Season 1, Episode 34: Dedicated Involved Loving Fathers

(Note: This is a long one y'all. I ended up typing out all of my thoughts on this one)

Favorite Moment: The entire phone call with Beth May.

General Thoughts:

All right: because I'm really curious, I want to sit and log my feelings as I listen to this. As I mentioned in my previous post, this is the one episode that I've not been able to relisten to because it set me off the first time I heard it. I was listening to the podcast in the car, because I was doing a lot of commuting, and I was so confused by this episode that I exited out of the episode a couple of different times, sure that I had accidentally skipped an episode. And that confusion has just really put me off from this episode. Looking back on the episode, it's very clever, from what I can remember of it, but it bothered me so much. Maybe it's because I was driving, and so instead of just being a fun time, it became this huge distraction.

So, what I remember of this episode, is that there is a fight with bounty hunters and somehow they end up riding on a bunch of animals. And there are some shenanigans with Dennis. But that's it. Most of the details of this episode are not in my brain anymore.

So here we go, let's see how I feel about this one on my second go-around. (By the way, I finished episode 33 over a week ago, have hit play on this episode three times, and have been unable to listen to it. But now it's time. I'm going to do this.)

This intro is very dumb, but very funny. And I love a good "flip to side two" joke. It makes my old millennial heart happy.

The whole table talk and Dad fact portion does a great job of integrating Ashley naturally. So flawless it threw me.

Grant's nickname is shooter? Oh no. The context of that now is unfortunately not a funny baby poop joke. Oof.

Again, so nonchalant in with the Dennis stuff. And I didn't realize that he was also a rogue. No wonder Ron doesn't like him.

His anchor is at the librarium decepticus? That's so smart.

Thanks Ron, for saying all the things I felt listening to this the first time.

Okay, enjoying the episode so far. Doing a quick check-in on how I'm feeling. Maybe it's just me and this horrible bias I have against this episode, but it feels different. It's still enjoyable and I'm still smiling while I'm listening, but it's more that I'm enjoying the heat between Ron and Dennis. I don't know, this is a weird experience.

Ron fell on to his dagger? There's definitely some shenanigans happening here. Accident? I think not!

Poor Grant. Why give him an axe? I had forgotten about all of the additional trauma that happens to this boy in this episode.

Dennis has always been Paeden's favorite? Ugh. Feels awful. Poor Darryl.

Ron doing what Dennis does is great.

RIP jug. It was a cool, useful item.

I'm just happy to be here. Ok, that was flawless. Hats off to Ashley for that one.

So much shade being thrown towards Ron AND Beth. I don't like it. But I like it.

The energy. Is so weird.

It's not bad, for a combat episode. But doesn't feel like how they do combat. More like how actual combat goes in a DnD game.

Okay, another feelings check in. I really do love the Ron anti-Dennis heat. It is very funny.

So we're now 30 minutes from the end of the episode, and the combat is over. And I have no idea what is left because I don't remember anything else from this episode.

Ok, the entire Beth May phone call is hysterical.

Love that Erin hates Dennis too. Oh wait. Nope. She's playing hard to get. That is pretty funny.

Mr. Mustache meets Terry! And Terry finally believes Ron!

Dennis brings up Scam... And reveals himself as Mark. Glenn's line of "Mark- what did you do with Dennis?" Very funny. He's revealed and then disappears.

And there's some planning and apologizing and that's it. I did it!

And next time, we get to what I consider the official start of Arc 2. Let's go get some anchors!

#dungeons and daddies #dndads #dndads spoilers #s1ep34 #dedicated involved loving fathers #so this episode was definitely not bad #and I will probably listen to it again #I'm glad I finally gave it a chance #There are definitely some great moments in here #butt man did it confuse me the first time I listen to it #This is honestly one of the reasons I don't listen to new episodes in the car anymore #I don't want to get confused in the car and want to be able to focus on what I'm listening to

Something other about his eyes

Bonus! Based on this quick thing I did this afternoon and the idea took a bit more shape and turned into that thing from above uEK

#not too much effort on the colors with this one #o would’ve left it just with lineart but at the end I thought it would look nicer with some rough shadows #shadowing. you know what I meant. #his plant markings being extremely faint on his eyes when they aren’t glowing is very true to me also #I think itd be awesome if Vash’s eyes would just look like that when he isn’t masking #or they could be a bit more lax but still look like they are staring far far away into the void #or into your souls if you so happen to make eye contact with him. like woowoo over here #he is probably listening for one of his sisters who is not so close to him. maybe even Kni? who knows it’s up to interpretation #Vash’s hair can be such a nightmare also. I do not think of physics when drawing him whatsoever #I give him the Mickey Mouse ears treatment sometimes and some other I actually respect the fact that his hair will always be swept #to the right. if you haven’t noticed that yet. I think it’s way more noticeable on the 2d art #which is a nice touch! considering that’s the direction I’m which his haircut was when they were kids. isn’t that fun #anyways weird Vash for me once again and I’ll share a little with you. ah I’ll get to the requests later btw! #trigun #vash the stampede #trigun stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #vashwood #trigun fanart #vash #wolfwood #nicholas trigun #lenssi draws #vash saverem #ah extra note. this is meant to be pre plant revelation. I think Vash would already know about what WW is there for since very early on #but about the plant thing he was still a little doubtful since he wouldn’t think Kni would disclose that information so easily. #so seeing that Nick has a very keen eye and is very observant kind of ticks him off even though he is just the same. so maybe that’s why #it ticks him in the first place. headcanons everywhere in this household

