man being a formerly ugly kid is such a fucking trip
how do i even put this.........
you get the lowest self esteem in the world cause everyone looks at you like you're trash so what do we do as human beings in a society besides believe them? (i think believing your pack is something that helped humans survive this long, so it's human nature and all that)
BUT THEN
you become an adult
and all the little things you cared about as a kid wash away
and suddenly you're attractive because you learned how to not judge others based off looks
because every human being is so much more than whatever little detail you're hung up on
so...... now im a confident "attractive" person
and you realize a lot of people are attracted to confident people soooo suddenly you're "attractive"
yet another thing I look forward to when I feel safe enough to stop masking (lmao I've already stopped the autism masking tho)
im so looking forward to being ugly again
cause people BOTHER the fuck out of me now that I'm "attractive" in their eyes
just makes some stuff make sense now
growing is weird
but also so cool!!!!!
this is also making me realize why middle aged and elderly people are typically more of the generations that are at peace with themselves and their lives
when you get older you lose your attraction in the public eye so you pretty much have to cope with that or become bitter
being alive is one of the strangest things I've decided to do
but damn it all if im not having fun lmao
this adhd rant is brought to you by:

I had reservations about "Related to Items You've Viewed" because the plot sounded like an "Attack of the Killer App" rehash: a thinly veiled parody of a major corporation with Mom in charge, ready to take over the world again. However, instead of cracking unfunny Apple jokes for twenty minutes, this episode made "Momazon" the backdrop for Fry, Bender and Leela's emotional conflicts.
I was also dreading this episode because I thought "Oh boy, Fry's going to 'mature' and move into Leela's place, leaving Bender alone." Instead, I was thrilled to see Leela moving in with them. When Bender had a meltdown, the Frender shipper in me thought "Wow, Bender's not taking this well, huh?" Fry might've told Bender to screw off, but he worried about his feelings instead.
Most media portrays friendships as a diversion that you abandon when you enter a serious relationship. This happens in real life, too--how many people from older generations ditched all their friends after their weddings?
I always appreciated how Futurama never downplayed Fry and Bender's relationship. They date other people, but they're still each other's rocks. Instead of ditching their friendship, this episode strengthened it by having Bender overcome his jealousy.
Fry had several sweet moments where he worried about Bender: "Read it and weep, like I did" was so heartfelt. The Comedy Central run could be a little too mean-spirited, so I'm glad this season backed off on that. How can I care about the characters if they don't care about each other?
I also enjoyed watching the crew go on a delivery--haven't seen that in a while--and the jokes could've easily appeared in classic Fox episodes. Mom was also great. She was evil but still lovable in her weird way.
Anyway, some have criticized season eight for relying on nostalgia, but I mean--if the writing is good, I don't see anything wrong with bringing back fan favorites. Maybe I'd change my mind if we started seeing garbage episodes that relied entirely on callbacks, but right now, I just see them as loving tributes to the show.
People DO enjoy seeing old characters again. Why is that a bad thing? And some of these callbacks are "deep cuts," implying that the writers love the show as much as we do.

ive already freaked out a lot in private over the futurama teaser and press release so let me just throw out some updated Thoughts
ive been calling it hulurama for months so im vindicated that its canon
the fulu office space sight gag is so classic but i’ll be a little disappointed if the streaming satire is literal. i still hope it’s a weird sci-fi allegory about timestreams or something. or some weird planex business mumbo jumbo.
“the epic love story of fry and leela” is giving me so much energy. Let Them Move In Together Please. Let Them Get Married. Also Maybe Talk About Kids But They Don’t Need To Have Them Necessarily I’m Just Really Invested In Their Feelings On It
also if calculon is alive please let my joke about calculon end up being true
loving the leela and bender interactions we see lol
talked about it with friends and we now theorize that nibbler is the one getting worms, and that desert scene could be the result of a worm mixing with dark matter ad going full dune sandworm.
we are gonna get some on point mom satire this season i just know it

Instead of making another voice headcanon video for canon Kirby characters I decided that I would try and make one for some of my Kirby OCs. These are my voice headcanons for Lady Thera (Taranza’s mother), Trixie (Susie’s mother), and Gem (Daroach’s former girlfriend). My explanations for the voices I chose are under the cut.
Katey Sagal as Lady Thera: You might recognize Katey Sagal as the voice of Leela from Futurama, but the clips I used here are of her voicing Mordecai’s mom in Regular Show. I felt like her voice was fitting for a character like Thera who’s a very sweet and involved mother to her son but who also gets a little too involved at times and sometimes unintentionally embarrasses her son in front of his friends and girlfriend.
Blair Brown as Trixie: I recently finished watching this show Fringe (very good sci fi show by the way, highly recommend it) and in the show Blair Brown plays a businesswoman named Nina Sharp. Nina’s very cunning and mysterious; she has her own agenda but also helps out the main protagonists of the show and develops an almost motherly relationship with the main character Olivia. I thought her voice would be good for a character like Trixie who’s both a calculating businesswoman/wants to push the boundaries of science and technology yet also has a very motherly side and cares deeply for Susie and her friends. I also enjoy inside jokes with my voice casting, and while I haven’t made a voice headcanon video featuring my voice pick for him yet my voice headcanon for Susie’s father is also an actor from Fringe, so I thought it’d be a fun inside joke to have her mother voiced by a Fringe actor.
Sarah Stiles as Gem: If you’ve watched Steven Universe you’ll recognize Sarah Stiles as the voice of Spinel/the singer of Other Friends. Gem is a mob boss and some of my lore for her is that she runs a restaurant/club as a front for money laundering and her other mob activities, and she often performs as a singer at her own club, so I wanted to pick a voice actress for her who’s also a singer. I also envision Gem as having a little bit of a Brooklyn/New York accent since in my AU her and Daroach’s homeworld is somewhat based off of New York City.

The byproduct of rewatching Star Wars Rebels because of Ahsoka while also binging Futurama.
Leela and Hera bonding over being pilots and the respective mom friends of their bizarro found families.
Bender getting into an argument with Chopper that quickly escalates into a barfight. In the process, Hermes somehow loses his manwich.
Fry geeking out over Ezra letting him hold his lightsaber only to accidentally nearly lose an eye. Thankfully, Kanan was there to save Fry before he got fully blinded.
Amy & Sabine prank a sleeping Farnsworth by spray-painting his glasses red and blue like those old 3D glasses. When the Professor wakes up, he thinks he's come down with three-dimensional syndrome.
Zeb forges an unexpected friendship with Zoidberg.
Kallus resists the urge to choke the life out of Zapp Brannigan and bonding with Kif over how Zapp is even this highly ranked for someone this stupid.
Hermes offering some comfort to Rex after hearing about the Clone Wars and Order 66.
