[ghostly-spice]

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.

if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.

#it was genuinely surprising to see people talk about inaccessibility and cost of comics here #like ik most of you arent dc fans but i was still surprised #literally everyone in the dc fandom knows about this and uses it regularly #i just forgot that people who arent comics fan wouldnt know about the free comic sites lol #new runs are updated too! its not just the old stuff! #so no you dont need a comic store or a shit ton of money to read the comics #dpxdc #if we're talking movies and shows then use fmovies #DEF use an adblocker (and vpn if you have one) for that though #and since this is directed at dp fans id highly suggest watching the bat.man scooby doo crossover! #its amazing and imo is a great example of mixing bat.man with a more comedic child friendly vibe #bat.man is so goofy in that movie i love it aldhg #oh man... thats making me think of dpxdcxsd crossover now... #is the acronym for scooby doo sd? that feels wrong #well anyway if you want to read the comics for free you can lol #remember! the dc fandom has been here for decades! we have all the resources you need!! dont be afraid to look or ask! #and if you dont know where to start reading - just pick your favorite character and find a masterlist made by an obsessed fan #and start there lol #but if anyone wants recs let me know and ill be happy to help :)

BRO mutant mayhem was so fucking good not gonna lie if it wasn’t I was on the path of world destruction, but now that I’ve watched it I put my mass murder note into the archives I’m a different person now I’ve changed 

Raph stole the show for me I loved him so much I swear he was chaos incarnate  and never apologized for it. God bless.  i’ve never been a fan of shipping April with the turtles, but the shipping part wasn’t even bad. Actually, I think this movie did the shipping of the turtle so well compared to the shit we’ve gotten in the past. just such a fun time fun story and just all the love they went into the movie was amazing long live TMNT

#tmnt mm #mutant mayham #it was so cool #The art direction in style was god tier #The humor hit like it was never too much. It was always funny. #The pacing was amazing. You never felt like it was going too fast or too slow you always were on point. #Leonardo getting bullied through the whole movie was the funniest shit. How are you going to be the oldest sibling and still get #lil bro treatment #couldn’t be me #also Leo’s end game fit take that shit off #they colonized him 😔 #pastries babbles💌

Slightly related: in pretty recent dc canon, Slade and Talia do have a biological test tube baby together. his name is Respawn. I think neither Talia nor Slade knew about him though bc it was all Ra's al Ghul fuckery ?

Yeah Respawn, that poor little thing. You're correct, neither Talia nor Slade knew anything about him. - it's one of those thing where Ra's al Ghul goes "brilliant mastermind is 600+ year old and instead of doing anything which makes a lick of sense with his centuries of hindsight and experience of the world, he obsesses over people's genes".

Basically he spliced Talia's DNA with Slade's to replicate whatever gave him his meta-abilities, and since DC can't decide if Slade's abilities derive from his meta-gene, from the serum he was given or from both (hell, they barely can decide if Slade's hair is white because of the serum or because man's old), everything makes so little sense that somehow what Ra's al Ghul does ends up working, and he manages to create this test tube baby who indeed has both Talia and Slade's DNA, and the latter's meta-abilities. But instead of doing anything meaningful with this kid, he keeps him locked up and tortures him (?), or uses him to get organs when Damian needs them (???), and doesn't even give him a name. Respawn picks out his own nickname, and he survives only because his healing factor keeps him alive despite all of the above, and somehow he also stays sane despite the years of isolation and hardcore physical abuse.

At some point he manages to run away and connect with Slade, and Slade *immediately* (and I mean after barely batting an eye) decides that this is his son and he will cherish him and protect him. And of course a couple of issues later Respawn gets brutally murdered right before Slade's eyes, because DC art directors are so competent and the only development they could think of was that of re-traumatizing Slade in the exact same way as it already happened with Grant (and with Joseph pre-reboot), making him lose a child brutally and by failing to protect him. Right before his eyes. And so they also wasted a perfectly good character (Respawn I mean) which could have had an amazing plotline both with Slade and Rose & by himself, and a lot of potential for future development, just because they wanted the quick and easy drama of "child gets tortured for all his brief life for absolutely no reason, finally finds someone that wants to take care of him and dies a horrible death".

You can tell it didn't really work because not many people even know that Respawn exist, and those who know didn't get the time to truly grow fond of him since he's there for such a short time. And I bet you can also tell I'm pissed about it.

