this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
#warm up#writeblr#actually this is because again i don't go here#i don't read/write fanfic but i have nothing but respect for my troops#but i also have never played minecraft. im sorry. please ask me any question about pokemon tho i love that shit#anyway#out of some banal and thoughtless curiosity i watched the minecraft movie trailer#and again i know nothing about minecraft. i am aware im in an endangered population#but im watching this going: this is so fucking.... BAD#there is NO LOVE in it!#like if someone who has NO history in minecraft watches that and is like - ohhh this is soulless#WHO IS THE AUDIENCE????#ppl who love minecraft are gonna hate it!!!#at some point it's the ''mean girls musical movie'' problem --#some people will always hate the premise of what you're doing and some people will love it#make it for the ppl who love it#and usually that somewhat convinces the haters to like. chill enough to TRY it . bc it IS good#but when you try to make it for the haters..... nobody likes it. it doesn't have passion. energy. footwork#which is a small way of saying a big thing: if you love something. fucking make it and assume someone will love it too.#i love u . be brave . be bold. be in boston and come to my reading#where i wrote a really weird fucked up little book.#love u love u love u etc

shoutout to this fic for being the funniest thing ive read in ages
i have way too many sketches,, will be adding them in rbs to this post
(note. the fic doesnt have an age for soundwave, nor does any canon so i just made it up bc i wanted to include him
also note: this fic doesnt seem to be set in any specific universe, but based on the art in the fic + some descriptions im loosely taking idw/g1 designs and mashing them up to make my own life easier)
#PLSPLS ITS SO GOOD#transformers#my art#optimus prime#megatron#soundwave#starscream#deadlock#ultra magnus#prowl#i am of the firm belief that writers should do whatever they want with their stories as long as its convincing and this fic.man

Obi-Wan's apprenticeship with Qui-Gon is a horse girl movie but they both think the other person is the horse.
#qui gon: i am retired but reluctantly took this 'problem' foal in after some convincing and am slowly seeing his overlooked potential#obi wan: i am gently coaxing this old jaded beat up horse back to the ranch with power of love so that i can win the tournament with him#obi wan kenobi#qui gon jinn#qui gon and obi wan#star wars

Currently swayed into the ‘Believe it or not, living with a British guy for decades WILL give Bruce an accent’ bandwagon.
It'd be so cute if it only slips out when Bruce does. He maintains a silence to Batman, when he prowls, — because Gotham isn't a gentle animal, so he can't be, either, — the lesser the chances to be recognized by voice, the better.
Nonetheless, talking can't be avoided forever. Especially not when dealing with scared people that have to be reassured.
“You know we’re basically CPS for adults, right?”
“Except we do our jobs.”
Martinez looks up at the sky, biting back a cackle, because he’ll be DAMNED if he laughs at this freak’s jokes. “I hate it when you're funny.”
He’s positive Batman frowns in confusion because he tilts his head, emulating a confused dog. “I’m not trying to be.”
“Oh, go FUCK yourself.”
Batman isn't interested in continuing their benter, much too busy with the crying child in the waiting room at the station. She's the tiniest witness there.
He must be the only vigilante carrying lollipops next to paralyzing gas.
The cadence in his voice simply burns off any dark intention associated with him. But if you listen as closely as Martinez does, you'll hear a poised arch in his accent.
“Here you go, love. Shall I get you a choccy while we talk to your father?”
Martinez sits and blinks for about a minute, which should earn him a record of some short.
#martinez now has to convince the station Batman is British. which is harder to do than convincing them he's Bruce Wayne#but it’s practically his comfort technique. not for everybody. when he talks to vulnerable people that's the tone he uses#he calls little boys he may encounter ‘lad’ and ‘sport’ while fretting bc WHY is a young child awake at 4 am#he also speaks so politely to sex workers. ‘thank you darling’ before leaving#GAHH. actually I may fold for British Batman.#bruce wayne#batman#battinson#but works with whatever!!#dc comics#the batman#batman 2022#officer martinez#text post

I've never been more normal in my life.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jin zixuan#jiang yanli#Both LWJ and JZX are failing so miserably at the deception check in this scene.#The maneuvers are wild. I am putting them into a petri dish.#LWJ yelling at the guy he's madly infatuated with. Who is earnestly asking what's wrong and trying to bridge the gap between you.#Absolute fumble. No wonder WWX is fully convinced this guy hated him. LWJ was dropping all the wrong signs.#No really. If you have a fraught relationship with someone and they yell at you -#-You can't really walk back from that. All you can do is go 'Oh I make this person *miserable* huh?' and leave them be.#And JIN ZIXUAN. My GUY. What were you doing here? Was it nerves?#Like go you for knowing so many snake facts (that is real by the way I didn't make that up).#And true. Some people really do go wild for knowledge dumps. I am assigning JYL as one of those people. To help him recover the fumble.#JZX being a little bit (a lot bit) lame is probably the best thing for his character. I like him just a bit more for this.

#gravity falls#Abandon my eulogy#stanley pines#stanford pines#tw character death#tw blood#animation#I did this in#*checks*#Wow 2 hours#my art#based on a fanfic#I hope you like it man#I spent a large chunk of the time just angrily going. ‘Fuck you. This was so good. Woe be upon ye’ (woe is my appreciation and also this)#Timing is hell I’m never doing it again (lie) (animation is so fun. To me) (look at themmmm my beloved sketchy little guys)#While I was drawing Stan I was kinda irritated cause no matter what I did he looked so dead and flat#Took me a second to realize that meant I was doing it right#The more I draw hands the more convinced I am that I’ve never drawn hands before in my life#It’s okay guys it came out nice that’s what matters#frankenstan au#mullet stan#paranoid ford

I’ve said this before, but I always found stories that frame heaven as “evil” and hell as “good” (or less bad) to be genuinely boring. I like more nuanced approaches to each realm.
I understand that for a lot of people, Christianity is a religion they like to criticize and mock, but I feel like if you don’t even understand the fundamentals of the religion, why even attempt to critique it?
#txt#an Angel wouldn’t be happy with mass genocide or abuse unless they convinced themselves there was a righteous reason for it#and more importantly. forgiveness and redemption is a huge part of Christianity#like as a queer person myself I get annoyed when queer writers pull the ‘well Christian’s oppressed us so we can do what we want’ card like#alright man. if you want to criticize the religion I am completely behind you#but if you’re going to heavily mischaracterized christianity to make it a black and white ‘evil’ religion. you look dumb
