Anyway still on my Candace loving train but can we talk about how in Nerds of a Feather Candace is absolutely humiliated and ashamed to be a fan of Ducky Momo because it's a "kids show"
To the point where she straight up lied to both Jeremy and Stacy about where she was that day (something we had never seen her do up until that point and then never see her do again)
And then literally as soon as Jeremy found out and reassured her that he didn't think any less of her
She starts openly talking more about it and her interest in it and the collectibles, to both her friends and her family. And then eventually we get these scenes:
Where Candace's friends actively participate in this thing she enjoys, even if it's not necessarily something they like as much as she does. (Granted I know Vanessa didn't really CHOOSE to be at the movies đ but it still counts)
And they never once make fun of her for it - in fact, no one who she cares about in the show EVER teases her about her enjoyment of the character.
That's all just to say I think it's a really cute way to tell viewers that it's okay to like things that aren't "cool," and that actual friends will happily pursue/discuss your interests with you.
Fanart for @somerandomdudelmao âs comic, Marble Sky! ( hope the tag is okay aha- )
Been meaning to draw fanart for⌠quite awhile- I just kept putting it off and finally found the determination to go for it
Alcor my beloved ( my favorite character honestly )
I can see so many mistakes in this drawing but i think itâs okay enough- I have quite a few sketches/doodles of some other characters that I didnât dub good enough to post-
I do hope to draw more fanart for this comic! I really enjoy reading it and I like showing appreciation through fanart
So, I wrote a Twitter thread on this, but I can elaborate more on tumblr so itâs going here as well.
I woke up after three hours of sleep from watching @swagginmun âs stream up to 2am talking about Season 5 and the new animation studio. Iâm still upset about losing Flying Bark, of course, but i feel better about it now. Part of thatâs just because I got some sleep (even if it was barely any) and part of it was something they said at the very end of the stream.
Closing off the stream, they argued that Season 5 of LMK could be disastrous. Like, jumping from acclaimed movie Prince of Egypt toâŚ.not so acclaimed movie King of Dreams disastrous. Or, this could be like going from Aladdin to itâs straight to DVD sequel, Aladdin and the King of Thieves
If you donât know it, Aladdin and the King of Thieves is the third of the Aladdin âtrilogyâ and tells the story of Aladdin reuniting with his father, the king of the forty thieves, and the two navigating their fraught relationship. Now, swagginmun mentioning this movie was kind of a blast from the past for me. I had Aladdin and KoT on VHS when I was a little kid. And yeah, I loved Aladdin, but I had King of Thieves on LOOP.
I loved the story, I loved the songs, Aladdinâs dad as a character was super interesting, the world building went NUTS-like, LOOK at that turtle island on the box art and tell me that doesnât go crazy.
Yeah, King of Thieves wasnât animated like Aladdin. But that didnât stop baby me from having fun. And yeah, I could argue that my grainy TV from the 70s made every movie look bad, but even watching it as an adult, I still see and appreciate the things Iâd loved as a kid. Shit- the low budget TV animation had some real charm to it, underneath all the grit.
Iâm gonna miss Flying Bark like crazy. Like, so crazy Iâm writing about them as I prepare to graduate. But if the heart of the show carries through-the characters, the humor, the emotional story beats-then itâll be okay that the actionâs stumbling on its feet this time around.
Some kid out there might be confused or upset that the fight scenes arenât as cool as they used to be. But, some kids might be excited to see Sandyâs powers, or Nezhaâs character development, or Red Son Even Being There. And kids are definitely gonna want their questions answered. For some child out there, Season 5 is gonna be their favorite season. And maybe, against all odds, itâll be ours too.
Shut up about the Rise of Jafar I didnât own it on VHS and tf it doesnât exist.
My initial reaction was pretty negative (over dramatically so-) because- i guess I wasnât expecting the change and it caught me off guard?
Anyways Iâve taken a few deep breaths and upon further reflection I think this season is going to be pretty great, the animation isnât bad, just slightly downgraded
The trailer actually isn't that bad I was just shocked but overall it's not awful a bit of a downgraded but it's not bad bad
