Tumblr media
Re: Sugarbaby!Sans x Reader fic
Eventuallyyy.... I don't really have more than a concept right now but goddd it's been bouncing around up here since even before I started mbb(tm)
--- here's something... warning: alcohol, bar setting, monster discrimination / mentions of past harassment, suggestive themes, promiscuity in place of therapy ---
Sans hated going to human bars.
He's a novelty there; a gimmick. Most of them just stare and whisper behind his back. Those who actually have the spine to approach him usually don't care about keeping up a decent conversation. It's demoralizing and offensive, especially when they have their phones out to take pictures or record him doing fuck all.
He really should have thought of that before taking a seat at the bar and downing a few too many shots, but he also wasn't in the mood to do much thinking at the moment.
Grillby knew he was trying to get sober. He was well-known at Grillby's in general, so if he even touched the stuff, somehow that information would make it all the way back to his brother, whether he wanted it to or not.
Paps is gonna be so disappointed in him when he gets back to the apartment, reeking cheap booze and cheaper perfume. Again.
Sans looks around the room for something fun. Something interesting. Something dangerous.
A human in a styled white button-up and black pants peers back at him. They wear a black harness around their waist as an accessory, and Sans is curious, but ultimately, they weren't his type.
He picks through the crowd, trying not to make his assessments of them obviously linger. He spots a fun one- more his size, cute, an adorable little giggle he can pick up even from across the room. Maybe if he makes them laugh, he can convince them to join him somewhere more private. Here's hoping Giggles' got a weird kink thing for skeleton monsters.
Just as Sans gets up from his stool, sights trained on his target for the night, he's approached by the first human he considered.
They're taller than he thought now that he was seeing them up close. Sans glances up for a second, trying not to be rude as he tries to keep track of Giggles at the same time.
"Hey."
"Heya," Sans nods politely. He immediately regrets the motion as his eye lights wobble in their sockets. He tries to step past, but this human has other plans.
"Wait- you're really cute. I was wondering if I could buy you another drink?" They say quickly, gesturing towards his empty glass.
Sans winces. "Thanks, but no thanks. I've had my fill for the night."
They look a bit disappointed at first, but cover it up with a lopsided smile. "Really? Here I was thinking all that alcohol was going right through you."
Sans grins. Maybe they were more his type than he figured. He gives them another once over before turning his full attention on them.
"Nah," he says easily, nodding towards the bar. "I'm a bit of a lightweight. Now that you mention, it probably would help if I had some-body- to drink with."
They light up, and lead Sans back to his seat.
"Happy to oblige. Call me Wyenne."
"Sans."
You take a seat next the stocky skeleton monster and flag the bartender over. It's not often you see this monster around, but as the only skeleton on your side of town, he was hard to forget. You've finally got the guts (heh) to get up and just talk to him.
Tonight, you were fully planning on scratching an itch; you were curious about him, and he seemed to be looking for a distraction. The perfect setup for a single night of experimental fun.
It was only supposed to be one night.

Yandere...wyenne...wirh with withhh Trickster...
I know,, you said disregard this but like,, IMAGINE...
-----•
Wyenne, a beautiful young lady with a penchant for rejecting any and all kinds of proposals. Most of which are confessions, but asking to be friends is part of it too. She's the one doing the rejecting here! Not to mention her fair share of stalkers in the first place... Poor Wyenne can't even count how many times she found herself in the start of a reverse-harem anime..!
So to find that she's fallen hard over— Ah, nevermind. It seems that she's in denial. Wyenne has absolutely no interest in anyone, let alone someone as clingy and... touchy... and... beautif— Snap out of it! She doesn't have feelings for anyone, especially somebody like Trickster.
Yet... This...? Why is her heart always so loud when Trickster's next to her? She's always distracted... thinking solely of the green-haired individual. Wyenne finds herself craving being around Trickster a lot. She feels... a lot softer too, like frozen chocolate melting at the touch. I mean, Wyenne? Laughing very loudly at her peer's shenanigans? Unheard of. Kori tried once, and the young woman only ever smiled.
