#it's only 26 half-hour episodes

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

oh my god, i didn't know you'd listened to cabin pressure too!! what's your favourite episode (although i appreciate that it's impossible to choose)? 💖💖

"Ring out wild bells in the wild sky! And who is the wild bell ringer? Who could it possibly be?"

"See it is me, my light is on!"

"And yet nobody's home."

In other words, it's Gdańsk.

(In fact if anyone's wondered where this incorrect 911 quote comes from, it's this episode of Cabin Pressure. Other gems include "passenger derby," betting on the cheese tray, the Bassoonist Black Hand Gang, and "this is the captain with an urgent message for the flight crew: SLEEPYDOPEYHAPPYSNEEZYGRUMPYBASHFULDOC thank youuuu!")

[wheucto]

the entirety of BFDI so far is 16:10:39 (hours, minutes, seconds). assuming the average sleep time is 8 hours, then that's a little more than typical waking hours

in my happy place (rewatching the fantastic 2022 mystery/comedy/drama series the resort)

Jack Hughes, clubs, and 26 💌

warnings: cockwarming, bratty behavior from reader, correction from jack WC: 566

“Poor baby,” Jack simpers. “Can’t even think one bit, can you?”

“‘M not helpless,” you groan, pout crossing over your face. “I think that you need to do more than kiss me a bit.”

“Kissed you for a half-hour,” Jack replies, his lips curving with a slight smile. “Thought you’d lose your words by now. You are slurring a bit, baby.”

“I’m not used to having two tongues in my mouth for half an hour straight,” you say. “So excuse me if I need to readjust to having one again.”

“Sassing me too much,” Jack tells you, catching your chin with his palm. He squeezes your cheeks between his thumb and his fingers, which makes your lips purse oddly. He kisses you briefly. “Shush.”

You furrow your brow, frowning at Jack as best you can. 

Jack smirks, then leans up to kiss your forehead. He acts like he’s touch-starved all the time– while in reality, you’re almost constantly touching him. “You gonna be quiet for me?”

“No,” you say, just to be difficult.

Jack’s face falls into a glare. He presses his lips together into a disapproving line. “Hm. Guess I’ll have to give you something to keep you quiet then, really make sure it takes.”

You raise an eyebrow. “How are you going to keep me quiet?”

“Oh, baby. You know better than to doubt me. Get on your knees– on that side of the bed.” Jack gives you a slight shove in the right direction. 

It’s the side of the bed where your mirror is– the one hanging on the back of Jack’s closet door because he only had the bathroom mirror when you moved in and you were tired of not being able to see your entire outfit unless you set up your phone. 

“What, you want to fuck me in the mirror?” You challenge, but you’re still moving to fulfill Jack’s orders regardless. 

“Nah, just want to watch you while I make you gag on my cock,” Jack says, sounding unbothered. He’s shuffling his sweats and boxers off. He was shirtless already, since he was lazing around before bed. It was nice to feel his strong stomach under your hand while he kissed you silly. If you were British, his behavior would certainly constitute as snogging. 

His nonchalant words take you by surprise. You raise your eyebrows. “You’re gonna fuck my face?”

Jack shakes his head. “No, you’re gonna warm me for a bit, I think. ‘Til you deserve my cock in your pussy. I gotta rewatch the episode we missed anyway, babe. I wasn’t listening to the TV.” He shifts so that he’s sitting with his legs off the side of the bed, knees spread wide so that you can wiggle between them. He holds his cock out, fingers circling his base delicately. He’s always had such pretty fingers. “Want me to fill you up?” He asks.

“Yeah,” you say, your voice a little quieter as you make eye contact with his length. You’re easy for Jack, especially when he’s got his cock right in front of your face. You really love sucking him off because of all the choked groans and noises he makes.

“Mm, too bad,” Jack says. 

Your eyes find his face, blinking in confusion. 

“Such a brat. How about you suck my tip, baby, then I’ll let you know when I’m ready for you to take more.”

[satanickpanick]

you know what no it *is* fucked up that we have to watch the whole show (which has been condensed from tv-show length at 22-26 half-hour-to-three-quarters episodes to. This) in one day in order to give it the best chance at staying alive. it's fucked up that we can't enjoy it over time, it's fucked up that we can't just fucking relax a bit and enjoy some art. i watched all of good omens 2 this morning, and i wish i didn't feel like if i *didn't* do that, i was not only fucking up the show's chances of being renewed, but also its chances of *remaining on its platform* at all. i hate you streaming era i hate you metrics i hate you profiteering in art i hate you studio and streaming execs!! pay your fucking artists and archive their fucking work.

They had over four seasons.

Socqueline was in an arts and crafts store in Paris throughout the entire run of Miraculous. There was nothing that indicated she left Paris. Just that she was forced out of College Dupont. She was in a store that Marinette could probably walk or take a bus to so the latter could see her "best friend." This also could've been a place that Marinette hung out in to pursue her dream as a designer. This is a place that Marinette could've brought people like Alya, Mylene, Juleka, Rose, Alyx, and many others to. Yet we never got a scene like that, much less one where they got to meet Socqueline.

They had four seasons to implement this character into the show. Four seasons that all had a consistent count of 26 half-hour episodes, something that most cartoons these days WISH they had, along with some specials. They had all of that time and their only "hint" to Socqueline's existence until Season 5 was Marinette changing her hairstyle before the series.

This is not a character you just drop into a series. They had plenty of opportunities to introduce Socqueline and how important she was to Marinette. If she was this important to her, SHE SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE SHOW FROM THE START. I don't care what justifications you have. This is garbage and given that this is supposed to be for a character who was SUPER important to Marinette as a person, it's even worse. At most, beyond the fake Ladybug episode, it feels like the main purpose of her character is to shoehorn in a ridiculous incident into Chloe's list of crimes. An incident that doesn't even make sense even when she's there. For someone who's supposed to be Marinette's idol, it sure is interesting that she wasn't even a presence in the show until she cosplayed as Marinette's alter-ego in SEASON FUCKING FIVE.

And before you cry and tell me I'm being mean, this is not me "hating someone who protected Marinette with her life." This is me hating the writers shoehorning in a character that was supposedly super-important to the main character and then treating her like a fucking guest star. They made her as a narrative tool to justify Marinette's questionable behavior. That's not good and if this was actually planned from the start, that's even worse. You shouldn't be proud that they basically left a character in the backburner for four seasons (over a HUNDRED EPISODES) and then plant her in Season 5 without even giving us a hint of her existence beforehand. That is fanfic tier writing. I know this because I write it myself.

Please have better standards for your shows.

(candy vault) : alexander mcqueen shoes, nike off white and yibo’s missing mole 🤍

this fandom has lots of candies in the past years and there are ones that fall through the cracks or things that i simply wanna talk about. also for the benefit of new turtles who probably missed it & a good trip down memory lane for those who’ve been here for a while. i made other posts similar to this before and i haven’t done a good old mini compilation so here ya go. ^^

2/23/2021 WYB was in Beijing, participating in the recording of CCTV’s Lantern Festival program in the evening. The actual broadcast was 2/26/2021.

In the materials initially sent out by YBO, for the photos, you couldn’t see AM shoes. Maybe the shoot was better off focusing on his face, which I totally agree, but it was like they didn’t want to focus on it that much. We only saw the shoes when they released the BTS video where it would be tricky to crop it out.

