Little Retrospective of Horrors: Little Shop: Bad Seed: That's Not a Joke that's the actual episode title (Comission by WeirdKev27)

Well here we are friends, at the end of my look of little shop of horrors. I may return for the comic adaptations of the films one day, but for now.. there's one last strange and intresting plant to cover before we close shop and count the bodies. Intresting may be pushing it i'll admit but it IS strange, so at least it has that.

Little Shop is a 1991 cartoon based on the musical and film, which mashes together the 60's do-wop themes of the musical, peanuts and Rap into one series.

Yeah THIS happened. I knew about it for a long time but hadn't seen hide nor hair of it till a reviewer I used to watch covered it. What clips I saw really didn't inspire confidence. However Kev loves to watch me suffer and coudln't wait for me to cover this whenever I could, so he paid me money to watch this thing.

So I decided to give the series a fair shake, look at the first episode. And i'm glad he did in the long run as it DOES feel more complete having this series in the retrospective. My soul will never entirely heal but hey, that's the price you pay sometime in this line of work. So join me under the cut as I talk about an Audrey Junior that raps. If that didn't scare you off, join me won't you?

We begin little shop with the theme song. And credit where it's due.. the hook for it is fire.

youtube

It's a weird sandwitch of a song where the begining and end are great, a nice 90's style rnb hit. Problem is like many a 90's work they drop a piss take rap in the middle with lines like "get ready for a funny bone overload" "I'm comin atcha like toon style" "In full effect" and "the little shop posse's gaining respect"

Look if you don't know how something works don't do it. It's why i stay far away from tik tok and why Little Shop shouldn't of tried to enter the rap game.

This decision.. will never not be hilarious. Eldrictch God Levels of maddening too, of course, but hilarious. See... you'd THINk from this decision Little Shop abandons the Do-Wop, 60's pop sound of the musical entirely. You'd THINK. Instead they have numbers in that style AND rap numbers with Junior that make Poochie look dignified. So the writers clearly GOT that the music was one of the most valuable, iconic and awesome parts of the movie and stage play.. but also failed to grasp that it clashed horribly with rap. Or execs did. Or roger Corman

And the 60's style is still present for the most part as in their next baffling decision, they decided the best thing to possibly pair with little shop of horrors.. was peanuts

Now this isn't something I've really had a chance to dig into on this blog.. but I absolutely LOVE peanuts. The specials, the films, and of course the comic that started it all. As my frequent use of Breaking Cat News and Bloom County panels shows I love me a good comic strip and I love the godfather of most modern comic strips. If it didn't come from peanuts it came from Bloom County or Calvin and Hobbes, which came from peanuts.

So I actually do understand the impulse to model little shop's style after peanuts: it's a classic style, it has roots in the 60's as the specials started there and A Charlie Brown Christmas is still played every christmas as gods intended, and it works well. And they do a good job styliistically: it's peanuts esque but has it's own unique style and I like the minmalist yet colorful backgrounds. it really pops and the show LOOKS good, even through the vhs rip I watched.

The big issue is that they go for the peanuts style.. but often don't actually match that tone. The start of the episode kind of does, Seymour is charlie brown now, talks about his bad luck, not being "smart" enough to be a nerd, and his constant bullying by Pain Driller

Our DENNNTTIIIIST. The problem is LIttle Shop goes for a zanier universe. And it's not that Peanut's universe couldn't be rediculous. We've had things like Peppermint Patty being out of school for several weeks going to a dog obdience school thinking it was private school, Snoopy walking all the way to Kansas City when trying to get to Wimbledon and reuniting with his sister, Snoopy's awkward teenage nephew

The Kite Eating Tree which is not Charlie Brown's imagination, the EPA trying to arrest charlie brown for biting the bastard tree, Charlie Brown having to wear a sack over his head due to a baseball shaped rash... Charles Schultz wasn't above getting weird with it, and I'm here for it. Weird peanuts is some of the best peanuts.

The diffrence is peanuts is more.. chill. There will be big events and weird shit but it has a relaxed tone. Even something as awful as Lucy throwing Linus out of the house... was mostly just Linus chilling with Joe cool at his dorm and their parents having not intervened because they were missing... and the reveal of WHY gives Lucy her commpuance in the best way possible.

It's a fairly relaxed strip. There can be tense arcs and weird shit, but generally the stakes are just a setup for jokes or character work. So throwing a magical talking rappin plant into that kind of tone dosen't work. I get the impulse as the originla flim was also kinda relaxed.. at first. But it's hard to make "Carnvrious talking plant" work with "chill and relaxed"... so why do it? Why not just have them as teens at least? why? why/ Why?

So we find out Seymour has a job at Mushnik's still because Child Labor dosen't exist in this universe and is still yelled at by him because Mushnik uses child labor you think he's above YELLING at his free child labor? Seymour, as you'd expect, has a crush on Audrey whose mushnik's daughter in this one so she has a reason to be around. In a series where almost none of the changes make sense, why is THIS the one that does?

She ignores seymour because she wants to be a fire fighter

She apparently has a diffrent new passion every episode, like Daphne from Be Cool Scooby Doo but not as endearing. Seymour can't get her to notice him, and unlike the previous two versions she dosen't SEEM to have a thing for him back.

So Seymour needs to turn his life around and as usual finds a strange and intresting plant.. or rather it's seed as that's how Little Shop thinks plant dormancy works. Granted i'm not a botanist, but one google tells me that's not how it works. A plant simply stops growing and strengthens it's roots and what not to survive. So the IDEA of how Twoey isn't fozilied depsite, as we'll find out, being from caveman times, isn't bad.

This leads to our first musical number as Seymour tries to raise Audrey Junior to impress Audrey who in this version is a jerk about it while Mr Mushnik talks about his bad luck as does Seymour and no one cares because Seymour is a blatant copy of a way more popular characte rinstead of a kidified version of rick moranis and Mushnik reguarlly bullys a child.

