sometimes I think they put some sort of...aural drug in mediocre movies. If I played all these thoroughly middling movies in reverse, would I hear a satanic message telling me, YOU WILL BE TEMPTED BEYOND ALL REASON TO WRITE FANFIC ABOUT---YES, THE MOVIE YOU HALF-WATCHED WHILE COOKING AND ANSWERING EMAILS. YES. YES, I---YES, I'M SERIOUS. YES, THIS MOVIE. THE CHARACTERIZATION OR LACK THEREOF MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. UH HUH. MHM. YEP. LOOK, I DON'T MAKE THE RULES, I JUST WORK HERE OKAY?
#I watched a horror film and unfortunately now want a novel about the last 10 minutes of it.#this feeling never ever happens with good media! good media is a thing unto itself and I don't want to touch it.#it only happens with mediocre things.#though it is nice to discover that whatever neuron fires and prompts ''you want to write a self-indulgent novel about this''#isn't dead. I genuinely thought it was! it turns out I was watching and reading too much good art.#rookie mistake. I only want to make fanfic about the kind of movies you watch late at night while also scrolling#they are 3/4ths bad but that remaining 1/4 is going to rattle something loose in my skull

pickleball OCs 🥒🏓
Last artwork before the year ends! I sketched this back in summer and really wanted to preserve the linework so i tried to keep the rendering to a minimum (more difficult than anticipated…)
(no reposts; reblogs appreciated!)
#my art#artists on tumblr#digital art#original art#oc art#character art#pickleball#full disclosure im a very mediocre player#possibly bc i hate following the rules of the game#like wdym i have to keep track of the score and who’s serving and where on the court to stand#id rather just volley back and forth for fun#officer i have a permit i do what i want#that said i would lose it if my ocs actually had a sports anime#girlfailures and i love to see it <3#hm now that this is done its funny to see all the media ive consumed influencing my art#oikawa haunts me#and i can def see avatar & bnha somewhere in there too#oh also happy holidays!#i got a cold for christmas and am so ill rn (again)

looooool
#i'm so beyond offended that this mid-off is what daniel was fired for#also you just know when horner's not in front of the cameras that internally he's in shambles seeing the level of mediocre his current#lineup is and the absolute bull he has to spin to the media to defend it week in and week out#and that thought brings me great joy#miami gp 2025

Hey listen. I heard you were wanting to watch unfandomizable slop so I figured I would offer strange movies ive watched or heard of that really were cheesy or boring but might be an easy way to waste an hour doing something.
Sharknado and all its sequels:
It’s so stupid. It’s so so so stupid and bad and cheesy. It has some blood in it but god it’s just stupid. The sharks??? Get put in tornado??? And in one they get sent back in time??? It’s just. Stupid. Never got attached to any of the characters and could not follow the plot for the life of me so I’m hoping you feel the same.
Birdemic:
Ive only seen this one talked about in the history books of bad movies but OH GOD the clips I’ve seen look horrid.
Little shop of horrors:
This one’s a bit risky. It’s a fun movie but is a bit cheesy. This one’s veering on good since I actually like this one so if you don’t wanna take the risk I understand. Also feed me Seymour ate for some reason.
Snakes on a plane:
I don’t even know what this one is but I have a hint to what it could be. Haven’t watched it but SNL did a skit and my dad said it was bad so I’m assuming it’s bad.
There! A few things Ive watched or heard of that kinda suck. Hope you enjoy or actually I hope you don’t enjoy because these movies are supposed to suck.
You slander little shop of horrors? You say it's merely VEERING on good?! Kinda sucks, you say?! Gasp. Shock. Unbelievable. How could you insult Twoey like this.
yeah I'm familiar with these. I've seen little shop and at least a couple sharknados. I remember when snakes on a plane was a meme.
I see your Sharknado and i raise you Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws, the best bad movie I've ever seen. You can also watch ghost shark 1 but i don't think it's actually related to ghost shark 2 at all and it isn't NEARLY as campy.
#(for the record I'm not 'looking FOR' mediocre media. I didn't put myself in the market for recommendations.)#(i just reminded people that I'm looking AWAY FROM good media. so y'all don't need to throw recs at me.)#(i have plenty of non-hyperfixatable media on my to-view list. I've got nonfiction books & documentaries & old movies with no fandom.)#(& literary novels & mysteries & such. They might be good but they don't have the right framing and characters to inspire rabid obsession.)#darsbw#ask

Alright hear me out for a second -
"It's ok to enjoy and find meaning in flawed media because art is subjective and human creation is never perfect" and "We need to arm ourselves with media literacy, criticize media and not fall prey to blind consumerism that big companies want to lure us into" are statements that can and should co-exist.
#it's possible to love something and not make excuses#and in case anyone's hoping this is an attack on any particular thing: nope. sorry to disappoint#it's an issue beyond fandom drama#please treat it as such#don't let them languish in mediocrity#don't let them feel entitled to their work being uncritically celebrated#cílil speaks#media#writing#fandom#just a thought

