Basically a review of OP episode 503 ig

Currently rewatching post-war arc (in the dub so I don't have any screenshots for u guys sry) and theres a few things id like to point out.

During a conversation Dadan once had with Garp, they were talking about Roger. Garp said that even if they were facing powerful enemies, he would never run away because he wouldnt dare leaving his comrads behind; it wasnt an option for him. Obviously we see this in Ace. But ALSO, isnt this what he did with Katakuri? It was a little different cuz of the setting mostly, but he separated himself from his crew to fight off katakuri, and lied to them about being okay so they didn't worry (he was already getting his ass kicked by then, so he just made that stupid smile and told them not to worry (or smth like that, I can remember the exact line) (that smile was so gross and fake cuz he fucking sucks at lying). Also he said roger destroyed a buncha soldiers cuz they mouthed off his men. That's what Ace tried to do but instead he died. :(

"The pain he went through just made him hold on tighter to the ones he loved" -Garp, about Roger. "Despite his flaws and his bad reputation, his crew still trusted him completely." -also Garp, about Roger. These both sound a lot like Luffy AND Ace.

When Dogra got home and told everyone about Sabo's ship being shit down and him dying (which we all know didnt happen, thank fuck), (by the way the absolutely lost looks on Ace's and Luffy's faces with the sudden silence hurt like a bitch), Luffy started crying and said "WE SHOULDNT'A LET HIM GO, IT'S ALL OUR FAULT". Which fucking says something about him (thinking of episodes 913-915 when he goes fucking berserk, but before that he learns that Kaido probably killed Tama and he says "I should've escorted them..!" (*ugly cries*)). Ace also reacted pretty similarly-- "Sabo...why didn't we go back into town and bring him back here?! We're so stupid!" And he gets mad and asks where he could find the bastard that killed him (obviously not getting a good answer since it was a fucking celestial dragon ugh). That is what Luffy does, in present time. He results to anger first, not sadness. Not sure when he learned to do that but I'm 99 percent sure it was from Ace. Also the blaming himself thing? High chance thats ALSO from Ace. Who else would teach him that self hating behaviour?!

Dadan pins Ace down to stop him from going after the Celestial Dragon to calm him down, telling him he cant do anything, he's not big or strong enough to do anything and he'll be killed as soon as he tries anything, especially since it was the whole country -the whole WORLD- that killed Sabo. He can't do anything. And then they tied him to a tree outside to let him cool off. Oh yeah then he also told luffy to stop crying like a little girl or else he'll- (and he didn't finish the sentence). ...Ok maybe thats why luffy started being more angry than sad.

This is where things get a little more :( . Ace reads the letter Sabo sent them before he died. As he reads, he walks to the end of the forest, to a cliff overlooking the ocean. And starts fucking bawling (btw the voice actor who had Ace's childhood part did not do a very good job, no where near as in character and real as Coleen Clickenberg did with all of Luffy's crying scenes. She was spot on.) ...do you see where im going with that? He isolated himself before letting himself feel sad. It was all rage and then calm beforehand. Y-you see where im going with that. Dont make me say it.

"How's Luffy doing, is he any better?" "Well...he hasnt been eating much, but he still eats twice as much as we do". Oh look, That's what happened after Ace died too. There's a behavioral pattern that hasnt gone away. Not sure why it wouldve tho.

