How To Respond To Anyone Who Asks You How To Get Started Shooting Film

By Johnny MartyrYesterday on one of the film photography groups on Facebook, someone asked, as they often do, about learning to use a film camera that they just bought. The first responses boiled down to “watch YouTube” without any specific links. I think this is bullshit frankly. Maybe it’s just because I’m old but I actually took photography classes in college and learned by working with an…

So for many, many years, the Prince believed that he was safe. And the price he paid for his safety was his freedom...

i do think peak comedy is a steve who is absolutely aware of the effect he has on people, but has never felt that way towards anyone else-- the closest he got was with nancy and robin, because he loved them both in different ways, and sometimes he felt like he was going to go insane if he didn't talk to them or touch them right now, but it was never like he had seen other people act about him. robin and nancy made him a better person. they didn't drive him to ridiculous levels of violence and obsession. maybe people in hawkins were just fucking weird.

and then he meets eddie, falls in love with eddie, and he's like... yeah, okay. alright. no, i get it. if anything happened to this guy i would steal the nuclear launch codes.

i think filmmaking and marble sculpting would be such fun artforms to dabble in if that were a possible thing to do

Evolution of Daredevil Television & Film Media 1975-2025 👓🦯

I inflicted this in the discord so I will inflict it on Tumblr as well: SFTH Character Ghost Hunting Show AU

(Brought to you by a Phasmophobia stream I recently watched)

The working cast is

Titch (TUA) - the skeptic/host

Derek (TUA) - camera man

Samantha (Egbert’s Wife, TLW) - resident medium

Jimmy (TSP) - scaredy cat/intern

Older!Julian (PoH) - supernatural informationist/other intern

Titch gets away from the family business to run a local history/nature show but ends up turning into a ghost hunting show. He meets Derek as a camera man first. Julian was his first hire followed by Samantha and, recently, Jimmy who is doing a summer internship.

Julian’s play takes place and so does Jimmy’s. After the events of TSP, Jimmy was advised to take a leave of absence. He was originally hired to be a body guard/security specialist but that plan went off the rails. Titch still hired him though since the kid seemed spooked in his own skin.

Samantha’s play doesn’t take place but she still has her family’s weird family values and dynamics. Egbert’s is in the military and Samantha didn’t want the life of a military wife. She left everything and took the first supernatural-esque job because 1) it’s easy money and 2) she’s the most goddamn authentic “medium” then any other schnub they might hire.

Extra shit:

If I ever write this, it would open up in a tour of various haunts in (unspecified country so I can use both European and American sites since space is fake). They’re on episode 10 of this show and every other one was a dud.

Titch ensures the show is 100% honest and talks about things like “that previous house had a gas leak, people ate shrooms near here, this building’s wiring is way out of code.” He does play the skeptic after all.

Jimmy overreacts to everything but he’s also the fan favorite. It also adds a nice comedy to everything.

Samantha is pretty done with everyone. She makes sure Jimmy and Julian don’t get into trouble like the big sister she is.

Julian is a baby duck by Titch’s side and does want to pursue a career in supernatural television (mostly because I love the “TV Show” bit with Father Andrews haha).

Derek is the camera man/video editor. He’s 100% responsible why most of the scenes focus on Titch even if he’s not the main focus of the shot. That’s why he makes sure he’s the editor so nobody has to see all of that.

Now their show is nearly the end of its current run and no actual supernatural stuff. (Though Samantha was very insistent there were some in Episode 3.) Episode 10’s stop?

The Langbrook Manor, home to the mysterious deaths of the Langbrook family and the equally mysterious disappearance of the previous Lady, Annabelle.

Their “no supernatural” streak ends there.

This has been on my thoughts all night.

Johnny Martyr's Top Ten, er, Eleven Blog Posts of 2023!

by Johnny Martyr An easy blog topic that you’ll see this time of year will be retrospective lists. Retrospectives are a great way to drive more traffic to previous posts without much effort and keeping your post frequency in tact. For some reason, lists are a great way to excite search engines too. Combine these simple ingredients and you can’t fail. Well, shamelessly, I am no better than any…

When you think back on that time, or that movie, or us, what's the sentence or the word that comes to mind when you have that memory?

Sinners Become Human | Hazbin Hotel AU

Concept: For one week every month, the sinners of hell take on their human forms and all the good and bad that comes with it.

----------------------------------

Once The Extermination is postponed till further notice, Charlie and Emily work to get sinners interested in redemption.

Unfortunately, they are unsuccessful and they have no idea how to convince sinners to take a chance and better themselves to get into Heaven.

The former humans (Angel, Husk, Alastor, Niffty) at the Hotel attempt to cheer her up by explaining human nature and how Hell and their demonic forms only exacerbate the disconnect from their humanity and make it more difficult to want to do good things.

And that gives her an idea. She can't change Hell itself (yet) when no one will work with her but she CAN bridge the gap...

In place of the Extermination, sinner demons will take on their human forms one week in every month. They will have no access to their powers, deals, or contracts during this duration.

And if you're killed as a human, you can't respawn until the week is over.

Sera and Lucifer are forced to work together once Emily & Charlie enthusiastically propose the idea. And sinners all over Hell wonder what fresh torture this is and if they should consider Heaven just to escape this bullshit.

An exploration of morality, community, perseverance, and what it means to be human. Exploring the concept of dehumanization and how sinners unintentionally view themselves and their fellow demons as less than human because of their demonic forms.
