[countessrivers]

Say more about the weird violent sexual attraction River inspires in the people he meets, please

With pleasure.

You see, it's all about, to start with, Spider, and his psychosexual obsession with River (RIP king, you are missed). It's about Spider ruining River's life again and again even when no one is forcing his hand. It's about the bitchiness and pettiness and Spider bringing up what River does with his dick during work hours. It's about those fucking faces he makes when River throws him up against a filing cabinet. He wanted River to fuck him so bad it made him look stupid (and also ruin River's life. and also in a roundabout way kind of got him killed. But you could also blame that on him being a dick. Again, RIP).

It's all about Spider concocting an elaborate plan to first, get River to angrily threaten and toss him up against things some more, all while playing mind games, second, get the shit beat out of River, and third, stage a public humiliation scene where he reveals everything while his colleagues ooooo and laugh and clap along AND WHERE he both talks about the size of his penis and tells River to quit the service and instead go do porn on OnlyFans.

Also why are the Chieftan bros so into this? They don't know River, they have no stake in this. But see, that's just the effect River Cartwright has on people.

It's all about Duffy telling River he'd like to watch him get eaten feet first by pigs. Like, that's weird. That's violent. That's fucked up. Stansted and the Code September barely had any impact on Duffy, so why is he so angry? Why does he care so much? Why is he spending his time fantasising about elaborate ways for River to die? (see above)

It's all about the repeated threats of violence and Duffy calling him 'sunshine' as he and the dogs toss him into a car to be taken to a locked cell under the Park where Duffy will proceed to beat the shit out of an unarmed River while bringing up River's daddy issues. Which, he apparently knows about. And is apparently thinking about a more than 0 amount. Which is of course is normal and not weird.

It's all about Hobbs wanting to watch River humiliate himself in front of a crowd of recruits. It's all about Hobbs telling River he wants a recording of River humiliating himself in front of a crowd of recruits because he's going to jerk off to it, with an implication that he's worn out his old material which I guess may or may not have also involved River. And it's all about Hobbs then joining in with Duffy to beat the shit out of an unarmed River in a locked cell under the Park.

It's also all about the three of them in said locked cell talking a lot about River's dick and balls and potential lack thereof, while they beat the shit out of him.

It's all about how in the books Patrice kidnaps River, wrecks his shit, and then tells people passing by not to worry, his boyfriend is just having a panic attack because he gets claustrophobic on the tube. It's all about Patrice sitting down next to River, putting his arm around him to keep up the charade and whispering to him how easy it is/would be to hurt him. It's all about Patrice, later, kissing River on the cheek, telling him they'll talk soon, and then going off to murder his grandfather and Slough House colleagues.

(and it's, you know, a little bit about River doing the tossing of Spider up against things and getting one over on Hobbs and egging Duffy on while refusing to fight back and bringing up personal things that conflict with Patrice's brainwashed child soldier conditioning and I guess just in general being a beautiful, bitchy, blond man constantly getting into trouble)

ScoobyNatural Yellow Draft

In other insane things that happened on Supernatural, someone somewhere along the line decided to change the name of the “twins” Dean seemingly had intimate relations with from Carlyle to Cartwright

and Cartwright Twins is the name of a baseball team based in Canada

Like we can’t make this stuff up there was a conscious decision to change the name bro

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: School Trip

At the beginning of One More Hero after OMT!Sonic's summary, we cut to OMT!Tails having gotten ready for school whilst listening to Sunflower on his MP3 player.

OMT!Tails: Mmhmhmhmmm~. Ohohohoooh~!

He hummed along a bit to the song, with some Vocaloid-like lyrics coming from the song. Pretty familiar somewhat? As he did so, he heard Amy call from downstairs.

OMT!Amy: Hey, Tails!

OMT!Tails: Yeah?

OMT!Knuckles: You all done packing up for your first day back at school?

