random thought I had:

If someone is aro/ace/agender/ect. (just a in some regard) and bisexual/biromantic/bigender/ect. (same thing but with bi for another aspect), would they be a complex person, because they are a+bi? (yes this is a math joke, but I am also curious as to if it's an actual term)

I'm estranged from my family.

I was told a year ago one of the people who raised me - the one who didn't hate me as much or didn't hate gay people as much or both or neither - the one who taught me to drive and swim - the one who was illiterate and used my homework to learn - the one who killed the rooster - the one who was a cat burglar - the one whose father died a day before they were supposed to meet - the one who grew up post-WWII London - the one who people liked - the one who told jokes - the one who never protected me or my brother - the one who I would have seen if it hadn't meant seeing their spouse - just died.

I had a year. I could have seen them.

But the last time I ever drove near the place I used to live, I was violently sobbing. I was just a kid, and I wanted to die.

The only thing I had left to say was that I used to respect them. That's not something someone dying needs to hear, and it's not something you can take back.

They said worse. Things you can't take back.

But right now someone I used to love and respect is dead, and I'm allowed to mourn the person they used to be.

Pride Month Triple Feature Finale: Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling (Commission for Weird Kev 27)

Well this last installment is a bit late, but any month can be pride month if you belivie in yourself, so we end this pride month trilogy with Rocko’s Modern Life Static Cling, something i’ve been wanting to cover for years, but usually something came up or I realized I forgot to include it by the time the schedule was already full up. But with violence, legeslation, and outright bigotry towards Trans Persons only escalating, it felt like the right time.

For those not as familiar with Rocko, quick refresher: Rocko’s Modern Life was one of the earliest Nicktoons, created by Joe Murray and being a hit not just with the networks target demo, but adults who related to the series, a 20 something hang out sitcom but with all the lunacy animation allows. Our Rocko, his doofy friend Heffer and nerdy best friend Philbert dealt with nipples of the future, death, time travel with the elderly, elves, and recyling. The show was very of it’s time but also timeless as MANY of the fairly adult subjects it tackled in it’s unique goofy way still resonate: the show tackled topics like your parents not approving of a mixed marriage, the struggles immigrants face, homosexuality (via clowns), a sexually unsatisfying marriage leading to a wondering eye (done ENTIRELY straight to the point the episode was banned), finding out your adopted, bosses treating their workers like a commodity instead of a person, megacorporations running our lives, credit card debt, and even sex work

It’s thanks to Rocko we have classics like Regular Show, it’s successor Close Enough and Tuca and Bertie. The kind of show that uses wacky humor while still showing some very real shit we have to deal with. 

So in hindsight. .it’s not really a stretch that with changing times, rocko would go from having to use clowns to cover queerness to doing a full coming out episode in it’s revivial special, a pogniant well done story that deeply reconteculaizes a beloved character

Pig you’ve been out since 1996. 

So let’s look at this touching tale and all the other neat stuff just in time for the show’s 30th anniversary shall we?

Static cling follows our boy, his bulbous buddy and his somethign else rhyming with b , picking up where we left off.. and the original finale to the series had our heroes shot up into space, returning as the elderly. The last part is stricken from the record Roseanne style, and instead our heroes have largely settled in: Filburt misses his wife tails, he misses her a lot, but otherwise our heroes are doing fine on fatheads reruns... till Filburt notices the remote has been jammed up Heffer’s butt for the past decade, they fight as usual and Rocko has to scream at them to “PUSH THE BUTTON”. TV’s Frank would not abide. 

