#that episode lives in my brain forever

listened to heimerdingner’s song and got Emotional over timebomb so. have this

I love the idea of teenage Malleus hating his new baby brother Silver but slowly falling for him

words cannot express how much I adore that Mal's reaction to seeing a human baby for the first time was "the fuck is this. why does it look like that. gross." (then he immediately got stuck on babysitting duty and the rest is history)

I am SUCH a sucker for that trope of "non-humans being fascinated by normal human behavior", so between that and all the delicious angst going on I was eating VERY well. >:) Malleus being so impressed that two-year-old Silver can walk, because it took him twenty years to stand on two legs! Lilia barging in on the Zigvolts at 2 AM being like "he won't stop crying what do I do"! Lilia trying to feed Silver rats and Malleus being like "...please just stick with what the books say to feed it"! it is all so. chef's kiss.

i know there's been a lot of talk over the last six to ten years about how women in anime went from looking like people to looking very chibi-esque and i mean i know cowboy bebop and ive caught a couple gundams and ive seen satoshi kon films so like i thought i knew what people were mourning when they talked about 90s character design but like now i know....now i know.....this is what we lost as a society........

i haint watched the dang chibisode and idk if ill actually watch it with sound on sdfjk but i have a hurt feeling about them casually imbuing perry with speech for a one off gag because the idea that he needs to talk to communicate is fake. we had 4 seasons of wacky magic hijinks cartoon where perry never needed verbal speech to communicate. they couldve done this gag at any point in the show but they didn't, and the fact that they didn't felt significant. perry's muteness is such a core part of his character, to me, to the way i conceive of him/write him. i don't wanna overreact to a goofy little side cartoon (even tho i'm doing it anyway) but it's still the characters, and it still upsets me! ok that's it i've said my piece

—on the topic of psychotic Summers brothers, I only just caught up with six months of X-Men after stopping for six months the topic of Gabriel referring to the tags of my last X-Men post a month ago — but I was happy to see Scott's torture-induced psychosis didn't (definitively) turn out just to be that he'd calculated what others hadn't. Yes, the woman he'd accurately calculated would save him was Dr. Gregor, not Jean, but that doesn't change that he remained unsure if Jean was real (and thought she was alive) while the all-seeing Enigma knew on the contrary that Scott was delusional because Phoenix thus equally (an equivocation which casts further doubt of Scott's fiery visions ever being genuine, as Jean's dying mind had departed Scott well before Mother Righteous sacrificed Jean's dead fragmented self for Dominion, before Scott was tortured) Jean — were so utterly dead that Rachel and Hope had to cancel out death to reverse it. Yet Scott, hyper-vigilant traumatized autistic brain-damaged neurodivergent soldier that he is, seemingly accomplished all these strategic calculations while having a psychotic “break,” which is extremely in character for him—

I know the show Homeland was super racist and Islamophobic, but you know what's wild? Over the past few months, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this one episode where Saul goes to visit his estranged sister for the first time in years.

She was a settler living in the West Bank. Her and her extremist husband specifically chose a house that would be in full view of all the surrounding Palestinians (if I recall correctly, she only referred to them as Arabs because of course she did), just to taunt them and ensure they could never forget that the settlers have taken the land and will never leave.

Saul stopped speaking to her once she married this guy, because he was a zealot who indoctrinated her into his beliefs. They'd been raised trying to hide their Jewishness in whitewashed American suburbs to avoid antisemitism, which arguably played a role in her being vulnerable to that type of extremism.

And Saul actually calls her out, telling her she's living in a house she stole from someone else, that she was part of ensuring peace was less possible. That she was part of the problem.

The thing is, Saul was arguably the moral centre of the show, so writing something like this inevitably meant the audience was more or less positioned to see his point of view as "morally correct."

I don't think I'd ever heard anything like it on TV before, or since. I was already firmly pro-Palestinian for many years at the point I saw it, so the ideas weren't new to me, but that it was being said on a mainstream American show by the Mandy Patinkin was.

I don't really know what my point here is. I suppose that media, the narratives used and embraced, influences us so deeply that a single episode of a bad-to-mediocre show with very few high points has become forefront in my mind years later because it so perfectly mirrored the ideological schisms and moral depravity that many of us are having to confront more than we ever have before.

Die or Go

This fig has a special place in my heart, because this scene was the gif on my Tumblr feed way back when that actually convinced me to watch this show.

To be fair, my resistance had already been worn down by a gif of this scene:

But as gorgeous as this was (and oh, is it), it was this particular scene with the beggar gang that changed my life made me say wow, this could be good, I'll give this show a try.

I don't even know how many times I re-watched this scene, since the answer may incriminate me but I love this so much that when I had the opportunity to buy one of the costumes, this was the one I picked.

Ah, just incredible. I've been sitting here hypnotically watching my own video clip on loop, it's just as good every single time it replays!

But we have a fig to talk about, so onwards and upwards!

The box arrived fairly beat up, so I was a little concerned. The fig isn't resin, but still this is never a fun thing to see. Plus, I like the artwork on the box!

The fig arrived with a base and the unfortunate Vice-Captain of the Dazhi Beggar Clan. Maybe he should have gone into law!

Here's our philanthropist just by himself - he's totally freely removable from the base. No tabs or magnets or anything. I believe this is so you can pose him however you like, as you'll see a little bit later.

And now here he is sitting on the base. While you can of course pose him in any direction you like, his hand fits neatly here over the unfortunate Vice-Captain.

The motion on this fig is a dream. I love the swirly robes, the hair, the whole look.

Per usual with PVC figs wrapped up in their protective bag, the fan was bent a bit when it arrived, so I carefully pushed it back into position. With as many times as I had re-watched this scene, I don't think I had ever noticed his fan was partially open like this, but I just re-confirmed, it sure is.

The robes look so good! The fig maker did a fantastic job on this one.

My apologies for the indignity, Lao Wen - I just wanted to show how well modeled the entire fig is all the way around.

We'll do two top down views so you can get both sides. I think they did a nice job on the guan.

Just gorgeous. I love this fig so much!

This fig is the first in a whole Wenzhou set, and came with an optional side purchase of a puzzle piece. I always add the add-ons regardless, but this was so cute I'm not sure how I would have resisted anyway! Unlike the New Year Special figs, this isn't a magnet, simply a plastic puzzle piece.

The poor beat up box, and the spoiler for the next fig in the set (come back and see it tomorrow!). You can here why the fig is freely removable from the base, precisely so you can do something just like this box pose!

Material: PVC for the fig, and resin for the base

Fig Count: 206

Scene Count: 18 (I don't think this quite qualifies as a scene)

Rating: So hospitable!
