#that special is from 2019

Since I'm a fan of stand-up comedians like Maria Bamford, Kate Berlant, and Aparna Nancherla, I'm always seeking out more female voices in the male-dominated field of comedy—particularly new works by women comics.
As such, I wanted to highlight two female comedians who have recently been appearing on my social media feed to my great delight!
First, Sara Schaefer's Comedy Central showcase has been officially uploaded on YouTube, and it is absolutely wonderful. I first read Sara's comedic writing when she was an editor for Best Week Ever Blog, along with Michelle Collins and Dan Hopper, so I was already familiar with her witty way of thinking.
youtube
However, this special is so entertaining and fun that I'm thinking I need to see her perform live sometime soon haha
Second, if you've looked at my header before, you'll know I am a HUGE fan of Garfunkel and Oates.
Well, it looks like one-half of the comedy duo—Kate Micucci—has been releasing music videos for her upcoming children's album called My Hat, and they are all delightful.
Here's her newest one about the Ghosts of Pasadena!
youtube
Fun fact: Kate's music video director is Caitlin Gerard, whom Bo Burnham fans will easily recognize as his love interest Amy on the MTV gem Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous.
And Bo knows both Kate and Riki Lindhome really well! Since they are all musical comedians, Garfunkel and Oates often performed in the same venues as Bo, AND they participated in a Nerdist bowling game together. Plus, Kate and Riki were at the premiere of Bo's directorial debut. So cool!
youtube
I hope you enjoy the videos, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Sigh. I might finally admit to myself that the Danny phantom boy is my blorbo 😔. Iove to draw that guy in situations
#I refused the label for so long. but in retrospect he’s been my blorbo since middle school.#I still kinda don’t think calling him my blorbo fits. idk he’s like a color to me.#I just like da color. no special emotional(?) attachment to him ?? I just like his concept I think.#it’s like the same with midoriya from like 2019-2023 he’s was just a cool guy I liked to draw#idk. whatever

you know what, when jo march (2019) said “i can’t believe childhood is over” and when emily brontë wrote “i wish i was a girl again, half savage and hardy and free” and when taylor swift sung “and though i can’t recall your face i still got love for you” and when barbie cried and hermione granger said “it’s all going to change now” and lucy pensive cried over leaving narnia for the last time and lorde wrote “but all that stranger would see/ is one girl swaying alone, stroking her cheek” i really felt it, the pain of losing childhood friends and forgetting the joy of adventure only found in the savage imagination of a pre teen girl.

Sometimes I think abt Obey Me and there’s this gnawing feeling deep in my chest because of how so much of the story/characters were repeatedly flattened. There’s so much potential and I (along with so many others) have such a deep attachment to the characters and the world building; it’s just that the execution missed the mark sometimes and a cash grab like NB is. Frankly devastating to me conceptually. Have been contemplating opening it and trying it out but ultimately it makes me too sad every time. I’m terrible with change though, so maybe I’m just biased.
#I miss the brothers so much man#they’re all so special to me in their own ways#I played OM for years- like from around late 2019 to early 2020 onward.#I still have the app and I open it just to mess around sometimes when I get sad#idk man. the original rlly was special to me even with all its flaws

