Ok merging responses a bit here we go

HELPPP MICROCELEB LMAOAOAOA ok but honestly every time I see someone mention me on your blog and it’s not you (jeirin) I’m like “omg my rise to fame!!” LMAO and OOO I NOTICED the part that currently says “feels like we only go backwards” right?? Actually speaking of I’ve always been kinda curious about how you chose what to put there LOL

EXACTLYY Karasu tries to walk in all manly like “this is boring and dumb I’m too good to be scared” and gets his shit rocked by the entrance staff (bonus points actually if otoya sneaks in during the same round and makes Karasu piss his pants)

NO SERISOULY SUXHEIDJ it’s fr just “mother, older sister” HELLO???? Bachira’s mom is fr the only one who gets named wait I’m actually gonna fact check the age again when I have the book in my hands again jic

That episode really did something to me he looked immaculate thank you 8bit (I’m ngl I think it’s partially because it was also a nagi and Reo episode that they put their 8bitussy into it hopefully we get a very nice Karasu scene soon…)

FRRR need to send fan mail to kaneshiro asking lowk

Latte sweater yuki is so perfect with the muted earthy tones and the cozy vibes goodbye maybe i need to sit around in cafes more

NO SERIOUSLY like what are the odds that that question gets asked??? Its so random lowk like of all questions kaneshiro fr a stalker

Also losing my mind the amount of times i accidentally click on an ad while scrolling and get launched onto a random ass webpage thank you so much tumblr

- Karasu anon

LMAOO whenever someone else mentions me in their posts especially when they don’t tag me (so i get jumpscared while scrolling through my dash) i’m always like 😱 people perceive me?? idk i think i should stop being surprised though considering how much i post about bllk and how many fics i’ve written for it i think people are probably sick of seeing my username in the tags SKDFJHS anyways yeah i get what you mean i kick my feet and giggle a bit too

YES that part!! ngl i just put song titles from my writing playlist there 😭 feels like we only go backwards is one of my favs if you haven’t heard i recommend!!

okok hear me out here…so we have karasu going on a date in a haunted house, otoya and shidou trying to scare him (otoya had to ask shidou for karasu’s schedule since he’s not on pxg anymore and shidou would only give it to him if he got to join in the shenanigans), and then for some reason AIKU AND NIKO are actually working at the haunted house (niko is the ticket seller that scared karasu because of his emo haircut and aiku is one of those actors that blows up on tik tok because everyone’s thirsting after him) truly so chaotic…oaeu creeps into everything i think about like any idea ever can ALWAYS be elevated by the addition of aiku and niko LMAOOOO

i think isagi’s parents were named in an additional time too?? but yeah other than that there’s nothing really given in terms of info about anyone’s families…in my mind karasu’s sister will always be named yayoi though like i doubt we’ll ever get more info about her (even if we get a karasu ln they’ll probably do what the barou ln did and just call her his older sister without an actual name) so in my mind her name is yayoi (bfb effect) now i need to come up with one for chigiri’s sister…hmm…maybe akane (apparently it means deep red?? which would fit with the hair and whatnot [kinda like karasu])

oh 8bit was def putting in the work because of nagi and reo those are two of their favs LMAOOO i think reo’s little sequence was the best animation besides episode one all season KSDJFHDSK but yeahhh yuki absolutely slayed and we love him for that

UGHH I WISH THERE WERE YUKIMIYAS IN THE CAFES BY MY HOUSE all i have is old people i need to move or smth because the selection where i live is dismal i’m fr going to die single if this is what i have to choose from

LITERALLY IT’S SUCH A RANDOM AND SPECIFIC QUESTION i know for a fact kaneshiro is lurking…which of my followers are you king i need to know!! and btw kaneshiro if you’re out there read my post about yukimiya and kunigami and give them proper characterizations 🙏🏻

HELPP omg tumblr has so many ads now it’s so annoying i can hardly go on the app without my music cutting off and stuff it pisses me off fr

also another unrelated thought BUT i saw an edit of karasu’s dub voice and i actually love it omg like he sounds really good?? i was hating on his dub voice last season but the english va really stepped it up this season he sounds amazing (i actually really like all of the new dub voices except otoya’s i think…otoya’s is just eh but it doesn’t fit him esp in some scenes) anyways here’s a little tt dump for you i’m sure you’ll have seen a majority of them but OH WELL you will see them again!! also if i’ve sent any of these previously i’m sorry i forget atp what i have and haven’t sent LMAOO

this is the one with his dub voice i feel like the sass translated really well??? imo he sounds a lot more smug and condescending and a bit arrogant the way he lowkey is but it doesn’t feel like he’s trying too hard if that makes sense (like it’s not that kaiser-esque “ex-fucking-cuse me” “kneel blue lock” grandiose bs it just feels like karasu really does think he’s better than the others but in a casual nonchalant way as he should)

this isn’t an edit but the way he says “go look in a mirror” also kinda has me giggling 😭 like okay karasu whatever you say king anything for you

THIS ALSO ISN’T AN EDIT BUT THE MOST YUKIMIYA VIDEO TO EVER YUKIMIYA (the other two guys are tabieita) THE GUY EVEN LOOKS LIKE HIM IT’S SO PERF

me whenever isagi is on screen instead of nagi karasu barou or yuki fr

THIS EDIT HAS ME FUMING black beauty is MYYYY SONG why did someone edit RIN ITOSHI to it and why is it GOOD 🤬

nagi the most glorious beautiful majestic man ever he is the only one who is allowed to be edited to 99% of ldr songs (karasu barou and yuki are okay too but most of her music doesn’t really fit them imo)

speaking of nagi i need all of his haters to remember that he was the FIRST to gag rin both in terms of soccer and verbally as well as the first to score on the u20s and likely would’ve thrashed bm if he had stayed motivated…sorry not sorry but nobody’s favs are touching MY goat 🔥

okay ngl i may have sent this to you already if so i’m sorry but anyways this is one of my FAV karasu edits specifically because of the clips of his hands LSJFIDJSJ HIS HANDS ARE SO GORGEOUS AMAZING MAGICAL what i wouldn’t do for him to be real and in love with me

this song kinda cracks me up because of an insta post my ex-friend (the fanon shidou one) made as a joke a couple of years ago BUT the edit is reallyyyy good also this kinda music is what fits karasu for edits in MY MIND…to me the most karasu audio to ever karasu is asap rocky’s part in summer bummer by lana del rey (if you couldn’t tell ldr is my favorite artist) if i could edit i’d make one of him to that song too (i actually used to have an editing acct on tik tok but i rarely posted and got scared someone i knew irl would find me so i deleted it HAHA but actually in high school i was the editing queen people used to film clips at assemblies and stuff and send them to me to edit it was crazy)

this song is FR me to karasu LIKE COME HERE TABITO I WANNA BE SAVEDDDD

another miraverse curated edit but this time it’s nagi and barou instead of barou and karasu

i hate that this one is actually really good (tw kaiser)

otoya (idk what else to say it’s just him being cunty LMAAOOA)

i’m sure you’ve seen them considering how many likes they have but the way this artist draws yukimiya especially but also karasu…sigh…hey god it’s me again

UGH he’s so beautiful i love him…okay that’s all from me happy scrolling!!

Jaw DROPPED at the fact that they weren’t lying about getting the sweatshirt… also the JUMPSCARE when I saw that user on my explore page TODAY. I had to fully close Instagram and walk away (aka open tumblr to check up on what we’ve been saying since yesterday)

Also if I wasn’t worried that they’d all attack you I’d ask you to spill about what you sent to the gossip blogs that they ate up…. Because the ICON-ERY OF THAT?!?!? 📈 off the charts!

I used to send in a bunch of random stuff before, but most of the pages I did it on have died off. The ones still active just prioritise pushing the same players all the time and their drama, I've still sent in fake tea to them, but nowadays some of these pages require you to follow the drama so closely that if you make something up, it still has to align with the other info they’ve already shared, even though most of their stuff is made up to begin with and I am just not that dedicated.

I’ve known about PB pages since I was 14, so I even trolled a bit on some of the old OG blogs. From past to present, though, the stuff I sent in wasn’t too wild? I honestly thought it was a pretty common thing to do. My friends and I would fake player sightings, make up hookup stories, or claim we knew someone who hooked up with or went on dates with them, said we even attended school with them lol. We even faked knowing the kind of girls they actually liked or would go for, solidifying it as "factual" by saying we "knew" them personally. (I’m so sorry to anyone out there we gave false hope to.) You could tell people ate it up based on the likes it got, how they kept asking questions about our submissions, or when other blogs started sharing it around.

