Sgt: Why is this bag empty, Sir?! Bunny: ... You've just taken the sponge out?

Why did nobody tell me that Jeremy Clyde who plays Alec Carruthers in the Raffles TV show also voices Raffles himself in the BBC radio adaptation?!

Just a redraw of a scene I really liked from "The Chest of Silver" (with slight changes to make it gayer)

Well the last two days were big clowning days for everyone! Early Friday we had Chaos Dad commenting on a tweet from March.

Source: David Jenkins Twitter Next, fans noticed that the "Got a really good feeling about 2024" post that David took down from Instagram was re-added. Our friend cremeishere noticed that the post had been removed from David's Instagram after one of the cancellations (around March 22). Today however, it was noticed that it was back. Do we know exactly when it came back? No idea-- but Honking ensues!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there Lovelies! I hope you all are getting some much needed rest this weekend! It's been a lot lately, huh? The world, elections, so many different countries struggling, online -- everywhere's been pretty crazy lately. I know a lot of you have so much on your minds, and rightly so. When so much is happening all at once, seeing struggles go on in your safe spaces too can make things so much harder to cope with. It is okay to feel sad or upset if your safe space doesn't feel the same way it did right now. It doesn't mean it won't feel safe again one day. Life and situations ebb and flow, and circumstances change, as much as we always want good things to stay the same. Good things can come from change too. Our magnificent and kind friend @xray-vex shared a screenshot on twitter the other day of this tumblr post and I thought it was incredibly appropriate to how a lot of people have been expressing they've been feeling lately.

I know sometimes it feels like you have to respond to that tweet, or get into that discourse, but if you don't have the energy, just remember you don't owe anything to anyone. You are wonderful the way you are, and you deserve to enjoy your space too. If it feels like too much, take a break, watch a new show, read a new book, step away if you need to. Or if re-watching our pirate show would help-- feel absolutely welcome to do that too. Whatever YOU need for YOU. It will be different for everyone, and there is no shame in wanting to do something different to make you feel better. There will always be folks here for you if you decide to step away and come back, so don't be afraid to if you need to okay? We love you crew, we care so much about you, and your health. Be well <3

At last... Im finally done...

BEHOLD, MY INVADER ZIM OC'S!!!!!!!!

Meet Kaz and Dev! Two Irken-Human hybrids (made as such by Zim) who beef with each other and cause shenanigans in Zim and Dib's lives.

More info about them + Zim/Dib below if you're interested :] (a LOT of rambling, especially about Zim and Dib in this universe, be prepared)

Kaz : A 12 year old earth boy once a fan of the world famous "Professor's Zim and Dib". After proving himself to be the most superior amongst other fans in a raffle, he was to be made the protégée of the two men. Kaz packed up that same night and arrived to Membrane Labs with the promise to live there for the next year or two. The next morning, he was woken up by Professor Zim and taken to a lab room. Only to be knocked out and woken up 2 weeks later, completely changed. As Kaz freaked out, Zim (without his disguise) revealed himself and told Kaz what he was actually here for, to test out if human and irken DNA could coexist with each other.

After being told he couldn't return to his old life due to Zim erasing the memories of those who previously knew him, Kaz was stuck in the labs, constantly tested on by Zim. Eventually he learned that although Dib didn't know his DNA was used on Kaz, he didn't care because "what he does isn't any of my business anymore". Feeling betrayed and being put through physical pain, Kaz eventually decided he had enough and planned to ruin the reputation of the professors. But instead of exposing their experiments and running the risk of exposing himself, he took another approach.

His biggest scandal : "exposing himself" as Zim and Dib's "biological kid" on live tv as news reporter's visited the labs, lying about the two's relationship saying they were they extremely close and ruining the professors reputations through utter humiliation. After that fiasco, the professors allowed Kaz to go back to school, go out the house without supervision, and have all his biological/physical tests cut down by 80%. Even after getting back all those privileges, he still spends most of his day's terrorizing those he once looked up to.

