🫢 i think she might have liked it, not 100% sure ngl

(also i am so sorry,, the first time i posted it tumblr literally ate the post and it disappeared?? so i deleted it and started over)

5th times the charm and all that :')

[velxi-thestar]

Got into Bg3 recently and noticed something that I refuse to believe isn't intentional.

Astarion, everyone's favorite vampy boi, has curly, fluffy white hair. That, combined with his trauma and past, makes me think that his hair is designed to look like a sheep.

Because he's quite literally a sacrificial lamb for Cazador.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk ;p

Stupid Nicknames

the gradient colors of the enges of a sunset Catchs my attention has I sit outside my work smoking cigarettes as if i'm reclaiming stolen minues The orange line on the horizon i A skyline made of towering trees and electrical lines

It's weird to see the beauty of the summer sunset come down the parking lot of the funeral home next door And mortuary and forever intwined with you I hope you someday finished school

A semi rumbles by, shooting black smoke out behind it Most people cough in that emission But the only thing I've gone pro in is smoking cigarettes So the face full just stinks

The blues slowly quieting down into purple and even further into black Night comes like a soothing blanket to wrap into or Night also comes with bottles of vodka and chaotic energy or Night comes and it's hardly noticed

The amount of time I spend alone in my room has my room mates all calling me Ted and I laugh along with them, even thoug it's not funny at all At least they make an effort

I guess I can't get too mad at them I'm writing under a swinging single bulb too I just don't have the urge too make letterbombs for strangers Instead, I write poetry with no laws I write scripts for movies that will never be made I write stories of vampies, hell and the damned I write romance and loss greif and joy I write every goddamn thing I've got I write them until the words are on life support and that moment offically dies in time

I came up with the most perfect words to say I love you But I didn't have a pen anywhere so I let the idea die.

Renfield (2023)

Date Watched: 4/14/2023

Gay: 4/10. Oh ho ho! I am dracula ;)

Twilight Influences: None. Starting to think we need wwdits influences this decade

Enjoyment: 8/10. Most of this comes from Nick Cage but Hoult is fine too I guess. I really love the aesthetics of this movie and cage's prosthetics are amazing but god I hate the cops and the mafia. Not every movie needs to be an action movie. That said, Ted was hilarious and I'm so glad his whole family became familiars I just thought that their plot didn't fit. I also loved all the therapy guys and god the "dracula's blood" was so good especially after such a funny scene (I think everyone in the theater was just losing their shit for a full 10 minutes and this movie that I dragged my friends to didn't actually make them hate me)

Vampies: Oh my god! Cage is one of the sickest vampires I've seen recently. The way he is both an ugly and attractive vamp at once is brilliant. His greenness is accentuated by lighting and I love all of his familiars. Their lore is strange though, like why do familiars get powers? Anyways 10/10

No sires (can he even sire people? Maybe it's a vampire in brooklyn thing)

Representative of 2020s? Too soon

Relative Popularity? Well it was advertised a lot but no one seemed to see it. I still loved it though and I'm glad I went in theaters.

No one can convince me that this (https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjh5oLeX/) is not something our wholesome reader would do/sing for his vampy boyfriend. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

That's awfully cute, Anon! I absolutely love the thought of Astarion laying in Tav's arms getting cuddled and his hair ruffled and softly and Tav is quietly humming to him - creating the safe haven he so desperately needs!

And also: Tav teaching him some of the common tavern songs for their next visits with Lira and Daegin at the pub!

I recently fell into a deep morass, at my war service.

I can barely remember the sleep I went into, seeing such vivid dreams.

I've lived in lies much of my life, a police informant of my own volition; the training manuals, mine, about how to be my father.  A superhuman.

I drafted Dan Slot out of Federal German waters, his New York job running slaves.

I hit the Canadian Freemasons of Hopkinton so hard, the black came back, and Obama won on a Slim Jim pork ration for 9/11.

The entire weed market was beneath me, slamming them on sauce-free pizza, the delivery driver of the future; someone kind, a kid just raising another kid, with his wife.

