I used to run a channel called "The Romance Scrooge." I don't make videos at the moment, but I have played with the design for my mascot character. She's got a hipster vibe going currently, heheh

[thisbelongsto-nohbodys]

I tend to draw things (mostly comics) for people I know on their b-day (I grew up poor...) and I thought up a fun one for @theromancescrooge a while back. However because I don’t know when her b-day is (I keep mine secret and as such I don’t ask for others), let’s just assume that it’s today.

I had to make a quick change as I was scanning this, I added the line “Looks like Vanilla & Chocolate” because of....um.....yeah..................don’t look at me....Scrooge wanted the white frosting..................

My Top Ten Favorite Musical Numbers From Cartoons

My buddy, @theromancescrooge, did her top ten favorite original musical numbers from cartoons a while back, and I was hesitant to make my own list. There are just so many good choices I couldn’t narrow it down to just ten. However, as time went on more picks just solidified their position should I make a list. Rules are it has to be from an animated television show, but no anime. Also, one per show. Covers are okay, but no direct lifting of previously existing music. So here it is:

10. “I Got a New Routine” from Milo Murphy’s Law

I love Weird Al. I never got into Phineas and Ferb because reasons. So you give a platform like that to Weird Al and let the gems come naturally. 

9. “Sweet Shop” from Littlest Pet Shop

This cute little diddy is very reminiscent of songs from the 1950s. I like this kinda sound and it plays like a very pleasant commercial. The show is done by the same crew as MLP:FiM, so you can see the talent in animation and casting.

8. “My Shiny Teeth and Me” from The Fairly Oddparents

I like this song. It sounds nice. Hey, shut up. Everyone shut up. Stop laughing at me. Just go to the next one. The next one. But seriously the keyboard is a nice touch and Chris Kirkpatrick’s vocals are smooth.

7. “The Campfire Song Song” from Spongebob Squarepants

Damn, is this song a bunch of fun. Patrick trying his best, but failing makes me laugh everytime. Some would argue that it’s too short but shut up.

6. “The Wizard” from The Looney Tunes Show

I really wanted to put “We are in Love” but after listening to both songs back-to-back, I just like this one better. Much better. A fantasy metal track as Daffy pretends to be an all powerful wizard and the lyrics blur the lines between what he thinks he’s doing and what is actually happening.

5. “Music Revolution” From loliRock

I know I said in my thoughts on loliRock that the songs sound a little too overproduced and I still think that. That being said, I think this song is pretty cool. It’s energetic and has that right amount of vocal harmony that I love in my music and, dare I say it, a little sexy.

4. “This Day Aria” from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

This song is an epic piece. This is some Disney quality stuff. The back and forth between Cadence and the imposter is great. The harmony is amazing.

3. “Hello Nurse!” from Animaniacs

Animaniacs has A LOT of great songs, but this one I have to stop and sing every time. This is the song a guy sings when he’s asked to describe the perfect woman. 

2. “The Ballad of Star Butterfly” from Star vs the Forces of Evil

I love Fall Out Boy. Having Patrick Stump sing Star’s Princess Song was brilliant. It’s a four part rock opera going from a traditional princess song and ending with a big reveal of love. Starco is OTP, baby. Even if Starco isn’t your thing, this is great song.

1. “Here Comes a Thought” from Steven Universe

This song will always be my number one. The first time I heard this song, I cried. I cried because I knew I needed to hear this a long time ago. If I would have heard this beautifully written and performed song when I was a kid, it would have saved me from years of self-loathing.

That’s all I got and thanks for reading.

Can Marco be Star’s New Mentor?

This theory is kinda sorta inspired by @theromancescrooge‘s reaction stream to Running with scissors. Watch it here.

So a ton of people are wondering what Running with Scissor’s means for Marco Diaz. On one hand, this episode could just be some minor character/ plot progression; Marco Diaz now knows how to use a sword is somewhat more mature, and Hekapoo is further elaborated upon. On the other hand, Marco is freakin 30 years old now, and that’s not something you can do to a character without it affecting him in some way.

So I wonder, what if Marco takes on Glossaryck’s place as Star’s Mentor? I mean this in the most affectionate way possible, but Star’s not very bright. She’s easily distracted and easily bored. Combine that with her lack of familiarity with Earth and her disinterest in becoming queen, and you have a character somewhere between Finn the Human and the MCU’s interpretation of Thor. In short, she has a lot to learn.

For part of season one and most of season two, Glossaryck played the Dumbledore to Star’s Harry Potter, but the plot has it so that there’s a bit friction between both of them. The episode By the Book introduces this rift as a plot point, and it seemingly reaches its peak in Raid the Cave, where Glossaryck seemingly betrays Star.

Two episodes later, and her Best Friend magically grew to a point where he probably knows even more about the magical world than Star does. This occurs at roughly the same point in Star’s life where the plot is pushing her towards actively learning about magic, royalty, and her status as the next in line to become queen, and while it is true that Star herself is the one taking the initiative to learn more, she can’t pull facts about the history of magic and Mewni out of thin air. Isn’t it lucky that Marco now knows about this.

From a story perspective, this makes for a nice subtle change in the status quo without straying to far from these two character’s character dynamic. Star ‘s still a warrior princess in training, and Marco’s still a lovable dork with a bit more common sense. Not to mention, their status as best friends makes for a very interesting mentor-student relationship that strangely equals out.

Star has more active knowledge on magic and fighting than Marco does, but Marco likely knows far more about details and technique than Star. And unlike Glossaryck, Marco and Star are far less likely to have any form of miscommunication. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Star’s learning speeds up in the next few episodes, now that Glossaryck is out of the picture.

Stories rarely ever put the mentor and the student on the same level, much less makes them best friends. Robin needs Batman to be the older and wiser superhero, and Luke’s character dynamic with Obi-wan would be very different if Obi-wan was just as young as Luke was. But Star vs has the potential to break new ground with this. A mentor who has just as much to learn as the student, with a relationship where a power dynamic is non existent.

Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, and send it to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable). SPREAD POSITIVITY!

I’m terrible at a ton of things, but being terrible at something means you already know more about it than someone who’s never tried it at all.

I’m technically an ambivert. I lean towards extrorevtism but I do need time to myself. I’ve worked this to my advantage on more than a few occasions.

I’m a pacifist. 

I’m creatively minded in quite a few subjects, including art, music, and writing. 

I tend to be a friendly person.
