i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

gen loss dump part 2 :]
i have a gen loss playlist so the last two was me hitting randomize and drawing a pic based on the song before it finished. the second one technically isn’t that cause charlie’s inferno isn’t on apple music cause they hate me so it’s way more of the song out of spite because they wouldn’t give it to me.
#spotify is prolly better (definitely is for finding playlists i use spotify to find playlists still and then add those songs to my own lmao#but dad pays for a family apple music subscription and free music streaming is infinitely better then paying for my own spotify#also my wound reference i feel like i let him off easy from the seven foot tall wire security monster#but idk this was drawn a year ago idk what i was doing#like i agree w the vest just being REALLLL bad bruising and internal stuff but i feel like he had wayyyy more open area besides that to get#fucked up besides just his arms#but i guess since the wire monster also got turned off by the button since it didn’t immediately go at ranboo next then maybe that’s still#reasonable idk#generation loss#generation loss fanart#ranboo fanart#continuing my not spamming tags trend so even though i bc puls have tagged all three of them im not gonna#still posting this primarily for me and for everyone else second#OH THE OUTFITS ARE FROM MY PIN BOARDS#I MAKE OUTFIT BOARDS FOR EVERYTHING ITS SO FUN#LIKE EVERY FANDOM IVE POSTED HERE HAS ONE#ITS BAD#and then irl i wear sweats and t shirt lmao#i found mouse trap game board earrings#i spend too much time on those finding highly specific bullshit#the jrwi one is especially cringe cause i have a different section for all of the what ifs#and that shit lasted one (1) episode#also the full color drawing i’m so >:| about it#i need to practice coloring sooooo badly but i always get frustrated w it#i need to slow tf down idk#but thats also from nearly a year ago so

I keep on watching the Dropout show shorts they post on YouTube like it's my only way of experiencing their content, and COMPLETELY forgetting that I'm actively paying for their streaming service and I can just watch the full episodes instead.
#once again heres your sign to get Dropout#bc i feel like that definitely says something good about them#whether it be how effective their marketing is or how interesting their shows are#posts fully endorsed by cobweb#dropout#dropout.tv#make some noise#um actually#game changer#dimension 20#dirty laundry#also i highly recommend hank greens comedy special and brennan lee mulligan and izzy rolands improv special#i crave more independent long form content sam reich#i love episodic stuff but i feel like ive got to pay more attention to it bc of the more visual aspect of it#i need more stuff that i can listen to in the background while im mowing and cleaning and shit

i think about the whole "love that" exchange a lot.
#i think i already have a post about this somewhere im just. rotating it#they realize they just kinda revealed a bit too much in front of Trent Crimm (Formerly) The Independent#and he does the whole biting wind-up to a question you know is going to be sharp as hell. bringing in that heat#and rebecca just. doesn't even try to get out of it#is she taking a leap of faith? is she just tired of spinning a whole yarn? testing him? giving him a chance?#and his response is just. simple. a real smile--almost conspiratorial and they're both in on the joke--and 'love that.'#sincere and almost warm. love that. bc that's what he actually thinks. not asking what he thinks he should#what he thinks the crowd wants to hear. but just. god her ex husband is a dickhead. absolutely you should try to fuck him over. love that#and rebecca all but beaming at him in response#i wish we'd gotten more of their dynamic tbh. i think that interaction probably helped soothe any anxieties she had about the whole thing#i think the next time we really see them interact is just the girl talk thing#where she's gleefully including him on the gossip and he's SO fucking pleased to get a good grade in girl talk something both normal to w#but like them developing an almost easy banter Fast. please. and like. him letting himself be. himself. in front of other people#not just ted. and rebecca GETS that if anyone gets getting flayed by the lasso effect it's her#so like. IDK MAN I JUST THINK THEY SHOULD BOND#also keeley. DEFINITELY keeley. all three of them. FUCK#trent crimm#rebecca welton#gertspeak#god. him being so pleased about the girl talk comment too. lives in my brain rent free#rebecca or keeley pays him a genuine but offhand compliment and he (and clearly completely unconsciously) just#fully does a pleased little wiggle in his seat. and they're like hmmmm