Still, that just sounds like someone in denial. This isn't supposed to be "normal" lovey-dovey Wyenne, it's Yandere!Wyenne...
The young lady knows she's pretty. If some fool were to compare her to anyone, they'd call her Aphrodite. She'll use her charm to get more favorable scenarios, how hard can it be? Breaking a few hearts is nothing compared to what she'll do to honor Trickster.
She could get away with practically anything concerning normal average people. Pretty privilege goes a long way, you see. Trickster wants someone interesting, yes? She'll do it. Anything to catch and maintain the spotlight on her. Then again... she'll be the most interesting one if everyone else is a corpse, right?
----•
This isn't finished but,, waa,, I ran out of ideas,, I did this a few days ago and may have lost my train of thought which is... um,, whoopsies!! I will doodle a Yan!Wyenne in the future as compensation,, maybe...

“…But then pandemic happened, so all you had for the next six months was your phone… You took tours of each other's apartments. Had dinners and breakfasts together. Shared what books you were reading and watched movies together. Vincent teased you about your fat, lazy cat and you did likewise over his ten pound shih tzu. Although, you admitted, it was because she got to share a bed with him.” From this story by @misskittysmagicportal (X)
Wyenne had a better pandemic than I did. 😩🥺

#yolanda talks#shouldnt have waste this time but it took me like an hour to decide what happen post trespasser for dorian and fin'agon#maybe ppl'd care if i actually spend the time to draw them and publish these fanart/comics but whatevs#i dont like my drawings yet#anyways i changed my mind i think 1. finn's ex bf Baelig didnt die. but they broke up nevertheless and 2. finn went to tevinter with dorian#like baelig and finn were both candidates for the First of the clan and Baelig was not as powerful and skillful but he was v competitive#so he turns to blood magic and finn was the only one to know abt it. still. baelig didnt pursue ways of blood magic. they still broke up#then obvs finn became the first and he was sent to the conclave and the rest is history#while finn is gone. having been named as the inquisitor. the keeper became sicker and baelig wanted to take over as the new First#after the inquisition is disbanded. finn goes back to the clan. hoping to re-join the clan while he makes for preparation to eventually#head to tevinter. dorian reluctantly leaves for tevinter to accept his position in the magisterium and try to get on the lucerni business#before they part. well. they spent a night at the hotel with a wyenne dawn bed. u know. cause of the banter in trespasser lmao#then like almost a month later. finn calls by the sending crystal like *hey...yeah. im pregnant i think*#dorian immediately leaves for freed marches lmao even tho finn told him that its fine and that theres ppl helping him at the clan#(while they were parted. finn gave his estate at kirkwall to sera. visited her. varric and also merrill quite a bit)#obvs dorian and finn introduced dorian as a circle mage from orlais but it didnt rly help cause its already kinda scandalous that finn#apparently slept with a shemlen (dorian)#also baelig was being a huge asshat. challenging finn's qualitification as the First all the time. salty that finn *picked a shem*over him#because of him the clan eventually is informed that dorian is of tevinter--in addition of obviously being a shemlen#clan lavellan is open minded. sure. more so than other clans in free marches in my head#but its still hard to accept their first to have coupled with a man from tevinter and birthed two children who'd look more human than elven#so finn and dorian took their child (valerie. lmao i decide to name their child after my female inquisitor) to tevinter together#since finn is a dalish pariah now...baelig took over his seat as the first...and finn realizes that after three years at the inquisition#he no longer fits in with his clan...#he insisted on coming with dorian. not just he couldnt part with dorian. or that he wanted to raise their children#but also because he needed to uncover more of ancient elves' past (a lot of it lies in modern day tevinter) to counter solas#finn would have drank from the well of sorrows. so. the voices also guided him there too#how..intriguing that finn would find a home at tevinter. where all begins and ends with his people

You’re Wet, You’re Naked
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
A/N: Here’s Part 3 of Charlie spending a hot smutty night with his biggest fan Y/N! This fic is also my next entry for @band–psycho’s Bingo Challenge! In this Part 3, now that Charlie has read some of the smut that you’ve written about him... you’ll get to reenact those filthy fantasies with him 😜
Pairing: Charlie Hunnam x F!Reader Warnings: smut, swearing, dirty talk, teasing, punishment, spanking, dom!Charlie Request: This anon request + separate request from @rayslittlekitten (Charlie reading smutty fanfics​) Bingo Square Filled: Losing a bet
Word Count: 2.9k
Tumblr media
… Continued from Part 2 [Read Here]
Charlie Hunnam is having entirely too much fun scrolling through your whole collection of sin.