During the actual performance he changed into a more comfortable looking Jimmy Choo shoes. He was wearing AM outfit so it made sense that the shoes should match too. This should’t really be a big deal or even a CPN, only because changing shoes is sort of normal at events like this. Maybe he was more comfortable with the Jimmy Choo, although the choreography for this performance is not that complicated like his other routines. The way I remember it, WYB usually sticks to the shoes he has on.

The CPN alarm bells started going off tho when ZZ flew from Beijing to Shanghai wearing the same style McQueen shoes. He had shooting back in 2/24 and there were some talk that he was more than a half hour late as planned on set. So going by our collective galaxy brain, they could have spent some time together during late 2/23 and some time on 2/24 which is after the CCTV shoot. WYB probably lent the shoe to him or he just got it from their shared closet lol. This is why ZZ was sort of late, because he was with WYB. The pattern of ZZ being later than usual on set when he is with WYB is something that still happens this year. I’m not implying that he is slacking off when he is with WYB but more of just adjusting his schedule so he can accommodate the love of his life. they both deserve that in between their busy schedules.

maybe this is why YBO didn’t want to highlight that on the materials they released 2/26 ; because they knew where the shoe went 😂😂😂

While we’re in the subject of shoes, let’s take it further back with their matching nike off white in 2018. It’s one CPN that is often given as an example but I haven’t discussed on here.

AAAAAHHHHH! I miss the days when they could still wear Nike shoes. Oh well….

Looking through the airport pictures of ZZ before joining the CQL group from 2016 to 2018, there are no pair of Nikes that could often be seen in pictures of him. There are 2 back in 2017. Before CQL, ZZ had quite a variety of shoes, including a few pairs from Adidas. Like WYB, it is obvious that he likes to buy Nike co-branded products, likes to grab the latest models, and even buys more for collection.

Now let’s focus first on the shoes, it’s a collab of Nike air vapormax X off white. There are two shoes of the same style but in different colors. The black model will be available at 3/30/2018 and the white will be available at 4/18/2018. We know that at the time, WYB will surely have what’s new when it comes to NIKE. It’s either it will be sent to him cause he has a relationship with the brand or he will buy it himself. He is known to always wear the latest designs released. He is also a collector, so he most likely bought the black and white version.

WYB wore the white version on 4/28 and ZZ wore the black model on 5/8 based on photos.

As for ZZ, he was recording an episode for a show and he also used this shoe for the rehearsal. It is the same show where he had to dance and the choreography was taught by WYB. We’ve seen this in the BTS and ZZ talked about it himself.

WYB was seen again with the pair during PD101 on 5/10. It’s funny cause this is the same day where XZ was filmed candidly behind the scenes and he said he hasn’t seen LWJ all day.

These two. Honestly. They only formally “met” and then started shoot 4/16 and it hasn’t even been a month but they already have a couple shoe and ZZ was out there emoting about missing LWJ/WYB? It’s a common discussion that leads to alternative timelines like DT or 2017 or it could just be that it’s one of those rare instance where you connect with someone so quickly.

I have 3 possible explanations:

1. It’s totally unrelated. They bought their pairs separately since they like the style and collab.

2. WYB gave the shoe to XZ. I am a fan of both of them giving gifts to each other. And if you are someone who believed XZ gave him a lego set even before they started filming as a gesture of goodwill then this should make more sense to you. Also WYB is known to give gifts and that includes shoes ( for example SDC 3, he gave out multiple pairs ). This reasoning is not necessarily a CPN of them being boyfriends, but more of being close enough to give each other gifts. and not just the usual one you would give to a colleague cause if WYB only has the white and XZ has the black, it’s a couple shoe. WYB low key hinting at the prospect if them being a pair and XZ accepting it.

3. They bought it together, as you would when you’re with a friend and are scrolling through shopping apps together. I think there are fake rumors of that, the two, in between takes scroll through their phones and buy each other stuff or same style clothes. Again, it doesn’t necessarily mean boyfriend behavior, but more of being close enough to do that.

A clue for that is WYB was seen with the black pair during CQL filming around early 6/2018. You can clown that he is wearing ZZ’s shoes or he did buy the 2 kinds for his own and ZZ got the black only.

Lastly is the stolen mole!!!!! ♥️

Since cpfs are obsessing over WYB’s very visible mole from the Bazaar shoot.

It’s one of my favorite fake and it basically says, The reason why WYB cares so much about ZZ’s mole under the lip, is because WYB also had one like this when he was little. The elders in the family said it’s something good and it means he will have a happy life. However the mole disappeared. Or i guess in his case it’s not as prominent and has faded instead.

While filming, GG has scenes where he didn’t have make up or it gets taken off because of the heat. WYB looks at him closely and points out his lip mole, saying that he had something like that before but it disappeared. GG then added that his mom told him that his mole appeared only after a while when he was young.

That’s when WYB said GG stole his mole. When it disappeared, the mole transferred to GG 😂😂😂

Maybe this is why WYB is so fixated with his mole that he even includes it in his drawing of XZ/WWX.

-END.

[not-wrong-just-different]

Hello Questies!!

This post has been a long time coming, and here it finally is. Willow, and more importantly, the Willow Fandom, changed my life, so, thank you all for everything!

Now Presenting…

How to Get a Girlfriend by Watching Willow 2022:

Step 1. See gif of Kit on top of Jade when she was saying goodbye like on Pinterest.

Step 2. Figure out the name of the show with the hot girls.

Step 3. Rewatch the original Willow.

Step 4. Watch Willow 2022

Step 5. Realize that the feelings about other women that you have been suppressing since you were 17 are coming back to bite you in the ass.

Step 6. Reject compulsory heterosexuality.

Step 7. Call your best friend in a panic.

Step 8. Try for weeks to try to get anyone you know to watch Willow. Fail.

Step 9. Sign back into an old tumblr account and start following people just as obsessed as you are.

Step 10. Read horny fanfic. A LOT of hot horny fanfic.

Step 11. Get your best friend so fed up with you that she invited you to an LGBTQIA+ friendly community event more than an hour away just so she doesn’t have to be the only person hearing about Willow anymore.

Step 12. Make lifelong friends!!

Step 13. After several months of trying to convince people to watch Willow literally steal the TV hookup and force people to watch it.

Step 14. Share the link to the Free Willow website in the Facebook group chat so everyone can watch more episodes.

Step 15. Get private Facebook message from girl wanting to talk about Willow.

Step 16. Make friends with said girl and get a huge crush.

Step 17. Start hanging out outside of group events.

Step 18. Be awkward.

Step 19. Continue to be awkward for several months until one half of the friend group pulls you aside, and one half pulls her aside and endure an intervention.

Step 20. Ask girl on date. (She says yes!!)

Step 21. Go on date and realize that despite the fact that there are over 12 years of university between the two of you, that you both read dozens of the same articles on Reddit and Quora about how to act on a first date, since neither of you have had one before.

Step 22. Get mutually pissed off at the lack of official peer reviewed research on how to have a healthy relationship. Decide to work on writing and publishing together. (So far, the only thing actually peer reviewed is our relationship, which only started due to peer review.)

Step 23. Make plans for more dates.

