there are two types of writers.

“this plot has been in my head for 10 years and finally it’s perfect.”

“what if frogs had a secret government?”

none of those words are in the voynich manuscript

Very cute that in TOS Jim has old man hobbies like reading Shakespeare, Greek Mythologies, and the US Declaration of Independence, and his personal icon is Abrahm Lincoln. But they're in the 23rd century now, which makes it funnier because all of that is so far in the past that it's ancient history and would probably be the modern equivalent of a guy that's really into neolithic cave paintings and prehistoric flute music.

At first I just wanted to draw the badger, but I couldn’t resist drawing more characters. The process of searching for references is so fun.

How can I explain to a normal person that the moment Cas says I love you it is Orpheus turning around. You guys get it though

How do you keep a character fresh on a long running TV show? [x]

"everybody hates me" factoid actually just a statistical error. The average person doesn't hate you, especially not your friends. You, a person who sits in your room experiencing self loathing every day, are an outlier adn should not have been counted.

As the year comes to a close, I just want to highlight all the people that wanted to create this year, but couldn't.

Whether that be due to burn out, lack of inspiration, or simply just not having the time; it's okay. It's hard to center what brings you joy during unprecedented times and these last few years have showed us that plenty.

Just keep chugging along, you're doing fine and we can't wait to see what you've been working on <3

*blinks* y'all think Hardison isn't autistic?

I like how leverage has a genius character and an autistic character but the autistic character isn't the genius character. the genius is a 22 year old black man with adhd who becomes an expert in anything you give him within 24 hours and the autistic character is a white woman who jumps off buildings for fun and once stabbed a man with a fork because he encroached on her personal space and sense of moral conduct

Don't you wonder what the future might hold for us?

There are manmade joys beyond my comprehension, too. The horrors aren’t special.

'was bucky barnes innocent for killing tony stark's parents because he was brainwashed, or was he culpable of the crime?'

surely in this the year of Luigi Mangione 2024 we are not still having this tired old conversation Bucky Barnes killed billionaire war profiteers, he's innocent either way

Yes, but with the caveat it’s also OKAY to want sex or make out scenes!

It’s not bad or shameful if that’s part of what we want, it’s fine and good to want queer men in a healthy relationship that involves a sex life, depicted in mainstream media!

I don’t want buddie because it would be hot to watch them make out or have sex or whatever bullshit some fans clearly wanted all along. I don’t want surface level lust for buddie.

I want them holding hands and being casually affectionate. I want them waking up in the morning together and eating breakfast as a family and taking Christopher to school together. I want pet names and prolonged eye contact and gentle smiles. I want them having tough conversations and disagreeing but still coming to a compromise because they love each other and value what they have together. I want Christopher calling buck dad and for them to have little inside jokes and have him bragging to his friends about having not one, but TWO firefighter dads. I want them defending one another against their parents and their massive expectations and their unwillingness to change even in the face of the long lasting pain they’ve inflicted on their children. I want them sharing their trauma and helping with pt exercises and talking about chronic pain. I want a wedding and more kids and a long lasting relationship that’s built on mutual respect and friendship and understanding.

I don’t just want sex or make out scenes.

I want romance. I want love.

update 2: IT ARRIVED

being an adult is so weird

You ever have those days where you’re like ‘there is technically no one but yourself stopping you from randomly moving to a different country. or spending nearly three hundred bucks on a reproduction of a medieval tapestry. or learning the accordion’

and the other part of your brain is like ‘there’s also no one but yourself stopping you from doing the dishes. gotta do those first’

[dubiousculturalartifact]

some people are taking "doomed" to mean "dead". this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don't die! it's sometimes worse if you don't die!
