#a very skinny python

[bleaksqueak]

for the Halloween costume thing.... I keep having visions of willow in a banana costume. idk if that's anything but i keep seeing it when I close my eyes

also Lyra would go nuts w a spiderverse doc ock costume but it probably doesnt fit chronologically. I do think her costume would be some out-veil pop culture reference tho

Everything about this is so wonderful in every horribly great way... This is also the *second* request for Willow dressup i've gotten, so here's what i'm thinking. if I do a silly /cute picture, Weasel Fashion Week is definitely what needs to happen but if I do a more serious image, willow has to be there (and in the halloween spirit), because she's proven to be the star request. (Also you're right, Lyra has likely on more than one occasion dressed up as some pop culture outveil icon she loves and absolutely lived for the moment anyone might recognize her costume. One year that just so happened to be Barbarella. That was though probably before Audric....)

"Jackson's in Got7?" anon here. Cause I watched python, sometimes they show up on my youtube shorts. Well, I watched a video of people saying their favourite song of the band - with a cut of the music video of the song. And I can just say I had so many jpop flashbacks from the late 90s, early 00s. Their hair! Their clothes! How scrawny they are!! xD If you're bored, how about a quest? Would you be so kind as to find maybe your favourite gifs/looks/videos of Got7 from them early on? Hope that helps your boredom!!

Welcome back 'Jackson's in GOT7?' Anon! This ask will DEF help with my boredom. I'm not sure how far back is considered early on for them but I'm gonna try.

Right before their very first comeback, GOT7 released a couple of dance practices for their B-Side song 'I Like You' and they are filled with CHAOS! Everyone looks so incredibly young and they are laughing and playing throughout the practices and just having a good time. Also you can always hear their shoes squeaking on the floor and Youngjae singing over the track because his vocals are so powerful. This was in 2014 which was their debut year.

Stop Stop It Era. Most of GOT7 HATED this era because of the bad haircuts...BamBam and Jackson's haircuts were terrible NGL, but Jinyoung's emo boy bang, Youngjae's Blonde hair, and Yugyeom's pink hair really hit for me. Not to mention the styling with the 3 different sets of overalls gave 90s boy band which I loved! Also there is a point in the choreography that Jackson kept messing up and everyone clowned him for it. It really wasn't even that bad, he kept getting his leg placement mixed up. This was also in 2014.

If You Do Era was GOT7's first "dark bad boy" era. The styling for the members was very much punk rock and pop (lots of leather, skinny jeans, black, and printed t-shirts). It was a phenomenal era and the MV was fire and we were gifted some incredible footwork in the choreography. It was essentially them shedding their cute boy image and showing their manly sides instead. At least that's what they said lol. This was in 2015.

Umm Just Right Era was a Pretty Fun and cutesy era. It was most memorable for me because it was so vibrant and that was around the time BamBam's voice dropped and he had us all SHOOKETH! We couldn't believe it was the same kid. Also they really all seemed to enjoy that era and the message behind Just Right. This was also in 2015.

The Flight Log Trilogy was actually a fun time because we got 3 albums with some storyline and lore. There was a ton of imagery in the MVs and we really had a grand time breaking everything down. The title tracks were bops and we did get some good styling from the concepts. Departure and Turbulence released in 2016 and Arrival was 2017.

We also got this really cute video of them trying to sing Never Ever live while also trying to decorate a cake. They were WAY more interested in the cake decorating than the singing.

I have no idea when we started getting their little video interviews called Got2Day but I know it was old because Jinyoung was still being called Junior in some of them (OK the video is from 2016). But this one Jinyoung did with Mark was my fave. He was talking about how Mark was acting like such a gangster that day and he kept calling him an LA Gangster which is hilarious because Mark forreal used to get in hella fights when he was a trainee.

Okay this is starting to get super long so here are a few other styling eras I loved from GOT7.

Teenager/7 for 7 Era. 2017. One of their best eras and the album had NO SKIPS. I think this era was the era where they got creative control. They wrote and produced most if not all of the songs.

