While I hop through all of my art wips, have this ship chart I made for nordegrim!
#these are mostly based on my headcanons so take that into account when looking at this#feel free to make your own version for them if you have different headcanons for them :]#Iâd love to see different interpretations of their relationship#for once in my life I actually finished one of these#probably because Iâm not trying to make it look fancy#btw the Neil sketch is one of my favourite drawings I made of him#the sketchâs were made for another one that I never finished so why not reuse them here!#I also added the song I associate with them the most here cause music heavily influences my headcanons and other fan stuff i make :]#not too mush though might I add#I put both of the ages they canonically have cause i didnât know which one to put down#apologies for my somewhat messy handwriting :}#gotta say this cause it is a bit hard to read sometimes#scott pilgrim#anyways Iâm gonna stop rambling in the tags now so it doesnât turn into a paragraph#or a very long one at that#scott pilgrim comic#scott pilgrim takes off#young neil#neil nordegraf#stacey pilgrim#nordegrim

Okay! Finally found a use for this blog. i've been really wanting a sideblog for bj.d stuff (and doll stuff in general) but i've been undecided if i really need one. i've only got one bj.d (and he's not even here yet) so like. what would i post.
but actually it's my world i can do whatever i want forever. so. multi purpose consumerist hobby blog is go. for hobbies that involve me buying a bunch of stuff. i.e ita. bags, anime figures, doll furniture, bj.d stuff, other dolls i may or may not be ordering, mang.a, character goods. the lot.
i like the idea of taking pictures and categorizing the stuff i have, and i have really strong opinions on some parts of my collecting hobbies so it'll be nice to have a spot i can ramble about my opinions on manga spines without feeling like i'm talking toooo much.
#torn between leaving the title consumerist hobbies or changing it to something nicer like. this is my blog for my collections :)#but. i think it's good to be honest. i like stuff. i am NOT immune to impulse of buying things i don't need.#gotta keep myself humble.#added some periods to words randomly because i really don't want this drifting across any tags. I'm still setting up in here look away#i need a talk tag. uh. hhm.#fuck it reusing the one from my naru/to blog.#Knightly Missives

The Master And Margarita Jacket
(Matthew Sweetâs Doctor Who versionâŚbut with a frisson of Bulgakovâs)




Itâs done! With every bit of unphotographical glittery metallic paint that I canât capture on camera even if my iphone skills werenât rubbish.
@spoonietimelordy, @rearranging-deck-chairs, @bearinabandana and everyone else who Did The Reading of that one âI Am The Masterâ novel but Iâve forgotten to tag because iâm so sleep deprived i canât think any more but hopefully other people will, assemble!
Detailed closeups and explanations (with some spoilers) below:

Starting front top right side (face on). -Margarita herself, biting a mushroom. A more Cockatoo beak than Macaw, with red face instead of white, to make what exactly she is more mysterious. -The Master Who logo here is just gold, any shading didnât look right when it was so thin.

Front top right pocket. Purple, of course.



-Next section down are these three. The âNever Stop Growingâ patch is my second favourite patch of the bunch. So many Master Themes, and plot relevant. -Then the little âBest Budsâ with the heart in the middle. I was inordinately proud of that idea. (Buds, budding, bigenerated vibe). -And then âObscene Lotusâ. Thatâs mentioned early in the book, and while itâs just described as a big purplish lotus, thereâs so much sexual charging in that scene that, well, you gotta.


Me, reusing the âbuddingâ pun in a different capacity? Itâs more likely than you think.
-The cover of the Penguin Clothbound Classic version of the original The Master And Margarita, that took multiple days to complete and so much agony. -The patch is a blank one that I bought, then painted the design to look like one of those stamps people sometimes put in books. Painted the border the same colour, then tea-stained it to look like old paper. Certainly in real life the colour comes out nicely. I couldnât find his autograph (and sadly thereâs an unrelated artist with the same name lol) but he got his doctorate in Wilkie Collins so I just looked up examples of that guyâs writing and tried to give it a bit of that vibe. Hopefully itâs the thought that counts. But hey, if anyone ever meets him and gets me a signature sample I can just redo it.

General mushroom patch - I like the fire kind of vibe and the looming.

