CONTAINS SPOILERS

Just finished my second playthrough and I have to say: I hate Dutch more than Micah. Don’t get me wrong Micah is scum, but Dutch knew (mostly) everybody in the gang for over a year. Sometimes over a DECADE- and he still turns his back on them. All the kids he and Hosea raised, didn’t matter, the ‘last’ score mattered. The last robbery mattered. Not the orphans or runaways he raised, taught and loved.

Micah is a superficial type. You know he’s evil. When you first meet him, you know he’s bad. But I liked Dutch in definitely the first 3 chapters, I was still liking him in 4. Guarma was iffy. Beaver Hollow is where it all goes downhill. I noticed the decline since chapter 3, but I feel it really steepened in 4 and 6 (Guarma didn’t happen). But back to Micah- you know he’s evil. The way he talks, the way he acts, his beliefs, you just KNOW that this guy isn’t who you’d want to come to your rescue (RIP SADIE). Micah did what he had to do to survive. He never had loyalty in mind, he has his own being in mind.

The Van Der Linde’s whole gang/family was so BASED on loyalty that people killed and died for the gang. Miss Grimshaw mentions killing another traitor. Molly (mistakenly assumed as a traitor) is killed because that’s how strongly they value loyalty. Loyalty (mostly to Dutch) was how the whole gang was founded.

Hosea had the same loyalty, but he actually cared about the people. I think Dutch only cared about the image. Hosea said that he cared for the people that died following Blackwater- that they mattered to him. He wanted closure. Dutch used their deaths as ammunition for his speeches. As a reason for the gang to keep on going. The only thing that set him apart from the O’Driscolls was the fact he cultivated the image that they were a family and that he might have cared. The O’Driscolls didn’t have the same loyalty to their members. When Kieran was captured they didn’t try to get him back. He said he was as good as dead if he wasn’t with the Van Der Linde’s. Dutch took Kieran in to set himself apart. The loyalty. The image.

Hosea kept Dutch in check. After Hosea died, Dutch couldn’t be kept in check. He didn’t have someone he valued highly who truly cared anymore. Micah took over Hosea’s place as the highly valued peer. Micah’s influence was never for the good of the gang- and that wasn’t a secret. Micah’s influence was for his own gain. But what I can’t get over is once Micah had that influence, Dutch didn’t care about anyone anymore. Especially towards the end. He used Eagle Flies, he left Arthur, left John (TWICE), didn’t care about the women, didn’t care about little Jack. Dutch cared about Tahiti. One last score. Reallllly messing with the Pinkertons. Getting the gang to safety wasn’t a priority. As I mentioned earlier- loyalty to Dutch was how the whole gang was founded- Dutch says something about John and Abigail and that women are poison. At the end, John was more concerned with Abigail and Jack rather than Dutch. He didn’t like that. Dutch didn’t like that John was more loyal to his FAMILY than him. He didn’t like that Arthur was more loyal to John than him. Micah, Bill and Javier didn’t have family available to have that stronger loyalty to. They had Dutch and only Dutch. I’m sure that Dutch also had beef with Hosea and Bessie; especially when they left.

But Dutch turned his back on John and Arthur- his sons. He raised them. When Susan was shot, he didn’t bat an eye. He loved her at some point. All these people he’s known for 20 ish years. Or the newer ones, that again, he either raised or feigned affection. And nothing. Turned his back.

FUCK DUTCH YOU BASTARD I HOPE HELL IS AS NICE AS TAHITI

[verdemoun]

Wait even Micah makes an exception to call Bessie 👀 can we hear about them and their relationship?

I always kinda imagined Micah would have a hard time with timewarping, he very much was a man shaped by his father and by the era, his sole goal was to survive, and by proxy whatever enabled that. I imagine he'd have had a hard time readjusting not only to the drastic changes, but also not having to constantly think about his next move yk

Yeah no Micah had a bad time timewarping.

Firstly, he died! He died and there was no consequences. Died and popped up in modern era. What is survival worth if death is seemingly not finite?

Second, he wasn't allowed a gun! This is magical modern au America with something resembling gun control. Whatever meager test he had to do to get a gun, he failed it. While Micah's infatuation with guns was very much linked to his overwhelming belief in survival, he also liked the power of a gun.

