as a Porky Fanatic i’ve always loved just about every classic iteration of his character, but the more i analyze and comb through these cartoons i find myself becoming more and more enamored with Clampett’s approach: blundering and oblivious, but incredibly endearing and charming whose humor is largely (and anomalously) derivative from his sincerity.

 this particular clip is such a perfect combination of embracing that sort of sincerity and almost encouraging it, but also poking polite fun at how eccentric and comically naïve he is (as reflected through the dog’s very succinct commentary.) only Porky would find it acceptable to breathlessly explain his life’s story to some random dog he found then feeling the need to politely excuse himself and leave with absolutely no warning, and that in itself is just as funny as any other visual gag or screwball escapade. a-ma-zing!

#i posted this back in 2019 and went to reblog it with the above thoughts but the tags were so long winded i just made a new post for it #the curse of getting access to better prints and being more articulate outside of 'THIS IS CUTE he is silly' #i really do miss this sort of sincerity in the filmmaking though as much as i love some of the more cynical cartoons and realize how they're #able to capitalize on their individual strengths to maybe a greater degree #i think you can have your characters be earnest and poke fun at their genuineness without being callous about it (or at least direct said #callous approach to characters who aren't as sympathetic in nature and work well with that sort of humor) #i say this while adoring the McKimson/early Jones approach of having Porky seen as a ruthless antagonist LOL. Freleng too to a degree #sincere doesn't equal boring you just have to sometimes dig a little further to find the humor and honestly i feel that makes it so much #more rewarding and why i love Porky as much as i do he's the only character who makes me laugh purely without doing anything on purpose #and if you've made it this far:this is animated by Bobe Cannon #lt #wise quacks #clampett #vid

L please

thank you for the ask!!! i see u in my notifications from time to time so it's nice to hear from you teehee

L - something nice about a character who isn’t a fav

wahhh this is a bit difficult because there are so many characters in bully that i just feel neutral about... so many choices. i guess i'll do a few

i'll start with gary bc he's an obvious one that i don't really care for despite being so popular within the fandom. a lot of people try to redeem him, but i think gary's intense role as an antagonist and the batshit crazy shit he did to fulfill said role was amazing. his actions were absolutely wild and i loved it. it really is a shame he didn't show up more outside of chapter 1, and honestly i wish they went on with the nice guy persona a bit longer before the betrayal. he was a good antagonist, and i don't think he needs to be justified on account of mental illness and stigmatization and bullying. i think we should be allowed to enjoy his character and look down on the parts of him that bully definitely made ehhh decisions with.

and uhhhh i'll do earnest bc no one really likes him lmao. even though earnest was a genuine creep and disguised it under a faux nice guy act that no one actually believed, i think those aspects of his character were done well without trying to justify it. his actions aren't inherently romanticized within the game, it's obvious that they're bad and jimmy even starts working against earnest. as obvious with what i said about gary, i love an antagonistic character that can just be antagonistic without some sob story to back it up. yeah earnest is bullied and tormented for being a nerd, but we don't see a lot of that in game, we just see him be a pussy bitch who makes the most horrible actions and says the most horrible things, and i LOVED being able to beat him the fuck up. in terms of morality, earnest was horrible. but in terms of immorality, earnest was amazing and he made it so easy to hate him. truly phenomenal.

and i'll end it off with hmm good ol johnny vincent. everyone loves johnny, and i am no different. however, aside from my phase at the beginning of my adventure through the bully fandom, johnny isn't exactly a fav of mine lmaooo all respect to people who do love him though. i love johnny's character bc while he’s not really an original concept, he’s a trope i actively enjoy: an overly jealous, emotional, violent, extremely loyal boyfriend whose girlfriend is actively using him and cheating on him... wowie zowie! and i don’t say this to romanticize him bc people within this fandom often glorify his actions because "omg!!!!11!!1!1 a boyf who will fight for me!!1!!1!!!!111!!" but i never found the appeal of such violent jealousy lol. but i think johnny has a great arc coming for him, one where he learns where to dedicate his loyalty, and one where he focuses more on his friends rather than his romance.

thanks for the ask!! <3 it was really fun answering these!!!

#i never thought about how indifferent i feel about most of these characters lmaoo #it was nice visiting my thoughts about them though #thank you #canis canem edit #bully scholarship edition #mine #gary smith #earnest jones #johnny vincent

Now that I’m older, it’s occurred to me that Jack Sparrow really does play the role of the mentor figure in Curse of the Black Pearl. He’s definitely a very cleverly subversive take on the trope, but he is a take on it nonetheless; The older figure who teaches our young, hotshot hero how to act and passes on wisdom. “I knew your father.” An experienced member of a forbidden group that our protagonist learns to accept he is a part of. Acts as a call to action, and isn’t introduced until past the first few scenes of the film.