To the other side!
So. Youâre asking whatâs with the daisy theme. Fair. So Margarita is also another name for a daisy in some languages. I choose to lean into that because itâs also the widely known symbol of Three - with that scene where he talks to Jo and recounts how a hermit living on a mountain helped dispel his depression by getting him to focus on the beauty of the flower (âand it was the most daisiest daisyâ). Given that Three is essentially a character in the book, this felt like the vibe weâre going for. Itâs perennial. It also is a healer of bruises and wounds, how can that not be relevant meta wise too to the Masterâs new companion, hm? And okay yes, Mikhail does say heâs not a botanist, but if you can think of another way to get that message across other than botanical illustration pageâŚ
I like the patch because lightbulb, idea, full of mushrooms etc.

-âI Am The Masterâ being the name of the book the story is contained in, plus Fun With Identity. -Next the one bit of Real Art that I attempted to copy in glittery acrylics - Magritteâs âThe Treachery Of Imagesâ or more commonly known âCeci nâest pas une pipeâ. The story not only of the Masterâs experiences recently, but the storyâs themes of hallucinations and deceptions; as well as being the symbol of Russian!Brigadier. -This patch is great isnât it? A play on the Masterâs apparent alcoholism or Russian blending in as you prefer, and of course, The Lighthouse of Martin!Doctor fame.

-Mikhailâs guitar for playing Brown Sugar and other ominous inference songs. -The formula triangle of Love, Food, and Music (I couldnât think of a self-evident way to show his approach to food - Russian dumplings are, well, not exactly distinct). On its side so the glittery pink triangle points in a certain direction because heâs escaped places and I can do ominous inferences too Sweet. -Maybe controversial? There is a failed love story component in here though, that I just couldnât leave unmarked. The Doctor, Kâvo, and Jo all have their parts to play in that.
Now for the arms:


Hereâs the right-side looking-on arm. -I repainted this mushroom patch to be the orange and green of Kâvoâs. -Youâve already seen the long image of it above, so hereâs just a snippet closeup of the motif that goes along both arms. Daisies linked in a chain with the words âdaisiest daisyâ (if you wonder why everythingâs outlined by the way, a) i like the style, and b) it makes glitter infinitely more legible and clearer to see if thereâs a dark matt border around it breaking it up, especially with something as variable coloured as denim). Thereâs the sunflower in the middle because Margarita loves her sunflower seeds.

This is the other arm. Margarita holding a margarita in a margarita. Whatâs more to add? I used my shittest white (mixed with my fabric medium as everything else has been at every step) rather than @yesokayiknowâs excellent suggestion of Liquitex, which has saved me everywhere else, including those light patches. But here shitty kids basics acrylic is translucent enough to do some excellent work pretending to be glass and ice. The parrot patch has been altered to make the beak entirely black and her face red instead of macaw white, to keep her species ambiguous as literary theme demands.

To the back!
This Master Who logo is bigger, so it has the Masterâs purple highlights like bruising.

Here is a small UNIT patch I modified to be a Russian one, globe focused on their continent (roughly). Sweet just translated the word âunitâ for Russian!Brigadierâs group, and the text is the re-cyrilliced version of that.
Skipping to the bottomâŚ

Here referencing Oâs collection of Doctor Information, Sweet adding to that with having distinct scrapbooks. âManuscripts Donât Burnâ is a line from Bulgakovâs The Master And Margarita (spoken by Satan in fact, mhmm) and became something of a rallying cry for oppressed Russian artists. I have âAuthor Unknownâ for the obvious meta with his and the Doctorâs memories, and likewise, the fact that flames are clearly present and burning lets the viewer come to whatever conclusion they like. #133 was chosen for the simple fact that in my copy of Bulgakovâs novel, and the one depicted on the front of the jacket, it is page 133 which starts the chapter The Hero Enters, where we meet The Master who has renounced all other names (who is very much, as Interference notes, the Doctor). They are glitter paint titles done on Hemline repair patches, black, brown, white, and navy blue. I know anything too painty on that area of the back will risk a lot of wear, and these are easily replaced when necessary (if still hours of lettering).
To the left most sideâŚ



This was the most expensive patch I bought, ÂŁ12. But worth it. The mushroom stalk is silk.
Here I depicted in silhouette the scene of the Master climbing up to the Doctor on the giant mushroom. I chose silhouette so as not to draw the eye too much. I also added some 2ply black-black glitter cotton as part of his climbing equipment, attached on by some silver stitches for theâŚthings I canât remember the name of. It gives it a bit more 3D effect, but also keeps the thread close enough it shouldnât pull on anything.