Step 24. Be happy!!!

Step 25. Realize that communication is hard and misunderstandings suck after reading more horny Willow fanfic.

Step 26. Write 5 page love letter in proper MLA Epistle format and give to girl.

Step 27. Become official girlfriends!

Step 28. Receive photos of her extensive collection of swords and blades.

Step 28b. Implode. (Like seriously. It was SO hot.)

Step 29. After being girlfriends for two months, bring up Willow again and find out that she doesn’t actually care that much about Willow?!?!?!!!! She likes it but was mostly using it as an excuse to talk to you?!?

Step 30. Consider breaking up with girl (not really!!) because she isn’t actually as obsessed with Willow as you are.

Step 31. Decide to share your gratitude with the ongoing Willow fandom for changing your life instead of worrying about making everyone in your life love it as much as you do. 😂

————

Thanks to the creators who helped me work through the emotions of steps 5 and 6 and those who helped with steps 10 and 25. @ksfreckles @geek-and-nina @ourlonelymoon @commanderbuffy @acre-of-wheat @wigster07 @vetiverriver @barmaid-anon @swashbucklery @spybrarian @isabrella @lowkeyed1 @savewillow2022 and so many others!

While I’m at it: Thanks to @ourlonelymoon for reminding me I don’t have to earn help, @acre-of-wheat for helping me remember that being on the spectrum doesn’t make me unloveable (and for reminding me that letter writing is valid communication) @commanderbuffy for proving that love isn’t just for teenagers, @wigster07 for showing second chances and that character growth requires tons of hard work @geek-and-nina for perfectly portraying the emotions and joy of falling in love, and @ksfreckles for being the first person I talked to online and for writing the story that means everything to me.

Thank you Willow Fandom and Willow Creators! I do not know where I would be today if it wasn’t for my lovely, Willow-obsessed online community. 💕 ⚔️ 😉

Stream Recap, PearlescentMoon, 6/26/24

(A terraforming stream with Pearl! I only recapped the first two and a half hours because after that she went to play Decked Out. Decked Out is awesome and very fun, but I am not the person to do recaps and analysis of it.)

Pearl 6/26

4:00 Pearl opens her stream on audio-only. She welcomes the chat and thanks subs and donos. Today’s plan is episode prep and exclusive previews! Pearl is going to the gaming district to work on the portals and podiums! There will be terraforming and detailing! A chatter is disappointed they missed Decked Out, Pearl says Decked Out just happens sometimes. A chatter asks about Replay Mod, Pearl says she uses her cam account with Replay Mod for timelapses, because otherwise the chunks unload when she leaves to get supplies and it makes the timelapse flash. Pearl’s computer can handle two Minecraft instances at once, sometimes three! A chatter jokes about raiding Tango later, Pearl scolds them playfully and says not every stream is going to be a six hour stream, and she’s got no redstone to do today.

9:00 Pearl switches to game view inside her storage room. Hbomb has been tempting Pearl with the Hardcore Decked Out challenge he has been doing lately (collect 50 tomes with no deaths). She hasn’t decided to do it, but she is tempted. The cats are also being very distracting. Dyeductions is officially open now, but nobody has played yet. Pearl is sad. She flies to the flower shop and shows off the new improvements to the game. Hard mode isn’t ready yet, but there��s a new word for the week and all the new textures for the letters are serverside. It just needs players!

14:00 Pearl heads to the gaming district, to her build-in-progress for the district portal. Pearl is not entirely happy with the build, it is functional but not excellent. It needs more trees and texturing. Chat thinks it’s a cute building. Pearl hoped to have all this done last week, but it’s nearly done now. A chatter asks about a Soup Group collab, Pearl loves collabing with Impulse and Gem but this is Season 10 and there are lots of Hermits on the server to work with! A chatter asks about games in the district, Pearl is going to build an enlarged version of her Bin-Go game from last season, with a red light/green light mechanism added on. She was thinking about a different, larger game but that’s for next season now. She has so many projects!

21:00 More talk about the new Bin-Go game. There will be challenges to help players get items faster and lessen the running. Pearl waxes her copper and quickly disclaims any suggestions that she might build Decked Out 3. That is Tango’s baby and she is nowhere near that skill level. A chatter suggests Decked In, where hermits just relax on deck chairs, Pearl thinks Keralis has that sewn up for the season. She begins chopping down trees and shaping the landscape. Chat asks what she’s enjoying about this season. She likes everyone being close together, it’s fun! She also likes learning redstone and the solarpunk theme for her base. Chat shouts out the mail system. Pearl also likes the mail, but she wants it to do something new and exciting with it.

28:50 Someone suggests gamifying the mail system to make people use it, Pearl would like people to want to use the mail without needing an extra game for it. Chat suggests the ability to mail lit TNT. Pearl thinks that’s probably not a great idea. Pretty dangerous. Someone suggests hot potato in the mail system, but Pearl knows it would just get stuck in someone’s mailbox. She’s going to brainstorm with Etho and Tango for ideas. Pearl is so low on stone that she had to pay 12 diamonds for two shulkers. It’s terrible! Chat continues to toss in more game ideas.

33:30 A chatter mentions they just watched 45 minutes of Scar in an audio feedback loop. Pearl has heard a little and is curious about that, what exactly happened there? Chat explains Scar’s audio woes from 6/23, when he left three instances of his stream running on his desktop and all looping on him for the first 45 minutes of his stream. Pearl can hardly believe that. “Oh Scar,” she says. She asks if he somehow didn’t notice. Chat explains that he knew but he didn’t know how to fix it and he couldn’t read the suggestions in chat. The tabs were hidden and he couldn’t find them for awhile. Pearl is sympathetic and also laughing. A chatter asks if Pearl is the mail lady or the flower lady, now that she has her flower crown. Pearl says she is always the mail lady, he shop does not define her! Plus she has not started advertising flower crowns yet, since hard mode on Dyeductions is not ready yet. Pearl may put up a leaderboard and make a competition, just to get people coming back. She also should probably stock the shop at some point. A chatter suggests building a postbox at the mining desert to increase mail usage, but the mailing desert, like Doc and Joe’s bases, is just really far away.

40:00 A chatter asks if Pearl will do a facecam stream soon. Pearl only uses facecam for special occasions, MCC or charity events or cat streams, but otherwise she likes to be able to relax. Facecam streams bring some pretty unpleasant chatters out of the wooodwork and Pearl prefers to avoid it. She takes another wide look at the build and decides she needs more spruce and coarse dirt for the terraforming. A chatter asks what Pearl thinks about the Minecraft movie, she cannot offer an opinion about a movie that doesn’t exist yet! She does not think she will watch a Minecraft animated series. She didn’t play Story mode, this is also not her cup of tea.

47:00 Pearl used to watch cartoons and anime, but not really very much anymore. She did watch and enjoy Arcane. She discusses subs and dubs with Chat, she prefers subs but usually watches shows while doing something else, which makes it tough to read. She talks with Chat about superhero shows. Pearl is burnt out on superhero stuff; she used to like it but was way overexposed by the huge deluge of shows and movies all at once. A chatter says they have been watching since HC2 but have never watched a stream before. Pearl welcomes them in, she is honored to be the first. A chatter asks what Pearl likes to watch in her free time; it’s pretty eclectic. A lot of times it’s just her friends’ streams, but sometimes movies from her childhood, whatever’s streaming on the streaming services, etc. She’s been watching and playing a little Stardew Valley lately. She specifically does not watch her own old videos, that is too awkward. She especially can’t watch Evo, old her making awkward content. Chat is very fond of Pearl’s old content, especially Evo.

