OUT OF TIME

#artists on tumblr #cinema #goncharov #katya #illustration #love how martin scorsese kept clocks in frame to show these characters are all running out of time #digital art #with a hat nod to saul bass #unreality #<— the goncharov movie doesn’t actually exist it’s a bit everyone is doing #anyway I love noir stuff! this was fun lmao #also Marlowe sorry for recycling your caption I discovered too late that English has NO other good idioms for it #was working off the idea of 'the 11th hour' but that felt too on the nose to put as caption too. i take my shitposting seriously

I really appriciate how often Machete is depicted struggling and feeling like a burden, while still being loved and supported by Vasco. It gives the top tier angst of "i'm not good enough, I'm not worth it" but you frame it in such a way where it's clear that's just how he *feels* and is not how things really are, but also it's so nice to see someone who struggles quite often in a loving and unique relationship that suits them. The narrative of not being able to love or be loved unless you're consistently healthy is really tiring lol.

#ah thank you! I'm so glad these themes come through the way I intended #this touches on something that I've been thinking a lot so sorry if this gets a bit ranty #but I have massive personal beef with the sentiment “you have to love yourself before you can love someone else/someone else can love you ” #I hate it with a passion #I know it's meant to encourage positive growth and I get that self-love and healthy self-image are something you should strive for #but it also sort of sends the message that people who struggle with these sort of issues don't deserve to be loved #not until they reach some external invisible standard of “okay I'm normal and well adjusted now” #“perhaps now I'm worthy of entering a relationship without the danger of dragging the other person down with me” #people who aren't in perfect health mentally or physically already feel like they're inconveniencing others with their mere existence #depriving them of the possibility or even the idea of loving and being loved won't make them better #it's just a stupid idiom it doesn't matter but to me it just comes across as unspeakably cruel way to think #and it rustles my jimmies #answered #anonymous

"distant relative" i assume you are referring to my father?

#happy father's day everyone! #mine was fucking terrible he received a C- rating at best #and that is me being fucking GENEROUS with the grading rubric yeah #anyway i love and respect anyone who feels the need to quietly publicly shame their negligent father figure on anonymous social media #there should be a RateMyProfessor website but it's RateMyParents #it would serve no possible practical purpose but it would be as potentially psychologically scalding as a ghost pepper and/or supernova so. #do it #.......that could actually be so interesting #comparing and contrasting the reviews of siblings and half-siblings and step-siblings #the differences in parental perception between the Black Sheep/Scapegoat and the Golden Child and the Middle Child and So On #(on that note why are the two main idioms for being blacklisted in your own family both *livestock* related who laid that groundwork) #ANYway. back to RateMyFather #this one dad gets nine 5-star reviews and one absolutely SCATHING no-stars review #which mathematically leaves him with a 4.5 rating BUT #the main thing you are left wondering is how did one dad end up with TEN reviews that is in itself an Indictment

Heavy is The Hand that raised you

Madman's rambling about colors and sticks under the cut.

Since I've posted that Watermelon Red 2 days ago and find it really cute, it got me thinking.

What if born sticks got more than their parents mix color?

So here's Purple with pink iris from his mom and his hair turning dark blue the more it grows.

Yeah, sure why not.

Another thought came to mind.

What about the hollow heads?

And my mind churned up an image of the hollow heads with stick!Alan's purple in their hair.

Chosen and victim would have lighter purple because he doesn't have a deep connection to them, with Chosen being created as a plaything and victim as a mistake.

Orange and Dark would have deeper purple. With Orange, even though he was created by accident, he was a happy accident. In ava episode 4 when Orange drew his backup to fight Alan, the scribbles were Alan's scribbles too. Alan saw a part of him in this Orange stick figure and decided that yeah, he'll keep this one. And if YouTube comments are to be believed, the color orange is his favourite color.

With Dark on the other hand, his purple is deep because he was supposed to be Alan's partner. Dark is the only stick figure that he created his extension, his right hand man. Alan would be the judge and the jury while TDL is the executioner. He'd had enough of The Chosen One and he wanted him gone from his PC, and so The Dark Lord came to be. But Alan let his guard down, confident that Dark would finish the job, he never anticipated Chosen would paint his confidence in Dark's ability with indifference, thus successfully turning TDL against their creator.