#november #so as mentioned before we were out here sending shit out about random players we barely were caught up on #but we obviously did have troll moments on popular guys #like jack hughes heeeheee #I probably hate his fangirls more then he does tbh #yeah anyways if ur smart and crazy enough trust me you can really control the narrative on these pages

Were-Daddies in Charge ~ Black Army

Scenario Prompt: #16 “If you say let’s split up, I swear to God.” from this amazing prompt list! All for the @ikemen-discord-writers blog I’m a part of! Go check it out if you haven’t! There are some awesome writers!

~Fun fact: This is 3,016 words oh boy

~~~~~~~

As the sun falls behind the soil, the Black Army rises. Fall leaves float down from changing trees. The temperatures start to drop into icy cold. As the temperatures drop, the anticipation of the Black Army rises. The boys have been counting down until Halloween, and they are very ready to take this opportunity to scare the shit out of each other.

In order to get the most out of their Halloween experience, the Black Army split into two teams. Team One, aka Spooky Scary, consists of Ray, Fenrir, and Alice. While Team Two, aka Were-Daddies, has Sirius, Seth, and Luka. Each team chose one scary picture to divide into 6 puzzle pieces, which the opposing team will have to find. The exception being that they have to make it through spooks set up specifically for them as fast as possible.

-----

“Ugh, it’s only 8:55.” Fenrir whines, checking his watch for the 5th time in the past minute.

Ray rolls his eyes, “It’s almost time, calm down Fenrir.”

“Can we just go in?” Fenrir’s hand slowly reaches for the door, “It’s not like they’ll notice anyway.”

You smack his hand out of the way, “No! We aren’t cheating!”

Fenrir crosses his arms, pouting, “No fun! Today is supposed to be fun!”

“If we cheat,” you sassily place your hands on your hips, “what do you think they’ll do for their turn? CHEAT! Only better!”

The argument over cheating continues on for what feels like forever, until Ray finally clears his throat to grab your attention.

His eyes on his watch, Ray announces, “Okay, well, while you were bickering, it turned to 9. So,” He throws open the old doors, and turns back with a wild smile, “Time to search.”

Within moments of you walking into the building, a loud pop sounds in the main room. You swivel towards the noise, only to be presented with a very confused Fenrir.

“What the-” Fenrir starts, but his words drop off as his eyes follow the red substance leaking out from under the carpet. Before Ray can protest, Fenrir kneels over, dips his finger into the red liquid, and pops it into his mouth. “Oh! It’s sugary!”

You and Ray groan in disgust. “Why would you do that?!” You shout, slightly covering your eyes, “What if it was poison or something?” The boys wouldn’t put poison in their course, but still it’s gross.

Ray scoffs, “As if they’d have the guts to poison us.”

Fenrir lifts up the carpet, revealing a clear bag with something inside it. He grabs the bag and carefully pulls out what’s inside it. The bag had been holding another bag with a white envelope hiding in it.

“Aha!” Fenrir jumps up in excitement, “First piece down!”

Ray furrows his eyebrows, “Well, if they’re all gonna be that easy, we’ll have no problem at all.” He smirks arrogantly.

You glance around the room, “Please don’t jinx us like that, you know Sirius was a little too excited to have a chance to scare us.”

Ray and Fenrir shrug in response to your slight worry. All you do is sigh lightly and suggest you keep on moving for a good time.

While the sun sets, the moon rises, and the building gets darker. Walking through the big building seems as if it will never end, when you spot a pedestal from a doorway. You back up to the door to get a better look at it.

A pedestal stands in the middle of the spotlight with an envelope piece directly on top of it. For about five minutes, you stand bickering with Fenrir about who is going to go get the envelope. Finally, Ray decides to shut you all up by going to get it himself. Right after he grabs the envelope, a white powder is thrown all over his clothes. He freezes in pure shock, while the culprit laughs maniacally and runs away. You see a shimmer of blue hair as the figure retreats in the distance.

Fenrir drops to his knees, unable to hold in his laughter. Ray tries to make him stop with a death glare, but it only makes him laugh harder. You struggle to hold in your own laughter staring at Ray covered in flour. Ray growls and brushes off the flour as best he can, suggesting that you keep moving through the course. You have to hold up Fenrir as you walk because his side hurts from laughing, but you all continue on through the darkening hallways.

Your walk through the building leads you directly to a hallway that appears to be a mile long in the dark. At the corner of the beginning, Ray spots a still figure with a slight light behind it.

“Wait,” Ray stops mid walk, “is there a piece on that mannequin?”

“What? Oh, looks like one. Let’s go get it!”

“Hold on,” you grab Fenrir’s shoulder, “be careful. It could be some trap.”

Fenrir scoffs, “I’ve got this.” He struts closer to the mannequin and grabs the envelope out from it’s hand. “See! There’s no way they’re gonna just scARE ME!” You all jump back about six feet when the mannequin moves.

Tilting its head to the side, the mannequin smiles, “Won’t I now?” The eyes seem to glow in the lowly moonlit room. It takes a step forward, and you catch a glimmer from silver earrings.

“Guys, it’s Sirius!” You yell-whisper, but no one hears you. All eyes are entranced on the figure as it starts walking faster.

“rUN!” Fenrir turns to run, just about tripping on his own feet. You and Ray bolt down the hallway without glancing back at Fenrir.

A deep, husky laugh booms throughout the building, almost as if it’s inhuman. The sound only makes you three pick up the pace. Your lungs burn, and you see the end of the hallway approaching. Turning to face Ray, you see he had noticed too. His eyes search for an exit, landing on a slightly open door. Both of your eyes met and you swerve towards the door.

You ran through the door first, and directly into a courtyard. Ray follows next, with Fenrir close after. Fenrir slams the door shut behind him and starts piling up nearby cinder blocks against it. Joining him, you and Ray quickly find other things to cover the door. Soon enough, there’s a solid base holding the door shut. You all take a step back from it, right as someone starts pounding against it. The sudden noise makes you all jump, guards rising once again. A few seconds later, the noise disappears, and all three of you fall to the ground. The only noise in the courtyard is your panting and the wind.

After a few minutes, you speak, “Maybe,” you pause, taking a breath, “we should come up with some better plan.”

“Yeah, something feels off, like we’re doing something wrong.” Ray agrees, sending all three of you into a thoughtful silence as you catch your breath.

Breaking the silence, Fenrir shouts, “Oh hey!” he waves his hands around as if they’ll get his point across better than words, “We could cover more ground by-”

“-If you say let’s split up, I swear to God.” You cut him off before he suggests anything stupid. Your sharp gaze causes him to retreat slightly.

Fenrir holds his hands up. “Hey! None of it is real any-” He’s cut off by both you and Ray’s punches to his opposite arms. “oW!”

“Nice one!” Ray says, leading to an accomplishment high-five for the two of you.

Now pouting on the side, Fenrir quietly, “Well, fine. Let’s all stay together then.” He rubs soon to be bruised arms, “Where are we gonna go?”

You shrug, “I don’t know. I just know we’re staying together, thanks.”

After you all recover your breath, you decide to continue venturing the abandoned building. The paths eventually leading you to an open room with a giant closet in the corner. The room is completely barren and dark, except for the light coming out the bottom of the closet. You’re all standing in front of the closet in silence, simply staring and attempting to decide what to do.

“I feel like,” you point to the closet, “what we need is in there.”

Fenrir groans loudly, “Can’t we get another easy one like the beginning?”

“I don't think Sirius can think like that, bud.” Ray chuckles, patting Fenrir on the shoulder, “Also, dibs on not going in there, thanks.”

“Same!” You smirk at Fenrir’s distressed look.

He throws his hands in the air, “Well, gee, thanks guys!” You and Ray give him a thumbs up in encouragement.

Fenrir slowly drags himself over to the closet, hoping one of you would stop him before he got there. Since no one did, he throws open the doors, expecting some dramatic jumpscare. Except, nothing happens. Ray gives a few claps of sarcasm, and encourages him to grab the box in the center.

As Fenrir goes to grab it, a big dress to the side of the box shuffles. Fenrir whips out his guns, pointing them pointing them directly at the dress. He sits for a few moments, his eyes trained on the dress, but there isn’t any more movement. When he slowly lowers his guns, a figure jumps out from behind the dress. We all collectively scream. Fenrir attempts to whip out his pistols again, but the figure grabs them from his hands.

“No guns, Fenrir! You could’ve shot me!” Seth scolds. He stands agrily with the pistols at his hips. “So not allowed!”

Fenrir catches his breath, “Man! You scared me! Of course I whipped out my babies!” He sticks his hands out to Seth, “Now give them back please.”

Seth throws the guns in a bag he was hiding, “Nope. I’m not risking anyone else getting shot tonight. You’ll get these back at the end of your time.” He turns and walks to the door, turning back to us before exiting, “Good luck, you’ll need it.” Now he’s gone.

“Aw man!” Fenrir pouts.

Ray pats his back, “That’s what you get from almost shooting him, Fen.”

Shoving his hands off, Fenrir defensively yells, “I didn’t know it was him!”

You tilt your head, rolling your eyes, “He literally helped set up this entire thing, Fenrir.”

“Still!” He glances back at the closet, “Whatever, lets just finish so I can get them back.” Fenrir grabs the box, pulls out the little envelope, and stuffs it in our bag with the three other pieces.

The hallways are now only lit by the few lamps and torches littered along the edges. You search for any signs of a clue as to where you’re supposed to be heading next. After around 5 minutes, you spot an open door. Lights stream out from the door, so you grab the attention of the boys.

You three head into the room, only to be greeted in a kitchen. There’s a chef standing next to the counter and he looks to be grabbing a knife out of a drawer. You notice the purple hair sticking out from under his hat.

“Luka?” You stare at the chef with the huge butcher knife, “What’s this all for?”

He turns to face you, smiling wickedly, “It’s a challenge.” Luka slams his knife through the thick ham on the counter. “You have to figure out where the piece is hidden.” He gestures to the nicely set table.

The table sits set with a creepy, black Halloween tablecloth. In the center is a great bouquet of orange, yellow, and black flowers, with white lace surrounding them in intricate patterns. There are five seats, each with a plate, silverware, and empty wine glasses in front of them.

“Okay,” Fenrir rubs his hands together, “it’s just hidden somewhere on the table right? Easy.” He starts towards the table, but Luka’s next words cut him off.

“I suppose you could say that,” He chops at the ham again, “but it’s not as much on the table as in the food.” He picks up the ham and walks out of the room, without a single glance backwards.

The three of you nod and look at the table. There’s about 5 different choices in food, with not one of them looking appetizing in the slightest. The options are what appears to be a simple slice of cake, some kind of casserole, jello with many little things inside it, a nicely wrapped burrito with dressing made to look like blood, and a stale-looking fruit cake.

Fenrir darts over to the cake, “I call this one, and only this one! You guys can share the other four!” He holds the plate with cake close to him, as if its his child. You and Ray only meet his with a blank stare that expresses your disappointments. “What?” He questions, “I took charge on everything else.”

Ray shakes his head and walks over to the table, “I’ll take these two so you don't have too bad of a time.” He picks up the casserole and jello. “You can’t tell me this jello isn’t strange looking.” Lifting the jello up to inspect it, Ray twists his face in disgust.

“Okay, then I’ll take these.” You grab the plates with fruit cake and a burrito on them.

“Sweet! I’ll eat first!” Fenrir gulps down the cake, without a thought.

Ray closes his eyes, “Fenrir,” he sighs, “I surely hope the piece wasn’t in that.”

Fenrir shrugs, “Uh, everything went down nicely so I’ll say no.” He points at you, “Your turn!”

Shaking your head, you open the burrito in an attempt to reveal the contents. Nothing suspicious is in it except some undercooked potatoes. As in, literally half a raw potato is in the burrito. “Uhm, no piece, just a weird burrito.”

“Okay, my turn.” Ray slices into the jello, tearing it apart as much as possible. He inspects every little piece that was put into it. There was the potato’s matching half, the top of a fork, and a ponytail holder. Finally, however, Ray pulls out a tiny envelope. “Ah, found it.”

“Oh, thank god.” You let out, relieved you don't have to touch that fruit cake. “Now let’s go get the final piece.”

As you all walk out of the room, Fenrir mumbles to himself, “I’m sure gonna hope that cake was insanely normal…”

Your trio wanders around for about ten more minutes before finding Sirius standing next to three boxes. He says that one of the boxes has the envelope, but you all have to reach inside randomly to find it.

Ray’s box has some crushed brownies inside of it, but no envelope was inside. Ray is a little salty at the now smooshed brownie on his clothes. Fenrir’s box has a bunch of feathers inside. He doesn’t find an envelope, but he questions if the feathers came from the pillows he discovered were missing a few days ago. Sirius reveals nothing. Your box had some fluff balls inside of it, and you found a tiny envelope tucked away in a corner. You pull out the envelope, and the boys holler at your achievement.

“And, time!” Sirius yells, checking his stopwatch. “You guys got 69 total minutes.” You, Ray, and Fenrir share a collective high-five and a few shouts of excitement.

Seth and Luka clap from the side of the room. “Good job guys.” Luka says, “But never insult my jello again, Ray.” He smiles threateningly.

Ray’s eyes widen, “Luka, there was a fork in there!”

“It added to the spooky okay.” Luka puts his hands on his hips.

Before Ray starts the continue the argument, Sirius steps in, “Okay, well” he clasps his hands together in a loud boom, “wanna see your picture?”

All three of you nod furiously and run over to the closest table. You quickly pull the pieces out of your bag, scattering them on the table. After a few minutes of arguing over which piece goes where, the picture is complete. In the picture is two little boys in Halloween costumes. One has cat ears, a tail, and paws, while the other has what looks to be gauze wrapped around him.

“Aw, guys,” you turn to Sirius, “this isn’t scary at all-”

“FENRIR I THOUGHT WE BURNED THIS?” Ray shouts, glaring at Fenrir and cutting you off.

Fenrir holds his hands up in surrender, “I thought I did, Boss!”

They continue bickering and Sirius leans over your shoulder, “That picture is of Ray and Fenrir out at Halloween....when they were ten.”

Grinning, you run over to the picture. Sure enough, there was some magenta hair sticking out from below the bandage and the other kid had the same piercing green eyes as Ray. A laugh escapes your lips, causing the boys to whip around to you.

“It isn’t funny!” Fenrir exclaims, “It was supposed to be burned!”

“Aw, but it’s kinda cute.” You point out, and Ray and Fenrir only get more frustrated.

Ray turns to Sirius, “How did you even find this?”

Sirius grins wider, “Oh, I have my sources.” He gathers up the pieces and drops them into your bag again.

“Can we go now? I wanna see if you can actually scare us!” Seth taunts from his dramatic position laying across a couch.

“You can,” Fenrir sticks his hands out, “after you return my guns.”

Luka raises an eyebrow, “You took his guns, Seth?”

Seth jerks up, “He almost shot me! Of course I took them away!” He reaches under the couch, pulling out a bag to throw at Fenrir. “Here. Take them.”

Fenrir dives for the bag. He quickly opens the zipper and snatches his guns. “Aw, you’ve come back to me!”

“Yeah, yeah,” Ray waves his hand, “now lets go set up.”

Sirius’s eyes full of curiosity and mischief, “Go ahead. We look forward to seeing how you plan to spook us.”

You lift your chin, “Oh, you’ll love it.”

With those words, the two groups separated to switch positions as the scarers and the scaredies.

