Memories are weird sometimes. Especially early memories. You know the kind, right? One of those mental images that takes you years and years to identify, and yet it's etched onto your brain? And sometimes you remember it incorrectly, or make an incorrect assumption about it?

One of those nagging mental impressions that has stuck around with me for a couple decades is something from an episode of the 1997 Honey, I Shrunk the Kids TV series. It was from an ad- I never saw the actual episode. My memory of it was that it was about the characters either entering a film noir detective movie or time traveling back into the 1940s. There was an albino sewer alligator involved, and it gave me the impression that sewer alligators were a cliché or trope that was common in detective/gangster movies- a misconception that stuck with me for years afterwards until I started actually watching real detective movies like The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep.

But I could never quite shake that image, and it crept into one of my own works- The Adventures of an Evil Minion, which, among other things, is full of cartoony exaggerations of film noir, so albino sewer alligators are in it (at one point they were crocodiles, but I've since changed my mind).

It took forever for me to figure where it came from- I only found it yesterday. For some reason I couldn't find a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids episode guide that matched the description until then. As it turns out, somewhat unsurprisingly, I was misremembering it. It wasn't about film noir movies, nor was the alligator albino. Not sure why I thought it was- maybe the colors were washed out, and I made the connection between things living in the sewers and those pale, almost white-skinned cave-dwelling creatures (although I'm not sure if I heard of them yet).

It's from the episode "Honey, Let's Trick or Treat". It's actual plot is about a book of urban legends coming to life- sewer alligators, and a killer with a hook for a hand.

But, as it also turns out, I must've conflated it with an ad for another episode, "Honey, Whodunit"- which is about writing a mystery novel set in the 1940s.

The reason I had to have conflated the two is that this episode also has a killer with a hook for a hand- the same hook! The weird part is that I don't remember either character, but I don't see any other explanation.

So there you go. A childhood memory distorted and reshaped until it became a misconception, and finally an idea for a cartoon.

omg another oc redraw

og + info under the cut

og:

randy’s a relatively new oc, but i despised his hands and feet so i decided to redraw him and do him justice

he has no backstory except:

- he belonged to a random children-catering business that saw the success of fazbear’s restaraunts and decided to start itself up with it’s own robot mascot

fazbear stuff was much more popular so they went bankrupt reallyyy quickly since their business was very poor

they were planning to try and salvage as much stuff as possible and maybe get some quick cash by selling it, but before they could, their water pipes problems and the entire place flooded, basically ruining everything inside by the time it was discovered

the water was eventually drained because it was a safety hazard, but nothing was salvageable (and leakage remained, but not as severe)

they gave up and left, leaving everything behind, including poor randy

- his tail is all messed up because:

randy wanders the place aimlessly, stained and discolored from decades of mold, dust, and other unnameable substances, struggling to move from all the rust and dirt, but somehow still not dead in an endless cycle of electrocution of some sorts

it’s built out of a bunch of thin little segments that allow it very fluid movement (contrary to the rest of him apparently), with a fabric cover and lots of stuffing to make it soft (this limited a lot of said fluid movement unfortunately, but unlike fazbear’s, they valued safety a bit more)

after years of being dragged through puddles and water, the fabric stretched and loosened, and a lot of the stuffing either disintegrated or clumped up into chunks

because of the lack of stuffing and super loose fabric, the tail segments often got caught in the fabric, eventually tearing holes in it

the rest of the stuffing fell out, and only a few stray clumps remain

his tail is on the verge of falling off from rust

- his jaw:

he was overdue for maintenance since the business had no money to hire a technician

a big thing keeping his jaw in place on one side was very loose, and after years of water damage and neglect, his jaw finally went “bye” and is hanging on solidly by the other half of his chin

- his eyes:

the abandoned building was once a hidden gem for teenagers to sneak into on a summer night and vandalize and steal junk from

some kids came across randy and thought, “damn, this would be a sick souvenir”

they never left the building, and after a few weeks of searching all across town with no leads, they declared them dead

now the building is a urban legend, and while so many theories came up on how those kids went missing, nobody knows whether any of them are true

it’s the type of place the cliche jocks would dare the nerd to spend the night in to ‘prove himself to them’ idk

Randy kind of clocked him when he said he looked like a rat ngl

[fxckin-blackbeard]

ᒥ💀ᒧ—         Hot take, but the line "He was your friend" said by Jim to Kraken!Ed about Izzy always bothers me. Was he Edward's friend?? He was a really shitty friend, if so. Edward was terrible as the Kraken, don't get me wrong. But, Izzy wasn't a good guy before he lost his leg, either. He only tried to help Edward because it served him. Before that, he was thriving in Edward being Blackbeard again. You see that at the end of season 1, he's excited to feed Edward's darkness. This is just my opinion. Maybe a bad one, be gentle with me, we all interpret media differently.

Why the god forsaken FUCK is this JERMA MASHUP making me emotional

This song has has a chokehold on my brain for a good few months, it’s so good to put in the background while playing rivals or melee or doing coursework and just chilling.

The end especially really starts to make me FEEL THINGS™️

I’ve listened to the original song a few times and it is nowhere close to this mashup’s greatness.

Anyway life is beautiful because I get to listen to this and do maths and play video games hallelujah

The violence never touches them, never ever. They have no idea, they can’t even conceptualize anything outside of their small and sociopathic leech lives. Killing them isn’t enough. I want them put in reeducation camps and work until they die, just like the rest of us
