#like they’re so different in energy

Re-Animator and Rocky Horror Picture Show are like if you gave two very different writing teams the same prompt and just set them loose

#like they’re so different in energy #frank n ferter is NOTHING like herb but the set up and the subtext are there #*except that they’re both queer. obvi. #I feel like these movies are adjacent. like they’d make a good double feature #a science fiction double feature to be exact #that said Brad is just Dan with glasses and believe this with all my heart #reanimator #rocky horror #rocky horror picture show #post i made

i feel like i never draw tim smiling but bb robin tim smiles a lot! (in between angst and tragedy)

brought to you by my continued attempts at figuring out tim’s early robin hair

#dc #sart #tim drake #he’s got smug cat energy and i love him #most of these are referencing moments from tim’s earlier appearances which i /tried/ to track down but they’re like scattered across #like 4 different series and bleh #’tec 365-367 does have Batman and robin fight a villain thru the power of Tim’s mad gaming skills while Jim Gordon gets addicted to video #games in the background #ringing in the new year w my boy 😤 #I started this a while ago but got stuck in anatomy hell #are u really an artist if u’ve never stripped downt to ur underwear so u can stand in front of a big mirror #and stare furiously at ur own joints

i love how fraught and complicated discourse around various utena characters ‘dying’ is when anthy is literally stabbed to death eternally by a million swords imbued with human hatred. and then utena gets stabbed to death by them also. like. ‘death’ is incredibly interesting in rgu because most of the time it’s this ambiguous figurative thing that has interesting implications re: ohtori as a closed-off world one can escape. we are all trapped in our coffins. mamiya is the only named character with a grave. nemuro memorial hall functions as one all the same. ruka is implied to have died in the hospital— was he dead all along? who was the boy we saw for these two episodes? is this dead boy the same boy, or is this just another coincidence from the shadow girls, cutting like a knife? it’s heavily implied that akio and anthy murder kanae by poisoning her, adding to the previous implication that they were poisoning mr ohtori too, but there are no perceptible consequences of this. kanae’s absence is not felt. she’s fed an apple slice. what happens to the bodies? we know what happened to the 100 boys, but what about everyone else? and so on and so forth. ‘death’ is a tricky thing in utena, i think it’s constantly functioning on figurative and literal levels in very different ways for very different purposes. dios died. dios was dying. dios didn’t die. he grew up. etc etc

#what am i trying to say here? #idk! think about all of the pieces you have #dying is complicated in ohtori in countless different ways #and i find it boring to see so much ‘this character is dead and that’s it’ stuff #when death is used farrrrrrr more figuratively than some ppl give credit for #and i think the movie too does wonderful things with death #and what ‘dying’ really means #being disbelieved. being forgotten. being rejected. haunting despite this #much more interesting to think about wrt commentary on abusive relationships than it is #to think about what?? oh me when my brother died but plot twist he’s alive and can walk on this road all cool. like????? #akio doesn’t have the power to make himself revenant #he THINKS he does and he absolutely has power when he’s alive and he imbues that power with such meaning that it does live on after him #but ANTHY. anthy is the one struggling with herself and her feelings and the impact of trauma and abuse (that power!!) in aou #he’s dead? he died? she brought him back through her memories? or she’s left him (metaphorical death) and he’s haunting her?? #all such interesting interpretations #i haven’t mentioned touga bc i don’t have the energy today. if dead and just illusion of others memories then why active. why awful #like in aou akio is only Obviously scummy when he’s alive. his illusory self is based upon anthy’s love for him #if anime!touga is nothing more than nanami/whoever’s memories of him before he died……. why does he actively choose to suck again and again #like nanami wouldn’t do that. unless it was meant to be a subconscious thing like ooo he’s dead all along but that’s not what her arc is #it’s not ‘he’s been dead all along’ literally or figuratively. it’s ‘he’s unsafe and i don’t want him’ #sigh. once again i am asking people to think about nanami and touga’s dynamic through touga’s eyes #it’s so interesting to me how people forget to consider his motivations or feelings on ANYTHING #like sure his motivations and feelings are scummy but they’re interesting!!!!! they intrigue me!!!! #compel me even #anyway ignore how i said i didn’t have the energy for this and then typed it all out anyway #dais.txt

Very big believer of Jason leaving Sabo with Bruce to get them to know and like each other.since Sabo is Jason’s romantic partner then there’s nothing wrong with hanging out with your technical son in law.Right? So Sabo becomes Bruce’s temporary assistant in crime fighting in Gotham.

