#Bowler rambles

[bowlerhatwearer]

Re-watching Angel Hare, I noticed a photograph in "Case 4 - Field Work"

In the middle we have Zag and on the left I assume Gabby, so I wonder, is the person on the right who is obscured by light, perhaps Cam?

Edit:

Given how in "Bonus Disc - First Save" there is a picture where presumably on the right is Cam's Fran, I think it makes sense that it is Cam.

Bonus:

This has nothing to do with me theorizing, but I think it is adorable that a photograph exists of Francis and Zag together and smiling :-.)

Happy December, I’m I the only one but does anyone else remember or have played Polar Bowler back in the day?

NOW THIS WAS THE SHIT MY GUY! (Now I really wish Wild Tangent would bring this to Steam, GOG, or something because I’d love to play this again someday)

[mibkid]

Listen through and through i like vld , Yes i know shocker!(it isn't, though i have only posted ONCE about it on here w art..but anyways)

So if there was anything about voltron it was that the show had some bomb ass edits made and put on youtube.

That fandom thrived on those. i swear.

I also swear there was this whole "everything black" edit that i watched over and over.... i can't find it now BUT THERE WAS and the transitions were good too.

Dirt poor

Neurodivergent-coded

Cringefail baby man

Comically miserable backstory

Blamed all his problems on his roommate who was also an orphan

Simped for his evil robot hat

It really says something about the world that we live in that the Onceler is the definition of tumblr sexymen while this poor guy was forgotten.

He could've been a Tumblr sexyman. He deserved to be a Tumblr sexyman, and we deprived him of that.

My Writing Masterlist

Everything that I've written lives here. Ted Lasso and Hogwarts Legacy, currently, but there's always room for more!

Ted Lasso

Roy Kent x Reader: Bowled Over (Multi-chapter, in progress)

You work at a bowling alley and a young girl named Phoebe has a birthday party there. You catch her uncle's eye.

Headcanons and Ramblings

Roy's whistle, straight teeth, and mouth hives

Hogwarts Legacy

Care of a Magical Creature (One-shot)

Professor Sharp finds the Hero of Hogwarts, Elizabeth Shallowbrook, in his classroom one night during her sixth-year, overwhelmed by the expectations that her heroics during the previous year have wrought.

Hiding in Herbology (One-shot)

Elizabeth Shallowbrook, now in her seventh-year at Hogwarts, is taking refuge in the greenhouse basement after receiving a letter from her mother when her sulking is interrupted by the potions professor, coming to gather ingredients from storage. Is technically a follow-up to Care of a Magical Creature, but can be read separately.

Bowler Bonnie

From that one Bonnie image in security breach that looks nothing like glamrock bonnie. Reference, final thoughts, and modelling progress under the cut.

For bendable fabric I'm surprised that weight painting cooperated with me.

I made the normal map actually look decent too, but maybe my posing and lighting is a bit off.

Also I now have a new tag for these posts: Rubellite rambles

[eventide-owls]

Sanders Sides in my style (including FANMADE Orange Side and Character!Thomas), where I mashed up Thomas's appearance in golden-age SS, modern-day SS and my personal artistic liberties!

Rambling commentary on design choices under the cut...

Love it when people take design inspo from his dyed hair era and make it color-coded to the other sides through the power of artistic magic

Gave stubble and ear piercings so he looks closer to his current appearance

Decided to give Character!Thomas that one jacket he really seems to like rather than the popular Steven Universe shirt bc it reflects his current style more

LOVE it when people give Roman scars- also gave Remus one across his eye to make him similar to Roman

Speaking of Remus... I removed the silver streak bc it's kinda a hassle to draw and doesn't really unify him with the others (also clutters his design) + just gave him heavier facial hair rather than a full-mustache

Janus's snake-side is usually a washed-out green when Thomas has his make-up so I made it more vibrant! I usually hate drawing Janus bc bowler hat + snake scales is a STRUGGLE but I like how he turned out

ORANGE SIDE ORANGE SIDE

His hair is spiked and swooped back to make him 'disheveled', 100% believe Thomas will wear orange contacts so he has those, and gave him short-sleeved leather jacket to relate him to Logan's short-sleeves

[pjunicornart]

Hey, at least BHG didn't kill a dog and watch it chew its own guts out... I'd expect Dor-15 to do that, though.

(Thanks, dude. 💗)

He's so cunty about his victory.

[crepesuzette2023]

so i am terminally obsessed with all of your paul-related magritteposting recently and was wondering if you would be so kind as to lay out why magritte screams paul to you (beyond the obvious robert fraser connection, ofc)

Thanks for asking!

[I'll put my own thoughts and mutterings first, and then link to some great posts that further show & elaborate on the Paul McCartney - René Magritte connection...because where would we all be without the great web-weavers that came before us?]

So, first of all, I'm fascinated by their connection because Paul himself talked about it—and, by doing so, he mirrors Magritte's art. Or what would you call it if someone says, what speaks to my innermost heart as an artist is his refusal to pinpoint the nature and mechanisms of said heart? Ceci n'est pas une pipe!

Paul's willingness, à la Magritte, to accept inspiration from his dreams (or the universe) without questioning it can be misconstrued as shallow (or a lie: is he really not choosing the words deliberately? I'd say: even if he does, I get his desire to plunge them into the pool of not going to question or explain it anymore, 'cause it's art now. Doesn't he have rights?!). His emulation of Magritte as a straight artist showing up for work at set hours wearing a slightly eccentric uniform, e.g., bowler hats, likewise can be seen as cowardly, or too cute. But isn't it also generous to allow others (us) to keep our distance from the artist-as-person? To allow for the possibility that we have our own interpretations, too?

Cue the similarity to your very good friend David Lynch, and his Refusal to Elaborate! (See for instance this post by @funeral.)

But I have to stop rambling about character and meta—what about the art?

To me, Magritte's paintings, with their mixture of accessible beauty and opaque strangeness, are really artistic twins of McCartney's songs. Composed of clear lines and strong colors, recognizable figures and spaces, they contain nothing overtly threatening, and yet— and there's the way the figures famously turn away, like Paul's purely fictional protagonists. Their everyman quality that makes you curious. The sweet, harmless signature. The unexpected juxtapositions.

There's a sense of the unflappable to Magritte's paintings, of being undisturbed, the calm of accepting the images as they come. A lack of self-censorship. Let 'Em In.

Even the pipe, like Jim McCartney's...

I remember one time I saw a Magritte painting: The Voice of Space. It's so simple and beautiful, but also outrageous. I remember just staring at it, ignoring everything else—not because it was interesting and upsetting, but because it was also nice to look at...

Very Mr. Musical Blendini.

And maybe that is the reason Paul loves Magritte: Because identifying with him allows him to cast his reluctance to "go too far" in his behavior as an act of subversion—or perhaps meeting Magritte helped him realize that his, Paul's, way of being an artist had been subversive all alone. A "secret raver" like his father (and unlike his more openly weird brother, Mike).

And you know how it is: Once you decide two things belong together, you see the connections everywhere.

For more on Paul and Magritte (and a bit of John and Yoko!), there's this fabulous long post: The Surrealist by @thecoleopterawithana.

Two examples for the affinity between Magritte's paintings and Paul's music/art: The Fool, also by @thecoleopterawithana, and this post by @eppysboys.

Here is a beautiful illustration of the sky-blue and bowler hats connection, by @tavolgisvist — who also found the Magritte-inspiration for the cover of Red Rose Speedway.

ab kal ke match ka heartfelt ramble ka waqt aaya hai honestly there's sm energy in me and it has to go somewhere, I'm gonna start off with the tournament as a whole, because some teams like Afghanistan and South Africa do deserve their appreciation as well. They both managed to do what their own teams before then failed to- playing a final and semi-final is a feat worth achieving ✨🙌🏻 and they managed to do it. We saw some good old West Indies back and that brought back a sense of childhood who had seen the likes of DJ Bravo and Chris Gayle play. Now as a fellow indian, seeing the Australian being defeated by Afghanistan and then later us 🥳 only to pin down their hope on Bangladesh- IT FELT SO SURREAL, LIKE YES BITCH CUMMINS THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING SO RUDE (and 19 Nov ka badla hum toh Aussies se bohot baar lenge, with dugna lagaan)

Ind vs Eng, was the ultimate banger for me, the whole transition from a 10 wicket loss to 10 wicket haul was just amazing!! And sometimes we Indians forget the essence of our own bowlers in our team, but this wc was all about bowlers (ours and other countries)- after the ipl bashing, this entire month must have felt so hopeful to them. We got so many players like Bumrah, Maharaja, Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq defending low scoring matches- these matches that kept us as audience on edge. What a beautiful time to be a skilled bowler!

