Ten Bears A-Tiering!

[for-mer-ly-geneposting]

ive been obsessed w/ bad Kid Stuff video game records lately. and just the fact that Wir Universe Kid Stuff one thousand and ten percent made records for fix it felix jr is imploding me on impact

im imagining some kid in the 80’s begging their parents to get them The Fix-It Felix Junior Album after hearing wreck-it wreck-it ralph only to be faced with a slapdash minimalist analog synth fever dream feat Obnoxious Cartoon Voices and Bizarre Lore Additions with the occasional shockingly good song

can we come together as a fandom and make this a reality

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS SMUG ASS BITCH

Forty Days of Frankenstein, Day 11:  Sometimes following the Frankenstein leaves you with more questions than answers.  Case in point, this record album, from 1978.  It’s from Kid Stuff Records and it purports to tell the story of the novel *Frankenstein* in two 11-minute sides.  And, how?  How are they going to do that?  And more importantly, why?  Why would anyone do this?  I just have my doubts that that is in any way a good idea.  I’m pretty sure that 22 minutes after starting, what you have is some traumatized kids.  What I will say is that, based on their repertoire as listed on the back cover, Frankenstein is very definitely not their usual, which runs more to things like *Alice in Wonderland*, *Pinocchio*, and various Grimm’s Fairy Tales.  So, also, who?  Who chose this?  I may never know.  And, well, nevertheless, here we are.  And I have to say, whatever else, that I do love this artwork.  While the monster’s image is hewing closely to the standard set by the 1931 Karloff/Pierce makeup, including neck-electrodes, flat head, and greenface, we get the interesting detail of two different color eyes, which isn’t something you usually see, even though it seems like a pretty obvious idea.  I also like that the artist has made the decision for the Pretty Good Sport Coat™ (that is, as we all know, de rigueur monsterwear) to be in this case, manifestly a fashion-forward green corduroy.  All in all, including the background of standard Mad Science Castle™ and dead tree, I give this portrayal a hearty green thumbs up!

What did they do to you

[violent138]

Superbat parenting babies would be a breeze in my humble opinion. Bruce's medically well-versed enough and immune to even enhanced interrogation levels of sleeplessness, and loves kids and would probably be happy reading them stories to sleep every night.

And Clark could always tell if the kid swallowed fridge magnets/batteries/something else. Also, tell me which baby wouldn't enjoy Clark's presence and calmness. They'd be like little hamsters cajoled by the steadiness of his hold.

Okay so I have a lot of thoughts about the whole thing of the Gerudo being a race of entirely women, with the only exception being one man born every hundred years, and that man automatically being their king. Now this worldbuilding comes from Ocarina of Time, and there's obviously a metric fuckton of unfortunate implications there, because it was 1998. And it seems that Tears of the Kingdom is sticking with the lore of Gerudo men being extremely rare and becoming the King of their people, which once again has a metric fuckton of unfortunate implications because it's 2023 and Nintendo has somehow gotten even worse about this shit.

But let's set aside the whole... everything, and look at this from just the in-universe perspective. How does it work? I mean, it's pretty clear that there is no overlap between the kings; the old ones are normally long gone by the time a new one is born, but the Gerudo manage to take care of themselves during the hangtime. So they must have an established system of government and leadership that doesn't involve a king, and somehow that system is set up in a way that does a smooth transfer of power once a new king is born and old enough to take the throne. But why bother always declaring a random guy to be your King when you already have a perfectly functional system in place?

I mean again, the whole thing has a lot of sexist implications, but we're not looking at this from a real world context, we're examining it in-universe. And we could just go the lazy route and say that their king is in charge just because he's the only man, but I don't like that. I mean come on, the Gerudo are a race of entirely women, and most of their outside problems come from Hylian men being creepy about it. They are entirely a matriarchy; there is literally no reason for their culture to have an inherent respect for men, even if the man in question is one of them. And they're desert people; they live in an extremely harsh and dangerous landscape, if they don't have their shit together, they will die. By sheer necessity, their culture needs to put a lot of value in being practical, because if they're stupid about things, people die. They really can't afford to have a shitty leader take over, and just letting some guy take the wheel doesn't really fit with the way their culture must otherwise work.

So again, why the fuck do they bother having a King?

I think it's mainly just a ceremonial position. Yes, if the guy is a good leader he'll be in charge, but if he isn't good at being a King or isn't interested in the job... fuck it, they've already got a functional government system that's been leading their people the whole time, why fix what isn't broken? The title of Gerudo King isn't about leadership or power. I think it's more about belonging. Because the Gerudo are a culture where every single one of them can be defined in the same way... and there is exactly one exception once a century. Men are considered to be inherently outsiders at the best of times, and more often they're enemies. A man born into this culture is a natural outsider; he is completely unique, and that means he doesn't really fit into his community. And well... when someone is fundamentally different from the rest of their community, they tend to be ostracized.

So I think that's why the position of Gerudo King exists. It isn't about them needing or even wanting a man to lead them. The title of King doesn't need to involve any leadership at all. It's about giving the man born every century a place in their society. It's a way of saying yes, you are one of us, you are a Gerudo, you belong here, you are wanted and you are loved.

The Gerudo know that every hundred years, one of their children will be fundamentally different from all of his peers. And so their society is built to ensure that a child who is completely different from them will still be loved and accepted. He will always have a place in their society. He doesn't need to earn their love, he has it just for existing. These are his people.

The title of Gerudo King isn't an inherent position of authority. It's a promise of acceptance.

honestly beth and jerry have maybe my second favourite relationship in the entire show just for how interesting and tragic it is. like its brushed aside a lot in favour of other stuff but they were really both just kids... and the saddest part about them is that they maybe do love each other but its always in some way artificial
