so there's a reason my new job got back to me so quickly about my application and that's bc it's an absolute fucking shambles like actually perfect timing for me to decide to rewatch the bear bc i have never more felt like ive been thrown into a broke on-its-knees establishment trying to crawl its way up the ladder where i am somehow a godsend to them. my old job was crazy and shambolic in the sense that the industry is just Like That but this one?????? insanity. every 5 mins i am questioning what im doing with my life. ive already had a walk-in fridge moment

It's been rolling around in my brain the last few days for some reason, but I still hate the family backstory reveals for Sophie and Eliot. I've seen some of the meta for it, but quite frankly, it still makes no sense. If it had been something actually thought of and intentional in the original, I think it could have been so fascinating. I mean, Sophie's willing abandonment of Astrid to contrast with Nate's loss of Sam or Eliot's adoption in contrast with Hardison's and Parker's? Could have been excellent! But they came out of nowhere in Redemption and don't work with these characters.

Sophie was still actively using the fucking alias that she met Astrid under! She met with someone from her past on the show! Like. Quite frankly, that one is unequivocally bullshit that they made up and threw in and pretended could fit with the established canon. (And I'm sorry, but the idea of Sophie abandoning Astrid and never telling Nate about her just... So much of Nate's trauma was rooted in the loss of Sam, and I think that introducing this element after he's gone and unable to respond to it taints Sophie and Nate's relationship in a way bc I'm not exactly sure how Nate would've responded to learning about this but I think that it's something he'd have needed to know. I don't know how to fully express my thoughts on that but yeah.)

As for Eliot, I don't like the adoption aspect literally at all. The way that he would interact with his family and the memory of his family would be different, and I think that it's flat out ridiculous to think that he'd have never mentioned it to the team in the original show, especially when dealing with the kid cases. (I also dislike the biracial adoption as its own element because if Eliot was actually raised by Black parents in the... idk what 80s/90s? That just. doesn't feel congruent with how they write Eliot interacting with PoC, not necessarily in a bad way, but babe, he's written like a white southern man raised in a specific kind of culture that does not jell with that. It also makes Eliot look... really bad that he was apparently raised with the knowledge of how fucked up the military was and his parents' history and made the choices that he did.) Like the show may not have explicitly stated it but the implication of that relationship was vastly fucking different throughout the original show.

Just. These were not backstories that were congruent with their depiction and characters in the original show, and they're also just moves that I don't particularly like or find interesting directions for those characters. There's also something to be said about how it was apparently unacceptable for a woman to not have kids or someone not reconciling with their biological family when that was something that the original show handled a lot better. Out of all the directions to take Sophie and Eliot's stories, that's just not really one that I think was a good idea.

i might sound like a conspiracy theorist but im reading up on the animation studio review spreadsheet for bento box studios (the one currently animating the hazbin hotel show) and alot of these are like. from only a couple months ago. and theyre ALL negative, talking about abusive management, harsh deadlines and poor treatment of fresh animators. and with the new hazbin hotel trailer out i wonder if the poor quality of the trailer might be because of the crew being overworked / dealing with poor management. there's some interesting remarks about higher-ups and abusive producers. chewing on this.

dust should have one of those mini zen gardens with all the sand and the little rake you use to make patterns but instead of sand its monster dust. specifically dust of people he doesnt like. how calming and tranquil this is as he puts a mini bridge and rocks and tiny tree into the garden filled with what's basically the human equivalent of blood!

Digitalised + coloured + redesigned version of my Suiren and Vaatu sketch from two days ago, as promised!!

Coming up with Suiren’s design was a very long process of trying and failing because after you’ve drawn 9+ different versions of one character, the creativity starts to run a little dry, but I’m actually really proud of this one, she looks absolutely adorable <3

(Also yeah I did mostly just scribble Vaatu’s pattern because who has the energy to draw the all out accurately. Not me, that’s who, I’m chronically tired. People who draw him on the regular have my utmost respect. He’s still a funky little guy though :D)

Bonus, Raava incessantly screaming inside Suiren (and being completely ignored because Suiren is tired of her) while all this is happening:

If wukong told (lied) to macaque that he never cared about him, do you think that would make macaque even more aggresive or like shut down/be the final straw that finally makes macaque let go of wukong

so, just like my answer for whether macky would willingly erase swk from his life, I think this answer also depends on when in the show swk told macky this, and what better way to explain this than by going through each outcome per season :)

UNO

looking at s1, we meet a Macaroni who is very hellbent on killing (or at the very least, heavily damaging) SWK because he feels like the guy never truly gave a shit about him (<- my interpretation). thus, it is safe to assume that if Wukong were to laugh off Marnolo's hurt and anger and tell the guy that he never cared, Mac&cheese will only feel that his current assumptions of SWK are correct and that the guy only cares about himself and his image.

