Anyone else a little insane about the Administration guys treating Zane like a piece of property when there was A NINDROID AGENT LITERALLY RIGHT BEHIND THEM

#like does that guy just hate himself? have they convinced him he's an object and a piece of property? #is it a metaphor for how we're all considered mindless drones that only exist to work and make a profit under capitalism? #/hj #ninjago #dragons rising #ninjago dr #ninjago spoilers #the administration #zane

Been binge watching X-Files recently and I've always wanted to make a fake Altered Item file cuz it seemed fun

It was fun.

#the paranatural property is that it imbues a simultaneous sense of scepticism and desire to believe #it basically sat in that office for a decade absorbing the emotional resonance of mulder and scully #and it projects a concentrated form of that on people who look at it #which the last bit of redacted text says makes it a useful tool for training FBC agents #cuz it makes them better investigators #cuz scully and mulder were at their best when they worked together :) and the poster gives somebody both their best properties #obviously this isn't very lore friendly #cuz if X-Files and Control existed in the same universe the FBC would never have allowed the X-Files to exist #unless they deemed it a useful tool ig #anyway #txf #x-files #x files #fox mulder #dana scully #frederick langston #federal bureau of control #control #control 2019 #control remedy #crossover #possible other anomalous property: the poster makes coworkers have very not-platonic feelings for each other #that they don't act on properly ever #and it drives everybody forced to watch crazy

hi Maria, how are you?🙂 good night, by the way. Have you seen the leaks for chapter 260?? Kaiser's story is so sad and realistic🫠, I saw many bllk fans saying that they remembered his past☹️

Holy shit nonnie, I just went to check after you mentioned and yeah woah my man, I expected bad cause of that one spread of Isagi and Kaiser on a fancy sofa. Like Isagi's stuff was all nice and clean and Kaiser just had the ball, a very fucked up, old and patched together ball. But I did know expect 'physically abused child-thief thrown in juvenile detention' bad.

Also how the hell would football save nobody preteen from jail time??? He wasn't even an actual child player by then!!!! Jesus blue lock really makes no sense what so ever huh? Is this still about football even?

Anyways now I side with Kaiser even more, kicking a pig in the face is hard as fuck. The emperor says acab, we all must hear. Kaiser is a real one, that's it, steal from the rich, kick cops, kick your abusive parents. Kaiser truly stands at the top, now I hate Isagi's middle class Japanese boy ass even more. He had a loving family and a nice home, never knew suffering in his life, guy could never imagine what Kaiser went through.

Also, know what's even funnier: if I had a nickel every time an anime character raised in poverty was sent to jail and then freed by the power of a national sport I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's strange it happened twice.

#Bllk spoilers #blue lock spoilers #Bllk 260 #Blue lock 260 #Take a wild guess what the second nickel is for #Come on I dare you to get it right #I suffer for Kaiser he deserved so much better #I would say 'why weren't the fucking cops to protect him when he was being physically abused by they were there to throw him in jail' #But them I remembered cops only exist to protect private property #The state really failed Kaiser in multiple ways

The Warners' Surprisingly Fitting Concerns

You know, I never gave it much thought (outside of this dumb joke) but each Warner's verse in "We Could Try to Do It, Santa" fits their personality pretty well and is about the thing they'd naturally be the most concerned about in that situation.

Yakko's Verse:

At first his verse is about how they can't deliver the presents without Santa's magic and how they'd have to upgrade Santa's sleigh so it can fly fast enough to travel the world in one night, but then it's revealed his true major concern is how that would result in the reindeer getting hurt:

"Prancer and the others might burn up if we're that fast"

"And a sonic boom would work its way through Dasher, Donner, Dancer,

Soon engulfing Cupid, Comet; Santa, this can't be the answer!

See the last thing that we'd wanna do is make the reindeer yelp!"

As a protective older sibling, naturally Yakko would assume Santa of all people would want to protect the reindeer given that they are under his care, like how Yakko tries to protect his sibs. I think the switch up in the verse's focus also reflects how although Yakko's snarky yet jovial nature means he's not quick to be emotionally open and often hides or undercuts his sincerity with snark or humour; he still clearly deeply cares for his sibs and that will eventually show.

