The neat thing about Choices books is that you can always tell whenever one is someone’s passion project vs. just a Nothing Book needed to fill the release roster.

#discourse#q neg#Originally i was gonna celebrate the general servers downfall but i do feel bad for the workers still there and for the ccs#Cause to me its very clear they do genuinely love this server and the memories behind it#No sympathy for q tho hes been given so many opportunities to make things better for his employees but he doesnt do anything#And he still tries to say its a passion project thats hes proud of when really hes just proud his name is attached to it

Hiiii I saw you say you have Notes on your Remus and Janus designs 👀👀?
Could we see/hear some tidbits?
FOR SURE !! Here's what the original doodles for their designs look like, first off, (I know you didn't ask for Virgil but I did these three at the same time)
When I drew this I had just finished an exam and had to wait another hour until I could leave the classroom, so I wrote down enough notes that I had to flip the page instead:
Virgil:
- Virgil has light brown hair that he dyes black (badly). It is essential that the dye job look like shit. It looks artificial, his roots are showing, there's patches where the color didn't take, etc etc.
- He also has blue eyes, which I decided on mostly because it makes it even more clear that his hair isn't naturally black.
- He wears earrings, but his ears aren't actually pierced — they're fake little little clip-on things.
- He wears black nail polish at all times, but it's always chipped because he gets the cheapest stuff he can get his hands on.
- His hair (especially his bangs) get very long at times because he gets too socially anxious to go to the hairdresser. Back in middle school, he used to have Janus cut them for him (Remus could have done a better job but trusting him with scissors would have been a mistake). Now he mostly cuts it off by himself — it looks about as good as his dye job.
- Virgil's purple hoodie is a leftover from Remus' fashion design endeavors that Remus thought didn't look weird enough.
Janus:
- He has naturally strawberry blonde hair. The length is very important to him — he started growing it towards the end of middle school. (He allows Remus to experiment with hairdos sometimes as long as he doesn't cut anything off. I need to draw that sometime)
- I'm not entirely settled on his eye color. I know at least one of his eyes is a very pretty brown, but I have half a mind to give him a yellow glass eye for his left side — I'm not sure it'd make any logistic sense for his situation, though
- He got his ears actually pierced when he was 16.
- He also may or may not have a forked tongue. Not sure how I'd ever be able to show that off — but if he does have one, then Remus definitely was the one to encourage him to do it.
- His fashion style was definitely influenced by being around Remus (who may have used him as a mannequin/dummy because he's small.) so much. Remus also attempted to make clothes for him, but Janus is very fancy and picky, so he doesn't wear those clothes very often (though he might accessorize with stuff Remus made for him occasionally).
Remus:
- He has naturally very dark hair. He uses temporary/surface level dyes a lot, but if he's using permanent or semi-permanent dyes, he's usually limiting himself to the grey streak — it's kind of a sample strand, since it's already bleached. He 100% copied his hairstyle from Roman's.
- He (and Roman, of course) has greenish blue eyes.
- Janus paid for him to get his ears (and eyebrows) professionally pierced because otherwise he was just going to do it himself with a sewing needle.
- He has a lot of very shitty stick-and-poke tattoos he made/makes on himself. They're almost always hidden by his outfits.
- Speaking of which, Remus makes most of his outfits costumes himself. The quality of the work may vary, but they are always way too over-the-top for casual wear, because he stands out anyway, so... in for a penny, right. (As I said in the tags of a post: he is very creative and has no shame or social anxiety at all, so he had his whole aesthetic ("overdramatic green") figured out by the time he was 13)
- He also has SH scars, but, again — they're hidden by his outfits 99% of the time. He's a slut who never shows an inch of skin
#their design go in order of intensity Virgil → Janus → Remus#virgil likes to express himself but is too chicken to do anything too extreme so he's limited to softcore emo#janus is definitely fancier than most but he wears stuff i still definitely see every day at my uni#(i see people wearing corsets regularly at my uni idk what other people's experiences are. English litt major in a non-English country...)#(for those who don't know that's a gay as fuck major)#and then Remus looks like he's in the middle of a stage production every single day. with makeup to match#OH this is somewhat of a college AU ! Roman is also there and Remus' class does costumes for Roman's occasionally#Roman does theater and Remus does visual arts (design major/fashion minor bc there was no fashion major)#Janus and Patton are philosophy majors and of course Virgil is a psychology major#and then we have Logan in biochemical ingeneering for obvious reasons.#i have so much lore sorry for rambling .#anyway they keep a lot of their original designs because it just fits them#BUT i needed to include virgil having a shitty hairdo/dye and etc because he is. SUCH a try-hard in my mind.#emo sure. but he looks wannabe emo. it's Essential. he's fake ! he wants to fit in! with the gay kids sure but he still wants to fit in!#it's very clear that his hair is dyed because it's very clear that he is a wannabe. it is so important to me.#also the tidbit about him not being able to go to the hairdresser. is ALSO SO IMPORTANT. he pretends the shitty hairstyle is intentional.#even his signature hoddie is someone else's leftovers. He Borrows. From A Lot Of Places. but he doesnt have a real identity of his own yet.#you wouldnt guess while reading these tags but im actually way more passionate avout Janus and Remus than i am about virgil#it's just that i project onto virgil so so so much .#anyway SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE AGAIN. I KEEP DOING THAT#ask#idrawgaystffs#sanders sides#lbau#drawing#traditional#rant#do i character tag this. i dont feel like feel like character tagging this#OH AND thank you so much for asking !!! as you can tell i really like talking . about them

