HBOmax is fucking wonderful cartoons in the ass right now so here's how you can watch some of them (THIS WILL BE UPDATED AS I FIND MORE)
gomovies.sx has OK KO, Infinity Train, Mao Mao Heroes of Pure Heart, Elliott from Earth, Summer Camp Island, Aquaman: King of Atlantis, Close Enough, Dodo, Esme & Roy, The Fungies, Little Ellen, Mighty Magiswords, The Ollie and Moon Show, Tig n' Seek, Uncle Grandpa, Victor and Valentino, and Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs.
which is every cartoon network show being removed with the expections of Messy Goes to Okido, Mia's Magic Playground, Odo, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, and The Runaway Bunny.
It's not a cartoon, but Theodosia is also getting removed and is also on gomovies.sx
I haven't looked a ton into it but wcostream.com should also have at least some of these titles, I have checked shows can be safely downloaded from the site by right clicking on the video once you've started playing an episode, I don't know what specific titles are on it.
This has every episode of Infinity Train if gets removed from gomovies.sx
This has the first 28 episodes of Mao Mao Heroes of Pure Heart
@dogdayafternoon1975 here on tumblr has a good guide to burning dvds posted recently here:
Also if you're mad about this like many others, make sure to wreak havoc on social medias of course, but if you have an account for it go to help.hbomax.com to give feedback. When you do this don't just spam them, say what you are upset about and list specific shows. Remember some of these shows had/have an entire season that was about to air through hbo and now the creators of them are unsure if that's going to happen now because of this. The creators of these shows weren't notified, at all. HBO is going this just to save money on taxes. Animation should be preserved and accessible!
Yeah, yeah. I know Christmas is already over last year and this drawing picture was supposed to uploaded on Christmas Day, I'm getting any delays due to visiting Instagram and stuff. But it's completely finished and ready to be uploaded on this year (2024). So yeah, I hope you enjoy! 😁
Looks like Roy and his boyfriend Steve / Rayburn Jr. holding their hands while they're sitting on a couch during the Christmas season.
Hey! This has nothing to do with that I normally post but it's been bothering me since the news came out.
As you may know HBO max is removing many of their animated series for taxes write offs. Which basically is leaving them attempting to scrub these wonderful shows off of the internet.
As a creative myself I couldn't imagine have something that a me and my team have spent so much love and time on just to have a big corporation treat this work as nothing but means to make money. So please if any of these shows interest you watch them while you can and please show some love for those behind them.
Many in the animation industry have had to fight to get their stories out there.
I will also say piracy is in my eyes completely moral if the media in question has no way to purchase legally even those behind these shows are supporting illegally watching their shows. (Here's Owen Dennis, creator of Infinity Train twitter bio after this news.)
I do also recommend if you can to support those shows that are still available on other platforms if you are able!!!
List of titles leaving (Obtained from @CNschedules on twt)
I know this may not being impossible to my followers but I can't really put into words how devastating this is. Don't let corporations get awake with this blatant disrespect towards amazing people and their visions.
To hear those words escape from Balan's mouth, was like a gut punch and a knife to the heart, all at once. To think that the all powerful maestros of Wonderworld, the ones who could literally make anything happen with a snap of their fingers, reduced to being at a ultimate loss of what to do now, was more heartbreaking than anything that Lance could have done
Mei however, snapped out of her own funk. "We can't give up just yet. We do and Yin wins." She said. Lance gazed at her with sad eyes "He's already won. We have no power, and The Balan Theater is destroyed." He said. "But Yin doesn't have Wonderworld's heart. THAT'S what he's looking for." Kaylo reminded. "Yeah. But what good does it do us?" Balan asked.
"If Yin realizes that the heart isn't in Wonderworld, then he's essentially trapped WITHIN Wonderworld instead of OUTSIDE of it. And that gives us time to figure out what he's truly planning." The pink haired girl said. The maestros looked at each other. She had a point. If they couldn't get in, then Yin couldn't get out, and that gave them an advantage What did Yin truly want with Wonderworld's heart?
