#a show from 2009

To this day, I will never understand what possessed the scientist in Spliced to do what he did.
Like he created sentient hybrid creatures, and left them on an island to form a society.
But the Platypus jokes are on point.
#spliced#a show from 2009#it was one of my favorites growing up#the only non-hybrid creature was a platypus#and it was a running joke that all the other characters thought she was an amalgamation like the rest of them#she wasn't and got visibly annoyed whenever they laughed her off for saying otherwise

rotating shadowpeach dynamics and angst in my brain and wound up drawing a Peter Pan-ish AU, ft. Sun Wukong as Pan and Macaque as Captain Hook
this was mostly inspired by what I've heard about the original Peter Pan being a little darker in some areas than expected - basically take the shadowpeach backstory of 'events outside our monkey bros control force distance between the two besties, SWK basically rolls with the punches and SEM does NOT leading to one ugly blowout of a fight that permanently fucks up the bromance' and apply Peter Pan lore:
Mac becomes Wukong's tagalong/lost boy/BFF when Smol, but as time goes on, he grows up and SWK does NOT, losing interest in the friendship and sending Mac into a panic. He desperately tries to hold onto their friendship and chase after SWK, but that just backfires when Wukong lashes out. Down a hand and an eye, Macaque becomes obsessed with vengeance and continues trying to catch/kill SWK, growing up into a ruthless pirate captain
something that was just tugging on me with this idea is that in this AU, SWK's character growth basically gets surgically removed on account of the 'permanently an immature child' thing, and WOW yeah that part of the Peter Pan lore is kinda underused for angst wtf
bonus: drawing timelapse go brrrrrrrrrrr
#i got shook'd by my own au idea#shadowpeach#but platonic on account of the#peter pan au#also partially inspired by how gotdamn cute SEM was in the 2007 (i think) chinese cartoon#EDIT: i was off by 2 years - that show's from 2009 TuT#i haven't finished it yet because i am DISTRESSED at his corruption arc#peachbuds?#peachbuds#...huh for someone who clings to the wholesome aspects of the monkeys relationship in various adaptations#i sure did decide to draw a absolutely UN-wholesome au of the dynamic :/#lmk#jttw#monkey king#sun wukong#six eared macaque#liu'er mihou#lego monkie kid#fanart

The fact that Iroh never stops calling him Prince Zuko. Even when they’re begging on the street or camping in the wilderness, when Zuko is at his lowest, when he doesn’t even know where his destiny lies, when he feels like anything but royalty, Iroh never stops reminding him who he is. Never stops calling him Prince.
I’m going to go eat glass btw
#and other hot takes from 2009#atla#IM LITERALLY LOSING MY SHIT OVER THEM ONCE AGAIN#atla is one of those shows you just have to do a rewatch of every few years#so you can go insane and cry and blow up forever

Wild time to be a longtime N2N fan. I’m reveling in it but at the same time I just had someone reblog one of my posts with “#next to normal spoilers” tagged
#like what do you mean people aren’t learning about the plot via Wikipedia and a grainy bootleg filmed from behind a pole in 2009#what do you MEAN they’re just watching the show. like it just exists to watch.#that’s allowed?!??#next to normal#n2n#my post

top twelve possibly autistic characters in movies/tv. I love them.










One of these is a murderous psychopath.... the answer may surprise you... (it's Mark Corrigan)
[also Dave from Mystic River and Dr. Nathan Bronfman from Human Nature and the guy from Nothing to Lose but I can't have so many Tim Robbins ones ripppp...he just plays that kind of character too well.]
#this is just my opinion btw#but also i'm right and I take no arguments#all ebenezer scrooge's are autistic but i mean specifically Michael Caine's Scrooge in Muppet's Christmas Carol#because i said so#and ignoring the obvious ones like Boo Radley or Sherlock Holmes or Gabe from The Office#[the movies in order]-->#hudsucker proxy (1994)#Hamlet 2 (2008)#Falling Down (1992)#Peep Show (tv show)#AMC The Terror#Blues Brothers (1980)#Captain Ron (1992)#District 9 (2009)#I'm Alan Partridge (tv show)#the Shawshank Redemption (1994)#Psych (tv show)#Muppets Christmas Carol#headcannon#the terror#the terror amc#pictures#john irving#christmas carol#alan partridge#district 9#mark corrigan#peep show#carlton lassiter#blues brothers

One of the most important things to practice in analyzing or even appreciating media is placing that media in the appropriate historical context.
For example, it is incredibly short-sighted to criticize Revolutionary Girl Utena for being formulaic and reusing animation sequences based on preferences and standards from the 2020s, but it's also incredibly short-sighted to only rebut that the repetitiveness is thematic when it was animated in 1997 and directed by a guy who worked on Sailor Moon.
#restrictions of the medium and the production can be used toward thematic purpose. but you shouldn't imply they exist for that purpose#and the end point of interpretation shouldn't be retroactively applied to conception#and watching old shows out of context of what else was being made around that time is just ignorant#like rgu in 1997 shouldn't be approached the same as haruhi's endless eight in 2009#repetitiveness is thematic in both but the context is different#for the record I think both are good. but i also binged endless eight and didn't have to tune in week to week for two months#so my opinion is also formed by removal from historical context. which i have to understand to see why it's disliked#it's normal to struggle watching formulaic 90s shows today when the access and infrastructure to view them is completely different#not to mention how cultural mindsets around media and entertainment have drastically shifted with those changes#you have to just put your brain in “old show” mode and let it do what it's gonna do man idk what to tell you. learn how to watch old media#revolutionary girl utena#rgu#utena#shoujo kakumei utena