it might be because I'm aroace and can't help but project on my favorite little pookie bears 24/7 but like....
not platonic kunidazai, just like, they're dating but they don't have sex, they don't want sex, it's not something that comes up cause they just mutually have their reasons to not want/need it.
and that's not to say they're never intimate with one another, it's just that their intimacy is different. to them, intimacy is taking naps in each others arms, no bandage's, just a blanket and each other's embrace. intimacy is Kunikida washing Dazai's hair while they sit tangled up on the floor of the tub. intimacy is kissing each other so so softly, over scars and marks and phantom pains, over bad memories and pleasant reminders. Intimacy is sharing a cup of coffee in the office. intimacy is mending each other's wounds. intimacy is skin on skin, trusting one another not to hurt, not to take, not to use. Intimacy is talking long into the night, close enough to hear the faintest of whispers, talking about life, their pasts, their fears, their aspirations.
it's all intimacy to them, they don't need sex. one doesn't need it and one doesn't want it ever again, and that's fine, they find their own ways to share that vulnerable space both crave to fill.
#I hc Kunikida is ace and Dazai has too much ptsd from ✨life events✨ and mori to ever have sex again without being put back there#and like. over time he was just really chill with that. like it sucked at first cause he craved that passion and pleasure and intimacy#but than Kunikida helped him find othwr ways and now he's jsut chill with himself and who he is#he's sure one day with enough work he could get to a place where it could be nice and Kunikida's not sex repulsed so he's always made it-#clear that if dazai wants to try and even gets to a point where he wants to do it regularly that it's fine and they can have sex#but its never been at the forefront or even the back burner for dazai. hes happy as is. its just nice knowing the door is there and unlocked#anyway#thats it thats the post#im projecting#aroace#acespec#asexual#kunikida bsd#kunikida doppo#bsd kunikida#dazai bsd#bsd dazai#dazai osamu#kunidazai#kunikidazai#knkdz#bsd#bungo stray dogs#Kunikida is so me btw#i just dont care#you want it? thats fine ill help no problem. you dont want it? equally cool we can sit on the couch and snuggle#he's just here for a good time

Something about how Raph would have the most to return to when it comes to being helpful—there’s only so much Donnie can eat, and there’s only so much Leo can physically heal before having to face the fact that most of the wounds are emotional. Raph can keep going though, the way he always has, he can keep going, he can be better this time, he can be the big brother he was supposed to be for all of them and this will never happen again never never never never
#ask#canary continuity#rottmnt#ooooh and these play into the insecurities he LEVERAGED against donnie while under the curse#raph and donnie both have really clear cut Roles in the family and this influences who they are. and a lot of the time how they interact#and raph while cursed pushed and pushed and pushed as a matter of projection#while fundamentally failing to do HIS job because of it#he didnt even look up during the protein shake prank. he kicked the closet door and passively complained later#he let mikey and leo hunt donnie for sport (he only intervened and joined the fight because leo got hurt which was the thing that broke his#self-restraint)#he told donnie he was selfish over and over and over again#and worst of all he did the most damage to him physically. he destroyed donnies passion for the only hobby he had#he used his strength against his little brothers when had SWORN he never would. never like that#and now donnie cant even hear his voice without screaming and crying#raph cant console him. he really wants to and he cant#theyre actually going to have a bit of an encounter next chapter and Ermmm (it does not go well)#theres been glimpses of how leo and mikey have been taking it but ive been brushing over raph and like. honestly hes been doing the worst#he's a shadow on the wall. he's so quiet and subdued and distant#all he wants is to make it better and it is plaguing his every waking thought. your assessment is correct on him#im not sure if CW is really going to go to the return to normalcy after the worst has passed but i assume he'd get super overprotective-#-from this point on!

