thoughts on deadpool and wolverine ?

My friend bought us front-FRONT row seats so everyone in the movie ended up looking like handsome squidward from that angle but that being said it was so much fun!! Marvel movies often feel stale and mass-produced for the average person, but this movie was FUN and felt like it was made with comic/ old school Marvel fans in mind!!! And FINALLY getting an r-rated Marvel movie was so so good, it really made showed what the other Deadpool movies were missing

MK: "I think Gabe fell in love with you. He was so-- he was like, 'this guy is incredible.' I've never seen him so in awe of another human being as he was of you doing your Paulie Tahoe thing!"

Ryan: "It was a big moment for me, as a Little King. To have a Big Prince like that notice you, and be into you... it was important."

question: how can you adore elia when she’s barely a character?

we do not know enough about this character for her to even have stans.

stanning elia is illogical at best, completely delusional and very concerning at worst.

because what even is it that is being stanned and adored? your self insert?

The Mario Movie may not be perfect, but it single-handedly squashed the ‘Bad big brother Mario’ narrative that has been prevalent in the fandom for years and for that reason alone it deserves to be nominated for an Oscar.

Every once in a while I like to relisten to Diabolical to remind myself that RnS's source material is the silliest thing on earth.

There are a lot of things I'm thinking after watching the Alex Hirsch interview but a lot of it really is how much I appreciate how much I have learned about storytelling and emotion and how much of that was through GF. I'm sure most of the people who were around back in the day aren't here anymore, but there was a theory called Grunk4Gramp that arose in the hiatus after NWHS and before ATOTS. It was essentially that, since we knew Stan had stolen Ford, (god, he was still Stanley at the time)'s identity, that Grunkle Stan was the twins' grandfather. And I don't remember my exact opinion at the time but then when the "Shermie's grandkids" line and the fandom exploded again. I don't remember exactly when I realized that, yeah, that is a bit of a sloppy solution, but emotionally, yeah. It can't be Stan or Ford because that would retroactively make one or both of them really, really bad. It would be heavy and super complicated to cover in half a season. And then hearing Alex literally say that, practically word for word, just makes me really happy.

It makes me think more about just the prevailing attitude of "oh they're geniuses they must have had a plan for everything!" level of deep scrutiny. Which like, honestly? Fair. Most of us were in high school or younger. GF was a show like no other. It encouraged this kind of behavior. In retrospect, the moment that started falling apart for me was when a lot of people were so deeply insistent on the slit pupil maybe-still-possessed-Bipper thing after NWHS that I just... It's like Grunk4Gramp. What kind of storytelling would it be if Dipper wasn't making any of his own decisions? What would we even gain from the story then?

Being a creator is very difficult. Even as creators, we often forget that people who make things are still human and make mistakes. We sometimes forget that things can't be perfect and shiny and are just going to be good enough. We fight for those emotional beats and sometimes it'll make something inconsistent. Or sometimes something will fall a little flat. Or sometimes something will fall really flat. And that it happens to everyone, even creators we really love and respect. The best we can do as people is fight for the story we want to tell, not filling every plot hole and demanding an answer for every little thing. It's fun to be the second -- god, don't I know it. It is SO MUCH FUN overanalyzing things, ask literally any of my friends -- but knowing that something being complicated and intricate doesn't mean its good and vice versa.

Anyway I just really respect the GF crew and how much they put into this show, even now, 12 fucking years later. I really respect and love the fandom and all the wild shit that came out of it. My main creative project right now wouldn't exist if it wasn't for an offshoot fandom of the GF fandom, which is really a weird thing to say out of context. I just miss it.

oh also I found this on my blog while trying to find grunk4gramp things and lmao

Do you think princess au Lilith feels immense guilt looking at Hunter and how he would do transparently do anything and sacrifice everything for Luz, even as the unfavored child? Whereas Lilith was in a similar spot and all she ever did for Eda was curse her forever

YOU KNOW WHAT. I HADNT THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BUT THIS IS SUCH A BANGER INTERPRETATION U WILL PROBABLY SEE IT APPLIED TO FUTURE FICS

big fan of lilith feeling vaguely uncomfortable and anxious and maybe just the tiniest bit resentful about hunter and luz, without being able to quantify to herself Why. she definitely has a similar resentment toward hunter as her canon self & i can ABSOLUTELY see that being rooted in "oh, so you're the perfect sibling, you do everything right, the princess just LOOOOVES you, as if it's soooo fucking difficult to entertain a CHILD, you've done SOOOO much for the castle" while, like. having absolutely no idea how to entertain children herself & being the kind of person who'd throw hands if asked to babysit.

yeah that feels good. feels organic.

Writing fanfiction is such a weird experience. Like of course you're writing it for yourself; You want to read that story that no one else is going to serve you (Goddamnit), but part of the thrill is sharing it with someone else.

And writing about a completely unknown side-character couple, in a dead fandom, is not going to scratch that itch. Plus doing an artsy fartsy exploration of expressionism/high anxiety/slowly healing your trauma by going to therapy, arch will probably not attract any new readers.

(Oh but there will still be smut. Of course there will still be smut)

I’ve always loved the idea that Peach is taller than average while Mario is shorter than average. 5’6” plumber falls in love with 6’0” princess. Then they meet 7’4” space princess, eventually. Mario and Daisy(5’5”) have short person get togethers where they plot to find out wtf the tall ones have been hiding on the top of shelves or cupboards.

Hi, I wrote another crack fic because why not?

Simon Eriksson: Just Some Guy From Biology

The girls in Simon's biology class are obsessed with Wilhelm, but they seem to have no idea that Simon is dating him. If he finds himself in a study group with them... well, he's only having fun. There's no harm in that.

or

Simon is a little shit, but it's a whole lot of fun.

I started writing this months ago, lost it, and then finished it last night. Dani beta read and edited it this morning, and now we're here. Everyone go give Dani (@the-navistar-carol) love for putting up with this shit.
