adventures in washington day eins

we got up early-ish and went to school. it was a long bus ride to D.C. and i mostly listened to music the whole way, as did annika. once we got there, we had lunch on the steps of the lincoln memorial. i sat with annika and julian and i also walked around with both of them while they took pictures. after lunch we got a white house tour (!!!) and we had to go through TONS of security. a really funny moment that happened was that this kid seamus was like he went too forward in the line and. secret service guy chewed him out like "young man this isn't disney world this is the white house". me and annika and julian - who were on either side of me in line - laughed at that. i think this is gonna become a trip meme tbh. the white house was honestly pretty underwhelming...the rooms were small and kinda boring and we didn't see very much. at the end we saw this adorable squirrel that was like white and it deadass posed for people's cameras. also another thing that happened - julian was gonna talk to me except i had walked somewhere else because, you know, i wasn't gonna stay in the same place for very long unless i was in conversation - and he thought my friends libby and sabine were me and it was weird??? and he tried to explain it to me in english but i like didn't understand and then he refused to say it in german so yeah eventually he got his point across but it was awkward. then we checked into our youth hostel and got SIX WHOLE HOURS of free time. i ended up in a big group with a shit ton of germans - leander, melvin, philipp, annika, laura, caro, and ve - and one other american, harry. it was interesting because i can keep up with and speak german with the germans while every time they talked to harry they translated stuff in english. there was one point where we had ice cream and ve like complimented me on my german and it felt really nice???? i'm shit at compliments but ya it felt good. we walked around trying to find food for a g e s because caro wanted to find a supermarket and then harry's phone died and the germans didn't have wifi so we had to use my phone for like 12 different things and we walked like everywhere so eventually annika and i just gave up and got snack food from a subway next to the hostel and the others ended up going to a five guys anyway so what even was the point. i read my book alone in the room for a while while annika napped and then we went to the second floor of the hostel and some f the americans were messing around in the kitchen and then annika and ve and i watched eddie and julian play pool (i'll explain why he keeps being mentioned in a sec) and then we went downstairs and the boys showed up later and turns out julian is helt good at the bottle flipping thing it's RIDICULOUS and then we went to look at all the monuments. it was night so they all looked rlly cool and i was talking to julian at the washington one and this guy justus just walks up and starts taking pictures and i told him to leave and he asked if he was interrupting my romance?? so i yelled at him and told him i liked girls (which is true without me actually lying abt my sexuality) and he said "now i know i'm safe" he's a good kid just doesn't know social rules. anyway so then we went to the mlk memorial and we chatted by the water for the sum total of about five seconds and then he started taking pictures - this kid. like his insta is just his travel photos i swear. anyways then we went to the jefferson memorial and i took some pictures for him bc he has this shitty samsung phone and his phone camera is kinda shit and we talked about like differences in american vs german culture ig and it was nice until i said smth abt not liking tea and this german girl vicky starter talking to me abt tea and it was a little awkward but she's easy to talk to i guess. and THEN we went to the ww2 memorial and julian basically followed me around the whole time and when i asked why he said bc in the easiest to follow around which was nice i GUESS??? and then i was like on the verge of panicking later so i kinda removed myself. when we got back to the hostel marina libby danielle and i got to talking abt all sorts of random shit - family and gossip and school and our germans and last year - and libby said that julian probably likes me and/or is trying really hard to be my friend which is REALLY flattering bc i N E VE R get hardcore attention from irl people ever, platonic or romantic, and he's like a cool guy so it's like all ok whatever he's doing? and so we talked abt all sorts of other shit and somehow now it's 1:33 am and i'm writing and that's why this shit is so incoherent sorry

Spooky Babbles About: CW’s PPG leaked script

....oh dear

Disclaimer: this post isn’t meant to start any fights or anything. I believe in criticizing media so that we can learn what does and doesn’t work, and apply that to our own written works. So, we’re here to learn and discuss, so I hope you brought your discount notebook from Staples, and Scholastic Scented Pencils

Anyways, how about that new, edgy live action remake of The PowerPuff girls?

I wanted to share my thoughts as an outsider to the franchise. I’ll admit, I didn’t really grow up with the show. I know the basic stuff about it, like the characters, idea of the plot, and I’ve listened to/watched a lot of videos and podcasts discussing the show. So, I get the basic idea of everything. And I’m not particularly emotionally attached to the show.

Why does this matter? Well, I noticed a lot of backlash against the leaked script of the teaser and I think the first episode? So, I wondered, hey, what would someone who’s a newbie to the series think about this script?

Not just that, but, and I’ll admit, I wasn’t super opposed to the basic idea of the show?

Hear me out

I actually think the idea of someone reflecting on what they missed out on growing up is alright. And since these girls were admittedly busy saving people, it wouldn’t be too out there to wonder how effective they’d be in building lives outside of that. Hell, it’d even be interesting to see the ppg as adults. Are they still a team, what do they think about the whole thing in retrospect, what are they doing? And hey, making some characters lgbt? You know what? Fuck yeah!

So, I don’t think that the concept was dead on arrival... but goddamn, that execution tho. I’ll be detailing what goes on in the script under the cut, so if you’re interested, um... get ready for the new ppg, Tana Mogeau, Trauma Girlboss, and Stereotypical Lesbian Hulk.

Part 1: Plot?

Ok bitches, we’re in a new universe of PPG. There’s swearing and sex and a bunch of unnecessary shit bc EDGE! And listen, as a local edge lord, I don’t mind edginess. I’m just saying, when you’re being a try hard, it’s clear you’re being a try hard.

