#kermit has become really fun to draw

[trashhumanbeing]

Kermit sketches I'd like to share! A mix of the actual puppet and the plushy version. All based off actual images I randomly found

[mx-piggy]

just a quick sketch based on walter’s kermit t-shirt.

so i’m not really an artist, but i used to take art as one of my subjects in school. i wasn’t overly good or bad at it, but having my work graded, achieving some of the lowest grades in the class, constantly being ignored by my teachers, feeling like i was doing everything wrong and that i wasn’t good enough and having to draw/paint/etc something that i didn’t really care about sort of ruined the idea of making art for me, and i figured i’d never pick it up for a hobby as a result.

it’s now a couple of years later and i’ve started wanting to find a way to depict my ocs without being confined to picrew. so, i downloaded the app sketchbook to try drawing my ocs, and i was so happy with how the sketches turned out and the drawing process in general that i decided to try sketching some other stuff. this is how i ended up with the above sketch. it’s not perfect, and it’s not overly impressive, but i had fun making it.

and, that got me thinking: isn’t that the point of the muppets? to create things that you want to create, even if it isn’t always something perfect? at the very least, that’s the mindset i’ve taken on board ever since i watched kermit’s ted talk on creativity.

the confines of school have, to an extent, damaged my creative spirit, but the muppets have helped me to find a joy in the idea of creating in more ways than just writing, something in which i’ve always been far more confident.

i definitely won’t become an avid fan artist who creates intricate, beautiful illustrations, and that’s okay; as i said, i’ve always been more of a writer, anyway. though, i think i’ll be doing little doodles like this a lot more often, because it brings me joy to express my love for a piece of media in some way.

if you ended up reading this whole thing, thank you. this has sort of been weighing on my mind for a while, and sharing it has been cathartic.

Tag Game To Better Know You! Send this to people you'd like to know better!

Thank you so much @sunfl0wer-power for tagging me!! This seems so fun! And also, sorry, this is gonna be long

What book are you currently reading?

I’m a library science student, so I’m reading a bit of everything. But some books that I’m reading for fun are To Kill a Mockingbird (my favorite book), Daisy Jones and the Six, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. All these books are amazing and I recommend them for everyone if you’ve not read them!

What do you usually wear?

Usually just jeans and a tee shirt most of the time. Whatever’s comfortable to be honest, but I always always wear my wooden peace sign necklace and 2 bracelets on each arm because I think it helps with my balance (it does not, I’m very clumsy)

How tall are you?

In all honesty, I’m 4’9 or 4’10, usually I wear boots to give me some extra height

What’s your star sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or historical event?

I’m a Libra, my birthday is October 13th and I’m not 100 percent sure about the celebrity birthday, but according to the Library of Congress, the construction of the White House started on October 13th, so that’s fun!

Do you go by your name or a nickname?

So, for the most part, I go by my name, which is Kasey, but we’re also Southern, so my family has a lot of nicknames. Some of them are: Kase, KK, Issy, Sissy and The Wee One, which is what my dad calls me.

Did you grow up to become what you wanted as a child?

When I was a kid, I wanted to be six foot and married to Brendan Fraser’s character in The Mummy, so no, but I had high hopes 😂

What is something you’re good at vs something you’re bad at?

I feel like I’m a good listener, and my sister says I’ve got Biblical like patience, so that’s fun. I’m bad at letting certain things go, like I hold certain grudges I guess?

If you draw/write/create what’s your favorite thing that you’ve done created?

I don’t know if this counts, but I wrote my undergrad thesis on Women in Protest Music, specifically Appalachian women, and I’m really proud of it.

Dogs or cats?

Dogs. I’m allergic to cats, and my sister has a barn cat and I’m pretty sure it’s Satan reincarnated.

What’s something you would like to create content for?

I’m not super duper creative, but moodboards seem cool. Like mini Pinterest, it’s cute. I also used to write poetry, and do embroidery, so maybe I’ll get back into that? Who knows?

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with?

I think I tend to hyper focus on a lot, but my main things are Hozier, Dolly Parton, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, Greta Van Fleet, and for some reason, Kermit the Frog?

What’s something you were excited for and turned out to be disappointing?

I was really really hoping to get tickets to Stevie Nicks last year, and right when I had them in my cart, Ticketmaster crashed, then when I went to check them out, they were like, $400, so that sucked.

What’s a hidden talent of yours?

I can shoot a bow and arrow, and I can kinda dress a deer. Not really hidden, we had to learn in school, but I act like I don’t know so my Pa doesn’t make me help him skin deer when he hunts. It’s gross.

What’s something you wish you had at this moment?

My Masters degree, a better job and concert tickets.

No pressure tags: @weightofdreamssss @sinners-go-to-drink-the-wine @m1rkw00dpr1ncess and literally anyone else who wants to do it, I enjoyed it! 😊

[rovickies]

Well there’s no “supposed to” you’re allowed to prefer whatever ship you like, whether it’s likely to be canon or not!! If you like 2 characters’ personalities/dynamic together better, you don’t really need to change that for anyone.

(hi, sorry we’re not mutuals but i was just looking at the rovickie tag for content and saw this post so i thought to respond and give my thoughts)

But for me personally...I recognize that Ronance had more actual interaction and development so far, and I do ship them, but I think canonically it’s intended to be platonic so I didn’t get that invested in them as a potential couple tbh. Robin actively encouraged both Steve and Nancy to go back together, so I don’t even believe she’s supposed to have any implied romantic feelings/crush towards Nancy herself. They have an acquaintances to best friends arc IMO, and a platonic bond is NOT lesser than romantic chemistry, so it’s still really satisfying for me that Ronance just becomes close friends and confidantes.

Having a strong female friendship is super important, especially when 1. Nancy had lost her childhood best friend Barbara and has been carrying the guilt of that for 4 seasons. Having her get close to and open up to Robin is a great development (it doesn’t have to be a romantic connection, although of course that’s still fun in fanon.)

2. Just because Robin is a lesbian, doesn’t mean she can’t/shouldn’t have platonic friendships with other girls. Having the difference between her platonic relationship with Nancy and her romantic feelings for Vickie is a good move. WLW, lesbians especially, are often shied away from close friendships with straight women because they’re scared to be perceived as creepy or other harmful stereotypes (see Robin’s lines about how if she asks out the wrong girl she’s a town pariah etc etc.) So having a healthy friendship with Nancy where she doesn’t have to be afraid of that is also good representation, bc she couldn’t really do that with her crushes (Tammy and Vickie) without worrying about her sexuality being a problem.

Meanwhile I enjoy romantic Rockie for the potential of what it could be, with the hope/expectation that they’ll have more scenes and development in season 5! Part of it is like “I’m gonna be here supporting them BEFORE s5 makes them a popular ship and it’s suddenly cool to like them” which I’m aware isn’t the best reason but if you’re enough of a hipster, you too can succeed at shipping like this!

But also I think what we did get out of s4 was enough of an introduction that we can see Vickie is a sweet, cute, funny and unique person. We have to trust that Robin knows her better than we do at this point, because they at least spend time in band together if not outside of school, and she describes her as her “dream girl” (super adorable.) Robin also appreciates Nancy’s qualities, but that doesn’t mean she’s in love with her—Robin knows what she herself is interested in romantically which is a quirky girl like Vickie!

Vickie not just laughs at the muppet joke but adds onto it comparing Tammy’s voice to Kermit; she returns a movie to the video store paused on a boobies scene and later says she should have broken up with her bf as soon as he trashed Fast Times for having no plot, like the AUDACITY; and her rambling does show that she has a trait in common with Robin but it’s also to show reciprocity of feelings, being nervous around her crush. But then she goes on to being sassy and silly (FLIRTY) plopping a sandwich in front of her and saying “It’s a gift. You’re welcome.” (R: “Oh you really shouldn’t have”) “Oh, but I did!!”

So you don’t have to like Rockie better than Ronance just because it’s closer to being canon, you can just prefer whichever dynamic you like better!! And the draw towards Ronance is understandable with what we have in s4 so far…

But for me the fact that Rockie are such implied endgame material makes me sure that they’ll have more about them to love in s5 with beautiful sapphic love scenes incoming…while Nancy is going to have to finish having her “love triangle” between Jonathan and Steve. (Nancy being bisexual is a good headcanon, love Ronance for fanon, but canonically speaking, her 2 love interests are men and the writers have already spoken on how they’re going to have to complete that plot next season. Meanwhile Robin canonically has feelings for Vickie who is implied to reciprocate and they’re probably going to kiss and be adorable together so I’m HERE for them. We also don’t know if Ronance are even going to spend a lot of time together in s5 or if they’ve already completed their arc of becoming friends and will be in separate groups next time, but we know for sure that they’ll have to develop Rockie sooo)

That’s my take!

