WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.640 Hey folks, a brief but important message at the top of this week's episode. 00:00:04.460 --> 00:00:16.700 The Minneapolis protests have been going on for a number of days now, and I speak for myself, but I know Brianna would agree, it's important to stand with these protesters and those fighting against cop brutality. 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:28.760 If you're still not sure how to help though, we've included some links in the description, including blacklivesmatter.card.co, but there's a number of them that you can check out. 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.220 However, it's also important to remember that there will likely be protests and actions in a city near you. 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:43.960 And then if you have access to proper personal protective equipment against COVID-19 and the ability to, it's important to show up. 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.800 In the meantime, I hope this show delivers some small relief. 00:00:49.540 --> 00:00:54.000 Take care of yourselves, love one another, and most importantly, A-Cab. 00:01:23.342 --> 00:01:25.262 I'm so fucking done with this already. 00:01:41.272 --> 00:01:43.692 Hey, can someone get the animal out of here? 00:01:43.692 --> 00:01:45.132 What's this animal doing here? 00:01:45.422 --> 00:01:49.982 Hey, can someone help this animal get out of here? 00:01:50.002 --> 00:01:55.422 Can we just make sure this animal is able to cross over to that other area? 00:01:56.502 --> 00:01:59.322 Anyone, any Animal Crossing experts out here? 00:02:05.882 --> 00:02:06.322 Hey. 00:02:06.902 -->

Anyways, now that I'm checking in with myself, I feel like I left the house for, you know, I did my once every two weeks leaving of the house and now I'm done with the leaving of the house for another two weeks. 00:03:29.502 --> 00:03:31.102 So I guess I'm good. 00:03:31.122 --> 00:03:32.282 How are you? 00:03:33.922 --> 00:03:41.042 All right, I'm a little, it's a time right now, but in general,

then. 00:03:48.122 --> 00:03:49.642 It's a comedy podcast. 00:03:50.222 --> 00:03:51.802 Let's just do the podcast. 00:03:52.262 --> 00:03:59.262 We can talk about the funny things and let the people

00:04:20.482 --> 00:04:25.322 Before anything else, all I'm going to say, She-Ra, five spoilers ahead. 00:04:25.962 --> 00:04:30.402 Brianna will put a timestamp in the description for when these end. 00:04:31.262 --> 00:04:33.122 Go look in the description. 00:04:33.322 --> 00:04:40.462 Hey, if you're not paying attention, hey, you, listening, you listening, look in the goddamn description.

00:04:50.742 All right, we're going, the whole thing, just the whole thing, we are going to spoil the whole thing probably. 00:04:50.762 --> 00:04:51.642 Just for real. 00:04:51.662 --> 00:04:54.002 Yeah, we're going to spoil the entirety of She-Ra. 00:04:54.022 --> 00:04:54.882 The whole thing. 00:04:55.042 --> 00:04:56.762 I just want to be clear. 00:04:56.782 --> 00:05:00.962 You should not, if you haven't watched it, please don't spoil it for yourself. 00:05:01.222 --> 00:05:03.602 Unless you're never going to watch it, then I guess, I don't know, stick around. 00:05:03.922 --> 00:05:05.302 Or if you don't care about spoilers. 00:05:05.982 --> 00:05:08.522 Yeah, I mean, I guess I'm projecting. 00:05:08.882 --> 00:05:10.082 I care about spoilers so heavily. 00:05:10.102 --> 00:05:12.022 I know lots of people who don't care about spoilers all that much. 00:05:12.082 --> 00:05:20.362 So if you don't care about spoilers, or you're not going to watch it, or you've seen it, come along with us into a journey to Etheria. 00:05:20.682 --> 00:05:22.242 All right, let's get into it. 00:05:22.622 --> 00:05:23.642 Holy shit. 00:05:24.142 --> 00:05:25.342 What a good show. 00:05:25.362 --> 00:05:26.382 What a good fucking show. 00:05:27.782 --> 00:05:29.242 This is just us screen wait. 00:05:29.262 --> 00:05:29.762 One sec. 00:05:29.982 --> 00:05:30.482 Ahem. 00:05:35.742 --> 00:05:37.102 I, yeah, that's the mood. 00:05:37.282 --> 00:05:40.322 I have, I watched She-Ra with my girlfriend. 