THE BIGGEST MOVIES OF SUMMER 2025: A PREVIEW

The hottest movies you'll be seeing in cinemas, and three weeks later on streaming, in the following year!!!

BAMBI, MUFASA: THE FIRST LION KING, & DUMBO: WE REMADE IT AGAIN

That Disney (TM) magic (TM) you loved (TM) growing up is back on screen - with some of the emotion intact! The Mufasa one is real

TERRIFIER 4: ART THE CLOWN GOES HAWAIIAN

The movie people on Twitter can't stop saying saved horror is back. You loved Terrifier when he killed people without a real plot for two hours. You loved Terrifier when he did that again. You loved Terrifier when he did it on Christmas. But next summer, it's time for Art the Clown to "catch a wave" as he starts to surf - on waves of terror! ifier.

THE MATRIX 5 - THE RISE OF THE HOLOGRAMS

Original series writer Sophia Stewart returns for another movie of exciting Matrix action. Remember when they built a highway for The Matrix 2? For The Matrix 5, they built a full pyramid for the Egyptian God-King Neo to stand in front of as he fights the machines, and engages in a twenty minute unbroken rant about Rothschild central banks and the power of the all-seeing eye

I SAW THE TVS GLOW

The year is 2466 and a distant human colony has fallen under the spell of gender dysphoria. Now it's time for Tara and Isabel to rise from the grave and kick Mr. Melancholy's ass. For good. In space.

LIFE OF CHUCK

Mike Flanagan's life-affirming sci-fi drama starring Tom Hiddleston won the audience award at the Toronto Film Festival, and is primed to make a splash in the Oscar race next year! Fun fact: it is not only Flanagan's first prominent non-horror project, but is based on a rare non-horror work by Stephen King - shades of fellow Oscar favorites Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile.

WIP Wednesday

I've been keeping busy making more SnowBaz fan art dolls this week. If tiny boudoir Simon has not crossed your dash yet, please find him here. He is adorable. I make them in matching sets, so below is Baz of Only Creatures fame by the amazing @emeryhall.

Much like writing, doll making comes with its own ups and downs. I always stage the poses 2D before I start sewing and stuffing things to get an idea of how things will turn out. Here was the plan for the next set. Can you guess the fic?

However, sometimes the final product does not play nice. Baz was supposed to be long and lean compared to Simon, but maybe he's too long and lean?? These are the exact same dimensions as Baz's Beard--Character, only this Baz is naked and his feet are pointed. Not sure what went wrong. I might take the legs off and try again.

Simon is also presenting problems, but that is mostly the fabric. To get a good skin tone, I had to buy a different brand that is not as high quality as the Baz felt. *Sigh.*

As for writing, this is likely my last preview/teaser for The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch. There is no good way to preview Chapter 14 or the Epilogue without spoiling my own story. Enjoy a bit of Chapter 13 below the cut.

In August, Simon decides they must go to the beach, even though Baz is incapable of enjoying the sun. He sits under the umbrella the whole time, covered head-to-toe in layer upon layer of sunscreen, and reads a book dejectedly or complains about the existence of sand. Meanwhile, Simon splashes in the ocean with glee, the sun making his golden skin glow.

I’ll be at the beach next week, just like the boys! We’ll see if I remember to post.

The Half-Life of Sixty Seconds

Words: 6626 Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Tim Drake & Lonnie Machin, Tim Drake/Lonnie Machin Summary: Based on Red Robin #16. Missing Scenes and Relationship Building. Tags: Pre-Relationship, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Developing Relationship, Developing Friendships, Missing Scene, Pre-New 52, New Earth, Medical Trauma, Canon-Typical Violence, Coma, Based on Red Robin #16, Comic: Red Robin (2009) #16

Preview:

The problem with thinking like a detective is not actually that thinking like one is too strict or structured. There’s organization on a document, but Tim’s mind is not a bullet journal. It’s not a legal form, it’s not a spreadsheet, it’s not a ledger.

It’s messy and human and creative. Loose, unstructured, instinctual. Detectives aren’t good at solving cases because they work like machines; it’s much the opposite. It’s that creative mess which aids in seeing between the structure of presented facts, reading the code, and then cracking it. It’s like tracing a spider web back to its center. There’s an observable track leading exactly where one needs to go— a veritable method to the madness— but it’s still art, all the same, even to the broom that ruins it.

