Inktober Day 1: Dream

That's right, I'll be doing Inktober! Will I be able to make it until the end? Only time will tell.

#dream of the endless #the sandman #morpheus #inktober #not WH or pokemon related content???? In my @the-pianinst-from-accumula-town blog???? It's more likely than you think #I have not read the comics #I didn't even finish watching the series #but I didn't know what else to draw

he's so important to me

#i guess i need to watch the anime but super's manga has just been a self-indulgent fever dream for me from start to finish #100000/10 absolutely perfect so validating so extremely catered to my tastes and headcanons and analyses and humor #so fucking funny and emotional and intense and goofy and beautifully drawn #my beautiful son getting to finally fucking see his HARD won character growth fucking shine and choose love and choose to be loved!!!!!! #Goku just being Goku Vegeta being Team Dad Piccolo being Team Grandpa Bulma being a fucking superstar keeping everybody organized and fed #god i love this squad i love this series i love these dumbasses and their struggles and their triumphs and their stupid childish bonding #I love that Toriyama just spent the last several years reminding the class that DB as a whole has always been an ACTION-COMEDY about LOVE #and I'm SO sad that the z anime really never did it justice in that sense because of having to fill time with dramatic tension but god. GOD #THE MANGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO CLEAR ON THAT THESIS. #Just all about Restorative Justice and Community and CARING even when you wish SO MUCH that you didn't care but yoU DO GODDAMMIT!!! #SUCH a great series I'm so sad it took losing mr t for me to finally read it but my god I needed to read it now and I'm so glad he wrote it #and i'm SO glad he wrote it Exactly Like This #once again rip to a legend i'm caught up and crying it's so perfect it's SO everything I've wanted to see onscreen and embedded in canon #and canon isn't everything but it still feels gREAT to be SO 1:1 on the same page with an author re: how you interpret your blorbo yknow??? #been rotating this man in my head for 25 years and Mr Toriyama just mWAH kissed me on the forehead about it #anyway enough tag rambles I'm off again aklsjla #bonus for that kenpachi shit and letting him say 'sorry dude I can't be cold and numb anymore but this is still cathartic as fuck lol' like #mr t i hope you see the HIGHEST tier of heaven for that (and obviously for like everything all of it the whole life you led)

There's no better way to get out of a drama watching slump than to have many important school works to do. Suddenly you can binge watch three dramas one after the other in one week.

#like bruh tf #the way I watched 3 dramas instead of doing uni work... #when i didn't even know if I'd be able to finish another drama before the end of 2022 bc its so dry #anyway #kinnporsche the series #love between fairy and devil #beyond evil #reborn rich #mien #summer strike #the untamed #ngl my french ass don't know if i used the good then or than lmao #kdrama #cdrama #jdrama

very curious if our society (youtube) has evolved to producing twenty-four-hour length video essays yet. bc ik on average the video essays i watch tend to be around an hour, some shorter some longer but this is my preferred length, 2-3 hours is on the longer side for me but if it's a topic i'm into or a creator i like i'm down for it, longest i've personally watched is 5-ish hours (tho that one was broken up into a lot of smaller segments and not meant to be consumed in one sitting) but i know for a fact there are much longer video essays out there. the longest i've seen in my recommended is eleven hours but i know there must be more out there. what is the video essay event horizon? have we reached "videos of nerds (complimentary) infodumping about niche topics which would take an entire day nonstop to consume"

#yes i am a video essay enjoyer if you couldn't tell #longest video on my ''favorite video essays'' playlist is ''understanding snapewives'' by biz barclay which is just under 3 hours #(10/10 recommend even outside of the fandom history there's a lot of fascinating stuff about religion and how we connect to media) #(and it's very well researched) #i think the longest i've watched is babbity kate's deep dive into the american girl doll ''kirsten'' #which covered every piece of kirsten media ever created and analyzed the historical accuracy #kate's planning on doing a series like this for every american girl doll in release order which i'm excited for #i didn't even like kirsten as a kid but the video was very well done and engaging even if you're not as big of a doll fan as she is #longest i've had recommended to me is ''a brief retrospective of the simpsons' golden age'' which is ELEVEN HOURS #but i'm very tempted to watch it bc i am a simpsons nerd and it seems to be divided into smaller essays season by season #i think i saw a tumblr post about a fnaf lore video essay that was ridiculously long but idk if that was longer than 11 hours #i should also make a poll about preferred video essay length bc idk if my opinion is the majority #most of my favorites are 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. if it's too short (like less than 20 minutes) i'll skip it #(unless it's a creator i like who wanted to put out something short between big projects) #and if it's too long (over 3 hours) i have to be in the right mood even tho it'll probably be multiple sittings to finish it #(again unless it's a creator and topic i like and it's something i've been waiting to hear their thoughts on)

