Avatar doesn’t need a live action, neither does HOW TO TRAJN YOUR DRAGOK WJAT TJE FUCK-

The way I think about it is this: If a live action cannot improve, expand on, make more accessible, and/or complement the original animated version, it’s not necessary. If after watching the live action you STILL hold the original version in higher regard, the show didn’t need a live action. What will it bring to the story other than more money for a greedy corporation? Ok yes it might be nice to see a show you like in a different medium, but do we live in a bubble? Do we indulge and overindulge in the same stories over and over and over and never see anything original or unique or… risky?

Because I don’t know about you guys but I’ve been noticing a lot of live action remakes recently. And movies that don’t take many risks. And Star Wars.

Consider One Piece, which I think is a brilliant example of a live action doing everything it should do. Heck it made my mum love One Piece but she would NEVER watch the original anime; the anime is flawed, pandering, misogynistic (yes it’s one of the better shōnen anime for this, I know) in it’s objectification of women, ridiculous to the point that it only appeals to… anime fans, what more need I say? Whereas the live action is fun, goofy, touching and meaningful, boasts a huge pacing improvement and is accessible to a much wider audience to a far greater effect than a live action of the other two will achieve. It complements the original and even excels in many aspects.

Avatar and HTTYD function perfectly in their original medium. God I can’t stand that they’re being remade. WHY? It’s like Frankenstein. Remaking and remaking and always ALWAYS missing the point of the original text. Humanity is doomed-

Sorry that got deep.

Like can we get an adaptation of the Stormlight Archive?

If you adore these two shows and are just excited about it I’m happy for you, live your life, etc. I just don’t share the sentiment and feel that it represents something wrong with our attitude to storytelling and medium (and capitalism. It’s capitalism, guys. Ursula K. Le Guin tried to warn us-)

As always feel free to interact with this post but keep it friendly and respectful. If you can’t do that then DNI.

I drew all of my historical AU Sebs!!!!

In order they are(with relevant links to lore info if you are curious!!): Napoleonic Hussar Seb(x), Renaissance Muse Seb(x) and Boy King/Emperor Seb(x)

Let me know which you like best!!!

#oh my fucking god this was truly the endurance race of drawing sessions #i just drew for four hours straight or so......FUN! #and it is now almost 5 am on a school night so pls wish me luck in school haha #basically this spawned from me seeing if i could sketch all 3 of my Sebs easily and then whoops 4 hours later they are finished! #i think now i can draw the hussar uniform with my eyes closed. it was so comforting to draw honestly ;;;; #this is actually the first time ive drawn boy king seb with colors!! so i think it turned out pretty well? #hey guys do you notice what all of the Sebs have in common...? they all have a gold motif...GOLDEN BOY CODED!!! #anyways i think the most developed of these AUs is boy king seb which is funny bcs its the one ive created most recently #but gaahhhhhh ive done so much research and im literally brainrotting over it constantly #now i need to draw fernando in his 3 AUs hahaha but drwing Seb is sooooo much more easy/comfy for me #did you guys also notice i have a fondness for a specific seb hairstyle? malaysia 2010 my truly beloved youve served me so well #i mentioned this already but like i dont get how drawing these kinds of clothing is far more preferable to me than drawing racesuits #well anyways i have so much fun researching into these different eras!! and then very fun to mix it with the drivers #im very surprised i was able to draw this. im not usually able to draw good chibi anatomy #but like seriously i think i was posessed by my thoughts of boy king seb and i just couldnt stop drawing #in didnt really have any mental roadblocks which is surprising #but then again these drawings are me mixing my two major interests atm so ofc it'll come to me easily and make me passionate!! #anyways time to go sleep pwease dont let this flop my hands literally are overheated from drawing LMFAO #catie.art. #sebastian vettel #f1 #formula 1 #f1 fanart #formula 1 art #formula 1 fanart #f1 art #boy king au #renaissance muse au #hussar au

not many people online atm so i figured i’d show off theo’s freshly customized moles :) i'll post a proper close up of his face moles later because i'm obsessed, but for now here’s the full thing.

also this is how this background looks with the character page (this isn't the pic i'll be using, i was just testing things out). i'll probably alter the code to match the background rather than editing the background’s color, i think.

