I wanted to try some processes I watched on some artists' reels over at the Insta, and practice designing and coloring manmade/artifiical environments for future projects in particular.

Deep winter also always makes me moody and nostalgic, and I start looking back. I know this is just a consequence of time and technology, but I don't have any of my old Tron art files saved on my laptop. It's so strange considering how much of an impact Tron Legacy and the fandom has had on my life on and off-line. I listened to the ficmix I made for that old fic of mine the other day, and man, I felt so unwell and unhinged. That movie, that OST, that fandom, that fic, that ship, still has such a stranglehold on me years after the fact.

Anyway, if you haven't done so already, go give this beautifully made extended Daft Punk music video a watch.

#shirozora draws #tron legacy #sam flynn #tron #the grid #samtron #started rereading We Are Pilots and MAN #there are definitely sections where I'd want to rewrite and tidy up #and there are sections that still take me tf out #the movie and fandom and ship and fic that really changed my life #there was 'before We Are Pilots'#and there is 'after We Are Pilots'#there is no Dangerous Dreams series without We Are Pilots. that's all I'm saying

you want a new kind of guy, fine, i raise you: the lady i was briefly roommates with in college who once smoked a blunt at a party and then spent an hour confessing earnestly to me that she genuinely preferred reading detailed episode recaps over actually watching the tv show in question

#she sounded so remorseful & i just stood staring like an anthropologist watching their phd thesis spontaneously manifest before their eyes #apparently she would watch the pilot episode to get a feel for the characters #and then just read a bunch of recaps & episode reviews instead of watching future episodes. what fresh steaming hell #this conversation took place like a year and a half after we were roommates btw. i had seen her maybe twice in that time period #i thought she was a standard frat girl but then 18 months later she appears in the wild grass to reveal unhinged character background to me #and i'm just standing there nodding feeling like i missed a weird opportunity i did not want or ask for #honestly thought i was the weirdest person in that apartment situation but now i'm wondering what our other 2 roommates were hiding #not my strangest college experience at ALL but like. definitely top 20 #this wasn't the same person as Aquarium Girl btw but oddly enough they were roommates actually #(not at the same time that Recaps Lady and i were roommates but at different intervals idk)#anyway i probably should have interviewed at more than one apartment before taking over a sublease but summer sess is a weird time u know #oh and this happened in Hong Kong btw

SUPERBIAAAAAAA

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS RRRAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHH

#ok so now we know superbia talks just like bravern can #which further cements the idea that they are one in the same #but could superbia talk before lulu was ejected or did it take bravern/lulu being ejected for him to talk?#superbia needs lulu else he'll probably fight like shit similarly to how bravern fights like shit when isami isnt piloting #thus explains the goop too....#but like how did lulu get to the state she was in in ep 3 and will isami have that fate the longer he's in bravern?#does lulu know if superbia is dangerous??? does she enthusiastically say return because she knows shes connected to him #or is she saying that because she likes repeating stuff? she does do that #ouhhhhg this show #i HATE waiting for thursday holy SHITTTTT #so many questions also poor lewis.....#bang brave bang bravern #cjj sayeth #bang brave bang bravern spoilers #bravern spoilers #bbbb spoilers

have y’all noticed it’s always the people who became “fans” at the height of tøp’s popularity (2015), then forgot about them after the Blurryface era that always has the most shit to say about them?

like we get it. it was CLEARLY a phase for you, you only liked them because they were popular at the time, but why make tøp fans feel like shit for STILL liking them? in 2024 at that?? we’re still shitting on people’s music taste in 2024?? music is music, and they still make GREAT music. i don’t understand. it’s like the moment they find out people unironically still listens to tøp current day, they become so hostile.

no one hates tøp more than “ex-Blurryface era” fans i SWEAR.

I think it's funny if every Voyager au has its own 'delta quadrant' and 'Maquis v Starfleet' circumstance that they're treating with the same level of seriousness and angst. Flight attendant Au but they're experiencing several long layovers and are from two competing airlines. High School Au but they're from different schools on a tense joint overnight trip.

#st voyager #I don't think it's NECESSARY but I do think it's funny #in the high school au Kes & Neelix do not go to either school they just snuck in and became part of the group #In the flight attendant au they are just passengers in for a wild ride #Janeway: I will die to get this plane back to California. We are not losing any more of our crew to the bus.#The Borg Queen is a greyhound bus driver btw (known enemy of pilots)#Harry left his clarinet at home before going on a school trip and Janeway's like DAMN IT.....(fist banging on desk) It's too cruel...#Janeway holding Tuvok's shoulders like 'It's ok Tuvok....we're gonna get you back home. You're gonna see T'Pel again.'#<- They don't have signal

Guys help I'm so confused by the timeline of the EddieTommy and BuckTommy ideas

The reason why Buck was single in the first place was because Natalia's actress didn't want to return, right?

