Mermay 2026 - Lori Valintine from Vackser Academy!

 

The lovely siren bimbo of Vackser Academy, Lori, as a mermaid!

Behold! In honor of Mermay this year, I present to you our lovely siren bimbo from Vackser Academy, Ms. Loriline Valintine! ❤️

I know, technically, she is a siren, and completely different from their mermaid brethren. But I thought I could draw this in honor of this one month we celebrate mermaids or fictional characters as mermaids, especially someone as sweet and kind as Lori. 😊

"Happy Mermay, Sweetness!" 🧜‍♀️ ❤️❤️❤️ 🧜‍♀️

Sugar, Spice, and Everything (not so) Nice! - The loss of a tough guy, a loving professor, and a purple haired ninja!

In the wake of Ted Turner's passing, three more people have been taken from us, these people are the ones who made our lives awesome through movies, cartoons and video games. Let's talk about it.

Tough guy character actor Donald Gibb passed away on May 12, 2026. He was 71 years old. In movies and television, he portrayed a toughie, either being a bodyguard or henchman to a villain or some random biker punk, but he is best known for his two iconic roles, as both Frederick “Ogre” Palowaski from the Revenge of the Nerds movies, and as Ray Jackson from the Jean-Claude Van Damme martial arts hit, Bloodsport. Gibb died from complications from throat cancer. Cancer, why it had to be cancer? At least, he is reunited with Robert Carradine aka Louis Skolnick.

Next, veteran voice actor, Tom Kane, has passed away on May 18, 2026. He was 64 years old. Kane was best known for such roles as Professor Utonium and HIM from The Powerpuff Girls, Magneto from Wolverine and the X-Men and in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mr. Herriman from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and as Yoda for most of the Star Wars franchise, specifically Star Wars: The Clone Wars, succeeding from Frank Oz. He died from complications from that stroke he got on November 2020. Those who knew him at the time of Powerpuff Girls and Foster's did tributes to him, especially Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong and E.G. Daily (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup) pay their respects to the man who gave the girls sugar, spice and everything nice (and with a side of Chemical X).

Finally, from the movies and animation to the world of gaming, specifically fighting games. Japanese voice actress Wakana Yamazaki passed away on April 18, 2026. He was 61 years old (and died too young). A voice actress who worked with Aoni Production, Yamazaki was best known for playing characters such as Ran Mouri from Detective Conan (Case Closed), the youngest Spectre Sister, Koan from the original Sailor Moon anime, and most of all, the purple-haired kunoichi, Ayane from the Dead or Alive series. She was getting some treatment for a chronic disease she was dealing with, but succumb to it when she died.

These three will truly be missed. At least, they made my childhood and my nostalgia last forever. Godspeed to these brave souls.

Billionaire Ted.....RIP!

The news struck the world like lightning on a sunny and cool day. Famous Billionaire Ted Turner, Former Owner of WCW, The Atlanta Braves, And The Turner Networks, has died. He was 87

Yeah, that's it. I'm Really no good with Eulogies. So, here's a bunch of things that Ted Turner was best known for: 

- Turner Broadcasting System (TBS): The Super Station! Turner's very first major venture.

- The Atlanta Braves: Billionaire Ted's Baseball Team.

- World Championship Wrestling (WCW): The Top Competitor to the World Wrestling Federation in the 80's and 90's.

- CNN: The 1st Ever 24 Hour News Network. It's trash now, but back in the day it was mostly fair. Home of Larry King Live! 

- Captain Planet: Many don't know this, but Turner was a Co-Creator of the Show itself. 

- Turner Network Television (TNT): Billionaire Ted's Secondary TV Network. Home of WCW Monday Nitro and other stuff.

- Cartoon Network: The 1st ever Network dedicated to Cartoons. CN is trash now, but from 1992 - 2005, this Network was Great.

- Turner Classic Movies (TCM): A Network dedicated to Classic Movies.       

In Early 1996, The WWF, who were in a rivalry with Turner's WCW, parodied Turner in their "Billionaire Ted" Skits. Turner found them amusing, according to Eric Bischoff.   

