I hope he won the blue ribbon!! HE'S SUCH A PERFECT GOOD BOY!!!...

oh yeah, and Morty is, too XDD

Brawler Animals Part 4: Are we there yet theres so many Brawlers oml--

Belle: Hyena. Because Raccoon is too obvious. (Those glasses of hers 🦝) Also known for being a thief, hyenas were too fun to pass up! Not getting too much in the details (because... because), but one subspecies has a matriarchal hierarchy. Ott: Horses, Raccoons (self imposed)

Leon: Owl. While I wouldn't exactly call him wise, Leon is craftier than Nita. The way they fly completely silently and can blend in with trees perfectly makes me think of lizard boy here when he's invisible. Of course, he's still a little baby owl who just learned to fly. Ott: Chameleons, Sharks, Wolves, Ducks.

Barley: Labradoodle. A highly popular dog crossbreed. I was torn between this and Scoodles (mainly for the mustache gain from the Scottish Terrier 😭) but I ultimately went with this choice, for the curly fur, taller stature and the lean look. Ott: Rabbits, Canadians (lol)

Crow: Coywolf. A hybrid species between a coyote and a wolf. There's Crow's solitary vibes, and the fact that coyotes and badgers have been seen hunting together. Isn't that sweet? Include a Tasmanian Devil and we've got the gang. Ott: I dont think he has any animal themes? Lmao.

Squeak: Jellyfish. Comprised of nearly all water, is completely silent (vocally, I headcanon that his squeakiness is the dog toys). Alternatively, he could be a snail/slug. Sticky slime might have been more fitting and he's definitely weird/ugly-cute category... but I'm willing to give him cool/cute points. Ott: N/A?

Mortis: Ferret. I really wasn't sure if I should go with a more "serious" animal, but tbh Mortis actually isn't that serious. Ferrets are energetic, playful and they slink around so much. (It's scary how flexible they are and Mortis is scarily THIN in his model.) They're also very high maintenance pets, and just look at Mortis. Ott: BATS.

Max: Peregrine Falcon. Fastest bird, and a great hunter. Because a cheetah is too obvious. Alternatively, Hummingbird. :3c Ott: Rabbit/Hare (which would have been perfect), Cheetah (self-imposed).

Dyna-Mike: Goat. He's old and grumpy (supposedly). Very energetic. That beard of his too. Because of his mining and environment, he could be associated with mountains. Also, his Dyna-Jumps resemble bouncing goats. Ott: Canary.

'Solar Opposites' Nails 'Rick and Morty' Humor but Is actually Nice?

Hulu's Solar Opposites has something in common with Rick and Morty, streaming all of its eight-episode first season today. The style of animation, the human-meet-aliens comedic through line, the guttural voice of Roiland acting — it is all apparent within moments of the first episode of the series. This is the ideal gift for diehard fans of the Smith family multiverse to accompany five new episodes of Rick and Morty coming to Adult Swim this May. But it is the difference between Solar Opposites and its intergalactic predecessor that makes it a spectacular gem worthy of its own fan-base. Designed by Roiland and former writer Mike McMahan on Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites follows four aliens from Shlorp's distant world. After an asteroid kills their house, adults Korvo (Roiland) and Terry (Thomas Middleditch) flee together with replicants/children Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) and Jesse (Mary Mack) in search of a new planet for their inhabiting species. With them is a "pupa," an adorable living supercomputer that is destined to develop into a planet-destroying apocalypse that will make room for the latest Shlorp. Korvo and Terry have begun the process of preparing the world for their Shlorpian compatriots after a crash landing in a suburban neighborhood ambiguously located somewhere in middle America. For Korvo, that means working diligently to repair the ship of the group and to gather intelligence on the men. For Terry, that means making friends with his neighbors, enrolling Yumyulack and Jesse in high school, taking the pupa to meet labradoodles at the dog park, and otherwise enjoying the multitude of pleasures that domestic life offers. Terry, Korvo, Jesse, and Yumyulack really like each other. This Odd Couple-framing spreads to the replicants in true sitcom fashion. Jesse loves them immensely, though Yumyulack is annoyed by humans. The conflicting definitions of Earthling actions by the pair lead them into plenty of scrambles — one of which, as Jesse points out, is alarmingly similar to the horror film Green Room by Jeremy Saulnier. Yeah, the one with all the neo-Nazis that wield their weapons. The group's adventures can get pretty dark as Rick and Morty do. Unlike Rick and Morty, these challenges are not especially harmful to their ties. Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack and Jesse seem to really like each other for the most part. Discussions on what to do when the pupa turns deadly are few and far between Taco Tuesdays debates, jet skis, Ansel Elgort, the cultural meaning of performative magic, and Terry's sublime range of t-shirts. These animated buddies operate like the Belcher and Simpson families before them because of their innate fondness for each other. Seeing them hang out is just as exciting as the sublime action scenes of the series — offering family strife like an intimate Rubik's Cube.

Let’s Toast to Booze!