i could write a 100 page essay about what a fucking masterpiece warframe is. i will write many words in the tags. please readem if you want my 'tism.
#ive been playing on and off since 2019 but its only recently when i dumped destiny 2 (probably for good) and picked it up#to fill the grind-shaped hole in my heart#that i have uncovered just how FUCKING INCREDIBLE warframe is#everything about it makes me incredibly autistic#from its masterful utilization of an incredibly styled and individual soundtrack full of absolute bangers#to its seemingly unique understanding of how and why an MMO is special to and because of its players#and its truly special story- a uniquely human take on the “post-ruin scifi” tale#it knows exactly how and when to yank on your heart to make you weep like a baby#and it knows exactly when you're going to get angry and want vengeance#and it knows when to let you let loose and unleash hell#SPOILERS FOR THE NEW WAR AHEAD#IF YOU THINK YOU COULD PLAY THE GAME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO#SPOILER WARNING#i think the narmer corruption of fortuna was genuinely one of the most gutpunchingly horrible moments ive ever experienced in a video game#i started playing when fortuna was already in the game but the story of fortuna and vox solaris was really what made warframe stand out 2 m#i would drop into the orb vallis as gauss and dash around doing bounties and fishing and mining because i really loved everything about#fortuna and wanted to spend as much time there as possible#for me vox solaris was my proudest achievement (in warframe.) to say “i helped that! i did that!” was an incredibly good feeling#the story really spoke to me on a deeper level#and vox solaris has always been my favorite faction as a result#so to do absolutely everything that i could#to lift together with my tenno brothers and sisters and yet STILL fail?#and to have it rubbed in my face by the corruption of the greatest shining pillar of hope in the warframe universe?#felt like i got kicked in the stomach#i felt sad and angry. but most of all i was DRIVEN.#which is GOOD. because RARELY does a video game present you the “you lost” scenario and have it feel not only satisfyingly painful#but MOTIVATING.#my only complaint with the new war is that i didnt get to hack ballas to pieces by myself#i had real flashbacks to running around helping people as gauss while approaching the final boss with erra#and to step onto the ballas arena as gauss prime. i nearly came from the narrative significance

[ID : four pencil sketches, digitally colored, of characters from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego.
Carmen as seen by Zack and Ivy during their first meeting in the donut shop, but she looks closer to her young appearance in VILE island : her hair goes to her shoulders, her face is rounder and she wears the coat and hat she stole from Cookie Booker. She is frowning and balling her fists as if trying to appear intimidating.
Carmen on the runway in Milan. Her hair, in a ponytail, is fluffy like her regular hair. She looks to the viewer with a cocky smile as she strikes a pose.
Julia in Rio, wearing the ACME suit with the pants instead of the skirt. She is leaning against the table where Carmen and Shadowsan were drinking coffee, looking intently at a cup.
Zack at the party in Dubai, wearing a black jacket with a complex multicolored pattern. He looks to the side with a smile. /End ID]
Some things I wish we'd seen in season 2 of Carmen Sandiego! In no particular order, a visibly younger and scruffy Carmen during her first meeting with Ivy and Zack, Carmen's Milan runway look having her fluffy hair instead of it being straightened, Julia in an ACME pantsuit instead of the skirt, and Zack wearing a more original jacket than the black one he wore in the Emirates.
(Zack's suit is from here, because I could not design something this complicated)
#carmen sandiego 2019#carmen sandiego#julia argent#zack cs#my art#technically these were ready a month ago. then i lacked time for the finishing touches. THEN i decided wait actually i want basic bgs#ft the fastest backgrounds i've ever drawn. and let me tell you they were a blast to draw!#obv very much the bg from the corresponding episodes#this isn't the jacket i would've designed for zack if it had actually been for the show (that would've been a bitch to animate i bet)#but i figured i could have fun with it!#and then i drew every part of the pattern by hand instead of using the special tools in photoshop. whyyyy#also i forgot zack had his hair combed back during the party... that's what happens when you don't rewatch the episode before drawing#let's say that's after he got to loosen up bc the mission went without a hitch :)#once again let me reiterate: i hate julia's acme suit with a burning passion. WHAT ARE THOSE SKIRTS. HIDEOUS.#let her wear pants dammit#anyway i missed coloring SO. MUCH. i want to pick up my tablet again and draw let me draw let me colorrrr

