I'm sorry for all the political re-blogging lately, voting red could actually threaten my livelihood as an autistic lesbian atheist woman. I also apologize for Glaze ruining the quality.

Here's a Matrix from the show, "ReBoot" as an apology. Got into the show recently and I kinda liked it??

Yes, I love the HC of Matrix being non-binary.

People? In MY computer?? It's more likely than you think!

The following is a fanvertisment and is not connected to the show. ****Yet.*** *Also yes, this is the fourth time I'm posting this because TUMBLR WONT LET ME EDIT SPELLING MISTAKES!

ANYWAY,

Once upon a time, back in 1987, Dire Straits put out this music video for “Money for Nothing”, which, as you know, was a song about wanting my MTV. 

The video was made by two guys (Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson) on a very moody computer. After the video went out, these two guys went to a pub:

Ian: “Hey, we should make a whole show like this!”

Gavin: “Dude, making three minutes almost killed us.”

And so it was decided!🎉

The two guys were joined by two other guys (Phil Mitchell and John Grace) and created the Hub, which then became Mainframe Entertainment. They got even more people, and then they all holed up in this hotel.

They were mad lads with a dream: a whole cgi animated show, and they made it happen a whole year before Toy Story!

Behold! ReBoot!

(Yes that fever dream was real)

Now before I get any of this:

Let me lay this down. If you can’t with the animation of the first season because it was CUTTING EDGE IN 1994, you can close your eyes and listen to it. ReBoot wasn’t just a CGI gimmick. The characters are fully developed, the voice actors are peerless, the plot is sharp, and there’s so many easter eggs that you’ll never find them all.

Never

(And yes the episode "Bad Bob" was the actual catalyst for Fury Road. Look it up)

ReBoot is about what life is like in a computer (in the 90s, because it was the 90s) called Mainframe (because of course it is). People are sprites, the guys that look like 1s and 0s are binomes (which represent 1s and 0s). Bad guys are viruses, and the good guy is a Guardian named Bob, who is a certified cinnamon roll.

In the first season the eps are light and self-contained, mainly because there was constant friction between the Mainframe studios and the Board of Standards and Practices.

They still got away with some pretty dark stuff, like Megabyte (virus) making Enzo (the kid) watch his dog get sliced open (dog got away, obviously) , Dot (sprite) have a hallucinatory breakdown, and the fridge horror of realizing the thousands of worm things (nulls) that plunged off a bridge to their death were actually people.

And Hex's (virus

best girl) scary face single-handedly traumatized an entire generation. 🙂

But busting through a window was a no go, because WhAt If tHe cHiLdReN dID iT tOo?

Anyway, halfway through the second season, ABC cut them loose, so they were like, fuck it, we’re going to start going hard. The story shifted from episodic to arcs and things start to get serious.

Third season the show moved to YTV in Canada, which gave no fucks about shielding the innocent children.

So it got DARK

How dark?

The UK refused to show the entire season, so the audience there had to wait until pirated copies made it across the pond to see how it ended.

Also by 1997, the animation was gorgeous. (Best example of third season animation I could think of that didn't have spoilers)

The show was green-lit for a fourth season on Cartoon Network, but halfway through production Warner Bros took over and the same fucking thing happened.

Because Mainframe was halfway done, they decided not to scrap all of it, but knowing they wouldn't be able to finish it correctly, Mainframe stripped anything that would hint at Season Four's true ending, then left what remained on a cliff-hanger of angst.

FOR 22 YEARS

(It's also why the last four eps of season four seem to make no sense)

And so it was.

Other crap happened, the soul left Mainframe, and its animated corpse spat out “The Guardian Code” in 2018. 

But never say die! The year is (almost) 2024, 30 years later. ReBoot shall rise from the dead, because here come the documentary!!

Do you dare see what you’ve been missing?

What the (UK) government doesn’t want you to know?? 

Then come on down to ReBoot!

We got:

Magnificent bastards with sexy voices!

(Tony Jay at his best)

Kickass women who could probably crush your head with their thighs and you’d enjoy it!

Innuendos in a kid's show!

💗 This adorable cinnamon roll!! 💗

Insane third season glow-ups!

YOUR NEW GOD

These guys!