(This image explains my thoughts well.scarily enough.don’t ask where it’s from)

#and with this Sabo learns more of Gotham and how it operates a lot more.he had a good amount of knowledge from Jason. #but seeing how Gotham works inside and out from someone from more experience it can help Sabo paint a better picture on why things are like #this.or it’s probably just me wanting to see a dynamic like this happen that Bruce has to get used to Sabos energy #and how he’s very different from who’s he’s worked with before. #so it’s learning for both of them and how they’re doing this for Jason. #papalote dice cosa #sabo #jason todd #sabo the revolutionary #one piece #jason todd x sabo #bruce wayne #batman #dc #dcu #fanart #artwork #crossover ship #crack ship #art

It makes me really sad to hear Anthony had a hard time with this season of Dungeons and Daddies because of the reception from fans and stuff but I will not stand for his Legend of Korra slander how dare you

(Then again maybe I’m like the only person in the world who loves LoK more than Atla but that’s just me)

#dungeons and daddies #dndaddies #listen I know it’s slander but I love Korra more than avatar for many reasons #and I have thoughts about what I like better about both dndads seasons but they’re so different it’s hard to compare #my absolute favorite npc is from s2 (if you’ve talked to me at all you know exactly who I’m talking about) #also the way I consumed the seasons was different too and I think that’s the same for a lot of fans #s1 I listened to all together but s2 was every other week #def brings a different energy #anyways point is I love legend of Korra

GODDD.

#marzivents #to preface. i am SLIGHTLY buzzed. as in i have had a single mimosa almost an hour ago #today there has been a… weird??? energy with the family?? #my mom and dad are on two different frequencies today but like they’re managing so whatever #my brother and i have been normal i suppose #but we’ve been all together for a little bit to celebrate the new uear and such #clock hits 12. we celebrate. everybody has One mimosa. not a lot at all #that buzz hits me and i’m hanging out. i’m feeling good! #my brother says something or other and we start the motions of one of our go-to sibling disagreements you know the type #and my mother cuts me off says like ‘let’s all relax’ or whatever. i didn’t feel that angry but like?? sure? fine whatever #we stop and i move on. once again not a huge deal to me #then my dad does smth or other. my mom’s been razzing him all day so i decide alright i will also razz him. a little lighthearted teasing #it is NOTHING different from what i normally do. just slightly more frequent #and my dad goes ‘i can’t have an opinion on anything huh?’ and i- committed to the bit- go ‘no <3’ with a smile on my face #like i am simply wanting to fuck around!! the way you do with friends! that is all i am doing! #i get in some other thing with my brother for like .2 seconds before my mom tells us to ‘stop fighting’ again. alright cool #this sort of thing continues. and the air in the room becomes super tense for some goddamn reason??? #eventually my dad heads to the garage and my brother follows. while they’re gone my mom tells me i need to cool it and i’m being aggressive #i???? huh???? what??? #i was gonna turn to HER and crack a joke like ‘how do you get them to understand that loud doesn’t mean angry?’ #because that’s an issue SHE has all the damn time! i was gonna turn to her and bond! but she says that before i can even start to #so my attempt to ease the remaining tension in the room is dead on arrival. in fact the room is even TENSER #maybe it was the champagne or smth but it just fucking got to me. i shut up and turn away and start trying to collect myself #i’m realizing two things. 1- my emotions are less in my control right now and i cannot collect myself here. 2- I Need To Fucking Scream #so i silently pack up and head to my room. my mom knows better and asks no questions #as i was typing this post my brother walks in. i shoo him out without words but he tries to ask questions so i just repeat until he gets it #i feel fucking insane. what the fuck did i DO???? i literally was just fucking razzing. i do that all the time #and sure. i was louder. and yeah it was probably slightly more razzing than i normally would. but i DO NOT FUCKING GET how those two things #would cause as MUCH of a reaction as they did!!! like. i . hello??? #the rest is in the replies bc i am out of tags but i am not out of feelings

i swear every night they get better and better, like they’re the best versions of themselves as they get more confident each night. this isn’t even putting pressure on them. just seeing them slip back into the band so comfortably and happily, just as excited as us, it shows and it’s what makes it so good. their passion is present in every goddamn second.

