There was a whole episode about how the red Iron Cross on his harness is made from a magical metal that gives him power.

The iron cross I wear on my chest contains an essence that gets recharged when I jack it with a bro who also has an iron cross. It gives me confidence at work, home, social situations etc. Nobody knows its a JO cross but me and my bro, man at arms.

Okay but like why does he wear it on a bondage harness instead of like...a breastplate or something.

Like I know the MoTU schtick was “sci-fi barbarians” but come on, Adam.

Personally, I think making the gay subtext in He-Man text would improve the show :colbert:

Maybe I'm shallow but I don't really care if they're literally gay or not as long as they're as hot and fanservicey as the Starbarians characters

uh i think you got slash mixed up with something else. That's (usually male) gay stuff.

At the risk of showing how online I am: slash has grown to mean any form of fanfiction which is centered on a ship, regardless of the genders involved. It's sort of a waning term though as far as I can tell.

It comes from the / in ficiton and it does come from Kirk/Spock fiction, so yea it has origins in gay fanfiction, but it expanded to encompass pretty much any fiction based on a pairing.

It's actually really old. Like the Spock/Kirk stuff is from the 70s when Star Trek fan culture started to really solidify. Mostly written by women.

No, not that. I meant it being generalized into all relationships, cause growing up it was all gay all the time, with people putting things like "CONTAINS SLASH" in summaries (yes, I know, trap, spring, etc)

Well the term "slash fiction" still usually means that, but an actual slash between members of any pairing, gay or straight, started in the 2000s afaik

Are we expecting the start of season 3 in maybe January then?
Since season 1 was 13 episodes these two that just got released definitely feel like "Season 2" to me.

now beyond that is a whole different beast but let's not get ahead of ourselves imo


therapy is for everyone; it isn't a diagnosis to want someone in pain to be well


pibbs gets it

Don’t pretend “get therapy,” as innocuous as the words themselves are, is ever going to be perceived as anything other than a cheap insult when posted on the internet and directed at someone you know nothing about outside of a few posts. After all, it’s almost always intended that way.

i know you have to have read the post at this point and it's weird that you feel the need to defend it

also sure it's difficult to ascertain tone from posts but assuming every post is hostile isn't healthy either

basically, don't diagnose me either? is that how this works?

It's the same as therapy except you don't pay an obscene hourly rate to talk to someone who's not qualified to describe themselves as a psychologist. "getting better" or whatever it is you think you've done is just an elaborate way of tricking yourself into being okay with your situation. It's fraud.

You had a real lovely parent? Doesn't matter if you think that's normal or not. To keep that person in your life when you are an adult is still the choice you have to make. Do or don't.

What is not normal is to place childhood emotional trauma on the same level as someone setting of a doomsday device on purpose. One is being like probably 80% of people who've ever had children, and the other is literally someone attempting to commit the ultimate genocide. There is a bigger picture than catra not being mother's favorite.

You're arguing past everybody. Nobody is disagreeing that what Catra did was wrong. People are objecting to the idea that child abuse is no big deal.

At least understand which hill you're dying on here.

Yes, the cartoon supervillain who latches onto powerful children and emotionally abuses them until they want to blow up big chunks of the planet to help her/hurt her is, in fact, bad and evil and not a perfectly normal parent. Quit universalising your awful childhood, dude.

Chalalala~
Kevin Smith uploaded a new episode of "Fatman Beyond" where he and Marc talk with the rest of the writers for "Masters of the Universe: Revelations" about the new project for a while, if anyone cares. You can view the discussion on YouTube, starting about 7 minutes in and lasting about 34 minutes, until just after the 41 minute mark. There's not a lot of actual content discussion, given how recently it was announced, and is more going in to how each of them got the job, vague overviews of how they see the show, what the writing process is so far, what Smith doesn't want it to be (i.e. he doesn't want it to become his usual thing and have characters selling weed in Eternia despite how fun that sounds to one of the writers) and so on, but if you are curious, it's there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfbui8Pag0Q&t=425s

If you don't care about Smith and/or his He-Man at all though, they do briefly talk about She-Ra during it, and I webm'd that bit, since it's pretty short (1 minute 44 seconds to be exact; and some of that is jokes).

https://webm.red/3Tzx

All they really say is that there's no discussion by anyone at the moment regarding trying to connect the two shows together in any way, and that if it's going to happen, it wouldn't happen until they've done at least one season and figured out what kind of show they are and how things are proceeding. It sounds like they think She-Ra should be allowed to run through at least it's original planned seasons before tackling it too. Other than that, one of the other writers, Diya Mishrya, who worked on a "Magic the Gathering" show for Netflix that hasn't released yet, said she thinks that She-Ra's opening song is amazing. Or rather, that "it fucks", and that she listened to it a lot while writing the second episode.
