X-Month: Mutancy on the Bouncy (darkwing Duck) (Comission for WeirdKev27)

Hello all you happy muties and welcome back to X-Month, last year known as mutant month!

A brief recap: Last year being an x-men fan with a rather.. chill attitude toward the strangest heroes of all

I did a theme month covering them: I covered their first animated apperance as the defenders of peace as hawkeye joind the x-men to fight namor and dr doom because the fantastic four's rights were busy that day, reviewed the all time franchise defining classic God Loves, Man Kills as the x-men fougth releigion and Xavier was crucified in a hallucination by demonic x-men on the top of the world trade center

I looked at Rogue's poorly drawn first apperance where Carol Danvers gave a hearty fuck you to her former friends for leaving her with a space rapist, and capped it all off iwth the first hellfire gala.

SO what do we have for round 2? Well how about mutant rubber chickens, the gloriously gay origin of Nightcrawler we at long last finally got, the debut of one of the greatest x-men spinoffs ever, one of the best x-men joining the x-men... and almost causing every last one of them to quit, one of the best x-men adaptations ever that debuted just this year and capping off with the comic that started the krakoan age with 6 words "While you slept, the world changed". The schedule's as follows.

9/8:

X-Men Origins Blue X-Men 97 Uncanny X-Men #171: Rogue

9/15: Transformers Cyberverse: Megatron IS MY hero Marvel Graphic Novel #4: The New Mutants

9/22: Transformers One Sam and Max: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak House of X/Powers of X

So to kick us off, and for what alll you duck fans have been waiting for, we're looking at an episode of Darkwing Duck, Mutancy on the Bouncy.

Mutancy on the Bouncy comes from the shows third and final season, called season 2 on Disney+ if your curious to check the episode out as Darkwing Duck's episode order is a nightmare I cannot escape. It came out one month after x-men the animated series, but is more a parody of the concept of mutants and how many there are than the actual x-men. It's only real satire is "There sure are a lot of mutants". And I love them all. except you Havok. You go sit in your corner.

So instead of a direct parody we get a bunch of mutants all themed after practical jokes (gluing someone to something, banana (For banana peel), a literal rubber chicken and a woman who can make you sneeze for sneezing powder), fighting a stone pig crime boss while Darkwing is a racist, narcist moron repeatedly assaulting an innocent person. Yes really.. see what I mean under the cut!

We open with a three way brawl between Darkwing Duck and two newcomers; Rubber Chicken , exactly what he sounds like and Cementhead... whose not a giant head made of cement but a pig made of cement. GOsalyn is on the scene reporting having become an ace reporter and narrates the episode> It's a fun device and gosalyn as an ace reporter fits; She's nozy, she's already butting into darkwings business and she's entertaning.

She dosen't have much integrity, traumtizing herb and binky muddlefoot, the next door neighbors to get sensatonalist photos but she wants a big story.. and to keep getting out of gym.

Around this time Darkwing is dealing with a new mutant criminal, Cementhead. And yup they use mutants. Granted the mutants here aren't due to an x gene but due to being downwind of some sort of plant having parents etc. Which itself.. is clever. Early X-men applied it was atomic radiation what caused it or caused the x-gene to devleop and it's still implied by some like charles xavier his parents working in radiation is why it manifested. So while i'm not sure it's intentional it fits. It also reminds me of a great joke Christopher Preist would do a few years after this episode during his black panther run, having Everett Ross, when encountering the heroes for higher lazily narrate they just fell into a radioactive vat of cream of wheat.

Darkwing finds clues that point to another mutant rubber chicken.. and I wasn't kidding: Darkwing takes 5 seconds to assume he's worknig for cementhead because "Those mutants always hang out together"

Yeah Darkwing is not likeable.. at all in this episode. He looks at the obvious frameup and despite Rubber Chicken (Who in a great gag is over at the snack bar) constantly TELLING him "I was framed", doing nothing ot harm him and generally trying to runa way at best.. Darkwing continues to persue him, tries to take him in despite you know, as a mutant probably not getting great treatment, and tries to beat him up. The last one highlights why, as frustrating as it is to see Darkwing be mildly racist and completely an ass this works: darkwing.. isn't remotely in the right. His shenanigans this episode have him at his most egotistical and judgemental and in the chunk of episodes i've seen the guy has a bad tendency to both be black and white in his morality and quick to judge. It's not really suprising Darkwing won't listen to obvious logic and maybe talk to the guy.. he can't even get over himself long enough to stop attacking and realize he's just hurting himself as Rubber Chicken's body means most of Darkwings tactics just get him hurt. I love RC' sline of "I' dbetter leave: If you keep giving me what' scoming ot me you'll end up in the hopstial"

Gos wants in but Darkwing, as usual, refuses which is hilaroiusly petty at this point as we're on episode 89, and for once somewhere firmly in the time stream instead of whatever got finished first. How many times does he need to learn this. It's a downside of being a status quo show: some conflicts get repeated, again. and again and agani. Like Homer and Marge' smarrige being in crisis you just get tired of it. I do love the gag of goslayn going "Launchpad beliveis me" before darkwing mentions something he belivies in, the easter bunny then the tooth fair an dhas to backpedal to not hurt the big guy.

