Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

You know you've improved your writing when you go from absolutely disgusted with your own work to being so lost in your own words you don't remember it was YOU that wrote it... I'm proud of myself.

Back when I used to upload my own work often, on Wattpad of all places help- I often hated my own work and wondered why people liked it. Tonight, I really just needed a break from the world, and I thought I'd double check my old fics for typos and grammatical errors. I forgot I was reading my own work... I was lost in the world I thought a mutual made, but it was just me.

Idk why I'm posting about this, maybe it's so you guys look back at your own work and be proud of how far you've gone, maybe it's so I can inspire people to pick up old hobbies they've abandoned years ago (like I did with writing), I don't know.

What I do know is...

Be proud of yourself, you've gone far. You're doing great. Don't give up, okay? ♡

RE: The 200th Episode + S7

So a while back I made this post, which analyzed an interview with Martin Kratt around Season 7, which at the time, had just premiered on PBS Kids. In that interview, Martin said that Season 7 will air Episode 200 of Wild Kratts. Pretty exciting shit, right?

Turns out that may be outdated.... like, VERY outdated.

An article by current.org that I found a while ago described Season 7 having 20 episodes, with there being 16 left following the season's four-episode premiere.

"Some shows in the 20-episode season are devoted to animal classification. Others focus on the different roles of animals in the wild, such as predators versus prey. One looks at the boundary-breaking mudskipper, a fish that actually spends much of its time on land. " With 16 more episodes left to air in Wild Kratts’ seventh season — including the series’ 200th — there are plenty more creature adventures to come. New episodes will premiere on PBS Kids through 2025, according to DeWitt, who adds, “We do not have an update on season 8 at this time.” 

Now yes, that article does mention that the series 200th will air in Season 7, but there is no mathematical way for a 20 episode season to add up to 200.

Because as of this week, there have been 16 episodes of Season 7 released: Bringing the show to 174 episodes. Episode 20 of the season will bring the series to 178 episodes of the overall season. It would take 22 episodes afterwards to get to the 200th episode.

I'm not entirely sure what exactly is the case here, whether Martin was incorrect, making assumptions, or there was some change in the amount of episodes ordered for the season, but it does not look like we'll be getting the 200th episode this season.

This leads to my next point: We are actually way closer to the end of Season 7 than we think.

One-hour specials in the show are classified as two episodes, since they're double the length of regular episodes, and thus double the production thereof.

Season 4 was commissioned 26 episodes, with Animals Who Live To Be 100 Years Old as the 100th of the series - for those numbers to add up, A Creature Christmas and Creatures of the Deep Sea would need to be two episodes each (otherwise S4 would have only 24 eps and AWLTB100YO would be episode 98). Similarly, Season 5 had a 20 episode order that would bring the overall number count to 138: Meaning the season premiere "Alaska: Hero's Journey" and the Halloween special "Creepy Creatures" would have to be counted as two episodes each (4 episodes, plus the 16 regular length episodes).

If we apply this to the other one-hour specials (including Our Blue and Green World and Activate Kid Power) then that means that we are currently 16 episodes into Season 7 as of this week. And if the current.org article is correct, then that means that only 4 episodes remain.

And seeing as how 4 new episodes often air in one batch, (whether it's a double-length episode and 3 regulars, or 4 individual episodes airing daily), and with how a modern WK season takes 2 years to finish (added with the article saying the season will premiere through 2025) this indicates that the next batch of episodes following this week will be the last of the season, and that one of these episodes will be the Season 7 finale.

Yup, Season 7 is most likely ending this year.

Now I could, on some level, be wrong, (and frankly I hope I am because it's kinda shitty that all of that hype around Ep. 200 could've possibly been for nothing). But so far, so many signs point to Season 7 having 20 episodes and not a minimum of 40 as we initially thought. I've seen bootlegs of Wild Kratts live where the new episodes are announced and the number of episodes they announce in future is not the amount that would give the season enough episodes to break the 200 milestone. Hopefully more information will come out (likely in an interview with the Kratts as a tie-in to the next batch of episodes) but all signs point to the end of Season 7 being upon us:

the never stop blowing up vhs is where cute twinks go to get harmed

[clowndensation]

we hired a new guy at work and his name is vincent btw. literally replacing me with some guy with the same exact name. and our email addresses are all just our first names and then @companywebsitename.com so if i ever WERE to come back, i'd be like. vincent1@companywebsitename.com. disrespectful.

[punkrogue]

some fucking idiot: when we say "magneto was right" we're saying he's right about society and shit not supporting his terrorist actions

me: don't lump me in with your cowardly ass i'm in full throated support of his terrorism. sentinels, purifiers, the mardies etc are all real and exist and want mutants dead and literally no one gives a single shit. they'd rather pass the mutant registration act and make "scaly lives matter" jokes on twitter then help stop the genocide of mutants. it's a good thing actually he's blowing shit up and he should do more of it actually.

