Upon further listening, Emotion Side B is not disappointing at all, it is every bit as fantastic as last year's album.

That wasn't about the Steven Universe background.
I was talking about TAZ becoming a popular subject for fan art, which often becomes Serious Business (to hilarious effect) for a lot of people.

TAZ has been a popular fan art subject for literally two years now, it's not like it's a new development.

You must be a masochist
I'm anxious about what happens if someone retweets a piece of fan art that doesn't support someone else's headcanon/ship/etc. People can get fixated on fantasy stories that present a "progressive" worldview, and can get irrationally upset when they're not progressive in the precise way they want.

Edit: The plots don't support the worst of it, I suppose, but still and all... people can be terrible.

Nothing happens because the actual people in question generally like seeing multiple interpretations of characters instead of this imaginary hateful poo poo that y'all are assuming they do! Like I've been following the adventure zone tag on tumblr for a year or so now because I like the art people make for it and I've never once seen people be lovely about things like that -- hell, there's a charity fundraising campaign going on right now for a TAZ zine with a bunch of different people's takes on characters/events/scenes that looks really cool: http://theadventurezine.tumblr.com/

Turns out that just because people like scudworth are gleefully fantasizing about that sort of thing doesn't mean it's really happening

I think you're reading a level of malice or disdain into scudworth's posts that I didn't pick up on.

That said, I hope their speculation doesn't become reality, and I'm pretty sure it won't. The TAZ fanart community is really cool from what I've seen. The NV fanart community always did seem a bit rabid even from the beginning.

How do you miss the disdain in "I can't wait for tumblr to be lovely about this", with the :qq: emote and everything

Edit: it's true that every fandom basically sucks but we can at least enjoy the period where it doesn't show

When I was visiting my parents last weekend I was watching Car Boys on my laptop. My mom, who has not played a video game since Ms. Pac-Man and hasn't watched an internet video since Charlie Bit My Finger, stopped to watch and started cracking up. She told me that "those are the funniest boys I've ever heard" and now she is watching Car Boys on her own.

Car Boys rules.

Thanks for the notes, I'll try harder in the future. The joke as conceived was a light-hearted jab at what I perceived to be a disconnect between the seemingly mundane inanities of what Griffin and co are playing and the uproarious laughter that ensues. Legos, a block toy for autistic children, serving as a hyperbolic example.

Obviously I'm in the minority, but hey that's just more great content for you guys :)

Yeah I can see how somebody would not get down on car boys. The majority of the comedy is coming from the game itself, so if that's not your thing then it's going to fall flat.



Can we maybe agree to not jump down people's throats for saying they don't like a thing we like?

EDIT: Oh my god I thought people didn't like spore because it didn't deliver on its creators' promises, but it really just isn't a very good game, huh?

The last episode of MF made me go, "Hey, I almost want to mess around with Spore again." Then I saw it was still like forty loving dollars and said "gently caress no."

This new episode is making me feel pretty good about that decision!

Relistening to the eleventh hour really reminds me just how loving good this show is. I'm going to miss our boiz when we move on to the next campaign. Griffin's really gotten good at this, too, I wonder if Travis is nervous at all about following it up. :v: Clint said he wanted to do a superhero-based campaign, too, and I can't even loving imagine what he'd be like in the driver's seat.
