Some of y'all will call Joseph Campbell a little bitch, then turn around and act like TV Tropes has cracked a universal code underlying all human expression.
is your house (or apartment, or rv, or a house you really like from down the street, or a house from a story) haunted? do you wish it was? for a small fee, i'll put ghosts in it for you!
i'm trying out a google form for commissions this time around rather than a first-come-first-serve model. this form will be open for a limited time. probably till around the end of may. i'll have a handful of commission slots to begin with, and i'll pull from the form response pool once more slots start opening up.
want a haunted house? fill out the form here! (reblogs are super appreciated to spread the word! 🫀)
The frustrating part about conversations like "should people with self-harm scars warn others before showing off their body?" and conversations like it is how nobody would tell me that my scars are obscene or should be hidden despite, literally, being self-harm scars. They just do not know because people literally do not know what self-harm scars are and what self-harm is.
Our bodies are not vulgar or gross. We deserve to live our lives, and if our scars make you uncomfortable, we can be compassionate about that, but that doesn't mean that our bodies are Bad and should be Locked Away. Treat us like we belong, because we do.
Not sure if this theory makes any sense at all but I'm starting to believe that there's no time skip between Wally's phone calls and what we see/hear in the show's Media/Merchandise. If we see the Toyland call being made before the Homewarming episode then it would make sense that Wally's expecting Barnaby to come over soon. As well as the Homewarming sketch from the prior update. (I don't know, still kind of brainstorming this perspective)
that theory Does make sense and i've been considering it! the "timeline" is such a nebulous thing right now because we still... don't really know! there are too many variables and too many Maybes for any solid answer.
maybe the reality that the neighbors live in exists outside of time like you say, and like half of me suspects. there's so much reality fuckery already present, but I'm also... unsure of how much merit this holds given what we know / can infer about how time passes in Home. i'm putting this theory on a low shelf to look at but not prioritize
maybe it really has been 50 years, and Barnaby is either still around / Wally is still in contact with him, or Barnaby... isn't there. who knows, maybe Wally was just verbalizing some Wishful Thinking. i mean, Wally is a bit of an unreliable narrator, isn't he? we can't assume that everything he says is entirely accurate or truthful. and i mean, if it's been 50 years it makes sense that Wally would be pushing for connection / to revive WH. who knows how long he's been trying.
hm... i mean. it could be a mix of that and the Outside Of Time theory. who knows, maybe W is receiving calls from different points in the timeline - Wally may have started out just calling, and has just graduated to invading the WH website / getting pushy with the envelopes and media that's been sent to the WHRP. maybe Wally got tired of waiting for W to respond before W was even born. who's to say!
A new sculpture! Finally... I feel like I never sculpt anymore since I'm always sick or have some 500 other things going on or projects to finish, but I'm trying to schedule time to do it more often this year hopefully..! Just a generic fantasy creature as usual, but did try making the eyes a little more sparkly this time.. hrmm..
Kai uses a flip phone now 'cause when he had a smart phone, he was so addicted to social media (which was seen multiple times in earlier seasons) that he sometimes stopped talking to his teammates for missions because he was busy responding to fans.
Also I feel like he was that one snobby iPhone user everyone knows, like jay and Nya both tried to prove Andriod was better but he refused to believe it and blew all his money on an iPhone.
So when that "accidentally" (Lloyd and Nya both smashed it when he was asleep because of how out of hand it had gotten) gone missing, kai had to wait to buy a new phone. In the meantime Wu (who was in on it) gave him an old flip phone to use.
Kai figured out how to use that and just never upgraded even when he had the money to because he found it was just easier to keep using, it was an absolute tank that never broke and his battery lasted days.
I wanna share this with my fellow Zevlor lovers, I'm not sure how many male Zevlovers there are but please. PLEASE understand how much this single 6 minute video has given me.
Glen McCready is an angel for this, and I'm listening to this forever. As someone who is painfully closeted and often afraid of being open in fandom spaces too, this is like. Inexplicable. This means everything to me. My favorite npc by far, comforting a character who represents myself in a lot of ways, and doesn't shy from making it romantic by any means.