the clearer image of the game:
#anyway apotheosis as a video game would TOTALLY be a niche rpg with so many secrets and endings and stuff#with the true ending or good ending being REALLY rare#because like. the ending of the campaign had SUCH a little chance of happening. with all the nine lives stealer stuff#THIS IDEA HAS EXISTED IN MY MIND FOR SO LONG i have finally done it#anyway this is just. a love letter to apotheosis and old internet and niche games#technically i wasnt... on the internet in 2009. i was a little too young. but. shhhhhh.#that is my nintendo ds btw! the stickers are the offcuts from a smiggles skin that my sister put on her nintendo ds LOL#ive had it for. coming up on 14 years now. wild.#my artwork#jrwi#jrwi fanart#just roll with it#jrwi show#jrwi apotheosis#jrwi rumi#jrwi thanatos#jrwi peter#peter sqloint#thanatos jrwi#rumiracle#jrwi exandroth#jrwi compassion#jrwi wisdom#apotheosis#jrwi apotheosis spoilers

I so desperately require a sub species of whump categorized by watching a character slowly but surely lose their shit
Hear me out, (you're on Tumblr you probably want to get in on this anyway)
You could fill more than two silos at the very very least with the ragdoll bodies of characters this should apply to. Think along the lines of CryOfFear, the earlier seasons of Hannibal, even pathologic would fit in this if you look at it in the right way (I'll just be tagging a shit load of characters I've slathered this on)
This shit would still apply to characters that weren't okie dokie to begin with. Look me in my eyes and tell me lord protector Corvo Attano was an entirely stable man before the events of dishonored 1. I'm sorry, prison and torture or not, normal people don't jump to inter dimensional sugar babying and eating rats that quickly
Usually this trope doesn't even have to be angst-y, I have seen more than 6 people refer to Corvo as "rat dilf" and I find that fucking hilarious
#prototype 2009#alex mercer prototype#ihnmaims#allied mastercomputer#am ihnmaims#dishonored#corvo attano#hannibal#will graham#cry of fear#cof simon#pathologic#daniil dankovsky#warframe#excalibur umbra#crashouts and breakdowns are just delicious dont deny it#fandom slop#every piece of fan content i have ever written tastes bat shit insane#blorbo from my games#blorbo from my shows#blorbo from my books#feast upon my niche slop#i know this doxxes me for being a horrid little fanslop gremlin but you probably already knew that if you're familiar with my bs#ive completely succumbed to the slop but i really dont care anymore#the problem isnt the obsession its when ive burned through all the content for it thats the problem#writing#writblr#fan writing#fandom purgatory#the prototype and dishonored fandoms are in a draught rn and its slowly poisoning me

I’m watching being human for the first time and I’m on the season one final “but there was this” ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! The supernatural is a metaphor for love actually.
#but there was this#the way the hug eachother#like it’s the most important thing they’ll ever do#all three of them#that’s LOVE#you can see it#Mitchell sacrificing himself for George#making sure Annie will be safe too#George sacrificing his future for Mitchell#Annie abandoning her afterlife to save Mitchell#so George wouldn’t be alone#love is sacrifice#a show from 2009 is having profound effects on me#John Mitchell#George sands#Annie Sawyer#being human#being human bbc#it was so simple yet so profound#it almost brought me to tears#i am going to have to get it tattooed#but it wasn’t human was it?#LOVE IS NOT HUMAN#i am so normal about this decade old show#my whole life will be and then what… but there was this#the three of them standing in that dungeon#oh my god#i love it#being human uk#.

I was watching dancing with the stars and I recognized a song and couldn't remember for the life of me where I knew it from. just remembered it was the song that PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND in glee when kurt and blaine and sebastian danced together at scandals and now cannot believe I remembered that song. lmfao.
#they didn't even fucking sing it it was just in the damn background but i still remembered the exact scene at which it was from#glee#glee 2009#glee tv show#kurt hummel#blaine anderson#klaine#sebastian smythe#sebklaine#seblaine#kurtbastian#grant gustin#glee cast#gleek#glee fandom#glee ships#glee couples#glee season 3#chris colfer#darren criss#dancing with the stars

actually 7x14 and 7x15 are insane cause they were like “hey guys. your main couple are irrational about each other. remember that? here’s castle trying to kill that serial killer guy who’s part of the overarching storyline cause he refuses to tell him where beckett is. here’s beckett murdering the woman who kidnapped her and separated her from castle.”
and then. they just. go back to regular solving murders silliness. no show like this ever
#SO INSANE#at the end of the episode theyre like haha castle you can join the force again!! XD like what.#post season 6 is always so insane cause they have absolutely NO linking between huge plot events and then going back to regular murder eps#like. espo and ryan nearly die in a fire. next episode theyre like oh hey ryan’s back from paternity haha#AND NO MENTION OF THEM NEARLY DYING#honestly just. the way they never bother to link the events back to 3XK stuff. especially when its an episode following a 3XK episodeTM#they DO NOT give a shit about that guy unless he’s actively ruining their lives once a season#its so. Yeah#same with the whole beckett’s mom murder arc#like. its so. surreal#the show ever#castle#castle 2009#castle series#rick castle#kate beckett#caskett#sam eats castle
