[hyacinthsdiamonds]

I know we joke Lawrence Stroll is basically a bond villain, but my god, I have to take off my hat to him. Man joined this sport purely to support his son's career and dreams, and has seemingly just managed (not officially confirmed as yet) to nab the key to achieving those dreams in certified freaking car genius Adrian Newey, the man behind car designs that won 6 constructors' championships, 7 drivers championships, and earned 120 podiums to date for red bull alone. He's won 12 constructors' championships in total with 3 different Formula One teams (red bull, williams & mclaren). And now, he's apparently chasing Max too. I have to admire this man's sheer commitment, I now need him to win (sign newey & Max when the time comes) so badly now to see him rub the entire paddocks nose in it lmao.

[temtamtom]

since you're Italian, would you explain to me what this is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t3al1PBx09A&pp=ygUQcXVvIHZhZG8gdHJhaWxlcg%3D%3D

I died when he started praying to our flag😭💀 Jesus-🇳🇴🙏🏼😂 (as a norwegian I find this hilarious but I just want to know what the hell is going on, what is the plot??)

Here’s the link btw for those curious- it has English subtitles

😭😭 Ahh Checco Zalone

“Quo Vado?” Is a comedic/satirical film about a Southern Italian guy who has a “posto fisso” (secure position) job- basically working in the public sector- and is desperate to keep his job after a new government tries to downsize bureaucracy. A woman who works for the new government is desperately trying to get Checco to accept a buyout so he can quit, but he refuses because he wants the stability and benefits that are guaranteed to him even if he does fuck-all at work. So she sends him off to worse and worse job postings to get him to quit, but he refuses to back down. She eventually boots him to the arctic (where the 🇳🇴 bit happens), and he almost quits until he falls in love with an Italian researcher there. They do end up in Norway for a bit, but that’s as far as I’ll go with describing the synopsis, but I hope that explains enough shvbdhc

If you’re interested in watching it I’m sure you can find a version with English subs somewhere :o

i watched nosferatu (1979 version) last week and it's been living rent free in my mind ever since

[lovvecherrymotion]

hehehe didn't expect the ✨️uno reverse✨️ <3

In slovenia I'd love to go to the mountains! 🗻 I love mountain hiking very much so I hope I can go there one day. Of course to get to them is best to go through Ljubljana 😁

As for smut, anything with tension where you're still not sure if they'll fight or kiss 🫢 Remember when Nace tried to put "Nace's bitch" sunglasses on Jan and was promptly put in his place?? yeah that 😁 And this last jance hug uhhhhh... Imagine a setting where Nace is his usual loud giggly self, being a bit of an annoying shit (he learns from the best *cough* jere *cough*), and Jan finally gets enough. He doesn't want to loudly tell Nace to zip it because loud voice requires energy so Jan gets even more annoyed that Nace is too hyped and doesn't notice what Jan wants from him. So he stands up and shoves Nace to the wall. Hard. Of course Nace finds it even funnier because he's Nace! No one would be able to restrain him, right? No one would even think to try! Until Jan pins him to the wall so good that suddenly Nace forgets what was so funny and hey where did the oxygen go and why is he feeling so hot, his arms against the wall and Jan up to his face using all his body and muscles with ease so that Nace can't budge even an inch to a side... 😳

yeah I'd read that 🥵 (oops this got detailed lol)

hi, anon! i promise i didn't mean to leave you waiting, i just felt quite tired last night and went to sleep not long after your first message kfdgjlf

that sounds really fun! and very peaceful and relaxing ngl. do you go mountain hiking a lot? 💜

also... don't even apologize because this was VERY nice to read, i am very much into that 👀👀 jan is much stronger than people give him credit for but nace learns not to underestimate him from that moment on

[turtle--soup]

Watching TMNT Next Mutation episodes 5 and 6

Stream of consciousness liveblogging below the cut. If you're into that.

One of my favourite things about Next Mutation is the cartoon sound effects when the credits come up at the beginning of the show. Like I don't understand people who see that and expect anything after that point to be sensible.

Not a fan of dragon guy. But his little puppet friend? Different story entirely. What are their names? I wish I knew.

They're all sleeping on top of each other top to tail lol that's adorable

The sexy bike shots again lol my favourite character - Raph's bike 😘 🏍

Raph's just trying to help... why tf does every interaction between Leo and Raph end up with them fighting? Like they are literally beating each other up rn

They have an alarm to tell them when there's trouble and it's made with lights off a police car I love that!

Ooh sexy jeep shots too. They sell toys of these things?

"Raph and roll??" Did he just say that? Loser. 🤣 I love him

"Noisy ninjas! Next they're going to want a helicopter or maybe a tank" Splinter my guy you do not want to watch your boys later shows...