Mutuals please help me like Rovickie/Rockie better than Ronance!!!

I get that I'm supposed to, so please help 😭

Tmnt 2023 Fan theory because why not

Note: My theory is almost based on this piece of paper so there is not gonna be a lot of images related to raph kermit. Pd: sorry for my english.

1: Leo write the note

August 11, 2023, is the date for the movie to release

Science 1: is that a class that he takes? Is he teaching himself science? Does he go to School? If he does, is he a human or a mutant? We don't know if mutants are welcome in the movie, if there is a special school for mutants or if he is a normal teenage boy taking notes.

2: T M= Teenage Mutant

N=ninja

Te= turtles / tertles?

Are they related to the mutagen?

What if Leo is taking science class and his teacher is teaching them about the mutagen? Maybe how it is composed of how the students can make their own version? We do not know if in this universe the mutagen is completely common and is just another topic for the class.

Also, can we talk about his handwriting, why is it so bad? Is he a lazy student? Is he in detention and doesn't feel like writing? What if he was a human before, with his five fingers, but after coming into contact with the mutagen. Now he has three fingers and it is difficult for him to write?

3: Beautiful

The L that we can see on his shirt refers to his name L=leo

Note that instead of drawing a turtle, there is a human. Does this Leo dislike the way he is and wants to be a human? Or is this the drawing of a Leo becoming the ninja warrior he dreams of BUT the man has 3 fingers instead of five, is that important? It would be fun if Leo (mutant) had an alter ego as a human ninja and that would be the mask he wears.

Let's remember that the film could be about the beginnings of the brothers in ninjutsu, how beginners are they?

4: PICASSO

Honor and Loyalty are two important words, maybe they reflect the education that they have or the way Leo interprets that those are qualities for ninjas or being the leader.

5: Okey, so this is a direct confirmation to us that they already know April and they are all friends so maybe in the movie we are not going to see they first met. But we still don’t know her age or her design.

Also, Leo used ! in his note so maybe he or the 4 of them did something to piss her off or they argued. (PD: I just think is really cute that Leo had to write that down)

6: MUTAGENNNN

How do the guys know it?

Is the movie gonna establish the basis for us or are we gonna see their first interaction with the mutagen.

Theory 1:Human!Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mikey somehow find mutagen and end up transforming them into turtles. Let’s have in mind that this draw is in Leo’s science notes, maybe a teacher (bAXTER STOCKMAN) shows to his class the mutagen, maybe the mutagen is common in this movie or this was a discovery that for some reason find its way to the guys. Maybe after they mutated they are taking notes and trying to find a solution or at least know more about the mutagen.

7: This is the first thing that I noticed and made me want to share my theories.

Why did Leo write that? Is he that worried or lost that he has to write his insecurities out of nowhere?

Theory 1: When we describe the 4 turtles, we use “angry” for Raphael, “funny” for Mickey, and “smart” for Donnie, but what about Leo? We use “leader, the older, the blue one” for him, but maybe we never considered how he was before becoming the team’s leader. My theory is that before that Leo was the one who struggle the most in learning ninjutsu, not the smartest one, the strongest, or the funniest. Let’s imagine that his 3 little brothers were better at him in anything and Leo just ends up thinking “who am I” because he is not the big brother or leader he is supposed to be. Or maybe in this version, he is not the older one, don't you guys see how cute it would be to see a Leo with brackets and 3 big brothers? That would be amazing, if he is no longer the oldest one, he can't become the leader and the question appears again, who am I?

Theory 2: Human AU! the boys are about to become teenagers and BAAM they are mutants and they have to live in the shadows (wink wink) and run away from their home or their friends. That can explain his question, he was just a boy starting to discover what he likes and what he doesn't, and out of nowhere his life changes, and he and his brothers are treated like monsters.

8: His notes are about mutation, why?

It would be weird if Leo (a mutant ninja turtle) is taking notes about a subject that he should know, there is no need to write information about it.

Deletion: Leo draw and mentioned the 3 fingers, is this just a reference to their appearance, or is it an actual clue that supports my theory about them being humans?

Duplication: He mentions his swords, which confirm us that they have already started their training. BUT why he doesn't make a joke like this in the Deletion part, if he is already a turtle with 3 fingers why he doesn't write that down but does it with the swords?

Unintended mutations??: Why he used ?? Is this just another callback about them being mutants or are the 4 of them are teenage boys who don't know anything about the mutagen?

(The guy with the glasses)

9: Is this a figure of authority like a teacher or a principal?

Maybe this is a bully and Leo dislikes him so much that he draws him like that.

He is a human, humans are usually scared when they see the turtles but this one doesn't have any problem in nagging them. (Are they humans or in the movie mutants and humans live together?

Or maybe this is just a reference that Leo saw on TV.

10: Drama and math: are these clubs? Classes that they are taking/failing, homework, exams that they are going to have, or a schedule.

I can imagine Mickey being in the drama club, and it would be fun to find out that raph enjoys math not what we would expect because he is a hothead.

Why Donnie doesn't have one? Leo may just not know or this is a hint for a distant relationship between them.

FINAL THEORIES

Theory 1: The movie is gonna be about Leo, maybe about him trying to be a good leader or ninja and fight against his insecurities (not being the best, adolescence, or whatever). I think this would be a great opportunity to explore Leonardo way before he become the leader of the group because if we remember the art concept, the 4 of them don't show any muscle and seem way younger.

Theory 2: The origin story may change, instead they are humans (we don't know about splinter yet) learning ninjutsu and attending school, and somehow they come into contact with the mutagen. Let's imagine that in this version humans dislike mutants so the 4 of them have to be hiding. This can create a lot of drama because basically, their whole lives change and they have to find a solution that could be related to Baxter, shredder, or the krang. This theory is supported by the “Science 1”, Leo drawing himself as a human, the mention of different types of mutation, and the “Drama/Math” notes, ALSO how does a turtle have brackets? There are two possible answers, Leo was a human, or in this movie, mutants co-exist with humans.

Annndddd thanks for reading :)

Movie recommendations

For when you want something heart warming:

Ideal Home (pg-13): A lovely movie about a kid who has to go and live with his grandads that hes never met before. They don’t get along at first but when they start warming up to each other it’s brilliant. It’s also a comedy, forgot to mention that.

For when you want to watch people be clobbered with hammers:

Legend (R): Very violent film about 1960’s London and its most renowned gangsters. Tom Hardy’s acting is absolutely brilliant; he plays a set of twins. I couldn’t get enough of Colin Morgan in that yellow sweater. Warning: since it’s about gangsters there is A Lot of gore along with some abuse and sexy stuff. It’s not too bad though.

For when you want your heart broken:

Parked (pg-13): I watched this because of Colin Morgan and when I watched it I cried more than I had in a long time. I don’t want to say too much about it besides it was beautiful and well done. Its about friendship and about being homeless/not homeless enough for the system. Go watch it.

For when you want something a little different:

Shazam! (pg-13): A movie about an orphan who is given superpowers and learns the power of family. It’s quirky and has edgy humor. I was incredibly surprised when I first watched it, since I don’t really care for superhero movies typically. 

For when you want to get a soundtrack stuck in your head:

Muppets Most Wanted (pg): SEAN. Sean. Sean. Sean. I could only ask for more Sean. Sean the French cop was probably my favorite part. This movie has really good music, like every song is a bop. I’ve gotten all of them stuck in my head before (not all at once of course). Kermit gets replaced by a Russian Kermit and the Muppets go on a world tour (of Europe). 

For when you love music but can’t play an instrument:

School of Rock (pg-13): This movie is guaranteed to draw in anyone who needs artistic inspiration. It’s my comfort movie and I’ve probably watched it 30 times before. It’s an uplifting movie about a failed rock star (Jack Black) who illegally becomes a substitute for a elementary school and has them form a band. I always tear up during the montage.

