You might have seen the janky MK.I from about 12 hours ago. Well, I played Ace Combat 8 with it and it sucked balls so after taking out the cargo ships and UAV's at the Space Elevator, I started work on the MK.II.

For the "rail" the handle slides on, I've improved it so that it doesn't pop out randomly anymore and just overall a lot more sturdy. The wire now sits deeper in the stick's actual throttle slider thing and connects to the popsicle sticks at a higher place so it's a lot more even. For the handle itself, I'm gonna forgo the handle for now, and just stick to the stick design because the plastic bottle was kinda clunky and not very stable, I might get foam clay or something to mold and sculpt a full handle but for now, this is the finished MK.II Prototype.

For the name, I'm just gonna call this "Project Rocket Pop".

I know this sucks compared to an actual throttle but I'm broke and don't own a 3D printer.

Edit: I made a few adjustments, the metal wire doesn't pop out as much anymore. I also posted a test flight video on TikTok

Edit 2: MK.II

The characters spend one or more episodes playing out a game, usually D&D or a parody of it.

-Ted, featuring Brennan Lee Mulligan.

-Voltron: Legendary Defender

-Gravity Falls

-Community, they did this twice but the first one's infamous for Ken Jeong's character, Chang, doing blackface.

-Komi Can't Communicate, the example using a different game. They spend a few chapters playing Among Us.

When the characters acknowledge what is usually just an animation/art gag.

Komi Can't Communicate - Komi has a tendency to grow cat ears when she feels strong emotions. She acknowledges them in one chapter.

Phineas and Ferb, Act Your Age - In the episode Act Your Age, Baljeet comments that Isabella's eyes actually physically turn into hearts.

Charles Boyle, Brooklyn Nine-Nine - In the second Jimmy Jabs episode, he has a wardrobe malfunction and Jake and Amy comment that he "really is the greatest showman".

Captain Boomerang, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League - Boomer goes to pee on the Flash's corpse and his teammates remark that he's "gifted", Harley even salutes it.

Me, IRL - I have a huge hog.

Celebrity voice acting cameos that kinda make you (me) go "What? Why? How?". Like, it's not that big of a moment, they just pop up randomly.

Cliffjumper (Transformers Prime) - Voiced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, he appears in the first episode and dies. He doesn't appear for the rest of the show other than being a zombie.

Sugilite (Steven Universe) - Voiced by Nicki Minaj. Despite the show being a musical, they didn't have enough budget to get her to sing. They got a celebrity singer into a musical to NOT let her sing. Sugilite appears again in later episodes but has no lines.

Flash vs Savitar, The Flash- Savitar is a future, evil version of the Flash and moves so fast, it's practically instantaneous and uses this to beat the fuck out of Flash.

Kyoya vs Hakurou, Slime Isekai- Kyoya has "Thought Acceleration" which basically gives him super speed. In their rematch, he gets decapitated by Hakurou who has the same ability but faster.

Darwin Watterson, The Amazing World of Gumball- Consistently voiced by black actors and featured in BHM posts by CN or otherwise posts celebrating african-american people and culture.

Marceline, Adventure Time- Kinda stretching the "non-human" part but she's voiced by Olivia Olson, a black woman, shown to have a black mother, and Marshall Lee, her genderbent human counterpart, is black.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- This one's a bit of a stretch but I often see people interpreting them as black or black-coded and in the TMNT/Power Rangers crossover comic, Donnie creates a holographic disguise for all of them and they're all black.

Edit: I see people posting Piccolo a lot but I meant characters who have been recognized as black in some official capacity.

Edit 2: I feel like I gotta be specific, these are characters who have been OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED as black.
