i’m just a guy. More or less

making silly sounds doesn’t always have to serve a purpose and is sometimes done purely for whimsy’s sake

my autopsy results came back negative There was nothing in there

i was actually born as a CD but a wizard turned me into a human to teach me a lesson

they did NOT have to have that scene with the fucking muppet meteor stopping to look at the earth and seeing it in all it's chaotic and simultaneously symphonic beauty after flying through empty space for millions of years and the montage of everything the earth has to offer was simply too much!!! i was already crying why do i feel bad for a fucking ROCK that KILLS EVERYTHING

Petition for Watcher to put the Puppet History songs in Spotify, cause I would listen to the meteor song on repeat 24/7 until I die

Something something the way the dinosaur parents allowed their little blue son to share his special interest with them and supported him even though they didn't understand it was something I never got as an autistic kid and healed a wound deep inside of me etcetera etcetera.

Petition to get the Cap and maybe Julian some of those little plastic army men because I think they deserve to have little army wars. Let them do tiny army guy role play as a treat

Truly the funniest thing about puppet history is that it’s still educational. I DID learn what defenestration is! I learned all about Bessie Coleman and Victorian medicine and the Trung sisters! I also watched a grown man passionately fist fight a puppet being worn by his friend. It’s about balance.

Robin was probably the first ghost at button house ever. There probably wasn’t anyone there before him that’s been sucked off. When every other ghost died they had someone to explain things to them, to comfort them. Robin didn’t get that, it probably took a while for him to figure out what was going on. All he knew was that he got struck by lightning and now no one can see him and he can walk through stuff. He might not have had any concept of what a ghost was. He was alone and confused for centuries.

A fundamental part of transandrophobia is the fact that its extremely difficult to fit trans men into the categories we have.

We have the categories of "man" and "woman", with men being dominant, in control, and powerful, and women not. These categories have historically been exclusive to cis people, but now we have transfeminism. Trans women are very clearly not a dominant, in control, powerful group in society, and they are women, so its very easy to fit them in to the existing framework. Men are still in power and women still aren't, its just that "women" now includes both women and the cooler women.

But trans men are harder to fit in. In trans-accepting feminism, trans men are accepted as men. But trans men are not a group that is dominant, in control, and powerful in society. We don't have trans men making laws, or being popular newscaster who can sway public opinion. Stories are not written with the "trans male gaze", as trans men are not expected to be the viewer. Trans men are not seen by society at large as especially trustworthy, likable, people that should be listened to.

So, to keep that framework intact, you either have to say that trans men are women and ignore their identity, or you have to say that trans men are men and therefore in power. Neither of these answers are good for trans men, and neither accurately describe trans men's place in society. Because while trans men are affected by misogyny, trans men have experiences of gender and sexual oppression that cis women don't. And nonbinary people, too, are shafted here; nonbinary people aren't a dominant group, but many are not women and many were not assigned female at birth. What do you do with that? (Well, just start lumping them with women, it seems).

This is why I feel the thing we need is a proper restructuring of how we view gendered oppression. We are trying to operate trans existence through cis technology. Right now, in trans-affirming feminism, it seems that if you experience some sort of gendered oppression, you are seen as a de facto woman until you can't be. Cissexism and binarism is still dominating our perspectives, even when we are "trans-affirming", because we are still unwilling to change our framework to adjust for trans experiences.

If you find autism self diagnosis so concerning, you are more than welcome to send a self diagnosed stranger $2000+ so they can seek a professional assessment.

the clock scene is overhyped as hell and film bros ignore the importance of the apple scene bc they're afraid of the homoerotic undertones and i WILL die on this hill!

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

One day Alison and Mike receive a letter. It’s from a woman asking very politely if she could bring her father to see Button House; he was stationed there for a time during WWII and is now very elderly - his fondest wish is to see the house one last time before he dies. The letter is signed by the woman, her surname is Havers.

Alison (forgetting that the Captain mentioned that name in ‘Redding Weddy’) asks Cap if he knew or remembers anyone called Havers from his time in Button House. Very quietly he tells her that yes, he knew a Havers, why? She explains the situation, that he wants to come and look at the house before he dies. When the Captain doesn’t answer, Alison asks if everything is okay. His only response is a very quiet, “Yes. I should like to see him again.”