Third, Micah was weird with Dutch. He followed Dutch. He reunited with Dutch after Dutch walked away from him in Beaver Hollow. Why? Because he desperately wants something resembling family, and Dutch was part of whatever that meant to Micah. And his father was a piece of shit sure but Dutch shot him? Dutch took away everything Micah believed in only to indirectly warp him to a world where everything was ugly and foreign and he had nothing. And Dutch wasn't turning up for a while.

Fourth, the gang didn't immediately decide to trust Micah again. Can you imagine the anger the 1899 gang felt towards Micah? They didn't want anything to do with Micah! They were more than happy to let him walk into the woods unarmed and let him become a hermit, or die again of natural causes. Micah was the first 'bad guy' to timewarp and they hadn't really considered how they were going to deal with that. Micah was a traitor. What had the gang always done to traitors?

Bessie was not immune to the general anger the gang felt towards Micah but she was a self-made woman from the 1880s. She had to learn all about how the world had changed sociologically on her own. She had to unpack so many of her own issues. She wasn't going to let anyone go through that on their own.

She also had the bonus of being a historian. While a womens' history professor, she'd used to access at the university to research the gang in an attempt to figure out timewarp. She's read all their rap sheets. She knows Micah was only a boy when he committed his first murder alongside his father. She's read the few historians who are interested in the psychology of the Old West wonder if Micah Bell III, notorious outlaw, ever had a choice - if he ever knew life could be more than survival.

And she's just soft. She's a tough bitch who can fend for herself but give her a troubled outlaw who's that bit helpless and confused and she can handle the misdirected anger. So she helped him get his shitty trailer home, and sat at the table while he looked around the shipping-container sized building squinting suspiciously at the concept a permanent structure that was meant to be his private camp now.

It was almost like going through a foster kid cliche but with an adult man helping Micah adjust. He learned to drive faster than anyone else in the gang because sitting in 'camp' constantly was counter-productive to survival, and got a map so he could learn the layout of the area. Not having a gun meant he always needed escape routes. He kicked the windows out of his trailer.

Bessie would never say it because Hosea would kill her, but Micah without a gun really reminded her of teen Arthur. Just angry and scared and assuming everyone was out to get him. And Bessie is soft but she is no pushover. Micah make a comment like he used to with Grimshaw? She'll slap him. That doesn't mean she won't drop off leftovers and sit and try to make small-talk.

And Micah still has issues. He craves connection. Being completely isolated is counter-productive to survival. Bessie sets boundaries but she's for the most part more patient than he deserves and does what she can to teach him about modern era survival.

She helps him get a job so he can buy his dumb truck and takes him grocery shopping, teaches him about tracking money because Micah gave most of his money to the gang too in VDL days. He's not used to paying for things because he's always stolen what he needs. She buys him clothes and has to turn up to wash them because he is useless but little acts of kindness actually mean a hell of a lot to Micah.

He's still a brash pig at best most days but she notices the 'come near her and i'll fucking kill you' glares he gives people on the street because he's that little bit protective of his perceived family. And how awkward he sounds the first time he calls to ask about what the hell his frozen meal means when it says fan-forced oven.

Micah's sole goal, purpose, reason for being is still survival, because really what else is there? He still doesn't have anything to live for more than living for living's sake. Not pissing off Bessie supports survival. And maybe the little 'good work!' comments and praise when he does the bare minimum like actually putting clothes in a laundry basket completely alter his brain chemistry because he's never received praise for something that wasn't directly linked to criminal or gang activity.

So yes Micah makes an effort to talk to Bessie and sometimes when he's feeling more lonely and isolated than usual he knows Bessie will always answer.

hello hi hm do you mayhaps have any howard the duck fun facts that movie Fasinated me

you have activated my autism from over a year ago so Brace Yourself because this is straight up going to be a history lesson in. duck comic/movie

i think I'm just going to tell you the full history of Howard as a character. yeah sorry.

so Howard was created kind of as a joke in 1974 in a marvel comic series called Adventure into fear written by Steve Gerber. he didn't intend on using this smoking, swearing, slightly off donald duck parody of a character very much and just killed him off like an issue after introducting him but people really didn't like that. like REALLY didn't like that. they sent in dead ducks to marvel through mail as protest I'm Not even joking!

so Gerber brought Howard back in the Giant-sized Man-thing series. this is where the lore of him falling to earth from space and landing in Cleveland started. he was sort of having these solo adventures where he fought first a frog man and then a vampire cow (Bessie the hellcow my beloved!!! i love her!!) and also went to jail that was a whole thing. but basically the whole experience left him miserable and suicidal. cut to his solo comic run starting in 1976. Howard the duck comics officially start and it's with Howard contemplating suicide and he gets really close to comitting before he meets Beverly and they go through this little adventure together to escape a financial wizard and fucking Spider-man shows up?? it's a whole thing, Howard ends up moving in with Bev instead of killing himself by the end

I'm not going to explain the whole original Howard comic run I'll just say it's a wild ride that includes Howard running for president (he received actual real life write in votes!!) then having a mental breakdown after fighting a canadian beaver man and bonding with some random neurodivergent girl he met on a bus after fighting with his nemesis the kidney lady again, Beverly being forced to marry a man who calls himself doctor bong and wears a bell on his head then divorcing him after cloning him and threatening to sue for child neglect (Gerber admitted that the drug reference was fully unintentional which is really funny to me), Howard punching a homophobe in the face and etc this is barely scratching the surface.

there's also issue #16 which is infamous for being right before a very big story arc and not having anything to do with the plot because Gerber missed his deadline again and he decided to just. write an essay on deadlines instead. yeah so basically he was too neurodivergent for this and I'm not just saying that he legitimately was neurodivergent he got fired from marvel for missing too many deadlines eventually.

that is when things got.. interesting with Howard. the original run wasn't finished at all yet so they kind of had to get other people to finish it but it didn't really work anymore and then they even made a black and white htd magazine which wasn't very popular but my personal hot take is that I'm a big fan of it actually.

there's also the lawsuit where Disney caught up that this guy looks dangerously similar to donald duck so their solutions was to just.. force Howard to wear pants. well that's an oversimplification they made more rules for how he has to look but the pants thing is objectively the funniest. also this happened back when Gerber was writing Howard he just refused to comfort to these rules so instead they got implemented during the magazine in a pretty iconic storyline imo. anyways the point is there's a lot of insanity around this.

and then the movie. i already mentioned that George Lucas was a big fan of the original comics and wanted to adapt it to a movie but instead of doing it himself he asked his friends Willard Hyuck and Gloria Katz to direct it and while he produced it. except as i also already mentioned said friends knew nothing about the comics and i.. don't think they ever really read them?

there were also a lot of things they wanted to do but couldn't like they originally wanted it to be animated but didn't have the budget, they originally got Robin Williams to voice Howard but he gave up because he found the role too limiting (and I'm honestly glad for that because i wouldn't have ever gotten into htd if it wasn't for Chip Howard) and the fact that they were pretty limited by the studio they were working with into some plot beats. it was kind of just a disaster all around with a lot of creative differences and technical limitations all over the place.

also as i said Robin Williams was supposed to voice Howard originally and they had to replace him really last minute and didn't really know what to do until one of the producers decided to watch a musical called Merrily we roll along starring Chip Zien and asked him if he's interested in being in this movie, telling him he sounds like a duck. which is probably not exactly what you want to hear after performing in a musical but he took the role anyways.

and btw despite everything regarding the production, everyone involved really expected this to be a hit and then it just.. wasn't. like at all. like it's one of the most notorious flop movies today for all the wrong reasons. like there's a lot of valid criticisms one could make about the plot and stuff but I think people just choose to focus on the interspecies part a lot which is upsetting to me. but yeah most of the actors went on to just straight up deny they were in this movie. not Chip and Lea though, they own it proudly which makes me happy

i could also rant a lot more about later Howard adaptations because there's even more insane lore there but i think this is already long enough for now, I'll maybe get back to that later

PAL-077 Kris Gruda LP

"Plays For You"

