Whoa whoa guys I just had a thought
You know how the Powerpuff Girls get their superpowers from Chemical X
X
as in the X chromosome
Their superpower is literally girl power
My dad and I were talking about the Harry Potter movies and books and he realized something. He said it was ironic how everyone thought before there were going to be seven movies, but there ended up being eight. Just like the pieces of Voldemorts soul. There were supposed to be seven, but there ended up being eight...
Chris was on overload. First, florals for men’s winter swimwear. That could take two years to unwind. Second, no one was at the beach. Like no one. Vacancy always problematic. Third.....well, he couldn’t remember. That’s when Brad interjected & said Chris should consider auditioning 4 headache commercials.
It was Tuesday at 2:15pm. Brad, Chris, Jeremy and Luke were hanging per usual. They bought and made their Halloween costumes back in March while at a stripper flea market just outside of Reno. This, of course, was your 'oh so typical' everyday street wear, a peculiar shade of dress that read mainstream or ultra trendy depending on the infractions of its execution.
Yes, we know. It's difficult to look at the pic and not think everyone dresses like they are 35.... like EVERYONE. You know it's a gold standard when those who actually are 35 don't even react.
What's his head told us this on that one show. You know, the one with the runway, sewing machines, and that woman we see every Halloween in the rags who divorced… an otter was it?
Oh. Otter is a gay thing isn’t it? Just like pank, gurl, and… Well, isn’t it all gay?!?
Ok. That’s not true or more of us would be test tubers by now. We’re still on the YouTube with the occasion designer baby popping out of China or some overdone upper crust of Europe-adjacent. When will parents learn no matter how much you change a child, even if you alter their DNA, they will always become what they are?
Ultimately, we each direct our own expression. No one creates art on your behalf or tells another how to feel. We will each decide here too.
Dear me, that was a tangent wasn’t it? So…where were we? Seal. Ah. Yes. That. We got a name! This one divorced, and as far as we know all involved survived and carry on otter-free.
What was the name of the show though? You know the one with that butler who has all the catch phrases and pretends to help the contestants but obviously doesn't because have you seen some of the outfits?! The name escapes me but someone on the show called out everyone dressing like they were 35 right before fashion finally threw itself down three flights of stairs to pass in a respectable manner.
That’s what you do after waking up and finding yourself on life support from being declared ‘over,’ ‘obsolete’ and ‘pointless’ countless times for decades. Such horrific headlines and worst of all, no one who declared it dead ever bothered to throw it funeral. Well, there’s no pretty there.
We say, good for you fashion. We can run with your tips and style now so leave you to finally rest in peace. We’ve raised the dead too many times. I swear dignity exists only because we still have the word for it.
I think.
D-I-G-N-I-T-Y.
Yes. It’s all there. Ok. Great. Now we’ve held a private service and said our goodbyes. Please style on and leave fashion be.
BTW - This... yes, this whole post thing is PRIDE. Nuance darling, nuance. We taught you this upfront when we went over infractions.
Ok. So, believe it or not, all of this hullabaloo actually leads us up to....
Just The Fashion Tip #9328 : Tops and bottoms are not required to communicate either.
Right?!? We do more than blow minds around here at BradAndChris.com.
Great WERQ boiz. When the gays do pedestrian, they DO PEDESTRIAN!

Stunning double rainbow over Safeway….I’m always on the lookout for the minutiae, but then He goes BIG and just blows me away…..wow, just WOW! May your day be equally blessed…Bon Mardi, mes amis!
Fanvidding used to be one of my things, last century and early in this one. I'd spend hours, days, with two VCRs or basic editing software, or with a mixer deck, especially if I wanted to extract a snippet of dialogue and mute the background music. "Labour of love" doesn't even begin to describe the process of getting a fanvid from concept to convention in the 1980s or 1990s.
I just had a couple of days trying out vidding on a high-powered Mac for the first time; a quarter-way-into-the-21st-century hardware and software setup, with nearly instant access to HD source video via the internet, and with by-the-hour rented cloud servers for uber processing power and AI automation when I need it.
