DAISY JONES & THE SIX 2023

I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story.

I like this screenshot of Jeb so much that I pondered about his possible future as a mechanic.

And since Jack loves cars too (besides spaceships ;) why not let them open a garage together? 🚗🚘🚙🚐 👨🏽‍🔧👨🏽‍🔧 Somewhere in the future ^^'

Jack in Strangerville during the 'Sabotage' chapter.

Jack at Summer Solstice, when he stole Ms Coombes truck to save Ji Ho's life with 'Welcome to the Jungle'

Jack in his special from the 70's Party

And in his room at Belgraves Institute, where he barely had anything on his wall than photos of Kiyoshi - and a car ^^'

And adult Jack's son Logan. His kidnapper got in a fight with some random NPC and he only had eyes for the car! Like father - like son ^^'

They could use Guilia's Garage. Only - Saiwa would have to drive the cars in and out of the garage. Neither Jeb nor Jack has a drivers license - yet. Haha I remember Sims 3 days when you could teach your kids driving! Imagine Saiwa teaching Jack how to drive! Two get into the car - but only one gets out ö.Ö'

One of my favorite things about the Irish National Museum is how so many of their non-Irish collections were donated by wealthy Irish Americans. But they have this absolutely incredibly Italian 16th-century wedding chest that I can only imagine Romano giving her when he makes another trip to America while she’s living with Alfred, and she took home with her. Just how many pieces of wealth she was stripped of by the British Empire, and here is this absolutely exquisite piece of Italian history in the national museum he gifted her in my stupid history AU lmao.

Another thing I think she kept is a little coin-like token that were very common gifts from convicts about to be transported to lovers and mothers. This one is to a mother from her son who was transported in the 19th century but there were also a lot of them that were commissioned in Australia and sent back for anniversaries. Jack might not even remember when he asked Matt and Alasdair to make something similar and give it too her.

So one of my favorite headcanons is that oftentimes nations had buried their objects in 'hoards' when people in history were trying to save their wealth, they buried it. I like to think that sometimes they accidentally come across their old things again.

My favorite incident of this would be the 'Backworth Hoard' that was found in real life in the very early 19th century, right around 1810 or so, but it was long before decent archaeology, so people added onto the handles of the spoons and the pot because Jesus Fuck my beef with the Victorians never ends. My favorite thing, however, are two bracelets and a necklace with these spoked wheel pendants. In all likelihood, they were probably a sun symbol in their original context, but they look a lot like ship wheels, no?

Another 19th-century find we don’t know much about in the original context is a collection of Roman Era amber beads found around Colchester dated to around the 1st century. They, in all likelihood, were very expensive imports from the Baltic of Northern Europe. Still, they remind me of the teething beads my brother had as a baby (don’t give them to children. They’re probably dangerous, it was the 2000s no one knew shit back then I s2g). Still, I had a mental image of Boudicca racing to claim Arthur with Erian’s (Mama Brittania’s) blessing during the Bouddicean revolt. Someone grabbed him so hard, and abruptly the cord of beads around his neck snapped and was flung to the ground only to be discovered 1,800 years later when he’s having the last of his children. History echoes.

Thinking about the Azula scenes, and...oddly, despite my complaints earlier...I think they could have used more dialogue. Not exposition dialogue, but EMOTIONAL dialogue. Azula venting to Ty Lee, Ty Lee responding.

Kinda like the episode where she had the bow and arrow.

But a little more back and forth.

Problem is that this requires writers who can write gripping dialogue AND have faith in the actors and actresses to deliver said dialogue under the guide of a strong director. Which is...a risk with young staff who haven't had a lot of experience.

Hopefully we get more in Book 2.

Donny is gonny

Listen, pun headlines are difficult.

Picture courtesy of Fabrizio Romano on Twitter. Manchester United midfielder Donny Van de Beek has reportedly completed a loan move to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

The deal will see the Dutch attacking midfielder move on loan for six months, with the Germans given an optional €15m price tag to meet - plus addons, presumably performance related.

Van de Beek's last loan move to Everton started brightly but faded harshly following injury, and perhaps escaping the Premier League is the best thing for him. Frankfurt are in solid form in the German Bundesliga too, sat in seventh.

His arrival to United was strange given it was so sudden. VDB's form at Ajax was solid, but he was heavily expected to move to Real Madrid. In contrast, United were seemingly all set on then-Aston Villa star Jack Grealish. How different the world could have Van de Been...

We wish Donny all the best with his move and hopefully it can restart his career that has, like many in this current United banter era, stalled.

