#actually a bit inspired by the movie

[regulusdays]

Regulus, lying on the floor, with his head held back by the wall, dry tears all over his face, and a hand to his heart. Barty’s non-beating heart. That’s how Monty had found him. 

He was high out of his mind and can’t really tell what had happened in a cohesive manner – his mind holding together like shattered glass. That’s what hurts the most, he thinks. That he can’t recollect how it happened. The exact moment Barty’s heart stopped beating under his hand. 

The last days are all fuzzy and shapeless and borderless in his brain, and he can’t tell if it were really days or hours or weeks. The drugs took that away from him too, you see. Like taking Barty wasn’t enough.

Regulus had no idea who Monty was at the time, and he didn’t care. All he wanted was another shot and to feel Barty’s heart beating again. He got none of those things. What he got, instead, was hell – and a kind hand to hold him through it. 

From what Regulus has discovered so far, Monty – Fleamont, no last name – is a lawyer who mostly works paired with social workers, trying to help troubled kids. Not that Regulus has ever considered himself to be a troubled kid, he thinks of himself as a collected man actually, thank you very much. That is, if you disregard the part in which he got addicted to drugs and let his best friend and love of his life die in his arms. A well resolved man, even, if you will. 

Though there’s a loophole to Fleamont's story, Regulus considers, suspiciously. Regulus is a man. Legally, at least. What could social workers do for him? Aren’t they a few years too late? How, exactly, does he fit in the ‘troubled kid’ category? He has no idea, and it’s infuriating. 

He doesn’t know what his intentions are, and why he’s been keeping Regulus in this clinic – a private clinic, mind –, and it’s been driving him a bit mad. He’s tried to listen to whispers and interrogate his therapists but he hasn’t found a satisfying answer yet. 

Regulus vaguely, and he means vaguely, remembers the night Fleamont found him. He remembers being fussed at, like he’d never been before, and it was almost like- like Fleamont recognized him. 

He knows that’s stupid. He has never seen Fleamont in his life, and he has quite a memorable face. Regulus is good with faces and names, more than he would like, so he would definitely remember a man named Fleamont with a face such as his. 

It’s been the itch to Regulus’ ear ever since he got sober enough to get a hold of his bearings.

#artists on tumblr #goncharov #art #martin scorsese #unreality #<— the ‘movie’ doesn’t actually exist it’s a bit everyone is doing #digital art #i had way too much fun with this #things that are apparently inspiring to me: movies that don’t actually exist but are just a meme #clocks. time running out. startled birds as fleeting as life itself. and so on

just bc im a lesbian doesnt mean tht i wont at times become deeply entranced with the beauty of male actor or character. it just means i wld rather be locked in a room with a man with a knife than do anything romantic or sexual with one

#NO OFFENCE TO MEN AS PEOPLE THAT EXIST. but also i shldnt have to say tht after saying this yk #also b4 u say ooh ur aro tho why do u need to specifcy u wldnt do anything romantic w a man when i wldnt with a woman either #i am actually pretty romance favorable. like i would be in a romantic relationship with a woman if it wldnt ruin my life #with how it is rn . i think i like and want all the parts tht make up a romantic relationship i just dont experince romantic attraction #but anyway i was here to talk abt my sexuality not my romantic orientation #this post was originally like 'im remembering why there was such a huge overlap with my og major starkid hyperfixation #and me identifing as bisexual' but the thing is is the main main guy from starkid i remember being attracted too #was infact . rob. and thats aged badly bc of it being revealed that hes a fucking creep since then #but also just now not that we should ignore tht but regardless of that i just. dont see it at all #maybe it is that news subconsiously turning me off him but i really dont see that much what i liked abt his appearance #but who rly inspired this post to me is infact . jeff blim ? which is suprising just from the fact tht i dont ever remember #having tht big of a crush on him with that og starkid hyperfixation. but well he is a very beautiful man . giggling a little bit. sorry . #also becoming a bit obsessed with joey richter but thts just standard lesbian obssesion with a weird little man #not attractive to me im just obssesed with him. hi #also posting this now so when i finally watch the fnaf movie i can rb it abt josh hutcherson #anyway. does anyone read these tags do these long rants i go on like. turn ppl off of my posts. sometimes i wonder #flappy rambles

