[driftershunt]

hello buddy, i am here to collect your thoughts on the firm :3c

THIS IS MY KIND OF ASK. Prefacing this with a Mitchy sketch:

I genuinely have no bad things to say about The Firm, it's a very good film! I'd rank it in my top 10 Cruise films and I even have a poster of it on my wall!!! Mitchell Y. McDeere is very important to me.

I haven't read the novel yet so my only reference of the story is the film, so just putting that out there before I get into what I particularly love about this film LOL 1. Mitch and Abby's relationship is genuinely such a strong part of the film. I maintain that the film wouldn't have worked as well if Abby had been given less importance as a character. And when Abby decides to come back to Mitch, you really do get the feeling that she was given the space and time to do that herself rather than being forced into it. I love them, they're a wonderful couple <3 Communication and forgiveness wins 2. Something I don't see a lot of people talk about is Avery. Yeah, he's a weird guy and he's Lowkey a creep to Abby, but I was eating up the implications that Avery used to be just like Mitch before the Firm dug its claws into him. Avery is what Mitch's future would have looked like if Mitch hadn't gotten out and it ups the stakes for me the tiniest bit 3. The entire final act. Delicious. Tom Cruise running for his life and then looking like a sad wet dog while speaking to the Moroltos. How could you ask for more . 4. Just in general, every character feels so Distinct in a way a lot of films don't manage. I think about Ray and Tammy way too often 5. HEARSAY!!!!! NEED I SAY MORE

Do you know of any resources or posts specifically about captioning comics? I am very new to this, but I love comics and I make comics so I want to learn how to caption them properly. Thank you for your blog and all you do!

Delighted you asked this, since it gives me the excuse to share one of my top favorite posts about exactly that!!! I used @/TheQueerWithoutFear's addition in this post as a personal bible when starting out with art IDs! I think this post also has advice which is generally applicable to lots of comic IDs, since people can get bogged down writing every single detail of a piece when the broad strokes would do and thus detract from the overall comprehensibility of an ID. I also really appreciate this site as a great resource for examples on how to write concisely and with an audience in mind, and this post also lays out a lot of good tips! I'll round out this post with some general advice/guidelines:

Neither alt text nor caption IDs are better or even necessarily more accessible than the other; what matters is good formatting (so please don't put IDs below a readmore or use anything but plain text, use sentence case and primarily formal language, use brackets and "ID/End ID" formatting for caption IDs but omit them from alt, etc!)

For comics, especially long ones, I personally favor conciseness over strict fidelity to art, though this is highly subjective and depends on the piece and sometimes my mood. What I would boil this down to is that you don't need to include every detail in a piece to write a good ID, and using narration/prose is often more understandable than transcribing visual techniques (Ex: "She notices something to the side" is clearer and more succinct than "Action lines next to her face indicate she saw something to the side")

Organizing an ID's information in a top-down format is best for comprehensibility: start with who/what is featured (and where they're from, if applicable) and what they're doing, and then move on to background, style, and details

Last, you're welcome, and thank YOU so much for reaching out!! Artists like you make the world go round!! Please feel free to reach out if you ever have more questions, and have a wonderful day!!!

Hello it’s the kabru x toshiro anon again! AAAH i love your answers thank u so so much!! I adore the way u approach both of them without making them feel out of character its so good!

U saying that kabru would be giddy about toshiro wanting to marry him made me laugh cuz i imagine both of them trying not to act like 2 teenagers deeply in love (and failing at trying to suppress it lol lol)

side note i instantly thought of that wedding scene from Up where one family is happy and excited while the other family is super duper calm and stoic

absolutely dying at the idea of one of them coming through the door holding up a 16-year-old and saying “we’re dads now!” while the other one does a spit-take

funny thought of kabru's party also being present in this kid's life like they r aunts and uncles. uncle mickbell wouldnt be a good influence lmaoo

but also sad thinking about kabru visibly getting panicky or nervous from ptsd :( i wonder if toshiro would figure out how to calm him down

that’s all the thoughts i have rn! Love love love the way u approach both of them and explore their characters beyond laios, i adore seeing some love given to toshiro considering sum people are… strange with him. Thank u again for answering and thank you for the kabshiro food im eating it all up!!!

omg I'm eating good today, too. TY for feeding me with your lovely hcs!! and it's so nice to hear your follow-up. it's always such a high compliment when y'all like my characterizations <3 i lowkey reread every manga scene with either of them before writing my kabshiro meta post to make sure i got it right lolll

