Big Wolf On Campus was such a great show! :D
Oh my Gosh, you watched it? People i know look at me like i have 5 heads when i bring up things i used to watch.
I think I used to watch a lot of the shows airing on that channel back in the day.
The kind of annoying show Angela Anaconda I believe was on that one, and like strange days at blake holesey high? which i think was canadian (rumored to have daniel clarks brother in it) and I saw a familiar face from one of those RFR or degrassi era crossover kinda kids on (or from lifetime movies), also a music driven talent kind of show with fergie's band wild orchid (? for clarity) which was pre-black eyed peas on most saturday mornings. i recall that show being ultra corny tbh, cringier than star search from the 90s, and lastly i remember some show about s club (a band at the time) where they'd sing and have random adventures in miami, florida for some reason and they're like European with thick euro accents but high energy singing and such, i loved them and was obsessed naturally, and still bop to them if they come on spotify.
At night like on my dinky vhs tapes, i would tune in or record movies like Casper meets Wendy (with a young Hilary Duff) or whatever they had on, during their October blocks of Halloweenish shows and films which they still do when they changed over to ABC family & now more recently Freeform.
Aw so nostalgic right now, such good times in the late 90's and early 2000's. Thanks for messaging me, I don't feel so alone in remembering that show.💌😊
#asks#stardustviolet#💌 tysm for the ask#i guess i wanna say with all this remember: i may love a lot shows made by canadians and stuff but i live in the USA lol#and like idk if these shows were made for us audien or were like brought to use thru merger like with the-n/teennick or viacom/abc idk tbh!#no clue tbh but yeah i'm american so i saw this stuff on cable#2000s#shows#tv#abc family#fox family#tadio disney used to play a lot of the music from these shows#especially sclub#i guess they had a deal with their record compay#idk if there were commercials#i no longer have those tape recordings#if i still do i have no vhs or why to convert#none of these shows are steaming haha#but like its just funny that some people share similar memories!#my friends and i used to make up dances for sclub songs when it was on#like we had legit crushes on the dudes#cringe#90s/00s era fox/abc family/freeform was so different/low budget than it is now#still plays 700 club at night and then i switch channels lmao idk don't wanna know! why do they do that?#might wanna rewatch the fosters soon though my bf and i were talking about it yesterday

He's a used car salesman. He has a heart of gold. He can't parallel park. He has two gay witch italian dads. He chops the wood. He has a magical talking cat mom. He's an assassin. He isn't an assassin. He's actually the cat from earlier. He's trans (female cat to male human). He's been shot through the heart. He was in Dewar. He was not in the war. He was in Dewar. He's on his last of nine lives. He just had a marble shoved down his throat. He's even bisexual. I didn't say his name, but he popped into your head, didn't he?

forgive me if this is equivalent to a "cornplate tweet" but i just noticed that drv3's setting as a school in poor condition acts as a symbol of franchises dragging on so long for the sake of commercialization to the point it becomes a shell of its former self. the setting being a school that is not only old enough for it to become broken and fragile but also for nature to take over it, plus despite what makes the building recognizable as a school fading away, it continues being used as a school? the school is representative of franchises in general but especially the in-game danganronpa series, with the nature burying the building by time hinting at the franchise's (unnecessary) longevity and it becoming history, while the fragility of the building represents how a franchise's identity becomes fragile itself due to the charm and depth it was once defined by fading away due to the series being dragged out.... i love the drv3's setting even more now
#this was probably the most obvious thing ever but i admit that i dont focus on That commentary as much as the commentary on#fiction and lies & truth. so my eyes were opened too late....#ive always loved the drv3's setting. its so unique to me and its pleasant to look at. but also its clever!!!!!!!!!!!!#ive always thought it was clever in the “oh the building is old like danganronpa”#but i never really considered more to it until recently! Maybe im looking into it too much idk#drv3#danganronpa v3#sunny's thoughts#sunny.txt#dr thoughts#danganronpa#edit: i think using “commercialization” was maybe the wrong word? but at least people are getting what i mean!

its always wild to me when I go into the mouthwashing tag and someone is like "the game isn't about [x] its about [y]" because like...it can be about multiple things. Like you do understand that right? Like well written pieces of media are often exploring and can be about multiple themes??
#idk I've now seen like two or three posts about how mouthwashing isn't about capitalism#and like....it is#it is about capitalism and rape/rape culture and about consequences like all those can be and are true#you can't take any one piece out because then you're missing a huge chunk of the story and what its trying to say#like you can't say 'the story isn't about capitalism' when a good chunk of the early game is about capitalism#or did we think the anticommunist commercials were just there for show?#and like i'd argue that the hyper capitalist society of mouthwashing is part of what leads to anya's rape#and why jimmy doesn't take responsibility#and that the game wants us to think about all those things together and how they interplay#but like....even if you don't agree/want to focus on the game from a different angle#you can't just ignore/say all the other themes don't matter because they obviously do#anyway if you're at the bottom of these tags and don't know what's going on#I hope this is like the iceberg drifting by#mouthwashing#chandi things

