#be brave be bold be you

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

Celebration 🍻

I asked my followers on IG what prompts they'd like to see drawn for Gelftober and Gurjin & Rian were requested often! I loved to draw these two goofballs just having fun 🖤

I desperately need non teen titans fans to know that we didn't come up with fab five. The Fabulous Foursome is what Dick, Donna, Wally, and Garth were called by the narrator when the team got properly started in The Brave and the Bold and Showcase. Roy was the fan pick to join the team through voting and thus the title "fab five" was born.

They're not just fabulous to the fans, they're fabulous canonically.

the all new batman: the brave and the bold #1

[ID: several cropped internal narration boxes from Batman between different panels of him and Superman. Together the boxes all read, ‘Other than Robin and Alfred, Superman is my best friend. Some people are surprised by that. Because our styles are so different, people assume we wouldn't get along. But they're missing the point. When I'm with someone like Green Arrow, we're so similar that we feel like we have to compete. But Superman and I have different strengths. We complement each other.’

The first panel, underneath the first narration box, is Batman and Superman shown from the shoulders up as they both smile. Clark proposes, ���How about this—I'll explain any Kryptonian customs. You analyze the clues.” Bruce adds on, “And we'll watch each other's backs.” Clark responds, “It's what we do.” The second panel, after three narration boxes, is Batman diving to knock Superman out of the way of a fatal blast. The third and fourth panels, after the last narration box, is after Batman solved the Kryptonian mystery and Superman just saved Bruce's life too. Bruce thanks him for the save, leading Clark to simply dismiss, “No problem. It's what we do,” as he puts his shirt back on. Bruce tells him, “Yes. It is. I suppose this means that, even without powers, you're still Superman.” Clark grins and responds, “And that you're another world's greatest detective.” Bruce quietly grunts at the compliment and tells him, “Let's get out of here.” END ID]

Wednesday Wisdom!! 💜🖤💜🖤

Every shape. Every size. Every accent.

Every smile.Every curvy woman.Every thin woman.

Every color eyes. Every color hair. Every straight-haired woman. Every curly-haired woman.

There is nothing more beautiful than YOU, just as you are.

Stop limiting "real" women to one thing! We come in ALL shapes, sizes, colors, personalities and every one of us is beautiful.

Never forget it!

I don’t feel like learning how to draw brave and bold Batman

[hood-ex]

Hear me out. We take the newest versions of AU Dick and Jason and split them up in main universe. Dick has to look out for AU Jason while Jason has to look out for AU Dick.

Dick can't get over the fact that AU Jason is only, like, 6 and keeps trying to hold his hand. Jason can't get over the fact that AU Dick keeps stuttering and calling him "sir."

Alfred might not be able to hear what Boston has to say, but he knows. Also I am like 90% sure, he's contemplating if a Ghost can be scared away from his son with a shotgun or if he needs to pull out the nth metal.
