Never will I stop with the steadfast notion that folks in the DPXDC fandom should interact with at least some form of canon DC media.
There are comics, tv shows, radio dramas both old and new, podcasts, movies, magazines, so much shit that intentionally avoiding the media is simply preventing yourself from spawning new ideas and gaining a new appreciation for a fandom that you’re already in.
The Superman Radio Show has episodes 11 minutes long. A lot of the TV shows don’t have episodes that surpass 30 minutes and most are nearly fully clipped on the official DC YouTube channel. The amount of fan made motion comics is astounding. The amount of fanmade animations is equally as incredible.
#bones rants#dpxdc#I’m so tired with this fandom basically inbreeding concepts until it dies because people refuse to look at DC and accept new pieces of media#on the media that they consumed. your choice!!!#I’m just so tired. if anyone responds to this with even a sentence review of a NEW piece of DC media that they saw ill write a prompt based-#as things that should be explored. I’ve been blocked by many folks bc of this notion and it BAFFLES me. how is consuming media-#such an absurd request? there’s such a bountiful amount of such cool characters to check out and I don’t even#have the energy to write them because I know that people ignore those prompts bc they don’t take the effort to look at new things#I know this because I’ve done it time and time again and still do my best to showcase new characters#the difference between batfam prompts and literally any other character prompts is staggering#it just makes me sad man. I’ve more than once posted reccomendations for DC media on my page#I’m spoon feeding it to people and they still slap the spoon away like I’m pretending broccoli is an airplane and they see the veggies#bones writes in the tags#bones speaks#danny phantom#dp x dc

Why is it that the Quinton Reviews Sam and Cat part 3 video has made me emotionally invested in the relationship between a gay cannibal streamer and his former MMA fighter assistant from a children's show I've never watched?
#quinton reviews#henry danger#frankini#goomer#i need them to come back#just so we know if they get back together#i wont watch it#but ill look it up on the wiki later

got a new book from a local witchy store and i am So Excited to read it - its “Secrets of Greek Mysticism; a modern guide to daily practice with the Greek gods and goddesses” by George Lizos,,, im only a couple chapters in but it seems like itll be a really good read !!
#ill upload a proper review once ive read the whole thing#theres three sections of the book#the first is greek myth vs theology and how context shapes religion#and how the standard knowledge on the greek gods is from the myths and not the religion#the second section is all about the twelve olympians with hestia instead of dionysus#each god has some info about them as well as their virtues some symbols a meditation and hymns#and finally the third section is about connecting with the gods daily montly and yearly as well as altar info and various rituals#ive been kinda stuck in my practice lately so im hoping this will be the push i needed to further my craft#witchcraft#witchblr#hellenic deities#hellenic polytheism#marlowe selenophiliiaa#pagan#helpol#hellenistic witch#greek gods

Look, there's so much that I love about certain otome but I really don't finish every route every time ?? But 7'scarlet, Steam Prison, and Norn9 all got completed! So they get the rec spots!
Honorable mentions: Nightshade (ninja otome, same artist as Norn9 thus I love it even if I haven't completed every route - Switch) Period Cube (I also fully complete it and the art is very nice imo and I enjoyed it a lot but it has really bad reviews from like. everywhere I see. but here's my shill of appreciation anyway - PS Vita) Sweet Fuse (it's just really fun to yell at men for being sexist - PSP)
But genuinely, there's a lot out there! Do the research on the game before you buy them! Not all otome are for everyone.
#moe talks a lot#why the hell am i spending so much time on these answers for otome just wondering#im asking myself this constantly while drawing them#also i am a hino defender and i want to throw hands with every single reviewer for the game (that ive read)#he deserves so much more appreciation IMO but i also dont wanna fight with people about it#everyones gonna like different dudes its fine just dont call him boring ill cry#im currently playing 9 RIP that someone bought for me and its also enjoyable but i havent done AS MUCH as id like to properly rec it#but well see because oh baby those character designs#ive already adopted like .... three characters#one isnt even an LI i just have adopted her as my daughter#wait whats that me adopting a side character while calling myself a freak for side characters? no way!#you have to understand first and foremost..... i am a huge fan of supporting casts#if i told you that the local cop has a beef with a 12 year old in 7scarlet is that anything?#i actually JUST googled bc I have been talking about the kid a lot tonight and i kept saying hes 12#and im like i actually dunno how old he is#oh my god hes actually 12 how do i do it gang

