HEY EVERYONE READING THIS if you love witches/gore/horror/very sexy people PLEASE PLEASE tap into the The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself on netflix! season 1 is out rn and it’s one of the best YA fantasy shows ever made.
vfx, cinematography, acting, score, character development, lgbt rep etc are all 10/10 PLUS it has a bisexual black man as the lead who is the center of a throuple 🙏🏼 netflix has been horrid with marketing but I have faith in this little show (and it’s been praised by critics!) so lets get them their renewal 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
EDIT: it got cancelled and I expected nothing better from a streaming platform which actively kills its shows with people of colour at the forefront. anyway if you’re still planning to watch the show please do so because it’s genuinely good and the ending can be seen as definitive! congrats to the team for managing to make such an excellent show and they deserved so, so much better than being forced to perform in one MONTH and getting cancelled right after with no room to breathe

"I hate how they're writing Damian in Batman #146, he can't be that dumb, he's so ooc."
I mean, they're writing him almost as if he were a literal child who wants, no, needs to believe that his father's ideals aren't as fucked up as his mother's, who blindly believes in the man whom he learnt to trust despite being raised with widely different beliefs and ideals for the majority of his so-far short life.
Almost as if Damian were a pre-teen, or young teen at most (because how old can he be here, 13? 14?) who desperately clings onto the belief, onto the hope that his father hasn't really abandoned him, because his father is Batman, and Batman always has a plan, doesn't he? Obscure, complex, but a plan nonetheless, and it (almost) always turns out fine, so Damian needs to trust him, he knows he can, he knows that Batman is safe.
Logically, everyone else is older; I think the one whose age he's closest to might be Tim here, who's about 18 as usual, I guess. But Damian is a child, he's a child who's overall relatively new to Batman's antics, and he's a child who (unfortunately) rarely saw the difference between Batman and Bruce Wayne, a child who rarely got to meet Bruce Wayne at all, if you think of it.
You (you readers, not the characters in the story - because it makes sense for them to be so lost in the plot of their world that they lose sight of things) cannot blame a child for being delusional for believing with his whole heart that his father is not an evil bastard who's attacking everyone, allies included, family included. Because again, Damian doesn't really have a clear idea of how Batman and Bruce Wayne differ, he rarely got the priviledge to be with his father, Bruce Wayne, and not with his work partner, Batman.
You (readers) cannot really tell me that you're putting the blame on a child for 'snapping out of it' so late.
Of course, everyone is free to have their opinions, and if you think that this version of Damian is ooc or whatever, it's a valid, let's agree to disagree. But from a narrative pov, you can't possibly deny that it makes sense for Damian to be acting like this. He's a child, a literal child.
Expecting him to regulate his emotions as well as his sibs do is messed up. Which, by the way, they don't. Dick is a mess but keeping it together - except for the whole "punching your father senseless" thing, but good for him, I'd have done the same there. Jason is a mess and doesn't try to hide it, Steph is baffled and Babs is exhausted. The others are nowhere to be seen (and I'd have done the same pt2). Tim's the only one with a plan that's actually somewhat good - hope he makes Bruce snap out of his fear-induced little gateaway once and for all.
I know not many are fans of this run, but honestly? I'm digging it, it's possibly one of my faves. I love the drama, love the angst, love the plot-twists, like Damian snapping out of it just for Zur to silence him? Backup Robin who grins suspiciously like Jason? Tim ditching his phone - which is ossibly the most shocking thing? I'm hyped as hell.
All of this endless yapping to say that, okay, feel free to hate this or whatever, but please be humble enough to admit that Damian is being written exactly like he should be. I get it, DCAU gave us "Damian who talks like an old man, who never smiles and doesn't understand his peers" and it's cool. He's a bit like that in the comics too. But newer comics have a (very welcome, imho) tendency to write him as 'awkward' while simultaneously keeping in mind that he's a teen. And it's the best thing ever.
I, for one, needed reassurance at Damian's age. I needed an anchor and that anchor were my parents - growing up, the dynamics shifted but it's not the point. At 13, 14, or whatever Damian's age is, you're just a child who needs reassurance, because you're changing, the world around you is changing, and you're disoriented as if lost at sea. Writing Damian like that makes sense, it's not even up for debate.
He's not ooc, and he's not dumb either.
He's just a child.
Feel free to dislike how they're writing him, feel free to dislike literally every single detail about everything, this is a free world. But please don't tell me that needing a parental figure to be there for you, and that siding with said parental figure no matter what because they're essentially all you got left (rip batfam I guess?) - is ooc for a child. Damian is a child, don't forget that.