00:05:40.342 --> 00:05:41.202 We watched it together. 00:05:43.382 --> 00:05:44.302 Yeah, it was really good. 00:05:44.322 --> 00:05:44.782 And emotional. 00:05:44.802 --> 00:05:45.422 We freaked out. 00:05:45.442 --> 00:05:47.562 Yeah, we freaked out and cried. 00:05:47.582 --> 00:05:48.462 It was a good time. 00:05:48.962 --> 00:05:53.882 And then I got to witness you go through it as you texted me about it. 00:05:53.902 --> 00:05:58.062 You somehow watched it before me, which is impressive, because like I have been preparing. 00:05:58.082 --> 00:05:59.082 Because you have a job. 00:05:59.162 --> 00:06:03.382 Right, because I work during the day and it came out not Friday night, but Thursday night. 00:06:03.382 --> 00:06:11.402 So like I was like, okay, I can't start watching it Thursday night or else I'm going to just like not, I'm going to be up until like 3 a.m. 00:06:11.422 --> 00:06:13.862 and then I'll just be useless all Friday. 00:06:14.502 --> 00:06:15.822 So I waited until Friday. 00:06:15.842 --> 00:06:23.882 Like I basically finished work, made dinner, and then like sat down and just consumed the entirety. 00:06:23.902 --> 00:06:25.782 And this was my plan from the beginning of the week. 00:06:25.942 --> 00:06:28.342 I've just been, I was just like ready. 00:06:28.362 --> 00:06:36.062 I literally have not planned to binge a show ever maybe. 00:06:36.642 --> 00:06:38.302 Anyways, I love this show. 00:06:38.782 --> 00:06:44.522 And holy Catra, holy Catra, holy Catra. 00:06:44.762 --> 00:06:46.662 Let's, I just. 00:06:47.542 --> 00:06:54.222 So at the end of season four, I almost tweeted fall of Catra better than fall of Azula. 00:06:54.242 --> 00:06:57.642 I'm just going to say Catra Redemption Arc. 00:06:58.002 --> 00:06:59.562 That's what Azula needed. 00:07:00.302 --> 00:07:02.162 Like from Avatar, like. 00:07:02.602 --> 00:07:03.322 Absolutely. 00:07:03.682 --> 00:07:05.342 Oh, that was what Avatar was missing. 00:07:05.782 --> 00:07:06.742 I think so too. 00:07:07.122 --> 00:07:12.722 I saw, I saw, I was talking about like comparing it to Zuko's Redemption Arc. 00:07:12.802 --> 00:07:16.122 And I think that that looks favorably on She-Ra. 00:07:16.302 --> 00:07:17.122 I think it does. 00:07:17.142 --> 00:07:20.582 I think that that like when you compare those two, you're like, oh shit. 00:07:20.982 --> 00:07:23.062 Zuko's Redemption Arc will be the best of all time. 00:07:23.082 --> 00:07:26.462 Catra, I think meets, meets that at the very least. 00:07:26.602 --> 00:07:28.422 Like minimum, holy. 00:07:29.202 --> 00:07:36.402 The line that kills me every time I hear it is, did you just jump into fire for me? 00:07:36.482 --> 00:07:39.122 And it's like, wow, they really did that. 00:07:39.142 --> 00:07:40.742 They really made her do that. 00:07:40.762 --> 00:07:44.382 Oh, I everything about it works so well. 00:07:44.382 --> 00:07:50.222 The like slow burn that was sort of this whole season, but also has been the whole five seasons. 00:07:50.622 --> 00:07:51.642 It really has. 00:07:51.882 --> 00:07:56.162 I really want to like enemies to lovers is a really good thing. 00:07:56.662 --> 00:08:07.442 So a friend of mine is going through it, and I rewatched like a single episode of season four with them, just like episode three of season four. 00:08:08.002 --> 00:08:11.642 And I just had feel like I had so many feelings because it was like watching children. 00:08:11.662 --> 00:08:15.922 It was like watching babies like they just they weren't prepared. 00:08:16.282 --> 00:08:19.282 Season four was not prepared for season five. 00:08:19.302 --> 00:08:21.482 They weren't even prepared for season four. 00:08:21.502 --> 00:08:33.442 I mean, yeah, I think it's interesting because season four is like intense and dark, you know, with Glimmer and with Catra, really both kind of parallel falls there. 