some of the weirdo shit on Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon is definitely to blame for <gestures to the way i am now>
- Invader Zim
- Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (or Grim & Evil for the real old heads)
- Courage the Cowardly Dog (h/t riotgrrrl for setting me straight)
- Ed, Edd, n Eddy
- Ahhhh! Real Monsters
- Angry Beavers
- honorable mention to Ren and Stimpy which was so weird, we were technically banned from watching it

I've never watched unknown side effects specifically but it looks like similar vibes to Carol at the end of the world which made me cry about as much as midnight gospel could. superjail has always reminded me of the whacked out vibes of Pendleton ward's stuff, animation is cool, just a bit raunchy and out there - still a cult classic and you can have fun with it. I think the closest thing I can recommend that I've watched is smiling friends - again a bit more raunchy sometimes but not as bad as superjail and gets less deep than midnight gospel. just really dumb fun. If you like smiling friends maybe yolo: crystal fantasy but I didn't watch a lot of that just remember thinking the pilot was pretty fun.
also obviously I could say some studio ghibli, especially howls moving castle, but stylistically/tone wise I know it's different. but it definitely reminds me of the vibe of Pendleton wards work just a little differently, a great chill movie though
also if you've never watched regular show, do that

Gumby was my favorite show as a teenager. Yes a teenager. I found the entire series on YouTube and watched all of it. It’s so well done and the plots are insane. In my favorite episode Gumby and Pokie, his other clay friend that is also a horse, decide to bake a pie. Before they can even start one of the pies starts talking to him and says “come on in” so they go into the oven. They discover a pie making factory inside the oven. They learn how pies are made and then the pies turn on them. It’s a wild story and my favorite quote is “the dough needs the dough?” “No it KNEADS it.” All the episodes are strange like that. And he has more clay friends that do crazy stuff — I’m telling you this show is like nothing else.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
