I animated two different versions. I wasn't able to import the first one (left) correctly because I animated it on Rough Animator, so I just decided to animate it again on Procreate (right). It turned out much easier to do the second time.

My redneck neighbor Doug on 'Tribe'

When not turning his home into a giant light hazard for Jesus's Birthday or getting into yelling fights in the alley with Bobby Lee (another redneck neighbor who is a DIE HARD 'Bama fan) about SEC football, Doug's been randomly texting me things about the Jedi.

I'll update y'all on that soon enough. (Plo Koon = Sexy Shrimp Daddy?!)

Meanwhile, here is his review of his favorite episode of Season 2 of The Bad Batch...TRIBE, or as Doug calls it 'Chewbacca Junior and the Weed Business'.

Yes, a random fetch quest one in which Clone Force 99 helps out a random Wookiee kid. His favorite. Don't ask.

Need a Doug refresher? Check it out under Doug Talks Star Wars here.

TW: Doug Doug's as is his Doug-like wont. Hold onto your butts. A little calmer since Daddy Warcrimes is MIA in this one.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So we got Daddy Rambo and the gang making counterfeit licenses for underage drinkers or whatever. You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess, and Daddy Rambo will do a lot of things, but obtaining gainful employment ain’t one of them. 

Ryan-from-Accounting is smug as hell about his counterfeiting operation. You’re so smart, Ryan-from-Accounting, why don’t you go to law school and start practicing corporate licensing? At least you can get equity there, ya dingaling.

And Little Orphan Blondie runs away because she’s embarrassed to be seen around them. I get it, kid.

Woah, it’s Chewbacca Junior! Are the lizard and robot people trying to sell him to the circus or something? Oh, he’s a Jedi?! When did this happen, this is awesome! I loved Chewbacca! I love Wookiees! AWESOME!!!

And Little Orphan Blondie is protecting him, go Little Orphan Blondie, go! 

I hope they adopt Chewbacca Junior and get him a collar and a nice bed on the floor of the HMS Search Warrant. They need a pet. Little Orphan Blondie can brush him and put bows in his hair! Do you think he uses a litter box?

They’re taking him home, and look! Little Orphan Blondie is giving him her Lunchables. I’m proud of the Dad Batch, they’re teaching Little Orphan Blondie good morals. Oh, poor wee Chewbacca Junior, he has no family and when he talks it sounds like Jimmers when he’s treed a squirrel*.

But Ryan-from-Accounting can understand him! Ya know, I wonder if his helmet can translate Bitch and that’s how Ryan-from-Accounting talks to his Bitch Wife Laura. 

It would be awesome if they adopt Chewbacca Junior and he attacks people with his lightsaber. He’s like a pet version of an MR-15! Imagine the DAMAGE his furry ass would do on the battlefield! 

Ooh, they made it to Wookieeland! Ya know, it always reminded me of where Jenny and I used to camp in northern California. I wonder if there’s a brewery nearby? I bet Toaster Strudel needs to throw back, that man needs a beer and a restraining order from Daddy Rambo. 

Oh SHIT, looks like the bugs from Klendathu made their way down to Wookieeland. Somebody call the Starship Troopers! Oh, wait, they can talk to those things like Dougie Houser did? Woah. Neat. 

Looks like the Empire found the Wookiee weed farm and torched it. Poor Wookiees, they’re just trying to make an honest living growing herb. Leave ‘em alone!

Which planet makes meth, my money’s on Tatooine, it looks like New Mexico and that place is meth Disneyland, there was a whole TV show about it. 

(Above is...Tatooine?! - Dr Meat Muffin)

Oh man it’s Houma-BBQ-Bitch’s shitty brothers and they’re burning the whole weed operation to the ground. Guess they work for the DEA.

Kick their asses, Wookiees! Now they want Chewbacca Junior, but the Dad Batch is saying FUCK YOU! 

