Miscellaneous Cartoon Saloon doodles to put something in the queue- Lotta them are from a while back, but I hope the blorbos are at least recognisable.

The Elmer and Boris one was made before I actually watched the movie, and the Robyn one was made when I haven't seen WolfWalkers in a while- I may have Issues.

Animals are hard, man. Easier to just give humans floofy features (we were robbed of a Mebh with wolf ears). Anyway, I will never let go of the fact that Ross has furiously defended Mebyn on Twitter, and you will pry these gay little wolves from my cold, dead hands.

Once again I took the blorbos. And I make nonsense crossovers with funny indie RPG's. I'll refrain from tagging said RPG's, but if you guess every one/the roles they were placed in, uh. You'll. You'll get a cookie.

I have one criticism of My Father’s dragon, and only one:

Why have the Elevator family own a store and not use that to have Elmer’s backpack be full of obscene amounts of random crap like in the book? The dust bowl could have made the folks in the town be unable to buy things from their store because of lack of funds or having to move out, so they could have a bit more stock that they were unable to sell.

This was my sister’s idea, but Elmer could have endeared himself to some of the creatures that were chasing him for freeing Boris by using those things to help them, like the lion who was having a bad hair day from the cover, and it could have served as more show-don’t-tell examples of his resourcefulness, of his being “the answer guy”

I love the film, but just giving him one lollipop, one piece of gum, and one mirror seems like needlessly shooting yourself in the foot.

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE SOPRANAS - VIDEO MAY BE LOUD

TLDR/TLDW: Sorry, it has nothing to do with "moon food." I had mentioned to somebody today that "Newt was back, tell a friend." I was wrong. Newt is not back in any capacity. He was never even here in the first place. Dude loves the moon, but he failed the moon. Where is my space elevator? My garden? Nothing. Dogshit, bullshit.

I attended your Second Life meating you peace of shite. Your avatar was hideously gormless and not nearly homosexual enough.

It's just a picture of elmer fudd. 512kb video. Do NOT click this link, seriously. This is a picture of Leon Kennedy with a long smooth dick taking a shit in the toilet dressed as a police officer. DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOU ARE FULLY PREPARED TO SEE THIS.

Season 3 Episode 3!!

⚠️⚠️ You know the warning, don't read if you haven't watched this season! ⚠️⚠️

Don't be Elmer's guys. That's just mean.

I love how Diego is obviously stressed, flipping his knife, and when Stan makes one noise, he yells, "Stanley! Now is not the time to be doing karate, okay?" Like, he'd yelling but still sounds like he isn't trying to be mean. But then he says that Stan's mom isn't wrong when she says he needs to practice karate. I mean... at least he's trying.

With the way that they're siblings, I'm surprised they don't blow up at each other more. I mean, Allison is constantly blaming Five. I'd scream at her and tell her it isn't my fault, but Five just calmly says he's just the messenger.

I am in-between, however. Viktor says that Five has a good track record of this stuff, and they should listen to him. I mean, sure. If you count getting stuck in one of the apocalypse for 45 years, failing to stop it the first time, causing another one, stopping that one only to head back to their timeline where they don't exist and causing another one. But to be fair, most of it isn't his fault. And in all honesty, I'd probably be Allison, too. Blaming Five and all that. Even if I do hate it.

As much as it was unnecessary, I do actually like the random fight scene between Lila and Five. Grabbing the shampoo and squirting it in her eyes was just smart. I mean, that hurts.

Sorry, but Allison calling Fei a flock of shegulls was actually really funny.

She is dumb however for saying they had Marcus.

It seems all the hargreaves need to do is actually talk to each other. Five and Lila just walked off with both briefcases. Diego knew they had both briefcases. But Allsion and Viktor still think the Sparrows have it.

"Pills, bills, and num nums." Wow, okay. Reggie's life is sad now.

Gotta say, I really love the Five-Lila duo. They're literally just perfect. The best platonic relationship in the show.

