#i may have rambled a lot

[heyharoldsboo]

(Sorry for too many questions, but I already made my friends suffer a lot by sharing my theories and fears on this situation and they don’t even watch the show😂so here you are)

Many argue that the friendship between percy and jenna is just a part if PR for their upcoming movie. What do you think on that matter? Also, will this accusations affect the movie?

Okay, so first of all, it’s totally not a bother! Feel free to also dm me if you want! 🖤 this is one of my favorite subjects in the world, and if it wasn’t happening with an actor that I really like, I’d be even more happy to talk about it.

So keep in mind this is literally my irl job, so bear with me and please ask if I say something that’s too specific!

Okay, so we’re talking PR, but also Influence Marketing. You could argue that their friendship started because of PR for Wednesday. It’s quite more plausible than saying it’s for their upcoming movie. Why do I say this?

Timing. Their upcoming movie just finished shooting. There’s at least 6 months to a year of post-production, re-shootings, promotional shooting of pictures and videos, and also the whole release date that is decided accordingly to a *lot* of audience research (when is the target audience most likely to engage, for exemple).

After all of this is done, that’s when marketing starts for real. So we’re talking at least late july/2023 until any marketing moves will be made. It’s 6 months to keep the General Public entertained with a friendship story.

What sells movies aren’t die hard fans. When you do a movie, and cast actors, you’re counting on their die hard fans. What sells movies, or tv shows, or bands, is what we call the Casual Public, or General Public. People that like it, but aren’t crazy, aren’t fanpeople.

So, let’s pretend they hated each other or were only coworkers - why keep up the pretence after Wednesday season 1 wrapped up, a new movie is at least 6 months away, and season 2 of Wednesday is still being written? Why spend NYE, go to the Golden Globes, to Fashion Weeks, together?

It could be a long plan of marketing to market them as the next rom-com Netflix couple? Maybe.

But you also have to remember - they’re not doing this for free, they are getting paid if all of this is marketing. And if they’re getting paid, it’s expensive as hell. We’re talking about two rising stars in the entertainment industry. Paying Jenna’s part of this alone would be a huge contract. Millionaire.

All the while, it’s not only them. If it’s marketing, there’s a team behind. Creating content, pap walks, scenes and possibilities. It’s a full time movie shooting. While managing the people who are creating said content. To keep the General public entertained for at least 6 more months. The GP doesn’t have this attention span. Their die hard fans would watch with or without friendship.

So, I said all that to say: I find it very very very unlikely as a marketing professional for this to be marketing. Too expensive, too draining, too much probability of someone finding out it’s only for marketing purposes. I think they’re pals, they like each other’s company. Just like they enjoy Georgie’s company, who’s also always around.

About the upcoming movie: it’s really up to director and producers to figure it out after the authorities or lawyers say what happened. It’s a movie that’s wrapped up. I find it unlikely not to air.

Sorry if I spoke too much! It’s really my passion.

About the Skyline Pigeon fic...

Is this gonna be the last chapter or will there be more parts to it?

Hullo!! This might be more evident now that I’ve posted another chapter (sorry I didn’t respond sooner!), but yes, there will indeed be more parts of the story! :D

I’m not sure exactly how many chapters it’s gonna end up being, but the in-universe timeline of the fic is gonna span across at least half a year. The current chapter takes place in spring, and the end of the fic is set in winter.

Based on what I currently have planned (which may be subject to change)… I would estimate that the whole fic is going to be at least ten chapters, quite possibly longer (goodness knows that the Howl AU has ended up way longer than I had originally planned alskjdfj)

Anyway, thank you for the ask! I’m really happy that there are still people interested in this fic, even though it took me a long time to update it! :D

a mumbo ! his concept art this season is very cool,,

[floaties-for-arsene]

wake up babe ryomina swap au just dropped

more context below hehe :)

I’m gonna try to not go too crazy explaining the AU, so here’s my attempt at a “condensed” outline of the AU!

