#I do miss when this side of the simpsons community here on Tumblr was more moe focused in like 2018/19

[moestavern]

How do you feel about other Moe fans?

My favorite type of person tbh.

There's not a lot of Simpsons fan content (I only use Tumblr + Bluesky so like- maybe there is on Twitter or smthn) so I appreciate the hell out of anyone that's willing to produce more Moe content!! I'm trying to build my confidence in posting my own art + writing.

I wish I interacted with more ppl that appreciate him like I do bc this 7 year long obsession with him has driven me to madness and when I talk about him most ppl are like "🤨 ok freak" /j

Why did you last feel like crying? This past weekend I was just extra moody and on the verge of tears.

How long ago and why did you last feel infuriated? I get easily irritated and frustrated, but it’s been awhile since I’ve felt infuriated.

Do emotions control you or do you control your emotions? My emotions got control over me a few years ago and I haven’t been able to gain it back. :/

Do you keep your friends secrets/private information to yourself? Yes.

What negative quality do your friends bring up the most? I wouldn’t want friends who did that. I do that enough myself as it is, I don’t need anyone else pointing out all my negative qualities all the time.

What quality do you think you have that others don’t think you do? I don’t know. I feel like people in my life overestimate my abilities rather than the other way around. I feel a lot of pressure to maintain that illusion. <<< Same in regards to feeling like people overestimate my abilities. Although, in terms of the long list of negative qualities I believe I have, my loved ones would disagree on a lot of them.

Do you often “jump” to conclusions? Yeppp. Always the worst ones, too.

Do you find being alone with strangers scary, interesting or indifferent? It could be scary depending on the situation, but I’d definitely feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Do you think you know a lot about the world? There’s a lot more I don’t know.

Do you know first aid?   No. 

Does the sight of blood make you feel sick? Y Yes. It makes me feel weak. I can’t even look when having blood drawn and getting it done makes me sweaty and weak.

Does your first name have an L in it? Nope.

Middle name have a C in it? Nope.

Last name have a R in it? Yes.

Do your initials spell a legitimate word? If so, what?  Nope. The word above, does it have any connection to you at all? 

Do you prefer classic rock or nope alternative? Nope alternative?

Do you like Kings of Leon? Yeah. I loved when Sex on Fire first came out.

How about The Script? Yes.

Does crying make you feel better? Sometimes.

Do you know a girl called Becca? Nope.

How about a guy called Gregory? No.

Does someones background effect whether you’ll be friends with them or not Uh, well yeah. Like if they have a sketchy background or have done things I’m not comfortable with.

How about their religious background? I’d have a problem with a satanist or if they were involved in a cult.

If someone admitted cheating in a past relationship of theirs, would you trust them? That would likely make things complicated, but I guess it would depend on the situation. Although, you’re likely just getting their side of it and it may not be accurate or they’re leaving things out that paint them in a better light than their ex. It would just really, really depend on the situation and it’d take a lot of communication.

Do you drink tea and/or coffee every day? Coffee, yes.

Did you ever want to be a cook as a kid? No.

How about a fashion designer? No.

Do you wish that magic was real? I mean sure it’d be dope to make something you want appear or happen whenever you want. It could also be tricky, though, and used for the wrong reasons.

What food would you love to wipe off the face of the earth? I’m picky, so there’s a lot of foods I don’t like, but plenty of other people enjoy them so I’m not going to wipe it off the earth just cause I don’t like it.

Can you use a bottle opener? Yeah...

Do you own a cheese grater? Nope.

What time will it be in 38 minutes time? 4:26AM.

What day/date will it be in 11 days time? May 25th. Damn.

Have you ever owned a pet fish? Y Yep. I had a fish tank full of fish as a kid.

Do you prefer fire or ice? Fire in terms of bonfires and in a fireplace for the comfy, coziness of it and I love the smell of it during the fall. I don’t use ice in my drinks, so, not a big fan.

Do you rap along with rap songs? Ha, well my attempt to rap along.

When happy, do you become more talkative? Yeah.

Bowling or sailing? Why? Bowling I guess if I had to pick out of the two. Have no interest in either one, though.

What colour is your kettle? I don’t have one.

How about your microwave? Black.

Do you prefer sitting in the front or back of a car? Front.

How about in a train? On the bus? I’ve always had to sit in the middle on buses cause that’s where the wheelchair spots are.

Do you care about politics? I admit that I really haven’t been following closely these past few years. I used to pay more attention, but I just... can’t. It’s too much.

Obama or Bush?

Blair or Brown?

When did you last cook something from scratch? I don’t cook from scratch. The only cooking I do is packaged ramen.

What things make you jealous? Im rarely jealous. <<< Same. I feel envy more than jealousy.

Do you think the censors/fcc go a bit too far or are just right?  I am confused as to why it’s okay certain curse words but not others. And I really don’t get why in “asshole” just the “hole” part is bleeped out lol. Do you feel hungry, thirsty, sleepy or none of the above?  Right now I’m just sleepy.

Do you eat fish often? Never. I hate seafood. <<<< Saaaame.

Have you ever taken a martial art? Which one{s}? Nope.

Do you know anyone who is scared of you? I can’t imagine anyone being afraid of me, a stick thin, super shy, and awkward af girl. haha.

What person who has died would you bring back and why? I wouldn’t mess around with bring people back from the dead. I believe I’ll see them again one day.

Do you like watermelon? Yeah. I couldn’t tell you the last time I had any, though.

Can you remember the month of your first kiss? October. I remember that because it happened at my high school drama department’s haunted house. 

Do you make friends easily? No. I also don’t try to to be honest.

What makes you different from everyone else? DNA <<< Hahaha welp that most certainly does.

I give you a piece of paper. What do you draw/write on it? I’d do random doodles and write random words in cursive cause that’s what I do when I doodle.

What pictures or photos are up in your lounge? Is that like the living room? If so, we have a few framed photos on the shelves we have.

Do you like purple and white patterned things? Sure.

Do you know anyone called Pipa? No.

I say purple, you think… It’s my mom’s favorite color.

What do you think is the most interesting thing about you? Nothing.

Do you like being complimented or does it make you uncomfortable? They’re nice, I’m just super awkward.

Does the description of your starsign correspond with your personality? Nope. I’m so opposite of how a Leo is described.

Do you have a photo album? Yeah, several old photo albums (physical ones) and several on Facebook and my phone.

What artists paintings do you find the most beautiful? I don’t necessarily go for beauty in art. My favourite painters are Dali, Kandinsky, and Klimt. Weird over beauty for me. <<< That’s how I am. One of my favorites is The Scream by Edvard Munch. I like the melting clocks one by Dali, too.

What about the most disturbing? Hmm. There’s definitely paintings I’ve seen that I thought were disturbing, but of course I can’t think of a specific one at the moment.

Have you ever gone to a camp or summer school? I’ve been to two camps: science camp and Girl Scout camp. I also had to do summer school once in the 6th grade cause I missed a lot of school due to spending months in the hospital and at home after having surgery. I voluntarily took a few summer classes in college.

What was your favourite cartoon as a child? A lot of the stuff that was on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, PBS, WB Kids, and Saturday morning cartoons on ABC.

Do you like what you see in the mirror? Nopeee.

Can you remember all your past teachers names? Not all of them, but a lot of them.

Do you like talent shows? Which ones? I enjoyed when we had talent show assemblies in elementary school. Those were fun.

Have you ever failed an important exam? In what? Yes, in math.

Do you find people taller than you intimidating? Just about everyone is taller than me.

Do you think you are better than people of a different country/background? Wow, absolutely not. I don’t think I’m better than anyone.

What’s your favourite thing about your country? We have our issues and I know other countries make fun of us, but we have a lot of good qualities and I like where I’m from.

Do you listen to the same type of music as your parents? What type is that? We like a lot of the same, yeah. Especially my mom and I.

What TV show scared you as a kid? Are You Afraid of the Dark haha but I also loved to watch it. That intro is what really got me. Oh, and Unsolved Mysteries. That was a show about real life mysteries and murders and such. 

Family Guy, The Simpsons or South Park? Why? Out of the three I’d pick Family Guy, but I’m not into any of them. My family loves Family Guy so I see parts of episodes here and there all the time and I’m familiar with it. Sometimes it’ll give me a little chuckle.

This Young Justice: Outsiders review contains spoilers.

Young Justice Season 3 Episode 22

"Terminus" is, plot-wise, probably the biggest "Oh shit" episode of a fairly momentous season for Young Justice. It's substantially narrowed from the most recent run up - there's really only an A-plot, with a B-story for Black Lightning that I suspect is just positioning him for the climax of the season. And in that A-Plot: 

- The League gets enslaved by Granny Goodness and Anti-Life.

- Vandal Savage flips on Apokalips and sells out Halo's location.

- The team booms to the Orphanage in space to save Halo.

- They find out that X-Pit exposure is extremely unhealthy for non-metas in a way that it isn't for metas.

- They fail pretty spectactularly at their rescue, and become slaves to Anti-Life themselves.

And yet, the most significant part of the episode, the biggest bump that lands, is the hug between Tigress and Nightwing. It speaks to the skill of the creative team - the writers, crew, and performers - that "evil Justice League" is subsumed by me wondering if I'm really crying because the original Young Justice team is sad and misses Kid Flash.

The plot isn't really more complicated than that. The League gets barely any fight in at all before they're taken. Savage almost literally rings the team's doorbell before giving them Halo's location, and his only request in exchange for the information is "MAKE SURE GRANNY KNOWS WHO SENT YOU." Dick is still hobbled by X-Pit fever, and thanks to smart plotting by the show's creative team, he is joined by the original team and a hallucination of Wally West as they hold off a gang of parademons, a pair of Female Furies, and new Apokaliptian recruit Mantis while Terra, Geoforce and Forager try and find Halo. We're treated to a montage of straight up classic Young Justice villain asswhupping, including season one costumes and theme music (and GREAT, GREAT switches from the voice actors).

These are the little things that this show does so well. This is clearly nostalgic. The fight is a little on the zany side, a clear contrast to the pre-fever dream ass kicking happening around Dick. But when they finish with the bad guys and the fever breaks, we realize that's his defense mechanism and Miss Martian tells him that Dick broadcast the dream to everyone on the team, and as Artemis hugs him, it's really hard not to miss Wally too. The show makes you remember the growth without feeling exploitative or trashy in any way.

The next most effective part of the episode plays with that same skill: the show has gently been building a criticism of Batman over a couple of seasons now, both explicit (in Oracle's conversation with him last week) and explicit (in its treatment and in-universe criticism of Miss Martian's brainwashing last season). The show doesn't have any easy answers for Miss Martian this week - her psi blasts are treated as a necessary evil in a life or death situation for trillions as she and Superboy argue about them in the Orphanage. But they do present a different idea for Nightwing. Again using Conor as a foil, Superboy pushes Dick to be a better and different leader than Batman, critiquing the secrecy and manipulation and echoing the heart of Barbara's argument. But here he's making it to Nightwing, who is (for those who haven't lost sight of it, Batman included) the true promise of Batman's mission. Dick is a natural leader for the entire hero community, someone who's worked with and is respected by everyone, capable but with the emotional and logical distance to avoid obsession and potentially carry out the hero life in an emotionally healthy manner. It's amazing and wonderful to see that Young Justice gets this about Dick Grayson, because I'm not certain the folks running the comics do...

OUTSIDER TRADING TIPS

- The Black Lightning arc is almost entirely setup - it's just him moping about his betrayal by Helga Jace until he ends up with his meta-curious kids presumably just in time to take them to save everyone and learn about having no choice with powers? We'll see. But also, it's more of that crappy motion-comic animation, which *really* needs to stop. It's the lone blemish on a great episode.

- The Green Lanterns give us a cornucopia of references this week. The construct they put around the Orphanage is a giant Green Lantern symbol. We've also got John Stewart and Hal Jordan in addition to Guy Gardner, but Hal has salt and pepper sides. That has been explained in the comics as a side effect of Parallax possession. Could that be the case here?

- Also get our first look at Young Justice Elongated Man, which is just wonderful.

-The crew fighting the old team is Lashina, Gilotina and Mantis.

- That was a nice quick cut - when Granny is listing all the terrible things that have happened to Geoforce, trying to get him to lose his cool and she says "your trust betrayed by a confidante," we jump the camera over to Terra who turns into the dog with shifty eyes from The Simpsons.

- Dear lord, am I the only one who caught the sound effect when M'Gann put her phone away? Because if what I think is true...just gross, man.

- Is that Wally's ghost watching the dog sleep?