Justice League: we need someone to break into this Juvenile Prison for this mission, but none of our kid heroes can do it because we don’t want them to get a criminal record in their civilian identities! Is there anyone who could go undercover as a kid and get arrested so we can get the intel from the prison?

Billy, was actively running away from the cops when he was called into this meeting, already has a criminal record, DEFINITELY knows the layout of this juvie: uh hey guys did you know I have UH shapeshifting powers?

#mads posts #billy batson #justice league #dc #Shazam #captain marvel #the justice league listening through the hidden comm on Billy hearing him swearing at cops to get arrested (again): 👁️👄👁️ #im probably going to write this ngl #edit: I WROTE IT!! check in the notes <3333

mac: bottom

dennis: eviler bottom who bullies and manipulates him into topping all the time

#macdennis #macdennis fanart #I hope you guys like this because I’m probably gonna make nearly the same joke at least 2-3 more times #this is their exact dynamic don’t fight me #listen if I wanna draw Dennis differently in every panel that is my god given right #and it’s definitely not because I have no consistency #I’m allergic to drawing backgrounds sorry lol #tungle would not let me post this the first time let’s try again #machinegoods #nsft #suggestive

Doc: I have impossibly high standards.

Xisuma: [exists]

Doc, frantically texting Tango: Help, he's meeting all of my standards!

He never quite addresses what his standards are and wether or not xisuma is meeting them

#dbhc #dbhc ask #ask #daredevils-advocate #dbhc doc #dbhc tango #DFNBSFGKBDFJGB doc taking the mick out here #poor tango #it’s hilarious I haven’t talked about it yet but tango actually comes to doc for relationship advice #WELL #advice in general #because he is NOT well after double life #mentally. or something #anyway this is very funny #doc listens to him go on about how everything kinda sucks and how there’s this guy he’s probably never gonna see again and docs like. #huh. crazy. good thing I don’t feel that way about anyone #dbhc sillies

#idk im just curious because i oftne see posts that are like ''this song/artist can NOT go on this characters playlist #they would never listen to that'' #and it confuses me a little because i thought character playlists were just songs that you like that you associate with the character #not necessarily stuff you think they would listen to. like with character playlists i just pick stuff with lyrics that describe them #regardless of whether they would actually like that song or not #when it comes to songs associated with ocs specifically though i tend to go for a mix of all 3 of these #but again. mostly vibes and story #Also what i mean by vibes is like maybe the style of music sounds like something that would be associated with them #but the lyrics dont really fit them all that much. does that make sense #i probably could have worded it better but oh well. cant edit polls

House md really is the gayest of gay queerbait. Like I’m sorry but besides SPN and maybe Sherlock no one was doing it like them. And the thing is I don’t even think it was intentional??? House md was unbelievably popular but in a normal Game of Thrones, Grey’s Anatomy way. It’s the kinda show that everyone’s mom watched when it first came out on cable (mine included). Appealing to a young queer internet audience in 2007 wasn’t a marketing strategy they would ever attempt. It doesn’t make sense.

And yet. 

The sheer amount of gay jokes and allegories is just overwhelming by the time you get to the last season. Amber is Wilson’s House proxy, House and Wilson move in together TWICE, the fake marriage proposal, the exploration of toxic masculinity, Wilson’s 3 failed marriages, fucking everything about the last few eps. Like what other tv show spent almost a decade creating the most co-dependent, self-sabotaging relationship between its two main male characters that is essentially the backbone of the entire show. They literally ride off into the sunset together. Idk what else you want from me.

#House md #hatecrimes md #house #wilson #hilson #Listen #ive probably made this exact post before #And I’ll make it again #Cuz that show is batshit crazy #And one of the best worst experiences of my life #i am a changed man #i can never go back to who i was those years ago #“I need you to tell me that you love me” #Every winter i return to my house era #Every summer too #I think its a curse or smthn idk

Sanji: I am a man with STANDARDS

Zoro: I ate chocolate rice balls off the floor after they'd been stepped on

Sanji: oh no! Hes meeting all my standards!

