a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn't use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like "...but just this once you can have it for free, don't tell my boss though" he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying "yes..... yes!!!!!" like the sickos comic

Finn: So, um, since we are officially Knowing Each other in a not exactly platonic sense-
Huntress Wizard: The voices of the world tell me that the term is 'friends with benefits'. I feel this is both insufficient and... somehow does not convey the emotional ties involved but linguistics ain't my field.
Finn: Me neither. Which is why it's kind of hard to say but, since we're feeling close enough that it's changed things, you're going to have to be prepared for some... hm.
Finn: Perils, let's say.
HW: In what sense.
Finn: You know I've got people in my... well, it's not BIOLOGICAL family, but 'family' is the only word that comes to mind? People who care a lot about me, and might feel really invested in people that get intimately involved in my life?
HW: Ah. Like your brother, the magical dog.
Finn: Well, yeah, but you've already met him and got that sorted out, and that's not EXACTLY what I mean. And you NEED to be prepared because I am genuinely a little scared for you.
HW: I've noticed a very serious tone shift here. Why does the ground suddenly stink of fear and horror?
Huntress Wizard, feeling a sudden sense of unspeakable doom: And why do I hear... boss music??
Princess Bubblegum and Marceline, looming ominously directly behind her:
Finn: OH NO IT HAS BEGUN.
Princess Bubblegum, speaking in horribly icy tones: Good evening.
Marceline, strumming on her guitar in a needlessly malevolent fashion: So. We hear you're INTERESTED in Finn.
Princess Bubblegum: So we'd like to ask you a few... QUESTIONS. So that we are assured of his safety and emotional well-being.
Huntress Wizard: Ah. So THAT explains the boss music.

LT Back in Action: The fight for Artistic Integrity
I feel like we've commonly identified how in Back in Action, Daffy and DJ were so obviously mirrors of each other with their ambition to go beyond their current positions to be valued by their respective peers. But I don't see people make the connection on how Bugs and Kate's dynamic seemed to serve as a representation of Bugs' balancing act of preserving the remnants of his classic personalities against the growing passage of time and everchanging censorship standards.
The movie makes many references to audience demographics, PC culture, how corporate interest stifles creatives, the fumbling upper management -- all very prevalent subjects for the looney tunes characters. But for this film's focus, we see how it affects the film's leads.
Daffy gets his suggestions shot down in the writing room, his input is undermined by the execs, and was ultimately manipulated into starring in a film without express consent or autonomy. His insistence in pursuing the blue monkey was a deliberate refusal to internalise his debilitating loss of identity after he got fired.
DJ's a secret nepo baby who -- aside from not exactly getting as much recognition for his contributions to the films Brendan Fraser starred in -- seems to be living a rather cushy life judging from the interior of his house. The ending seems to suggest that he was involved in blind-siding Daffy because of his ambition to be more than a security guard. So he was just as much a pawn.
Kate is the newbie Head of Comedy, who is absolutely miscasted for the job and is clinging on for dear life to maintain this seemingly important position by doing what her higher ups want her to do. But because her higher ups are incompetent at knowing what works with audiences -- the moment shit hits the fan, they will absolutely use her as a scapegoat.
And Bugs has to navigate studio politics to pull strings for himself, seems to be well-versed in baby-talking the Warner Brothers into submission, and has developed a far removed capacity for emotional vulnerability. This limitation in expression seems like a learned tactic as he adeptly dodges Daffy's invitations for genuine connection throughout the film. Which makes this version of Bugs particularly best identified for his emotional constipation.
What this goes to show is that these characters were able to convey the struggles, frustrations and burnout that comes with creatives in their continuous battle against the hand that feeds them. Which I find makes this movie all the more timeless, and prevalent in our modern day.

It's a silly shitty edit
Feeling insane about him. Don't touch me, don't look at me, don't breathe at me. I sort of maybe kinda really love him a lot /lh

I’ve kinda always wondered this but is there a reason why redacted/Ren doesn’t kill Taylor? Is it because Taylor is stronger or because Taylor himself isn’t a direct threat to MC?? Is there a different reason?? -❄️
✦゜ANSWERED: They're both equally as dangerous, but Ren's got that "younger and more dexterous" advantage over his f*ther. Taylor is also a major threat towards Angel if they're male/masculine presenting, but that's not the real reason why Ren's left him alone.
...I guess you'd just have to play the finished game or critically analyse all of my old posts to find out why :)

Going live in the early zone or just the normal zone for the british among us. Going to try and finish at least this run of Oxenfree (my first one!) and maybe start another where I don't screw up so bad lol. Poor Nona. Poor Jonas. Poor Clarisse even at this point bro. Join me at 11am on 1/2 on Twitch for radio lockpicking, probable boat theft, and definitely lots of ghosts!

Hello hello!! This is a short update to tell you guys that I might be missing some updates for about a week! I'm going to be dog-sitting for a friend starting tomorrow and I'm not sure how much time I'll have to do requests. I'm going to finish as many requests as possible before I go, but in case I can't finish all of them in time, I don't want anyone to worry! I'm still working on all of them!!