For if you want to watch a horror movie but don’t have the energy:

Secrets in the Hot Spring (pg-13): A Taiwanese comedy/horror that’s definitely geared towards teens and is genuinely funny. It’s one of my comfort movies I’ll watch when I’m bored or sad. The premise is that this student and two acquaintances of his travel to help his grandparents at their hot spring, but when they start seeing ghosts- that’s when the spooks come out! This movie is actually scary but in a fun way. Its a much watch with the curtains closed kind of film.

For if you just want a comedy(even though it’s not just a comedy):

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (pg-13): I’m noticing a trend here with these movies about orphans... Anyway this movie from New Zealand is about an orphan who moves to a farm and he really enjoys himself there until... something happens, causing him to bond with his stand-offish new uncle. Them two are on the run (in the outback) from the authorities and it’s really funny and sweet.

Ivy Fairchild (Aisha Dee), 26, Female, Bisexual  ━

( hi hi, I’m tasha! and this is my daughter ivy fairchild! it’s been a couple months since I rp’d her skdkdoa This is tech an alt. version of her since the og version does not necessarily fit with the rp. you can IM me here, on tumblr, or message me on my discord dumbass#9361 )

bare with me, this is gonna be a long mess akdkdka, I’m sorry 

ivy fairchild was raised by her grandparents 

her mother died when she was 2 years olds from a car accident and her father was deployed into the army

her mother, sophia, had a one night stand with a married man. she didn’t know at first until she saw his ring on his finger the next morning.

sophia was disgusted and left, wanting to forget that night but ended up finding out weeks later that she’s pregnant

she didn’t know what to do, she was was only 23 and she didn’t want to tell the guy she was pregnant. she didn’t want to ruin a marriage and she didn’t want to raise a child alone. so she went to her best friend and begged him to help her.

her best friend, luke, was heart eyes over her so he agreed to help her with the baby and telling everyone he was the father

so she did and here came along ivy woooo ( I’m a messsss )

after Ivy’s mother passed she moved in with her grandparents who then moved back to Australia to be with family. They came back to Frostford when Ivy was 8 years old

luke was deployed into the army. she only got to see him during the times he was allowed to have vacations visit

ivy grew up helping her grandfather with the family’s farm ( since she an only child and it was getting hard for him to do it alone )

ivy loved anything that had to do with flowers, painting/drawing, and animals

ivy would constantly asked stories about her mother whenever her grandfather wasn’t busy

when she was 12 luke came back home, he was on two years of inactive, which she didn’t fully understand what that meant but all she knew was that he was home, for what she thought, permanently.

there was a lot adjusting to do for everyone

it wasn’t until a year after luke has been home that when she found out the truth about her biological father

everyone was mourning the loss of ivy’s grandfather. it was a hard time for ivy, but she was trying to be strong for her grandmother

she helped packed her grandfather’s stuff away with luke a couple month after he passed.

her grandfather seemed to have a few boxes of things that belonged to sophia that ivy didn’t know he had

ivy found her mothers journal, keeping it hidden so she could take it with her to her room when she was done helping luke. she read every single page. including the one where she talks about how luke wasn’t her biological father ( dun dun dunnnnnn ) ( aejkgr;i ignore me )

ivy was angry and confronted luke, because a part of her was really hoping what her mother wrote was a lie

but alas it wasn’t and young ivy did not respond well to any of this. her emotions were everywhere. she basically gave him the silent treatment for a long time.

ivy’s grandma tried to talk some sense into her, but she was too stubborn to listen. it wasn’t until she heard that luke was going to be redeployed due to some conflicts that she regrets not talking to him.

that was the only day ivy ever skipped school. she went to luke’s apartment instead to apologize before he left town, very emo moment

Ivy left town in August after senior year for college Auburn University

Ivy and her best friend Lucinda decided to start their own business of using honey to make candy. She majored in business and minored in social work in Auburn University

Two years after graduating Ivy noticed that her grandmother’s health was starting to become questionable. She was living on her own but she decided to move back in with her grandmother until they figure things out

They found out that her grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer

Ivy has completely taken over the family’s small farm while helping around the house and taking care of her grandmother

Luci moved in to help out with the farm so that Ivy can have more time looking after her grandmother

Ivy refused to let her grandmother go into a nursing home, even when she started getting worse. She believed she can take care of her. But after having a long talk with Luci, she finally decided to place her in a nursing home ( she still thinks about this decision and a bit of a mess b/c of it )

luke, now working with Frostford’s fire department, does what he can to help ivy take care of things when he’s not on duty.

She’s someone who tells everyone she’s fine when she is clearly struggling. She’s a mess but she tries to come off as if she’s not

She a mix of the outgoing-fun friend and the grandma friend 

She has a southern and Australian accent 

She is a sweet girl, very caring and silly. She can come off as shy in a way. She’s an active person and up for an adventure ( sometimes argsfd ) but doing thing in from of people makes her want to kermit ( she’s working on that )

Wanted Connection:

 BEST FRIENDS [1/2] -NAME UTP & LUCINDA MAE BENNET — these three have been friends since they were kids. they weren't exactly the kind of people you would expect to be as close as they were. all three different as can be, but somehow together they worked. luci was reckless and always looking for an adventure, ivy was quiet but thoughtful and rather nurturing of the others, and [open] was the glue the held them together. they kept luci in check and made sure ivy never felt left out. no matter where life takes them, they know without a doubt that they have each other and always will.

HIGH SCHOOL SOMETHING? - This muse was someone that everyone thought had a crush on Ivy or had something going on with ivy. More so the latter when they both came to school with poison ivy. Ivy didn’t know there was a secret spot for kissing ( and where the poison ivy was ) in the riverbank. Why your muse had poison ivy is up to you. There was probably something between them but after those rumors started Ivy distanced herself. Especially when the rumors turned from something innocent to slut-shaming.

FIRST SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP - this muse met ivy when they were going to Auburn University. These were two pairs that no one would’ve thought would be together. The fact that they worked was a surprise to most, considering the fact they were the opposite of each other. However, they were the same for things that mattered. After graduating they moved in together. Things started to become complicated, with her trying to start her business with luci and with whatever your muse wanted to do with their career. They did find a way to work through it, but then her grandmother’s health started to change. Her focus was completely on her grandmother, which left your muse to feel neglected. Their relationship ended when ivy came back home and caught them cheating. Your muse could’ve stayed in the apartment or moved somewhere else but Ivy moved back into her grandma’s house

ONE NIGHT STAND - someone she could hook up with 

FWB/FLING - with everything that is going on, Ivy does not really want anything serious. But she would love to have a distraction. Would that opinion change? who knows. However, the other person can also just see it as a fling and nothing serious. If they were to gain feelings is up to you.

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS/ACQUAINTANCES - Ivy grew up in frostford, for the most part. and since this is a small town, she would most likely know who a lot of people are. She was not popular like Luci was in high school. She never really felt like she fit in this town, so she tends to keep to herself. She’s outgoing and she will get along with mostly everyone, but she never lets them in the way she lets Luci in. That can start to change.

NEIGHBORS - if anyone wanna live next to farm! kefsgasgdfs this person probably sees the embarrassing parts of ivy since she forgets other people can see her when she's working on the farm. she most likely dies inside from embarrassment every time she sees them.

ENEMIES - ig anyone that does not like ivy sadfja;gasdg or whoever ivy does not like

ART STUFF - ivy loves drawing/painting! most of her paintings/drawings vary but she does focus on drawing/painting people of color since there is such a lack of it. especially with growing in a not-so-diverse town, this was her way of drawing others that looked like her. and posting it online for others to see themselves as well. But she does/can help anyone who would like to learn to draw or paint. Also, if someone wanted their wall decorated a certain way or wanted some type of logo she wouldn’t mind helping out.

1:4 – Usagi Will Teach You How To Lose Weight!

[Original Post 19/08/2013]

Alternative Title: Body Issues? LOSE WEIGHT, SAILOR FATTY

First aired: 28th March 1992

Usagi is suffering from severe body dysmorphic disorder. Despite being obviously perfect (physically at least – her brain is another issue), she’s become obsessed her weight. Like most women, she is subject to the unrealistic and harmful expectations of feminine beauty in society. Usagi’s family attempt to help her overcome her imagined weight issues by calling her fat. Upon the advice of her classmates, she visits a brand new totally-not-evil gym. Little does she know Jadeite is now trying to sell his brand new not-evil P90X workout, which is TOTALLY EVIL. How dare you take advantage of women’s image problems, Jadeite!?