And he’s still convinced that he’s going to win. He’s determined. Thinks that if he digs deep enough, into some of the dirtiest stuff, he’ll find some kind of content that will make you die of embarrassment.
“Hmm, apparently this Miss ‘Y/N’ is a glutton for punishment...” he remarks, noting that it’s a theme in a lot of your works. Pronouncing ‘Y/N’ like ‘Wyenne’ as if she’s a real woman.
“Well, Miss ‘Y/N’ won’t tolerate that tone of judgment, Mr. Hunnam. She loves getting spanked and has no fucking shame,” you huff, acting all confident and tough. “And you do know that those letters stand for ‘your name’?”
“Yeah, I’m getting a sense of the whole reader-insert thing. But who ever said I was judging?”
“That smirk on your stupidly beautiful face, for one thing.”
“Hey, listen—if I’m gonna judge Miss ‘Y/N’ for anything...” he taunts, as he skims through the first piece of fiction that you’d ever written about his character from The Gentlemen, Raymond, “...it’s the fact that she’s apparently obsessed with being called a filthy little cunt.”
... Oh no. You suddenly feel like a damn tomato, which is exactly what Sir Hunnam wants.
He’s basically just won; you should’ve known to never doubt him. Your desire for this man to call you ‘cunt’ is really not even the kinkiest of kinks you have about him—no, not even close—but somehow it just feels embarrassing as fuck and he just knows.
“What’s the matter darling? Thought you’re proud of all your kinks.”
“I am, but—”
“Mmm, but what?” he sneers, pulling you near, lips brushing up against your ear. “You’re getting all bothered and hot. Did I just hit the fucking jackpot? Tell me, slut.”
“You’ll never get me to admit embarrassment, if that’s what you want.”
“Oh, but I always get what I want,” he goads you on, as all your walls start crumbling down. He’s won, without a doubt. “So stop fucking around. ‘Cause if I can’t win a confession from this pretty little mouth... guess I’ll just have to win it from your naughty little cunt.”
***************
Conveniently, the limousine ride is now done, and Charlie Fucking Hunnam takes you up to his hotel room for a night of filthy fun. There’s a special private entrance for celebrities to make sure that you won’t be seen by anyone. He literally sweeps you off your feet, like it’s your damn wedding or something as he whisks you to his swanky penthouse suite.
Apparently he’s feeling quite inspired and has a raging erection, from the smut that he just read from your collection, which was straight up pornographic. It’s clear that he intends to bring those fantasies to life and work his magic.
By the time you stumble through the door, you’re moaning like a whore, and ready to go at it. “But Charlie, we—we can’t reenact that fic...”
“Why the hell not, you little slut? I thought it’s what you’d want...” he grunts, as you both tumble down onto the mattress. Your skin and his are separated only by a few layers of fabric. He’s planning to act out the fic about Raymond dishing out smutty punishment, now that he knows just what a slut you are for spanking and for being called a cunt. His dirty talk is such a drug and you’re an addict.
“Because in that fic ‘Y/N’ never gets to suck on her man’s dick.”
Charlie’s suit-clad physique is pressed against your dress so that you can feel every perfect inch of him. “...And that’s a problem?”
It’s no secret how badly you want him. “I’ve only been dreaming about your big cock in my mouth every night of my life, Mr. Hunnam.”
Those words off your lips fucking fire him up, as the dominant side of him starts to erupt. With a growl he lifts off of your body and stands at the foot of the bed, removing his suit jacket. Looking down at your body as if it’s an object for him to corrupt. Made for him to attack it.
“Why don’t you get down on the floor, you dirty little whore,” he says, watching as you eagerly obey. Your butt is burning up with the need for this sex god to smack it. “That’s it, on all fours. Hands and knees. With that pretty ass facing towards me.”