So, when Tim is presented with a countdown, it’s not just a mechanical, factual understanding of time that pushes hard against the inside of his ribs; it’s a too-clear visual of a digital clock-face, neutral and unyielding, counting down from sixty in his neocortex. Artistic and messy and emotional.

There is only one place to go once one is caught in the web.

00:59:99. He doesn’t even know what’s happening, yet, but dread spreads in his stomach regardless because there was a piece on the chess board that he didn’t see, and now he’s in check.

He grits his teeth and demands information.

By 00:56:19, he has a location, and by 00:54:43, his feet aren’t on the pavement anymore, while Ulysses Armstrong lies there frozen, trapped by Tim’s last-ditch effort to see the guy to justice.

As he takes off, he tosses half-formed instructions to the bystanders who stopped to see Red Robin use a guy to ollie down a stoop, and it’s like he can hear his own voice on a time delay, like he’s listening to both the live scene and the news broadcast at once. It’s shrill and tense, and even in his own head, it sounds like his vocal cords are pulled too tight, like they’ll snap at any minute.

He doesn’t stop to think too hard about that— his brain, while no computer, is still running calculations in prestissimo tempo, flying through his mind as quickly as the freezing Gotham wind passes over his exposed cheeks, chapping the skin there, and on his chin, his lips. He is moving at a blistering pace, and he still won’t make it for another twelve seconds.

00:43:01. He dips his left shoulder and careens through a tight curve, one of the fastest he’s pulled off with the new glider. If he wasn’t counting building numbers like dandelion fluff on the breeze, Tim would pass time thinking about the effects of adrenaline on a trained skill. But he, more than most, has examples plenty of that very thing, dating as far back as when he was twelve and still unable to wear the colors he was training for.

The windows of 515 Roussos Boulevard’s penthouse apartment are splashed in plum and claret from the setting sun, and it’s the perfect target for a bullseye. Tim’s cape slackens.

00:28:03 and he shatters the plate glass with the force of his dive, hitting it with the hardened armor of his elbows and knees first. It isn’t even a contest; the barrier explodes, and his feet crunch on the powder and shards beneath them, and it doesn’t even matter that it all went everywhere because Lonnie evidently wasn’t in any danger of getting hit by it all— because all Tim can see of Lonnie at first is a goddamned metal tube.

It doesn’t feel any less horrifying when he rotates and finds Lonnie’s head exposed at one end. His cheeks are sunken, and he’s so pale that Tim would have thought him dead if he hadn’t been talking to him that very morning.

Red Robin’s voice is sotto voce soft, though when the only other sound in the room is the dull murmur of equipment, it sounds loud as a gunshot, even over the blood rushing in his ears. “Lonnie…”

Two images splinter in his mind. One, his friend now, lying with his eyes shut and a disarmingly neutral expression written into the too-sharp angles of his face— the other, a direct antipode; Lonnie, cheeks flushed high with color, green eyes lit with gold and will, and impassioned words of revolution in no shortage on his sharp tongue.

Like yesterday…

“What did he do to you?”

detained chapter 4 update here!

very amazing art by @domiiiq312!! (⁠●⁠♡⁠∀⁠♡⁠)

Chapter Preview:

"Are you going to work yourself until the verge of collapse again?" He said with a certain conviction in his voice. "I absolutely don't want Detective Novikov to condescendingly yell at me because I let you push yourself too much. It's only been the first day since this case has been assigned to you. Calm the fuck down. Not everyday you get to serve the justice the victims deserve. You don't have to gather all the possible information that you could on the first day. There’s a tomorrow coming, [Y/N], stop working as if you’ll die today. Now, we're technically off duty so we're not co-workers right now. You're not the primary at the moment. I'm the older than you, and you'll do as I say." 

He kept his cold, piercing gaze at her, his demeanor becoming more and more similar to that of Deadeye's—cold, calculating, and cunning. But it was that Deadeye that she asked him to sit down for a while and talk for a minute.

