getting up on my soapbox for a moment. i find it laughable that nearly every time someone says they don’t like rap they cite hamilton and k-pop as the only rap they can tolerate. because everything else is just so violent and full of blatant consumerism. first off. so is k-pop. secondly. idk how to tell you the founding fathers were some of the most violent people around (coming from a black american descentant of slaves who is most likely related to thomas jefferson. shouldn’t have to explain the relevance here). thirdly. hamilton and k-pop both reference and interpolate rap. so idk what to tell you babes. you do like rap. you just don’t like black people. say it with your full chest next time.

#it’s very funny because there’s a whole conversation about how white people treat k-pop and rap #like they are both a homogenous thing and not two very massive and diverse genres #like k-pop isn’t just pop and the idea of it being ‘purer’ is you guys infantalizing Asians #like idk I don’t think you guys hear yourselves sometimes #but that’s another conversation. #jude.txt

Darlings. is it gay when the phantom you created as a manifestation of your dreadfull loneliness takes the form of one of your closest friends.

Fanart of this pretty good horror rarijack fanfic, "The haunting of carroussel boutique" personaly i am surprised the writer didnt take the chance to point out how fucking funny this is. Me n kim started laughing about it during stream and i just had to draw this

#i REALLY didn't mean to make this look like theyre fucking #it just happened i apologize #either way the fanfic is pretty good! #but i couldn't help but realise the writer stook to the horror genre like glue #and didn't think to point out how objectively funny that like. #Rarity is sleeping with a copy of applejack #incredibly akward #incredibly funny #also shoutout to when ghosts are born from a wish #fuckin LOVE that. much better than “some guy died here” #Rarity haunted herself because of her awfull loneliness #lucky for her the real thing has come to the rescue #applejack #rarity #rarijack #mlp #my little pony #suggestive #I GUESS!!! #fanfiction #pony posting #The Haunting of Carousel Boutique #friendship is magic #personaly i coulda done with more romance and smidge bit more of comedy #but the fic is still very VERY well put together #one genre fics are unrelatable to me but i respect the hell outta it

thinking about "it's unreasonable to assume that a character knows what genre they're in" and how in series 1-3, Merlin (and the audience) thinks that he's in a fantasy adventure comedy. no one realises that he's in a tragedy until it's too late.

#I do stand by what I said literally a few minutes ago about how calling merlin a tragedy is giving the writers too much credit #but I think you could twist it and say that the writers also think merlin is a comedy and don't realise that it's a tragedy until series 4 #which makes it worse. because so many things that happen in the first half of the show are absolutely tragic but are played as comedy #the end of 'the sins of the father' where uther says that merlin is “a trusted ally in the fight against magic” THATS FUCKING DEVASTATING #but it's played as funny #and it's only when you reframe the genre that you realise how truly heartbreaking it all is #bbc merlin #merlin #merlin meta

"augh, this [media] sucks. it's all about shipping"

romance is a genre, harold

#this is the funniest thing that i keep seeing #im hardly mad at it honestly it's just funny at this point #like sometimes i'll see people criticize shows that used to be plot-based that in later seasons turned into just romantic drama #and i get that can be frustrating. but if a show has been ''about shipping'' since the pilot then maybe it's just the genre #this is like the funniest and most mundane version of dead dove #imagine explaining to a boomer or something that a show sucks because ''it's about shipping'' and then having to define shipping for them #and they look at you and say ''you... you mean like.... a romcom?''. how would you recover from that. what would you say

tragic: anime that has interesting designs and solid animation has terribly stupid and weak plot

#just came across this one anime opening with anarchist magical girls and speedcore/breakcore in the intro #i read the synopsis and reviews #its about a world where otakus are oppressed and its not really funny or interesting. the girls are oversexualized of course #i thought it would be some avant-garde genre deconstructing thing and apparently its just an otakus wet dream #come on..... #(its called magical destroyers)

JULIE JOYFUL RWAAAAAA

Finally I drew Julie, my baby!! I enjoy her quite a lot and these are the outfits I think she’ll be performing in my au. I mentioned it before in a post that she’s in a band “Joyous!” with her siblings. Might as well say a bit about the lore, basically everyone from the “Welcome Home” cast left Home and ventured into the Real World. Kinda similar to how Barbie leaves her toy world in the movie. So yeah pretty much everyone started their own music career, but Eddie and Frank started a talk show together.

