#there’s so many comparisons to make

[mastergeeka]

Hot Take: I mean this in the kindest way possible, Jacob Drawfee and Adam NRB are the same person but in very different fonts.

Things I make for myself when insomnia kicks in

Just a chart about what I wanna change up and keep consistent in my art - I mainly wanna draw Raph with a tail because he deserves one, it fits too well. Donnie gets a long tail too because I didn’t realize how dino-like he looks until I gave him one, and now it’s a must for me haha.

I keep thinking about Lewis' review of The Hobbit, because he claimed that the main thing contemporary reviewers compared it to was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Was fantasy in that poor of a state that Alice was the closest thing they could think of? Comparing that chaotic fever dream to Tolkien's intricately crafted world? Lewis does specify that the comparison is that both books are by an "Oxford professor at play", but they're otherwise so different that putting the two in the same category baffles me.

fighting for my life trying to find a dawntrail fit for him

"The body and face of this sculpture are in idealized youth, with plump cheeks and round face, and his hair is usually unkempt..his youthful appearance, large eyes, pouting lips, and layered locks of hair over his forehead are some of the iconography that can be used to identify him"

^ this quote is genuinely still fucking plaguing me. THIS IS LITERALLY SEB???? LIKE LITERALLY 2010 SEB SPECIFICALLY????? It is actually fucking me up how it is literally quintessentially Seb. Like big eyes...plump cheeks and round face...unkempt hair...pouty lips...okay okay okay!!!! And that Antinous is basically the peak perfection of pretty boy from that time, I'm like, yeah that's Seb to me 🥹🥹🤧🤧

But god the "youthful appearance, big eyes, pouting lips, and layered locks of hair over his forehead" Does that quote not evoke pictures like these in your head???????

I feel so unwell about it 😭😭 I am going through it 😭😭

been thinking lots about Daniel being turned and the whole red light green light speech. red light, he dies of old man causes in the tower while drinking and talking to Armand. red light, Armand drinks from him. Armand almost drains him to death, he flashes back to the moments in his life that echoed Armand's predictions. I am the quiet you've always been longing for, and the light goes green when he's past the point of no return. green light, Armand's blood calling out for him. if he died of a heart attack, there would be no drum except Armand's. green light, flashes of what Louis told him and how that impacted his life, he doesn't move. I just think like. the image of Daniel at a stoplight when he dies, seeing in his rearview these vampires that devoured his life, and pausing before he becomes one. and Armand's speech has been haunting me

oh.

I will never stop hammering on the fact that Fallen London is a perfect setting to make greek myth allusions, and it is always under utilizing this

People who compare transition to self harm or use real people they know who've self-harmed as a metaphorical comparison to transitioning aren't making the gotcha they think they're making - they're just showing that they don't have the compassion or maturity to engage with either topic at even a conversational level.

And, frankly, it's infuriating as a person who does see those who self-harm as my equal who doesn't need to be used as a cudgel against another group of often vulnerable people.

“if she doesn't want to be called dude i won't call her that” - you are assuming you and your friends read as people trans women feel safe enough to speak up to, while already demonstrating you don't take other people seriously enough.

Your habit and lack of self restraint/awareness matter more than common sense i guess. Like i would never call a transmasc “girl” because that would seem like obvious misgendering, but it's different for trans women apparently.

blinks at you

do you think mikey would have a favorite in your au

SO OBVIOUSLY NO BECAUSE HE LOVES ALL THESE BOYS EQUALLY AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALLY LIKE THERE IS NO "FAVORITE" ...but... but Leo DOES become his special little guy. Because all the boys remind him so much of his brothers, in odd and new ways then what he expected, but little Leo reminds 2k12 Mikey of HIMSELF the most.

He sees this funny, sweet little kid who hides all his insecurities behind jokes and puns, a walking poster child for smiling depression the same way 2k12 Mikey is, and he recognizes all those self-destructive qualities of himself, of self-worth issues of never being good enough and throwing him own safety away just to be WORTH something to his family, in this tiny Leo and immediately go "History is NOT repeating itself on my fucking watch!!!"

wondering about Frank and insects but specifically about how it looks like the WH insects are highly stylized, so does Frank even know anything about real butteflies/insects?

& if he saw a real one, would he recognize it? are all of the species names he applies to the WH bugs real, or are they all made up like "Vibrant Eyespot" or "Fluttering Heartwing"?

and then there's the question - does the neighborhood have some of the more 'undesirable' bugs like moths, worms, roaches, spiders? does it have bugs outside of the generic groups of beetles and butterflies? like are there mantids? leafbugs? dragonflies? weevils? or are those too specific/complex/not-cute for the Playfellow Workshop to have included?

and then there's the question of what are the bugs? props? puppets? are they alive or do the neighbors just perceive them as such? Do they even exist outside of art, storybooks, and animated segments? I highly doubt they're alive like the neighbors are, since in the gif of Frank's head spinning, the framed butterflies' wings are moving. which is kind of horrifying if you think about it for more than a second.

just... the critters Frank loves so so so much being a complete fabrication... every piece of knowledge he prides himself on / delights in knowing being utterly Untrue... oof
