#I know this is the piss on the poor website but Jesus Christ

[cowlisthenics]

Ok but like why is everyone just believing that Jon and Martin are dead. In the show where there's entire fears dedicated to misinformation and manipulation, we're just going to believe that both Jon and Martin conveniently both died 20 years ago, in two completely separate accidents. We're just gonna go with that and not question it at all. We know at least one fear survived in some form because a tape recorder freaking bit someone, but the idea that the entity most connected to the tape recorders couldn't have some followers that faked some obituaries on the internet never occurred to anyone?

I'm not even saying this because I want them to be alive because frankly I think it would be hilarious if it were true. But if they're dead I'd bet my entire ass it wasn't from a cycling "accident" and it wasn't two completely separate events. And there's been like multiple episodes dedicated to doppelgängers and replacements to the point it feels almost hamfisted. There's literally been an insane amount of actual character dialogue summed up with "don't trust everything you hear on the internet" and people are screaming crying throwing up because a google search said they died. I'm actively losing my mind.

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts saying “We shouldn’t be clowning on James Somerton fans right now! They didn’t know he was a grifter!” and while I do understand the sentiment here and agree that no one needs to be, like, self-flagellating about it, there is DEFINITELY a conversation that needs to be had about how, for years, James Somerton spouted misogynistic, lesbophobic, sinophobic, etc. rhetoric to an audience of almost entirely queer people and went pretty much unchallenged until now.

You can’t separate the fans from Somerton’s beliefs here; fans who saw these videos and were aware of what was said in them were, at least, totally cool with not confronting all this bigotry and didn’t see it as a deal-breaker. And that IS something they need to look inwards about right now.

look i understand that people often have problems telling if something is satire or sarcasm, but you cannot possibly be asking "is this real? :OO" on an article about. the Very Rich Guy foundation reporting that literally everyone in china is in prison. i'm sorry you cannot be serious. i know this is the piss poor reading comprehension website but jesus fucking christ.

[grouchythefish]

Cannot stop thinking about this character in [MEDIA REDACTED] who was bisexual and was specifically portrayed in the source material as someone who enjoyed dating and flirting and used this to gain information

....

And the 10 million thousand tumblr posts I saw everyday back then that were essentially "UGGGHH I hate when fan artists and writers portray [CHARACTER] as enjoying dating and flirting and using this to gain information. It's biphobic and if you portray this character as anything other than chaste and monogamous you are a homophobe!!!!"

Like I know this is the piss on the poor website but Jesus Christ.

[cartoon-buffoon]

Its about that time of the month where I get obsessed with a fictional man who is a total piece of shit and this month's furry cartoon man is—

God do I hate Fritz... Like, this dude is a fucking sucks and is piece of shit who deserves to be thrown in a meat grinder yet at the same time I love him.

Also a ramble/review but I watched the first Fritz the cat movie and the sequel which is dubbed "The Nine lives of Fritz the cat". Both movies are easily available to watch on a very public website that I will not disclose due to I do not want either of them taken down (just do a quick Google search and you'll see the website I'm talking about, also donate to that said website!!! It's been a life saver for finding certain films, cartoons, or old books) anyways: Jesus Christ the first movie disturbed me in a way that I haven't felt in awhile. The third act of the first movie particularly fucked me up because it brought up some trauma and I had to pause and come back due to a certain scene (if you know you know). I still liked the first movie despite EVERYTHING it has as it actually does somewhat try and give some commentary or satire on stuff— I also do see why Robert Crumb despised the first movie because of the whole painting leftists as bad thing, I can see his point of view—It does a good job on making you look back into how different times were of the 60s too. That's about all I'm gonna say about the content of the first movie because there is A LOT, and I mean A LOT of stuff that I'm not qualified to talk about, and I ain't gonna pretend I'm qualified to talk about it. I am not that guy/girl. As for the second movie?... I honestly don't have fucking anything to say about the second movie it's a quite literal drug trip because the entire plot is a drug trip, and honestly I'm trying to forget it. It's like they took the first movie and it's 3 loosely chained together plots that have NOTHING to do with each other and went "let's chain even more things that have nothing to do with each other and tie it all together by the fact that it's all one giant weed induced hallucination". I'm aware it's like an anthology movie but that doesn't stop it from being a piss poor one. Idk only watch the first one if you want anything of substance really and even if you do watch the second one get ready for a clusterfuck of a film. Oh and if you're gonna watch the first heed all the warnings you see in reviews of it because as the poster and marketing for the first one says: "we're not ain't rated X for nothin' baby!"

Like seriously there is a lot of stuff—adult stuff—people probably still won't be okay viewing and if you aren't valid I just watched it for the sake of my own animation history loving heart.

another day, another pro gun "Christians" swaying souls into hell by twisting the Scriptures

This one is going to be long and I know that hardly anyone will read it, but I actually do it for 1) for God who explicitly told me to "do my part" and 2)the 1% of Christians who are actually dedicated to follow Christ and not trample the word of God because of their sinful entitlement to murder.

If even one (1) person reading this actually changes their mind on gun violence than it will be a Grace from the Lord and I am glad of being a useful servant of Christ.

