#so there is ‘some’ drag in space

[sleeplessphantom-0]

My physics professor: “there is no drag in space”

Drag kings/queens across the universe: *cries of agony*

Today is a loss for drag everywhere 😔

Doodle dump because I have too many thoughts about them </3

Stupid shenanigans during their college era referencing this. Harold used to have a stupid moustache and goatee in that “I just started growing facial hair and idk what to do with it” kind of style.

Giving Melvin friends but also making him the shortest and the angriest out of the gang. He is friends with George and Harold and he hates it so much, he is entrenched in denial about it. His only two besties are each fathers of two and very much married, OF COURSE he's going to be mom/dad-friended to death.

They are judging you.

I think we should stop giving Lance family problems and instead give everyone else family problems and then drag him into all of them as universe's most unpaid and unqualified therapist. As god intended

Three seasons and still so many people are still weird (and high key misogynistic) about Ginny Miller. If it's not berating her for an attitude that was crafted in response to her unstable home life (something in which the same people who hate on her for, will turn around praise Georgia for every little thing even though she played a role in Ginny's trials), or framing her as self centered for not noticing others, such as Marcus's or even Max's mental health....even though the show, not only, shows her reaching out but also discusses how invisible mental illness can be at times, especially to those who are good at hiding it.

If she's to blame for Marcus's mental health, then so are his parents (who aren't getting talked about enough to me), Max due to not noticing until some point around in s2, Abby for not communicating with Max, Georgia for not telling Ellen about the bottles, and so on so forth. See how all the examples I listed are outlandish? That's the same with this rhetoric around Ginny, especially when she was one of the first to clock Abby's ED. And then there's the framing of her turning Marcus against Max, as if she has any control over his actions or that he's not his own person. Like, yeah sure, this female character is responsible for how this male character is acting, that makes perfect sense. This also plays into how some people have more sympathy for Max this season (which is fine, understandable), but were ready to crucify Ginny in the same breath for something that was blown out of proportion. It's also very telling that she's receiving more blame for the ANG breakup, as if, again, she has any control over Abby and Norah, and as if she led the charge. While I don't think either of the three were intentionally trying to leave Max out of everything, it's important to note that Abby and Norah played their parts as well. From downplaying/not adhering to Max's emotions when she shows how this affects her (Norah and Abby), to being kind of rude whenever she tries to discuss it (Abby). And while I don't think either Abby or Norah should receive hate, as they are teenage girls who were going through a lot this season that clouds how they act, I'm also not going to pretend that they aren't given more grace and justifications for their actions, especially Abby, in comparison to Ginny. I do think Ginny's line to Max at the party felt out of character, especially when she was shown to want to include Max and work on their friendship, I can admit that. However, some people are taking that line and are talking a little too strongly, saying that Ginny should be "grateful" that anyone ever gave her the time of day, as if that's how friendship should operate (it's not) or that she's a bitch and so on. It's getting really weird, because I hardly see anyone say that about Abby, who's been Max's friend since childhood. It's just very telling how much flak Ginny gets for every little thing in comparison to her (mostly yte too) counterparts. Anyways, Ginny Miller, they could never make me hate you.

Hey y'all! Do you have any recommendations for other plushie makers or designers with shops where I can buy their plushies?

[charles-leclerc-official]

I think we need to appreciate so called "cringe" fans of things more, they insulate fandom spaces and are often just the ones having fun. Fandom spaces being seen as "cringe" keeps out a lot of bad elements, they are important protectors of the ecosystem.

just dropping in real quick to let you know that I'm not dead lmao

i recently remembered DickTim Week 2024 is happening very soon and i looked at the prompts again to see if i could get anything out for it and. the Hades & Persephone AU prompt for day 1 has got me really thinking so here's a vague concept i plan to write.