57:00 Pearl talks a little bit about her Stardew Valley game, she played a little of it for fun just before stream. She gives a chatter advice on what to do after the community center is built. Pearl has never been interested in any of the relationships in Stardew Valley, but she’s trying to get into it in this current playthrough because if people really like you, they will give you stuff. Also there’s more game content you get access to with relationships and she wants to see more of that. So far Hailey is her highest relationship, and she is trying to win people over by giving them diamonds. She talks more about Stardew Valley strats.

1:03:00 A chatter asks Pearl who she has known the longest on Hermitcraft. She has known Gem for a very long time, longer even than she’s known Grian. ((Many Hermitcraft fans first knew of Pearl as a member of Grian’s build team before she joined Hermitcraft.)) They met before either of them were really making videos seriously, on a mutual friend’s creative server in 2016. She met Grian that same year, so they weren’t too far apart in time. In eight years, she has only seen Gem twice in person. A chatter asks how she met Grian. Pearl applied to his build crew in 2016, back when he was doing a lot of build tutorial videos and such. Grian doesn’t really have a build crew anymore, he is more likely to just ask his friends for building help when he needs it, but back then he took a chance on Pearl. A chatter is dismayed to realize that 2016 was eight years ago. Pearl says 2016 feels like a long time ago, but she graduated uni in 2017 and that doesn’t seem like so long ago! That’s the really weird part.

1:05:00 A chatter asks how Pearl met Mythical Sausage. She met him a little after Grian, she found a livestream where he was playing a modpack she was curious about. He had an open server going on to experiment with the modpack, she joined, and they’ve been friends ever since. It’s a small world! Pearl met Jimmy SolidarityGaming during Evo for the first time. They shared that server and Legacy SMP as well, but she didn’t know him that well until Empires Season One.The terraforming is going well, but Pearl needs to restock on mud bricks. She has a lot of project shulkers and has to go through them to find what she needs. A chatter says they watch Pearl’s EVO POV all the time. Pearl laughs and says there is old content of hers that she can watch, but not EVO. She was so awkward and cringy, it makes her feel bad for Grian! The chatters reminisce fondly over Pearl’s 2016 “Edgy emo” Minecraft skin. A chatter asks if Pearl’s DMs are open, she says no, she does not like to be contacted that way. A chatter remembers that Joel’s edgy skin era was Shrek; she laughs and asks “isn’t he still Shrek?”

1:09:30 A chatter says that their daughter is in the emo phase now and will definitely cringe later. Pearl agrees that’s all part of growing up. Everyone has a cringe stage and that’s okay. Pearl is pleased with the look of the portal and adds a few touches of moss for greenery. She does not love how dark the grass is in the dark oak biome. Dirt does not look good next to dark oak grass. Pearl does not like this biome. A chatter agrees and was surprised that the S9 Shopping District was in a dark oak biome. Pearl had forgotten that, but after all, there wasn’t much natural biome in the SD by the time they were done with it. A chatter asks for Minecraft drops, a month late. “NO CAPES!” yells Pearl.

1:15:30 A chatter asks about what redstone game Pearl will make in the gaming district. She tells them it will be Bin-Go, bigger, better and different than last season. She gives a little advice to the chatters who are still worried about redeeming their cape drops. A chatter asks how Pearl got so good at Minecraft building. She says she started with an oak box house just like everyone else, it’s practice and patience. Too many people watch building streams and think they can dive right into building big great stuff on their own, but you need to practice. Everyone has their own pace, everyone has the same blocks to work with.

1:22:00 Pearl runs out of jungle wood and runs home for more. She tells Chat that next week she’ll be working on the interior of her shop and that’s when she’s going to finish the audio for Dyeductions. A chatter asks about the Ore Snatcher and she admits she’s not following that storyline very much, but she’s getting big Cub vibes from the whole thing. He is, after all, the guy who built an entire museum last season based on stealing things from other Hermits. Pearl herself has had her head in Dyeduction 6-8 hours per day, she’s got no time for plotlines and not enough nerve to stick her hands into Doc’s redstone for any reason. If she had to guess, though, she’d put a stack of diamonds on Cub. Chat tries to fill Pearl in on the Ore Snatcher storyline thus far, but a lot of them are misinformed on at least one important point and there’s a lot of in-chat debate.

1:30:00 Pearl backs off for a look from far away and likes what she sees. She hears about the Glitcher sign and is rather offended that anybody would think of her when seeing a sign like that with a dollar sign replacing an S. Plus if it _were_ Pearl, there would be a lot more high-key pranking by this point. She and Chat go through the possible suspects and speculate on likely suspects. Now Pearl is curious, mostly because she wants to be right that it’s Cub. Chat agrees that Pearl is way noisier and more obvious when she’s trolling. Chat wants to know who Pearl would have for a lawyer (herself) and what she would wear to court (her cleaning lady outfit.)

1:37:00 Pearl has been using music and scented candles to relax lately, she got some good candles from Aldi. Chat hopes she has been listening to the llama song on repeat, she has not. She has been listening to some of the Eras Tour lately. Chat is pleased to know that Pearl is a Swiftie. Pearl says she appreciates a good entertainer. Pearl lies home for more dirt and coarse dirt. It’s a very dirty terraforming project. Pearl and Chat talk about various concert tours.

1:43:30 Pearl looks at the overhead shot of the portal. She needs to make decisions about color palettes for the stairs and such, but it’s hard without knowing what the road is going to look like. Nobody has started making the roads yet. Usually one person starts making roads and everyone else follows along, so Pearl could probably design the road herself if she wants to. She and chat discuss possible road blocks and how they would affect the gradient of the portal build. Chat suggests lining the road with PICKLES. Pearl likes that idea, nothing but pickles and grass! Gem would love it. Chat also has other, more helpful ideas. Pearl’s been giving the pickle thing a break lately, even though she loves nudging Gem and the easiest way is to sell out her shop. There’s nothing worse than overdoing a joke, but pickles will have their season again! Karn raids into the stream, he died 25 times on Elden Ring. Pearl scolds him playfully for spending two hours trying to brute force a boss he was underleveled for.

1:52:00 Pearl runs out of packed mud and heads home. She pauses by a house (Cleo’s?) that has had all its trapdoors flipped up and jokingly speculates on who could _possibly_ have been playing with that roof. ((Definitely Gem.)) Pearl talks about Elden Ring with Chat. A chatter thanks Pearl for getting them into Stardew Valley, Pearl is happy to take credit for that. Karn eventually comes into the room and audibly defends himself over Pearl’s mic. Pearl is unconvinced by his arguments. The phrase “Whacking and rolling” is repeated about ten fifteen twenty times. Karn uses his best Scottish accent to bid farewell to the stream and heads off. Pearl admits that she knows there is more to the game than whacking and rolling, and eventually she will play it one day.