I'm going to call out the misquote, dishonesty and LIES of typical pro gun Christians. Since tumblr isn't really handy for text formatting I'm going to color code every "chapter" of the exposé to smoothen up the read

Israelites prerogatives ≠ Christian prerogatives

The bigger picture

Jesus is the Sword - not guns

God is the only self-defense

Let's begin ! ✝️💙

1. Israelites prerogatives ≠ Christian prerogatives

I'll tackle down the tumblr user reply to the ask later, to focus on the link she posted as a "pretty well done exploration" as of why gun violence is seemingly a-OK to Christians.

I'd like to start off saying that every Christian using Old Testament Prescriptions to legitimize the use of violence to CHRISTIANS is either, uneducated about basic Christian theology, a liar, a false prophet or a maybe everything at once. That's why this website quoting plentiful of OT (=Old Testament) prescriptions FIRST is a very bad omen forecasting the piss poor theology that's going to unfold in that page.

Israelites had to abide to specific rules and commandments that matched their own very specific purpose : they had to fight/go to WAR to create the EARTHLY kingdom of God. The commandment compelling to not kill was only for Israelites (because Israelites went to war and killed cities foreign to Israel). And even within the Kindgom of Israel, there were cases where murder was allowed in situations when it was sanctioned by God to kill (those caught breaking the sabbath had to stoned, for example).

Ever since Jesus crucifixion and the veil got torn, Christians don't abide to the prescriptions of Israelites. There's no more kingdom of God on earth. There are chances that you, who's currently reading this, are living in a country with defined frontiers that you don't have to go to war to defend and/or expand (as God told you to).

We do not abide to the 613 commandments of Israelites anymore : we can eat pork (no more "impure food"), don't have to stone anyone not doing the sabbath, circumcise newborn son, etc.

Interestingly, the same Christians who use OT prescription enabling the use of violence and murder, don't feel compelled to follow the other set of commandments abiding to Israelites. They're cherry-picking what goes their way simply because they a) don't understand the Bible b)are dishonest.

Israelites had to obey to ALL commandments - disobeying to one, was like disobeying to the WHOLE Torah (James 2:10-11)

Feel entitled to Israelites rights? Fine, abide to their OBLIGATIONS, too.

You think you still have God sanctioned right to kill? Then keep that same energy for the other 600+ commandments of those having the same right : do the sabbath, circumcise your sons, stop eating pork, stone adulterous people, etc etc. You cannot be a CHRISTIAN while abiding to cherry-picked Law prerogative. You cannot have it both ways.

2. The bigger picture

In the tumblr post reply, she refers to the passage in Luke where Jesus lets his disciple arm themselves moments before he gets arrest. This passage is infamously misquoted by pro gun zealots. Their trick is that they ALWAYS disregard the second part of the story where Jesus scold the very person who used their weapon to protect him (Peter) and went as far as heal the man, which shows how dishonest they are. But that's not enough ;

In the website she linked, we reach a whole new level of Scriptural twisting dishonesty

It's interesting how this person is switching the word of the passage from "sword" to "gun". I'll elaborate on this later on the point #3, but the "sword" is a very significant symbol in the Bible, and seeing this person recklessly replace it with a "gun" truly shows how off base they are when it comes to biblical literacy. Bad theology all around.

"It is difficult to make absolute claims beyond these observations" then why quoting those passage in a pro gun defense article? If you can't draw a conclusive interpretation from that passage, what's the point of bringing it up?

Jesus giving his consent for his disciple to bring along weapons doesn't mean he endorsed their use. Jesus said "That's enough", not "That's good" or "That's right". The Bible is full of examples of God "consenting" to humans carrying on their sin up until a certain point. It doesn't mean God condoned the sin itself. And yet, many pro gun Christians use this cherry-picked passage of Jesus in Gethsemane to act like Jesus endorsed gun use.

Jesus explicitly saying ""Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword" and ""Stop! No more of this" are pretty clear, actually. The author quotes them here :

It's not that we're "getting a sense of(...)", OP. That's literally what Jesus says, that's not an impression or a feeling. What's more straightforward then saying "Stop" when witnessing a violent act? why are you acting like there was any ambiguity about the actual intention or message of Jesus saying that? There's not. Jesus doesn't want violence to happen. Period.

But you wanna know why the author is acting oblivious about the straightforwardness of those passages ? because if they admit that Jesus rebuked violence, then their stance in favor of gun violence ends up moot. So they act dumb.

Note that after that explanation, the author states : "The sword is not always the appropriate response, especially in persecution for Christ." but they miserably fail in showing in what situation using the sword is actually an "appropriate response" beside quoting the Old Testament (which I already explained in point #1 why Christians weren't entitled to OT prescriptions). And when they do quote the New Testament, they do so in a fashion that leaves out the whole picture to twist the actual message of that passage (e.g quoting Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭35‬-‭38 to act like Jesus condoned gun carrying when he allowed to do so to publicly rebuke them later and make his point known to a multitude of people)

3. Jesus is the Sword - not guns

Now I'd like to reflect on the Sword that is repeatedly used in the Bible, and what it actually represents in the Gospel (plot twist : not guns)

One fundamental staple of a sound theology is acknowledging that words usage do matter in the Bible and are particularly relevant when they are consistently rehashed through the books. The Sword is one of them.