So while we saw Seymour's mom earlier, he's sleeping at the shop. Apparently Mushnik bought him for a wadded up five and a slim fit condom. He dreams of caveman times, and Audrey Junior, who orders himself a pizza. Because apparently having a childrens show about Rambo, Warrior for Piece is okay but you can't sell one about a plant murdering a child's enemies.

So instead Junior just eats a lot. Anyways Pain is the delivery boy because child labor laws can go fuck themselves in this universe, and plans to rob seymour. So instead of being a murderous manipulative monster Twoey.. is just an asshole. Or dosen't know how money works.

Twoey does as usual offer some quid pro quo: Seymour tkaes him home later,a nd Twoey gets Audrey to notice he's alive. He agrees. Mushnik plans to fire the child he shoudln't of hired, while Twoey needs to hold up his end. So he decides to plant the idea in Audrey's head that seymour's cool, by literally pulling a seed out of the plant equilvent for a butt. His aim is lousy though so he hits pain instead.

This works to their advantage though as it allows them to steal his dope ass moped. Unfortunatley Junior finds that his home.. is now a petrified forest. And we get the one joke that actually made me laugh "Petrified Forest, please stay off the petrified grass". And I'll give them credit, Juniors sadness over his family being gone and being stuck in an urban hellscape is great.

The problem is that Junior.. lacks anything that made his predecessor Twoey or his grandpa also junor work. The original junior was just a mindless plant that Seymour was stupid enough to get hooked on corpses. The film version was a creepy trickster who manipulated Seymour ot his ends. A comedic twoey COULD actually work: keep the big eater thing and simply have him manpiulate seymour to his own ends. IT's not as good, but it'd work for what hteir goin for here. Instead while they try that, what we've got is a character whose just a selfish asshole with no trickstery charm and whose also a walking fossil of the 90's instead of the jurassic.

Still as is law Junior DOES help. In trying to lead a plant rebellion against humanity, he instead just makes all the flowers grow. Seymour accidently floods the place trying to stop him, which gets Audrey's intrest thinking he was fire fighting. I'm too tired to think of the logic here. Mushnik is happy to not fire him as long as their's buisness so we have our setup: Junior decides to adjust to modern day, Seymour keeps him because it benefits him, Audrey actuallyt alks to seymour now and Mushnik is taking advantage of a small child

Little Shop.. isn't very good. You'd THINK tha't dbe inherent in "Little Shop of Horrors Cartoon for Children'.. but the idea of one ISN'T as bonkers as it sounds. Little Shop of Horrors.. works for kids as while there's defintely a lot of muder and violence, most of it is pretty subdued. Only the feeding scene from the film really has a lot of gore to it. So as "selling this to children" properties goes, the film with a big awesome puppet, catchy songs, and a happy ending that also has mutilations and spousal abuse.. isn't the wildest swing you could take.

And adapting it for kids.. is really easy. As I said, just have Audrey II be a selfish trickster ala zack morris, doing things for his own benefit. Which they have here, just with an annoying rap gimmick. You age up the characters to high school, take away the unecessary attempts to copy peanuts, and it works. The franchise is already goofy, and while done well serious enoguh, even th efilm and musical still have wacky shit like Orin's entire musical number. The premise is goofy enough to work as a goofy over the top comedy, you just gotta let it. Little Shop ultimately dosen't work because it dose'nt know what it wants to be, mixing peanuts with a magical sidekick, rap and musical numbers more along the line of the original. It dosen't know what it is and that's why it only lasted 13 episodes.

Will I revisit this series? probably. It's pretty nuts and while I don't LIKE it, it was riffable as all hell. And it does sound like it gets more and more bonkers as it goes. For now though the shop is closed, but i was happy to finally give the full breadth of the franchise a looksee. It was certainly strange and intresting.

So I don't have a blog so I have no reason to change the title, nor do I want to change my icon... so I guess I'll just say, I'm not a bot?

This has sat in my inbox for so long because it genuinely baffled me.

Unless I am mistaken and have missed some part of Tumblr's workings, you do have a blog. Having nothing on the blog just means that you're not interacting with anyone/thing else on the site. I'm so confused, what do you even do here if you don't reblog things?

Please, if you've just been liking posts and going on your merry way, stop. Reblog stuff as well!! It's not that much more work and actually helps support other people on the site, not because it's good for an algorithm or anything but because seeing someone reblog your post feels good! You could make someone, an actual human being, happy!!

This is not specifically directed at you, person who sent this ask, by the way. It just so happens to be what started me thinking about this.

That all being said: Dear person who asked, I don't want to be rude, but I must implore you to please change your name and icon to something recognisably not-a-robot, even though you don't have any reason to. You can even just edit the icon a little if you like how it looks. It will help other people on the site, and it's worth the tiny amount of effort. This place runs on people making a little effort!! It's not like Twitter or TikTok where you can mostly exist passively and get spoonfed content.

Thanks. I hope my response is not taken badly, it is not intended to be, I just want this place to keep working as it should and honestly we all need to do our little bit for it.

#ask #not a prompt #its so hard to tell that people aren't bots #i hope this makes sense and doesn't come across badly!!#sorry if it does

Hello I certainly am someone who has not asked you about your other fics prior and if you think you recognize my url or icon I'm sure you're mistaken *gestures to what is clearly a poorly drawn on fake mustache* might I ask about a few more fics? Dream sharing, Trapped in a small space, God I have no idea, and Fobbed!Eleven teaching primary school (I have a Fobbed!Thirteen teaching preschool AU! Similar hat!) all sound really interesting!!!

Why yes of course completely new blog that I've never seen before in my life! What a wonderful moustache you have!

So I actually have two docs titled Dream sharing. Both were for a soulmate prompt event a few years ago that got cancelled and they've been wasting away ever since.

The older of the two was supposed to be about Rose and the first Doctor sharing dreams while he was still in school

He was delighted she’d let him tpuch her hair, but Rose seemed an exceedling physical creature, at least compared to his own people and seemed to find this level of physical contact typical. Theta finds it charming. He wished he had some flowers to weave into the braids, a mix of flowers from his own planet and hers to symbolize how much her friendship meant to him. Or something like that. She always made him feel vaguely poetic.