would he feel hurt about it? oh absolutely. maybe punch a wall, destroy the "dojo" he allegedly lives in in an outburst of power and anger. maybe scream and cry but be mad at his own tears (begin to wipe them away but is too hash so he scars himself and then can't stop bc he's very self-destructive)

DOS

technically, Wukong is MIA so this would never happen. BUT! have you considered!!! Wukong telling MK that Macdonalds was just some guy from his past, nobody super important, basically a nobody he wronged in his long list of enemies. which MK might possibly parrot back to Macadoo in 2x07

heavens above Marconi would be pissed.

forget trying to be a dick to MK and "teaching" him that his path of emulating Wukong has already made him forget his friends (untrue, but this is what i assume was Macky's interpretation of MK's actions since the guy didn't actively search for his missing friends, who MK thought left him on purpose).

nah, Macky is hunting SWK down. he is out for blood because "did i serious mean so little to you? were our nights under that tree sharing secrets, dreams, peaches fucking nothing to you?" (and idk....maybe after the air clears out, possibly, macky would realize SWK's true reason for being MIA and....help out???? mayhaps???....yeah, yeah, i know only in my dreams T^T)

TRES

ok, so we could technically say this sort of happened in ep1 when Sun Wukong said, "i thought it was someone important," and, "so what, you're her puppet now? i mean, makes sense. you always did have a sidekick kind of vibe."

and that is basically Wukong implying that he viewed his relationship with Macaque as one where he didn't consider Macky to be important to him, or someone he saw as a close friend. however, this is also a tactic Wukong uses against nearly every villain he interacts with, simply to get a rise out of them. so, pin that down as Wukong being observant enough to know which words to use to hurt.

AND Macky's reaction to it is him jumping out of his cool-ass looking jet and body-slamming the monkey king to the floor. so, uh, it is safe to assume that Macky was pissed off at Wukong's comment.

THUS! with that in mind, we can say that in this context, Macackle will be upset enough to fight him; however, if we were to consider the end of s3 (like Samadhi Fire ritual to the end) i would go with the option of Mackarell shutting down and feeling like that comment is the nail in the coffin for their relationship.

CUATRO

in s4? absolutely not. he would be dragging Wukong by the ear, demanding that he repeat what he said, ordering Wukong to try and convince himself that their past meant nothing while Macky still lives and breathes. and especially after the s4 special.

you could argue that Macky could shut down in the beginning of s4, but i think he'd probably laugh it off because he knows now that Wukong is lying. he's being his old deflective self and probably doesn't know where to place Macanoli in his head now that they're technically on better terms with LBD done with.

but after all the drama of going through SWK's memories? nuh uh, Wukong can't get out of this, nope. you handed iMac a chocolate peach popsicle. it is too late for you turn back and lie about your feelings. you can dig your grave and lie about it, but he's just gonna hit you right back with your own medicine and make you understand that if y'all truly want to reconcile, you cannot continue lying to yourself that you don't care.

not anymore.

so, anyway, i hope this answers your question, anon! i had a lot of fun running this question around in me braincage :3

I literally think being in the taylor fandom is making me a worse person like I am so not a hater at heart and yet I just get so irritated by the fandom that it makes me feel like the most negative bitter person :/

[sillysadduck]

for those who didnt know my previous accounts, or even those who do, in 2020 I was also SUUUPER harassed for a fnaf fanart where my humanized bonnie and mangle LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.

I'M TELLING YOU, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BACK THEN. NOW I CAN LAUGH BUT BOY DID I SUFFER.

so I may redraw that fanart for the good old times, here's to me being the black sheep of every fandom for no reason😭 lmaooo

[soleminisanction]

Have I ranted before about how the Devil's Square makes no fucking sense?

So I'm trying to write the next part of Batgirl, Repentant, and more fool me, that means I need to go back and re-read parts of Batgirl (2009) for research. And like what always happens when I do that, I noticed yet another detail that stops working when you stop to think about it for even a moment.

Because see, on the second page of the third issue, we get these two moments in rapid succession.

Scarecrow's hideout is in "Gotham's Western Quadrant, the Devil's Square," established in the previous issue as a bad neighborhood, quote, "Otherwise known as 'Thunderdome.'" This place is treated like it's a Big Stinkin' Deal for the first two arcs (maybe the first year? I don't remember clearly and I don't want to go any further down this rabbit hole than I have) of this series, but nothing about it makes sense.

We are never ever given a clear reason why this neighborhood is supposedly such a uniquely terrible place, but it's supposedly so bad that it's worth making a whole terrible philosophy lecture out of why criminals would choose to stay there.

