#they're insane for this like what the hell

I think part of the problem (or at the very least one of many, many reasons) is that directors and executives no longer know how VFX work. They think VFX is like a magic wand and can do whatever they want it to, but they don't understand the work that goes into it.
I am by no means an expert, I just happen to watch a hell of a lot of behind-the-scenes videos of movies because I like to know how they work. But if you look at how the directors and producers act in older movies, movies like LOTR or The Abyss or Terminator, they are quite literally looking over the shoulder of the VFX workers. Sure, maybe a director won't know everything about what goes into the digital effects, but they at the very least can see the struggle that goes into it.
A lot of CGI and VFX these days can be done remotely, and because the technology has advanced so far, it's a lot easier for the higher-ups to believe everything can be fixed in post in a very short time frame because they have no idea how it works. They're a lot more disconnected from that particular aspect of movie-making than they were in the past, so they don't realize that raw footage has to be good enough for the VFX artists to work with.
The reason effects in movies like The Abyss or Terminator or Lord of the Rings still hold up so well is that the shots in the movies were planned ahead of time to work with whatever visual effect they wanted to add in later. This was absolutely necessary, because they had to literally invent technology to get the effect they were looking for. And their software was a lot slower and harder to work with than what we have now. Because of that, the raw footage had to be as perfect as possible to make it easier to add in digital elements.
Now I'm not a director or a VFX artist, but I think one of the reasons execs think they can get away with poor raw footage and insanely short time frames is that they think CGI and VFX are easy. But they aren't. They still take time, and having shitty footage means "fixing it in post" can only go so far.
OMG. Somebody said it out loud.
Disney is absolutely not the only studio doing this though.
It seems to have become standard practice across movies and series everywhere.
Anything that doesn't do it is like a breath of sunlight and fresh air inside a dank musty cave.
It's part of the 'fix it in post-production' epidemic sweeping through the studios. Fix it in post is often used as a time/money-saving measure - and is absolutely part of the same mess that the WGA is fighting against currently.
Rather than fixing things on-set - audio, lighting, something in-frame that shouldn't be, etc. (which is all handled by unionized crew) - they leave it for the CG folks (not unionized) to edit later.
(on ridiculously tight schedules that leave them scrambling, cutting corners, and working inhumane hours)
See also: that part where scripts aren't finished, because the studio won't fully staff the writers room, and won't pay to have writers on-set for day-of-filming script questions and fixes (which could resolve issues such as 'what kind of lighting do we need here?')
Anyway, all this shit we, as audiences, keep complaining about - bad lighting, bad sound, wonky visual effects, over-usage of not-great CGI, stilted acting on green-screen sets, scripts that seem not-quite-finished, costumes that look like they're cheap and flimsy, terrible hair and makeup, films and series that aren't as polished as they could be...
Plus the complaints we have about streaming services and their shenanigans...
All of that is enmeshed in the extreme capitalism that has taken over everything, including entertainment, to the point that studios are abusing their workforce and churning out material that - at best just doesn't live up to its potential - at worst, is just unwatchable shit.
#movies#AGAIN this is obviously only one element of the shitty looking movie problem#but it goes to show how important it is that you know your shit if you want to be in charge of anything

Can we still request blurbs???
If so, can I request something for Alessia x Reader who is Leah's sister and doesn't know they're dating with them putting in so much work to hide their relationship and slip up by kissing/making out near Leah and are just like 'oh shit, we didn't tell her...'
-
Hiding a relationship from Leah, your sister and part-time private investigator, is no small feat. Itâs like trying to smuggle a giraffe through airport security. You and Alessia have managed it for six monthsâa masterclass in secret hand-holding, coded texts, and absolutely no public displays of affection.
Until today.
The plan is simple: brunch at your mumâs house, then a lazy Sunday afternoon spent in different rooms to avoid suspicion. Easy. Leahâs upstairs, rummaging through old boxes, and you and Alessia are in the kitchen, ostensibly âmaking tea.â
Except Alessiaâs leaning against the counter, giving you that smile, the one that makes you forget about common sense, gravity, and the existence of Leah Williamson.
