would you please elaborate on your comment "renowned hack frank miller" ? i haven't read much from him yet but i like to listen to informed people tell me why [thing] sucks because it's funnier than dc wiki

when someone tells me their favourite comic writer is frank miller my response is the same as when someone tells me their favourite films are american psycho and fight club — i immediately prepare for an irish exit from the convo.

both (some of) miller’s work and those films are influential pieces of art with explicit political ideology, but while american psycho and fight club are (frequently) misinterpreted satire, miller is genuine to the point of hilarity.

if u consume batman as a character in any capacity u cannot escape miller’s influence — batman: year one is the pretty definitive starting point for most fans (and filmmakers, like matt reeves with the batman 2022), and miller’s visual style is a cornerstone for modern comics. the dark knight returns effectively changed how comics were viewed by readers, and is credited with kickstarting the modern age of comic books. i cannot emphasise that even if u haven’t read a miller book u have certainly encountered someone else inspired by his work.

with that said — miller writes like how a racist libertarian who believes his own hype would write about superheroes. greta, u must be wondering, that seems like an awfully specific descriptor to assign to someone. and normally u would be right!

the because im batman schtick that every sixteen year old nolan stan with a twitter account ran into the ground circa 2014 started because of miller, and his success in the 80s led to a number of ill advised projects fueled by his own hype. all star batman and robin was an uncritical interpretation of bruce that embodies all the worst misinterpretations of dc characters, including the justice league, that miller then tried to espouse was satire. unfortunately, he is not smart enough to punch up instead of down — the absurd hypersexualisation of women doesn’t become satire just because you’re laughing at readers in the script, frank.

this, in turn, led to one of the most virulently racist comics ever published — 2011’s islamophic nightmare fuel holy terror. he should not be taken seriously as a creative force, and he should not be the foundation of what comics should be. at least alan moore is marginally less obnoxious and fully admits that the killing joke was a bad idea.

Here's another ask: 1 thing you like + 1 thing you dislike about each TC movie

Almost guaranteed these are gunna end up being more than one thing because I don't know how to shut up but let's see

Beverly Hills Cats:

I like that it's silly and also because it gives Brain more of a spotlight, also it confirmed a few of my lesser headcanons (Spook can play the drums and Brain likes rats) also The Rap for their costumes (specifically Spook's and Brain's they slay) also Spook's voice is very gruff in BHC and so now I have a REAL reason to make his voice a little gravelly/give him a little growl when he talks whenever I read a dialogue from him other than just because I want to

However the PACING OH MY GOD THE PACING 😭 some of the movie just drags and the dialogue feels clunky sometimes, also the visuals look dirty if that makes sense? Everything's a strange color y'know? Also The Rap because it's so poorly composed and it makes me die a little. Also Amy Vandergelt fuck Amy Vandergelt all my homies hate Amy Vandergelt. Also Dibble didn't really feel like Dibble y'know like he was oddly mean and (extra) dense like 😭

Top Cat: The Movie:

I am inherently biased because this is a movie from my childhood I was FUCKING OBSESSED with it and would watch it every day once I got home from school in 4th grade and I still remember a dream I had about it years ago and I'm pretty sure I put Spook into a story I had to write for class 😭 it's how I got into Top Cat in the first place so I hold The Movie very near and dear to my heart anyways I really love that it legitimately feels like Anima Estudios put a lot of love into it and like they made a genuine effort to make it feel like OG even if they fell short. Also THE ARTSTYLE I WOULD FUCKING KILL TO GET A REBOOT IN THE STYLE OF THE MOVIE ARARAR GEOMETRIC ARTSTYLES EATS A BRICK anyways also Trixie, they could never make me hate you Trixie (I need to draw her more) also the robots are funny as fuck for no reason

While I still think people greatly exaggerated how bad the movie was, I can kinda understand where they're coming from because the plot holes are ABYSMAL OMG 💀 also fucking Rob Schneider is Strickland in the British dub which is immediately awful, also not as awful but Dibble doesn't feel nearly as like strict or intimidating as he did before and I think that's mostly because of the voice they gave him, it's very squeaky. Also I feel like Strickland could work as a good antagonist but I feel like they leaned into the 'oh I'm so handsome I'm the prettiest in the world' thing too hard and it just made him feel really annoying and not like an actual threat at all, also naturally the flanderization of Brain (Anima Estudios must've had beef with him or something cos they did him even more dirty in Begins)

Top Cat Begins:

