Falling into the dumpster like a little mouse

Falling into the dumpster that is SPN/Destiel/Cockles/Whatever is like being a little mouse and you literally fall into a dumpster. You were just searching for food because you were hungry. And when you rest on the edges of the dumpster to observe what might be into it, you see that there is your favorite food inside. So you try to catch it but not to fall, and other mice are there too.

They tell you that the food is good here, they show you the food, make you smell it, even make you taste it with the tip of your little tongue and pfufff you fall into the dumpster with them.

You try to climb up on the slippery wall of the dumpster a few times, but fail. You take a bite of your favorite food sometimes, spend time with other mice, and then go back to try and climb again but fail again. Since you fail, you might as well eat a little, so you do. You share the food with other mice because they are nice and welcoming, and then you try to climb again. And on and on and on.

After some time, you understand that there is no way out, that you'll have to stay there for the rest of your life, but it's not that bad because there is other mice here with you and there is your favorite food.

But at some point, you won't have food anymore because you all would have shared and eaten every food in there. So you'll just have to wait for someone to throw you something new, maybe your favorite food again, and hopefully you can have another perfect time with other mice in there, sharing the food together. If not, you will all be eating every last crumb, licking old packages that wrapped the food once, again and again, which is still good since you'll have the taste of your favorite food on your little mouse tongue.

Anyway, you can't come out and neither can they, you could unit your strengths and help each other out but the other mice love it there and you start to love it too. It's safe and you have companions that share the same interest, and you'll have food again and again and again, or at least you'll be able to lick old packages tasting so good.

So why go out and risk being eaten by a cat? You might as well just stay there then with your other mice friends and just enjoy it while it lasts, because one day maybe someone, a cruel human, will emtpy the dumpster (I sure hope not). Even if it happens you'll always have shared this with the other mice and will continue to do so one way or another.

AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.

When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.

He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.

Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.

(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #donnie keeps the comms going on in the background as he works #when he gets to the end he’s like what the hell…where’s the rest #donnie: leo where’s part nine #leo barely cognizant after not needing sleep for months: whuh- #donnie: you can’t leave it at a cliffhanger. leo. leo where’s the next part. #listen leo has a great memory for his special interests this is CANON plus he’s a great talker so he would totally be able to do this frfr #whenever he needs to be quiet he’s SILENT but otherwise he’s regaling the exploits of his idols to the captive audience that is The Photo #sometimes Krang sneaks up on him and just listens to him talk like ???? #it starts both as leo trying to comfort himself with his favorite things PLUS comfort himself with thoughts of his father #as splinter makes his own crossover fanfiction when sick lol plus he’s Literally Lou Jitsu #and yes krang ALSO gets a bit invested #leo notices the reduction of Ouch but hey more time for rambling fanfic for him 👍 #idk leo’s a damn good actor/liar/planner/schemer and I genuinely think that can pivot into storytelling so well #the literal second mikey’s hands heal donnie zooms to his side with hand stabilizers and a request to draw ‘scene 82 from recording 3’ #mikey’s like what #so obvs now HE needs to listen as he works #he too gets invested #he comes across raph who mentions having trouble sleeping #mikey: have I got the podcast fanfic for you! #it only somewhat helps raph sleep #somewhat bc sometimes he forces himself to stay awake to hear the rest #yes these recordings go to the whole fam and leo is none the wiser #they don’t even mean to hide it it just never comes up lol #it’s only when donnie FINALLY makes it to the end of the recordings that he confronts leo to continue the story #leo: oH YOU HEARD ALL THAT HUH-

Something about how physically small Ellie looks in this episode just makes it all so much more intense. How little she is curled next to Joel, how big the rifle looks when she holds it, the way David is able to pick her up so easily. The contrast in the size of their hands when he's telling her that she, a 14-year-old, is his only equal, and how tiny hers look when she wraps her arms around Joel; the way his coat reaches her knees when he drapes it over her. Every second the camera spends on her is forcing you to look at how young she is and it just makes it all so much more awful.

