#I had to remake this because I deleted the original

[weaponizedmoth]

No NSFW anything. I have some minors following me and I use Twitch rules (incredible gore is fine, but 1 naked lady and it's jail for all of us.).

Most of my requests consist in fanart. I mostly draw fanart of what I already like. You can theoretically request anything, even OCs, I'm feeling generous. If you do request OC art, though, you have to give a thorough description of said OC and be real ok when I fuck it up. You could also send a pic, that helps.

Don't request anything on my DMs. All questions must be asked via the ask box. I reserve my DMs for comms or mutuals messaging me.

I wont draw: Anime anything unless it's Death Note (and yes I'm counting Pokemon and Digimon), Marvel and Disney anything, Miraculous Ladybug, Digital Circus stuff (don't know it), Hazbin Hotel and cia (don't watch it). I also don't watch Legend of Korra, or any Nickelodeon other than Invader Zim and maybe Fairly OddParents or Jimmy Neutron. Try a fandom and I'll let you know if I draw it. I don’t draw animals. I don't draw likenesses or real people.

Complicated requests are off the table. If it's more than one paragraph long, it's too complicated. I can say no to requests. I'm not getting paid for this, be nice, etc, you know the drill.

If I didn't answer your ask, it's likely I took your request. Be patient, yay!

These are more sketched than my usual art. Simple, again.

I will not draw Felix Kranken playing Crazy Taxi.

Yes, you can requests Venture Bros stuff.

Not for commercial art purposes. Don't put it in a shirt to sell, I have all the rights to the work, all of that good stuff.

Here's the tag with stuff I already did.

List of fandoms I'm usually open to: Venture Bros, Walten Files, FNAF, IWTV, Phantom of the Opera, Little Shop of Horrors, Muppets, Invader Zim, Horror Movie stuff (try me, I've watched more than 260 of these things and made a video on it, though it's nowhere near my sister's impressive 400+ count. The GOAT of watching horror films. The James A. Janice of the state of São Paulo. Usual suspects would be Sundown, Saw, Evil Dead, Yellowjackets (not a movie, but don't be like that), Reanimator, etc). I'll also do Tim Burton characters, Beetlejuice anything. Anyway, try me, etc.

I can't find that post I made of the Steamboat Willie public domain predictions from a few days before the year started but one of them was that someone would make a "blood and honey" out of this (and have just the same amount of cultural impact) and we're barely 2 days in and

(Jeff Goldblum voice) I hate being right all the time

Helianthea's Super Bland Comic Eyes Update

It took more time than I thought to update my most favourite eyes for the infants patch because I had to remake the packages from scratch since my non-defaults stopped working not only on babies, but also on toddlers and children. I've tested them in my game, everything seems working fine, but if you encounter any issues please let me know.

I've rearranged the swatches order for the non-defaults, because I think it's easier to navigate the eyes tab when defaults come first, then everything else. If you use non-defaults, you'll have to reapply the correct eye swatches for your sims manually. Sorry about that. I've also updated the black eye swatches by teanmoon, since it's a recolour of SBCE and I use them too.

Make sure to delete the old files, they are obsolete!

There’s no sclera, the texture is the same, I didn’t change anything and if you want to see all the swatches, look here (the original downloads):

Defaults + Extra Natural Colours (super bland comic eyes (default replacements + non defaults)

More Unnatural Colours (Super FANCY bland comic eyes (non defaults)

More Natural Colours (MORE super bland comic eyes (non-default)

Bland Black Eyes by @teanmoon

You don’t need to have them all in your game to work properly, if you want only the defaults, just put ‘Joliebean_Helianthea_DefaultEyes‘ file in your Mods folder and you can delete the rest files.

Random Evil Dead Fun Facts!

Because I'm hyperfixated on it :P

Originally, Ash was supposed to lose an eye in Army of Darkness, but this was scrapped.

Currently Evil Dead (2013) has the most fake blood used in a film, with 50,000 gallons being used. This isn't that suprising considering that during the final 10 minutes of the film, it is raining blood non-stop.

Freddy Krueger's glove is in the workshed in Evil Dead 2. This is a reference to how in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Nancy watched The Evil Dead. Ironically, that was a nod to how Wes Craven's "The Hills have Eyes" poster was in The Evil Dead. That in turn was a nod to how in The Hills have Eyes a torn Jaws poster is seen on the walls. Very confusing easter egg.

Ironically, Ash actually does say the correct words during the Necronomicon scene in Army of Darkness, but it's hard to hear due to Bruce Campbell coughing his way through it, which sounds like something Ash would do honestly.

Speaking of that scene in Army of Darkness, it is actually established that Ash isn't good at remembering phrases, shown by the scene in The Evil Dead, where Ash tries to recite a greek quote but fucks it up.

Evil Dead Rise confirms that the original trilogy takes place in the same universe as the remake and Evil Dead Rise. For one, they confirm there are three volumes of the Necronomicon, being the ones seen in Army of Darkness. The first Necronomicon, Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, was found by Prof. Knowby and read by Ash and his friends. The second book, Naturom Demonto, is the one Mia found in her family cabin and the final one, also named Naturom Demonto, is the one locked in the bank vault in Evil Dead Rise.

Each deadite in Evil Dead Rise has different eyes referencing the older ones. Ellie has unique silver eyes, Bridget and the neighbours have golden yellow eyes (like in the 2013 film) and Danny has pupilless white eyes (like in the original trilogy.)

