broke: this trope existed as an important tool in revisionist westerns to display the humanity and vulnerability of the protagonist in contrast to their nearly superhuman luck and perceived infallibility until that point in the film, it is a moment of weakness and a way to make the viewer more invested in the protagonist in the final duel since we know they can be defeated

woke: because it was HOT

So I've been working in some sprites/cgs for something rots lately, I still have a lot of work to do but everything's coming together just fine, if life decides not to fuck me this month I'll probably have episode 1 ready. Translating your own game is a weird experience let me tell you, I'm not really confident in my grammar or overall skills when it comes to writing, but I'm trying my best lol. Since things have been busy lately due to me moving houses and stuff, I haven't been answering asks at all, I'll try to catch up in both my accs when everything is calmer.

Added some disclaimers at the start of the game. See this little guy? He's going to be another important character in episode 2!

Canadian Cartoons Are Great

Today, the popular cartoon YouTuber Saberspark uploaded a video talking about the infamous “fart episode” of the 2023 Total Drama series. The comments were filled with hatred and generalizations towards Canadian animation. These terrible comments are not the fault of Saberspark, but it is true that the “big users” in the cartoon community are (mostly) Americans who spread myths and stereotypes about Canadian cartoons. This has bothered me and a few others for quite a while, so here, I’m going to prove why Canadian animation is great, actually, and dispel common misconceptions

All Canadian cartoons are about fart jokes - if you say stuff like this, you clearly have never seen a Canadian cartoon outside of Total Drama and Johnny Test. That’s like if I said “all anime is naughty tentacles” or “all American cartoons are about anvils falling on your head.” And don’t act like your precious USA cartoons and anime are exempt from toilet humor. One example of an anime with toilet humor is Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt - their first episode was about a monster made out of shit. And we all know about the gross out cartoons such as Ren and Stimpy.

Canadian cartoons are cheaply mass-produced because of CanCon - No. What CanCon ACTUALLY states is that a certain percentage of content on a Canadian channel has to be Canadian-made. The policy is about supporting Canadian art, not “mass-producing” cartoons, since this applies to ALL Canadian TV and radio content, animated or otherwise.

Now, let me tell you some reasons why Canadian animation is actually great

Some of your childhood shows, such as Arthur, Franklin, and Little Bear are Canadian in origin.

Some of the most acclaimed cartoons within the cartoon community, such as Ed Edd n Eddy and MLP:FIM, were both animated in Canada and had voice actors from there (same talent pool, in fact - Vancouver)

Inspector Gadget and the Beetlejuice animated series helped keep good animation afloat during the 80s. In a decade full of uninspired and insipid cartoons, these were two of the highlights.

Canada is still a great place to outsource animation, as proven with the works of Nelvana, Mercury Filmworks, Jam Filled, and countless others.

If you grew up without cable, you probably watched PBS Kids and/or Qubo a lot. Guess what - lots of the shows on both of those channels were Canadian. For example: the PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch: Timothy Goes to School, Seven Little Monsters, Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse - these shows are all Canadian! Qubo was also home to Jane and the Dragon, Jacob Two Two, Babar, Spliced, etc - they’re all Canadian too.

Because Canada’s censors are far more lax compared to American ones, Canada has made huge strides in teen and adult animation. Such shows include Total Drama, 6teen, Detentionaire, Undergrads, Producing Parker, etc as well as the movie Heavy Metal.

Also because of the lax censors, Canadian cartoons had positive LGBTQ representation far before the United States did. One episode of 6teen has a character stating “I’m gay,” and in Braceface, the main character assists her gay friend in finding a boyfriend. Unsurprisingly, these episodes never aired in the US.

6teen also dealt with periods before Turning Red, Baymax, and Molly McGee did it (again, the episode was banned in the US).

Finally, here are a few Canadian cartoons I recommend, and where to watch them:

Cybersix (it was a Canadian and Japanese co-production). The whole thing is on TMS’ YouTube channel.

Redwall is on Pluto, and there are episodes of it on YouTube courtesy of Treehouse Direct

Toad Patrol (unfortunately you’re gonna have to resort to low quality YouTube uploads)

Silverwing - again, the complete series is on YouTube

Detentionaire- On Tubi and Pluto!

Ruby Gloom is a great show if you like cute gothic stuff; it too is on Tubi and Pluto

The Adventures of Sam and Max: Freelance Police - on Tubi

One of my favorites, The Raccoons. Basically the Canadian equivalent to The Simpsons, and with a banger ending song. The show’s production company has uploaded episodes of it for free on YouTube.

The original Clone High was animated by the legendary Nelvana (if you’re wondering, the new season is not outsourced to Canada 😔) It is on Paramount Plus and HBO Max

Undergrads - yet again on YouTube, in low quality unfortunately. Like Clone High, it was on MTV.

I also recommend watching some short films from the National Film Board of Canada. My personal favorite is the Log Driver’s Waltz.

Tl;dr - American cartoons are not bad because of Allen Gregory, anime is not bad because of Pupa, and Canadian cartoons are not bad because of Johnny Test or fart jokes.

I had a bunch of excess cream cheese and a big can of pumpkin so last night I made muffins and bread! They’re also gluten free! :)

Also I made the Apple Blood cocktail that Dana posted the recipe for in a stream a while ago

It’s pretty fantastic I gotta say. It’s warm and spicy and reminds me of fall… it’d be a great Halloween drink

I think Tommy’s death was a trauma within itself. It feels strange to say that about the non-violent passing of a pet but the whole thing fucked me up in a way I haven’t recovered from.

My best friend of 6 years. The only real purpose in my life in that moment. Missing her insulin and evening meal for the first time. Searching for her for hours, finally going to bed at 1 am, assuming she just needed to hide for a while because she’d been through so much lately. Waking up to find her food hasn’t been touched. She’s missing her second dose of insulin and she hasn’t eaten. She’s in bad shape. I need to find her. I can’t find her. She’s not meowing like she usually does when she’s stuck somewhere. She’s a screamer. That’s how my dad found her in the rafters when she was a kitten. Finally I get on my hands and knees to look in the hole behind the water heater and she’s there, lying under the water heater, obviously dead and had been for 12 hours. Her eyes are open. Her mouth is open. I touch her and she’s stiff and cold. I carry my cat upstairs in full rigor mortis and I know she died alone sometime during the early evening the previous day and I had slept while she went into rigor across the house. I sit next to her and I cry. I call my mom and I’m crying so hard I cannot breathe and she says she’s jumping in her car and I should call my dad and talk to him while she’s driving. I call my dad and he says she’s been sick for a while and it’s probably been coming for a while and I should get a new cat. I hate him. I hate that man in the moment. I’m sitting next to my dead, stiff, cold best friend who had mouth surgery days prior and he’s telling me to get a new one. A new Tommy. Such a thing can never fucking exist. And it never will. And the reason I woke up in the morning, my purpose in life, to give her her meds and feed her and love her. Gone.

I don’t think I’ve recovered mentally. I disassociated so heavily afterwards and I’m still not myself. The whole Daphne bullshit did not help the healing. I love Philomena and Odette but they’re not Tommy. Nothing will ever be Tommy again. That is the permanence of death. A closed door on your favorite room.

“I’m obsessed with you.”

Then I’m sure you wouldn’t mind if I slid myself into your lap, threaded my fingers through your hair and used the other hand to draw your own to my waist.

Ah- careful, I’m tickl- well. You know.

And I know just how much you like that, so why don’t we spend some time together and see if I can’t get you to obsess a little over my laugh, too?