one thing i have to hand to people online who leave reviews on obviously low budget westerns is that at least they don't complain that it's an obviously low budget western. it seems that i can't say this for some of the people leaving reviews on obviously low budget queer movies
#i do have a specific movie in mind right now. yes. but it's not vagueposting anymore if i tell you it's long time no see (2017)#'their relationship moves too fast' this whole thing is 76 minutes what were you setting yourself up for#'it's like a fanfic' maybe ambitious gay romance action stories feel like fanfic to you because that's often the only place we get them#'it's cringe' 'it's mid' 'it felt rushed' it's a korean low budget queer movie (or miniseries) from 2017 about hitmen who fall in love!!!#give yourself a break and realize you may need to calibrate your expectations accordingly. because if you do this fucks#and even if it's not for you (which is fine! always!) then please. i beg of you. allow space for the fact that even as recently as 2017#this (a queer romance action drama with a happy ending) essentially Did Not Exist. and consider they may have done A Lot with what they had#(2017! it predates history3 trapped (2019). it predates the old guard (2020). it way predates kinnporsche (2022). i could go on)#(( < a weird list extremely & deeply worthy of interrogation. but i'm physically wrenching my own hands away to avoid typing 1000 tags))#((... and i'm not kidding about 'could go on'. i have compiled a very messy list and i'm THIS close to starting a spreadsheet. my god))#*#special bad take prize for anyone complaining that they have sex too soon btw. there's so much to unpack there

Monaco 🇲🇨, 5th September 2023
#im sooo bad at like. photo dumps and like. actively sharing things from travels bc idk i feel weirdly silly and self conscious about it#and i know tumblr isn't /the place/ for that like ig is (havent updated mine since like 2019) but it feels ~thematically relevant so w/e#having been there i can say i Get the appeal and the allure (and this wasn't even a race weekend just a normal ass tuesday)#and it was also very... almost fulfilling to visit the place that's been so pivotal to all the writing and headcanons and fic planning#and the setting of the race you've sat down to watch basically every year for the past 9 years#it always feels so magical and special and beautiful and yeah to actually Be There and experience it even if just for a day was so surreal#so yeah. very cool hope to be back again someday#sidenote imagine your face being plastered on city buses in your hometown........ i would be mortified actually#also!!!! honoring sebchal's legacy by literally taking that bus tour they talked about and then nothing came of it (all men do is lie)#*

“Throughout Henry’s exile, Margaret (Beaufort) seems to have been a faithful correspondent, keeping her son abreast of affairs in England. Though none of their letters from this period have survived, it is highly probable that they contained sentiments similar to those she expressed in her later letters to him: she often gave him her blessing, and on one occasion, in a reflection of her affection towards him, she assured Henry that ‘I trust you shall well perceive I shall deal towards you as a kind, loving mother’. At this time, however, Margaret was clearly considering the possibility of bringing about his return, though she also recognised that this would take time. As her standing with Edward IV improved, so too did her confidence to effect a reconciliation. If she could continue to win the king’s trust, Henry’s foreign exile could potentially be brought to an end.
By the beginning of June 1482, her efforts appear to have produced some results when Edward agreed that Henry could receive a share of his grandmother the dowager Duchess of Somerset’s lands to the value of £400 (£276,500) if he were to return ‘to be in the grace and favour of the king’s highness’. Edward signed the agreement on 3 June, attaching his official seal. A draft still survives and can be found among Margaret’s papers. The groundwork for Henry to return home had been laid. Edward’s grip on the reins of power was unchallenged, and with two surviving sons, his dynasty appeared to be assured—Margaret’s son was no longer a threat. Thus it was that, on an unknown date, Edward—curiously, using the same piece of paper on which Margaret’s second husband had been created Earl of Richmond—drafted a pardon for her son. Margaret began to hope that she and Henry would soon be reunited.”
- Nicola Tallis, “The Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful Life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch”
#historicwomendaily#history#margaret beaufort#henry vii#edward iv#kinda#this is SO interesting - I wish more people knew of it because it really changed my perception of Margaret AND henry AND edward#at the end of his reign#also since I'm quoting from her book I just wanted to point out: Nicola Tallis was beyond horrendous towards Elizabeth Woodville#and uncritically repeated a bunch of misogynistic tudor propaganda against margaret of york#AND was very weird about elizabeth of york's alleged 'feelings' for the uncle who bastardized her and murdered her brothers#even claiming that elizabeth felt 'spurned' by him (lmao)#i know that lots of historians have major issues writing about historical women who aren't their Special Favs#and that every historian is guilty of it to some extent#but to write about THREE women like this in 2019? that definitely takes things to a whole new shitty level lol

