#all posts should be about danny devito

[sammysdewysensitiveeyes]

I gotta laugh at posts calling someone a short king, when the actor is around 5′9′‘.  That’s like....average height for guys in the US.  Come back to me when you’re talking about Danny Devito.

#all posts should be about danny devito #he is beyond short king he is short galactic emperor

Wait, you've been a Sunny fan for 8 years?! You've got to tell us how it's been in that time!!! What's the vibe been like here in that time and how has it changed? What were the big fan theories? Was r/iasip always such a hellhole dumpsterfire? What are the big things from the fandom back in the day that we don't know about but should?

Ooooh lets see what I remember-

Charlie reigned supreme- like really and truly so many blogs and so, so much content was Charlie Charlie Charlie, everyday, all the time and I mean he still is insanely popular but definitely back in the day Charlie in the show and of the cast was easily the most popular, like it felt like 7/10 posts were about him. Glenn was next in line but I do distinctly remember Kaitlin and Rob didn't have as much content about them, at a certain point I kinda was the Kaitlin Olson tag, that's not me being up myself I just used to be in her tag constantly and it'd be a lot of posts in a row of just me- the girls of the series def didnt always get the love they should and I'm not really sure that's changed much ☠ But yeah this was also around the time that everyone was also going gaga about Pacific Rim so that def made Charlie even more popular too.

Macdennis has always, always been a popular pairing but their popularity 100% has skyrocketed the past few years, and I mean SKYROCKETED. Like they're on par with some wildly popular mlm ships nowadays and it's lowkey so funny to see em in the ring with like. destiel 😂 now when I go in the tag it seems half the posts feature mac and dennis, which is notable to me bc Mac especially was kinda... Unloved is not the right way to phrase it bc fans have always loved him but Rob/Mac def didn't get /as/ much love back in the day. Like people often spoke of him as the weakest character but after season 13 I think he's gained more appreciation.

Fans have def gotten much bigger on theories and stuff these days, I'm sure they had em back then too but it wasn't as prevalent and none particularly stand out, it was usually just the "X characters are secretly sleeping together" type beat. I also remember a popular theory that everyone was going to die in the inevitable series finale but then the show never got cancelled and I dont know what that was about?

Reddit has always been messy and there def was a pretty big us vs them type vibe between sunny fans back then- though it was less reddit vs tumblr and more "straight dude bros" vs everyone else like I remember so many posts being like "Ugh straight dude bros don't get the show" I probably made some of those posts 😂 Lots of "Mac isn't actually gay" too which is very, very funny in hindsight- No one ever thought they'd canonize his sexuality.

Ummm... Probably the most notable thing to me tho is seeing how popular the cast has become, like 8 years ago Danny was the only "Big name" Like the media absolutely spoke of the show as these no name people and Danny Devito. I mean that was not totally the case for Charlie, he was becoming more and more popular and gaining traction in the mainstream with pacific rim and the likes but with Glenn, Kaitlin and Rob they were definitely not super well known outside Big always sunny fans so seeing them go from that to Rob being besties with Ryan Reynolds and stuff has honestly been super interesting and funny. Like I remember posting rob and kaitlins wedding pictures and getting so many people going WAIT THEYRE MARRIED?? it was hilarious to see the transition.

Yeah those are probably the biggest changes I can think of- it's gotten more popular which explains most of it, shipping has def become a much bigger thing as well, ships were pretty chill back then, there wasn't too much fic or art so thats different now :)

OH BUT ART! There's always been wonderful fan artists but nowadays wowee!! some amazing art for the series, like much more abundant! That's the gist of it :)

#Also back in the day the cast like on twitter and insta would respond A LOT #like Mary elizabeth ellis retweeted art I did of her #so did Kaitlin more than once #Kaitlin also commented on my insta posts back in the day which was sweet #Rob accidentally followed me on twitter one time after replying to me which was funny as shit bc i was like ROB MCELHENNEYS FOLLOWING ME??? #and then he wasnt </3 how could you rob </3 #Charlie never fuckall used social media and that hasnt changed #also some of them had random defunct social media accounts where i posted pics from #sometimes people still reblog like Hm wonder where these pics are from and im like #probably one of my old myspace or fanpop or photobucket expeditions #god theres some scandals i remember from back then but i wont bring those up 😂 #Yeah honestly mostly it changed from Charlie all the time to Charlie a lot of the time #the other cast members have gotten more successful and popular #and shipping is more prevalent #anyway THIS IS LONG SORRY #thank you for the ask tho was fun to reminisce <3 #askj

sex denialism - should we fear it?

a specter is haunting the public sphere - the specter of sex denialism.

if you’ve been keeping up with the kardashians - or just with what’s been going on in the media lately - you may have stumbled upon a brand new term: “sex denialism”. some people love it, some hate it, some are afraid of it - and it seems to have caused quite the outrage in the scientific community - but you may be wondering to yourself: what is “sex denialism” even about?

well, if you’re looking for an explanation, look no further! this brand new hot-button issue revolves around a question that, on its face, seems quite simple: do people have sex or do they not? as you will see, however, answering this question has proven rather complicated.

it’s in our favorite tv shows, on the billboards we drive by, even in our children’s textbooks - but is sex really real? prompted by a dec 1 post on e. musk’s infamous platform, twitter, which called the phenomenon into question, people around the world have been discussing the possibility of sex being all just a great big lie - an adult fairytale, if you will.

the tweet was controversial, gaining many supporters as well as many opponents. it was retweeted by public figures as prominent as stephen king - though his stance on the topic remains unclear. there were also many dissenting voices, with people allegedly flooding the original poster’s inbox with insults (namely “virgin”) but also deep, thought-provoking questions like “if sex isn’t real, how were you born?”

we have asked experts to weigh in on the matter. richard goberpober, a biology professor at the university of milwaukee, assured us that “sex is definitely real. it is the only way some organisms, like humans, can reproduce”, and “look, i’m not saying everyone has a lot of it, but our species would go extinct without it.” however, there doesn’t seem to be a clear consensus on the matter in the scientific community. robert albert, a geologist who has dedicated the better part of his life to the study of magic crystals, went on record saying “when you really think about it, sex [...] is nothing more than another instrument in the hands of the feminists, who seek to establish matriarchy by using the promise [of sex] against us. in all my 45 years of life, i’ve [...] never seen it happen.”

