There's a lot of new media I'm interested in that came out this week, and I'm not gonna get through it all. And that's ok.

#media #i know all these were done or basically done before the writers strike but with all this and everything on my to watch/read/listen list #its really funny to think that lack of new stuff would phase people #the barbie movie #harley quinn #my adventures with superman #good omens 2 #miraculos ladybug #the dragon prince #futurama

I think it's so funny when people draw Merlin characters with stuff like top surgery scars because it carries the implication that Gaius is a leading medieval gender confirmation surgeon

#mine #merlin #gaius has so many hormone potions #he's like yeah this is science btw #like i just have some remedies and simple procedure for you #no sorcery involved #okay maybe a little sorcery bc surgery is not quite what it should be but hush #dont tell the king #merlin shows up with crazy amounts of magic and teen angst #and Gaius just sighs and is like #listen #i can help you with at least one of your woes #let's get you to your transition goal af #Merlin's like dead tired from his new job and the dragon chatting his ear off all night #but is like #yeah alright #magic anesthesia time #gaius #famous for the invention of hrt #swore off sorcery but can still perform a mean top surgery #Uther's chill with it #as long as his kids experiment with thejr genders and not spells #no spell #only testosterone gell #lmoa

dragons rising really went "so what if we fucking nail every character and make every character fucking rule and introduce a bunch of new characters and oh here's kai just getting the best characterization in years/fucking ever. like man kai deserves some time so let's just make him the best. here's all the depth to kai that you've been imagining for the past decade. just for you" and then i'm supposed to be normal about it

also the fact that he made this big sacrifice, telling bonsel to close the portal, and nobody even gets to know he willingly sacrificed himself this time. cuz they couldn't hear him.

oh and here's a kai and nya kid flashback go cry about it

last season we had a kid lloyd flashback. any bets on kid jay, cole, or newly built zane flashbacks?

#ninjago dragons rising #dragons rising spoilers #ninjago spoilers #ninjago dragons rising spoilers #ninjago masters of spinjitzu #cole was great this season #so was zane #and arin and sora had cool arcs #but holy shit kai #he has been consistently stealing the show this season #that scene with wyldfyre #all the scenes with wyldfyre #the fact that he referenced his time mourning nya #how he is still profoundly stupid and weird and cringe and lame #but also so fuckin cool and loving and caring about everyone #he loves his family so much #he's really good at what he does! #this isn't the kai that falls apart with anger #this is the kai that still gets fucking angry and frustrated #but then listens to his family and deals with it #kai ninjago #kai smith #cole has my whole heart but kai #kai is special to me #they all are to be fair #anyway i liked the new season #pacing was wonky but the quality was consistently good with fun jokes and cool animation and scenes #i like it a lot #i wanna work for lego one day #that would be nice

Tbh dark in here is the ideal mountain goats album because you can either listen to it and really connect with the despair OR in a better mood it can just be a crazy series of adventures that happened to some guys! CANNOT say the same about ie transcendental youth which you basically have to listen to in the worst year of your life or beat the champ, which is a great time with only minor notes of dread and nostalgia. Idk I just think dark in here hits the sweet spot of that post-goths vibe where it's moody and atmospheric with a real sense of pathos but it's fundamentally a set of sff stories about some characters

#would have to listen to jenny from thebes again before i decide how it fits into this #i listened to it on the highway during a rainstorm so aside from a few bits of compelling imagery i didn't hear any of that #but i think my ranking for the past 10 years of albums is like. hmmm. faves to least faves: #dark in here beat the champ bleed out songs for pierre chuvin jenny from thebes goths in league with dragons #it gets harder if we go back further than that so for the sake of everyone here i won't #we could be here all day #anyway how are we feeling about the new album guys??

an upside-down truth / a fallen star

#the dragon prince #tdp #aaravos #gif #aquanutart #hi i would like to thank everyone who said on my last pic 'i am reblogging this for the puffballs' #as well as 'your tags have murdered me' etc #truly made the whole experience worthwhile. i still can't tell if anyone got the joke but i no longer care #next in our series of 'it's 2022 why don't you make a brush' i should really make a star brush #instead of sitting there going dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot ... #even traditional art has a shortcut method for this (it's called putting masking tape on everything and then: splatter) #(advisable to do this first before drawing anything else...) #the good thing is it doesn't actually take a long time to do the dot dot dots it's just kind of repetitive #and you get bored and start writing about it in your tags and then it takes longer because you're not working #i listened to the ff8 soundtrack while making this #i had actually planned to listen to the triple triad music the entire time but #it turned out i couldn't take it for several hours #even though i quickly realized my mistake i ended up having triple triad stuck in my head the whole time anyway. i did this to myself #anyway i was determined to finish this before season 4 dropped #because i also had the idea three years ago and i need to post it before the new season possibly makes it obsolete #threw a wrench into my own schedule by deciding at the last minute that i needed to animate it and i don't know how to animate #then tdp kind of also threw a wrench by releasing the first episode a week early but it's okay i'm still basically in time #i'd personally like it if aaravos were someone who warps and twists the truth and/or has a warped perspective rather than outright lying #i'm convinced there's a meaning to the upside-down star arcana and maybe rotating the key of aaravos can unlock something ?? #saying this suddenly gave me flashbacks to the rotation keys in skyward sword rofl what if he's being held in prison #by his own startouch marking being upside-down because it's out of alignment with the universe or something #TWO MORE DAYS let's GO i've been waiting three years to have my theories blown apart