Donnie's portable detector thingy looks like it's made out of a Tiger R Zone Super Screen painted green??

"Don't call me Shirley" asdghghfgdgk this boy

I love Donnie so much he's such good quality.

They're all so dumb

"This is called the duck. Quack quack!" Donnie again. I feel like he's channelling 90s movie Don but he's possibly funnier.

Love it when Leo and Raph play nice they're a good team. Please stop making them fight I get it they disagree sometimes

Mega shellaaaaage!

"What are you up toooooooooo?" Bro wtf was that line delivery dragon dude? Hilarious.

Aw they're hugging 🥺

Leo is trying so hard to be meaningful and deep here but the scriptwriter is against him, poor guy.

Green... Time? OK.

--

They all sound like bagpipes when they meditate... Huuurrrrmmmmmmnnnmnmmnn

Venus fucking around with Raph lol fair enough. She doesn't deserve to have to put up with *gesturing at everything* this

God this script... who are they aiming this show at? Oh no wait... probably Power Rangers fans. That's why I'm still here. I'm immune.

I think they're trying to give Leo his classic anxiety but they're also trying to be like THESE GUYS ARE SO MACHO GRRRR so it's like Oh No I SUCK I Ruined Everything Time To Break A Chair

"My music's different too..." this could be such a cute moment but Splinter is beating him up now as well... 😩 Like I get it, but come on. The tonal whiplash you can get during the course of one line in this show is incredible.

These SOUND EFFECTS omg TA DAAAAA

It's like they have to be talking ALL the time.

Donnie can make radar noises apparently.

Is puppet guy sitting on dragon dude's lap? Aw.

Honestly Venus is op. I have my issues with them throwing in extra turtles (I don't like change! And I always have reservations when they introduce girl characters to a mostly male cast, even now...) but she's fun and interesting and her powers are ridiculous. Can't help but wonder how much of the hate she got (and still gets from some people) is just like the kind of thing that happened with Furiosa when Mad Max Fury Road came out. Hmm...

God I wish I had more free time to watch this idiotic show I am enjoying this more than I should but it's also kiiiinda frustrating ngl

Voiceplay Visuals: We Don't Talk About Bruno

("You're gonna show/talk about That Moment, right?" Yes of course I will be showing/talking about That Moment; who do you take me for? 😝)

This video was uploaded on the 26th of February, 2022, it features Ashley Diane (in her second full-length collaboration with Voiceplay), and it is of course a cover of the ridiculously-popular song We Don't Talk About Bruno, from the very-popular Disney movie Encanto (which I have seen 2 or 3 times, including in cinemas, but I'm also very familiar with the movie soundtrack, because it's amazing). To cover such a popular song (let alone acapella-style) can be a challenging task, because obviously there'll be a lot of people who'll already know the original song quite well and who will be prepared to make comparisons, but this is Voiceplay we're talking about! They're not called "the theatre kids of acapella" for nothing, and Disney covers is one of the things they do best (and the video currently sits at a very impressive 5.6 million views on Youtube! (EDIT: as of the 13th of March, it's now 5.7 million!))

So of course I have a lot to talk about with this one, so let's get into it!

Layne was in charge of the video, arrangement, and direction for this one, and he and Tony worked together on set design and costuming. Needless to say, Layne and Tony did an amazing job (and yes, this was of course filmed at Pattycake Productions Studio, which Layne and Tony own and run together)

As for the costuming/characters: Cesar is playing Felix (is it perfect casting, or is Cesar just amazing at slipping into basically any role he's given? You decide), Ashley plays triple roles of Pepa, Isabela, and Mirabel, Eli is maybe Agustin (Agustin doesn't have a lead singing part in the song but the outfit is close enough), Layne is Dolores, and Geoff is either Camilo, Bruno, or both (Camilo pretending to be Bruno perhaps, like in the original scene in the movie?)

If we don't count Jingle Bell Rock (where Eli was wearing glasses while dressed as "Sandy Claws", then I'm fairly certain this is the last/most recent time that Eli has actually worn glasses for a Voiceplay video? And perhaps the only time he's worn them since growing out his facial hair.

