I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, sometimes you just gotta stir the cat food and close your eyes.

There’s a lot of Scooby Doo stuff on Netflix

A follow up in my sketchbook

This is unironically one of the better written, in-character, funny pieces of Scooby-Doo media in the past decade

As someone who’s written dialogue for Scoob and been paid for it… I endorse this take. :)

“Now let’s see who’s REALLY under this mask”

“Diane Duane, critically acclaimed novelist?”

no no no but Bruno leaving not because he didn't love his family, not because there was a vision that would hurt his family, but leaving because his vision would change how the family looked at his sobrina is the most heartbreaking thing

if the vision had just shown the Miracle fading, Casita cracking, but had no one else, he would have stayed, and probably helped to figure out what that meant.

and i'm sure he thought about that as the vision was being created, he thought that he'd show his mother, and they'd figure things out.

but then Mirabel appeared in the vision, and all bets were off.

Bruno saw a grown-up version of his sobrina.

his kindhearted sobrina who wore glasses his color green so that she'd match everyone in the family in some way.

his little sobrina who spent the night after her ceremony crying in her room, all alone.

his wonderful sobrina who did her absolute best to light up every room she entered.

his precious sobrina, who was only five, and who was struggling to make her family proud.

If it was just the house, Bruno would stay.

But he refused to put Mirabel through more heartbreak, more ostracization.

and the fact that finding that out shocked Mirabel is so sad, because to her, she was the ungifted Madrigal. She was clumsy, always in the way, and nobody special.

So someone putting her first, someone doing something to take care of her, to protect her, is so out of the ordinary, so unfamiliar to her, that it takes a moment for her to actually understand.

And I don't think she really did understand.

The only people who truly loved her after her ceremony were her parents and Antonio. She couldn't fathom one of her gifted family members actually thinking about her and putting her in front of everything else.

Bruno's thought process of "protect Mirabel first, save the Miracle and the Family second" is so incredibly bittersweet, because Mirabel can't imagine why anyone would do that.

(it's the same with Antonio saying "I need you" during his ceremony because no one's ever needed just Mirabel)

Who was your bisexual awakening and why was it Ardeth Bay from the hit films The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001)

literally illegal and a crime against me personally (which is the worst kind of crime) for a man to be that perfect

no sorry

it was Evelyn Carnahan (later, O’Connell) from the hit films The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001)

Ardeth Bay provided some very helpful contributions, however, it must be said.

May I offer Brendan Fraser from the hit films The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001)?

I had a crush on allllll 3 of them ngl. I watched at a later date than most being smol at the time of release but it stands

this is still….so funny

It was

Great thing about this episode is they blew the whole VFX budget for the season and basically the entire music budget on Tainted Love and Toxic that it resulted in cheaper effects and a cheaper score for the rest of the season and they really didn’t have to do that.

no, I digress, they did have to do that and aren’t we glad they did

Also worth remembering that this was literally the second episode of the first reboot series, the BBC took the gamble of bringing back Doctor Who after sixteen years and they blew the budget after two episodes.

tolkien fans are insufferable because you'll agree to watch the movies with them and then seven hours in they'll say "omg my favourite character is about to appear!" and it's a fucking siege weapon

I will not stand by while Grond, Hammer of the Underworld is slandered in such a way!

Three butch friends of mine finishing the basement of my first house around 1996.   They worked for beer, and not even anything fancy. 

Another set of butch friends (and me) finishing the ceiling in the garage of my house. Once again, they worked for beer. And food, but nothing fancy.
