it's so funny trying to talk to people about Speed Racer (2008), because it's like...what if there was a guy who drove a car so well that he defeated capitalism

homest[ar/uck] posting. this was meant to be supplementary to the gerome comic as him 'explaining the joke' but i uhhhhhh forgot.

i'm not much for crossovers in the the traditional sense, but it IS one of my favorite character exploration exercises to just go like 'if x media existed in this universe, who would and would not be a fan of it?'. and these ones are pretty notorious and always very fun to mess with for that and so here we are

I feel like we are all sleeping on the fan fiction potential given to us from Deadpool and Wolverine using their bodies to make a circuit with matter and anti-matter

Who knows what that could do to a person, you could write a fic where that caused anything your heart could think up.

It’s interesting to watch people on this app get on this super weird moral high ground when discussing SJM/acotar. Like these people will use the anti tags, knowing full well that the people who follow the anti tags will see their post and debate with them, and then cry victim and say antis need to go outside and touch grass or something similar.

Like babes. Is this your first deep dive into fandom? Discourse within a fandom is super normal. You’re not special because you agree with everything SJM writes. Why y’all being weird?

I swear. Some of y’all never would have survived the early days of tumblr frfr.

nothing worse than taking a test where the options clearly have not been excruciatingly thought out and pondered by the author

Irwin,

I’m probably the last person you want to hear from. You’re also probably wondering how I got your email address—blame Ken. I know how you are so I’ll get straight to the point. I’ve come across a lucrative deal that I just can’t ignore, and I need you. I need you for one last job.

Even though we’ve ignored each other for— God knows how long— I just had to reach out because you’re the only one I trust. Should you choose to accept this job, I’ll split everything down the middle and I swear this’ll be the last time that you’ll have to protect me.

-Ted

P.s. If all goes well, I’d love nothing more than to catch up. I’ve missed you. There is so much that I need to tell you.

I havent been able to work on art as much since I'm still kind of in covid recovery, so have some old Creature Feature fan art I found from 2009 ... back before I did digital art at all really lmao

When you finally decide to reread one of your old fanfictions from like 17 years ago and find a typo that was there the whole time that sort of ruins the flow of the story for a grinding halt of a second and no one ever saw it, including you

I'm not gonna lie, Ao3 being down all day feels a lot like the burning of the Library of Alexandria

poisoned book investigation update: i reached the part of queen margot that deals with the poisoned book and this only made me more convinced that this is indeed. what happened. back in 2010. because 1) i know my mother well and therefore know she would kin catherine de' medici (yes yes i know. i know. what can i say. she's insane. it's a family tradition) 2) in the novel, the book was poisoned by catherine herself (she conceived and carried out both the scheme and the execution herself), and meant to kill her political enemy and son-in-law (but ended up poisoning (and killing) her own son). the exact method of course would be unsuitable for my own mother to imitate as it is the exact same method used in the name of the rose (possibly where umberto eco got the inspiration from, actually?), therefore as i mentioned earlier impossible to recreate with the kind of paper my copy of the three musketeers was printed on. but. yeah. not that i had many doubts at this point anymore but this is really. convincing evidence. psychologically speaking.

like for the. catherine de' medici kin part:

my mother always loved her as a historical figure. we did visit a lot of historical castles and museums and all when i was a kid and she always had a marked preference for 1) the renaissance era and history 2) the medici family 3) catherine de' medici specifically. she admired her cunning and force of spirit and ambition and influence. #1 girlboss supporter (she did not support the. you know. religious massacres tho. she didn't think catherine was a great figure to emulate or whatever. but she admired her nonetheless)

as i've mentioned before, my mother has always been a wannabe italian. she's especially fond of the italian renaissance and in particular florence and its history. in the novel the fact catherine de' medici is florentine is a key part of her characterization

physically there seems to be a similarity? dumas doesn't actually describe his characters' appearance much, but from the few elements we get, it seems to fit (= pale, grey(?) eyes with a cold and cunning look, short and stout but pretty, white hands (that she takes great care of), short and stout (fat?) stature in general, blonde hair, small lips, imposing presence that makes other people immediately fall in line & scares them (she was very proud of that)). it's not much but knowing her she would jump to conclusions and want to really. Be Like Her

sorry i know how this sounds i KNOW you don't have to believe me but i swear this is all true. inherited insanity and all that. the true Drow Ass Family

This is so unimportant but I keep thinking about that post from a few days ago that was basically like "reblog if hamilton wasn't your first musical" and like 1) i keep thinking of musicals I'd listened to before that even came out (I had two knee jerk reaction ones but i'm up to like seven now) and 2) I STILL HAVEN'T LISTENED TO HAMILTON so that number can just keep going infinitely up

and also 3) I feel like there were at least a few pretty big movie musicals before hamilton. am I just that old?
