A Dr. Blakk discussion
I wanted to do a post on Dr. Blakk since his grand arrival for Ascension is coming up in a few weeks. The reason I really wanted to make this post is that it feels like no one really talks about him as a villain or like his motivation. I mean, the guy has such a horrible childhood, from his father abandoning him to basically becoming a child slave to working as a gangster, and yet despite all of these awful things that happened to him, he's not treated as a villain that could be redeemed but really just a man who got so lost in the sauce with power that he can't stop himself. And him coming back to Slugterra and giving up his powers just so he can get another shot at retaking Slugterra, only to probably lose again, is just proof of that.
All of this came down to the fact that I never knew what Blakk did when I was a child. I just thought oh, he's the villain and a bad guy because he ghouls the slugs, which isn't wrong. But when you're a child, you see things in a very black-and-white way; Eli put it the best in Back to Blakk when he said to Blakk, "Why be evil? Why not use your power for good?" And the answer is, well… because he's a capitalist, Eli. That's right, I'm about to get all political on this bitch, so stand back!
So, I wanted to get it out there why I feel like Dr. Blakk is the LITERAL definition of a business tycoon or a capitalist. Okay, not literal, but a great spokesman. Now that I'm older (I know a lot more about politics now, unfortunately), it's so apparent. I never knew when I was younger what Dr. Blakk did. I thought he just was a bad guy because he corrupted slugs, which is true, but I never thought much of it. It's evident in Back to Blakk when he talks about taking an old railway station and states he "turned it into the backbone of Slugterra" that he's really the equivalent of Vanderbilt for Slugterra.
The wiki constantly talks about how Dr. Blakk was using his business to hide his ghouling slug progress, which I didn't feel was the case in Back to Blakk. Blakk said power is everything, and what better way to be feared is by gentrifying people's neighborhoods with his train for the affluent and wealthy.
It wasn't until Will Shane directly confronted him that I feel like Blakk realized the only thing he doesn't have control over is the slugs, and that's why he turned to ghouling or at least tried to find a way to control them without putting in any more work. If there's nothing capitalists love more than maximizing their profits, it's doing it at little cost and as effectively as possible, even at the expense of their workers. And that's basically what the slugs are; workers that Blakk is exploiting to make himself more powerful.
There are also moments when Blakk just completely takes over a market just so Blakk Industries can become a monopoly. Destroying the beast forge means that everyone has to take his train. When he found another cavern with lumino ore, he came to the old one to destroy it, saying, "You're the competition." And you would expect people to stop supporting Blakk, but I see the opposite.
Literally, in the next episode, Slugball, the announcers are holding up merchandise with Blakk's symbol all over it and state that there were rumors that Blakk destroyed the beast forge. Like only rumors!! How is that possible?!?
The people of Slugterra don't really care because as long as they have their railway and their slugball, why does it matter if Blakk is ghouling the slugs. They're just ammo, anyway. I don't think I'm reading too much into the show because all of this happens directly in the show multiple times (and in real life too lol). People like Dr. Blakk exist in the real world. They cover up the horrible things they do all the time. And people just either don't care or are too discouraged to even stand up to someone like Blakk. Slugterra is lucky they have the Shanes to do that for them.
Well, in conclusion, I guess… Dr. Blakk is a capitalist and a businessman. Man pulled himself up by his little boots straps, and everyone clapped, only for Eli to pull out a sign saying slug rights on it while walking back and forth in front of Blakk's citadel. The only difference in comparison to the real world is that Eli actually stopped Dr. Blakk… until Ascension dropped 👀
#slugterra#slugterra thoughts#The mental image of Eli standing in front of Blakk’s citadel screaming slug rights is hilarious to me#Will also says slug rights#I feel like I have more to say about Blakk#This won't be my last post on him#But don't ask me why he calls himself Dr#I have no thoughts on that one

Anonymous said: How did Carmilla become an overlord? And what is her rank in terms of power 1 being the weakest and 10 being the strongest?
Boy, oh boy, I get to talk about Carmilla!
Okay, so! I personally headcanon that Camilla was born into a mafia family who--you guessed it--dealt in buying and selling weapons. A business she was exposed to from a young age. At one point, she was even slated to become the her father's successor.