So they were like "Hey, Buck's single, let's bring Lucy back" but the actress declined

So they brought in Lou as Tommy and instead of even considering pairing him with Buck their first thought was to pair him with EDDIE??

But then they realized Eddie had a gf and they couldn't end Eddie's relationship with Marisol as well bc it would be weird to break off both of those relationships at the same time

So they looked at Buck (who was the reason they were gonna bring in a pilot as a love interest IN THE FIRST PLACE) and were like "oh yeah he's single and I guess it kinda makes sense"???

And they asked Oliver and he was like "FUCKING FINALLY" and called Lou to talk about how to go about this

I just think it's absolutely wild that THEY BROUGHT IN A NEW LOVE INTEREST BC BUCK WAS SINGLE BUT WHEN THE LOVE INTEREST TURNED OUT TO BE A GUY THEIR FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO PAIR HIM WITH EDDIE INSTEAD

(Also, them knowing Buck would be single has to have happened before filming 7x01 but the BuckTommy idea apparently started while they were filming 7x02 and 7x03?? So while they were filming 7x01 they were either still hoping to bring Lucy back or thinking about getting Eddie a bf (before realizing he still had a gf)???)

#Like 'Tommy was supposed to be Eddie's love interest at first' yeah but before that the pilot was supposed to be Buck's LI right???#'buck is single? ok lets get him a li'#'oh the female actress is not available? lets get a guy then'#'i know we wanted a li for buck but we should pair tommy with eddie instead'#'ah shit eddie has a gf... uhhh oliver we need someone to kiss lou and the li was supposed to be yours anyway... u down?'#'HELL YEAH'#<- thats how i imagine it went #eddie is so gay that the male li automatically went to him first #911 abc #911 spoilers #bucktommy #eddietommy #buddie

hey! i was just going through your blog, and i saw a post about ice&carole and mav&goose. i looked a bit more but i couldn't find a post about your take on mav and goose's relationship, so i wanted to ask what it was. if you have answered this, i'm sorry about asking you again. imo i think what they had was wayy deeper than friendship but complex and probably not romantic, but again, i just wanted to know your thoughts on it.

thank you! and this blog has probably been one of the best finds i have ever come across on tumblr, i'll be sad to see you go.

yeah, i was really trying to be suave and subtle and mysterious about it with this parallel

like, you should be able to figure it out for yourself.

but luckily for you i looooove beating dead horses. to a problematic degree.

the full story of my vision of mavgoose (moose?) is in the completed draft of the extras that are coming out on Saturday. about halfway through. But i want to bring it back to the internal craft-of-writing debate i brought up yesterday—my inability to summarize, or to cut superfluous sections that don’t really matter.

I’ll stick it under the cut for spoiler reasons, but i wanna show the simple first draft of this scene versus the complicated, heavier final draft. And I want to ask any of you, if you’re interested—as a reader, which is more impactful? which should i end up publishing?

the simple first draft:

then i kept turning it in my head thinking of different ways to edit it to say something slightly different, to get a little more specific, coming up with things to add, and ended up adding like five extra paragraphs. which is this:

about 1/4 of the final draft (by which i mean, this is about 1/4 of the whole final discussion scene, but the goosemav-specific content only goes on for about another graf [omitted bc spoilers]):

(so to answer your ask explicitly, i actually don’t think they were anything deeper than good friends. imo there’s no evidence that they were anything deeper than good friends, especially with maverick blowing goose/goose’s wishes off soooo many times [‘she’s lost that lovin feelin;’ volleyball; refusing to do the responsible thing at least twice even after goose tells him it puts his & his family’s livelihoods at risk…bro all he does is blow off goose]. see me bitching in the tags for more on this)

obviously in my head the complicated in-depth version ⬆️ is the True version, the version of events that really Happened. i think the writing is in some spots much more compelling. But it just doesn’t make for a particularly good reading experience when it’s surrounded by like 3/4 pages of other discussion of history! sometimes too much of (what i think is) a good thing turns that good thing bad! & this is a major keystone dynamic of my whole series so i just want to get it right, for my own peace of mind. I guess im asking you to be the harsh editor i wish i had sometimes, if ur interested in doing so—this is genuinely a major major problem i have with my writing, i can’t ever just leave well enough alone 😭 please let me know if simpler is better/less is more in this case! do i publish the short vague “the reader fills in the blanks” version or the long boring “here’s EXACTLY how i see it” version?