Was inspired by all this hype from Fiona and Cake series (didn't watch it yet) and also were affected by re-watching Adventure Time with my siblings, so... Yeah, here's roughly drawn Fiona in Cakesuit!

#adventure time #fionna and cake #i planning to finish this sketch #if i do i will upload it here #cake is the best #even if i didn't watched the series yet #i believe she's still the best as she was in AT

Congratulations to Never Let Me Go for being the second drama to get the highest rating from me this year. Currently preparing my mind and body to be insufferable about it forever.

#haha! sike! I've actually already started- #(list of things I did BEFORE finishing NLMG tonight: #1. downloaded the episodes to cherish and protect in case the downfall of internet is tomorrow/other disasters #2. bought a replica of Nueng's necklace for the price of two croissants in the not-very-legal market #3. included a shot from the series in a special gifset #4. had heated mental arguments with the people making negative comments about it #5. .......... considered giving FUTS another chance out of gratitude to PP (not sure yet but just the fact that I gave it a THOUGHT-)) #// #well now that being said #I'm kinda disappointed there are only 2 new dramas in the annual list that got the ''I will definitely rewatch this'' badge #last year there were 3 BLs alone. not even counting OTHER genres!!! and in 2023 I watched many MORE dramas!!! what is this!!!!!! #was I unlucky. was I going after the wrong stuff. I keep thinking about that. #but there were also a good number of dramas that got the ''I might rewatch this'' badge #and even the ones I didn't really enjoy were important to give me perspective/parameter #so... no time was wasted. and I was doing what I like to do? so I guess it's ok...

[krenenbaker]

I was looking through an old blog of mine at some Stardew Valley stuff I'd reblogged (also, warning: sdv content incoming!) and I found a GEM of a post I made in July 2021:

oh hun, if only you could see yourself now...

#krenenbaker's :) #this was fun to find again since #a. I'm still obsessed with Elliott #b. I don't ID as lesbian any more #c. I'm very queer and Elliott is both very gender and very attractive #(he's a very pretty man) #I also found all the other fandoms I was into in 2018-ish and OOF #one of them is kind of a yikes to look back on #especially since I didn't even finish watching the show because it really went downhill towards the end of the series - -; #and it was... kind of a toxic fandom too #anyways... rant over #prepare for some sdv stuff :)

[dankest-of-lies]

i just thought of the most genius crossover crackship ever. jerry stokes x kevin french 🤯

#BRAIN GALAXY MOMENT #the eltingville club #mission hill #jerry stokes #kevin french #zomg i just went thru the kevin french tag again and didn't even realize i already liked a post about them omg HAHA #just (FINALLY) watched the wte pilot on wednesday after knowing of it's existence for like 9 years and seeing clips of it #and even slighting fixating on it for 2 seconds a few months ago and reading the epilogue lmao #gonna read the whole series now #its* #slightly* fml #edit 4/23/24: i finished reading it yesterday after starting it on sunday night slayyyy

[emirrea]

Decided to give the netflix ATLA live action a try and I'm feeling so conflicted. I've only made it to the halfway point of the second episode btw so I'm still very early on in the series, but I'm trying to decide if I'm going to watch the rest lol.

The series looks REALLY good and I don't mind a lot of the changes they did. I really like especially Sokka and Zuko's actors, to a point where I'm kinda willing to watch the rest of the series just to see how they do.

