It’s time for a new poll.

Obviously I had to leave out quite a few due to the 12 answers limit (sorry, fans of the Big Hero 6 tv series, Talespin, and Jungle Cubs).

Telling my husband about all the actors in “The Quarry” I grew up watching, one being Lance Henriksen (Jedediah Hackett).

But y’all. Did you know this guy:

…was also this guy?

Cause I did not, and I about lost it.

As you were.

Next up for Disney TVA, who is your favorite character from the cartoons in the 2000-02 half of the Disney One Saturday Morning era: The Weekenders, Clerks the Animated Series, Teacher's Pet, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, House of Mouse, Lloyd in Space, The Legend of Tarzan, Teamo Supremo, and Fillmore?

As I hinted at last time, this one I thankfully have no gaps for. I can't promise that'll hold later in this, but thankfully this was the era. Also thanks for not forgetting clerks and for those puzzled it's here at all, we'll get to that.

The Weekenders: Another from my top 10 list and a true banger. It's also a rare one where the protaganist clinches it: while I like Reno Romano in general, this is his best role and Tino is the right mix of sarcastic, relatable and an actual person to fit the lead role without getting overshadowed.

As for the show itself... I love. Loved it then, would defintely love it now, will never shut up about disney+ not having it. YOU CAN AFFORD THE SERVER SPACE YOU SHAMBLING MONSTROSITIES.

Anyways, good show: It's nice and down to earth, one of the pinacles of slice of life, funny, has a great running gag in the pizza joint which could get old but never did, and one of the best mom character sin Tino's Mom whose the right mix of genuinely wise and sarcastic. It's one of disney's best easy.

Clerks: the Animated Series: Randall. While the series for it's length has a LOT of great characters, it's truly unhinged version of Randall graves is one of the best wacky idiots in all of animation. Jeff Anderson showed some range going from the sketchy but shockingly wise randall of the film (And later sequel.. haven't seen Clerks III Yet), to the absolute bafoon and constant joke factory that is Randall of the animated series. Never has an adaptation going this far off the rails with a character worked THIS well. 80% of Randall's screentime is spent being hilarous and you will repeat everything he says.

The show itself is Disney TVA's only adult show to date, which is weird given Disney+ has been around for a few years at this point and threw off the all ages label 2 or three years back, and while it failed because ABC didn't know what they had, it remains one of my faviorite adult animated cartoons. Part of it i'll admit is nostalgia; I watched this one as a tenager as the first kevin smith thing I could watch and watch it every so often ever since.

Yet even on it's own merits.. the show is just hilaroius. It's lines are embedded in my head partly due to getting in early sure.. but they stay because their just THAT good, paticuarlly episode 2. The show is the opposite of it's source material: amped up, over the top and with Dante and Randall being a butt monkey/only sane man and gloriously idoitic cartoon doofus instead of his own worst enemy and a slacker whose suprisingly wise but impulsive. Yet.. it works. Part of it is unlike other adaptations with this big a change,Kevin Smith choose to do this, brought back the actors who played the characters to do this and did it for good reason: instead of trying to cram clerks into the cartoon format, he adapted it for the format: the characters are wackier because Kevin could do more weird shit with animation, hence episodees about fake clip shows, homages to the last starfighter that become homages to temple of doom, the deadly motava virus, and an episode entirely poking fun at the fact it's nothing like the movie. These six episode are one long vibe and WELl worth your time even if you haven't seen clerks or don't especailly like clerks.

Teacher's Pet: I dont' remember the show itself well, but I liked the movie a lot and need to rewatch it.

Buzz Lightyear: I'd say Booster as I like his design and jovial demanor. As for the series I haven't seen enough to judge it super well, but I really liked the pilot, feel the show did the lightyear concept better than lightyear (not exactly orignal as while that film isn't the worst , it's still a mess), and it has dynamite voice cast.

House of Mouse: Goofy. Donald is great.. but mostly gets pidgenholed into jealously plots over mickey or being a butt monkey. Goofy gets to have way more fun and be himself.

The series itself is the one i've covered most extenstively as Weird Kev had me cover it for a whole year of patreon, and threw in both movies and the ocasinal extra. It's also awesome. The shorts are solid as I mentioned with mouseworks: they can be hit and miss with the donald gets sexually harassed one being possibly the absolute worst donald short i've seen. But it also has a lot of standouts like the blot and round the world in 80 days extra sized shorts, lots of goofy.

The wraparounds are mostly great. again it can be hit or miss, but it usually hits and is possibly my faviorite verison of mickey and friends on the whole (Since ducktales only got to have goofy and donald). It's a nice mix of the old, letting Clarabelle and Horace have easily their biggest roles (i'ts how I met them as kids), and throwing in TONS of homages, and the new, with the guests being a lot of reinssance era faviorites (they got a LOT of use out of james wood), Max being a recurring characters and the 2000's stylings. It was fun, frantic and near perfect. It also gave us possibly the most iconic pete scene there ever was with only petey's king of france and the hot tub scene competing.