a little sketch as a treat bc im thinking its repo the genetic opera au hours

this is more of an actor's au type thing bc im wrasling with whether or not the necessary changes to repo's plot/hazbin's characterizations would actually make sense for this to be a real au

but i really want to draw some screenshots from the movie as them so started by just doing a quick ref of some of the character designs

husk/angel as the graverobber/amber sweet next mayhaps

#im cooking i think but im not 100% sure whats on the menu #was this inspired by charlie's emo phase? perhaps #a bit of the thought process behind the casting: #Lucifer and charlie are self explanatory #Alastor as rotti because of the whole him pretending to be a father figure to charlie thing #and rosie as mag for similar reasons of actually supporting charlie #the issue with this is that rotti and mag's relationship is not at all reflective of alastor and rosies #and changing that i feel would either be a disservice to the plot of the movie or to alastor and rosie as characters #so actors au instead #hazbin hotel #repo! the genetic opera #charlie morningstar #lucifer morningstar #alastor hazbin hotel #rosie hazbin hotel #charlie hazbin hotel #lucifer hazbin hotel

i dont know what would be worse if amy is never in the sonic movies at all or if they do introduce her in the next one but shes pushed to the side and doesnt get the amount of focus she should be getting considering shes a main character and this is her introductory movie because theres too much other stuff going on with shadow and/or they just completely butcher her character

#amy being such a low priority of the movie team is double frustrating because #shes the only main character who hasnt been introduced yet and theyre already moving on to shadow #completely skipping over any stories involving amy that happened before sa2 #and shes also the only girl in the main game cast and there havent been many actual plot important girl characters in the movies so far #i know the next movie is sa2 inspired and a lot of people are saying amy has to be in it because shes a major character there but .. #to be completely honest with you all. i love amy but theres only like 2 or 3 scenes in sa2 where shes actually important to the plot #and the scenes in question could be easily be rewritten to not involve her . like they did in sonic x that one time . #or they could just be cut entirely because the plot has been changed so much #and then theres also rouge .. i think her chances of being included are a bit higher #because she plays a bigger role in the original plot than amy did and also shadow and rouge are a package deal do not separate #but that one picture going around with little drawings of the characters only having team sonic + shadow on it is not a good sign #though they could also be hiding rouge or amy since shadow was already revealed to be in this theres no point in denying it #but theres been no real hint to amy or rouge at all so it would be a surprise if they were in it #maybe thats part of the reason theyre being so secretive and not letting anything leak this time .. who knows #but idk . i really dont know what to expect here

A short xiaoven scene… 🦋🍃🥰

“Where does it hurt?”

“Everywhere.”

“Where doesn’t it hurt?”

(7-4-2023)

- - -

Venti opened the door, spilling a sliver of moonlight into the room with a soft creak, and padded over to the bed. Gingerly, he set down a bowl of hot water and a washcloth, glancing at the state of his lover’s bandages. He sighed in relief — he had changed them three times already, and finally the blood seemed to have stopped seeping through. There were just a few more small cuts and bruises that looked like they could use some extra care.

Xiao cracked an eye open at the rustle of silk and the sensation of a warm cloth being pressed to his cheek. His aching fingers twitched, grasping for his spear, searching desperately through thin air. But instead of his weapon, fingers, warm and light, found his palm, and a hand slid into his own, a thumb caressing his bruised knuckles. He opened his eyes fully to see the face of his lover, and he felt the sigh of a gentle breeze run through the room.

“Venti…”

“Hello dearest,” Venti cooed, placing his cloth at the bedside. “How are you feeling?”

“…hurts,” Xiao rasped.

“Hmm.. Where does it hurt?”

“Everywhere.”

A pause lingered between the two. Venti’s eyes shone a little brighter, moonlight reflecting off the tears forming.

With a feather-light stroke to his lover’s cheek, he grounded himself, “Where doesn’t it hurt?”

Xiao’s eyes softened, carefully raising his arm and pointing to his elbow, “Here.”

A bit of tension lifted from Venti’s shoulders, his pained expression melting into the tiniest of smiles. Leaning forward, he placed a small, loving peck on Xiao’s elbow.

“Where else?”