I'd like to quote verses of the New Testament featuring the Sword

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

The Sword is SPIRITUAL. And you know who's the "Word of God"? JESUS (John 1:1 and 14)

Hebrew 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Here the God of Word is again metaphorically represented as a sharped tool ("sharper than any twoedged sword")

Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Only Jesus is entitled to carry a Sword ; because HE is the Sword. Has Jesus used a physical sword to kill people while on earth? or called his disciples to carry a physical sword? in Luke 22:35-39 in which Jesus tells them to "buy" a sword, a few moments later he rebukes the one who actually used it, so it's definitely NOT a physical sword he was talking about. Why would Jesus incite his disciples into possessing something (carrying a sword) only to scold them for using it moments later?? it doesn't make any sense. His disciples definitely got something wrong in the process (=understanding the sword as something physical, not spiritual). That's why reading Luke 22:35-36 as elevating weaponry as godly sanctioned is a total misconception.

The Sword that Jesus does bring is SPIRITUAL. He's the Sword of the Spirit that will separate His children from the rest of the flock. The joint vs the narrow. The goat vs the lamb. Heaven vs Hell.

Pro guns are misguiding people into believing that guns are the equivalent of the "sword" that's talked about in the Bible. That couldn't be more untrue.

Either those people either know that the biblical Sword = Jesus and LIE about it to project what they want into Jesus teaching, or they don't and by their ignorance, they are professing a destructive theology that's bewildering many Christians. Hosea 4:6

This person is LYING to you. That's why they obsessively resort to quote prescriptions for ISRAELITES to back up their falsehood. The Philistines aren't a thing anymore. CHRISTIANS don't have a Kingdom to protect & expand. Christians are dispatched through the Nations - there's no more united "people of YHYW nation". The only relevant kingdom to defend is THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM OF GOD.

Possession of weapons is discouraged in the sense that Christians aren't entitled to violence (see point #4). This is the same logic as acknowledging that Christians shouldn't possess porn videos because adultery is forbidden. And inb4 the comparison with knives (who can also be used a deathly weapons) : knives actually have a purpose beside hurting or killing. Normal people don't buy knive having in mind hurting someone ; therefore owning them isn't sinful.

To show you how dishonest this person is, look at them quoting Romans 12:19 that states to "NEVER take [our] revenge".

How "NEVER". is remotely compatible with "oh in some cases it's okay to use violence"?? And yet it doesn't seem to ring a bell into the author's mind. Crazy.

Then the author proceeds to make the more asinine examples of "good" use of violence

As tackled in point #1 the shady usage of Israel prescription to justify how CHRISTIANS can use violence is an instant giveaway of bad theology and should be dismissed when it comes to CHRISTIAN (not Jewish) theology

But can we also talk about the author saying that David is "not a soldier???" KING David? who spend almost his whole life FIGHTING IN WARS and building the foundation of the Kingdom of Israel?? "NOT a solider"???? .......This person can't be serious, and I'm legitimately embarrassed for anyone taking seriously anything coming from this page.

Then the author compels to use to look into worldly entertainment(??!!) for example of proper use of violence *shrugs*

The cognitive dissonance of quoting Romans 12:19 ("Never take your revenge") just after elevating -full of violence and aggressiveness- gunfight/Western movies as an example of "great virtue" is mind-blowing....

4. God is the only self-defense

The reason some Christians rely on their gun -instead of God- is because of their unfaithfulness.

They don't believe that God can protect them when needed, so instead they elevate physical weapons and shoe horn them as biblical.

They also undermine God's power by acting like beside physical violence, we cannot help people :

This couldn't be further from the truth!! There are NO EXAMPLE IN THE BIBLE OF CHRISTIANS USING VIOLENCE TO SAVE PEOPLE.

Abiding in the Lord asks for resilience and Love. Which is someone pro gun Christians desperately lack. Love is not compatible with Death.

The reason Jesus didn't resort to use violence against the men who came to arrest him (when he could) is out of obedience to the Lord. Non-violence is a direct commandment from God ; therefore Christianism is fundamentally non-violent.

Proverbs 3:31

Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways

Matthew 5:38-39

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

Therefore, every Christian defending the use of violence are disobeying God ; and every child of rebellion will end up in Hell.

No human is entitled to kill another creature of God. Their body belong to God, and we are not entitled to "steal" God's property.

TL;DR :

every Christian using Old Testament Prescriptions to legitimize the use of violence to CHRISTIANS, is either uneducated about basic Christian theology, a liar, or a false prophet

You cannot be a Christian while feeling entitled to the Law prerogative. If you want to be entitled to murder like the Israelites, then you necessarily have to abide to the same Law as them. Christians can't have it both ways : the Law is incompatible with the Grace & Salvation covenant (Romans 8)

Jesus giving his consent for his disciple to bring along weapons doesn't mean he endorsed their use. Jesus said "That's enough", not "That's good" or "That's right". The Bible is full of example of God "consenting" to humans carrying on their sin up until a certain point. It doesn't mean God condoned the sin, but rather let humans learn & grown from their mistake.