The Aftermath (1982)
"What happens when you die?"
"I don't know, son. No one does."
"It's sad to die."
"No. Death isn't sad. We all have to die. What's sad is having to go on without someone you love. Just as we have to go on now."
#the aftermath#1982#video nasty#horror imagery#steve barkett#stanley livingston#post apocalyptic film#horror film#american cinema#lynne margulies#sid haig#christopher barkett#alfie martin#forrest j. ackerman#jim danforth#linda stiegler#laura anne barkett#larry latham#carole scott#nelson ackerman#john w. morgan#incredibly dumb passion project from writer‚ director and star Barkett; he spent years getting this made‚ burning through investors and#deals whilst trying to maintain the integrity of his vision (his silly‚ silly vision). to be clear‚ this is a lot of fun to watch but not#all of that fun is intentional; the back third of this movie contains a shootout so absurdly long‚ so gratuitously violent (and with a#preposterous location change from the desert to some ruined city skyscraper tops) that it beggars belief. likewise Barkett's self insertion#as the Ultimate Action Man Hero who by the end of the film comes to resemble more of a post apocalyptic christlike figure of spiritual#salvation. it's a dumb film is what I'm saying‚ but Sid Haig is there and it all looks unreasonably good and the matte paintings are weirdl#excellent (and the fx are solid too‚ model spaceships aside). ridiculous stuff but made with clear love and self belief#in such a way that it can only end up being endearing. a pleasant surprise in my deep dive into the more obscure nasties#it's been a rough ride recently but a few more brain numbing entries like this and I'll be back on board

okay look. not to gatekeep but i think if you're a newer starkid and you can't tell me 1) who julia albain is 2) what little white lie is and 3) all the names in liam's got a phone call, i don't wanna hear your complaints about what starkid chooses to produce next
#what was denise donovan's first show? who originally did their music? who was in apocalyptour? QUICKLY#i wanna be clear i have no problem with new starkids who are respectful and excited about the company#my issue is the newer ones who hate on old shows/get upset about basically anything that isnt hatchetfield related/are weird to the crew#idk starkid isnt like a show fandom. its years of college friendship and a fandom built by fans. ive been here since i was 10#ive seen quite a few newer fans get upset about cinderellas castle. one dummy on twt even argued with mariah about it#and idk it just comes off as very rude to hate on a company that GIVES US STUFF FOR FREE when you dont even know their history#newsflash!! adaptations and puppets are like. as starkid as it gets#starkid is not a product that we ask for. the gang thinks up something theyre passionate about and we enjoy#its fine to maybe not like a play concept or point out poor choices from 2009. but its NOT ok to attack the company and its crew as a whole#idk. its just very frustrating to me#just be respectful! please! the starkids r not big budget a list actors they are normal people who work for little pay for passion projects#i could probably articulate my thoughts better but whatever. just be respectful thats what this boils down to#starkid#me yapping

I wish there was a genre of fanfic (& general fiction) for like. Writing mundane things like documents that would exist within a story’s world. I yearn so badly to read academic papers written by wizards, or like a list of insurance claims in a superhero story
#this isn’t a “just write your own’’ moment to be clear#I Do write my own#the world isn’t ready for me to finish my ‘what if I was an anthropologist in the Tokyo ghoul universe and was writing a paper about#ghouls and social liminality’#passion project#ik I can write what I want to see#I just also wish u could read more of other ppls takes on this sort of thing

I LOVE your Shockbee animatic!
aww thank you,,, I've wanted to finish it but haven't found the drive to get back to it after these years. But I'm flattered that despite that and me purposely not letting ppl rb it that it was such a good reception with ppl
(link to it for ppl that don't know abt it and are confused/curious lol)
#i think i theoretically could just. never return to the project and turn on rbs#but ive had them off for so long i dont even know lol#and it was just a little bit more of the song i wanted to animate#but i havent thought abt shockbee with that kind of passion for a long time now#and i dont have as much time to animate things like that these days anyway#ask wooly ????#its funny looking back on that vid and remembering how i was anxious to make it clear#that i was only carrying over the theme of falling in love when u shouldnt from the song#and not the ermmm . infidelity love affair aspect bc that's not applicable to shockebee lol

what's this about the new ep being bad
#you can't do this to meeee im a starrr i hope all executives blow up#but if we're real there's some obvious after effects and rotoscoping being done in the first so if some of the scenes look janky#that's fine tbh. these people have already achieved something amazing and there's a clear passion behind the project#i just fear that the backlash will outway it. plus we were THIS 🤏 close to a good junji ito adaptation#my nonsense