âYouâre staring,â Alessia teases, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
âYouâre beautiful,â you shoot back, stepping closer. Itâs meant to sound cheeky, but your voice dips in that way it does when youâre hopelessly gone for her.
She laughs, the kind of laugh thatâs half breath and entirely trouble. âWe shouldnâtââ
You kiss her before she can finish. Itâs instinctive, automatic, and utterly stupid because, in your head, the kitchen is still safe territory. A kiss here doesnât count as reckless.
Except it does.
The kiss deepens. Alessiaâs hands find your waist. Your fingers twist into her hair. Somewhere in the haze of it all, you hear the creak of the floorboards, but you donât register itâ
Until Leahâs voice cuts through the room like a whip.
âWhat. The actual. Hellâ
You and Alessia spring apart so fast you nearly knock over the kettle. Leahâs standing in the doorway, arms crossed, her face a picture of pure disbelief.
âLeah!â you squeak, trying to sound casual but failing spectacularly. âDidnât hear you come down.â
âClearly,â she deadpans, eyes darting between the two of you. âWhatâs going on here?â
Alessia looks like she wants the ground to swallow her whole. âUmâŚâ
âMaking tea?â you offer, holding up an empty mug like itâs evidence of your innocence.
Leah raises an eyebrow. âBy sticking your tongue down each otherâs throats?â
Alessia coughs, going beetroot red. You rub the back of your neck, scrambling for an explanation that doesnât sound insane.
âWe were⌠just⌠um⌠testing boundaries?â you try, but even as you say it, you know itâs stupid.
âBoundaries?â Leah repeats, her voice climbing an octave.
Thereâs a long silence. The kettle boils. No one moves.
Finally, Alessia takes a deep breath and says, âOkay, so weâre together.â
Leah blinks. Once. Twice. âYouâre what?â
âTogether,â you repeat, because apparently you like living dangerously. âHave been for a while, actuallyâ
Leahâs face shifts from shock to something resembling betrayal. âAnd you didnât think to tell me?â
âWe were going to,â Alessia says quickly. âJust, you know⌠not like thisâ
Leah looks between the two of you, her disbelief melting into something more familiar: exasperation. âSo, let me get this straight. My sister and my teammate have been sneaking around for months, making out in kitchens, and thought I wouldnât notice?â
âPretty much,â you say, shrugging helplessly.
Thereâs another pause, and then, to your surprise, Leah bursts out laughing. Itâs not a comforting laugh, though; itâs the kind of laugh that says youâre both idiots, and Iâm going to make sure you know it.
âOh, this is going to be fun,â she says, grinning wickedly. âYou realise youâve just handed me months of blackmail material, right?â
âLeahââ
âNo, no. Donât worry.â She waves you off, still laughing. âI wonât tell Mum. Yetâ
As she leaves the kitchen, you and Alessia exchange a look of pure horror.
âSheâs never going to let this go, is she?â Alessia asks, her voice barely above a whisper.
âNot in a million years,â you reply, groaning.
Somewhere upstairs, you hear Leah yell, âHope the teaâs worth it!â
Itâs not.