It turns out that Nibbler is old friends with Ahsoka back when she was Anakin's Padawan. In addition, at least one Nibblonian served on the Jedi Order and even ascended to the High Council during the High Republic Era.

Ever watch Futurama?
Not much, no. I've seen some episodes, but my prime TV watchin' ages were when I was young enough to sit and watch whatever my Mom was watching.
So I saw a lot of Cheers. Friends. Seinfeld. Frasier. The Nanny. Rosanne. Murphy Brown. 3rd Rock from the Sun. Home Improvement. Mad About You. Drew Carey...
Sorry. Was going down a list of "the best 90's sitcoms" and ended up typing out whatever grabbed a memory. There's more, but you get the point.
She also loved shows like the X-Files, and its lesser known spiritual spinoff, Millennium (with Lance Hendrikson). Sometimes I'd beg her and get lucky enough for us to watch something like Family Matters or the odd episode of The Simpsons.
Futurama's hayday was when I was willing to spend more time with video games or more often on the internet talking to my friends. That was the era of dial-up internet still, and my Mom loved to call her sister up on the phone and chat -- but she'd hang up to focus on TV. So while she had her TV time, the phone line was open for me to go online.
By the time Futurama entered syndication, I didn't really have access to a TV, and I especially didn't have cable on any screen where I could see Futurama about the time it got added to Adult Swim.
I've seen a few episodes, but I can probably count them on one hand.
Skimming an episode guide: I've seen the pilot, Robot Hell, the Slurm factory episode, the Snu Snu episode, the video games episode, and the episode where they (first?) visit Leela's parents in the sewer.
Oh, and the episode where Leela basically gets reduced to reprising her role as Peg Bundy.
And that's it. And most of those I saw going on 15 or 20 years ago.

on saturday at Leela's birthday party she went outside on the porch for a phone call. when she came back in everyone had assembled to sing her happy birthday loudly, upon which followed three friends (one friend an two boyfriends of friends) gave tipsy speeches about the quality of leela's friendship while she smiled and cried and looked at me shaking her head. I mouthed are you okAY??? and she shook her head during the long boyfriend speech. when it wrapped up she dragged me upstairs and said my dad died ten minutes ago. we cried heavy, obviously. then, we cackled heavy, because what kind of psychotic shitshow season finale bs is finding out your dead died immediately before being the center of birthday attention where no one knows what planet-altering occurence just happened to you?
my housemate's mom died last night. she's been in the ICU for a week, moved to comfort care and stopped breathing in 24 hours. they are out their with the family, but I picked up their partner (who needed an emotional break) from the train station yesterday, only for them to get the call a few hours later. this would be the 3rd close friend whose lost a parent since my dad died - all of us in our early 30s. this feels too young for us? like we aren't supposed to hit this era? a bridge in Baltimore is destroyed and many workers and people in cars fall into the water and die and I wake up to so many texts checking on me and asking if i'm triggered, but every day I force myself to read and listen to devastation in Gaza and the tenor of the year is just so fully beset by grief it barely ripples me - just adds to the height of the swell.

Futurama Season 8 Part One Spoiler-Filled Review
Tumblr media
Futurama is a mature animated sitcom with elements from the sci-fi and comedy drama genres. The original series aired from 1999 to 2003, then 2008 to 2013. Matt Groening created this series, like The Simpsons and Disenchantment. He developed it with David X. Cohen. Both were executive producers along with Ken Keeler and Claudia Katz.
Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs and Wayback Machine. This was the fifty-fifth article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on November 9, 2023. By this article, I've surpassed how many reviews I wrote for The Geekiary (52 posts), meaning I have written more for PCM than The Geekiary!
Part One of Futurama's eighth production season (and eleventh broadcast season) is a Hulu revival. It focuses on a crew of six misfits who work for Planet Express, a package delivery company. Turanga Leela (voiced by Katey Segal) pilots the Planet Express Ship. In a continuation from the Season 7 finale, she is the girlfriend of Philip J. Fry (voiced by Billy West), a man cryogenically frozen for 1,000 years before arriving in January 2999. They are joined by a foul, impertinent, alcoholic, smoking, and egocentric robot named Bender Bending Rodriguez (voiced by John DiMaggio), or Bender for short, the staff physician and lobster-like extraterrestrial John A. Zoidberg (voiced by West), and long-term accident-prone and ditzy intern Amy Wong (voiced by Lauren Tom). Other protagonists include company founder Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth (voiced by West) and company accountant/bureaucrat Hermes Conrad (voiced by Phil LaMarr).
Some characters play supporting roles. This includes Amy's partner, Kif Kroker (voiced by Maurice LaMarche), a lieutenant and assistant of Captain Zapp Brannigan on the Nimbus, a Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP) starship. Brannigan, like Fry and the Professor, is voiced by Billy West. He is a general with 25 stars, part of DOOP, and has feelings for Leela. There's also a highly intelligent animal, who often acts cute and innocent, named Lord Nibbler (voiced by Frank Welker), the rough janitor Scruffy (voiced by David Herman), and an aggressive corporate CEO named Carol "Mom" Miller (voiced by Tress MacNeille). She heads a mega-conglomerate known as MomCorp, which monopolizes robot production. She has three sons (Walt, Larry and Igner), and previous romantic relationships with the Professor and his nemesis, Dr. Ogden Wernstrom (voiced by Herman).
The first episode begins by re-introducing viewers to Futurama's characters. Bender cheers return of Leela, Fry, and their friends. The series takes place in 3023. Fry believes he has "achieved nothing" for his 23 years in the future. After taking Leela's advice, he pledges to watch every show ever made. He does this even after Bender warns him about the terrible TV content out there. There are also jokes on actual show names in blink-and-you-miss-it moments. Fry subscribes to the fourth-biggest streaming service in the world, known as Fulu, a play off Hulu.
The episode has social commentary about the binge model: Fry wears goggles which drill directly into your brain. Such devices allow a user to watch all the episodes in one continuous stretch but you must sit perfectly still in an all-encompassing metal suit. In the real world, binging a series can lead to regret, depending on whether viewers plan binging ahead of time. It can contribute to people feeling like they are "bored" unless they binge shows. In the case of this episode, Fry stays in a chair, sitting perfectly still for months without any breaks. His mind is soon overpowered by binging. He loses touch with reality.
In a plot line which echoes the goals of the recently concluded WGA strike, and ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Fry's friends convince the robot bosses of Fulu to reboot All My Circuits. They produce episodes as fast as they can, so that Fry doesn't die. To make matters worse, Fry watches the episodes at double-speed. The writers can't keep up with the fast script production. Bender declares that "any idiot can be a TV writer," beginning to write scripts himself. This episode makes clear how writers are so stressed/crunched in the current entertainment industry. The writers collapse from exhaustion during the episode.