Truly most infuriating aspect of being audhd in the workplace is interviewing someone who is clearly on various spectrums like you and being the only person who can tell and having no problems with them or their vibe and everyone else is like "wow get a load of this blowhard what a weirdo"
Like folks
I'm not gonna say it
But I'm very close
#you have a bias based in ableism and you need to work on it just because its a dude with an impressive career who likes to talk#doesnt mean hes an insufferable dick#it means he's invested in his passions and wants to make sure hes clearly understood in this interview#'oh he thinks so highly of himself hes name dropping celebrities ' or hes establishing a portfolio for you and the only way to do that#via a phone interview is by name dropping celebrities#also bro if my project won a grammy id be fuckin annoying about it#this also isnt to assume anything guy might just like to talk and be clear about his words. but like. self recognition in the other etc

This is where I currently am with my rewrite of Tales Of A Frozen Sailor. Just right at the beginning essentially. No one knows who Jesse Hudson actually is, but soon some new information is soon to come to light.
#other than myself and maybe a couple of other people maybe#I don't know that this rewrite is for anyone but myself#this story is such a passion project though.#truly as it's dirived from some of my favourite things. time travel. Titanic.#it has roots in one of my favourite movies due to the fact that many of the characters come from fanfic from one of my closest friends#I don't think that I could ever consider publishing it though because it does have that strong fanfic connection#If I could change some of the names maybe but doing that would feel like it changes the characters too much#so therefore it can never be published into an actual book as much as I love this story#tales of a frozen sailor#musing on tales of a frozen sailor#I just would love to know if anyone else likes this story nearly half as much as I do#though I'm considering that I might sneak it into my Extended Connections fic once I finish the rewrite#not that I think anyone will care for it there either#as I don't get that many comments about my writing in general#my style/voice just probably isn't for everyone#as it certainly hasn't changed in style/voice much over the years#that was never so clear as when a read out loud a little bit of Different Kind of Cinderella in comparison to The Autopsy#never had I realized how distinctive it sounds at very least to me#how even though the writing was at minimum 10 years apart in writing it was so very clearly written by me in my style/voice#it was a bit shocking but I guess not overly surprising all things considered#now I've written much more than I ever intended to in the tags here. you're a champ if you read them all

i'm starting to see why excellent fansubbing is a dying art these days. there are all these cool tools to aid in the creation of top-notch fansubs efficiently and automate the most tedious parts of the job, but the cooler the tool, the greater the computer literacy it requires to get it running, and this scales up in such a way that just installing the tools, let alone learning to utilize them to their fullest potential, can feel very daunting... like it just kind of gives the impression of being made for massive fucking geeks at a time when being a massive fucking geek meant "customizing your own operating system" and not "knowing where the file explorer is"
#you can really tell that aegisub and its tools and plugins are one massive communal passion project#which is very cool but it also feels so nitty gritty. which is ALSO very cool to be clear#like aegisub itself without any of the plugins or frills is like... pre-industrial revolution technology#where you have your simple machines and tools to do your basic tasks but automation isn't really a ~thing~#it has plugins and external tools and whatnot you can use and implement into your workflow which all come together#to form what feels like a steampunk sort of monstrosity in its elaborateness and delicacy and all-over-the-placeness#like i mentioned this before but the quickest way to do a vector drawing in aegisub is to draw a vector clip and convert it to a drawing#via a hotkey and like that's what i've been doing and like yeah i see why they never implemented just drawing vector imgs natively#in this very 'everyone has this plugin and macro configured and it works perfectly so if it ain't broke don't fix it' type of way#and also there are numerous scripts and plugins n stuff that require you to like. download other things. like other executables#and i feel like if this had ever become like a professional thing these things would have all been integrated#into aegisub the subtitle editor software program itself#like yes. i gave in. i downloaded blender so that i could use its motion tracking to make moving subtitles more easily#but now i have to figure out how to get the trim macro to work so i can export the necessary clips for working quickly#and now THAT'S been giving me problems lately but i also want to know so badly how to do it this way#also having to configure like 95+% of hotkeys myself is like kind of ass tbh but i respect the degrees of freedom it allows#for letting people get into their own workflow and stuff#also just bc tbh doing this makes me feel like i'm making an artisinal product. you know what i'm saying#花話#i loooove making things and i looooove making them ultra high quality too... not bc i'm a perfectionist but bc i simply enjoy attn to detail
