Marlon Brando huh? Took some inspiration from Val Kilmer's real life obsession with him?

*controversial opinion, Val sometimes pings my gaydar. low-key would not be surprised he's fooled around with a guy at least once. unlike TC who despite the rumors has never once pinged my gaydar.

i actually did not know Val was obsessed with Brando. Whoa. i try to know as little about actors’ personal lives as possible because they are usually disappointing and cringe. pretty much the only thing i really know for sure about val’s/tc’s personal life is that they both independently fucked Cher (?)

the brando things been in my head since day one no joke—this was one of the first scenes i wrote of the fic, it actually predates ice’s mega-repression & me finding a solid writing style for ice so it’s written fucking weird as shit for no real reason

in the right lighting and minus some masculine jawbone i feel like tc does kinda look like brando a little maybe?

100% there with you re: tc/val on the gaydar. 100% agreed. Val’s too weird to be 100% straight

#i tried to start readin Val’s memoir and it was cringe so i put it down. my apologies. #and obviously the more i find out about tc’s life the less i like looking at him #am happy to live in blissful ignorance 👍🏽 #tc is inarguably feminine and breedable but not by choice like he can’t help that #he’s too weird to be gay and vals too weird to be straight #all speculation ofc #i have no dog in this fight #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #edts notes #icemav #i only learned very late what actually happened with Val’s cancer #they are not their characters #anon i love you. i adore you. hope you’re doing well.

No but its literally so in character for Buck to be jealous about Eddie & Tommy being friends! Buck's insecurities/abandonment issues come up when new people step in & leave him feeling like he's being replaced/left behind. We saw it when Eddie was first introduced- because he saw this new guy who was seemingly better at everything- his fear of losing his place on the team/his new family made him react. Same with the Lone Star crossover- it takes him time to feel comfortable around new people when he doesn't know where they stand in shifting the firefam dynamics. It's very Buck & it'll be cool to see that brought up & talked about!

#sorry if someone's talked about this already #also this is very much not a negative on buck at all #i love him to bits & i think this is just v in character & thats awesome #also jealousy for other reasons potentially ofc 👀🤠 #911 spoilers #evan buckley #911 #911 abc #911 on abc #9-1-1 #911 s7 spoilers #911 season 7 #911 s7 #911 speculation #911 spec #merthurians prat and idiot #pls no one take this the wrong way skss #buddie

Hey so I have a question-

Is Rachel even contributing to LO's art anymore? Like, at all?

CAUTION: MILD FASTPASS SPOILERS AHEAD !!!

I've talked at length about the 'tells' of each assistant and artist, and while it doesn't guarantee that I can tell exactly who drew each panel, there's one thing there's been a lot less of in the most recent episodes that have caught my attention - things that I know Rachel would typically contribute.

And most of it comes down to her lineart.

The shading was always her, no doubt about that, you could tell with how consistently awful it is, how she would take actual decent flats from her assistants and proceed to butcher them with muddied shading.

AmyKim89's flats vs. after Rachel's gotten her hands on them:

(seriously Rachel why tf did you darken Persephone's legs here, it looked so much better before ??)

But there was also her lineart which, at first, I didn't realize who was drawing it. It didn't show up super often in LO but it was always very noticeable when it did so I knew it had to be someone on the team doing it:

The thickness of the lines and the extra little strokes added in along the knuckles and bends, that wasn't something that was really common in LO at this point... at least it hasn't been since S1:

And when comparing it to the lineart she used to do in The Doctor Pepper/Foxglove Show:

(look at the mouth in The Doctor Foxglove Show vs. Hera in the pilot version of LO, they're literally the same)

So yeah, it was certainly the revelation to discover that that one instance of "weirdly detailed lineart" wasn't one of her assistants having a little extra fun, it was Rachel herself. It was already so uncommon for her to contribute all the way back in S2 that her contributions seemed to be more of the exception rather than the norm.

And since seeing the art that's been in the newest FP episodes following the return of the series... is Rachel even drawing at all anymore? Because lately the lineart has felt very thin, in a way that I can't tell if it's her assistants just doing all the lineart now or if she's trying to emulate S1 LO more by using less lineart. But S1 didn't have thin lineart, it had very thick lineart, BUT only being used where necessary to emphasis shadows and depth.

