dinosaurs are like the coolest thing possible for a child to learn about. it’s like hey i know you were just borned but giant monsters are real and they fought each other in wars for 100000000000 years and then blew up when the sky exploded.

Idk why but from that small description the spreen mall OC (does he have a name yet?) sounds like a weed smoking skater boy to me

oh he 100% is. 100%

his name is stephen now. definitely not because bugsy and i didn’t know what to name him and just called him ‘steve’ in a slightly fancier font. definitely not

Hello! Just a quick question, but are you alright with private dms?

sure, i’m alright with them! i’m just pretty socially awkward, so if it’s just for chit chat and i don’t recognize you, i might not always reply. like, if you just message me ‘hi’ and we’ve never interacted before, i might not know what to say, that’s all

[comfymoth]

listen. that blinkie in my pinned that says ‘ceo of werewolf aus’?? that MEANS something. i take that shit SERIOUSLY

in light of new research suggesting that "cracking open your ribcage and reaching your hand into your chest cavity to present your still beating heart to the object of your affections" maybe be detrimental to cardiac health, scientists are suggesting seeking out other, equally as intimate and terrifying alternatives, such as telling them a song very close to your heart reminds you of them

Does Leon also have a toxic exfriend he had a crush on like his cube counterpart?

oh you bet he does. the last time leon saw him, it was in the parking lot outside the mall’s cheesecake factory. he does not like to talk about what happened in the parking lot outside the mall’s cheesecake factory. in fact he avoids that specific parking lot at all costs.

his taste in men so far has been. um. questionable? bad? doomed? for as long as he can remember he’s just been cursed to like boys it won’t work out with. ravi’s the first exception— although it takes a while to convince quinn of that

Your mall project oc's are based off of Roier, Cellbit, Jaiden, and Quackity right? Like I looked at them for the first time and went "that is a remix of my favorite cubitos".

yep!! it started out as just an au, but bugsy and i realized we were getting a little too crazy with the headcanons so we just turned them into oc’s. i might feel a little bit bad about stealing them if this was something i intended to publish, but it’s just for fun, so i think stealing cubitos is completely fair game

oh, stars

as someone who has only watched the series 1 time through, i would LOVE to hear some takes on jurassic park hit me right in the love-video-essay part of my brain

HAHA okay so, i just finished rambling to my friend zanna about this so i’ll really just repeat what i said to him, but— considering that jurassic park (the original one) is a early 90’s blockbuster thriller? it’s kind of insane how much it lets the characters play with gender roles.

i’ll store this under a cut cos it’ll get long, but—

ellie satler is truly one of The Characters Of All Time to me, and they let her be such a badass. satler gets to spend the action portion of the movie doing all the classic action hero shit while grant is doing what? taking care of the kids. one of my favorite shots in the movie is at the end when they’re in the helicopter, and satler is in her tank top with her hair a mess, looking, again, like any other early 90’s action hero, and watching over grant as he holds the kids. the camera assumes her perspective for this, too, it goes from her face looking ahead, to grant and the kids, then back to her face and her reaction. it’s almost paternal. it’s awesome.

satler even starts the film in pink and ends it in blue. grant doesn’t go through quite the same color change, but his blue shirt does get stained so bad the color is impossible to see by the end. it’s just a warm brown. it’s a visual swap. and it’s mirrored by the fucking dinosaurs swapping sex, which, y’know what grant says when they discover that? ‘nature finds a way.’ it’s natural! inevitable, even! and no matter what kind of control you try to exert, you cannot stop it from happening. and going back to that ending shot i just talked about— it’s positioned as a happy conclusion.

and that’s not even really talking about malcolm taking the place of the stereotypical female role in action movies (objectified, romance-driven, etc), or lex getting to be a computer genius (a male dominated subject at the time) and getting to use that to save everyone during the climax of the film!

it’s not perfect, obviously, it’s a blockbuster from ‘93. it still slips and falls here and there and i’m sure like half of this wasn’t even intentional. but i think it’s cool

[comfymoth]

I wonder why

[comfymoth]

Are there more mall au chatacters besides our main 4?

we do have some background characters, mostly family members of the main four— like ravi’s sister cassandra, leon’s grandfather abuelo hidalgo, milo’s. like. four or five other siblings who don’t all have names yet— and there’s cassandra’s girlfriend angela! but no one really major, no

it’d be fun to draw some of them sometime, cos they Do all have loosely planned designs, there’s just some details that need finalizing :3
