Just finished episode 8 of Scott Pilgrim and that was the worst adaptation of all time, you know on account that it wasn’t an adaptation at all. Let’s be honest, as great as the Scott Pilgrim comic series and movie were, they were undeniably written in the 00’s, and some jokes didn’t age very well, and if this show had been a 1:1 with the comics it would have been great but I don’t know if it would have been unforgettable, but what we got instead? Not only will I never shut up about it, I could watch 2, maybe 3 more seasons of it. This kind of concept, where something changes at the start of a popular story and everything after that is completely different, shouldn’t be limited to AO3 fanfiction and Marvel’s What If comic one-shots, maybe this is how a horse gets beaten but I want to see more shows like this. 10/10, no notes, can’t wait for next season.

Also, a week ago, when I thought this was going to be a 1:1 with the comics, my AMV idea for this was going to be Skillet’s Feel Invincible, but I don’t think that one is gonna work anymore and I’m out of ideas 😑. If anyone knows a good song that would go well with this season, I’m all ears.

Ember's Music Emporium

When he became King, Danny had not banned the ghosts from earth but asked them to be discreet, so instead of giving concerts that were extremely flashy, Ember decided to open a music store.

It was complicated to find a good location since she wanted to go far away from Amity, but she was aware that not all cities would accept strangers and it could be dangerous for her if they found out she was a ghost.

Money was not so difficult, Ember had collected several things during her unofficial concerts, among them: cash (besides, Danny was willing to sponsor her if that wasn't enough), and musical instruments were even easier to find as Skulker loved to build them and wanted to help her.

In the end, her little music store set up in Gotham (rusty laws, natural ecto, crazies everywhere and lots of people who looked extremely colorful, she assumed they would take her as one).

She and Skulker worked very hard at turning the dusty place they bought into something nice where everyone was welcome; they also made it a sort of temporary home, seeing as they couldn't go to the Infinite Realms every day.

And everything was a success until someone tried to attack their little business; naturally the ghosts protected it and very soon, a rare scarecrow was hit by one of Skulker's bombs.

It didn't cause much damage but it definitely drew attention. Many tried to attack after this and they kept responding (Skulker much more excited than she was about the whole thing).

But Ember was determined to not call Danny, she was sure they would get scolded about attacking people and not going unnoticed as they promised (although the rude people attacked them first and none of them were dead, or Danny would have come).

When some weird guys in bat costumes started trying to sneak into her humble music store (and they didn't even bother to pretend to be customers like the nice guy in the red helmet), she decided that maybe it was time to call the halfa. Things had gotten a little out of hand.

Why do you have to manage everything by yourself?

IM SO IN LOVE WITH VAMPIRES!! and boy do i love THE SUCKENING!! VERY excited to see the misadventures of sad wet cat, sharp angry cat, and the COOLEST cat i ever did see

hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

I feel like there’s no middle ground for me when it comes to things like fandoms or media content. I either have casual disinterest in something, a complete turnoff from something, or deep dive obsessive all-consuming passion for something. I really can’t imagine being a casual viewer/listener of something. Anything I like becomes my new personality and I’m watching/listening to that media 24/7, finding new blorbos, investing in new ships, and completely absorbing myself into that new show or movie or music like it’s my livelihood and I can’t breathe without it

looking at the lyrics of color your night and seeing the ryomina of it all..............

it's about someone experiencing the things you already know for the first time. it's about having your perspective of the things in your life become dulled and indifferent through familiarity but get brightened by seeing someone else's eyes sparkling at the sight of the same things. it's about seeing the joys of the small things again through the eyes of another.

it's about having your life colored in by learning to live!!!!!

another one of the reasons i really like andor is because small, seemingly insignificant actions have consequences in andor. in the first episode, cassian kills two security guards. in any other star wars film or tv show if that happens, we cut to the next scene. the protagonist is already moving on, the story is moving on to the next beat, the dead guards don't matter lets get to the main plot!

and to be fair, in other star wars media it probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense to focus on such a small action. luke skywalker kills two of jabba's guards as he makes his escape and because of that another guard in jabba's palace vows vengeance..... nobody cares lets get to the main plot. we're here for the epic family drama.

but in andor, our main character isn't a skywalker. and the makers of andor are telling us a very different story compared to the one we're used to. in this story, every small decision has impact. cassian killing those guards creates a domino effect that leads to him ultimately joining the rebellion. even his decision before that, going to morlana one in the first place, directly impacts the story. because of cassian's actions, he brings syril and his security officers to ferrix and so many other people are impacted. people are forced to make choices and the plot truly just unfolds from there.

i love this because its just such a fun and compelling way to tell a story. its really character focused, and when you have well written characters and compelling dialogue paired with it - you really care. you care what happens to these people. you care about what decisions they make and what consequences they'll face. there's nothing inherently wrong with the approach of other star wars media that takes a large scale approach to storytelling, but for me andor's grounded storytelling is just so much more fun to watch. it works hand in hand with the other choices the creators made to keep you invested. it builds tension because you're always waiting to see what cassian will do and how it will affect the world and people around him.

i love this decision for this show because instead of the story and the choices of the protagonist being controlled by the powers that be (the force, destiny, a prophecy, etc etc) it puts the power of decision and control in the hands of cassian

personally wanna thank the sudden LAD8 news for letting me win cowboy kirby from the new gacha machine at ebisu today

Just finished episode 5 of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and I continue to be in absolute awe at the things that this show is doing to the Scott Pilgrim cannon, which previously consisted of 7 comic books, 1 movie and 1 side scroller game (I think???). Wallace Wells is a god among men and just like Todd, I don’t know if I’ll ever be over him.

so many of you talk about the cruel adults in your childhood that negatively effected you and caused lifelong insecurity yet you're still perfectly fine with being that mean stranger to any kid that has the misfortune of existing around you and thats just really gross !!!

.

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)

i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise

the craziest thing i haven’t seen yet about midnight museum is the High Priestess saying “dome is the lord and at the end of times i will be the only worshipper by his side” like khatha isn’t right there. please look at who you are talking to. like if anyone is going to be there at the end for the act of worshipping it will be the man who kneeled at dome’s feet not even metaphorically but literally

Kyana picked up the Archon Robes during my last DAO play session, but the in-game design isn’t very her or very Tevinter, so I drew my own take on it.

Also, trying an alternative look for her eye markings, one that’s both easier to draw and looks more like magic scars.
