[onesaltysir]

I need to settle this with myself, I can't decide if it's a good movie or not. Debate material under cut.

Eva Gabor slays as Miss Bianca (my queen) both times so that's an automatic yes from me. The story itself was also not bad.

On the other hand the animation threw me off because I've always been so loyal to the original 1977 The Rescuers. Milt Kahl's animation is such a big deal to me, that was the best era of Disney and I will not be hearing other opinions because they are wrong.

The egg scene with Johanna and Mcleach in the kitchen? Made me smile during my surgery recovery. Animated movies rarely make me smile. That scene was peak cinematic gold.

The absolute deciding factor is if Jake is sexy or not. Now for the record I am 100% team Bernard. Thicc mouse man with a dumpy and a big heart? Yes maam. (He also has a slight stutter. As a stutterer myself, child me instantly fell in love when my father had me watch the original for the first time.) But there's just something about Jake's charm. That Indiana Jones ass kangaroo rat could punt me into the sun and I can’t tell if I would thank him or dropkick that Crocodile Dundee motherfucker.

Miss Bianca, however, has been and always will be my favourite. Everyone has a crush on her everywhere she goes and she looks so put together but I promise you she is so fucking autistic and probably does Jello shots with whoever wishes to humour her. Just watch the original, and then this is emphasized in Down Under. Fucking icon. God is a white mouse from Hungary with a purple hat.

That being said, let's turn back to the animation. What are these CGI scenes doing in here? Now mind you, overall I *am* impressed with the CGI. This movie came out in 1990 and they combined 2D animation with so many near flawless CGI shots. But why though? The combination was awesome, it slayed, it served. But there was just something about it that seemed so corny to me and I can’t place my finger on it.

And what are these size proportions? Cody is six years old acording to the Disney Wiki. If you are familiar with six year olds, then you know those things aren't exactly tiny. Why is he able to ride on that eagle? Golden eagles are real birds however they are smaller than bald eagles. Bald eagles are large birds but they are not that large. In fact the largest eagle as of right now is the giant Philippine eagle, which is only a meter tall. A six year old can’t ride that. Not only did Marahute fly hundreds of metres in the air supporting an entire six year old and then some, but she was also large enough for this kid to pitch a medium sized tent on. What the hell. Fake ass bird.

Another problem I have is that it takes place in Australia. So why in the absolute FUCK does Cody sound like he's from Nebraska USA? Riddle me fucking that. Mcleach is understandable because he's a poacher, probably dropped in from the US. In fact he sounds like he's from Tennessee so you know his ass did. But come on. Cody? He's a six year old born and raised in Australia. The only characters with Australian accents were two kangaroos, a koala, and Cody's mother. His mother is a stretch though, Edinburgh sounding ass bitch.

Also what six year old owns a large pocket knife? Cody if you don't put that shit down and go work on your colouring book. I swear to god.

What redeems it for me is Bianca and Bernard. Jake really thought he could pull Bianca from the perfect man. Bernard respects Bianca with everything he has, he continually gave her everything he could. Bernard loved her, and Bianca loved him back. Jake tried to shit on her man and Bianca said 'I think the fuck not.'

And yes. I know Bernard is some Hobbit ass motherfucker. He didn’t wanna go on the trip to save Penny in the original, he hates flying, he hates adventure, but Bianca taught him to love that and it was beautiful. He tried it for her and found out that he did love it after all. Bianca brought out his courage, and Bernard brought out her heart. They're the best Disney duo. Fuck you.

I got distracted. The question I want to answer is, is The Rescuers Down Under a great movie or is it a horrible movie? It's not just good or bad. You either love it or you hate it, and I can't decide.

Miss Bianca supremacy for life.

#What I really want is a third movie. #Bianca and Bernard did get engaged at the end of Down Under but I HAVE to see their wedding #I know Bianca wanted some crazy shit and Bernard just went along with it #Bianca and Bernard are my current hyperfixation can you tell

[real-sun-wukong-fan01]

Hi there! I hope your week is alright to you. Say, in your Time Swap AU, what happens in s4 and its special? Why and how would the Camel Ridge Trio mess with MK and his tudi, or do you already have that answer in another post? Does Azure still die in that AU?

I can't help but snort at imagining that if the JTTW fam of this AU see Canon Macaque anywhere near their Wukong without knowing any better, that shadow monkey is gonna get dropkicked by four demon kids and piled under them, ala Red Son in s1 special.

How does SWK feel about his monkey form after being confronted by his Ink self in the scroll? Does he confront MK about it? Does he get called the Harbinger of Chaos?

How does the meeting between the monk, the demon kids and their past lives in the scroll go?

How would the canon cast of Monkie Crew consisting of Mei, Sandy, Tang, and Pigsy react to meeting with their counterparts of the JTTW fam of Time Swap AU, specifically just them, excluding the monkey related dudes. What would they talk about? Would they gripe about their respective SWK to each other?

What is Erlang's role in Time Swap AU?

Have a great month! Treat yourself to something nice once in a while!

I actually haven't been working on S4 much, but that's probably because I'm in other three fandoms at the moment and I have other aus there too, or maybe didn't have motivation, but I'll answer anyway!

Though not everything I say here might stay as it is, so count it as a maybe.

- I was planning on changing who the trio is, but I can't figure out who. But I'm assuming it's going to be for revenge or some sort.

- yes azure will die here too, by the hands of sun wukong. (Or anyone who will replace azure.)

- he's not so happy, since he's literally given an identity crisis. He's been living thinking his biological family died in a fire, and that he was simply a human adopted by Tripitaka, but knowing that it was all a lie, and that he's a monkey now from a rock,,is not the best thing. Especially his ink self, he's not helping.

His name is now a lie too, since it's a foreshadowing that he's a monkey. As sun wukong literally means "monkey awakened by the emptiness.”"

- he'll be called that, even though I wanted him to be called something similar to the great sage equal to heaven.

- I don't think he can confront mk about it, since the guy didn't know either. (Not like ink wukong can blame mk or call him a monster, since mk from the start was NEVER threat or dangerous like wukong is in the original story during jttw, or before.)