✨2024 makes wrap up! ✨
this ended up being a big year for me in terms of makes, though it didnt really feel like it at the time! im also realising how many of these projects i never did a proper wrap up post for, so i will try and do some more of those over the coming weeks!
Total sewing projects: 11 Costumes completed: 3 UFOS finished: 1.5 (one was a long-awaited alteration) buttons sewed for coworkers: 13 (ish)
and the full list, with links to posts as i write them!
Anne Pants
Anne Blouse
Anne Corset
Flora Dress
Janet Skirt
Record Bag
Ginny Skirt alteration
Ginny Vest
The Coat
Skirt alteration
Minecraft Guardian plushie
bonus mentions:
(things that werent sewing projects or didnt get completed, but felt important enough not to leave off!)
Anne necklace
Cross stitch progress
design a dress
swallow ita bag
below the cut ive wrote a little about the projects with pictures, if you wanna read more in depth thoughts!
Anne took up most of the start of my year, working from february to may on the parts of the costume. it took me outside my comfort zone in a lot of ways- my first time making pants, and the corset presented a whole bunch of new challenges, being in leather- any seam i made was impossible to fix. i made a whole bunch of mistakes, but im incredibly happy with the overall results anyway.
I took a break after Anne, chilled out, did some cross stitch, only to jump head first into Flora on an impulse (aka my friend said "do you want to?" and i said "say less") In spite of the time crunch, she was quite an easy build, following a pattern, not too much fitting, and most of the problems ended up being of my own making. after coming back to redo her hem in october, im super happy with how things came out!
I floated around for a bit over the summer, messing around with patterning the wing collar for the design-a-dress for a while, working on my Janet skirt, and patterning a couple other miscellaneous things before throwing myself into mcm prep again! as mentioned, i redid my Flora hem, and i also decided to learn a new type of skill! bag making!!!
Looking at my archive, i dont think i ever posted anything about the bag i made for Maggie, which is frankly a crime, because i love this thing!!! it was absolutely a learning curve & i didnt have all the best choice of materials (it was mostly scraps from my job and things from in my stash) but i really did learn so much that i can take forward into the future- which there definitely will be a future! i already have plans for at least three more bag projects, and im gonna figure out how to make ita bags too :D
then it was full steam ahead into november, and i decided i could finish another costume this year, and so it was time for Ginny! She was a mix of refashioning & from scratch work, but every fabric piece was made with recycled materials. I loved making this costume, it was super fun to mess around with techniques with no worry about how professional it looked at the end because she was such an obscure costume!
At the same time i was working on Ginny, i decided it was high time i finally finished the coat i started working on... two years ago ''':) this too was all about learning new techniques and understanding proper construction, and i am so, so happy with the results. theres definitely a couple pieces id like to come back and revisit at some point (looking at you, collar -_-) but i know those are mostly things only im going to see. im so glad i put it down for a while, i think ive done a lot better than i would have done this time last year- and i know when ive given it some time and come back again, ill do better then, too. but its wearable and cute, and i finally have a lovely winter coat :)
I thought i would be finishing the year with a couple of long overdue alterations to my favourite skirts, but i ended up only getting one done when my coworker asked for help making a christmas present for their friends kid. the second she showed me the pattern, i knew i could do better, and so i wrapped up my year with a mad dash to make a plushie guardian in a week before i finished work for the year.
You should know by now i love a challenge, and this sure was something different! i think id do things differently if i had more time, but im super happy with how this guy came out! it was great practice for satin stitching on my machine & working with tricky fabrics, and i think id definitely like to make another one, with a few changes to the design- and the colours of the fabric, as i had nothing to do with those! im telling the kid its a shiny guardian ;) either way, i hope the kid has a great time using him as a mace !!
and thats my year in review!! im hoping next year ill be able to do another one of these and be just as proud of everything ive achieved :)
#LOVE to talk about my plans. hate to post finished pictures#(mostly bc i get frustrated to the enddddd)#i will try and spend some time writing them up this week though!!! i feel like especially for anne i jst. stopped writing halfway through#i think the summary is. im just. so so proud of myself actually#i felt like this was a weird year in terms of being productive#i had mad periods and then months off#and i shoved a whole bunch of stuff into the end of this year#id like to not do that next year#but even if i didnt achieve the Most amount of things. im still so so proud#i did that#looking at it all in one post. im so proud of me#i cant wait to see who ill grow into#sewing#year in review#2024 wrapped#cosplay#sewist#im counting each piece of a cosplay as its own thing bc if it wasnt for a cosplay then it would be an individual garment#i havent included the Details but yeah. anne blouse was its whole own thing

