who are these fraggles you keep preaching about i would like to know more about them

OMG!!! FRAGGLES

They are the product of Jim Henson (if you have seen a puppet he was probably involved. Some of his most popular peices of media are The Muppets, Seasame Street, Labrynth, Bear in the Big Blue House).

The fraggles are from his TV show Fraggle Rock (1983). The fraggles live in a hole in the wall of Doc and Sprokets house.

In this hole there are three species, fraggles (yippee), doozers (builders), and gorgs (they call themselves the rulers of the world, fraggle haters)

The series focuses on Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober (my favorite), and Red. They are just silly guys exploring and learning about eachother and the world around them!!

At the same time Gobos uncle, Uncle Matt explores "outer space" aka the human world and sends post cards to the fraggles about his adventures.

In the end, our main fraggles become freinds with everyone, even the gorgs!!

I grew up with the series my family owns them all on DVD set, and it's one of my favorite Henson projects :3

They released a new version on Apple TV+ recently, but I'm not that big of a fan (admittedly I went in judgemental because I hold fraggle rock in such a high light and I should probably give it a second chance.)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!! I LOVE TALKING ABT MY BABYS!!

[aphroditesanxiety]

My brother came up to me last night and told me he was reading percy jackson now. This morning he told me he was starting with the Labrynth, lol, and i said okay, but if you want to start from the beginning you can borrow my books instead of the library's. I have all of them, no surprise. I told how excited I was that I get to share this with him, I mean cmon!! This was such a big part of my life, and still very much is!! I would LOVE to help him find something like that! And he told me he found my favorite books! So now he wants to read them!! And as a kid who doesnt like reading at school that much, this makes me so happy that he found something he's interested in!!!! I waited outside with him for his bus like every morning, and we talked about the series and how much it helped me (vaguely, hes still eight), and I mentioned how not a lot of people liked that I read those books. How they told me not be so excited and to calm down about it and how our mother wanted me to stop letting it have that big part of my life. He told me "but thats not nice!! These books made you happy, why wouldn't they want you to be happy?" As I teared up, I told him I didnt know. I told him not to let anyone make you ashamed of what you love. Never stop being yourself, never let go of the things that make you happy and never stop being excited about the small things, especially if they're actually big things, even if no one else can see why they're so special. I told him when I get my liscence we can go have some brother-sister time at the libraries to read the books I dont have, and to find some cool new ones to read. And he asked if I needed money for my license, he can get his piggy bank. I told him I love him and he gets ice cream on our first sibling field trip. I wished him well off to school and now im crying to myself, because I've never been able to share this with anyone in person before, let alone my family, and now I have the opportunity to help him find the same joy in the riordanverse as I did, maybe in a different way but happiness nonetheless. We all have adhd and he has already said it makes him feel less weird at school. And he's one of the popular sports kids. I am so so so very happy about this, oh my god.

My last trans Yu-yu essay before the finale.

Listen. Yu-yu Kondo is not cis. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There’s a lot going into this headcanon, and a lot of reasons it may very well be canon. I’ve layed out many of them in a previous essay, but today I’m gonna look at stuff I either newly discovered or that was newly released. Starting off with the most recent episode (minor spoilers). One of the main metaphors uses throughout this episode was that of a dress. Now, I probably don’t have to tell you that dresses are associated with femininity. For Yu-yu specifically, this metaphorical dress that their friends have woven around them is associated with comfort. Now, why would someone choose a dress as a metaphor for comfort? Perhaps because dresses are something that comforts them, as they comfort many transfems, myself included. Next point- the actual footage of Yu-yu wearing a dress. This metaphor of Yu-yu’s friends providing “comfort like a dress” is inter-spliced with footage of the first episode, where Yu-yu met many of their friends while wearing a dress. Now, the question we must ask ourselves is, why did the creators choose to put Yu-yu in a dress in that first episode? Why did they choose to remind us of that in the penultimate episode? Why is “dress” used as a word throughout the series, for both series names and for the names of most keyword abilities (overdress, dressboost, revoldress, X-overdress, unison dress, dress up)? It’s been said that writers never put in details for no reason. Why would dresses be so heavily associated with the series and with Yu-yu themselves? Could it be that the writers are priming us for the idea that Yu-yu could be a girl? Maybe. Once again, I’d like to point out that Yu-yu uses a dress as a metaphor for comfort. This is an extremely transfem feeling.

Next up, the speeches. I’ve talked about some of Yu-yu’s heavily trans coded speeches before, but I’d like to point out that Yu-yu averages one speech about being yourself, finding yourself, accepting yourself or staying true to yourself per season (none that I remember in season 1, two in season 2, one after Danji and Tohya’s fight and one during Yu-yu’s fight with Mirei, one in season 3 during their fight with Raika, one in season four during their fight with Urara, an none as of yet in season 5, with one episode remaining). The themes of being oneself is constant throughout Yu-yu’s characterization, and is a theme that resonates with many trans people, myself included.

Now that I’ve explained the in text evidence for Yu-yu’s gender, let me explain out of text reasoning that Bushiroad might choose to have their newest protagonist come out as trans. First off, the Bridget effect. When Bridget came out as trans, she skyrocketed sales of guilty gear strive to 1,000,000 copies. A character being trans brings an extreme amount of attention in today’s sociopolitical climate- it’s a hot issue, and will lead to countless discussions from both trans allies and bigots, furthering the promotion of the franchise to new heights. In addition, Bushiroad has said that it’s important to them for every player to feel represented in vanguard. What better reason could there be to introduce a new type of character?

Bushiroad is no stranger to queer undertones and even the occasional queer overtones, from Kai and Aichi, to Miaki and Kourin, to Rummy Labrynth, to team New Nippon where it wasn’t even undertones that boy just straight up told his teammates he had a crush on them. This is not only possible, I feel it’s likely: Yu-yu is a trans character, it’s engrained in their identity and story, and I truly believe that Yu-yu coming out in next week’s episode will be the best possible conclusion to their story. What better way to end a story of self acceptance, then with becoming oneself?

reverse hot takes on etrian odyssey?

Honestly Etrian Odyssey spoiled me on grid-based dungeon crawlers. It's the golden standard that I hold everything else to. When I started playing SMT1 I was disappointed I didn't get to make my own maps. When I learned that the Made In Abyss game was 1) not a grid based dungeon crawler, 2) not very good, and 3) the entire series was actually made by an out-and-proud lolicon, I was mad. When Labrynth of Refrain took the same concepts as EO and did them worse (and with bonus lesbophobia) I got so pissed off that I just uninstalled the game. Etrian Odyssey is not a perfect series by any means (especially having the same issue with the character designer as MIA's author) but like. I have never ever found a game in the genre that I enjoy nearly as much

[tourniqitty]

maybe i'm missing something cause i haven't played every legend of zelda game but what's the significance behind the owl the boar and the dragon in totk, it's a part of the hero's aspect yeah, but the outfit itself feels reminiscent of the statues you're meant to encounter first in the depths, it has zonai garbs and symbols and even the owl, boar and dragon each have their own respective 3-part temples (labrynths really but ya know what i mean) evidently it also seems like they're the first being to ever wield the master sword so it just makes me think that those three (gods?) beings played some major role in the beginning and the hero's aspect being the final shrine reward just doesn't seem like a cute little thing like the one in botw was

it'd be cool if nintendo was foreshadowing something but i have zero clue what they intend to do with loz as a series from here on and honestly i just hope they don't fall back into the comfort zone that was every loz before botw and after ocarina of time essentially, most of the games are good and fun imo i just want nintendo to stop playing it safe and ik it's for kids but the lore always fascinated me and i just think they can do so much more with it and gameplay-wise i'd like them to expand on the foundation they've established and not just have it be the new formula for loz

Fav movies/shows/books (•v•)?

Awww thank you for the question!!

My favorite movies are pretty all over the place. I really prefer anything that's kinda dated LOL...I love 70s/80s/90s films. But here's a list

Constantine (#1 fave.)

Blade Runner (Sexy android shooty time + Young harrison ford)

The Mummy (Brendan Fraser...jfhalskdjfhals)

Labrynth (PUPPETS...and some of David Bowies BEST tunes imo)

Alien (Love that freaking goofy ass xenomorph)'

Shows are a little different. I like a lot of trashy "historical" dramas like Tudors and shit...honestly I just like trash. But for my FAVES:

Star Trek (DS9, Voyager, Next Gen, TOS...in that order)

Lie To Me

Elementary

Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries

Silly shit like Psych, and Scrubs.

AND WWDITS

Books!!!! UHHH...I don't read much, I'm gonna be honest. I read a lot of fic. (I know...I'm trying to read more.) I read a lot of self help books and things like that honestly. And comic books. I read a lot of comic books.

In the Company Of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez (Honestly everything by this author is so good to me...just really silly and funny with like...dark themes and stuff and I enjoy that.)

The Savior's Champion + The Savior's Sister by Jenna Morecci (Dark fantasy. Very violent. Saucy)

Hellblazer (This is a comic book series but...seriously my favorite thing ever. John Constantine could not be more of a pathetic, sad, bisexual meow meow)

3 ships: Wolfspider, ..., (hm, there must be others), ..., uhhh griddlehark and rosemary? Saying you "ship" a canonical pairing seems like a misuse of the term but they both have ship names so I guess they work

First ever ship: If I try to seriously answer this then you'll have to read several pages of analysis of the term "ship" and what it does and doesn't apply to. None of which will be at all accurate for anyone who actually engages in fandom. So to simplify things lets just say rosemary.

