futurama is one of those shows that lures you in by being funny and then rips your fucking heart out
If you didn’t know the hand was her father, the squid thing her mother, her parents left her at an orphanage when she was a baby but in reality were looking out for her all her life
what makes it even sadder is the reason they left her in an orphanage. they didn’t want her to know she was a mutant. they wanted her to live a normal human life so they gave her up while they live in the sewers as mutants.
she is a cyclops
how did she NOT know she was a mutant
BITCH if u watched the show or did any research at all you’d know that she thought she was an ALIEN, which in that society was completely acceptable. Try again!!!!
Her mother used her Ph.D in Exolinguistics to forge a note in an incomprehensible alien language to make the deception seem legit, so nobody would ever question why she was the only cyclops, or suspect her of being a mutant on the surface, which was illegal.
This, Jurassic Bark and the one about Fry’s lucky clover are genuinely among the most gutwrenching episodes of tv ever
“Why do you watch kid shows rather than stuff for adults?”
Because kids shows have:
Clean humor that won’t make me uncomfortable
Jokes that aren’t related to sex, drugs, death or politics
Almost no mention of current events and things that I would like to avoid hearing about in my leisure time
Characters that like each other and treat each other kindly
Plots that hold morals, determination, teamwork and love in high regard, rather than being nihilistic about everything
Interesting and emotional plots that aren’t slice of life or sitcom-based
Or drama that relies on real emotion and arcs rather than overdone melodrama and ‘who’s sleeping with who’
And creative settings and concepts that adult shows would be afraid to use for fear of seeming juvenile.
They’re more likely to include queer characters, and those characters will not be reduced to sex jokes.
Romance, if it exists, is treated as a minor plot point and not the end of a character arc.
Actually good character design and animation.
Found family and strong friendships instead of 'group of people that are constantly backstabbing each other and don’t seem to actually like each other much’
No gratuitous violence
Sometimes characters just take care of one another when they’re sick or depressed. Characters aren’t nearly as dysfunctional, toxic, or even abusive as in adult tv dramas. No sexual assault or domestic violence.
Characters feel more fleshed out rather than one dimensional cardboard cuttouts filling a predetermined role
Minimum Wage Employee: I deserve a raise. No one who works full time should live in poverty.
Median Wage Employee: No way! Then you’ll make as much as I do.
CEO: You don’t even want to know how much I make. But please keep blaming poor people even though nothing is stopping you from also demanding a raise.
I’d like to point out: Median Wage employees are only like that because they know they deserve a raise too but the company would never give it to them. If the company gave everyone a raise when they raised minimum wage, this wouldn’t be an issue.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