Tech logic

I appreciate that fandom doesn’t always lend itself well towards logic, emotions run high and get in the way of detached thought, but it’s overdue in this case

When Tech chose to fall he was on Eriadu, but that’s not a location under Hemlock’s control. We know this because Tarkin has a good bitch at him when he turns up late for the meeting there

Hemlock may have had Tech’s goggles in his possession later on, but it wouldn’t have been *his* people who went looking around the site of the monorail collapse, it would have been Tarkin’s

Tarkin makes it perfectly clear that he wouldn’t piss down Hemlock’s throat if his lungs were on fire, so he certainly wouldn’t have handed him anything that he thought he might have been able to gain any sort of advantage from, regardless of the condition it was in

So he gets the smashed up goggles and a ‘that was all we could salvage, such a shame. Anyway’ and gets packed off back to Tantiss

Not only does Tarkin dislike Hemlock but he couldn’t care less for the project he’s working on, he’s solely focused on his own work and considers Hemlock’s an unnecessary drain on the limited funding available

That doesn’t help to clear up where Tech is now, but he was never in Hemlock’s possession

***

But if Hemlock didn’t have Tech how come CX-2 used the same words and cadence when he talked?

For the same reason so many of the Knights of Ren background CX units had so many of Tech’s design features, with goggles, visors, and helmet shaping repeating amongst the crowd

Distraction and fan baiting, for the sadistic joy of stringing people along until the last possible moment and then spitting in your eye. To make you think that Tech is gone with zero hope of ever returning. To try to put off any fans who've shown themselves to be getting close to working it all out

But CX-2 sounded like Tech for the exact same reason Tech sounds like Tech. Because that’s the way he'd been programmed to speak. Which is also the reason Omega speaks with a space NZ accent

Just because all of the focus on reprogramming clones is put on Crosshair, the CX units, and Hunter (briefly) doesn’t mean it doesn’t go back much much further than that, back to before we ever met CF99. Hemlock is using the technology and data the Empire took from Kamino. The progress on his projects only stalls once Nala Se stops assisting him

Experimental Clone Force 99. Emphasis on the Experimental. Just because they give us a few details about one aspect of that work doesn’t mean they told us everything

Just like Hemlock juggling multiple projects on Tantiss, Nala Se was doing the same thing under Kamino, with her own female clone medical assistant by her side. And on Bora Vio before that

***

This show has taken scenes from multiple other franchises all the way back to the Clone Wars arc, but what it uses most of all is The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit

They keep repeating an overhead circle motif – a ring or a set of concentric rings. Coming back to it more and more often the closer to the end we get. It even appears as a design on the shoulder of a street seller on Pabu in the finale

CF99 dying with Tech is the SW equivalent to the Fellowship of the Ring being broken. They’re no longer together but the quest goes on regardless. Just with a focus on some of the other characters and in a show we won't be supposed to think is related to Tech because it isn’t a clone centric show

Not only is Tech still vital to the resolution of the bigger story, but there’s still so much plot that's been set up and then left hanging, and they continued to set up new things to come back to later on right up to the finale episode so it’s clear that this story is far from over

There may not be any more clone based shows, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be shows with clones in them. Like Rebels. That wasn’t clone centric, but they were still a key part of the overall story

SHIT i forgot to say this, so now i feel bad for making two posts about sick things in a row, but MY HAIR IS GROWING BACK bitchessss 😍

lmao, so before I started chemo, I had my hair cut to a crewcut type of style. So my hair was about 2 centimeters long. And then when it started falling out, I never shaved it to actually be bald. I just started shedding. All over my pillow. It was so annoying. So one night, I just pulled it all out (and no, it didn't hurt - imagine pulling a clump of hair from a husky dog during shedding season) and I dumped it on my bathroom floor (my mom cleaned it up the next day because I felt too sick lol). However there were a few strands that were, for whatever reason, fall-out resistant. I didn't pull those strands out (because pulling those out would've actually hurt), so I'm not technically bald. Do a google image search of "Eleanor bald Good Place" and you'll see what I mean lol. Anyway so I have a few strands of hair just like Eleanor's, which at this point are all about 5 centimeters long. But new hair is also growing, but it's just a stubble. So, check out this faaaabulous illustration of what my hair literally looks like in the mirror right now lmao:

It looks JUST as dorkish as my drawing lmao. Makes me laugh every time.

Anyway lol, I hope you all were as intrigued about these hair anecdotes as I hoped you would be, because honestly I'm fascinated by how all of this has happened.

this was going to be like a mile long essay but i just realized the most concise way to say it is that "it feels like a retcon that blitz has been so resentful and hostile towards fizz all this time since he was supposed to feel guilty" is simply not a good criticism when we have been shown, time and time again, that blitz's number one defense mechanism when he feels guilty or judged or attacked is to lash out, to deflect and ignore all his responsibility, and to shift the blame to someone else. that's like. his defining character flaw

[blujayonthewing]

me, constantly: one of the most frustrating things about playing for this DM is that he clearly just wants to have things happen to the characters without anyone ever questioning why

me to this DM, explaining felix: his entire thing as a character is that whenever anything happens he wants to find out as much information as possible about what's going on and why

me about his backstory: so my concept is that Something happened to him and he doesn't have any information about it so he's desperate to find out what exactly happened and why

DM: okay here's what I was thinking we'd do for your backstory: you went to this place seeking this group and talked to this person there and then, immediately after that, Something Happened. like, very obviously directly connected to that person and their group, which you already know about, and whom you'd obviously already know exactly how to find again if you wanted to get more information on what (else) exactly happened and why

[inkbotkowalski]

oh lol I finally made it through the second to last iZombie episode (yes, I know. I'm so awesome for enduring this crap), and they just gave Blaine a Heel Heel Turn. I didn't even know that was possible

Edit: ah, my bf said there's articles about how the last season is determined to undo all and any character development that has happened to everyone, and that seems apt