- we get to see tang, pigsy, sandy and mei! Luckily mk won't be there, or he would have cried.

But it remains pretty similar to the original, just role reversed.

- tang would go crazy seeing them, but would also need to be reminded a LOT that they aren't the actual gang, but a different version of them (meaning they didn't went on the journey), Tripitaka would be kinda weirded out, but would also be curious about the journey tang keeps talking about.

Pigsy and bajie..like a dad disciplining their kid.

Sandy and Sha wujing would just vibe with the cats!

Mei and ao lie would want to know about their ancestors, and about each other.

they would ask about wukong yes, but mainly from the swap au.

- Erlang takes nezha's place!

Thank you!!

The one who told you that they admired you for your place in the Twelve Kizuki and wished to be as strong as you was me. I don’t believe we’ve met, as I’m not among the Upper Ranks yet, but when I get there I would be most honored to challenge someone like you.

Also, I ran into a very angry tattooed red-haired man on my way here. He told me to tell you he wants to “dropkick you into the sun”, whatever that means.

-Lower Rank One

Oh! The tattooed guy was probably Lord Akaza. Don't mind him. He's just a little touchy about the fact that I'm ranked higher than him even though he has been a demon longer than I have.

And yeah! Of course you can challenge me some day! It would be so adorable to watch you try to beat me hahah.

Ya little scamp 🥰🥰🥰

third time posting (I'm totally very creative)

Spiderman villain rant edition, numero uno

Tombstone, a very scary mother fucker. A tall ass gang leader, sometimes drug lord, with impenetrable skin and teeth like a fucking shark, a very terrifying but awesome son of a bitch. In spiderman PS4, done absolutely masterfully... in into the spiderverse, he kinda, sucks.

in PS4, he is a tough bastard who spidey needs to make a counter drug to temporarily make his invincibility stop working so he can just subdue Tombstone long enough for police to arrive, and he tanks a bullet pointblank between his eyes, and then proceeds to casually stomp the skull of the guy who just shot him open. also, because I'm probably never going to get to mention this again, apparently not only is tombstone an amazing cook in the insomniac universe, but spidey knows this somehow, and my head canon is that before one of their fights, tombstone just decided to make food for spidey for whatever reason, and that is just hilarious to me. anyway, back to rant, in into the spiderverse, tombstone is just kingpin's henchman, who just shoots people a lot. that's it. he doesn't really do anything interesting, and it's dissapointing. I honestly didn't even really realize it was tombstone the first time I watched the movie.

It's always a bit dissapointing to see a villain or character in a movie and then like, kinda, dumbing them down? is that a good way to put it? like, making a character a basic goon rather than an actual character. like, a great example to me is Blitzwing in the Bumblebee movie. In the movie, he was just a common Decepticon seeker who was hunting Bee and gets killed immediately, they could have given him any name other than Blitzwing in the credits, there are so many other seekers they could have named him because he wasn't even named out loud in the movie. In every other iteration of transformers, Blitzwing is a triple changing sadistic badass bastard, sometimes with like cybertronian Dissociative Identity Disorder like in Transformers Animated. But he was delegated to just "Seeker number 13 that actually goes to earth to chase Autobots who escaped Cybertron" in the movie. and it just sucks to me. I'm hoping, I'm desperately hoping that Blitzwing is gonna come back in the new movies with his triple changing ability, and maybe with the split personality thing of the animated version of Blitzwing by somehow a human government using the bodies of Blitzwing, Shatter, and Dropkick for experiments or something.

oh shit, this was supposed to be about spiderman villains, lol. uhm, but yeah, seeing a cool character or villain be used as just fodder or a goon is kinda boring to me, and I hope it stops happening as much for movies and stuff, cause I like my cool characters, I want them to continue being cool!

also, in other news, apparantly the new flash movie sucks dick, and I'm not surprised, in fact I'm glad it's failing, and hopefully they'll finally catch Ezra Miller and put... them(? is that the pronoun they're hiding behind now? not that they deserve the respect of being called whatever they prefer, they lost that respect the moment they groomed several children into being drug addicts, and then ran from police the moment everyone found out about it) in jail.

anyway, that's it for today, make sure to drink some water, get some sun, and eat well everybody!

[anomalystudy]

genuinely need to know why gary would dislike sox . totally not for personal information or anything no no

Gary in the show canonically hates KVN. Think... Olaf(yes, as in from Frozen), I guess, but with a variant of Sox's job? There's probably a better explanation but it's the best I got right now. Anyway. Gary literally decided he hated KVN the instant he met him. KVN introduced himself as a friend(specifically a "Deep Space Insanity Avoidance Companion") who was meant to make sure Gary didn't go crazy during his 5 year isolation period. Gary immediately said "I think I hate you" and ever since has abused that robot in more ways than one. If KVN could die Gary would be living the dream. KVN also failed at his job. Gary has a fridge for a love interest - which also means he canonically talks to objects as if they're people. Maybe even more than talk. I don't want to think about that. Moving on! Now, I haven't seen the film Sox is from yet, but the job alone I imagine would be enough for Gary to go "oh, you're a KVN" and have a ridiculous sheer amount of hatred for. Gary would dropkick Sox to the sun in a heartbeat. Please don't tell him there's more Sox units, he will also develop a hatred for the creator. edit: also yes this means gary might hate olaf too because i do think kvn and him are similar enough. so gary might also try to dropkick olaf into the sun.

Some Vanderwood headcanons

Part of a Vanderwood content contest with @antiochean !

Their real name is Marion. It's a male variant of Mary

Seven calls them Mary as a nickname.

Vanderwood is British. They haven't been back to their homeland in a long time, though.

Is a neat freak due to their trauma of growing up surrounded by filth.

Following Seven's route and afterstory, ends up moving into the bunker with the twins and MC.

Works as one of Jumin's bodyguards and occasional nightguard at the office

They're nonbinary. They go by he/him and they/them.

