#but the game is older than that...

Something I found a while back. I hope this isn't a hoax. The screenshots are of a post from an old Furby blog by a fan (archived).

I haven't found a source which confirms the date for the Doctor Furby episodes, but the YouTube upload of episode 5 mentions the year 2005, while other sources also have 2005 mentioned.

I don't know why the blog says the post is from 2008, since I'm sure the 2005 Furbys would have been discontinued before 2008. The Jetix website also had a Furby microsite, with early captures from March, 2006.

Peeta: You have to learn to love yourself.

Katniss: Don't you hate yourself?

Peeta: Yes, but this is about you. Stay focused.

hot take maybe but the only reason most show runners/producers/writers/etc. age up the (female) characters from book to show adaptation is to overtly sexualize them and not face mass amounts of scrutiny for it.

put 13 year old daenerys next to 30 year old drogo and the audience understands that daenerys is a victim to him and not an equal. put 22 year old emilia clarke as daenerys next to 32 year old jason mamoa as drogo and they’re seen as a budding romance with a tragic ending (by the general audience) due to their on screen chemistry.

flash forward to today, and now we’re dealing with 21 year old milly alcock playing rhaenyra from 14-19 and how her relationship with (28 year old fabien) a mid twenties criston is seen as -morally acceptable- and not a result of a degenerate pedophile taking advantage of and grooming his charge. “ser criston protects the princess from her enemies, but who protects the princess from ser criston?” rhaenyra was 14 when rumors started speculating that she slept with an almost 30 year old criston. a criston who had know her since she was 8 and had been her sworn shield since she was 9. obviously seeing a teenager in the early stages of puberty next to a fully grown man would emphasize rhaenyra being THE victim, as opposed to the show having an 18-19 year old explore her sexuality and seek out ‘consensual’ sex with her peer bodyguard. the discourse has even reached the point where certain stans try to paint the much younger woman as the perpetrator and aggressor of this event, who forced the unassuming man into having sex with her.

i’ll even take this a step farther, and bring up how if they had shown a 19 year old alicent abusing a 10 year old rhaenyra it would be identified and mutually agreed upon as a reprehensible act on alicent’s part. instead they’re of similar age, so people can attempt to paint the picture as two women of equal standing hating each other, and not a much older woman bullying a motherless child. once again however, some stans even go so far as to try and paint alicent as a victim of rhaenyra, and not the other way around. further cementing this is how both versions of alicent are younger than both versions of rhaenyra, AND how criston is still played by an actor who is younger than older!rhaenyra despite his character being the same age as daemon in canon.

they know exactly what they’re doing too, considering they aged alicent down to give her that innate compassion one typically feels when seeing children being abused on tv (something that can no longer be applied to rhaenyra). despite that never being her story; *she* was the abuser, and rhaenyra was her victim. criston’s victim. it’s a nasty cop out, and i wish more people would call out how sickening it is to flip the switch and attempt to make abusive individuals more sympathetic than the *actual* victims of said abusers.

Nine again. She’s been on the mind for uhhh reasons

Godfrey got kicked out on a quest to kill a clone of his toxic mother in law and definitely not develop fatherly feelings about this living weapon who is also a clone of his mother in law

my secret confession is i think a lot of current art in comics is pretty but sometimes way too glossy and lifeless... it kinda feels like a sticker sheet where they just swap out generic stock poses that they have on hand for that character rather than the art being reflective of the actual story and moment the character is currently in

The longevity of Wizard101 will never cease to amaze me. It promotes itself as a free to play game but you can’t even finish the first world without paying. You either pay for a membership or pay for crowns to unlock each individual area and going off of this reddit post, to do that, it costs 175-210 USD.

The ads for game are very misleading and not even in the sense of that the ads’ animation is higher quality than the game, but in that exact ad, the ice wizard wearing level 14-20 gear casts a fire spell. It's a nitpick but it's still something that been bothering me over the years.

Not to mention, Wiz being made in 2008 hasn’t helped it much as the code is so old that it’s actually hard to make updates to the game in 2024.

Despite everything working against this game, it hasn't died yet. The game is slowly coming out with graphic updates. We're still getting new worlds about once a year, new events, and now it's coming to console and maybe mobile in a few more years.
