Hi! Anontie here! Just wanted to ask, if the Links got an animal mascot, what would it be and would it jump in to “protect” them at times
For some reason - and I have no idea why my brain went here - my first and immediate response was, "Well they've got a frog, of course."
I cannot justify this. I don't understand why their mascot would be a frog. All I know is that it makes sense in my own head and I am physically unable to put the reason why it makes sense into words.
That said, of course the frog jumps to protect them. It's made for jumping! The protecting part is a bit less doable but that's not stopping this frog from trying!
Casting Ariel / Velma/ Daphne/ shaggy as a different race is FINE people put way to much emphais on how they need to remain the exact same in looks after 50 years im not againt changing things around/raceswapping . I mean I got lots of white blonde girls to rep me its not that deep. i dont care if cinderella is black in fact she was and it was a good movie too.
The problem is is
PERSONALITY/ Bad writting/ thats it.. if ariel is still fun/curious/ outspoken then its all good if shes written to just make fun of everyone else/ be a butthead its gonna be a problem.
bad writing.. and hate towards fan.. thats the issue with remakes
Okay the last two posts are the only thing I’m going to say about the fucking state of the country for now because I’m fucking sick of this shit and I also just want to distract myself so I don’t feel like slipping into another depressive episode. I’m trying to make sure this blog is also a welcome distraction but if you’re from the USA, please call your senators and representatives bc I sure am. The silence does not mean I don’t care (literally just scroll down a bit lol) but that I do care about uhhhh not committing a late stage self inflicted abortion. All political posting will be on my main blog.
I've slowly been chipping away at drawing scenes from that imaginary Muppet retelling of the Princess Bride, figured it was about time to share what I've drawn on Tumblr!
sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me
everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -
enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.
and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends
