for the zelda ask game, #8, your favorite song!

8. Favorite song

Fairy Fountain theme! My favourite theme throughout the entire series!

I especially like it in Minish Cap.

And PLEASE listen to this version of it from Four Swords Adventures! It's AMAZING! 😍

[bunniebard]

Fun fact! The character select screen and setting up of players in this game is just the plain Fairy Fountain song (like in most Zeldas), but when you transition to the map screen to choose your stage the percussion and background fades in. I used to have a lot of fun going back and forth to listen to it change.

[madocaito]

I’m desperately asking for help I do full-body art with up to 2 characters and background for only $35, just to help me reach my goal, please. 💔

My 7 year old son was recently hospitalized. I had to take time off work to care for him, which put me behind on rent, bills, and medication costs. Any support to help me catch up would mean the world. I'm also offering $35 art commissions as another way to help. Thank you for your support.

Oh! I absolutely entered this contest! I made Mario’s House and his partners from PM1, and he was showing them a slide show of his previous adventures in Marios 1-4. You could pull out and change the slides from the top!

The winner was the vertical one at the bottom; it was very well done but the only one of the winners to not be Sticker Star related.

Oh! I had something really similar to that thermos!

[citrusblooms]

Stained glass, but make it (very subtly) Zelda.

Loved my first foray into doing glass plant stakes!

I adore them so much it's gonna be hard to send them to their new home, but I know they will be loved there too!!

okay everyone reblog and tell me your favorite perfume. but if your favorite is glossier you… don’t bother

[bunniebard]

My great-aunt gave me three bottles of Muguet du Bois by Côty. I can’t even hazard to guess how old they are because it’s no longer in production and hasn’t come in this style packaging in a while, but it smells DEVINE, just as real and delicate as it’s namesake flower. Nothing else compares.

[modmad]

fun fact: did you know binturongs smell like buttered popcorn?? i used to work at a zoo and this is the one (1) thing i retained

WHAT. THAT'S SO COOL?! WHY????

[modmad]

every day I learn something new....

[bunniebard]

Fun fact: this is a chemical you can buy in liquid form and is sometimes added to popcorn/bread/chips to up their flavor.

Less fun fact: it can be smelled in less than the part per million range, so when you add 0.5% (that’s 5000ppm) to a solution be prepared for the entire laboratory to smell like CORN CHIIIIIPS~~

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.

[daincrediblegg]

ok children gather 'round because all of these kindof have the same answer and I am way too passionate about this subject and the history behind it that I physically cannot remain silent about it

So if you were a 90's kid like me, you grew up with this film on VHS. if you were also like me, then you probably remember it very differently from how it was released recently both in blu-ray and on streamer formats and probably were freaking out thinking this was some kind of mandela effect for years: and THIS IS BECAUSE. THERE IS A CRUCIAL SCENE MISSING. AND LITERALLY I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. THE TWO MINUTES CUT KINDOF CHANGE THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF THE WHOLE MOVIE??? and allow me to explain why.

That video above it the Deleted Song "When Love is Gone" was ONLY EVER featured on the VHS release of The Muppet Christmas Carol that came out through the 90's. Why? because initially, some uppity disney executive market tested it and went "kids are gonna get antsy with that and not like it" so they cut it then for the theatrical release, but then Brian Henson (director, son of JIM) somehow managed to get it into the VHS cut of the film. Kinda went rogue about it if memory serves. Now, as a child, this was kindof... a huge part of the movie for me? like I remember listening to it and crying a bit as a kid because this one song is just... so emotional? like seriously. other than the fact that it's being sung by Meredith Braun (who at one point played Eponine in Les Mis, and you gotta have some SERIOUS pipes to do that) AND Michael Cain, and it's a love song in a way, like it's very clear that she still cares for Ebenezer but she recognizes that her love for him is different than his love for her and she has to leave him, meanwhile THE MAN IS BEHIND HER CRYING AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN SEE HIM AND CLEARLY IT'S THE BIGGEST REGRET HE HAS And honestly? That's a HUGE part of what made it stand out for me as a child. Like. The muppets themselves were all fun and good but then you have this song for a second... and it really feels true to the dickensian spirit guiding the whole film, and it's what's made it to me the most true to form adaptation of his yet. It's phenomenal. And this dumbass disney exec said "it's too adult emotional for the kids" (an argument that always has and will always continue to be completely fucking stupid).

So then what happened? why didn't they put it in the DVD and Blu Ray releases that have come out throughout the years? Well, literally DISNEY LOST THE FOOTAGE. APPARENTLY. so when they went to restore it and reformat it for those releases AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY for the streamer release, it was literally missing. and Brian Henson has been asking them to look for YEARS. FINALLY they found it back in 2020, and then only last year did they upload the fully restored version that you see me ranting and raving about.

"But Egg", you ask, "why does this matter? What does this small 2 minute sequence change about this movie SO MUCH that it merits a huge ass post about it that is making people confused?"