The character names in Evil Dead (2013) start with letters that spell the word "DEMON" (David, Eric, Mia, Olivia and Natalie.)

Similarly, the building in Evil Dead Rise, the Monde, is an anagram for Demon as well.

A reocurring theme in the Evil Dead films, is a sister getting possessed and tormenting their sibling. This is shown with Cheryl and her brother Ash, Mia and her brother David, Ellie and her sister Beth and Bridget and her siblings Danny and Kassie.

All the characters in Evil Dead Rise are named after actors from the Evil Dead films, which I elaborate on here.

Originally Army of Darkness was named "Medieval Dead."

The original ending of Army of Darkness showed Ash waking up in a post-apocolyptic future, but it was changed to the more optimistic ending. Despite both Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell preferring the original ending, the redone ending was used to continue the story with Ash VS Evil Dead.

The original ending was also supposed to lead into Evil Dead 4, where Ash would've fought deadites in the future with robots and other futuristic tropes, but because the ending was changed this never happened. Ironically, the same thing happened to Ash VS Evil Dead, when Season 3 ended on a cliffhanger so that the next season could be in the post-apocalyptic future, but this too was cancelled.

The German version of Army of Darkness incorporates both endings. It starts with the deleted ending, where Ash incorrectly takes 7 drops instead of 6, but as he sleeps it cuts to black and says Ash began dreaming over the centuries. Then it cuts to the regular ending where Ash is in the supermarket and is hailed as a hero before cutting back to him waking up in the post-apocalyptic future. Ironically this is my favourite ending, but it's not-canon.

Evil Dead (2013) had a bunch of different endings before settling on the, supposedly, canon one. One ending had Mia simply leave and the film ends, another had her go to leave before being jumped by a demon (like in The Evil Dead's ending), another had her collapse on the road and get rescued only to reveal she was still possessed and another had her go to leave but start floating before she exploded. The canon one is likely the theatrical ending where she simply walks away, and since we never see Mia again we have nothing to confirm or deny this.

The Abomination from Evil Dead (2013) is inspired by the poster of The Evil Dead, which depicts a woman being dragged into a grave. The Abomination even does the same pose when it rises.

Speaking of The Evil Dead posters, the promo images for The Evil Dead, showed Bruce Campbell and Bridget Hoffman being attacked by a skeleton prop, and defending themselves with a chainsaw. Despite being in all the promotional images and being on the literal cover, Bridget Hoffman was not in the film, though it's likely she is supposed to be a stand-in for Linda. She also played a cameo role as a sword fighter in Army of Darkness, and the voice of the Lori doll in Ash VS Evil Dead.

In The Evil Dead originally it was written that the characters would be smoking weed whilst listening to the tapes, perhaps as a way to explain why they would willingly play the tape, and as a way to rationalise the characters dumb decisions for the rest of the film. This however, was scrapped when the actors did smoke weed for the shot, but got too high and became uncontrollable.

The opening shot of The Evil Dead was filmed by Sam Raimi who stood on a boat, whilst Bruce Campbell pushed him along.

One of the demon passages in The Evil Dead translates to "Sam and Rob are the hikers on the road" a reference to the fact that the two hitchhikers at the start of the film are literally Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert.

During The Evil Dead, a cameraman slipped and dropped his camera onto Bruce Campbell's face, which caused several of his teeth to fall out.

Apparently during filming for Evil Dead 2, after one of the slapstick scenes Bruce Campbell heard somebody making funny noises above him and thought they were making fun of his performance, only for it to turn out that guy got electrocuted. I say apparently because even though Campbell said this himself, he could've been kidding.

Originally the idea with Evil Dead (2013) was that it would get a sequel, similar to Evil Dead 2 but with Mia, and then Ash's story would get a sequel with Army of Darkness 2, and then a third sequel would be made that would have Mia and Ash's stories merge and have the two characters meet, explaining the random after-credits scene in 2013. For some reason they never made the sequel to Evil Dead (2013) and the sequel to Army of Darkness was scrapped for Ash VS Evil Dead instead. The 2013 sequel was replaced with Evil Dead Rise, and Bruce Campbell has since retired as Ash in live-action.

In Japan, Army of Darkness is called "Captain Supermarket" probably being in reference to how Ash works in retail.

So far Evil Dead Rise is the only Evil Dead film without Ash's yellow delta, though apparently the chainsaw used by Beth is the same exact colour as the delta, being a double-reference.

Speaking of the delta, Ash's car appears in Evil Dead (2013), sitting abandoned in front of the cabin. It is most likely just an easter egg and has no lore implications.

Mia and David are half-siblings with different fathers. Originally it was intended for Mia to be Ash's daughter, but this was changed by Raimi. Ironically Ash did end up getting a daughter in the TV show.

Speaking of, Mia was supposed to appear in Ash VS Evil Dead, but it’s likely she wouldn’t have fit since her movie and experience was way darker than Ash’s, and she wouldn’t fit the tone.