So Gosalyn nintendoes what darkwing don't:.. actualyl asks questoins. While sh'es just as confrontational she.. actually listens to him and he gives his origin story: He was born from parents who lived downwind of a rubber plant, and thus grew up with fantastic elastic powers. Sadly as many a young mutant has experinced instead of his powers making him popular he was hated and.. well not feared luckily, more mocked so he hid his powers. Until he found out his boss swinheart was in cahoots with cementhead, and thus became Rubber Chicken to foil him. So Cementhead simply framed him. Gosalyn belivies him and supports him.

Darkwing.. is a dick about it

He refuses to belive her for.. no real reason. He assumes sh'es making it up and while Gosalyn isn't exactly TRUSTWORTHY this isn't the first time or even the 50th she's found out stuff.

Part of it is that Swineheart is actually trusted and loved by the city, a philanthropist. Which... fits a little and is part of what makes Cementhead such an intresting villian. Yes their one and the same, and that's the key: Cementhead is powerful on his own, a giant brick of cement that can bulldoze.. but as Swineheart he hides in plain sight. He's essentially Darkwing Duck's versoin of kingpin with a bit of tombstone mixed in, having the formers position as legit buisness man the public dosen't know is evil at first and the latter's stone skin.

He also easily dispatches darkwing by.. playing to his ego. He's not the first villian to do this, i'm sure, but most of darkwings foes go for the upfront approach: beat him up and hope it works this time. Part of what makes negaduck his arch enemy is attacking him at his vunerablities, trying to romance morgana in the show and tracking launchpad in the comics. Granted Negaduck shoudl've also been born as drake mallard but let's just say he had a diffrent name or thought Darkwing would use a fake name for civilian life and move on.

So rather than simply unmask and beat him senseless, he uses darkwing as a pawn offering him his own film, tv series, toyline and even a cartoon (Though the last one's going to be a lot).. if he catches Rubber Chicken. We also meet another mutant, a man who can turn into a banana. This non sequinter will be important later.

Goslalyn calls him out for being bribed so easily and transparently and goes to get proof. Because letting a little girl go into a dangerous situation isn't okay when she's trying to do a school project but it's totally fine when you don't give enough of a shit to go after her apparently.

So we get a great scene of darkwing going after poor rubber chicken who just.. stands still while Darkwing breaks things. Even for him this is a pretty sizeable new low. I love the shopekeep just.. adding up how much he owes. She's also a mutant and can stick things to people and when darkwing doubts, she literally sticks him with the bill. I did not realize the pun till now and applaud the show for doing it so subtly.

While this is going on gos goes for swineheart. She manages to get a photo

But gets caught immedietly

Cleverly she uses swineheart's own tactic against him.. asking him about himself an dfiguring she's about to die and not really getting to give his secret origin that often, he endulges.

It's also a fascinating origin espeically in an episode that's already dense with a guest character, a running gag about mutants setting stuff up for later, and gosalyn's whole reporter schtick. IT's remakeable HOW much this episdoe packs in without feeling overstuffed or too short to do it all.

So Cementhead was the sone of a famous crimelord, but his dad disowned hima nd threw him out for bein ga mutant. And honestly.. i'm shcoked HOW well this episdoe nails mutants: sure i'ts mostly an excuse to do some wacky gags and a fun running gag about there being some hiden mutant EVERYWHERE, but it stilll nails the core of x-men: That mutants are hated and feared just for existing. But where as Rubber Chicken at least had a family, Cementhead had nothing and gladly turned to crime. He became swineheart as he was tired of hiding, and this became a way to still do crime while also being a publci figure.

He plans to cement gosalyn's fate only for her to slip out and escape. Darkwing.. dosen't belivie her because.. she doctored photos earlier. This should work.. but said photos were.. herb muddlefoot with a plant on his head and binkie muddlefoot looking dazed and holding a knife. If this episode emphasiesed how much gosalyn lied, it would've worked better, making Darkwing's skepticism less douchey. But he never brings it up till now: It comes off like he dosen't trust gosalyn.. because he dosen't WANT TO and is using an easy excuse which still works in character but makes him a bigger dick than usual

So Gos goes with plan b: To me my x-men. And since they dont' have a psychic bald man with severe issues and manipulative tendencies they go to the media to call for all mutants.. after the reporter on deck reports darkwing is once again on the hook for property damage, a casual gag I just love. Naturally it dosen't go super great at first as Rubber Chicken is a nervous fellow. He's endeearing, simply wanting to do the right thing but utterly terrifeid of darkwing and of a small child, neither of which are a good look. But when pressed he does the right thing anyway. He coudl've given up hunting cementhead after the frame job and just.. disappeared.. but he dosen't. Because he wants to catch him because even if everyone fears him or wnats to lock him up.. it's the right thing. And that's what being an x-man is all about.. you may not be loved.. but you are needed to push for a better tommorow. And that's what matters

The Reporter sympathizes.. and reveals she's also a mutant and urges others to help.