#like this leg of the tour feels so violently different from the eu leg #and i think its bc of how excited they were to get back on the road again #they’re buzzing with energy #mcr

Wanted to rework my salmonid anatomy so take some variants in the form of my lil guys

#keese draws #splatoon #splatoon oc #salmonid #salmonid oc #the first one (eternity) is very different from any salmonid youd usually see on the surface #the tribe he’s from mostly live in deep sea caverns and the claws they have basically just help them crawl through tight tunnels #valiant is an ex flyfish and as such has fins that can almost operate like fingers #and grit gets to keep basically the same design lol #grit is a smidge bigger than valiant but they haven’t quite hit their full growth spurt yet #rn their body is mostly spending its energy on the whole being gold like a goldie thing #they’re like 14 so they still have a lot of growing to do #valiant is in her 40s she’s just small #eternity is a bit bigger than your average inkling but not by much when hunched on the surface #he is usually partially submerged in ‘ink’ most of the time anyways since he is rly not used to land traversal

the thing about story mediums is that I don’t consider myself having ‘control’ per se over the best medium for a story. if it comes out better in writing that’s how it’s meant to be, if it comes out better in visuals that’s how it’s meant to be. sometimes there’s overlap like drawing comics or writing scenes but there’s A Reason it ends up one way or another. that’s just how the story comes out.

#writing ramble #like night flowers had to be a novella #there was one person who was like ‘this would be great as a comic!!! you could totally do it!!!!’ #and like. I appreciate the energy but it’s not meant to be a comic. #if it was meant to be a comic it would’ve been a comic. #and I don’t even mean in the *~mysterious whims of the craft~* way #1) ljh is a character who is reserved in dialogue and expression #so having prose is helpful for adding to her character through over the shoulder 3rd person pov #what she noticed and where her internal logic takes her #2) this provided a strong contrast to xj’s internal narration #3) the framing device of the prologue and the epilogue (implied to be yp) is stronger through prose rather than visials #the only alternate medium I would accept for night flowers. is a musical. #I am being entirely serious. #and I have specific reasons for that too. #anyway this is partially because someone left a tag about how they’d read a novel of ol isekai which I know is intended as a compliment #but like night flowers. it is what the way it is because the story is more effective in a visual format #(despite me not being. A Polished Manga Artist) #meihui is somewhat similar to ljh because they’re both more reserved #but because of their different characters and different situations meihui’s internal narration is easier to write as a monologue #and someone could argue that could work with first person light novel style writing #but the balance between writing the scene and meihui’s monologue would be way off #comedic beats too. night flowers has comedic beats that work well in prose. ol isekai has comedic beats that work well visually. #basically: IT’S LIKE THAT FOR A REASON!!!!!! #the only alternative I’d accept would be a visual novel #and like. if I was someone else I might be able to write it in a different medium in a satisfactory way #for anyone who might be going like ‘well I can think of how it’d work as a comic/a novel instead’ #I’M NOT YOU!!! #DIFFERENT PEOPLE WILL TELL DIFFERENT STORIES!!!! #WRITE IT YOURSELF THEN!!!!!! ACCEPT MY PROCESS OR LEAVE ME ALONE #legit I’d prefer it if it did work better as a novel because I’m more comfortable writing than drawing

