#evening butt blogging

[millerflintstone]

I got distracted while talking to Unfriendly because the wax in our lava lamp looked like a butt while it was warming up

His pics show the evolution of butt cheeks to boobs

anything i see anything new on dc's bat-family it makes me wanna scream "WHAT THE FUCK'S THE MATTER WITH YA" and go after them yelling "FUCK OFF"

(not that bad actually. i'm pretty chill inside most of the time. i'm not what i used to be. a lot of it is performative, but a luke warm attitude towards something you have to say doesn't invoke passion, or anythign exciting that'd make anyone want to read it. not that many do anyways)

so many years of this and none of them get better. it's like it's trying to be pathetic

all those years of things you can research to be sure you get it right, and you fuckers couldn't be arsed to get your ass in gear and make sure all these fans that left have something to go back to?

now this dc server discord. my gosh, i don't think we're seeing the blue skies again. they're catering to a small pond of people, a wee group consisting of those that read panels, and pal around with fan fics and mash-ups that they created and pondered

not the stuff that had plenty of real people going out to the shops and ordering comics, that made them have a love and respect for the medium to the point they were fine calling themselves a fan back when it wasn't right in a cool kind of way in the eyes of many

now they're comics, it's not that serious. whoc ares that much in the end

and i guess i'll never seem like i'm not overreacting a touch

but comics used to tell stories that attached themselves to people's hearts and made them be seen and held, like finally i got something that i respond to

now it's who can rip off the fandom the best, and it's so easy to get content of the same marginal quality on AO3, and fan comics that don't need to blessing of bastard DC Comics

it's sensational the passion people can have despite that, whether or not it's for me. but all those hundreds of thousands of people missing a piece of their prior enjoyment because the 5 stan opinions repeated at nauseum is all anyone important at the writers station (not a real thing, i just mean writers) at the company is making them thing "ah yes, we're doing all right by them"

no you didn't, fucker, you scared the rest away with all the nonsense

now if you want more money you gotta try to earn them back

they think it's hopeless and practically pointless because comics are a dying medium, but they don't have to be. i'm sure it'll never to go back to what it once was, but you can still at least try to have a legacy as a writer that means something to people

when we used to have guys back in the day that could go and fuck around writing stories about peter parker's love life that didn't have much action that you would think the typical reader would desire, that could still effect someone in a way that had them stop and think about themselves, because a fraction of wisdom was hidden in it

now you get characters botched, bastardized, and secretly killed and replaced by those with the same names, and they can't even muster the sense to care. because someone laughed at a character being drawn at the wrong height, or another had a good reaction from people that didn't know the character as they thought they were writing their big magnum opus blockbuster for them

and i don't expect perfection, or the good old days to be possible to back to because they're the old days for a reason

but theirs's still the possibility and ability to go back and figure out the lost art of product control, and ravenous quality that can seep into people's spirits and give them a passion to constantly go back to issue after issue, giving your damn funky company a proper profit that means anything

no there they go ripping off little jimmy on twitter, stan account number 55, who's repeating what their pal jessica said on tumblr about bat-family member that got designated trope number 782 on the list, and that got the writer believing they did a job well done

you can do more

they're all just people, and i admire the fact they got to where they are. bless them for all the accomplishments they have. i can't take that way from them. but i'm also just a person who has what he has to say, and i think there's more to these writers then even they give themselves credit for

whining when people rightfully criticize your poor characterization and (even that's rare given the standards of today's comic fandom population) because it's your interpretation, when that's not how interpretation works

my man the money, and legacy you could create for yourself by doing the job, and research, and making something that actually comes across as a product worth buying could make you name live on for years after your death

comics aren't a large, marginally important industry, that all writers strive to join, but they're a passionate bunch that can make your legacy last for years to come

instead you'd rather sit on the bottom of a barrel being like everyone else typing out the same crap in 5 minutes a junior high student could in 2

batman has made billions of dollars from the excellence of others

and they'd rather sit down and take, what's not even a lot of money given that it's comics, and accept it, then make somethings of themselves, and perhaps with enough lucky make the company and business worth something again

there's no point in not trying

all they'd do is get more out of it with a bit of trying and effort, and passion and metaphorical sweat put into it