(Gay roller-skating binome is my boi. I named him Jerry)

Nonstop cultural refs (You'll never find them all. Never.)

(There are literally videos dedicated to trying)

So many computer puns!

Body Horror!

Existential Crisis!

HAVE I MENTIONED YOUR NEW GOD?

This is it, folks! The real thing, the gem hidden in the moose-filled forests of Canadia!🌲🌲🌲

Take a trip inside a mid-90’s computer!

See the World Wide Web! (omg):

Witness the original purple Gamecubes that randomly fall from the sky when the owner of the computer (OUR GOOD LORD THE USER) wants to play a game. If it lands on people and they lose, they dissolve into mindless energy leeches, fated to tormented by their former bretheren for all of eternity.

Just like in real life! 🙃

So watch the eps! They on YouTube!

I think they're on Pluto, Hulu, Sling, and Tubi too! Also DVDs for people who have the patience to wait for them!

WATCH! BELIEVE! SUFFER THE SOUL-CRUSHING RAGE OF THE SEASON 4 CLIFF-HANGER!* (come on, its fun!)*

HYPE THE DOC!

The more people hype, the better the chances of actually getting it finished.

NOW SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE!

And now I will leave you with this screenshot from the ep "Painted Windows", where dicks can clearly be seen drawn upon the wall behind the fleeing anthropomorphized television.

(PS: If you heard the clown pic at the top of the page in your head, you're welcome)

Arcana of Gossip Girl Сharacters

Fiverr TikTok

"Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite."

Have you ever wondered which Arcana your favorite Gossip Girl characters embody? I decided to dive into this idea and created the following list. So, let’s explore their Matrix of Destiny charts and uncover the energies that define them!💌

👑Blair Waldorf – Arcana 3 (The Empress)

Blair Waldorf is the perfect embodiment of The Empress, symbolizing power, ambition, and the ability to create and nurture her empire. She thrives in high society, commanding attention and respect through her elegance and strategic mind. Blair's need for control extends not only to her own life but also to those around her. She is a natural leader, shaping relationships, friendships, and even rivalries to fit her vision. Like The Empress, Blair is deeply tied to themes of creation—whether it’s her own success, romantic endeavors, or managing her social circle. Her ultimate challenge lies in balancing her need for dominance with her softer, more vulnerable side.

🕊Serena van der Woodsen – Arcana 2 (The High Priestess)

Serena is a living mystery, embodying the harmonious yet enigmatic energy of The High Priestess. Her magnetic charm and natural beauty draw everyone in, making her the center of attention without even trying. However, her life is often marked by moments of indecision, where her intuition clashes with external influences. The High Priestess represents deep wisdom and hidden knowledge, which mirrors Serena’s ability to see beyond the surface and connect with people on a profound level. Yet, her struggle lies in fully embracing her intuitive power while navigating a world filled with distractions and societal expectations.

🎱Chuck Bass – Arcana 15 (The Devil)

Chuck Bass exudes the raw, magnetic energy of The Devil, symbolizing temptation, material power, and deep inner struggles. His life is intertwined with themes of wealth, passion, and the darker sides of human nature. Chuck often finds himself caught between indulging in his desires and seeking redemption, making his journey one of self-discovery and restraint. His charisma is both alluring and dangerous, capable of drawing people into his world of intrigue. At his core, Chuck’s challenge is to break free from the chains of his past and his vices, learning to use his intensity for personal growth and meaningful connections.

✒️Dan Humphrey – Arcana 9 (The Hermit)

Dan is a classic example of The Hermit, someone who seeks truth, understanding, and self-reflection. While he appears as an outsider in the glamorous world of the Upper East Side, Dan’s introspective nature allows him to observe and analyze this world with clarity. He often isolates himself, preferring his own thoughts and creativity to the superficial drama around him. The Hermit’s light shines brightest when illuminating hidden truths, and Dan embodies this as a writer who exposes secrets and reveals deeper layers of those he interacts with. His journey is one of finding authenticity, both in himself and in the relationships he builds.