The canonical reason Evil Dead (2013) is so similar to The Evil Dead is because the Necronomicon can cause history to repeat itself and likely lured the 5 friends to the cabin (which could also explain why some of the randoms are even here). This is why the 5 characters play very similar roles to the original film, Eric is Scotty, Natalie is Linda, Olivia is Shelly, and David is Ash whilst Mia is Cheryl. The reason Mia survives instead of David, and becomes more like Ash in the finale is likely that when David saved Mia, which Ash failed to do with Cheryl, the Necronomicon decided David should die and Mia should take Ash's role instead. It's also possible that David took the role of Annie in the finale, with him helping before being killed last second, but this is a bit of a stretch.

Bruce Campbell has two cameos in Evil Dead Rise. First is his voice being heard on the first tape Danny plays, where he plays a priest yelling “It’s called the Book of the Dead for a reason!” The second is simply the biting noises when Ellie bites Gabriel’s eye out, being Bruce Campbell furiously biting an apple.

Lee Cronin (Writer/Director of Evil Dead Rise) stated that Bruce Campbell’s cameo was intended to actually be Ash Williams himself. His reasoning was that Ash has found himself in the wrong time period a lot, and it would make sense for a time-displaced Ash to try and get rid of the Necronomicon in the past, before shit hits the fan.

Chet Kaminski was invited by Ash to go with them to the cabin. He chose not to come because Cheryl was also going and he didn’t want Ash to find out he was dating his sister as he feared it would end their friendship. This ultimately ended up saving his life.

In the Evil Dead films, the only characters to be possessed after they died were Scotty, Eric, David, Danny and the neighbours (Evil Dead Rise).

Shelly is never mentioned ever again after The Evil Dead. Scotty is mentioned once, in Ash VS Evil Dead.

Whilst shooting the recap scenes in Evil Dead 2, originally it was intended to have The Evil Dead be more closely followed, with Scotty, Cheryl and Shelly being there with Ash and not just Linda. Sam Raimi himself was going to play Scotty, but it was scrapped in favour of it being only Linda. It’s this recap that led to many fans and viewers being confused and assuming Evil Dead 2 was a retcon or remake when it was not. They couldn’t simply use footage from The Evil Dead due to licensing issues.

Current Plans + Musings

I don't plan on playing Exedra to the degree I did for Magia Record, or playing it at all. Because of that, I won't be taking an active role in the community and archiving anything for it. Of course, if Exedra has like amazing gameplay and stories then this is all subject to change, but for now I think I'm done with phone games.

The two youtube channels will stay up and I'll check em periodically to make sure there aren't copyright strikes against the content. I've saved all my raw files, especially for the battle animations, so I can remake them in the future if the music ever becomes a problem for some reason.

Google Drive will stay up until Google rots away. I haven't recorded footage in a long time (as in stories, I do for the character doppels and such), but I'll upload things if they're sent to me.

Magia Union Translations still plans on translating things and making videos, especially leading up to the end, but also for after the game is over for whatever wasn't made in time. I'm not sure what form this will take in the future-- if it'll be manual captions added to the videos or not, but I know it WILL happen.

As for this blog, I'm not going to delete it or anything. However I'm going to be taking a step back. I'd like to say that I'll do liveblogs but I mean... *gestures at blog* I've been saying that for years and the only one I really did successfully was the Oriko one lmao. Ahhh oh well.

I'll have more words later, but it was really fun to be part of a fandom experience like this. I'm excited to work on my own original story projects though and quiet down a bit.

...

When I started this blog, I never expected it to have people actually read it. Or look at it. I just wanted a place to gush about how much fun I was having. I didn't even want to tag the posts with "Magia Record" at first because I was terrified people would be mean at me, haha.

But I'm glad I did. I made so many good friends through this game. I'm glad it existed. And it made me happy to have a place where people cared about what I had to say. Some folks actually got their news from here, can you imagine that? They had notifications turned on for this blog. My god.

Anyways, I'm going to be here for the next two months, and tomorrow I'll start reblogging fan projects and initiatives, plus general news. Maybe this blog will turn into a dumping site for art and fanfic reblogs, who knows. I might watch the remaining stuff and add various thoughts here and there.

Otherwise, you can find me on my main blog @malignmuffin, which only reblogs stuff (I don't talk much if at all there). I have another tumblr blog for my comic, but I think I'll reshare the name once I actually have content you can look at on it. It's pretty bare bones for the moment.

Actually it'll be funny if the end of this game is what makes me finally work on it again. I was in the process of working on it when NA came out, and it totally derailed me. Stopped writing, drawing, just focused on this silly little phone game. Now it's like those five years have gone by and I'm going back to where I started, except I think my lil comic is going to be a bit better than it was before. If I actually make it, that is.

If I ever do actually make my comic and start posting it, I'll be sure to update y'all here. hah

Anyways, thanks for being on this wild ride with me. The memories have been great, and I'm glad I had this experience, even if it had to end.

[kyomaakuma7]

After a very long break I’ve come to finally say my share. For those who want to know in more depth how I feel about the full situation I am writing it down below.

Thank you for everyone who sent kind messages and comforting words and thank you most to my good friend @thisanimatedphantom and Kou who supported me through these hard times.

My statement on the Situation

When I started in Inky Mystery, I never thought that it would  get me to where I am today with the friends that I have now.  When I was first introduced to it, and reading it I was immediately entranced into the story and wanted nothing more but to illustrate it since I had already planned to remake the original. Seeing such a well-crafted story I knew that this would be the story that I would illustrate. (And TAP knows how much work and behind the scene illustrating I’ve been doing from character turnarounds, layout design, alphabet style, and etc.)

