Re: Cu Chulainn:

Alas no arm wrestling.

Does he ever trip into mud?

Not notably in either text, though one presumes that battlefields have plenty of it.

WHAAAATT WHEELIE?? i actually find it kinda funny cause i like wheelie for the exact reasons you dislike him 😭😭 hes child like whcih made him silly and only speak in rhyme I THOUGHT HE ATE THOSE RHYMES UP HELPP

- dazedpainter

He's a good rhymer but that grows tiresome real quick with a squeaky multi-layered voice (or when it is a block of text like on the tfwiki page) xD

I was never big on the "token" child character in cartoons where the cast is mostly adults (Transformers, M.A.S.K., etc), especially when the child character isn't the focus but just "one of the big cast".

Writing a child character in such situations is tough, and not many writers can pull it off. They either make the child too childish or don't behave like a kid at all. Heck, plenty of writers can't even pull off teenagers. Writers definitely have gotten better at it but back in the 80s and early 90s? Woof, the token "kid" characters had it rough.

In my opinion, Wheelie wasn't a needed addition to the 80s movie because we had the Dinobots for the slapstick kid moments and Daniel (son of Spike Witwicky) to fill the child quota. Human child, sure, but still a child.

Wheelie had no background in the movie either; he was an Autobot kid on some random planet who randomly appeared. How did he get there? Who knows! Why was he alone? Who knows! Why does he only speak in rhyme? Who knows! Was he just some added plot convenience for less than five minutes and then "forgotten" about for the rest of the movie? Absolutely. He was there to lead the Dinobots to Hot Rod and Kup and yeet a ship at them, that was it.

He gets a bit more screentime in the later Transformers' cartoon seasons and the Headmaster series, but when it comes to the movie, he was one of the new additions for Hasbro's "BUY OUR NEW TOYS!" marketing. I mean, that's basically what the 80s movie was; a huge commercial for a new line of Transformers toys. Kill off most of the old cast (I believe it was like 15 main line characters they killed off) and bring in new sellable figures. Did it work?

Eeeehhhh.

I'll just pick up IDW Wheelie (if he weren't much larger than me) and say he's alright.

spoilers for White Lotus S2 ahead.

Okay, I need a minute to talk about Tanya and the absolute mastery of Jennifer Coolidge's acting in season 2 of White Lotus. Yes, she was fantastic in season 1 but I feel season 2 is really hers. She is the star of the show, she is the tragic heroine of the opera, she is the slapstick diva of the holiday comedy.

Her character is so fascinating. She is the stupid American, she has no self-awareness, no sense of reality, she is weird (and not in a cute way), hell, she is straight up repulsive in some scenes. And we know she is a one-percent-er who we all hate. And she deserves that hate, she is one of the villains in season 1, yet she doesn't understand that (and would never understand it, since she mentions the events of the past season in one scene this season).

But at the same time she is so tragic, so sad, so worthy of love and friendship and life and there is no way she could achieve any of that. She is pitiful and embarassing, it is hard to watch a lot of the times.

In season 2 we all know where it's going, not specifically maybe, but we know it's not gonna end well. Her final scene is hard to watch, but it is also briefly triumphant, and at the same time so stupid - we got a guy yeeting himself from the boat, we got Tanya asking a man she just shot if her husband is having an affair - and then obviously she fucks up one last time. It's not graceful, it's not profound, yet after she dies she is given one last beautiful moment in the sea, just like she did at the end of season 1.

I think what the show did with her character is remarkable. Think of other characters like this, caricatures of middle aged women (with money or without), who are there only to be laughed at. Tanya is like that, to others, to her husband, to the murderous gays, the other hotel guests, but also so much more. We see that and Portia, her assistant, who ultimately can't do anything to help her, sees that. She is probably the closest thing Tanya had to a genuine human connection and I am happy she had that at least, if everything else was so fucked up.

Digimon Frontier - Episode 50 (Finale!)

