“across the Spiderverse and Nimona are the best animated films of the year” wrong. they are the best films of the last FIVE.

Start respecting animation as a legitimate art and film form or die by my blade

(this isn't a question about the best p&p adaptation ever, it is simply which you prefer OUT OF THESE TWO OPTIONS since they are the two most commonly talked about and compared!!)

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

imelda was from the get go supposed to be the femme fatale but that makes her quick marriage to lance even more important to me

the femme fatale is often characterized as a someone that draws the detective into a mess of shit that usually gives “self destructive”, and originally this is set up to be hunch as her connecting detective but LANCE MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE

hunch has his own arc, the detective taking himself more seriously, a detective who makes himself known and finally gets proper recognition. meeting imelda didn’t ruin his life, nor does he revolve around her storywise.

so imelda hits all other femme fatale beats and doesnt Need a male counterpart but we also get TROPES!! she, a wanted woman who is known to the police as a mad-woman who turned from an honest life to crime, meets a police captain (basically stand in chief of police currently) and immediately smooth talks circles around him. lance questions his boss, his job, and his life to chase after this sudden Excitement that he hadn’t allowed himself. literally, brennan says that lance has never felt so Alive.

imelda, the true version of femme fatale, finds her cynical and disillusioned “right side of the law” man, lance, and immediately they run together. then we learn that lance’s concerns is the reason that copper is so easily found in mentopolis doubling down on the “morally ambiguous” trope. she doesnt look at lance and go, actually dont be so wary of everyone, she (because she is impulse and because of how aware she is of the situation they are in) connects to him on his need to just Act.

imelda pulse is such a good femme fatale character and her moment with lance has lived in my head all this week. i cant wait to see how fast this marriage falls out once elias is no longer in that all or nothing space, though trauma, maybe they will stick together for a little longer than any of us are ready for.

today when our nation celebrates its 78th independence day, a woman wonders when would she be free of the constant fright of her safety.

One of the best bits of taskmaster is when Greg states a method of doing the task which is clearly not going to work and say “but surely nobody will do that right?” And it cuts to either several people with their heads in their hands because they know that they did indeed do that or just a clip of someone fucking up in that exact way

day five of repostober is old art! this is a ttrpg character from my vampire the masquerade game-- his name is candle and he's very sassy, very flirty, loves to perform, and lives in a van with his rabbit, brooklyn. he used to live in nyc with his husband back in the 80's when he was still mortal, but, well, you know. shit happens.

he's a stripper by trade (and is extremely good at it.)