Because let me tell you friends. Belle does not seem very significant and kindof pointless to flashback to without that song. It's like ok. she's there. She tells Ebenezer she's breaking up with him. and then... THE MUPPETS CRY ABOUT IT??? and that's it. That's all you get. you don't get any of the sense of how deeply this affected this guy- the LITERAL PROTAGONIST THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT. And it's all because, again, say it with me folks: the dipshit disney executive said "It's Too Emotional For Children".

Not ONLY that. But THIS SONG IS LITERALLY THE REPRISE THEY SING AT THE END OF THE FILM. WHICH. LET ME TELL YOU. IT'S FUCKING WEIRD FOR THAT TO LITERALLY COME OUT OF NOWHERE COMPLETELY LEFT FIELD AS A NEW SONG AT THE END. Like it makes no sense. ok sappy sentimental "the love we found" all right. BUT REMEMBER. THE ORIGINAL LYRIC IS "LOVE IS GONE". IT'S SYMMETRY. IT'S POETRY. IT'S FUCKING VITAL. An the movie is good as it is but literally trust me this makes it infinitely better when you see it as a whole. Please. Just trust me on this. Thank you and goodnight. oh yeah and here's a decent article that talks about it and that shall serve as my source for a lot of this

you're welcome

I WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED HERE. Now I know!

[lightasthesun]

I miss the era where there'd be outtakes to animated movies like toy story or early 2000s barbie movies that shit was hilarious and so wholesome

[night-city-valentines]

[bunniebard]

Time to go straight to the source and ask the horse…. @modmad , I was unaware some of the Barbie movies used mocap?

Ken + his favorite word job

[bunniebard]

This was so hilarious to me because the ONE Ken doll I owned was Wet’n’Wild (Color Changing Swim Trunks) Ken.

i see a post talking doom and gloom about how we'll never escape toxic masculinity. i think about back in 2017 when american girl released their first boy doll, and a review for him went viral in the collecting community. the review was written by a mom, who said they went into the store to get their daughter a doll, only to see their son's eyes light up like fire when he saw a doll that looked like him, and now every night he puts his doll in pajamas and rocks him to sleep. i think about the toddler in my daycare room a few years back who was obsessed with baby dolls, carrying them everywhere, and his mom proudly told us he uses his sisters' old baby dolls and wants to be just like them. that toddler saw another toddler crying one day and gave her the doll he had to cheer her up. i think about the eight-year-old boy i saw a few years back, excitedly waving around raya's sword in a target checkout line like all his dreams were coming true. there was a video on my instagram the other day of a little boy at disneyworld crying with joy upon meeting his hero, mulan. i think about the voice actor for bow in the she-ra reboot saying his nephews only wanted adora action figures. celebrity men are wearing dresses on tv now. last halloween i saw a little boy dressed as elsa. i went to go see spiderverse over the summer, and in the line ahead of me was a boy who couldn't be older than twelve or thirteen, bouncing and beaming, giddy with excitement over getting to see the female-led romance movie elemental. i think about the five-year-old boy at my library who breathlessly asked me where the pinkalicious books were, eyes widening when i had more on my cart, his mom explaining that he is all about pinkalicious and fancy nancy. i saw so many pictures online of boys and men dressed in pink to see barbie. teenage boys are gonna open their phones and see the man who wrote fucking game of thrones dressed in pink to see barbie. when i was a kid, a boy dressing in pink was practically a social death sentence. there are boys running around in pink on my street right now.

[bunniebard]

I saw a group of three boys playing Steven Universe a few years ago. They were vehemently arguing who would be who, or more precisely, who got to be Garnet. Steven was never brought up in the conversation.

Sometimes things change for the better.

[bunniebard]

Also a shoutout to the boy on that same playground who gently pushed his excited little brother down the slide then stood tall and with narrowed eyes muttered, “Long live the king… or whatever.”

Why the heck is this dude trying to confirm if the frog puppet is hetrosexual???

[karnalesbian]

assessing the situation before he shoots his shot

[bunniebard]

The best quick thinking I’ve ever seen from Kermit was when the Muppets were on Family Feud; to steal the win he had to name a round body part and with zero hesitation answered, “Uh, I believe they are called mammary glands?”

Boobs was the #1 answer and they won.

Solid life advice from Sue the T. Rex.

[bunniebard]

We had the guy who dug Sue up come and talk at my college; it was a very interesting story!

What I remember best, however, are the questions at the end. The first was a young child, probably around 5, “So you really dig up a DINOSAUR?!” (Yep I sure did buddy!) The second was a classmate of mine from both that class and high school, “What are your thoughts on bone structure in the cold versus warm blooded debate?” and you could just SEE him resetting his mental state to answer it.

Since it's watermelon season!

My grandfather used to grow watermelons, among other things, and he told me about most of this, especially the orange spot. Those are the absolute best!

[angelicguy]

i have been given nothing but shiny elongated watermelons with small webbings and white spots. and they make me wanna kill myself

[thesanityclause]

My grandfather used to tell me the best watermelons are the ones you steal from the back of a truck so I guess we all learned some watermelon knowledge from our grandfathers