Wakko's Verse:

Well Wakko's verse is unsurprisingly about food, but I also wanna point out how it easily has the most extreme consequences of the three, given that the whole of Earth shatters.

This reflects how Wakko tends to go to extremes the most out of the Warners. Need to do a gag about having eyes at the back your head? Wakko will have nine rather than just two. The Warners are bouncing on springs during an earthquake? Wakko's bouncing on a spring upside down, etc.

The little guy loves being extra.

Dot's Verse:

Dot suggests spying on people in her verse. Dot specifically would be the Warner to sing about this when you remember her whole schtick is acting cute and innocent, but being way tougher, craftier and more violent than she appears.

She more than anyone would know that there's often more to people than meets the eye, and hence would be the one to point out the need for wiretaps, logs of web searches, etc. until they had a "constant feed of every single child on Earth" if they wanted to know what the each child in the world was truly like.

#animaniacs #animaniacs 2020 #animaniacs reboot #the warner siblings #yakko wakko and dot #yakko warner #wakko warner #dot warner #santamaniacs #christmas special #also since Yakko claims they can't do it without Santa's magic BUT we've seen the Warners pull off more impressive feats via toon force #does that mean Roger Rabbit's rule of “I can't do it if it's not funny” applies here? since in this case it would be too convenient? #because if so that only further supports the idea that Animaniacs and WFRR share a universe which I love honestly #this has become a tangent now but they are both about toon actors in the real world AND Bugs and Mickey exist as people in both properties #well Mickey is heavily implied to exist as a toon in Animaniacs at least (Daisy Duck and the Goof Troop kids are confirmed to) #also Dip just feels like something that would exist in the world of Animaniacs whenever it shows up in fics it doesn't feel out of place

A logical sequel to Wreck it Ralph would’ve been one that introduced worries of being outdated and replaced as the arcade gets less visitors, and everyone moves onto consoles and PC gaming.

Maybe that would be resolved through the competitive gaming scene, and DARE I SAY SPEEDRUNNING SCENE with retro games. It would’ve been amazing. (Maybe even go into themes of burnout?? Because they’re being pushed so hard during speedruns lmfao)

But Disney nowadays is more concerned with wide commercial appeal than making meaningful art and this is not a surprise to anyone

#wir #wreck it Ralph #movie #txt #I just wish Wreck it Ralph was not a Disney property #at this point I just have to be happy the first one even exists

How in the fuck are you going to be anti trans and a Good Omens fan as if both the book and the show don’t explicitly establish the existence of several nonbinary characters and both Aziraphale and Crowley themselves are genderless beings

Not to mention both David and Michael’s staunch support of the LGBT (really emphasizing the T here, since you love to drop it) community as a whole, and David literally has a trans child

Part of me is even asking this in good faith because how do you see a series that is so incredibly queer and like it considering how much you shit-talk trans people on your lackluster TERF blog

There’s many reasons, actually! I’ll explain them in good faith, because I think that people who ask questions like this don’t understand the perspective of so-called “terfs” and assume we think like you do.

Firstly, I’m a feminist, so I’m used to media not aligning with my politics. I expect it, actually. Down to very simple things, like knowing I’m never going to go into a show and see a woman just existing with body hair like men do in shows all the time. But I’m comfortable and confident enough in my beliefs that I can consume media that doesn’t align with them. This extends to my feelings regarding gender. A they/them character doesn’t make my head explode, it’s just the same for me as seeing a Christian character (like Ella from Netlix’s Lucifer) or a female character who’s pro-beauty culture (like Elinor from First Kill). It’s a representation of a belief I don’t agree with and personally don’t believe in, that’s all.

Secondly, Good Omens is set in a made up universe with fantasy themes. I can easily get behind the idea that the true forms of angels and demons are genderless, because that makes sense to me in the same way God being genderless makes sense to me. This doesn’t have to carry over to me believing that humans can be genderless (I don’t believe in the concept of internal gender identity, because I don’t believe in souls. So I guess the better way to put this is that I don’t believe humans can be sexless unless we’re using gender and sex as synonyms). In the same way that it makes sense to me that angels and demons have souls that are put into bodies issued to them…but I don’t have to believe that also applies to humans. Or how it makes sense to me that Aziraphale and Crowley could survive without food, water, and sleep…but I don’t have to believe that also applies to humans. Etc. etc.

