It’s amazing how, when you do sewing, the sewing gets done. Idk, sounds fake to me

Mattel cancelling dolls and discontinuing lines because they aren’t selling well is just so annoying.

They aren’t selling well because they’re fucking ugly.

That’s literally it.

Every single licensed piece of LOTR media after the original Peter Jackson trilogy has been absolute dogshit, and I am rather glad about that—it means that as the years go by, the odds of having to endure a remake are pretty low, and the original cultural place of the books will never quite be displaced. I think it also keeps the churn of Extruded Lord of the Rings Product down—unlike Star Wars, where everybody is hoping to make the next Andor or Rogue One, hopefully nobody has any illusions their LOTR project doesn’t fucking suck. And it’s only 20 years until LOTR enters the public domain, and people can do whatever they want with it.

Also helps that the bar is quite high—not only were the Jackson films pretty darn good, the books are genuinely terrific. Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, and a lot of other stabs at the Next Big IP are fundamentally medium-to-bad in a way that establishes the bar for a “good” entry in the series pretty low. I like the original Star Trek a lot, for instance, but it’s not exactly one of the all time best written and produced TV shows! Whereas the LOTR books are well written enough there’s a noticeable disjunction in quality even just between bits of the movies that quote them or adapt them closely and bits Jackson made up—and that gulf becomes titanic in the hands of writers and directors who are even worse at Tolkien pastiche than 2000s Jackson (like, say, 2010s Jackson).

the first thing that crossed my mind when i saw THAT back

Remember when Mokuba got kidnapped for the like 8th time and he and Anzu were sitting there right before building this escape route and Mokuba goes “If I can get out, I can have Kaiba Corporation crush the Ghouls.” (Episode 72 3:02)

Like Mokuba that’d be great but how about you start with taking preventative measures to stop you getting kidnapped?

We love you and you are resourceful but you also spent 85% of your time in this series being kidnapped. With how rich you are you can afford at least a taser. Seto lets him walk around without bodyguards and yet every time Mokuba gets kidnapped Seto is like:

red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.

alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.

rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.

I’ve finally got a firm grip on the plotting for this so I’ve posted the first three chapters! Fair warning: I’m not sure how frequent updates will be, but I’m gonna try my best! It’s more character study heavy than my usual stuff so I hope you like it!

Update on Megatron’s health: Where the frag is Knockout?

Not to focus on the wrong things of this chapter or anything but watching Aqua struggle to make it in the entertainment industry for 128 chapters just to watch his rating be worse than a lot of random side characters that just appeared in this chapter is so funny help 💀

Denmark is officially on the table for us as a drastic measure/last resort

i have officially finished knock knock boys and it is absolutely no secret that i loved each and every one of those little boba balls. it was a great slice of life show that completely nailed the topics they tackled. so beautifully and gently and wonderfully done.

as a side note for a show rated 18+ it was incredibly wholesome and tame. i’m not even sure why it got the 18+ rating; unless Thai censorship dictates open conversations about sex (even if no actual sex happens) is cause for that level of rating? all in all truly and utterly gorgeous show.

something something MHA catering largely to a Western (sans its Japanese) audience ended up inspiring the most puritanical and authoritarian takes I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

something something the cop and military propaganda flying through many Western fans’ heads.

something something discussions about the societal issues the manga quite literally highlights in the first page and forward are taken with a grain of salt, if that at all.

something something the internet is largely Westernized and whenever someone fits the outlier, they’re either relentlessly ostracized or demonized.

they merge at some point 🤔
