this is all I can muster right now, too busy having my brain absolutely melted by the September schedule, what is happening

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with stitch #so if i understand this correctly the next episode 7 bit is dropping in like a WEEK?! #and this is just going to be happening during the extra stitch pickup?! #i thought it was weird that they were doing such a long post-event pickup I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS #and they just snuck that little announcement in there before the absolute madness of OH YEAH AND NON-NRC GUYS CAN HAVE CARDS TOO NOW #the POSSIBILITIES this opens up #i did not think i would be so glad not to get a new episode 7 card but i need these keys for my second chance at masquerade malleus #and this is before we even know anything about the new halloween event except for johnny honestman and gidenyan #or the details on the platinum birthday cards #twst please you CAN'T do this to me #by which i mean yes please keep doing this i am loving every second of it

can't fool him

#a doodley #he's so mean to smunker sometimes #also i feel ive been writing a lot of Few Words Talon lately i promise he Still Talks #this specifically is a result of. i feel once he starts feeling intensely toward smunker and cow al #(not even specific Positive emotion just Emotions Intensely) he's fond of kissing but kind of just launches onto you w.o warning #so they tell him to have some tact and he doesnt like that #most he does is basically announce he's going to kiss you bc its not a question either #single word because its stupid you're even making him do that #and he won't repeat himself. you must be trying to humiliate him. #and of course he wont ASK for affection OR permission to have it. this is why he just Takes It. you must be stupid.

so i was complaining talking to my dad about the suffering that is the renewal void, and he agreed that it would be a bit nonsensical for max to-

push physical merch on their site

create a bunch of custom icons for users on their site

put so much effort into marketing s2, to the point of putting spots on tv, hanging up gigantic billboards, and spreading teasers all across social media

-if they had no intention to see the show all the way through.

which was ✨validating✨ coming from an outside party, because it's something i've been thinking this whole time. now, granted, i don't trust streaming services, and stranger things have happened, buuuuut idk. it really seems like there's a part of them that realizes ofmd is a large, important property to them, but we shall seeeeeee,,,

#OFMD #OFMD Season 3 #Revenge Rambles #The Art of Clownery #anyway see y'all on jan 1st lmao 🤡 #but CLOWNERY aside #if not then...then when i wonder? #will it just be a random announcement like good omens? #or will they wait to attach it to something again like they did with pride/s2? #i would HOPE they wouldn't drag this out all the way to june #because that would mean we probably wouldn't get s3 until late 2025 #if not early 2026 #which...L M A O #((then again i would indeed graciously wait if we were indeed settled into our final season but o m g those dates don't even seem REAL)) #it would just be nice if they announced in the first part of 2024 #started filming shortly thereafter #and were able to give it to us by like...early-mid 2025 #but who knows man WHO KNOWS MAN #what if...what if Valentine's Day Part 2: Electric Boogaloo JSDKJSDKL

Taking the train is so fucking great! I've barely been on it for 30min and I've already seen a bunch of geese and deer and a heron!

#Love that it's called heron in English it sounds so noble. the German word is 'Reiher' #and the verb 'reihern' means 'to throw up' #also this is the connection that goes through the Oberpfalz and Vogtland and I love that connection #just gorgeous views from the train #also I'm not taking the Oberpfalzbahn but if I was that would also mean the occasional announcement in czech which is also fun #still fascinated that regional trains can do that and even throw in English for good measure but for some reason for the db #this is fully beyond their abilities in a eurocity #like the Oberpfalzbahn doesn't even cross the border at any point the EC starts to get operated by db in Děčín #and then you get one more professional pre-recorded čd message and then it jumps straight into #'Sehrgeehrtedamenundherren Ichheißesieherzlichwillkommenimec174richtungberlinviadresden #Dasteamderdeutschenbahnwünschtihneneineangenehmefahrt' with pauses only to breathe and enough background noise to make it #completely incomprehensible #in the certified db announcement cadence #you know the one

the thing is, like, imogen is blunt, and indecisive, and impulsive. she's cynical, angry at the world, and seemingly much less interested in doing good than in holding on to her loved ones. she's hypocritical, incredibly violent one moment and horrified at the prospect the next. she's passive aggressive, on occasion. she's overly critical. she's scatterbrained.

