being an adult means we can buy or make as much self-indulgent shit (as we can afford) and unironically have trinkets of our fave things cause our teen years was bullied for liking things and hiding/denying we were ever neurodivergent to the point of suicide. sucks for anyone that thinks its weird cringe but I'm going to try and allow myself to love myself in little ways now

Batman: That's enough, Riddler! Time to end this!

Riddler: Good luck, Batman! All the cards are in my hand!

Batman: Uh, Eddie, that's not exactly how you win.

Batman, putting down a card: Anyways, Uno....

Riddler, throwing his cards on the table: GODDAMMIT!

Anytime Tails visits Sonic and he’s asleep, Tails tries to see how many coins he can stack on Sonic before he wakes up. His record is 3,658.

Don’t ask where he got all of those coins.

@ohai-there !!! Official bird art tutorial! Only it's really quick and messy. And filmed upside down and at an awkward angle. And also at almost 5am. And also you were probably only joking when you asked but like. Ehe.

Also ohai why are u even saying that as even a joke your art is great I was just staring at it some the other day ? What kinda crack are you smoking over there buddy?

I use the gouche brush for shading only, just bc I like it's color. You can totally apply what I talked about with literally any other brush when it comes to shading and blending n stuff. I like to use 2 other brushes for lines, either 6pencil soft and uhh. Another one I kind of forgot the name of and also forgot to bookmark and also it's label is in Japanese so I dont really know how to look it up, oops !

I use clip studio paint to draw

Game night with the gals! 🎩💜✨

(extras and rambling below)

This piece is a continuation of a drawing I did for Stickmintober in 2022

My idea of a Toppats Girl's Night consists of all of the (known) Toppat gals meeting up in Orion Lounge and hanging out together.

At one table Miss Demeanor, The Witch, Cool Katie and Matilda Ivy sit and chat (which is what I drew for 2022).

At the other table Hat Girl, Earrings, Toppats Recruit Ellie, and Gremlin play UNO (which I drew this year)

And finally, Carol Cross and Joan Scone play pool at the pool table across the room. I have not gotten around to drawing this yet, but I hope to someday ^^'

Also I meant to post this here like a week ago but idk posting the same thing to multiple social media platforms is a lil tedious tbh and I'm still not used to this place so .w.'

seeing a bunch of yugitubers finally white knuckling teeth clenching admitting that links were actively detrimental for the game and that pendulums were not the core issue is so satisfying, actually

I could see Zip and Zug getting into a lot of trouble after the events of Warrior as their (in)actions cost the Z-Stacks the rock contract. Though the others probably assumed that it was Zug's idea, I can imagine that both got equal blame from Captain Zero and didn't let Zip explain that he'd wanted to help. After finding no chance with his captain or his uncle Zorran, Zip found someone on his team who was willing to listen to his side of the story and let him vent - Zebedee.

It's interesting that Zebedee and Zip never had any interaction in the series, so their relationship is a blank canvas for the fandom. I can see Zeb being the one who would actually acknowledge that Zip was held back by Zug and would try to encourage him where he could to be his own tug. I have so much to say about how I think they would interact in both the show Canon and my AU.

mulder not owning a bed is such a minor character detail that’s encompassing of practically the entirety of who he is, which is so crazy honestly

David Simmons, “There’s a ton of lore on unicorns too”: Postmodernist Micro-Narratives and Supernatural in TV Goes to Hell: an Unofficial Roadmap of Supernatural

started writing this mostly as a reflection on the above chapter from TV Goes to Hell. the show from its initial outset is based around a particular formula. the brothers often rely on a postmodern patchwork of stories to 'solve' their monster-of-the-week. on this show, everything can be real all together, all at once: from alternate myths and histories, to movie monsters, to urban legends, cultural gods, and folk tales. this cultural melange gets 'tamed' through the frame of the show's monster-of-the-week format itself, where everything gets solved to fit a singular narrative: identify the monster, find a way to defeat it, and successfully eliminate it (there are rare exceptions to this formula: bugs is the standout)

there's a tension between the characters' research, drawing from unofficial sources, local legends and civilian accounts versus the show's format demanding, in a sense, that fear of the unknown (really a fear of difference) be conquered through the simplified logic of its formula. unofficial sources and beliefs become incorporated into an official narrative, so to speak. they gain legitimacy and authority through our heroes use of them, not the other way around. magic is evil when a witch uses it, but somehow the rituals and spellwork our heroes use to defeat them don't count. you feel me. and that same logic applies to what monsters count as real and what doesn't. on this show, everything becomes real when our protagonists are able to see it and kill it.

(1.01, 'Pilot')

so a common show critique i see tends to separate the more episodic plots of the early seasons (1-3) from the more serialised grand epic narratives of 4-5 onwards. well my argument is this - nah, that impulse was there from the start! the mystery of the show was always going to dissipate, because explaining away the mystery was always a part of its initial premise. the concept that - 'the monster under your bed is no longer scary when you can name what it is and learn how to kill it' - turns into -> a fear of death? heaven and hell and everything else in between are now real, tangible places! fear over external, powerful forces meddling in your lives? demons, angels, leviathans, god himself! now all real and tangible beings! the air of horror and mystery shrouding s1-2 was never gonna last. the murky horror was always a means to a defeatable end.

(5.19, 'Hammer of the Gods')

anyways. there's an obvious mythological hierarchy in this series and it's very funny to me. all gods and spirits and monsters, even the ones predating christian mythology, fall under its ruling (white, judeo-christian) narrative authority. the postmodern embrace of multiple narratives is a ruse. all incompatible things lead to a universal truth. the show doesn't dispell the existence of differences; rather everything is to be combined, united under a totalising front, despite the contradictory nature of that impulse. this narrative then, down to its bare bones formula, is a civilising mission. civilisation barreling in, banishing fear and uncertainty from the light. and in order to stay in that light, one must submit to its complete authority. by this show's logic, uniformity ultimately requires the subjugation of difference.

Friday the 13th

I was born on a Friday the 13th, and I credit my older brother with a superstition I invented:

We were playing cards. It wasn't a game where a number counter could win: it was a game of pure chance, and I was losing. He told me I was losing because I would always be unlucky because I was born on Friday the 13th.

And because that made me cross, I told him that people who are born on a Friday the 13th are in fact extra lucky on that day, because we get all of the luck that other people aren't getting. And then our younger sister wandered into the room and I said I was bored playing cards and my sister and brother played, and I took the opportunity when I offered to shuffle to stack the deck so that my sister got consistently good hands and my brother lost catastrophically, so that showed him.
