So um. Anybody want to explain to me why the White Witch's name is Jadis when there's a perfectly good Green Witch elsewhere in the series? Or am I gonna have to go talk to Jack myself?

#and she's in The Silver Chair a book he wrote BEFORE The Magician's Nephew #something something Turkish something something Babylon #cmon jack the word Jade is right there in the name #and yeah yeah he drops the name jadis in the mr tumnus arrest letter but he also def could've changed that in later editions if so inclined #this post is a joke :)#pontifications and creations #narnia

I was researching something unrelated and stumbled over the art of Kobayashi Kaichi. As you can see, I was unable to walk away from that . This is a redraw of his Blue Birds series minus the last picture (which was pretty too, but did not fit in my idea). I think there are no more blue birds in here, I yeeted the colour scheme out the window. But this was all I could think of, when I saw the series.

#tokyo babylon #tbx #Tokyo Babylon #subaru sumeragi #seishiro sakurazuka #hokuto sumeragi #seisub #my fanart #also kobayashi kaichi #if i had a nickel for every time i copied a japanese dudes art style i'd have... a lot of nickels probably. i do that all the time #ngl i'm kinda happy with how they came out #drawing with a limited colour palette was HARD #maybe i'll do a comparison post with the original art tomorrow #now i shall sleep

sometimes Babylon 5 episodes are great because there are two equally low stakes subplots, e.g. Ivanova’s rabbi helps her process her feelings around the death of her father while a character we’ve never met before desegregates an alien fight club that won’t let humans fight. and sometimes Babylon 5 is great because the main plot is that a corrupt military officer is trying to use a telepathic tribunal to take over the station, and the B plot is that Lennier is building a motorcycle because he is bored.

people getting upset that dune might not have a happy ending or that paul maybe isn't a Good Guy and a Hero to be emulated is funny because it does not and he is not but tbh the humor is always eclipsed by frustration and disappointment whenever i see these kinds of takes.

like. what happened? was the fumbled game of thrones ending so shit that we'll only enjoy stories where the clearly defined good triumphs over the clearly defined evil? are we reading too many fix-it fics where castiel and dean get to live happily ever after? have we just grown too accustomed to being spoon-fed simple, formulaic stories?

a well crafted tragic narrative is so much more satisfying than a forced happy ending. you can wish a character's story ended with them surviving, embracing a loved one, smiling, sun shining, having learned the error of their ways. but they didn't. they couldn't. that's why it's a tragedy.

your takeaway from a piece of media isn't always going to be pleasant.

a story doesn't need to end happily. and sometimes, a happy ending would ruin a narrative. please i am begging you. it's going to be okay. but not for paul. not for anyone in dune tbh. but for us, it's going to be okay.

#paul atreides most canceled man on arrakis #dune #tragedy enjoyers rise up #this is not a post about babylon 5 but #are we not all watching 1993 television series babylon 5?

Oi mate, I heard in the street you are a good tracker. Don't you?

I need a work, for me, you know?

My friend Ea Nasir has a debt. I need you to find him so I can talk to him. Can you do it?

oh this fuckin' guy. dammit i got a score to settle with that dick too...

filled with rage at hearin' this guy's name again, i stormed out of my office before my client even had the chance to get up and leave. i briskly walked through the dense streets of Tumblr City. i kept bumpin' into people, but i didn't care. i had tunnel vision and i was seein' red. i burst into the Search Bar, swingin' those doors open with a resounding slam as they hit the adjacent walls. everyone in the bar became silent. i stormed over to the booth where Don Google was sittin'.

"Well, well! If it ain't the Hellsite Detective! What can I do ya for?"

cut the crap, Don. i'm lookin' for a fella by the name of Ea-nasir. you know where i can find him?

the Don chuckled their normal smug laugh, and i wanted nothin' more than to sucker punch that cocky grin off their face. but i restrained myself. don't bite the hand that feeds you, and all.

"Sounds like this fella did you wrong, eh?"

me and many others...