Yay, it's over! (lol). I'm sorry, but this ending didn't do much for me. We barely got to see the real world at all and the epilogue amounted to a boring slide show (aside from Koji reuniting with his birth mom, that was sweet). In the end, these characters just didn't feel as fleshed out as those in previous seasons and the digimon connection was lackluster too (it's hard to see the spirits as separate characters). Oh well, I don't mind watching some bland anime now and then...

Notes:

Seriously, compared to previous seasons, this goodbye was so blah. They just get yeeted back to the human world immediately after the final battle and miss their chance to say goodbye to the digimon. Bokomon gets the longest goodbye monologue, but I never liked him so...yeah. (Remember when Adventure gave us sentimental goodbyes between each human-digimon pairing that were indicative of their distinct, defined personalities? Yeah...I miss that).

The spirits showing up and even striking the final blow was...okay I guess. The "bad guy" spirits were just silent and in the background again. There's just no emotional connection because we haven't seen the main spirits as characters before (aside from silently nodding from the digivice from time to time).

Neemon snapping his own pants was a funny gag. The slapstick between Bokomon and Neemon did grow on me. (Funny how Neemon never served a single purpose...)

The Susanoomon thing was weird. In the previous episode Susanoomon was created by combining all 10 spirits but only Takuya and Koji were "inside" him, but in this episode all the kids go "inside." Either way it's still 10 spirits. They should have just made him be a combo of all the kids from the start! So clunky...

Lucemon Satan Mode gave major Millenniumon vibes in his lil grubby form. I'm not sure if "fall down mode" or "Satan mode" is a dumber name.

Seeing the digicode flow out of Lucemon/the digivices and reform the digital world was nice. (Hopefully the moons came back too lol). I wonder if everyone's going to start from zero as a digiegg?

Lol sure, they just let a bunch of kids barge into an emergency room. Hospital security apparently sucks in Japan! I was a little confused what exactly revived Koichi. Was it Koji's love or something from the digivices? Well, either way it was pretty silly.

I don't know why I didn't even think about the human/digital world time difference. I thought when Takuya returned to the human world in that previous episode that everyone would be worried about him, but they have the nice "no time has passed actually" loop hole.

Now that I think about it, it kind of feels like they all had the same arc. The epilogue was all about the kids having learned how to get along better with others (except maybe Tomoki who learned to "not be weak," but even that had to do with how he treats others!) Instead of just seeing them hang out with their one-dimensional families and classmates, I think I would have just preferred an epilogue of them hanging out in the human world and getting pizza or something. Or maybe they could be supporting Junpei at a magic show! (Maybe what I really need is fanfic lol).

Bring back parents!! The kids' parents in Adventure and Tamers were a big presence and it made them feel more like real, relatable people. Here they're mostly just in the background. Also, maybe if I got to know Koji's dad more I wouldn't think he was such a weirdo for lying to his son! >:/ I wanted to hear his side!!

Digimon Frontier was...my least favorite season so far for sure. It's not like it was a total loss, there were some cool digimon designs and I liked the digivolution sequences. The characters were charming enough, but not super memorable. I think this series' shortcomings really highlight what made previous seasons work better. IDK much about how it was received back in the day, but hopefully they learned from these mistakes. Onto the next! (After a brief gaming interlude).

Hi! Artist here

Was wondering if you���d be willing to share how you make your comics. I’m very fond of how expressive they are, and it is crazy to me how fast you make them and such. Totally understand if you don’t though! You’re work is awesome! :D

Oh hehe *twirls nonexistent hair* ty <333 tho thinking Im fast is giving me too much credit bc I coulda sworn Im slow as balls! Ngl I haven't made these much comics since 2019??? RE (esp 6) was just the lil push I need to get back in the groove of things. So anyway here's a scuffed explanation of my process. Like all of my art, I'd begin making small thumbnails, general layouts, panel placements etc. But since these are comics, I have to make a script for the dialogue so I can allot the placement of speech bubbles as they are important to the composition (also I'm kinda terrible at dialogue in general so it's best to prepare it instead of writing them on the spot, after the comic's done)

