Day in Fandom History: NOVEMBER 3RD

Created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network, the series centers on two half-brothers who travel across a mysterious forest to find their way home, encountering a variety of strange and fantastical things on their journey. It was broadcasted throughout the week of November 3 to November 7, 2014.

OVER THE GARDEN WALL’S first episode “THE OLD GRIST MILL” premiered on this day, six years ago

And now one of the people who guards the football has tested positive. Great.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Just remembered not everyone knows what the football is. It’s the briefcase with the nuclear launch codes in it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The football is passed between five people, one from each of the five branches of the armed forces. At least one of them is within run and tackle distance of the president at all times from what I understand. The guy who tested positive is the one from the coast guard.

[day-time-dream]

roman i cannot tell if you are being serious because we live in a hell-country where this is entirely plausible

[what-even-is-thiss]

Everyone who sees this, I want you to google “nuclear football” right now.

[aromantic-goldfishdeactivated202]

Jesus fucking Christ

[i-dont-know-how-to-exist]

im sorry did i just read on google that the usa president is authorized to launch a fucking nuclear bomb at any moment for any reason

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yes? Before today I thought everyone knew at least this part lol. Since like the 1950s the leaders of the then USSR now Russia and the USA have had the ability to launch a nuclear strike at any time. The leader of China and the other nuclear states probably do too. I don’t think other countries have an equivalent to the football? Or if they do then I haven’t heard of it.

This is a also huge part of the reason people want to get Drumpf out of office so badly. Yes there’s the literally everything else but he’s also the one in charge of the big red button right now. Commander-in-chief of the armed forces I’ll remind you. That’s another reason why perceived temperament is really important for a lot of people when choosing the president. We don’t just have to think about this person’s policies. We have to think about whether or not we trust them with the football. The proverbial big red button. The key to ending life as we know it.

Remember that when picking presidents for the rest of your lives, everyone.

[fairyofsomething]

What the actual shit. I thought the big red button was just a wacky plot device in tv.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Did people actually think this was fake? MAD is still a guiding philosophy of international relations. We got dangerously close to nuclear war with North Korea in 2017 by the way I dunno if you remember that. A former Trump official said that for days he thought it was going to happen for sure and he spent a bunch of time every day for over a week praying in the national cathedral. This stuff is real.

[thetyrannosaur]

The codes were actually lost for several months during the clinton administration. They managed to keep that under wraps until 2010

[charitydump]

For the first 20 years the passcode to launch nuclear warheads and quite possibly end all life as we know it was, and i am not joking,

00000000

Yep, we were just eight zeros away from nuclear annihilation for 20 years.

And this was actually better than the alternative bc the Generals didnt want a code at all!

Also if youre upset about this… maybe nows not the time to tell yall that the US military is actually really bad at keeping thier nukes safe

Glad to see we’re all in agreement that cats talk like disparaged victorian children

[explorerrowan]

I am so incredibly glad we finally moved on from "i can has". Cats are clearly smart enough for advanced sentence structure and dumb enough to draw entirely incorrect conclusions about what they're talking about.

[dualclock]

My cat, banging the cabnet door over and over and over: bang bang bang

Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.

My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang

Me: ksst!

My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!

Me: ok

My cat, after waiting about 3 minutes: bang bang bang

It has happened.

I have purchased Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus

Will provide updates

[headspace-hotel]

IT’S HERE

[headspace-hotel]

I’m going to start it pretty soon. I’m for some reason locked out of my student account and email and IT was no help as usual, so what is there to do except read a parody romance novel written specifically to spite J.K. Rowling?

Chuck Tingle has more or less become a meme because of his bizarre titles and covers and because of the Hugo fiasco, but I’ve heard relatively little about what it’s like to actually read his work and I frankly have no idea what to expect or if I should go into this with expectations at all

[headspace-hotel]

This book is...surprisingly easy to take seriously as a book. I don’t know what I’m trying to say. But it’s like. A Book and not just an extended joke. Like on some level it’s not particularly terribly written nor does the plot like, completely exist in service to the...whatever humor is derived from the self-aware absurdity of the premise

[headspace-hotel]

AFSGFBCHH??

I love that he’s not even described as a humanoid dinosaur. He’s just sexy goth tattooed Severus snape and he’s also a parasaurolophus and we are left to just figure it out

[headspace-hotel]

I have to talk about what is going on with the worldbuilding. Like this is a parody. Of Harry Potter. But there’s an entirely different magic system and....everything???

In summary

there doesn’t appear to be a statute of secrecy type thing magic is just fully integrated with the modern world and modern technology

Harriet is a wizard, but that means that she creates spells by typing them out in long manuscripts, which on one level is a nod to the book publishing industry but on another level is kind of interesting in of itself

there’s a??? spellcasting industry??

there are different types of magic users other than wizards, and they appear to be based on the d&d classes

or at least, bards exist and they are distinct from wizard

the dinosaur is a bard

Bigfeet exist and they are integrated with modern society

there are sentient motorcycles and no one finds this in any way unusual

THE DINOSAUR IS A BARD?!?!?!

[headspace-hotel]

...Warlocks in this world get their powers from a pact with Chuck Tingle

[headspace-hotel]

The fourth wall break is killing me.

[headspace-hotel]

The sexy dinosaur is also trans

[headspace-hotel]

As much as I love skillfully crafted satire that takes deft jabs at the flaws of the thing it’s lampooning, there’s also something charming about how every character in this book has a name blatantly and hilariously derived from a Harry Potter character regardless of how most of their roles in the story barely resemble anything like characters in Harry Potter.

...You know, I’m not even sure Chuck Tingle has read Harry Potter.

[headspace-hotel]

I’m back to reading. Does chocolate milk have intoxicating effects on sentient motorcycles??

...sentences I never thought I’d write

[headspace-hotel]

um im lowkey getting feels from this like there are some genuinely emotionally resonant bits in here what the fuck

[headspace-hotel]

chuck tingle’s magic system is unironically better than jk Rowling’s I’m sorry

[headspace-hotel]

I’m so sorry to sample the sex scene but. “sexualis secondus” just killed me. I have been pronounced dead by this book. im obliterated this is indescribable

[headspace-hotel]

I.

I literally have no idea how to describe what I’m experiencing right now. Like this is a somewhat poorly edited parody adult dinosaur romance novel but. It’s genuinely?? Creative?? In a lot of ways???? And there’s a lot of heart to it, a lot of genuine powerful messages about identity and about art and creativity and the fourth-wall-breaking device is...I can’t explain it because that would spoil it but it’s actually pulled off so well?????

This is not like, a humorous joke story this guy did for Being a Little Shit and Spite reasons, it’s like actually in its themes and message a genuine “fuck you” to j.k. Rowling’s transphobia even though it’s this absolutely wild janky batshit story and I have never experienced anything like this in my LIFE

I did not expect my adhd little heart to be touched by understanding of my fears about creativity and writing and its place in my life. Not like this. What the fuck. What the fuck.
