Evangeline wasn't always my favorite Matthew Sweet song, but hearing that it was about a somewhat obscure comic (of the same name) that followed the adventures of a sexy vigilante nun in space really endeared me to it.

I never forgot Hugo’s description of his first contact with a train:

“The gave me Watt entirely naked, when I’d rather have him clothed by Benvenuto Cellini”

1) I agree, I love useless ornament. (although 19th c trains are beautiful to me xD)(and if he thought 19th c needed more ornaments what the hell would he think of contemporary architecture/design) 2) i wish someone would write about the quotidian with this much visionary power nowadays

#i love this with zero trace of irony #also there’s a motorhead song called iron horse about motorcycles #maybe hgo would have enjoyed it xD #from Robb’s hugo bio #was reminded of this steampunk adjacent passage when a friend told me about when myriel has a vison of the guillotine as a living being #with a will of its own #and we were also talking how hugo discusses about machines that become alive while balzac writes of men who become mechanical #the sci fi potential is there for both of them

One of my favorite things about actually joining the Starkid fandom after so many years of loving Starkid but not being a part of the community is seeing how much love and enthusiasm for Starship is still out there. Like, ya'll really love the silly alien-bug-Little-Mermaid musical I was obsessed with twelve whole years ago and it warms my heart so much <3

#starship #starkid #it's big and it's unwieldy and it's way too long with not enough songs and yet somehow all of that WORKS for it and I love it so so so much #it's just a tremendously enjoyable and heartfelt piece of theatre magic that rises above the level that it should #like Denise's mom said it's a show for dreamers #also for a retelling of the little mermaid and spoof of sci fi movies it's so original??? #Like never seen anything else like it anywhere #anyways every time I rewatch it I'm blown away by how great a time I have #and I love how the trans and nb community has connected with it I think that's so special and amazing

Wanna hear a really sweet solangelo headcanon?

So, I have a Will headcanon that he’s an adventure time, steven universe, gravity falls, svtfoe, infinity train, the owl house, and basically cartoon fandom bisexual nerd (along with sci fi and detective/ mystery thriller but tht’s besides the point).

One of his first songs he learned on ukulele and guitar are songs from adventure time and steven universe but his fav to play when he’s stressed or “stimming” is the Island Song (or come along with me/ adventure time end credits).

Before they started dating, Nico one day was having a panic/ anxiety attack or was just overstimulated and stressed and spotted Will under a secluded tree or in the strawberry fields (idk) playing the Island Song. He was listening from afar and surprisingly, he felt calmer and at ease.

Now whenever Nico has a nightmare or is overstimulated, Will would sing or hum the Island Song. Sometimes Nico would get lulled to sleep or would quietly sing along with him.

Bonus ramble: Also, Island Song is the easiest song to learn on ukulele and guitar, tht’s why imo, it’s a good “stimming song” and the lyrics is really sweet in this scenario too 😭 like it’s such a simple song yet has a lot of depth to it too, okay I’m done rambling.

#solangelo #will solace #nico di angelo #percy jackon and the olympians #this maybe me projecting onto will but fr tho #he’d love adventure time and steven universe #even gravity falls #bc he’s into true crime podcasts and we dont talk abt it much but he’d totally be into detective/ mystery thriller genres too #not just sci fi #also adventure time and steven universe fits his vibe #especially their songs #i literally have outlined a will solace character study fic based on do it for him

In the walking cities of Magna there are a many offences that in the eyes of its rulers deserve capital punishment. If an individual with military experience is found guilty of such a crime they are offered a choice, execution or join the Giftik troopers. In both cases death is certain. Equipped with a modified flamer that sprays radioactive material across a conflict zone the Giftik troopers are terrifying shock troops that will deny swathes of a battlefield to the enemy and cause immediate death at close range. However the use of such indiscriminate weaponry comes at a price and it is all but certain a Giftik Trooper will one day succumb to fatal radiation sickness. To prolong their functional lifespan they are heavily insulated with layers of material that is designed to shield the Trooper from the worst of the fall out. Much of a Giftik’s armour is modular and disposable, with sections being replaced once they are contaminated with radiation. .A painting by Thomas elliott artist illustrator

oop oc concept posting! this bad bitch is for an original story of mine - the main characters are all from different "genres", and i needed One More to round out the group and well. puppet-y guy fit the bill! i can't decide on a name!

