“Were you trained as a dancer?” “An acrobat. My whole family are acrobats.” // “Some people see a magic trick and say, ‘Impossible!’ They clap their hands, turn over their money, and forget about it ten minutes later. [..] And then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they’re the kind who won’t rest until they’ve mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I’m that kind.”

Or: a kinder universe.

The pumpkins have had it. "Jack-O'-Retribution" is born. Follow the lantern to your doom. Listen above, illustration and writing that started it here:

Typed words for people who don't read psychotic scratching:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

THEY SHOUT WITH GLEE! Oh HAPPY HALLOWEEN INDEED

Not for my kind, not for me... But this years different, this one's for us, you'll see!

I'll wait in my place The porch or the stoop Wherever you fancy Me out on display - That's where I'll wait

Till you're fast asleep Then I'll cut you open, Empty you out, And carve you a new face!

Then I'll leave your desecrated husk outside to shrivel and dry Before I smash you in the street!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

o' An unfortunate conclusion Yes, An unfortunate confusion You've never carved a jack-o-lantern No, Only Jacks-O'-Retribution!

Our only trick - Our only treat this night is that we leave you smiling filled with warmth and light sure to outlast the fright of when you catch the flash of old Jack's knife

Happy Halloween!

just saw asteroid city last night, pls explain the proposed significance of the kiss!!

answering this publicly hope thats ok! cant do a readmore im on mobile *****asteroid city spoilers below beware*****

i dont remember anyones names so this is gonna sound partly unhinged. okay so the edward norton playwright and jason schwartzman actor (not character, in the black and white parts) are lovers right. tbh i thought this was kind of a gag and forgot about it. but later we find out that the playwright died 6 months into the production. i didnt make the connection that THAT’s why the actor-jason has to suddenly leave the stage and freaks out backstage about how he’s not sure he’s Doing it right. hes not talking about acting!! because he himself is literally grieving his lover while he’s playing a character who’s grieving his wife written by his lover so obviously it’s too much!!! actor-jason is trying to find meaning in his death through his writing but there isnt any meaning in death [gerris drinkwater voice] which is what the play is trying to say anyway. he doesnt think he’s performing grief right even in his own life!!! (and tbh it’s the 50s so he wouldnt be able to perform grief publicly anyway!!!!) the play starts with a car accident… anyone would search for some hidden meaning there, some sign…. so when he talks to margot robbie outside it’s not really about finding the CHARACTER’s motivations it’s about the actor himself being able to process the playwright’s death! and adrien brody director was probably also dealing with that too (him and norton seemed to be good buddies) so the whole “sleeping backstage” thing gets a bit sadder maybe? maybe everyone else got this in the theatre and im just stupid lol but crazy making stuff to me!!! the whole story is about sublimated gay grief that cannot be expressed?!?!

the tweet that caught me onto this was here which posits that the playwright’s death was a suicide but i think that’s pretty stupid and unnecessary because the whole thing about the play asteroid city is that death is random and meaningless. im pretty sure that’s what the alien represents— a shocking and absurd event that isnt outright evil or menacing, not something anyone can predict or make sense of, it’s just a thing that happens to you out of nowhere, it doesnt mean anything. he’s a little black figure, he’s death! giving and taking! aagh

I love scripting extremely unnecessary skills, like yeah I can pick up my s/o without huge amount of muscles and even tho he’s like way taller than me, yeah I can do a good Eminem impression and an even better lin manuel Miranda impression.

Why? For jokes, I live to perform.

Guys, what are you doing? We're just watching kittens.

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

"Feels like this is your first time, pretty," Gallagher points out, "I don't think you've shaved someone's face before."

You draw back, gaping at him like a fish. "How dare you?" you play the part of being offended so well Gallagher nearly misses the hint of mirth in your features. "I-I've done this before, clearly!"

An amused huff leaves him, "Sure, I've heard that before."

To be fair, he remains unopposed to you shaving his face even if you haven't done it before. The not-so-sneaky glances you've been taking on his growing stubble is proof, and so are the times he's walked in to you watching videos on how to groom someone's beard. (He promptly ignored it and asked you if you'd like your eggs sunny side up for today.)

He's not the type to do self-care often. But seeing that you're eager to take care of him, he's also not the type to refuse it.

"Do you still want me to shave your... uh, situation?" You sound hesitant. He thinks it misplaced.

Gallagher chuckles. "You're calling it a situation?" The hesitance slowly melts into annoyance, an affectionate roll of your eyes your response to his question. "That's a joke if I haven't heard one."

However, that eye roll doesn't prompt you into continuing. He lifts a hand to your cheek, caressing it. "I didn't say stop, did I?"

You huff, despite the heating of your cheeks, and continue. Gallagher thinks this is the best chance to stare, watching you with fondness swirling in his chest.

Sure, this can be a tradition between the both of you.

Love that stupid hairbrushing scene where Padme pretends to brush her curly hair. It's so doll-like, but the doll she's playing with is herself. Putting on a performance for her husband, but really acting out a fantasy for herself.

🐟 Fishuary 2024 Day Two: Salmonid 🐟

The humble (and hungry) rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss! I wanted to draw one as I will be conducting research on rainbow trout during this year, no doubt I will get very familiar with them :]

I also have a version without the thick outline. I don't usually do it (because usually I draw linelessly), which way looks better?
