On today's episode of I Work In A Comic Shop:

So on Sundays, I run D&D games for kids (ages ranging about 6-16). It's fun, we goof around a lot and I let them get away with most things in-game as long as they can semi-reasonably justify how it'd happen.

And something I do often, when the kids start looking for every single detail about NPC #4534 because they've decided he's Very Very Important™️, is to just stick in a reference to some random movie. (For example: "This townsperson's name is Billiam S. Preston Esquire, and his buddy Teddy Bear Logan is missing! If he doesn't return soon, then Wyld Stallyns will lose their concert gig at the local tavern!") If the kids get it, it's a fun easter egg, and if they don't, then at least I didn't have to come up with a fantasy name on the spot.

My latest adventure involved a battle with a gang of skeletons, after which their scattered bones start wriggling towards the source of the dark magic that animated them in the first place.

And I'm struck with what I consider to be a bit of brilliance.

So, we're playing, and we reach the end of the battle. I explain that the bones are all moving eastwards, and then I add:

"You're reminded of the legend of old, of the great adventurer Hiro and his mighty companion Baymax, who tracked a pack of magical nanobots to their evil master using a single hostage bot."

Now the table erupts in laughter, and I'm feeling pretty good. But then we realize that the youngest of our party (an 8-year-old) looks confused at what's so funny. He doesn't get the reference.

I'm naturally surprised - this is a well-known Disney movie, I figure pretty much all the kids know it. But apparently he hasn't seen it. And so I quickly google the release date of Big Hero Six.

It is 2014. Nine years ago. In other words, the movie is older than this kid. And I am immediately hit by the passage of time like a truck.

Why did Apple only use Macintosh for a computer name. Why are iPhones not called like, Red Delicious or Galas or something. Simplified model marketed to older people called Granny Smith.

Hey y'all, I've got an idea for a spy comedy about a team of aromatics. Can any of my aro friends tell me what you'd like to see in the characters?

Reblogs for a bigger sample size are always appreciated <3

[spinnychaircirclecasting]

hey yeah nimona spoilers ahead okay yeah cool moving on

Okay but can we FUCKING TALK about the way the villagers only love Nimona and see her true worth after she fucking sacrificed herself to save them. How Ballister's efforts to keep her from literally killing herself were basically in vain. There was no way they'd know her superpowers would protect her, hell, no way for HER to know. I saw them making their little shrine and doing their little drawings, and I hate to say it but my first reaction was not "aww yay they learned" but pure RAGE that that's what it took.

Anyways this movie is so good and I am so angry and everybody needs to watch it please.