#honestly hats off to bella ramsey they deserve an emmy stat for this episode #also proves the point that the problem with the way teens/young people are shown on screen isnt just that they're played by actors much #older but that everything about the way they're written styled and framed wants you to see them as 25 year olds instead of babies #bella is obviously on the younger side of 'older' casting but the show is actively trying to make her look like a child and it works #the last of us #tlou #the last of us spoilers #tlou spoilers #the last of us episode 8 spoilers #ellie williams #ellie tlou #joel miller

when everything's made to be broken (i just want you to know who i am) by @hoteadepresso pt 1

‘Stop.’ Will forced out, shaking his head in disbelief, hurt painting his features ‘Mike, that’s not funny. It’s mean.’ He thought he was joking. Mike was throwing his bleeding heart onto his floor, and he thought it was some sort of a prank. Fuck. ‘You really think I would joke about it?’ his voice sounded like it came from far away, weak and broken. His hand twitched, yearning to touch Will, to take his hand, to brush his fingertips against his warm skin for just one second even if that was all he could ever get.

late happy birthday present for Alex, the bestestest person out there!!!

a little bit of backstory; Once upon a time user @hoteadepresso wrote a fic (click here!!) (read it, its fucking amazing!!!!!!) which I immediately wanted to make fanart of, so, ofc it took me like, over a year to finish just this pt 1 <33

thus, the artstyle changes, which are a thing in this thing

Slowly working out what the creature looks like. Gotta find the balance between handsome and creepy

#Frankenstein #the creature #adam frankenstein #also in my head the creature is voiced by Ralph Ineson #if I knew how AI worked I’d make his voice recite some of the creatures lines or something #or perhaps PayPal the actor himself a fiver and ask politely to record an audiobook lol

[muffinlance]

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

#This is literally Storytelling 101: Show Don't Tell #I'm sorry scriptwriters I know you were working before your union won minimal staffing in writers' rooms and decent pay and all that #but You Know What You Did #Also cgi artists plz unionize #A few more hours on Momo would have maybe taken him further out of the nightmare monkey puppet category #I know some people are reporting him as cute #But all I can see is a creature from the Magnus Archives #that thing is the skin of Momo being worn by something that doesn't quite move right underneath #And maybe it is looking for a better fit #Don't let it touch you adorable child actor Aang #avatar the last airbender #atla #natla #Anyone looking to block the live action posts I'll be tagging all of these with that natla tag going forward #But yeah not going to post about it much #I came I saw I deemed it not worth the hours of my life it asked #I can literally write a better Avatar AU than this #Anyway back to Toph beating up Blind Zuko! #*write write write" #(their big budget fanfic can't hurt me it can only introduce more fans to the original)

if i see you fuckers try to give jkr’s new book the “morbius treatment” i’m going to end you. morbius was a mediocre film no one cared about & it did have jared leto which made it suck more but the film itself wasn’t anything noteworthy afaik, however this book is filled to the brim with bigotry & i would fucking hate to see it get more attention because you morons tried to be funny about a transmisogynist who is actively contributing to worsening the lives of trans women everywhere & especially the UK. think for a fucking second

editing this because some of you are insufferable. i am jewish, disabled, autistic & plural. i know she is all flavours of fascist. this post is specifically bringing up the biggest reason why giving her a platform is bad: the legislations that use her writing as a way to push their claims are specifically anti-trans. i am begging you all to honest to god shut the fuck up & stop expecting this post to be informational on what she's done wrong because that is NOT the purpose. if you want a post citing every wrong deed she's committed, go reblog one. this isn't it. if you dislike my wording so much, steal my post & edit it for yourself.

#perth.txt #also i'm not transfem but as a trans person nonetheless why the fuck would i wanna hear about this book?? #joke or not i DONT want to hear about it. i wanna hear about it tank & thats the end of it. #now the amount of ppl who didnt & still dont know leto is a cult leader is concerning still #but i dont think he made money off the sales? unsure how actors' contracts work #now worth mentioning it still did give him some more visibility but again not enough that ppl even know what he does

So you saw fell in love with Lily Gladstone in Killers of the Flower Moon and now you want her on your screen as much as possible? I’m here to help.

Certain Women directed by Kelly Reichardt

This was the first time I saw Lily Gladstone in anything and I screamed about her specifically for days. The film is segmented into three stories about women living in the northwestern plains region of the US. All three segments are good, but Lily Gladstone’s is by far my favorite. She plays a ranch hand who starts sitting in on a night school law class when she develops a crush on the teacher, played by (bonus!) Kristen Stewart.