Yes, this chickenscratch is how I visualize things. (1st one is 'Nick Startled the Witch' 2nd is 'Sasha Yeets Leon Off Roof' and 3rd is 'Jerma Vengaboys') To ensure clarity even at a glance or when I'm not wearing glasses. Sometimes whenever I read comics or manga, I have a hard time processing things (call it a skill issue sure) so keeping this in mind I want things to be easy on the eyes, make the elements flow naturally as you read. Something something golden ratio ohmygodisthatamotherfuckinjojoref- Okay ngl, there may be some merit to my speed in making these. Not all panels need to be perfect, so you don't have to spend every waking hour on every single detail. So only detail parts that you want people to look at the most. I remember someone once mentioned that you can get away w/ easy comics if the faces are drawn really well, esp when it's dialogue heavy.

Also that one phrase from DDLC "If your pen is stuck in one spot, it'll leave a splotch of ink" smthin like that, yea I apply that to art as well. Saves a lot of time! And for the expressive part, I mostly rely on physical/slapstick humor. The Jerma Vengaboys comic was a test to myself if I can still pull it off or improve upon it. My main inspo when making these comics, is isismasshiro on deviantart. They have so much comics, all portraying characters in a Tom and Jerry-like scenarios, hold on I'll grab some of my fav panels from them.

These ones, and others have stuck with me from high school until now. That's how you know a composition is so good, and I try to set myself to that standard (emphasis on trying sfgkheg). The influence their art has on me is clear as day in the Jerma Vengaboys comic lol Anyways, really glad you like my stuff :] and thank you for the interest in my process. Sure I have a lot to explain, but I either don't wanna make this longer than it should be or some of the info I may forget.

[maibluemen]

🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?

unpopular opinion asks!

you know i was initially going to answer with ivan but i think that's more an issue i have with the way people frame the ways that he's not a great person rather than the fact that he's actually that bad of a person, if this makes sense

it's not a particularly popular take these days, i think, but some people have really wanted to frame roderich as abusive based on the chibitalia arc and i am not gonna say he's never done anything wrong in his life, but the chibitalia stuff to me feels so slapsticky that i can't really take most of it that seriously wrt characterization, at least if you're only looking at it at face value lol, like the time he just fucking yeets baby vene out of a window. this also isn't to say i think he was actually a great person to vene specifically, based on either chibitalia or irl history, but. idk. (similarly this ties into a lot of my issues with early fandom especially's treatment of ivan, because early hetalia is so loaded with slapstick that 99% when people would cite things as being abusive it would be either wholly made up or citing things that were clearly meant to be like. loony tunes. lmao)

[theboyandthepeach]

I'm just shocked that on this blog sid has NOT been yeeted by a god; oddly he's built for that, he's a slapstick character

Look, Sid didn't claim he's a God or has the same power as Arceus, so he's fine.

[aleepime]

omg. its been ten hundred years.. Joking, some slapstick content. yeet

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Oh my, an opportunity to be vain!

The first one is gonna be my current baby, of course.

You awoke to blood in your mouth and birdsong in your ears.

Grima's closest servant followed the Shepherds into the past. Alone and injured, Morgan makes a vow. To save the world, to save their family, to save their father.

No matter the cost.

(Or: Hierophant Morgan AU, without amnesia and a Future Past adjacent Morgan.)

I think abt this fic so much. so much. i keep talking abt my Plans for it bcuz i am just STOKED. i barely even remember what inspired this fic outside the vague notion of "What if FP but Main Timeline"

this version of morgan is near and dear to me. i love laying out their various psycholigical issues. did you notice they emulate grima's speech when trying to be evil.

second! not FE! My original baby on hiatus because the FE brainworms took over. When missing link drops it'll be back I promise.