Luffy is mopeing, lying on the ground in a similar setting ace was at when he cried. Hes thinking about some of the things Sabo said, like how theyre gonna sail the seas together, and he clenches his hands into tight, shaking fists. After Ace shows up and hits him, and talking abt some other stuff I don't feel like relaying, Luffy tightens his grip on the straw hat and tells ace, whimpering, he wants to get stronger (and stronger, and stronger, and stronger and stronger and....) And he wants to be the strongest in the world. "And then, I'll protect everyone. I won't lose anyone I care about". He gets stronger mainly to protect the people he loves. And then he asks ace to promise he won't die. To which he hits Luffy again and tells him he should be more worried about himself dying first. And then the famous line that hurts like a bitch- "I'm NEVER going to DIE!" And then this hopeful music comes on (fucking damnit funimation, u gotta do this? Really??) Also he says he wont die as long as he has a wussy little brother to protect. ...FUCK. Ok, the fist clenching is a thing he does all the fucking time, usually when he gets mad. This was different because he wasnt mad, he was sad. He clenched his fist because thinking about it hurt. Which, huh, sounds a lot like his whole episode after waking up from his 2 week coma on the polar tang. To try and stop the mental pain of those horrendous memories, he resulted to physically pain. He hurt himself. So, He clenches his fists in times like these to fight off the mental pain and the urge to cause himself physical pain. Guys, our boy is bad at emotions, help him. ....ok this paragraph is longer than I anticipated so ill dumb down the rest of it ig. Next part, him asking ace to promise he wont die. The music, the body language, the over change in mood- this comforts him. He stopped hiding his face and silently sobbing after ace said this. OH YEAH! didn't he tell jinbe not to die when they parted ways in Totto Land? And then, hes missing still in Wano and we see Luffy is worried....but convinced Jinbe will show up. Again, this comforts him. Hes nervous cuz someone KOFF KOFF ACE broke that promise once. But jinbe is his crew mate so he trusts him, thank god.

"-But whoever did it, they must be opposed to freedom." The whole freedom thing? That runs through Luffy's blood and spirit.His brothers fought for it, his dad is the man who strives to give everyone freedom basically, and Luffy himself has seen enough of the OPPOSITE of freedom to be so, so much more than just against it. Hence why he of course was so eager to free the slaves in Sabaody, the kids in punk hazard, the toys in dressrosa, the country of Wano from Kaido's tyrany. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree huh.

I dont think Luffy would remember his promise with Shanks if it werent for his brothers putting feul to his dream. It was a stupid bet at first; he just wanted to beat Shanks, right then. But after meeting Sabo and Ace, he found the opposite of freedom and human rights. And then he wanted, REALLY wanted, to become the free-est man in the world; the pirate king.

Last one i promise ok? This one is less connected to whats going on in the episode at this point, but something I noticed (its so obvious everyone has seen this ok) was when luffy cries, his posture is always open. He doesn't curl in on himself like many people would do (I know I would, lol). He doesnt hug himself, protect himself. He's just, opened up to whoever is watching, literally. This has a little more to do with something I haven't talked about much in this post yet; his self-destruction issues. I said he tried to hurt himself when he felt mental pain, which is definitely similar. But he cries and doesnt try to protect or comfort himself, like he doesn't have that programmed into his mind. Reminder that he only wants to live because of his dream, and if he doesnt have his dream, he wants to die. (Whoa.). Ok, so no self preservation mechanism at all rlly. Hes basically ride or die. So, when things hurt so much that he cries, he has no hope left. He just kinda...dies inside. So this was mildly different after sabo died. Yes we saw him just standing there, sobbing. But the next day he's still crying, and instead he's laying on the ground. I saw that and the voice in the back of my head told me he wanted to be a part of that lifeless dirt beneath him. Then, Ace walked over. And his words made him feel the hope that I told you about earlier, and he sat up into a sitting position. And HUGGED HIS LEGS TO HIS CHEST. There's some self preservation! Some hope! Some will to exist, to live! Something we saw none of as he sat in front of his brothers corpse, shutting down. He sat there, open to his enemies, incapable of protecting himself. Practically anyone couldve killed him right then and there. I think he mightve liked that, at that moment. Like thank god he has that stupidly good luck cuz if he didn't I swear someone couldve thrown and axe or FUCKING ANYTHING AT THAT MOMENT and hed be dead becuase he never physically or mentally prepared himself. On purpose.

Our poor boy needs some fucking attention and therapists. (Insert my rant post about how jinbe is on the crew primarily for anger management and therapy, not just being a helmsman.) Ugh, smh ugly cries

Aaaaand thats about the end of the episode. Theres so many little tics and peesonality traits that you notive thru this episode, and I only noticed them cuz im rewatching this part of the show for like the third time. I don't react as much as the first time of course but some things are definitely sadder after knowing what's going on and what will happen later on.

Moral of the story (post)? I think luffy is almost equally as alike -if not, more similar to roger as ace is. Also, high key genuinely think Luffy met like NO ONE but Garp before he met Shanks and his crew. What the fuck was his first like 5 years of being alive like? (He wantd to be a pirate cuz Garp didnt want that. Rebellious baby asshole. And then shanks made things worse, in a good way for luffy. And then ace and sabo made that worse thing worse for a good reason. Luffy lives...for those influences. And that is fucking it. Why.