It's tempting to view guitarist Kris Gruda, a North Carolina resident, as part of a lineage of demented Southern avant-pickers stretching back to Chadbourne, and while that's not false, it's unnecessarily reductive. Gruda is but one particle in a contemporary wave of traveling minstrels plying the

interstates and unnumbered highways of the Deep South, navigating between pickup gigs in urban centers from Asheville to Baton Rouge to Jacksonville to Amarillo, dipping into the free jazz songbook and a bottomless bag of capital-I-improv tropes to play for audiences of 0-50 intrepid listeners (most of them musicians themselves). Against all odds (and despite dismissal by a sea of jaded music "connoisseurs'' who would prefer to devour overpriced reissues than to attend actual performances), these musicians develop an evolving sonic language, unencumbered by dreams of success; nurtured by the promise of social connection, gas money, and the next bag of Beaver Nuggets.

Whether or not Gruda is one of these compulsive road-trippers is beside the point, because (as amply evidenced by his instagram account, @Grudakris) Gruda clearly spends a lot of his time in his car. Kris Gruda Plays for You was recorded entirely behind the wheel under lockdown in 2020-2021, mostly during shift breaks at the kombucha factory. Each track is a separate Instagram post, downloaded and spliced together into two unbanded sides (a la Beefheart's Strictly Personal), and as such, represents an audio verite tour of a musical vision that, amoeba-like, engulfs two worlds separated by a windshield -- the spinning car wash brushes, the passing cop cars, the preacher on the radio.

The cover (Gruda in a hairnet, oozing Waylon's outlaw bit and clutching a stickered acoustic) supplies a little bit of the IG multimedia appeal missing from the audio, but the sound ("without which none of this is possible," states Gruda) supplies an expansive narrative by itself. Each track, from the "Vote him Out" rap to the dual tracks of "Vehicular Sound Collage," is a gem of creative outreach, a stab not only against the claustrophobia behind the steering wheel, but also a rebellion against the forced isolation of the lockdown itself. The politics of Plays For You are Guthrie-direct, speak to individual action, and seek to inspire us to reach beyond our silos and attempt to reconstruct a virtual solidarity we could once access via a physical commons. But I suspect what will resonate most with listeners are the plaintive cries voiced by a canny (and virtuosically played) selection of classics by Coltrane, Kirk, Coleman, and Cherry, tiny scraps that remind us of a once-encompassing musical spirituality that spurred a half-dozen would-be revolutions (and which may someday do so again). Ultimately, the enthusiasm (and massive doses of sheer weirdness) Gruda exudes in Kris Gruda Plays for You lights up a big, friendly highway into the heart of a deeply idiosyncratic and charismatic vision that's a gas to listen to even stripped of its social media spectacle -- so put down your phone and just listen. — Tom Carter

Johnny Mack Brown and Mary Pickford in Coquette (Sam Taylor, 1929)

Cast: Mary Pickford, Johnny Mack Brown, Matt Moore, John St. Polis, William Janney, Henry Kolker, George Irving, Louise Beavers. Screenplay: John Grey, Allen McNeil, Sam Taylor, based on a play by George Abbott and Ann Preston Bridgers. Cinematography: Karl Struss. Art direction: William Cameron Menzies. Film editing: Barbara McLean.

Is Mary Pickford's performance in Coquette the worst ever to win a best actress Oscar? It's certainly a bad performance, full of cute mannerisms and telegraphed emotions, along with a terrible attempt at a Southern accent. At 37, Pickford was about 20 years too old to play the flirtatious young Norma Besant, a fact that becomes especially clear when she sits on the lap of Louise Beavers, who plays her "mammy," the black servant who raised her; Beavers was ten years younger than Pickford. But this was Pickford's first talkie after 20 years in silent films in which she become the movies' first superstar, and unlike some silent stars, she demonstrates a perfectly fine speaking voice. Still, after three more features that did only passable box office, she took the hint and retired. The main problem with Coquette is not Pickford but the creakiness of the vehicle, which had been a stage hit for Helen Hayes. The melodrama, about a flirtatious girl whose carelessness brings about disaster for both the man she loves (Johnny Mack Brown) and her father (John St. Polis) who objects to their love, is stagebound, largely because of the limitations of early sound technology, but also because screenwriter-director Sam Taylor had not made a sound film before. Pickford appears game throughout, and she's certainly a better actor than Brown or St. Polis, not to mention the callow William Janney, who plays Pickford's younger brother. (In one scene Janney wears one of the most eye-offending outfits ever seen on-screen: a plaid sweater tucked into deep-pleated striped pants. My retinas have yet to recover.) There were no official Oscar nominations that year, but Academy records show that Ruth Chatterton in Madame X (Lionel Barrymore), Betty Compson in The Barker (George Fitzmaurice), Jeanne Eagels in The Letter (Jean de Limur), Corinne Griffith in The Divine Lady (Frank Lloyd), and Bessie Love in The Broadway Melody (Harry Beaumont) were also under consideration for the award. I've been unable to see the performances by Chatterton and Compson, but my pick so far would have been Eagels.

