Disgustingly messy and crusty sketch dump but I couldn't get my own terrible theory out of my head and ended up making a bunch of sketches about it. Also at the end a bonus dickbats and Damian doodle bc I was reading an issue of their Batman and Robin run (IDs in Alt)
#dc comics#dc#batfamily#batman#damian wayne#stephanie brown#tim drake#dick grayson#cassandra cain#duke thomas#anyway. zdarsky run sure is something huh?#its still so funny to me that half of 148 was leaked a few days before like someone has it OUT for that book over at bleeding cool ig#i don't necessarily think this theory will come true I'm just imagining how stupid it would be if it did#I'm not super happy with the dialogue in the cass+duke+dick comic but i felt my og dialogue might've read too fanon#mainly just bc cass' last sentence was originally shorter/just ellipses and duke said smthin like ''wait? villain arc?''#which you could easily find in wayne family adventures. even tho it would've been appropriate for this situation 😭#now the dialogue just sounds kind of generic (esp cass') and it's BOTHERING ME AUGHH. this is the comic book fandom panopticon /j#anyway Bruce is in the retirement home in this scenario /j#me n my friends were talking over discord and came up w the cursed scenario that jason is tims robin in this (apart of the 'redemption' arc#-that he's been nail gunned with in this run. god this run is so weird when it comes to jason. like it doesn't outright dislike him-#-like it clearly does damian and (more obviously) cass steph and duke) but the tone of everything w jason is still bizarre#god. anyway yeah i didn't draw him but please picture grown man tank Jason in the robin undies (ala tt 03 but dare i say better)#also the dick being silly sketch was bc the issue i was reading had damian refer to dick as 'jolly'#specifically like ''unreasonably jolly'' or something like that (god i love when ppl find dicks cheerfulness deeply unsettling hehehe)#and i thought it was so funny. bc damian met dick when we has going through his ''bruce is dead'' depression-#-and STILL thought that dick was extremely unserious. he sees happy dick and is like ''what is wrong w you. genuinely''#but at the same time he loves it#i need to stop reading their batman and robin run so scatteredly (or i can just reread nightwing must die...always a possibility)#anyway yeah 👍 bad sketches be upon you#mine

Dust's nightmare
Dust has nightmares about fighting and killing here and there, but the ones that really stick with him are the ones that are just... memories. Things he can never have again.
What he can have though, is a distraction when he wakes up to help him settle and make sure he's not alone with his thoughts for too long
#UTDR#UTMV#Dust Sans#Nightmare Sans#My Art#Truce au#Bad dreams comic#<-That's the tag I've decided on for these now#Bet you thought I forgot about drawing the rest of these >:3c#Well I did. but yesterday I remembered!#Dust was who I was going to leave for last since his is kind of different#He doesn't have an imaginary terrible scenario like Killer#He just torments himself with what he's lost#Not to keep pushing my Killer and Dust are the same but different propaganda but#Killer fears the future where he might lose his family#And Dust looks back in anguish at the family he already lost#But!!!!!! Boss is here#He has a book he picked out specifically with themes Dust likes#He is reading it aloud to get Dust hooked so he'll continue reading it himself instead of stewing in misery#And when Horror wakes up he will also help#He'll be fine I promise!! Pinky swear and everything#Speaking of Horror actually... he's next

⭐��places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta / tip jar!
