I was just re-watching the rue one, and I was wondering if z had any interviews talking about that day because that must’ve been so exhausting like it’s so good

i think she talked about it a bit in her Actors on Actors with Andrew? and maybe in some other Euphoria ones? they did very limited press for S2 because of Covid. there were only a handful of interviews all on Zoom if i remember right

Hello hello <3

I need your expertise!! I’m thinking about writing for dc characters, especially titans, but I’m not a dc specialist, my knowledge is very little :(

Should I try or wait to be more educated, and what are your tips on writing dc characters ??

Lots of love ;)

hi hi !!

honestly this is such an exciting ask to get, I'm honoured that you thought of coming to me for advice <3

I would say go for it !! I think a huge part of writing is learning as you go and developing skills / knowledge as you practice. I'm not a dc expert either !! there are a lot of times when I pause my writing to open one of my comics to fact-check or to text a friend who I think knows - honestly, my biggest piece of writing advice (and life advice let's be real lmao) is to never stop yourself from doing something because you don't feel like you're good enough / smart enough / whatever <3

oh oh and tips !! hmmm let's see

for me, personally, I'm much more character driven than plot driven, which I'm sure you can see in my fics ahaha so I always make sure I have a firm image of the character's personality, the reader's personality, and their relationship. most of my planning goes into that dynamic and making sure that I'm pairing the character with a reader who makes sense for them and can give them a compelling story specifically, I always want a reader who will challenge them in some way - i.e. Timmy's reader being, in ways, smarter than him and tripping him up bc of that, Jason's reader having that devotion that he doesn't think he deserves and challenging his lack of self-worth, etc. - I hope you get what I mean !!

to circle back to not being a dc expert, it's still ok !! if you aren't sure about certain aspects of a character's personality, genuinely I always think it's ok to just,,, fill in the gaps by yourself, ya know ? I'm a firm believer that it's fanon, not canon, and if people don't like your characterization / don't like you diverging from canon, then you're writing probably just isn't for them ! and they should read canon content lmao. you're the writer !! you're allowed to take some creative liberties and bend the characters a lil bit to fit your ideas <3

ok ok I know that was a lot !! but I hope it helped a lil <33 and I am always always around if you wanna swing by and ask for input / second opinions / talk abt ideas / whatever !

no one cares but sky's theme colour* is light blue, which makes sense since bloom's main theme colour is blue, too. brandon's is green, like stella's civilian outfits in earlier seasons. riven's is a pink-purple hue, again corresponding with musa, who wears a lot of purple, red/pink, and blue

then timmy's theme colour is yellow? which makes no sense to me since tecna hardly wears yellow, her main theme colour is lilac purple, accented with lime green. couldn't his theme colour be a yellow-green in contrast to brandon's cool, blue-green to correspond with tecna? alternatively a light purple would have sufficed, not pinkish like riven's but more of that lilac purple

and then we get to helia, whose theme colour is a yellow-orange, not at all corresponding with flora's main theme colours of pink and green. shouldn't it be green or pink, even a reddish-pink?

i understand that pInK iS fOr GiRls, and since helia is the most typically feminine of the specialists, the character designers probably didn't want to confuse audiences. still, the point still stands that almost all of the girls correspond in colour with their boyfriends, apart from tecna and timmy, and flora and helia. i just don't get why these rules would be established for some characters, and not others

'but tumblr user hoziersgf,' i hear you protest, 'if all the specialists corresponded with all the winx, the visual landscape of the show would be dull and boring. doesn't it make more sense for the show that the heroes don't perfectly match the fairies, and add to its visual interest?' and i don't disagree, but the fact that timmy and helia both have shades of yellow as their theme colours is paradoxically confusing and boring to me

the opposite of purple on the colour wheel is yellow, so it at least makes some sense for timmy's uniform, but helia wearing an ochre yellow to contrast flora's pink and green seems nonsensical. yellow might mesh better with the blue red fountain uniforms than pink or green. still, i think helia should have worn some iteration of either colour to match flora, to cohere with the pre-established rules presented in the show's use of colour

The husband for Maui that I mentioned may or may not be a basically ooc Fintan that my gf twisted into someone else 👉👈