Naminé finds a shadow creature inside a cave, Repliku gets attached before he can get rid of it, and Vanitas would like for people to stop petting him please.

(Or: Two introverts try to hide a really weird cat from their keyblade-wielding friends, who will probably slay it on sight.)

Oh man. I havent worked on this one in a WHILE which is especially cruel because I left on a cliffhanger but you gotta consider. terminal FE brain. this fic is what REALLY got me started on writing. It actually made me plan things.

It also made me realize that writing slice of life is really hard. If you don't have an overarching plot to push outside of general character arcs what do you even?? do???

i love this fic but i do cringe when i reread it.

if you ever notice oddly slapstick elements in plusquam, this is where they come from. morgan getting yeeted two chapters in a row is really just an evolution of the vanitas defenestration joke.

next up, my current series.

It's just another pitstop for Grima's hoard; Naga's Tear. But as he tears through the ruins, a girl hugs him and claims to be his daughter. Now, if Grima knew how she came to be, and what bees had to do with children, that'd be great.

And of course Chrom had to recruit her. What else.

(Or: Grima meets Morgan. He's conflicted about this.)

Out of the labyrinth is a series that gives me insane joy from its sheer sillyness, but don't feed that thing after midnight is my favorite of the bunch so far. you might notice i love morgan.

considering how mired i was in my AU morgan characterization, going back to canon and seeing how silly as hell she is made me love her all the more. also. also. joke fic yeah but DID YOU NOTICE how much of grima's thoughts about her mirror forneus' in the valentian accord. did you. please i'm so proud of that.

next, what the fuck do you mean this fic is a year old, was my ninjago phase really last summer:

The fateful inheritance letter reaches Jay eventually. Only now, he knows it's coming.

Just in time for Cliff Gordon's funeral.

(Or: Jay meets his mother.)

out of all my eleven ninjago fics, this is my favorite. i wrote it because i kept thinking about skybound during 4am summer insomnia. it went through many typo fixes.

i do love how i did jay in this one. it's far too late for his mom to be his mom. he's already an adult. but it's not late enough for her to be his friend. it's a nice sentiment.

and last but not least! this fic us two years old, goddamn!

Astrid Remond did not expect life after death. And after another death. And a third one, for good measure.

She also did not expect meeting the protagonist. (And falling for them.)

(Or: Reincarnation, the fourth wall, and the slightly eldritch nature of customizable player characters.)

even if i'm not really into loh anymore for various reasons, a lot of the characters are still near and dear to me! lord/astrid is such a ship and astrid is a really fascinating character, and i wanted to explore that. when she came back in extreme mode, i was floored. also floored that my joke that she got isekai'd was actually true.

i also used a custom skin to make the text blue!! look at that!!

honorable mentions for "fics of mine i really like" go out to One Whole Boy, Sunny-side Up, Jailbreak, and dusk of a new night.

thank you for giving me the chance to gush about my fics!!! i have fifty five of these now, jesus christ!! i cant believe i've been writing fic for. five years now. FIVE YEARS!! THAT'S A LONG TIME!! that's a quarter of my whole life so far actually.

[quill-is-brainstorming]

These are all wonderful op, may I also suggest the scene where Diomedes tries to kill Aeneas and both Aphrodite and Apollo have to come save him in all its slapstick humor glory? Homer literally states that Aphrodite basically yeets Aeneas to the ground and ditches him after Diomedes hurts her, plus Apollo has to manually slap him away like 4 times which is also pretty funny.

A similar thing happens again later on when Aeneas shit-talks Achilles, proceeds to get his shit wrecked and then Poseidon (who is fighting AGAINST the Trojans, btw) saves him because he literally says he would feel bad if he died because Aeneas is just such a nice guy

Some of my favorite moments in the Iliad, in no particular order:

When Glaucus and Diomedes realize that their grandfathers were friends and enthusiastically agree to kill anyone else in the war except each other, and to be friends afterwards. And then they trade armor so that everyone else can see their new friendship.