They love detective stories. Their first edition Herlock Shlomes books are their prized possession

Random Vanderwood headcanons I came up with

Vanderwood is nonbinary, and goes by "they/them" and "he/him"

Prefers they/them

Is from Great Britain. They refuse to say where exactly.

Their full name is Marion Vanderwood. After Saeyoung makes them a new identity, it becomes Marion Stark Vanderwood.

Knits and crochets in their spare time.

Will never admit it, but more or less adopted Saeyoung (and later, Saeran) as his brother.

When flustered/upset, their cockney accent slips out

While they threaten Saeyoung a lot, would never hit him. Taze? Sure, but physically beat him when he didn't get work done? Hell no.

Grows their hair out as it's the first thing they ever had full control over

Gets a job at C&R as one of Jumin's bodyguards and the occasional night guard after the SE

Lives with the twins at the bunker

Eventually becomes an unofficial member of the RFA, providing security at events

Vanderwood and their relationships in the RFA

Part of a content contestwith @antiochean

Yooosung

They've joined the "Focus on school dammit" group

"This kid is still innocent and I'm not about to let Seven corrupt him"

Teaches him some recipes and tries to get him to eat better

Yoosung is trying to get him into LOLOL. They're intrigued by the tabletop version of it.

Zen

Bonds with him over motorcycles and theater

Is a secret theater nerd.

Helps him practice lines often.

They both share haircare tips with each other.

If they're dating MC, Zen is a bit less overprotective of MC, but instead of calling them a wolf, they're a "leopard"

Jumin

He's their boss

No really.

Vanderwood is a member of his security detail. They also occasionally work as the night guard at the office.

Jumin finally has someone else in the chat room who doesn't understand memes

And gets his protectiveness of Elizabeth the Third

They're still grateful for him rescuing them following the Secret Endings

Vanderwood isn't afraid to call him out sometimes, but not too harshly

He's still their boss

If Jumin and MC are together, they're one of the few people he trusts to leave MC with alone.

If MC ends up with Vandy, Jumin is more generous with time off and scheduling

Jaehee

Mom Squad™️

The two bond over their complaints over working for Jumin

Knows she could easily kill them. Is impressed.

Helps her towards her dream of opening a coffee shop

Seven/Saeyoung

I have a thought: We all know Unknown tries to kidnap MC is almost every route aside from Jaehee's (probably bc she could dropkick him into the sun if he tried). What if, instead of MC needing rescuing, it was instead a member of the RFA?

Mint Eye does hope to essentially absorb the members of the RFA into their own group, so either way their plans are progressing.

What would MC do? I'm assuming that Seven in every route aside from his own would be helping her find them, whether it be through their phones or Unknown willinglyletting the location slip in hopes of luring everyone there, but in his own route, would she have to rely on Vanderwood to hopefully find Magenta?

I just have so many questions.

THE FIVE SENSES

Hear:

How would you describe the sound of your muse’s voice? Outside of painting and being shirtless while doing so, Ryder has been told that people follow him on social media because of his voice, and how soothing it is. He has a bit of a Boston accent, but not enough that it’s obvious... unless you know what to look for. Pleasant, though. His voice is pleasant.

What sorts of music do they like to listen to? Anything and everything, he doesn’t really have one genre he listens to. He likes a lot of top 40 songs, some older ones, stuff that he heard in concerts he attended in odd ball clubs. He’ll give everything a try once.

If they had to pick three songs to listen to for the rest of their life, what would those three songs be? For sure I’m Shipping Up to Boston by Dropkick Murphys, probably Cringe by Matt Maeson and The Good Part by AJR. (Ryder believes you haven’t lived without seeing Dropkick.)

What’s their favorite sound? Stiff bristles moving across a blank canvas ready to be transformed.

Their least favorite sound? “Owen.”

Touch:

What’s one of your muse’s favorite textures? Paintbrush bristles; he actually loves cleaning brushes, could spend hours just running his hands over the bristles and watching everything come clean.

What does their skin feel like? Smooth? Rough? A mixture of both, to be honest. He spends a lot of time in the sun, but he also isn’t afraid to get a little pampering in every now and then, either. His hands are pretty rough from handling art supplies, not to mention how ragged they get from washing and drying them as frequently as he does.

Do they like maintaining a skincare routine? He doesn’t mind. Ryder wouldn’t say that he is obsessed with his appearance, by any stretch. But he knows that he’s attractive, and he wouldn’t mind staying that way as long as he has the power to.

Are there any textures that your muse doesn’t like? Why? No matter how much he loves paint, he hates when it gets on his hands and he can’t get it off, no matter how hard he tries.

How often do they clip their nails? Do they bite them? He has to keep his nails orderly to be able to do what he does. He doesn’t really bite them -- ever get a mouthful of acrylic paint?

Sight:

Is their vision good, or do they need glasses or contacts? Ryder’s vision is good, and he doesn’t need glasses or contacts.

Do they like to use their glasses or contacts if they need them? Even if he doesn’t need glasses, he thinks he looks good in them... and does wear them for aesthetic purposes.

What is your muse’s visual aesthetic? (eg: outfits, colors, etc.) A lover of fashion, he tends to wear a lot of high end brands with big names attached to them paired with things that he picks up in thrift stores or local shops. Gucci sneakers with jeans and a cotton t-shirt, or a Ralph Lauren polo with a pair of slacks that he thought matched pretty well at the thrift store in town. All sorts of colors and cuts, but he does lean towards blacks and neutrals and linens a lot, admittedly.

What normal looking objects appear ugly to your muse? It feels like it would go against everything in his body to call something ugly, given that he loves art and can find something beautiful in everything.

Are they good or bad at winking? Good, duh. But it almost always is accompanied by one of those cheesy, ridiculous grins.

Smell:

What does your muse smell like? Ryder smells like his environment, as weird as that might sound to say -- he smells like paint and cotton and chemicals when he’s been working in the garage, and like hops and yeast and beer when he’s at the Garden. If he’s at the gallery or just wants to smell like Ryder, he tends to lean towards pricy scents, things that smell like luxury and pompous blowhards. But nicer.

