Net Neutrality Update - Our Last Chance

So I haven’t seen anything on this subject in quite some time, but I am subscribed to FreePress’ email newsletter where they keep people updated.

Guys, the battle for the net isn’t over yet, just because you don’t see any more posts on it. This text is copy-pasted from the update email I received.

The Net Neutrality repeal is about to become official. The FCC is expected to publish its Net Neutrality rollback in the Federal Register tomorrow, which means that Congress will be able to examine the rules and move forward with a vote to reverse them. This also means that we have a limited amount of time to get all of our elected officials on board to save the open internet — but we have a plan to get there.

Millions of people have spoken out against the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal because they recognize how important the open internet is for racial justice, free expression, innovation and economic opportunity. The momentum we’ve seen has been grassroots and creative, and gives us hope for the future.

Here’s a recap of what’s happened since the FCC’s vote:

• Legislation that would enforce Net Neutrality has popped up all over the country. • We filed one of the very first lawsuits to overturn the FCC’s Net Neutrality-killing vote and at least 22 state attorneys general are also suing the FCC. • Burger King (yes, that Burger King!) created an ad explaining Net Neutrality. • Team Internet activists have been showing up outside their members of Congress’ offices all over the country to tell them to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to undo the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal. • The pressure people are putting on Congress is working: Members have been signing on to support the CRA effort to save the open internet left and right. We’re just 1 vote away from winning a CRA vote in the Senate — but we have our work cut out for us in the House. • Along with our allies at #BattlefortheNet, we’re gearing up for another internet-wide day of action to save the open internet…

On Feb. 27, we’ll launch Operation #OneMoreVote, a massive day of action to secure the final Senate vote needed to undo the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal. Will you join us?

On this day, internet users, small businesses, online communities, public-interest groups and popular websites will mobilize to flood lawmakers with calls, emails and tweets. Our goal: to secure the final vote in the Senate needed to pass a resolution of disapproval that would overturn the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal. We need your help to make this happen: RSVP to join us online on Feb. 27.

There are a ton of ways you can take part in Operation #OneMoreVote, ranging from changing your profile photo, to tweeting and calling your members of Congress and spreading the word. Everything helps.

See you online on Feb. 27th!

This is very good for your first time drawing these two. Thank you for doing this suggestion! I think it’s adorable and I hope you had fun doing this.

Here’s a fun fact, the meaning of the name Suzie is “lily”. Lila is only one letter away from that. I know it’s just a coincidence, but I just found that interesting.

Never actually drew them before, this is a good way to start it.

Has anybody tried doing this for the Beach City teens yet? I’m tried for Ronaldo a few times but I either get Weeping Egg Cup or Sad Waffle. If anybody is willing to do this for the Beach City people that would be great. I’m not sure if I’m the most trustworthy to handle the personality quizzes for these characters. Thank you for reading.

I Just Really Want to Talk About This Scene From “Mazel Tina”

I don't know how fans feel about this episode in general (I mean, Tina wasn't her most selfless this episode and poor Louise had to be stuck with Tammy all because Tina decided to do nothing about it) The one highlight of the episode I wanted to talk about was this moment with Zeke. It was so cute! Zeke was such a ham, hyper, and I love it! I'm just going to copy and paste the frames that I saved and add commentary to them. Here we go!

Man, why do you look so nervous in this frame Zeke?! Also to add, in the establishing shot before this frame, Zeke was clearly closer to the table than Jimmy Jr was. Why in such a hurry Zeke, hmm X3!? Okay, enough shippy jokes. The reasonable explanation for this is Zeke is hyped up on sugar and is just antsy from that while probably wanting to eat a burger asap. I can still indulge in the thought of Zeke being nervous around Tina though and no one can stop me!

Zeke putting his arm first on the table just proves further that Zeke was closer to the table than Jimmy Jr. was. Zeke just really wants that burger. Still antsy from the 3 sugary drinks (Tammy-tinis) he had.

There goes Tina again, still hating having to fight for Jimmy Jr.'s attention again because Zeke's just chilling. My how far she has come. Okay, now that the next frames are just me highlighting Zeke's adorable hyper moments.

Look he be soaring from his sugar high! XD

Look at this boy! How can you hate such a happy, hyper kid?!

:]! That is all I have to say about this one.