So.. Here's to you, Ted Turner and all of the great things that you've given to us. May you rest in peace.

Jason's Gallery - Delilah and Growlithe: Loyal Affection!

 

Despite having nightmare about her current predicament as a werewolf, our lovely Southern Belle is in good company with her newfound Growlithe companion, "Bark". This puppy Pokémon's licks are as strong as its strong flames within its heart, that will cut the darkness within Delilah. Keep on howlin'!

Here is this next wonderful fanart I have made with our lovely Southern Belle Delilah! Only this time, being a fan of Pokémon, I give her another loyal pet besides Barron and Duchess, and it's none other than the fire puppy, Growlithe. Just like my last two drawings, this one was inspired by the anecdote from the last Delilah and Pooch episode, "Comforting your Southern Belle after a Nightmare", regarding a dog named "Bark" in her stories about her past life with her family when they were alive (and Bark would be a cute name for Growlithe here 😊). And why did I pick Growlithe, you ask? Like any other pet, especially her cat, Barron, Growlithe is loyal to a fault, and a cute, cuddly mutt besides her beloved Pooch. I may not be a big Pokémon fan like Ash, but at least I got good taste, especially of knowing some Pokémon and their roles for their trainers, and so much more. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

Just hope her cat, Barron doesn't get jealous, though.

Shout out Ash (‪Sensory VA Audios‬), no relation to the other Ash, Ash Ketchum, that is! lol ❤️😊

Anime Jason Q&A Preview!

 

As my comeback continues, I need to get reacquainted with old friends like my buddy, Stefan here, and meet new friends on the way, so I decided to do a Q&A session. If you have any questions, especially on my hobbies, leave your questions at the comment session. However, I wrote down some rules and guidelines on your delivery of said questions on the aforementioned comments section, as well. Please respect them and follow them wisely. That being said, ask away. Once I have enough questions, I will answer in a follow-up. Until then, stay vigilant and stay frosty, my friends.

Saraba da (Farewell) for now! 

I LIVE!!! My comeback on YouTube!

 

Behold! My first video on YouTube in a long, long time. It is called "Front and Center Once More! Return of the Animation Crusader!", which chronicles my past experiences here on YouTube, from its early beginnings to the Viacom lawsuit in 2005 which deprive innocent users of their creative freedom regardless of Fair Use, and into my planned future in this as an aspiring artist, writer and voice actor, especially relying on other social media sites like DeviantArt and Discord, trying to be a part of the online community, especially supporting content creators like Sensory VA Audios, among others. I know one video won't give me lots of likes and comments, but like I said, this is just the beginning. Until next time, stay frosty, my friends!

Saraba da (Farewell), for now!

Remember that Word: Discipline! - Remembering James Tolkan

Attention Slackers!

Character actor James Tolkan has died on March 26th, 2026. He was 94 years old.

Tolkan, who we know him, as the small bald guy with a short fuse (and sometime armed with a shotgun), was best known for playing Mr. Strickland, along with his ancestor, Marshall James Strickland in the Back to the Future Trilogy and as CDR Tom "Stinger" Jardian from Top Gun, who reminds us that "our egos can't write checks our bodies can't cash". He also appeared in other movies like Dick Tracy, Problem Child 2, and as Detective Lubic in the live action Masters of the Universe movie.

Did I forget he wields a shotgun in the movies and in some shows, like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode "Day Damn One", in a dream sequence, when he took out a shotgun and shoots Will, after learning of the Alumni desk was ruined (but it was all a dream)?

Anyway, long story short, despite his curmudgeon attitude, at least he was hard on us, giving us "nickels worth" of free advice to better ourselves in the future. I hope what he taught us, in his own hardheaded, stubborn nature, has taught us slackers that we have full potential and we will press on, no matter how hard life can be.

Godspeed, Mr. Tolkan. And yes, we will remember that word...Discipline. Why do good people have to leave us while the slackers get away scot-free anyway? 

Here is Mr. Tolkan's profile on Wikipedia to know the rest of his life and career: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Tolkan
