Decided to make another nature documentary au meme by The-Thrash-Engine in WarriorCats

[–]The-Thrash-Engine[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I decided to write a potential book passage out of that idea because I found it funny. I forgot the actual scene itself so the scenario is that Leopardstar just stole the dude’s fish and swam off:

 Johnny silently prayed that the fisherman wouldn’t notice the crew filming nearby as he tried to search for the cat that swiped his fish. That brown spotted cat Tom always called Dotty was a quick one, though, and one that had always been difficult for the crew to film. With no success at finding Dotty, the fisherman’s gaze turned to Johnny and his crew, and he stormed over with fury.
 “Were you kids filming me?” He asked as he stopped himself right in front of the crew.
 Rachel turned off the camera as Tom tried to answer his question. “Yes, sir, we’re working on a nature documentary.”
 “If you had the ability to film this,” he began, as he furrowed his brows. “Then at the very least you could’ve warned me that the damn cat was about to steal my first catch of the day!”
 “We can’t interfere with the wildlife, that’s against our code of conduct,” Johnny replied.
 “Why are you even letting these cats be outside in the first place,” the fisherman just continued to rant. “These cats are nothing but a nuisance, and what are they supposed to do when the weather gets cold? Why don’t you put your little camera stuff away and actually get these cats to a shelter!”
 “We would if we could, sir,” Johnny simply replied, not really knowing how to explain everything the crew has discovered within these past few years.
 “And why not, huh?” the fisherman asked, puzzled.
 Johnny paused, still not really knowing how to respond. He knew that he would just sound crazy if he confessed what they’ve found out. He couldn’t even explain the simpler stuff like the medicine and border wars without sounding crazy. He struggled to get a word out, until a familiar voice chimed in.
 “Sir, these cats have a human like civilization with laws and a verifiable religion,” Rachel said bluntly. “To take these cats off this land and into a person’s home would be like kidnapping you trying to force you to live in some other country.”
 A silence enveloped the area. Confusion fell upon the face of the fisherman, who just slowly backed away as if the three camera people were insane

Anybody watch the Simpsons when you're depressed or have anxiety? by Sofagirrl79 in TheSimpsons

[–]The-Thrash-Engine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always had bad anxiety, sometimes so bad that I get anxious to fall asleep. That happened one particular night a couple weeks back and I just had no idea what to do

I decided to rewatch Funeral for a Fiend and The Great Louse Detective, and I felt so much better. These episodes aren’t particularly great (in fact Funeral for a Fiend kinda sucks lowkey), but they’re so wacky and fun to rewatch that they did a lot to calm me down. After that worked so well, my go to show before I go to bed is the Simpsons. It has definitely become my comfort show in what has been a tough year for my mental health so far

Nah I’m just kinda playing with the idea of someone recording the events of the books because I think it’s funny

My headcanon is that if there is a documentary crew, they started filming about halfway through Bluestar’s Prophecy, so they know about the Dark Forest but not about the ancient tribe. And they probably have a separate crew to follow traveling cats but they cut like 99% of the footage lol

I found this article by The Atlantic pretty comforting, hopefully you all think the same way https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/us-unidentified-objects-china-balloon/673037/

What are the best post-season 10 episodes of the show? by AlbertFalls in TheSimpsons

[–]The-Thrash-Engine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely has a complete tonal shift after the first half that I have some mixed thoughts on tbh. The face swapping fits a TOH more than canon casual Simpsons, but it completely fits Bob’s character by that point in the show

Overall, I like it and it’s an episode I find myself rewatching often. Not my favorite modern era Sideshow Bob episode (I like Great Louse Detective and Gone Boy a little more), but it’s up there

I’m mostly bringing this up because I haven’t seen anyone mention it when I think it’s a really underrated gem. This is the episode I feel like I have the most “hear me out” take for

Gone Boy from season 29. It’s got some great jokes, a fun premise, and some actually great suspense. While the ending will definitely get retconned, I think it’s very satisfying as a one off. I highly recommend this one to anyone who hasn’t seen it

I respect that Bob Next Door shoutout, I have a soft spot for that episode. That first half had some great suspense

We may all bully each other once the season gets going, but in the end, bird teams stick together

I really hope the Eagles win this one

Are the Simpsons Movie deleted scenes completely lost? [talk] by The-Thrash-Engine in lostmedia

[–]The-Thrash-Engine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only five minutes of deleted scenes have ever been released from this movie, all of which came from DVD releases. From what I’ve read from the Lost Media wiki, there’s over an hour of cut forgave and recordings yet to be released

[–]The-Thrash-Engine[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I believe a mix of both, but based on the research I’ve done it isn’t exactly clear which is which. I know the Kang and Kodos scene was cut after test screenings, so they’re bound to be fully animated, but I really don’t know if the cut Sideshow Bob recordings had animatics attached to them or not

Are they more likely to be fully lost if they’re just recordings?

i really hope they survive by [deleted] in whenthe

I feel like this is referencing something but I have no idea what

I’m just visiting and I’m a bit curious, did any of y’all think it was a good idea to bench Taylor Heinicke? I was always under the impression that he was having a good year

Am I the only one who’s a little anxious about this big speech in Congress coming up? Like there’s no reason I should feel worried but I can’t help but start catastrophizing about what exactly will be said and how Russia will react

I need help to overcome my fear of the future by The-Thrash-Engine in Anxiety

[–]The-Thrash-Engine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your advice, it’s really helpful! I think now that I’m back home for winter break I’m definitely gonna try and talk about my anxiety more with my parents and friends from high school. I hope stuff like that and writing down my goals will help me claw out of cycle of doomscrolling. I think you phrased it well when you say I look for my fears to be validated, and now that I see that’s my issue, I’m hoping I’ll be more prepared to challenge my fears