she's from a children's show that had a western themed rock group that would provide lessons through the power of Music! she was the band guitarist until she fuckin. fell into the labyrinth & got corrupted by her found family of idiot assholes

#SHE IS EVERYTHING TO ME. IVE HAD HER FOR ONE HOUR #if anything happens to her ill kill everyone in this room and then myself #she's LOUD she's CONFIDENT she's got an INFERIORITY COMPLEX her catchphrase is HAWYEE #she has a HORSE her LOYAL STEED her BESTIE who has KILLED BEFORE & WILL AGAIN #she is inspired by: cowboys. 80s rock. and roosters #in my mind she can bend reality a little so she can just pull objects out from behind her back #like her trusty guitar! and lasso! and hat that she never wears bc her hair is Too Big! #scribble salad #forced idiots <3 #oc #original character #i think i'll try to make her look more... puppety down the line #we'll see! she rounds out the group nicely i think #lets see for genres we have: slasher / sci-fi / high fantasy / horror / bizarre / ghost / puppet #anyway ill be So Honest #she is entirely based off of the tiny Clip i have in my mind #of her about to (badly) sing a song w/ her guitar after the group fucks something up #she gets One strum in. then Aces (featured in the post) grabs her guitar and hits her with it full force. like a baseball bat <3 #and i was immediately like Ah Yes Perfect She Fits In So Well <3 #it is important to me that everyone in the group gets on each others nerves <3

HERE IT IS!! after Many moons of chipping away at this OC song comic for my scifi-noir android character Whitney and his bodyguard Bast, it is finally as complete as it shall ever be;; I’m proud of the work I put into this one! Pretty niche, but maybe some folks out there will enjoy UuU

ps: there's also a video for easy viewing!

#song comic #comic #comic art #character illustration #sci fi fantasy #dark art #character art #my scribbles #lyricstuck #an ode to this complicated traumatized morally twisted delusional bastard capitalist #as he becomes that which shaped him into the monster he is #the reality of his existence as an android (marginalized identity in this world) #is at odds with the power-hungry hierarchical worldview he's developed (as a coping mechanism) and is now consumed by #he will Never be one of the self assured entitled elites whose lives/positions he covets #but he can never acknowledge that or the path/ identity he's constructed for himself unravels #at the root of it all #he has vowed Never to be at the mercy of others again #which makes it all the more ironically tragic that the path he sees as granting him the most power is actually just selling himself #to be used as a pawn by the Hijaratha (illuminati-esque organization made up of the same politico-corporate elite #who ruined his life in the first place) #he's so full of contradictions/ hypocrisies and he doesn't even realize it #I find him so fascinating #rotating him in my mind forever #lots of little symbolism things in here #just as a treat for me lol #if you've read down this far- bless you you are now my boon companion #Youtube #whitney

Action Heroines Deserve Your Respect

I hate, hate, hate the fact that we've now moved into a space where action heroines are written off as "girlbosses" "nlogs" "yassified queens" "acting like men" and other bullshit like that. I hate that after centuries of women being oppressed through the enforcement of gender roles, female characters who cross gender boundaries are dismissed with a "ugh a woman doesn't have to fight/act like a man to be strong. women can be feminine and strong too".

I hate that people don't see why there will always be a strain of feminism in the action heroines because her existence; whether she be written well or not, and acceptance is a sign that we're moving past attitudes that have kept women confined and limited.

I hate that an action heroines has to be ten times better written than a male action hero because people; both men and women, are just waiting for the chance to rip her to shreds and dismiss as her as "lazy feminism" "girl boss pandering" and a "not like other girl girl".