The Christian "Sword" is Jesus, not guns

The reason some Christians rely on their gun -instead of God- is because of their unfaithfulness

[queerofthedagger]

some of yall will really reblog anything no matter just HOW obviously fake it is if it be comfirming the biases and just. i know this is the pissing on the poor website but jesus fucking christ

[letmeliedown]

ofc the notes of that post are like YEAH DID U KNOW SECRET PEDOS USE THAT WORD???? like. i know this is the piss on the poor website but jesus fucking christ.

[xythlia]

something else ive noticed every few months when tumblr does this will they won't they shut down thing is it always, always makes all these fresh posts pop up about how you just absolutely have to spend money on this site and need to stop being openly critical of the way this place is run & that's just not true. you can love tumblr as a platform but also remain vocal about the numerous failures of its staff

a vast majority of this site isn't so staunchly anti-monitization for no reason. over the last year alone the censorship by staff of trans individuals on this site is at a point where u can't say it's not rooted in bigotry. why are a majority of only trans people being told their posts are inherently nsfw when it's just... them literally posting the way everyone else does? staff has whipped out never used before content moderation tools for the sole goal of nuking anyone who ever says hey this is weird as fuck in regards to that behavior/the people on staff who are just blatant terfs & freaks.

you can't go scorched earth on people and just expect them to go oh but we'll still buy the silly billy crab badge <3. not to mention it's in poor taste to rip jokes made by others on this site, turn them into profit makers, and then offer absolutely no credit to the person who's shit they're using to generate revenue.

it's been years that people have been asking them to address the issue of nazis running rampant on here. that's literally never been addressed even though they've shown they do have the tools to address that in at least some capacity, they just have zero interest in doing so.

they'd rather use those tools to suppress tags for palestinian support then go oopsie woopsie the site did a lil fucky wucky. you cannot do that shit again and again and again & just expect people to fall for it over and over. staff thinks very little of their userbase if that wasn't already clear, they think we're stupid. there's people on here who've talked before about how tumblr did similar shit when the protests in ferguson were happening years ago, they terminated blogs belonging to black activists & then started that absolute bullshit line about russian psyop accounts. there were no fuckin psyops they were blatantly going after black activists.

I mean jesus christ you cannot expect people to kiss your ass & throw their money at your website when it has a mind boggling track record of piss poor treatment towards its users and an unbelievable preference for shielding people who are fucking vile and hateful freaks. sure a lot of that stuff occurred not under the people who own tumblr now, but clearly they inherited the playbook from those who owned this site previously because they just do the same shit then are so flabbergasted when we all can't stand them & are not exactly shy in showing how much we dislike them.

two things can be true at once you can absolutely be fond of this site but you can also go hey a lot of the shit you're pulling here is beyond weird and hostile towards certain parts of the userbase only... why the fuck is that? for a lot of people it's about withholding monetary support until things like that are addressed, which they haven't been so sorry im not going to be lining up to buy fucking premium and whatever stupid little vanity badge from the people who do nothing when non white people & trans people get harassed and have their safety threatened because staff is either too pussy to do anything or at worst actively involved in that behavior so they pretend they don't see.

I think they'd have an easier time of implementing monetized features if they didn't treat users like dogshit & blatantly treat us all like we're fucking idiots but hey what do I know

fuck certificate mills

Jesus Fuckballs Christ is ITIL certification a grift and a half. The job wants me to get certified on this basic ITIL 4 thingy. That means I have to install the official peoplecert proctoring spyware on the company laptop. Don’t really want to install god knows what surveillance crap on there but hey, not my property so fuck it. It’s not like they haven’t already breached our entire organization with this shitty software. I wouldn’t trust it but again, not my call. I already took the training course last spring, but I’ve been putting off scheduling the exam because I can’t stand reading the intentionally confusing jargon and nested, byzantine multi-level definitions of incredibly samey-sounding concepts. But alas, now I’ve officially run out of time on the test voucher I got last year. So I had to begrudgingly schedule the exam for the level 1 or whatever it was called for next week. I had the training a year ago as stated, but I doubt I’d remember any more had it been yesterday: the lecturer was absolute dogshit. It was in it’s entirety just a 2-day slog of him reading out poorly made powerpoint slides and me dozing off and leafing through the mock exams. It was the last thing I did before going on summer vacation last year. It sucked ass.  So, as all good students do, I procrastinated until the last possible moment, and then started looking around the peoplecert website yesterday for the actual course materials. And holy fucking shit you guys, what shifty anti-user nonsense their little course book app is! It’s a characteristically clunky browser-based “ebook reader” that allows you to add bookmarks and highlights and annotations in limited capacity. It’s pretty bog-standard features-wise, but what really pissed me off about it was how it fucks with page printing in a really underhanded way. I usually print any longer reading materials out, partly because I can’t stay on task when reading off a computer screen, and partly because I just like it better that way. So I print my reading materials liberally, that’s why I bought the stupid laser printer after all. And let me tell you, this company fucking hates the fact that browsers let you print web pages out. There’s an in-app print to pdf prompt, sure. But this is actually a trap designed for maximum frustration. The in-app print option arbitrarily restricts printing to 2 pages at a time. There’s a 40-60s “progress bar” before the download starts (as expected, this is complete bullshit, it only sends a request for the pages after the timeout has elapsed.) The printed pages are unnecessarily rendered into incredibly poor quality .png with impairingly large and up-keyed incrimination-focused watermarks all across. Judging by what I gleamed from the http requests made, there’s a hidden cap on activating this “print” feature of a 100 activations, and this isn’t disclaimed, so you might spend hours trying to laboriously print out what you need to read, only for it to tell you to go eat a dick 90% through the book. In short, it’s the worst print button the world has ever known. I hate this print button with great passion. So, I figured, fuck that. I’ve used a browser before, I’ll just print from the browser prompt on every chapter (the app loads the book into view chapter by chapter) and that’s that. Well, not so fast! The browser’s print preview just shows a blank page with a shit-eating little <p>don’t you know it’s impossible to print html?!? what are you even doing you dog-brained fuckstick, now go use our awesome print feature little donkey</p> (paraphrasing only slightly) plastered on top.

