openInspector Gadget site Web Original
Does anyone remember a Inspector Gadget site that mentioned a planned Continuity Reboot that was Darker and Edgier and later turned out to be a fan hoax?
I only vaguely remember this but can't remember all the details, let alone the title.
All I can remember was it was out around 2009-2010.
openText-based forum-hosted interactive fiction story about Greek Gods Web Original
So I vaguely remember reading a forum-based interactive fiction story about a group of young men and women who wake up in a prison. They can't remember who they are or how they got there, but they know their names. And their names are all from Greek mythology. And they all had some sort of power related to their name.
I know that, of the main cast in that story, there was a Thanatos who was a big, gentle and kind-hearted dude. An Atropos existed too. There was an Athena who was the protagonist of the story's sequel.
I cannot remember what this thing is, for the life of me, and it'll bother me to the rest of my days if I don't get its name so I can read it again.
openHarry Potter YTP? Web Original
I'm trying to find a Harry Potter YouTube Poop that I can't remember very well. The only thing I remember concretely is a scene from Goblet of Fire being remixed to have Dumbledore shout "I LOVE BEER!" after stuttering. Does anybody know this YTP?
openThis Youtube video about a halloween special of Super Smash Flash 2 Web Original
I remember watching this as a kid, So the video wasn't actually made by the SSF 2 team, the creators of the video used old sprites of the characters. all i remember from it is Mario walking up a haunted house, and a bunch in another room I believe the video is Spanish, if not, then it's english.
openPower Rangers Team up fanfic Web Original
There’s this Power Ranger fic where Dino Thunder teams up with several other Ranger Teams including an OC team. Trent the White Dino Ranger dies cause the author doesn’t know how to write him or something. One Ranger ends up in Super Sentai universe where he meets the Gokaigers. The Timerangers apparently gave Gokai Silver something so the Gokaigers would know about future teams.
open"It has chosen to impliment psychological warfare by cutting it's own head off repeatedly" Web Original
Not a lot to go on because I can only remember one thing. But it was a live action TV show or web original with sci fi elements. The bit I remember barely is one of the main characters is watching a creature they have trapped and the character (an anxious man) is reporting back on it's capture, saying something like "It has chosen to implement psychological warfare by repeatedly cutting off it's own head to intimidate me" or something similar. I have no idea about anything else besides the fact that it has very good, modern, witty wordplay, and I found this bit VERY funny. Thanks if you know what the hell I am talking about
open[SOLVED!] Animation hosting site Web Original
I remember signing up for an animation hosting website. I forgot the name and the names of the series on there. It was a website where you could add your independent animated web-series and upload episodes to the site. The website also had a live stream for episodes of series. It was just a webcomic hosting site except for animators.
Edit: It was NOT Newgrounds. The layout seemed more like Netflix or Hulu.
EDIT: Never mind. I found it!
It matched most of the descriptions I gave.
openMale animation youtuber? Web Original
Anyone here know an animator youtuber that made a video on overly pc people? I remember part of the video where he opened a door for a lady and the lady used the other side of the door and said 'I dont need a man to help' all dramatic like. Thanks in advance.
Edited by GloryAndCatsopenGuy enters a world of his dad's puppets Web Original
This was a show that was online, either hulu or youtube or something like that, it was short and only had a few episodes. the episodes were short. the son enters his dads puppet workshop after his dad dies and discovers a door that leads to a world filled with all the puppets that his dad created. the show ends with the son deciding to make puppets for a living and quitting his job
opensome sort of show Web Original
I remember watching this cartoon about a yellow, shaggy haired boy, with shiny blue eyes, and a blue-green outfit, who looked somewhat like beaker if he fused with tweek , as a child sometime in 2011 online. I swear one of the mario characters was in it. The only part I remember is one where I think he was singing about something related to dinosaurs, or something, and i'm pretty sure it has its own page on this site.
Once, when I was little, I saw this show on treehouse with a lady, and a raccoon puppet, making crafts out of things like, cups, paper, and other things you'd find around your house. I think at one point, there was a tiger.
