✨Kitty Entertainment Headcanons🎇

Dancing

•Kitty's a huge lover of dance either for fun or to express mood and narrative.

•She used to take dance lessons when she was six years old at one of Santa Monica's junior dance troops. She stuck out like a sore thumb due to her hair and build and even though she desperately wanted to wear a tutu, she looked the most uncomfortable. The other girls would make fun of her because her movements weren't as dainty or refined and her teacher could sometimes be harsher with her.

•Despite her hatred for the lessons she continued to dance at home in front of the TV when the late show bands came on and to old records her father kept (and the new releases.)

•She would dance to Disney's releases too. One of her best memories is dancing to songs from The Jungle Book around the living room with her Dad.

•By the time the 80s rolled around she went out to dance clubs in the city that played Disco music (and didn't require any ID)

•She dances around her room to The Clash and other forms of Brit-Pop when she's feeling energised or needs to blow off steam.

• Her favourite dances are dramatic, modern and contemporary, musical theatre and street but she has a real fondness for ballet.

Movies

•Well she's a big animation fan but that's pretty obvious! Disney, the Looney Tunes and 80s cartoons.

•Kitty likes her horror, especially old monster movies like the Hammer House films. But she also loves the frightening psychological fare with or without the gore.

•She likes fantasy and is a big sci-fi fan. She loves Star Wars, Dune and Alien. I think Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder would be two of her favourite actresses. Anything with deep space exploration, strange characters, funky aliens she really likes.

•She likes the kind of fantasies by Ralph Bakshi and Rankin Bass as well as beautiful tragedies like Ladyhawke.

•She loves to laugh and will not only watch old toon shorts but also whatever snappy comedy that's in the cinema. She's not really a big fan of comedies that has emphasis on gross out and anything set in a high school puts her off instantly...unless it's Heathers.

•Roger and her watch old movies together. She's seen some that her Mum watched with her like The Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life and the old live action Disney films but doesn't know much about them. He introduces her to Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Cagney and Lauren Bacall. While she's a bit more of a modern gal she thinks Humphrey Bogart is cool.

Music

•As a little girl she loved nursury rhymes, lullabies and old comedy songs her Dad heard in the army.

•She loved old Disney package-film ditties her mother used to teach her, as well as the old tunes of the shorts from Maroon Studios where her parents used to work.

•As she matured so did her tastes. To express the onset of teenage-to-young adult anger she turned to punk rock and if she was really mad the occasional heavy metal. The sound offered a release from all the post-grief pain of her mother's death.

•Her Dad collects records so she's heard Buddy Holly, Chet Baker and Bing Crosby.

•She enjoys pop music, theatrical stage numbers and has a soft spot for blues and jazz.

Art

•She draws a lot of cartoon and comic art.

•She agrees with livening up a place with art, the brighter and bolder the better. Doesn't matter if it's a new apartment, a city centre or a back alley, art should cheer people up and make them think. As controversial as people find it she's into the political/social graffiti scene.

•She likes going to art galleries if there's an exhibition on that she likes. But she's more likely to attend studio tours to see animator's art.

•She thinks art therapy is a grand tool and likes the idea of throwing paint, like physically throwing it at the canvas. And then peppering it was flecks to make stars or surf or light etc

•Has sent her art into TV shows for kids before but didn't hear much back.

Rollerblading

•Kitty goes down to the roller rink down by the pier to either hang out by herself or with a buddy and is really good at it. She's been doing it since she was five and can now practically dance-skate to the rhythm.

•She also uses the other facilities like bowling, pool and those machines that eat your money.

•She often buys herself a nice shake and fast food to go with it (though not while skating.)

•She knows some of the staff and they know her but it's not always mutual respect. They're often underpaid male employees close to her age who like to whisper. Or just roll their eyes when you ask if a game is working. She despises their snarky comments and can make some back but at the end of the day she knows their managers are worse.

•She's good at those dance games, quick on her feet and does the stomp parts very well.

•Once played so much she lost track of time and used up all her coins so she couldn't get the bus home and ended up asking a random stranger for money for the pay phone so her Dad could pick her up.

•After that embarrassing moment, she started saving up for a bike. Her Dad bought her one anyway. She was elated and now rides places everywhere.

Who changed Lola Bunny?

