Do you remember N.M.H. and O.T.C And reading aloud from magazines? I don't know about you, but I swear on my name they could smell it on me But I've never been too good with secrets, no

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)
It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
Bonus:
#My art#One Piece#Nico Robin#Sir Crocodile#Y'all the OP brainrot is BAD#According to an SBS Crocodile would absolutely spoil his child rotten if he had one. *We all know how Robin's childhood went*#Scary mofo who does not know how to parent a child but boy does he have the spirit + Child who has never had proper parent in her life#They'd make. An absolute disaster of a duo. This AU concept is so fucking funny to me okay#But also sad because I would fucking die for baby Robin she deserves the fucking world#This poor girl has never been spoiled in her entire life AND NOW PAPADILE IS HERE TO SPOIL HER#You know it's funny. I know 11 yo Robin should LOOK older than 8 year old Robin. But Crocodile is a fucking giant so she's still baby sized#Also I just had too much fun drawing Robin looking as pathetic as humanly possible lmao#She's a like a wet kitten in the rain 😭

Paroles En Français 2024-01-28
Dieu bénit la lumière du jour Ces heures chatoyant d'ensoleillement Je me souvien quand tu étais le mien Dans une ville douce et suburbane Quand chaque jeudi Je prenai ces rues de montagne Et tu laissais tes classes du mâtin Et nous avons apprendu comme nos corps fonctionne
Dieu damne la nuit noire Avec tout de son révélations Je deviens ce que j'ai toujours haï Quand j'étais avec toi, alors Nous avons eu la semblance des géants Dans l'arriere de ma petite voiture gris En fouiller pour faire contact Pendant les autres ont dormi à l'interieur
Et ensemble là Dans un nuage de gel, l'air montagne a commence passer À travers tout les carreaux de verre érodé Et je t'ai tenu plus proche Que n'importe qui autre sera jamais

How Does Music Shape Our Memories?
I didn’t freak out about turning 35. I know this blog’s absence for a week and my protestations seem to prove otherwise, but I promise. I was really okay about turning 35. I don’t know why I’m using past tense because I am still okay with my age. But, that being said, I think the greatest part about my birthday was the day after, when I felt 15 again. I know there’s already been a plethora of…

Músicas que mencionam ou fazem referência a outras bandas em suas letras (e que eu acho incríveis), parte 1:
youtube
Death Cab For Cutie - We Looked Like Giants (2003)
Na referida canção, o Ben Gibbard faz referência ao Jesus and Mary Chain nos versos: "do you remember the J.A.M.C and reading aloud from magazines?". Certamente uma música autobiográfica. Imagino que o Ben Gibbard escreveu essa à luz das memórias de alguns de seus romances colegiais. Tem até uma versão folk do Ben Gibbard tocando essa música ao vivo em algum evento em Washington DC, em 2007. Acredito que está no youtube, dê uma procurada lá.
Uma curiosidade é que quando o DCFC toca essa música nos shows, geralmente, o Nick Harmer, baixista da banda, assume uma das guitarras. Isso me leva a crer que ele é o compositor de algumas linhas de guitarra dessa música. Ah, inclusive, eu conheci o Jesus and Mary Chain por causa dessa música, olha que incrível. Música do disco Transatlanticism (2003), do Death Cab For Cutie.
youtube
Pavement - Range Life (1994)
Na canção supracitada, o Stephen Malkmus faz referência direta ao Smashing Pumpkins nos respectivos versos: "out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins / nature kids, I, they don't have no function / I don't understand what they mean / and I could really give a fuck".
Tal citação rendeu a maior treta entre o Malkmus e o Billy Corgan, que se estendeu na mídia durante anos. Reza a lenda que o Billy Corgan até brigou pra tirarem o Pavement do line-up da edição de 1994 do Lollapalooza, informação esta que ele alega ter sido criada pela mídia pra fomentar um conflito desnecessário e que ele nega de pé junto até hoje.
Quando você pensa nas alfinetadas que o Billy Corgan deu no Pavement ao longo dos anos, fica um pouco difícil não acreditar nessa história da tentativa de boicote ao Pavement no Lollapalooza.
Logo ali, em meados de 2010, ao descobrir que tocaria num mesmo palco que o Pavement na edição do Planeta Terra que ocorreria em São Paulo naquele mesmo ano, o Billy Corgan não mediu esforços ao usar o twitter para fazer comentários maldosos, chorar suas pitangas e expor seu ressentimento pelo Stephen Malkmus.
Na ocasião, o frontmen do Smashing Pumpkins disse o seguinte: "Descobri que o Smashing Pumpkins irá tocar com o Pavement no Brasil. Vai ser um daqueles típicos funerais de Nova Orleans". Como se não fosse suficiente, ele continuou: "É engraçado como estes que apontaram um grande dedo de “vendidos”, agora são os maiores infratores…Eles não tem amor”. É ressentimento ou não é?
Aparentemente, o Billy Corgan não gostou muito de ver sua banda sendo mencionada de maneira "maldosa" ou desajeitada na música do Pavement e contraiu um rancor absurdo por conta disso. Em outro momento, o líder do Smashing Pumpkins até falou que é "impossível se apaixonar e morrer de amores pelo Pavement". Ele não poderia estar mais errado.
Acredito que o Billy Corgan transformou a menção feita pelo Malkmus em algo muito maior do que realmente é. O famoso "pegou ar", como diriam meus conterrâneos. Como vi num comentário há algum tempo na internet, eu acredito também que o Pavement apenas tirou um nome da cartola como o Weezer fez ao mencionar o Green Day em uma de suas músicas, é como reservar um lugar. Essa treta toda tomou proporções absurdamente desnecessárias, como consequência de um acontecimento muito menos denso e ofensivo do que aparentemente foi.
Ainda na mesma canção, logo após mencionar o SP, o Stephen Malkmus faz uma citação bem mais ponderada e até elogiosa ao Stone Temple Pilots nos seguintes versos: "Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors / they're foxy to me, are they foxy to you? / I will agree, they deserve absolutely nothing / nothing more than me". Respondendo à pergunta do Malkmus: sim, os STP também são sexy pra mim. Ótima música do disco Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994), do Pavement.
youtube
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Jenny & The Ess-Dog (2001)
Por último, porém, não menos imprescindível, o Stephen Malkmus realiza uma menção direta ao lendário grupo de rock britânico, Dire Straits, através dos seguintes versos do refrão da canção supracitada: "kiss when they listen to 'Brothers In Arms' / and if there's something wrong with this, they don't see the harm".
O "Brothers In Arms" é um disco de 1985, do Dire Straits. Quando você escuta o disco depois de ler esses versos do Malkmus, as músicas ganham um significado diferente e passa ser mais interessante escutá-las se você estiver envolvido numa trama tipo essa criada (ou descrita?) pelo vocalista e principal compositor do Pavement, nessa parte específica da música.
Música bonitinha demais do disco homônimo de estreia do Stephen Malkmus com os Jicks, de 2001. É impressionante como o Malkmus acertou bonito nessa, como em todas as outras músicas que fez, tá de parabéns. Aparentemente, o músico gosta de mencionar suas paixões e influências musicais nas letras de suas músicas.
Vou trazer mais músicas que retomam outros artistas e bandas em outros momentos. Aguarde a parte 2 deste belíssimo garimpo musical.

