do you know what was the biggest fumble in sitcom history….

not establishing this fucking chaos duo as a pairing

#ok maybe not the biggest fumble #but still pretty big #they’d of been so good together #like she comes up with the best schemes and he has zero concerns about his own safety #tell me that wouldn’t be perfect #arrested development #gob bluth #maeby funke #they could’ve been perfect #bluth family #but instead they kept trying to make michael and maeby happen #chaotic duo #can you tell that i’m currently re watching arrested development #lol #and also while we’re here #buster bluth was so underused #like buster x anyone always banged #he had the best chemistry with everyone because he was just an entirely different level of deranged #and i loved him for it #justice for my boy #buster bluth #ok that’s all

I just experienced something so insane I don’t think anyone I tell will believe it

alr I lied I gotta talk about smth else quickly

• so remember when I mentioned branch's reaction to the country song when they entered lonesome flats??

yeah now let's talk about how poppy reacted

poppy hears the song then concludes that the country trolls are miserable and don't know how to have fun

and what better way to make them have fun?? force them to listen to pop music.

cough cough barb parallels COUGH

ofc that doesn't work the country trolls are appalled by their pop medley

all of them... except for hickory

I think poppy was drawn to hickory because he was the only one that seemed to along with what she had to say without any complaints basically he said what she wanted to hear so she trusted him wholeheartedly

now let's actually get into my favorite part of this movie

• I LOVE THE FUNK TROLLS HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I don't think you need a genius to figure out that these are black folks LIKE LOOK AT THEM AND LISTEN TO THE QUEEN ESSENCE

guys the vas of the royal funk family are all black. ik maybe doesn't mean anything BUT MAYBE IT DOES ALR

anyways no matter what race the funk trolls may be they still play such an important role in this movie and let me tell y'all why and how

thru their encounter with the funk trolls, our pop trolls duo (yeah biggie left) learn three important things :

- differences do matter, they're a part of our identity and it would be wrong to ignore them

- even with those differences and origins, trolls still can be multiple/different things (ex.: cooper who says that he's pop AND funk, prince d who identifies as a hip pop troll which is not on poppy's outdated ass map)

- yeah that story poppy heard from the pop trolls' perspective?? yeah no that's not how it actually happened

explained beautifully by anderson .paak's song, the pop trolls stole all the strings, used them to make their kind of music and cut out the other trolls from the music scene

in the words of prince d

"That's just the story cut out and glued by the winners"

AND YES THAT'S HISTORY FOR YA

different retellings, stories of what happened from another pov because guess which perspective you read from the history books?? the winners.

poppy hears all this and y'all idk if it's because poppy's voiced by anna kendrick but this is where all I could think about of was white saviour complex

because this girl is still all about uniting all trolls so they'll live in harmony and yes it comes from a good place but she's just not getting it and fucking hell 😭

she does get the message at the end of the movie after finally meeting barb and speaking of her....

• barb is awful and that's what makes her a great character

as we all know barb's plan is so "unite" all troll nations under the rule of hard rock which is not uniting that's just assimilation

where poppy's desire for every troll to live together in harmony all united by music, barb's comes from a sense of superiority and maybe even pity

evident by every moment she steals a string, barb comments on the other trolls' music with insults which justifies why their music isn't real music while hers is

what's funny is that barb and poppy are very similar

they both really want to prove themselves as good queens, they desire for all trolls to be united and, even if poppy won't admit it, they both see their music as superior tho that degree of superiority is very different

where the similarities end are that barb doesn't want everyone around her to say what she wants to hear, she wants ppl to be real to her, meanwhile poppy refuses to hear anyone else's voice because it's different from hers

which leads to another difference between the two, poppy learns to listen to others because

"A real queen listens." (both said by her and branch)

now let's talk about that finale shall we??

#again any quotes are probably not written exactly as is from the movie #poppy hating era?? no but I was heavily judging her #white woman activity y'all what can I say #funny how I say that and saw some blk poppy fanart earlier today 😭 #FUNK TROLLS 🔛🔝‼️ #I love the royal funk trolls family they're so based and cool and amazing #dying on the hill that funk trolls are black folks #on the other side of the white woman spectrum we have barb #barb is a good character tho like no hate towards her fr #she's a great antagonist and yes I'm not saying villain like I called the chef

Honestly one of my favorite parts of arrested development—and something I wished we had more of—is the relationship between Maeby and Gob.

See the thing is, they’re so similar! They have their schemes, theyre liars, arguably the most chaotic members of the Bluth family, and they’re also often the forgotten/overlooked child. (Also some flavor of gay- bi maeby truther)

But it’s more than that! My favorite part of the last two seasons is obviously the Blunder but what I also loved is how the narrative was now widened and following the different members of the family.

We got to see what Gob gets up to when he’s away from his family, when in the previous seasons it wasn’t always clear/the family didn’t know and didn’t want to know

And sometimes I really wish we had some of that in the earlier seasons if only so I could see all the Maeby and Gob interactions that go on unnoticed. I mean. Gob knows about Maeby’s job making movies. ("uncle gob?" *gob pauses in trying to throw a sick cat overboard/hiding from said cat* "maeby?") And, he voiced (or rather Will Arnett did) the voice over for a Gangie movie.

During the inner beauty contest/pageant Gob is the one who recognizes Maeby and asks her who her favorite family member is (a friend of mine theorized that question was asked without him knowing it was Maeby and he’s just a dumbass like that, which I agree he would be a dumbass like that but I have to believe he recognized her)

And idk, I just really love the dynamic they got going. They’re so similar and chaotic and I would have loved to see some uncle-niece shenanigans.

(That being said I also loved uncle-nephew shenanigans and I miss the George Michael and Gob interactions too. George Michael being awed by Gob’s magic was so sincere and beloved by me)

Funk Branch

The story is that at a young feral Branch found baby Cooper, became Cooper's 'father' on accident but took care of him anyway. After the first few months the forest became too dangerous to keep Cooper so Branch had to take him to the pop tride. Branch stayed hidden while Cooper was accepted. Branch stayed nearby to keep an eye on Cooper, Cooper kept it a secret about his 'dad' and became friends with the snack pack. Branch leaves Cooper wooden toys at his new house. A few years went by and the other trolls started talking about 'the grey' in the forest. Trolls either made fun of or were terrified of 'the grey troll' but Cooper would have had to drive them away secretly until one day Poppy through a gigantic party with powerful fireworks which caused a fire in the forest, near where Branch was staying. Cooper was able to find Branch trapped under a tree crushing him. After Cooper saved him, Branch began to leave when Cooper decided to run away with him. Soon they got to the desert where the funk trolls found them, Branch became another son to King Quincy and Queen Essence, an older brother to Prince Darnell and an older brother/father to Cooper

Cornelia Funke, writing a children's/YA story in 2002/2003, deciding to give all the adult characters POV chapters, and including a love triangle with a married woman:

#inkheart #cornelia funke #i just reread the reveal that dustfinger was fully aware who resa was from the moment he saw her and like...that didn't have to be the case! #it would've been sooo easy to make him unaware...like wait I've never met her your photograph was blurry it's been years etc etc #but NO ms funke put her foot down and said dustfinger will knowingly pursue this married woman even tho he knows her family #and honestly good for her #like i think adultery is wrong but it's compelling and unsurprisingly rare in children's books lmao