Oh thanks tumblr for moving my picture to the bottom of the post u fucking idiot

- holy SHIt this movie does not hold back on the blood. but, wheres my conch explosion?? if ur gonna show him getting hit u gotta show the conch exploding. although, the conch means like nothing in this movie lmao

- okay wow piggys dead body cool cool cool

- ralph fucking YEETED that kid to the ground lmao

- okay, ralph crying?? good acting

tl;dr/conclusion/my thoughts: hooooo boy so i see why everyone likes 1960 one better.

first, lets start with the obvious: why this isnt lord of the flies. because its not. if this wasnt telling me that its lord of the flies, i would think of it as that, really. first off, the conch. the conch represents civility, it brings them together. its important. when piggy dies, it dies, representing how all civility is now gone. i maybe saw the conch three times this movie. didnt do anything.

second, the pilot, captain whatever. the point of the beast to me is that they made it up. sure, the corpse was real, but it didnt pose a threat, it was simply a corpse. they made it into what it was, therefore proving that they are the beast. sure, the pilot here was harmless, but he grbbed a boy’s foot and was therefore making himself a possible threat. maybe its not a big deal i guess.

third, the characters. the point of lord of the flies is that they are rich kids who havent gone through anything. theyre the perfect, spoiled kids who havent done anything wrong. half of them are in choir. chOIR. in this movie, lets take jack for example. they said he stole a car and got sent to military school. no. the point of jack is that he was a perfect kid. leader of choir. he was manipulitive and got even ADULTS to trust him. its part of hs character, showing that this perfect choir leader kid went fucking insane to prove how literally everyone can be evil. also samneric???? the direspect!! they were loyal to ralph until they were tied up and FORCED to join jack, and even then, after roger like beat the shit out of them, they were STILL loyal. fuck you.

so those are the MAIN reasons why it wasnt lotf.

now, what i liked i guess.

the swearing was NOT lotf, and it didnt fit with the story, but ill admit that i laughed, so i guess thats a plus.

second, i liked how they showed the gore, i guess? sounds weird, hear me out. lord of the flies is a gruesome, violent, awful book. theres descriptions of death in detail, and im so glad they showed it. when simon’s body was there, literally torn to shreds? the shock of it, the true savagery you see that these boys murdered him SO violently, is amazing, because thats the essence of lotf. simons death shows how theyve lost all their civility, and showing such a gruesome corpse really brings that through. so good job.

and now, of course, the obvious: thats not the characters i pictured when i read the story. simon doesnt look like that, ralph doesnt look like that, jack doesnt look like that.

where did the choir go, too? forgot to mention that, and i think that also adds into the whole, theyre supposed to be perfect kids and then become savage thing. also, the choir was a group. they voted for jack and went with him for a reason.

so yea, thats that. dont know why people would read this lmao but thats my thoughts!!!! i just need to keep myself busy when i watch movies and to make sure i focused, i figured id just write down my thoughts as i went. if u wanna watch for free, look up lord of the flies 1990 google drive.