Aura and Not By the Moon/DYE Era. 2020. This was their most classically aesthetic era. Loved, loved the styling! Everyone looked like princes and I loved Jay B's long hair and BamBam's pixie cut.

Look/Eyes on You Era. 2018. 10/10. LOOK AT THEM! MY LOVES!

Adidas Lullaby Performance Video/Present: YOU Era. 2018. This particular performance video was just chef's kiss. Loved the way Adidas styled them and the whole black and white vibe was so clean. They also have an adidas performance video for Look.

Thursday/Call My Name Era. 2019. Thursday is like one of my TOP 10 GOT7 songs and this Studio Choom performance was the cutest ish ever. They all had on their boyfriend-iest outfits and they had so much fun this era.

OH WAIT Let me Include their HORRENDOUS teasers for their first comeback 'A'! Jinyoung was just recreating all of these a couple weeks ago when Python Promos began. They'd all like to forget it but they can't and I won't let them. This is from 2014.

WAIT ONE MORE THING! THE POSTER FOR THEIR KDRAMA CALLED DREAM KNIGHT! IT CAME OUT FOREVER AGO! in like 2015!

Okay now I'm done! Okay as you can see I can go on and on and on about them lol. This has truly been fun.

Guardian lore for my babies!

Kele (Tallis’s guardian):

-She has a waspish body with large, grotesque eyes and a skinny, long frame

-Her voice is low and garbled; grating on the ears

-She adopted Tallis on an impulse, but then didn’t really know what to do with him. She gave him trinkets and instruments to play around with, but generally expected him to be independent and wasn’t around much. It’s not that she hates Tallis or anything, she just… didn’t realize it would be such a commitment, so she ducked out of it.

-Unlike many of the contestants’ guardians, she really wasn’t involved in show business before Tallis, but the draw of fame when others commented on Tallis’s talents hooked her to the idea. Tallis became an instrument of her own glory, and she got to be hands-off in the whole process.

-Overall not a well-liked figure amongst other aliens, making Tallis even more of an underdog than he already would be coming from such a mundane background and little to no official training before Anakt Garden

Sonii (Cas’s guardian):

-Large, shiny, and scaly, with a python-like head an a solid body.

-Intimidating but not generally volatile personality-wise

-She’s a breeder, one of the best there is. She is known for producing physically appealing and vocally talented humans. She receives a lot of profit from their successes and sales, as people will pay top dollar for her product.

-Always wearing a lot of jewelry

-She treats all of her humans well as long as they do the same for her by fulfilling their duties.

-Originally purchased Cas out of sympathy, seeing the beauty underneath his beaten figure. She sent him to Anakt Garden to receive his training, then used him as a stud for years due to his good looks and favorable qualities. Once she got a few good “litters” out of him, she let ALNST have him with some melancholy feelings, as she’d grown quite attached.

-Well-respected among alien society.

Iquia (Himei’s guardian):

-Imagine a roly poly bug, but all white with two extra antennae and a constant sort of slime sticking to its skin. That’s Iquia.

-As far as aliens go, her curiosity for humans leans more on the side of wanting to care for and admire them than experiment on them. One of the good ones, you could say.

-She’s made fun of in some circles for her compassion for humans, and respected in others.

-She adopted Himei and Hayate to care for them, cultivate their talents, and watch them grow. Once Himei was sent to Anakt Garden, Iquia missed her terribly, leading her to get another female pet human to take her place.

-Didn’t want to send Himei to Anakt Garden but was sort of pressured into it. Hayate was almost sent, but got to stay by the skin of his teeth.

-She coddles her “replacement” pet, Halo, and takes her with her everywhere like a purse dog.

-Well-meaning, but sometimes misses the mark

Nabos (Kyo’s guardian):

-Medium-sized body with a flower-shaped head.

-He has a sort of accent that’s different from many other aliens that all of his pet humans pick up on. That accent tends to be quite popular among fans. (Kyo has the accent and Cas ribs him for it.)

-He raises several pet humans at once, usually 5-7. Once they’re old enough to be sent to Anakt, he sends them if they’re talented enough—usually an average of 2 of them make the cut. If they don’t meet his standards, he sells them off and gets a new batch.

