I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about Michael, myself included, but he and Walt should’ve been in the finale. I think the showrunner’s excuse that no one would’ve recognized Walt and it didn’t make sense for a grown up version of him to be there makes sense in a way but is also kinda silly. The flash sideways is about wish fulfillment, it’s about these characters getting a life they didn’t get to have when they were on the island and then finding each other regardless of the circumstances. And for Michael and Walt, it actually makes perfect sense for an older version of Walt to be there because Michael never got to see his son grow up and be the dad he had the potential to be and Walt never had his dad there when he was growing up. So much else changed about Flight 815 and the passenger’s lives in that flash sideways, so why not have an older Walt with the dad they both always wanted Michael to be?

@hajimedics revealing my #anonymous self to show how ur post inspired me 🫡

ok I guess I will explain what the symbolism in this drawing means under this cut now :)

BASICALLY Rave’s tags on his art got me thinking about mutual sentience theory & the idea that who these puppets actually are does not align with what playfellow workshop created them to be — specifically, the actual desires of the puppets in whps are not the same as what playfellow thinks they should desire — and it made me think about how it might apply to Frank & Julie.

We know that neither of them fall into (strictly) binary gender labels, we know that Frank is gay, we know that Julie was confirmed sapphic in a stream — and yet we see playfellow putting them into the roles of cisgender heterosexual man & woman respectively, that they cast them to be in the roles of each others romantic love interests (see julie-rella animation cels). So I wanted to draw something based on that concept, the contrast of who they are vs who they’re “supposed” to be.

This is why I included 2 Franks and 2 Julies here, one set in my usual style for drawing them and the other being more ‘on-model’ — the former are a representation of who the puppets actually are, with their agency, while the latter are who playfellow themselves outline the puppets to be. The playfellow puppets are a ‘perfect’ version of sorts, their canonical accuracy + their sparkling appearance being extensions of how true to the script they are.

The framing of these two sets, how they interact with each other within the image, is meant to show the situational helplessness Julie and Frank share. They are stuck together in a ring of lavender flowers (do you get it. wedding rings. lavender marriage. I’m a master of artistic metaphor /j), looking to one another in worry as they’re surrounded by playfellow’s expectations. Neither of them want this, for themselves nor for each other, but what are they meant to do? They aren’t trapped by something they can just escape from, they’re trapped by their own identities; the will of their creators and the will of themselves are intrinsically linked, each at their core are answers to the question of who “Julie Joyful” and “Frank Frankly” are, to try and sever that connection is an impossible task.

The circles above each of the on-model puppets’ heads are primarily meant to be halos bc well. you know how queer religious trauma goes (there’s a ‘playfellow workshop is a stand-in for american christianity and possibly god’ metaphor in there somewhere) BUT they are also supposed to represent wedding rings too, to show yet again how playfellow likely wants them to be a couple — and not in the “a couple of bestiesss(๑>◡0)~☆” way they’d like to be

I think that’s all????? not really much else I can say here. background is black + slightly red for that whrp undersite feel and the on-model puppets are drawn in white to contrast with the primarily black background but also because they’re technically Julie & Frank’s straightsonas & black+white=straight pride flag. ok bye

People jumping ship cause of the new masks is very ahhhh. Telling. Tbh.

All i really seem to draw nowadays is anatomy practice… i feel like i’ve lost my way with art. I want to tell stories, that’s the whole reason i’m doing this! i don’t just want to make shit that looks nice! but i don’t know how to put myself in a headspace where i care enough about things that were important to me before Or the way they made me feel

just remembered this fandom award thing we had a few years ago and how a willex fic won best juke fic. 🫢🫠

[the-meme-monarch]

christmas has always kinda made me feel awkward and bad for different reasons but now it’s just “the day before my cat died”. the entire month of december is just “remember when your cat died?” “hey it’s your sibling’s birthday :]” “remember when your cat died?.” “merry christmas. tomorrow is the anniversary of when your cat died.” “good morning it’s the anniversary of when your cat died.”

New Threadfic Announcement + Sugar Baby AU Threadfic Update Status

(TNotG’s prologue can be read here)

The one addition I forgot to mention, I probably may or may not drag the Truce universe’s Supe!Butcher & Homelander into the threadfic’s multiverse shenanigans, because why not? It adds a bit of extra danger & incentivizes TNotG Billy to want all of his parallel universe selves to gtfo back to their worlds.

If you want more context details about the threadfics, you can read about them here that I organized for easy reference.

Tl;dr let’s cross our fingers that Twt doesn’t shadowban me because this’ll be a lotta tweets that’ll be tweeted within a span of a few days (I’ll of course screenshot them and crosspost those tweets over here on tumblr for y’all). I’m hoping they do not mistake my account as a spambot when these updates come out 😬

And regarding the next update for Operation Babylon (the Sugar Baby AU) which’ll be posted first:

The media trend to turn everyone into hairless androids really irritates me.

One of the things I actually love about 1970s films is the sex scenes. While there are absolutely some problematic patriarchal standards going on - I don’t think I’ve seen one featuring an actual fat or elderly woman or femme yet - there is something very real in them? People have body hair. People have flab - yes, even women. People have tan lines and stomachs and body hair and wrinkles. And there’s actual giggling and pumping and boobs that fly around and flatten out when their owner is horizontal because they’re unmodified.

If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend Don’t Look Now because it features a *married* sex scene. Sex between two people who have been married for at least a decade and had and lost a child. It’s not a big crescendo plot point in their relationship. It’s just two folk who love and know each other in the both complex and simple way you do when you’ve been together for a significant part of your lives, who still want to fuck each other on holiday.

And they’re both *very* attractive people (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, who are, in my opinion, both smokin’) but they’re also pale with skin tone variation across their bodies and have body hair and actual stomachs and butts that aren’t all pumped abs and glutes.

It’s such a wonderful scene that reflects very real human emotional and physical experience in a way most films, especially the majority of 21st century films, never do.
