I could watch one of the dozen anime I want to watch

Or

Or I could watch mash for the 7th time since I was 9 and my mom revealed to me that she owned all 11 seasons as a giant box set she got as a baby shower gift when I was born (not including the episodes I saw before that bc it’s my mom’s favourite show and she watches it in full at least once a year)

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.

so I watched carol & the end of the world

Im not someone who watches adult animated comedies outside of classic Simpsons, Futurama, and King of the Hill ( and ill admit there are a handful of South Park episodes that I think are legitimately brilliant)

initially, I was turned off by the animation style but after I saw all the praise I knew this was something special, and it was

its boring, but in an interesting way, its a true slice of life, introspective but also an absurdist black comedy, it reminds me a lot of a Kurt Vonnegut book actually

I like that the adult content in this that would be used as shock humor in other adult comedy shows is just treated causally here Carol`s parents are nudists in a loving thruple relationship with their male nurse and its actually really sweet, many people are running around naked and acting like hedonists because well .... its the end of the world

alot of people didn't get the format but I loved that it felt like a bunch of short films, sometimes multiple in one episode

its about finding small bits of normalcy and happiness in a crazy world, I love stories that just make you want to slow down and think "This is nice" we rarely seem to get those anymore , at least in the world of fast-paced streaming tv

it does take a few epsodes to really understand what its going for and it doesn't always work but I give it a solid 7/10

Since adults are the topic of the hour, I want to know which adult animations are your favourite. I know, not in topic with your blog, but I'm really curious!

Well, to maintain this blog's tradition, in the Magical Girl department, there are only three adult series that I liked:

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (basically, Japan making fun of the US and its gross western animation, with its own unique twist. Was supposed to have a second season, but the folks at Gainax couldn't keep their promise);

Bee & PuppyCat (if you ignore the lack of plot coherence and handle Toast's annoying antics, it should be fine for you to watch, I guess);

Super Drags (this one's brazilian! Yeah, it's rather crude and generic as an adult show, but it has some interesting queer topics to check out!)

Now, for the non-Magical Girl ones:

Inside Job (if you're depressed after seeing Velma's rendition of Fred Jones, Brett Hand will serve as a great palate cleanser for you);

Bojack Horseman (it starts off weird, but it solidifies as the time goes on and it gets quite philosophical, too);

Aggretsuko (yes, the one from Sanrio. Y'know, the kawaii empire behind Hello Kitty? Yeah, that's the one);

Tuca & Bertie (from the folks that have brought you Bojack Horseman);

The fifth and final season of Samurai Jack (the finale sucked, but the video game, Battle Through Time, has acted as damage control);

Harley Quinn (Velma tried to imitate this one, and failed so hard at it);

The earliest seasons of Rick & Morty (Seasons 1-3, imo. There's something about this show that tickles my wanderlust);

(Dis)Enchantment (haven't seen the later seasons just yet, but I loved it so far);

Daria (you'd be surprised at how relatable it has become in modern days. And people used to shame me for being cynical back then);

Futurama (haven't seen the new episodes, though. I'll stick to the classics);

Scoobynatural (ignore the fact that it's a Supernatural crossover. Seeing the Mystery, Inc. Gang have an existential crisis is always a treat);

Rob Zombie's The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (this one's a movie. Described as an "X-Rated Scooby-Doo", and you get to see nazi zombies being exterminated, predating South Park's The Stick of Truth);

Venture Bros. (again, this could act as a great palate cleanser if you've watched Velma);

Bob's Burgers (it's a better Nuclear Family-type of show than The Simpsons and Family Guy. 'Nuff said.);

I also remember watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Home Movies, The Critic and John Callahan's Quads as a teen, and they were quite solid from what I remember.

I haven't seen these ones, but I'm surely interested in Primal, Superjail!, Del Toro's Pinocchio, Solar Opposites, Peepoodo and the SuperFuck Friends and The Boondocks. I also wanna see Mortal Kombat's newest animated movies, they look so amazing!

Despite having S-tier animations, I absolutely hated Devilman Crybaby and Castlevania. Major buzzkill, those shows.

And I'm sure, positive and certain that Sam & Max: Freelance Police could've made a really neat adult show if Steve Purcell and crew weren't stuck dealing with censorship sensitivities (they were held back by Fox Kids censors back then).

[bellmo15-blog]

As I’m sure most of you know by now I was largely a 2000’s kid growing up. I was born in 1996 and as a result saw this era all the way though to it’s end until becoming a teenager at the end of the decade. And as a result, I also grew up alongside the Sam Rami Spider-Man trilogy. This trilogy alongside the PS1 game Spider-Man 2 Enter Electro were pretty much the main way I experienced my Spider-Man media as someone who never read any comic books at all outside that one Simpsons and Futurama crossover comic.