So as Darkwing finds out Swinheart and Cementhead are the same person just in time to learn what the five fingers said to the face, a new team which i'm dubbing THE X-DUCKS. They are Rubber Chicken the fearful fowl with limbs of rubber! Banana BOy! Whose actually a grown ass man whose banana form has a cape for some reason! Glue Gal, the girl with the power to stick to you like glue and make it hard to find a catchphrase not lind with innuendo for her and Sneezemaster, who will give you the sniffles.

Together they.. easily get beaten. Yeah hilariously the lack of experince, team cordination or any time in the field apart from Rubber Chicken just.. causes them all to be irrelvant and crash into each other leaving only rubber chicken. It works way better than it has any right to: all this buildup.. and the payoff to all the mutants running around is them running into each other. IT's brilliant. And it's a hard joke to pull off: Deadpool 2 tried a similar thing with x-force but it didn't work as not only did they all die horribly.. but it felt so damn mean spirited. HEre nothings stopping these mutants from sticking around as a team or learning to be better, they simply weren't ready for this fight.

So it's up to darkwing who finally learns rubber chickens powers have a backlash.. and lures cementhead to attack so rubber chicken can slingshot him. With that Darkwing admits maybe mutants arne't so bad and Rubber Chicken.. hilariously lays into him, shouting about him being an egotist and a bully. He takes offence to the..f rist one.

It's a great ending to a great episode. Mutancy on the Bouncy is a lot of fun, taking the x-men concept and doing the goofies verison of it imaginable> THe team reminds me of the legion of substitue heroes from DC: heroes with pretty niche powers who fight anyway because it's the right thing. The episode nails being a mutant: the isolation, the hiding to avoid being hated and feared, how some revel in thier power and how grouping together can help you surivive. Rubber Chicken ends the episode with more confidence, friends and not hated and feared. I wish the series lived long enough to get a sequel and hope these guys pop up in the dynamite comics as it dosen't seem like they did in boom.. and if i'm wrong please tell me. This episode is stacked with great one offs and is one of my faviorites i've seen. I may be of coursed a little teeny bit biased towards something parodying x-men, but theyt ake the basic concept and make it their own wonderfully. Thanks for reading

I can't stop thinking about this movie, so I might as well write about it. The movie is called The Beast (2023). It's relatively new, they probably still show it in movie theatres. And I DO NOT recommend it if you're looking solely for entertanment. It's not entertaining. It's a torture to watch. I wished we had chosen something else the whole way through.

But here's the catch. I can't stop thinking about it! This story is so nothing like anything else I had ever seen. It's stuck in my mind and I keep ruminating about it. To get rid of this horrible virus, I'll explain as briefly as I can what I think about it. So, here we go.

1. On the surface, it seems like a mysterious love story across the centuries, kinda. It is presumed that we all have several lives and can even meet each other in all of them, which to me seems like a huge coincidence, but whatever. Whenever this woman, the main character, meets this guy, you know something terrible is going to happen to her. She has some kind of gut feeling about it, but nobody knows what exactly she's afraid of. One of the ideas spread all across the internet is that she's afraid of strong feelings, which is what's shown in the first part. But I would argue that it's not that at all. The second part is about him being afraid. And the third part is, well, about AI. So I think what this woman actually fears is not being able to experience strong feelings. This is what ties up all the three stories together and makes total sense! What's more, we can often hear the song Evergreen about evergreen love that probably never has a chance to mature and ripen. Tragic? No! Therapeautic. You get out of that cinema and think all the right things.

2. The second part is set in Los Angeles and this one is real spooky. The guy is a 30-year-old loser that makes dubious video content. The only thing that he seems to be obsessed with is women, and they do not return the favour so to say. It's funny how ironic life is. The woman in this part is a model who looks after some rich people's mansion. She doesn't seem to fret much about her safely, and so, when the guy becomes a real psycho, he goes to that house, and... well, becomes a killer, later a serial killer. What amazed me is how this outrageous story was fitted among the more traditionally romantic ones. As the poet said: The weight of this world is love.

3. So, the whole movie, as it seems to me, is about the importance of feelings. Do we even need those? They make us so imperfect, so miserable, so unprotected, so... human. I've been trying to stick to stoicism for years now just because it's exruciatingly painful not to. Being rational has its perks for sure, like you don't buy into some weird stuff, don't blindly believe everyone, steer away from trouble. On the other side though, you are bored out of your mind. You're just too careful with everything. In the world of AI, you would probably be a perfect human, but would it really be the world you'd like to live in? This is what the third part is about.