Last song: "Tripoli" by Pinback. Its a rainy day, kind of suits the mood.

Last movie: My local arthouse theater was showing The Holy Mountain, saw it on a whim. It's pretty good. Certainly a few very memorable scenes. I will say that while I'm not a fan of the "dude how HIGH do you have to even BE etc etc" response to weird art, I probably was not in the intended headspace to fully appreciate it.

Currently reading: Oh lord. Okay gonna limit this to what I've actually picked up the past week. I've gotten to the second chapter of Umineko, I'm on 9.4 of Ward, I'm still working my way through "The Donatist Church in an Apocalyptic Age," I've just finished "Sword of the Lictor" in the Book of the New Sun series and am starting "Citadel of the Autarch," I'm making good progress on Borges' "Labrynths," and I've just started a book on Henry Darger that is way too psychoanalytical for me to take as a good piece of scholarship but is nonetheless interesting to read through. Oh and a bunch of the scholarship on Hardwig's "Duty to Die" argument and its various counters.

I probably need to sit down and just finish one of these. I'm not gonna though

Currently watching: I've been watching JJBA on and off for a bit, currently in early part 4.

Currently consuming: My third drink from the same teabag.

Currently craving: Lentils over rice and beans.

what's your love language? which book or movie impacted you most growing up?

Hello!! Thanks for asking <3

My love language for me to other people are quality time and gift giving. But my love language for my partner to me are quality time and words of affirmation.

The book or movie that impacted me the most? Hmmmmm. That's hard cuz I was a book and movie/tv kid.

Uhhh, I have a couple in no particular order:

Movies: The dark crystal (positive), labrynth (negative), A little princess/ the secret garden (positive), the hunger games (positive) Books: Vampire Academy (first big series I finished), Icefire (first big book i read to completion), The selection (only book series i can read when in a reading slump)

I'm indecisive as hell when it comes to media so I apologise for that, BUT my answer is as true as it can be.

[jennay]

Hi my love, here I am to ask you a random question to know you better✨do you prefer movies or series? and write your favorite ones 😌 mwah

Hmmm kinda depends on my mood I guess. I love tv series just because I have a short attention span. 😂 movies have to really pull me in or I’ll play on my phone through it.

Usually I'll watch anything horror movie related or a good comedy.

Some fav Tv shows right now are

Supernatural

Wednesday

Disenchantment

Bojack Horseman

The Sandman

Sweet Tooth. (so cute/sad/good)

current movies I like are

The fundamentals of caring

The Dirt

Labrynth

Dope

Okja

So many more I can't think of at the moment. I like dark shows. Crime documents are a fave and anything to do with sharks/ocean. I'll watch documentaries for hours. 😂 I do enjoy Disney/pixar movies. Tim Burton...

Sorry that was such a long boring response. Thanks for asking though 😘💜

Word Count: 1275

Note: This is a part of the Labyrinth series, where I recount the entire FNAF story as I see it, through the eyes of the characters. I will be posting them out of order, but there will be a link to a masterpost with them in chronological order here. This is part of William Afton’s story. Enjoy.

Narration

  My heart pounded in my ears. I could hear it over air coming in and out of my lungs, hard and heavy and frantic. Nothing felt real. It was close, I could feel it. It was getting closer and closer, I could practically feel it at my back. It would catch me. I couldn’t let it catch me. 

  My eyes jumped around the room, searching for an escape, a weapon, something. I’d basically built this place, no one in the whole world knew this place better than I did. Where could I go? Where could I hide? The answer came to me suddenly, ringing in my ears, sharp and undulating, like an aluminum bat hitting a metal pole.

  The backroom.

  The backroom was my safe space. It was meant for blood to be spilled, for final screams, for the rush I felt when someone took their final breathes, for accidents that no one else would know about. It was made to cover things up. It was made to hide.

  I skirted down hallway after hallway, passing rooms with lonely tables and abandoned toys. I looked for the room, the one tucked away from customers and cameras. There. I tried to turn the knob, but my shaking hands and racing brain made my fingers slip and slide over the brass. Eventually, I managed it. The creaking and scraping of metal on linoleum was getting louder and louder. I slammed the door shut.

  The first thing I noticed about the room was the smell. It smelled of rot and sweat and blood. The room was dingy and made entirely of soulless concrete. Scattered patches of scarlet blood stained the walls and the floors. A moldy, golden fursuit lay in the corner farthest from the door. When I laid my eyes on the familiar bunny suit, all I could hear was screaming.

  So. Many. Screams. All of them overlapping, but I could hear them distinctly, somehow.

  I heard Charlie’s muffled cry as a knife entered her chest.

