I'd probably have to read the printed version and web version back to back at some point to note all the differences but... ough

#sorry i'm going to be excited about this comic for the next month #nofna #okay having finished this now-- #and sorry if this doesn't make sense to anyone who's completely unfamiliar with this comic in advance- #the 'popcorn ending' (printed version) is nice to see but i think the web version hits harder. if that makes sense #so i'm kinda tied on which ending i 'prefer'- i think both are good though #also considering i've read the web version a good 4-5 times and the printed version only once- i probably can't make that judgement yet #easy answer- i do like Nutsedge :] so it's nice to see the ending where nothing bad happens to her #but also- NT suddenly becoming a greenie-esque villain out of nowhere felt a little jarring #as well as SV suddenly turning a corner and becoming a 'good guy' (arguable)- considering the first three books are about #/him being too stubborn to change or accept any outside worldviews . Him suddenly coming to his senses felt out of place #<- probably biased because i like characters being bitter to the end and ultimately destroyed by their own hubris #the web version is probably‚ objectively‚ a bit better #but - #(spoilers- if you're planning to drop ~70 bucks on getting these books) #the conceit of SV actually perfecting his style‚ using it once‚ and then immediately getting tooth-brained- was pretty cool #assuming it's meant to parallel him spending months tormented by trying to perfect it while something's still missing- #and then dying before he can narrate it to the audience‚ so that we never know what he figured out. #hard to articulate these thoughts but tl;dr- popcorn ending also had a lot to think about

In s5 when Mike and Will are having their big final boss argument and Will says, Just forget it, Mike! It’s not your fault, okay!?!!

#byler #st5 #st5 predictions #like it could be in any context of their fight #having nothing to do with the implications of that line in s3 #and yet bc that same line in s3 was a blurt of sorts #the parallel would just hit you the instant it hits mike 😭 #idk I’m excited for the s5 fight… #I feel like it’s gonna come after an almost kiss in a previous episode #and then lead up to their first kiss… #like final boss fight has to end in a kiss I’m sorry it just has to #or lead up to a kiss #how else are they going to do a third and final fight and not make it feel repetitive #it needs to end with results this time!! #at the very least give us an almost kiss with interruption (human or supernatural idc) #also I want tears and yelling and 🥺

hello tumblr.com you'll have to excuse me because instead of being autistic about something relevant like a tv show or perhaps nature, i have become entranced by the experience of the american diner. i very much would like to go through the whole thing again. it is so structured and expected and there's a menu and sugar packets and bench seats and comfortable food and PIE! and you get to have pleasant light conversation and nothing more and the lighting is never bright and it's all very very cool

#i had been to a diner once before as a kid #i haven't had a very exciting life as an adult on account of the dyings #i loved the diner experience #it was all so routine and expected and great and there was pie #this is like my special interest in 2001-7 fourth gen dodge grand caravans #none of you know that's a thing for me #but my family had one in 2009 #and it was silver #and it became Special and Important and remains so to this day #i can tell you so much about those cars and yet nothing at all about any other #autism is so autism you know #and here i am ! #thoughts

Life got more interesting when I learned that everything is an argument, everything is political, and everything is deeper than it seems. Everything is the product of something, and it's up to us to figure out what that "something" is. We are interesting as fuck! We are deeper than you think!

It might seem really tedious, but recognizing this has made me so much less incurious. I now want to learn about us as people. Everything is deeper than it seems.

#positivity #i see this as a positive #i was talking about modern art with my dad and i was realizing that we're pretty different in terms of philosophy... #...because i got excited thinking about the politics of art - he was baffled at what's considered 'art' and!!! #that's a deep conversation! modern art is so much deeper than 'lul this guy thinks a red canvas is art' #and people's REACTIONS about what is considered art is just as political as what we *call* art! #and he seemed baffled that i called it political but i don't think art exists in a vacuum - nothing truly does #once i realized everything is an argument i started actually paying more attention to other people #i know this line of thinking is easily overwhelming to others but i found that it was so helpful to me #because now there's yet *another* PURPOSE to actually pay close attention to every little thing #and that's something that's helped save me #you know maybe this is what they mean when they say autistics like to break things apart...? #i'm just putting this out there so maybe somebody can be like 'this is what i want to do too!“

YOOOO! HazbinHotel Trailer just Drop!😱 Spoilers Along with the Release date of Season 1 and 2! Let Us know your Opinion about it!😆