why should i read Tim Drake: Robin that can't even remember how Tim would talk about Damian right, and can't be fucked to not make his boyfriend look like a generic twink instead of himself, when i could go back and read something from about a decade before my own birth when it was good (if written by a massive fucker)

i've spent nearly a decade on and off criticizing comics, mainly dc and the bat-family, look at my blog name, it's 'ThatTimDrakeGuy' (yes that's how i personally spell it, with the capitalization), and all i've found are holes and tears in it since i've began back in 2015 when Rebirth was only news and headlines

and i've yet to see things get better when i read some classics and became aware at what was, and what could be

nonsense that people with enough passion to get their asses in gear to get the job and the assignments, with plenty of talents, especially the artists, my goodness regardless if they can remember what characters like tim or damian, and sometimes even easy to remember ass jason todd look like, they still have impressive skill, ability, and talent, that far surpases what the majority of the population on the whole planet can do

so it's not that they can't do it

it's that they don't try

often they try the opposite for quick cheap rewards, in the form of twitter stan brownie points "LOOK THEY HUGGED" "LOOK THEY'RE CRYING" "LOOK HE'S SO SHORT" regardless if that's thhe character, it makes sense, the story needs it, or it'll be remembered in years to come

give me and others a reason to come back

otherwise dc might as well die, which i hate to say, and don't mean all the way because of the jobs that would lose

but how else can i verbalize the general feeling and sensation it gives me, when all of that effort goes to waste with medicore at best products that won't be recalled months from now by any amount of peopel that's substantial?

you could go and be a legend in the field, or another turd in the bucket that's about to fly away in the wind to never be seen 'til their next splatty mess

quite sad and i hate it

and shit, with so many people acceptint it, and talking it up, the idea i can't even see a character i used to enjoy look like themselves at times is a wee miserable

how stupid is that when you think on it

how do you get to that point?

comics aren't serious

but the passion a lot have is

(never hurt anyone over it tho. those people are just wild, and not in a cool way)

The thing thats consistently bothered me the most in the fallout show is the racism. I would hesitate to recommend it because of that alone. And there was obvious love that the set and prop designers, actors, costume department, and even maybe the writers put into the show! There are themes and characters in fallout that i'm certain would resonate with fans of color!

It KILLS me that so many of the fallout entries are damn well unplayable/watchable in this regard because the writers simply Don't Care how the people in their work are presented. That this like hugely popular world with a lot of worldbuilding and thought behind it does such wrong to so many people, fans and otherwise, that you cannot find any game in the series that does it right or well. It alienates a lot of people who might've been fans just because the majority white creators and fanbase don't give a shit, and I'm sick of it.

it's not enough to say "in the fallout in my head that racism doesn't happen," you actually have to put some things into PRACTICE. Allow space in your head, your games/show, your fan spaces for people of color! notice and say something when you see racism coming from media, yourself, and others!

I got a nasty anon ask in my box this morning. It was pretty impolite (no death threats or anything, just generally rude and assumptive), so I'm not answering it directly, most of it was nonsense.

BUT there is a thing I think people NEED to understand about tumblr, and social media/blogging as a whole that it appears some people are unclear on.

Everything you post on tumblr is public.

You cannot do 'private' blogging on here. You post it, it is OUT here for good or for ill. Literally anyone you have not blocked can roll up to your blog and look through your stuff, and reblog it.

You can mark posts unrebloggable, and lock comments on them, if you want. But still, the post is public.

Yesterday a really bad fatalistic about voting post crossed my dash. I can't remember who it was from, and I wouldn't name names here anyway. Normally I scroll on by those, but I was tired, and in pain, and it managed to press my buttons juuuust right for me to reblog it with a bit of a screed on how the person who wrote it was being a psyop (using this as a catch all term for people trying to get people not to vote here) and trying to get people not to vote. Which I stand by, it was exactly in the vein of posts I recall from the 2016 election from people saying why THEY could NEVER vote for Hilary.

They proceeded to jump all over me for reblogging their 'private post' and for trying to 'scare' them and how they're 'an undecided voter' and my use of the term 'dog crap', blah blah blah.

(If you're undecided at this late stage I don't think anything I do or say is gonna sway you to do the right thing, and withholding your vote is only a moral option in elections that AREN'T literally FASCISM vs DEMOCRACY, but *handwaves* that's not my point here.)

Whatever.

My point is you cannot come on here and post things and expect them to stay on your blog. All it takes is accidentally leaving your finger on a post too long while you're on mobile and it's been reblogged.