So, when she got to Hell, she saw an opportunity. I haven't nailed down a solid year yet but I'm thinking she and her daughters arrived in Hell in the 1950s-60s. Anyway, in support herself and her daughters, she took what she learned from the family business and applied it while using her own ideas and made a weapons business that steadily grew over the years. Especially when she realized that Exorcist weapons were often left behind after the Exterminations and that could be used to make her own weapons business stick out from the rest by incorporating the angelic metal into the construction of her weapons.
However, I assumed there was a previous Overlord who specialized in weapons and saw Carmilla's thriving business as a threat. So, they decided to deal with this new rival themselves and got a rude wake up when not only was Carmilla a threat when it came to businessm she was threat in terms of power as well. Carmilla overthrew the Overlord and became the new Overlord of weapons.
In terms of power scaling thought? I'm...still not quite sure how it exactly it works in Hazbin yet but I think Carmilla is considered the "leader" of the others purely because of her strength and ruthlessness. So...I wanna say maybe 9-10.
Yeah, definitely not someone you wanna fuck with.

ALL of my characters are Mary Sues. Go suck a lemon, fake literature experts of the Internet.
One thing I often see people do online is practice a kind of faux intellectual when it comes to regarding and evaluating the art and media they enjoy (or don't enjoy). On one hand it's heartwarming whenever someone aspires to the intellectual discourse that makes life so much richer. On the other hand it's devastating when they fall so far short.
There is a real lack of depth and internal understanding when it comes to most substantive criticism (I'm not even counting the insubstantive stuff), and one of the areas where this often comes out is the "author surrogate character," more commonly known as the "self-insert" character or less charitably the "Mary Sue." (Because of course names are going to be sexist when they can be. Sorry, "Gary Stu," you're trying but it's not a fight you can win.)
First of all, you usually know right off the bat that you're not dealing with real criticism whenever someone deploys this idea, because most people only ever deploy it on characters or works they don't like. They will readily ignore, and perhaps not even consciously notice at all, the author surrogates in characters and works they do like. Yet the author surrogate isn't an inherently bad thing, any more than first-person points of view are inherently bad.
They're really just misunderstood. Author surrogates are a common failure mode for bad writing. Not many people enjoy reading characters who can do no wrong and who are seemingly invulnerable to everything—except of course for when people do enjoy these characters, cough cough superheroes, cough cough Darth Vader. But, as you can well see, that is not actually the definition of an author surrogate character. An author surrogate character is a character who embodies or otherwise stands for the storyteller. This can be anything from a direct avatar, to a minimalistic template, to a few seeds of mere suggestion. Whether or not these characters are invulnerable or can do no wrong is another matter entirely; that's better described as a "power fantasy" than as an author surrogacy. (And, by the way, power fantasies aren't inherently bad either!)
But the mainstream discourse online has seized on the idea that poorly-executed or otherwise off-putting power fantasies as channeled through individual characters are cases of author surrogates...and the intellectual vapidity of this really shows.
I welcome people who want to aspire to a higher level of discourse in their criticism. But for corn's sake, you don't get to have this for free. You have to put the work in of actually using your brain. It's fine if you don't like a character because they seem unrealistically powerful to you. Just say that! Don't try to dress up your real criticism by calling that character an author surrogate. Well, unless you have the receipts to prove it. But, even if you do have the receipts, don't conflate author surrogacy as a technique with the act of bad storytelling.
My characters are all author surrogates of one form or another because that's the only kind of character I know how to write. I'm just not any good at writing characters who don't relate to my own experience. Like, for instance, petulant brats, cool jocks, businessmates who see no problem with ravaging the environment and exploiting their workers...these are all potentially great character types, but I can't write them for beans, because I just don't have the experience and I can't fake it. My characters are either parallels to or subversions of my own lived experience, mindset, worldview, and characteristic traits. I can change their hair color, and if I've done my job well you can easily differentiate between them. But they're all me, and I find it unamusing that the legitimacy of my entire body of work is collateral damage in the unintended consequences of the half-baked ideas of dumbass critics who don't know what they're talking about when they cry "Mary Sue!"
Thankfully, I don't put much credibility into their claims, so I don't get too bent out of shape about it myself, but for other people's own sakes I would say you're missing out on a lot when you get it in your head that author surrogates are a bad thing.
"Self insert characters are cringe"
Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.
#Author surrogates#Self-insert characters#Author-insert characters#Mary Sue#Okay Gary Stu you can have a tag too

How Fast Is Spectrum’s Internet Really?
How Fast Is Spectrum’s Internet Really?
