#HE HAS MY HEART RACING

I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.
it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"
plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.
anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.
#blazing saddles#finx watches tv#finx rambles#I recognize that I'm saying all this as someone who's not black#but I am also saying it as someone with a basic understanding of race relations in the usa#and a basic understanding of sarcasm#bc it really does not take more than that to recognize what they're doing in this movie#it is NOT subtle#and it is very funny#mel brooks movies are kinda hit or miss for me ngl#men in tights is great if a bit too crass for my taste#spaceballs has great jokes but the central story lacks any real heart so it doesn't grab me#history of the world was just kind of unpleasant and then I switched it off#but blazing saddles? phenomenal#I could not stop laughing the whole way through#and the central story DOES have heart bc it's the friendship between bart and#whassisname#jim#the Kid#plus bart working out how to succeed at an impossible task#also frankly cleavon little just grounds the comedy really well even before gene wilder shows up and we get their chemistry#bc he's cool calm collected and constantly inviting the audience into the joke#but the character's not too cool to ever mess up or ever be silly#he makes bad choices and gets into bad situations and then has to get himself out of them#but it's.....oh wait duh there's a term for this already#he's the straight man#he grounds all the zany nonsense by being in strong contrast to it#and he does a great job of it!#anyway#point is I deeply enjoyed this movie and I'm glad I finally watched it

when people refer to canon story-relevant kingdom hearts games as ‘spinoffs’ it makes me sad not only for the obvious reasons i always say but also bc like man i WISH this series had spinoffs. imagine what they could do if they had permission from nomura to truly go off the rails and ignore the greater canon for a second and just do some fun whimsical plotless thing in an alternate universe. imagine a fishing/boating game on destiny islands. kh fighting game. it is an injustice that we have been deprived of kingdom karts. can anyone hear me
#in terms of alternate gameplay and lack of reliance on plot#i feel like melody of memory is the closest thing kh has actually had to a spinoff#but even that is important in its own way in the end#union cross to a certain degree as well what with being an online multiplayer gacha type game#its original concept i would definitely classify as a spinoff game#bc it was set in a totally different world and time period and was supposed to be about customization and fun with friends#and nomura or someone said it wasn’t meant to be connected to the plot#but then like. he did very much go and give it a plot. like he went back on that almost immediately#and even then. given that the game is still very much combat and exploration#even from the beginning can it really be called a spinoff? it’s just kh in a different format#i’m talking like a game in which the objective is something totally different.#racing game or cooking game or fighting game or (another) rhythm game#ace attorney style detective game. dancing game. dude i don’t know#there are so many different flavors they could go with here#alas nomura is allergic to genuine whimsy which is hilarious given that this is a disney series#like he apparently was like ‘ohhh should we really let sora in smash? would it make sense in the story?’#my brother in christ surely we’re not supposed to interpret this as canon to kh right? right????#i guess it’s just that the kh franchise has a very specific pristine vibe he wants to maintain#which is disney shenanigans as a seasoning on top of a main dish of Stone Cold Serious Anime Plot#kingdom hearts#kh#mine: kh

Wouldn’t it be just horrifying for the guardians of the Silent Realm in Skyward Sword to be corrupted by either malice or gloom from BotW/TotK and thus looking essentially like the blights that killed the champions?
And wouldn’t it be so fun to make Sky and Wild have to face that horrible combination of what’s probably somewhere in the top five of their worst nightmares?
Just imagine it, the Silent Realm bleeding through into the regular realm on Skyloft. The color slowly draining away into that haunting bluish-grey of the Silent Realm. Eerie bells ringing in the air. Gloom seeping onto the floor, because the Silent Realm has been corrupted, and it’s no longer a place Hylia has any control over.
The guardians of the Silent Realm with gloom covered weapons, eyes dripping gloom from them, and bodies becoming more and more coated in gloom as the guardians flicker in and out of view near the Light Tower on Skyloft.
And then the guardians awaken. You know, the guardians that have never been fought before and therefore have no known method of defeating them?
Yeah :)
#as if the botw guardians getting corrupted and killing wild weren’t enough#now wild has to deal with ss guardians getting corrupted#let’s hope he doesn’t die this time#the silent realms are fucking terrifying you guys#my heart races each time im playing through one#sky absolutely has nightmares about the silent realm#legend of zelda#linked universe#lu wild#lu sky#has anyone else noticed how the shape of ss guardians looks eerily similar to the different ganon blights in botw#because i noticed it#i mean tell me if im delusional but#splash a little gloom or malice onto a ss guardian and you’ve got a mini blight#like this idea? go read my fic on ao3#it’s called numinous#and im putting this horrifying thing in chapter ten#you can find me on ao3 under the name mx_nymph#if you really want to go read something that includes this concept