Favorite candle scent? L’objet Mamounia Candle No. 28.

What sorts of shampoo / body wash scents do they like? Again, something a little more on the pricey side, something that’s going to be good for him; he doesn’t really shop at Bath & Body Works, for example. He tends to lean towards amber, leather, some bergamont sometimes.

What’s their favorite smell? If he isn’t going to include anything art-related, he has two favorite scents: the smell that hits your nostrils as soon as you step out of the car in a beach town, and the kitchen on the days that he, Iris and Jayla do some cooking.

What’s their least favorite smell? ... burnt food.

Taste:

If your muse had a taste, how would you describe it? Salty, whether it be from years spent on different beaches, or the sweat that goes into the work that he does regularly.

Are they more of a sweet or salty person? He’s probably more of a sweets person than a salty person, but he likes food, period, no matter what it is, or what it tastes like.

What flavor lip balm do they usually use? Vanilla sugar, and he has one of those lip scrubs that helps take care of any ridiculous chapping, too. Have to have nice lips, after all.

Do they lick, or do they bite? Both. Depends on what it is that everyone’s referring to, after all. But for the most part, he likes to enjoy his treats.

What’s their favorite meal to make / eat? Honestly, the boy likes to eat, and has surrounded himself with people who like to cook, whether it be his housemate, Jayla, or his good friend, Bryan. He loves meals that people make that he’s never had before, so it would be hard to say that there’s one specific favorite meal that he has.

hi hi there, sorry for not responding much since im procrastinating on my project and being busy irl (read: lazy)

i just have this brainrot recently about fasting month (why is it in april ahhhhh)

imagine the confusion and panic the acolytes have when u woke up and make food at 4-5am, not eating NOR drinking throughout the rest of the day and suddenly its evening, u got ur phone out to see what time is breaking fast.

its even worse when they try to give you food when ur fasting and even if u explain why, chances are they’ll either brush it off or go to the extreme to not have you see them eating.

zhongli drinking tea/osmanthus wine? xiao dropkicks him when u step in the room. xiangling eating her food? bam, its gone, all in guobas stomach. (though u reassure them that they can just eat/drink)

but also a good chance u see them fast to experience what u were going through (and fail miserably, except for some, like raiden shogun prolly)

and another thing is that to not get thirsty, i kinda try not to speak as much but vcing with my friend somehow doesnt make me thirsty-

now imagine not speaking as much as usual and now u got the whole squad trying to get u to speak more-

(again, sorry for the sudden disappearance, ill explain why in the future, maybe in may or late april)

It's alright, byul! I get that you're probably busy these days.

About fasting, I don't know much about it, so please don't be afraid to correct me if I make any inaccurate assumptions!! This is a long one.

You would be waking up at the crack of dawn to quickly prepare yourself some food. None of the maids are awake to help you so you try to whip something up yourself.

Depending on which archon decide to have their stay at your place that day - it'll be most likely Zhongli, they don't have a need for sleep.

They'll be wandering around your abode and then find you standing in the kitchen, barely awake and still yawning, making some food for yourself.

The archons don't hesitate to step in which really did wake you up and surprise you. They insist you go back to sleep. For the more... uninformed archons about mortals, they'll let you stay awake.

The archons probably feel very relieved to see you feasting on a lot of food, it would mean that you enjoyed the food and can confirm that you have had the breakfast you needed to start the day.

In the middle of the day, when you look and feel less drowsy, the maids and butlers will do their daily routine of offering you your favorite drinks and snacks.

It does kind of sadden them when you decline their offer. They'll ponder your sudden loss of appetite and report to Zhongli or any other form of authority about this matter.

The servants begin bringing you a wide variety of snacks to check if your tastes have changed. They don't even know about the fact that you're fasting. Poor them, they're unaware of how they're making this worse.

Once you've gotten your fair share of worried looks and stares, at the end of the day, once the sun has finally made its descent, you begin to finally eat and drink.

The acolytes are terribly worried still. They do feel a bit more relaxed once they glance at you merrily munching down on the food prepared, but that doesn't mean that they won't pretend you didn't eat or drink for the whole afternoon!

Is it some kind of new diet? It's an EXTREMELY unhealthy one! Is the food not to your taste, but you don't want to admit it? Assumptions and guesses are being tossed around, yet no one has the courage to ask for the reason why.

The moment someone decides to finally muster up their courage to question you, you explain to them about your culture and faith.

Once they're assured that this will only last for a month, they try their best to support and even join you. Most of them are curious and want to know even more.

Many will hide drinks and snacks from you as a way of helping, they have a personal dining room and make sure that you're not around when they have lunch. The chefs try not to cook anything with a pungent smell as well!

I would assume that many acolytes would try and participate in fasting, but since they're not used to such a lifestyle, they'll unconsciously drink water then realize a few moments later, then fall into despair. It would be even worse if you were the ones who pointed it out.

You don't speak as much as usual since speaking too much causes one's throat to get dry, which would lead most to want to quench their thirst with water.

Seeing this change in behavior, they'll be two types of acolytes. One, the ones who love hearing you speak and feel terrible, they'll try to have a fruitful conversation with you the moment the sun comes down and even wishes for time to pass by faster.

