I wasn't planning on doing another Mighty Nein edit but here we are.

I said I'd do this years ago if a Mighty Nein animated series was going to be made and well here it is. I hope the tiktok edit crowd makes a better version of this lol.

My General Fears About the Mighty Nein Animated Series

Amazon Prime announced that an animated adaptation of Critical Role’s second campaign: The Mighty Nein is being made. Awesome! Here’s why I am incredibly nervous in an easy to understand format: A List (of only a couple points but lists are cool)! 1: This is the one that matters the least but I fear that the critical (pun not intended) response won’t be as strong as the reception for the Legend of Vox Machina. Not because of any fault of the show itself but rather I’m nervous that critics will watch the show and feel like it is too similar to VM. This is just a thing that happens when media properties start to expand and Critters might disagree but ultimately it is a concern that critical word of mouth might negatively impact the show. But as I said at the beginning this is the one I’m least nervous about because I think as long as the show is good and faithful to the campaign fans will be happy. Which brings us to…

2. I fear that deviations from the campaign will upset fans of the original streams. While campaign 1 started this whole revolution I think it is fair to say campaign 2 is what ignited the worldwide phenomenon that is Critical Role. And as such in my experience Campaign 2 fans are like, EXTRA defensive of it. When I was first getting in to CR watching C1 I noticed there were episodes in which there was a lot of downtime. I asked around to see if there were guides on skippable episodes or guides to let me know where big important moments happened. People were super helpful and understanding and gave me a guide. When I got into watching C2 and asked that same question. The response I got was “there aren’t any skippable episodes, and it is integral that you don’t skip around in the videos because you might miss something. This campaign isn’t like C1. Every detail is important”. As someone who has finished C2 I can say that this is not true lol. C2 is similar to C1 in that some episodes are totally skippable and not every detail is super important. That being said I’ve seen that sentiment by enough fans of C2 that I am nervous that the show streamlining and shuffling around events may not go over as well with the fans as the changes that came with LOVM.

3. This is basically just point #2.5 but I’m nervous that the series won’t live up to how things played out in the heads of fans. There are some incredible animatics on youtube about major and minor moments from C2 that are so well done that I’m nervous they won’t hit the same in the show. Which is a dumb concern but it is also a concern I had with LOVM. Which thankfully so far hasn’t been the case with me as I think the team have been nailing the emotional beats from C1. Honestly they should be fine and I should have faith in the team.

Anyway this is probably the first time a franchise I’ve loved so much has been adapted into a tv show and this is probably what it feels like for book readers when a big budget movie is made about a series they love. I want it to be really good but am super nervous that it either won’t live up to the expectations or other fans will be bummed. Thanks for humoring this longwinded post Tumblr Dot Com.

Coming back many moons later now that the first 4 episodes have aired and I loved them! While I may not be the biggest fan of Campaign 2 I had no doubt this creative team would streamline things and adjust some plot points in a way that I would enjoy. I am happy that some of the fears I had back when I made this post did not come to pass. Mighty Nein is reviewing pretty well. It's mostly just people raising concerns about things that were changed and things that weren't. Some folks seem really hung up on Talieson still doing the not great accent but I dunno. I think it works. I was expecting there to be more of an outcry about Yasha not being part of the Carnival but people seem pretty accepting about it. Can't wait to see where the show goes from here!

TFW you're on Youtube on 2007 looking up your favorite cartoons.

Speaking of, Youtube won't let me upload this to the platform because of its stupid ass copyright system so you guys get to enjoy it from here.

Planet Of The Bass - DJ Crazy Times is by Kylegordonisgreat on TikTok and the nightcore version is by the channel Kaia on Youtube.

The animes clips used in here are drawn from, in no particular: Sailor Moon, Lucky Star, Princess Tutu, Magic Knight Rayearth, Kaleido Star, Mirmo Zibang!, Sgt.

This proves to me Planet of the Bass is the perfect late 90s Eurodance parody since, after being nightcore’d, this amv would not look even a little out of place as an early youtube amv.

I think my worst character trait is that on this website (or really any website) if I see a post go longer than a paragraph I skip it. Oh how I wish I was a patient motherfucker.

