"just as I did, in 1983."
you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable
#my art#interview with the vampire#iwtv amc#iwtv#armand iwtv#daniel molloy#armand#armandaniel#devils minion#drew this before the finale but idk maybe this is during the unspecified amount of time between armands divorce and daniels press tour#the titian painting doesnt fit at ALL with the timeline btw#i THOUGHT it did bc i assumed 1508 was when armand was turned into a vampire BUT upon reflection thats more likely the year he was born#and even then the painting was made in like 1510 so fuck me i guess. also im foggy on when armand was taken to rome#idk man i havent read the books and i failed art history on two separate occasions i cannot endeavor for accuracy#anyway as much as i love 70s/80s devils minion i have equal love for old man daniel#his cynicism has been tempered by time... refined like a diamond... he dont gaf and bullies his loser vampire and its hilarious#like ''sure yeah fine all these old italian renaissance guys saw ur ethereal otherworldly beauty but literally anybody can see that''#''IM the only mf who gets to experience the incandescent joy of seeing you be a messy idiot''#sidenote trying to make armand look unflattering is impossible u can blame the show for casting the worlds most beautiful man

i don't care that joe biden is old and tbh, i don't actually think the media cares either. they just want trump back because him sucking makes for easier clickbait
#text only#politics////#i hate saying this because it makes me feel like a conspiracy theorist#but with the nyt acting like a jilted lover#and the head of cbs having said that trump was 'bad for the country but good for ratings'#forgive me if i'm a little cynical!#the 'joe biden is old' post

You know, it would be amazing if Hollywood learned the right lesson from the success of Nimona. Something like "Hey, maybe don't throw out a nearly done movie as a tax write off" or "people want queer stories" or even "don't be afraid to take some storytelling risks and be original" but you just know they're going to come away with some absolutely batshit takeaway like, "next time delete all the evidence and burn it to the ground so the gays can't make us look bad!"
#sorry to be cynical on main but all I can think of is instead of watching this and being like wow we made a huge mistake here#disney is just going to be mad because of how foolish this made them look#bc corporate america always learns exactly the wrong lesson#honestly hope I'm wrong and this humbles them and they do better#but also I am a realist#anyway go nimona kick 'em in chip and dale's nuts#nimona#nd stevenson#netflix#disney#oscar nominations#oscar nominee#hollywood

"Sacrifice the Yourself" (title pending), the hip new slay the princess swap AU, in which you and the girlies must decide if you're gonna let a giant bird stab you (and maybe.... find love?!)
#one of the images aren't loading and it is making me very sad. le sigh.#art#slay the princess#stp#the shifting mound#stp narrator#stp razor#stp spectre#stp prisoner#i wanted to include my idea for how the long quiet/the voices would show up in this au but my mind said 'no <3'#i also am not sure who our 'voice of the hero' analogue would be -#im thinking a) the stranger#b) either soft or cynical princess (whichever is the opposite as what you're playing as-#so if you take the knife it's soft and if you don't it's cynical)#c) the shifting mound herself#or d) there isn't one and it's just the princess#narrator would instead discourage you from taking the blade since it makes it look like you're going to fight your fate#i think if you just let yourself die and don't question anything you'd get damsel instead of spectre maybe?#im not sure how the ch 3 princesses would show up but i want my beautiful babygirl wraith to be there somehow

I actually do need all the angsty artists and writers to remember, ford is an optimistic person. This man is full of enthusiasm and whimsy. His love of all things weird is infectious. It's why he gets along with Mabel so well. Hell, it's why his autistic rizz manages to pull two bitches. His manic pixie dream girl energy is off the charts.
Think about how lucky we are. As a mad scientist, with a giant ego, who found it hard to connect with people emotionally, it would have been soo easy to write ford as cold, crude, cynical. Rick Sanchez or Dr House coded. I beg you, don't squander the whimsy.
#i dunno i just see ford as like#an enthusiasm tornado#he just blasts through and he doesn't notice how he makes people feel or who's heart he's breaking#i think writing-wise we were saved by stan who was already written as cynical and crude#ford has to be a foil to that thank god#and so thats why we got whimsical ford#gravity falls#stanford pines#billford#fiddauthor

Imagine telling somebody in 1995 that one day, Snoop Dog and Flavor Flav would both be beloved American icons highly associated with the Olympic Games. With Snoop acting as an official NBC commentator and carrying the actual Olympic torch in his 50s.
They would look at you like you were absolutely insane. What an incredible world we live in
#snoop has a rap sheet that includes arrest for drive-by gang rivalry murder on the streets of LA#and now he’s carrying an olympic torch and doing commentary on the women’s fencing event#flavor flav swooping in to fully sponsor the US water polo team bc they were working two jobs to afford practice#them gen x babies have got to be REELING#i mean obviously you can have the cynical view of celebs using the Olympics to improve their own image - which is also objectively true#porque no los dos?#Olympics

Why are you looking at me like you care?
#And then “Amalgamate” happened and no one died#And in general V3 is a simulation#The developers were possessed by Kokichi and they just lied to me that it was all real#I don't really like how Kokichi's face turned out#In my traditional sketches he looked more cynical and desperate#We have what we have#danganronpa#Dr#danganronpa v3#danganronpa 3#Drv3#drv3 Kaito#Drv3 Kokichi#kokichi oma#kokichi ouma#kaito momota#danganronpa kokichi#danganronpa kaito#Danganronpa oumota#oumota

Alex Hirsch going "I'd be interested in exploring Bill confronting all of his lies" during the Seattle book signing and him going "This is my child. Please be kind to him. He doesn't deserve it though." during the San Diego book signing...
It makes me incredibly happy that he's just as obsessed with this problem triangle as we are.
#been watching the interviews and q&a#its interesting to see how much was rehearsed and how much was improvised during the interviews#this man really gives 110% to be as entertaining as possible every second#but yeah also makes me really excited that he's taking this direction with Bill#idk there's a lot of cynical fans out there assuming creators hate anything resembling fandom desires and it's like#yeah sometimes fans can be REALLY out of left field but sometimes. good stories are good.#anyway bill redemption arc when#bill cipher#gravity falls#the book of bill#Alex Hirsch#tbob book signing
