MvA h/cs

Cooked up some movie & TV h/cs...cuz I can

Overall

before the timeline of the movie, the monsters had a TV on occasions. This was a rare treat which lasted until the TV set broke on its own and couldn't be repaired or got destroyed

the monsters' rec area was like the hand-me-downs central; anything the staff didn't want or need anymore went to the monsters, from those playing cards to radios to whatever. It usually came from the trash heap for Dr C's meals

the 2000s brought a little variety as a lot of people at the base made the transition to DVDs and threw out their VCR sets and cassette tapes

after the post-freedom upgrade, the base set up on-demand entertainment for the monsters

for every streaming site, every monster has their own accounts. Except for Link & Butterflysaurus (or B) who share accounts

they can all agree on sit-coms and comedies, believe it or not, some film noir or some off-the-wall random movie

depending on the sport, they all like watching a good game

Susan

down for most anything anyone wants to watch

likes period and mid-century romance/dramas like Downton Abbey, Bridgerton, Call The Midwife, Mad Men, and anything based off Jane Austen's books

was a Twilight fan back in her teens and now cringes at those memories of being on Team Edward

chic flicks: Legally Blonde, Pretty Woman, The Notebook, Mamma Mia!, Audrey Hepburn movies. Titanic and Moulin Rouge! are both fully capable of making her cry almost every time. This is a very good reason why she has her own streaming accounts

can make it through most horror movies but doesn't really enjoy them

roots for all sports teams from Cali

the only monster most willing to watch whatever BOB wants to watch

liked watching cooking shows and DIY tutorials when she was small. She'll still watch them sometimes inspite of the fact she can't easily cook or pull off most DIYs

BOB

the kids' page on streaming sites & YouTube Kids all the way!

has the kid's tendency to watch the same thing over and over again and never get sick of it

the other monsters can't watch adult films and shows with him. He'll ask questions like, what's going on during a bedroom scene or "What's a [enter any profanity of your choice here]?". He's also a parrot who will mindlessly repeat a single swear word he only heard once

sometimes you'll find him watching random stuff like a Malaysian talk show or a Julia Child cooking tutorial or some abstract silent film

you know those kids' shows that interact with the audience, like Mr. Rogers, Blues Clues, & Dora the Explorer? Yeah, he REALLY gets into them

had a kids tablet for about two weeks but then accidentally ate it. Monger hasn't had the heart to give him another one

Dr C

his pastimes include lab experiments, reading books and science papers, playing chess (via a computer versus the CPU/another player online because no one at the base wants to play), and other mentally/intellectually stimulating activities, so he'll watch something if he wants and/or needs a mental break

the other monsters tried getting him into Big Bang Theory. To everyone's surprise, he didn't care for it

has BritBox

when he's chilling, he'll watch vintage/vintage-style musical movies, particularly with good dance numbers like Singin' In The Rain. One of his heroes in dance is Gene Kelly; Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers would've been on his list, but he hasn't had a skilled dance partner offhand since his college days

likes videos like Ted Talks and Infographics Show (YouTube). He may be the most brilliant man in the world but he knows there's always more to learn

his YouTube subscriptions include dance groups and science lecturers from around the world

doesn't care much for most sports but he'll gladly watch polo and a lot of the Olympics. Tried to pass the time by reading a book during a football game once, and Link said, "Doc, if you don't put that book down, I'll throw you and that thing in the trash!". Never again

Link

as mentioned in an earlier H/C post of mine, he's a closeted shonen anime fan and he'll watch anything but One Piece

football is his favorite sport to watch. He watches it when he can

NEVER misses Super Bowl Sunday. Or at least to the best of his ability. He was very disappointed when one of his missions happened on Super Bowl Sunday

also likes WWE

martial arts: always and forever, baby!

has watched both Luca and The Shape of Water. He doesn't mind them but he got pretty annoyed when people made comparisons between him and the Amphibian Man or the sea monsters. BOB was like, "Hey, Link! Why don't YOU turn into a human when you leave your tank?"

