Anyone else hearing something crawling in the walls?

Mechanics Dep., Open Comms Responses:

Crew Member 2544, T8: Maybe it’s those fu*ing lizards eating our tech

Crew Member 2572, T5: Buddy it’s not. It’s funnier than that. You really want to know?

Crew Member 2523, T5: What is it?

Crew Member 2572, T5: It’s our Captain. Well he’s also in there w a couple of other Mechs and Engineers that are small enough and. they’re chasing the lizards. I saw him crawling out.

Crew Member 2544, T8: What in the fresh hell

Crew Member 2523, T5: This is so ridiculously off protocol it’s kinda funny. How did he even get into command. Baby Captain

...ok hear me out:

If there's ever a movie version of EPIC, one of the guys who gets eaten by Scylla is implied to be if not outright stated to be Eurylochus's secret gay lover

I did not expect ppl tweeting about Law lost his family. I thought ppl would think the Heart crew be alive from the speech. Also, Oda doesn't kill characters that often compared to other mangaka imo. Oda usually kill off a character when there is importance to the story and shows the dead body.

Sorry for the rant. I like being chiming in ur asks and readings ur blog and ur art💖

clings to you for comfort thank you ♥

Remembering the toxic hellscape that was 2015-2019ish SU fandom and just how much hate the show got is really insane when you rewatch the show after it's been a while. Like the show is good what the hell were any of these people talking about

[ask-artsy-oncie]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Disney TVA isn't a good avenue for story-based shows because it doesn't care about good storytelling. Telling a quality story isn't the network's goal, so they clash with this genre of show way more often than not.

Like, there's a reason why episodic, slice-of-life shows tend to last so long on their channels and also usually exist with much less controversy - when you're working with the smallest snippets of story that executives can demand you drop if they're not "safe" or "consistent with the brand", all without really impacting an over-arching plot, you gain a lot more staying power than a show where leaking a single episode, or "accidentally" airing episodes out of order, or rushing the ending due to sudden cancelation can actually ruin the viewing experience.

When you get a company that offers you a "choice" between a season 3 or a movie, a company that carelessly leaks information, a company that cancels you when you need more screen time to wrap up certain plot points properly, you suffocate your showrunner and your crew when they're just trying to make it all work. Gravity Falls, Ducktales, Amphibia, and The Owl House were ALL victims of this network's shitty practices (Star VS was its own can of worms, that I don't feel escaped these practices but also had other problems that affected it more, especially since it very miraculously got more screen time than any of the other shows mentioned) and their stories suffered for it at various points of the shows' airing.

I have said this - SO MANY TIMES to the Ducktales fandom specifically lol - but when you decide to engage with a story-based DTVA series, you're very, VERY likely going to have to meter your expectations just solely due to it being produced by Disney. Because Disney has now a long history of mistreating and mishandling its story-based shows. Now that The Owl House has ended and people are talking about this again, I want to spread that reminder around, again:

It's okay to criticize these shows and their ability to tell a story properly, but PLEASE try to understand the context and working conditions the crew was under when they were making it, when you're drafting your criticism. A lot, and I mean a LOT, of the problems people complain about the most (and often blame the crew for) are issues that none of them had control over, or were simply doing their best to work around whenever Disney steps in to fuck things up. If you're going to engage with public criticism, or, more worryingly, engage with the crew on social media, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to understand how the behind-the-scenes of the show operated.

It just genuinely boggles my mind sometimes - we live in an era where people working in the Television Animation Industry have more of a voice than they EVER had, to detail the issues and constraints networks have dealt to them. Social media has allowed so much mistreatment and mishandling of crews and shows to come to light. And yet!!! So many people are given this avenue of understanding!! And they don't!!!!! Listen!!!!!!! And instead they use it to yell at showrunners and crewmembers.

I'm begging y'alls to at least develop some pattern recognition with this godforsaken network. Please do that at least.

Bridge Records Stardate: 12/3

Captain: I feel like I’m having a midlife crisis.

Navigation Officer: Sir you are in your twenties.

Captain: Well then this is the middle of my life.

*uneasy silence*

Communication Officer: Captain Idris, with all due respect I don’t think that’s how it works.

For this next chapter of Galidraan I will be throwing myself into the abyss because I can't get these characters to act right.

just got back from an RPG/LARP weekend earlier today which was very fun but I just played so many games back-to-back that my brain is rotating inside my skull like a washing machine lmfao

also. an inquisitor pax au would never happen in the da verse. given the nature of the anchor and how it uniquely ties them to the fade ( even giving a dwarf inky !!! dreams !!! a dwarf !!! ), it would simply give the hunger demon too much power. it WOULD be hunger. it probably was able to purge pax. only keeping a ‘template’ of what he was in order to evolve, learn. if not purge or assimilate him fully, then it’s a situation to what pax is doing to the demon: suppressing it and locking it away. i think eventually it would be able to assimilate pax Fully. or what it only wanted to keep.

Anyway Mouthwashing spoilers

I'm turning Curly over in my head for the narrative punishment he's put through. Like you could you COULD interpret him as a pure victim, framed for Jimmy's crime and forced to suffer in skinless silence while his assailant gets to assume his role but it's more than that, to me. It's not just Jimmy bad Curly good. It's Curly's enablement of Jimmy that sets all of this in motion and, now, how will you take Responsibility, Curly?

It's Curly's "I've known Jimmy a long time. He'll listen to me." It's Curly's brand of leadership that hinges more on being seen as a good leader than on actually taking action. Because being seen as a good leader requires everyone to like him and that's more important to him than actually protecting Anya from Jimmy.

You could say "Jimmy just had everyone fooled into thinking he was a decent guy" except no you can't, because Anya hid the gun from him knowing Jimmy may go ballistic learning she's pregnant with his baby. And she hides the gun because Curly wouldn't. "Why do they have locks on medbay and the cockpit but not in the sleeping quarters?" Anya asks to Curly. Curly knows Jimmy raped Anya but his brand of I Need To Be Liked leadership asserts that Jimmy deserves a seat at the table of this solution. Curly won't do anything. He won't do anything even when he says he'd do anything.

And this is even after Jimmy tore into Curly with left-field accusations about the crew being laid off being something Curly wanted. All the evidence we have says the whole crew is being let go, Curly along with everyone, but Jimmy turns on him and makes it out like Curly wanted this and Curly is the enemy to everyone else on the ship. Curly won't stand up for himself. He won't shut Jimmy down. Swansea holds onto the axe because when locked up the axe requires the Captain to unlock, and maybe Swansea recognizes he's on a ship with a Captain who would not use the axe on the man who needs it.

Curly never wanted anything bad to happen. He never tried to hurt anyone. He never crashed the ship. But he's the one person who could have shut Jimmy down for every horrible sign and action along the way and he didn't he didn't he didn't he didn't. And the very first time he tries to intervene is when it's too little too late. HE gets eviscerated. He gets all his skin burned off. Because of what Jimmy did, but because of what Curly allowed.

And now his chance to act as Captain is gone. His chance to do right is gone. Jimmy is captain now and everyone who knows he's a monster is no longer capable of acting against him. And now skinless voiceless eternally watching, Curly has to lie in his own blood and bear witness to what Jimmy is doing, to everything he enabled. At Jimmy's mercy now like all the others, who physically beats him now and who is there to stand up for Curly? Enable. Enable enable enable.
