A RANT BC STOP SENDING PEOPLE STUPID SHIT

if you want a writer to keep going with something, you don't demand. you don't repeatedly ask. if you want something from a writer, or frankly anyone on tumblr that makes content FOR FREE, tell them you really enjoy their work!!! like, reblog, send POSITIVE MESSAGES

it's perfectly fine to want something!!! it's perfectly fine to want a series to keep going! but at the end of the day writers and artists here on tumblr DO NOT GET PAID. we don't have publishers or contracts WE DO THIS IN OUR FREE TIME FOR FUN!!

artists and writers alike take so much time and effort out of their already busy lives to create content. don't belittle it by demanding or sending passive aggressive messages. we all have lives outside of tumblr, a lot of us don't even do this as a main job or career. don't ask about updates. don't ask about wips. tell us you enjoy our content and continue on about your day.

I’ve really wanted to find someone to ship Marvin with because I love shipping and it’s super fun and what’s basically my favorite trope is sexy tall woman x short good guy/nerd (pretty obvious). And I’m kinda interested in Minerva Mink x Marvin SOULY because of that one crossover cameo Marvin got (as he appears in the Animaniacs now and then), but for the LIFE of me I just cannot work with Minerva there’s barely anything to build off of. (tap here for context) Like usually I’m great at this but she’s such a hollow and empty character other then “oooo sexy furry bait”, and as well as I would be somewhat content with just shipping the two on a VERY VERY surface level I honestly was looking to get into a relationship I could fixate on, I’ve thought of AUs too (making Minerva evil villainous) but it’s painfully obvious what my mind is trying to replicate and no one can top my OTP (Wander x Dominator) so I’d probably stray away from that and try smth new!!

And speaking of the villain thing, “why don’t you just ship Queen Tyr'ahnee & X-2/Marvin? That seems so obvious!” And my answer is, I have absolutely no clue it DOES seem obvious or that I’d be into that but it really just doesn’t strike me AT ALL, I wish it did tbh…maybe I can teach myself? Or circle back to Minerva or a different character entirely!!

What characters to yall ship with Marvin The Martian &why, I’m super curious!!

overall I just have so much less patience now for shows that once upon a time had something interesting going on and then betrayed the specific thing that was good about them. sometimes it’s a sudden death, like Veronica Mars or The Good Place (or HIMYM). sometimes it’s a slow transformation, like Gilmore Girls or Ted Lasso. sometimes you get through a whole show and only realize later that the things you loved were only there accidentally (Community was a bit like this for me). and I’m just. so. tired of it! it’s okay to lose your way a little bit, it happens to the best of us and a good ending can blot out a multitude of sins (Vampire Diaries). but the bottom line is I don’t wanna do all the work of finding coherence in your story!! I’m not listing shows that crashed and burned as favorites anymore! only shows that lived up to their potential!!

So, haven't ranted in a while, and I noticed that no one has actually posted about this and it's been three days(?)

Honestly, I'm glad y'all aren't giving the attention-seekers anymore attention. But my friend 👸 notified me so I know this is something fishy, so to speak.

Without further ado, let's look at the suspicious everything...

We all remember this photo. How it sparked another wave of outrage for the fandom. Knowing how old this photo really is, along with the weird caption in both photos this "fan" posted. Well, she changed the caption about three days ago, at least from the time 👸 told me about it.

So, the "fan" is living in the same building as Albitch? Because this makes it seem like Chris and Albitch have an apartment in PT.

A far cry from the caption saying it took her awhile to talk to him and recognize him...🤔

What's strange to me is why the hell, did she change her caption? Seems like someone wants this narrative to be a specific kind...

But that's just me seeing things, right?🙃

like the thing about LA proper is that - and I say this with the affection of someone that has lived here almost 6 years now and has a genuine fondness for it - it sucks. it's a mess of traffic and bad urban design and overpriced rents and underfunded public transit and getting anywhere takes twice as long as you'd think it should and basic things that would be easy to find in suburban nowhere America are weirdly difficult to find here. and all of that keeps the faint of heart away and there are real joys and delights to discover here, fantastic food, incredible live music, great art house cinemas, beautiful hiking trails, etc. but sometimes you just need to run a basic errand and you spend an hour in traffic and come back empty handed and that's when the suckiness of it all really gets to you

i'm actually pretty satisfied that three of the teams with the highest payrolls made it to the final four with two of them ending up in the world series because maybe that will finally get my cheapskate owner to start pumping some money into roster upgrades after a decade of bargain bin deals and payroll tightening! yes the team was unexpectedly good but you can't sit on your laurels and try to sell fans another year of bargain bin deals, or blaming the lack of spending on the one big free agent you signed (who was not even the best fit out there at the time). there are players out there that make sense and who fill obvious holes on the team!

the owners- yes even your cheapskate owner- can afford to pay players! they just don't want to if they can exploit a cheap player with an underutilized skill! we've progressed beyond the need for moneyball! it's not 'small markets can't compete with the most expensive teams for talent' it's 'your billionaire owner isn't your friend!'

bruh

when I have a GREAT idea but I have to actually build up to the part that my idea was about

I just want my instant gratification

I thought that it was stupid that Brandon Sanderson had the narrator of Tress of the Emerald Sea call all the unnamed sailors "Dougs" when he could have just called them, you know, sailors. But then I started using the term. Turns out having a word for "yes, we know that realistically all these individuals have unique identities and personalities, but they're not the focus of this story so we're going to treat them as faceless background characters" is surprisingly useful.

I take a break from Tumblr for two weeks and now everyone’s yapping about Faust and football….

No because I’d let him do whatever he wants to me.

Since you like Oliver Twist, have you watched The Artful Dodger?

I have! I enjoyed it because I think Thomas Brodie Sangster and David Thewlis are cracking actors and all their scenes together were great. And I found all the Oliver Twist slander bits very entertaining! That said, I don't rate it as a sequel to the story per se because the Dodger's characterisation was very off to me - he shouldn't have sounded that posh and he shouldn't have been so solemn. In my mind, the Artful Dodger grows up to be someone like Fletch from Porridge or Delboy from Only Fools and Horses, he should have more bravado and like to hear himself talk - and he should definitely not be ashamed of his thieving past! But it's obviously a really individual thing, that's just my personal take as someone who's loved the character for ages. I loved TBS's performance/character in its own right, and since they were going for a YA romance type thing with a large American audience, I guess they couldn't go for a short verbose cockney con artist type (cowards).

(David Thewlis' Fagin was brilliant, you could put him straight in any adaptation of Oliver Twist and I'd eat it up!)

What did you think?