;)))) and yea im posting this at 230 am lmao why not

#lord of the flies #lotf #lotf 1990

insert funny text here

[Images: The first image is of the "Welcome to Boring, Oregon" sign. The second image is off a pair of black sneakers kicking a pair of footprints in the dirt underneath the sign. The third image is of a woman in a full black outfit -Black shoes, black jeans, black hoodie, and black beanie- sitting on the ground in the same spot where the man from earlier was. Both middle fingers are straight up, though there is a wide grin on her face.]

~~~~~~~~~

[A Twitch stream comes to life. On the screen, a pair of black-sneaker-covered feet is quickly striding down a paved road. "Kon'nichiwa," A high-pitched voice begins, "And welcome to... Hell." The camera flicks upwards sharply, showing a neon-lit 7/11 gas station, sharply outlined against the pitch-black night sky. There are only two cars in the parking lot. One is a dirty red convertible Jeep in the employee's area; The other is a nondescript black car with the headlights still on and the engine still running.

The camera flips views. We're now met with a worm's-eye view of a snowy white face with a single red circle in the center. Bright yellow eyes sparkle with mirth as the woman fights back a grin. "So, for anyone who isn't aware, here's a summary of what's about to go down. My name is Japan, I'm an anthropomorphic country, and I'm about to absolutely destroy one of my fellow nations. Well, he's not a nation anymore, but still. He called me a name in the group chat, so I called him Old Man, so he took the obvious route and challenged me to a duel in a 7/11 parking lot. Ya'know, like you do."

Japan shakes her head and giggles. "Also, thank you oh so very much, Twitter user "rockyobody", for informing me of the antique weaponry shop in Kelso. They did indeed carry battle-axes." To punctuate her statement, Japan reaches over her shoulder and lifts the weapon attached to her back out of its holder by a few inches. "I have dubbed my newfound traveling companion Jerry, and he will take many a life in his time on this Earth."

A new voice cuts through the autumn air, strong and deep. "Did you bring the matches, девочка?" They demand. Japan changes the camera once again. Leaning against the black car are two men- One is short and chunky, with round cheeks and long, fluffy hair. 7 red stripes and 6 white, broken only by a square of blue dotted with stars, are emblazed on his face. A white hoodie with the words Designated Peacekeeper is quickly thrown onto him when he sees Japan approach. He flashes her a smile and raises one hand in a wave.

The other man is incredibly tall, almost unnaturally so. A long, military green winter coat hangs loosely from his body- It obviously used to fit him a lot better, maybe when he was wider, or more muscular. His face is scarred and weather-beaten, a leather eyepatch over his right eye. A hammer and sickle, golden and gleaming, sits neatly in the center of the leather. A fluffy brown ushanka is slightly lopsided on his head.

"Well?" He questions. He was the one who spoke before; A harsh accent cuts through his words.

Japan responds by raising a small box of matches in front of the camera. "I gotch'yo damn matches, 老人." She snarks back. The taller man raises a single eyebrow and pushes himself off of the car. "'Meri, pop the trunk," He demands. 'Meri', looking taken aback, steps away from the car and crosses his arm. "Do it'cha self, ya lazy bastard."

Despite the insults, his companion gives him a warm smile and slips around the back of the car. Japan joins them in the parking lot before he comes back around. "So, Ame, he really managed to rope you into moderating this?" She gestures to his hoodie. He chuckles light-heartedly and nods. "Yeah. You wouldn't believe the things he told me when I originally declined."

Japan snorts. "I can believe a lot of things, America."

"At first it was the regular bouts of loving insults, but then it dissolved into really weird nicknames."

"Like?"

"Like 'My little biscuit and gravy'."

"...What?"

America just laughs and waves away the question. "What's taking you so long, sugah?" He drawls, twisting at an odd angle to lean back and glance at the trunk of the car. There's a moment of silence before the man he's addressing mutters, "My... weapon... maybe a bit stuck."

Japan and America both giggle to each other for a few heartbeats before America cooes, "Does this mean we're going home, dear?" The slightly angry response is immediate. "Absolutely not, дорогой," The man spits, appearing at Japan's shoulder. "'Proper edicit', as you so often say, dictates that, as the man who called for the duel, I am not allowed to back out, even if my sword is stuck in the trunk."

"You made me bring a whole fuckin' axe when you get a sword? Sov, my good man, you are an ass."

'Sov' chortles and pats Japan on the head. "Such is life, девочка. You would have an unfair advantage if I let you bring what you wanted. You have no experience with a battle-axe; I have no experience with a sword. It is therefore a fair fight." He ruffles her hair a bit before turning back to America. "In all seriousness, the sword is probably tearing up the fabric on the inside of your trunk." He announces. America swears in a few different languages as he sprints to the other end of his car.

There's a small chime as the door to the 7/11 opens. A pimple-faced teenager peeks his head out. "Hey, uhm- I have no idea what's happening right now, but, uh... I don't think you guys are allowed to have weapons on the property." He nods towards America, who's struggling to rip the sword of out the spot where it's lodged itself in his trunk.

Japan quirks a brow and crosses her arms. Her phone goes a bit lopsided as she does so. "Oh?" Is all she says. She could possibly look intimidating, but the effect, evidently, isn't very strong, as the teen gives her an unamused look. "Yeah. I could possibly over-look that fact if you guys were to, like... scare away any customers who try to approach for a little bit, though..." He trails off and slips back inside the store. Japan scoffs. "Rude."

There's a loud yell of "Fuck!" from the next to where America should be- He's currently on the ground, a sword in his lap. "You're paying for the repairs to my poor car," He snaps, gesturing to the bits of fabric stuck to the sword's blade. Sov's face softens a bit. "I was planning on doing just that," He remarks, moving to help America to his feet. The Westerner blows a bit of hair out of his face once he's on his feet. "This had better be worth it."

"Oh, it will be," Sov says, the steely look returning to him. He picks up the blade clumsily and holds it with clear inexperience. America sighs softly and squeezes his eyes shut for just a moment. "God, this is gonna be hard to watch. You can't even hold the sword right."

Sov looks confused. "There's a wrong way to hold a sword?"

"There's a wrong way to do everything, hon."

Japan grins with a sickly-sweetness and sets her phone onto a newspaper box, positioning it to take in the whole parking lot. She steps onto the far right, Sov standing opposite her on the other side. America scurries over to in-between the gas pumps, a chunk of fabric tied to a stick clutched in his hand. "Alright, I want to see a fuckin' dirty fight," He begins, looking first at Japan, then at Sov. "Frickin' bite each other if you have to. I want to see some blood. Japan, you marked your stream as mature, right?"

"Uh..."

"Dumbass, go do that."

Japan reluctantly complies, marching over to her phone. "Alright, I'm gonna stop the stream and start up a new one marked mature. If you want to watch the actual fight, you'll need to go to that one. See you in a few seconds, lads."

The stream ends]

[A new stream opens up on the parking lot again. Japan is back in her original spot, standing rather cockily, her arms crossed behind her back, her spine straight, slightly tip-toed. America clears his throat. "Alright, like I said earlier- Dirty fight. Nothing is illegal, aside from injuring anyone or anything that isn't your opponent. That includes me, the 7/11 worker, an animal that passes by, a gas pump, a tire on a car, anything."

"Fighters, get ready."

Japan suddenly smirks and slips the battle-axe into her hands with ease. "It was bold of you to assume I had no experience with a battle-axe before, Sov." She comments, getting into an offensive stance. Sov goes slack for a moment before resuming his own way of standing with renewed vigor. "...This is fine," He mutters distractedly. Japan's grin only widens.

"And... Go!"

America flicks his flag down, and the fight begins. Japan shoots forward first, swinging in a downward slope towards Sov's legs. Sov jumps backward and jolts his arms into action, barely managing to block Japan's next move. He starts to loudly swear to himself as he continued to struggle to go on the defensive, cursing himself, the ground, the sky, Japan, and even America. "Сукин сын!" He yelps as Japan spins on her heel, around him, and cuts through the fabric of his coat, through to his thigh. The green starts to turn red as the wound begins to bleed.

Sov just shrugs off the coat and tosses it aside. Underneath, he's wearing a black turtleneck and dark grey jeans, as well as black leather boots that stop just below his knees. America lets out a low whistle.

Japan laughs a bit and starts to jog backwards, towards her original spot. "Bad move, 老人," She snarks. Sov growls a bit and bolts after her. She slips past each of his swings like sand through someone's fingers, leading him in a circle before booking it back towards America's car. The Westerner yelps in fear for his vehicle, but Japan emerges from behind it not a moment later, a jug of gasoline in her hands. She runs away from the parking lot and out into the darkness.

"Мошенника!" Sov yells, coming to a stop. He stands there for a moment, panting, before a bright flash from the opposite end of the parking lot has him spinning and raising his sword in defense. Japan appears in the black, her weapon now (quite literally) dripping with flames as she spits on a match and puts it out. "Let's get this party started," She hisses, hefting her axe. The flaming gasoline seems to not affect her as she grips the blazing handle and charges at Sov.

Her opponent stumbles in an attempt to get away, cursing in an odd mix of English, Russian, and, occasionally, Chinese, almost dropping his weapon with how quickly he's attempting to block her attacks.

"Y'know," Japan chokes out, beads of sweat running down her skin, causing her hair to stick to the back of her neck, "I'm glad I put my phone on silent beforehand. If- If it was on vibrate, I can imagine it would have vibrated off of the stand by now."She finishes her sentence with a grunt and her axe makes contact with Sov's arm, causing the man to let out a small noise of pain. Japan wretches herself back, tripping over her own feet from the weight of the weapon. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," Sov mutters, clutching at his arm in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Japan smirks. "Had enough?"

"You wish, Potter," America chuckles to himself.

"What is this, a porno?" Sov spits.

Japan starts to giggle as she momentarily drops her axe. "God, this is tiring, I haven't fought anyone in a while."

Sov makes an attempt to lift his sword, but gasps as his wounded arm seizes up. "Shit, Japan- Okay. We're both tired. I'm bleeding out of my ass and my arm. Are- Will you hold it against me if I... Surrender, I suppose? I'm far too old and sick for this."

Japan stands in silence for a few seconds before sighing heavily and nodding. She plops down onto the ground rather suddenly, squeezing her eyes shut. "I won't hold it against you."

"Good," Sov grunts, sitting down as well. America pauses before letting out a long, dramatic groan and waving his flag. "Fight's over, I suppose," He whines, marching over to Sov. "That was anti-climactic as balls," He mutters as soon as he's close enough to his friend. Sov nods distractedly. "Indeed it was. Be glad she didn't kill me- Then you'd have to explain a dead body to the poor boy in the store."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about him."

"Hah, same."

The rest of the stream passes in relative silence as Japan sits on the pavement to rest. America is bandaging Sov's arm, muttering insults as well as cutesy nicknames as he does so. After around ten or so minutes of mostly nothing, Japan slides her gaze over to her phone, makes a small noise of surprise, hauls herself to her feet, strides over, and ends the stream.]

Intronalysis part 1

Hello Medespelers! I’m Hazel, and this is a new series (of three parts) where I analyse the intro’s of the Sanders Sides videos. To catch all references and forshadowing that are easily overlooked.

I didn’t have a name for this yet, so I’ll just call it Intronalysis. It’s essentially a sub section of my lore talk series anyway. In this first part, I will discuss all episode intros of season 0, aka the first seven episodes of the series. Enjoy!

Episode 1 My True Identity

The very first Sanders Sides video, which came out back in 2016. For a fan of the series, this episode feels messy and maybe little off. That’s because Thomas had never expected this video to become so popular, so treated this like a one time thing where he talks to his Logic, Morality and Creativity. Only those three: Anxiety gets introduced in the third video.

So where does this humble beginning start? In bed. Yeah. Thomas is surrounded by stuffed animals and asks the audience for a couple more seconds, as he presses snooze on his phone alarm. Relatable, not very deep, and it didn’t have to be.

Episode 2 Way Too Adult

This is a video concerning a subject everyone has to face: becoming a responsible adult. Thomas fustratingly aknowledges that he’s worn the same shirt a lot. The ‘circle shirt’ had been an inside joke for early fans, because Thomas wore it a lot both in his vines and youtube videos.

Episode 3 Taking On Anxiety

Anxiety joins the cast in this video as the series’ first antagonist. In the intro, Thomas exclaims he doesn’t give a fork. It is bleeped however, giving the impression of swearing. This is a reference to his reputation as someone who doesn’t swear, but has been making jokes about it. For example, in his vines Thomas sometimes used the loop to his advantage, bleeped a swear (while saying something else, like this intro) or cutting it off.

Episode 4 Lying To Myself

The first musical episode, and the first one with all four main sides present. At the start, Thomas holds up a pokéball and says 2016 has evolved in 2017. Or devolved. This is a reference to the new year, (this video came out on the second of January) and the cartoonseries Pokémon. Thomas has made a lot of references to this series, most notably in his vine series Pokémon Pranks with Friends.

Episode 5 Dark Side of Disney