with the realms fused now i really wanna see people from the new realms have a certain level of fear and respect for ninjago´s individuals, especially if theyre from the city

bc after years of constantly being terrorized and threathened with world ending events and invasions, these guys are some of the sturdiest and unhinged around, they look harmless and dont generally have special abilities compared to other races, but anything you wanna hit them with, theyve probably seen worse of, and theyll use literally any method to make sure they come out on top

humans are space orcs type of vibe lol

#once again projecting stuff ive used for ocs onto the ninjago blorbos haha #ninjago #dragons rising #listen ninjago has probably experienced about a decade of constant death threats by now at least #a *decade* do you hear me??? the younger generation doesnt even remember the world being any different; theyre down to throw hands #anyways #the news never sleeps lives rent free in my head

I'm piggybacking a bit off of the last ask of asking for writing tips but I have an odd question... Am I the only person that struggles actually PICKING a book? It's the absolute bane of my existence because I feel like I can be so picky... Don't get me wrong, I love being a bookworm, and I'm trying to get back into reading physical books but it's so difficult to find a real taste of what the book is like without being completely spoiled or something... I miss when backs of books had an actual summary and not just NO.1 NEW YORK BESTSELLER!!!! It's so frustrating... I've been trying to get back into it by re-reading fond chapter childhood books read to me (The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane & A Wrinkle In Time). But at the same time I'm also trying to get into more "adult" books that isn't... Well, you try googling "adult books" and see how that goes, I didn't think too hard about what a poor decision THAT was. But I'm working up the courage to read Cat's Cradle right now to start with "Classic Authors" I guess!

Anyway I'm rambling here, I guess my question is... How do you pick out the books you read? I don't really have friends that read many books to recommend to me :')

Thank you in advance, Bog! I hope you get a callback from that interview soon!

no ok actually you've mentioned something that's been bothering me for a while - What The Hell Do Y'all Mea, Books Don't Have Summaries Anymore???? i have not once in my life found a book that didn't have a summary. i was in barnes & noble recently and everything i looked at had a summary. i have literally never seen a book without one in my life of reading & looking at new books on a regular basis

softcovers have theirs on the back. hardcovers are on the inside of the sleeve - lift the cover and it should be printed right there on the inside flap! summaries aren't legally required but both the author and Especially the publisher(s) know that no one's gonna buy a book without a summary. trust me, all books worth reading have a summary. if a book doesn't have one, it's probably not worth your time anyway. you just gotta know where to look!

so my answer to how i choose books... i read the summary lmao. if it seems interesting, ill either write it down to get later or ill get it there and then.

Before the summary though, i look for any titles that jump out at me from the shelf. then i look at the thickness. i like a bit of meat in my literature, so i tend to shy away from thinner books. thicker ones grab my attention more easily. then i look at the cover - if it interests me, then ill read the summary. i don't have specific tastes in title or cover. as long as it makes my brain "hm" thoughtfully, ill take a gander!

and really, if you have access to a bookstore (chain or not, ive found plenty of bangers in tiny used bookshops) or library, the best way to find a book is to physically browse. even if you dont buy anything, you can take pictures of books / write them down to buy online. but going to the store lets you search them out, examine the length, cover, title, summary - and easily put it back on the shelf or keep it. i hate shopping online bc there's ads, you can't examine the product, nothing really stands out since it's all portrayed similarly, there's limited pictures instead of the physical thing, and photos can lie.

plus, everything is (typically) meticulously sorted by genre & age range. when you go into a section with literature aimed at adults, you'll find exactly that instead of smut novels lmao. real life bookstores can be more accurate than online searches. & there's just something so good about walking through shelves, searching for that one book before you know it exists, smelling the paper... yeah...

#like for example i recently bought priory of the orange tree #ive been wanting it for a while and havent read it yet since im finishing something else #BUT! i remember when i first saw it #nothing had gotten my attention for a while #but then i saw the thickest fucking book ive seen in ages - which was automatically very sexy of it #and then the title was unique - priory of the orange tree??? whoah! what the fuck does that mean!!! #so automatically there was the interest of neat title + a new word that i get to learn + the implications of the word now that i understand #and then i picked the book up and it was deliciously heavy - & there was a Dragon on the cover. which. YES PLEASE #then the summary was fascinating!! the book was immediately seared into my brain! im very excited to read it #so thats a highly successful example of my book choosing Process #it checked all of my boxes so it was a win #most books dont check all of my boxes but as long as it hits most of them im down to clown yk yk #but yeah im picky too so! nothing wrong with being picky or having high standards! #rambles from the bog #my shelves are fuckin Full of books ranging from 'it was ok' to 'I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL WHO WILL LISTEN' #and then i have a drawer filled with books that i just could not care less about / dont like #but dont have the heart to throw away bc. well putting a book in the trash kills a part of my soul #i need to donate them... #but yes! i hope that helps! #and Thank You! i hope i get a callback as well...
