I got blocked 🧍
a little addition to the last post/reblog,
I do genuinely understand where contrarians come from calling indie web projects "formulaic" or w/e but that does NOT mean I agree with em
I think theres a valid way to have that argument and opinion! Just, yknow without the subtle homophobic + sexist undertones 😰
Im gonna use TADC as an example here-
A lot of people like to dismiss it as like, cliche food bait for popular tropes but like, do any amount of research into Goose and shes always been like this /pos
Sometimes- people just like making their things funky and weird!/pos
Have you considered that people just like those tropes-?
Another example is Welcome Home- which got SUPER knocked off by some people as just cliche tropes bright colors with edgy horror themes, again,
These creators arent making these things because theyre popular bait or sm shit, they just like this stuff!! Theres so many creators that are finally getting the opportunity, freedom, tools and skills to make what they have in mind! I genuinely believe its just a new generation of creators with like minds growing up and were seeing them rise at the same time :) Im saying this as someone who also doesnt really like mascot horror game tropes </3
im not personally a big fan of superhero tv shows where every episode is mostly the same thing with a different scenario/villain
GUESS WHAT ! IM LITERALLY MAKING A PILOT FOR A VILLAIN/HERO SHOW !
There are aspects of that trope i really like! Things i intend to tinker with but its still so easy to just "gah, another darn superhero show about morality" and i think thats okay :) Theres generally speaking better ways to go abt this stuff but I dont know, im generally a supportive optimist instead of a critic
indie animation community i love youuuu thats all :)
Planning to visit Metropolis? Here's what you need to know:
Metropolis is the shining city of tomorrow, and well worth the visit. You can pick up brochures and newspapers at any street corner, or from one of our many news-kids cycling around!
Navigate around the city following the maps and history on our website! With in-depth guides to all our neighborhoods and their attractions, you'll always find something exciting to do.
In preparation for an emergency, turn on notifications for our City Alert page on Chirper. You can find this page through the red alarm buttons in our website, or through searching for @mtp.alerts online.
Pay no attention to our neighboring city, Gotham. Despite its guise as the perfect summer destination for thrill seekers and clout chasers alike, the mortality rates are high enough that our experts can guarantee you will die out there.
You may have heard influencers like those on Coast City Craniums, famous for their viral quotes: "Everyone is so scared of Gotham, like no one wants to survive anymore, man. Go on, throw me in Gotham. Watch me come out a millionaire," and "anyone who takes the grindset seriously is moving to Gotham." Words like these contribute to the misconception that Gotham is the best tourist city on the East Coast.
Rest in peace, the Coast City Craniums crew. The team at MetTravels extends our sympathies to their families. We will miss you, and hope you reunite in the afterlife with your late friends at Rogues Remember.
In any news, Metropolis is a beautiful city this time of year (and any other time too) and we cannot be more excited to welcome you to the city of tomorrow. Make sure you stop by the MetTravel booths throughout Senneville, Newtown, and the Superman Museum!
really don't get people who think steve would be anything but loving and adoring, and maybe a bit teasing, but never ever mean/mocking/belittling about it, to bucky in any context, like it just doesn't line up with canon steve and i can't put my finger on what about it i find so wrong
extremely embarrassed I am once again coming to you with 3 asks😔😔😔 elli read chapter 4
OH GOD. here we go. i panicked thinking this was about chapter 5 because of the mid-chapter 4 line but from the skim i just did i think I'm going to have to steel my heart or risk cardiac arrest from your reactions to the smut ( which, by the way, was the first smut I've ever written so please go easyonme ). Chapter 4, however, was incredibly fun to write so I'm excited to read through this. ( Sweet Dreams is playing too--i've had the tsp sskk playlist on loop to get in the mindset for part III )
Yes!!!! the PM is also in the tags! i couldn't make a murder mystery AU set in Los Angeles of all places and not have corporations with dirty hands and deep-pocketed old-money types floating around their establishments. Los Angeles doesn't and didn't have a main crime family with a lot of Aura, so inserting the PM without feeling like I was replacing a very real crime syndicate ( like I would if this was NY or Chicago ) was quite nice.
Yeah . . . TSP Atsushi is a whole different thing, on the surface at least. He's older, more experienced ( Yeah. ), and honestly, has bigger problems to deal with than the budding realization that he might like men so he just waltzes into flirtation with Akutagawa like it's nothing. If I were Ryuu I'd have pushed him down the stairwell by now, but he's too smitten for that.
I need to draw Mori in that shirt ( he did step up, after all. The Tsushimas weren't great, even if Dazai thinks of them with that wistfulness seen in Chapter 2 ).
OMG I CANNOT TELL WHATS BEEN BLACKED OUT IN THESE SCREENSHOTS SO I JUST FREAK OUT WHENEVER THERE'S A MASSIVE SPOILER QUOTE TT_TT. My blood goes cold. Poor Elli I bet there are entire conversations that are just a wall of grey rectangles to them.
I'd LOVE to write a bsd au set in a neo-futuristic AU!!!!!! honestly, that would go crazy, I can imagine it already.
I think Dazai is most attractive when he's shutting the fuck up unfortunately
Oh wow I feel like I'm watching a downward spiral into hornyposting in real-time surely this isn't going to go anywhere.
its the fact that more than half of radfem rhetoric can be debunked in 2 seconds because literally no trans woman who is publicly transgender and “pretends to be a woman” (according to them) has systemic access to male privilege. if you think that the conservative political leaders who are responsible for male privilege will continue to give that to a trans woman after she has transitioned; you are genuinely fucking stupid
hate when nightmares are just obvious about their intention. i just woke up from a dream where my mother said i was dead to her for dropping out of college. there's really nothing to unpack there but i have to wake up sweating and hyperventilating anyway. be more interesting
I think in the same way there's a 90/10 rule with horror and comedy (horror works best when it's 90% horror and 10% comedy and vice versa) there's a 90/10 rule for some relationships in fiction that's like. Wholesome and fucked up. A good friendship is at its most compelling when it's also 10% a bit fucked up. Fucked up relationship is at its most compelling when there's at least 10% of something actually sweet and substantive within. Do you get me