Soon I made the first blog and received overwhelming support which I had not originally imagined would come with making my first post, and to that I am grateful. Soon I befriended the author of InkyMystery as our friendship grew, so did the attention that I received with the comics that I was illustrating for them. Unfortunately deleted against my wishes, and after trying to get it back to no avail I created a new blog where I had to restart from the beginning. This process was not easy and for those who know me, I was completely devastated by the fact that I had lost that account. After making my new account with the support of TAP I started my journey again.

Unfortunately with the positive attention comes negative attention. Soon the posts started to gain traction again, and people started to come under the assumption that I was TheGreatRouge making their come back.  What people failed to acknowledge and do was to do further research on was whether or not I actually was. As you can assume I am not them. In fact, I do not like TheGreatRouge. Their content was some thing that I consumed in great mass when I was younger, but soon realized that a lot of the things that they made were toxic and I distanced myself from that. Since then, I have gained certain opinions from on this creator. Nonetheless, I do not find it acceptable that people are taking this approach, even if they do think that I am them.

The words that were said to me in my inbox, comments, and direct messages are not things that I will repeat here. What you should know is that a lot of these things were pertaining to me being a disgusting vile human who should take my own life. As someone who struggles with depression, this was a personal hit to home and it cause my mental health to decline drastically. And I spent days going through and deleting these.

At first, I did not speak out on the issue and distance myself from my friends until eventually I came back and told them what was happening. TAP felt for me and as you may know when they made a post about it which I appreciate greatly along with comforting me and encouraging my break.

I took a long break from working on the comic, along with interacting with the community which worried a lot of people, but it was necessary for me to do since it was harming me so much. I am officially coming back and I will be more active on this account since I don’t have to follow it as a mainly Inky Mystery account.

My final statement on the situation is that even though I am not TheGreatRouge under no circumstances is it acceptable to tell somebody to take their own life or attack somebody on social media just because your beliefs do not align with theirs. No matter how wrong it is, it is not acceptable. If you think that doing those things are OK then you’re not welcome in my space. Please leave.

Thank you and I hope to continue doing this since I love it so much <3

-Sincerely, KyomaAkuma

Block By Block: The Amulet ⚔️🛡️

For @blockbyblockseries

(MCSM Remake by WazzyWorks)

This fan-made project is made by Wazzy who rewrites and was able to construct a new story for this game in the form of an animated series and has a lot of help with voice actors, animators, artists, builders, writers, etc. for MCSM fans and newcomers to experience a new story of the Heroes’ journey. This is a remake of MCSM that will be fully-animated and a completely different story from the game.

“Block By Block: The Amulet” is a reimagining of the MCSM game developed by Telltale Games. They also add a lot of newer things that Mojang update for Minecraft like new creatures, blocks, biomes, etc. The axolotes, the Phantoms, the Warden, the amethyst, and Lush Caves did not appear in MCSM since it came out on October 13, 2015.

So as I said before, the remake is going to be completely different from the original game along with the plot, the characters, the locations, and everything. Go subscribe to his channel and watch the trailer if you’re interested to watch it when it releases. Follow @blockbyblockseries to not miss new updates and announcements to see more.

I also wanted to mention that Wazzy and his team are NOT affiliated, nor working with TellTale games or Mojang to bring MCSM games back and make Season 3. Like I said, this is a fan-made project. They had to change the title, the characters’ outfits, add new mobs, biomes, other new things from Minecraft updates, and rewrite the story completely different from the game to avoid copyrights.

The reason why they will not use “Minecraft Story Mode” as the title is because MCSM is owned by Mojang (even though they probably don’t care about it and are not planning to revive it in the future). And it could potentially get them sued, deleted, or anything bad like that might happen to his channel, which I hope that doesn’t! Wazzy and his team work really hard and put a lot of love into creating something amazing for a fan-made MCSM project. I would be really upset if something bad ever happens to their project.

Wazzy, if you’re reading this, I want to let you know that you are awesome and talented! Your team (like the voice actors, animators, artists, and builders) also did an amazing job for this project too! You really brought my childhood back and reminded me of why I love MCSM so much, which I’m really happy about.

It brings me joy to revisit my childhood and see the familiar characters that we know and love. It’s also nice that MCSM is still remembered and fans really love this fan-made project, and are also excited as I am to watch the remake. And your animation skills have improved well and it looks incredible. Outstanding too,

Despite so many flaws MCSM games have, it still holds dear to my heart. The official trailer you released is incredible and made me speechless! The animation, the backgrounds, the lighting, and everything in the trailer looks so COOL! This is a lot more epic than I imagined, and also breathtaking. Knowing how determined and passionate you were with your project, you did a fantastic job to make something awesome!

Anyway, I’m so excited to watch Block By Block: The Amulet when it releases. I hope you and the team will still be able to continue the MCSM remake. It might not be perfect, but I know it will be great and worth the wait. Keep being awesome and have a wonderful day. And I hope you like the fanart I drew. 😊💖✨🌼🌸

[strayheartless]

You wanna know why I really think Roxas is so Cloud Strife coded?

It’s because only these two idiots could watch someone die and only able to remind them that they had dinner plans. Don’t believe me?

358/2 days:

Xion: *is activly dying and being deleted from living memory*

Roxas: Xion! Who will I have ice-cream with!