Dev : Once a powerful and influential irken elite, now on the run from the empire after a disaster on Irk. A disaster that caused many Elites, Invaders, and Soldiers to wrongfully be re-encoded as food drones and defectives. After stealing a voot from someone in foodtopia, Dev scrambled to get to the farthest planet he could. And the furthest he could go to were the coordinates labeled "Urth".

A year after Kaz stayed with Zim/Dib, Dev crashed behind Membrane Labs and as he saw Zim and Dib rush out, he tried to escape only to be stopped by Dib. Upon recognizing Zim, Dev pleaded with the two men to let him stay and hide out with them even if just for a little bit. Once the two had a discussion, they accepted. However, Dev had to make a special deal with Zim. If Dev wanted maximum security to make sure the empire wouldn't find him, he had to let Zim experiment on him. With no other choice, Dev agreed, and after Zim learned from his mistakes from Kaz, he made sure to not have Dev change as drastically.

After being put through a series of different tests, Dev was eventually deemed stable enough to be let out on his own a few days later. As he walked around the labs, testing out his new disguise, he bumped into someone else. Another hybrid. As Dev tried to introduce himself, the other person became hostile and attempted to attack him. Before everything escalated even more, Dib and Zim ran out of their office's and pulled the two off each other. After they all calmed down, Dev was introduced to his new brother and the other child, Kaz.

Zim and Dib : After years of ruining each other's childhood's, coming to understand each other in their teenage years, and becoming inseparable in early adulthood, the two had changed the way their lives were going. For better, or for worse.

Once the time came for Professor Membrane to retire, Dib was given a chance to prove that he could run Membrane Labs. After thinking on his decision, he brought Zim to the labs and asked him, along with the Professor, if they were both able to run the labs. Shocked but happy, Zim accepted his offer, while Professor Membrane gave the two men his approval. After years of being business partners and building up their reputations, Zim and Dib became just as popular and beloved by the masses as Professor Membrane was. Becoming an inspiration by going from freaks who hated each other, to respected and becoming best friends.

However, behind closed doors the two had slowly become distant and hostile to each other once more. Out of the public eye, Dib began researching the paranormal once more, hoping to open his own institution alongside Membrane Labs, while Zim went back to making experiments in his old lab.

After another petty argument between the two, an idea had popped in Zim's mind. He went into Dib's room while he was sleeping and took some blood/DNA samples. Going back to his lab and taking some samples of himself, he started dedicating the time to making something utterly different. A plan to combine the best side's of the best human and irken into one being, something he calls, "The Zim Experiment".

And that's it for my rambling, I have so much lore and story I left outttt 😭 but this was getting so long + I want to make comics/art about different parts of their life, so I gotta be patient.

if you have questions about them or their story (or if I just didn't explain something well enough), send me asks!

Details about the Amazing Digital Circus pop-up shop in Japan (and the exclusive premiere of episode 2 associated with it)

This post's title kind of sums up the basics, but here's some background: in early March of this year, a Japanese company called InfoLens entered a licensing agreement with Glitch Productions to sell products based on The Amazing Digital Circus. The same press release also announced that they would open a pop-up store in Tokyo, which would operate from April 26th to May 12th. (If I'm not mistaken, InfoLens seems to specialize in these sorts of agreements - they've made similar deals and pop-up shops for everything from Apex Legends to Garten of Banban.) Around this time, they also started up an official Japanese Twitter account devoted to the series.

Close to a month later, they would announce more details about the shop, including what goods they would sell (a mixture of existing merchandise from Glitch's online store and newly-made ones) and plans for a second location in Osaka (running June 7-23). This also coincided with the first time Glitch Productions' main Twitter account publicly acknowledged any of this (as far as I know).

Not long after this came another announcement: they would be holding a raffle where the winners would attend the world premiere of the series' second episode on April 25th, the day before the Tokyo store opened to the public.