I just really wanted to share my love for this one scene of Zeke. He had no reason to be that cute with his sugar rush explosion! Protect this tiny, gremlin child!

Finally googled if anybody discussed the meaning of "Just What I needed"

So here's the link to what people think the song is about. https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/5845/ Basically, if you gender-flip the song, I think it fits Tina's relationship with Jimmy Jr. She has no idea why she likes him and he's not that healthy to be around but he's just "what she needed" anyway. It's a cynical, dark song about a toxic partner that the singer shouldn't be with but they are drawn to the partner anyway in short. So yeah, not the most positive song for Tina the poor girl. Though not sure if that was the intention on the part of the showrunners to signal that Jimmy Jr. is toxic or they just thought it was a good song for spin the bottle?

Honestly, I just want to see the Hormon-iums end credits be analyzed. More specifically how each boy of the 4 reacted to Tina kissing them. I mostly only care about Zeke and J Ju obviously. Jimmy Jr. and Tina are obviously more confident and have no hesitation because they kissed before. However, I just find it cute that before Zeke kissed Tina he tilted his head and raised his eyebrows as if to say "Are you sure you want to do this" or "you ready for this" (at least that's how I interpreted it). The point is, there was some hesitation before the moment. After it happened, Zeke was shocked and his eyes opened faster than Tina's did. Even though the end credits aren't canon, it's still interesting to see all the different ways the kissing was animated and it wasn't just a copy/paste kissing animation.

Hey there! Thank you very much for your patience! And thank you so much for this very interesting request and I agree with your analysis but let's take one step after the other.

As always this is very much just my opinion! My interpretation! My headcanons! (sorry for any mistakes).

First I want to take a look at the kiss with Darryl.

Because I think there is something interesting to take into account. I want to think Tina chose Darryl over Peter in this moment because they kissed before in "Can't buy me math".

I like to think they are still friends. We all know Tina loves kissing but many scenes make me wonder if to her it does not always has to be romantic. She just likes to kiss without the prospect of finding her one true love through it. Maybe it's all practice?

The first kiss is very quick, just a peck and means nothing. Darryl even wipes his lips while Tina is monologing.

And now let us look at the other kisses. I gif-ed them.

Nameless Boy #1: I feel like this boy knows what he is doing. They near each other without any hestiance, both having their eyes open at first. He realises that he is not closes enough, peeks and closes the distance. It's simple and short and there is no romantic intent or passion. Tina doesn't smile and it's just a short soft peck. Her eyebrows rise after the kiss but I guess it's suprise because he closes in rather fast and she is pushed back a bit. Let's get over with it XD

Nameless Boy #2: I wonder if that was his first kiss. He goes in with closed eyes. Makes me also wonder if Tina realised her mistake from before. She has her eyes open until she knows she is close enough and only at the end she closes her eyes. Again the kiss is a very soft short peck. What I really find remarkable is how he his eyes fly open. He looks so suprised. Not sure because it is over already or if it was better or worse than he thought? Also it does not feel romantic. Again it's short and Tina does not smile!

But I headcanon that since Louise coached her Tina is a really good kisser. She also had a lot of practice xD. Either way, if it was his first kiss... good for him :)

Zeke: As you said, there is this questioning look on Zekes face - tilt of his head down wards, raising of his eyebrows - before he moves in. Interesting is, that Tina moves at the exactly same time so the communication of her agreeing must has been somewhere we aren't able to see.

This is after the episode "The Oeder Games" in which Zeke told Tina the second time that he likes her. And this is also after the episode "Stand by Gene" in which Tina considers Zeke as a potential Love interest - even if only for a second.

I'm not sure if it just me but Tina seems to smile a bit more than with the others? I'm not 100% sure though. But what is happening is that this kiss takes a bit longer. Still quick but longer. It's also not one of them moving while the other waits, no the both move at the same time. They reach the middle at the same time and both have their eyes closed. They know where they have to move! And what I really love (like you mentioned!) is after they move away from each other Zeke looks so suprised like "first kiss with Tina!!!" and his eyes actually snap open because (I imagine) he wants to see her reaction. And Tinas reaction is amazing. Because her eyes OPEN SO SLOWLY?! She moves back, her mouth returns to it's normal position - maybe a slight smile - and then her eyes slowly open. Like she thinks that was better than she thought.

This is so different to the other two. It's also soft but different soft... holy shit.

