Nanwum Update: 7524

We’re coming along.   I’d like to get close to 10k today, and I’ve got about eight hours to make that happen, so this is good.  What I’d like to try to do is work ahead for the next three days, and reach 16850 by November 4.   That way, Days 5-30 will require an average word count of about 1667, which is the standard par for a 50k-in-30-days run.  

I probably think about the numbers way more than I should, but I find it reassuring to do the math.    I guess it’s a nice diversion from the words themselves, but I can see how it would be anxiety-inducing for some people.  

Realistically, I would want to continue to work ahead of the par, because that’s always been my strategy for these November things.   What’s weird is that I usually end up doing the opposite for other months with smaller word count goals.  I’ll end up blowing the whole thing off for like two weeks and then rushing to catch up.   So I already have evidence that I could fall behind and catch up, but I just don’t want to take that chance.   I don’t know how much traveling I’ll be doing for Thanksgiving, and a lot could happen between now and then, so I prefer to build an early lead for safety. 

I’ve been using my procrastination time to watch videos on YouTube, mainly videos of people transforming high-end Transformers toys to relaxing music.  Also, I’ve been checking out videos about Ken Penders’ run on Sonic the Hedgehog, but I’m finding it difficult to get a clear picture on his whole deal.  All these video “documentaries” are made by hardcore Sonic fans, so they range from furious “rants” to this sort of fare:

“In the year of our Lord 1993, history was made.  For it was in that year that Archie Comics published the debut issue of the most important character ever... Sonic, the Hedgehog.”

They put a lot of polish and passion into these things, but it’s hard to take them seriously when they’re talking about a cartoon mascot.  I know a lot of 90′s kids are super serious about that SatAm cartoon, and they want justice for Sally Acorn or whatever, but as an outside observer, it’s hard for me to make sense of any of it.  

My best guess is that Penders’ actual run was generally well-received, because he did all this world-building with the characters, and treated it more like some sort of 80′s X-Men book instead of an Archie mag.   But he did a lot of questionable stuff in the run, and he seems to have thought he was bigger than the franchise, because he didn’t want anyone else using characters he created.   So he left the book, then sued Archie and Sega for using his OCs, and he won, because the Archie home office was such a shitshow that they couldn’t produce the legal documents that would have made the case a slam dunk.  

So Penders won control over like 264 Sonic characters, and he’s gone on to do jack shit with them.  I remember hearing about some independent comic he was going to make with Knuckles’ family or whatever, but that was in 2012, and it just never happened.  Meanwhile, the whole case got Sega to actually give a shit about their license agreements, and they finally started making rules about what they wanted their characters to do and not do in these damn comic books.   Archie ended up doing some sort of reboot to satisfy Sega and keep Penders off their back, and then Sega ended up dumping Archie comics for IDW, which probably wasn’t a difficult decision.

I thought the main beef with Penders was that he turned the Sonic comics into an unrecognizable soap opera, but now I’m starting to think that the bigger beef is that some people (moslty) enjoyed that soap opera, and he wrecked the whole thing by suing for control over it.  To my way of thinking, Penders kind of did Sonic a favor, because now you have an IDW comic that reflects what Sega actually wants.  

Actually, this might just be a thing where fans liked what the Archie Era was trying to do, and they blame Penders for ruining any chance of it becoming what they hoped it could be.    I’ve seen X-Men fans crying the blues for decades over this sort of thing, and it reminds me of how Dragon Ball fans want Tien or Yamcha to do more stuff in the show, but no one seems to have any concrete idea of what that should be.   That Tien episode of Super where he has his own dojo got a mixed reception at best. 

Star Wars kind of had the same trouble, where they jettisoned the EU to make the sequel trilogy, and everyone kind of had to choose sides.   Except, Episode IX turned out to be a disappointment for a lot of people, and I think a lot of folks have had to face the fact that the EU and the sequel trilogy both kind of suck?  That’s a bitter pill to swallow. 

I’ve seen a lot of franchises over the years where fans seem to love them mostly for what they could have been, and then something happens to close that window of possibility and they don’t know what to do with that.  I heard there was an effort to get a Sonic movie going that would pay off the cliffhanger of SatAM, and that Ken Penders somehow sabotaged it.   That’s an interesting story, but I have my doubts that anyone running things in 2010 was that interested in picking up an abandoned storyline from 1994.  But for some people, it’s probably more comforting to blame Penders than to admit that this thing they loved never had a chance. 