hey I was planning another post today but instead letâs talk about how much I love that thereâs not really a âgoodâ ending to the companion plotlines in Veilguard. It reminds me of Leliana and Alistairâs plotlines in DAO in that what you choose says more about the player/protagonist than anything
I just finished Isana Negat a second time, and I did the other ending and I thought it was just as good. Like, yeah, Harding does deserve to be angry! They did fucking get everything taken away from them! Itâs so painful and horrific; yes you can, and should, be mad! But also Harding prioritizing her very real love for and compassion towards other people is not wrong. Itâs just different! Itâs just Rookâs friend/lover asking them for advice, and Rook giving it! You know, like in real life except with huge magical rock giants
And okay Iâm never going to kill Illario because I think it would make Luca really sad and he has enough problems, Whoops I misremembered this, I donât think you can kill Illario actually. I love that for Luca <3 But yk, Iâm probably still not going to imprison him. but I can see it! Because the cycle has to end, right? The violence and infighting of the Crows endlessly attacking each other over power is part of what allowed the Antaam to get a foothold in Antiva, because there was like a double agent or something (if Iâm remembering right from Tev Nights). Some kind of ending needs to be made to this endless violence. And I suppose it depends on how retributive Rook is, which is a great question to ask of the player (one that is asked repeatedly throughout the game). Itâs not like Illario didnât do anything, you know! He probably deserves punishment. But Rook, as they always can at various points, can be merciful, can choose absolution. Wow no, Iâm glad I was wrong I love it more like this.
And oh boy, I LOVED the ending of Emmrichâs quest, donât even get me started! Like!! I thought it was going to be âwell obviously we HAVE to save Manfredâ, but how Emmrich talks about accepting his death and his sacrifice convinced me! I was like alright man, this is a real choice! I actually did make him a lich last time (made a lot of sense from a Watcher perspective, imo) and not only was the cutscene sick as hell, but the follow-up was so funny and I got some really sad Spite dialogue which fucking wrecked me. It was greatâ seriously, his plotline is one of my favorites in the whole game.
And Davrinâs! Iâve already expounded at length about how much I like his quest line and how it ties into the Grey Wardens, but I really think both of his options for the griffons are so workable, because you know the Grey Wardens, especially under Antione and Evka, arenât going to hurt those little guys again! But also the scenes with Eldrin are so endearing, and Davrinâs hope for a brighter future for them is so sweet and genuine. Itâs hard to pick! Itâs about Rook's perspective!
Neve's I'll admit I don't vibe with as much just because of the like 'trust the authorities' angle, but i haven't tried saving Minrathous yet and I think it would be sooooo involving as a Shadow Dragon especially. Because that's what they're fighting for, right? That better Minrathous where they CAN be sure that if they send the insane cultist lady to prison sheâs going to stay there? But thereâs always the practical consideration of peopleâs lives being at stake NOW, of Neve needing her friends safe NOW. And just killing Aelia ensures she will never be an issue again. So I can see both angles for sure
And Taash ;-; oh, Taash. I havenât posted about them that much yet because they make me very emotional and itâs hard to organize thoughts like that. But I really love their quest, and their struggle to define themselves. And look, I know people wanted the option to tell them they could be both, but like as a person who has lived a similar experience, it really feels sometimes like the world is making you choose. It can feel like youâre not enough of either thing for anyone. And there are parts of your identity that you will have to make a choice on, and I think itâs trying to speak to that. I did the Rivaini one, and itâs like⌠well, theyâre embracing the culture of Rivain, but itâs not like anyone is ever going to look at them and NOT see a Qunari. You canât get away from that. What you choose to do in response is a real dilemma and I think that if you engage with the text genuinely you can see what Trick was doing. Also, there is a really great dialogue from Rook that I think gives more context to the discussion; they can say that they have been many things, and itâs important to take what works from each experience and make it part of yourself. So I donât think Taashâs plot is trying to make them throw away any of themselves, just defining priorities. (Sorry, that got long. Feelings, opinions about that one)
And I donât think Bellaraâs is obvious, either, especially with how they involve the Nadas Dirthalen in her personal plot. This is a thing that is really emotionally and culturally significant to her, but at the same time it is part of what hurt her brother and ultimately took him away from her. Sheâs really preoccupied with not causing harm by her actions; she spends the whole game worried about it! And even though Rook doesnât see the dangerous elements of the repository, that doesnât mean theyâre not there. The puzzle quest you can find in Arlathan proves that other people besides Cyrian were taken in by Anaris. And also, thereâs the plot thread they briefly touched on in the last game which is that the culture the Dalish have built, that they have RIGHT NOW, is not wrong. But itâs also important to remember history, even if itâs unpleasant or could be dangerous, which is another thing you can discuss with Bellara during the game. So thereâs no wrong choice! Itâs just about Rook and Bellara and whatâs important from their perspectives.
