so I’m watching See (2019) right now, and the only explanation I’ve got for the virus that wiped out over 6 billion people is that it was either a game of pandemic that got BADLY out of hand, and the player of said game was either Apollo (proposed by a discord friend, due to, and i quote “maybe he just got tired of people ignoring the gift of prophecy and said if you’re not going to listen to futurevision, you’re not gonna have vision at all”, and given he is also the god of plagues, i believe it) or aliens trying to wipe out humanity (a la Masters of Horror’s “The Screwfly Solution”).
Last night, the realization of why Sketchbook (a ship I was pretty indifferent about when I started drawing art for it) grew on me so fast hit me like a truck, but if I were to just say it, you wouldn't understand as well
The way popular media went from “here’s two male characters who have an incredible amount of chemistry and fans ship them but it’s not canon and one or both of them are with women” to “here’s two male characters who have an incredible amount of chemistry and fans ship them and it’s canon but only in the way that one of them has an unrequited love for the other and either pines miserably forever or dies.” Progress right?
Hermitcraft stage musical in the style of Cats (the stage musical not the movie) in which skizzleman (grizzabella analogue) wants very desperately to join the jellicle cats I mean hermits and sings memory and the rest is just the hermits singing and dancing about each other. At the end they nominate him to deactivate his channel or something idk I’ve never watched Cats (the stage musical not the movie)
inspired by a real-life event i was recently reminded of
Life can be so goddamn weird.
That’s Eddie’s opinion anyway.
Like, in 1986 he was a nonconformist metalhead wanted for murder. In 2013, nearly thirty years later, he’s actually kind of excited about a Disney princess movie release.
Again, weird.
The movie is Frozen – people have lost their effing minds over it, or so it seems – and the reason Eddie’s actually kind of excited about it is because he and Steve have three daughters and the last time Disney put out a princess movie, they’d all had a total blast going to see it in the movie theater.
Eddie has high hopes for this one (at a minimum he’s hoping it puts a stop to the endless loop of Tangled’s “I See the Light”, which isn’t a bad song at all, but even the best of songs become hard to hear after the ninety-ninth play).
About a week after the movie came out, he’s watching TV with his youngest daughter, Hazel, when the trailer for Frozen plays during a commercial break.
“You gearing up to go see Frozen, Hazy-Jay?” he asks her.
To which Hazel scrunches up her nose and responds, “No, that’s for babies.”
And Eddie could have died right there in the middle of the living room, because last time he checked Hazel was a baby still. She’s seven! In what world is seven too old to see a Disney movie?
“This is entirely your fault,” Eddie later tells Steve, “You’re the one who said they’re allowed to grow up or whatever.”
“They are,” Steve points out, “You know – she doesn’t actually think Frozen is for babies. It’s just because Moe’s on that whole Disney’s not cool anymore thing, and Hazel thinks she’s the coolest person on the planet, so…”
It’s true that Moe, who’s twelve now, has been on a kick of disavowing all of her little-kid interests ever since she started middle-school. Some of it Eddie hasn’t even minded (in his opinion the less Disney Channel he has to listen to, the better). What he won’t stand for is when it leeches onto her little sisters years before they’re supposed to start outgrowing that stuff.
