Two thousand people have chosen to physically react to Dog #1 since his inception. he is saturated now with the combined kinetic energies of over two thousand separate fingers moving to click upon his personhood and disseminate his mitotic image like blood vessels through this fraction of the cybersphere. Not even thinking of the countless Little saccadic eye movements of those that have unwittingly digested him into their passing memory and continued to scroll.
Teen Titans is such a perplexing enigma of a show because y’know it’s got these heavy episodes featuring Raven’s genocidal father, a teenage girl betraying everything she’s worked for to work under an abusive figure, Robin becoming mentally unstable and paranoid over an enemy that isn’t there in one big plot of manipulation
and then there’s an episode where Beast Boy fights alien tofu and everyone getting turned into animals in a magic hat
imagine you saw an alien spacecraft and your first reaction was to critique its flat color palette and unimaginative lines
The Truth is Out There and It Has Bad Aesthetics
Because context actually makes the already great headline even greater:
“I know this is horrible,” del Toro continues. “You sound like a complete lunatic, but I saw a UFO. I didn’t want to see a UFO. It was horribly designed. I was with a friend. We bought a six-pack. We didn’t consume it, and there was a place called Cerro del Cuatro, “Mountain of the Four,” on the periphery of Guadalajara. We said, ‘Let’s go to the highway.’ We sit down to watch the stars and have the beer and talk. We were the only guys by the freeway. And we saw a light on the horizon going super-fast, not linear. And I said, ‘Honk and flash the lights.’ And we started honking.”
The UFO, says del Toro, “Went from 1,000 meters away [to much closer] in less than a second — and it was so crappy. It was a flying saucer, so clichéd, with lights [blinking]. It’s so sad: I wish I could reveal they’re not what you think they are. They are what you think they are. And the fear we felt was so primal. I have never been that scared in my life. We jumped in the car, drove really fast. It was following us, and then I looked back and it was gone.”
Benny gets the most joy when his human mom brings home rescued kittens, so he can help look after them and show them the same love that he received when he was rescued. Whenever Ellen brings home an orphan baby (or a box of babies), Benny anticipates their arrival and is filled with excitement. He becomes their dedicated surrogate dad, and his fatherly instinct kicks in the moment he sees a kitten.