-In fact, he purchases many of his pet humans from Sonii! They’re good business partners.

-Of all the guardians listed, he has the most fame and fortune, but he always hungers for more.

-Despite sending so many contestants to ALNST, he has never won a competition. Strangely, his humans tend to make it either to the semis or the finals and lose at the very end. Other aliens in the show business call it Nabos’s Curse.

-He has no negative or positive feelings towards Kyo—he’s just one of many failures.

I just wanted you to know that I absolutely adore Fluffy!!!!

I was wondering if Fluffy has a canon species? Or if Fluffy is just Fluffy. Fluffy's face is very ball python and her colors seem to imply a blue eyed lucy, but her body is too skinny and long while still being a visibly healthy weight to be a ball python. The proportions are almost cornsnake-esque, but blue eyed lucy hasn't been discovered in corns. It is present in Texas Rat snakes, but they don't have as pronounced of a jaw/head shape versus the body, and there's definitely a puppy snoot on Fluffy that Texas Rat snakes don't have.

Apologies if this sounds like a critique or something, snakes and reptiles are just one of my special interests, so I love seeing them portrayed positively in anything and seeing such a beloved snake like Fluffy makes me very happy, even if she is just fantastical!

Please let her know that I love and adore her and I think she should be allowed to have as many of the biggest and tastiest rats that she wants as a treat because she deserves it.

Oh my, this is truly such an interesting topic, thanks for sharing! At the moment, Fluffy is just Fluffy (I very rarely draw snakes and I didn’t go into detail, I just wanted to draw a cute snake and therefore relied on photos of different species). But we'll think about it more! :'D

[starleska]

Ok, spill the beans about this Mad Mod blorbo of yours. Gimme the details

aaaaaaaa!!!!!! oh my gosh yes yes yes thank you for the opportunity i would love to gush about him - and hopefully get some other people interested 🙈🙈🙈 prepare for an infodump!!!

this is Mad Mod, real name Neil Richards: a brilliant, stylish villain, and an iconic enemy of the Teen Titans!! now, Mad Mod's been around for a while, first appearing in Teen Titans #7 as a fashion designer-turned-smuggler working on Carnaby Street, and later with a more hipster design in the New 52 DC comics. however, the version you'll see me yelling about most (and i think that most are familiar with) is the Mad Mod from the 2003 animated Teen Titans show (see above) 💖

Mad Mod is very much emblematic of his name: he's a crazy British bad guy whose aesthetic, interests and personality are influenced by 60's Mod culture. he speaks with a pronounced Cockney accent (voiced by Malcolm McDowell, who you may know as Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange), dresses in trim, fashionable, Mod-style suits and other outfits (e.g., military parkas), and is an extreme Anglophile: believing British culture and values (ostensibly Mod culture, but also Britain and/or England as a monolith) are superior to others. his original beef with the Teen Titans is their lack of manners: Mad Mod believes them to be poorly behaved, and in need of 'teaching' and 'correcting' (please make no assumptions about me or my taste from this 🙈).

i think Mad Mod is fascinating for a lot of reasons, with the first being his incredible technological capabilities. you see, Mad Mod is not technically the young man you see in the image above: he's actually well past middle-age, but is capable of constructing high-tech illusions using gadgets, robots and screens (shown to be controlled using his ruby-topped cane, which he is quite proficient with!). in Teen Titans, Mad Mod is first shown projecting this younger version of himself as a hologram in a constructed, confusing labyrinth which mimics a school. behind the scenes, Mad Mod - physically an old man - is using this younger version as an avatar to torment the Teen Titans. however, later on Mad Mod devises a technology which allows him to steal youth from other people. in the episode Revolution, Mad Mod steals Robin's youth, reverting his own physical form to a younger version - confirming that the Mad Mod we see in his debut episode is how he looked when he was younger: the skinny, suited redhead with the pretty smile 😉