💫Nate Archibald – Arcana 6 (The Lovers)

Nate represents the duality and choices embodied by The Lovers. He is constantly caught between following his heart and meeting the expectations placed upon him by his family and society. Nate’s charm and easygoing nature make him a romantic figure, yet his internal struggle often leaves him feeling lost. The Lovers card reflects his journey of learning to make decisions that honor both his responsibilities and his personal desires. Nate’s greatest lesson is discovering how to integrate these parts of himself to create a life of balance and fulfillment.

✂️Jenny Humphrey – Arcana 16 (The Tower)

Jenny’s journey is one of upheaval, rebellion, and transformation, perfectly mirroring the energy of The Tower. Her rise in the social hierarchy is marked by moments of destruction, where she must break away from her roots and old beliefs to carve out her own identity. Jenny’s ambition often leads her into chaotic situations, forcing her to confront the consequences of her actions. The Tower symbolizes her struggle to tear down the structures that no longer serve her, allowing her to rebuild and redefine herself. Ultimately, her journey is one of self-discovery and empowerment.

💎Lily van der Woodsen – Arcana 4 (The Emperor)

Lily embodies the stability, structure, and authority of The Emperor. As the matriarch of her family, she takes charge of creating a solid foundation for her children, even when it means making difficult decisions. Her life is guided by a desire for control and order, often clashing with the chaotic lives of those around her. The Emperor symbolizes her strength and resilience as she navigates personal struggles while maintaining her family’s image and legacy. Lily’s challenge lies in balancing her authoritative nature with emotional openness, ensuring her leadership is both firm and compassionate.

🎸Rufus Humphrey – Arcana 14 (Temperance)

Rufus’s energy is defined by balance, patience, and harmony, reflecting the essence of Temperance. As a father and former musician, he bridges the gap between his creative past and his practical present. Rufus often acts as the grounding force in his family, mediating conflicts and offering wisdom. He seeks to integrate different aspects of his life, finding equilibrium between his dreams and responsibilities. His journey is one of compromise and acceptance, proving that true strength comes from understanding and adapting to life’s complexities.

🎥Vanessa Abrams – Arcana 11 (Strength)

Vanessa’s resilience and courage align with the themes of Strength. She faces numerous challenges, often standing firm in her beliefs despite opposition. Vanessa’s inner strength comes from her ability to remain true to herself and her values, even when it isolates her from others. Like Strength, she uses compassion and determination to overcome obstacles, embodying the idea that true power comes from within. Her journey is one of perseverance, as she continuously fights for her place in a world that doesn’t always understand her.

🪩Georgina Sparks – Arcana 18 (The Moon)

Georgina thrives in the shadows, embodying the mystery and illusion of The Moon. Her manipulative nature and unpredictable actions make her a wild card in any situation. The Moon’s energy reflects her ability to create confusion and intrigue, often leading others astray. Yet, beneath her deceptive exterior lies a depth of emotion and complexity. Georgina’s journey is one of navigating her own illusions and uncovering the truths she hides even from herself. She is a reminder of the power and danger of the unknown.

whatever. go my 500 half finished projects.

[artbyaking]

Old ass covers for some playlists me and my friend made for the reboot characters! Not pictured is the one I started but never finished for Megabyte; who I have realized I hate drawing!

[titan-star]

@malwaresilly

He is being bothered by the Faceless Ones. Titan decided that getting out of the theater and going straight to the playcare to see Malware may be a logical move.

Less stress was good for recovery.

Don't mind the brand new scratches on his face.

Season 1 ReBoot: Christmas at Dot's

(I cannot draw Frisket lol)

[elvastered-blog]

[tasteslikekeys]

Watched some of the ReBoot Rewind doc and was reminded Dot Matrix was definitely an early crush of mine, and someone I haven't drawn in decades. Mouse's design is absolutely bonkers, but I believe she'd flirt with anyone.

Hit an art slump I'm trying to dig out of. This didn't help terribly, but had to get it out of my system. Glitch, mend and defend!

Virtual Character Tourney - Bracket 1 - Round 12

Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)

V Flower propaganda:

they're so cool and purple and they have some of my favorite vocaloid songs

Dot Matrix propaganda:

ReBoot takes place on the Net in CyberSpace and everything is very virtual in a 90s computers-way. Dot is the character I chose to submit because Tumblr loves the ladies.