"Alright then, here you are. Go give 'em hell."

they handed me a photograph showin' Ea-nasir at a few different addresses around town. without so much as another word, i left the bar and raced down to the last address depicted, prayin' that he was still there. breakin' the door down, i started searchin' for him, callin' out by name. and there he was, sittin' in his own little corner like the smug bastard he was. i grabbed him by the collar and took him back to my office...

here you are! talk some sense into him, wouldja? and give him a couple of smacks from me too. have a great day!

Post Case: Closed

The Babylon Bee School of Comedy

Have you ever wanted to make Elon Musk reply to you with a double cry laughing emoji?

If you crave that sweet billionaire validation you need only follow this carefully crafted conservative comedy content creation course for that powerhouse of online satire... The Babylon Bee.

Soon you too could be bootlicking billionaire balls with the rest of The BBee writers.

Are you ready to get your learn on?

Let us Bee-gin.

The number one most important rule that all The BBee writers must internalize to their core...

Conservative comedy abhors effort.

Brainstorming for hours on end to craft the perfect premise and punchline... is for the Libs. Check out this Facebook meme that got 10,000 likes.

Can you order Starbucks from a bar? Doesn't matter, it's a snowflake drink for a snowflake Lib.

Does this joke not have an actual punchline? Doesn't matter, get lost you stupid Lib!

Is this technically a joke by definition? Doesn't matter, if you believe it is a joke, then it's a joke! Just like modern currency.

If you put too much thought into a joke, it might grow in complexity. That could be confusing! The death knell of any conservative joke are the words, "Hmm, that's a thinker."

This brings us to rule number two...

NO THINKERS!

Let's take this Ben Garrison comic as an example.

Spell everything out! Label everything! Don't leave anything to the imagination! If your audience has to figure something out or draw their own conclusions, what fun is that?

Conservatives want to hear things that are familiar. They want their beliefs parroted back at them. You must regurgitate those beliefs and then just make it *sound* like a joke. Don't break new ground or introduce new ideas. Don't get all caught up in interesting wordplay or clever puns or subverting expectations.

All expectations should be fully verted.

That is definitely a word because I saw someone use it on Facebook. End of research.

Here is a helpful tip. If you can't imagine the joke coming out of the mouth of late night comedy genius GUTFELD!, then you need to dial it back a bit. Do not surpass GUTFELD! levels of humor. GUTFELD! is your touchstone.

youtube

Oh, GUTFELD! I laughed so hard I FELD it in my GUT.

See, I went too far with my fancy pun. That is not the GUTFELD! way.

But what happens if inspiration is fleeting and you can't pay attention to your comedy writing task because you don't believe ADHD is real and thus you are unmedicated?

Don't you worry. If you do happen to get writer's block or are distracted by a funny Pepe meme or a shiny object, just call your racist uncle and say the magic word... "Bidenflation."

As the ensuing unhinged rant darts from subject to subject without any kind of connecting theme, just start writing down every right wing buzzword you hear. Then just insert those buzzwords Mad Libs-style into a derivative joke format.

Let's practice!

Ex. 1: Why did the PRONOUNS cross the BORDER? To get to the DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR!

Ex. 2: How many GENDERS does it take to GROOM a lightbulb? Two! One to hold the BUTT PLUG and one to GO WOKE, GO BROKE.

Great start! I'm sure with a polishing pass those will make more sense. Or not. The bar is pretty much "will it get clicks?" so we're not too worried about coherence.

Heh... Mad Libs.

U MAD, LIBS?

Get it? Cuz Libs are always mad? About the normalized bigotry and whatnot.

Jokes are always better when you need to explain them.

Oh! That's another rule. Write that down. Wisdom like this is why I am teaching this course, of course. Hah, that's like that horse show song. I got jokes coming out the wazoo. Wazoo is my butt, right? Siri, is wazoo a butt? Oof, I'm kinda spacing on what the next lesson is.

I really wish Matt Walsh hadn't flushed my Adderall down the crapper.