a lot of people will remember Mad Mod for one thing: the hypnosis. a big gimmick of Mad Mod's is his use of custom-built hypnoscreens: large screens which play repetitive spirals intended to hypnotise and/or brainwash the observer. his goals expand beyond just trying to hypnotise the Teen Titans into being more well-behaved; he later attempts to brainwash them and the entirety of Jump City into believing the American Revolution never happened, and that he is actually their English king. with regards to his love of Britain and England, Mad Mod is...not particularly well-adjusted, and i'm saying that as a Brit 🙈💖

a lot of people are very taken by the unique design of Mad Mod's episodes - specifically his chase sequences, which contain fun references to popular British culture (like Monty Python and The Beatles). taken to be an avant-garde extension of the giant illusions he builds, Mad Mod's style borrows a good deal from 60's pop art, and uses stark, black-and-white imagery with noticeably different rendering than other characters and backgrounds. it's honestly really cool!!! you may recognise a similar art style used in Across the Spider-Verse with Spider-Punk, AKA Hobie Brown 🔥

everything about Mad Mod is explicitly British (particularly English), but his view of Britishness and correct behaviour is both out-dated and extraordinarily narrow. i theorise this is because he never quite reconciled with growing older and the Mod subculture going out of style...he's obsessed with regaining his youth, and despite being The Most British Thing Since Austin Powers, he continues to live in America and push a very odd, caricatured idea of Britishness onto other people that is unique to his worldview. as Cyborg sums up neatly, "Man, I bet even real British people don't like you!"

but, all of that lore aside - you came to know why Mad Mod is my latest blorbo!!! well...just look at him 🥴 he's capital e 'Evil' with a penchant for tying people up and absolutely no respect for other people's personal space 🥺💖 he also has that attractive combo of being abrasive and degrading, whilst also being soft and elegant. not to mention he's a total goofball;;; there's nothing i love more than a villain who's having a great time, and he is having a blast 🙈

you know this guy is Tumblr Sexyman material too: the suits, the cane-twirling, the crazy powers...who cares that he's actually a grandpa? sexualising old men is a national sport on this website 😂 on a physical level he hits a lot of beats for me...gangly, bespectacled (with tinted lenses!!!!!), ginger and crooked teeth??? man 😳😳😳 it doesn't help that i've already had a handful of f/os who are meant to represent a specific decade/style/etc, one of whom is literally Austin Powers;;; my taste is terrible, but consistent 😂😂 all in all, please visualise little cartoon hearts coming off my icon whenever you see me posting about this freak 🥰🥰🥰 if you're a lover of silly villains too, the DCAU is a great place to look!! shout out to my pal @iriso-page for sending the fateful ask that triggered my fixation in a cascade 🙈 thanks so much for sending this in - hopefully this causes a couple other people to check him out too 😉

2, 3, 12 and 22 for Mika and Natsume please?

Only if you're up for it. I know you're dealing with a lot of asks rn

worry not brother im enjoying myself, ill keep doing these as long as people wanna send em!!

2. favorite canon thing about this character?

mika - hes retained his street urchin vibes even after having been in valkyrie for so long. i really like this because it would be so boring for him to have taken on valkyries image full time and changed the way he presents himself when hes not on stage too .

natsume - ohhhh where do i even start . i love his personality , hes so unique and bizarre he genuinely feels like someone i would have been friends with in middle school .

3. least favorite canon thing about this character?

mika - its a lot better than in ! era but i wish hed take more agency over his thoughts when theyre challenged . hes very quick to agree with other people . hopefully hell get there someday

natsume - i really cant think of anything .... i guess i could stand to see him be a little more open and honest about what hes thinking a bit more often

12. whats a headcanon you have for this character?

mika - he likes playing flash dress up games !! (lets assume the devastation that was the 2020 flash shutdown didnt happen in enstars )

natsume - he knows html javascript and python and he makes little mobile games (he also knows objectiveC/swift but fuck ios and their stupid exclusive coding language)

22. if youre a fic reader, whats something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you dont like?

