it's okay to watch marvel movies on your phone. you're not allowed to watch real movies on your phone, though.

And as the Paramount merger continues, and we wonder what it means to feel media slip farther from our collective grasps, I'm reminded as always of one of my all-time favorite pieces of writing: this thread from my dear friend Josie about who owns our heroes in the end. Please read the whole thing.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

too much text on magic cards these days

my echoverse pitch:
Toxrill, the Explosive - 2RR
At the beginning of each end step, put a gunpowder counter on each creature you don't control.
Creatures you don't control get +1/+0 for each gunpowder counter on them.
Whenever a creature you don't control with a gunpowder counter on it dies, destroy all creatures with that many or fewer gunpowder counters on them
4/4

Toxrill, the Corrosive - 5BB
Legendary Creature - Slug Horror
At the beginning of each end step, put a slime counter on each creature you don't control.
Creatures you don't control get -1/-1 for each slime counter on them.
Whenever a creature you don't control with a slime counter on it dies, create a 1/1 black Slug creature token.
UB, Sacrifice a Slug: Draw a card.

they let me write about sonic on my first day! and also bitch about remakes appealing to escapism and fear!

At this point, you can't even open the Steam front page without stumbling over remake after remake (sometimes remasters, just to spice things up). To say remakes are in vogue would be an understatement: they're an almost guaranteed moneymaker that can prey on nostalgia and a lust for a 'better time' to deliver games that can offer some ephemeral reproduction of the feeling of childhood, thus protecting from the Scaries of living in the current time. And, unless you're Square Enix having the Final Fantasy VII Remake series juggle both a new story and the original as a metanarrative, remakes usually grant that sweetest of temptations: the same thing you like, forever.

That X-Men panel where Storm gets punched into Shibuya mid-way through the Shibuya Incident from JJK is awesome because it describes Shibuya as a multiverse cluster of curses and magic. Which like, I have to agree with based on how many games and anime take place in that city

what about piccolo though; does he know about the namekian dragon balls? surely freiza would blow up namek again, might be able to infer dragon balls from that

Esper Quinn 💠 @esper.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

trunks can't come back in time and handle anything because vegeta almost certainly dies without ever knowing bulma exists. maybe bulma could figure out a way to deal with freiza all on her own though, i honestly think this is the best hope anyone has to deal with him.

Esper Quinn 💠 @esper.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

this was my thinking, i don't think there's enough freiza-sized threats at the most important times to hold freiza back, so he kind of runs the table on all of existence. up until you get to multiple universes with beerus in super and everything.

saw a gif of Launch shooting a rifle at Goku and Krillin and briefly imagined what the rest of the series would be like if Goku died right there. vegeta probably takes out raditz, but with no allies freiza probably cleans vegeta out. do the androids still get made? majin stuff??
