Yesterday my dad took me out for lunch and errands but stopped before he left the house to ask if I’d be ashamed to be seen with my hick dad while he wore bib overalls.

I laughed in his face and came back dressed like this:

We have had numerous arguments about whether I dress like a hick or like I’m gay. Look, Dad, a fella can be both. 

Thanks! This is the most haunting idea ever planted in my brain and I won’t be able to unsee it unless I dramatically change my look.

How To Propose To Your Ex-Husband: A Guide by Erik Lehnsherr & Tony Stark

some people are very mad at the implication that the LN world is ~All A Dream~ but i dont think thats exactly it? like to me it seems very clear that the ln world is a real place, and all that happens in it is real. i think that what's happening is that when they go to sleep, their consciousness is transported into this paralel reality (the Nowhere) and they leave once they awaken, but as they spent more and more time there they slowly succumb to whatever powers or entities rule that world and they become trapped there. its like. kind of like the dark worlds in deltarune, or the other world in coraline, or the upside down in stranger things, or the fear reality/ies in the magnus archives you get the idea

those entities seem to both feed off of and be created by childrens fear, a paradoxical "it exists because children fear it and children fear it because it exists" thing. in an interview a dev said that "something happened before in [the kids] lives that made them a good fit for little nightmares" and i think that "something" is being traumatized: you have more nightmares that way.

something interesting about six specifically is that she's always described as being from somewhere else, not belonging 'here', etc, one description even says she "awoke in a world she cannot recognize" which. straight up confirms shes Not From This World, but like, if all of the kids came here because of nightmares whats different about her? why do they apparently 'belong' in the nowhere but she doesnt? maybe she has, like, too much willpower to succumb to the powers or something and thus doesnt belong with the other kids trapped here who have all given up, but then again shes also described to be "fading away from this world" at the start of ln2 which does seem to mean that shes succumbing to it? like, giving up and fading away? idk idk

bandai website description, issue 1 of the comic

also from the bandai namco website. six's "terrible fate" might be her succumbing to depression or whatever but have no idea why guiding mono to the signal tower would be important? maybe its not actually about the tower and its just about having a purpose and a friend to hold on to so she still has hope

ok heres my tinfoil hat theory: obv the podcast, the devs, promotional material and concept art all seem to be saying that ''kids go to a nightmare world when they go to sleep and sometimes get trapped there" is whats happening, but this post theorizes that maybe the nightmares noone in the podcast is having are prophetic and like. the nightmares explained video says that "the nightmares are crossing into the real world". what if what happened is that vulnerable kids who kept having nightmares were going to this future reality where the world got fucked up because of these entities, and maybe whenever they succumbed to them the entities were able to use their bodies to cross into our world, which eventually led to them being able to take over? resulting in the future fucked up reality kids were going to in their dreams? its not like little nightmares is unfamiliar with time paradoxes thats basically what happened to mono. idk!!!!

i keep bringing up other media but im not really comparing them im just using similsr exampled to explain what i mean bc its so weird i cant think of how else to do it. anyways what if the kids who fully give up and succumb to the fear become like the goners frok undertale. everyone just forgets they ever existed

annotating the avengers endgame script like a romance novel

The Cornetto scene is so funny and cute, but it also makes me feel so acutely for Henry. Like, there are moments in the book where I went 'oh, ouch, this poor guy's in love with someone he thought hated him' but, because it's from Alex's POV it's more hinted at earlier on than blatant (until later in the book)

But seeing the way Henry looks at Alex in that scene, even after he heard what he said to Nora? Mega ouch! He's so in love and he can't talk about it and he thinks Alex hates him and he still loves him and I just...

And he was keeping it together too! (Like props to him for being a bitch right back to Alex lol) And then Alex grabs his hand and you finally see that composure waver and, ugh, I’m going to need several moments

GHOST FILES TOUR, WE’RE GOING

"Battle Ravaged Spider-Ham Action Figure with Web-Slinging Action + Bonus Accessories!" Mixed media sculpture Approx. 5.25" tall (excluding base)

Here's my late entry into Gallery Nucleus's "Let's Do This One More Time: Across the Spider-Verse" exhibition, currently on view till August 20th.

This one was a LOT of hard work and took so much time that unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to the opening of the show. It's on display now though and I'm super happy with how it turned out, so I hope you'll check it out in person if you're in the area!

As hard as it was to execute (the web design on his suit alone took forever!) I still enjoyed translating Spider-Ham into an action figure and deciding how a cartoon character like him might show "damage" in the grand action figure tradition of a "battle damaged/ravaged" version of a character (or "dino-damaged" for anyone else who had Jurassic Park toys growing up). I also liked how the accessories turned out, particularly that mallet! It looks plucked right out of a cartoon. By the way, the limbs are meant to look articulated and he has a web-shooter with a button but the limbs don't actually move and he doesn't actually shoot webs so if you end up getting this piece please don't try 😅

Also for those curious, these pieces are made with Sculpey!

My latest sticker sheet, which of these do you relate to?

Lisa Takeuchi Cullen's words on writers and AI

This is the stuff Visual Artists were talking about last year with the AI art generator discussion. And it’s seeping pretty quickly into other jobs and other industries.

And Hollywood already has a problem with showing representation and putting out stories that speak of the wealth and richness of BIPOC. Like imagine AI writing Reservation Dogs? Atlanta? Everything Everywhere All At Once?

if you want a good indicator of where this is all headed, look to the translation industry. ai and auto translate more or less gutted that industry and publishers ended up re-hiring full time translators and writers as contractors or freelance and at a pittance of a salary to "fix" the translation they got automatically. they also hired overseas scabs (scabs meaning non union work but these ppl had no choice bc well, capitalism) which is why most online seo sounds completely unnatural and bizarre to a native speaker. even tech support abroad has this issue. because the rich cannot divest themselves from cheap/free/exploitative labour, quality tanks as a whole and we're worse off because of it.