the celebrity community is equally split on the issue. for example, a day after the twitter “sex-astrophe”, danny devito came out to confirm that “[he] love[s] sex”, further claiming, “i have it every day. just ask my wife.” despite not being asked to comment on the situation, former president d. trump took to his social media platform, truthsocial, on dec 3, to express his opinion. in the post, he wrote: “the democrats are now claiming that #sex is not real. of course sex is real. i have sex every day. and it is good sex. the very best in the world.”

we have reached out to millionaire taylor swift for comment on the issue. “sex? i have never seen hole,” she responded evasively, then added, “and stop asking me about it, or my lawyer will be in touch.” we have also reached out to stephen king on twitter, however, he declined to comment.

much to the shock of his fans, sex education star ncuti gatwa came out in support of the controversial tweet in his new interview for teen vogue. while the show he has previously starred in promotes the idea that sex exists, he is apparently of the opposite opinion. “even my parents told me about it, but i’ve come to realize that it’s probably not real,” he claimed, further insinuating that, “it could be a lot like santa, you know, or the tooth fairy. except grown adults believe in this stuff.” when pressed on why exactly he believes sex is not real, he explained, “a lot of people think i have, but i’ve actually never had it. it just... doesn’t seem natural. i mean, i use mine to urinate. and you’re telling me i should be putting it in some sort of vortex? what if it gets lost in there?” the interviewer has since commented that gatwa appeared distraught by the possibility. when asked whether he would continue to star in the popular show, he declined to answer.

ultimately, this topic has proven to be quite divisive, splitting society into two different camps: sex believers and sex deniers. which one are you?

The Ad Bowl

It didn’t take long for all of the ad critics to hop on the same bandwagon, each ranking the ads we saw during the Super Bowl last night. And, as you might expect, opinions varied considerably, often depending on if you like Beyoncé or J-Lo, Usher, and Schwarzenegger. I won’t belabor you with links to all of them. Just Google “memorable Super Bowl ads,” and you will find them all in a flash.

But they are all memorable in their own way, if only because each 30-second ad cost $7 million. Team Jesus even returned. OK, maybe I shouldn’t be quite so critical. It was from the He Gets Us people, and I found their full one-minute ad to be exceedingly well done. The Footwashing theme was powerful. It’s just that I have very mixed feelings about churches and related organizations spending so much on marketing and buildings, when there is so much work to be done.

But that’s just me. You decide.

I liked the Michelob Ultra ad (which actually debuted about two weeks ago) featuring Lionel Messi, the rock star soccer player now calling Miami his professional home. I may not be a fan of that beer, but I enjoyed the ad. Well-played.

And then there was that amazing ad for Dunkin. Remember, they haven’t been Dunkin Donuts for a few years now, but people still call them that. Dunkin is owned by Inspire Brands, the folks who own Arby’s, Sonic, Jimmy Johns, Buffalo Wild Wings, and others. This was a bold move, and the number of A-listers in it (Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and J-Lo) either sent this over-budget, or Inspire has deeper pockets than I realized. Given that they appeared in last year’s game as well, maybe those fast food pockets do run deep.

Beyoncé hit a home run for Verizon, which played its cards well leading up to an announcement of her new music. In the ad, she tries to break the internet, and parodied a presidential run. Also appearing in the ad was Buster from one of my favorite shows, Arrested Development.

Post Malone in the Bud Light ad was rocking, using one of the most over-used songs ever in movie and advertising history. Good grief, Steppenwolf has been receiving performance royalties for Magic Carpet Ride since 1968, along with another of their signature hits, Born To Be Wild. What remains to be seen is if Bud Light can recapture some of its former glory.

And while the critics didn’t actually like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in the State Farm ad, this old Boomer found it funny. I know. State Farm used an old trope, that being foreign accents, and Schwarzenegger’s repeated mispronunciation of “Nay-Bah” was probably used once more than it should have been before it got old. Still, it was a nice shout out to older viewers who remember him well.

I could go on, but it’s time for me to invite my students to have a go. Post your faves in the Comments, as well as YouTube links so we all can watch. And collectively, we will put about $350 million on display, and maybe more, since the game went into OT.

Saw your post about It’s Always Sunny,

I’ve always wanted to get into it! Do you have a season/episode recommendation where I should start?

The first season was kinda hard for me to stick with, especially episode one

i am saying this with all the kindness in my heart possible: i honestly don't think the show is for you if s1 was a struggle to get through. like s1 is definitely rougher than the others but it will basically always stay like that to some extent

that said I do genuinely think going in order is the best, because s2 is where frank (danny devito) gets introduced and immediately the dynamic between the characters evolves. unfortunately, while always sunny is mostly a "jump in anywhere" show, it does very much have an ongoing continuity so some things are not going to make much sense without that. (like you Could start at season 5 but there's no good reason to and I frankly wouldn't recommend it)

...and also im not that far and there are like 13(?) or more seasons so I am not a great person to ask about this when I'm doing it completely and chronologically no matter what

idk. i would recommend finishing s1 and if the character dynamic change in s2 doesn't make you want to keep going i do not think it's necessarily a show for you

#as stated though i am a completionist and if i start something i will watch/play literally all of it. so im...a bad person to ask #asks #droidgum #(hope this was okay to post publicly lmk if it was not)

'Finding Alice' star Sharon Rooney on silencing the social media bullies and why her granny was her greatest inspiration (Sunday Post, 17.1.21)

'...Fire up social media on your phone and within moments you’re free to interact with a world full of people. Holiday photos from your cousin in New Zealand? Click like!

Your pal’s video of a Yorkshire terrier that sounds like Brian Blessed? Hit retweet! Don’t like the way someone looks? Tell them to lose some weight!

Hang on, that last one is probably a bit rude. You wouldn’t wander up to a stranger in the street and casually advise them to give the sweeties a miss, not unless you were desperately craving a sore face.