To be completely Frank, to be completely David even, there's really not that much I like about Begins other than Hellcat Spook (naturally). I mean I like Furletta Duchat because she's purdy and Dib's grandmother (Grambo) because she's fucking insane. Chooch's little waddle of a walk. OH I actually REALLY like Mr. Big as a villain. He's an actual threat to T.C. and the gang and his design, voice, and behavior is actually intimidating and probably the best crafted out of any of the new characters in Begins (also his model isn't fugly like most of the rest of them). If a new movie or series ever gets made I hope he makes a return even just as like a minor villain. Also Diedrich Bader voices Bad Dog and that's an inside joke between me and my sister lmao (also I do really like Bad Dog he's an excellent goon)

First things first for things I don't like about Begins, THE MODELS. WHY ARE THEY SO UGLY. WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS. I mean like they could be worse BUT THEY COULD CERTAINLY BE BETTER 😭 I mean I do appreciate them for giving us canon eye colors for the fellas but good fucking lord

Help him 😭

Tbh I'm trying to think of who the worst offender is and tbh it's almost all of them but I will say that Benny and Spook look the best, Fancy isn't ugly but he doesn't really look like Fancy, (same with Dibble) and ig T.C. isn't bad but he's not good. Brain and Chooch though what did they do to my lads. Chooch has gingivitis and lacks fangs (actually all of them lack fangs except for T.C. and Benny which I think is especially offensive) and Brain's model is built in such a way where any mouth movement he makes looks FUCKED UP. Also his eyes are really small and so are his ears and his proportions are generally fucked.

Fun fact I found some like beta promo art for Begins a while ago and Fancy's model is completely different and dare I say he looks better than his official model

Anyways models aside I think this is kind of a dogshit origin story for the gang. Making T.C. and Benny meet Fancy, Chooch, and Brain all at the same time only to not see them for the next 45 minutes was real fuckin lame-o and lazy and they also retconned that whole thing where T.C. and Benny were in Boy Scouts together which I really didn't appreciate. Also could've stood to have moar Spook in the movie instead of him being a deus ex machina and having LESS THAN TEN MINUTES OF SCREENTIME, like shit dawg. Also I always thought it was lame that he was just the pizza guy and not ACTUALLY involved with Mr. Big y'know? Also he's got a bit of a plot hole where he's like 'why should I stick my neck out for you' and then legit like 2 minutes later he's like 'i've been following you around so we can join forces' like ok bro if that was the case you would've just pulled them up and not've done that whole thing where you made it seem like you would've left them there but alright dawg. In my opinion I would've had it where Mr. Big sends out Spook to find them and follow them around after they lose their tracks of them and then when they escape Spook's grasp THEN Mr. Big fucks up Eleanore. Anyways what else. Uhh. Oh I can't tell if they just forgot what Dibble acted like or they tried making him younger in Begins but like. That's not Dibble. Who is that. Also again, Brain flanderization to the extreme and some mischaracterization of Fancy. Anyways I think that's it actually

This turned into a full rant I'm sorry 😭 but yeah I think a remake/revamp of Begins is in order because it's so bad and then BHC isn't bad, just mid at times, and then I've always found The Movie to be charmingly bad despite it's plot holes

[alrightbuckaroo]

Sending you the same question I sent lemon because I know you’re a big music person too! If you could go back in history and see any three concerts, what would they be? Feel free to explain why if you would like!

Hello Basil! Do you mind if I call you Basil?

This is such a good question!

1. The Rat Pack in 1964 as part of the Frank Sinatra Spectacular show. I always joke that I'm an 82 year old that's found her way in the body of a late 20s year old and I think my love of Dino, Frank and Sammy is proof of that hahah.

I simply just adore classic pop and easy listening; so much that Frank Sinatra was one of my top five artist on my Spotify wrapped in 2019. I'm also so intrigued by the pop culture era of that time (I'm a huge Classic Hollywood purveyor, you should see my record collection and my stack of biographies) and so I find the private lives of crooners so interesting.

If I had it my way; I would have Coachella, but it would be like, Ella Fitzgerald, Jo Stafford, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Eartha Kitt (my queen), Nat King Cole, The Ink Spot, The Mills Brothers, Vic Damone and so many other artists people my age would not pay to go see 😭

2. Amy Winehouse Live at Glastonbury would have been such a delight.

Amy Winehouse is, and probably always will be, one of my favorite musicians and she was just so damn good. There was a charisma she had on stage and there was a heartbreak that was so palpable through her voice.

I listen to her performance of Some Unholy War every now and then my god, she was just a one of kind talent. This was the performance where she called Kanye West a cunt and I promise, you'll never hear that word said so beautifully 😭

If you haven't watched the documentary about her, Amy (2015), I highly recommend it. All Amy wanted to do was sing, but it was heartbreaking seeing that her father ensured she was doing everything but that. Fuck Mitch Winehouse, me and all my homies hate Mitch Winehouse.

3. I'm cheating with this one (I'm sorry!) and my last one isn't a concert, but there are so many performances on the Ed Sullivan show that I would have loved to have seen.

Vanilla Fudge's You Keep Me Hanging On, The Animals' The House of the Rising Sun, The Mamas and the Papas' Dedicated To the One I Love (for Mama Cass and Mama Cass only.) and Ella Fitzgerald's Old McDonald (Yes, it's that Old McDonald, but the magic Ella uses to make this song a swing song is just unmeasurable)

all i need in my life to severely bitch slap frank and monica

[anyathefandom]

My thoughts on Tuesdays episode:

*Sees Portia father and brother* Now listen frank! FRANK ARE YOU LISTENING??!! STAY WITH ME. Okay let's get rid of Finn and Cody and replace them with these fine as fuck nice looking gentleman right here. I think that's a fair trade.🤷 Just give the audience what they want and when I say audience I mean me. Give me what I want.👀 Alright thanks bestie!!!

*Tolly talking about not knowing what to do without each other if they ever split up* me:

Like is that an anvil or am I overthinking it? Sidenote: I'm probably overthinking it since tolly barely get screentime as a couple.🙈

An epiphany mention 🥺

I love how Marshall mentions if Trina has a date to be with right now and she immediately brings up Spencer. Like girl please just accept that you don't view as just a friend because your subconscious has accepted it.🤭

All it took was one Valentin mention in Spencer's presence for me to be back on my "Let Valentin and Spencer bond" bs. Nikolas is out the picture so let it happen.🤷

Omg Victor is so awful in the ha ha way right now because this man really used valentin's "death" as a lesson to Spencer to put his family first.😂 I can't with this man.

Victor is really trying to preach to Spencer about how only cassadines can understand each other but forgets that he has no choice himself because nobody wants to deal with his obsessive ways. Like babes you have no choice but to be alone because everybody HATES you. Spencer on the other hand has options.🤷

Victor always trying to Gaslight someone and it never works.😂

The Ashford men: All my homies hate Spencer Cassadine. Trina: Spencer is just misunderstood and I'm one of the few who understands him so please give him a chance🥺 or don't, that's your wrong opinion or whatever.🤷

FUCK THE ADA. I'll never forget how hard they went against Trina for something she was clearly innocent of but have no smoke for Esme. Oh okay. That's interesting.🙃

I'm at the point where I'm like "Hell let Victor take the baby and he can mold that child into his mini me for all I care"🤷

Spencer was so fucking disturbed by Victor that he had no words he just awkwardly smiled and got the fuck out of there.😂

I'm so proud of Spencer because even though he wanted to vent to Trina in that moment mans so how happy she was with her family and put her happiness above his need for her and left. Like this was the one time I was okay with not getting a Sprina scene.🤷

Okay but the dancing was full Taby. I love to see the cast goof around.🥰

Austin saying "What am I going to do with a gallery???" Shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as I did.😂

Ava being like "Yo Austin I know what it looks like but believe me I don't murder bitches anymore" Austin internally probably: ANYMORE???!!😳

Once again I am wondering why ava thinks she can get away with leaving with Avery as if sonny isn't going to hire someone to find them then kill her for even taking off with his daughter. Ava be fr sis.😂😭

I can't believe mcr is going to be in my state the next two days and I'm not going to either of them. Capitalism doesn't breed innovation it just results in shit like concert tickets being way too fucking high. It should be ME going to those concerts...

[h0rr0rsaxo]

I recently got a sudden thought that came from nowhere....but for dbd I think Anni and Meg would have crushes on each other...like mutual pinning neither one does anything about.

But Anni has an idea to fuck around with Freddy Krueger a little bit, and of course the person that is there immediately willing to back Anni up is Meg. So Anni and Meg devise a plan to steal one of Freddy's most valuable things...his hat.

So Meg distracts him as Anni sneaks up behind him and snatches it off his head and runs off with it, he obviously get annoyed and chases after her but Meg manges to catch up and they just run off with it!

(you can add Frank and Joey in here if you want to! And please take your time, don't feel pressured to do this!)

[ Partners in crime - Simp Party ]

SYNOPSIS; Meg and Anni prank Freddy.

PAIRINGS; Meg x Anni, Frank x Anni

CONTENT WARNINGS; None

NOTE; This is kinda short tbh-- sorry about that.

