#factory brand

[arctic-hands]

Every time there's a food recall that spreads from one company to the next, even from generic brands that are unique to the store selling them, it makes me realize the illusion of choice under capitalism hyped up by conservatives is a bunch of bullshit.

Oh and uh, don't drink apple juice for a while. Arsenic. And it's more than just Aldi and Walmart

The problem with having the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel portray Willy Wonka as some kind of visionary underdog who the Big Mean chocolatiers are trying to suppress is that… he has magical powers.

Like, there is literally no universe where it matters that this guy can't get a shop, or isn't part of the Chocolate Makers Guild, or is targeted by the Chocolate Cartel, because he has magical powers.

It doesn't matter what the other chocolate makers do to try and smear his reputation or ruin his business, because ultimately their biggest innovation is a chocolate bar that melts in your mouth but not in your hand, and the original Roald Dahl sequel book tells us that Wonka somehow has access to the world where people's souls go before they are born (à la the Pixar film) and has invented a cure for old age.

Even if they did somehow manage to stop him selling ‘candy’, he could easily just rebrand his business and reopen as ‘Wonka's Literal Actual Magic’, and what the hell are they going to do to him then?

The only thing that could touch him in the original film was people bribing his employees to sell them his secret recipes, and he solved that problem almost immediately by firing his entire staff and replacing them with magic singing elves who are happy to be paid in chocolate. This isn't a guy whose problems are normal problems.

This is like if somebody made a new Lord of the Rings prequel that showed Young Sauron being picked on by the Hobbit Craftsmen's Guild because of his innovative ahead-of-their-time jewellery designs. Like it just doesn't work, because while the pieces are technically there for the standard Underdog Shows Them All story template, ultimately the two sides are playing very different ball games here.

Rebel Admirals Rex & Kalani from an au where the clone and droid rebellions were a bit more successful

Rex's fleet (rebel fleet Remembrance) - the whole 'ahsoka's not actually a jedi' thing worked and most of the 332nd got dechipped. (maul still escaped, but they managed to patch up the maul-damage before he got to the hyperdrive, so the Tribunal is mostly okay). the extra resources & manpower allowed the clone rebellion to operate on a much larger scale, and they eventually allied with pantora as a whole with the backing of senator chuchi. cody and later wolffe brought their imperial fleets to join the rebellion about a year later (after the chips started wearing off).

the fleet (one venator (the Tribunal), four star destroyers, associated clones, gunships, fighters, and tanks, plus a handful of stolen imperial walkers and shuttles) formally joined the rebel alliance around 10bby.

(rex got put in charge of the fleet because he's the least traumatized out of all the surviving officers. cody ran off to live with obi wan on tattooine.)

Kalani's fleet (rebel fleet Independence) - something happened and he and kraken managed to steal a chunk of dooku's ships (and later a good chunk of whatever was left of grievous' fleet on utapau) after his death. they essentially got lost in the chaos of o66, since the rest of the separatists thought they were deactivated after the shutdown order, and escaped with essentially a full separatist fleet. since they were active instead of stuck on agamar, kalani noticed that the leader of the empire happened to be the republic's supreme chancellor, and decided the empire was the new target of the CIS army. he later encountered the clone rebellion and decided that since the clones had effectively deserted the republic and were now fighting the empire, they were therefore allies.

the fleet (one dreadnought, three cruisers, one stolen imperial carrier, associated droids, fighters, transports, and tanks) formally allied with the rebel alliance around 10bby, with the backing of serenno and raxus secundus.

I’m surprised there’s no AU based on this since…well, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has some similarities.

William Afton

Wears purple

Runs a corporation that is catered to children

Killed kids and mangled their bodies in furry robot suits.

Fucker will not die no matter what (supernatural)

Has been simped after in their community.

Willy Wonka

Wears purple (okay, so technically the Johnny Depp one didn’t but he did have purple accents)

Runs a corporation that is also catered to children.

Severely fucked up children to the point where they have supernaturally damaging bodily harm that would probably kill them or they would have been killed in the fucking factory.

Is implied by some to be supernatural due to his outrageous factory.

Has been simped after in their community.

My conclusion: Why isn’t there an Au of Charlie and the chocolate factory where it’s basically Fnaf and Willy Wonka is just William Afton but, a much smarter business man with a multi million dollar corporation.

if i could put one fuck in phineas and ferb it would be in dude we're getting the band together when sherman starts quoting the documentary about why they broke up i would have a slightly longer pause on danny and bobby and then have danny say "what the fuck are you talking about???"

some people being so brainwashed by the concept of fast fashion and franchising that they don't understand that not everything can be restocked???? especially in boutiques???? like the sell season is basically september-november for autumn winter and march-may for spring/summer so imagine walking in on august 1st, complaining that I don't have anything that fits your "expensive taste" and complaining that I'm not restocking when????? I already have items for this autumn in the backrooms????? like bestie sales started at the beginning of july and you're waking up NOW thinking about what you need?

Me: "Oh nice, crocheting is a hobby I can do anywhere, even when I'm lying in bed and not feeling well."

Me: *gets congested when working with most yarn; has straight-up allergic respiratory reactions to some yarns (acrylic and cotton, not wool); has to change sheets after crocheting in bed with a yarn I'm apparently allergic to because I keep sneezing*

Me: "...What the fuck"

That most-hated foods poll just reminded me that there was a spam factory right next to my primary school growing up, and every day walking past it I could smell the vaguely unsettling stench of slightly-warm meat, which is the reason I have never and will never try spam. Ever.
