I can help. I can show you how to trick the machine.

The Americans: Arpanet (2.07)

#why is this show so dark and so low res jesus christ #these look SO authentically eighties and i wish that was a good thing #anywho bringing you the underrated part of the ridiculous polygraph scene to the very best of my poor giffing abilities #choices were made for oleg that season #like the dumb smile he gets on his face when he gets one of his sappy lines in. it's why he felt so PAINFULLY young to me #and nina's actual polygraph scene is so good. when she tells stan she knows about what he did?? incredible #there were so many more little glances. but i had to pick these ones the stan vs oleg of it all is too funny to miss #also it's so funny how the whole episode the script can't quite decide if nina and oleg are already a thing or not #like it makes sense that they are and there *might* be signs as early as the initial talk with arkady #but then when they're alone he addresses her with formal pronouns?? and like yeah he's a spy and they're trying to be subtle #but the man is NOT subtle #he got fully in her face right in front of the polygraph dude's salad #nina sergeyevna krilova #oleg igorevich burov #stan beeman #the americans #theamericansedit #nina x oleg #my gifs

I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.

it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"

plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.

anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.

#blazing saddles #finx watches tv #finx rambles #I recognize that I'm saying all this as someone who's not black #but I am also saying it as someone with a basic understanding of race relations in the usa #and a basic understanding of sarcasm #bc it really does not take more than that to recognize what they're doing in this movie #it is NOT subtle #and it is very funny #mel brooks movies are kinda hit or miss for me ngl #men in tights is great if a bit too crass for my taste #spaceballs has great jokes but the central story lacks any real heart so it doesn't grab me #history of the world was just kind of unpleasant and then I switched it off #but blazing saddles? phenomenal #I could not stop laughing the whole way through #and the central story DOES have heart bc it's the friendship between bart and #whassisname #jim #the Kid #plus bart working out how to succeed at an impossible task #also frankly cleavon little just grounds the comedy really well even before gene wilder shows up and we get their chemistry #bc he's cool calm collected and constantly inviting the audience into the joke #but the character's not too cool to ever mess up or ever be silly #he makes bad choices and gets into bad situations and then has to get himself out of them #but it's.....oh wait duh there's a term for this already #he's the straight man #he grounds all the zany nonsense by being in strong contrast to it #and he does a great job of it!#anyway #point is I deeply enjoyed this movie and I'm glad I finally watched it

anakin: so, what, now i’m just supposed to do anything that cody does? i mean, what if he jumped off a cliff?

obi-wan, who simply wanted the two to get along for once; if cody were to jump off a cliff, he would’ve done his due diligence regarding the height of the cliff, the depth of the water, and the angle of entry, so yes. if you see cody jump off a cliff, by all means, jump off a cliff.

anakin: you jump off a cliff!

obi-wan: gladly. provided cody did first.

cody, sipping his caf in the doorway: :)

#commander cody #star wars the clone wars #obi wan kenobi #codywan #obi wan x cody #incorrect quotes #codywan incorrect quotes #more subtle codywan but eh its something– he trusts this man with his life

Let the revenge games begin.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin guangyao #nie huaisang #He's gonna call his 5 horse friends up. They have to go on a 14 year long journey to finish the job but by god they will do it.#The sheer chaos in the Audio Drama is really fantastic. Reminds me of those traincar murder mysteries.#The lights go off and there's a scream and then BOOM dead body. Who did that!!!#Okay it was qi deviation and he did it to stop himself from killing his brother. He did it to himself.#JGY sadly has the worst alibi ever though. Both the strongest motivation and also uhhh presence at the scene.#Not to nitpick but as someone who loves murder mysteries - I do feel like even *one* other suspect would have made it stronger.#I get that he tried to make it look like an inevitable Qi Deviation and that it *is* something within the family legacy.#And a big part of NHS figuring it all out comes down to his own perceptiveness and intelligence.#If you weren't close enough to JGY and NMJ of course it looks like an accident.#Sadly 'guy who plays the 'poor little meow meow card'' is also weak to 'guy who plays the 'poor little meow meow card''.#NHS was the better subtle manipulator at the end. That's probably the strongest mystery part of MDZS. And why he's in my top 5.#My man pulled the 'kill him just as he falls from the top of his game and loses everything' gambit and I love him for it.

CONCEPT DOODLES for an AU I dabbled in with a few friends after the winter king episode but kinda forgot about after the Fionna and Cake finale... I decided to revisit it and explore a little more after coming to terms with everything LOL... So, it's another "Winter King doesn't die immediately after his crown gets nuked" AU, but THIS TIME he's just dying really slowly (like Simon in the Betty episode) and ALSO joins Fionna, Cake, and Simon on their search for magic crowns. There's no logic behind this tbh, we just wanted to put him through The Horrors. And make them all friends. But mostly The Horrors. :) (he only gets to live as a treat, because I think he's funny).

Bonus (old screenshot), because this is still funny to me:

#adventure time #atimers #fionna and cake #winter king #simon petrikov #fionna campbell #cake the cat #shared custody au #winter stowaway au #fan art #digital art #flat color #2023 #this is my blog so whatevers man... ima just post what I want now... and what I want rn is silly simon AUs LOL...#so expect more of me releasing my stash tomorrow #this AU makes the story like 500x more messy but it's fine it's funny that's the point don't think too hard about it #this is their fault for killing him now I gotta make up scenarios where he is alive #his design is inspired by some doodles my friend crayon did #ALSO I wanted to keep some of his features different from default simon so they're easier to tell apart...#like YEAH they're the same character... but also I just think it'd be fun... if they had subtle differences... because alternate universes #ALSO HE'S PALE BECAUSE HE'S DYING. JUST MAKING THAT DISCLAIMER... HIS SKIN TONE IS KINDA CLOSE TO DYING SIMON IN THE BETTY EP #BUT IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES HE'D BE CLOSER TO SIMON'S COLORS

Callbacks to older episodes

#the last one is kind of subtle. theyre from edas childhood bedroom lol #the hospital and amity’s ship are probably my fav references.. considering we saw at least 3 different precincts in the show it prob implies #there are way more of them all over the isles. also the sheer symbolism of the precinct being changed into a hospital fucking got me man #also amity’s ship with the little cat paws and face bc of luz making a cat face out of her abomination… I love them #HHHHHGGGGG IM GONNA MISS THIS SHOW MAN #if you notice to the right of eda’s office THERES a mural of raine and a small photo of Luz and King #there are also symbols of the titans skull replacing the emperors coven and the attention to detail is insane #they even managed to sneak one into 1 or 2 backgrounds which I did not expect #the owl house spoilers #toh spoilers #toh #the owl house #toh watching and dreaming #watching and dreaming #watching and dreaming spoilers #wad spoilers #toh finale spoilers

A break from our regularly scheduled programming: a DBHC Docm77 reference sheet!

This is something I’d like to do for all of the androids as I get more familiar with their designs and story, so I don’t know how long it’ll be until all of the androids are done, but for now, here’s a little bit of a peek into my thought process behind doc’s design! His never-before-seen Pre-Deviancy design was both incredibly fun and incredibly disorienting bc for real who is that man DBJCGHK but he’s also kinda fun to draw =w= So I may do some Beginning of S8 doodles or comics at some point for fun :3

#docm77 #dbhc #dbhc doc #hermitcraft dbh au #doc #art escapades #character reference sheet #I HOPE YOU LIKE HIM #don’t mind the subtle lore hints <3 #etho is currently done and tango is on the way so!! look forward to them at some point!! :3 #oh man this feels like it’s missing tags #OH WELL #dbhc art #dbhc ref