i've been pretty burnt out on modern Hades & Persephone retellings because of how they always seem to fall into the same generic "innocent wide-eyed girl runs from her evil mean mother into the arms of a dark mysterious man because actually she went willingly and chose to marry him" which has gotten repetitive for my tastes. (for clarity i don't care if this retelling is your cup of tea personally, so long as you're not actively trying to rewrite the original myth and claim untrue things about it, if this is your favorite flavor i sincerely hope you enjoy the buffet i just have little interest in it since it feels overdone for me and exhausted of it's supposed commentary atp)

but? but. biblically accurate Hades & Persephone AU has me all kinds of interested. because wait listen so hear me out right. Hades!Dick and Persephone!Tim, obviously. i feel it'd be more loosely inspired by with themes and imagery (though playing with death and nature powers could be interesting, i haven't decided) rather than explicitly making them gods and all. but. something dark and fucked up where Dick and Bruce are especially estranged. maybe to do with Jason's return, maybe to do with them just clashing and having their usual explosive arguments. and Bruce knows the peace needs to be kept, if he and Dick are at odds then everyone starts to pick sides and things just fracture so he needs a peace offering.

and the peace offering is Tim.

Bruce (the stand-in for Zeus) offers up Tim. agrees to have Tim move to Bludhaven and be Dick's... whatever Dick wants him to be. knowing that with the implication comes the likelihood of Dick grooming Tim. and Tim has no real say and is hesitant to put up a real fight. he doesn't want this, he knows what this is going to imply Dick will do to him, but he also knows if he says no things have the possibility to just... fall apart. so he's the unwilling bride, dragged off to the metaphorical underworld (Bludhaven) with Dick, away from his family, his friends, the life he built.

and on the flip side, i think weirdly enough, your best pick for the Demeter stand-in is *Jason*. just, hear me out on that. not necessarily on the side of it being motherly, but on Jason being just estranged enough from the Batfamily to be the one willing to call it out for being bad and wrong and raising bloody hell to get Tim back. maybe it's because Jason wants Tim for himself, maybe it's truly out of a concern for Tim to have autonomy, i'm toying with the idea of it primarily being Tim's POV and him genuinely not knowing which of these is true. (and the truth possibly ends up being a complicated middle ground) and because i like Helena, i think you can use her as the Hekate stand in, the one who strikes a tentative alliance with Jason and tries to go find Tim and bring him back. Tim stuck with Dick, getting groomed and hyperaware of it, possibly even getting fucked the whole time as well, knowing he can't go back without causing massive issues for Dick and Bruce because well, Bruce did promise him to Dick. so he has to adjust his whole life, try to figure out being a vigilante in this new city with Dick breathing down his neck the whole time.

and then much like the ending of the myth, a sort of compromise is struck that's a shaky deal for everyone involved. Tim is put on an essential timeshare, going back and forth between Gotham, where he has friends and family and a support system, then getting dragged right back to Bludhaven with Dick in this brutal cycle that he slowly gets used to and stockholm'd into even liking it. Dick isn't so bad, once he gets used to the quirks of their unbalanced 'relationship'. the sex is even something he can adjust to as well. not quite a happy ending but one that sits in this realistic grey area that becomes Tim's life.

i will write this, eventually, but i don't know if i'll get to it before DickTim Week ends so by posting the idea i'm essentially putting it out into the world so the peer pressure holds me accountable. i just. really like the potential of making Hades/Persephone AUs as fucked up as they can be simply by adhering to the source material and making it a raw story of being stolen away and forced to like this new home you didn't ask for.

also a less fleshed-out aspect of this idea i have ties into Persephone becoming the Queen of the Underworld when she's taken and how the transition from Kore to Persephone could be reflected in Tim. how he makes the best of the worst situation and becomes something far more dangerous and dark when he's in Bludhaven, possibly takes on a new vigilante name/identity and leans into the worst quirks of his personality he tries to tamper because there's no point in not going full tilt Obsessively Weird if he has no choice anyway and it being one small way he takes back his autonomy, and that inevitably making Dick *more* into him, because he gets to see Tim finally just. let loose.

more experimenting with animation! under the creed of being the kind of stupidly artistically self-indulgent you want to see in the world, this is based on the opening of the first fic in my ever-fixed mark 'verse lol. I think my favourite part ended up being managing to capture at least some of blue's 'if not for the maddening physical realities of this my puny mortal form I would rip your chest open with my teeth and eat your heart dripping and raw in the marketplace you motherkriffer (psychosexual and unexaminedly horny undertones)' vibes, to contrast against zero's 'once I've explained to him the context behind my seeming sudden but inevitable betrayal the wedding is back on!!' nervous bridegroom energy

joining another fandom is remembering how I fumbled the ball in the previous one and I gotta breathe so deeply through my nose like I won't fuck it up this time
