Good (Encouraging) Stuff (Part 1)

This (spoilers for Our Flag Means Death)…

It says something about the state of dramatic fiction in TV/film that one is expecting this show to queerbait the audience, so when it doesn’t and fully commits to what you’re hoping will happen in this scene the feeling is joyous.

A nice chat and a cuppa can often be the cure.

That can’t possibly be good news…it means someone stole at least 15 years from my sense of time.

Is Trogdor the same character as Strong Bad?

I’m unfamiliar with both, but they sound similar to me.

Trogdor was created by Strong Bad, who I think does his voice as a result.

In all his majesty!

You should definitely watch some Homestar Runner videos if you’re not familiar! There is a whole bunch of them. They are just silly fun. I really loved waiting for a new video to show up on their website… It was a simpler time!

I always loved the videos The Cheat made…

I really don’t know what it is about these silly little web cartoons that captured my heart so… they are just a perfect slice of early 2000s internet culture… I was talking about it with my better half and his theory is that, although you could get shirts and toys and games, it just never felt like they went “commercial” if that makes sense. It was a little weird thing that if you got it, you got it… No need to try and make it widely palatable, when you could just find your audience and speak to them!

I get that. I felt the same about…huh, I think of him as Internet Guy, but he didn’t use that name or really get called that. He did daily videos that i think of that way. Ugh, what’s his name! He went on to do imitations of Morgan Freeman’s voice. D’oh, brain no work this day.

ETA: I would put a link to “The Show” but it looks like the website is down.

Ah right, how could I forget that name!

And yes, I think it was The Show that I watched, 2010 or so.

Hope he’s okay, I remember he went through a rough patch.

I named a cat after him, so it’s an easy one for me to pull up from memory.