SO with that our heroes return to earth. There’s also a nice small joke in that... most people really aren’t phased our heroes were gone 20 years: while we sadly dont’ get a scene with Heffer’s family , easily one of my faviorite parts of the series with Rocko’s dinner visit being one of my faviorite episodes, we do get to see his beaver hating grandpa, with all his innuendo glory, the only change being

And Filburt naturally easily reunited with Hutch because their perfect and we need that. It’s like our heroes were never gone for the most part.  The real exception is ROcko.. and i’ts easy to why: Filburt had a wife and four adoring children eager to finally get to know their dad. Heffer’s family is implictly there and his grandpa is still around only now he can posses lawn gnomes. Nothing’s really changed for either in a way that harms them. Filburt missed most of his kids’ lives, but they seem to have grown up fine.  In contrast when you think about it.. no one was really waiting for Rocko. He hit it off with Shiela well, but that was one episode towards the end. I mean he could look her up on face-o-rama, or something, so ti’s not lost, but when you think about the series with his family in australia.. all Rocko had were his friends, mrs. bighead (who warmly welcomes the guy back and gives him some needed support), and Spunky. Rocko really has nothign to come back to: his job is gone and while his friends adapt to the 2010′s really well... it’s all too much. it also makes sense: Heffer always went with the flow and while Filburt seems a bit too accepting on paper, he’ sa giant nerd in a world where he can livesteream being nauseous and blather about his opinons for an adoring public. I mean I woudnln’t of had the tools to do this when the show aired. I was two and the internet wasn’t easy to come by. Six maybe. 

While the montage of various “new” things was.. dated even by when it came out and is kinda just there outside of Schlammo, the unhealty energy drink , it hammers home that while his friends have accepted the present.. Rocko is lost in it. He was never one to easily accept new trends in the show itself, usually being pulled into things like health clubs or credit cards by Heffer, so it’s entirley in character that being stuck in a world 20 years later with nothing to really hold him there shatters his normal optimisim. I’ts pretty heartining to see rocko shattered a bit when bev finds him. It makes her trying to support him and help him heartwarming.. but it can’t really fix the problem of feeling like the world’s passed you by. It was striking to realize how deep Rocko’s story comes off, a story about nostalgia and how it can help us when we feel lost.. but how we can cling to it as our only salvation. I’ll admit to having dived into my various coping mechanisms, comics, games, tv, youtube, to escape... and to have a minor panic attack if one’s missing, so I may just relate to rocko a bit.. but it still works.  It also kicks off the plot as the fatheads is gone, and Rocko badly needs it. HIs cries for it fall on deaf ears for mr bighead though, who just oopsied at work.. and now his world is collapsing for real, with his job gone and his house soon to be gone. “A tv show won’t solve your problems rocko”. It’s a simple statment.. but one that’s true. TV can offer an escape.. but it’s not going to fix what’s wrong with yoru life. It’s the thesis statment of this special.  Granted it can at least save ed’s job and house and conglomo as the special revenue would do it. It’s heavily spoofing how much companjies rely on these revivials and nostalgia pops, with the series lovingly mocking how much money fans think a rocko special would bring nick.. and then accidnetly being accurate as while Static Cling didn’t bring in millions upon millions of dollars, it was still a success all the same. 

The problem is the head of congolmo wants the chameleon twins to make it cheap with CG. I mean grante dth eproblem is the fatheads also you know.. ende din the run of the show, but honeslty i’m willing to ignore that for what a good story it is and it could easily be said Rachel just had to go back and make more to pay the bills or something. This was also built both off the actual rumors, that later came true of a CG Rugrats reboot, which honestly dosen’t LOOK bad.  So with that our heroes decide to search for the series creator, “Ralph” Bighead, who disappeared during the time skip, as all the money, all the success didn’t make them happy. We get some fun gags including a faviorite of mine “Culturally ambgious pillows”, as our heroes tour the world to find the creator.  And thus about halfway into the special they find them int he desert.. and find out why no one had seen them. See while they last saw them as “Ralph”.... our heroes instead find RACHEL Bighead. 

