older designs for my specialest guy

If I had a nickel for every time an older, lovesick cannibalistic serial killer in a medical-adjacent field homoerotically manipulated Some (pretty) Guy’s darkest desires into becoming a killer and then ambiguously killing him, I would have two nickels. That I currently know of.

I'm sure this has already been done, but I was rewatching Two Towers and I could not unsee the parallels of Aragorn trying to return Arwen's necklace and the mix tape scene from 12x19 ��

There’s a universe in which Sonic the hedgehog is a skilled actor with a well-earned reputation for doing all his own stunts. He bit off more than he could chew in a high-risk action movie once and got injured. Sonic insisted the director should hire a good friend of his, Shadow, as his stunt double. They’d been told countless times that they looked alike and, as much as Sonic hated to admit it, Shadow equaled him in boldness and athleticism. Once Shadow showed the director what he was made of and learned to match Sonic’s running style, he was hired.

Shadow wasn’t the only friend of Sonic’s who was on set. Amy Rose, a talented up-and-coming actress, played the main love interest. She and Sonic were amicable exes, so although the love scenes were a little awkward, filming was fun and easy.

Much to the director’s frustration, Amy was just as reckless as Sonic; she’d looked up to him as a young actress and still emulated a lot of his tendencies. On top of that, she had a very distinctive fur color, and she was strong enough to do stunts that her doubles couldn’t. Before long, the director’s blood pressure was through the roof.

The most dangerous scene was in a subway, with cast members fighting inside and on top of moving trains and leaping onto station platforms. The villain’s double had gotten his foot stuck in an emergency exit door on the back of a train car. Amy jumped in to help, but in the process of wrenching it open, she lost her footing and fell onto the tracks. She was an inch away from getting hit by a train when Shadow dove in, pulling her into an indent in the wall with him.

Sonic was close enough to see their faces. By the time Shadow was asking Amy if she was alright, she was smitten.

The scene was reworked, but that wasn’t the only thing that had changed. Sonic knew what Amy looked like when she was in love, and he knew just as well that Shadow needed someone like her in his life.

For the remainder of filming, Sonic sat out for stunts whenever he felt he could get away with it, claiming he just wasn’t feeling up to it yet to make sure the two of them had as much time together as possible. By the time the movie hit theaters, half of the tabloids were circulating a rumor that a certain actress had a new boyfriend.

The other half fell for the body double gimmick and thought she’d gotten back together with her ex.

Sonic’s reputation as a wild man who did all his own stunts took a hit after that, but he felt it was worth it to see his friends happy together.

Question about tattoos, if that's alright! If not, please feel free to ignore this. I have four tattoos, but none were handpokes. I've always been curious about getting one done, perhaps across my hand. Is it truly so painless as you described in the comic? Can you find a professional artist willing to do them? I had one tell me that none would, which was disappointing. Thank you for your time ❤️

based on my experience - YES. it was maybe 2/10 pain for me, it hurt less than getting my ears pierced. it takes a long time and you can kind of feel your skin like. popping. which is a bit weird. i can't say anything about the most painful areas for tattoos but to compare, i have one on my inner bicep next to one of my more painful machine tattoos and i hardly felt the handpoke at all.

you can ABSOLUTELY find professional handpoke artists!!! the idea that you can only get them in someone's dirty basement is outdated, most handpoke artists work in studios and they can be just as clean and professional as machine tattoos. also you can have a nice nap which you don't usually get with most tattoos

i’m tired of toxic wlw give me soft wlw. i want them to hold hands and steal glances and blush as they catch each other’s eyes. i want them to comfort each other in their embrace and pat each other’s head and brush their fingers through the hair. i want them to go on dates and read to each other random book passages in the bookstore. i want them to draw love confessions on each other’s backs with their fingers. i want gentle wlw, i want kind wlw

i’m so interested in transformers now you’ve talked about it so much

do you have any recommendations for someone who knows nothing about it?