The episode ends with the reality of the entertainment industry: executives give constructive notes, say the show isn't working, cancel it, and declare "you will always been an important part of the Fulu family." The episode undoubtedly comments on how TV shows work and ravenous corporate executives. I the past year, Ridley Jones, Inside Job, Dead End: Paranormal Park, and Human Resources were cancelled by Netflix, while The Owl House and Archer ended. For Fry, his friends attempt to shift his focus from the streaming world back to the real world. This plan is unsuccessful, as there is a huge explosion, and they believe he is dead. In reality, he had left the suit two days before, so he could catch up on reading.
Fry admits he stopped watching All My Circuits because the show quality decreased in the last couple of episodes (because Bender wrote them). In another timely moment, there is a mock presidential summit on the dangers of streaming television. Fry declares that shows should not be rebooted without quality. He states that viewers must binge responsibly, streaming no more than 10 episodes in a row. He adds that a TV show must be cancelled every few years if it cares about its audience. This episode is an effective way to begin the series. Even so, it is more dramatic than funny, with some comedic moments.
The next two episodes focus on entirely different subjects. One talks about definition of motherhood, noting that Amy is the smizmar of Kif Kroker and mother of their child even though she contributed no DNA, unlike Scruffy, Kiff, and Leela. Another is on the nose when it comes to social commentary about the cryptocurrency boom and Bitcoin. In that episode, Leela calls the latter a "pyramid scheme for rubes," after the Professor reveals that Planet Express went bankrupt because he invested in it. What follows is an episode spoofing the Gold Rush. The characters go out West, hoping to strike it rich, traveling to a town where all the electricity goes to Bitcoin mining computers, with everything else resembling the Old West.
If that isn't enough, everyone has a Wild West-flair. Roberto has a knife-shooter gun. Leela becomes a barmaid/sex worker. Fry meets a man made of borax (Borax Kid). Zoidberg becomes the town doctor. Dwight tries to team up with Roberto to rob a stagecoach (and take a USB stick). Bender kills a donkey by accident. In one of episode's, best jokes, they use Bender's "shiny metal ass" to sift through river stones. Amy complains there is very little Thalium and just "worthless gold."
youtube
The episode ends with their confrontation at the Bitcoin mine. The saloonkeeper, Delilah (voiced by MacNeille), is using robot heads to calculate numbers. She defends her action, says that all the money earned is donated to an orphanage. In the end, she gets away with it, even putting three heads of the robot mafia into "the mine." Even so, the Borax Kid is punished for copying public domain stories almost word-for-word and changing a few words himself, so he could get the glory. This story ends with a classic so-called "Mexican standoff": everyone fired guns at each other, and the characters shown from multiple angles. The episode closes with everyone walking off into the sunset together, a good ending for the main cast.
The fourth episode is one of the best in this series revival. The beginning, which centers on worms attacking Nibbler's brain, seems to be on par with usual shenanigans in other episodes. This changes when the crew are transported in a toy tank, inside of Nibbler's litter box. They come across dung beetles and magic psychedelic dust. In a clear parody of Dune, the beetles lead them through the sand to find the worms, setting off a pounder (like a thumper) to attract the sandworm. In a callback to the original series, these worms are the same ones that once made Fry smarter. This goes even further: Nibbler claims to be "the messiah." He declares that everything is interconnected and should stay as it is, undisturbed.
As a result, Leela becomes despondent. She even surrounds herself in pure uncut magical sand. It helps her see how everything is interconnected. It is revealed that smaller parasites are weakening the worms. They put aside the whole "everything is connected" mantra to stomp out the smaller parasites, saying a line must be drawn somewhere. This is akin to characters discussing eating good "meat" in a 2000 Futurama episode, entitled "The Problem with Popplers." Later, Nibbler talks to his fellow intelligent beings about how Leela's bravery and loyalty allowed his previous consciousness to be restored.
More than other episodes, this is the most inventive, even featuring a character chewing on a Bart Simpson doll. As Jean wrote in a review on this very website, Dune, based on the well-known novel by Frank Herbert, can have a twisted timeline, dense plot, and have a wide scope and scale. It is, more than anything, a sci-fi epic, centering on the desert planet of Arrakis, with the resource of spice sought after by all. Even with its sweeping visuals, make-up, and CGI, there is exposition over the top. Characters are often referenced by their full names rather than abbreviations. The film is relatively long. Some of this energy comes through in this Futurama spoof, which is a sci-fi series quite different from Dune or Release the Spyce.
The fifth episode has extreme relevance when it comes to corporate conglomerates which dominate the economic landscape. Mom is the epitome of this, with her Momazon service, a play off Amazon, which runs a "fulfillment center" on the Moon. Some people resist these efforts, saying that her warehouse is polluting the Moon. She buys everyone off with speech recognition software known as Invasa, her version of Alexa. The way that the warehouse functions echoes criticism of Amazon for avoiding taxes, toxic work culture, and mass data collection from consumers. These workplaces take the conditions of the real-life equivalent a step further. They are fully automated by non-union robot workers who endure the conditions 24 hours, 7 days a week. When Mom is challenged by Leela, saying the robots are engaged in forced labor, she says the workers enjoy the work.
Not everything is happy: Bender, after quitting Planet Express, is forced to work at the plant. He even sends a package with a warning so his friends will save him. To make matters worse, the "wonderful" artificial intelligence (A.I)., turns against Mom, going rogue, and it ends up taking over the entire universe. As such, they can order what they want from Momazon with quick deliveries, which is supported by abysmal labor conditions. There are many Futurama callbacks, like the destruction of the Apollo lander, the man with a hat declaring "The Moon Will Rise Again," and the return of Al Gore's floating head. Bender ends up back in the same apartment with Fry and Leela, and is fine being the third wheel, rather than working in a warehouse.
This episode is not unique in criticizing A.I. Take Light Hope in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, who tries to activate a planet-destroying weapon to annihilate the universe, and attempts to exploit Adora (as She-Ra) to accomplish that end, or Lunella's A.I., Skipster, in Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which skips important parts of her life that she found "boring." Also consider Cyrano in Cleopatra in Space, an A.I. created by series villain Octavian who tries to control a protagonist, and a paranoid A.I. scared of ghosts, the godlike A.I. depicted in The Orbital Children, or malevolent A.I. in Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Moon Girl has a living/A.I. supercomputer named LOS-307. An A.I. named T.O.M.I. (Technical Operations Management Interface) is in Supa Team 4. A ship navigator named KRS is in My Dad the Bounty Hunter. The worst example of A.I. is in the first, and second (to a lesser extent) of idolish music series Kizuna no Allele. That series had a pro-NFT segment and almost encourages creation of anime by A.I. This Futurama episode leans toward criticism in Cleopatra in Space, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Moon Girl, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and The Orbital Children, and away from other depictions. The episode acknowledges prevalence of A.I., as Carole & Tuesday does, with a music producer named Tao using advanced A.I. to ensure performers are profitable. It hints at danger of relying on A.I., which relies upon models trained by extremely low-paid workers.