Now the lineart feels very... dinky? Especially when you look at the eyelashes.

That said, there are moments from S1 that had similarly 'dinky' lineart, so take this with grains of salt. It still didn't feel as dinky though as it does today where the lines are practically non-existent in how thin they are.

There are also times when you can tell they're really trying to emulate that S1 look, the pieces are there but they aren't being put together very well:

So yeah at this point I wouldn't even be shocked if all Rachel's doing at this point is scripting and roughs. And considering there are definitely times where she'll just draw without knowing what to write, the 'scripting' is also practically non-existent. It's just her leaving her roughs off to the last second for her assistants to whip out with very little time to pay attention to what's being submitted.

Once again it's Rachel fundamentally missing the point of the criticism that's being made of her work. She's trying to forcefully emulate something that she didn't even have a process behind. I can attest as someone who's been trying to do studies of her past work to recreate it as faithfully as possible through Rekindled, it's very difficult to achieve the 'old LO' look because 'old LO' was literally just Rachel slapping down brush strokes until they looked good, there was no specific process or guidelines that she followed, she just made things look textured and colorful. Everything else was basically up to her figuring out what actually looked good, with panels often having their own vibes separate from others in isolation of one another.

Now she's trying to replicate that look while missing the point entirely that it's not something she can really replicate anymore. Though we do get the odd panel that's way closer to the point, those panels have one thing that she's clearly not putting into the comic as a whole anymore - love and effort.

(fr this panel is so gorgeous but I feel like at this point it was more sheer luck because of how rare it is to see panels like these nowadays, this feels like an accident LOL)

Case in point, this honorable mention towards Persephone's outfit which is literally just a color-swapped version of the sketch that Rachel posted to Blue Sky that got meme'd to death in the ULO sub:

Did you catch that though? The weird dark patch over her boob and the gap in the lineart of her cleavage?

That's because they copy pasted the first panel and then erased out the hands, but missed the part of the hand shading that was overlapping the breast and the gap in the lineart.

I shit you not, Rachel coming up with memes on Blue Sky that she's scraped out of shows she watched 20 years ago is basically the full extent of her writing at this point.

Haha take a thing and make it bigger! So funnyyyy!

(seriously Rachel's 'humor' feels like it's stuck in 2010)

Yep, you're really earning that #1 NYT Bestseller label that you haven't even gotten since Volume 3, Rachel. Put your hand down, there are no high fives for you here.

#anyways this is all speculation ofc #so take it with mountains of salt #obviously we don't have an actual official list of who drew what panels #but it's clear from the flats we've seen on her assistants' web pages and their personal flairs that they're carrying the bulk of the work #i literally have no clue why they put up with this shit but i guess we'll never know lmao #maybe they really do just love LO that much #no hate if they do #but damn #are they really happy with the work that's being put out ?? #at least the work they're showing off is before rachel's gotten her hands on it i suppose LOL #rachel's literally forgotten how to draw #lore olympus critical #lo critical #anti lore olympus

[saturn-valleys]

The only thing making hopeful about Lokius maybe possibly being cacon in the next episode is the fact that Loki and Mobius are rumored to be in Deadpool 3 and if THATS the case, there's no way Deadpool wouldn't not only flirt with Mobius but also make sex jokes between Loki and Mobius.

It'd be very ooc if Wade doesn't ONCE mention their unresolved feeling for each other

[gayofthefae]

You know how they're always drawing and putting shit on the walls? And the whole "Will drew Castle Byers before making it x the upside down was manifested as Hawkins because of Will" and the drawing of a dragon we see from him in season 1 and the dragon he paints again and all those theories?

What if there's a plot pertinent reason for them to be like "everybody run to your houses and grab all your art from Will and we'll collect and go through it to understand the upside down better etc." and we Lucas and Dustin run home and take drawings off of their bulletin boards (canon if you look) and out of frames and off of desks and things and El only has a few but she kept them and she brings them out and then of course Jonathan has a bunch of course and then Joyce opens like a giant drawer of course stuffed to the brim and Mike just drops a giant ass 10 year old binder as full as the Byers' on the table with a thud like "where do we start?"

