I've been kinda busy working on my own short rn, but I also know if I rant about that new Hellboy trailer on my IG or somewhere no one's gomna see it so... enjoy this brief interlude where I defend the shit out of the new Hellboy (WHICH IS NOT OUT AT THE TIME I'M WRITING THIS IF IT ACTUALLY SUCKS I WILL GLADLY ADMIT IT)

When I first heard this was happening, I got so excited. Folk horror Hellboy period piece set in rural Appalachia? Are you fucking kidding me? How can anyone hate on that? And the obvious answer is nostalgia. The less obvious answer is the trailer. Let's talk about it.

Would I love to see GDT's Hellboy 3? OF FUCKING COURSE. I adore GDT, I love all the cast members individually, and I do really like those movies. However, as far as I can tell the rights have changed hands, which makes that exponentially more difficult. Additionally, it's 2024. Unfortunately, MCU brainrot has killed any chance of a real dark superhero film getting a blockbuster budget. Maybe a miniseries at best. More importantly, as he's become more influential in the horror community and more adverserial about the "bastards with money," GDT also isn't getting a blockbuster budget anytime soon. And to get all those people on board, and make another film on the scale of the first two, you'd need a strong budget. And to be completely honest, I think it would bomb. I think it's slightly too niche of an audience. Do I care about that? Obviously not. I just directed my first short film and I'm out $250 easily. I'll never see a penny of that. Many of my favorite feature films were made the same way. Unfortunately, studios care just a little bit about that. And especially with massive failure of Hellboy 2019 we should consider ourselves lucky anyone wants to touch the property right now. Also I mean... Ron Perlman's old. Sorry. That's a lot of makeup and a fair amount of action. Not saying he *can't* do it obviously, just saying it'll be harder.

Now that the trailer's out, I also wanna discuss it. It sucks. I hate the editing so deeply. It's the most generic horror shit imaginable. However, I pretty much liked what I saw in the trailer. If it nails the tone I think it's gonna be good. And for what it's worth I also strongly disliked the marketing for I Saw the TV Glow which is easily my favorite film of the year. Also I'm really glad Jack Kesy isn't just doing Ron Perlman again. David Harbour relied way too heavily on that performance. I'm also glad he has more normal proportions, and his voice isn't so deep and gravelly. Obviously Hellboy has some muscle, but nothing about Mignola's art style ever indicated to me that he'd be fuckin huge and I don't think the Perlman/Harbour voice would really suit the lankier Hellboy.

Listen, I'm willing to be wrong. If it actually sucks as bad as everyone thinks it's going to, I'll own up. But some of y'all are in serious denial about what Hellboy's options are in the current climate. I'll take a million of these over an insufferable fucking Deadpool rip-off because no one else knows how/wants to make a different R rated superhero film. Unfortunately, that'd probably be what would make money and maybe even shut up some of the whiny fanboys. "Oh man I really wish GDT did Hellboy 3 but this one felt like a Rick & Morty episode woah epic!" At the risk of continuing to argue with a guy I just invented, I'm gonna stop now. Point made.

[weaselbeaselpants]

Hazbin/Helluva are hated for the exact same reason they’re loved:

Before I begin I need to repeat something and that’s that you please, kindly, DO NOT BOTHER ANYONE WORKING ON THE SHOW WITH THIS POST. I don’t care if you’re a fan looking for their opinion or a “critic” looking for their response. THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING HARD, THIS IS NOT A CALL OUT POST IT’S JUST FAN DRIVEL LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE OKAY?!?!?

okey

Here are the facts of the matter:

Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss are independently produced cartoons made by a bunch of people juuuuust breaking in on the animation market, and/or internet famous artists having fun with the world they’re producing. The creator, like her style or not, is inspired and VERY passionate about what she likes and what she wants. Everyone working on the show is really into it and their work. It’s such a self-made fandom it was technically a fandom first and a product second. Fans feel like they (and technically do) have a say in how the show should be run and what the characters should be.

It is popular enough to attract attention online but not overblown by the mainstream media.

On the positive side all those things mean:

It’s crew is tight-nit and very passionate + stick up for each other and their projects. It’s basically a giant colab. Whether they were preexisting fans/friends of Viv, the people working on it got to work on something they liked and with people they liked.