But the closest thing we get is that, at one point, Professor Exposition describes it as "a demilitarized zone."

Which does not make any goddamn sense because that would require Gotham City as a whole to be the location of an ongoing military conflict. Y'know, like the one between the Koreas.

I can only assume, given Brian Miller et al's tendency to do zero research on even the most basic of plot elements (see also: labeling all of Stephanie's obviously freshman-level college classes with 400-level designations intended for seniors or grad students) that what he actually meant here was autonomous zone. Like the CHAZ, as imagined by your Republican uncle. The implication being that this is an area of town that's been completely abandoned by police and emergency services, reducing it to a lawless wasteland where criminals roam free. (A no man's land, you might say. 🙄)

EXCEPT. APPARENTLY. LITERALLY ONE ISSUE LATER. We get the panels I started this post off with, where Steph arrives at Scarecrow's hide-out in the Devil's Square and we get EXPLICIT confirmation that the police will be there in five minutes.

That's all to say nothing of the fact that it being "Gotham's Western Quadrant" that's been cut off makes zero sense on its face. Besides implying that's an entire QUARTER of the city that's just been completely abandoned, Steph at one point describes it as being "on the west bank of the Gotham River."

There is no west bank of the Gotham River. Gotham is on a series of islands off the coast of New Jersey. The west bank of the Gotham River is the MAINLAND where Bristol and the suburbs are.

Gotham's geography is super fluid and can change from book to book, but it being on an island connected only by a series of bridges was a big deal in this era and the only reason the No Man's Land concept even worked. If you're gonna rip that plot off, Miller, you gotta use an eastern neighborhood. Or a northern one. Or even a southern tip. Anything but west. That's like saying there's an east side of Chicago.

[au-drayton-shenanigans]

[A vision across space and time appears on the rotomblr dashboard]

It looks like some kind of strange dungeon. It's floating in the sky, but there are bridges to it.

This is in cloak guy's universe. A universe that used to be normal until Beast had first showed up and cloak guy discovered he has powers and a past life he was unaware of until a certain time.

Not previously in contact with other universes, the other nearby universes have since become aware of this one and launch frequent attacks in attempt to take it over. They commonly go to blueberry academy because that's where the portal has a higher success rate. Cloak guy, surprisingly, is the one to save the day. With a secret identity of course. He has not put on his cloak in front of the people in his home universe and has told his friends in other universe to not tell the people in his universe about the cloak. Cloak guy has his reputation as a pest after all. He is fond of any belittlement he gets as it gives him more material to use when taunting other people. Lunatic. Anyways, he would rather the people he goes to school with to not know he's capable of more than lazing around and being annoying.

However, this time, he seems unable to put on the cloak. His casual clothes actually were destroyed during the adventure he recieved his cloak. The cloak itself is capable of simply transforming into what looks like his casual outfit. Are his powers malfunctioning? Maybe they malfunctioned frequently when he was just getting used to having them back. It's a lot of magic to have so suddenly ya know.

Crispin, Lacey, Amarys, Carmine, and Kieran have all been trapped in the dungeon. Briar and Cyrano and all the rest of the students and school staff at blueberry academy are locked up too.

The vision must be showing a time before cloak guy met the Crispin from Bat's universe because right now, he's still got a crush on the Crispin of his own universe. Prepare for rejection, cloak guy. Your universe's Crispin likes Lacey. But be patient. You'll find one who likes you for some reason. Ew.

He technically could call Beast for backup. Does he even know Bat yet at this time? Nope. Wow. This is really early. Even before the goober squad. Though he decides to not call Beast, if Beast even has a nickname by this time. Huh. That would mean this is before the time cloak guy even confessed his love to his own universe's Crispin. Are we going to see that here or maybe another time? Just have to watch and see where this goes.

So he goes on over to the dungeon in his casual clothes. It's the school uniform plus his jacket and cape, but it may as well be his casual clothes.

"Be quiet!" - a big two-headed monster shouts to everyone in the cage. "If you have no more warriors who can answer my riddle, I win! Winning means I get to devour all of you fair and square."

Carmine angrily yells "What do you mean fair and square?! Your riddle was stupid!"

The monster kicks the big cage and it shakes everyone.

"Hmph! I'm trying to be as fair as fair can be! I'm wanting a good clean war. If that isn't all of you, I will wait for everyone!" - the monster says loudly.

"…There's just one more person but he's such an idiot he would get it wrong anyway…" - Kieran said quietly under his breath.

"Are you trying to get us killed faster?! That is not right!" - Lacey screamed at Kieran.

