YES! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPENS!

BEWARE MY SPRAY CAN!

Red looks impress

Ramone looks so pissed holy shit

Wait who are we asking?

Send me an anonymous ask completing the sentence "I wish you would write a fic where..."

OH MY GOSH, YES!!!

Hey. This is my first time posting anything onto Instagram. This past Spring semester I made character designs for this Stranger Things fanfic called Stranger Things: The Seven Chronicles. Technically it was for school, but I was having a sort of artist block when trying to think of something to work on for my class. I also wanted to make artwork for this fanfic because… well I created to characters personally for it. The fanfic is an SYOC fanfic (Submit/Select Your Own Character). The story takes place in 1976 in Rockford, Illinois where a group of teens find a strange boy who happens have waterbending powers. This character here is one I made for the fanfic. Her name is Natroya “Naty” Rhodes. She’s a black cheerleader who strives for perfection in her athletic ability and wants to maintain her position as a popular. Naty can come across as the mean girl, but mainly to those that are in the high school popularity hierarchy. She’s friends with classmates that are on the lower end of the popularity chain because they’re less of a threat to her. When talking to the author they sometimes say that Naty is like the Lucas of the teens. Granted the major difference between Naty and Lucas in my eyes is that Lucas’ hostility towards the new member of the group comes from the stress of one his best friends being missing. Naty’s hostility comes from not knowing who this teenage is and thus can’t recognize what he’s all about. She can figure out her classmates and whether they’re a threat to her on the high school social hierarchy, but not this teen in a hospital gown. Naty doesn’t have a missing friend, just the anomaly that this teenage boy is something she can’t figure out. #strangerthings #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #natroya #natyrhodes #naty #natroyarhodes #black #bisexual #erisbaker #cheerleader #1970s #calvinhgatsby #syoc #friendship #coolgirl #popular #popularity #faceclaim #face #claim #rockfordillinois #rockford https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCZPZvFu5o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And not only that we now know there are at least two different kinds of afterlife. And that séances are possible.

Mater seemed to be weirdly chill about how he was about to die. He only didn’t go with the Speed Demon is because he didn’t want to leave Lightning alone… he didn’t care his sister wouldn’t see him just that he didn’t want Lightning to be sad and alone.

Honestly I think that was legitimately sweet this episode. Mater was worried about Lightning being sad about him dying and Lightning was worried for Mater’s safety.

They are friends who care about each other and it’s weirdly sweet here.

cars on the road episode 3 alternate title "mater fucking dies for about 3 seconds"

SARGE #17 Do you think he has a soft spot????

Short answer: Yes.

More detailed: He has a soft spot for Broadway and Musicals in general. Secretly he’ll be singing Hairspray, Singing in the Rain, West Side Story, Little Shop of Horrors, and The Sound of Music. Only Fillmore and Flo know of this since she has a Caroke night twice a month.

Also has a fondness for newspaper comic strips that he “borrows” from Mater.

Overall despite berating Fillmore for being a “tree hugger” he also is somewhat an environmentalist... Or he at least trust Fillmore’s fuel enough to keep Lightning safe from Allinol and distrust Axlerod for being Big Oil.

Just doesn’t want to admit because wants to keep his tough, drill sergeant image.

Christmas Movies Ranked by How Anti-Capitalist They Are

It’s a Wonderful Life

Movies that make you want to pick a fight with the 1% and also weep with joy. Absolutely a classic and anti-capitalist at its very core. Will convince you we need to start oppressing landlords again.

“Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you’re talking about… they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn’t think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they’re cattle.”

SAY THAT!!! George Bailey said fuck landlords, all my homies hate landlords, they have NO rights. Local man believes poor people are human, dedicates his life to helping them, and in his time of the need literally the whole town comes together to support him and his family. Class solidarity ftw!

“Remember no man is a failure who has friends.” Bitch I CRY EVERY GODDAMN TIME. 

10/10

Home Alone

Soundtrack goes hard, the wacky hijinks even harder. 

Loses points because the bandits had a prime opportunity to seize and redistribute some of the wealth from this ritzy Chicago neighborhood and instead they focus their energy on trying to kill an 8-year-old who outsmarts them at every turn.

2/10

Elf

A family favorite in our house. Touches on the overworking and mistreatment of employees through Greenway Press – Walter forced to choose between being with his family on Christmas Eve or losing his job, it’s implied Deb has a pet grooming business on the side to makes ends meet despite being a receptionist at a NY publishing company, etc.

Honestly most of the points come from Jonie’s underrated yet highly relatable storyline. She works in retail, exhausted and cynical towards the high-paced Christmas season which gives her little to no relief or reward, since she’s surviving on ramen noodles and using the employee showers because her water was cut off. Not expanded on enough to be considered a true Marxist piece but the effort is appreciated.

