I REMEMBER THIS

Kevin Conroy (pretty sure it was him) is an A+ Man.

Firefly is one of a very few shows I actually wouldn’t mind seeing a reboot of, if it was done with the right intentions by the right people. because the bones and aesthetic and premise of the show are incredible but I think maybe it was just kind of. created too early to actually fulfill the potential it had. like idk what if Firefly, but it was less weird about its female characters and half the cast was actually chinese. I just think that would be cool and interesting to see. and I want more space cowboys and frankly am not terribly picky as to how that happens and reboots are in. get all unknown actors to do it because I’m tired of looking at the same five people.

plus if it gets released on a streaming service we can even get the truly authentic Firefly experience of watching it be cancelled for no reason after season one.

Cast Gina Torres to play Captain Malia Reynolds. Wash and Zoe are lesbians. The Tams are actually Chinese this time. I think Avery Brooks would make a fantastic Book. I can think of some other casting choices (sarah shahi for zoe for example) but I agree with the notion of a lot of unknowns (or at least little-knowns) filling out the cast.

Also, Nathan Fillion keeps playing different, disparate roles every few episodes, typically a running gag with a reaction ‘do I know you?’ from Mal and rarely being in more than a scene or two in any given episode. This is never questioned otherwise.

technology design peaked here (via: cybramir)

What was your first source of portable music? Walkman? CD player with headphones? MP3 Player? iPod? Phone? 

my fucking god these tags aged me 50 years

they’re literally the size of a CD, hen. you can still buy them

presumably anti skip technology has evolved since then and actually reliably works now (if you jolt a cd drive when it’s playing the laser reading it will also jolt around and songs will skip - not useful when walking. anti skip technology is meant to stabilise so it doesn’t happen. very rarely was this actually the fucking case)

you’d carry around a little flip folder of CDs like this in your bag

often containing at least one mixtape cd you burned yourself, or that someone else had made you, with the tracklist written on it in sharpie

common from the late 90s - early/mid 00s when MP3 players and iPods started to take over

yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,

PLUS THIS SCENE?

AND THIS????

We’re all just suckers for lonely heroes accidentally acquiring a dad.

the reason why this movie is so underrated is that disney released it almost side by side with the harry potter movie.

treasure planet was a very, very expensive movie that used novel cgi mixed with 2d drawing, took a lot of work and money to create, the script itself was amazing to work with, the characters had arcs and depths, and the story as a whole was compelling and never off.

i don’t think anyone ever figured out why disney wanted it to flop, but the date of release was strictly suicidal for a movie. that’s why it never got the attention it deserved.

This is my favorite Disney movie like for real I watched it like 10000 times as a little kid and even more when I got older. I love it

If you guys want a full understanding of just how underrated this movie is here’s a video about all the cool shit that went into the movie

seriously it’s 2013 where is this??

2013 and we can’t even electronically synthesize big macs out of nothing. We’re basically living in a dystopia.

2022 and we cant even electronically synthesize big macs out of nothing. were basically living in a dystopia.

every time i look at the mystery gang i have this like visceral feeling that someone is missing. but nobody ever is. who are they. what happened to them

logically i know this is them. these are the only people in the mystery gang. fred, daphne, velma, shaggy, and scooby. thats the 5 of them. but something deep within my lizard brain is telling me theres a 6th member that has been, for unknown reasons, banished from this timeline and our collective memory as a species

Its because of this gap between shaggy and daphne. Everyone else is touching in some way and it looks like daphne should be leaning on someone too, but they’ve been edited out and daphne has been moved along.

It’s Johnny Bravo

This show was the funniest fucking thing

He never elaborated on this and it kills me

If I remember correctly it eventually got out.

Apparently this was a rehearsal for the scene, so the extinguisher was a prop one (hence the moment Miranda sassy looks at the camera/crew for how he was acting her in panic), so they went on to it.

But someone had switched the extinguisher to the actual fire thrower that would be used on the scene (I dont remember if was proposital or not or simply a mistake because they were meant to be identical).

So this is their actual reaction, cause when he pressed the valve, he really wasnt expecting to fire come out, neither was Miranda, so their reaction is 100% genuine and they did freak out as on tape.

The thing went out so well they were unable to reenact their reactions or surprise as the first time on rehearsal, so the rehearsal scene was kept and put it into the actual episode.

Are you telling me Miranda was eating that carrot with whip cream for fun and not because the scene called for it.

Twitter thread from user @lindzamer:

I bet most of the people flipping out about drag queens and kids have no idea that their favorite classic children’s books were written by queer people

Arnold Lobel, the author of Frog and Toad, came out to his family in the mid-70s

Maurice Sendak lived with his male partner for 50 years

Margaret Wise Brown was an iconic chaotic bisexual. The “personal life and death” section of her Wikipedia page is a wild ride, I’ve wanted to write a biopic screenplay about her for ~ages~

James Marshall was queer and died of AIDS

Tomie dePaola was gay and came out later in life. The NYT gave him a beautiful obituary after his death in 2020

(each name is accompanied by a picture of an iconic book by that author)