Sir Billi (2012)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Unfortunately, Sir Billi will forever live in infamy as Sean Connery’s final role before passing away in 2020. No one could ask for a worse endcap to their filmography. Ugly, incoherent and unfunny, this film is a chore to watch and never even approaches “so bad it’s good” territory.

Outside the small town of Catterness in the Scottish Highlands, wildlife conservation officer (?) McKenzie (Ford Kiernan) is on an obsessive search for Bessie Boo, a beaver who escaped his capture and has since been adopted by a family of rabbits. When the rabbits fall into a river, it’s up to Sir William “Billi” Sedgewick (Sean Connery) and his anthropomorphic goat Gordon (Alan Cumming) to save the day.

This plot is utter nonsense. I scraped together a couple of sentences to make it seem like there’s a straightforward narrative, but it’s nearly impossible to follow what is happening in Sir Billi. I kept thinking that maybe the story was a limp-wristed attempt at bringing some sort of cause native to Scotland to light. I'm still not sure. As far as I can tell, beavers are a protected species over there and are only removed when they pose a threat to agricultural developments. I think this "issue" is the movie's foundation, which doesn't bode well. Bessie Boo and a bunch of other beavers are about to be moved to Norway but she escapes. Now, McKenzie is on the lookout. In fact, he’s been searching for this one beaver for at least a decade. He’s posted signs all over town to let everyone know that beavers are illegal. There’s a giant dam owned by the greedy Baron McToff (Alex Norton) that poses a threat to the animals when they fall in the water, a duck from the Southern part of the United States flying around, Sir Billi's daughter and grandson live in his ancestral home while he’s stuck rooming with a talking goat that pees himself and acts like a dog. It's all disjointed and attempting to follow along causes you to lose your mind.

Sir Billi is one of the ugliest animated movies I’ve ever seen, which makes the fact that it actually played in theaters mind-boggling and infuriating. This picture features a real celebrity in the form of Sean Connery but the visuals are worse than those you'd see from a first-year animation student. Filmmakers Sascha and Tessa Hartmann (whose names must appear fifty times in the credits) call out Connery's involvement over and over, as if being reminded of movies we'd rather be watching would somehow make this one better. They even go so far as to make him a ladies’ man, with the “attractive” Toni Turner (Amy Sacco, whose character’s cleavage is given way too much attention for a children’s movie) salivating all over him at every opportunity. Billi drives an Aston Martin, there are nods to Dr. No and a pre-credit title sequence that looks an awful lot like the ones you’d see during a Bond theme. It makes the images of Billi riding on a skateboard that much more perplexing. 

Sir Billi is the kind of movie you don’t even need to see to review. Take one look at that poster. Do you think you’d enjoy this? Could you even finish it? What if I told you the film ended with a song whose only redeeming quality is its ability to vanish from your memory the second it’s ended? Sir Billi is exactly what the 0-star rating was made for.

Nicktoons Birthdays of April - Part Two by TunesLooney

[verdemoun]

Hi can I just…can I just ask about Molly in the modern au I know she’s a content creator (and we’re married obviously) but also like…who went to get her when she died? How does she interact with the gang initially after being so convinced that everyone was laughing at her? And most importantly to me do her and Sean ever reconcile?

i got you boo

It was Bessie, Grimshaw and Arthur who went to get Molly. Arthur, because she actually liked Arthur and considered him a friend, Bessie, because Bessie was the only one who actually knew how to drive, and Grimshaw, because both she was the only one where Molly was 'disposed of' and the guilt of hearing from Arthur that Molly wasn't actually a rat and she shot her so blindly for Dutch was killing her.

