Being a relatively new follower, I was pleasantly surprised to learn you're an Elvis fan, and I have two questions. What is this about an "Animal albums" series, and what did you think of that animated show, Agent Elvis? On the latter, I could take it or leave it.

Last year I started a little personal project where I redrew album covers / artists I enjoy as animals that I felt fit them.

I haven't seen Agent Elvis. This is going to sound like such a nitpicky gripe but I couldn't get past Matthew McConaughey's voice. Elvis Presley is probably the easiest human being to impersonate EVER -- so to hear McConaughey's 'give us nothing' approach made me recoil. I never advanced beyond watching the trailer.

That being said, I think Elvis's design in the show is very charming ! I'm a big fan of Robert Valley's work and I enjoy the fact that, in his own words, he "wanted him (Elvis) to look adorable and dangerous."

He understood the assignment.

#Trashtalk #G-G-Freak #On a sidenote : I don't actually watch a lot of animated media #A lot of it doesn't appeal to me #Adult animation even less so #It doesn't help that Agent Elvis was one of the many cash grabs to surface hot on the heels of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis.#Which is...a little grotesque to me #It seems like a certain someone has been taking notes from Colonel Tom Parker...

on March 14th 2023, a Polish abortion activist Justyna Wydrzyńska was sentenced to eight months of community service for helping a woman in an abusive relationship access abortion pills

Poland has one of the strictest abortion laws in Europe.

if you can, please consider donating to ADT, the organisation that helps people in Poland access abortion!

edit: i see this post got reblogged into the terf teritory. ADT is trans friendly. please just donate and be quiet <3

#luckily they still can appeal and it's better than jail still but like.#it's so stupid that so much time is wasted on those absurd trials #i know that community service doesn't sound that bad comparing to some other things happening around the world #but still at first she was told she could face up to 3 years in jail #idk those women are heros and make me feel much more safer and less stressed living in Poland #because I know if I ever needed an abortion they would be there to help me #and also 5 dollars is almost an equivalent of a minimum hourly wage in Poland #polish currency is weaker so even 2 dollars count a lot!#and the judge was a woman! same as the leader of the constitutional tribunal that made abortion more illegal #feminism #abortion #poland #human rights #reproductive rights

no change in the movies pisses me off more than them having peeta just scream "ur all gonna die!!!1!1" at the camera with the hard cut to haymitch going "that was a warning (empath)" when in the book it was peeta struggling to even get the warning out and literally everyone in 13 expect haymitch and katniss going "wtf did he mean by that he can't be trusted" to which haymitch had to desperately plead with coin to listen to the warning, because that's obviously what is was, and none of them know peeta except for him and katniss

Like as unintentionally funny as the scene in the movie is it wasn't even a moment in the books that makes haymitch seem all that clever, like they try to spin in it the movie, it was just him knowing and trusting peeta. It was a testiment to his love for the kid, not anything else ughhfhfjkdkdkf

#they really unintentionally dumb haymitch and katniss down #with this scene with the notes in the games by not showing us his games #like haymitch and katniss are incredibly clever and a lot of that is shown in the books by how they effortlessly understand each other #obviously a big one is ''im with the mockingjay''#but then communicating through gifts in the games #haymitch knowing exactly how to get katniss to be appealing on a screen #How he survived his games with the forcefield and figuring out the trick of the arena...#the list is endless but they cut out so many of the moments from the movies and focus on the wrong ones #so movie haymitch just doesn't hold the same punch to me and book haymitch #also forever mad about him being blonde in the movies #haymitch abernathy #the hunger games #:v

@mcyt-femslash - Week 4: Snow/Cultivation

So I know the "cultivation" part of this prompt meant like, plant cultivation, but I'm taking any excuse to draw wuxia au gempearl

#geminitay #geminitay fanart #pearlescentmoon #pearlesentmoon fanart #trafficshipping #traffic series #secret life smp #mcyt femslash #aprilshowersbringsmcytfemslash #mulberry's art tag #literally think the audience this appeals to is one: me #but that's all i need to draw something #anyway my thoughts for this au is that gem is like a sect leader's daughter so she's really high up in the world #and pearl is like a master swordswoman hired to protect her bc a lot of other sects try to attack the sect heir #mostly just vibes with this au ngl bc I am going through a tg//cf hyperfixation so their designs are lowkey inspired from that #(<- added slashes so this post doesn't pop up under the tg//cf tag by accident)#but anyway.... maybe there's also some secret identity stuff going on with pearl ;)

"ewww this character is so possessive and creepy" have you never known love? have you not spent years of your life afraid of your own hunger? does the safe catharsis of watching someone else eat their fill not appeal to you?