was into superhero movies and TV series in the 2010s but jumped off the bandwagon when he thought they were being overdone. Though he still likes Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool, and anything with Wolverine

thinks Star Wars, Harry Potter, and most other popular sci-fi/fantasy franchises are just for kids and nerds

doesn't care much for romances or most cartoons either

if something scares him or makes him cry, he'll try to hide it

it took him a while to be able to watch anything with Shrek after being mistaken for Shrek in the Halloween special

[a/n: I can also see him being a gamer]

Insecto/B

likes sports no thanks to Link

will watch most anything Link watches

likes some anime, particularly Sailor Moon for whatever reason

likes cartoon shows meant for older kids

doesn't like horror movies, has a hard time settling down or going to sleep after watching one

avoids animal/nature programs as some of them can be quite traumatizing

every now and then she'll be caught watching something with BOB like Bluey

Monger

watches the news every day

knows better than to believe everything he sees

watches a little M*A*S*H before bedtime at least twice a week

every now and then watches stuff like All in the Family just cuz he likes the comedic but logical political tension among the main characters

still has analog cable (antenna and all) at the farm

hates I Love Lucy because his wife had it on TV more than anything else

likes war films and a number of films about World War II. There's a few he won't watch tho because he thinks they're either badly made, too sentimental, or too depressing

likes comedies from the 1950s-60s

The President

likes watching himself on TV and videos online

likes talking smack to opposing politicians when watching videos of them, like, "In your dreams, bucko! Not while I'm large and in charge!"

comedies, comedies, comedies...and game shows

Simpsons fanboy

has an appreciation for daytime TV: long-running soap operas, talk shows hosted by middle-aged women, Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, etc.

considers the family sitting in front of the TV together as quality family time and sit-coms as an American staple

can't watch foreign language films with English subtitles. He eventually gets bored and falls asleep

as mentioned in an earlier H/C post, he doesn't trust biopics one bit. After finding out over half of The Greatest Showman was fictional, he lost faith in any portrayals of history both on screen and stage

Derek

liked watching famous news reporters and weather-folk as role models when he was a kid and as inspiration when he became a weatherman

took Susan and other girls he dated to the movies

if not at the movies, he and Susan would curl up on a sofa and watch something together, going back and forth between what he likes and what she likes

likes most sports, except basketball

Ted Talks, late night talk shows, and popular sit-coms

watches whatever catches his attention on Hulu and Max

had a very hard time watching anything with the monsters. Still does but it's not as hard anymore

Invisible Man

went to a few drive-in theaters with his wife on dates before and after they got married

Andy Griffith and Red Skelton were some of his favorite shows

yet he enjoyed some of the heavier and less lighthearted films, like Streetcar Named Desire. If he cried, he tried to not let anyone know

not much of a cinema-goer but he enjoyed taking his two older kids

liked what little he saw of The Carol Burnett Show while in prison

if he saw Mel Brooks' films, he would've loved them

von Wolfmann (my OC, a German wolfman and past monster, at Area 5X 1960-65)

having lived much of his 70+-year life away from society, he probably had no idea what TV & cinema were, let alone knew they existed

The Cyberian (my OC, a Soviet Russian cyborg and past monster, at Area 5X 1981-85)

TV became a bit of a staple in the Soviet Russian home over time, so there was a handful of shows that she liked throughout her life

she liked going to the movies with her dad/grandparents as a kid and teenager, a special treat

didn't like anything based off books. "Just read the book." She said. "No pictures but they're a lot more interesting than THIS sad piece of work"

thought period pieces were boring. More than once she fell asleep watching them

grew up with black-and-white TV, so she was excited the first time she saw color TV

learned some of her English from what little TV the monsters had and learned a bit about the USA and the world outside the USSR

probably would've been the only monster to have been a big fan of Star Wars and/or Star Trek

watching the news surrounding the 0l!mp!cs fills me with disgust but also with hope. The voices of frustration and resistance against this nonsense are getting louder and louder and more and more frustrated. And at the same time the usual deflection of throwing around insultes like confetti looses more and more it's meaning.