So the story of Persona 3 happens normally.. up until Ryoji’s revelation. After Ryoji explains the Fall to SEES and presents them with the option to kill him, Minato is insistent that there has to be another way. Eventually he settles on the idea of removing Ryoji’s status as the harbinger of the Fall, and to do so, make Ryoji human.. the problem is, in this act, Ryoji’s powers would transfer to Minato. Hence the swap part of the AU :)

At first everyone is really hesitant about this, especially Ryoji; he’d much rather put himself at risk than Minato. But he persists and eventually the team agrees to trust him. Ryoji and Minato relentlessly plan to ensure that things go as well as they can. On New Year’s, Ryoji initiates a sort of sharing of powers between the two; since the two exist within each other, I’m really leaning into their out of body connection for this.. if that makes any sense. When the swap happens, Minato disappears, and Ryoji blacks out.

When Ryoji recovers, SEES seeks out Minato in the Dark Hour. Ryoji is distressed that he can no longer sense Minato’s presence and begins to worry that things went terribly wrong. Ryoji is still weak and it’s soon apparent that he’s unable to summon a persona… and being in such danger, as well as being separated from Minato and dealing with a potential massive failure to protect someone so dear to him, he begins an existential crisis. This conflict eventually leads to Ryoji’s awakening, accepting his mortality and strengthening his resolve to fulfill his end of the plan and have faith in Minato… and when Ryoji awakens to his persona, he feels a familiar, comforting presence :)

So tldr, Minato becomes Ryoji’s persona, and the team work to beat Nyx after taking away her little pawn. I have waaaayyy more I could write about the rest of the AU and I even have epilogue stuff planned but I’ve already rambled enough and I mostly just wanted to put these designs out here since I’m super proud of them lol

love it when a character that's hard to read intuitively for you has like a dedicated fandom interpreter who can just glance at their blank face in a panel and then give you a 3k word essay on their innermost thoughts & desires & fears and neatly tie it back into the themes & whatnot as if it's the most obvious thing in the world

the dream smp journey: attempting to make the lore of the dream smp more accessible.

so back when i first wanted to get into the dream smp i had absolutely no idea where to start. i asked some people and they told me pretty much “look up dream smp + [insert youtuber name] and start there” and so i did, but i quickly came to realize how much i was missing from the story by not seeing all the different points of view.

so i decided to make my own playlist.

it was just for myself at first, but as i got more obsessed with the story, i also gave the link to some friends of mine so they could have the full experience, and they loved it. so i kept updating it.

my goal was to try and make a capsule of the entirety of the lore on the dream smp across almost every single POV, because while i do appreciate those who make recap videos, they always miss something and it’s usually with peoples’ POV who aren’t considered to be “main characters” which sucks because one of my favorite things about the dream smp was how everyone was their own main character with their own individual storyline you could get invested in.

i’ve seen every single video in the playlist, and did my absolute best to discern what should be included and what didn’t need to be. 

for instance, while i personally enjoyed streams where they’d just goof off, this is a lore-centric playist so i didn’t include all of them unless one of the jokes or such gets mentioned/becomes important later on. or if there is a lore event happening but two people have almost identical streams to one another then i decided between the two of them which one to keep. or if the cc themself made an edited version of their experience, i would decide whether to go with that or keep the original vod

it’s far from perfect. i tried to keep up with it as long as i could I STILL HAVE VIDEOS IN MY WATCH LATER THAT I PLANNED TO ADD but simply put while the dream smp storyline got longer and longer it became harder to keep up with. i watched pretty much all the streams when they happened but failed to update the playlist accordingly so right now it has almost everything up until ”Hitting on 16.”

i always wanted to finish it before i posted it, but i’ve been seeing people talk about how they miss the experience of watching the dream smp and while i obviously can’t provide the full interactive experience that the dream smp offered as it came out, i knew i couldn’t just keep this in my back pocket and thought i could at least offer a good chunk of the experience for you guys to still be able to keep!

here’s the playlist, spanning over 300 videos.

there’s also a semi-canon playlist (not nearly as thorough) for events that get mentioned by the cc’s a lot or are just cool to have and i wanted to include them somewhere so here it is also!!

to go along with it i also made a masterpost (can you tell i love making lists) which is what every single video on the playlist is supposed to be (and was last i checked, but videos get taken down every so often so there might be a couple missing here and there).

i hope to update this one day and have it fully finished, but with my schedule (full-time college student babyyyy) and simply the hundreds of hours of content i’d need to sift through it just seems impossible (and frankly just really intimidating) to challenge alone right now. so i also wanted to give this to the community to maybe be able to do what i couldn’t!

my hope with this is that if someone in a year or two (or whenever really) is interested in the dream smp they won’t have to sit through recap videos and instead can watch the real thing in a single playlist connected to the doc. my dream is for the masterpost and the playlist to go hand-in-hand, being like a guide people can follow that would also link to other moments and lore that is saved but just not avaliable on youtube, so we don’t have all these moments just lost to time.

i want to make this collaborative, i’m hoping this will maybe spark others to share what videos/moments they have saved and stored with each other for the dream smp and maybe together we could complete this thing somehow!! make the playlist and masterpost i dreamed of (the one right now is scuffed, but at least it’s something). the dream smp is one of my absolute favorite pieces of media out there and i want to share this with people but (as you can probably tell) i have no idea what i’m doing!! any step to help make the story more readily accessible is a good one, though!

i know i’ve missed things but i’ve done my best. and while not the perfectly polished thing i hoped it would be when i sent it out to the world maybe it could be a good building block for the community to use. so please share this!! reblog it!! all that jazz!! i want this to be for everyone!!

anyways, this is a long post. but the whole reason i got into the dream smp in the first place was because of the awesome fan content i saw and this crazy and creative community and i want to be able to give back, if i can.

im always curious in an industry im in no way going in to because steven universe is a key player but exactly how gets extremely muddied. it came at the perfect time and perfect place to be well received and to have people willing enough to change rules for its sake. simultaneously it only happened because it fought hard enough to put itself on the line. critics love to say that every new animated show "has to be like steven universe". is there merit in that? in what ways do executives think steven universe is like? after future, the final episodes su was allowed to get, ian said that executives seemed to want another steven universe without realizing they just got rid of it. su proved linear storytelling can work; that queer elements don't mean the end of a show. why is it not up to rebecca sugar to renew it despite wanting to? in its creation many people saw something "special" in steven universe. though this is a testimony of a testimony, corporate only realized what was going on when they saw the audience turnout to estelle's live stronger than you performance in 2017 (and saw in the crowd the amount of pride flags). su is influential. but how?

I do want to talk about sharing art online from the perspective of a hobby freelancer but before that I'll just toss this tidbit I mentioned on my main

Reblogs are not numbers. Reblogs are meant to share and pass on artwork that someone may like. NO ONE is forced to reblog anything BUT it is a core of engagement in a space like tumblr. Engagement is what brings in interest after all and it's one piece of what makes it important for freelance artists here.

When you look at the numbers and the notes, we need to stop viewing them and comparing them with likes (me included) or total in general. It doesn't help.

Artists do self rebloging to both show or remind folks they've done some work as well as to nudge people to reblog their stuff. Tags are nice and comments in them are a nice way to engage too but passing on the work, especially to help someone to get noticed, is a good way to just work the site as intended.

It will always be about luck because we can't guess who wants to engage with what online. You also can't blame yourselves for this. Don't use the internet mentality of "content" (eugh!) and "flopping" and go about it that way. People find stuff I drew years back and find ways to engage with it now. It's really about luck.

There are things that can help but I'll go about it in another post.

One more thing. Don't be shy about "shilling". Advertise your open commissions, your patreons or ko-fis. I promise it has nothing to do with how big of an artist you are. Remember that you're doing that within your own zone so "bothering" followers is hardly the case, it's your house. Make a tag for it if it helps your mind. I say as someone with social anxiety.
