cartoon stans of tumblr dot com (cartoonblr, if you will) i have some questions for u
1- is the ghost and molly mcgee episodic? or does it have some continuity but not a lot (ie gumball) or is it more story-driven & has an overarching plot (ie gravity falls)? i keep hearing differing opinions on this/can only find sources on this from a year ago.
2- does anyone have any animated show recs to fill the owl-and-frog shaped hole in my heart. yknow, more fantastical elements & a linear narrative, especially if it's still airing (because i feel like ive seen practically every kids' western animated show like this).
i will take recs for adult animation too!!! i adored castlevania & arcane on netflix (& will watch invincible. eventually. its on my list) & am open to anime recs too, ive literally only watched fullmetal alchemist brotherhood and spy x family (might watch mp100 next? maybe?) & i really wanna watch more. but again i am looking to fill the owl and frog shaped hole in my heart.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Exorcist (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Marcus Keane/Tomas Ortega
Additional Tags: Angst, Masturbation, The Fucked Up Inside of Marcus Keane's Head, Canon Typical Religious Perspectives
Summary:
Marcus doesn't think of the other man in the room when he touches himself.
It’s not that he believes God will judge him. In the ranks of his sins, this can hardly factor, and he has seen far too much to credit the notion that abiding by God's rules might serve to win back his favor. God is far too vast to have time for such pettiness.
But the demons aren't.

at like, 3 min in, lars attempts to converse with james, who, per usual, is completely uninterested in his schemes. lars thinks he has just generated the greatest plan ever. james is like. Hm, Maybe I Will Need 3-5 Business Days To Consider. (but they are still completely in sync) alas.
finally on pc, finally i could paste that url and watch the vid hdjfdhskf
that said, the way james just looks at the page fjkdsfkjfs def not that interested in that "breather", certainly not as Lars dfjshdfjshf
gotta say, tho, that he comes back on line, just to make a joke fjksjfkf classic

saw the barbie movie! it was incredibly fun and camp before anything else and that was really all i was looking for so it was a good experience!
i appreciated the feminist messaging however i felt like the monologue the mom gave especially was inserted a little awkwardly among other things. most of the comments in the movie felt like provocative statements without actually offering the movie's own take on it which i don't think contributes much to the conversation in 2023. the Big Monologue especially was used specifically to be provocative enough to snap the barbies out of brainwashing in-story so i feel like that's a waste. at least they did something more with the idea of that later.
i really like what they did with ken and im glad will ferrel wasn't the villain in this. ken's arc kind of tied in with barbie's arc of discovering for herself which i guess plays into one of the themes of the movie that ties into the big monologue? but anyway i noticed ken's simp thing during the marketing and thought that if the movie was about barbie breaking out of her archetype then there was a lot of potential for ken to develop outside his relationship with barbie and im glad they acknowledged that!
there were some other throwaways lines and concepts that were never expanded on and ultimately that makes the feminism of the movie feel a little shallow. it doesnt try to break any new ground, so it feels very safe and corporate. the corporations summarizing the past 20 years of feminism discourse into one general take that you'll probably agree with if you're not ben shapiro.
but for a corporate cash grab it had a great atmosphere, fun characters, and banging music numbers so even if i wouldn't call it "peak cinema" like all the memes do it's still very fun! and a nice tribute to barbie and ruth handler herself. its only been like 12 hours since i watched the movie though so i may change my mind on this as time goes on
anyway my Super Hot Take about this movie is: this would have worked 100x better as a musical. the great musical numbers and dance sequences aside, there are several sections of the movie where it feels like the characters are just saying the themes the writers came up with instead of natural dialogue. like the mom's monologue i already talked about. it feels awkward in dialogue but it would be REALLY good as a solo number! also the chase scene in the mattel building is just asking to be turned into a dance sequence. stuff like barbie and ruth's conversation at the end would be even more emotional with some vocals too i think. idk maybe i just want a barbie musical. mattel take notes.
also my friend @f1ddlyb1ts was right this really is just like book 3 of infinity train. at least ken doesn't get his face melted off.

the ads for gotg 3 are so funny because they will say “the best marvel movie since endgame” like WILD to imply your best movie was 4 years ago and that none of the NINE other films since then were as good (or *gasp* better…) like i personally have mixed feelings about endgame and in general i’m mcu critical but saying that endgame was the last best mcu movie is wild!! like spider-man no way home exists!! wakanda forever exists!! eternals exists!! shang chi exists!!
