how john and paul referred to their music as "their children" - last night i was watching some old interviews on youtube and john referred to eleanor rigby as "paul's baby but i provided the education"
like the way they cleverly rigged the legal system into marrying them as Lennon/McCartney via business & the way they referred to their music as their children (and the breakup of their legal musical partnership as a literal Divorce) ~~
it's just so big 1960s vindictive queer galaxy brain and deserves an award
#mclennon#i just cackle bc they were so smart#and they were soooo ahead of everyone my gods#so ahead of their time#my estranged fiance x you were in my song#not to mention how cynthia was johns beard and paul helped raise julian when he was little so yeah that's a literal child lol#i only tag mclennon bc only you ppl will understand the intricate queer genius at work in all this#the outwitting done by two v clever and trolling men too smart for their circumstances and strictures

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! !
thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it
as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard
(and something else)
first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being.
(please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))
a few fav scenes
emotional support cwab
they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.
papery critter.
even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses.
(im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)
and finally,
little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3
i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.
so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and
[
several hours later ...
]
oh
oh man
it's a little bigger than i expected
<next>
#--/ art#alan becker#animator vs animation#animation vs minecraft#Minecraft bed#ava the dark lord#ava the chosen one#me when the project that obviously wasn't going to be done in one night isn't done in one night: D: !?!?!?!?#kudos to whoever routed the Speedrun actual short because that one is so fun and clean and savvy#clever made up time-savers? includes orange's TNT shield-jump?? nonlethal dragon dispatch??? sweet#ithink you can see where i tried to head with this#turns out that turning up the complexity 98 notches higher makes things trickier to parse hmmmmmm?#in fact i might need some help with this one ;>v>' like a lot.#i had a bit of a story and route set up already i just... wanted to make sure everything was at least kinda there...................#we'll see#the pie joke. i was trying to categorize which foodstuffs chosen should be able to make on the fly. with their flame hands.#ex. cooking meats makes sense because flint and steel works for the same purpose (you can kill a burning animal to get cooked meats)#but baking bread or drying kelp seems way more involved or whatever -> needs a proper furnace environment#HOWEVER... i noticed that Steve can just summon pumpkin pies from his bare hands if he wants to without even a workbench. so. sure! lol.#this is scraping the surface of the minutiae i want to consider#(ALSO KUDOS to everyone who RUNS/works on all-advancements. of course. riding on your shoulders here)#final joke is that chosen didn't know how crazy this undertaking would be to learn#but dark is very literally programmable. so you could maybe just plug some TAS instructions into him and off he goes#or even more open-ended than that just give him the list of advancements + stipulations + the wiki and similar result#it'd get done but. i dont think he'd find that fun at all. prefers to write his own instructions if you see what i mean#i might be forgetting some context. it is rather late you see. please ask me questions about this! ;P#tco aa

He’s red and he’s white and he’s green and he’s grey /
My bonny young dragon, come hither away...
Keith Windham and Nuntius, out of Luzula's stunning Flight of the Heron/Temeraire crossover fic 'The Flight of Dragons.'
#em draws stuff#em is posting about temeraire#temeraire#the flight of the heron#keith windham#temeraire worldbuilding collection#PART ONE of the current massive I Need To Illustrate Other People's Tem Crossover Fic project!#luzula's fic is a really cool exploration of eighteenth century temverse britain and explores a lot of things that I too wished to know#about the history and variation of dragon-human partnership even within the british isles!!#really I think that this fic can and should be read by temeraire enjoyers even if they haven't read foth#(but also. if you read this and then want to read foth about this. More power to you &c &c)#other important thing to note here is how much nuntius's design owes to both the incredible tem fanart cataloguing being done by#esteemed tumblr user travellingdragon!! and their own design for greylings!!#...it was so weird to draw keith in a 1740s approximation of aviator uniform. he looks like just some guy now :]#also. caption lyrics are a modified version of real folk song 'my bonny moorhen' because I think I'm v funny and clever

no change in the movies pisses me off more than them having peeta just scream "ur all gonna die!!!1!1" at the camera with the hard cut to haymitch going "that was a warning (empath)" when in the book it was peeta struggling to even get the warning out and literally everyone in 13 expect haymitch and katniss going "wtf did he mean by that he can't be trusted" to which haymitch had to desperately plead with coin to listen to the warning, because that's obviously what is was, and none of them know peeta except for him and katniss
Like as unintentionally funny as the scene in the movie is it wasn't even a moment in the books that makes haymitch seem all that clever, like they try to spin in it the movie, it was just him knowing and trusting peeta. It was a testiment to his love for the kid, not anything else ughhfhfjkdkdkf
#they really unintentionally dumb haymitch and katniss down#with this scene with the notes in the games by not showing us his games#like haymitch and katniss are incredibly clever and a lot of that is shown in the books by how they effortlessly understand each other#obviously a big one is ''im with the mockingjay''#but then communicating through gifts in the games#haymitch knowing exactly how to get katniss to be appealing on a screen#How he survived his games with the forcefield and figuring out the trick of the arena...#the list is endless but they cut out so many of the moments from the movies and focus on the wrong ones#so movie haymitch just doesn't hold the same punch to me and book haymitch#also forever mad about him being blonde in the movies#haymitch abernathy#the hunger games#:v

rereading order of the stick (again), and greyiew is only in a few comics so far but man do i love this nihilistic wolf
#order of the stick#yes i know it hasn't been terribly long since i last reread it but#i've been desperately trying to get my dnd group to read it and i just had to go back and go through it again#and again. the first 250 strips or so are pretty cringey and there's aspects even later that make me wince#but fuck once you get to the soul splice arc you've read the last bad oots comic#''utterly dwarfed'' is fucking *incredible*#i am both incredibly ready and incredibly not ready for the climax#i bet durkon will live and i'm sure haley elan and roy will#o-chul i'm leaning ''survives'' and lien i think will make it#minrah will probably make it. i bet serini is doomed.#belkar is obviously doomed#i'm 100% on the fence about v#like straight-up 50/50 both ''live'' and ''die'' serve strong narrative purposes#but as to how it all plays out?#v still owes the fiends 23 minutes meaning the order can't rely on them to back them up in the clutch#so on the one hand it would make the most sense for them to hit as hard and fast as possible#but on the other - if the fiends *don't* call in the debt for their own purposes#they will have burned out their most powerful member too soon#burlew is too clever and too good a writer for a traditional battle scene as the climax#more is going to happen. *something* massive is going to shift#serini turns? redcloak turns on xykon and gets eaten by the mitd?#i can't tell! i'm going to flip tf out whenever it does happen though#hnggh this has been 20 years in the making and the climaxes have not failed a single note yet#burlew is goddamned *good* at rising action and nailing the climax of a story arc#it's gonna be fucking incredible ugh

every time I get into a long cp77 session (like actually playing and getting immersed into the world) I just get this overwhelming urge to incoherently scream about how much I love valerie 😭
#and then i do a quest that makes me break character in order to complete it and i get annoyed at the game lmao#like the edgerunners extra thing#as if valerie would play a random bd out of the trash please#doesnt matter though because she is MY GIRL and i love her and her tenderness and her war crimes and her contradictions and her cute smiles#and her little 🍑 and her relationships and her deep connection to night city and her bad decisions and her cleverness and ajfjnfkdkfkkff#ahhhhhhhhhhhh#ignore me#i just need several moments#t: wench games#oc: valerie v powell#g: cyberpunk 2077

My boss is like, heavily encouraging (encouraging- not pressuring ^^) me to go for this grant (7000 dollars so long as I go for a diploma cert) cuz she apparently thinks I'm capable and smart?? A hardworker?? No one has ever thought I was smart (sweet, generous, creative are all things people have called me a lot but no adult in my life has ever called me smart)!! I dunno if she's just being nice or what but it's good to hear 😅 XD
#i've just gotten used to being the dumby 😅😅😅#i'm in on the joke!!#its just a fact. my sister is clever. my brother is smart. my dads a genius. my mums the most focused organised person e v e r#and i'm the airy fairy head in the clouds *silly* one.#so when someone calls me smart!??#jesus mother fucking christ--#i think maybe i could be??? 😅

I love the brand of adult humor Dead End brings to the scene because it isn’t a ‘raunchy dirty jokes’ type of humor, it’s a wittier ‘real world relatable-to-the-older-viewers’ type of humor.
#like it’s presented in a way the kids can probs get a chuckle out of it#maybe a bit from deadpan absurdity#but the target audience is obviously the older viewers#‘did aliens build the pyramids or are conspiracy theorists just racist?’#‘she’s a rich white lady! they can be the worst!’#‘well I’m not immediately good at it so I might as well give up’#like that’s all hilarious esp in a kids show#yeah#it’s again. v refreshing for the adult jokes to not be something dirty but something clever#like shrek’s ‘we’re from the union’ ‘we don’t even have dental’ ‘they don’t even have dental’#it gives rewatchability for all ages!#anyway#dead end paranormal park#de:pp#my post

It was a strange sound. Wood against wood, a subtle tapping whose rhythm felt unnatural but ( at this point ) wholly familiar. To others it might seem a nuisance, but Sanji had learned to find a great deal of comfort in knowing that Bambo and her beloved puppet were hard at work, perfecting their act.
"You've been at it since this morning, Bambo-chan. Don't you think you should rest and have some lunch?"
#mariionetta#「 ( sanji ; ic ) 」#「 v. in search of the all blue ( sanji ; one piece ) 」#( what the HECKIE this whole oc is just!! SO AWESOME )#( a puppeteering devil fruit feels so dang natural that i'm surprised it's not canon )#( you're so clever. i adore bambo already WHEEZE )

"you're not funny" from laura
@retrograderesemblance
Ben held a hand over his chest, feigning innocence as he blinked up at Laura's peevish scowl. With a grin, he finally relented, "I think I'm a little funny... You said so yourself that you were sick of Larry in accounting, so I obliged. Is this any way to show your gratitude?"
In Laura's hand, she held the fated jar from the fridge -- the one he'd used for what he believed to be a very clever prank -- before he turned back to his laptop with a snort. "I couldn't very well put your keys in Jell-O again. I have matured as an 'ar-teest.'"
In truth, Ben wasn't usually the type to disrupt the workplace, but Laura had been unbearable as of late -- the stress of their latest case had her constantly on edge -- and if he'd been able to deviate some of that tension? Well...he wasn't expecting a medal or anything, but a "thank you" would suffice.
"I need your surveillance findings on the Whitman case," he said, not bothering to look up. "Are you going to keep standing around holding that fake head, or will you stop horsing around and join me?"
All right. So perhaps he was baiting her just a little.
#retrograderesemblance#two heads are better than one#v: modern au#//LoL i found that prank and thought it was pretty clever tbh#i linked it in the reply so you can see just what he did to poor ol' larry lol

sorry for haymitch posting constantly but the funniest thing to me is in his games there was nothing outwardly suggesting everything was poison but his paranoid ass saw fresh water and went "it's a trap" and the hilarious part is he was right
#:v#haymitch abernathy#the hunger games#Like his survided the hardest most dangerous games by not trusting anything#except mayslee and then you know. she dies bc he figured out the forcefield#The focus on forcefields in cf does drive me a little bit insane#in a good way I like the imagery of something used to trap being used as a weapon against the captors#does make me go a little crazy thinking about what this says abt haymitch tho#sure drunk 40 yr old who had his family murdered and was forced to watch 46 kids die isn't going to trust anyone#but why does a 16 yr old kid expect something horrible at every turn#to the point he only trusts someone after they save his life KINDA LIKE KATNISS HUH .#sorry those two drive me insane...........#Like yeah haymitch is also just incredibly clever to figure out the tricks but it says a lot abt his upbringing#healthy kids with healthy families don't expect everything to kill them is all I'm saying

Tag drop: Guizhong (don't mind me re-dropping this with the fixed ones, shh)
#guizhong. [ many things only seem to surface beneath the moon's poignant glow. wherever its light shines; the heart is wont to follow. ]#guizhong: ic. [ wherever her spirit may be among the countless grains of sand and specks of dust between the harbor and the mountains. ]#guizhong: countenance. [ and because they are afraid; they try so hard to become more intelligent. this i understand. ]#guizhong: introspection. [ although she did not live to see the splendid sights of today: she was as much a hero as any other. ]#guizhong: meta. [ her manuscripts lie unfinished in her abode. the blank pages give cause for contemplation on what might have been. ]#guizhong: little notes. [ she always sought to make everyone happy and one must say: she had quite the gift for it. ]#guizhong: wishes. [ it took a treasure hunt just to preserve the commandments that were once the lifeblood of a whole civilization. ]#guizhong: etc. [ we think of human life as like a lantern that's lit one minute and extinguished the next. but are we adepti so different?#guizhong: mortals. [ at their full potential; they could be her equal. a human who has as much to teach an adeptus as to learn from them. ]#guizhong: guili plains. [ as guizhong once said: “it takes every blade of grass and every flower to make a homeland.” ]#guizhong: liyue. [ perhaps she will look at the liyue of today and steal a smile when she sees the prosperous land that it has become. ]#guizhong: realm of clouds. [ a voyage to a sanguine sky. ]#guizhong: mechanical arts. [ in one's heart; i knew that she was indeed the superior talent in the mechanical arts. ]#guizhong: glaze lilies. [ they were far more abundant back then. the entire fields would appear to the eye as a veritable sea of flowers. ]#guizhong: adepti. [ until the moon set and the sun rose. and only then would the banquet finally come to an end. ]#guizhong: morax. [ whoever it was that revered her so much was very clever indeed. ]#guizhong: guili. [ with shortness of breath; i will explain the infinite. and how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist. ] delusiona#guizhong: marchosius. [ who would dare snub the stove god and his wondrous creations? at the sight: we would all drop any argument. ]#guizhong: streetward rambler. [ it almost felt like she was back again. sitting right there on the stone stool next to me; chatting away. ]#guizhong: cloud retainer. [ we each had our ideals; and neither one of us would yield to the other. ]#guizhong: skybracer. [ to who lived by the mountain; he was their savior. they thought higher of him than they thought of the lord of geo.#guizhong: osial. [ she would disrupt the silence around them with a hum; as if to sing along to the harmony of water. was this his song? ]#guizhong: sea gazer. [ he was quite the braggart when it came to those collectibles he was so fond of; he always loved to show them off. ]#guizhong: ganyu. [ if we planted flowers in the guili plains; do you think that one day we'd be able to recreate the sea of glaze lilies? ]#guizhong: v. descension. [ she descended whose dominion was over dust; and whose reach shrouded the skies for thousands of miles around. ]#guizhong: v. guili assembly. [ it's great to have it back but i want to go back to the world. and start with guili plains. ]#guizhong: v. archon war. [ they fought upon the plains; where black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered. ]#guizhong: v. present. [ all wrapped up in a city that has existed for many moons to date. all these things: they are why people chase it. ]#guizhong: inquiries. [ hmph. she always had a way with words. ]

the way atsumu would have the most off putting profile known to man on any dating app......................
#all his selfies are shirtless#in at least three of them he's sitting in his car#“let's support each other's dreams and handle each other's nightmares” in his bio#“personality? you'll have to find out ;)”#“HERE FOR A GOOD TIME NOT A LONG TIME”#“just looking for someone I can laugh at... not with” he thinks this one's really clever (it's not)#his first messages suck ass too lmaoooo#“when I was little I wanted to be a pirate and to this day I'm still obsessed with finding good booty”#“last night I spooned myself some ice cream so can I spoon you tonight?”#v rambles: haikyuu

Ugh they really had to adapt that aspect of Tek Knight from the comics. 🙄
#I suppose I’m glad that they limited his compulsion to just objects#and I do otherwise like what they did with his character#just wish they found something more clever than that freakin’ tumor#gen v spoilers#gen v prime#gen v#tek knight