OMT!Tails: (Man. Can't believe I'm going back to school proper after a whole year on the hero job. Gosh, I'm so nervous, but I'm sure I can do it!) I've just finished ironing my last shirt, and I'm coming down!

He got his bag and headed downstairs.

OMT!Knuckles: Let's get going, little bro. The bus to Central City's gonna be departing shortly.

OMT!Tails: Okay, then! I'm ready to go!

They stepped outside, ready to get going.

OMT!Amy: See you on Friday, Tails!

???!?????: Hey! Wait for me!

OMT!Cream arrived, all ready for her first day back at school too.

OMT!Tails: Heh, great timing, Cream!

They got on the bus to head over to the city.

OMT!Cream: Are you looking forward to seeing Miss Sally this weekend, Tails?

OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah. I've really been looking forward to catching up with her. I really hope she's doing okay after...

OMT!Knuckles: Yeah, I get you, kid.

A few minutes later, OMT!Tails and OMT!Knuckles got off the bus into the streets as the bus departed.

OMT!Knuckles: Hey, I just saw that new coffee shop over there. You see that, Tails?

OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah.

OMT!Knuckles: Hmm... What was it called again?

OMT!Tails: Foam Party, wasn't it?

OMT!Knuckles: Ah, yeah. Still wondering whether it's actually a coffee shop or a disco place.

As they continued their walk, they heard a radio in a shop window.

News Anchor: There are multiple reports of another mysterious seismic event off the shore of the island. Sources close to Detective Ghost say she is currently looking into the problem.

OMT!Knuckles: Detective Ghost… I still don't know what Sonic saw in her. I mean, that girl swings through once a day and answers to very few, right?

OMT!Tails: I think she's pretty cool, though.

OMT!Knuckles: Meanwhile, guys like you and me, doing our part to keep South Island safe…

OMT!Tails: Mhm.

OMT!Knuckles: We've been showing our faces to the public. And with great ability should come great accountability for it.

OMT!Tails: That's not how Spidey's saying goes, Knux, heh.

OMT!Knuckles: Heh, sorry. Her special UNO deck Sonic funded is pretty cool, though. I'll give her that.

As they walked by, Kaede Titan, the secret assumer of the Detective Ghost identity, heard Knuckles's comment and couldn't blame him for disliking her hero self, as she headed over to Bumper High School alongside her adopted little brother, Max Cartwright.

Kaede: You ready to go, Max?

Max: Heh, sure am! I can't wait to catch up with Danny and Olivia again! (Hopefully Benny will actually lay off this week. He's such a jerk...)

They soon arrived at the door into the building.

Max: See you later, Kaede!

Kaede: Bye, Max! Have a good day at school!

OMT!Tails and OMT!Knuckles stepped up by the area.

OMT!Knuckles: I'm sure you'll do great, Tails. Heh, with your genius, you might give some of the other students some inspiration.

OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah.

He gave Knuckles a gentle hug.

OMT!Tails: See you this weekend, Knuckles.

OMT!Knuckles: See you then, Tails. Love you, little bro.

He stepped inside the school as Kaede watched from a distance, wanting to go and figure out what all the earthquake news was about. Once she was under cover, she pulled out a special hat and jacket, ready to figure out just who was behind the seismic events that plagued South Island's east end more recently.

A comic book with Detective Ghost is shown joining OMT!Sonic's game box.

"Okey-doke! Let's do this one last time."

Kaede is shown putting her hero mask on.

"My name is Kaede Titan. I gained my own ability to go at super-speed, and for a couple of years, I've been the one and only Detective Ghost! Sure some of you out there might know the rest."

A shot is shown of her easily dodging Dr. Razereye's lasers.

Dr. Razereye: Grr! Stop dancing and be incinerated already!

Detective Ghost: Nah!

"I've foiled Razereye's schemes..."

"Fell in love with Luna..."

"Adopted Max into my family..."

"...and then I saved the island from crooks time and time again!