So how'd all this pan out? I'll elaborate below the jump, but here's a picture to set the scene:

(Source: Reika Ō, Japanese VA for Gangle and Zooble)

To start with, the Pop-Up Store itself has a number of things aside from merchandise - like the life-size Pomni statue seen above. (The design was the work of Zachary Preciado - it bears a resemblance to her AniMatez figure.)

There's also a corner decorated to look like Kaufmo's room, with a Ragatha (and, at least sometimes, Jax) cutout & oversized die (for sitting on). I believe it's meant to be used for photographs.

(Sources, from left to right: IshiiNaki and the official Japanese Amazing Digital Circus Twitter account)

Other decorations include curtains, TVs displaying promotional clips (seemingly just existing ones on Glitch's YouTube channel), a floating inflatable replica of Bubble, an equally inflatable kiddie pool holding a whole bunch of plushies for sale, and some giant pseudo-toy blocks. The following pictures collectively show all of these:

(Sources, from left to right: Soichiro Sugawara - Japanese VA of Caine & Jax - Shiori Honma - Japanese VA of Ragatha - and Columbo-san Games)

Also, while I'm not currently aware of any recordings of this, according to Arran (Pomni's Japanese VA), the store plays specially-recorded audio of Pomni and Caine. She also mentions "treasured materials" (秘蔵資料) as another point of interest, which segues into my next topic:

(Sources, from top to bottom: Reika Ō, Columbo-san Games again, Glitch Productions, and Shiori Honma)

Several photographs have a glass display in the background. Thus far, I haven't seen any closer pictures of it - given that there appears to be a "no photography/video recording" placard nearby, that'd explain why. The actual contents aren't especially clear - there's a picture of the main cast doing their bind poses at the back of the case, but the sheets of paper(?) underneath look like they could be concept art or something similar. I'm not sure. Hopefully this gets released later down the line.

With all that said, what about the advance screening? Well, as seen in Glitch's photos of the event, Kevin and Luke made a surprise appearance in person to talk about the series. While the attendees have been told not to reveal anything about the new episode until its wider release on May 3rd, one of them took notes on the experience as a personal reminder and revealed some interesting tidbits in the process. I'm not the best at Japanese, but here's my rough, sometimes rather loose translation of what they wrote:

★ The episode, as well as the announcements before and after it, were dubbed in Japanese. Furthermore, the announcement before the screening was recorded specifically for the occasion. Pretty wild.¹ ∙ Before the show: Caine + Pomni ∙ After the show: Jax ("Good to know it was just a dream"² - this elicited shrieks in the venue) ★ Before the main event began, they played the existing promo videos on a loop in both English & Japanese. ★ I expected the audience to be overwhelmingly female, but in reality there were quite a lot of men in attendance, too. ★ Kevin (the CEO) and Luke frequently said things in Japanese, like "arigatō (thank you)" and "surimasen (excuse me)." The one that made me laugh the most was Kevin saying "…Sō desu ne (Yes, indeed)… (thoughtful)" ★ The reason they held the screening in Japan was twofold: they wanted to help spread Western animation to the country & they simply love Japan. ★ Episode 2 really is good, but my brain hasn't fully processed it right now, so it's better not to get your hopes too high.³ 🥲✨✊

¹ Originally "やば" (yaba), which appears to be a variant of "やばい" (yabai). This word can mean many different things - literally "terrible" or "very bad," but also used as slang for "great" or "far-out" - and I felt that "wild" was a reasonably apt choice for this context. ² Another attendee's comments on Twitter reference this quote as well. ³ To be absolutely clear: this appears to be a warning against unreasonably high expectations (since the OP hadn't quite digested the episode at the time of writing), not discouraging getting hyped to any degree.

Another attendee had a shorter account of the experience, summed up in two tweets. (Again, please forgive me if there are any errors in these translations!)

