Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)
"So. Tell me what happened."
"Well. It was me. I kicked it."
"Any particular reason?"
"I lost my temper."
"Who with?"
"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."
"And you kicked the painting?"
"Yes, sir."
"Instead of kicking McClaren?"
"Yes, sir."
"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."
"So do I, sir."

Vaughan is as excellent as he always was‚ a tragic portrait of quiet dignity meeting sheer pigheadedness and#unbending yet naturally servile nature. Aldridge and Maxwell‚ tho‚ are the scene stealers as the owner (?) and head expert of the auction#house respectively‚ a pair of upper class grotesques who nevertheless display surprising nuance and depth as the plot develops#(particularly Maxwell). less politically motivated than many PfTs (not that it is at all apolitical: communism‚ the soviet union‚ wartime#looting and princess Diana all figure into the story) but a genuinely very compellingly told and entertaining play that manages moments#of real sharp comic dialogue alongside a gloomier slant on the inevitability of dishonest dealings at every level

shuichi posting
#my art#fanart#strawberridraws#danganronpa#drv3#shuichi saihara#character design#don't ask me what possessed me to make this#(its the game grumps play through. the demons have officially returned)#all my aus and head canons bouncing around at maximum velocity rn..#technically this is part of my “the tragedy was real” au / towa kids au#but shuichi (in that au) was kinda just like#what he is on the tin#aka a nice dude taken under his uncles wing post parent death (tragedy) (they were on vacation and got caught up in one of the worst areas)#in my au its like. imagine a weather map with hotspots; that's how the tragedy worked#so shuichi lived in a less effected area but with the rise of infected people (like zombie apocalypse style) (and animorphs brain worm styl#as you cannot tell who is effected by despair and to what extent unless they choose to reveal themselves)#there was a hugeee uptick in crime and shit so he started working with his uncle early on#eventually his uncle went missing (I think its not super hammered out) and he went to investigate#which is when he runs into his like Gang of pregame ppl#(Kaito maki Kaede)#and later some others (towa kid gang [kokichi gang but with drv3 kids] island gang [angie kork n amami])#ANYWAYS its a thing...#ik its been like 3 years since I first posted about it but u can't control the brain worms ig#and I just wanted to do a redesign lmao

My fic writing process
Me: Here is an interesting idea, extrapolating the story's inherent, underutilized worldbuilding and not only acting upon it, but expanding it and making it my own to explore themes and characters I enjoy. Also Me: Ok but also this would be Hilarious
#im not kidding#my major motivation for stories is either: wow I have deep thoughts on this idea and need to put it to paper#or giggling over stupid scenarios#started my lockwood fic and its either deep discussion on PTSD life/death and the trials of child soldier found families#but also Zany As Fuck shenanigans#Holly and Skull are going to have the most lovingly antagonistic relationship#He gets under her skin the way no one else can#Lucy needs to hide Skull at least twice a week because Holly has had Enough and has a Big Hammer#its what she deserves

#obligatory jonasposting#i don’t know if i got the vibe i wanted to capture?? i feel like watching jonas race this year has ultimately been about hope#like the entire thing at its core feels like a leap of faith- of course visma was obsessively running numbers behind the scenes and#trying to prepare him as well as possible#but in the end he still hadn’t raced since april. he still had less than half the preparation and a massive question mark was following#them to the startline#but he still came. and he still believed. and everyone around him believed beyond everything else-#staff. commentators. fans. everyone was holding their breath because they don’t know where to place their bets#so it all comes down to crossing your fingers every time he gets a mechanical. saying a prayer under your breath when he loses 30 seconds.#and then stage 11 comes along! the tension is suddenly resolved and it’s like seeing the sun again!#but then things start to go downhill- but everyone still keeps hoping. the commentators i was watching were still saying “if” instead of#“when” about his podium in stage 21 because despite everything people still had hope! they don’t want to lay down the hammer#and even when he still finished second#the grief still mingled with the wonderful and beautiful fact that he still did it!#you take a step back and against all odds jonas vingegaard came back from the brink of death and podiumed the fucking tour de france!#and that heartbreak and wonder can coexist. you didn’t hope for nothing. the sky is still blue. the sun still shines. he made it.#sorry long tag rant i’m a yapper at heart y’all#me reading or listening to anything ever rn: omg this is so jonas coded!!!#jonas vingegaard#jv#tadej pogacar#remco evenepoel#wout van aert#wva#matteo jorgenson#tdf#tdf 2024#tour de france 2024#tour de france#cycling