#the cas background was much closer to the page’s color before i turned my preset on </3 #river dipping #theodore doe #echthroi #ts4 #i might delete this later... we shall see #i just don't like posting theo when he's showing a lot of skin idk why... #ig it's bc i know how theo feels abt his body and everything so eyeeee am just like. everyone close your eyes. #but i want to show his moles off because they took me forever to place where i wanted #he has four!!! moles on his left palm that i love so bad and no one is ever gonna see them kjfdhnkfdjhn #i imagine matthias kisses theo's palm there all the time #…jotting this pose idea down expeditiously ✍️ #i’m laying down for bed now so hopefully i get at least four hours tonight 🧎 #also i only took test shots today while in cas so tomorrow i have to hop back in there to actually take the pics i want for the oc page #i want to do everyone’s but i just know i should just keep it simple with mattodore first #oh—also! downloaded a ton of clutter cc yesterday and today so i’m hoping i might actually get to that in-my-bag tag game soon #but yeah . . . nothing else to say and my eyes are watering from yawning so i’m going to sleep 🚶 #everyone watch over theo for me while i sleep 🔫 #gn!!!! <3

[PRIVATE BROADCAST: 1 Anonymous participant (BC, NS)]

BC: With all the talk about your work on finding the solution NS, I would want to ask-

BC: What research do you conduct? What recent iterations have you completed?

BC: I seem to find another that still has not given up on the problem. I am one of those too.

BC: Personally, I specialize more in simulations. How about you?

I’ve always tried to partake in a little bit of everything. I create programs, run simulations…and yet, my main area of expertise have always been calculations. Not objective, tangible ones, no—theoretical. Math that exists in a hypothetical state. While it might sound…paradoxical, I suppose, considering my stance on such subjects, calculating the statistical possibilities of certain events happening has always been my biggest focus.

…I understand that might not be fully getting the point across. Now, allow me to try and reimagine this in clearer terms: my research centers around alternate universes. Around their possible existence, of course, along with if it is plausible to somehow travel to said universes; along with the nature of the Cycle—if it is, perhaps, a pocket dimension of its own, duplicating in on itself, and particularly if it even exists as a concept in other universes. If it doesn’t, perhaps that might’ve been the Answer this whole time—if, somehow, there was a feasible way to transmit oneself to a universe such as that…well. That would’ve been it.

...But, as you can clearly see, I am still just standing here, unable to provide you with a proper answer—despite all my time and effort, as much as I loathe to admit it, my research has been rather futile. It has lead me nowhere—universes, the Cycle…it’s just dead-end after dead-end. Perhaps it is because I’ve never been one for entertaining pointless mind exercises such as these, but once upon a time even I had some hope for a project like this to—

…

Apologies. I shouldn’t bring my own personal feelings into this, even if the lack of concrete results is very frustrating. However, has left me no choice but to continue my endeavors, no matter how tired of this back-and-forth I’ve become.

#diversity win! the overworked bitch of an iterator is a disillusioned quantum physicist who doesn’t even enjoy their job anymore #anyway. hopefully most of this makes sense but if it doesn’t Pls pretend it does. it is 1am and also i am not smart #my understanding of quantum multiverse type shit hinges on undertale fanfiction and spiderverse #junji ito was right btw artists should go to sleep so they can get good ideas #it’s just so good to me. a character constantly haunted by what-ifs and hypotheticals and what-could-have-beens #being forced to center his work around these concepts. but it never lead him anywhere #it never saved him #(closes my eyes forever) #needless separation is here

try not to think about how gerri's face journey after roman asks her if she can believe he is as good as his dad is pretty similar to roman's face journey after logan asks him why he sent gerri a picture of his dick

#was gonna gif how similar they are (the open mouth gaping/the avoiding eye contact/THE WAY THEY CLOSE THEIR MOUTHS/the little shrugs!!!) #but i am too tired and my photoshop has been bugging me #anyway they're the same because why? they're incapable of convincingly lying in those moments w/o revealing their true feelings! SICKNESS!! #succession spoilers #roman x gerri #okay probably signing off now my sleep schedule is so so bad rn and this is not going to help 🫠

I really wanna fix some of my clothes that have a seam that opened. But my eyes are very very tired and hand sewing is not a thing I can do with my eyes closed.

