Amazing News

@wonderfulworldofdarklords just followed me, one of my favorite podcasts!!!! Their Conversion of Disney Movies to Ravenloft Domains of Dread Have Inspired so many of my posts. Thank you So much Tom or Rachel Kolar. I work so much on mutants and masterminds and DnD stuff and the fact that their DnD stuff recognized me makes me so happy.(I was hyperactive all morning from joy.)

if they do I need acorn enthrall. I just want to feel that card’s power even though it’s never playable.

I'd like to request a Secret Lair that includes all the Sorcerer’s Apprentice cards please!

I don’t know if we have the rights to the cards.

I hyperfixated on the Entire Roller-Rama But The Abstinence Camp Episode does have too little art.

i think more people need to become attached to like random freaking hatchetfield characters that only appear in like 1 nmt episode like come on where’s the love and content for stopwatch? mary and noah? hailey? snigglette? i do not see NEARLY enough content of boy jerry and girl jeri and that upsets me

Introducing content warnings for D's Journal

Hello, dear listeners! Because our upcoming episode has significantly more intense content than usual in D’s Journal, we’re planning to include a content warning for it, and we’ve decided that it’s a good practice to include content warnings for D’s Journal in general. We want to establish a few general guidelines about how they'll look.

Content warnings will be listed under the timestamps. That way it’s easy to avoid them if you don’t want spoilers, but they’re available if you need them.

Please be aware that these content warnings are only for D’s Journal, not for the out-of-character discussion in the episode; we discuss body horror in the Princess Mononoke episode, but D never encounters any of the horrible wormy boar-demons, so that one wouldn’t have had a content warning for body horror. (If you feel like we need more content warnings for the episodes, please let us know because we want everyone to feel comfortable.) That’s because D’s Journal has the potential to get a lot more bracing than the episode proper, since there’s a big difference between Tom and Rachel sitting around chatting about WandaVision and D experiencing it firsthand.

HOW THEY’LL LOOK

Content warnings are going to be divided into three rankings, based on how prominent they are in the episode: major, moderate, and minor. Explanations for each one, with mind control/memory manipulation as the example:

Major: D experiences or witnesses this firsthand, and it’s played for horror. A lot of episodes won’t have major content warnings; plenty of awful things happen in Olympus and Crescent City, for instance, but D didn’t witness them. A good rule of thumb: if it unsettles D so much that she can’t be sarcastic about it, it’s probably major.

Examples of episodes that would get a major content warning for mind control or memory manipulation:

WandaVision, of course. D spends most of the episode as Wanda’s meat puppet. 

Encanto, because even though Abuela only whammies D for a minute, she sees all the NPCs who have been whammied and is disturbed.

Toy Story. D doesn’t spend much time believing she’s a toy, but it’s thoroughly milked for horror potential.

Moderate: D experiences or witnesses it firsthand but it isn’t played for horror, or she reports on something that she heard secondhand with a level of detail.

Examples of episodes that would get a moderate content warning for mind control or memory manipulation:

Spirited Away. D loses her name and her memories, but both she and the listener know from the beginning that there’s a plan in place for her to get them back, and she doesn’t dwell on the horror of the experience. 

Home Alone. D gets a brief dose of the McElminster House’s “silver tuna” power, but shakes it off almost immediately and treats it as an annoyance rather than a violation.

Tron: D never sees any programs being rectified and doesn’t know for sure whether that fate befell the program who helped her, but it comes up frequently and unsettles her.

Minor: D mentions it in passing but doesn’t dwell on it.

Examples of episodes that would get a minor content warning for mind control or memory manipulation:

The Jungle Book. D’s guide warns her about Kaa, but they never meet him or share detailed stories about his victims.

NOTES ON SPECIFIC TRIGGERS

A few specific notes on common triggers, so you have a sense of how far they’ll go and whether you need to check for them every episode. If there’s ever an exception to these boundaries, we’ll put an announcement at the beginning of the episode.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT

For sexual harassment and assault that doesn’t involve any charm spells or love potion nonsense, D has already experienced the absolute worst that this will ever get in Beauty and the Beast, which boiled down to “Gaston got fresh in an unspecified way and continued getting fresh after I told him to buzz off, so I eldritch blasted him in the cajones.” She will never experience anything worse than that. Full stop. 

Secondhand experience with sexual harassment and assault will only come up if it’s baked into the setting, like it was in Beauty and the Beast and Hunchback of Notre Dame, and D’s going to be euphemistic about it because she doesn’t want to talk about it any more than we do. (I honestly don’t know if this is ever going to come up again, because who would it come up for except Gaston and Frollo? But just in case we get an oddball Listener’s Choice or April episode or something, there it is.)

Writing out the extended Labyrinth journal made us realize that we need a special caveat for charm spells and love potion nonsense, since D got sucked into a World Falls Down bubble and kissed Jareth while she was in there. If there’s any kind of enchantment that leads to D being in a romantic situation that isn’t 100% consensual, we’ll put a warning at the beginning of the episode, the written content warning will detail exactly what happens, and it will never go any farther than the bounds of a PG-rated podcast.

RACISM, QUEERPHOBIA, ABLEISM, AND MISOGYNY

Any racism D encounters will be fantastical. That said, there may be strong parallels to real-world marginalized groups, especially if it's part of the source material (Roma for Vistani and Travelers, immigrants for Runes, etc). If that's the case, we’ll let you know in the content warning along with the general racism warning.

Unlike some other phobias and isms, there’s no Disney property where pushing back against queerphobia is an overt theme. That means we don’t have to engage with it, so we’re not planning to do so. If we can get through this entire podcast without D having the faintest idea that anyone would care what genders anyone else identifies with or is attracted to, we’ll call it a win.

Ableism may come up, and misogyny already has, so please do check the content warnings for details if you’re concerned about those. 

ANIMAL CRUELTY

If it isn’t intrinsic to the setting or character (looking at you, Cruella), it’s only going to come up in passing, like the mention that there are no pets or livestock in Arendelle.

The exception is animals with human levels of intelligence, since they’re basically NPCs. Sorry, Iago, you’re not safer than an aarakocra just because you’re pocket-sized.

CHILD ENDANGERMENT AND DEATH

We’re parents. We check “Does the Dog Die?” for this one every time we watch a horror movie with a kid in it. When Tom runs Curse of Strahd, there are no dead kids involved with Dream Pies. If we recommend horror novels or movies to each other and don't warn each other about any dead kids first, someone's sleeping on the couch. We freaking hate it when child characters die or suffer permanent harm.

That said, there are some settings where Very Bad Things happening to children are thoroughly baked in, so it has to come up sometimes. Part of the horror of Neverland is Pan’s disregard for the Lost Boys’ safety, and it’s going to be impossible to do a horror setting of Monsters Inc., Pleasure Island, or Hocus Pocus without traumatizing or killing some child NPCs. There will be content warnings when that happens, and our utter distaste for it is a good indicator that it won’t be graphic or gratuitous. If it isn’t baked into the setting, though, it’s a safe bet that any time a child is endangered, they’re going to be rescued and come out without a scratch (like Ratigan kidnapping the kids in Great Mouse Detective).

Fictional High School Shirts

I have gotten heathers Westerberg and be more chill Middleborough shirts so next I’m going to Get Mean Girls North Shore,Dear Evan Hansen Westview Shirts(Though the name was only in the Movie), and Hatchetfield High shirts for the Hatchetfield series. Which one should I try to collect first. I’m most likely picking hatchetfield since there’s official merch always Avalible.