#I'm fine with the way Respawn came to be making no sense I am used to things making no sense when it comes to DC #but for chrissake give him a plotline which goes beyond 'he fucking dies' #I know he might be still alive and yada yada but until I see him on page doing something he's basically still dead #since his plotlines got butchered anyway #this is similar to what happened with Duke. They introduce a good character give him an acceptable storyline & then they do nothing with it #amazing direction flawless execution /s #anyways #my asks #respawn dc #slade wilson #respawn deserved better squad #and honestly Slade deserved better too

i made some cute little wip chibi sprites of some vocaloid, utauloid and fanloid characters :)

the characters from left to right, top to bottom are: hatsune miku rin and len kagamine teto kasane momone momo zatsune miku akita neru shiteyanyo nakao/larval rin

#vocaloid #utau #utauloid #fanloid #hatsune miku #rin kagamine #len kagamine #teto kasane #momone momo #zatsune miku #akita neru #shiteyanyo #nakao #larval rin #i just realised rin's hair is probably facing the wrong way oops #ahhh well #i'll fix it later #these are wips anyway #i should make chimera teto and tako luka #just found out teto's gender is actually chimera #that's so real shoutout to chimeragender teto #i love how teto got so popular that she's officially found her way into project diva that is SO cool! #i think neru appears as a character in that game too #i remember a lot of people finding teto's voice to be really annoying back in my day but you know what? i think her voice sounds really coo #even her first voicebank i really like #she sounds like a robot and i really love that direction they took with her voice #even in her later releases and when she's tuned really realistically she can still sound robotic and i LOVE IT #i like the later vocaloid releases and the amazing tuning people do with them but they don't really have that digital sound that- #-captivated me so much as a kid and i kinda wish there were more recent songs where people tuned them to sound more like robots #V1 and V2 vocaloid will always have a special place in my heart <3

#Wow. Okay ♡ #I love this episode. The animation is flawless. The drawings quality is out of the world for real. #I love this episode so much I'm so grateful so much care and dedication went to this sskk centered episode. #(Refraining to talk about what 5x03 could have been) #Sorry for repeating myself but seriously the illustrations this episode are so so pretty. #I rarely appreciate how Akutagawa is drawn in the anime but when it comes with this episode I really like how he looks too. #And Atsushi that I already like a lot in the anime on average‚ this episode is just fabulous. Handsome even. #Seriously I don't know who the animators are but I want to kiss them. This art style is one I dare say I like even more than Dead Apple– #that although is obviously more detailed is just... In comparison too rough for my personal taste? #The art style for this episode is very delicate and soft and I love it tons #And the directing is just great. No weird pacing or awkward ost choice. It's neat. #The reiterated placing ss/kk on opposite sides is neat. The lightening is likeable and especially the purple scene is super pretty. #The “don't compare me to him” scene is neat. The ss/kk final scene is AMAZING. It's gorgeous and stunning and awestriking and every other– #epitome in the world. It's like the only scene I believe turned out better in the anime that it is in the manga which is saying SO MUCH. #But it's really that good!!!!! My favourite anime ss/kk scene ever. #Aaaaaahhh please let me talk about it forever it's sooo pretty and especially poignant... #The heaven-like soft yellow light and how it contrasts with the bleak stormy background. But especially their softening features... #Man that scene. okay. Akutagawa's quiet surprise!!!! That scene is. Idk. Unfortunately chapter 88 exists– #but it's nearly the most romantic thing ever. #I'll leave it at this. It's not like the bsd animation suddenly became a masterpiece and this is still an episode– #I would say I like less than my least liked k/l/k episode (Trigger animation my beloved). But in comparison with the rest of the anime– #It's really bsd anime at its peak #random rambles #Aah peoples btw I'm probably going to spam ss/kk‚‚‚‚ a lot today. Apologies in advance unfollow me now etc. etc.

i love how unhinged the anime is. esp since the dub aired on fucking DISNEY. like what the fuck-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #i mean i think it was disney xd specifically which i think is meant to have an older age range #but like. still #i mean have you SEEN the manjimutt segments. and also b3-nk1 #one of my favorite unhinged moments in the anime is in snack wars where nate imagines making a fuckin'. candy gundam. like #it's hilarious but also what were they on- #also all of springdale five-yo. it's hilarious but also it is. so chaotic #i don't know how they came up with it but it's amazing #idk how they came up with most things in the anime honestly though sfkldjdfslkfdjklsdf- #some of my favorite unhinged anime moments: #as i mentioned. the candy gundam in snack wars #yo-kai peppillon isn't that unhinged but it's still hilarious #the fitnolympics episode is also really funny #all of springdale five-yo. it is so unhinged #also the directator episodes. what is happening there #i'm fond of boyclops saying he climbs mount everest every morning. boyclops pallysol and lady longnek are hilarious tbh #there's honestly too many really unhinged moments for me to think of any specific ones- #i'm only on ep039 and it's already this unhinged #i'm saving watching more anime for october cuz i'm almost at the dracunyan episode so i wanna wait for spoopy month #that reminds me that i still haven't watched m01. i should do that at somepoint #it's good from what i remember #and then i have to wait for so l o n g to watch m02. cuz it's after ep098 #and idk where m03 fits in to all this- #and i'm probably not gonna watch shadowside or y-school heroes #i wanna watch exclamation point n music note tho. idk where to watch them but i want to-