im not a fic reader so ill do this for visual art instead

mika - i like when people draw him w a little fang . ik he has this in canon but when ppl make it more obvious its really cute

natsume - i LOVE when hes drawn with slit pupils like a reptile , its so cool and really lends itself to the otherworldly air he has about him as well as suggests hes a little bit devious , which he is

edit: i forgot to mention something i dont like woops

mika - i dont like when people draw him scrawny. yeah sure hes a skinny little guy but cmon man hes had access to 3 round meals a day for years and with both niki and ibara in cospro and shu looking out for him theres no way hes getting away with eating anything less than that. and hes an idol . all that jumping around on stage has gotta count for something .

natsume - sometimes people make him tall ????? and its like ??? its not a crime but WHERE are you getting that from

Can you read sheet music? I used to be able to. I could point out a few notes, I think.

What’s one food your family has at Thanksgiving? I hate nearly every single thing I've ever had at Thanksgiving, so I don't pay attention. I literally like honey ham (but not the way my sister's MIL prepares it) and the rolls. That's it.

Do you like painting? Actually no, it stresses me out. I took a class in college and I hated that erasing isn't a thing (yes, you can dry and paint over, I don't care, that's not an immediate fix), and it stressed me out that we weren't supposed to sketch, either.

What’s the name of your pets? Roman, Venus, Cookie.

What’s your Chick-fil-A order? I only really eat there if it inconveniences those around me if I don't (like, so they don't have to go to two places), and in that case, I just get the normal sandwich and fries. I try not to support Bigot Bird.

Regular or pink lemonade? Pink.

Chinese or Japanese cuisine? Chinese, I guess, by default. Any Japanese I've tried, I didn't like.

Do you own a pair of Crocs? No, they're absolutely hideous and I've also slipped on Mom's just to step outside for whatever reason and I find them extremely uncomfortable.

Does anyone in your family have a birthday in February? Me, my niece.

What’s your Taco Bell order? Steak and cheese quesadillas with fiesta potatoes, normal Mountain Dew.

life as an econ major: first impression

17.09.23

so here's the thing, the school year starts tomorrow but i still don't have my exam results... so am i actually gonna start my masters this year? who knows. i guess we'll find out tomorrow.

but the info session for this program took place on friday so i went despite the fact that i still don't have my results. and here's how it went.

so first we had a big info session for all the masters programs at the economics and management faculty. and there are like 5 different programs, we were about 50-60 people id say. the session was quite boring bc it was mostly for people who are new to the university overall. so they just like explained all the administrative stuff like how to sign up for courses, what moodle is, etc. so i didn't learn anything new. and i looked around to see what kind of people study economics and management. and i really felt out of place. idk, maybe it's my "not like other girls" syndrome or idk what. but i really felt like i didn't belong. contrary to what id imagined, it was mostly women. mostly my age and older. a couple of people in their 30s-40s too. but mostly like yeah, girlies in their mid to late twenties. dressed in skinny jeans. and michael kors bags. all with straight or straightened hair. the vibe was very much french, no offense... and the few guys who were there were also very french. like skinny jeans and hair that's like shaved on the sides. it was giving tiktok fuckboys circa 2020.

then we were split up into our different master programs. and our group only had 11 people. 3 guys, 8 girls. mostly foreign and like half poc. so there was me, a girl who just moved from spain who worked for this like eu organisation in paris, an indian girl who did econometrics and maths, a hijabi girl and a moroccan (?) girl who both did their bachelors here, a guy who just moved from lebanon, an asian girl who did international relations here, a girl who's doing a second masters, and a guy i went to hs with who studied in exeter. and that was quite awkward cos he came up to me like "heyyy you went to [school name], right?" and i was like ummmm who are you. and he was like "yeahh we had german and maths together". and i had no idea who he was. and then he said his name and that also didn't ring a bell at all. i was like bro i am so sorry.

so yeah, the head professor explained how the program works, like how many credits you need, what classes to take, etc. he was very cool and i started to get more enthusiastic about doing this actually.

and then we all had drinks in the main hall and i talked to the spanish girl, the 2nd masters girl and the high school guy.

and yesterday i looked at my schedule and registered for each of the courses on moodle. and... had a mental breakdown...

