I have such a burning loathing of Evert Ross as a character in the Black Panther movies. Every time he shows up, my face remembers what it was like to get hit by a softball so hard that I hit the ground and cried.
#black panther#i am convinced he was put in there as a requirement by the US military#in order to get funding#or this film to get released#because why the fuck is he there#this is not about martin freeman btw#i dont care about him#its just#imagine making a film called#and having a cia operative whose an expert at destabalizing nations for the us military and who is very proud of that#be one of the good guys#and the furthest examination or criticism of his actions we get is calling him a colonizer#and getting arrested by his own government#for treason he committed for personal reasons. not because he actually wanted to help wakanda. not because he feels any sort of guilt#for his own actions#but because they saved his life#after he insulted their country and head of state and competency as a nation#evert ross#i love the films they are wonderful#its is just#HIM#black panther spoilers#i guess?#mcu#marvel

imagine being scotty in tos. every day your friend group goes on dangerous yet exciting adventures to new planets but you can never go because they always make you babysit the ship. also you have to stay on facetime with them the whole time in case they need a lift. you are the eternal designated driver. the seventh wheel. you dont mind as much as you should though because you sort of want to fuck the ship
#an a24 film#kidding i know babysitting the ship is his job and he loves it#i do think about scottu alot though because hes always excluded from the triumvirute and we can assume chekov uhura and sulu are all close#because they are bridge crew so scotty’s not as close to them either#no wonder scotty wants to fuck the ship#hes the seventh wheel:(#i guess he can hang with bones if you belive the mcscott shippers#still i would not want to be scotty even though he is baller af#he has no bestie on the enterprise except the warp drive#i didnt think i had this many thoughts about scotty#weird#star trek tos#tos#montgomery scott#scotty tos#star trek#jim kirk#spock#bones mccoy#the triumvirate

Just wanted to say I really enjoy following you and seeing posts on my feed of your oc's! Here's a quick sketch of Machete I drew as I find his design to be amazing
.
#that's so terribly sweet ;_;#thank you for your kind words#I really like your lineart your shapes have such wonderful flow and effortless certainly to them#and I've mentioned how much I love texturous brushwork#really pleasing to the eyes#he looks so charming and personable in your style#maybe this is a weirdly specific thing to say but something about this makes me think of character concept art for an animated film#thank you!#gift art#artnwill#own characters#Machete#*certainty

Me? Posting finished art? Ain't no way :O
No but @korruptbrekker reached out to me and asked if I was interested in doing a collab (go check out their piece here, I implore you), and you know I could not say no to such a wonderful artist asking lil ol me to do something fun like this. We ended up doing a swap @laugaheim and I came up with ages ago that I so sussinctly refer to as a moodboard-sketch-lineart-render swap. Rolls right off the tongue, right? Nah but it's exactly what it says. Make moodboards, swap and sketch from the other's, swap again and line the other's sketch, and then swap once again and finish the piece you sketched.
Very big thanks to Brekker for reaching out! This was so fun, I hope we can do something together again in the future!
#seriously this was so much fun#i forgot how much i love doing swaps like these#and i had a lot of fun rendering this#i was handed a really beachy and warm and cozy moodboard and you all know im down bad for some totes adorbs viktuuri#so i gave into all my impulses#also ALSO because im me the instax mini film phichit is holding (yes he has an instax mini because i said so) is the right scale and ratios#because i cant do anything halfway#and this illustration is made on a canvas that has the same dimensions as instax square film#and yes that is indeed a green carnation shirt yuuri is wearing why would you ever think i had it in me to not make him look like a gay dad#viktors just fabulous as ever because of course he is#when is he not#i need his outfit#if you ever wonder why viktor is wearing something in my art the answer is always that i personally want to own it#or because its fabulously queer but those two categories have a large amount of overlap#anyway thanks again to you brekker for this awesome project!#yuri on ice#yuri on ice fanart#fanart#art#arom antix art#arom antix#collab#katsuki yuuri#viktor nikiforov#viktuuri#phichit chulanont

man reading folks say LITBC is most likely~ and probably~ inspired by shows like Sex in the City & Friends is so wild to me and makes me wanna write something about like, other Korean media about relationships set in Seoul (which are like, so fucking many lmao like are we playing? are we acting out? are we being silly?) or otherwise about sex, love and life in a big city
idk why fandom always wants to connect things back to America like sure American media is fucking everywhere cause America is Like That (unfortunate) but idk man the author himself talked about what inspired LITBC and it wasn't some American tv shows three decades old
anyway if you dig LITBC I think it'd be worth reading Until I Meet My Husband both the BL manga (published by Penguin) and the original memoir (published by 7Seas). It's got similar vibes and is also about a gay man navigating his sexuality, coming out, life and relationships.
#love in the big city#litbc#chaos pikachu speaks#hmmmm am i gonna write an overly long essay about other shows/comics/etc with similar vibes?#idk i'm so lazy lol#i just can't with this idea that all non american media is somehow directly inspired by american media lmao#as if single in seoul didn't come out last year and stars one of sk's biggest actors#shit like this is gonna get me kicked lol#anyway I wonder how the film compares to the show