I’m not saying all this like I’m some genius who figured it all out.  I’m still mad that they stopped making Transformers G1 cartoons after 1987.   I’m also kind of mad that the G1 toy line got kind of shitty as it fizzled out around 1989.  The fact is that you’ve got all these big companies making decisions about these things, and no matter how much these stories may have inspired you, they really were nothing more than elaborate commercials.   Your favorite character will get killed off and forgotten, because of some decision made by a guy who doesn’t even know who they are.   

This is probably why I enjoy writing my own stuff.  It’s not always a picnic, but I like the certainty of it.  It’s my characters and I’m the only one doing the work, and if I screw something up I have no one else to blame.   I should probably get back to that...

Sonic Villains: Sweet or Shite? - Part 2: GERALD

There are some villains I like. And there are some villains I don’t like. But why do I feel about them the way I do? That’s where this comes in.

This is a new mini-series of mine, in which I’ll be going into slightly more detail about my thoughts on the villains in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and why I think they either work well, or fall flat (or somewhere in-between). I’ll be giving my stance on their designs, their personalities, and what they had to show for themselves in the game(s) they featured in. Keep in mind that these are just my own personal thoughts. Whether you agree or disagree, feel free to share your own thoughts and opinions! I don’t bite. :>

Anyhow, for today’s installment, we’ll commence Round 2 by taking a look at the mastermind of Sonic Adventure 2, who got a cap popped in his ass 50 years prior: Professor Gerald Robotnik.

The Gist: Gerald was once a kindhearted scientist who wanted nothing more than to use his genius to help benefit mankind as we know it. Seeking to cure the fatal illness of his granddaughter, Maria, Gerald worked on many ambitious projects, such as constructing the Space Colony A.R.K, working on countless potentially dangerous weapons like the Artificial Chaos units and the Eclipse Cannon, and most famously, creating the Ultimate Lifeform and chest hair enthusiast himself, Shadow the Hedgehog. None of these achievements actually cured Maria, but the professor worked tirelessly in his eternal quest all the same.

Here he is here, looking completely fucking terrifying.

Unfortunately, this quest was tragically cut shot when a bunch of dummies from G.U.N stormed the A.R.K. in an effort to shut down all of Gerald's projects. In addition to the professor's own arrest, it also led to the death of his beloved granddaughter. When he found out about the casualty... well, he didn't take it all that well, because the revelation transformed him overnight into a mad fucknugget.

At some point before his execution at the hands of G.U.N, he reprogrammed the A.R.K. itself to collide with the planet should all seven Chaos Emeralds be inserted into the Eclipse Cannon, as a final middle finger to the human race who took everything away from him. He also reprogrammed Shadow to carry out the hunt for the emeralds, to ensure his revenge would go off without a hitch in spite of the somewhat annoying obstacle of being dead. While Shadow would indeed go on to carry out Gerald's plot 50 years later upon his release, courtesy of one Dr. Eggman, an attack of conscience through a talk with Amy Rose convinced him to turn against his creator's corrupt intentions at the most vital moment, going so far as to help Sonic take down the professor's repurposed guard dog - the Biolizard - and seemingly sacrificing himself in the process.

Though Gerald’s pre-insanity days would be delved into more come Shadow’s own spinoff (although making a deal with an obviously evil alien makes one question if he was already crazy from the beginning), his villainous spin is still remembered with dread by the world he once loved. And no one remembers it more vividly than the one who nearly carried it all out. The one who Gerald looked at as a son.

“NOW can I use a better font?”

The Design: There’s a bit of an inconvenience here, because whereas there was a lot to cover with the many designs for Chaos, there's significantly less to speak of with Gerald's design. He’s essentially just a grey-haired (grey-whiskered?), slightly slimmer version of his grandson.

“Eggman? No. I’m my own original character... Deadman.”

In fairness though, with the way this particular antagonist works, it was never really about the physical appearance in the first place.

The Personality: ...There's not really a lot to say here either, since we've only seen a few moments with him due to his status as a posthumous character. He was a decent, altruistic man, only to turn crazy and vengeful when Maria got bumped off. That about covers it, really.