Two, the ones who enjoy their time with you, no matter if you spoke or not. You don't have to speak to enjoy your time with them, they can enjoy the small peaceful moments with you and still have a coherent conversation with you, just nod or shake your head and they'll receive your answer!

the best shows r the ones that make creators want to create things imo i am SO FUCKING INVESTED IN THEYYYY

i'd ask if u have a favorite but i think i can guess lmao

i'm draw towards macaque personally but also i want to hold wukong gentol and then squish him

Shows are either:

so bad that the fanbase creates a ludicrous amount of content because of all the potholes and that's fun

So good there's nothing to possibly create cause it's just to good

so good that you are inspired to create things despite the fact that there's nothing you really want to change, you just love the characters so much you want to create things with them in it

and Monkie Kid for me is the third bGKAMEOWF

Wukong sparks joy on a whole other level for me but i don't actually have a favourite in the show. Like, when Red Son showed up in the trailer, I literally (literally) screamed. Mk appeared on screen in season 3 and i had to pause and talk about how beautiful he was for like, ten full minutesBHGSDBFWE. Macaque on screen i'm "IT'S THE STUPID MONKEYYYY" Wukong on screen? "ITS THE OTHER STUPID MONKEEYYYYY" Pigsy SMILES? SCREENSHOTTED SAVED, CHERISHED FOREVER. Sandy picks somebody up? I LOVE HIM, CAN I HOLD AND CHERISH HIM FOREVER? Tang, is STUPID? I LOVE HIM WHY IS HE LIKE THIS /POS BGSADFMN;OAMWEF Mei?? MEI??? WOW I'M, SHE IS EVERYTHING HOLY WOW

Wukong is definitely one i create content for more heavily because he's the one we have the most info on. We have a whole freaking novel JTTW about his lore and who he is, so I analyze everything and tie the book and the show together, making connections. that dude has been through EVERYTHING, so there's so much content to create for him to address all of that. The more the trauma the more you can write and Wukong is by far the most traumatized character in the show hands down, just going off of the sheer volume of what's been done to him in the past. (trauma is not a competition but 500 years under a mountain forced to watch the world go by when you can't even move but are awake the whole time is kinda a lot bGKAWOME) ANYWAY HE'S SUPER INTERESTING TO ANALYZE AND WRITE BECAUSE OF THIS AND I JUST WANT ALL THESE CHARACTERS TO BE HAPPY GBSDLKFMAW;EF

trust me I'm going to be insane when I'm able to watch the red son episode coming out tonight bG;LAMFOWE

ANYWAY UR VALID, MACAQUE IS A DISASTER AND SUPER FUN TO ANALYZE AS WELL. I'd probably create more stuff about him but I don't have enough to really get a read on who he is yet, so that makes it a bit of a struggle. Episode 4 DID help A LOT with that though, it explained so much about his behaviour and the way he acts around Mk. Mans unstable BGSDL;KFAWE So actually might be creating more stuff about him in the future. The way acts around Mk does make it a little rough for me to sympathize much with him though because he is really a jerk to him. Amazing character I want to dropkick him into the sun BGKSAMDFOAWEF /LH

[madcatdaderpydrawer-blog]

When I tell you I haven't been in this fandom or interested in getting back in for years- And this game came out and managed to dropkick me back into it in 3 days and give me two new comfort characters and a hyperfixation?? I've been drawing nothing but Sun and Moon for the past three weeks lol.

I also do love the concept of them being separate animatronics and use it more often than not- Though in my 'au/universe', whatever you wanna call it, they do stay in one body in the game, but post-game they get separated for security reasons since they both scared kids a lot and the whole lights on, lights off mess was a lot. Moon is still sensitive to light and Sun is still terrified of the dark, but hey, they can give each other physical hugs now at least! The internal dialogue and monitoring thing is cool and I love that concept- the internal chatlog was one I'd had before and feeling each other's emotions, but the whole diagnostic thing you have is a cool take on it! Codependency is also a given lol ^^

I'm curious if you think Sun and Moon (and generally all the animatronics) would have some form of ptsd or just be traumatized in general after all the events that happen? Especially in your au with everything Sun and Moon go through in any version- I know there are a lot of situations after that make them uncomfortable and stuff so I imagine the trauma is pretty much a given. There's plenty of angst or hurt/comfort left even post-game imo because everything that happened wouldn't just go away and relationships would probably be strained as you mentioned before

Hey, if Roxy is high tech enough to have self esteem issues they definitely have trauma. I mentioned it before, but I'll share a few cases I mentioned before.

Role reversal au: Moon is still unsettled by Suns laughter, and it takes a while for him to get over the massive insecurity spike infected Sun had thrown him into. He was so much more cautious around Sun after that, and didn't tell him as much and it took a while for Moon to start being comfortable talking to him about personal things again. It made Sun really distraught but he didn't push his brother, because he may of not meant to but he still did a lot of damage. He trusted Moon would talk to him when he was ready, knowing his brother well enough that he knew that pushing him to talk would only push him away more. He dealt with it by not initiating conversations with him, staying out of the chat box between the two of them and leaving sticky notes instead. Just small, nice things, or tiny drawings. Just to show he wasn't ignoring him, but was trying to give him space. He also just in general had to be more careful with what he said to and about his brother, because so many of the jokes the two had became a lot more offensive when he was infected... He just wanted his brother to not feel so uneased by his presence, and though he had trouble not talking to Moon as much as they used to, again he didn't want to fight it. Progress was slow with him, but any small sign was a very good reassurance that Sun was doing the right thing. After a couple of weeks they started talking again, and after around a month passed Moon teased Sun about something and he was insanely relieved. Which made Moon laugh. Of course then they had to actually TALK about it, but that's what stemmed the conversation.

Redemption au: Sun of course is going to take a while to recover from constantly being in fear about where his brother is, and what he might do if angered. Moon is normally very docile, so the level of anger that he showed while infected was hard to handle. He also didn't want to leave Moon alone with the kids, which definitely stung but he understood why; He scared a lot of kids while infected. He told Sun that it would be fine if he needed some time to adapt to things, and essentially said that it would be up to him how the daycare would be set up. Partly to not make his brother uncomfortable, and partly to show his brother that he wasn't going to do anything to him for it as he was admittedly very violent about Sun trying to enforce rules himself. Sun didn't add naptime back for a few weeks after that, and Moon was fine with it. He also asked Sun if he would like him to go somewhere else to shut down, since they do kind of share a room, but Sun declined that; One of the worst parts about Moon being infected was not knowing where the fuck he was. Staying mostly in their room, he chose to just organize their mass of clutter and steal some more shit during his patrol to add, like lamps and other shiny things as he knows Sun likes them but doesn't usually keep them in the room because of the way Moon reacts to light. Moon can handle a bit of light for his brother to have so that he doesn't have to shut off in complete darkness. Sun didn't show many signs of how he was feeling about the situation, which worried Moon since he's usually easy to read but he didn't pry. It sort of happened... suddenly. Gradually naptime was reinstated; Sun watched from the balcony at first, but eventually stopped doing that. There still was some tension but Moon was just happy he could talk to the kids again. And then suddenly one night Sun just.. tackled him mid clean up. And held on for several hours. Moon was very confused; Sun didn't know how to vocalize that he was comfortable around Moon, so he showed it instead. Moon still was very particular with Sun, like massively gentle, and Sun appreciated it. Though it took a LONG time for Moon to treat him like he's not glass.