The animation community is super pumped and excited for them be they fans of the animators or just people who like cartoons and monsters and stuff. They’re positively skeptical and in on the hype cause they want to see more fluid adult animation and more indie projects take off (also 2D)!

It’s fandom LOVES the characters, concept, and story. They are more invested in what the characters could be rather than what they actually are, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing; to love something based on the concepts presented and use it to make AUs, hypotheticals and what not. Cringe all you want at the Onceler fandom (you can) but it is impressive to make all that material from so little!

They’re both edgy and insensitive based on their subject matter alone. And yet, the creators and fans DO intend for the show to be a net-positive: there IS supposed to a be representational aspect to it’s design and it’s audience. Brandon Rogers, the modern John Waters, is a pure shock-humor artist; an example of the sincere but not TOO serious risque nature these shows should have, and BOTH attract a pretty happy and excitable LGBTQ fanbase who hate bigotry.

The creators directly talking with fans means there’s again a sense of togetherness to the whole production. That the creators tell people to ship what they want BUT NOT TO BULLY is really cool + important.

As an aside, they can only say so much and Viv is at this point not 100% of Hazbin or Helluva’s creation. It’s other people speaking for or with it now. Neither pilot is a singular idea and musing of one person anymore, they are stand alone products and they are not immune from critique or favoritism.

Buuuuuuut, there’s a flipside to these things as well:

Beyond NDAs (as an aside, a lot of productions have these I don’t think it’s amoral that Viv had this) the crew is tight. When they hear how a site that they’ve heard through the grabevine hosted the guy who sent Viv rape porn*, even if the critique is from a user who hates that guy, THEY AREN’T GONNA HEAR THEM OUT. And they shouldn’t. They are tired and don’t want to be involved, at best (or want to move on from past drama) and biased towards Viv, at worst. They stick out for each other in the business and also who are you gonna stan if you were in their shoes? A person you don’t know on a forum you’ve seen post creepy shit OR your friend who paid you, promos you, talks to you and you like to work with?

Ask yourself honestly what you would do if someone said:

“hey I’m from [4chan/Kiwi, ED, Tapatalk, Reddit, ect]. I’m sorry for what happened but just so you know-”

I so get the crew just straight up blocking on sight. I don’t CONDONE it, but in a postGamerGate world I understand it.

AND when it comes to accusations made against the VAs, a producer, or one of the artists, and ESPECIALLY the creator - people are gonna just handwave it away convinced, it’s just whining or has alterier motives + again, friends stick together and choose sides...like Brock Baker’s :B

It’s popular so it’s gonna get love and hate. I know critics are not gonna like to hear the later, but it is true. It feels cathartic to dunk on a property when fans are crazy and you feel it’s overrated/bad. People feel good dunking on this mishandled, problematic clusterfugg cause they know not as many people are watching and unironically liking, say, Alfred Alfer ----- (please don’t look that or Emily Youcis up. Here’s the tvtropes page. Do not look beyond this point PLEASE)

Likewise, the clout surrounding the show is biased and detracted form being too mean as well. Everyone can tell there’s a kind of toxic mess under the covers but no one wants to deep dive or prod the details of something people are working on and liking so much, especially not when the loudest detractors are asshats like P.K. Russel.

A lot of merch has been sold and produced WELL BEFORE the rest of the shows or the finalized series/designs have been laid out. If nothing comes of either show it will be bad having all this merch hyping something that doesn’t exist. If it does but is so radically different than the vision in Viv’s and fan’s heads (these are both PILOTS, I’ll remind you) it’s gonna disappoint. I just know it.

People were writing Hazbin fanfics and AUs before the pilot was dropped and have made sequels to both before we have even a clear picture of what the ending is gonna be. People are in love and writing for a franchise they don’t know. They know the idea of it and the version of it in their head, but they don’t really know it.