Also I'm pretty sure I heard from someone that Geoff's "ruana" (google it) is in fact just a regular blanket/piece of fabric draped (possibly secured/pinned) over his shoulders (it's kind of a Look though ngl)

Not even 30 seconds in and I already stumbled upon a way-funnier-than-expected screencap 🤣

*pfft* XD

Basically, Cesar 100% understood the assignment as Felix, totally hammed it up, and it's highly entertaining 😁

(Also I swear Geoff did a very miniscule eyeroll here? Amazing, love him)

"Hey where'd you get that?" 😂

I know I'm not meant to be talking about vocals in these posts (per my own rules), but I have to give a big shoutout to Layne, who freaking killed it with Dolores's solo part, and it's always so lovely to hear him actually getting a vocal part in a song, as amazing as he is at vocal percussion 💜

Cesar continuing to do The Most (affectionate), and also it's kinda sweet how Geoff is looking at Layne here imo <3 (and also it kinda fits with how the characters they're playing, Camilo (probably) and Dolores are siblings!)

"Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand." "Do you understand?"

(If you're rewatching a Voiceplay video, try shifting your focus to someone other than whoever you typically focus on for a certain part of the song! It will probably be worth it!)

Trust Geoff to get a dark/spooky section of the song! Voiceplay is nothing if not consistent 😝 (well, sometimes, in regards to some things 😂)

"When he calls your name, it all-" "-fades to black"

I was trying to get a good screencap of Cesar and Ashley on the "we! don't! talk about Bruno!" line, but eh, couldn't get a decent one.

(Oh btw obligatory kudos to Eli for lighting design!)

"He told me my fish would die, the next day, DEAD!"

(Great face, Ashley 😂👌)

Also pay attention to Geoff during this line (before it cuts to a closeup of Ashley) - I love his little shoulder shimmy to the more-uptempo beat!)

"He said that all of my hair-"

"-would disappear..."

"Now look at my head!"

(Rip Eli, but there was no way anybody else was singing that line - it was practically made for him! 😆) (Also love Ashley touching his head in comfort/sympathy 😄)

"He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be miiine"

(Yes yes of course Ashley is very pretty and I love the petals and the slow-mo on her, now CUE!)

"He told me that my power would grow, like the grapes that thrive on the viiiine"

Yep, that still continues to be up there as one of the most bonkers-ridiculous moments in a Voiceplay video ever. 🤣 (Also if it weren't hilarious enough, check out Ashley's Offended(tm) face in the first and second pictures above, and Layne's Extremely Concerned face in the second picture! ("uhh, Geoff. something you wanna tell me, dude?"))

I'm a little fuzzy on specifics, but apparently the idea for this moment came about when Voiceplay was acquiring clothing for everyone, and Ashley's outfit arrived in two different sizes (just in case one might fit better than the other). Turns out one of the copies of the outfit was a perfect fit for Geoff, and one thing led to another, and we ended up with Aspiring Disney Princess Geoff that you see in the images above 😄😋)

(When I said "don't just get you a man who can do both, get yourself a man that can do everything" back in my Frozen 2 Medley post, I meant it!!!)

(Oh and this section really was slowed down in post-production in order to make the petals (and hair flips!) look nice, and so both Ashley and Geoff were having to sing/lip-sync to sped up versions of their vocal lines!)

"Hey sis..."

(I don't know why this is so funny but it just is 😂)

Ashley in glasses for Mirabel's part!

"Seven foot frame, rats along his back!" *(goat scream)*

(Genuinely not even joking about the goat scream actually)

Geoff and Cesar were competing this whole video in terms of who could be the Biggest Ham I swear 😂

I somehow didn't pick up on this till a commenter pointed it out, but Layne copies Geoff's "spooky finger wiggles" movement! It's got Younger Sibling vibes ngl (though Dolores is actually older than Camillo iirc, and I'm an only child anyway so idk)

Ashley and Cesar were both great in this video, really seemed to play off each other quite a bit!

Man, what a video. Amazing to watch, and also a really great to watch other people react to, for multiple reasons! 😁

There's not much for me to say that I haven't already said about Voiceplay before, but I will say that if you liked this one, go watch their Mini for Surface Pressure if you haven't already! It was filmed during the same shoot as this one (same set, same clothes), and uploaded a few days prior. It's only a short video, sure, but it's still very much worth a watch.

[coredrill]

this post is not abt bravern but it Is abt my Bravern Feelings

i miss this show so much already SOBS. i did enlist another g roup of irl friends to watch it w me though and we are starting tomorrow so yay :] and also beware the rewatch posts