But I don't know if I can get over how Aang does a whole enthusiastic monologue of how he wants to be the avatar, to master all the elements and save the world from the fire nation at the end of episode 1. Hearing that just feels like I've physically been punched to the gut. It's the embodiment of the "he would not fucking say that" meme to me. Especially when it's followed by him almost lecturing the Kiyoshi island leader in the second episode when she wasn't going to let them stay on the island. To me it almost feels like they tried to make Aang 112 years old instead of 12 lmao. I can understand them wanting to make Aang more serious, but him being so confident at times about being the avatar this early into the series is SO unsettling. He's actor is great too, but the way the character is written is, well, unsettling

#posting #spoilers #so much of the dialogues just makes me cringe so bad #and the way sokka and suki's relationship is handled in the early episode 2 at least asdfkjghkljfh #suki sees sokka shirtless and suddenly it's okay that he's kind of being a jerk still asdjhgöjkfgdkgj #excuse me as i'm gagging from the cringe and the stereotypicality of the scene #you didn't need to make me watch her ogling at sokka for a whole minute for me to understand that she's interested in him asdlkghjkadfjgh #...i'm trying to remind myself that i still haven't even finished the second episode of the series #so i probably shouldn't be too critical of it yet #em devours media

[eatabledogy]

So I'm developing a new favourite interest-

#dogy dialogue #this is of course regarding the mass reblog spree i went on for south park shit #yeah that happened hours ago and yeah i still memed it #basically i forgot how but me and my sib started talking about creek and then we watched the craig and tweek eps again #and i half jokingly said what if we watched the whole series together #they said fuck it why not #and so we are almost finished season one and i can feel sp starting to grasp me in a chokehold #always saw the ads for this show and always thought i'd despise it #now look at me #i can hardly even believe i'm starting to get into this shit #it's the best worst thing to happen to me #btw this reblog spree happened because my sib expressed surprise that i hadn't reblogged sp stuff #so blame plugnuts #only reason i didn't was because of judgement but fuck it this is my blog and i can reblog sp if i want #also i just didn't think to so- #anyway fandom content for this show is fucking amazing #you appreciate it more cause the style is really kinda simple #so to see more of the characters features brought to life in drawings is so so so good #mostly the hair hhh #i went on a rant and don't know how to stop #i guess to wrap this all up i've been watching and enjoying south park and will reblog content for it until i die #thank you for coming to my ted talk #hope you like the high quality edit i did for this #peace

[marscats37]

seeing the tags of the stranger things post reassures me that I'm not the only one who thought the third season was so fucking weak. I think people only liked it because of the aesthetics. Taking place during the summer means that they can put the characters in funner 80s outfits.

#okay I'm being a little too harsh #I tried rewatching it a few months ago and idk. I didn't finish it #I look at the fourth season more kindly (even though there's still a lot of the russian side plot nonsense) #but I wonder if I gave it another watch I'd be more critical #it's fun to watch a popular series with everyone else and be caught up in the hype. I worry that's what contributed to my enjoyment #at least I can still say the first season is very good. I still really like it

[in-tua-deep]

i need you to know that ever since three years ago when you posted the first part of your tua hogwarts au, i have been deeply obsessed with it. it has lived with me rent free for three long years. nonstop.

adfsSFDghASDF i'm glad !! i do really have a guilty pleasure for hogwarts aus, though it's for a version that i've built in my head based on my siblings retellings and fandom over the years! admittedly i,,, never actually read the whole series even as a kiddo

though fun fact: one of my earliest memories is going to see the first harry potter movie in 2001 when i was like, four-ish? i fell asleep and woke up during the part where the unicorn is being vampire'd which certainly made an impression lol

sometimes i think i'd like to properly write it up but that would require a deeper dive into hp than i'm willing to make tbh, though i get away with surface knowledge and quickly googled questions in my little scribbly tumblr posts ;3c

#fuck jk amiright #i did watch the movies though i never have finished the books #i made an attempt in jr high and just didn't #which is honestly shocking bc i read and finished other series i actively did not enjoy just for the completionist nature in me #but i mean i was a tiny english child so i couldn't escape the harry potter hype #the whole thing is just. marred though by everything i a) didn't pick up on as a child in the books and b) everything jk is doing now #i wonder why it managed to gain such notoriety #though i was a warrior cat kid #rather than a harry potter kid #the true tragedy is that i'm not a furry despite being in all the furry adjacent communities smh #BUT i really do like my hogwarts au for tua though despite everything #i miss what i used to think harry potter was when my sister was retelling me the plot #the opposite for animorphs though whatever the fuck is actually in the text is so much more interesting than my sister's retellings #i would love to read them again as an adult if i could #but i can't get past the kneecaps going backwards when i know too much about animal anatomy #who knows though might give it another shot one of these days #it's actually super impressive how much i know about harry potter due to pure cultural assimilation though #i know so many book specific things despite not even reading them what the fuck #in case anyone is wondering my stance in general though #it's 'fuck terfs' #viktor is a trans man and i'm nonbinary and terfs can get the fuck off my dash in general

This Year's 8/1 is a Tuesday.