because it sounds like my worst nightmare.

first of all, im gonna have to write essays. i haven't written an essay since high school. i don't know how to cite. i don't know how to read either tbh. like how do i read a paper about economics?? i don't know what any of it means.

i looked at the syllabus for every course. and none of it makes sense. i don't even believe in inflation. like isn't inflation a deviantart fetish? and wtf is gdp. like.

secondly, 60% of the grade for these courses is group projects. again, i haven't done a group project since high school. it terrifies me. like. the responsibility of working with people. is terrifying. and you have to make a powerpoint presentation and write a paper. in a group! like.... how???? i don't know how to do either of these things.

and for the elective courses i was like okay im gonna pick the maths ones bc there's no way in hell that im gonna choose to write even more essays. but! the maths electives that i have are all programming! i don't know how to code! you need to know python! and like how to do like time projections and shit. ive only done matrix multiplication on matlab in like the first semester of my bachelors. i fucking hate computers and matlab was hell, i didnt undertand any of it, it was my worst grade. so how am i gonna do python?

another thing that sounds like absolute hell is coursework. in maths it was easy. you go to class (or don't, up to you!) and you have an exam at the end of the year and that's your grade. but here you have papers to hand in every week. and graded homework. and presentations. my lazy ass is actually gonna have to work throughout the year. i thought about it yesterday and cried.

anyway, studying economics sounds like a neurodivergent nightmare.

and okay i thought id stop there but!!! the topics that im gonna have to write papers on... y'alll.... i don't give a shit about the economic impact of russian sanctions like

how do i give a shit ????

and i looked at the first problem set and at first i was like oooo maths! looks familiar! but the thing is, i can't read. like whenever i see a word problem my brain just makes the internet dial up noise. wtf does this mean???

i showed it to my stepdad and he was like "huh that's easy, that's just cross multiplication". and guys. you don't understand. but i don't know how to do percentages. i don't know how to solve first degree diff equations. i can't do basic maths. i can only prove theorems on abstract topics and that's it. 2+2 i don't know her. what the fuck is a growth rate. like. i can't read.

fuck. i am so stressed.

Nasana with a reader with big thighs >:)

✩⋆ﾟ𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 / 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒: Nasana

𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒: ahem as someone skinny but with big n squishy thighs, this should be fun to write hehehe-

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: suggestiveness, biting, 16+

. * ⋆ . · 　. NASANA

✭ Nasana has a thing for your legs without a doubt. In the same way that you're fascinated by his tail, he's fascinated by your legs - especially your thighs.

✭ when he cuddles you, half the time he will quite literally pounce on you and you can't get away because he's already coiled his tail around you, slipping it between your legs to wrap around your thighs and squeeze just enough to feel the squish of your soft flesh.

✭ prepare for some of the strangest cuddle positions because if this naga isn't resting his head on your lap, he has his face in between your thighs just to feel the softness and warmth of your thighs against his cheeks while his arms are wrapped around your legs and his tails coiled around your waist once or twice to hold you in place.

✭ bites. Lots of bites. White-lipped pythons are very nippy and so when he has his head on your lap - or more often than not in your lap - he likes to sink his fangs into you and clean you up by lapping his long, forked tongue against the loving bite until the two of you will get up where he will properly clean it for you.

✭ sometimes it feels like he's just doing it to tease you when you feel his cool skin pressed against the inside of your thighs, his slow breath fanning across your skin and yet he makes no move to do anything, he's just enjoying the warmth of your thighs and the way they squish around his head and under his hands. But, in reality, he just really likes your legs.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

Oh, do you know another scene I'm thinking about for your Human! Daemon AU

It's in Deus Ex Machina in the first introduction to meeting Breakdown where him and Bulkhead are already duking it out along with their Daemon.

Then Miko runs up trying to help by grabbing onto Breakdowns Daemon. Holding one of there arms and trying to tug her away.

Being like "I got her"! to Bulkhead Daemon.

Mind you these are both very buff woman and Miko barely reaches their chest.

So imagine a young skinny arm girl trying to hold back a python armed brawler.