“I know that human beings and anthropomorphic killing machines can co-exist peacefully.”

The Execution: Now this is where the meat lies with Gerald. But I have to say, my thoughts on the professor overall are very prominently... grey.

On one hand, he's sympathetic enough as a character. The premise of a once pleasant man carrying out his vengeance from beyond the grave is certainly an interesting one, and his voice actor did a really good job with conveying his spiral into tragic insanity (even if it's slightly harder to take seriously when you remember it's the same guy who voiced Vector the Crocodile in Sonic Heroes).

On the other hand, while I don't think the basic concept with Gerald is too out-of-reach for a Sonic game, I do think there are certain elements involving him that go a bit too far and dip it into pretentious territory when you remember what franchise this is supposed to be. Much like Maria getting shot to death by the military, I feel that the recorded footage of Gerald's to-be-execution is a misguided result of being gritty for gritty's own sake.

Can Sonic lend itself to darker moments? Sure it can! But it needs to do those moments right, in a way that works with this franchise, rather than work against it. Moments like Gerald's pre-execution footage don’t mesh well, and make it all too easy to forget that I’m playing a Sonic game at all.

Can you tell I don’t have a lot of photos to work with for this guy?

His plan isn't without problems either. While not to the same degree as Mephiles certain other villains who I’ll cover at a later date, Gerald's evil scheme nonetheless has a few loopholes, the most infamous one being: Where did he get the time to do all this?

In order to have been able to program Shadow's servitude and the A.R.K's collision in the first place, he had to have had access to them. That's obvious enough, but here’s the thing: Gerald spent his captivity in Prison Island, which you can tell because his cell is the same one that Sonic was trapped in earlier on in the game. You COULD make an argument as to how he accessed Shadow at least, since the Ultimate Lifeform was sealed away in Prison Island as well, but here's where it gets even trickier: He couldn't have went insane until after his capture and imprisonment, because his arrest happened during the G.U.N. raid, the same event that resulted in Maria's death to begin with, and very little time would have logically passed between that and the professor being taken into custody.

So with what the narrative gives us to work with, either Gerald somehow had access to Shadow and the A.R.K. during his captivity, meaning G.U.N. are extremely incompetent and careless... or he already reprogrammed them before the raid even happened and thus when he had absolutely no reason to do such a thing. (Maybe he did it for a cheeky laugh...?)

“Only through the power of Windows Movie Maker can I make my vengeance manifest.”

Speaking of Shadow, Gerald's manipulation of him to destroy the world in Maria's name kind of falls apart when you remember that Shadow's flashbacks of Maria presented the latter as the kindhearted girl she really was. Maria marked the core of Shadow's own tragedy and subsequent low opinion on humanity, and yet nothing about her presentation in said flashbacks indicated that she would have wanted him to destroy the planet and kill everyone. Gerald clearly altered Shadow’s memories by inserting his own misanthropy and vengeance into his creation, so why did he leave his memories of Maria completely unscathed? 

This is even part of what causes Shadow to eventually change his ways in the first place. And yet, despite the story itself insisting otherwise, it's not like knowing Maria's real ideals was a game changer for Shadow. He already remembered what Maria was truly like.

“Shite, I guess.”

And finally, there's his relationship with his grandson, Eggman. Or more accurately, Eggman's relationship with him. Either way, I feel as conflicted about it as I do with Gerald himself.

We find out that Eggman considers his dead grandfather to be an even bigger genius than he is, even long after the latter's demise. I don't want to make this all about Eggman, since this post is meant to be about Gerald (don't worry though, the doctor will get his time in the sun soon enough, just you wait), but I always had a problem with this, because I feel it undermines Eggman’s own status when you really think about it, and while I can appreciate the attempt to give Eggman some depth and backstory expansion, I don't think this angle works out for Eggman specifically. Why? Because for a character who was - and still is - loud, proud, and insistent on how he is the best scientist there ever was and ever will be, the sudden revelation that he thinks his grandaddy was better than him honestly feels like a betrayal of the character in a way. If he respected his grandad's genius and maybe got inspired by him when he was a young lad, but still considered himself the biggest genius when he grew up into the man he is today, that would have felt more characteristic of him in my honest opinion.

