Hi! I know this message is a bit out of the blue, but I just want to say that I was very surprised to see that you followed me back! I don't know if you meant it or if it was a mistake, but either way, it doesn't matter because whenever I see you in my notifications I always go "omg, that's arealtrashact!!!" and it makes me a lil bit happy because you're one of my favourite artists here!

I've talked about how much I love your art in the tags before, but what really strikes me about your work is how you seem to have a very keen eye when it comes to your subjects, so when you translate your interpretations into illustrations they're always so meaningful and vivid; it's like they're bursting at the seams with the subject's essence. It always leaves me in awe. I've got to admit that I think a lot about your Elvis in the Army and Elvis in Las Vegas pieces. But I also adore all your other work of other musicians, Homelander and even things I'm not familiar with! I'm not an artist myself, so I feel like my vocabulary is falling short of what makes your art so great to me, but it's just *so* striking! And the way you use colour and the fluidity of your character's body and mannerisms are just superb.

Anyway, sorry for the lengthy message! All this to say that you're one of my favourite bloggers, and whether you're sharing your art or posting about the things you love, it's always a pleasure seeing you on my dashboard. You make this place brighter! Thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful day! 💕⚡️

Th........ank....y....youuuu

This is such a beautiful, sweet message. It's taken me twice as long to answer it because I keep scrolling back up to reread it. I never know how to respond to stuff like this beyond blubbering my thanks and it never ever feels like enough. It means so much to me. . . More than I can put into words.

My following you wasn't a mistake. I thought you seemed cool and clearly I was right. Thank you for taking the time to write out this lovely message. I'm treasuring it like a precious stone.

the single "okay." on this took me out 😭

sometimes there are simply no adequate (or publicly appropriate) words to express the full scope of my feelings and all i can say is! well! then! okay. 😂❤

Hi! I read your tags and you were so sweet and kind to me that I'd just like to thank you for taking the time to read what I wrote and for finding something worthile in it. Thanks again and I hope you're having a great day 🥰💕

Absolutely, it's one of the best reviews I've read! I also loved the "rebel to relic" line; it totally distills what the film is about and what Baz wanted to capture, the way the energy crests and falls. I think that shows in the pacing, how we start frenetic and fast and gradually slow into something more reflective and somber. In the span of 20 years! The world really did change so much in that time, as did Elvis, and he deserved a longer career where he could be proud of all the peaks and valleys. Thank you for articulating everything so wonderfully! Also your point about each frame being purposefully dense and complex, just like the man himself. :)

And here's a link again if y'all want to read a great review on Elvis (2022).

Easier to use version. We'll be having the summoning circle every day, as usual. And y'all better show up for day two because "Motivational Songs to Play at Work" is hard to book. Link for the app.

And the roast app verdict:

Link for this one. (it's for joking purposes, it's not actually roasting your music tastes and I personally find it funny). It agrees, though, see? Everyone should go see Motivational Songs to Play at Work live.

Making this a tag game. Feel free to tag more people and keep it going or just post your results and tag nobody. No limit or minimum for tagging, either.

Elvis Caretaker

If you were to take care of one type of Elvis which one would it be?

Obviously because these 3 films were produced (or started production in Kid Galahad's case) in 1961, I'd take care of 1961 himbo Elvis. There's a wholesomeness to these films where to me the stories are character driven. If Elvis's character isn't written well and if he doesn't give off a good performance, the movie would suffer.

I want to take care of this Elvis and encourage him to fight for better material including being able to make his own. It's honestly incredible how the 3 gifs show a wide range of emotion. Even in the Kid Galahad gif, that expression ties into his character and I just wanna protect this pure himbo boy.

Shout outs to @seredelgi and @valkaryah for making these gifs. I randomly put this together and realized they all really show case Elvis' acting ability.

this you? https://www.tumblr.com/animusrox/756399592508211200

(btw I always check ur blog after a the boys episode like it's the variety/vulture/etc magazine)

Just replace the backpack with my dog and it's 100% me.

Without spoiling too much, I'll simply say that I had a very similar reaction to Homelander in regards to what he's responding to in these gifs.

Hi! Weird message but I know you love Taylor Swift and I was watching season two of The Bear and I couldn't helpt but to think of you. So one of the main cast, Richie, who's at first sight this massive loser, turns out to be a big Taylor Swift fan because his ex-wife (whom he still loves) and his daughter LOVE Taylor. And in the 2nd season he's just so into it and there's like so many Taylor Swift Moments in the show. Like a 40 year old man driving super fast while belting a Taylor Swift song?! And it's so great and funny but also sentimental. Anyways it made me think of you and I just wanted to let you know. Hope you're well <3

hi dani!!! not a weird message at ALL, and i'm always happy to hear from you regardless! you're always welcome to stop by.

the bear is on my list of shows i need to check out, i saw the clip of him singing along to love story and it was delightful, and having the context is even better. i adore that they have a grown man embracing something his ex-wife and daughter love, and then enjoying it and loving it unabashedly himself, and it's so fitting they'd choose taylor to represent that! funny and sentimental usage of artists i love makes me so happy. 🥰

thank you for thinking of me and sharing this!!! i hope you're well too (and thank you so much for the beautiful gifsets and great mention posts that you make too). <333

---Elvis manga---

To all my followers and few people that I follow and I adore 💗💗.

Im starting a proyect that basically is a manga where elvis has superpowers and the Protagonist (Katherine) needs a piece of his power to defeat one of the most strong gods(?) (im not sure about what type of human or monster is gonna be this villian but i'll start working on that!!) and she is the only one that can withstand that type of power without dying or destroy all the earth....

But elvis won't give that piece of power so easily, Challenging her to a duel where if she wins she can take that little piece but... If she loses... She dies.

SOOOO basically Depending on the jumpsuit that he wears he has different powers (example; the burning love suit, with that he can spit fire or use fire) and I would love that you will vote for an extra jumpsuit or era (because I already got like ten jumpsuits and eras for this manga but this one is just for you 💗).

.

.

.

---OPTIONS---

Adonis Jumpsuit

G.I Blues

Karate Elvis

I'll tag some people but feel free to vote if you want :-D