Other episodes are callbacks or more relevant now than they would be even five years from now. One is an X-Mas themed episode featuring efforts to stop murderous Robot Santa with a time travel machine. Another parodies the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This involves quarantines, masks worn on ears, people working remotely, and conspiracy theories on Facebag (the version of Facebook in this world). The latter is enhanced by competition between the Professor and his sworn nemesis, Wornstrom. The Professor gives people a flimsy paper card (a dig at COVID-19 paper cards) and 3D chips inside of a vaccine to track it. The episode ends when everyone gets a vaccine using voodoo practices, likely a reference to Louisiana Voodoo rather than Trinidadian Vodunu or similar syncretic religious practices in the African diaspora. The episode ends with the statement that any sufficiently advanced magic is distinguishable from science.
This Futurama episode was one of the more hilarious ones. It echoed a "missing" Cleopatra in Space episode about protagonist Cleo facing the consequences of avoiding quarantine, and the August 2011 Futurama episode "Cold Warriors." The former includes Cleo realizing, after she infects the entire campus (but is a carrier), the importance of quarantine. At the episode's end, she enters quarantine as she presumably has common cold, and declares “quarantine stinks!” The Futurama episode is different because it parodies the oft remote work and hints at delays from the virus.
youtube
The eighth episode is just as strong. Zapp is brought before a DOOP disciplinary hearing after an egregious incident with Kiff. It is declared that he is "cancelled." DOOP strips him of his title and states that he must undergo mandatory sensitivity training. The episode centers on "cancel culture," known as consequence culture. It has been covered poorly in some media and better elsewhere. In this episode, Leela becomes captain of the Nimbus. Fry and Bender join her as first officers. The sensitive training class teacher, Dr. Kind (voiced by DiMaggio), is abusive, and DOOP's worse groper.
While Zapp apologizes to those he harmed and Leela gets a medal of valor, there's a lot more going on. There are sequences which resemble Star Trek films, part of an all-around parody of Star Trek itself, including about the Prime Directive. Leela, Fry, Bender, and others come down to the planet in a bucket, making the residents of Tacila believe they are not advanced. Their society has sophisticated machinery running on pneumatic technology. This aligns with the original Futurama series where DOOP engaged in intensive mining operations and worry of Beckett Mariner in Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 that Starfleet has become a fighting force involved in armed conflict. DOOP only wants a treaty with Tacila to acquire air rights.
This episode ends with Dr. Kind, almost ruining the air with a Durian. At the last second, Bender (likely) orders the Nimbus to fire upon Dr. Kind, killing him. Later, Leela gets the aforementioned medal. She is discharged for not wanting to fire on innocent civilians. Everything returns to the status quo. Leela, Fry, and Bender return to Planet Express. Zapp goes back to DOOP. He doesn't care about civilian casualties if it "gets the job done." At the episode's end, the idea of consent is emphasized. Zoidberg sucks on Leela because of the Durian smell, and she thanks him for asking first.
Futurama's penultimate episode is a mixed bag. It includes some good moments poking fun at toy commercials, but is also dark with death, dismemberment (of cars), horrors of war, and the like. There is a strange plotline about a Space Prince (voiced by LaMarr), who Leela only loves because of a spell. Even so, there are good points about absurdity of religion (to an extent) and respecting ability of women to voice their opinions (although Bender doesn't support that view).
The final episode, for now, goes further, touching on the meaning of "life." The Professor creates a simulated universe, with copies in three-bit form. He declares that the simulation's beings are "nothing more than ones and zeroes" and aren't real. After he promises to Bender that the simulation won't be terminated, he changes his mind. He even finds an alternate power source to keep the universe functioning. Bender goes into this simulated world, wanting to tell them the truth (that the Professor made the world). He decides to not do so after that world's Fry, declares that it doesn't matter.
The episode closes with Bender returning to the real world. A solution to preserving the simulated world is presented: underclocking the processor. Although these beings realize the world is simulated, they care little about it. In many ways, this episode echoes the computer programs, known as "programs" in Tron: Uprising, but those depicted here are more basic.
Moving on, a largely-circulated spreadsheet in which people anonymously described their conditions in animation studios, does not mention The ULULU Company, previously known as The Curiosity Company, an animation studio and production company, that produced this series and Disenchantment. The company previously worked on the five Futurama films. Sadly, it isn't listed on Glassdoor. So, the company's conditions cannot be determined. Hopefully, people are being treated fairly and the work environment is productive.
The same spreadsheet had eight entries for Rough Draft Studios offices in Glendale and Burbank. These reviews were overwhelmingly negative, with anonymous entries saying there was overwork, disorganization, harsh treatment, and inflexible hours. These revealed an anti-union environment with unionbusting in Burbank. The same studio previously reached an agreement with Local 839 of the Animation Guild, which covered animated TV series and features at their studio in Glendale.
It is hard to know where the series will go from here. This is only part one of the eighth season. It has ten more episodes of its Hulu run, as part of the revival. Watching this revival is nostalgic. It was one of the first animated series I ever watched. I fondly remember episodes parodying Napster and homophobes opposing same-sex marriage, and visual jokes. Some episodes coined terms such as robosexuality, meaning love/sexuality between a robot and humanoid. The strong sci-fi themes stuck with me: the series premiere had the protagonist (Fry) time travel from 1999 to 2999. More than that, there was dimensional travel, voice actors such as Dawnn Lewis and Frank Welker, commentary on worker exploitation, heartfelt moments, advertising parodies, and storylines focusing on family history, roots, and connections.
Overall, the Futurama revival is different feel than the original. Even so, it differs from Final Space, and others like Disenchantment, and Steven Universe. The series is not fundamentally different than the original show. It is improved without few changes. For instance, there are no episodes about queer identity of main cast members or anything along those lines. In this way, it is like The Proud Family revival. Hopefully, the series continues to improve as it moves forward into Season 8 Part 2, and beyond. Futurama is currently streaming on Hulu, Apple TV+, and Disney+ (in some jurisdictions).

Helluva Boss Theory: Stella Isn’t Octavia’s True Mother (and Stolas Is The True Victim NOT Stella.)