Anyway it was super refreshing to have these kinds of choices! It reminds me of the best character choices in DAI and DAO, especially, and Iâm so happy they carried those things forward and improved on them.

The gravity of this statement becomes so much more immense when you consider two very prominent aspects of Odo's personality:
He's an introvert
One of the defining traits of his entire species is the fact that they're obsessed with order and control
This need for order almost certainly extends to his daily routine. A routine that he MODIFIES, EVERY DAY, just for the sake of pestering Quark. There are one of two scenarios happening here:
SCENARIO 1
Odo goes about all the rest of his daily tasks, and occasionally decides that he feels like it might be a good time to stop by Quark's, just for the hell of it. He defers his current task for later.
SCENARIO 2
Odo allocates several blocks of free time on his schedule every day, with the express purpose of randomly turning some of them into Quark Pestering Sessions.
Either one of these scenarios is insane.
A lot of us here are introverted and on the spectrum, so a lot of us can identify with Odo. So tell me... what would it take for you to do this?
What would it take for you to engage in a minimum of three planned disruptions to your routine,
every single day,
just to go to the noisiest, most chaotic part of the station,
to bicker with an extrovert?
I wouldn't even do this with my best friend, let alone my 'worst enemy!'
I know that we all already know that Odo is obsessed with Quark, but I feel like you can't understand just how bone-deep that obsession runs until you've really stopped to think about the mental/emotional load this behavior would incur.
Every single day, for the better part of a decade, Odo is actively fighting every social and environmental preference he has just so he can spend time with Quark.
In the real world, we'd consider this to be a frighteningly extreme case of pathological obsession, but on Known Trashfire Deep Space Nine, everyone is just like 'oh yeah, it's fine, we let him do that for enrichment!'
"I usually go to Quark's three or four times at random intervals just to let him know I'm thinking about him"
Odo are you hearing yourself

Hii idk if ur requests are open (if not ignore!!) but maybe first date ideas? (Specifically with Mammon and Beelzebub if thatâs ok!!) thank youuu :) <3
Don't worry they're open !!!! And I got you! <3 this is a cute little request I like it <3 Notes: Gender neutral reader!, typical hints at things getting spicier after the date
Your First Date with Mammon and Beelzebub !
Mammon
King of dates !
He can take you anywhere and everywhere that you desire, and he will!
For a first date though he's keeping it simple. Well, simple for Mammon.
And simple for Mammon means the fanciest restaurant in Hell that one can come by.
Think the most delicious meal you could possibly have and he WILL get it for you.
It's a first date, sure, but he's gonna spoil you a little bit already.
Beautiful bouquet, maybe some piece of jewelry or accessory that he knows you're likely to wear. He more than knows your style by this point.
Will take you on a walk through his favorite places in Tartaros afterwards, desires to show you the place where you're obviously gonna be spending the most time in now that you're together.
You will be getting the full "I am dating the King of Tartaros" treatment even though it's the first date.
He just really likes to see you happy. And the cost quite literally means nothing to him because he has everything. So if he can bring a smile to your face he'll glad dish out whatever amount he feels he needs to.
And well, if he gets a little something extra out of it too after your date, then he's not exactly complaining. <3
Beelzebub
See Bel could either take you on a really sweet first date or an absolute insane one.
Likelihood is it's gonna be a mixture of both!!
He wants you to have fun, and even with a date he's not exactly the best at sitting still so you're likely to do more than one activity.
First off! Probably one of his favorite clubs! Of course if it's a bit too much for you you guys can skip it, you can go dancing just about anywhere after all! But he does want to dance with you!