~~~~~~~

Oh BOY that was fun! Iif you made it this far, bless your soul ily. There’s def gonna be a part 2 next week, so look out for it!

Hope you enjoyed!~

Quest for the Northwest Review

@gfdeepwoods @mysteryseeker

Sorry to keep you waiting!

It's been a long time coming, but it finally came! Not only since the last Blu Blogs (all the way back in March; yikes!) but since I made the promise to provide a review of Quest for the Northwest for a member of its crew (all the way back in June). Now I know what you're thinking and I will tackle these thoughts in order of importance:

1.) What's Quest of the Northwest?

It's the first installment of Gravity Falls: Deep Woods, a fanimatic based series chronicling some adventures in between the normal episodes of Gravity Falls

2.) jesus /march/

yes i know i'm awful

3.) Someone requested you to review their stuff?

i know it's so exciting!

ok maybe none of you were thinking that but i was and it was so flattering and cool and stuffs

4.) Does this have anything to do with the Mystery Hut review?

Only vaguely; MysterySeeker (who I'm assuming is running the project) saw it and thought I was apparently good at this so they asked me to throw some of my...'me' their way.

5.) You promised this review in mid July and it's almost October. What do you have to say about that, HydroPants?

Uuuuuuuuh...there's my ride?

Now in my defense, the first part was released January 16th and the second Hirsch Day and that's a 5 month wait so if anything I'm like, 3 months fashionably early!

Read and weep, boys.

Alright alright, in all seriousness deepest apologies for me taking SO long to get to this. Getting that feedback on time is likely important for whatever you guys are doing with Deep Woods moving forward and it's just plain unprofessional. Really sorry to you all! But enough apologizing, let's get to the review of...

If you haven't already watched it, you should check out part 1 here .

