Adora: Wait! Catra! Aren't you gonna gloat about your evil plan before getting rid of us?

Catra: Oh, you would like that, wouldn't you, Princess? Then you'll try to escape and thwart my plan, but you can't do it if you don't know what it is! My lips are zipped!

Adora: Fine, okay. 

*Adora is led off*

Catra: All right, wait! I'm... going to gloat. But I'm not going to give you any information you could possibly use! Okay, there's this place, and I'm going to destroy it in a way they would never expect.

Adora: Sweet mother of Mara! You're gonna destroy Bright Moon with a secret attack fleet!

Catra: D'oh! But HOW did you do that?! I just HATE you, Adora!

Uh-huh, I drew this article! !

The order of this comic may not be that correct, BUT what I want to express is that I really like this short article, it is great...

Warp's change of mood and Buzz and his slapstick are very cute... (cry)

I hope they can really be together after all this...

Also, I'm sorry if this offended the author of the article, I'm not sure if he is on this site, sorry!

'Captain Buzz Lightyear: Star Command'

[MULTI] [GERMANY] [MAGAZINE, BANNER] [2001]

"Note to self: Jump on a bandwagon before it grows stale. Otherwise, something like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command might happen. Granted, running after a boss and shooting things in the process is a way to pass the time, but only for a grand total of five minutes. Graphically not all there, and with gameplay that made me run for the hills, BL will not be on my top 50 games to buy. Please, Activision, no more Buzz."  ~Kristian Brogger, Game Informer (December 2000, #92)

Why the terribly underrated brazillian song "Lindo Balão Azul" is perfect for the BLOSC/Toy Story/Buzz Lightyear fandom (I'm trying to show it to you)

This is one of my very niche posts, but it's targeted towards the blosc/toy story fandom. Here is a brazillian song from 1990 called "Lindo Balão Azul". It's one of those songs aimed at children, and it's a source of nostalgia for brazillians till this day because of childhood memories and very characteristic 80s lyrics/sonority. The lyrics of the song are very imaginative and fun, talking about space traveling, and inviting the listener (the children) to come with them to travel in outer space. The songs also make references to creativity and imagination, with the singer referring to himself as someone who lives "with his head in the clouds". There is a lot of adventure in the lyrics, inviting the listener to have fun, and this song as a whole reminds me of a lot of stuff from the brazillian childhood like the Xou da Xuxa show or the Recreio magazines (which published some Buzz Lightyear of Star Command comics in the early 2000s in case you don't know)

This whole introduction was to give you context of the song, so that you know that it's from around the same period that the first Toy Story came out. They're unrelated, I'm just talking about how the nostalgias from both medias match a lot. But what interests me the most are the lyrics. Of course, the song is in brazillian portuguese, but I'd like to show you a translation to english.

The title of the song "Lindo Balão Azul" means "Beautiful Blue Balloon", because they're traveling through space in a beautiful blue balloon (again, a fantasy, imaginative narrative).

There is a term that's constantly repeated through the song that is "eu vivo sempre no mundo da lua". This term, "mundo da lua", means "in the moon world" (the whole quote being "I always live in the moon world"), but it's a slang for being out of touch with reality, deluded. It means the same as "living in a dream world" or "living with your head in the clouds", but it's said "moon world" instead, because in Brazil that's one of our sayings. Why am I giving such emphasis to this quote? Because the song has a space theme, and the slang "living in a moon world" is like a pun to the fact that the singer is daydreaming about space and about an imaginative adventure, meaning that he's always "in the moon world" in two different interpretations. It's a pun with being crazy and the dream itself it's about the space. And the use of the world "lunatic" right after is another pun, because "lunatic" is used to define a crazy person, but since he just spoke about being on the moon, the word lunatic, like luna, or "lua" in Brazil, means moon. For example, to illustrate: "I'm always in the moon world... I'm moonatic". (I'm crazy, but i'm from the moon at the same time)

The song can be positively interpreted as the vision of someone very creative and who lives with his head in the clouds, dreaming of adventures in space ( or it can be taken to a more negative interpretation similar to the story of Don Quixote, which in case you don't know, is a very famous story of a man who was crazy and fantasized that he was a knight in armor, fighting inanimate objects). In any case, it's another children's song from the 80s/90s that stimulated a lot of imagination, adventure and fictional fantasy situations in children, like playing make-believe. You know how the 80s and 90s were like.