I have more thoughts about TDL but this shit is getting longer and am getting real hungry and this whole thing just came to be because I wanted Purple angst where, whenever he looks at the mirror, he'll be reminded of the mother he lost and the father who abandoned him ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

#what if i combine idioms and make bs of mine own (⁠◍⁠Ӧ_Ӧ◍⁠) #Working this while my brain plays Electric Love on repeat lol #Almost titled this one after the song just for funsies #4 koma #avm purple #avm dark blue #avm royal blue #avm navy #alan becker #animation vs minecraft #animator vs animation #animation vs animator

“Gimli was lifted up [onto the horse] behind his friend, and he clung to [Legolas], not much more at ease than Sam Gamgee in a boat.”

-The Two Towers pg. 35

Friendly reminder that the one time Gimli got onto a horse for the first time and hated it so much that he was compared to Sam in a boat, who had multiple paragraphs dedicated to how much he hated boats.

#yes this is supposed to be an actual friendly reminder #I love it when books have so many details #That they are able to refer to past things like an inside joke #also refer to my Queen Beruthiel idiom post #I freaking love this comparison tho it’s so funny #(>ヮ<)• #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #just yelling into the void #the lord of the rings #the two towers #tolkien quotes #quotes #gimli #legolas #sam gamgee #arod #arod the horse

When the whole team is losing it so you make an intervention about "People who are hurting hurt others", but one only understands the "People who are hurting" part and the other only cares about the "hurt others" part......

(Putting the pencil ones under the cut because I like them more tbh)

#I've just discovered this saying !! I like it a lot it sounds silly but it gets the message across =) #(Same goes with 'On it boss' btw.

I really like how StarClan is depicted in your rewrite. In one of the field guides, it’s stated that StarClan are not that much wiser than the living cats, and that all they have to guide them is visions of the future, which they can only warn the living cats about. Besides the first arc, I think that’s my favorite depiction of StarClan because it allows them nuance. However, I think your version does improve on that concept by actually implementing it and showing that the Dark Forest and StarClan have ideals that change over time, much like the world of the living. Anyways, keep up the good work!

I feel like canon StarClan is such a waffling, wasted opportunity. It's like the writers are so afraid of unpacking their religious biases that they can't say anything meaningful

StarClan has to control nothing at all because Cat Free Will, but also be a powerful entity that can physically interact with the mortal plane through fighting demons or possessing people

They have to both be wise, prophetic ancestors, but also no smarter than the living cats.

They must be the moral tether preventing the Clan cats from becoming godless heathens, but no more good and kind than a living cat. Bonus points for TBC where StarClan's Love literally burned through Ashfur's Spooky Evil Magic Vines Of Hatred or whatever.

It reminds me a lot of the bitter flavor of protestant Christianity I grew up around, and all the contradictions the adults in my live believed but couldn't articulate. So that's what BB!StarClan is, really. Angels dressed up as god, just as powerful as the living believe they are. Still loving, but prone to anger and self-righteousness. Young, flawed dieties whose sum is greater than its parts.

I'm fascinated by what StarClan could be, in this way.

#Trout buddy I gotta tell you I love that one idiom in spanish you shared #It's been knocking around in my head #'The devil's wisdom is from age not evil' #That's So StarClan. Or what it should be #StarClan's wisdom is from age. Not the cosmos. #Like something like that #A spirit's wisdom is from life not death #bb!StarClan #Better bones au #Bone babble

I'm watching Stripes (1981) now annnd I just realised I have absolutely heard of this movie before but never watched it because 1. military shit, 2. Bill Murray and 3. the German title is 'Ich glaub' mich knutscht ein Elch!'... why.

#it's an idiom. the literal translation is 'I think an elk is kissing/smooching/making out with me' #it just means you're surprised pretty much #but anyway it's a fucking idiotic title for a movie! #man bill murray just gives off such creepy vibes. can't stand him #but I will get through it 😔 for him 😔😔 #yes yes obviously that's the only reason I'm watching it. #john larroquette #what the FUCK bill murray was YOUNGER than I am right now in this movie? I thought he was like 40. he looks older. and in this one specific #case that's not a compliment #phew there he is finally. 22 minutes. that was brutal. the things I will watch just to look at some dude's face. #it is such a lovely face though 😌

disappears off the face of the earth and reappears just to say hey have you guys seen this show?