I'm not sure if I want to share this as I'm writing it late in the evening. I'll let it sink first. Hope you enjoyed it. Comment or write me pls, if you found any of these thoughts interesting.

Hi I think I have an idea can I please ask for a yandere daki

With a ko reader/darling

Or she's at first jealous of ko but slowly she

grows attached to her because she she is very nice and she sings for daki

whenever she is irritated and she gets very jealous whenever ko things for someone else even if it's a customer

She is an OC of mine you can find more information about her on my page here on Tumblr and you don't have to take this request if you don't want to

Ok, we have already talked about it, since Ko is, like Daki, a minor that doesn't age, I have allowed this ship. Daki will be using the name of Akanehime at the start; "Akane" from "deep red" or "dye from the rubia plant" and "Hime" from "princess" (we are told that canonly she always used hime in her oiran name). Also, I'm doing no sexual content in this one and there is an open ending.

Also I changed this things a bit since Daki will not show her feelings directly to Ko and narration, even in third person, will be guided mostly by her PoV.

Requested OC x yandere!Daki

Warnings: Implied Cannibalism, Child prostitution/trafficking (nothing explicit is done to the girls in terms of sexual content, it's no worse than in the anime/manga), Death of not-character, and Unbalanced/Unhealthy pre-relationships.

Akanehime seems... odd. That is all Ko can think once she is sold into the new household. It's clear that the girl doesn't realize what is going on or what did she get herself into, at least not fully. She gets it, really. She knows what the job is about, she knows why she is there, and she knows how the process is going. But... she is genuinely understimating, not thinking of, other things, like how much she would have to spend there, what others could do to her, what it really means to be a girl into a whorehouse. Maybe it's on purpose, maybe she just wants to stay positive, or maybe she is still a girl, no matter the number of years she had lived.

200 hundred years, she has felt the amount of years pass, but she doesn't feel any different. That is good, of course, why wouldn't it be? She is still herself. She is always herself. Ko was told to wear a simple kimono, it's a pretty one, but she hates it. It is not her style, not what she likes to wear, it's too loose in the wrong parts and too tight in other wrong parts. She tried to protest (kindly and respectfully, of course), but the second she opened her mouth the Oiran, who was watching her face sopke first, shutting her up, turning her head to the side with a frown before berating the other. "If you are going to complain about clothes we might as well keep you naked and throw you to the streets! Don't be stupid and take advantage of your pretty face if you don't want to be fed to the wolves, you damn brat!"

Ko wants to protest at her... everything. That she is not a brat, that Akanehime is not her boss, that they can't treat her like that, but in the end she decides to keep her voice down for now and wear that ugly, ugly, kimono. She doesn't even know what is wrong with her. Akanehime walks as she owned the whole city, is awful to everyone but the customers, shuts herself at daylight and dissapearing some nights, complaining over the smallest mistakes.... she is the worst.

Thankfully, or not, Ko doesn't have to be a maid to the house for that long. She managed to attrack some attention fast with her looks, but what people liked the most was her voice. Courtesans are in charge of the entertanment industry of the district, that includes more than laying in bed and open herself for men. They must be able to also serve as performers, acting, storytelling, reciting poems, dancing, playing instruments, writting letters, painting, serving wine and food. The woman, the girls, in this place, are nothing but well educated and talented. And Ko fits into the singing (of course, for now she can't perform in a private chamber, she might have that talent. But she hasn't memorised the plays. She doesn't know how to choose wine. She still lacks some discipline).

She sings with the other women, who try to teach them how to play (mostly in vain) at the same time they hide her, since she needs the experience but doesn't show the cold yet modest personality expected from a girl of her class. Still, those woman start talking between each other, praising Ko's voice, and those praises reaches the ears in the head of the household, including the best beauty.

"What does she have that she is so special? Any girl in here should have one talent at least. Her writting is still as bad as an illiterate! Her caligraphy looks as ink spills! She doesn't play any instrument without ruining the song she is singing! Stop acting as if she is more than another piece of meat in this place!" Other women and girls just look away, Ko is not that talentless as the higher ranked Oiran describes her, but for one side it's true that she still got plainty of training left to do and for the other... who is going to contradict Akanehime? That Oiran that is described as twisted as she is beautiful, who mistreats with the same hands that enamore so many powerful men.

If one has to choose one of the two courtesans to side, it will obviously be Akanehime! That is why when she calls Ko into her chambers the others don't warn her about the dangers of the high ranked Oiran, but just watch her with pity as they guide her to that place. "Did you want to talk to me, Madame Akanehime?" Tries as respectful as she knows, but... Ko was not raised between Japanese customs, so her bow is not in the correct angle, her voice is just a tad bit too loud and she is some steps too close to the Tayû. "How dare you?! Have you been raised by savages? Is this how you prove your worth to me?!" Starts berating the girl unti she gets tired. "Whatever, just show me that singing the instructors are so obssesed with." And other choive Ko, who is very frustrated at having to keep quiet as she was scolded without any explanation, has? So Ko sings with her heart at her sleeve, mostly for herself, trying to ignore the other courtesan is also there and listening, just wanting to pretend she has a time for herself. And it's beautiful.

"Get out." Is the first thing Ko hears once she finished the song, the Tayû glaring dagger at her. "Excus-" she gets once again interrupted. "I said GET OUT!" And Ko does, still not understanding the other. After that, Akanehime forbid the other women to train her in her singing, to not let her sing at public, and that she would personally supervise said training in private. Everyone pities even more the new girl, even Ko pitied herself, but styed strong against the odds. Thankfully... Akanehime started to be less cruel towards her. Even more strange as she wasn't teaching her anything.

She didn't correct her or guide her, didn't force to memorize those sappy songs about poems of nature that compare women to flowers, let her to just not hold the shamisen, doesn't demand more volume or different tones. For some time Ko even suspected that Akanehime didn't know how to sing and that is ehy she was so angry at her singing.... she was proved wrong once she mamaged to spy her when she was playing for a client... so why was she letting Ko sing whatever she wanted however she wanted? Specially know that she is taking her in times that interrupt her training.

Everything is just so odd. Each night she spends less time with anyone else and more with the Tayû, there were even days she was invited the whole day on Akanehime's lockdown. The higher ranked Oiran offered tea and some pastries "You spend a lot of time entertaining me, you deserve these rewards", but could help but notice that the more experience courtesan never ate. At all. "I won't have to... not eat when I get to the hiher ranks, will I?" If she gets in the higher ranks, at this point. But Akanehime tells her that she has a particular diet, one that she can only taste at night... odd.... "There was a clinet asking for you a few days ago, seemed fixated that you stopped appearing in the background.... I will invite him over this new moon, then I will show you."

It seemed like a bad idea to accept, Ko didn't want to meet any client and as vague as the other Oiran was being... it made her nervious. But she was so curious, she wanted to understand better, hated to be left on the dark. "This is a bad idea, ne. Daki, do you know what you are doing?" Ko hears a male voice on the other side of the door, the client, she supposes. But his voice is ugly, she sounds almost sick, suddenly being too afraid to meet him. "Calm down onii-chan, I have everything under control." Wait... "onii-chan"? "Daki"?

Ko peek as she opens some inches the door as quiet as she can, and freezes when there is a male corpse on the other side, obi shashes in the room as... "Akanehime" holds herself almost naked, making Ko blush of embarrasment. But there is also the "onii-chan", a monster that looks sick and deformed as he speaks. "Don't worry, our guest is already here. And it's not like she will need to tell this to anyone else." The Oiran, Daki turns around to make eye contact with the 200 year old girl through the peak space. "She is mine, after all."

🧥 be found wearing your muse’s sweater/coat/article of clothing ➝ antiresolution

It was Wednesday, and it only meant one thing. He made it a habit to frequent a reclused underground bar in Gangnam. The theme fit perfectly with his own, entertaning a new vice for the trade of feelings and woes. Shrugging off his coat he hangs it over his seat, and him being a regular there, the bartender has his drink ready without asking. He does not hesitate to wash down the first drink, and then came another and another. He was on his fifth one, feeling the lulling of the alcohol already kicking in. The music was too loud for his liking, but it kept him away from thinking. His head unconsciously moves to the music, his body slowly swaying to the beat.

"Do you usually have this much fun? Damn, without me?"

His eyes peel open and his head comes to a halt, this remark instantly annoys him and he cannot recall in what instance of his life he has heard this tone before. Yohan cranks his head to the side and there he sat. Wenhan. Yohan can't help but take a moment to digest what he was witnessing, this man has only been seen in photos. Despite Wenhan's attempts of meeting with him, Yohan always follows up with neglect. He thinks it hurt Wenhan's pride or somehing. However, the curiosity is mutually recognized between these two men and they can say they've been waiting for a granted moment. Wenhan can't take no for an answer, at least Yohan learned that much from their texts. And this moment right here only reaffirms that. He can't tell why Wenhan was there with him. Then again, he would find him capable of doing so. Unbeknown to Yohan's knowledge, he had been in the bar the entire time. He's now a shadow amongst corridors, but that did not mean he could not have fun. The man utilized Yohan's frame to conceal his own, the dim lighting of the bar helped, and while doing so Yohan takes notice of Wenhan's cautious movements, which brings back a brief conversation with Minseo. There he is, thinking. He didn't want to think. She had briefly mentioned a gunshot, a month back.

