sex inside of marriage is wrong because when you marry someone they become your family and that means it's incest

what to do when you have lower back pain:
- do these back stretches
- avoid stretching your back
- don't twist your back
- do these back rotation stretches
- avoid sitting or lying down for long periods
- avoid running, lifting weights, toe touches
- just walk slowly forever while breathing. be sure to bend sometimes, but remember, no bending

was doing some spring cleaning and found a Bravest Warriors t-shirt. lol.

then suddenly remembered Bravest Warriors had a third and fourth season that nobody watched

a few years ago I watched a youtube retrospective about Cartoon Hangover in general and Bravest Warriors in specific, and even the youtube cartoon nerd that specifically set out to recap the history of Bravest Warriors could not be assed to actually watch the third and fourth seasons. just like for real absolutely nobody watched them

so I googled it and it turns out frederator got the rights back or whatever and they're actually in the process of uploading them to cartoon hangover. good news? they're already through the sensibly-lengthed season 3 and are 5 episodes into the absurd 52-episode season 4
these view counts are pretty dire :[
ten years ago seasons 1 and 2 were getting like 2-10 million views per episode, these are averaging like maybe 15k. not sure if (a) people are just way passed the point of caring and they've long since burned out all the residual goodwill they had left from that initial spark of excitement from the idea of youtube being a viable monetization route for animation studios to release tv-quality cartoons (r.i.p. ShiftyLook) or (B) if the show actually saw some corresponding drop in quality with the move to seeso or vrv or whatever that would justify the relative loss in interest, or ⓒ if most people have just straight up not heard about this and maybe didn't even know that Bravest Warriors had a third and fourth season (and probably mostly forgot it existed)

idk. do I want to revisit this? I feel like it was a good show but also like the moment has very definitely passed. it might actually be even sadder if the third and fourth season turned out to actually be really good.
they might have really blown a good thing with the move to (*googles*) vrv. like, this should have happened 9 years ago, and if it had, there might have still been a Bravest Warriors today

it was probably a very lucrative deal, probably paid a lot more than they were making on youtube (and that may in fact have been the goal all along, to use Cartoon Hangover as a kind of What a Cartoon Show testing/proving ground to sell cartoons to whoever was willing to pick them up) but that vrv money was all venture capital funds from the streaming bubble. vrv didn't have an audience so much as they were trying to buy one, and when it didn't work out that way all of Bravest Warriors' momentum bled out. before that, Bravest Warriors was shaping up to follow in Adventure Time's wake. sci-fi instead of fantasy and a teensy bit more adult, but spiritually very much in the same vein. but the move to vrv just about killed it dead

also felix has a really iconic design and you see its like in places that aren't directly related to him, like batman returns and a bunch of simon stalenhag paintings, because really they're commenting on the proliferation of... well, mickey mouse. (I think probably... disney is a lot more litigious than whoever owned felix, so you could kinda go "look, it looks a lot more like felix than it does mickey, and felix came first. the felix guys aren't suing me, so there's no reason for disney to.") but even before that, there's such as for example the famous kit cat klock, where the cat's eyes move with its tail which is acting as a pendulum? that's not felix. not officially anyway. but the people who own the felix brand, like... didn't do a good job of protecting it lol
and a result of that is there's this vague impression of felix on the world, but it's not particularly associated with a company the way that disney properties are, or even the people that created him (which is good. definitely don't google the names of the creators of felix the cat and find out more about the main one). it's kind of like the Laughing Man logo from standalone complex where signifier is divorced from signified and thus doesn't really mean anything anymore but also kind of means everything

idk I just think an artist could do something cool with all that. if they wanted.
mickey tho? meh.

it's way more interesting to me that felix the cat is in public domain, because felix was a bit more surreal and kind of embraced the cartoon reality instead of trying to do a cartoon version of, like, being in a barn or putting on a stage show or whatever. I could be wrong, I haven't really watched too many of the early cartoon shorts, but I associate felix with what I think of as the more quintessentially cartoony kind of cartoon where like... a character can climb inside of a toaster, and just enter a nonsensical reality where everything is based around the abstract concept of toasting things, and just have a little adventure there, and then it gets terrifying, and then he leaves

I feel like cuphead kind of sparked this appreciation for old rubber hose cartoons, but a very particular kind where you're doing a little bouncy dance and like flowers get angry faces and shoot seeds at you. and not so much the kind of crazy cartoon logic where like you can punch a guy so hard that he turns into 7 smaller versions of the same guy, and they'll like swarm around and grab your shadow and start choking you with it, so you slam 17 doors closed on them and go "phyew!" but then the little guys become become one guy again and he grabs the door off the wall and crumples it into a little ball and eats it so now there's just a blank wall there and you're trapped inside a room with no exit

thinking about how mickey mouse falling into the public domain led to this thing of people doing things that probably would have been legally protected under fair use anyway
and trying to think of what you could do with mickey mouse besides parodying him, and kind of coming up blank because he's just not very interesting

I think the funniest thing would be for warner brothers specifically to release a looney tunes cartoon and have him just be standing there or something