I think this song is extremely fitting with Buzz Lightyear. Yes, with Buzz from the Toy Story movies, but also with Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (the cartoon), because of it's fantasy, imaginative, colorful space story. I like how there's a part saying "I always live in the 'moon world'... because I'm adventurous since my first step... to infinityyyy! Yooo!" And the song/singer immediately starts to invite the listener to come have fun with them, like inviting the children to this fun adventure and make-believe playtime. Then, right after, they start to describe the fun things that they'll do together: "hitch a hike on a comet's tail, see the milky way, such a beautiful road! Play hide and seek in a nebula, then go back home in our beautiful blue baloon". All of this stuff is impossible to happen, but in a child's imagination everything is possible, and it sounds so fun. I mean, I WOULD LOVE to go on an adventure like this.

I think a Buzz Lightyear edit with this song would hit soooo so damn hard. Both with Toy Story and BLOSC. Why not editing both together? Like using the scenes of Buzz being delusional in the part where the singer talks about being lunatic and living in the "moon world", but when the "because I'm adventurous since my first step... to infinityyyy! Yooo!" part starts we can change to BLOSC scenes and show team Lightyear together in tons of different adventures while the part about the fun stuff they'll do in space start to play (like how it is in the BLOSC opening ahhh!!!). Like, showing how Buzz's adventure is like in his mind, or how it would be like. Of course, we can't forget to add to the edit the amazing retro-futuristic aesthetic that BLOSC has, to capture it's essence.

I would love to make something like this but I'm not really good with editing, plus I have too many stuff to do, so I'd rather just share my ideas.

That's the post, I wanted to bring this song to the BLOSC fandom because it's amazing and I feel like BLOSC fans would love to know about this. It's a truly, truly amazing song, and since the brazillian song "Sol e Lua" became a tiktok trend in the eyes of the english-speaking public, I don't get why this amazing song don't receive the same treatment.

I WANT TO DO SO MUCH MORE STUFF FOR HALLOWEEN— But for right now, please enjoy this drawing of my silly little hologram bby Eerie with a pumpkin bucket. 😭And an introduction since I haven’t ever shared them here DKCJDDJSKJSX

Eeriemith 👻⚡️also known in my brain as spooky ghost woo woo, is a Blosc fan villian inspired by holograms, ghosts (Luigi’s Mansion specifically), the Virus from Scooby Doo Virus Chase, the sentiment of the ghost in the machine and the musical instrament the Theremin (check it out it’s super cool!)

Eeriemith is corrupt data / an old ai software that bounces around using computer system broadcasting communications.

Extremely jealous of new technology, and bearing a grudge of being abandoned by their owner Eerie will go out of it’s way to attack, sabotage and possess other forms of technology.

It can’t be attacked directly, as it is in a software state. It can be disabled if the source of it’s transmissional state is located and shut down.

Eerie is childish, and goofy often enjoying pulling pranks on unsuspecting space fairers. And shows jealousy towards well maintained and beloved techologic life forms. Eerie doesn’t speak in english but communicates in musical frequencies that other robots can understand but many organics can not. (Theremin woo woo noises!💖)

Eerie was originally made with the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon in mind 🤔 Since there was a group of baddies in the show based off of classical monsters, eg. Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankenstein’s Monster. No ghosties though, so that was definately the motivation for this bby! But I think Eerie would be a fun entity to also exist in the sci-fi universe I have been slowly building up too?

Next up for Disney TVA, who is your favorite character from the cartoons in the 2000-02 half of the Disney One Saturday Morning era: The Weekenders, Clerks the Animated Series, Teacher's Pet, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, House of Mouse, Lloyd in Space, The Legend of Tarzan, Teamo Supremo, and Fillmore?

As I hinted at last time, this one I thankfully have no gaps for. I can't promise that'll hold later in this, but thankfully this was the era. Also thanks for not forgetting clerks and for those puzzled it's here at all, we'll get to that.

The Weekenders: Another from my top 10 list and a true banger. It's also a rare one where the protaganist clinches it: while I like Reno Romano in general, this is his best role and Tino is the right mix of sarcastic, relatable and an actual person to fit the lead role without getting overshadowed.

As for the show itself... I love. Loved it then, would defintely love it now, will never shut up about disney+ not having it. YOU CAN AFFORD THE SERVER SPACE YOU SHAMBLING MONSTROSITIES.

Anyways, good show: It's nice and down to earth, one of the pinacles of slice of life, funny, has a great running gag in the pizza joint which could get old but never did, and one of the best mom character sin Tino's Mom whose the right mix of genuinely wise and sarcastic. It's one of disney's best easy.

