Person writing an introduction for a well-known novel: I am going to spoil the vital plot points and twists of this book for anyone who has not read it
#like genuinely what’s the reason for this. has anyone ever asked for this???#an introduction should be limited to stuff you Absolutely Need to know in order to understand this book#like vital historical context or stuff about the author or ‘hey let me just explain this concept to you real quick because if you don’t know#it; you’re not going to get a lot out of this book. or you will but you’ll spend like the first third confused’#or just like hype me up for the book if you want to. tell me about the first time you read it! tell me about the author! tell me the impact#that this book has had!!#just for god’s sake why the FUCK are you spoiling the ending before page fucking one#why are you quoting whole passages verbatim from the last quarter of the book???#this shit is afterword material. like by all means put this stuff in the BACK and i’ll refer to it at the end if i’m still confused#shoutout to graham sleight’s intro to i am legend because he manages to not spoil a thing. he does it pretty much perfectly imo#victor lavalle generally does okay as well#but there are TOO many people who just write a full-blown academic introduction in which they spoil fucking everything that happens#in the book. and they do it in such a dry and dull way that you just know it hasn’t even crossed their mind that someone might be reading#it for pleasure. they’re literally just writing it for other scholars#which is FINE but make it the afterword!!!!#i’m like heyyyyy i did actually want to read frankenstein. i did actually want to experience frankenstein#and not find out before ✨page fucking one✨ what would happen to every single person in victor’s life + victor + the monster#like jesus fucking christ. have some of these people ever talked to a human being like ever#personal

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.
(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#lost in the book with nightmare before christmas#hajimari no halloween#unique magic posters#this was so unforseeable!#i hope malleus gets pumpkinified immediately and sebek has to carry him around on a little velvet cushion#i hope jade puts his plant knowledge to good use by being extremely judgy about the firmness of everyone's rind#i hope that everyone is still wearing their silly little hats as pumpkins#(i know they won't. but if we don't have hope we have nothing.)#and i'm still feeling like oogie's gotta show up later and menace jamil just by existing#perhaps we'll have to team up against him with the scullsman or something 👀#also just to get it out before being proven entirely wrong#my theory is still that he's from the past and we gotta teach him about the True Meaning of Halloween (aka candy and funtimes)#so he can go back to his own time and become the founder of modern-day candy and funtimes halloween or something#bootstrap paradox be damned#i could be entirely off-base but that's what i'm thinking right now#idk he just has the vibe of an old-timey boy to me#he's had the great misfortune of being born before there were hot topics where he could meet other jack skellington fanatics#too late for the black plague too early for the black parade 😔

#good omens#´hello friends!! how are you!!#I hope you're doing well! ( ´ ▽ ` )#I have a big cough but otherwise I am good! It's nothign bad I am just very slimey#usually I am not a cough person I am not sure where this is coming from#most of the time I just get a stuffy nose#has my nose gotten stronger#but there are good news too I have already found a VERY good chestnut to put into my pocket this autumn!! its very small! (❁´▽`❁)#it's been a very warm autumn in Germany so far so it has not really felt like fall yet#but yesterday it was all rainy and stormy and I had two new books and it was the best day possible to have a slimey cough (:#and now I feel SO much autumn I am close to buying a set of window colors#I do not know what I would to with the window colors I just have this strong urge in me to buy a window color set#the last time I did a window color was at the birtday of a class mate I think she turned 9 and I made a deer#but for some reason we did this craft 5 minutes before we all had to leave so we had to carry our window color deer home wet#unfortunatly for the deer and me I fell down the stairs of her house and smeared the deer all over me and i screamed the entire drive home#which wasn't very long but it probably felt very long for the mother who had a screaming child covered in window color deer inside her car

Love seeing the new generation find out how, well, gay "Wicked" is.
Closeted high femme dressed as the lesbian flag not getting on her rebellious activist bestie's broom and regretting it for the rest of her conformist life.
#wicked#gelphie#tbf the books are much gayer bc everyone there is bi by default. some interpret book elphaba as intersex. her son is bi and has both a male#lover and a female one. elphie kisses glinda before they part and it's not clear whether or not they had sex when they slept together#in the same bed.#but anyway at least this film added some side gay characters swooning over fiyero <3#crope and tibbett my beloved side flamboyant gays that were removed from the musical. jail for musical! for that and for#the forced love triangle. book glinda never had a thing with fiyero--although tbf even in the musical that comes off as#somewhat performative on glinda's part bc she cares about her image and fiyero is the perfect guy for that