Yet that kindly advice is precisely what someone like Sharon Rooney is offered when she logs into sites such as Instagram.

Sharon, who starred in Disney’s recent live action Dumbo remake, E4’s My Mad Fat Diary and hit sitcom Two Doors Down has endured her fair share of trolling.

“It’s the unsolicited medical advice I enjoy,” she laughed. “Telling me not to eat jellybeans. Thanks!

“I learned quite quickly people will pick apart anything. They will find something. Even if I was five sizes smaller, someone will tell me I looked better before. You’ll never please everyone.

“There’s a lovely mute button now. If someone writes something rude I just quietly say ‘Shhh’ to them.

“With My Mad Fat Diary I’m already saying, ‘Hello, I am fat human’. What can they say?

“I have eyes, I know what I look like and I’m fine with that. Sorry if you’re not. I’m doing OK, so please don’t worry about me.”

(© Carlo Paloni/BAFTA/Shutterstock)

Sharon, 32, is doing more than OK though, which you’ll see if you tune into new ITV drama Finding Alice tonight.

She stars opposite Keeley Hawes and it’s a role that saw Sharon cross the Bodyguard star’s name off a special list.

“I’ll let you into a secret. Every actor has a dream list of people they’d love to work with and Keeley was on mine,” she said.

“I told Keeley. She just rolled her eyes and told me to shut up.

“Why would you not want to work with her? She’s fantastic in everything she does.

“Keeley’s everything I thought she would be. Whe’s one of a kind. A special human being. Look, Keeley’s not paying me to say this! Maybe she should…?”

Praising a colleague is, of course, second nature to an actor. There’s a reason they call them luvvies; plus you don’t want to end up working with someone you’ve bad-mouthed on a project in a year’s time, do you?

This isn’t merely empty platitudes for a thespian pal. Sharon’s praise is warm, generous and genuine. It’s how she herself comes across, along with a dash of wry humour.

Perhaps it’s the influence of her late granny, who Sharon describes as her soulmate.

“This sounds so cheesy but she truly was,” she added. “You know you get one human who you just chime with? I just loved her. We were two old souls.

“She taught me so much. I think grannies have that magic where they teach you to deal with life after they’re gone. I just enjoyed every minute I had with her.”

The pain and sadness we’ve all experienced over the past year, along with the forced holiday she’s had to take with being locked down, has let Sharon think about the grief she felt when her gran died.

“Even if you’re preparing for a death I don’t think it’s any easier than if it’s unexpected,” she said.

“When it is unexpected, like the way Harry dies in Finding Alice, you’re left reeling from it for so long before you can take in what’s happened.

“With Nicola, the character I play, the initial shock has happened. Her big brother has died. So how do you move forward? Grief itself is such a complicated thing. There’s no guide book. When you feel sad, you feel sad.

“Grief sneaks up on you. You think you’re fine then it appears with a ‘Hiya!’

“I still get it. I’ll think I can’t wait to show my gran something before going, ‘Oh yeah’.

“My gran spoke about it before she died. We were talking about how thinking of someone after they’ve died is like ringing a bell for them.

“She said, ‘Don’t think of me too much, hen – I’ll get no rest.’”

(Sharon Rooney as Miss Atlantis with co-star DeObia Oparei in Tim Burton’s Dumbo)

Happily, Sharon brought her sardonic and garrulous Glaswegian spirit to the set of Dumbo, in which Sharon appeared alongside Hollywood legend Danny DeVito.

“You forget they’re still humans, which is easy to do when you’re standing in front of Danny DeVito. All I could think was that this was Danny DeVito. Has anyone told him?

“You just talk on set. Gab, gab, gab. That’s all we did. I was shouting over to Tim to ask for two minutes so Danny could finish his story.

“That’s Tim Burton, by the way. Listen to me, I just call him Tim now.”

Casting for a Disney blockbuster like Dumbo was straightforward, although it did come with an ironclad ban from telling her friends about the project until it was announced.

My Mad Fat Diary focused on the plus-sized character Sharon played but, since then, the roles she’s taken don’t normally specify anything about her character’s weight.

“A lot of parts I go for don’t say the character must be plus-size or look a certain way,” she said.

“I’ve only been doing this for eight years or so but for me it’s never been an issue but I know for some it has been.

“It’s about owning who you are. I realise that’s difficult because of social media. What I try to do is take jobs with people who are authentic characters.

“If it does specify a plus-size actor then my response is to ask why. Let’s investigate this.

“These days – well, before the pandemic – I would go to auditions and the room would be filled with so many different people, which I love. The room isn’t filled with girls who all look the same.

“And I love seeing a role that I didn’t get go to someone completely different to me. Well, I don’t love it because then I’ve not got the role, but it’s still nice to see.”

(The cast of Finding Alice © Joss Barratt)

A closeness with her other granny (the pair are bubbled up) has developed during the lockdowns of the past year, from which Sharon has taken heart.

Other than that she’s been enjoying her break ahead of Finding Alice’s release, as well as browsing social media.

Although these days she’s a lot wiser in how she does it; retaining the enjoyment with the help of that handy mute button.

“I used to follow every celebrity and every celebrity magazine,” added Sharon. “But it just made me doubt myself. I’d go to post a video then I’d wonder if I should put more make-up on first.

“I’ve stopped doing that. On Twitter these days I post videos where I’ve just woken up.

“I mean if you do post a video where you look great and have all your make-up on, then great, but I don’t know how you do it! I look forward to my no-make-up days.

“Oh you should see the state of me. I live in loungewear now. I put on jeans the other day. What are these things? What is this material we wear? These are awful!”

Finally, some feedback with which we can all agree...' X

Ah CRAP U DID GRAMBLE Okay I’m gonna do a character that’s less popular lmao do Cromdo I’m curious what u think of him...

