resolved Flash webcomic with a character named Mr. Inverted Webcomic
I know someone who REALLY likes a character named Mr. Ivan Inverted, a white humanoid Sharp-Dressed Man. However, for some reason she won’t tell me where he is from. All I know is that he’s from a (old?) flash webcomic/animation (probably combining both flash and webcomic, similar to Homestuck). There’s also a pissed off looking girl wearing a cloak with blond hair and green eyes who Inverted teleports somewhere. The art style and animation is rather crude, looks like it was made in the late 90’s/early 00’s and the person told me the comic was “pretty much lost media”. Any help would be appreciated, maybe it’s somewhere deep in the webcomics index but I don’t know the name of the comic.
Edited by MochaSlushesresolved Animated fairytale movie about the seasons
I was trying to find an old animated movie that I saw once a long time ago. The basic story was that there was a princess or young queen who was dead set on having a bouquet of snowdrops and declared that the New Year's celebration would be put off until she got it, and also she would execute one person a day until she got it, which was an issue because January was only starting and snowdrops don't grow until March. In the end the issue was solved when someone I don't remember found the personifications of the months and convinced them to bring the growing season a little early.
Ring any bells?
resolved Pokemon fan manga? Thing? Idk Webcomic
Not actually a webcomic but didn't know what other category to put it under. I know for sure it has a page here, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called or which namespace it fell under. I know it was a Japanese Pokemon fan comic that adapted FireRed and LeafGreen, I think it called Leaf Blue, and it had Blue/Green's Raticate die to poison holding off Team Rocket.
resolved Book Series About Boy Band Literature
There is this TERRIBLE book series that I was obsessed with as a young teen and I have been hit with a sudden nostalgia for it, unfortunately I used to like pirate the books online so I have no physical copies. The first one is about a girl who is in college, she's kind of a lone, makes friends with two girls who are obsessed with this boy band, mc reveals she is childhood friends with said boy band but she has since fallen out of touch with them. They all go to a concert and she reunites with the band and subsequently falls in love with lead singer. The rest of the series is just about the other boys in the band falling in love with the friends and then like other random women who come onto the scene. Hope someone remembers it because I can't find it ANYWHERE
EDIT to add more details I remember: I'm pretty sure all the books are multiple PO Vs (or maybe just two; the featured boy band member and their love interest).
SECOND EDIT: I FOUND IT!! the series is called ransom :DDD
Edited by ditzykittenresolved A song from the 80s about a guy scared of a monster Music
A few months ago, I was riding in my friend's car when a song came onto a radio station that only plays sons from The '80s that really stuck with me that I unfortunately can't remember the name of. It's basically about this one guy who thinks about a monster and is worried about it coming for him, so he calls his friend to tell them about it, only to hear them get eaten by the monster over the phone.
resolved Sick town origin story Anime
I remember this episode of an anime I caught while channel surfing, the main gist of it is that this pair of guys are trying to help the children of a town be cured of their illness, at one point trying to steal medicine (they get caught but a friend of theirs managed to get the medicine anyway). So the town gets the medicine, but a bunch of the kids sold their medicine so their parents could have food to eat. Pretty much all the kids die, I think the girl who helped them get the medicine also died? And one of the guys breaks because of this. By the end of the episode it was all a flashback and the guy who broke, now an antagonist (?) visits the other guy who was at the graveyard where all the kids and the girl are.
resolved Final Fantasy Series Anime with a frog episode Anime
I remember watching this episode of a Final Fantasy Series, where one character somehow got turned into a frog and needed a kiss to turn back to normal and warn the others of the ship. He managed to turn back to normal after narrowly avoiding getting eaten by a lady who wanted to eat him as a frog.
resolved japanese (?) comic about a hired killer (??)
i saw an excerpt from this reposted on social media so i have no idea if it was a manga, or a webcomic, or something even shorter-form. it was originally in what i think i remember being japanese but had an official english translation. the main character was being paid to kill people & felt guilty about it but they always had some kind of a party afterwards and stopped feeling guilty (?) but what i most remember is a panel where they said "nope nope antelope!" and there was a little (non-diegetic) cartoon of an antelope behind them. in the original language they said "nope nope snail" (which rhymed) with a drawing of a snail, & the artist redrew it for the illustration

resolved No it not Treasure planet nor Titan A.E
Maybe Unimportant/completely wrong detail that really doesn't narrows it down: •It's an animated movie with like a game graphics •Mc a boy teen/young adult ,theres side character a gal and a engineer of sum sort of space ship •It futuretic and it got flying spaceship ,and I think the setting is where planet explode •Theres an uncle involved •It animorfic where it human build but got tails/ears and such.