I put an FBI raid the likes of which you wouldn't believe on MI-6 services in Taunton, and an air raid chopper on Osama's Kabul, with a French recipe out of the Weeks family; bacon-spinach souffle, at Panera Bread.

I made a half dozen or more arrests, sophomore year, each one a pacifist war agitator, none of them murdered, all of them drafted into an army of the willing; under George W. Bush.

The Louisiana Cajun Sheriffs and Boston Basim and the Irish Mob, were sent to war with the Stoneman's Society, the Jordanian writing circles of Boston; Sauds, got their first and last taste of Blockbuster, their new video investment.

I put a knife shot right into Julian Assange, Soros's man, and pulled Obama out of the war, with his Nobel Peace Prize Speech; Seinfeld.

When Syria hit France, I was there, on every comic book copy of GI Joe, Larry Hama's grinning face mocking them.

When Hamas and Israel came to bear and threaten, each time, an EON movie, from Silver and Cherna, those two little women I loved, along with Vampy, the third rarely suspected.

I made love with hookers and courtesans, but nothing was like Goddess Arsine, kidnapped to the French North, her home as a Boelyn.

And I laughed, I laughed like a motherfucker, when my CIA hire out of the Prosecutor's Agent office, Joseph Kennedy III, the lead prosecutor in my district, made it into Congress.

I pushed grass and sold booze, throughout the War on Terror, with a book called "No-No Boy", by John Okada.

The French already knew they were behind it.  The offense of the Ted Bundy trial, about saying a CIA couldn't betray for love and color.

I am pure red white and blue, and I was always a CIA field assassin.

The Joker.

doing a lot of thinking about things that potentially dont even matter in the grand scheme of things but are still interesting to think about

CAT might not have actually designed the Red Skull pins

(and by extension, the Player Pins)

theres several things that point to this, even including things in the anime (sources and screenshots provided because we love orderly things)

when the Red Skull pins are first given out, CAT is not mentioned whatsoever. not in the mission, not in Makoto’s monologue about how he’s supposed to get people to pay attention it, not in the anime when the red beanie guy is bringing in a box to the Prince, nowhere. weird, considering how that would boost their popularity, and make them gain traction a lot faster?

this might be somewhat obvious, but the supplier of these pins is clearly Megumi. the game only briefly mentions a “mystery supplier”

but the anime makes it a bit more obvious, given that the red beanie guy is actually a reaper, which makes his “boss” this week’s GM: Higashizawa, who’s Megumi’s proxy and acting under his orders

red beanie guy is never seen with wings, but his coloration is Very satured, just like other reapers (compared to the more desaturated RG folk) which makes him stand out. and if thats not enough proof,

in week 3 when Konishi is issuing an Emergency Call, you can see reapers react to it, one of which is a recolored beanie reaper just like the one we saw in week 1

anyway, moving on. from Megumi’s perspective, CAT has nothing to do with these pins

as Conductor, Megumi might or might not know a Producer even exists, but either way he isn’t aware of what their identity is, so he doesn’t know that they’re actually CAT, either

Actually, the very first mention that ties CAT to the Red Skull pin in the game is from a random NPC in front of 104 (in week 1) who wonders whether the design is from CAT

it’s a brief assumption. after this, it’s not brought up in the game again until week 2, where Makoto is suddenly advertising them as “CAT-designed”

a little weird, CAT has been a big name in Shibuya for (presumably) years, so why didnt he mention CAT back in week 1?

in the anime, CAT is first brought up in relation to the Red Skull pins in week 2 by two RG folk

We dont know why everyone suddenly thinks they’re designed by CAT in the anime,

but in the game, it at least seems to give the impression that it’s a rumor that suddenly got out of hand. CAT, at the very least, never gave out a statement saying otherwise

because we know a certain someone was quite busy, he might not have even known that people were associating the pin with CAT. since the Producer’s identity is meant to be a secret both in the UG and RG, it’s likely that if he realized people were coming dangerously close to putting one and one together, he might’ve intervened and severed the connection to CAT and the pins entirely

and, well, joshua never had a reason to deny the pins were CAT’s work, because they are, but nobody except him should know that in the first place

what joshua says in the game about the Player pins and whos responsible for making them is interesting

note the way joshua chooses his words here, he says the Composer is responsible for creating them, not that he actually creates them. and the Producer very much falls into “Composer territory”, as the Composer is the only one who is allowed to contact them, and the only one who knows their identity

he also refers to the Composer as a designer, this is a surprise tool that will help us in a second