“Here,” Xiao pointed to the tip of his shoulder.

“Hm,” Venti leaned further forward, dropping a light kiss to his shoulder. A single shimmering drop fell onto his dearest’s bandaged chest.

Lifting his head and smoothing the skin of Xiao’s cheek once more, he whispered, “Where else?”

Xiao didn’t answer. But his eyes shone with renewed vitality, with affection, and with tears pricking at the corners.

Please.

Cupping his cheek with the utmost care, Venti leaned down and pressed a soft peck to his dearest’s lips. And then another. And then a few more for good measure.

“Stay with me tonight?”

“Of course, love. Always.”

to convey just how much i loved NOPE, i actually go out of my way to look for analyses, gifsets and fanart. like, i go into the tag for this movie, and look at/read stuff. this may not sound impressive, but if you know me, personally, i’m not a ‘fandom’ person. a mix between me being an anhedonic weirdo who is naturally pretty disinterested in most things, my brain just not being wired to crave fan content, and also Knowing Better than to look directly at the fandom of anything i do enjoy for my own good. either way, even when i love something to pieces, i pretty much literally never do that kinda of thing.

its just such a mentally engaging film packed to bursting with things to examine and admire and such an interesting theme/core message that is not something you see often, while being so masterfully crafted visually on top of that that i am still thinking about it weeks and weeks later and wanting to see other people’s ruminations as well.

#sporadic warbling #its one of those movies that i only like more and more the longer i think about it #and i DO think about it more and more bc it inspires thought #the only reason i dont ramble about specifics are go on a rare Veri Reblogs Stuff spree #is i wanna give a bit more time for others to see it #normally i think being hung up on spoilers is a detriment but its not even like critical reveals or plot beats #its just the kinda film that very much benefits from being seen blind #anyway watch NOPE #though if you have claustrophobia there is a scene that is very likely to Get you bad so be prepared for that #actually i might make a full potential trigger warning list later if anyone would like one

How have I been in fandom for - going on 8 years (?) and not gotten into fanvids before?? All the association I could have been making.... All the memories.... All the composition and clever editing....

#going a little bit insane frankly #it's been about a month of absolute and utter mcu frenzy in my brain and i'm. vibrating #truly feels like some kind of intense fever at times #i've rewatched talitha78's set fire to the rain vid so many times it entrances me #it's to the point where every time i see that shot of loki grabbing mjolnir i hear 'you rose to claim it' #btw hello 13 years late to the party but like. 20 seconds in and i felt like that vid unlocked something in my artist brain #no because the lyrics are 'i let it fall / my heart / and as it fell / you rose to claim it' right #and so she puts clips of thor being banished and losing mjolnir and then loki trying to grab it #which. the interaction between the song and the video making mjolnir thor's heart.... not even 20 seconds!! #it's so clean to me #it's like when i actually took a good look at bill cipher's design and realised he had such expressive potential #and i had to do like a page of doodles about it #in 20 seconds that fanvid from 2011 made me want to make animatics so so bad #which btw i watched it partly because a fic i liked cited it as an inspiration #and partly because i looked at the dates #and realised that the creator put it out like not even two weeks after the movie came out?? #absolutely insane. i love this so much #this is like having a family heirloom in your hands #grandma lending me the necklace she wore to her first date with grandpa for my anniversary dinner or something #i have just entered a new fandom and the fans who were here before are showing me what it was like when they'd just arrived too #the sacred texts and such also #anyway. man i love fandom. #wow i have a ramble tag now

I've been working on a big project on and off for five months now and man. I'm so tempted to post it on my main YT channel even though it has literally nothing to do with Vocaloid.

Either way the project is ranking every single Pokemon based on what I think their sexuality is. I've already ranked every single Pokemon (that literally only took me one day) but I'm doing individual analyses (w varying degrees of seriousness) for every individual Pokemon and form. So I ended up ranking about 1,500 Pokemon once you include forms because I ranked every single Unown letter, every possible Alcremie form, etc.

I've also made a spreadsheet where I'm inputting this data along with other data (Gay% and Homophobic%, for example) so that I can have statistics to generate too. Tell people what type is the gayest, most homophobic, etc. Might throw gender in there too but I'm trying to finish one aspect at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. Working on the notes right now. Here's some highlights:

I bought a microphone just so that I can turn this into a long-form YT video when I'm finished. One day you will get to hear how horrifically flat my affect is. It's truly going to be a video by autistics, for autistics.

