We don’t have to go down with them. 

You could tell me what it’s like to be a dad. And I could be your son.

How’s it being lonely I guess?

If I had the money, talent, and connections with the right people or whatever, I’d revive G3 and bring back all the unique collectible characters from the earlier era from like 2003-2007 and I would give it a show, but the show would be like My Little Pony Tales from the 90s, only with G3 ponies and better 2D animation.

I feel like G3 had untapped potential with a show or a full-length movie like G1 did. G1 was brilliant cause it had like 2 shows, but instead of focusing all their toys on just 6-7 main characters, they had a few main characters but a CRAP TON of different characters in the form of collectible toys.

G3 really shot itself in the hoof when they decided to start the whole “let’s just make 6-7 ponies and make 10,000 slightly different variations of them” thing that started with the Core 7 all the way to the current Mane 5 with G5.

I’d make a G3 show with no modern technology (no smartphones, tablets, social media or infl*enc*rs, but like a few old-school computers, TVs, and telephones, like in MLP Tales) and with a main group of friends, but the physical toys would be as vast and unique as the G1 toys were.

And I would also add BOY PONIES to my new G3 era. In my headcanon, boy ponies do exist in the G3 world, they’re just never around. With my new G3 show, I’d 100% add them and there would be toys based off of them, and some would be toy-exclusive.

I’m just so tired of Starlight Glimmer-idolizing neckbeard bronies taking fat dumps all over G3 for being “stupid and babyish” when they have no idea what G3 was actually like for its target audience or that MLP even existed before G4.

Anyway, I just had to air that out cause I needed to. #BringBackG3

any thoughts on the new adult animation show from one of the doc and marty guys where danny devito plays the devil?

Okay, I don't like being one of those idiots online who look at vague designs and aesthetics to go 'Hey, that looks just like Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss', but I feel like there has been an uptick in media centering around Hell, particularly those that deal with children of the devil or demonic royalty, due to production executives looking at what 'the young folks are into' and only going skin-deep.

I.e.: How we're still suffering a deluge of shitty Family Guy/Brickleberry clones because, beep-boop, young people talk about it online, so we should just keep doing that.

So when I saw that trailer, my brain was just thinking 'Okay, this could either go more Lucy, Daughter of the Devil or Hazbin. Right now it's leaning more towards the prior, but I could easily see this reaching into the latter'.

#seriously though #if it were me #I probably wouldn't do a show centering around Hell #because I feel like that category is getting a bit bloated

Ooooooo never been on Tumblr for Conference before. Finding all the other Church of Jesus Christ people who are also posting—eeeeeeeeee!

#and there’s also the hate Elder Oaks get #even when his talk has nothing to do with the queer community #and frankly has no negative vibes at all #i know I’m gonna get flac for defending him #which is fair #but idk can we practice forgiveness? #i know he’s hurt a lot of people with dumb stuff he’s said #i have too. maybe that’s why I wanna cut him some slack in the face of all this #i would want the opportunity to repent and move on offered to me from whoever it is i’ve injured #if it were me #WOW tags got away from me #my bad lol #maybe shouldn’t have said that ehheheh #but that’s what this hellsite is for #general conference #church of jesus christ of latter day saints #tumblrstake

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn't use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like "...but just this once you can have it for free, don't tell my boss though" he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying "yes..... yes!!!!!" like the sickos comic

#slightly dotty child or world's most precocious scam artist? you decide. #i asked where his parents were and apparently they were queuing for a table at the restaurant across the street #he even pointed them out to me #so don't worry this was not an unsupervised bébé #be shh now #containment breach

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:

#beepbeep.txt #dungeon meshi #ryoko kui #this is me trying to explain h/ollow knight lore #also yayyyy reading new things. chapter 18 'spring' is basically UFUT if you squint (sorry for the jumpscare if you know UFUT) #but the last two pages were such a surprising gut punch....it's hard not to see it as a metaphor for both the experience of raising childre #and of taking care of your parents in old age....aughh....

[funshape]

this is the closest you can get to experiencing a jumpscare on social media

#this just happened to me w the walten files if you were curious

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go "it's coriander" and his friend goes very seriously "he can't have coriander" and I'm thinking shit ok maybe he's allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I'm thinking shit shit shit he's probably breaking out in hives rn and it's my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says "I fucking hate coriander"

#the fries were brought back to the kitchen and he got ones that just had salt on them instead #chef asks me why #uhmm #how do I explain #well he has this tattoo

The leg sacrifice! The bones! #Watch them ramp up the quality this episode and go wild with the frantic action of 'oh god our plan is going to shit'. #Hello. Me of the future who just watched the episode. #I knew it was going to be good but that...that blew my mind completely. My high expectations were beyond met. My god. #I'm just speechless at how well they handled everything. The leg. The tension. That ENDING. #If you have not already: PLEASE watch Dungeon Meshi.

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol 

#i think its cute #they took the mars rover approach #humanizing the space craft making it cute making us (me) project emotions onto it #the soviets also used imagery of laika in propaganda a lot #which is pretty fucked up imo #but if i grew up in the soviet union that shit wouldve definetly worked on me lmao #the narrative of a heroic little dog going to space and being honored by the whole country #as cruely wrong as it is its very appealing #the soviets knew what they were doing man they didnt reveal how laika really died until like. the 2000s #bc they knew people really cared about that dog #they liked the narrative around her