Some things we know:

Amazon Prime is the streaming service that took it up Season 1 will be released in January 2024

It's going to get a season 2

The voice actors still haven't been announced for some reason? The trailer has no dialogue on top of that. We see Lucifer, a lot of Alastor and Vox fighting, the weird demon-looking angel Adam, a meeting of Hell overlords discussing the angel threats, and Sir Pentious is part of the gang now. That's about it? The trailer's music reminds me of a Disney movie for kids. There are a lot of Tinkerbell chime noises and jazzy upbeat music which I don't think is fitting for what the show is trying to go for as a teen-to-adult plot regarding demons from Hell being murdered and dealing with abuse. (They have "Guess what, bitches?" on a text screen in the trailer too) So first impression is extreme overcrowding. List of characters that appear in the trailer alone: Charlie Alastor Vaggie Angel Dust Husker Niffty Sir Pentious Lucifer Lilith Vox Velvet Adam Rosie and we all know Cherri Bomb and Valentino are gonna show up too. These are way too many characters to introduce or juggle in an 8 episode season. There is no possible way to give our main characters enough screen time, focus, or development to make them meaningful protagonists. They either have to rush plots or drop character arcs to squeeze things into 8 episodes.

#really confused and surprised theres a season 2 announced when season 1 hasnt even been released yet #but it is A24 so maybe theyre more willing with their money than netflix or disney #im confused as to why it was announced as soon as the writers strike ended #because season 1 was finished and it was nothing but streaming service deals and PR team stuff happening at that point #so i dont think that is hte reason #it had to have been a streaming service deal still being refined #i just dont see anything meanful in the announcement trailer so #we'll have to wait for the official one #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel critical #im kinda sad that im not excited anymore #i waited years for this series #but after helluva boss season 2 #ive kinda learned what to expect and i dont think its gonna be any good #especially because it breaks a ton of religious lore rules #and that means the world building is gonna be a mess #watch charlie vaggie and niffty get no development #everyone is still also very very red #the thumbnail alone... who are we meant to focus on? #im so tired

the fact that martin is like "teehee im so nice and i want everyone to be happy and safe :)" until anyone even LOOKS in jon's direction is so funny to me

(image 1): "let's gouge our eyes out and run away together"

(image 2): "it was the most romantic thing i've ever heard" "martin i think smth's wrong with us"

(image 3): "i think the boss has something going on w/ that police woman~" (gripped w/ jealousy)

#top ten jealous bitch moments #its everything to me #i screamed when jon told him that oliver brought him back to LIFE and martin was like 😒 wow other men are reanimating you? okay... 🙄 #like girlie he was DEAD!!!!! #nothing stops the will of a petty bastard and i respect it <3 me too martin #my art #doodle #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #timothy stoker #jonmartin #i bought a tablet earlier!! so no drawings yet bc i still need a laptop but we're inching closer #*a drawing tablet #v excited tho i cant wait to have my own tablet with a screen :D

to anyone who's making/made ww3 jokes: shut the fuck up. half of you probably didn't know who ukraine's president was before february. some of you called it the first war in europe since ww2. some of you think that all slavic languages are literally just russian. shut the fuck up.

you don't know anything about us and you don't give a fuck what happens to us. but yes of course, brayden from the us, you need to cope with humour that you might be drafted for a nuclear war.

i am so sick of this. of course i was worried when i saw it on the news but i didn't go on tumblr/twitter/whatever to make jokes about "poland starting another world war"

#omg so excited for article 5 #poland #for the record i am slavic #besides if you read about something like that #you wait until you have more information #especially when nothing is confirmed yet #and most definitely don't tweet shit like #sorry i am upset #russia #nato #ukraine

#tumblrtop10 #i would just like to point out. this is the 2nd year in a row where my top post has absolutely nothing to do with either of my boys #like i genuinely think that is so funny sjfhdksdjfh #i dedicate my entire blog to this scrunkly redhead & yet... lol #i honestly wasn't expecting anyone to like that harthur (harley & arthur) post but i'm glad people did!! #overall i'm not that surprised by the top 10. it's mostly monster boyz which i expect #i am a lil surprised that the valentine's day edit i did made it??? #that post pissed me the fuck off. it took me SO long to get the lighting & the pose & the camera angle right #but in the end. the lighting is quite nice. i really do like the rim lighting effect. it's just hard to pull off #lighting is my weak spot #i think my editing really improved this year though! excited to see what comes out of next year :-)

