the lamb: yall mind if i explode into tentacles

havin a little fun with the lamb and potential tentacle body horror because i think sometimes they should be gross. why SHOULDN'T these God creatures be an affront to the nature of creation

#cult of the lamb #cult of the lamb fanart #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #cotl oc #cotl fanart #i was just like what if the lamb was like a gross resident evil enemy #*gasps softly* las plagas cultist....... #also i headcanon that narinder can still do that gross face thing but he can't do much else. so he just bothers everyone with it #everyone eventually gets used to it and narinder is like FINE i guess no one appreciates theatrics anymore. fuck off. #the lamb as disgusting and monstrous as ever: hey stop scaring her she's very sensitive :( #neves: *isn't paying attention to the sermon* why is there goo everywhere i hate it here #every sermon has a splash zone. pray u are not in it #U can tell how I got progressively lazier drawing. Sorry. #*continues to shove my oc in your faces* #my art

i think in the hamster wheel of my mind a big part of where people go wrong with eddie and his shitty garage band as an extension is that they for some bizarre reason think he's gene simmons metal when he's jack black metal. heavy metal. he's tenacious d metal. he's school of rock. he's stoner lord of the rings metal he nearly wore blue jeans and plaid. jack black literally in real life once said eddie was the best character bc he's heavy metal like him. LOOK AT THIS

#🍦 #answer it's bc people think he's some mishmash of all alternative scenes without any actual knowledge of where the mashing occurs 😭 #eddie is . a heavy metal guy. A cool one. a nice one even. he likes rock and roll #it's so funny when ppl try and describe it and they've never heard the stuff he actually listens to in their lives for some reason #literally so much of the appeal of eddie's character within his subculture is that its theatrical and dramatic but its still grounded #he's very alternative and Out There but he's still just some guy. he's not wearing spiked leather jackets #in fact he's not wearing any of the other kinds of leather jackets i've seen people say he would ... TO ME #sts #if u haven't seen the clip he then proceeds to air guitar the MoP melody then shouts heavy metal is everywhere #i don't even know how to explain this bc it's like ... okay #the general .. VIBE? aestheticsm? is kind of similar to what people sometimes portray but they're missing thst it's tongue in cheek #like it's like that buff poster of him being this anachronistic homage to heavy metal album covers #fire and satanic imagery and skulls and lightning and big drama and ROCK AND ROLL #it's rock and ROLL man... #and people r making him this weird sanitised dork LOL 😭 when he's a dork in a different more fun way.. imo #and it's not that those types of people don't exist and that they're not cool in their own way cuz they are sure but that's not THIS GUY #he is an 80S METALHEAD... and yeah i try and ground him in thinfs and poke and prod at it until it fits my own understanding of alternative #scenes better but that's bc i've had a hand in the punk scene for years and years #i dunno sometimes i feel like ppl r just not doing the full potential and then going way too hard in this super specific direction #and he ends up first of all usually just a massive douchebag not sure what that's about. But a guy who he would in canon HATE 😭 #YOU ARE MAKING HIM A POSER. is what i'm saying #he is alwyas some guy before he's anything else and before he's that he's a 20 year old loser #you need to reflect this... You need to bottle it. ugh. ugh #so much of this reminds me of the time someone was like he would never wear PLAID #like are you kidding me. are you actually kidding me rn #ppl have this weird arstheticised mostly modern and mostly literallt just eboy Idea of what he'd wear it's crazy to me sorry #also it's ugly #i also think. this is so long lol . anyway . i also think going too ''authentic'' in the 80s metalhead direction also lands u w different #problems. my advice to people trying to write or draw alternative characters is they are People. before they are anything else #🍏

[artronenergy]

enlightenment is such a great dreamy masterpiece of a doctor who episode. like, what if wild blue yonder was a romance.

#some of the strongest visuals in classic who as well #like it suddenly trips into these very theatrical 80s fantasy sensibilities about the lighting and vfx

[leather-field]

My thought process here was basically executors but different kinds of skull

#pathologic #artemy burakh #clara pathologic #im very proud of this clara likeness #thinking more about this… executors are supposed to resemble a Kin deity of death #so like what if the other deities also have theatrical costume representations. That would be fun i think #my art

i saw there was only 2 parts of u playing ace attorney on snapcube 2, did u decide to finish it off stream or smth?

let me tell you a story....

there once was a woman named penny who had an incredible, large group of friends

she loved doing things with these friends, including streams of funny lawyer games

"wow!!! i should do this more often!" she said, after the second time

she really wanted to! so she thought and thought and thought for days. "i should do this again!" she thought.

"it's been two weeks!" she thinks "i should reach out soon and do this again! that will be easy!"

the words never come. there's so much going on! everyone seems busy, or maybe she just doesn't feel particularly present, maybe she wonders if it would be a bother. she's tired that day, or something bad happened, or it's just been so long.

has it been so long??? "it's been two weeks?" she thinks, realizing it's been 3 years.

#theatrics aside #i have awful adhd and i've suspected in recent years social anxiety as well #so i find it very hard to keep in touch with people and plan things #ace attorney is one of many casualties lmao

mulled it over for a while and ultimately decided i'm really digging this arajin-matakara fight, because like

the whole series has set up arajin as a piece of shit fuckhead (and i LOVE that for him) but this whole lying to matakara about wanting to be a honki people thing... is like the one thing he did not actually do

i get real rambly under the cut but tl;dr the way matakara treats arajin is the way arajin treats mahoro and that is suuuch a juicy parallel to me

throughout the whole series arajin has been not at all subtly trying to get away from these fights

could he have been more direct about that with matakara? sure maybe! but matakara was really ignoring all the signs that arajin is not who he thinks he is

which is such a delicious parallel to how arajin willfully ignores all the signs that mahoro is not into him

like. matakara built this version of arajin up in his head, with all these unreasonable, unrealistic, and honestly unfair? expectations based off some past foolishness from when they were very small children. he's clinging to this version of arajin that only exists in his head and has basically shown zero evidence of existing in real life

(yes arajin shows crumbs of courage but i think the scales are tipped pretty heavily towards his I DO NOT WANT ANY PART OF THIS moments)

this fight between them was like if arajin were to blow up at mahoro like "you've been leading me on this whole time!" when obviously. lol. no she has not

she did initially! just like tiny arajin as a child had those honki people ambitions! his ambitions may have been genuine, while mahoro feigned interest in him with malicious intent, but they're same in the sense that after that initial story beat, they have consistently demonstrated that actually no what happened back then no longer applies (whether because they grew out of it, in arajin's case, or they were faking interest in the first place, in mahoro's case)

but arajin is blinded by what he wants (mahoro) and ignores the reality of mahoro snubbing him at every turn, and matakara does the same, ignoring the reality of arajin really just... being extremely reluctant to have anything at all to do with him

anyway that's the main thing i'm chewing on and loving here, but ALSO i think the story paints this parallel in such an interesting way because like

matakara is just a big sweet ouppy dog of a boy! it's so so so easy to feel sorry for him, to root for him, to think the best of him. which i still do btw, in fact this episode made me like him more than i already did

because matakara is so uwu angelboy perfect, and arajin is such a dickhead, it's easy to instinctively think oh matakara must be completely right to be hurt and arajin must have hurt him. even if that isn't the case! this doesn't make arajin any less of a dickhead, but he's a dickhead mainly for other reasons

the fact that they've been set up as the perfect epitome of the Pure Boy and the Pervy Boy tropes is just such clever framing for this parallel between them, because i imagine a lot of viewers, if told what mataakara is doing to arajin is what arajin is doing to mahoro, would be like omg wtf no my pure angel baby is nothing like that disgusting freak?

except in this case! he literally is!! which is brilliant!!! i think it adds nuance to both matakara's character and arajin's character at the same time, making it so it's not just one of them is Perfect and one of them is Wrong All The Time

what's even better is that this made sense for matakara, like his reaction breaks him out of the Pure Angel mold but doesn't feel out of character. his emotions are already running high with what happened to his brother, plus akutaro is malewife mansplain manipulating him behind the scenes, so of course he feels like he's driven towards this emotional high that leads to this blowup

the groundwork was already laid out, and it wasn't even subtle. it was right on the surface! but this episode really highlighted how matakara's way of treating arajin is so much like arajin's way of treating mahoro and how inevitable it was that things would reach this point

(there are moments, even in this episode, that are in hindsight so clearly setting up this parallel! like arajin trying to talk to mahoro during lunch, mahoro CLEARLY not interested, making viewers think ugh arajin get a clue. then matakara often IMMEDIATELY coming in to try to talk to arajin, when arajin is the one who clearly isn't interested, making viewers think boo arajin be nicer to him! like i think the show deliberately set the audience up to have those emotional reactions, and this is the moment where the rug is pulled out from under us, so to speak, where it becomes even more obvious that... wait... double standard much?)

anyway. personally my only gripe with this episode is i wished they'd done more with aniki than just pseudo-fridge him, and hope they do still do more with him in the coming eps? but kind of understandable if they don't, because it is just a one-cour show after all

the actual blowup between arajin and matakara was just. mawh, chef's kiss. perfect

#crab watches #bucchigiri?! #this got verrrrrry long and rambly but i'm overall DELIGHTED by this episode #i didn't touch on this in the post (rambled on too long already lol) #but i really liked the framing of some of the shots and found they had a very theatrical quality to them! #like the confrontation between matakara and akutaro in the dark #but with the huge spotlight on them #felt like stage lights! i can so easily imagine this getting a stage play (in fact i would bet money that it'll get one) #anyway. still vibing hard with this and LOVE this matakara -> arajin -> mahoro parallel

was having MOC feelings yesterday so today decided to do some doodles about it

might do more, depends on what my brain feels like focusing on next

#voice of the skeptic #voice of the smitten #voice of the stubborn #the long quiet #voice of the cold #voice of the hero #I imagine the voices being more like spirits that can float around and *kinda* interact with Quiet while in the construct #which is why Cold can do that very theatrical hold on LQ’s head (drama queen) #slay the princess #stp voices #the moment of clarity #stp spoilers #sal draws #sketches

Yulian and Spouse Fighting or Arguing? What will he do?

This scenario is very highly unlikely to happen because he's such a slimy eel... but here goes to feed you.

Yulian would snap out of it 5 seconds at the moment he realized he was not in the state to converse with you in any way. If he raised his voice slightly then it would only take only a slight second to have him silence himself.

He had scared you, hadn't he?

Please don't be scared. His mind was racing just as fast as his man-made heart.

Depending on your reaction, if you flashed him just any bit of fear, tear, or anything, he could just break down right there and then, his mind disoriented for a moment to be able to make any smart move and remarks.

Yet if you were indifferent to him, he would also surge in panic. though not as much as the above.

And if you were just as fierce, he would try his best to make any smart comments that would save him out of this trouble.

Either way, Yulian is a man of avarice, not wrath. He knew well how to control himself and at best, to not ever upset you. Facial expressions, voice, and body gestures.

#I used to detail him a lot so the answer to this is very easy #I had even once deailed how he hinted you for sex bahahhhahaha #It was years ago though~ #So sorry it took so long to reply #Theatric Guest #Yulian the Corruption #LIfE Project

let's play the game, how many scarves (and one dressing gown) can jeremy brett fit on one small circular mirror in the most theatrical manner possible? it's 6! although i'm not convinced the ones slightly off camera actually stayed on...

#our theatrical queerio #i love his scarves #his favorites are a very simple knit stitch and i always wonder if someone in granada knitted them for him #especially cuz his scarves are unnaturally long #also the playful pat on the shoulder kills me #as does his smile at the end #sherlock holmes #john watson #granada #granada holmes #granada watson #jeremy brett #edward hardwicke #wisteria lodge #original post

Demanding more lisp

posts in which it is imperative that wade be read with a fruity obnoxious little gay lisp:

#ask-spiderpool #she's a LETHSBIAN harold. #hoh-moh-SECKS-ssuals... #i love wade intentionally having the most ridiculous pronunciation in the world for certain words. #penetration... penatracione... pen-ah-TRRAh-see-oh-neh #it's very important you roll the Rs... #your erectioné in this directioné... #i hate this man and his mouth. #i have such a vivid and stupid voice for wade wilson that lives in my head and i hear him so clearly #and im just like so. so upset that i can't manifest this voice and have all of you hear it #he has the MOST stupid way of talking ever and i so want to animate to it. #it's something like robin william's genie from aladdin. an animator's delight. he's so. so theatric. all the time. #and he's constantly changing and shifting accents and impressions and mannerisms. #just whatever he can to make the delivery as funny as possible. #he has this universally ambigious accent all the time. and he's so. so good at accents. #he's just totally brilliant at mimicry. you should hear his peter parker impression. it's perfect. he nails it. peter is so mad about it. #he absolutely can answer the phone as peter and nobody is the wiser. #if he dons peter's tights nobody would discern from voice alone. they'd only be able to tell by the different body types.

#sir this is a wendys #i am not even ashamed of having this whole ramble memorized. #txt #ftf #honestly from a screen-writing perspective a drunken rant is the BEST way to deliver this kind of background information to an audience #without clunky exposition. very important considering this was a major theatrical release and not everyone in the theater would have been #familiar with the show.

cant lie itd be fucking awesome if the s&co fandom would treat mariana as her own person and not an extension to sherlock and john. seriously would it fucking kill you guys to talk about her outside of shipping?

"oh what if she gets paired up with john!!!" like. i fully understand the fear dont get me wrong! i have this fear too! but this is ALL YOU PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. LET HER STAND ON HER OWN. GIVE HER A CHANCE.

I UNDERSTAND we havent gotten much content of her yet! but in my opinion this only makes this fear even MORE annoying, you guys just SEE a woman and are instantly scared shes gonna ruin your yaoi.

let women exist outside of shipping and men jfc

#this isnt targeted at anyone dw i just find this extremely annoying #also im aware i sound very angry in this post im more just playing it up for theatrics #just please treat her as her own character like u guys do for sherlock and john:( #sherlock & co #sherlock and co #sherlock holmes #john watson #mariana #cray s&co complaining