The episode opens well enough – Usagi in a bath towel. This is probably the most overtly sexualised Usagi has been up to this point in the series and you know what? It’s a little more awkward now that I’m older and wiser and in my mid-20s. It becomes even more awkward when Usagi has to be given a “talk” in the dining room after she’s worried that she’s fat.

You know what her family says to her? “You’re chubby, but that’s OK” – what a lovely sentiment! Things quickly turn sour when they discuss why she’s so fat – all the eating, they suggest – and poor Usagi is left feeling like a goddamn hippo. It’s not nice.

Great parenting, guys. Really top-notch work here. This is totally normal behaviour

Luna doesn’t help the 14-year-old’s image problems. Although she normally takes the role of guiding-mother, in this episode she frequently reduces Usagi to tears by commenting on how fat she is..

Wow. This episode is a little messed up. Body image problems were becoming a major issue for the health of women, and this episode was obviously trying to discuss the issue. Unfortunately they do this by making everyone fucking crazy, even for Japanese people. It must be an early 90s thing. It’s just not that fun.

Not pictured: a balanced psyche

Aside from the uncomfortable subject matter, the episode was written and drawn by the crappy studio. I’ve decided to give the 3 distinct studios involved in the making of Sailor Moon names, just for parsimony.

1) A-Grade Studio: These guys do the important stories with the best writing, and their episodes are just gorgeous.

2) B-Grade Studio: These episodes are well written on the whole, but the drawing style is obviously different. Not totally bad, but characters tend to look a lot more hastily drawn and a little squished.

3) Ass-Grade Studio: Some animations are only 2 or 3 frames, faces look flat and sharp and the writing BLOWS. This episode is the archetype for this.

“Hey, Yoshi, your shitty 4-year-old slipped a drawing into the episode again”

ANYWAY. Back to the episode. Usagi and Naru are discussing their non-existent weight issues with 2 classmates I don’t think we’ll ever see again. Let’s call them Kermit and Miss Piggy. I think this scene attempts to vocalise the self-conscious worries of teenage girls, but things quickly become sidetracked as Miss Piggy goes on about pineapple and Kermit rambles on about how nice it would be if love made you lose weight.

Yeah, keep dreaming Froggy. Maybe you’ll burn some calories off your brain.

Hey guys, guess what? Miss Sakurada has totally gotten thin by going to this new gym, and Umino has pervert pics to prove it. The eeriest thing about these pictures is not that Umino took them, or that Sakurada clearly didn’t need to lose weight, but that she’s clearly looking into the camera and smiling in one of the photos. Maybe 14-year-old losers with behavioral issues gets her off. Oop, just made myself barf in my mouth a little.

“OK Umino, hand over the roofies and no one has to die”

The girls decide to visit the same gym, in which Jadeite is posing as a fitness instructor called Jed (BRILLIANT!). After a poorly-drawn work out featuring large beefy men instructing little girls in tight bloomers how to sweat more, Usagi decides to get the hell away from Jed’s evil workout regime, opting instead for a nice jacuzzi. Clever girl! It’s this laziness that saves her from the fate that awaits her friends – energy sucking pods in the basement! 

“Don’t worry, these ominous condom-pods definitely won’t kill you”

Quite frankly these pods are amazing. Apparently the pre-cursor state of the “Energy” that Queen Beryl loves so much is human fat. If she’s willing to give me a free liposuction, then I really don’t see the problem of donating a few pounds to the Dark Kingdom.

Unfortunately the pods are killing Ms Sakurada and Usagi’s classmates – they’re too thin! Ahh the evils of self-improvement! The real shame is that if Jadeite took only a bit of energy and kept his shit on the down-low, he’d be a billionaire.

“Billionaire? Do you know how many purple-tinted glasses for that!?”

Usagi, meanwhile, hits rock bottom after drooling after a small child’s dumpling, scaring him so that he runs off crying. She’s so hungry that stupid-lame Motoki has to revive her after she faints. Motoki reveals himself as a perverted feeder who gets off on fat chicks, and Usagi is happy to eat again! 

“I find childhood obesity hilariously attractive. Eat this dumpling.”

…Until the mysterious handsome awesome stranger calls her fat. And then Luna calls her fat. And she goes all diet-crazy AGAIN. This episode is all over the place. Actually this whole middle section is rather fun.

Usagi goes exercise-mad in the evil gym, freaking people out with her zeal. She only comes to her senses after Luna threatens to slice her face to shit – her one weakness! – and finally transforms into Sailor Moon.

“Bitch I will cut yo’ face unless you Moon Prism Power right now.”

The final fight is noteworthy for one reason – the big beefy gym instructors have been brainwashed and attack Sailor Moon when she tries to destroy the miracle thinning pods in the basement, and our heroine must kick the living snot out of them with her bare fists, all the while counting how many calories she’s losing. It’s really rather cool, or at least it would be if the animation wasn’t so crappy. Cheers, Ass-Grade Studio!

The episode ends with Usagi’s little brother Shingo playing a trick on her, leading her to believe she’s gained 300 pounds, and she succumbs to a self-destructive eating disorder. That’s a pretty good joke, Shingo.

Episode Score: 2/5 (It’s pretty bad, you guys.)

Monster Freakishness Level: 0/5 (Eating disorders are the real monsters)

Naru-chan Attack Count: 3 (That girl needs to start carrying a gun or something)

The Muppet Babies Become Actual Muppets In New Series Of Shorts 

Here, executive producer Tom Warburton explains how this new version of the classic cartoon came to be.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Where did this idea come from? TOM WARBURTON: Well, there’s always a little gap in between seasons and I thought, “How can we do something fun with the Muppets, with the Muppet Babies in between seasons while kids are waiting for the new episodes?” And I thought, “What if we…” Of course, I’ve always wanted have real Muppets with these characters, so I came up with this idea of them interacting with real kids and I talked to Matt Danner, my co-producer and supervising director, and he’s also the voice of Kermit. I said, “What if we did this?” And he has an adult Kermit puppet sitting on his shelf. So we got the five-year-old niece of one of the production assistant and we went to the park and just shot on my iPhone a little skit of going like, “Hey, I saw you go down the slide. I really looks fun, but I’m scared. Can you show me how?” And the girl goes down the slide and then Kermit goes down the slide. It’s down and dirty. We shot it in half an hour, and then I went to Disney and showed it to them and they were like, “This is great. We have to do this.” Then we had to go through the process of budgeting and scheduling and, on top of all the production we’re already making. And we did it. It was a 3-day shoot and every day my heart was just exploding with how cool it was to see the Muppeteers work with our characters. This has been a dream come true.

The new Muppets look so much like the animated versions of the characters. From the beginning [of the new animated series,] we worked hard to make the characters look like real Muppets. You feel like you can reach in and touch the little tennis ball texture that Kermit has. Animal, you can almost feel how fluffy he is and you just want to, like, rub his ears. There’s something really tactile about that and I think for viewers it really draws you into the show.

What has been the most rewarding fan reaction to the show? I think, for me, it’s parents enjoying it too. I see so many tweets and messages from people saying, like, “My kid is in his bed and I’m still up watching the Muppet Babies.” And that’s a testament to the stories we’re telling. We’re trying to tell these stories that aren’t just for a preschool audience, they’re for everyone. A lot of preschool TV, for some parents, it serves as a babysitter. “I’m going to put you in front of this show while I go put this load of laundry in.” And we want the parents to say, “I want to watch this with you, so I’ll do the laundry later.” And that seems to be really happening and that’s a thrill to see their parents enjoy this just as much as their kids.

What can you tease about season 2? As new footage comes in and the new stories come in, we’re seeing how much more fun it is than season 1 — and season 1 was a ton of fun! We’ve got lots more episodes coming out with lots of new imagination sequences that take us to new places. I can’t tell you that much or the PR people will yell at me. Disney has a lot of cool promotions and product coming out. We saw a little dancing and singing Piggy recently that came out, which is real. I have it on my desk and it just makes me smile every time I see it. I can’t wait to see what they do next.

[moralambigutitty]

so i have Thots about the stupid multiverse theory or whatever it’s called

i know this probably won’t even show up in the tags but i love rambling into nothingness so here we are! honestly this is the most Articulate i can be on this subject bc it is literally so ridiculous to think about but We Love It. 

anyway i’ve been thinking about the isaks and evens meeting up recently and who would like who and who would hate who and how they would all react to each other’s differences. so i have compiled my thoughts into a post starting with....