And honestly ti’s excellently done for the most part. Before we get to all the good let’s get the elephant out of the room: Joe Murray should not have continued playing rachel. Joe.. is a cis man. A cis man should nto play a trans woman. I can however accept this wasn’t done with any malcious intent, and was likelky done to hide that Rachel was trans now, as the special has it as a twist, wtih Rachel having a hat on and only revealing their trans by steping out of her fatheads foodtruck. Having a new VA might give that away. I still wish they’d swapped them but I get Joe meant well.  I mostly get that.. because everything ELSE is done well. When you look back on who rachel was.. they were miserable. They had all the money in the world, but could never find creative fufillment with the fatheads, to thepoint they tried sabotaging a followup with wacky delli. I mean we got the cheese, the best character in the show, but Rachel never found fufillment. It was only by realizing who they always were and making their body into what they truly always wanted that Rachel is happy. Said happiness.. allows her the reconciatlion with her creatoion she never got in the original show, selling fatheads freezie pops. She found a new art, the life she alwasy wanted she’s content. She even refuses to do the special, and rightfully so: while the creator SHOUDL revivie a work if possible, if they don’t want to.. they shoudlnt’ be forced to. Rachel only agrees because her parents are in danger.  I also love the acceptance rachel gets: the boys all think it’s neat and instantly accept it, as you should. The reveal itself is simply done: Rachel steps out, says “I’m rachel now”.. and the boys all think it’s neat and accept it, attaching their drone to the ice cream truck and flying off. Bev also fully accepts it, happy their daughter’s happy and even finding her some cute shoes. It makes sense for all involved: while all from the 90′s, Rocko’s group has always been an accepting bunch for the most part, while Bev was always the parent that accepted their kid more.  It’s harder for Ed.. but it’s a well done harder. He’s bigoted, and potrayed as stupidly as that sounds: he rejects the idea of the special simply because he rejects the idea he has no son but a daughter. I also like the stealth pun there: he once claimed he had no son when he disowned rachel.. and it turns out he never did. Everyone around him rightfully sees this as stupid, and it’s portrayed as such, but what i Like is that they play this realistically. Instead of Ed throwing out slurs or throwing a tantrum, which sadly could very well happen, he just disowns his child, again, and storms off. He can’t accept a trans daughter because to him it’s a change. To Rachel.. it’ sbeing who she was always meant to be. Rachel ends up still making the special, remembering her past, including biting ed’s eye as a baby.. and using that. And while Ed has to be dragged to the premiere, as many a person has to be dragged into acceptaince... it’s said work that helps Ed see what a fool he’s been. Rachel reworks the fatheads.. but now includes a baby based on themselves. It adds great new jokes to the bit.. but it’s the last one, a reinactment of her “damaging her fathers retina”.. that makes Ed realize what he shoudl have all along: this is his child and who they always were. Being a woman not only allowed them to be happy.. but it dosen’t change who they are.. because this is who they ALWAYS were. And what helps is that... Rachel didn’t NEED ed’s acceptance. Their disapointed, but when he wails no at it, she simply says yes. They do the short because, even if Ed dosen’t accept her, she wont’ leave her parents homeless and still loves them both. And it’s ED who has to come around and accept that he has a daughter, he always did.. and that’s wonderful.  We also get Rocko.. not accepting the change. A baby, how dare he.. but ed talks him down, getting to the point of the special in a truly lovely speech. 

“Rocko we can’t live in the past, we can be grateful for it, but life isn’t permenant, and if we don’t embrace what’s now, we miss out on a lot of the important stuff. “ I couldn’t of said it better myself and belivie me i’ve tried. And it’s a perfect message for this special.. and for Rachels’ story. embrace what you have, not what you thought you had. This special is phenominal, with tons of great gags, a truly amazing story at the core, and lots of great cameos in some lovely animation. Check it out wether your new to rocko or want to revisit an old friend. Thanks for reading and happy belated pride.

Hi everyone

I don’t talk about personal details of my life on here a lot, but I live in Missouri at the moment. It’s where I was raised, all my family is here, all of my life has happened in this fucking state.

You may not know, may not have seen, or may not care, but the Attorney General of Missouri just announced an emergency regulation banning care for transgender people of all ages. This egregious, genocidal decision goes into effect on the 27th. I am scared, I am angry, I don’t know what I’m going to do. My doctor can’t prescribe me more of my HRT treatment. I have no more words for this. Read for yourself the utter bullshit this vile waste of human life has forced upon this community, my community.

https://ago.mo.gov/home/news/2023/04/13/missouri-attorney-general-andrew-bailey-promulgates-emergency-regulation-targeting-gender-transition-procedures-for-minors

I don’t know what to do. If any of you have words of comfort, honestly I’d welcome them. I’ve always been afraid of something like this, always tried to keep an eye on trans issues across the country, but this is the first piece of hate that has ever directly affected me to such a degree. No real point to this post, just... trying not to be overwhelmed.

The vampire Etienne, non-binary, centuries-old, defined by typically feminine mannerisms and ways of speaking but not a woman. Etienne has a very soft, gentle personality, and has been pining for the love of their vampire creator for several hundred years. They're keeping secrets from him, however, and fear that if he ever learned the truth, they would be cast out of their home.

Oh boy lol So, this is my girl Kurt. She is a very old character of mine that I felt compelled to make after a lovely discussion with @prissims

Kurt is very important to me and I love her even those she's a super indulgent asshole that is literally a string of intrusive thoughts personified. She's an incredibly masc butch lesbian that loves greasy food, quick cash and soft women. Her favorite snack is beef jerky in a bag and her ideal date is getting way too crossfaded together and staying up till the sunrise with the potential of maybe falling out of her truck bed :)

Pride Month Triple Feature: Sam and Max Freelance Police: That Darn Gator! (Commission for WeirdKev27)

Welcome back to my three part sadly beleated pride-palooza! After looking at how it's okay for gonzo to wear a dress, it's time to look at the wholesome story of two gay dads raising an alligator son.. and then trying to flush him back down the toilet when he gets too big, take him to therapy and get him to the sunny wilds of florida. Look it's easy to see why, while not a confirmed couple, it's easy to read sam and max as one. There's an ENTIRE bit in the fourth chapter of the first telltale game dedicated to them benig each other's perfect match, and it's clear if their not together it's just because i'ts a rough subject to broach. Or because in the early 2000's "THEM BEING GAY IS FUNNY RIGHT" instead of actually exploring the relatoinship. What makes That Darn Gator Work is while the two do adopt John, a tiny alligator they find in a toilet, as their surrogate son.. the fact it's two men raising a child, or a pet alligator in this case.. isn't played for laughs. The two are treated like John's parents, but that's not really where the humor comes from and it's honestly heartwarming. Most setups would play this as a joke or have one be the clear masculine and feminine parent, like Spongebob Did with Rock a bye beluvle. That one only really works as well as it does because Spongebob and Patrick are so childlike they just ASSUME a family needs a mom and a dad and then get too into the rolls. The joke here is just spoofing the hell out of "main character gets a pet but has to get rid of it for some reason", and gets a ton of jokes out of it, from their heartwarming montage with john, to John only eating food off Max's hand (and max never thinking to wear gloves being a nice unspoken joke), and the usual madcap What really makes it work is the punchline: as outlined in a flash foward at the start.. the issue is simply that john.. is a wild alligator and unlike our heroes isn't anthromprohic. Not only is there another subtle bit of luancy I didn't catch, that these two furries are raising a very realisticly rendered gator, but that's just the simple issue: he's too big, he's eaten everything and the thearapist used as a wraparound, in what's kev's faviorite gag, simply shrieks in horror and tells them to get it out of their office. My faviorite gag is when they tearfully decide to send him home.. and while I predicted the sewer as where their thoughts would go, because after 5 teeltale episodes and a godo chunk of the series I know how these two weirdos work... I DIDN'T expect the image you see in the header: the two just stuffing poor john into the toilet, his head jammed in there, nor the two tearfully waving goodbye till Darla explains to her two idiot roomates/parents that alligators come from florida. One trip to florida later and they let john be with his own kind in a giant pile. It's a ludicrous, wonderful little episode worth checking out and like all of freelance police, it's on youtube. Thanks for reading.