Patrick Troughton - billed as Pat - helps the stricken French nobility (and flashes the audience) as Sir Andrew Ffoulkes, a staunch ally of the title character in The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel (ITP, 1955 - 1956)
#fave spotting#patrick troughton#the adventures of the scarlet pimpernel#doctor who#classic doctor who#two#itp#itc#1955#I've had a nice rhythm going lately with pairing a 50 min series (usually The Saint these days‚ tho not for much longer...) with a shorter#25 min one to dip into when I've less time or whatever. with The Adventurer over (adieu and farewell Gene Bradley you insane#multi talented everything) i thought I'd change it up a little and go for a much earlier itc series for a different tone. so early in fact#that they weren't even ITC yet; the company was then known as the Incorporated Television Programme Company‚ ITP for short‚ but be not#fooled; this is in every way the Lew Grade led company that would come to dominate the commercial tv world in the decades to follow#The Adventures of Robin Hood is usually identified as the first ITC production but in fact it beat this series to the screen by only#3 days and the two shows were presumably in production simultaneously. Hood went on to be the making of ITC and Lew Grade and lasted#a whopping 143 episodes over 4 years; Pimpernel made it to only 18 despite being planned as a 39 part series (standard length for these#early itc shows). exactly what went wrong i dont know; Goring was heavily involved in production as well as starring and maybe that played#a part‚ or maybe the popular success of Hood meant this show was no longer affordable. idk im just speculating but from#what I've seen it's fairly fun. starting on ITV just a week after the network commenced transmission‚ it's safe to say this didn't capture#the public imagination like Hood did and it does seem to have been rather forgotten about. Pat is actually a series regular and these#pics come from a few different eps among the first few. he isn't in the very first (nor is the Pimpernel's other faithful companion#played by Anthony Newlands) and i do wonder if that was a pilot (it has Robert Shaw as the Pimpernel's right hand and to my#knowledge he doesn't reappear; he'd make up for it with a starring role in one of ITC's next series‚ The Buccaneers#but yes he's here and he's fantastic and gets to be dashing and heroic (tho never moreso than Goring of course). he's also the one of the#three heroes who best suits the powdered hair look (Newlands looks quite unfortunate). and of course i know what im doing with that#last shirtless pic.. you're welcome Pat girlies (gender neutral)#maybe I'll make another post after I've seen a few more eps but i wasn't going to commit to a Pat post for every episode im afraid

My extremely cold take is that, while the option to play a woman is very cool and the sole reason I got into Mass Effect, and while her performance is considered by many to be superior, Femshep herself is not a Strong Female Character. When people include her in various Favorite Female Characters lists and such, I have to wonder if they’re mainly talking about the character that exists in their head.
At the very least, when discussing the fleshed out female characters of the series, to dismiss the other human women, including the sole Latina, to prop up the usually white readhead Jane. It’s not a very Girl’s Girl attitude.
#Me Tag#Yes this also applies to any other protagonist whose gender can be selected#Like don’t get it twisted#I love Hawke as a character#But to say she’s a better female character than say Isabela#Is just not fair#And like yeah femshep is considered superior in the fandom#Which has its own problems because there are lots of men under represented#Most regular players seem to go with MShep if not the default#idk I was just thinking about this one gifset of that ME3 commercial#Femshep and Ashley were fighting together#But the gifset cut out every bit of Ashley#And if that don’t say it all

when was the original advertisement even made LOL jasper is still alive here
#i forgot he was in the trailer. i always assumed it was after his death LOL#definitely inbetween jasper dies at the end and dial m for jasper. but im more surprising hed be willing to help in the commercial#maybe after jasper dies at the end hed gradually start disliking the camp. little by little seeing the flaws and disliking it more#he does say “man this camp. this camp kinda sucks” its where he first sees that. but maybe doesnt fully believe it#hes rational but i do think hes a somewhat optimistic. maybe an off screen event caused him to really dislike the camp LOL#this couldnt have been before the staff ceremony because davey wouldve HATED doing it#if it were the case. during the recording hed try to look like he hated the camp as much as possible. thinking hes sabotaging them LOL#wonder why they would even record this in the middle of summer too. like sure campbell probably wanted more kids to enroll#more people = more money. but for people to see this. consider sending their kids there. getting all the paperwork done#thatd take a bit wouldnt it LOL idk what his thinking process would be. especially with kids enrolling in camps earlier in the summer

