i stopped believing in things once trix cereal stopped being shaped like fruit
What if they still are shaped like fruit but trix is for kids and we’re not kids anymore so we just see boring cereal?
fuck
Oh god but I told the Toys R Us giraffe that I didn’t wanna grow up that bastard lied to me!
A morning rant that isn’t a rant at all, but more like a… love letter? I dunno I was feeling sappy, don’t judge me >.<
I usually don’t get really sad when celebrities die? Usually because it’s like, sure I like them, and yeah it’s sad when they die, but I wasn’t like really close to them so I’m not too hung up on it? But James Avery… that really is like a piece of my childhood is gone. Not just Uncle Phil, but Shredder in the original TMNT cartoon. That’s two hits at once. It kinda sucks :( It’s so weird too because my brain is like, when celebrities die it’s usually not ones I grew up with? It might be someone my parents grew up with, or like, someone I learned about in my twenties or something. But I was still a kid with Fresh Prince AND with TMNT.
So yeah, it’s a sad time to be an 80s kid.
Rest in Peace, James. You’ll be missed.
It’s because fictional characters can have real concerns. Like, the reason why I love Persona 4 so much is that the characters are teenagers with real concerns that teenagers would have, and concerns that people don’t address in teenagers. Too often they’re told “you’re too young to understand” and “wait until you’re older” and not taken seriously, but honestly, there’s so much growing up in high school and college, I hate that people just assume “you’re a kid, you don’t know any better.” Kid doesn’t mean incapable of feeling things, or being concerned about things. Kid doesn’t mean you just don’t know about being hurt, or being in love, or being worried about what other people think, and just… that’s not what being a kid is. Being a kid is about growing and becoming the person you want to be, and that’s hard to do if someone is like, “You don’t know any better.” Yeah, that may be, but that doesn’t mean you should treat them like they can’t grasp the concept of it, or have genuine concerns about their life.
This is really personal, but take my wifey for example. She came out to her parents and they said, “No you’re not,” and took her to therapy. How terrible is that? They’ve come around since then (because I mean, come on, 12 years with a girl?) but she essentially had to come out twice because the first time they were like, “Nope,” just because she was young. And sure, maybe there is a kid who thinks he’s gay, and maybe years later he’ll marry a lady, but it’s called growing up and discovering yourself. Don’t tell someone they don’t know what they’re talking about, don’t tell someone their feelings in the here and now are false.
Hell, I mean, look at a series like X-Men. Mutants are discriminated against because they’re different. You can fill in the blank with race, gender, sexuality, just… pick one. Just because it’s got superheroes who can control the weather or fly doesn’t mean they aren’t facing real issues. Look at Rogue, she can’t even touch the person she likes, and she struggles with that. So not only is the overall show a big metaphor for being different, but those characters who are different have their own things to deal with. What better way to address those issues than with something a younger audience would be interested in? I really like shows like that that aren’t afraid to go there just because it’s a “kid’s show.” Like Adventure Time? I haven’t seen much of it, but from what I’ve seen on Tumblr there are some solid lessons to be learned, and it’s not preaching them, it’s just part of the story. It’s not like, “Now son sit down and let me tell you about being kind to others,” it just… is. And that’s great.
The beloved ’90s cartoon “Reboot” is getting a reboot. B.C. animation studio Rainmaker Entertainment announced this week that it has renamed its TV division Mainframe Entertainment and launched development of a sequel to the first-ever fully computer-animated series.ALL OF MY CHILDHOOD IS BEING REBOOTED
I’M SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE ;_;
KYAH I watched the shit out of this show *__*
There’s one for anime that’s going around, let’s do some cartoons!
Added bonus:
Feel free to add to this, please!
wait
you want to have the crap repeatedly kicked out of you and build a fence and paint a house and break your leg just to win a competition one time
and then have your girlfriend dump you so you follow your old man best friend to Japan where some douche tries to kill you both repeatedly
And babysit some kids cuz your boyfriend stood you up and end up in the middle of Chicago while you try to save your bff Kimmie Gibler who’s stuck at a bus stop? Only to end up meeting a man with a hook for a hand, stumble into a car jacking, meet a car jacking crime organization, sing the blues with some of the only black people in the 80s, run into a gang on the subway, watch 15-year-old get stabbed in the foot, go to a frat party, meet Thor (ok that part’s cool I don’t even…), and watch a 9-year-old slide down the side of the tallest fucking building ever?
Oh and find said boyfriend cheating on you at Chez Restaurante for cheaters. Don’t worry, the 15-year-old you’re babysitting will gladly be your rebound.
