I feel like some Fall Out Boy songs sound stupid until you listen to them in a very specific state of turmoil and then you’re like oh I get it hahaha yeah cheers Patrick yeah I’m gonna need u to sing that for me fifteen more times

#veesaysthings #fall out boy #they are truly my top Spotify artist just bc I go through so many emo stints where I need their angst randomly and for 3 hrs straight #anyway I SPENT TEN YEARS TEN YEARS IN A BIT OF CHEMICAL HAZE AND I MISSED THE WAYYYY THAT I FELT. NOTHING. NOTHING. NA NA NA NA NA

I think sonic had a really good time not being playable for once and just being supporting cast for his friend shadow. i just know he was soooo excited to explain the controls and not worry about rings and cheer on his friend (and sometimes be a final boss :3)

#sth #shth #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #sonic the character #fanart #id in alt text #i have. another batch of shadow (game) drawings after this #bc im having a really good time with it #it is definitely somewhere in the top 3 sonic games for me. it's good! and anyone who says otherwise just hates fun #sonic in this game soooo funny he IS so annoying but it is so cute truly #im really bad at the hero mission in space gadget but sonics dialogue is sooooo cute in that.. #he's just having fun racing with his friend again 🥺 #shadow is having the most intense and miserable experience of his short life and sonic is just like yaayayayay video game yaaay! #anyway. return of my adventure-era sonic design. even tho shth canonically takes place A While after sa2 #whatever. they r the same to me

tgwdlm is soooo funny bc even before the Evil Musical Hivemind lands everyone (except Paul ofc) is already a theater kid. Like okay you’ve got Hidgins which is self explanatory. But then Ted ends up really invested in working boys. Emma (and Zoey/Nora) did/do theater. Bill at least is invested in seeing a musical along with like a few other important side characters. It’s funny bc this is like Not how often theater is normally brought up. It’s like starkid went hmmm the average person consumes what… like a musical a week? been in a few performances throughout their life? Yeah that sounds about right. Like guys Paul’s defining character trait is fucking hating musicals and HE MENTIONS SEEING LIKE THREE OF THEM.

#couldn’t think of anything for charlotte off the top of my head maybe she’s truly the only normie </3 #the guy who didn't like musicals #tgwdlm #hatchetfield #starkid

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jin guangyao #qin su #The parallels to the mulderskully comic were genuine scripting coincidences that I kept in for the irony. #wwx and mulder both have a strong need to show their beloved (investigation) partner the cool thing they just found. #Much to their chagrin and concern. #For as much of a mess the plot gets in The Untamed...one of the things it does probably the best of all adaptions is setting up JGY. #specifically how we spend time getting to know him as a *Regular Guy* around our deuteragonists' age. #I love how he's present in the cloud recess arc! I was rooting for him as a character! The twist villain reveal felt so heartbreaking! #Here in the audio drama (for as much as it does well) we pretty much get 2 scenes tops with this guy before he's villain monologuing. #before this we know him as 1) the guy NMJ yelled at a lot 2) a suspect 3) leader guy Jin Ling was partially raised by. #The elements are there but but not with any particular depth to make him...interesting (in this version). #Sure we get to learn more after the fact but it just falls so flat in comparison B*/ #ohhhh noooo the guy we are pretty sure killed a guy is gaslighting his wife and has a secret torture chamber. And he's a politician. #not much of a mystery to it all innit. #Feel free to disagree or bring up differing points btw; I love media analysis convos and this truly is just my opinion.

I’m so obsessed with Drink With Me you guys don’t understand - the resignation, the acceptance of what will inevitably come in the morning, the choice they made to stay and see it all through to the end, despite everything.

Then Grantaire says:

“Can it mean you fear to die?”

“Can it mean your death means nothing at all?”

Which are such strong and beautiful lines, but also the voice of all their fears. Maybe it was all for nothing. Maybe they died for a belief that could never be.

And yet the next verse is happy and hopeful and dedicated to camaraderie. They don’t want to die, but they will. And they chose to spend their last night with their friends.

“Here’s to you, and here’s to me.”

#because all that matters in the end is that we were here and we will be remembered #and there will be others after us singing our songs #and maybe they will get the happy ending we fought for so hard #truly one of the best songs of the musical #used to be in my top 5 but now is in my top 3 #happy barricade day y’all #les miserables #les mis #enjolras #grantaire #drink with me #les amis de l'abc #barricade day

I think tlovm is super impressive just for the fact it’s an adaptation. While it isn’t perfect, the show has to adapt a fucking gargantuan amount of highly detailed content. Literally hundreds of hours of story and tiny character interactions and lore and NPCs and move for move combats and every other thing, have to be turned into 12 or so ~20 minute episodes per season. That is a truly absurd amount of stuff to condense, and the show does so pretty damn successfully. Adaptations with far less ground to cover do a whole lot worse. Especially given that, while every switch between mediums is hard and requires some changes to the story, a story told through dnd has the game system woven into every aspect of the characters and the world, and that has to be mostly taken out in the show. Core metaphysics of the universe have to be changed, concepts on which huge story elements are built have to be fully replaced. It is an absolute beast of a thing to adapt. Just the fact that the show exists at all is incredible to me. 

