I love you so so much it's not even funny

#ramblings of a lunatic #decided to rewatch it again bc the toh finale has had me in a tizzy and while I'm getting better #it's definitely been hard just floating about in fandom space knowing that the show is ending and that in the scenario we do get more of it #in another form ofc #it won't be for a long time yknow? #it's saddening and back in September when i was uh. Very Sad bapc was really there for me #i was out here ardently defending the netflix series' writing bc i genuinely thought it was really good #and i still do #but more than that this show is intensely comforting in a way i can't really place/describe #it's a magical girl show. it's a workplace comedy. 99% of the cast is 25 years or older. its a coming of age story. #it's has pastel and lo-fi art direction. it's cosmic horror. the main character is so caring and yet so selfish and also autistic #and a robot #all of her romantic relationships are intensely weird and frankly are her least interesting dynamics #her most interesting dynamics are with her roomate/pet who's actually a space pirate cursed to look like a marketable plushy #and with her 8 year old landlord who's mom was childhood best friends with her dad making them family in a sense #except they're not really. also they're foils (she's an immature adult he's a kid who tries to be more responsible than he is) #it's filled with intense melancholy and multiple characters suffer from un-talked about depression #it is one of the cutest and brightest shows i have ever seen (in a non-obnoxious or technicolor way) and has an intense air of whimsy #it kinda has a fandom but not a big one despite having an undeniable impact in online animation culture and a bit on online culture overall #I'm not captivated by it in a fandom-y sense but i am obsessed with it. it's like wuthering heights to me #i love this show

listen sometimes you give in to the mental illness and let yourself consider the complex relationship cinder lunarchronicles has with her body & reproductive capacity and just. yeah that occupies my thoughts when i'm trying to sleep.

#ev speaks #literally i am fucking insane about this like i am so abnormal #yeah i know its fairytale logic to some extent but like. marissa how in the damn are you just gonna lore-drop that she has 2 kids #she has two entire artificial chambers in her heart for fucks sake she has a computer in her brain that surgery was invasive as FUCK ma'am #four of her ribs are artificial some of her fucking vertebrae (her spine!!!!) are cybernetic that is SO MUCH ESSENTIAL STUFF Y'ALL #and i'm not saying she can't ok!! i believe in cinder i love & support her but holy DAMN her body has been through some fuckshit #like. burned alive at 3 years old spent the next 8 years in a medical coma recovery tank intensive cybernetic surgery at 11 etc etc #not to mention she got stabbed in the fucking heart (one of the artificial chambers) and that time she almost drowned and and #yeah suffice to say the list of 'reasons it might be safer to not carry a pregnancy' is long as hell in this situation #anywah sorry for the fucking text dump i'm extra mentally ill today

My roommates are watching Lego Monkie Kid in the living room with me and I really get why this show is popular with the ADHD crowd

#spiced #lego monkie kid #adhd/autism might be more all encompassing but i have Just austism and i'm not into it so i'm choosing to leave it out for this case #i tried the first episode to be fair #the moment where he strikes the bull king so hard it shifts shit in the solar system but the bull king is just like ough that hurt a little #that's where i checked out #it's a show ideal for a demographic far too young for me to enjoy properly though i do appreciate its character design #sorry i know it's for like 8 year olds so they can't like bleed and all #but a strike that massive just had too little payoff i can't let it go with the ease it requires #anyway i still think red son and macaque are cool i tune in a little for their involvement

[yardsards]

periodically seized by the desire to Be A Dad despite barely being able to take care of myself and my cat and also being exhausted by the company of adult humans who don't need the attention that children do

#eliot posts #no adoption agencies would approve me at this stage in my life (for good reason!) anyway lmao #and you KNOW i am not havin any fuckin bio kids #no pregnancy and also you can just like. get an 8 year old. bypass the baby and toddler years #i want a child that is sticky and/or crying only SOME OF the time. babies and toddlers are sticky and/or crying way too often for me. #funnily enough i'm not even actually certain if i want kids when i'm older and presumably more stable #that's something for me to figure out once i get to that age/level of stability

there are some dudebro fanboys on twitter whining about the kenobi series and how "this period of time didn't need to be told" and well if it did what they're doing is "really dull." as in, it's focused on leia and they're upset about it. i hope she eats them.