"Aren't you not supposed to be seen? I also heard about your wound, is it healing well?"

Yohan gives him a hard pat over the shoulder, rewarding him a smile. Wenhan feels a sharp pain detonate on his side, he swiftly grabs on Yohan's wrist tightly.

"Don't make a scene. I don't have much time." He pauses briefly, taking Yohan's freshly poured whiskey and downing it in a second. The liquor burns the back of his throat and he winces briefly. Yohan's hand remained on his shoulder, and now balls his shirt into a fist.

"What the fuck do you want?"

"You and I have matters to take at hand, stop ignoring my texts. So let's meet properly next time, for a drink, stabbing someone in the chest, or maybe a spar where you fail to hit my perfect face, you choose." Yohan clenches his jaw and he won't admit to himself the reason why he hasn't destroyed this man's face yet, so there he is thinking, again. He releases him and faces front. Wenhan complies and remains silent for a moment, before he drops a location, a date and an hour. Will they meet? Wenhan grabs Yohan's hanging coat, throwing it over himself and it changes his silhoutte just like a chameleon. "Thanks for the keep sake." Is the last things he says before disappearing into the dimmed lighted bar, leaving an upset Yohan thinking.

MK — Random thoughts

Well, I just watched the MK1 story mode cutscenes, and... it's not THAT bad as I thought. It was entertaining, to say the least.

Although... it left me with several doubts due some plot holes, but still...

And don't worry. I won't say anything to not to spoil anyone... unless someone wants to talk about it (?)

The only opinion I could say is: fuck Liu Kang! Kronika should've won in MK11 and remain as Keeper of Time!

It was entertaning, that's for sure. Also, the new origins, backgrounds and developments for some characters were quite interesting. And the last battle was brutal... as it had several "wtf moments", lmao.

7/10

The 90's show was entertaning when I was a child. I felt connection with Wednesday, I also have a little brother who I bullied (messed up, I know). Maybe I was a weird child too (now just weird adult..). This new adaptation though.. I watched one episode and I felt humiliated for ever liking the charachter. No nono.. no like.

I shouldn't have watched that romantic series on Netflix, because romantic stuff like that (series, films, books) always makes me feel lonely and unloved. I hate this feeling and now I have to keep reminding myself of that it's only fiction and that love like that doesn't exist in real life. There is no match for me in this world so I better just keep on focusing other things in life. Things like art, books, animals, nature... not humans, because I'm so done with that road. It only leads to misery. I also hate the fact that I'm not able to talk with anyone about the weird deep thoughts and emotions that this series also brought up in my mind. Nothing new really, since I've been alone with these same thoughts before. Sigh... why did I watch it... well... because it was extremely entertaning. It seduced me. 🤨

I found new music, which definitely matches on my current mood:

Hymn to Hermes by La Sorciere Noire

Okay part 2 . He found me on social media again . I decided to respond to his texts few weeks ago . I thought it will be okay cause he tried it few years back to I was very uneffected so I thought it will be okay . News flash it wasn't . I consider my self to be fairly stable person . Someone who got a grip on reality but I will never deny that I feel things deeply . So we talked , I don't know what changed in my psyche this time I felt like all of my memories were rushing back . We talked for few weeks somedays we talker till 3 a.m . I realized he is going through a depressive period in his life . I wasn't sure about what . Few night after our conversation I used to stare at the ceiling for few minutes remmembering past . What could have been if we hadn't had that argument and all . I also realized nothing is going to happen with him very early on . But I still kept entertaning his late night chats.

Maybe it’s the closure you need, having those chats

Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space Retrospective Finale: What's New, Beelzebub?

Hello all you happy freelance police. This one's a tad late thanks to a wrist injury, a cold and just as I was getting back to work, a case of bronchitis.

Yeah the end and beginning of the year have been rough. But we're finally here at the end of the second chapter in Telltale's Sam and Max Trilogy, the final chapter of Beyond Time and Space.

So for this one our heroes make their inevitable visit to hell. And sadly not the fun hell with musical numbers, sexy dinosaurs, and keith david as a kitty cat. No our heroes must grapple with beauacrcy, the end of days, and a rogues gallery of old foes working soul crushing desk jobs to save the world... again.

So join me under the cut as we finish off this game with a one way ticket to hell and back.

We open with our heroes in a subway station to hell... right under their street. Yeah unsuprisingly the portal to hell was right beneath our heroes all this time, but to use the subway to hell they need to pay the ferrymoleman. Harry is back...

I mean I have a friend who IS a fan of him but for me Harry's never been that entertaning. He's not soda popper's levels of "PLEASE GOD STAB THEM IN THE EYES", but he's just not very funny.

Still we have to engage with him so we need a soul token. Getting sent to hell is pretty easy given all the horrible things we done did, we just need to get the token from Mama Bosco. Turns out she was above the store this whole time and the explosion when we went to space last time killed her. We can fix that later, but for now we need the token from her room. So we reactivate our good old friend the maimtron , giving our past selves the egg and getting the remote needed to get to hell.

