Imagine the dragonets of destiny watching Encanto and the oldest three (Clay, Tsunami, Glory) start crying at Surface Pressure while the younger two (Starflight, Sunny) start crying at Waiting on a Miracle

Listing two in the tags, get ready for unpopular opinions

reblog and put in the tags a fictional character you think don’t deserve their popularity

Seriously the song open up your eyes from the mlp movie sounds exactly like a dark Dog Man au.

Warning: I basically spoil Petey's entire backstory in this so don't read if you haven't read up to book 10.

Imagine AToTK (Dog Man 3) except after Petey takes his son clone from Dog Man's house and finds that LP apparently likes him a lot now, Petey locks Li'l Petey in a cage and sings that song to turn him evil.

Petey is definitely one to rant about something like this (if you don't believe me read ANY DM book then come back). While he normally keeps his personal history to himself, I see this as a situation where he finally snaps (plus this is a dark au so added bonus)

So Petey telling LP to start acting like an villain like him and to "give up (his) sweet fantasyland" is a concept I find very interesting!

ESPECIALLY THE BACKSTORY PART. The lyrics fit so well with Petey's story!

Getting rejected by the soon-to-be FLEAS (I once hoped for friendship / To find a place among my kind), the implied abuse at his home (The "We all start out the same" stanza), eventually being rejected by society for being a criminal's assistant (If you depend on others / You'll never find your place) and finally turning to villainy and not looking back (The best way to survive is all alone)

And this tactic might actually work, even against the optimism of Li'l Petey; keep in mind that in the seventh book, Petey's pessimistic behavior rubbed off on LP after Grampa raided their house. So who knows?

TL;DR: Listen to this cover (I particularly like that one) with the Peteys and see what you think!

My main problem with CWACOM 2 isn’t the character regression (though that is a problem). It isn’t the horrible title (though that’s another issue).

No, my problem with the sequel is that it can’t take a single emotional scene seriously. Cloudy 1 had several scenarios that elicited fear, anger, or otherwise from the audience, Flint’s presumed death coming to mind. Yet every time Cloudy 2 attempts this, some random joke forces a laugh out of the audience and ruins the scene.

Take the vesting ceremony for instance. Flint loses his chance to impress Chester V by way of saying the word “celebrate” and prompting Steve to trigger the Party-In-A-Box. He gets laughed at, pointed at, all that stuff. In the next scene, he walks home holding the worst slouch a human can, while a ridiculous song plays in the background. All this confuses the viewer; are we supposed to feel bad for Flint, or laugh at the song and/or how much he’s slouching?

Some more examples of this under the cut:

When Tim comes to Flint’s room to comfort him after the vesting ceremony, the bed tips over on impact of him sitting on it. Also Steve experiences some *cough* shenanigans involving a party horn in the background.

While assembling the team to go back to the island, Earl spontaneously abandons Cal and presumably Regina without a goodbye (when it was shown in the first movie that Earl is a family man)

In the next scene, Manny spontaneously abandons a cow midlabor without appointing someone to finish the job (when it was shown in the first movie that Manny takes doctoring very seriously)

(I’m skipping the scene with Brent since that’s pretty in character for once in this movie)

After Sam takes a liking to Barry, she thrusts him into Flint’s face. What follows is a very, very stretched gag solely consisting of Flint screaming.

When the gang finds the rest of the foodimals, they gasp in the manner of the first movie. Unlike the first, everyone does it simultaneously and for a ridiculously long time.

While everyone is running from the cheespider, the background music gets so loud that it’s really all you can pay attention to.

Those are the examples I have on my end, if I think of any more I’ll probably edit the post or reblog. Have a good day :)

Heyy just an intellectual of the Dog Man series reminding you that Petey has never canonically kissed Li’l Petey

Excuse me for a moment. (cont'd in tags)

Odd Squad Season 4 is currently being filmed!!

Yup that’s right, Odd Squad is back! However, it is being filmed in the UK instead of Canada where the show is based. In addition, it will air on CBBC, not sure if it will air on PBS Kids.

There will be 24 x 12 min episodes, and the actors are UK-based with Canadian accents. Filming will be from 17th July through 20th October 2023

Huge thanks to alphaserendipi on twitter and Sanikratt for finding these! I will share the links to the sources in the notes :)

But OMIGOD GET HYPED!! Odd Squad is BACK!!

