people seriously pretending EEAAO is overrated suddenly bc it swept awards? it swept awards largely because it is very very very good. I cried like someone who's just had a religious revelation BOTH times I watched it bc it touched something raw and real and beautiful but it was also just very, very funny. everyone's performance kills and the concept is creative and interesting and doesn't distract from the emotional core. you guys are just contrarian.

#red said #also there are posts and tweets like THIS IS JUST FOR MCU FANS #like please go on demonstrating how you've adopted 'mcu fan' as a shorthand for 'person who likes films i don't'#or 'person who likes films that are popular'#because the defining features of mcu films are that they're high budget irony poisoned derivative works #targeted at a broad audience so aiming to be accessible and inoffensive #and it really seems. like 'accessible' is the part of that you object to #bc EEAAO is a highly original A24 indie film with a 14.5m budget which is NOTHING #it's made mostly with practical effects and sets #and most importantly it's beautifully painfully earnest. it's never trying to shy away or go Hey Look How Silly This Is 😏#everything is driven by its earnest desire to talk about specific themes #i think the people comparing it negatively to mcu films are stuck on the fact that it's about a multiverse and it's got jokes #and colourful action scenes #but they miss that the referential jokes (like racacoonie) and setpieces aren't the point of the film

Whenever people who are entrenched in diet culture talk about how terrible chemicals are, I just want to whip out this:

#diet culture #diet culture tw #described images #image description in alt #'it's got CHEMICALS in it' and so do you! and me too! IT'S ALL CHEMICALS ALL THE WAY DOWN #instead of running from this world we must learn to embrace it #i'm not particularly angry at people who say this because it makes me think that they're incredibly invested in diet culture...#...i just don't want the whole 'food = bad' or 'bodies = bad' to go unchallenged...#...part of the reason why diet culture seems just as prevalent now (if not moreso) is partially because it isn't really...#...challenged or questioned without provocation. it's just assumed to be correct because it makes you 'feel in control'#when chemicals are bad you can control what chemicals you consume. it's individualistic and places the blame onto you for 'being good'#it places responsibility onto the person in such a way that it becomes impossible to fulfill #it isn't that i'm upset that people want to treat their bodies in a way they think is responsible...#...moreso that the *way* they go about it ensures that they're stuck in a cycle of self-blame and even self-hatred #because the METHOD is ineffective. not the desire to treat your body well #also the state of ohio looks stupid and i do Not respect it #it looks like a ball that is simultaneously deflated and over-inflated #also their state flag looks silly to me #it looks like the person who was making it fell asleep making it #i'm just clowning on ohio at this point. have never been to ohio but. are you guys okay

Recently had a silly Handplates dream where Papyrus was trying to snoop around Gaster and Alphys’ lab, but didn’t know who Alphys was and so was trying to pass it off as his own lab lol (Patreon)

#Doodles #Dream log #UT #Handplates #Papyrus #Gaster #Sans #Alphys #And also he was Big Brother Papyrus to a babybones Sans lol #I doodled them as close to the dream as possible so if it's silly or doesn't make sense take it up with my subconscious lol #I remember Gaster had a reputation for being very charming and charismatic which ?? Sure okay lol #He was also quite smiley - personally I read that as him putting on a face to the public but even that seems out of character for him lol #Everyone else was pretty much as usual - Alphys small and nervous and Papyrus loud and bombastic #I don't remember what exactly he was looking for - doubly weird 'cause I hadn't reread him and Sans exploring yet! :0 #Just of them moving into their house - though I did read a bunch just before sleeping so safe to say I can attribute that lol #This was the only really clear part of the dream - the rest was just scrolling scrolling scrolling pages and pages of comic panels #Can't imagine why lol #Also intercut with some of the poses I ended up doodling before - surprise! They were dream doodles lol #Also in case it's not clear - Alphys was Very Much Present while Papyrus was trying to pass himself off as the name on the door lol #Oh yeah I'm pretty sure he was also speaking in WingDings thus why Alphys didn't immediately call him out lol #The room was quite cute actually - not at all the sterile grey of the True Lab #Warm and wooden with high windows nearly covered in clutter and paperwork with a desk in the middle lit by yellow light #Cozy #Barely evil-looking at all

here's the Meleanor chibi speedrun! upfront warning for some flickering and/or flashing throughout from all the sped-up zooming/layer changes.

it turns out I only really recorded up to when I exported the PSD for the first time, so I went back and recorded a bit more to at least show a little of the reworked cape breakdown and background. and then bounced her rig around so you can see a bit of it too! the parts I'm not too embarrassed to show, anyway

even sped up it's still like 47 minutes (s-she took a really long time to make okay), so there are timestamps/chapters in the description if you click through! I certainly don't expect anyone to sit and watch it through, but maybe it'll be interesting to skip around in?

