i got a ko-fi!! + emergency sketch requests (tl;dr at end)
hey everybody, i first just wanted to say oh my god??? thank you all so much for the crazy support on my recent art, and hello to all the new followers i've gained! ok. now to the main point.
so! i've never been the type to like asking for money or support of any financial type, but today i had my wallet stolen and all my funds spent. i work a full-time job and depend on each paycheck to support myself and those i love, and at 20, that can be hard. this happening has left a huge hole in my pocket, and while i'll hopefully be able to get most of what was stolen back, it's still really fucked with my ability to feed myself and pay some bills i needed to get paid.
SO!!!!! if anyone who enjoys my art would like to support me at all, i've made a ko-fi! whether it's to tip for what i create, or donate to help in this crappy time, all of it is deeply appreciated.
ALSO!!! for anyone who tips 5$ or more and messages me with proof of transaction, i'll do a small TMA or HERMITCRAFT sketch request! any character, anyone. i'll probably do more with it based on the size of donation, but that will all be worked out in DM's.
ok, that's all! thanks so much again to everyone that's been boosting my work, it means so much to me.

TL;DR: i had my wallet stolen and funds spent, so i've made a ko-fi for those who would like to support me or my art in this shitty time. for those that donate $5 or more, i will also do a small TMA or HERMITCRAFT sketch request.

I think the thing about comparison da2 and bg3 companions is you gotta do it based on what class they are and not vibes. Fenris and astarion are both white haired elves yes but fenris uses a fucking great sword. He's feral like la'zel. Astarion works better in comparison with like Isabela or Varric. Both of which would kick his ass.

Harry Potter AND Marvel in the year of our lord 2022?? Bestie get some taste 😔 Also you might think you're not supporting TERF JKR since you're just writing fanfictions but you're still promoting her work that she uses the profits of to legit fund anti-trans laws so 💀💀
Is this it? Am I the drama?
Anyways, you don't have to like my work?? I'm not asking you to? There's this cute lil thing called a block button and I highly encourage you to use it. If you don't wanna see my content then block me it is literally that simply lmao.
I am also aware that JKR is a terf, hence my disclaimer in my bio. I do not buy any of her products, I do not support any of her views. And because I write for the Harry Potter universe, I make sure to reblog every support chain that I see concerning any trans person. I even donate when I'm financially able to.
I'm fully aware that this may not be enough for you, and I genuinely don't care. You have the audacity to send me hate when you won't even get off anon, which is a little backwards to me but what can I do ya know.
Anyways, anon is off now bestie. You got smth to say? Say it with your chest

thinking about how OJ definitely watched UFO videos in his spare time well before Jean Jacket.
thinking about how he actually started talking to Angel (as much as he talks) because Angel just softly said "you know they don't call them UFOs anymore"
of course Em understands and believes him when he sees something. but the fact that this weird jerk just quietly validates him without knowing anything about it (before bursting into an unhinged rant) is important too.
it's a miniscule detail but it defines their relationship for the whole movie. Angel gets OJ. he figures out their plan immediately. Angel's coworker asks about OJ, not Em, despite her being the one he was talking to. OJ looks at him, not the sky, when he comes back and shows them the cloud and he and OJ are on the same page about it not being enough. he's the one who nixes "use horses as bait" plan on the siblings' behalf. he's the one who asks if they can help people and OJ is the person he looks to when he does. Angel possibly dying because of Holst is the most shaken OJ gets (after Star Lasso) until Jean Jacket almost gets Em a couple minutes later.
it's a tiny microcosm of being seen. the emotional crux of the movie hinges on who sees us and how: consumed as a spectacle for entertainment or seen by the people who value and love us.
Angel sees OJ and that matters because it's clear not that many people do.

Jupe is a fake cowboy.
So, I just saw Nope with some friends for Halloween and it became all I could think about recently. One of the things I realized is that Jupe and OJ are foils of each other in the most funniest ways possible:
Jupe is a fake cowboy, OJ is a real one.
What do we know about OJ? He’s a horse trainer, it’s his passion, he would risk life and limb to save his horses. He knows what they like, what sets them off, how to calm them down, how to tame them. His familiarity with animals is what helps him figure out what Jean Jacket is and what sets her off. He's the first to really understand Jean Jacket. When they need to bait Jean Jacket out, he goes out on his fucking horse and stares that bitch down, even though he knows its what pisses her off. He has a standoff with a fucking kaiju and comes out alive. He’s a working man, always busy, always wears a hoodie and trucker’s hat because it’s practical. He’s lives in the desert, out in the middle of nowhere, in the frontier. It’s so out there and nowhere that it’s where Jean Jacket hides. He’s broke, he’s selling his horses to Jupe to make ends meet. He’s a loner, he’s an outcast. He keeps his cool, even when’s scared out of his mind. He’s gruff, he speaks sparsely but intently, he’s brave. He’s a cowboy.
Jupe, though? Jupe is a former child actor who owns a western-style theme park. He wears the gaudiest, glitziest cowboy outfits you’ve ever seen. He’s never touched a horse in his life. He doesn’t give a shit about them, he treats them like food. He gives this spiel about taming this wild chestnut stallion before the show but it’s all bullshit. When he’s trying to sacrifice Lucky to Jean Jacket, he tries to usher it out like it’s a fucking dog. “Get out. Come on, do it, now!“ Lucky doesn’t budge an inch, he commands no respect. He’s buying OJ’s family horses just so that he can kill them all. He’s pressuring OJ to sell his land, his family ranch, to him, for his theme park. He had a traumatic experience with a chimp on a TV show, and because that chimp died before it could do anything to him, he thinks he’s special. He thinks he’s chosen, he thinks he’s tamed Jean Jacket - this predatory, alien beast, like you would tame a wild stallion. He’s one of the first people we see die to her. He’s a liar, a sell-out, a thief, an exploiter.
Jupe dresses up like a cowboy, likes to acts like one, but he’s pretend. He’s not a cowboy, he’s a land baron. If Nope was a classic western he would be wearing a mustache and a monocle. He’s nowhere near the cowboy he thinks he is.
This is why Jupe dies to Jean Jacket while trying to exploit her, and why OJ comes out alive even when he’s pissed her off. Westerns were always about the frontier, the unknown, which is why sci-fi and horror work oddly well with the genre. Jean Jacket represents the unknown, a spectacle of the unimaginable a new frontier. She’s alien and dangerous and completely uncontrollable. OJ, the broke working man who works with horses and lives out in the frontier, respects the unknown, understands it, works within it’s rules. Jupe, the land baron theme park owner, tries to market it, commodify it, exploit it, turn it into a spectacle, and it’s ultimately what kills him. You can’t tame the unknown, you can only try to understand and respect it.
A land baron could never understand the frontier - the unknown - the way a cowboy can. God this move is good.

Something about Angel being the young, depressed minimum wage worker, who's wimpy, into niche rock bands and hates the government BUT who's also absolutely fucking shredded gets me. There's technically no cognitive dissonance between those traits but seeing him in his uniform rambling about UAP conspiracies or hiding under a table in fear, whilst looking like he could beat the shit out of a bipedal, terrestrial-type alien makes me smile
