#“why are you watching kid cartoons?”

[stinky-ahh-gay]

Rewatching Voltron while watching ATLA for the first time is another level of insanity, and omg i need sleep

[hikarry]

Only David Tennant would be strong enough to ever make me watch something as rubbish as Peppa Pig

And, dear Lord, is he about to do it

Help a college student graduate by answering a survey!!

Hey!! Are you over 18 and in the miraculous fandom? Then this is for you!!

Hi everyone, this is my last semester of uni, and one of my final projects to be able to graduate is to write a scientific paper. I'm writing an article about adult fans of children's animation, specifically Miraculous Ladybug. My goal is to understand what makes adults (like us) want to join fandoms centered around shows aimed primarily at children, and to do that I'd love to hear directly from the source! The survey takes around 10 minutes to answer, it's 100% anonymous and it would help me immensely!

>>Click here for the survey<<

I need at least 30 people to answer, but honestly the more the merrier! I've also made a little thank you gif at the end, so if you see it let me know! If you have any questions feel free to send me an ask, as well!

Please reblog so it can reach more people! Thank you so much!

Benny would be thrilled by Nick Valentine. Like I know the concept of synths and replacing people would initially shock him but I don’t think for long.

He’s not a technology guy by any means but he certainly appreciates it and understands what it can do. He’d be pro-synth and synths at people for purely pragmatic reason at first but seeing some noir detective would have him thinking of all the ways he could improve on his plan if he had that tech for Yes-Man.

If Yes-Man could pass as human he’d have no reason to hide him and could even have him buddy up with the rest of the Chairmen! Even if he’s found out and House wants him and especially synth Yes-Man out their is a loyalty to them that is only made stronger that Yes-Man looks like them now. It’s also such a complex thing for Yes-Man too now to struggle with “humanity” in a new context and his teacher tragic being Benny Fucking Gecko.

i mean this completely genuinely and unironically: i think adventure time is one of the best examples of a long running tv show that completely improvised literally everything about its plot every step of the way. its so impressive how well everything always ended up tying together, in such a complete way, when there wasnt a set plan from the start. and how STRONG its been going for so long without the characters becoming flanderized... with 10 seasons and two reboot sequel series, it has yet to miss! it only adds to everything its built up. adventure time consistently hits it out of the park, and i think a big part of this is because the writers are building on what was already there and doing stuff that they just genuinely think is cool. its such perfect "yes and"-ing of the plot. and it works. it works so well

hate when i see a youtube video that's like 'analyzing why [thing] is bad!' and you watch the video and they just say nothing for twenty minutes

Something I really especially love about btas is that every character is just… a human. Batman doesn't just show up and incapacitate 30 people no issue, he has to fight and brawl with just 1 or 2 henchmen. He can be taken out by hits and poisons and such. The rogues have to surrender when the cops get guns to their faces, and can be overpowered even by normal people. Joker isn't some pure evil incarnation of the Devil or whatever, he's just… a really bad man. Same for every other villain and character. And Bruce actually gets to show personality and emotion beyond Brooking and Grunting. He makes jokes and laughs and gets sad.

I'm really getting to understand why people call this the best Batman adaptation.

replies on that “are there too many kids in adult-oriented fandoms” poll are crazy

“what even is an adult-oriented fandom?” its a fandom for content made for adults

“if it’s not porn than who gives a shit” media can be adult-oriented and inappropriate for young kids to interact with without being explicitly pornographic

“you guys pay attention the ages of randoms on tumblr?” it turns out you can get a vibe for how old the OP of a post is by reading the words they write since kids and adults do in fact speak differently

Update regarding last night's post: My brother (age 13, definitely has heard worse when he went to public school) has now been banned from watching Spy X Family because of the "language".

If you want evidence that my mom is an absolute whackjob, she willingly let him watch Deadpool and Venom when he was in elementary school.

was refreshing myself on some old myth for a bit and i read the french and english wiki page for the Charybdis' mythos, and i'm noticing something that i don't know if it's just the wiki being inaccurate or an actual difference (from the linguistic page it seems to be an actual difference) but

In English there's this expression about choosing between two equally bad horrible situations by saying "choosing between Scylla and Charybdis"

But in French the expression is "to fall from Charybdis to Scylla" and instead of a choice it's about managing to get out of a horrible situation only to get thrown into an even worse situation (the equivalent of the English's expression ""falling out of the frying pan into the fire")

if i believe the linguistic page there was a bit of borrowing around and technically both expressions are used in both language, but you're more likely to find the first one in English and the second one in French (very likely because Victor Hugo popularized "to fall from Charybdis to Scylla" with Les Misérables) (does not mean it started in French the origin of the expression is still Greek anyway, just talking about why the saying is more popular in French with weirdos like me)

idk i think it's cool on a sort of metatextual perspective that English People saw this myth and when "oof imagine picking between those two" while French people just chugged a bottle of wine and went "And it's a BINGO and LIFE SUCKS and it NEVER GETS EASIER you get BOTH OF THEM BABEYYY"

hb no longer being a comedy is such a weird complaint or i guess more specifically characters no longer being just comedy relief (aka stolas) or not keeping up the episode format of 3 imps go to the human world to kill people

to me the weird part is that this show pretty quickly established as far back as the second episode that it was never just gonna be that. it was never gonna be just a pure comedy and stolas was never gonna be just comedic relief

and tbh if the show did stay like that it would've been the most boring shit ever and you know it

its also wild because don't people want adult cartoons that aren't just solely dumb jokes ?