And at its base we have a reference to Mikhailâs chosen middle name. I chose to believe itâs relevant, Sweetâs too deep into this for it not to be. This is a cover I edited to highlight the namesake who actually travelled Russia and collected the tales of this book, and indeed, it does include the story of Koschei The Deathless. I edited the robe to be red instead of its original yellow, and added the quintessential Time Lord collar. But I think itâs perfectly passable. This is iron on transfer paper (dark) onto a very light grey polycotton to turn it into a patch. ItâŚ*cough* hasnât had its edges finished or strictly been attached yet, but thatâs a bit of handwork I can do as and when.
So finally back up to the middle

Iâve expanded out @spoonlesss-artbook fantastic angel-winged Margaritaâs Master art. The Redbubble bag was only that big as it was (hemmed with bostik fabric glue like a true pro and attached as a panel) so it cut off a little, and it didnât go the whole way anyway, so now we get some endings of the feathers, some all the way up to the arm of the jacket. I tried to blend it into the fire, one creature of both. And trying to get a multidimensional feel, boundary breaking. And again, very glittery irl so plays very well with the fire theme. It was fun when it came to colour-matching particularly the blue wing at the top, because the glitter gives it a bit of a sheen. I blunted it with a few careful washes of black so it still sparkles but is the right colour in most angles.


The Redbubble edit cuts @spoonietimelordyâs signature, so I copied it from the original and moved it over to the left side in some sparkly silver. Also internet doxxing my real life self on the bottom of the back as my own signature.
Doesnât look like the sort of thing that would take weeks when you see it all together, but Iâm really happy with it. Iâm so grateful for everyone whoâs shown their brilliant art to me and shared posts about painting all these years, cus it allowed me to absorb stuff and let me come out of the gate swinging! It feels thoroughly addictive. Even if I only know âuse tiny brushâ for almost everything and glitter metallic is great for hiding sins. (And a âHa!â in the face of my mother keeping me away from it my whole life because of mess - I never got even a single speck on any clothes that wasnât this jacket. I couldâve been doing this for years rather than just picking up a brush at the age of thirty-damn-one. But at least Iâve got it now).
And thanks to Matthew Sweet for feeding the worms in my brain too.

This is largely a repost of the original version I did on @amelias-zelda-calamity-quintet to add to the pinned post, but for the sake of having it here on this blog too as its own post:
The Expanding Hyrule Community Discord!
Much like the name Expanding Hyrule and Original Legends, all of this is very new. And open to feedback 110%. But, much like the fact that there is no name for this niche of the Zelda community, there's not a place either. So we need one so we can pick a name together!
A lot of the assets are temp reused stuff from my fic, MoaH, but the asset is also a guild symbol and what better way to start an adventure with adventurers than with a guild! Union metaphor, adventure tie in, it'll get changed, but until a name gets picked, the acronym would be "EH" which is not as enthusiastic as I'd like to be about this. So, what is the server now!
At the top, I want to mention that I am solo-modding this at the moment, so the scale of what the server can do will scale based on that and whenever I get a mod situation figured out. Which is why:
Server is 16+. For this particular brand of building community, I want to have a space open to new storytellers and established storytellers alike. I am however only one person and until I have more Discord savvy folks to help, I don't know that I have the energy to deal with very young folks.
To the meat of it: this server is, for the purposes of this post, what I'm currently calling "Original Legend" Zelda stories. These are stories that aren't based on any particular game, they would be their own games if they were ever adapted. If you tell stories in that niche or are interested in those kinds of stories, here's your place to help us pick a name for this community and support it!
If you write Original Legend fic, have an Original Legend comic, or generally make fanworks in this niche, you can get your own subcategory set up on the server for boosting and promoting your Hyrule. A community of book clubs is the idea. All you gotta do is head to the Expanding Hyrule section of the server, give me some details on how you want to set up your subsection of the server, and there you go, a place to collect resources for your work maybe a little easier than shifting through a blog or hoping the tags don't break. Here's a few of mine on the server already as examples:
(Some of these subcategories can get big, so minimized for space, here's mine for example)
Continuing on that point, the events section is open for request. If you upload on a schedule or one off but you know the day, I'll get an event set up so folks can get reminders of your releases. Additionally, if you do streams for your art or art for creators in this space, will also happily add those into the events.
For folks that like engaging with Zelda fanworks, yo! You get to help us build a new part of the community! This fandom has built niches before, like the Links Meet niche. Here's another one that we can set up together! And as creators in this space, we need your help because this genre has no central identity for us to organize behind. You get to help create that!
What are y'all waiting for? The pic is linked with the invite, here it is again (x), and it's on the pinned post for this blog.
(This post has external links, so reblogs help a ton!)

