Had my wallet in the washer machine. Forgot to pull it out of my pocket...-_-

Good news: Cards such as debit will be fine.
Bad news: Lost all my bus tickets. Gonna have to get more.

I respect women, treat them like living creatures
I miss Black History Month…was nice to be treated like an angel
Autism Awareness Month is next month, which means I can be treated like an angel once more

Rayquaza is not a snake. It can't learn Glare. All Snake Pokemon learn Glare and Only Snake Pokemon learn glare.
Fun fact: the idea that snakes have hypnotic eyes was invented by the Jungle Book movie. In the original book, Kaa used a dance to hypnotize the animals but when making the movie they didn't want to animate that dance. :yoshi:

Well the idea that snakes hypnotize their prey is also just a kind of folklore thing because snakes are motion based predators and often stare down their prey which then freezes up trying to keep the snake from seeing it while it's not moving and then to someone who doesn't know any better it looks like the snake is mesmerizing them. So mind controlling snakes was a thing before any version of the jungle book because people made flawed observations of the real world.

Your story is still true. Just not the whole story. Like people who say that Bugs Bunny invented the idea of rabbits liking carrots because he was parodying a popular comedian at the time who had a carrot chomping bit. That's partly true, and he was. But even in those early shorts the hunters were still bating their traps with carrots and saying that rabbits loved them. So the myth did not come from Bugs. It probably came from somewhere else that we've lost track of.

I know too much. Please end my suffering.

show-stopping at their feet
Splat's a hero
Splat just'can't let a show run for more tan three-seasons unless it's SpongeBob ro The Loud House
Yeeeeaah!
I’d say TMNT and Avatar are current exceptions, but they disrespected Rise and are replacing them with Rogen Turtles real soon (and instead they’ll focus even more on the NickTurtles and the 87 gang until August passes) and the Avatar franchise will keep Avataring until further notice…so yeah I guess just SpongeBob and Loud House

Get ready for Seth Rogen voicing Donatello y'all. Donatello doing the Seth Rogen laugh because he's a nerd! And to be a nerd he has to wear glasses to! Duh!

What's wrong with Quaquaval? The design encapsulates what it's supposed to be well.
You know me. I want a feminine starter. And like... it's so close but there's just a few details that make it not work for me and just make me think "oh it's just one of those fancy boy birds who dance but also a samba dancer, even though most samba dancers are girls" Like I almost feel robbed because it trips that close to the end with how it's previous forms are clearly little boys in sailor uniforms (like donald duck) and then it comes out of the closet and embraces it's camp as an adult and like... that's fine and all. The people who want that in a pokemon can get that. But now that means that yet again we don't have a true feminine starter pokemon like we used to with Delphox and Primarina.

Like if the females of the species just had a different feather pattern and maybe styled the weird head bobble differently for the first two stages and then just had a different head plumage in the final stage so they wouldn't have those harsh sharp eyebrow crests then maybe it would work for me... I don't know... I keep thinking about playing Scarlet or Violet but I just can't pick a starter because I really don't like any of them because they just refuse to give me something I can work with.

They really had to make the most feminine design possible then go "but it's a dude" right at the end.

actually the VA rumor is that the turtles are all being voiced by actual teens (someone even teased playing Raphael in the movie)

…but damn Rogatello would’ve been kinda funny

You know what would be amazing. A scene in a crowded subway where everyone who has previously played the turtles is all crowded in together all stepping over each others lines and yelling at each other. Almost like a parody of legacy cameo scenes but also to get all of them in the movie in a clever way.

the only issue with that is that they’d likely have to bring back Jason Biggs to the party (unless they were to pretend Seth Green was 2012 Leo’s only voice actor)

Did he actually do anything wrong? I thought he just tweeted something at an inappropriate time.

But they could get away with only doing Seth Green, sure.

Yep. However, those inappropriate tweets (which included politically sexual stuff and mocking dead people, aka the usual Twitter tweets to cost you a job) were enough for Nickelodeon to apologize for his actions. What made it worse was that Nick, using the TMNT Twitter account, was trying to promote the main casts accounts…and didn’t check what each actor would tweet beforehand. It was unfortunate since he did amazing as Leo for the time spent doing so.

Bright side to it all is that being fired from TMNT allowed for him to get sober and fix up his life.