When my great grandpa was on his deathbed my grandpa (his son) was with him and says his last words were “I told them they shouldn’t have hanged that woman. Well by damn they’re paying now” and no one in my family knows what the fuck that means

[bbcwhereareyou]

My grandmother was harassing me about the dangers of online dating, and my grandpa was like, “Oh fer crying out loud, leave her alone. My parents met online, she’ll be fine.” Apparenly my great grandparents were both telegraph operators who would chat over the line in between messages and fell in love and my great grandma moved halfway across the country to marry a dude she met over the telegraph.

No one alive in the family had ever heard this story until like 70+ years later when I happened to start seeing a dude from OK Cupid.

[pacoslimee]

Recently learned my great-grandfather was involved in the Amelia Earhart investigation and he just apparently never felt the need to inform anybody else in the family while he was alive. I saw an excerpt in a 1987 book about the investigation and it just casually drops my great grandfather’s name (and I know 100% that it is my relative they are talking about due to the job description the book listed) and my parents had no clue. Just wild new lore drops.

General 3 am Ramblings About the Showtime Series “Dexter”

Ok so I never watched this show as it was airing. I know my dad was and due to cultural osmosis I knew some things about it going in: 1. It was about a serial killer who went after other serial killers.

2. Season 4 is considered the best.

3. The “Surprise Motherfucker” meme is from this show.

4. People don’t like the finale to either Dexter nor it’s 2021 revival Dexter: New Blood.

Earlier this year I felt a compulsion to start the show and see for myself what all the fuss was about. I am currently on the last episode of Season 5 and I have Some Thoughts™ and felt like getting them out now. I’ll go into detail under the cut.

Season 1: From the get go I enjoyed this show. The cast was good and the premise was interesting. While I knew Dexter was a serial killer I didn’t know he worked as a forensics expert for the Miami police. Which immediately throws in a neat twist to the formula. I enjoyed the season long mystery about the Ice Truck Killer and the tension between Dexter and Sergeant Doakes. Satisfying season with a good story and good characters.

Season 2: I don’t know if I like it as much or more than season 1. The stakes have been raised so high and the tension was palpable. I honestly don’t have anything interesting to say about it other than it was a great continuation and I enjoyed it.

Season 3: The introduction of the potential new ally and Dexter grappling with breaking his moral code was really good stuff. Nice character development all around. I would say I don’t like this season as much as 1 or 2 but it is still more of a show I like so I can’t complain.

Season 4: I can see why this is the fan favorite season. A very memorable villain and it just feels like the show has entered its stride. Excellent character development for Dexter especially considering his complicated relationship that develops with the Trinity Killer. I will say that this was the first time with show that I personally felt uneasy watching death scenes. I am already squeamish but for some reason prior to this season the macabre aspects didn’t get to me.

Season 5: This is where my thoughts get complicated. I had heard that starting with season 5 there is a decrease in quality. And for a solid two-thirds of the season I felt that people were maybe judging it too harshly. But then halfway through episode 11 of the 12 episode season it hit me. An entire storyline had been entirely dropped. A new character had been introduced throughout several episodes and then had been added to the homicide team. And then they just didn’t show up again for the rest of the season. Another character’s motives and personality completely shifts with very little explanation. I still find myself intrigued with the main murder case. But I can’t really ignore all the little cracks every where else in the season. I have yet to finish episode 12 so maybe it sticks the landing and ties everything together. So far this is probably my least favorite season but I still like the format of the show and most of the cast.

I may do a second post once I finish the series but this is what I got so far.

I can’t believe I made an amv in the year of our lord 2023 but here we are in time for season 2! I made a Percy De Rolo edit to the song “Whitestone Child” by Arcane Anthems. Which is a parody of “Feel Good Drag” by Anberlin. Please support Arcane Anthems on their Patreon if you can. This song is free but there’s tons of good stuff on there. Link below the cut.

Planning way too far ahead but assuming there’s enough material to work with in the Mighty Nein series I gotta do a Lucien edit to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykIFaxzBmoU
