[knific]

hi im john! or zero. i'm a LEESBO and i draw stuff : also im multifandom and i switch interests almost monthly. if you follow me for one thing you might not get that.

i'm fifteen and from the southeast of asia. i can speak different languages but i only prefer being spoken to in english lol!

also we MIGHT be mutuals. this isn't my main blog and that was actually a mistake because i didn't know how to use tumblr by the time. if you see you're being followed by some user called epicflowpow then I guess we're mutuals :') that's my main blog that im inactive on! lol! it's hard to explain

byf:

i have bad memory don't expect me to remember anything personal like ur birthday,

i make sex jokes sometimes ok if ur not comfortable lmk and ill stop,

i post what i want, i might post blood, gore, etc. anything i post may be triggering, if you don't like it block me! the only form of censoring you'll get is the tags so get ready to mute a few (ex: cw blood, cw knife, cw suicide)

my social skills suck.. you can try to talk to me but i get very nervous when talking privately and i might say things i don't mean

i am sometimes rude but it's just for fun lol i don't actually mean it,

i don't reaalyyy use tonetags but ill use them when my wording starts to sound a little serious

uhhh i make homophobic jokes because it's FUNNY. im actually a person of the bacon community though so yeah.

i like to cuss my faves out. i will say very very mean stuff about them and I won't state whether it's positive or negative. if you don't like that then you should probably not read the tags sometimes

i ironically use emojis like 😂🥺🥹😜 etc

-

dni: i don't have a dni because people are gonna interacr with me anyways. ill block whoever makes me feel uncomfortable and who not (pr/shipp*rs are not exceptions lol ALL will be blocked)

-

also i do requests! here are like. rules for my requests n stuff:

i think im most likely to do EVERY request you guys give me, so go crazy! i just won't do it quickly. because im not an art machine

i do any reqs, but i will less likely do/will put for last the oc requests lol :)

okay when I said any reqs i lied: just don't request me taco x pickle loll it's for the sake of some of my mutuals :) i can still draw them hanging out but it won't be tagged as ship or implied ship

i also do any fandom but again i will less likely do fandoms im not in lol

uhh. if im uncomfortable with a ship in particular ill just ignore your req don't bother sending it again or im gonna give you a beating

complicated styled characters are ok but if you wanna give me a first good impression don't send them or you're literally breaking my fingers physically

also comics scare me if you request those too you're also breaking my fingers (it's not prohibited though you can send them but ill cry)

#Repost @danielmbrazzell with @make_repost ・・・ On this day in 1983, 241 American service members who lost their lives in the bombing of a U.S. Marines Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, during the Lebanese Civil War. Two truck bombs, detonated by suicide bombers, struck buildings that housed U.S. and French military members of a multinational peacekeeping force, killing a total of 299 service personnel (241 American, 58 French), along with six civilians and the two suicide bombers. It was the deadliest single-day attack against U.S. Marines since the battle over Iwo Jima in 1945. The Beirut Barracks Memorial in Section 59 honors those we lost. It was dedicated in 1984 on the first anniversary of the attack, the memorial is located beneath a cedar tree in Section 59 of the cemetery. Its inscription reads, "Let peace take root. This cedar of Lebanon tree grows in living memory of the Americans killed in the Beirut terrorist attack and all victims of terrorism throughout the world." Twenty-one U.S. service members killed in the bombing are buried near the marker. All are in Section 59, unless otherwise noted. Name Service Grave Cpl. Nicholas Baker Marine Corps 620 Gunnery Sgt.

1,000 Follower Celebration

First: Thank y’all once again.  

Second: Here’s a link to my PicsArt page.  Go take a look at my work if you’d like, I’m not much of an artist but some of that I’m rather proud of.  You can also search my blog under the tag “my edits” or take a look at some of my more recent fics to see examples.

I will do edits for most fandoms including(but not limited to) Supernatural, Marvel, DC, Star Trek, and Star Wars.  Below the cut y’all will find a list of things I own, can download or otherwise get my hands on.  Oh, and the rules.  There aren’t many but I felt that a few were needed.