It was that Deadeye. The Deadeye who seemed engulfed with whatever was going on in his head, was serious and was a huge contrast to who he was now. It almost felt like a splash of cold water had been thrown at her face. What has gotten into him, bringing our past conversation into this? She blinked, feeling her throat run dry as the heavy silence hung between them. His eyes were still pointed at her, and she could only sigh. "Okay. Fine. I'll chill out."

Chamber nodded, letting out a few deep breaths to calm himself down. As the silence hung and the tension thickened, the gravity of Sasha's words earlier was starting to weigh on him—You are one cruel man, Vincent. Maybe he was a little cruel, but who was he to know that his actions would affect others indirectly? Who knew that letting her chase him for those 4 or 5 years would have consequences?

He knew that. He just chose to ignore it. The poor woman had to work nonstop to find and track him down above her other cases, and in a way, he felt bad. So now, he would change that by not letting her get too caught up with the case.

Vincent let out a final sigh, and having calmed down, he jammed his keys into the ignition, and the car started humming to life. The radio was off, the engine revved gently, and none of them said a word as Chamber joined the road traffic as he silently drove off.Meanwhile, [Y/N] felt really uneasy. It was then that she realized that maybe he might only be putting up with her. He wasn’t asking her to stop and rest out of concern—he was asking her because he didn’t want to be lectured by Sasha. It’s obvious that, as enemies, Chamber probably still held a grudge against her for almost foiling his undercover mission a handful of times; it would be really weird and out of character if he suddenly cared about her. Hell, he might as well not give a damn if she collapses if it weren’t for Sasha, but her thoughts didn't align with his actions earlier. Why was he so worked up into scolding her? Did Sasha say something to him? Wasn't it just convenient that her newfound power wasn't coming to her aid right now? She continued to ponder over his actions, digging deeper and deeper into her subconscious.

Dear Honkai Tumblr,

I present to thee something which might be the weirdest character crossover you've seen yet: an HSR version of GGZ's Fire MOTH! Based on...

-> GGZ Fire MOTH Himeko & Houraiji Kyuushou,

-> HI3rd's young Cocolia (from the Second Eruption manga),

-> and HI3rd's Captainverse Vollerei (Red Seele)

details below

my mind works in mysterious ways, and today it decided to pair up these characters together.

it's hard to explain but I've kinda had bits and pieces of this idea already, just not put together in this exact fashion. soooo I just whipped up a sketch as a bit of a preview, just doddling based off of some reference photos. It took a bit under 40 minutes, but I'm satisfied with it so I'm gonna go ahead and post it now instead of burying it w/ the rest of my WIPs x-x

but! I would like to try and come up with a complete set of art, story, and gameplay features for these 4 in the HSR setting! Including character splashes, signature light cones, detailed abilities, etc.

While I still have a long way to go w/ this project, I do have some ideas to start with

This is my current rough outline of the story:

Kyuushou, Himeko, Vollerei, and Cocolia are a misfit band of survivors on an icy world that was struck by a Stellaron disaster (as usual). Himeko lost her family, Vollerei lost her twin (blue seele) & Bronya, and Cocolia lost Serval; but they were all united by Kyuushou, and together they fight in the ruins of their homeworld.

For their designs I'd like to try and start w/ the Fire MOTH uniforms but modify it to better fit HSR aesthetics. As for gameplay, I have the following as my sort of "first draft" for their kits:

-> Kyuushou as Imaginary(?) Harmony, wielding a blade and gun

-> Himeko as Fire Destruction, wielding her signature GGZ greatsword

-> Vollerei as Ice Abundance, using the life symbolism of the butterfly rebirth theme

-> Cocolia as Ice Nihility, using an ice lance much like the Architect's lance from Jarilo-VI (that Trailblazer now uses)

Dandelion Wish

Author: @jellyfishloveletterghosts (Ao3: carrera_os) Artist: @ravencl (Ao3: Raven_CL)

Summary: Billy makes a wish on a dandelion as a kid and brings Steve to life, unfortunately shortly after he loses him and they don't meet again until Billy gets to Hawkins during the events of season 2 Rating: T Pairings: Billy/Steve Content Tags: Infertility, Off Screen Parent Death due to Cancer, Child Abuse, Spousal abuse, Canon Typical Violence and Themes for Season 2 and 3, Wish Magic, Time Skips, Getting to Know Each Other, Canon Divergent, Getting Together

Excerpt & Art Preview:

"Oh shut up," Steve's face pinches up and he tries to move away.