[Note: do NOT reblog without permission, reading this post is optional, and this will talk about Stella while being Octavia’s Bio-Mother, but also at the same time not being Octavia’s True Mom....this will also mention r*pe in this theory post, and Toxic-Feminist who think it is just women or girls who go through that, need to shut up, please.....and if some Toxic-Feminist and their Toxic-Male Counterparts who are just as bad as them, don’t want to read this either, then well, they don’t have to......but anyway, to those who aren’t Toxic-Feminist and aren’t their Toxic-Male Counterparts....please feel free to still read this, if you want to, it’s okay if not everyone reads this, as I said before, it is optional.]      
this theory was possible thanks to one of the episodes of Helluva Boss, which is thanks to The Circus, as well as a episode from Futurama, where Kiff became Pregnant with Leela’s children....but technically, Amy would be the true mother, even if the DNA came from Leela....
so in other words, Stella is the Leela, but in slightly different way....
and Stolas is Kiff, and Blitz is Amy.....
Stella may have had the Egg, but she is possibly not the reason why Stolas was finally able to have a child with Stella.
and it is pretty clear that their “tries” was not of full consent from Stolas’s part, if it does indeed hint to that, and some fans have theorized because of the episode The Circus, when Stolas and Stella married, Stella herself had forced herself on Stolas even when he didn’t want to and possibly wasn’t ready.
and we know how Stella talks about how Stolas does nothing, and she does all the work, it is pretty clear to what it may imply, and even fans can figure out what it does imply to, even when it is not fully said but is hinted....
Stella has been violating Stolas since they first got married, which I guess it does make some alternate counterparts of herself in Fanon Timeline AU who never did such a thing, a bit more likable than her main timeline self....
some might argue that Stella did Nothing wrong, but that is like nothing wrong my butt.....she not only had verbally abused Stolas, she had also physically abused him.....
and it’s possible that Stolas’s thoughts of Blitz and his feelings to him, and possibly the last time they saw each other were perhaps maybe when they were maybe 19 to early 20s....
also no one has to take this theory seriously, as it is just that, a theory...
and the Egg that would become Octavia finally coming into existence...
it meant two things for Stolas, one, he got the one good thing that came out of that marriage, that is Octavia, who he would love and treasure no matter what....and two, it meant that he wont ever be touched in THAT way by that monster woman again, and forced against his will to mate with her.
and while he was still stuck marrying to her, at least until the divorce....
the scars that Stella had place on Stolas would still be there, and even if he might feel bad about hurting her, he might not fully understand what she did to him when they were still married, was really messed up, and no true spouse or soulmate would do such a thing to their other half.
Stella isn’t the victim, if she wasn’t such a pathetic excuse of a woman, and had shown a bit of gentleness to Stolas, and didn’t r*pe him all the time, maybe they could of had a better relationship even if it was just platonic and not romantic at all, like being married but in the friend zone.
Stolas might of been wrong to cheat, but with how she treats him, at least this time, when he did sleep with Blitz, it was of his full consent.
and if it truly does imply it, then it is possible that Stolas NEVER gave Stella full consent to do the things she had did to him when they were married.
even if he does hate her, he might still not fully understand that what she did to him was wrong and had done damage to him both mentally, emotionally and physically.
and if they had to bleep censor Stella confessing what she did to Stolas, when they were still married, and on their first night together as husband and wife, and even the other times when he didn’t want to have s*x with her...
and if Octavia had just came into the room and heard her Mom’s confession, then she might be disgusted with Stella and have a full understanding what Stella did was both cruel and wrong.
Octavia could have more of a understanding about Stella forcing Stolas into having s*x with her....
Octavia could learn about it both in books and online, and knowing about what it does to people both in the living world and in hell...
it could turn out that half of the Sinners that end up in Hell, in Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel.....were victims of r*pe.
and I wouldn’t be surprise if half of those sickos that did it, were the ones who do that messed up corrective r*pe.....which is just as bad as the other type.
and excuse me if this Earth Angel, hopes that those who do that corrective r*pe, end up going to Hell for it.......or better yet, the Abyss.
and even if some Earth Angels tell me “don’t think that way.”, well with how messed up some humans are, and even how messed up some angels are, it’s kind of hard not to have those thoughts....
 and like I said in the post before this one, if I had a Angelic Weapon, it would be boxing gloves to punch the stupidity and insensitivity out of some Masculine Angels, both those who have Fallen and those who have not....
anyway, it is possible that the fans could be guessing right about Stella having forcing herself on Stolas, even when he didn’t want to.
Stolas might feel bad about hurting Stella, because of the affair, but their marriage was arranged, and the arranged marriage wasn’t the true problem.
the problem was with Stella and her forcing Stolas into something he didn’t want from her, and the only thing that came out of it, that saved him from further abuse, was when Octavia when she was finally born.
Octavia was the one good thing that came out of that marriage, and Octavia might of not fully understood that her parents never loved each other even before the affair, and it is clear that Stolas did try to tell Octavia but couldn’t find the right words to explain it to her.
Stolas even tried to give Octavia a normal life, even when Stella went from forcing him to sleeping with her, to just verbal abuse and possibly physically hitting him.
even if Stolas’s feelings for Blitz is one-sided, and Blitz might not be in love with Stolas yet, but like Garnet said before...
“love at first sight doesn’t exist, love takes time, and you at least got to know the person first....”
this can be true for Stolas and Blitz, they have known each other since they first met as kids, and while Stolas may have experienced a love at first sight, but he might of not known he had fallen in love with Blitz, and the love he felt for Blitz would have to take time to fully grow and bloom.
and while there is those who do OTP ship Stolas x Blitz and hope they do end up together, and the ship is no longer just Semi-Canon.
but it might take time for it to go from Semi-Canon to Full Canon.
love takes time, and I think it might take trust.
Stolas might say pervy things to Blitz, and even still values him as his first friend and still sees him as one, but at the same time, he is in love with Blitz.
and even if Stolas made that agreement about his book with Blitz,
could it be possible that Stolas, the Prince himself, might not fully realize that he is in fact in love with Blitz, even if he watched some show with some characters Gabriella in it...
even with the hearts in his eyes, and being really happy to hear from Blitz and to be with him, I guess it could be possible the chances are that Stolas might not fully realize that he is in love with Blitz, and has only half realized it.
and Stolas finally being well semi-free from Stella, could be in a way thanks to Blitz, and it could take more emotional healing for him and accept the fact that Stella did do far worse than him when they were married.
it might be possible that Blitz could be viewed as the true mother or true other parents of Octavia, and not Stella.
which once again, this theory is thanks to the whole episode from Futurama and even the episode that may or may not imply that Stella forces herself on Stolas.
the only differences between Stella and Leela, is that Leela didn’t force herself on Kiff, and just tried to save him, but when she grab his hand, she had accidentally got him pregnant.
 but since Kiff’s feelings for Amy were what made it possible, Amy would be the true mother, even if the DNA came from Leela.
so even if Stella had many “tries” in trying to get a Egg....
what saved Stolas from another r*pe from that woman, would be that he had thoughts of when he had last saw Blitz, possibly when they were almost close to their 20s.....and Stolas feelings for Blitz was what made it possible for Octavia to be born.