i keep seeing people criticising tv shows and movies by being like "i thought x character was bad but im NOT BLAMING the actor i think the actor is GREAT and WONDERFUL i blame the WRITERS and DIRECTORS"

usually this is directed at female characters and characters of colour and like while i understand the impulse to not dunk on actors and actresses who are more likely to be receiving really shitty hate comments just for existing i do think a) the attacks on writers and directors are also really mean and personal sometimes? and also b) this feels incredibly performative

#my peak moment of this is someone who commented on annabeth being black in the percy jackson series #and said it ruined the entire point of her character and made the show basically unwatchable from the get go #and then added “but no hate to leah! shes an amazing actress she's gonna be fantastic!” #and like. fantastic at what. what does that mean #thats an extreme example usually when i see this it's more like #idk like the comment i saw about ghosts cbs which said sam was too cheerful but that rose mciver portrayed her perfectly #and had a lengthy diatribe about how a character being perky and happy was irredeemably terrible writing #and like #how is the actress not a part of that? #what do you think her job is? #her job is not just having a face and saying words in any even halfway decent production the actors are *part* of the writing and direction #film media is a collaborative process #and you can hate the result but like youre rarely gonna be able to single out the one person who caused a thing you hate #and also also. its super obvious that people are just adapting to it being socially less acceptable to bully actors on social media #writers and directors however you can still get away with harassing

Patreon question

I'm focusing hard on budgeting, and one of the things I want to do more of in the coming year is support independent creators/small groups on Patreon and Substack, even if I can only do a little bit at a time. I have a few creators I already support on Patreon, and two on Substack, but I'd love to support more.

I know you've got creators that you love to support on these platforms! Tell me who you support and why you started supporting them if you have creators that are especially unique or near and dear to you. Anything and everything, across the board, I love supporting small business and I love finding new people and niches I never heard about before. There're no wrong answers here!

#I support a few freelance artists and writers and a couple of content creators like Crash Course and Jo Beckwith #I want to hear anything and anyone you've cared enough about to donate to/support! #ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. IF WE ARE MUTUALS OR FRIENDS AND YOU HAVE A KO FI OR A PATREON LET ME KNOW #THAT IS NOT A REQUEST THAT IS AN ORDER (unless you really truly don't want to. but if you just feel like it's too prideful or not a #'big enough' thing/deal or you don't want to 'bother me'. DO IT. I WANT TO HAVE YOU ON MY LIST TO SUPPORT IF I CAN #I often rotate small amounts of money to different creators every few months in a cycle so I can spread it around still even though #I can't help much. it feels so good to do and makes me feel like I do when I shop a true small or local business. direct action babyyy etc #especially if the creator is going through a health crisis like Physics Girl #2024 #to do #reply here or send me a dm or drop an ask in my inbox or make a post and tag me #whatever #i want to hear why you love what you love #i want to hear what you care about so much you already do or want to in the future financially support it #the world is full of so much amazing work and inspiring creativity and massive efforts #i love learning about them so i get to acknowledge and witness and support them too #i love GitHub for the same reason lol

#i am only typing this because im tired and feeling more loosey goosey than i usually would i guess #but ive just been debating something for a while now #so basically i used to just openly talk about like. everything on this blog but then due to a multitude of reasons #i stopped posting about certain things 1. because irl people found my blog and probably still could if they Really tried #2. because i didnt want to post about certain things and have absolutely anyone know shit about me #like as much as it can feel like a cosy wee community. just me and my mutuals <3 etc. its like. actually the fucking internet djdbdjdhdhjdh #anyways whats prompting me to type all this is that i used to post kinda negative stuff on here i guess you could say. like just my feelings #and shit. but i stopped because i want this to be a positive blog and i do feel like you can manifest shit you know? if i constantly reblog #posts where im like “i feel worthless and i am a piece of shit” that isnt helping anything you know? i think what really hammered it home #for me is when i saw a mutual rb something from me like that and it made me so sad tbh. because like. no youre not. youre amazing and ily #you know? anyways. overall i think it has been a decision for the best and i enjoy that my blog has become a more positive space. but i #do sometimes just feel like im kind of going the opposite direction where i act a certain way when im really just. feeling crap. #like all the time. idk maybe tumblr isnt the place for it but it used to be my outlet you know? and i have other things like my diary and #art and even a sideblog lmao. but i guess i do just mourn my whole self not being on this blog. idk what im trying to say by all this #is it this deep? am i thinking about this way too much lmao. idk. idk. #le text post