And every ones like at her like "What"?😕

Breakdown’s daemon takes one look at Miko and immediately gets pissed at Bulkhead’s daemon for bringing a kid to battle. That’s a new low! She does, however, admire Miko’s guts. Not everyone is brave enough to try something like that.

tuesday again 9/20/2022

it's been a minute since i gave a refresher on what the fuck these posts/this series is. not bc anyone was a dick lately, i just think it's good to insert handy entry points into a long-running series on occasion. i think this post where i read a whole bunch of pulp detective fiction is most representative of the series as a whole (and is one that came together in a very satisfying way/one of the entries i am happiest with)

what the fuck this is

this is an incentivized way to get me to listen to new music, read something, watch something, play something, and make something every week bc if i do a variety of enrichment i am noticeably better able to cope with uhhhhh Life. it's also a way to curb some of the perfectionism bc there is a hard fucking deadline every week.

what the fuck this is not

this is not a critical series, nor is this a recommendation series, although there are elements of critique and you may decide to consume some art based on my description of it. i cannot legally or physically stop you. this is more of a journal than anything else.

elements i have in the back of my mind when i draft these things on sunday afternoons include: what's the pitch for this thing/what is it? does it accomplish the artistic goal i think it's trying to make? a work can be beautiful, and i can recognize its value and be glad it exists in the world and also hate it, so do i personally like the way it does or does not accomplish its goals? how did i find out about this work? lastly is it sick as shit?

listening pretty boy by poutyface. i get kind of excited when i hear a song that objectifies a Type of Guy bc i feel like there's maaaaybe one of these for every hundred thousand that objectifies a Type of Girl. it's now on a playlist i call "SOMEBODY COME FUCK THIS (GAY)"

this is alt/indie, for the scene in a mid-aughts high school movie where the alt girl is falling in love with a skinny nerd and is driving around suburbia thinking about him. lyrics remind me a little bit of Doja Cat, and i was gratified to find an interview where she's cited as inspiration bc i like being right

To be honest, I've been gunning for the girls So if it's gonna be a boy, it's gonna be a boy who twirls All that "bro" - got me bored, yeah, I've seen it all before But, I've never seen a boy dressed up in pearls

the other thing stuck in my head is Guilty as Charged by Moderator. this whole album is super fun but my favorite track is this one, slinky and danceable. my weakness is a song that samples an unexpected source (here i thiiiiink Monty Python and the Holy Grail?). here this review says it better than i can:

...eclectic taste in sounds and influences and thirdly his firm belief that using breakbeats and a dusty jazz sample doesn’t automatically require you to turn in a 70 bpm stoner groove....Wish I Was Dead picks up the pace pitting fat mid tempo drums against Cab Calloway-ish jazz samples before Guilty As Charged drops a huge Wiseguys-style Latin-influenced breakbeat bounce.

both these are off the spotify For You playlist, bc i did a lot of driving for work last week and didn't really have time to make a custom playlist.

reading continually fascinated by things pushing the limits of 1) electronics miniaturization and 2) crime. it's extremely unlikely you'll run into one of these puppies in real life but they are fun to think about in a semi-horrified fashion

this is half the height of a united states dime, btw. if you even care. BOY do i love a gadget.

watching i watched the s/andman. i have a lot of thoughts about the s/andman. this is more me working through a lot of thoughts and feelings than actual thoughts about the show.

i don't have a lot of close friends who are straight dudes. i don't have a lot of close friends who started out as straight dudes either. the one straight dude i was actually close friends with in 2011 in high school introduced me to the works of neilman and started by gently bullying me into reading these. i had an exceptionally bad time in high school, through no fault of this man. we also don't talk much in the current day, again through no fault of this man.