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 5 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 5 spoilers #sorry for posting again so soon but...it's related to the last post at least?#anyway enjoy me spending literally hours drawing a bunch of parts that i never even used #look we all have our little hobbies #i'm glad people seem to like how she came out! i was really scared to post her because i had so much trouble with the rig #but i forgot that meleanor is amazing and transcends silly things like technical quality and amateur mesh-weighting #thank you all for validating my obsessive quest to reverse-engineer tiny little anime characters for no real reason #spineposting #(kinda)

"It's so silly, why is Carlos scared of dogs?"

"What's going on with the whole staring contest thing with Mal and Maleficent, it's so lame"

Because these are both details on how each of these mothers control their children! Same with the Evil Queen convincing Evie that her only worth was in beauty and who she married and why Jafar made Jay steal consistently!

I know the second and third movies really gloss over it horrendously but D1 was very much about abused children escaping their parents and each of the four parents has a different method of "control" over their child.

Maleficent's staring contest is "you will never be as powerful as me unless you do as I say," (aided in part because at this point in canon, Mal's dad was human), so Mal finally "winning" a staring contest was her beating her mother through refusing to give in, and thus Mal's spell triumphed.

Cruella teaching Carlos to be scared of dogs is "the world is too frightening and dangerous and you must stay here," but befriending Dude is the moment he realizes she is absolutely wrong about the world and he would much rather be surrounded by friends than live in fear.

Jafar making Jay steal is because there's no magic and wealth is now the only semblance of power that can be found on the island but also isolation because you can't trust anyone - until Jay wins the MVP trophy and realizes that trusting his friends makes a great difference.

And the EQ reducing Evie's worth to beauty not only references the whole "Fairest of Them All" thing but also magic/knowledge was not a guarantee of power, but 'beauty' was what mattered most and why Snow White survived being poisoned; and yet that fails Evie because Chad is the worst but the one person who encourages her no matter what is the son of a dwarf.

#like yes on their own the details might seem silly but it's the PATTERN that they're a part of that matters so much!#disney descendants #descendants #anyways i still fume about how d2 tried to make it 'these abused children escaping abuse are traitors! how dare they leave us'#especially from uma of all people who is the most outspoken voice about how purely terrible the island is #and then d3 tried to go 'no the parents are fine lol! the four run back to them to see them! it's all fine'

various sonic and flash related tweets i made that i think are at least mildly amusing

#opm #flashy flash #speed o sound sonic #i was thinking man tumblr is so much better for fandom than twitter #the categorization…. the longevity….#but then i was like damn but i still barely use it for stuff like this #current culture here seems less receptive of short form low effort content like this #+ dwindling popularity of tumblr in general F #opm fandom so much more active in twitter (altho it is still pretty small) but everything disappears easily #so like. i figure i’ll try to both preserve some of my silly thoughts on here + do my part to keep the fandom active #also wow i seriously use the same phrasing a lot in these tweets im noticing #im the laugherrrr #had to frankenstein a picture onto one of these cos twitter crop was not doing me any favorss #see if u can spot it

forever hilarious to me that tennis is promoted as this prestigious highbrow big-brain sport when most tennis fans these days are like. yeah this is my favorite player. yeah i don't know why they're like that. yes they are stupid. no i will not choose somebody else.

#wta tennis #atp tennis #i feel like the era of...shall we say 'federer-esque' players is waning #which i think can in part be related to the loss of the one-handed-backhand #as the sport moves more toward a necessity for fitness and athleticism players do not put as much emphasis on 'art'#which imo is fine! i think the 'art' of tennis is too protected in some ways. which i maybe will expand on later.#but i think it's too much for the tags of a (mostly) silly post #but yeah you can hear a lot of commentators touch on it #i know nadal even said something abt it recently(ish)#but i think as tennis is gradually less associated with this abstract 'image' (e.g. the obsession with federer's 'grace' and 'class')#players are coming in thinking 'this is a physical battle and i am going to win' and very much leaning into the *competition*#which not to say that they're ignoring/denying the mental aspects at all because i actually do think many players are very strategic/aware #and in truth i think many tennis players ARE actually very smart #but i also think it's less apparent because more and more players are able to just hit the shit out of the ball and call it a day #which leaves you with the occasional shot/point/game/set/match etc where it seems like they don't know what the fuck they're doing #but you think about most sports which evolve in phases #it's very normal for certain player profiles to become more or less popular as the landscape of the sport changes #or as new techniques/strategies are developed #or as new communities/populations become interested!#extreme example but think of like. high jump's fosbury flop. that was one guy!#one guy who changed the entire fucking sport! so it makes perfect sense that tennis is continuing to evolve #given how many unique players have come and gone #and how much the sport is changing externally as well as internally #anyways. this got out of hand but i love sports and i love tennis and i love my brainless players.#this whole post was inspired by rewatching sabalenka v boulter and aryna completely missed an overhead by like five feet. lol #love her <3

First off I wanna say I love Elsa's song and the amazing devil...

