eight episodes is not a full season of television

I wish I was Shego so I didn’t waste my time on the internet ether lol

it's been 19 years

“You, who are without mercy, now plead for it?” is one of those lines that goes so hard that you’d think it’s from The Transformers: The Movie (1986) but it’s actually from the Bible

Just watched the new Futurama ep that came out today, Quids Game and my god it was a lot better than last weeks crypto turd.

The plot was another episode that focused on Fry’s past which is a concept of the show that always intrigues me, it gave me vibes of two episodes I love from the Comedy Central era those being Game Of Tones & Murder On The Planet Express.

It was nice that the episode didn’t have those irritating “Fry is dumb laugh” flanderizion moments from the last few seasons when ever he spoke (which is a problem that happens way too often with HD era Futurama) and it had those sweet and sc-fi moments that made me love the show growing up. Anyways fantastic ep I give it a strong 9/10

So twitter is being really fucking weird about Imane Khelif because they found out that she has elevated levels of testosterone. Anyone do this to Phelps who had the proportions and lung capacity to be a great swimmer? How about strongman Eddie Hall who has a gene that allows him to build muscle a lot more efficiently? She doesn’t even have a perfect record so it’s not like she’s been beating women left and right and setting off world records here. A white woman cried about getting hit too hard in a BOXING match and and all the transphobic racists came out to play. Hell she was born and assigned female at birth in a country that is notoriously anti-trans 😭

I think it's time we blow this joint....

I love that Josh Mankey just fucking dies like he’s not even a background character dude just disappears never to be seen again 

Reblog if it's okay to invade your ask box.

Always

the death of dvds is so fucked. what about bonus features

Why tf does my friend have Vines on VHS lmao

I hate the internet, i hate how nasty and disguising it has become. The oversaturation of hate, of just negativity and anger each other shows is truly unbearable. How community, love and friendship is viewed as expendable has bled into the real world and i have never felt more lonely. You are the salt of the earth, the hatred of it all you pool at the bottom, under my shoe, reminding me that hell is very much real and it closer then i realize.

Maybe it just me, maybe my heart wasnt made for this, my thoughts that i had harden over the years was simply that, whatever disgust this is i now realize i wasnt made for.

I feel like an outsider, like a visitor of hell looking in

I fucking hate the internet, I really do!

God forbid you like a piece of media that was popular and got good ratings and had positive reviews back in the day while annoying pretentious terminology online assholes make you feel bad for liking it, instead of being civil and just saying it’s not for them and leave it at that. Seriously I wish I knew how to touch grass, find caring friends and not let negative shit effect my mental health

Hey, here is some new frustrating discourse.

I'm going to clear this up super duper quick.

And then we can move on and discuss more important things.

Okay?

Here goes...

Nicolas Cage is an incredible actor who is very bad with money so he has to act in terrible movies because otherwise they will repossess his dinosaur skull collection.

But even when he is in terrible movies with terrible writing he refuses to phone in his performances. And sometimes when you are acting your ass off while saying some of the dumbest dialogue ever conceived it can give the appearance the acting is the issue rather than the writing and story.

Hayden Christensen knows that feeling all too well.

So next time you see Nic Cage in a B movie acting a fool, just know he probably bought some new shrunken heads and forgot to pay the mortgage on his volcano island.

Seeing a cyber truck in person is truly a bonding experience. Someone parked one of those monstrosities in a no parking zone at work and me and my coworkers gathered like this

How i know lily molested/raped me in my sleep

She coerced me into sexual games when we’re were 7-10, I stopped cooperating at 10

She used to talk me into sleeping over in her room and I’d wake up to her masterbating over top of me, she came on me more than once.

At 10 she started talking to me about incest, what I thought of it, and how she thought it was the purest form of love between siblings. She would get visibly upset when I didn’t agree with her.

I started waking up in the mornings with the underwear I had been wearing to sleep off my body and gone from my room, this lasted years.

My underwear would be found in Lily’s room

I’ve woken up to her sneaking into my room, she leaves when she notices I’m awake with a “oh, you’re awake….”

She told my best friend while I was in the room that the kind of girl she’d want to date is “kind of like Courtney” body type, hair eyes voice. All was asked and all was answered “kinda like Courtney”

She used to compare to meg Griffin to my face while writing a self ship fic where she has a child with meg Griffin.

A psychologist was given this list of worrying behaviours and was told not to leave me alone with her as I wasn’t safe, (this is the early 2000’s nobody gave a shit about kids back then thus we were still somehow allowed to live under the same roof) this caution was ignored

None of these things ever stopped happening untill I got a lock and started locking my door while I slept.

My underwear stopped disappearing, it stayed on my body all night

I stopped wetting the bed only when I got my door lock.