When the tide of battle turns against the Greeks and everyone's running, and Diomedes is like "you better not be running away like a bitch" to Odysseus, and Odysseus hears him, ignores him, and continues running away like a bitch.

When Aphrodite comes running back to Olympus after being speared through the wrist, and Hera and Athena casually roast her.

When Hector goes back into Troy and find Paris canoodling with Helen and reads him the fucking Riot Act in the way only a pissed off older brother can.

Honestly, any time Paris gets verbally eviscerated or humiliated. This whole thing was his fault.

When Menelaus gets grazed by an arrow and Agamemnon chews the scenery for like two whole pages until his brother is like "I'm actually okay, my armor blocked it for the most part".

When Paris shoots Diomedes through the foot and Diomedes is like "try aiming next time, you prettyboy bitch" before limping off the battlefield.

When the gods join the fighting and Hermes find himself facing off against Leto, and he's like "harming one of Zeus' lovers is a great way to get your shit wrecked, and I'm smarter than that, so just tell everyone you beat me up and I'll go along with it".

[deeply-unserious-fellow]

So,I was inspired by @arctimon 's post about how Karmi could be an alternate version of Kamala Khan to post about my own theory about anouther possible alternate version of a Marvel character in Big Hero 6 the Series.

And that would be that Globby is an alternate version of Slapstick.

Yes,I do relise that I've thrown them into the same universe with each other multiple times and made a crap tone of AUs where they're friends(none of which I posted on here for some reason),but still.

Here are the things that I think prove this

In human form,they're both blonde with blue eyes.

They both went through an accident that physically changed them.

They're both almost completely indestructable in said physically altered forms

They're both violent.Yes,I know Globby doesn't really act like he would be violent,but have you seen him fight?

Both of there memories suck.

We don't know Globby's last name.Heck,we don't even know if Dibs was his real name!

G r e e n J a c k e t s

So that last one doesn't actually support the theory very much.I still found a lot of actually valid evidence!There are still some holes in the theory,but the majority of them can be patched up with the fact that anything is possible in the multiverse,so yee.

Actually,this might just be me trying to relate two of my hyper fixations together-

[ededdneddy-artrefs]

[acewithapaintbrush]

Had a super weird (genius???) thought on the way home. 

Encanto, but it's a 'Final Destination' kind of horror setting. 

So! Bruno sees the future and he constantly sees the deaths of his loved ones and of course he prevents them. 

"Don't eat that."

"Don't go there." 

But Death comes when it is supposed to come for whom it is meant to come and it's not gonna let itself get cheated out of its charges. So it tries again and again and again and everytime Bruno is like "Nope. Not today."

"Don't wear those shoes, you'll trip." 

"Take an extra Arepa, lots of bees out there." 

And Death is getting desperate. By now every single member of Familia Madrigal should have died at least 14 times. But Bruno is so used to it all by now that the horror of the situation has faded and he is basically just a lil guy, swapping deadly situations away like flies. And Death's attempts become more and more outlandish and complicated. 

And so Bruno's warnings become more and more wacky. 

"When you color the tree in your drawing, choose the light green pencil, not the dark green." 

"Put your bracelet on the left wrist today and leave the earrings at home. And oh, no matter what you do, don't whistle that song that's stuck in your head on the way home." 

You might think his family would question such instructions, but they have caught on to the fact that they have had more near death experiences than you should have so they kinda adopt the attitude of "If Bruno tells you to not pick your nose while walking, you don't pick your nose, no matter what. Comprende?" 

(Writing this, I imagine them all sitting at the breakfast table and Bruno just giving out his warnings for the day like Alma is telling everyone their chores. 

"Luisa, the third donkey from the right. Leave it be. It will find its way home alone sooner or later. Camilo, I don't care how stupid your friend's new haircut looks, don't you dare laugh at them. Agustin…*sigh* bees, Agustin. It's always bees.. And no one approaches or helps Pezmuerto today." 