Compared to Sonic, I got a whole secret identity thing going on, and though it's tough, I can say with confidence that I've loved helping save the day. And no matter how many times I get hit, I always find my way to keep on moving. Because right now, the only thing standing between South Island and oblivion... is me.

There's only one Detective Ghost out there. And you're lookin' at her!"

Back in reality, OMT!Tails stepped into Bumper High School, taking it all in as people passed him by.

Kickroyale: Yo, look who's back! What's kickin', kid?

OMT!Tails: Hey! Just walking by. How are you?

Olivia Kennedy (Max's GF): Hey, Tails! How's the weekend been?

OMT!Tails: Heh, pretty short, huh?

Samuel Ciprianni (Ms. Ciprianni's son): Did you feel that earthquake last night, too?

OMT!Tails: Eh, not really. I slept like a baby last night.

OMT!Tails came across Bobby Bearhug, who was also settling into school for the first time.

Bobby: Oh! Hey there!

OMT!Tails: Hey!

Bobby: I'm Bobby Bearhug. I'm one of the new students here. You similar?

OMT!Tails: Yeah. It's my open week this week. Name's Miles Prower, though people prefer to call me "Tails"!

Bobby: Well, lovely to meet you!

They shook hands, long enough for OMT!Tails to notice a basketball being lobbed at them and pulling Bobby aside. They noticed Benny as the source of the lobbing.

Benny: Been a while, losers.

OMT!Tails: Oh, great... On my first day here, Benny? Seriously? It's already getting old.

Benny walked up to him.

Benny: Look, Prower. I'm not in the mood to get another detention on the first day of the week, so I'd rather you made this easier and moved aside! You got it?!

Kickroyale saw this, readying himself to get even with Benny before OMT!Tails waved him back.

OMT!Tails: Actually, you know what, Benny? You aren't even worth the effort. It's ridiculous, really. You've still been doing the same old bully routine ever since the second grade. Trying to hit us with a basketball in the corridor? Seriously?

Other students and staff in the corridor watched OMT!Tails talk Benny down.

OMT!Tails: I can't believe I used to be so afraid of bullies. Look around you, Benny. A lot of us have grown up, but you're still the same pathetic loser who has to make other people's day a misery just to feel good about yourself. It's sad, really.

Everyone around him shared their applause for him standing up to Benny in a mature manner, leaving Benny to storm off in a huff.

Benny: Urgh! I'll just find someone else to bother! Fuck you, Tails!

A couple of minutes later, class was in session, with a video presentation led by a Head Scientist Zeel Windward in the session.

Head Scientist: ...countless other possibilities! There could be a universe where I'm wearing red, or I could be another creature entirely!

OMT!Tails stepped inside, a little bit late for class.

Mrs. Ciprianni: Heh, stumbling around in the dark, Tails? Didn't expect you to be late on your first open day.

OMT!Tails: Well, Einstein did say time is relative, right? Maybe I'm not late and everyone else started early.

A couple of sniggers came about from fellow students, including a young mongoose with long purple hair at the back.

????: Heh, sorry. It was just so quiet.

OMT!Tails took a seat at the back with her, Max and Danny, the lattermost having fallen asleep midway through.

Head Scientist: Our universe is, in fact, one of MANY happening at the exact same time. Thanks to everybody working as part of Comet-Innovation, we'll prove it exists once multiversal travel is fully stabilised. We just need a bit more funding to make it happen.

???? (Mina): I liked your pun, before, by the way.

OMT!Tails: Really?

Mina: I mean, it wasn't funny, that's why I laughed. But it shows you got smarts, so I liked it.

OMT!Tails: Heh, thanks. You know, I don't think I've seen you about before-.

Ms. Ciprianni: Shh!

OMT!Tails: Oh! Sorry.

They quietened down as the lesson continued.

Head Scientist: Every choice that we make, it could lead to whole alternate timelines with countless other possibilities. A What-If to reality!

A little later, OMT!Tails was checking his true/false mini-quiz with Ms. Ciprianni to see how he did.