Certain Women is streaming on The Criterion Channel, AMC+, and Kanopy (Kanopy is free!). It is also available to rent on the major platforms.

The Unknown Country directed by Morrisa Maltz

This movie is stunning. Think Nomadland but even more stripped down. Lily Gladstone plays a character on a roadtrip to reunite with her estranged family after the death of her grandmother. Along the way she tries to learn more about who her grandmother was in life and reconnect with her memory. A lot of the film is unscripted, and breathtaking shots of the western US landscape punctuate the brief encounters she has at each stop on her journey.

The Unknown Country is available to rent on the major platforms such as Apple TV, Amazon, and YouTube.

Quantum Cowboys directed by Geoff Marslett

This one’s for the multiverse fans. A really fun romp that might make your head hurt if you think about it too hard. Lily Gladstone plays a character in the 1870’s southwest who encounters a pair of travelers stuck in a time loop (sort of). She enlists their help (sort of) in a plan to recover land that was taken from her and in return helps them in their attempt to break their cycle. Most of the film is rotoscope animation, so it’s a completely different type of a performance from Lily Gladstone. I had the extraordinary luck of meeting her at a festival screening last year and they said it was such a fun deviation from their usual hyper realistic work.

Quantum Cowboys is available to rent on major platforms such as Apple TV, Amazon, and YouTube.

Fancy Dance directed by Erica Tremblay

The most recent Lily Gladstone film to blow me away, and maybe my favorite film of 2023. Lily Gladstone plays a character who has been trying to find her missing sister while simultaneously providing care for her sister’s daughter. When it appears she may lose custody, the two hit the road to search for the teen’s mother. It’s sad and sweet and beautiful. I have to warn that the subject matter is heavy and all too real but that’s why it’s an important story. It’s about something that is so pervasive, yet people outside of the community affected turn a blind eye to it.

Fancy Dance will be distributed by Apple this year, exact dates tba. It will be available in theaters and on Apple TV+. Erica Tremblay previously directed Lily Gladstone in the short film Little Chief, which can be found on Vimeo.

#lily gladstone #killers of the flower moon #certain women #the unknown country #quantum cowboys #fancy dance #little chief #these are just the works that really showcase her skill in my opinion #you can also find her in smaller roles in first cow reservation dogs walking out and others #she is unmatched as an actor no matter how small the role #i could go on

this is so!!

omg this is EVERYTHING

#anon #ask #her daughter is a cas and misha stan???? i’m now a kim-rhodes’-daughter-stan #i wonder what they talked about #also how insane would it be to have your mother be in a show with and work with misha and then you watch the show yourself #and then become a fan and can then talk to the actor from the show

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him. #it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself #note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown #when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’ #idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is #and how much his persona is more an actor #Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out- #every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so #since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it #and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are #I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja #his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times #not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo #but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters #or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas) #like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily #it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do #like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero #All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius. #and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential #likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja #but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse #he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it #Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like #you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

I know this has been mentioned many times before, but I'm gonna mention it again, because it just chokes me up: the smile of absolute joy on Stede's face when his crew proclaim him a real pirate.

This man who just wanted real friends and had never felt accepted or loved, and he's got an entire crew of people loudly declaring him to be a pirate, right in the face of one of his childhood bullies who tried to claim him for "my world."

And his crew are like, "No, he's ours!"

Like, that's not just the face of a man relieved that he's going to live. That's someone who really didn't think there was anyone who cared whether he lived or died being told that a whole crew of people love him.

And he immediately gets a bunch of bitchy confidence:

It's so important that it's not just Ed that stands up for him, but all of them.

I dunno, man, it really makes me tear up.

(Also Rhys Darby's ridiculously expressive face that he puts every emotion into so you can see Stede's joy and relief and pride.)

#ofmd #our flag means death #gif #rhys darby #stede bonnet #revenge crew #ofmd season 1 #edward teach #ofmd crew #once more i was working on something else and thought about this scene and just got so choked up #good show man #good show #ofmd meta #the true adventure was the friends we made along the way #also this show lets actors express emotions instead of being stoic all the time and i appreciate that

Annnd done!! Featuring some more progress pictures, and then the end result. It’s not blocked so the outside loops are a bit uneven, but these work up pretty fast and I generally like how they turn out so I’m pretty happy with it :)