This is so much like the setup for your fic with Raymond Smith and you have never been so horny. Pussy soaking so intensely as you relive what you wrote in your own stories. Charlie’s hardly gotten started, and already you are probably dripping through your panties all across the carpet, sorry you’re not even sorry.
Of course he loves to see you following his orders in a hurry. Pours on praise that has your senses going blurry. “Such a perfect little slut for me...”
You whimper in submission, as you get into position. You are in literal heaven—except for the fact that from this angle you can’t witness his perfection. Of course you try to turn your head in his direction; thankfully he makes it easier by moving now to stand in front of you so you can look up at his magnificent face and his massive fucking erection.
He then begins unbuckling his belt, unbuttoning his pants, and you are filled with the most all-consuming need you’ve ever felt, utterly hypnotized with every move of his masterful hands. The thought of laying eyes on his cock has you in a trance. And maybe more than just your loving gaze—maybe you’ll get a fucking taste, if he commands...
This isn’t how your Raymond fic began, the fic that led Charlie to win your little bet. He’ll get back into it again. But just for now he’d rather go off-script instead. He’s focused on that thing you said, when you were spread beneath him on the bed. How you’ve been wanting for so long to give him head.
“So you’ve been dreaming of this big cock in that slutty mouth of yours?” he teases, as his right hand reaches in his pants and squeezes. “Just how badly do you want it, whore?”
“Sir, there is nothing I want more...” you breathlessly implore.
“It’s everything you live for? Everything you’ve ever dreamed?”
All you can do is nod, submitting to this god, desperately kneeling. By now you’re thirsting to the absolute extreme and bursting at the seams. Your mind is reeling. Here you are at the mercy of Sir Charlie Hunnam, and damn, there is no better feeling.
“Mmm, well maybe it’s time to stop dreaming...” he declares, destroying you with his stare, blue eyes gleaming, promising you hell and heaven and taking you there, “...‘cause baby, you’re about to get the real thing.”
And so you are. When Charlie finally whips out his perfect cock, so long and thick and pink and hard as a damn rock... you die of shock. You’re seeing stars. The piece of meat throbbing in front of you is beautiful as fuck. This is hands down the greatest moment of your life so far. You can’t believe your luck.
“What’re you waiting for, you filthy whore?” he quips, wrapping his fist around his shaft and slowly guiding it toward your thirsty lips. “Now open up that pretty mouth of yours and suck.”
Never have you obeyed an order any faster. You could seriously spend your whole life servicing your master. Swirling your tongue around the tip, eyes rolling back into your skull, in pleasure as you savor the flavor of his arousal, wrapping your lips around his thick girth in an act of total worship, taking him deeper down your throat than you’d have thought physically possible.
Admiring the view, Charlie smirks devilishly down at you, the evil fucking bastard. You both groan in satisfaction, getting off on your reactions. He knows that he is your whole world. That you’d do anything to serve him as his dirty little girl.
“Mmm yeah, right there...” he snarls, twining his fingers in your hair, the husky rumble of his voice making your toes curl. On the next upstroke you pull back to tease your tongue around the pink tip with a playful little twirl, then quickly seal your lips around his length again to take him deeper than you’ve ever fucking dared. Gorging yourself on his enormous, gorgeous cock. And all the while your eyes are locked. “Ughh holy fuck—right fucking there...”
At this rate his gigantic dick will probably break your jaw and you don’t even fucking care.
Reading your mind, he swiftly strips out of his shirt, so you can look upon his sculpted upper body which is honestly divine, so goddamn beautiful it hurts. The sight of Charlie Fucking Hunnam’s chiseled muscles just intensifies your thirst. You love him so much you could die, expressing that as passionately as you can with every movement of your mouth as you kneel down between his thighs, gaze up at him with wide unblinking eyes. Completely motherfucking mesmerized.
“My God, you’re perfect...” Charlie moans as you continue with your service. Clearly loves the way you’re worshiping his dick just like a good little slut should. “So good... so fucking good...”
