see the thing is i don’t think he learned from vale not to repeat his patterns i think he learned EXACTLY what pattern to use he’s just too gunshy to stick to it because the press are like hounds on the rosquez scent, but dear sweet pecco needs to understand that the ACTUAL most important lesson from sepang is in fact that choices made in anger cannot be undone !!! anyways they’re ex-teammates btw. in case you’ve forgotten

Morph turning into female characters in X-Men '97

[yokoyas]

power coming to love two humans despite originally believing they all deserve to die and aki coming to love two devils despite originally hating them and thinking it was impossible for him to care about one and denji who toes the line between the two coming to love aki and power like siblings despite his history of being abused by men and seeking validation through sexual/romantic relationships with women. and denji turning down a vacation to take care of power and aki trying to keep them from having to fight the gun devil and them going with aki to visit his family’s grave and lightening the mood for him and trying to cook him dinner and power asking denji to find her even though she won’t know him and to love her until she’s her again anyway i hate this manga for making me sob hysterically multiple times.

hey remember when eddie diaz, the guy who’s known for being able to stay calm under pressure, ignored the laws of physics by trying to pull buck up towards him because he just needed him that close. like what the fuck. that was so fucked up of the show to do.

Certified Saturday Morning Bangers of the 80s

(Incomplete, In no Particular Order)

I've probably done this post before, or something dangerously close, but I don't care, so lets rock!

Where possible, i've gotten extended cuts. This means video quality won't always be prime, but we're here for the tunes.

No Guts No Glory - Galaxy Rangers Theme

No Guts no Glory is a strong opener, both for one of the bizarrely common space cowboy shows of the 80s and for this post. It is a textbook Saturday Morning Banger, more believable as a real song than some actual 80s radio hits minus the name shoutout to Galaxy Rangers.

Can't blame 'em for working the song into an episode as a music video. This is something modern 'toons ought to do. 3 minute pop-song opener, make the full version in an ep, and use that section as a youtube trailer.

M.A.S.K. Theme - M.A.S.K.: Mobile Armor Strike Kommand

MASK is a show that, if it didn't exist, would be the fake 80s cartoon in other TV shows, and the theme song is the platonic ideal of 80s cartoon theme songs, a Shuki Levy-penned techno-pop earworm proudly belting the show/toyline theme without a trace of irony.

No one would mistake it for a radio hit, but it still hits right. See the laser rays fire away, indeed.

Count Duckula Theme - Count Duckula

I literally have a whole post about this theme song.

As a fan of novelty music, this slaps.

Wheeled Warriors - Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

Can you sue a theme song for false advertising? Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was a notorious flop and a tower of missed potential. It's theme song, on the other hand, threads the needle evenly between the radio-ready Galaxy Rangers and the delightful cornball sincerity of M.A.S.K.

"Wheeled Warriors" may seem like an odd topic for a song but I remind you that Judas Priest exists.

Jem is My Name - Jem and the Holograms

This song actually would have topped the charts if the cassettes sold with the toys counted as album sales. That's not a joke.

It also beats the trend of "boast songs" with a guest verse from a rival band by literal decades. Truly a pioneer, truly, truly outrageous.

Zone Riders - Spiral Zone

Meanwhile, the opening to Spiral Zone was very indicative of what you'd get, a tonally odd mixture of high cheese and Poe-faced intensity. A chorus singing the concept of the show with the reverence of a hymn.

C.O.P.S. Theme - C.O.P.S. (Central Organization of Police Specialists)

No, not the FOX series that set humanity back decades, but the wacky 30s-retro cyberpunk G.I.Joe sequel. An excellent sample of a minimal theme song, not quire a pure instrumental, but a lot of fun and just pleasant to listen to.

I might post more later. But if you're looking for covers for your weird soundcloud project, there ya go.

have been experiencing a somewhat unpleasant phenomena on occasion recently wherein i become convinced, in a sort of “not-upset-just-disappointed” way, that virtually everything i've ever written is trite and stupid and worthless. a fun twist on this is that sometimes i instead feel that i have lost my touch and that everything i will ever write from here on out is doomed to be trite and stupid and worthless. i'd like to emphasize that for whatever reason i don't really find this distressing, just a little bit of a bummer. it would be cool if it stopped though i think that would be really swag

[coquelicoq]

usually i don't have any problem not thinking about work when i'm not getting paid to do so, but i made a big mistake earlier this week and spent five hours today dealing with the fallout and still have not managed to resolve it, and when i clocked out it was actually with this vague dread about leaving it unsolved instead of relief that it's finally the weekend. like it's bad that it's the weekend because it means i have to stop working on it?? wow. gross.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Spiral avatar Ford! I’m kinda obsessed with the idea lol

Hm... I haven't given it much thought, tbh.

I don't think the Spiral is something he'd go to on his own, personally. Logic and concrete answers and knowing is too important to him. He was more likely pulled into it, maybe by Bill in an effort to get him to see how fun insanity is.

Spiral Ford is based around the feeling you get when you've been awake too long, when you can't tell the difference between dreams and reality because it blurs together.

Are you in pain? Are you hungry? Thirsty? Tired? You can't tell, every feeling has become its opposite and you don't know what they mean any more. Letters blur in your vision, you can't even remember why it's so important for you to stay awake but the idea of sleeping terrifies you. Time has no meaning, did it ever mean anything in the first place? Of course it didn't. Nothing means anything. It never has.

He steps through the portal and the dazed, irritable confusion of sleep deprivation hits everyone the moment he sees Stan, realizes that his brother reactivated the portal and could have ended the world, and it only leaves when he notices there are kids here. He doesn't want to scare them. Insomnia is a regular thing with him in the house, at least until he starts going out at night. Maybe he's hungry, and that's why hes affecting the people around him. He can't tell. He doesn't know when he last ate, if it was food or fear. He finds someone or something to terrify every time he goes out, just to be safe.

He thrives in Weirdmageddon, the nonsensical nature of reality perfectly understandable to him, and it ends almost disappointingly soon because the ringing bell doesn't make him flinch and miss the shot when he knows it's coming. Why shouldn't a bell be alive? Why would it not ring itself? It doesn't make any sense, of course it would happen!

He latches on to Mabel more than Dipper. She makes less sense, she's less concrete and logical, she's less scared of the world losing its meaning. Easier to be around than someone so vulnerable to his specific brand of madness, someone who reminds him so much of how he was before.