[guy who has said that i'm glad i watched this live every week voice] i'm rly glad i watched this live, but this time its bc. i think there is something so truly and genuinely special abt the way that the theories abt bravern himself evolved week to week.........like at first everyone was like Well maybe he's an evil alien who is gonna Kill isami. and then everyone was like Well maybe he's a death drive and isami is his lulu. and THEN everyone was like Well there's still some knuth in there so. but none of that was the case!!! none of that was true!!! it was literally just this one guy and all of the love he has and Absolutely Sucks Shit at expressing!!!!!!! and i just. idk. that hits me rly hard that maybe it was percieved as sinister at first just cause it was a little Off but in the end it was something really really sweet :] it also just feels like yet another way of the show doing its "we know audiences aren't willing to accept optimism at face value these days" schtick like they mentioned in that one interview and just. showing how bravern himself evolves in the eyes of the viewer. it's rly special to me :]

i know bravern speaking german in ep2 was a nod to the translator he uses on superbia later but. what if someone loved you so much they became german (if i ever mention kyouji again in a bravern context just fucking shoot me)

WILD to watch the finale and then see the isami hate train take off FKSJDHFJ cause i feel like i adored him so much in that ep LMAO. my guy really felt every emotion known to man in the span of 22 minutes and then started makin gup new ones. he's very human!!! and i love that abt him!!!!

although some takes. i'm ngl. i know we joke abt subtext and cowards but it becomes less funny when the subtext that is there is missed LMAO

sorry to keep bringing up ep4 but i think its SO interesting how like. the way that bravern seems to helps isami out emotionally in that ep actually ends up not helping him in the long run aswell? like getting to know all those ppl care abt him is good ofc but it also feeds Directly into his hangups in ep5. and i remember being a little confused as to Why that was the case on first watch cause ep4 was So abt his beef w lulu (FLSDKJFH) but w the smith being a human again thing in the end it makes. so much more sense!!!!! i can't wait to rewatch the show w it still fresh in my mind and find even more!!!!!!

and omg the beef with lulu. literally nothing is funnier to me than "we are gonna have one Rival Fight in this show and that position is gonna be filled by isami and smith's fucking KID" SOBS. LIKE. it kills me FKSLDJFHL. though i will say again that i think it is So fucking special that in ep10 lulu specifically calls out isami taking care of her after smith dies and it apparently happens to such a degree that like. he is worth her time traveling back to save independently aswell? even though there was no way that he "took care of her" for more than a couple days? which i think just says so much abt isami in the sense that like. at no point before ep6-7ish in his arc would he have even entertained that idea. uwu

i think i said this before but ikd if i included the screenshot but. the fact that while bravern is dying he sees THAT SAME FUCKING PICTURE is just evidence that men do not take enough photos i think

there is literally Nothing more onbrand for bravern than the fucking. "ep13 abema listing" (if anyone who has not heard abt that sees this. it was just a rebroadcast of ep12 mislabeled) sending everyone into a tizzy regarding like. Secret Episode Question Mark except half of everyone being convinced its an april fools joke and the other half being convinced that the april fools joke is that we didn't expect it. and then it turns out to not be interntional atall and the real april fools joke is Fry Pan. SOBS

Crunchyroll I Am Begging You If You Dub This Please Dub The Songs Too Oh My God (<- delusional)

anyways!!!!!!!!!!! again i know recency bias is the killa but god. i really loved this show a lot!!!! it might be an alltime fave story for me in general!!!!!! even if it's not it was a really special experiance and story on the whole and i'm just really really happy i get to carry it in my heart forever :]

[nono-bunny]

Istg Futari wa Precure villains are like. A lot sadder than I would've imagined

Like literally they WILL die if they don't all manage to sustain the Dark King's existence, and they're genuinely treated terribly by him because of how expandable they are. None of them so far really seem to particularly relish what they have to do, but that's just it- they HAVE to, or else, they die. Honoka getting angry at them for being selfish for not wanting to die was bizarre tbh, like, yes, of course they're in the wrong for dooming other races/worlds, but also? Like literally they're just trying to survive and it's really sad!! I feel bad for them like, all the time, it's really tragic in a way! I know they have at least one redeemed general (which I gathered is what the minibosses are called in PreCure?) and honestly, yeah, absolutely, that checks out with their portrayal so far and what we see of their circumstances!! Probably they're all gonna die still rather than like, idk find an alternate way of co-existing peacefully with the rest of the world so it's still gonna end in tragedy for their entire race or whatever but. I do genuinely really like the way they handle the villains here

Also I was genuinely surprised to see Honoka having to deal with killing a person for a hot sec before the show remembered it's a kids show and obfuscated the whole thing with a "he's reborn in the ether" metaphor or whatever- that scene was both heartbreaking and hilarious because of that, ngl

Btw for context, rn I think I'm at Gekidrago's last episode? Ngl that dude was much funnier than I expected, I enjoyed him a lot! Probably not as much as David Bowie Pisard the piss (or maybe pizza?) wizard, but still!