So please, know that sharing this mean a lot to me.
And thank you, Glen McCready, for being so fucking wonderful.
Edit:
Forgot to add context: This is for my durge oc Aerdir, a refugee from Elturel turned hero against his will, finding Zevlor in Act Two in the pod. Post battle, he breaks down sobbing before Zevlor, someone he has looked up to and had feeling for since before he was made into a "hero". Zevlor takes the time to calm him down, even casually confesses (which killed me), and lulls him to sleep, to rest, for the time being.
The biblical need for a Good Omens season 2 musical is real, palpable, burning, and giving the final circle of hell.
Listen, maybe I've been watching too much Hazbin Hotel, and so the notion of Heaven/Hell musicals is stuck in my head- but HEAR ME OUT:
We're on one of the last songs on the soundtrack. Aziraphale is fluttering around the bookshop because he's about to confess his feelings for Crowley. He's singing his little heart out about how, after all this fear and self-loathing, he is finally ready to step out and go after what HE wants, not what Heaven wants. He's prepared, he's in love, and he's done with heavens bullshit. We get to the final chorus, and BOOM. Metatron walks in, cutting Aziraphale off, and asks to speak with him, and Aziraphale agrees.
The next song is instrumental because we, like in the show, have no real idea what was discussed in that meeting. It starts off cheery, maybe a little tense, before it gets somber.
And listen, all I need is a song where Crowley has just watched Aziraphale get into that elevator without looking back, and his heart breaks. I need him, specifically David Tennant, to sing about how Crowley will probably never get over Aziraphale and how, despite constantly waiting for him, it is killing him; it is a death he will gladly accept. I need a song where his rage melts into sadness, and we get a laid-back Crowley just asking if Aziraphale or God can hear him, asking why.
The last thing we hear is that the Bentley is starting up and driving down a busy street in Soho- but if you listen carefully, you can hear a nightingale singing in the background because the story isn't over.
The night of February 4, 2024 aka the Great BenzGarfield “He loves cats” day
Story time, for anyone who wasn’t on twitter that day and didn’t lose their mind over them pulling this (over a month before the TLDHLB/BenzGarfield announcement, while Pit Babe was still airing). This all went down during the filming of the Bad Guys MV, btw.
It all starts when Garfield tweets this photo with this caption:
Multiple people in the comments ask "Which cat?" because yeah, WE WANNA KNOW
Benz immediately replies with this:
He then takes to Instagram to post this story, with the text “orange cat!”
In case there was still any doubt as to which cat Benz loves, Garfield then quote tweets Benz’s reply (you know, so everyone can see), proudly making this proclamation: Cat=me!!! 😆
The day ends, we all go back to breathing normally, and then the next morning, Garfield posts this photoset to Instagram with the caption “which cat do you like?”
And Benz immediately replies: the orange one 🫨
He loves cats. Which cat does he like? THE ORANGE ONE.
i used to be a bit conscious about having so many girls/fem characters in my works (starsaints carnival is the only developed story right now that doesn't have a female protagonist, and most of the time i have to actively go out of my way to make male characters) but you know what fuck it i like girls so i'm gonna write girls goddammit!!!
john cameron mitchell referring to kibum “my buddy” and saying he should also play hedwig on his ig omg 😳
ahhhhh! ok OK! i'm screaming at the full caption though!!
i need to unpack this! first of all, the fact that he's talking about the character in the netflix show, going through enlistemnt as a gay man, and all he endured, and saying it's a groundbreaking korean queer story, AND THEN imediately mentions his buddy (😭💕 successful fan kim kibum!) key, and how he also had to do his service too (implying that he is another queer man who may have endured a similar experience as the character???)
and then says he should play hedwig!! (john, this is what i have been SAYING.)
anyway, this kinda made me emotional! it's so sweet, and kibum has been a huge fan of hedwig, and john for ages, so this just makes me so happy for him 💖