The Isaks

so when the idea of the isaks and evens meeting up was first brought up in the fandom, it was originally theorized that the isaks would all hate each other’s guts while the evens would get along swimmingly but i tend to disagree. how i think it would play out under the cut

you see, i can agree that the isaks would definitely be weary of each other at first. our suspicious kings (and queens)!! they would all at first be collectively staring at each other with those Eyes (you know the ones), thinking shit like “this guy really thinks he’s that cool, huh?” because you know all isak’s have that Thing where they think they’re smarter than everyone around them?? but you also know that every one of them finds that exact trait incredibly annoying in other people. oh shit can you imagine them all around each other!!! their slytherin minds!! they’re like “who does that guy think he is? fake fake fake fake.”

so the isaks and evens have separated to different areas of the room they’re hanging out in and all the isaks are quietly just smoking together while the evens are going off about some film shit that doesn’t interest any of their boyfriends. matteo like laughs to himself softly and all of the isaks look up at him like “what” and he’s just like “oh david just hasn’t shut up about this vampire movie in forever, im glad he finally has some people to rant to who understand what he’s talking about” and all of the isaks like take a minute to fondly giggle at how silly all of their art hoe boyfriends are and suddenly it’s like all inhibitions are gone!!! these boys cannot shut up about whose manz is the most dramatic and theatrical!! isak talks about how even ran across oslo in 2.5 seconds to reunite with him. lucas lallemant pulls up eliott’s art finsta that’s literally dedicated to him, describing the significance behind every single post in detail. matteo opens up about how david let him see his Private drawings on literally their FIRST DATE and the other guys are like “brooooo wtf!!!” martino breaks his silence (idk i’ll talk more about martino’s Energies later but i just feel like he wouldn’t be talking much around this group of guys. he’s so very different from all of the other isaks in my head) to tell the story of when nico stole his mom’s car and drove for like six hours or whatever to wherever marti and the boys were. oh and also they skipped a whole day of school that one time to go to milan? and they like jumped over a fence and trespassed on like private property or something to smoke together (honestly is it extremely obvious that i have little to no idea what happened in sk*mit lmao) and the other guys are like......nodding along.....just kind of going with it like....”yeah dude woah how crazy! yall really uhhhh yall really Did That” and then martino just goes back to being quiet and staring at his hands. honestly, his personality is just so......different. idk if the other guys would vibe with him tbh. like while isak and fr lucas would obviously take the lead in the convos, i see martino just sitting there, his head constantly switching back and forth between the two of them like in the cabin scene where gio’s telling him how to text nico lmao

also!! yeah no isak and fr lucas become fast friends. they’re constantly making points and just aggressively agreeing with each other like!! imagine the conversations these two would have about science! matteo would jump in every now and then with some random comment about idk evolution or whatever the topic is now and isak and fr lucas would just bust their guts laughing like idk but they definitely think everything that comes out of matteo’s mouth is like the funniest thing in the world ya know like they have that energy. justice for isak and lucas lallemant and their Chaotic Best Friend Energy. then matteo just goes back to smoking and staring at david across the room like he hasn’t just won the dundee award for Funniest Isak.

lucas vdh is there too and he’s like 100% keeping up with the conversation and adding his own little quips every now and then. isak thinks he’s funny but he’s still like Suspicious of him (bc ofc he is i mean it’s vdh!! very on brand of him!!) and they like Smirk at each other every time vdh says something Snake-like bc isak lowkey respects the hustle?? vdh reminds isak of a younger version of himself. like honestly, out of all of the remakes, lucas vdh has the STRONGEST og isak energies to me. idk why he just like exudes season 1 isak snakeness. like look at them!!!!

The Same Face.

also, robbe gets a honorable mention in the category of Remake Isaks Who Make OG Think Of His Younger Years And Tear Up A Bit. robbe’s like the little brother that somebody was forced to bring along but secretly they all love him. vdh and shay are constantly making fun of the silly tv shows that he’s always rambling on and on about. isak and fr lucas just punch them in the shoulders and shake their heads disapprovingly but don’t tell them to stop cuz they think it’s funny too

AND SHAY MY DAUGHTER dude you have no idea how amazing the guys would think she is. so we have some Class A misogynist kings in this group BUT shay might just be the exception. yall this is the girl who was talking about doo doo streaks. like she makes the other isaks laugh but in a different way than matteo does and she loves the validation! she highkey thinks they’re all annoying and is constantly saying things like “bro nah once i get my gf WATCH i am never gonna talk shit about her like yall do with all your bfs” and they just go pfftt like yeah wait until she blasts katy perry or some shit in the kitchen at 9 o’clock in the morning and you have pretend like youre into it just WATCH. WE ALL HAD TO GO THROUGH IT. YOU WILL TOO! shay says “watch me bitch!! katy perry’s bomb!”

fr lucas says he and eliott still listen to dubstep sometimes and then proceeds to get roasted by the squad when they find out that he plays classical piano lmao

also can we take a moment to appreciate our king lucas rubio bc let’s be honest he would sit down with the isaks for one second, listen to matteo talk about how he told david he loved him for the first time while discussing their favorite kermit the frog memes or something and scream into a pillow. like our one (1) mature isak king would just look over at cris who happened to tag along and roll his eyes but nope!! she’s actually like into it and immediately, she pulls up her secret meme instagram and now they’re all following each other and ugh! anyway lucas rubio gets up to go join the evens in their discussion about the fall of the 1920s noir film genre around the time shay, robbe, and vdh start arguing about who’s hair in the group is the best. he’s sensitive okay???

bro i gotta make a whole other post about the evens someday i have SO MUCH TO SAY

Long List of GrayLu Headcanons

I got this little OTP headcanon/survey thing from a variety of places - some from Tumblr, some from Pinterest - so I can’t properly credit one person for this.

Anyway, I was suffering from major GrayLu feels so I decided to write some random GrayLu headcanons via survey. It’s a long post so I added a “keep reading” link. Enjoy!

Who asks weird questions in the middle of the night and who hits them in the face with a pillow?

Lucy, being a writer, has an overactive imagination; so it comes as no surprise to Gray when she wakes him up in the middle of the night asking him how turtles procreate. Gray will give her an answer - sarcastically, of course - and proceed to smack her upside the head with his pillow.

Who worries about what they’ll look like when they get older?

You would think it would be Lucy, but actually Gray frets about it the most. He can already see his features reflecting his father’s more and more with each passing day and, although he’s never told her, Lucy knows that seeing his father in the mirror every day brings back painful memories for him. Sometimes, when Gray is getting ready in the morning looking into the mirror, Lucy will pop out from behind him, wrap her arms around him, and give him little pecks all over his shoulders while murmuring how much she loves him.

Who hogs the blanket?

Lucy for sure. Gray never gets cold so he doesn’t mind when she starts gathering all the blankets on her side of the bed, although he will give her a hard time about it. But Gray doesn’t really mind; it just gives him another excuse to cuddle up next to her at night.

Who is more likely to cry over a sad book or movie?

Both of them can get emotional, but Gray hides it better. If they’re watching a sad movie, Gray will play it off by drawing Lucy to him in an embrace to make her feel better. However, he’s also comforting himself by doing this. Lucy knows but never says anything.

Who talks smack while playing video games?

When it comes to Gray and Lucy, they can both throw down the insults. Lucy will start right off the bat, goading Gray while kicking his ass. It usually takes Gray a couple of losses to get riled up but once he does, he doesn’t stop until he’s won.

Who would enter both of them in to a talent show?

Lucy, definitely! She would do it just to mess with Gray, who would be totally annoyed at first. However, his competitive nature would get the best of him and he would pour his heart and soul into the act so they could win. Sometimes he winds up being more enthusiastic than Lucy.

Who would accidentally set the kitchen on fire while cooking?

Both Lucy and Gray are actually really good cooks... separately. When they try to cook together, they get so caught up in cracking jokes and being goofy that they forget they are cooking until the smoke detector goes off. Then they both panic. “CRAP, WE BURNED THE RICE AND NOW THE STOVE’S ON FIRE!” “PUT IT OUT, GRAY!” “HOW?!” “ARE YOU AN ICE MAGE OR NOT?”

Who would throw the other into the pool?

Gray would never dare to throw Lucy into a pool (he’s too afraid of her retribution). Lucy can’t throw Gray anywhere so instead, when she’s feeling cheekier than usual, she will full-on body tackle her unsuspecting lover into the pool screaming something random like “GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT”.

Who shops for groceries?