#italian renaissance tag#i want to draw them hunting together but i realized i dont know anything about. hunting. wrt this context specifically#so that comic will have to wait until i finish reading this book on akhenaten. i gotta do Actual Research for that comic#but not until i finish reading about akhenaten#i should probably add mccall's making the renaissance man onto my research list instead of my fun reading list#i saw ludovico sforza mentioned in the table of contents and i do love the sforzas#tragically. you pay bills and suddenly $35 for a book feels intimidating. the economy & jobs market is in shambles etc#anway. the things i would do for a collection of sforza sibling letters all collected in one place and also in my hands Right Now#drawing tag

it’s really interesting that the common wisdom with regards to formal specificity is that novels can contain more per unit than films. and while it’s true that novels can more naturally or efficiently communicate a character’s thoughts and history and due to stylistic standards can fit a longer narrative into one unit than a 90 minute film, films actually communicate significantly more information than novels in sets, costumes, performances, editing, lighting, soundtracks, etc. and every piece of information in prose literature has an implicit significance to it that every piece of visual noise and every background extra in a film does not. which means that it’s SIGNIFICANTLY easier to effectively foreshadow a twist in a film than a novel—it would be incredibly tricky to make the sixth sense (1999) or vertigo (1958) as a novel, because in print form the devices used for foreshadowing would be so obvious that they either would have kneecapped the reveals, or they wouldn’t have been included at all. it would be clunky to surround madeleine with the color green in text (not that it would have had the same connotation outside of the film medium), and the little clues shyamalan drops throughout the sixth sense (1999), from actors’ eyelines to the positioning of furniture, are so rarely specified in narration that if the writer had spoken them out loud they would have flagged the readers’ attention, whereas in the film they could easily be an extra’s or a set designer’s choice and therefore slip under the radar. that’s not to say that it’s impossible in text!! obviously it’s not. but it is one area where film is far more suited to the device than prose
#comic books fall somewhere in between#because yes there’s so much visual information that readers might not notice it all the first time#but also if something is visible it’s specifically because the artist chose for it to be visible#so#ryddles

[just after having helped River make a getaway from a heist of an astatine lace shawl — the rarest substance in the universe — without her even needing to ask beyond a simple “hello sweetie” scrawl in the sky] [Eleventh Doctor] “I can see its worth — but Alice is right! What’s so special about a lace shawl?” [River] “Ah, well, lace, you see, is the traditional gift for a thirteenth wedding anniversary…” [Eleventh Doctor] “Wedding anniversary? Whose wedding anniversary?” [River] “Spoilers…!” *winks* [Thirteenth Doctor, reminiscing] “I love River.”

animatic i'll never finish
Book of Bill spoilerssss, cw physical/psychological torture
youtube
I also put it below the cut in case you can't/don't wanna click the link(s)
(also also if you wanna do something with this just gimme a tag, I wanna see fgshdj)
[Opening]
Credits. We see Ford alone in his house; in his study; walking down the hall; approaching the front door with a crossbow.
Don't mind the noise outside the door It's just a phantom, nothing more
Ford ducks his head out of the house, looking around for something he thinks he heard.
No need to give yourself a scare When you glance and no one's there
Once he's confirmed nothing's there, he shuts the door and sits up against it, breathing weirdly. Then, we see a Bill-shaped shadow moving around the room with him, though he doesn't notice.
I don't wanna have to hurt you
Ford takes a breath, then stands back up
It's not your fault, I felt his rage Just a child about your age
Flash back to the science experiment gone wrong, except it's wrong. Stan is actively ripping into the machine. The camera pans out to show it was Bill telling him this; the visions were in his eye the whole time.
But something drives me to this place I can see him in your face
Ford looks doubtful. He knows that's not how it happened, but instead of confronting the realization he was wrong about Stan, he chooses to keep it buried. He keeps going down the hall, towards the living room.
You'll never know the hell I've seen
He collapses on the chair, exhausted. His eyes slip close... then snap back open again. Uh oh.
Don't fear what's coming We can't fight off the urge inside
Bill, possessing Ford, basically prances through the house. He heads over to the secret door and punches in the code
It's dark and you're afraid of The devils that come out at night
He goes down the elevator, making it to the portal room. It looms ominously over him.
Let's make this easy
He pulls up all three journals and aligns them
Soon you'll haunt these beasts you hated
Bill is looking at Ford's six-fingered hand (the implication being he's talking about the people who made fun of Ford before)
No need for sleep tonight Sweet dreams are overrated
Bill pulls the lever, but the portal flickers uncertainly. He shakes his head, then heads back to the desk. He grabs sticky notes and a pen.
[Instrumental]
Ford wakes up in bed, finding a sticky note stuck to his face from Bill. He's confused, reaching up to grab it, and we see that his knuckles are bruised. Concerned, he gets up and heads to the kitchen. He makes himself a mug of coffee, downing it pretty fast, then glances back at his hand. It fades to a shot of the hand being bandaged up. Ford slips one of Fidd's gloves over it, then frowns, a mix of concerned and scared.