my thoughts and feelings about s/andman the product are therefore wrapped up in who i was and things that were happening in my life when i read the comics. the first time i read them, it was through trial and duress and many interlibrary loans in 2011. i made my dad buy me the first two giant omnibi editions over two christmases and lugged them around throughout college when i was moving twice a year and living out of suitcases. not my photo

reading these comics, with their nineties #representation, felt very revolutionary and daring in the republican suburbs of central jersey. they definitely started me on the way to unlearning a whole bunch of shit. however, i do wish neilman had continued being at the forefront of more and more interesting and daring #representation. i think you can enjoy all the shows based on his work, acknowledge their source material was written decades ago, and be lightly annoyed with him (an extremely active and involved producer by all accounts) for not adapting them in a bolder way to these modern times.

a different but related thing: i really love the concepts of neilman's books but rarely their execution, even though i think he's a perfectly fine prose writer. i enjoy heavily referential and allusive works bc i feel really smart when i catch a reference. i like feeling smart and well-read, even though i personally find most of the references in the comics to be name-drops rather than like, putting the name-dropped thing in a very different context and imagining it in a different context to give it new meaning. to be fair this is a very difficult literary device for me, an amateur, to execute. idk

the actual show: the s/andman is excellently made, very competent television that knew when to deploy its cliffhangers. this feels like a backhanded compliment but i don't know how to phrase it different. i think neilman is a far better television writer than a prose one. i enjoyed watching it! it was fun to watch! the performances really carried a lot of lines that are very silly in print! i'm not going to remember very much of it by next week. i am particularly irritated by the current-day meta around the show (specifically the co/rinthian, bc i think ppl are reading in a lot of things that simply aren't fucking there), but at the same time i do not care enough to go looking for more meta. these transitions did whip tho

my thoughts and feelings about neilman's specific body of work in this one setting: a land of contrasts

-

playing fallow week

-

making nothing more than wiping down new acquisitions (some board games, a mirror). wrote a bit about my concept of literary/film/artistic criticism while trying to work through my thoughts about the watching section. this post would have been fucking unreadable if i had all that in this one post and both of them individually are really stretching the limits of attention here on this webbed site.

ppl have also been asking for the masterlist of cowboy movies i enjoyed so here's that again. the notes are crucial to your understanding of my thought process

[blue-shiver13]

The skinnies

Headcanons!!

Spy: cis-het(questioning in the past) who came from a rich family he inherited everything from. He has intense paranoia from being a child in France during ww2. He began spy work very young age but enjoyed it. He genuinely cares for scout but hates expressing his care and is a little afraid to do so. He’s around 45. He can sing actually kinda well.

Scout: cis-het baby man with “clinically” (done by medic) diagnosed ADHD. He’s 1/2 French, 1/4 Italian, and 1/8 German and 1/8 Irish. He’s best friends with sniper and sometimes goes hunting with him (though he scares most of the animals away by being loud). He loves He grew up in lower-middle class suburbs right outside of the big city in Boston. He’s just shy of 27. He’s a pro air guitar player and wants to learn how to play the drums. He’s a big fan of Monty Pythons Flying Circus and steals some of his jokes from it.

Sniper: cis-biquestioning (though he leans towards women, specifically one he could have a hard time winning a fist fight against) and has undiagnosed anxiety and depression, he also has a ton of mood swings. He’s 5/8 English-Australian, 2/8 Greek, and about 1/8 Italian with a small amount of Aborigine in the mix. He thinks of Scout as a little brother since Scout ends up annoying him a ton. He’s about 28-32. He can play the tenor sax and some bass guitar. He’s a big fan of horror movies and The Twilight Zone, he’s tried to watch horror movies with Scout but Scout chickened out every time. He’s a big Moody Blues fan.

Character dynamic headcanons!!

Scout & Sniper: Bros for life. Sometimes they sit down together and listen to records (though it takes some yelling from Sniper to get Scout to shut up). They like to go hunting together and are all around best friends!

Scout & Spy: constantly at odds, they will only work together if they have no other choice.

Sniper & Spy: They can’t have a normal conversation without telling each other how much they hate the other. They do have a very small mutual tolerance of one another but would kill the other if it had no  repercussions. Sniper highly disapproves of how Spy (didn’t) parent Scout and Spy (most of the time) regards Sniper as human scum, equating him to his more deranged coworkers. To make it short, they don’t get along.