As I’m also sure you all know I also have a thing for the Symbiote Suit, one of the most iconic and best suits for Spider-Man and you can’t convince me otherwise! Unless we are talking about the 2099 suit and Spider-Gwens suit which are also peak. You may also remember I’ve said in the past that Spider-Man 3 was the one Sam Rami Spider-Man movie I never saw as a child but not because it was getting clowned on by everyone, in fact I never even knew about the hate this movie had until 2012 when I was only three years into high school and the first Amazing Spider-Man movie had just come out. I just never did watch it as a child and only saw it in full for the first time during the pandemic. Why did I never see Spider-Man 3 when it came out originally? Good question! …………………… Oh were you expecting an actual answer? Yeah sorry, I don’t got a proper answer. I’m pretty sure it was because I had other interest at the time especially as video games became my preferred media for entertainment over movies. Of course, one of the things that always stood out to me was the Black Symbiote Suit seeing as how it was a living black suit that also looked really dam cool. It was only until I became an adult and got as into the stuff I am now that I truly started to develop a real love for the Symbiote. Yeah, even as someone who only ever saw advertisements for this film back in the day the seeds were still planted back in 2007. So of course, I was going to end up getting a pic involving the Rami Black Suit one of these days and now here it is!

Honestly, even though the movie itself isn’t that great I do feel slightly bad that I never got to see the movie in theatres as it’s the only one in the trilogy I never saw in theatres. Some people give this depiction of the Symbiote Suit crap for being more or less just the regular Rami suit but coloured black when the Symbiote Suit in most depictions has a unique design to Peters normal suit and to be honest, that is a completely fair and valid reason to dislike the Rami Black Suit. But I didn’t care back then! This was the coolest shit to me back as a child and it still is pretty cool to me now as an adult and I'd be lying if I said if Symbiote's were real and I was forced to wear one I'd be fine with the Rami Black Suit. Venom himself in this movie was pretty bad though.

This almost doesn't even have anything to do with the above posts because it's so far out of the scope of laughing at modern day Burning Man, but I'm pretty sure, at one point, Burning Man was a music festival. Or at least something akin to that Simpsons episode where they sail out to international waters and realize they can do anything they want.

This is going to take a minute to set up, but trust me, it goes somewhere.

I bring this up because very, very, very early in internet video, like right before the dawn of Youtube and personal video streaming services like Twitch (so figure 2004-2005), Winamp, at the time the undisputed kings of homegrown internet radio (Shoutcast's original purpose), expanded into Shoutcast Video. It was accessed via a menu called Winamp TV, which was a directory of currently-live channels.

As you might expect, it was only ever really used for piracy. Almost immediately, a bunch of streaming channels cropped up that were basically dedicated to one show 24/7. There was a Simpsons channel. There was a South Park channel. A Seinfeld channel. Even a porn channel. I look at the modern streaming landscape now, where a service like Pluto TV has 24/7 Mystery Science Theater or Baywatch or whatever, and I remember that Winamp TV started that trend nearly 20 years ago because some college kid pirated every episode of Futurama and decided to host a Shoutcast Video server just because he could.

Anyway, literally one of the only non-piracy channels was... I don't even remember what it was called. But it was some sort of counter-culture programming that I found fascinating and a little disturbing. Very much "what am I even WATCHING" kind of content.

It was this guy, maybe mid-20's, early 30's, and he was what he referred to as a "wog." And he used it in a way that seems to have no mainstream definition, because by his account, a "wog" was a modern day ronin of sorts. Or to cut to the heart of my interpretation, he was an anti-capitalist prepper of sorts. He only bought clothing and gear from the military supply store and made sure to strip all corporate logos and branding off of everything.

He always had a knife and possibly even a gun on him at all times, but he also maintained what could best be described as a utility belt full of all sorts of stuff, and to some degree, he lived his life sort of as a ghost. Deliberately out of public view, deliberately as far off the grid as he could get, but at the same time, he said he would go out of his way to help anyone that needed aid. That was his purpose in life.

He never mentioned any family. No kids, no wife, no girlfriend.

He was a very strange individual. A little unnerving to realize this type of person existed out there. But he did not seem to be hurting anyone.

