I'm well aware that the entire pop cultural memory and image, insofar as it even exists, of Teddy Ruxpin is either "creepy toy in the style of Chucky" or "joke about ridiculous reboots of soulless 80's nostalgia properties" but every few years I'm reminded of how ridiculously wonderful the art in the original books is/was and how weird and interesting the worldbuilding was and I want to go find and scan all of the stuff that's probably in my mom's basement

It's just such a consistently expressive and lovely style of illustration in a really well-realized fantasy world-- like, there absolutely should be a big stupid coffee table art book of everything involved in the creation of this property. In a better world illustrator David High would be a household name and we'd think about Ken Forsse as a Henson-like figure rather than like. A guy who got bankrupted by the laser tag company. I am not convinced that the only reason we don't is because of all the teeth-achingly stupid business decisions made by World Of Wonders (including like. buying out dissident stockholders for millions of dollars and uhhhh not delivering already purchased products to retail stores) followed immediately by the '87 stuck market crash.

Like! Look how ridiculously charming all this is!!! How is this not remembered as a beloved children's fantasy properties!

there’s been something on my mind ever since i saw it and it damn Did something in my brain but I don’t know how to verbalize it. fst spoilers if you care. the old organisms were going to pit friendprogram and waterbottle against each other. either fp was going to befriend waterbottle or waterbottle was going to kill fp. either fp was going to prove they could “function correctly��� by befriending the best killing machine in the lab or they’d be destroyed for being unable to carry out their designed purpose. win-win. and I’m not sure either of them even remember this. this was during the unconscious days im pretty sure. and even now that fp Certainly knows this bc they read the file i doubt it changed how they see waterbottle. even if they know waterbottle still feels like a killing machine. fp knows they don’t want to hurt anyone. they’re not friends. and fp trusts them. runs into the WALLL

I'm not sure if anybody pointed this out already because I haven't been lurking in the ML fandom enough to keep up with discussions but I was just thinking about Gabriel and his villain design throughout the seasons (you know, as one does) and I've noticed how good of a visual parallelism his appearance as a villain has been to how he slowly but steadily lost his way as time went on.

I mean.

The more time passed, the less recognizable he became, didn't he?

In the first design, between the true colour of his skin showing and his face structure still clear and somewhat recognizable (recognizable enough that when the first season was airing and we didn't know his identity most of the fandom was sure that he was Gabriel Agreste) he's still undeniably Gabriel, even under the mask. He's evil and he's basically a terrorist, yes, but he's still doing what he's doing for his family. Kind of. His treatment of Adrien, in this stage, is still somewhat abusive in many aspects but he has some Moments (those rare Good Father Moments™ that he mentioned in the finale).

In the second stage, he's still himself, and nothing much changed beyond the monocle and the edgier suit. Sure, he gives off the impression that maybe he might not be doing all of that just for his wife, but he's sane enough and he still seems to care a bit for Adrien (as long as he doesn't know he's his arch nemesis, superhero of Paris and notorious pain in the neck Chat Noir).

The third stage is brief, and starts right after he steals all the Miraculous from Ladybug. It's obvious at this point that a) he's a lot more ambitious, and also more desperate, and b) he definitely isn't doing this for his wife, and surely not for his son. His skin is inhuman, and his eyes look uncanny; you can still see his grey hair, though, in the same hairstyle he keeps it in as a civilian. He's still there, for now!

However, the interesting part of this is that his design immediately changes at one specific point in the series: when he decides to run after Ladybug instead of using the Rabbit Miraculous to fix his mistakes in a easy, casualty-free way.

At this point, it's obvious that the thought of the wish consumed him so much that he's become obsessed with it. He decided to put it above Natalie's life, above Adrien's freedom and wellbeing. While he never dared to akumatize his own son before, to the point of retracting his butterfly as soon as he noticed that it was Adrien who was upset, and not just some random civilian, from this moment on it stops being his concern. He's ready to do whatever it takes to have his way, no matter the cost. He stops being Gabriel. Now, he's just Monarch.

Literally in the first episode of Fantasy High, I watched an arguement that I had several times with my conservative uncles. It boils down to “According to the main message of your faith, our Divinity accepts everyone who is good of heart and kind - hating people for any reason is antithetical.” Kristen was arguing positive points using her faith as a guide

Which like - im not a christian or religious anymore (raised southern baptists and decided that if God exists he’s cruel) but the immediate writing off of everyone who’s part of a Main Stream Religion as Problematic really pisses me off, ya know?

Like sure, Wolfsong has waterslides and snowball fight and a lot of entertainement during a major holiday and then everyone is trying to figure out how they’re evil ehen they’re just having fun. Hey, my former church (Prestonwood Baptist Church and Benttree Community church in Dallas Texas) i have met so may deeply devout and scripture oriented people who are so incredibly loving and giving that they are leagues above anyone else I know, and for Good Friday they still had a wayer slide cause that shit is fun. Some of the most hateful people I know ALSO use religion as an excuse.

I get that organized Religion can house a lot of hate and evil (im writing my thesis on American Fascism and evangelical faith is a big part) but so many people who are Religious are just good people? Like the basic morals of the Torah+Talmund, the Bible and the Qur’an are really positive? Half the catholic church is socialist?

It just speaks to the religious illiteracy in America. Helio isn’t bad - the racist worshippers who through ‘as above so below’ influence their god ARE bad. Brennan says the Harvestmen are a fringe Minority - newsflash, the KKK is a christian group and the majority of christians reject them and find their message to be a spit in the face to Jesus. Why would it be different in Fantasy High if its supposed to be a commentary? I think Helio chose Kristen because he wanted her to free him from the racist status quo (he was giving her spells for all of freshman year supporting her against Sol up until Spring break if not beyond)