#''oh yanderes appeal to people bc everyone wants to be wanted'' maybe but like #everyone's also a little jealous #and we've all been taught to be ashamed #i like to think a lot of people are both predator and prey #they are indulging the parts of themselves that want to monopolize and be monopolized #they want the fantasy of not having to hide the ugly facets of their love and of being loved so much it creates a monster.#do you understand me.#also half the bitches people call creepy are normal #its a guy who gets jealous and feels bad about it and apologizes #doesn't even put the object of their affection in the attic or anything #smh #not fandom

Voted for Bumble bc of course but also if you think Alex would not pspsps Bumble you are wrong. If they could communicate they would go to therapy together /s

If then could communicate they would go to therapy together

/GEN

Kyle/Green Lantern resurrects her but then he becomes convinced that she's not the same person she was before the incident, OR SOMETHING SOMETHING Black Lanterns aren't ACTUALLY bad they're just misunderstood Grim Reaper types, in either case Alex ends up breaking it off with Kyle because they've become very different people.

And then Bumble's there

And then they go to therapy or Alex adopts Bumble, and then uhhh Bumble's like one of the superpets. Like Krypto the Superdog. Free premise go forth and play with it if ur a DC fan

#bone babble #Again I don't actually know a lot about the DC universe besides what my friend tells me #But also from reading into the Black Lanterns having them be evil sound like a WHOLE wasted opportunity #Lanterns are supposed to be emotions yeah? so why the hell are we downplaying the emotion of GRIEF?#There's a whole lot you could do with that actually. Death doesn't deserve to just be a villain of the week #And hell. You could explore some WILD emotions here about Alex becoming so much more than Kyle's tragedy #Can I still mourn you when you aren't dead?#What does it mean for me that the worst thing that ever happened to me has become an opportunity for her?#And... does this make me selfish for not being happy for her?#For not trying to understand the person she has become? for only thinking of how this impacts myself #RE: THIS IS NOT A DIG AT DC FANS #BUT I want to share that like... a reason I've kinda had a hard time getting into comics is because like... really interesting premises--#like that often get turned into Monster-of-the-Week struggles for the heroes to punch into submission #I've probably just seen really bad summaries or not found the editions that would appeal to me specifically #But it's kinda why the only DC hero I'm really interested in is Superman #Because a lot of his thing is that he's a good GUY #And that creates a lot of interesting moral questions #Like YES he's a good guy. YES he has no ulterior motive. But what if he DID?-- how can EVERYONE ELSE in the universe truly know that-#for sure?#And that's cool and I really like the snippets I've seen especially between him and batman #But anyway. so much fridging and misogyny in the world of comics has kinda turned me away from getting into it #because. VERY often. Misogyny can be... *tied* to a bit of a lack of imagination. Or empathy on behalf of a particular writer #RE: There is good stuff in DC PLEASE understand im not trying to be insulting

I don't really consider myself objectum because I mostly prefer people and I'm not dating an object nor do I really want to. However I will say that IMO the most attractive objects are houses, white marble statues, and old black arcade cabinets

#personal #suggestive text #most the object stuff on tumblr just seems to be home computer stuff and that doesn't really appeal to me but cool yknow #(or like plushies)#tech has a lot of guts and working parts and often has parts that can move so it makes sense it's popular as an objectum thing to me #well arcade cabinets count as tech too. but i never see it #i do think it's kind of funny that since objectum had its popularity phase u see a lot of people doing the ''objects sexy'' thing here #and then they aren't. actually into objects. they just thought it was purely metaphorical #and then they get surprised when they learn there's people who are actually sexually/romantically attracted to objects...#(man i understand being for real about liking objects when i look at those all-black arcade cabinets)#hehe okay i'll stop talking now

i love your fics and the ideas you describe for the ask games. i'm especially fond of your takes on the rarer pairings and i always smile when i see your posts in the ship tags <3

and don't stress too much about not posting anything, real life is important and participating in fandom should be fun, not something you have to force yourself to do. god knows fandom burnout is real, especially if you feel like people are expecting something from you. just keep doing what makes you happy :)

ghgfhgjhkjhjhg this was so sweet, thank you so much! i *love* talking about rarer rarepairs, especially if it gets other people to ship them too. the popular ships are fun and all, but i truly love spreading rarepair propaganda.

