Raven beak's deep secret

art dump of this silly fan concept.

[fierykitten2]

Okay, potential headcanon:

The belt makes Falcon immortal and he’s still alive long after he would’ve otherwise died. Robert dies at some point but Falcon brings him back with the power of the belt and grants him immortality (whether that’s the automatic result of bringing him back to life, something he forces the belt to do or he just revives him every time he dies is not something I’ve thought much about). Robert’s death is known to the public so the two of them hide away, maybe returning to the races in the future (I don’t think it’s subtle they may be addicted to the racing life) under different identities with different machines (or the same machines just customised differently. Or maybe just the same machines and they just claim they’ve got some kind of heritage reason to have them. I mean, technically it’s true for Robert)

Oh yeah Falcon probably does the same (forced immortality, I guess that’s the option we’re going for here) next time he sees his Smash friends (Samus, Fox, Mewtwo and Lucario) just without any of them dying. As a bonus, Mewtwo and Lucario get away with this by proxy due to them being part of a Pokémon species. And just to ensure they’re (especially Samus) not alone, he also grants any partners the have in their own universes (outside Smash) immortality (Madeline for Samus, Falco for Fox, Ogerpon for Lucario and I haven’t thought about Mewtwo. Oh yeah Ogerpon is because her backstory is surprisingly similar the my headcanon for Lucario’s backstory (I haven’t done a 180 on MewCario though don’t worry I just headcanon Mewtwo as jealous. Actually, being as strong as it is, especially with it having access to Mega Mewtwo Y, I would worry a bit for Ogerpon’s sake). Uhh… Ogerpon might not get away with it as easily as Mewtwo and Lucario)

Also good to know autocorrect knows how obsessed I am with the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords (damn, I nearly gave myself an achievement for making an F-Zero post without bringing those six up)

'Blazing Saddles' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. When it comes to comedy, it’s all a matter of opinion. Comedy, even more than film criticism, is subjective.  For example, I’m not an Adam Sandler fan and I find his films terribly unfunny, but there is a reason why his films keep getting released by studios. There is really no right or wrong when it comes to…

Hello!! I was looking for non-fiction books of butches and femmes that mention bisexual butches and femmes too! I guess that's a very specific thing and difficult thing to ask for but I was hoping if you knew some? In the end, I'll take any and all butch femme non-fiction books you know of please! 👉👈💖

hello! okay so don’t wanna promise bisexuality in all of these because that’s tricky to do without having read each cover-to-cover*

that said, we do have some recs! I’m going to split this up two ways;

Non-fiction (not memoir)

Butch is a Noun by S. Bear Bergman

Persistance: All Ways Butch & Femme eds. Ivan Coyote & Zena Sharman (& it’s precursor, Persistent Desire: a butch-femme reader although sadly it’s not available as an ebook for us to purchase)

The Life & Times of Butch Dykes by Eloisa Aquina

Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold by Elizabeth Lapovsky Kennedy & Madeline D. Davis

& one essential we haven’t gotten around to buying yet: Female Masculinities by J. Jack Halberstam

Non-fiction (memoir)

Burning Butch by R/B Mertz (also in audio)

Pregnant Butch by A.K. Summers

Rust Belt Femme by Raechel Anne Jolie

Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H. (also in audio)

& before anyone asks Stone Butch Blues is NOT in our collection, but that’s because it’s available for free, as a pdf, directly from Leslie Feinburg’s website

Whenever I see art of Samus getting shipped with Peach or Zelda, I'm kinda torn. On one hand, it is genuinely cute. On the other hand, I always feel a little bit annoyed that she's stuck with crossover ships by default instead of anyone from her own actual series.

On the other other hand, that annoyance then makes me feel guilty for both being kinda ungrateful for the cuteness, and feeling a little bit like a gatekeepy asshole toward Smash-only people. (But it sure is easy to tell apart Samus fanworks based in Smash from Samus fanworks based in the actual series, regardless of the presence or lack of crossover stuff.) Plus in fairness, the only viable girlfriend candidates at present are either Gandrayda or maaaybe Madeline Bergman, and for various reasons, both are pretty easily-overlookable characters even within the fandom, let alone outside it.