#Unlike typing which i can do mostly with my eyes closed even on my phone #I am way too awake to nap or sleep. So I'm mostly just laying in bed with my eyes closed #Thinking about what stuff I have to hand sew and what stuff I wanna use my darning loom.for and #Also about what groceries to go buy tomorrow. I think I'll splurge and buy myself some juice and cookies

drew my new kitten as a “warmup” but have to stop here because shes being a rascal

#her name at the shelter was pog btw. like the game but now her full name is cricket pogchamp #cat #cricket #pets #artists on tumblr #drew some blue in her eyes. bad at picking colors from irl that much but shes got a very small blue ring in there still #though shes close to having her regular eyes. i think they will be yellow? #i love her but whew cant wait til shes big......... will probably update what she looks like #tried to make her look deliberately worried with her whiskers btw. she seems sad but she was abnormally snuggly on day 1 #she cried in the carrier and hid under my drawer for like 5 minutes then instantly got to exploring and 1 hour in she showed her belly #which. im a first time cat owner but im told thats absolutely insane for a kitten on day 1 #shes already sleeping on me and stuff and snuggling next to me.... playing w her is the hard part bc lack of energy #idk if itll ever be enough for her but i am trying! i want her to be happy. also i think rn she mostly likes me when im sitting #otherwise she darts away when i walk around. i think bc im like this weird giant to her #oh also shes apparently just tiny? bc her mom was small too so she'll probably grow up to be a small cat #everyones going on abt how my aunts cats were bigger at her age sdklfjsdlfds (8 weeks almost 9!)

stayed up super late last night with friends doing halloween stuff (getting drunk and spilling tea) knowing full well that i had to get up early today to go to a quince out of town . i am awake against my will and regretting many decisions

#peach rambles #not staying up late and getting drunk. Let me be clear. that is my natural habitat #i regret rsvping for this quince that happens halloween weekend which just so happens to apparently be the busiest weekend of my goddamn #life. im exhausted from a week’s worth of lack of sleep and i am also no where near done with three of my monday deadlines #and i am losing an entire day (?) of work to this quince. #also it’s halloween weekend i should be getting drunk and looking hot😭😭😭😭 #instead i am in the passenger seat of my father’s truck attempting to pretend i am alive #he called me this morning to say how far away he was from my house #but i missed the call because i kept on pressing snooze because. Obvious Reasons. and when i saw that he called #i called him back and he was like ‘im ten minutes from your house’ bitch i hadn’t even packed for the night yet. i was still fully in bed #i feel like if i close my eyes for too long im going to have a category five sleep incident. whatever that means #i think i forgot to pack a bra? fucking. i don’t know #i brought my computer so that i could possibly work but there’s absolutely no charger to speak of in #this vicinity. fuck. and uhhhhh i look like death but the only makeup i have is a singular eyebrow pencil #and the remnants of my eyeliner from last night. also the fake blood still in my fingernails #speaking of fake blood i bloodied my shit up for real last night which was very high risk high reward for me #the blood was four bucks from walmart and said that it stained skin and i was like #what a perfect product to cover my face and body in the day before i go to a family function #it ended up working out because i looked fucking good and i took a shower before i went to sleep #(did NOT check how i looked before i went to bed so this morning when i looked in the mirror and say i was blood-free it was a miracle) #but anyway. yeah. i want to pass out

[robinsnest2111]

cool, the second i'm not blasting my brain with 3 different kinds of sensory input, i'm haunted by images

#I DO NOT WANT TO BE TRAUMATISED BY THIS BUT IT SEEMS THAT I FUCKING AM!!!!!! SHIT #gotta work in a couple hours so i need to sleep BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE I'M HAUNTED BY IMAGES AS SOON AS I CLOSE MY EYES #that's it earphones go back in. blasting my brain with asmr videos until i pass out #idc about the potential risk of getting strangled by the cord. i just need to SLEEP ASAP
