hot opinionated take but i swear to god the 'subversion' of "demeter was an overbearing mom who persephone ran away from actually!" in H x P fics is about as 'original' as public domain cartoon characters for kids getting turned into edgy jumpscare horror fics

like do you REALLY think you're being original or are you maybe just reaching for the lowest hanging fruit

and that's not me saying you can't do it, because obv do what you want (and it'll get whatever reception it gets by extension) but it's not "subversion" if every person ever jumps to that same cookie cutter trope in an attempt to be 'original and subversive' while not doing anything new with it IMO

Something tells me that if ever they decide to animate “The Crow of Paradise/The Paradise of a Crow”, this could be made into a film.

Or a live action?

I am on the first pages and I am seeing à la Wong Kar Wai scenes on my head with a young-ish Takuya Kimura as Hajime Yasuhara. (Okay, probably i am still holding on to his Howl voice, but he’s not only that.)

When it comes to manga adaptation, however, Natsumi Matsuzaki admitted that adapting it to manga is a challenge.

Matsuzaki : "The Crow of Paradise" came out right after we started the comic version of "Master"... I didn't know anything about the content of (Paradise), so after reading it, I thought, "I've gotten myself into something serious."

[Note: "The Crow of Paradise" is the first book in the second part of the Yatagarasu series, released in September 2020.]

… I was reading it at a café in Ikebukuro, and as soon as I finished reading it, I called (Abe-san) over... Abe was like, "Oh no, I've been called out!" (laughs). So, when I went to meet her, she looked at me with sparkling eyes as if to complain, and I thought, "Oh, good. It seems like 'The Crow of Paradise' will be okay..." (laughs).

Matsuzaki: But after that came out, and then the next one, 'The Crows of Remembrance,' I started to think, "This is getting difficult to adapt into a comic..." Is that so...?

…

Abe: From the perspective of the original author, this work is part of a series, so there is an overarching theme for the entire series. However, if you focus solely on that, each individual work might end up being incomplete.

Matsuzaki : That's right. It becomes blurred... The theme is too large.

Abe: That's why I create "major themes," "medium themes," and "minor themes." For a standalone piece, I focus only within that piece. For a main work, I focus only within that main work, and I resolve the "minor themes." But when you connect them all, a larger theme emerges... It's like creating a "mosaic picture."

Matsuzaki: But I haven't been told what the picture will look like. I try not to ask about the theme of a standalone piece, the theme of a main work, or the themes going forward. Instead, I interpret the words and events written in the current original work myself and try to create a coherent narrative.

(This q&a talk is included on the fourth volume of the manga.)

Sometimes I think abt Obey Me and there’s this gnawing feeling deep in my chest because of how so much of the story/characters were repeatedly flattened. There’s so much potential and I (along with so many others) have such a deep attachment to the characters and the world building; it’s just that the execution missed the mark sometimes and a cash grab like NB is. Frankly devastating to me conceptually. Have been contemplating opening it and trying it out but ultimately it makes me too sad every time. I’m terrible with change though, so maybe I’m just biased.

Okay. Ten characters, ten fandoms, no particular order. I’m including some minor hyperfixations in this and doubles (because it’d be criminal to have one without the other, but there we go:

1. wendell (Wendell and wild)

2. Sir Lionel Frost ( Missing Link)

3. Ercole Visconti ( Pixar Luca)

4. Ernesto de La Cruz ( Coco)

5. Barley Lightfoot (Onward)

6.Nassor (frankenweenie)

7.Red Guy ( dhmis)

8. Popee (Popee the performer)

9. Cleo de Nile ( Monster High)

10. Ahkmenrah (night at the museum)

im looking forward to what homestar runner has for halloween even though it doesn't seem like they've had a solid idea since mr poofers must die

[bardockarts]

no one ever said i couldnt do OCs, so wolfhowler gets a long-deserved redesign into the warhammerverse as a deathmark

mainly because there are like two female necrons neither of which have official appearances/designs

[ink--theory]

was gonna wait til I was done posting to start tagging for organization purposes but then I realized it's prolly gonna take me AGES to properly tag everything once i'm done so guess i'm doing now :[

[eggmeralda]

this is worded badly but let's just say for example in the past 10 years, do you remember each day clearly or is it all just a blur? or inbetween

[evansbby]

I never got cramps for the first 10 years of my period and my dr just told me that meant my period was healthy (I get them now thanks to pcos 🙃)

See that’s the thing, i have pcos too and some girls with pcos get super painful periods but i just do not…
