finally FINALLY finished watching the legend of korra. it only took me LITERALLY ten years
#tbh lok doesn't make me feel the same way atla does but that isn't necessarily a bad thing#i wish there was more focus on martial arts and history but i understand why there wasn't#history and tradition was EXTREMELY important to aang in ways that it was NOT to korra#i also wish we had seen more silly things about korras childhood but again they were telling a different story so i understand why not#they introduced a lot of new things w this one and i think pro bending was my favorite#cause it was one of the few things that WAS focused on martial arts it was just focused on like. boxing and mma#which is REALLLY fucking cool to see#i have critiques about mako's character but watching him fight was always so much fun because he is straight up mma fighting#for that to be depicted in a show that focused heavily on traditional martial art is so cool to me idk#bolin did it too but earthbending didn't lend itself quite so visually for the same effect#i also ALSO wish the stuff with amon had lasted longer than one season#a big part of atla is that aang is working the whole show to defeat ONE enemy#it felt like there was a new big bad each season#if they went amon -> the red lotus -> the earth empire -> unalaq in terms of season progression#i feel like the stakes would've been paced better yknow??? like the fight against vatuu should've been a Big Fucking Thing#what do i know tho lol#anyway im very excited for the upcoming movie and also the next avatar series#apparently the movie was set to release in 2025 and the series after that but. we'll see

9th Comedy Monologue
“Hey comrades”
“How are you now that summer is upon us?”
*listens to the responses*
So a lot has happened, Endgame happened and the BAFTA’s happened and lots of other stuff happened
The BAFTA’s were disappointing and some jokes lasted too long….like the joke I’m telling right now
Endgame though, cue to the part where I skip spoiling the film for people who still haven’t seen it
There was a scene where Ant-man….lost a taco
*melodramatically tries to look sad*
I know, very emotional scene, it looked like a such a good taco luckily Hulk shared his instead
Thor though, boi I have something to say about Thor,
Thor should be nominated for Queer Eye,
That is all
apparently, the guy that did Gangnam Style, PSY was inspired by Queen to start performing
speaking of music stars I learnt that Bowie once got struck in the eye with a lollipop during a Norway gig
“Ouch” but despite that, he continued on extending the gig
Legend,  he also did a radio theatre concert, the year before my birthday and way before that Labyrinth was released, then again goblins are getting quite popular again
I am goblin kin
iconic, so...
Way back in 2011 I made my first youtube channel and I made my own series of youtube stories with my dolls think a cheesy sitcom version of Toy Story about a place called DreamLand which was an "afterlife/home for fictional characters".
It was about the adventures of Pauline Super Mario's first girlfriend before Peach, and how she lives in DreamLand with the girls she adopted, however, I was a beginner when it came to writing and comedy so it was similar in tone to Disney teen sitcoms
the characters were Lexa, Merlin, Avery, Ava, Scarina, Snow Bow, Mako, Emily, Lucky, Felica, Emma and Marshmellow, I had a sad backstory for most of them but most of them also already had established names so only a few were original characters mainly it was just Pauline, Lexa, Merlin, Avery, Scarina and some others, but in the story versions there was Ava, Snow Bow and a couple more
I wanted it to be a big production with lots of sets but I couldn't afford all the "props" I wanted at the time (I was also a bit of a brat who would make Christmas lists that were like 4 pages long so I grew out of it)
I also paraded DreamLand like it was the best thing since sliced bread and it wasn't, the production was not good and I used an iPod to record and the camera was almost always shaky
I also had a multiverse movie thing planned that would involve the Mario characters but that couldn't happen, back then I focused more on the stories, backstories and props rather than the character development, personalities and camera movement
on one hand, it taught me early skills about story writing and short film making but boi a lot of the dialogue was cringy, and the characters weren't made with much personality.
     this was also when my "American sounding voice" had started to show and I was still a young teenager who at times had a very high voice
I felt a bit ashamed of having made the series until I watched one of Charlie Brooker's programmes and after learning that other producers and directors have done similar small scale productions with their toys and action figures as kids that's made me feel less bad about that
It was a multiverse small scale youtube series that referenced Nintendo, Bratz and My Little Pony with characters that mixed between being Original and being reinterpretations of already established characters
And the dialogue for this series, My Goodness it was cringy
I would mispronounce genre as Jenner and….the first episode involved a talking toothbrush, not just any talking toothbrush, a Fred figglehorn toothbrush, the kid who did youtube videos of him screaming in a chipmunk voice, No wonder I’d get into the young ones later in life with its cutaway gags and surreal themes
Or in the scene that references Clockwork Orange the character, Scarina is being held captive by the character Yasmina who says “I went to medical school but I'm not a doctor”  how my 12-year-old self came up with that I’ll never know
My early youtube influences were quite mixed I’d watch film and video game critique channels, makeup gurus and animators
In fact, one of them actually unexpectedly noticed me on twitter a month ago
It was another post I made about asking my viewers about what famous people they think I resemble or look like
And the youtuber said One of those guys from the vintage TV show “The Young Ones”
That made my day
The former youtuber was Mike Mozart, he was a reviewer of vintage and notoriously bad toys, he also was one of the first people to get involved in spreading awareness of the copyright controversies going on at the time, he’s also a part-time graffiti artist, one of my idols
Another youtuber who has recently noticed me was Blaire White
She made a post about the current  beauty guru drama
I'm sorry but all these Beauty Influencers have the easiest job. All y'all had to do was blend some eyeshadow and collect your millions but you choose to cause WW3 instead.   
I responded it's not world war 3 it's world war tea
She simply laughed in her response, the last I recall “world war tea” being said was when people were commenting on an old Tumblr post that advertised a large jug of Tea next to several McNuggets
..in other news Tommy Robinson and other twits have got milkshake spilt on them...
the year is 2019
World War Tea is upon us
makeup gurus causing a dumpster fire
while comrades fight fascists and Nazis with eggshells and milkshakes
keep the milkshakes coming bois
And Burger King thinks they can join in on the fun…
*pauses folding my hands*
They don’t want to wave a red flag they just want your money, and if you think that’s bad over in the us,they’re also making mental health a theme in some of their new meals, the  hashtag feel your way campaign…
Ugh, absolutely soulless
Like what’s going on in America right now...
I’ll say this, the one good thing you can take from Clockwork Orange
is the message about the importance of one's right to choose
Now, my fellow droogs what choice will you make?