By Ben Auxier

This story was originally written for BUGHOUSE! #41 in Chicago. The topic was The Better Drug: Booze or Weed. It was debated between Ben Auxier and Brett Dworski. Auxier won the debate and was chosen as the audience’s favorite debater of the night.

Human beings began creating fermented beverages some twenty thousand years ago. Alcohol has been a staple of the economies and cultures of every civilization since the advent of agriculture. It is, in part, why we are here.

Today there are six hundred bottles of alcohol for every human being on earth, which means that statistically, you... are beer? I don’t know how statistics work.

Now, is any of that accurate? I don’t know. I ran out of time today and didn’t look it up. But by the end of my time here, I will convince you that booze is far superior to its slacker cousin weed.

To get us started, I’d like to propose a drinking game. Every time you think I make a good point, take a drink. Every time you think I make a bad point, take two drinks, and you’ll start to realize I was right all along.

Alcohol is more important than weed

Alcohol is more important to us as a society. And if you don’t believe me, consider this. A hundred years ago we in America outlawed booze for like five minutes and descended into chaos immediately. It was so bad that we repealed the amendment within just a few years. Do you realize what kind of national cooperation it takes to repeal an amendment? Right now we’re sending our kids to school in Kevlar khakis and we still can’t do dick about the Second Amendment because your uncle on Facebook is still pretty sure Obama’s coming for his truck or whatever, but in 1920, somebody took away the beer for a second, and we as a turbulent and divisive nation, came together and said “Whatever it takes, whatever the cost, shoulder to shoulder, I am your brother: BRING. BACK. THE BOOZE!”

We had chaos in the decade or so that alcohol was illegal. On the other hand, weed has been illegal across the board until like, yesterday, and nobody’s raised a stink. Except for the people smoking it. Which brings me to my next point:

Weed smells like a carton of cigarettes made sweaty love to a dance major and it’s time we all talked about it

Look, I know that a conversation with a dude who smells like whiskey isn’t the most pleasant thing, but generally speaking, the stink radius is limited to like, a little ways beyond my beard. By contrast, if someone in the same school district as me decides to light up some Super Skunk, suddenly I’m getting fumigated out of my third floor apartment. I’m not close enough to get the courtesy of a contact high, but at least now all my stuff reeks and my eyes hurt. Thanks, man.

The smell of weed is referred to as “skunky,” by the people who love it. Skunky. The best, most flattering descriptor even the potheads could come up with was “You know that smell that those stripy rat-badgers blow out of their asses as a warning to all living things to stay as far away as possible? This. Smells. Like. That. You want some? For your mouth? Come on.”

The dangers of weed

And look, I don’t want to sound like a D.A.R.E. special up here, but there are some real dangers to weed. And marijuana advocates might say, “But Ben ‘alcohol kills eighty-eight thousand Americans per year,” and “It’s the third most common preventable cause of death,” and “It’s responsible for 31 percent of fatal traffic accidents with around ten thousand annually,” to which I say:

How can we trust the math of someone who’s that high?

But the dangers of weed are far more subtle and insidious. Weed robs the youth of their drive and ambition. It’s given careers to countless brutal cartels and also Seth Rogan, and at some point it’s made us all feel deeply paranoid. Which brings me to my next point:

With booze, you know what you’re getting

Booze is booze. Unless you’re fifteen, you don’t dive into drinking without knowing what to expect. For me, one drink and I feel nice, two and I’m relaxed, three I’m buzzin’, four I’m tipsy, and after that the probability that I’ll start singing Jesus Christ Superstar goes up by 20 percent per drink. It’s simple. It’s predictable.

Cannabis, on the other hand? Imagine this scenario. You’re at a buddy’s house and he offers you an edible. A little cookie. The cookie is gone in a couple of bites. Thirty minutes from now, will you a) feel a little more relaxed, b) start giggling manically, c) lose all ability to move your limbs, or d) be hiding in the bathtub because you’re pretty sure the cat is angry with you.

You have NO. IDEA.

Every time I tell my stoner friends I don’t want to smoke because weed can make me anxious, they always insist it’s all about picking the right strain, but when you ask them what they’re smoking, they know as much about it as they do the breed of their weird dog. Like “Yeah, it’s kind of a hybrid, indica... labradoodle.. sativa settler... husky mix.” You don’t know. I don’t know. And I don’t want to risk it.

In conclusion

My time is running short. There are many points I haven’t had a chance to fully dive into. For instance:

• Alcoholic drinks can actually taste good.

• There are no idiots running around claiming vodka cures cancer.

• Even though weed is now widely legalized, you’re all still buying from your dealers and not paying sales tax; I’m building schools and bridges and shit with my self-destructive habit, what are you doing?

But at the end of the day, we need only recognize this: these are substances that alter our brain chemistry. And in so doing, they tell us things. They are voices. And what those voices say matters.

Weed tells us that we are all eloquent philosophers.

We are not.

It tells us that we are creative geniuses.

We are not.

It tell us that Rick and Morty is compelling television.

But what does alcohol tell us?

It tells us that we can dance.

And we can.

It tells us that we are sexy.

And we are.

It tells us the people around us are sexy

And they are!