I was chosen and went to the advance screening…! I definitely didn't expect there to be specially-recorded voice work and art (to remind people of their manners) before the show… Especially Jax's closing remarks: "'You all can leave through the exit. Ah, [but] that's none of my business." It was way too crazy, hearing the voices of the agonized nerds in the venue. It was great lol Two producers made a surprise trip to Japan and took part in a Q&A session. They said that Popee the Performer was one of the show's influences!

(It's worth noting that Gooseworx herself has mentioned Popee as an influence in the past before, specifically saying Jax and Gangle were respectively inspired by Popee and Kedamono - though, in both cases, she also mentioned that there was more to her characters than just resembling the latter two.)

To finish this post off, here's a couple more images (both posted on Twitter by Shiori Honma) I wanted to share:

Honma posts with her character's standee.

All five of the Japanese dub's primary voice actors, together with Pomni. (If I'm not mistaken, the tweet's text says none of them knew in advance that the screening of episode 2 would be in Japanese.)

Lucky Garchomp Raffle Results

Did everyone save up their postcards? Because it's time for the Lucky Garchomp Raffle! Opening up on television as well as all available streaming services! Coming to you live as a guest for the festival....

"Ladies and gentlemen and Iono Zone faithful! 'Ello,'ello, hola. Ciao and bonjour! Your eyeballs are mine, caught in my electroweb! Whosawhatsits? It's Iono!"

The colorful hostess of the Iono Zone stream series was on screen, giving everyone her sharp smile and cheerful attitude. Next to her was a giant wheel with a variety of numers. Her hand idly played with it, just itching to spin it round and round...

"I'll be your host for this year's Lucky Raffle, the theme...GARCHOMP! RAWR RAWR! I'm doing a sweet collab with Jubilife TV! Heeeeey, Sinnoh! WHAT'S UP?!"

Grinning, she gestured to a different side of the room where the main prizes today were lined up. Three nice prizes for the people who received those special postcards found only during new years.

"There are 3 prizes, one per lucky person. First places gets this lovely Garchompite, courtesy of Lysander Labs! Second place gets a life sized Garchomp plushie, produced by the Safari Zone and third place is a set of 10 Hyper Potions, brought to you in conjunction by PokeMart and the Sinnoh League!"

Nodding to herself, having done her job spelling out the prizes and their names, she was excited to get started.

"And here we go!" Stepping forward, Iono grabbed the wheel and gave it a biiiig spin!

"With a big ol' spin, here comes the first winner......lucky number 007! Congrats on your shiny new Garchompite!"

"Next up, here we go -- just gonna grab here and give it the biggest whiiiiirl-whooooo! And our next winner is...number 001! You get to walk away with a nice HUUUGE Garchomp plush! Look at this thing! It's bigger than me!"

"Last, but not least...our third and final lucky raffle winner...spin, spin, spin....! And we have 010! You get the Hyper Potion set -- bet these will come in handy!"

With the last number picked and the last prize carted off to be sent to their intended owner via Dleibird Service, it was a wrap. Iono closed off with well wishes for the New Year in her usual, bubbly way.

In honor of the Tiny Boats raffle, the @ofmd-buys-boats team had an Interview with our dear Set Dresser, Lindsey Cantrell! You can read the full thing on their substack-- here's a sneak preview!

They were kind enough to let me share the info here as well!

"Amy: What was your favourite set to dress? Linds: What a hard question. The favorite that first comes to mind is John Bartholomew's Captain's Quarters. The scene where Zheng Yi Sao leads a raid on Bartholomew's ship, and then convinces him to join her crew. The day we were going to shoot this scene was pulled up in the schedule, so during a few lunches and a few private rehearsals, I was brought over to the unfinished set to get my opinion on the status of its dress. What to add, where to move items, take away, etc. And it needed to get done quickly. We were pulling dressing from all over. Production Designer Ra and Art Director Troy really wanted it to be layered. They were discussing someone who'd lived in that space for ages. Our Set Dec team left the bones of it in a good place, but on the day we went to shoot it, we still scrambled a bit throwing items together for more chaos (some good ideas, some bad- ie: a stool ended up on top of a dresser?) I still love the way the lighting was shot through those windows and how it all came together. Plus, didn't that charcuterie look delicious?"