Hello fandom. I understand that very few of you will care about my personal opinion, and that's fine, but I find it important enough to how I run my blog to share anyway.
In the future, all of my posts will simply be avoiding any mention of Wilbur wherever possible. His character is a major part of Tallulah's story, but I will be keeping him away from my blog as much as I can.
Typically, I would go with a "death of the author" approach and keep mentions of the character and cc more separate. However, the cc's alleged quest for money and fame changes that entirely. I will not be contributing to that. That's just my personal choice, so there should be no shame to anyone who chooses to separate the two, obviously.
I watched Shubble's video and I saw his response. In my opinion, it was terrible. The way he centralized his own "growth," minimized the pain he caused, and left the actual apology on the second page is revealing. His statement reminds me of some of the past emotional abuse I've experienced, so his content will no longer be welcome on my blog. I believe in the merit of archiving, so I will not be deleting any past posts, but he will no longer have any place in my death family related tags.

do you know anything about how using an editor works? Like do they send in the raw footage and the editor does whatever based on their style of editing or do they send the footage with a bunch of pointers of things to cut/include and the editor goes from there?
it depends completely from person to person! so you either just get sent raw footage and do what you want with it but then after you’ll send it back and forth for re edits based on feedback until you get something everyone is happy with or you’ll get sent footage with a brief that tells you what is wanted from the edit and you do as your told (i like to do what i’m told as one edit and do what client wants as another and then send them both cos sometimes they’ll realise your edit is better than what they wanted lmao) also in this scenario you go back and forth with different versions too.
i imagine in a dnp context they probably have a list of must have and pls avoids that they send and then tbh judging by some of the edits in spooky week they probably let the editor have control of editing style

Ok, them meeting Bendy’s original? 4’8 adult (IM Bendy) meets his 3’0 adult original counterpart (OG/BATDRBendy) (or if you see him as a child. I personally see him as an adult since he’s just the ink Demon in a smaller more cuter ‘innocent’ form.)
Also I like how you break into hyperfication because same LMAO!
oh dude brainy is gonna kill me over this one i gotta move carefully
but. i have a funny vision over BATDR bendy in the same way i have a funny vision over boris seeing sarah in his head (*points* theyre just like me(they're not). im joking of course, i dont hc either of them to have did or anything of the like, but it does mean i see them from a system perspective and i can't help but see this dangerous beast demon suddenly switch into a small vunerable child with a completely different personaly and not think about system littles even if i don't see him having did in the slightest
now. as to how im bendy would react, ignoring the entire "wtf you're me(existential crisis)" part i thiiink. i think it could be somewhere between very stressful and very familiar to im bendy. im bendy is someone who finds his comfortzone at the simplicity of being an older brother, he naturally cares about other people and if someone that is young and needs help comes to him he's going to be kinder he's going to be gentle he raised himself to be this person that toom care of an entire other child while he himself was a child so it comes as naturally as breathing! but the moment this harmless form turns into that beast with that raspy voice and this personally of projecting his own insecurities onto others, bendy's going to be familiar in a bad way because this is absolutely the kind of thing this quest would put him through, either pre labyrithn or post labyrithn he's gonna be tense and attentive and aware of this threat but post labyrithn bendy is going to react more badly because he did get more skilled at self defense fighting in there buuuut he also got thrice as much trauma and self doubt and that ink beast is definitely gonna manage to hit that oneee sensitive spot of "you're a monster just like me".
but i personally prefer to consider more pre-labyrithn bendy for personal reasons, or at least if i'm considering post-labyrithn bendy i'd rather think about how my partner(whatsafelony on ao3 and on the ima/ims) would characterize him because his characterization of him is 👌mwah(if you read the @inkymysteryanimatedpilot 's script the characterizations were heavily changed both because we had a time limit and because he was the one writing, and God did his little changes add charm. never forget the "[clocks in]at least im being paid to argue" line that he added saying "thats something i do on my own job and very bendy coded i need to make him say that"). and i don't think he'd write bendy's guilt this way at all. i can't say for certain how fel would characterize bendy reacting to this conflict, not only because fel is an absolute genius but also because even if i did know i'd just rather let him say it on his own terms. but i think fel's bendy's interaction with both "harmless baby bendy" and "beast/ink demon" would be a tad more complex and messy and honestly human. fel's writing <333333(sorry for being biased i am. homosexual)

