I really liked this template so I put together a set for my four years in danmei (mostly MDZS).

I'm honestly super surprised with how much I've managed to draw over the last few years. Art is just one of my many hobbies (the greatest of which is dozing in and out of sleep while reading fanfiction in bed) so for me to have churned out this much is... unlike me haha.

Anyway, you can kind of tell I started running out of steam in 2023 but I'm gonna try and get my mojo back for next year so!! Ganba me, ganba!!

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!

for the first time since early 1938 (that isn’t a returnee, as is the case with Friz Freleng) Warner’s invites a new director to the stand: Norm McCabe. in spite of such a short career—drafted into the military in late 1942 and the studio reaching capacity upon his 1946 return–he proved to have one of the longest careers out of any of the directors (and being the last to pass away in 2006), even working for Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment in the ‘90s on such shows as Tiny Toons and Animaniacs to name a few.

having gotten his feet wet co-directing with a Bob Clampett out on sick leave, Robinson Crusoe, Jr. is the first short to truly put his skills to the test: a burlesque of the ever popular Daniel Defoe novel (whose lack of lampooning now is pretty apparent) with Porky as the titular castaway.

[brandirecognition]

2023 was a funky year (including work that I can't share + going to grad school) but I still made some neat pieces! on to the next one

[prime-crime-time]

holy fuck I just realised the protagonist in candyman (2021) was suddenly successful with his art because the white art critic loved seeing herself over seeing black people in his previous paintings it was a critique of self-indulgent white people in art who gatekeep from non-conforming pocs

anyways, after sitting on my bookshelf for almost exactly 3 years i read all the light we cannot see.

[akakumoeteru]

Happy New Years everyone!! Today is my third anniversary in MDZS so I wanted to put together a three year summary of the art I've done in that time. It's sure... been three years. Here's to hoping I get to draw a ton of Wangxian for a fourth year as well!

The Last Rite (2021)

A medical student suffering from sleep paralysis finds herself plagued by a demonic entity, after moving in with her boyfriend.

Director/Writer: Leroy Kincaide

Production House: Nocturnal

Runtime: 1h 47m

where to watch: hulu

score: 4/10

Legit: every time I see this movie’s image, I think I haven’t seen it before, and then I see it in my notes and I’m like “what?”

There is the heavy implication that this is an exorcism movie, but it reads as more of a haunting/monster feature. The demon/exorcism element doesn’t even come in until part three.

It’s a bit hamfisted in its metaphors. It makes the male lead debilitatingly stupid. Especially since it doesn’t turn out that he’s like… staging the haunting to gaslight the female lead, which was what I thought in the beginning. No, he really is Just Like ThatTM. Which doesn’t work for the type of voice they’re making. Is the monster a metaphor for the abuse? Is it her latent desire to stand up for herself manifesting as a monster? I don’t know?!!

The lead actress KILLS with her possessed acting though. Very Exorcism of Emily Rose and I love a good contortionist. The two priests’ dynamic also salvages the movie in the last act.

but neither can save the movie entire from being just… Meh.

i have started a list of bigfoot movies on letterboxd

[ducktracy]

doing that thing i did once before where i upload a menagerie of my Garageband Meddlings of cues/songs/blips/etc that are either too brief to post on their own or too unfinished. 95% of these are just studies of pre-existing Carl Stalling scores HAHA (that some of you may recognize! some of you may not! i’ll put sources in tags) but HEY! i tried to organize them from most substantial/finished to least

[lestbian]

my brother bought a new mini fridge so i bought his old one for fifty dollars. not a bad deal at all right but he’s cleaning out the old one and graciously gives me a bunch of limited edition mountain dews and i THOUGHT this was a kind gesture but they EXPIRED TWO YEARS AGO.

Year of the Reaper by Makiia Lucier

Pages: 352 Published: 9 Nov 2021 My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Content warnings at the end

Both versions of the cover are absolutely stunning, and as soon as I started reading, I knew I was going to love this book.

From the get go, the picture the author paints of this universe is so fraught with tension and fear, it becomes instantly terrifying in the way only ordinary and real-life things are. Even though the author started writing this book in 2018 and thus was not inspired by the recent pandemic, I think no one alive today can remain unaffected by the genuine dread a world ridden with plague inspires. My first thought when I realized Cas was 18 was to roll my eyes and think, why are these characters always so young, why couldn't he have been 22 or something. But then you get to meet him and know him better and your heart breaks because yes, this boy is too young, and that's the whole point. Cas has spent the last three years in absolute hell, he's been irreparably changed by it, but he is still a boy. He's kind, and sensitive, and even though he's technically a man now, he's still so young in all the ways that matter. Every time he swallowed back tears, I wanted to reach through the pages and pull him into a hug. He is so loved, so cherished by everyone around him, it's so beautiful to see. Especially because it feels genuine. And yes, he's smart, strong, he has really good instincts and he saves the day as a main character is wont to do, but he's also kind, flawed, afraid, vulnerable, and so very, very human. He's so tired of death, so tired of suffering, but instead of turning into a bitter, jaded man, he retains the kindness and gentleness that made everyone hold him in such high regard in the first place. I think things would probably be different if he had found a different situation waiting for him in Palmerin, but regardless, he's so good, even if he doesn't believe so himself. I absolutely love how savage he is in the first flash back, by the way. The descriptions and the mental pictures I got as the story unfolded were so clear that it felt like watching a movie at times, I swear. And this scene in particular is so damn striking. And the hunt for the killer. Throughout the whole story, you're following Cas as he tries to figure out who tried to kill the baby prince when he arrived in Palmerin, and the author is leaving you crumbs and clues for you to reach a very obvious conclusion only to rip the rug from under you in a wonderfully constructed shocking reveal. I'm sure many people guessed who the killer was, but I'll admit the author totally had me fooled. It was an absolute pleasure to find out I was wrong. Cook's son in the corner absolutely broke my heart. I loved this book's take on spirits and afterlife. It's was nothing exceptionally different or groundbreaking, but it felt original in its own way. I loved the lynxes. Such a tiny detail, but I loved the idea of a city littered by pet lynxes, what a choice. And the fact that all of them gravitate toward Cas is wonderful. The surprise queer representation! However small and sad, I loved that the king’s answer to it was to imply half his military is queer too. Reading the author's note at the end and realizing it was inspired by a real story was also very cool. I think I would read more stories about this universe if the author decided to turn this into a series, but it also works perfectly as a standalone. The writing is incredible, the kind that makes you forget you're reading because you're completely absorbed by the story, the plot is great, the characters are fully fleshed and three dimensional, and it has just the right amount of hope and happy endings that you finish the book with a smile on your face even though it's filled with so many heartbreaking things. Content warnings: implied torture, gore, illness, amputation, human experimentation, black plague