ONE SUBWAY RIDE TO HELL LATER

Our heroes arrive int he river sticks. They need to talk to satan about.. stopping his shenanigans, but the problem is Hell's Receptionist.. is Jurgen. Jurgen is only mildly fond of his new job but given we you now killed him and saddled him with this new job as a result, he's not feeling helpful.

He's not the only person our heroes have killed down here though as Hugh Bliss and the Shambling Corprate PResence are also here, the former being suprisingly forgiving and the latter.. well we assume he is. Brady Culture is also here. He somehow got his hair back.

The real attraction here though, and my faviorite part of this chapter, is the sam and max wing. Yes Sam and Max have condemmed so many souls to hell they have a wing. Honestly when they get down there they'll likely be the most powerful overlords since the invention of radio, so I pitty demonkind when that day comes.

For now though the wing is stuffed.. and honestly.. it makes me go a bit easier on just how dark the comedy's been this season as it was buildlling towards something. I still think the season's a tad mean spirited.. but damn if they didn't have a punchline ready for it. Not only that our heroes fixing this mistake, if for selfish reasons, is the main goal of act one: sure we're undoing people's personal hells for attention, but it's still undoing all the harm our heroes have buit up over the season.. and doing some more because it really woudln't be sam and max if they weren't ruining lives.

The poor souls our heroes have to save are the desoto, stuck at a low speed, Santa , stuck with bratty children, and the elf from the first chapter stuck having his toys constantly rejected.. by santa. Also Santa turns out to kind of deserve to be here as he hates kids and only makes toys to avoid them. Not LIKING chidlren isn't the problem but building your whole career around avoiding them sure is fucked.

At any rate the big attractions are Bosco... who is best summed up by a joke kev made abotu this chapter

Yup Bosco is naked as hell and being watched by his mom, various supporting characters and THEM

The other is Stinky.. the PROPER stinky, whose stuck on a cooking show with his spawn stealing his credit. We find out Girl Stinky ISN'T what killed him: a climbing accident did that. She wasn't lying about being his protege or inhereting the place, a nice gag and one I knew going in, but would've seen coming: her killing him was too obvious for this series.

So we have to save all these poor souls in ways I vaugely remember: we save the de soto by giving it it's soul back, allowing it to run, then run it into the theater saving bosco in the most badass way possible.

For santa we simply gum up the works of his toy return and clear out the elves, allowing him to be free and allowing his slave labor in the other hell to also be free.

For Stinky we have to commit once last crime against humanity.. well ratmanity. Junior Two Teeth is dying.. and we have to send him to hell.

I mean we somehow got rid of his mom via time travel, I'm still not sure where he went, keep ruining his dad's life, killed him in one timeline, at this point sending him to hell is a mercy.

Especially since with all this Satan's finally pissed enough to cut a deal: Sam's soul for everyone elses. IT's a deal and Sam's now stuck in his OWN personal hell: a paper pushing nightmare where Max is replaced with the most hideous, ugly, nightmarish ghoul of all

Yes Sam is living my own personal hell. Thankfully max is on the outside and thanks to the broken wall can be swapped inside to disembowel Sam's new partner and free him

Satan isn't pleased.. but i'ts more because he's NOT the boss. Yeah in a nice reveal I again had already revealed to me ahead of time but still really slaps, Satan ISN'T the big bad of this season. The big bads of this season have been putting us through everything, pulling all the strings of the plots to lead us here and throw him out. The true ultimate evil is

Yes folks, the big bads of season 2, the masterminds behind it all, the banes of my existance... are the Soda Poppers. And it's a twist I like. Look I know my general attitude to these freaks is

That still stands. But I can't deny them being behind all this is brilliant. While Telltale claimed they did this to make the chapter darker by making "fan faviorites" into it... I call bullshit using evidence from the games themselves. The way Sam and Max are frustrated when they show up in chapter 1 and when they SURVIVIE it somehow, it's very clear they knew we hated them.. and decided to expland on that. And the idea of these dorks being the ultimate evil.. is just funny.

I do admit i'ts a bit stringier than last season: using the toys to create chaos, using the moai to crush souls, using them to gather them. It's alot harder to follow and not in the "when you think on it it makes sense" way but in the squiggly do map kind of way. Plot wise.. it's a mess

Character wise it's perfect as it's tied well into their season 1 journey: they killed brady, that gave them the bloodlust and the dakota war, instead of just them being stupid was them intetnioanlly wanting more blood and evil. I'ts a neat turn ofr the characters. As for why they want revenge on our heroes, thats simple: they beat them at embarassing idol. It's as petty as it is perfect.