Luther being oblivious and missing everything while he was gone is just... well, honestly, it fits for him and this family. I'm glad Diego and Luther are making buddy-buddy, tho.

And poor Stan studying the elevator 😭

Another thing I love is the father son bonding moment with Reggie and Klaus. Reg is just so out of it. Not his normal self because of the pills, but his real self still peaks through, and Klaus is literally just chilling. Talking to him like normal and giving him tips on how not to take pills.

Also, Luther wanting to make Viktor feel loved and throw him a party to welcome him to the brother side is so sweet.

I feel like Klaus is always on side missions. Doing absolutely for the plot but just there for some comedic relief. And then something will happen, like he'll find the kugelblitz in the basement and then everybody already knows, so it doesn't matter. But at least he finally knows.

When the Sparrows show up and both sides of the family face each other, people take pictures. Like that's the best thing they've ever seen. And it probably is, I mean, the superheros they know that protect their city are supposedly meeting with a random group of deranged adults. I hope they showed those photos to as many people as they could before they got kugelblitzed. Just to cause some chaos.

Also, I thought this episode was longer. I desperately want to watch the next episode to watch the interactions with Harlan and Lila saying she'll miss Five, but I'll wait.

Quin 😭🤲 I beg you for some Kid and mechanic AU ? 👀 also I hope you're having a FABULOUS day so far, mwah !! 💖💋

OH MAN - Kid and crew being mechanics is a huge head canon of mine for modern AUs.

In the one shot Elevated, the business they own is a repair/build shop, kind of handyman deal, and in A Light Touch Kid does a lot of prosthetic and practical engineering work, and in Family Ties and Birds of a Feather they own an auto body shop.

-:- Kid started out working in someone's auto repair shop when he was younger. He did a lot of gofer and under the table work, and even spent some time jacking cars for money - and the ability to learn more about working on them. He wasn't picky about the source of his knowledge, just hungry to learn.

-:- Kid's interest in the mechanical stretches way beyond just cars, but AU depending on just how much further out it goes.

-:- this guy spends hours in shop pants, a-shirts and grease stains.

-:- he's gluing cuts shut with elmer's glue while Killer is beating him with a rag to handle it properly, but he's so focused on what he's doing he just ignores him until he's done.

Gods, fuck, a premise for this. A premise. I just wanna watch this man work on cars all day. Who needs a plot. Make a calendar out of it.

Heavy metal punks for Charity or something. It's just pictures and pictures of Kid and crew in various states of uniform violations and grease. All grimy, and sweaty, with those really big wrenches over their shoulders and--

ah

/ahem/

...

Okay, but for the charity calendar, at least one month is just full on punk aesthetic, like this.

Send me a character and an AU and I'll give you a treat.

The More Love Grows -

I loved this! I wasn't sure what to expect out of this one but it was so good -- and I'm not even a pet person! It was so empowering and sweet and fun. I mean, the song Tubthumping as a recurring theme was so random but also incredible. Cindy - an icon! What a fantastic character. She gave some really wonderful advice and her song about Elmer is an instant classic. I loved the overall message of the movie. I thought the dialogue was good and realistic. It felt a bit more elevated than what we're used to. I also liked how they ended it. This one was a real gem!

What'd you think of it?

[Fic] Bedtime Story

Fandom: DELTARUNE

Pairing: Swatchton

Characters: Swatch, Spamton, and Clippa

Summary:

Swatch's and Spamton's child Clippa insists on having the same story read to her, over and over again, every single night.

Notes: Originally written in May 2022 for @ne0nwithazero and posted on Archive of Our Own, not quite sure why I didn't post it here as well. Clippa is Jay's OC and is used with permission.

_____________

“What is it, my little [[balloon animal]]?”

Spamton bent down to hear Clippa’s whisper, even though he knew exactly what she was going to ask for.

“[Dwagon!]” she chortled into the audio receiver on the side of his head, her breath stirring his fluffy hair. Holding her arms up in the air, she flapped them briskly and turned in circles like a demented top, nearly knocking Spamton’s glasses off his face.