Dazai is the type of man who'd have Chuuya holding him up by his collar and shamelessly say “I do love chibis who can beat me up” and then proceed to get released, ew-ed at by Chuuya who is embarrassed for him, then trail after said pm executive because he’s trying to steal his wallet.
C’mon, he meow-ed at a man once. Let Kunikida repeatedly throttle him around. Agreed to get stabbed to be saved Snow White-style.
He so would 😭
#this man knows what he wants#odasaku and ango were so concerned when he started rambling about chuuya during their drinking days#dazai: and i saw chuuya tear a man's arm off and i got so annoyed my heart started racing-#oda and ango who understands he has a crush: 👁️👄👁️#bungou stray dogs#bsd#bsd shitpost#bsd dazai#dazai osamu#osamu dazai#bsd chuuya#chuuya nakahara#bungou gay dogs#skk#soukoku

The idea of Deku going to Bakugou, who's probably aroace, for love advice regarding Rody is so funny to me.
"I dunno Kacchan, I feel like there's butterflies in my stomach whenever we talk!"
"Then digest them?? Tf??"
#i do think he finds it funny whenever deku fumbles around rody#god i love bakugou and deku's friendship#i almost wrote deku as dekugo#i#i think i may need to go to sleep#THE POWER OF RODYDEKU KEEPS AWAKE RAHHHHHHHH#i feel like todoroki actually has a similar reaction accept he's being genuine while bakugou's just being a bitch#deku saying his heart races and his face feels warm whenever he sees rody and todoroki is convinced he has an illness#todoroki and bakugou talking about this be like#todoroki: is he sick?#bakugou: worse#mha#my hero academia#rody soul#rodydeku#izuku midoriya#deku#bakugou#katsuki bakugou#bnha#rody

I'm extremely late for 1/1 but it's still January!!! Say hello to my human au Thomas design!! This has been on the back-burner for months but at least I've finally done it. While I can't say he's the oldest person around, he's definitely been with NWR the longest- he practically grew up in it! Though, he doesn't look like it...
Perhaps it's for the best. No one can handle Tall Thomas.
#live from tidmouth#creative on the mainline#ttte#thomas and friends#rws#the railway series#ttte thomas#thomas the tank engine#ttte edward#ttte gordon#ttte human#ttte human au#ttte humanized#ttte humanisation#tall thomas is a reoccurring nightmare gordon has alongside biblically accurate e2#thomas and edward are forever bros in my heart so they live together.#thomas has ridden edwards bike once tho instead of edward. he raced bertie to work and edward was hanging on for dear life

"Kingdom Hearts is so complicated" "Nomura made it up as he went along" "KH makes no sense" Have you considered that Riku is 15 and autistic and gay bc if you do I think itll change things
#domt get me wrong a lot of kh is fucking ridiculous and some of it is way too complex but like#bare bones? Rikus motivations are so real to me like Riku is such a realised character#Giving him hugs#If sora at any point in the game was like “Riku youre my best friend and i value you” nothing wouldve ever happened /hj#Obviously overhearing the dock convo with Kairi definitely triggered a fight or flight response in him#and him being like “Winner gets to get with Kairi 😼” and then as soon as the race is over being like “lol it was just a joke bro haha”#And him trying so hard to be a cool guy (which works tbf bc sora idolises him but is still evident)#Him tossing Sora a paopu and sayin “c'mon. you know you want to try it.” eithout ever saying Kairi to test the waterz#his main priority after opening the door to darkness being making sure Sora comes with him and feeling betrayed when he doesnt#and then in traverse town running when Sora has the chance to abandon him for his new friends#and then maleficent is like Lol he replaced u <3 and riku is gay and autistic and 15 about it#I care so deeply about kh1 riku. Hes just a little guy and he just needed a hug#apollo says stuff#UGHHHH#Its feeling so so sad about Riku Kingdom hearts hours#riku kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts#kh riku#soriku#beverly says stuff