The fandom can not take criticism. This is bad. Everyone is a critic and inside every critic is a nerdooo ~ ((critics do have fandoms and everyone will like something problematic for reasons)) Fans want to criticize but they’re scared of being ostracized from the fandom and kicked off of forums/servers, which has happened to two underage fans already. **

The fandom feels entitled to their ideas and to the creators’ attention. If it were any other fandom it is sooper cool that creators allow people to ship as they please, but not one that’s currently still in development and whose finalized characters haven’t been figured out. The babies have been sent into the battle field at only a few months old alongside veteran ship/canon/entitled cartoon fandoms like Steven Universe and Rick and Morty. It’s like the scene from mother! where the crowd dismembers and eats the baby.

Viv and has a serious influence on these people so even when her and a bunch of fans/artists are just gabbing about stupid memes on twitter, this invites a slew of onlookers to attack these people***. Despite the influence you can have or say to stop this behavior, it’s waaaay harder to put a stop to it than just saying “hey guys be nice” (Anyone else remember the inner-drama of Brony fandom? Like chuds would even take the word of the AskMolestiaMod to heart when their one goal was to take down the dreaded Essjaydoublewes that threatened their rape jokes).

Fans also have no boundaries. Sea also; Lincar Rox.

Being a netpositive doesn’t mean everything you say or do is devoid of critique. If you make vulgar/shocking adult content it will have fans and it will have detractors regardless of the positive intent. As I’ve said earlier, the problem with Viv’s works isn’t really the content but the context and the presentation. You can say Angel Dust is an inspiring character all you want. To some people that’s absolutely true but that does NOT absolve the fact that the it’s a cis woman writing and glamorizing an abused crossdressing gay man. People are gonna be offended and the creator needs tougher skin about this be it satire, parody, or drama.

*back when they were fixated on Zoophobia, there was a guy on Bad Webcomics Wiki/Tapatalk for the comic who posted art of Viv’s decapitated head getting raped by Angel Dust as a “joke”. Oh! and he also took the complaints the wiki had and made Viv and ED page. The rest of the forum was not happy but yeah that happened. The forum itself is the same as any reddit thread and NOT a hate site, but yeah um Viv has every right to quit after that, sorry.

The evidence is linked here in this google doc, which is why I linked it. (tbh I sympathize with the author but I don’t think it’s their place to say when Viv should have let the world known about the harassment porn )

**the underage fans who were bullied/blocked/demonized by creators are frootrollup1, for doing redesigned fan art, and StarVader from the Tapatalk/BWW forums, who was targeted and blamed by fans for Lincar’s shit. I’m not linking them for fear of their safety.

***The meme and twitter thread that went off the rails is one you’ll have to scroll down a bit through @gamergirluprising‘s post to see.

Okay that’s all.

Hey! I lost a few hours of sleep paging through your entire backlog of R&M comics - although of course 'lost' is a misnomer because it implies that that time was in some way wasted which is most certainly not the case - and I need to say thanks and wow. Mostly the latter. There's a notable improvement not just in your art but in things like the pacing and emotion of the comics and it's kind of inspiring. You made me want to get serious with drawing again. Also cry. A bit. Probably eyestrain.

YES. Please preach the fact that she is a Morty! It’s why I write her like a Morty! haha omg sorry for making you stay up! xD But it was worth it! Your whole “rant” is really sweet! Thank you so much for sending me this! :) 

[kramzo]

Well, here comes a lil post about NärCon Summer 2017! It was a pretty decent convention and I had fun. I wouldn’t have called it the best con ever but neither would I call it the worst con ever! It was a lot of 50/50 moments for me. Some things were really awesome, and some were kind of ‘meeeh’. I know, I make it sound like I had a bad time but I assure you: I had fun, too! Tons of fun!

I shared a room at the convention with @salamancers, @velka-art, @saffronbunbaker, @bortbyting and pancake, who’s tumblr I am yet to know by heart (you can purchase private sleeping quarters, which is like, a classroom shared as a makeshift sleeping area for you and your friends, since the con is held at a university).

I tried good food, had fun photo shoots together with friends (although we’ve been going to cons together for a couple of years, this is the first con we’ve ever taken serious photo shoots of our cosplays together!), and best of all: I met a long lost convention buddy that I haven’t seen or heard from since like, 2012! I thought they had stopped going to cons altogether, but joke’s on me, seems as if they’re back and kicking! And second best of all: This year I got the pleasure to meet Ellen McLain and John Patrick Lowrie (I missed out 2014 when they were at the con)! It really was a magical moment. I even got a hug from Ellen and gave her a drawing I had made, and she signed another drawing I had made for me to keep (Sorry, there’s no pic of that r/n, might post it later though ;v;)!