"What was that?" - The monster asked.

"Nothing! There are plenty more people! They'll be coming soon I think! We need more time for them to come try your riddle." - Lacey replied to the monster before turning to Amarys and whispering "..Have you figured out a way to break out yet?"

"..My apologies. By all observation it is impenetrable by mere human strength. If there were a way to distract the monster long enough to send out a pokemon, then maybe we could all make a run for it…"- Amarys whispered back.

The monster looked down at a device on its arm for a single second with one of its heads and said to them "The scanners only detect one more person. Don't lie to me. There aren't many. Just one. I'm going to eat you first for your dishonesty, pinky."

Lacey backed away, now frightened.

Kieran started "..How could we distract it anyway? Well, with how long it would take for Drayton to decide to come here, we have plenty of---"

Kieran stopped talking abruptly because he heard something. Slow footsteps approaching. There's no way that isn't Drayton. Well, cloak guy as we know this one to be called in modern day. He isn't wearing his cloak right now and … it feels weird to see him with such a small amount of scars. That big one across his nose isn't even there. Don't you wonder where and when he gets that? Shoot. We're all doomed. That's clearly what lots of the faces in the crowd are wordlessly saying.

The monster turned one of its heads to cloak guy while keeping the other focused on the cage.

The monster called out "Answer my riddle correctly or you and everyone else will die."

"Yeah sure whatever." - Cloak guy said in a tired voice. He yawns and then stretches. "Lay it on me."

The monster head facing the cage grins and says "This one is unconcerned about all of you. Isn't he? Maybe not even concerned with his own life."

This just made everyone in the cage more tense while cloak guy is just picking his nose waiting to hear the riddle. Cloak guy starts flicking his hand really hard like he dug out a booger and it doesn't want to unstick from his hand.

"What's the wait? Savoring the moment? You have Crispin in that cage. I'm not going to wait anymore." - Cloak guy said, still tiredly but there's just a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"…I know Drayton likes my cooking, but is that the entire reason he's here?.." Crispin said in a quiet yet panicked voice. Who wouldn't be panicked in this situation?

The monster head facing Drayton begins to speak. "Here is the riddle that no one has been able to solve. A taste that was but is no longer. To taste again is horror made stronger. What is the answer?"

Cloak guy answers without hesitation, "The answer is vomit. Nobody got this? Seriously?"

Everyone in the cage looks horrified and disgusted.

"Are you sure you want to go with that answer?" - the monster asked. Apparently it gave everyone the are you sure question. It's not because of cloak guy's unhinged statement. The monster is fair. So the monster claims, anyway.

Everyone in the cage seems to be silently requesting that Drayton use the opportunity to give a more serious answer. Surely this idiot is joking, right? Lacey is even doing that thing where she crosses her arms into the shape of an X. The Lacey sign of disapproval.

Cloak guy speaks with confidence "I'm staying with this answer. It's vomit. A taste that was but is no longer, to taste again is horror made stronger? That's vomit! Vomit! As in barf, puke, and other such words that mean violently reintroducing your recent meal to the word!"

"That is correct. The answer is vomit. I hope we may someday partake in another battle of wits. Rejoice for you have won the lives of everyone here, fearless warrior. If you care about that or any of the prisoners other than that Crispin fellow." - The monster said.

"Oh so nobody guessed it because it sounded way too obvious and just couldn't be the answer? Laaaame." - Cloak guy said. Tired and sassy. Is he really sassy or is he just making things more dramatic for no reason?

Carmine yelled again. "Whoever would have even thought of that as a possible answer is weird and gross!"

The monster starts opening the cage.

"Do I get a thanks for being weird and gross and saving your un-weird and un-gross butts?" - Cloak guy asked in a purely sassy tone.

As everyone started walking back out, the floating dungeon moved gradually to the ground.

"Thanks, Dray." - Crispin said. Crispin doesn't know how he feels about probably being cloak guy's favorite but now that everyone avoided death because of him, why not thank him?

The dungeon lands safely on the ground and disappears along with the monster who waved goodbye and left through a portal. Everyone is here in one spot. Safe from danger. Calm. Peaceful.

Cloak guy starts singing intentionally poorly. (Implying that he can sing really well when he wants to??? Well, he is a bird, but really?)

The crowd quickly scatters at the dreadful sound like a startled herd of deerling. All's well that ends well.

[The vision ends]

[victimized-martyr]

I recently got my brother into south park and he basically told me he ships Kyman?!? he just started tellin me on his own that “Kyle and Cartman really need each other, also the show isn’t the same without them being all weird. They should get together.” I’m such a proud big sis. He even told me Cartman Finds Love is one of his favorites of the show. I’m 😭
