I just said this in a reply, but more concise genre thought: This is the only medieval fantasy novel I've ever read where it's an EARLY -- as in Dark Ages, 600-1100 AD -- medieval fantasy (hilarious genre implications) and it's an incredible ride. I keep telling friends it's like reading Pratchett and catching the puns and references and entire retellings and knowing you've missed stuff that's going to suddenly become clear 10 years from now while you yell.

#i assume Tolkien-inspired Medieval Fantasy (modern genre) immediately cross-pollinated with Arthuriana and gave birth to many tiny knights #already in full plate armor #ready to have an affair and consider witches a social evil #I love Arthuriana too!! but more as a spectator i guess?#with Old English I've had my hands in its proverbial guts a couple times. we have something weird and special.#and i'm glad to see its storyworlds (among others) out in the wild #astro lotr

was not expecting this Quran commentary to call out Martin Luther by name as a negative influence on theology. he's officially been roasted by all religions now probably

#this was specifically about how he made religion too much of a personal relationship #“it is all too obvious that this genre of modernist 'islam' is the progeny of Martin Luther with cross-pollination from Rousseau” LOL #from the maarif al-quran on quran.com btw. i don't own any commentaries yet

@greggs-mistflower, this is *your* fault...! :)

Via the comments here:

I really can't justify asking her to put in effort to make a classic romance cover too. A shirtless Herewiss (with extra blacksmithing muscles) bending Freelorn backwards, about to kiss him. The title would be better as "Flaming Love".

What, you mean like this?

(adding a cut so that no one gets scandalized*)

Just an experiment, mostly about sorting out the lighting.

...Which is a bit too flat. I made the mistake of turning up the outside-the-forge light from the sky too high, and as a result lost considerable modeling on the figures. (shrug) Oh well... we learn by doing. I'll turn that down on the next pass and restore the original in-room lighting.

Also possibly make Lorn's shirt a little more diaphanous... because why not, if we've shoved him into that particular role.** (snicker) And make that bend-back deeper. ...And see about some other minor changes. For example: where the hell have their pinkies gone? I must have adjusted those four or five times. Make sure everybody's eyes are pointing in the right direction, and doublecheck their expressions. (Too often the figures in bodice-ripper poses have a tendency to look a little, well, constipated.) Mess around with the fire (which I borrowed from another set, the much-loved Red Crow Inn, and just chucked into that space to see what it would do for the lighting.)

*But see also one of the local operating principles: "Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry. Make 'em wait." :)

**An amused comment from the background: "I am reliably informed that I am versatile. Next time I expect to be the one doing the bending-back."

THE WEIRD AL-CANA - 04. THE EMPEROR- DOG EAT DOG

---

on the other hand, the emperor is the 'masculine' card and all about things like authority and structure, which I think works very well for our funny business boy here. this one made me very excited purely because I love the david byrne Big Suit so getting to honor it here was fun :)

[Prev Card]

#alloyart #weird al #weird al yankovic #weird al-cana #i love this song a LOT but i dont think thats surprising #i think most al fans are also crossed over with fans of other Weird Music (see also: devo oingo boingo talking heads ect)#80s new wave is one of my fave genres in general theres lots of stuff to love there

Gael García Bernal in Desierto (2015, dir. Jonás Cuarón)

(these gifs also feature Alondra Hidalgo)

[other gael filmography gifsets]

#gael garcía bernal #desierto #ggb filmography gifs #desierto 2015 #gael garcia bernal #this is ultimately a pretty standard thriller of the being-chased-by-an-inexorable-killer type #where the cast is picked off one by one until only the most conventionally physically attractive remain #this is good news for gael's character #on account of being played by gael #i think this one is elevated by the setting both in terms of beauty (it is stunning) and by making effective plot use of it #that apparently meant they were shooting two hours' drive away from the nearest towns with no cellphone reception etc.#which may be why we don't see more films set here #also elevated by the performances which are uniformly good #also elevated by the themes (jeffrey dean morgan's antagonist is targeting migrants crossing the border)#so we're back in the territory explored in documentaries like who is dayani cristal but this time as fictional thriller #this film came out as the trump wall discourse was hotting up and that was naturally something that got talked about in interviews #clever inclusion of antagonist's dog which effectively constrains what the characters could do to get out of the situation #so unlike in many films of this type there isn't a screamingly obvious course of action that they should have taken but unaccountably don't #still it remains a genre film sticking broadly to the conventions of that genre so the plot isn't going to astonish you #i've still avoided giffing the most spoilery moments though #tbh i suspect gael's character is still screwed at the end but then i think that's also the point (see: themes)

I'll never forgive Don Mancini for a lot of things he's done on Chucky, but I think the most angering one is probably making the one (most obviously) autistic-coded child turn evil.

Why is it that anime that mainly features a heterosexual couple always have such gay undertones like??