Please excuse the lighting and the messy bg (I'm in the process of moving in), but I got catcalled by a group of 8 dudes at a gas station today (I ignored them but they called me 'catgirl' bc my hat has cat ears. I think it was regular sexism and not transphobia), and when I went to a Ruby Tuesdays to have dinner with my mom, I was told that a couple of the waitresses were checking me out (and one apparently flirted with me which I didn't realize until later!).
So, yeah, I figured I'd post a pic bc I must've chose a great outfit today
#i think i had the skirt too low on my waist in the pic.... its fine but eh#definitely look rougher than earlier today bc of a long drive#zer0pal's pen#my face#my pics#they were like high school boys that were having trouble paying for gas between the two cars they were riding in. like not worth responding#plus i was on the phone. too busy for that#but i heard like 'hey catgirl! hey *meow!* hey#'hey what race are you? *meow!*' and like i think they meant breed but like wtf yknow#then ig my partner flipped em off and they started meowing and barking and like. we're in a gas station parking lot?? like in public?#the waitresses were cute but i literally cannot tell when im being flirted with when it comes to women#like idk if its bc im demisexual or bc im trans (and in customer service) so i usually like to compliment people in a way that helps me pass#but like apparently I'm just blind to flirting until after the fact#oh well#trans woman#need to practice my posing again

Drew some background/minor characters to purge the brainworms. Unclear if it worked or not.
#kee draws#oc#oc art#furry art#hmmm am I going to tag them all#ig? maybe i'll draw them again. i'm sure I will Boo and Liala at least#ok so:#Beckett#Jules#Moe#Boo#Bylur#Aine#Liala#beckett jules and moe are an adventuring party#slapped them together real quick for a little fic im writing#they uh. are definitely totally fine in it. probably.#(me when I lie)#Boo is from the same fic but he does better.#my silly little necomancer street urchin#that's not a typo just a pun#OH yes the 'old world' note by Moe refers to the type of birdfolk he is#Bylur and Aine are married. Aine runs Beinhilmir's only inn. Bylur is a smith (but it helps her out when they have time)#i fully confess I didn't draw their left arm simply bc I Didn't Want To#and Liala has been living in my brain for 10000 years#she's a cleric of the moon goddess [oh i should draw her huh. ill put it on the list]#she's a beinkin that refused to pay the blood price to retain her humanity. so she's forever a beast now#she seeks out the goddess to try and cure her curse#she can't cure her outright but she does her best to help Liala retain her humanity in mind if not body#they're both kinda fruity about it

please credit artists if you're using their drawings as pfp/headers it's really not that hard. some of the artists are against using their art that way, btw, but i know people never ask about this before doing stuff. so if you're using someone's art rn - credit the artist at least. and if u think that the credit will look "ugly" in ur bio/pinned - u shouldn't use it at all
#barghest barks#that's about me and about other artists too bc i see it way to often and it's upsetting#+ some artists actually do “icon commissions” and people pay for it. im just saying#im ok with people using my art as pfp/header btw but only with credit. it's not that hard especially if u literally follow me there.#so u definitely know who i am#there's no way “i found it on pinterest ueeue” would work.#also u can find the source of pictures using google it's not that hard either

you should draw archimedes
this is the most effort anyone's put into drawing archimedes since 2008. but i shoulder this burden (added knuckles <3)
#art✨#archie sonic#archimedes the ant#archimedes the fire ant#knuckles the echidna#i am going to assume thats the tag bc i am convinced theres like three total fanarts of him on the internet and im torn to say whether that#s deserved or not. i mean knux has definitely had *worse* mentors#my inability to not overrender returns. i really gotta get better at stopping but oh wel#the other request has me VERY excited i have a very cool idea heres hoping it pays off