I'm just a whisper in the void No one's there, you're paranoid
At the diner, Ford is trying to order something, but he's clearly anxious. His foot is bouncing, and he keeps glancing at all the people around him warily.
I'm just a trick of your own mind
The people all become shadowy. They turn to look at Ford, yellow, slitted eyes gazing at him unblinkingly.
Blink your eyes once and you'll find I'm just a ghost inside your head
Ford slams his eyes shut. When he opens them, everyone is looking at him, but in concern now. it'd been a hallucination from Bill. Ford gets up as the waiter comes over with his order and guns it out of there.
Don't fear your fate that soon arrives
Ford's sitting on the floor of his study, hands on his head. He's breathing heavy.
It's a deadly lullaby
He looks up to see dozens of Bills watching him- drawings and other decor HE put there.
You'll be with us very soon Another spirit in the room
The bathroom. He's looking at himself in the mirror, noting the deep eyebags under his eyes. One could say he looks dead.
Take your place among the lost
He's alone. He's all alone and there is a demon in his head who wants him to end the world.
Don't fear what's coming
Bill again. He's possessing a bunch of zombies this time
We can't fight off the urge inside
Ford snipes him hell yeah
It's dark and you're afraid of
Ford gasps awake, finding ANOTHER sticky note.
The devils that come out at night
He slaps it on the bedside table next to a BUNCH MORE.
Let's make this easy
Ford pushes furniture in front of the secret door, even though he knows that won't do shit. it makes him feel like he's doing SOMETHING
Soon you'll haunt these beasts you hated
He downs an entire pot of coffee someone help this man
No need for sleep tonight
His heat has turned off. He's huddled in the living room, where puffs of air appear when he breathes- harder now.
Sweet dreams are overrated
He's fighting sleep so fucking hard right now
[Instrumental]
We see a montage, but centered around Ford as the camera spins around him. He's looking up, watching his world spin, then is falling. He catches himself on the kitchen table, downing more coffee. He stumbles back to his feet, before Bill circled around him. Sticky notes, sticky notes, sticky notes. There's hammers, the Memory Gun, the crossbow, various other weapons (all pointed at Ford), before the camera spins just right to point at Ford head-on again. Now, he's holding a VHS. He bends towards the camera and slips it into a VCR
You can't wake From this dream
Bill is taunting him. Ford grabs the edges of the TV in panicked anger.
No one will hear you screaming
Ford throws the VHS into a fire.
So hold on For the ride
Bill takes over forcefully. The world goes black around the two of them.
I'll take you with me tonight
PAIN. Pain, pain, pain. Ford falls.
This nightmare This prison
Bill floats in front of him, almost gloating, but moreso just upset
Inside the suits we live in
He grabs Ford's shirt collar and yanks him closer
Don't fear me Together
Bill suddenly lets go. He drifts backwards, throwing his hands out.
We'll have sweet dreams forever
Close-up on his eye. He looks excited to the point of being unhinged.
[Instrumental]
Ford sits bolt upright, hands immediately going up to his eyes. They're still there. He stiffens, sorta going numb. After a moment, he drags himself to his feet. He heads down to the basement, grabbing the journals and a postcard. He scribbles something down, then heads out. He drops the postcard in the mailbox, then puts Journal 3 in the ground.
Don't fear what's coming We can't fight off the urge inside
Bill in possession of Ford. He opens the front door and steps out into the snow
It's dark and you're afraid of The devils that come out at night
Ford wakes up, but he's on the roof of his house. He panics, falling to his knees to prevent himself from sliding off. He's breathing heavy, and finds himself pulling another sticky note from his coat pocket
Let's make this easy Soon you'll haunt these beasts you hated
Bill is holding a hammer. He positions a nail right above Ford's hand. He raises the hammer, then brings it down.
No need for sleep tonight Sweet dreams are overrated
Ford is holding his hand close, bandaged as best as he could, and he's shaking BAD. But, he's also tossing around a bunch of Bill-related shit. The bags under his eyes are designer.
Don't fear what's coming We can't fight off the urge inside
Ford with the crossbow. There's been a knock on the door. He looks wild and unkept. He grabs the handle and opens the door.
It's dark and you're afraid of The devils that come out at night
It's just Stan dw. Ford yanks him inside and checks his eyes.