00:08:33.822 --> 00:08:37.762 And then you get to season five and it's like, you are like little children. 00:08:38.062 --> 00:08:40.402 You know nothing of what is to come. 00:08:41.842 --> 00:08:46.102 Because season five is just like, you know, it's fucking in space. 00:08:46.122 --> 00:08:47.182 They went to space. 00:08:47.562 --> 00:08:57.122 They went to space and God, the whole hand, every time there were shots of hands, every time there were shots of Catra's hands reaching for Adora's hands. 00:08:57.442 --> 00:09:12.362 And the like, so, Yutena Revolutionary Girl is on my To Watch list, but like I've seen the post where like the final scene or like one of the final scenes is Catra reaching through a doorway into like Adora's mind. 00:09:12.682 --> 00:09:17.382 And that's literally just a direct homage to Yutena. 00:09:17.502 --> 00:09:23.082 And it has made me want to like push that to the top of my To Watch list so quickly. 00:09:23.102 --> 00:09:26.862 Yeah, that one's going to be a tough one because I know that there's a lot of triggering content in it. 00:09:26.922 --> 00:09:27.222 Yeah. 00:09:27.242 --> 00:09:28.062 I've been warned. 00:09:28.722 --> 00:09:31.422 And I really appreciate that kind of reference there. 00:09:31.422 --> 00:09:40.702 It really feels, you know, She-Ra for throughout its kind of entire run to me has felt like a show that is in dialogue with other kind of animated shows. 00:09:40.922 --> 00:09:47.322 I think about She-Ra in terms of and kind of in contrast and similarity to Steven Universe. 00:09:49.102 --> 00:10:01.302 I think there are two philosophies at play there in terms of like, we talk about love and we talk about redemption and we talk about like what it means to grow and get better. 00:10:01.582 --> 00:10:04.242 I think that there are comparable things there. 00:10:04.682 --> 00:10:08.442 And I really, really like the way that She-Ra handles it. 00:10:08.802 --> 00:10:31.762 I think it does an incredible job of kind of in a goddamn kids show portraying an understanding of like restorative and transformative justice, like of love and what it means to like connect to other people and to give everything for a cause and like queerness just in general. 00:10:32.242 --> 00:10:38.742 She-Ra nails it on so many different kind of deeper things and also it's just a very fun show to watch. 00:10:39.102 --> 00:10:48.162 And it's so pretty, the animation is like everything about it, following like the animators and all the stuff they've like done for it. 00:10:48.182 --> 00:10:50.122 Just like, God, even the music. 00:10:50.142 --> 00:10:52.102 I think I sent you a post. 00:10:52.122 --> 00:10:59.462 There's a scene where Catra is being controlled by Horde Prime, which is just, ugh. 00:11:00.902 --> 00:11:01.802 That scene is terrifying. 00:11:03.562 --> 00:11:14.562 Going back and like truly understanding how deeply Adora cares for Catra and then watching that scene again is heart wrenching. 00:11:14.942 --> 00:11:21.302 When Catra just like takes a step off the ledge and Adora catches her. 00:11:22.262 --> 00:11:22.502 Ugh. 00:11:22.522 --> 00:11:22.782 Yeah. 00:11:23.242 --> 00:11:25.882 That scene I think is like one of my favorite scenes. 00:11:25.882 --> 00:11:29.722 That episode I think is one of my favorite episodes of She-Ra and of this season. 00:11:30.982 --> 00:11:35.522 Because I think it is so hard to watch at times. 00:11:35.542 --> 00:11:39.162 There's like moments during that whole sequence where you're like, I don't want to see this. 00:11:39.382 --> 00:11:39.622 Yeah. 00:11:39.642 --> 00:11:41.482 I don't like seeing Catra like this. 00:11:41.942 --> 00:11:42.862 It was rough. 00:11:42.862 --> 00:11:44.742 I don't like it. 00:11:45.062 --> 00:11:46.942 But it does it in a really good way. 00:11:47.342 --> 00:11:56.282 Also, oh my God, I couldn't stop thinking about like the scene where they're children and Catra goes, I'm never going to apologize to anyone. 00:11:56.342 --> 00:12:00.502 And then she apologizes not only to Adora, but to Glimmer. 