my take on lars fillmore is that he's basically fry with the ability to mask. he's fry's neurotypicalsona. he's not not neurodivergent, but his hyperfixations are conventional and he's rehearsed as much of his life as he can (bc he knows what'll happen) and once he gets to a point where he doesn't have the answer clearly laid out he Fucking Panics and explodes

#futurama #lars fillmore #benders big score #lars #the tragedy about lars is that the aspects that leela loved in him are present in fry too #but i feel like he did realize that by the end #that fry could be better. and she could be happy with him.#im obsessed with lars and his brain #i relate a lot to that plot

"but he puts his hand on the small of her back exactly the way he used to do to you. it means 'i got you.' and when he did it to you, it made you feel safe. and you realize he will never do that to you again.

and it breaks your heart again, after your heart was so broken that you thought it could never get any more broken."

quote from bojack horseman.

i really think leela felt more intensely about the colleen thing than she let on in public, especially since this was only about a month after the first movie and all that happened there...

do you think Lella loves Lars more than she loves Fry? SOrry I’m still getting into all of the futurama nitty gritty lol

that's kinda hard to answer actually, so if everything i say next turns into an incomprehensible ramble im sorry 😅

the complexity of this stands in what Leela really saw in Lars when they met. he tried to make everything perfect, recreating all that he saw when he was Fry from memory. because until the scene fry came back to the future, he as fry was there, watching as this bald handsome guy and Leela fell in love and seeing her be happy with someone else. And seeing her happy and deciding it was enough for him was the pivotal moment he changed. he's not Fry pretending to be Lars, he IS Lars.

now, in the future (present?) Fry came that same realization too, trying to get Leela and Lars back together. and he took less time to do that than the time duplicate did, so it's interesting how much Lars pushed and accelerated Fry's character development.

Now, from Leela's POV, the important thing to note is that when she met Lars, she didn't know who he was. however, she developed a strong and fast connection with him. She trusted him. i always suspected it must have been like she recognized something familiar and safe in him, something that was entirely Fry, but she didn't even realize it until it was too late. so, put simply, Leela was searching for Fry while Lars was hiding Fry, and I think it was what shined through in the beginning that helped Leela fall in love.

it's also interesting to note how fast Leela was ready to get married to him. it's not unheard of from her, but the other two times she chose this was with Alcazar, who was promising her what she most deeply wanted (a home planet and a family where to belong), and to Fry in TKOS. When Lars called the wedding off, Leela was deeply heartbroken. She later called Lars "the only man she could ever love", but at the funeral when Fry said "he was a good man," she replied with "you were". i think that says a lot about what she feels. Leela loved Lars because of how like Fry he was, but she will love Fry more for how much like Lars he will become

#this was hard to put into words #you should probably ask The Sophisticated Shut In for some extra Lars-thoughts #because she basically reshaped him into what i think about him today and is way more capable than me in explaining why Leela loves fry more #(even tho they are the same person so really it's a bit of a funny competition)#lars fillmore #my beloved

anyone think about how fucked up it is that Lars basically abandoned Bender and then didn’t even care about him or have anything to say to him once he was with Leela. Like really? You didn’t want any closure with Bender? None? Even though he was your best friend and roommate for like. years and years.

Hello Friends,

I wanted to let you know I am among the living. Studying for the CPA Exam, working, and just a couple of bad weeks has reduced my available photoshop time, but my study materials have not been so lucky...

Here is a quick sketch dump for ya... where I took my random garbage and quick photoshopped it... very roughly...

Is it just me or do Dan, Fern, and Lars Fillmore alternate (Fry) have some similar issues... quick comic is in the works ;)

Please enjoy or roast as appropriate

Welcome to….

Futurama Showdown!

The Showdown will consist of 72 of Futurama’s characters. Due to the nature of the show, I wasn’t able to include all the characters I wanted to, but I tried to make sure that popular or often discussed characters were included, but I am biased and included a few characters that I just really wanted to see (this is for you, Pazuzu).