God Jim Cummings can sing.

Also put this on disney plus jesus christ

Lloyd In Space: Don't hav ea faviorite. I like the concept but didn't like this much as a kid but wouldn't mind checking it out.. if it was on disney+. god damn

The Legend of Tarzan: Haven't watched this one enoguh to form an opinon. Okay I said I'd seen all of these I didn't say I knew them well.

Teamo Supremo: Skate Lad for his evil kenivl style and catchphrase> The show itself I remember liking a lot but coudl use a rewatch: great style, fun characters, simply held back by the fact the other 2000's superhero shows were better but not bad at all.

Filmore: Probably the lead man himself, stoic, badass and a lot of fun. The show itself is one i'd revisit if, say it again DISNEY+ had it.. and I know I procastinate but come the fuck on.

Filmore is awesome: a crime procediral wrapped in a hilarous school setting. I didn't even know what it was homaging as a kid, which means it works as both a parody/homage to 70's detective shows and a solid one in it's own right. Fun, creative and endellsy entertaining, I don't know why this isn't on disney+

Bucky and Steve had always been meant to keep her safe and happy. As far as anyone else was concerned, that was their sole reason for being alive.

When you graduated from Northeastern University, you had your sights set on the West Coast. And then you were offered a position with the Boston Bruins Athletic Training Department.

(Dark!Ransom Drysdale)

A Bun In The Oven - @witchywithwhiskey

Drowning Siren - @rogerswifesblog

The Avengers found an old abandoned HYDRA base, that had been cleared after HYDRAs existence had been exposed. At least they thought it was cleared. It was the biggest experimental lab they had ever seen, the closest base to the ocean, full with creatures-dead creatures. Some of them laid still on tables, stripped with metal cuffs, open and already rotting. It was an awful smell. But then they heard something beautiful. A melody, a beautiful voice singing unbelievably gentle sounds. Walking into the building full with ocean creatures, they had no idea their life was about to change.

Vampire Kings Religion - @marvelcriminalhoe

In a world where fantasy beings roam every corner, the humans are on the bottom. Looked at as weak and disgraceful. The vampires are the opposite. They rule the land, and all of the creatures that take part of it. the current ruler, King Steven, has ruled for more than 150 years, alone. After many nights, and long talks with his most trusted hands, he comes to the long awaited decision that he will finally, take a wife. All female creatures, are to be evaluated, so he can find his perfect match. Of course, no one expects for him to choose a human. Especially not one from the church. Especially not the daughter, of the leader, of the church. The same church that detests the mythical creatures, wishing for nothing more than for them to perish in fire. How could this union possibly end well?

Ride And Prejudice - @pagesoflauren

A take on Pride & Prejudice, certain circumstances in your life have led you to take refuge and work in a farm village, particularly on the ranch owned by Steve Rogers. He doesn’t take kindly to you, having bad perceptions about city folk. Your only reaction to that is the one you deem acceptable: get annoyed at every little thing he does whilst doing your best to annoy him and still keep your job.

Love On The Brain - @howardpotts

You’re just a student, living her normal daily life in New York. One night changes everything, without you even knowing. Steve Rogers slowly introduces you to his world full of money, drugs and voilence. But are you able to handle what he has to offer? (MobBoss!Steve Rogers)

Flamingo King - @onsunnyside

The sun is brutal this summer, especially in Flamingo Trailer Park, the land of big hearts and cheap tricks, you’ve been here for years unlike your “new” neighbour, Ari. He’s older, bigger, and intimidating, the local rockstar, and you, well, aren’t you just the sweetest girl in the whole damn city?

Make It A December To Remember - @imyourbratzdoll

AGE AND SIZE DIFFERENCE IS ADDED TO ALL! SANTA AND THE GRINCH ARE LARGER THAN THE READER! THE ELVES ARE THE SIZE OF HER PALM! (a chris evans xmas universe)

This Love Is Bad - @wildestdreamsblog

You were just trying to escape your past, and Ari was trying to chase his future.

Nowhere To Run - @sagechanoafterdark

On the last day that Steve spent in your small town before heading off to basic training for the army, he made sure it was one you wouldn’t ever forget. Years later when he appears in your town he seems like a changed man in more ways than one, but you’re ready to show him that you’ve never forgotten that day. (Dark!Steve Rogers+ Bucky Barnes)

Nice To Be Kneaded - @rogersideup

Almost every news station in the country was covering the chase for the missing superheroes post-raft-escape following the Civil War. Steve Rogers face had been plastered on the cover of every news paper, fliers stapled to street lamps, posted on bulletin boards in what felt like every coffee shop in the country. It had been just a few long months shy of a year, just long enough to grow out his hair and beard to make himself as unrecognizable as he could manage. Though he was still the poster boy of disorder within the states, he found himself in the scanty town of Greenwood in the house right next to yours.