So Alison replies to the woman, agrees that she and her father can come to the house. To make the journey a little easier on the old man, they agree that they can spend the night so he’s not doing to much exerting travelling in one day.

When they arrive, the Captain is at the door with Alison to greet them although they can’t see him. It’s his Havers for sure. He has aged, obviously, well into his nineties by now, but it’s definitely him. Cap could never forget that smile. He watches Havers as he, his daughter, Alison and Mike slowly make their way around the house. He remembers walking these same hallways with Havers, an unspoken truth between them beating like a heart. It’s bittersweet, seeing him again after so long, but he’s glad he got this final chance.

He talks to Havers as they all go around the house. Pointing at things and down hallways, asking him “Remember when we...” followed by a question Havers won’t answer. Alison can hear it but she’s kind enough not to say anything. She knows this is between Cap and Havers.

The Captain goes into Havers’ room that night, just to get a look at him alone. Say the things he didn’t want to say in front of Alison, even though Havers is asleep and wouldn’t hear him anyway.

But then something happens - Havers begins to glow and too late Cap realises that he’s dying. He calls for Alison, but she’s fast asleep elsewhere in the house and wouldn’t come. Havers’ spirit is there and he can see Cap now.

“Captain,” he says, “is that really you?”

“Yes,” Cap replies weakly. “I... I have missed you Havers.”

“I have missed you too. Am I... dead?”

Cap sniffs. “Yes. Yes, I’m afraid so.”

“Oh.” He sounds underwhelmed, like he expected more from death. “Well. I am glad I got this chance to see you again before I go. I missed you every day after I left. I came to your funeral, sir.”

“I saw,” Cap replies, “I was there.”

At that, Havers’ spirit laughs and Cap suddenly doesn’t care. He knows times have changed now, he knows that he would be accepted by now if he’d lived long enough. In another life he and Havers could have worked, they could have been happy.

So he gives in and says, “I loved you, Havers.”

Havers gives a weak smile, returns, “I loved you too.”

And then he moves on, and he leaves Cap for the second time.

I’m sure it’s been said before, but I really don’t think that coming out is what the Captain needs to do to move on. While his sexuality is a very important part of his character, it’s not what’s keeping him there. His issue is that he can’t let go of the war. Multiple characters have told him that he needs to let go of it, that it’s over, yet he still cannot accept that. So I believe that in order for him to move on or, rather, “get sucked off,” he has to finally accept that the war is over.

we just kinda make shit up

This is a genuine question because of the amount of Capvers content: Where are y’all getting the fuel from? He appeared for like five minutes, he spoke like two lines, where’d you get the personality from?

“The preacher may never marry us and my mama may never know you but I can kiss you over a flask of whiskey and dance with you under the stars and if that isn’t marriage I’m not sure what else God is looking for.”

Goncharov is such a good movie, so glad it’s getting the recognition it deserves

Since I’ve started using a cane, I’ve noticed a lot of actors & cartoonists aren’t sure how to depict characters with them! Here’s a simple cheat sheet to help with the basics/standard use.

So much has happening the first episode of puppet history, can’t wait for the rest

what are some of your favourite underrated lines or jokes in the show? for me it's:

- robin's reaction to mike starting the fire in the christmas special ("sorry- still gets me!")

- captain: nonsense, i laugh all the time. just yesterday, fanny and i were in stitches whilst recalling the satirical skewering of socio-political institutions in the mikado.

- obi: this sweater is my sistine chapel roof!

mike: ceiling.

obi: is it? good. because i googled the roof, and i weren't blown away!

- humphrey: if you would've told me four hundred years ago that my decapitated body would be having an affair with a sixty dead woman, i would've said you were mad.

pat: and that would've been fair enough.

- captain: now hang on a moment! this is a time honoured ritual that means a great deal to robin, and frankly, i think he deserves a little respect!

robin: yes, moonah is-

captain: shut up, robin!