How I feel about this character: there are people who think that making danny devito jokes about cromdo and appreciating him as a character who embodies the encroaching failure of Grumpus Capitalism are mutually exclusive, and these people are liars. All the people I ship romantically with this character: do other people’s ocs count? there isn’t a whole lot of cromdo ships out there and tbh i don’t think there needs to be to enjoy him as a character (i could say the same for several others) i know there’s that one cromdo/wiggle fic that’s like. shockingly well-written but even then my reaction was more “wow this is a pretty good fic for a pairing i wouldn’t care about otherwise” rather than “wow i’m totally convinced” My non-romantic OTP for this character: i think they aced his begrudging eventual friendship with beffica; if he does open up that karaoke bar i imagine she frequents it to get the scoop on cromdo’s less cooperative customers. My unpopular opinion about this character: i feel like this is another shelda or eggabell case, where i haven’t seen a lot of opinions on cromdo period - unless what i said in the “how i feel about this character” section counts, in which case i think that not only can people make danny devito jokes AND write in-depth analysis posts on cromdo, but that they should. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: nothing really comes to mind!  My OTP: none for now!  My OT3: also none for now!

reaction to the lost hero by rick riordan

imma be honest this is a long time coming, okay so here’s the timeline we’re looking at so you understand me. i read lightning thief in middle school, dropped it and read it again in ninth grade. then i read sea of monsters, but never started titan’s curse. then for some reason in 11th grade i bought the second book in heroes of olympus and started to read it and got confused so i started to read titan’s curse and got to when percy took artemis’s place and then dropped it...again. very sad that time considering it was LEGIT THE END SO CLOSE. anyway yesterday i read the whole thing again and the battle of the labrinyth in like 6-8 hours. idk i can’t remember if i started at 10pm or midnight but i finished at 6am. anyways today i read the last olympian, and now i’m starting the lost hero. i thought it’d be funny to do my reactions.

this timeline is just funny because i have read so many books, and yet the most popular ones like percy jackson and harry potter, didn’t wanna finish lol. i still haven’t finished goblet of fire yet i read 100 pages an hour and could probably finish it in a day. anyways.

let the reactions begin

okay i’ve heard of jason but i was not expecting a pov already

woah electrocution

he’s already got a love interest what

he said the coach is 5’0 i now imagine the coach as danny devito i have no choice

piper and leo yes i recognize these names

(i’ve seen a lot of posts about percy jackson okay)

i like leo i don’t like dylan

i love the starwars reference

oh look guys we got popular girls that are racist, can they get their asses beat in this pls

dylan is also racist for smiling-asswipe

we love the cherokee representation

i hate them so much can they please leave

“i had to say something” i like coach hedge is this bad

i hope percy is the storm but i just know i wouldn’t be that lucky

ofc dylan is a racist monster

danny devito never returned :(

PLS TELL ME THESE REINFORCEMENTS ARE PERCY AND ANNABETH

who is the bulky dude

i’m sorry i’m laughing he’s a big scary dude with his head shaved and A RAINBOW TATTOO and his name is butch

oh so that’s why percy isn’t here

okay usually when reading i can form some kind of theory or connection but at this point i literally have no clue what is happening

i just knew as soon as he asked that he had abilities with fire but i was not expecting fire fingers

wow what a first impression “you should be dead”

wait so all i remember from the son of neptune was the beginning had percy alone i think and i’m not sure if he had his memory or maybe not and he was running away from monsters, so is what’s happening to jason similar to that? and WILL PERCY NOT BE FOUND IN THIS BOOK?

“That also was necessary. Long ago, your father gave me your life as a gift to placate my anger. He named you Jason, after my favorite mortal. You belong to me.

“Whoa,” Jason said. “I don’t belong to anyone.”

Now is the time to pay your debt, she said. Find my prison. Free me, or their king will rise from the earth, and I will be destroyed. You will never retrieve your memory.”

... okay theories, um a goat skin cloak was mentioned to have been owned by Zeus’s foster mother and that he owned it so the woman could either be the foster mother or Hera. If it was Hera, it would make sense that Zeus gave his son to placate her anger at his cheating or whatever. They are also trapped in Olympus, so prison would make sense. Hera was brought up a lot too, and according to wiki Hera persuaded Aphrodite to make her son make Medea fall in love with a mortal named Jason, so more than likely the lady is Hera. Their king will rise from earth could be the king from the battle of the labrynth, maybe. Or another king ya know there are so many.

Wait a minute

Something else I know about their names is Jason’s last name...JASON GRACE I thought it sounded familiar, because of Thalia Grace. Hah look at me being correct. That explains the flying and not being burnt by a lightning bolt—oh I’m stupid for not seeing it sooner.

Now just gotta figure out who Piper’s parent is.

Aha so I was right it was Hera.

Chiron not being able to give the information they need is kind of annoying.

Enceladus? So a giant offspring of Gaia, um...no bueno. Not a king tho.

“Child of lightning, beware the earth, The giants’ revenge the seven shall birth, The forge and dove shall break the cage, And death unleash through Hera’s rage.”

Okay theory time, child of lightning is obviously Jason. Beware the Earth...yeah no clue. The giants’ revenge the seven shall birth, the giants are probably the children of Gaia since that one giant was her child and it’s the seven are probably the seven half bloods from the great prophecy. The forge and dove shall break the cage, um maybe Leo is the forge since he’s hephaestus’s child (probably butchered the spelling). Doves are typically associated with aphrodite/venus, so idk about that. Maybe Piper is Venus’s child, I mean her God parent is her mom and it’d be funny since she was judging the other aphrodite kids. Also I assume Hera will kill whoever trapped her or someone involved since she’s so mad. Idk.

Could kill Drew btw.

CALLED IT CALLED IT CALLED IT IM A GENIUSSS

Wait. This woman looks like Hera, her clothes are made of Earth and she said Leo would fight her children trying to wake her. They’re gonna try to wake Gaia, which would make sense that it said stay away from Earth if she’s the Earth Goddess

I like the wolves thing because Romulus and Remus, ya know the twin boys who were raised by wolf and started Rome.