Man it’s crazy what hyperfixation does to a person dfjfhgf I’ve only really known transformers for 2 months+ now… I only knew Optimus was the big autobot guy, bumblebee yellow guy, Megatron evil, and the only transformer I knew I liked was Shockwave. Compared to then I know so much now o<o

To actually answer your question though! I’ve only seen 2 transformers series, and Transformers One… and I think there’s an argument to be made for all 3 to be a good fun intro!

Maybe Transformers Prime would be the best overall ‘intro’ because you get to learn more context of the transformers universe throughout the show, at least for me. It has lots of genuine+serious moments while having excellent humor, I’ve barked a laugh multiple times throughout the series jdhfd. It has a real cinematic and Grand feel through it all. Also my guys Soundwave and Shockwave are there 🥰 🥰 🥰

I’m not done watching Transformers Animated, but it has an overall lighter tone, and (from what I know!!) Kinda flips the script around the lore? Like how Optimus isn’t the leader of the Autobots, they’re small compared to the Decepticons, uh… (Soundwave isn’t around much 😭) but it’s fun! Also, lots of likeable characters (especially the Decepticons wink wink wonk wonk wink wonk)

Transformers One 😍 I mean. It’s amazing cinema in general, though I don’t know how good it is for someone who doesn’t know transformers? But I think it’s easy to follow the plot, and it’s fantastic for seeing Orion and D’s journey to becoming Optimus and Megatron respectfully. You also get Cybertron lore which I loved! I think the only downside is you won’t recognize characters, which is fine (Llama pointed out the bots I don’t recognize)

Also I hear (from llama) the 1986 movie is good too!

A study I did of Julio Cortázar hace poco💓

I’ve rediscovered his short stories (let’s be honest…did I ever forget them😭) and I’m once again reminded of how much of a MASTER he was at writing and crafting a good story. I’m just rereading Final del juego today because it’s rainy, and every time I finish one of his stories I just sit around for a bit like the narcos meme😆

Cortázar always said that the author only does half of the job in writing, and it’s up to the reader to do the rest. All of these stories are just SO good & honestly quite short, but stick with you well after you read them🙏 he just plays so much with time, the supernatural, life and death, shifting reality, etc

PLEASE TELL ME YOUR FAVORITE SHORT STORIES!!!!!!!!! (In any language…I’m just on a latam authors kick right now because I LOVE magical realism)

Some of my favorites:

Continuidad de los parques: this is like THE quintissential Cortázar short story (only a page long) & is so so so good🤌 (english version)

Una flor amarilla: this is my favorite I think. I love to think of life as a cycle…and this just always makes me think so much when I finish🤌 the existential dread of knowing you’ve ended what should be the endless cycle of your life…& if it’s worth it to end things, or if it’s better to let them go on as they are (I can’t find an English version online😭)

El ídolo de las Cícladas: ummmmmm this one had me😳😳😳 I just LOVE the supernatural & creepy rituals, fulfilled prophecies…jealousy…

No se culpe a nadie: this one is just about a guy trying to put on his blue sweater but it makes me claustrophobic like nothing has done before😭😭😭 (english version)

This might be an incredibly specific ask, and I may be asking in the wrong places, however..

Are there any good wlw novels set in fantasy/history, with the same writing style and vibe as danmei novels such as TGCF, MDZS, Ballad of Sword and Wine etc?

Any fictional setting will do, I'm just putting feelers out there since it's been a long time since I've found a book series I've truly fallen in love with :(

Fanart of Seiko from @zarinthel ‘s “Fallow Fields” ! (Slaps roof) this bad boy can fit so much trauma in it

[essektheylyss]

hi hello hi I need to scream for a sec but I HAVE A SHORT STORY IN A PRINT ANTHOLOGY! like a real actual physical book!!! the anthology as a whole is about resource scarcity and specifically the moment a resource runs out, and true to form I wrote a funky thing about time and grief and messy familial relationships and gardening. cuz what is there to do when something ends other than to keep maintaining your plants.

this isn't even to say you should totally buy this thing but if you do want to check it out, it's available for preorder

[percivalklossowskithefifth]

i honestly feel like some relationships need to be explored even more. much more. preferably in a written form. on some strange site that resembles an archive. the one that we people own.