Malcolm D. Lee explained, “This is 2021. It’s important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters. … So we reworked a lot of things, not only her look, like making sure she had an appropriate length on her shorts and was feminine without being objectified, but gave her a real voice. For us, it was, ‘Let’s ground her athletic prowess, her leadership skills, and make her as full a character as the others.'”

(See the complete interview here: X)

So, gone are her curves, thigh-high drawstring shorts and midriff-baring crop top. Instead, Lola Bunny now takes on a sportier look wearing a more standard basketball vest and leggings under her track shorts.

But, let's see more deeply what determinated this choice:

1. Being mad at a fan art is sad, people.

Before, a sad 50 yo guy starts complaing about how "cancel culture" or "politically correct" ruined his life - Really? Changing a cartoon bunny from a movie you didn't see for a decade ruined your life? Wow. Someone should really review the list of their priorities -, let's see how really Lola looked in the 1996 original Space Jam.

Here we have original Lola Bunny:

(Here you can see all Lola's scenes in Space Jam: X)

Yes, Lola walked in a sexy way that show off her curves, or at least she seemed to have curves (a little breast, tight waist, long legs, bootie), but those are not big as in the fan art you are seeing around, and Lola's curves are not evidenced during the match or when she played. Is more her attitude and posture that made her look sexy. However, althought her curves clearly changes every time she is doing something different, from action to action, there are some scenes in which she is purposely made sexy, with saxophone music as soundtrack and male-gaze sections that ends in the same way, Lola surrounded by a bunch of horny and howling cartoon guys.

That's appropriate with Jessica Rabbit: she is purposely made and designed as a parody of the femme fatale from old hard boiler movies, in which attractive, mysterious women were portrayed as evil and manipulative gals who hide criminal intentions. Jessica, with her intentionally exaggerated body, subverted the misogyny of 40s and 30s detective movies: she is kind-hearted, truly loves her naive and goofy husband Roger and uses her powers (beauty and cunning) to protect him. Her body too is used for comic sketches, while this not happens for Lola, that's just a serious and indipendent basketball player. So, the male obsession for her body is out of place, expecially because she reacted with anger at being misconsidered only for being an attractive female bunny. “Don't call me doll” is her catch phrase. So, it seems strange she didn't react at all at the very sexualized presentation at the final basketball match: Lola simply shows her basketball skills, ignoring or accepting passively the reaction of the honey crowd of wolves around her. (Please, notice the association: Lola “admirers” are wolves, predators, while Lola, their object of desire, is a rabbit, a prey)

This is the cartoon version of cat calling: they are like a group of men who sit on their porches and whistle at girls everyday when they walk in from of them. A normal girl or woman would pass over this thing, even if they are bothered, unconfortable or embarassed, because they are more scared by a possible violent reaction of this whistling horny guys at their legitimate anger objections. But here, we are talking of Lola, a strong Looney Tunes bunny, and she could smash that damn basket ball on wolves' face, breaking all their teeth. That would be very a Looney reaction. But Lola doesn't react at all at this situation. Here, on my opinion, screenplayers missed an opportunity, but probably they thought to have already did too much with Lola's personality and “girl power”.

Remember also that Lola is the only young cartoon female character we see in the whole movie. So we can't do a proper comparison with other female relevant characters' rapresentation. (See here for a deeper analysis of Lola's origin and development: X)

However, compared with Bugs, Lola looks more fit, more humanized than Bugs. Lola has clearly a definited breast and booty, but it looks like is more her posture that makes them relevant. Lola has clearly shoulders back to show the rack. Bugs is anthropomorphic but remains an animal, has no shoulders or pectorals more like a human and looks a bit over-weight (fat belly). And his posture don't keep that stomach in, chin up, and march forward.

Lola, on the other hand, has a more human structure. That's why I say she has curves. An example are Mickey and Minnie who are two beans in the same way it is not that Mickey is a bean and Minnie has small tits, they are structurally alike.

Lola's body remembers highly No-Ribs-Jasmine from Aladdin (see the gif for reference). That unrealistic Barbie-like waist that was so popular in the 90s and 80s. (See here for references: X and X)

Now, we are changed a lot from the past 24 years. Barbies didn't have that impossible, unrealistic waist-line anymore, Disney princess concept has changed (see Merida and Moana).