And he shot a handful of videos on his lifestyle, his mantras, his every day carry gear list, so on and so forth. And he threw all of this up on to a Winamp TV streaming channel. But the bulk of what was on that channel was a multi-part video series where he documented visiting Burning Man. And, at least to me, this was before the modern glitz and glamour of current Burning Man. It's been running since 1986, so these videos were produced a good 18 years after its induction, but from my perspective it felt like the early days of the event before all the money took over and was just a bunch of burnt out hippies smoking salvia and listening to music or whatever.

Watching this strange tacticool hermit enter 2004 Burning Man and talk to dudes who smoked so much meth all their teeth fell out was kind of haunting, but like watching a car accident, I could not look away.

I only bring this up because I have no idea what happened to this guy. That Winamp TV station is the only record I've ever found of his existence, which, going by his intended life style, is honestly probably what he wanted. I keep wishing I could find it again, if only to gawk at how eerie it all felt.

burning man 2023 explained

burning man is a festival for rich white people who want to smoke weed and trip acid in the nevada desert and pretend they're one with the earth. it's not a music festival or anything that serves any purpose, it's just vibes

a hundred year flash flood just hit nevada, including where burning man is being held this very weekend

dry desert ground can't suddenly absorb water, let alone that much water all at once, so now burning man is a giant mud pit with THICK deep mud

nobody can get in or out, so they closed all the roads

FEMA just told the *73,000 PEOPLE* stranded at burning man to shelter in place, ration food and water, and essentially "you're on your own, good luck"

the port-o-potties are overflowing into the mud they're all walking around in

the official CDC twitter account tweeted (and then deleted) that there's a confirmed ebola outbreak at burning man, but people are pretty sure it's just trench illnesses. like actual WWI trench illnesses

earlier this week, climate activists protested against burning man, and all the attendees drove right past them (and yelled at them, and tried to get them arrested, etc)

there's a private jet at burning man where people can join the mile high club. it just takes off and lands all day and lets people fuck in it. no word yet on the fuck plane's current status/location

and lastly: when the ground here gets wet, the sea monkeys hatch

I think i might've mentioned this a while back but with reblogging how homeless people are often represented in modern animation, I also remembered how early adult animated series like Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and even S*uth P*rk to a degree understood some basic leftist working class politics, but when it came to actually discussing what affected marginalized groups, they pretty much utterly failed. Occasionally they would make one smart episode or two about a character who was non-white or gay but after that, they would be pretty much put them to the side. Not helping is that pretty much all of the writers were white. And a lot of this vague working class talk was due to creators themselves being upset about the era & to pretty much piss off any right wing institutions like Fox but their franchises going on for many more seasons & bring in the money, they were pretty much happy to abandon any remaining relationship to the average working class viewer, and would pretty much become purposely aggressive & "ironically" any -phobic & -cist you can think of to anyone else, and pretty much using the cast to complain about what they hate about modern progress that slightly inconveniences them

Matt Groening Research

Matt Groening is the artist/ animator responsible for The Simpsons, Futurama, and more recently Disenchantment. Simpsons being the oldest, then Futurama and now Disenchantment. Out of the three my personal favourite is the Simpsons. I really like the simplistic character designs, they had just the right amount of detail. Something else I like that might be surprising is the slightly janky animation on older episodes. I wouldn’t want to watch it all the time since it would defeat the whole reason of why I appreciate it. Animated shows in the modern day are all so polished and perfect. It can be rather refreshing to watch an episode of the same show but have it has a slightly less polished look to it. This is why I’m so fond of the old 1930’s/1940’s Betty Boop and Mickey Mouse animations.

I have only ever watched Futurama a couple of times. In all honesty I don’t think its anything special. To me it just feels like Simpsons in space without the iconic yellow skin of all the characters. I can see how maybe a few years ago when the show was in its prime people genuinely enjoyed it. However this is because that was the best animation had to offer. This is before the days of Rick and Morty, Adventure time and many other beloved shows. If you’re below the age of 20 and your favourite show is Futurama you have no excuse when other amazing animated series exist.

Personally I’m not a huge fan of Matt Gronenings Animation style or character design. I find it boring and bland, it doesn’t have the humour of more modern TV shows. Also it doesn’t have the likeable funny slapstick humour like many other animations such as Loony Tunes or even Tom and Jerry. Its just very medico in my eyes which is often a worse place to sit than a terrible show, because quite often a really bad show is often so bad it becomes enjoyable. I would much rather watch more modern shows like Rick and Morty or even really old 1930’s animations, you may think this is hypocritical of me to say I love literally some of the oldest animations out there. However I think it’s important people have a mild respect for some of these ancient classics. These are the very first animations that gave birth to the genre of animation.