“So just for clarity’s sake, when I say I’m the greatest scientific genius in the world, I’m actually saying I’m not the greatest scientific genius in the world.”

So yeah. Overall, my thoughts on Gerald are mixed. Decent concept, good acting, and I actually do like the character to an extent, but there's a lot working against him that make me unable to consider him a full winner. Also, he and Shadow fucked Eggman over massively. The game that many consider to be Eggman’s finest moment, and they pull the rug out from underneath him and reveal he was a clueless pawn the whole time.

I’m slightly bitter about that.

Just slightly.

Ever so slightly.

Crusher Gives Gerald a: Thumbs Sideways!

Most Hilarious Post From @uiruu

I got this quote from @uiruu who tried to put me in their watch list; which just proves my point about Leftists being totalitarian in nature.

Here is what they said:

“i just found the best blog in the universe, @firebirdtransam68. they said that neonazis are leftists, that imperialism is a leftist trademark, and then they blocked me. all the posts on their blog are fucking golden and i wish i could reblog them though… theyre far too long to screenshot… please PLEASE for the love of GOD read this post about what this person wants to see more of on tumblr: https://firebirdtransam68.tumblr.com/post/186215177878/what-i-want-to-see-more-on-tumblr”

“Best blog in the universe,” huh?  You say it in a really sarcastic way; as if your blog is superior than other blogs.  Well, my blog is not superior, either.  My belief is that Fascists, Nazis, Communists, and Marxists are all Leftists, and you are fine to disagree with me, but don’t pester me for having a completely different opinion; that’s makes you just as bad as the “Nazis” you claim to be against.  Also, I blocked you because you kept harassing me for sticking to my beliefs.  That sounds really immature and intolerant.

“some standout excerpts are:

'Fictional landscapes created by users”

Well, yes, I do like landscapes, but mostly fantastical and extraterrestrial landscapes.

“Extraterrestrial content”

I do like extraterrestrials, too.

“Hybrid/crossbreed animals, werebeasts, alien skunks”

I am not a big fan of them; this came from a list of what I want to see more content of, since many things I see in mainstream media are overrated, and many other factors are left out.  I want as much underrated content to be recognized as possible.

“Cars from 1967-1988″

Especially cars from the 1980′s (particularly 1982).

“Mpreg and fempreg (her*******ites, transgender, reverse reproduction, magic, alternate dimension, etc)”

Hey, this is relating to fanfiction that I take interest in sometimes.  I see Shadow mpreg, and it makes sense since he is the Ultimate Lifeform genetically engineered by a scientist.  And hermaphrodite is not a bad word; stop treating it like it is.  It is just a description of someone with two sex organs.  If you want to see bad words, refer to a racial slur common for Black people.

“Conflicts regarding the LGBTQ+ community (gay conservatives, march vs morality, discrimination based on political party,”

You really got to stop discriminating against people based on political party, including LGBTQ+ people.  To say that there are no conservative, Republican, or libertarian LGBTQ+ people, and only Democrats only makes you more homophobic than the Right-wingers you hate.

“Statements and opinions about the 1980s”

I like the 1980′s.  It is all right if you don’t, but you should respect that people have a different opinion than you do, and you can’t really change that.

“Synthwave”

Because it is relating to the 1980′s.

“Any direct-to-video film”

I do not care for direct-to-video films.  Just because I mention something that needs more recognition does not mean I like them (or hate them).

“Star Trek franchise”

My father is a bigger fan of Star Trek than I am.  I only like it for its extraterrestrial content.

“Older Garfield comic strips before 2006″

I used to like Garfield; not anymore.

“and of course…. the entire subsections for content related to Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers, and the videogame Spore”

Because I like these works.  I don’t see any problem with that.

“i hope this person gets what they want and gets to follow lots of blogs that deliver on all these great topics that they want to see content about. maybe it’ll keep them from giving their opinions about whether or not Nazis are leftists”

I am put in your watchdog list because I have a different opinion than you do?  <sarcasm> Oh, have mercy!  I am too young to die!  Please, spare me, my leige! <sarcasm>.