Jimmy Jr.: Last one. Jimmy Jr. is the boy she had kissed most of the times at that point. They had been on-and-off in the last five seasons. Here too, both move in at the same time. They know what they do, they have done this before BUT the last gap is closed by Jimmy Jr. This kiss seems to be like the least soft. We also don't see the after-kiss. Right after this it cuts to black.

What is interesting is that there is also not going on much on Jimmy Jr.s face. His eyes drop at the beginning and I wonder if it's because he has to figure out how much he has to lean down so he can reach Tinas lips. Tinas eyebrows lower while she is leaning in but immediately raise up right before the kiss. She also seems to smile a bit? Compared to that JJs expression is sill very neutral and that is so in-character. He always seems so distant and there is never shown any reason why he likes Tina.

Maybe he likes to kiss Tina? She is probably is very good at it but in this case it's also just a game?

I'm honestly stumped about Jimmy Jr.

So, I hope you enjoyed that. As an (almost) last thought: I was very confused about you saying "the credits are not canon" and wondered where that came from? And then I realised that sometimes that might be true XD For example when they are just pixels. But stuff like this here I actually consider canon, as well as some of the the scenes when they are back in the restaurant. Maybe not the singing part but Tina kissing all the boys at the party? Yeah that seems like it can work. But in the end I guess it's up to us what we want to add to our (head-)canon.

Now to the very last thought. I looked up the song "Just what I needed" by The Cars

But the lyrics gave me nothing. So if anyone wants to do a deep dive into analysing the lyrics, be my guest!

Classical Pieces You've Probably Heard but Might Not Remember the Name

William Tell Overture- Rossini (Most famous part at 8:45, but why not listen to the whole thing?) I’m adding hints, at least to the ones I recognized culturally. This one is “go, horsey, go!”

Also Sprach Zarathustra- Strauss Slow, dramatic entry scene, IN SPAAACE.

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik- Mozart People running out of a fancy wedding or something. Also known as DUN, dun DUN, dun DUN dun DUN dun DUUUUN.

Symphony 94, Mvt. 2 “Surprise Symphony”- Haydn ?

Toccata and Fugue in d Minor-Bach Halloween organ!

Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2- Chopin Picture a tiny old woman playing piano in a sunlit room with lots of flower vases, about the spill the tragic secrets of her past to some timid young visitor.

Rondo alla Turca- Mozart the babysitter from The Incredibles: “Time for some COGNITIVE ENRICHMENT!”

Sinfonie de Fanfares: Rondeau- Jean-Joseph Mouret Royalty is coming. Or someone is getting married. Or royalty is getting married. Also the PBS Masterpieces theme.

The Four Seasons: Spring- Vivaldi (I just linked to the whole thing because it’s great) Again, someone is getting married, but this one is strings instead and a lot less frumpy.

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring- Bach That one that amateur guitarists love where the notes are all up and down but all the same length. Also used in movie weddings.

O Fortuna (from Carmina Burana)- Carl Orff SONG OF DOOM. Also song of “baby on fire!” in The Incredibles.

Funeral March- Chopin ?

Orpheus in the Underworld: Infernal Galop (A.K.A. Can Can)- Offenbach Well, “aka can-can” says it all.

Pomp and Circumstance (You probably graduated to this)- Elgar Oh yes, Baaaa dun dun dun duun duuuuun… Also if you were a bandie you had to play it for 3 years before graduating to it.

Gayane: Sabre Dance- Aram Khachaturian Comically hectic productivity, a circus clown juggling while standing on a ball, or perhaps a rapidly-approaching termite infestation. Could go any way, really.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Wedding March- Mendelssohn The song movies play right AFTER they both say “I do.”

Carmen: Les Toreadors- Bizet I can’t be the only one who remembers when ‘Hey Arnold’ did this. “Bullfights and swordfights, rolling in manuuure!”

The Ride of the Valkyries- Wagner Good song for a naval battle I guess? I can only think of the mini golf course I went to as a kid with the creepy castle on Hole 18 that played this.

Für Elise- Beethoven That one every amateur piano player loves to play because the beginning is just E and E-flat over and over. Also ballet and piano recital scenes in movies.

Dance of the Hours- Ponchielli Hello mudda, hello fadda, here I am at, Camp Granada…

Rigotello: La Donna e Mobile- Verdi More than a few sophisticated movie villains (or snobby good guys) have this playing on a Victrola. Also, tell me you don’t picture Pavaroti no matter who’s actually singing.