Source: OMFD Buys Boats Instagram

"Amy: Speaking of the tiny boats, we’d be remiss if we didn’t ask about them too - how did you make them and how long did it take you? I can testify from making repairs to our broken ones that they’re fiddly little things! Linds: Yes they are! The strain on my eyes that week! The bases of these tiny ships are custom lead molds created in the Propmakers Workshop. Next, painted and aged brown. Then, one by one I stabilized them and carefully drilled one tiny hole in the semi-center of each ship's base. Hoping each time that I didn't push too hard or for too long, potentially breaking through to the bottom. So I held my breath and got through all of that step. Off to the side, I had the makings for the tiny flags. I painted and aged what felt like a million toothpicks to start. Trimming off the bottoms of one end so they would sit flat inside my pre-drilled hole. I cut the different pieces of construction paper in a tiny triangle with one flat end, and put a line of glue on that side to place underneath a toothpick and rolled it over to hold. Some bits of my fingertips are definitely attached to the glue inside those tricky little flags. When my deadline was getting closer, I started to just begin placing the dried flags inside the bases the next day. Until I found some of them falling over by the time I came back from lunch. So then I realized I needed to add one tiny drop of super glue into the hole first. The final precise measure was making sure when I held the flag down to attach, that I was holding it straight up & down. Sounds easy enough, but if you're only looking at one side, you may be pushing the flag down and away. So if you check your other angles afterward, you'd notice it's leaning to that opposite side, as if the tiny ship is in a storm, someone told me. [...]"

== Love Notes ==

I really am so sorry I'm so behind lovelies. I hope you all had a wonderful and restful holiday season. I'm going to share a few extra love notes tonight because I've seen some really lovely stuff the last many many days -- and I have so much to say and haven't had a way to do so.

The first I wanted to share is from TheLatestKate with the message I most want to send to all of you. This year has been a hell of a time, and you have no idea how very grateful I am that you were here to share it with me and so many others, and still are.

Life can be so damn hard and sometimes it feels like you just aren't making any progress... or your impact isn't as big as you want it to be.

I wanted to remind you though that the earth spins at 1000 miles per hour (1,600 km/hr), that's 24,000 miles per day (38625 km/day)... but sitting on it, it doesn't seem to be moving at all. Now look at it from space, and you can see it rotating, you can see the light of the sun reflecting off of it. You can see all the lights on the dark side, and the clouds, and the winds, and vastness of the oceans. That's what I see in you. That's what others see in you. We can see all the wonderful things you are, and how brightly you shine because we aren't living it second to second like you are. So please believe me when I say this-- you are capable of anything, and you are doing SO DAMN WELL despite this crazy life.

Our Pirate Queen shared this one (I couldn't remember if I'd shared it before, but here it is again if so!). Your softness, your creativity, all of that is your strength and I will die on that hill.

Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you for being a part of this little community called the OFMD fandom. This crew is phenomenal, and it has brought out so much love and healing in me (and so many of us) this past year. You are beyond a doubt some of the kindest, most badass people on the planet, and I am so very happy I get to share what little bits of time I can with you. I am slow to respond to things right now because of how crazy life is, but please know I'm here if you need me. I want so very much to see you succeed, and grow, and bloom in this crazy messed up world we live in. You are the change, and the softness this world needs, and I believe whole heartedly that each time you are kind to someone, you emit a wave of change that makes the world a better place. Rest up lovelies. Happy New Year <3

There are so many moments in the raffles tv series where I have to ask ‘why would they do this if not to imply that bunny and raffles are gay?’