And he if gets a little touchy in the club (or wherever you decide to go) then it's so fine. He can't help but love having his hands on you at all times.
Next stop, one of his favorite places to get a meal! And by meal I mean a feast. It's a feast. He'll tell you fun little stories about his adventures as you two eat, and even share ideas of places he's gone that he wants to take you! Which is plenty.
Honestly if you didn't have such an important job currently as Solomon's Descendant he would be dragging you around everywhere. Which is exactly what he plans to do any date opportunity you guys get from now on.
Probably leaves the tab for Bael to deal with (rip him). And immediately whisks you off to whatever sort of theme park they have in Hell.
Takes you on any ride he can possibly get you on. If you say no to anything adrenaline inducing it's fine, but if you decide to go he gets excited hoping that you'll hold onto him tightly.
If you don't he's slightly pouty, but he's still happy you're having fun!!!
Will win a couple of prizes for you, naturally. He's gotta show off a little bit!
Will round off the date by taking you back to Gehenna, will give you a kiss and leave if you desire, however, if you wanna have a little bit more fun, he can stick around for a bit long as well.

the blame falls on jayce's shoulders because he's the one that combined viktor with the hexcore at the beginning of season 2! and then when he comes and then tells jayve he's going to leave, jayce is going to say "i never asked for this" YOU were the one that combined the hexcore with viktor. i know they're both victims but the way people try and act like viktor wasn't being manipulated by the hexcore this entire time annoy me so bad, especially the comments about it i see on tiktok.
Alright anon, I generally agree with you and I am very exasperated with Jayce for blowing a hole in Viktorâs chest, but as with all things. Nuance.
Firstly, regarding Jayce combing Viktor with the Hexcore; there is no way in hell Jayce couldâve known what was going to come of that. Which, obviously, means maybe he shouldnât have done it if he didnât know the outcome, but also the second the Hexcore registered that Viktor was in the room, it started gravitating towards him. Jayce tried to hold it back with those tongs and it was stronger than him. I give him grace for that whole situation because desperation and adrenaline are some insane fucking drugs and also because the moment Viktor was back in that lab, his fate was sealed, regardless of Jayce coming into contact with the Hexcore or not. Firmly believe that even if Jayce had set him there and left to go find help, he wouldâve come back to find that the Hexcore had merged with Viktor anyway. I think itâs also worth noting that Viktor started this process on his own in Season 1. Viktor was the one who chose to feed the Hexcore his blood and Shimmer, though yes, he was doing so out of desperation. But still, that was his choice, not Jayceâs.
Secondly, about Viktor being manipulated by the Hexcore; absolutely! I 1000% agree with that. I do not think that whatever is appearing to him as Sky is actually Sky, that is Something Else, in a way thatâs very parallel to the fake Kino we saw with Mel in episode 5! Viktor does not have the full picture of what heâs been doing with the Arcane and we only have a handful more tiny pieces than he does!
And third, on whatever Jayce saw in his missing time; I am getting the feeling that he witnessed/lived through multiple alternate timelines in which things went Very Wrong, likely at the hands of a heavily corrupted and possessed Viktor, who Jayce could not bring himself to kill. Thatâs why heâs so adamant about not failing again. I donât think this perception is 100% accurate to the state of things in the core timeline, but I also donât think Jayceâs perception of the Arcane as whole is entirely accurate. Heâs been exposed to the worst of it, the mind-rending and reality-shredding horrifying potential it contains, whereas Viktor has only been exposed to the best parts of it, the good it can do (even if thatâs not exactly whatâs happening with him in reality). We donât know exactly how long is between Act 1 and Act 2 this time around, probably a handful of months, but I am very much willing to bet that Jayce was gone for a lot longer than that from his perspective and came back not only with run-of-the-mill PTSD (as to be expected) but also some seriously magically inflicted psychic damage. I donât think Salo!Viktor was being metaphorical when he said that the Arcane took Jayceâs mind. His perception of reality has been irreparably altered and I wonder if itâs part due to the lack of this alteration that led to him potentially sparing alternate timeline Viktors who otherwise shouldâve died. He almost killed a child, again. Something isnât right when it comes to both him and Viktor.