Ok so I’m gonna give you another request(at this point I’m gonna take up most of them LMAO) but it’s a little less chaotic(you can make it more chaotic though if you want 💀)

If you don’t know MC is actually good with children(it was shown in a event at some point) so can do you a fic where Lance and MC are taking care of Christoph at the academy(so like in the future of after the chaos of her and Christoph being brought to one of Iritium’s hidy places) cuz it’s safer there then whenever Christoph was staying before and Christoph is like “Ya know, I don’t remember my parents but if I had to guess, you two are the closest to them” and MC’s heart just melts cuz that’s the cutest thing she’s ever been told and Lance is like 😦😶🫢😅🥹(cuz istg they’re adorable, like father like son and like brother like brother) and Lance has already had a crush on MC by this point so when he registers what was said about them being a mother and father figure to Christoph he’s like “Ay me and MC having a family doesn’t sound so ba- wait what”

I just find this a really cute idea haha

This is really cute- Awe 😭😭 Ngl this is my first time writing this cute, I’m used to writing chaotic fics more because they’re funnier to me 💀. And I don’t mind how much times you ask lol

Anyways ahem-

Lance X Reader

~The Cottage Life~

Warning: Just a little bit of cursing (I don’t know what you expect from me 💀) Also gross fluff-

TW: Children

After you and Lance graduated from the academy officially, everyone of the princes and Valets started to fulfill their duties in the kingdom.

You and Lance decided to go run off somewhere with Christoph, Robin and Grusha with the full support of the princes helping you out and keeping where you both are hidden.

That leads you prior to now, you all found a abandoned cottage in the forest near a small village that are out fast leading people to not recognize any of you.

The cottage was rundown, full of dust, cobwebs, pest and such. But it seemed perfect at least, it has three bedrooms which you all split up, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a dusty living room which would sure be troublesome fixing but it could work.

It took you all months to finally renovate the cottage, but in the end it was all worth it. It finally felt like home, you and Lance both got separate jobs around the small village while Christoph would stay home protected by the fierce wolf and cat.

Lance felt at peace finally after many years of his old life, he was finally free of everything around it, he was undoubtedly happy.

He does have his worries sometimes about you though, longing to be something more than friends but to prideful to say anything about it.

Of course he had his moments out of nowhere he would bring animals home using his puppy eyes to keep him while you kicked his ass to the curb outside when he brought in a camel that one time.

Christoph also seems to enjoy this all, he has fun playing games with you and Lance, not worrying about the dangers out in the world.

He never had a real family up until now, he heard you say once that you all were like a family the other day and he felt extremely joyful over it. He cares about you and Lance with all his being.

.

.

.

You all were sitting in the living room playing a card game while Robin and Gruscha were exploring the forest together.

You were in the lead since you and your parents used to be extremely good at board games in general during family game night.

Lance banged his head in the table clearly frustrated looking at you with his brows furred together.

You teasingly smirked at him, “Aw what’s the matter Lance? You want your baby bottle? You give up already” You smiled teasing him even more

“What ever MC I’ll get it next time it’s just my luck.” He said glaring at you.

“Haha yeah right luck.” You said while giggling and rolling your eyes.

Christoph smiled looking at you both, he was clearly having a good time he then spoke; “Ya know, I don’t remember my parents but if I had them you two would be closest to them.”

You then started coughing trying to hide the blush growing on your face. Lance wasn’t doing anything better he put his head down with his ears showing how flustered he was.

Christoph clearly not clueless looked back and forth at you both smiling, knowing what was happening.

“Christoph don’t say things like that out of nowhere.”MC said looking away with a red face.

Lance looked up suddenly secretly amused at the sight of MC blushing his heart started racing, ‘I mean it wouldn’t be that bad if we were all a- WAIT NO’

Lance soon shook the thought out of his mind.

Christoph watched as you both were having your identity crisis.

“Well I’m gonna go upstairs in my room and take a nap.” Christoph said making a fake big yawn while walking up the stairs in a hurry leaving you and Lance alone.

…

You looked back down at Lance to take a peek at his reaction to realize how flustered he looked, you then smiled, realizing you have a chance if you play it cool.

“So Lance wanna play the dad of our happy family?” You winked, and cringed secretly at your bad attempt at flirting.

Lance looked up and blushed a little more looking hard into your eyes, you both stared at each other clearly both nervous.

“Well, I think I should go finish my novel in my room.” You said while quickly getting up on your feet running upstairs to avoid the awkwardness of the whole situation.

Lance soon snapping out of his thoughts, watched you book it up the stairs fast before he could say anything to you, he then looked down to his hands all of the sudden disappointment.

.

.

.

After a few hours passed, it is now night. You were on your bed tucked in reading a good mystery novel.