There is still a long way to go... but the winds of change are here. Normalcy is taken over again. And future generations will look at the history books thinking: "TF happened back then? How could insanity rule the whole western world like that??" (just like we are looking back at events less than a century ago and wonder how could all of this happen?)

With enough indoctrination everything is possible...

The Olympics debacle was so badly received I did not see one post glorifying it or even mentioning it here on Tumblr. Not one. It's true there's a push back. At least there are people admitting there's a vocal minority pushing weird stuff as a norm:

Speaking of weird stuff, the new order going out to the mainstream media is to push more the idea that conservative social norms are weirrrd now. Matt Walsh did a montage showing it:

youtube

I've had this psyop being pulled on me my whole life, and it hasn't worked. The oft spoken of coworkers have pushed it the most. I'm weirrrrrd for not indulging in the same ruinous self-destructive bad decision making as the rest of them, starting when they were younger into that 'forever in college' party lifestyle and culminating into the day they all went in a big group to get that experimental Covid vaccine. They can sneer at me all they want, but I wouldn't be any one of them for a million dollars, especially since I'd be likely to die from comorbidity of being grotesquely overweight before I could enjoy it all.

It helps I'm only hearing it from Matt Walsh because I don't take in mainstream news or watch much television outside of the few episodes of anime per day, like Black Clover or My Hero Academia. One must curate their media experience same as internet.

And future generations will look at the history books thinking: "TF happened back then? How could insanity rule the whole western world like that??"

Hopefully it will end up that way. The alternative is the end of Western civilization due to suicidal left-wing insanity.

A couple more:

The thing with drag queens.....is anybody else sick of them? -Or is it just me? I'm sick to death of drag queens for the same reason I'm sick of furries and trans people. -Like maybe they were fun and campy for a minute, but then the most obnoxious people on earth had to start injecting them into every damn thing until you can't get away from them.

Let's make 2025 the year people finally get sick of drag queens, trannies, monster fucking and stupid furry bullshit. Autistic people...stop being into trans and go back to being into trains. If someone isn't into trains, they might still be interested in hearing infodumping about railroads, but nobody is interested in hearing about all the boring-as-shit made-up gender 'science' being spewed on Tumblr 24/7.

#leftist culture #drag queens #this again #paris olympics #is it just me?!#matt walsh #dank memes #sick of it #oh tumblr #trenderqueer #it got old #youtube

Tw: mentions of abuse, domestic violence, & intimate partner violence

I'm so sick and tired of him being allowed to play tennis and continue to be in the spotlight. During AO, I feel, they were obligated to mention it, but now there is NOTHING mentioning it. And he straight up is going to be playing for Team Europe too, there is absolutely nothing being done. And now, while I don't know if it's true, rumors that he'll be added into TpSpn???? It's ridiculous there has been NO repercussions about this.

Details of the domestic violence below the cut, it's fucking terrible that he could have THESE against him and the A/TP has done nothing. Also, it goes without saying, that any DV case needs to be taken seriously regardless of the "level." Sure. They did "their own investigation," which just came down to not enough sustainable evidence. But personally, that obviously isn't enough for me. Especially so, they can't down right say these are false, just technically they can't be proved. Like a said, is bullshit to me anyways.

Fuck him wholeheartedly and I/TF, A/TP and I'm assuming Olymp*cs as well, that will/are allowing him to play. He wasn't even suspended, which wouldn't have been enough, but at least SOME PUNISHMENT.