  I heard Susie’s wail for her long dead dog.

  I heard Cassidy’s wordless scream for help.

  I heard Jeremy’s shriek of horror as Gabriel let out his own scream of pain.

  I heard Fritz’s call for parents who would never come.

  I heard the familiar scream of every child whose light I snuffed out.

  But, then I heard ones I’d never heard before.

  I heard the mournful howl of the parent’s of those same children whose lives I took for myself.

  I heard Elizabeth’s scream as her life was consumed by my own creation.

  I heard my son’s cry of fear cut short by the jaws I had crafted with my own two hands.

  I tore my eyes away from the SpringBonnie suit, and the screams cut off abruptly, leaving me with my churning stomach in a grim room filled with nothing but pain and fear. For a moment, for one moment, I felt guilt rise to choke me, but a pounding at the door caused everything to freeze.

  Shit. Fuck. Shit, it saw me. Fuck, shit. What do I do? I’m trapped. My eyes darted over every corner of the room. What could I do? There was nothing here, only windowless walls, blood, and--

  The springlock suit.

  That… thing after me. It wanted revenge, didn’t it? It was them. The ones I’d locked underground with my daughter. And the suit. I always used that one, when I lured them. I could never bear to wear FredBear after what happened to him. They would be scared of it, surely. They were monsters now, but, deep down, they were still children. It could protect me.

  I scrambled to put it on. I tried to be careful of the springlocks, but the pounding on the door grew louder and louder, and my hands were too shaky and my mind too scrambled. I secured the parts to my body as best I could and then I waited. It was trying to break through the door. It managed to dent the metal but it held strong. Reinforced doors. I wasn’t stupid. I tried to control my breathing, tried to calm down, but my heart still pounded in my chest and my breathing was only slightly less rapid. Then, suddenly-

  The noise stopped.

  The world came to a halt, as did my breathing and my heart froze in my chest. My mind raced, but whatever thoughts went through my head, I couldn’t tell you. They disappeared as soon as they came, evaporating into the void. The door handle began to slowly turn, and I could feel my chest start to scream for air. It had learned how to open the door.

  The door creaked open agonizingly slow. The door blocked my view of the hallway outside, so I was forced to watch as that thing slowly slinked in. Metal parts and wires wriggled and writhed as it slithered into the room. It’s shape was vaguely humanoid, though cables and cords dragged behind it like intestines on the outside of someone’s body. It wore the head of a Funtime Freddy model, though it was dirty and broken. It locked eyes with me and we both froze.

  “You.” It said, it’s voice a chorus of metal scraps and static, the undertone of a Funtime Freddy voice box mixed in. 

  I swallowed, but said nothing. It did not approach. A beat passed. Then another.

  With a jolt, I realized that I was right. It was afraid. My thoughts had been frantic and not at all rational, but I was right. The relief swamped me, overwhelmed me, and before I knew it, I was laughing, feeling lighter than air.

  I laughed,

  and laughed,

  and laughed.

  I didn’t notice the springlocks of the suit loosening, nor the shift in attitude of the creature in front of me.

  “Fitting, that in your attempt to escape us, you end your own life.” It said. Before I could even pause to consider what the hell that meant, I heard a snap.

  Shit--

  A choke cut off my laughter as thousands of tiny metal rods pierced my throat, my skull, my limbs, my whole body. I gurgled as blood filled my throat, and I doubled over and collapsed on the ground. Blazing agony shot through my whole body as I began to drown in my own blood. And yet, laughter still danced in the air, mocking my pain. It… That creature was laughing at me. Rage set my body alight, and hatred bloomed in my chest. It was laughing at me, mocking me. I wanted to scream, I wanted to curse, I wanted to kill it, to break it down into small little parts and melt it into nothing, I wanted to hurt it. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t do any of those things. I couldn’t even think. I could only writhe in pain on the floor, every movement sending a jolt of pain through my entire body. In that moment only three things existed. Pain, anger and laughter. 

  And that’s all there ever was. Even after the creature skulked out of the room, and the door shut, taking the light with it. The laughter echoed in my head as I lay twitching on the floor. Blood pooled around me, joining the stains of those children I’d killed, but the pain and the rage and the laughter never faded. There was a distant part of me that wondered why I hadn’t died, but to the rest of me, it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that I was going to hurt it. I was going to hurt it so much worse than it hurt me.

[stanning-reyna]

Nah but the way Nico and Percy both view their relationship so differently and neither of them are even right about it

Like Nico definitely thinks no one cares for him and if Percy does anything to help him it’s only cause Percy feels obligated to as a hero vs Percy who thinks Nico wants nothing to do with him but knows he can’t leave this kid alone so he forces himself into his life

They have the relationship of the middle child experiencing an existential crisis and the youngest child who suddenly entered the real world and both of them need therapy