How did you get so good at animating and drawing? Aside from practice, what techniques do you use? What software do you use?
I only know the basics/fundamentals of both drawing and animation.
For drawing, I've carried out lessons about the Elements and principles of design, the history of graphics design, traditional drawing techniques, color theory, anatomy, character design, blah blah blah. Lots of info I still do my best to practice/put in my art. If y'all notice me animating gifs then it's bc I have time to do so... ( I'm in term break until late July ) They're likely short, but it's through animation blocking, timing, and incorporating both in-betweens and tweening.
I've used Adobe Animate/After Effects for school projects, sometimes for doodles only, I currently use Clip Studio Paint bc it's where I'm more comfy with ^^ Maybe someday I'll be able to afford Toon Boom hehe.
#messyr#always morally correct to pirate adobe products guys trust me in this one#anyway it's not that im THAT GOOD- I just expose myself to so much media consumption + my unquenchable thirst for art is just something#I still have a lot of flaws in my works from mediocre to average in professionals/industry's eyes. Theres still so much to learn and try#Considering my course as a multimedia student- also feeds the 'I want to learn everything and anything' mindset.#born to animate forced to be a mixed package: honestly im not even gonna complain AHAHAHHA#im actually surprised im not burnt out after 2d animation finals in 1st year and film production finals 2nd year#MANIFESTING TO GRADUATE AS JACK OF ALL TRADES / MASTER OF NONE#pls dont percieve me as easy going or envy shit- i work TWICE as hard in everything I do bc imindubitably so dumb at times#not only that but almost always handicapped as if God decides to nerf patch my life every damn time

I’m earnest about everything idgaf
#text#my problem is that unless something is truly horrendous I WILL find a way to meet mediocre media at its level and tease out all the#interesting things that it has to offer.

i cannot express just how grateful i am that the devs decided to make rook so unique, in almost all areas of the game
like, obviously it's not da origins level, because that was a miracle in of itself and might never be repeated, but it's still so commendable, especially if we fairly compare it to inquisition
because think about it. we get like, what, six or seven faction backgrounds that you get to choose, and then you get a special relationship with people inside that faction? are you fucking kidding me that's awesome. not only that, but we also get a background, we get to know what our rook did before the events of the game, and we can decide how they react to it. do they feel remorse? regret? freedom? sure, you may need to add a little bit of context yourself for some factions, but that's the fun part! you get to make a little guy and develop them in your head! you're building them in-game
not to mention the combat and skill system of the game. there're seven companions and they all have their classes, and you can pick between two styles of fighting (except for rogue i guess, kind of) and your spec ties into a faction. you feel very unique because you can just be whatever and no other companion will repeat after you (or you repeat after them)! isn't that neat!
compare that to inquisition. who tf is your inquisitor. they're literally just a Guy (gender neutral). when you pick a spec they're all the same as your companions. how is this in any way making my inquisitor stand out. they're just a vessel, an empty plot device. they walked into a room and people pushed them into being a religious leader. it literally could have been anyone else. the only interesting choice i remember from inquisition that actually made me remember that they're a person is when you talk with casssandra about whether or not you believe in god. that's it
you become a symbol in 1/3 of the game. you aren't a person, your decisions matter to the whole world now, and you can't be biased about it. the game wants you to be analytical, but it doesn't want me to act like my character, i'm basically playing a Build Your Own Empire simulator
so don't you even start telling me rook isn't interesting, or that they're nobody. they have a story, a pre-existing one, but a story nonetheless. just like hawke does. we're roleplaying a specific character, and if the game does most of the work - that's fine by me, i'll just fill in the gaps and make my rook feel richer and have interesting dynamics with the veilguard. if you can't imagine your rook in Situations, i'm so sorry for you, because i'm having so much fun with them
#i think i got a little heated at the end but fuck some takes really pissed me off#i think you really should use your imagination with rook but the game Gets your there#i have never been as attached to a personal oc as i have to rook in rpgs#and i love seeing everyone's rooks too bc everyone has such an interesting story for them#you know how mediocre media brings the best in people. thats whats happening here#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age veilguard#datv#dragon age rook#rook#uh. i dont remember what tags people usually use whatevr#mine#soups walkie talkie

I may or may not be coalescing ideas for "what if I wrote a season 4 for H2O: Just Add Water" as a future longform project
#my fanfic#h2o just add water#maybe my calling in life is to write elaborate sequels to semi-mediocre but very fun teen mermaid media

I just read a few of the 2017 spiderman and Deadpool comics and.
Its god awful. #12 is where I stopped. The quips feel dry, this isn’t who Wade is this isn’t Peter please kill me
i sm so sorry you had to see that chief
#sci speaks#kelly you did good with the new dp/w comic. thank you.#but i still hate you for sm/dp#sighs. i do remember when sm/dp was coming out and i was complaining about it#and i got a resounding reaction of “wow. sci thinks they're better than canon.”#but my takes are correct and my meat is huge.#its not my fault that i'm right.#when something is good i promise you. i'm the first to admit it. i love good media.#but i will not let mediocrity SLIDE !!!

I legitimately cannot conceive of Buck putting in for a transfer in the finale as making any kind of narrative sense or being connected everything that came before it. It's so out of nowhere for me. It truly seems like they just put it there to prop up what they wanted Chimney's ending speech to say.
On top of the that, they didn't even do anything with it. Honestly, the whole fractured team thing, in the finale at least, felt largely manufactured. Which, all fiction is manufactured, but it's not supposed to feel like it. And really aside from the Athena/Chimney beef and the already partly or fully resolved Buck/Eddie beef, the team wasn't shown to be actually fractured. Chim and Hen were still tight. Eddie and Hen. Hen was worried about Buck. Etc. Like, the team was teaming pretty well, all things considered.
#I guess I'm just posting this shit on my blog now#Sorry to everyone who may be annoyed by this#911 spoilers#911 negativity#Shut up fraddit#Like maybe I'm just suddenly a fucking idiot#But I really cannot wrap my head around the Buck transfer shit#I literally said out loud when I was watching it in the moment that it made no fucking sense#Again I do actually think the episode was mid#Like it was a thoroughly mediocre episode#But that's not good enough for me#And this is actually how I interact with my media pretty much always#I just don't usually do it in public#But like new year new me (it's may)