And together there In a shroud of frost The mountain air Began to pass Through every pane of weathered glass And I held you closer than anyone would ever guess

Redrawing a plastic man panel for funsies and also to reacquaint myself with csp/perspective rulers/PERSPECTIVE IN GENERAL in preparation for the giant graphic novel that looms ahead of me. Did I go overboard with detail even though realistically it's one panel that a reader would look at for a second at most? Yes. Yes I did.
#look at woozy all cozy on the plas hammock#i bet it's like sleeping on top of a giant heat pad#they're so married tbh#there's multiple instances in the comic where we see their domestic living situation and it's CUTE#okay real tags now#plastic man#patrick eel o'brian#woozy winks#jack cole

cannot stop thinking about an AU where Bucky gets the same treatment as Steve (ie. serumed and vitarayed.)
So he shoots up to 6' 8" or something ridiculous and is built like a brick shithouse. To everyone else he's almost Too Big, but to Steve it's just like being small again while Bucky is ...Large, and Steve is permanently flustered about it. 😳🥺
#bucky: hey stevie you're not unnerved by how big I am now are ya?#steve: *sweating* n- nO#bucky: *casually leaning giant forearm on steve's shoulder* hey is your asthma coming back??#steve: *panting/wheezing* I'M FINE 🥵#bucky: heheh I'm so big now I bet I could pick you up and spin you around like we used to-#steve: bUCK PLS 😭#bucky barnes#steve rogers#stucky#fic idea#see also: ppl meeting giant bucky and being like 'oh they called those toys bucky BEARS? 😨 yh. yh makes sense'#bucky being self-conscious about his new size finding a dance class full of other non-skinny/average ppl to blend in#(discovering he is now catnip to dancers who want to be made to look teeny & delicate and also flung about like hula-hoops)#steve's extreme protectiveness of bucky being IN NO WAY diminished...#...by the fact that bucky is now a head taller and wider than steve in every direction#alpine looks like a tiny fluffy kitten in his giant hands and ppl are like '???' when she comes closer and is a full grown maine coon#bucky volunteering to test extra-stretchy pants designs for bruce for when he hulks out#being like 'damnit I ripped them right up the crotch again these ones are a wash out' while steve is like 'ohhh nooo. that is. terrible.' 👀

God damn the black night, with all its foul temptations I've become what I always hated when I was with you then We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact Fumbling to make contact as the others slept inside And together there In a shroud of frost, the mountain air Began to pass From every pane of weathered glass And I held you closer Than anyone would ever guess

Hello world, meet Ken-lexander 😂😂😂
I honestly don’t even remember how this came up in conversation with @kitn-underfoot but @lucentbliss blessed us with drawing it and for that I am forever grateful.
He is once again stuck in an oversized Barbie garment with no pants.