Forever And Ever More - @syntheticavenger

Ransom Drysdale may be Boston’s most eligible Alpha who has his eyes set on you. With his inheritance hanging in the balance, he won’t take no for an answer, whether you like him or not.

Hackers Heart - @bakugousaysdie

steve rogers has always been america’s golden boy, leading earth’s mightiest heroes and serving his country. you have always been bad with boundaries, a little too curious, and an absolute disruption. you are an absolute menace,so it’s only right you fell in love with the most adored man in the country.

Arranged - @time-for-a-lullaby

Living in this life, you’ve never gotten to have much say in anything. What you wear, who you hang out with, and now, who you marry and you’re dreading your arranged marriage to the Italian mob boss, Chris Evans. Expecting to suffer through a life of abuse while being kept under lock and key, you’re pleasantly surprised when Chris is nothing like you expected. He’s the most feared man on the East Coast, only brought to his knees by one thing and one thing only. You.

[sugarpasteltmnt]

surprise!! remaking this post with corrected, updated links!!

Introducing…

‘DINO’-tello

BIG THANK U to Anixolt on twitter for accepting this commission request!!! I'm so excited to share this 'Future' Donatello with you all!

Set in an alternate reality, Donnie & his brothers go back in time to the cretaceous period to stop a cataclysmic event. However, in doing so, the four brothers get stuck in the past and live among the dinosaurs.

[link to twitter thread]

(Note! Permission to post my commission on tumblr was given by artist via Twitter!)

More lore below!

Because the Ooze was designed to make super soldier mutants, it helps its host adapt to the conditions around them. After a few years, it started to double-mutate him to adapt to his new harsh environment, making him very raptor-like.

Because of his double mutation and trauma of past events, Donnie is at risk of going into a feral “Savage” mode like Raph

Has two modes— ‘Hunter’ and ‘Scientist/Alchemist’

While hunting Donatello relies on his instincts. Becomes very aggressive and territorial.

He uses an ankylosaurus skull and other dinosaur parts as his battle shell and protective gear while hunting

When he isn’t hunting, Donnie is trying to reinvent necessities to make living in a prehistoric era a bit easier with what materials are available to him

Whatever he doesn’t have, he’ll make. From scratch.

Dino-Tello’s concept was inspired by a similar 2003 TMNT episode where they go to the past, 2003 Leatherhead, Tarzan, and the anime series ‘Dr. Stone’

His concept is meant to emphasize Donnie’s other strengths beyond technology— such as his Super-intelligence, his close-combat fighting skills, and ability to communicate with other creatures (as shown in the Todd Scouts episode)

He and his brothers tame a triceratops and name him Zog, who was both a pet and steed

For one reason or another… Donatello is the last turtle standing

However, due to classic Hamato shenanigans— ‘Dino’tello might not be all alone for too long 👀👀👀

Cartoon Love Triangle + Villain's Crush (5)

[hashtagloveloses]

ok so i figured out why the songs in the new disney movie Wish suck so bad - for the movie celebrating 100 years of mostly animated movie MUSICALS, they didn’t get a songwriter who writes MUSICALS. they got two POP songwriters (Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice, who’ve written for a lot of big stars like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, etc). despite lin-manuel’s faults, that man can cook up a song and had won a tony even before hamilton. there’s a reason moana and encanto went crazy. the anderson-lopezes made frozen and frozen II a HIT. maybe if they didnt have them chained to a desk writing two more frozen movies they could’ve worked on Wish instead. the ICON alan menken completed his EGOT from the daytime emmy he won for writing a song just for the tangled TV SERIES in 2020, and they couldnt even get him back?! for the movie celebrating 100 years of animated musicals?!!!

one of the directors of the film is Chris Buck, who did Tarzan - that movie only really has one or MAYBE two songs sung by the characters, and is mostly a soundtrack by Phil Collins instead. but thats a FULL soundtrack that was supposed to be pop the whole way through, not a musical.

one of the only times they got a pop songwriter to do an animated musical was Elton John for the Lion King, but he went on to write several popular musicals after that.

they got a big Broadway star like Ariana Debose, and a big Hollywood star who can really sing like Chris Pine, on that movie and gave them POP composers? for the 100th anniversary? this is the studio that made HAMLET WITH LIONS and a BOOK BY VICTOR HUGO into legendary animated musicals. what the FUCK happened? which executive made this stupid ass choice?