Stella might want to put the full blame on Stolas, for their ruined marriage and him cheating on her.....but it wasn’t Blitz or Stolas’s cheating with Blitz that had ruined the marriage.....it was Stella who ruined it, the moment she forced herself on Stolas without his consent.
and yes if it is true that it does imply it, and it is not just a fan theory or guess, then that would mean that it is canon.
just because they were married, doesn’t mean it is okay for any spouse to do that messed up stuff, like saying “oh, it’s okay their married....” the frag it is!
even if a couple is married, there should be mutual consent from both parties.
I mean if Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel were real, I would rather be married to Alastor because at least he wouldn’t try to touch me in that way without my consent, yeah he is a dangerous Overlord, but he seems more safer to trust than some sickos who try to r*pe either because they can’t control their disgusting urges or if they are trying to do that disgusting corrective thing...
 heck, even if Ozzie and Fizz are all about that lust, I don’t think those two would be okay with what Stella did, and I guess would be clueless about it.
I mean Ozzie and Fizz would probably be a lot safer for me to marry if they were real, than some sickos who try to do forcing thing without consent.
and yeah like I had said before, I had a panic attack a few years ago....if I remember right, it was around 2015.....we were about to move to the house that we live in now.
I was alone and it may have been just a little dark, I don’t like being left in a car alone, no matter if it is day or night....and yeah, I did end up hitting my head on the ceiling of the car.
and I know the reason for the panic attack, was because I was scared of r*pe.
I’m not sure if anyone else has experience like that, I know I was hyperventilating when it had happen.
I think I am doing much better since that happen, and I can still have my guard up and try to do my best to protect my Maidenhood.
I don’t want my first, to be taken by someone who would try to r*pe me.
and yeah I can still call my virginity by Maidenhood, even if I am Nonbinary-Girl.
a Maiden is someone who hasn’t had s*x....but it is possible that the word can be misinterpreted.
if Nfirea’s Grandmother, calls herself a Maiden, she isn’t a maiden...
I’m talking about the characters from Overlord, not the Overlord 2007 video game series.....but the Overlord that has Ainz Ooal Gown.      
if it is true that Stella has both played the blame game and even played the victim is true, then it could be possible that her forcing Stolas without consent, into having s*x, could possibly be true.
yeah, Stolas shouldn’t of cheated, but it’s not like Stella was 100% a good wife who was emotionally supportive, maybe like in a Alternate Universe where a Alternate Timeline version of herself is not as bad and did care for Stolas, didn’t do what was possibly implied.
even if Stella might not see her actions as r*pe, but it just seem to have implied it by the way she words that Stolas doesn’t do anything and just stares at the wall while she does all the “work”.......and that he is terrible in bed.
yeah, it isn’t Stolas who is terrible in bed......it’s Stella who’s terrible in bed.
so yeah this is a mix of a theory about Stella NOT being Octavia’s true mother, even if she did have the egg, and it might of been Stolas’s feelings for Blitz and the last time they saw each other, may have been when they were almost in their 20′s....and how it was Stolas’s remembering the moments when he last seen his old friend Blitz and his feelings for him, that what allowed him to be come free from Stella’s forcing herself on him.
Octavia was born out of love, but not from Stella and Stolas’s love.
she was born from the love that Stolas felt for Blitz, which might of been a blessing that saved him from any further spouse abuse from Stella, at least in the s*xual way....
Stella was never the victim, she had both physically and verbally abused Stolas throughout their marriage, and once Octavia was born, Stella no longer had to force herself in that way on Stolas ever again.
which may have made Stolas happy, not having to go through that again, even if he still had to sleep next to her.
saying that Stella did nothing wrong, and Stolas is in full blame, wouldn’t be right, in a way they are both at fault, but Stolas is perhaps only at 98% at fault for having the affair while still being married to Stella, but Stella is still at 100% at fault because what she put Stolas through before the affair had happen.
Stolas taking some kind of happy pills, might have do do with his loveless marriage with Stella, we wont know until we find out more about those pills.
he might of started to take them, sometime after his first night with Stella.
it isn’t just women or girls that go through terrible stuff that Stolas had possibly went through, and even a lot of people no matter their gender, know this fact.
and yeah even if it be nice that what fans are theorizing about Stella having forced herself on Stolas, might not be true.
but it could still be implied but not be fully confirmed.
we can only wait and see if it is true.
and even if the theory might be seen as weird, but it is just I’m gonna view how Stolas was able to finally become a father to Octavia, and it being his love for Blitz had let him be free from Stella touching him each night without his consent, I mean if it is true that it was not of his consent....
even if Stella was hurt that Stolas cheated on her, it might not of been because she had loved him, and maybe we will find out more if it isn’t just because of her being worried about her image and the Ars Goetia name.
but if the theory and the possible implying is indeed true....
this would mean that Stella is the one that hurt Stolas first, and far worse than he had done, and she can’t hide behind her fancy title either.
anyway it’s okay that not everyone agrees about the theory that has to do with Stella technically not being Octavia’s true mother, because of the whole it being like how Kiff got pregnant with Leela’s accidental help, but the feelings of love were towards Amy who is seen as the true mother, even if the DNA came from Leela.....
so yeah, Blitz is Amy, Stolas is Kiff and Stella is Leela.....but in a slightly different way, I’m weird and that is how I am gonna view it.
now I am going to post a FNAF theory next.

Leela - 🪄🎈🔮 Callista - 😶‍🌫️ 🩶🤔
Leela
🪄 MAGIC WAND — would you describe yourself as a superstitious person (someone who believes in superstitions)? do you believe in luck?
With the way Leela's parents raised her, she believes in a lot of superstitions as many of them influenced her traditional beliefs & culture. Her view on luck is pragmatic. She recognizes the rol of chance in life's events but attributes much of her success & challenges to hard work, resilience, & circumstances. She does acknowledge that certain fortuitous events or coincidences have played a role in her life, such as meeting Aaron.
🎈 BALLOON — what is something you've created and/or accomplished recently that you're proud of?
Leela has accomplished several things recently that she's particularly proud of. One of them being creating a new & stable home after Aaron's death. She's proud of her ability to maintain a loving and nurturing home despite the immense emotional and practical challenges she has faced. She is also proud of the significant development of the English curriculum at Antioch High School.
🔮 CRYSTAL BALL — what is a core memory from your childhood that you think defines you today?