By contrast, Elizabeth and Will are established in the movie’s first scene, which further strengthens the actually hot take that they’re the main protagonists of the film and the trilogy as a whole, not Jack. Jack is just less recognizable as a mentor because he breaks a lot of the rules (more guidelines really) of the trope, and is treated as more than just a tool for our main character’s growth; He’s someone with his own life and wants and stake in this, too.

Jack Sparrow is ultimately the Gandalf, the Obi-Wan of Pirates of the Caribbean. And that leads me to my argument that PotC is the Star Wars of its generation, with its own Empire Strikes Back and everything. It’s got a lot of the same tropes and structure, but it’s mixed around and dressed up in such a unique way that most people fail to realize this at first glance. 

Take for example, the dynamic of Davy Jones and Cutler Beckett... This is just Vader and Tarkin in A New Hope; A more iconic, supernatural threat, physically imposing, who is nevertheless subservient to Just Some Guy who is British and represents the Machine that strips the world of its magic and wonder. Vader and Jones are more romantic, they’ve got sad backstories and are humanized to the audience; But Tarkin and Beckett are banal and simple, just ruthless men who don’t care, like in real life.

But while Tarkin dies in the first film to make way for Vader taking the spotlight, as well as his similarly theatrical Emperor, the creators of PotC clearly wanted to explore the dynamic of a supernatural force straining against his imperial collar, and the tension of knowing he is contributing to the decline of his own kind. They took Vader and Tarkin’s relationship and made it front and center, happening at the end of the trilogy and not at its beginning. And it is Beckett and the imperial machine that is emphasized as the true evil, whereas in Star Wars, the Empire takes orders from Palpatine and his Dark Side shenanigans, who are framed as the foundation for the conflict.

The crew reinvented Star Wars for a new audience, rather than just... pulling off of the brand and imagery of Star Wars, or copying it word-for-word. They understood the core foundation of the story and the earnest creativity that comes into making something both familiar yet inarguably new, which subverts the stories that came before it in a meaningful manner.

On the subject of "People don't really like pwTrauma/Mental Illness," people's "activism" is so fucking transparent. Characters like Steven Grant are praised and coddled because his mental illness is cute and uwu look at his little bear paws aw he's so nervous vs character like Marc Spector are perceived as "bad" because he's a liar or rude or violent. Or on the other side, the "Marc has never done anything wrong, he's just a wet cat" people who attribute all of Marc's violence to Khonshu.

You can like Steven and think he's endearing and also acknowledge he called Marc a parasite and punched Marc after seeing their trauma.

You can like Marc and recognize he is a liar and is extremely guarded because of trauma. You can recognize he likely only became a mercenary because he was kicked out of the army and it was likely his only option while also acknowledging that he killed people.

Matt Murdock is a depressed man who lies and manipulates his friends and is also an earnest person who wants to protect his community.

Jessica Jones is an alcoholic to pushes everyone away but she gives a shit.

Wanda Maximoff was so hurt and lost her grief exploded and created a fantasy where she could be with her husband and have kids.

None of these characters are good or bad. They're people. And sometimes, people with trauma are assholes. People with trauma are bad friends sometimes. They can be manipulative, liars, clingy, insecure, aggressive, and violent. But guess what. Acknowledging the times they're "problematic" is not an attack on the character nor is it stigmatizing.

But, if you hate a character for exhibiting behaviors typically associated with pwmental illness, maybe you're not as good of a person as you claim to be.

#and honestly its fine if you like a blorbo in media and would not be able to get along with them irl #not everyone is capable of being friends and kind to people with trauma #but God its so fucking jarring to see character *hated* for shit you do #moon knight #daredevil #jessica jones #wandavision #marc spector #steven grant

f9 jj watcher here and i agree so hard with both anons. i've rewatched the show a lot as i've grown and them showing a glimpse of what kilgrave would be like if jessica put herself last and how NOT doing so was the right choice for her in the end and no amount of tragic backstory can excuse what he did to her was really helpful to me as someone who grew up in a culture that you have an obligation to sacrifice anything for anyone even the ones that hurt you irrevocably. like not to be earnest but it was really so fucking good. that show said jakey should die and he DID 🔥 by her bare hands 🔥 i love jessica jones so much she's the reason for my leather jacket i bought then that's still so well-loved now. best marvel series 1 and marvel female character out there fr

that show really said jakey should die!! You should kill jakey while looking straight at your female best friend and telling her you love her!Ugh yall are making me want to rewatch so hard. Jessica Jones season 1 truly gave us a glimpse into what a good superhero story could be. It really is the only show I’ve ever seen to live up to what Michael Chabon’s kavalier and clay told me superhero stories could be

Mokuba for the character bingo??