He fixed the braid in place and started a new one, baffled by how the texture had changed since she’d lightened it. The strands were slightly coarse against his fingers now, probably in ways her human hands could hardly feel. He still couldn't understand why she'd done it, but he couldn't deny that the pale blonde shade suited her.

And the other is Eight and Rose

“I didn’t realize I was so amusing.” He remarked dryly, and her laughter cut off to look at him.

“We’re standing in the middle of a ballroom, I’m in this ridiculous dress, and you just offered me a jelly baby.” She recounted, as if the point behind her mirth was obvious.

“Is there something wrong with jelly babies?”

Rose laughed again, more subdued this time. “No.” She assured him, “Might be something wrong with mad aliens pulling me out of my own dreams to have them though.”

Trapped in a small space is actually a fic I'm working on for the bingo even that's been going on this month. Essentially, Rose and ten get trapped in a crate. And probably end up kissing but I haven't gotten there yet.

The Doctor rushed into the storage room, pushing Rose deeper in, and hissing out a quick, "Hide!" As he tried to shut the door as quietly as possible.

Rose looked around the room. It was stuffed with crates of various sizes, but there was one that was just big enough…

They didn't have another option, Rose grabbed the Doctor's hand and pushed him into the crate. She quickly climbed in after him, sliding the lid closed over their head and encasing them in near darkness.

The crates were made of wood slats, so she could just barely make out his features from what little light was being let in. He looked startled and a bit terrified. She opened her mouth to apologize but he quickly clapped a hand over her mouth and pulled her closer to his chest.

God I have no idea is a fic where after Eleven flies the Pandorica up into the tardis to reboot the universe, it spits him out in Pete's world before Journey's end has happened for Rose. She hasn't even figured out that the stars were going our yet.

"I think I'll skip the rest." The Doctor said mostly to himself, rising from Amelia's beside and moving closer to the bright glow of his unraveling timeline. There were things that came before this that he would rather not repeat.

Well, that wasn't entirely true. Every cell in his body was desperate to see Rose again. But to see her and not be able to talk to her? To only look on as all those torturous memories were unwritten? That would be worse than dying.

He stepped into the glow, not knowing what to expect.

The sensation of falling jerked at his navel and the light around him slowly faded to black. He fell face first into the dark, letting his eyes slip closed. It made no difference.

Everything was dark and silent, aside from the air passing around his body and whipping past his ears.

The feeling changed and suddenly, he felt weightless, hovering in place as everything stilled around him.

Then his body jerked and he hit something solid, pushing the air from his lungs with a wheeze.

Wait a minute.

He was supposed to be dead. Well, not dead so much as non-existent. He was supposed to not be.

This is the opening pre-credits bit of Fobbed!11

The Doctor cursed and tugged his bowtie off.

He really had no other choice.

What were the odds? He gazed up at the ceiling, watching the Chameleon Arch descend. Right then. He needed a plan.

Amy answered the phone on the first ring, "Hello?"

The Doctor flinched as the console sparked, "Amy!" He cried joyfully, swinging one of the monitors 'round to track the progress of his pursuers. "In a bit of a tight spot. I'm going to park the TARDIS in that patch of woods behind your house, that alright?"

Amy felt a thrill run through her at the prospect of a new adventure, "What kind of a tight spot?"

"I'm going to become human." He cried out as the TARDIS pitched sharply to the right. "Instructions on the console, Melody will be able to figure it out, you know how much the TARDIS adores her."

"Doctor?" Amy called as the line started to crackle.

"Be there soon!" He called before the line was cut off.

Amy poked her head out to the garden, "Oi, you two!" She called, getting Rory and Melody's attention. "Doctor is coming for a visit."

*cue Doctor who theme*

Basically 11 gets fobwatched into thinking he's Amy's cousin who's been living with them and teaching at Melody's primary school (they actually saved baby Melody and she's been living her best life with her parents.)

And then Rose shows up as the substitute art teacher. Love at fist sight

#doctor who #my fic #i got an ask!

About the Blog

I was tagged by sweet @lethendralis-paints

1. Icon - I just changed mine like... two days ago? It’s my Hawke, done by the amazing @saraheliza95. I’m going to put the gif version here because I’m so in love (also her commissions are open if you want your own sweet gif).

2. Content - In addition to reblogging whatever DA stuff catches my eye, I write a bit of fanfic (FenHawke, Solavellan, and Bethistair these days). I’ve also been taking screenshots recently, mostly of Bethistair. I started drawing two weeks ago, so sometimes I post my progress.

3. Letter colours - I have no idea what this part refers to. But if it has to do with customizing my blog, other than header and icon, I have not. Tumblr’s interface can be baffling at times, and I just haven’t bothered much. For one thing, I almost never look at the actual blog page-- just the dash. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4. URL - Nug-juggler. I use onionjuggler as a handle a lot (and it’s my non-DA blog on here), and wanted something related for DA.

5. Header - One of my favorite pictures I took in one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited. Lake Lugu, in southern China. I had a perfect day there.

6. Blog title - Nugs in the Air. Because... I’m juggling them.

Tagging @rhunae, @saraheliza95, @drownedstarlight @ginnyq @tortuosity-writes @fibrochemist @aban-asaara

Professional women today are as unhappy as their suburban housewife grandmothers. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

“The Ambition Collision,” by Lisa Miller is one of the more read articles on the New York Magazine website. It compares the malaise that professional women feel today with the malaise of the suburban housewife Betty Freidan characterizes in The Feminine Mystique.