Watched '89 Batman just so I could read the original script and get mad at the changes. Spoilers, but also this won't make a lot of sense if you haven't already seen the movie

Starting off strong with the descriptions. I'm sure cranking up Jack's age some 20 years wouldn't make much of a difference to the plot...

I was going to say that the casting director is no Andrea Romano, but considering his name drops before Keaton's, I'm sure Nicholson was chosen through a more particular process. I wonder though, was that choice alone responsible for the "Joker kills Bruce's parents" idea? (side note, did Joker 2019 come up with *anything* new at all??) Or was it something that came up after they decided to erase Dick Grayson from the film to replace the original conflict?

Oh yeah, the Flying Grayson's episode happens in the original script. But let's look at Ace Chemicals first — which is not the name they used in the movie, just to piss me off

They cut out a whole section of the gang breaking into the plant. It's not a bad choice, I just liked the date makeup observation. Now to the meet cute--

Paralyzing talons? Are you kidding me, they got rid of that?? Oh, silly me, of course they did — that would get in the way of Batman's classic blowing-up-thugs rule.

Bruce didn't throw Jack off the platform here, but interestingly enough we still see him feeling guilty when he finds out that he inadvertently created Joker

And yes, this is almost the exact same moment that Tom King wrote in Batman/Catwoman. Gotta love the trope of Bruce bringing up his guilt over creating his arch-nemesis in the middle of an intimate moment with a beautiful woman on his bed. Now some random things they changed that stood out to me:

Every single time Joker acts blatantly childishly or is described as being on the verge of a tantrum is so funny. Sad that we could've had this instead of him thirsting over Vicky Vale.

This is the during the attack of the mimes on the city hall. I assume they decided to cut it out because that sort of ptsd goes a little against installing machine guns on the batmobile and striking down your enemies with military grade missiles.

They didn't pull a Joe Chill/Joker switcheroo here, Vale's guilt just dreamed of this scenario. The script goes a little deeper in expanding her relationship with Bruce. She figured out he's Batman on her own — saving up Alfred's skin — but unfortunately so does her colleague. As a self-designated nice guy, Knox tries to get Batman to break things off with Vicky. He's also waiting for the news of Joker's attacks to quiet down before exposing Batman's identity, but don't worry, the scripts solves this beautifully later on.

Anyways, instead of the confrontation at the apartment of Vicky Vale (also known as Bruce's "let's get nuts" moment and the devil in the moonlight quote) we have a chase scene that leads to Dick's introduction. Before that though comes probably the second scene I most wish they had kept in the movie

Yes, Batman chases Joker on a horse, first wearing a tuxedo, then his whole gear. Do you see what they took from us? What could've been?

Joker kills the Graysons with pretty explosions, Dick jumps onto Joker's van and tries to kill him but alas is detained by Batman and batnapped.

Batman then asks Alfred to take care of Dick and the last act is set in motion. Pushed by anger and guilt, Batman blows up Ace Chemicals (tho here we're supposed to believe the thugs managed to run out before the place crumbled) but Joker escapes and goes to set the balloon parade in motion.

Before he can blow away the public, Knox and Vicky create the bat signal to alert Batman about the balloons and Joker's plans are thwarted. Unfortunately (cough) this costs Knox his life. But hey, at least Batman's identity is safe.

Big explosions ensue, the batwing goes down and Bruce is almost left dead in the debris. Dick Grayson, now dawning his makeshift Robin suit, saves him and runs to enact his revenge on Joker.

They enter the cathedral, Joker and Dick exchange some bullets and Batman eventually catches up with Dick, knocking him out again. Then Batman manages to crawl up the stairs through inhuman effort against his fatal injuries, passes out just before reaching the final floor and uh... I'll just post this next part in full

He's made a friend... Attempted murder-suicide... Joker's taken out by a horde of Bats... This would probably have replaced Fight Club in my list of favorite movie endings if it ever came into existence.

Before I close up on our villain and hero's demises, I do have something to point out that I think was improved in the final script. Joker's Smylex — basically Joker Gas, originally meant to be called Smylenol — got added to beauty products and caused some people to die in the movie. I say some, because while we see 13 deaths reported there, here it's something that comes closer to the class of hundreds. He doesn't even invent it, originally; he just steals the formula from an old CIA project. Because the fatal product doesn't happen only when certain products are mixed together, a whole lot more end up becoming victims and Batman can't do much about it except cut out the source. It's just a detail, but I liked that they thought of an alternative. I may not like the Joker mob boss origin, but at least they let him keep his chemical prowess.