The crazy twins au is the only one where they don't have that time of strained relationship between them, though Moon does feel really guilty because he shouldn't of brought Sun with him on the patrol and got him infected. But other then that the main strain was with everyone else.

so first im very glad that meiko hasnt really b e e n in these past 2 chapters bc i hate her and wanna drop kick her ass into the sun 🤭

secondly i also momentarily was ready to dropkick kuroo into the sun because of him immediately blaming y/n however him wanting to know what the hell was going on afterwards. plus the mindset meiko has manipulated him into is probably a 'everything is always y/n's fault' type mindset however i may be wrong.

third of all, i loved this chapter sm, thank you for keeping up fed bb 😽

Godzilla Singular Point: The Weird History of Jet Jaguar

https://ift.tt/3jvPBwC

The latest take on Toho’s iconic, building-crushing lizard comes in the form of Godzilla Singular Point, an anime series now available in dubbed form on Netflix. Taking place in the not-too-distant future, this reimagining of the King of Monsters involves a group of human characters becoming aware – through rather bizarre ways – of a coming apocalyptic event. Now the only thing that can save them is a behemoth out to punch monsters and look out for the little guy.

No, not Godzilla. He’s actually the apocalyptic event. No, our hero is none other than Jet Jaguar.

Yes, it’s finally time for Jet Jaguar to get his due.

A concept nearly 50 years old at this point, Jet Jaguar is one of those characters who was initially doomed to fail, but lives on due to nostalgia and the golden notion of, “I realize most people hated that thing from my childhood, but I bet I could make it good!” At best, he was a rad addition to the Godzilla mythos. At worst, he was a dumb idea from a dumb movie. For the most part, he’s remembered as something goofy that gets laughed at, despite having some genuine earnestness.

Jet Jaguar was created from both a fan contest and a corporate game of telephone. Back in 1972, to jump on the bandwagon of tokusatsu giant superhero/robot shows, Toho asked fans to design their own superhero design. The winner was a half-man/half-bird robot with a lengthy neck resembling a stack of rings named Red Alone. The concept was turned into a full-on rubber costume, but they changed the color scheme, which upset the young winner. They later decided to just scrap the whole thing, keep the color scheme, and make their own new design. And so, Jet Jaguar was born.

The superhero made an entire one movie appearance in 1973’s Godzilla vs. Megalon. As the urban legend goes, this was initially intended to be a standalone Jet Jaguar movie that the studio just didn’t have faith in towards the end and they hastily threw in Godzilla and recurring Godzilla villain Gigan. While the claim is dubious and unproven, it certainly is easy to understand where the allegations come from.

Everything about the movie feels rushed. As the last-minute replacement for another Godzilla film that didn’t pan out, filming took several weeks and production was a mere six months. Even the Godzilla costume was whipped up in record time. As for the story, outside of the intro, the preexisting elements (Godzilla and Gigan) aren’t thrown in until about 2/3 into the movie. Up until that point, it feels like a Jet Jaguar vs. Megalon movie with the production team hitting the panic button.

The plot of Godzilla vs. Megalon is that a scientist Goro Ibuki is working on a robot called Jet Jaguar, along with his little brother Rokuro and his best friend Hiroshi. They get wrapped up in a plot involving a group of beings from Atlantis-But-Not-Really, who are annoyed at all the nuclear bomb tests going on in their neck of the woods. They steal Jet Jaguar and use him to guide their insect god Megalon to different cities for the sake of smashing them up and punishing humanity.

Goro and friends get their hands on Jet Jaguar’s controls and use him to lead Godzilla to where Megalon is. Then the Seatopians call some alien friends for a solid and have them send in Gigan. Jet Jaguar is able to break away from all control and becomes fully sentient, as well as revealing the ability to turn into a giant. It becomes a big tag team battle, mostly remembered for Godzilla doing the silliest dropkick you’ve ever seen, followed by a second one for good measure.

The villains escape, Jet Jaguar and Godzilla shake hands, they go their separate ways, and Jet Jaguar reunites with the humans heroes after shrinking back down. He gets his own snazzy theme song to close things out.

In Japan, the movie wasn’t all that successful. As the thirteenth title in the Godzilla series, it brought in the worst returns yet. Between public burnout and the movie’s lack of quality, it just wasn’t grabbing people. That said, it came out at just the right time in the United States. Released in 1976, it came out months before the anticipated King Kong remake. The American movie poster for the movie even bit on the King Kong poster by featuring Godzilla and Megalon duking it out while each standing on a different Twin Tower, even though the movie at no point took place in the States.

A year later, the movie would be cut down into 48 minutes so they could broadcast it on NBC in prime time, across an hour with commercials. The only reason I mention this at all is because it was hosted by John Belushi wearing a Godzilla costume, which is sadly somewhere in the abyss of golden lost media.

Getting back to Jet Jaguar – the topic of this article – I feel the need to bring up Germany’s handling of the movie’s translation. Rather than call him “Jet Jaguar,” they referred to him as “King Kong.” I mean…sure, why not. Even weirder, when the next two movies introduced fellow giant robot MechaGodzilla, Germany once again referred to the robot as “King Kong.” Guys, I know what you’re going for here, but it doesn’t work that way.