Let's make this easy Soon you'll haunt these beasts you hated
They head downstairs to the portal room.
No need for sleep tonight Sweet dreams are overrated
Ford shoves Journal 1 in Stan's hands, and Stan gets upset. We know where it goes from here.
[Instrumental]
The fight starts, though it's portrayed in still images. Around them is the interesting part. We see Ford's initial deal with Bill, the good times, the laughs, the vulnerability, before it turns into the horror we know it as today.
(Sweet dreams are overrated)
Notes. More things from this animatic. Journal pages. TRUST NO ONE. It devolves into paranoid screaming, basically.
[Music box]
Stan shoves Ford into the portal. It's caught in slo-mo, with Ford assuming he's going to die here. After all, *Bill's* on the other side. This lasts about halfway through, before it snaps back to normal speed. Ford's gone. Stan can only look up at it, before reality snaps back. He runs to the lever, but he can't pull it. Ford's gone.
#HEAVILY inspired by the Sleep Walk animatic and the comic someone made of that scene from the book (the VHS one)#the book of bill#book of bill#the book of bill spoilers#book of bill spoilers#tbob spoilers#gravity falls#ford pines#stanford pines#bill cipher#tw abuse#cw abuse#tw trauma#cw trauma#you can tag this as b/f/rd if you want but i personally am not doing that ghfjsdka#also don't. don't romanticize this or anything k? thanks#not THIS SPECIFIC POST anyway#i'm down for toxic yaoi but this is VERY focused on the legit abuse in their relationship and i don't want that part to be ignored k? k.#dimond speaks#animatic idea#Youtube

i have a longer and more detailed version of this post in my drafts but i want to do a short one as well just to put it out there while it’s fresh in my mind.
someone may have pointed this out already since it’s a season 1/2 thing but i’m gonna talk about it anyway:
in s1 e1 will mentions x-men 134. which is interesting for a few reasons but i’m only really going to talk about one in this post.
in uncanny x-men issue 134 jean grey (one of the x-men) is being mind controlled by the enemies of the x-men. she has no idea what’s actually going on and she doesn’t recognise anyone. this, of course, parallels will being possessed kinda in season 2.
but you know who the one person she recognised was? the one person who helped break her out of this mind controlled state? scott summers, described by jean in this very issue as “the man i (jean) loved”.
and who’s the one person will recognised? the one person will isn’t related to who helped him break out of the possession just enough to communicate with them? mike.
look maybe this is a reach and just an excuse for me to make sttumblr listen to me talk about x-men. on the other hand maybe it’s more byler proof. truly who’s to say.
#stranger things#st#stranger things theory#byler#stranger things s2#ofc i’m oversimplifying the plot of x-men 134 a lot#if you aren’t familiar with it comic book lore can be. so fucking weird#also fun fact the enemies in this specific issue are called the hellfire club. this is not relevant but it’s fun#also there’s a LOT more in this issue that’s interesting but. that’s for my other post#i just got back into this fandom so i’m gonna be posting on this sideblog wayyy more#anyway this was the byler focused version of this post. there will be an everything else version soon

How Does it Feel to Read Classic Sci-Fi?
Orson Scott Card: Two of the most interesting books you’ll ever read if you’re willing to look past a handful of things. And then you find the planet of Chinese people who worship having debilitating OCD. And the Mormonism. And the fact that the author is wildly homophobic and ought to read his own books.
Robert Heinlein (or at least the Wikipedia Summaries): I guess that’s a neat concept—oh, it’s a sex thing. Um. Gotcha.
Ray Bradbury: Man, I gotta read this thing for class huh. Well here’s hoping it’s good! *three hours later* oh. that’s why he’s famous. this will stick with me forever and I will never look at the phrase ‘soft rain’ the same again. christ. And then repeat 3x.
Isaac Asimov: Wow, this is such an interesting concept! I wonder how the exploration of it will influence the plot! Wait, hey, are you going to add any characters? Any of em? No like, with character traits other than ‘robot psychologist’ and ‘autistic’ and ‘woman’? None of em? No, ‘detective’ isn’t a character trait. Those are all just facts. Aaaand now I’m bored.
