truly i don't care who thinks it's stupid or boring or "doesn't count" or can't be as intense as what they think of as "real whump" or whatever else, whump with comfort and recovery and caretaker(s) is always going to be my style of whump and i'm gonna have a blast vibing with people who also enjoy that

i find it interesting how, during the intro to season 2, there is only a sliver of light shining on each character (sometimes alongside a spotlight, which is also rather direct as well) -- except for Jayce. every time he is seen, he is struggling against an immense amount of light, an amount too high in quantity to see without covering some or squinting. there is no sliver of light. instead, it is all of it.

I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on the more mature version of Scooby doo

i am of the vested opinion that a lot of the mature takes we've seen are more about the place of scooby doo in culture, and not actually all that invested in the characters and premise of scooby doo. from velma to the live action movies to mystery incorporated (if i recall correctly mi's showrunner has admitted on record he does not give a shit about scooby doo), there is no care in who the gang are as people within a fictional setting, as vectors for worthy storytelling in them of themselves. i think it's perhaps why the venture bros. parody of scooby doo, with the members being pastiches of american killers, works more for me because it has something broader to say about american fiction and storytelling, as most of that series does.

this is all one long preamble to say that i would merely continue my sincere investment in the characters and add in a dash of realism. the original show already takes place in the 70s-- which already raises an interesting question about why a character like shaggy is still a beatnik in-universe 20 years out of the 50s, as one example.

to delve a bit further -- i need to update my old designs for them, but i'd make the gang multicultural and of various identities as one way to introduce conflict rather easily. how would daphne move through the world as a black trans woman, for instance? how would fred, being an adoptee with a father in prison (taking influence from be cool and mystery inc here)? these are simply springboards for discussion-- but most importantly they are borne from an interest in the gang as complete characters worthy of introspection, whose stories are worthy of development as they are, rather than as means to satirize the innocence of childhood and the media associated with it. scooby doo as a franchise is well over 50 years old; it genuinely boggles me how we have of yet to see someone simply say "i genuinely like these characters; what would happen if i took them seriously?"

The good news is I know what needs to happen and I'm fairly sure there's a coherent draft in here somewhere.

The bad news is that I need to actually write the remaining things.

I just spent the past 2 days binge reading the entire darlington saga. I have fallen in love with them. You are a very good writer!

Just ya know, no big deal, live action footage of me every time I see this 🥹😭😭😭

Like I hope we’re across the globe sipping our coffee or tea together reading through this, thinking about love and loss and the passage of time. I’m real glad to have you aboard, friend, and just know we’ve got places yet to go and people yet to see so I’m excited for the ride.

i hate the phrase “protestant work ethic.” what is uniquely protestant christian about gaining worth through work? how is a protestant (a category which encompasses everything from the amish to anglicans; “protestantism” is literally any western christian denomination that isn’t roman catholic) more disposed to hard work than a catholic, or a muslim, or a jewish person? by “protestant,” do you really mean to say “american”? how about “capitalist”? why don’t you say this instead? it’s a dumb phrase.

which FE3H characters would have which animal ears and tails? Cat? Dog?

Sorry, but while I appreciate asks, lately they're genuinely too broad. I don't want to continuously think of the 30 or so students plus faculty to get an answer to an anon.

That said, on multiple times I've drawn Dimitri with cat ears/tail and I have the Ferdinyand AU+an emote on discord for him with cat ears. I also have drawn those two on my (now inactive) art blog with dog ears.

(That's all I got for this and I might not answer more huge asks like this openly. If I get non-anon I can at least answer privately and not clutter my blog.)