Oh no!! Sorry to hear that your favourite was chased away :( I definitely get what you mean about a lot of the scripts being cringe lmao. BUT...
I found one on PornHub of Levi being pegged and it's my favourite thing ever and I listen to it all the time. It's possibly the hottest thing I've ever experienced. It's by Akiradubs on PH which I assume is King Akira on yt.
(There is a line that I can't help but snort in amusement at: "Are you going to lubricate my tiny hole?" 💀💀💀 But the rest is pretty great in my opinion.)
YEAH KING AKIRA IS WHO IT WAS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭WHY DID HE HAVE TO DO IT BEST😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭i can’t remember what he did, but it was definitely Not Good.
i guess i’ll take this opportunity to muse like an old man. despite me like. not being able to suspend my disbelief and laugh most of the time there were some😭
smut audios are deleted on soundcloud alll the time but i remember one about listener getting bred by idk HOW TO describe it but levi was super animalistic and it was good.
there was an eren one ong the hottest thing i’ve ever heard with candle wax and chasing and bondage HE did it best (KING AKIRA)
there was one where levi gets off in the shower to the thought of listener.
on the other hand, there was one where levi confesses during a rainstorm, in that type of situation where we *think* he doesn’t care but he literally would die for us😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
i had an album called ‘free therapy’ but they’re ALL deleted
there was the broom one.
there was an eruri x listener one but ong i cant remember what it was about :( there was smut in it though (the acting though😭..)
but the most enjoyment i gleaned out of any character audios were the “so bad it’s gut bustingly hilarious” ones i’d listen to IN MY CAR with a friend of mine. never laughed so hard in my life.

ciao ciao it’s me again !!!
anyways. kinda excited for taylor swifts new album the tortured poets department. I’m not even a swifte and I have none of her songs in any of my playlists (excluding cardigan but whatever) but for some reason I’m hyped??! idk the name just sounds so cool. “tortured poets department” hell yeah that’s right up my alley!!
like ugh the name and the aesthetic of it just seemed so cool 😭 idk whether this gonna be the album to turn me into a swifte or not (probably not) BUT AY. I just thought I should share.
since i saw you’re like a big taylor swift fan and I would get bullied intensely by my friends irl if I even mentioned liking taylor …. I decided to just rant here :3
anyways whats ur opinion on this new album (I can’t believe I’m talking about taylor swift online) (sila what have u done. it’s these posts I saw about ts I swear)
OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT DON'T EVEN ASHURRHUD I'M SO EXCITED IT'S LIKE DEAD POETS SOCIETY BUT MUSIC SEJDHRJEHURHD
No I so so so hope that tpd is gonna be like evermore/folklore companion album, esp with the final track on folklore the lakes yknow 'take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die' if I had an entire album like that??? SCREAMINGBEHDHDUDHDHD If she tours for it after the eras tour I NEED tickets you DON'T GET IT.
I'm not even a swiftie. I'd never call myself one, I'm not insane over her I'm not insane over her I'm not insane over her I'm not-
It does sound like such a cool album, I really hope it's like folklore- and folklore is the album cardigan is one so 🤞
I'm so so so hyped for this album it's gonna be a tortured poets department summer guys (don't know if thats a good thing yet)
as a self proclaimed tortured poet I'm positive I'm going to love this album, whether it ends up with the same acoustic vibe as folklore or if it ends up synthpop like midnights. I feel like I'm going to get called out and I'm slightly scared but also yay now songs to sing!!!
I'm so proud of you for coming out and talking about taylor swift blame me all you want, thanks for giving me an opportunity to yap about taylor swift 😋