00:12:01.202 --> 00:12:04.522 And like, that is, ugh. 00:12:04.722 --> 00:12:10.102 There's a lot of really good, you know, even outside of the Catra-Dora stuff, which we love, obviously. 00:12:11.442 --> 00:12:13.222 Catra and Glimmer as well. 00:12:13.242 --> 00:12:14.702 Yeah, and Scorfuma. 00:12:14.902 --> 00:12:19.422 I like the sort of friendship between the kind of unlikely friendship between Catra and Glimmer. 00:12:20.242 --> 00:12:21.842 I think it's really sweet. 00:12:22.082 --> 00:12:23.222 The jail scenes. 00:12:23.582 --> 00:12:24.002 I know. 00:12:24.382 --> 00:12:32.322 That whole season, I literally like, I did binge that season, but I literally had to take emotional breaks and be like, okay, whoo, 10 minutes. 00:12:32.362 --> 00:12:37.562 I just need to stop consuming this for 10 minutes because I'm overwhelmed. 00:12:38.762 --> 00:12:40.502 Yeah, no, absolutely. 00:12:41.002 --> 00:12:43.362 There's so much good going on there. 00:12:44.202 --> 00:12:50.762 And this is even talking about like, Horde Prime, who is just a truly brilliant, terrifying villain. 00:12:50.922 --> 00:13:04.642 Like, the use of language that, you know, it's clearly, and Noelle has said, the showrunner has said, it is directly inspired on cults and cult language. 00:13:04.902 --> 00:13:09.442 I think there's also an aspect of like, fascist language and imagery there going on as well. 00:13:09.462 --> 00:13:23.562 Even, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, she posted like, images of cult churches and like, the scenery, the like, backgrounds and everything are directly so closely like, taken inspiration from those. 00:13:23.582 --> 00:13:24.462 It's so good. 00:13:24.682 --> 00:13:29.922 And thinking of all of that, also Wrong Hordak is just precious. 00:13:30.602 --> 00:13:32.002 Wrong Hordak's very good. 00:13:32.442 --> 00:13:35.622 Every scene with Wrong Hordak is just like, baby. 00:13:35.642 --> 00:13:38.362 Yeah, he's just a good baby. 00:13:38.602 --> 00:13:40.482 He just doesn't understand. 00:13:40.642 --> 00:13:41.642 He just tries. 00:13:42.102 --> 00:13:43.282 He's trying his best. 00:13:43.302 --> 00:13:44.282 He's doing what he can. 00:13:47.302 --> 00:13:59.042 When Wrong Hordak has a world-breaking view and he just has a meltdown, and then they meet Milag, and it's like, oh, you know, Wrong Hordak's just questioning the meaning of life, just casually. 00:13:59.642 --> 00:14:01.442 God, that's super good. 00:14:01.462 --> 00:14:05.802 I also, shout out to Milag and Katra, which is super good. 00:14:05.902 --> 00:14:15.742 I love when a show is like, hey, see this, like, tough, edgy kind of character who's very angry and stuff. 00:14:15.842 --> 00:14:17.282 We've given them a pet now. 00:14:18.542 --> 00:14:21.982 It's my favorite thing that Young Justice does in season one with Superboy. 00:14:22.002 --> 00:14:24.422 It just starts piling on the pets. 00:14:26.122 --> 00:14:28.702 And I appreciate that She-Ra does it too. 00:14:28.722 --> 00:14:30.322 And Milag's a good character. 00:14:30.342 --> 00:14:39.262 And the whole scene with Milag, where it's just like, what is the quote where it's like, I'm trying to work on that thing where I get angry. 00:14:41.462 --> 00:14:43.682 And Indora just goes, you are? 00:14:43.782 --> 00:14:55.062 And it's like, oh, when you see your friends going through growth, it's like, that's the exact reaction where it's like, oh my God, you've been taking my words to heart. 00:14:55.542 --> 00:14:56.042 What? 00:14:56.202 --> 00:14:56.842 Yeah. 00:14:57.482 --> 00:15:04.542 This season really managed to be like heartfelt and meaningful and also funny and also gay. 00:15:05.422 --> 00:15:06.562 Oh, so gay. 00:15:06.962 --> 00:15:10.102 If you weren't going to bring this craving, I was going to bring this craving. 00:15:11.502 --> 00:15:12.882 We both loved this show. 00:15:13.162 --> 00:15:14.222 It's easily up there. 