TAGS; @insane-horror-movie-addict

CHARACTER COUNT; 6,571

"Are you ready for this?” Anni asked, her brown eyes staring over the excited face of her friend as Meg enthusiastically nodded her head. Letting out a silent breath, she nodded more to herself than her friend and turned around towards the barrier, pulling her lips into a smile of excitement. Anni lunged in the other direction, her pace quickening as she noticed Freddy was pacing closer to Meg, grinning as he presumed he was about to kill the girl.

Freddy set off running towards the girl, following the survivor as best he could, jumping over overgrown roots and swooping under fallen trees. Calling out threats to her, hoping she would heard him and get scared, however he noticed Meg suddenly switch directions and without thinking he did so too. In his hurry his tripped over a root, stumbling down and hitting the ground hard before he began to tumble down a steep hill. Unable to stop his momentum he brought his arms up and wrapped them around his head and face to protect himself as he continued to roll down the hill. 

It was when Freddy hit the barrier at the bottom of the hill that he came to a halting stop, the wind getting knocked out of his lungs from how hard he hit the tree. He took a minute to catch his gruff breathe, before he sat up slowly, his clothes had picked up dirt and leaves on the tumble he took and made him look an absolute mess, not like it would change much from his already hideous appearance. Worst of all, his hat fell off, revealing his hideous scarred bald head. Before he could reach his weaponized hand towards it, Anni suddenly swooped in and grabbed it.

He stumbled up into a halt out of instinct, his head snapping from side to side and examining the open field, searching for the damned survivors. Chest heaving with his unsteady breathing, and he could hear the pounding of his heart in his ears.

"Nice one Anni!" Both Anni and Meg's eyes met with eachother, slight blush overlapping their faces for split second as their eyes locked. The stare lasted no more than a second before they turned on their heels and set off sprinting beside eachother. They didn't need to look back or listen closely to know that he was following them, this was a given. Annu had thought the openness of the field would help her be aware of anything around her. 

— … —

Anni and Meg sat on a log around a dim fire set in one of the smaller campsites, staring into the burning inferno before them as they told about how they stole Freddy's hat. Most of the survivors had leaned in, listening to ever detail they mentioned intently. The scare of the event before them imprinted itself into the minds of everyone in the camp, most likely haunting their looming dreams into the night. Anni rubbed her face and groaned, her eyes sleepy and her body aching. Sure, she was incredibly tired from the sheer amount of running they did, and dodging they did from Freddy's attacks. Fixing the generators weren't any easier while they had a target on their back, but it was still very much worth the trouble.

 

"Now how in the hell did you manage to trick Freddy, of all people, like that?” Anni heard Frank's gruff voice ask and Anni looked down at the ground,

 

“Teamwork! I would've been dead if it wasn't for Meg, she was a big help honestly. I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime,” Anni smiled at Meg, nudging her slightly. Frank had a cigarette in his mouth and a beer in his hand and stared into the fire for a few moments. His eyes moved over to them, smirking slightly as he let out an amused huff.

 

“Hell, I don't blame you guys. It's fun to mess with that old man,” He asked with a quick nod of his head towards Freddy, who had been raging in the distance and Anni's brown eyes moved towards the scarred killer. She chuckled n her throat and smiled mischievously,

 

“We're totally going to do that again.”

 

“Damn... surprised you still have an arm, those blades on his hand isn't a joke.” Frank said a bit surprised as he looks into the flickering brown orbs on her face. Anni nodded and rubbed her wrist, managing to keep eye contact with Frank,

 

“Egh…he almost would have stabbed her, but I would rather die than have Anni get hurt to be honest,” Meg's eyes moved back to the fire and Frank narrowed his own, taking the cigarette from his mouth and blowing out the smoke curling out of his lips, he would be lying if he said he didn't feel just a bit envious of the situation.

 

“Well, I'm gonna get some sleep. I probably have a match in a few hours, and I need to be energized," Frank loosely discarded the cigarette onto the ground, crushing under the heel of his boot, “I'll see you later.”

One by one, all of the survivors had seemed to be getting tired, and escaping to their cottages, probably exhausted from the day full of non-stop matches. It fortunately left both Anni, and Meg alone near the campire, along with a comfortable silence. 

Meg wastes no time leaning her head against Anni's shoulder and laying against her closely ike she was the only thing left in the world. The hand rubbing circles into her back commands Meg's muscles to relax while another swims through her hair and attempts to tame brown locks that had been viciously tousled throughout the day as Anni slightly ruffles her hair. The two of them lay in silence together, eyes hid behind heavy lids, enjoying each other’s presence and soft breathing, and she can’t help but laugh to herself every time Meg lets out a sigh as she continues to loosen up.

They had found refuge in eachother's arms, but still refused to ever say anything to confirm their love for one another.