As I stated before, I might not have known about this or looked into without my Mystery Hut review and as I stated there, I was really hyping that project up. Since then I've learned to abolish hopes/dreams and reject happiness, but the thumbnail did give a good first impression. It had a well-crafted quality to it and had been made specifically TO be the thumbnail. This really contributed to my gut feeling that Quest for the Northwest would really be something special. And let me tell you it is DEFINITELY really good. However, rather than talking about it on its own, allow me to spend the entire review judging it not only by its own merits, but by comparing it to Mystery Hut. Naaah, just kidding I'll leave that ol' coot alone. Before I we go in on the story, let's talk about the presentation. Oh my.

Presentation

This presentation is just /amazing/. It's really like taking a step back into Gravity Falls as if nothing's changed (as much as you can in an animatic sense). Starting off with the sound direction, Quest for the Northwest has a distinct element that truly gives it the GF edge any project attempting to emulate the original series needs: the music and audio cues. Brad Breeck's music fills the scenes it needs to and adds to the atmosphere so much. However we aren't dealing with Johnny Test or a 4Kids dub here; the fanimatic knows when to stop talking and deliver some golden silence.

This example from early in the episode where Mrs. Northwest discourages Pacifica from playing with the commoners utilizes sound cues in a way that emphasizes what happens in it

I can't think of a true example of silence off of the top of my head, and it's likely that many scenes use a more lowkey part of the OST, but that works towards the same objective: quieter, more somber moments that appropriately juxtapose the louder ones. It never feels like these silences are too long, awkward, or the result of someone flubbing a line or not being able to think up some dialogue to put in the place of said silence. Speaking of flubbing lines, there's basically none of that: the casting and voice direction are extremely solid. I feel as though some of the people from Mystery Hut (THIS AND TWO THINGS LATER WILL BE ONLY COMPARISONS I SWEAR) may be 'reprising' their roles in Quest for the Northwest (which will hence forth be abbreviated as QftNW) and if they are I gotta give some shout outs to them and the voice director because the delivery and inflections of every line are just right and more. You really get a sense of the emotions and mindset of the characters with every word they say and on the whole the inflections feel very reminiscent of GF. Dipper, Pacifica, Jeff and Preston while not perfect matches are honestly good substitutes and deliver every one of their lines the way you'd imagine the real VAs to. Soos is honestly spot on aside from not being as deep but the real star of the show is Mabel. Though she isn't a near perfect match like Soos, whenever I hear her voice actress speak I can actually feel those Kristen Schaal-isms in her; not just through her dialogue but how she says certain words and just her voice in general. There's even special attention to detail in some places like when Jeff's voice breaks when he's pepper sprayed and in some instances, you can even tell what a character is saying based on their mouth in a single frame.

You can EASILY tell that Jeff's saying something with an 'L' sound, and while you don't have to mark little things like this in boards unless they're really important, I appreciate it a lot.

The only gripes I have with the sound (and they're admittedly minor) is that I feel like Part 1 is a bit quiet, even at max volume and Snadger's hiss audio in part 2 is loud. Like, if you have it at 100% prepare to get that faux jumpscare chord feel. But these really are nothing in comparison to the great sound in this fanimatic.

Upon my first viewing of the episode I was blown away at how well-crafted and consistent the art was. I could NOT believe that there were that many boarders; 4 at most. But I found myself shocked to see a plethora of different artists names flash on screen during the credits (16 to be exact; 4 times as many as appeared). On the second viewing, I was definitely able to distinguish more than 4 styles, but 16 is still WAY more than I'd ever guess. It's just so consistently good, on-model, and expressive, its many artists are able to carry it together with pride.

This shot in particular is really pretty, so I wanted to highlight it :)

Sure there'd be occasional hiccups like Dipper and Mabel's heads being squarshed in some frames or the first portion of Jeff's beast slaying plot but you still get a genuine sense of effort from each and every frame/artist and (Mystery Hut comparison incoming) not ONCE does it ever stoop the low, haphazard inconsistencies and disregard of the Gravity Falls artstyle as Mystery Hut did. In fact, it goes so much further beyond that. Just...take a look.

(Nearly) Every. Single. Face in this project oozes with the Falls. I absolutely loved it and it was a pure joy to look at. Not a second goes where something isn't moving and it's in the best way: each frame is logical and compliments the one preceding and succeeding it. I can honestly imagine so many of these frames transitioning smoothly from one to the other in animation and this level of attention to detail and desire to express a genuine Gravity Falls experience is commendable to say the least.

They remembered dramatic, shading using close-ups and in some shots they even bothered to put in unique towns people that fit the style! Cute!

But the biggest thing of all that propels this to new heights artistically has got to be the understanding of the characters.

QftNW has such a great understanding of Gravity Falls' characters not only in how they talk but equally as important: how their physical body works in relation to other objects as well as themselves.

Dipper's (audience) right hand has such a nice depth to it and the way Pacifica's hair bends on the bench looks like it jumped straight outta the show.

But there's on example that stood out to me above the rest. Just...look at this beautiful 8 frame scene where Dipper and Mabel take off their Pacifica costumes.

Forgot how tumblr shrinks wide images like this, so here: bask in the full glory of these frames!

Whoever drew this is my Super Star, the 1-Up Boy (or Girl). It's on model, it understands how the individual 'pieces' of Dipper and Mabel work (hair, arms, face etc.), it has touches like their changing facial expressions and Dipper turning his hat forward. I just can't do it justice this scene is so /good/. MysterySeeker when you get to this, please give that boarder special shout outs. I love this scene so much aaaaaaaaaah

Alright that's enough gushing about the glorious art and sound. There's one last remark I'd like to make about the presentation. The episode managed to get in a special monochromatic full version of theme which is great, but in the end the episode totaled out to /27/ minutes. Now, if that's what they want to go with that's absolutely fine. Nothing wrong with having your Gravity Falls fan series run a couple over the normal limit. But if they really want to go for that Gravity Falls feeling they should cut 5 of those minutes.

Story and Characters

Quest for the Northwest's basic premise is that Dipper and Mabel decide to go out to a parade being held to honor the election of the holder of the best running gag, Tyler Cutebiker. However upon seeing a miserable Pacifica in the parade Dipper and Mabel (mostly Mabel) callout to her and try to get her away from the parade and by extent her parents. All isn't right however as with Jeff's role as leader being questioned due to his inability to find a new queen, the town's precious princess may find herself in more trouble than she's bargained for. The basic story definitely shows lots of promise, particularly in the idea of having an episode where the Pines twins both interact with Pacifica. But before we really go in on that let me talk about the structural elements that hold up this story.

As stated in the presentation section, the visuals here are on point and they really propel the episode forward with great action based gags, both subtle and dynamic. Jeff rubbing his eyes after being pepper sprayed and Preston's reactions to all of the filthy commoners being near him (Soos especially) added to the scene SO much.

Don't touch me, PEON. And on a similar note...

Don't touch me phone, PEON.

The characters aren't just moving through each scene as lifeless dolls, occasionally making flanderized quips that are supposed to remind you "YUP THAT'S THEM". That wasn't uh, that wasn't supposed to be a Mystery Hut sneak diss either I just wanted to say that the characterization is great. Speaking of that third Mystery Hut diss, it's finally time to get to it as we talk about the characterization. Mabel's characterization is MILES better than it is in Mystery Hut. There she was a spouting faux-Mabel non-sequiturs and generally being a flanderized nuisance. But here? Her dialogue isn't substanceless; it's endearing, and smart, and feels SO Mabel. And being that this is QftNW, it's not just her dialogue. It's her actions. How she moves and the things she does: licking the beard hair twice (and ultimately eating some at the very end), her "balloon sense" in scene 2, picking the cotton candy off the bench when they hear people calling for Pacifica and then sliding next to them when they look behind the wall.

It culminates into making Mabel feel well represented and because she's one of our two protagonists, it's pretty important to have her on point. And that my friends is that LAST you'll hear of Mystery Hut for the rest of this review. Probably ;)

I think that Pacifica was handled really well too! Some fans would've had her be a complete 180 from her appearance in Northwest Mansion Mystery, having her be all nice, and kind, and forcing Padippica down our throats in a way that feels unnatural, Pacifica still retains a lot of her personality. She's clearly only JUST learning to be better person and it's the gradual type of character development that I love to see.

Pacifica says "It's ok, most people are terrible at what they do." and not only is this a funny line but it feels perfect for a kid who's only steadily learning to drop her rich girl tendencies.

Sort of reminds me of the Steven Universe episode "Beta" where Peridot is showing Amethyst and Steven the Beta Kindergarten and making remarks about the gems that emerged there that really bring out her more Homeworld-like habits.