Ursula K. Le Guin: Hah, get a load of this guy! He’s never heard of nonbinary people before. Lol, what a riot; how dumb do you have to be to comprehend that these people aren’t men *or* women actually? Oh, wait, what’s happening. Oh shit, it was about society and love and learning to understand each other? And now I’m crying? And perhaps a better human being for it??
Andy Weir: Alright, this guy’s a really good writer. Funny, creative, knows so much engineering stuff…ooh, a new book! …I guess he can’t write women. Well, he wouldn’t be the first sci-fi writer…ooh another new book! And it’s more engineering problem solving and—wow. It’s not just women he can’t write. Please stop letting your characters talk to each other.
Lois Lowry: Oh, I remember this being fun when I was a kid! Wouldn’t it be fucked up to not see color? …upon reread, it would be fucked up to have your humanity stripped away, replaced with a tepid, beige ‘happiness’ for all time. Yeah.
Tamsyn Muir (let me have this ok): Haha, “lesbian necromancers in space” sounds fun. Lemme read this. Oh wow, yeah, this is right up my alley. OH GOD WHAT. NO. FUCK. OH SHIT WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING AND WHY IS IT REFERENCING THE BOOK OF RUTH AND HOMESTUCK BACK TO BACK!!! AHHHHHHHHH!! Now give me more please.
#Late night book reviews with Bluejay#Not really#and it’s 1pm#If you’re curious which books#or just wanna read another essay:#Card: Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead are good* and the rest is Fucking Bonkers. Xenocide is the one called out specifically#Heinlein: Stranger in a Strange Land’s Wikipedia page but my understanding is it’s not the only book Like That#Bradbury: short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” will fuck your up; double if you check out the comic. See also “All Summer…” and °F 451#Asimov: I; Robot is the specific ref but also its sequel novels where you’d more expect real characters and not just fact lists also#Le Guin: Left Hand of Darkness specifically but also I just love her lmao#Weir: The Martian then Artemis then Project Hail Mary#Lowry: the only stuff of her’s I’ve read is The Giver Quartet but I was shocked how good it was upon revisiting. Damn. That’s pointed.#Muir: Gideon the Ninth and its sequels. They’re so good. Read them. You will be confused by book two. That’s on purpose. They’re so good.#Yes don’t come at me for my tag formatting; 140 chars isn’t a lot. You try getting all three Bradbury titles in there#Also the lack of commas is an issue#Anyways I would rec basically all of these if you like sci-fi save for SiaSL (haven’t read it) and all of the Ender’s Game/SftD spinoffs#Also if you do wanna read Card’s work pls get the books 2nd hand or from a library. Or via the 7 seas. His money goes to homophobia :(#But most of em are good and all of em are classics for a reason (save for Muir who really should be lmao)#Also also don’t come at me for including Weir; he’s one of the most popular sci-fi authors AND came up in the discussion that prompted this#As did everyone else except Muir because that one is actually just self indulgent.#I worked so hard to tag the first few things such that it would be clear there was an essay beneath the tag cut#Anyways tags for like actual categorization n such:#orson scott card#robert heinlein#ray bradbury#isaac asimov#ursula k. le guin#andy weir#lois lowry#tamsyn muir

(╥﹏╥)
#We've had our yearly secret santa gifts exchange at my dorm and I've been gifted the first volume of Beast 😭😭😭😭😭#I'm crying forever. This december marks three years since I've watched the first b/sd episode#and yet this is the first time I actually own a b/sd manga volume. Like I own it and I can read it whenever I want!!! How cool is that!!!!!#Like there's so many Akutagawa images in it!!!! It's insane!!!!!!!! AND IT'S BEAST AT THAT#I'm deeply moved because I never spoke about it to virtually anyone here (at my dorm)?#Like I suppose a bunch of people vaguely know I like anime but only a couple of close friends know I like. Like-like reading manga lol.#And the person who gifted it DEFINITELY didn't know I like anime in general much less b/sd specifically much less Beast in particular!!!!!#I'm 100% sure (they just arrived this year and we hadn't even had that much occasions to talk to each other).#Which means they went through the trouble of gathering intel from my close friends about what I like and actually follow through‚#seek for the specific manga in a comic store etc... It's such a nice gesture I'm so heartwarmed.#And of course I'm glad for every gift I've received in the last years (genuinely)‚ but the fact that this was the most *specific* to what–#I like. It makes it so special! They were so kind.