Now to the ending. Batman had a last minute bout of clarity and threw the bomb away, tangling it in the helicopter's ladder

Something something Batman offering Joker a last comfort before death... Endgame and Arkham City and...

Okay, that's pretty much what I've got. Am I mad we didn't get to have this? Kinda. But also, I didn't have big expectations for what actually came out, and it's still a pretty funny film. Besides, I think when it comes to Batman and mainly Joker, sticking to the comics, games and animations is the best way to go. Best to keep the incels focused on the live adaptations anyhow

Happy birthday, Donald Duck! - 90th birthday of Donald Duck - Donald Duck through his periods and ages - Classic shorts, The Three Caballeros, Duck comics, Duck Avenger, Double Duck, Maui Mallard, Ducktales, Kingdom Hearts and Quack Pack - Duckverse - Duckverse in June - Week 1 - My version

Finally, that time has come, when the birthday of the best duck, Donald Duck, is celebrated. Yes, he's celebrating his 90th birthday this year and since he deserves all the special attention, I've drawn a set of all the versions of Donald Duck from his first appearance to today. By the way, found inspiration from this short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42DBCwvlxtg

I certainly found inspiration in my drawing and related to the versions of Donald's nephews, which you can see here: https://ducktoonsfanart.tumblr.com/post/699647636818509824/huey-dewey-and-louie-duck-triplets-mania-85th https://ducktoonsfanart.tumblr.com/post/714708689115906048/happy-birthday-huey-dewey-and-louie-duck-plus

On June 9, 1934, Donald Duck made his first appearance in a classic short called "The Wise Little Hen" by Silly Symphony and invented by Walt Disney to be reimagined and modernized by Carl Barks, Al Taliaferro, Jack King and Jack Hannah and other authors. In the beginning, a duck with a long beak and excellent trolling, but then he became a grumpy and jerk duck, and later a very family and friendly duck. Yes, Donald Duck describes each and every one of us here, because we all share similar personalities to Donald Duck. Donald Duck has appeared in many cartoons, comics, video games, at Disney parks, in books, as toys, and in many other various ways. Since there are so many versions, I decided to just draw my favorite and most important ones that shaped Donald as we know him today.

Yes, Donald Duck from Mickey Mouse Cartoons by Paul Rudish is holding a piece of cake, along with the first version of Donald Duck from "The Wise Little Hen" which is actually the first version of him. And there is the first prototype of the character Donald Duck (from 1931, appeared in the book "he Adventures of Mickey Mouse"), a baby Donald Duck with a red balloon (if anyone has seen the Quack Pack episode "Can't Take a Yolk" knows what it's about), there's also Donald Duck as a little boy (from Topolino and European comics like Paperino Paperetto), Donald Duck from the classic shorts, caballero Donald with a sombrero from Don Donald and The Three Caballeros, soldier Donald Duck (WW2 propaganda cartoons movies), Sailor Donald Duck (from OG Ducktales), Donald Duck from comics (Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Romano Scarpa, Carpi, Vicar, Van Horn, Martina, Cavazzano, Midthun, Marco Rota, Carlos Mota and other authors), Donald from Ducktales 2017, Donald Duck in Hawaiian Shirt from Quack Pack, Donald as Superhero Paperinik (Duck Avenger), Donald as Double Duck (Secret Agent), Donald as Maui Mallard (Ninja), Donald from Fantasia 2000, Donald as Wizard from Kingdom Hearts , Donald as Indiana Jones from Quackshot, Detective Donald Duck from European comics, Musketeer Donald Duck from The Three Caballeros, Super Caballero Donald from The Legend of The Three Caballeros and Donald as the villainous Duck of Doom (from the Quack Pack episode "The Really Mighty Ducks"). There are more, but not all of them would fit in one drawing, and I apologize. Also, Duck Avenger was invented on this day. Duck Avenger was created in 1969 in a comic book by Guido Martina and Giovanni Carpi (correct me about the name of the author) and since then Donald has been an avenger and later he will be a real superhero.

I hope you like this! I wish the best duck a happy 90th birthday! Feel free to like and reblog if you're a Donald Duck fan! Just don't use my same ideas without mentioning me, thanks!

Also this is meant for the Duckverse in June as Week 1, and for @duckversejune2024, @tokuvivor , @secret-tester and @queer-in-a-cornfield. Also this is meant for all of you as my gift especially for those who love Donald Duck the most! Happy birthday Donald Duck!