“You are our saving grace, as always. The she-wolf curled her lip, as if she had just made a clever joke”

I mean yeah his last name is grace

“She must really like this Percy guy to search for him so hard, and that made Jason a little envious. Was anyone searching for him right now? What if somebody cared for him that much and was going out of her mind with worry, and he couldn’t even remember his old life?”

so what if Percy’s just chilling at the Roman version of camp halfblood without a clue to who he is? bro.

Imagine reading this and seeing all of things I get right and wrong and wanting to slam your head into a wall.

Okay like idk why Annabeth was freaking out we kind of knew they were siblings, I mean they have the same dad. Unless this is saying they have the same mom or are twins or something. That’d be cool. That’s probably what he’s saying tbh but still, could’ve emphasized it more than “that’s my sister” like dude.

Anyway, they look very different so that’s funny.

King Boreas? uh.

Oo French

Let’s see what I can translate from the very little duolingo I did. Bienvenu, maybe a greeting. Idk which tho. Je suis Piper, I am Piper. Et c’est Jason, fils de Zeus, and this is Jason, son of Zeus. Vous parlez francais? tres bien, you speak french? good. Hey not bad, not shockingly good but considering I did the duolingo lessons 4 years ago, not bad. Vrai? Truth? Yeah I just looked it up.

Danny devito is alive!

“Leo scratched his head. “Well, I dunno about Enchiladas—”

“Enceladus,” Piper corrected.”

Leo is me omfg

DANNY DEVITO IS BACK

Arrows...HUNTERS OF ARTEMIS PLS?

“Leo stepped out next. “You’re catching me, too, Superman. But I ain’t holding your hand.”

this made me laugh ok moving on

Uh fight a sea monster? bro is Jason just Percy 2.0

“Aphrodite’s message was clear: This one needs no improvement.

And Piper agreed.”

I wonder if you can hear me squealing from hundreds or thousands of miles away

Did you miss the fact that he’s thirty feet tall— I DIED

Who slew titan k-what now? So basically yes. Percy 2.0

Okay I recognize the name Hazel, and all I ask is that she is not involved with Jason because Jason and Piper are really freaking cute.

an exchange of leaders, SO THEY DID SWITCH THEM

The way I called it

I WAS RIGHT AHA

anyways. time to read son of neptune

[shenanigans-and-imagines]

So I've seen some reylos defend Kylo Ren's redemption arc because they say that we should be more open to characters getting redeemed in stories. It made me wonder, what do you think defines a good redemption arc and which characters are allowed to be redeemed?

That is a really complicated question.

Redemption arcs are always personalize to the character.  A childhood bully is going to have a very different kind of redemption arc to a war criminal.

I do think there is a way to reform most characters, but in order to make it satisfying the character themselves has to be interesting.  Reforming a Saturday morning, purely evil villain doesn’t work unless you put in the leg work to make them more nuanced.

I think when people say they’re tired of reforming villains, it all comes down to the writers not putting the leg work to make the villains nuanced characters.  They just slapped on a tragic backstory and called it a day, not taking into account how their actions have effected the world and other characters.  It sends a message to the audience that no matter how much a person has hurt you, so long as they say they’re sorry, you should forgive them, which is a dangerous lesson.  You’re not required to forgive people.  And you’re especially not required to forgive people if they don’t make any real effort to make up for the pain they’ve caused you.

As for Kylo Ren specifically, his redemption was doomed to fail from the word go.

It is very obvious from the first moment that he takes off his helmet, that Abrams is going for a Zuko style redemption arc.  He’s a character who we see making bad decisions and are supposed to be rooting for him to wake up and realize he’s going down a dark path. 

But, here’s the problem.

We don’t know who Ben Solo is.  With Darth Vader, we are told that Anakin Skywalker was once a kind and powerful Jedi.  We then get the Prequels and The Clone Wars to expand on who he was before.  In Avatar: The Last Airbender, we get “The Storm” which shows Zuko being a wide-eyed child who is willing to stand up for others.

We never get to meet Ben Solo.  We don’t know who he was as a Jedi.  We’re never told what kind of student he was.  We don’t meet any former friends.  We have nothing.  The only reason we’re rooting for Ben to come back to the light is because we don’t want Kylo Ren ruining the happy ending of the characters we do care about, namely Luke, Leia, and Han.  And that’s not enough reason to care.

We also never see why he went to the dark side.  We are told Luke felt darkness rising in him, but we’re never shown what exactly that darkness was.  All we know is that there was some darkness in Ben, Luke tried to kill him, and then Ben was like “well, guess I’m evil now”.  And I don’t want to hear any of you say, “well in the novelization” or “in the comic” or “if you listen to the commentary” or any of that bullshit.  We are looking at the movies and movies alone.  And in the movies, we don’t get any motivation as to why Ben fell to the dark side and without the insight into why he’s evil, there is no solid foundation on which to reverse it. 

With Darth Vader, he turned to the darkside in a last ditch attempt to save his wife.  And when everyone he had known was dead, all he had was Palpatine.  So, his redemption comes with saving his son’s life.

With Zuko, we see how messed up his childhood is.  His father burned his face off and banished him on a fool’s errand.  We see that the Firelord has no love for Zuko, so his redemption comes only after Zuko realizes this and knows he has to make it right. 

Ben doesn’t get anything, which leads me to a key point in what redemption arcs always need; suffering.

We need to see these characters atone for their actions.

For Zuko, it’s renouncing his throne and going to help the Avatar, which include a number of episodes with individual characters of the squad allowing time for him to bond with each of them.  Not to mention his years of exile, face burning, and just getting his ass kicked by the world in general.

Darth Vader’s redemption comes at the cost of his life.  There was no other way he could be redeemed after killing so many.

Now some of you may be saying, “but Ben died to save Rey doesn’t that mean he suffered?” To which I say; no.

Zuko had to go through seasons of suffering before realizing the error of his ways and then fighting to change it.  Darth Vader was turned into a monster before finding his humanity again and coming back to the light.

Ben has been large and in charge of the First Order.  We never see him really suffer at the hands of Snoke or anyone else.  And he changes his mind after one two sentence conversation with his ghost dad.  Again, since we don’t know what turned him to the darkside in the first place, his moment of revelation of the evil that he’s done never hits home.