Final fantasy VII Remake:

Jessie: *actively dying*

Cloud: You owe me a pizza!

Also, you know, there the whole:

Spiky Blonde hair blue eyes combo

The not knowing who they really are and having a bit of a brake down when they find out their whole existence is a lie.

The random bouts of unconsciousness.

The broody silence broken by silly comments.

The best friend/ mentor figure with spiked hair.

The girl he wants to protect but ultimately fails to.

The all black in their depression era.

The not knowing what makes them happy/ real.

THE GUILT

Having someone else’s memories

Not thinking anyone would miss them.

Tormented by silver haired superior in a black coat who’s biggest dream is to gain back what he’s yearned for his entire existence and summons a big space rock to do so.

Also that the world that never was looks stupidly like upper midgar sector 1.

That one red haired character voiced by Quentin Flynn who keeps trying to take him places he doesn’t want to be!

The girl with mysterious powers who knows everything that they become extremely fond of/fall in love with decpite the lingering presence of dark haired “childhood best friend” type friend they are ALSO possibly extremely fond of/ in love with.

The spikey haired ray of sunshine who places an impossible legacy on their shoulders, though they can’t really remember it’s been placed on them.

Incorrect memories of a hometown that doesn’t exist.

Sitting in high places

Falling off of said high places

Being made for a specific purpose.

Using a weapon that was passed down to them from the original owner, to the one who stepped up to wield the weapon/ shoulder the burden of destiny, then to him.

The OTHER silver haired asshole who is ruining his life because “destiny depends on it”.

Duel wielding abilities.

Constantly running around town Fixing everyone else’s problems for pocket money.

Finally being his own person and then the guy he was sharing a head space with fucks off and makes his life difficult AGAIN!

There’s likely more but that’s all I can think of for now. Namora ain’t slick. These boys are the same person. Only difference is one’s voiced by Jesse McCartney and the other is voiced by Cody Christian.

There’s an argument to be made that if you swapped their voice actor nobody would really notice all that much…

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

zutarians and their cope kinda remind me of bbrae fans

You're right and you should say it. It's crazy how simmilar they are.

The writers of Teen Titans repeatedly said "We toyed with a few ideas, but Robin and Starfire was the one ship we were set on being endgame" yet these fuckers insist they meant "Robin and Starfire AS WELL AS BEAST BOY AND RAVEN."

The writers of Avatar repeatedly said "Kataang was always the heart of the show", yet zutarians keep saying shit like "Zuko was originally Katara's love interest!"

BBrae fans constantly talk about Raven disliking Terra, Beast Boys actual love interest, "due to both of them liking the same guy", but Raven didn't dislike Terra at all, she just didn't immediately trust her - and for good reason, because Terra was working with the villain, and she even explicitly pointed out that Raven was so furious at her after that revelation because she DID think of Terra as a friend.

Zutara fans insist all the drama with Zuko was because "he posed a threat to Kataang" when anyone who isn't delusional can see that it was about his former role as a villain, and the character that was originally gonna be Aang's rival for Katara's affection was TOPH, who was going to be a boy.

Raven was constantly annoyed at Beast Boy and he repeatedly said he found her creepy? Opposites attract! Even when they don't! CLEARLY the writers are just using this innitial clash in personalities to set up a romance - the fact that they NEVER move past that "innitial" clash is a detail!

Katara was mad at Zuko for wanting to help his dad commit genocide and he hated her on the basis of her resisting said genocide? No, silly, can't you see it's just sexual tension? Why else would a boy and a girl "not get along"? They want to kiss!

BBrae fans continued acting like the ship would have totally been endgame in the original show instead of just in comics or the shitty remake that was Teen Titans Go!, "if only the planned sixth season had not been canceled."

But there was no planned sixth season. The show was supposed to end in season four, but it got a bonus fifth season that was originally planned to be a bit longer, but then end up with the same number of episodes as the others - and the only plot that was "cut" was the return of the main villain, Slade. The movie "Trouble In Tokyo" was made specifically to resolve the romantic plotline of Starfire and Robin, since they couldn't do it on the actual show... yet the writers didn't make Raven and Beast Boy get together despite knowing they'd likely never have another chance at it. Almost like they never WANTED to do that in the first place!

Zutarians constantly about how "There was totally a deleted scene in the finale with Iroh saying Katara was perfect for Zuko" and how Aaron Ehasz supposedly confirmed Kataang being endgame was a last minute change, and that Zutara was supposed to happen in the "planned, but scrapped fourth season."

But there was no "planned" fourth season. Bryke were offered a bonus season, but rejected it almost right away. The interview with Ehasz was fake and so were the rumors about the "deleted" scene with Iroh. It just never existed.

Hell, even a ship I like had some of the fans try to pull that shit. A ton of Robin X Raven fans swear there was a deleted kiss scene in the season four finale (which again, was originally going to be the series finale) - like Robin and Starfire didn't almost get together in the previous episode (and probably were made an item in original version, before the show got a bonus season), and weren't made endgame on the actual conclusion of the show.

Some shippers do that in the hopes that sequels/reboots end up pandering to them - and in the case of Beast Boy and Raven it "worked", but it was shit, because it was in a bad show so clearly it wasn't worth it. Zutarians meanwhile got nothing. Nada. Zilch. No zutara in the comics, in Korra, and apparently not even in the Netflix version.