Clerks: the Animated Series: Randall. While the series for it's length has a LOT of great characters, it's truly unhinged version of Randall graves is one of the best wacky idiots in all of animation. Jeff Anderson showed some range going from the sketchy but shockingly wise randall of the film (And later sequel.. haven't seen Clerks III Yet), to the absolute bafoon and constant joke factory that is Randall of the animated series. Never has an adaptation going this far off the rails with a character worked THIS well. 80% of Randall's screentime is spent being hilarous and you will repeat everything he says.

The show itself is Disney TVA's only adult show to date, which is weird given Disney+ has been around for a few years at this point and threw off the all ages label 2 or three years back, and while it failed because ABC didn't know what they had, it remains one of my faviorite adult animated cartoons. Part of it i'll admit is nostalgia; I watched this one as a tenager as the first kevin smith thing I could watch and watch it every so often ever since.

Yet even on it's own merits.. the show is just hilaroius. It's lines are embedded in my head partly due to getting in early sure.. but they stay because their just THAT good, paticuarlly episode 2. The show is the opposite of it's source material: amped up, over the top and with Dante and Randall being a butt monkey/only sane man and gloriously idoitic cartoon doofus instead of his own worst enemy and a slacker whose suprisingly wise but impulsive. Yet.. it works. Part of it is unlike other adaptations with this big a change,Kevin Smith choose to do this, brought back the actors who played the characters to do this and did it for good reason: instead of trying to cram clerks into the cartoon format, he adapted it for the format: the characters are wackier because Kevin could do more weird shit with animation, hence episodees about fake clip shows, homages to the last starfighter that become homages to temple of doom, the deadly motava virus, and an episode entirely poking fun at the fact it's nothing like the movie. These six episode are one long vibe and WELl worth your time even if you haven't seen clerks or don't especailly like clerks.

Teacher's Pet: I dont' remember the show itself well, but I liked the movie a lot and need to rewatch it.

Buzz Lightyear: I'd say Booster as I like his design and jovial demanor. As for the series I haven't seen enough to judge it super well, but I really liked the pilot, feel the show did the lightyear concept better than lightyear (not exactly orignal as while that film isn't the worst , it's still a mess), and it has dynamite voice cast.

House of Mouse: Goofy. Donald is great.. but mostly gets pidgenholed into jealously plots over mickey or being a butt monkey. Goofy gets to have way more fun and be himself.

The series itself is the one i've covered most extenstively as Weird Kev had me cover it for a whole year of patreon, and threw in both movies and the ocasinal extra. It's also awesome. The shorts are solid as I mentioned with mouseworks: they can be hit and miss with the donald gets sexually harassed one being possibly the absolute worst donald short i've seen. But it also has a lot of standouts like the blot and round the world in 80 days extra sized shorts, lots of goofy.

The wraparounds are mostly great. again it can be hit or miss, but it usually hits and is possibly my faviorite verison of mickey and friends on the whole (Since ducktales only got to have goofy and donald). It's a nice mix of the old, letting Clarabelle and Horace have easily their biggest roles (i'ts how I met them as kids), and throwing in TONS of homages, and the new, with the guests being a lot of reinssance era faviorites (they got a LOT of use out of james wood), Max being a recurring characters and the 2000's stylings. It was fun, frantic and near perfect. It also gave us possibly the most iconic pete scene there ever was with only petey's king of france and the hot tub scene competing.

God Jim Cummings can sing.

Also put this on disney plus jesus christ

Lloyd In Space: Don't hav ea faviorite. I like the concept but didn't like this much as a kid but wouldn't mind checking it out.. if it was on disney+. god damn

The Legend of Tarzan: Haven't watched this one enoguh to form an opinon. Okay I said I'd seen all of these I didn't say I knew them well.

Teamo Supremo: Skate Lad for his evil kenivl style and catchphrase> The show itself I remember liking a lot but coudl use a rewatch: great style, fun characters, simply held back by the fact the other 2000's superhero shows were better but not bad at all.

Filmore: Probably the lead man himself, stoic, badass and a lot of fun. The show itself is one i'd revisit if, say it again DISNEY+ had it.. and I know I procastinate but come the fuck on.