Ya'll catch the final rose ceremony at the end of s4?!
#byler#stranger things#'last nights episode ended on a cliffhanger with the audience left wondering who bachelor-mike would choose--'#'will he choose the one who walked around the rose delicately to stand with it framed neatly in the background between the two of them?--'#'or will he choose the one who bulldozed it?'#'all will be answered tonight on the series finale of bachelor apocalypse'#no but seriously is that flower in front of el cgi?#depending on how many takes this shot took... i don't think they'd have something like this occur unless they wanted it to#i know they hand picked flowers for these shots#but it's not like that rules out them using movie magic#especially in this case where it was apparently important enough for them to handpick in the first place...#meaning there is in fact some significance to it#i hope this shot puts the 'it's not a love triangle' allegations to rest#like idk why fans would rather believe the duffers are sorcerers who can do dozens of things coincidentally all fitting a specific narrativ#bc that would honestly be way more impressive to me than them just using basic film techniques and tropes lmao

YES.
ALL OF THIS.
THIS is why this film still hits so hard after all these years.
It’s not some sugary BS about “you can think yourself out of suicidal depression by just learning to appreciate what you’ve got”.
It’s about the fact that people who work really fucking hard for their communities experience active, targeted, criminal pushback from exploiters.
About the fact that caring, in all its manifestations, is incredibly physically and mentally taxing and is often done by disabled people - YES, George Bailey is a disabled protagonist. His impairment prevents him from military service and actively causes him chronic pain that, as a person who lives with it, *will* affect his energy levels and fatigue constantly.
Notably, IAWL actually has a bunch of disabled characters. Not only is George disabled, but I’d put money on his uncle who loses the money being ADHD and very possibly having other learning disabilities and the film *actively* flagging that fact to the audience, even if it doesn’t necessarily know what ADHD is.
Which casts a whole new light on its principal villain being disabled. Instead of Old Man Potter being a flat caricature of “disability = evil”, what he *actually* is is a fantastic example of the fact that marginalisation in one axis does not prevent someone being an active oppressor - and wealth and class privilege, in particular, tend to mean a person actively acting to oppress other people who share their marginalisation in order to privilege the interests of their own class as a whole. Sometimes even damaging their own individual interests to do so.
It’s also super interesting that the *material* miracle in the film is not the appearance of an angel to show George what life would have been like if he had never existed, but the *community solidarity* that saves him from jail and his family from penury. The supernatural intervention can change his *mindset*, and that is *incredibly* important, given it *literally* stops him killing himself, but the *material* intervention is mutual aid from his own community that he has given so much to.
Which is incredibly radical as a message. It’s not saying “faith is worthless”; it’s saying “faith can be an incredibly important factor in creating resilience in moments of despair, but we can’t, and *need not*, wait for a supernatural miracle to save us; we have the capacity to save ourselves and each other in our hands right now”.
#it’s a wonderful life#film criticism#disability#disability in media#mutual aid in media#george bailey#wow I know I liked it’s a wonderful life but apparently my feelings are way stronger than I appreciated#why I fucking hate sugary reductionism in pop culture sometimes#fuck I love this movie#disability in film

Dune, or: "The House of Atreus continues to be mega-cursed even in the distant future in space"
#dune#dune part two#dune 2024#dune 2#paul atreides#atreides#house of atreus#greek mythology#sci fi#god i love it when mythology and sci fi intersect#it is so juicy#it took me far too long to remember where i'd heard the name before though#i wonder if that makes the baron the allegorical tantalus in this situation#as he is the grandfather of 'atreides'#baron harkonnen#the kin-slaying was already very mythological in theme#and the film was definitely leaning into those visuals#especially during the fight sequence w paul and feyd-rautha#i am Chewing this#tantalus

I was rewatching my favourite dc animated film and I felt the need to share this
Love their friendship
Btw the film is justice league: New frontier
It’s a 2008 film set in the 50s and it is kind of Hal Jordan/Martian Manhunter centric
#love them#she’s so girlboss#it has been years since I last saw this film#and I wasn’t obsessed with Hal Jordan before so it was a new experience#Hal was soooo good#diana prince#barry allen#flash#wonder woman#justice league#new frontier

[Image description: A digital drawing based on the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. On the left, there's David Bowman's face within a space helmet, lit up by red light. He's looking forward, eyes shining with tear that haven't dropped yet. His mouth is open, his expression one of disbelief. Behind this, there's a rocky landscape with a dark monolith in the middle, being touched by two apes. These apes have space helmets on, the top one wearing a green one and the bottom one wearing a yellow one. Overlayed on the monolith there's the circular lens of Hal, glowing a bright red. The ground is grey with purple and green shading, while the sky is a lighter yellow that ascends into whites. The lineart is a very dark blue, with lots of shadows. The colour scheme is cold and muted.]