"I grabbed this before the Theater fell." Trisha Jane said, holding up a file that was only named "Project X" "This was also in Yin's hideout. Maybe it has something to do with the heart..." Leo added. "Well. Let's see what's inside-!" Balan started before Lance grabbed his wrist. "No. Not here...we need somewhere a little less...open." He said. Balan sighed, but Lance was right, a alleyway next to a big pile of rubble wasn't the greatest place to look over something called "Project X".
Aria snapped her fingers. "I have an Idea!" She said.
A Few Moments later...
The large group had arrived at the Montgomery as Emma knocked at the door and was greeted Mr and Mrs Montgomery. "Hello there Emma! What are you..." Roy's words faded from her mouth as he caught sight of the costumes "It's a Long story..." Emma said. "U-Um...Come in?" Esme said in a unsure voice. Emma lead all of Wonderworld's inhabitants in.
The Negabosses shrunk themselves down so they could fit into the door, while the Tims made themselves comfortable on...pretty much all of the furniture. Once everyone was in, Trisha Jane opened up the file, as they saw everything relating to Project X. The kids gasped as they saw the blueprints for the Purifier from PPP, and the Pill that was created at the Perfect Getaway. "This is all the stuff that Prim used! I knew she had help!" Kaylo shouts.
"Yeah...but look at this." Rebecca said, picking up a blueprint of the Purifier, but inside of the machine was not a person...it looked to be a costume from a past inhabitant of Wonderworld. "It's a costume! But why would Yin use the Purifier on costumes?..." Lora Jade said "Same here with the pills...These look like things found in Wonderworld" Aria said, finding an ingredient that reads "Everglow Lily" in the list of items needed for the pills creation.
Kaylo's eyes landed on another paper in the file, one that read "Project X" on it as well, but when she grabbed it and read it, she gasped in horror at what she saw. "What is it Kaylo?" Iben asked. "I...I think I know what Yin wants with the heart now..." she whispered. She showed the group the document so that they could all see, and they all gasped in horror as well.
I'm doing a series of "Best Character Named X" polls where all the characters have the same first name but are from completely different media, feel free to send in name/charcacter suggestions, I'm posting one poll a day. New polls scheduled for 1:30PM BST everyday. Run by @femmehysteria
please send suggestions via ask so i can see them, replies get lost in the notes. I reply chronologically so very sorry if it takes a while for me to answer
If your favourite character is not included in the poll very sorry i have either never heard of them or actively chose not to include them as theres only 6 characters per poll. Characters will only count of that is their first name, surnames do not count.
*subject to change, you can still submit a character if there is no strikethrough if you think theres a character that its an absolute crime i dont add. Please don't suggest anything for the names with a strikethrough as they are polls that are already in my queue waiting to be published.
The crowd of people gathered around outside of the castle. The sound of an organ was heard playing in the background. What was happening on this particular fine day? A royal wedding was taking place. Princess Aria and Reala were officially getting married.
"I've never been to a wedding before," Gangle said with excitement. "I can't wait to see the princess and Reala!"
"Neither have I," Jax nonchalantly replied, gazing at his new armor with silent admiration. As a reward for aiding in catching Queen Primrose, Jax was given new armor that was styled how he wanted it. And so did NiGHTS as well.
"Look!" Kaufmo exclaimed, pointing at the royal gates. "Here they come!"
Everyone turned and cheered to see Reala and Princess Aria exiting the castle. Princess Aria was now clad in a white dress and a white viel. Reala was in a white and red prince outfit. He held Princess Aria's arm like a gentleman.
"Wow!" Bianca sighed in awe. "Look how beautiful Princess Aria's wedding dress is."
"It's really gorgeous, isn't it?" Phil asked.
"I agree," Clem replied. "Reala's outfit looks amazing as well. The colors suit him completely."
King Roy and Queen Esme exited the castle. They both smiled in joy at the sight of their daughter marrying the one person who awakened her.
"Looks like both Reala and Princess Aria finally got the happy ending that they deserve!" Leo said.
"I agree," Pomni said. "This is a wedding I will never forget."
The crowd watched with smiles as Princess Aria and Reala kissed each other on the lips. Then, the crowd cheered and clapped at the sight.