Night on Bald Mountain- Mussorgsky ?

Romeo and Juliet: Love Theme- Tchaikovsky More movie-love, usually building up to admitting they live each other.

Entry of the Gladiators- Julius Fucik I have one word for you: CIRCUS.

Lakmé: Flower Duet- Delibes OMG ALIAS. Nadia’s spy  backstory in Film Noir!

Peer Gynt: In the Hall of the Mountain King- Greig Mischievous Tiptoeing in Movies song. Also something growing out of control, slowly at first and then quickly, and (comically) exploding.

Rodeo: Hoedown- Copland The title says it all tbh.

Peer Gynt: Morning Mood- Greig Sunrise/waking up Movie Song du jour.

New World Symphony Mov. [2][4]- Dvorak Well now I’m thinking of “An American Tail” and I’m crying…

Ave Maria (You knew this, but did you know that it was by Schubert?) Nothing to add. I’m not a music snob, really, but if you didn’t know this, YOU SHOULD.

Canon in D- Pachelbel This is the one that the pretty Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas song comes from. :-)

Add others if you want! Have fun!

Yay! Willow gets more cute outfits! I love her so much and want her to be in all the cute outfits I can think of. Though, this is all I had in mind for now. Below the "keep reading" barrier is Willow's lingerie look. I made it so I could show people as much of Willow's vitiligo as I could without making her completely nude. I show the front and back of her lingerie attire, so enter at your own risk of seeing Willow's heinie. Though like I said in my first post about Willow, her patterns aren't stationary. So there's no obligation to be 100% accurate with her marks. Heck, it could make designing clothes for her more fun if the vitiligo patterns are mixed up every now and then. Anyway, enjoy the cuteness and all that jazz. Edit 8/11/2023: I added another dress for Willow.

So I Just Found Out About the New Episode After Next Week’s New Episode Is Called “What About Job”

I'm very intrigued by this title and the synopsis. It sounds like it's going to be another Belcher kids tell stories episode. I really hope that we get to see aged-up versions of the kids, even if it's only hypothetical. I so want to know if I was struck by Apollo's prophecy dodgeball or was way off in their designs! XD Either way, I never expected to get an aged-up Belcher kids episode this fast! Then again, I only just recently got into the show while older fans have been waiting way longer. Though I don't want to hold my breath because I still could be wrong about where the episode will be going. Heck I could be right and still not get the kids aged up and they'll still have their child bodies but with their dream jobs in their hypotheticals because it's funny. XD I really want to see them aged up in the maybe stories, so they better not take that away from me if I'm right. lol

I don't know if you still are doing requests. Would you be willing to do sketches of Wolfgang and Edmund? I just kind of want to see them either being jerks to kids off screen, jerks to each other, or maybe just make have Wolfgang find Edmund in his King Rules costume and Edmund being all like, "I can explain!" To Wolfgang. Thank you for your time and just have fun with it with whatever you choose if you do choose. XD

Guys, I Think Zeke Has a Type:

Zeke really likes the ones that wear mainly blue with a yellow (or analogous to yellow) hair accessory, doesn't he? XD The ones after Tina are from "Pig Trouble in Little Tina" and "Can't Buy Me Math". The middle one is a bit harder to prove since I only have the context clues of Tammy and Jocelyn immediately kissing the boys next to them to go by. There's no proof of anything happening between Zeke and the girl (which I dub Nessa until I find out her real name). Good for Zeke though if he landed a legit date in that episode. It's sweet given that he mostly goes stag at the school events. The last one was obviously never going to get anywhere (as it should because it's wrong for obvious reasons). I still felt I should include because it helps with my "blue clothes and yellow/analogous to yellow hair accessory" pattern that Zeke seems to have. In episode, it was a hilarious bait-and-switch when for a second the episode made you think Zeke was going to make his move on Jocelyn when in reality he wanted her to get out of his way. XD So yeah, that's all I have so far. I just found it amusing when I noticed it and I wanted to share it. The observation between Zeke and Nessa is still shakey because she could just be chilling stag next to Zeke that is also going stag on the hay ride. I just feel given the context clues in the episode, I think the assumption they were trying to get us to make was that everyone was kissing except for Tina and JJ until Tina asked to join along.