Of course that was the moment when his spouse walked in with a full basket of folded laundry. They did not have a chance to put it safely down before a happiness-propelled toddler missile collided with their knees.

The basket was knocked to the floor with the impact. Towels, shirts and socks went flying everywhere.  Fortunately, the bed was right behind Swatch; they half-fell, half-sat to prevent serious harm to their anatomy.

The same could not be said for the bird’s dignity. Clippa, the little devil, hugged their legs tightly and looked up at them with pure mischief in her eyes.

Spamton, bless him, was trying his best not to laugh, though the red spots on the puppet’s cheeks became even redder with the effort to hold his amusement in. Swatch picked Clippa up and cuddled her to their chest, saying in as stern a tone as they could muster, “You need to be more careful, dear. You’re getting big and strong and you don’t want to hurt your papa or me, do you?”

“[ DWAGON! ]” she shrieked merrily in response.

Swatch sighed. “I surrender. 'Dwagon’, it is.”  They looked across the room at Spamton, who gave them a big smile and two thumbs up before he retrieved the basket and started picking up the scattered laundry. Swatch smiled back and walked to the head of the bed, pulling back the covers. 

They put Clippa down and got in beside her, tucking the blankets around her with one hand as they grabbed the storybook off the night table. They started to read aloud the chapter where the Old Alley Cat tells Elmer Elevator about the imprisoned baby dragon on Wild Island, doing a rather good imitation of Seam’s voice.

“...Wild Island and Tangerina are joined together by a long string of rocks, but people never go to Wild Island because it’s mostly jungle and inhabited by very wild animals. So, I decided to go across the rocks and explore it for myself…”

Spamton tiptoed out of the room with the once-again full laundry basket that was as big as he was. He took his time rerunning the loads through the washer and dryer. When he got back with the once-again clean laundry, an adorable sight met his eyes.

His and Swatch’s rambunctious daughter was curled up asleep in the curve of Swatch’s left arm. Swatch silently waved Spamton over to the bed with the hand that wasn’t holding the book.  

The puppet didn’t need to be asked twice. He carefully put the basket on the floor near the dresser, carefully got into bed on Swatch’s right side, and carefully snuggled into the curve of Swatch’s right arm, closing his eyes and enjoying the vibrations of Swatch’s chest against his cheek as his spouse purred.

Soon enough, Swatch’s eyes were closed as well.

My Father’s Dragon (2022)

Kilkenny, Ireland-based Cartoon Saloon has now released its last two films in collaboration with companies more interested in maintaining their streaming services than granting a significant theatrical release. Wolfwalkers (2020), a production alongside Apple TV+, was an excellent addition to the studio’s Irish folklore triptych, and understandably few theaters showed it due to COVID-19 pandemic closures. Nora Twomey’s My Father’s Dragon is a Netflix feature, and this is her first directorial effort since The Breadwinner (2017). With a similarly nominal theatrical release, My Father’s Dragon also represents another departure from all of Cartoon Saloon’s feature films thus far: it is specifically for a younger audience. I dislike the prevalent conflation of animated filmmaking as children’s entertainment (whether by those who write about films or filmmakers themselves), but this is an adaptation of Ruth Stiles Gannett’s book of the same name (itself a runner-up for the Newbery Medal, which honors American children’s literature).

My Father’s Dragon is visually striking, although it contains some of Cartoon Saloon’s most simplistic character design yet. But what makes this the studio’s most prosaic work yet are its tonal inconsistencies, noticeably modern sense of humor, and a conventional resolution to the central drama.

Elmer Elevator (Jacob Tremblay) and mother Dela (Golshifteh Farahani) move to a big city when their small-town candy store forecloses in difficult economic times. Money is short, and a distant Dela spends much of her time looking for stable work in order to help open a new store. Soon, Elmer encounters a talking cat (Whoopi Goldberg), who suggests that he might travel to faraway Wild Island to kidnap the lone dragon that lives there, and use the dragon for entertainment and exhibition purposes. With help from Soda the Whale (Judy Greer) and Saiwa the Gorilla (Ian McShane), Elmer travels to Wild Island and tracks down the dragon. The situation on Wild Island is more perilous than first impressions suggest, as Elmer befriends the young and immature dragon, Boris (Gaten Matarazzo) in order to address the situation.

All the animals on Wild Island are anything but nightmare-inducing, so younger viewers will probably be remarking how cute or cool the primates (Chris O’Dowd and Jackie Earle Haley), the rhino (Dianne Wiest), the crocodile (Alan Cumming), and the tigers (Leighton Meester and Spence Moore II) appear.

We do not see much of Dela after the opening minutes of the film, but her and Elmer’s character designs are a development from what viewers saw in The Breadwinner as opposed to Cartoon Saloon’s Irish folklore triptych. The oval faces and oftentimes half crescent/quasi-crescent eyes of the two human characters (and, strangely enough, Boris) in My Father’s Dragon are not quite enough to evoke responses that seem emotional enough for the moment. Acting teachers will say – and this is true for animated characters as well – that emotion typically precipitates an action (not the inverse of this). The degree of that action is up to the actor or, in this case, the animator. Too often, the human and the animal characters – in moments of distress, peril, and relief – are too still when expressing themselves. Frowns, tears, and anguished shouting convey only so much; through bodily movement and facial expressions do films, animated or otherwise, provoke an emotional response from a viewer. Twomey’s animators closely replicate Boris from how he appeared in Gannett’s book. But in that replication, they produce an inelastic character design that lends humor and a sense of fun, but largely incapable of handling pathos – which invariably harms the film’s closing act.

Gannett’s My Father’s Dragon lies somewhere between a picture book for the youngest children and a chapter book for students in the middle of primary school. At just over eighty pages, it is an abbreviated plot that sees Elmer encounter the dragon only in the final ten pages. The episodic nature of Gannett’s book makes the book difficult to adapt for screenwriter Meg LeFauve (2015’s Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur). LeFauve elects to understandably introduce Boris much earlier in the narrative and to introduce a catastrophic crisis to Wild Island that frames most of Elmer’s time there. Without spoiling much, such a calamity is nowhere to be found in Gannett’s original work, and one detects the influence of the interchangeable, humanity-threatening stakes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Was this sense of world-ending danger necessary? If one is targeting the audience that would also read My Father’s Dragon, the film’s climax is much too intense for them. Gannett’s book is defined by episodic, child-friendly peril from the animals (i.e., hungry carnivores that have peculiar quirks and can be reasoned with) and not existential stakes. Converting My Father’s Dragon away from an episodic narrative might be the primary narrative concern for most, but the counter to this is that LeFauve’s adapted screenplay dispenses with Gannett’s gentle wit that can delight those of any age.

Thus, Nora Twomey’s My Father’s Dragon can be a clamorous work that shows none of the patience – for its characters and viewers – of any of Cartoon Saloon’s previous work. Despite some impressive backgrounds (the most polished ever seen in the studio’s work) and wonderful color palette, no amount of visual mastery can cover up a screenplay that is trying too much to draw out laughs from Boris’ emotional immaturity. This writing tactic – in which modern screenwriters attempt to placate supposedly gratification-hungry viewers with one garrulous punchline-spewing character – is something I associate with the major American animation studios.

Another characteristic of My Father’s Dragon that seems more characteristic to its mainstream American peers is the presence of an all-star voice cast that does little to no modification of their typical vocal inflections while recording for the film. It is distracting to hear Whoopi Goldberg, Dianne Wiest, Rita Moreno (as the Elevators’ landlord), and Matarazzo (who essentially plays a character not too far removed from his character of Dustin in Stranger Things) acquit themselves in this manner. Too little thought has gone into how can they best voice their characters, given their characters’ appearances and the situations of the moment. Are these developments – the hyperactive and comedy-seeking writing, merely adequate voice acting, and declarations about courage and the Power of Friendship – indicative of Netflix’s influence over Cartoon Saloon’s approach to this adaptation of My Father’s Dragon? Or is it a sign of things to come for the Irish studio?