So, in this universe, the og cartoon exists, and is based on what goes on here... ok. And Prof Uranium or whatever specifically made the gals to be super heroes. With the help of Mojo Jojo, who’s human now bc idk, and spoiler, Mojo becomes angry bc he doesn’t get as much clout as the prof out of this.

So, we get the girlies fighting as little kids, and there’s a mention by Bubbles that they need to look good for the camera bc, if you haven’t figured it the fuck out, we’re going with the oh so original idea that the PPG are just the prof’s way of getting famous and getting clout. Oh, and the mayor’s gf Sara Bellium is now the prof’s gf bc... idk.

Anyways, Mojo is super angry, but he has a son, Jojo, who is crushing on Blossom. Ok. So, Not Monkey man starts an Anti PPG protest? Basically saying that this is all a stunt for money, and even accusing the prof of creating the monsters. Oh yeah, nobody knows where all these monsters came from, and apparently nobody cares enough to investigate I guess. Anyways, even though there’s this entire movement against 3 little girls, the girls are still happy living with the Prof and Sara. Also, apparently Mojo’s motive is that he wanted powers that he could use for good? Ok.

Then oh no, the PPG are teenagers bc time skip. For some reason, Bubbles is hung over bc underage drinking is necessary. Also, the animal lover broke into the zoo and made the flamingos drink alcohol? Ok. And Buttercup is cheating on her gf, bc why not? She’s the most masculine, so obviously she’s the one attracted to women. Stereotypes! And Blossom is a good student. Bc yes. Anyways, they need to get up super early to fight crime, but they don’t want to bc they’re tiiiireeed. And Bubbles doesn’t want pigtails, but the Prof tells her to stay in character, so that’s that.

And then Mojo tries to kill 3 minors with his son, and there’s this entire group of people throwing shit at the girls bc let’s kill kids! And then Blossom accidentally kills Mojo, becomes traumatized, everyone hates these minors, and one by one, all girls run away to start a new life.

Time skip! Buttercup is a firefighter who hides her powers but doesn’t. Bubbles is sticking to her character in an attempt to be a celebrity, and she does anything possible to market off her identity. So, going solo, doing porn, making documentaries, selling merch, etc. And Blossom is a bioengineering student with a boyfriend who might as well not exist.

Btw, part of how Blossom calms herself down when panicking is visualizing her child self. So we get weird scenes where she sees her child self hanging out in a bar? Ok. Also, she has a panic attack every scene she’s in bc I guess we need it? And her sisters calm her down by scream-singing Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. And that same song is super inspirational to Blossom. I mean, I also like that song, but... ok.

So, the gals are going to Townsville to collect money from the prof. Bubbles is super insensitive to her sisters’ mental health, and is turning the reunion into a documentary, and says at one point that the family dysfunction is all she has. Buttercup is bitching in every scene, and we’re reminded every 10 seconds that Blossom has anxiety.

Anyways, remember Jojo? He’s mayor, and trying to get re-elected. But he wants revenge on the PPG bc dad died, so he does the obvious thing of hiring a child that killed her parents to kill the PPG. And he just acts like a generic super villain in his villain chair, and he has a monkey, and he really doesn’t matter.

The killer kid, Henrietta, shows up in a crowd outside the PPG house, bc people are protesting the girls being back? And she humiliated them. Also, Henrietta has these evil robots that control your brain by going in your ear, and she doesn’t really matter.

We get these whole series of scenes that hammer in that the prof is a bad dad and everyone hates him, but they also lazily set up redemption arc for him or something? Anyways, he figures out that there’s evil going on, bc Henri’s lab is sucking up the wifi on a street. And he convinces the girls to investigate. This is pointless, as the three just go to a bar, and get drunk and argue. And they don’t find Jack shit, although Henrietta is mind controlling some rando who attacks them, and it doesn’t matter.

Then they go home, Buttercup has sex with some other rando and everyone walks in on them, and I guess it’s funny. Also, turns out that the prof has no money to give anyone, so the girls start screaming. We get this weird accusation that the og cartoon whitewashed the girls bc hey, let’s insult the source material. Then the rando gal buttercup was sexing gets possessed by the robots, and attacks, but they save her, and Blossom figures out how to solve everything. Then the prof gets possessed, there’s an entire crowd of possessed people in town now.

Bubbles and buttercup decide to save the day, but Blossom is like “no”. Then her child self shows up, they sing Kelly Clarkson, and then she’s like “ok”. Anyways, the other two have dumped water on the crowd and saved everyone, but oh no, Henri is making the prof do a fall off building backflip, but Blossom saves him. Then they almost kill a child, everyone loves them, the girls decide to be heroes, Jojo sneaks a camera into their home, and is a bad guy I guess.

And there’s the plot. There’s a PDF online if you want to read it. I left some stuff out that really doesn’t matter, so.

Part 2: Dialogue Who?

Yes, these are screenshots. I thought that if I tried explaining some of this dialogue, people wouldn’t believe me. So...

I hope I don’t need to explain what’s wrong here. Mainly because... I don’t think I can put into words the level of “have you ever spoken to a human being” we’re dealing with here.

——-

This is already pretty long, so I’ll make a part 2. I’m sure you folks may already have caught on to my opinion of this... thing. But in the next part, I’ll discuss the characters, pandering and how this shit could be fixed.

I apologize for wasting your time