00:15:14.242 --> 00:15:22.582 It's easily like when I look back and to shows that I want to rewatch, this is going to be one of them. 00:15:22.942 --> 00:15:28.782 Yeah, I think this is probably one of my favorite animated shows, like Full Stop. 00:15:29.362 --> 00:15:30.402 Yeah, that's fair. 00:15:31.222 --> 00:15:36.562 But She-Ra made me feel real good. 00:15:37.422 --> 00:15:42.102 And bad, and bad, both kind of in the best way. 00:15:42.122 --> 00:15:43.002 It scared me. 00:15:43.022 --> 00:15:47.422 Yeah, there are moments in the show that are like freaky. 00:15:47.642 --> 00:15:50.002 I just want people to be okay. 00:15:50.062 --> 00:15:56.682 And it's like, I know they're going to be because in the song, it says they're going to win in the end, but like... 00:15:57.882 --> 00:16:01.082 Yeah, but there's still costs to victory, you know? 00:16:01.882 --> 00:16:03.342 Shadow Weaver's ending? 00:16:03.782 --> 00:16:04.542 Holy shit. 00:16:04.562 --> 00:16:05.242 Bye, bitch. 00:16:05.942 --> 00:16:07.762 I cried, but like, eat shit. 00:16:07.962 --> 00:16:19.942 Just when we had the shot of Shadow Weaver, she could take power and she realized that she would rather see Adora and Catra grow beyond herself. 00:16:20.642 --> 00:16:21.382 Yeah. 00:16:21.502 --> 00:16:24.762 And she knew she had to take herself out of the equation. 00:16:26.662 --> 00:16:28.702 It's a really good moment. 00:16:29.582 --> 00:16:34.242 Have you read the like quote from Noel about Shadow Weaver? 00:16:34.502 --> 00:16:35.242 Yes, I have. 00:16:36.402 --> 00:16:40.482 About how even in this moment, it's like kind of a selfish kind of shitty action. 00:16:40.502 --> 00:16:41.942 Yeah. 00:16:42.622 --> 00:16:50.122 Everyday people don't really, we don't know a Horde Prime, but like pretty much everyone knows a Shadow Weaver. 00:16:50.782 --> 00:16:51.542 Absolutely. 00:16:51.622 --> 00:16:54.602 No, she's a very like recognizable character. 00:16:56.262 --> 00:16:57.162 I'm glad she's dead. 00:16:58.202 --> 00:17:00.682 They couldn't have been happy with her there still. 00:17:00.962 --> 00:17:01.282 No. 00:17:01.302 --> 00:17:02.162 I just... 00:17:02.742 --> 00:17:04.002 I think like the thing that is... 00:17:04.022 --> 00:17:06.762 It was a tragic ending that had to happen. 00:17:07.102 --> 00:17:07.662 Oh, for sure. 00:17:07.682 --> 00:17:12.902 I think for me, the thing about Shadow Weaver is I'm just glad that she didn't get some sort of redemption, right? 00:17:12.922 --> 00:17:13.802 Like she has a moment. 00:17:13.802 --> 00:17:16.982 I mean, she was being bad the entire, like she was not growing. 00:17:17.002 --> 00:17:18.442 She refused to grow. 00:17:18.762 --> 00:17:19.162 Yeah. 00:17:19.422 --> 00:17:31.542 I think the thing that I appreciate about the way that she did redemption is that there is a notion here of what actual redemption looks like, right? 00:17:31.542 --> 00:17:32.762 It's not the... 00:17:32.782 --> 00:17:34.882 And Avatar did this too, for what it's worth though. 00:17:34.902 --> 00:17:43.942 I think that choosing Azula as kind of the one who isn't redeemed makes me sad and frustrated. 00:17:45.262 --> 00:17:51.562 But I think that there is this notion here of what actual redemption takes, right? 00:17:52.082 --> 00:17:58.282 It is work and it is realization and kind of pushing against abuse. 00:17:58.522 --> 00:18:04.002 And it's something that I character like Catra is willing to do, while I character like Shadow Weaver is not. 00:18:04.022 --> 00:18:12.622 Because Catra understands that she has done things wrong, whereas Shadow Weaver basically until the end kind of thinks, oh, I kind of did things right. 00:18:12.862 --> 00:18:14.702 Yeah, she's so self-righteous. 00:18:14.842 --> 00:18:20.202 And especially with the whole, gosh, I'm forgetting Glitter's aunt's name. 00:18:20.502 --> 00:18:21.422 Castaspella. 00:18:21.962 --> 00:18:25.042 Castaspella, of course, yeah, all right, I should have remembered that. 00:18:25.062 --> 00:18:29.082 The names here are so funny. 00:18:29.102 --> 00:18:30.122 They're so good. 00:18:30.142 --> 00:18:42.742 They're like, this is anyways, cast the whole scene with Shadow Weaver and Castaspella going and her trusting Shadow Weaver up until the point where it's like, oh shit, you tricked me again. 