forever thinking about the tgwdlm digital ticket and how, after the “alice is already dead” speech, you can see ted in the background for the whole rest of the scene. and oh boy does joey ever pack that shit FULL of tiny little acting choices that make me go cuckoo bananas.

the first part that i love is when paul says “i’m gonna go with you to get your daughter back.” ted was walking away, but then he freezes, and clenches his fists at his sides. he stares at paul in disbelief for a moment, then he grabs the bottle of booze off the seat with obvious anger and sits back down.

he’s sitting, clutching the bottle, and staring down at charlotte’s body at his feet, looking miserable and angry.

but when paul says “there comes a time in every man’s life when he has to draw a line in the sand,” joey does this beautiful, tiny movement where just his eyes snap up from charlotte’s body. he’s not immediately looking at paul, but it’s crystal clear that he snapped to attention at that statement. then he stares at paul in such grim silence.

for me this all really resonates with all that we now know about ted… i think there have been many times in ted’s life when, from his perspective, things probably would’ve been a lot better if he had drawn a line in the sand. if he had stepped up. if he had been braver. if he had told jenny how he felt. if he had had a serious, open talk with charlotte. if he had the guts in this moment right now to go with paul and bill in the vain hope that his baby brother might still be alive in that school with alice.

but ted is so far gone at this point, so resigned, so far down that bottle of booze that he can’t bring himself to do anything. so he just watches paul go. and now the man he considers his best friend is strutting off to his death too, and ted knows he’s not going to stop him. he’s always been a coward, so why stop now?

i’m just fascinated by this whole sequence and i am obsessed with joey’s choices and how well the whole thing flows in harmony with information from years later. ted is such a mess and i love him so so much. he has so many subtleties to him if you’re looking for them.

I think it's funny how things that are canon in one media "shock" people who aren't in that Fandom. Example A: I went to a con today and showed my friend a "Cancel Homec*mming" flyer I got from a Grace Chasity cosplayer and they were so confused on what it all meant 😭

Here are all the Lords in Black in eldritch horror forms!!!! :D

This was a fun series of artworks to do because my artstyle changed so much when drawing them, I still love them all tho.

i feel like grace would have girls flirt with her and think "oh! she just wants to be my friend! like how i feel with steph!" when. technically sure it is the same way she feels for steph but those feelings aren't fully platonic

Steph posts dance TikToks even though she sucks at dancing (she still thinks it’s fun and people think she’s just bad ironically so she’s still cool) and the first time she made Pete do one with her he hit ALL THE SCHMOVES and the comments were exclusively any variation of “GO WHITE BOY GO”

I'm losing my mind over the new production

It's almost at 200k as I reblog this

Cinderella's Castle Cast Reveal (Part 1) Kickstarter

Absolutely In love with this idea and I will cry if you manage to do it <3

I know it would be almost literally impossible, especially with my art program having an animation cap at 10,000 frames but...

I REALLY WANT TO DO A FULL ANIMATION FOR THE ENTIRETY OF NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE!

Like, not certain scenes, not certain songs, I want to animate the entire musical. Fully animate, color, seamless lines, everything.

Not only would that take forever but I would have to have a shit ton of files, since I can animate about 6-7 minutes in one file

But it would be so satisfying. It would feel so good to say that I had such a big special interest on Starkid that I made a whole ass animated movie for their musical

6 minute videos that I stich together as best as I can, I want to do it so bad

But until then... I will settle with attempting the entirety of The Summoning

My thought process is if I do an animation for every song, then it'll be way easier to do the whole musical

Will I ever do any of this? One day, hopefully.

theres something reallllllllllly funny about all the extream christians in hatchetfield respecting trans peoples pronouns (both the jerys and the chasitys) and in the same breath telling people theyre gonna end up in hell for being catholic. also the murder part is funny. "yeah i dismemberd a body, but youre going to hell bc you danced in prom!!!!! i respect your pronouns :))) just not you as a person :))))" art.

#queer? yes thats fine. catholic? what the fuck is wrong with you! #Pronouns? yes whatever you wanna be called. prom? get the fuck out of ny house.