I hate that there can be male characters who have little personality other than badass and people can just enjoy them for what they are and take them in the spirit in which they were created, whereas a female action character must never be allowed to be a badass bit of escaper lest she be the worst thing to ever happen to feminism.

I hate that there's less than one female action heroines to every ten make action heroes and their existence is still treated as a scourge in fiction. I hate that a poorly written male action hero is no more or less than a single character who wasn't written well, whereas a poorly written action heroine; whose threshold of being well written is much higher, is seen as an attack on the genre.

I hate that in genres where action and battle sequences are a staple and often provide massive emotional/plot climaxes, people refuse to see why female fans may want to see female heroines in those scenes.

I hate that people who aren't that into action heroines themselves can't just sit stand and shut up and think for a second why their existence means so much to fans of their characters, how long it was for fans to see characters like that become mainstream, and why for girls who see themselves in these heroines more than any other, it's bloody exhausting to hear them dismissed as "shallow" and "only liked because they act like men".

The moments when the music is the most dramatic, the moment everything has been building up to, when the chills are going down your spine, when every split second decision matters, when trust in friends is vindicated, when humanity is stripped down to its bare essentials and you see who these characters are when there's nothing left to lose. When nothing is pretty and soft but harsh and desperate and brutal and ugly. These moments matter so much, and are such a crucial part of the genres they exist in. They are so thrilling and cathartic and moving to watch, and of bloody course there are girls who want to see themselves in.

Not because these action heroines are acting "like men". Because these sequences tell us that the traits exhibited by the heroines in these sequences, the strength, physical and emotional, the resilience, the quick thinking, the camaraderie, the skill, are not exclusively the domain of men. These women aren't "trying to be men". They're trying to live. To defend. To advance a cause. To partake in the world around them on their own terms and have their lives in their hands.

Yes, yes, yes, there are lots of ways to be strong and proactive and admirable but fuck it, a good action sequence is moving and inspiring and fun and can make you feel like you've been on a roller coaster. And when I watch a sci-fi or a fantasy epic, I want to see women in those sequences. To be a part of that onscreen phenomena that is so pivotal to the genre.

When I watch an epic fantasy or sci-fi show, where there are beautiful and thoughtful and terrifying and emotional battle scenes, I want to see female characters partake in them. I want them to be the ones giving the speeches, being in that charge, wielding their swords, terrified, bloodthirsty, rage filled, righteous, merciful, valiant, exhausted, sweat, brutal, honourable, sly, messy. I want them to be in those moments for those moments in themselves.

Stellar serpents are gigantic creatures born at the dawn of times, from the larvae formed from the premordial energies, in a flow of which the first stars were formed. They dwell in the depths of the stars, consuming their mass to Procreate, and than feed on eachother. Their appearance, is dependent on the cycle their star being in. Azul lurkers, leave in a Blue Giants, Neutron serpents, in a highly pressurised in ironments of a neutron ones, and the crimson lanterns, floating in a coronal mass of a red dwarves. One of the most interesting types of the stellar serpents, are Chromaric Apostles, which are not usually leaving inside of the stars but in a waste of space, traveling from system to system by a wormholes…

On a topic of their “biology” if it can be called so, including the fact of how alien this life form is, they are basically gigantic – some reaching the lengths of the Sun’s radius, nuclear reactors, made out of pressurised gas and plasma. They can survive the temperatures, probably no corporeal in the universe is able to withstand, and they live for the hundreds millions of years – at least the ones, which were not consumed, by other – larger serpents.

Some could say they are gods – and, I can agree with them. Despite lacking conventional consciousness, they can be considered a possessors of godlike powers – they are manifestation of a celestial bodies themselves – Star sprites if you wish. And as long as the last one them havent died with the last star in existence burning out, leaving the universe in the darkness, and cold the cosmos itself will be alive…

"Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again"

Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence"

The Sound of Silence Song by Simon & Garfunkel

inspiration from @occultradio (look I made a technicolor alien!) and @medleymisty for the profound and lovely words they wrote that inspired me to think of the song. Original gallery build by curlypinksims I tweaked it to my needs.