Go Dad Batch go! Fire ‘em up! Destroy the tanks! GO JULIO GO! It’s like Apocalypse Now with Bigfoot!

More Wookiees! And they’re riding giant monkey-cats! AWESOME. Man, I feel stoned just watching this episode. Why can't I stop giggling.

Granny Wookiee says come on in and have some weed! Oh, shit, are they doing ayahuasca? Toaster Strudel ain’t having it, but Julio’s down. Julio’s down for anything, he’s probably gonna stick around, use his pipe laying skills, and get some free ganga out of the deal. Man, we all need a Julio in our life. Love him. 

Oh, poor Chewbacca Junior can’t find a home. Come on, Granny Wookiee, just let him crash with you guys! He can clip weed on the side, he’s got that lightsaber, let ‘em have it. But first, let’s talk to the trees! Did they take mushrooms before this scene, Jesus Christ this really does take place in Humboldt County, doesn’t it.

Ah, nevermind, the gators that run the DEA are here. With Stormtroopers. Oh shit, are the gators wearing Wookiee pelts while fighting Wookiees? That’s some Silence of the Lambs shit right there.

Welp, time for fire fights, Smokey the Bear does not approve of this episode, especially as one of the lizard men chases Chewbacca Junior and Little Orphan Blondie into the woods with a flamethrower. 

Oh shit, there are the bugs! Shit, am I actually cheering on the bugs from Starship Troopers? What is going on here, I’m so confused. Whelp, they’re eating Houma-BBQ-Bitch’s brother, good for them.

Back to Granny Wookiee’s Pot Palace, where Toaster Strudel and Julio throw back her questionable moonshine and smile at each other. If they end up with Wookiee girlfriends, it will be weird, but I will be happy for them. 

And Little Orphan Blondie and Chewbacca Junior are talking to the trees, again. Just watching this episode makes me wanna go back to Electric Forest. Except I don’t think Oceana County has wookiees, but it does have crazy people in the woods I guess. 

*=Jimmers is Doug’s extremely handsome poodle mix dog. His full name is Jimmers Jimothy Jimerson III and they found him as a stray when he was eating trash behind a bowling alley in Nacogdoches. 

Where my Doug fans at? @amalthiaph @eyecandyeoz @merkitty49 @sued134 are the biggest, but let me know if ya wanna be tagged in the next installment!

A Mia Navarette Mix

con altura - rosalia ft j balvin, successful - ariana grande, cash rules - iyla ft method man, happy - pharrell williams, positivo - j balvin, we’re going to be friends - caroline pennell, i’ve got this friend - the civil wars, i want to hold your hand - tv carpio, honeybee - the head and the heart, let’s fall - dana williams, clouds - milky chance, sweater weather - the neighborhood, fading fast - sister, smile - maisie peters,  familia -  anuel aa ft nicki minaj & bantu,  formation - beyonce

I’ll be sharing the lyrics that really stood out as MIA down below. But I also wanted to make a note on how towards the end of the mix, starting from “fading fast” is the transformation of Mia, where she is less about rule following and definitely more rebellious and tapping into a darker side of her. Not taking away about her sugary sweet personality, but also adding a fierceness to her. Hence the title of this mix. It's definitely a Mia that will soon present herself. 

con altura: this song is in spanish & it was chosen because its a bougie song of rich kids not giving a fuck. Mia is very much a rich kid and though she gives lots of fucks, this is a vibe she rocks with and sings along with a drink in her hand.