#the difference between economy of storytelling is INSANE #the game had hours and hours to do something #the story has 3 minutes tops to do #it is truly mind boggling #critical role #tlvom #the legend of vox machina #cr #vox machina

yea i very much agree with ur take on sollux in his relation to older technology, u get it

please id love if youd share some more of ur analysis on his character (as well as ur art bc that shit is 👌👌👌)

either way, thanks for feeding my brain worms

im glad it resonated!! :') always happy to explore his character, he contains multitudes!!!

i think i may be out of sollux analysis for now, in the sense where i don't have anything new to add that hasn't already been covered in these posts? (please add if there's more...)

why i like sollux (lackadaisicallexicon, 2014)

comprehensive sollux status guide (syblatortue, 2016)

bioware machine (lime-bloods, 2016)

fridgestuck (LaureledEevees, 2017)

mary sue (3d-gla22e2, 2019)

favorite sollux trait (3d-gla22e2, 2020)

doom-bound static (gendertrickster, 2023)

however i will say there's another thing i really like abt him:

his Range!

he has a v flexible face.. even with his neutral expression, you cant help but read a tinge of melancholy/pensiveness to it.

he deters people from getting too comfortable with him by acting crude, but no matter how unapproachable he looks you can't help but wonder if he's ok. seems like he's never content with himself.

just like karkat, anger gives him purpose = something to care about & react to. without it he can appear aimless/uncertain.

it's especially interesting when you compare him to aradia, who despite having endured a lot of shit, ends up enjoying the freedom of expanding her worldview, riding the unpredictable tide of the narrative and observing the changes. sollux... doesn't.

he doesn't like watching major things progress in a way he can't predict. the lack of certainty actually overwhelms him.

and it's pretty clear why; imagine the only reassurance you get after unknowingly killing ur gf is that "it needed to happen". the only way to appease that sort of emotional turmoil is by intellectualizing those events as inevitable and out of your control.

(hs, A6I5)

when you’re just a tool for the author, trying to sit out is just feeble self-preservation until you’re needed again. if you’re not called on stage to help/assist in some way, it feels like your presence spells doom (either you or someone else will get hurt). so you avoid Events as best you can.

#ask #anon #homestuck #sollux captor #2023 #vioart #i love expressive characters eheh my fave emotions to draw are actually anger and incredulity. vry cathartic for me #im also super relieved the prev analysis was received well ngl it was like. splitting my chest open it was . very personal #largely bcs my appreciation of him is weirdly abstract? seems as if i had to come up w sm conceptual meaning just to say i like his vibe #but rlly i was just working backwards frm that conclusion like wow this character looks cool lemme think harder abt why i like it #i may have sounded a bit callous too.. but truly he is 1 of my top 3 faves alongside karkat & aradia. i brain them regularly in rotation

the electorate for @hotvintagepoll seemed to like the bette drawings (though not enough to save her…) so now it’s time to show some love for Joan!! feat. Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Marlene Dietrich, and Dorothy Arzner

#I do have a 4th Joan page in the works but it’s not gonna be done before the poll ends sadly #my post #my art #hvlp #hvlp propaganda #joan crawford #old hollywood #you see. she is sooooo pretty so hot look at her face I have truly spent what most would consider too long looking at her face…… #also I KNOW she’s not gonna make it out of this round but I can DREAM can’t i… #oh for clarity also first image top row has 3 bettes #last image has one solo Barbara (top left) then the two drawings next in the top row are Joan with Marlene and Joan with Dorothy Arzner #the rest are either just Joan or Joan with Barbara #I do also have a page primarily for the women 1939 but it’s also mostly Rosalind; and another wip Bette and Joan and another wip #for crystal x sylvia in the women… Joan is almost certainly at this point the person I’ve drawn the most of which is crazy

what is that dnp video that you always come back to, the most random video that cheers you up. for me it’s ‘dyeing my hair blue’ and way more recently ‘trunk dexting’

#m does rambles #dan and phil #trunk dexting truly might be top 3 gaming videos for me #it makes me laugh so hard and makes my face hurt from smiling