Edited by cake64openWebsite analyzing X-Files fanon? Web Original
It was this website that I thought was called Infrequently Asked Questions but I've googled that name heaps of times and not found anything relevant. It was taking a bunch of things that come up in Fan Works related to The X-Files and seeing if they gelled with Canon. Examples of text:
Q: Mulder home-nurses Scully when she's unwell?': A: Unlikely. Scully usually nurses herself unless it's serious enough to warrant a hospital visit.'' Q: Mulder phones Scully in the middle of the night? A: This is not likely to be a regular occurrence. When Muldre phoned Scully at nighttime in one episode, she seemed surprised that he was calling. Q: Mulder is a terrible shot?: ''A: Actually, Mulder is a great shot. He sleeps with his gun under his pillow, but then again, he wouldn't be Muldre if he didn't do that.\
openYoutube Animation about RPG Style Adventurers? Web Original
I remember I found this really funny animation on youtube which took place in an RPG style world. It was about these heroes for hire. There was a nerdy mage I think, an edge lord kind of guy maybe, and also a fighter who had two moms apparently. The only job they could find, however, was from this sort of valley girl type person i think? And they had to get her cat out of a tree, I'm fairly certain. Then they end up meeting this girl who's also a fighter type character. She wants to join, but they don't want another fighter. That's all I remember from there. I also remember it being really funny I guess. But that's subjective. I just liked it more than some other rpg based youtube animations, and I wanna see if the series was ever continued. It came out around 2015-16 or something

Edited by Karda4124open"Trauma meme" entry Web Original
Months ago, a friend showed me a video of the "trauma" art/animation meme on You Tube. It had a priest-looking guy in it, who turned into an Eldritch Abomination at some point of the video. Just now, at the time of this writing, I looked up the site for the entry but failed. Anybody can provide a link?
Edited by ActualBeatriceopenHappy Tree Friends-like Webcartoon Web Original
Sometimes when i'm looking for a show to watch on Youtube, I get a random memory from when i was about 5 where i was on Vimeo or some other video-sharing site, i found a Happy Tree Friends-like webcartoon that stars stuffed animals or plushies (I think, I don't remember seeing much blood) getting murdered or killed, and in the next episode they're alive again (Similar to HTF). I remember about 2 episodes, In one episode, One of the characters was trying to push another character off the building into a pair of scissors, But accidentally slips and falls into the scissors him/herself. In another, A group of characters were watching a train go round and round the tracks, But soon the train stops. One of the Characters go to start the train back up again and then accidentally gets run-over by it, The other characters don't care and continue to watch the train go round and round again.
I hope you guys can help me find this show, I would be interested in watching this again.
openPseudo-fifties post-apocalypse Web Original
There was a web story where After the End there was a sort of safe Haven which was very Fifties with a breeding program, (Husbands have multiple wives and go to each family for a week at a time) and being super-racist (one of the characters has a Dark Secret of having Asian ancestry/heritage) POV was two teenagers 1 boy and 1 girl getting ready for the tests for their Bureaucratically Arranged Marriages.
Anyone recognize it?
openhungry girlfriend Web Original
This was an animated web video (I presume Flash) from the late 90s. It was a dude and his girlfriend, arguing about where to go for food. The girlfriend kept saying "I'm hungry" but didn't want to go to any of the food emporiums suggested by the dude. The only line I remember is "Ewwww I don't want Backyard Burger."
openPowerpuff Girls fanfic Web Original
Does anyone know what PPG fanfic this Middle Child Syndrome example references?
- One The Powerpuff Girls Fanfic offered an alternate interpretation. Rather than making Blossom the Eldest, she was the Middle Child, and her acting more mature and claiming of the leader role was her attempt to compensate for her fear of being overlooked. Buttercup was the Youngest, and her extreme attitude was her way of rebelling against any notion of labeling her the 'baby', and Bubbles was the Eldest and simply didn't care about whatever role she 'should' fill, given that all the girls were extremely young anyway and her sisters were more willing to fill those stereotypes.
openPokemon Fan Thing Made With Plush Dolls Web Original
Many years ago, on You Tube, there was this ongoing series that was called something like "Adventures of the Pokemon" or something. It had terrible production quality (literally being footage of plush dolls) but it was freaking hilarious. A few characters and gags included a Lugia with a pet rock, best friends Pikachu and Charmander, two other Pikachus (one with a bow and one with a scarf,) a Mew with a hypnotizing doo-dad, a Mewtwo with a split personality where one half was normal and the other was a hypnosis-induced moron who was literally "the dumbest person in the world," a Lucario who thought he was Spiderman (and who was hypnotized to think he was his son Riolu, and vice versa, and a Turtwig who was the mayor. I remember it being made by a speedpainter and I think s/he was called Eevee 2 Espeon, but You Tube's search function is terribad.
openWebcomic/writing dos and dont's blog Web Original
This was an interesting blog and a good read I discovered a few months ago, but I no longer know how to find it or what it was called. Each post was dedicated to a particular "lesson" using a particular webcomic as a case study, like one about stuffy, unrelatable dialogue zeroing in on a comic focused on uninteresting wealthy characters with ostentatious vocabularies. I don't believe art was the focus of many of the posts. Otherwise, I don't have much else memory, but I'm fairly certain it was an independent blog not hosted on a larger site.

I may have found it via Pointless Sites
or Explorable Explanations
. It was a minimalistic artstyle animation (no shading, lineless, clean shapes) detailing a person's real experience with this sort of soda that flavored itself with the cap, if I remember right, or it just depended on how you opened it.
EDIT: If you know the name of the soda, that might help me find the animation.