"I knew he loved her," Jax said to himself. Though, he didn't applaud, he did watch the wedding occur.
It really was a fantastic happy ending for everyone.
Here it is, my new Easter fanart of 2024 was completed yesterday at 1 o’ clock at the morning I made. So enjoy! 😁
Roy and Rayburn Jr. (He wears his same suit in 2022, but with different bunny ear headband) wearing their Playboy Bunny suits for the Easter this year and holding their Easter baskets. They’re decided to hide the eggs so that everyone finds them at the Easter Egg hunt. So happy Easter of 2024 everyone! 🐣 🐣 🐰 🐰
I’m seeing plenty of excellent posts on tumblr addressing how infuriating the Warner Brothers Discover merger is, but my dashboard’s circle of influences has yet to produce for me a more comprehensive sequence of events or list of shows being taken down, so IMMA START

HBO Max has also removed about 200 episodes of Sesame Street; I am presuming those certain specials mentioned up above are included. A certain Batgirl movie that would’ve brought back Michael Keaton also got canned.
This is all because Warner Brothers Discovery wants to merge HBO Max and Discovery+ into a single streaming service in order to compete with the likes of Disney and Netflix. Over the course of the next ten+ years they hope to have a base of about 130 million subscribers. It’s also worth noting that, according to The Washington Post, “Warner Bros. Discovery was formed in April, when AT&T’s WarnerMedia unit and Discovery completed their merger, and started with some $55 billion in debt.”
I had yet to see any tumblr posts talking about what Warner Brothers Discovery really plans to do with these programs, and frustratingly it’s unclear at this time how many, if any, of them will make it onto the new streaming platform. (And to be fair, from what I’ve perceived this whole hot mess has been happening on such a rapid timescale it’s been hard to pivot before the rug gets ripped out from underneath us again.) Warner Brothers Discovery through HBO Max would’ve had to keep paying residuals to the creators of these shows, so locking the shows in financial limbo looks a hell of a lot like a massive tax write-off. They’re cutting their losses as much as they can now in order to compete as an even bigger monopoly, but their best bet to pay off their $55 million debt is really to include all the shows onto the platform and let the debt and residuals pay for themselves via the subscription service. And even then, let’s be clear, Sesame Street should be free.
This, I imagine too, is a developing story and we’re bound to hear about some more fuckery in the near future.
There is Just no Stopping this Thing Called 'Love' - Chapter 2: The End

A/N: Jaysteph Weekend 2023 Day 2: Wearing Each Other's Colours | Hand in Unlovable Hand | Annoying Bruce Thanks to my betareader, Esme! See Chapter 1's notes for more information<3
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
The exotic elegance and golden glitz of the annual Wayne Gala met the couple’s eyes as they exited the carriage, the door held open by one of an assortment of footmen.
Jason looped Steph’s arm through his and they began to ascend the steps to Wayne Manor.
Alfred smiled at them as he hurried by, ordering a handful of harried staff to their posts.
A valet took their coats and Jason’s derby hat, and Jason led Steph to the sparkling ballroom, her white gloved hand resting on his arm and the rustle of her taffeta dress swishing behind them.
The strains of Forget-Me-Not increased as they drew near, the ambient chatter of dozens of guests filling their ears.
They stepped into the ballroom proper, glancing around for the host of the Gala and his extended family.
Steph spotted Bruce’s cousin Kate’s distinctive red hair immediately, as she was chatting with the other redhead in the room, Jason’s older brother Dick’s fiancée, Babs.
“Waterfowl incoming,” Jason’s husky voice sent a shiver down Steph’s spine, but she kept her mask on. The first obstacle was approaching them, the red-vested figure determinedly making his way through the groups of Gotham’s elite towards them, a wrinkle on his brow.
“Jason,” Tim greeted, nodding to her date before lifting her hand to his lips to greet her with a courtly kiss. “Miss Brown,” his tone was puzzled as he greeted her.
“Timothy,” Jason returned.
Caught between the man who had courted her for a few short weeks before ending their fledgling relationship abruptly and her new fiance, Steph strove to not be overcome by the awkwardness and posturing occurring in front of her.