Basically, just because something is in a fantasy show, doesn’t mean I have to believe it’s real.

Thirdly, what the actors do in their own lives is none of my business. I don’t agree with supporting the TQ+ especially in relation to LGB (considering they’ve made it a primary goal to harass lesbians into pretending we can like penis, and to take every chance they get to express their hatred for homosexuality. I love to drop the T because they dropped me and my fellow homosexuals years ago). If two straight male actors want to do that, whatever. I also don’t agree with Sheen having a baby with a woman his daughter’s age, but that hasn’t stopped me from watching the show or appreciating his talent.

This all takes me back to what I said about believing you don’t truly understand the perspective of those you call “terfs”. Just because you might not be able to comprehend watching and enjoying something that doesn’t perfectly align with your worldview, doesn’t mean others feel the same. For example, many radical and rad-leaning feminists enjoyed the Barbie movie, despite it not being radical feminist. We’re capable of watching and enjoying things we don’t agree with, and of having discussions about why we don’t agree with it.

A much simpler answer to your question would be: I’ve always loved angels and demons and all things supernatural. I’ve always loved old cars. I love Queen. Religious/moral commentary and critique interest me. I love lighthearted comedies. I’m gay and starved for representation of healthy gay relationships. I love gay star-crossed lovers stories (go watch First Kill). Naturally, I’m going to love Good Omens, even if it doesn’t perfectly align with my worldview.

#asks #anon #it’s not even just the stuff regarding gender I don’t agree with! #I have a HUGE issue with the existence of Ms Sandwich and her ‘stable’ of ‘girls’ #brothels are insanely inhumane and a breeding ground for human trafficking. And women are human—not property to sell #tbh I take bigger issue with that aspect than any of the gender stuff #there’s also the whole thing with God being a woman/having the voice of a woman… #…despite there being no attempt at reimagining what the world would be like had it been made by a female god instead of a male one #(example: maybe Adam would’ve come from Eve’s rib. Maybe Adam would’ve been responsible for the Original Sin) #instead Neil keeps all the patriarchal religion stuff in and pats himself on the back for casting a woman as God #what I’m trying to say is that yeah. I have disagreements with the show. so what. #it’s still a good show even if it’s not a radical feminist/rad-leaning show

I'm still not well so this isn't going to be articulate, but I wanted to say something anyway.

In the wake of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (amongst other titles) being purged from streaming I've seen countless posts saying "This is terrible, we need to stop this practice -- they might purge a good show next!" and yeah, for sure a lot of titles being impacted by streaming purges/lack of physical media/a decline in archiving right now aren't going to be remembered for changing the world.

However, I think it is vital that we fight to preserve these titles for their own sake not just because "What if next time it's something we actually like?!" There is value is preserving things widely regarded as "bad" not just because I have firm beliefs about the absurdity of taste, but because who gives a shit if something is deemed "good?" Actual human people put their time and energy into realising these artistic visions. Even if the results are arguably not "good" or "popular", should the efforts of these artists be lost to the sands of time? No, no they fucking shouldn't.

I share a lot of art on this blog from titles very few people consider culturally important or valuabe. However, I don't look at the things I collect & share like that. Even some of the most objectively absurd titles I own are still pieces of art that were developed, published, and consumed by humans in the real world. Whether they've turned out to be broadly memorable or not is irrelevant because they existed and that in itself makes them worthy of preservation so that others can choose to familiarise themselves with them long after the original creative team is gone.

So yes, we should all be trying to preserve the media that's important to us and not let corporations try to stamp out every trace of a financial (though not necessarily artistic) misstep. However, it shouldn't take the threat of something we, personally, like being taken away to stir us into giving a shit.

Even the demise of less admired works should concern us and make us start to burn copies of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies because it might not mean anything to you or I right now, but to some kid in 20 years it could be a seminal experience that leads them to follow their dreams. Or it could become a cult classic that people reflect on at watch parties years in the future. Or it could continue to be a footnote in the history of television that nobody really cares about.