Now coming to yesterday, as a person that had nothing against South Africa as such but only had love for India- I deeply feel sorrow for your loss. I guess, we Indians know better than anyone how it feels to win all matches and then lose the final. I believe, your captain Markram is gonna do the magic our Rohit Sharma did last night. You just have to believe in him!

And to my beautiful Men in Blue- kal toh dil jeet liya 🥹🙌🏻 Everyone had been so worked up in the entire tournament. All of 11 players deserved the world cup, especially those that had played the 19 Nov. Last night's match was taking my breath away every over, it was so suspenseful and thriller and in the words of Sidhu "yeh match nazuk dil walo ke liye nahi hai" and it definitely wasn't and Bapu tumne toh humari jaan leli kal with that over (jeet mei sab maaf hai) but thank you Sky for taking the catch which people will talk about 10 years from now and thank you Hardik for not breaking our trust in that last over (Rohit did kiss you on behalf of 1.5 billion people yesterday 😚) but more than thank you to Captain that ended the trophy draught and thank you to the Coaches! ❤️

To Rahul Dravid, who was so intense yesterday- Indiranagar ka gunda jag gaya kal full 🥹😂 but thank you so much for making us what we are!! We are going to miss you so much 🫂🥹 and to Rohit and Kohli, we aren't sure if t20i will ever be same without you.

to the indian cricket team, WE ARE SO FUCKING PROUD OF YOU!! 💙🇮🇳

[okaystoptellingmetomakeanaccount]

Rambles about mickey as reed richards:

The latest What If Disney Fantastic Four thingy had a panel

This one. That really makes me wish that we could have some Egmont writers at these comics. Like this panel is just screaming to follow with a panel where Donald goes: “nope, i’m gonna go show off and use these powers to make money.” that i was genuinely baffled when it turns out he’s completely honest and wants to use his powers for good.

Okay look the comic gets pretty good around halfway through, and imo you can also see Pastrovicchio enjoying himself more and his art being much better too. The start his art looks to me quite quickly done and the script is full of this do-good-ery nonsense like in that panel i showed. It’s all so happy and it feels weird and unnatural, even most other DPW stories aren’t like this. Just this Marvel stuff that is really empty and conflictless.

And the way it’s described by everyone really annoys me too imma be real. Rant time it’s late and im in that mood im magica you guys are ratface sorry. They always go: “oh it’s very funny and endearing” and then they point out a one panel joke that’s completely irrelevant to the wider thing as one of THE main points worth complimenting, and to me it just really reads like these Marvel guys care more about the easily snappable moments that they can point out to advertise instead of putting even the slightest bit of thought in it. Like I’m from the Netherlands, our behind the scenes coverage regarding the comics in publications is minim, and still, that super small section at the end of a pocket that talked about popular stories of a writer was a thousand times more eloquently written than any of these things

this doesn’t even read like it was written by a human be real. And i can’t get over how they describe those moments as ‘funny’ because i don’t think they are funny jokes at all. They’re cute details that set the tone of the thing at max, they do not qualify as proper ‘jokes’ (the comedy should be the real meat of the comic according to these people), it’s as having “in the ant man movie, ant man has a big fight and funny moments” as your selling point, oh wait fuck me they do. (I like ant man movie btw no real hate to ant man movie)

Idk man these just dont fully feel disney comic to me. Ducktales 2017 is way closer. This too safe Hollywood vibey.

Also i’d like these to be like you know, more actual parodies. I want them to make fun of old marvel tropes. It’s obvious they’re not gonna be orgoglio e pregiudizio so if not honest adaptations at least make them more actual parodies.

Now good things: SPOILERS and you really gotta not want them because there’s a really fun surprise in this one.

So either Behling or Secchi just had a stroke of genius brilliance and decided that this was gonna be a sequel to Land beneath the ground. Well not exactly that, but it has the the barks bowler terrie firmie guys you know.