#I think I’m having an art block cause it’s weirdly hard to sit down and draw #Even tho I really wanna #The creative juices are not juicing enough #I’ll still try to doodle cause this au thing is on my mind a lot #ANYWAY I’m thinking about what music genres others would like #Like Julie and her siblings probably pop r&b soul maybe alternative as well #Sally is alt punk rock I thinkkkk #Although she wouldn’t stop at that I mean come on where’s the fun in sticking to one genre? #she would experiment definitely #Poppy is a jazz singer and a frequent guest at Eddie’s and Frank’s talk show #And Barnaby well I decided to stick to hip hop and rap #He would sing in jazz as well #Howdy is a…Dj #Idk why it makes me giggle #LIKE FOUR HANDS AND I AUTOMATICALLY THOUGHT DJ #It’s kinda funny #welcome home #welcome home au #julie joyful #julie welcome home #my art

You know how they're always drawing and putting shit on the walls? And the whole "Will drew Castle Byers before making it x the upside down was manifested as Hawkins because of Will" and the drawing of a dragon we see from him in season 1 and the dragon he paints again and all those theories?

What if there's a plot pertinent reason for them to be like "everybody run to your houses and grab all your art from Will and we'll collect and go through it to understand the upside down better etc." and we Lucas and Dustin run home and take drawings off of their bulletin boards (canon if you look) and out of frames and off of desks and things and El only has a few but she kept them and she brings them out and then of course Jonathan has a bunch of course and then Joyce opens like a giant drawer of course stuffed to the brim and Mike just drops a giant ass 10 year old binder as full as the Byers' on the table with a thud like "where do we start?"

#byler speculations #byler #stranger things #mike is will's family #but like in an inlaw way not brother way ofc #still think a funny way to do byler in like a diff genre probably would be for karen or something to be like aw youre just like brothers an #mike to just be like NO and super uncomfortable for “unknown reasons” #also a great opportunity to show all the people who love him super cute too with the suicidal themes and bringing it back to season 1 #stranger things speculations

This is a special genre of f1 picture(to ME.)

#ive talked a lot about helmets lately oops #i guess i just rly have an obsession with how they're an extension of the driver #and a representation of them and their only sense of personality and individuality when theyre all geared up #so theres something to me about the separation of helmet from driver like in these pics #of course theres pics of the helmet on its own for model kinda pics(like all the pics i used for my past project posts) #but this is its own genre. helmet doing its own thing. helmet away from the vicinity of its owner #helmet being protected from the elements. it has its own carrying bag. it gets an umbrella. etc etc #the first pic made me on the lookout for pics w a similar vibe. IDK WHY BUT IM RLY OBSESSED WITH IT #having a severe helmet fucker era </3 i look at these and i feel very weird about them 😭 #not included cause its a differnt genre but also thinking abt pics where someone other than the driver themselves is holding their helmet #theres something weirdly intimate to me about it. its too reminiscent of that one painting of the germanic warrior holding the roman helmet #<- DO YOU GET WHAT IM IMPLYING HERE. #anyways. i digress. helmet being taken care of and protected is cute to me #its such an extension of the driver so its kinda funny ig that they get their own photoshoots #also yeah these are all nando helmets bcs i couldn't find pics from other drivers that i thought had the same vibe #and i think its interesting how these correlate with whom the photographer is and the level of popularity of the driver #like are you popular enough that someone will see your helmet apart from you and think its important enough for a pic? #and its so interesting comparing pics from the same time from different teams #bcs you can see how different the motivations of the different photographers are based on what the pics are like #well blah blah blah helmet kink blah blah blah #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #helmet

people will be like "a little life is so fucking cruel and unrealistic and manipulative" and then start describing the concept of a tragedy to you

#'​people suffer and things ultimately don’t get better this shouldn’t have been published!!' ummm. sure jan #a little life #hanya yanagihara #like it’s so funny to me just because you weren’t as emotionally invested in like. romeo and juliet doesn’t mean that tragedies aren’t #a genre as old as time and that it’s a crime to write one lmfao

(sorry for leaving y’all in suspense I was grocery shopping) Surprise!! I accidentally got into Len’en like two weeks ago. Whoops! I got ideas for cool drawings to do with each of the BPoHC shrine team members (and you-know-who, ofc, but that one might be… weird lol), but Tsubakura gets to go first cause theirs is the simplest; just greyscale + red color scheme with a split background and the pose is mostly random (maybe they’re squishing Tsurubami’s little eye thing? Idk). Very pleased with how everything worked out; the line for the eye is exactly where the dividing line for the background was and the way I managed to make the vest corseted while not changing the ribbon placement is just perfect. Although I did make their hat smaller out of the aforementioned cowardice also that thing is hard to draw