Robin decided to sleep with Christoph which you didn’t mind because lately Robin has been getting a habit of sleep talking and kicking you in his sleep.

You put the book down all of the sudden with a certain memory of your poor attempt at flirting crossed your mind. Never to let you live it down, you put a pillow to your face rolling around and then hitting your head on the pillow trying to get rid of the embarrassing thought.

… knock knock

Pulled you out of your thoughts. You assumed it was Christoph trying to convince you take backs for Robin.

So you got up and opened the door to see Lance staring down at you with pink tinted cheeks looking away.

“Hello?” You spoke asking him thinking of anything else to hide the blush trying to get on your face.

“… May I come in to speak with you?” He asked still looking at the back of my room avoiding eye contact.

“Sure- I don’t mind at all.” You embarrassingly spoke to quickly.

“Here Lance come on in,”

Lance soon stood in the middle of the room as you took a seat on your bed. He walked towards you and crouched down to you level looking directly at you eyes and whispered in your ear…. “I love you”

You then looked up at him while your heart started beating so fast, you whisper the same affirmation as him as well.

“I love you too Lance”

Lance pulled out a small smile which was rare but everytime you saw it you adored it.

“May I kiss you?” He looked away embarrassed he asked you.

You pulled him down and kissed his lips he then kissed you back passionately.

You both were kissing until-

“MC? Lance?” Christoph came into the room shocked and clearly traumatized at the scene.

Robin and Gruscha were behind him clearly also traumatized at the scene.

It's technically a tiny part of my huge tma au where they're a sideplot but shhhhh...

So when i originally imagined Ollie, I always thought of him as having shorter hair than the dreads most people draw him with but I've slowly accustomed to it so consider with me:

Ollie shaving his head after Mike died because he feels like he needs a fresh start (but instead it just makes him feel more upset)

DYING ngl i always headcanoned him having relatively shorter hair (like a few inches tall afro combed out) and he just braids in extensions. And then idk death power ooo spooky makes it ombre white. Or he switched those out himself. Oliver vc: yeah Terminus im going over to the corpse roots in a sec im getting my hair done ill be 6hrs

But for me i give him the longer dreads because something something roots imagery idk he just felt like a long hair goth to me. He does have short hair occasionally inbetween braid ins n stuff. As i type this i am realizing dreads cant be braided in. U know what funnier thought he brings the razor to his head and remembers how much time went into them and then he just shaves his beard and instantly regrets it.

Mike being dug out and going sick! Im aliveish again what day is it and Oliver tells him and Mike is like. Huh that seems longer than i expected and Oliver is like. I cannot fucking tell him i waited for my beard to grow back first i cant

[cookie-waffle]

I’m currently attempting to watch every animated Disney movie, as well as some of the classic live-action ones, in order (skipping Song of the South and the WW2 propaganda stuff ofc)

Some quick thoughts on the movies I’ve rewatched so far:

Sleeping Beauty- A classic that was a huge influence on the world of animation. We wouldn’t have a lot of the pop culture we have today if it weren’t for this movie. Not much else to say about it. I do wish that Snow White was not 14, because it makes the Dwarves creepy with that context. But, luckily, it never states that she’s 14 so you can just tell any kid you show the movie to that she’s a grown up.

- Pinocchio- Still very fun. Pinocchio himself is very cute and likable. My only real issue is Stromboli. I THINK he’s supposed to be Romani, and if he is then his portrayal is pretty racist. But I think it will fly over most kids heads. I know it did for me when I was a kid.

- Fantasia: Absolutely fantastic. The quality is so high that I actually didn’t know it was from the 40s till I re-watched it. I will say though, that the parts with the human composers on screen may bore some kids. Of course, the biggest issue is a pretty racist caricature of a black person in the centaur short, but that scene has actually been cut out for years. I’m not a super huge fan of animation studios censoring their racist histories, but the upside is that you can probably show this to your kids without much worry.

-Dumbo- “Baby mine” makes me cry harder as an adult than I did as a kid. It’s a very cute and simple movie, but of course it’s biggest downfall is the racist “black” crows. But at the very least, the stereotypes shown in the crows are so old that modern day kids wouldn’t be able to associate them with black people, so it’s probably still okay to show them the movie.

- Bambi: Still as good as I remember. Watching the little animal kids play around is genuinely adorable. Bambi’s mother dying is still sad. Idk what else I can say tbh. And there’s no racism or weird underage stuff, so it’s perfectly fine to show kids.

- Saludos Amigos- Although there were some outdated depictions of south American people that may be considered offensive, I was expecting much worse. It was still enjoyable and I’d say it’s still probably okay to show to kids. It also debuted José the parrot, who I’ve grown to like a lot.