One thing this pirate prince book is making me realize about older historicals compared to newer ones (and I’m talking probably like…. mid 90s to early 2010s, maybe), which I don’t think a lot of people get due to stereotypes surrounding older books, is how casual the intimacy often is and how fun that makes them

I feel, and I do think this is reflective of cultural shifts, that a lot of more recent historicals make it so that every kiss is this intense Moment, and every physical progression is like….. a whole Thing.

Whereas in this Pirate Prince book they’re still kind of in a weird gray area in terms of relationship, but he’s drunk and she’s enjoying teasing him and she’s in his lap just casually touching him and he’s kissing her and it’s like…. Just a part of the book. Just cute intimacy that doesn’t have to be this massively impactful break in a slow burn or whatever

And I think you see something similar in Jennifer Ashley’s MacKenzie books—like, Isabella and Mac do have angst and it is a marriage in trouble book but they’re also horny and very attuned to one another’s likes and so they just trade oral sex sometimes and it doesn’t mean there’s been this break in the emotional dam, they’re just….. really physically attracted to each other

I feel that a lot of historicals at the moment have this very “are we giving Austen or are we giving salacious” confusion that makes every tiny moment So Precious and I’m like no dude just let him grab her ass or something Jesus

I remember being confused about this guy back in the day but.. I get it now. Dude is TRYING to use a western toilet like a squat toilet, which often goes about as well as he demonstrates (I recall seeing an article or blog post about rural folks from various places in Asia injuring themselves or defacing sit down toilets with their shoes by standing on them like this--but can't find it)

Eh, I guess you aren't too wrong with leaders and those who follow. But you must know it's not a rule. It's not a static law. Nature is wild. It follows no pattern.

You have mutuals right? Friends you met, that demand nothing from you and you don't demand anything from them. You just spend time together. No one commands the other. You hang out with James at your book club. You seem like good buddies with Chimer. And so on.

Do you think they have someone who "leads" them? The lead themselves if anything. Their own dreams, wishes and intent. You can do so to.

Misc.

You don't need a master. You are your own. Always. Always have been. You hold your own fate.

Tumblr decided to nerf me by deleting a blog I had for a decade without warning or reason, but I am determined to enjoy soft fluffy furry art with pastel colors and great expressions so here we bloody are. I was a-soft-fluffy-nerd if the name rings a bell, but what's important is your art is neato burrito.

Omg hii!!!

I’m so sorry tumblr did that?? That’s really terrible I’d be so distraught I’m sorry 🥺🥺 I’m glad you found your way back though !! And thank you so much for your sweet words!! 🤗💝💖

Ok to reblog/don't be gross

actually i have discovered the only true and correct reading of md/zs: wgxn are the true Evil Men of mdzs. just look at how they’re dealing with lxc post-guanyin

The number of posts I’ve been tagged in for the “My Year In Review” as one of peoples’ “top 5 blogs your reblogged from” is both startling and validating. Since one intention for this account is to reblog items that I think is either valuable for people to read due to political / social reasons *or* entertaining in a way that will bring a literal smile to their face on a bad day (and I know a lot of us have been having bad days), it’s nice to have confirmation that so many of you who opted to follow this blog feel the content I have reblogged is, indeed, worthy of continuing to be passed along to your own followers. Or, possibly you just like all my reblogs of cat photos, which is absolutely valid. I’m reblogging them catses for a reason, after all. ^ _ ^

Oh, YAY, one post with no image and not even any swearing that tumblr decided was “mature” and now my whole blog is flagged 🙄

[ashmp3]

one thing i’m sure mingyu would relate to me is being approached by people at the gym and them asking about workout routines. Whenever i wear just a sports bra to a gym i would ALWAYS get asked about my abs by girls and bc i am kind of like a sergeant as my trainer once pointed out i would be like Get your bf low enough and work on your core. And don’t interrupt my workout 🫡 So back to mingyu no way with those titties to waist ratio hes not asked about chest workouts all the time likeeee. Aries sun 🤝 aries rising things all im saying… so you can see why i’m buzzing with excitement to watch that forsaken gym video..yeahhhh….

[martyrbat]

need to make a new tumblr just to annoy my mutuals with bc ,,, i am obnoxious and my ex(es??) still follow my main
