People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

The funniest part of this new event is the fact I can't find out what's going on it from spoilers. All context is lost in the wave of Hot Eel Mom. I love her, all hail Georgina, mother of This and That, but where is the context? What *is* the event?
to be fair, we're still in the intro part, so not much has actually happened yet! Jade and Floyd were supposed to go to their mom's friend's wedding to help with the ancient merfolk marriage custom of
❤️❤️❤️~the Test of Love~❤️❤️❤️
but Floyd last-minute changed his mind (on account of being Floyd) and Azul was like "I'm not going if your mom is going to be there". at which point Jade realized he'd just been handed a golden opportunity to invite the absolute funniest group of people he could think of.
anyway tl;dr Jade manipulates a bunch of nerds into joining him to heckle/throw bricks at/try to drown a couple of randos in the name of love, what could possibly go wrong
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#eternity float#eternity float of the coral sea#okay FINE they're not supposed to ACTUALLY drown but it is considered good luck if you manage to flip their boat over#honestly this event is just super cute so far. i forgot how much i enjoyed these silly excursions!#there's been some fun little worldbuilding bits about mercustoms#and of course they all need new outfits because ✨wedding✨#i do think my favorite thing about georgina so far#(aside from the whole seven foot tall gorgeous mermaid thing)#is that she was able to immediately and accurately intuit everyone's personality and style based off of hearing floyd's nicknames for them#i believe it#oh also 'how lovely to meet jade's friends...thank you for coming...gracious me. the prince of briar valley! what an honor. and who's this?#'oh my...so THIS is the famous riddle i've heard so much about :) :) :)'#what have they been telling her. what secrets does she know.#(riddle: we're not --) (rook: yes we are ~BOSOM FRIENDS~)#(malleus in the background: human child. tell me i am the prettiest little sea slug you've ever seen.)#god i love them#can't wait to see these idiots enact petty harassment on those poor unfortunate souls

Historians Hate Him

For readers of PD-MDZS? its been a long time. How to transition back in a way that's fun?#Let's also get to my main point: Yeah hold on how *did* he die???#Nobody seem to actually know - and usually WWX's inner monologue woud be like 'It actually happened like this'.#But we get *none* of that. Instead the audience is equally an outsider and we just have to draw our own conclusions.#What is rumour and what is lies? I personally do not think any of the presented options are the truth.#We aren't supposed to know! It's okay to let be a mystery! The open interpretation lends itself to some interesting analysis!#WWX is the historical figure that makes people lock forum threads when the topic of 'how he died' comes up -#-because the debates are *that* heated.#I like to image the people who did know him 1) don't press him about what happened and 2) make up incorrect facts on purpose.#Quick - everyone make up a fact about how the Yiling Laozu died.#Mine is: I heard the YLLZ died by trying to drink all the blood out of his blood pool.

How do you think Gerry would feel if he'd been able to hear Jon defending him to Trevor and Julia when they came for his page?
Chummy?
I did remove some of the dialogue a bit, mostly from Julia and Trevor because ultimately that isn't what the comic is about but just a fair warning.
Went a bit insane thinking of this while drawing this so a bit of made up AU lore for this comic.
When Jon burns Gerry's page he says "you owe me" and while he doesn't mean it, Beholding does. Gerry is sorta bound to Jon now in that he manifests anytime Trevor and Julia are a threat to Jon (because technically it would be Gerry's fault that they're after him). But in classic Ceaseless Watcher fashion, he can only watch as a ghost, and never interact or intervene. No one knows he's there.
He is finally free once Julia and Trevor both die, knowing that Jon is safe at least from them.

Your chara is ADORABLE! how did they feel about tenna at first? Were they creeped out? Or immediate excited and friendly?
I think they’d get along with him pretty easily since Tenna genuinely loves and cares for Asriel, and that’s who Chara is basing their trust on. Plus, Tenna is like the *biggest* pushover and is very fun. I think maybe they might have been confused at first because he’s different than a lot of the monsters, but they quickly accept him.