Apart from that, I went to a few meet ups that I stayed at for varying lengths of time because partially some were kind of “meh” and some we just didn’t feel like staying for too long or didn’t feel like we had time.

The only thing I’m bummed about is that I didn’t find enough Rick and Morty-cosplayers or fans. Although some stayed to chat with me when I cosplayed Rick, there wasn’t really any real hangouts with them. Next year though! Next year, I’ll arrange a RaM-meetup myself!

I hope I might be able to go to NC Winter at some point, as well as smaller cons! I miss the feeling of conventions all year around while waiting for NCS. It’s really the only place where I feel sociable and accepted and get to hang out with my friends. Five days out of 365 feels very little, yanno?

So, that’s the report of this year’s NärCon Summer I got for you guys.  Hope you enjoyed reading my babbling about this.

Over and out,

Kramzo

How do you see yourself in 10 years? I see myself well educated with a job I enjoy and travelling around the world with friends/SO

Who are you? I’m just an average 19yo cunt who spends his time either at work or in front of the PC (yeah, yeah no-lifer with no friends), an odd bird who is either goofy or dead serious, but also a highly motivated person to whom yo can always come and ask for help or assign a task, cuz i like helping people and getting sh*t done. Also I have my weird ways of expressing myself by using analogies for example (you may have noticed already)

What do you want to be remembered for? I wanna be remembered as an example of kindness and how regardless of all the sh*t life throws at you it’s possible to remain kind and loving. I want to teach my close friends that you should talk without offending (intentionally), listen without judging, help without expecting anything in return, because I still believe in the good side that people claim is gone. I was saved from a possible suicide by a person who was my torch when everything around me was dark, who found me when I was lost, who reached for me and pulled me up. That saved me from applying a permanent solution to a temporary problem, so now I want to give back to the people, I believe that a life lost to depression is a life time full of missed opportunities and that’s why I want to teach people to be careful with their words and actions and be helpful, because you might never know… you CAN be the force that changes someone’s perspective on life for the better.

What is your strongest emotion? Eagerness 

Questions I would like to add and my answers to them:

What do you seek in life? Adventures, knowledge and friendship

What quality about yourself do you like the most? The ability to remain positive in almost every situation and joking about my mishaps later

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Night owl. definitely.

What is your favorite quote? “Ideas are peaceful, history is violent”  - Don “Wardaddy” Collier (Fury), 

“A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinion of the sheep” - Tywin Lannister 

Seaside vacation or vacation in the mountain? Prefer the mountain because the air is fresher and it’s quiet up there

I want to be completely serious for a moment. I draw sad and angst art all the time, so not a lot of art can make me cry, but this made me bawl. This is such a beautiful tribute to the beautiful ideas that we’ve created together. I’m actually tearing up again while writing this because I’m so overcome with emotion right now. You are such a beautiful artist and I’m so glad that I came onto Tumblr, because if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have met you, @dorklyevil

Right, I’m sorry I’ll stop being so sappy now. Lonely Rick is not alone anymore, he’s found company in the open arms of Patch, Scar and Bucky. Lonely is much older than a regular Rick, he’s about 75-80 and we imagine that their friendship is full, but short lived as he passes in Patch’s arms at the age of 85.

The Scarpatch family made him feel at peace in the last few years of his life, so he didn’t pass in any pain. He went in peace and love, and with the hope that he would meet his morty again on the other side.

‘I hope my passing doesn’t leave a black mark on this lovely bright family.’

Patch’s eulogy

me and @u-n-l-i-g-h-t thought of this little idea where the scarpatch fam grew very close with lonely rick, and spent time with him up to the remainder of his days. Patch was the very first shoulder he leaned on, up until his last.

So here, have his eulogy to Lonely’s passing.

November 25, 2017. Vienna, Austria.