Whatever the case, this is a disappointing fifth effort from Cartoon Saloon over the last thirteen years. Given the standards of their previous work, the studio deserves mercy from further barbs from yours truly. The missteps seen in My Father’s Dragon pale in comparison to some of the work that the likes of Disney, DreamWorks, and especially Illumination have offered in recent years, The tenor of Cartoon Saloon’s upcoming work appears, at least for the new future, to be similar to that seen in My Father’s Dragon. Up next for the studio is a feature film treatment for their children’s television series Puffin Rock (on Netflix in the U.S.) and Louise Bagnall’s directorial feature debut in Julián (adapted from the picture book Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love; Bagnall previously directed the Academy Award-nominated short film Late Afternoon for Cartoon Saloon).

As for Nora Twomey – one of the co-founders of Cartoon Saloon alongside Tomm Moore and Paul Young – she remains a figure in animated cinema to keep an eye out for. The co-director for The Secret of Kells (2009) and sole director on The Breadwinner has shown her ability to guide projects along with emotionally and thematically nuanced narratives and stunning visual splendor. And though My Father’s Dragon represents the first miscue on the former element, Cartoon Saloon’s animation remains a visual balm in an industry that, at least among those that financially dominate animated filmmaking, is as far away from hand-drawn work as it ever has been.

"FIRE IN PENITENTIARY," Weekly British Whig. October 23, 1913. Page 3. --- DID $15,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE SATURDAY EVENING. ---- Blaze Started in the Drying Room of the Laundry, and Spread to the Prisoners' Changing Room City Fire Brigade Called. ---- On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the drying-room of the Portsmouth penitentiary, and did damage to the extent of about $15,000. It is thought that the fire started in the north-west corner of the room. It spread up the elevator shait to the changing-room, which is situated on the second floor. After completely gutting that floor, the blaze made its way to the ceiling and roof above, and ruined them.

The changing-room is the place where the convicts go once a week to get clean clothing and to leave the soiled garments so as to have them sent to the laundry. At the time of the fire there was a considerable quantity of clothing, blankets and boots stored away, and all these things were completely destroyed.

At 7.08 o'clock the city fire department received a telephone message from the hospital at the prison, asking the chief to send his men and apparatus to the fire. It was only a minute before Chief Armstrong and seven men were on their way to the prison with a hook and ladder truck, a hose cart and a steamer. Upon arrival at the institution the guards were waiting at the gates so as to help the brigade into the yard.

By this time the guards and keepers had organized themselves into a fire brigade and were fighting the blaze with six streams of water. The local fire fighters attached the seventh line of hose and did excellent work.

Every ladder on the truck was used and by this means excellent work was accomplished. The big prison is equipped with 2,000 feet of hose, but there are not nearly enough ladders to fight a big blaze.

The fire fighters were greatly handicapped on account of being unable to get the hose through the bars on the windows. The distance between the bars is about one-half inch too narrow to allow the coupling to pass through.

All the guards at the prison are deserving of great credit for the work they did. On one occasion the men organized themselves into a small brigade and carried a line of hose to the top of the east end of the burning building. On several occasions they stood their ground when nearly drowned by water and suffocated by the dense smoke.

It was indeed a grand sight when the cupola of the building burned away and fell into the yard. The local fire brigade had the hose in the windows on the west and south sides of the building, while all ladders were leading to the roof. At one time it was feared that the fire had spread into the attic of the tailor shop. Chief Armstrong crawled up on the building and chopped a hole through the roof and Fireman Cockade crawled into the hole, but found that it was only smoke from the other fire which was emerging.