What is this midlife crisis among the 30-year-olds I know? Millennial women — at least those who reside in professional bubbles — seem to have it all. They are better educated, more prosperous, less encumbered by cultural expectations than any previous generation of women. They delay marriage (if they marry at all) and children (if they choose to conceive). They can own or rent. They can save or spend. These women have been on familiar terms with their ambitions all their lives — raised by careful parents to aim high (millennial women are likelier than their male peers to have professional jobs, to be managers, and to work in finance), and tutored by their cultural icons to perform their empowerment, and never submit. You know, “Bow down, bitches,” as they say.

So why are the well-employed, ambitious 30-year-olds of my acquaintance feeling so adrift, as discontented as the balding midlife sad sacks whose cliché dissatisfactions made Updike rich? The women complain of the enervating psychic effects of the professional treadmill as white-collar piecework and describe their dread as they contemplate bleak futures — decade after decade, they imagine, unfulfilled. After a lifetime of saying ‘yes’ to their professional hunger — these are the opportunity-seizers, the list-makers, the ascendant females, weaned on Lean In — they’ve lost it, like a child losing grasp of a helium balloon. Grief-stricken, they are baffled too, for they have always been propelled by their drive. They were the ones who were supposed to run stuff — who as girls imagined themselves leaving the airport in stylish trench coats, hailing a taxi with one hand while holding their cell in the other.

Who ever said that work should be the be-all?

Now, “there’s no vision,” one woman said to me. “Nothing solid,” said another. Limp, desperate, they fantasize about quitting their good jobs and moving home to Michigan. They murmur about purpose, about the concrete satisfactions of baking a loaf of bread or watching a garden grow. One young woman I know dreams about leaving her consulting job, which takes her to Dubai and Prague, to move back home and raise a bunch of kids. Another, an accountant with corner-office aspirations, has decided to “phone it in” for a few years while she figures out what she wants to do. Mostly, though, these women don’t bail out. They are too responsible, and too devoted to their wavering dreams. They stay put, diligently working, ordering Seamless and waiting for something — anything — to reignite them, to convince them that their wanting hasn’t abandoned them for good. Any goal would do, one woman told me: a child, a dog — “even a refrigerator.” People have been motivated by less.

Get a grip, I want to tell them, for I am old enough to be, if not their mother then their world-weary aunt. Who ever said that work should be the be-all? You work for money. The money you earn pays the rent. You are the very, very lucky few, in possession of the jobs and apartments that every tier-one college student wants. But the more I listen, the more I think I hear in these young women’s voices the echo of something familiar — the complaints of a long-ago generation but in reverse. The female dissatisfaction chronicled by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique was prompted by a widespread awakening to the bullshit promises of domestic happiness, manufactured by culture to make female containment look good. Now another bullshit promise has taken its place, and another generation is waking up.

Here’s some thoughtful commentary from an MIT student:

Last night, I was reading some articles from “The Cut”, a section of New York Magazine. I came across this one, titled “The Ambition Collision” by Lisa Miller. It's one of The Cut's most read articles, and describes how a generation of professional millennial women face a strange, unexplainable burnout. They seem to lose their motivation and desire after a few years in the workforce, or at once on entering it. ...What intrigued me about the article is what the author said after describing this problem, which is that, while those external struggles exist, there’s still a deeply personal perspective problem that everyone has. I’ll let the article explain itself here:

“The lesson of The Feminine Mystique was not that every woman should quit the ‘burbs and go to work, but that no woman should be expected to find all her happiness in one place — in kitchen appliances, for example. And the lesson for my discontented friends is not that they should ditch their professional responsibilities but that they should stop looking to work, as their mothers looked to husbands, as the answer to the big questions they have about their lives. “I think possibly work has replaced ��and they got married and lived happily ever after,’ and that is a false promise,” says Ellen Galinsky, co-founder of the Families and Work Institute. “Everyone needs to have more than one thing in their life. We find people who are dual-centric to be most satisfied. If people put an equivalent stress on their life outside of their job they get further ahead and are more satisfied at their job.””

Though this insight was shared through the lens of writing about women’s issues, I think it’s a useful thing to think about for everyone. After graduating high school and moving into college, I graduated in a lot of other ways too. Some were expected--I reached new levels of independence and capability. Some were unexpected, like new reaching new levels of confidence, or weird, like a new level of defining myself and understanding the depth of my identity. And somehow, I seemed to reach a new level of sadness or discomfort too. Adult feelings somehow are more complicated than kid feelings, and I still haven’t figured out why. It’s not that I feel more or less happy than when I was child (although probably it’s a little bit less, lol) but it’s that, as a child you at least always know why you’re unhappy--denial of ice cream, the onset of sleepiness, a little brother that destroys your things. Unhappiness is for the most part temporary and usually defined by a single moment.

Adult unhappiness has seemed to involve many more themes, where the same feelings always worm their way into whatever sadness I’m feeling that day, even if they have nothing to do with why I’m sad in that moment. It feels a little more chronic. Maybe it’s because of passage of time, and accumulating many more things to be unhappy about over the years. Sometimes sadness is unexplainable, like those women in The Cut article, just a strange listlessness that I can never articulate very well.

Sometimes coming to MIT feels a little bit like hitting a ceiling too. At least in my case, MIT was a goal I worked on for a full 7 years (I first started reading the blogs in middle school, lol). A sentence from this article stands out to me: “It’s as if the women have cleared spaces in their lives for meteoric careers, and then those careers have been less gratifying, or harder won, or more shrunken than they’d imagined.”

MIT was certainly hard won. And I had known, at least superficially, that what I was doing was kind of insane--I worked really hard to get into a place where I would have to work even harder. I think what I hadn’t prepared for was just how dissatisfying it can be to have hard work feel fully wasted. Freshmen year there was a lot of studying for days to barely pass, rather than studying for days to at least get a decent grade. But now that’s mostly over--my classes are in the field I most enjoy, they’re interesting, and though they’ve certainly required hard work, my academic life is a little more balanced. So why does that feeling of burnout, dissatisfaction, listlessness still hit? (it’s always in November or February....)

Maybe it's because as a student, life is still pretty centered around work. But things outside of work aren't always great either...