Hilarious how lots of conservatives think resistance against change is actual resistance and not just them clinging to the status quo.
#Like you ARE the status quo bitch#Idk how to explain that trying to keep the status quo is not resistance#Because people who are not chronically online don't actually look at traditional modes of living and expression#and expect you to change your personal life and the machinations of it#Even in the craziest liberal world where there's LOTS of queer people#Or any religion that's not Christianity goes mainstream#Like it's not revolutionary to say something like “actually gay people bad :) ”#Because people were thinking that (AND STILL THINKING that) not so long ago#And gay people haven't absolutely taken over everything the way straight people have culturally#Gay people are just in more movies and commercials now#And if you think straight people have never taken over#You need to know that that's because it's never called as as being specifically straight in our culture#It just gets called “marriage”#People don't feel the need to specify when it comes to straight people BECAUSE IT'S A STATUS QUO#IT'S EXPECTED#Tl;Dr seeing change to the status quo and working against that change isn't revolution/resistance#because the typical mode of life within that status quo will never actually be seen as weird and crazy#Of course I'm thinking about Elon Musk while typing this up and for some reason he thinks pumping out babies like his mass produced shit ca#Should be the norm and he thinks it's somehow comparable to that of a very normal nuclear family with a mom and dad and kids and a retrieve#Anyway I'm gonna stop this ranting diatribe because you get the idea#leftism#???#elon musk is an idiot#stream of consciousness

rewatching squid game. why on earth did everything that happened to this show happen
#why of all the shows did this one become so outstandingly popular with 6-12 year olds on roblox. imagine if elementary schoolers decided to#suddenly get into idk breaking bad instead and people were buying mike ehrmentraut costumes for their little timmy#its just so. 1 the show itself is so antiethical to the crazy commercialization that happened and 2#how did kids even get exposed to this as a concept it is so hyperviolent and adult not just in a content warning way but#in a “there are higher concept themes and awareness of media analysis required to understand the show” way#.txt

random but one thing we love about american girl dolls is that they aren't super skinny. like how most other dolls like barbie dolls have an impossible body type but ag dolls just sort of feel Normal
#hard to explain? like idk dolls for children having super 'idealized' bodies doesnt feel great#because the point of the dolls is thats what a child will sort of aspire to be or want to be#like the whole point of the main barbie line is like. a figure for girls to look up to#so that figure being incredibly skinny and having a perfect face and all that feels. bad#but ag dolls feel much more like a companion#like as a kid we did look up to those girls! even when we were slightly older than them!#but they were ultimately attainable and felt more like a really cool friend#idk just been thinking about how ag had a very positive impact on us and barbie was always very#superficial i guess#and its sort of sad looking at ag now and seeing how... commercialized it feels? like it feels like theyre barbie-fying it idk#(obvs ag isnt a perfect company and is still a business but its def our favorite doll brand)#confluence.txt

I was watching law & order svu (a good show!) and an episode of regular law & order came up afterwards and I was too lazy to turn it off and it was just. 40 minutes of pro-israel propaganda. like, actually. so blatantly that I just turned it off I'm sitting here confused wondering if I didn't hallucinate this whole thing
#what the fuck was that????#like. who thought this episode was ok. not even morally but like... commercially#who the fuck thought that was a good idea#and there was also some sprinkled in transphobia in the middle????#and it's not even like svu where shitty characters say shitty stuff and the show clearly states they don't agree with their words#it was just... glossed over#I never watched this show before and I'm genuinely baffled by how confusing the writing is#half of what was happening had little to none on-screen explanation#which is why it took me like 20 minutes to understand I wasn't getting it wrong and the episode was actually happening the way I thought#genuine one of the most bizarre cop shows I've ever watched. no wonder people say they're just copaganda#when people speak up about propaganda that's what they're talking about#I was innocent to think they were talking about shows that are favorites of mine like csi and ncis and other silly shows lol#ncis is a little pro israel cause. u know. ziva#but I don't remember them talking about actual real conflicts?? they always used fictional ones#idk I'm just rambling at this point because I can't believe I just fucking watched this in live television#and I can't believe no one else is talking about this like. what the hell was that?#rambles*

the chaotic nature of alan's breakdown in "drowning," on a multitude of screens playing in the tv studio basement while the soothing instrumental tune of "yötön yö" plays in the background, a Mood
#alan wake 2#mk plays aw2#for the fifth time#and immediately i went to the writer's room to listen to drowning in full audio for the fiftieth time#also i feel like there's again that weird sense of like...nostalgia when watching drowning#it just plays like idk those old tv commercials for games that were live action while the game didn't have any FMV to it??#if that makes sense?#i said i was gonna be insufferable about aw this weekend and i meant it lmao

Did anyone else find the amount of pop culture/branding references in tmntmm jarring?
#it felt like the 'hello fellow kids' meme idk#there were references to: avengers endgame ~ attack on titan ~ tiktok ~ forza horizon ~ ratatouille ~ godzilla ~ mark ruffalo#and mike even twerked lol#*flashbacks to 2014 disaster*#it was weird to see so many commercial references and i don't even like some of those properties so it tainted the movie#why couldn't it just. not do that? it kinda felt like the screenwriters were fifteen y/o themselves and just super into consumerism#and it took away from the escapism aspect of the movie which is why people watch a dang movie about mutant turtles in the first place#that said i liked how they were actually dumb teenagers lol i feel like they were too old in many of the older releases#tmnt mm#tmnt mutant mayhem