LOL real, it is hilarious imagining them acting like teenagers w their first crushes /affectionate bc by the time they'd be getting married, they'd be like 27 and 31 prbly lmfao. ig that's what happens when you don't let yourself be emotionally vulnerable w anyone until you're well into your twenties dslkjflsdj

the up scene is fantastic. each other's families being their new in-laws... amusing, chaotic thought

and yes exactly! if children happen for them, i want them to be thrust into parenting a teenager right off the bat lollll

i love love the idea of kabru's party being like family for their kid. uncle mickbell is truly a terrifying concept... at least, the rest of them would be fairly normal(?) though i can see holm being a sleeper agent of chaos and teaching the kid gnomish swears and feigning innocence afterwards

yeah :( fr justice for kabru. toshiro would def have to learn how to handle kabru's ptsd episodes bc i doubt he's ever seen good models for supporting people with panic disorders/anxiety/similar mental health issues before, but after consulting with others, i think he'd be able to support kabru by staying calm and present and doing the "name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, etc." exercise with him. the first real struggle in kabru's healing journey will be getting him to admit that he's not okay :sob:

and LOL anon, i see you... and i hear you and i agree with you. free my asian kings from that white man

i don't think people hcing charlie as transfem are trying to dismiss the transmasc charlie hc! i think it's more of a projection thing for a lot of people, since i know at least a few of the main people who enjoy the headcanon are transfem themselves!! i don't think you have much to worry about in terms of people dismissing the tmasc or other genderqueer charlie hc anyways, since it's already much more popular! i think you're perhaps being a bit too critical.

I've literally never said anything like this at all, I think you've either misinterpreted something else I've said or have the wrong blog.

All of my Charlie gender-based posts or reblogs I've stated/tagged that I think any interpretation of Charlie's gender can make sense, be it transmasculine, transfeminine, nonbinary, agender, whatever you want.

I am one of the ~3 blogs that has access to The Bathroom Problem script and who posted and pointed out that you can make out/slightly hear the Joyce cuts in the episode itself. I would not have excitedly shared that for open-interpretation if I was "worried" people are "dismissing" transmasc Charlie headcanons. (Which, again, I've literally never said, but in any case, I believe it's valid for anyone to dismiss a headcanon they don't agree with, fandom is a sandbox.)

What I personally don't care for are genderbends and, almost by extension, analysis/meta on canon scenes that rename/re-gender the characters with no basis (or, one that comes off wrong). Both topics I've literally never publicly spoken out against here, nor have I said anything bad/negative to everyone who personally enjoys these things, so there is no way for me to possibly be "too critical" in that regard. I keep most of my opinions to myself and my close mutuals, almost exactly for what you're saying: I personally don't want to harsh or dismiss anyone's headcanons.

I have never said, and have never meant to imply, that anyone interpreting Charlie as transfem is attempting to dismiss anyone else's headcanon (which again would be a non issue to me anyway).

[calamitydaze]

long tag ramble below u have been warned

[grayskiesandink]

Gonna do obscure n random hcs-

Dream has a soft spot for twins. He sees twins an gets nostalgic n sad/ most people portray ink as evil-soulless guy thats lying but i think he'd mostly be happy and having fun with life/I personally cannot see ink or classic as anything BUT aroace. I physically cannot. / when people touch error they lose their lineart and it feels soo weird. Kinda like when a hand falls asleep. / most afterdeath kids dont have the death touch, but a few like greape, anubis, or ancolie do/ nightmare isnt the nightmare dream grew up with. Hes literally a different person- a sorta parasite that took over passives body through the apples/ to go along with that last one nm and fresh resent each other. Fresh has fun with it, but nightmare hates his entire being and sees him a threat./ error is soo silly. Literally just having fun with himself until someone comes along n messes it up by having opinions or existing.

first I will say I love these headcanons/opinions these are great !!!! spinning these around in my brain. now for if they match up with my own B) all interpretations are valid interpretations Dream and twins: I've actually been thinking about something similar lately!! In my mind, its almost a trigger for him? If he sees two identical twins it Will make him think about his past, if not just make him feel..... sad. feel as if he's missing something. Ink isn't evil?: I 100% AGREE. you. you understand him. he's just a silly guy living his life. i personally like putting him in situations that reveal his morality (which, to others in the multiverse, appears grey. in short, he's a character who has the morality of a creator. there's more to it. but, hes interesting! he's interesting). I like exploring all angles of him and his views and morality and character and bwghkrgbirhwbg but really hes just a guy. just a guy having a good time yknow. or trying. AroAce Ink & Sans Classic: I pretty much fully agree with this, just with the change that I can't see them as being anything but on the aroace spectrum. I see Sans as biromantic asexual, bi aroace, or aroace. Ink is the one who I often just see as aroace, and really more often just see him as just that. Error's touch causing loss of lineart: I haven't ever thought of this before but I LOVE IT SM. will be thinking of this.... I also like the idea of physical touch not just hurting Error but affecting whoever touched them.