Billy does not let him, arm curling over his neck challenging, “make me.”

Steve takes the challenge, pushing Billy back, pulled down by the hold around his neck. Steve ends up on top of Billy, the two of them pushing and shoving at one another. He is not on top for long though, Billy hooking a meaty thigh around his and rolling them until Steve finds himself underneath. They are still grappling, Steve shoving his hips up and both of them flushing as Billy presses his hips down to keep him in place.

There is heat between them, sweat and groans and laughs as they keep playfully fighting. Hands shifting from pushing away to pulling closer, Billy’s curls fanning out around Steve’s face, close enough their breath mingles. Steve chews his bottom lip, a hand sliding up Billy’s arm toward his shoulder as a thumb rubs against his straining pulse.

Billy is leaning closer, barely aware of it until their noses brush. He should pull away, sock Steve in the stomach and leave but that is not an option. Not really because they are connected and this was always coming, building. At least since Billy got old enough to realize he prefers men over women.

The glass door below them, leading out to the pool from the living room screeches as it opens. It is like a bucket of cold water splashing over them and Steve’s hand is still on Billy’s arm when he rolls off him but he doesn’t try to hold him there. “Steven, why is my garden filled with dandelions? What are you boys getting up to?” Steve groans and pushes up and to the edge of the roof and sure enough the flowerbeds are full of dandelions.

Comic Box 1997 End of Evangelion Issue - Archive Scan

Comic Box was a magazine in Japan launched in, from what I can gather, 1982. It was a bit of an ‘alt” magazine - it has an imprint, Comic Box Jr, which focused on doujinshi for example - and would cover anything anime-adjacent, including western films. The October 1997 release of the magazine was dedicated to the release of the End of Evangelion film, and to answering the question “what was the phenomenon called Evangelion?”. Towards that end it features fan submissions, art, comics, essays, all talking about what Eva meant to them. Some are serious, some are fully comedic, way way more than I expected are erotic, and overall it is a time capsule of how the anime community was thinking about Evangelion when EoE came out. The magazine dissolved in 1998 from what I can tell, so this was one of its last releases - you can still see its absolutely vintage website here! Complete with dashing chibi cat gif.

I discovered this magazine through japanese anime/manga archivist-in-residence ehoba on twitter, who provided photos and rough summaries of some of the pages. They are just camera photos of an open magazine though, not scans, and not at all complete. I hunted around for a while to find a scanned version, messaged ehoba and a few others, posted on forums like Evageeks, and drew total blanks. I couldn’t find any listings of it online, so I set the quest aside...until I was placing another order for some artbooks for import and decide to check Yahoo Auctions Japan and lo and behold, there is was! It arrived this week.

So that image above is not one pulled from the internet - I have scanned the entire Evangelion segment of Comic Box - October 1997 issue. I am a neophyte scanner & image editor, these aren’t gonna be amazing or anything, but while I hope to make a more polished version I wanted to share the drafts now. I really aspire to translate it, but of course I don’t speak Japanese, so I am going to see how far working with some people I know and brute-forcing with AI would go. If you are interested or know someone who would be, definitely reach out! 100% would crowdsource this. If someone already scanned and translated this, also let me know, I would groan heavily and curse my google skills but i’d rather it be available and know, and not waste time.

Below will be some reduced-down PNG’s of the magazine to fit Tumblr image limits with Ehoba’s notes and a few of my own attached to them. A link to the full images as a singular PDF is on the Internet Archive [Here]

A reflection of a very known thing in this magazine is that, from my perspective, End of Evangelion is definitely Asuka’s moment to shine, but it didn’t matter because the 90′s Eva fandom *loved* Rei. She was the most popular by far, and I think dethroned Sailor Mercury on the ‘best girl’ polls in magazines of the era. Nowadays if you poll audiences - as the NHK did recently - Asuka is the most popular girl, but it was a different, proto-moe-boom time.

"Evangelion was fake. A fake made by one director, or by the staff. However, it was a very real fake. God, it was so good."

Watermelon Kaji absolute goat here; so cool indeed

How much Asuka is suffering in all these images vs god-salvation Rei is, again, saying alot about the waifu wars.