#obi wan kenobi #kenobi spoilers #kenobi series #look i don't know what the rest of the show is gonna be about other than emo obi wan and anakin and girlboss leia #but like #AT THIS POINT? GIVE ME ALL OF LEIA I DON'T CARE. LUKE IS AN IDIOT AND WE LOVE THAT IDIOT BUT LEIA IS LEIA FOR A REASON. #anyway #i hate dudebro fans i hope they choke #also i was watching the gallery thing for the mandalorian yesterday and they were talking about how lucas had always wanted it to be #something kids could watch #and not like a silly kid's show or whatever but something they could watch and get inspired by #i'm paraphrasing this terribly #but watching kenobi it really hit me that if i were 8 years old watching 10 year old leia steel chair obi wan in the groin #and eviscerate her asshole cousin #THEN YEAH I WOULD BE LIKE FUCK YEAH #I AM 34 AND I'M LIKE FUCK YEAH I WANNA BE LEIA #so these dudebros can just evaporate already

The amount of self-inserts 13 year-old me made that are just an 8 year-old plagued with a chronic illness and constant pain is concerning.

#I'm going back through some old stuff and like. My god me. #We were dealing with some shit in some ways huh #The first one I can find record of that follows this trend was my Hetalia S/I who did infact canonically die in 2018 #So jot that down #Then my original Mushi Shi S/I who was actually kind of interesting in a. Kids have really terrifying imaginations way. #The SI had died and was currently living in the Mushi world space watching over their younger brother's family as they aged #And then eventually just tagged along with Ginko like my current SI does #I know I had one for Soul Eater as well but I for the life of my cannot find reference of it #I had one for Fairy Tail that was the most basic of the one's I can find #S Class Fairy Tail Guild member super powerful magic had a lot of backlash was injured a LOT #I never played a Legend of Zelda game but I really liked the design of Toon Ganon so I do infact have an SI for Windwaker #that was just Ganon's sickly child #I THINK I had one for Sukioden I can't find mention of I'll have to replay the game and see if that comes back to me #Ruby Gloom hits all the marks; 8 years old and fucking dying #I get the sickly and in pain all the time part you had a lot to deal with little me and just felt like putting in on an SI I get that #but what the hell was with being 8 years old #What happened to me when I was 8? #8 years old is.... second grade? Third? #Eh........ yeah alright my summer between 2nd and 3rd was super fucked so that fits I think #Maybe #Self Inserting is fun I think. #Little me had problems and boy howdy did she know how to work with them creatively some of these kinda slap #Might re-work a few and slap them all in one post sometime soon we'll see how I'm feeling the next few days

Anxiety on this camping trip is really getting to me. Idk man. But sleeping is not happening tonight.

#if you dont know im a girl scout leader #and this weekend my troop is participating in a community wide camping trip #and my troop is so big that we're split into 2 small cabins #which means im in charge of 5 7-8 year olds all on my own #they're my responsibility and my coleader is doing the same thing a couple yards away #something about being the sole person responsible for these 5 kids like at night if something were to happen is..... a lot for me right now #not to mention for like an hour there was either a fox or a fischer cat running around camp SCREAMING #It sounded like someone was straight up getting murdered tbh #and it scared me from being half awake and i was scared it was going to scare my kids but thank god they were asleep #i could literally hear it getting louder and fainter as it moved around camp but it was so loud no matter where it was #i was mostly scared because i couldnt identify it and one of those aforementioned animals is way more dangerous than the other #and also like im sleeping by the door of this little cabin in the woods because i am responsible for these 5 kids!!! #im unfamiliar with this camp and I'm alone and it's freezing and weird animals are outside so i guess i scream into the void! #dont mind me
