the hourglass

i love cartoons, art, stories and everything '90s. she/her

[the-hourglass83]

Then: I was a kid in the '80s and a teen in the '90s. I watched Nickelodeon, the Disney Afternoon and Cartoon Network, and wrote fanfiction and RPGs about it with my friends in a spiral notebook. 😆 I studied English and art in college and love to write and draw.

Now: I do communications and social media for a living. Wish I had more free time to write and create for fun. My goal is to carve some time out soon to start making and posting my own stuff again. Until then, exploring your creations brings me lots of joy.

First fandom: Mystery Science Theater 3000

Current obsession: Discworld! I finally read my first of The Watch series and now going down a huuuge rabbit hole. #VetinariforPresident

If Rabbit's not your favorite Winnie the Pooh character, I don't know what to tell you.

I'm listening to episodes of the New Adventures of Nero Wolfe radio show from 1950 with Sydney Greenstreet. Archie just described a beautiful woman who walked through the door as "Venus de Milo with arms." 😅

i have seen this post on my dash 7 times now and every time i think more loudly, 'this is what Batman villain The Penguin's dialogue sounds like when they let him be fun to watch.'

Saw someone say they think the person in the foreground of this shot is Steve and if it is it makes the poses and expressions on Sam + Bucky's faces so much funnier.

surprisingly forward-thinking of jim henson and co. to make a female character in the 70's that's allowed to be loud-mouthed and violent and kind of overwhelmingly romantic and even a huge bitch at times and not have a moment where any character asks her to change

[ankle-beez]

going through all the muppet movies in a row made me realize that like. miss piggy was made in the 70's. and it's so rare even today to have a character like her. she's loud, she's selfish, she's funny, she's extremely vain, she's obsessed with romance, she's violent, she's kind of annoying, and there's not a single moment in any of these films where she's asked to tone down any of these personality traits. i am not joking when i say that miss piggy might be one of the best treated female characters ever written

The facial expressions of everyone trying not to lose it are killing me

Vetinari's approach to problem solving in the City Watch series is basically the Gandalf approach where every problem can be solved with a Hobbit (or several) except instead of Hobbits it's Sam Vimes

Every time I reach this part on a Feet of Clay reread I have to remind myself that this is actual canon