Crying, sobbing, throwing up after reading Bill vs Bill and knowing that in the Book of Bill, Bill had parents, a family who loved him. And Familiar!Bill has that again in the form of his Dipper loving him back
Thank you! Familiar!Bill is really doing much better than the baseline version, what with forming one (1) honest emotional connection and all.
I'm pretty pleased with the emotional arc of Bill vs Bill, but if I went back to it? I'd alter some of Bill's weaponized embarrassment to include Book of Bill details. It'd just hit so much harder.
#answers#We were truly blessed with so much material from Book of Bill#There's so much stuff that Familiar Bill could have used once things got really rough to TRULY hammer things home#One recitation of Cipher Cipher he's insane/starting fires with his brain#And Other Bill would instantly start sweating#Cause if Familiar Bill is dredging up THAT old of a memory to throw him off his game#Then he's REALLY bringing out the big guns#Dipper's still there of course#Standing at the sidelines and boggling at some REAL deep lore he never knew existed#The ego fight was invisible to his eyes but just imagine#Other Bill cackling because his opponent is equally matched but already wounded in the swordfight#Only for Familiar Bill to strike a match and hold it near the fuse of a giant TNT barrel labeled 'pre-Euclidean Massacre memories'#Other Bill all like you wouldn't fucking dare. You'd kill us both!#And the response 'Just try me'#Familiar!Bill would if asked proclaim that he's just that much better at bluffing#That coward crumpled under pressure! What a loser!#He shoulda been smarter. Obviously Bill would never ACTUALLY go through with that. Ha!#When really the only reason he was ABLE to make the threat#Is because deep-down. A part of him trusts Dipper to catch him if he falls#Bill is a consummate liar

I just wanted to say that I love your art style! Your use of color is really pretty and I love the way you draw blushing. Also, I'm curious about JD's other ex Barley I think was his name. If you don't mind, could you tell us more about him? Like did he and JD end on good terms?
Oo, yes! I've been meaning to do more with Barley!
Barley and JD met while Barley was herding the lonesome flats buffalo critters and JD was passing through the prairie. They set up camp in the same area and got to talking and found they really enjoyed each other's company. JD followed on the same trail for a couple of days, doing his own thing with Rhonda and then at night they would camp together, sing songs and share a drink and a meal.
But JD was on his way somewhere so when the trail split off they went their separate ways. For a while JD would go back to that area around Lonesome Flats and see if he could find Barley again but he had no luck for a while. Next time he ran into Barley he made note of the migration pattern of the buffalo so that he could "happen upon" his friend again. So they would spend a couple of weeks together on the trail every 3 months or so and you know..... Maybe they fell in love a little bit but their lives weren't conducive to a relationship at that point so they just appreciated the companionship 💚🧡
#trolls#trolls 3#trolls band together#trolls oc#trolls oc barley#jd ex husband#me and lilith were hammering out details literally this morning#although most of it was already baked#ill draw him soon i prommy!!!!! ive been riding this high of epic gay divorce#finally getting to the good stuff#the fighting 😈#lot of asks about who is endgame ...... well 🤔 who knows#btw u know they were kissing under the stars they were definitely more than just friends

unpopular opinion: borderlands (2024) has many MANY issues but the actors' age isn't one of them. in fact, they easily could've made a fantastic BL movie populated only by ugly octogenarian+ actors.
#you could age up every borderlands adult character in every game and it wouldn't make a single difference to the plot#concept: the og vault hunters arrived on pandora as a sort of shitty retirement scheme under crushing intergalactic capitalism. go.#(one of the characters uses a walker just to really hammer home that they're all Old now) (its bloodwing)#also no one needs to be pretty this is pandora it's fine#even moxxie and the sirens only need to be attractive to the other characters. we the audience don't need to find them hot or whatever#borderlands 2024