#talking #I stopped working on this for a while but I'm back at it again #I finally watched iBinged iCarly and that dude has inspired me to be insane #I aspire to be on his level of commitment to the bit #It'll be a while before I finish this but when I'm done I'm tempted to do a video inspired by the one I watched #Where I like watch every single episode of Pokemon and review them. Maybe even rank em #Or I'll start smaller and do that with the Pokemon movies like the dude who watched every Barbie movie #Except I'll actually go into detail on every single movie #I like Pokemon a normal amount

[always-a-joyful-note]

Thinking some fandom thoughts and then about ORV's portrayal of an author-character-reader relationship with the story and realising how....lacking at times the whole death of the author perspective on media can be.

(Turned out to be long and rambly so I put it under a cut. If you like death of the author, probably not for your worldview? Also, beware major ORV spoilers if you care about that)

Like, perhaps I'm misinterpreting something here, but in ORV, we had these three characters plus an entire system that gave us a look into the relationship between author/reader/character. And focusing on the Han Sooyoung, Kim Dokja, and Yoo Joonghyuk dynamic, I realise that none of them really died. Pushing asides Joonghyuk and Dokja for the moment (as I am talking about death of the author), we have Han Sooyoung whose consciousness faded after finishing Ways of Survival.

However, I don't know if we can really call that death of the author, really. Because Sooyoung's whole purpose in writing ORV, her authorial intention, was to save Kim Dokja's life...which she DID. And even after the story left her hands, her intentions were imprinted into the story itself. Yes, Dokja realised that the system was lenient to him because of (spoiler alert) his status as the OD. But at the same time, I think that Han Sooyoung's authorial intent to keep Dokja alive with WoS can also be taken as a factor in the system's leniency towards our reader.

And just jumping from that back to my original point, while death of the author IS fun and can be awesome for reinterpreting stories that the author may have intended as problematic (to our modern standards, at least), to separate the actual story itself from its creator seems just....a tad disrespectful to the author.

Or maybe disrespectful isn't the right word. Like, say, even if said author is objectively the worst of humans, there remains the fact that the story in essence has part of them embedded into it. It doesn't make sense, at least to me, to only give "morally okay" writers the allowance of people who put a part of themselves in their works. Any writer, even those who are writing for money imo, can't help but put part of their own selves into their story...and to separate the story from the author just because we hate the author or hate their beliefs seems a bit counter-productive. You can't just say, after all, that this author's vulnerability in their writing is okay because it's Correct but this other guy's vulnerability should be ignored because it's chalk full of Problematic Content.

But again, that's not to justify authors you dislike or the deeply wrong messages implied in their works. Especially those that could easily be shooed away by employing death of the author. But I think I'd consider fanfic or analyses that ignore authorial intent and their message to be something...new entirely? (Best way I can say it is something something death of an author employed to help the reader create their own narrative inspired by someone else's story rather than it being used to ignore author intent and claim our interpretation is what canon actually meant).

I think there's a saying in music as well as writing that you could play the same exact score or write the same story, it's just that things will come out different depending on the player or writer. (That's not a perfect comparison because the player/musician who WROTE the score could be considered a reader/author relationship...the point is more that the same thing will look different in the hands of different people. And that just as the reader will interpret something in their own way when reading/re-reading (another ORV reference), the author also has placed in their own interpretation and intent in that own work...which should at worst be respected because they DID make that content (and then we proceed to brutally revise it to make something we like better xD) or at best be taken as "word of god" for lack of a better term)

Not sure if any of this makes sense, and I definitely don't have any factual evidence to back up this opinion, but it was just something I was thinking of.

TL:dR? Death of the author is FUN and actually pretty cool but I think the things coming out of it are new(ish) things/works entirely, and og author's beliefs/intentions are important to consider for that text they wrote in of itself.