Jeff's pretty well-handled as well. Due to him being more of a recurring character in the series he's got nothing that really stands out but he's still well represented, especially in relation to the show. Basically all of his dialogue feels right at home with him. Though there is one action he takes in the story that particularly stands out, and that's retrying the Norman scheme from Tourist Trapped. I know this seems like the type of thing that'd I normally whine about and call forced reference/fan-pandering, but the way it goes about is such a unique parallel to Dipper and Mabel's encounter. The Gnomes are NOT the smartest creatures in Gravity Falls, so it makes perfect sense for them to double down on such a make-shift plot. It further expands on the parallel by having the plot fall apart very plainly. Him stumbling over his words, dropping the hand, and just coming on too strong coupled with Pacifica not buying it at any point and eventually fighting her way out is a serves as a smart subversion of Mabel's encounter with them, helps advance the plot in a unique direction. On the topic of throwbacks that brings us to Dipper and well...

For the most part I believe Dipper's also himself. At first I was thinking he was being a bit of a downer but honestly, it fits Dipper to be resistant against things like going to the parade. Him not thinking about Pacifica's huge milestone in Northwest Mansion Mystery (NMM) where she disobeys her parents is a little bit harsh but things really go over the edge when after the twins manage to get Pacifica off the float, Pacifica mentions that while appreciative, she doesn't want to be caught with them for fear of more punishment from her parents. Dipper replies to this by saying "See Mabel, she hasn't changed at all. And here I thought you were gonna start trying to break the world's worst chain".

Barring the fact that reprising the "world's worst chain" in the context of demeaning Pacifica comes off as absolutely brutal seeing as the line was such a landmark part of NMM (it was the thing that made Pacifica finally consider a change of heart), it feels very forced. Dipper didn't need to say something that cut so deep AGAIN especially after Pacifica saved ALL of their lives not out of obligation but out of wanting to do the right thing. And that's just the world's worst chain part; the fact that he says she hasn't changed at all? Way too much. And considering that she's just doing something as little as running away from a boring parade and not tricking Dipper into exorcising a ghost it was really unwarranted for him to go nuclear on her like that. Honestly this is the only instance of bad writing in this entire fanimatic. Like, Pacifica not wanting to consistently disobey her hella strict parents again makes sense. Has the Fear of God never been put into this boy by Mr. and Ms. Pines?

But don't let this minor blemish make you think it's NO good. The episode's writing is honestly SO good. And it's referential/injoke humor definitely isn't a hit or miss in most cases. You know, based on the fact that I gave 1 hit example and 1 miss example; I didn't want it to come off as QftNW being a crapshoot when it comes to reference jokes. It's very subtle but you can catch things like 'Dope Dog', an obvious reference to Cool Cat who we all probably know from YMS, Pizza Guy being jibbed YET again,

Shout outs to whoever boarded the first montage too btw

Alex Hirsch's face being on the TV and name somewhere else in the episode, the former Mayor's honorary statue and the fact that it has 2012 on it,

You guys KNOW they would've had to vague the date if this was a real episode.

And best of all Pacifica's response at the end when asked if she wants to visit the shack. If you don't get it, listen to how she responds to Dipper. You'll get it. QftNW is just plain good at balancing the worlds of emulation and fandom. I salute you fair fanimatic.

As you could guess from how much I've gushed about the characterization, the writing is a joy. The jokes are very much Gravity Falls and from start to finish this episode is doing its best to give you that feel when you have GF.

On first viewing this had me /ROLLING/, oh my god. What a great way to start off an episode.

And it keeps this kind of stuff up throughout its entire run. BTW shout outs to one of the guys who said "MS. NORTHWEST" while they were looking for her. This is so random but the way one of them said it honestly sounded like professional VA work. He knows who he is. Alright that's enough goofing around. How do I feel about the actual plot, the meat of the story separated from the writing/art framework? As stated before I truly believe this to be a great fanimatic. Its production efforts are high for a fanmade project and you can just tell lots of love and heart were put into every aspect of it. But if I'm being quite honest, I found the actual plot sort of weak. The writing itself was top notch so that did it a lot of favors but if you take a step back, you realize that not a lot really happens. Like, a lot HAPPENS but not a lot of substance happens. The episode deals with two primary conflicts: Pacifica trying to take a break from her daily routine and avoid her parents and Jeff trying to prove he's a worthy leader. Both are handled in a pretty straight forward manner: Pacifica avoids her parents all day and worries how they'll react, Dipper and Mabel come up with a valid excuse less than half way through the episode; Jeff tries to kidnap Pacifica, fails, the kids pity him and help him out by doing the classical costume farce and all is well. It's lacking the strong character plot (ex. Mabel questioning if she is a good person in Last Mabelcorn, Dipper confessing his crush in Into the Bunker, Dipper and Mabel wondering if Stan is really what he seems in well, Not What He Seems, Soos learning how to deal with girls/the fear of being alone in Soos and the Real Girl etc.) present in nearly every Gravity Falls episode. Even the segments within Bottomless Pit! and Little Gift Shop of Horrors managed to place some significant character plots that easily feel just as strong as the real episode's despite them not actually happening. Here minor conflicts arise, but they're never anything that hard to surmount or quite frankly, that interesting. After letting it sit with me for a while, I realized that

1.) The episode has two montages. Not that having two is some abominable sin they should've avoided at all costs, in fact montage 1 is great for giving an abridged showcase of the kids day together. Montage 2 on the other hand doesn't exist to parallel montage 1 (showing an advancement/decline), or show anything of interest in general. It's just your normal training montage. It has funny jokes but it seems sort of excessive. Montage 2's results are a total flop and result in them having to think up a b plan. The fact that montage 2 is ultimately not important isn't even lampshaded, in fact it's more played as unfortunate with how Jeff nearly cries. I'm not saying that montage 2's failure should've been played for laughs, especially since in episode the failure is punctuated by a gag, just that in the end montage 2 was a bit cliche and unnecessary.

2.) Pacifica's presence in the second half feels sort of extra and as if it's there primarily so we can get more Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica relationship-growing-time fanservice. Which is not to say that is at ALL a bad thing (the bit in the last scene before the credits scene is SO cute and not forced at all I love it), but when you're trying to write a good story, particularly a Gravity Falls one, having a strong central conflict to carry the episode is pretty imperative. One easy example I can think of off of the top of my head? There could've easily been parallels drawn between Jeff and Pacifica and the pressure from the obligations they have to their families. Jeff on his only simply isn't that compelling a character and making him into a compelling character that late into Gravity Falls isn't that beneficial. He isn't locked out of development due to being a recurring character, but having him have his own little arc that ultimately contributes to Pacifica's (a major character) would've been a better choice. There's obviously more than one way to do things, but that's something I thought would've worked out well.

3.) The title "Quest for the Northwest" doesn't reflect the episode's contents. Jeff's easily apprehended by Pacifica so there's no such quest to speak of and it isn't a clever bait-and-switch title like "The Ricklantis Mixup" because Pacifica defeating the gnomes on her own isn't the big bait of the episode, it's just a nice little parallel to Dipper and Mabel's encounter. Had it actually been about Pacifica being kidnapped and Dipper and Mabel going on a quest to save her whilst say, Pacifica decides to help Jeff out of pity after she breaks free on her own, eventually coming into her own as someone who's taking the first steps to being a better person, THEN it could've been called Quest for the Northwest. It would have the double meaning of not only Dipper and Mabel being on a quest to save Pacifica (the Northwest), but Pacifica being dealt her own 'quest' in helping Jeff out. But that's just me spitting out a specific theoretical I liked, there's tons of ways the title "Quest for the Northwest" could've been justified. The episode's plot just isn't one of them.

4.) Last and certainly least, the black eyebrowed Gnome who's clearly trying to usurp Jeff really isn't relevant. He's shown as the leader of this growing insurgence, but all he really does is talk mad game in two scenes and get absolutely destroyed in an admittedly funny scene. He didn't need to be his own character and the gnomes dissatisfaction could've been more properly represented with a mob rather than a man...urr, gnome. But really, this is a drop in the bucket compared to the bigger issues presented in #1 and #2. Had those been more refined this would just be an outlier rather than a cherry on top of a problem cake. A single layer problem cake mind you, but still a problem cake.