And at least there ARE moments between BB and Raven that even I call blatant ship tease, and there's five seasons worth of content of them being "the friends that don't get along but care about each other" aka having an actual dynamic that people were meant to get attached to. Zuko and Katara's "dynamic" for two and a half seasons consisted on nothing but taunts in battle, Zuko being an asshole/a legit threat to the heroes' safety and thus being hated by all of them for it. Only in the second half of the third season did they have any meaningful interactions AND half of these were still negative.

I can talk a lot of shit about BBrae fans, but I can never say that Beast Boy and Raven ever lashed out when the other saved them because there was just that much resentment there. Or that the times Raven got a bit too aggressive towards him werent pure slapstick and that she did genuinely want to hurt him, nor that he ever got so mad at her for it that he tried to leave her behind to die. Or that Raven ever hired a hitman on him. Or that Beast Boy full on said he pictured her face when he tried to imagine "the face of the enemy." Or that he ever looked Raven straight in the face and threatened to murder her if she ever did anything against his actual love interest.

That's a level of "Take the L already, Jesus" that BBrae never reached, or even got close to, and I'm surprised Zutarians managed to make people not talk about the fact that they very much did.

"Zutara sexual tension" is literally just two people legit wanting to murder each other, saying as much, actively working towards it, and the shippers sill being like "They don't mean it though."

They do, girl. They very much do. Grab a body bag.

[iwriteasfotini]

So, I've been thinking about switching to posting my works in one go (I'm already going to do it for the war years, no question)... To clarify, they are still spread out over the coming year... But instead of posting one chapter per day, they would post on their scheduled day to completion. Then there would be a break before the next work posted in a single day.

This was my original plan before I ever started posting, but the works take SO much effort to write and edit... It made me want to reward myself by spreading out posting. I compromised and scheduled posting to happen daily, which is RARE in the fandom. But I'm wondering if it's really worth it. Because daily posting isn't really as fun as I imagined it would be. ;-) If my work is already complete, why not just post it all at once?

My reserves are that editing takes a lot of work AND I'm unsure if there is a benefit to posting daily on Ao3, like does it keep your work closer to the top of a list or something??? I'll probably still be doing minor editing to my work once it posts. I do this already... but things like a typo here and there (which still happens even when I post daily) would probably be more likely... is it worth it?

I've heard things like people like to download works to read them, which either only works for completed works or doesn't work great for WIPs because you are essentially missing content. I've never read this way because I like to comment, so IDK the specifics.

Posting at once doesn't allow you to subscribe and get those daily reminders to read. Some people like this. I am royally unconcerned about gaining subscribers to my works. They already post super fast relative to once or twice a week posting, and they will be waiting on Ao3 for those who are interested.

I'm thinking about posting the work at once, but promoting it on tumblr one day at a time, so there is still a daily component but it doesn't involve publishing on Ao3...

Thank you for reading my brain dump about this. I know it is ultimately my choice and it doesn't matter what other people think. But being newer to the fandom, I lack a lot of perspective and am always happy to listen! If you have thoughts or comments, please share. I will read them and respond to you.

Also I messed up my first go at this post and had to delete and remake it!

If anyone (@keepmycandleburning @shadowjinx2906 @everythingsbetterunderthestars) wants to reblog this to try and gain more opinions I'd appreciate it!

Why the Time Bandits remake makes me feel an angry despair (1)

I announced it before: I am mounting my high horses for this matter.

"Time Bandits" is a children fantasy movie by Terry Gilliam, released in 1981. It is one of those "almost Monty-Python-movies" thanks to two other Monty Python actors joining Gilliam's project: John Cleese, playing Robin Hood, and Michael Palin playing a poor guy who keeps being reincarnated throughout history and always has the worst love life. This movie is part of the "Imagination Trilogy" of Gilliam, meant to represent the "childhood imagination" - alongside the dark movie "Brazil", for "adult imagination", and Gilliam's adaptation of the Adventures of the Baron Münchausen, for "old man imagination".

I love Time Bandits. It isn't just that I love, I adore it. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and it was such a huge part of my childhood it literaly shaped my imagination in many, many ways. It is still to this day one of my favorite movies, with such a unique feeling I couldn't find anywhere else but in other Gilliam-related or Python-related movies.

It is one of these rare things where I can say I am really a huge fan. I bought the Criterion Collection DVD, I bought the official script-book, I went online to find alternate versions of the scripts which contained deleted scenes NOT in the official script-book...

I even chose this movie as the subject of my presentation for my high school diploma, doing a full analysis of it that gave me a very good grade. I am really in love with this piece.

NOW if you haven't heard about it, a trailer was released for an Apple + series of (10 episodes I think?). "2024 Time Bandits". A remake by Taika Waititi (among others but he is the main guy behind this).

I had heard of this project a long time ago because Waititi's desire to do something Time Bandits related has been around since his glory days with "What we do in the shadows". He kept speaking about how much he loved Time Bandits and how he wanted to do something related to it.

... I never realized he meant doing a remake a it. Time Bandits has so much potential for sequels or prequels or alternate takes or whatever cinematic terminology you have.

Now, that being said, I don't mind a remake. Waititi has proven to have good ideas and cool projects, and he seemed to really be a fan of the original - plus it was a project he had been dragging for quite some times, so I had still some interests and hopes...