Fuck me, these people really don’t want people reading their garbage book, huh.

Ok. Let’s dig a tiny bit deeper, what is it doing here?

It turns out that the app registers a few event handlers for the beforeprint event, so that when you open the browser’s print dialog, it can remove and re-add the main content iframe. That in turn displays only their little passive-aggressive message, until some logic clears it a moment later, and the actual chapter becomes visible. Of course, the browser’s print dialog tries to print the current state of the page, and only captures the single paragraph that is visible at that moment, hence the preview from before.

Well, that’s annoying and profoundly anti-user. Let’s continue. Eventually they have to give my browser workable markup in order to display this stupid thing, it’s just a matter of digging.

It turns out the chapters are rendered via two nested iframes (some other dickish obfuscation scheme I’d assume), so I grab the inner one and quickly look over the markup. Yup, fantastic, the buck stops here. I can just open the src= of the inner iframe in a new tab and use devtools to drop a few fuckery-inducing script tags and the style tag that hides the page contents initially. A presto, the chapter is suddenly entirely printable with minimal hassle! Someone really should let these people know that it’s actually not that hard to let their users print out this material. In fact it takes some pretty grifty fuckery to screw with a basic browser feature in this way! Anyway I didn’t actually read a goddamn word of the material because I was so pissed off about this comprehensively wrong-headed approach to basic accessibility. But I did manage to download and re-collate the stupid book into a single file today, which was naturally a lot more fun than reading their godawful business management wank, so all in all a decent day of “work”. At least I’ll have the materials fucking accessible for the inevitable round 2 after I botch this stupid exam.

you’ve all wanted it, and i’m not ready to go to sleep yet, so here’s the latest installment of the sonic underground rewatch!

episode 6 thoughts under the cut!

• unrelated to the episode but there was some lego ninjago commercial that showed like. non-lego versions of the main characters and it looked nice. don’t know if it was for a show or the website idk i wasn’t paying attention • [GUITAR RIFF] SONIC- • i will literally never get tired of the opening theme and you can’t change my mind, i would die for a remaster of this. it doesn’t even have to be a cover. gimme a live performance and i will cry • “tangled webs”. spider concerns already • ooh, swatbot factory. interesting • manic just slid down a little rocky hill on his ass and that’s gotta hurt • sonia stop shining that laser pointer in manic’s eyes you’re gonna kill him • “switch six, switch six...” reminded me of the fun fact that your brain can only identify numbers up to a maximum of 4 or 5 at a glance, i forget which. but like... notice how if you only look at something very briefly you wouldn’t be able to immediately know “oh there’s 27 objects there” but you can very quickly identify 1-4 • sonia stop hitting manic with the drone what is wrong with you • some of these background characters are passable and some of them are hideous, there’s no in-between

• oh it’s the lion boy!! his voice is weird but it’s him!! • god dingo’s face is all kinds of fucked up in this close up as he’s talking • why is robotnik’s cape flowing so far behind him when he’s walking at a somewhat slow pace • i find it funny when eggman’s henchmen mock him when he’s not around, but i didn’t expect sleet to do that • “intruder .8 kilograms? what?? • how does it weigh a drone that is hovering in mid-air • somehow dingo identifies the drone as being piloted by sonia despite it being a hunk of metal with cameras on it • dingo being or looking like in the case of my headcanon a grown man and slobbering over sonia is kinda freaky (it’s partially why i made the hc so it’s less yikes but it’s still uncomfortable and i’m definitely gonna tone it down because fuck) • sleet don’t hit him!! • sonia is clearly frustrated during her conversation with manic (he’s being reckless as fuck) but the animators decided to give her a dead eyed smile for the whole scene • i wonder how they made the mechanical sounds? like the electronic shweeshweeshwee of the robots walking or the whoosh of doors opening? foley stuff is fascinating to me and i wanna know if they had to do any weird shit