I got UTIs and yeast infections a few times a year from the time I was a baby until i was 14

I used to wake up to bruises on my thighs that I did not go to bed with, again stopped when I got my door lock.

futurama season 4 operated on such a cosmic galaxy brain level that it low-key puts any other season of television to shame and the writers kinda fucked up putting their whole pussy into it bc they have yet to produce anything that is even half as solid and consistent. you want heart wrenching emotion that makes you cry but also makes you smile so big because you just love these characters so much? put on "leela's home world." you want heart breaking emotion that makes you cry and have to shut down from the world for a bit because you don't feel anyone loves you as much as seymour did fry but also that's the whole point of the episode so it makes you have an existential crisis? put on "jurassic park." you want Actually Good social commentary? pop in "crimes of the hot" or "a taste of freedom." you want to celebrate your fav found family? put on the comedic bangers that are "teenage mutant leela's hurdles" or "the farnsworth parabox." you want the best romantic payoff of any television series ever? watch "the why of fry." you want an episode that is utter cinematic perfection? "the sting" is right there. and the ultimate cosmic galaxy brain move of making the intended series finale a fucking musical? just absolute genius work. season 4 will never be topped and sometimes I wonder, why bother trying?

I still foolishly dabble in Twitter to see what some of my fellow animation enthusiasts are saying, and one particular SpongeBob tweet annoyed me so much that I’m not even gonna talk about it on that app. It was quoting a segment of the Season 12 episode Shell Games, a fairly standard and innocuous episode, and saying that the plot is an insult to Stephen Hillenburg’s legacy. That was the final straw for me. I can no longer trust the people who aren’t diehard SpongeBob geniuses with Stephen Hillenburg’s name. Especially when they’re blue checkmarks who can benefit from the clout SpongeBob fans will give them.

What was so insulting about Shell Games? Them revealing Patrick’s rock was actually a turtle shell, for one episode, out of nearly 600. I swear, you have less of a reason to be upset over The Principal and the Pauper, and even that’s been an overreaction. I’m not gonna say Shell Games is one of my all time favourites, but I think it’s got enough character with the turtles to make it memorable.

But the gall of that user to transparently have no idea what the show is like now, and still feel the need to stuff the late creator’s name into their opinion to feel better about it. It isn’t 2019 anymore, when Kamp Koral had just been announced and no one had the concrete information on Stephen’s awareness of it. Even back then, my stance on post-Hillenburg SpongeBob stuff has always been “I may not like a lot of it, but I salute the people who he knew continuing to work on it.” How is that such a hard stance to take? Can’t these blue checkmark people have empathy for working class animation teams?

I miss 2015-2018 when the SpongeBob community was more stable. When a Post-Sequel episode aired that the fandom didn’t like, we didn’t jump to “Stephen didn’t want this! Legacy tarnished!”, we discussed what we didn’t like about it and hoped the next episode would be better. A lot of fans still do that, but certainly not the normal people who haven’t even watched the show since they were kids. Fair enough, but if that’s the case, don’t act like an expert out of nowhere. If you were a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, and every single thing made for the past 94 years has had people going “Arthur Conan Doyle didn’t want this! Legacy tarnished!”, you’d understand my antipathy.

Never mind the irony of all this - Stephen Hillenburg was alive when Shell Games was produced. It was the 4th-to-last episode to enter production before he stopped coming in to the studio. Community notes sorted that out quickly. And let me say, you don’t have to like every episode he personally contributed to or oversaw. But come on, why am I expecting nuanced thinking from someone giving Elon Musk their money?

Twitter’s never been a great website, but now, it feels like all the worst people have cracked the code. Only the loudest and angriest voices get the attention, which gets more dangerous the more sensitive the topic is. And then, even if you agree with the sentiment, you will despise the personalities of the very people you’re agreeing with. It’s a platform that encourages all the worst human behaviours. Whenever I so much as make a joke on there, I feel like I’m walking on eggshells. It’ll hurt to see less from accounts I really respect, but I’ll offload it for a little while, because it’s not been good for my mood.

And I’m really sorry that this is yet another long angsty blogpost so soon. It’s been those times for me, and I hope you got some sort of useful lesson from what I’ve typed out.

I will forever hate Lily Orchard for ruining an entire generation's media literacy and ability to criticize a piece of media without going "the villain did a bad and therefore the media is evil!"

And that's not even mentioning the fact that Lily is a pedophile and just a weirdo in general.

Remember when she called Rebecca Sugar, a queer jewish person, a nazi and she somehow didn't get cancelled?

I remember and I refuse to forgive that shit among the other gross crap she did.

TW: Child predation

It’s recently been revealed that Kyle A. Carrozza, creator of Mighty Magiswords, has been arrested for possession of CP. After resisting the urge to throw up, I wrote a new comment under my Magiswords review and pinned it, just to recontextualise the review in case anyone sees it as glorifying the show’s horrid creator. With how long the animation industry’s been like this, I’m anxious that this isn’t the last time I might have to do this.

Please read, learn and keep yourself safe.

Reblog this if it’s okay to DM you and shoot the friendship shot.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

I some ways I feel bad for Lily..

Imagine having to lie and gaslight everyone in your life so they won’t leave you and realize what a monster you are.

Imagine having this fucked up relationship with your sister that you had to constantly be superior with because you are secretly in love with her and trying to normalize that..it will never be normal.

Imagine having to hint to everyone in your social circle that you’re attracted to them, and constantly pressuring people, including children, in order to get what you want out of them.

It’s all just gross.