So Satan is sacked and our heroes now have to cancel the apocalypse as the Soda Poppers plan to end the world. Thankfully as mad as he is at our heroes, Satan is more than willing to play ball and let them use his stuff as them winning means he becomes top devil again.

First is satan's grocery list.. which is suprisingly normal, which means we can swap it for the words Hugh Bliss is censoring and thus learn the true name of one of our demons: Dick Peacock

That's Peepers whose task is to create the anti christ.... and chooses Sybil as his target. I mean granted her standards ARE pretty low so I get it, but he uses a glamour to appear sexy while sam has to confirm his demntia hasn't kicked in... dosen't confirm we're not still in hell though. Seriously of all the people to ship with Sybil as an alternative to that granite ballsack.... they decided THIS was the better alternative. Making me think of peepers doing anything to anyone in a sexual manner. And just having had to TYPE THAT sentence

Just.. damn. Thankfully we ruin the illusion by revealing his name is dick peacock... somehow. i mean i'ts a fucking great pornstar name. Honestly we could've just revealed tha the has a 5.15 inch PENIS. It would've been faster but probably woudl've wrecked our teen rating.

For Whizzer he's trying to sell the apple of knowledge.. via some wine and talking up Girl Stinky. Old Stinky is alive again and ain't having it but to help him we'll need some suplies from boscos. Mama Bosco is also alive but is in her room as Bosco kinda.. snapped after finding out she was the one surveling him and is now having a bachelor party for abe with all the other male characters and Jurgen as the stripper.Max's oh god reaction to it is priceless. We distract them all by throwing some of the apple of knowledge juice in, making everyone shockingly sober, ruining the party and getting the tar needed to undo Stinky.

Yeah as it turned out that gooey cake we stole the rights for? THAT WAS STINKY. A form of it evolved into Girl Stinky, and sadly we have to change her back as Old Stinky misses his surrogate daughter> it's an insane reveal but dman do I love it. We change her back, they say no and the only one left is specs, the greatest threat. Thankfully Specs is only compitent by Soda Poppers standards, so a quick sound card for one of the COPS wins the fiddle duel for his soul.

Satan returns, with our heroes in tow to take his throne back but hell has frozen over... meaning it's SNOWBALL FIGHT TIME. Yeah in a weird boomerang back to the first chapter, but a ncie one, it all comes down to snowballs. Sadly their not full of pee this time nor is it as easy as Whizzer can now piss fire

And how we use that against him is clever: Using various suplies around hell: some ice cream, some choclate, our old goldfishes bowl we make a cake, as not getting the birthday song is part of why their pissy. See a tad earlier the poppers simply tried using a banishing ritual I forgot happened for a second before the climax, leading to our heroes being saved in chapter one by their future selves. So we turn that back on them, setting it up and using Whizzer's fire piss to light the cake. They get their birthday.. and banished to a small firey pit as they deserve.

The day is saved and the wedding is on.. which is somehow a good thing. It's not as fun an ending as world of max, but it works well enough and I really can't say no to a wedding episode no matter how hard i try so it stil works. The world is saved again, and the soda poppers finally, FINALLY die

So that was season 2 and before we go back into the yonder till the remaster for The Devil's Playhouse, with some brucey bonuses while we wait, let's reflect on this season. Beyond Time and Space.. is decent. The game has some truly great gags, we get some fantastic new faces like Jurgen's Monster and the time babies, and the gameplay is slightly improved.

That said while Beyond Time and Space isn't a bad game and if you liked Save the World it's well worth playing.. it does ultimately feel like a step down: the presentations upped and the hint system improved, max giving frequent hints is way easier, the puzzles still have that old obstuseness that can leave you stuck without a guide, and more importantly the writing is a lot meaner.

I'm not against dark comedy. I'm a big fan of helluva boss and hazbin hotel. Dark Comedy is fine by me... but i'm admitely very selective with it. The misery and humor have to be weighed pretty equally to work, and Beyond Time and Space often misses the mark on that with things like ruining christmas, killing pirahnas or .. everything we do to jurgen's monster feeling pretty damn cruel without being over the top enough to justify. We also have smaller stuff like future sam or the whole Sybil arc. That arc was bad and it should feel bad. It just feels a lot meaner for the sake of it, something a lot of adult skewing humor does.. but it often can backfire as seen here. You need to be cruel in just the right measure. It's why the last two chapters worked: the things we did were so over the top, from nearly unmaking bosco by accident to having an entire wing in hell to sending Timmy to hell, that it hit a lot better. This one I admit will be a prefrence thing: i;'m sure some people like Beyond Time and Spac ebetter, but for me it feels like a slight step down: not enough to derail the series or not play it again, it has a vampire rave and a LOT of all time great gags, like THEM

It's just a bit of a downer. So i'll see if I end up liking The Devil's Playhouse more or if it's another step down soon enough, but I have hope it'll end the trilogy on a high. Until then thanks for reading little buddies.