and all of that stuff is very fucking fascinating, and so fun to watch, and core to what makes her her. but not only are those things not the totality of imogen as a character, they're very much inextricable from the things that make her sympathetic.

imogen has spent much of the last decade of her life in pain, and isolated because of it. when she wasn't alone she couldn't relax, having to keep tight control over her mind so as to not get overwhelmed or invade the privacy of others. because even through all that pain and loneliness, she still bore the responsibility not to impose on other people's minds. and when she fails or slips up or gives in, all of the distrust and suspicion she recieves regardless is suddenly viewed as justified.

which is not to say imogen is not responsible for her actions, or the harm she causes others. of course she is! no one is saying she isn't! but, just like literally every other person, her actions don't exist in a void but within the context of both her past and present.

analyzing that context and coming up with explanations of her behavior that consider it is not excusing her actions or refusing to acknowledge her flaws. it is not coddling imogen to sympathize with her even when she's fucking up. these are pretty standard ways to discuss a character you enjoy actually! it's weird that having a nuanced perspective on a character's actions is being treated as an issue!

#imogen temult #critical role #cr #i mean. to get into it a little bit. one benefit of this approach to character analysis is that it often gives you takes that feel #much truer to the text than “imogen speaks into people's heads to manipulate them and she was the one who abandoned her dad” which. how #to get into it even more its so fun that the “not being hypercritical of imogen is sexist actually” discourse is happening mere days after #the “anyone questioning orym's decisions clearly hates him and liam and also conflict and flawed characters in general” discouse. lol #if laura had given a monologue announcing “imogen has seen the cycle of harm and is choosing to perpetuate it” i wld talk abt that too. btw #were i without a massive headache i would devote more attention to anticipating and responding to counterarguments #but we're just gonna have to take the “if you get it you get it” route on this and release this post like a wild animal into a crowded room #ok bye. actually i have an imodna specific followup but then bye. #long post / #CRposting

ngl i’m still worried. like i Do have complete faith in ncuti gatwa but what i Don’t have is much faith at all in rtd’s writing about race

#which id managed to sort of convince myself was maybe #it’s been like 15 years he’s had time to learn better #but the comment Immediately about ‘different colors’ in todays ep #and w the toymakers past. #i’m hoping for the best i really actively am but i’m hesitant #not even writing about race just writing that has anything to do w it #i will never forgive him for martha jones #and my cynicism is saying bringing dt back for three eps and specifically being pretty good about trans people and disabled people #is a good favor investment so he can keep a progressive image and get away w racism #i don’t actually believe that for the record #i’m just worried ncuti gatwa is gonna have to deal with Some Bullshit that’s gonna get blamed on him instead of rtd yk #which is bad for him bc it means a bad working environment and also like. taking the blame for something he didn’t even do #or that if he pushes back on something bad he’ll get branded as difficult to work with etc #anyway. worry once suffer twice or whatever and i think i said all this when the announcements were made #it’s just on my mind again #i want the best for the show and the people making it yk?

YOOOO! HazbinHotel Trailer just Drop!😱 Spoilers Along with the Release date of Season 1 and 2! Let Us know your Opinion about it!😆

Some things we know:

Amazon Prime is the streaming service that took it up Season 1 will be released in January 2024

It's going to get a season 2

The voice actors still haven't been announced for some reason? The trailer has no dialogue on top of that. We see Lucifer, a lot of Alastor and Vox fighting, the weird demon-looking angel Adam, a meeting of Hell overlords discussing the angel threats, and Sir Pentious is part of the gang now. That's about it? The trailer's music reminds me of a Disney movie for kids. There are a lot of Tinkerbell chime noises and jazzy upbeat music which I don't think is fitting for what the show is trying to go for as a teen-to-adult plot regarding demons from Hell being murdered and dealing with abuse. (They have "Guess what, bitches?" on a text screen in the trailer too) So first impression is extreme overcrowding. List of characters that appear in the trailer alone: Charlie Alastor Vaggie Angel Dust Husker Niffty Sir Pentious Lucifer Lilith Vox Velvet Adam Rosie and we all know Cherri Bomb and Valentino are gonna show up too. These are way too many characters to introduce or juggle in an 8 episode season. There is no possible way to give our main characters enough screen time, focus, or development to make them meaningful protagonists. They either have to rush plots or drop character arcs to squeeze things into 8 episodes.