#aaronymous ramblings #komi can't communicate #kaguya sama love is war #spy x family #saiki kusou no psi nan #the disastrous life of saiki k.#okay saiki k doesnt really count but come on #my dress up darling #toliet bound hanako kun #literally 90% of anime in the romance comedy genre that ive watched recently or not recently #some examples:#shoko komi and manbaga i am so sorry if thats not her name but them sitting on the stairs in the manga and having that heart to heart…#horimiya #hori worried about other men stealing her man and not other women #my dress up darling characters just being hopelessly bisexual #love chunibyo & other delusions #monthly girls' nozaki kun #yor simping over a random woman coming into her home unnanounced #tadano cross dressing and being very close with other men #kaguya simping over the presidents sister #honestly this could be some form of like strange homophobia thats reached 6 layers of irony and has come around to being embraced by the gay

genuine question but is there any fandom where a character is well written by the majority. im thinking about fandom culture and the spread of frustration when people dont write characters well but. honestly in all the fandoms ive been in there's only like, a Select number of authors who i trust to write Well, let alone write Well AND In Character. character analysis and writing and getting inside characters' heads are all separate skills (all of which are trained by roleplaying fyi can CONFIRM playing pretend with your friends is good for you). there's been more than once where I've disagreed with an interpretation that others agreed with, and then I turned out wrong. or i turned out right. like it doesnt matter WHO is right it just matters that differences in character analysis exist, so even if you DO write well AND write in character, your in character is still going to be someone else's out of character

there's this sort of. vibe. that to play in the sandbox you Need to be able to make a castle, and if you can't make a castle then you shouldn't bother, and it completely dismisses the idea that youre in that sandbox to PLAY in the first place. there's this Weight of disappointing someone if you can't build something that they like, but that forgets that you aren't there to build them a castle. like, be KIND. if you disagree with someone then please make an effort to do so kindly. i dont give a shit about fandom discourse but there is a reason kids get removed from sandboxes if they keep throwing sand in people's eyes. but if they don't like your misshapen sand pile, then youre not obligated to change it. even if you yourself end up hating that same sand pile later- youre not building a legacy. youre playing. and sometimes the result of that play is out of character drivel. theres a reason there are so many authors and so few who i like to consistently read and thats because everyone is Fucking Around in their hobby space. hash tag brag or whatever but i can build castles. ive built several that im v proud of. ive also dug holes in the sand for fun and then tripped on them when trying to get up. I often dug a hole and then got up and fucking- whoops, its a castle now, and i didn't realize i'd made something to be proud of until after the fact. the whole time while creating shit i was Convinced it was bullshit that didn't make sense. and then other times i was Convinced it was bullshit and then i was Right and i can look back and go. huh. ew. but it doesn't matter what the end result was, because i had fun playing in the sandbox

this wasn't meant to turn into a ramble but i have Feelings about bad art and art that's badly perceived and how public perception can screw with your head and how making art youre proud of is fucking. it's so difficult!!! it's hard!! it's really fun, which is why i try to make it, but i promise you it is Okay to not tryhard creativity. even if you CAN, it's okay not to do it all the time. or ever, even. fuck around find out have fun etc

#NOT a discourse post i am musing out loud #there's discourse goign around the dash rn or i wouldnt mention it #but the past few weeks ive seen a lot of “DONT fucking mischaracterize my guy my fuckign god”#which is one of the most frustrating pet peeve there is #but i think a lot too about little baby me #fresh on her writing journey #and how discouraged i would be if someone pointed out the mistakes id made #i made a Lot of fuckups #and i also think about this one fic where one of the characters was INCREDIBLY out of character #me today would not be able to stomach reading it #but baby me was so ENCHANTED #and it introduced to me the concept that you dont always know the reason someone does something #and it made me read even more #and because of that i eventually found Expert Skill level fics #which introduced me to MANY little tricks and fidgets ive tried to implement #there were so so many reviews on that fic that called it shit or complained about the bad characterization #but a decade later i still think about it #there were several very corny mine/craft horror fics i read #which back in the day would be called cringe #and those were what inspired me to write my first horror fic and now im Enchanted by the whole genre #theres a lot of stuff i dont like to read but i like that other people are enjoying themselves #i dont know how to be succinct i hope my point is coming across well #this ties into my thing where fiction is for you first others later #here are my credentials: bb/h fan since before the elections (hi i was the guy who noticed his lack of armour post elections)#and a cross-fandom comment trend of people going 'woa i can see this happening in canon'#im not talking out my ass i genuinely think its more important to have fun than to write accurate characterization #which. is a more 'duh' and clarifying thing than everything else ive written #but ah well c'est la vie #also also just realized this could be interpreted like that- NOT an attack on people who complain about mischaracterization either lmao #i do that too w friends. this is to reassure people who put pressure on themselves to create things Well all the time

Philosophical ask game: Sophia Hess/Emma Barnes. Whichever you’d prefer.

SEND ME A WILDBOW CHARACTER YOU LOVE. I WILL TELL YOU WHICH PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT EXPERIMENT YOU SHOULD GET REALLY OPINIONATED ABOUT (SLASH DEVELOP A PSYCHOSEXUAL FIXATION ON)

Fans of Sophia Hess and the rest of the Trio should read Three Versions of Judas by Jorge Luis Borges!

What do I get to be in this story, besides a monster? What purpose do I serve outside of tormenting the savior, bringing her down so she can rise up? My name is an insult, my image invoked to curse at, and yet nothing would've been possible had I not been there. Was I not a key part of the one path, the great plan for salvation? They talk about how the savior sacrificed themselves for everyone. But she got up again to live a second life. The great plan needed someone damned for all time, and I've gotten no resurrection. Tell me whose sacrifice was greater.

(Other answers here)

#insert the part of Shelved By Genre where they talk about how the only thing we have record of Jesus making was a whip #and that the person who made the cross he died on was a carpenter too #wildbow #sophia hess #parahumans #wormblr #leo says #thought experiment ask game #this post brought to you by Carl Anderson's portrayal of Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar #my first introduction to the character and to the story of Christ

Additional 2024 writing goal:

No more boxes.

#Writer does not equal novelist. Shorter forms “count” too. As do hybrid forms like comics.#Poetry can be genre or cross-genre or multi-genre. You can fully write a murder mystery poem if you want.#You don't have to write to trend or to tradition. You don't even have to “artfully” write outside of them in a “meaningful” way #There are so many experiments I want to do with form & genre so why not use the new year to do it
