feel like psych deserves more credit for manifesting guest stars from almost every single property it referenced. i know plenty of shows have pop culture relevant guest stars but none of them make references that are so very specific and none of them get 99% of their references to actually show up. like psych will throw out a name exclusively for the bit and then an unpredictable number of episodes/seasons later that person will literally show up as murderer/victim/random extended family member of the week with no comment. george takei. william shatner. cybill shepherd from moonlighting. almost every single actor from the breakfast club (one of them recurring!). biff and doc brown from back to the future. dr frankenfurter himself. literally carey elwes. john cena??? john rhys davies. half the cast of twin peaks. the original "come on son" guy. alan ruck. michael rooker. both leads from she's all that. winston from ghostbusters. bud's mom from the cosby show. curt smith from tears for fears (who also sang live with them at an event, like, twice). they mentioned billy zane and val kilmer so many times per season that through sheer willpower they got billy zane and val kilmer to both show up in their series finale. those guys committed to their bits so hard that they ended their show with one of the most diversified and stacked cameo rosters in tv & thats honestly so funny and iconic of them
#its like the opposite of that thing bbc shows do where every guest star is just the same 3 british people u always see#with psych u can literally never guess which bad bitch is gonna walk thru the door next#psych#phil.txt#can u tell im procrastinating finishing the last chapter of the zombie au by writing this post

manifested mileven at the snowball in 2016, so now I’m manifesting byler at senior prom🪻🌻
#updated haircuts!!!#byler#stranger things#byler fanart#mike wheeler#will byers#artovna#the fact that there were times when I LOVED mike/el so much and now I just get sad every time I see them is crazy#no one talk to me about the l bloody smitten comment. sorry I briefly made you British in 2016 dustin#random fun fact: finn wolfhard liked that old artwork on instagram when I first posted it and I hadn’t even tagged him.#I’d tagged him in a few other mike wheeler pieces I’d done and I guess he was snooping 😆#back when the cast weren’t so popular and they were so little 😭#prom byler

#tim drake#red robin#batman#dc comics#dcu#robin#batfamily#batfam#brucequest#ra's al ghul#league of assassins#alvin draper#I JUST THINK NOBODY MAKES A BIG ENOUGH DEAL ABOUT THE FACT THAT TIM IS ONE OF INTERPOL'S MOST WANTED#AS AN INCREDIBLY PROLIFIC INTERNATIONAL ART THIEF#LIKE. COME ON.#i might have to write a fic where it's set up like tim is trying to hide the whole blowing up the league bases thing#but actually he doesnt want his dad to find out he robbed the louvre AND the uffizi#he'd be bragging about robbing the british museum#destiny919#batbrats#original post

i love your riddle design so much, he's so pointy and british. so gracious. do you think he would enjoy a brazilian goiabada
thank you! ❤️🖤❤️ it's just. important to me on a level I can't explain that Riddle have an extremely pointy nose that he can stick into everyone else's business.
also goiabada is sweet and fruity and red, I think he would like it very much indeed!
not me stealth-editing because I forgot his antenna whoops
#art#twisted wonderland#me: riddle's nose is important to me (draws him without a nose)#a study in contrasts?#regardless it is my power as a fanartist to let riddle eat sweets and by god i'm going to use it#i also love british riddle. briddle. it's just RIGHT.#i think about how someday the anime will come out and get dubbed and riddle is going to have Generic Anime Boy Voice#instead of the most over-the-top prim little benedict cumberbatch accent like he does in my HEART#and the world shall be poorer for it. alas.#i also think it would be VERY funny if malleus had a super exaggerated french accent because something something french fairytale#i am probably alone in this however#(sorry still trying to catch up on everything!)#(all of my focus has been going towards Deadlines so hopefully i will have space to think...eventually :')#(i still have some main story things cookin' and i JUST finished tsumsted 3: the squeakquel so uhhh)#(there may be a bit of a flood at some point. you've been warned.)

So when Pristine cut comes out and everyone has time to soak it all in, you’re all going to go ahead and play Scarlet Hollow, right?
#slay the princess#I wish Scarlet Hollow wasn’t so hard to pitch#like Slay the Princess’s whole thing is so alluring#it’s called Slay the Princess for one#a subversion of a trope#and there’s this weird creepy British guy saying to kill her but he isn’t going into detail#Scarlet Hollow is so much harder to talk about#But it’s so good man

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️
#f1#formula 1#formula one#max verstappen#nico rosberg#lewis hamilton#brocedes#like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked#because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave#& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture 😭#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment#his comment re max is just making me laugh#like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot#like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm#truly gods strongest soldiers#ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour#he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible#& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go#theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race#its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it#and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels#additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today#but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful#i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful#ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK#you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki#especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone#this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao#I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here 😭✋️

U wot M8..hello chav-cedes
You can take the boys outta Merc but you can’t take the Brit out the boys. Looking forward to running into them at the newsagents
#lewis hamilton#george russell#britcedes#f1 fanart#Mark’s art tag#if they wanted me not to style George in the womens fit they should have taken pics of him in the men’s#and then I’d use that as reference#drawing the Ferrari logo caused me physical pain#every time I am forced to see Italian things I shall be even more British to compensate#this was fun tho it was like being back in sixth form when I had no fashion sense#and neither did anyone else

So I watched Hazbin Hotel, (or at least the episodes out so far). And I wasn’t that attached to Vox in the pilot because he was only there for two seconds but he’s now my favorite. I can’t help it he’s so pathetic.
Also I love whenever the animators have him make this face:



Why does he look like a cat??? I noticed the soundwave on his hat looks kinda like cat ears and now I can’t unsee it. How am I supposed to take him seriously when he wears that hat and is constantly making a :3 face? /lh
#i liked Sir Pentious too he’s very amusing#Cherri and Velvette having Australian and British accents respectively is my favorite thing ever#the pacing is a little too fast for me I wish they would’ve gotten more episodes to flesh stuff out but oh well#most of the songs are really good and the ‘worst’ one is just kinda mid so no complaints on that front#hazbin hotel#hazbin vox#vox#vox hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel vox