2:00:00 Pearl color tests some stair ideas and realizes that one set of stairs is lopsided. She fixes it, which means doing a lot of retexturing along one edge of the stairs. It is 1am Pearl time. She is a bit yawnsome and decides to have a snack. This portal, she tells Chat, will not be iconic but it will be very functional. She observes that two hours of terraforming seems way longer than two hours of redstoning. When snack break is over, she gets back to work on making rocks. She and Chat talk about music and mooning, and about visiting Australia. A Chatter asks her if she’s in NSW, she says she is in Victoria. Pearl admits that while she’s doing what she needs to do in regards to building, her heart isn’t in it as much as she’d like right now. She wants to be making more games!

2:13:00 Pearl realizes she’s made a mistake in dirtying up her path with incorrect dirt. She needs a break from this build to stimulate her brain pretty soon. Chat suggests bothering Impulse, but he is gone. Pearl laments again that nobody has played Wordle this week. Chat suggests stalking Zed with a spyglass, but he is in recording mode. Besides, spyglasses are so last season. A chatter asks how many days have passed on the server so far, but Pearl doesn’t have access to that in her stats. She shows off some of her other stats from the season so far. (193k jumps! 24K mob kills, mostly endermen. 3K note blocks tuned, which confuses her until she remembers the whole fish slapping thing.) Chat wants to know about pickles, but she has only placed a modest 458 so far.

2:20:00 Pearl is running low on tuff, but not out yet. The tuff bricks are very satisfying to place. A chatter asks if she’ll watch Twitch Rivals, which for once is at a reasonable Australian hour. Pearl is not sure, 11pm is not crazy late for once, but she still might be in bed. She looks at the player list. She doesn’t know most of the players and is not sure who she would root for. She collects up some more tuff, but she is almost out even in her storage room. A chatter drops a large dono and Pearl pauses to thank them. A chatter suggests teaming up with MCC for competitive Decked Out, Pearl lets her sassy side out and suggests that would be a short MCC due to skill issues. Pearl wistfully wonders if she should just go play Decked Out. But no, she has work to do! She tells Chat about Hbomb’s hardcore challenge and what cards she has encouraged him to get or avoid.

2:32:30 Pearl runs a poll in chat on whether she should play Decked Out or keep building. The vote is fairly close, so Pearl decides it will just be a couple of runs, then come back and build. Chat is disappointed that there was no “chaotic murder spree” option, but Pearl points out that Grian is the only one available to murder and he might not appreciate too much chaotic murder. She backs out for one more look and is actually starting to like the look of the portal and path.

2:40:00 Pearl pays a visit to the Gamers Outreach Donations Monolith. She fondly reminisces about how bonkers the viewers are and how much money was raised. She would like to build out the road from the Gaming District to the monolith. Chat wants Pearl to murder Grian _so_ bad. Or rather one chatter wants Pearl to murder Grian so badly that they sent 200 dollars in donations to encourage it. Pearl appreciates the dono but she cannot be bribed. Gem can probably be bribed. Chat wants a poll on murdering Grian, but this is not up for a poll either. Joe Hills raids into the stream. He has been working on his skin for court and wants to show Pearl. Pearl is cool with this idea.

2:48:20 Joe flies down and greets Pearl. He is wearing his “Lawyer” skin, which is the Juppet skin in a skintight green jumpsuit with asymmetric sleeves and a big white @ sign on the chest. He was inspired by the lawyers from Star Trek. Pearl asks if they asymmetry is a distraction tactic. Joe explains that in the present, justice is seen as an attempt to find balance, but in the future the system recognizes the inherent futility in seeking true balance and instead seeks justice within the natural asymmetry of the universe. Or something like that. Pearl doesn’t get it either. She confirms that he still has the weird puppet mouth. Pearl asks when court is, he says it’s tomorrow and she can be in the gallery if she is not sleeping. He wishes her good luck with the stream, she wishes him good luck in court, and he heads out after a brief false start where he tries to fly without his elytra. Pearl sympathizes with that classic Hermit move.

2:50:00 Chat is a bit confused by Joe, Pearl thinks he will do well in court because he can make lots of logical and extremely weird arguments. Chat doesn’t believe he will do very well because he is Doc’s lawyer. Pearl does not actually know the details of the case, but Chat explains that Doc has basically admitted to unjustified pigslaughter a dozen times already. Pearl thinks that sounds intriguing, so if she’s awake and not doing video stuff, she might drop by and watch. She asks if there isn’t supposed to be a jury, chat explains the Bdubs system of jurisprudence. Pearl wishes Bdubs good luck.

2:54:00 Pearl drops to the standby screen to switch to Decked Out. She insists she will only go four hours today. ((Spoilers: she does not.)) Chat is very bloodlusty today and willing to back it up with money, Pearl hopes to slake their thirst for violence with Decked Out shenanigans.

((Despite her insistence that she will A: only play a few rounds of Decked Out and B: only stream for four hours, Pearl spends the next nearly-two hours playing Decked Out and does not make it back onto the Hermitcraft Season 10 server. Decked Out is very fun and probably deserves its own set of treatments from a dedicated recapper, but this particular recapper has more than enough to do just recapping Season 10.))

4:37:00 Pearl says it’s time to finish up and thanks subs and donos. She is going to do more terraforming, but it will be offstream. She’ll be back streaming on Friday! She raids into Impulse and ends her stream.

Things they better put in TLOVM in no particular order pt 3 of ?

The "Tail or No Tail"? kerfuffle from The Frigid Doom because oh my fucking god what a bunch of dumbasses lmfao.

This is still one of the funniest things they have ever done.

It's also a very cool worldbuilding scene with Draconia and the Ravenites. Having our heroes bumble their way into a serious situation they know NOTHING about and choose wrong is SO good they NEED to do it. Hollywood wishes they could write poignant yet hilarious material like this. The contrast between the grim seriousness of an enslaved people breaking free from their oppressors due to the very dragon our heroes are here to slay combined with the sheer chucklefuckery of them shrugging and picking tails for their disguise because tails are cool and maybe a class thing, eh whatever, it'll be fine, then pelting headfirst into a brick wall is so fucking funny I couldn't breathe the first time I watched it.

(Not to mention the worldbuilding aspect behind Draconia being a FLYING CITY BECAUSE THAT'S NOT RELEVANT AT ALL LATER ON!!!!!).

It also feels very real. I'll be honest, I try to be an informed citizen of the world, but sometimes you just don't know shit about a situation, and it feels like walking face first into a spiderweb when you try to engage in any meaningful way lmfao. There are only so many hours in the day, you can't know everything (despite what internet discourse would have you believe). I think the raw realness of this scene, where Vex is like... "Look, we're just dumb, we don't know anything about you and we're just here because of the dragon, so sorry" Is SUPER relatable.

C1 episode 64 (2:42:14) Is where they find out they choose poorly for those interested. There's a lot of funny stuff before that of them deciding what to do, but you know, I had to pick a time stamp! (2:29:26) If you want to watch them not know what tf is going on and guess based on half remembered conversations with their one singular Draconic friend the politics and customs of an entire civilization (or 2 civilizations rather) and fail miserably lol.

They'll obviously have to skip the "Friends of Stormwind" bit which is too bad because it adds an extra element of stupidity claiming friendship with one of the Ravenite's oppressors, but the scene is perfectly doable while removing all traces of you know who. They'll also probably have to skip finding the body, which is really too bad because it was very touching.