A core memory from Leela’s childhood that significantly defines her today is the time she spent with her grandmother, Lakshmi, in Chennai, India, during her summer holidays. Every summer, young Leela would travel from London to Chennai to spend a few weeks with her paternal grandmother. These visits were a cherished tradition and a highlight of her childhood. Her grandmother introduced her to various Tamil customs & traditions, from visiting temples to participating in festivals, as well as cooking traditional Tamil dishes. During these times of cooking, Lakshmi would tell Leela stories from Indian mythology, folklore, & her own life experiences. This fascinated Leela & nurtured her love for literature & storytelling, also providing valuable life lessons that have stayed with her. The unconditional love and care Leela received from her grandmother made her feel cherished and secure.
Callista
😶‍🌫️ FACE IN CLOUDS — is there something you're hiding from the people you love? if so, how urgent is it for them to hear it? what's holding you back from sharing it?
Callista's pregnancy is the main secret she's hiding from everyone she loves, except her brother. The urgency of revealing this secret is demandingly increasing, as her symptoms are becoming harder to conceal & will eventually become physically apparent. She is keeping the pregnancy a secret because she is uncertain about the future; how the pregnancy will impact her career & the band's success. The rituals they perform are already making her uncomfortable, & she knows that her priorities will need to shift. Admitting she's pregnant means facing a reality she's still grappling with. It's a loss of control over her body and her life’s direction. Callista is still processing her own feelings about the pregnancy. She needs time to come to terms with it herself before she can share it with others.
🩶 GRAY HEART — what kind of friend do your friends consider you to be (mom friend, uncle friend, funny friend, etc) and why? what do you think this says about your personality?
Callista's unwavering loyalty, deep sense of empathy, resourcefulness, & resilience have made her to be considered as the "Protective Friend/Mom Friend". She slightly enjoys it, but with the upcoming pregnancy, it makes her feel slightly unsure about her role.
🤔 THINKING FACE — what three emotions tend to dominate your mindset? do you know why they do?
Determination: Callista’s determination stems from her drive to succeed both in her music career and personal life. Her ambition to excel as a drummer and make a name for herself in the music industry fuels her persistence. Additionally, her determination is amplified by her current situation of being pregnant and wanting to provide a stable future for her child. This emotion pushes her to keep going, despite the challenges she faces. Anxiety: Her anxiety is linked to the uncertainty & fear surrounding her pregnancy. The prospect of how her bandmates & family will react, the changes it will bring to her lifestyle, & the responsibilities of becoming a mother all contribute to her anxious mindset. Her involvement in Satanic Panic & the dark rituals they perform add another layer of anxiety, as she starts to question her participation & its implications on her & her baby's well being. Empathy: Her deep sense of empathy is a significant part of her personality. Her ability to connect with others' emotions & provide support shows her caring nature. This emathy is a result of her own experiences with hardship & loss, making her more sensitive to others' struggles. It also drivers her protective instincts towards her friends & family, ensuring that she is there for them whenever they need her.

hmmm. AU where leela gets adopted by mom in real life like she dreamed about in the second anthology of interest.
she would probably be old enough to still have suffered all the bullying and trauma at the orphanarium, but when she’s like 17 mom comes in, suited up in her business persona, to make a publicity stunt about “saving” and “fixing” an underprivileged “disfigured” orphan (of course she’d never adopt one of the small children, they’re disgusting little bastards and can’t help her one damn bit). 
leela is enthralled -- this is pretty much the daddy warbucks dream! sure, mom insists on leela getting surgery to get a second eye (not just a paraffin one this time, but a cybernetic eyeball that mom is testing to sell to the public) and is basically grooming leela to be a miniature version of herself with enough passive-aggression to ensure leela doesn’t believe she could succeed or be loved anywhere else, but as far as leela knows, this is what motherly love is!
she grows up with much more luxury than she ever had in canon, developing a bit of an ego and an apathic complacency towards mom’s amoral behavior, but still feels like something is missing. as she gets older and more competent at the company, she starts to catch on that mom is deliberately keeping her from succeeding her, as well as dissuading her from getting attached to anybody else (especially dating, jesus christ no, the last thing we need is more imbecilic men and helpless brats around the place, and besides, who would ever love you knowing what you used to be?). her brothers all resent her because mom at least shows some genuine attachment to leela, and they probably would have tried to kill her if they weren’t so hilariously incompetent. 
fry still freezes and unfreezes (closed loop of “the why of fry” aside) but leela doesn’t work at the cryolab. he may be chipped successfully cuz the other workers don’t take as much pity on him, but i’m not sure if he would be able to work for farnsworth legally as his role is technically “delivery boy” there. not sure if he’d meet bender the same way. leela would still know amy though, because she accompanies mom to many billionaire gatherings where the wongs also happen to be -- they’re situational friends, and amy doesn’t condescend leela the same way, but their upbringings prevent them from getting too honest or intimate. so they just smile and drink together. 
and then one day leela attends roboticon with mom, only for mom and farnsworth to cross paths and naturally get into a horrible squabble. but then farnsworth’s.... grandson? nephew? he says “uncle” but that can’t be right.... asks leela if she wants to hang out while their guardians are distracted, and well.... she’s more than a little curious to see how the other half lives.

This is a personal blog that I treat like a diary, except y'all can read it. I think plenty of the shit that happens around here is funny, and I like sharing. The other shit... I just need to get off my chest sometimes.
Oh, and I reblog plenty of stuff. I like memes and I'm in multiple fandoms.
The Staers of my stories:
Mom: 42F. Her existence has been getting on my nerves the last couple of years, and I'm sure I've been doing the same to her. I've tried in the past to connect with her, but I've basically given up now. Fucks are only given when some are also received.
Me: 23F. Autistic and severely struggling with suspected OCD. Probably went through gifted kid burnout. I cope with life by typing about it and taking a lot of pics. Sometimes things actually end up on Instagram. Currently trying to get my life together.
Skye: 18F, my only full sibling. The most entertaining person in my life. Queen of Crackhead Energy. Probably literally my best friend because I suck at keeping in touch with people unless I see them every day. So far, slaying life in ways I never did.
Bry: 15M, half brother with a different dad. Usually gaming on his laptop. Sometimes chill, sometimes has out-of-pocket jokes. Been kinda cringe lately.
Xan: 10M, half brother with yet another dad. The biggest brat of the household. If he were born a girl, it wouldn't be a stretch at all for him to have been named Karen. Has gotten violent before, but most often just screams. Some days, people simply existing around him sets him off. Especially Kare for some reason.
Kare: 8F, full sibling of Xan. Is nice to pretty much everyone, including Xan on a good day. Loves unicorns, farts, butts, boobs, and Mom.