Both of them enjoy shopping for groceries together, mostly because they spend their time making terrible puns with various foods. “Hey Gray, if you were a fruit, you’d be a fine-apple.” “Luce, these eggs look.... eggcellent.” After about an hour-and-a-half of ‘shopping’, they realize they still only have two items in their cart.

Who kills the spiders?

Lucy hates creepy-crawlies so she always makes Gray kill them. Gray once asked her if she’d rather him just toss them outside instead of killing them but she refused. When he asked her why, she replied that she was afraid the bug would go gather his friends and then launch an invasion on their home as retribution. “And you say I’m weird,” Gray had muttered.

Who is the morning/night person?

Lucy is ready to go first thing in the morning but can still be fairly active at night. Gray is a night owl through and through; he loathes having to wake up early. The only thing that can get him out of bed in the morning is the smell of Lucy’s cooking.

Who proposes?

Although Lucy likes being independent, she is also a hopeless romantic and had always dreamed of being proposed to. This suited Gray just fine because he wanted to be the one to ask Lucy anyways. With Loke’s help, Gray took Lucy to the Celestial Spirit World and popped the question while Lyra played a beautiful melody. Lucy was moved to tears and leapt into Gray’s arms excitedly saying, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

Which one cuts the others’ hair?

Cancer usually cuts both Gray’s and Lucy’s hair. However, there was one time when the two decided to let each other cut the other’s hair.... which ended in total disaster. Gray had a Bozo the Clown look going on while each section of Lucy’s hair was completely different lengths. Needless to say, Cancer had to fix their hair and the two of them vowed never to become each other’s hair stylist again.

Which one makes coffee for the other every morning?

Lucy, being the morning person, will usually make the coffee. However, when Lucy is sick or it’s a special occasion (like her birthday) Gray will force himself to get out of bed before her and make the first pot so she can rest.

Which one likes their music on full volume?

Lucy prefers to keep her music quieter, as she usually listens to music when she writes for inspiration. Gray loves his music and prefers blasting it as loudly as he can, sometimes purposefully invoking Lucy’s wrath just to mess with her.

Which one is ticklish?

Lucy is the most ticklish; you could tickle any part of her body and she would laugh. Gray didn’t seem ticklish at all until one day, Lucy accidentally found his weak spot. It’s the bottom of his feet.

Which one sings and which one plays the music?

Both of them sing together, with Lucy singing melody while Gray sings harmony and plays the guitar. One of their favorite songs to sing together is “20 Years” by The Civil Wars.

Which one says “no” right after the other takes a deep breath?

Usually when Lucy takes a deep breath while they’re on a job, she’s about to launch into a ridiculously hair-brained scheme that she believes is 100% foolproof when it isn’t (remember Galuna Island, folks). Since Gray is the only one she’ll listen to, he’s the one who immediately answers “NO” before she can explain.

Who is a fussy eater and who will eat food even if they dropped it on the floor?

Lucy is more of a picky eater than Gray... but then again, Gray will eat anything. He’s not as obsessed with food as Natsu is but he does love Lucy’s cooking. If any bit of food Lucy cooks falls on the floor, Gray will not hesitate to eat it. After Lucy questioned why he would do that, Gray replied nonchalantly “Tastes no different, really” to which Lucy rolled her eyes and said sarcastically “Gee, thanks for the compliment”.

Who has an adorable sneeze & who sneezes so aggressively they pull a muscle?

Much to his dismay, and Lucy’s enjoyment, Gray has a ridiculously cute sneeze. Lucy’s, though, sounds like an sonic boom. She sneezes so hard her muscles jerk reflexively, sometimes accidentally slapping Gray in the process. Her sneeze is so powerful, she’ll occasionally knock herself on her ass. Gray thinks it’s hysterical.

Who has better puppy dog eyes?

Gray has cute puppy dog eyes, but Lucy’s are way better... and she knows it, too. That’s how she manages to get Gray to try things he normally wouldn’t do (like the talent show). She thinks that Gray isn’t on to her little trick but he totally knows; it’s just another one of her quirks he loves.

Who uses their words to fight & who uses their fists?

Gray, as he’s gotten older, prefers to settles fights through verbal exchange; he’ll only fight with his fists if he’s sparring with Natsu. Lucy uses her legs, even when she’s 80 years old.

Who says “I love you” first?

Juvia was constantly making declarations of love to Gray so when Lucy discovered that she had fallen for the ice mage, she decided to wait and let Gray be the first one to say it. Gray took his sweet old time, however, and Lucy thought that she might just have to initiate. Then, one night while they were on a date, Lucy made an adorable laugh that caused Gray to accidentally blurt out, “I love you!” Lucy was shocked for a moment, then gave Gray a quick peck on the lips and said cheekily, “Geez, what took you so long?”

Who makes the puns/shitty references?

They are both equally as guilty when it comes to this; however, Gray makes more puns while Lucy makes the shitty references.

(Fun Fact: Gray’s favorite meme is “Lemme smash” while Lucy’s is Kermit sipping the tea)

Who has the most scars?

It’s actually a tie. One night, Gray and Lucy were trying to compare scars to see who “won” by having the most. When they realized they both had the same amount, the competition escalated to Lucy saying, “Yeah, well I saw myself die!” and then Gray retaliated with, “I did die!” They both paused for a moment then laughed for an hour at how ridiculous they sounded.

On a side note, Gray is proud of his scars as they show everything he’s been through... but he hates seeing Lucy’s scars because it reminds him of everything she’s been through.

Who has the most nightmares?

Lucy’s nightmares are darker and scarier (comes from having an overactive imagination) but they’re not frequent like Gray’s. He's always had them but ever since he started dating Lucy, those awful memories of seeing her battered and broken at the Grand Magic Games or getting severely burned by END’s book will come back to haunt him. They both will wake up from their nightmares, panting and/or weeping, and the other always wakes up to comfort them with soothing words such as “Don’t worry, I’m here” and “We’re safe”.

Who screams during horror movies?

Lucy will freak out and scream at the little suspenseful moments when nothing truly scary happens, making her snuggle into Gray. He will wrap his arm around her and say something like, “Come on, Luce, it’s not real.” Of course, as soon as the real monster shows up, he joins Lucy in cowering behind the blanket. They have yet to make it through a Conjuring movie...

Who is a dog/cat person?

Gray is a dog person. Lucy is a Plue person :)

Who pushes the door when it says “pull”?

Lucy will accidentally push on a door and get frustrated right away. With a snicker, Gray will point out the “PULL” sign on the doorway. Lucy will give a huff and Gray will laugh... and then proceed to do the exact same thing Lucy did.

Who uses all the toilet paper without replacing it & who is left stranded on the toilet?

Gray never remembers to replace the toilet paper when he’s done with it. He’ll be sitting in the living room when he hears Lucy shriek from the bathroom, “DAMMIT GRAY HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION?”

Who always forgets to remove their headphones before they stand up?

Gray, every time. Lucy will be making dinner in the kitchen when she hears a loud crashing sound coming from upstairs, followed by Gray’s voice uttering a chain of profanities. With a smirk, Lucy will call out,“Headphones?” to which Gray replies “... Yes” in a sulky tone .

reverse idol jungkook

i always write for jungkook and yoongi but lmao i like writing for them the best so here we go…

anyway im offended nobody wants to talk about the ketchup song, i bet jungkook wouldn’t play me like that

okay so this is a reverse idol au wow

which means that you’re an idol, wow, surprise

i think for all of them it would be fun to do different kind of groups but idk for this one im going with the flow

im debating whether to make everyone in a kpop group because i mean most of us probably don’t live in korea so like…

you’re in a pop group though, we can start there!! your group isn’t like super popular, but you just released a single that topped a lot of charts and so now you’re getting a lot of positive attention and a wave of new fans!!

jungkook has been a fan from the beginning though wow surprise…

he was probably the fan that got hooked back in the predebut days (so are you kpop??) and he was the one that made shitty gifs on his moms desktop and uploaded the to the good old tumblr

from the beginning you were his fave tho like there is no denying that

you had a certain charm about you, and you always seemed so pure and innocent and you always were so open with your other members

like throughout all your mini video diary updates, you were always the one making sure everyone in the group got adequate speaking time and got to talk!!

and you’re always helping the other members when they’re struggling with a dance move or with some lyrics, like it’s so obvious that you’re the one who makes sure the rest of your members feel comfortable with what they’re doing??

