Best Friends Redux should’ve been the last episode of The Looney tunes show.

Daffy literally had so much development between the show’s very first episode, to the end of the show and this episode highlights it. Literally called “Best Friends” s1 ep1, to s2 ep25 “Best Friends Redux”. To “Super rabbit”’s credit though, it can be documented that in the first episode, Daffy couldn’t even remember Bugs’ catchphrase: whereas in Super rabbit, he could recognise Bugs’ scent, when he was lying, and what shampoo/conditioner he was using. I could go on an info dump about Daffy’s development in tlts but that’s for another time.

Back on topic, this episode actually feels like a good homage and incoorporation of Daffy’s greedy persona from the Chuck Jones shorts. He does this kinda possessiveness in other episodes, but this one was fun to watch especially since it was actually integral to the context of Daffy’s development in his friendship with Porky, and friendship to Bugs (though arguably lesser of the actual focus ironically). He seems to improve and recognise that he can’t hog Bugs all to himself, albeit by directly witnessing the consequences of it. And his friendship with Porky improves as he seems to learn to be less possessive with Bugs (by the tiniest bit), and shows kindness to Porky (and Rodney) after all that trouble.

I do wish we coulda had more development/episodes after this season, but from my experience with Duck Dodgers s3… I think I’m comfortable with this being the season finale.

Yeah, I honestly recommend switching Super rabbit with Best friends redux, you’ll get more bang for your buck if you watch the show and just do that for those last two episodes. And maybe omit Casa de Calma out of your watchlist jkjk unless…? 👀

Also just to end things off unprofessionally, this clip also is just an excuse for me to gush over Joe Alaskey’s Daffy cuz WOW he is one of my favourite Daffy vas to date! Y’all realize just how insanely smooth that clip transition is? That is ALL HIM. I’m so attached to this man’s voice I really can’t emphasize just how much I love his Daffy voice. He lives in memory 😔🙏🙏🙏

Obligatory Shadow’s height post

This post was brought to you by my own self-indulgence into the thesis statement that is: What would be the heights of all the hedgehogs if they weren’t boosted by heels? And how tall would they be after puberty?

So this was the product of my personal venture.

Canon heights (plus the differentiating shoe types):

Amy = 90 cm*

Sonic, Shadow & Silver = 100 cm

(*Looking at Amy’s model to the height chart is bizarre to me. Disregarding the added height from her heels for a moment, she looks like she should be regarded as 95 cm at least…)

Since all of all the hedgehogs but Sonic are shown to have heels to their shoes in some way, I will be cutting down that height by roughly converting their shoes into sneakers since they’ll never NOT be wearing shoes (note: it’s mostly guesstimates).

Ignore me playing around with Shadow’s shoes in this one lmao

Anyways, after some editing, this was the final result I got. The way they measure the 3D models are p weird, and I came to notice that Silver has slightly smaller eyes and lowered ears to acommodate for his quill crown look, so that makes things slightly harder for my naked eye.

By height order, Sonic (trusting that his shoes aren’t elevating him more than necessary) would be the tallest at the default 100 cm + shoes. He would be considered the oldest at 16 since he technically had an in-world birthday but let’s just say he’d be months older than Shadow.

2nd tallest is Silver at ~98 cm + shoes. His back heel was 2-3 cm, so cutting it down results in him being rather unchanged — which I find interesting considering you’d figure he’d be shorter from being second youngest of the group (and the whole bad future sitch which doesn’t inspire a likelihood that he’d have consistent food servings for optimal growth). If his genes can get him near the height of Sonic in spite of inconsistent food source, I’d wager he might end up the tallest in the future.

3rd place is Shadow at ~95 cm + shoes. His hover shoes gave him 6 cm max of extra height. Taking into account his shoes structure which seemed to resemble the structure of rollerblades (which shaped itself around the foot of the wearer), I gave him a couple inches of soles when putting him in running shoes. He’s probably of average height for a 15 yr old male mobian hedgehog, but considering he was artificially made and apparently ages slowly physically — I get the sense that he might not grow that much in time, if at all.

4th place is Amy at… okay this one was funky. Amy in the initial reference wasn’t measured under the same standard the others were (y’know... by their heads…). So in spite of being said to be 90 cm, I’ll just say that in this instance, Amy was 95 cm plus heeled boots. Thus, the resulting removal of those heels, led to Amy being 90 cm. Honestly, considering she’s a 12 yr old female mobian hedgehog, and is only has a 10 cm gap apart from the current tallest who’s already in the midst of his teen years — she’s probably of average height for her age and sex. She will likely end up reaching at least 95 cm (all confirmed 14 yr old and over female mobians have reached 95 cm) — whether she goes over that height is anyone’s guess.

