A mysterious actress appears in Gotham!

Production for the long-anticipated remake of the 1930s classic horror film, "The Clay", is saved in part thanks to the audition of one woman with no credits to her name, just a face and demeanor identical of the late leading actress of the original film.

However, the cast and crew have bigger worries than their limited budget and endless demands from their producers -- everyone involved seems to be disappearing one by one!

While the average gothammite worries that the cult classic's "cursed" reputation might be a little more than an urban legend, The Batman refuses to entertain such unfounded silliness and aims to get to the bottom of this crime against cinema!

presenting BATMAN '63 - THE RISE OF CLAYFACE coming not actually ever lmao

(her hair is brown now because I like the idea of her appearance never being fully consistent lol. shapeshifters gotta do their thing)

Imagine: an extremely depressing fic where Soap survives Makarov’s gunshot, but not for long. Maybe he holds on for a week, maybe for a month, but he ends up succumbing anyways. But at least it’s enough for Ghost to say goodbye.

another set of potential post-sriv anteros looks. still not sure what i want tbh but i always like doing these kinds of concepts

hi (also high) i would like to hear your thoughts on the toxic trashy erotica ✋🏿

okay so right now I am thinking about the Linden Game (which is. toxic erotica disguised as a villain arc. cnc kink stockholm syndrome shit) but also thinking about potentially doing something new (debating ideas of ownership and service. power imbalance relationship played to the max. "i could have you killed at any second" while the other rages against their bonds. hatred and fascination wound so close together that if you squint they almost look like love)

I'm making (slow, but) consistent progress on TLG so i'm debating sketching something out for the other idea... the problem is always the worldbuilding because i have. so many different worlds and it becomes a decision of "does this belong in any of these? no? okay new one it is"

Wholly agree Duolingo isn't great any more but it's the only fully free site so it's all I can use...:(

I totally get it anon, it’s a tough situation. For what it’s worth, I believe most of memrise is free, so it might be worth taking a look to see if it has your language. And I mentioned this in the post, but your local library may give you free access to other apps. Tumblr library propaganda has taught me many things about what libraries offer!

And even though I’ve been mad at duo for a lot longer (since they rolled out that stupid path, even though I managed to dodge it for over a year by not updating my app, they did eventually force it onto my ancient and crumbling version lmao), I kept up with it for a long time just because I couldn’t find an alternative I liked. And tbh I’m still not sure what I’m gonna do now, cause it turns out I like casually learning languages, it’s fun and I don’t want to stop, I’d love to get at least conversational in several, but I’m not exactly sure where I’ll go from here yet

Even disregarding the ethical issues, I do worry about the future for duo learners because machine translation simply cannot compete with the real thing. I think anyone trying to read something from another language knows from experience lmao. But I think it will be a while before the app really dies, because the idea of learning for free is a good one. It’s just sad the ceo sold his soul and made duo publicly traded, because it’s been going downhill since (completely changing courses when you’re halfway through, the path, the loss of the forums, the removal of notes, the loss of typing practice, and now severe staff cuts for a cheaper but inferior option)

It sucks ass but it is what it is and I won’t necessarily judge anyone for sticking with it if it’s your only option. I also saw some statements from people who worked on the original duo courses as volunteers upset about these developments, but also distraught that all this work and effort and love they put into the courses would be for nothing if duo eventually does shut down. The courses were originally made by people, for free too, and most of their work is still there, I can’t blame them for being upset at their love letters to the world getting twisted but also not wanting their work to disappear forever because everyone quit. There’s no winning for them at this stage

Idk this is way more rambling than was necessary lmao, but anyway let’s summarize by saying I feel you, it sucks, but I also understand if people keep using the free version duo because, and especially depending on the language you’re working on, sometimes there really aren’t feasible alternatives

Everyone quiet, im just having a big boob elf drawing phase...

And I've also been thinking her and her setting a lot, and maybe I wanna do something with it, not sure what (comic? just some story vignettes with illustrations? would there be any interest in seeing either?) 

This is Val. She is one of those life's eternal grad students. From a rich, like, very rich merchant family, she's been living it easy studying magic and trying to find her Big Break to focus her research on. She's in for a rude awakening now, though, as her family is now interested in getting her married off to a son of a poor noble family, so they can become nobility-by-family-association. 

Val, naturally, wants none of this, and decides it's time for her to fockin' skedaddle, and sets her sights on seeking shelter from her archmage aunt. Problem is, she is known to live in a remote, semi-hidden MageCity™ (name pending) and Val, who hasn't teeeeechhhnically obtained her full mage rank, is not invited in yet, and would have to find the place essentially on foot.

So, naturally, an adventure happens.

So what if—hear me out—there was a mesmer, who was so traumatized by something when they were a wee thing... (And possibly by their magic awakening.) Had illusions so strong, that no one—not even them—knew that they weren't real? These illusions being family members of this mesmer, having been real once or not at all.

got emotional thinking about dex and anteros going back to the church together for the first time since sr2. like them going back post-sriv. it’s bittersweet. on one hand, this is where everything started, and dex genuinely wants to show anteros the work he put into restoring the church. anteros can’t deny how much passion dex clearly put into it. it’s a testament to dex’s love for stilwater, for everything that happened. on the other hand, there’s something particularly haunting for both of them being back there. it’s a clear marker that things have changed, that things cannot go back to being the same.

worst of all, the audio tours that julius recorded are a permanent fixture of the church. julius, the person they’ve been skirting around talking about all this time, becomes impossible to ignore. his voice echoing through the empty halls, a stark reminder of everything they’ve been through and everything they’ll never be able to forget. he’s irrevocably part of both of them forever.