Finally watching Phantom Of The Paradise now that it’s available; these Faust parallels are heavy.
Edit: Damn, he signs his contracts in fucking blood too.
Edit: “I’m not doing it in drag.” — You kind of already are, my dear, but go off I guess.
Edit: Beef was actually pretty cool until he copped a feel of one of the dancers. His death and Winslow’s responding evil laughter were a delight tho.
Edit: Dorian Gray!?!!????
—
Final Thoughts: I’m going to watch it one more time to really sit with it, but I enjoyed it. I can appreciate it’s weirdness and the characterizations now that I’ve watched it for myself, but I still can’t say it’s one of my favorite POTO adaptations.
I admire it going for something different though.
#I’m only 39 minutes in but my opinions are mostly positive actually#I have a goal to watch and read every phantom adaptation so this has been on my list for a while#I definitely had it as low priority both because I’d have to actively pay for it and bcs it didn’t seem particularly faithful to the og POT#O#now that im watching it though I don’t think my initial thoughts were entirely fair#it’s different yes but the changes are interesting enough and the music does sounds good and I actually love the callbacks to the og#phantom of the paradise#phantom of the opera#i speak bitches

I can take them making the Crosby/Landra thing explicit (even when keeping it vague would have been very doable and truer to his own memoir) but him pushing her about what she actually was doing was annoying. The call we'll see next week is fine, but whining about it in a pub instead of just being like "haha pretty sure my badass former-roomate is a spy, crazy times we live in, ammirite?" rubbed me the wrong way.
#idk it hit me less as concerned friend/fwb and more 'as a man attached to you i need to know what you're doing so tell me'#which isn't the vibe from the real dude or the character so far#Croz a we know & love him would be like 'you'd tell me but you'd have to kill me? of course ma'am. btw thank you for paying attention to me#like im not happy about them making the relationship explicitly romantic or explicitly physical#I think he still considered it cheating in his own mind no matter what the circumstances#BUT that should objectively be the thing that irks me most#& it wasn't bc i was too busy being mad about the way they made him kinda demand her whereabouts#maybe that was just me but it had me riled up the entire episode#honestly woried it'll make nxt wk's phonecall feel less “whoops so shes definitely unable to meet me for lunch ?” and more “WHERES MY WOMAN#masters of the air#spoilers#harry crosby#shit i put the wrong name in the post#fuck it im not changing it now#they can pry 'Landra' out of my cold dead hands i guess#hbo war#MotA: Ep 7#MotA#sandra westgate#whoever the fuck that is (obligatory snarky tag)

there is always some clown that shows their ass about wyll on youtube. like no one wants your bad opinion on a positive video about wyll. no one wants your regurgitated bile that you yucked down from some other clown who has also never played his route or had him in their party or really spoken to him in camp, but wants to say The Reasoning Why Has Nothing To Do With His Blackness, I Just Don't Like Goody-Too-Shoes CharactersTM.
get out of here and misinterpret YOUR faves, not mine.
#grapecase rants#fandom sucks#grapecase plays bg3#i was so pleasantly surprised to see a positive wyll video#and i needed to see him beiing cute before i rest after a long day and just bc do i really need an excuse to wyll?#and these people show they cant read/listen#wyll has no sense of humor. wyll is boring. wyll is flat. wyll is too serious. wyll is everything that shows that i never spent the time to#pay attention to him#and im probably [definitely] am a racist#idc to me anyone who dislikes wyll but cannot give actual critical reasons is a racist#especially when you are pulling shit that isn't even REAL or TRUE TO HIS ACTUAL CHARACTER#yall got teen wolf-itis aka when that ridiculous fandom could no longer see or hear or understand anything scott mccall did#RACISM#/end rant#im over tired#and over annoyed#been biting back#tho my first thought on this days ago was wittier#/ragrats#idky they dont go and give a bad astarion or gortash or whomever take in their own vids