He’s buried deep inside your throat, and from the luscious way he pulsates on your tongue you know he’s ready to explode. Reaching around to grab his ass, taking those firm muscular globes within your grasp, you make sure that he stays in place and wordlessly beg him to feed you with his load.
“Mmm...” he hums, smiling suggestively as he caresses your cheek with a smooth sweep of his thumb, “...does my perfect little cockslut want some cum?”
Even if you could talk, even if your mouth weren’t so stuffed full of his cock, you’d be struck dumb.
“Wait just a few more seconds,” Charlie taunts, “and let me fuck this pretty face of yours, you dirty fucking whore. Why don’t you reach down and play with your cunt. Touch yourself till that sweet pussy squirts out all over the floor.”
Oh holy fuck—before you can even process what he just said, he grabs a firm hold of your head, and starts to ferociously hammer your mouth with his huge rock hard cock. He’s thrusting so fast you can’t even keep the pace to slurp and suck. You didn’t think your throat could take him any further, but he shows you just how wrong you were. 
And it’s all that you can do to follow orders, reaching up your dress and into your panties to rub your pussy while he furiously face-fucks you like bloody fucking murder.
Given what this man is doing to your face, pounding you into a submissive haze... all it takes is a few flicks of your fingers on your clit to cause you to start cumming all over the place. In all your days, until today you didn’t know you were a squirter.
“That’s a good little cunt,” he grunts, taking such pleasure in what he just witnessed, that suddenly he himself reaches his finish. Shoots his sweet creamy load down your throat as you swallow down every drop of it like nobody’s business. So fucking delicious. “Mmm, is this what you want? Yeah, know it is. Take that cum while you sit there all soaked in your juices.”
His dirty talk is fucking ruthless. Gets off on the fact that he just made you do this. Once he finally slips out of your mouth you attempt to thank him for the privilege, of serving as his little cock-sucking bitch, but your cum-slathered tongue has become absolutely useless.
That mind-blowing session of sucking his dick... you can’t believe that that just happened. It was so far beyond anything that you’d ever imagined, ever written in your fics.
Speaking of which—you know that he still plans to finish what he’d started with that fic about the punishment, and calling you a cunt. Even though you just came the thought of that already makes your pussy twitch. It’s everything you want.
He doesn’t waste a second, getting you into position for another round of wrecking. Lifting you up off of the floor to throw you down onto the sumptuous king bed. Recalling those words he had said, during his talk show interview—wet and naked—two words that had inevitably made him think of you. 
Now that he has you in his bed, he can do literally anything he wants to do. “So you’re already plenty wet... I think it’s time we get you naked.”
Charlie is handling you like a goddamn rag doll and you cannot fucking take it. Somehow every move he makes is carefully steady and soft, even when he’s terribly rough. You don’t know how he manages to make you feel like your whole body is a precious treasure even as he breaks it. Makes you feel more alive than ever and yet... super fucking dead.
“How much do you fancy this pretty little dress, princess?” he asks, reaching beneath the cloth to grope your ass, as he hovers above you on the bed. “Would it be alright if I just... rip it to shreds?”
“God, yes...” you gasp, melting into the mattress, as he takes a fistful of the fabric in his grasp. And does exactly as he said he would. The sensation of your dress getting savagely torn to pieces feels ridiculously good.
Your bra and panties follow afterwards. Leaving you naked like a whore, exposing your glistening core. Charlie looks down at it with such insatiable thirst. “You know I’m gonna spend the whole damn night eating this sweet pussy of yours...” he purrs, which sounds like such a blessing and a curse—you can already tell that he’ll be edging you to death and telling you to keep yourself from cumming till you fucking burst. “But first—”
He suddenly flips you over, grabbing hold of your shoulders, and repositioning your body on all fours.
It’s finally time to reenact that fic of course.
“First I’m gonna have to punish you for being such a filthy fucking cunt,” he sneers, sinful lips pressed against your ear. “For writing all that smutty fiction, all those pornographic words. These kinky fantasies about me that made you cringe in embarrassment. I’m gonna have to spank this naughty little ass until it hurts.”
“Yes, sir...” you yelp, your inner slut unable to be helped, trembling in pleasure.