It tells us that we can have the courage to live life boldly, ask for what we want, and that if we do, the hangover will be worth it.

And by golly, it will.

So raise a booze with me, to glass.

The dog show after the thanksgiving parade today be like:

I am so obsessed with Dog Morty you don't even KNOW

[ see my post with thoughts about this scene and more ]

Hey guys. . . . so basically. UH ,.. I LOVE THEM THE MOST ??!

LABRADOODLE MORTYYY AT THE DOG SHOW I LOVE YOUUU ! ! ! ! ! ! !

*COUGHS* I totally wasn't anticipating this scene for days before the ep aired only to have my original predictions validated and my dreams come true

LABRADOODLE MORTY LIL CUTE PUP DOG MORTY I CANT GET IT OUT OF MY MIND IT'S TOO ADORABLE AHHHH I HOPE WE GET TO SEE HIM SOON! EVER SINCE I SAW HIM I CAN'T WAIT TO ACTUALLY SEE HIM IN AN EPISODE

AHH I’M SORRY THIS WAS LATE HAZELNUT (for my follower’s reference, this ask was received about 24-ish hours ago!!) BUT OH MY GOODDD THERE IS NEW CONTEXT NOW. THERE IS NO BETTER TIME SO ANSWER… HAVE YOU HEARD?? !

I’VE BEEN JUMPING ALL MORNINGFHFHFHXHFH I’M SO EXCITED‼️‼️‼️❗️❗️

I’m so hyped up that my prediction is right that. . . . I CAN’T HELP MYSELF BUT GIVE A LITTLE PREVIEW!!!

DO WITH THAT WHAT YOU WILL.. . .(except steal trace or repost anywhere at all…my followers may only let their brains chew on this for minute LOL)

proof..PROOF..!! I WAS HERE.. YOU WERE HERE WE WERE HERE WHEN LABRADOODLE MORTY BECOMES REAL RICKFENDING YOUR MORT MORE LIKE WALKING YOUR DOODLE HA. HAA I’M CRAzy GOING NUTS GOING FERAL INSANE. FHFJFJ THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN THIS IS HAVING MY MADE UP CANON ABOUT IT (this drawing is based on the story abt this which I conceived in my imagination this past wednesday! and I drew this on wednesday I WAS UNSTOPPABLE AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO IT BUT NOW…NOW ITS COMING FOR REAL! OH GOD!! OH GOLLY! I’M BREAKING-)

LET’S WAIT AND SEE!!! I CAN’T WAIT TO GUSH ABOUT THIS EPISODE LATER..IT LOOKS SOO PROMISING!! PEACE OUT!!!! !! 💙💙💙

note: don’t tag as r*ck*rty. i don’t do that shit

What do you think is gonna happen in the next episode

Hello!! I made a post on Wednesday discussing somethings I thought could happen, but I definitely have some new thoughts now that we’ve seen the cold open!

I didn’t, at first, realize that the “Adventure Notes” were literally just notes about the adventures R&M had already BEEN on XD So that changes a few things!

I’m reallly anticipating that “Morty as a little puppy dog with Rick entering him into a dog show” clip whenever it comes up, so I’m still hoping (naively XD) that it could still be in this episode.

I’m also anticipating that clip at the end of the trailer where Rick says “We’re back, baby!” That should either show up as a result of Morty motivating him to return to adventuring in this episode, OR in the finale (I vote the finale, since I believe Rick will still need help with feeling more like himself again in these coming episodes!)

Plus that clip with Rick evading the killer plant in his sub-basement XD I just can’t help but think he looks so adorably shy and timid in that one. I hope that one comes in soon XXDDd

I was thinking this whole time that the dog clip might just show up in some form of anthology episode, for example the memory episode! But my thoughts about that and “Americkan Wet Kuat Summer” (is that the name lol?) have changed by now lmao.

I’ve been more inclined to think that this episode could be an anthology episode of some sort! Maybe this ‘audit’ might show us some of these adventures Morty had written about (including the “Labradoodle Brain Heist” that I discussed)!

But I know it will also involve: (1) Morty getting stuck inside that claw machine in a certain, [most likely] alien arcade for an X amount of time, before the glass somehow gets smashed outwards from the machine… and (2) That giant floating geode or rock or rock-looking entity that seems like it could possess some cosmic ‘auditing powers’ XXDD

BUT ONE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS: HOW DID RICK GO FROM HAVING THOSE PAPERS CRUMPLED UP TO HAVING THEM STACKED NEATLY IN HIS HAND??? Did that action get reversed, somehow?? Did it have something to do with the powers of that cosmic rock? It seems like it may have VERY neatly stacked the cards as well! My guess is that is has some kind of telepathic organization powers, and more.

…Or is this a really weird animation error (I have wayyy more faith in this show’s animation team by now than that XDD)

I’M GONNA GO OUT FOR A BANANA SPLIT IN THE NEAR FUTURE THOSE WERE MY CONDITIONS AND I WON AND WE AGREE THAT I SHALL GET MY SPLIT YEAHHH

OH MY GOOOODD HE WAS TEHRE!!