Maui works best in a dynamic of "Oh I'm as bad as you mentally but God are you hot" and then that progresses into "Oh no we made each other better how did that work aaaand you are basically a cat" as Maui does, in fact, purr and enjoy being pet on the head (He's also just incredibly touch starved)

Maui is a "Doubts everyone even the people close to him" paranoid. Like, he very easily gets attached to certain types of people. He loves very easily. He's attracted very easily, some would say like a moth to a flame. He- he doesn't have friends. He has his Brother, his Sister, and his two adoptive fathers. His father's had a whole thing of enemies to lovers and his sister is very firey and quick to start arguments with Maui and, on more than one occasion, these arguments end with her telling him to commit die- They do make up and she apologises but yeah. His brother is the Sweetest person anyone has ever known and is always nice and kind and understanding and he's an absolute buff sweetheart with his own little animal sanctuary, so who cares if he's a little bit of a kleptomaniac and has landed in prison because of it. Maui buys small items and keeps them in his pockets for Jett to take if his kleptomania is acting up. Jett has a garlic bread tattoo

Maui is a very sad, lonely man that fills the cracks in his heart with sex that he doesn't even want in some cases but the primal act itself helps to distract himself from the crashing and huringa of his life around him as he struggles to keep his mental health afloat and not crack into rubble and go flat out crazy and on a murderous rampage like he was trained to do by the lady that took him after he escaped his r@pist

That's not to say that he doesn't genuinely enjoy sex and is a very sexual person! Just yeah, it's a bad habit and a little of an addiction. In most cases he Hangs around clubs for the sexy men and women, and for the alcohol they serve. Almost all of his outfits contain a show of his very nice chest

Dude knees are so fucking weird and I don't like drawing them they suck. Also!! I think that eyes blinking are a good place to start!! They're pretty simply and they don't require too many frames

Oh Maui spends so much time appreciating himself in the mirror. He has tried to make out with the mirror but it's not the same (;-;) but he does enjoy a good masturbation session in the mirror

Don't fire the sun and replace it with Maui!! That's a very bad idea no matter how much he tries to tell you otherwise!! Colour theory is so fuckey and I don't even know what I'm doing aside from Blue + Orange = Brown, grey, and teal; Red + Green = Dusty rose, grey, and shit colour; Yellow + purple = Beige, grey, and a sad purple

I know, I have tried to escape him in the past but it never works out and I spent many a days thinking about him. Having an outlet through art and talking about him has been helping, though!! Now I'm not in my head 24/7 and instead enjoying watching Maui run around the public park of your tumblr and my sketchbook. I'll have to submit a picture of him without eyebrows eventually

-Heathen

There's something about Fintan where people just take him and completely dissect him and rearrange the parts into an entirely different person, and I think that's beautiful. Shout out to your gf for twisting him <33

(post got long so here's a cut)

Listen the best romances are being deeply deeply fucked up in the head and then making each other better. That's just how you do it. The attraction and then the affection, it's a delectable path to take. Finding out how much they like each other afterwards, something small turning into something much bigger. If there's some internal conflict over the whole matter that just makes it spicier. Becoming a cat later in the relationship I think is just natural progression. When you're touch starved you simply gotta full out go for it. Head pets and all. Though that does sound very Maui of him to be a cat

Also, that makes sense. being paranoid when he loves easily is certainly an interesting combination! Could be some story there about how he's fighting with himself over it because he wants so badly to be loved and to love others but doesn't know who, if anyone, he can trust.

His family does sound very nice though, aside from the sister arguments. I'm curious about this enemies to lovers thing his adoptive dad had--and also how he came to be adopted by them. I know this family exists but I have no clue how it came to be formed. I know that after he ran away from his bio mother he at some point came under the tutelage of the. Woman. Lady. Manon! That's her name. But between Manon and two dads i don't know how the switch happened. Also shout out to Jett for being the best person to ever exist. i know very little about him but I, too, love garlic bread. and animals. iffy on dogs though because they make many bad sounds. anyway!