#There must be one (1) person in this whole 60 people dorm who knows I like Beast–#(that would be the girl who introduced b/sd to me in the first place) and the fact that they asked them for it...#I feel both very grateful and lucky lol#When I unwrapped it!!! Like I thought it was just a random book which would have been nice but like!!!!!#When I actually saw through the thin paper the cover!!!! The scream I screamed in my head#Anyways!!!! I own a b/sd manga now!!!!! I've only got time to go through the first chapter so far but it's suchhhh an experience.#It's like reading it for the first time again 😭😭😭 Half because the translation is so much different than the English one lol.#And I basically know the English version by heart. Half because I never saw this kind of high quality!!!!! It's!!!!! Insane!!!!! Like!!!!!!#I'm crying 😭😭😭 The drawings are so sharp and crisp (in the good way). The lines are so clean there's no disturbance at all#I literally never saw anything so good in my life I'm crying a little. I'm so so glad they blessed me with Beast specifically#The takebon edition is pretty cheap (it's just planet manga so there's no color illustrations or dust cover or anything unfortunatelly.#But to make up for it the volumes are significantly cheaper then let's say J-Pop)#There's also some unique typesetting choices? The text from the book-like boxes is in lowercase which is interesting!#Initially I thought I wouldn't have liked the translation (opening it randomly there was Akutagawa saying “crepa!” (“die!”) to Dazai in ch1#Which was kinda jarring since it's very low register and everyone knows Akutagawa has very complex speech patterns.)#But actually reading it I'm really enjoying the translation so far!!!!#There's so many choices that made me grasp details I actually missed all the times I've read the English translation.#That is to say! Very excited to read it!!!! Will probably make a review / translation commentary if I can find the time!!!!!

i think it would be funny that kirby's only exposure to the kirby franchise was the anime, so when they tell him about the games his mind is blown, jaw drop reaction
i think it'd be funny if he played the games too only so he could randomly start doing the victory dance
#its his definition of zoomies#i did this so fast so ignore his chipped plastron being on different sides lol#this dance its based on the kirbys dream land game specifically#they found the 1992 game in the trash from the comic book store#relic fr#also fun fact#i actually know nothing about kirby (nintendo) and never played the games or know about the media at all. IM A FAKE KIRBY (nintendo) FAN#animatic#? i think it counts as one even if i did this in like 20 mins#my art#doodles#tmnt kirby#kirby#ask

watched the 2004 punisher movie yesterday with pixie and honestly i had fun 👍 some stuff was good some stuff was eh some completely irrelevant stuff made me mildly annoyed. but most of all it was funny and they had frank hang around with his tits out for multiple scenes so i mean how could i not have a great time tbh
#marvel#frank castle#the punisher#its also the movie that has the frame that i found like. on a wiki or something? and that pushed me down the punisher rabbithole#maybe im insane but i REALLY liked how frank looked in that movie. lost. confused. profoundly sad. bare chest glistening with sweat#whats not to like honestly. i also felt incredibly bad for thinking this the entire movie because im actually going. a little insane#like lately i just feel generally bad for liking frank in that way at all. as in both romantic and sexual. just. im sorry frank really#so the entire movie id hide my face in my hands every couple of minutes going 'oh god hes so hot im so sorry hes so hot im sorry'#what the fuck is this kid doing#anyway the thing i also liked on a more serious note was that the death of maria and his son was dragged out#because it like. like it kept going. and going. and with every second we both just felt this sense of like. dread and helplessness yk#like you KNOW theyre going to die anyway. and yet you watch them struggle and. its such a specific emotion#my least favorite horror story from a book i had invoked the same emotion in me but worse#and it was called sth like 'the torture of hope' so like. thats the best description i can give#also the thing that annoyed me for no reason was joan being blonde. why is she BLONDEEEEE#SHE JUST LOOKS LIKE MARIA LIGHT THIS IS SO. STUPID#also poor third neighbour but i assume in this movie he had the same role as in the comic (none) because its the 2004 one#i liked daves vibe. seemed like the type of guy my friend karol would have us smoke weed with on her birthday#and also he was just like me fr