I just watched Tangled and the Captain Underpants movie (in that order) back-to-back. Now I’m thinking about @tornrose24 and @princeasimdiya12′s Braided Together fanfic (CU x Tangled) and how amazing it was

[weirdthingskid]

The Post Where I Actually Explain the DM Tangled AU, Part 2

The cops are the royal guards

However, Chief isn’t the captain (since he takes the role of Maximus), Old/Evil Mayor is

Chief is the most trusted guard, both by the public and by the queen

Knight and Greg were great guards too, albeit the former is dumb like in canon

At some point, Greg in particular crosses paths with Li’l Petey, who has a different name

They don’t meet for very long, but it’s long enough that they somewhat recognize each other when DM crashes into the tower...

On LP’s side, he had lived with Flippy and the 22 tadpoles, before volunteering for a little project hosted by the FLEAS

Said “project” was just testing their (read: Piggy’s) various inventions, with the last one being a cannon that accidentally-kinda-on-purpose shot him off to parts unknown

(Note: if you didn’t read the first part, LP was thrown into the tower where Petey was being held hostage hidden - and yes, he does change his name at some point)

Okay now back to Dog Man

When both Knight and Greg get hurt in an explosion (Knight with a useless head, Greg with a useless body, like in canon), it’s ultimately Nurse Lady that comes up with a solution

The doctors were worried that cutting off Greg’s head would kill him, and even if it didn’t, the stitches wouldn’t work

Nurse Lady is a magic user, so she enchants the stitches to preserve his life

So now DM’s technically magic but he can’t use it

Over the next few months, he dutifully defends the kingdom, which the citizens praise him for

However, when he’s not saving Collardale, he’s getting in trouble (courtesy of Evil Mayor and Chief) for rolling in trash or sleeping on the job again

So I have two ideas for how Dog Man could be Flynn (bc let’s face it, he’d never steal the crown on purpose, below the break or it would get too long)

Idea One

Evil Mayor reluctantly gives Dog Man the job of going around the castle delivering/picking up stuff, like a mail carrier

He’s given a satchel to hold the stuff (this satchel will NOT come in handy later)

One thing he’s told to get is a can of living spray in the treasury

Said treasury contains many other trinkets, like the queen’s personal ukulele, various other sprays, and the lost prince’s crown (which is so priceless it’s guarded by two royal guards, one of which is named Maude)

Anyway, Dog Man gets the spray, but has to hightail it right out of the room at the mean cops’ insistence

He trips, accidentally spraying the crown to life

The now-living crown gets off its post and climbs into the satchel

Dog Man notices what just happened and runs right out of the treasury

The mean cops follow in hot pursuit, getting other guards (including Chief) to stop the “thief”

So now it’s everyone vs. Dog Man

Cue wild chase

Idea Two

Everyone’s preparing for the lost prince’s 25th birthday Before you ask yeah I decided Petey would be 24/25 here. Also they’re preparing in the first part too

The guards (except an MIA Dog Man) are informed by either the mean cops or the queen that Petey's crown is gone

Of course, they go searching, but the two mean cops look into the treasury. All signs point to Dog Man being the thief, footprints and whatnot

In reality, he had not taken the crown, the real thieves framed him (a la Brawl of the Wild)

Dog Man had been purchasing some bones that were on sale while all this was going on

The thieves somehow get the crown into a bag that he was carrying?

A few minutes later, the mean cops accuse him of stealing the crown

Dog Man’s all “I did not” and empties his bag to prove it, only for the crown to fall out

The two cops call for backup

So now it’s everyone vs. Dog Man

Cue wild chase

And finally, just for fun, how DM got in the tower in the first place:

After finding the tower, he decides to try and find a way in to catch his breath, hide for a little bit, all that jazz

Unfortunately touching the tower itself shocks you (or DM just doesn’t want to climb seventy-some feet)

There’s a nearby tree, so he climbs up to the closest branch to the window

He uses a string to tie a couple bones (either from idea two or somewhere else) together, and another string is tied to the top of one bone, so it looks like his Bark Knight weapon with a knot on top

The top string is then tied to a higher branch; essentially he makes it like a swing

Pls don’t ask about that complicated plan

Using the contraption, Dog Man intends to swing into the open window

Instead, he goes above the window (missing it entirely) and crashes directly into the roof

Don’t worry, he’s okay for the next few minutes

He explores the tower for a bit, going into different rooms, wondering who lives in such a place

Suddenly he gets knocked unconscious with a frying pan, courtesy of a six-foot cat.

Liked a few Frozen posts and now it’s all over my dash. Thanks tumblr really appreciate it/s

Say it louder for the people in the back!

I've been seeing a whole lot of hate for this movie recently, and I'm just sitting there going. Did we even watch the same thing?

People are out there going on and on about how the songs (especially Magnifico's) are written by AI, about how the animation is unfinished and whatever else. This was the 100th anniversary and it's obviously a cash grab. Disney's like that. Yet we've got hordes of people who claim to be "true" fans say that they didn't "care" when they made Wish. Okay, if they didn't care, how on earth did you watch it? Really, if no effort was put in, the whole thing would've been scrapped and you wouldn't have a movie to scream and yell about like you don't have a life or anything better to do. No movie is perfect, and that's a fact.

And at the end of the day, yes, it's perfectly valid to have your opinion. but. please stop forcing it down other people's throats. Show some appreciation. Don't alienate others just for having an opinion. I know I'm beating up a dead horse here but it really needs to stop. So there's my rant, and have a good day.

Unpopular Opinion: Wish shouldn't get as much hate as it's getting

I’m going to get hate but I don’t understand all the hate for Wish? Yeah it’s not the greatest movie they’ve come out with and yes Disney seems to be coming out with some Meh movies recently but I’ve been seeing posts like “don’t go see this movie, don’t support Disney” or “this is an insult to the fans.”

But it’s not terrible? Like yeah it’s not the best, I’d definitely put it as mediocre but people are treating it like Mickey Mouse came on screen and told everyone to go fuck themselves. It’s a perfectly fine generic movie. Everyone harps on about all the latest protagonists of Disney films having the same personality but bitch, I’m sorry but Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White don’t have a personality. All their “personality” entails of are singing and talking to animals while waiting for a prince. I’d take whatever the recent Disney princesses have as a personality over that.

At the end of the day, it’s a movie for little girls to enjoy and to look up to. And is it really that bad? Everyone harps about Disney being out for money. Yes, that is the point. They make movies for MON-EY. There are plenty of early Disney films that are mediocre but are hailed as classics, only because they are old.

That’s my rant over.

Also “This Wish” slaps.  

[weirdthingskid]

Seeing Frozen hate makes me feel super weird for genuinely liking the movie. Like if i’m scrolling through disney content and then i see tumblr users people rate it zero stars or less bc it was overrated or the structure was bad while Let it Go or DYWtBaS is stuck in my head. I get why people don’t like it but it’s just something that bugs me a lot.

[weirdthingskid]

I literally just swapped the colors of the default profile pic

[weirdthingskid]

So I’d been thinking of writing a (platonic!) DM tangled au for awhile. I really want it to be a Dog Man/Petey/Li’l Petey sort of thing.

Okay so here’s my problem. Petey has a closer personality (mannerisms if you will) to Eugene, so I thought at first that he would take his role. Well the issue with that is either DM or LP has to be Rapunzel, and both those options obviously wouldn’t work.

So I thought of making Petey Rapunzel, which would somewhat work, what with the abusive parent. That way LP could be Pascal and DM could be Eugene. But that sounds a little strange when you consider the fact that Petey could’ve been the thief, but is the princess instead.

What do you think?

[weirdthingskid]

Ask and you shall receive :D

I made some when I was younger when I made cringey wattpad fanfics haha The main ones were a partner pair named Orange and Onion, and they basically had the dynamic of Olive and Otto. They had this giant size difference: Onion was about 3 inches shorter than the top of the doorframe while Orange was 4 foot 9, max. She also hates onions, ironically. (It's 'cause she doesn't like crying)

Oh, and the whole precinct had food names. The head scientist was Okra ("I know what I'm doing!" he says as something explodes in background), the anti-Oksana agent was named Oatmeal, you get the idea. I think I stopped when I couldn't come up with any more foods that start with O. Olive would've been SO GREAT if the show hadn't USED IT ALREADY

hey hey hi anyone with Odd Squad ocs come here and tell me about them i want to hear about your silly guys :3

plus as a bonus maybe they can be like. inter-precinct friends with my silly guys perhaps,, that would be fun i think

[weirdthingskid]

Clay and Tsunami also have scars! Tsunami is implied to have a bunch from her fights under the mountain and when she was fireblasted in TLH, while Clay has a large Peril burn on his leg, which can be traced back to trying to protect his friends!

Nobody ever acknowledges either of these though, it's sad :(

I wish we had main characters with scarring :(. Most of the villains appear to have significant scars, but the only two of our heroes to have something even remotely close are Qibli (nose scar, small) and Starflight (blinded, not explored). Not only would adding scarring help with representation and disprove the evil =/= scarred stereotype, it would help make better designs and differentiate the dragons further.

Your designs don't have to be totally canon-accurate. If you think Indigo would look cooler with a jagged gash across her face from getting a boat thrown at her, feel free to do so! Nothing is stopping you.

🎵 Give it to your partner, your partner's older🎵

🎶Give her all the oddities we can't shoulder...🎶

I think surface pressure from Encanto would fit olive very well 🤔

I can see it for her as a Director...but I can also see it for her as a regular Investigation agent too!