Lola concept is changed in 2012: her design for the new cartoons is totally different and her personality too. She wear a blue or violet dress, almost flat-chested and she was made annoying and silly, just to make a contrast with Bugs smarter. Just like Daffy Duck is dumb as hell and his new girlfriend, Tina Russo (no more dear old Melissa Duck), is way smarter than him. Tina is tough, street-smart, rebellious and feisty. But we will see this thing in the next point.

2. People on the upper floors hated Lola personality.

Lola Bunny had only few lines in Space Jam, but she definitely passed the first impression that she was draw only for make male characters fall in love. Lola was a good basketball player and show it off, in front of a skeptical and then astonish bunch of cartoon guys and also Michael Jordan. She also had a strong personality and said it clear to Bugs she didn't like being called "doll". Lola was beauty and curvy, but not a cheerleader. Lola was a basketball player. Remember this part, because we will talk about basketball in the next point.

If at the box office Space Jam was a success, at Warner Bros there were those who turn up their noses, and they are important people, from the upper floors, who accused the film with Michael Jordan of having completely distorted the philosophy of the Looney Tunes. They blamed Lola Bunny more than everything else. Producers of Warner Bros said she was too perfect for the moody group of Warner cartoons: she was too sensual, provocative and independent, totally alien to that core of crazy characters that act as an exaggeration of the vices of 'man.

And fans hated her too. Chuck Jones, creator of the Merrie Melodies said: "Lola Bunny is a character with no future, she’s a totally worthless character with no personality."

So, Lola Bunny was deleted. Lola would make only some brief apparitions in some comics edited by DC Comics, in Baby Looney Tunes, in which she was a toddler with a very similar personality and resemblance to Space Jam adult version, and also as playable character in some unsuccessful videogames.

Years passed and projects for a sequel of Space Jam never become reality, so in 2003 Warner Bros relased Looney Tunes Back in Action. But Lola wasn't here, because the movie purposely want to make a deep cut with what we saw in Space Jam, according to what said it's director Joe Dante. This movie was a totally failure, but it gave back to Looney Tunes their craziness.

Years passed again, but this time is 2011, 10th of May on Cartoon Network was relased the second episode of The Looney Tunes Show. The series aimed to strongly relaunch the Looney Tunes, long gone from the glories of the past, updating the stories of Bugs Bunny and associates in a sitcom key, with the rabbit sharing a house with Daffy Duck in a suburb of Los Angeles. All interspersed with sketches by Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner done in CGI and the updated return of the Merrie Melodies. But the big news of the second episode is that LOLA BUNNY RETURNED.

And Lola was a character with some relevance within the series, even if something didn't seem right with her. Lola looked different, she was no longer the rabbit version of the femme fatale seen in Space Jam: she was naive, talkative, with her head in the clouds, crazy to the point of becoming Bugs Bunny's stalker. Bugs after having fallen in love with her at first glance understands on the first date that he absolutely can't stand Lola. She is no longer the Lola we used to know, even if the appearance is similar and the name is the same. Lola is effectively a Looney Tunes now. And the fans like her, the public like her, Warner Bros like her.

(See Lola in The Looney Tunes Show here: X)

But this is a big walk in behind from the indipent character we used to know in Space Jam. Lola was turned into the stereotype of the crazy girlfriend for a while. And this is not a surprise, if we remember that in 2012 were popular the "overly attached girlfriend" meme template. (See here for references: X)

However, in The Looney Toons Show Lola has some very funny moments, while in Space Jam she was more serious and a little out of space among the other characters. (See here for references: X)

3. What women wear when they play basketball?

Women's National Basketball Association was only created in 1996. So, women's basketball were not considered - and still is not considered - as important as men's basketball at the time Space Jam was filmed.

In Space Jam 2 there will be WNBA players with a significant role, for example Diana Taurasi and Nneka Ogwumike.

Professional female athletes aren't that curvy because curves are determined by body fat and they have a little.

As a busty volleyball player, I can say, dear people, breats could be very annoying during sport activities: it could be a pain, when you run or jump. That's because a lot of women wear sport bra to compress and support their breast. Sports bra may also include layered cups or a high neck to keep everything in place and protect from painful hits, so women can be safe and comfortable during workouts.