#really confused and surprised theres a season 2 announced when season 1 hasnt even been released yet #but it is A24 so maybe theyre more willing with their money than netflix or disney #im confused as to why it was announced as soon as the writers strike ended #because season 1 was finished and it was nothing but streaming service deals and PR team stuff happening at that point #so i dont think that is hte reason #it had to have been a streaming service deal still being refined #i just dont see anything meanful in the announcement trailer so #we'll have to wait for the official one #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel critical #im kinda sad that im not excited anymore #i waited years for this series #but after helluva boss season 2 #ive kinda learned what to expect and i dont think its gonna be any good #especially because it breaks a ton of religious lore rules #and that means the world building is gonna be a mess #watch charlie vaggie and niffty get no development #everyone is still also very very red #the thumbnail alone... who are we meant to focus on? #im so tired

i have a special place in my heart for "show don't tell" storytelling, especially in comic books. comics are a visual medium!

#tim drake #jack drake #comic ref in description #this is the last panel of the comic #and something i really like about it is that i feel like... it has a certain amount of respect for the reader? #you might not notice/get the irony of the batsignal showing up behind them #and the way the batsignal foreshadows that actually this /isn't/ a resolved happy ending #because the conflict between bruce and jack - and more directly between tim's values/priorities vs. his dad's - #hasn't actually been resolved even though they're both sorry and hugging #which means the conflict will inevitably occur again and again and again #which is a very clever grace note here #but if you don't notice that's okay! the comic isn't panicking trying to spell it out for you #if you catch it it's fine and if you don't catch it that's also fine #it has something that i really like about a lot of older comics and sometimes find missing in new ones (at least the ones abt the blorbos) #which is that it assumes that the /readers/ can realize things abt the situation that the /characters/ don't #i read both tim and his dad as both perfectly sincere in this reconciliation - they're caught up in the moment #and physically neither of them can see the batsignal #but we-the-readers can see both the batsignal and the looming future conflicts it implies even though they don't #the narrative isn't telling you what to think! no character emerged to announce 'But In Fact Tim You Still Have A Problem!' #instead the artist has just left the batsignal there and let you make the obvious inferences ON YOUR OWN #similarly in nightwing 110 (another one of my favorites) there's a conversation between dick and tim where they're both lying #if you're only a nightwing reader you know dick is lying but you probably won't figure out that tim is lying (or at least not the extent) #but if you /do/ read tim's comics then you understand what's going on in a way that neither of the characters do #there's just a general understanding that the characters are not fully self-aware nor do they perfectly understand each other #plus the gradual / slow-build / layered conflict #tim's mixed loyalties between bruce and his dad are a constant background slow burn tension #dick's complicated feelings about loving tim but also feeling a little threatened by him are also a low-key thread in the nightwing comics #the writers don't need to have a surprise! sudden! fight! nor do they need all-fluff-all-the-time #instead these tensions are mostly dormant except when they get exacerbated by extreme situations #there are plenty of things that 90s comics do *not* handle well but the character voices and longform style always draw me back <3

Stargate SG-1 is so good. I love it so much 🥺

#might spam you over the week. i think i'll use it to get a distance from snw for a while #i mean i'll watch the kirk-uhura episode on friday but maybe kirk will disappoint me and since the episode after is the xover #i might just... wait until the season is finished or something #(i mean i don't think kirk will disappoint me since the bits in the trailers sounded good... but you never know lol) #it's not that season 2 is bad but i want less spock and i don't think that's happening any time soon #hopefully he won't really have a big role in uhura's episode but then again they might finally introduce him and uhura and the lute who even #knows #which is obviously what i have wanted ever since the announcement but me and spock have a complicated relationship atm lol #i should forget about spock #i hope the transporter scene with kirk and la'an is happening #i hope that kirk's smile when he beams aboard is aimed at la'an #even if that was the only scene they'd share in that episode i'd be content #but the trailer could lie to me #even though so far the trailers actually delivered what was 'promised' #in s1 they felt more misleading but this time what i thought was happening in the trailers happened in the show so far #anyway #stargate is good :D #leni's nonsense

squints suspiciously at the next event's silhouettes devs, if that really is yakumo... DON't make me tap the sign.....😒..........

