Casting appreciation gif.

This seriously pisses me off because TWO men of the “correct” ethnicity/race were asked to play the role of Khan. I don’t remember their names because this back when Into Darkness was in casting yo but they BOTH DECLINED.

So there’s a HUGE difference between “well, we asked the best in the business and they both said no, so we should go with another actor of the ‘incorrect’ race who is also very well suited for the role” and doing what the Hunger Games did which is literally only let white girls audition for Katniss. 

When actors decline there is fuckall you can do. It’s shitty, no doubt, that Khan ended up being white, but BC did a great job in the role, while knowing he was third choice. I won’t begrudge him for taking it, and I won’t begrudge the casting crew for going with him after their best actors declined. 

^ Bless.

I had not known that the two first choices for Khan had declined and I thought that they just went for Benedict. Which really made me hesitant to go watch it this weekend with my family.
But now I feel a lot better about the whole thing. (I also didn’t know that tidbit about the Hunger Games. And that’s messed up.)

Okay since it looks like I won’t be starting a cosplay sideblog, I’ll be posting updates on this one with the tag #bonybat cosplays.
For your blacklisting pleasure.
I will be working on:
God tier Vriska (whole cosplay)
God tier Aradia (whole cosplay)
God tier John (hood resew, shoe repaint, and Warhammer of Zillyhoo prop)

…I am going to die…
Tomorrow will be the easy day. I need to get the loft organized and cleaned for when I pick up the sewing machine.
Get started on both sets of horns.
Shop for wigs/foam heads and shoes.
Get various home chores done such as laundry, showering, and vacuuming so I don’t feel like a mess when I start sewing.
Possibly make a trip to Michaels and Home depot to pick up the first of the zillyhoo supplies and some butcher paper. Also maybe buckets to transport wigs on the heads in on the way to LA so I don’t have to restyle them too much there…

This is someone dying while having an MRI scan. Before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins that make you feel a range of emotions. Tragically beautiful.

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION SOME OF MY NEWER FOLLOWERS DO NOT KNOW WHO THE AQUABATS ARE. Lemme tell you, I talk about them a lot. So let me inform you, and possibly other followers who they are. Right now!

Wow what is this, is this, The Aquabats? A rock’n’roll super hero band that saves the day. Why, yes! YES IT IS! The Aquabats have been around since 1994, worn many different outfits and currently are known for wearing cyan rashgaurds, sometimes purple ones!

They use to be a ska band, even then they were like a nerdyska band because they dressed up like super heroes. As displayed in this video for Super Rad here. Man the 90’s where a magical time. This is the part where someone mentioned Travis Barker was in the Aquabats, you know that guy from Blink 182? But I’ll be honest I’ve heard this so many times I wanna fucking barf.

Later on, The Aquabats lost the horns. Stop asking them about this, it’s easier for them to write songs and the guys who did the horns still work quite often with the bats. It’s great. So what are they now that they don’t have horns? Truly not a ska band, no they’re like a nerd-rock synth pop punk band now. That sounds like this, this is just one of my favourite songs from their latest album. 

At shows they are known for fighting monsters, Kaiju style. They commonly let kids on stage during songs like Pool Party to dance around and throw them into the crowd so the kids can crowd surf. If there’s no kids? Beachballs and other floatation devices. I’m saying their live shows are a fucking experience.

Now they also have a TV SHOW! YAAAAAAY! WOW A TV SHOW CRAZY. It took them 10+ years to get this show, I waited, 10 years for that show to happen. Thanks to The Hub, many cadets are now able to see the Aquabats in their prime glory. If you have Netflix or just wanna watch it on Hulu go do that! Right now. Look at these rascals on their 0 budget tv show.

Burgers, so majestic (from s01e01).

Man wow, not sold yet? I don’t know what to tell you, other than look at this, they have cartoons in their TV show.

CARTOOONS! Some featuring Lil’ Bat. Some featuring them. Also there are dudes you know all over the show, featuring people from bands such as Man-or-Astroman?, The Vandals, MCR, Devo, or just plain cool people like Tony Hawk, Weird Al, and more. You’ll watch it and be like “Is that Plankton from Spongebob” YES IT IS. YES IT IS. THAT IS HIM DOING THE NARRATION.

But nah, The Aquabats are Seriously The Best Band In The World, and you should give them a list.

I leave you with this.

!!!! WHAT’S THAT? That’s not an aquabat in that rashgaurd. I TRICKED YOU. WE’RE NOT DONE YET. THAT’S ME WITH RICKY FITNESS AND HE’S IN NORMAL COTHES AND I’M DRESSED UP. WHAT IS THIS?

Fans of the Aquabats are often called Cadets. CADETS ARE RAD! They don’t hate on each other, or they shouldn’t if they do fuck them. Cadets follow the aquabats, they are all about being rad to one another and supporting the Bats. While Cadets actually gets really complicated, Official ones vs non official ones, they’re all the same. While there should be some respect held for those who have a hard, don’t hate on them. Respect that they got that, it’s important. Aquacadets are sometimes treated differently on Tumblr in which they become a persona, while saying “I have a cadet” is still really weird cause like, ahh that’s a person. The cadetsonas are basically what those people would pick as their Cadet Name So No Hate Here.

Cadets come in all shapes and sizes, genders and ages, from kids to old people and there’s only fun between them. They will help you out if you are in a jam, that is just how we roll.

And that’s basically it.

That’s it guys.

The Aquabat Primer, by Naff

I’m going to be busting my ass over the next two weeks to get around 2 full cosplays and 1 giant prop done before Anime expo. Plus a few other possible things.
I don’t want to flood your dashes with nothing but progress pics necause that’s just about all you’ll hear from me.

WHEN YOU SCARE AWAY A SHARK IN ANIMAL CROSSING

Before we left for vacation I told my mom that my roommate brought some *cookies* from Washington. I asked if she wanted me to bring some.

She had to think for a minute.