The anime cuts the conversation somewhat short, and we’re only given this line

where he specifies that the Composer designs the player pins, not that he creates them

what we know of the system in the UG, this lines up. the Conductor (and the reapers) execute the Composer’s designs and ideas. The Producer takes these designs and actually creates, produces them. that’s all their role is, making the Composer’s designs reality

it’s true that CAT made the pins

but the Composer is the one who designed them

so this

was designed by Joshua

you could claim that he just gave the Producer a vague request to make a player pin and didn’t specify what it was supposed to look like, but

the Skull design is All over the Room of Reckoning, the Composer’s room. on the spires, the throne, the floor, it almost seems like it serves as an identifier of the Composer’s presence and control of the area.

which is pretty solid indication that the Composer is the one who designed it.

that concludes my case

Behind the Scenes of Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits”

[edgymuses-a]

One crossover that I’m surprised hasn’t happen yet is Vampirella and Ash Williams! Like come on he did a crossover with Xena and Obama!

[tinyvampire]

i know ppl hate him but ted is a dilf and i’m not sorry

[six-core]

I can’t believe Don’t Forget Your Head actually features Dixon as the main character of the episode (and it’s actually fun hearing Dixon taunting Headless Ted (the headless zombie from s1e47 Grampy Vampy) and him actually save the day, also I like how Dr F has a small spotlight in the ep but not Six as opposed to some of the s2 eps where the latter appeared but not her mum/creator)

[hitchell-mope]

Further fancasting for the reboot I’d make

In accordance with a previous post this is who else I’d like to see in the the ducktales esque Sabrina reboot i theorised about in said post

Anne Hathaway. Vesta Spellman

Lauren Graham. Dorma Spellman

Jane Fonda. Irma Spellman

Dan Stevens. Ted Spellman

Candice Bergen. Lydia Spellan

Andy Samberg. Roland the troll

Emily Vancamp. Diana Spellman

Bill Hader. Tim the witch smeller

Peyton Elizabeth Lee. Perry “Pi” McDonald

Landry Bender. Libby Chessler

Dafnee Keen. Cassandra

Will Arnett. Drell

No Maritza. And Libby would be Gem’s cousin here. Cassandra would still be Enchantra’s niece. Ted and Diana would be recurring characters. Roland would be Tim’s double agent. Tim would be the big bad. Dorma would still be a sheep. Though probably not as grumpy. Vesta would still be as vampy as she was in the sitcom but through a G rated lens. And Irma would definitely still be the feared matriarch of the family. But less of a human hater. More of a “will do whatever it takes to protect her own” type of matriarch. Not sure about Drell but he’d definitely be on the council still. He should definitely turn out to be an actual ally among the Roland double cross. And I’d love it if great grandma Lydia got a substantial role

[andwejust-ran]

I have a lot of messages in my inbox asking my why I’m so sure that Hopper is really alive.

Honestly, all I can say is.....Fox Mulder “died” on the XF like....five times. And yet, was still alive and well when the show finally ended last year.

Buffy “died” on Buffy the Vampie Slayer. And yet....was still alive and well when the show ended.

Han Solo was frozen in carbon and while he did eventually die much later, he still lived for a very long time after that.

Plus-Jon Snow from GOT. Rick from Walking Dead. Harry Potter in the final book. These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Moral of the story: Fake deaths are a common trope and ST has already been known to use this (Eleven, Will, Brenner, ect.) so fear not. Our brute of a man is gonna be just fine. Eventually.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

And in conclusion:

Speakeasy!AU Rejects:

So here’s a batch of my more complete rejects from the speakeasy redesign project! In today’s ted talk I’ll be reviewing why things didn’t make the cut and my own dumb blunders along the way (hint: there’s many).