Ok, I think I have this pivot done, but nothing is permanent so let's start somewhere and build the rest together! So, reintroducing:

me reading the comics post and ur tags fr like *brings you a microphone* how do u feel about the shit tim's been put thru?
I'm assuming you're talking about my "everyone needs to do a 1-year stint in comics fandom before doing a different fandom" tags. My genuine opinion on the shit Tim's been through?
I think it's hilarious. Tim Drake spent much of his Robin Career being the cool, relatable, 90s nerdy teen. He chugs energy drinks. He skips school. He skateboards. He's the main character of a 90s teen sitcom. It is immensely funny to me that this theoretically-on-paper normal, oddly charismatic nerd loses most of his closest friends, his father figure, his title, the trust of his family, etc etc within the in-universe span of, what, a year and a half? Like it is SO funny to me that the universe just decided out of the blue "yo we gotta shit on Tim Drake RIGHT NOW" and then it happens in rapid and dramatic succession.
And keep in mind Tim is already unhinged (NOBODY NORMAL WOULD EVER DO THE FAKE UNCLE THING) so the fact that he he decides to go all in into an edgy new persona is like, comparatively reasonable and normal. But he's so uncool about it that he reuses another one of Jason's castoffs and doesn't change the name, because the idea of someone calling him something other than 'Robin' makes him want to curl up and die. It's the funniest, most dramatic way to do a cry for help.
Don't get me wrong, it's also extremely sad. However, I am a firm believer that things can be very sad and very funny at the same time. That's life, babey.
Within the context of my "everyone needs to do a 1-year stint in comics fandom" tags, the way I pick and choose my Tim canon is that I pile on every single ridiculous, over-the-top, dramatic and sad event, smash them all together, and shove them at a boy whose coping mechanisms start at "lie your ass off" and end at "blow shit up." This creates a very sad character. It also creates a very funny character. Yeah, giving Tim the love and support he needs is great, but also making him do increasingly elaborate cries for help without realizing he's crying for help is even better.
Anyway, Red Raven by PlotlessWanderer is the greatest Tim Drake fic of all time.
#dc#Tim drake#I'm literally begging everyone to read red raven it's the best Tim fic in the entire goddamn fandom#asks#the way a lot of the ManPain is executed in canon is extremely shitty#but the best thing about fandom imo is when people take canon events and spin them in such a way that they click#i love it when canon gives you puzzle pieces and you assemble a coherent picture. not the one they intended. but still coherent#lazuli talks