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

I'm piggybacking a bit off of the last ask of asking for writing tips but I have an odd question... Am I the only person that struggles actually PICKING a book? It's the absolute bane of my existence because I feel like I can be so picky... Don't get me wrong, I love being a bookworm, and I'm trying to get back into reading physical books but it's so difficult to find a real taste of what the book is like without being completely spoiled or something... I miss when backs of books had an actual summary and not just NO.1 NEW YORK BESTSELLER!!!! It's so frustrating... I've been trying to get back into it by re-reading fond chapter childhood books read to me (The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane & A Wrinkle In Time). But at the same time I'm also trying to get into more "adult" books that isn't... Well, you try googling "adult books" and see how that goes, I didn't think too hard about what a poor decision THAT was. But I'm working up the courage to read Cat's Cradle right now to start with "Classic Authors" I guess!

Anyway I'm rambling here, I guess my question is... How do you pick out the books you read? I don't really have friends that read many books to recommend to me :')

Thank you in advance, Bog! I hope you get a callback from that interview soon!

no ok actually you've mentioned something that's been bothering me for a while - What The Hell Do Y'all Mea, Books Don't Have Summaries Anymore???? i have not once in my life found a book that didn't have a summary. i was in barnes & noble recently and everything i looked at had a summary. i have literally never seen a book without one in my life of reading & looking at new books on a regular basis

softcovers have theirs on the back. hardcovers are on the inside of the sleeve - lift the cover and it should be printed right there on the inside flap! summaries aren't legally required but both the author and Especially the publisher(s) know that no one's gonna buy a book without a summary. trust me, all books worth reading have a summary. if a book doesn't have one, it's probably not worth your time anyway. you just gotta know where to look!

so my answer to how i choose books... i read the summary lmao. if it seems interesting, ill either write it down to get later or ill get it there and then.

Before the summary though, i look for any titles that jump out at me from the shelf. then i look at the thickness. i like a bit of meat in my literature, so i tend to shy away from thinner books. thicker ones grab my attention more easily. then i look at the cover - if it interests me, then ill read the summary. i don't have specific tastes in title or cover. as long as it makes my brain "hm" thoughtfully, ill take a gander!

and really, if you have access to a bookstore (chain or not, ive found plenty of bangers in tiny used bookshops) or library, the best way to find a book is to physically browse. even if you dont buy anything, you can take pictures of books / write them down to buy online. but going to the store lets you search them out, examine the length, cover, title, summary - and easily put it back on the shelf or keep it. i hate shopping online bc there's ads, you can't examine the product, nothing really stands out since it's all portrayed similarly, there's limited pictures instead of the physical thing, and photos can lie.

plus, everything is (typically) meticulously sorted by genre & age range. when you go into a section with literature aimed at adults, you'll find exactly that instead of smut novels lmao. real life bookstores can be more accurate than online searches. & there's just something so good about walking through shelves, searching for that one book before you know it exists, smelling the paper... yeah...

#like for example i recently bought priory of the orange tree #ive been wanting it for a while and havent read it yet since im finishing something else #BUT! i remember when i first saw it #nothing had gotten my attention for a while #but then i saw the thickest fucking book ive seen in ages - which was automatically very sexy of it #and then the title was unique - priory of the orange tree??? whoah! what the fuck does that mean!!! #so automatically there was the interest of neat title + a new word that i get to learn + the implications of the word now that i understand #and then i picked the book up and it was deliciously heavy - & there was a Dragon on the cover. which. YES PLEASE #then the summary was fascinating!! the book was immediately seared into my brain! im very excited to read it #so thats a highly successful example of my book choosing Process #it checked all of my boxes so it was a win #most books dont check all of my boxes but as long as it hits most of them im down to clown yk yk #but yeah im picky too so! nothing wrong with being picky or having high standards! #rambles from the bog #my shelves are fuckin Full of books ranging from 'it was ok' to 'I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL WHO WILL LISTEN' #and then i have a drawer filled with books that i just could not care less about / dont like #but dont have the heart to throw away bc. well putting a book in the trash kills a part of my soul #i need to donate them... #but yes! i hope that helps! #and Thank You! i hope i get a callback as well...