#honestly this thought came from scrolling through the narnia tag and feeling slight despair over movies vs book #and also a bit of a surprise at how MANY people still believe in the problem of susan....like i thought we were past that? #and how many people dont seem to get or like that cs lewis' christianity deeply inspired it #or how much historical and cultural context we might need to understand some of the choices #like the pevensies whole isekai regressions #another example i can think of is lotr....and another is funny enough the bible #but those arent things i know well enough #but yeah....orv and narnia conspiring together for this nonsense of mine #again disclaimer this really isnt meant to attack anyone or say im right...its just another opinion to be lost in the sea of internet #but yeah....i did kinda get carried away xD...my poor rambles never get any good transitions #fandom spamdom #note's nonsense #things about writing #orv spoilers #another disclaimer i wrote this after having been awake for like....almost 19 hours coherence be gone #but yeeting it into the void nevertheless #i also think there was a post circulating once that talked about death of the author not being actually used in academic circles #excuse me rambling in the tags

similar yet somehow opposite

#i am a broken man #i wonder if the 1979 movie got inspiration from that particular passage #it's the parallels that do it for me #the way da ji didn't actually do anything but the conflict began and the way nezha did. everything. and caused the conflict #and how these dads tell their children what will happen to their families. but in similar yet opposite ways #su hu is just. filled with Love and Sadness and Li Jing is just full of grief and disdain #li jing tied his son up and still couldn't bring himself to kill nezha #i honestly don't think any li jing adaptation is as bad as how he is in the book #just the fact he hesitated shows he does love nezha at least a little bit #nezha #li nezha #li jing #da ji #su hu #fengshen yanyi #investiture of the gods #nezha conquers the dragon king 1979

ok so apparently bc im bored and i love traumatizing myself i went ahead and read the summaries for the human centipede sequels and jesus christ reading the receptions alone i genuinely think the director is a massive freak. like. beyond making a movie About That just for shock value.

#like hes already a bit weird for it but like according to wikipedia a high school teacherwas fired for showing the second movie #and he sent her an autographed copy of the film and laughed abt how it was an appropriate movie #and theres a whole ass rant on there where he bitches about the film being censored w the SA scenes being taken out #bc they were ''artful'' and ''its supposed to be scary you guys are just WEAK'' #tbh even if its just made to gross ppl out and its got a very innappropriate inspiration (literally they compare it to nazis) #the first film from the summary has like... ok its nothing its just shock value its just ''what if this gross thing happened'' #but at the very least it looks like it had... something in mind? a barebones idea of horror and tragedy? #the sequels i cant even say that for its literally just ''what if FUCKED UP SHIT HAPPENED'' every single paragraph #and also comes across as extremely ableist from the summary alone im sure its worse in the actual thing #god. domino meme to me watching the music video to red flags to me knowing abt The Horrors #echoed voice #rape mention #in tags

god i love lotr especially the online fandom bc i might not be a part of it but knowing that one of my dads most formative pieces of media something that he told me stories about in great detail (he knows the lore by heart) making me grow up hearing about it, is also some 17 year olds source of gay fanfiction is simply the best thing

#im not kidding btw lotr was a huge part in the bond me and my dad have its the reason why my dad likes medieval fantasy #which he passed down to me so ots the reason i lile medieval europe fantasy and history #but my favorite book was never lotr its another one by some italian lady #but i always considered it a like???? dude bro heavy metal liker thing. like its so nerdy. the stereotypical kind kf nerdy #to me and stuff thats what lotr meant. heavy metal guys in their 30s dad time and big book. #so finding a whole community of younger queer people who like it online in a COMPLETELY different way is SO NICE #inspires me to actually finish reading the book #(it was kind of boring for me granted i was 12 and had just rea what i perceived as the coolest books ever) #(like the starting section is genuinely very boring but i picked it up again one of these days and actually likes it) #(even if its a bit of an infodump that could be conveied inside the story) #(but you could argue it *is* inside the story seeing that the author writing it is a character #(not a character in the book like. he isnt tolkien tolkien wrote his books introduction woth full imersion in my mind i think) #(but even if it seems a little bit unnecessary it actually provides a lot of insight to the hobbits history that is pretty cool to the stor #it gives ot that extra layer of understanding of the whole universe and middle earth which really increases imersion) #(((ive never read kt but i did watch the movies which YES i know isny The Real Authentic Thing give me a break))) #sg.txt