Five of the local fire fighters returned to the station on Sunday morning at two o'clock, while Firemen Murray and Cockcade stayed until 8.30 o'clock Sunday morning. When the brigade received the call Chief Armstrong brought the apparatus up from the lower station and left it at No. 2 station, in charge of Assistant Chief Elmer.

None of the convicts were in the slightest danger, as the place where the fire occurred in a long distance from the cells.

Elmer’s Glue Weed Strain: An Overview of Side Effects

The world of cannabis strains is vast and varied, with each strain having its own unique flavor profile, effects, and potential side effects. One such strain that has gained significant attention in the cannabis community is the Elmer’s Glue weed strain. Not to be confused with the commonly known adhesive, this strain has its roots in the potent and popular lineage of strains such as Gorilla Glue and Sister Glue. But like all strains, Elmer's Glue isn't without its potential side effects. In this piece, we'll dive into the potential side effects associated with the Elmer’s Glue weed strain.

1. Euphoria and Psychoactive Effects: Like many cannabis strains, Elmer's Glue is renowned for its powerful psychoactive effects. Users have reported feeling an overwhelming sense of euphoria shortly after consumption. This elevated mood is often accompanied by a sense of relaxation and calm. However, this euphoric sensation can be overwhelming for some, leading to feelings of paranoia and anxiety, especially in those who are new to cannabis or are particularly sensitive.

2. Dry Mouth and Eyes: Commonly referred to as 'cottonmouth', dry mouth is one of the most universally experienced side effects of cannabis consumption, and Elmer's Glue is no exception. Accompanying this is the sensation of dry, itchy eyes. Both these effects, while not harmful, can be discomforting. It's always a good idea to stay hydrated and have some eye drops on hand if you're partaking in this strain.

3. Dizziness: Some users have reported dizziness after consuming Elmer’s Glue, particularly in larger doses. This sensation might be accompanied by a feeling of lightheadedness, which can lead to a loss of balance or even fainting in extreme cases.

4. Paranoia and Anxiety: The potent psychoactive effects of Elmer's Glue, while enjoyable for many, can lead to feelings of paranoia and heightened anxiety in some individuals. This is particularly true for those predisposed to anxiety disorders or those unfamiliar with the strain's intense effects.

5. Memory Impairment: Short-term memory lapses or feelings of forgetfulness are common side effects of many cannabis strains, and Elmer's Glue is no different. Overconsumption can make it challenging to focus or recall recent events, making tasks that require concentration more difficult.

6. Altered Perception of Time: A distortion in the perception of time, often feeling like it's moving slower, is another potential side effect. While this temporal distortion can be an enjoyable experience for some, it can be disorienting for others, making them feel detached from reality.

7. Increased Heart Rate: Upon consumption, some users might experience a sudden increase in heart rate. This rapid heartbeat can be alarming, especially for individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.

8. Impaired Coordination: Elmer’s Glue, given its potency, can affect motor skills. This might manifest as a lack of coordination or clumsiness. It's crucial, therefore, to avoid activities that require precision or could be dangerous, like driving, while under the influence.

9. Insomnia or Drowsiness: The strain can cause a variety of sleep-related side effects. While some users report feeling drowsy or sedated, making it easier for them to fall asleep, others experience heightened alertness or even insomnia, making sleep difficult.

10. Munchies: A sudden increase in appetite, colloquially known as the 'munchies', is a well-known side effect of cannabis. Elmer's Glue users may find themselves craving snacks or feeling unusually hungry after consumption.

Mitigation and Conclusion: It's important to note that the intensity and occurrence of these side effects can vary from individual to individual, based on factors such as tolerance, dosage, and personal physiology. To mitigate potential negative effects, it's advisable to start with a low dose and gradually increase as you become familiar with the strain's effects. Always consume in a comfortable and safe environment, preferably with trusted friends or acquaintances.

In conclusion, while Elmer’s Glue weed strain offers a unique and potent experience, awareness of its potential side effects is essential. Like with all strains, responsible consumption is the key to ensuring a positive and enjoyable experience.