Female basketball players didn't wear crop-tops and tight shorts to play. They wear exactly what Lola wears in the picture above: long sleeveless tees, large shorts and maybe protective gears such as knee pads, sleeves or braces to reduce chronic pain caused by the immense burden put on the knees in basketball, to prevent bruises caused by collisions and hard fall and to provide support after a significant knee injury like an ACL tear. They could wear also compressive arms sleeves to help muscles that are sore or overworked to recover faster. The sleeve enables your blood flow to circulate quicker to the heart, which helps you heal and recover quicker.

Wow. WNBA wears Exactly what wear NBA players. So surprising.

4. This is only a promotional character sketch, not what Lola would look in the movie.

Space Jam 2 would be developed in CGI and there are a little preview frames going around, included one showing Lola jumping and you can see her breast shape. But she totally looks like a comic cartoon character. It's not humanized. It's not designed to be the sexy love interest. She doesn't look out of space among the others anymore, expecially because seems that there would be also Tweety's Granny and Melissa Duck or Tina Russo as players too.

5. Reality.

Really? You want a human anthropomorphic rabbit? Well, Lola as a rabbit would have something like six nipples, but no human-like breast. And, also, real life girls have ribs. No one in real life is that thin. Oh, well, if you don't considered Pixee Fox, a model who had surgically removed six ribs and wears daily a compressive bust corset (yes, like the one that made Elizabeth Swan faint in the first movie of Pirate of the Caribbean) to look like a cartoon fairy (Tinkerbell, you are the one to blame for this).

(See here for references: X)

In conclusion, we can say that all this controversy is based only on a porny fan art and that Lola “new” graphic isn't change too much from the original Space Jam movie. It's just a little more cartoonish.

We can also firmly remeber that Space Jam 2 is going to be developed for children, to relunch Looney Tunes among new generations of children, who are the largest buyers of merchandising (including Happy Meals surprises) and consumers of new cartoons that surely would be developed, if Space Jam 2 would be a success.

However, we should admit that those kids probably know better the 2011 version of Lola than her original version and that 2011 version was more appreciated by fans and producers. Lola's voice actress, Kristen Wiin won BTVA People's Choice Voice Acting Award in 2012 and was nominated for that prize also about three times in the following years. Also Rachel Ramras, Lola's voice actor was nominated for BTVA People's Choice Voice Acting Award in 2016 for her role in Looney Tunes: Rabbit Run.

We don't know anything about Lola's personality in Space Jam 2, so we can't do a proper comparison or a prevision, but, according to what Malcolm D. Lee said, we can assume that original personality of Lola would be preserved.

The controversy is relevant only for Lola's body and not for her personality, and that's is highly rappresentative of what impressed more this bunch of grow-up kids. They grow up to be like the horny wolves and they are howling because their prey is not available anymore.

And, to be honest, being so obsessed with the breast and the body of a cartoon character (that is clearly made up for kids) it's not sane at all. Sorry to say that, but sometimes people need to drink from a bottle of truth.

♡ Yandere Jungkook x Reader ♡

♡ Words: 1k ♡

Vol. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Warning! Cursing, Slight NSFW, and adorable gifs of Jungkook

Synopsis• One nightstand gone Marriage!? The past catches up with Yn when her head over heels husband finds his lost bride and will keep her by any means necessary.

Have you ever had a memory that made you cringe? So much so Your mind successfully blocked out the unpleasant memories, kind of like swiping dust under a rug, Out of sight out of mind. You go about your days as if nothing ever happens because, as far as your concerned, nothing ever did happen.

“ You know, Men arent evil, annoying, but they have their moments.”

You stared blankly, clueless to what your best friend, Lily, was nagging you about now. Nine times out of ten, she prying into your personal affairs. These interventions of hers were exasperating. It often begins with lily questioning whether or not you’re just plain frightened of the opposite sex. You refuse to go dates, and you scoffed at any man who gives you the time of day.

“ Lily, Sweetie,” You place a gentle hand on top of her. “ I love you, but please leave me alone about males and sex.” You fluttered your lashes and returned to your novel.