#abuse #domestic violence #pls lmk you need this tagged #max's 💭#🎾#sorry im just really annoyed and upset and frustrated with this whole things since january #and him being put into ANOTHER game is just making me lose my mind #like we cant be punished on the court and them he gets to be immortalized (i understand a lil dramatic but you get it) in a game as well???#oh fuck off with that!!!!#***he cant be #***then #sorry for the typos 😭

Just read your fic 'a simple mission' and BY GOD. holy crap. This is?? My favourite cs fic I've ever read?? Legitimately. I don't have a ao3 acc, so hopefully you won't mind me dumping my thoughts here:

I ADORE how you showed devineaux is when he's not, infact, chasing carmen around clearly at his wits end- but in fact right smack bam in his element!! Seeing him displayed as actually strong, intelligent, fast and *especially* intimidating!! it's,, addicting to read,,

I do like how zack notes this outloud, how hes alot more scary in close, claustrophobic quarters. As much I do love his usually goofy self, cool and professional devineaux is,,, um.,well.😳you know.

Throughout the whole time reading I had this huge grin on my face- props to you dude!!

I am 1009% fine w you telling me your thoughts through inbox. I love them and want to eat them w milk like one does w some delicious cereal at 3am. That is quite literally so sweet of you to say. I am beyond happy to know that you enjoyed it so much. Literally, weeping on the floor and rolling around in it. They are all my loves and I adore them all and I hold them in my hands sweetly like a delicate dew drop. I distinctly remember writing that fic so long ago and I defo feel like it still holds up today.

So many fics rag on Chase so much and forget to note his clear abilities, he is incredibly skilled and intelligent (if stemming from obsession) in what he does if incredibly frazzled at times. Like dude found VILE Island? On his own? With ONLY Interpol resources?? Absolute feral slay behaviour from Devineaux. It's not his fault that he is French. It happens to the best of us.

I definitely feel like alot of people would underestimate him until he's running to you at full speed like an olympic athlete and by then, well, it's too late you are a goner.

And, professional in his element Devineaux = 💅❤️‍🔥

#Thank you so kindly I kiss your hand sweetly #Carmen Sandiego #carmen sandiego netflix #chase devineaux #disfordevineaux #cs 2019

.......

Hm.

Looking through my nana's boxes of letters and photos

First box is letters my great grandad kept from his friend in Australia (lots of complaining about Man U, and him being proud of his son Peter who was an Australian Olympic rower in the 90s, so far as I can tell), and postcards from my grandparents to him and from my uncle Pete and his first wife, from various times they went travelling, and photos from the 1940s-1990s (including my great grandad's wedding on Valentine's Day 1942, Butlins-style holidays in the 50s, my grandparents' wedding in England in the 60s (they married actually in Zambia, first, if I remember), my dad's christening in 1973, and one of me as a baby with my nan in '96

My Nana Ban's bus pass from 1982, as well, which I think is the last one she had, my great grandad's passport, his bowls club card, buncha stuff

Then, the second box is a few newspapers (Grandad Ted's death notice, a funny one that's my uncle Pete's car dealership ad from like the 70s), and then photo albums

Second little one, I picked up, cs it wr red, tucked at the back, and it's holiday photos, my Nana Ban and her sister in their 20s, on holiday with a buncha mystery people

Then, at the end, a portrait photo of a man in a nazi uniform. No chance of reading the writing on the back, the pencil has faded, and the pen is scrawly and in German

Except that there's a small bit, in pencil in English, "Airman" - dad looked up the uniform, and he was Luftwaffe

Then I looked back, and there's a group photo - my Nana Ban, her sister, two of their friends, posing for a funny photo with a man, and two men sat in a car - I didn't look closely, the first time, but it becomes very clear that the man posing is in a Nazi army uniform, and the men sat in the car are of a higher ranking, in what dad said was a Nazi staff car

It's captioned on the back "oh boy who is it?" - the man they're posing with is laughing, holding his head sideways

There was a photograph, too, of a grave, which gives slight clue to the date - Johann Oebels, 1884-1937 - so the holiday to Ostend and then Aachen must have been post his death, whoever he was. One of the photos has a "Frau Oebels" in it.

Dad says, he thinks that what must've happened, is that one of Ban and Kitty's friends married a German between the wars, and they went to visit her

Very big shock, to see