Right on hand:

Supernatural-Up to date right to the mid season finale.  So 12 ½ seasons. (I’m just a stinker like that.)

Star Wars-Rogue One and The Force Awakens.  My kids seem to have stolen my original and prequel DVDs.  Sorry about that one.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Wonder Woman

Suicide Squad

Ghostbuster-the remake.  Again, blame my kids.

Heroes Season 1

Star Trek-AOS the first one and Into Darkness

Deadpool

The original Flash w/John Wesley Shipp

Captain America: Civil War

The complete Back to the Future trigioly

The first X-men movie

Haven Season 4

The original Beauty and the Beast Season 1- This is the Ron Perlman/Linda Hamilton verson gang.

Die Hard

In addition I have access to Netflix, so if it’s available on the US version I can probably get my hands on it.  I will also consider song inspired edits, preferably classic rock.  Pretty much anything there.  Just please, not Carry on my Wayward Son.  Pretty sure I’ll run out of ideas on that pre3tty quick

I also decided to add a little bonus since I reached a thousand with more than a week to spare.  I play The Sims, mostly 3 but I also own some of 4.  I will create a custom Sim for you that you will be able to download.  Just don’t ask for Sam and Dean, I’ve been trying to create them for years and haven’t gotten them right yet.  These will take a little longer because I share my account with my oldest daughter and if she’s got her laptop logged into the account it can take me days to get hold of her.

Rules of the game:

You must be following me or on one of my tag lists, I will check because this is a follower celebration after all.

Don’t request porn, it ain’t happening

Most ships are negotiable, the only ship I won’t touch with a 39 ½ foot pole is Samifer.  It creeps me out big time.

You must send me an ask.  Be sure to include all of the following: Fandom, character, episode title(if a tv series), if you’re looking for a particular scene or willing to trust my judgement and the style you’d like me to do the edit in. 

Request box will be open starting December 20, 2017 and close January 1, 2018.  That’s almost 2 weeks to give everyone who wants to a chance to put in a request.  I’ll probably start working on them almost immedatly.

No anon requests please.  I want to be able to tag you when I finish.

 Edit styles:

Oil Painting

Pastel

Water Color

Neon

Embossed

Black and white photo

Film look

Holiday Party(new, and I haven’t played with it yet)

Undead

WInter Ice

Pop Sketch

Galaxy

Badlands

Shades of Gray(looks like a pencil sketch.  Get your mind out of the gutter.)

Moonlight

Stay Gold

Let it Snow

Winter Blues

This isn’t a complete list, just some of my faves.  I can also do bunch of stuff with this program.

This post wasn’t suppose to get this long.  If you’ve read all the way though, thanks.

Hitting the tag list up again.

A Dog's Way Home

What makes a “dog movie” good? Even as one of those overenthusiastic canine devotees who will often claim she prefers dogs to people (well, I do), I don’t quite have an answer to this question. But I like my movie dogs best when they resemble the way I perceive my four-legged pals in real life: selfless, friendly and fun-loving creatures that live in the moment, would do anything for chicken and think of everything as a game. I cringe when films sell dogs short by adorning them with human-like traits, just to pull the heartstrings of our kind. 

So on paper, Charles Martin Smith’s talking dog movie “A Dog’s Way Home”, where a canine takes an utterly implausible two-year/400-mile journey to reunite with the human who saved him from the streets, is my basic nightmare. But after all, I am not made of stone, am I? What dog parent wouldn’t like to believe our lost dogs would eventually find us at all costs, no matter what? And who among us hasn’t interpreted a dog’s thoughts, elaborated on them and even spoken them out loud? I can’t be the only weirdo here and I won’t be the last one to cry during this film’s end credits.

Even then and despite Bryce Dallas Howard’s sweetly soothing voice as Bella (played by the adorable Shelby), I maintain that “A Dog’s Way Home” would have been a lot more affecting and provocative (without losing any of its charming family friendliness) had Bella not been granted a screen voice. Leaving that aside, Smith’s film is still one you can’t help but root for, as the screenwriters Cathryn Michon and W. Bruce Cameron (also the author and scribe of the trilogy that includes “A Dog’s Purpose” and “A Dog’s Journey”) lovingly braid in numerous humanist themes into their tale at every turn. 