But then on the other other other hand, there is a wiki, and people can just look it up...

Anyway, this is why Retro or Mercurysteam just needs to give Samus a canonical girlfriend, so we don't have to rely on crossover stuff. The more weird and alien she is, too, the better.

[lord-rodentia]

The Other M experience but I have very minimal energy left of today.

Several things:

Yes, I had a lot of the "it's so ugly it's cute" moments, yes I genuinely see her as adorable, Yes Adam actually does give a smirk but it's so hard to notice (he gives a brief one that's barely even there), I did already know about the whole James Pierce thing, and yeah, mid stage Ridley is just a wet dog thingy, he's so ugly I love it.

However the drawings are all I remember right now, I'm actually near endgame so, 👍

Oh yeah, I literally had problems reading the map because my brain is not adjusted to open world Metroid (yes, other m is open world to me) and my brain can't understand the fact doors can be close enough to eachother that they look like the same door on the map.

(apparently through tag research, I just learned that I'm absolutely stupid and that the name to Melissa Bergman is different from Madeline Bergman. I promise my attention span is better than this if it's explicitly said as Melissa in game.)

[fierykitten2]

Sometime two years ago (I specifically remember it was so early on in the SV hype cycle we didn’t know Paldea’s name yet. So basically anytime in the first two thirds) I made a post where I assigned starters to the trio I refer to as “the Afterthoughts” (Falcon, Samus and Fox. I call them that because Nintendo doesn’t seem to like their sci-fi series much. Metroid’s an exception now but it’s had some problems with it in the past too). Now, I want to assign starters to the characters I ship them with the most - Robert, Madeline and Falco for the sake of this post I’m gonna pretend I prefer SamusxMadeline to FalconxSamus. There are some patterns again I’ve unintentionally fallen into - Falco almost always has the same starter as Falcon even in regions without a birb start, Madeline frequently has the same starter as Samus and Robert… well I guess he tends to default to Fox’s starter but I’m not really noticing when that happens as much as I am with the other two (I am slowly noticing every time I fall into that trap). Also I could have waited an extra few months so that I could make sure to assign them starters in a way so that they each get a Z-A starter like how I’m doing for both trios with the Hisui starter trio but I came up with the idea today so I’m doing it today

Kanto:

Robert gets Bulbasaur

Madeline gets Squirtle

Falco is left with Charmander

Johto:

For some reason I’m really tempted to give Robert Cyndaquil (this has nothing to do with their eyes I just think until it evolves Cyndaquil gives off some kind of Fennekin vibes and there’s no way I’m missing the opportunity to pair the guy who owns the Golden Fox with a starter that reminds me of Fennekin)

Madeline gets Chikorita

Falco is left with Totodile (I swear I’m not always saving him til last)

Hoenn:

Falco has to have Torchic

The other two are hard to pair up but I think Madeline only just works better with Mudkip than any of the other three possible pairs

Robert ends up with Treecko. This annoys me because this is who I paired Falcon up with (for reference he does end up with Blaziken it’s just I decided there would be a whole trade thing going on in Hoenn after they’ve all had the chance to fully-evolve their starters). The strange thing is, this is the only pair in Hoenn that annoys me for that reason despite all of them having the same starter as their partners pre-trade (Samus starts with Mudkip and ends up with Sceptile while Madeline gets Mudkip, Fox starts with Torchic and ends up with Swampert while Falco gets Torchic, Falcon starts with Treecko and ends up with Blaziken while Robert gets Treecko)

Sinnoh:

Falco gets Piplup

I just think Robert makes most sense with Turtwig out of all the Sinnoh starters (even Piplup)

Madeline is left with Chimchar. I hate it too but someone has to have that ugly monkey

Unova:

Robert and Snivy

This is mainly because I worked out the other two Hisui starters first but Madeline gets Oshawott

Falco is left with Tepig. I don’t understand this pairing either

Kalos:

Robert has Fennekin. There is no way he doesn’t get Fennekin

I guess Madeline and Chespin makes sense. Why not

Falco is once again left with the starter I paired up with Falcon - Froakie

Alola:

Falco and Rowlet (this one was obvious bc birb but can I please pair him up with a starter that I haven’t paired Falcon with)

Somehow I just think Madeline most makes sense with Primarina so she gets Popplio. She’s either nicknaming it Melissa or Samus even though it’s most likely male

This leaves Robert with Litten. Given out of the three of them he matches Incineroar’s build most… idk what to say about that I just wanted to point that out

Galar:

I’ll be honest this one was the hardest to pair up. Robert and Madeline both seem like they’d be sympathetic enough to choose Sobble but in the end I decided to pair Robert with Sobble

Madeline gets Grookey

Falco finally doesn’t share a starter with Falcon as he gets Scorbunny instead (genuinely this is the only region he doesn’t share with Falcon. No one shares with their partner in this region bc they all get the starter weak to their partner’s choice. Also somehow I forgot that my ships and who seems to align most starter-wise is not the same for the blue birbs and gold foxes so I accidentally ignored how both Robert and Fox have ended up with Sobble)

Paldea:

Falco once again shares a starter with Falcon - Quaxly (good choice though. Not that I ever give them a bad choice the two worst starters belong to Samus/Madeline although I don’t like Totodile that much)

Robert and Sprigatito. It makes slightly less sense but I actually prefer pairing him up with Spriggie than I do pairing him up with Fennekin (few reasons: a) I prefer the Sprigatito line, b) it matches my insistence on Falcon having a Quaxly/Quaquaval, c) I tend to ignore Skeledirge’s existence while thinking about Meowscarada and Quaquaval and this just gives me an excuse to do that)

Madeline is left with Fuecoco. Once again, I hate that I have to do this but someone has to end up with the ugly croc

And then Hisui is Robert with Cyndaquil, Madeline with Oshawott and Falco with Rowlet

Yeah sure I can count up just how many times Robert shares with Fox, Madeline shares with Samus and Falco shares with Falcon:

Robert shares five six out of eleven (I’m gonna count Hisui separately and I’m counting Hoenn twice) with Fox - Bulbasaur, Turtwig, Fennekin, Litten, Sobble and Sprigatito

Madeline shares six out of eleven with Samus - Squirtle, Mudkip (pre-trade), Chimchar, Chespin, Popplio and Fuecoco

Falco shares nine out of eleven with Falcon - Charmander, Totodile, Blaziken (post-trade), Piplup, Tepig, Froakie, Rowlet, Rowlet again and Quaxly

Forever touched that the Metroid series is ultimately about beings who are compelled by their most intense emotions - love, instinct, whatever you want to call it - to act irrationally, to do things they would never normally do:

Old Bird did not have to adopt Samus, but he couldn't help it.

Samus did not have to spare the Baby, but she couldn't help it.

The Baby did not have to save Samus from Mother Brain, but it couldn't help it.

Madeline Bergman did not have to treat MB like her daughter, but she couldn't help it.

The SA-X did not have to save Samus from the Omega Metroid, but it couldn't help it.

Esta semana se cumplieron 50 años del estreno de Blazing Saddles, una de las comedias más innovadoras y mordaces que ha hecho Hollywood. Fue dirigida por Mel Brooks, quien también coescribió el guión con Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg y Alan Uger. Blazing Saddles fue un éxito de taquilla y, si se considera la inflación de los precios de las entradas, sólo es superada por The Exorcist, The Dark Knight y Barbie como la película más taquillera en la historia de Warner Bros. La película obtuvo tres nominaciones a los premios Oscar, por edición, canción original y actriz de reparto para Madeline Kahn.

La noche anterior a su estreno en el Avco Cinema de Westwood, WB realizó una proyección de Blazing Saddles en el autocine Pickwick Drive-In Theatre de Burbank. Esta función especial de Blazing Saddles en el autocine de Burbank fue gratuita para todos los que asistieron a caballo.

Have you seen this?!?! Madeline Kahn, no less! Where has it been all my life? And the rare happy ending!

This was quite funny and so Bergman. 

I went looking for a version with better quality and I think this one might have a slightly higher resolution:

What a great find. Thank you!