I think making sweeping generalizations of specific traits being considered "ugly" is not great the same way i think its rude and unnecessary to call others ugly, i also think its worthwhile to acknowledge that certain traits ARE considered "Ugly" due to societal beauty standards, that doesn't make them ACTUALLY ugly, bc beauty is subjective anyway, and can be found Anywhere, and even someone who seems to tick every single box of societal beauty Ideals will almost certainly have at least one trait or feature about their appearance that they are insecure about or feel is "ugly", bc even within the constraints of conventional attractiveness theres subjectivity
also this fish was so fucking Ugly and i adored it so much. i miss him.
he was also gorgeous.
#toy txt post#toy pic post#he passed in like. man. i want to say 2019? his name was Gus. he was a pink kissing gourami#the thing about albino fish is that they always look a little bit sickly and concerning. his head always seemed a little big for his body#like he was really old. when i got him he looked so bad cos he had wounds all over him from dads fish that got infected and the dude#straight up looked like a zombie. every day id wake up and prepare myself to find him dead. but he recovered and never went back in w the#fish that injured him. his face was hideous. he looked pale and sickly. his head was a little too big like he was super old#his scales were iridescent and pretty and shimmery. he had no concept of giving a shit about me finding him beautiful or not. not even on#his mind. simply not something he would think about. now. im sure he'd have some sort of beauty standard to hold himself to for mating if#that had been an option for him. but it wouldnt be the same. idk. i just. i love the idea. of animals that are not traditionally cute or#beautiful or charismatic and the fact that they do not give a single fucking shit what we think of the way they look. BOTH ways. a#a butterfly does not give a single thought tohow beautiful or inspiring you find the colors of its wings. the wolf fish does not care that#humans find it hideous and terrifying. it just looks the way that it does. its fine. its vibing. it just wants to live and survive and get#enough food. yes beauty is everywhere but so is ugly. and there is beauty in ugly. to me. there is beauty in not even thinking about#standards to be conformed to or not. the beauty is irrelevant. its not For You. it doesnt Matter. its just Existing. if you like how it#looks while it exists? great! good for you. if you dont? okay cry about it i guess. this ugly ass fish doesnt give a shit if humans find it#beautiful or not. he was just going to continue to use his lips covered in teeth to scrape biofilm and algae off the surface of rocks and#driftwood and play in the current of the filter.#let girls be ugly the way marine iguanas dont give a shit if humans find them pretty cos theyre just sunning themselves and eating seaweed#off rocks. all humans are beautiful. all humans are ugly. it doesnt matter. let us go dive into the ocean and scrape seaweed off the rocks#and then bask in the sun on a warm rock and not fucking worry about that#anyway also Yes ive seen uglier fish than him.i know they exist. but he was also special cos he was My Fish u see

I wish people would talk about the OST in the Yugioh Anime and Games more, (so I have an excuse to talk about my favourite tracks.)
#i should continue my 5ds posts i completely forgot (said in a neurodivergent way)#in wcs2007 the deck menu ost... literally so good#also duel links ost has been so nice i think its so underappreciated#ESPECIALLY THE KC CUP THEMES THEY KNOW HOW TO HYPE YOU UP!#when i got into yugioh again i was watching all the DL summonings cause i always loved seeing the monsters#and the KC CUP Stage 2 Theme from 2019 played#and I think that like. literally changed me as a person#i feel a bit embarrassed cause all i know js like. yugioh ost since i dont really listen to music outside from my special interests#so someone will ask me 'omg do you know this song?' and im ljke. sigh. no sorry i only know looming threat yugioh 5ds sound duel 2#also theres probably a lot of nostalgia involved but... oh well. it makes me happy so#random ramble#ramble in notes#yugioh