00:18:43.002 --> 00:18:45.142 Why did I think anything different? 00:18:45.222 --> 00:18:46.662 I'm not even shocked. 00:18:46.662 --> 00:18:51.802 And Shadow Weaver being like, you should hold it against me if I betray you and then betraying them. 00:18:52.222 --> 00:18:53.182 Also, Micah. 00:18:53.882 --> 00:18:55.022 Yeah, Micah. 00:18:55.302 --> 00:18:57.362 The seed between Micah and Glimmer. 00:18:57.742 --> 00:18:58.222 Evil. 00:18:58.242 --> 00:18:59.182 The battle. 00:18:59.202 --> 00:18:59.282 Yeah. 00:19:00.662 --> 00:19:10.802 I think they handle the mind control shit very well, like making clear how sad and scary it is for the characters who love the people who are now mind controlled. 00:19:11.722 --> 00:19:13.662 Mind controlled Scorpio was a ride. 00:19:13.862 --> 00:19:19.262 Mind controlled Scorpio, I really like the choice to make it so that she doesn't say a word ever. 00:19:19.282 --> 00:19:20.882 Yeah, that's true. 00:19:20.902 --> 00:19:21.602 She doesn't. 00:19:22.582 --> 00:19:28.882 Every character who is mind controlled makes like little quips or mean, says little mean things, right? 00:19:28.902 --> 00:19:30.322 Kind of them at their worst. 00:19:31.002 --> 00:19:37.382 Scorpio doesn't have, Scorpio at her worst is someone who chooses not to say anything, right? 00:19:37.402 --> 00:19:41.322 It's like, it is fully, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. 00:19:41.642 --> 00:19:45.022 Scorpio lives that so hard that mind controlled her just doesn't speak. 00:19:45.242 --> 00:19:58.862 After I watched the second Vermistries where they like go, Scorpio sacrifices herself basically, and she just turns around and she's like, after all, I'm the muscle and just like, uh, my heart. 00:19:59.442 --> 00:19:59.922 I know. 00:20:00.342 --> 00:20:01.242 She-Ra rules. 00:20:01.262 --> 00:20:03.142 She-Ra is so good. 00:20:03.982 --> 00:20:05.982 Was the craving that you just wanted to talk about it? 00:20:06.362 --> 00:20:08.162 I just crave more She-Ra. 00:20:08.342 --> 00:20:22.182 I want, like, She-Ra is the first show or media that has made me want fan fiction, like to read fan fiction about it, but like soft fan fiction, not like I don't want more adventures. 00:20:22.242 --> 00:20:35.522 I just want them going off into space and like cooking on their spaceship and like, you know, finding cute little aliens to play with and playing games on a weird alien planet together, like Frisbee or something. 00:20:35.542 --> 00:20:36.602 Like that's what I want. 00:20:36.942 --> 00:20:37.682 I love it. 00:20:37.702 --> 00:20:38.002 I love it. 00:20:38.022 --> 00:20:39.542 I crave that so bad. 00:20:39.562 --> 00:20:46.282 I was seeing a couple of people kind of when I was looking at all the Twitter stuff, some people being like, wait, this is the last season? 00:20:46.302 --> 00:20:47.602 No, I want more of this show. 00:20:47.622 --> 00:20:48.902 I'm like, I the fuck don't. 00:20:49.222 --> 00:20:51.922 I want them to live happily ever after forever. 00:20:51.942 --> 00:20:54.062 I want fan fiction. 00:20:54.082 --> 00:21:01.542 What I want is to see them live happily ever after, not for them to go through anything more, right? 00:21:02.322 --> 00:21:02.862 I'm very excited. 00:21:03.382 --> 00:21:05.462 The future, the future shot. 00:21:05.522 --> 00:21:08.222 Also, like the Catra future outfit. 00:21:08.242 --> 00:21:09.602 Can we talk about? 00:21:10.502 --> 00:21:14.722 Can we talk about Glimmer and Catra in the future and just that good friendship? 00:21:14.982 --> 00:21:18.042 I really feel happy with where the story ended. 00:21:18.062 --> 00:21:21.962 And I love to, I would love to like read some fan fiction, find some good soft stuff. 00:21:22.242 --> 00:21:26.802 What I'm mostly excited for is like what people on this team end up doing next. 00:21:27.362 --> 00:21:38.762 I would love to watch whatever comes next because I think She-Ra, She-Ra has made me like trust in these creators in a way that I rarely trust creators of anything. 