• sleet is monologuing about how he hears the pitter patter of manic’s little feet and oh my god his eyes • how is dingo sneaking up behind manic he’s so fucking huge and noisy • sleet says “sylvia” before whacking the drone out of the air with what looks like an entire swatbot he just sort of picked up? i don’t get the reference and since when is he so strong • okay in the next shot it’s just an arm but still • “sometimes you just have to get their attention”? • cool transition between scenes with the camera glitching and shutting down from the perspective of the drone, that’s neat • dingo picks up sonia but wasn’t he just behind manic? once again the pacing is confusing me • “oh, ick” me too sonia • manic and sonia are tied up and were but in gigantic chairs and it looks so funny • “now, sarah” okay i get the “sylvia” thing now, sleet’s just forgetting sonia’s name somehow • sonia says “twit-face” and i feel like she could be more clever than that • “whatever, sophia” • “where’s sonic!?” [NYOOM] • sonic’s voice sounds... really weird, is that what jaleel white sounds like when he isn’t trying to sound all nasally and shit? also he burps and it’s gross • god the movement in this scene is very janky in general • sonia starts lecturing sonic but gets interrupted by a laser blast and manic pipes in like “can we talk about this later?” • sonia strong • is sonic just spilling lava everywhere??? • you’d think there’d be more sounds here • “am i good or what?” feels like it was pulled from satam? • “you’re insufferable” “thank you” • sonia’s voice is so shrill jesus christ • i feel like this is a pretty good confrontation of how sonic not working as a team with the other two can cause pretty significant problems • sonia i don’t think robotnik would throw you in prison, that’s what the roboticizer is for and i don’t think he’d keep y’all separate from that • cyrus does a weird double take and i think it’s an animation error • this cyrus kid is pretty sus- who is this hippie dude- • CYRUS SUS CYRUS SUS • there was deadass just a normal animal bird with some kind of accessory on its neck as a background character • damn it cyrus • SONG TIME??? • apparently no • once again manic and sonia are tied up which lasts 2 seconds • aosth slow-mo beam, purple flavor • what are these background characters they’re so ugly • OH NO I REMEMBER WHAT SANCTUARY IS NOW • children... i’d love to see the tiny babes but they’re undoubtedly ugly as fuck • ROBOTNIK WANTS TO MURDER CHILDREN • one of the kids looks like reptar • SONG TIME NOW • why is this so. idk, whimsical? idk how to describe this but i already don’t like it • they forgot to draw manic’s head quills in a shot • why is cyrus looking so pissed at these children • sounds like a weird off brand christmas song. don’t like it very much but i guess it isn’t bad. maybe a 2/10 • sdnjksg assaulting your siblings with a cloud of flour sounds fun if not wasteful but still, manic seems to be enjoying his little tech demo • sonia says “this place is gross” and manic goes “hey, you’re talking about my childhood home” and i think it’s a good thing that the show didn’t just forget where they all came from and how this can create very minor conflict between them? like manic and sonia seem to slight each other rather frequently when it comes to sonia’s attitude towards dirty places and manic finding it comfortable there due to familiarity even if it wasn’t all that good. i can relate to that • sonic walks off the right side of the screen after refusing some goggles then. pops up and puts on the shades again? i don’t get it • oh my god sonic knocks cyrus (and manic by extension) over and they literally just. rotate the asset in place and leave them planking. there wasn’t a water splash or change of pose or anything • how does sonic zoom past a swat bot looking directly at him without triggering any alarms? why didn’t it notice him • why are there so many regretful traitors on this show • how does sonic not notice the clearly a hologram man in front of him • god the animation in this episode in general is abyssmal • ah jeez manic and sonia have been captured again • “attention sonic hedgehog” • OH NO CYRUS’ DAD but the expression he made in response to seeing him roboticized killed it

• i know he didn’t snort here but i can feel the little “snrk” sound here. it was at this moment he knew he fucked up • PULL THE LEVER, SLEET • that little drone thing is fucking insane, it melted the entire roboticizer?? • i much prefer when background characters resemble actual animals • aww hug • poor cyrus :( • GOD SONIC AND SONIA SIT DOWN TO COMFORT HIM BUT MANIC LAYS DOWN ALL DRAMATIC JUST SMILING, READ THE ROOM BUD-

Foxes On A Boat (Alternatively: I Hate This Title But Can’t Think Of Anything Else To Name It)

Something dumb I started writing when I was bored the other day, not entirely sure how often I’ll update it aside from when the inspiration strikes but it boils down to Neil, Andrew, and the rest of the Foxes going on a cruise simply because I thought the idea of Andrew stuck on a boat with everyone was fucking hilarious and also Andrew has a private Instagram account that only Neil is allowed to follow because reasons (that’s the entire plot so far and chapter 2 is basically just porn oops) ao3

One

Chasing The Sun

“Somebody get these mother fucking Foxes on a mother fucking boat!” Allison cheered from her seat across from Neil as she gleefully hit the confirm button on the cruise line's website.

“How much do I owe you?” Neil asked, letting out a soft whimper as the reality of the moment set in. There was no doubt in his mind that one Allison Reynolds chose to spare no expense for this trip being that it was hers and the other upperclassmen's final spring break together.

“You're paying for you, the monster, Nicky, and Erik?” Allison confirmed.

“Me, Andrew, Nicky, and Erik.” Neil stressed the second name.

Allison only let out a small huff of air, blowing it upwards so it jostled her bangs, “Alright, so for four people leaving from Tampa and sailing to Cozumel for five nights wth ocean view rooms comes out to $404 per person, before tax and fees, which brings your grand total after those are added to...$1,956”

Neil felt all the air leave his body as he tumbled off the couch and to the floor, “Jesus fucking Christ, Allison.”