Most of the characters will be fighting it out alone, but some of the couples/groups in the show are placed together for simplicity’s sake. Yell at me in my asks if you so desire.

Non-traditional family trees: the case of Futurama

The Farnsworth family tree that he shows to the crew members of Planet Express in "All the Presidents' Heads"

Some time ago, Mary Koeven wrote an interesting article about family history and adoption (if it is taking a long time to load, please read the archived copy), which she defines as "when a child is raised by someone other than their parents, whether or not their last name was changed or any official adoption process was carried out in the court system," with adoptive parents being either "grandparents, aunt and uncle, other family members, or complete strangers," sometimes referred to as "guardianship or fostering rather than adoption." She also went onto say the important part is establishing a timeline of the child's life, saying that "any information you find on relationships and family events should be recorded on your family tree." The article goes onto outline how to add "adoption info in your Ancestry.com tree," specifically focusing on the Harry Potter series as an example, although looking at how this works for Family Search would also be helpful. In this post, I aim to talk about family trees in Futurama, which I briefly mentioned in a post on one of my sister blogs.

Reprinted from my Genealogy in Popular Culture WordPress blog. Originally published on July 27, 2020.

After reading Koeven's post, I responded on Twitter, wondering whether the family tree in Futurama was "non-traditional," adding that "one of the protagonists is his own grandfather," referring to the Fry family. Koeven responded by remarking that "time travel would rewrite a lot of the fundamental rules of genealogy (death always comes after birth, etc.) and make research MUCH more difficult." Be that as it may, I still feel this article is one worth pursuing. Infosphere, the nerd's guide to the Futurama universe, has a very helpful family tree of the Fry family, which explains a lot:

Courtesy of Infosphere.

In episode 1 of season 4 (Roswell That Ends Well), Fry and the rest of the Planet Express crew inadvertently travel back in time to 1947. In the process, he kills his own grandfather, Enos, leading to all sorts of distortions:

Fry's time travel means that Yancy, Sr's paternal grandmother is Mrs. Fry, his wife and Fry's mother. And not only did Fry become his own grandfather, he made his father his own grandfather as well. An infinite loop results: Fry is his own grandfather, great-great-grandfather, great-great-great-great-grandfather and so on. This abnormality is the reason Fry lacks the Delta Brainwave.

This disrupts the fundamental rules of genealogy and would make research more difficult. Besides the crew of the Planet Express ship, who else knew that they traveled back to 1947? Those in 1947 cannot testify to anything except that "aliens came," although those "aliens" were people from the future. Later on, in the series, during the first Futurama direct-to-DVD film, Bender's Big Score, Fry again travels back in time, creating the time-paradox duplicate of Lars Fillmore. Again, if he is a duplicate, what is his real birth date then? We can say for certain what his death date is (Dec 31, 3007) but if he has the same birth date as Fry, then doesn't this create another distortion? Some have been bothered by these distortions, saying it throws other parts of the show into question, like the DNA scanner in episode one.

Fry's family, you would think, is the only one that has this phenomenon of distortion. The Waterfall and Turanga families are free of this distortion. But what about the Farnsworth family, which ties into the Fry family? After all, Prof. Farnsworth went back to 1775 and seemed to kill his ancestor, David Farnsworth. The only way the Prof. could still be alive is because "it's possible that although David Farnsworth was a relative of the Professor, he wasn't one of his direct ancestors" as the Infosphere claims. Still, this would create another distortion, as the crew members did "alter history when they travel[led] back in time to the American Revolution," without a doubt.

You could say that makes the episode, "All the President's Heads," even more relevant to genealogy than "Roswell That Goes Well" because Prof. Farnsworth is trying to spruce up "his family tree, eager to show anyone willing to listen - and plenty who aren't - all the amazing people he's descended from," as noted in an approving review by Alasdair Wilkins in Gizmodo. However, other reviews say that in Roswell That Goes Well, Fry "climbs his family tree." Hmm.

What are your thoughts on this? Are there any family trees from other shows you'd like to share?