You know I am absolutely not surprised that Maui fills the holes in his life with sex (pardon the word choice, I'm kind of sorry). You said that he's kind of addicted and uses it to try and distract himself and keep him afloat and I just went yeah that checks out. Maui fucks. Sex can be very complicated mentally, so I am wishing Maui the best in terms of figuring out his mental health!! Perhaps there are better ways to do it but you know what it sounds like no one is getting hurt so that's a positive. Showing off his chest and having sex is less destructive than others ventures. I mean, I think he'd show off his chest regardless of whether it was in a sexual manner or not, but also a lot of what he does is sexual. he simply is that kind of person

I'm so glad someone else agrees with me on the knees thing. they are so so weird and we don't talk about it enough. weird is not bad in this context it is simply weird. You know I don't think I have to draw them very often but when I do it is with bafflement and bemusement. Also in terms of animating blinking I will find a way to overcomplicate it. That's not to say I think I couldn't do it I just know myself well enough to know exactly what will happen if I try.

Maybe if Maui tried to make out with the mirror again it would work better. After all, first kisses aren't telling of kissing overall, so maybe he just needs more practice! or a different mirror. Then again giving the track record he has to far I'd assume he'd rather spend his time enjoying those masturbation sessions than failing to make out with mirror him. Perhaps he doesn't need a mirror at all and should go with a more Narcissus route! Make out with a lake!

Reports indicate deaths are in the dozens of billions, Barbara. Cindy is live on the scene and she's saying that someone has...am I hearing this right? Apparently someone has replaced that sun--you heard me right folks, someone has replaced the sun with a mysterious, unidentified man. Details of his appearance are unknown, as all spectators could see was glimpses of a revealed chest, but I will keep you updated as the story develops. [she will not, she will also die in the billions without the sun :/]

I don't know if I've ever consciously paid attention to color theory in my life so I'm just listening to you like you're a wizard. I go based on vibes and what looks alright as I'm drawing.

Also I love the descriptor of my tumblr as a public park, like yes you're so right people can just come here and look and things and also put things there and everyone can just hang out. Does this make me the caretaker of the park? Because if so I think I'd like to turn this into kind of a mystic park situations. I don't know how to explain the vibe in my head. It exists outside of time and is welcoming to all, a haven, a refuge from the outside, but it is also slightly incomprehensible and bigger than life. Things make no sense but you don't question them. The caretaker has been there for centuries yet has always looked the same. Park that's actually a magic realm vibes. That's not the point though the point is that Maui is running haphazardly around the park and refuses to leave <33

he is very sweet so thank you for sharing him with me/unleashing him on my park!

I didn't realize Jude Law was going to be playing Captain Hook in the new Peter Pan adaptation, and I'm actually somewhat interested in seeing it now. Do you think you'll like him as Hook? (Also, sorry if you've already posted about this before. 😅)

i was initially really excited about the jude law casting, because 1) i think he's a very good actor and he often plays appealing charmers - check and check, and 2) he's quite handsome. definitely at hook level if your tastes lay that way, and mine do. i was actually very excited about the entire cast -- sunny pawar has been my mental peter for eons, so i was thrilled that they cast someone of indian descent as peter pan, and bebe ever anderson would have made an adorable wendy -- but then the pandemic delay happened and both mains got too old for their roles. i grew increasingly less enchanted as more details came out about this production, not least when i saw this

at which point i realized that disney had thrown away their ace -- jude law handsomeness -- in favor of making hook as sexually unappealing as possible, which meant the director-writer ignored a few major og story elements and the rest of the production would probably suffer the same fate. nail in the coffin: per jude himself, he wanted his hook to be "scarred and gnarly and disgusting" which is just - NOT HOOK?? AT ALL?? even the asexual cartoon disney hook was still distinctly HOOK. jason issacs has already shown the world that a messy handsome elegant pathetic scary hook CAN AND SHOULD be done. this movie has no excuse for itself.

anyway. i'm not eager to give the time of day to a production that appears to have intentionally sailed right past the point. the last time i was this excited for a movie was the dakota johnson persuasion, which left me with PTSD; even knowing ahead of time that i'll be devastated, i'm not eager to go through that again (i was SO excited, y'all 😔). i've seen nearly every peter pan adaptation/prequel/sequel that exists, so i know i'll watch it someday - probably through my fingers - but i've got to fortify myself with about 100 watches of the jason issacs version first. a girl can only take so much.
