When my brothers were younger I wanted to teach about misogynistic tropes in media without scaring them off by presenting the topic right out the gate as serious and aggressive and intimidating so I pointed out one day that movie dudes usually only ever have three motives- 1. Wife, 2. Daughter, 3. Dog.
And now whenever we watch a movie together and a dude character is about to reveal their angst backstory we take guesses if itโs gonna be 1, 2, or 3.
Which is specifically the most fun to do in bad B-list action movies because you can say โItโs a 1โ as it starts and then ten minutes later the ham-fisted Macho Man Tough Guy quietly mentions being married once and you can put your hands in the air and go โAYYY IT WAS 1โ like your team just scored a sportsball goal
Truthfully though I think we need more 3โs
4โs and 5โs, even. Maybe even some 6โs
never thought Disney would be bold enough to address the strain on Nick and Judy's relationship after the abortion
I sent my inner child to work at a steel cable plant to make some extra cash and it got mangled in an industrial accident and died in the hospital so I really don't have to protect it or whatever anymore. good luck with your self care stuff though
i think a bunch of people who follow me are more interested in watching anime adaptations than reading manga but i definitely want to make some manga rec posts bc i mostly read stuff ... i was really glad a lot of people were interested in the dunmeshi manga rec when i wrote it and i yearn to re capture that joy but i know some recs will be a tough sell, especially when they get obscure and have no chance of becoming adapted
I made a booklet on what Medalist is and why people should read it to share at CF18 yesterday!! I didn't print that many and they were all gone so i hope i'm able to Convert some people into reading Peak.
I put the original file on my itch io page so you can print one for yourself if you'd like :) heck, maybe print some and spread them around! Go for it! Embarrass yourself!! It's for a worthy cause.
"if tumblr goes down will you go to twitterclone, twitterclone, twitterclone, twitterclone, youtube, or twitter?"
happy munching for one year (2025->2024)
i've oftentimes held off on posting sketchbook art in the past bc i felt like they weren't "complete" enough to share with people but i've tried to work past that, since i personally love seeing people's unrefined work and their rendered work.
i was curious if you guys would be interested in hearing about anything in specific about my art (or art in general!) and what commentary could be interesting to add on tumblr since the platform is welcoming to text. feel free to reply with more detail/nuance!
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful

oh? my god???
yeah, Exactly like that
So I'm halfway through Gideon the Ninth and how come nobody has told me about Dulcinea?? She's so good, you'd think people would go bonkers over her

Ah, I see.