How to credit artists
TL;DR: Tell us the name of the person who made it.
Hi, all. There are instances when reposting art or using someone else's graphics (i.e. banners, dividers, etc) is acceptable, with the understanding that proper credit is given to the original creator. However, a lot of folks don't seem to know how to give proper credit to artists. I will explain here.
The most important thing to know is that the primary purpose of giving credit to the original creator is NOT to point out that you didn't make it. While that can be good to know, that's not the main objective. The primary purpose is to tell people who the actual creator is. If what you've written does not show people how to find the original creator, it is not proper credit. Examples of improper credit include:
"credit to the original artist!"
"found on Pinterest/Google/etc."
"art not mine"
Those do not tell me who made whatever it is you're reusing. That is not sufficient information. I should be able to read it and tell who made it.
So how do we credit people properly? Some artists may have very particular ways they'd like to be credited, in which case they will usually have this information listed somewhere, but most don't. If they're on tumblr, crediting them is as simple as listing their username/URL. If you were to credit me, for example, you would just say "art by @carbomcoco". Boom, that's it. We don't need a whole MLA-style bibliography if it's a social media post, just enough to tell us who made it. Contextualize it however is appropriate:
"pfp (profile picture) by @carbomcoco"
"cr: @carbomcoco"
"credit" <- with a hyperlink pointing to the account or original upload
If they're not on this website, it's very similar. Just add a slash after the @ or omit it so that it doesn't erroneously tag someone's tumblr, and say what website they're on.
"by @/carbomcoco on XYZ"
"by carbomcoco on XYZ"
"credit" <- with a hyperlink pointing to the external social media account or original upload
If the artist you're citing isn't a social media person, just list their name and the title of the piece (if it has one). Maybe link their portfolio if they have one and the site lets you use hyperlinks.
"Sierra Morning 1995" by David Muench
"On Touch: Gather" by Linda Dennis
Does that make sense? Tell us who made it. Most of the time, that's all you gotta do. Question time
Q: What if I don't know who made the original artwork?
A: Try a reverse image search such as Google Lens. This will often help you find the original upload. If you can't find the original, there's a fairly good chance that you don't have the artist's permission to reuse it without crediting them. Furthermore, the more times it gets reuploaded without credit, the harder it's going to be for people to find who the original artist was. Now your post is probably showing up in reverse image searches too, and serving as another dead end. Someone else might save the image from your post and reupload it again to another site, once again without credit. Stop the spiral early.
Q: Why do I have to say who made it? Isn't it enough that people know it wasn't me?
A: Unfortunately, no. For artists who take commissions or sell prints, severing the connection between the art and the artist can impact their income. People can't support the creators of their favorite works if they don't know who that person is. Even for artists who don't make money from their art, if a piece of theirs goes viral and they aren't cited as the creator, they won't get the praise they deserve for making something that a lot of people really like. Sure, it's handy for people to know it wasn't you so that they don't erroneously try to commission you or anything, but the primary purpose is still to direct people to the original creator so that they can actually use that information.
Q: What about the fandom gifs and banners that I use to make my fanfiction/headcanon post look more aesthetic? Should I credit those, too?
A: Yes, even those. Don't just scroll through the tags, save gifs that gif-makers upload, and use them for your own posts without credit. Unless they've explicitly said you don't have to credit them, you should credit them. Again, reuploading uncredited material will make it even more difficult for people to figure out who made the original image. If crediting wrecks the aesthetic of your post, learn how to make your own gifs and graphics.
So, to recap:
If you didn't make it, say who did. Google is not an acceptable answer. Pinterest is not an acceptable answer. "not me" Is not an acceptable answer. "the original artist" is not an acceptable answer. Give a name.
If you don't know who made it, find out.
If you can't find out, don't reupload it.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

you seem to be posting about this a lot so i wanted to contribute something i noticed to an audience thats interested: if you would rather i make this my own post just answer this privately and i'll do so, you don't gotta post this at all if you don't wanna. ^_^
the main sideblog posted about the desktop layout today, and the sidebar specifically talking about the live puppet chat and the subscription area. i want to point out that it used to be the live puppet chat and the live cams. when you went to the live cams, it displayed the image that was the answer to the ask inquiring how dave was doing. the page still exists, too, just isn't on the sidebar anymore. [link to post] [link to livecams page] [archive.org link to show the old sidebar]
the image being reused to the live cams section could be a reference to the original post's tags, "#SEE PUPPETEERSPAWNS INEXPERIENCED HANDS TOUCH COUNTLESS FELT FRIENDS AND MORE!" theres a chance it doesnt mean anything/its not that deep. but in case it DOES mean something more later thought or i would make inform, or for those who are not on desktop tumblr and might wanna know the small details. ^_^
thanks for the info!! as a mainly mobile user i seriously missed a lot of stuff, so its rlly good to know what was/is happening on the desktop version lmfao
since the recent post actually showed dave (or "showed" as there was only an afterimage after the flashstep from the chair) methinks were gonna be gettin more livecams. well see how it goes...
#bro strider tumblr adventures#srsly thanks for the info!!#this whole thing is honestly mindblowing#its funny its uncanny valley its creepy its unsetteling its hilarious#revolutionary homestuck content#btw sorry for posting sm about this i am just Really Invested#should i make a sideblog for archiving i probably should