Anyway, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla and Terror of MechaGodzilla followed Godzilla vs. Megalon and closed off the classic Showa Era of Godzilla movies. Not only did Japan need to rest Godzilla as a concept for nearly a decade, but this also meant that whenever Godzilla would come back, it was going to be some kind of reboot or new “only the first movie counts” installment. Jet Jaguar was never high on the list to be brought back, especially since MechaGodzilla completely overshadowed him.

He would at least get a little more exposure in 1991 when Godzilla vs. Megalon was featured in the second season of Mystery Science Theater 3000. While much of the episode is spent making fun of one of the Seatopians for looking like Oscar Wilde, they toss plenty of jokes at Jet Jaguar. Most memorably, they “translate” Jet Jaguar’s ending theme, which notes that his mother never loved him and he looks a lot like Jack Nicholson.

Due to rights issues, Godzilla vs. Megalon is one of the few MST3K episodes that is no longer legally available for viewing. This does make the original MST3K Collection Volume 10 box set (which included Godzilla vs. Megalon as one of the four movies) a collector’s item, as it was later discontinued and rereleased with The Giant Gila Monster taking its spot.

A stranger use of Jet Jaguar comes in the form of Certain Distant Suns’ music video for “Bitter” in 1995. While there’s not much of a narrative outside of the band playing, footage of Godzilla vs. Megalon being shown, and a few shots of guys walking around in Megalon and Jet Jaguar costumes, I really insist you give the video a look due to the ending. It certainly goes in a direction I wasn’t expecting.

In 1997, Jet Jaguar made his next official appearance in another frankly bizarre spectacle. In Japan, a series called Godzilla Island appeared on TV in three-minute increments. While it only lasted a year, there were a whopping 256 episodes, meaning almost 13 hours of footage. If you’ve never heard of Godzilla Island, you might be thinking, “Wow, almost 13 hours of Godzilla stuff? Why isn’t this more well known?”

Well, it probably has a lot to do with the fact that instead of using guys in rubber suits, the kaiju action was done with action figures. Yikes.

Not only did Jet Jaguar show up during these adventures, but they gave him the 90s superhero action figure treatment. Much like how they released as many figures of Batman as possible for different crime-fighting scenarios, Godzilla Island gave us Silver Jet Jaguar, Medical Jet Jaguar, and even Fireman Jet Jaguar. Collect them all!

Godzilla vs. Kong Writer Talks About Spending 8 Years in the MonsterVerse

Godzilla vs. Kong Director and Writer Talk Future of The MonsterVerse

By Don Kaye

In the early 2000s, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee was released for the GameCube and Xbox under the Atari brand. It was a fighting game featuring various characters from Godzilla lore and though Atari wanted to include Jet Jaguar, Toho refused. Still, at least Megalon was included in the game. There would be two sequels in the form of Godzilla: Save the Earth and Godzilla: Unleashed. FINALLY, Jet Jaguar was playable, because if there’s anything you can count on, it’s scraping the bottom of the barrel when you’re working on multiple installments of a nostalgic who’s who project.

He’d also return in 2014’s Godzilla game for PlayStation 3 and 4. The producer of the game didn’t even plan on putting him in there, but he saw that the programmers already were working on him and just shrugged it off. There was a special trick to summoning Jet Jaguar as a boss character. By ending up in three different Godzilla vs. Jet Jaguar scenarios and winning all three times, you would then unlock a special cutscene of the two shaking hands while a confused military woman would wonder about their history.

Around the mid-2010s, IDW Publishing was all about releasing a bunch of comics with the Godzilla license. Their mainline series was Godzilla: Rulers of the Earth, which went on for 25 issues. Early on, Jet Jaguar appeared out of nowhere during a fight between Godzilla and the team of Gigan and Orga. In human size, Jet Jaguar flew into Orga’s mouth, then expanded into giant size, causing the beast to explode. Especially awesome was that it came with the cliffhanger text, “Next: PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!” a reference to Jet Jaguar’s theme song from the movie.

Jet Jaguar showed up regularly in the series, coming off as Godzilla’s designated driver friend and handler. What I mean is that he seemed to be out to protect Godzilla, but that meant having to keep his violent ally on task (ie. pointing out that Gigan was nearby to stop Godzilla from attacking Jet Jaguar) and throwing punches when the situation absolutely called for it.

This continuity played up Jet Jaguar as more enigmatic than anything, as although he was mechanical, the only human character who knew his origins was killed off before it could be explained. Even one of the invading alien villains saw him on a screen and basically went, “Oh crap. It’s THIS guy!” Regardless, he still came off as a total badass, winning fights against Godzilla, Gigan (the chainsaw-hand version), and Destroyah.

Then again, at one point he needed to be saved by the 1998 American Godzilla, which at least proved as a reminder to the robot hero that there are Toho characters far more hated than him.

Toho started using Jet Jaguar again, albeit in sillier ways. In 2019, as an April Fool’s Day prank, they put up a teaser on YouTube for a Jet Jaguar movie. They also had him appear a few times on Godziban, a Godzilla web series for kids that, once again, used dolls and action figures to tell its stories.

Now Jet Jaguar is a major part of Godzilla Singular Point. To get into specifics on the plot would be like explaining advanced calculus, but to keep on-topic, Jet Jaguar is the creation of Goro Otaki as both a way to ward off monstrous threats and as a company mascot. Considering King Kong’s role in King Kong vs. Godzilla was “kidnapped to be a company mascot,” maybe the Germans were onto something with the rename.

Anyway, this version of Jet Jaguar is more mechanical in appearance instead of having to rely on making him look like a human in a costume. Jet Jaguar is there to protect the heroes from the endless supply of monsters, usually taking some extensive damage. Still, the robot gets rebuilt stronger and stronger and becomes advanced enough to become self-aware and speak in…well, the voice of a teenage girl.

I don’t know, I guess I just figured he’d sound like Astro Guy from King of the Monsters.

There’s a big hard-to-explain twist, but the main thing to know is that Jet Jaguar becomes a full-on badass by the end of the series, turns out to be a huge key to the plot, and has a completely kickass showdown with Godzilla. In a way, Jet Jaguar’s journey in Singular Point is a lot like in real life, going from a lame idea that appealed to kids and gradually being understood as a respected part of the Godzilla mythos. Something initially representative of the worst of the franchise, proven to be something genuinely cool in the right hands.