Maybe they could replace him with Taliesin's dragonborn paladin character from waaaaaaaaaaay back in their first few home games in Stillben that was basically the ringer character because Matt and Tal had played together for years and he needed someone who knew what they were doing to help the noobs basically from what I remember lol. (I think it was just him, Marisha and Liam who had played before if I remember correctly) I forget his name. He was pre-stream. That would be cool. (They don't have to do it, this bit's just a fun idea lol).

[im-out-of-it]

season 1, episode 7, I present part 3

23. FUCK I KEEP FORGETTING WHERE I LEAVE OFF but anyways, alec has made a fool out of himself and I’m here for it. the funniest scene in the whole episode

24. Luke took the “you’re pack leader, you don’t need to ask for help” when it comes to clary because it doesn’t mean putting clary above your wolves each and every time especially when it means downworlder lives are at stake smh

25. Jace saying this will take all day when clary is looking at pictures of her mom. bro her mom is gone????? usually I’m not on clary’s side but that was just a rude ass remark

26. “It’s not like this is the first time alec has saved your life. I doubt it’d be the last.”-Izzy. that’s the whole premise of the books and the show

27. well, simon is on his way to becoming a vampire

28. side note- I like how Camille and Magnus have similar styles. black nail polish, eye shadow, lace clothing, moods can be similar

29. “I’ve been so focused on my mom, i haven’t realized all you’ve done for me.”- clary 🙄 all jace has done? HE HAS RISKED NOTHING. Jace could go on and kill as many people and the clave still wouldn’t care. but if Alec did the same? then it’s a problem. Alec risked everything and now it’s come to bite him in the ass. Clary is one of the most selfish characters in this show. I didn’t realize all you’ve done? oh because we break clave rules for everyone? she doesn’t understand or care about rules or any of the ramifications. she only cares if she gets what she wants

30. I still don’t see why clary has the gifts “angels” gave her. the most undeserving, selfish character who uses the angel gifts to get what she wants at any cost (I see using them for actual purposes and when it’s needed but she abused the purpose for them)

31. ew the worst kiss ever 🤢 I won’t torture y’all and attach a gif. I actually care about y’all 🥹

32. side note- the straight characters can kiss for hours on end or pages worth but when it’s a gay couple, it’s like a second or half a page. not saying I need them to make out for 20 minutes or so, but it’s something I constantly see in media 🙄 straight characters always gets more screen time but at least here, Malec gets a better developed story

33. “I want this institute on high alert, clary only matters” -jace. bro you can’t just force the institute to look for her. you aren’t in charge of it and thank the devil for that

34.I just want to talk about Alec for a second. everything he’s been dealing with I’m assuming in the last few days- feelings about jace, jace not choosing him, family duty, family honor, meeting Magnus, trying to decide if he can be happy, gay, and a shadowhunter all in one, being a shadowhunter, covering up for a girl he doesn’t like, taking all the heat, watching the guy he supposedly loves (I’m not here for Alec and jace stuff) catch feelings for the girl who keeps ducking up his life, and now has to watch that guy make out with that girl who is making shit worse for his family HAS TO FUCKING HURT

35. and Izzy knowing how Alec feels 😭

36. I’m just so sad for Alec. I don’t want him with Jace but it hurts my heart to see Alec sad over this worthless dick. he deserved so many apologies and amends from season one. ALEC WENT THROUGH IT

37. Izzy stealing the spotlight one pair of heels at a time (this happens in the next episode but whatever, Izzy slays)

38. now let me go cry for Alec 🥹 ITS OK HE WILL BE HAPPY SOON

39. well Simon is dead now so clary is going to care until he’s dead. vampire Simon coming soon 🫶🏼 I mean, raphael did warn him but this can 100% be blamed on clary. and I can’t wait for Simon to go off on her about this lmao CLARY CHOSE FOR SIMON

thank y’all for attending our Alec deserved better meeting and whatever name we used before. 39 (I think) was the number today 🥲 let’s see what we get for our next one, and thank you to anyone who is here and reading the dumb shit I post, love y’all

Guy who answered the Cow & Chicken question, got one more mystery to solve. Later on CN decided to make Weasel its own half-hour show, seperate from C&C, however that only lasted 9 half-hours with 27 segments. I always wondered why you would give out so few episodes, as 13 episodes per seasons was the standard. However I found out that in total, they made 79 7-minute Weasel episodes, which is roughly 26 half-hours. What is the deal? Other shows like Sheep and Time Squad had 26 episodes as well.

I guess I'm that guy.

I.M. Weasel and Cow & Chicken were originally paired together, so pulling Weasel out results in a shorter order (much like Evil Con Carne). Time Squad and Sheep were "not picked up" (CN's code for cancellation) before they hit 52.

All right so the new episodes just came out like 20 minutes ago for me (oh yeah me from the future here it ended up taking me about 3 hours to finish watching the episodes cuz I kept pausing to write stuff in between so uh yeah lol) so everything under the cut will be my live reaction to everything. I'll add time stamps so you know where I'm at in the episodes. I can guarantee you that I will be sticking to my promise about potentially eating paper if I'm wrong about Sir Pentious not dying. Which honestly now I'm not sure if anyone will die, it was pretty much confirmed in a live stream that angel dust isn't going to be the one to die so my money is on one of the Angels. Also I'm using voice to text and while I'll try and fix any misspellings or wrong words I might miss them.

LOTS OF SWEARING PROBABLY also I very much abuse capslock

EPISODE 7

00:51- I love Sir Pentious looking at Keke I just thought I should mention that

01:03- OH MY GOD NO KEKE MOVED TO HIS LAP AND HE'S PETTING HER I LOVE HIM SM

01:10 aw Alastor was sleepy you guys woke him up!

01:22- I CAN'T EVEN APPRECIATE RAZZLE AND DAZZLE BEING CUTE CHARLIE IS CRYING

01:29- he did the gay little hand thing

01:50- okay so I've already seen this part because of the small leak but I cannot get over the fact that Alastor has his shoes on the bed!! Like man take those off you're getting it dirty!!!!

01:59- mfs kicking his feet on the bed acting like a high school girl about to ask out her crush on the phone at a sleepover like dude you're a serial killer you can't do this to me 😭 also I should probably slow down cuz I'm making an update literally every 2 seconds

02:18 BROS CHECKING HIS NAILS AND DOING THAT POSE WHILE MAKING FUN OF HER ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE UNINTENTIONALLY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE DEATHS OF MILLIONS 💀💀💀 so fruity i love

2:33- Alasto be like "it's called masking deary. Ever heard of it?"

2:44- if he wasn't saying this in such an evil manner right now I'd be saying he's so me frfr

3:07- what do I even say to that line. He popped off but also like respectfully I think I've heard a third grader say the exact same thing

3:53- OKAY SO I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING BUT I'VE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN LOOK AT THIS FRAME, this could easily be the profile picture for someone's film review channel and I'm not 100% sure that people will understand what I mean by that unless you know a very specific person

04:38- Alastor is in his hat man era

4:33- okay so a few things, thank you subtitles for telling me that the music is edgy I feel like just the word tense would have worked on its own but I appreciate it nonetheless. Number two, I don't like seeing the girlies be mad at each other :(

05:34 I will support my boy Sir Pentious through and through he did nothing wrong!!