2024 Singapore GP | x
#hi everyone I'm sorry I vanished for a few days#this weekend has been hard here with irl family things and in my heart in the world of F1#I feel so so so so much for Daniel and I keep riding a roller coaster of anger that RBR let this happen and sorrow if this is it#then I swing back to hope#not just in 2025 (which I still believe in!!)#but that he can find joy and fufillment and love somewhere better#he deserves so much better than the callously cruel weekend from a sport he's given so much of his life to#I'll be a Daniel fan no matter where he goes next#but my trust in RBR is irrevocably shattered as it is for many (not that I had much to begin with!)#but he was thrown to the wolves and I'm just so angry and heartbroken this happened#but then the possible last lap of his potential last race given to Max#thank you Daniel#and I'm hopeful til the end#I hope he gets what he wants but he deserves so much love#and seeing the love from fans and the people in his life who DO care#I'm a newer fan but I have become so fond for Daniel so much and the anticipation is killing me#let him and fans have peace (even if the goal is Checo retiring after the Mexico GP then at least give some closure for the month between)#just a hard weekend#and the FIA absurdity with Max too ugh#and Carlos' crash in quali ahhh just an awful weekend#with that and an overwhelming family weekend I just couldn't bring myself to post anything#but thank you everyone for this space#I need to catch up but I have seen so many folks echo how I feel#it is upsetting and needless and uncerimonious and cruel#I'll be hopeful forever there is a chance#but Daniel deserves to be happy and RBR proved how heartless of a place they can be#I'll savor the silver linings of Max and Daniel's bond and those on the team who lifted him up#I'll be away again for a work event today but I looked around insta a bit last night#I'll post and tag for the GP if anyone wants to not see it!! still hurts but it'll all be okay in time I know it ❤️#autumn posts

My thoughts on Way after three episodes can be summed up by:
He "loves" Babe so much that he's out here messing with his mind and causing him to lose races. And, if the preview is to be trusted, he learned nothing from Babe losing in this episode and is gonna keep up the mind fuckery and then he's gonna crash. He's doing all this, possibly has been for 10 years, and Babe still doesn't want him. Give it up Deelisish!
Can his future man show up like now? Can he get some dick? Cause he needs some dick and it's never gonna be from Babe. lol
#pit babe#pit babe the series#like my god#I've gone from being like#he's so pathetic but he has reason to distrust Charlie#to#he really didn't actually have anything to go on about Charlie#yeah Charlie is shady but he doesn't get credit for finding that out cause he only cares cause he's jealous#and when he did find it out was he nice to his bestie he's in love with#his bestie he's in love with who whole ass has Charlie's name in his phone with a heart emoji#no he's like WE DON'T LOVE OR TRUST ANYONE JUST US#and is fucking with the money now by messing with Babe's head before a race#and may be responsible for him whole ass crashing???#and like nah#NAH#babe doesn't love you way he's never gonna love you let it go#best friends don't sabotage their friend's happiness cause they're mad they can't get his dick instead#ooo I'm heated#I'm literally about to get violent#I'm having so much fun yelling at my laptop during this show lol#regular clyde

#the man does not look like hes in his 40s when hes on that race track#i dont think and this might be controversial but i really dont think any other driver on the grid enjoys the sport as much as he does & has#also him and max just being so friendly and joking and respectful and chill with each other warms my heart sm#canadian gp 2023#f1#fernando alonso#max verstappen#formula 1