Gotta see it on a better screen, but the pandemic and shitty folks have made me paranoid about walk in theaters. Something about dark environments with few exits and me without any quickly accessible improvised weapon makes me feel trapped.
Anywho, some reflection on what I loved and didn't about Captain America Brave New World.
Spoilers below the cut.
In no particular order except fer 1 and last of things I loved
Samuel Thomas Wilson as Captain America.
Cap fight scenes. God I wish the drive in theater screens were brighter bc I feel like I missed so much detail, but he was kicking serious ass and talking excellent guff while doing so. That drop kick to Serpent's chest up outta the smoke was beyond awesome. And he looked dayum good while doing it. Plus, I liked the meanness. Folks forget this man was a highly trained combatant even without the use of his wings.
Joaquin Torres. Cute. Fine. Shit talker. Awestruck and still talking shit is like my fav. That smile. And being behind, with, and for Sam Wilson.
The. Suit. Whoo, that man looked so good and filled out that suit so well. Mmm, mmm, MMMMM.
Like they did in the show, they touched briefly on what it is to be a black man in this highly publicized position, the constant scrutiny and pressure to be more than perfect and the struggle of not being able to quit and fail those who 'fought for their seat at the table'. So many before him had to suffer, fight and die for him to even be in the rooms he's in and he doesn't take any of that for granted by always trying to be and do his best. His loyalty, morals and convictions remained untouched.
Cap's sick aerial moves against the jets and just in general. The slicing and dicing of the metal, the way he clamped down on the jet with the wings before busting the hatch open with the shield. Mmm. Yes, Cap. Beat those giant metal beast's ass, sir. And him surfing on the missle was cool af. Also, him lassoing and wrangling that unmanned jet was hot.
The confidence. Man's got a great swagger bout him and snatching the tags off of Isaiah was such a fun scene. Also, the way he stormed right on in to speak to President Temper Tantrum to get answers and advocate for his friend.
Joaquin's showboating and him having to plead with Sam to get out there and kick ass too.
The blades hidden in the wings he was throwing at folks. Woulda loved if they were magnetic too or could be called back to the wings for reuse and an unlimited arsenal.
Bucky coming through when Sam was reeling after having watched yet another friend fall. Riley, vision and now Joaquin and for each one he blamed himself though it was nowhere near on him any time. It was nice to see him come through as support only, not coming in to steal his shine in battle. The pep talk was good and I loved how that was mirrored in the end when Joaquin was gushing about how he wanted to be Sam. The I love you becoming cannon was excellent. Go Sambucky nation!
Things I didn't love, wish they weren't included or coulda been better.
Ruth, sabra, whatever the fuck was entirely pointless. The lil I've learned about the character and the actress just really made me think they included her only to create controversy. Leila Taylor could have easily been the head of security if they cared.
Speaking of, we get no confirmation that Leila was Sam's friend in the white house other than assumption. Unless I missed it. But, I don't recall a single interaction, a single sentence past between them that hinted at their past at all. Again, may have missed it. But her inclusion felt so minimal when I would have loved another character from Sam's background and hometown included to build more on his story. Especially since it's his fucking movie.
Not a single flashback? What happened to him in his ceremonial garb with the arm brace? Did I imagine that pic or is that scene lying cold and alone and unloved on some cursed editing room floor?
Isaiah Bradley yet again having to suffer to progress the story. He had to relive his trauma when unveiling his horrific story to Sam in the show. And then they brainwash and turn him into a weapon, a catalyst for some straight fuckery. The scene when Sam finally caught up to him broke my fucking heart.
Where tf was Eli Bradley? Ain't no rhyme, reason or excuse can explain away his absence, not even referenced by name, when his pops is all over the news labeled a terrorist. Ain't no way as protective as they portrayed him in the show would he just not fight like hell to show up, demanding Sam do something. Ain't. No. Way.
Them shrinking Sam's circle in his own fucking movie so they could focus on Ross and his 'redemption' shit. Great, he took accountability finally, but how many died before he did? How many suffered before he did?
Where tf was Sarah, Cass and AJ? How do you give him a family dynamic and then limit his interaction to just 2 people? Where is Sam's community?
The focus on Ross and him trynna make amends with his daughter.
Sam being back in the raft. Even if he was just a visitor, still pissed how they did him the first time. It woulda been a phone call if it were me, just saying.
Redwings go boom. đĽ˛
His wingpack being taking down.
Since when tf is adamantium stronger than vibranium? And wholeheartedly pissed off at that jab at Wakanda like them keeping a lockdown on that powerful a substance is wrong. Y'all was circling warships around an untapped island. They were 10000% correct in keeping that shit gatekept bc y'all power hungry fucks can't be trusted.
Not enough tiddie time. Petty in the grand scheme of dislikes, but, one scene was not enough, even if it was accompanied by a glancing Joaquin.
Isaiah buddying up with Ruth. Y'all not gone get me to like a character through Isaiah. Stop using his character for fuckery.