And that's BEFORE we get to the shelves full of books and boxes of comics.

And THEN there's the movie part of the video collection, which I won't even go into here.

It's safe to say that when it comes to outlasting the strike, I am good.

favourite movie(s): uuuhhh i don't really have one right now!

favourite series: the simpsons i guess? at least i can quote it nonstop so

last song: does the tune i dreamt of count? apparently the last song i listened to was a night tempo song - i've started listening to future funk when i exercise, but i don't listen to it regularly (but it's very good)

last series:  i'm always watching simpsons and futurama on repeat. i guess for a clearer answer, it was jojo's bizarre adventure

last movie:  black panther 2, i think

Blog rulez for Your Fav Is Black!

Here's an updated list of guidelines for the blog

What is 'Your Fav Is Black? - This is a blog in the same vein as other 'your fav is' blogs. Specifically, I made this blog to celebrate Black and Black coded characters in media.

2. Who runs the blog?- I do. There's no group of mods here, it's just me. I don't have a specific name I want to be referred as; but some basics about me are that I'm Black American (monoracial), 28 years old and my pronouns are they/them.

3. What is the flag/What does it stand for?-

4. Can I follow/make a request?- Ive got the usual DNI.

No Fasc/Right Wing/Centrists. No TERFS/SWERFS. No transmeds. No fatphobes/ableists. No Gore/Yanderecore/ED blogs. No pro-shippers/anti-antis.

Also Im sorry, but this is a general audience blog and a lot of minors interact and send in requests. So, NSFW blogs do not interact (that includes likes and reblogs).

Everybody else is welcome to follow this blog so long as you're respectful to me, the content on here and those that interact with it.

Requests are for Black people only. Non blacks liking/reblogging posts is fine though.

5. How do I request something?- Just send in a message to the ask box. Make sure you check the text in the bio first to see if i marked the inbox as 'open' before you send one in.

I ask that you all only use the ask box for requests as sending me PMs through Tumblr messages makes it difficult for me to keep track of them. Submissions are also okay if you decided to take it upon yourself to make your own flag (again for Black people only).

6. Can I make multiple requests?- Yes, although since it's just me making these posts; I ask that everybody make no more than 4 requests at a time so I don't get overwhelmed.

7. What characters can I request?- Any character from any form of media except those from the Do Not Request list as the media on this list either contain extremely questionable/problematic portrayals of minorities or their creators are weirdos/racist pieces of sh*t.

🚫DO NOT REQUEST🚫

Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss/Anything made by Vivziepop

Homestuck

Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin

FNAF Series

Huniepop

Camp Camp

American Horror Story

South Park/Family Guy/Big Mouth (basically any adult animated comedy that has that brand of humor)

The Simpsons/Futurama

IRL celebrities/youtubers

Media with sexually explicit content (ex. Ecchi anime)

That's all I have for now, but if you have questions on whether a piece of media that's not listed is okay; feel free to ask me.

8. How does a character qualify as Black?-

Well the most obvious answer is that the character will have physical features denoting blackness (brown skin, kinky/curly hair, etc.). Other things that can denote Blackness are speech, mannerisms, displays of Black culture and the like.

Sometimes acknowledgment of a character's race will be outright said in the media or be confirmed by the media's creator.

Racial coding is also an aspect that is used to determine whether or not a character is Black. As with Skeeter Valentine from the Doug cartoon series who is considered to be Black despite him having an unnatural skin color (blue instead of brown), his mannerisms and demeanor lead many Black fans of the show to consider him to be Black coded. A couple of non-human examples of this are Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z and Darwin Watterson from The Amazing World of Gumball.

Darwin is an anthropomorphic orange fish, so one would wonder how he could be considered Black. Well for starters, Darwin's VA [voice actor(s)] has always been a black boy. And Darwin's mannerisms and cadence within the show has always mirrored that of a Black child.

In the case of Piccolo though, he's a humanoid alien from the Planet Namek. Though he doesn't have much in the physical sense that would be reminiscent of Black features (In addition to his VA being a white man) Black fans of Dragon Ball Z feel a connection to him and believe that his character reflects that of a Black man.

9. Well what if I personally don't believe a character is Black?-

Unless you yourself are Black, you have no authority to speak on the credibility of anybody's race/Blackness. I've had my fair share of smart ass comments of people going 'he's not Black he's green! she's not Black, she's orange!'; and I'm not entertaining them with responses anymore. I don't find these types of comments helpful or amusing and if you leave one here, you will be immediately blocked.

With that being said, enjoy the blog; and Happy Black History Month ✌🏾✌🏿
