Chaz: -Simple question. How much longer do I have to be your slave? John: -You're not my slave, Chaz. You're my very appreciated assistant. Like Tonto and Robin and that skinny fellow with the fat friend. @giftober 2024 | Day 5: "Angelic"

PS: I can't believe I did such a gifset! I'm so proud on myself, you have no idea. I've always dreamed of making intricate and complex gifsets like my friends @safedistancefrombeingsmart or @elennemigo, and I think.. I think.... I did it! Going for moreeee! ✨

Calling Down the Doctor

When I ask myself what I love so much about music, I can only say that for me personally it is this idea of an infinite and increasing cycle of music that I particularly enjoy, into whose stream you can immerse yourself at any time, draw and find inspiration, only to let something better or something completely different emerge from it.

And I also like Kiss, of course.

It's not that I want to deny them being part of this divine flow of creative energy, quite the opposite. It's just that I don't think they use the opportunity to really and fully immerse themselves in this river and swim along with it, but instead they always make themselves comfortable at a convenient spot on the riverbank without getting too wet, in order to skillfully take some of the coveted liquid magic element with a long ladle from time to time, and use it to make their modest little soup, pack it in beautiful colorful soup cans, and then sell it in their colorfully decorated shop window.

Kind of like how I imagine Wile E. Coyote would handle it.

But as a friend of cartoons, soups and good traditional home cooking, I am of course delighted. And the colorful cans are also perfect for collecting. They always get me.

You can decide for yourself whether this time they've taken a small ladle from Slade's Lay It Down or the big ladle from Montrose's Shoot Us Down (1) for Calling Dr. Love's main riff.

We can exchange soup recipes at another time.

Side Note:

(1) Montrose's Shoot Us Down was only played live around '73, and otherwise a demo version of it exists, which was officially released for the first time in 2017 on a special edition.

Constantine (2005)

Constantine comes from the era of comic book film adaptation when we were just happy to get ANYTHING. This allowed writers, directors and executives to do whatever they wanted to make the stories and characters more accessible and bankable without mobs coming to their doors with pitchforks and torches. Unfortunately, this often resulted in generic, forgettable films. The less familiar you are with the Hellblazer comics, the more likely you are to appreciate this less-than-faithful take on the character. I enjoyed it just enough to give it a mild recommendation while hoping a better adaptation will someday leave this one in the dust.

In LA, cynical occultist John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is surprised to find a demon attempting to enter our world through its possessed host, rather than simply puppeteering her the way demons usually do. Meanwhile, Detective Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) is shocked when her twin sister, Isabel, commits suicide. Isabel knew this mortal sin would condemn her to Hell, which prompts Angela to suspect she was actually murdered. These strange events are somehow linked to a strange spearhead discovered in a ruined church in Mexico that possesses a man (Jesse Ramirez) while granting him near-invincibility.

With his American accent and black hair, this Constantine feels a lot more like a traditional cynical hero than the blonde from Liverpool you'll find in the pages of DC/Vertigo's comics. There are worse things your movie could do, but it doesn’t help make the story memorable. There's got a mystery that leads to a big threat, which is a good spine to build your skeleton upon. We’re introduced to several rules about the world. Turns out that God and the Devil (Peter Stormare) are competing for mankind’s souls and that neither demons nor angels can directly interfere; they only “influence” people. “Half-breed” angels and demons can walk around doing what they want, however, and when they go too far, Constantine puts them back in their place. He’s doing this to win himself a spot in Heaven. Our favorite exorcist has terminal lung cancer - that’s what you get for smoking non-stop. Maybe this case will be the one to get him his golden ticket. I dunno. Doesn’t it feel like more could be done with this? When you boil it down, Constantine isn’t much deeper than End of Days with Arnold Schwarzenegger and is that really where we want to be?

It’s the details of the world that wind up interesting us in the end. The visions of Hell we see are unique. It’s like a perpetual nuclear sandstorm ripping apart a parallel Earth, with damned souls squirming in agony below while demons prowl about. Getting there requires you to perform simple but convincing-looking rituals, which is one of the standout moments. Rachel Weisz and Keanu Reeves have some pretty good chemistry, even if it would be a cliché for her to fall for a man who didn’t even hold the elevator door open for her the first time they met. Pruitt Taylor Vince as Father Hennessy has an inventive encounter with a demon. Shia LaBeouf plays Chas Kramer, Constantine’s driver and apprentice but he’s gone for such large chunks of the movie you wonder why he was even included. Tilda Swinton has a memorable but small role as the Archangel Gabriel. At this point, I feel like I’m just going through a list of things about the movie, which anyone could do… but maybe that’s all there is to say. How does the movie make you feel? Excited while Constantine is shooting demons with his cross-shaped gun or punching them with holy brass knuckles, I guess. Intrigued when we’re piecing together the clues behind Isabel’s death, I guess. Not exactly a rousing endorsement but the film is not boring. It moves, you want to see what’s coming next and once it’s over, it’s out of your mind.   Could it be that I’m nostalgic for Constantine? I do remember seeing it when it was released on DVD. In fact, I specifically remember buying it. I went to HMV looking for V for Vendetta. This was going to mark my official transition from VHS to discs and when I got to the store, I saw they had an exclusive 2-pack that included Constantine for free. Maybe that’s what's tipping me over the scale; the fact that I didn’t have to pay anything to see this film. If you decide to check it out, stay all the way to the end of the credits for a bonus scene. (August 16, 2022)