As Pascal said, all people complain, even those at the top of society. The world is fallen, and so it doesn’t live up to our desires that it not be fallen. And nothing in the world can make that fallenness go away. We’ll eventually all feel this if we are sensitive and thoughtful and realistic, if we don’t just distract ourselves from it. Not even a great university or great career or great apartment can make us deeply happy.

#feminism isn't radical enough #the world is fallen #existential crisis

i think in order to understand the iconic weirdness of the onceler you have to understand the greater context of where he came from; specifically the movie The Lorax.

Firstly, The Lorax is a terrible movie on a whole bunch of levels. It’s an overproduced soulless mess and you can just feel the board meetings behind every decision to maximize marketability. Despite the plot supposedly being anti-corporation the movie had an absurd amount of corporate tie-ins (including a car!!! for an environmentalist movie for children!!) so the criticism of capitalist greed had to be watered down to nothing. The plot is boring, there are no stakes, and it feels like a paint-by-numbers of “things little kids like in animated movies.” I have not encountered a single person who liked the movie other than the bits with the onceler. So it was super weird when this terrible kids movie that should have been instantly forgotten instead attracted a large fanbase of people who were absolutely not the target demographic.

Which leads me to my next point: the Onceler is the only character in the movie that is at all interesting. He isn’t the main character, the actual protagonist is a little boy who has no personality and only a vague motivation (he wants to get a tree to show his girlfriend who likes trees, thats literally it). The only character besides the Onceler whose name I remember is the Lorax and thats because his name is the title. The Lorax is annoying, unlikeable, and also barely in it. The Onceler is the only one who gets a personality or flaws. Don’t get me wrong, hes still pretty boring, but he’s miles above the rest of the cast in both story and appearance, which is why....

The fandom only had one character to lust over. It was a weird situation because the fans of the Onceler were all the type of people who like shipping and porn, but there was nobody to ship him with. Based purely on the plot, the Lorax would be the only one who would make sense as a romantic interest, but given that he is a literal orange lump of fur with a giant mustache, he did not really appeal to prettyboy aesthetic sensibilities. The actual main character was like, eight years old, and looked too much like a little kid for even the grossest shippers to consider.

So instead everyone shipped the Onceler with... the Onceler. Now, obviously selfcest has been a staple of various fandoms for years, but it’s typically only found in media which includes time travel or cloning or aus or some other justification for there being multiple versions of a character. The Onceler had... an outfit change. All the shipping was Onceler in a vest x Onceler in a green suit (named Greedler because he sang a song about money in that outfit). There was only about 40 minutes total of “canon” so it descended into AUs of AUs pretty quick (for a modern example of this, look at Undertale fandom). But despite this none of the AUs were particularly memorable or different and almost all of it was just an excuse for porn. It was just the same thing over and over again. There were thousands of completely interchangeable ask blogs roleplaying the Onceler having cybersex with each other. (heres an incomplete list of them if you don’t believe me)

And it was just baffling to behold. I mean, the guy is a bastadrization of a Dr Suess character, made to appeal to small children, trying to teach a lesson about the environment, in a movie hardly anyone saw and nobody liked, voiced by Ed Helms, and his name is “The Once-ler” (though everyone dropped the hyphen almost immediately). This is not exactly a prime candidate for pornography.

Also, the hornier fans referred to themselves as “once-luts” and i will probably go to my grave with that knowledge seared into my memory.

“snufkin is the new onceler” literally nothing will be the new onceler. onceler fandom was on a level no one today can comprehend. “ohhh [new thing] is onceler all over again” shut up and learn the ancient history before spouting these foolish words

Five Clarifications On Garden Of Eden In Iran | garden of eden in iran

HOR AL-HAMMAR, Iraq — A astringent aridity is aggressive Iraq’s southern marshes — the acceptable armpit of the biblical Garden of Eden — aloof as the arena was convalescent from Saddam Hussein’s clarification of its lakes and swamps to abuse a political rebellion.

maps | Untangling Scripture – garden of eden in iran | garden of eden in iran

Marshes that were advancing aback to activity a few years ago with U.N. advice are afresh little added than all-inclusive expanses of absurd earth. The area’s bags of inhabitants, accepted as Marsh Arabs, are victims of the debilitating aridity that has ravaged abundant of Iraq and adjoining countries the aftermost two years.

“I accept no work. Our livestock accept died, our accouchement accept larboard academy because we don’t accept money to buy them clothes,” said fisherman Yasir Razaq. He batten in advanced of his board boat, which sat on a dried-up basin bed in the Hor al-Hammar marsh abreast Nasiriyah, 200 afar south of Baghdad.

“Before back there was fishing, we could get money for children’s clothes,” he said. “Now we accept absent aggregate and our bearings is miserable.”

Fertile acreage lands The Marsh Arab ability existed for added than 5,000 years in the 8,000 aboveboard afar of wetlands fed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The marshes boasted hundreds of breed of birds and fish, and alternate calamity created abundant acreage lands.

The flooded, collapsed apparent is said to accept played an important role in the development of an agriculture-based ability that helped accession acculturation to new heights. Some biblical advisers articular the all-inclusive marshes — the best all-encompassing wetlands in the Middle East — as the armpit of the fabulous Garden of Eden.

But afterwards the 1991 Gulf War, the marshes became a blow of Iraq’s religiously based politics.

Saddam, a Sunni Muslim, advised the bags of mostly Shiite Marsh Arabs to be alienated — aboriginal in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s and added actively back Shiites in southern Iraq rose up adjoin his administration afterwards a U.S.-led affiliation affected the Iraqi army out of Kuwait.

Paradise Found – garden of eden in iran | garden of eden in iran

Many Shiite rebels hid amid the Marsh Arabs in the forests of reeds and countless of lakes. To abuse them, Saddam congenital a massive arrangement of dams and earthen walls to alter baptize and dry the marshes.

The aftereffect was devastating.