Starting off with Mads: she was the first of the character redesigns I did for this project and it shows in her original pose. As you can see it’s very boring and static- a basic, simple 3/4s pose. I had in mind that that would be what I’d do for all of them- but when I moved on to the second character I realized that wasn’t very visually interesting. Of course that brought along with it the challenge of coming up with 5 or 6 distinct standing poses that showed off both their personality and their outfit designs. So after I finished all of Mads’ designs, I went back and changed the position of her arm. It’s not a super dynamic change but she doesn’t have a very outgoing personality so it fits, and makes sure she doesn’t stand out too much from the rest of the cast.

Click here to see Mads’ completed lineup of designs, and read the write up on my choices!

The next couple rejects I’m grouping together because they have the same problem- improper lapel research. Men’s fashion, and more specifically men’s suits, didn’t change too drastically between the 1920s and the 1930s (esp. tuxes). Unfortunately as I’ll get into more later, people label vintage photographs incorrectly, or they get grouped into the wrong searches because they’re similar in subject matter. I was mistakenly referencing 1930s men’s suits instead of mid-late 1920s men’s suits. Luckily for me the most notable and important difference between the two is the lapel size- 1920s suits had very high, small lapels while 1930s suits had the opposite. So I just adjusted those to fix the designs, which is why the rejects look so similar to the finished products.

Click here & here to see the final lineups for Karl and Lars, as well as write ups of my choices for both!

Ahhh the ever lovely Miss Olivia... I had to fight her design more than all the others combined. My first issue was giving her full figure the fashionable ‘potato sack on a coat hanger’ look popular at the time. Lucky for me, she had a wider waist and rounder belly, so I didn’t have to work around an hourglass shape that is antithetical to the look.

Second was my own dumb fault! I was researching early 1930s fashion as well as mid to late 1920s fashion (the volstead act wasn’t repealed until 1933) and got too far away from the prohibition chic I was aiming for (partly because of people mislabeling dates). Here’s a few designs I loved but had to scrap for the purposes of this project because they were obviously from too late in the decade.

The first could be a 1920’s outfit if I shortened her bob, but I discarded this one on account of it being a bit too hum-drum for the character. She’s got a femme fatale vibe the was definitely killed by the muted grey and modest day suit. (I later modified this one into the houndstooth a-line skirt and black blazer jacket combo in the finished piece!)

I really loved this one! But the coifed curls and that neckline/bodice combo is much too 1930s to fit. I’ve kept the lines and I may color it later as a slightly older variant of the character from after the story takes place.

I’m really sad to discard this! I refed it from a gorgeous gown French actress Claudette Colbert wore in the movie ‘The Phantom President’. Even though the silhouette looked very 1930s, I referenced it because I just loved the vampy old Hollywood glamour vibe from it. I unfortunately realized later that I was right in my initial take on the design, as the website I found it on had mistakenly credited the movie as coming out 10 years before it actually did. So into the discard folder this went! Same as the prior design it totally fits Liv’s character so I’ll just keep it as a ‘10 years after the story’ design, because it would be shame to nix it entirely!

Click here to see Olivia’s finished designs and a write up about my choices!

And lastly (from my as of yet unreleased most recent lineup) I actually really like this design! It’s from the right era, fits the sepia tones I’ve been using for the working class characters, and breaks up the rest of his designs’ more fitted silhouettes. Over all it’s my favorite of his designs- but the reason it makes this list is its similarity to one of Mads’ designs! She also has a cream colored knit turtleneck over brown work slacks with a dark brown newsboy cap. When the weather is colder, she probably would wear a matching sportcoat over it, making her design nearly identical to his. Since they work closely together, I want some visual distinction between their designs.

In his final casual design I changed the shirt to be a classic long sleeved undershirt, which fits his character a bit better, solves the above issue, and gives a callback to his canon design (which uses the same collar design)

~~~

All in all this is a very fun project, but I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes and wanted to share my learning experiences and some of the designs I liked. I actually have a few more design ideas for Liv, Felix and maybe some of the others- as well as a 6th character to make a lineup for, so I may be adding to this post!