Ms. Ciprianni: So you see, young Miles, if someone wearing a blind-fold on a true-or-false quiz picked the answers at random, what score would they get?

OMT!Tails: Fifty percent, of course!

Ms. Ciprianni: Heh, that's correct. And the only way to get all the answers wrong on this is to know which ones are right.

She added a "1" and "0" on either end of Tails's sheet to show he had gotten full marks.

Ms. Ciprianni: I can tell you're pretty nervous with starting high school, Tails, but I promise you'll do well here.

OMT!Tails: Y-You mean it?

She nodded with a smile.

Ms. Ciprianni: So, I'm gonna set you an essay to think about over the coming months. Don't worry, it's not anything urgent, and it's not about physics. It's about you, and what kind of person you want to be.

After he left class, Crafty Canvas (who goes by the nickname "CraftyCorn") came up to Tails.

Crafty: Hey, Tails.

OMT!Tails: Hey, Crafty! What's that you got there?

Crafty: A petition sheet I've been sharing around. You know how computers have been generating art and all that?

OMT!Tails: Yeah... As a tech kid myself, I'm not exactly a fan of it.

Crafty: This sheet is to help get it outlawed here on South Island. Would you mind signing it, please?

OMT!Tails: Of course I can!

He did so.

OMT!Tails: Hmm... Seeing as how I've got a mix-match schedule, is it okay if I go around collecting more signatures for you in my free time? I promise I'll hand you it back by the end of this week.

Crafty: Oh, yes, please. That would be lovely!

OMT!Tails: Sweet! Well, have a nice day, Crafty.

Crafty: You too, Tails!

Later on that evening, OMT!Tails was walking through town to visit Uma Arachnis, someone he looked up to, at the apartment complex. He found her texting on the couch before she saw him.

OMT!Tails: Hey, Uma! Haha! Did I scare ya?

A little bit later, she was doing the dishes as OMT!Tails practiced his fighting on a punching bag.

Uma: How are you settling into school, Tails?

OMT!Tails: Going great so far. I've already been getting a lot of friends AND stood up to a bully before.

Uma: Glad to hear it! You know, Tails, smart girls are where it's at. Place must be full of 'em.

OMT!Tails: *sigh* I sure wish so.

Uma: Hey, I can't have a brother-in-law of mine in the streets with no game, you know?

OMT!Tails: Sure I've got game! Ah, actually, there was one girl I remember from one of my classes. Long lavender hair, enjoyed a little joke I made... She's kinda into me. You know how it is.

Uma: What's her name?

OMT!Tails: I didn't get the chance to ask her today. We're just laying down the ground work at the moment.

She was amused by Tails doing his best to sound cool.

Uma: Hey. You know about the shoulder touch?

OMT!Tails: Of course! But tell me anyway, Uma.

Uma: Tomorrow, look out for that girl, walk up to her, and be like...

She put her hand on Tails's shoulder to demonstrate.

Uma: Hey~!

OMT!Tails: Heh! You serious, Uma?

Uma: I'm telling you, it clicks pretty well if done brilliantly.

OMT!Tails: So, I just walk up to her and be like "hey"?

Uma: Nonono. Like "hey"!

OMT!Tails: "Hey!"

Uma: Nah. "Heeeey~!"

OMT!Tails: "Heeeey~!" Hahaha!

Uma: You sure you're my brother-in-law, kid? Haha! C'mon, bro. I got a spot you probably won't believe!

They arrived in an underground sewer area.

OMT!Tails: How do you know about this place?

Uma: I've been doing an engineering job down here. I know these tunnels like the back of my hands. If anyone asks, tell them your art teacher sent you.

Soon, they entered a wide spot.

OMT!Tails: Woah... (echoing) Mobius! Mobius! Mobius!

The room's full of beautiful street art - a lovingly-made secret spot.

Uma: There's a lot of history on these walls.

OMT!Tails: This is so cool!