Ultimately I don't think it matters what level of value we arbitrarily assign to media now or in the future, we should be trying to preserve as much of it as possible so that generations from now people can enjoy the option of engaging with these titles should they so wish.

#personal #idk i just feel strongly that even trash should be allowed to exist #and all of us be able to access it if we so choose #some of the most meaningful film experiences of my life have involved B movies and other “low” culture properties #i'm not well enough to even start rambling about high and low culture and the rich #but as an audience we should be able to select what we want to consume #and we should be able to access it regardless of local laws or cultural norms #that's why the efforts of archivists and media preservationists from the lost media wiki to the louvre are so important #“but this spongebob ad had no impact on society who cares if it is accessible or not?” #you can't determine the value of something based solely on your own experience with it #so yeah spongebob ads and episodes of wheel of fortune should continue to exist #and so should the trashiest shoujo manga in the world #god and i haven't even touched on how disproportionately things like this affect work by artists of colour #queer artists and disabled artists #it's super fucking shit and i refuse to let streaming take away these media choices #ok back to my covid sick bed

Is the stuffed animal assok? Or someone else? I must know

well, some of you might have spotted this little friend in the comic-

and some of you might recognise him as Sweep! Sooty and Sweep are two puppets who had a tv show for a lot of years in the UK, and when I was two years old I was given a puppet toy very like this one

mine is... considerably more hugged looking :'D I love Sweep so much, he has given me so many good dreams and looked after me through many sad times and terrible illnesses, and it felt appropriate to pay him due respect by making him Hero's favourite toy as well.

#Sooty and Sweep #Sweep #my main man #TPoH #the property of hate #fair to say I wouldn't have got this far without him #so TPoH exists because of Sweep!

Love the idea of each previous hero's journey being mostly lost to time, such that each time the cycle starts again absolutely no one picks up the very obvious clues that might lead them to the hero.

Oh, you've named your blond haired blue eyed child Link, have you? That's a good name!

Oh, he's found a strange red and white maned horse he's named epona who has utterly bonded with him? How unusual!

Yes, the princess Zelda is the same age, isn't she? What a good omen for the family!

We know he doesn't talk much, but he's the sweetest lad, don't worry!

Don't fret, dearie, his wanderlust will abate when he grows up, I'm sure it won't get him in too much trouble before then.

Prodigious little swordsman, isn't he? He would make a great knight if he wanted to when he's older!

Oh? Rumours about a long forgotten temple in the woods? How strange! Are you sure it's not just the children telling stories?

Look at him in his armoured green outfit! That hat looks lovely on him - where did you find it?

#It's so funny #In just about every Zelda I've played there's been about a hundred signs link is In The Building and no one ever notices #Twilight Princess was the absolute worst everyone just kept bringing up Its The Hero stuff and it just was not clicking #By the time we got to epona I was half tempted to make a bingo card #Heck he even has a tree house!! #Strong oot time genes there XD #There's something about loading up a Zelda game and going 'yup. This is a Zelda game alright' but NO ONE in universe notices #YOU ACTUALLY LIVE THERE YOU GUYS STUDY THIS IN HISTORY CLASS #it also opens up the great trope of link casually knowing stuff from previous lives he absolutely shouldn't and nobody taking it seriously #Until he comes back with the master sword #Some of those games were particularly bonkers and if the specifics never got recorded then there's no way anyone would believe them #A zora princess tried to marry the hero?? Lmao try writing fanfic #Listen I know it says the hero came from the woods but kokiri don't exist he would have just lived in a cottage or something #How dare you besmirch the hero's honour! He would never lower himself to base property damage! Never mind pots! #No hylian can ever wrestle a goron are you insane?? #Talking boat.... Sure #But you just KNOW Zelda would get some scholars and they'd hang off his every word #I love fics where link just casually references some world shaking knowledge (ie rito being zora descended and their own squid ancestors) #Or what the divine beasts were named after #Or what time travel feels like #Or that the myths hylians came from the skies are true #Or what one Zelda did when she vanished centuries ago #Or what the giant skeletons were #That kind of thing #Sorry I rambled #long post #legend of zelda #loz #loz zelda #loz link
