al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1177

first posted in facebook april 8, 2023

abbott handerson thayer -- "my children" (ca. 1910)

"oh take care of all my children don't let them wander and roam take care of all of my children for i don't know when i'm comin' back home" ... kathleen brennan and tom waits

"life became all but unbearable for thayer and his wife during the early 1880s, when two of their small children died unexpectedly, one year apart" ... wikipedia

"when a child is lost there is no end to the self-torment a parent may inflict. when we love, and the object of our love is small, weak, and vulnerable, and has looked to us and us alone for protection; and when such protection, for whatever reason, has failed, what consolation (what justification, what defense) may there possibly be?" ... george saunders

"there are ... no words" ... al janik

Jason: *terrified, thinks he's gonna die* Bruce: *used to carrying Dick around like a ferret* small child. so small.

“horror movies of the 1980s exist at the glorious watershed when special visual effects finally catch up with the gory imaginings of horror fans and movie makers. technical advances in special effects (animatronics, liquid and foam latex) meant the human frame could be distorted to grotesque new dimensions on screen. 1980s horror movies delivered the full colour close-up, look-no-strings-attached, special effect in a way that previous practitioners of the art could only dream about. everything lurking in the shadows in older horror movies was now dragged into the garish light of day. the monsters were finally out of the closet.”

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

the fritter (frin critter)

[ghost-bxrd]

Stuck on the thought that Bruce tried to be a father for Dick, but Dick didn’t want one. He wanted an equal, someone to fight crime with. And consequently, Bruce drove him away with his overbearing nature.

And then Jason came to him, and of course Bruce had to do better this time. He didn’t want to lose another child Robin. Only he realized too late that Jason didn’t just want to be Batman’s partner, he wanted to be Bruce’s son.

((And with Tim he was too scared to even try))

Kay thanks s’cuse me while I go cry in a corner goddammit

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?

This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.

A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.

Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.

And then he just poofs away never to be seen again (hopefully his soul can rest amiright)

Last part to those two drawing of ghost child link guiding wild,,, I saw a reblog where it said he’d finally go home and that kinda destroyed me ngl

(I didn’t feel like drawing korok forest for this but that’s where this takes place. Right in front of the Deku tree.)

He’s just a kid man damn,,, also my time doesn’t speak in sign language but it somehow felt right here, so maybe he can’t talk as a ghost and has to? Up to u

Jason: You can't make everyone like you. You're not Leo or Piper

Percy: What? Not everyone likes Leo and Piper.

Jason: Who doesn't?

Percy: Well...

Jason: Names. Now. Give me their names

[the-great-papyru]

i think the thing a lot of papyrus takes get wrong is that they forget that, among other things, papyrus is funny. in my experience writing papyrus, i often find the most funny line is the most in-character one. an unfunny papyrus doesn’t ever feel like an accurate papyrus to me. it’s more than part of the game, it’s part of his character. and disregarding that is what messes up a lot of otherwise good impressions of him.