00:21:39.242 --> 00:21:46.422 I'm so, Nimona, not Nimona, Noelle just, I, yeah, I trust Noelle with my life. 00:21:50.342 --> 00:21:52.902 Quote from Noelle, we don't bury our gaze. 00:21:53.202 --> 00:21:59.942 Yeah, and you know, the Catadora Kiss is not the first queer kiss on television in animated. 00:22:00.062 --> 00:22:02.422 It's not the first queer kiss in She-Ra. 00:22:02.642 --> 00:22:08.362 It's not the first queer kiss in She-Ra, but it is, but it does still feel like a shift. 00:22:08.382 --> 00:22:15.682 I mean, She-Ra in general feels like finally a show where they weren't afraid to make everyone queer, right? 00:22:15.702 --> 00:22:23.462 Like, I feel like a lot of queer creators tend to be like, ah, yes, we're, we're just going to make all of our characters queer. 00:22:23.862 --> 00:22:35.042 And usually when they do that, it's, they are able to do that because it's like a small webcomic or a small like podcast or whatever it is that they're working on. 00:22:35.482 --> 00:22:44.262 The fact that She-Ra was able to be that and is also like a fucking DreamWorks and Netflix property feels significant. 00:22:44.862 --> 00:22:49.822 And I'm really glad that it's going to be something that a lot of queer children are able to watch. 00:22:50.242 --> 00:22:51.622 And a lot of straight children as well. 00:22:51.622 --> 00:22:51.822 Right? 00:22:51.842 --> 00:22:56.602 Like I'm glad that kids are going to be able to see this and see this kind of positive representation. 00:22:56.982 --> 00:22:59.682 The straights are valid, but only the ones in She-Ra. 00:23:00.482 --> 00:23:02.762 They're valid because we know they're not straight, right? 00:23:02.782 --> 00:23:05.422 Like Seahawk and Mermista, we've met their exes. 00:23:05.442 --> 00:23:06.302 That's true. 00:23:06.642 --> 00:23:09.502 I mean, I'm mostly thinking, I don't know. 00:23:09.522 --> 00:23:10.682 I'm like Kordak. 00:23:11.162 --> 00:23:11.602 Yeah. 00:23:11.762 --> 00:23:12.462 Yeah, he is. 00:23:12.762 --> 00:23:15.122 Bo, I think also you can make an argument. 00:23:15.422 --> 00:23:16.322 I don't know if Bo's straight. 00:23:16.922 --> 00:23:20.102 Bo's the like early 2000s hetero flexible. 00:23:21.082 --> 00:23:24.882 Bo and Glimmer is like, Bo and Glimmer was cute. 00:23:25.122 --> 00:23:26.202 Bo and Glimmer was cute. 00:23:27.422 --> 00:23:28.822 I was so happy with that. 00:23:28.842 --> 00:23:29.682 That was so good. 00:23:29.702 --> 00:23:30.742 That was so wholesome. 00:23:31.022 --> 00:23:31.682 Maybe some hetero. 00:23:31.702 --> 00:23:32.862 They were just friends. 00:23:34.022 --> 00:23:37.102 God, yeah, I love that we don't get any direct confirmation. 00:23:37.122 --> 00:23:39.262 We get, you know, it's implied. 00:23:39.282 --> 00:23:40.842 It's sort of there. 00:23:41.262 --> 00:23:44.162 Really like this is welcome to the shoe on the other foot, motherfucker. 00:23:44.362 --> 00:23:46.942 Bo and Glimmer were just really good childhood friends. 00:23:47.342 --> 00:23:47.862 They were. 00:23:47.882 --> 00:23:49.302 They're just pals. 00:23:50.542 --> 00:24:02.642 Welcome to our wonderful world in which the gays are canon and the straights are, you know, you could see it, you could interpret it that way, but, you know, love to straight bait. 00:24:03.542 --> 00:24:04.562 Straight bait. 00:24:05.142 --> 00:24:05.602 I don't know. 00:24:05.942 --> 00:24:08.182 We could talk about She-Ra for forever. 00:24:08.542 --> 00:24:10.362 We've been doing it for a while now. 00:24:10.362 --> 00:24:11.062 I think we can. 00:24:11.282 --> 00:24:14.222 I'm, I'm, no, I'm not satisfied. 00:24:14.242 --> 00:24:17.642 I'm going to be continuing to talk about She-Ra forever, but I think that's enough. 00:24:17.662 --> 00:24:22.542 I think people have, you know, taken our shit long enough about how we're into She-Ra. 00:24:22.562 --> 00:24:26.562 I think we can say that this is where the spoilers end. 00:24:27.002 --> 00:24:27.642 That's She-Ra. 00:24:28.022 --> 00:24:29.742 So now for the rest of the podcast. 