Drew a bunch of Marinettes in a bunch of different artists styles it was a lot of fun!!
Artists who's styles I mimicked: @buggachat @hamsternamedmarinette @ladybeug @sabertoothwalrus and @anna-scribbles all epic artists 🤟😎
#my art#marinette dupain cheng#miraculous ladybug#miraculous fanart#style mimic#sorry for the @s btw#yall should go follow those artists if you dont already also#this was sort of inspired by a post the three artists on the top row made#i think they all got together and drew with one another#which is really cool#but i was genuinely confused because i mimic styles a lot#and ive seen others do it too so i was just like#wow they really know each others styles really well#until i thought about it and read their posts some more#style mimicking is really freaking fun and i think its really good practice#and a good way to explore other ways of doing things#like you really have to learn new techniques and get out of your comfort zone#also anna scribbles i could not find a recent pic of marinette in her main outfit#so thats the only marinette i drew in different clothes cuz i couldnt find a more recent ref of you drawing it#anna scribble marinette has privileges thats the others dont#but ye#i also threw my own style in there as a frame of reference to what me draw like#ive drawn marinette before just not in a loooong while#sabertooth walrus was the hardest for me to mimic cuz they have a broad range in their style#so its like which sabertooth do i wanna be in this pic#Buggachat has such a distinct style thats very clean and consistent which is amazing so they were easy#being easy or hard arent bad things either it also has to do with like styles meeting up with one another#buggachats and mine arent too too different in some shapes and aspects#so yeah itd be easier plus they drew marinette like 3 sec ago so i have more recent of a ref#as opposed to sabertooth who i have a recent ref of ladybug but not marinette so we got two diff styles in one

I loved your drawing(and I love your style in general) with Leia in your recent post! If/when you have time can we see more of her in your style? I get so happy whenever I actually see people mention/talk about her and she’s not just forgotten because we didn’t get to see much of her. 😭
thank you! 💙💙💙 Leia/Leah/Lea/whatever is fascinating to me. she is the ultimate unknown. what was she like? how involved (or even aware of any details of the invasion) was she? Silver's basically a physical carbon copy of his biodad, so what did he get from her? like, I understand why the two of them kind of have to stay as these super vague and mysterious figures -- the whole point of them is that their story ended 400+ years ago and they're not really relevant anymore (and. well. the more that gets explained about them, the less that can just kinda be handwaved as "oh the politics were Very Messy") (we can sit here and theorize all day but let us acknowledge that, ultimately, canon gave us almost nothing about them post-Meleanor and we'd just be making things up). I do still wonder about her though! RIP Lea, we never knew you and we probably never will.
actually you know what, as long as we're here, I think I WILL go ahead and just make some stuff up about what Silver might've inherited from her instead.
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 13 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 13 spoilers#there may be answers somewhere that i just forgot about so uhhh if so#whoops ( ᐛ )#having one of those art days where chances are good i'm just gonna wake up and throw this post out the window so be warned#but yeah idk. i've talked before about the parallels between silver and dawnatello and how i see him as basically bad end silver#he chose the easy option that let him stay loyal and fulfill the obligation he felt to his adoptive family#he knew it wasn't right and that he was being manipulated but he went along with it anyway until it was too late#i think he ultimately had a good heart but my man folded under the slightest bit of social pressure like a wet mcmuffin#so while i'm continuing to make things up out of whole cloth i wanna say that by contrast#lea never had a chance to do shit but if she had i like to think she would've had a spine like galvanized steel#like just personally i don't think she knew much about what the silver owls were actually doing#seriously does henrik seem like the kind of person who would tell her shit about anything#i think he basically took advantage of their dad's failing health to go off and be a warmonger#and if he thought about lea at all it was to be like :) you stay here and do boring domestic princess stuff#while i tell your husband to Do It For Her#i mean this is 100% me writing baseless fanfic here#i just think it'd be fun if the part of silver that was IMMEDIATELY like 'actually no. we aren't doing this.' might've come from her#she just never got a chance to show it#(it didn't seem to come from the knight is all i'm saying)#lilia might've given silver a billion complexes but at least he raised him to do the right thing#man someone left a reply or reblog on an older post and i cannot find it so i apologize for the lack of credit BUT they pointed out#that one of the big differences between silver and the knight is that the knight's family did not really seem to like him very much and lik#yeah i think so. lea might've been the exception there for him.#rip ma'am we'll never know if you deserved better or not

Gen obsessed with how.. *dead* your Jason's color pallete is. Like, that's corpse pale right there. Not a spec of blood left flowing in there (also father Todd's skin being full of color in comparison is a nice touch)