“Get off the floor, sweetie, you're being over dramatic.” Allison shook her head, “I told you this was going to be expensive when we came up with the idea!”

“I didn't know it was going to be this expensive though!” Neil protested.

“You could have done the research!” Allison laughed, “Or better yet, used your previous knowledge of me and my spending habits to make an informed decision.”

“Whatever, just take it,” Neil huffed, thrusting his credit card in Allison's face.

“I already put it all on mine, you can shower me in cash later.” Allison smiled as she snapped her laptop closed.

Neil pushed aside the looming loss of money and tried to focus on the more positive aspects of the trip and being able to spend a week in the middle of the Caribbean with his Foxes and Andrew was almost enough to quiet the screaming voice of his mother in the back of his brain. Almost.

“Anyway,” Allison sang, snapping him back to reality, “I just put everyone's ticket on my card so they can pay me back whenever. I'm covering Renee, Dan and Matt are splitting it, Kevin already gave me his share, and Aaron refused to let me pay for his and Katelyn's so he's dealing with both of theirs on his own.”

“Sounds like we're good to go then.” Neil smiled.

“Yep!” Allison chirped, “By the way, I also spent $500 to upgrade you and Andrew to a suite, my treat.”

“What?” Neil coughed, “Why would you do that?”

“Cruise ship rooms are small, I was afraid you and Andrew would kill each other in such close proximity.” Allison joked.

“Not funny.” Neil sighed, flicking her on the knee.

Allison rolled her eyes and stood from the couch, returning Neil's flick with one of her own on his forehead, “I wanted to do something nice for you, dumb fuck.”

“I can tell.” Neil laughed.

“You're supposed to say 'Thank you, Allison, I love you.'”

“Thank you, Allison, I love you.”

"You're welcome!" Allison grinned, "This trip is going to do wonders for your Instagram too. I'm fucking tired of seeing Exy memes every time I scroll down my feed."

Neil rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone which Allison promptly snatched from his hand. She pulled him over to her side and held his phone out in front of them, "Smile."

Neil didn't have time to react before he heard the clicking of the camera on his phone and Allison held him at arms length as she opened up his Instagram and posted their picture to his profile. Neil snatched the phone back from her and turned it around to find a picture of him and Allison, his face mid blink and her face looking professionally airbrushed as always, with the caption I love @allisonreynolds more than Exy.

"Not true." Neil mumbled as he looked down at his phone and saw it ping with a notification.

"Jesus, Andrew liked the picture already?" Allison laughed, "Is that his version of peeing on you like a fire hydrant or something?"

Neil only smiled as the notifications rolled in from various other foxes and dozens of strangers that he still couldn't really understand why they followed him.

"This is so annoying!" Allison huffed and glared at Neil.

"What now?" Neil asked

"Andrew's profile!" Allison gritted out, "Why does he even have one if it's locked and he only follows and is followed by one person. It says he has 150 fucking posts, what the fuck does he actually post pictures of?"

Neil bit back another laugh as he navigated to Andrew's page. Allison was right, he only did follow one person, Neil. And he only allowed one person to follow him, Neil. "I'm looking at it right now, there's plenty of stuff here."

Allison jumped up from the couch to circle behind him but he was too quick for her, he locked the phone and stuffed it deep into his pocket before she could get a glimpse of Andrew's private profile. The contents of the profile were a secret he wanted to keep for as long as he possibly could and he was in no rush to help Allison settle the long standing bet about what Andrew actually posted pictures of.

"I will find out before this trip is over!" Allison warned.

"Whatever you say." Neil laughed.

Allison pranced to the door, confident in her looming victory, and swung it open with a resounding thump and Neil resigned himself to following her down the hallway as she banged on every single door. He bit back a smile as Fox after Fox ambled out from their rooms and stood in a line along the hallway. Neil counted them off one by one. Renee, Dan, Matt, Nicky, Aaron, and Kevin. The door to the elevator opened just in time to reveal Andrew who's face morphed into a scowl as Allison pointed a finger at him to get into line.

“Listen up, Foxes!” Allison yelled, pacing back and forth down the line with her hands behind her back like a boot camp sergeant, “The tickets are locked in, on Monday morning we fly out to Florida to board the Royalty of the Seas for five days of debauchery and foolishness with a final destination of Cozumel. Pack your shit accordingly. Condoms, passports, et cetera. I am not going to be standing around the port with my dick in my hand because you forgot to bring anything you need.”

Neil shook his head as he fell into place in line next to Andrew. He turned and gave him a small smile out of the corner of his mouth and was met with a low grunt and an elbow to his ribs. He liked it.

“No one, and I repeat no one,” Allison paused and let her eyes scan the line of Foxes, “is going to mess up my last spring break as a college student.”

“Why don't we get to come?” A junior Fox stuck his head out of the bedroom to ask.

Allison spun on her heal and hissed, “Because you're not invited!”

Neil cringed at the boys reaction as he retreated into his room with the slam of a door. He figured he should probably care, being vice-captain and all, but it was becoming harder and harder every day to give a fuck about anyone on the team who wasn't a part of his family.

“Nicky, Thing Two, you're responsible for getting your significant others to the designated place on time. I will leave you behind.” Allison smiled.

