The Ramblings of Seren

Most of what I say probably won't make sense, but I think that's normal here. I LIKE TO TALK CRITICAL ROLE SPOILERS Co-Host of To Know Her is to Fear Her and the Attilan Rising Podcasts

watching the legend of vox machina really makes you aware of how well you know the cast’s voices because you end up being able to recognize liam o’brien from an npc’s labored breathing noises

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.

Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

your life is too easy. you need to go to the nearest animal shelter and adopt the first tortoiseshell cat you see

[pinkpillbugg]

What the fuck do I do now??

[byjove]

That’s a dilute torbie. You gotta get a classic black and orange tortie to pair with her.

[naomiknight-17]

Ok now what

[byjove]

they’re still finalizing their grand plan…

[anna-vampira]

[byjove]

I don’t know. I try to stay out of women’s business. But if I had to guess? She’s stealing toes.

very new to gifmaking (trying to start learning!) but had to post this, because i've seen a lot of gifsets of the "you don't blink? :(" moment but nothing of this adorable little exchange a couple seconds after it

[jooyeonjooyeoff]

I'm terrified for whatever this is...oh boy

I think the solution to kids on the Internet is to have specific, kid friendly spaces on the Internet. Kids wouldn't come across "adult content" on YouTube if barbie dot com still had flash games and this is a hill I will die on.

[aetherograph]

Oh! Then I know the EXACT person you should be mad at! Michael O'Rielly! He's the one that gutted the Children's Programming Rules, which covered internet as well as television.

[jauntylittlefrillyboy]

HELLO?

[aetherograph]

#so the death of the Saturday morning cartoon is THIS motherfuckers fault?????

Indeed it is! The FCC controls how much of broadcasting has to cater to children and that includes how educational that programming has to be, and exactly how much and in what way you are allowed to advertise to kids. That's why for the entire 90s and up to the early 00s, kids shows had shorter commercial breaks, and ads that talked about a website had to say "ask your parents before going online", and those websites had to be non-commercial--i.e. they could not be shops, and could not have any way you could spend money or were encouraged to spend money. That's why Barbie.com was flash games, and O'Rielly LIFTING that ban is why Barbie.com now takes you directly to a storefront instead.

If you're mad about Saturday Morning Cartoons, dark patterns in ads targeted at children, online protections for kids, or wondering why educational children's shows aren't as much of a thing as they used to be, get mad at the FCC and the person in charge of it who is gutting the Children's Brodcasting Rules (sometimes called the Kid Vid Rules), because those rules control all of that!

While O'Rielly is responsible for gutting the rules in 2019, he was replaced in 2020 by Nathan Simington as head of the FCC, and Simington resigned in June of this year. The post remains vacant as of the time of this writing (August 31, 2025).

And a side note: Things like KOSA and SCREEN and all those other censorship bills that use "think of the children" are not going to protect children at all; if you want to protect kids online, there is already a way to do that it's called the Kid Vid Rules and the FCC is the one that can update and change them to keep up with the times! It doesn't need a congress vote, it already got voted on in 1990!