His dying and apparent love for Rey comes out of fucking no where, with no tie to his redemption or anything else. 

His redemption arc is completely empty, void of any meaning. It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

And if you don’t believe me Reylo shippers who I am sure have read every word of this post, I leave you with this little test. 

Picture, in your mind, Danny DeVito. 

Now, picture Danny DeVito, playing Kylo Ren, including that final kiss at the end of The Rise of Skywalker.

Does Kylo Ren’s redemption arc feel narratively satisfying now?

[twiceblackvelvet]

okay, some of you wanted a list of people to follow what with being disappointed in some people from this community so here are just a few who i personally know or believe to be morally good and who have stood up for the right thing during all of this (and other issues). i’ll also include why i think you should follow them just so it doesn’t feel like a rinse and repeat list since we’re talking about you guys wanting a safe space.

please read all of their rules BEFORE you interact or follow and be respectful.

@bbygirldahyun - in my opinion, just a literal walking sunshine. from the incredible content to the asks they receive which vary from warm/lovely to people seeking advice which bunnie responds to amazingly every single time without fail. if they can’t personally help, they’ll offer resources. a top quality human being, truly.

@chaetrbl - i mean, what can i say? if some accounts here used being a big account as an excuse, vic certainly doesn’t and didn’t nor do i believe it would ever cross her mind to be that self-centred. also produces top-notch content every single time and just cares in general.

@hiraidubu - an artist, so those of you seeking writing may not be interested but kay is always so supportive of not only myself but also a lot of people within the writing community. did i mention artist? cause they’re also extremely talented and amaze me every time i see them post.

@fw-pen - my friend, my rival in written universes (not really), my source of inspiration at times. just a down ass person in general who i think would ride for anyone and anything that they truly believe in. suuuper chill. ask for memes if you’re having a down day, pen has plenty.

@blxirz - being kind of biased granted but blair is a wonderful soul who i am so grateful to know. genuinely has such a caring heart that i can’t even begin to explain nor talk about cause i’d be here forever, just trust me on this one.

@pupvivi - one of the people to have called out the latest comments from a transphobe that has begun this entire conversation and just overall (at least to me) seems like a very supportive person of those around them and someone who’d protect others a great deal.

@jihyomilkies - idk how to explain this one honestly, just expect a lot of danny devito and other crack related subjects that will make you laugh if you’re having a bad day.

@ultsamo - was incredibly vocal today, genuinely enjoyed the discourse they participated in and also seemed extremely friendly to people who were unsure of their place interacting with the community, explained it a lot better than some of us probably could have in my opinion.

@190517sana - everything about kiara just seems very soft and as if she’d take care of you if ever you’re feeling low and need a friend and has repeatedly spoke about the issues that have been going on. a lovely person all around!

there have been other people who have addressed this issue and been vocal about it of course, however these are just some i personally think you guys would 100% find a safe space with and who’d treat you with kindness and respect so long as you offer them the exact same thing.

#i hope those of you not included dont take it offensively i am just being quite wary at the moment

Percy Jackson Fancast (Part 1)

So, I’ve seen fancasts for the upcoming Percy Jackson series, and I thought I’d post some possible ideas. Uncle Rick, I doubt you’re reading this but if you are, hear me out.

I always liked the idea of Percy, Annabeth, and the other half-bloods being faces we haven’t seen before while the Gods are super well-known actors, so I’ll only be casting the gods.

Michelle Pfeiffer as Hera

Hera requires a perfect mixture of elegance and rage, a combination that Pfeiffer has practically mastered over the years. Whether it’s Velma in Hairspray or Ingris from Maleficent, she’s able to bring both sass and grace to every single role she plays. I feel like she’d be able to give the goddess an incredible amount of layers while still ensuring we hate her at the end of the day.

Jason Momoa as Poseidon

I feel like I don’t have to go very in depth about this one since he seems to be a fandom favorite for this role. He’s able to be laid back but you also know he’d be violent if necessary. And if this post doesn’t convince you, just go watch Aquaman.

Mads Mikkelsen as Hades

I was first introduced to this actor when I watched Hannibal, and may I just say: this man is both terrifying and mesmerizing. For those of you who’ve never seen the show Mikkelsen plays Hannibal Lector, a serial killer and cannibal who falls in love with an investigator named Will who’s tasked with sending Hannibal to prison. Throughout the entire show, you’re not sure if you are afraid of him or in love with him. His very voice is both horrifying yet oddly calming and it always gives you chills. I think he’d be the perfect actor for the King of the Underworld.

Danny DeVito as Mr. D

Another fan favorite, Mr. D is the crabby and alcoholic god of wine who’s forced to look after the children at Camp Half Blood. He’s hilarious, lovable, and a bit of an asshole. These traits basically sum up every single character Danny DeVito has ever played. 

Joaquin Phoenix as Ares

Have you seen the oscar winning movie Joker? If you have, than this casting probably isn’t very surprising. Phoenix is able to play characters that, while they seem innocent and kind, are violent and enraged. When looking at him, it makes sense why Percy, Annabeth, and Grover weren’t afraid of him during their first meeting. But, after watching Joker, I can say with absolute certainty that they should be terrified of him. Plus, he’d look awesome in a leather jacket.

That’s all I’ve got for right now. Tell me if you guys want a part 2.

Spoilers ahead for the new Jumanji Next Level movie but I just want to talk about how much I loved this movie.

I love that they really treat it not like a reboot, it’s a sequel. In the first we have the Alan Parish was here. And in this one we have Nora, played by the same actress who was the aunt to the kids in the original. I’ve posted this too many times but I think the next will have Bonnie Hunt watching the news see all the animals and she will say “Alan come here, it’s happening again.” Then it cuts away. It’s a nice way to bring back in the originals without being able to show Robin Williams (RIP).

I knew one of the old guys would end of staying or dying or both would but I love how they did it. Milo just wanted to be free when he retired but then his wife died and then he got old, his body failing and he had a terminal illness. Being a horse well a Pegasus he gets to live and be free. I thought it was a an obvious but very beautiful choice.