“Fuck this.” Aaron spat, shouldering his way past Allison and stomping down to the hallway towards the door to his room, pushing it open and slamming it behind him with a loud bang.

“What the fuck is his problem?” Allison scoffed.

Renee broke from the line and walked to Allison, resting a hand on the shoulder that Aaron had pushed, and whispered something in her ear.

No one seemed to know what Aaron's problem was and Neil really didn't care. It was hard to drum up any kind of sympathy for Aaron, even on a good day. Though he had a feeling that whatever was going on was coming dangerously close to ruining the trip.

Eventually Nicky spoke, “Aaron told me not to say anything...”

“When has that ever stopped you?” Kevin rolled his eyes.

“Well,” Nicky chewed on his bottom lip, “Aaron just got off the phone with Katelyn and she had to refund her ticket. Her mom got into an accident and had been out of work for a few weeks and she said she would rather send the money from her ticket back home to help them out rather than go on a cruise. They got into a fight because Aaron was going to refund his ticket and stay with her but she wanted him to go, she said it would be good for him to spend time with his friends for one last spring break.”

“Friends?” Neil muttered under his breath.

Neil heard an odd sound come from Andrew's direction that he would almost call a laugh if he didn't know better.

“Great.” Allison groaned, “Now we have to spend a week on a floating prison with a moody midget who hates the world.”

Neil cringed at the thought. He could already see Aaron following everyone around on the boat, drinking and making their lives hell because he was pissed off that his girlfriend wasn't there. More specifically, he could see Aaron making his trip a living hell, taking any chance available to antagonize Neil about his relationship with Andrew. He wasn't going to let the trip be ruined like that, he was fucking determined to make this a week of good memories and minimal bloodshed, and there was only one way to do it.

“Allison,” Neil sighed, “can you add another ticket to our package?”

“What?” The entire line of Foxes, Andrew included, said in unison.

“Can you or can't you?” Neil asked, looking directly at Allison.

“I'd have to call and probably yell at the poor son of a bitch who gets stuck with my call, but yeah. Why?” Allison raised an eyebrow.

“Add another one then, I'll pay for it.” Neil shrugged.

Again, a Fox wide gasp rolled through the hallway.

“Neil...” Matt trailed off, “are you doing something nice for Aaron?”

No.” Neil clarified, “I'm doing something nice for us all. I'm not going to let a week of Aaron sulking around ruin our trip. Add the ticket, I don't care how much it costs.”

“Idiot.” Andrew mumbled net to him.

Neil ignored him and made his way down the hallway to Aaron and Matt's suite, letting himself in and walking across the small living room towards the bedroom, he rapped on the door with his fist a few times and the door swung up to reveal a furious Aaron.

“What the fuck do you want?” Aaron spat.

“Call Katelyn and tell her that she better be at the airport first thing Monday morning.” Neil said, his face flat and devoid of any emotion.

“Excuse me?” Aaron took a step forward, pushing Neil backwards towards the couch.

“Nicky can't keep his big mouth shut. Allison is adding another ticket and I'm paying for it. Your girlfriend is coming with us and that's the end of the discussion.” Neil stepped to the side of Aaron and turned to make his way to the door but was held into place by Aaron's hand on the back of his shirt.

“I don't want your fucking charity.” Aaron said under his breath.

Neil looked up to the door of the suite and saw the eyes of nearly ever single Fox on them. He turned on his heel and batted Aaron's hand off his shoulder, grabbing the other twin by the wrist and pulling him further away from the ears of the Foxes.

“It's not charity, you asshole.” Neil said in a hushed whisper, “This is my last spring break with everyone in the same place and I'm not going to let you and your fucking attitude ruin it. Either call her and tell her that she's coming or don't you dare think about showing up because I won't stop your brother when he inevitably tries to throw you overboard.”

“This changes nothing.” Aaron growled, ripping his arm from Neil's hold and shoving his hand into his pocket to fish out his cell phone.

Neil only heard the begging of Aaron's conversation with his girlfriend before the door to his room slammed shut but the lighter tone of his voice and the small smile that betrayed furious eyes was not lost on him.

Neil ignored the rest of the team as he moved past them and back into the hallway, only concentrating on Andrew who had latched onto his wrist and was pulling him towards the stairs to the roof. They made their way to the top of the tower and sat side by side on the edge of the building and watched as the sun slowly sank into the earth. Neither of them spoke but the lingering touch of Andrew's hand on his when he handed over a lit cigarette spoke volumes.

Neil was content in the quiet air for as long as it lasted, which was until his phone buzzed at his side with a text from Allison.

Additional late fee. Extra ticket was $100 more. Heart emoji. Knife emoji.

Neil let out another pained groan and let his head fall to Andrew's shoulder. He waited a moment to see if he would be pushed off, either to the side or over the edge, and smiled a little when he was allowed to stay.

“Idiot.” Andrew mumbled as he ground out the end of his cigarette and tossed it over the side of the building.

Neil closed his eyes and imagined walking down a white sandy beach with his fingers interlaced in Andrews. He imagined Andrew in a pair of board shorts, the sun filtering down from the sky and shining around his fair hair like a halo. He imagined sitting on the balcony of their room together in silence, smoking and listening to the sound of waves crashing against the side of the enormous boat.

“Worth it.”
