talking about my Bart Simpson reads as a queer kid for seasons 2-9 theory (Very bugs bunny, loves show biz, anarchist streak and comradiere with outsiders) and realized if they aged from the premire episode Bart would be 41 now and wondering which of my young Xer pals are Bart.

Lisa is like, my age. She is 100% on the steering committee of a local chaoter.

My hot take is is that Martin is 100% heterosexual, all the prissy straight guys I knew in theatre where like that.

“prissy” is not a knock, mind you, my idealize embodiment is Dr. Chilton from the NBC Hannibal series who is queer prissiness fulfilled

Actively trying not write a spec script about Springfield DSA with everyine being the age they would be if progressed from 1989

...flip the expectations, Bart is the one who leaves home to a drifting, activist “art” life in Capital city. Lisa stays close to home, heavily invovled in local politics. Maggie either vanished as soon as she hit 18 or is podcasting from the basement as we speak.

the fun thing is the “Mom, video phone” gag from the future episode still works

Bart has 100% been part of a largely puppet based action. He has said the word “culturejamming” unironically. He has lived on several cooperative farms that failed to thrive.

Use the Bart/Lisa divide to describe younger Xer/Older Millenial dynamics we need to form our own structures/we need to take power in existing ones while hier younger sister is getting top Patreon subs from her Maoist memes

Milhouse has gone full reactionary-divorced dad Facebook person suoer into lifting and race science to explain why the family courts fucked him. He is on so many roids.

Martin changed her name to Belinda a while back. She’s a cooperate laywer in Capital City and hasn’t been to Springfield in decades. Nelson runs one of the few profitable and dubiously legal chop shops in town. Ralph is the mayor, somehow.

Monty Burns is still alive cause Kissinger is still alive ..but he’s never seen in public and Smithers is his mouthpiece, strong Baby Jane vibes.

Krusty has pivoted to Conservstive Comedy Cruises

The lynchpin is, in this family of middle class dreamers, activists, artists, etc, the most revolutionary, the most willing to go hard, the most radical

Is Marge.

Marge, who raised a family, who is an artist not afriad to depict power as decrepit, who sleeps nude and speaks french and had terrible sisters, and thinks Homer is the nicest person she ever met and always gets the best jokes, is the godamned vanguard.

The Springfield Occupation is by a 61 year old housewife with blue hair.

Jessica Lovejoy is a conservative thot, like she’s on Fox News.

Hank Scorpio in the background doing like WeWork shit

The dues Ex machia can be Maggie’s 2 million youtube followers coming to the fore
