idk if anyone has made an isopod one so i decided to create this.

FUCKING IPOD.

Hey look, a bonus episode! We reviewed the scrapped plans for Archie Sonic from Karl Bollers and Ken Penders.

New video! Tonight, we inch closer to the end of our second cour of Archie Sonic, and some people get poisoned.

It's 4/13 Homestuck day and this stupid little dumbass had a character arc about being bisexual and because of that I did too

Honestly Maria Robotnik is the funniest character to exist in the Sonic series. She's a PG kidz bop version of the action hero's beautiful dead wife. She's never been to Earth before. Her narrative purpose was not only to tragically die young, but to have a second way of dying young just in case the bullet didn't work. She bonds with the secret government superweapon. Her sacrifice to save the superweapon is later retconned to be future-proofing earth from an alien invasion. She gets murdered as a commentary on American paranoia and conspiracy during the cold war. Three unrelated men become cold-hearted killers hellbent on revenge for her. She's related to "The Eggs Man"

what the fuck is your damage Sonic

New video! Today, tensions run high with mystery, retcons and controversy. CW// sexual assault (yes, really)

I'm glad that in and out of fandom everyone mutually agreed the Conductor's Wife is insanely hot

I'm going to eat the pronoun burger from Dairy Queen

oh yeah I watched the rest of it and it was pretty cool

I watched the first episode of The Owl House

I haven’t bothered finding a new show to watch in a couple years now, and this one seemed sufficiently Steven Universe-y. Might as well give it a shot.

The art direction is quite nice, hits a lot of the modern cartoon beats without being outright identical to any of them, and the fantasy architecture is pretty cool. I’m not sure about the pronounced “upper lip” thing a lot of the human character designs have going on, though. Looks like those Rhythm Heaven choir boys.

Main character Luz seems nice enough. I think the struggle of being forced to conform to society when you don’t want to is a relatable one, but they illustrate it by having her accidentally get several people attacked by snakes, which feels a little overboard (yes yes BUT IT IS A CARTOON except they’re still talking about this like this is solely harmful to her own development rather than harming others) for how not-sorry she appears to be.

This will probably fade with time, but it is so weird hearing Wendie Malick voice any cartoon character who isn’t 100% toxic all the time. I keep waiting for Eda to take the witch mask off and reveal Beatrice Horseman, telling Luz she’s punishing her for being alive.

Cute skull dog demon guy…voiced by Alex Hirsh. I’m gonna be honest, whenever he’s not doing Soos or Grunkle Stan, he sounds a little strained. I’m not saying “no”, I like him, but I dunno, sounds like it hurts to do the voice.

Again, I know it’s a kids show, but having the “it’s okay to not fit in” messages hammered in so hard as for the villain’s prison to be called the “Conformatorium” is a little on the nose for me.

And what the hell is it with kids shows softening up conspiracy theorists? Steven Universe did this too. Believing that the world is flat and/or secretly controlled by reptilian aliens is not some wacky quirk you get by being autistic, it’s not some peaceful non-conformist belief system. That shit ranges from “extremely unhealthy coping mechanism” to “believing we need a second holocaust” (hey, know what noun in “reptilians control the media” used to be a real-world ethnic group?), and neither of those are harmless, they VERY OFTEN lead to dangerous behavior, because they’re not built to reach stable people.

This might sound strange, but I appreciate that Eda’s body can apparently be dismembered and reassembled without harm. That’s usually a power given to less-important and usually less-humanoid characters, and never to women.

Okay, I’m gonna be real here, they kinda lost me at the end with Luz deciding she’s staying here instead of going home. Not only am I not a fan of “lying to the parents” subplots (which I am almost certain this will become), but what she just experienced was complete fantasy beyond anything the entire population on Earth has ever known, as well as being extremely dangerous. Even if she were still going to avoid the summer camp, I feel like most people on the planet would want to take a breather back home first, but she doesn’t even flinch.

Anyway these are all pretty nitpicky and I still had fun, so I’ll probably watch more at some point. I definitely feel some of the Gravity Falls energy here, so I have faith it’ll almost certainly get better.

Gravity Falls the kinda show that deserves a surprisingly-good licensed PS2-era platformer

Adventure Time the kinda show that deserves an avant-garde soulslike, set in the universe but not featuring the principle cast

Twitter doesn't even try anymore. It just serves you the fascism on a silver fucking platter with no way to opt out. There's no algorithm anymore. No matter how many times you hit block or mute it will just keep giving you transphobes, "race realists", and dudes who jerk it to anime children.
