zero media literacy: mismag is a love letter to hp

surface level media literacy: mismag is a fuck you to hp

actual media literacy: mismag is a parody of hp that in many ways failed to accomplish what it wanted to do, in large part because of the exclusion of trans women as major voices in its creative process

Evan: K is really loving this in a big way

K: that is a fuckable cryptid

Sam: you said fuckable cryptid?

K: mm. Mm. Like--

Sam: i'm assuming that means something--

K: Mothman or Bigfoot or Loch Ness Monster when it sort of like--

Evan: not Loch Ness. Loch Ness makes the list of the fuckable ones?

K: its got that accent

McJonJon: Lock Ness Monster isn't real. I'm so sorry to tell you. That's just a weird NAMP thing. No, there's like much worse stuff everywhere else, but that one's fake. I'm sorry. Did you really mean fuckable? I was hoping that was some sort of NAMP slang.

Evan: it kind of is. Its hard to track, you know?

McJonJon: hmm

Evan: yeah

Dimension 20 Misfits and Magic: Holiday Special (2021)

In case you aren’t familiar with Dimension 20, it’s an actual play tabletop role playing game show available on Dropout. Misfits and Magic specifically uses Kids On Brooms for its gameplay, which is similar to Dungeons and Dragons with some different mechanics.

This holiday special follows the events of season 1 of the show, and I think for character reasons it make a lot more sense if you’ve seen the season, but it would still be fun if you like weird wizard holidays. Our game master (GM) is Aabriya Iyengar, and the magical misfits are Whitney Jammer (Lou Wilson), Evan Kelmp (Brennan Lee Mulligan), Sam Black (Danielle Radford), and K (Erika Ishii). Any character mentioned that is not one of the four magical misfits is played by the GM. This special takes place at Gowpenny Academy of Arcane Arts somewhere in Britain. Our magical misfits are American teenagers referred to as the “pilot program” for testing how previously non-magical people adapt to being magical.

Headmistress Philtrum tells our misfits that they can’t go home for the holiday break because their families are NAMPs (Not Activated Magical Person), and also because it is the time of year when their magic wanes the most, so it would be more dangerous for them to leave the school. Everyone is very upset, but they look forward to spending the weird wizard holiday called The Lulling together, especially since it’s Evan’s first holiday celebration ever. But when they learn what The Lulling signifies, survivalist Evan goes a little hard in preparing to fight the seemingly mythical wizard eating tadeshacourt, or tad for short, a large bear shaped monster with a deer skull for a head with antlers.

The minister of education McJonjon leads the ritual to lull the monster back to sleep for the year, and then everyone goes back to the castle, at least until Jammer finds something weird on his shoe that Evan identifies as deer velvet. I have no knowledge of when deer shed their velvet in Britain (or anywhere else for that matter), but Evan seems to insinuate that it’s out of season for normal deer this close to Christmas (December 21st). There’s also fun relationship drama between Jammer and Cleo, and Sam and Fergus, which prompts K to soothe their friends and further give Evan another panic attack.

Partly to keep their spirits up since nobody can go home for Christmas and partly to give Evan the best first holiday ever (and for a secret third reason), the misfits decide to throw a rager in the Great Hall. Being in Chimeron (Goat House!) gives them a great relationship with the kitchen. They call this party the lolling and invite everyone because none of these kids go home for breaks, which is weird.

This is a pretty niche pick as far as my holiday movies have been historically, and I do think it is hard to follow if you haven’t seen the preceding season. However, I believe that if you want to watch this, you would also like the preceding season, so you might as well just devote about 12 hours to watching all of it. Anything created by Dropout holds a very special place in my heart, so I’m going to give this 4 stars. I might not watch it again, but I definitely want to play Kids On Brooms and now I have to reread Harry Potter so… wins all around.

"That would be such an honor."

As they left the theater arm in arm, Susannah elaborated a little further on her feelings regarding the idea, saying, "I don't see people wearing my work very often, but when I do, when I see them wearing my hats and bonnets out in town...there's nothing like it. It gives me a-a sorta...a feeling of pride, I guess you'd say. A job well done."

Of course, no one knew the name of the maker of the hat; all who made them were anonymous. Those who shopped and bought from the haberdashery usually just cheerfully told their friends, "Oh, I got it from Mickey's!" giving no thought to the people who really made them. But even so, when Susannah saw her work out in the park, people donning her top hats and sunhats and the like, and to see others compliment her handiwork without knowing it was hers...it put a little smile on her face.

"I know they don't know it's mine, but...it still feels good, knowing they're so happy with it," she smiled softly, cheeks pink as exited back out onto the street. "So to think about people seeing my work on a stage night after night and loving it, admiring it, actually knowing that it's mine? It...it would be nothing short of an honor to me."

Spoilers (kinda) for the MisMag Holiday special

Guys I'm so serious rn What did Evan get K and Jammer for the holidays bc we got pretty much Everyone else's gifts:

to Evan: a phone with a screen (from Sam), a large backpack (from K), Fornite coin (from Jammer)

to Sam: a vanity mirror, ring light, and streaming PC (from Evan), Fortnite coin (from Jammer), and I can't remember if K got her anything??

to Jammer: a teleportation sigil (from Khanh), a formal jersey and shorts (either from K or Sam?), knee high knitted Halloween socks (from K), potentially a Kwanzaa celebration later? /J (from Evan)

to K: Fornite coin (from Jammer) and j Cannot remember what else she got

What. Did. Evan. Get. Them?!?!

surely Brennan has mentioned it off handedly in an adventuring party episode for another season or smth right??

(also I Cannot figure out if Jammer/Lou came up with Fortnite coin on the spot bc he hadn't thought about gifts yet or if Lou thought that's what Jammer would do and the bit would be hilarious)

((it was))
