No more fish, fish in the sea

Just a fandom blog for a fanboy. Maybe some art and writing. I answer to Alex. The triple cipher is Wine, Women, Song.

So I fell off the face of the planet for a few months.  Shit’s just been.  A lot.

Two more relatives with cancer (a great-uncle with cancer in his bladder and a great-aunt with breast cancer; they’re both doing very well given the circumstances, with her having surgery and radiation and him having just surgery), car troubles, the expected issues of moving, issues with my finaid, all that shit.

I’m also really into the new DuckTales now.

May accidentally be trying to write filk of Bowie’s Blue Jean about Barry Bluejeans.

The one impression I’m any good at is Paul Bearer.

And he just randomly starts going I CAN’T WAIT TO GET YOU ON MY SLAB SEXY BOY.

[thepasswordispeekaboo]

OOOOOH YES!

It really is hilarious that I never remember the Glorious 25th until the Glorious 25th is upon us.  (This year, @inconstancyisaconstant pointed it out to me yesterday).

Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away, like old silverware that you didn't want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart. And today, of all days...

A TAZ filk of Mister Sandman. I came up with the idea between episodes 57 and 58 when I was really worried about Magnus, and when the clone theory was confirmed I had to actually write the thing. I would pretend that some part of it made sense at the time, but honestly that would be a lie. 

Music by Pat Ballard; arrangement by Madelyn Curtin; filk lyrics by Scribe.

Lyrics:

Mr. Garfield clone me a boy If you can do it I’ll jump for joy Give him a face that’s rustically charming And a physique that’s just a bit disarming Garfield, I’m so upset He’s a protector who can’t protect So cast your spells and don’t be coy Oh Mr. Garfield clone me a boy!

Mr. Garfield clone me a boy If you can do it I’ll jump for joy You have his blood and nightmarish powers And this entire world could end in hours Garfield, I’m so upset He’s a protector who can’t protect So cast your spells and don’t be coy Oh Mr. Garfield clone me a boy!

Mr. Garfield clone me a boy Replace that body that got destroyed Make sure his blows and hugs will be crushing And that his legs are strong and built for rushing Garfield, make me a deal He needs a body that can fight and feel So cast your spells and don’t be coy Oh Mr. Garfield clone me, oh please please please Mr. Garfield clone me a boy!

This is absolutely spectacular and I am so happy it exists.

Apparently no one has drawn Sonic the Hedgehog wearing heels, and I find this appalling. And NOW I want nothing more in the world then an image to exist, somewhere, of the cast of sonic the hedgehog wearing high heeled shoes. Preferably in styles suited to them, while just doing Normal Sonic Game Stuff, but I would settle for a plain lineup. 

I think I need to save up for a commission for literaly no other reason then this needing to exist, but somehow it DOESN’T. Nowhere in this world is an image of Sonic the Hedgehog grinding a sick rail in a pair of these-

I just don’t understand

I suck at sprite editing.

It’s been like five years, and I apparently still die laughing when I think of WALKING EYE.

TAZ spoilers for the newest episode under the cut.

I cannot believe the real enemy was giving up on the good in the world the whole time.

I actually can, and I fucking love that.  I adore that the enemy isn’t really a primordial evil, but a man, and a planet, who have convinced themselves that there is nothing good worth fighting for and that eternity is far, far too long a time.

I think one thing I’m gonna do this summer is watch all the MCU movies in release order, so that I may have Opinions about them.

[thepasswordispeekaboo]

Reading about planned X-Men movies.

New Mutants:  Yeah I might have to see that in theaters, but I probably won’t.  I like the list of characters for it.  I’m probably going to be annoyed by it to a huge extent once it comes out.  This is my life.  Yelling about X-Men movies is a major hobby for me.

Deadpool 2:  I am so excited you have no idea.  I hope Cable and Domino are good.  I desperately want Cable to be well done.

Dark Phoenix:  LET JEAN GREY DIE AND STAY DEAD.  I HAVE BEEN TIRED OF THIS FOR TEN YEARS.  PEOPLE OLDER THAN ME HAVE BEEN TIRED OF IT FOR DECADES MORE.  LET JEAN GREY STAY DEAD.

Just got back from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

The short, spoiler free review is:  If you liked the first movie, go see the second one.  It’s not quite as good, but it’s still awesome.

The spoilery rambles follow.

I never in my fucking life thought I would see an Ego the Living Planet movie.

Like, okay, when I was ten I didn’t think I’d see an Iron Man or Cap movie, and I’d never fucking heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy when the first one was announced (though my dad and my uncle were over in their corner going WHAT THE HELL HOW)

But seriously, Ego the fucking Living Planet movie.  That’s what this is.  And it’s great.  It’s fucking awesome.  They made an Ego the Living Planet movie I want to see again.  I love the MCU sometimes.

There are so many things in Guardians of the Galaxy that make me stop and go, “I don’t understand that, but I bet a bigger or older nerd than me is out there right now going HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY MENTIONED THE THING.”

I wasn’t quite as into the soundtrack this time around, though it’s still really good.  I kept waiting for That Moment I had with the first film, where I was fucking blown away by the combination of Moonage Daydream and those first shots of Knowhere, and I didn’t get it till very near the end of the movie, with The Chain and fucking hell.  It was very good.

(I’m a huge fan of Bowie and Fleetwood Mac, so take my opinions there with a grain of salt.)

The Stan Lee cameo was very good, and I was so delighted to see the Watchers.

I’m kind of tired of the MCU.  I’m not up to date on it at all; there’s like five of them I haven’t seen yet.  It’s just gotten overwhelming and kind of boring and frustrating, because I don’t like the interpretations of a lot of the characters and I’m a picky piece of shit.

But Guardians of the Galaxy remains fun, even when it makes me sad as hell by KILLING MY FAVORITE CHARACTER.  Oh Yondu.  I called your death by the time the final battle was starting, and I was sadly right.

Guardians of the Galaxy leaves me wanting more of this universe instead of picking apart all the nitpicky little things that annoyed me.  (And while I also do that with the XMCU, I enjoy nitpicking the XMCU while the MCU just leaves me tired, but my feelings about the Fox/Disney split is really counter to the point of this ramble.)

Guardians of the Galaxy still makes me feel like I felt when we were just starting to get good superhero movies.

Also I saw this on the wiki page for it and I’m so upset this wasn’t in the final cut of the film:  “Lee filmed several different versions of the scene, including the final film's version where he references his cameo in Captain America: Civil War; and an alternative where he references his role in Deadpool, which would have been the first acknowledgment of the X-Men film series by an MCU film.”

So the actual important thing about the graduation ceremony wasn’t that it was a graduation ceremony, but that my mom came.

My mom has left Louisiana once in the last 15 years, and that was for a funeral.  The only times my mom’s been further than about an hour from home in 15 years have been when someone’s been hospitalized (and even then it’s been in state, my dad in New Orleans and my brother in Lafayette).

So that was really, really cool.

emeraldincandescent:  Graduation ceremonies are overrated. Congrats on your Chacos, my sister used to work at a summer camp and everyone she knew swore by them.

Right now I’m still adjusting to them, and they feel very alien as compared to my well worn Teva sandals, but I think I’m going to like them once I get more used to them.  I gotta have my good everyday sandal or I will forget how to use my feet.

[thepasswordispeekaboo]

Today I took an important step in my life that will effect everything that comes after it:

I bought a pair of Chacos.

(Also I did the graduation ceremony or whatever.)