Jayce is to blame for a whole lotâthe entire end of episode 6, obviouslyâbut I donât blame him for Viktorâs initial transformation. Whatever comes next, however, does fall on his shoulders. That I wonât dispute for a second, though there is without a doubt more going on there and I am SO excited to see whatâs going on behind the curtain with all the weird magic shit.
#this got long lmao sorry#I have. so many thoughts about these boys#arcane is a show with so many layers and so much nuance#no one is Good or Bad (except maybe Ambessa lmao though she is FASCINATING to watch be evil)#arcane#arcane spoilers#jayce talis#viktor#Jayvik#Quinn answers

In the miko in tfa au
As established miko is danm menace, she goes for the kill whenever she can so shes banned from fighting the human villains, (thanks inpart to her telling professor princess to go after the ceos and shareholders of the companies she hates if she really wants to make a difference)
When it comes to the cons however? Well she agreed no murder so they just throw her at the cons and try to stay out of the way. Shes treats fighting them like a game most days so they figure its best to let her do her thing. The decepticons as a whole are obviously freaked out by this nightmare autobot that suddenly showed up. Half of them are convinced she's a former decepticon the rest just think she's straight up insane. I can see megatron trying to recruit her if only to keep her from traumatizing his troops further.
Meanwhile miko has developed a frenemy rivalry with soundwave because she's both immune to his power and really into his music which poor boy has no idea how to respond to other then to declare her his rival and constantly try to destroy her in epic musical battles. He gave her his guitar to male this happen so miko thinks they're friends and that the battles are just jam sessions. That doesn't stop her from casually throwing him around like a rag doll whenever they fight but still.
Hahaha I'm loving everything about this ask. Yeah Miko is definitely eating the rich type person and will try to get everyone on board with her.
Miko is the autobot's feral attack dog and to the cons she's a living nightmare. The dynamic essential is:
Why not both be a former decepticon and insane! Most of them probably think she's both. I bet there's bets going on what the hell her deal is.
The visual of Megatron trying to recruit Miko to prevent traumaâ˘ď¸ is hilarious.
--------------------------------------------------
Megatron: Join us Joyride prime! (Please please please I don't have therapists please)
Miko: I'll eat your skin.
Megatron: đ
--------------------------------------------------
I'm now just thinking of an anime AMV type thing with rock music playing in the background. Soundwave and her would totally jam out! Their jam sessions would be legendary to witness. They totally fight like little siblings now lol.

People honestly portray Tuvok as far too "rolling his eyes, reluctantly going along with Janeway's silly little shenanigans" - he's literally so serious about being right there with her on every decision she makes. Janeway's like "I'm going to stay behind if the ship blows up" and Tuvok's like "I'm staying with you." Janeway's like "I'm going to deliver every member of the Equinox crew into the jaws of death via an alien revenge massacre" and Tuvok protests a grand total of one time before being fully on the bridge assisting her. He was the only one with her when she made the decision to honor the caretaker's wishes and save the Ocampa, dooming them all. He was willing to get court marshalled in order to fulfill a wish she couldn't grant by her own hand: Get them home [no matter what happens to me] <- wherein 'me' is Tuvok. This was the same wish that spurred him forward when he had to leave her on that planet and everyone left thought him cold for trying to fulfill it without her when in his mind it was akin to a dying wish, the last thing she'd ever express to him: Get them home [no matter what happens to me.] <- wherein 'me' is Janeway. He told Seven that the golden rule to follow is that the captain is "ALWAYS RIGHT" <- (His ACTUAL words) and when Seven asks if the captain should be followed even if someone KNOWS she's wrong he says "Perhaps." This man is perhaps the most ride or die dude in the universe about Janeway. Despite her labeling him her 'moral compass' he is by NO means impartial or unbiased. He'd defend her to his last breath. He canonically makes detailed psychological observations about her and has for years. He accounts for her luck when calculating the success of certain plans. It's implied in 'Twisted' that Janeway typically listens to Tuvok's suggestions and follows them nearly without fail - to the point that he's surprised and obviously irritated when Chakotay doesn't. Despite this they've been inside one another's quarters so infrequently that Tuvok can remember each instance. They call each other "Captain" and "Mr. Tuvok" even though they've known each other for twenty years. There's something wrong with them.
