#but i wish there was a variety

[sukibenders]

Me when I search for [insert fandom character] x poc reader: Hi, can I have-

Results: SMUT, SMUT, ROUGH, SMUT, KINKY!

Me: No, I just want something that has fluff, or maybe even angst.

Results: Okay we have one- but it ends in smut.

Me: How about one without any smut at all?

Results: Good luck with that. Next!

Rolin Jones on IWTV s3 (going forward) and POVs:

"Everybody’s free to judge the rest of it. If all goes right, we’ll have six or seven more seasons to work on you coming around to that, or the redemption of that. [In season one,] the audience wants to kill Lestat along with Louis and Claudia. But we had to sit on it for a year and a half. So it’s okay for people to think that we made a supervillain out of Lestat and then to come around to a fuller portrait. In season three, [Lestat is] front and center, and Jacob takes a supporting role. And it’s not all about point of view. We got 80 to 85-percent of Lestat pretty solid. Retribution is easy, right? It’s being contrite. [There’s] the idea that forgiveness should be part of this cycle, too. That’s something I think we’re trying to sell." "So, what am I interested in? I’ll be less interested in point of view and memory as much. The challenge of the books is that there’s not a lot of forward story. I don’t think that you can probably mine the arcs of those for origin story after origin story after origin story. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take the same material and in very inventive, exciting ways move it forward."

And:

“The big difference moving forward is Lestat will be front and center telling the story, so it should feel like this show has been taken hostage by Lestat,” Jones says. “Aesthetically, it is going to feel different. It is not going to feel like two old guys in a room trying to figure out what brought them together. It is going to be over the shoulder of Lestat de Lioncourt, of whom you have probably seen about an 80%-accurate version of who he is — on fire and reckless. So it should be fun and dangerous.”

would love to see what you have to say on the life-drawing! it's always so interesting to hear what other artists have to say on their skills and journeys, and there's always more to learn in this world, a fact which i am forever quite fond of

THIS MIGHT BE CONTROVERSIAL BUT while I don't think drawing Curly in a good-ending AU with prosthetic limbs + face graft that reduces his scars to an absolute minimum + hair (??? toupee???) is inherently ableist, because like. I sure as fuck wish I had the money to access private healthcare and get all the mobility aids I would ideally need in a perfect world...

I do wish there was more art of Curly post-series in a 'happy' ending where he still. Looks. Very much like a full-body burn survivor???

You don't have to 'fix' his face and give him back his hair to create a 'happy ending au'? And it's kinda fucked up that people presume otherwise?

Given everyone's precarious financial situation, chances are, he is NOT affording top-notch prosthetics - and hand prosthetics aren't anywhere near as good as you might think!

Just... more art of happy-ending Curly in a wheelchair without face grafts or hair maybe???

Why does him having a 'happy' ending have to end with him having minimal facial differences and hair and new super-expensive fancy fully functional prosthetic limbs, when that is in no way realistic?????

idk just something to think about lmao

[icewindandboringhorror]

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

[thepatronsaintoffilth]

absolutely blows my mind that we got megan thee stallion's Hiss, kendrick lamar's 4-part assassination of drake AND hbomberguy's plagiarism video* all in the first half of 2024 .... what does the latter half of this year have in store? (watch this post either age beautifully or like milk 2 days before the expiry date)

*i know it was the Dec 2023 when hbomb's video came out, but I usual count whatever happens at the end of the year as a herald for the next

post ep 5 - SPOILERS

okay okay okay i think billy yeeted them out of the road. we see jen clawing up from the dirt in trailer footage, i think billy just chucked em back to westview. i don't think he's quite there at murder yet, seeing his last conversation with agatha, which? slay king. as a witch and practicing pagan, love him. "no, not for me" you take that negative energy and turn it right on its fuckin head sweetheart. but also please for the love of the gods don't get carried away, don't commit murder, your father would probably have a stroke even if your mother would sit there yelling you're doing great sweetie!!

also i think the reason why rio wasn't there in the last scene was bc she was collecting alice's body. now i'm imagining her walking out, seeing billy standing there alone with lighting coming from his hands and a scarlet witch crown like

[pallanophblargh]

I have a lot to do and not enough energy to do it just yet, thanks to holidays and a backlog at work. Have I always been this tired, or have I forgotten? A riddle to solve in this new year. (No idea how i survived the last one aside from being a vertebrate cockroach)

Anyway, I still don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to Linocut, so I need to walk myself through the print process like I am a toddler. At least the plate looks nice at this stage?

Hopefully I can get back to regularly sketching at the very least. It’s been a journey.

I think what might actually help the families of trans loved ones is to actually engage with where the trans person is at - especially if the family isn't quite understanding yet. When I came out, I was completely alone in figuring out my manhood. I had peers and I had exposed myself to so many trans people who explored gender, and while it was amazing, it isn't quite the same at times. I grieve quietly, sometimes, about all the missed opportunities that might have just made it easier for my family to have seen how utterly happy I was. It took them a very long time to actually notice that I was happy, especially once I got on testosterone. I'm lucky that they saw that happiness eventually, and slowly accepted it. My manhood is completely detached from their influence, both to my relief and chagrin. It's sad to me that I learned to shave from a kind online stranger, somebody who didn't even have a father and yet, I do. I have a father. I grieve at the loss of a potential shared experience. I grieve about the pain I went through when I was in that stage of transition, especially because it was raw and vulnerable. I grieve that many trans people today are traversing the path I had to, because it's sometimes lonely (even when you do have other forms of support).

It's hard to know that I will never have gotten my sense of being from my family. In many ways, it has severed a lot of connection with them because there were so many times that I was begging them to see happiness when they were focused on the idea that I was almost in a state of purgatory - flesh which felt warm but held no familiarity to them. I don't harbor ill-will toward them, I hope I don't leave the impression that I despise them. I understand what they felt, even if I can't conceptualize it myself. However, it's a raw wound in my heart, and I don't want to leave anybody else feeling that way, either.

Sketched a little Monad Charity House’s troublemaking duo in my sketchbook and decided to try inking and coloring it 💙 Carlo and Romeo 110% caused mischief together

I love the new textures of Wish finally going away from hyper-realism, the designs look lovely and storybook-esque, and we seem to be getting a fun villain, but I'm hoping the vibes of Wish is just a bad trailer.

Is it just me or have the past couple of female Disney protagonists had very similar voices and expressions? It's very hyper, optimistic, exaggerated awkwardness in Rapunzel, Anna, Moana, Judy Hopps, Young!Raya, and Mirabelle.

Their respective films do distinguish them, but the same character energies over and over again are a bit monotonous. It'd be cool to see more variety in expression eg. withdrawn, outgoing, chill, angry
