JUNGLELAND (2019) Grade: C

Interesting concept that had some potential. The plot was a mix bag. The ending was a let down and a little cheesy. Jack O'Connell was good though.

Was re-re-re-re-watching Duncan the Humbug like an idiot and I'm just having some bumbling thoughts (dunno if anyone has done this before so ignore me if it's been done)

To sum up Duncan the Humbug, Duncan is being himself around Christmas season, grumpy and complaining about any and everything. The other engines on the Skarloey get annoyed and Rusty talks to Mr. Percival about it, who says that unless Duncan can be cheerful (not just keep his complaints to himself, he needs to be happy) for a whole day, then he can get the new Christmas coat of paint. Duncan, wanting the coat of paint (as all engines do), has a go with the challenge. Rather than being negative and shitting on everything around him he puts up an extremely forced cheerful front around the other engines to say "see? I CAN do it!" But like I said, forced, and it's very obvious to the other engines (he sounded hella sarcastic when he was talking to Skarloey LMAO). He almost broke at the frozen crossing gates but held back when Rusty pulled in. Luke being stuck on the hill was what made Duncan finally snap BUT he regrets it quickly when he realized Luke was hurt by an outburst. Yada yada yada he uses his sand he helps Luke and Rusty sees and tells Mr. Percival and Duncan ends up with new paint.

I watched this because I wanted Skarloey railway content (like a madman), but the more I rewatched it the more it just. It started festering in my brain. Compare it to the other Duncan episode in CGI Thomas, Duncan and the Grumpy Passenger, and something feels a bit...off? Not in a negative way, but it feels different.

There's a clear message in Grumpy Passenger. If you focus too much on something that you can't control, it will only lead to even worse things, your best bet is to ignore it and do what you can. Then looking at Humbug, on the surface level it's "if you're so negative all the time, someone will eventually get hurt", but that's not really it, is it?

Duncan, good ol' Duncan. Ever the complainer, ever the pessimist, he makes no effort to hide his annoyance with having to work during the snowy season, in fact he very much makes it everyone's business. Nobody is surprised that Duncan is like this, except everyone seems surprised. "Oh but it's Christmas, can't you cheer up for once, Duncan?" Rusty, for better or for worse, speaks with Mr. Percival for an incentive to get Duncan to be less negative, if only just once!

And it works, sort of. Duncan is acting more cheerful because he wants that coat of paint, once he gets that paint, he'll go right back to being a complainer. I'm no humanities student (in fact I'm in STEM so this is very much not my territory), but I'd like to assume that because of this very materialistic reward, Duncan's efforts at being cheerful are... disingenuous, probably because they are disingenuous. He just wanted some paint! All this work, and now he has to fake being happy and wholesome? Ugh!

A whole day of having to fake an optimistic personality would probably have worn him down, so in came the Luke encounter and Duncan snaps. For buffer's sake, Luke, what's the hold-up? Just grit your wheels up with a little bit of sand! Luke, with not a bit of sand left, but also not a bit of aggression in him, is put down by Duncan's outburst. Realizing his mistake, but incapable of apologizing, Duncan instead uses some of his own sand to push Luke up the rest of the hill.

Duncan realized that oh, I snapped, no paint for me now :(. But instead of staying in his shed the next day and grumbling about how he failed Mr. Percival's challenge, he goes to the steam works to apologize. And there, with Luke and Rusty, Mr. Percival instead praises Duncan for helping out Luke (not sure if it was done so out of necessity or guilt, but I'll think about that some other day). Duncan is obviously grateful for the surprise and feels motivated to look at things more on the bright side.

They could have ended the episode there, or they could have just added some crap about Duncan getting the long-awaited coat of paint if they wanted to hit the full run time. But in the end they clearly state that Duncan being grumpy is just Duncan being Duncan, and that doesn't make him any less useful.

Where was I going with this? I'm not sure, like I said these are just chunks of brain rot in a burnt out mind. But there's just something about them not ending with "Duncan will finally change for the better" and instead "Duncan's just Duncan, he's a lil grumpy but we still love him despite it." Some people are just more predisposed to being negative for whatever reason, and I doubt I'm the only one who grew up with the subliminal message of "be happy or be left behind." Maybe it's because of this that Duncan the Humbug really scratched my brain in the right way. The resolution of this episode was by no means one-sided despite how much it only focused on showing Duncan's growth. Obviously, being negative all the time won't make you happy, but forcing yourself to be happy isn't exactly a good or even healthy thing either.

#god i hope this isn't just my burnout speaking #maybe i'll get to winter break and feel better and look back at this and #damn was i ill #there's a chance that this post will make no sense. i will simply show this to my doctor if it doesn't #duncan slowly making his way up my favourites #ttte duncan #ttte #thomas the tank engine #i think i will tag this as #stem major tries out media literacy #capy posting

i breathe deep or i suffocate i'm either numb or i feel everything 

i’ve put the lists that they’re reading here because tumblr has absolutely destroyed the quality of my pictures

what alex sees: - support available - intelligence isn’t affected - good skills in other areas, such as creative thinking and problem solving - not a personal failure - students with dyslexia can be highly successful - gifted in areas such as art, computer science, design, drama, electronics, maths, mechanics, music, physics, and sports

what ayo sees: - lifelong problem that can present challenges on a daily basis - no cure for dyslexia - may benefit from attending a specialist school - long-term educational, social and economic consequences - low self-esteem, behavior problems, anxiety, aggression, and withdrawal from friends, parents and teachers - can prevent a child from reaching his or her potential

#ayo is catastrophising #i just wanna clarify that #i have dyslexia and i didn't find out until i was an adult so i did struggle at school but i found ways of managing #creative people often are dyslexic #it's a lot more common than people realise #i remember getting to uni and having the you're like me experience #almost everyone on my course was dyslexic lol #anyway all that is to say ayo is gonna be fine he's just freaking out right now #the teacher maybe should have either spoken to ayo's parents first or tried to explain a bit more to ayo #but he was trying to do the right thing #also fun fact helena and maisie both have major crushes on mr foster and are very jealous that ayo got called into his office #i had a whole scene written about it but decided not to post it in the end #wow that's a lot of tags #the sims 4 #ts4 #the sims 4 legacy #twfa #secret garden challenge #ayo aremu #alex duncan

anyways having mac tir brainrot and thinking about how (in my OPINIOOON) the best ending for dragon age origins is where the warden spares loghain an easy death and makes him become a grey warden. i think it's a poetic punishment for the guy.

i ALSO think it's best when he dies slaying the archdemon.

like idk i love it when a former hero-turned-villain gets to 'redeem' themselves in death.

it's great. lovely stuff.

#and like im sorry alistair thinks the wardens are great big heroes when theyre absolutely not. #being a warden is a major burden. loghain 'deserved' to become a warden just as much as all the other grey wardens before & after him. #like i get it alistair's a great dude and i love him. #and when i do this i always 'save' him by marrying him off to anora. #so he doesn't have to be killed or fuck off and become a sad dejected drunk. #but lmao duncan was not a perfect saint of a dude either & while i understand alistair's upset. #becoming a grey warden is very much a punishment as it can be a honor.