"I don't think episode 25 and 26 were professional work. I understand that the ADR script and previews with layout sheets are supposed to be avant-garde, but something is wrong with it." "TV show is not an individual's job, so I wanted them to deal with the schedule limitation."

90% sure this Asuka ‘escaped’ and I saw it on the internet in the early 2000′s - maybe the author published it elsewhere in a doujin, I assume a lot of this art would have been repurposed for other mediums.

Honestly the art is incredible for this magazine sometimes, the splash pages they have are filled with Evangelion’s anime-spiritual energy.

"Unit 02 has a mouth, which means it can give a blow job." "The biggest surprise is Rei in cowgirl position. The official content does that, so hentai authors have nothing to do."

(Gainax putting hard-working hentai doujin authors out of a job, what assholes!)

"My heated up feeling toward Evangelion was quick-freezed by episode 25 and 26. EoE defrosted it, but now I feel distant from Evangelion."

How much Episode 25-26 come up here is great evidence for how divisive they were - End of Eva is absolutely seen as commentary on, and opposition to, the TV ending. I think in the west the initial reception of the original ending is overall more positive? Certainly nowadays, would be curious how it is seen in Japan today.

OCR’ing this image will literally murder me, pls I can’t

"Bullshit plot, surficial information, shallow dialogues, inconsistent direction, story with tons of plot holes, the director's masturbation, the otaku's useless attempt to enlighten other otaku..." "BUT I LOVE IT."

10/10 take

"'Sincerity' of someone I don't like just confirms that I still don't like them. Anno apparently thought that honest depiction of himself can be depiction of otaku, but that's not wrong. Anno is exceptionally creepy."

God-tier Anno portrait here. I love how many of this art showcases “settings” from End of Eva and which ones hit the audience - re-using the movie theatre seats for Shinji, that is really cool!

Evangelion - Slayers edition! The artist names are in the black box panel on the page lining, I absolutely hope to track down a few of them and see what kind of works they made.

"I think each material of Evangelion was nothing new. In the early half, however, I was moved by their techniques of arranging and remixing those materials." "Creators' strong desire for expression supported this story, but I'm not sure."

"Adam and Eve in the Eden East" "I hope they will live happily after the ending."

"The theater was like a funeral after the screening. No, I should say it was a literal funeral. Evangelion ended, it died. In terms of entertainment, Evangelion was completely and brilliantly killed."

Kaworu’s insta-inclusion into the ranks of the kid cast is always amusing to me; he is in one episode of the show after all, barely in Eva! But he is all over the art immediately. The power of design - and also being one of the first gay characters on television (as opposed to OVA’s) in Japan.

Hopefully if I can make progress on translation I can have actual thoughts to add to the scan, certainly I will post results if I get them.

I value, way too deeply to be honest, the preservation of the other side of the ‘media mix’ - how people responded to the media in question and what it meant to them. It is way more likely to be lost than the media itself or documents from the production side. May this contribution to preserving a bit of that experience be of value to those out there who would be interested in the history of Evangelion, and anime more generally.

If you think you know anyone or your followers overall would be interested in translation help, I would appreciate the broadcasting!

Good morning, friends. I hope your Sunday morning is as fresh, joyful, and vibrant as this splash of colorful sunlight.

It took nearly two months, but I’ve finally completed this custom stained glass piece for my home (what you see now is the glass part; the final step of framing is yet to come). Yet, when I lifted it up and previewed it against the window, tears welled up in my eyes. It‘s breathtaking, evoking countless warm and beautiful memories. Memories from childhood, travels, and the world of anime, especially the healing charm of Studio Ghibli, have powered and transformed me over the years.

The home improvement project continues, and this stained glass will find its place in our living room, where I welcome friends and engage in heartfelt conversations. I hope it will appeal to all ages, evoke wonderful memories, and create a warm and healing space. That’s why I chose my spirit animal - Totoro - as the theme. It reminds me that art is a tool for spreading love, keeping me true to my original intentions, and using my own hands to make the world more beautiful, bringing people together, and uniting all things.

So, I‘ll leave it here. Do you have anything you’d like to share with me? Feel free to leave a comment. ✨

P.S. Right now, I‘m missing my friends scattered around the world. My heart is always with you. Sending love to all of you. 💖💖💖
