You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yup, I am drinking my vodka-tonic from one of my several Adventure Time glasses.

It is, in fact, BMO! BMO is the best! Yay BMO!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
This might possibly be the most brilliant animated series I've seen.
Haaaaaaaaave you seen Steven Universe?
Adventure Time is pretty great, though lately I feel like I'm watching more out of inertia than actual enjoyment.
BMO!!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Matilda and I got back a little while ago from this event at SF Sketchfest (got free tickets after Sketchfest offered comps to every ticketholder for the Galavant event after it ended up short two actors), and it was utterly wonderful. Matilda wore this shirt, and Tom Kenney admired it tremendously and said that he wished his 12-year-old daughter had come so that she and Matilda could talk Labyrinth trivia together. And Maria Bamford is lovely and quietly, snarkily funny, John DiMaggio is a terrifying energy ball (who may possibly have drowned her and the others out just a bit), and Kent Osborne, credited in the blurb as a voice actor, is actually mostly a writer and told many writerly stories about how the show is constructed and how the writers have worked out various characters' backstories.
It really should have been Hec seeing it with Matilda, but he is eyeball deep in deadlines and fretful project heads, so I escorted Matilda (but he signed a Lumpy Space King postcard for Hec, with the encouraging message: "Stay Frosty!").

I'm not jealous. That's my regular face.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Anyone else watching RWBY? It's gotten much darker this season and I don't know how I feel about it.

I might possibly be more concerned about RWBY if it came out often enough for me to keep all the characters and plot threads straight in my head.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...RWBY...much darker this season....
Much. Right from the start of the opening lyrics:
Maybe red's like roses?
Maybe it's the pool of blood
The innocents will lay in
When in the end you've failed to save them?

I would imagine that most of the production crew would be feeling a lot more grim this season.

Yeah, I had a sinking feeling about the tone of the season from the opening credits, both based on the lyrics and the imagery.
As annoying as the release schedule is (especially with the World of Remnant docs interspersed with the actual episodes and the delay if you're not an RT subscriber) at least the episodes have consistently been in the 10-15 minute range this season. There were several episodes in season 1 where the opening and closing credits were longer than the actual content.
I understand them being a lot more somber with Monty Oum's passing and I know they're supposed to working from his notes. I just originally started watching it as mildly-silly high-action escapism, so the darker turn wasn't really what I was looking for.
I'm still not sure what the bad guys' agenda is. Seems like everyone getting eaten by monsters would be bad for them, too.
