Still thinking about the new Defunctland video and I am happy that this time, Defunctland managed to UNITE Latin Americans, Southeast Asians, AND older Americans through ONE video.

The Kid City video felt like Defunctland saw that some of his non-US audiences noticed that his content, while amazing, are very US-centric (though not his fault), and decided to cover a theme park trend that came from outside of the US (and is big outside of the US) this time.

I know that it's probably coincidental. He probably intended the new video to be ABOUT the American theme park chain Wannado but during his research, discovered that the concept of Wannado originated in Mexico and through that, found out about La Ciudad De Los Niños (part of the origin story of Wannado -- which came from Mexico, and is big in Latin America) and Kidzania (which took off in Asia), then....well, the video now is about something that non-US audiences can reminisce for once!

That's MAGIC and now i feel glad that now I can follow Tumblr's Defunctland reaction posts without feeling left out for not being American, for once.

It's also interesting how some Southeast Asians latched onto discussions about La Ciudad De Los Niños with Latin Americans in the wake of this video too. Truly, Kevin Perjurer has ignited a small Latin American-Southeast Asian solidarity moment.

On a more humorous note I see a number of Americans going "wait we do not have this in the US" (since Wannado closed in 2011) and I'm here like "THE TABLES HAVE TURNED, AMERICANS. WE SOUTHEAST ASIANS CAN HAVE OUR DEFUNCTLAND MOMENT NOW"

hot take: las nevadas four does not queue up a c!q redemption arc. las nevadas five makes some interesting forays in the direction of comeuppance but fails to make the narrative link between that comeuppance and, ultimately, any change. the reason for this is because the prison arc is inadequately integrated into ln4 and ln5. (i'm writing an ln5 essay rn and this is my prompt for you to join me in hell)

i think people who think LN was heading towards a c!quackity redemption arc were tripping fr 😭 like it's not that i would oppose the idea of c!quackity like, even heading in a different direction. but he didn't? he literally didn't. his interactions with c!slime were never examples of c!quackity realizing the dark course he was taking and changing his ways--if anything, they were a reason to double down? he makes a literal slime army in LN5 like. a literal slime army.

i feel like it comes from this misconception that c!Quackity's whole deal revolves around how he ~cares~ for people, and when he felt betrayed and whatever by the fiances and such then his heart froze over and he went for ambition instead. and therefore learning to care for something can unfreeze his heart and make him good again, or something (<- oversimplified). but c!quackity's deal isn't that he closed his heart off to love? like c!quackity's issue is that he's terminally insecure and therefore kinda terminally self-centered--even in c!karlnapity, he was frequently portrayed as being insecure as hell about c!karlnap and preferred when the attention was on him. when c!karl was freaking the fuck out at him in LN4, his immediate reaction to c!karl like having literal memory loss was to scream at him.

all of this is way oversimplified for the record but it's like.

like, c!quackity and c!slime isn't about redemption as much as it is giving c!quackity an opportunity. and what we largely see, honestly, is c!quackity caring about c!slime...and also grooming him to be like, the successor of his country, seeing him as something malleable that he could use to create another version of himself. it's not that c!quackity was necessarily seeking to harm c!slime, but was he being manipulative? i mean, yeah???

and yeah, for sure, LN4 and especially LN5 heavily suffer from a lack of the prison being properly addressed. the prison and c!dream in specifics haunts c!quackity throughout the entirety of LN--any conclusion to this arc no matter what direction c!Quackity took needed a proper resolution to the prison imo ???