"Is she finally going to snap and kill one of us?" Camilo asks, excited. 

"Nah, I just don't like her.") 

I imagine it getting less horror and angst and more and more like slapstick humor or something until Death finally snaps and stands in front of Casita and demands to speak to Bruno because "Maaaan! What gives dude??? I'm just trying to do my job." 

(Imagine how it will end however you want, but I love the idea of Casita opening her doors really quick and hard and yeeting Death over the mountains). 

[bookandyarndragon]

Honestly with everything I know about Sentinel's character it would be super interesting. Hang on to your ball bearings, Sent, you're geting character development!

Imagine Longarm Minor yeeting Sentinel under the bus with Optimus. Longarm provides proof Sentinel proposed the plan. (All the better to remove both of the most promising young Primes from the elite guard, my dear.) Sentinel's busted back in rank Optimus remains a prime and they both are on the Orion Pax on the Spacebridge Repair Crew.

Sentinel's a very grumpy sad sack but he's not alone, even if he might wish he was. Bonds with the team out of self defense. "He's an colossal afthelm but he's our colossal afthelm and you're not gonna offline him, Blitzbrain!" Sentinel weeps because it's genuinely the most carring thing he's ever had directed his way.

All this going on as he is an anxious phobic wreck because he's stranded on an organic world and he knows the Autobots will leave them to Rust.

And with Longarm as Ultra Magnus' right servo tossing Shockwave onto earth to retrieve the Allspark? This also gives room for untapped Slapstick, angst and horror on e the calvary show up.

Sometimes I wish Sentinel was in Optimus's crew. Not just because he's my favorite but I genuinely want his reaction to all the shit that went down before season 2. That feels like untapped comedy waiting to happen.

Ninjago Movie universe but it vaguely follows the story of the show

Pilots

* The skulkin are high school students and are also a weird biker gang

* Nya is opposed to them because she’s also a biker and to her biking is about honour, whilst they see biking as tool of intimidation

* Nya is so impressive she nearly becomes the new leader of the bikers before Garmadon suddenly appears to steal that title at the last second

Rise of the snakes

* The serpentine are various humans

* Skales was vice principal before taking over from the other hypnobrai general and hates Lloyd

* The fangpyre general(s) are conjoined twin art teachers that turn everything into snakes (as in craft projects). They once involved Jay in an art project where they painted him to look like a snake against his will

* The venomarie general is a science teacher and Kai accidentally makes meth in a Chemistry class

* Pythor is still a snake though. He’s like Bigfoot and Lloyd finds him and hides him in his room like he’s an awful roommate. Eventually Pythor screws Lloyd over and leaves to live in the sewers

* Pythor threatens to release the great devourer who like meowthra, is an irl snake. He never does but it’s teased

* Pythor eats Wu but Garmadon punches him in the stomach and spits him out again. Garmadon ends up yeeting Pythor into the atmosphere

Legacy of the Green Ninja

* The overlord is the spider that bit the snake that bit Garmadon

* Dareth is a ninja wannabe who got to be part of one honourary adventure

* Garmadon revisits the island and fights the spider (the overlord) that bit the snake that bit him before it disappears into Ninjago city

Rebooted

* Pixal is the ai voice connected to all the ninja mechs. Zane is dating her despite the fact that the other ninja thinks she isn’t sentient. He’ll bring flowers to the screen of his mech, and one day when no one is watching she says in her robotic ai voice that she loves Zane too so maybe she is sentient??

* Borg is the tech company technically owns the garbage dump as their personal waste bin. Jay’s parents work for the company

* All the mechs are built by the ninja, Pixal was technically software from Borg

* Cryptor and the other evil nindroids are just various electronics that Zane has beef with (cryptor is a microwave or something)

* The overlord spider appears before the ninja and there’s a slapstick sequence of them trying to kill it before Zane explodes himself to bits to kill it. The ninja slowly descend into chaos for the whole day trying different ways to fix him before Zane fixes himself