Key to the answer •They get suck into a black hole partly at the end but escape using scapes of ship ckuncks. •While writing this I think the movie is a ripoff/inspired of Treasure planet so maybe after treasure planet was released
Beginning •Mc is shown to be living in lower class(they live in chunk island), he don't got no parent(for now). •Mc goes to his crew and finds out they got a new/improve spaceship and then sum happened that involve him wanting to go to upperclassmen planet.
Middle/End •Mc find parent who are actually the ruler of upperclassmen planet. •The Mc parents are in prison
resolved Video Game with a puzzle involving placing toy in a logical way
I used to play this game in about 2019-2015 (though the game is probably older than that). The only thing I remember about it now is there was a logic puzzle involving placing toy so that their position matches up with the riddle. One of the toy I remember be a rocking wooden horse, another a doll. The puzzle is only a very small part of the game.
I think it has a fantasy theme. Maybe an adventure game. Not sure if it was a Harry Potter game or not. Maybe even horror though I don't think it is since I wasn't scared playing it back then.
The visual is clear, typical for a PC game of that time (2000-2010).
I don't remember if it was first person or not.
Edited by LucasdaKoolresolved I won't do it, I won't, I won't, I wont!
I have this scene in my head of a Manchild throwing some tantrum, saying "I won't do it, I won't, I won't, I won't!" I think they were also slamming something or stomping. Likely live action. I know there's a similar scene in an old Doctor Who episode, but it's not that scene; that's the scene that reminded me of the one I'm actually looking for.
It's likely some kid's show or something, but it's escaping me.
resolved Has a scene where MC critique prop zombie by pulling it up off the grave but it actually real
I don't remember why the dad went to horror park but he depressed/overwork so he goes there after dropping off his daughter in preschool. He critique how boring and non scary the theme parks is then the scene happen when he rode the roller coaster that shows a graveyard with zombies popping out of tomb he say it obvious fake and pops off a zombie joint ,the zombie react ,he get spooked and dies.He gets told that every zombie puppet he saw are actual zombie. Freaks out cause he don't believe in what he's being told or maybe he does a little idk. Oh and he's now a demon and has red skin
The daughter got put into a orphanage, and the caregiver is an old mean lady. No mom which is where there a sub plot romance of MC getting with a high status demon woman, who I can't remember if she's the fiance of the current boss or daughter.
Mc hear something about daughter and want to leave to see daughter,high status woman agrees and tries helping. There's a scene where he rides a motorcycle dk
Edited by Phoishyresolved That one Sesame Street segment with the void face Live Action TV
I think there was one segment from the puppet show Sesame Street that was about a puppet consisting of a pair of white eyes and mouth talking into the camera. Their face looked kind of like my OC Elias
◊, except with no green star on their forehead. Does anybody remember the name of the character and what Sesame Street segment this was from? I can't quite recall it.
resolved Visual novel where you play as a princess with a lot of ways to die Videogame
it had an anime-esque art style and the death scenes had a chibi art style. i remember there was a video on youtube of somebody playing it and the thumbnail was one of the death scenes
resolved horror short story Literature
I've read this story somewhere on the internet. It's about a family who lives in a neighborhood where everything is normal, except during the night, everybody has to be inside their house and nobody is allowed to look outside. The main character is a kid and has a little sister. One day, their newly moved neighbor kid goes to play, and invites them disobey the rules and look at what's outside during the night. Despite the main character's efforts, the neighbor kid eventually looks outside the window at night and whatever he saw left him unable to speak. His family then moved again the next day.
resolved 2 manga Anime
As the title suggest I'm looking for 2 manga.
The first one is about an mc who is given control over the worst part of a kingdom/empire and just wants to live as comfortably as possible. Since he is worried about an uprising he uses his healing magic (which I think only nobles have) on the populace and ends up being mistaken as the chosen hero who will lead the commoners and overthrow the corrupt nobles despite another character actually fitting the ideal better
The other one is an isekai. 2 kids get sent to a different world where one of them ends up with incredibly strong fire powers by imagining gas exploding instead of the normal burning wood others think off when using fire magic

It's a children's picture book, but the main character is an adult male. I believe he's a teacher and I think he and the other characters are anthropomorphic animals of some sort, though I wouldn't 100% swear to that. If I had to guess, I wouldn't say it was a very old book either, probably no earlier than the 90s at the earliest. In the story, the character is newly in a wheelchair and somewhat depressed and out of sorts. With help from his students, friends and family, he gets back into his normal routine. Sound familiar to anyone?