i think it should be possible to scream without making any noise or disturbing anyone or inviting any questions . just sometimes . as a treat .
#hhhhHHHGHGHHHHHH#jay screams into the void#(deeply personal rant incoming feel free to ignore)#a friend of mine has just been undiagnosed with bpd which . lovely for them but it sure as fuck invites a Lot of questions#suddenly a great deal of previous shitty behaviour that was excused on the basis of bpd has a lot more to answer for#(obligatory I Know BPD Isn't An Excuse To Treat People Like Shit . im aware . i have bpd myself and i have v high standards re my behaviour)#(however allowances were made bc they were unmedicated & out of therapy through no fault of their own)#(and our whole group has enough experience with untreated mental illness to understand that it can make u a bitch sometimes)#but yeah no there have been a LOT of instances of b&w thinking + manipulation + unfair judgement + high emotion + snap reactions#and every situation Could be explained by untreated bpd and the bad times have never been prolonged or often enough to outweigh the good#but Hoo Boy if that wasn't bpd then what the FUCK was it#like either the new psychiatrist is wrong (possible but i seem to be the only one questioning it) or they're just Like That#and again . not enough to outweigh their numerous positive and loveable traits#but the whole group has been destabilised on a number of occasions due to their actions during a bad spell#and i'm really not sure Any Other Explanation is enough to justify that#ah well . this seems like the kind of thing that will eventually come up during a sleepover heart to heart#but rn i'm stuck in a bubble of MAJOR rsd & brainfuck abt it . which is unfortunate bc now is exactly the time i Don't need brainfuck#anyways ✨ goodnight tumblrinas i am . kind of hoping nobody read this bc i fear i sound like a bitch#i am genuinely happy for their undiagnosis it seems to have put many things into perspective for them & theyre v happy about it#i'm just . uncomfy w some aspects of it that i have only been halfway brave enough to discuss with them personally#That's One To Bring Up With My Therapist In A Few Weeks#Bit Of A Shame I'm No Longer In Therapy And Now Have Only 2 Quarterly Reviews Left Before I'm Discharged From The Service

nervous abt some life changes rn but i might leave scribble comms open indefinitely for like £5-12. not doing it yet bc im quite flustered
stuff like this where its messy and silly, and neither party can be too nitpicky u know??? takes less time to draw and would be easier to commit to than a full comm (which takes a month+ when i commit if im being generous to myself </3)
realistically itd be £5 for a basic scribble and £10 two tone. £12 for flat colour. and no extra character charges unless ur lit asking for 3+
#not art#i havent reviewed my actual comm prices and dont think ill open them just yet bc ive been too slow but this i could do#wouldnt be as fast as a whippet but it would be faster than a full lined piece or clean sketch#prices not set in stone i might do £5 > £8 > £12 bc it feels grounded

Or even better, you can become a YouTuber. That way you can edit your streams or just ramble non-stop about lore for shit you like
oh i fear that'd involve listening to my voice and i'd rather die than do that
#snap chats#there's no sound i hate more in the world than my own voice. that and forks scraping against plates but anyways#the idea's always sounded fun to me and im a firm believer you shouldnt let small things like hating your voice stop you#so who knows ... youd have to shoot me to get serious lore review videos out of me tho LMAO#i am NOT intelligente nor organized enough for that. im just a silly man on the internet#in any case i did used to post stream vods to my youtube. and then i deleted all of theme vjEAKJAEKVJ#at least with vods i could just post them since Theyre Vods theyre meant to be unedited and not reviewed and whatever#i did think of editing streams down so its not just like three hours of dead air and then SOMETHING mildly interesting happening#idk. maybe ill try recording a rivals vid tomorrow or something#see the idea of streaming just might be awkward if i want to look at chat tho since i only have one monitor buuut i do have a phone#and my tablet or whatever. i used to use my phone as a Slightly Better webcam than my cpu's built-in one but anyway#im putting too much thought into something im probably not gonna even do vJLKVJAELKJ#i like thinking ... cause again i just think itd be fun and silly and fun ..#OH WELL