Right that

And Secchi makes them say actual funny things like you would expect them to in a parody. They make fun of Marvel villains and their monologues, the ideas present are actually kinda interesting, and you’re like wow oh my god it’s actually good! And then it ENDS! AGAIN! Just like that! No proper conclusion, they (everybody except for minnie, who does literally nothing the entire story except make pete trip, of which i’m not sure is supposed to poke fun at marvel or is genuinely just sexist oh woman can’t fight) just fight and the story ends. But they’re getting closer to greatness each time! Once Pete and the Barks references shows up it takes a massive leap in quality, so I believe actually that the next one can be genuinely good. Yippee yah yay or something.

It's hurting very much . Like middle order aur finishers ache they vesa hi openers vi khel lete to kitna acha hota, just fall short of mere 10 runs bowlers to pit hi rhe hain . Don't know whom to blame so blaming the whole team 😀😀 and fate like why are you being bitch.

Even thinking from there pov hurts like getting stabbed by a dagger . Why it has to be them Just whyy mi management and mark Boucher bkl .

Aur maine ek post dekhi usme ek commentator ne bhot kaleshi si baat boli , like jis se hardik ko aur hate mile bhai pehle hi itni milti hai tum log aur vo krdo 😀😀😀

Also it was kishmish's 100th ipl match and he didn't scored much and am worried for him and they lost isn't helping.Uske dimag mai chl to rha hoga ki 10 runs hor bna leta and the cycle of self blame gonna continue but it isn't his fault solely 🎀🎀

Chalo 9 matches gaye 5 match ka trauma hor hai 😀😀😀 .

Literally happy for hardik for his inning that too in that situation it was kuch needed 😭😭😭🎀🎀🎀

And to the people( mostly 45 FC) who were blaming him for the loss (including me somewhere) in today's match who you gonna blame Ro for the least sr 😀

At this point am just rambling some shits 💀💀💀

Itni shakti mujhe dena data ki agle 5 jhel saku. 🎀🎀🎀

Evil Love Blooming In The Dark Part1 Jude Jazza ~ Bitter END

 ｡⋆｡˚🦋˚｡⋆｡

Man wearing a bowler hat: "I knew you would come. Come this way, please."

The man wearing a bowler hat recognized Mr. Jude.

He puts an arm around my neck, pulling me closers and placing a gun to my temple.

Jude: "To have a gun and a knife pointed in a single day."

Jude: "Gosh, Kate you're so lucky. I'm glad you got to experience such things this quickly."

Kate: *gulps*

The cold, unsympathetic look in Mr. Jude's eyes makes it impossible to guess what his intentions were when he came here.

(The moment Mr. Jude cuts me off, my life is over)

Kate: "Nn...."

Kate: "P-Please....help me."

My voice was shaking from fear as I try to squeeze it out.

Jude: "........"

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Yes, that's right. What else can you do besides comply with your girlfriend's request?"

Man wearing a bowler hat: "So, can you please turn a blind eye to the goods in your warehouse?"

(Goods.....?)

Jude: "Ha. You wanna break your contract with me, huh? You know what that means right?"

Jude: "When I gave you this warehouse, I clearly stated that I don't wanna see 'humans' being bought and sold. didn't I?"

(.....So the goods he mentioned earlier......were humans....?)

(So the 'bad info' Mr. Jude has about this guy, is that he is doing human trafficking business....)

Man wearing a bowler hat: "That's why I'm asking you. Please, I don't want to hurt this girl."

Jude: ".....Let me tell you something."

Jude: "I despise rich people like you who sit on thrones thinking that you're the safest people in the world."

Man wearing a bowler hat: "I'm trying to bargain with you."

(......I hate this)

(I don't wanna get myself killed by some lousy man who buys and sells humans....EVER!)

Frustrated, I bit the man's arm that was around my neck.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Oww!?"

The restraints loosen for a moment, and as soon as he crouches down holding his arm, I slipped away from him.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Damn you, woman!"

I heard an angry voice behind me and moved my rambling legs frantically.

Kate: "Nn."

With a thud, I bumped into something.

Jude: "Oww.....if you wanna get out of here, at least look ahead when you run."

Kate: "....Mr. Jude."

The moment I recognised the person who embraced me, I suddenly felt my strength leave my body and sink down to the ground.

(My mind is already a mess.....)

(But, I can't believe how relieved I am to be embraced by this person)

Jude: "Why are you looking like you're about to cry? You idiot."

Kate: "....Don't call me an idiot...."