“Well, this looks like a lovely party, Mr. Drake. I’m sure part of this is due to your advice to Mr. Wayne on the newest trends.”
She blatantly ignored Tim’s obvious confusion at her appearance, here, on Jason’s arm.
“He likes to stay up to date on the newest fads, Miss Brown,” he answered hesitantly. “I assure you I provided very little input on this gala’s preparations.”
“Well, if we miss Mr. Wayne, please relay my compliments on the lovely production.” She squeezed Jason’s arm, telling him to take her away from the conversation as quickly as was acceptably possible.
“Oh, Jason, Bruce is trying to make you socialise with Mr. Queen’s son,” Tim muttered as he left.
"Well, that could have gone worse," commented Jason lowly as he spun her past a couple dancing on the edges of the dance floor, her red skirts flaring in a way that pleased Steph. “What is Bruce up to now?”
Steph shrugged. "Mr. Drake is too busy trying to figure out how we know each other; that’s probably why he dropped it so precipitously. Bets on if this is Bruce or Brucie acting?"
“He’s with the Queens, so probably a bit of both,” Jason sighed.
Steph glanced down at her left hand, the glove she was wearing covering her new jewellery.
“I need some champagne,” she sighed, snagging a flute off a passing waiter’s tray. “Should we invade their conversation?”
Jason glanced over at the group. There was a barely contained look of pure mischief on Roy’s face, and Jason groaned. “What is he saying?”
He headed over immediately, Steph following slightly behind so it wouldn’t appear as if she was eavesdropping (she was absolutely eavesdropping).
“Why, Jason loves riding. Not as much as his younger brother, I’ll grant, but he still goes out a fair bit. I’m sure Mr. Harper would be most welcome to join him!” Bruce enthused.
Jason coughed.
Bruce turned. “Oh, here he is now, how fortuitous! Mr. Harper, this is my second son, Jason Todd. Jason, Mr. Harper.”
“Pleasure to make your acquaintance,” Roy shook Jason’s hand, barely smothering his cackles. “Your father was just telling us you love to ride. Perhaps we could make a joint adventure of it some day?”
“Certainly, certainly. Do let me know when you are available.” Jason matched Roy’s fake posh tone.
“That vest is a dashing shade of purple, Mr. Todd. Who is your tailor?”
“It’s eggplant, thank you. I usually just use Bruce’s tailor, Thomas Misell.” Jason winked. “Bruce does have good taste.”
Steph, sensing the opportunity for more chaos, nudged Jason’s arm with her elbow.
He smoothly wrapped his hand through her arm and around her waist, pulling her into his side and joining the circle. “May I introduce Miss Brown, my fiancee? Miss Brown, Mr. Harper and Mr. & Mrs. Queen.”
Steph nodded regally. “Delighted to meet you.”
Bruce stared at them, a dozen questions on the tip of his tongue, but being in public he had to restrain himself.
The Queens soon moved away to greet a fellow Gala attender from Star City, leaving the couple to Bruce’s scrutiny.
“Fiancee?” was the only thing that he could say.
They nodded, beaming.
“I proposed tonight.”
“It’s nice to formally meet you, Mr. Wayne. I’ve heard lots about you.” Steph made a half-curtsy.
“How long have you been seeing each other?”
“Jason began formally courting me last New Years’, but we had been unofficially courting since October?” she glanced up at Jason, who nodded.
Bruce looked relieved that this wasn’t an impulsive thing done either to spite him or because one of them was under someone’s influence. “Congratulations, then. Pardon me, Miss Brown, but you look familiar…have we met before?”
“I’m a domestic for Dr. Thompson,” she supplied. “You may have seen me sometime when you stopped by to donate some money. We really appreciate it, Mr. Wayne. We have been able to help so many more unfortunate souls with your support.”
“That is very good to hear, Miss Brown.”
Bruce shot Jason a look that told him they would be talking about his surprise fiancee later and excused himself to greet Mr. Palmer.
“Well, that could have gone worse,” Steph surmised, relaxing against the wall with her champagne.
“Just wait till Dick returns from his trip and hears about this,” groused Jason. “Enjoy the last few minutes of peace while you can.”