There’s really no missing the Pestsäule. The 60-foot baroque monstrosity juts up out of the center of the Graben like an ornate middle finger to God. It’s actually emperor Leopold I delivering on his side of one of those pleading prayer bargains we’ve all done. Leo’s was “Please, let the plague stop. I swear I’ll build you a really dope art phallus right in the middle of the city, just stop killing everyone.”

The Plague Column is also called the Trinity Column due to its three sides, each one presumably representing some aspect of the tripartite God.

About a block away is the Stock im Eisen, or staff in iron. That’s misleading, it’s not a staff, it’s a tree trunk full of nails, kept in a tube that makes it totally immune to photography.

I did what I could. Now, you might be asking, “Why is there a protected chunk of tree, full of nails, on a street corner in Vienna?” Good question. I’d love to answer it, but it doesn’t seem like anyone can. Every website has a different interpretation of the Stock im Eisen‘s history, and the locals who were attempting to explain its significance to their visiting friends were telling conflicting stories.

Here’s what I’ve pieced together. In the Middle Ages, nail trees (Nagelbäume) were used by craftsmen, or anyone else with nails, for good luck. This particular nail tree had something to do with the Devil. There’s a ballet about it by Pasquale Borri, so if anyone more sophisticated than me can check that out and report back, I’d appreciate it.

There was a locksmith who wanted to marry his master’s daughter, or maybe he just wanted to be the greatest locksmith who ever lived. Dude shot for the stars. So he calls Mephistopheles out of Prague, who shows up on a FlixBus a few hours later. The locksmith sells his soul in exchange for just a really, fuckin’, top-notch padlock. It’s amazing. He puts that on the tree and issues challenges to either his master in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage, or to all the locksmiths of the world in exchange for World Locksmithing Supremacy. Since the Devil made the lock, nobody could crack it, and he lived happily ever after until he burnt in Hell. The tree remains with a lock on it to this day, and also full of nails, for some reason.

This is confirmed bullshit. They looked into the padlock and it’s empty, there’s no tumblers or anything in there. It would pop right open. Maybe that’s why the whole thing’s behind the bulletproof glass.

Well, that was most of center city, barring museums and palaces. I sidled all the way across town to the Freud Museum.

  I thought it was interesting, but Freud was what got me through college. I’d read the bulk of his debunked wackadoo theories long before I got “higher educated”, and since every class in undergrad wanted to beat both Freudian and Pavlovian dead horses as much as possible, I got to recycle the same paper, with subtle stylistic changes, something like ten times.

My favorite, bar none, was a History and Systems project where we were required to adopt the persona of our chosen theorist and have an open debate with the rest of the class. We got extra credit for accents, props, and convincing portrayal. I shaved my scruff into an approximation of his beard and showed up to class with a grape White Owl in my mouth and a baggie full of flour smeared around my nose. The only Austrian accent I’d ever heard at that point was the Terminator’s, so that was how Freud talked. I sat next to B.F. Skinner, as portrayed by a gorgeous little ghoul with dichromatic eyes, and we became a vitriolic tempest of condescending reductionism, laying waste to anyone fool enough to have chosen a humanistic or positive psychologist. The Carl Rogers surrogate got the worst flaying. I think he might still be institutionalized.

speaking of my college

hoo i heard that

Siggy’s personal necromancy cabinet. easily puts mine to shame, but the museum did keep repeating that his three great passions were “traveling, smoking, and collecting”

I laughed so hard and so inappropriately at that adorable picture of Carl Jung. Look at him go! With his little hat, and his little disapproving frown!

I love Jung, I think his work is interesting, if convoluted, arcanist rambling, but I wasn’t prepared for this. From here on out, I’m never gonna be able to think of Freud and Jung as anything but Germanic Rick and Morty.

On my way back to the hostel, I located the only grocery store in Vienna (I’d been looking) and picked up a box of juice brand named “Munter und Aktiv”. Well, I got half of that. I asked Google Translate and it said Munter means “blithely”. I recognized this as impossible. I activated my German field agent and she told me it’s a mixture between happy and awake and active. Well, we already have active. I asked the lady at the hostel desk, planning on averaging all these translations into one definitive Munter.

“It is like waking up with coffee in the morning,” she said. “Like chipper.”

“All right, thank you.”

