For the record, my current special interest is steel/titanium gothic accessories. I love them. They make me happy and feel warm inside. I wouldn't say I'm goth, but I do love to look terrifying. 70s gothic alt, maybe? I dunno. I'm not a style expert.

Also its a funny coincidence that I'm making a poll about a guy called Brian Johnson, because I'm wearing an AC/DC shirt as I type this lmao.

Edit: Link to the spoon episode, its in three parts

Do You Know This (non-canon) Autistic Character?

Propaganda from submitter

His gimmick in the show is trying to learn how normal people behave, which feels like an accidental autism allegory to me. He doesn't know social cues at all and solves social situations in weird ways. He misinterprets things. He gets fixated on different things, like his spoon collection and pen collection. When he's fixated on something, he wants to act on it right away instead of being patient, causing frustration in those around him.

When I was little me, my brother and sister would always watch this show called my parents are aliens and it was amazing. It was pretty much about these kids who were adopted by aliens posing as humans. And I can't find a single post about it on here so

[gayness-and-mayhem]

They've just put loads of My Parents Are Aliens on Britbox and I'm really trying my hardest not to freak out and watch them all at once.

Rating 500+ Theme Tunes - #7: My Parents are Aliens

This one is for all the British people of certain vintage... not that much vintage to be fair, but a certain one nonetheless! This CITV sitcom follows three orphan siblings with their new adoptive parents, who just happen to be a pair of stranded aliens. For those not in the know, this was a fairly successful show on CITV from 1999-2006 that I know many remember well, helped by many reruns. Did you know they just erase all memory of 7 seasons for season 8 to be a reboot that got cancelled? Wild.

While this show is most famous in the UK for being on CITV, it even aired on Nickelodeon! I'm unsure if it ever reached many audiences overseas, so you'll have to let me know. It's a show I hear a lot of people a few years older than me look back on with reverence, even if it has slipped through the cracks slightly for many in my generation. These sorts of sitcoms are absolutely a lost art in the modern day, but that's a wider change in British television and television as a whole in my opinion.

While it was likely reruns by the time I was watching it, I definitely remember My Parents are Aliens being one of the premier shows on CITV. These reruns lasted until 2017! This show is super iconic, I don't care if you don't remember it! I honestly can't remember much other than the intro and title, because I was pretty young when I was watching it properly, but I know I watched it a lot. My Mum used to bring this one up quite a lot, and from what I understand it was pretty popular as a whole family show. Now: theme time!

My Parents are Aliens Theme Tune

Now musically, it's a fairly simple tune. There's that science fiction twang to precedings here, which is a natural fit for the subject matter, but its definitely not something that sticks with me too much beyond the show's beginning. I don't really think it goes anywhere, and just sort of jumps around from sound to sound as it tells the story of the show through the visuals... very ugly visuals I must say. Still, it's a perfectly fine tune overall.

I don't have lots particularly great to say about this intro. but I also don't have much particularly bad to say about it. It's pretty simple, but still memorable in its own special way. Hence, I know exactly what I will be rating this theme tune, and that is a C!

Stay tuned for more and be sure to send in any suggestions for other shows you'd like to see done (after the 500 already in the pipeline that is). Check out the intro to this series here, and check out the tier list.

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:

There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’

like wow babe. good fucking point

[periswirl]

@brieflyimpossiblecreation Fun! I did end up going with a more human but to the left character design to fit in better with my idea of where they were in cannon. Part two

-----------

To say that things had gone terribly would be an understatement. The Ghost Investigation Ward had tried out their latest Weapon of Mass Destruction™️ meant to tear a hole open into the Infinite Realms so they could send in a different WoMD™️ (they clearly hadn't taken the Fenton's refusal to give them access to their portal well)

Fortunately for Team Phantom the Weapon didn't actually open a hole into the Infinite Realms.

Unfortunately for Team Phantom it did open a interdimensional portal to somewhere. And because Danny seemed to be lucks favorite punching bag he was sucked into said portal. Naturally Sam and Tucker were pulled in as well, because they were Ride or Die definitely not because they had been too close to get away in time; really.

While Danny's luck was bad Sam and Tucker had relatively decent luck which seemed to help cancel it out giving them the advantage of falling into a cornfield; a blow Sam was able to soften with usage of her power courtesy of being an exemplary host for Undergrowth.

---------

A man waded through piles of snapped corn stalks. He'd been on his early morning rounds when the crash had sounded in the early morning quiet.

As he came upon the crash site he noticed three small bodies, small compared to those he interacted with in the daily to be exact. Three teenagers stared back at him. All three had eyes so bright they were almost neon and slightly pointed ears. The one who's skin was tinted a blue color appeared to have fangs. The one with the neon violet eyes and hair so dark it seemed to suck the shadows into was looking at the corn that leaned towards her like sunflowers to the sun. The last, who smelled of a hot desert day and had breath thag sounded like radio static opened his mouth but the man spoke before he had the chance.

"Martha! Get the guest rooms ready. It happened again!"

Do You Know This (non-canon) Autistic Character?

Propaganda from submitter

"She acts similarly to the dad in the show because she's also an alien and therefore comes across as a good autism allegory lol. She doesn't understand or follow social cues and learns how to socialize through observing and copying the people around her. She gets fixated on things that feel cool and new to her, such as the concept of gossip, or rap music. She immerses herself entirely in her new interest until it's a problem for those around her."

[bestmothertournament]

Propaganda Under Cut:

Sophie Johnson (Foster Mother of Mel, Josh + Lucy Barker, C.J. + Harry + Becky, Jaq, Dan + Eddie Beckett): Tries her best even if she doesn't really understand earth, humans, human children or what they do need but does genuinely care for the children she has taken in. Has good motherly instincts (for an alien) and cares for the children and is good at spotting Josh's schemes.

Alma Madrigal (Mother of Pepa, Bruno + Julieta): Loves her children and grandchildren deeply and desperate to protect them and the magic so the tragedies of the past do not repeat themselves.

Prompt 84

Amity Park absolutely adores her little ghostling, her little Gatekeeper who was of her own ectoplasm, reborn from her own blood in the center of her new heart. She absolutely adores her baby, practically a newborn, being only a year dead! 

So of course she had to gush and boast about her little phantom to the other city spirits! They all got together to gossip sometimes after all. And both Smallville and Fawcett started to gush about their own little ones back! 

Gosh they should set up a playdate at some point, her little phantom could use some friends in the mortal realm. Well some more friends, three is obviously not enough. Oh, Gotham and Bludhaven have come over as well! It’s a playdate then! 

Now if only each of their world’s timelines were synced up, but at least everyone is around the same age!
