Why did I write this

Got to stolen century in my relisten and started tearing up at work because of magnus carving the duck. Just me in the back room, crying over the dish sink for normal reasons.

sometimes i get sad bc there are certain bloggers from ye olden jse fandom circles that have me blocked and i still dont know WHY they blocked me and i ponder if i fucked up. but then i remember aidan "bubbles" corruptedmetadata judgehangman never blocked me and instead experiences the most bizarre askbox horrors possible alongside me so clearly i have never done anything wrong in my life

i need to draw sparks bleeding out but its 12:30 and i have school in like 6 hrs. someone do my work for me /silly

Phoenix: I’m going to be talking shit about you later, but I want to do it right. So why don’t you tell me your pronouns?

Dr. Zor: Hmph. Unlike you blue-haired liberals, I don’t have pronouns.

Phoenix: What? Everybody has pronouns.

Dr. Zor: I don’t. You will refer to me only by my name, Dr. Zor!

Phoenix: Well, at least they get the concept.

Pronoun police: Pronoun police! You said “they” which is not Dr. Zor’s preferred pronoun!

Phoenix: Shit, my bad!

Some more Lander from the Baby Villans’ game v Crystal Palace last night ♥️

A mutual reblogged a pr*ship post and their dni is now neutral. Unfallowed. Bolcked.

I think I might have had a bit of a revalation this fine morning.

Last night, @horizonproblems and I attended this truly amazing talk in a public lecture series on Star Trek that my uni is hosting this term. (It was all about the Third Age of Star Trek and some very valid, nuanced perspectives on hope and optimism and writing utopias under neoliberal capitalism and it was just... amazing. But that's not the point right now XD)

Afterwards, we chatted with the presenter about "Trekademia" (I love that concept so much!). I mentioned I'd seen the call for papers/talks for this lecture series that went out over a year ago (I was working for the English dept. at the time), but I never applied, because the only remotely Trekademic writing I'd ever done was my in-universe essay on holo-sentience and holographic food "The Cake is a Lie". And he asked me to send him a link, even though I never managed to finish writing and it's essentially missing the most interesting section.

But I took the opportunity to reread what I have posted and then look through my WIPs and I realized something: One of the reasons I think I was never able to finish writing the findings section of this "paper" is because I had So Many Ideas that I wanted to weave in. So many little moments with the holos, so many character facets and worldbuilding snippets. And it doesn't work with the extremely academic tone I'm going for.

And after sleeping on it, it occurred to me: I can still post all the outtakes that don't make it into the actual paper! I can keep the tone and focus of that essay and cut out any extraneous bits that don't work in that fram -- and then post a separate work that's like... the researchers field notes or something, where I put aaaalll the little details that didn't make the cut of the official writing!

It will be in bullet points and disconnected and self-indulgent as all heck -- but I'm sure there will be at least a handful of people out there apart from me who would still enjoy that particular take on various holo-headcanons. And even if I'd only be writing it for me, that would still be allowed!

So, no promises that anything might happen, but I just wanted to put it out there as a reminder to myself, if nothing else. Being deeply attached to your ideas and self-indulgent bits of writing is allowed! And even if you need to cut them from the concrete story you're trying to tell because they hurt the pacing or structure or tone, that doesn't mean you have to completely abandon them. There are always ways to share your outtakes and additional notes, on AO3 or tumblr or Discord or whatever, and you're always allowed to share them. Even if nobody but yourself will get a kick out of them, you're still allowed!

(And chances are, somebody else will be interested in reading your rambling thoughts and delighted to find them, actually.)

Well my review of barbie is that i cant wait to go see bottoms next week

Dick Grayson who is hyper aware of the types of cases the Robins take on and the subjects they are exposed to bc he knows how difficult it was to be treated as a competent adult at 11 years old

vs

Dick Grayson who is very casual about subjects that might be inappropriate for the Robins when they are kids bc he has no frame of reference on what is appropriate bc he was exposed to those subjects at such an early age

FIGHT

Random limlife Scott rant, GO!

I got this ask and decided that I’d give it my best shot but got so mad on my skim through some of the moments I remembered that I gave up.

Shocked and scandalised a coworker by admitting I read something as common and vulgar as a murder mystery.

God the Marvel film rights debacle is the decision that haunts me the most of any of the bad decisions made by the big 2 companies ever. Both because I am one of the six people who think you can do something interesting with the Inhumans and everything about their X-Men 2: electric boogaloo push caused me psychic damage, but also because Marvel didn’t just fuck over the X-Men, they fucked over the Fantastic Four for the same reason. They canceled that book right before the terrible Fox movie came out and didn’t bring it back until they secured the film rights, pretty much the longest the F4 went without a series since 1961. Just, the fact they tried to push out two of their flagship teams purely over film rights, they could not be more transparent about using these comics as movie promotion instead of seeing it as a medium onto itself it’s so frustrating.

it's SO bizarre like genuinely one of the weirdest times in (recent) comic book history. i can't even like… follow the logic of wtf they were even TRYING to do??

like with most decisions, even the ones i absolutely despise, i can at least kinda see what they were going for, y'know? dc's past few years of constant reboots, for example: bane of my existence. dumb as fuck. but if you take a step back and look at it objectively, it's like. ok. i can see why someone would think that would be a good idea at the time. they were wrong, but i can see what they were going for

mid-to-late-2010s film rights meltdown marvel though?? i literally have no idea what the fuck they were even going for. it's not even a case of the cinematic/tv universe bleeding back into the comics because it had nothing to do with anything that was actually happening in the mcu & they were making changes for movies/shows that hadn't even (and in the inhumans movie's case, never would) come out

they really were just trying to use the comics as advertising for the mcu, and that is just… so insane???? what planet are you living on that you think a significant enough percentage of the mcu's viewership is coming from comic book readers to make something like that in any way successful????? 90% of mcu fans have never picked up a comic book in their life, and the ones who have are literally the only people you do not need to advertise to. they are already fans. why are you trying to advertise to the one group you've already got 100% locked down by fucking up the thing you locked them down WITH

and it's the same thing with fantastic four and the x-men?? what the fuck did they think they were accomplishing by trying to push the franchises they were actively trying to get the rights for out of the spotlight & make them less relevant & popular while they were, again, actively trying to get the rights for them.

like did they actually think the viewer base of the fox movies was… coming from people who actively followed the comics??? and not just people who liked original xmcu/f4 movies?? did they actually think pulling the current f4 book & holding their comics hostage would have some sort of noticeable effect on the movies' success??

it's so baffling. this is another thing i would love a whole true crime style docuseries diving into because just. what in the fuck

Neuvillette: *talks about the weird random laws of Fontaine, including that you're not allowed to name your domesticated animals after Furina*

me, who is literally adopting a new puppy soon and had already decided prior to this news I was going to name her Furina: I don't believe in that law I think someone else made up that law specifically to thwart Furina. did you see her playing with that cat? she loves animals.