She asked me if I still had my key card. I said I did.

“Good work,” she told me. She seemed serious, but she may have just been possessed of the Wiener Grant.

“Do people lose them a lot? Is that a big problem here?” I asked, blithely. Munterly.

“No, no problem. We don’t have problems here,” she said, then she honest to God slapped the table and shouted in the thickest, most Germanic accent I’ve ever heard, “VE HAVE ZOLUTIONS!”

She laughed after and clarified that she was just kidding, but I was deer-in-the-headlights frozen. One of those disbelieving grins, you know? When what’s going on… can’t be what’s actually going on.

I know we have a sad little Nazi party movement in America, but realistically that’s like 40 lonely dudes with bad haircuts who get way too much media coverage. In much of Europe, they seem mighty sorry for World War II. The Mahnmal in the heart of Vienna is a good indicator, but there’s more going on than monuments, culturally. The aforementioned German girl is currently crossing eastern Europe and self-inflicting a sort of guilt tour (or Schuldtour). Warsaw and Auschwitz, that I’m aware of. Die Madchen ist haunted.

(As a quick aside, I looked up the German word for ‘haunted’, and, unbelievably, it is spukt. Go ahead. Say it out loud. Spukt. This fuckin’ language, man.)

In the Athens flea market, after divulging her nationality to an antique dealer for reasons I will never understand, he rolled out a bunch of old Nazi medals.

“You want?”

She literally backpedaled, shielding her face like a tall, rigid vampire from an iron cross. But she went on to tell me that there are people back in Germany — in America, we’d call them hicks — that love that kind of thing.

The modern nationalism necessary to breed either sentiment is lost on me, but I don’t think that’s because I’m an American. I’m just not much of a joiner.

A final, weird note, and the last Hitler point I plan on making: the Indian guy told me that Hitler is sort of fondly remembered in India and China. In the course of the war, Germany did a lot of damage to Great Britain, and India is still carrying a pretty understandable grudge against their former imperial taskmasters.

I sat down and collected myself until my chronic and intractable antsiness returned, then I figured I’d go check out the craft beer bar half a mile away. I hadn’t eaten in six or seven hours, so that seemed like the ideal time. They had a Bier dem Wochen flight for the cost of a regular half-pint, so I got that. They brought me 4 beers, all from Anchor Brewing, which I learned from a hipster’s t-shirt is in San Francisco.

welp

The Steam beer must be called that because that’s what it tasted like. The stout was palatable, in a cream soda kind of way. I downed it and ordered a local imperial stout called Der Schnittenfahrt from a company called Brauwork. Hilarious though that may sound, it means “cut drive”, and washing down a flight with it on an empty stomach was perhaps ill advised.

“schnittenfahrt” tho

The bar was very excited about rugby. Ireland vs Argentina. I didn’t know who they were rooting for, but they were rooting for them with all their heart. I went to the bathroom and laughed so hard I scared a dude.

now that’s opulence

That was enough for one night. I had a bus to catch the next morning. I stumbled back to my hostel and passed out. I slept like a rock, except for at around 3 AM when I was awake just long enough to see the dude in the opposing bunk sit up like a mummy, slam his face into the wood support of the bunk over him, and release a long, low-pitched, closed-mouthed moan. It was sort of like a cow mooing, but in slow motion. Absolutely fantastic.

The next morning I threw all my stuff into my bag and wrote in the kitchen until my Brazilian DJ friend rejoined me, looking much worse for wear.

“Bunch of bastards,” he told me out of nowhere.

“Huh?”

“The club I played at,” he spat. “Didn’t pay me a DIME. Bastards. Didn’t even give me free drinks. I had four beers, and they charged me.”

I shook my head. “Animals. Well, chalk it up to experience, I guess.”

He made a vague allusion to being all about peace and love. I shook his hand, wished him well, and headed for the door.

Oh, right. The bus was to Bratislava, and hoo boy, do I got some stories for tomorrow.

    heard yo mama in the movies

Love,

The Bastard

Vienna: Phallic Fixations November 25, 2017. Vienna, Austria. There's really no missing the Pestsäule. The 60-foot baroque monstrosity juts up out of the center of the Graben like an ornate middle finger to God.
