@kittkatattacks asked for Aaron and Kevin as Herbert West and Dan Cain in Re-Animator - and honestly I can’t help but agree with anyone putting Aaron in a mad scientist or adjacent role. For the love of god just let this man stay in medical school or he WILL lose it

Comedy and tragedy, at its finest.

Just some appreciation for our favorite star✨

(Spoilers‼️)

I adored Cassandra before but now? NOW?!Knowing now that Cassandra’s future has been prioritized since the ripe age of SIX YEARS OLD is insane. Every new thing I learn about her makes me love her even more.

She was robbed of a normal childhood. Which, is acceptable in some regards, like being more worldly and cultured rather than getting a regular education. However, I know damn WELL Alcina (wether intentional or not❤️) put too much pressure on Cassandra for the sake of “reaching her full potential” to the point where growing up she internalized her image as quite literally the only thing that mattered.

Her going hysterical and downright INSANE by the end of her bad route is literally so perfect.

This is her destiny. She would stop at nothing to see it become a reality. She’s worked too hard. This won’t go to waste. SHE won’t be a waste.

Also her traveling around as a child really makes you think about how much Cass must actually appreciate Elena’s friendship. Someone who has remained in her life despite any amount of flirting and shenanigans. Whereas Cass probably has a hard time maintaining any friendship since she could never stay in one place for long :((( Children need stability in order to learn how to make lasting relationships and I don’t think Cass ever really got that beyond being with her sisters.

She’s just a special lil star🥺🌟

Got my first display tab! And the first thing I tested it with is an anime Connie sketch lol.

HUGE thank you to my supporters at Ko-fi, as that's where I got the funds. 😊😊🤗💕

Seems needed time to get used to, and I use more shortcut keys than the number of shortcut buttons on the tab; but I am already loving the it so far! My laptop, on the other hand, is not handling it too well. 😅

Turn Week 2024– Day 4: Set It To Music

Get ready, this is gonna be a really long post methinks!! 🤠 Also I just rewatched the last two episodes of Turn and am still in emotional shambles from that, so please bear with me.

AS SAID: I warn you that this is a very long post with lots of links, and also that this turned out way less hinged than I mean it to jfc (then again being unhinged was my whole goal on here so) 😀

Since I am such a degenerate for setting the things I love to songs, I believe that I shall break this up into odd little sections:

Songs for certain scenes:

The Night Boat

Though this may not be incredibly specific, every time I hear this song, I can picture so clearly every scene by the dark, blue waters of frog’s cove, and can see Caleb approaching in his literal, well, night boat ;) Also if you know me well enough you may already know I have a weird thing when it comes to Turn & Duran Duran— their music is excellent for creativity for me (and also, as much as I love the original version of Night Boat above all, here I use the Danse Macabre version as it’s simply spookier, and better for this vibe ;))

Fuel to Fire

Alright, a little bit of canon, and a little bit of AUs all in one. Though there is already a song playing in this overall scene, some individual moments from it, and just Abe & Townsend’s energy around each other this season in general just screams this song to me. If you recall season one of Turn, you may remember a montage of Simcoe terrorizing Setauket in Against Thy Neighbor while a rendition of a song called Katie Cruel played in the background, sung by none other than Agnes Obel, so she already has Turn vibes considering her music has literally been featured in the show! And even if she hadn’t, the lyrics and the energy of this is so unshakable to me, I cannot imagine ever listening to this song and not thinking about Abe & Robert or at least Turn in general, and not to mention, as some of you may be familiar with, a literary masterpiece by a similar title (Like Fuel to the Fire, I beg of you go read it).

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Ok I know this is even less historic-feeling than the ones included so far, but here me out. I can’t exclude this one because of how much the end of the Nightmare intro, when Abe goes “it’s rainin’” makes me think of this song every time. This scene and this song alike both contain the rain symbolism, they’re both about mourning a father, and ALSO Jamie Bell literally stars in the music video of this song which I find very ironic!! So no, I could not exclude this one. 💕

Songs for specific characters:

Right Where You Left Me

Annlet shippers, I am not trying to hurt y’all, and I know everyone uses Taylor Swift for everything but uh. As arbitrary as most of these lyrics are, for some reason I can picture either of them just sitting in Rivington’s, frozen and thinking about one another and what they’ve done, to this song. And it is depressing but kind of intriguing. So if I hAVE TO THINK THAT SO DO YOU.

Touchy Feely Fool

Wow so much Abraham. Call me what you will but the FIRST time I heard this song I thought about Abe. I cannot help it. It’s hard to explain it, but this just. Reminds me of him so much. Especially when you think about his relationship with Richard, juxtaposed with “maybe someday when I’m older, I’ll be better off like you, I’m better off a stick, I’m better off a stone, I’m better off a jerk, I’m better off alone…” etc. I know I am FUCKING INSANE BUT THE ABE ENERGY IS UNSHAKABLE TO ME. HAHSHAHS. Anyways, attached is an extremely shitty old edit I tried to do for him with it, once again feat. copious Townhull vibes. As you can see it did not go well, and many things went wrong, but now’s as good a time as any for me to post it. As another wise Turn fan once put it: I may be fucking crazy, but I am free.

Songs for AU shit:

Familiar

More Agnes Obel for you! I know this is really unoriginal, I’ve seen a few people relate this song to Townhull in the past I think, but like. I just love it so much, and I can see the vision lmao.

Love Like Ghosts

Keeping with the weird-ass ghost motif, we end, for now, with another song that has the right vibes for a Townhull AU of mine, specifically when it comes to the events of Mended, I think; time for some good old Lord Huron. I hesitated to put this on a playlist for them at first because I really wasn’t sure if it actually fit, but for vibes alone, and this particular scene in such a plot… yeah. ;) If nothing else, the “spirits” that follow Abe could be that of his brother’s memory, and plus, the title and chorus— “love is like ghosts”— is simply hauntingly poetic to me ;)

Was really hoping to get this post up before midnight, but alas, here we are. Anyways, happy late 4th of July to all those celebrating, and even if you are not celebrating, I still hope you have a wonderful evening!! ❤️🤍💙

[whereismyhat5678]

can you draw Werner werman x dr kahl with their robots please?

To whoever sent this WEEKS ago, I am so sincerely sorry-

I FINALLY GOT TO ANSWER IT BUT I’M SORRY FOR MAKING YOU WAIT-

Also about their robots- I really didn’t know how I would make them fit so I just drew them together separately…and-

The background still looks bad to me but ZAM DID I HAVE FUN DRAWING KAHL’S ROBOT- and Katzenwagen was fun too, he’s adorable 🫶

[theboarsbride]

This wasn't great but this is my brand of Trash™️ so I loved it...😔💕

90% of this movie is literally just Rochester yelling and being a stupid dude bro but that's ok because boys'll be boys, y'know?😩

[therentyoupay]

4) What is your favourite genre to write for?

this is so hard. 😭 as much as i love canon-esque, sweeping epics like at the center, or the break the ice series, or canon!rewrites like more than you know, i am such a sucker for thematic SLICE OF LIFE modern!AUs????

how does elsa handle accidentally getting befriended by a mermaid?? frosted sea glass

how does elsa handle her apartment complex neighbor sleepwalking to her door almost every night? the occasional midnight journey

how does blue-collar, tradesman jack handle a beautiful, mysterious, very private stranger moving into the 4 million-dollar log cabin up the road at the top of the north mountain? snow globe

how does swamp!ph.d. student tahno deal with his annoying AF intern? that one night

how does elsa handle her baby sister living with a "platonic bestie" roommate who seems to rather be a bit of a mess of a man and she'd really better come over for dinner to suss out this situation? livable

BUT but i also just really love writing "meet-cutes?"

how does immortal!elsa handle the prospect of meeting potential!ally, two-years-a-guardian, still-insecure about his place in the world!jack? two homes

how does frozen2!elsa respond to finding rotg!guardian!jack in her glacier? the woman in white

how does jack deal with watching heartbroken, immortal!elsa slowly come to accept her place as a guardian? cosset

how do jack and elsa handle meeting when each other's first words to one another are inked on their skin in this soulmate universe? not in so many words

AND THEN THE STORIES THAT FALL INTO BOTH CATEGORIES?? like

anna is so disorganized that elsa ends up accidentally sending a postcard to a mistaken recipient in burgess, virginia, who becomes Deeply Invested in becoming pen pals and tries his best to be Very Persuasive and not creepy in the "i swear i'm not a serial killer" way? check the pipes for frost

homeschooled!just-moved-to-small-suburban-town-life!korra joins the high school cross-country team at her uncle's pushing recommendation and in the midst of acclimating to this new and annoying world of different social norms, accidentally runs into the sleazy superstar of the rival team on a long run through the arboretum that divides the town line—and they may, or may not, accidentally become running buddies??? personal record

and there's literally like twenty more of them, lmao, i'm leaving out so many (college!AU, superhero!AU, third wheel-at-the-movie-theater-in-a-horror-movie!AU) lmao this is JUST MY MO I GUESS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

4. What appears in your OC's darkest nightmares?

8. Would your OC consider themself evil?

10. Does your OC enjoy watching others suffer?

for Imogen? 👀

Ooooh these are good ones, thank you!!! (and sorry it took so long to get to)

tagging @adelaidedrubman who asked for the same 💕

4. What appears in your OC's darkest nightmares?

Imogen very rarely has nightmares, but when she does, her first Master is usually at the forefront of them. And Imogen is always, always back as her apprentice during these dreams — stuck in that point and time she endured for far too long and thought she finally escaped from. Sometimes Imogen wonders if Rejna is trying to actually communicate with her from beyond the grave, to haunt her for the betrayal and murder she suffered at the hands of her own Padawan, but Imogen forces any thoughts of her old Master out of her mind as soon as she wakes up.

8. Would your OC consider themself evil?

I’m not sure Imogen believes in the concept of good or evil because she doesn’t really understand the difference between right and wrong. She does what she wants and if it benefits her, then there’s nothing wrong with it in her eyes. Of course, Imogen is well aware that she has caused a lot of pain and suffering and she’ll never try to claim that she’s “good”, but that pain and suffering really isn’t her problem. She doesn’t know why anyone should care if they aren’t the ones who endure it. Really the first time she experiences any kind of empathy is with Bix.

10. Does your OC enjoy watching others suffer?

Yes, very much so. Imogen experiences a lot of power in the suffering of others. When she’s torturing someone or causing terror in a community, she is in total control, which is her favorite state to be in. The rush is even sweeter when she’s punishing a Jedi. Imogen gets to release some of the resentment that festered inside of her throughout her entire childhood when she fights or tortures or kills a Jedi and the feeling is… euphoric for her. She heals her inner child with violence and death and destruction <3