He’s leaning over you now from behind, blowing your mind. “Now is that what you want? Are you done fucking around, cunt?”
“Yes, sir...!” again you answer, powerless to say anything else before your master.
“That’s a good slut,” he mutters as he slides his palm across the bare skin of your butt. “You gonna be my perfect little whore? Take everything I have in store, and beg for more?”
Before you can even say ‘yes sir’ yet again... the punishment begins.
Sir Charlie Hunnam doesn’t need you to respond, to know that this shit is exactly what you want. You scream in ecstasy, fulfilling all your fantasies, each time his hand comes down. Don’t even bother keeping count. You lose all sense of your sanity, and your whole fucking identity, here in the presence of someone so unimaginably dominant.
“That’s it, cunt. Take your punishment,” he taunts, his words and actions straight out of the smut that you had written about Raymond. Spanks you raw until your skin is fucking flaming. Every second of this experience with him is even better than the fiction. You could never have imagined such a heavenly sensation of submission.
It goes without saying that you don’t get to have another orgasm till Charlie gives permission. Thankfully he himself is near the edge as well; from his heated breathing and the feeling of his throbbing cock when it brushes against your skin you can just tell. And he wants both of you to come undone at the same time again. So he gets into position...
But in the moment just before he plunges in and splits you open, as you have always been hoping... he leans in to whisper words into your ear, which are for sure the hottest thing that you will ever fucking hear: “Now Miss Y/N—I’m gonna fuck you better than any damn thing you’ve ever written.”
That is a promise and you both know it. And you can’t fucking wait for him to show it. Fuck you in ways that take you someplace far beyond the filthy fantasies of fanfiction.
And that is how your love affair with Charlie Hunnam began—how you lost a bet, ended up in his bed, wet and naked, just as he had said. It’s a night you won’t ever forget... one that you hope will happen again...
You may not know it yet, but Charlie hopes that too. Already knows he’ll never get enough of you. This is the first but hopefully not the last night you’ll get to spend. Lucky for you two—unlike any piece of fanfiction that finishes once Miss Y/N is done playing pretend—this real-life romance that you’ve started... never has to end.

And The Nominees Are… (Part 2/2)
#younghowzetheatreawards
By Ricky and Dana Young-Howze
Mays Landing, NJ
Venmo: @rndyounghowze
The nominations for the first ever Young-Howze Theatre Awards are finally here! We have been working hard since March of 2020 reviewing over a hundred and forty digital productions. We have been poring over them all since January to bring you these categories and the shows vying for them.
Tumblr media
Let’s remind everyone what our criteria were: Because of the pandemic this year every show that we have reviewed was nominated for at least one category. We picked winners by a very specific set of criteria: What was this show attempting to do? Was it successful? Was it the most successful of all the shows that tried to do this? We apologize to anyone who thought that we would be announcing winners today. We decided that we wanted to save all of the spoilers for the live show on February 21st at 8PM EST. Please remember that even if you only get one nomination it is because we wanted to honor everyone who worked hard this year (every theatre artist who did a show this year deserves a medal). However we understand that specific nominations are useful for theatre creators in their resumes, grant applications etc.
All Nominees should receive a nomination email from us. If you haven’t gotten an email by Monday 11:59pm PST email is at [email protected]
Congratulations everyone! We are so proud of your accomplishments and amazing work. We’ve already seen shows this year that are award worthy. You all exceeded our expectations. Without further ado...

Pro Kontra Animasi 3D Studio Ghibli Pertama “Aya And The Witch”, Bagaimana Tampilannya?
Buat kamu yang mengaku pecinta anime, pasti nggak asing lagi dengan “Studio Ghibli”. Studio ini adalah salah satu studio bersejarah di jagad pembuatan anime Jepang. Anime produksi Studio Ghibli mempunyai gambar dan jalan cerita yang khas sehingga mempunyai banyak penggemar setia di seluruh penjuru dunia.
