#Think of it like a promo!

[romansmartini]

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to speculate about the sexual and romantic undertones of celebrities’ professional relationships

#thinking about the larry thing again. all my life i’ve been a believer 🙏 #obviously many times of misguided beliefs were there before i like. learned how the world works. now i practice rpf discernment #but quite frankly there’s nothing like the drug of looking at star wars ot promo and being like man. #carrie fisher and harrison ford definitely fucked didn’t they. #and then for carrie fisher to drop the princess diarist and be like yeah me and harrison had the most torrid 70s affair #you can possibly imagine. #VINDICATIONNNNN #quite frankly they are the reason i still believe something similar happened with gillovny. we just need the memoir drop #rpf quiz

A SOLID THREE SPENT SOLELY ON TWEAKING COMPOSITION AND COLOR BALANCE UGH. #I really wanted a Catholic stained glass window vibe for this one #but I didn't like the look of black outlines on everything for a real stained glass aesthetic. #Also first time coloring in CMYK (i thought I might want to print it) and man it is a headache. #Before I'd just color in RGB and go fuck it whatever happens happens but it's time to grow up... it's time to learn how to do it right #so yeah my signature colors aren't there! because cmyk is the devil! but it looks nice anyway I think. #So excited to see how this all ends I want weirdos to stick together soso bad

a girl who is a noir detective man and a guy who is a femme fatale

#jaime x brienne #jaime lannister #brienne of tarth #mine. #just a quick sketch... i miss jb..!!!!!!!! but this is the most i can do rn 😭 #and also this concept has been on my mind and im thinking of this film noir murder mystery au #where joff has been murdered in an engagement party .. or tywin.. idk some lannister died #important thing is jaime was one of the prime suspects but he gets proven guilty then he ends up helping bri solve the mystery ok #also he looks beaten up + corner of his mouth bloody that's his equivalent of the femme fatale red lip #this pose is based on this photo i lost the ref for it 😭 but it's like a promo photo of a movie.. anyway.. brain rot over bri lighting his #cigarette.. its kinda giving lana west coast idk

sorry im still thinking about how everybody in barbie (2023) is called barbie or ken (apart from midge and allen) and while its disappointing that barbie and ken's friends like christie, teresa, brad and steven haven't appeared i understand why they didn't do that. While we don't actually know if they'll still show up in the movie (doesn't seem likely), i think they did this to appeal to everybody not just people who are really into barbie. like most people/people that don't really pay attention to barbie don't know the names of their friends, they just refer to them as "[defining feature] barbie"

also i think its funny that everybody in that world is called barbera and kenneth. but there could still be hope that barbie's friends do show up if they bothered to put a spotlight on midge and allan (but i still think its all just for comedic purposes, because allan is a forgotten character and midge had controversy surrounding one of her dolls. plus midge and allan will probably have something going on in the movie because canonically allan got midge pregnant and you know, midge is pregnant in the movie)

#barbie #like i knowwwww its disappointing but i think its kind of genius that everybody is called barbie #the movie is clearly supposed to reference ppls attitudes towards barbie. like that's why there's a chewed up played with barbie #in the movie #and i feel like thats why everyone is called barbie. cause most ppl just call any barbie doll.... barbie doesn't matter if they have a name #but we will have to wait and see because its a still a little vague. I'm loving the promo tho this is the first time in a long time #where the promo has actually made me want to watch a movie and has actually gotten me excited #i think its because of teh attention to details everywhere else #barbie 2023 #barbie movie

he's so fucking funny. local man cannot keep the love and adoration out of his eyes when talking about his wife even though he is supposed to be pretending she is a complete stranger

Hey, I started reading Robin son of Batman because of your recommendation (I literally have a print of your post on my phone to not forget lol). Honestly? One of the best things I ever read!!!

Thank you for opening my eyes! Damian has been one of my favorite characters for over a year, but I didn't read/watch much of him because of school, life (and probably an executive dysfunction in the mix).

Maya is incredible. I loved her.

I haven't finished all the issues yet, but do you have any other recommendations?

WAH this makes me so happy, i'm glad you still gave it a shot even with how busy life is!! ;v;

i’d love to give reccs, and i’ll try to go a beginner friendly route! tbh you can pick up whatever here, but since you've read R:SOB i’d immediately follow up with Batman and Robin (2011) #1-8! this first arc is what’s referred to in Maya’s introduction, and it's just. so good.

Batman Incorporated (2012) #1-10

events leading to Damian's death - affects Batman and Robin (2011) from issue #18

kind of a tough read especially with how Talia's written, but a lot of iconic bits like Batcow, Damian's vegetarian declaration, Alfred the cat, "We Were the Best, Richard."

#damian wayne #ask #sorry for R:SOB promo again but i need this title attached to Damian's name as much as B&R 2009/2011😭 #thank you for the ask anon!! really am so happy you were able to find the time to read RSOB and enjoy it!! i genuinely cheered 😭 #i hope some of these comics give you many emotions and/or a smile!! <3 #if anyone would like to correct something or include some Damian comics please feel free to comment or add to the post!! #sorry if the reading guide is an intimidating wall of text hhh after i finished it i was like...this does not look beginner friendly LOL 😭 #Damian's Teen Titans run is beginner friendly but it's so frustrating to read his character being regressed especially after RSOB #ig i would only recc the first 5 issues just for Mara asdsfg #super/bat 77 comic rlly made me wonder how Williamson could've made Damian sound so stiff now compared to his first time writing him?? rip. #also i love how there's so many Halloween stories here lol #maybe?? i'll do a guide for Damian's intro since those were the most confusing for me when i really got into his comics #i think his most recent appearances are a bit easier to figure out on your own but i don't mind doing a guide for that too if needed! #OOF tags got long lol i may be a bit nervous posting this bc i'd like ppl to read more Damian but worried i may have goofed somewhere #but hopefully this is helpful to anyone curious about peeking at his comics!!

big fan of the tumblr sexyman descendants thing but mostly because of spamton jr and the potential dadton

spamton jr design was made by @sporesgalaxy

#sexyman descendants #spamton #spamton g spamton #spamton jr #doodles #putting spamton in a full on domestic enviroment with a bratty teen daughter is the idea ever to me #in general this has always been a huge point of interest for me with these descendant type stories #what ABOUT the parents? whats the home life of these students like? #as far as i know (and ive watched only one episode of ever after high and a few promo clips of monster high) we never find out- #about anyones homelife #and i think thats a tragedy #i think we need more of these kids interacting with their parents #anyways... #dadton #love him always <3

Kaufmo human ver?

I was originally just going to leave this as a concept in my mind plus the previous ask but FINE. You want the pathetic clown? You're getting the pathetic clown-

#tadc employee idea #like i said #i really didn't think much of him untill now #if he were part of the actual cast and not used as a way to incorporate the whole abstracted gimmick i would've probably liked him more #don't get me wrong i really liked the way they introduced the abstraction but kaufmo got the short end of the stick #plus the fact that thus far the only times weve seen him fully were in the promos #not the actual show #it's a shame really #f in char for the kaufmo fans #and regarding the employee au.....in my mind he's dead dxgctxfhfhcgc or at least he's no longer himself #not only in the circus but in real life too #but yeah before entering the curvus he was this pathetic man who wabted to befriend everyone but because of his irritating personality #things didn't go his way #he's the type if guy to go “Urm ACTUALLY-” #my spelling mistakes are through the roof goddamn. thats what i get for rushing
