Ok so the Ernest character was developed for commercials; Jim Varney was a professionally trained actor who also did standup, and had done commercials before as a different character, but Ernest really took off. His shtick is that he's an annoying neighbour who always pesters the never-seen and unspeaking POV character, Vern, about which products to buy. There are several running gags such as Vern kicking Ernest off a ladder, Ernest getting his hands slammed in a window, getting electrocuted, etc.
Eventually disney found out about Ernest's popularity and decided to fund some movies about him. The first four Ernest movies (Goes to Camp, Saves Christmas, Goes to Jail, and Scared Stupid) were theatrically released and produced by Touchstone Pictures. They kept making movies when the disney contract ended, but these ones were lower budget and the rest after Rides Again were straight-to-video (Goes to School, the only installment directed by Coke Sams rather than John Cherry, was apparently planned as a theatrical release, but that didn't pan out). Between Christmas and Jail they also had a short-lived CBS show called Hey Vern, It's Ernest! which won two Emmys, one for the title sequence and the other for Varney's multi-character performance. They even released a talking Ernest doll as a tie-in!
-🧢 (< that'll be my emoji signature since you said you wanted one)
i feel proud that id already known a lot of this. honestly my favourite part about ernest's character was that he was sort of every cartoon stereotype wrapped up into one character played by a real person in live action. i honestly believe that's what made his character so fun to watch, too.
i didnt know they had a cbs show though!! but im not surprised it won emmys; that was way overdue. jim varney deserves that and more.

Came across some slasher band AU art by @arkunder and started frothing at the mouth
I like to imagine they'd do really performative concerts with the ghostface persona, like "killing" actresses on stage and being overall destructive to the point of losing gigs in nicer places so their fans don't completely wreck everything in a mosh pit (that they initiated) lmfao
Stu's the campiest bitch on the block (as expected)

And what happened to the blonde you were looking for a name for!? (the one with the churro in his hairstyle)
Oh, Wayne I believe is what was decided upon.
I'm trying to rework his design a little bit, so I don't have a recent doodle of him at the moment.

to be the honest there was actually a very simple way they could’ve gotten me to like ruka, and it’s by occasionally having had him discreetly cough into a white handkerchief before quickly hiding the bloodsoaked evidence of his failing constitution in shame. and on his deathbed he should’ve been like, “oh no, i am not terribly frightened. for soon i shall see mama, and my childhood dog bendicò. it is simply my time to return to the arms of the lord our savior in the clouds, and i welcome my own fate with alacrity just as i have faith in all of god’s endeavors.” and then he could’ve say whatever bullshit he wanted about how he truly loved juri or whatever. idc

That post about everything being "Nah" I felt in my core. I'll always respect people who identify differently but when they ask me "what's your pronouns?" Or "where do you lie romanticaly?" I'm just "eh call me whatever you want I guess" or *I don't feel romantically for much anything" maybe cause online people always thought I'm one gender and irl people always thought I was the other so I just responded with "sure I guess"
and it's honestly such an easier way to live ngl... like when it comes to people who Know that i use they/them, it hurts to hear my given pronouns. but when it comes to strangers and just people who i haven't told, it's like... "yeah. ok. ill put on this hat" it feels a bit like a performance. it feels Mischievous, even! ohoho, they've been Tricked!

Why the fuck am I being accused of stalking lmao
Inb4 "how did you find this out if you're not a stalker" yeah I haven't organically thought about this person until someone else pointed it out to me.
Like I 100% understand not wanting hetalia fans to follow you because I'm fully aware of the reputation hetalia has lmao. I just followed this person because a friend of mine from the same region as them recommended them as an artist for a post I was writing + I liked their art and was mindlessly scrolling through tags that their art was in anyways so I thought why not.
I've been specifically been accused of stalking their friends list (which doesn't exist on tumblr but ok) and used this stalking to comission one of their friends some of my ocs, which they declined and I accepted. Has it occurred to you that I wasn't stalking your fucking "friends list" I literally scrolled through your account and saw that you reblogged someone offering very affordable commissions and thought I might ask for one holy shit fuck off. I'm sorry I'm pissed because I've ACTUALLY been stalked on the internet , you can dislike me for making hetalia ocs but do not fucking accuse me of stalking over asking a friend of yours for a commission