- The three Caballeros: It was fun. Idk what else to say about it other than I’m glad José got a lot of screen time. And Donald Duck is always funny, so I did laugh. Ngl I kinda ship the caballeros as a polycule now lmao.

- Fun and Fancy free: Aside from The Three Caballeros, this is the only classic Disney movie I did not see as a child. It’s cute. I enjoyed it and liked how Jimmy Cricket was the host. The Bongo short was adorable and I really wish I saw it as a kid (I THINK I saw the Jack and the Beanstalk short as a kid, but maybe I’m just misremembering scenes from House of Mouse.) I found it really interesting to see something that was such a clear product of WW2z Walt Disney was not a perfect man by any means, but this movie shows that he truly wanted to make people happy during a dark time in history. It’s no Lion King, but it’s still an enjoyable movie. I just don’t recommend it if you have a phobia of puppets/marionettes because the second short shows them a lot.

- The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad: I absolutely loved this. I remembered some of the Ichabod story from childhood, but completely forgot the Mr. Toad part of the movie, so a lot of it was like watching a new movie. Ichabod was still as good as I remembered, but Mr. Toad was WAY funnier than I remembered. The man is a menace to society and I love him.

-Cinderella: I am shocked at how much I loved this as an adult. It’s probably the most well-aged of all the classic Disney Princess movies. It’s about an abuse survivor finally getting what she wants, and honestly? That simple concept is enough for me to love it. I also greatly appreciate how there’s no old racist stereotypes and that Cinderella herself is an actual adult and not 14-16.

- Alice in Wonderland: Absolutely nothing wrong with this one. It’s Alice in Wonderland, idk what else to say about it. The Mad Hatter is still my favorite character just like he was during my childhood. Only new thing I could say is that, as an adult, I finally realized just how fucked up the oyster story was lol. Overall, I think this is a harmless movie to show kids. It’s also fun to watch while high lol.

- Robin Hood: Ah yes, the movie that planted the furry seed in my head as a child. I think I actually enjoyed this more as an adult. King John is very entertaining. This is honestly one of those underrated Disney Gems. Only real criticism I have is the part when Robin and Little John disguise as stereotypical romani women, but I highly doubt most kids will actually understand what they’re referencing.

- Peter Pan: I’ll admit, I have a soft spot for Peter Pan. And watching the movie as an adult, Captain Hook made me laugh a lot at all his slapstick. I think he’s one of my favorite Disney Villains after rewatching it. But, I do have to address the pink elephant in the room: the racist portrayal of native Americans. Tiger Lilly is the only native character who isn’t designed with super racist overtones. As someone who has a lot of native blood, I have mixed feelings in this movie. I think it would still be okay to show kids this movie to kids if you explained to them that that part of the movie was inaccurate, or just fast forwarded through the racist scenes. It’s certainly NOT the most racist thing that Disney has ever animated, but I can understand why you wouldn’t wan’t to show this to your kids. Other than that, everything else is fantastic and really captures that “Disney magic”

- Lady and the Tramp: This movie is adorable and it WOULD be perfectly fine if it weren’t for the racist siamese cats. However, it’s a similar situation to Dumbo in that the stereotypes are so old that the vast majority of kids will not associate them with the race they’re making fun of (I know I didn’t as a kid)

-Sleeping Beauty: This film’s visuals are absolutely amazing. The animation is fantastic and the design of Maleficent is peak. And I like how Prince Phillip actually has some personality. However, the one GLARING issue with this movie is Araura’s age. Unlike in Sleeping Beauty, they verbally confirm several times that Aurora is 15-16 years old. Personally, I would not want my kids to think that it’s okay to get married at that age. However, when I was a kid, I did not pick up on her age at all. I had always assumed that Aurora was in her early to mid-20s because that’s how old she looks. So, I can’t really say if this is appropriate to show to kids or not. It’s really up to you.

- 101 Dalmations: Simple, but very cute, especially if you’re a dog person. Cruella Devils is a super entertaining villain, and it’s honestly a refreshing change that she isn’t an evil queen or witch, she’s just a massive bitch. I love that. Perfectly fine to show to kids.

I'm so scared the dub for Bucchigiri just came out and I'm terrified it's not going to meet my expectations 😭

Im sorry for how long this is gonna be 💀 I'm adding as I watch the episode 😭

- WHY DOES ARAJIN SOUND LIKE THAT?