A stray mutt raised by a cat (which she calls ‘Mother Cat’) in the suburbs of Denver after her mom gets taken away, Bella falls into the hands of Lucas (Jonah Hauer-King) and Olivia (Alexandra Shipp); two kindly med school students who also volunteer for animals in need. Also in the mix is Lucas’ depressed war veteran mother Terri (Ashley Judd), the pet-hating real estate mogul Gunter (Brian Markinson) and antiquated city laws enforced by officer Chuck (John Cassini), that prohibit certain mutts and ignorantly think of “pit bulls” as two dirty words. To save Bella from a most heartbreaking fate (don’t get me started on pit bull euthanasia rates), Lucas, Olivia and Terri find her a temporary home in New Mexico, from which Bella escapes to make her way back to her own humans. It’s a perilous road decked with near-fatal hazards for sure, but also with mostly well-meaning humans and a baby cougar whom Bella calls ‘Big Kitten’—brought to life by what could contend for the year’s worst CGI. But who cares when she proves to be such a loyal and reliable road buddy in the mountains of Colorado? 

This may all sound too shameless and syrupy, but to its credit, “A Dog’s Way Home” scratches the surface of something I, as a pit bull obsessive, have never seen a “dog movie” do. Not only does this film attempt to explain the illogical broadness of the term “pit bull” (it’s basically as generic as labeling a canine as “a hound dog”) and the false fear these animals are routinely subjected and fall victim to, it also hints at this irrationality’s faint connection to racism. This is an idea articulated and explained in various essays like Tom Junod’s “The State of The American Dog” and Yasmin Nair’s “Racism and The American Pit Bull”, which also cites Bronwyn Dickey’s book Pit Bull: The Battle over an American Icon. “This is basically racism for dogs” says Olivia, admittedly oversimplifying an utterly complex concept to baffling effect. But the writers and filmmakers deserve some praise for considering what often gets ignored when we talk about how the society gut-wrenchingly mistreats pit bulls.

That being said (and as lovable as Shelby is), I wish the dog cast as Bella looked a bit more like a classic American Pit Bull Terrier to really bring home the filmmakers’ point—the “she doesn’t even look like a pit” line spoken later in the film almost defeats the purpose of good intentions. I also wish the gay couple that Bella crosses paths with (a detail all too rare in hetero-normative mainstream family films) were allowed a bit more natural intimacy that a straight couple would have been free to display. But between its belief in cross-species friendship, unmistakable anti-hunting/environmentalist message and overall progressive tone, “A Dog’s Way Home” is a good dog movie with its heart in the right place, just like any nameless canine regardless of its breed.

19 books being made into movies in 2019 you'll want to read

19 books being made into movies in 2019 you'll want to read

Some of our favorite films are based on books. There's something special about seeing characters you once pictured in your head come to life before your eyes. Which is why we're starting the year by catching up on all of the books being made into movies in 2019.

People often say that the book is better than the movie. While we tend to agree (though sometimes the movie is better!), it's still fun to experience beloved stories in a new way. And this year, literary adaptations include fictional thrillers, sweet YA novels, and fast-paced fantasy reads. There's even a comic book miniseries adaptation starring Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss as a trio of gangster wives. Yes, really.

19 books being made into movies in 2019 you'll want to read

19 books being made into movies in 2019 you'll want to read

Some of our favorite films are based on books. There's something special about seeing characters you once pictured in your head come to life before your eyes. Which is why we're starting the year by catching up on all of the books being made into movies in 2019.

People often say that the book is better than the movie. While we tend to agree (though sometimes the movie is better!), it's still fun to experience beloved stories in a new way. And this year, literary adaptations include fictional thrillers, sweet YA novels, and fast-paced fantasy reads. There's even a comic book miniseries adaptation starring Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss as a trio of gangster wives. Yes, really.