This was a wonderful episode which gave us prinxiety content, and even bonding over their shared passion: Disney. This intro was the first one for which I had to do some real research. The phrase “And now, our featured presentation.” was part of a company bummer (a short video clip on every VHS tape, to see who it was released by. Later also on DVDs). In this case, Touchstone Pictures. That might not sound familiar, but the name Disney probably does.

Touchstone Pictures is a film distribution label through which the Walt Disney Studios release films which have mature themes, darker tones and are aimed more at adults. Contrary to the own label, which has a fantastical and often kid-friendly marketing.

Thomas, being in his late twenties, has probably seen this message on several films as a kid since Touchstone Pictures released films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Good Morning Vietnam and suprisingly, the first release of The Nightmare Before Chrismas.

As someone who is both Gen Z and raised in a non-english speaking country, I actually didn’t know what this was a reference to. So this was fun to research!

Episode 6 I’m In A Disney Show

The video opens with Thomas being dressed in a robe and round glasses, snickering to himself about the Harry Potter book in his hand. He also holds a wand. He then realises he’s being watched and tries, then fails to cover up and accidentily reveals he does this all the time.

Why such an obvious reference to the Harry Potter franchise, while the rest of the video doesn’t mention it or seemingly has nothing in common with it? Well, my theory about this intro is that it isn’t about Harry Potter at all, but it’s about Thomas dressing up as something he enjoyed as a child, and still does. Which relates to the point of the video, which is that Thomas got to play aka, “dress up and pretend” in a show for Disney (Something he enjoyed as a kid, and still does). Does that make sense? I think it does.

Episode 7 Mind vs Heart

If Dark Side Of Disney was the prinxiety episode, this was the logicality one. With a lot of relatable cut-away scenes and onesies?!! How or Why are not important, the sides have onesies.

Thomas starts the intro with a seemingly boastful sentence about how this is his vlog and all other vlogs are just as good in their own right and need to be respected as such. Then he strikes a ‘cool’ pose and airhorns toot.

Once again, I think we should focus on the symbolism rather than the actions. Thomas pretends to say something pretentious that would probably stir up conflict, and then replaces that with mutual respect. In the same way, Logic and Morality in this video start off with fustration and disagreements. Then Thomas helps them to compromise and resolve the conflict.

Series masterlist can be found here

Sliding into the seat opposite the redhead, you give her a wicked grin when her eyes rise up to lock with your eager ones. “Hello, Natasha,” you greet Bucky’s wife, the tip of your tongue purring her name. “I have an early birthday present for you.”

Natasha doesn’t take any bullshit from anyone and gets straight to it, leaning back and crossing her arms over her chest as she quirks a curious eyebrow at you. “Did you get it?”

“Absolutely,” you confirm while opening your purse and taking out the small package, gift-wrapped with a large red bow as the cherry on top. Her fingertips eagerly reach for it but you hold off on giving it to her for a little longer, pursing your lips as you question her about her end of the deal.

Groaning and gritting her teeth at your playful bargaining, she put a tiny velvet box right next to your parcel. “As requested. You did make me curious as to what it contains. Bucky doesn’t keep an inventory on the dirt he collects, so I couldn’t find out myself.”

At the same time, you both accept each other’s offer and take what is respectively yours now. You reach for the velvet box and Natasha grabs the package. With a smirk you put it away in your purse, the redhead mirroring your smugness as she orders you both a glass of champagne to celebrate a successful exchange.

“It’s best if you don’t know, Nat,” you warn her with determined eyes, waving over the waiter. “A glass of red wine, please.” The young lad disappears and a few seconds later appears with your order. Meanwhile you assess Natasha’s stance, the way she owns the seat she’s sitting in with more than a dash of self-confidence.

“Are you coming to the party?,” she queries casually after taking a sip from her glass. “Bucky is turning it into this huge event, claiming it’s for my birthday but really, he’s just doing it to display his new wealth after we got married.” She taps the glass with her fingernail, painted a crimson red. “He and I haven’t been intimate in a very long time, after… you know what… happened. I believe he’s taking on a new mistress.”

Her tone drops dangerously low, but there’s a softness to it that betrays her vulnerability. Maybe somewhere she still cares for Bucky. “I don’t regret anything, Y/N, I want you to know that. I just wanna get out as quickly as possible. Saying yes to Bucky was a big mistake. I thought I’d never find love until…”

You cast down your eyes as the tips of your ears grow pink. “You don’t have to say it, Nat, I know.” Smiling sourly while curling your lips into a grin, the red liquid smooths your throat as you finish your drink in a matter of seconds. “This wine is terrible, by the way.”

Your comment makes Natasha chuckle, and she pours some of the bottle of champagne sitting on her side of the table in your glass. When you lock eyes with her and quirk an eyebrow, she simply shrugs and says “I feel like celebrating, don’t you?”.

The party is in full swing when you arrive. Fashionably late, you’d argue, but considering the dirty looks some of the other girls are throwing in your direction you figure that your dramatic entrance is only appreciated by the male audience. Wearing a midnight blue dress with a deep V-neck, you’re damn sure you’ll attract all the attention necessary to alert Bucky his ex-employee has arrived.

At the bar there is no empty seat, so you are forced to search for a vacant spot in the less occupied lounge. The chances of running into Bucky here are far less favourable than at the main bar, an you’ll be damned if you take a seat at one of the dinner tables as you’re fairly certain there’s no spot reserved for you. The only reason Bucky might want you here is to spite you, to rub into your face that he’s got a new girl, much younger and much prettier than you.

After you’ve finished your third cocktail, a fourth one arrives even though you didn’t order anything yet. The night hasn’t been very fruitful, as all the men look down your cleavage more than they lock eyes, and you want them to see you because you need their lips to bring it to Bucky’s ears that you’re still waiting for him. But it doesn’t happen, until another sex on the beach is brought to your table by one of the waitresses, an Indian girl with extremely beautiful, black hair.

“From the guy in the velvet jacket, with the long dirty blond hair and the full beard,” she tells you with a foxy smile, twisting her hair around her finger while swaying her hips at you and leaning in close to whisper under her breath. “He’s a very famous guy. You’re one lucky girl.”

Her name tag reads Ari and you thank her kindly as you throw a quick look over the girl’s shoulder at the man she referred to. “Well, Ari, I don’t know him. Maybe he isn’t that famous after all.”

“Oh, girl, don’t be a fool.” She shakes her head and writes something down on the notepad she fished out of the back pocket of her tight leather pants.

Her dark brown eyes are playful as she hands over the note to you, on it scribbled a name you believe belongs to the mystery man. “Look him up, but do it subtly. If you find any videos, make sure you don’t have you sound on or you’ll definitely regret it.”

With a final wink, she turns her back on you and the gorgeous Indian waitress disappears into the crowd again, serving drinks to other customers in the booths surrounding you. Every now and then her eyes rest on you again, especially when she notices you’re still on your phone and trying to keep a poker face while you research the name she’s given you. Steve Rogers, also known under his pornstar name, Dick Hardwood.

Meanwhile Steve slides two hundred dollar bills into the palm of the waitress that slipped you the note. “Thanks, Ari, baby.” The smirk on her face is undeniable as she taps her cheek, expecting him to give her a small kiss as another tip for her services. Steve all too quickly agrees and pecks her cheek. “She took the bait. What are you waiting for?”

“I’m going to hold off a little longer and let her come to me. According to Bucky that’s the best approach to get her into bed the quickest and longest.”

“I’m going to have to disagree with you on that, Dick,” Ari coos seductively, nudging his nose with the tip of her finger yet he bats her hand away before she can do it a second time. “This girl wants to be conquered. Like a queen, like a precious treasure chest. She ain’t gonna come to you just because you’ve got a renowned cock.”

“Alright, alright,” Steve shushes her as her voice tends to increase in volume the more she speaks about his member in the downstairs department. That always happens when he meets a ‘fan’. “I’m going.”

The blond man struts over to the girl on the picture Bucky gave him, the girl he is supposed to seduce and sleep with, to keep busy while Bucky’s men search her apartment. For a split second he feels a pang of guilt for his bad intentions. Bucky could’ve easily have hired another man less honourable of heart, who would use her up and never think of her again.

Though that’s not Steve. He gets off on pleasuring women, on making it all about them and not him. And tonight he intends to do the exact same with his target, Y/N Y/L/N.

“Hello beautiful,” he greets you as he flashes his pearly whites. You are surprised he actually came to you first, considering that’s not what Bucky’s general approach is with the ladies, fully aware that this man was sent by the mob king himself. Why else would a porn star be interested in the likes of one of Bucky’s old flames?

Because they believe you have something that they want.