(also fwiw chas kramer is literally only from the 2005 movie and i guess it's to really differentiate him from comics canon chas???? or something idk. possibly rights issues with THEE chas chandler? some reason, who knows. anyway chas kramer is only ever the shia version, i don't think it's ever been used in comics [aside from presumably that movie tie in])

The Unspoke Deal

by miagirl3 written for Ecto-Implosion 2023 Prompt art: Summoning Danny and John have a deal. It's a simple deal. Every month they have a meet up. Danny keeps as much control over the ghost as he can in return John keeps track of them in the human realm. That's it nothing else should be so simple. So why do feelings keep getting involved and why does the justice league suddenly seem so interested in the beings of the infinite realms. John knows one thing for sure: This is all Danny's fault.

**SAW X SPOILERS ALERT ⚠️**

*Extra warning: some uncomfortable images from Saw… proceed at your own risk** ⚠️

How I’d have survived every trap in Saw X because I’m immortal (in reality I died in the first 5 minutes).

Eye vacuum trap 🥽 👁️ : **sigh**

I can’t lie I’d not be avoiding any mutilation here… but fuck meeee just turn the dial straight up to 5 😭😭😭 I’m not saying I wouldn’t break 1 finger then bitch about it until the time is up then die irl. But after breaking 1 finger, most people would rather go straight to 5 than feel their eyeballs leave their skull. 💀

Pipe bomb trap 💣:

Not sure if this would work as Jigsaw is always watching 👀, but avoid struggling because the timer is not actively beginning, this timer must be started by something, it is triggered when the wire attached is pulled. This may buy more time to think of other solutions. Then try to cut the duct tape off your hands with the knives and use your hands to remove the pipe bombs to avoid as much injury as possible. Or wait for Jigsaw to approach and attempt to defend yourself with the knives, then wait for help?

Bone Marrow Trap 🦴:

Fuck no did John give so little time to saw off her whole damn leg! The only way I can think to get out of this is to try using the gigilo saw on the ropes holding you in place and duck out of the way to avoid decapitation. Then save the poor guy from the brain surgery trap because he had no hope 😭. With this trap, just make sure John and Amanda are distracted. Again risky… as Jigsaw is always watching.

Brain surgery trap 🧠👹:

In terms of surviving without help, if the instruments provided can cut through the skull, it may be possible to cut through part of the trap, but this would be time consuming and not foolproof. Also to avoid putting in less grey matter, could he have put part of his skull in the dish, it may have absorbed some additional enzymes attached to the skull?

Otherwise I’d hope someone else saves me I doubt it or flirt with Amanda and hope she sets me free.

Radiation trap ☢️:

Again, hope you can make Amanda take pity on you and fall in love with you like the empath she is.

Or try breaking your thumb only, as the tool provided is small enough to do so. Then do a bit of an Eric Matthews and slide your hand free. Bit less painful and should be possible in the time limit, plus avoids smashing your ankle. If the lamp moves because you’ve failed to break your ankle chain, you can run behind the lamp to avoid it or keep moving, as it’s easier to move and take cover without a broken ankle. With hands free, could use clothing add some layer of protection on your face and buy more time 🕰️

Blood boarding trap 🩸:

There won’t be an unlimited supply of blood so being altruistic and taking turns is a survival tactic. Although, if you were paired with Cecelia on this trap, this may not be the best option.

In this case, turn your head to get more opportunity to breathe? Or tilt your head up so the blood lands on your head not directly blocking airways (this would be very uncomfortable but you might survive).

Burning gas chamber 🔥💨:

First you could try to find the source of the gas and block it with clothing or items in the room or damage it. If not, just straight up killing the other player to avoid severe injury and reach the air vent is the best bet of survival, but not a Kramer approved way to survive. Is the gun cabinet big enough for a person to fit in? You could sit in there and shut the door on yourself to keep the gas out, cover and cracks in the door with clothing, it would buy more time.

Bonus round

Scar tissue trap ⛓️:

Firstly, whatinthefuckisMarkHoffmandoinghere 😍

Secondly, there’s little chance in fighting with Hoffman to escape this trap so best bet is playing along, or playing dead. ☠️ Hard to say as we never get to see Henry’s end, but that twist had everyone in the cinema shook I couldn’t speak 😭😭😭

Alright and that’s all I got!

Disclaimer: No chance would I survive a saw trap, please do not try these at home 🤣