In summary…

If I were to predict how the hedgehog height chart will be past their growth spurts… I’d say without any changes to their current lifestyles, Silver will overtake Sonic and reach 115 cm, while Sonic reaches 105 cm, Shadow will be in a stasis of 95 cm, and Amy would probably be at 95 cm (since without other female hedgehog mobians in the games to really draw a comparison on, she’s best presumed to just end up in the average height).

One detail I keep coming back to is whether I should call to question the Amy’s height disparity from the references I gathered. Iirc the models here are pretty accurate to what I see in cutscenes between Sonic and Amy height wise. 90 cm makes sense for Amy’s natural height to Sonic, but adding her heels should explain away why her game model is taller than 90 cm. But given canon heights are usually incorporating characters’ heels into them — it makes this isolated incident all the more jarring.

Sigh... -inhales-

“AMY IN HEELS SHOULD CANONICALLY BE 95 CM COME AT ME—“

A Longwinded analysis of Deco 27′s “Vampire” song

Yes it’s explicitly about sex. This was a result of my short-term memory ass realizing I forgot that this song was about sex and then I wanted to analyse it in detail for some form of reference for next time when I forget.

So this song — from what I gathered, from what seems to be a better translated english sub from reddit — is about a person that thrives on sexual pleasure and gratification, symbolised by the fact that they refer to themselves as a “vampire” — a creature that traditionally lives off of mortal fluids. _They conveniently don’t seem to say blood in any of the verses._

All the teasing and suggestive lyrics can tie to the long established trope of vampires being pretty sexualised and deviant since their conception. The intimacy of sucking on someone’s neck (which could easily be equated to giving someone a hickey), or being close enough to hear their breathing.

Throughout the song, the vampire displays feelings of possessiveness and jealousy towards a guy. In spite of being implied to sleep with multiple other partners. But it’s also noted that their attachment is loose for everyone except him. Something about how they (or they could be referring to the guy) try to be strong, but they can’t fight their urges (also plays off of the trope of vampires trying to resist their blood lust).

The vampire is conflicted in their desire for noncommittal hookups, and their growing fondness for this specific guy — they want to have all of him. They’ve also become so bored of one night stands, that they’re emotionally distant to their one time partners (no niceties beforehand, just sex). The person they seem to get any real feelings for makes them act up to the point of desperation — basically screaming for sex/love.

In the soft section, they get into how they’ve been thinking about their secret thoughts and feelings: can’t express them and they don’t regard them as important to express anyway. And then they say:

  “I’ll just use you to pass the time until morning comes”

It’s vague whether this is directed to the guy they’re screaming for, or one of the many partners they’ve slept with.

I think the end section where they now change it to say

 “You’re a vampire. You can suck it” in contrast to “I’m a vampire. Is it okay if I suck on it?” is up for multiple interpretations.

Also just for further clarification: the first vampire says “You’re also a vampire” so yeah there’s now two “vampires”. But this probably equates to the guy on his end throwing away any inhibitions and giving himself to the vampire fully, thus turning him into a “vampire”.

The guy had been teasing this vampire for so long, but I think since he is now addressed as a vampire too, it could either imply that he allowed the vampire to give them a “love bite”, making him theirs. Or the guy was a vampire the whole time, like a slave to gratification just like vampire number one.

Either way, the “please come back again” at the end of the song doesn’t sound like the vampire got to address their implied deeper desires for full commitment to this guy. But also, vampires live long lives, so I bet committment is a tall order when most potential partners would die within a fraction of their lifespan. Commitment for vampires would probably be like “do whatever the fuck you want for the next few decades but we better stay in contact my love”.

Anyways. Omg sex guys 🥵🥵🥵

Sonic Movie 2 Bingo reveal

So this is a post from me after watching it for the first time. had a bingo card and everything for it (note: I did some editing near the end leading up to the movie). I’ll post snippets of my thoughts on the movie later.

(Please ignore the “Dr Stone” one, I mixed his name with Dr Starline)

So my thought process was ”Okay, Sonic’s quill was given emphasis in the hands of Eggman, Metal Sonic might get alluded to” and then I got squat.

Was also in the mindset of “I think we could get an indirect CD reference with Metal and Amy appearance next movie before Shadow” but, wrong again.

Some of these were before the Knuckles series announcement and you can tell.

And I’ll be honest, I was prolly cheating with the “more Sonic music” and “Sonic saying more pop culture references” cuz it was obvious and inevitably on brand for this movie franchise.

Anyway, short post. Have a good one.