Jude: "Idiot."

Even though it's an arrogant smile, I am bewildered by the fact that it's healing my heart.

Jude: "Don't do anything rash. You can sit here and tremble."

Mr. Jude leaves me there, slumped over and walks up to the man wearing a bowler hat.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Don't come closer!"

Just as the man was about to fire a bullet, something flew out of the darkness and pierced the back of his hand.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Ughh..Ahhh....."

The man screams in pain and drops his gun.

(A knife....? Where did that come from?)

When I looked around, I saw all the guards lying on the ground motionless.

Ellis: "....Sorry, I ran out of bullets, so I used a knife."

Ellis appeared suddenly, shrugged his shoulders as if making small talk.

(E-Ellis...? Were you here the entire time?)

Man wearing a bowler hat: "....I-I-I will do anything you say....Please...Please spare my life......"

Jude: "Ah, I was thinking the same thing. Good for you."

Jude: "Instead of letting you die easily, I'm giving you a life that is worse than death. I'm sure living such a hellish life will only make you beg for an easy death."

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Ha...."

Mr. Jude pokes the man's forehead with his finger.

The next moment, the men fell to the ground on his back with white eyes.

Kate: "W-What did you just...do....?"

Ellis: " 'Putting someone to sleep, by a simple touch on the forehead'....that's Jude's ability."

Ellis: ".....Miss Kate, are you alright?"

Kate: "Y-Yeah...I'm okay..."

Ellis gives me a hand and I manage to get up on my feet.

Kate: "So....you're not going to kill him?"

Ellis: " 'The objective was to destroy the organization and Jude was in charge of whether the target lives or dies'. We accepted the mission on those terms."

(Huh....)

Kate: "Wait, so this was a mission....? I thought I was kidnapped by accident. So you didn't come here just to save me?"

Jude: "I knew these people were trying to reach me."

Jude: "And if 'my woman' is wandering around unguarded, it's only natural that she will be a target, right?"

Kate: "So in other words....you made me a bait?"

Jude: "It's funny how things work out the way they were supposed to."

Mr. Jude lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke in a bored manner.

Kate: ".....That man is the worst....but you're no less."

Jude: "Thanks for the compliment."

Kate: "So then....were you also planning to let me die if the negotiations didn't work out?"

Jude: "Haa? Of course not. Ellis had that guy in his sight and you screwed it up by making a move."

Kate: "Eh.....?"

When I turned to look at Ellis.

Ellis: "But everything is fine now. Don't worry about it, I was thinking of helping you in the end."

(I see...so that's it)

(Nn...No no no no..you used me as your bait first)

(I can't think you're a nice person, just because you helped me.....!)

Ellis: "Jude, where do you want me to take this guy?"

Jude: "To the Lab."

Ellis: "Okay. I'll see you later, Miss Kate."

Ellis easily carried the man and leisurely walked out of the warehouse.

Silence fills the warehouse, and I started trembling slightly.

(.....M-My legs are shaking again.....I can barely stand up)

Jude: "Then, shall we go back to the castle, princess?"

Jude: "Also, you did very well in keeping the promise that you made to me. Good girl."

I am not sure if he is aware of my condition or not.

Mr. Jude took another puff off his cigarette and clapped his hands in a mocking manner.

Jude: "Don't you think such a good girl like you deserve a reward for keeping your promise?"

Kate: ".....R-Reward...."

This person is an arrogant, cold-hearted sadist who has no inclination to extend kindness to others.

I should have learned that well today, and yet....I am still tempted to cling to those sweet words.

Kate: "I-I can't stop shaking after all this time...and I-I don't think I can walk now...."

Kate: "Do you mind giving me a minute to calm myself down....?"

Jude: "......Haa..."

Jude: "You are a real pain in the ass."

A long fingertip reached out and poked my forehead.

(Eh....)

At that moment, my consciousness melted away.

I was sucked into a dream.

Jude lets out a single annoyed sigh and picks Kate's unconscious body.

Jude: "Tch....you owe me one for doing this manual labor."

Jude: "Now you know what happens when you make promises too easily."

............

Outside the warehouse, the white moon shines brightly on the blackened nighttime sea.

Jude stared abjectly at the white moonlight.

Jude: "....Tch."

Jude: "You really shouldn't make promises you can't keep."