yah that’s you and wow jungkook has the hots for you

just like my dad thinks winwin is hotter than flames smh

your group at this point, maybe like, you’re just coming up to your year mark??

and jungkook has been loyal all 365 days of this year and he’s like

he makes a cake??

he like makes this cake and it looks awful and later yoongi chokes on it and has to go to patient first lmao yikes

but like he gets so excited about you guys hitting your year anniversary that he bakes this cake with lots of icing and twenty times more sprinkles than that right??

and he puts like happy 1 year in really crappy writing on the top with some icing and he puts whip cream on too it looks wild to say the least

and then he puts some candles on for like the birthday of your group wow

not like i do that or anything when my bias has a birthday,,, haha,,,

okay but he uploads a picture of the cake to twitter and tags you guys or whatever idk how twitter works, im stupid

but like a lot of other fans start retweeting it or something because while comical, the gesture is really cute and sweet and kind of touching??

jung-

when did i stop saying jeongguk did i say this already

anyway jungkook gets all flushed because wow there are a lot of people talking about his cake

and guess what guys

guess what the heck what

you of all people retweet the tweet and you add a comment like “omg this is the cutest thing, thank you so much sweetheart!!”

and jungkook checks his twitter

and he just kinda

he screams and he kinda doesn’t mean to but he throws his phone and he’s shrieking and his mom comes down like boy i will beat you with a candle if you don’t shut up and his brother records his meltdown

he calls jimin and tae and the three of them scream and cry together omg like tae and jimin are the hypemen while jungkook has a come apart

he probably is one of those people that walks when he’s excited so he’s on the phone doing laps around the house and his lil puppy is trailing along all excitedly

after three hours of talking to the boys (i remember when i used to talk on the phone for three hours omg) he heads up to his room

where he promptly goes to his shrine of your group and like cries over it and hugs all three of your mini albums to his chest

he probably has like seven posters of you omg can you imagine

he would be the one to get shy when like he changes and all the posters are staring at him or something…

oh his mom probably would like come in his room all the time and if your clothes were too tight or something, his mom would cover your poster in sticky notes and jungkook would be like “mom plz you don’t understand it’s a looK”

jungkook omg also we all know my boy can draw right

he would be one of the crazy good fanartists that posts his drawings of the group (but mostly you)

and after the cake incident, his work and art gets so much more attention like he becomes a fairly popular fanartist for your group

for his birthday btw, yoongi and hoseok come together to write the worst, most cliche, cringy reader insert fanfic of you for him and he keeps it under his pillow every night

okay but also after the cake incident, you kinda sorta stalked his twitter account and you flipped out over how amazing his artwork is and all your group members crack up because you can spend hours just checking out his account and trying to somehow low key print pictures of the art

im watching a documentary in spanish yikes sorry im distracted

okay anyway your group

your group announces like a special one year anniversary meet and greet to thank the fans who have supported you guys for this time and all

jungkook is in school when he gets the notification on twitter and he loses it in class like the world is caving in around him and his teacher sent him down to the principals office because he was causing controversy

oh btw his binders at school are probably cute collages of your group thanks bye everyone

okay anyway

tbh probably tells the principal about the meet and greet

and the principal just kinda “okay…”

jungkook goes home that day and he is on cloud nine right this boy is having the time of his life like his heart has never felt lighter and he has never felt more alive in his life

he practically skips home from school (like winwin did when they played duck duck goose someone hold me)

and he bursts through the door and the smile on his face is so wide and so bright that his brother goes and gets some sunglasses

and he’s like “mom, dad, guess what! they’re having a meet and greeT”

his parents kinda exchange looks and they’re kinda !!

“well how much is it honey?”

and jungkook’s smile falters because he knows that guess what, his family doesn’t really have that kind of money right now, and the only way that he managed to get all his albums and posters was because he’s been saving up birthday and new year’s money and all

and he keeps that same smile on his face because jungkook doesn’t share his emotions and jungkook doesn’t let people know how he’s really feeling and he doesn’t want his family to know that the air has literally been stolen from his lungs

he just kinda shrugs and his voice is all quiet and he’s like “oh… it’s nothing important, i shouldn’t have mentioned it. sorry.”

he heads upstairs before he starts crying because jungkook like really got his hopes up??

and your music really speaks to him and he’s kind of developed this emotional dependence on your group and you guys never fail to make him smile and you always get him up when he’s feeling down and he just wishes that maybe he could somehow tell you all how important you are to him and how much you’ve done for him through your music and all!!

he goes upstairs and he locks himself in the room he shares with his bro and he just cries into his pillow

it’s the weekend right and that next morning he doesn’t get out of bed and he doesn’t leave his room

he won’t even open his phone up because he doesn’t wanna see everyone talking about the meet and greet he can’t go to

he’s not mad at his parents or anything, he’s just defeated like he’s loved you (guys) from before day one and now the chance to express that is slipping through his fingers

boy howdy someone is not happy with this

it’s min yoongi

surprise

he’s like i cannot not let my love,,, i cannot let this happen

like jungkook had called jimin and tae eventually and cried to them and they immediately told the other boys

and yoongi was like oh heck no my baby gets what he wants

imagine the kermit meme but with yoongi

yoongi: i gotta show the boys im cool and poised and don’t give a shit

yoongi to yoongi: buy jungkook meet and greet tickets

tbh he totally plans on doing it

like he researches it all and he figures out when they’re going on sale and that night (it’s like a week after the entire meltdown), the boys wanna go out to the karaoke bar or something

and yoongi is like i’m at work

and namjoon is like wth you’re laying on our couch

and yoongi is like “did i stutter kim namjoon do you want me to shove a hairbrush down your throat when you’re sleeping”

i just burnt my peanut butter toast and i wanna die tbh anyway

yoongi gets them, surprise!! well one for jungkook but like you get it

and he’s so proud of himself he is like i am the best in the world all hail min yoongi, king of spoiling his friends

he wants to wait to give them to jungkook but he cannot hold the excitement in so one day he just kinda heads over to jungkook’s house and traipses on in and jungkook is doing his calculus homework or something

and yoongi just shoves the ticket in his face and jungkook blinks and then he slowly realizes what’s up and he stares at yoongi then bursts into happy tears

fudge you two havent even met

okay so the day of the event jungkook probably wears a bias shirt with your name on it and he is alive okay like he brings his albums and his drawings of you to give to you because lil bun wants to like impress you??

he probably writes a note to you as well talking about how happy you make him and he’s like wait that’s creepy but jin is like no my child, no it is perfect and beautiful just like you and then he kisses jungkook’s head

the boys wait outside the event and they all have matching bomber jackets and sunglasses to be the jungkook protection squad

jungkook dies when he gets in there right

like there’s so much noise and chattering and people and he’s so uncomfortable and stressed tbh and he doesn’t feel good like he starts to panic

what if he like embarrasses himself?? what if he makes a fool of himself in front of you?? what if he like passes out or something or like gleeks oN YOU OMG

he’s like dying in line but he can’t help but keep checking you out the entire time and you are even more gorgeous in person and you aren’t even up close and personal yet…

he feels like he’s gonna die but the boys keep texting him reassuring messages and all he starts to calm down

he’s gripping everything so tight his knuckles go white

omg his turn though

he talks to all the members because you are at the end and all

and he’s like so shy and flustered but he manages to talk to them and explain how h’es been a fan from the beginning of time and he talks about all the best songs on the album and his fave choreos!! and he’s so cute and his face is all red and bright and he’s so !!!

okay i have a spanish benchmark so i should be going but

he finally gets to you and he’s like wow time to kms

he can’t even breathe like you are five inches away from him, in the living flesh, smiling like an angel and -

he kinda plops his albums down on the table and he can’t break eye contact with you to save his life and you just kinda laugh and smile wider because he’s so cute and you’re so flattered that like wow look at this cute fan??

but then he slips the drawings your way and he’s rambling on about how cool you are and how you’ve really inspired him to try new choreography and all and how he thinks you’re the most angelic person and all this other stuff

and you’re like !!

and your heart is racing because most fans are like wow you’re so attractive i love you but he’s going in depth about like you as a person and that’s so touching??

all your band mates keep glancing at you guys like suspiciously

you notice the drawings and you’re like wth is tHIS i HAVe SeeN thEsE

“you’re the birthday cake boy omg!!”

jungkook’s eyes widen and his jaw drops because you just admitted you’ve been stalking his twitter and you immediately cover your mouth with your hands and you’re like wth is this,,, i wanna die… what

jungkook just blushes and nods and smiles that cute bunny smile and your heart melts because he’s so cute and sweet and wow this isn’t very good

security isn’t feeling it though and they’re ushering you on so you quickly do like

the idol grab hands thing and you interlace your fingers and smile down at him

“im really glad i met you”

and he’s about to #die because you are like talking about meeting hIM

and you sign his albums real fast and wink before security ushers him on

but then you’re like “wait, i never got your name!”

and he just “jungkook!!”