... and then the trailer came out. And I saw it. And...

... You know it will be the first time in my life I will turn into one of those angry Internet ranters mad about a remake of their favorite thing. Never in my life before I was involved on a personal level with disliking a remake but OH BOY here I am.

There are so many things BAD with this trailer. Not wrong. BAD. I don't dislike all about the trailer... But I dislike most of it, and I don't just "dislike" it as in "Oh yeah, they could have done better", no, we are talking about a "I DESPISE this".

Honestly it looks like the people behind this series considered everything that made Time Bandits unique and powerful and cool and weird... and decided to remove it to make it bland, flat and... a sort of flavorless, mass-marketable Americanized modern vaguely super-hero like movie (did Waititi's experience on the Thor movies screwed his imagination THAT badly?)

I literaly do not understand how someone so hellbent and so dedicated to Time Bandits could create a product that looks like was designed by people who only vaguely heard of the original movie's plot. Because the people who made this series clearly did NOT understood the heart, soul or goal or the movie.

I heard something about Terry Gilliam being hired as an executive producer, coming on the set for a planned three months, but leaving abruptly after only three days and never returning. And people concluded that it was because he was pissed off. Seeing the trailer, I am inclined to believe he was.

RGBFVERSE - FLAnimal/LF!BF

Info sheet for my take on FLAnimal for RGBFVerse! He’s owned by both ItoSaihara and toonishtragedy, all credit for both him and his lore goes to them. :> I may add or alter things in the future. Info about him under the cut!

RGBFVerse Name: FLAnimal

Initials/Source Name Prefix!Character: LF!BF (Lost Files BF. not fully accurate, but since he needs one. yk.)

Full Name: FLAnimal

Pronouns: He/Him

Birthday: Unknown

Age: 20

Gender: Transgender Male

Sexuality: Pansexual

Species: FLA File

Ethnicity: …not quite sure he has one of those?

Weight: Find out!!! I’m not good at calculating this.

Height: 15'

Likes: Music, birthdays, his friends, sunlight, rain, socializing, life, soft items

Dislikes: Others suffering, boredom, oppression of any kind

Personality: Despite the cards he’s been dealt by the universe and treatment he’s faced in the past, FLAnimal is nothing but a gentle, good hearted optimist. Finally getting the chance to live the life he was never allowed to have, he does so with a smile on his face and a desire to live it to the fullest. He can be a little bit gullible, but he’s not dumb by any means. Can get along with just about anyone as long as they don’t try to harm him, but he would still like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Backstory: In FNF initially being made, FLAnimal was the original attempt at a BF FLA. After the file itself was corrupted, he was ultimately thrown aside and deleted in favor of remaking the FLA entirely. In surviving this corruption and his deletion, his body parts don’t properly stick together, resulting in him experiencing glitching, constant pain, and tremors because of it. 

In what he thought were his last moments, he encountered another BF. Knowing he had little time left, all he wanted was one last song and a chance to fulfill the role he was meant to after everything that he’d gone through. After that moment of connection, FLAnimal died.

Only to wake up alive once again in a world that wasn’t his own.

art i made of him <3

and his og sprite!!!

Two 4t2 KarieAmel conversions reuploaded

Reuploading these because @karieamel and I had a slight misunderstanding regarding TOU so I deleted the post a few days ago but we've since cleared it up. The primary issue was my game doesn't even look like it's sims 2 anymore with the clay hair and reshade and such.

I wish I could remember what all I said on the original post. But these were patreon conversion requests from Taylor/@criminalmiik. They're AM but enabled for EM.

Uh, yeah. 🤷‍♀️ Whatcha gonna do? I might remake a proper post later but I'm feeling really extra tired today.

✨ Download on Patreon (FREE)

But please consider becoming a patron if you want to show me support or make requests! ❤️🙏 Any support is extremely appreciated and really helps me out!

[xandra-is-batshit-insane]

made a Scarlett and The Shakers iceberg! ^_^ what do y'all think? @ace-of-hearts-sats @ace-of-spades-sats3 @ace-of-diamonds-sats @ace-of-clubs-sats

Points explained:

Level 1!

Reason for "and The Shakers": Scarlett said there was already a band named Da Shakerzz >_< so she added her name on front of it and spell it correctly to avoid being confused with that band.

Scarlett and Rudy are dating: Everyone knows that, no need to explain!

Clover is the youngest of the group: This is also a pretty known fact, she's just 19, while the others are all 21 or older

Everyone has worked for Papa Louie atleast once: As simple as that. Scarlett and Rudy worked at the Cheeseria, Marty at the Burgeria and Clover at the Sushiria

Level 2!

SATS made fun of the RFQ: The Romano Family Quartet got made fun off in a playful way in the WTTLO? (Who turned the lights off?) album cover. The 4tet took it nicely and pranked back with the "Opposite day!" album

Remake of Endless Void is better than the original: A big part of the fandom thinks that this is true for various reasons. On my side, both versions are good! ^^

"And I know it's just a rumour" phrase: this has been a recurring phrase in the SATShakers' music, having appeared once in every album from Ying Yang on

Ying Yang was gonna be named different: The album and song were both gonna have different names. One of the chosen names for the album was "Good and Evil" but they changed it since there was already an album under that name; on the topic of the song, it's previous names were "As Double-sided", "Good and Evil" and "good-and-evil-intro-song.mp3"

Level 3!