THANK YOU I love making him look a bit ghoulish. Guy who's not supposed to be alive but yes he is. no he isn't <3
#DC#DC Comics#Jason Todd#Red Hood#Jaybin#Robin ii#Art by me#Asks#I know vitamin D doesn't affect your skin colour BUT the easiest way to get it is sunlight which does ik nobody is bothered by this but me#But I have OCD. so you're getting clarification anyways 👍#Jason's way of saying if you spend too much time underground it's going to start wanting to keep you there 😁#I do think he bleeds normally and has a heartbeat and all that because he's not Dead. Alive? Well no also. He's likeboth at once and neithe#I think his physical state should be full of inconsistencies. you can't see his breath in cold weather but you can if he smokes etc.#There's also appeal to him coming back looking completely normal I do love mundane horror but#His death was important both in and out of universe and it altered things irreversibly so I think he can be a little Off as a treat#Also it adds to the misery that he's the same person like he died and came back the same person internally he's himself but#to others he looks and acts and is offputting he's Jason but Wrongg. Except not really#Because yeah he changed but that's just getting older and being affected by your experiences like everyone else ever#unfortunately for him he popped back to life Like That so everyone is just going eughh what thebfcuk#But that's a little off topic ANYWAYS one thing I really liked about Countdown was Jason being described as a siren in the dark#Like yea he's unsettling even if there's no clear reason as to why yet. He wasn't even doing anything his vibes are just rancid#My ideal Jason is one who looks like he wouldn't be out of place eating someone. He wouldn't. but you know. looming threat#I think he'd have fun indulging in the undead aspect in his more dramatic moments#Also the environment matters like during the day at the store he just seems a bit strange but at night in an alleyway it's uncanny valley#I have more to say on this topic but I'm writing a novel in the tags so I'll wrap it up#To summarize it's basically YOU CAN'T GO BACK YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE AND EVERYONE WHO LOOKS AT YOU CAN SEE IT#Thank you again for this ask I love when people bring up details they like to me because I like putting them in and talking about them#And just talking in general clearly lmao post-crisis really had so much going for it. lots of interesting characters

I understand why people write “other characters close to character X react to fucked up thing that happened to them” fics, it’s cathartic and it’s good character study, but sometimes in the back of my head I’m like “that guy would Not open up about that”
#I know I’ve said this before but the fun thing about the bats is when you say ‘you couldn’t waterboard that shit out of them’ you can mean#it literally. Like I genuinely don’t think that literal actual water boarding could get Dick to open up about the incident with Catalina#in contrast you have Jason in bftc who apparently did tell Bruce that Something Bad happened to him when he was a kid and it got used#against him later so like. That’s never happening again that shit is going in the vault Forever#I guess that’s why a lot of these fics use sci-fi or magic macguffins like truth serum or mind melding#Dc

"Why did you change my name to 'Mr.Eaten?'"
Collaboration with the amazing @foongle! Go check them out!
[Hungry for more? Join my Ko-Fi to see WIPs and extras!]
#Fallen London#Mr. Candles#Mr. Eaten#fallen london spoilers#I think most people know about some of the Mr.Eaten lore at this point but just to be safe I am tagging it.#Foongle's art is so stunning and I feel so lucky to have worked with them on a comic!#I am have been enamoured by how they draw bats and I had a dream! A dream of creating a fun comic with our contrasting styles.#Today that dream has not only blossomed but fruited. Into a comic about a truly horrifying part of Fallen London lore.#For my followers who are not aware of flondon lore but are still reading this: They lured a god-like being into a being eaten alive.#It did not agree to this. It did not die - not fully. But it's presence and pain still haunts the world.#This is the game in which you can opt into a quest that actively begs you to turn back. They call those who continue 'seekers of the name'#This quest will ask you to sacrifice everything you have to keep pursuing a mystery that wants to stay closed.#It's a story about obsession and madness. And also one of never ending grief. It will take you several months of your real life to play.#I love ludonarritves and boy does this one have it in spades.#However I must confess...It took me nearly half a year to clue into what 'Mr. Eaten' meant...I thought it was just a posh sounding name.#Sometimes my brain is selective over what details are important!

im dedicating this to @detectivedarling. i felt inspired after seeing their little ficlet yesterday sadhjfl 🫶
-
Danny's grip on his cane tightens.
"What—"
His voice cracks. He stops, clears it, then tries again in spite of the nausea twisting in his gut. "What are — you, uh, watching, Bruce?" He sounds horribly far away.
Bruce doesn't look at him, his attention laser-focused on the screen. Which is— fine. It's usually not a problem, Bruce gets like that when he hyper-focuses on a case, and unless it's urgent — or he's been at it for hours — Danny sees no need to pull him away from it. He likes the quiet camaraderie they have, it's companionable and unique to the two of them.
He wishes he was right now though. Looking at him, that is.
That way he wasn't watching what was clearly one of Danny's ghost fights. One of the nastier ones, if the collateral damage and rubble on the street is of any indication.
Danny tries to remember which one that is. He shuffles a little closer to the desk, ignoring the rock in his stomach or the ugly weightlessness in his arms. It's not the blood blossoms, that much he knows. He just recently had an injection so it shouldn't be bothering him this soon—
So it's just nerves. Perfect.
Most footage of his fights are— messy, at best. Unusable at worst. Amity Park was obsessed with appearing 'normal' when they first started happening, and typical news stations censor the worst of the fights anyways for publishing, since they can get pretty gory at times. And ghosts move too fast to be caught on regular standard cameras, not including distance and light and—
That is to say— finding usable ghost fight videos is hard.
Danny wonders how Bruce got his hands on this one, and then stops wondering.
The audio is muted, which is - good. Good, because the fight is ugly and chaotic and clearly this was taken on someone's phone. Fuck, he can't remember if he ever saw that before — clearly not. They're hiding behind an overturned car, and Danny grits his teeth so he doesn't tell that idiot to run.
The camera turns up, and focuses on two figures in the air. It takes a few seconds, but when it does, Danny gets hit with a wave of vertigo. His grip tightens and he leans heavily on his cane, he waits for the black dots to disappear.
He- uh, he remembers this fight now. Uh, sort of.
He remembers being twelve at the time, and he remembers some of the injuries he got out of it. His eyelid spasms abruptly. This ghost wasn't one of his regulars, so he doesn't remember whatever name they had, barely remembered what they looked like up until- uh. Now.
Was he always that small? Well— Phantom's never been particularly big, perks of being a dead kid, but— it's - different. Seeing it from an outsider perspective. Was he that small? Or is it just because he's wearing a jumpsuit clearly too big for him that casts the illusion of being small?
Doesn't really - matter. Now. He can't access his ghost form, and he already knows the answers to his appearance.
Phantom is clearly bleeding, viscous and violently green like the bubbles of a lava lamp, clutching onto a limp shoulder that's missing an arm from the elbow down. Half his face is drenched in similar blood, the eye on the drenched side is closed — not because he can't see through the ectoplasm.
Danny's memories of that fight slowly come in a bit clearer. Right. He took a pole to the eye in that one. That had - hurt. A lot. Getting an eye gouged out usually does. It and the missing arm took hours to grow back.
He rubs his eye with his palm for no other reason than it itches.
The other ghost isn't untouched of any injury either, but he's not in a state of dismemberment like Phantom is.
Danny drops his gaze down at Bruce, whose sitting in his chair with his hands threaded together, looking so tense that Danny half expects to meet solid steel if he were to touch his back. His face is - blank. Terribly blank, with an intensity in his eyes that Danny doesn't see often.
He looks terribly distressed.
He opens his mouth, and finds that nothing comes out. His throat is thick with an ugly, tar-like feeling that makes his eyes sting. Kinda reminds him of when someone wraps their hands around your throat and presses. He closes his mouth, then tries again.
"B—" hhhhhh, "Buzz."
Finally Bruce looks at him, one hand slaps the space button on the keyboard, and the video pauses. His expression doesn't shift, but there's a weight in the lines of his face that reminds Danny of a set of weights sagging.
He looks quite like he's grieving something.
Bruce opens his mouth, his voice comes out terribly soft and heartbroken: "He looks like you."
Which is— a terrifying sentence in and of itself. One that makes Danny's legs shake and ignite his ragged, poison-chewed nerves alight with the need to run. An instinctive urge to deny, deny, deny.
How could he? He could say, that's a ghost, Bruce. I'm not a ghost. He could crack a joke, and ask, 'do I look dead to you?' or say something about how he knows that his parents studied ghosts, but that didn't make him one.
He could say that, and he could say it knowing full well that Bruce would see right through it. He'd probably let Danny too.
Danny closes his eyes. They sting, you see? So does his nose, right in the back like someone popped him in the face. And his throat is thick and gross and like someone stuck a spider, the big fat tarantula kind, right down into his esophagus.
He breathes in — through his mouth, because his nose stings and so it'd be best not to irritate it further with air — and it's terribly shaky and uneven. But it clears a pathway to his lungs big enough for him to say — whisper, really:
"You know, I think you're the first person to notice that."
#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dpxdc#dpxdc crossover#dp x dc crossover#blood blossom au#dpxdc au#cw injury#cw gore mention#just to be safe#i got hit with brainworms#blame detectivedarling >:D their ficlet yesterday made me SO happy and i couldn't help but keep thinking about it#and then i was thinking about blood blossom again and couldn't help but want to write something#iii don't know if this is canon to the fic but i DID think it would be a fun 'what-if this is how danny and bruce find out' to make#im not sure how ~that~ reveal will go in fic but i like the idea that danny actually *tells* bruce about being phantom himself#bc throughout the show i dont think he's really had much of a say in the matter of who knows and who doesnt?#like vlad found out when danny passed out and untransformed in front of him. jazz found out via spying and then other times were forced#so there's been a bit of a lack of autonomy in terms of danny revealing his halfa status to people. it'd be a good show of trust for him#to be able to *tell* bruce himself outright rather than bruce find out on his own. and in this context bruce wasn't trying to seek out#phantom's identity either. no he was just looking into amity park and this 'ghost situation' danny told him about. its just that when he#found the ghost fight videos he saw phantom and got this horrible pit in his stomach and promptly went 'oh my god thats my kid'