Selama ini animasi Studio Ghibli mempunyai ciri khas karakter yang unik, atau bisa dibilang aneh dan penuh dengan imajinasi. Selain itu jalan cerita yang diambil oleh Studio Ghibli sebagian besar bercerita tentang perjuangan hidup manusia, kesengsaraan dan tantangan yang harus dihadapi oleh manusia, serta dibumbui oleh fantasi dunia roh dan magis yang digambarkan serealis mungkin dengan kehidupan nyata.
Diberitakan akhir tahun 2020 Studio Ghibli akan menayangkan Animasi 3D CGI pertamanya di NHK, salah satu stasiun TV terbesar di Jepang. Film 3D pertama Studio Ghibli berjudul “Aya To Majo” (Aya and The Witch). Film ini adalah adaptasi dari Novel anak karangan Diana Wyenne Jones yang berjudul “Earwig And The Witch”. Pembuatan film ini disutradarai oleh Goro Miyazaki, anak dari Hayao Miyazaki (pendiri Studio Ghibli) serta diawasi oleh Hayao Miyazaki. Film ini merupakan kerjasama antara Studio Ghibli, NHK, dan NEP (NHK Enterprise). Nantinya penjualan internasional akan ditangani oleh perusahaan dari Prancis, Wild Bunch.
Sebenarnya pembuatan film Studio Ghibli berbentuk 3D banyak menuai pro-kontra pada penggemar Studio Ghibli. Ada pihak yang mendukung pembuatan film 3D ini karena akan menjadi film unik dalam sejarah produksi Studio Ghibli seperti yang cuitan Salah satu penggemar Studio Ghibli pada akun twitternya,
The CG looks so stylised and unique, and I can recognise characters from the book already. I’m looking forward to it beyond anything else!!
Namun ada juga yang menyayangkan pembuatan anime berbentuk 3D yang akan diproduksi oleh Studio Ghibli dengan alasan akan menghilangkan ciri khas anime Ghibli. Seperti tulisan salah satu penggemar Studio Ghibli
I don’t want Ghibli to produce standard 3D movies, I’m begging you please stop.
Bagaimanapun, film “Aya And The Witch” ini patut masuk dalam daftar film yang wajib ditonton karena mempunyai jalan cerita yang sarat akan makna. Lalu,bagaimana tampilan animasi film “Aya And The Witch” dalam bentuk 3D? Yuk kita intip!

Nah… Gimana nih? Kamu lebih suka Animasi Studio Ghibli 2D atau 3D? Duh, jadi nggak sabar nonton filmnya!

If story-telling is the new something, then this book is the new tool box for that something. Check it out free on Kindle. I recommend it. Here's what the author, @michaelkass825 had to say... Link is in HIS bio: #Repost ・・・ [Book Launch! / Long Post] Here's the TL;DR: Story Maps: Wayfinding Tools for the Modern Seeker is NOW AVAILABLE. And the Kindle version will be free March 22nd through 24th, with a super official release event in LA coming on April 11. The link to get the book is in the profile link . . .if you grab a copy for free, I ask that you leave a review on Amazon noting anything you found interesting or useful, cool? Ok, now the long bit: Almost seven years ago, I stood backstage at a small theater on Santa Monica Boulevard trembling, sweaty, and about to puke. It was opening afternoon of the solo show 'Ceremony' at the Hollywood Fringe and, after months of rewrites and rehearsals, I was about to share the story with an audience for the first time. My director, Diana Wyenn, came backstage. 'Let's pull the plug,' I said. 'No one will care, this is dumb, I want to go home, I'm gonna throw up.' She Jedi mind-tricked me, shoved me out on stage, and. . .it ended up being the most creatively exhilarating experience of my life. (Note: maybe it didn't exactly go down like that, but that was the idea) Now I'm having that same pukey feeling around sending this book, Story Maps, out into the world. Is it interesting? Is it useful? Will reading it be a good use of your time? I hope so, but honestly have no idea. Here's what I do know: Each one of the stories, poems, maps, and tools in this book have been indispensable as I've picked my way through my own journey. They've proven powerful when offered in countless workshops and one-on-one sessions. And, because they come from a wide range of different traditions, disciplines, and my own experiences, they've never been all together in one place. The intention is that the book serve as a companion and toolbox for seekers of purpose, belonging, self-knowledge, or simply lovely stories. Between you and me, I'm proud of it and hope you find it interesting, useful, and worth your time. Pleas https://ift.tt/2CzUz4S

PEACH KORI REAL!! HEHEHEH,,, anyway,, redesigning wyenne before doing any more doodles...
