Rescuers Down Underdoesnt Get Enough Credit For A Lot Of Things, But One Creative Choice In Particular

Rescuers Down Under doesn’t get enough credit for a lot of things, but one creative choice in particular that I think should be talked about more is the movie’s decisions to mostly have real life fauna but then also making one of the main characters a dinosaur-sized eagle and just act as if that’s a thing that already exists.

Marahute is a gift.

Ea-Nasir was quite literally asking for this! He was made for this century!

Only Tumblr could see a mistranslated bit of Russian on a shoe about a nonexistent Scorcese movie, proceed to make almost every bit of evidence that the movie exists, and then engage in convincing cinema discourse about it to the exclusion of almost everything other than “Man, those Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel do the City Guy dirty”.

No one will ever make an actual algorithm work on this site, because the list of things that we will hype without so much as a nod to The New Hotness existing so far goes:

Sea Shanties

Old Edgar Allen Poe stories

Pre-serum Steve Rogers cooking weird old recipes on TikTok

Loony Tunes Gender Discourse (like, literally gender analysis of Bugs Bunny)

Unsung Historially Important Women

Some guy selling shitty copper in 1750 BCE

A movie almost no one went to see

Hallmark Christmas specials in general (seasonal)

And now we’ve added:

A movie that literally does not exist.

An algorithm wouldn’t stand a chance here. Any attempts at coding one would puke radioactive on first contact with this weird, wonderful website.

Even if it’s not an allergy issue, reasonable accommodation of people’s preferences is a thing! That you do! It’s polite! My buir’vod can’t have gluten and can’t do rice flour and has to watch sodium intake. I still put in the effort to track down appropriate gluten free alternatives. I recently found a recipe for cream of mushroom soup that uses coconut milk. We all loved it! My buir’vod’s ridur who puts ketchup on everything used the soup instead of ketchup on the steak and later combined it with another soup.

My buir is diabetic. I’m growing a stevia plant because you can dry and powder the leaves yourself. I carefully watch carbs on what I bring into the house. My other buir’vod had a massive heart attack a few years ago and has had to cut salt almost completely.

My vod’ad was allergic to garlic, onion, and paprika when born, as well as eggs. We adapted a family recipe for rolls and one for cookies to be eggless. Now, even though the allergy isn’t present, that recipe is what my vod’ad prefers.

Even if it’s just a preference. Accommodate. Yes it’s hard sometimes. A lot of the time. But they have to live with it, you can pull your head out of yourself long enough to track down an alternative.

hello

this is a non-friendly reminder that if someone says, “i can’t eat [food/spice/seasoning],” it’s not a challenge. if you cannot/will not accomodate that (which is fine! i, and everyone else i know with a food allergy/intolerance, have no problem bringing our own food or just waiting), then just say it. i just saw a post about how someone’s dad has an allergy to black pepper, was told for their family thanksgiving “oh yeah we won’t use it,” and now has been violently ill for multiple days bc they did it anyway thinking he wouldn’t notice.

that’s not cute.

that’s not okay.

and yes! people can be intolerant/allergic to spices and seasonings! me saying, “hey, i can’t have onion/garlic/any pepper-based spice hotter than standard paprika (and sometimes not even that)” is not an invitation to go “sure okay” and then “sneak” it in to “teach” me. i’m actually a really good cook and used to fucking LOVE spicy food. i physically cannot eat it anymore. it’s not a matter of “oh she just doesn’t know better.” it’s a matter of “eating this will put my health at risk.” like i will absolutely bring my own food. i’ve done that before. i don’t mind doing that bc i know that cooking for my needs is a pain (i have to do it all the time, after all). but saying “sure okay!” and then putting it in there anyway does absolutely nothing but set me up to be in severe pain for several days unable to keep food and water down.

people have taken me saying, “i can’t eat [food i’m intolerant to]” as me expressing a preference (which on its own should be fine anyway), when no. yeah they’re weird foods to be unable to eat. i’m aware of that. but bodies are weird as fuck. just because something is a rarer intolerance doesn’t mean that someone is faking it. i’ve seen MULTIPLE tiktoks of people “sneaking” seasoning into something when no one is looking, and that’s fine! i don’t care about jokes! but if someone hasn’t added something, check before you do bc you don’t know WHY it’s not in there.

and if you didn’t know better/never thought of that, that’s fine! but now you know!

yes, it’s annoying to have to think about someone’s dietary needs. no one knows that more than the person WITH the dietary needs. and, once again, we can bring our own food! that’s totally fine!

but don’t try to do a bait and switch when someone has said that they can’t eat something. at best, you’re making something they just don’t like. at worst, you could be setting them up for a severe reaction or illness.

typewriter!

You are a gem!!! And yes, Wes acknowledges that he didn’t know enough, but it’s not like it all came out of nowhere. But the GIW made use of a teenager’s naïveté and he’s paid for it ever since.

Summary: Years have passed since he walked down Amity’s roads. Question Wes honestly never thought he’d return; he wasn’t supposed to.

Wes had tried for years to bring the GIW down. They're getting bolder, and Wes is getting desperate

======

Chapter 3 Blurb: Question knew he was taking a chance, returning to Amity with no warning, but in the end the information he gathered was far too important to wait. He regretted not being able to trust the Justice League (at least by himself), but with the possibility of another Captain Adam situation, Question was not willing to take that risk.