By the time Saddam was baffled in 2003, the marshes had diminished by 90 percent from their admeasurement in the 1970s, back they had covered about 3,500 aboveboard afar — beyond than Delaware.

Many experts direly predicted that the marshes ability abandon absolutely by 2008.

‘Priority’ restoration The United Nations launched an $11 actor activity to restore the marshes, including removing some of the barriers that were befitting baptize from abounding into the area.

And by 2006, added than bisected the aboriginal marshlands had auspiciously flooded.

“Our admiral appropriate from alpha … started because the apology of the marshes breadth to be our priority,” said Iraqi Baptize Resources Minister Abdul-Latif Jamal Rasheed, abacus that the accomplishment had accomplished some success.

But the contempo aridity has acquired the levels of those two rivers to fall.

Iraq’s winter concluded after able rain for a additional year in a row. Overall, the condensate for the aftermost two years has been alone about 30 to 40 percent of accustomed levels — not alone in Iraq but in Syria and southeastern Turkey to the north, area the abundant rivers begin.

By the time the rivers change through Iraq bottomward to its southern marshes, abundant of the baptize has already been absent into canals to adulterate arid acreage fields.

Last month, the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization and the Iraqi government appear a new $47 actor affairs aftermost ages to restore the marshes, absorption on the southern ambit of Maysan, Dhi Qar and Basra.

But the program’s Iraq director, Dr. Fadel el-Zubi, bidding agnosticism that the marshes can be absolutely adequate after a breach in the drought. Additionally bare are new water-sharing agreements amid countries in the arena including Syria and Iran to accord Iraq added admission to water, he said.

“There is abundant beneath baptize advancing from adjoining countries,” he said. “So the bulk of baptize activity to the marshlands will be less.”

Much of the affairs is aimed at convalescent the lives of Marsh Arabs, who accompany a activity of fishing and foraging that has not afflicted essentially for bags of years.

Among added things, the affairs will accommodate restocking the marshes with angle able of actual in areas area low baptize levels accept aloft the alkali content, el-Zubi said.

He said the affairs would additionally advice bodies in the arena furnish their livestock, mostly sheep and baptize buffalo.

“The capital ambition is to restore the best that you can aural the advancing bristles years and to accredit the marshland bodies to resume farming, livestock assembly and so on,” he said.

Even with the drought, the angle for the marshes is bigger than a decade ago.

But that agency little to abounding of the Marsh Arabs.

“We hoped the new government ability do something,” said a fisherman who gave his name alone as Mohammed because he feared criticizing the government publicly. “But it’s still the same. This is the additional time that the baptize has been drained away.”

Goof Week: Sports Goofy in SoccerMania: GoofTales Woo-oo! (Paid For for WeirdKev27)

Gorsh all you happy people and welcome back to Goof Week, my Weeklong Celebration of everyone’s favorite goofus.

And today we have a special treat, something nice and obscure but something that still has a vital place in Disney History. Welcome folks to Sports Goof in Soccermania!

So yesterday in my Goof Troop review I wished there had been another DuckTales episode with Goofy, you know maybe find out what happened to Peg, see Max and Roxanne again that sort of thing. Whelp SOMEONE must’ve hid a Monkey’s Paw around here somewhere because I got this special instead on comision. This is a VERY intresting little artifact as it came out only 4 months before DuckTales, was produced around the same time, and was written by Tad Stones, who would both go on to work on DuckTales and even more importantly create Darkwing Duck.

Not only that but it has some odd things attached to it: it’s the first major production starting Scrooge, as he had an educational short about him, the first animated appearance of the Beagle Boys and most important the FIRST time Russi Taylor would voice Huey, Dewey and Louie, something she’d do till her passing a few years ago. At the time of this article she has not been recast, though I personally vote for Cristina Valenzuela, who took over the role of Young Donald and frankly does such a good job with that voice I didn’t know if Russi had already recorded lines for Season 3 before her passing.

So what IS Sports Goofy in Soccermania you ask? It was a TV Special from 1987, again four months before DuckTales, that was later sold on VHS. My guess is Disney intended for this to become a regular thing like the Charlie Brown or Garfield specials, but my honest guess is with DuckTales MASSIVE success they wanted to put all the TV Animation resources into making more shows to go with it. The fact the special is essentailly a Scrooge story with Goofy in it and Scrooge and the Boys were now tied up in DuckTales probably helped the decision. So we only got one of these and i’m proud to share it for Goof Week. So join me under the cut to see what a Sports Goof is, what Scrooge sounds like without Alan Young or David Tennant andto see me refrence the film UHF because I likes it.

So we open with the titles which are neat and then open at the Money bin, we even get a great sign gag that looks like something Carl Barks would write.

So Scrooge greets his nephews the way he greets everybody.. with a canon to the face... though he backs of firing once he realizes it’s them. The boys ALL wear red this special so .. I guess Huey won and now rules all three bodies with an iron fist? So the Huey Hive Mind asks Scrooge for a donation, a standard Scrooge setup, ask the rich asshole for money, as their trying to help the local soccer program and they need a buck fiddy for a trophy.

Scrooge’s voice here.. is terrible. I do not like to bash voice actors, they are hard working talented people who do a lot of great stuff, often for less pay than they deserve, and this blog ALWAYS makes that painfully clear. And Will Ryan is not without talent: While he hasn’t done much i’m familiar with he did play Petrie in Land Before Time and was great in it. So while I don’t dislike him as a person.. he did an utterly DREADFUL Scrooge. He dosen’t really attempt to do a scottish accent despite the character still saying cannae at one point, and as for what accent he is going for...

His Scrooge just sounds like someone trying to do a “foreign” accent and failing. It just sounds weird and makes every bit of his dialouge aside from one a chore to sit through. And the dialouge isn’t bad dialouge, it’s a well written and animated Scrooge even with the lower budget than Ducktales, but the voice just ruins it for me. Even without Young and Tennant to compare it to this just blows and the fact it’s paired up with the iconic Russi Taylor voice for the triplets.

This being Scrooge he instead fishes a Trophy out of the bin that’s all banged up and dinky and shoos them out. So in natural Barksian fashion the trophy turns out to be worth a million dollars. So we get some reaction shots.. INCLUDING GRANDMA DUCK!

For DuckTales fans joining us who have ZERO idea who that is, since she sadly did not make it into the reboot and Frank did have ideas, Grandma Duck is Donald, Della and Gladstone’s grandma. She’s a sweet old country woman who lives on a farm and is in fact the one who sold him Kilmotor HIll, with her husband renaming it from Killmule hill. I like her a lot since she reminds me of my own grandma and like her she still works when she can. Donald’s cousin Gus loafs around and eats as her farmhand. As you can tell I like her a lot, agani because she reminds me of one of my grandmas so this was nice even if she was only around for 20 seconds of screentime.

This ends up in the paper and sends Scrooge through the roof, literally when he finds out.

Two notes before we move on: The bin has a unique really cool design , though I get why other productions haven’t used it: besides this one’s obscurity while cool it just looks a bit TOO nice for Scrooge. Even in 2017 while still damn cool looking it still looks practicle. This .. is not that.

This looks like MC Hammer built this. It still looks awesome bu tit’s just not Scrooge sadly.

The other is that his Butler is named Jeeves here, but looks almost exactly like Duckworth. Just feels weird is all.

Naturally the Beagle Boys happen upon the paper too and their leader, no name given has a plan: Enter legitmately and win the cup all legal like, which dosen’t sound like it lives up to the beagle code of no hones twork.... until he brings up theri going ot cheat their asses off.

Meanwhile Scrooge tries bribing the boys with a giant trophy at their house... with Donald oddly absent despite Anselmo having taken over for Nash by this point. I know he was still a bit rough at the roll, but come on. It’s just.. weird especailly for reasons i’ll get into soon.

So Scrooge agrees to sponsor the boys teams so he can get the trophy back square, and is forced to buy a knew ball and here we FINALLY get Goofy. I say finally because this special is 20 mintues long and it takes almost a fourth of it for him to arrive. It’s just weird for him to not be in it for so long. I mean I don’t want THIS

Flashbeagle didn’t take a fourth of the special to get to Flashbeagle. It did take longer than that to get to the title track but when your sitting on THIS

youtube

You gotta use it JUST right. Goofy here is not played by Bill Farmer, which IS odd as he did start playing him that year, but my guess is they weren’t sure if they were going with Farmer or the actor who played him in this special, Tony Pope, so they were trying out both as whoever DID get the role would have it for life. Disney takes the casting of the sensational 7 VERY seriously, as evidenced by the fact most cast changes are caused by death and unlike with Tony and Donald it’s clear Colvig hadn’t picked a succesor. I can also see why it’s a hard choice: while farmer IS excellent and was the right man for the job, Pope is still excellent in the role, bringing the warmth and energy you’d expect from Goofy and having excellent comedic timing that’s vital to getting the dog man right. I can see why this was such a hard choice, even if I also see they went with Farmer: Farmer just has slightly more energy to the roll. It’s a small diffrence and something that dosen’t effect the special, but it is a KEY diffrence and the reason Bill’s THE goofy to me even over his original voice actor Pinto Colvig.

Also I may of mispoke there... see it’s not Goofy in this special it’s SPORTS Goofy. No really every bit of dialogue refers to him as Sports Goofy. It’d be like if they refered to then CEO Micheal Eisner as Won’t Think Through Eurodisneyland Micheal Eisner.

So Sports Goofy helps them get a ball in an honestly awesome way and shows despite his clumsy manner, he’s damn cordinated, easily putting everything up and showing some real skill with the ball. So Moneygrubbing Scrooge decides Sports Goofy is his ticket to get the trophy back and recuits goofy as coach and star player for the boys team.

So Asshole Scrooge meets his team the Greenbacks.. which are a bunch of random animal characters with no real personality. They are a hippo, a goat, expresso the ostrich, a navy (blue) seal, an elephant in a beanie, a killaroo and a cheetah or leopard. But I have one question, really simple really easy one...

You need 11 players for a soccer team, thank you google. So they DID get that accurate. With Goofy and the Triplets you only need 7 more. THIS is why Donald’s absence is glaring: he’s just oddly not there when they needed 7 other characters but Elephant in a Beanie gets in there. And it’s not hard ot fill either: Donald , Daisy (Because duh), Gyro and Grandma Duck (Because both cameoed but I only mentioned Grandma Duck, though this is ALSO Gyro’s first apperance), Gladstone (who as it turns out had a cameo storyboarded that didn’t make it into the final product), Gus (Since grandma duck) and Scrooge’s butler since he was in an earlier scene anyway so why waste the character model. They could still play the same roll as easily steamrolled underdogs and it’d make more sense. It just baffles me that with such a deep bench to play from, they don’t use ANY OF IT in favor of the cast of Animal Soccer World.

The Greenbacks can’t play for greenjack, which worries Scrooge.. but Goofy is able to carry them to the finals, while the Beagle Boys make their way there too. We find this out.. via newspaper transition. We get a bunch of headlines telling us what happened instead of you know a montage because that costs money and they already spent 1.50 making this special.. they only have 50 cents left.

So the Beagles recognizing Sport Goofy is the only thing in their way plots a kidnappin. We get a gut busting scene of the beagles all hiding in Sports Goofy’s house with him being oblvious only to spring on him.

The next day with Sports Goofy a no show the team is bummed, even mor ewhen they find a kidnapping note from Don’tGetNotToLeaveEvidence Beagle Boys. Seriously give that to the officals.

So Asshole Scrooge tries to give a rousing speech... and it is a sight to behold and the one highlight of pope as scrooge... it’s why I picked it as the article image. That glitching isn’t me by the way: it REALLY does that. Coupled with the yellow eyes i’ts just fantastic. So the team decides to morosely play the game and Hivemind Huey boos scrooge for not having faith in him. Instead of again you know telling the officials. Maybe assimilating the other made Huey dumber. I

So the game begins and the Cheating Beagles cream the Give Up To Easily Green Backs, while Sports Goofy watches from the other Crime Beagles hideout. It honestly reminds me of UHF: a dumb well meaning guy whose vital to something succeding is kidnapped.. it dosen’t involve Weird Al dressing up as rambo but still. It also makes me want UHF but with the disney cast. Fethry as weird al, Donald as his best friend, Fethry’s girlfriend for the comcis as weird al’s girlfriend, Gyro as philo, Goofy as Stanley, and Pete of course is Stacey Keach. I could go on but you get the point. Someone draw this. Sport Goofy is a clever bastard and escapes by working one of his shoes off, taking a nearbye knife and cutting himself free.. and almost stabbing a beagle boy in the face but that would just make two. Sport Goofy escapes and the lunkheaded beagle boys chase after him IN THEIR CAR WHILE GOOFY RUNS AHEAD OF IT. Goofy, he can really move! Goofy, he’s got attitude! Goofy HE’S THE FASTEST THING ALLIIIIVEEEEEE. Sport Goofy makes it in time fo rhalf time, rallies the troops and it goes how you’d expect: They overcome the beagles blatant cheating, win the cup, the beagles attempt to cheat with a rigged ball backfires and they all get arrested. It’s by the numbers stuff. We end with Scrooge deciding to dontate the trophy instead (though in a great bit asking if it was tax deductible), and posing for a team shot> We get some awesome credits music and we’re out

Final Thoughts:

This special is mediocre: There are only a handful of great jokes, it’s your standard “teamwork makes the dreamwork plot” that dosen’t work because our underdogs really CAN’T play without their star, and Scrooge’s voice hurts to listen to. Pope and Taylor are great and while Will Ryan is an awful Scrooge, he is a good Beagle Boy or five.

It IS worth a watch though. It’s riffable enough with the sometimes sloppy unfinished animatoin in the last part and Scrooge’s terrible voice, and it is still is a neat oddity for 90′s kids like myself to not only see Russi’s first thing as Huey Dewey and Louie, but to also see Scrooge and Goofy with vastly diffrent voice actors, as well as Gyro and the Beagle Boys first animated apperances. The fact this came just months before Ducktales makes it all the more intresting. So if your looking for a legit good Disney product.. this is shoddy at best if well meaning. But as a bit of disney history, especially only clocking in at 20 minutes so it’ sa brisk watch, it’s worth a look if your into that.

Next On Goof Week: We come on in To The House of Mouse where goofy becomes faster than a speeding punchline, more powerful than pete when his family has to wrestle him to the ground to take him to the doctor and able to make tall leaps of logic in a single bound. it’s SUPER GOOF!

So thank you for reading and if you liked this review give it a like and consider joining my patreon at patreon.com/popculturebuffet. As a patron you’d get access to exclusive reviews, the patreon’s discord and to pick a short each time I do one of these shortstaculars. Donald’s comnig next month and the deadline is in only a few days to join up for said month so the clock is ticking. Even a dollar a month helps me reach my stretch goals so please i fyou can sign up today and if not, I understand and i’ll see you at the next rainbow

Okay, so to my followers, this is going to be the last post about Loki for a while. After this, anyone who wants to talk to me about Loki can send me a message, but I’m tired of having this discussion on my blog at the moment.

...so yesterday, I spent most of my time on this blog having to defend myself because I don’t believe Loki, no matter what good he does in the future, should be classified as a “hero.” I, instead, argued that we should be giving him the title “anti-hero.” This resulted in me being called a “hater” and an “anti.” Thing is, Loki is one of my favorite characters in the MCU. I relate to him. I relate to his story. But because I don’t fall over myself and make excuses for his past deeds, I’m a “hater.”

In the course of the discussion, I even stated that you could probably classify most of the avengers as “anti-heroes,” but the Loki fandom (or “army” as they like to be called) wouldn’t accept that. They acted like “anti-hero” is a dirty word when some of the most iconic characters (Batman, Deadpool, etc.) are anti-heroes.

You see, the fandom has just become way too much like a high school clique. If you don’t like Loki the way they want you to like Loki, you can’t sit with them, and they think it’s an invitation to call you names like “hypocrite” (this is because I hold Thor at a higher level morally than Loki). I pointed out yesterday that I am baffled as to why this is. I mean, you don’t see other anti-hero fandoms acting like this. I haven’t really seen anyone making excuses for the likes of Harley Quinn or Catwoman, but for whatever reason with Loki, his fandom seems to believe that if they can’t erase bad things he’s done, then there’s no way to love him as a character, so they have to mischaracterize him to be a poor little bean instead of embracing his complexity.

The most ironic part is I was accused of seeing everything in “black and white” when I was literally the only one suggesting that Loki belongs in a grey area. He is not 100% good and he is not 100% bad, and that’s what makes him interesting, but they ignored that part. It was easier for them to believe that I have it out for Loki and I’m trying to take away from their fun, which is another pattern I’ve noticed with his fandom.

For the past several months (though, it’s probably been happening longer) I have seen his fandom vilify Taika Waititi because they didn’t like his handling of Loki...and I mean, it’s cool if you don’t prefer his take on the character, but vilifying him? Acting like he had it out for Tom Hiddleston and Loki because they didn’t like his interpretation? They’ve all but drawn devil horns on the director. It’s childish, and I expect better from a fandom that contains a great number of adults.

Again, Loki is one of my favorite characters. I read fanfiction. I write fanfiction. But because I don’t like him, baby him, or enjoy him like his “army” wants me to, I can’t be considered a “real fan” and that just takes away from it. This stuff is supposed to be fun, and I don’t have fun when interacting with his “army.”

And this, kiddos, is why I don’t participate in Loki’s fandom anymore.

#I mean...there's a possibility maybe they didn't know what 'anti-hero' means #but I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe they're smarter than that #doesn't matter...I blocked them