tag ramble pt.1

#so much i feel like i want to say when a lot of this is just two different people who cant mesh and are hitting each other like confused #roomba. #on some level i wish i didnt respond or engage especially at the moment because what i said wasn’t particularly deep and only resulted in #hitting a wound that i already knew was there #i’d like to apologize for that much alone #that it is presumptuous and envasive to have strangers on the internet talk to you like that because yes it does very quickly cross to #feeling like being talked down to #these are people who are entirely self aware of the problems and of course i literally cannot enlighten them to it any further #they just dont care- they’re very tired of their life so far and do not have the time and energy and patience to talk to anyone else #like that. #the way they’ve chosen to fight is negatively. i cant dock someone for making a self conscious choice of how they’re going to behave #especially in the sense of standing up for yourself #i do get the feeling this doesnt serve someone in the long run #you are being spoken to in this way because you are reacting volatily to a random stranger on the internet #because of the way they hit a wound because of how you interpreted what they said #the idea that you’re standing up for yourself and you need to be mean so people dont talk to you in a way you dont like #like the block button isn’t infinitely better for that #to think this is a case of oohh lets all be sooo polite and pure and Correctly Speaking all the time or you’re just a widdle baby #is goofy #it IS reactive and it is volatile! i could have said this in a meaner way rather than politely #and maybe that would have been more easily received in this one case #but there was just acknowledgment of what was actually happening immediately right now in the moment #of course i dont know you and i dont know your life and thats not what this is about #but at the end of the day the question of if this works for you and genuinely serves you then i have absolutely nothing to say or add #that matters. if this is your honest self then everything else is null. you live in the way that serves you because thats literally all we #have #though i doubt that its fulfilling and honest at the end of the day i wont pretend this isnt someone just on one part of their journey #thats plenty farther along than others #and i really hope they are at or get to what serves them entirely

#i started a new job and i already don’t like the vibes #it starts early and it’s super competitive #i haven’t been gendered correctly once #(despite my pronouns being in my zoom name) #it feels like people are going out of their way to gender me wrong #i started with a black guy whose name is similar to (but different from!!!) a much more common name and so many people mispronounce it #(even tho the spelling is different) #everyone thinks they’re so smart and just fucking condescends to me #(i’m obviously learning from them but the way they fucking talk!!) #im just kind of grappling with the fact that this is what my life will look like for the foreseeable future #and it’s making me fucking sad #i was excited to take this job bc it would leave my evenings free for me to do standup more often #but they lied about both the hours and the amount of physical labor involved and i’m worried i won’t have the time/energy to do that either #and if i want another job i have to go through the whole fucking job hunt again which SUCKS #anyways

#im going to crib like always so ignore if you dislike that please #no but the fact that hobi was the most streamed kpop male soloist on spotify is so <3333 plus the most streamed soloist was l*sa and then #he’s next with only a difference of 10M streams or something and that’s when she had so many popular tiktok challenges going on #he could’ve easily crossed that margin was he too properly promoted by his company but alas #im so proud of hobi #but today i realised that majority of this fandom is not going to change #like the fact that none of the big army chart accounts are posting about this because of some drama by jk’s fans #like honestly it’s fine if you wanted jk to be at the top but completely ignoring hobi’s achievements and only posting about l&r’s streams #like…..they are never gonna change #why is this energy only used with hobi ? #for a change saw many big karmy streaming accounts post the tentative streaming playlists for indigo #and once again they didn’t include a single jitb song and rush hour toh they never include only their (when it has been in the top 10 of all #major charts for like more than 2 months now #their logic is that it’s a featuring song but i wonder why this same theory isn’t applied to l&r ?) #well yes so it just proves that they’re going to remain the same and that yesterday’s drama with both the sides blaming e/o was just for a #show #sad #also sad that hobi clearly wanted to tour wanted to perform on stages i mean he clearly said it in his live and yet not one big account is #talking about it #how he was wronged #what will they achieve by defending bh sm ill never understand #ANYWAYS HOBI DID SO WELL AND WE SHALL ALWAYS BE HAPPY FOR HIM even if others aren’t ! #and just the fact that despite of all this chaos he managed to top like yaaas that’s jhope and his power !!!