Keep seeing Zelda movie news reactions and like feel like my only contribution right now is I'd much prefer live action to an illumination style animated movie...

#i feel like just the littlest bit its showing their target audience isnt *little* little kids which is somethingg #and idk guess like 4 years or so is still a relatively new loz fan for me but #feel like no matter what they do theres no way to please everyone #not even the games bave been able to do that #theres so many different tones they could aim for with it and w so many different mainline games who know which theyll pull the most from #just like #ofc id rather see animation #the art brain in me goes feral about the possibilities there #but idk... its always written off by vast majority of adults as kiddy stuff and like you dont have to tell me it shouldnt be #gosh do I know #but if theyre wanting to make money and be taken seriously #even find a new audience who arent prev loz fans #im not surprised really that this would be the direction theyre working towards #at the end of the day like we already have cartoon and cdi link and even they get love sometimes on this site #its just another link #and maybe one w wasted potential but that doesnt take away from all the amazing ones we already have so ajdkfkf #forgive the million typos my gosh #too lazy to try to fix them tonight but i promise i know how to spell TT

shauna being like jackie I really need you right now and then sobbing hysterically is literally me every week watching this friggin show.

#🐇 #yellowjackets #the amount of homophobia this week.....far too much #where the fuck is kristen/crystal lmfao who has her #I also was totally shitting on all the therapy but then shauna's stuff was like a punch to the face so thank you lottie!!! #idk how many episodes are left but like....do you think that misty will confess to destroying the black box and then because lottie is #getting her visions again and things kinda seem like they're going towards a cannibal ritual direction that they'll hunt her to possibly #appease the antler queen/save van/fix the adam issue?? #I'm getting the vibes heavily someone won't survive the main plot line and I think the van thing is too obvious #and the reddit thinks it's nat but they're literally never right about anything they said no one would actually care about the flight #recorder like tell that to dead kristen/crystal why the fuck would no one care about that????? #also so so amazed that it took this long for someone to get the shit beat out of them lmfao I thought that would've happened in the first #season and also I would've thought it would have been mari if I'm totally honest. like we're all thinking it #I'm also like really wondering if walter really is a cop or something or a PI tai hired or something idk there's something there #and like honestly I'm so bored of the two tai thing and the eyeless man like just explain it already I'm tired of waiting #I will say though so so funny the girls talking about how misty is insane and also hoping they can eat kristen/crystal

Doctor Who Opinion: I see a lot of "the writing was bad but the acting was good" but to me both Jodie and Chibnall did a bad job (Chibnall more so but still). I do think Jodie is a good actor in general but on Doctor Who she limited herself too much by acting like she was just on "a little kids show" and forced her perfomance to be more like David's. She did improve a bit by the end of her run but not enough imo. Anyway, I'm just curious about your thoughts on this.

Yeah, I've talked a little about this, though I prefer not to dwell on it because Jodie got so much undeserved hate, and I haven't seen her in anything else so I can't really judge her as an actor because the writing in DW didn't give her that much range. She might be really good in other roles! I don't know! And I don't think she's bad in DW, but I don't think her characterisation plays to her strengths, and I feel she struggles to give the kind of multi-layered performance the Doctor needs. idk how to explain it exactly other than she's too reactive and... maybe too earnest sometimes? Which is weird because she's also one of the most closed off Doctors. But she just doesn't have the air of mystery that the others do, or the sense that they've got a lifetime of conflicting thoughts and emotions swirling beneath the surface.

It really hit home when I rewatched Eleven's era a couple of years ago and Matt Smith was just absolutely nailing the vibe that I think they were kinda going for far less successfully with Thirteen.

#I don't like criticising the actors too much though because the writing really did them no favours #maybe Jodie could've been an amazing Doctor with different scripts and direction #idk! #I mean she has moments where she's very good #Replies #Anon #Ranger shut up about Doctor Who #DW criticism