like i don't hate purpled's revenge quest, but bringing it back to purpled-quackity-slime Again in LN5 after the conclusion of LN4 made that all hit a lot less hard. i liked the c!punz scene tbh and i also liked c!dream's ditching las nevadas, but that also feels a lot less impactful when he had like, five lines and barely a confrontation (fuck the internet connection there FR). like, c!Quackity rejecting change isn't bad in itself, but it feels like later parts of las nevadas emphasize his decisions less in favor of what's done to him, and what's done to him doesn't feel enough like a consequence of his own actions. furthermore, so much about Las Nevadas and the Prison (the revive book in specifics) has everything to do with self-centered ambition moreso than revenge, and it feels like that in particular gets kinda poorly addressed? like, the deal with c!Purpled doesn't have to do with revenge, he's not really taking revenge on Purpled--he is, however, ambitious and doing everything that he thinks will make Las Nevadas Great, and the whole thing with him still continuing doggedly on LAS NEVADAS!! even after alluvthat is much more of a commentary on his relationship with power and ambition than on revenge.

this is kinda scattered (like the LN finale LMAO!) but yeah. las nevadas is literally created as a response to imprisoning c!dream, the beginning of this arc happens in parallel to the beginning of his visiting the prison, so having c!dream play as small as a role as he did in the latter two streams really ends up hurting the arc as a whole when so much emphasis had been on c!quackity and ... violence? both outside of the prison and inside it. having c!quackity come to terms with the fact that he does in fact suck fell kinda flat without properly addressing the ways that he actually does suck...? anyway yeah not the best essay kat dorry

yo, Yo, YO! My Matt peeps!

I’m gonna continue the series of turning Zatz and Maya into different species of bats and birds (don’t worry I got something for Chimi, Rico, and Picchu as well).

However I’m conflicted on which bird to turn Maya into.

These two were my next options. A parrot and a Toucan.

And yes, these species, along with the other ones I did, does also affect Mayas helmet.

In the meantime, expect a Zatz one😉🦇

"That's," Forrest broaches, "quite the outfit you have on."

"Thanks," Cecil replies. "You, too. I wanted to try matching with what other people in town have on. Blinding colors. Ghastly, even."

"Ha, yeah. Well, it is the trend now, I guess."

"What year is it?" Cecil asks.

"Hm?" Forrest starts to smirk.

"What year is this?" Cecil asks.

"Only '87. What year is it where you're from?"

"There isn't one right now," Cecil answers.

"Ohhh," Forrest hums. "I see. That sounds like it'd be great for someone's complexion."

"It is! Except when it isn't. Depending on the time of day, people can turn to ash in an instant."

"Well, no wonder you're visiting here, if you're into people turning to ash in an instant."

I find the greatest thing about you is that even with being so beautiful on the outside it's your soul and personality that are truly mesmerizing to me even if I don't speak as often as I would want to I love each one of our interactions and conversations I remember at one point I needed up talking about to my big sister all about our interactions and how much of a great writer you are for almost an hour I didn't even notice how long I was going on for until I saw my sister half asleep. When I thought about this my mind wandered off to Amor and how she once complimented me on how she saw me as the sun shining through the trees and I remembered that and thought about what I see you as and you honestly remind me of a starry night but what would perfectly describe you would be a meteor shower amazing, bright, unforgettable, a phenomenon, and of course something that always makes anyone's eyes light up :]

(I hope this adds a smile to your face Kat)

oh lotus 🥺🫶 i'm died i dead seriously i can not tell you how overwhelmingly happy that this just made me. to be compared to a starry night in such a pretty way is such a compliment, it really does mean so much to me, i love you so much, you are just so.... you are such an amazing and beautiful and gorgeous girl. i too get all giddy and excited whenever we interact and i replay it in my head all day. it is so fun interacting with you, it always leaves a smile on my face talking to you.

i truly, truly, truly admire and love that heart and soul of yours, you're so sweet and kind to everyone. you're magnetic, cosmical. amor is right about you being like the sun, glowing bright and warm. the epicenter of daydreams.

honestly you're like summer itself. strawberry lemonade in the heat waves of july, luminescent glows of a lightning bug's heatless fire. humble, peaceful and tenderly soft moments that bloom in your heart like fuchsia leaking it's carnations to the world. oh, how generous you are, to share your beauty and kindness with me. thank you, my love <3