that's very reassuring, thank you <3 i've loved everything i posted here so far and have not felt pushed to post anything i haven't enjoyed, but sometimes i forget i can like. use this blog for whatever i want and not *just* headcanons/fics/mets/etc lol. and i also forget i don't have to rush myself. it's annoying to want to write and either not have time or not have the words work. i used to run a fandom blog in my teens that got very large and felt like a chore and i was so stressed about the need to perform and the numbers and all of that. like if a fic didn't do well i saw it as a personal failing and forced myself to write popular headcanons just for the numbers game. was not fun or sustainable in the long run and i think it contributed to me no longer having any taste for the ship i primarily wrote for. so for too long i treated existing in fandom like a job lol. i've mostly gotten it through to myself that this is a space for me, but i occasionally forget when i'm so caught up in all the things i want to get to for this blog. my to-write list is a mile long and i need to be bonked with a paper towel roll, i think. so it's very kind of you to say this bc the reminder is nice <3

#necrotic answerings #kindly praise #this was *so* sweet anon wtf #i'm not naming the blog i used to run #yes it still exists #and it's not hard to find if you really hunt my digital footprint tbh. i don't hide my main blog #both this blog and that blog are mentioned on my main so you could find it if you looked i'm not hiding it just also not advertising it #at my height i had about 4k followers over there #which in tumblr numbers for the ship i was writing felt like a lot to 15 yr old me #overall enjoyed it but *man*. it did get rough trying to game the system #bc generally even now when i'm writing a fic i *know* how it's going to preform #i've been surprised a couple times but typically #the combining factors of the ship's popularity and the concept's appeal to popular headcanon make it easy for me to parse out #and tbh it doesn't bother me anymore. like i know if i write say timcass or jeantim #it will not preform like jaytim will #and i'm okay with that #i write timcass bc *i* want to write timcass #so yk. i'm having fun #i just forget i can be more “low effort” on the blog too #esp bc i gained followers far quicker than i expected #i've had this blog for barely two months and i almost have 200 followers #made me shooketh i tell you.#i expected this to be yelling into some kind of void.#i wanna do something to celebrate hitting 200 but i'm unsure what #maybe i'll save it for 250 idk #anywhore.#ty anon i'm going to staple this ask to my forehead <3

i don't really like confessions blogs because i feel like they just fuel the fire for fandom discourse but ngl i agree with pretty much everything that's been posted on the is*t one so far so i'm okay with it for now lol 👍

#bwark #like i said it before that s*floop just doesn't really hit for me when it comes to see them romantically #and i feel like there is this expectation to ship them #SPOILER TAG INCOMING I DON'T WANT TO SPOILER TAG THIS SO THIS IS YOUR WARNING:#/#//#///#////#/////#i just can't get behind selfcest at all i think. not like as a moral thing because i think people who have it on their dnis are weird #just it doesn't appeal to me #ik i'm saying that when emery and i have a running joke about us being the same people because we think so alike but ultimately obviously we #are different people and not actually the exact same person #and like i still support the ship at a distance for my mutuals who ship it but tbh i think those two being some secret 17th thing is far #more interesting #also the ''loop joining the party feels forced'' anon is so real too. im sorry but i cannot see loop ever seeing siffrin's party the same #way they viewed their own #the best take though was the one about how a lot of post-loop fan content feels very infantilizing to siffrin #fucking THANK YOU jesus christ this shit drives me mad #there's being concerned and protective and then there's constant helicoptering around him and treating him like a child #and so many fics fall into the latter #in a similar vein i personally hate when it feels like a lot of people give siffrin the idiot ball #like.......they're forgetful not clueless??? there's a difference????

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.

Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.

#da2 #dragon age 2 #sebastian vael #listen in my defense..........i don't like bringing sebastian anywhere sksksks #okay look i seriously tried but every time i bring him somewhere i always think man i wish i had brought someone else #and also i do just forget about him! i finally added him to my party at one point and he had 24 points to spend...#that's how long i neglected him after i promised myself i was gonna use him more and then i didn't #it's not that i don't like sebastian as a character though i do tend to side eye him A LOT... it's just that i like everyone else more #even aveline like i'd take aveline over sebastian any day and that's saying something... or is it? i have a lot of feelings about aveline #whereas my feelings about sebastian could maybe fill a thimble...it doesn't help that in my canon run as a mage hawke #i romance anders and well... sebastian wants me to kill anders and my hawke is like 'do i approve of blowing up the chantry? complicated.'#'am i breaking up with anders for this? absolutely. do i still love him? mmhmmm. am i going to kill him sebby? i'd sooner set varric aflame #then sebastian threatens to bring an army to kirkwall and leaves so i can't say i have the greatest opinion on him #even the time where i did kill anders and he stayed in my party he was just... there #and then he glitched out and started t posing while asking if ed ever found out what anders wanted to do in the chantry so..... yeah #but even this playthrough where i'm playing as a lady warrior with a different personality and everything... i'd just rather use anyone els #also keep him away from bethany i do not approve sksksks she's too good for him #i want to understand and see the different angles of him like with the other companions but i've yet to convince myself to do it #also sebastian romancers out there can you like... explain? genuinely can you explain the appeal? i'm curious #because of all the love interests in da2 i look at sebastian and you'd think i'd maybe be more interested? but it's like...#i know about the chaste marriage and everything like that's fine i don't need sex to be a thing in the relationship but it feels less like #an asexual romance and more like... y'know... being with a priest and i guess that's just not one of my kinks? sksksks #i guess there's also the prince angle but i romanced alistair in dao and kept him a grey warden i don't really care about royalty power #and i don't have issues with him being a part of the chantry [well i do but yknow what i mean] since i romanced cullen in dai #and his whole deal with the chantry and magic and shit makes his romance interesting to me but sebastian is just.... a bit too much i think #i don't know i'd like to understand because i really don't but i also keep forgetting about him