She tossed a spray can to Tails before turning on a stereo to play some music as he began making some art. As he did so, Uma signed the petition sheet, knowing Tails was gonna do the island proud.

Uma: The Tails I know well, coming outta hiding.

She gave him a helping hand, with a montage shown of them working on the art together, using multiple spray cans to make it stand out.

Uma: Wow!

OMT!Tails stepped back, admiring his work, built around his silhouette with nothing in the middle but two words; "NO EXPECTATIONS!".

OMT!Tails: Is it too crazy?

Uma: Nah, Tails. I see exactly the message you're trying to get across.

He smiled, so happy to have an art piece to call his own and to be expanded upon another time. Uma's phone vibrated as she saw a message.

Uma: Alright, then. Time for us to get rolling. You got a busy day tomorrow.

OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah.

He took a picture of the mural on his Camega before heading out, returning to his high-school dorm where Danny was.

Danny: *yawn* Hey, Tails. Still up and about?

OMT!Tails: Yeah. I'm ready to get some sleep now. Catch you in the morning, Danny!

Danny: Good night, bud!

He laid in the top bunk of the bed, ready to settle down, as Danny read a Detective Ghost comic in bed to help him drift to sleep.

If he was in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, Bowser Jr. would be voiced by Tara Strong. Change my mind.

I DON'T HAVR TO BECAUSE THAT'S GREAT!!

...THAT or Nancy Cartwright

It's interesting because I was just reading this article about the making of Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa, largely believed to be the worst animated holiday special of all time.

The story goes that the producer had a dream of creating an animated film, but he and his studio did not have the funds needed to hire really skilled 2D animators or animate in 2D, or even to outsource the development to Asia which was the style at the time.

2D animation costs a lot because it's hard fucking work, it takes a long time to get right and thousands and thousands of drawings by a skilled team of many, many people. That's not even counting tweening and coloring and special effects and post and editing and all the drawings that have to be thrown away or get cut. The result can be absolutely incredible and awe-inspiring to look at, but it's not cheap and the artists more than deserve fair pay considering the years you have to put in to get really, really good at it.

Well, this guy decided that in order to have his dream realized, he would have to find a way to slash costs. This was at a time when CGI for animation was still fairly new but not bleeding-edge. Ultimately he set his sights upon a software called 3D Choreographer, which was kind of the 3D equivalent of PowerPoint. I'm talking clip-art tier. This tool had no business being used for animation of any kind, much less for an animated feature.

To make a long story short the limited featureset crippled the production of this special. Apparently the program had no way to import models into it so they paid the developers of the software to create models of the characters and send those files back over. Too bad nobody told the developers of 3D Choreographer how to 3D animate human beings. This is why all of the characters look nightmare-tier. I mean this MIGHT be okay for like, a school project, a demo, something like that. But for an animated Christmas special set to air on the WB featuring the voice talents of not just Mark fucking Hamill, not just Jodi Benson i.e. Ariel the Little Mermaid, but Nancy Cartwright i.e. Bart fucking Simpson???? Bro.

Apparently the producer was very well connected and treated the voice talent right which enabled him to net these star players while just not giving a shit about the animation quality. Which is arguably the most important thing in an animated feature next to, I don't know, the story? Which is pure shit as well.

Anyway they were given a timeline of 4 months to animate a 40 minute special. 4 months. In the 3D equivalent of PowerPoint. With no storyboards. None.

It didn't turn out so good.

The article goes into way more detail about how this came to be but let me tell you, it is fascinating. And it's sad that good 2D animation is no longer valued in the industry as it should be, because it's starting to become a lost art. What I learned from this story is that producers will take any excuse to cut costs. The mistake that these producers made was not understanding the technology, the time estimate, or what they were looking to create. They failed on basically every level, starting with communication with the animators and artists about what they would need to get the project done.

(The only good thing you can say for them is that they did, apparently, compensate the animators fairly. But man, would any of them really want to put this shit on their resume afterward?)
