what if we were both girls and we were in a toxic yuri office situationship would that be fucked up or what

am i the only idiot here who vehemently does NOT want black/white remakes

lost kids, sleeping <3 do not interrupt

i wanted to draw little holly sleeping in the woods but i was like 'heey they look like they're sleeping ON something...' AND UM. I GOT. CARRIED AWAY??

for now my idea is that holly got lost in the gardens and met a Shadow that were lost too. HONESTLY IDK WHAT THEY WERE DOING NEXT UUUUHH. TRAVELLING?? AHBEBE it's hard to make a story with Holly since they were,, busy because of the 'saving the kingdom' thing.. I don't think they'll even be able to get lost, especially in Queen's Gardens😭😭

but umm i like the colors i like the vibe and maybe I'll just draw more sketches with them just walking around getting into situations and becoming besties. WHY NOT

I drew this during Matpat’s last episode

I’m not crying you’re crying

(Also at the end the multiple endings thing was awesome & really funny)

[Image description: A digital drawing based on the film Evil Dead Rise. It's styled like a poster with different, overlapping elements. At the forefront is Jessica floating upwards, arms outstretched. She is covered in shadows and water drops off of her silhouette. Her hair sticks to her head. Above her, there's two panels. One shows Ellie's eyes as a deadite and the other shows her mouth as one. The first has her looking to the side from a 3/4 view of her face. The other has her head tilted to the side, mouth stretched wide in a grin. Dark blood drips from her lips. To the side of these is a full drawing of Ellie's face contorted in a shriek. Her eyes glow and her hair falls down in front of the panel beneath her. The panel is of a pool of blood. This is behind Jessica too. In front of her, but still in the panel, is the text "evil dead rise" in red. The background is a desaturated purple with blood splatters surrounding it.]

Film - Evil Dead Rise (Lee Cronin, 2023)

y'know, back when we first started getting teases and leaks about a potential Persona 3 remake, me and a friend of mine broke out a spreadsheet to go over our pipe dream what-if best case scenarios for a revamped list of social links (which honestly might be worth going over in some detail now that we have the actual remake coming out so soon), but of all of the stuff on there, i'm still so happy that this actually turned out to be real

hi what

Being so brave about the fact that I have lost all of my Sims files and not crying 🙂👍

Death comes... dressed in leather!!

Sometimes I'll come across a shitty Tumblr post or article or YouTube cash grab that points a finger at the newest big thing, or some recent trend in storytelling, or whatever. And it thinks it's doing me a favor, like:

"You idiot. You fool, you precious little complete fucking moron. Don't you understand this thing you like is PRODUCT? Don't you know you are just being made a slave to PRODUCT, and it's actually not awesome, and it's not actually smart it's basic, and you could be feeling something beautiful and true but instead you've been tricked and you're chewing your cow food like a mooing baby?"

And some people fall for it like 'aw gee Rick, I was all excited for this thing until I learned it was basic and I'd be a moo-baby'.

Do you know how goddamn stupid execs and studio heads are? They have no idea what works. They get something that people respond to and they just start throwing different versions of that same thing at the wall until the returns diminish. They're terrified of anything new until someone with enough money and heat backs it, at which point they'll use even a hint of failure to justify why it was a mistake the whole time.

This means we need to support different and unique things. But it also means that if something went right, if something resonates with enough people, it's usually for a reason. Even if there were reliable triggers that got flipped in our brain - they often got tripped by something interesting or different. Something that was done with love, and that inspired love, and was unique even if the thing had old bones.

Or it was dumb shiny fun but it did something nobody else was doing, which is also worth celebrating. That's art too.

I promise you're allowed to love things. I promise you can ask for innovation and depth and whatever, and demand for ethics and diversity, and also be excited by PRODUCT. The parts of PRODUCT that are any good are still made by creators who give a shit. And they're part of the evolution of how we tell stories and make art just like everything else.

yeah okay i finished episode 4 of the live action atla series and... i'm not in a hurry to keep watching. i was moderately happy with the first episode and was hopeful that we'd continue uphill as with the original series but atm nothing is really compelling me to keep watching. it's not a train wreck by any means and there have been a few good scenes but it's just incredibly milquetoast. i knew and even hoped that it would be different to the original series but i feel like the priority was to cover as many plot points/moments of the original atla and forgetting about the core of the characters and relationships. when... if you're going to do any sort of decent remake it should be the other way around. i would much rather we forget about episodes/plots like Jet and the Tinkerer and Secret Tunnel and Omashu/Bumi and create new stories that take the characters on a similar emotional journey. i do like the new Aang and i think the actor is doing really well but it just feels wrong that his arc this season is about wanting to save the Northern Water Tribe and we ignore his conflict aversion and y'know. him actually learning waterbending. and it's been said before but Katara's character is just completely unrecognizable from her original character. i feel like the writers chose to remove some of her bossy and overbearing traits to avoid sexism? i guess? same with Sokka. (ignoring the fact that even if it was clumsy, the original series very much did deal with the sexism it presented.) but i think the series just forgot to give Katara other character traits.

the look of the series is great and nothing is bad, it just was so afraid of being like The Movie That Doesn't Exist or betraying the fans that it was caught in a weird place where it was mimicking the original series & avoiding risks without trying to actually capture the characters. in other words – pretty typical remake/sequel syndrome. i'll probably get around to watching it sometime but i'm not in any hurry.
