Okay so real talk how the fuck did Hazza D'ur die??? Because like the skull is Hazza D'ur, right? And he has like a MASSIVE scar over his right eye area, like his bone material is cracked, wtf could even do that man...

Curated collection of some of the faves from last month.

What if Wu's "finish the training course before I finish my tea" thing came from Morro?

Morro was getting better and better at the training course and one day he made a bet with wu: "I bet I can finish the training course before you finish your tea"

And he did it. So Wu asked him to do it again, double or nothing style, but this time he made his tea faster and Morro failed. So he trained, and he got better, and he challenged Wu again and won. Eventally it became a habit, a regular part of Morro's training until morro was zipping through the course and wu was making and drinking tea at lightning speed.

And so when Wu takes on a new student years later he tries the challange, except he was so used to Morro being incredibly good and having to drink his tea incredibly fast to the point where he had given his new student a near impossible test

What’s your favorite western animated movie

Believe it or not, the answer is still "the first movie I remember watching" after all this time. It was absolutely the formational experience. Every time I return to The Emperor's New Groove, I grow more aware of how much my current preferences were shaped by it. Protagonists more defined by their flaws than their virtues, reframing of jokes for drama, egomania as a character flaw, 4th wall humor, comically unreliable narrators, constantly bickering duos, radically dynamic equivalence in translation, Yzma's and Kronk's specific brand of manzai. All of these I love and have talked about loving here in this blog come from 4-year-old me having a great time watching a monarch become a llama.

To no one’s surprise, Vincent Tong continues to hold an iron grip on lego media.

Imagine being separated from your closest family and friends for years and years and yet the moment you all reunite, you discover that you all still somehow have the same taste in fight-wear

(aka how did everyone manage to coordinate their fashion after the merge???)