successful:  it feels so good to be so young / And have this fun and be successful / I'm so successful, yeah /  And, girl, you too, you are so young / And beautiful and so successful, yeah

cash rules:  You say cash rules everything around you, what about love? / You say cash rules everything around you, what about us?  /  You think ass rules everything around you, what about trust? / You say cash rules everything around you, you doing too much / And that's where you fucked up

happy:  Here come bad news, talking this and that /  Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back / Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine /  No offense to you, don't waste your time Here's why / Because I'm happy

positivo:   Positivo, por más difícil que se vea, siempre positivo (sí) / Y me activo (wuh), venga yo le paso la buena vibra (buena vibra) / Positivo, porque la vida es una y tenemo' que gozar, yeah ( translation: positivity, as hard as it is to see / we must always be positive / and i’ll start, come here and i’ll pass you my good vibes/ positivity, because we only have one life and we have to enjoy it )

we’re going to be friends:  Tonight I'll dream while in my bed / When silly thoughts go through my head / About the bugs and alphabet / And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet / That you and I will walk together again / I can tell that we are going to be friends

i’ve got this friend:  Oh I've got this friend / Holding onto her heart / Like it's a little secret / Like it's all she's got to give

i want to hold your hand: And when I touch you I feel happy / Inside / It's such a feeling that my love / I can't hide /  I can't hide / I can't hide

honeybee: (this is a song she yearns for, she wants this for herself and hums it under breath often) 

Honeybee / I can't imagine how my life would be / If all your gravity did not hit me / Oh, don't you see? / Darling, my honeybee / But here we are / After all the messes and confessions / To the stars / That we never really owned as ours

let’s fall:  Please wont you stay /  Lets fall / In love / With love, tonight / Into the stars above, tonight / The air is sweet / And the moon is bright / Lets fall / In love, tonight / Lets fall / In love / With love

clouds:  You came up in my heart / Like the sun and the stars / Maybe I'll be the moon / So we can shine pretty soon

sweater weather:  And if I may just take your breath away /  I don't mind if there's not much to say / Sometimes the silence guides our minds to / So move to a place so far away

fading fast: ( this is the song playing when Mia finally gives up on the coalition)  

No, I can’t seem to fit the right words together / No, I can’t seem to find what’s holding me so tight / I’m fading, fading fast / I’m fading, fading fast /  Give me grace and give me peace / For these heavy tired eyes / Can I find some sleep?

smile: (this is the song when she’s joining the rebellion) 

No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice / No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite / Time for Mrs. Takin' What's Mine / You don't need him / Got bridges to burn and places to run / Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun

familia: La lealtad vale más que el dinero (Oh-oh) / Y yo me vo' a morir leal y nunca como un traicionero (Oh-oh) /  Yo hasta doy la vida por mi familia ( translation: loyalty is worth more than money / and I will die loyal and never a traitor / i would give up my own life for my family )

formation: I see it, I want it /  I stunt, yellow bone it / I dream it, I work hard / I grind 'til I own it /  I twirl on them haters ... Sometimes I go off, I go off / I go hard, I go hard / Get what's mine, take what's mine / I'm a star, I'm a star / 'Cause I slay, slay

if you made it to the end....you are an ANGEL of the HIGHEST degree. and i adore you.

Nostalgia Rewatch: Yu Yu Hakusho S01E14

We open with Keiko going to Yusuke's mom to ask if she has any news about her son. It's been a month since he went off to train, and she says that he sometimes calls her just to let her know that he's okay. However, she's confident that since “overcoming death”, that Yusuke can get through anything. Keiko, however, is upset that Yusuke couldn't be bothered to get in touch with her. As she's walking along, she sees a figure: it's Yusuke, returning from his training. He's warn and beaten, but appears happy to see her, too.

They meet up with Kuwabara in a park (I guess?). While Keiko purchases milkshakes for the three of them, Yusuke tells Kuwabara about some of his training, like how Genkai made him balance on the tip of a spike with the tip of his finger, with only his spiritual energy to stop him from hurting himself. Or how she taught him how to catch spirit energy. He then starts to list off some of the other things he had to do, and Kuwabara says “my butt hurts thinking about all that!” Which... doesn't seem like the best translation, and I wonder if something was lost along the way? Kuwabara says that he wants to see Yusuke's finishing move, but just then, Keiko comes back with their treats and asks what Kuwabara wants to see. Yusuke quickly says that they were talking about seeing a movie, and Kuwabara helps Yusuke cover with Keiko.