Do you think you could make a web weave of your best friend cutting you off after years? It's been a lot on me :(

What do I do with myself now? On: Friendship and endings.

I hope this is alright. It's been... a few years since someone's called me their best friend? So my implied emotion might be a tad off.

#my art #trans #side note: following tags are a pretty long thought dump #ugh okay i'm going to be honest #i didn't know anything about predstrogen until she was banned and many people started talking about her #also looked through photomatt's blog very briefly #to me he sounds callous- if that's the right word. he just didn't seem to care about what happened to predstrogen prior to her being banned #also? car with hammers that explodes multiple times feels far from being a serious death threat to me #yes predstrogen explicitly mentioned death wishes #but i don't know. what she said is more cartoonish than serious #also something i noticed from photomatt: where is the evidence that predstrogen threatened other users?#i haven't been looking into all this that deeply #but that photomatt stating that as part of the reason for predstrogen's ban and then not elaborating is. weird. for lack of better words #on a slightly different note: i love tumblr and how i can be my silly queer self and nobody cares #but if we don't stand up for each other — especially those who are constant targets for harrassment and other crappy things #tumblr will eventually die or bear no resemblance to the site i enjoy so much #maybe i'm privileged! being a trans masc guy #or maybe i'm ignorant #but i guess i have a tendency to say a lot. and i hate staying silent when i have the opportunity to speak out #so i'm going to scream #and i hope y'all are going to speak in support of trans women too

jack and race would have one of those podcasts where they talk about jackshit and then upload thirty-second clips that constantly go viral to toktok and Instagram. half the time the clips are of jack saying something absolutely insane either in a funny way or in a "my childhood was extremely fucked up but it's normal to me so I think this horrifying thing is funny" way and race being like woag dude lets unpack that. and half the time it's one of them saying something so stupid that nobody else could possible think it's funny and both of them laughing so hard they can't breathe and are crying and nobody watching can help but join them because they think they're sooooo funny.

#i think spot and race are already dating and spot make occasional appearances on the podcast as the true straight man #because jack and race cannot play it straight they both think they're hilarious and get wackier and weirder every time #and i also think davey meets jack by chance when he's already semi-visible online and is like aren't you that guy??#and then is pleasantly and quietly surprised to discover the less public parts of jack's personality #everybody who only knows jack and race from the podcast thinks their relationships are weird #both because people assume jack and race are dating half the time #and because jack and race are goofy and loud and davey and spot are both quieter and seem more serious on the surface #(they're also quite silly they just keep it on the dl more than jack and race are capable of)

I need an au now where kevin snatches neil from andrews grasp. cuz he realises he could better for him. not sure how that would go down though

interesting au! made me think of death of a bachelor by panic! at the disco.

I don't think Kevin would ever do this in canon. However, for the sake of an AU, anything may be possible...

KEVIN DAY, who saw Neil's potential first, enamored by the way he ran across the field like his own purpose to breathe was to score the next point.

KEVIN DAY, who worked under the midnight lights to bring the stars to Neil's grasp, to put him in the way of fame's petrifying headlights for a future greater than his present.

KEVIN DAY, who started to admire the unrelenting confidence and audacity that oozed from every pore of Neil's being. Slowly, bits and pieces of Neil began to infect his own person, as if venom were dripping into his veins.

KEVIN DAY, who fought against what he wanted. But when he started to give in and flirt with the #10 player of the Palmetto State University Exy lineup, he watched Neil fall in love with someone else.

KEVIN DAY, who couldn't resist himself after changing his identity to no longer be number two, but instead be the deadliest piece in every game of chess. He knew what he was capable of, and he knew his place should be at Neil's side. The Queen and his Knight.

KEVIN DAY, who waits as long as he can. He waits until they are on the national team, representing the United States every four years in the Olympics. He and Neil are in a unique situation with the mafia; he uses this to his advantage.

KEVIN DAY, who knows that Neil would never cheat on Andrew. But he's spent so long at their sides that he knows what buttons to press to sew discord. Neil starts to falter in his games, causing panic. If he cannot play correctly, what is preventing Moriyama from taking his head?

KEVIN DAY, who steps in where Andrew cannot. He provides shelter, comfort, and lessons to regain Neil's footing. He suggests that Neil distances himself from Andrew, and Neil agrees. They get closer than they were before, closer than Neil would have allowed himself if he were still with Andrew.

KEVIN DAY, who does not resist when Neil closes the gap between them. He winds his hands around the small of Neil's back and smiles into the other man's lips.