Tough luck, buddy; I will express my opinions without any shame whatsoever; and if you don’t like it, that is too bad.  You could have moved on to something else, but you want to search for people with different opinions than you do, so you can shame them, threaten them, or even lie about them.  Now that is what I call totalitarian intents that are intolerant, and proves my point about the Left.

You say that I am a bully, but I see you are bullying others so you can get them in trouble.  And why did you even bother replying to my comment to someone else?  And then messaging me, which seems to be more like trolling?  You are becoming part of the problem, rather than the solution, for doing that.  You are becoming the example of a typical Leftist.  You are more totalitarian than individualistic for pestering other people who are just minding their own business.  You don’t follow the “live and let live” motto; you go against it.

And good luck trying to demonize me for being a free-thinking individual.  Many people with common sense will know you are not someone to be taken seriously.

~~May 3, 2014~~ 

Stitch (also known as Experiment 626) is a fictional character in the Lilo & Stitch film series and television series. Originally created to cause chaos across the galaxy, he is marked by his mischievous behavior, traits that endear him to his friend Lilo (who adopted him as her puppy dog).

He is voiced by his creator and the film’s co-director, Chris Sanders.

~~Appearance~~

Stitch is a blue, koala-like, alien genetic creation standing around 3 feet tall. He is referred to as a dog throughout much of the franchise, and was thought in the beginning by Lilo to be a collie hit by a car, and Nani thought it was a koala of a sort before they found out he was a genetic experiment.

He has a limited ability to change his physical appearance, as he can retract a second set of arms, his claws, his antennae and the three spikes on his back into his body.

Stitch First appearance Lilo & Stitch (2002) Created by Chris Sanders Voiced by Chris Sanders (all except anime) Ben Diskin (English version of anime) Aliases Experiment 626, an Earth dog, ‘Kenny’, ‘Mutant Koala’, ‘Rabid hedgehog’, ‘little blue wrecking ball’, ‘little monster’

~~History~~

As revealed in Lilo & Stitch, Stitch was created by “evil genius” Dr. Jumba Jookiba, who called him “Experiment 626”. Both Jumba and Stitch were captured and put on trial by the United Galactic Federation.

626 is then sentenced by the Grand Councilwoman to life imprisonment on a desert asteroid and Captain Gantu (who despises him) escorts him. Stitch escapes and crash-lands in Kaua’i, Hawaii. Disguising himself as a dog to hide from his captors, 626 was adopted by a little girl named Lilo, who names him “Stitch”.

Stitch is trained by Lilo to be good, using Elvis Presley as a model for his behavior. Lilo’s efforts prove to be fruitless at first, as Stitch is unable to suppress his destructive programming. Nevertheless, Lilo enjoys having Stitch as her new “puppy”. Although at first he only wanted to use her as a human shield from Jumba and Agent Pleakley, whose mission was to capture him, Stitch slowly develops feelings for Lilo, to the point where he saves her from Gantu.

After his heroics, the Grand Councilwoman allows Stitch to serve his exile on Earth with Lilo as his warder, citing her dog adoption certificate (subsequently, Lilo seems to have become not only a best friend but also a sister figure to Stitch).

~~Abilities and weaknesses~~

While explaining his creation to the Galactic Council early on in Lilo & Stitch, Dr. Jumba gives the following rundown of Stitch’s powers:

“He is bulletproof, fireproof, and can think faster than super computer. He can see in the dark and can move objects 3,000 times his size. His only instinct — to destroy everything he touches!”

In the original Lilo & Stitch film, Jumba claimed that Stitch’s “destructive tendency was taking effect and that he would be irresistibly drawn to large cities to “back up sewers, reverse street signs, and steal everyone’s left shoe.” This is shown in Lilo & Stitch: The Series episode 10, where Lilo and Stitch are watching Keoni skateboard, then Stitch looks in Keoni’s rucksac and eats Keoni’s shoe, Keoni replies by saying “Hey, my shoes!” in which Lilo says, “He only eats the left ones!”

While Stitch is never seen shot by a bullet, he can endure being shot by plasma projectiles. He can even catch them in his hands before throwing it back to the shooter, as shown in the original film and Stitch! The Movie. Stitch was shown to be hit by one in the episode “Finder” when Hamsterviel, armed with a self-made plasma cannon, shot him with it, which only made Stitch unconscious (it is assumed that plasma projectiles are deadly to humans as Lilo occasionally is almost shot by one in the franchise).