But enough of the negative: in the end Quest for the Northwest is a satisfying episode that captures the soul of Gravity Falls magnificently well despite its faults. An absolute must see for Gravity Falls fans, and if you for some reason read this review without watching it, check it out part 1 and part 2 here. There's plenty to see both writing, visual and gagwise that I didn't spoil, and honestly? Not seeing it is a disservice if you like Gravity Falls a lot. Definitely worth a watch. 8/10; MUCH better than Sonic Lost World.

th-that's my thing now guys. any time i give a number rating it's also quantitatively compared to sonic lost world u

Anyway enough of me babbling, if you enjoyed this fanimatic like I, you should check out their tumblr page for updates on whatever they have in the works . Pretty sure the next episode coming is being titled "Deep-Rooted Misunderstanding" so look out for that, cause I know I will! And while you're here, you might as well check out some of the rest of the this blog and see if you find anything you like. Stay tuned because next week, we're going to be talking about Sonic Forces and/or Mario Odysse-- on second thought let me not get back on my bullshit and promise next week, see you guys in june lmfao

I just realized we never learn Beast’s name in the movie

Alright, real talk time: I have never seen Beauty and the Beast. Now before you grab your pitchfork and torch, let me qualify that statement. I have never seen Beauty and the Beast--all the way through. I’ve listened to most of the songs and seen enough clips to understand the general plot, but I don’t believe I have seen it all together in one sitting. So that’s what I’m about to do.

And you’re gonna join me!

How, you ask? Via a livestream of my thoughts onto this blog! Wow, the future is now!!!

So without further ado, yip yip-----

K so the intro music is telling me scary shit is about to go down. But the forest setting is telling me someone is about to sing to the woodland creatures.

I know this is a Disney movie, but really? The “Once upon a time, in a far away land” trope?

So two things now: 1) why does this castle have so many stained glass windows that outline every panel of this story (lol) and 2) I keep expecting to hear Shrek’s voice suddenly butt in and “All Star” to start playing (lolololol)

Also, why does the narration assume the prince needs to earn “her” love? I think it’s high time Disney had their first LGBTQ+ protagonist amiright?

Just hit the “Beauty and the Beast” title card, and I’m already getting weird vibes on the whole bestiality here...

Wow, Belle is really roasting her town (with some pretty learned diction too)

OH MY GOD DID DISNEY JUST SHOW A GOOSE GETTING SHOT WHAT THE HECK

I get that Gaston is supposed to be the epitome of masculinity, but what are up with his yellow gloves--is he gonna scrub a sink later or something?

Kudos to Belle for being able to walk and read a book; I can barely walk and chew gum

Gaston has been on screen for a minute so far, and I already hate him. Good job, Disney

I can definitely tell Disney took a few pages from Ichabod Crane in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow for Belle’s father’s scene in the woods. Spooky.

So the anthropomorphic objects in the castle are cute and all, but I have quite a few questions to ask about their biology. Quite a few things don’t add up...but then again, this is an animated Disney movie.

OK OK OK I WAS NOT READY FOR THAT. WHY IS THE BEAST SO SCARY. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS GONNA BE A JUMPSCARE CLOSE-UP OF HIS FACE OH MY GOODNESS.

Dammit, Gaston--NO MEANS NO YOU FUCKBOY.

Wait, how does Felipe know that Belle’s Father ended up at the castle...? If I recall correctly, that horse booked it out of there before Belle’s Father could even move from the cliff...

GODDAMMIT BEAST WHY DO YOU KEEP POPPING OUT LIKE THAT I’M WATCHING THIS MOVIE IN THE DARK JEEZ

What purpose does the Beast have with keeping Belle’s Father prisoner, though? Like that most certainly will not break the spell...like at all...

Alright, I get that these two are supposed to fall in love, but the total tone and animation shift in the Beast is a little much, isn’t it? He just threw an old man into a spider-carriage and now is feeling sheepish and embarrassed about offering a room to Belle?

Also, I JUST realized Belle is made in the likeness (color scheme, face, voice, etc) of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

Didn’t Belle want to leave the village anyway? Soooooo, the castle is a step up then? Eh?

Lolololol “What’s in the West Wing?” Well, that’s where the President’s cabinet is (my humor is dumb; get over it)

Gaston, that’s perfectly good beer you just tossed in the fire. Like wut.

After that Gaston song about getting swoll from 4 dozen eggs, I think he should do Old Spice Deodorant commercials.

How is Belle so accepting of the fact that everything is talking to her...?

Awwwwww it’s Beast’s first date. He’s so nervous. Aaaaaaaand he’s back to being a jerk. Great.

Oh is it the “Be Our Guest” song now? Yup. Yup, it is.

I really don’t get Belle. She has just been taken prisoner, has just met a bunch of talking silverware, and is now so excited about “her first time being in an enchanted castle.” She’s just on a roller coaster of emotions, eh?

Lol Lumiere and Cogsworth trying to keep Belle on track with the tour is exactly how it feels to be an Admissions Tour Guide.

Alright, hold on to your butts everyone cuz we’re hitting some deep stuff right now. It just dawned on me how complex of a character Beast is. He’s a guy who is extremely self conscious about himself that fears social ridicule. Beast tries to reach out to Belle to have a meaningful connection with Belle. Belle doesn’t know the scars underneath his jaded exterior but tries to find them, against the Beast’s wishes. Beast really doesn’t want to open up to other people due to his social anxiety. So when Belle catches her first glimpse of the rose, Beast loses it and pushes her away as far as possible, farther than he has ever before. Yet the last shot shows him torn over whether that was the right thing to do. On the one hand, he is terrified of getting close to someone, but on the other hand, he yearns for that kind of meaningful connection. It’s a classic relationship scenario told through the guise of a fairy tale. Disney, you sly dog. Coolio, let’s get back to it.

Hm, interesting dichotomy between the Beast and the wolves.

So Beast did save Belle’s life and all, but now they’re suddenly cool with each other? Technically speaking, she’s still his prisoner...is that a hint of Stockholm Syndrome I spy...?

Lol Beast just showed Belle Perkins Library

Is this seriously a the-two-potential-lovers-build-their-relationship-towards-the-possibility-of-falling-in-love music montage? It is -_-

No no no no no. That canNOT be Beast’s singing voice. That sounds nothing like him!

Aaaaaand this song is about bestiality....

“Human Again” reminds me a lot of the “Sorcerer's Apprentice” scene from Fantasia what with the mops and all.

Alright alright alright there is no way Belle and Beast could be reading Romeo and Juliet and have smiles like that on their faces at the end. That’s just wrong.

“Beauty and the Beast” really is a timeless song. So magical.

Aw, poor Beast. Belle just up and left him like that...

Oh Belle. Why would you show the HUNTING PARTY the Beast in the mirror???

Gaston said a bunch of exaggerations that stirred fear in the general populace. He also antagonized someone who was different with said fear. He also said “wall.” Illuminati confirmed: Gaston=Trump

Aw Beast had his heart broken, and now he’s in the angst-y “nothing matters anymore” phase

Lolololol Wilhelm Scream @ 01:15:50

What the heck! One of the angry mobsters had tea dumped on him while another had a giant wardrobe dropped on him! That hardly seems like an equal attack to me...

Holy fucking shit. You have got to be kidding me. Why the FUCK would Disney show one of the goons pulling the feathers off a duster?! Is that supposed to be some sick twisted form of rape?! What the fucking hell, Disney!!!

Are you telling me Gaston really can’t tell the difference between a stone gargoyle and Beast? Damn, he really does need to read more books

Heh. Guess you could say after losing Belle’s affection, Gaston had a really bad FALL from grace.

Ok I understand they’re in love and everything, but does Belle really think that just cuz she’s there with Beast now that the GAPING KNIFE WOUND IN HIS KIDNEY will suddenly magically heal? Oh wait, it does? Wut.

Ok ok ok. I know this is really nerdy, BUT when Beast transforms back into a human, it’s like he’s traveling through time along the evolutionary tree. The transition of his legs specifically show how goat/horse legs relate to ours in the ratio of foot-to-leg length

Hot damn check out Beast’s new weave. Those are some F-L-O-W-I-N-G locks, mate.

Well that’s a very Broadway-esque musical-style ending. I like it.

Good movie. Would recommend. Certified fresh. #Gastonthefuckboy2k17

This is something that's been on my mind for a long time. Long ramble under the cut

TL;DR: Grazer-razor has some of the worst black and white mentality I've ever seen and I can tell he has never critically examined his biases a day in his life.

Because I'm a terrible little gremlin who can't leave well enough alone, I've been reading these posts

Ignoring the absolute stupidity of these statements (I'm pretty sure the lack of rainbow logos is because in many middle eastern countries, homosexuality is a crime and these companies just want to make money. But I'mnot going into the nuances and implications of rainbow capitalism today.), something stood out to me.

Does Grazer... genuinely think nobody has ever criticized the Muslim faith? That we all ignore the homophobia present within the religion just because they're a minority? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen even some of the most staunch leftists criticize things like their horrible treatment of homosexuality or the rampant sexism often sanctioned by radicals. Even other Muslims, especially women and lgbt+ Muslims, have been critical of these things.