#crowd sourcing beta readers. let me know.#also.#how many times do i have to say maverick is neither a good person nor a good friend #and the writers of TGM hugely whitewashed and dulled down the original sharpness and thoughtlessness of his character #for the sake of post-50s tom cruise mary-sueifying him #before it sticks?#if it helps you can write out a list of his actions in the original movie.#for instance: > blows off goose to be late to dinner with Charlie anyway #> follows her into the women’s restroom > continues a pattern of dangerous behavior even after #Goose his supposed best friend tells him multiple times it is threatening their jobs #the truck master scene… the locker room scene… the ‘can’t afford to blow this scene’#and then he does it a FOURTH TIME AND KILLS GOOSE HELLO!!!!!#so much for being a good friend like c’mon!!!#if he REALLY respected goose he would have SHOWN HIS RESPECT FOR GOOSE!!!#i am leaving this blog so out come the hot takes!#movies are also woobifying tom cruise lately! how’s that for a hot take #i genuinely felt insulted by TGM’s sexless passionless soft bokeh-light KIND OF half-sex with Penny. that was insulting.#what happened to the savage bitter kid in 1986 top gun? why is he so soft and toothless?#the only time we see him is in the ‘it’s not the plane it’s the pilot’ ‘EXACTLY’ exchange. THATS maverick.#sorry you know me. TGM is not my favorite. i am extremely cynical about it.#i love the IP but the writing choices in the 2nd movie wrt mav especially make me…. 😵‍💫😵‍💫#pete maverick mitchell #nick goose bradshaw #mavgoose #you can ignore me bitching but pls don’t ignore my begging for secondary opinions here

You know I don’t think we make big enough of a deal about in the pilot episode when Patricia is talking about how Joy’s disappeared and hasn’t called her, and Jerome says to her, “Patricia, you’ve disappeared more than enough times.”

What does that mean????? Has she run away from school a bunch before??? Not shown up to dinners?? Dodged her friends’ calls?? Jerome just says this pretty casually without any additional explanation and it’s never addressed again. Bro literally what does he mean that Patricia’s disappeared a bunch of times?? That feels like something significant that there’s a story behind. What does this mean. What happened. I need answers!!!

#i was watching a clip from the pilot ep and he said this line and i went hey wait a minute #we do NOT talk about this line enough #we all casually glossed over it #i need some damn answers #what the hell happened in previous years #you know after hearing this line #it actually starts to make sense why no one but nina was super concerned when patricia was kidnapped by rufus #nina obvs doesn't know about these 'disappearances' whatever that means #but the rest of the house was probs like #'oh she's just run off again she's done this before she'll be back'#bro i need some answers #or just some speculation #or some fic #house of anubis #patricia williamson #jerome clarke #been forever since i've made any hoa posts sry fam

Behold, the six "unique" roles of Stonevale, one of the colonies in Fading Hollow.

I've been thinking about this setting a lot lately, including all the characters. Honestly, I want to make every cat individual under the hood, but that is slowly driving me mad. For now, here are six of them:

Chief Ra'shira - the leader. Aggressive, irritable, but fiercely loyal to kith and kin.

Deputy Haystalk - her second in command and gentle younger brother. He has spent the majority of his adulthood smoothing over the trouble his sister's temper causes

Raven, the Seer - religious leader and second eldest cat in the colony. A grumpy bastard for the ages. The only company he enjoys is Mera and his sister, Blueshell

Mera Yari-tsa - a lifelong queen who has had a paw in raising every litter in the past 50 moons, earning her great respect. The most knowledgeable midwife in the hollow

Acorn - a senior messenger. He won't retire until his former apprentice, Puff, is ready to mentor another cat to take his place

Puff - a young messenger. He seems empty headed and the wrong body type for his position, but he has a fantastic memory and a knack for social situations

#gopher writes #gopher art #fading hollow #original art #cat art #worldbuilding #original characters #cat ocs #no idea what else to tag this tbh #this setting has basically been divorced from warrior cats at this point tbh. just because i keep adding shit #the more i build it the more i see this less as a warriors fanclan set and more as an individual story that owes a lot to wc #also- most of what ive posted about FH is still canon. the Yari-tsa are basically masters of childcare. this is still post apocalypse #however. new shit has been added. a calendar. strange mutations. ect #i also try to keep to some basic genetics. will have to create a family tree at some point. not looking forward to it tbh.#on the bright side the laws they live by are different. so we can deal #my plan is to make a webcomic of this. starting with a few fun nonlinear comics to give y'all a feel for the flavor of the setting #kinda like a pilot. then start the first arc. wish me luck. still a while before i get to any of that though lmao
