@Leucrotta I always took it to be about a young soldier in his first combat, who's--yeah, I guess "existential battlefield crisis" covers it.

How bout we...
...use "fish" wherever it's tempting to use the (misogynistic) word "bitch"?
Life's a fish, ain't it.
Stop yer fishin'!
Get out of my way, you hazy* fish!
I WANT MY FATHER BACK, YOU SONOFAFISH!!
* replacement for ableist word "crazy"
Not that people on Mastodon seem much inclined to use either of these words -- which is one of the things I've always liked about it.
We're still a heckin' great bunch of people.
We just need a bigger space, now that there are, what, 1.5m of us?

Working through being ace but not aro.
gawd I am allergic to the spring snow and it's EVERYWHERE and MY ENTIRE EPIDERMIS ITCHES gaaaaaahhhhh
@zebratron2084 I will *endeavor* to remember that. :D
@JulieSqveakaroo @zebratron2084 GOD YES. BOTH OF THESE uuuugggghhhhh "ha! ha! ha!" where the visual clues that the characters are laughing is 1. they have a smile on their face 2. their chest is heaving rhythmically.
@zebratron2084 eeeee *dances* :D
@001zlnv @zebratron2084 at least "Hiro Protagonist" had a clever explanation. XD
@001zlnv @zebratron2084 yeah, basically. which come to think of it there's already "He-Man" so...
@guerrillarain *gawd* yes. ;_____;
@kara@occult.camp *nodnod* I'll hold off on buying a pot and stuff for a while, then. XD
@kara@occult.camp @zebratron2084 yes! the pointless, nonstop violent "gags," especially with Tom & Jerry, were at best tedious and at worst very off-putting to me. same with Road Runner, mostly. Bugs was more of an ambiguous trickster archetype, so it wasn't like he was always the "good guy"--sometimes he got dunked too, though rarely.
@zebratron2084 I also disliked that female characters were rarely present, and when they were they were almost always "THE Girl," complete with being pink and wearing a bow because OTHERWISE HOW WILL WE KNOW IT'S A GIRL.
I *also* disliked (heh) how little thought was usually put into the background. like, in their *entire world*, only *one guy* in the *entire species* of lion-guys was named "Lion-O"? and only one panther-guy was "Panthera?" COME ON.
@zebratron2084 one thing that is particular to me is that dragons were always presented either as evil or goofy or both.
I mostly hated the "episodic" nature of the shows--how no matter what happened in any episode, everything would get completely reset to "normal" (usually with a little "laughing-with-the-Scrappy" moment in the last 20 seconds, Ho! Ho! Ho!) by the end of the episode. even then I understood why, but I still hated it.
@kara@occult.camp are you planning on bringing back some laurel cuttings? I'm still interested in helping to try growing one. :)
minor Solo spoilers, stuff I adored
@Leucrotta it was, I always enjoy seeing the "everyday" view from the Empire side, of the people who are being stormtroopers because they either were like Han--wanted out of a desperate situation, like people who join the US military now--or genuinely believe that they are the Good Guys, bringing Peace and Order to the Galaxy if they have to choke the living shit out of it one planet at a time. XD
Masto culture (-)
@Elizafox that's how tribal culture works--once you've established the in-group signals, it's time to get to work making sure there's an out-group to fight against, otherwise the in-group starts looking at slight signalling flaws as out-group signifiers... leaning left doesn't mean we magically scoop out or monkey hindbrains, after all. :/
@Leucrotta omgggggggg the dromaeosaurs 
💞 someday I need to commission you for my tattoo design of a feathered dinosaur with a crest saying "Life Finds A Way"...
