phineas and ferb quarantine episode where candace is convinced that this time her mom will see what the boys are doing because nobody can even leave the house but somehow linda is always in the wrong room

I made it for the tiger but the bird keeps taking it

sometimes i like to remind myself that sony animation made the emoji movie and then went on to make movies like both of the spiderverse films and now kpop demon hunters

one of my favorite tropes is when the villain has a pet that really likes the hero, so you can imagine my joy watching this movie

While watching Kpop Demon Hunters with my mom, when the Saja Boys showed up she called them the gayest men she’s ever seen and I had to explain to her that’s what kpop boybands are supposed to look like

anyways i just love the way kpop demon hunters stayed true to its roots in korean/asian culture, especially around the core theme of community vs individualism

the fact that it's not a single chosen one but a group of three

the fact that the honmoon is not powered by the hunters themselves but by the energy and love of the fans

the fact that gwi-ma turns people into demons by promising that he is the only one who can help them when he is in fact reliant on his army of demons to collect souls for him

the fact that "your idol" is about surrendering yourself to a single higher power while "golden" is about soaring to new heights together

the fact that gwi-ma preys on people's individual insecurities and shame to get inside their heads while rumi, mira, and zoey set them free in the end by encouraging them to embrace their differences and reminding them that they're not alone

the fact that you can see the audience cheering individually and even pushing into each other to get closer to the stage during "your idol"

while they're linking arms and cheering together and hugging during "what it feels like"

i have not seen the live action lilo and stitch but it feels like that movie sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from kpop demon hunters as a case study for how to tell a story in way that is culturally authentic and still resonates with a broader audience

and i think given that the core theme of the movie is all about community over individualism, the ending, particularly as it relates to rumi and jinu's budding romance, is really the perfect culmination of that broader theme

rumi and jinu's connection has all the hallmarks of that all-encompassing, all-consuming, borderline co-dependent first love where you keep your relationship a secret and sneak out of the house to meet up and feel like the other person is the ONLY person who really gets you

i'm the only one who can understand you, i'm the only one who will love you is the kind of thing that sounds romantic when you're 16 until you get older and realize how toxic it actually is and i love that the movie counters that in "what it sounds like" with rumi realizing that she had that love and support all along from her girls, and later, from the fans who continue to cheer them on through their comeback

it's about connection and sisterhood and love and sharing your fears and lifting each other up and becoming stronger and better together

and as compelling as i found rumi/jinu and as much as i would like to see their relationship explored more in a sequel/series, i just really love that this movie, which is clearly targeted at young women, ends on the message that romantic love is not the end all be all, that friendship is just as important if not more so than a romantic partner, that single women can lead successful, fulfilling lives, that true happiness and freedom start from within

it's crazy that this message still seems revolutionary in 2025 but given the current state of the world, it feels more necessary than ever

[animsid]

the most unreal thing in that movie is not the whole demon hunter stuff, but the fact that the huntrix fell on the podium of top artists bc the group fought and ended ON STAGE during the release of a NEW SONG

i mean if that wouldnt make them become the most famous group in the world irl idk what would. ppl would DISSECT the videos of it happening to find every single nuance, the fans would want to understand WHAT happened and why and it would be top 1 on twitter for at least a month

[animsid]

someone on tiktok said that kpop demon hunters is the closest straight people will ever get to being queerbaited I'm crying

[animsid]

Begging people to understand Netflix did NOT produce Kpop Demon Hunters, that was all Sony Pictures Animation. Netflix DISTRIBUTED the film. It's like how Steam didn’t make Deltarune, they just distribute it.

While Netflix does produce films and shows, in some cases “Netflix Original” just means it's Netflix exclusive, as in you can’t legally watch it anywhere else.

i’m gonna be honest. the saja boys did not get me with soda pop, it’s catchy sure but in no way compares to huntrix. but your idol?? with the outfits? the aesthetic? the lyrics matching the demon vibe? i’m sorry i LOOOVE a gimmick. i love committing to the bit and i looooove when you mix pop with alternative subcultures it works EVERY TIME for me so yeah saja boys def got my soul with your idol, but soda pop, while fun, was not a strong start imo but i get it at the same time bc generic pop will always reach a wider audience than alt monster aesthetics (sadly)

[animsid]

It's funny. I'm so used to my queer ships having someone die in canon that I forgot that's not straight people's experience with their canon ships. I only remembered because I saw multiple straight people throwing a fit that the canon straight ship had one of them die before they even kissed.

[DC] kon: has one (1) adventure with tim

kon: robin my best friend robin. did i mention we're besties

(+ meme ver)

based on this panel from superboy and the ravers #8. i just think its funny that hes going around telling people this (after only having just met tim in wf3 and he also only just met bart in the prev issue so this is pre-yj), only to struggle to become robins friend in the early yj comics. in his defense, tims like one of the first friends his age he met at the time. also double funny because this is from the "batman and robin are urban myths" era so like. they never believed him in the first place.