- In the sub they pronounced the I in Honki (honk-eye or Hon-kai) but in the dub as Honki (honk-ee) 😭

- The OP is making me feel better 😊

- Hearing Arajin asking if there's any cute girls in the class feels so wrong 😭 The voice sounds so similar but I can't place it rn

- Mahoros voice isn't too bad, also expected hers to be a little higher but it works, kinda reminds me someone that is doing a slight baby talk ngl like old MLP or old Care Bears

- I LOVE ZABUSSSSS <333 (I was PRAYING he was done good 💀)

- KAMAOS ALSO SOUNDS SO SIMILAR I JUST CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT AHHH

- THEY ALSO DID MATAKARA JUSTICE LET'S GOO 😭

- Pretty neutral about Maritos

- Not Kamao breathing loudly while sleeping 💀

- Loving the NG Gangs voices ngl

- Senyas voice is cool, was expecting a little bit deeper lol

- THE SONG WHEN SIGUMA SHOWED UP >>>

- love Outas voice <3 can't wait to hear Jabashiri

- DID ARAJIN SAY SWEET MAMA?! (20:24 minutes in)

- Zabus attempt at whistling is funnier in dub 😂

- NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW HOW YOU'RE A VIRGIN DUDE.

In the end Arajin needs to get his goofy ass out and Marakara is still a cute patootie <3

GAWDDAMN BRO IS OBSESSEDDDDD 😭 jk i enjoy all these little comments BUT this is not convincing me to watch the dub . I ZONT PLAY AROUND W IT its either i watch it in sub or dub there is no both ... ALSO ngl i did not know any other characters other than arajin and matakara but i finally actually know who zabu is .. BLUE HAIR GUY !!

[oh-three]

Andor

They would call the episode Rix Road. Not only is that where I bet everything will go down, but the road's been mentioned so much that I'm happy to see it named as a show of how significant it is.

The title theme for this episode speaks doom.

Dedra taking a shuttle to Ferrix and landing beside one of the Rogue One cargo shuttles. Subtle...

Cassian's friends remaining loyal to him even as their planet's fallen so deep beneath Imperial rule...love them. Even Paak's son, I'm curious what he's up to.

"He can't hear me." Oh, Perrin, if only you knew. Fucking Kloris.

Either Vel or Cinta is going to die, I'm calling it. (I'm personally going for Cinta, since we've seen so much of Vel and have been learning about who she is vs Cinta)

Omg, Clem flashback

Rancor dogs????????????????

Shit, I forgot Cassian doesn't know about Bix. He's missed a lot.

NEMIK 😭 Thank you for inspiring Cassian- for giving him hope- even after your death 😭

Ahh, Kloris is spying for Blevin. That makes sense, I was wondering if we'd see him again. He'd seemed to important to be pushed aside by even Dedra.

Rip Kreegyr

Maarva's message 😭

Nothing is funnier to me than Mossk coming back to Ferrix with Syril

Oh, Luthen's come back to. Literally everyone expect for Mon and those related to her situation. But he actually wants Cassian dead. Wow.

Jesus Christ, the people of Ferrix have music talent. This is a funeral worth remembering. It's gonna turn into an uprising though, isn't it?

I knew something was off about that one guy. Helping the ISB dude.

Imagine Cassian wasn't on Ferrix and everyone was there for no reason. Kinda funny, since Dedra brought death troopers.

ISB is gonna lose Cassian because they try to kill him against orders, I just know it.

Bix is coming back to herself, I think.

Oh my god, Maarva, what have you done. Yeah, uprising on the way for sure. She's inspiring them with this one. Damn, that speech.

Called it.

Oh shit, Paak's kid built a bomb. Pretty scary one, too.

Oh hey, stormtroopers.

I have a feeling Ferrix isn't recovering from this one.

How the hell did Bee survive the explosion???

Lmao Cinta stabbing the ISB guy

Way to go, bell tower guy!

Oh my god, Syril saving Dedra. I hate him.

Fuck, Cass is never seeing Bee again, is he 😭

Aww, Bix. ❤ She deserved so much better.

Oh great, Mon actually agreed to it. I knew it was coming, but wow.

The parallel clip of Luthen riding across the badlands of Ferrix vs episode three. Kinda expected Cassian to be waiting for him ngl

"Kill me, or take me in." PERFECT FUCKING ENDING.

So, Narkina Five was helping build the Death Star. Kinda knew it, but it's still chilling to see. And the fact that it's nearly done.

[amethyst-the-necromancer]

Ngl I think it's really funny that marcias made it this far. I wasn't expecting it at all. She'd absolutely hate that she made it to the semifinals in a necromancer sexyman contest. Lord fabian deserves the win much more than her however I think it would be really really funny if marcia won

It would be hilarious if she won, and even funnier if we had a live reaction to her winning.

I didn't expect her to come this far either, never underestimate the Septimus Heap fandom.