5/10

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Although the meme is correct in that Rudolph’s red nose becomes desirable only once it proves to be useful, it does get points for exposing the harmful nature of forced conformity and those alienated by these capitalist ideals – Rudolph, Hermie, the island of misfit toys – are given a place to belong despite the perceived “flaws” that before made them undesirable.

Also the elves definitely have a free dental-plan now thanks to Hermie and are hopefully on their way to unionizing. Fucking superb you funky little misfit.

6/10

Klaus (2019)

Turns a member of the bourgeoisie into a man I’d trust to carry my mail. Respect for postal workers this movie contains was ahead of its time.

 No direct takedown of the establishment but a heartwarming message – “A true selfless act always sparks another” bITCH I may be crying – that emphasizes the importance of giving to others even when there is no selfish motivation to do so, which is inherently anti-capitalist.  

8/10

The Santa Clause

Scott Calvin starts as a toy executive who takes part in the commercialization of Christmas. He was probably a business major so automatically loses points.

The Santa dynasty itself seems to operate under the cutthroat rules of the business world where you must overthrow (or in this case, throw him off the roof) the former CEO in order to seize power. 

Elves have not unionized or seized the means of production by the end.

0/10

A Christmas Carol 

THE ORIGINAL. Charles Dickens was not even in the neighborhood of fucking around with this one. CREATED the anti-capitalist Christmas genre!!

Rich man treats his employees like shit and gets terrorized by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. Force him to redistribute his wealth by dragging him through a montage of his most epic fails – oh, hey, remember when your fiancé left you? – and make him listen as all his employees and relatives complain about his stingy ass. 

They end this slideshow by throwing this dude into his own grave. DIRECT ACTION. 

Like damn, the ghosts really said, “If you hoard your resources and ignore those in need when you could directly improve/save lives with no cost to yourself, you will die ALONE and you WILL pay for your crimes in hell.” Literally watching this movie is a catharsis for anyone who is or has been poor and working class. 

I’m including all versions of this movie but a special shout out to the Muppet version because it fucks the hardest. 

100/10

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Listen I’m not even in realms of joking with this one. This movie is THE anti-capitalist film of the holiday season. 

WhoVille commercializing Christmas and a fixation on consumer culture to the point where anything and anyONE who cannot be commodified – aka the GRINCH – is alienated? The Whos rediscovering that people should be cherished over material items once it all is stolen and they must confront how empty the holiday has become??

Cindy Lou becoming disillusioned in Christmas – at an age that coincides when many children (those who celebrate Christmas at least) lost belief in Santa and had to wrestle with what the holiday means with the magic gone and they’re more aware of the rampant consumerism that taints the season?? Her resolve to find a meaning that goes beyond material consumption because if a holiday founded on goodwill doesn’t extend that goodwill to everyone, even those society deems undesirable, then what’s the point???

The Grinch despising Christmas because he is unable to participate and isolated from the Whos and also the better qualities within himself? His alienation serving to demonize him further as it allows the public to narrow his valid criticisms of the holiday down to him being different and thus inherently predisposed to evil?? And hmm isn’t it interesting that a LOT of this demonization comes via Mayor Augustus “generously paid for by the tax-payers of Whoville” Maywho, Mr. 1% himself.

The upper vs working class divide evident in the light show competition between Martha May and Betty Lou Who?? The opening scene of the shopping frenzy that mirrors our own consumerist culture and overworking of retail/poster workers??? This entire monologue:

“That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? That’s what it’s always been about. Gifts, gifts… gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts! You wanna know what happens to your gifts? They all come to me. In your garbage. You see what I’m saying? In your garbage. I could hang myself with all the bad Christmas neckties I found at the dump. And the avarice… the avarice never ends! ‘I want golf clubs. I want diamonds. I want a pony so I can ride it twice, get bored and sell it to make glue.’" 

MARXIST KING. MENTION IT ALL.

1000/10

Part self promotion of my blog, @crystalgemcars and part really-wanting-to-show-this-because-I-love-both-Cars-and-Steven-Universe.

I just really like this piece of music from the episode Rose’s Scabbard and I wanted the instrumental part where Pearl remembers when Rose’s offers her the choice of staying or going for her safety and luckily I found someone’s piano cover of that scene.

Honestly I thought this would work well for the Doc/Lightning and Cruz/Lightning relationship (platonic!). 

I feel like this is what I hear when I think bittersweet. 

Pretend Lightning used male pronouns with Doc.

I’m going to eventually make a Cars Music Video with the song Here Comes A Thought and one with a piano cover of the final music for Legend of Korra.

I can’t get on for some reason!