All the actors did well as each other, some were boring like Awkifina as Spencer but then she killed it as Danny Devito. They needed to give Karen Gillian more stuff, instead of the 10 seconds as Fridge. And I’m pretty sure we saw exactly how Kevin Hart will sound in like 30 years.

Bethany is probably my favorite, she grew so much during the course of the first movie and she didn’t lose any of that. She was building houses and got to go to beautiful places but she was still just so excited to go home and see her best friends. She was even so excited to be a horse so she could see her friends, like she didn’t complain at all. She was also so happy to be Jack Black again. And that fact she wanted to catch up with Spencer but realized they should stay on track. Like I just love that she truely loves her team. Though I honestly feel like there is still weird tension between her and Alex, like even their real world non avatar personas. It’s weird, not here for it. But her meeting little Bethany was so sweet.

One of the most fun movies I’ve seen in theaters in awhile. Dragged on a little bit at the end and kind of lost the video game feeling for a minute there but 8/10. Maybe 8.5. Will happily talk about it.

(And I’ve been binging New Girl so seeing Winston Bishop fuck everything up in the end was very funny.)

Is It Really THAT Bad?

Dr. Seuss is no stranger to cinematic adaptations, and even less of a stranger to animation. And whenever Seuss gets animated, you can typically expect good things, as opposed to when his work is live action, in which case you can expect…

Yeah…

Anyway, imagine the excitement people must have felt when the creative team behind Despicable Me and the writing team behind the underrated gem Horton Hears a Who got together to do a fresh new take on The Lorax! This was in Illumination’s heyday, before they ended up showcasing that they’re more interested in churning out cheap products for maximum profit, so there was plenty of hope that this could be good. Then came all the commercial tie-ins.

Now, this alone shouldn’t be indicative of the final product. Maybe stuff like this is just a bunch of suits horribly missing the point of the original story! Maybe the actual film will be better! Well… while the film was no flop, and while it certainly got a better reception than most of the films I’ve talked about here, the film was derided by many for being an extremely shallow and lacking adaptation that adds unneeded junk to a story that didn’t need it in such a way that ultimately dilutes the message. It turns a story that operated on shades of gray and turned it into a cartoonish spectacle that would make even Captain Planet blush. Not helping was the rabid fanbase on Tumblr who shipped the Once-ler with… himself… or Jack Frost… forever tainting the film in the eyes of those on the internet.

Things got so bad eventually even the [REDACTED] Critic reviewed the film in his usual over-the-top, accentuate the negative style, and as some people still treat his word as gospel, this has most likely colored the perception of the film. So while it’s certainly not to the same level of infamy as the usual subjects of Is It Really THAT Bad? I still wanted to put this movie on here and ask one simple question:

How ba-ah-ah-ad can it be?

THE GOOD

So let me just get it out of the way: the movie’s villain song, “How Bad Can I Be,” legitimately is awesome and is frankly one of the best villain songs ever. No, I’m not kidding. It’s just a fun, rocking number with some neat visuals, and while it’s a shame the cut rock opera-esque “Biggering” is probably the better song, this one is definitely more fun and meme-worthy. Shake that bottom line!

Now, the casting is, for the most part, pretty fantastic. Minor characters like the grandma played by Betty White are a lot of fun, but really, the main piece of awesome casting is Danny DeVito as the titular Seuss creation. DeVito as the Lorax is just so incredible, perfect, and inspired that it boggles the mind how anyone could possibly come up with such amazing casting.

As far as antagonizing forces in the film go, the Once-ler’s awful, vile family are enjoyable in a “love to hate” sort of way. While it’s certainly kind of iffy that they felt the need to give the Once-ler more of an excuse for his actions beyond just simple greed, it isn’t so bad that what they came up with was familial pressure. In fact, they’re actually much better at antagonists than O’Hare, the actual villain of the film, and the fact the movie give him so much focus despite having such fascinating characters that would have had a really great thematic purpose; hell, they should have been the rulers of Thneedville instead og O’Hare! There’s so much untapped potential with these, quite frankly, very interesting characters.

I guess I should say the Once-ler is a pretty decent character in and of himself, but he very much suffers from the same problem the Jim Carrey Grinch does – he’s a good, enjoyable character in his own right, but he’s not a very good Once-ler. In fact, he at points borders on “in name only” territory. Still, he does have a pretty solid arc, and that villain song slaps, so… I think he’s solid, and Ed Helms does a good job voicing him.

THE BAD

Jon Lajoie, while in character as his misogynistic moron rapper MC Vagina, said this:

When I first heard this lyric, I didn’t understand it… but his words were a prophecy, because that is, in all honesty, the plot of this film. Our flavorless protagonist Ted really just wants to get the Truffula trees back so he can get into the pants of the local smoking hot redhead hippie, Audrey. It gets to the point where Ted’s motivations are so boring and shallow that Audrey actually would have made a far more interesting and compelling protagonist, seeing as she already has an inexplicable knowledge of the trees and cares about nature. When they already changed so much in the story I don’t see why they couldn’t just make the protagonist a girl while they were at it. As it is, she barely has any presence and feels like a waste, which becomes all the more awful when you know she’s being played by a stunt casted Taylor Swift instead of an actual voice actor or even an actor period. At least Ted is Zac Efron, an actual actor, though he doesn’t do a particularly good job himself.

Then we have our villain, O’Hare. O’Hare has all the subtlety of a Captain Planet villain but none of the cheesy goodness and fun. Sure, Rob Riggle does some good delivery and gives O’Hare some memetastic moments, and sure, his selling of canned air is oddly prescient of things that happened in real life in India (though technically President Skroob Spaceballs beat him to the punch by a few decades) but it doesn’t really redeem O’Hare from being an excessively weak villain who is shoehorned into the plot solely to turn the story into a black and white morality tale. It… doesn’t work at all. What also doesn’t help is that O’Hare has an absolutely repugnant character design, looking like if Edna Mode got mangled by a sixteen wheeler and left in a ditch on the side of the road.