I was gonna reblog a post that had some really good points about these recent hbomb videos but then they went and used ableist language so I guess I gotta make my own post.
Please y'all, as fun as it is to make jokes about Tommy Tallarico and James Somerton and the other folks Hbomb has "taken down," we need to remember that taking these people down was NOT the point of his videos.
The Oof video was originally conceived as a simple video concept about how easy it is for our history to be lost and forgotten "through the lens of a video game sound that had been reused without credit for a decade." Hbomb fell into a black hole when he stumbled across all of Tallarico's lies and used the information he found to further emphasize his point. Credit in video games wasn't and sometimes still isn't taken seriously. The people that actually create the games (and other content) we love are often forgotten while the biggest names involved are put on a pedestal and given all the credit. That is the point of the video.
And the Plagiarism video also holds deeper meaning than just James Somerton. Plagiarism is a serious issue and there are multiple people profiting off of it. With things like ChatGPT, it's easier than ever to write something quickly that is based off of the hard work of others. When I think of "content mill" I usually think of videos like Five Minute Crafts (which also steal content and ideas from people btw!), not video essayists. So Hbomb's plagiarism video is a wake up call to all of us to be aware of the content we consume. Not only is plagiarism harmful to the original creators but it can also accidentally spread misinformation. Potentially extremely harmful misinformation.
Hbomb's videos always have a deeper meaning than "fuck this guy in particular." His Vaccine's video wasn't even purely about Andrew Wakefield, it was about how to combat misinformation.
Also, as someone who is very anti harassment, I beg of you, PLEASE do not go harassing people because of hbomb's videos. I don't care what they did, they don't deserve death threats, suicide baiting, or any cruelty directed at them. It's one thing to make funny posts about what they did here on tumblr but I beg you, do NOT go messaging them or tagging them or interacting with them in any way. Unless you have an actual legal dispute with them (such as if you paid money to them you would like refunded or if they plagiarized you) just don't talk to them.
In addition to harassment just being bad in general, we've seen in hbomb's video that James Somerton will weaponize that harassment. Someone very politely interacted with him and he claimed they sent him death threats. So let's not actually send him death threats please and thank you.

hey have you heard of the brand studio cult? they make accessories that i think maybe could be up your alley, if you're into things like earrings and rings and bags.
i just think your life will be better if you know that someone is out there making bread tag earrings and such.
https://studiocult.co/
i did look at this when you sent it and was very tickled!
look at this. it's so. high fashion. i have never had the dough or flamboyance (see: years of internalized misogyny) to rock this kind of stuff but it speaks to the soul. i would wear these now
not with a negative tone at all, now, just sharing my thinky-thoughts, butâthese product lines are honestly somewhat against the spirit of how i personally look at bread tabs.
i like collecting them in part *because* they are trash! i like to bring attention to the fact that they're a shitty single-use (reusable but seldom actually reused) plastic product that's hard to recycle and also an uncommon (afaik...?) but potentially very medically serious swallowing hazard. i love it when people collect their tabs and give them to me, but i really wouldn't want to be given a roll of unused ones bought from the factory. i would be okay with the occlupanid going extinct.
this is a kind of trendy, expensive-but-uses-the-poor-aesthetic artsy stuff i have very mixed feelings about because it's very consumerist (the irony of the literal "$3.99" on the $100 handbag lol), but also, like... good art. definitely so in this case. shines a dazzling reinterpreting romantic light onto the mundane ignored things in life, which i think is wonderful.
(and to be clear i don't think these are excessively expensive for a nice manufactured jewelry piece or bag; workers gotta get paid! seems very reasonably priced for what it is. it's just laughably outside of my budget because i'm a poor.)
idk. that's my trademark Overthink Everything lifestyle. i'm going to table that, accept this for what it is and enjoy seeing one of my special interests catered to. kudos to the designer. and thank you very much for sharing ^_^