It's like I've lived in 2 different worlds. Like, all that stuff I'd spend days doing by hand and ear and eye and brain to control the sound levels or trim a clip to the millisecond - there's software today that can do it at the click of a button in seconds. You want the soundtrack or ambient noise to vanish to isolate the dialogue? Done. Poof. Magic! Upscale that fuzzy old TV show to HD? Click! In an absolute pinch, my bloody phone can output a passable vid.
Vidding is still a labour of love, no question, if only because you need an awesomely detailed working knowledge/memory of the canon to cherrypick, but the whole production time scale has changed immeasurably within my adult lifetime. Amazing.
all of my doctor who portraits so far! up to 27 of them now woah
still plenty more i want to do, please don't say where is so and so, they are most likely on the to do list, i just have 10 projects going at once so i stop and start things a lot
wow so what you're saying is that the gp loving harry is like the personification of performative activism? aka, you didn't like him when he was in a boyband marketed to teenage girls but you now like him because he's a "rock god" doing quirky things that we can now defend as if he himself invented them?
I really think that we as a fandom should unpack how it’s Very Cool to like harry styles right now but not as cool to like any of the other 1d members despite all of them being very successful and being equally as unique as harry is. and also how it’s extremely cool to like harry in a way that it was NEVER cool to like one direction.
Virgil = ‘dark’ side of Roman.
Deceit = Dark side of Patton.
??? = Dark side of Logan...
One more to go...
Theory: there was meant to be an equal amount of dark sides to the normal sides. Theres only two now because one defected.
About Cages
!spoilers ahead for those who haven't watched the second episode of aot season 4, part 2. as well as manga spoilers!
Ok ok, just wanted to say before hand that if there is any grammar mistakes or errors, I apologize beforehand because I'm in a rush to write this all down before I forget it.
I wanted to talk about one specific scene in this episode where it cuts to Falco, Gabi, and colt hiding out in an abandoned house. When Gabi slides down the wall we see this shot here.
Cages. Specifically bird cages.
This part of the anime comes out of chapter 118 of the manga here.
In these two scenes (cropped and editted), there are no cages at all. Not even one. So it was MAPPA's artistic choice to include the cages. And like, it was a good choice???
Literally holds so much symbolism here, literally and figuratively. Everything in AOT is a cage and I love how MAPPA solidifies that symbol by including bird cages when in the manga panel where there was none. They could have just animated this scene as it was drawn in the manga but they didn't. Love the creative route MAPPA took for this.
After this scene above, Gabi says something along the lines of, "We kept repeating the same mistakes over and over again." I loved this line being said by Gabi herself as the camera looms over the three of them, the cages sitting along with them. Such good cinematography
This is the only cage that is open. I looked at the other instances where these cages were shown and there were none (from what I saw) that showed an open door. I think MAPPA did an excellent job showing rather than telling the audience that message in that frame. Adding these cages amped the episode for me.
[Will probably edit this later to fix and add some stuff later.]
horrifying Tenkai headcanon:
speaking of where corebricks come from, does anyone assume that since the corekai and the original knights are just robots life forms from another planet that when the original knights -eons before guren’s dad became one- that the reason that they disappeared during battle as in the scene of the first episode was that they actually died and their corebricks were transported by the guardians to safety. But with the knights dead the Guardians knew the planet was going to be in trouble and decided to get people from anothr planet -obviously who- to man the bodies and fight for quarton when no other option was apperant and possibly because nobody would notices...
WHICH MEANS THAT BOYS AND BENI ARE MANNING DEAD BODIES OF CORKAI!
Tav/the player is technically the chosen of Jergal. If you think about it. You don't even have to do anything about it. "So this guy just cryptically alludes to the fact that your meeting was foretold and then bends fate around you to ensure your success while claiming to be a neutral party against the dead three?" "Yeah that's Old Man Withers for ya, ain't he a hoot and half?"