#byler speculations #byler #stranger things #mike is will's family #but like in an inlaw way not brother way ofc #still think a funny way to do byler in like a diff genre probably would be for karen or something to be like aw youre just like brothers an #mike to just be like NO and super uncomfortable for “unknown reasons” #also a great opportunity to show all the people who love him super cute too with the suicidal themes and bringing it back to season 1 #stranger things speculations

I idea of BroZone fans speculating on Floyd’s sexuality in the 90s is really funny to me I can’t stop thinking about it

#fan 1: do you think Floyd is… you know? #fan 2: ofc not! he blows kisses to his fan girls all the time! #fan 3: guys he literally wears one earring #fan 4: it’s weird to speculate on a real troll’s sexuality guys :/ boundaries #(all happening on a brozone forum in 1997 probably) #trolls band together #dreamworks trolls #trolls floyd

[evilkitten3]

i have a lot of thoughts on fandoms and treatment of female characters but i do not seem to have the words to put said thoughts into. frustrating.

#personal #vent post? #idk #fandom crit #like when you're scrolling through an art blog and the only time the girl characters show up is in group images #or when people are willing to bend over backwards to talk about male character but dismiss the female characters altogether #like on the one hand there's plenty of examples of male authors failing miserably to write female characters #but so so often i see fans act like badly-written female characters aren't like. symptomatic of a bigger issue #it's hard for me to explain but i think people have like. a difficult time admitting that misogyny exists in media #at least when it concerns female characters they don't like #bc it's fine to not like badly written characters imo #but it does seem sometimes that people would rather tell themselves that the author intended the character to be unlikable #ofc it's pretty much impossible to give a solid ''this is what the author was thinking'' without the author's commentary #or without being a mind reader i guess #so it's all speculation #but i do feel as though people have an easier time with ''she just sucks'' than ''this man can't write women and it shows'' #idk i don't really have the words for it #to be clear i'm not innocent of this either #it's just. idk something i've been thinking about lately

[knife-catto]

Another favorite part is how absolutely unabashedly dorky and honest billy is!!! I cant wait to see more of him and the old gang, nothing gets me more hyped than an author who can fully utilise his characters!

#undead unluck #now all we’re missing is Andy 🥹🥹 #I’m starved for anfuu content tbh they’re my favorite duo ever #I hope they will kill god’s ass in this roumd #AND ALSO THE HEART BEING IMPLIED TO BE FUUKO GOT ME EXCITED LMAO I CANT TO SEE IT #If there’s anything this manga can do is actually pay you off for paying attention and speculating #got me nostalgic for old timey shounen lmao but with a modern twists ofc #I really wish I had more friends to talk about this manga with

[inkstaindusk]

I can't help but think every so often an internet friend will talk to Aira about idols and he just has to stop himself from going "You Don't Know. You Don't Understand. Tenshouin Eichi and Sakuma Rei hate each other and I'm stuck in the middle every day. I can't go to my best friend's room without Tomoe Hiyori kicking us both out. Witches are real and he helped me not get fired." Aira still loves idols but he's also experiencing so much all the time and he can't talk about it with anyone except Kohaku, who assassinates people on the side

#i just think aira should have opinions on all That #his friends are like hey you dont seem to post much anymore #and he cant tell them that its because he knows all these people in real life and cannot speculate about them #without remembering very real and probably Surreal conversations he's had with them #he still posts gifsets and freaks out about lives and stuff ofc he just has to restrain himself from talking about Everything Else #enstars #enstars lb #shiratori aira

[eeliocentric]

Okay hold on so I’ve come to understand and respect Chuuya’s acting abilities (as well as Fyodor’s overconfidence, probably) but I’m still trying to figure out why Chuuya didn’t just kill Fyodor when he had a TON of chances to. The Meursault arc would’ve been like two minutes.

And Mori had to okay this plan, shit, he HELPED Chuuya get into costume. He listened to this man’s goofy-ass plot (assuming Chuuya came up w it) to trick Fyodor Dostoyevsky with fake teeth and contacts and said “sure kiddo, that’s a great idea” and drove them over to the Spirit Halloween

Chuuya probably just wanted to see how long he could fuck with Dazai and Fyodor. Mori knew Soukoku would win no matter what, so he picked the more fun option.