ಥ╭ʖ╮ಥ

Ohhhhh this kid. One of the only characters I have no impulses to put in a washing machine for eighty spin cycles (because canon has done that enough waaahhhh). I love this little bastard so very much and would absolutely hand him all my money if he mugged me behind an arcade.

Did I write a significant portion of my YGO/Spider-Man crossover about Mokuba finally having his own smug little asshole genius pals that he can get together with on a Friday night surrounded by sour candy and mountain dew and hack into SHIELD servers together just to piss off Nick Fury? ABSOLUTELY I FUCKING DID. Look at me. Look at me and picture Michelle Jones-Watson, Ned Leeds and Mokuba Kaiba in a room together and tell me that is not the ideal shit disturbing squad.

ANYWAYS LOL UNHINGED CROSSOVERS ASIDE I think Mokuba is so wonderful precisely because he's a rude little jerk and also sweet and earnest, willing to do unspeakable things in his brother's name and also being the only person on the planet who will be like "Seto Kaiba Perhaps That Is A Little Much Innit," etc etc, he really is the best spiky little critter of all.

Favorite 9 books read in 2023 (tag game shamelessly stolen from another user):

Looking Glass Sound - Catriona Ward. I will read anything she writes, quite literally. This one is all about writing, its allure and its peril. A+++

Tracers in the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency. Didn't expect this to be as utterly riveting as it was.

The Three-Body Problem - Cixin Liu. Finally read it; omg mind-blowing.

In the Lake of the Woods - Tim O'Brien. Damn, this guy can write.

The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell. Damn I read some great sci-fi last year.

We Are All the Same in the Dark - Julia Heaberlin. Fantastic mystery/thriller out of left field. Picked it up on a whim; zero regrets.

At Night All Blood is Black - David Diop. Brief, brutal, poetic. Amazing.

Winter Counts - David Heska Wanbli Weiden. I was glued to the page, rooting for these wonderful, earnest, flawed characters.

Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth. Horrifying, but also a rare example of the justice system getting things right. Eat a bag of dicks, Alex Jones.

Tagging, because I'm curious: @gefionne, @niennawept, @clementine-starling, @porlovistoeinmasochist, @daziechane, @nocompromise-noregrets, @spiced-wine-fic, @evmorfiad, @helenvader, @inkcurlsandknives, @theelfmaiden, @clumsycopy and anyone else who cares to say!

Recently Viewed: Re-Animator

[The following review contains SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator (an extremely loose adaptation of a serialized story penned by H. P. Lovecraft) comfortably resides at the intersection of horror and slapstick. The scenario of a zombified corpse carrying its own severed head, for example, wouldn’t feel out of place in a Chuck Jones animated short (albeit a particularly grotesque, macabre one)—though actor David Gale’s talent for nonverbal communication elevates the classic gag (sheer annoyance has never been so palpable).

And no, I won’t elaborate on what exactly that decapitated torso gets up to. If you know, you know.

The true MVP, of course, is young Jeffrey Combs, who is seemingly impervious to the inherent absurdity of the film’s premise, delivering an utterly earnest, straight-faced, unironic performance. In his capable hands, ambitious medical student Herbert West epitomizes arrogance, vanity, and egotism; despite his formidable intellect, the aspiring scientist is neither wise nor self-aware enough to recognize his increasingly obvious madness. Thus, Combs’ unwavering sincerity merely reflects his character’s humorless disposition and unflinching confidence in his academic brilliance—a compelling, insightful, thematically appropriate creative choice.

The movie is hardly flawless; indeed, Arrow’s recent 4K restoration inadvertently exposes some rather lackluster cinematography (flat lighting, bland compositions) that might otherwise have been disguised by the fuzzy grain of a VHS transfer. Such minor blemishes, however, are ultimately inconsequential. The artistic value of a production like Re-Animator is measured not in the quality of its craftsmanship, the structure of its plot, or the depth of its narrative, but in gallons of gore and volume of sleazy subject matter—and on those dubious “merits,” it is an undeniable success.

Hi! I really your fics! Came for Stephanie Brown currently waking my way through best life.

My impression of Iron Fist was that it was like flawed in premise. It’s hard to make that one specialist white guy who got mystical monk powers in fantasy Tibet not seem like cultural appropriation. (Dunno why Dr.Strange doesn’t catch more flack.) Those characters were first made a while ago.

Anyways you make Danny Rand seem so likeable. Really liked that one with him and Colleen. Is he like that in the comics?

Hi, I love this ask! That Iron Fist story had a truly stupid amount of thought put into it, and I wish I had more opportunity to speak about it! I had a lot to say. I'll say one of the things here, and maybe reblog this with more specific commentary on the fic. But yes I want to talk about Iron Fist again!!! Only person on Earth!!

