Man, 2004 was wild for this

Dumb rant about art incoming. Something about the character design of Pixar's Elemental disgusts me. It's not just the generic belongs-in-a-heartburn-ad look of the female lead or the Generic Pixar Man (water edition) look of the male lead. It's the fact that the earth and air elementals, almost all of whom are background characters, are stout and large and round, while the protagonists (and certain water and fire side characters) still follow the obnoxious Pixar "slimthick woman, slightly out-of-shape (but not fat!!) man" rule of character design. And they're all just so, so boring. Look at this and try to feel anything.

Tom Hanks All the Way Down

We're back to ruin the holidays with a scholarly dissection of a christmas classic!* Listen along, and you too can piss off everyone at the family dinner table with incisive insight into the post-9/11 military-industrial themes of The Polar Express, and the USA's ongoing anxious spiral into full christmas derangement.

Featuring: Being Tom Hankovich, Santa's adrenachrome harvesting operation, elf rally at��Yulemberg, graphic hobo explosion, Dewey's wet cardboard box, Cami's Frosty origin story,[white knuckled] it matters where the train is going

*Allegedly, arguably. Classic status debatable.

honestly it probably already exists but i would kill for more horror stories set in the arctic circle during winter where it's unclear if the threat is supernatural or if the darkness and isolation in the freezing polar night is just driving the characters slowly insane

I DID THE THING

EAT, MY BABIES

This was inspired by a recent post suezums (Instagram) made about a polar express AU. I took off. Would you believe me if I even said I started brainstorming a fanfic to rewrite the movie.

hoohoo... snuggling with Foul Legacy by the window of his little house in Snezhnaya, watching the snow drift down to the earth in fat white flakes. it's freezing out there, but you're curled up with the fireplace burning bright, cozy and warm and loved. everything is lit up, not too bright, warm, softly glowing lights, and you nuzzle into Foul Legacy's lilac fluff. it's soft from where you've brushed it over and over again, tickling your nose just barely.

you sneeze, and Legacy lets out a low, grumbling laugh, bumping back up against you. there's a ribbon around one of his horns, tied into a lopsided bow- you did it yourself, because he is your best, most wonderful present.