#one piece #opla #one piece sanji #one piece zoro #zosan #listen #i know its been said probably a million times #and im reading a fic with it rn #but we all know Sanji lost his goddamned mind when he found that out #rivalry ended in SECONDS #zoro went from public enemy number one to hearing wedding bells approaching at fearful speeds #hes unsure why theyre stopping at the Baratie again #zeff is griling him about eggplants now? #the cook gets nosebleeds when he looks at him? #hes never been so well fed in his life until then #the rest of the crew is so tired of eating Zoros favorites #hes out of the loop until Sanji asks when he thinks the wedding should be #the little girl who made the rice balls is their flower girl

"The Exocannis Ressurection"

#been experiencing (seasonal) difficulties to feel satisfied with my art. especially if it's digital #i can't make fanart of other things i enjoy besides fnaf or listen to new music without feeling 'unknown' to it #everything is too much. new stuff becomes overwhelming and discouraging. people might not like it. (IT KEEPS HAPPENING RAGHHH)) #so im breaking the cycle by trying something that i came up with months ago (AGAIN) #as some people might know. the character i drew here is Hunter. and he's my OC #he's from a story i created during the pandemic. it was originally called 'The Other Side' #i got obsessed and started making art. it truly felt like i was part of a huge community. when it was just me in my room #i feel like i said this before. but after Behind The Codes. this story is probably going to be the next thing i'll be working with #starbsart #original character

Human Ink but he’s actually 100% human this time

My DTIYS drawing for @karineverse :D Congrats on 500 followers!!!!!

(Rambling under the cut)

I actually already made a post about my human ink here but I’ll ramble about them more if that’s okay

Ink draws stars on his pants when he’s bored in class and sometimes puts paint on his sleeves. He also wears no shoes cause he wants to “feel the earth better”. Blue sometimes forces him to wear sandals. He also writes notes on his scarf just like in canon, (it’s written “dog? TAX SEASON, Pick up Dream, Exam Tuesday”)

They also have a big bag to bring everywhere. Inside, there’s art supplies (ink pen, paintbrushes, sketchbook, pencils, ruler, IPad with broken screen (Error broke it after borrowing it for 10 minutes, he says it was an accident), stylus pen, palette knife and a box cutter (can be used as self defence teehee)). It also has three pins, one with the aroace flag, another the non-binary flag and the last one is intersex.

I think Ink would be the guy who’s in his mid twenties but is still at school (university). It’s not that he’s bad at art, it’s just that he never really understands the assignment, finishes days after the deadline and is always late for classes. (He’s so me fr)

And since art school is expensive, he’s broke and sometimes invites himself into his friends homes without any warning

???: Ink? What are you doing in my house??

Ink: Window was unlocked

???: That doesn’t- Is that MY cereal???

#art #utmv #ink sans #dtiys #kv500dtiys #this is basically just a college au oh god #and yes ink knows how to drive in this au #probably never listens to the teacher and draws in class instead #I may have put too much thought in this damnit #also congrats again Kane for hitting 500!!

This is a very random thing, but years ago I played a game where all the fae had Scottish accents, and I’ve never been able to imagine fae without Scottish accents since.

Therefore, I think that every fae in TWST has a Scottish accent. More specifically I’m convinced that Sebek has a Doric accent, and also that Silver actually has a Cockney accent.

I’ve been needing to share this with you for a while now, and I’m curious on your thoughts here.

ooh, that's a fun idea! I do see some Scottish inspiration in some of the little aspects we get to see of the fae culture (like the Day/Night courts, although they aren't quite as. extreme. as the Seelie/Unseelie :'). so it tracks!

I do like the idea of everyone having different accents in general! not in, like, a cartoonish or stereotypical way, but like...they're from all over the world, so I think it makes sense that that they wouldn't all speak with the equivalent of, like, a transatlantic accent. (...although that would actually be amazing in its own way, hold on --)

(there is something uniquely wonderful about the idea of Silver with a Cockney accent, thank you for bringing this into the world. his whole weird mix of formalities becomes that much better if you imagine he's never said an h in his life.)

#twisted wonderland #joseimuke games are serious business #then again we are just reinventing the yuri on ice dub at this point and we're on (forgive me) thin ice there #also i say chowdah so probably no one should listen to my opinions on fictional character accents anyway #who needs all the letters in these words anyway. me 🤝 silver

#I was so impatient with this one and it came out bad i think #Think inking is just slapdash #But i do like the layout #I probably wont revisit this as much as it eats my brains #But do u see my vision #Harry is sitting there after poking around and being told to stop poking around and he watches kim tensing up #Oh he doesnt like this at all. Empathy failure. Check again #He is very tuned in to whats happening. If you talked to him his ass wouldnt be listening #He brought you here to see this on purpose

Thinking abt just how emotional Mutant Mayhem really is at its core. Thinking abt how Mutant Mayhem actually addresses how emotionally hurtful it is for the turtles to be considered monsters. Thinking abt how it knows they’re just kids. More than any other version of tmnt yet

(This is messy lmao sorry guys)

#I’ll probably make a more organized post about my thoughts on this when I watch the movie again #I’ve just been rotating it in my brain so much #and I was listening to O.U.R. by Jack Stauber and the lyric ‘yellow sunshine rays are out stay at home and laze about’ reminded me of MM #tmnt #mutant mayhem #mutant mayhem spoilers