Yes, Iron Fist is based off an outdated trope. I'm not going to use the word problematic, because I do think it was sometimes an earnest exploration of an idea that had to be told in a way that the audiences would accept. In the 1970s, there was this perception (reality?) that white audiences simply would not watch a story with a lead of color. If you wanted to tell any sort of story about other cultures, then the lead had to be white. I've always called this the 'Dances With Wolves' story, and when it falls into problematic shit TvTropes calls it Mighty Whitey.

This is everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. Everywhere before 2000 (generously), and frequently even these days. It's even portal fantasy/isekai. It does not end. I'd break it down into two categories, four options. Very broadly:

Dances With Wolves (or Atlantis The Lost Empire, for a movie I like). The white hero is the POV character for white audiences to project onto and for wish fulfillment. As I talked about a while back, the basic assumption is that the audience is white and male, so he's the audience insert. In better movies, this character is used as an entry point so the movie can explore the other culture and their problems through the white viewpoint. In worse movies, this is straightforwardly Mighty Whitey where the POC are interchangeable hypemen present to make the MC look cool and heroic and save them all and probably become their king. This is Iron Fist.

Pulp Adventurer Hero (Tintin, the shit Indiana Jones was based off). Think of these as basically portal fantasies or isekais. In the 1800s when Americans got a taste of the Adventure (TM) bug, add in the Race For Africa and Orientalism and Wild West, you have a lot of intrepid super spies or archeologists or explorers investigating Distant Lands like the Congo or China. This was all late 1800s, got super popular in the 20s with dime novels, and tapered off in the 60s. Orientalism was at a high and Asian countries were viewed as very exotic and alien and foreign, so it got the brunt of this. Every single solitary one was HORRIFICALLY RACIST. Like holy SHIT. The mysterious Congo pygmies were little better than talking animals. Better, slightly more modern versions are Indiana Jones and the Mummy, who's directly based off these dudes, and is only pretty racist instead of horrifically racist.

You can organize the vast majority of Hollywood media predominantly featuring other cultures made before the 1990s into one of these categories. At best, they're outdated. At worst, there are some things I ask you not to Google. I do love Little Nemo in Slumberland and Tintin but holy hell.

This is the chain around Iron Fist's leg. You can slap a coat of paint on it, you can make it as woke as you like, but you cannot escape the basic foundations of the problematic story (and this is problematic, not outdated). You would have to literally kill off or get rid of Danny to fix that. When I talked earlier about how Iron Fist does not meaningfully engage with race the way it wants to engage with race, it is because of these things.

Very few tropes cannot be done well and should never be used. This trope isn't one of them. You could take any of these stories and really drill down into them, break them down into pieces to study the source code and genetics and foundation, and build it back up into something truly fascinating.

Never saw the Iron Fist show, but I'm guessing it wasn't deftly written and it didn't really engage with this. I think it's possible to write a good Iron Fist story, but you cannot do it through ignoring these foundations or dumping so much stuff on top of them to try and hide them. You can't. You have to drill down into this. There's stuff you can say using this trope, and if you write thoughtfully and actually have something to say you can write a damn good story (By the way, this is why the Mandarin in IM3 fucked hard - it didn't slap a coat of paint on the hugely problematic character, it looked at why the character existed and what the modern day equivalent of that character is and rebuilt it with the intent of having something to say).

Iron Fist is inherently bad. It is also not inherently bad. Its stories are inherently boring. Its stories can be inherently interesting. You just really have to open the clockface and see what makes the story tick. Anyway I'm Narcissus looking into his own AO3 because I actually did this and it fucked hard. IT CAN BE DONE YALL! IT CAN BE DONE!

TL;DR: Danny is nothing like that in the comics :D

Relationship: Dulcie Collins/Eddie Redcliffe/Cath York Rating: E Words: 5010 Summary:

“This is not a good idea, love,” Dulcie says, keeping her tone level. “I know I said I’d try to be more open to change, and I hear and respect your opinion, I truly do, but this is—it’s like the hobby farm. It’s really not going to work.” “I just think,” Cath says, bright-eyed and earnest, “that it would be a healing experience for me. For us both! To share that kind of intimacy. I am committed to working through my anxiety about you fucking your partner and I’m sure that would be so much more manageable for me if we fucked her first. Together.” (Eddie needs a gruck. Dulcie and Cath offer to help her out.)

After writing several G or T-rated Yuletide fics featuring no lesbians whatsoever, this time around I got to dip my toe in the lady pool (as Keeley Jones would say) with some Deadloch F/F/F smut, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Cheers to sephstone for the delightful prompt and to the randomizer for assigning it to me! I almost didn't offer this fandom because comedy is not my comfort zone and I was daunted by the prospect of trying to nail these very distinctive character voices, but the show was absolutely the best thing I saw in 2023 and rewatching it twice for research purposes really brightened up a difficult end to a garbage year.