wild opinion i know people will hate me for: i strongly dislike alfred pennyworth. i know what you’re thinking, “how could you hate him! alfred does no wrong!!!”
(loud incorrect buzzer) WRONG. omg, alfred can only do wrong in my mind. he is such a fucking enabler and then he wants to play devils advocate. recently, before starting ‘what the future holds’ i reread robin 1993—specifically tim’s birthday arc.
if you don’t know what that is i’ll tell you. on tim’s sixteenth someone delivers a package which is a holographic message from a future-alfred essentially telling him someone in the batfam is, like, evil, and trusting him to figure it out. eventually it’s revealed that the message was a test, part of bruce’s training, and ‘future’ alfred was actually just current alfred. it was a really good read, i believe it was issues #116-120.
point is, alfred WILLING sided with bruce on that shit. alfred was not held at gun point, his life was not under any threat, he was asked to assist and he. did. that. shit.
and after he had the audacity to be apologetic! ‘i’m so sorry master tim’ like no tf ur not???? like u did this, you allowed him to feel like everything was HIS responsibility and like he couldn’t trust anyone. which is just so fucked up on another level. he watched tim isolate himself and beat himself up over trying to solve this and he?? just?? let?? it?? happen???
and some how he can do no wrong?????
when tim first became robin, who gave him the suit? i’m pretty sure it was alfred. yes, tim was a relentless little kid—but that’s just that. he was a fucking kid, no older than thirteen. alfred gave him the suit. sure, it was to save bruce, but why did it have to be him? why couldn’t he call dick or superman or, hell, go out there himself? why’d it have to be the nosy ass neighbor?
also when bruce and dick used to beat the shit out of each other alfred didn’t do anything. he lowkey just let it happen. like how much is bruce paying bro for him to let that slide?
ALSO ALSO i would love someone to correct me on this, PLEASE tell me i’m wrong, but wasn’t alfred the one who put up the good soldier memorial? everyone hates on bruce (who, in a lot of ways, is a bad father) for that memorial being up but it was alfred. and i get he was but jason wasn’t just robin, he was so much more. and most importantly, he was a son. i know things were rocky for him and bruce but, god, that’s his son! like what the genuine fuck, yk?
and maybe this is only in some iterations but alfred literally influenced bruce to train to be a vigilante. he trained him when he was young, after his parents deaths. and yes, he was another one of those relentless kids, but there were things alfred could’ve tried to stop him from doing this.
what i’m trying to say is, im so fucking tired of this ‘saint alfred’ BS. he’s in the wrong! maybe not all of the time but a lot of the time. and i don’t know if that ‘jason loves alfred the most!’ thing is fanon or canon but either way i hate it. if you’re going to make bruce a bad dad, if you’re making jason and bruce’s relationship rocky, then alfred can’t be the exception. he should be held accountable as much as bruce.
like, if jason loved alfred so much and saw him as a grandfather, why isn’t he pissed at alfred for not killing the joker. sure he wanted bruce to do it but after bruce didn’t, why didn’t alfred take it into his own hands? alfred has no problems with killing people who deserve it. he was a soldier for crying out loud!
if jason and alfred are as close as fanon claims then jason should be beefing with alfred as much as he does with bruce for not avenging him.
okay, this turned into a rant about jason and alfred’s annoying fanon relationship but you get my point.
i don’t hate alfred, i hate fanon alfred and i hate this fandom and how they love to hold bruce accountable for wrongs that lowkey could be alfred’s fault too. and i also hate that’s it’s so hard to dislike alfred because people will yell at you for it. in my fics i try to keep him as out of it as i can because god forbid i make him how he is in the comics.
alfred is a flawed character—just like bruce and jason and tim and dick and damian and duke—and that’s okay! it’s better when they’re not so one dimensional, it makes them way more interesting as a character and also allows fanon to create perfect character development over the span of long ass fics that i love to binge.
thank you for coming to my ted talk.
#p.s. please remember alfred is british#the brits eat beans on bread#we all know this man’s cooking is shit idc what canon or fanon says#dc please make alfred cook bad#there’s something funny abt having a butler that can’t cook#robin#dc comics#alfred pennyworth#dc characters#characterization#mischaracterization#alfred pennyworth hate#i’m sorry this had to be said#bruce wayne#either retire bad dad bruce wayne or make bad father figure alfred pennyworth a thing#he’s also a bad father to his daughter#WHO BRO LITERALLY ABANDONED FOR BRUCE#LIKE WTF#can we not let that slide#jason todd#jason todd and alfred pennyworth#alfred and bruce#tim drake#dick grayson#damian wayne#duke thomas#batfamily#batfam#fics#ao3

sometimes, a lot more often than necessary i would say, dan and/or phil will say something and everyone will go ?? that's how british people pronounce that word ???? and you have to realise that a lot of the time the answer is no. they don't. dan and phil do, because there's many things wrong with them, but that doesn't always mean it's like.. normal
#other times it is just a weird british thing though to be fair#swear to god i've never heard anyone say cashews like that though#i'm not british i can't say for certain there isn't some obscure dialect in which that's normal#but it certainly isn't either of theirs

I sketched a mother and daughter on the tube because they had a lovely resemblance and gave them the sketch, explaining that I had loved their smiles.
They were so so happy, showed all their family, and explained they were visiting London from Greece. They said they had been wonderfully delighted by the kindness and warmth of the British, which they said with tremendous sincerity.
I said, “I hope you have a lovely time in London!” And was very very good about it. I was so brave about it. (not british)
#im not British#and that’s not relevant#an interesting thing is that I might not be a particularly skilled artist BUT#that might be the only sketch they’ve had of themselves so it’s like#in real life it oddly matters less. they’re just happy someone appreciated the resemblance of their smiles