Better relish the momentary silence because this conversion won’t end until Lily’s blue in the face. Here’s the gist of things. Lily (Your childhood friend) wants to see you find you’re happily ever after, with a special guy in result, she jackhammers her way into your business every opportunity she spots.

Pity for her, you don’t take a lot of interest in males and sexual intercourse as much as Lily wishes you did. To her dismay, You take pleasure in good books or tv series (mostly Korean dramas)-

Lily and you even took a vacation to Busan, South Korean, and the main places you visited were museums and the libraries-like you got to be Kidding, thousands upon millions of Korean hunks, and you are at the library!?

Good thing, you mastered the art of zoning out once getting your ear chewed off and spat back at you.

♫ You know that I cant show you me give you me I can’t show you a ruined part of me-♫

Lily put her anger of hold for a second to snatch your phone from your lap. Your not the type of gal who hands out phone numbers, so who the hell is ‘Jungkookie.❤’

“Don’t answer random numbers on my phone, please, and thank you.” You issued an unamused tone without giving her so much as a side glance.

“ Who’s the hell is Jungkookieee ?” Lily sang a lovey-dovey tune. “ Ya know it’s a bastard move to keep secrets for ya best-friend.” She smirked maliciously, hovering the palm of her finger above the green phone icon, threatening to answer the call of the mysterious man who wasn’t hung up at all this time.

Now, She has your attention. “ Don’t. Answer.To.Weirdos.” You snapped.

“ Pff. He’s not that much of creep because you have a heart beside his name.”

Why do you have a heart beside some weirdos name? The name echoed in your head, but it didn’t ring any bells. Jungkookie. From your love of Korean dramas, you were certain his name was a Korean name, but you have ties with any Korean men not in this part of this hemisphere anyway-

So who is he?

Your phone rang again from the third time in a row. You swiped the phone back for Lily, she keened and pouted about wanting to do the honors.

“ Hello? “

“ Hello, Carrot? Is that you?! I missed your sweet voice so much!” The man’s voice was oddly over the moon when you answered.

And kind of pet name is Carrot-?! The realization hit you like a ton of bricks, memories of months in Busan, South Korean came flooding back. Jeon Jungkook, A bunny’s heart you stole after rejecting him count them thirteen times, you agree to date him. The man was a sweetheart, but a complete looney bin.

He became obsessed, following you around like a lost puppy, constantly checking up on you and the little bunny snuck kisses every chance he got but he was so cute you let it slide.

That night. Jungkook pleased for you to stay and move in with him, but you refused. The bunny respected your decision and proposed another offer. Staying the entire night with him, you allowed him this one request.

The rest of the night was quite a blur, but the next morning, you woke up in revealing pink lingerie with matching vile lying beside a sleeping Jungkook who had his large hands tangled in the lace around the curve of your hips. Needless to say, Grasp your mistake and fled back to the home. Leaving the poor bunny with scars left by your nails on his back, the rouge smears of your lipstick on his pretty pale skin and the bedsheets saturated in your perfume.

However, nothing compared to what he imprinted you with. His last name. Three diamond incised rings. The first representing the promise, the second the engagement, and third marriage. Being that the rings were too pretty and expensive, you kept them just in case of a rainy day.

Good thing too, It seems like it’s time to skip town-

“Wow, There’s a cutie outside!”

You tossed your phone across the room and snatched Lily on to the floor, keeping away from the window.

“Ow! What the hell, Your the only weirdo I know that hides from a hot guy-”

“God. For once, can you just zip it? “ You crawled to the nearest window to take a peek and to your horror, There he stood, Jeon Jungkook just as handsome as ever. How did he find you- true love?- Ya right?

" And I'm not hiding it's just- he's too much for me-"

" From my view right now, You're a little bit too much for me also. Carrot." Jungkook stood over you, adoring the shape of your ass.

You gulped and looked back at him. Speechless. Utterly Speechless.

He chuckled, giving you his signature heart-melting bunny smile before hoisting you up into his strong arms.

You took a quick search around for your traitorous best friend that was long gone.

Jungkook pecked at your chest before declaring your game of hide and seek over.

" Let's go home, Little wifey, I'll take go care of you, and You'll be my adorable little housewife."

Not giving a damn about your protest, Jungkook took you with him anyway. After all, you are his wife, and when he gets you home—the mother of his children.