Fast internet is what Spectrum is known for. Customers are raving about how fast it is. But at what speed? A range of 200 Mbps to 1 Gbps is available from Spectrum. So, you can expect lightning-fast downloads and lag-free streaming. The plan determines the speed, though. If you just need something basic, the 200 Mbps plan should be plenty. Using it for web surfing, emailing, and video streaming is an excellent idea. But you might require more bandwidth if you stream in high definition or have a lot of devices. Particularly well-suited for big families is the 1 Gbps package. It enables lag-free gaming, video calling, and more.
Real-Life Experiences with Spectrum’s Speed
Gather along as we discuss actual life events. New Yorker Mike subscribes to the 400 Mbps package. Working from home, he streams movies, plays games, and more. He asserts that his relationship remains constant. Mike encounters buffering infrequently. The 200 Mbps subscription is also in use by Sarah, another subscriber. She is a loner who watches Netflix and checks her social media accounts online. According to Sarah, the speed is just right. How about large families, though? Four children have been blessed into the Smith family. Concurrently, they stream, play games, and explore the web. The 1 Gbps package ensures that they will never experience slowdowns. Their expectations appear to be met by Spectrum's quickness.
Why Spectrum’s Speed Might Vary
But the pace can change. An important factor is the location. The relationship is stronger in certain places than others. The quantity of devices is also important. Speed could decrease if a lot of devices are connected at once. Additionally, the time of day plays a role. Many people are online at once during peak hours. This may cause a delay. Despite these factors, a large number of clients still have positive experiences. Maintaining speed is made easier with Spectrum's complimentary modem. If you're not sure, keep an eye on your pace. Spectrum provides resources to assist with that.

The Origins of Kaiju Films
Welcome to my five-part analysis of the Kaiju genre. Kaiju films have always fascinated me for their engaging special effects and compelling social commentary.
Kaiju which roughly translates to “strange monster” is often characterized by massive animalistic creatures wreaking havoc on metropolitan areas. Kaiju are often associated with creatures like Godzilla and Mothra but the concept has existed for much longer. In Japanese folklore large creatures or animalistic spirits have existed for quite a long time. The first use of Kaiju in film was not Godzilla (1954) it was actually a translation for the American film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) which used the term on its Japanese poster as a synonym for monster. Godzilla (1954) was the first film to use it to describe the monster itself.
Godzilla (1954) set the tropes by which the Kaiju genre would become synonymous with. The massive monsters, the destruction of cities, the political overtones in the thematics of the film. All three of these aspects would become common place in Kaiju films going forward.
The film was written and directed by Ishirô Honda with co-writers Takeo Murata and Shigeru Kayama. The film's special effects were done by Eiji Tsuburaya. The company behind the film Tōhō Motion Picture Company was the go-to production company for Japan during WWII but post-war due to labor disputes it began to falter. The success of Godzilla and the branding around it has maintained the company into the modern era.
Ishirô Honda from a young age had a desire to work in film but was drafted into the military for eight years right when his film career began. While in the war between Japan and China, he was a prisoner of war. When he returned to Japan he also saw the ruins of Hiroshima. These experiences informed the political messaging in his films.
The criterion article “Godzilla’s Conscience: The Monstrous Humanism of Ishiro Honda” written by Steve Ryfle when speaking of Ishirô Honda’s shaping of the Kaiju genre stated “Other directors had begged off the project, believing it was ridiculous, and that it would likely end up a laughingstock. But to Honda, this was no joke… Honda created a monochrome masterpiece of sci-fi horror punctuated by extensive destruction sequences that elicited real-life fears of nuclear terror. Images of Tokyo smoldering in the wake of the monster, of irradiated civilians setting off Geiger counters, and of the Japanese military overmatched by the seemingly indestructible foe helped turn Honda’s entertainment spectacle into a cautionary tale about the atomic power that had not long ago been unleashed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
The article also mentions the success of Honda’s films globally “Honda’s films were distributed around the world more widely than those of any other Japanese filmmaker prior to Hayao Miyazaki. In addition to having been embedded in popular culture for decades”
Ishirô Honda would continue to work on Toho Kaiju films for years after Godzilla (1954). He directed Rodan (1956), The Mysterians (1957), Mothra (1961), and Destroy All Monsters (1968). He was also a long-time friend of Director Akira Kurosawa helping him on films like Stray Dog (1949), Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior (1980), and Ran (1985).