I hope you take this as the compliment it is intended to be, but you strike the same chord of irreverence-as-love, jokes-to-showcase-sencerity that I get from Chuck Tingle, and I adore both of you.
You have bestowed the greatest honour upon me.
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangij#wei wuxian#digital art#ask#Thank you very much; I do take it as the compliment you intended it to be B*)#Mr. Tingle is a legend in both grindset and vibes. To be even 0.1% striking a similar chord is an aspiration of mine.#I also want to honour the effort I put into this parody book cover. Which was a *lot* more than one would think.#Covers were analyzed. I did research and took notes. I learned how to download fonts. 4 different programs were used.#This file is also poster sized (A4 dimensions)! I thought It would make the joke funnier for some reason.#Chuck Tingle's style is very iconic and fun to replicate. Despite the time intensive labour - I had a blast making this!#I admit to skimming most of the chapter this is based off of just to fact check a few details but boy did I learn things.#Wei Wuxian canonically has CAKE. Tiny waist and a fat ass.#I took several more notes but I will warn you now that I can't *not* find smut writing to be very funny.#This was pure chaos. Unbridled chaos. WWX really did shove a sword up his ass to bully dream-LWJ.#The need to be a little shit trumps saftey I guess.#There is a 99.9% chance I will not cover the extras so this is likely all the fans of those chapters will get from PD-MDZS.

One of my favourite parts of The Wigmaker Job is at the beginning when a Venatori mage tries to sneak up on the Dellamortes in an inn before said Job and Lucanis stabs him, knocks him out, waits for Illario to securely tie the unconscious mage to a chair, and then when the guy wakes up Lucanis just immediately kills him. And Illario is just standing there like why did you wait for me tie him up so securely if you were just going to kill him jfc Lucanis
And it happens again when they talk about getting into the Wigmaker's party and Lucanis says something along the lines of "we were never going to just walk in through the front door" and Illario is like then why the fuck did you let me spend all this time and money on my outfit????
Lucanis thinks wasting Illario's time is hilarious (and he's right)
#no specific quotes because I'm at work and Tevinter Nights is at home :(#gotta get one of those fancy leather book holsters and carry it around with me 24/7 in case I need it#Illario Dellamorte#Lucanis Dellamorte#Lucanis is so funny#I think we just don't see as much of it in TWJ as we do in DAV because he's in Work Mode#which means only the occasional brotherly prank or funny quip makes it through#but Lucanis has always been funny#And also maybe Illario deserved to get to murder him a little look at what he's had to deal with

A guy who just wake up from a coma -> what did i miss?
Pomefiore was the last plot i follow before real life made me forget about our silly boys. How bad has the plot become now for our gang? Also who is that Gojo looking guy?
anon, I am so sorry and I mean this in the best way, but I do think episode 5 is the absolute funniest place to have stopped following Twst because shit starts escalating SO fast after that. episode 6 literally starts with a secret government shadow agency breaking down our doors and kidnapping students. zero to a million instantly.
and like...that's not even the zaniest thing so far? Ortho's hacked into the collective human unconscious. there's time travel (sort of). "Crowley might be Malleus' long-lost father" is a serious theory. if you'd told me any of this back pre-episode 6, I would have asked for the link to this unbelievable but highly intriguing fanfic.
also, episode 7 gave us (and then immediately took away 😔) the best character in the whole story:
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#there are better and very comprehensive summaries out there so i'm not gonna get into it with any seriousness#(genuinely a LOT has happened)#but let's recap very quickly#episodes 1-5: our friends' RA is a huge asshole! jack's sports idol is trying to cheat at the big game! who will win the talent show!#i sure hope no one turns into a monster and tries to kill us!#episode 6: a shadowy government organization has stolen our friends (and cat) to experiment on#idia throws himself into hell and then tries to destroy the world. we punch ortho so hard he grows a soul.#episode 7: malleus has an existential crisis and traps everyone in an eternal dreamworld#extended diasomnia backstory flashbacks reveal that silver is a cursed prince and lilia wanted to be the filling in a royal sandwich#somehow sebek is the most normal character and that's the real twist right there#every new chapter is its own wild fever dream and i'm so here for it#as for this gojo fellow#i had to google him because i am unfamiliar. but i believe you are referring to our dear friend scully (skully?) j graves#from that time we got sucked into a magic book (again) and then he got mad at us for being fake halloween fans#also he wouldn't stop kissing our hand. who says there's no smooches in twst.

In another universe in order to stop Weirdmageddon Stanford would have to go ahead and seduce Bill in classic dating sim style! Organs and everything!
#fanart#digitalart#art#illustration#my art#pixelart#procreate#tw gore#maybe?#dating sim#mock up#billford#stanford pines#bill cipher#gravity falls#the book of bill#nothing that’s on that book has a straight explanation#if I had something better than rpg maker xp I would make this#someday I’ll upgrade to MV