Finally, this movie just doesn’t really respect the story to any great degree. As mentioned above, it waters down a story that presented arguments from both sides and, while still ultimately showing the Once-ler to be wrong and shortsighted, did have him make some valid points. Here, the story is presented as there being a clear cut good and evil in a horrendously unsubtle and unpalatable way. Yes, we get that extreme deforestation and overuse of resources is bad, you don’t need to beat us over the head with it. It doesn’t help that the film also crams in a bunch of cringeworthy pop culture humor that really doesn’t add much to the story; say what you will about the anime scene from Horton, at least there was a bit of substance and reason for it. Having characters sing the Mission: Impossible theme is just making a reference for the sake of making a reference.

Is It Really THAT Bad?

So I’m gonna say that I don’t particularly find this movie to be good, per se. It’s very dumbed down and more than a little undermined by the various brand tie ins. It is a poorly executed black and white morality tale that was crafted from a very deep and engaging piece of children’s literature, and on that level, I don’t think this movie works even a little bit. Still, there’s some enjoyment that can be mined from this, particularly from some of the more so bad it’s good moments, as well as DeVito’s performance and some actual good moments of story and character. There’s some stuff to like here if you dig a bit, but really, I don’t think you really should have to do a deep dig into The Lorax to get some enjoyment.

Overall, I wouldn’t really say this movie is totally bad, but it’s definitely not good, either; it veers more into the territory of “so bad it’s good,” which is a shame but also kind of refreshing. It’s definitely an interesting film to talk about, and there are a few things about it that work, but ultimately it’s not enough to really raise the film to the level of the classic animated Seuss adaptations or even to the level of Horton. At its best, it’s okay, and at its worst, it actively undermines its own messages. I think the 6.4 it has is pretty fair… maybe a bit too fair, if I’m being honest. I’d give it something like a 5.7 or 5.8.

Again, it’s not the worst thing ever like some might tell you; hell, the adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas Illumination would go on to make is probably a worse movie. But it still doesn’t really do anything that adds to the story its telling, and it ultimately comes off as saccharine, forgettable childish fluff. It’s really a harmless movie, but it’s still probably gonna grate on anyone who holds the original story in high esteem. The {REDACTED] Critic was a bit hyperbolic in his review, but I do think he was right in principle. This movie feels like a calculated, corporate adaptation meant to be as inoffensive and marketable as possible much like every Illumination film post-Despicable Me. And if there’s one thing The Lorax shouldn’t be, it’s “inoffensive and marketable.”

[thememcry]

bby can i ask heid / aerith for that ship meme and then as a bonus can you just tell me like somthin bout the ship of sexy pete/danny devito cause i cant stop thinking about it love u

      whose a bigger gremlin, ship edition. i actually choked on my spit and air at the same time. i love you sm.

who the fuck put the peeps in the microwave?

      does ... does heidegger even know what a peep is? aerith does. aerith does it to show him about it. heidegger is curious why the fuck she’s putting a sugar chick in the microwave. but he finds the explosion amusing, at least. because he would. because it’s heidegger.

who forgot to put the cat outside before sex?

      there is no cat in this scenario because i am so, so scared that heidegger’s fucking answer would be to just dropkick the poor cat out of the room so we’re going to save everyone involved the trouble and say THERE IS NO CAT. ... alternatively, if there was a cat and he didn’t try to remove it so forcefully, he’d laugh about it. gyahaha! even the cat’s watching!

who posts vines of the other doing embarrassing shit?

      aerith. for a few reasons. 1) heidegger doesn’t know what vine is. 2) aerith would 100% record herself teaching him how to use shit he doesn’t know how to use and the subsequent anger/frustration to come. LIKE WHEN SHE SENDS HIM A FUCKING TEXT AND HE SHOWS UP AT HER HOUSE!? shit like that, but in every scenario where the boomer has to learn how to be more like a millennial. it’d probably be a wildly popular vine channel, too.

who breaks the most phones?

      if you tell me that there isn’t a budget specifically for heidegger’s phone when he gets angry and crushes them / throws them / steps on them / shoves them down some poor asshole’s throat, you’re lying to me and you should feel bad.

who dies first?

      aerith. unless heidaddy is gonna bust into the temple of the ancients and punch sephiroth in the face until he doesn’t have a face anymore. which i could honestly see happening? i mean, he did promise to protect her ...

which one I could see as being lactose intolerant?

      neither. heidegger hasn’t lived 8900 years being as fucking fit as he is by letting his body have allergies like that. heid woke up one morning when he was 16 and tried to drink a glass of milk and when his stomach said “no, you’re allergic now” he punched his stomach until his body tolerated milk. that’s canon.

who thinks they can do something really well even though they can’t?

      i joke that heidegger thinks he can find aerith but can’t, considering how many people who shouldn’t know where she is ... do. across all of the universes. BUT THAT’S CRACK. neither of them. heid is an accomplished military tactician and general, and a director of the board in a terrifyingly successful company that’s destroying the planet. aerith is street smart and not dumb enough to try shit she knows she can’t do.

who is more likely to get kicked out of the bed?

      neither? i mean, i know heid is a tough dude but i don’t see him kicking her out of bed, especially not after what it took to get her there??? and the dude is like 90% body heat. aerith is curling up on that like a cat in a sunbeam.

who uses the computer most?

      boomer mcleod. i mean heidegger. IT must love him.

BONUS: sexy pete and danny devito, eh? i heard that pete makes danny dress up as humpty dumpty and he scrambles that fucking egg all night, you know what i’m sayin’? some real cheek clapping. beating them egg whites till they’re fluffy. it’s the most sinful shit you’ll ever hear.

#❀ ﹙ answered ﹚ « tell me a secret and i'll keep it forever » #❀ ﹙ about ﹚ « poetry bleeds from ivory bones like sweet syrup » #❀ ﹙ gyahahahaha ﹚ « he is a weapon. a killer. you can use a spear as a walking stick; but that will not change its nature » #gyahahahaha #i had fun with this one so fucking much because #imagining heid in any of these scenarios was INCREDIBLE #also: sexy devito is my new otp #danny pete? #ily han #so so much