*barges into your house through your window*

so how we feeling about the limited life finale?

VERY happy :DD

I've been rooting for Martyn since Last Life, when I first started watching his perspective*, and honestly don't care that much about the angst of betrayals or anything – I was rooting for him SO hard in the last three series (and especially this one because I think he said there wasn't a series 5 planned at that point yet and I needed him to get a win ok) and it's FINALLY happened and I don't care what happened to get there. He deserves the win, especially after coming 3rd in the two previous seasons. Aaaahhh

*(gather round for backstory time under the cut)

Basically I watched Grian for 3rd Life, and later on watched Scott's perspective too (and started to watch Cleo's too, it was really good I just never got around to finishing it), but didn't actually watch any of Dogwarts (actually because of the perspectives I watched, during the battle of the red desert where Scott and Grian lost their first lives and Jimmy permadied, I remember really hoping Grian would kill Martyn and was really happy when he died to a skeleton... how times change, huh...). But people were talking about it and I was curious, and I think what finally pushed me to watch their POV was a Renchanting animatic I saw ("I hear a symphony" by Ratzy – if anyone hasn't seen it please do it's incredible. You can interpret it as either romantic or platonic, I interpreted it as the latter (I'm not super into shipping, I'm an aro who isn't that big of a fan of romance so I mostly tend to stay away, and in my opinion deep friendships can be just as important if not more than romantic relationships), but either way it hits like a truck and please guys, just watch it)?

Anyway, since I already knew Ren from Hermitcraft I was like "you know what, I'm going to try watching Martyn for a change, I want to see what his perspective is like". So I began watching it, and found it REALLy good, and right around that time, Last Life came out? So I decided yeah, I'm still going to watch Grian, but I'm definitely watching Martyn's perspective too (especially after the voice). And at the start I was still more invested in Grian's perspective, but I think around episode 4/5 it started to shift, and I think when episode 6 came out I decided to watch Martyn's perspective first (Grian hadn't uploaded yet and I needed to know what happened) and that was a big thing because I'd always watch Grian first and I was breaking from that (also Grian is still an amazing content creator and I do watch him sometimes, it's just preferences shifting over time). And it stayed that way for the rest of Last Life, and I'd say near the end was the time he became my main POV (I'm not sure if I watched Grian's last two episodes?). And I'm honestly SO glad that happened, because??? all the lore and storytelling in last life??? is absolutely incredible, and as someone still so invested in the meaning, story and coherency of 3rd life and sort of still holding Last Life to the same standard when it was very different, the voice lore provided such a cool narrative to watch, and it's definitely one of my favourite perspectives in the whole of the Life series (with Grian 3rd life and Pearl double life coming close).

And then it stayed like that, with me rooting for him each season (and he got SO close in last and double life too), also occasionally watching Pearl first for Double Life as well and following her perspective a lot, and same with Limited Life but with Scott.

And so yeah after 3 seasons and twice coming SO so close, he completely deserved the win, and I'm honestly really happy he did what he did at the end instead of engaging in that fight – if he came so close and didn't win again I'd be pretttttty sad (though happy for the winner).

#how i became a martyn main pov person backstory #also yeah i'm not really a person who watches too many perspectives #i try but i can never bring myself to carry on after a while even if enjoying them #i just get sort of burned out #so that's why i tend to stick to a few #also confession i don't think i've actually finished martyn's 3rd life series... #sacrilegious i know he's my main perspective and 3rd life is still my favourite series #i think i've watched up to the end of session 4 or maybe 5? and did watch the finale it was the first episode by him i watched actually #but yeahhh... #last life started so i sort of switched to that and didn't have enough energy to watch other stuff #asks #thank youu #also i wanted to ask who's your main perspective on limited life? do you have one and what did you think? #but yeah hope you enjoyed too!