After years of wanting one, but not being able to justify the price tag, I finally treated myself to a PS5. It's been an incredibly rewarding weekend getting to play Spiderman 2 for hours upon hours and not have to worry about work for a while. It's been a stressful year, especially these last few weeks, and I still have a ton of stuff to get done before our winter break, so this was a much needed respite to relax and recharge for the next couple weeks.
#between black friday deals and extra discover cashback#i just couldnt resist#i got the console and the 2 games i really wanted#after 3 pretty full days of play#im 80 percent through spiderman 2#probably wont play again till the weekend#need to catch up on shows after work#im hoping once were on break from work i can start ratchet and clank rift apart#ill have 2 weeks off so i can play as much as i want then!#oh and even the preloaded tutorial game is pretty fun!#i can finish that too#and even though i have all the uncharted games for ps4 im considering getting the remaster pack of 4 and lost legacy#mainly cause i really love the ps5 controler and i kinda want to be able to replay them with it#ill have to look up reviews to see if its worth it#ok im rambling too much#if youve made it this far an have any ps5 game recs i would appreciate it!#im a low effort player lol so i like to have easy/super easy modes#no racing or shooting (unless its an uncharted style game)#i just have awful coordination and cant aim or drive for shit lol#also no scary stuff like last of us#i dont care how good the story is i cannot look at something thag dark for that long#(i also adored Stray but fuck if that sewer level didnt almost kill me)

While I believe that anybody can change their opinion, it's so funny watching music reviewers suddenly switch up on AJR because of The Maybe Man. "This is good?!" "They made a good one?!" Man shut up, you just don't wanna get called out for making fun of an album about three guys dying dad.
#ajr brothers#ajr#LIKE. ASJSGKSHSL#maybe some reviewers genuinely do think the maybe man is 'better' then previous albums#but it's so funny watching them start to make fun of the album itself or specifically god is really real because they're listening to it al#and then backpedal because they realize it's about their father dying from illness or because their chat is telling them that#then all of a sudden it's like '🥺 oh noooo this one is good though i like this one' MAN SHUT UP AFHSBSKBSKSHSK

Yuca reads 'The Rumic Theatre!!': Those Selfish Aliens
First up, Those Selfish Aliens (Kattena Yatsura)!! Oh my god, I love this one. Like, I love all of the Rumic World One-Shots but I have a special soft spot for this one because it really shows Rumiko's skill and potential. This work was judged by a couple of mangaka since it was an entry to Shonen Sunday's "newcomer contest", in quotes because I forgot the actual name of the contest and I'm too lazy to google it but it's basically what it says, and the judges comments were more or less like "art could improve a lot but it is a very fun and creative story". And yeah, they're right. The artstyle is cute and nostalgic but some drawings, expressions and stuff feel a bit weak. I've noticed this in early UY too btw, there's this one panel where Lum is sitting on branch in a tree and the size difference and proportion between Lum and the tree felt really off. Of course, these are all things Rumiko improves at while making UY, Her drawings and expressions looks a lot more alive and wonderful since then, her size and proportion game is incredible and her artstyle is literally iconic and it's really satisfying to see how much someone like Rumiko has improved and it's really inspirational too. The story also showed off Rumiko's potential perfectly when it comes to storytelling, it's so wonderfully wacky and creative, a literal example of thinking outside the box. Like, the whole concept of 'a newspaper delivery guy gets abducted by aliens and then fishmen and then humans, who all place bombs inside of him, while he wants to deliver the goddamned papers and also meets this cute, awesome girl who was the fishmen's pet, but then the universe is in peril because of the bomb planters stupidity and selfishness (thus the title) and they form a truce and make sure the guy delivers his papers as safely as possible while the guy doesn't know that he's a literal fucking explosive and the girl hangs out with him even though she knows' is absolutely insane, like oh my god (I had so much fun typing everything in the single quoted section lol). It's so entertaining and it shows that Rumiko Takahashi has a bunch of great ideas with this being one of them. It's charming, funny, the characters are likeable and it just such a fun and cozy read. Also, I hear many say that this is the blueprint to Urusei Yatsura but asides from the Sci-fi themes, dappyamen, the title, Akane's flirtatious behavior being a bit similar to Lum's; it's not really all that similar to UY lol. Anyways, Kei is a funny protagonist and the gag of him being dedicated to his newspaper deliveries is so damn funny (on a related note: He's dedicated to his job, and he respects women, 10/10 man) and Akane (Rumiko's first ever Akane) is a lovable, strong and supportive female lead.
They are both also really cute together btw, made for each other.
Anyway, really enjoyed this one: 8/10.
#decided not to liveblog since my thoughts are kinda lame for it#instead have a short review sort of post#maybe ill post these weekly or whenever really#yucareads#those selfish aliens#kattena yatsura#rumiko takahashi#rumic world#rumic theatre#kei#akane#dappyamen#god i love them sm