Now it’s time for America to return the favor. Once again, timing is on Jet Jaguar’s side. The Monsterverse was on its way to the graveyard after the box office intake of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but Godzilla vs. Kong came out at just the right time in the tail end of the pandemic to be a big success and keep the series going a little bit longer. There aren’t too many names in the toybox left to pull out, but at this point, Gigan and Jet Jaguar have to be high on the list.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Make it happen, Hollywood!

Godzilla Singular Point is available to stream on Netflix now.

The jacket feels heavy. He feels the weight of it on his shoulders. It feels like coming home. An extremely haunted home, mind you, one that swallows him whole. It's infested with all sorts of spirits and poltergeists of his past, but it's a home nonetheless. He doesn't even know why he has it on all these years later. His father is long gone. He's grown into the jacket a little bit more since he was 26, it was only natural. It still engulfs him.

For years, Dean Winchester wore his father's jacket everywhere he went. It was his security blanket. These days, he never wears it out of the house. He can't bring himself to. He isn't the man he was when his father passed this jacket on to him. He wonders, fleetingly, if his father would be proud of the man he's become, or if he would spit atrocities at him for becoming something that was disappointing. He wonders if his father would think him less of a man.

Massachusetts is actually limbo. We don't know how our weather works. Spring lasts a month if we're lucky. 2 weeks in April and the first 2 of May. March is called surprise winter storm month. We love the sun but probably only see it every few weeks, depending on the time of year and the angle at which the eagle screams. We've had 3 tornados in past two years. It's September but the temperature this week has been in the 70s. But literally as I type this a cold front seems to be rolling in, clouds are blotting out the sun, and yet I can still smell that warm air. We are constantly in the state of "Will this be a normal rain or is a storm coming?"

The leaves began slowly falling a month ago. It was still very warm out. The first two weeks of September always smell like fresh cut grass and watermelon jolly ranchers. All the trees grow sideways. We get snow every year, and still over react when we hear it's on its way.

Our fucking monument is a rock, and there's a gang that's literally just the Massachusetts area code.

Our fauna is fucking nuts. We apparently have rattle snakes, (I WAS SHOOK WHEN I LEARNED THAT SHIT) and while rare, apparently we also have black widow spiders. There's a type of spider that lives here, that if it bites you, can cause necrosis. Our ecosystem mimics that lifecycle example of textbooks; rabbit overpop so foxes and coyotes overpop, then no food, so pop drops. Also there are deer sometimes. We had a bear make its way into Cape Cod a few years ago. It was in my yard at one point. That was fun. Turkeys are insane. They will attack you, your car, your dog, or run away screaming. It's always a toss up. Our mice can get to be the size of rats and or gerbils, especially field boys, because they thrive in our type of environment.

Our taxes are always weird Numbers, and none of us seem to know how they work. Our healthcare is free if you're poor (I had Masshealth and hoooboy. They told me I was 106% below the poverty line.. so like. I was double poor? I'm not entirely sure the people running it are smart...) But it also is shite. You literally should just go to your local hospital and have them fill out your paperwork if you need to renew it, because it will never be correct otherwise. After telling me I was like. Uber poor. They then proceeded to claim I was making too much money to receive the free health care. Apparently they had me listed as working 5 jobs, because despite me having to constantly update them about any income changes (IE I quit that job. I no longer work there. I am employed at a different place.) they would then just add that to the list of jobs I currently worked at. I had to drive two hours away to get a tooth removed because no dental surgeon near me could do it as they didn't take my insurance. (I may or may not be venting... Let me have this.)

Tourists. They arrive in droves and expect to have perfect weather. I may or may not have started to take great pleasure in telling ppl they missed out on the lovely weather we'd had the week before, when it had been gross and muggy the next. (If I don't get to enjoy the nice weather when it comes to us, neither do you Sharon!) They also demand you tell them if the local historical museums and attractions are interesting. Lady, why would I visit the JFK museum, I have grown up with all of them, my mom grew up with them and went to school with them. I have no need the hear their stories for the 15th million time. And why do you think it will be easy to just wander anywhere near the kennedy compound without getting in trouble? You can't just visit them, they are not a zoo attraction! (Some of them are really chill but it depends on which kid you talk to.) My favorite was "Oh my god do they really live there?! All year round?" Like... Idk? I would assume they probably travel, but like... We're not all buddy buddy with them? I don't know if they're at the house on the vineyard this week, but if they call I'll let you know! "Plymouth rock was not as interesting as I thought it would be." It's... It's a rock. What did you think it would take and preform a dance number? The plantation ain't real either! You wanna tell me how disappointed you were that those are actors and that none of them actually live there? (It does happen and it does make me die inside.) Yes. Everything on cape cod is nautical themed, we are famous for it, you want generic go to the mall. I don't know if anyone around here are locally sourced seafood servers. Ask them!

HALLOWEEN IS WEIRD. Salem goes overboard and so suddenly people seem to think the rest of massachusetts needs to get spooky. Every village has ghost tours. I have never been on one but yes, I have seen the marsh lady, she is terrifying. And yes I did see the ghost horse. No it's not particularly interesting, but we've all seen them, and we pretend not to.

Boston is historical as fuck. You wanna learn history shit? Go there. Concord and Lexington are just as historical. Salem is only cool during the fall, nothing else is really open during the summer there.

I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THE MEDIA SHIT:

Boondock Saints is the most Boston Bullshit (in a good way) movie you will ever see. And the second one was... Ok? The Covenant was like... If Salem was trying to advertise itself by making it sexy and edgy to teenage girls? If you need serious Boston rep for music: Dropkick Murphy's, Godsmack, and Aerosmith. (We also count Rob Zombie, despite him being from New York? Don't ask me. I don't have answers.) Godsmack is the best. No take backs.

Massachusetts is not real. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you something.