As he dodges all other plasma projectiles, Jumba did claim that Stitch being hit by one would stun him long enough to be defeated by a foe. He did survive the crash of his spaceship with only a scratch, is only briefly stunned by a fall of several thousand feet, and has to be run over by three tractor-trailers in succession to be knocked out. As for fireproof, in the original film he does drive a tanker truck full of gasoline into a volcano and in the ensuing explosion he is propelled into the air, a move he uses to strike at Gantu’s spaceship to thwart his capture of Lilo.

Thinking faster than a super computer is harder to quantify, but he does escape from captivity fairly ingeniously, builds a model of San Francisco after only glancing at Earth vs. the Spider; grabs a crossword puzzle from the table and finishes it in about 8 seconds; is often seen solving complex mathematic equations; builds a bomb out of a plasma bolt, a doll and a roller skate; builds a “bucking bronco” out of a toaster, a vacuum cleaner, and a lamp; a DNA double helix from only coconuts, hollow sticks and a turntable; is able to understand he can use a human as a shield from Jumba, by Pleakly’s presence; and generally picks up quickly on what is happening around him. He is also fluent in playing the ukulele and driving any sort of vehicle, which can be as simple as riding a tricycle or as complex as piloting inter-galactic spaceships.

His ability to lift objects 3,000 times his own size and weight is seen several times throughout the franchise, including incidents where he picks up a descending blast door, hits Dr. Jumba with a thrown Volkswagen Beetle (shouting gleefully, “blue punch buggy! No punch back!“) and stops an oil tanker. This ability is sometimes joked about in the later series; for example, in Stitch! The Movie, Hämsterviel, while physically restraining Stitch for a cloning experiment, counters Stitch’s strength with restraint devices, that are equal in strength themselves, as Hämsterviel loudly declares, to 3,001 times Stitch’s own weight. Another such example of the limitation of such strength was during Lilo and Stitch: The Series, where Stitch showed his strength off on a television show by holding up two bulldozers on a platform only to have it come crashing down on him when Gantu lets loose a piece of paper which attaches itself to one of the bulldozer, stating he can hold up three thousand times his weight, but not an ounce more.

Pads on Stitch’s hands and feet can secrete a sticky substance allowing him to adhere to almost any surface and scale buildings and walls. His skeletal system is very flexible, allowing him to put his feet into his mouth and become a rolling ball and also to allow him to squeeze through tight spaces. Stitch’s legs are small, but powerful enough to enable him to jump several feet into the air. His eyes can pick up various forms of light and he can filter out one or the other if necessary.

Stitch can see in normal vision (during this mode, his eyes appear black in color), night vision (which is green), infrared (red) and X-ray (bright green). Furthermore, he also can magnify his vision. He also can act as an audio amplifier, radio and/or microphone, illustrated when he uses a finger as the needle on a record player, and the music comes out of his open mouth. He has an acute sense of smell and hearing and is also dexterously skilled in hand-to-hand combat, using all four arms or just two.

Stitch can also be noted for his immortality. Although the Lilo & Stitch franchise is set in the current year, he is shown to have no signs of aging as seen in the episode “Skip” for 10–20 years, much to his chagrin (although suggested by an aged Lilo to grow a goatee to make him look older).

Stitch is proven to be ticklish in Lilo and Stitch: The Series.

In Shortstuff stitch is tickled by a ray used to make him bigger.

Stitch’s greatest weakness is his inability to float or swim due to his dense molecular structure, which causes him to sink in water. Another weakness is the fact that his super-sensitive hearing can lead to temporary deafness when exposed to sonic blasts. Stitch originally had an instinctive aquaphobia, but was able to overcome it because of Lilo. In episode 6 of Lilo & Stitch The Series, experiment 300 was activated, which Lilo nicknamed Spooky, it has the ability to transform into people’s worst fear, for Stitch it transformed into water, until Lilo showed Stitch her coping mechanism for when she gets scared, which is how Stitch was able to save her later in the episode.

Lilo’s coping mechanism is singing the chorus of ‘Aloha ‘oe.’ Another of Stitch’s weaknesses, as mentioned earlier, is that he cannot lift things over 3000 times his size and weight.
