It's october! merry octobermas

Lol the Christmas lights and decorations were already up in the malls here since last month. The ber months (that's what we call this time of year because every month from September to December ends in "-ber") is basically an entire Christmas season in itself.

Guys, I am like beside myself. I found this video hiding in my subscription box. This is probably significant to no one else but me, but this is a really special surprise. The Blasting Company wrote all of the music for Over the Garden Wall, which is one of my favorite pieces of animation and has what is probably my favorite soundtrack from any piece of media. Van Parks is a solo artist and song writer/ producer who is most well-known for his work with The Beach Boys (and more specifically Brian Wilson,) Randy Newman, and wrote all of the songs for The Brave Little Toaster. Song Cycle, Parks' most (in)famous album, is one of my favorite albums, and is the one album I could never get @TheOriginalTiki into lol. So what we have here is a collaboration between two of my favorite relatively obscure (or, rather, unsung) artists. It's a quiet, pretty piece, but you can absolutely hear both artists' voices and styles coming through, especially in the arrangement.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. I promise not to gush about obscure musicians again, but I know that there are some Over The Garden Wall fans on here and I was too excited not to share this.

Here's a new clip of Muppets Haunted Mansion featuring Yvette Nicole Brown as the Hearse Driver with Gonzo and Pepe:

I was thinking earlier today how journey into YOUR imagination is so 90s that I kinda love it. It really captures the aesthetic of that time period well, even though it's not very good in ride format.

Sora is now in Smash Bros.!

Just a general reminder to make sure to keep up with your mental health, and don't listen to others and how to feel. Your feelings are valid, and you are entitled to how you feel.

Me reacting to the character reveal.

Sora is now in Smash Bros.!

Never thought I’d see the day when Mario, Minecraft Steve, Sonic, Mickey Mouse, and Sephiroth can appear together in the same game

The bad news is that if they make a smash ultimate 2, it would be really difficult cause of sora's licencing rights. Pretty cool thought it happened.

Oh no, the 3d show that was moderately popular at best and is radially available as a DVD extra is going way...

So, any guesses what the replacement for Shrek 4D is going to be? The Kung Fu Panda show would make sense, though apparently there are some rumors of a Minions VillainCon walkthrough attraction.

It's been an absolutely insane week for me. I finally got an official date that I start at Port Orleans - Riverside, I have no place to live in Orlando, and I am going between super excited and worried I'm making a giant effin mistake. So that's where I'm at rn.

Hopefully you’re exploring your options…even if it comes down to renting a bedroom in somebody’s house! I got accepted into the WDW College Program as a freshman. Although I think it was right decision for me to not take it, the little know of you, the Port Orleans sounds like it would be right up your alley! And how fun it would be to go to the parks on your days off!

Why can’t I just magically make some big impressive thing without putting in any effort?​