#star trek voyager#TUVOK....TUVOOOOK. HEY. HEEEEY.#What the HELL did you mean by 'Remember this guideline: The Captain is Always Right.'#<- SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH HIM FR WHAT'S UP WITH HIM#Kathryn Janeway#Tuvok#WHAT are they DOOOIING <3<3#what does 'right' mean in this context since he confirms it does NOT mean 'correct' !!!!!! TUVOK!!!!! PICK UP THE PHONE!!!#the flipside to this is that Tuvok can do almost anything and Janeway's like 'continue on my dear old friend I trust you<3'#It's implied in 'Twisted' that Janeway listens to his suggestions nearly without fail and he's NOT happy that Chakotay doesn't do the same#which IS!!!!!!! INSANE!!!#Actually I'm adding this to the post.#Janeway: This man is my most trusted advisor.#Tuvok: Everything the captain says is correct at the end of the day. Even if it's wrong - no it isn't.#<- You are Chakotay and your hell has just begun#Janeway#Tuvok/Janeway#Janeway/Tuvok#what are they doiiiiing#with Spock & Kirk I know it's because they're in love with each other. What are Tuvok & Janeway DOOIIING

so when are we gonna start appreciating undertale AUs for fueling a metric fuck ton of the creativity and longevity of the fandom because if i see one more person calling them the cringiest part of the last 8 years i might lose it
#trousled rants#been feeling a bit salty about this for a while but im letting it out now because i Can#but its insane seein ppl say âoh the fandom's mellowed out a lot its way more peaceful nowâ and agreeing bc it IS#and then âyeah now that AUs aren't so popular anymore its way more bearableâ and its like :) okay#and if i told you that fan game you've been talking about for the past month is an au. what then#sighsghs its just like man i GET that a lot of aus are just edgy for the sake of it but shit dude!!! people were just having fun!!!!!#a lot of them were an avenue for ppl learning how to make their own stories!! even if they're not perfect or in character#making a shit ton of papyrus aus is one of the main things that helped me realize how much i love character design#and i KNOWWWW i'm not the only one and youre trying to tell me that's not awesome as hell!!!!!#yeah i probably i have nostalgia glasses but maybe i do kinda miss when everybody was a bit more insane actually . maybe i do#undertale

i wish i had more energy to draw and plot lately i NEED to make the insane daemoverse flowisk situationship real. i need you guys to see my vision
#they're the only ones that understand each other they're the only ones marred from the same mistakes#nobody else can understand the way save power changes you and they don't know how to live with it afterwards#but hell if they're not going to stick around each other to see what happens next#there's a chara shaped hole carved into both of their chests and they want it back they can't bear being alone again. but they have to#and so they cling to each other. because who else will understand?#and they are FREAKS!!!!!!!#a freak and a frea(s)k#also it's been like 12 years since the barrier broke. what does it mean to grow up after you spent so long stuck in stasis#what does it mean to Change and develop past the solidity of what you thought you were#also they're really stupid roommates frisk keeps eating raw ramen blocks to avoid doing the dishes#they have one of those mad detectives corkboard with the red string going everywhere which is almost impossible to walk through#because flowey handles it and he keeps ignoring the fact that he's 2ft tall while frisk. isn't. lol#also the corkboard is 70% investigation and 30% them bickering about stupid bullshit as commentary#the post it situation in the flat is insane#daemoverse#frisk#flowey
