I adore him ❤️
Some old never posted sketches of a homebrewed Batman AU I was crafting alchemy-like by taking my favorite aspects of each incarnation and putting them in a blender until smooth and emulsified.
Genuinely upset that the supernatural fandom didn’t decide to call ourselves “supernaturalists“ like come on the pun was RIGHT THERE
NO FUCKING TERFS ON MY BLOG NO RADFEMS NO ONE WHO CALLS THEMSELVES “GENDER CRITICAL” NO TRANSMEDS!!!!! YOURE ALL EVIL
And like, them apologizing doesn't change the stuff about Steven belonging to a homophobic church and using Watcher to promote it, and it doesn't change the employees and spouses going on Personal Attacks towarda upset fans on other platforms, it doesn't change the comments of "We love when people tell us we got them through hard times " in the same video as making it so people going through hard times jo longer have access to them as a respite. Removing the paywall doesn't change them, subconsciously or consciously, thinking of poor fans as Worthless and Lesser, and unless they actively work at dismantling these notions in their minds They'll Do It Again. They showed, very clearly, that Fans Are Numbers And Not People to them. That Fans are this abstract concept of Praise and Adoration and Money that exist just to serve their endeavors. That's not something you can change your mentality around in 3 days- that's something that needs Active And Purposeful Dismantling Within The Deeper Psyche. And to be quite frank I don't believe they'll be willing to do such work, because it's not Profitable to remember that Your Audience Is Real People, Not Numbers.
Guys, the more I think about it, the more I fear that they simply won't care about our input. Like shane and ryan, both went to school for filmography, and they've always wanted to make TV quality content. Every pod, they talk about some movie or other piece of film media. They love it. The yellow and blue text has always been enough for us, yes, but I worry that it will never be enough for them. Our devotion is irrelevant. It just really sucks that their values and goals don't seem to align with ours.
“And I hope you NASTY, VILE, BULLIES who BROKE those poor men by *checks notes* 1.) pointing out that a bad business decision was bad and 2.) recognising that a CEO is, in fact, in charge of a company ROT IN HELL for your irredeemable crimes against our parasocial blorbos!!!! 😡🤬”
The true gay agenda is writing about vampires
I wanna write something involving vampires for some reason...
I found my phone and I’m definitely writing down my passwords so I don’t get locked out of literally everything again
phone inaccessible I feel like I'm losing it
"when i say girlie, i'm also including nonbinary people, you're honorary girlies"
this is exorsexism.
being misgendered isn't the honour you think it is.
do you think Eurydice spent the rest of her afterlife knowing Orpheus only looked back because he loved her
do you think that even after she forgot everything else, like she did in Flowers, she still knew that someone loved her so much they’d risk everything for her
do you think Persephone sometimes looks at Eurydice and sees herself. Maybe Hades was the one to grant Eurydice the mercy of knowing that she was loved, even after she forgets her own name.
Maybe it was Orpheus who wrote their song, so that he wouldn’t be the only mortal to have known of Eurydice and how much they loved each other. Maybe that’s why Hadestown paints Orpheus in the way it does, because he can’t help but think of how his distraction pushed Eurydice down that path. And that’s why Hermes sings it, because he thinks that maybe even if the story stays the same, he’s still fulfilling Orpheus’ wish for people to know Eurydice.
I hate this show so much like you don’t even know
I've had this idea for a post-endgame au where, instead of living with Peggy and abandoning both Bucky and Sam, Steve goes back in time, has a long talk with her where she allows him to open up about everything emotionally and then convinces him that him living out the life he does have in the future is worth it, and that she's happy. This causes Steve to still quit being captain america and still give the shield to Sam, but now he fakes his death to get completely out of the radar of whatever HYDRA agents are left, plus the government, and operate as the new director Fury-type figure for the new age of avengers.
Since the Sam!CA suit has primarily white as the base color, I decided to keep the blue for Steve. It's meant to look like he took the suit he wore in IW (the Nomad suit) and stripped the armor, the stars and stripes, and adopted golden yellow as an accent color. I tried to make a lot of tie-ins to other characters who would definitely be important to Steve (like the stars on his collar representing people he's lost, almost like he's carrying them with him.) since he seems like the type of person to do that, especially now that he's no longer being the representative of patriotism and isn't isolated solely to the classic costume due to other people deciding what he's be wearing.
The gloves are both a reference to the original "The Captain" suit
And a reference to the HYDRA Arm Bucky used in Winter Soldier and Civil War, with the dark red star only on one had while the other glove only has an embossed star in the leather.
The pattern on the back is low-key a nod to Steve "turning his back" on the old ideals of Captain America, since he's been burned by the US government enough to fully distrust them and believe their way of working is wrong (sokovia accords, anyone?), but its also a nod to Sam "having his back" (I love puns in character design)
The thigh holster was purely fanservice (for me, i am my biggest fan, that's why i highlighted his chest with the faux-corset design and highlighted his massive cake) and in-universe i think Bucky would've fought for that to be a part of Steve's costume.
I'll probably do more with this au in the future but i'm a little tied-up with doing sound mixing for Newsies JR right now and also balancing writing my own batfam x reader for the first time.
