I have thoughts and none of them are in order.

Nerdy moron who likes to ramble inanely and sometimes I make mediocre drawings. This is my personal void to scream into and should not be taken with any level of seriousness. Stay tuned for folklore, media analysis and history wankery from a stupid Englishman who somehow passed GCSE.

Pierce Brosnan!!!!!!!!!
That’s right I finally fucking finished him. It took me 5 design sketches, multiple months and much more thought than it deserves. Behold.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here he is with the rest of the group 👆 one to go!
I’ll confess, I just kinda figured one of them had to be the most like a Bond girl - more on the elegant/sexy end of the spectrum than the overly silly ribbons and bows end - and Pierce Brosnan seemed like an ideal candidate. Mostly because Daniel Craig and Sean Connery both have to be ridiculous for my own entertainment. Plus I feel like he has a very middle-aged period drama type appeal to him (<- okay I saw ONE image of him that fit that narrative but… shhh).
His outfit has the least Easter eggs/details from his movies in it because I haven’t seen any of them, sorry. The main point of inspiration is probably kinda obvious - the torture chair had a really interesting design. He’s got sock garters but you can’t really see them and the top half of the design had to be reworked so many times idk if you can see the inspiration from his trench coat turtleneck outfit.
I have genuinely no idea how Pierce Brosnan is in the movies but taking a guess at how his Bond is portrayed from pictures on Google and a couple of quotes, I think this Bond would be the group rebel/rogueish type.
I hope you enjoy, sorry for the wait, and here’s a picture of Roger Moore pretending to be a crocodile as compensation for seeing this post (no, I don’t know why ALL of the weird Bond images are from his era).

My Brother Dreams of Being a Doctor… But We Have Nothing.
My youngest brother is only a child, but war stole his innocence.
My other brother dreams of becoming a doctor—to heal others because he has seen too much pain.
Another dreams of becoming an engineer, to rebuild what war has destroyed.
And me? I dream of going to university and giving them a better life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But we have nothing. Our home was bombed. My mother and sister were killed. We were forced to flee.
I am doing everything I can to keep my brothers safe, to hold onto hope, but we can’t do this alone.

You know I never grew up watching soaps because my parents hated them, and I frankly don’t have the attention span for them anyway, but boy… do not let me Google soap plotlines because both times it has ended in tears.
First I cried in school about Jack Woolley’s dementia plotline on the Archers (FANTASTIC use of the soap format btw, like genuinely that is genius) now I’m up crying about Roy and Hayley from Corrie and how these two poor weirdos found each other and eventually lost each other again. They deserved every happiness.

Can’t believe I might actually be studying An Inspector Calls again Jesus actual Christ. I apologise if I start making Goole memes again everybody.
(Need a post-1900s play for my English A-Level coursework and unfortunately it’s just too convenient)

I fear the art potential for this show is just TOO HIGH. So many gorgeous people and gorgeous set and props.
Tumblr media
Anyway the sisterhood reunions after the show are giving me life. Two of them were not good traitors bless but I loved their trio all the same!!! And Linda is a real one for being loyal all the way, even if she should NOT have made it that far 💀

Traitors is over and Frankie was my favourite finalist. Enjoy.
Tumblr media
She was iconic, she was a mission MVP, she was well-dressed and her voice was NOT irrelevant in the end 🫶

Today on: Things Nobody Asked For, I watched Box of Delights over Christmas with my mum and in true going-through-a-period-of-endless-misery fashion, decided making an adaptation of it a la 2016 CBBC might just fix me.
Enjoy ig this is so stupid I haven’t even read the book, nor do I care to.

In honour of season 3 of Traitors airing I would like to give my completely unnecessary takes on the vibes Claudia gives off in every season.
Season 1 - Reclusive celebrity who’s secretly sadistic behind the scenes. The ‘death game’ is something she’s set up like a murder mystery for her own amusement. Closest to a real murder mystery novel. Nobody knows quite what they’re getting into but they do know Claudia. Seems genuinely happy for the winners.
Season 2 - Malevolent evil god. The way Claudia managed to sell the empty embrace of evil after Harry won and had to sit with everything he’d done, alone with the money, was insane. A lot more darker fate and death imagery in that season too.
Season 3 - Now here’s where I’m conflicted, because on one hand I want to say evil pantomime narrator (constant talking to camera, the fairground, etc.) but on the other I want to say cult leader because that’s clearly what they seem to be going for. The last mission really evoked Midsommar. We’ll have to see how it pans out.

I don’t know what possessed me to draw this but this has had a death grip on my friend group ever since so I present, Kenny Boy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Explanation??? My little cousin inherited like five dolls from my aunt and they were all female. She wanted a male doll (for romance and stuff yk) so she cut the hair off the only Barbie and the family refers to him as ‘Kenny Boy’ (imagine this in a thick Yorkshire accent otherwise it doesn’t work).
Anyway I think male Northern Barbie is one of the best things I have ever drawn so here.

Thought I’d share some non-fan art that I did for my Development project for school because I am legitimately getting brainrot about this stupid story I made up for a grade and this might be one of the best things I’ve ever drawn.
Tumblr media
Ignore the fact it’s a Christmas song I had the idea in early December.

You know it’s not always a romantic thing when someone becomes so intertwined with you that you don’t know who you’d be without them.
Have you ever had a friend where you’re known only as one of a pair. Where people know your name only as part of ���[a] and [b]’. Where people mistake you for each other and get you mixed up, even if you look nothing alike, have completely different personalities, are different genders, your names sound nothing like each other, etc. Where you get asked ‘where’s [b]?’ every time you’re not with them. Where a day that they weren’t around felt wrong because their presence was just baseline.
A friendship, to use a metaphor that gives me flashbacks to earlier last year, like an ionic bond. Where you’re tied together by the parts of you that have become so much a part of each other that you’re considered one entity.
And if you’ve never had this experience I’m sure you’ve met at least one package deal in your life whether you’ve thought about it or not. Sometimes it doesn’t take being a couple for people to see you as one half of a whole.

I remember a lot about the How To Train Your Dragon books because I was fucking crazy about them as a kid, and I think my favourite little thing I didn’t think about when I was like. 8. Is how they present singing in their culture.
Because obviously, it’s accurate somewhat to actual Viking culture, they had sagas, they knew how to have a good time. But it also feels like a good representation of singing in current-day Britain? Like football culture is associated with masculinity and toughness (football hooligan archetype is kind of dying out now but you get me) but it’s also known for a bunch of middle aged men belting out the most creative lyrics you’ve ever heard in your life. And they’re all vulgar. We love a good song/chant opportunity, even the hardest of the hard men. The naughtier the better.
I dunno. Here’s my sudden revelation about books I haven’t read since I was like ten.

Throwback to that time at secondary school where a set of identical twins that both went to my primary school got split between schools, with one at my school and one at a selective school the other didn’t get into started dressing up as each other and trying the different schools out for shits and giggles.
All the kids were in on this of course but it was genuinely the funniest thing for ages watching these two game the system for no reason at all. Plus it did have the positive of the other twin being able to stay in touch with her primary school friends who went to my school because they weren’t smart enough for hers.
Apart from that one time where they messed up and both accidentally came into my school on the same day and one of them had to jump over the fence to avoid them getting caught. That was bad lol.

It's always sooooo funny when English people or Americans are like "Why are Irish names so hard to pronounce?? Why are these Welsh words so insane???" that's because it is a different language that you do not speak hope this helps ❤️