AfterDeath kids and Death's Touch: I actually don't know a lot about AfterDeath ship kids! So, I haven't really thought much about them. I do think that any kids of reaper and geno would have something weird around death though, maybe not death touch but something similar. Nightmare isn't Nightmare?: I actually really don't like Nightmare and passive not being the same person. Personally, I feel like there is a way you could rewrite Dreamtale to make it work better, but it would have to be a significant rewrite (which people do and I love it when they do). It just feels like... something often gets lost with Nightmare's story when he isn't the same person, at least in some way. I personally like the idea that Nightmare himself doesn't see himself as passive. He sees himself as having killed that part of him, or something like that. Or, I can see Nightmare having dissociated away from that part of himself. Or, I can see Nightmare being like "yeah I'm nightmare I'm the nightmare you knew, Dream. this is what you've done, this is what you've made". In any case, they are the same person in at least some way to me. Nightmare and Fresh resent each other: This is really cool with the idea of both Nightmare and Fresh being parasites. It's not a headcanon I have, since I don't see Nightmare that way. I think Nightmare is just kinda mildly annoyed by Fresh- Fresh thinks Nightmare is fun to mess with. Nm rarely ever destorys aus (because he needs aus to feed on) so Fresh doesn't see him as a threat. Error is silly: YES. well. ok. sometimes. Error takes his job seriously..... sometimes..... like cq has said Error is contradictory he doesn't make sense he's not supposed to make sense. I think sometimes Error's silly with it sometimes he's not. overall he is just a silly guy though !!

So can we talk about the concert? Omg in nashville were so awesome. I think they did the same set list for NY. Can we talk CC's drum and trumpet solo? Or Jinxx's piano? He brought out the hat 💖💙❤️💜 or how Lonny is just precious? Or the back to back with Jinxx and Jake? Or how Andy is just I dunno I can't put it into words- seriously he's adorable but more than that.

Sorry

I just had to get it out with some one whom might understand.

Dear nonnie NEVER apologize I get it I am always here to talk nonsense about These Fucking Guys my whole blog is for talking nonsense about These Fucking Guys ‼️‼️‼️ it truly is a religious experience seeing them live like there they are!!!!!! They’re doing the things!!!!!!!! I genuinely cannot say enough about how much bvb concerts feel like home like I go to them and I’m like oh yeah THIS is where I’m meant to be

Also you are legally obligated to share any Nashville content you have 🫴 pay the toll 🫴🫴 (kidding, mostly)

[4th-make-quail]

you’re so real for writing the rpf this fandom needs. godspeed 🫡🫡

Heheh thank you, thank you! What can I say, I've been possessed!! I have another wip at 600 words which is gonna be a longer one too, and then like... ten thousand other ideas I wanna drabble out at some point, and that's without even mentioning my plans for exchanges lol. IT'S A SICKNESS!!!

[tapwater118]

ive ranted a bit abt this on my blog BUTT do u wanna hear abt my pencil theatre kid hcs? its ok if not i just like her a bit…🫶🫶🫶

feel free to! i enjoy listening to what people have to say about stuff.

i’ve seen you talk about it in relation to this, so i’ll just get out the gate with the fact i’m not all that familiar with mean girls, so anything related to that might go over my head.

otherwise, fair game!

[revunant]

youtuber voice whats up everyone. back at it again with another episode of Sorry Mutuals (New And Old Alike) For Not Interacting

part of it is cuz my carrd is still in dire need of an update and i don't feel like i can start reaching out and sending asks and doing starter calls until my information is Good and Current. part of it is cuz i usually like to lurk for a bit after following someone, so i can make sure i have a decent understanding of their character before i start sticking my nose in. i know it's fun to learn via rp, but i'm so scared of fundamentally mischaracterising them especially when the information is right there!! - and this waiting period has only gotten longer in the last couple of years

i am just generally quite nervous. even if i get everything right there's a chance my intrusion is Not Wanted. i understand that this isn't a good way to be in a hobby reliant on interacting with people but i've been doing it for 13 years and i'm not going to quit now. i'm trying to work on this skittish cat behaviour but irl circumstances are not conducive to brain fixing as much as they are to brain breaking. i hope one day this will change. (oh boy oh boy i hope!!!!!!!!!!!)

rest assured i don't follow people in the hopes that they'll boost my follower count in return. i do not care. my follower count on the current iteration of this blog is lower than it ever has been, and all i wish i had more of was interactions with my mutuals. it's going to happen, this is a threat,