Filmore is awesome: a crime procediral wrapped in a hilarous school setting. I didn't even know what it was homaging as a kid, which means it works as both a parody/homage to 70's detective shows and a solid one in it's own right. Fun, creative and endellsy entertaining, I don't know why this isn't on disney+

Politics are legitimately a major element of BLoSC, btw. We have episodes where:

an isolationist planet which has recently shaken off an austere, oppressive regime asks to join the Galactic Alliance, and militants from the old regime try to assassinate their planet's ambassador before he can sign the treaty

Zurg seemingly destroys several planets in a show of force to intimidate the Galactic Alliance into surrender

while touring a prison and watching a demonstration of a personality-altering "treatment" which she intends to leverage for political gain, the president of the Galactic Alliance is held hostage by an escaped prisoner

as heir to the throne, Mira is almost forced into an arranged marriage that's actually being used as a distraction by her father's advisor, who plans to usurp the throne

the leader of a planet that serves as the Galactic Alliance's primary source of fusion crystals is secretly leading a terrorist organisation and plans to strike back at the Alliance for the way he believes they've exploited his world

Star Command is secretly extracting dissidents who defect from Zurg's empire and setting them up with new identities to keep them from being executed

Zurg attacks a political summit to stir tensions within the Galactic Alliance

Team Lightyear escorts a senator to a peace summit, unaware it's all a trap by the other side, who secretly aren't interested in peace at all and wanted to probe the ambassador's brain for his planet's defense codes

Zurg takes over a planet due its strategic location as a launching point for a secret attack fleet, and enlists help from a member of the local military who defects to his side

NOS-4-A2 stages a coup against Zurg and uses his resources to build a weapon capable of neutralising the Galactic Alliance

Booster is kidnapped by the Raenoks to force the Galactic Alliance to release their captured leader in a prisoner exchange, and Star Command have to launch a covert rescue mission to avoid igniting an intergalactic war

Team Lightyear encounters the final two members of two warring sides, who fought each other to extinction under the influence of an aggression-stimulating parasite

Buzz is framed by a terrorist group for the attempted assassination of the president in a conspiracy designed to manipulate him into assassinating the president for real

militants attempt to stop the opening of a "decadent" foreign franchise on their world and kidnap their people's ambassador as a hostage in order to free their planet of the Galactic Alliance's influence

an invading force from another galaxy promotes galactic peace to trick the Galactic Alliance and Zurg into disarming so they can be more easily conquered

Zurg attacks the president's ship, forcing it to crash land on a hostile planet, where the president's chief of staff reveals himself to be a traitor and turns her in to Zurg so the emperor can torture her for Galactic Alliance secrets

And political themes come up regularly in other episodes. I really enjoy it and think it does a lot to add depth to the show's universe! These are pretty much all plots that could be played totally straight in a more serious space opera. It's just that BLoSC is a cartoon so you'll have the horrific concept of prisoner mindwipes raised in the same episode as the one where we find out Booster's brain is in his butt.

The political situation in BLoSC is really interesting to me because we get lots of fascinating little snippets of how it all works, and some of it is quite morally murky on the Galactic Alliance's side. For example, it's strongly implied they're exploiting Bathyos for its fusion crystals. They have extensive mining operations there--run by their own people rather than Bathyosians--and Gularis claims, "The air breathers' insatiable appetite for our crystals has ravaged our world." Whether or not we can take this at face value is hard to say, but I think it's probably at least partially true, since it's his whole motivation for turning to terrorism.

The fact that the leader of the Bathyosians even needs to turn to terrorism at all is interesting, because you'd think he'd be able to just kick the Galactic Alliance out if he wanted to. However, his role is specifically "leader of the Bathyosian Council", so I imagine the entire council would have to agree to that, and I think there's a pretty strong reason why they wouldn't, which is that the Alliance is protecting Bathyos from the Raenoks. That fact is established in The Yukari Imprint, and while I don't think we're meant to read too deeply into it, one could pretty easily infer that Bathyos isn't in a position to refuse any of the Alliance's demands, because their choices are basically 1. let the Galactic Alliance strip away their resources at a high environmental cost, or 2. let the Raenoks do the same thing, but with force. So they chose the option that at least lets their people live in peace without fear of constant raids.

And I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of other planets that joined the Galactic Alliance for similar reasons. Heck, that's why an ultra-isolationist planet like Tangea joined--because they realised they needed the Alliance's protection from Zurg. And it's not a bad thing for all these planets to be allying together for safety, but it does open the door for exploitation of their more vulnerable members, which seems to be what's happening with Bathyos.

There are at least three major powers in the galaxy--the GA, Zurg, and the Raenoks--not to mention smaller forces like the Valkyrans (who are implied to have once been much bigger players), and the GA and Zurg are both clearly expansionist, while the Raenoks may or may not be, but are at the very least prone to violence against other worlds, so any independent planets kinda have no choice but to get subsumed by one of these groups eventually, and peacefully joining the Alliance is probably what most see as the best option. And if you think your only other choice is being violently conquered, how much of a choice do you really have?