It wouldn't shock me if Grazer believedthat anyone who supports Muslims believes they can do no wrong. After all, he thinks any criticism of Christianity is hatred, and dismisses any harmful things Christians do as not being "real" Christianity in a classic case of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

Note how he didn't even respond to the first asks comments, just accused them of being me (because obviously any time someone sees his blog it's all my fault /s)

So it seems like in Grazer's mind, there are only two options when it comes to religion: Uncritically praise and defend everything a religion does no matter how heinous it is and justify it because it's done in a God's name, or condemn anyone who practices it as hateful terrorists. Because he doesn't see people doing the former for Christians, he automatically assumes that they're doing the latter, and vice versa for Muslims.

Also note how he gets mad when muslim faith is "respected" (again, homosexuality is criminalized in many of these areas) but then demands a secular children's show cater to his religion for the sake of his precious childhood.

(Also, can we just talk about the absolute fucking cruelty in this answer? There are people out there that had their childhoods ruined by abuse, illness, losing loved ones, homelessness, poverty, bullying, near-death experiences, having their countries torn apart by war, a shitty foster care system, teen pregnancies, and so many other things that can absolutely destroy a life. Grazer's was ruined by… *checks notes* a cartoon character supporting gay rights and a drag queen singing a cutesy children's song. So yeah, if that's the worst part of his childhood he's pretty damn lucky, and the fact that he has the gall to still complain absolutely makes him selfish and ignorant. It's disrespectful, plain and simple, and if he were truly a good Christian he'd have some compassion.)

Okay, so Grazer has some weird "rules for me but not for thee" shit when it comes to religion. This isn't news. Where am I going with this?

Well, turns out he has this opinion about more than just religion. Know how I know this? His response to ESRB ratings and trigger warnings.

So it seems like Grazer sees the ESRB as some sort of moral compass, in a way. Something being rated E or E10 means it's pure and good and wholly unproblematic, while anything higher means it's evil and disgusting and he can't even look at it.

This is further confirmed by this post, where he flat-out states he sees the ESRB as deeming what things are and are not morally acceptable.

Now Grazer, I'm gonna explain this as best as I can, because it seems like you don't quite understand this. Read very carefully.

This is not the purpose of the ESRB rating system.

I repeat, this is NOT the purpose of the ESRB rating system.

The ESRB does not decide on what is and is not morally correct. It simply says "This game contains these topics, and as such is most suitable for people in this age group.". That's it. It's a guideline, not a rule.

Let's take cartoon violence, for instance. It's a very common warning the ESRB puts on games. Almost every game from Mario to Sonic to Crash Bandicoot and even Monster Tale has this warning. These games are all rated E for everyone. Does this mean those games are promoting violence to children, or claiming things like Bowser kidnapping Peach or Pinstripe trying to gun down Crash are perfectly okay and morally correct? Of course not. It's simply saying that these games contain mild, non-graphic violence, but most children should be able to handle seeing it.

On the other side of the coin, let's take a look at the warnings for nudity and sexual themes. Most games that contain these topics are rated T at the lowest and AO at the highest. This obviously isn't saying that nudity and sex are inherently bad or evil. All it's saying is that these topics are best handled by adults (And, regardless of morality, it is illegal to distribute sexual content to minors unless it's meant to be educational, like a health class textbook).

A few extra points:

. Games can be rated different things in different countries. Different countries have different regulations. Do you know why the blood in Danganronpa is pink? It's because in Japan, games with excessive amounts of blood and gore are given a Z rating (Japan's equivalent to an AO rating). They got around this by making the blood pink, securing the game its desired M rating. Meanwhile here in America, Mortal Kombat is allowed to show as many graphic, brutal deaths as it wants and still receive an M rating.

. ESRB ratings are not legally enforceable. I was so convinced as a 16 year old that the employees at gamestop would try to card me or something when I was picking up a copy of Bayonetta, and I was surprised when they simply rang me up in two seconds, no questions asked. It doesn't happen. For fuck's sake, one of the first games I ever played, at the tender age of four, was Soul Edge. A T rated game. The only instance ESRB ratings are legally enforced is in the case of AO ratings, as these games often contain incredibly graphic violenceor sexual content. If this outrage is coming from the idea that certain ratings will keep younger people from playing these games from a legal standpoint, don't worry. A nine year old is not gonna get arrested for playing Among Us. Just don't buy them GTA San Andreas or Leisure Suit Larry and everything will be fine.

. No two consumers are exactly alike. While one 13 year old may be perfectly fine with the jumpscares in Amnesia, another may be too scared to even go near the piano in Super Mario 64. That doesn't mean either of these games is rated incorrectly. The ESRB is there, once again, as a recommendation for the average consumer, and doesn't take individual experience into account. An individual experience is not their responsibility. It's also on parents (or you yourself!) To decide what the consumer can or can't handle.

"But Haley," I hear you say, "What if this piece of media DOES contain something morally bad?"

Well it's simple. You are allowed to like things AND still criticize the bad parts of it.

Hold on now, I'm not telling you that it's perfectly alright to enjoy things like Birth of a Nation or anything like that! Contrary to popular belief, there are some pieces of media that are truly too steeped in hatred and morally reprehensible things to be supported, even through a critical lense. The only merit things like that have is to serve as a warning: This is a terrible thing made for terrible reasons, and we should not allow it to happen again.

But outside of those rare circumstances, it's not so cut and dry.

Let's take a piece of media i actually enjoy, for instance, so you know I'm not a hypocrite: Persona 5.

Persona 5 is easily one of my favorite games in the Persona series. It does a lot of interesting stuff, the artstyle and soundtrack are (in my opinion) the best in the series, and overall it's very enjoyable for me.

But, like anything, it's not perfect. I'm incredibly uncomfortable with the hypocrisy the game has in regards to the sexualization of teenagers. While Kamoshida is rightfully condemned for his sexualization of teenage girls and Ann's persona awakening comes from rejecting this objectification, the game and story undermine it by not only putting Ann in a sexually revealing outfit, but also making light of Ryuji's sexual harassment by adult men (Allegedly Persona 5 Royal tries to fix this by making the men drag enthusiasts who think Ryuji would look good in drag and giving them more sympathetic personalities, but it's still really weird and hypocritical of the game to do this.). The teenage protagonist is also allowed the option to date adult women, including his teacher, and the game rarely if ever touches on the problems with this.

The game's homophobia also left a bad taste in my mouth. Aside from the aforementioned men who sexually harass Ryuji, the only other canon LGBT+ character is a bar owner who is either a drag queen or a trans woman (or both?). Sure, she's portrayed as being kind and protective of the protagonist, but there isn't much room to interact with her or learn more about her. On top of that, not only can the protagonist not romantically pursue his male friends (A feature that even the SECOND persona game had), he's not even allowed to give them gifts or platonically show affection towards them without the dialogue mocking him. The game that allows a teenage boy to date his teacher won't allow him to simply give his male friends a present.

And yet, despite those criticisms, I do still enjoy the game. I don't consider the game irredeemable garbage based on those poorly handled topics alone. And I also understand that for some people, those topics make them so uncomfortable that they don't want to play the game at all, and I completely respect that.

Criticizing the things you enjoy is not only normal, it's oftentimes healthy. Being able to step back and say "I like this thing, but I don't like the bad things it's done. This thing would be better if these issues were fixed." Sure, sometimes some people tend to complain a bit too much about the media they supposedly enjoy, but for the most part being able to acknowledge the bad with the good is a good skill to have.

Oh, wait, all of this means nothing because Grazer thinks that critically enjoying things is nothing more than an excuse to consume media he doesn't personally agree with. Okay then.

So if he can't even realize something as simple as "it's okay to criticize some parts of media that you otherwise enjoy", how can he be expected to look critically at a religion that he's been raised in and around all his life?

Soooo yeah, Grazer has some serious problems with black and white thinking that he refuses to acknowledge, further worsened by the fact that he's practically been brainwashed into believing that Christianity is the ultimate moral compass that everyone should follow. I understand that this tends to be an issue for neurodivergent people, but it's not an excuse for the actions he does that are related to these things (sending death threats to the ESRB, antagonizing others, etc.