IT’S FISH DAY IT’S FISH DAY IT’S FISH DAY

#Seven.txt #fish stuff #vibrating with excitement #and also nervous energy and sleep deprivation but it’s fine cause ITS FISH DAY BABEY #i’m sitting outside waiting on them and i /had/ another package with snails coming today as well #and i was typing up a post like ‘let’s see which one gets here first. the snails or the fish?’ #cause they’re coming from two different carriers y’know #but the snails literally got here while i was typing that post so uh. the snails won the race lmao #anyways i am exhausted and anxious out of my mind cause the stakes are pretty high with these fish #and i’ve averaged about 4hrs of sleep this week #and you’d know how bad that is if u knew that my depressed ass can easily sleep for 12-16 hrs if i’m allowed to #not that that’s good either but. 4hrs is NOT enough for me friends #i am. running on pure distilled nervous energy rn #but i’m still excited don’t get me wrong. i just hope everything goes well and they aren’t too stressed or beat up from the shipping #wish me well that i don’t fuck things up!!! #i have like. a number of years of experience to fall back on but i am still always learning and i’m nervous every time i get new fish #anyways. the guilt of all the messages and comments i’ve gotten lately that i haven’t replied to is eating me alive :) #and it makes me feel bad for posting things on my socials whenever i have any un-replied to messages #cause i don’t want people to think i’m ignoring them!!! i’m just so busy rn!!! and it’s less effort to type out a lil post like this #versus sitting down and thinking of the good genuine thoughtful responses that i wanna give to people #especially when i like. can’t think straight rn. about anything other than keeping these fish alive #so. that will be my full day today but once things calm down and everyone’s hopefully settled in tomorrow #i can finally start working on replying to everything #okay enough rambling. back to staring at the fields and waiting #at least the weather’s nice. and i’m sitting in the golf cart so i’m in the shade #which is good cause i’m wearing a hoodie over a shirt and long pants #and i’ve got a coffee and music playing. now if i could just chill out everything would be great #but knowing myself I Will Not

[ectoplasmer]

actually no I think it’d be really funny if my hs s/i and my ygo s/i switched places

#nervous high energy vs nervous low energy #furthermore #external awkwardness vs internal awkwardness #if we’re talking like. actually switching them and not just having a personality swap #i don’t think having a 16-year-old technical god stuck on a blimp with eight other 16-year-olds is a good idea lol #i mean. not too much different from the meteorite >_> #she would probably only know bare basics about this series because of memes and/or whatever dave references #creates plants to attempt to ‘shield’ people from attacks during duels out of habit. oops #everyone being injured by shadow games has a reliable (?) doctor (??) at least!! #watch as she becomes even more visibly a mess when they don’t immediately get back up though #i don’t. even wanna think about her interactions with yb or ym AGSJDHDJ #gets approached and just makes a series of incomprehensible nerve wracked noises. she’s fine. ignore the randomly sprouting flowers #ghostie would be the only mortal human on the meteor and. tbh. that worries me #LIKE i’m sure dave and rose would have at least some sort of idea on how they both got swapped #so they’d probably help and protect her if need be #sure the trolls are also mostly mortal but they’re aliens and have higher tolerance #lol just. gets carried around when they need to fly somewhere afshdg #going into the dream bubbles and having a moment where she has to just sit and watch all the other dead players #like oh. she isn’t the only one who can see them now. hm #dave would probably ask her to explain how to play duel monsters and she would try to be all humble about it but #secretly she’s happy she actually gets a chance to win now >:3 #her and rose are busy discussing lovecraft u_u #i want to talk about my hs s/i sooo bad but i don’t know how to without explaining all of homestuck lol #delete later #s/i: ghostie #s/i: AG

as someone who’s been here since 2010-2011, I actually don’t trust anyone who tries to say the rpc is better than ever.

#vague cw / #this is NOT about my moots I love y’all #like we’ve certainly moved past certain problematic practices in terms of characters and fcs and other mechanics #but in terms of the SOCIAL? the anxiety is so real because the energy has been vile for a WHILE #it’s so hard to just be silly without feeling judged and it’s even harder to get invested in things in the current climate #individuals are often treated like they’re disposable in such a weird way and the oppressive self consciousness of it all is so overwhelming #clique culture hasn’t disappeared it’s evolved #there’s a difference between a friend group and a clique and it’s easy to tell which is which