hm

I wonder if I'm getting a bit sick of star wars

like there are the things that make me happy about it, especially obi-wan and the prequels and tcw but also like

I'm frustrated about what they did with ahsoka, and then I'm also just not finding fic that I can vibe with and the fandom just feels so…empty?

which is wild because it's definitely got bigger since I joined, but idk, it just feels like in the obi-wan fandom circles, it just feels like it's shrinking. and I think part of it is everyone being really busy with irl things (myself included) and then whatever is left in the sw fandom in general is just stuff i don't vibe with

but then I keep seeing it over and over and over again so now it's just irritating to me

like. yeah there are ships/tropes that I don't vibe with at all and I usually try to steer clear of them when looking for fic to read, but these days it feels like that's all I can find. so now I'm frustrated and tired and not really getting the fic fix that I want

and normally my solution to this is to just write what I want to read, but I don't have the mental space to do it, so I'm just. stuck.

a part of me feels bad to complain about this, but idk I'm gonna put it out there anyways. it's just like the fandom feels completely different than it did when I first joined, or even like 2-3 years ago, and I'm not sure if I'm happy about it.

#i think a lot of this also has to do with being firmly in the post kenobi show era and trying to figure out how to move on from that #like i don't feel much excitement for any upcoming sw content now #that might change depending on what they announce yet but. idk the ahsoka series really put me off #like idk if i'll continue watching mandoverse stuff. kinda feel like i'm done with that stuff #i'll definitely watch andor s2 and i'll definitely play the third jedi game #and then when it comes to fic i think it'll help once i have the brainspace to write #but i feel like i'm right about finding fic to read #which to be clear is no one's fault exactly #people are gonna write what they wanna write and they SHOULD #but as a reader i'm also gonna read what i feel would appeal to me most #and right now it's very difficult to find anything that does #even when it doesn't feel like i have a lot of things that i'm looking for maybe i am? without realizing it at least #idk #anyways #i have a weird relationship with sw. moral of the story #pandora's ramblings

#rrrrrrgfhfhfhfhf worked myself up into the Art Block Brain Funk again =__=#i feel like... i don't know if i know how to explain the feeling I'm dealing with #like when I'm doing other things the idea of drawing or writing seems appealing #but as soon as i have the opportunity to sit down and maybe start/work on something...#i just feel like... what's the point :|#i don't feel like i have anything to say anymore. I don't feel like i make art that means anything #i know on my last sketch i said i was trying to reacclimate to making ''pointless art'' but. why would i want to #why spend the time and mental effort if it doesn't make me feel anything. it's not going to make anyone else feel anything #and i feel like I'm treading dangerously close to ''well i don't want to make art if it doesn't get lots of views :(((''#but that's not really it. or not entirely at least.... idk #i don't know how else to characterize it except everything in my head feels shallow.#like why would i expect this (whatever it is) to warrant or deserve anyone else's attention. why would i deserve that #what do i really think i can add to the conversation

monsterkisser fake peppino fans, can y'all please make sure your version of the character clearly and visibly passes the harkness test at minimum before getting too weird about him or his relationships with other characters, ok thx bye

#fake peppino #it doesn't have to be weird but I feel like a lot of people are making it weird #tbh despite not viewing fake pep as super animalistic (w/ exceptions) I'm uncomfortable with taking him that direction in general #just bc that's not his appeal to me? he's spooky and unsettling and goofy and has a lot of deeper character potential imo #it feels genuinely incompatible for him to be involved in anything romantic when he's all about body horror and obsessively being peppino #but it grows weirder with the context of the current pt fandom making him out to be a strange silly dog both mentally and in mannerisms #combined with the consensus he can't speak coherently and uh. yeah. please reconsider your portrayal #if you're going to take him in a more kissy direction