#you guys should watch this show #lidia poët on netflix it's so delightful #usually like faux feminist historical shows really grate on my nerves but this one was genuinely a good time #maybe because it's funny #or the relationships are all really delightful between the eponymous lidia poët and everyone around her #or maybe im just gay #i wont deny it plays a role #the OUTFITS #also i think theres this like needle to thread is that the idiom when you make a story about like a real life woman who faced sexism #bc like you need conflict to have a story but sometimes that leads to the woman in question just constantly being beaten down #you know what i mean? #sometimes it feels like that #but i think this one does it well #i think bc like lidia faces all the sexism every time she steps out of the house #and also inside the house from her brother and sister in law #but she also has people - men - who love and support her..........disobedience #i think thats well balanced i think thats why it works #also shes just great #funny and obstinate but also kind #theres one moment i wanted to put in the video but couldnt find the right place for #actually two #one where shes talking abt a client to her brother and shes like 'shes an anarchist and a bit of a bitch but shes also innocent' fghjkgh #another time shes talking to her niece abt her crush lorenzo and shes like 'you can tell me. as a lawyer i offer confidentiality' #and her niece is like 'technically youre not a lawyer anymore' #and lidia is like '......bitch. theres nothing wrong with liking him you know' #it's just really cute hgkghh i love the relationships she has with literally everyone in her life #if you wanna watch it for like the lawyer thing you can skip it theres no lawyering being done really #because shes not allowed in court rip #shes more like a bit of a sherlock holmes #you know like the american one with the female watson whats it called.........elementary

The neverland kisnapping AU?

anon this beast is EXTREMELY SELF-INDULGENT and i made it purely and 100% because peter pan has been a fixation of mine since i was a little sprog (specifically the 2003 version with jason isaacs as hook)

TL;DR baz and his siblings are awayed in the night by a sinister faerie creature known as peter pan, who baz finds out has been doing away with the lost boys when they get too old to play his games anymore.

(extra dangerousTM because baz discovers that not only can he be injured like a normal person here, but if you die in never-never-land you DO die in real life)

also finds out that captain hook used to be pan's right-hand playmate as a child and has been rescuing pan's castoffs to try to fight back, the guy takes baz under his wing and teaches him to swordfight. that coat is the one hook was wearing when pan maimed him, and he gave it to baz because it was the only thing he had on hand that would fit a teenager.

"Didst thou ever want to be a pirate, me hearty?"

bonus content when baz gets back to watford simon has a minor crisis about him looking all scarred up and adventurous and rugged

#heavily inspired by things ive heard abt Lost Boy n The Child Thief because my friend really loves em but god help me i cannot find a copy! #baz pitch #the pen is mightier #i have a lot of drawings i never posted just bc they either #1. didnt feel polished enough to justify sharing #2. were of OCs and i've got a little bit of Hangups and IssuesTM about showing those off to the internet #but this peter pan au is very near and dear to my heart because fuck i love PP2003 but also because #i love the intersection of carry on's idiom-based-magic and neverland's imagination-based-magic #EVERYTHING IS STORIES AND SONGS AND WORDS GIVEN POWER. #enjoy my mile long tags i could literally talk about this for hours but i'm big shy

I do want to chew a bit and that's a literal sentence picture me chewing a nonphysical concept like gum on the lore of Dialtown with how phones are made because there is the intention to create this complexity around Callum and his decisions which I'M ALL FOR IT honestly because last time I saw a talking phone tell about his backstory I was left so shocked I had to take a break so it does make me wonder some things like... What even are the negatives of this? Of course it's an operation so it takes time and effort but even on top of that, what age is the surgery done at? How painful is the recovery? Do you need to undergo multiple surgeries as you grow up and your body grows? Is this even optional or is it a matter of peer pressure? Callum's goofy ass self induced dementia makes everything all the much more questionable because you have a world wide build up because of course <- I have feelings towards USA but no final point. I just super adore these things the story has it's so chewable.

#luly talks #dialtown #PEEPAW YOU CRAZY BITCH!!!!!! #i do assume there's somewhat positive fuckin. physical things bc phones aholy shit #holy shit i just realized the most fragile phone in the fucking franchise is a fucking Nokia that's so funny Christ I'm slow #fucking hell randy you've been peed by a dinosaur <- (Spanish idiom) #um anyway uh. #yeah like Callum himself is like a fucking 100 years old #but idk to what extent that applies like look at jerry he's 30 and mf moans and whines like he's at the end of his life #did. he's ok now. i love you jerry. keep healing king #like to honestly judge callum i rlly gotta understand the pros and cons of what he did #bc if it is a completely positive thing that people simply followed bc dude was soooo right for it it's like ok cute! #but if it is . say. capitalism. its likd y'know #like hell who even provides heads? where do they come from? who picks them? #it's so GRURURHWJAUHAJAAIAHJ #i love world building ☹️☹️☹️☹️
