one of my favorite things about 2024 was watching most of bruce campbell's filmography, which i used a lot of stills from as warmups through the latter end. here are twelve of them, for your viewing pleasure.

i had so much fun drawing these, truly loved every second. i listened to this album on repeat most of the way, it's so so good.

just wanted to say HAPPY NEW YEAR! and well, he doesn't have a tumblr, but i'd like to thank bruce for being my muse and giving me so many fun things to watch after the clock strikes midnight.

hope you all have a wonderful 2025 ^_^ and let me know which one is your favorite!

[cchickki]

longlegs was unsettling because those of us who have worked retail or food service have genuinely seen people come in and tweak out like that before

[ashyslashyy]

the great thing about a show like ash vs evil dead is that if you dont like a character theres a very high chance that theyll be dead in a couple episodes

[somefuckingcreature]

i dont really like any of the ena theories. i think its too early, since only the first chapter is out, and i think that trying to put some kinda sense into the general world of ena is BORRRIIIIING i like it WEEEEIRRDDDD. i dont think this game is meant to be understood. idk

[ghost-of-a-bee]

Ngl with my impression of the life on mars fandom before I watched the show I assumed the show was abt sam getting into a coma and possibly hooking up with some guy his coma mind made up

And not that that guy was like a freaking angel guide thing??? Like how are people in this fandom so normal abt this and can we please talk abt this more??

[rei-ismyname]

Ororo, how did you get here?

I wonder if we'll get a solid, in character explanation for why Storm would become a cop (Avenger) again. I'm writing an analysis on From The Ashes (so far) and while I'm clear-eyed about where most characters and books are at, I really need to know if they're even going to bother explaining why Storm would leave Arakko (oh yeah, there's still a million mutants on the red planet) and if they do to what degree. Sure she can just bail off screen but it'd be deeply out of character. She's a member of the Great Ring (or at least she was, occupying Magneto's empty Seat of Loss after she yielded the Regency to Lodus Logos.) She's the most impactful political and cultural figure in a generation. She was the leader of the winning faction in the Genesis War. She had a lover, who was caring for two orphans. I think they were living together. She was happy. I can't recall any ties to Atlanta, but it doesn't really matter. Without serious explanation she's going to look fickle, like she's shirking her duty. A duty she chose, too. Fought multiple wars over. She's getting a solo book, there's totally room to do it properly.

The other big ting for me is Magneto. The First Krakoan age put him through the ringer - his character arc was objectively given the most attention and subjectively the most satisfying. Even without Uncanny X-Men #700 he was poised to shake up the status quo but when you include his chat with Charles that's a promise. A promise that needs to be paid off. Not just any old promise either - it's an ideological breakthrough five decades in the making! He's been kept in the background so far and I haven't really been able to judge whether that promise is being kept or not. I hope so but my expectations are low. It would be such tonal whiplash I can't even think of an analogy.

Interestingly both Max and Ororo were Of Arakko last time we got a close look. Magneto died defending Arakko, he has friends there. He is literally one of the society's heroes for slaying Tarn the Uncaring and The Hour Of Magneto/Judgement Day.

Yeah, that's right. *AIR HORN* *PUMPS FIST* He cares about the Arakki and they care about him. He'd want to pay his respects to the Fisher King and generally see how it's going. He lost his place on the Great Ring when he died and Vulcan blew up his house, but neither are especially important. Both planet and culture are dear to him. After X of Swords, in that brief period when the Arakki were on Earth, it was Magneto meeting with Isca about teething problems. 'Twas Magneto who spearheaded the Terraforming Operation, handling the communication/logistics and harvesting enough iron to bring the planet to life from the Khyber Belt. While he was doing that, Ororo was fighting Nameless to the death for the Noontide Seat.

I could honestly go on, but my point is these two especially are invested. (Roberto Da Costa too, but it seems the New Mutants are represented by Magik alone and Cypher looking like an idiot.) If that continuity is disregarded I'm going to have a problem with it. Honestly, if Arakko is there and not being used in any stories I'll be scratching my head. How do you go from terraforming planets to hated and feared on Earth as anything other than a regression? The geopolitical implications of it being there pretty much break the world they're selling us. They're telling us it's so dangerous for mutants that they're developing secret hand signals and Underground Railroad'ing. At least some mutants would move to fucking Mars. All countries would be at Defcon 1. Did the entire galactic council just forget Sol exists?

I'll stop there, save some for the actual essay instead of the rant lol. If you're enjoying it I couldn't be happier for you. I am struggling to, though, and I'm very wary of heartbreak. Maybe that's on me for how I manage my expectations. We shall see.

HoA gang | Modern Day AU

Here is me brainstorming all the plot lines so bear with me

Salim Othman - Bookstore owner

A combination between Salims love for books and his love for sweets. He also has his radio set up so he can listen to his favorite radio shows (along some frequent visitors).

Jason Kolchek - Firefighter

Wanting to help people is what pushed Jason to pursue this career.

Nick Kay - Veterinarian

Nick is a naturally empathetic person so he is great with animals.

Eric King - Lab technician

Eric is very good with the technical side of things, and he also gets to indulge in his own set of experiments (which mainly has to do with mushrooms).

Rachel Tisdale - Emergency dispatch operator

Rachel is able to stay calm during the most stressful situations and give orders necessary to keep the caller safe.

Clarice Stokes - Doctor

Clarice is canonically a physician in game so it makes sense for het to be a doctor here. Her expertise lies in orthopedics (aka. Broken bones).

The relationship chart:

The main ships:

Jalim

Jason falls first. He gets introduced to Salim via Nick and now Jason swings by whenever he has the time with the excuse that he wants to buy some baked goods (even though Jason doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, and he is definitely not an avid reader).

KingKay

Eric falls first. Nick was the veterinarian to help take care of his dog (named Hericium Erinaceus after Eric's favorite species) and now Eric is teaching his dog "tricks" as to appear ill enough so he could meet Nick again. Nick does catch on pretty early on and he is the one to ask Eric out on a date.

Clarachel

Rachel falls first. Eric introduced Rachel to Clarice as his trusty coworker. Absolutely smitten, Rachel manages to convince Jason to break her hand with a hammer to give her a reason to (organically) meet Clarice again. Had it not been for Nick stepping in, all would have gone according to plan, but alas.

The main friend groups:

Jason, Nick and Clarice

Salim, Rachel and Nick

Eric, Clarice and Salim

speaking of voices. my accent keeps coming back when im manning the phone at work. usually between the hours of 4:30-6. but only on the phone. so it'll be, y'know, something resembling a southern accent (florida cracker variant) in like a treacle-sweet customer service tone and then an immediate turn to grab the ticket, mark the time, and tell my coworker my arms are itchy from the tomatoes with my voice dropped an octave and NO ACCENT. what the fuck am i doing