06:54- not the voice I was expecting for Rosie but pop up Queen she speaks the truth

07:24- ROSIE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE ALASTOR. Also his confusion, I love him so much

11:04- she's kind of like that one Pokemon

Ad time!- I DON'T CARE ABOUT VITAMIN PILLS THAT DOUBLE MY LIFESPAN

11:13- catabettes! Cannibals and catabettes!!! This is going into my vocabulary from now on. Also this frame that I paused at I love her face.

11:57- ugh, susan. All my homies hate Susan

12:54- I have a dream, I'm here to cause a scandal in the cannibal square

13:37- :( well it wasn't obvious to me I just thought the x over the eye was to look cool :(

14:35- SONG FUCK YEAH

15:26 If this song came out years ago I know for a fact there would have been an undertale parody version of it. Also I just got a cosmic brownie and some chocolate milk let's go guys we're eating good tonight

16:00 HOLY FUCKING SHIT SHE CAN JUST GROW BACK HER WINGS

16:30- therapist Rosie is not something I thought I'd be seeing today but honestly I love it. Also I don't think I'm going to be able to finish these episodes today because I'm only a little over 15 minutes through and I've been watching for like almost over half an hour and also I just realized that what if Lucifer is the one that dies?

18:12 ALASTOR GAVE HER HIS MICROPHONE I'M GOING TO EXPLODE INTO A BAJILLION CRYING PIECES RAHHHHHH

19:38 I'm going crazy I'm going insane right now bro literally what how I don't know what to say I love this act I don't know, it's just really good I don't know what to say like this is cool I don't I DON'T KNOW! IT'S I I LIKE IT everybody in cannibal town is cool and I like them and it's like 10 seconds later now and they're literally So based like free food like so me I don't know I'm just rambling at this point

20:56 ALASTOR AND ROSIE'S LITTLE DANCE THEIR LITTLE TIPPY TAPS OH MY GOD YES

21:06- alastor, you know it's not right to make someone your political puppet. Your little dances are cute though so I'll allow it for now.

I don't know why it thought I was speaking Spanish for a second but anyways that episode was really cute and good and I liked it but I'm also scared for the next episode cuz like now I'm wondering is someone actually going to die or were people just lying. I feel like either Adam is going to be the one to die or it's going to be Lucifer cuz they mentioned a lot in the previous episode about how Charlie needs to take up the throne and get ready to take her place on the throne like why does she need to take her place on the throne? Isn't that her dad's job??? Please don't kill Lucifer off please please please 🙏 also I'm still not on board and probably will never will be on the whole political puppet thing. Like I just know I just have a feeling in my bones that alastor's favor is going to be something like "Let me be the ruler of hell lololol" or something anyways

EPISODE 8

01:01-Why are you watching other men get fucked?🤨 (/j)

01:19 🥺 I love 🥺 I oove him so 🥺 so much 🥺🥺🥺 does he have a spatula like spongebob

02:02- wait so how is Vox watching them like does he have bug cameras in the air like those little guys in v3 (woah now I have to put a Danganronpa spoiler on this)

03:42 SOFT ALASTOR FANFICTION WRITERS QUICK WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!

04:18- I'm not even the biggest huskerdust shipper but awwwww also I don't ship him with anyone but I just want to see Sir Pentious happy pleaseeee also the little Melody of loser baby in the background

04:48- ugh I am clutching my heart right now Sir Pentious is my SON and I LOVE HIM

04:58- what the fuck that ao3 tag was canon this WHOLE TIME???? WHEN DID YOU GUYS HEAR ABOUT THIS?????

05:05- I told you angel dust wasn't going to die

05:38- it's like the song but different! Reprise it's called a reprise also is Mimzy gonna come back

07:15- Vox, you know that you guys are going to die if they lose too right?

Okay I can't timestamp this cuz I'll just be pausing every 2 seconds but just know that everything I'm saying after this is from 07:52 to whatever number I put after later right here->09:47

Okay, so this might be a weird comparison but you know like My Little pony Battle scenes? This feels like that in the very best way possible where they have the scenes with all the different characters fighting with the different music.

Oh my God yes Cherry bomb and angel dust I love them also that was a fire transition also I JUST NOTICED THAT SIR PENTIOUS HAT ALSO HAS THE EYE DOES HE JUST HAVE I HATS FOR EVERY OCCASION

Uh oh Adams angry he's going to do a my hero academia

Oh shit it actually worked that's not good.

I TOLD YOU I CALLED IT VOX IS HORNY

Oh my God that is such a cool shot guys someone should make that frame of Alastor their computer background

OH MY GOD WHOEVER ANIMATED THAT SCENE I LOVE YOU I'M LITERALLY GIVING YOU A METAPHORICAL KISS ON THE MOUTH IN THE PLATONIC SENSE ALASTOR LOOKED SO COOL

Guys I think Adam's going to die

😨 okay so Alastor's microphone just broke and I paused it to add that emoji but as I did the people I live with got home so I'm going to have to pause it for there? I'll update if I get prime working on my phone. Also isn't alastor's microphone alive? Maybe that's the character that died.

Update: all right I got it set up on my phone about 30 minutes later now we're resuming

09:47- okay so I think it's interesting that Alastor pretty much lost all his powers as soon as his microphone broke, my guess is probably that whoever has his soul (lilith, eve, or anyone else) gave the mic to him.

09:53- I like the detail that Alastor is still smiling even though he literally just got slammed against the wall, also Vox has the biggest hate boner for Alastor like

10:02- Alastor: "Have to disagree with you there, radio's not dead." Hun you are bleeding out I'm sorry but I don't think you can gaslight girlboss your way out of this one, also I'm sorry to tell you but the only thing they play on my local radio station now besides music is like, a show that's only on at like 7 in the morning where people call to complain about how their husband wraps Christmas presents

10:38- haha silly also EGGS!!

10:43- NO WAIT MY BRAIN DIDN'T REGISTER THAT THAT EGG WAS CRACKED THEY KILLED THE FUCKING EGG!!!!!! Angel, kill them.

11:12- no no no Sir Pentious you better not I don't want to eat paper

11:21- good for him

11:44- NO GOD DAMN IT PLEASE HAVE A REVEAL THAT ALASTOR OR LUCIFER OR SOMEONE ELSE SAVED HIM PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏 I AM BEGGING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES

12:03- okay this is really cool but is he actually dead cuz I'll legitimately be really sad if so

12:50- *that one vine* "*gasp* Adam."

13:23- KILL HIS ASS CHARLIE

14:12 yes Vaggie, queen shit

SIR PENTIOUS ARE YOU DEAD /J OR /SRS?????

14:35 I KNEW IT I KNOW HE WAS GOING TO COME BACK I MEAN I GOT KIND OF SPOILED CUZ I I SAW THE COVER OF THE EPISODE BUT WOAH 10/10 ENTRANCE

14:44- gasp! His face!

15:00- he is, so stupid. I love him.