#and once Dazai figured Chuuya out he kept thinking just SHOOT HIM ALREADY #and Chuuya said no I want to shoot you first. several times #bsd #bungou stray dogs #all speculation ofc I have no idea what’s going on

[lottiemilfews]

absolute IDEAL scenario (to me) would be lottie and nat hating each other homoerotically by the end of the season BUT they all need to flee (they sacrifice someone at the compound to save van) (also adam), steal walter's boat or sth and are stuck on there together for the entire next season

#ok what is sexier than two women hating each other in a totally in love with each other way.. stuck in a confined space #like........... my mouth is watering at the thought ksjhfsdfdf #no i would LOVE to see it #not only lottienat ofc but all these women stuck with each other with no men #if walter comes along they eat him after two days #anyways do i tag spoilers for speculations #m.txt #yellowjackets

[12am-motivation]

Aight, so basically... Welcome to the actual Main Story: Hard Mode, ft. unhinged post-war demon brothers and a higher risk of getting harmed 👍

So based on my understanding we, the same MC from the original game, somehow travel back in time to the old Devildom right after the Great Celestial War and we have to reforge our pacts with the brothers in the timeline we got transported into for us to return to the future.

I get that the time travelling part is a way for us to insert ourselves in the timeline we weren't born into but this plot poses some more questions (aside from things like what Beel's secret from Belphie could be):

How do we get transported to the past, especially during the time of the old Devildom? Will this have something to do with Barbatos? (That last part in the OMNB! teaser maybe...)

Is this by accident or on purpose?

Considering that we've been warned before not to interfere with these timelines, why would we have to play therapist again just to get back to the future if they'll eventually have it all sorted out without our help?

What of our role as Lilith's descendant? And what would happen if their post-war selves were to find out?

(And some more probably outdated speculations from a previous post)

Iirc, the brothers have occasionally mentioned how they wished for us to have been present in their past, and now we get to experience that alongside them firsthand.

Could this be some trial on how much we're willing to go through in deepening our bonds with the brothers not just by knowing their past, but by getting to experience it?

Imagine if this were some hardcore Devildom History lesson all along

We still have yet to know the actual involvement of the other side characters in this plot aside from their reactions to the Fall (particularly for the angels), especially Solomon and his relation to the attic.

For Diavolo and Barbatos, we're most likely going to see how the brothers came to be the renowned Avatars of Sin we know them by today. Thirteen and Mephisto seem to have more minor roles, but they're still there.

But Solomon... What else is there to him and how will he take the spotlight this time?

Anyways, I'm excited about this game and I'm hoping that we will be getting news about the game mechanics soon! If OMNB! were really the final product from Ruri Tunes with the character song remixes, *cracks knuckles* I'm more than ready.

#ahhh i got informed a bit late since i don't hang around twt much #it's been pretty busy too #take this rambling with a grain of salt ofc; i'm not really the best at explaining nor speculating #i hope to post more again this coming vacation! #obey me nightbringer #obey me one master to rule them all #obey me shall we date #obey me swd #obey me #おべいみー #mo rambles into the void #haven't proofread this so some stuff probably don't make any sense #queued

good morning fellow clowns. im so glad we didn't collectively alucinate a robert mention in front of aaron last night, because ive been thinking about it and, even though the show's writing still leaves a lot to be desired, i believe the craig plot is actually a really clever way to bring robert back because craig's murder kinda ties in with robert's conviction and the writers can conveniently bring up luke's involvement in lee's death and explain robert's new appeal that will supposedly let him go free years before anyone thought possible.

also, this will probably be unpopular bc chas isnt exactly surrounded by fans right now, but i think it would be an interesting twist (which fits into her need to control aaron and repair their relationship somehow) if the 'safety course' excuse she gave vinny yesterday was actually a cover she used not to hide anything related to craig's murder but rather an attempt to reach out to robert because she knows he might be the only one whom aaron will listen to if he is to quit his current path to self-destruction.

#ofc chas will probably be meddling in charity's business or even lydia's #but i can dream #sorry guys but i love lucy and all her scenes with danny and ryan #robron #emmerdale speculation
