i hate how commodity and capitalism has ruined so much storytelling . i hate how sequels and prequels and whatever else all ring like merch sales; i hate that i as an author have to include any social media following i have as a marketable trait; i hate that everything feels like a xerox of a copy of a dream of a memory.
i hate that my nostalgia has been turned into profit. i hate that companies fear consumer backlash so no real commentary may be made; i hate that companies care more about quantity over quality. i hate that so many artists and creators are being overworked to the point of complete collapse rather than being allowed to tell the story their way. i hate that every point of representation has to be fought for. i hate it i want us all to go back to living in a cave .
when you sit with friends over a bonfire and the night is getting long and people start telling this slow, almost hypnotic story - in this quiet voice, like they don't expect you to listen while they say the most fucked up shit you've ever heard - that is storytelling. who cares if the punchline is car hand hook door. storytelling has always been about community, about us all sitting in the dark, choosing to fill the silence while the last embers are dying. we forgot that storytelling is spellwork. hallucinating together, our breaths held, waiting for the ending we already knew was coming.

‘carthago delenda est’ okay but consider that in 2000+ years someone is going to want to draw some comics and I don't have the prerequisite skills to do architectural reconstructions

been followin slimes POV of the qsmp since it started but mMY GOOOODDDDD i never expected to fall so in love with it...
I LOVE THE TRADGEDY OF A COMEDIC CHARACTER! so funny so silly, who could ever take him seriously? when the reaction to grief can be so overblown and strange, its hard not to laugh! because wheres the line, really? we're just here to have fun!
i look forward to the day this guy snaps! its gonna be REALLY FUNNY i tell ya hwat!!!
(CREDIT TO A COMIC I REFERENCED UNDER THE CUT)
something about this comic makes me so so emotional, and its so well framed. to discover something by the end of a comic, to follow the same line of thought as a character within a drawing, to either come to the same conclusion, or the dramatic irony of figuring it out first.
it was made by the talented Lynda Barry, and she has a wonderful shop here https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/greatest-marlys/

damn in the absolute worst case scenario (unlikely) I'm also on cohost now (@/b4kuch1n if the link don't work). otherwise I'm baku_of_healthy on ig and still @/B4KUCH1N on twitter. but they will, in fact, have to surgically remove me from the walls of this site if they want me to pack it in before it literally vanishes from thin air
anyways

Lmao as a non-avatar enjoyer i checked out the trailer and that shot of the lava island 🙂🙂 I feel like if they wanted to re-adapt the series they could just animate the show in the superior animation style of korra (like they tried with sailor moon but lmao. Emphasis on tried) and I’d probably tune in but this half baked cgi 🥴
Right??? If they really really thought ATLA needed an update for the new generation (which it really does not but let's imagine only perfect faultless animation is allowed in the 20s) they literally had the best studio to re animate it already on their payroll. High fantasy ALWAYS looks better animated and that goes TWICE AS HARD for kids' shows which already require lots of suspension of disbelief. I can't believe I see that stupid burned forest scene all over my social media with ppl yelling how good it looks DO YOU HAVE EYES IT LOOKS LIKE AN UGLY BLOB OF CGI

In 1999, the speedster known as The Flash began fighting crime in Central City, Oregon, combining the inspiring presence and gentle demeanor of Superman with the facts-driven and logical mind of Batman.
Later that same year, Coast City, California would get its own hero in the Green Lantern, a cocky man who claimed to be an officer from an intergalactic peacekeeping force assigned to this sector of space.
2003 would see the appearance of the Green Arrow, a Robin Hood-like figure who would target and expose corrupt officials in Star City, Washington and surrounds.
Though not as notable as The Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, the three Heroes of the West Coast would be instrumental and important in the Silver Age of Superheroes.