15:51-okay I went quiet for a minute cuz there were so much happening but oh my God what do I even say this is just so cool also I don't know if this is intentional or not but the blood stain on Charlie's hair is shaped like an apple

16:34- NIFFTY RAHHHHHHH

17:08- wait okay I had a brief thought that maybe lute was actually Eve but I think I'm wrong on that

17:13- Sir Pentious would've liked pancakes :((((((

Ad Time! I don't care about hard Rock Cafe I just want to know whether or not Sir Pentious is actually dead please I'm going through all the stages of grief right now and Brandan Rogers just came on my screen as Katie killjoy please

18:04- Keke :(

Oh my God they're going to find him in the rubble right? ... Right?? Right guys right???????

18:10- fat nuggets survived that's good I see a rock that looks suspiciously shaped like Sir Pentious military hat whoa guys I wonder if that means anything and it looks like it's up like someone is standing? Whoa I wonder if they'll check behind that rock please

18:16- wait is he actually dead I'm genuinely about to cry

19:16- I am not crying about his death until the episode ends I am not crying until it is 100% CONFIRMED that he died

20:50- omg alastor's alive, he's in his Jack's skeleton era that means that maybe Sir Pentious is also-

21:08- friends :) he said friends just saying

22:04- I TOLD YOU I FUCKING TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU THAT BY DYING IT WAS JUST A CHARACTER BEING REDEEMED I TOLD YOU I'M SO SMART I'M NOT EATING PAPER HAHAHAHAHA I'M THE GREATEST MAN ALIVE HE'S NOT DEAD MY SNAKE BOY ISN'T DEAD HOW DID I GET SO ATTACHED TO HIM I DON'T KNOW BUT I LOVE HIM YES I CAN'T EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW I'M GENUINELY SO HAPPY THIS IS WHY THIS IS WHY I WAITED UNTIL THE VERY END TO CRY ABOUT HIM I KNEW HE WASN'T GOING TO BE DEAD THEY WOULDN'T KILL HIM OFF THEY WOULDN'T KILL MY SNAKE BOY OFF JUST LIKE THAT

22:34- you're telling me Lilith was just doing hot girl shit on the beach for 7 years.

[dragon-snoots-a-boopin]

Alright, I don't typically comment on stuff like this but, I can't not do that since this is something in the Transformers community that is just absolutely wild.

The fact that Nightshade from Transformers: Earthspark is causing such controversary is driving me up the wall with the amount of stupid takes I've been about this. It's literally a little over one minute part of a 22 minute episode wherein Nightshade tells one of the humans that their pronouns are they/them and the human says their pronouns are she/they and that is the extent of it.

And, of course, all the conservatives are having such a problem with it. I've seen people calling this "revolting" "disgusting" and saying that "they're after your kids" or "felt uncomfortable and unnecessary" which has to be some of the stupidest ones yet, saying that this one minute part of a 22 minute episode is going to brainwash your kids. No one said that conservatives were smart. Though, the worst of the worst one said "The worst part is they imply that the world is evil and you can only trust non-binary people. This is the most sinister message you can send to a child. Absolutely revolting" which like most of that was never specified in that single minute part of the episode. There's is, of course, the typical thing of these conservatives calling this "leftist propaganda that must be repelled" like I just can't roll my eye any harder at the absolutely stupid shit these people are saying about this one minute part of a 22 minute episode that's apart of a season of show that is 26 episodes long.

Now, first thing to me is to throw part of this right back at them. I can't tell you how many military movies that I've gone to the theater to see with my dad (he likes military movies) and those movies will very often have advertising for one or two branches of the military before the movies starts. Plus, on the behind the scenes of military movies they will often talk about putting the actors through training and will gush on and on about how great whatever branch of the military is helping with the movie and it just turns the movie into pro-military propaganda which the conservatives have zero problem with, of course. Yeah, a whole two and a half hour movie of military propaganda and yet this is how they react to a one minute part of a 22 minute episode of a cartoon for kids.

Now, the part of this I really want to talk about that, for as long as I have been apart of the Transformers community, has never made sense to me. WHY DO TRANSFORMING ROBOTS NEED TO BE GENDERED TO BEGIN WITH??? I believe that these Cybertronians probably wouldn't have specific pronouns like he/him or she/her because they're just autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron. You know why I think people gave these robots genders at all? Because in G1, someone said they needed more diverse characters in the show/comics and thus they introduced the "fembots".

I'm sorry for the hardcore G1 fans but this design is horribly outdated and is just painful to look at. Why the hell did they ever design these characters this way??? Also, the problem is just G1 either but also it leaked into Transformers Prime as well.

Just tell me why all these robots have to have that stereotypical and wholly unrealistic hourglass shape to them??? To me, it's honestly more disgusting and revolting to see these character designs this way because the hourglass shape is just an unrealistic body shape expectation.

Look, I have not watched Transformers: Earthspark because I don't have Paramount Plus and don't want to pay for another streaming service just for one show. But, I don't see anything wrong with Nightshade wanting to have they/them pronouns because I believe that all Transformers characters should be they/them anyway and that they should do a serious redesign of these "fembots". Alien robots shouldn't have these hourglass shapes or angular chests to basically be implied boobs. If this makes people unfollow me then so be it but, I am all for Nightshade and am rooting for them to cause some sort of change in the Transformers franchise as a whole in the future. I may not have watched Earthspark and I hope that someday I can. I hope they release all the episodes on DVD or something. But, I know that regardless of that, I will definitely buy Nightshade's deluxe class figure because I am rooting for them. Keep it up, Nightshade.

Okay I love hazbin hotel, I really do. I love the characters, I love the song. But I’m willing to admit that it have flaws and one of it being the pacing.

And ngl I think I found out why and it’s because numerous reason

Production. When Hazbin got confirmed for season 1 for all we could know the team only know that they get 8 episodes and that’s it. They don’t know about season 2 yet so either they got confirmed for season 2 when season 1 already out into work to the point there no fixing the script, or season 1 is don’t in production stage going to post when season 2 is confirmed. Giving benefit of the doubt there’s a certain panic to explain everything to the fandom so it’s just plot point after plot point being stuffed in one season without time to breathe.

Episode. This involved with the previous reason because if you happen to live under a rock, for some reason there seem to be a trend in shorten episodes seasons. It went from 26-25 to 12-15 and now less than 10. There’s not enough time to develop a character to the fullest. It seem rush because with the pressure from fandom and the uncertainty of confirmed seasons.

Lastly, it written like a musical but have TV show concepts. I feel like this is most confusing and might just be me so lemme explain. Hazbin hotel from ep 1 to 6 feel like a one whole musical where they kinda have to rush it a little? Cause musicals usually have 2 Maybe 3 hours and 40-50% of it are songs so you have to rush throughout the dialogue a little bit and let songs expressed the characters the most. I feel like this is what the show been doing, it rush through the dialogue and development to throw all the emotions we supposed to feel in songs and don’t get me wrong if it have one theme, one major problem like a musical it would work. However, Hazbin have all these problems, heaven forces, Lilith and Alastor sudden disappearance, the Vees, Angel’s arc, Charlie’s arc etc etc it all isn’t a minor problems like “oh these kids wanna be respected and accepted as they are” in School of rock or “this demigod lost his mojo” like in Moana. These problems are all main problem worthy and most of the time tv series have time to deal with this. Maybe one season address one of those problems, maybe one season have 2 main problems for first and later half. And so when you have musical writing with mostly songs where you need to have concise story but instead have tv series concept with multiple arcs what you get is a story that feel rush