Can I get a second opinion? Top Gun was so good. What does Tom Cruise think about ADHD? He always has good takes on stuff like this. Did I leave my oven on? Shazam, what song goes doodoo doo doo doooooo? Can you vacuum a yard? Has anyone tried that? That sounds more like a marijuana thought than an ADHD tangent. I should double check the THC content of that cotton candy vape juice.

I'm flyin' off the rails over here.

Matt, are you super duper sure it's not real?

Okay, fine. I'm an "energetic boy."

I hope whichever fish absorbs my meds is extra focused on whatever fish shit he needs to get done.

COMEDY WRITING!

Sometimes it is best to learn through observation. Let's eavesdrop on an actual The BBee writer's room to see how the sausage is made...

"So what did your racist uncle have to say?"

"Well, first he texted me a cameraphone picture of Trump as an astronaut that he wants me to print out cuz he doesn't know what a crypto wallet is... but then he said all the woke schools are turning kids into a bunch of gay commies."

"EUREKA!"

Classic! The BBee writers strike again. I mean, they aren't striking. There is no commie clamoring for a union at The Babylon Bee. That's for damn sure. FOCUS!

Do you get the joke though? With the kids and the gay and the communism?

Because all of those woke schools totally cover complex economic theories in 4th grade and all it takes to turn gay is a little persuasion from a teacher with green hair. Libs of TikTok wouldn't lie about that. End of research.

Look at this public school teacher!

I mean, you knooow she has a litter box in her classroom. I can just sense it. End of research.

Sure... it is just a context-free picture of a person with green hair in front of a flag and you cannot actually judge the quality of their teaching ability from this. But yoouuu knoooooow she is skipping right over grammar lessons and giving detailed instructions on how to turn gay.

Step 1: Look at a bunch of butts. Step 2: Touch a bunch of butts. Step 3: Gay sex a bunch of butts.

(Replace butts with cooches for lesbians.)

Grooming accomplished.

And you definitely shouldn't look up that green-hair'd, nose ring'd educator and research her any further. Extensive research is for the Libs, bro. Because you definitely don't want to discover she is a passionate high school English teacher who makes fun content on TikTok in the hopes that people will buy things off her wishlist so her students will have a better learning experience. I mean, caring about her students? That's so gay.

YoooOOOuuuUUU knnnooooooOOOw she is a bad teacher because she has green hair and a flag. End. Of. Research.

So... you have your gay communist headline that is perfect to get all of those sweet conservative clicks. But you still have a full webpage to fill out with more words and stuff.

Now I want to see if you learned anything from my perfectly focused and informative teachings. I want you to write some jokes about kids becoming gay communists.

Ready? GO!

Joke #1 Little Billy has wealthy parents so all the students will share his cookie at snack time.

Joke #2 At the beginning of the day, students pick a new gender out of a hat but all the kids fight over Attack Helicopter.

Joke #3 At lunch, the students have to stand in a peanut butter and jelly bread line.

Joke #4 The teacher makes the kids take turns combing each others' hair for a grooming session.

Wait a sec... are those... THINKERS?

No no no no no! You made my brain all confused and thinky!

You need to calm down, you overachieving silly billy. You forgot the first rule... NO EFFORT.

Just make the same joke over and over again with slightly different wording. EASY!

Remember the classic final rule of comedy...

Jokes always get funnier the more you repeat them.

Anyway, that's probably enough... joke.

Now let's close this article out!

Maybe we can drop the pretense this is comedic satire and just do some hardcore pandering. Gotta own the Libs, amirite?

Gender theory and drag queens and guns, oh my! That is pure pander-monium.

Just shove those factless tactless Tucker talking points straight down their gullet. They'll forget this was supposed to be funny and shake their fist in the air with exaltation. And it's definitely a great idea to put the thought of gunning down drag queens in their heads. That won't backfire in any way!

Congratulations! You are now ready to "write" for The Babylon Bee.

Please purchase this official Trump NFT certificate for $99 that acknowledges that you have completed this course and have a very poor understanding of what satire actually is.