#wise words from the maw of the requiodilificus. 😞👏🙌 #i have speculations. observations. considerations even. #i wonder what the devs will do... honestly did NOT expect yaku to be in this event but. those ankles. that lack of leg muscle #even MORE surprised that kuya doesn't seem to be SSR in this event???? i mean he's been popping in and out in minor roles #like the event SR and his speshul role as chancellor in the last event #but before they even announced the silhouettes i thought #if there's no kuya SSR this time the kuya fans are gonna riot and feast on our bones #oh.... well dang. ok. the next kuya event's gotta be a really special just-for-foxy-him time then. #BUT THAT MEANS..... THIS EVENT PROBABLY ISN'T YAKUYA #*falls to my knees* MY VISION!! MY HOPES!!!!! DANGLED IN FRONT OF ME AND CRUELLY SNATCHED AWAY #i'm sure i'll have a fun time regardless of who's featured in this event but #MY STUPID FOXSNAKE STICK EM IN A BOX AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS SCENARIO. SO CLOSE!!! SO!! CLOSE!!!!!!!! #cries gently into the hardwood floor #gonna have to wait an entire 'nother character rotation before the chances of them aligning happen again...... #i'll be in the imaginarium. conjuring scenarios. the interactions can at least be official IN MY MIND #yakumo

[true-bluesargent]

they should have cancelled the shadow and bone show back when it came out that they made inej's stunt double do brownface. why the fuck did we just let that fade into obscurity

#anti sab #shadow and bone #just remembered that! #so fucked up... #realistically it was never a good adaptation even when they announced the casting even when the first trailers came out like #it was never good we were just trying to be open minded and we were excited 😭 #by we i mean me and poppy obviously

[dynamitekansai]

Momo being used as a 'if you live, you pass' rookie meter never stops being funny.

#i still remember all the replies of 'momo please dont kill her' when sayas match was announced lmao #she wasnt even a heel yet #which is why i love her #shes just a very fun mean asshole #shes funnier for a brutal debut than utami or giulia bc they still give a sense of 'im harsh for your own good' #while momo just thinks murder is fun #anyway i still need you to give her all the belts rossy #the red one give her both goddess belts all 3 artists belts idc she deserves them

[kinos-fortress-2]

#when i mean dont reblog is bc hell dont even know if i want to change this designs later #but im gonna leave it open JUST FOR ME TO REBLOG IT if i ever make any announcement about this #this couldve been an idea for halloween tho... #you know this was inspired by those halloween ugly stickers i have found somewhere and well... i like to do this type of style #so idk if i should continue this style buak #also im not sure if i should color this or not... if i should then thats gonna be more difficult buak #i am doing too much to myself i cant finish everything i have... is too much ideas im gonna explode #i just want to draw everything my brain thinks so instead of killing myself drawing i have to write the ideas in my note pad so i dont forg #i feel like a hermit drawing too much sighs... i should take a break is too much ideas #but if i do i will end in an artblock and im afraid of that #sorry ranting over here ha #just lemme know if you do like it or nah still

#like he is getting so BRAVE #in the first episode he covered the cost of someone else’s paper just to avoid confrontation #and Justin had to goad him into even telling a random person on the street news he thought was important #but now he’s punched fight in the stomach #and has announced himself to the city #and called out the mayor while doing it #I love this growth for him #and for Elias honestly #I mean like Ivanna said it seems like he’s been a wuss for a while #dimension 20 #d20 #d20 mentopolis #mentopolis #mentopolis spoilers #mentopolis grappling with death #grappling with death #conrad shintz #alex song xia #live reaction