00:24:30.462 --> 00:24:37.582 Um, so when I was doing the animalese at the top of the episode, that wasn't just to show off. 00:24:39.382 --> 00:24:43.362 It was also because my first craving today is about Animal Crossing. 00:24:46.142 --> 00:24:48.902 So Animal Crossing New Horizons rules as a game. 00:24:49.522 --> 00:24:51.542 It is, we've been playing it for weeks now. 00:24:51.562 --> 00:24:53.082 We've been having a good old time. 00:24:53.402 --> 00:25:00.462 But thing about Animal Crossing, there are lots of options for making things in Animal Crossing New Horizons, but there aren't quite enough. 00:25:01.102 --> 00:25:06.302 I simply wish to be able to create my ideal island of Lesbos. 00:25:07.142 --> 00:25:11.942 My vibes that I'm trying to go for on my island are like ancient Greek Mediterranean type vibes. 00:25:12.282 --> 00:25:15.662 It's very much like Isle of Lesbos, hence the name. 00:25:15.842 --> 00:25:17.722 That is like fully the vibes that I want to go for. 00:25:18.242 --> 00:25:22.462 And there are some options for that, but there's a lot of things that I'm missing. 00:25:22.482 --> 00:25:24.602 I don't have a real good marble, path texture. 00:25:24.622 --> 00:25:26.142 You don't have enough mannequins. 00:25:26.982 --> 00:25:27.782 Yeah, okay. 00:25:27.902 --> 00:25:35.582 So right now, the thing that I'm trying to do in Animal Crossing New Horizons is to create a rock garden, which you can look up a guide on how to do that. 00:25:35.742 --> 00:25:36.822 It's very difficult. 00:25:37.162 --> 00:25:42.182 It involves you having to cover your island in such a way so that rocks can only spawn in a particular area. 00:25:42.442 --> 00:25:45.202 And one of the ways to do that is with putting mannequins everywhere. 00:25:45.722 --> 00:25:46.942 It is one of the easiest methods. 00:25:46.962 --> 00:25:48.382 Go with that method if you're doing it. 00:25:50.182 --> 00:25:52.102 And so my island is covered in mannequins right now. 00:25:52.622 --> 00:25:57.722 But once it's not covered in mannequins, then the vibes are definitely going to be like in Lesbos. 00:25:58.422 --> 00:25:59.702 As much as I can, right? 00:25:59.722 --> 00:26:10.642 Because if you think about things that are associated with ancient Greece, it's a lot of marble, there's like a lot of statues which are hard to get because red only comes once every like five months or something. 00:26:12.182 --> 00:26:13.322 Which is ridiculous. 00:26:13.342 --> 00:26:15.142 Why did they not make it weekly? 00:26:15.162 --> 00:26:18.202 It's a very stupid change they've made from past games. 00:26:18.282 --> 00:26:20.142 Yeah, red used to come to your island weekly. 00:26:20.462 --> 00:26:22.982 And that is how you would get the stuff that you needed. 00:26:23.002 --> 00:26:24.462 But now it's completely random. 00:26:24.622 --> 00:26:26.222 And I've not seen red in four weeks. 00:26:26.942 --> 00:26:28.462 I've never seen red. 00:26:29.162 --> 00:26:30.342 I bought one thing. 00:26:30.382 --> 00:26:32.142 I bought one statue that was fake. 00:26:32.422 --> 00:26:34.122 And then I never saw that guy again. 00:26:34.482 --> 00:26:36.942 Yeah, no, I've seen him once since then. 00:26:37.322 --> 00:26:39.062 So I need more options. 00:26:39.082 --> 00:26:42.862 I need the options to create my ideal Animal Crossing vibes. 00:26:43.202 --> 00:26:44.502 That's my craving. 00:26:44.742 --> 00:26:45.342 DLC? 00:26:45.362 --> 00:26:49.502 Sure, like I do DLC for Animal Crossing. 00:26:49.662 --> 00:26:51.822 They are planning three years of DLC. 00:26:51.842 --> 00:26:55.182 Yeah, can this be like, can Animal Crossing be the new Sims? 00:26:55.462 --> 00:26:58.782 You know how Sims does like expansion packs with different themes, right? 00:26:58.802 --> 00:27:00.662 No, I have no idea. 00:27:01.042 --> 00:27:02.762 Wait, are you joking or not? 00:27:02.782 --> 00:27:05.602 I've played the Sims for like maybe three hours total. 00:27:05.922 --> 00:27:19.842
