I keep looking at Jason's illus (not a big fan of the moment per se, they are comedians at this point) AND keep thinking of this Nate's illus which quite frankly I don't think will ever be topped by anything

Does anyone else dont see themselves as the mc orrrr because personally the mc is NOT me. Like im here supporting her wanting to fuck that man as her last dying wish. Im just here to see everything either go downhill or get a happy ending!! The mc is the deranged one not me!!!

Cotton Candy

(February 7, 2022)

[candiedwords]

A month after Scream (2022) released, I made a joke to myself about Liv McKenzie being like the girl in a YA novel, with these 2 guys fighting over her, and then I made a story from that. Now, I have an intended novel series that is essentially a very weird AU fanfiction in which a bunch of Scream characters are supernaturals.

My point: Never make a joke about anything, ever.

Jumped in the @d20exchange this year and had the pleasure of making a gift for @thebonelessduck on Twitter! I couldn’t pick just one character out of the prime selection offered to me from their list, so I tried to draw as many as possible !

I am so glad I don't have a crush currently so I can actually enjoy Valentines Day instead of being like "I'm going to die alone why must I endure this suffering"

That practical effects in horror movies post got me mad now. What do you MEAN movies aren’t made with enough goop anymore??? I agree cgi is overused and seen too often. But the notes on that post is like…what horror movies are you guys watching because I just now watched two separate films that were so goopy and bloody and full of practical effects and nasty lil bits made by a team of artists who lovingly covered them in lube and coloured corn syrup mixtures like you are not even trying here. Two of the films I’m thinking of came out last year what happened to you to make you think it’s all cgi blood now

Books I Read In 2022 (and by read I mean actually liked)

Pearl The Cloud Fairy (The Weather Fairies #3) by Daisy Meadows

“It’s because one of those nasty goblins is using the magic Cloud Feather — and he’s doing it all wrong!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(4.75 STARS)

The Weather Fairies series is obviously one of the OG series in the Rainbow Magic universe, but for some reason, I just never read it as a kid. Should I have read the series out of order? No! But I don’t think I’ve actually ever read a Rainbow Magic series in order (except for the Rainbow Fairies of course). 

I’m not gonna lie, I was a little confused at the beginning about Doodle the magic rooster. This is honestly the first time I’ve heard of a weathervane and I actually had to look up what it was, and I’m glad I did because otherwise I would’ve continued to think that the McGuffin being rooster feathers was just a silly thing and a concept with true significance. (The more you know I guess?) I understood wanting a cohesive object, especially since weather is such an abstract concept that it would be difficult to find something tangible to represent it, but until I did a little digging of my own, I kept asking myself like, ‘why a ROOSTER?!’ 

The slight mystery element to the series was such a unique idea! Obviously we all know Doodle wants to say something about Jack Frost, but what does he want to say? This whole idea that every time he gets a little bit of his magic back, he comes back to life for a bit and has an important message to deliver, but we won’t know the whole story until the end - fantastic intrigue for this particular series!

I’m also quite happy with how Cloud Magic was depicted in this book because I thought the missing feather would just mean that it’s super cloudy when it shouldn’t be, or the clouds are turning into strange shapes and moving in ways that don’t make sense. Having them start to influence everyone’s mood because they’re simply no longer in the sky was such a cool idea! Moreover, I loved what they tried to do with the different types of clouds; dreary clouds made people sad, the more vibrant ones made them dreamy and the darker ones made them angry.

Pearl was also such a fun character! I loved her introduction because she’s just sat on Kirsty’s windowsill like a sullen teenager and the way she was so exasperated when the girls showed up like, ‘it’s about goddamn time’ was just so funny. I think she’s such a murderous little shit. Every other line she had was just her talking shit about the goblin and wanting to deck him. She literally left him to die if you really think about it because the way he got trapped by the candy wrapping machine won’t allow him to breathe. Unless Jack Frost knows and sees all (which he doesn’t), that goblin is going to die from lack of oxygen in a candy factory… and Pearl was happy about that. (I actually have a list of Rainbow Magic fairies that I think should never get their hands on a gun, and Pearl is very high on that list. Isabella would toe the line because she has typical fairy morals, but also she could snap at any given moment.) 

Maybe some of Pearl’s attitude rubbed off on Kirsty because the second Rachel was in danger, Kirsty said, ‘make me human again so I can curb-stomp a goblin’ and that’s true friendship. (Sidenote, yes I know Rachel was in danger, but the image of Rachel being stuck in a cloud was so funny, I’m sorry, I could not stop laughing!)

Other moments/lines that I loved:

The candy factory in general looked so cool! It was chaotic and busy, so exactly how you’d imagine a candy factory to be.

“Give me that feather!” Kirsty demanded. // “Wha’ fe’er?” the goblin spluttered, trying to keep his mouth closed. - Surprisingly enough, Rainbow Magic books don’t really do cartoony things like the goblin stuffing the magic feather in his mouth, so I thought this was really funny.

Rachel eating her way out of her cloud trap because the cloud is cotton candy.

The goblin looked sly. “No, it’s mine!” he said. “Anyway, I can do those tricks myself.” // “Go on, then,” Pearl challenged. - She said ‘BET’ and he stupidly took it, as goblins do, and immediately regretted it. (You’re such a little shit, Pearl, I love you so much.)

NO ONE TOLD ME THE ICON THE LEGEND HERSELF PEARL TATE, DAUGHTER OF KIRSTY TATE, HAD A WHOLE ASS BACKSTORY (and you just know that Pearl the Cloud Fairy is absolutely the type to hold this over everyone’s heads like, ‘Kirsty named her kitten after ME’ and as she fucking should.)