“I hope to see you again jungkook!!”

you wave and he’s pushed off by security

the boys are in the parking lot and they’re like wth man how did it go and jungkook has the thousand yard stare

jimin shakes his shoulders and tae starts yelling and yoongi is like time to throw down??

but jungkook gets this loopy smile and he’s like “wow i am in loVE. love love. like actual love. like marriage love”

namjoon rolls his eyes and jin is like “young mAN YOU ARE TOO YOUNG”

but tae and jimin are poking through his albums and stuff and tae screams and everyone looks at him and he kinda

“man look at this!!”

in the back of the album is “hey cutie, i think i wanna get to know you more. shit, that sounds weird. i guess im saying, hot chocolate your speed?”

and then this is totally against idol code but im making this au so um

it’s your number and a cute smiley face and heart and jungkook passes out on the sidewalk

and guess what you do get hot chocolate after that

and jungkook is all nervous and embarrassed and he hides behind his face half the time and you think it’s cute…

and you guys text all the time?? like always??

you leak him lyrics and dance vids all the time and he’s like my hero…

you two hang out whenever your schedule permits but he still gets super shy whenever the other members of your group are over omg

they always tease you two as like scandalous and all but you really like jungkook!!

you like him enough to dedicate,,, a love song to him,,, on your first full album,,,

and like one day your group is on a talk show and the host is like so anyone, how about those relationships,,,

and you’re like well my boyfriend and i are-

and you’re like oH SHIT

and the boys are huddled around jungkook’s laptop, watching, and jungkook’s heart shatters because you have a boyfriend… since when…

and yoongi is like pal,,, buddy,,, amigo,,, it’s yOU

Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue

DRUGS ARE BAD MMMK!

Now I remember a time when every kids hero in the late 80's and early 90's was telling them not to do drugs. I from time to time will watch these and laugh, they are corny for the most part, but because they really don't educate you about why pot is bad. They tell you that pot can ruin your life, you'll lose your family, you won't do good in school etc. But for me personally, pot isn't the worse drug on the planet, not by a long shot. Yet people fear it could lead to other drugs. Though I personally never had the need to do hardcore drugs because I've seen it in my life to know better, people have this fear that pot is the gateway drug. While some studies believe this isn't the case, others have seen this happen. Me, I'll just drink wine (the drink that can cause liver damage, totally legal!)

I know I'm suppose to be reviewing something here. I just wanted to make a point of how anti-pot messages were ingrained in us ever since we were a kid. Yet the message I feel as we have grown really isn't as well thought out or as clear as it could of been. There are a ton of drugs out there, yet we don't know what to do if we see a drug. We need a team of cartoons from my childhood and Alf in drawing form to teach children about the evil of pot! You know what for fun let's just throw former president George H.W Bush and first lady Barbara in the mix (because kids love old people talking about their favorite cartoon characters, trying to be hip). With that we have the classic fail of the anti drug message, Cartoon All Stars To The Rescue. I remember the first time hearing about this I seriously thought it was fake. I never heard of this before, all of my favorite cartoons from my childhood getting to together in one epic special. Damn this is every kids dream. Then you start the movie and oh boy it's not a special I wanted at all.

It starts with a message from the Bush's basically giving a spoiler as to what you're about to see (geez George way to ruin the show). You know it's a bad sign when an old man is telling you that you're favorite cartoons are about to give you a life lesson. The cartoon starts with the Smurfing Smurfs. I'm not going to lie I'm not a big Smurfs fan, so who cares about Papa Smurfs smurfing up coke . Papa Smurf notices a little girl's( Corey) piggy bank and alerts all the town. Then a picture frame of Alf (who the fuck has a picture of Alf framed is beyond me) comes to life and tells a lamp of Garfield to help or he'll eat him (Oh the eating oh domestic house pets such a child memory). Soon  Alvin and the Chipmunks,  Winnie The Pooh and Muppet Babies Kermit the Frog all wake up Corey to show her that her piggy bank is missing. She finds it in her brother Michael's room who is classic drug addict stereotype, stealing money from her little sister's piggy bank.  This is where I never thought I would hear my favorite cartoon characters say the words, Marijuana and Drugs. I don't want to live in a world where my cartoons have drugs in their universe (though I have a feeling most of the writers of these shows were on drugs when writing this special).

Michael has a sick kick in the form of a smoke (voiced by George C. Scott, which is the most shocking thing about this special) basically being the bad guy getting him to do all these drugs. His character is basically devil on your shoulder saying keep doing drugs, DO IT! Bug Bunny takes him back to the past to show him how he started, which is the basic story of kid asks Michael you want to get high, sure! This was a classic tactic used to how drugs addict start their addiction. Not from a doctor prescribing them pills that they shouldn't be, not seeing their parents do this when they were younger, or dealing with a problem and seeing how the affects made them feel better without truly solving anything. Though yes most people do start smoking pot because they see others do it and they want to be included but is not the only way that drug use starts, and it's sad how they never really address this.

They look into Michael's brain as if it were a fun roller coaster (because everyone hates roller coaster especially  kids) While you can make the argument that they make the ride scary, who hasn't left a ride that was scary saying wow that ride made me look at my life a different way. There isn't a clear message as to what drugs can do to your brain, as far as brain damage or nerve damage. It's just scary clouds and ghost looking figures. Yes dealing with drugs to deal with problems is not good, but you can't just say that by saying you go up like a fun roller coaster, without showing what it can do to your body.

Then the most annoying part of this special, they sing. They sing about saying no to drugs. Yes my favorite slogan just say NO! Instead of giving Michael advice on how to get off drugs like talk to an adult, go to a teacher or seek help from a professional, nope saying no is the magical way to stop drugs from coming. I've been to parties and offered things, I do say no and they don't harass you like they do in most shows or commercials. So I guess it is magically!

The rest of the special shows Micheal his future if he continues to do drugs. Though they aren't specific about what drugs  he would be on in the future, he looks like a zombie (which I'm sure is the disease from the Walking Dead, so there the disease turns him into a walker). This is my problem, drugs work different and the side effects are different. If you're going to generalize all drugs having the same effects, you're dumbing down your message. They just show him looks terrible, you don't see if he possibly becoming homeless, getting a disease from sharing needles, show him losing his family and friends leaving him alone, losing job after job from his addicting, showing him going to jail. There are so many ways to show the real horrors of drug abuse.

The end shows Micheal stopping his sister Corey from using his drugs and he goes to talk to his parents about what he's been doing. And instead of the show ending show a number (it was the early 90's so they didn't have a website yet) they show Executive  Producers Roy Disney! I'm not going to lie this upset me the most. Most shows that had a serious message, they would at the end of the episode show you a number you can call if you need help with that specific problem they dealt with in that episode. Full House did it when they addressed Child Abuse, Disney's Doug (even that shitty of a show) did it when they addressed Eating Disorders. This show which has a lot of children's favorite cartoon character talking about a serious issue and they end it with a stupid song and credits. They do show a number, but not until the end of the credits.

You can see why this show is flawed. I get it the message they were trying to give, but it fell into the so lame and not well researched. I wish they would of showed kids a more serious tone with this. Yes I know cartoons aren't the best way to show this, but you know what is, showing real life people dealing with this. It something you can't take lightly. I mean I see people smoke pot all around me, you think these messages got through to kids back then, hell no. But you know why I don't do drugs, because I try to educate myself on what drugs can really do to you. I watch shows like Invention, read articles on the pain killers effecting communities, hell I even read Facebook posts by people saying how another person that went to my high school died of a drug overdose. This is why messages like these fail, we don't show the reality of what drugs can do to a person. They just say drugs are bad, they ruin your life... ok yes but how? I see anti- cigarette ads that show what smoking does to your body and I see that and I say no way I want that. No matter how gruesome, how horrible, how sad drugs can be, we need to show this to kids.

I'm going to end this blog like this show should of ended by giving a couple of websites you can visit if you or someone you know has a problem. Don't be afraid to help a loved one.