"the littles": How the rest of us refer to Xan and Kare collectively. It's not "the twins" because they're two years apart, but they give Twin Energy sometimes.
Jerry/Terry: What I call my intrusive thoughts for shits and giggles. Often violent, self-harmy imagery that I don't ask for. Name came from Leela saying "shut up, Terry" in the first episode of Futurama, and I misremembered what name she said. I didn't remember that it was from Futurama at all, actually. Just the exasperated tone used.
Off-screen characters:
Dad, 71M. Was an eccentric dude. I headcanon that he was also autistic, and just never knew how to deal with it. So he was an alcoholic. According to Mom, also tried pretty much every drug except ones requiring needles. Was a fellow artist, making all sorts of stuff. Cheapskate, but still cared about Skye and I. Was cremated in 2021, and now resides on the bookcase in two different urns.
Alex, 42?F, older sister I've never met from Dad's first marriage. Heard she didn't like learning about me being born though. Currently lives in Texas. For all I know, she might be one of those Republican Karens. Has two sons I've also never met.
Ash, 21F. Kare and Xan's older sister from their dad's first marriage. Xan acts pretty similarly to her in the brattiness department, though he might be smarter academically. Haven't seen her since Xan was a baby. I wonder how she turned out.

CHAOS FIRST AND PEACE LATER...(part-2)
She getting emotional looking into his eyes, walks away from there leaving his hands and sits on the chair wiping her tears. He after a few seconds walks towards her, pulls a chair close to hers, sitting on the chair, holding her cheeks, wiping her tears says,
RAHAT: WHAT IS BOTHERING YOU LEELA? PLEASE SAY IT!
As she was about to talk, his phone kept on the table infront of them rings with a man's photo and his name saved as dad. RAHAT cuts that call after which she with a question mark face asks,
LEELA: HOW COME HE IS YOUR DAD?
RAHAT: ACTUALLY MOM TOLD ME A FEW WEEK AGO THAT HE IS MY BIOLOGICAL FATHER AND FROM THEN HE IS TRYING TO BUILD A BOND WITH MOM AND ME SO THAT HE CAN MAKE UP FOR LEAVING US AS SOON AS I WAS BORN BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT A BABY THAT EARLY BACK THEN.
LEELA: HE ACTUALLY WAS MY DAD'S FRIEND AND BUSINESS PARTNER WHICH THEY SET UP WHEN WE WERE IN COLLEGE AND ONE DAY, ONE EVENING BOTH OF THEM WERE HAVING DRINKS AT MY PLACE AND AFTER MY DAD PASSED OUT HE CAME INTO MY ROOM, LOCKED THE DOOR AND TRIED TO FORCE HIMSELF ON ME WHEN I IN SHOCK FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE HE MADE HIMSELF TRUSTWORTHY IN THE EYES OF MOM, DAD AND ME BUT AS HE THREW ME ON THE BED AND WAS ON TOP OF ME PULLING MY CLOTHES OF I KICKED HIM IN HIS CROCH, RAN OUTSIDE, OPEND THE MAIN DOOR, FOUND MY MOM COMING HOME AFTER HER WORK, TOLD HER EVERYTHING WHEN SHE CALLED THE POLICE WHO ARRIVED AND ARRESTED HIM ON 'ATTEMPT OF RAPE' AND THEN DIVORCED MY DAD LATER BECAUSE OF HIS CARERLESSNESS TOWARDS ME AFTER SENDING ME AWAY FROM THAT PLACE BECAUSE THAT MAN WAS OUT ON BAIL AS HE WAS INFLUENCIAL AF SAYING, "WE CAN FIGHT FOR JUSTICE BUT IT WILL TAKE DECADES TO PUT HIM BEHIND BARS BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF LAWYERS HE WILL PUT AGAINST US. I CAN'T SHIT YOUR FUTURE GOALS BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW TO THIS PLACE, IT HAS THE BEST COLLEGE FOR YOUR COURSE SO GO." SHE LATER TOLD ME THAT SHE HAS TO STAY THERE FOR HER JOB WHICH SHE COULDN'T LEAVE SO THAT SHE CAN FINANCE MINE AND HER FUTURE.
She starts crying when he in shock, not knowing what to do or say, drops tears continuously while holding her hands when she says,
LEELA: THAT ONE MAN, THAT ONE INCIDENT STILL TILL DATE GIVES ME ANXIETY ATTACKS WHEN SOMEONE LOCKS DOORS AROUND ME. HE FUCKING BROKE ME AND MY FAMILY THAT IS WHY PUTTING MY GOALS ASIDE I AM STUDYING LLB TO ONE DAY FIGHT MY OWN CASE AS A LAWYER.
He still holding her hands with his tears falling on the hands says,
RAHAT: I AM SORRY! I WANTED TO BE A PART OF EACH AND EVERY MOMENT OF YOURS BUT I WAS NOT THERE BESIDE YOU THAT EVENING.
Both of them look at eachother and were dropping tears holding hands.
After a few years, in the court, LEELA providing a CCTV footage of the opposite building showing the criminal's regular coming and going to LEELA'S house, bringing one more woman with her daughter who was also molested by this man before LEELA, makes them talk about that crime as witnesses. After a lot of delays and new dates, the court hears it and in it's verdict provides justice to LEELA and that another girl who was molested by that man.

Meetup with my kiddo after ages<3 - 16th April 2023
Tumblr media
Heyaaa, my awesome peeps! I gotta share with you about an amazing day I had with my Leela aka Kiddo, whom I'm meeting after ages!
Let me tell you a bit about Leela. She's always cool and calm, and never judging me for my crazy thoughts (I'm sure we all have them!). And you know what? she loves kidnapping cute kids! Don't worry, that was just a lil bit of sarcasm. Cause hey, SHE'S SO OBSESSED WITH KIDS & PUPPIES!!!
Let me tell you, we started off with some chill time with my other two buds, but lil did I know the highlight of my day was yet to come! When Leela called me up for a hangout sesh, I was EXCITED AF! and decided to meet her at any cost.
So, I headed over to her place and found her with her awesome mom and uncle! We chatted, laughed, and caught up on everything. And, omg her uncle's house was filled with cats, and I had to name one of them Ginger right away. (her reaction to that was priceless.)

But wait, there's more! My crazy friend, Elka, popped in, and we had a photoshoot with Leela's mom snapping away some candid shots! And you won't believe it, but Leela's mom was one of my favourite English teachers back in the day! She's such a chill and interesting person, just like her daughter!
Overall, it was a freakin' awesome day with my kiddo and her fam, and it reminded me just how important it is to cherish the crazy, fun relationships in our lives. Y'all need to go out there and give em THE ULTIMATE HUGGY WUGGIES
Peace out✌️