A Little Too Normal first album covers: This album was gonna have a different cover than the one we know, which is a face made up with pieces of all the members' faces and hair. Most of the unchosen album covers were arrangements of facial features (like the chosen one) but differently.

Rita and Xandra were part of the group: The first 2 years of existence of SATS had the 4 main members and also Rita on backing vocals. I, Xandra, was on the band till the year and 2 months, I played the keyboards and occasionally was the main singer (very few times tho)

The first logo of SATS: The logo used to be a plain, vertically stretched text in lowercase that said "scarlett and the shakers :P" , it was changed after 3 years.

Unreleased songs: These songs were made by SATS and never got into any album. For example, WHAT THE HELL?!, which is the first and only song they made sung by a Vocasyn.

Fans that say "SHAKEREFERENCE!!!1!!1!!11!!" : This is something that the people in the fandom do when they see something that's, in some way, related to SATS.

Level 4!

www.sats-officiaI.com: This is a fake version of the SATS website. Even though it looks like the real one, the L in official is actually an uppercase i. The fake website was taken down after a fan informed Clover about it.

Shady Business Tactics was gonna be in Well-behaved: This is a song that Clover released in her solo album Sushi Salmonella. The song was gonna be in Well-behaved but it didn't make the cut since it didn't fit in with the other songs

Lost Vocasyn covers: On the 1st year of existence on the band, SATS covered some Vocasyn songs. Most of these covers are lost and we only know of their existence because of Vocarank clips. Some of the lost covers are Alix of human sacrifice, Kyu kyurain, One more roll, I'm sorry I'm sorry, Kitsune's marriage, Stop nagging me! and Melt.

Canceled collab with Doom Bruleé: When the band was starting (2 years after SATS), Scarlett proposed a collaboration between SATS and Doom Bruleé. Orion rejected the proposal due to unknown reasons.

The debut album was considered lost media: It was released in 2005 and simply called Scarlett and The Shakers. After 2 more album releases and seeing it wasn't successful, SATS deleted all trace of their debut album on the internet. The problem is that the fans wanted to listen to the album even though it was lost. Hopefully, Rudy had the entire album on a pendrive, which he shared on a forum and posted on UTube.

Extras!

Rudy and Scarlett got beaten up recording a MV: On the recording of the music video for Bad Night, Scarlett and Rudy were beaten up after recording the part where the whole band holds umbrellas outside. Rudy got a black eye and Scarlett lost a tooth and was bleeding out of her mouth a bunch. They ended up recovering well, but no more MV for SATS songs were recorded outside.

20 seconds of Tohru: These are mini segments included in the episodes of The Shakers' Internet Show. They mostly include Tohru goofing around doing her own things, like cooking!

SATS reference in a videogame OST: The 6th release of the videogame series Touhou Project has a song where one of the parts sounds like the guitar solo in WHAT THE HELL?! . The song in the OST is And then there were none!.

Everyone in the band has side projects: All the current members of Scarlett and The Shakers have side projects related to music. Rudy goes under the name Ruru and released Broken swing, Clover has released Sushi Salmonella under her own name, Marty has a UTube channel for guitar covers of various songs, and Scarlett made an album collaboration with Carlo called Foodini's Fabulous Fashion Flambé.

I'm Back (kinda)

Hey... long time no see...

Um, yeah, as you can see, it's December and I haven't updated in almost half a year for my writing blog. I was not fully dead! Actually! I was mostly on instagram and posting about my crazy Jojo ships and doing art and stuff.

I'm gonna keep the reasoning for stepping away from the tumbly short. A lot of the months leading up to that was just. A lot. I didn't have much motivation to write (and ngl I'm still struggling to write) but art came a bit easier along with it. Family and the (still ongoing) escalation of things in the motherland were difficult alongside work.

But also for more reasons I kinda wanna get into! I really haven't felt like this blog was mine per se. I've always been asked by others to separate my blogs and likes and interests and keep this solely for writing, hence why little to no reblogs happen and I try not to be too spammy and share things so that way others can keep seeing only writing. Not to mention, my oc stuff was put in another blog to promptly die out while on Instagram it fared much better and I was much more cringe and free (and made tons of awesome friends there too <3). It also stifled my creativity because every time I wanted to write something tailor made for perhaps me or my original stuff, I felt I had to curtail it to appeal to every reader and 'ruin' the investment I personally had in it because now it lost all the personal touches.

This to say, going forward, I do wanna keep this blog and writing for ya'll, but I also wanna make it very ~me~. Posting more about my interests, reblogging things I see, and keeping it all in one place instead of straining it further with constant sideblogs or smth. This also means I will be posting my art and oc stuff here, primarily because... it's my blog, and it's my fun time :3

So yes, I intend to be more active and hopefully by actually keeping this stuff all in one place, I'll feel less burnt out and upset at the blog and leaving on a random hiatus.

The OC sideblog I posted before will most likely be deleted and I'll just remake certain things over here, so wahoo.

If you want to follow me on insta and see my dumb ship and art, it's cinnbar.bun I also chat a bit easier there.

Thank you to my friends who reached out and I'm sorry for my radio silence while I pondered and regained my energy here. You might see me spam art and doodles here on occasion in the next few days, sorrrryyyyyy but I hope you enjoy!
