ccan you share any facts about the lights out au :3
i can try!
one thing i'm trying to incorporate that they get a Lot more puppety once the lights go out - their expressions can no longer change! Frank's frown is fixed! i've been holding off on this a bit since trying to imagine like... Barnaby getting mad but it's just this fuckin blank muppet face kills me but. hey what if they all had eyebrows that were built to move- also it's Important to the "Plot". and if i need expressions to show emotion, i'm failing as a writer
Wally gets a skin cardigan
as time goes on the Goop™️ kinda gets a mind of its own. it finds spare puppets - or puppet parts - to use as a shell. mix'n'match, horror style!
my original design for butterfly Howdy was made for this au. do with that what you will
over the years, Wally reads a lot of books - they teach him quite a few things that he would have never known about otherwise, even if he can't fully understand half of what he reads. how does one know what whisky is - beyond a drink - if they don't know about alcohol is?
Wally makes "friends" with some critters that start living in the studio. though he thinks there's one rat - he doesn't know to call it that - and like... one roach - he also doesn't know to call it that. so he thinks the same few strange creatures are around, when in reality it's a bunch. they keep getting consumed by the Goop
Poppy sets up the post office to be more liveable / pleasant. both for a sense of normalcy and it's just something to do! she makes it nice and homey <3 to the best of her ability <3 she can't really see what she's doing <3

knowing my 5’1.5 foot 24 year old self if I walked alone in Gotham without my parents I’d be adopted so fast by Bruce who would mistake me as a child 😂
I mean—- at which point does one stop being adoptable? ✨👀
So, Congrats! In a Gotham verse you would now be a new member of the Wayne family. They don’t have the best track record of keeping each other alive tho, so good luck 😭 (I recommend hiring deathstroke to take care of joker first thing while you’re at it tho)

A little bit of Welsh from English radio today, for fun! Here's Welsh comedian and broadcaster Elis James, a native South Walian Welsh speaker, with his friend, foil and cohost, the English comedian John Robins, who from gigging in Wales and driving across the UK has picked up some Welsh! His pronunciation is hardly perfect, but I figured for a bit of fun, vocabulary and listening (largely to Elis, for the pronunciation at least), I'd post this here.
Vocabulary, transcribed
llath(au) -> yard(s)
ambiwlans(ys) -> ambulance(s) (sounds the same as English, singular and plural, lluosog, except if you really want to make it sound Welsh you could also use ambiwlansiau)
araf -> slow (adjective. The verb 'to slow' as in 'slow down' is arafu)
canol ddinas -> city centre (North America: downtown)
gwasanaeth(au) -> service(s) (of any kind, not just service stations!)
Dw i angen gwasanaeth i fy ngherbyd, os gwelwch yn dda. I need a service for my vehicle please.
Dyn ni'n stopio ar y gwasanaethau/yr orsaf wasanaeth. We are stopping at the services/service station.
Some more examples:
Bydd rhaid i ni gymryd y ffordd wasanaeth. We will need to take the service road.
Am ofnadwy! Mae'r ffyrd gwasanaeth wedi torri. How awful! The service roads are broken.
Dwi'n newid fy nharparwr gwasanaeth eleni. I am changing my service provider this year.
Mae pobl yn y diwydiant gwasanaeth wedi blino. People in the service industry are tired.

Imperium-Lasko is great for several reasons. The first is the contrast between his prime universe counterpart, the second is character foiling.
The whole point of the Imperium universe is showing the characters reflected through a "dark mirror." Showing what they would be like in a world where the fundamental rules are vastly different. An illustration of how strengths can be weaknesses and vice versa depending on the situation. How the characters change, and how they don't.
Imperium Lasko, president of the Imperial Academy of Dahlia, shows our prime universe Lasko in a world where he didn't have to be scared of who he was and the powers he has. In the prime universe, his intelligence is often secondary to his anxieties. He knows what he's talking about and he's good at theoretical knowledge, but hesitant to use his magic in significant ways most of the time.
Academy President Lasko has none of those problems. He's confident. Both in his magic and himself. He's aware that he's intelligent and he has no fears or anxieties in using that intelligence to his full advantage. Which he often does. Compared to prime-Lasko, his Imperium counterpart shows what he could be, with all the confidence in the world on shameless display. While Imperium-Lasko is often cunning and has been shown to abuse the power he has, he was very sexy doing it he never once wavers in his conviction. He expects to get what he wants, and he gets it.
He is shown, in the Imperium, to be a character foil of the Imperium universe's version of Gavin, Vindemiator. The two and their interactions are clearly meant to showcase their differences, highlighting one against the other. Where Vindemiator is forced to swallow his pride to get what he wants for the sake of his safety, President Moore gets what he wants in part because of his own fearless pride in himself.
In the brief instance they're shown together, they illustrate the darkness of the Imperium as a central government and its influences, as well as the less-influenced personality of someone who is new to the culture.
President Moore and Vindemiator aren't just foils of each other. They also foil their own prime universe counterparts. Lasko is often shown in the main universe to be of the somewhat more timid variety, and Gavin is bold and easy-going and unflappable in almost every situation. Often leading conversations and spearheading (mostly flirtatious) interactions. In the Imperium, we get to see the dynamic flipped. Vindemiator has to submit while President Moore plows ahead.
He gets to be a great character because of his differences between his own counterpart and the other characters he's surrounded with. He's well-mannered and smooth-talking where the Imperium version of Huxley is brute force and blunt honesty. He talks with a honey-sweet voice that belies all the scheming going on just below the surface. He owns who he is and he's satisfied with that choice.
No matter which universe, Lasko is shown as very comfortable with his own sexuality. In a universe where his confidence in the rest of himself is boosted beyond belief, that much is obvious in how he handles himself—as well as his interactions with others.

do u know any other good tbs blogs??? i’m starved for john content :(
You and me both! Tbs has such a small online fandom so it's a struggle in general to find much of anything :/ It's part of the reason I started this blog, lol. But there is @takingbacksundaygifs (+ their main @adamlazzara) and @makedamnasssure who both post tbs stuff periodically that's not just Adam. @lazzarachan also posts tbs mag scans, though their blog's a mix of other bands as well.
By the way, deepest apologies my blog is looking like Adam Central rn 🪦 I have a queue that's currently going through a big chunk of adam stuff I found in a few different non-tbs blogs' tags. BUT I do have some john stuff queued from his inactive blog on here (@johnnolanmusic-blog) that will pop up eventually (I might try to reorder it into more of a mix at some point 😬). But I've definitely been meaning to get more john stuff up on here, as well as Shaun and Mark (and the others possibly), cause it's definitely something that's lacking on here!

WHO WANTS TO HEAR MORE 20TH CENTURY STYLE BULLSHIT?????
This is my midterm for my 20th century harmony class. For the class I just had to turn in the piano sketch outlining the harmony but eventually my plans for this are to turn it into something deranged and sicknasty. The choral part is going to be overlaid on SO much percussion and synths. It will be "theme of something super fucked up." You can't appreciate this yet because it doesn't have the percussion and synths yet so it just kinda sounds weird, but when it does... oh boy. get ready