The 100 ask game

I saw this on @osleyakomwonkru her blog and she ended it with “if you want to do this, go for it”, and I’m a massive nerd that likes the ask game so I’m going for it

1. What Station on the Ark would you be from?

Arrow station, it is the furthest away from the other stations and because I hope that there would be a lack of machines like the kind on factory station, mecha station, hydra, station and farm station, seeing as those are NOT usually quet machines

2. What would you get arrested for on the Ark?

Either stealing something or because of something that happens if I become overstimulated. I have autism and a spacestation would never stop producing sound so things like going to the wrong place, not following certain orders that I might not even have processed, or if someone tries to stop me from leaving a place with too many stimuli MAKING them let me go

3. Would you take off your wristband when you landed on the ground?

Nah

4. What would the necklace Finn would make for you look like? (Clarke: deer/Raven: a raven duh..)

Assuming I’d know about their (former) existance, a penguin

5. If you could resurrect any MINOR character who would it be?

Probably Sinclair

6. Create a squad of 5 characters to go on missions with. Who are they?

Uuuhm lets see, assuming we are still on the original earth but with the peeps from season5, I’d say Raven(tech), Niylah(she can get and process food and make clothes, and in general seems like a usefull person), Octavia(fighting and strategy), Jackson(healing) and Maddie(she knows the land and can also gather food)

7. What Grounder Clan would you belong to you?

I think either Trikru or Trishanakru

8. What would your name be in Trigedasleng? (example: Octavia=Okteivia…just make it up!)

I think it would be jessika, though for this I am using the The 100 wiki so idk how good of a job I am doing interpreting that

9. Thoughts on Finn? Some people hate him, and others love him, so I’m curious

At first I liked him but season 2 Finn can just go die in a fire, ooh wait he got stabbed by Clarke before the fire came...

10. Be honest. How willing would you have been to take the chip without knowing all the horrible things it does?

Not. I’d like the thought of not suffering but I would not trust some sorta chip

11. What character do you relate to most?

I think Charlotte, she was dropped in a shit situation and had no idea how to deal with the situation(though her situation is on a whole other level)

12. What character do you like the least?

From the ones currently alive, Kane. He went from dick to pretty decent BUT NOW HE’S BACK TO AN ASSHOLE LIKE C’MON MAN

13. Describe your delinquent outfit. (Would you wear something like Murphy’s jacket with the spikey red shoulder patch or have a trademark like Jasper’s goggles? Be creative, yet practical)

If I’d be able to get my hands on it, cargo pants(I like ma pockets), some kinda shirt with half long sleeves(I can’t really handle ones with really short sleeves and long sleeves aren’t very useful if it becomes hot) and some kinda jacket, depends on what kinda jackets I would be able to get my hands on

14. Favorite type of mutant animal?

The butterflies

(also WHERE DID THE MUTANT ANIMALS GO LIKE THEY WERE THERE AND THEN THEY JUST FORGOT ABOUT THEM FOR A WHILE OR SOMETHING?)

15. What would your job be on the Ark?

Sorting things like scrap metal. It doesn’t require a lot of social interactions and I LOVE sorting things. So I’d probably enjoy doing it a lot, work hard and probably become faster as I do it more

16. Would you have willingly pumped Ontari’s heart if Abby asked?

Yeah

17. If Lexa wasn’t Heda, but she was still alive then who would have made the best commander?

Uuuuhm probably Roan yeah

18. How would you act if you ate the hallucinogenic nuts like Jasper and Monty?

Judging from how I act when sleep deprived, like an idiot(like getting jumpscared by my own hair, multiple times) that is also smort, like I’d probably find a way to make a shitton of bombs, and I would find useful stuff and forget where I got it from

19. How would you have dealt with Charlotte’s crime? A more John Murphy approach or Bellamy Blake approach?

Not really an option but more like Clarke. There should be some kind of system that is democratically voted on that applies on ALL crimes of the same sorts. Spur of the moment emotions are NOT a good way to judge anyone

20. Who should have been the Chancellor, if anyone?

I am not sure to be honest

21. Would you have been on Pike’s side like Bellamy or on Kane’s side? Or Clarke in Polis?

Either by Kane’s side or in Polis

22. Mount Weather had a lot of modern commodities. (example: Maya’s Ipod) What is the one thing you would snatch while there?

I would look around and hope for dear life that they have noice cancelling headphones(for autism reasons), and maybe even some sort of small solar panel and generator to charge it

23. What would your Grounder tattoos look like? Hairstyle? War paint?

I would probably have some tattoos on my arms, my hair would be in a ponytail with some small braids in there and I’d probably wear war paint around my eyes

24. Favorite quote?

“Ge smak daun, gyon op nodotaim.” (Get knocked down, get back up), like it’s part of my phone background

25. If all of the characters were in the Hunger Games, who would have the best shot at winning?

I agree with @osleyakomwonkru “Luna, because I think she could outlive everyone either by fighting until the death OR by stomping off by herself and outlasting everyone out of sheer willpower (keeping @easilydistractedbyfanfic‘s answer again)”

26. Least favorite ship? Favorite canon ship? Favorite non canon ship? NOT INCLUDING CL OR BC OR BE

Least favorite: I think Kane and Abby

Favorite canon ship: Lincoln and Octavia or Lexa and Clarke

Favorite noncanon ship: probably Niylah and Octavia

27. A song that should be included in the next season? If there had to be another guest star like Shawn Mendes on the show, who would you want to make a cameo?

I don’t know to be honest. Though if I had to choose a guest star it’d be Hayley Kiyoko, just because I think that she is awesome

28. What would you do if you were stuck in the bunker with Murphy for all that time?

Be bored as fuck, and if they had the tools I’d try to figure out how to take random objects apart and put them back together(hopefully I’d succeed, though I would steal the camera from Murphy to record what I do so that I can check what came from where)

29. You’re an extra that gets killed off. How do you die?

I’d probably go exploring somewhere and get lost

30. A character you’d like to learn more about and get flashbacks of?

I think Shaw, because he was talking about some war where Diyoza fought in and I am interested in what happend before the firs time the world ended

31. A character you’d bang?

LEXA AND OCTAVIA

I REPEAT, LEXA AND OCTAVIA(I am very gay okay)

and also Raven

32. Would you stay in the Bunker? Go up to Space? Or live on your own in Eden?

If they would let me I would stay in the Bunker. The Space thing wasn’t as planned, and I wouldn’t survive on my own in Eden

33. In the Bunker, would you follow Octavia? What would you do to pass the time underground?

Yes. And I would probably try to learn how to fight and how to speak trig(I really like the language okay), and then the basics of skills like healing, sewing, which foods are edible and which aren’t etc

34. What crime would you commit in the Bunker that lands you in the fighting pits?

It would probably also be that I try to get away from a place with too many stimuli and then if someone tries to stop me I’d make them let me go. Especially if looking at the fights in the pits was an obligation (though I somehow feel like I would be more likely to get to talk to Octavia, well Blodreina, and explain it and maybe be allowed to stay away from all the noise, and if needed clean up the bodies and process the meat as reminder of why you shouldn’t break the law or something. At least more likely than that I’d be able to organize anything like that on the Ark, but don’t know why I think that)

35. Up in Space, who would you bond with first? Who would be the most difficult for you to get along with?

I think I would bond with Raven first, because she would be able to explain to me how a lot of stuff works so if I see an opportunity I would ask her a lot of questions and only continue asking about things she seems to get exited about. It would probably be more difficult to get along with Bellamy because I just don’t like what seem to be his thinking patterns and his morrals

36. How long do you think you would last on Earth by yourself?

Not at all

37. When the Eligius ship lands what do you do?

Watch, observe and learn. Learn who they are, what they do, when they do it, how they respond to different situations, who holds what kind of position in their group and what their intentions might be or how I could learn those

38. Favorite Eligius character? Least favorite?

Favorite is Shaw, least favorite is McReary

39. Would you Spacewalk?

Legally yeah, not worth the risk of getting caught though

40. Would you prefer to eat Windshield Bugs, Space Algae, or Bunker Meat?

Space Algae, seems to be the easiest to throw down and not have to chew

41. Would you start a war for the last spot of green on earth? What would your solution be to avoid it?

I wouldn’t start a war, but if a war has already been started(officially or unofficially) and attempts to end it peacefully fail I will try my best to finish the damn war

42. Would you rather dig out flesh-eating worms or stick thumb drives into bullet holes?

I’m fine with both

43. Are you willing to poison your sister for the Traitor Who You Love? What would you do to stop Octavia?

Depends on what my sister does and what the traitor did but probably yeah

Generally speaking I wouldn’t stop Octavia. I would only talk to her to try to stop her from burning down the farm, so that I can gather a bunch of different kinds of seeds and everything that might be ready(the medicinal plants probably don’t all grow in the one green spot left) and THEN I would let her do her thing

44. Would you go to sleep in cryo or stay awake like Marper?

I would probably stay around for a bit, to process things and explore, and then I would go to sleep

45. Who are you waking up first to explore the new planet?

Raven, Shaw, Niylah, Octavia, Jackson and Diyoza, though they probably wouldn’t just all get along perfectly