They didn't find her, and therefore assumed she hadn't been timewarped and Grimshaw just sobbed. She felt so awful and honestly survivor's guilt that it wasn't fair she was getting a second chance when Molly was denied one because of her (believing she wasn't timewarped because she was burned, not buried).

In reality, Molly had already been found stumbling around the forest by a lovely couple who ended up taking her in for the first few months of her timewarp adventure mentioned here.

They thought she had escaped some really bizarre twisted cult considering how little she knew about modern era but the gentle support they offered as a result was everything Molly didn't realize she needed. They paid for her to go to counselling where she got to work out a bunch of issues as a result of the gang experience and supported her financially until she was ready to go off on her own. She adores them very much and stayed in contact with them forever and they are very proud in an almost paternal way of how well she's doing given what little they understood about her past.

Sean was the one to figure out she WAS timewarped months later because of how much her social media was blowing up and the fact he was excited to reach out to her immediately made their dynamic so much softer. 'hey it's me deadeye macguire you're here too!! we're here too!! how you been the gang went looking for you we didn't know you were here what's going on!!!!'

It came just in time because Molly was actually starting to think maybe she was crazy and the timewarp didn't happen and everything that happened in canon was a delusion. She has her own life now she isn't going to throw it away to be the forgotten VDL anymore but also seeing the gang and all the 1899 gang are happy to see her?? They've all had time to think about their actions towards her and are sorry??

She thought she was overthinking she's getting apologies for things she didn't even realize were issues. Arthur being so sorry he didn't do more to protect her in Beaver Hollow. Hosea for letting himself get so distracted by the Plan that he didn't see the impact Dutch was having on her self-worth despite being a fellow lover of Dutch van der Linde. Grimshaw pulling her close and the stoic old witch crying because she's so sorry she killed her and also didn't do enough to help her when she knows what it does to someone's mental health to be in a relationship with Dutch and feel yourself being thrown away. Kieran just being happy to see her because he was a decent person to her the whole time!!

Very cathartic and she keeps in contact because 1899 is just a shared trauma at this point but she's also grateful she gets to be her own person and have her own life. She lives in a significantly bigger city and is still upper class and sometimes snobbish but much more empowered woman who knows her rights and what she wants than just class privilege girlie.

Her vibes still irk Sean but they dm regularly just because Sean is also one of the more competent with modern technology esp in early days. It was always Sean having to send her invites to hang outs because none of the more senior members of the gang knew how to.

Molly also hates the British and the day Sean found out he practically welcomed her into his home like a brother in arms. She still finds him annoying but she has more of a tolerance for him the same way he has more of a tolerance for her. She occasionally flexes her wealth to buy him treats from Ireland even though the postage is insane and he knows and appreciates it.

if i had to give myself an Actual furry timeline itd be a slow burn of shit from childhood to 14 years of age when i finally fell down the rabbithole:

disney, looney tunes, all the "classic" talking animal stuff (toddler)

the animal designs from fairly odd parents + wulf from danny phantom (maybe 4/5)

nickelodeon: ren & stimpy (sorry.), catdog, the angry beavers, catscratch & the mighty b bc i really liked happy (bessie's dog)

disney: american dragon. that's it

cartoon network: this one's weird bc early cn for me (dexters lab, ppl, samurai jack, ben 10, generator rex) was more Artistic inspiration than talking animal inspiration. ill include it here for posterity

sonic the hedgehog. ofc (7/8)

the wide swath of smaller talking-animal based shows on jetix, cartoon network, discovery kids, etc. like yin yang yo, brandy and mr whiskers, mlp, almost naked animals, two stupid dogs, i am weasel, etc.

tuff puppy (sorry.)

adventure time (jake & cake) & regular show (mordecai and rigby) (10, when i started drawing)

the entire digimon catalogue from adventure to hunters (this was a big one.)

keroro gunso (sigh.)

summer wars AND wolf children (i got into them at the same time)

bojack horseman (12. i think this was the tipping point)

and undertale (13.)

and then when i turned 14 i made my very first furry oc. and here we are about 6 years later