They go to the theater, but as they're walking, Yusuke feels a strange energy. He tells Keiko that he and Kuwabara have to run to the store really quickly, and please go save us seats! As they're leaving, Kuwabara jokes about what kind of “guy's only shopping trip” Yusuke could have been talking about, but Yusuke is quick to ask him if he felt that they were being followed by something not quite right.

Just then, five guys who look Not Right© show up, and they go into an alley to fight. They instantly take out switchblades, which Kuwabara isn't exactly happy about. They all start to chant “kill kill kill”, and attack the two. After fighting for a minute, Yusuke eventually uses his new spiritual technique, spirit shotgun, which fires off blast after blast, like a shotgun.

But Kuwabara says that something still isn't right, and then notices a strange figure watching nearby. They chase after the guy, but Botan knocks the guy over the head with a baseball bat. They then go back to the five guys, and watch as a bug crawls out from one of the guy's mouth and flies off. Botan then says that this is a new mission for Yusuke, which he is not happy to hear about.

A few days ago in the spirit realm, as Koenma is still struggling to catch up on all of the work that piled up when he was watching the fighting, a demon comes in and says that there's an urgent letter. Koenma is upset to read it: it's about the demons in some demon sub-city wanting to move into the human world. Botan goes on to explain to Yusuke about the bugs: that they're invisible to the human eye, and infect “gloomy and dark minded individuals”, and make them homicidal and otherwise violent. However, there's a bug flute in the demon city, which is inhabited by the criminals and other various lowlifes of the demon world. Yusuke needs to get past the barrier to the city, go into a castle, and destroy the flute.

Yusuke complains about going in on this job alone. Just then, Kuwabara reminds them that he's there, and he's willing to help with this. However, Botan quickly says “you didn't hear anything!” But Kuwabara says that he's willing to help, because this is his home, and he can see the bugs as well.

Botan takes them to a warehouse, where she opens up a trapdoor that seemingly leads to this demonic city. She tells Kuwabara that it's dangerous, and that he can leave if he wants. Yusuke takes it to mean that she's talking to him, but Botan trips Yusuke and says “NOT YOU!” Kuwabara says that he's a spirit detective at heart, and jumps through the door. Botan then gives Yusuke a communication device, and says that she'll remain in the human world to fight off the bugs, but to call her if anything happens. Yusuke suddenly remembers that they left Keiko alone at the theater, and asks Botan to explain things to her before he jumps through the opening, not giving Botan any time to respond to such a request.

The two of them land in the demon city, where they're almost immediately set-upon by some zombie-like demons all wearing robes. They try to fight, but there's too many of them, and they almost get buried and eaten by them.

Just then, there's a flash of light, which scares all of the demons away. The lights turned out to be help sent by Koenma: Kurama and Hiei. Koenma had told them that it would look good for an appeal if they helped Yusuke with this. However, Hiei makes it perfectly clear that he doesn't give a shit about Kurama, Yusuke, or the bugs... he only wants the treasure.

They go to the castle. We then hear some demons laughing over the four of them as they approach, and how they probably wont' make it in, so not to worry!

When they get to the castle entrance, they're all kind of worried that it's this horrifying fanged-mouth shape that opens to a long and dark tunnel, with seemingly no end. Kuwabara wants to just blindly charge in, and Hiei's like “what kind of shit plan is that, you big buffoon?”

They go in, since there's nothing else to do. After a moment, this flying eyeball thing with tentacles comes up, and says that this is the Gateway of Betrayal. It then pulls a lever, and the ceiling drops down on our four heroes. They struggle to hold it up. The thing explains to them that the ceiling knows exactly how much strength that anybody has, and puts forth that exact amount of pressure so that the entire group has to hold it up. If one person tries to make a break for it, then the rest of the group would be crushed. This obviously leads to a lot of arguments and yelling... mainly from Kuwabara and Hiei about their situation.
