The phrase "thank you for being both amazing actors and amazing people" is written across most of the images one word at a time, except for the two images in the middle. The middle images are of William Shatner, reading "not you!" and Robert Beltran, reading "or you for that matter".

first con, first cosplays! animethon!

day 1: casual hu tao

day 2: cyno

day 3: gorou

I hand-made half of cyno and gorou. I used bought cosplays as the base and built off of them. i don't have the skills (this was the first time I sewed anything) and didn't have the time to make everything from scratch. so I just remade and improved some parts by 3d printing, sewing, gluing, using foam, and painting. it took months and was a lot of work 😅

So I’ve been into Sam and Max for a few weeks now and learned some stuff about the making of the cartoon, more specifically that whole thing with how Max was apparently supposed to be genderbended, which got me thinking.

Ok so first off, the context of what I’m talking about : in an interview, Steve Purcell talked about the show and mentioned how the Geek was a boy at first, which prompted the executives to ask for a female character, specifically requesting for Max to be a woman. The interview is on youtube, with the video called “Steve Purcell on Sam & Max”. And between the title and what is said, I’m assuming the guy talking is indeed Purcell.

The reason why it got me thinking is due to a comparison with two other cartoons, “Pinky and the Brain” and “Darkwing Duck”.

  Thing is, all three cartoons have that same theme of two guys working together, with a lot of gay subtext put into the mix. But there’s one thing both PatB and Darkwing have that Sam and Max doesn’t : a woman that serves as romantic interest.

In PatB, you have Billie for Brain and Pharfignewton for Pinky. As for Darkwing, you have Morgana as a love interest for Drake.

(Funnily enough for PatB, both relationships have some gay subtext. Billie and Pinky have similar personalities, making it look like Brain fell for a “girl Pinky”, while for the second relationship, Pinky calls out people’s intolerance everytime he gets questioned for liking a horse, preaching that love is love.)

  But in Sam and Max, there isn’t a single character that fits that role. Sure, you can have a woman showing attraction to the boys there and there, but it’s never something that drags on for the whole episode, let alone the show.

From what I remember, the closest we got to that was that “Honeybunny” secretary, and even this led to a joke about Max thinking Sam is talking to him, followed by the secretary seemingly making a move on Sam with Max immediately jumping in-between them. And her appearance at the end of the episode doesn’t lead to anything either.

(Reminder that I’m only talking about the cartoon here, hence why I’m not mentioning Mama Bosco in S2. Tho, even then, the whole dialogue with her is the duo trying to convince her that Max isn’t interested. And even after making Max act straight, you can talk to him afterwards and he comments on how it’s only going to last a month before he’ll “be back to normal”. So she’s not much of a love interest either. Also side note but Max calling his lack of attraction for women “him being normal” is absolutely amazing, especially coming from an early 2000s game !)

  My point with this : while I know they wanted a female character for representation, the fact that the executives saw this show’s idea and asked for one of the titular characters to be turned into a woman definitely feels a bit sus.

Tbh, when I first heard the interview, a few days afterwards I forgot that the executives were the ones who asked for female!Max and for a moment thought that they asked for more “female companionship”, only for Purcell to show up with the idea of making Max a woman. And while this isn’t how it happened, it would’ve been very funny.

Like, imagine someone is making a show with gay subtext between the main duo, so you ask the creator to make a female character (*wink* *wink*), only for the creator to come back with one of the two guys genderbended. Because fuck it, if these guys have to be in a het relationship, it will be with each other !

  Thinking about it, the fact that the executives asked for female!Max might actually make it funnier. I mean, imagine you pitch a show with two male leads that has some gay jokes here and there, and instead of saying “give one of them a girlfriend or something, this is the 90s !”, the executives basically went “wanna make their relationship even more explicit ? :D”

No because let’s be honest here, had they gone through with genderbending Max, and given the amount of subtext this cartoon has (if you can call it subtext honestly…This is plain text at times), Sam and female!Max would have absolutely been an item. Or at least a lot of cishet of the time would have assumed them to be.

the best damn thing about this au is how it's catchphrase is practically "What have we done"

Both for the characters within the au, and us who keep adding the most fucking glorious plot twists ever.

Behold: My oldest consistent worldbuilding project! It turns 4 in October.

So this is Oremus. It's been a LONG time in the making; the season labels are just whatever season the set of countries celebrates most (the people in it use the region names kind of like hemispheres). It's an alien planet full of deerlike people, with two suns, and every 6 years it switches between which sun it orbits around.

This all happened because I was bored at work one day and had just watched Mary and the Witch's Flower, and decided I wanted a flower like that, but rose gold. So I build an entire planet around it (with a LOT of help and tinkering from @doin-a-heckin-science) and worked with it over the years and...yeah. Here we are!

Its language is still a mess. I need to conlang for it, but that effectively means conlanging an entire history to make it all work. So that's...going to take awhile. But I have everything else, for the most part, done; magic, politics, alien biology, regional ethnicities, everything.

Bonus content, here's my skin tone reference map for when I'm making characters for it:

being neurodivergent is all fun and games until you remember those hourly quote bots on twitter and think well maybe I can't make a bot anymore but I could schedule a few quotes a day, that shouldn't be hard. it sounds fun to have a bunch of quotes of my favorite character Thirteen from hit mobile game Obey Me! and its sequel Obey Me! Nightbringer. and then you think about how arduous collecting the quotes is going to be but she's only been in the games for maybe a year and a half with little screentime and you love collecting things so you start but then you remember that you love collecting things so naturally you have ALL of her screentime in the game and suddenly you have 45k characters of quotes and are several lessons into season 4 (which is truly a trial in and of itself) but not nearly close enough to the end but you refuse to just stop collecting the quotes and make the account with the EXCESS of what you have already because you literally only have season 4 to get through and if you don't do it just seeing the bot (because now you've been informed you can make tumblr bots instead) will haunt you with that knowledge even if nobody else would ever know. this is a general anecdote of a situation that could easily happen to anyone though and not in any way related to my life

okay ... so i realize - i have wes' main age as being 19 ... aka the age he died ... but also have that he died only a few month into college. because i was not thinking when i wrote his bio. anyways i really don't want to change anything to be honest so i think i'll either just say he has one of those weird birthdays or he started kindergarten late or something. i know no one is probably overthinking this as much as i am ... but i'm me & it's my muse so - but yeah, he didn't start college late or anything. he was honestly out of his parents home as soon as he could be, so just weird birthday or whatever ...
