To celebrate 10 years in this god forsaken fandom, I redrew the og art of my fave paranormal investigators !

Singles and small rant below cut :P

Cannot believe it’s been a damn decade. This fandom and these characters have done so much to shape me and help me turn into the person- and artist!!- I am today, and I am forever grateful for the friends I’ve made along the way. (You know who you are 😉)

I cannot believe young Gooze looked at Johnny Ghost and said Yeah, that’s my entire personality now, and then it WAS. Now I’m an inducted thespian with a love for dramatizing everything, and for doing stupid voices, and a buncha other stuff. I even took his name, Johnny/Ghost. Which I suppose a lot of us have, huh?

Anyway if you’re looking down here, hi, here’s the first ever piece of fanart young Gooze did (that I can find)

(Yes, that’s Ghost and Jimmy. And yeah it’s bad, but I was a very young child. Let’s appreciate how far I’ve come, yeah?)

i talked alot about juwons guilt but i dont think i properly took the time to indulge in dongsiks guilt (mainly because. look at him. where do you even start) yuyeon going missing + her fingers appearing on their yard is such a pivotal moment for his entire character and his motivations towards the world. like yeah he's angry he's disheartened he's helpless but most of all he's guilty. in a way none of those police thought he was. he's guilty because he didnt look after her better. he's got survivor's guilt on top of that because none of his family members went through that ordeal without either dying or being bedridden, meanwhile he's still walking on two feet and he's still the one people point at and cast aside and still the one cleaning up the house and dusting the windows and visiting his mother and bringing her fruits and trying so, so hard to compensate for what he couldn't manage to do; protect his sister. he becomes caring. thoughtful. loving. he becomes the most sympathetic character among all of them. he cared about every single person in that town despite their wariness towards him. he cared about jihwa and jihoon and jeongje and literally everyone else in that circle in a way he thought he should've been when yuyeon was still around. and still that would never bring her back. which is why on top of all that care and love is the madness and the slight dip into insanity because what's the fucking point. but at the same time it's i cant handle another person ending up like yuyeon. which is why minjeong dying was so fucking heartbreaking because he tried so so goddamn hard to protect these people out of the guilt that he didnt protect his sister enough and STILL he failed at it. (in his own perspective of course) its why he takes the ENTIRE responsibility of handling the truth by himself because he thinks it's HIS fault that it's happening all over again and this endless cycle of beating himself up and trying to amend things by himself and ruining himself in the process starts begins once more until. until juwon arrives with a guilt as big as his, a guilt that mirrors his own and that endless cycle slowly starts to shatter and both of them began to unknowingly try to find redemption through each other and its why that last scene is so fucking important too because dongsik getting handcuffed is like closing the door on the abuse that the guilt has done to him and twisting the key and throwing it away and he needed juwon to do that for him, because no one would understand the guilt better than juwon. there was never gonna be another person to arrest him because even though he's resolving his own guilt he's also taking juwons guilt upon himself and telling juwon look, here, cuff it away, youre good now, you dont have to suffer anymore. even though his future seems so bleak with the arrest he still tries so hard to do what he failed to do with yuyeon. protect her. at least this time he could protect juwon before the man could live with the guilt forever. at least this time when he meets juwon again he knows he succeeded.

Saw the fucking hazbin episode 4 leak. Who's fucking idea was this.

Rant below. TW for discussion of S/A and its effects.

I never really had an issue with how Angel dust was portrayed. I thought it was apparently common knowledge that sexual trauma can lead to hypersexuality, which is kind of one of his main character flaws (being overly sexual to the point of being creepy and uncomfortable, not being sexual in and of itself). Hell, Addict showed it happening straight up, both in present and in flashback, and I think it did great in showing his distress and the actions themselves.

But I really don't think we need to have such an explicit scene of a character being assaulted to get the point. I think the "FLASHback" approach used in the post credits scene for addict really portrayed the feeling without being too explicit or extreme. It shows it happening, shows the extent of the characters suffering, shows the effects, but doesn't prolong or exploit it.

I fully support making that sort of art on your own and not sharing it with anyone. It's really important to remember that certain kinds of art can easily end up in the hands of people who enjoy it for the wrong reasons. I've drawn that shit. It's fine to cope. But if someone who wants to assault people gets their hands on it, then it's an issue.

I'm just gonna leave a couple ideas down here of how I think this can be done right. Please be aware that I'm not an expert in writing and this is simply my opinion.

The FLASHback I mentioned earlier. Show it flash on screen so you can tell what's going on and portray the emotion without prolonging it. Even repeated flashes can work just to show how badly it's affecting the character. However, this can make scenes inaccessible to photosensitive viewers.

Show the beginning of the event but cut out once it gets explicit, or skip to the aftermath at that moment. This way it can be longer and show what's going on, but, again, doesn't prolong it or exploit that sort of distress.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST DONT SHOW IT EXPLICITLY IN ITS ENTIRETY! All you have to do is not have uncensored rape and abuse available to see for everyone! There's no downside! I generally don't believe in censorship, but I do for this type of shit. I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but I feel like they should probably be fired.

Anyway I literally just wrote this because I was panicking after seeing that. Somehow it worked and I'm all good now. Enjoy the results of my frantic typing.

I feel like yesterday I had a conversation worthy of a Tumblr shitpost and I can't get it out of my mind. But I really wish I could, get it out of my mind. It was harmless, it was amongst friends, but it was so fucking cursed that even if the words used were indeed in the bible they should edit them out because they don't belong there anymore. They have been tainted forever.

caught in between being desperate to have time to write fic and also doing my best to navigate adult responsibilities which this week alone look like: an assignment due, a lawyer meeting (everything is fine I just had some questions about stuff), an interview, and my bestie about to go into labor at quite literally any second and I have to be Available

[tyrannosaurus-trainwreck]

I appreciate that John Wick 1 was like, oh, an action film, hmm. Okay. Then for every film after that, they were like "Well, we just need a vague plot and we'll let the actors madlib some yeahs and some huhs and we don't really need a screenwriter for that, right? So all that extra money can go to hiring a human-sized swarm of moths to be the DP?" And they did.