As I'm drawing,, the thought of yandere Kori comes to mind... it's so strange... A yandere variant of her would go against her entire character...
Kori always feels so lucky to be alive. She feels like it's a miracle she survived that one event in her childhood, and thinks she doesn't even deserve it. It makes her want to give back to the world tenfold.
I'm fully aware there's sub variants of yanderes but... It's hard to picture Kori taking someone's freedom or manipulating them into being dependent on her,,
So perhaps it can go like this..!
Kori, as lovely as she is... can't help but think she's not enough for them. She loves them so much, but she's nothing compared to them! She doesn't deserve them at all...
Everyone else says she's so lovable, really. So sweet and kind... Yet why won't they pay attention to her? If everyone really thinks that... They why does her darling not even glance her way? They must be lying about her again...
Kori would be obsessed, but keeps it to herself. She'll have little mementos of her darling, photos neatly tucked inside a special notebook, all for her eyes only. She even has a shrine than can pop-up from inside a box she had custom made..!
When caught, she'd sob and cry and...! Please don't be mad, darling..! Kori just loves you so much, okay? So much that she just had to take the handkerchief you left on the counter... and the used straws... and— She loves you so much she doesn't know what to do with herself, okay? Please forgive her...
Oky i ran out of ideas HAHSHWHDHA hiii

“Needs” Challenges The Idea That Ability And Artistry Are The Same
This @pghfringe offering is an honest and generous look into performance and disability.
By RnD Young-Howze
Pittsburgh Fringe
Review 233
Tumblr media
I have been disabled most of my life. I don’t think I know a world outside of disability. Since high school forward the whole world told me that my disability (Tourette's Syndrome) was going to keep me from being an artist. Throughout college I ran from it and ignored my body and the warning signs that there might also be something worse going on in my life. When I was diagnosed with dystonia I had a real moment where I thought, “this is it, this is the end of my career before it even started.” This is why we need more artists like Tom and Amanda in our lives. In their performance art film “Needs'' they explore the unique collaboration that they have to have even getting Amanda to the toilet.
Tumblr media
I know this story that Amanda and Tom are telling. When I was younger I knew it from taking care of my Mom with MS and my Grandfather with Parkinson’s. I also know it a tiny bit on the other side of the relationship from having Dystonia and Tourettes. I have had the experience of lifting someone off the floor and also the experience of being the one on the floor. This is the air I breathe and that’s why it makes me so happy that they took this very honest and generous look into Amanda’s life. This is something that we need in the world for a myriad of reasons.
Tumblr media
We definitely wanted more Amanda! We felt that she could have carried more of the show solo if she wanted. Tom was a very generous scene partner but we want to know what Amanda would have created without anyone else involved (I guess you still need a camera person but you get the idea). At first we thought this was Tom telling his story and that Amanda was just a supporting role. However when Amanda started talking on her own it just clicked with us.
Tumblr media
Sometimes artists with disabilities have a tendency to just disappear. The theatre world that worships ability and “triple threat” culture doesn’t provide many opportunities for these wonderful creators with limitations to interface with it. The saddest thing is that Amanda has to be vocal not just for herself but for others. The absolute horrible realization is that she would be just another artist with a disability that can’t seem to get traction if she didn’t create these things for herself. There is this almost unconscious need to keep artists with disabilities out of sight lest we remind the “normal” arts world of something it doesn’t want to realize. We have to do things to stay visible and remind them that we exist and that we are capable and compelling artists.
Tumblr media
This documentary makes Amanda visible. This is her reclaiming space in the theatre. This is her flexing her creative muscles as an artist and speaking her truth. This documentary is her putting herself out there for all the world to see. I’m glad that Amanda did this. I don’t know if we would have heard this story any other way. So the fact that she said “this is my story and I’m going to tell it” was a huge statement. I can’t wait to hear more statements from her in the future.