#art #digital #len’en #tsubakura enraku #for those not in the know: Len’en is a game series inspired by Touhou but there’s a number of things different about it and it is rapidly #spiraling off into a very complicated story and also other game genres; also every character’s gender is officially ‘whatever’ #This character (Tsubakura) plays like Marisa but is also a shrine maiden (priest) along with the Reimu type character #Nonbinary (to me) mad scientist. #Replaces soy sauce with calligraphy ink in every culinary application. #Made a nuclear bomb once supposedly on accident. #Locked in a blood feud with their 3(ish) absurdly powerful ex-girlfriends and this has led to at least one actual war. so far #(hello high brightness users! :D) #Apparently mastered genetic engineering and mostly uses it for stuff like making it so they can put ink in their coffee and not die from it #what’s not to love #oh ya I doubt anyone cares much since this was in the tags but I got some stuff wrong due to misunderstanding & exaggeration for comedy sryy #nuclear bomb was definitely an accident cause they got really sad about it after which is soooooo funny #they do eat ink and also soap but it’s not really explained why it doesn’t kill them of why they like it #also they made an artificial human (+ several androids) who’s supposed to be an assassin and used to be an even more blatant mega reference #hasn’t actually killed anyone yet cause their first target is Tsubakura lol #and I’m barely exaggerating abt the ex girlfriend thing; they haven’t been confirmed to have dated in canon but they were quote #‘close enough to want to murder each other’ #and one of them is very homoerotic about it all the time so like rlly not that out of pocket #admittedly the one I’m drawing somewhat homoerotic art of with Tsubakura atm is probably one of the other two but whateverrrr #it still fits Arde well enough #*mgs reference

[always-a-joyful-note]

I was watching this review of Idolish7 and the reviewer's closing comments got to me because, yeah. Idolish7 tells you that it's fine if your interest or love for something like music or media doesn't last forever while acknowledging also how sad that can be. But it tells you that you're allowed to be obsessed with a show or a song for a short period and you're not inconstant or evil or disloyal for it, nor that your love for it was fake because it didn't last in intensity as it started.

I don't know but I'm a big fan of the way i7 tackles topics about change and goodbyes (especially after pt 4 to 6.9), both on the audience's side and on the artist's side.

#actually funny story...i was gonna look at that review before watching the series then decided to watch it first before looking #yeah....anyway...i sure do love this anime that emotionally destroyed me #im kinda curious at other idol animes now and how they gained that rep #(i did not even know a thing called idol animes or media existed until like....enstars) #(or maybe sasamiya? (by the way...i almost choked on my drink seeing that yamato and tenn's vas voice sasaki and miyano)) #anyway i love medias of certain genres that have gained a tropey or bad rep hitting me in the feels with good writing #aka orv and i7 so far and some ive forgotten #idolish7 #note's notes #fandom spamdom

Finally, a fic idea that comes to me that isn’t at least a little fucking sad. Anyway 6 or 7+1 formatted fic of practically every character younger than Phoenix accidentally calling him dad and him very quickly getting used to it.

By the time Apollo and Athena come along, he’s not even phased by it, he was counting down the days until it happened, he had a bet with Trucy and Edgeworth over when it would happen.

#Apollo is just so embarrassed but Phoenix doesn’t even do a double take #it’s literally been happening ever since he was like 23 #there are so many traumatized kids in aa and Phoenix is a magnet for that kind of thing #which makes it extra funny that he’s not even particularly good at handling kids they just imprint on him and he has to accept that #my other fics are like: Phoenix death compilation (he gets better) and the 7yg but it’s a spy thriller #anyway I think that Phoenix and Sebastian should meet and bond over being crybabies and being seen as an idiot #those are the things that they’re sensitive about! #Phoenix being a dad to every character that’s like 25 and under is my favorite genre #pheonix wright #ace attorney

[wave-man]

theres so many of these top text bottom text / impact font memes with literally no punchline or joke at all that loop back to being funny just because theres no purpose to them but they all use stolen fanart so i cant share them

#2 that i just found again are I FIND THIS TRIO IMPORTANT AS THEY ARE SEEING DOING DIFFERENT THINGS #and its just an img of rock blues n bass together #the other is fanart of blues and bass taking a selfie and the text is WHAT I LIKE ABOUT PROTOMAN IS THAT HIS SHIELD CAN DEFLECT PROJECTILES #and theyre all kind of like that #theres also a genre of it where its a character doing something and theyre like THIS IS [CHARACTER] [DOING SOMETHING] #sometimes with made up context like its a hypothetical situation like THIS IS PROTO MAN THINKING ABOUT DUO i saw one liek that too #n it was just fanart of blues looking off into the distance #theyre so nothing that its rlly funny but its always fanart that def is not being credited u_u

[marionmorse]

Ohh my absolute goodness..

side note, one look at Heavy and Medic on the character lineup at the teamfortress.com homepage tells you EVERYTHING about their marriage

Anyway, the god... damn... I can't get over... just, Engineer TF2 and the duality of his character. Like, he's one-hundred percent someone to pull on gator skin boots, a ten gallon, get all yee-hawed up for a night out at the dance hall. But then go home and infodump about hotchkiss drives, stress-strain curves, and reflow soldering.

There are some specific competitive lines that comes to mind that are JARRING to hear in his honeyed-up Texas voice along with shit like "hooo-whee, makin' bacon!" and "START PRAYIN', BOY." Maybe that's just a huge part of the appeal to his character, but think about his BUDDIES, too.

Medic is probably quite familiar with American stereotypes pre-Gravel Wars, doesn't expect much from a bumbling rural southerner with a generic set of tools upon first glance. but.., he's a bit BLOWN AWAY when Engie gets all inquisitive about the ins and outs of the medi-gun. Wants to look into how the serum works as a mechanical component, the powering and logic behind it all, even overwhelms med's (limited) level of delicate mechanical knowledge. his arc is all, "okay, so, this little guy might be a bigger-brained fella than I expected!" The punting of med's early-day ego and subsequent forging of their friendship is just so... ourgh... I love characters and arcs and stories and growth and...

Also, Soldier! The all-American Ultra Yank who doesn't see eye-to-eye with Engie at first. They've both got contrasting leadership qualities when it comes down to it, fr, a- a- and, AND, soldier HATES nerds. Engie's a nerd. Big time. It takes a while for that mutual love respect to build up, you know? do you catch my drift? I'm just rambling now.

ALSO also, Engineer himself going from the more introverted, lone-wolf type we see in Meet the Engineer to a sort of leader, the level-headed de-escalator we see in Expiration Date. The guy who feels for and loves his team, but no doubt brings out the 'Texas' in 'em all. It's kinda cute. I imagine he taught everyone square dancing at some point, 'cause how else would they know?

In the end, I just love to think of Engie as being one of the cornerstones of the team's overall culture. i mean, he's a solid family guy - cooks the breakfasts, fixes the (practical) problems, heck, plays music, tells stories, keeps 'em together when times are tough. We ALL know that some of him has to rub off on the team he bunks with for years. Not in a father-figure way, nahh, but certainly in a Dad Friend way. Big difference.

(Can you tell who my favorite character is yet? (demo, actually. And Heavy. come to think of it, the defense trio is the love of my life. My boys. (I could write and MLA-formatted essay about the balance of culture and personality within the Tuefort Nine, citations intact.)))

#tf2 headcanons #tf2 engineer #tf2 #More rambling #I adore Engineer TF2 #I adore TF2... #Demo/Engie is a fuckin' treat btw #I hc Medic being the most egotistical of em at the start of things #love changes a man #Spy's lines mocking engie are probably my favorite genre of tf2 voiceline too #also I am south texan and an adorer of the lovingly vibrant dance culture here #That might have something to do with it #Ultra Yank sounded so funny in my head #Me realizing 50% of these are repeated from past posts LOL

JAMES SPADER as William Ashbury SHADOW OF FEAR (2004), dir. Rich Cowan

#this movie SUCKS. truly so bad don't watch it's not worth it. but he plays an evil lawyer it's really hot <3 #so gorgeous. I think the last thing he filmed before joining the practice #jim whispers literally the entire movie it's so funny girl speak up!!!! #james spader #shadow of fear #* #not my fave genre anyway but this did have squandered potential. the concept was there. could've been good #if it was written like 207% better #the stuff with william and his feelings(?) for wynn was SO underplayed. #not just saying that bc i'm a james girlie who wants to see him romancing. actually yes I am! #but idk it could've been great motivation instead it was one scene where he verbalizes it and the rest of the time he's just like 👁️👁️ #I wish he was my weird family friend who was maybe in love with me and showed up in my yard talking about treehouses
